Ambitious GHG Targets for California Drivers
On September 23, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced the adoption of ambitious, though aspirational, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets associated with the total miles traveled by California drivers. This is the latest step in the process of implementing Senate Bill 375, signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2008. The significant increase in stringency of the CARB target levels over recommendations made by Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) last May was surprising and although praised by some, has received significant criticism.
The law provides incentives, not mandates, for MPOs to use regional transportation strategies that encourage smart growth. Incentives for MPOs, which meet the GHG targets, can include easier access to federal funding and exemption from certain environmental review requirements. Although called 'precedent setting' by the media, it establishes growth policies considered similar to others that have already been implemented in California, and this law would not have a strong impact without stringent GHG reduction targets. SB 375 required CARB to set the targets, giving it the power to determine how seriously MPOs would have to invest in new development plans if they wish to take advantage of the incentives. Using 2005 as a baseline, the GHG emissions per capita reduction targets set by CARB for 2020 and 2035 were, respectively:
|2020 Target
|2035 Target
|San Diego Area
|Sacramento Region
|Bay Area Region
|Southern California
|San Joaquin Valley (to be revisited in 2012)
|Targets for the remaining six MPOs making up 5 percent of the population match or improve upon their current plans for 2020 and 2035
The targets CARB defined were more ambitious than what the largest MPOs recommended in May. For example, recommendations for the Bay Area were 5 percent per capita for 2020 and 5 percent for 2035 (the same to account for projected population growth, which would make higher targets more difficult to achieve in 2035). Critics complained that these targets were "hijacked" by environmentalists, as CARB did not provide an explanation for the increase.
While more stringent targets are a victory for champions of climate change policy, some Californians have claimed CARB's numbers as irresponsible because MPOs cannot afford to implement the plans needed to meet the targets. Given the state's budget deficit and lingering impacts from the global economic recession in 2008 and 2009, budget crises for transit agencies have resulted in decreased service and increased fares. To combat expected costs, CARB has promised to help seek out more state and federal funding, although CARB member and San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts is pessimistic about their chances. Business groups angrily predict that such funding will have to come from increased transportation taxes such as vehicle miles traveled fees, parking fees, and congestion pricing. Critics (Example 1, Example 2) also cite the prediction by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) of San Francisco that gas would reach a cost of $9.07 per gallon if there were a carbon or 'vehicle miles traveled' (VMT) tax.
CARB could address these concerns by clarifying the rationale for its decision and exposing half-truths propagated by some of its critics. For example, whether or not targets are too ambitious, SB 375 requires CARB to review them regularly and consider revisions based on economic and demographic conditions, as well as actual results achieved. The critics' references to the MTC's $9.07 per gallon gas are disingenuous warnings. The MTC's gas price forecast is actually for 2035, not the immediate future, and the MTC considers a carbon or VMT tax as just one of multiple policy options. Only when this tax is added to the MTC's unlikely forecast of gas prices (a linear extrapolation based on gas prices in 2008, the highest price ever, hitting $7.47 per gallon by 2035) does the cost of one gallon reach $9.07 in 2035. This forecast is significantly different from that of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which, as of 2010, expects a national average of $3.91 per gallon gas in 2035. In addition, sustainable development experts Calthorpe Associates' 'Vision California' study highlights attainable smart growth savings for Californians that would provide a significant boost to the economy. It quantifies savings, potentially achievable through SB 375, at $6,400 per year per household by 2050, among other significant opportunities.
While it is natural to be wary of the ambitious goals, California has previously defied naysayers and achieved ambitious policy goals at lower costs than initially predicted, as happened with Title 24 building energy efficiency standards in 1978. Furthermore, it is worth noting that SB 375 will remain intact no matter the fate of Proposition 23, which seeks to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act, Assembly Bill 32, in the upcoming elections. By providing incentive-based aggressive targets, MPOs now have greater reason to invest significantly in future transportation and land use plans. With such an investment, Californians can look forward to a more comfortable life with shorter commutes, reduced air pollution, and long-term economic growth.

Making the Case for Plug-in Electric Vehicles: Smart Shopping
This is the third post in a three-part series on PEVs. This one examines the reasons to consider purchasing a plug-in electric vehicle. Part 1 Part 2
In our previous posts, I described some of the benefits to national security and the environment with the use of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). This final post takes a look at what is often the most important issue to Americans: their wallets. PEVs are not cost-competitive with conventional vehicles in most situations yet, but there are some considerations that could be compelling for consumers to consider this winter when the first PEVs hit the market.
Making the Case for Plug-in Electric Vehicles: Breathing Easier
This is the second post in a three-part series that examines the reasons to consider purchasing a plug-in electric vehicle. Part 1 Part 3
Last week, I discussed why consuming oil is bad for U.S. national security. In this post, I'll look at another reason to consider a plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) – helping the environment. I've previously explored the effect PEVs will have on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is clear that PEVs have the potential to reduce GHG emissions significantly so long as society also reduces the carbon intensity of the electrical grid. But the environmental benefits of PEVs are not limited to climate change.
Figure 2: It's hard to see through all the smog, but that's the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC in 1988. (Source)
PEVs also benefit local air quality, which might matter a lot if you live in a city with poor air quality. Despite enormous strides in the U.S. to reduce air pollution, the EPA estimated in February of this year that nearly 127 million Americans live in areas where air quality concentrations are above the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to establish and periodically update and evaluate the NAAQS. While air quality has improved significantly since 1990, nearly half of Americans still face air quality-related health risks, including decreased lung function, aggravated asthma, and premature mortality.
Air pollution primarily comes from stationary fuel combustion, industrial processes, and vehicles. Transportation mainly contributes to two air pollution problems: ground-level ozone and particle pollution. Particle pollution or particulate matter (PM) consists of solid particles and liquid droplets in the air; coal fired power plants, as well as diesel vehicles including cars, trucks, and buses, are some of the sources of PM. Ground-level ozone, a serious air pollutant also known as smog, results when sunlight reacts with oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (which are components, for example, of vehicle exhaust).
The health effects of air pollution include decreased lung function, respiratory infection, and even increased risk of heart attacks and strokes under certain conditions. While the U.S. EPA and state governments are moving ahead with regulations that improve the air quality for Americans, most people (especially in urban areas) remain at risk of effects from excessive ozone and PM. The American Lung Association recommends the EPA reduce air pollution from vehicle tailpipes. One way consumers can help is by purchasing vehicles with lower tailpipe emissions such as PEVs.
The more miles Americans travel in passenger vehicles powered by electric motors, the more local air quality will improve according to a study completed by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). It is difficult to quantify air quality benefits from using PEVs since air pollution can come from multiple sources, including vehicle tailpipes as well as power plants. All-electric vehicles in cities will almost certainly improve local air quality since a mile traveled that is powered by electricity does not produce any vehicle emissions and the power plants that produce the electricity are often located away from city centers. For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, those improvements are tempered by the percentage of miles that rely on the gasoline or diesel-powered backup energy source rather than by the batteries. In fact, using PEVs can result in more local air pollution at the electricity generation source, especially if the source is a coal power plant. This potential problem underscores another reason (in addition to the goal of reducing GHG emissions) that we should work on reducing power plant pollution as we green the vehicle fleet.
PEVs will not end air pollution in the United States, but increasing the market penetration of these vehicles will help reduce air pollution in cities throughout the country. In the next post, I'll look into how the financial numbers might work out with a PEV for your next vehicle purchase.

Making the Case for Plug-in Electric Vehicles: National Security
This is the first post in a three-part series that examines the reasons to consider purchasing a plug-in electric vehicle. Part 2 Part 3
Though it is unlikely that the first generation of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) will be adopted by the masses, there is a compelling case for everyday consumers to take a look at these vehicles when they become available this winter. There is no silver bullet to solving climate change, but PEVs could play an important role as one of a broader set of solutions. As is the case for many climate solutions, the benefits from PEVs are more than environmental. In this three part series, I'll make the case for PEVs based on the gamut of issues that matter to Americans – national security, the environment, and their wallets.
Electric Vehicles and the Need for Public Policy
This post was written with Cynthia J. Burbank, National Planning and Environment Practice Leader at Parsons Brinckerhoff. It first appeared in the National Journal Transportation Experts Blog in response to the question: What should transportation departments do for electric cars?
The call for the government to act to promote plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), and all clean alternative fuels for that matter, is to correct the clear market failures that exist in today's petroleum-based transportation sector.
Historically, petroleum has been a key driver in the growth of the economy and development of nations worldwide. Gasoline and diesel fuel's impressive energy density, portability, and low production cost made it the fuel of choice for nearly a century. All the while there have been costs, although they haven't always been obvious. Petroleum's impact on climate change and U.S. energy security, and the risks of drilling, result in real and significant costs to society, and currently the price of petroleum does not include those externalities.
A Big Tent for Fuel Economy Standards
Through a recently signed Presidential Memorandum, Barack Obama is continuing the push to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector using its authorities under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). While the memorandum includes provisions for passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and support of an electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the most notable component involves vehicles that have eluded fuel efficiency regulators.
When it comes to GHG emissions and the transportation sector, the elephant in the room has been medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (freight trucks). The recently released memorandum will bring these vehicles under the regulatory umbrella and increase the likelihood that the transportation sector will contribute its share to economy-wide GHG emission reductions.
Plug-In Electric Vehicles Could Help the Grid: Prospects with Frequency Regulation
This is the third post in a three-part series that explores potential impacts of electric vehicles on the electrical grid. Part 1 and Part 2.
Previous posts in this series discussed how the demand for electricity from plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) would affect the grid as well as a potential problem related to clustering. This final post describes an opportunity for these vehicles to help increase the stability of the grid and hold down utility rates for consumers. As a reminder, a PEV is either an all-electric vehicle (EV) or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
Plug-In Electric Vehicles Could Help the Grid: Following the Crowd
This is the second post in a three-part series that explores some potential impacts of electric vehicles on the electrical grid. Part 1 and Part 3.
In our previous post in this series, we provided evidence that the existing electrical grid has enough spare capacity to accommodate plenty of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), if the right incentives are put in place. In this post, we will discuss a technical problem that has its roots in social behavior.
The transition from traditional powered vehicles to electric vehicles will not be without its hiccups. While the aggregate impact of PEVs on the grid is likely moderate, one concern is clustering, which can be thought of as the realization of the famous comic strip Keeping up with the Joneses. If people buy what their neighbors have, this could lead to a clustering of PEVs in certain neighborhoods which might place excessive demand on local areas of the grid.
Plug-In Electric Vehicles Could Help the Grid: The Capacity Question
This is the first post in a three-part series that explores some potential impacts of electric vehicles on the electrical grid. Part 2 and Part 3.
One of the main concerns over the electrification of vehicles is their impact on the electrical grid. Will they lead to power outages due to the increased demand in certain areas? Will a marked increase in electricity demand raise prices for consumers who don't own a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or an all-electric vehicle (EV)? In a series of blog posts, we'll take a look at a claim from some utilities that vehicle electrification could actually help improve the stability of the grid while keeping costs low through a process called frequency regulation.
In this post, we'll try to answer the capacity question. In order to determine whether the grid has the capacity to handle the influx of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs or PHEVs/EVs), utilities must estimate at what time of day these vehicles will demand power from the grid and how many of them the grid can charge at a time without causing power disruptions.
Regulating Petroleum
We recently released a report that describes the petroleum sector from production to consumption and examines options for including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from petroleum use under climate policy (e.g., GHG cap and trade). Currently, policymakers are considering multiple approaches for coverage of petroleum under comprehensive climate and energy legislation. In deciding how to address a sector of the economy or a particular fuel, policymakers must balance the goals of ensuring maximum coverage of emissions, minimizing administrative complexity and burden, avoiding creating perverse incentives or market distortions, and promoting emission reductions.
While the details of the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman climate and energy proposal in the Senate are yet to be released, press reports indicate that the trio is likely to adopt a new approach to covering transportation fuels—the so-called "linked fee." Unlike other proposals in the House or Senate, the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman approach would reportedly levy a "carbon fee" on transportation fuels with the fee amount linked to the carbon price from a GHG cap-and-trade program covering at least electric utilities. The forthcoming details of how the "carbon fee" is linked to the cap-and-trade market will determine whether such an approach can lead to significant emissions reductions from transportation and whether such an approach can yield the economy-wide emissions reductions needed to protect the climate.
Our new report includes information relevant to the linked-fee approach. For example, the report calculates that about 80 percent of combustion emissions from petroleum use are attributable to transportation fuels that are already subject to federal fuel excise taxes. Untaxed transportation fuels and large and small stationary combustion sources account for the remainder of emissions from petroleum use. This means that a linked fee could be implemented at least in part by covering the same entities that currently pay the fuel tax.
Another Senate proposal, the Cantwell-Collins Carbon Limits and Energy for America's Renewal (CLEAR) Act, creates an economy-wide cap-and-trade program—in this case just covering CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use. The CLEAR Act adopts an entirely "upstream" point of regulation that would make "first sellers" (i.e., coal mine and natural gas and oil well owners) responsible for surrendering cap-and-trade allowances for end-use emissions from the fossil fuels they sell. As the new Pew Center report explains, there are about a half million oil wells in the United States. Of the nearly 14,000 domestic well operators tracked by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the 10 largest (e.g., BP, Chevron) account for about half of total production, and the 670 largest account for about 90 percent of production.
The House-passed comprehensive climate and energy bill (H.R. 2454, the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) also included an economy-wide GHG cap-and-trade program. Waxman-Markey, however, would require petroleum refiners and importers to surrender cap-and-trade allowances equal to the GHG emissions from the final end use of their products (e.g., tailpipe emissions from vehicles). This point of regulation for petroleum would achieve complete coverage of combustion emissions and regulate a small number of entities and facilities (about 150 refiners with 67 different owners and a larger number of importers and points of entry). Of note, Waxman-Markey adopted different points of regulation for different emission sources--including large sources (e.g., coal and natural gas power plants and industrial sources) and local natural gas distribution companies (residential, commercial, and small industrial natural gas users).
With different proposals in play, our new report can inform policymakers and others considering options for reducing GHG emissions from petroleum use and help advance approaches that balance the goals of emissions coverage, administrative ease, and cost-effective and significant emission reductions.

Edgar Javier Pagan
The Breakdown is a new weekly column by Staff Writer Tara Murtha, who regularly reports on urban violence, gender issues, animal welfare and any other social-justice issues we can think of.
"Thank you for your words, Edgar. I was very proud to have been able to deliver them and I can't thank you enough for spending the time to write a letter to the President.
I delivered several letters, including one from poet CA Conrad:
The letters spoke to a range of issues and all were great. There was one from my mom. And one from me about 15 issues and I could have stretched it to about 100 issues that need attending.
Thank you, Edgar. I hope your letter makes a difference."
"Hey edgar.......thanks for the support.....I was the one who shot the vidro for the boys.....I could understand why you did not attend...it was sad but it had to be done......keep doing your thing and don't let nobody say you can't bro.....and for who ever did not see the video on youtube look up trapunit angel tearz.......hey edgar request me on fb...facebook.com/dice.trapunit"
Thank you for your poignant, heartfelt words! It was a pleasure being one of your teachers at Girard. Philadelphia needs more young people who will speak up like you did. This is the only way that change will begin to take place, and people will learn to do the right thing and let healing triumph over killing!
Thanks Again!
Ms. E."
"I work with kids 16 to 21 (for a non profit) and I also wish the school district would realize that the staff and the teachers arent all equal, but should be becuase they all affect the lives of the students they serve. I am a non teaching staff person, proud to say I have changed the pattern of ignorance and disrespect for adults. I think using my love of education and with my leadership as a proud father I have made myself an example. .. I promote what Edgar is saying and I remember that shooting in Juniata, I serve that community. At the Olney logan E3 Center, but we can not do it all we need more centers and many more people like me. Stay strong Edgar you gonna be a game changer."
"There are so many reasons to not be proud of being from Philly, Edgar's letter, for the first time in a long time has made me feel like a proud Philadelphian!"
"This is exactly the type of youth we need today. The inner city communities youth will never get better if things such as young kids getting murdered won't stop. I thank you so much for writing this letter, you as a young man has made a big difference."
"I appreciate Edgar's insights into the Philadelphia school system, however it is amazing that there is no accountability for parents and
community. Not once have the parents of these misguided children
been mentioned. It is not the school's responsibility to raise your
children for you. Nothing influences a child more than the people they
live with. BOTH parents, family, community, and finally school have to
participate. I believe there are children that go to the schools mentioned and still do well because of their caring, responsible, and strick parents.
I don't believe it's right or fair for children to grow up in violent areas. But
it's more than the school that should be held accountable. Thank you for reading."
"Maybe the parents should not have the children if they are unable to care for them!! It is not the presidents or Mayors responsibility to keep the children off the streets. As a tax payer, I suggest these parents take responsibility for their children and teach them right from wrong. This letter from the kid means nothing!"
"God Bless U Edgar, letter well done. I wish you the best in college, keep your head up & live your life to the fullest & make your dreams come true. Along the way try to encourge & help others see your point of view because it makes a big difference. People fail to realize in the heat of anger and hate anything can happen, when that feeling leaves U then U realize what did I do!!! It's too late, people have to learn how to respect each other & help each other. I live in DE, I have to be honest: I hate Philly, so many bad stories & crimes. We have them here too, trust me it's not a perfect world in the city of Wilmington, DE. REAL MEN, SHOULD TALK IT OUT ANY PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS. TO ME THEY ARE COWARDS BEHIND A GUN & THEN THERE GOES YOUR LIFE... DUMB FOOLS. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE & GOD BLESS........."
"Reading this brought tears to my eyes. Edgar is a courageious young man - hopefully ALL of our governemnt leaders - Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party - whatever will wake up and realize it is time to address our issues in this country instead or trying to score polictical brownie points. As Edgar suggests, starting with a good education can go a long way to reducing many problems. Start supporting the good teachers and help the ones who need it for the benefit of future generations"
"As a graduate of Girard Colleg's Class of 1997,, I am very proud of my fellow Girardian brother. Great job Edgar, keep up the good work! Please do not let anything or anyone stop you from speaking out against the violence that plagues our city. And to the readers, we as adults should encourage, not discourage our youth, that's part of the problem we are having with our future (youth) and violence."
"Great letter and so glad you were pulled up from the ashes. Problem is, we have children raising children out there. It is everywhere, not just in urban areas. To be a parent is to give up who you once were in order to raise that child. Partying and foolishness and irrresposibility have no place in the raising of a child. Being a parent is more important than being CEO of a company and much more difficult...you are growing up another human being and teaching them right from wrong from the very beginning. This is not for the faint-hearted. Don't have children if you just want to "see another you" or to make your partner, yourself or anyone else "happy" just to carry on the bloodlines...this is the most important choice you will ever make...and yes, if you are uneducated about what sex really is, than this is just going to keep perpetuating. They need to teach abstinence before marriage in the schools...we need to try and go back to what God intended."
"This was a great letter and the problem is solely not on the shoulders of the school system. As a teacher within the system, I can say that the school reflect the values of the community and homes in which our children attend. To get children to be educated is a monumental task and school funding while it is an issue is not the biggest one. I think that we have to reevaluate our values because to celebrate and create videos of youth who have perpetrated violence is not the answer. I have been the victim of violence by students and parents who rather than fight for better schools will fight the one who's trying to educate their children. I was saddened to read that one of my students was shot and killed and to see others incarcerated. I believe that my job is to give back to those in my community and I do a very good job. I also see those teachers who because of policy lose heart because we don't have the support of family and community. When Sept. comes though I'll be there again."
"the letter was written to the president and yes i believe that parents hold.most.of.the blame but the president cannot force the parents to be better caregivers what he can do is better the schools so sorry if u feel that the schools are not to blame but it has to start somewhere if the schools.become better.maybe the parents will be encouraged to better raise their.kids"
"The President leads, we do. We the people, are responsible. We gush at an internet meme pic where a man is giving up his resort flip flops to a poor homeless girl. We like pics of kittens. We feed mentally ill, homeless people. We can only do so much. Alone. Sometimes it is all we can do, to give a sandwich to a hungry man today and where he will get food tomorrow, is up to him and the next good samaritan. To help an angry man with a gun see the uselessness of this temporary power is very difficult to do until after serious consequences are wrought upon us. There are no easy answers, just many options and they should all be pursued by the rest of us. We cannot do much about anger and violence without the greater community. It means forging relationships with people we don't know and maybe even people we don't like. Our answers to these problems in society are all over the map and no one, not even the President can make us choose the one way. But this letter, it helps by doing something"
"We as a society are too far away from God...the majority of us are listening to deranged people from Hollywood and the media who are living in dream worlds they have created to escape reality....start reading your bible and going to church! It's about time that people stopped following so called "cool" people...and young people, you're gonna get old eventually just like the rest of us and are going to figure out the really important things in life are the peace that comes from knowing and following God...the world is SEARCHING and SEARCHING...they can't get it from new cars, new houses, new clothes, new vacations, new "hip" friends, drugs, alcohol or smoking...turn back to God and He will give you rest through knowing Jesus Christ!! Don't wait!"
"Obama and his entire admnistration is nothing short of a complete catastrophic failure...
I bet you $100 he did'nt even read the letter...
Well said, but it's falling on deaf ears...
everything this administration touches turns belly up into a giant mess...
"The thinking of this young man is a good example of the problem. Looking to the President to cure a local problem is antithetical to what made this country great. This attitude did not exist to any large degree until the mid-1960s and LBJ's "Great Society."
The problem starts with too many families in which the father is absent. This has been facilitated by the federal government -- women can have sex without worrying about whether the man will stick around if he impregnates her, and too many men don't feel the responsibility of supporting a child, since the government will take care of any children that result.
Next, there tends to be a reluctance to cooperate with "the man," and a belief that taking responsibility for your own actions, being productive, and obeying the law is "acting white."
Until individual attitudes change, including accepting God's laws for our lives, nothing will change, no matter what the federal government does"
"Dear Mr. President, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Governor, and concerned City Fathers...
Take them off free rein, democracy is not for everyone. Education will not save someone who murders over trifles, or change their "values".
Education like democracy is for those interested in doing the work."
"Sounds like a good argument for vouchers and the holding of Public Education Unions responsible for their inaction. As he learned, Those who live like a Thug.....Die like a thug."
"All families in Philly should have the opportunity to send their children to schools other than their government-zoned building. Edgar was blessed with the opportunity to attend a Christian, private school. His friends, cousin, and their murderers were denied any such option -- merely because of their families' income... God bless you, Edgar."
"What good is hundreds of thousands in education dollars when these kids are growing up with criminals? These kids grow up in what are essentially self created slums, the parents allowing thug kids and thieves to grow up next door or even in the same house with their children. It's doubtful there is anything that can be done until the people who live in these places let the criminals know they won't be tolerated. That requires more than education, law enforcement or money, it requires the people who live there to quit tolerating it. I think both the criminality and the lack of desire for education come from the same place, the war on poverty. By supporting people in poverty rather than allowing them to rise or fall on their merits we perpetuate poverty and even make it acceptable. As someone who grew up poor I can tell you that picking tomatoes in the hot sun all day for next to no money is a great motivator to find a way to better yourself, and your children."
"Edgar, your letter is beautiful and heartfelt. I am very sorry for the losses you have suffered. I think much credit goes to your Mom for seeing that the school you were in was not good for you and she got you into one that really taught you. I have been around 66 years, and I can tell you, kids grew up in one room school houses and made something of themselves. It was partly the school, which had strict rules and the kids followed them. Now the schools cannot discipline or teach morals at school. You are so lucky to have a Mom who cared about you and taught you to be a moral person. Many kids do not get this upbringing, and if they don't get it at school, they just never get it and never learn to respect life. Any school can be good, if they have the right administration, and teachers. Kids don't need much to learn. But they do need love and to feel safe, and to feel someone cares about them. Kids all want to learn and know about their world."
"Zoe Strauss is the angry, uneducated idiot that gave the 'finger' to Ronald Regan. I would not be proud to be associated with her. I would also not EMPLOY someone like this. google gay-activists-know-nothing-about-reagan-history."
"The whole point and soul of this letter delevered to the White House was tainted and marred by the disgusting actions of those who disrespected the WH with flipping off the pic of President Reagan. All that u acheived was destroyed by this stupid act. U want all ppl in this country to come aboard but doing this has sunk ur ship. EVERYONE is seeing this and its gonna be bad. Im sure u will delete my post right away."
"As long as idiots control our judicial system, criminals will have more rights than law abiding citizens and urban areas will be uninhabitable for most human beings."
"Think Zoe Strauss is a class act? Read this, look at the picture of her at the White House and think again.
"In response to what KS Jeffersonian stated, we (the minorities) would not feel that we had to rely on the President as much if the people of this country would have not condemned us in to these type of neighborhoods. The reason we do not obey the law or "act white,"if u rather, is because we feel that there is no other wait out. Yes change is supposed to be self motivated but (90 percent of minorities feel that they need some other type of support, an outside inspiration. I grew up without a father because he walked out on me when i was 11 months old. I was so close to falling into the drug life but i saw my mother and how much she struggled and THAT was my outside inspiration to better myself. So i would be able to help better my community, my hometown. Again, like u said we cannot rely on the president to do everything for us i agree with that completely but young kids like me, who grow up without fathers, who go to school and have to worry about getting stabbed need someone."
"I find it interesting that this boy's life was changed by attending a Catholic school, even though it was poor like the public school. His cousin died in a Catholic hospital, probably as a non paying patient, out of charity. These two institutions could very well close under President Obama due to the HHS Mandate. Rather than go against Catholic beliefs and doctrine, we will close charitable institutions if forced to provide under the HHS Mandate. We believe it our mission to provide for those in need, but not under his direction. I hope more people will realize that the country will suffer greatly if the Catholic Church closes its schools, hospitals and social services."
"Glad you made it bigger but the present should do 1 thing and thats give control of the schools back to the communities keep his hands out of it after that. Obama's word is worse than your friend of the mayor.
"There is a reason why church and state are seperated people (first amendment). Another thing he was a high school student so of course he is going to look at the situation from that standpoint. He can't write to Obama asking him to pass a law to make parents more involved in their child's life that is impossible so he is trying to help in another area the school systems."
"I am American of Latin descent and I have worked in the public school system and many of our hispanic/latino ESL students had this same attitude that I can also hear in your letter, an attitude of entitlement. Sorry, no one gets a free ride. It should alwaysbegin at home. Parents are not teaching their children even the social graces, teachers are to be supported but instead are threatened, read your bible-- it is chock full of answers a d blessings.... This president doesn't even love America --- he is just scrounging for any vote he can get--- but true Americans love America and will fight to keep it "America". Pray and ask God to hel p you understand. Th
Those communities need to gather in unity and form Neighborhood Crime Watch Groups and coop with law enforcement and pray people!! And stand up for your families. And Edgar please check yourself on that attitude of entitlement and instead be grateful/thankful for your blessings and focus on helping others."
"Thank you for your opinions, I'm very grateful for the education Ascension's and Girard's offered Edgar. And I'm very proud of the outlet my son is using to express his thoughts, very well said."
"Strong, well wriiten letter. As a fellow Hummer, I am proud to see that as much as Girard has changed since we left, some thing have stayed the same. Very proud. Good luck at Rutgers !!!!"
"My daughter is a low income wage earner, but because her son is black he does not qualify to go to the catholic schools here in Houston (not that we have not tried) an he is also an AB honor roll student since he was in kindergarden until now in the 8th grade. You should love this country."
"Violence is not a school system problem, it is a parenting problem. Kensington was a good neighborhood 20 years ago, before the hispanics started moving in and destroyed it. The same goes for Feltonville, Juniata and many neighborhoods in North Philly.
Edgar your a bright young man, but still very nieve."
"I am a former Hispanic Philly public school teacher fortunate to have started my teaching career in the NE where children in the 70's came from homes of concerned nuclear parents. Later I was transferred for "racial balance" to two North Philly schools, one Hispanic, the other Black. It was a nightmare. My resignation letter was ignored and the Philadelphia School District sent me back to my original school. This experience taught me that economically challenged minority one-parent households were the culprits. Parents didn't respect or support the teachers, therefore the overwhelmed teachers (mostly white female) in crowded classrooms thought that minority students were hopeless and gave up on them. Students had no male role models, mothers were young, uneducated, undisciplined absentee parents to "latch key" children who turned to street gangs as a substitute for security and role models. If this trend is not resolved, the cycle will continue on for generations."

Retailers run low on white MacBooks in hint of refresh
updated 12:15 pm EDT, Wed June 29, 2011
White MacBooks may join Air in July update
New investigations at online retailers have given possible clues of the white MacBook being replaced at the same time as the MacBook Air. Checks at Amazon, J&R, MacConnection, and other outlets show either few supplies or are out of stock altogether. AppleInsider heard that one major European reseller was entirely out of stock and hasn't been told when it would get new models.
The stockouts are coming just before Lion's release and hint that a new model might be coming with the new OS. Apple is known to be waiting on Lion to simplify the upgrade process. Apple is believed to be releasing new Airs in mid-July and could introduce both at the same time.
The white MacBook is one of Apple's oldest service computers and was last updated in May of last year, when it got a mild speed boost. As the one-time cheapest system, it was once intended as the most popular system but has been eclipsed by at least the MacBook Pro and possibly the MacBook Air as well.
Barring the system being discontinued outright, upgrade plans for the MacBook aren't known but would likely follow the path taken by the 13-inch MacBook Pro. If so, it will most likely move to a 2.3GHz Core i5, 4GB of RAM, and Intel's now much faster integrated video. A larger hard drive and Thunderbolt are probable upgrades.

Last week I pulled into Unity, Oregon after a 68 mile day heading west. The RV campground there looked kind of ratty but some local on a bike told me that the city park behind the fire station is a great place to camp and free. Hey, nice bathrooms, soft grass and a great view. How cool!
Didn't bother to put the rain fly on my tent as the weather was great, kicked back a couple of brews and hit the sack.
Yes, 11:30 that night the automatic sprinkler system kicked in. Frantically I placed rocks or bricks in front of the nozzles then went back to my semi wet down sleeping bag. I managed to get back to sleep but at 3:30 a different set of sprinklers popped off, up again re-locating my rocks and bricks. Bed was much wetter this time.
Damned if one hour later the first set blasted me again, another round with the rocks and I didn't sleep much after that one. It wasn't long I just got up and started packing up to get the heck out of there, just as I was getting ready to leave that second set of sprinklers hit me again.
Ok, this all wasn't too funny at the time but it will be one of those things I laugh about for years to come. I only did 10 miles that next day up into the forrest to a campground where I just dried out for the day.
Beware of city parks! And I hope you also can get a laugh out of this with me now that I'm home and comfy.

"We finally came out with some high intensity, and we kept that intensity tonight," said Southwood coach Terry Josting. "They played hard, played good defense, and they had a chance to have some fun. ...

|Well here it's after 12 AM on October 31st as I type this. Halloween. So things are winding doing and I'll soon stop posting more of these stories. For those who are getting annoyed with my posting them, I appologize and ask you to be patient with me. For anyone else, I hope you'll have enjoyed reading these. I'll post a few more before the clock strikes midnight again and then that's it for this year, probably for quite a while to come as I've not got very many sources. I'd hoped others would have had some to share, but I'm not going to complain as folks seem to have been patient with me to this point.
This one comes from Strange Tales of the Civil War. Mr Sanders tells us of the wife of Sergeant Charles Stevenson of Company G, 108th NY Infantry. The 108th NY Infantry had been mustered in in August 1862 when Sergeant Stevenson was 23. Their first action was at Antietam.
At some time on December 13th Mrs. Stevenson was working in her yard back home in Henrietta, NY. Being the late fall, it could well have been she was bringing firewood or shoveling a walk way. But as she worked she felt a presnce behind her. She turned to see who it was, feeling a warm breath on her cheek as she did so, and to her surprise saw her husband standing there. Surprised, and possibly delighted, she called out his name. Asking if it really was him. But before her eyes the image vanished. For Sergeant Stevenson had been among those to perish in front of the stonewall at Fredericksburg.
Checking the 108th NY's Roster (page 128 of this PDF http://dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/rosters/Infantry/108th_Infantry_CW_Roster.pdf), Sergeant Stevenson did indeed die at Fredericksburg. So was this a case of a last goodbye to one held so dear?

The Miami Heat traded up in the NBA Draft Thursday night to acquire UConn guard Shabazz Napier, sending P.J. Hairston with the 26th pick, their second-round pick, and a future second-rounder to Charlotte for Napier.
Along with equally pesky guard Ryan Boatright, Napier led the undermanned Huskies to a national championship this season, beating Kentucky's team of All-Americans handily in the final game while Julius Randle caught his breath. You can make the argument that, including the tournament, there was no better player in college basketball this season than Napier, who averaged 18 points and 4.9 assists his senior season.
Heat star LeBron James was so enamored with Napier during the tournament that he tweeted he preferred him to any other point guard in the nation.
No way u take another PG in the lottery before Napier.— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 8, 2014
On Thursday night, after Napier was picked, James again reiterated his love for Napier, a sentiment Napier appreciated later.
@KingJames: My favorite player in the draft! #Napier Appreciate that, looking forward to this new chapter! #HeatNation— Shabazz Napier (@ShabazzNapier) June 27, 2014
The Heat say they did not consult with James on the pick, to which I call BS.
The Heat did not consult with LeBron James on the Shabazz Napier pick, sources said. Though his thoughts were known.— Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) June 27, 2014
LeBron James got his point guard Thursday night. Will it change anything?

my gf and i are heading out to montreal for a week. just wondering if there are any decent bike shops that will rent bicycles, specifically fixies or tandems. never been to montreal before-- is it a decent bike city?
my gf and i are heading out to montreal for a week. just wondering if there are any decent bike shops that will rent bicycles, specifically fixies or tandems. never been to montreal before-- is it a decent bike city?
Montreal has the worst roads and traffic of any first world city I've ever been too! Incredibly aggro drivers, potholes the size of bathtubs (well, not quite, but close )
I hope you have a better experience than I did there, or that some local can advise you were to go. I must've seen all the wrong parts.
the bike shop i go have a fuji absolute tandem to rent.
i don't think that you'll find any fixie for rent around here... or any single speed.
but i might be wrong.
thanks for the link illoqique. we havent done much planning for site seeing so the guided bike tours might be kinda fun. hope i dont freak out the other tourists with my sponge like sweating ablilty...
would be nice to find a fixie rental, but oh well.
I couldn't disagree more. I thought Montreal was really easy to bike around and never felt in danger. It's probably because I live in New York City though, and you live in Vancouver . Really though, I didn't find the traffic or drivers agressive. Though there are some mean hills.Originally Posted by womble
There's a a cool bike shop whose name I don't recall around the corner from La Banquise, a poutine joint that serves up really good poutine (GET IT!! IT'S YUMMY) that forum member Food recommended to me for my weekend trip there about a month ago. It's on Rachel & Parc LaFontaine (see a city map). I know they run organized rides out of the shop, so they must rent bikes. (ps why don't you bring your own bikes? that's what i did...)
The link to my thread asking about cool stuff in Montreal is here . There are a lot of good suggestions for food, activity, and the like.
Also, turd just went to Montreal and is maybe still there. She might have some more good bike-centric suggestions for you.
Have fun. Quebec/Canada kicks ass. It's definitely one of my potential escape destinations to flee to once or before our neo-fascist empire falls. (yes, yes, I know about the neo-facism, if that's what you want to call it [which I don't necessarily do] of the Quebecois... whatevs.)
I don't live in Vancouver- I just travel a lot. I'm comparing Montreal to other big cities I've ridden in- New York, Sydney, London, Buenos Aires and Santiago. All of these places have been surprisingly good for riding.Originally Posted by EnLaCalle
The only places I've tried riding in that were worse than Montreal were Ghana and Hong Kong, and those places have good excuses.
But yeah, Vancouver is an absolute dream to ride in. I love this place

The province of Quebec is well known internationally for its bad drivers. The drivers there are really absurd. Lanes are a joke. Many people just honk and drive through reds. It's a gong show. Crazy. There are bike lanes throughout the city, but the drivers are notorious for ignoring them, and cutting off cyclists. It's stupid.
http://www.legrandcycle.com/ is a great shop, near the one mentioned above. They are fixed friendly, rent bikes (not sure about fixed gear), and have a wicked coffee-shop inside the store.
http://www.cyclerobert.com/ this place sponsors the national track team, one of who's members lives in Montreal. I don't know if they rent, and the site is only in french (although the staff undoubtedly speaks english), but they must be fixed friendly.
le grand cycle is probably your best bet for a fixed firendly shop. they are the shop that most messers deal with, but i don't think that they have a track item in their store. although fixed friendly shops are kind of a misnomer. there are about 25 track bikes in this city that are ridden on the streets. 15 of which belong to messers. most shops have at most a pair of hubs, and the few (2) shops that do carry track stuff, carry mostly stuff that is currently used on the drome- carbon, bonded, tubulars, that kind of gear. cyclo-sprint in chambly is that kind of shop.
no shops rent fixed gears. in fact, I've never heard of a shop that does. even in williamsburg. i'd recommend brining your bikes if possible. if not, rent bikes from JR bicycletterie on rachel and esplanade. about 20 ish a day. he co-ordinates bicycle donation projects to south america, and is a real nice guy.
have fun
thanks for all the responses! im in montreal now, on st. denis at some internet coffee shop. this town is great, been here since thursday. mostly walked around for the first few days, finally found a bike shop yesterday by la banquise and rented a tandem. best thing weve done so far, renting the tandem. weve covered so much more in one day than in the first couple days. going to hit some museums today. biking culture is great here, bikes everywhere... ive only seen two fixies. interesting to see what a city is like with a developed bike culture. roads arent bad at all, riding in traffic is nothing, drivers tend to be more cyclist conscious than in the states. well, im off...

The Lazarus Pill Brings Magic
It was by mistake that this magic working of a very well knows sleeping tablet was discovered!
Sienie Viljoen never could have ever though that when she gave this tablet, to her comatose son thirteen years ago, that it might initiated the beginning of a miracle tablet. The sleeping tablet, Stilnox, have been used for years for insomnia. Sienie was stunned when her son woke up last month, after using the tablet for five years.d
A local News Paper reported about this incident last month, where upon Nomfundo Nqinana insisted that her husband's sceptical doctors give him a tablet a day. Five days later, he woke up asking for his son.
That that the pill not only worked for people with brain injuries, but also people suffers from other brain conditions too. Dr Cival Mills, who suffers from locked-in syndrome after a crippling brain stem stroke he suffered following a car accident. He was started on ½ tablets Stilnox and after 40minute, he was speaking for the first time in 40 years!
It seems like the tablet can repair damaged and dormant brain cells. Although there have been many more reordered cases where this tablet has done magic healing, the researchers warns that there is still research to be done on the tablet.

Amazing Whales!
by Sarah L. Thompson
Search Amazon for other books by or about Sarah L. Thompson.
This book is part of the HarperCollins An I Can Read Book series. The language is simple enough for beginning readers to read by themselves.
This book looks at whales, describes whales, and how they live, swim, and eat. It looks at dangers whales face and how humans are working at protecting whales. Colorful photographs make the experience fun and exciting for kids learning to read and learning about whales.
Some of the amazing whale facts you'll learn include "A killer whale is about as long as a fire truck," "A blue whale is as long as a basketball court," and "Baleen is made of the same stuff as your fingernails." Well, OK, the book doesn't specify the fire truck for size comparision, but that's pretty big nonetheless.
The Wildlife Conservation Society contributed to the contents in this book. As such the book contains features about whale conservation.
Teachers will find this a useful book in the classroom. My son enjoyed reading all about whales in this book. The book has activities that aid in learning about these majestic creatures of the sea.
