Interview: Putting San Francisco
On the Road to Zero Waste by 2020
For 20 years, Jack Macy has spearheaded San Francisco's efforts to become a global leader in recycling. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
Jack Macy
Macy describes how San Francisco has succeeded in reusing or composting 80 percent of its garbage and how the city has engaged the public in a recycling crusade, allaying initial fears of "trash police" sifting through residents' garbage. While San Francisco has made tremendous progress, Macy says further changes are needed. "Part of the principle of zero waste is that the local government can't shoulder all the burden," he says, "so it's important that we encourage consumers to take responsibility for what they buy ... and producer responsibility for the products they design and market."

atmosphere's chemical composition. The first satellite in the ESA's Copernicus program, the Sentinel 1A, was launched last month and has already returned many striking images based on radar data, such as this view of Brussels, Belgium, in which the dense urban area contrasts with the city's heavily vegetated surroundings. Once Sentinel satellite 1B is launched next year, the two will be able to map the entire globe in six days, giving researchers and conservationists a powerful way to monitor both short- and long-term changes in the environment. Four additional groups of satellites are set to launch this year. Those arrays will focus on high-resolution photo imagery, topography, surface temperatures, and atmospheric chemistry.

'Living Fences' Dramatically
Cut Livestock and Lion Killings in Tanzania

the Guardian reports
. Traditionally, the Masai have built livestock enclosures out of thorny acacia trees, but those fences are relatively fragile. Chain-link fencing alone is more durable, but leopards and small lions can scale the fences, and hyenas can tunnel in below. By interweaving actively growing African myrrh trees with the chain link fencing, the Masai have created a barrier that lions can't climb over, and their root systems prevent predators from digging under the fence. Because livestock predation has been cut, communities that had been killing six or seven lions annually now kill, on average, less than one, leading to a rebound in lion populations.

The William Penn Foundation, working with nonprofit groups such as The Open Space Institute, says its Delaware River Initiative will protect more than 30,000 acres of land, launch 40 restoration projects, create incentives for businesses and landowners to protect the watershed, and set up a comprehensive program of water quality monitoring that will enable the foundation and its partners to measure the success of their programs and the overall health of the river. A cornerstone of the foundation's initiative will be its restoration and protection work in eight so-called "sub-watersheds" that feed into the Delaware River.

, uses data from 170 million trips made by New York City's 13,500 taxis in 2011. High-resolution GPS coordinates and timestamps for each trip allowed researchers to pinpoint locations in the city that are high-traffic hubs for taxi pick-ups and drop-offs, as well as calculate fare savings, decreases in total miles traveled, and cuts in CO2 emissions if ride-sharing existed. The researchers found that taxi-sharing could reduce the number of trips by 40 percent with only minimal inconvenience to the passengers. The findings highlight the potential benefits of ride-sharing in New York and other cities, including lower vehicle emissions, reduced congestion, and savings in time and money.

U.S. Car-Sharing Programs Have
Taken 500,000 Cars off Roads, Report Says
The rapid growth of car-sharing programs has cut the number of vehicles on U.S. roads by more than half a million, according to
new research
by AlixPartners, a consultancy group with clients in the automotive industry. The trend will continue beyond 2020, the group projects, at which point 4 million people will be participating in car-sharing programs and 1.2 million fewer cars will be on the road. Of the 10 cities surveyed, residents of Boston, home of the Zipcar company, were most aware of car-sharing programs. Young people and, surprisingly, households with children were least likely to own their own cars, the survey said. Roughly half of the people who had tried car-sharing had already decided not to purchase or lease their own car, and did not plan to do so in the future. Rather than environmental concerns, nearly 60 percent of interviewees said cost and convenience led them to participate in car-sharing.

Shrinking Household Size
May Offset Progress in Curbing Population
Household size — the number of people living together under one roof — has been shrinking worldwide, and the trend could have major consequences for
resource consumption
, new research
. Although global population growth has been somewhat curbed in the developed world, the number of households has continued to grow at a much faster pace in nearly all countries, Michigan State University researchers found. Average household size in developed nations declined from approximately five members in 1893 to 2.5 in 2000, while the rapid decline in household size in developing nations began around 1987,
according to the research
, which analyzed trends between the years 1600 and 2000. Smaller households are typically less efficient, with fewer people using proportionally more land, water, and energy. Constructing housing units also consumes lumber and building supplies, and generally requires building more roads and commercial areas. "This will put enormous strain on the environmental life support system we rely on, even if we achieve a state of zero population growth," one study author said.

a host of government incentives — totaling an estimated $8,300 per vehicle — are largely driving the boom,

Norway, a country of only 5 million people, currently has around 21,000 electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads, compared to 70,000 EVs among 313 million Americans and 5,000 EVs among 63 million people in the UK. More than 1,200 EVs are being sold in Norway per month thanks to incentives that include free electricity for recharging, lower sales tax rates, waived tolls, free parking, insurance discounts, and permission to drive in bus lanes, which are less crowded. The EV rush is expected to slow, however, as bus lanes become more crowded, and the government plans to end financial incentives once 50,000 EVs are registered, which could occur by 2016.

Los Angeles Becomes First
Major U.S. City to Adopt Cool Roof Rule
The Los Angeles City Council has voted unanimously to require "cool roofs" for all new and refurbished homes,
becoming the first major U.S. city to do so
. "Cool roofs" incorporate light- and heat-reflecting building materials, which can lower the surface temperature of the roof by up to 50 degrees F on a hot day, according to
Climate Resolve
, the local organization that pushed for the ordinance. Such roofs do not necessarily need to be white, the Global Cool Cities Alliance says; they can also be shades of gray, or even red. Research suggests that by mid-century temperatures in Los Angeles will increase by 3.7 to 5.4 degrees F, with the number of days above 95 degrees F tripling in the city's downtown. "The changes our region will face are significant, and we will have to adapt," said UCLA scientist Alex Hall, who led the research. The mandate will not cost homeowners additional money because of expanded incentives.

Intensifying Storms Are
Contributing To Ongoing U.S. Wetlands Loss
The U.S. is losing wetlands at a rate of 80,000 acres per year, in part because of intensifying coastal storms and sea level rise, according to a new
government study
. From 2004 to 2009, the country lost more than 360,000 acres of freshwater and saltwater wetlands, a decline driven both by traditional factors, such as coastal development, as well as worsening storms and slowly rising seas, the study says. The rate of loss is a signal that government efforts to protect and restore wetlands are failing to keep pace with major environmental changes, experts told
The Washington Post
. The most pronounced wetlands losses were along the Gulf of Mexico, where major hurricanes have wreaked havoc on coastal lands. Along the Atlantic coast, a rapid increase in coastal development is funneling stormwater runoff into wetlands that cannot handle it, the study said. The loss rate of 80,000 acres annually represents a 25 percent increase over the rate of wetlands loss during 1998-2004, the last time government agencies examined the problem.

China Doubles Pace
Of Renewable Energy Installation in 2013
Over the past 10 months China has added renewable energy sources to its power grid at double the pace of 2012, according to its National Energy Administration (NEA). The renewable energy push, part of a massive effort to cut air pollution in China's large cities, has added more than 36 gigawatts of clean energy capacity
Shanghai, Dec. 3, 2013

. Hydroelectric power grew by 22.3 gigawatts in the first 10 months of 2013, new nuclear energy installations totaled 2.2 gigawatts, solar 3.6 gigawatts, wind 7.9 gigawatts. China's solar energy capacity could triple from 2012 levels to 10 gigawatts by the end of the year, while wind and nuclear power capacity could increase by 22 and 17 percent, respectively, the NEA said. That should offer some relief from China's choking air pollution. In Shanghai,

Urban Car Use Declines
As Biking and Public Transit Rise in the U.S.
Americans in urban areas are driving less, biking more, owning fewer cars, and using public transportation more frequently, according to
new research by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group
(U.S. PIRG). The number of people driving to work fell in 99 of 100 major urban areas between 2006 and 2011, and the number of miles driven by car fell in three-quarters of the cities studied over that time, the PIRG study showed. The proportion of people biking to work increased in 85 of 100 cities, while the number of miles traveled on public transit increased in 60 of 98 cities. Meanwhile, the number of people working from home grew in all 100 cities, the report said. From 2004 to 2012, the average number of vehicle-miles driven per person decreased by 7.6 percent nationwide. "There is a shift away from driving," said Phineas Baxandall, an analyst for the U.S. PIRG Education Fund. "Instead of expanding new highways, our government leaders should focus on investing in public transit and biking for the future."

Disturbed Tropical Forests
Are Slow to Regain Plant Biodiversity
In tropical forests that are regrowing after major disturbances, the ability to store carbon recovers more quickly than plant biodiversity,

Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
This is likely because regenerating forests are often dominated by small, fast-growing trees and it may take centuries for larger trees, which hold more carbon, to become established, according to scientists from the Center for Ecology & Hydrology and Bournemouth University, who studied more than 600 recovering tropical forests. Tree species that are hallmarks of old-growth forests were rare or missing in the regrowing forests, the study showed. Since regenerating forests are often located far from old-growth forests and surrounded by farmland, it may be difficult for animals to move seeds between the forests, which may account for the lower plant biodiversity, researchers said.

Reuters reports
. By 2017, 40 percent of those licenses, which drivers vie for in auctions and lotteries, will be reserved for hybrid and electric cars. New car sales in China are currently capped in four cities — Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Guiyang — and the government plans to limit sales in eight additional cities, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said.

Low on Natural Gas, China
Cities Will Face Choking Air Pollution
In a push to curb air pollution, China has been urging its cities to rely more heavily on natural gas and less on coal. But a shortage of natural gas is threatening that goal, as urban populations boom and domestic gas production lags,
Reuters reports
. Chinese officials have said that to reduce air pollution the most densely populated parts of Beijing should use only gas heat, which limits the supply of natural gas for smaller cities and forces those cities to rely on coal. Pollution levels in Chinese cities commonly exceed World Health Organization guidelines by 40 to 50 times. The problem is most pronounced in northern China, where air pollution from burning coal has already shortened life expectancy by 5.5 years compared to the southern part of the country. China's natural gas shortage is expected to be 10 percent higher this year than last year, since more users have switched from coal. Authorities are rationing natural gas and prioritizing its use for homes and transportation, but experts don't expect the shortage to subside anytime soon.

Underground Heat From
Cities Could Help Power Them, Study Says
The heat generated by urban areas and their buildings, factories, sewers, and transportation systems could be used to power those cities, according to a
new study by German and Swiss researchers
. Thermal energy produced by the so-called "urban heat island effect" warms shallow aquifers lying below cities, and geothermal and groundwater heat pumps could tap into those warm reservoirs to heat and cool buildings, the scientists say. In the southwest German city of Karlsruhe, the researchers found that the city of 300,000 generated 1 petajoule of heat per year — enough to heat 18,000 households. Karlsruhe's underground heat production increased by about 10 percent over the past three decades, the team reported in
Environmental Science and Technology
. The biggest contributors to the city's underground heat flux were its densely populated residential areas and surface temperature increases associated with paving. Sewage pipes, underground district heating networks, and thermal waste water discharges also contribute to warming shallow aquifers, the study found.

recommendations. A new study of European mothers
linked higher PM2.5 exposure
to lower birth weight, a standard indicator of fetal development. Eastern European countries have the highest levels of PM2.5, whereas ground-level ozone is worst in northern Italy. Although emissions of most air pollutants have steadily declined over the past 10 years — lead and carbon monoxide levels, for example, now meet international standards in most areas — emissions haven't fallen as much as predicted.

Arsenic in Vietnam Groundwater
Slowly Moving Toward Hanoi, Study Says

. Water contaminated with arsenic has moved more than a mile

closer to the aquifer over the last 40 to 60 years, the researchers report in
, due to the city's increasing water demand; municipal pumping in Hanoi doubled between 2000 and 2010. The good news, says lead researcher Alexander van Geen of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is the contaminated groundwater "is not moving as fast as we had feared it might." This will give Hanoi officials time, perhaps decades, to determine how to best deal with the problem. The study also determined why arsenic is leaching into the groundwater: As water containing arsenic mixes with high levels of organic carbon from the Red River and other surrounding aquifers, the chemistry changes and arsenic dissolves in the water.

In 11 states, the best all-electric cars are better for the environment than gas-powered hybrids, even when manufacturing is taken into account. In 26 states, plug-in hybrid cars are the most climate-friendly vehicles, the analysis found.

While the researchers project surging global demand for airline travel and various forms of freight transportation, there will be less reliance on oil, with conventional oil demand declining after 2035.

Population Could Be 11 Billion
By End of the Century, UN Report Says
A new
United Nations report
projects that the world population
could reach nearly 11 billion by 2100
, about 8 percent more than predicted just two years ago. The projected increase largely stems from the fact that the fertility rate in Africa has declined more slowly than expected, with demographers now forecasting that the number of people on the continent could nearly quadruple this century, from from about 1.1 billion today to about 4.2 billion. "The fertility decline in Africa has slowed down or stalled to a larger extent than we previously predicted, and as a result the African population will go up," said Adrian Raftery, a professor of statistics and sociology at the University of Washington, who helped develop the statistical method used in the report. The total world population passed 7 billion in 2011. According to the new report, 8 of the top 10 increases in national populations by 2100 will occur in Africa, led by Nigeria, where the number of people is expected to jump from 184 million to 914 million.

Dr. Brian Grady's Ratings
Brian Grady is a very knowledgable, kind, compassionate therapist. He helped me gain awareness of aspects of myself that I would never have been able to accomplish on my own. He always seemed to know exactly what I was feeling, and stayed with me through every emotion I felt. My experience with Brian was extremely positive. I will always be grateful for the insights that he helped me to gain.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2784396].votes_count ]]
Brian Grady is unique. I saw him because he was the only therapist I could find who had experience with chronic pain patients.Living with severe chronic pain for years, I was no longer of this world. Suicidal, deeply isolated, and constantly in pain, I had tried out several other therapist, but all just wanted to hold my hand. Brian listened. No touchy-feely attitude. Instead, he really wanted to understand what I was telling him. Never judgmental, never coming up with pet answers, never telling me what to do. For the first time I felt that my life was still worthy to be known. A most thoughtful man, he would at times be able to verbalize what I wanted to say but couldn't find the words for. It has been three years now that I moved away from Victoria, but I still find myself thinking of him regularly and gain strength from my memories. Simply, the best.

Bryan is terrific! ("ssshh- don't tell too many people - don't want him to get too busy to see me") - perceptive, caring & adept at helping me get to know myself better & to feel more joy & satisfaction. What I most appreciate is his careful listening & thoughtful responses. He has a vast repertoire of expertise it seems - no matter my mood, my issue - he easily, kindly & expertly guides me (through a variety of methods) to a growing self awareness and to a growing satisfaction & optimism about myself. My issues (at age 60) which brought me to him, were of a general depression "still haven't figured out who I want to be when I grow up" type - apathy, loneliness - wanting to feel engaged & useful. In a short 6 months, my outlook has improved dramatically. I suspect that he would be just as therapeutic to anyone of any age/circumstance.

Did not know if I was going to like him at first as he is a little bit of an odd duck but really warmed up to him. A lovely man who really cared for me from start to finish. Helped me put into words the things I wanted to say for years and sometimes understood how I felt better than I did. Just a great experience with him.

I assume Chase Winovich has plenty of confidence in his ability to beat out the competition or he wouldn't be very good. But in his position, you would want to ask yourself if it made sense to be the fourth LB in a class, unless the school in question was clearly your top choice. If he is unsure of where he wants to play, I would think the fact Booker has now pledged to ohio would cause Chase to think long and hard about whether he wants to be part of such a big LB class.

February 28, 2012THE GREEN ON HAWAII FIVE-0
"The hit CBS television show Hawaii Five-0 prominently used "Love & Affection" from The Green's Ways & Means album at the start of their episode on Monday, February 27. Unfortunately for the male portion of the band's fan base, the song was used while actor Scott Caan was in a pool, as opposed to his often-bikini-clad co-star Grace Park. This was the first official use of the band's music in a tv show, movie, or commercial, so we are excited to see them taking this step! You can see the episode (#50) here. The song comes on after the opening credits. " More info »

I've recently installed WooCommerce as part of a project for a client, and everything seems to be working fine, except for the "apply coupon", "Update Cart" and "Proceed to Checkout" buttons on the shopping cart page.
If I use the cart widget provided in the plugin I can skip to the actual checkout page and continue on to PayPal (and apply discount codes if I want), but if I try and do anything requiring those three buttons on the cart page, they just cause the page to reload, and have no further effect.
has anyone else encountered this issue?

editor's review
DustyNet is an easy to use piece of software developed to function as a basic web browser, providing you with the ability to explore various websites in a relaxing manner.
The program is quite simple, featuring only a few essential functions, namely 'Go', 'Home', 'Refresh', 'Add Tab', 'Remove Tab', 'Forward' and 'Back', none of which have hotkeys assigned, so you need to press the buttons in DustyNet's interface in order to make them work.
To access a web page, you need to input its URL address and click on the 'Go' button. In order to move downwards, you can only use your mouse scroll, as it does not respond to the keyboard arrows, nor does it have a scroll bar on the side, for you to use.
Additionally, DustyNet allows you to open a HTML file or save the current page to HTML; you can also print it for a more thorough analysis, or you can obtain a 'Print Preview'. From the context menu, you can view a page's source, save the background of a website or add a page to your Favorites. However, you do not have the possibility of setting bookmarks. DustyNet allows you to download files to your PC, saving them to a location you choose.
The application is a standalone browser which can easily be stored and run from from any removable media drive, so you can use it at work or at home, wherever you prefer, and does not go through an installation process. Consequently, it does not generate any registry entries on your PC and you can remove it from your system just by deleting the containing folder.
To summarize, DustyNet is a basic yet efficient Internet browser that offers you minimal features and functions, allowing you to explore the web with ease, from your desktop or a USB stick.

Today in History: Civil Rights Marchers Arrive in Montgomery
March 25, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
Forty-eight years ago today, thousands of civil rights marchers completed their historic journey from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.
There, standing on the steps of the State Capitol Building, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. responded to the question "How long will it take?" with a powerful message that resonates still today.
How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
During his second inaugural address, President Obama linked Selma, Stonewall and Seneca Falls as pivotal moments in American history, guided by the same presiding truth that all of us are created equal.
We keep these words in mind as we prepare to stand together tomorrow morning outside the Supreme Court in support of LGBT equality. Join us and learn more about how you can show support for marriage equality by visiting hrc.org/standformarriage.

On January 4 and 14, we blogged about the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012's (ATRA) increases in the pre-tax contribution that commuters may make towards van pools as well as transit passes.
Prior to the enactment of ATRA, the maximum pre-tax contribution for these modes of transportation was $125 for 2012 and 2013. ATRA increased this amount for 2012 to $240 and for 2013 to $245.
On January 16, the IRS issued Notice 2013-8, establishing special administrative procedures for employers to reimburse employees for taxes paid on transit expenses between $125 and $240 paid during 2012. The Notice also offers instructions on how to adjust Forms 941 and W-2. Employers are urged to consult with their payroll providers in order to determine how Notice 2013-8 applies to them.

Ohio State made plans for Gordon Gee sensitivity training
The Columbus Dispatch reported Wednesday that Ohio State officials had made plans for now-former president Gordon Gee to undergo sensitivity training in the wake of his infamous "damn Catholics" remarks -- but that Gee retired before those plans could be put into practice.
"The focused approach was something that both the board and I found important for me to do as president of the university," Gee told the Dispatch. "And before I retired as president, my team and I were working to make this happen."
According to the Dispatch:
Ohio State considered a number of proposals, including having Gee attend a number of two-to-three hour sessions, possibly off-campus in a place unfamiliar to him such as a Buddhist temple or women's center. Officials also considered having him read books and watch movies that would "increase his exposure and challenge this thinking," according to records requested by The Dispatch this summer and which Ohio State released this morning.
Gee retired July 1 of this year, within weeks of comments made to the Ohio State Athletics Council disparaging Catholics, Notre Dame, the SEC, Louisville and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema becoming public.
Gee denied that his retirement was related to the swift public backlash over the remarks or his long string of controversial statements.

These look great! My first try at making scones was a fail, but I may have to try again for these. I don't think they rise that much (I made mine kinda flat) so that may have been my downfall. As an 'English' person, I should know how to make scones to go with my tea! :)
wow I must give these scones a try! I have been wanting to make some scones forever.
I'm in desparate need for a scone recipe for this weekend and was thrilled to find these! Love your blog!!

Wanted a true BBQ experience (don't have it where we live). The place didn't look like much from outside but we were welcomed inside and the food exceeded expectation. Low on the ambience but high on the quality.
Read about Leon's on tripadvisor and had to visit.As folks have said before, the restaurant is very basic but the food isn't!A very friendly waitress help us order as I was with my wife and 2 kids so wasn't sure how much to order.We ordered 3 meats (which I can't believe can be for one person!) and 1 meat. Therefore we had brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage. Sides of coleslaw, spicy rice, potato salad (my favourite).The meats were stunning, full of flavour.All was eaten!Total bill inc tip $35....great value.Loads of people were in for takeouts.As everyone has said,if you eat in, don't expect The Ritz and you'll love the food.
We stopped in here for some dinner, only to find them closed. Leon saw us outside, reopened the restaurant and served my family of five a delicious dinner. The staff was very friendly, even though we were keeping them from home. We will try this place again.
Leon's place is the spot for great BBQ served by good folks. This is not a fancy restaurant. You'll sit in a small dining room in close proximity to the heating and A/C units. If you are interested in fantastic BBQ, this is a great choice. We celebrated our son's 18th B-day at Leon's. He really enjoyed the food and they even treated him with rum cake for dessert!
Do not miss this place!! If your looking for a fancy place with white tableclothes, look elsewhere, if you want the best dang BBQ you've ever ate this is for you!! We ate the 3 meat platter. We chose ribs, brisket, and chicken. The ribs were to die for!! The brisket was fantastic!! Everything was so good including the sides. We was eating our meal and discussing how wonderful it was and Leon came out and checked on us and the other customers!! He was so nice!! Wow, DON'T miss out!!! Tripadvisor rates it #3 best restuarant in a seafood town, that should tell you something!!

Windham police say drunk man decided to sleep it off in station parking lot
WINDHAM - A Massachusetts man faces drunken driving charges after Windham police found him asleep at the wheel in the station's parking lot early Tuesday morning.
Jonathan Sullivan, 31, of Tewksbury was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. after a police dispatcher noticed an idling car in the parking lot and discovered a sleeping Sullivan inside.
According to police officials, Sullivan was woken up and given a field sobriety test, which ultimately led to drunken driving charges.
Sullivan was taken to the Rockingham Country jail and is due in court on Jan. 28.

JJ could learn to let the characters have more time to talk and scenes breathe so the plot makes sense more easily. Star Trek works best when characters have time to interact with each other and talk.
I don't know. The more dialogue you present, the more gotcha moments that are there for the OCD crowd to tear apart.
In another conversation, I mentioned I thought that the movie might be better if we got more of Khan's background. But the downside is the more backstory you put out there presents the opportunity for more errors to be found.
Especially from this crowd.
I see what you are saying, but every extended conversation that Foster put into this book does nothing but further illuminate the plot, characters and strengthen both as well. So I think that JJ could learn to let some scenes breathe and help both character development and plot all because the scenes were stretched out a bit
But what do you cut?

already clocked in at over two hours. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but you would have to cut something if you started extending scenes.

Startling start to Michigan's season ends with Carr's retirement
Updated: November 20, 2007, 12:08 AM ETAssociated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Lloyd Carr alternately choked up and chuckled for nearly 40 minutes Monday, as he announced his 13th season as Michigan football coach will be his last.
"I wanted to be able to walk out of here knowing that to the very last minute, I did my job to the best of my ability," Carr said with watery eyes. "And I know I'll be able to do that."
The best of Carr's ability brought Michigan a national title and
five Big Ten championships. It also included an unsightly ...
