Telecom for Charity Continues Carbonfund.org Support and Every Day is Earth Day PledgeWritten by Linda
Social and charitable giving has become a standard practice among most successful businesses today, with a growing trend towards charitable contribution programs that distinguish a business and its service offering within its industry.
Carbonfund.org business partner Nice Touch Communications (NTC), based in New York City, was an early leader in charitable giving programs with its Telecom for Charity initiative. NTC is a sales and consulting firm that has been providing voice and data solutions for over 15 years, and they launched Telecom for Charity in 2008. NTC works with businesses, non-profits, charities and other organizations to provide top tier telecom services while also donating 5% of each customer's monthly telecom bill to their selected charity through the Telecom for Charity program.
Telecom for Charity (T4C) provides its business customers with the opportunity to support Carbonfund.org right from their monthly telecom bill. As a result, NTC clients and their employees are contributing back to society simply by going about their daily business of making phone calls and using the Internet. Every time a phone call is made, or a webpage is visited, Telecom for Charity customers are adding to their monthly support donations to Carbonfund.org. But the donations do not increase monthly costs; the donations come directly from Telecom for Charity and NTC, made on behalf of each business customer. To date, Telecom for Charity has donated almost $2600 to Carbonfund.org.
"We wholeheartedly believe in what Carbonfund.org is doing; and feel our program can be a great way to generate support with minimal effort for a long time to come," says Jay Frank, Program Director for Telecom for Charity.
For prospective customers and any CarbonFree® Business Partner interested in telecom services, Telecom for Charity offers its "Every Day is Earth Day" promotion. T4C will make a donation to mitigate 2.5 metric tonnes of carbon emissions to Carbonfund.org, supporting carbon reduction and clean air project innovation, with no obligation to the prospective customer, just for talking to T4C about their telecommunications environment and telecom needs.
Tradewinds Imports Joins Other LTD Online Stores as CarbonFree® PartnerWritten by Linda
Online shopping has exploded in recent years and has rapidly become the norm in many countries. According to a recent report by U.K.-based Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG), global business-to-consumer e-commerce sales will pass the $1.25 trillion mark by 2013, up 30% over total 2011 online retail shopping sales.
While studies have shown that online shopping may reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 35 percent compared to traditional retail shopping, many forward-thinking online retailers recognize that "green shoppers" expect even more in environmental sustainability.
New CarbonFree® Business Partner Tradewinds Imports, offering modern bathroom vanities and contemporary bathroom furnishings only through its online store, made the decision to neutralize its annual operational emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's global forestry projects. In addition, many of their vanities and bathroom furnishings are made from 100% reclaimed, recycled or sustainably forested hardwoods. Most of their vanities are hand-hewn, rather than machine-made, reducing carbon emissions during the manufacturing process.
"The global environment and the health of our forests is of the utmost importance to Tradewinds Imports, and we are immensely proud to announce our work with Carbonfund.org to help offset carbon emissions and repopulate the trees of our earth," states Todd Harmon, CEO of Tradewinds Imports. "Carbonfund.org is a fantastic organization and we are very excited to aid them in their carbon reduction efforts. Being good custodians of our forests is vital to our lives as well as our business, so we are delighted to help Carbonfund.org meet their reforestation and avoided de-forestation goals."
Carbonfund.org's online retail business partners help to set the bar higher for reducing carbon emissions related to the shopping experience, and Tradewinds Imports joins its sister online stores Bath Gems and Patio Productions as CarbonFree® Business Leaders.
Super Storm Sandy's Flooding Similar to Damage Expected from Rising Sea LevelsWritten by Jessie
Climate change is causing sea levels to rise, and this week's super storm Sandy gave us a preview of the devastation that this kind of flooding can cause. In fact, five years ago, a study named, "Nation Under Siege" constructed a series of 3-D maps using federal science agency and the United Nations' climate panel data that demonstrated what areas of the Atlantic coastline will look like as sea levels continue to rise. The maps from 2007 are eerily similar to the destruction we saw from super storm Sandy. The main difference being that the flooding from Sandy is beginning to recede and the rising waters from global warming are permanent.
There's no denying that sea levels are rising. Since 1900, the world's oceans rose an average of seven inches, according to data from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Those of us that live on the East Coast are seeing higher than average sea level rise. According to a report by the New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force, sea levels along New York's coast range between 9 and 11 inches over the last 100 years.
Super storm Sandy painfully demonstrated that coastal cities are woefully unprepared for flooding and other dangers from extreme weather, which is increasing due to climate change. According to Katharine Hayhoe, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas Tech University, there are three reasons why climate change made Sandy that much worse. The first is already higher sea levels made the storm surge more severe. The second is higher sea surface temperatures from global warming provided more energy for the super storm. The third is Sandy may turned towards the coast because of a record loss of sea ice in the Arctic this year.
Preparing at-risk communities for coming floods and coastal erosion includes determining the best way to heighten sea walls or whether to construct surge barriers to protect flood-prone areas. These preparations require study and then construction costs in the billions. However, the latest estimates from IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm, calculate that super storm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business. It sounds like the time is now to make those investments before further extreme weather from global warming costs more in the long run. We can couple those investments with our own efforts to lower our carbon footprints, which contributes to slowing down climate change.
Carbonfund.org Helps Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures Minimize Environmental ImpactWritten by Linda
The "Leave No Trace Behind" ethic is supported by the four major US federal land management agencies and by most eco-travel organizations trying to uphold high standards of environmentally-responsible tour operations. These principles can be followed in eco-tourism planning and observed onsite during tours, but eco-travel operations still generate other sources of harmful environmental emissions through transportation and onsite energy consumption during tour operations.
Carbonfund.org works with several eco-tour operators who take their environmental commitment beyond the tenets of "Leave No Trace Behind" by measuring, reducing where possible and mitigating all carbon emissions from their operations, and CarbonFree® partner Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures is a great example.
Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures maintains carbon neutral operations for the transportation and energy consumption they cannot eliminate by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon reduction projects around the world.
"It's so important to do what we can to leave the smallest impact possible here on planet earth. This is why we partner with the Carbonfund.org," states Taylor Phillips, Owner and Lead Guide for Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures.
Eco Tour Adventures was created with the idea of helping people connect with and gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world through wildlife observation and natural history interpretation. Their premise is that their tour guests develop a stronger bond with the natural world and will make more environmentally sound choices in their daily lives. TripAdvisor recently named Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures as one of ten great wildlife tours. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Eco Tour Adventures in their carbon emissions mitigation efforts, helping their organization serve as a positive role model for its tour guests and for other eco-tourism businesses.
US to Cut Carbon Emissions Despite Cap-and-Trade FailureWritten by Jessie
It was a sad day in 2010 when Congress failed to pass cap-and-trade legislation. However, a study by Dallas Burtraw, a senior fellow at Resources for the Future, released this month says that the failure had the unexpected consequence of helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions. There are two reasons why U.S. carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be lower by 2020: regulatory measures and market changes.
This is not to say that there is no need for cap-and-trade or a carbon tax. On the contrary, they are still necessary to achieve long-term cuts in emissions and to help establish worldwide support on the issue of climate change. The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) was an energy bill that would cap the amount of carbon dioxide power plants and manufacturers could emit, and set up a system to trade for carbon offsets.
When ACES failed in the Senate after receiving approval in the House of Representatives, a series of piecemeal measures were put into place. This hodgepodge of regulatory measures put the U.S. on track to meet a pledge set by President Obama of cutting climate change emissions by 17 percent by the end of this decade. The first of which this blog already covered is Groundbreaking Fuel Economy Standards. President Obama pushed for higher vehicle fuel efficiency standards with automakers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) when ACES died in the Senate. Also, the president is pressing for higher emission standards on coal-fired power plants.
Further regulatory measures in the wake of national cap-and-trade's demise include California and some Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states establishing their own cap-and-trade programs, and 29 states setting clean-energy requirements for utilities.
Market changes putting the U.S. on the path to lower carbon emissions by 2020 have been covered by this blog also. Low natural gas prices have been shifting the market away from dirtier coal as power plants' fuel of choice.
If ACES, also called the Waxman-Markey Bill, had passed the law would have barred the EPA from issuing carbon standards for power plants, refineries or factories. Furthermore, it may have very well headed off establishing the higher vehicle fuel efficiency standards. Lastly, under a national cap-and-trade program, any regional or state efforts would be offset by increased emissions elsewhere.
So the planet still needs further, faster and more wide ranging cuts in fossil-fuel use, but the U.S. is on the right path to curbing carbon emissions with the help of some regulatory measures and market changes.
Citizen Yogurt Bring Innovative Flavors and CarbonFree® Operations to RaleighWritten by Linda
Environmental conservation is a broad, global goal that will only be achieved by the aggregate of actions taken by small businesses and individuals in communities around the world. Carbonfund.org is engaged in large-scale initiatives, such as the development of our forestry projects in Brazil, but we continue to offer simple and affordable ways for any person, family or start-up business to make a difference in the fight against the negative impact of climate change.
Our personal emissions offsetting programs and CarbonFree® Business Partnerships help everyone to be part of the solution to climate change. New CarbonFree® Partner Citizen Yogurt is a great example of a local business putting its community and environmental mission into action. Citizen Yogurt in Raleigh, North Carolina is a 100% locally owned and operated family business, offering self-serve frozen yogurt with bold and unusual flavors and toppings, and a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Citizen Yogurt's community involvement includes sponsoring local swim teams, sports clubs and organizations in their neighborhood. They sponsor charitable donation nights where at least 10% of the night's revenue will go to community organizations. The yogurt shop features sustainable bamboo hardwood floors and their yogurt comes from rBST-free cows.
"Citizen Yogurt has chosen to take a different path to success. We have committed to running our business in the best way possible – including the impact on the environment and community. Carbonfund.org's transparency, not-for-profit status and strong partner list help make that goal easier to achieve," states Charles Park, Owner and President of Citizen Yogurt.
Citizen Yogurt joined the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program this year, neutralizing their annual operational emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's projects that reduce carbon emissions elsewhere through reforestation efforts, energy efficiency innovation and renewable energy technology development. Their CarbonFree® Business Partnership program underscores their commitment to sustainable operations and helps to create awareness in their local area about mitigating carbon emissions and encouraging customers to think about environmental commitments in their own lives.
We believe that Citizen Yogurt is leading by example as a great model for environmental commitment while serving up tasty froyo treats to the Raleigh community.
CarbonFree® Business Partner Hacienda Business Park and City of Pleasanton Host Green Scene FairWritten by Linda
One of the primary components of Carbonfund.org's mission is to provide climate change education and public outreach through our programs, and through our business partners and supporters. Two of Carbonfund.org's business partners recently teamed up in a great example of public outreach, hosting a zero-waste event in their community.
The City of Pleasanton, CA and Hacienda Business Park Owners Association hosted the 3rd annual Pleasanton Green Scene Fair on September 20th at Hacienda West. The event featured over 100 exhibitors providing information, demonstrations, raffles and samples of products related to health and nutrition, energy efficiency, commuting alternatives, water conservation, recycling, and locally-sourced foods. The event also included a special display of alternative fuel vehicles, a mini-farmers market and the "Off The Grid" gourmet food trucks selling natural and sustainable treats.
Hacienda Business Park Owners Association has been a CarbonFree® Business Partner since 2007, calculating and neutralizing annual operational emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean energy technology projects. And Hacienda's Owners Association helps to spread the word about Carbonfund.org's mission and projects, including the Million Tree Challenge, to the many businesses that occupy Hacienda's properties. They also recommended that the City of Pleasanton contact Carbonfund.org to evaluate the fair's carbon emissions and create a program to mitigate emissions associated with the day's events by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air projects.
The road to succeeding in the fight against climate change and to hasten our transition to a cleaner energy future is to act boldly and work together to engage businesses, communities and networks to join in local and global efforts. The Pleasanton Green Scene Fair is a great example of partnership among a local business leader in sustainable operations, their environmentally-aware municipality and Carbonfund.org to promote environmental conservation and sustainable business practices in their community.

The Greenfield Group Brings CarbonFree® Operations and Environmental Service to Hotel Key CardsWritten by Linda
Frequent travelers know that metal hotel keys are almost a thing of the past, widely replaced by flexible plastic hotel key cards. In some instances, these key card systems add energy efficiency benefits by auto-controlling the electricity usage in the room, switching off lights or turning off the electricity to the room altogether when the guest leaves the room.
One of our CarbonFree® Business Partners, The Greenfield Group, has developed unique ways to stand out in the competitive hotel key card marketing business. As a business committed to maintaining carbon neutral operations by supporting our global reforestation projects, the Greenfield Group has become a CarbonFree® supplier to its hotel clients. In order to operate as sustainably as possible, the Greenfield Group partnered with Carbonfund.org to analyze the carbon emissions created by their annual business operations, travel, and product shipping, then implemented a carbon emissions mitigation program by investing in reforestation and avoided deforestation projects around the world.
The Greenfield Group provides complimentary custom-designed hotel key cards featuring local business advertisements, and they further augment their services by supporting various environmental causes as an integral part of their business model. In addition to being a carbon neutral business, The Greenfield Group helps provide a free community bike program in the Ocean Beach community of San Diego and participates in local tree planting campaigns and trash cleanup efforts, and they developed a clever and innovative way to recycle old hotel keycards into guitar picks for students, teachers, and guitar players of all ages.
"At The Greenfield Group, it is our priority to align our practices with what is best for the environment," says Rob Greenfield, founder of The Greenfield Group. "In most businesses, including ours, it is very difficult to not have some undesirable impacts on the earth. That is why we have partnered with Carbonfund.org to offset the negative aspects of our business that we can't control."
Currently, The Greenfield Group donates over 5% of its total revenue to environmental projects, and their goal is to reach 10% total revenues to the environment by the end of 2012. This type of market leadership and environmental commitment is prevalent among Carbonfund.org's business partners, and we are pleased to partner with The Greenfield Group to help them achieve sustainable business operations.

Are We Suckers for 'Warped History?'
Barnes, Bill, Nation's Cities Weekly
In the policy debates about the current Great Recession--debates in which cities and towns have much at stake--references to the Great Depression and the New Deal play important roles.
Without some understanding of the 1930s, citizens and officials alike are susceptible to arguments from what Washington Post book reviewer Jonathan Yardley calls "warped history that gets us into trouble" (July 12, 2009.) To paraphrase Ben Franklin, if we don't know something, we'll fall for anything.
Christina Romer, chair of Obama's Council of Economic Advisors, knows something. She has a considerable record of scholarship about the economic policy of the Depression era. In a June guest column in "The Economist," she recounted the errors of 1937: "an unfortunate, and largely inadvertent, switch to contractionary fiscal and monetary policy." Efforts to reduce the federal deficit and to increase bank reserves plunged the economy downward. She urged that we not make the same mistakes again.
In this case, there seems to be wide agreement among scholars and analysts that these policy turnarounds in 1937 did put a damper on a budding recovery. This consensus doesn't tell us what to do, but it does provide perspective on our options regarding the gargantuan federal deficit and debt.
In other cases, the historical record is more complex and contested, and that's where an acquaintance with the evidence, the stories, and the controversies becomes useful.
Interested readers, in search of better understandings of the 1930s, have a large pool of books to draw from.
Amity Schlaes, for example, made a big splash with "The Forgotten Man" (Harper Perennial, 2008.) She declares that neither the "standard history nor the standard rebuttal" about the effects of the New Deal are correct. Yes, the stock market crashed, but the "deepest problem" was governmental intervention in the marketplace. Schlaes lets her stories--from the suicide of a despairing 13-year-old to the legal troubles of the Schechter brothers' poultry business--carry her argument.
"Politico," a Washington insider news source, reported on April 21st that the book was a best seller among House Republicans because it provides "red meat for a party hungry for empirical evidence that the Democrats' spending plans won't end the recession."
In sharp contrast, Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s classic, The Coming of the New Deal (Houghton Mifflin, 1958), is unabashedly positive about FDR's politics and policies. It focuses on 1933-34 and implementation of the policy reforms of the "first hundred days."
Robert Leighninger's "Long-Range Public Investment" (University of South Carolina Press, 2007) documents the physical legacies of the New Deal public building programs, relating the national policies to on-the-ground local outcomes that are often still in place. …

Yaktrax are THE BOMB!!!!!
posted 7 years ago
I bought a pair of Yaktrax Pros so I could run in snow and on ice, and discovered that they are excellent for walking my dogs in these conditions.
There are two models - Walkers and Pros. The main difference is that the Pros have a strap that goes over your shoe, goes through a loop, and then velcroes to itself. The Walkers don't have this, but I really doubt they would come off of your shoe either way, as they are a bit of a challenge to put on in the first place.
Today our sidewalks are covered (and I mean COVERED) in a layer of ice. I walked the dogs and did a 5-mile run, and did not slip once.
You can buy Yaktrax at some sporting goods stores or on their website - www.yaktrax.com. Your dog will appreciate it!
Pros: Allow you to walk your dogs on ice without slipping
Cons: A bit awkward to put on your shoes

These have been a great help for shovelling snow or walking around this winter. Not sure I can drive in them so I take them off. They aren't hard to put on your boots or shoes, but it is a little inconvenient. Otherwise, though, a great product.
Pros: Makes winter walking easier
Cons: Have to take off to drive

Koan PracticeThis report of Master Shuzan's words may be put to you, should you become a student of Zen, who will set about trying to understand it. Just imagine yourself in this situation for a minute or two. You will meditate upon it while sitting in formal meditation (zazen) or working, or doing anything in the normal day. You become the koan and the koan becomes you. The mind, to begin with, may work with it in the customary way - asking, asking, wondering: If I can't call it a staff and I can't say it isn't a staff, what can I call it? Is it a staff after all? Was it ever a staff in the past? What was it in essence? What kind of wood was it made fram? What am I? What am I made of? More »

You Are Both Zen and the WayI would like to tell you a story from China. You may be familiar with the name of Joshu, who was a priest long ago. One day a monk asked him, "I am just a beginner in the practice of Zen. Please teach me how to do zazen." Joshu said, "Have you eaten breakfast?" "Yes," replied the monk, "I've had plenty for breakfast." Joshu said, "That's fine. Then wash your bowl and put it away." At that point the monk, who had resolved to seek the Dharma was just beginning the practice of zazen, said "I understand. Now I realize the direction of practice." So he went off happily. More »

Finding Comfort in ImpermanenceThe Buddha pointed out that any idea of existence or persistence is faulty. But he also pointed out that any notion of nonexistence is also flawed. Many people think that the Buddhadharma teaches that all is impermanent, that everything in the universe is in constant change, being born and dying endlessly. But this is not exactly what the Buddha taught (nor is it borne out by actual experience). Rather, he saw that there isn't anything that comes or goes, that is born or dies. More »

What Happens If We Just Let Go?What happens if we just let go? Nothing happens except inner liberation. There is still food on the table. We are still brushing our teeth in the morning. Ultimately nothing can go wrong. It's all perfect as it is. If we are dying in the moment, it's still perfect as it is. All is being taken care of in the realm of perfection. That realm is what reality truly is. More »

World of Feelings, May 18th, 2009Feelings, or vendana, are extremely important in the Buddhist scheme of things. At one point the Buddha says that all things converge on feelings. He was not using the word in its contemporary sense, where it is more or less synonymous with emotions. Emotions come later in the Buddhist scheme. It is actually of great practical significance to realize this distinction. The term feelings—sometimes called sensations—refers to everything that comes in through the sense doors, including the mind. More »

Learn to Recycle, May 11, 2009Nature isn't dualistic. It isn't merely a collection of separate parts. It doesn't throw anything away. It recycles everything. And it doesn't operate out of a desire to improve things. While we fixate on the parts, nature acts out of the Whole. More »

Welcome Home
The Amon Carter staff were very excited to welcome a new acquisition of a major, full-length painting by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925). The work, titled Edwin Booth from 1890, is a portrait of the great 19th-century Shakespearean actor, Edwin Booth (1833–1893).
Come visit the museum and see this important piece of American art for yourself. Admission is always free.
Happy Birthday Thomas Eakins
Thomas Eakins was born on this day in 1844. Swimming is considered an American masterpiece and the pinnacle of his work as a realist painter and teacher. The painting was originally purchased from the artist's widow by the Friends of Art in Fort Worth, who gave it to the city's Art Association as a worthy addition to its public art gallery.
Thomas Eakins (18414-1916)
Swimming, 1885

Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, Purchased by the Friends of Art, Fort Worth Art Association, 1925; acquired by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, 1990, from the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth through grants and donations from the Amon G. Carter Foundation, the Sid W. Richardson Foundation, the Anne Burnett and Charles Tandy Foundation, Capital Cities/ABC Foundation, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The R. D. and Joan Dale Hubbard Foundation and the people of Fort Worth.
Behind the Scenes: Installing Hidden in Plain Site
Currently on view in the museum atrium is Hidden in Plain Site, a monumental art work that includes four canvases. Artist Sedrick Huckaby wanted to celebrate the artistic merit of his grandmother's quilts and explore the idea of quilts containing hidden messages. The process used by the artist to create this and other works was directly inspired by the collages of Romare Bearden, some of which are featured in the special exhibition Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey now on view through August 11, 2013.
Hanging a large-scale piece takes many hours of planning and collaboration. The project began four months before the works even came into the museum. Jim Belknap, Installation Manager, visited Huckaby's studio to look at the paintings and get an idea of what it would take to hang 300 pounds of wood, canvas, and paint on the walls of the museum. Not only was the safety of the art at stake, but the integrity of the delicate shell stone walls in the museums' atrium were an important issue during the installation.
A framework system was constructed on which the paintings were hung. (The design and build process took two months.) Framework and paintings would then hang on a pulley-and-cable system that was attached to a bronze channel already installed in the wall. The original channel proved to be too deep and new metal channel inserts had to be created to hold the bolts for the pulley/cable system.
Installation started on a Monday at 8 a.m. and was completed by 6 p.m. The work had to be completed before the museum reopened on Tuesday morning. This project required four professional art handlers, two registrars, two contractors, three lifts, and a step ladder from the Teaching Resource Center. The artist was on hand during the last hours of the installation and he didn't seem at all worried about his creation. The result is a wonderful marriage of art, careful planning, and precision engineering.
Hidden in Plain Site will be on view until October 31, 2013. Don't miss it!

Remsburg's sacrifices were made in support of an ally that tied for the most corrupt on Earth in Transparency International's latest rankings. A new report by the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, The New York Times said, warns against continuing to provide hundreds of millions of dollars a year in development support when "none of the 16 Afghan ministries could be counted on to keep the funds from being stolen or wasted."
It's hard to see the value of our mission there when our partners are so impervious to our best efforts. The Special Inspector General reported that we have gotten a pitiful return on a $200 million literacy program for the Afghan army. The exceedingly modest goal -- getting all of the Afghan soldiers to read at a first-grade level and half of them to read at a third-grade level -- turns out to be "unrealistic" and "unattainable."
Just inducing the soldiers to stick around is often impossible. Their current attrition rate is between 30 and 50 percent. The Afghan army "is actually far from ready for transition at the end of 2014," warned Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington last year. The national police, he concluded, are worse.
With the best of Afghan leaders, it would be hard to overcome all these deficits. Instead, Afghans as well as Americans are stuck with Karzai, who negotiated a deal to keep some U.S. forces in the country after this year but has refused to sign it. The longer he waits the harder it will be to make the arrangements so we can stay, laboring to turn failure into success.
Here's another option: We could acknowledge that there are some things even the world's sole superpower can't do, and fixing Afghanistan is one of them.

Thank you,
Hi Anya,
I'm sorry you're having trouble! Please try logging in again using the following format: The letter D, followed by the number 0 (zero), followed by the eight additional numbers in your account number. More help can be found on our Technical Assistance page.
If you are still having trouble, please contact us via email or call your library so we can troubleshoot further.
I love the new DPL webpage. I have a question, however. When first get on the webpage and click on my account, it takes me to the old account set up, not the new. Why is this and is there something I can do to fix it. Thanks.
Hi Kimberly, I'm glad you like the new site. We are linking to the old My Account while the catalog vendor works to re-implement some of the functionality that was lost. You can read more about it here. From the catalog itself you can choose to use the new or old My Account options from the links at the top.
I don't mind that it takes me back to the old account, but once there I can't then get back to the catalog or other new parts. For me, it requires getting out & reentering the site. I like the old account where it tells me what number on the hold list I am, and how many copies of the book there are. Please include that in the new site!
Quick update: Now when you click the exit button (upper right corner of the page) in the old My Account you will return to the Denver Public Library home page. From there you can quickly return to the catalog by typing your keywords into the search box at the top or by clicking the catalog link in the top navigation. Hope this helps!
Hi Nancy, thanks for your comment. We understand that customers are having to use a few workarounds with the new and old My Account functionality. We thank you for your patience while we work on this. Our ultimate goal is to incorporate all of the features customers want and need in one interface.
You can still view the catalog from a new window. Just hit File, and then New Window.

How aerobically fit can we be?
The average sedentary adult will reach a level of oxygen consumption close to 35 ml/kg/minute during a maximal treadmill test (where you're asked to walk as hard as you can). Translated, that means the person is consuming 35 milliliters of oxygen for every kilogram of body weight per minute. That'll get you through the day, but elite athletes can reach values as high as 90 ml/kg/minute! How do they do it? They may have good genes for one, but they also train hard. And when they do, their bodies adapt. The good news is that the bodies of mere mortals like the rest of us adapt to training too. Here's how.
What are the fitness benefits of aerobic exercise?
How our bodies adapt
Here's what happens inside your body when you do aerobic exercise regularly:
Burn, baby, burn
I mentioned that fat and carbohydrate are the fuels our muscles burn. The difference between them is that fat is high-test; it contains 9 calories per gram whereas carbohydrate has only 4, and so you get more energy and can go farther on a gram of fat than on a gram of carbohydrate. You want to burn fat because it's such an efficient fuel, plus it's nice to lose some of your excess fat! The catch is that you need more oxygen to burn fat because it's denser than carbohydrate. The good news is that your body gets better at using oxygen and burning fat when you do regular aerobic exercise; like I described, your heart pumps more blood, your muscles consume more oxygen, and you have more mitochondria.

Infantile Spasms/West's Syndrome:These are found in some epileptic infants less than a year old. The spasms may occur as single events or in clusters – each spasm lasting a very brief time (1-3 seconds). The infant often has an appearance of nodding – as if they are flexing and extending back and forth at the head or waist (often called Salaam convulsions/attacks). Infantile spasms occur when the infant is sleeping, drowsy, or upon wakening. The infant may give a cry out loud after the spasm which may often be mistaken for Colic.
There are two groups of infantile spasms: cryptogenic (no known cause) and symptomatic (known cause). For the cases of symptomatic infantile spasms, there are many different causes.
Infantile spasms are often observed in children with West's Syndrome. Note: although infantile spasms and West's syndrome are often used interchangeably, not all infantile spasms are related to West's syndrome. West's syndrome was first described in 1841 by an English physician who observed symptoms of infantile spasms in his own son. This is related to a more specific type of infantile spasms.
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome:Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome affects children between the ages of 1 to 8, with predominance in male children. It is characterized by frequent, often violent seizures. Some of the seizure types associated with this syndrome are: tonic, atonic, atypical absence, myoclonic, and status epilepticus. Status epilepticus has been observed in approximately 50% of children with Lennox-Gastaut.
Like West's Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome is divided into two types, cryptogenic and symptomatic. Cryptogenic cases (around 30%) usually appear to have no brain defect. Symptomatic cases make up the remaining 70% in which there appears to be some underlying brain damage.
The causes of this syndrome are varied. Possible causes include brain injury or malformation, brain infection, genetics, and many other unknown influences (especially in cryptogenic cases). Many children with Lennox-Gastaut experience developmental delay as well as many behavioural problems as a result.
To date, there is no known cure for Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. These children are often found to have a higher frequency of drug resistance than unaffected epileptic children. They are often placed on a polytherapy of drugs. The Ketogenic Diet is often recommended for children with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome as a way to control their epileptic seizures in addition to the prescribed medication.
Other Epilepsy Syndromes:
There are many more types of seizures (epileptic and non-epileptic) than are listed above. We have described the most common types.
The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) was formed in 1909. Their goal is:

resurrection of a wing chair
This is more of a home decor post than an outfit one. One of the many exciting things about moving into our new home has been that I have been able to bust my recently recovered wing chairs out of storage. This is one of them.
When I got these chairs, they were covered in some beige floral fabric that was just not my bag. I was looking for a blue and white fabric to recover them with and, I have to say, the choice was easy when I found this mesmerizing pattern. My general furniture-buying philosophy is to buy cheap and used, then update as needed. Sky Upholstery recovered these and I think they did a wonderful job for a very reasonable price. The fabric came from Calico Corners (which has a great online "lookbook," chock full of decorating ideas).

Can we talk about these photos now? Because I love them. Everything from your outfit to the recovered chairs is perfection!
LOVE the structure and fabric on those chairs, and what a skirt! Great job pulling off the socks with sandals look, a trend which, despite it's potential for cuteness, is often poorly executed. Yours make the cut! (errrr, my cut), haha. Love it!

text: Hello, I am confused how vectors that are coplanar will give a triple product of zero? Or is it the case that all 3 vectors must be coplanar for a triple product of zero, or is 2 sufficient? I.e. the vector being dotted with one of the vectors being crossed in the same plane, will this produce a zero scalar product?

Some of the simplest exercises can be tweaked just enough to make them more useful, and difficult.
Take the pushup. Boring, right?
Trainer Brenan Ghassemieh makes it more interesting with the Pushup Rotation, which goes like this:
Raise your body up and extend your arms into the usual pushup starting position.
Lower yourself down and push yourself back up.
At the crest, raise one hand above your head, extending your arm and opening up the torso. Look up toward the ceiling.
Lower back down again.
When you push up again, raise the other hand.
The "rotation" works the oblique muscles in the abdomen, It's a good example of a move that puts your body just off-balance enough to require it to work harder, but not so off-balance that it's unsafe.
"The opening up creates instability for the core to be stable, so once you go to the side bridge on one hand, then the obliques start to engage," Ghassemieh says, "and it's just bringing in the core on top of a chest and shoulder workout that we already have with a regular pushup.
"Since you have to balance, and since there's that risk of being able to fall, you have to engage that core to keep still and balance while you're staying in a perfectly straight line."

I did a bunch of my senior photos self-portrait style I <3 the props. But especially <3 the converse
I like the Converse Too But I keep saying that... I also like MINE too
Hehe So true- I bet the only person who likes them even MORE is me!! I like yours also lol they're like the guy version of mine.
lol yeah I like mine too they are super ultra fun to wear!
Hecks ya! I like the pic of us with our grad gowns and converse I may not be wearing mine for the actual grad ceremony though... :/
why not? I am!
I wanted to wear them with my red dress, but it turns out that looks completely stupid with the robe on top of it :/ So I'm not sure what to wear them with. And since you're not going to be there, I figured I might as well just wear my high heels so I don't look so pathetically short next to Luke & Nolan.
Yeah... Idk. I'm thinking I'll just wear something black under my robe for the ceremony and then switch into my red dress/converse for the reception... it'd save me from wearing uncomfortable shoes and a robe for the entire afternoon that way (not to mention the converse are hecksa cuter )

Up the Chain to Cover Hezekiah Jones at MilkBoy Coffee 5/10
Philly folk favorite Up the Chain will hit MilkBoy Coffee in Ardmore this Friday May 10th. This show is a unique one because in addition to an original set, UTC will perform the Hezekiah Jones album Have You Seen Our New Fort.
Hezekiah Jones is a group that's also native to Philadelphia, sporting songs influenced by elements of folk, country and pop, reminiscent of Bob Dylan or Wilco.
Up the Chain also creates songs of a variety of genres, from New Orleans-inspired tunes like "Here I Haven Meet", to the more pop-sensible "What We Were Before."
The Griz Band and Michael Baker will also be on the bill, adding to what promises to be a stylistically-diverse evening of music.
