I tried that link and it was no good. I have the equip to do it, but can't get any file(s). if there are time codes, even if they came one at a time, i could sync it back together. If anyone has a good link to multitracked version, I'd love to check it out.

how to best rapidly get to 'industrial' quality?
Expand Messages
- my thought would be to do iterative+incremental development, keeping
the scope as mind-bogglingly small and constrained as possible, to get
a core that is really solid, and to use extensive testing to help
increase the likelihood that it really is solid. and to get real
external users as quickly as possible, to help guide the evolution of
the system. furthermore, to publish as much information in the way of
test results and coverage, so that external folks can be reassured
that getting involved is worthwhile.
any thoughts on that or other approaches?
(like, why do so few people take a sane approach?! :-)

After attending a charity fundraiser, private investigator Smokey Dalton and his powerful girlfriend discover a critically injured woman in his neighbor's apartment, and his neighbor missing. Smokey gets the woman to a nearby hospital which proves to be a mistake: the doctor won't treat the dying woman until she tells him what happened to her.
Smokey works to save the woman and find his neighbor, but everything he does makes the situation worse. Smokey has entered a secret part of America - the arcane rules of a hospital trying to follow the law as well as save lives. None of it makes sense, and all of it threatens everything Smokey believes in.
©2012 Kristine K. Rusch (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"With Stone Cribs, her fourth Smokey Dalton mystery, Kris Nelscott can lay claim to the strongest series of detective novels now being written by an American author." (Salon.com)
"Without the slightest hint of preaching, Nelscott brilliantly illuminates the ugliness of that era - which defines Smokey's world but does not destroy him. Because of Nelscott's strong hand, it also does not overwhelm the drama of this remarkable story." (Publisher's Weekly)
"Like the best of Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer stories, Kris Nelscott's Smokey Dalton novels are infused with an understanding of the social, political, and moral complexities of the community in which they're set. Her characters not only struggle with the contradictions that rule them but are in perpetual conflict with their surroundings. Thus, brutality is no surprise, but then neither is an act of kindness. The most dilapidated building may house a gentle soul or a rabid criminal, and so too may a luxurious home. This type of subtlety treats readers with a level of respect that makes for a rich, rewarding experience, and so it is with Stone Cribs, Nelscott's exceptional new novel." (The Boston Globe)

"Great reading"
Great continuing story, great narrator, can't stop listening. I continue to buy the next book with aspiration but dread reaching the end of the series. Then what will I do?
"I Couldn't Get Beyond the Bad Performance/Reading"
The Narrator/Reader was soooo slow it was sleep-inducing. Also, he emphasized the wrong syllables and words in sentences which made for a really broken performance. I have been trying to listen to this over the last two weeks - tonight I am giving up.
The reader. I couldn't tell if the story was good because the performance was so bad, I could not get past it.

Five days after pleading no contest - which has the same effect as pleading guilty - to a Los Angeles Criminal Court charge of domestic violence against his girlfriend, Jay Mariotti is officially out at AOL Fanhouse and ESPN.
In the immediate wake of his girlfriend's attorney alleging that Mariotti struck his client in the face, the former ESPN Around The Horn panelist confirmed on Twitter Tuesday that he was no longer in the employ of AOL. Last week I reported that Mariotti would not return to ESPN and that his hasty plea bargain was designed as a last ditch effort to save his job at Fanhouse.
Following his court appearance last week, Mariotti attorney Nick Hanna called his client's case resolution, "a no contest plea to a low-level misdemeanor."
Attorney Leonard Levine, who represented Mariotti's girlfriend, told the LOS ANGELES TIMES that Hanna characterizing his client's crime as "low-level" was, "demeaning to women who face domestic abuse.
Levine added of Mariotti to the L.A. Times:
Mariotti struck his girlfriend in the face, which resulted in a visible bruise. Mariotti also grabbed and pulled his girlfriend by the hair, destroyed her personal property, and attempted to prevent her from escaping and calling police, according to Levine. Ultimately, he said, a bystander witnessed what was going on and called police.
Mariotti's highly-compensated career as lead columnist for Fanhouse and celebrity ESPN personality imploded after he was arrested on August 21 in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony domestic abuse. He was later released on $50,000 bond.
Immediately after Mariotti's arrest, the LOS ANGELES TIMES reported, "Police were called to the apartment and found his girlfriend, who has not been identified, with cuts and bruises."
Subsequently Mariotti was charged with seven misdemeanors relating to domestic violence against his girlfriend. After his plea bargain last week, Mariotti was sentenced to complete a year-long domestic violence rehabilitation course, 40 hours community service and three years probation.

This is not a criticism of Sarah Palin. Governor Palin was herself the target of a liberal media machine desperate to see Barack Obama elected to the White House. Agree with her or not, she was elected a mayor, a governor and was on a national ticket – certainly accomplishments few others have achieved. Liberals have taken the personal and derogatory attack machine used against Sarah Palin and are attempting to turn it into mass production destruction of GOP women.
Notably, the Republican women under attack today are leading their states and the nation in markedly different and better directions than under Democrat leadership. For instance, Governors Falin and Martinez, both of whom are up for re-election this year, are among the most popular governors in the country with approval ratings in the 60-percent plus range, a testament to their policies and governing style.
The notion that Republican women can lead and succeed is anathema to liberals and threatening to their core. They have pinned their hopes on the "women's vote" and part of the strategy is denigrating conservative females who threaten that electoral strategy.
It is a form of bullying, the implication that any woman must be stupid if she dares to disagree with liberal dogma. And it's not just Republican women leaders who are attacked – it's millions of women who believe that government takes too much, dare to support pro-life causes, or want greater accountability in their schools.
Democrats hypocritically express their desire for more "respect" and "fairness" for women. The most popular word in 2014 seems to be "equity." But they do not extend that fairness and respect to Republican women. They need to be exposed for their hypocrisy and called to task for their own unfair treatment. Gender equality is a myth even in Liberal La-La Land.

Screw at first sight! (Hotel guest fucked in elevator)
Such a crap can only happen to me! As I came out my hotel room, because I thought someone had knocked at my door, the damn door already dropped and I was standing on the floor wearing only a towel. How embarrassing now I had to cross through the hotel, to the Reteption get an other card in replacement. I entered the elevator but I was not alone in there thats why my little trip took that long. Thanks to God towels can perfektly be used to wipe off cum on my face, Hehehe!

Secrets of Bologna by INVIV0Watch
just wonderful
Reno Canal
Past the bridge of the respiratory Malcontenti, Piella and Guglielmo Oberdan, the channel of the Rhine sharp turn to the left inn an internal light well, formerly included in the carmelite convent of San Martino. From this point the canal was called the Moline for the mills for grain distributed along its course, which continues through the streets Alessandrini and Capo of Lucca.
The channels since the XII in Bologna were used for food production and for navigation beyond the city walls. The economy of Bologna experienced a flourishing development over the centuries thanks to the many industries that used the hydraulic force of the general channels. The channel of Moline, who hails from Chiusa di Casalecchio fed mills, spinning silk, sawmills and hammers.
This is what is written on the sign of this channel. I hope I have translated well.
Great, now I'll have to go there.
I like this one - I had no idea there are canals in Bologna!!!
My uncles live there, and when I went to visit them this July, they showed me that channel! Did you know that Bologna won a war with Venice? A NAVAL war! hahahaha Amazing, isn't it?
Great photo!
Very nice shot, I love it! Actually, the hidden canals are one of the "Bologna's seven secrets"
Bologna??? I live near bologna and i have never see this! O_O
Cool shot in anyway, at the first thought i thinked was Venise!
Cool shot in anyway, at the first thought i thinked was Venise!
Me too... And I lived here for six years!
nostalgic view... i was living in Bologna for two years, and when i saw by the first time this "canal street" i thinked that this is damagaed by underground street! i only after i saw that this part of the on very imporant for city communicacation in the medieval times canal, that now is subterranian... it's near the piazza 8 augusto, but it's not very easy to find becouse it's only two point from wear it's visible... i want go visit Bologna again! this city remine with me forever...
Magical... *-*
And here I thought bologna was just a food... Nice picture.
I do not remember why there is this channel. At one time the area where there is now Bologna, but also other cities of the Po Valley, was a marshy land, and with the passing of the years has been drained. I think this channel is what is left of the marshy land. Next to the canal, where you made the picture, if I remember correctly, there was a sign that explained something about this channel. Bologna is full of amazing places and streets. I myself have not seen even half of the city. In addition to this, Bologna is known throughout Italy, and even outside, to have the oldest University and the facilities are now being used, available to students and also for tourists.
I'm envious of the people who owns that balcony.
Is very cute, but those balconies are very old. I would not trust just because I'm afraid that can break. I 'll tell you because I always pass by that way when I have to go to college.
a place for assassins creed
infact a part Assassin Creed 2 was in city just 60 km away from Bologna. That city is called Forlì
Real World Beauty
im so stupid...i thought for about 2 seconds that this was your interpretation of a city on top of a piece of bologna T_T
Because I was eating it.
For those 2 seconds I was like staring at my bologna sandwich feeling kinda bad.
Because I was eating it.
For those 2 seconds I was like staring at my bologna sandwich feeling kinda bad.
goddammit I'm italian and I didn't know that!
Nice framing
oh wow! everything about this is so alive and amazing
wow, I didn't know there were canals in bologna, mind I only saw a small segment of it so not improbable. Lovely photo, really captures the essence of the city.
there's a city named bologna?
Oh hey, this city was mentioned in the latest "Heroes of Olympus" book. A couple of mischievous, thieving dwarves that had apparently once pranked Hercules lived there.
Sounds like a cool book
"Heroes of Olympus" is the sequel series to "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," in case you don't know. It's based on Greek and Roman mythology and focuses on a bunch of modern-day demigods going to camp, fighting monsters, and trying to save the world from ancient evil deities rising up to destroy Western Civilization.
So vibrant!
Great colors in harmony
I see you go a lot around Italy I've been living in Bologna for 3 years now... gave me some nightmares, especially at night when the sky - which is SUPPOSED to be blue/black - is red instead. I'm glad you managed to shoot this with a beautiful light in, I guess, a beautiful day!
About the secrets... did you manage to find the others? I reckon you paid a visit to Piazza Maggiore... I hope you got chance to reach the intersection that transmits the sound from one corner to the other, it's way too cool!
By the way, love the colours, your pictures are always so inspiring thanks for sharing!

The front page of Sunday's Boston Globe had two articles (of a total of five on the front page) about efforts to improve social outcomes by gathering evidence about what works and what doesn't. The top article on the front page was headlined "Hospitals size up the lessons of Marathon attacks." Trauma care for Marathon bombing victims was, on the whole, magnificent – not a single person who arrived in an emergency room alive died in the hospital – but nonetheless the receiving hospitals are now in the process of after-action reviews looking through the details of what happened, which will produce reports that will be shared with hospitals around the country.
At this point, it looks like the main recommendations will involve quicker use of social media as an early warning system (perhaps by the police), improvements in how off-duty employees who simply show up to help can be better deployed, and improvements in the process for identifying victims who arrive at the hospital with no ID.
There was also an article on the front page called "Dartmouth tackles binge drinking culture," about efforts at the college in an isolated New Hampshire town with freezing winters to reduce the binge drinking that made the school the inspiration for the movie "Animal House." The basic method they are using is to try a lot of small changes – various kinds of meetings with at-risk students, for example -- and track results to see what works and what doesn't. Some of the ideas stem from tactics that former Dartmouth President Jim Young Kim, a public health expert who is now head of the World Bank, had seen show promise in slowing the spread of AIDS or tuberculosis in developing countries. In the last two years, the number of students admitted to local hospitals with alcohol overdoses has declined from 80 to 31.
"Evidence" in government was once limited to partisan-sponsored studies that coincidentally supported the preferred conclusions of the interest group sponsoring them, or very lengthy and expensive randomized controlled trials to determine the impact of various government programs. In recent years, the range of techniques available to gather evidence has dramatically expanded to include quick experiments about practical short-term interventions, or even less rigorous but still potentially helpful methods of gathering evidence (such as benchmarking across different government offices). The arrival of more social psychologists, trained in experimental methods, into public policy and administration programs – and even government organizations such as the Behavioral Insight Unit in the UK government – means that this approach will become more and more the future.
As these articles suggest, this approach is becoming common in efforts to deal with social problems outside government. Sure beats a lot of the other alternative approaches for deciding on policy and management approaches. This needs to become a normal part of the toolkit for public policy and management.

In an op-ed for Business Insider, the GOP presidential candidate called for "the federal government must put its own house in order, prioritizing to reflect the urgency and importance of protecting key databases and communications."
There is a "born yesterday" quality to current-day discussions of "evidence-based" program decisions (cf. Stigler's Law). At least since the Johnson Administration, social science investigators (I knew of Abt Associates, but surely other analytical groups) were engaged. These evaluations may not have met the standard of randomized double-blind studies (also, not a 21st century invention), but they were far from seat-of-the-pants affairs. Cost-benefit analyses, which have been used for decades, ideally are also grounded in evidence. In science & engineering contracting it has been common (given adequate funding) to support two or three approaches in a Phase 1, and then "downselect" to the most promising approach.
I don't argue that nothing is new under the sun, only that a little less breast-beating, a little more, humility, and less implied denigration of rank-and-file government analysts is in order.
I get the impression that most "evidence-based" programs will not be financial big-ticket items (perhaps the total of health care studies will be a major exception). The multibillion dollar busts I know of were "sold" using "evidence," but the "evidence" was incomplete or not as strong as program advocates and potential contractor organizations claimed (see article on the border security fence in the August issue of National Security magazine for a recent example). If "evidence-based" decision-making is to have real impact, to be more than a fad that's applied to budgetary small-bore programs, it must be courageously and rigorously applied to complex big-ticket items.
Al, I don't know the evidence well enough -- my understanding is that there is such variance in programs that go under the name "Head Start" that the evidence is some kinds work, and some don't -- but yes, let me suggest the revolutionary point that if we are pretty sure an intervention doesn't work, we should stop spending money on it.
Does this mean we should cancel Head Start? I don't think evidence and results are *always* the point . ..

Very clean hostel and plenty of space in the dorm for your luggage. Excellent wifi all over the place.

It wasn't nice.

small dorm, but clean and very well located. amazing ambiance!
Wombats City Hostel Vienna - at the NaschmarktVienna, Austria
Amazing hostel! Staff very helpul, the room is very big and confortable. really close to the subway station. For me, the only problem about the Wombats (In Viena and in Berlin) is the linen. It's not very easy to put it on the bed, specially if you arrive late and you bed is on top of the bunker.
Hostel MilesPrague, Czech Republic
Very basic hostel, but it's ok if you're not looking for parties. Attention to the directions: thee hostel is not located beside a Sbarro, as shown on the picture.
Good Bye Lenin Hostel - Revolution!Krakow, Poland
I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm and it is really big! A lot of space, big lockers, confortable bed. The breakfast is ok, the staff very nice and a good location - not really in the main square, but 10 minutes walk. I would definitly stay ther again.
Wombats City Hostel BerlinBerlin, Germany
Nice hostel. Big and proprer bedroom, helpful staff, two steps from the subway station. Pillows could be better and the linen are not easy to put on the bed.
Sumac Chaska HostelOllantaytambo, Peru
Beds and staff are good. They give you a breakfast to go if you leave too early. Bathroom is terrible.
Pariwana Hostel CuscoCusco, Peru
One of the best hostels I stayed.
El Viajero Cartagena HostelCartagena, Colombia
Nice bedroom and breakfast, excellent location, but poor security. No keys on the dorms. Showers often dirty.

very clean, big bedroom, small kitchen, poor breakfast. a little far for the metro station.
Fulano BackpackersBogota, Colombia
Nice place. Poor breakfast, but ok.
Chelsea International HostelNew York, USA
Staff was not nice, wifi only in common area and until 11 pm, never working properly. Breakfast very poor. No ambiance, only a basement / kitchen. There is not even a couch, if you want to realx and read a book. Very unconfortable. Room was ok. Small, but clean. Nice bathroom.
St Christopher's at The WinstonAmsterdam, Netherlands
I was located in a room (female dorm) which the entrancy is outside the hostel. I didn't find it very safe. And there is no elevator/lift for this bedroom - only a looong and unconfortable stairs. It was very disapponting because "LIFT" is the first thing I look for when choosing a hostel. Staff was not kind and not very helpful. The location is right on the limit of the red district. There are only the bar/restaurant as commom area, so you can't find a quiet place to stay.
YHA London Oxford StreetLondon, England
No free breakfast nor internet. Big room. Clean bathroom.
Plug-Inn Boutique HostelParis, France
The room was very small - but all apartments are tiny in Paris. Nice breakfast.

Pirate crews not only elected their captains on the basis of universal pirate suffrage, but they also regularly deposed them by democratic elections if they were not satisfied with their performance. Like the Berbers, or the US constitution, pirates didn't just rely on democratic elections to keep their leaders under check. Though the captain of the ship was in charge of battle and strategy, pirate crews also used a separate democratic election to elect the ship's quartermaster who was in charge of allocating booty, adjudicating disputes and administering discipline. Thus they had a nascent form of separation of powers.

Chinese Lessons, White House Embraces Makers, DC Codes Freed, and Malware Numbers
- What American Startups Can Learn From the Cutthroat Chinese Software Industry — It follows that the idea of "viral" or "organic" growth doesn't exist in China. "User acquisition is all about media buys. Platform-to-platform in China is war, and it is fought viciously and bitterly. If you have a Gmail account and send an email to, for example, NetEase163.com, which is the local web dominant player, it will most likely go to spam or junk folders regardless of your settings. Just to get an email to go through to your inbox, the company sending the email needs to have a special partnership." This entire article is a horror show.

[…] [A] US judiciary subcommittee on FISAAA in 2008 stated that the Fourth Amendment has no relevance to non-US persons. Americans, think about how you'd feel keeping your email, CRM, accounts, and presentations on Russian or Chinese servers given the trust you have in those regimes. That's how the rest of the world feels about American-provided services. Which jurisdiction isn't constantly into invasive snooping, yet still has great bandwidth?

- How to Write a Good Bio (Scott Berkun) — something we all have to do, and rarely do well the first time. Excellent advice.
- Scumbag Steve's Advice for Annoying Facebook Girl — Some people can't distinguish the internet from real life. There are people who refuse to believe my name isn't Steve and that I am not really the scumbag (well not all the time, that is). Just remember who you are. And that you know you're a decent kid. Blake (the guy whose image was adopted as "Scumbag Steve" by meme-makers) was 21 when he wrote that, and it remains the best advice for anyone dealing with sudden visibility in the public eye.
- The Battle for Obama's Tech (The Verge) — same old story: the software that got Obama elected won't be released. Instead it'll atrophy and have to be rewritten in four years' time. How do I know this? The morons at the Democratic Party did it with Kerry's run and again for Obama's first campaign. It's a choice the OFA developers warn could not only squander the digital advantage the Democrats now hold, but also severely impact their ability to recruit top tech talent in the future.
- Precog Software (Wired) — researchers assembled a dataset of more than 60,000 crimes, including homicides, then wrote an algorithm to find the people behind the crimes who were more likely to commit murder when paroled or put on probation. Berk claims the software could identify eight future murderers out of 100. The software parses about two dozen variables, including criminal record and geographic location. The type of crime and the age at which it was committed, however, turned out to be two of the most predictive variables. […] The software aims to replace the judgments parole officers already make based on a parolee's criminal record and is currently being used in Baltimore and Philadelphia. I look forward to the study comparing human judgement from parole officers against algorithmic judgement.

Expect a big bang of 3D printer innovation, and massive price-drops, in the years to come. (via BoingBoing)
- GraphChi — can run very large graph computations on just a single machine, by using a novel algorithm for processing the graph from disk (SSD or hard drive). Programs for GraphChi are written in the vertex-centric model, proposed by GraphLab and Google's Pregel. GraphChi runs vertex-centric programs asynchronously (i.e changes written to edges are immediately visible to subsequent computation), and in parallel. GraphChi also supports streaming graph updates and removal of edges from the graph.

Respond to Review of Reunion Cafe
by anarchistanimal
Review: This little restaurant has a family-run feel. The menu has a mix of Lao, Thai and Japanese dishes. It's a quiet place on a quiet street (at night anyway), a short walk out of the tourist ghetto. I had a papaya salad and a vegetable stir-fry. They were good and fresh but extremely spicy. The workers are friendly and there's English on the menu and pictures. Prices are very inexpensive - dishes are between 10,000 and 20,000 kip.

Green garden waste temporary sites
To provide you with improved local services and to reduce traffic congestion at the reuse and recycling centres, we operate five green garden waste collection sites every weekend from April until November. All the waste collected at these sites will be composted.
The sites are now closed.
Alternatively, why not compost at home? You can also dispose of garden waste through our collection service.
These sites will only receive bagged, green garden waste from residents with a Bromley waste permit. Please do not put your garden waste in builders' sacks, as these are too heavy to be lifted safely.
No commercial garden waste will be accepted.
|Yes please
|No thanks
|Grass cuttings
|Tree trunks and large branches
|Prunings (no bigger than 2 inches round)
|Soil and rubble
|Dead plants
|Garden furniture, flower pots and plastic debris
The scheme operates every weekend from April 4 to November 29 at the following times and locations:
Saturdays: 11am - 4pm
Bromley: Norman Park, Hook Farm Road (off Bromley Common)
Green St Green: Salt Depot, Shire Lane Spur (off Sevenoaks Road)
St Paul's Cray: Cotmandene Crescent car park(off Chipperfield Road)
Sundays: 8am - 12noon
Biggin Hill: Charles Darwin School, Jail Lane
Beckenham: Unicorn Primary School car park (Creswell Drive off South Eden Park Road).
The five weekend garden waste sites operate on either a Saturday or Sunday but not on both days. The sites have been allocated a Saturday or Sunday opening based on the most popular day for the highest number of visits at each individual site.
No green garden waste can be accepted outside these operating times. Sites will be closely monitored and all fly tippers will be prosecuted.
The service is free to Bromley residents who take their waste permit or a recent utility bill.

As soon as the Tunisian elections results were announced with Nidaa Tounes overtaking Ennahdha party, celebrations of the "Islamists'" defeat at the hands of the "secularists" got underway across the media in France and many other western capitals.
Read Whole Story
A strong argument can be made that Muslim Americans are an important community with resources to catalyze the progress of majority-Muslim societies.
It's time that Saudi Arabia antes up and empowers its women to show the world they fear not the choice of powerful women.
When will we understand that Israel's security problem is everyone's security problem, that a threatened Jew is a threatened Muslim?
How many scholars of religions also run a film company? And how many members of the Council on Foreign Relations can claim an MFA in fiction from the ...
Until moderate Muslims find each other, 'find the other hand,' and start a global response, nothing less than a cacophony of figurative clapping, we will remain as we are now: voiceless.
As a Christian who worships the Shabbat, I believe Ramadan is a wonderful way for Christians to remember their Muslim brothers and sisters

Carbon Offset Purchasing Guide ReleasedWritten by Paul Burman
The Responsible Purchasing Network (RPN) - a project of the Center for a New American Dream - has released its purchasing guide for carbon offsets. RPN had contacted Carbonfund.org as a nonprofit provider who has worked with over 1,200 businesses & organizations. The guide is a comprehensive source of information that is particularly useful for businesses and institutions that are looking into offsetting their carbon footprint. The guide empowers readers by outlining the framework for what makes a quality carbon offset, the standards, third-party verification and auditing. Carbon offset standards like the Voluntary Carbon Standard, the Climate Acton Reserve, the Gold Standard and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards ensure that projects meet the most stringent additionality and permanence requirements - thus making the projects real and reliable. Unlike other offset guides out there today this guide makes no attempt to rank providers. Many carbon offset provider rankings are based on subjective and/or arbitrary criteria that may or may not have anything to do with whether an offset is real or of high quality. Click here to view the guide.

The Carbon Offset Survey Says...Written by Paul Burman
EcoSecurities is about to launch the second iteration of their Carbon Management and Offsetting Trends Survey Results new and improved for 2009. The survey participants included 280 companies and 31 carbon offset organizations from all over the world to gain insights into green purchasing patterns and important decision making factors. Carbonfund.org participated in the survey that is slated for public download on September 29th. Carbonfund.org is honored to be a top recognized carbon offset provider in the survey. Some key insights from the study is that interest in green issues is still high despite the recession, with 76% of companies surveyed having implemented or are developing a carbon plan and 60% of companies have measured their carbon footprint. But North American companies are lagging behind, with only 54% of companies surveyed having completed a carbon footprint assessment. Other highlights from the survey include:
- Over three quarters of companies have implemented or have started developing a carbon management strategy
- Two thirds of respondents have already offset their carbon emissions or will consider offsetting in the future
- Environmental benefits (91%) were highlighted as one of the main motivations for interest in carbon offsets, closely followed by carbon neutrality and marketing (89%)
- 72% of participants nominated the US as the most desirable geographic region for purchasing offsets; this may reflect the desire for domestic projects as 56% of the respondents came from North America. Africa and South America were also rated as highly desirable locations for emission reduction projects
- Respondents prefer renewable energy projects above any other project type with solar scoring 92% and wind 86%

Car Free Day DC - Good Opp to Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can'tWritten by Ivan Chan
In the DC metro area, it's Car Free Day, encouraging commuters to consider alternatives to driving. If more people biked, took transit or walked, not only would it free up some room on the highways and roads, it would reduce air pollution and encourage exercise. In fact, the DC metro area has some of the lowest air quality in the country. Although as a region DC has some avid runners and great trails, more people could take advantage of the area's outdoor offerings especially on weekends. The events are in conjunction with World Car Free Day, each Sept. 22. Learn more about the events around Car Free Day here. Also, you can offset your carbon footprint with Carbonfund.org in support of outstanding projects that are reducing carbon emissions in the US and abroad.

Cape Wind Gets New Life as Interior Secretary ApprovesWritten by Paul Burman
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="406" caption="Wind turbines in Europe viewed close up"][/caption] The Cape Wind renewable energy project has been approved by Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, clearing the latest hurdle for the project. Since 2001, Cape Wind - an offshore wind farm proposal located just off the Massachusetts coast - has struggled through multiple battles in the courtroom and in the media from local residents including some heavy hitters like members of the Kennedys. The privately financed project will feature 130 wind turbines spread over 25 square miles off the coast of Massachusetts that will generate up to 468 megawatts and average 182 megawatts of power over the course of the year. At its peak production, the turbines will power 700,000 houses - or about 75% of the electricity demanded at Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island. The project is expected to create several hundred construction jobs and cut carbon dioxide emissions from conventional power plants by up to 700,000 tons annually. That is equivalent to removing 175,000 cars from the road for a year. The controversy with the project has centered around the potential environmental and aesthetic impacts that the turbines will have on the historic Cape Cod area. Located 5 miles off the coast on a shoal, some residents including members of the Kennedys are concerned about views. Extensive underwater environmental impact assessments have been undertaken, with more to come; they have thus far determined that the turbine bases will have minimal impacts on the local environments. There's still no assurance yet that the turbines will be built as more lawsuits are expected; however, the Interior Department's approval is important news for US wind and clean energy development.

Canada Commits to 17% CO2 ReductionsWritten by Paul Burman
The Canadian Government has officially informed the United Nations (UN) that the country is committed to reducing emissions 17% by 2020. The UN requested that all participating countries at the climate meetings in Copenhagen commit to a 17% carbon emissions reduction target from a 2005 baseline. Canada's carbon footprint in 2006 was measured at 544,680,000 metric tons of CO2. Meaning that a 17% reduction would result in about 92,595,600 fewer tons of CO2 emissions every year for the nation of about 34 million. This is not the first time that Canada has made a strong commitment to emissions reductions to the UN. Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, committing the nation to CO2 reductions from a 1990 baseline. In spite of this commitment, Canadian emissions continued to rise to an extent. The US has pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent by 2020 from 2005 levels, though the commitment is contingent on passing legislation by Congress.

Cutting Campus Food Waste & Global Warming EmissionsWritten by Ivan Chan
About one-quarter of all the food prepared in the U.S. gets thrown out, according to the EPA. That's 31 million tons of food each year, much of which decomposes in landfills to produce methane—a heat-trapping gas about 23 times more potent than CO2. The foodservice company Sodexo is creating awareness about food waste among college students, linking waste to climate change. Sodexo's campaign, "Stop Wasting Food," is a follow-up to an Earth Day campaign in 2008 which resulted in 340 campuses eliminating the use of food trays. The current campaign urges students to take only what they can eat at campus dining facilities. Tom Post, Sodexo's president of campus services, said, "We are so careful to source and serve food for our customers in a sustainable way but if locally-sourced food ends up in a landfill then we're simply creating another environmental problem. The good news is that by simply thinking before we eat, we can trash our wasteful habits and dramatically reduce food waste today." In addition to methane from food waste, it entails disposal and therefore carbon emissions from transporting the waste. Food waste is also wasted resources. To reduce waste, Sodexo said it had helped National Geographic reduce water consumption by 18 percent in its cafeteria between 2006 and 2009. The company also assisted Cox Communications with improved recycling and composting, cutting waste by 80 percent.

Obviously, Bedard's health is the big issue. If Bedard is healthy, everyone knows he will be good. He had a 3.67 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP last year when he pitched, which is pretty good, but not what he had done in his career year.
My point, and what has gotten almost zero play in fantasy circles is that Seattle dramatically upgraded their outfield defense this offseason and Bedard should benefit hugely. They went from one of the worst LF in baseball in Ibanez to Endy Chavez. If you look at Fangraphs, you'll see that Ibanez cost his team 25 runs while Endy saved his team about 15. That's a 40 run swing.
Similarly, the Seattle RF disaster of Balentin/Reed/Bloomquist, cost the team about 15 runs last year. Replacing them with Franklin Guitierrez, who saved 25 runs in only 1,000 innings is another 40 run swing. Factor in that Endy and Guitierrez didn't play full seasons last year (and Ichiro adds more value in RF than CF, and even if we assume all things being equal from last year - Seattle should let up about 80-100 fewer runs than last year just because of those two defensive upgrades.
That's about a 15% drop in runs (and logically, hits) and would bring their team ERA down from from 4.73 to about 4.15. Since Bedard is a pretty extreme flyball pitcher, he'll benefit much more than Felix (an extreme groundball pitcher - Betancourt is poor defensively / Branyan stinks while Beltre and Lopez are gold glovers). But even if you just reduce his ERA by 15% and WHIP by 10% (the defense can't reduce walks),
For Bedard, you get an amazing season with a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 whip. So if you assume he's healthy, given that massive, massive improvement (they could seriously win 5 gold gloves) in defense, Bedard should be an absolute monster this year. All he has to do is be able to throw every 5 days.
I realize I took some liberties with the numbers and there are more things at play, but the point is adding two elite outfielders (Seattle probably has 3 of the top 5 fielding OF in baseball right now) behind an extreme flyball pitcher like Bedard is going to mean magic.
Get him in every single league you can.
