CU Buffs fans to protest NCAA selectors before team takes on Texas Southern in NIT
A lot of us were upset when the CU Buffs got screwed out of an NCAA tournament bid. But Josh Siegel and Alec Segall decided to do something about it. They created the "CU RALLY AND MARCH TO COORS FOR ROUND 1 GAME OF THE NIT" Facebook page with the goal of simultaneously protesting the injustice and rooting the Buffs on for redemption beginning tonight versus Texas Southern.
Here's how the pair describe their goals:
This is not an event where we are going to be lighting torches or blowing up vehicles. We are protesting the unfair decision made by the Selection Committee in a peaceful and justified way.
The protest has been renamed to be a rally to support the Buffaloes in their pursuit of the NIT championship.
Come show your support for your school and athletic program, as the nation needs to know that we take our basketball seriously and and our seniors needs to know that we appreciate the service they have given to thus University.
Despite the rumors, this is a pro-Buffaloes rally and a positive way to show the nation and the community that we care about our reputation.
In a season of protesting, the CU student body is planing a protest of the NCAA selection committee's decision to not allow the University of Colorado one of 37 at large bids. It is now time to show the seniors of CU basketball it is time to rally and win the NIT. We will be meeting 1 and a half hours before Wednesday night's game of CU VS. Texas Southern on Farrand Field and then March...THOUSANDS STRONG....to CHEER ON THE BUFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go BUFFS!
Those interested in following their lead are encouraged to gather at Farrand Field on the CU campus from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., when the game is slated to get underway.
Meanwhile, prepare yourself for the contest with this massive cache of game notes courtesy of the CU Buffs website:

The gap between ethylene supply and demand stands at 3.3 million tonnes last year, creating a mainland shortage despite the fact the country is stepping up efforts to increase production, according to yesterday's China Petrochemical News. It said the country produced 4.3 million tonnes of ethylene last year. However, annual demand reached 7.78 million tonnes, leaving a gap of 3.3 million tonnes. This year it expects to produce 5.05 million tonnes.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
29 Nov 2010 00:50 GMT | Latin America, Brazil
" />
Monica Villamizar reports from Alemao amid the fighting as police close in on drug gangs.
Police in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro have claimed victory in the Alemao shantytown after launching an operation aimed at pushing members of a drug gang out of the area.
But about 600 gang members are believed to be remain in Alemao, a grouping of a dozen slums in the north of the city where tens of thousands of people live.
"There is no doubt that Rio residents have reason to celebrate today," Rodrigo Oliveira, Rio police inspector, said. "The complex was seen as a fortress for drug traffickers and in less than two hours we took control.''
Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo, reporting from Rio, said that the first phase of the operations was over, with security forces having penetrated deep into the slum.
"Authorities are planning to put a Brazilian flag on top of the favela," our correspondent said.
"This is our D-Day," Colonel Lima Castro, the military police spokesman, said in a reference to the historic allied invasion of Normandy during World War Two.
Brazilian police seized 40 tons of marijuana in its crackdown on drug trafficking gangs in slums, in northern Rio de Janeiro, a state official told the AFP news agency on Sunday.
"The military police alone seized 20 tons. The rest was done by the civil police force and other security forces that participated in the crackdown," said a spokesman for Rio de Janeiro state's security.
Secretariat Reporters were shown several houses where huge quantities of marijuana, ready packaged for distribution, were stacked in rooms and abandoned by drug traffickers fleeing security forces.
Ultimatum given
Nelson Jobim, Brazil's defence minister, had authorised the deployment of 10 military armoured vehicles, two air force helicopters and 800 soldiers for the offensive, to reinforce the 17,500 police involved in the earlier stage of the crackdown. About 300 federal police were also dispatched to bolster local forces.
Police had given suspected drug traffickers in Alemao slum an ultimatum to turn themselves in after more than 1,000 police and army personnel surrounded the area.
Ahead of the offensive, many residents of Alemao streamed down the narrow alleyways of the slum carrying their belongings - chairs, washing machines, bags of clothing - to escape being caught in the crossfire.
The crackdown on traffickers in Rio de Janeiro's shantytowns, locally known as favelas, has resulted in the deaths of at least 45 people and the arrest of 192 others since it began last week.
Security forces launched the operations after a week of intense and widespread violence in the city, during which dozens of motorists were robbed and more than 100 cars and buses were set ablaze.
Authorities say the gangs are protesting against a two-year-old police campaign that has pushed the criminals out of slums where they have long ruled with impunity.
Brazilians have been glued to the continuous coverage of the violence on local television, which has shown buses engulfed in flames and elite police units battling their way through the slums.
Sergio Cabral, Rio de Janeiro's governor, has vowed repeatedly to break the back of drug gangs in the shantytowns.
"We have demonstrated to those who don't respect the law ... the pre-eminence of a democratic state governed by the law," he said after police occupied Vila Cruzeiro, a slum neighboring Alemao.
Around two million of Rio's inhabitants – one-third of the population – live in more than 1,000 slums. Authorities hope to pacify 100 of the most violent ones by 2014 when the country will host the football World Cup.

text: Home > Lifestyle > Contraception > News Updated 14 February 2013 Obama relooks contraception Religious organisations that object to providing birth control coverage would be allowed to hand that responsibility off to a third party under new rules. 0 Talk Divorce support » Ask Addiction Expert » Quiz Are you depressed? » Like Health24 on Facebook » Strange sex Get the perfect shave Religious organisations that object to providing birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act would be allowed to hand that responsibility off to a third party under new rules proposed by the Obama administration. The so-called "contraception mandate" has already been challenged in court by numerous groups on the grounds that it violates their religious beliefs. Federal health officials said that the new rules are an attempt to address some of those concerns. "The [Obama] administration is committed to working with all employers to give them the flexibility and resources they need to implement the health care law in a way that both protects women's health and also makes common-sense accommodations for religious beliefs," Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, deputy director for policy and regulation at the US Department of Health and Human Services' Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, said at a news conference. The proposed rules show how non-profit religious organisations, such as Catholic hospitals or universities, can offer their employees or students separate contraceptive coverage that would be provided by a third party or insurer. There would still be no co-pay and the cost of the coverage would not be carried by the religious organisation. There will be a 60-day comment period on this latest reworking of the mandate, part of the sweeping 2010 health-reform law known as the Affordable Care Act. The mandate is scheduled to go into effect for religious non-profit in August. Religious groups had mixed reactions to the proposal. New York Archbishop Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement that he looked forward to studying the proposed regulations, The New York Times reported. Stephen Schneck, director of Catholic University of America's Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies, told the newspaper that the proposed rules were "an important win for religious institutions." Access to health care services Meanwhile, women's-rights groups continued to voice support for the guiding principle behind the original provision in the Affordable Care Act. "This policy delivers on the promise of women having access to birth control without co-pays no matter where they work," Planned Parenthood said in a statement released Friday. "Of course, we are reviewing the technical aspects of this proposal, but the principle is clear and consistent. This policy makes it clear that your boss does not get to decide whether you can have birth control." Marcia Greenberger, co-president of the National Women's Law Center, noted that, "Our overriding concern is that women have meaningful access to essential preventive health care services, like birth control, without co-pays or deductibles. We look forward to reviewing and commenting on the proposed regulation in detail to ensure that women are able to make personal health decisions without interference by their bosses." Although no federal dollars will be used to fund the program, the cost to insurers isn't known and the government is seeking comment on costs, Brooks-LaSure said. For institutions that insure themselves, their third-party administrator would work with an insurance company to provide a separate plan to cover contraceptives, she said. The rules also clarify the definition of a "religious employer," making it clear who can opt out of contraceptive coverage on such grounds. Primarily, these are churches, other houses of worship and their affiliated organisations, according to Health and Human Services. In addition, a religious group could be exempt even if it "provides charitable social services to persons of different religious faiths or employs persons of different religious faiths," HHS said. Government officials said they did not think the proposal would expand the number of employer plans that qualify for the exemption.

A Feisty Fighter. This title could be applied to two three-term New York mayors:
Fiorello Laguardia (1934-1945) and Edward I. Koch (1978-1989). Like
LaGuardia, Koch cut his teeth as a US Congressman. He was elected the second
Jewish mayor (following Abraham Beame) in November 1977, jumping into the
caldron of New York's financial crisis. The great majority of New Yorkers
greatly admired his extraordinary fighting spirit, particularly in his first
term. He faced the daunting tasks of balancing a shaky budget; cajoling
financial aid from banks, union pension funds, and state and the Federal
government; taking on the municipal unions (including a serious mass transit
strike); and staving off urban decay. This was not done without incurring the
enmity of various ethnic constituencies and powerful pressure groups, but he was
convinced that municipal bankruptcy would have been a disaster.At the
outset of his autobiography, Mayor, he credits the briefing by me (then vice
president Of Citibank) on the city's budgetary and financial crisis, as the
impetus for his running for mayor two and a half years later. Koch says, "I
cannot say that the fiscal crisis was the beginning of my desire to be Mayor of
New York, because New Yorkers with long memories will recall that I ran
unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary in 1973.But I can say honestly
that the challenge of saving the City from financial ruin or worse was the kind
of challenge I like. It was at that moment I knew I was going to run again for
Mayor."Never married, Koch had three great loves. First was the City of
New York. The second was the rough and tumble of politics. And the third was his
profound love for the State of Israel, even overshadowing his Jewish ethnic
pride. His bruising exchanges with President Jimmy Carter were
legendary.For example, during the 1980 National Election, Koch said to
Carter, as quoted in Mayor, "And what they see, Mr. President, is that in
the one country which has consistently given them support, that support has
eroded. In the past we vetoed resolutions that were one-sided against Israel and
that questioned Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem. Then we got to the point
where we simply abstained, and now we are supporting resolutions that have
sanctions in them and are denunciatory."I will always cherish the
professional relationship I enjoyed with him . His fighting spirit filled most
New Yorkers with pride. He was a symbol of the spirit of New York
City.The writer, a senior economist and vice-president of Citibank for
25 years, was the first to identify the New York fiscal crisis and played a
major role in resolving it. He has a Masters of Public Affairs from
Princeton University.

IPOH: Those who have departed may rest in peace but not their families, as prices of caskets have gone up in the past year, mainly due to a hike in transportation and material and labour costs.
However, mindful of the sensitive nature of their business, casket owners are striving to keep the costs under control.
Fook Loke Sau Casket Centre director Thung Siew Ching said that since early last year, the prices had increased by between RM100 and RM600.
"A casket that used to cost RM800 is now going for RM1,200. The price of the caskets varies according to the size and materials used.
"With the increase in transportation fees and the escalating prices of other items, our business also needs to adapt," she said.
Thung added that she also needed to review the prices for her other funeral services because the prices of fruits, kuih-muih and paper effigies had also gone up.
"But I won't do it drastically and I will be making the changes in phases," she promised. "We need to take into consideration some of our customers' financial background."
Kam Chiew Casket owner Ng Kam Wah said his company would bear some of the costs so as not to burden customers.
"If the family is poor, we will offer a discount," said Ng, adding that the caskets at his shop ranged from RM300 to RM30,000.
Some of the more expensive coffins are made from cengal emas, a kind of hard wood, while the cheaper ones are manufactured from rubber wood.
David Lim, who has a shop in Sungai Petani, said the implementation of the RM900 minimum wage for labourers had worsened the situation, adding that prices had shot up by 10%,
"The prices of the coffins last went up almost three years ago," he said.
"Our sales have also decreased by almost 10% as there are shops that have not increased their prices."

Marine Research Vessel.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
The Energy, Water and National Infrastructures Ministry will be buying the NIS 20 million Bat Galim from the Defense Ministry in order to conduct marine research projects, the ministry announced on Sunday."The acquisition of the new research vessel is critical for the purposes of performing marine research and understanding the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea," said Energy, Water and National Infrastructures Minister Silvan Shalom.The ship, which will be used by numerous governmental agencies, research institutions and the IDF, will gather information about changes in the sea and about the natural gas exploration and production taking place in the Mediterranean, the ministry said. In addition, it will promote multidisciplinary research, monitor and map Israel's exclusive economic zone, track the impact of marine infrastructure on the environment and evaluate potential ecological damage.The vessel can accommodate about 20 researchers and crew members, and can remain at sea for about two weeks, the ministry said. It is equipped to perform research at depths of up to 3,000 meters and can carry laboratories and containers. In emergency situations, it will also serve as a backup platform for the Defense Ministry and Israel Navy.Primarily, Bat Galim will be operated by the non-profit governmental corporation Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research, which also serves the Environmental Protection Ministry, the Science and Technology Ministry, research institutes and other bodies. It will also enable research conducted in conjunction with international institutes; payment by foreign entities will cover the costs of ship use, the ministry said."The investment of the Energy, Water and National Infrastructures Ministry in the boat will improve marine and environmental research in the region and assist in the gathering of updated and reliable information," Shalom said."Thanks to the advanced equipment installed on the vessel, it will serve as a body for mapping, research and security in working with scientific tools and technologies in the Mediterranean."Also in the field of marine-environment protection, the Israel Electric Corporation on Thursday performed an emergency drill for handling potential Mediterranean contamination incidents at its Orot Rabin power plant in Hadera. For the first time, emergency team members practiced using modern equipment and performing exercises related to handling a fuel leak – in this scenario, a two-ton leak into the sea.During the exercise the IEC enacted emergency procedures and immediately alerted the Environmental Protection Ministry, its own emergency teams and those of the Hadera port, the company said. Emergency crews were dispatched with new equipment and diving teams with the aim of obstructing the spread of contaminants and pumping leaked fuel into a container, the IEC said.

Smart Building Technologies Can Tackle SOTU Challenges
In the State of the Union address President Obama made three specific comments on climate and energy that signify real opportunity for innovation in the approach to some of our biggest economic challenges. Energy efficiency, and more specific smart building technologies, can be the tools to drive the change in how we consume energy and reroute our path on climate change.
First off, President Obama acknowledged our obligation to address climate change: "But for the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change…Now, the good news is we can make meaningful progress on this issue while driving strong economic growth. I urge this Congress to get together, pursue a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change…"
Successful climate mitigation policy must address building efficiency for two reasons: first, because commercial and industrial facilities in the US contribute nearly half of the country's total greenhouse gas footprint; and second, because smart building technologies take energy efficiency to the next level and effectively combat energy waste while generating economic value – a critical benefit for political and business acceptance.
The President further elaborated on his vision for climate change action stating, "if Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will. I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy…"
Energy efficiency is the most sustainable source of energy, and smart building technologies bring a new sophistication to energy management that can elevate efficiency to the appeal of alternative energy like solar and wind that so often dominate the conversation. Energy efficiency is about eliminating the waste in how we operate our buildings, but the nuts and bolts of engineering improvements often push the topic off the public palette for energy policy debate. Smart building technologies can bring new viability to energy efficiency priorities by leveraging leading edge information technology to deliver a combination of energy and cost savings that resonate with a broad spectrum of stakeholders from the c-suite to operators to sustainability advocates.
Finally, the President made one final, and pivotal, comment on energy the address when he stated, "I'm also issuing a new goal for America: Let's cut in half the energy wasted by our homes and businesses over the next 20 years. We'll work with the states to do it. Those states with the best ideas to create jobs and lower energy bills by constructing more efficient buildings will receive federal support to help make that happen."
Again, smart building technologies can be primary enablers to meet this goal. EPA energy star estimates that 30 percent of all energy used in commercial and industrial buildings in the US is wasted. That suggests that incorporating time tested efficiency strategies and technologies will get us a long way toward this goal, but something more will still be needed. This is where smart building technologies come into play. These next generation energy management solutions utilize information technology and building automation to bring unprecedented coordination to building operations. The kind of integrated energy management of a smart building redefines a facility – these technologies allow building systems to respond in real time to external signals or internal policies. This means that buildings can elevate from simply operating optimally without energy waste, but in a future vision, even become resources that interact with the grid responding to demand response or price signals of grid stress and shedding load by changing how equipment operates such as dimming lights or raising the temperature by a degree or two. This kind of dynamic operations of the smart building can push efficiency over the threshold to meet the 50% goal outlined by the President.
In the end, energy policy is hotly debated and politicized, but energy efficiency and smart buildings can bridge the gap to promote real climate change mitigation through investments that make both economic and environmental sense.

Thanks for the post, Casey. It would be interesting to know whether you see any quick fixes for existing offices buildings, i.e. quick fixes for older office buildings.

"I do not mind the IMF doing this sort of analysis.However what I do mind is them ignoring the positive affects of this fossil fuel use. Every country that has existed has relied on acess to energy to increase the living standards. Fossil fuels are still the primary route for this access. Ignoring this is not painting a true and accurate picture. "
