Benefits of Clean Air and Water Dwarf Costs 10 to 1
The Office of Management and Budget is nerd heaven: a bunch of people getting their professional kicks from analyzing federal regulation. This bean counting may sound painfully lacking in glamour, but it's incredibly important. OMB's annual report to Congress on the benefits and costs of all major rules adopted by most federal agencies over the past 10 years shows how efficiently, or inefficiently, those agencies are functioning. And the conclusion is clear: the Environmental Protection Agency comes out on top.
These numbers are based on the 2013 draft report, so they could still change. But the pattern is the same as in any of their reports from the past few years, including the final 2012 report that came out last week.
None of this is to diminish the contributions of the other government agencies, but if you are a do-gooder trying to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people, EPA is the place to be.
One of the driving forces behind this rule is the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, an extraordinary achievement for clean air and public health. Because of these standards, all coal fired power plants will for the first time be required to control their emissions of toxic air pollutants — including mercury, arsenic and acid gases. Forty years after the Clean Air Act signed by Richard Nixon, twenty after the landmark Amendments signed by George H.W. Bush, we are finally getting around to regulating mercury from burning coal.
The analysis of the benefits of reducing mercury pollution demonstrates just how much we underestimate the benefits of environmental protections. For example, when it comes to reducing mercury pollution, the benefits are based on EPA's estimates of increased wages of (higher IQ) children born to families that catch freshwater fish for their own consumption.
Think about that one for a second. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin in all its forms, but the EPA estimates do not include mercury that is inhaled or that enters our bodies through other means. And there is nothing in the estimates about the fact that mercury harms the brains of our kids, regardless of whether it influences their future earning potential.
In a sense, this analysis is the moral equivalent of arguing that we should have child labor laws because keeping kids in school makes for more productive workers later on. This kind of reasoning, alas, is why economists are often called names unfit for a family-friendly blog. It's the most reductionist argument you can find in favor of reducing mercury. (In fact, the bulk of the benefits that were quantified by EPA are due to inextricably connected benefits in reducing deleterious particulate pollution.)
Costs, by the way, are relatively well estimated, since businesses are all-too willing to share them. So yes, there are costs—but they are small relative to benefits. And costs, as opposed to benefits, are typically overestimates. They are largely based on current available control technologies. They don't consider that industry may invent an entirely new and unexpected way of complying with regulations at lower cost. This happens over and over again, and it comes with a name: entrepreneurial ingenuity. Works every time.
These omissions and shortcomings on either side of the equation only stand to bolster the most important claim: benefits outweigh costs more than 10 to 1 for all major EPA regulations adopted in the past decade.
For every dollar invested, Americans get $10 worth of benefits. I'll take that ratio any day.

text: This is actually a really nice dilemma. I won't spoil who deserts the Howlers, but...he's got a really good reason. And he's got a reason not to tell the others his reason, until it's so late they can't believe him anymore. If there's any complaint about this issue, it's that it's a few pages too short. Furys escape from imprisonment is very rushed, as is the court martial of the traitor. The resolution has to wait until the very last row of panels, and the upper caption box of the last panel admits, there's no place left to show all of the end.

How many times has your firm rebranded? Maybe a downturn in business or the arrival of a new marketer has signaled to someone that it's time for a new visual identity: new colors, a new logo, a new tagline. If you've been around for awhile, you have probably travelled this path more than once.
When I speak about branding, I often begin by presenting a small box from Tiffany & Co. All of the ladies in the audience lean in, while all of the guys (but one, generally) look perplexed. Several women will ask if the box is for them, and someone almost immediately asks what's inside. I ask those gathered how they know it is a Tiffany box I'm holding and why they are so interested in its contents. They identify the box immediately by its distinctive robin's egg blue color and white ribbon. They want to know what's inside because they're confident that it's going to be something exquisite.
I use this exercise to demonstrate the two dimensions of brand. The first is visual: in this case, a robin's egg blue box tied with a white ribbon. The second is experiential: a Tiffany & Co. box holds the promise of an extraordinary gift. What does this have to do with professional services?
Professional services firms have their boxes too. A solid visual identity makes it easy for prospects to recognize your firm when your messages cross their desks. But the experiential dimension of your firm is where the real money is! Your firm's culture, expertise, results, relationships and your great ideas should do the talking in the same way the contents of Tiffany & Co. boxes talk for that company.
Branding is important. Marketers love branding, and I have never met an agency that didn't think a brand needed a "refresh." It is fun, creative and visible. But, branding is also all-consuming and very expensive. In addition to out-of-pocket costs, the opportunity costs are huge. Rebranding efforts consume partner time, leadership team time, marketing time, training time, marketing resources and marketing budget.
Firms often get hung up on colors and logos and waste valuable resources trying to get the brand "right"—usually to its own satisfaction. One partner says, "I think the color should be blue." Another says, "It should be orange." One says, "The logo looks like (fill in the blank's) logo." And another says, "It is not edgy enough." Back and forth, the debate rages. There are no right answers; it's all opinion and emotion. In the end, most firms' brands are the weakened result of compromises and watered-down choices.
There is a time and place for the level of effort and commitment it takes to rebrand a firm. It is called a strategic inflection point: a new strategic direction, an acquisition, a new mix of services, the addition of new markets. This occurs when the change to your firm's direction is relevant to the client.
Yes, it is important that your firm establish your "box" (a logo, company colors, etc.). Tiffany has used the same little box since 1878! But it's what's inside that really counts.
Pick a brand and stick with it. And, the next time you are inclined to rebrand your firm, ask yourself why it is relevant to the client and what the opportunity costs are.
Answering these questions will make your decision to rebrand a lot easier and ensure that you keep your firm focused on your clients.
Be prudent.

Ram, Versa, Aveo, Elantra Touring and Kizashi Head the List
August is drawing to a close, but there is still time to take advantage of the rebates and incentives being offered by new vehicle manufacturers on an appealing mix of different models. This week's list of deals starts out with the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 full-size pickup, which is being offered with the choice of either zero percent financing plus $2,000 cash back, or $5,750 total cash back. The Ram is followed by the Nissan Versa compact sedan, which combines 0.0% purchase financing with $500 in cash back, and the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo compact car which offers 3.9% financing or a $1,500 factory cash back rebate. The 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring compact wagon features a 1.9% finance rate or an available $500 cash back bonus, while the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi mid-size sedan rounds out our weekly incentives roundup with an offer of zero percent financing or $1,000 in cash back.
September is just around the corner, which means Labor Day Sales are not far behind. Make sure to check back with us in a week's time so that you can keep informed regarding the best rebates and incentives offered in the first half of the fall season.
2011 Dodge Ram 1500
The 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 is a full-size pickup that comes in Regular, Quad and Crew cab editions. The latter two body styles seat up to three additional occupants behind the front row of accommodations, and the Dodge Ram 1500 Quad and Crew trucks also offer an additional set of rear doors to ease access to the passenger compartment.
The 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 starts out with a 3.7-liter V-6 engine under the hood that generates 215 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. Fuel mileage for this motor checks in at 14 miles per gallon in city driving and 20 miles per gallon on the highway. Next up is a 4.7-liter V-8 that boosts output to 310 horses and 330 lb-ft of torque while maintaining almost identical fuel economy. The top of the line engine in the Ram portfolio is a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 that provides 390 horsepower and 407 lb-ft of torque, and unexpectedly this mill's EPA rating matches that of the much less powerful V-6. The entry-level engine features a four-speed automatic transmission, while the eight-cylinder options both come with a five-speed auto and the option of four-wheel drive.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest plus $2,000 cash back or $5,750 total cash back on the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 available until 09/06/2011.
2011 Nissan Versa Sedan
The 2011 Nissan Versa sedan is the least expensive vehicle in the Japanese automaker's lineup. The Nissan Versa sedan offers basic subcompact transportation, providing only a few features in its most affordable trim (intermittent wipers, tilt steering and no factory stereo head unit). The vehicle can be upgraded to include a longer list of equipment, including air conditioning, power windows and door locks and cruise control.
The 2011 Nissan Versa sedan is initially outfitted with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder power plant that is good for 107 horses and 111 lb-ft of torque. Matched with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the 1.6-liter motor turns in fuel mileage numbers of 26 miles per gallon around town and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. A more robust 1.8-liter unit is also available, and this four-cylinder option provides 122 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque while dropping fuel mileage only slightly to 26 miles per gallon city and 31 miles per gallon highway. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a four-speed automatic can also be ordered with the Versa sedan.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest plus $500 cash back on the 2011 Nissan Versa sedan available until 08/31/2011.
2011 Chevrolet Aveo
The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo subcompact can be had in both sedan and hatchback editions. The Chevrolet Aveo's main appeal stems from its frugal fuel economy and its attractive pricing. The hatchback version of the Aveo is also fairly practical when compared to some of its subcompact competitors, offering 37 cubic feet of total cargo space with the rear seat folded forward.
The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo is equipped exclusively with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that provides 108 horsepower and 104 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices for the Aveo include a five-speed manual (standard) and a four-speed automatic (optional). Fuel mileage for the Chevrolet Aveo shows as 27 miles per gallon in the city and 35 miles per gallon on the highway.
There is a financing incentive of 3.9% interest or $1,500 cash back on the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo sedan available until 09/06/2011.
2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring
The 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring offers a little bit more than a traditional compact hatchback when it comes to cargo space, making it a true wagon option. With the rear seat up, the five-seat Hyundai Elantra Touring provides 24 cubic feet of storage. With that same seat folded forward, the Touring's vault expands to a crossover-challenging 65 cubic feet of total space.
The 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring is motivated by a four-cylinder engine that squeezes 138 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0-liters of displacement. Five-speed manual and four-speed automatic gearbox options are the order of the day for the Hyundai, and the vehicle also provides respectable fuel mileage of 23 miles per gallon in stop and go driving and 31 miles per gallon on the highway.
There is a financing incentive of 1.9% interest or $500 cash back on the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring available until 08/31/2011.
2011 Suzuki Kizashi
The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi is a surprise mid-size sedan contender from an automaker not well known for venturing outside the compact segment. The Suzuki Kizashi combines a sporty chassis and a very affordable price with attractive available features such as heated leather seats, dual automatic climate control, a sunroof and steering wheel-mounted shift paddles for automatic editions of the car.
The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi comes with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as standard equipment. This motor produces either 185 horsepower (when matched with a six-speed manual transmission) or 180 ponies (when paired with the Kizashi's optional continuously-variable automatic transmission). Torque is 170 lb-ft feet all around, and all-wheel drive can also be added to the mix. Fuel economy for the most efficient Kizashi trim level is rated at 21 miles per gallon in city driving and 31 miles per gallon on the highway.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $1,000 cash back on the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi sedan available until 08/31/2011.

There's something extra special about playing music when you have an instrument that perfectly represents your own tastes and style. An easy way to do this is by personalizing your instrument with various accessories, or upgrading it with new parts. Within this selection of options, you'll find a massive range of accessories to give your fretted instrument a distinctive flair, and make your overall playing experience even more enjoyable.
Whether you're a heavy metal shredder who's searching for an ideal set of humbuckers, a funk bassist who needs a new replacement neck, or an amateur guitarist who simply wants a cool-looking strap, this catalog of fretted instrument accessories has something for everyone. In fact, well-known companies such as Dunlop, Fender, and Kyser are all here, and each take great pride ensuring that everything they design has been crafted with your musical desires in mind.
So what kind of customizations are you thinking of? If a new pickguard is on your mind, check out EMG's DG20 David Gilmour Pre-Wired pickguard/pickup set. Featuring three SA single-coil pickups, wired with an EXG guitar expander, an SPC presence control and master volume, this is the same EMG system that David used with Pink Floyd on his main red Strat. By increasing the bass and treble while reducing the mids, this pickguard/pickup set is incredible for chord definition at higher volumes. For acoustic guitarists, this section also offers an assortment of humidifiers for fretted instruments, and the Oasis OH-1 original guitar humidifier is a popular choice. Constructed from a specifically designed fabric that lets water vapor pass right through it, Oasis humidifiers fit right between the strings of your instrument, and once positioned in the soundhole, the stabilizing bar lies across your strings to ensure that the weight distribution is even.
From slides, capos and strap locks to tremolo bridges, picks and pickguards, there's no end in sight to the amount of ways you can customize and personalize your fretted instrument. It's not only a fulfilling hobby to get involved in, but it's also a sure-fire way to make you stand out from the pack and make your talents fully noticed

Blackjack Upgrades by PantzarWatch
©2013-2016 Pantzar
I absolutely love how you made Blackjack here! It's both beautiful and badass! The only nit pick I have is that she doesn't have her collar, but, muh, whatever. If I could fav this twice I so would, lol
Yeah.. I'm kinda bashing myself for not adding the collar to, it was there in the sketch but then I must have forgotten about it.
erm... Is it wrong-Nvm I don't want to stir the pot especially with all those false bronies that DON'T Love AND TOLERATE -.-
Huh? Wrong to what?
nothing ^_^ lets just leave it to the point that I find this pony attractive, and no I do not see it as wrong in anyway that I see her like that afterall she IS sentient at least within her universe
This is fucking insane mate!
Yes, yes she is.
Yeah. XD
Hey which chapter is it she get's the robot body, legs?
I have just made it to chapter 10 and are eger to get to the moment.

Oh you have ways to go, its around 30
Uh. -.-
CrazedRambling have only made it to chapter 19 in making it into a audiobook.

CrazedRambling have only made it to chapter 19 in making it into a audiobook.
(I don't have time to read it, so im listening to it )
There are others who also does audiobooks, can't say Ive found someone with the quality of Crazed though.
AWESOME! All we need now is for somepony to create internal schematics of her bionic systems, and maybe send her to Equestria in the past via a Chronado (time vortex) And she becomes the Termi-NEIGH-tor!
hmm looks a little like my oc :/ because of the hair and then: D
wonder how sex with Glory is going to work with the spine plates. BJ would destroy the bed
eyaaaaaaah hella awesome!
By far one of the best cyBlackjacks I have seen ever! Being the most up-to-date (with the Enclave Power Armor upgrade) helps, but it really captures the feel of how much she has been replaced, especially with how you made the armor close colors with the background. We can picture what is left of her normal body (at least, from the outside) and see exactly how much "Blackjack" there is left by blocking out the lower body/extremities. Really, fantastic job! If I had a laptop, this would be my wallpaper!
There really isnt much Blackjack left. When you think about it, almost all of her internal organs have been replaced too, her face reconstructed. (I mean she can even take .50 cal bulllets to it now). Shes more a sofisticated brainbot then anything...
But still, she doesn't have programmed THINKING. Her thoughts are her own, and that is what makes the Goddesses intrusion on it the most devastating: it's the only thing of her own that she really has left.
Mm.. The goddess, and of course whoever has been recording everything she has done.
Yeah, I was going to mention that, but they aren't CONTROLLING her, so those thoughts are still her thoughts, just someone is watching them. But you're right, it is a further violation of one of the only things left to her.
ok, since this seems so spoilerific, how far into the story is this? i just got around to start reading PH yesterday
From what I remember, first few chapters are meh, but they get much better after the events of chapter 5.
Sorry, I made that post so long ago, and I stopped reading it when I got to the most up to date. I'm waiting for it to be finished then I'll read it all the way through. She slowly gets more and more integrated throughout the story, with major adaptions at certain points. I think this is in the 30's or 40's for chapters.
long ass chapters, heavy awesomeness is halfway through the story.....i predict many sleepless nights ahead for me. might as well start now
Blackjack:I never asked for this..
This is actually how i pictured it in my head, a bit less bulky and sleek though, but still a fairly good interpretation of her. Very well done!
YESSSSSS moar blackjack art!
looks bucking awesome by the way!
looks bucking awesome by the way!
So is she missing her legs entirely?
Yeah, all four of them, aswell as reinforced sides, spine, skull.. Cybernetic eyes. All the good stuff.
Hot dayum, that's awesome!
I've noticed that a feature present in some of your work is increased definition of the eyebrow and upper eyelid that many artists don't use. I find it gives depth to the expression, and I find it goes well with the other 'soft' facial features like the nostrils, mouth and ears. Is that the purpose?

"Jungle Expedition: Canoeing in the Peruvian Amazon" Sepahua by darthmilmo
Sepahua Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 27 photos
I had never dream of ever going to a solo jungle expedition in one of the Amazon River tributaries. As fate would teach me, nothing is set in stone while you're on the road travelling. One afternoon in Cusco, I met up with some friends from Israel which I have met up with on and off since Ecuador. They introduce me to an Israeli soldier who was also travelling in the region. He was looking for a partner to go on a Jungle Expedition. His plan was simple: buy a canoe in and around Ivochote and row it down river until Sepahua. At first I said no since I had plan to go to Bolivia, but when I heard the plan I jumped in to the idea. Imagine the endless possibilites of such an adventure. In my mind, I know this would be one of the craziest things that I will ever do.
We spent several days planning it. At one point, my Dutch friend was contemplating coming, but he backed out at the last minute. I kind of new this jungle trip will be the last one for this trip. Let me tell you, I have no regrets on going to the jungle in Peru. It was beautiful! Got to see gators, parrots, guacamayas, exotic birds, and other animals. I even caught this weird looking, but good tasting, catfish. It was nearly a meter long!
Sepahua is a small town in the Peruvian Amazon. This page covers not only Sepahua, but also a detailed explanation on a Jungle Expedition I was part of in 2001. In this side-trip, an Israeli friend and I travelled from Cusco to Sepahua and back to Cusco by land and river transport (the whole trip took us about 2 weeks). To make it even more interesting, we actually bought a canoe and rowed down river for over 500 kilometers from el Pongo de Mananique to Sepahua. It was an amazing experience that I will try to condence in a few tips. The full excerpt on the Jungle Expedition is enclosed in both my Peru travelogue and the travelogue below.
- Pros:No tourists, no modern ammenities, just you and nature at it's best
- Cons:Arranging transportation is time consuming
- In a nutshell:One of the best jungle experiences in Peru

Over the past weekend, stunned and saddened like everyone else over the violence in Colorado, I took time to watch the movie Of Gods and Men for the third time. This was in preparation for an upcoming retreat.Watching that movie, about the monks of Our Lady of the Atlas Mountains, who were martyred during the Algerian Civil War in 1996, gave me a new and, I hope, contemplative perspective on both the shootings and how ordinary people might respond to them. The monks of Atlas lived Christlike … [Read more...]

Thanks for all the advice on my MIL/splitting up post.
We have both decided a TO or CO is in order, duh, with MIL. Over due, yes.
So, anyhow.
Who should do it? Just dh? Both of us?
In person? E mail?
He is the in person type. I was thinking e mail.
I was also thinking both of us? So he doesn't get side tracked & keep being a DuH.
We are in counseling. Hopefully she has some tips. Perhaps we will wait for her to give some advice on how/when to Tell MIL of the TO.
Or maybe I should just BH everything, and not even worry about
telling her she is CO?

After waiting seven months Indiana basketball has finally returned and what a better way to start off the season then by a rivalry between the Borden Braves and the Eastern Musketeers. The game started out rough for both teams after several turnovers and the first score not coming until two and a half minutes into the game.
The Eastern High School girls' basketball continues to roll through the season. They are ranked third in the Class 2 poll and are 10-2, including six wins in a row heading into the Washington County Invitational Dec. 29-30 at Salem.
The West Washington School Corporation currently has high-speed internet.
Just a few years back there was talk of doing away with the wrestling program at East Washington School Corporation.

Lilac Cottage MelroseBook Now >
Petit and perfectly positioned, Lilac Cottage is a blissful spot for romance and relaxation - an idyllic retreat for two guests with all the attractions of the Borders on the doorstep.
With its charming exterior, pretty garden and cosy interior, the cottage is beautifully presented with elegant furnishings offset against a soft Farrow & Ball colour palette and muted tweeds and textiles in keeping with the surroundings. Downstairs the quaint sitting room and kitchen leads to a charming conservatory and enclosed garden which enjoys a bright sunny aspect for lazy afternoons or leisurely dining during the summer months. Upstairs there is a delightful bedroom with king-size bed and large en-suite bathroom and dressing room.
The famous River Tweed sits a short walk from the property while the picturesque town of Melrose is a 15 minute walk or just a few minute's drive, boasting the evocative ruins of Melrose Abbey, historic visitor attractions and pretty narrow streets offering some of the best shopping in the Borders.
The beguiling town of Melrose is a 15 minute walk or a few minute's drive away tucked between the Tweed and the gorse-backed Eildon Hills. This picturesque town is home of rugby 7s and boasts the evocative ruins of Melrose Abbey and pretty narrow streets offering some of the best shopping in the Borders. For walking enthusiasts Melrose is the starting point of the popular 64-mile St Cuthbert's Walk which criss-crosses the Borders on its way to Holy Island.
Just down the road is Abbotsford House, the fairytale home of Sir Walter Scott as well as Scott's View, his favourite picnic spot commanding the most incredible views of the Tweed and Eildon Hills. (It's said Scott's horse stopped here out of habit during his own funeral procession. The pretty Borders market town of Peebles is close by as is Kelso, described by Sir Walter Scott as "the most beautiful, if not the most romantic village in Scotland" with a Flemish-style cobbled square, a 12th Century abbey, the majestic Floors Castle and a graceful five-arched Tweed bridge (a model for London's Waterloo Bridge). The beautiful city of Edinburgh is an easy day trip just over 35 miles away.
Melrose's location slap bang in the middle of the borders makes it an ideal base for exploring this wonderful area whether on 2 feet, 2 wheels or 4 hooves. For keen cyclists, walkers and riders, there are hundreds of square miles of forests, woodland and heather-clad hills and 1,200 miles of quiet country roads to explore. There are several major walking and cycling routes nearby including St Cuthbert's Way, the Four Abbeys Cycle Route, Innerleithen's famous Red Bull down-hill and cross country trails. The 2,500 acre Glentress forest, a mountain biking and walking mecca set in stunning Tweed Valley Countryside is only 16 miles away.
The area is also a golfer's paradise, with the 9 hole Melrose golf club and two 18 hole courses - Galashiels Golf Club and Torwoodlee Golf Club just a pitch and putt away. There's another 46 courses within a 30 mile radius including the championship courses at Cardrona and Roxburghe and the famous links courses at Luffness, Gullane and Dunbar.

A senior UAE Ministry of Interior official has denied reports of a ban on tourist visas for unskilled workers, state news agency WAM reported.
Major General Nasser Al Awadi Al Menhali, Assistant Undersecretary for Naturalisation and Residency, and Ports Affairs at the Ministry of Interior, said residency departments in the emirates were following standard procedures while processing visit visa applications.
Al Menhali said earlier media reports that visitors from certain labour-intensive Asian countries, such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Philippines, would be required to present university degrees along with tourist, visit or conference visa applications, were not correct.
"Any new procedures would be announced to the public and posted on the ministry's website or released to the media by the Security Information Department," Al Menhali told WAM.
Al Menhali said the earlier reports came from unofficial sources and were unreliable.

Though guidelines suggest screening starts at 50, researcher says it's premature to change them
by LucyT on Tue Jan 18, 2011 11:31 PM
My boyfriend recently passed away. He had stage iv melanoma. He received one round of IL-2 in November. He was at hospital to have round two of IL-2. He had fluid in his lung, and wouldn't give it to him. Gave him another chemo. He was home for two days, ended up back in hospital with a blood clot. Blood pressure dropped and ended up in ICU for ten days. He was too sick to scan but doctor thinks he may have mets to lining of stomach. For a few weeks, he couldn't eat, lost tons of weight and only wanted to lay in bed. I am still in shock. Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

Harvard GSD material processes students build an intricate ceramic wall at Cevisama
Wednesday, February 3, 2016
William Menking.
Cevisama is the largest annual ceramic and terracotta exhibition in the world. Architects and designers from the whole world are here, but there is almost no North American representation—either displaying products, media reporting on building advances with the material, or architects looking for new products. Thus it was surprising to run across this Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) project from their Material Processes and Systems Group student studio. It is one of the most advanced and exciting projects in the entire fair. Have a closer look below.
Architecture's Two Percent: Black in Design conference at Harvard tackles complex social and economic issues
Monday, October 12, 2015
Justin Garrett Moore.
In recent months there has been increasing awareness and discussion around the built environment's impact on a number of complex social and economic issues that also intersect with race and class. Architecture critic James Russell has written about Ferguson and even New York Times critic Michael Kimmelman has written about Eric Garner. This momentum for a long-overdue public conversation on these issues among those in the design and planning disciplines is also being fostered by a group of predominantly black and predominantly women students at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.

Harvard Names Seven Finalists for the 2014 Wheelwright Prize
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Alexandra Pucciarelli.
Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) has announced seven finalists for the $100,000 Wheelwright Grant which is awarded annually for travel-based architectural research. This prize was first given in 1935 to purely GSD grads until it was revamped in 2013 to be an open competition.
The 2014 competition received nearly 200 submissions from 46 countries. The jury awarded special commendation to seven individuals for their exceptional design talent and imaginative research proposals. The winner will be announced on April 30th.
Hopkins Architects to Transform Harvard's Holyoke Center into New Campus Hub
Monday, November 18, 2013
Nick Miller.
Harvard's Holyoke Center, designed by renowned Catalan architect and former Dean on the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Josep Lluís Sert, will soon be undergoing major renovations, university President Drew Faust announced last Thursday. London-based Hopkins Architects, the designers of Princeton's Frick Chemistry Laboratory and Yale's Kroon Hall, have signed on to transform the 50-year-old, cast-in-place administrative building into multifaceted campus center by 2018.
Le Corbusier's Carpenter Center for Visual Arts: Fifty Years Later
Friday, August 30, 2013
Stela Rahman.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the construction of the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. Completed in 1963, it is Le Corbusier's only major building in the United States, and one of his final commissions before his death in 1965. The renowned modernist architect envisaged a "synthesis of the arts," the union of architecture with sculpture, painting, and other arts. In the spirit of Corbusier's unique style, the building stands out among the more traditional architectural prototypes of the Harvard campus. This is evident right from his initial concept sketch of the building, where Corbusier utilized bold colors to denote the new building, while shading the surrounding Harvard campus in dark brown—a color not typically part of his visual palette.
Architect Gia Wolff Wins First Harvard Wheelwright Prize
Thursday, May 16, 2013
Vincenza Di Maggio.
Yesterday, Harvard University's Graduate School of Design officially announced the winner of the first Wheelwright Prize, a $100,000 traveling fellowship aimed at cultivating new forms of architectural research through cultural exchange. The jury awarded the fellowship to Gia Wolff, a Harvard graduate and Brooklyn-based architect, for her original proposal Floating City: The Community-Based Architecture of Parade Floats. The young architect and professor, who currently leads her own practice, uniquely explored the cultural significance and design of the traditional parade float, which frequently transforms cities and brings people together during carnival festivals all throughout the world. The competition generated 231 submissions from 45 countries
Chasing After Zero
Monday, July 13, 2009
Matt Chaban.
Kevin Greenberg sends us another insightful dispatch from Kenmare Street:
Last Tuesday, the Storefront for Art and Architecture felt like a satellite campus of the GSD as Harvard students and other Cambridgians joined locals at the Storefront for a release party for the second issue of New Geographies, a doctoral student-edited periodical recently launched by the GSD's Aga Khan Program. The editors of New Geographies, Neyran Turan and Stephan Ramos, told us that they had several meanings in mind when they chose the theme for the second issue. Titled "After Zero," the issue centers on the slippery idea of a "zero point." The editors cite zero carbon and "zero context" urban developments (or "cities from scratch") as contemporary examples that force designers to question design methodologies and justifications.

It's a nit--but why is Danica Patrick referred to as a "racecar celebrity" instead of a "racecar driver"?
I suspect Sprint CEO Dan Hesse knows much more about the larger segment of the mobile phone market than do most journalists and people who read the WSJ.
There are now and will continue to be customers who purchase a mobile phone as a form of secondary, tertiary or emergency communication. And that segment is quite large as Mr. Hesse knows.
I am reminded of the millions of Bell Telephone customers of years ago who continued to lease their phones from Maw Bell even when there was no need for them to do so.
My takeaway from this article is pay little attention to the next 'Hero device' and focus instead on the larger markets along with the 'device lineup' developed to serve those markets.
Content engaging our readers now, with additional prominence accorded if the story is rapidly gaining attention. Our WSJ algorithm comprises 30% page views, 20% Facebook, 20% Twitter, 20% email shares and 10% comments.

Microlending in the U.S. you say? The United States is one of the most unequal countries in the world with regard to income. The statistics are staggering: America's top 10% of income make 4/5 of the total income earned in the U.S. That leaves 90% of the population to split the rest. It is a unique and unfortunate quality of the United States to have low income communities living next door to so much inaccessible wealth. Accion uses microlending to change this.

Caroline Dorr, KF25 in Indonesia Rice is everywhere here in Bali, Indonesia! Rice (or "nasi" in Indonesian) is the staple food here and is eaten every day by almost all Indonesians.

I found a local place who does team penning and ranch sorting. I've been working with Raina to get her ready for the arena, and I want to start introducing her to some cows pretty soon.
I need advice on the best way to do this. I can always feel her out and go with what she will tolerate, but ideas and guidence are always a plus. I'm curious as to how other members have started their horses on cattle.

Faker Tots: The 'Kids' In Sing-Alongs Aren't So Young As You May Think
Sometimes the kids you hear on records for kids aren't really kids. In fact, there's a crew of adult singers in Nashville that specializes in sounding young — very young. Blake Farmer of WPLN sat in on one of the group's recording sessions.

I am related to her though the Earle and Ellis lines. It's so strange that I have a connection to this story as I took a class on Early American Literature and read a lot of literature that my ancestors were a part of or about! I heard through the family that we had deep American roots, but I did not realize that I am directly related to the early settlers. Thank you for sharing! I am heading to RI for a vacation, and also have in laws on the Cape. I won't be in MA, but now that I have this information, I will be doing more research. Again, thank you for your research and making it available!

They Buried her quickly. Having had no autopsy of sorts the magistrate ordered he body exhumed and when Thomas undug her up with two grave diggers her eyes opened so he struck her head off with his shovel.

My mother flipped out (born Barbara Lake), because she was always called Alice by her friends when she was growing up. I've seen enough of the story to know that Henry's brother was involved in the prosecution, and Henry never spoke to him and his wife again. The brother, whose name I've forgotten, never had kids, and Henry's three surviving kids inherited all their property, which is why they ended up back in what is now Massachusetts. Pretty freakin' horrid story.

The only one that matches is another ancestor, whose mother died, and in doing so, fell into her fireplace. A neighbor later dreamed the woman saying to her that her son had caused her death. This 'spectral evidence' was enough to kill the poor bastard by being hung for murder. I'm a descendant of his widow by her next husband.Unknownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

ByTimothy S. Lane
How many times have you tried to change a behavior only to find yourself doing the same thing again? Do these phrases sound familiar? "There I go again!" "I've had this struggle for years, and I just can't seem to win." "I do okay for awhile, but then I get caught in the same old sin." It"s easy to be discouraged when we fall into the same old sins, but God, in the Bible, offers hope to repeat offenders.
Timothy S. Lane, a pastor, counselor, father, and husband helps you fight the daily, small battles with temptation by looking at the desires that underlie your behaviors, the different stages of temptation, and how honestly going to Christ in repentance and faith will change your desire life. You will learn that you and your sin are no match for God's goodness, power, and grace.
Timothy S. Lane, M.Div., D.Min. has been a minister in the Presbyterian Church in America since 1991 (PCA) and is the coauthor of the books How People Change and Relationships: A Mess Worth Making, coauthor of the curricula Change and Your Relationships and How People Change, and author of many minibooks. Tim has 30 years of experience in pastoral ministry, counseling, teaching and executive leadership. Tim is also adjunct professor of practical theology at several seminaries including Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He speaks nationally and internationally, consults with churches and writes about the importance of pastoral care. You can read more from Tim at timlane.org or follow him on Twitter at @timlane.
About New Growth Press Minibooks
New Growth Press minibooks are written for the person with the question, concern, or struggle and are also used by counselors, pastors, and others to apply biblical gospel-centered help to a specific issue. The minibooks are small enough so that the average reader can read the whole minibook in less than thirty minutes. Churches and counseling ministries make the minibooks available in their acrylic display cases to members, counselees, and clients.

More than four decades ago, the Voting Rights Act put an end to the widespread discrimination that robbed people of color of their voice at the ballot box. This year, in state capitals across the country, we are again seeing a pernicious attack on one of the American people's most cherished and fundamental rights: the right to vote.
It is a truly malicious scheme. A wave of anti-democratic voter suppression laws are being passed — designed to keep huge numbers of voters who are African-American, elderly, students, or voters with disabilities away from the polls in 2012.
Already, 18 states have either passed or threatened to pass restrictive voter ID bills this session.
Tell the Department of Justice to fully enforce the Voting Rights Act by aggressively scrutinizing new voting restrictions for discriminatory impact, refusing to pre-clear laws that have a discriminatory purpose or effect, and bringing cases in other states where necessary to challenge regressive voter laws.
Don't let America turn back the clock on the fundamental right to vote. Contact Attorney General Holder and help stop these voter suppression tactics by filling out the form below.

Run13 Buddhabrot: can you not just copy and paste a system image on the new HD, before inserting it? then when it boots, should it already contain OS and etc?
Andrew Morrison: This is not how you install a windows 7 to a NEW BLANK drive. You need to open CMD prompt in windows 7 install and format a NEW BLANK drive manually before hand. This is the "I have no idea what I'm doing" way of installing. Which ONLY works if the hard drive is pre-formatted.
