Two Cheers for President Obama's Proposed Climate Regulation
Yesterday, under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, President Obama proposed regulations requiring significant reductions in greenhouse gases produced by each American state. Using 2005 as a baseline, states, on average, will be required to achieve a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030. If the courts allow it, a year from now, those regulations would go into effect and about two years from today, on June 1, 2016, the states would be required to tell EPA how they will achieve those reductions. The president's move is long overdue, but remains a significant step. It says that global warming is an established scientific fact and American public policy and law will now turn to the long-term goal of mitigating climate change.
It has already taken 15 years to get to this point. In 1999, a number of states and cities petitioned EPA to reduce greenhouse gases from motor vehicles. In 2003, under then-president George W. Bush, EPA asserted that it did not have the authority to regulate greenhouse gases and, even if it had the power, it wouldn't exercise it. Eventually, Massachusetts sued, and in 2007 the Supreme Court decided that EPA had the authority to regulate greenhouse gases and that unless the agency could provide scientific evidence that these gases did not cause harm, it also had the obligation to regulate them. In January 2014, EPA issued greenhouse gas regulations for new power plants. Today's announcement will regulate and require reductions from many existing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, including existing power plants. States are required to submit plans to EPA telling the agency how they will achieve these reductions.
As important as the federal moves are, many states, such as California and a number of those in the Northeast, may have already met the targets being proposed. The northeastern "Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative" (RGGI) has been a notable success. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation:
Together the nine RGGI states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont) set a cap for total emissions of CO2 from electric generation facilities in the region. By agreement, the RGGI cap declines over time, gradually tightening emission limits: initiated at 165 million tons per year in 2005, the regional cap in 2014 is 91 million tons. Emissions caps (or CO2 Budgets) in individual RGGI participating states are equal to agreed-upon shares of the region-wide cap...Today in the RGGI region, power sector GHG emissions are more than 40 percent lower than they were when RGGI was initiated in 2005.
One key issue addressed by President Obama's new federal regulation is the proposed baseline year from which reductions must be achieved. States like New York will be pleased that 2005 has been set as the baseline, since at least their power generators have already achieved the national reduction goals. States will have over a decade to achieve these new targets, and the northeastern states have already demonstrated that these reductions are feasible. While the new greenhouse gas rule is a significant first step, it has taken years to accomplish and, in a global sense, represents a small step in a long journey. Although many believe that the new climate policy will allow the U.S. to take a leadership role in international negotiations, I continue to believe that the overall approach of encouraging renewables by raising the price of fossil fuels will not succeed. I also think that nations who claim they will not reduce emissions until the U.S. does are simply rationalizing their inability to act. Without a replacement for fossil fuels, emerging economies will continue to increase their use of these fuels.
I have become convinced that regulating energy is not like regulating anything else. Energy is central to modern economic life. Only food and water are more important, and there is no massive drive to raise the costs of those necessities. I have long been influenced by Howard Odum's concept of net energy and his view of the interconnection of energy, ecological and economic systems. The first comprehensive treatment of these concepts can be found in his and Elizabeth Odum's 1976 classic, The Energy Basis for Man and Nature. Odum distinguishes net energy from gross energy. He believes that the actual amount of fossil fuel reserves remaining must account for the amount of energy it takes to extract and transport energy for use. He and Elizabeth Odum also discussed the ecological damage caused by fossil fuel extraction and use, and the economic cost of that damage. Building on their analysis, I believe that our rapidly growing use of fossil fuels virtually ensures that the energy supply will require more and more energy to extract and that the price of fossil fuel energy will rise faster than projected.
Devoting scarce political capital to the goal of raising the price of fossil fuels is a waste of effort. Without substitutes, their use will grow regardless of price. They are simply too important to regulate; they must be replaced. Energy is deeply connected and imbedded in every aspect of modern life. Fossil fuel energy prices will rise and the growing proportion of GDP devoted to energy could very well dampen economic growth and threaten political stability. Post-industrial nations like ours will reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade and indeed those reductions have already begun. Nevertheless, the vast increases in fossil fuel based energy use in China and India alone virtually guarantee continued global warming. No treaty or policy will reduce the hunger for fossil fuels in those places. Only a lower-priced, reliable and convenient replacement for fossil fuels will make a difference. The argument is that a global climate policy will speed the development of renewables. I see no evidence of that. It could just as easily be ignored, undermining the legitimacy of international law.
A replacement for fossil fuels is essential for ecological, economic and political sustainability and stability. Governments should focus as much human brainpower as we can find to develop and implement renewable energy technology. The goal should be to make fossil fuels irrelevant. Fossil fuels need to become the energy equivalent of the eight-track tape. They need to be driven from the marketplace by a better source of energy. By "better" I mean lower-priced, reliable and less of a threat to our ecosphere.
Given my view of the big picture, why do I favor the command and control regulation of greenhouse gases that the Obama Administration is employing? First, because it places climate change more firmly on this country's institutional, political and policy agenda. A clear signal is being provided to private corporations, governments, nonprofits and everyone else that climate change is a real threat and the U.S. federal government is at long last ready to respond. The second reason that I am heartened by the administration's move is that it is the only policy option available under current political conditions. While it will be a decade before it is meaningful and operational, and other policies might be speedier and more effective, it beats the current U.S. national policy: doing almost nothing.
The new greenhouse gas regulation is no profile in political courage, but I gave up "hope" long ago that President Obama would respond aggressively to the climate crisis. Given the political potency of the hard right, he was not going to risk reelection over climate policy. The president had the authority to propose today's rule since he came to office in 2009. When the Waxman and Markey cap-and-trade policy was killed in the spring of 2010, he could have responded with the same policy he will announce today. He could have reminded the business community that the alternative to the more efficient cap-and-trade policy was the available blunt weapon of command and control regulation. It took an extra four years to get to that point -- four years of anti-science propaganda and denial of the reality of climate science.
Fortunately, state and local governments have taken the lead on this issue and America has begun to reduce its carbon footprint. But as we harvest this low-hanging fruit, I think it's time to start focusing on the basics. Only a partnership between the government, America's still-great research universities and the private sector can develop and implement the technological fix to the climate crisis. The research, development and deployment of renewable energy technology should be our highest national priority.

Stephen -
Thank you - this is refreshingly thoughtful and nuanced analysis. Putting aside the specifics of the announced rules, I wonder what your take is on the idea that "good" regulation aims not only to increase the price of fossil fuels but to shift "investment/subsidy" from fossil fuels - directly or indirectly - to the replacements you rightly say we need? That is the rationale for these measures that has always made most sense to me - for the reasons you cite. Within the constraints of our current political relaiuty, what would you see as the best mechansisms for helping to acclerate replacement?

The Pegasus
Episode Reviews (12)
Riker's old captain shows up to bring back ghosts from the past...
Wackiness Ensues!
I watched this episode for two reasons 1.) Being a fan of Carnivale and Battlestar Galactica's remake, I wanted to see some more of Ronald Moore's writing... and 2.) I thought it would be funny seeing Locke from Lost in a Star Fleet Uniform...
And they both paid off!!! Moore's darker, more militaristic style is shown in this episode full of tense moral questions involving the chain of command (something that' brought up in BSG quite a bit)... Should Riker obey the orders of a superior officer, even if he morally objects to the decision? or should he disregard the Admiral's orders and bring all the old skeletons to light? exactlly the type of tension i expect from Moore's writing...
and also Locke with more, darker hair in a tight star-fleet uniform made me laugh for about 10 min straight! I kept expecting the giant smoke monster to show up and teach those Romulans what's up! But then again, it only attacks guys named Eko and CGI trees...moreless
Great story, outstanding acting, and intriguing sci-fi mystery make this episode one my favorites
Patrick Stewart and guest star Terry O'Quinn deliver excellent supporting performances. And even though it was a minor role, I also took note of Michael Mack, who was also very good and appropriately smarmy as the Romulan commander. But this is a Riker episode, and Jonathan Frakes delivers probably his finest performance as a man struggling to resolve the conflict between his loyalty to Picard and his duty to obey Starfleet's orders.
My favorite moment in this episode is the reaction on Riker's face as he realizes that Picard is threatening to remove him as First Officer. Bravo Jonathan Frakes!
I also enjoyed the mystery aspect of the story, as the audience (as well as Picard) doesn't know what's so important about the Pegasus and what it represents.
And let's not forget Levar Burton's direction, which provided some fresh camera angles, and nicely framed the actors so as to take full advantage of the previously mentioned performances. He also created a bit of a darker look, which complemented the darker storyline.
As for the treaty, yes, the Federation did give up an important tactical advantage. But not an insurmountable one. Starfleet has a detection grid all along the Federation borders, and a similar setup was used to thwart the Romulans during the Klingon civil war. We don't know what the Federation got in return for giving up cloaking technology, but it must have been significant. And as stated in the episode, that treaty has kept the peace for 60 years.moreless
Blame Gene Roddenberry
It was Gene Roddenberry's vision of an idealistic vision of a non violent Federation He considered cloaking technology goes against UFP principles. In reality it would be totally unacceptable to allow an enemy to have such a tactical advantage. This showed cracks in the Federation and Starfleet and gave reasons for The Marquis.
UFP has idiots for the treaty phase
I agree with fairusers review. What kind of moron gives all the advantage to the enemy? The Romulans have never in good faith tried to help the Federation, just the opposite actually. Watch Season 5 episode "The Next Phase". The Romulans are trying to do the same thing with their cloaking device, and they try to destroy the Enterprise AFTER Picard and crew SAVE THEM FROM CERTAIN DEATH when it goes wrong. Seriously? Why is Picard so trusting of the Romulans after that? This episode reeks of a peace loving tree hugger that thinks you should always trust your enemy. If you watch Deep Space 9 then you would REALLY hate this episode, because Romulans have used the cloaking device to kill thousands of Starfleet personnel in many of the meetings that have taken place since TOS.moreless
Make it so, number one
This dark Riker episode follows the same formula as "The First Duty" from the fifth season; but with a richer backstory and higher stakes. It's a mystery episode, with the audience (and Captain Picard) entering the fray a bit behind the story and having to play catch up, putting the pieces of the puzzle together as the story progresses. With this sort of secretive plot, it's important to get powerhouse acting performances, as nonverbal communication is often more important than what's in the script. Thankfully, Jonathan Frakes (who gives, perhaps, his finest performance in the series) is joined by Terry O'Quinn (who would join Ricardo Montalban in the "Star Trek Guest Star Hall of Fame" if someone ever created one). Together, with Patrick Stewart, and under the direction of LeVar Burton (in his second directorial outing and his second Riker episode) they build the drama to its breaking point before a satisfying ending that sadly never gets a sequel ... although Enterprise (the series) uses this episode as a frame to nest its finale episode.moreless
Spoiler alert: An episode that shows that the Federation needs some better diplomats, and that they got rolled in their non-proliferation treaty.
So the Federation actually negotiated and signed a treaty that allowed the Romulans and Cardassians and other Federation enemies keep cloaking devices, so they can constantly sneak up on Federation vessels, and bans the Federation from developing similar technology? Who negotiated this treaty, Neville Chamberlain? And Picard's self-righteousness seems out of character, since he feels protecting his ship is all-important. Wouldn't using such a cloaking device be the ultimate protection for his ship? Also weird is after being shocked at reading of the Pegasus mutiny, hours later he is violating direct orders by the Admiral. Only in this upside down, better-us-dead-than-someone-else universe would the guys trying to make their team stronger be the bad guys, and the appeasers the good guys. Very disturbing, and exactly why I hope the USA never joins such an inter-planetary organization. The UN and NATO are bad enough!moreless
Duty, loyalty, caught between a rock and a hard place.
One of the best Star Trek TNG episodes. Terry O'Quinn (currently in "Lost") in one of his earlier performances as Admiral Pressman, back in the days when O'Quinn had hair! It's funny to see how he acted back then and how he acts now!
I especially liked how this episode gave some insight into Riker's career on the Starship Pegasus before he came to the Enterprise. It's also interesting to find out why Starfleet never developed their own cloaking technology (a question I've often wondered). The incident in this episode pits Riker against a ruthless hawkish admiral (O'Quinn) and Riker is ordered to conceal what's going on from Picard. But Picard does some research of his own and finds out there was a mutiny on the Pegasus while under the command of Pressman, 12 years previously. From then on, everything starts to fall into place...moreless
With the possible exception of "All Good Things", easily the best episode of the uneven seventh season.
It's sad, but "The Pegasus" comes less than halfway through TNG's seventh season. What follows is one of the series' longest stretch of mediocre episodes, with the exception the excellent "Lower Decks", "Preemptive Strike", and series finale.
This episode inevitably evokes two episodes - "The Defector" (classic battle of wits with the Romulans) and "The Drumhead" (classic battle of wits with a rogue Starfleet admiral). Once the plot gets going, it rushes past and keeps the viewer on the edge of the seat. We get Picard dressing down Riker for maybe the only time in the series, showing off Patrick Stewart's acting ability. We get Jonathan Frakes showing, as he often did late in the series, that he was not an acting lightweight.
Exceptional and a nice little memento of what TNG could do at its peak.moreless
Picard is under orders from Starfleet to rendezvous with Admiral Pressman. Picard and Riker beam him aboard. Pressman's agenda is to find the Pegasus before it falls in Romulan hands. Pressman is Riker former commanding officer.
Picard is under orders from Starfleet to rendezvous with Admiral Pressman. Picard and Riker beam him aboard. Pressman's agenda is to find the Pegasus before it falls in Romulan hands. Pressman is Riker former commanding officer. Pressman informs Riker of the mission and tells him not to tell Picard. Picard with his hands tied has to trust the Admiral. The "Enteprise" conducts a search and finds the "Pegasus" Pressman orders the ship into a crack in the asteroid. They get sealed in by mistake by a romulan ship. I think it was intended. Now how will they get out?moreless
Riker's ex captain comes aboard to help protect a secret.
The only reason I am writing this review is because I just watched the episode and felt that I should. What was so cool was that it had Locke from Lost playing the admiral. I didn't recognize him the last time I watched the episode but now I do and I was like wow.
It was a good episode. It had a strong plot and I liked how they added the Romulans who actually have cloaking technology to the mix as the kind of ticking clock.
Overall it was a good episode and I think that it proved why this is such a good series.moreless

The cost of maintaining a position in options that profit from a drop in Herbalife shares has declined "substantially" since Herbalife canceled its dividend, Ackman said in his quarterly letter to investors dated today. Most of the over-the-counter contracts Pershing currently holds will expire next year. "We will extend their terms by paying additional premiums if it is necessary to do so," Ackman wrote in the letter, which was obtained by Bloomberg News.

Immigration hardliners seemed to have true believers, but some Republicans are straying from the flock
With Republicans in firm control of Arizona's government apparatus and Sen. Russell Pearce leading the Senate, more aggressive laws against illegal immigration seemed certain to emerge from the 2011 legislative session. But cracks are showing in the reputed Republican bastion built on dominance in the Arizona Legislature and Governor's Office.Read More »

Critics: Pearce's latest immigration bill worse than SB1070
A mere "cleanup" it is not.

text:
Three cheers aren't enough for Arizona. It's the first state to defend American citizenship on the basis of identity, and American sovereignty on the basis of borders. In an age of blurred identities and undefended borders, Arizona has put itself in a good, old-fashioned state of revolt against the postmodern, global-minded state of being foisted on us by internationalist elites up to and including President Barack Hussein Obama.
That's the effect, anyway, of Arizona's new immigration law, which, as George F. Will has aptly pointed out, "makes what is already a federal offense -- being in the country illegally -- a state offense." Only in our time, with identities blurred, borders undefended and elites internationalized, could this be controversial. Among other things, the new law requires state law enforcement to verify a person's immigration status in the course of "lawful contact."
Far from heralding the deployment of jackbooted terror squads among the tumbleweed and sprinklers, Arizona's new law acknowledges that American citizenship does and (wow) should exist, and affirms that sovereignty, ignored at the federal level, is the responsibility of a state overrun by illegal aliens mainly from neighboring Mexico.
Given our psycho idea of "normal" -- alien-strained schools, bankrupted hospitals, advancing bilingualism and "sanctuary cities" -- this new immigration law has aroused Establishment wrath.
Moving across the spectrum from Right(ish) to Left, this ranges from the tense chorus of tut-tutting from the pro-amnesty Republican underbelly (Jeb Bush, Karl Rove, Tom Ridge), insta-calls for boycotts of Arizona from California officials, denunciations from Left-wing national pols and pundits (Nancy Pelosi, E.J. Dionne) a possible Justice Department investigation from President Obama, and, of course, much razzing from La Raza and other Che-idolizing open-borders and Reconquista agitators. There's another reason. Arizona suddenly poses an unexpected threat to the status quo of permissible lawlessness, the illegal demographic transformation of this country into a linguistic and cultural extension of Latin America. This out-of-control movement has been tolerated if not facilitated by our political leadership for several decades under the dangerous influence of what we know as multiculturalism, the school of thought that has widely delegitimized U.S. identity altogether. Maybe more than anything else, Arizona's law restores a civic sense that there exists such an identity, and it is, and should be, legally protected. Thus, the multiculti rage.

Janne Johannes Puurtinen, better known as Emerson Burton, is the current keyboard-player in the Finnish rock band, HIM. He was born 17 October 1974, in Helsinki. Burton made his second debut as a temporary member of the band at the concert arranged at the Semifinal Club on 12 January 2001. This was to give the keyboarder the chance to appear in a low key environment before the tour dates in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark later that month. Burton described playing with HIM as "really easy and comfortable" as his bandmates helped him to learn the set. He was asked to become a full time member at the end of January 2001. He was friends with other members of the band while at school but did not join their band immediately. Instead, he went on to study music at a higher level and is now classically trained. Burton's influences include Tchaikovsky, Michael Jackson, and Pink Floyd.

Blake's Story
Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We've created it to keep friends and family updated about our loved one. Get started by reading the introduction to our website, My Story.
Visit often to read the latest journal entries, visit the photo gallery, and write us a note in our guestbook.
We have been asked to post the background story here ...instead we are deferring to a post from our firnd and Blake's pediatrician Dr Barrett...
Thanks for caring!
Dear friends,
My name is Greg Barrett, and I am Blake Haxton's pediatrician. I assume you have been following the story of this brave young man and his remarkable family for some time but it is possible you still don't understand the true magnitude of what has transpired here. I would like to take a moment, with the family's permission, to explain in more detail from my perspective.
Blake was admitted to the hospital on a Monday evening four weeks ago with what turned out to be, as all of you know by now, necrotizing fasciitis. In less than 72 hours he had had his first leg amputated, his heart had stopped, he was in shock with complete liver, lung, and kidney failure, and he had been transferred to a tertiary care center for palliative support on a heart/lung machine. I had spoken to his coctors, I had seen his numbers, and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt the unspeakable truth---Blake was going to die.
On Thursday morning I drove into OSU Hospital to console his parents. I listened to Blake's father, Steve, tearfully recount all that his 18-year-old son had been through, and then I told him what I had learned from the dedicated physicians who had worked so tirelessly to support him. There was simply no hope. He was "violently ill" (their words) and his labs and clinical condition were incompatible with survival, the only remaining question being when it was finally agreed upon by all involved that Blake had had enough and it was time to let him go. Steve listened but he didn't need me to say it; he and his wife Heather had already decoded the doctors' words and they knew the story. Then Steve made the most amazing statement---he and his wife Heather understood that their son was in God's hands and they would trust His judgment, if this was their son's time to go join his maker they would accept it, rejoicing and celebrating Blake's life and the time they had been given him. Utterly speechless I left, all of us understanding that man had done all he could for Blake, the only hope left being a miracle.
I am a scientist by trade, but this is what I believe occurred next---from family and friends, from classmates and people who had never even heard of him prior to his illness, from churches, synagogues, and mosques, from his community and from literally all parts of the world, thousands of prayers were directed skyward in one voice crying in unison, "Please, dear God, if you could find it in your mercy please spare him, not this wonderful young man, God, not now, not this time, not yet." And the unfathomable happened. In spite of longer odds than any of you could ever imagine, Blake Haxton did not die.
Why was he spared? I don't think any of us will ever know for sure. But just consider all of the good which has come from his story already. A newfound awareness of this rare and vicious infection has spread all over the planet. The strength, spirit, and humility of this family and their bravery in the face of a brutality beyond comprehension has inspired millions. And perhaps above all else Steve and Heather's steadfast, unwavering trust in God's will during the ultimate test has fortified the faith of all who have witnessed it, and most certainly that would include yours truly.
The road ahead for Blake is going to be long and arduous. He and his family will surely be tested further, and they will need our continued prayers and support. But I for one will never again doubt this amazing young man. And who knows, his story may only just be beginning as now that he is famous with the whole world watching he may re-define for many the concept of living with a disability. The Haxtons just may not be done inspiring us yet. All I know is that they will be in my heart forever.
In the final analysis I suppose the medical professionals will have their own theories of how Blake somehow managed to survive, how it was possible he came back from the dead as he did. And that's okay, they're entitled to their opinions. But friends, I was there, and trust me, this is the solemn truth:
It was a miracle.

Cereal Project > Kellogg's > Corn Soya
When mornings grow crisp, send 'em off to school feeling o-boya! Give em' substantial Corn-Soys!
Kellogg's Corn-Soya Shred Cereal was introduced as "New Grand Flavor - New Great Food - Twin Treat!"
An ad describing the cereal read as follows:
"Mother! Never before a cereal kile Kellogg's new Corn-Soya! Tops in breakfast cereals for body-building protein! And it's ready to eat! Sweet, rich toasted shreds!
Especially good for children! Corn-Soya is a flavorful blend of high-energy corn with high-protein soya. We all need protein. But children need it even more - to build fine strong bodies!
When mornings grow crisp, send 'em off to school feeling "o-boya"! Give em' substantial Corn-Soys! In family-sized packages."
In the mid-1950's, Corn Soya was promoted with the description, "high-protein for man power."
Company Description: Kellogg's was originally founded as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906. The company's founder Will Keith Kellogg is credited with inventing corn flakes along with his brother John Harvey Kellogg. The company was renamed the Kellogg Company in 1922...

This was my favorite cereal when I was a child. I remember being disappointed when we could no longer find it. Wouldn't this be a good time to bring it back, with the same recipe? We know now that soy is the only vegetable with complete protein, as complete as meat or dairy. And it was so good!

Mr. President: Publicly release all information around the Gulf disaster and stop offshore drilling
The White House and BP have been hiding the truth about the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf.
The (horrible) picture above is of a "critically endangered" Kemp's Ridley sea turtle. It's just one of many never-before-seen images we've obtained that paints a very different picture than what we were being told at the time. What else about the Gulf disaster is the White House and Big Oil hiding from the public before they finish the settlement?
It's not too late. The government has yet to announce the amount of money BP owes for the damages caused by the disaster.
Tell the White House to publicly release everything they have around the Gulf disaster, make BP pay what they owe and put a stop to ALL new offshore drilling right now.

My son LOVES this new stereo we got him for Christmas & was really easy for him to install himself. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend anyone looking for a stereo that is capable of using w/ your Iphone or Ipad or Ipod should really check this one out!! And the price is reasonable!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Item was exactly like the picture
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No defects
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Item was exactly how it was described in the picture
This is the best deck I have ever had. Installation was very simple and it is amazing to have multiple ways to connect your devices. I don't think I will use the iPhone dock much because it is so much easier to connect it via Bluetooth however it is a nice feature for road trips if someone wants to watch a movie on a small screen and have loud audio. My personal favorite feature is that when you have your phone connected through Bluetooth you can also make calls, answer the phone, skip to the next song, and also view your received and missed calls. I would recommend this item to anyone who is looking for a deck that is compatible with their iPod.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The image is the exact same, however it would be nice to see an angle profile just to see that dimensions of the product.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is great, it was nice to see such a well built item show up on my doorstep.

Tell Her I Love Her Lyrics
Tell Her I Love Her Song Lyrics
Little Sally
Tell her I love her
Tell her I'll always be with her
And I will see her in a better place
Where hope is always new
Ours was a short time
Ours was a love that never bloomed
Yet in that love there lives
A brand new hope
It's calling out to you
Its call is soft and gentle
Tame and fine
It's docile and benign
A pickle in the brine
What did I say? That isn't what I meant
I've lost my sense of scent
I fear my life is spent
Bobby and Little Sally
No one is innocent
Little Sally
No one.
Soupy Sue
"No one is innocent"? What did he mean by that?
Little Sally
I don't know, he started fading in and out after awhile. It was a
miracle he was alive at all, the fall was so horrible.
Tiny Tom
Was he talking about me? How can he say I'm not innocent? Not innocent
of what?
Little Sally
Wait! Wait, please. There's more. He said...
Tell all the people
Tell them the time is always now
Tell them to fight for
What they know is right
I've lost my sense of sight
And yet I see them
I see them standing hand in hand
Bobby and Little Sally
I see them standing hand in hand
and cheek to cheek and gland to gland
There still is hope, I see it, in this land
Little Sally
If only -
Bobby and Little Sally
If only - !
Little Sally
And then he expired.

That's crazy that it seems like such a huge problem and yet it is not being addressed.
For me, it's not much of a problem anymore, as the main reason I used it no longer exists; I used it basically everyday for 2 years at least, one of those years, everything worked perfectly then the upgrade sent it spiraling down, ending the relationship with FaceTime, and the person I used it with almost everday (not blaming FaceTime of course for the demise haha but it did make things frustrating-using ASL when the screen gets frozen/pixelated/booged down(slow) etc is a nightmare)
Now I only use it occasionally and for short periods of time, not hours like I did before. It is strange sometimes it worked fine and sometimes not. Also LTE/4g it works great but then eats up my data, so that's no good!
Hopefully it gets worked out!
Same problem here. As I've tested my 5 with my mother's ipad mini(both IOS6), we got this problem. but when I was testing my wife's 4s(IOS5) with my 5, it is fine. and my wife's 4s(IOS5) with my mother's ipad mini, it is fine as well. so I think this problem happens when you are using facetime between two IOS6 devices.
Facing the same issues with a connection lost message. The strange bit is that the other person can 'hear' the ring tone but there is no sign of audio or video at this end. Apple needs to fix this bug!!! Is someone listening?
My guess is still that the IOS 6 clients are routed to a bunch of servers that can handle the wifi and 3g based streams and these machines are suffering under the load, things like running out of streams resources and issues like that. I expect it will get better only if Apple starts charging for this service, more bucks for more server resources are likely then. That's the problem with offering a free useful service to everyone, it gets overloaded fast!
I was using Facetime intensively on iOS 5 (everyday arround one hour for nearly a year) and was always amazed about the quality in comparison to skype, hangouts or other video services (which I also used intesively in work surroundings). Since iOS 6, independently of being on wifi or on 3g, I get the poor connection message from time to time, actually quite often. Even though this message seems to be new, interestingly it was never necessary on iOS 5 as I never had a problem there.
Apple: Pleeeeeaaaaase fix this issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Facetime was one of the killer features of iOS (I was wondering why not promoted better as the competition was far away before iOS 6).
Did this change happen because of the VirnetX lawsuit?
I too am having the same issue on an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4
Has apple addressed the issue at all?
ok, seems my problems vanished. At least I had now for a few days no more problems. Perhaps it was a server side issue at Apple. I'll come back, when my problems reappear.

How do you find a good roommate?
As we approach the final weeks of apartment-hunting season, there are many renters -- especially young renters -- who are looking for an apartment to share with roommates. Finding a roommate takes a lot of luck and some caution. Choosing a roommate is like having a blind date that lasts for a year. John Moore from PadMatcher gives this advice. What would you add?
Bad roommates; we hope to avoid them, but taking a chance with classified ads may place you in the middle of roommate hell. Before you start searching you need to figure out what suits you best. Here are some tips on finding the perfect roommate.
1. Cleanliness
Im sure weve all had a messy roommate at one point in time, to some people it doesnt matter and to others it can be a nightmare. Figure out ahead of time how much clutter you can tolerate and be honest with how tidy you are. Getting that out of the way is key so you dont get locked into a lease with someone who deserves to be on Hoarders.
2. Atmosphere
What kind of atmosphere are you looking for with a roommate? Are you a recent graduate still looking to go out on the weekends? Or have you landed a serious job that will require quiet downtime and a calming atmosphere? Let your potential roommates know your preferences. You wont be happy with waking up at three in the morning to the sound of your roommate and their friends singing a slurred rendition of Sweet Caroline unless you are inclined to sing along.
3. Area of choice Each Boston neighborhood is different and you should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each. Whether youre a fan of Italian food and hoping to live in the North End or someone who wants to be right by the historic Fenway Park to take in the action of the Red Sox, figuring out what area in Boston suits you best is an easy way to filter out potential roommates. Obviously, being open to living in several areas will make it easier to find someone, but if youre set on a specific place then you shouldnt have a problem finding a roommate with similar interest in the neighborhoods amenities.
4. Price range, occupation, and income
An easy way to tell if someone is going to be able to afford the apartments youre looking at is to know what their occupation is as well as their salary. Some people feel like this is too personal of a question, but its something youll need to get past. You dont want to end up stretching your budget to find out your roommate is living comfortably while youre eating ramen noodles every night.
5. Compatibility and honesty
Of course wed all love to live with our best friends and never have a care in the world, but then we realize our best friends are slobs, always running late and might not be the ideal candidate for a roommate. Thats where compatibility comes into play. The key is to find someone youll get along with, not necessarily a best friend, and who wont give you headaches when it comes to the apartment finding process. To avoid conflicts discuss values that are important to you (i.e. sense of humor, politics, cleanliness). Finding a roommate who shares these values takes a lot of the guesswork out of the process. So be honest, ask tough questions and be prepared to answer everything honestly. Youll find someone who works well with you in no time.
Important questions to ask:
-How often do you clean?
-Do you clean immediately or let the apartment get bad before cleaning it?
-How often do you have visitors?
-What are your weekends like?
-Are you in a relationship? If so, how often are they over?
-What are your pet peeves?

It may not be quite as exciting as Tony Stark perfecting his "Iron Man" superhero suit, but one of Japan's biggest brewers said it has developed the lightest glass beer bottles for the domestic market — and stronger too.
Kirin Brewing Co. said its new bottles weigh approximately 380 grams, or 20% less than most regular bottles currently in use. They still hold 500 milliliters of the amber nectar, but are 1.5 millimeters slimmer than the old ones, said Kirin spokeswoman Akiko Yamada. The company uses a special ceramic coating to strengthen the bottles against impact, she said. Read More »

An exception is a rarely occurring (exceptional!) condition that requires deviation from the program's normal flow. Normally, an exception should not result in total failure, but instead be attended by an exception handler. Exception handling is a built-in construct in many programming languages. Usually, exceptions are handled by unwinding the stack, thus rolling back to a defined state outside the exception's scope, and then invoking a handler routine.
Exception handling is a programming language construct or computer hardware mechanism designed to handle the occurrence of exceptions, special conditions that change the normal flow of program execution. When such conditions occur the programmer can decide to "throw" or "raise" an exception. The thrown exception will propagate up the stack until it's "caught" by an appropriate language construct, which usually contains code that deals with the situation. Unhandled exceptions usually lead to a "crash", i.e. abnormal termination.
Programming languages differ considerably in their support for exception handling (as distinct from error checking; which is normal program flow that codes for responses to contingencies such as unsuccessful termination of invoked operations). In some programming languages there are functions which cannot be safely called on invalid input data or functions which return values which cannot be distinguished from exceptions. For example, in c the
atoi (ASCII to integer conversion) function may return 0 (zero) for any input that cannot be parsed into a valid value. In such languages, the programmer must either perform error checking (possibly through some auxiliary global variable such as C's
errno) or input validation (perhaps using regular expressions) or both.
Exception handling is built upon three keywords: try, catch, and throw.
throw:A program throws an exception when a problem shows up. This is done using a throw keyword.
catch:A program catches an exception with an exception handler at the place in a program where you want to handle the problem. The catch keyword indicates the catching of an exception.
try:A try block identifies a block of code for which particular exceptions will be activated. It's followed by one or more catch blocks.
Assuming a block will raise an exception, a method catches an exception using a combination of the try and catch keywords. A try/catch block is placed around the code that might generate an exception. Code within a try/catch block is referred to as protected code, and the syntax for using try/catch looks like the following:
// protected code
}catch( ExceptionName e1 )
// catch block
}catch( ExceptionName e2 )
// catch block
}catch( ExceptionName eN )
// catch block
You can list down multiple catch statements to catch different type of exceptions in case your try block raises more than one exception in different situations.
Exception safety
Exception safety guarantees, as formalised by David Abrahams, offer a set of contract guidelines that an interface (or operation) offer w.r.t. the state of the program when (or if) an exception occurs.
- No-throw guarantee; the operation is guaranteed not to fail
- Strong exception safety; if the operation fails, the state will be as it was prior to the failure (rollback semantics)
- Basic exception safety; no leaks will occur, and data is left in a valid state (but possibly changed)
- No exception safety; no guarantees are made.
Automated exception handling
Automated exception handling is a computing term referring to the computerized handling of errors. Runtime engines such as those for the Java language or Microsoft .NET lend themselves to an automated mode of exception or error handling. In these environments software errors do not "crash" the operating system or the runtime engine but rather generate exceptions. Recent advances in these runtime engines enables specialized runtime-engine add-on products to provide automated exception handling that is independent of the source code and provides root-cause information for every exception of interest.

In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Feb. 6, 50 percent of Americans said they approve of President Obama's job performance and that he deserves a second term. This is the highest rating he's received since last spring. In addition, Obama's approval rating on handling the economy was 44 percent, its best in 13 months.
