Look past the hype
Some may have heard of Radio 4's Roger Harrabin. He's been reporting on the climate for nearly 30 years. His reports have always been worth listening too because he is a sober sceptic, not just of the pronouncements of climate change (and human influence) deniers but also of ultra-green evangelicals and their unsubstantiated claims.
Sparked by the "Climategate" emails fiasco last year he's just presented two "Uncertain Climate" programmes in which he studied the current state of play within the scientific, political and media cummunities and two threads (amongst all the hot air) came through.
Firstly that, even though the overwhelming scientific evidence is that global warming is taking place and we have had a large hand in it, climate modelling is still in its infancy and so scientific certainty over when something horrible is going to happen is an impossiblity. And secondly that this uncertainty has prompted the growth of the 2 counter-cultures to the point where hundreds of scientists with decades of experience are spending more of their time repeating the message and battling counter-claims than actually exploring and testing the climate.
This battle is played out on this and other forums and not made any easier by government and regulatory bodies flying in the hot air layer with pronouncements over policy and how to count carbon leaving us, the punters, to try and settle on what is actully important and whether it's in our (personal & global) interests to do anything about it.
A good example of the hype blinding some basic commonsense is a recent exchange on Any Answers www.accountingweb.co.uk/anyanswers/bloomsbury-professional in which the poster made the point that, in order to save on environmental waste, they had tried to convince a publishing house to send only the CDs of their publication without the need for the books as well.
The mention of "environmental friendly" was enough to prompt the following response:
"Forget the "green" rubbish. You're starting out in business, you don't have the time or money to worry about "green" nonsense. Besides what hapens if your computer goes bang? I guarantee THAT will be the day you need to consult the manuals. And if all else fails, they look good in a bookcase when clients come to your office.
You're not going to save a rainforests, not even one tree, maybe a small branch - so dont worry about it."
I could write a book commenting on this however that would just perpetuate the hot air layer. What gets missed in such an exchange is that of course it makes sense to get this sort of information from an electronic source rather than a "once off" paper source but the Green motive was the wrong way (for this person) to hear it.
But just in case the message is still lost: The author writes his or her commentary on Capital Alloawnces into the Word doc which is emailed to the publishing house that then arranges for it to be printed using paper and ink (that has been manufactured, processed and shipped to the printers) and transported around the country to warehouses and then via carrier to your door, by which time the author may well be correcting or adding to the commentary for the next print run in 3-12 months time.
The text from the word doc is copied & pasted onto a website and corrected/expanded tomorrow.
Whether running a home or business the abundance of resources in "The West" has made us lazy. During war & famine we are forced to look at alternative more effecient ways of doing things and benefit from it but, during peace, we get fat but don't have to.
I come at this from the environmental side with cost cutting and effeciency as a by-product but, as an accountant, promote it to clients (and suppliers) from the cost cutting and effeciency side.
Interesting post Paul.
It seems symptomatic of the short sightedness of the majority of human beings.
We all know we have to change what we do, stop destroying forests, wasting energy and such, but will anything be done about it? Probably not until it is too late.
Similar to smoking in that respect, people know the dangers of cigarettes but proceed to smoke 40 a day and only give up when they are at serious risk of illness or in some sad cases when it is too late.
I may be pessimistic in my viewpoint, but unfortunately I don't think people care enough about the planet on which they live to look at it from a holistic perspective.
A case in point is the fact that we are on target to destroy all of the rainforests in the next 100 years. Deforestation will unfortunately continue as we see these natural resources to have more value dead than alive.
It is painfully obvious that we as a species are using more resources than the world can produce and the eco system which we inhabit will not be able to sustain us for a great deal longer, unless we make some real changes, not only to our consumption but the way we look at the world .
Hi Doug
Given the topic of the group I want to avoid slipping into the whole environmental debate, as I say above until something happens or doesn't happen or until science opens a new door, it's pretty much polarised and overblown. This is the same situation that Richard Dawkins (he of "The God Delusion" fame) find himself with people "of faith", but at leaset climateologists are not being asked to prove or disprove god (yet!).
Given what I've written elsewhere I clearly get what you say but, as in an idication of the problem, will pick you up on the way in which you (and I) have put it across.
Saying that people in general are shortsighted will invite the response "I don't think I am; and how is it you think you have better vision than me?", although probably not as politely as that. What's needed is a decent pair of glasses from the experts with evidence that they do, in fact, help see further than the end of next week, so back to square 1 and the waiting game (ie for something to happen).
Similarly, "we all know we have to change"......No "we" don't! etc etc.
This is why, in the meantime, those of us who believe that there really is something to do must find other ways of getting it going and for me, that's looking at commonsense stuff like "the country's in a mess so anything you can do to stop wasting stuff, cut costs, make life more effecient, feel better about what you do, today etc etc" will start it rolling and, as with reclycling and searching out local produce in Tescos, soon becomes habit.
When looking at business sustainability, there is no need for accountants to know about, or even believe the science. It is actually far more interesting and fulfilling than tax and accounts compliance to examine, as an outsider, how a business operates and make sensible or even "a bit out of the box" suggestions to clients over how they might do things better (any auditors recognise this stuff?).
Most of my business clients are "micro" and even having a 30 minute chat about what they are doing and what they are planning (or not) is worth its weight in goodwill, after all who else can they chat to and get a valuable response?
Once that approach becomes a habit, we can look at the boring stuff that is coming, ie the number crunching of converting the use of electricity, gas, fuel, waste into KGs of CO2 and reporting it with the accounts.
To whet everyone's appetite there's a great (?) spreadsheet to enjoy on: www.defra.gov.uk/environment/business/reporting/conversion-factors.htm
Finally, you think you are pessmistic, have you read any of James Lovelock's books? The last one is pretty much the same as your smoking analogy where the doctor says "you have 6 months to live". Depends on your outlook, some might see that as pessimistic, whereas others see it as a chance to enjoy life while it lasts.
Climate change proof
I'd say how can you scientifically prove climate change? As I understand it scientific proof requires numerous experiments, keeping conditions the same to replicate the same outcomes. We only have one planet and even if/when climate change occurs can it be proved that that is not a natural occurance?
My moral argument would be that actually we have no right to incur the risk. No-one alive now has a right to take actions for which future generations may have to pay the price.
The problem with individual action (as I tell myself whenever I use my car) is that if an individual alone takes action, and everyone else just carrys on as usual, then that one action can make no difference. lots of seperate individual actions are required.
Paul makes a very good point about couching 'sustainable' behaviour in terms of the common sense benefits to the individual. More 'micro' arguments may also be more easily understood and accepted e.g. keep the trees, they provide shelter, stabilise the soil, prevent flooding etc. Just don't mention 'climate change'.
Late but may be interesting
Paul, you're right I listen to Radio 4 all day and love the balanced opinions of those who aren't trying to peddle some theory or line their pockets.
Whilst at University I read Biology and Sports Science. I barely stayed awake during the Biology lectures due to early morning swim sessions. But one I did manage to keep my lids open for was the lecture on the "Mass Extinctions".
I remember it clearly, the planet has been through its period of extinction, Devonian, Jurassic, Tirassic etc. We are merely in a cycle of the planet heating up again, with the inevitable action. According to my lecturer at the time he estimated that the planet was due for the same fate today. Give or take 60,000 years.
So that was 10yrs ago, still a macimum of 59,990 years to go.
In my opinion as we inhabit this planet we all have responsibilties and duty of care. We extend this to our children, friends, colleagues on a daily basis. Why not our very planet. I do not believe that what we do will impact or change the natural course, but by being responsible we pass this on to the next generation in a slightly better position then we found it.
I will bet a substantial sum of money that the Woolly Mammoth did not get together in Davos to discuss what should be done.
What's going to drive business?
I saw Roger Harrabin at the Economist's "After Copenhagen" conference last year where he was chairman. He was very good. One of the interesting points that came out of the talks was that it is incredibly difficult to motivate businesses based on the "global warming" idea - it's just too abstract and doesn't really drive business. It was the potential efficiencies and cost savings that really drove business to become more environmentally conscious and act on it. Of course, these were all corporates but talking to SME's, I think the same applies. It was interesting to hear one company say they were cutting emissions by 25% but planning to double in size in the next 10 years. Surely an increase in emissions?
Another interesting point was that for a lot of companies, the vast majority of energy use associated with their products is when it leaves them and goes to the consumer, so changing consumer habits was far more significant. Seems saving paper and turning down our radiators may not be "green rubbish" after all.
You woke me up
Many thanks Pa (R?) & Simon, it has been lonely on this part of AccountingWeb, in fact, ironically, it feels like we are the site's ice cap and, like the Russians in the real world, people will only start to become aware of us when things get a bit hotter?
By nature I am a "doer" rather than a "sit back and watcher" and have to hold back my impatience when things just stand still however as the weeks and months go on I'm more convinced that the only way to influence change is a slow but persistant drip-drip, ie by practicing a sustainable approach without preaching it. Given how many people and organisations I come into contact with in the real as well as the virtual world something will rub off.
The non-eco approach, ie cost cutting and effeciency, is the prime route however it can be obstructed quite easily by a comment such as "yes I know running a Smart Car will save me thousands and make city travel easier, but my Range Rover is one of the only pleasures I have left". A clumsy example I know but there are many more that illustrate the desire people have for "more" even though they don't need it.
This inevitably leads on to the tricky subject of growth, well illustrated by Simon's example (remind me of the company). There are ways to grow a business whilst reducing environmental and social impact but it all depends on what it is that's growing.
A few months back Sainsbury's announced that they were to add 50% to the space in one store but, with the introduction of new, more effecient energy provision (onsite renewable power supply) they would actually reduce the overall carbon footprint of the site. Great, that's more like it, a step in the right direction, except that my first thought was "why do they need to add 50% to the store size?"
They are a retail outlet and clearly feel that if they pack more stuff into each location there are sufficient people around who will be induced to buy more stuff. Where does that stuff come from, what is the environmental impact of that stuff both in terms of buying and supplying it and then when it's thrown away? Did they count in the environmental impact on building the extra space, will the extra stuff they sell improve the lives of the customers?
Would they go out of businesss or suffer significanly if they decided to put a halt to any site growth over the next 2-3 years and, if environmental impact is so important to them, put more effort into running the existing stores more effeciently, adding the onsite renewable power supply to the existing store, dropping wasteful processes and retail lines and announcing their good deeds to their loyal customers?
I use the Sainsbury's case as an example and it may well be that all of the above was considered and taken into account by them but it's the headlines that I'm going on and what appears to me as "greenwash".
Given that us Europeans consume 3 planets a year and the US 5 planets a year we do not need "Growth" in this toxic form, but influencing business and people towards "sustainable inertia" is really difficult with "sustainable depletion" an impossibility but if we don't practice it then I fear it will be forced upon us in the coming decades.
One final thought on cunsumer use of products (Simon's comment above). One of my main interests over the past few months has been the reduction in electricity use by more considerate use of lighting and IT kit (especially the beast of a server purring away in the corner).
It was somewhat of a kick in the teeth to learn that the everage PC has done 85% of its environmental damage before it's even unpacked from the box, making the reduction in its use in my office a pretty meaningless exercise. Better I've been told to buy a freezer, which consumes the same amount of juice as my PC but which saves 90% of it's environmental damage to running itself.....I'm looking into this but have yet to find a model with a USB port for the keyboard!
Global Warming is Dead. Long Live Energy Security.
It seems a little ironic that you're feeling a little lonely in this section as it's clear, in my opinion, that the ICAEW believe this is an important issue. Their Business Sustainability programme is an excellent introduction to the subject and provides a 'sort-of' qualification, and they sponsored the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Award at the Orange National Business Awards in November 2010. It was won by the Co-op Group. It seems they think Carbon Accounting is going to be an important requirment.
If I remember correctly, the company was Unilever, but I can't remember the exact reduction percentage. It was interesting to hear their justification about this...
Following on from the idea of Global Warming not being a big motivator for businesses, the buzzword was "Energy Security" and how this was at the heart of sustainability activities for big business.
Yes but
Simon - This discussion group was sparked off following Gina Dyer's excellent post in April last year "Sustainability - Do accountants get it" http://www.accountingweb.co.uk/topic/business/sustainability-do-accountants-get-it/422041
As you'll see from my contribution I too acknowledged the ICAEW's & ACCA's pronouncements on this topic however it's all a pointless exercise if the peeps on the ground, ie their members, don't get it. It's also comical to record that surrounding an ACCA monitoring visit this year they are anything but sustainable as far as resource use is concerned.
Similarly asking accountants to train up to ensure they and their clients are ready for recording these things is a pointless exercise if, again, accountants just don't get what it's all about and secondly if what or how they record & report changes every 10 minutes. On another thread I made the point that the first organisation to start this whole recording of impact thing started nearly 20 years ago and we still don't have firm (and understandable) standards.
Energy security is now the name of one of the games but it wouldn't be if we used it properly.
It's a slow journey but...
I don't think it's just a question of whether accountants get it; do any SME's get it? Apart from a tiny percentage?
I've mentioned reducing energy use to clients and the response has sometimes been "I don't believe all that Global Warming stuff!"
But it is changing...
What's going to be the key to even more change?
Fuel/Energy costs
Supply Chain pressure
Market Opportunities
Consumer pressure
It will probably vary for different people and how conservative their market is, but I suspect a new generation of consumers and business people will have a great deal of impact. I don't see any alternative but for sustainability to fundamentally alter the way we do business. "When?" is the key.
Like the "Hugh's Fish Fight", perhaps a change of how the issues are communicated is required before we see a shift in attitude? While the the Global Warming issue is centre stage and you get various papers rubbishing it and things like climategate, is the messgae getting across in a way people can relate to?
Will the only way it works for some people be when the costs get so high they can't afford to ignore it?
Personally, I think it is the most crucial business issue facing us. And the most interesting.
Made me chuckle about the ACCA monitoring visit though!
Bigger companies do get it - because of cost
I won a second company involved in a number waste management systems, the main part of this is waste water. having worked in food production chemical sales some years ago I formed a new company last year to supply environmentally friendlier solutions to food treatment.
Out of our conversations with food producers we found that actually their main concern was water. They pay to have water taken away as it cannot be tipped down the usual drains. But it can be used to spread on farmers fields.
We have subsequently developed, with a number of partners, a filtration system that redues water usage by 2/3rds. In relation to this their requirement for tankers to take the waste water away has also dropped. by the same amount. We are saving them on average (1 site) £1.4m per annum. My client has 60 sites across europe.
If smaller companies could see the same kind of cost saving as these larger ones then we'd all be at it. But it is the scale of my client that astounds.
As i've said before we are all responsible in some small way and although our cost savings will probably never reach that of those above at least we are doing our part.
A perfect example
The response to the post "Do accountants get it?" cymraeg_draig was a perfect example of why the issue needs to be reframed. I can understand where he's coming from but there are some points that need to be made.
"And, supposing for one moment, that all the mumbo jumbo, pseudo-science, and dubious propoganda were correct - so what."
Well, let's just start burning MORE shall we? Hell, let's go turn ALL the lights on! Now that's clearly not what was meant and I totally understand the references to India and China etc. I've been to Cairo and the overwhelming smell there was of petrol. What's the point of me getting a smaller car when that's just one city in one developing country? I might as well stick with my Range Rover (no I don't have one!) Forget Global Warming - I think taxation and costs are the answer. Is this government or any future one going to reduce or increase the tax they can generate from Carbon. Do we think Carbon Reduction Committment thresholds are going to get larger or smaller? Are fuel prices going to drop? Has this country got a decent energy policy?
"We have to get through the recession, maximise profits for our clients, and minimise expenses." Quite right. Wouldn't cutting inefficient energy use and reducing waste costs help to do that? They all come off the bottom line. How much extra business needs to be generated to save £1000 a year in electricity costs?
There is also the assumption that being "green" is more expensive. Let's take a leaf out of the corporate book, whatever their other growth aspirations, and realise how reducing our emissions and other sustainability activites can improve business and save money. Yes it may require some investment but we do it in other areas of business. And consumers really are getting greener because they feel it's the right thing to do. Do businesses want to alienate them by actively saying they aren't going to be more environmentall friendly?
Global Warming is dead. Long live Energy Security. It might sounds over the top but the Global Warming issue is getting in the way of practical stuff like saving money that people can relate to.
Are examples the way forward?
That is a great example of how much companies can benefit from thinking in this way. And water is going to be the sleeping giant of sustainability, and not just shortages. Look at Brisbane. Half of the Environment Agency's budget is for preventing floods and they will probably create a whole new department to deal with it.
Will more examples of how "green" thinking can practically benefit business help to change the way people think. Case studies always seem to work well.

Fighter jet crashes in California's Imperial Valley
IMPERIAL, Calif. - A military aircraft crashed in a residential area in the Imperial Valley, about 90 miles east of San Diego, Wednesday afternoon.
"I was pretty close to it," said witness Shaun Penniman, who was out running with his dog when the aircraft went down. "I heard like a pop and a whistle. And right when I looked up is when I saw the pilot eject."
According to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the aircraft was a Third Marine Aircraft Wing AV-8B Harrier that was stationed out of Yuma. The plane went down around 4:20 p.m.
Miramar officials said the pilot ejected and landed safely, but the plane did hit homes and there is no word yet on whether anyone on the ground was injured. Local authorities are on the scene assessing what happened.

'Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.
Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
5:3-12 Our Saviour here gives eight characters of blessed people, which represent to us the principal graces of a Christian. 1. The poor in spirit are happy. These bring their minds to their condition, when it is a low condition. They are humble and lowly in their own eyes. They see their want, bewail their guilt, and thirst after a Redeemer. The kingdom of grace is of such; the kingdom of glory is for them. 2. Those that mourn are happy. That godly sorrow which worketh true repentance, watchfulness, a humble mind, and continual dependence for acceptance on the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, with constant seeking the Holy Spirit, to cleanse away the remaining evil, seems here to be intended. Heaven is the joy of our Lord; a mountain of joy, to which our way is through a vale of tears. Such mourners shall be comforted by their God. 3. The meek are happy. The meek are those who quietly submit to God; who can bear insult; are silent, or return a soft answer; who, in their patience, keep possession of their own souls, when they can scarcely keep possession of anything else. These meek ones are happy, even in this world. Meekness promotes wealth, comfort, and safety, even in this world. 4. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness are happy. Righteousness is here put for all spiritual blessings. These are purchased for us by the righteousness of Christ, confirmed by the faithfulness of God. Our desires of spiritual blessings must be earnest. Though all desires for grace are not grace, yet such a desire as this, is a desire of God's own raising, and he will not forsake the work of his own hands. 5. The merciful are happy. We must not only bear our own afflictions patiently, but we must do all we can to help those who are in misery. We must have compassion on the souls of others, and help them; pity those who are in sin, and seek to snatch them as brands out of the burning. 6. The pure in heart are happy; for they shall see God. Here holiness and happiness are fully described and put together. The heart must be purified by faith, and kept for God. Create in me such a clean heart, O God. None but the pure are capable of seeing God, nor would heaven be happiness to the impure. As God cannot endure to look upon their iniquity, so they cannot look upon his purity. 7. The peace-makers are happy. They love, and desire, and delight in peace; and study to be quiet. They keep the peace that it be not broken, and recover it when it is broken. If the peace-makers are blessed, woe to the peace-breakers! 8. Those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake are happy. This saying is peculiar to Christianity; and it is more largely insisted upon than any of the rest. Yet there is nothing in our sufferings that can merit of God; but God will provide that those who lose for him, though life itself, shall not lose by him in the end. Blessed Jesus! how different are thy maxims from those of men of this world! They call the proud happy, and admire the gay, the rich, the powerful, and the victorious. May we find mercy from the Lord; may we be owned as his children, and inherit his kingdom. With these enjoyments and hopes, we may cheerfully welcome low or painful circumstances.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 4. - In some, especially "Western" authorities, vers. 4, 5 are transposed (vide Westcott and Hort, 'Appendix'), possibly because the terms of ver. 5 seemed to be more closely parallel to ver. 3 (cf. Meyer, Weiss), and also those of ver. 4 fitted excellently with ver. 6. But far the greater balance of evidence is in favour of the usual order, which also, though not on the surface, is in the deepest connexion with the preceding and the following verses. They that mourn (cf. Isaiah 61:2). Our Lord does not define that which causes the mourning, but as the preceding and the following verses all refer to the religious or at least the ethical sphere, merely carnal and worldly mourning is excluded. The mourning referred to must, therefore, be produced by religious or moral causes. Mourners for the state of Israel, so far as they mourned not for its political but for its spiritual condition (cf. similar mourning in the Christian Church, 2 Corinthians 7:9, 10), would be included (cf. Weiss, 'Life,' 2:142); but our Lord's primary thought must have been of mourning over one's personal state, not exactly, perhaps, over one's sins, but over the realized poverty in spirit just spoken of (cf. Weiss-Meyer). As the deepest poverty lies in the sphere of the spirit, so the deepest mourning lies there also. All other mourning is but partial and slight compared with this (Proverbs 18:14). For they shall be comforted. When? On having the kingdom of heaven (ver. 3); i.e. during this life in measure (cf. Luke 2:25), but fully only hereafter. The mourning over one's personal poverty in spirit is removed in proportion as Christ is received and appropriated; but during this life such appropriation can be only partial.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Blessed are they that mourn,.... For sin, for their own sins; the sin of their nature, indwelling sin, which is always working in them, and is a continual grief of mind to them; the unbelief of their hearts, notwithstanding the many instances, declarations, promises, and discoveries of grace made unto them; their daily infirmities, and many sins of life, because they are committed against a God of love, grace, and mercy, grieve the Spirit, and dishonour the Gospel of Christ: who mourn also for the sins of others, for the sins of the world, the profaneness and wickedness that abound in it; and more especially for the sins of professors, by reason of which, the name of God, and ways of Christ, are evil spoken of: who likewise mourn under afflictions, spiritual ones, temptations, desertions, and declensions; temporal ones, their own, which they receive, either more immediately from the hand of God, or from men; such as they endure for the sake of Christ, and the profession of his Gospel; and who sympathize with others in their afflictions. These, how sorrowful and distressed soever they may appear, are blessed
for they shall be comforted: here in this life, by the God of all comfort, by Christ the comforter; by the Spirit of God, whose work and office it is to comfort; by the Scriptures of truth, which are written for their consolation; by the promises of the Gospel, through which the heirs of promise have strong consolation; by the ordinances of it, which are breasts of consolation; and by the ministers of the word, who have a commission from the Lord to speak comfortably to them; and then are they comforted, when they have the discoveries of the love of God, manifestations of pardoning grace, through the blood of Christ, and enjoy the divine presence: and they shall be comforted hereafter; when freed from all the troubles of this life, they shall be blessed with uninterrupted communion with Father, Son, and Spirit, and with the happy society of angels and glorified saints. Isaiah 61:1 seems to be referred to, both in this, and in the preceding verse.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted—This "mourning" must not be taken loosely for that feeling which is wrung from men under pressure of the ills of life, nor yet strictly for sorrow on account of committed sins. Evidently it is that entire feeling which the sense of our spiritual poverty begets; and so the second beatitude is but the complement of the first. The one is the intellectual, the other the emotional aspect of the same thing. It is poverty of spirit that says, "I am undone"; and it is the mourning which this causes that makes it break forth in the form of a lamentation—"Woe is me! for I am undone." Hence this class are termed "mourners in Zion," or, as we might express it, religious mourners, in sharp contrast with all other sorts (Isa 61:1-3; 66:2). Religion, according to the Bible, is neither a set of intellectual convictions nor a bundle of emotional feelings, but a compound of both, the former giving birth to the latter. Thus closely do the first two beatitudes cohere. The mourners shall be "comforted." Even now they get beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Sowing in tears, they reap even here in joy. Still, all present comfort, even the best, is partial, interrupted, short-lived. But the days of our mourning shall soon be ended, and then God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes. Then, in the fullest sense, shall the mourners be "comforted."

Universal Pictures has released a full-length red band trailer for Judd Apatow's upcoming comedy Funny People today, which stars Adam Sandler as a famous laughman who thinks he's about to die. And in his final days, he befriends a low-level comedian, played by Seth Rogen, in order to have someone who will write jokes for him.
This new uncensored trailer shows a bit of the depravity — something that Apatow has never shied away from — including part of Adam Sandler's raunchy stand-up routine, some additional footage of Eric Bana's character and a little rant about sex that involves the always entertaining Jason Schwartzman. Overall, it doesn't feel like much of a red band trailer, though with the running time on this film just over two hours, I'm sure there's plenty of material left in there somewhere. Check it out for yourselves below.
Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) has shown that nothing—not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth—is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says, "I'm trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!" Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in Funny People, the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.
Funny People is in theaters on July 31, 2009. To see the trailer in high definition, head over to MySpace.

When she's not punching Ronnie in the face or yanking out JWOWW's hair extensions, Sammi "Sweetheart" actually earns her nickname. The self-proclaimed "sweetest bitch you'll ever meet" revealed her inner nice girl during last week's "Jersey Shore" when Deena had yet another meltdown over missing her boyfriend, Chris, whom she had seen mere hours before. Or maybe she was upset over her imaginary case of Toxic
Shots Shock Syndrome, we're not entirely sure.
Regardless of the reason behind Deena's tears, Sammi's reaction to her housemate's distress cued a great big "AWWWW" across the country. We assume. And that's what brings us to Sammi's biggest displays of kindness:
Offering to be Deena's stand-in meatball. While Sam could have told Deena to cowboy up and drown her out-of-control emotions in a bottle of vodka, she didn't. She recalled her own never-ending "Shore" sobfest from Season 3, and empathized. She also acknowledged that Deena was missing her meatball-in-crime, Snooki, who had just moved into her "Pregnant House" next door. "If you need me to be a meatball, I'll do my best," Sammi said. "I'm not the best meatball, but I'll do my best to be a meatball."
Forgiving Ronnie…over and over and over again. Whether it's because he made fun of her Fred Flintstone toe, participated in a three-way cheatfest or behaved like an a-hole at Karma once again, Sam is forever wearing her forgiveness fedora. You gotta be a real sweetheart to put up with that much BS from a single gorilla juicehead.
Admitting to being insecure and hypersensitive. Humbly owning up to your own issues like Sam did during Season 2 ain't an easy feat. Then again, we'd be paranoid if we received an anonymous note saying that our lover had gone astray…multiple times.
Apologizing to her friends for being a complete bitch. It can take a gallon of Ron Ron Juice to swallow your pride, and Miss Sweetheart somehow choked it back during Season 3. After finally retracting her claws from the likes of Snooki and Deena, the girls hugged it out.
Laughing at herself. While Snooki was going a bit Psycho Sam in Italy over a spat with Jionni, Jenni called the meatball out, going so far as to compare her behavior to SamRon several times. The best part? Sam actually agreed.
+ Did we miss any of Sammi's sweetest moments? Comment with your thoughts!

I commute in Cleveland. From my experience last winter (before I started to ride) the snow is cleared away fast, and salt is sprayed (a separate problem for my bike, I know) all the time.
As I usually ride only one direction (home, in the afternoon), I was wondering if regular mountain bike tires are sufficient, as I don't remember encountering ice last year when driving my car.

get a job and do some classes online. that way you can support your baby but also further your education so you can a better job eventually, you cant expect your mom to take care of you guys completely while you go to school. either way, its good that you are wanting to better your life.. good luck!posted 05/04/2011 by amprevo91
I'm in the exact same situation as you. I highly recommend you get a GED because just online classes or minimum wage job will take you literally nowhere. Some community colleges have a GED testing facility and they do have prep classes you can take. If money is an issue they do have financial aid for the GED tests. Don't panic if you don't pass the first time and don't give up because getting a GED will definitely make you and your child's future brighter. Definitely go back to school, nowadays college is a must and finding a job is difficult enough.posted 05/04/2011 by 2AtomsInAMolecule
Definitely get your GED first, that will help you at least get into a entry level job if you want to put off school for a little while. It will be the most important thing for you to have right now. Then from there decide if you want to go to college or training for something you like. Though I agree with you, take the opportunity to go to college, it will really help you be the best mom you can be.posted 05/04/2011 by peanutwitt

Go to college I'm 15 and I'm in a situation a lot like yours my bd was abusive too I'm finishing highschool but my mom isn't here to help so I have to pay for daycare If I were you Id definatly go to collegeposted 05/07/2011 by maytranla
I had my first baby at 19. I am 25 now. It has been a really hard road especially becasue I had another baby a year and half later and decided to leave the father. Luckily, I had already graduated highschool. The system is there for people in your exact situation. So dont feel bad about taking the help while you are getting on your feet. Get your ged and go to college! It will be the best choice for you and your baby. It wont be easy but stick with it! Look at your baby for inspiration every time you get discouraged. And it makes it that much better that your mom is supportive. Dont let the dad off the hook either. File for child support now! I waited for 4 yrs and I kick myself for waiting so long. Most states will give you the papers to file for a court date for free and without a lawyer! As far as getting a job while going to school. I would say get the school stuff established first and then see if you are able to work. Its hard to go to school fulltime and work! Good luck! :)posted 06/06/2011 by mommycx3
Get your education going, find a part-time job, if you can handle it on top of having a brand new baby. Your options for work will open up considerably if you finish your GED and even more so if you go get some type of education beyond high school. Not only will you feel good about yourself, you will be a good role model for your child. Many women have overcome the adversity you have experienced in your life, and so can you!posted 05/08/2012 by 1976smcc
Finish your GED as soon as possible. Eventually, you will want to have a University Degree somewhere down the road. And, here is a thought, that I wish I had considered. You can take classes to figure out what you want to do so that you don't waste money on classes you don't need. Don't just go to school to go to school - have a direction and a trade upon completion of your degree. Be very strategic about it. Research PELL grants. I don't know how old you have to be (especially if you have a child) to receive these grants, but you don't have to pay them back, which is better than student loans (which build up and become mammoth before you know it). And do not spend anything frivolously (except the occasional pedicure). Good luck sweetheart. you can do it! and teach that baby of yours the importance of independence and a personal definition of success instead of society's. And, good job getting out of an abusive situation. huge kudos.posted 05/08/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Coming off perhaps the best weekend of her young career, sophomore middle blocker Lianna Sybeldon was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week today by the conference office. Sybeldon's output helped the third-ranked Husky volleyball team to its first sweep of the Los Angeles road trip since 2008.
Washington (17-1, 9-1 Pac-12) started the weekend at UCLA, earning a four set victory for its first road win over the Bruins since 2009. In that match, Sybeldon had 12 kills on a .400 attack percentage and added seven blocks.
Last night in a battle for first-place, the Huskies overcame fourth-ranked USC, snapping a 16-match home win streak for the Trojans, 25-23, 23-25, 25-19, 25-22. The Folsom, Calif. native set a new career-high with 15 kills, hammering the ball routinely on quick sets in the middle from Katy Beals and Jenni Nogueras. She hit .462 for the night, averaging an excellent .431 for the weekend, while adding five more blocks.
Sybeldon has upped her production significantly as a starter this season after seeing limited action as a freshman. She's now averaging 2.08 kills per set, third on the team behind Krista Vansant and Kaleigh Nelson, and her 1.21 blocks per set leads the team and ranks fifth in the Pac-12. Her .361 attack percentage also is ninth in the Pac-12 this season.
Husky players have now earned a Player of the Week honor five times this season. Krista Vansant has won two Offensive Player of the Week and one Defensive Player of the Week award, while Jenna Orlandini also has one Defensive Player of the Week honor.
Washington looks to extend its seven-match winning streak at home this week against Utah on Friday and Colorado on Sunday at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Also Nominated:
OFFENSIVE: Halli Amaro, ARIZ; Lara Vukasovic, CAL; Taylor Simpson, COLO; Jordan Burgess, STAN; Karsta Lowe, UCLA; Samantha Bricio, USC; Shelby Dalton, UTAH.
DEFENSIVE: Candace Nicholson, CAL; Maddy Kerr, CAL; Nikki Lindow, COLO; Amanda Benson, ORE; Kyle Gilbert, STAN; Mariana Aquino, UCLA; Natalie Hagglund, USC; Jenna Orlandini, WASH.
FRESHMAN: Penina Snuka, ARIZ; Cierra Simpson, COLO; Amanda Benson, ORE; Ebony Nwanebu, USC; Tess Sutton, UTAH.

Winning Streak
Last Update: June 19, 2001 -- two links added to the Read More About It section.
Airing:10:30-11 a.m. Thursday and Friday, January 2 and 3, NBC.
Personnel:Bill Cullen, host; Don Pardo, announcer. A Bob Stewart Production. Taped in New York City.
Description:Obviously short-lived word game.
Game Play:Two players competed, and appears there were several adjustments in format. In one version, they faced a board of sixteen letters with a category attached at the bottom. Contestants then formed a word of two to ten letters using the letters on the board. They won letters answers questions posed by Cullen. The answer to a question posed by Cullen would start with the letter the contestant chose of the 16 letters on the board. The first contestant to ring in with the correct answer could keep the letter for the word they had in mind or refuse it; if the first contestant answered incorrectly, this option went to their opponent. The first player to form a word in the given category moved on to the end game.
Later, contestants picked a letter and won the points attached to it by ringing in before their opponent with the answer to a question posed by Cullen that began with the chosen letter. One player was declared the winner when they passed a certain point total. That contestant then faced the previous champion and played a similar game, except they tried to spell out a word with the letters they had selected. (Doesn't make sense to me, either.)
End Game:Again, it looks like there were two formats. At one point, the winner of the opening game played the previous champion, who had won money during a previous bonus round, but couldn't collect it until they beat the new winner. They did this by forming words using letters chosen at random. The bonus money (preselected at random by the newer player) doubled as each letter was selected, until one player couldn't come up with a word using all the letters selected, which meant the victory went to the other player. The round was played at first by the newer player, who could quit when they felt they couldn't form another word and would then go head-to-head with the existing champion for the money the newer player had just accumulated. If anyone has any doubts at this point why this show only lasted six months, write to me and I'll sum up the rules of Password for you in about three sentences.
Background:Winning Streak replaced the long-running Jeopardy! at 10:30 a.m. on July 1, 1974. Jeopardy!, which had been battling CBS's The $10,000 Pyramid and Gambit since its switch from 12 noon, was shifted again to 1:30 p.m., replacing Three on a Match, which, like Winning Streak, was hosted by Bill Cullen and produced by Bob Stewart. Cullen was the favorite host of packager Stewart – he had hosted The Price Is Right, a Stewart creation, in the '50s and '60s and also ran Stewart's Eye Guess as well as Three on a Match. It's possible Cullen had a contract with NBC, I suppose.
Winning Streak, based on seeing one episode, seemed a complicated and basically uninteresting game to watch, and was running againstGambit. NBC bounced it just after the New Year, replacing it with Wheel of Fortune. Only two episodes aired in 1975 (NBC pre-empted its daytime lineup New Year's Day for the Tournament of Roses parade and bowl games), but that allows the show to squeeze onto this web site.
Karen's Take:"It's like Scrabble without the fun!"
Winning Style:Lin Bolen, president of NBC daytime, certainly had a thing about making sure her hosts appeared hip. Cullen is pictured in The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows with long hair (well, long for him, compared to his crew cuts of the '60s) and an open collar. (He kept his bifocals, though!) Small wonder this was Bill's last NBC game until 1980's Chain Reaction, by which time Bolen was long gone from the network.
Memories From the Set:"In July of 1974, I was 19 years old and working part-time in New York City at the now-defunct Gimbel's Department Store. One day while on a lunch break, I was taking a walk through Rockefeller Center. As I neared the entrance to NBC studios, I was approached by a man who was asking passersby if they would like to try out for a new game show. It sounded exciting, so I agreed and was given a ticket and an address for an office building around the corner which I later was told were the offices of Bob Stewart Productions. After riding the elevator up, I walked into a crowded hallway where dozens of people were standing around filling out forms by propping them up against walls. In due time I was given my set of forms and after completing them was ushered into an office with about six other contestant hopefuls to sit down in front of the contestant coordinator, a man in his mid-twenties who spoke with a southern drawl. He basically wanted to chat with us all and tell us how the new game show Winning Streak is played. He also wanted to see what our individual reactions might be if each of us were told we had just won $10,000 (yes, he wanted us to rant and rave and jump up and down right there in front of him!). He told us that Bill Cullen was the host of the show and that only a few tapings had taken place so far. I remember that one young guy was sitting there wearing eyeglasses with no glass in the frames! He behaved somewhat like an actor might on an audition: extra-animated and kind of wacky. Anyway, I was chosen as one of the future contestants and asked to report to NBC studios in Rockefeller Center a few weeks later. The game was a word game, so in the meantime, I practiced trying to come up with words which contained all of the letters either my friends would recite to me or that I might come across in random groupings. Automobile license plates served well for this purpose. I would look at a plate and use the two or three letters on it as the clue and then try to come up with a word that contained all of the letters.
"I arrived on the day of the taping wearing clothes that were technically accurate for TV: no white shirts, fine-checked, or pin-striped items were allowed because of the burn out and/or moire effect they produce when shot by TV cameras. However, my choice in the final analysis wasn't so hot. In my dark brown shirt, dark brown jacket and tan tie, I looked like a fugitive from a low-budget Godfather ripoff. Anyway, what we did while waiting to enter the studio was to play the game among ourselves -- a lot! All under the watchful eyes of the contestant coordinators who you felt were constantly evaluating you.
"We were led into the studio, given a tour of the set and then placed in the first two rows of the audience. A week's worth of shows were to be taped that day. No change of clothing was permitted unless you needed to come back after the final show of that day was taped. Supposedly, no one watching at home would notice if you seemingly wore the same clothing for days on end. I even got to lunch in the NBC commissary that was made (in)famous by Johnny Carson and others.
"I was eventually chosen to compete on stage against a nice young lady, under the watchful eye of the previous game winner standing upstage behind a little podium. I won that game and proceeded to win $1,760 in the bonus round, which I was able to immediately keep, as the previous game's winner went bust during his attempt at the bonus round. Back into another game, I won that one too, and went to the bonus round again to this time rack up $1,200. I took my place at the upstage podium to watch another twp contestants duke it out, the emerging winner a bubbly blonde woman named Sheila wearing a quintessentially '70s halter top pants suit. She fared well in her bonus round, winning $1,040, but had to face me in a playoff round for the combined total of our winnings: $2,240.
"I was the winner of that contest, having to give a word that contained the letters S-P-N-D-L. I said "plunders". Sheila then revealed an "E" and couldn't come up with a word within the time allotted. At this point, I had accumulated $4,000. Needless to say, I was pretty elated. Unfortunately, after winning the next game, I went bust during my bonus round and had to stand up there behind that podium awaiting the next game winner's bonus round fate. He won it, so my reign was over. Had he gone bust by the way, I think he and I would have faced each other in the next game.
"To my surprise, those prizes shown at the end of the show don't only go to the losers, but to the winners as well. So I got in addition to my cash winnings a piece of American Tourister luggage, a Bissell carpet sweeper and a whole bunch of Tootsie Roll Midgees.
"I had great fun on the show, I won, and my appetite was whetted to try another game show as soon as the rules of NBC and Bob Stewart Productions allowed. It wasn't until three years later that I got the chance: Shoot for the Stars with host Geoff Edwards. But that is another story." – Mark Silverstein
"I spent a lot of time at 30 Rock[efeller Center] when I was a kid. When I heard that Three on a Match was about to get cancelled I watched out for its replacement. I was happy when I found out the replacement was Winning Streak. While at the taping at the first show, something unplanned happened. If you remember the original main game, you had to spell a word. Well, no one planned for the fact that one of the contestants might spell the word incorrectly.
"During the first show, that happened. I heard somebody yell "stop tape" and out rushed Bob Stewart. What they did was roll back the game to the point that the contestant added the wrong letter. Interesting!
"By the way, in the early episodes, there was no protection around the light bulbs that surrounded the pods the Bill Cullen and the contestants sat in. In later episodes, a plastic step in placed over the blubs."How is it no one has ever commented the original main game (less the spelling) looks like Blockbusters?" – Al Martella
The Home Game:Sadist.
Reruns:Tapes of this show have probably been destroyed by NBC. One episode continues to circulate among tape traders -- Game Show Network has run it occasionally claiming it originally aired August 9, 1974, but since Richard Nixon resigned the presidency that day, it seems more likely the tape was tossed to the side and never aired, thus avoiding destruction.
Revivals:Not unless it's completely changed. Bob Stewart never threw away an idea, but since Sony has the rights to his shows, this is extremely unlikely to return.
Curt Alliaume, Executive Producer:How could I hope to produce this game if I can't even explain it?
My Grade:C-.

I'm going back to work in October and I'm really worried now because my breastfed daughter will not take a bottle. She used to have bottles in the early weeks when she wouldn't latch but she seems to have forgotten. Earlier today we tried again - daddy offered a bottle of EBM but she got so angry that she wouldn't even take the breast after that.
So now I'm thinking if I should proceed trying with the bottle or just teach her to drink from a sippy cup. When I start work she will be nine months. Is she likely to be able to drink her milk from a cup by then? At the moment we're doing BLW and offering water from the sippy cup with every meal. She seems to know that it has water because she reaches out for it but can't really drink from it yet. Most of the water seems to come back out. She's 6 months.
Thanks for your replies. Had to Google Doidy cup. It seems to be just a simple cup with hndles but no lid. Do you think she is more likely to want to drink from it than a sippy cup?
Sarah, I expect my daughter might do the same. If so, we will have to co sleep all night (at the moment we just do from about 4am) and then we will need a bigger bed! Its expensive going back to work!
Thanks for your advice, I think I will order a doidy cup and see how she does with that. You have all convinced me to skip the bottle.
With my DD I went back to work when she was 8.5mnths and she would only take sips of water from a sippy cup. So that was her- food and water during the day and BF morning/evening/night. Might that be an option?
Babycup is another one to look at. It's baby-sized and Gill Rapley (of baby-led weaning fame) recommends it www.babycup.co.uk Best wishes xx

Ater Majok left the program. Enosch Wolf won't join the team until December. Tyler Olander is inexperienced. Charles Okwandu is limited. Michael Bradley isn't ready.
Around Alex Oriakhi, there are question marks.
For Oriakhi, there are high expectations and a lot of responsibility.
After an up and down freshman season, Oriakhi will be expected to anchor the otherwise thin UConn frontcourt.
"I want to average at least 13 or 14 points a game and double-figure rebuonds," he said. "I feel like I can do that becuase I have enough experience under my belt. I look at Jeff [Adrien]. I look at all the other UConn big men and see the jump they had from their freshman to sophomore year."
Oriakhi avearged five points points and 6.6 rebounds last season.
"I don't think I was mentally ready," he said. "I got frustrated out there. I'm not going to lie. Coach [Jim Calhoun] got me frustrated when I made mistakes. But being a sophomore, you're mature and you know how to handle it."
Oriakhi talks to Adrien only occassionally but there is no bigger influence or role model. They're both Boston-area guys. They're both hulking power forwards. Oriakhi has doubled his workouts to twice a day this offseason and usually caps his night by watching a video of Adrien go through his post moves. He loves Adrien's rebounding ability, and he does see similarities in their games.
"I'm a little taller and I feel like I can get just as strong as him," Oriakhi said. "He has a nice mid-range shot I'm working on, too."
Oriakhi is in terrific shape and he's improved his maximum bench press from 230 to 265 since the end of last season, but his biggest strides have been mental, he said. He is highly frustrated by last season and shoulders a lot of responsibility for UConn's shortcomings near the basket. As inconsistent as the outside trio of Kemba Walker, Jerome Dyson and Stanley Robinson could be, they also didn't have a dependable post game to rely on.
"I was talking to Donny [Marshall] yesterday and he said I have to control the paint," Oriakhi said. "Last year's presence in the paint was ridiculous. I really bought into what Donny said. There's a lot of emphasis on me [this season], but that's a responsibility I'm willing to take, a responsibility I want to take. I don't know who wouldn't want that responsibility."
Rebounding is Calhoun's primary concern as UConn prepares for the season.
"I love to rebound," Oriakhi said. "Growing up, I never got the ball so rebounding became second nature to me, the only thing I really know. My goal every game is to rebound, and I know I'm going to be able to score off offensive rebounding and just going to get the ball."
Calhoun spoke about UConn's frontcourt at Big East media day.
"I think Alex could be a double-double guy," Calhoun said. "Has he shown me that? No. But he did average [five and] and six as a freshmen. I think one of our big guys could emerge as a go-to guy. ... Alex Oriakhi has to be really good, and I think he can be."
Calhoun said Olander has been a pleasant surprise so far in practice. He's rebounded well and shot well, showing he has potential to contribute right away as a power forward who can wander a little from the basket and make some jumpers. Okwandu, Calhoun said, is improved. Wolf will be a question mark even after his arrival. But he'll get thrown right into the mix and Calhoun sees potential in the 7-foot-1 German.
