Yen-Hsun Lu "the giant killer"? It seems so.
The baller from Chinese Taipei grabbed a huge win at the Aussie Open today when he knocked out Sydney champ David Nalbandian 6-4, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in a messy second round match featuring a combined 121 unforced errors against only 88 winners. Ick. He'll face Spain's Tommy Robredo for a spot in the Round of 16.
It's not the first time Yen-Hsun has served a big-name baller an upset special: Yen-Hsun also shocked Brit baller Andy Murray at the Beijing Olympics last summer.
As for Nalby, well, I can't say that I'm really THAT surprised. He's like the guy who tells you he'll call you but never does because he's just not that into you.
*has dating flashbacks, sobs uncontrollably*
But even though he lost early here, I still say he shouldn't quit his day job.

Nalby is so hot and cold with his tennis, it's maddening! When he's on, look the F out, you're going down. HARD. But sometimes he sprays balls all over the court, dumps "easy" winners into the net, serves like crap, etc. So weird. Both he and Gasquet have that same sort of unpredictable aspect to their game. Hmm.ReplyDelete
But anyways, congrats to Yen-Hsun for a big win! He was def putting the pressure on.
Hey, whatever happened to Paradorn Srichapan? Anybody know? Rich?ReplyDelete
Paradorn's wife who was in The Amazing Raca Asia last year said her hubby will be making a come back in 2009. But right after Thailand Open, it seems that Paradorn's interest has shifted to motorsports.ReplyDelete
Thanks hcfoo ;) I don't watch Amazing Race Asia.ReplyDelete
Haha ....121 UEs and 88 winners!!! I didn't realize the match stats was unusual, DTL. ;)ReplyDelete
I am just too happy for Rendy! ;)
Me too!ReplyDelete
You know Nalby is just SO frustrating that it's annoying. He can beat anyone and he can lost to anyone, so he really doesn't give you anything to root for.
Plus, based on his off-season "training" this loss shouldn't be a suprise. In fact, his Sydney win is the bigger surprise IMO.
Thanks HCFoo on the Paradorn update - I actually knew about his status from your blog! Hehe.
BTW guys - call me crazy but with Nalby out watch for A-Rod in that section to make a move. He's looking good and Nalby's loss is a HUGE obstacle out of his way.
I can't stand Nalby for all the reasons johanne gave (It's also why I hate Gasquet.) Good riddance, I say. Good luck to Yen-Hsun, too.ReplyDelete
The match I can't wait for is Federer/Safin. Please, Aussies, put it on during the day so I can watch it live at a reasonable hour.
- johanneJanuary 21, 2009 at 9:24 AM
natch: Fed/Safin has "night match" written all over it, IMO. Ugh! I hope I'm wrong bc that makes it a bitch to watch in the States :(ReplyDelete
On the other hand, Rafa will be on tv at a reasonable hour tonight, which gives us something to smile about, right?! :)
Yes, Fed/Marat will be a night match, but I had to put in my plug to the Aussies, just in case they were reading. ;)
YES! Rafa is the second match.
*bounces off walls, in RafaTrance*

I guess Nalby restored his good mood soon with a couple of Krispy Kreme Donuts.ReplyDelete
- uvijek argenJanuary 21, 2009 at 1:41 PM
That was very good comparison between Gasquet and Nalby...
Exactly yesterday ( and im a person that dont like to do that) said in the blog Fue Buena that the way that Nalby is playing wont be no problem for him. And now we see the results.
Note to self: Do not comment like you know the game.
uvijek: I think that person commented here and said the same thing. But interestingly enough, after he won his first rounder the guys on ESPN2 also said he's one to watch.ReplyDelete
WTF?! Have they not been paying attention to his career?? Better questions: What do I need to do to get their jobs???
- uvijek argenJanuary 21, 2009 at 3:09 PM
"Better questions: What do I need to do to get their jobs???"
Do you know any time machine??
Frustrating is exactly what David is. He's got so much talent, but he doesn't seem to really have the consistency to make something of it. Too bad.ReplyDelete
I can't quite tell what is holding him back, though. Is it will? Is it lazyness? Is it resignation? A lack of devotion? Dunno...
I always used to root for him to win a GS title ever since he got to the AO semi's (in 2006 I think), but by now I'm seriously doubting he will ever be able to win a Slam. There's just too many other guys out there who seem to want it more.
"I can't quite tell what is holding him back, though. Is it will? Is it lazyness? Is it resignation? A lack of devotion? Dunno..."ReplyDelete
I know! It's laziness with a side order of indifference.

Ocean cargo/global logistics: Two more carriers add capacity to transpacific
May 27, 2010
Evergreen and China Shipping will commence a new transpacific service later this month linking Los Angeles and Oakland with central and northern China to be called the China/South U.S. West Coast Service 2 (CPS2). This additional service is in response to the booming Asia/U.S. market. Rates for charter have been become more stable, too.
The port rotation is Oakland, Los Angeles, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Oakland. The CPS2 service will initially deploy five 4,000-TEU (twenty equivalent unit) vessels by Evergreen Line and China Shipping. Round-trip transit time will be 35 days.
The first vessel to depart will be "Ever Develop" from Qingdao on May 29 and expected to arrive in Oakland on June 13.
Evergreen is already involved in the original CPS service via a slot charter agreement with China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) on its Asia America Central (AAC) service. Ports on the CPS2 service are covered by the AAC/CPS service
The announcement comes at a time when spot rates are also firming up, noted analysts for Drewry Shipping Consultants.
The spot rate for shipping a 40-foot container from Hong Kong to Los Angeles was bumped up to $2,189 per FEU (forty equivalent units) earlier this month, in the week ended May 3.
The Drewry container rate benchmark for the Transpacific was 10.8 percent, or $213 per FEU, higher than the average rate of $1,976 per FEU recorded in the week ended April 26 and over $2,000 per FEU for the first time since February,
The latest spot rate was 112.8 percent higher than in the same week of 2009, when trans-Pacific rates were still heading down in the rate war that dragged carriers' bottom lines down as well.

My company is in the process of a slow migration from a simple Linux, Postfix, POP3 email server over to Zimbra - OSS. So far we have moved around 300 users over to Zimbra, and have about another 100 or so left on the old email system. The people we have left to migrate includes almost all of our Outside Sales force, which numbers around 70. These users currently have simple cellphones; however, there is a push within the organization to move them to some type of smart-phone so that they have more access to their email while on the road.
Outside the scope of this migration we also have about 20 Blackberry users. Since we do not have an Exchange server we have outsourced email for the these users to a third party who provide the necessary services so that these Blackberry users have full syncing, push email, etc. On one hand there has been some grousing amongst these users about the lack of support we receive from the 3rd party provider when they have issues. On the other hand they are generally happy with the Blackberries and some are pushing for the Outside Sales people to get them also.
I have limited knowledge of smart-phones. I don't do a lot of traveling for work, and when I'm home I'd just as soon fire up my laptop to check email. That said, I have been trying to get the organization to look at alternatives to the Blackberry for the following reasons: A) Right now, with us using the FOSS edition of Zimbra we would have to use the same, or a similar, 3rd party for Blackberry support. B) Even if we wanted to go the NE, with Zimbra mobile, native Blackberry support is not ready, so we would still need to go 3rd party. C) Even when native Blackberry support is available a BES server will still be necessary, which is another cost and another server to support.
Since I have limited knowledge and no experience with any of these devices, I am looking for suggestions, hopefully based on firsthand experience, of what alternatives to the Blackberry I can recommend that we evaluate. Since we are currently using the FOSS edition of Zimbra I would be interested in hearing about devices that work well with Zimbra with either POP3 or IMAP email, keeping in mind that a move the NE, with Zimbra Mobile, is a possibility in the future.

Employers will be less willing to provide 401(k) retirement plans if Congress reduces their current tax treatment, according to a survey of 516 companies by the American Benefits Institute, the educational research arm of the American Benefits Council.
The survey, conducted by Mathew Greenwald & Associates and released Dec. 11, asked employers about specific tax proposals that could come up during fiscal cliff negotiations, including a "20-20" proposal to limit contributions to $20,000 or 20 percent of compensation; a refundable tax credit instead of the current tax exclusion; and a proposal to limit the tax exclusion for workers in the 35 percent tax bracket to 28 percent.
Almost half of employers, 46 percent, said they would consider dropping their plans under the 28 percent tax credit scenario, while one-third would do so in the event of a limited tax exclusion or under the 20-20 proposal.
Employers with 1,000 or more workers were more likely to consider cutting benefits or dropping plans altogether, the survey found.
The survey also showed 91 percent of employers believe the current tax exclusion for 401(k) plan contributions is important to their workers' decision to contribute to the plan and 72 percent say that workers contribute more because of it.
Among the respondents, 84 percent of employers found workplace-based 401(k) plans valuable. "Employers believe that they provide real value in attracting and retaining employees," said Mathew Greenwald, president and CEO at the eponymous firm, on a conference call.
"As part of a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, or in the context of broader deficit reduction next year, the current tax-deferred treatment 401(k) contributions could be changed to generate short-term federal revenue," said James A. Klein, ABC president, during the call. "This survey demonstrates that it would be shortsighted and ill-advised for Congress and the president to do so."
"Not all tax expenditures are created equal," Klein said.

Iowa State Soccer Team Visits "Mighty Max"
AMES, Iowa – Following a doubleheader against South Dakota State and Creighton, the Iowa State soccer team had dinner with 12-year-old Max Low, who has been battling leukemia since he was in kindergarten.
Low has received national attention after the Ottumwa Courier published a letter to the editor about Low. The letter to the editor was linked to a Facebook page about supporting Low in an effort for him to receive 1,000,000 letters. As a result, the Low family has been receiving nearly 2,000 support letters a day from all across the world.
Low, who is referred to as Mighty Max because of his courageous multi-year fight with leukemia, met the Cyclones for a spaghetti dinner in Omaha this past Saturday and left an indelible impression on the members of the soccer squad.
"Visiting Max was truly inspiring," Iowa State junior Mary Kate McLaughlin said. "Max is battling cancer at the young age of 12, and I can only imagine the challenges that he has faced and continues to face every day. However, his attitude and outlook on life was nothing short of optimistic; it was absolutely inspiring. His smile lit up the entire room as soon as he walked in. We were fortunate enough to be able to speak with him briefly, and he was very appreciative of the time we took to visit him."
Sophomore Megan Long was had a similar experience to McLaughlin after the Cyclones met Low.
"It was awesome to know that we could do something as a team that could really make a difference for Max," Long said. "We were able to contribute some donations for him and all write letters to help him achieve his goal of one million letters. The personal interaction with Max was great for the team as well because Max and his family were really grateful that we were there. It was neat to see that taking some time out of our day can really make a difference."
Visiting Max is not something out of the ordinary for the Cyclone soccer team, as the squad has won the last two Cyclone Challenges. The Cyclone Challenge winner is the team with the most points earned through individual and team participation in CHAMPS/Life Skills events and attendance at Cyclone sporting events.
"For me individually, I think that it is really important that myself and the team take time out of our days to help people, such as Max or the community because we have been so blessed to be a part of Iowa State and the soccer team," Long said. "It is very important that we are helping others by giving our time, but it also benefits the team when we can do events like this together, knowing we are working with each other and achieving something together."

Dear Margaret,
I just watched "Assassin" the other day, and you are right on target when you talk about Christians and the overwhelming lack of compassion. I just read an article on Fred Phelps and his "God Hates Fags" propaganda, and I feel like crying.
I don't know who else to write to about this, I've read the articles on your site and I agree with you. What's more is I am a Catholic Christian straight military member who agrees with you. What you say and what you write seems so obvious, why others don't see it doesn't make sense to me.
I could write fan girl stuff for pages about how I understand wanting to be white so I could get good roles when I perform, or even the lighter side when talking about your gay friends, or drag queens. It's good to know I'm not the only one with that frame of mind.
May your voice never be silenced Margaret. The world needs more famous compassionate people. While you have the masses' ears say what must be said! In short, you rock sista'!
Thank you for making me realize I am beautiful even when I gain weight.

Dearest Fucking Margaret Cho,
You are an incredible, amazing, and brave person, and I can't believe how long it's taken me to read one of your books. Of course, I've seen you on Sex and the City, caught glimpses on comedy central, but I finally picked up "I have chosen to stay and fight" a few days ago and cannot put it down or stop reading excerpts to my friends. Seriously, everything you say strikes this resounding chord of truth and love deep in my soul. I am a French Canadian university student, and yet I feel we couldn't be more identical. What an example of the universality of the human condition. I particularly loved the Fuck It Diet. wow. story of my life, so now I am following the fuck it diet. This is new, and it will take a while to erase the guilt from eating "bad" food, but life is just too short, and I am getting over my Crazy Eyes.
Your intense political stance and willingness to shout out amidst the silent support of crazy white male motherfuckers is a complete and utter kick in my pants to remind me that there IS something I can do about all of this shit. and that is to love. you give me words to voice all the messed up feelings of despair, hopelessness, anger and frustration i have with the Bush administration and with our Western society as a whole.
I wish you would come and tour western Canada someday. or else I'll have to go find you in the Land of the Free!!
love forever,

Subject: From an "older" but staunch fan….
Hi Margaret:
I just wanted to let you know that you're one helluva funny lady & have brought hours of laughter into my life. I'm in my middle 50's, married to the same man for 28 years & have raised 2 children among my many claims to fame, lol. My life is dull at best. However, even though I already knew your comedic work, I discovered your Blog one night over a year ago, while researching my damned plantar's wart on the internet. I just couldn't believe how hard you made me laugh at something that had given me so much pain over the years. I became an instant, die-hard fan of your blogs. Your wit, humor, insight, and views on life in general are simply brilliant, as you're able to pen my thoughts as if reading my mind.
Even when suffering through the pain of helping my son battle heroin addiction, you were able to make me laugh. I cannot thank you enough for just "being there". I totally agree with you… I've never liked my friends because they were perfect, but because they had been to the depths & back, which gave them depth in character. I too, have suffered through many addictions throughout my life, only to emerge realizing that I really didn't want to die. I just wanted to be noticed, or loved, or cared about, or something. Anything. Anything but being ignored or unseen or unheard or not cared about or just ordinary. I also had a dear friend whom I did community theatre with, that died too young from AIDS. His death nearly took me with him. On my first to trip to New York (eons ago) he took me to my first gay bar where we danced all night till 3 in the morning. It was sheer excruciating pain watching him fade away from my reach, knowing there was no way I could ever repay him for all the fun we'd had together, or all the joy he'd brought into my life while he was here.
At any rate, I don't want to get off on one of my rants. I just want to let you know you have a kindred spirit out here in the Middle American Abyss. A frumpy housewife who once had dreams of being in Broadway musicals but wound up getting married & having children, as I was expected to do. I hope you don't mind if I occasionally live vicariously through you. It's such fun to do so. Keep those thoughts & opinions coming!

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- The Arlington Police Department ended its investigation of possible election offenses involving Jim Moran's son, Patrick on Thursday.
Officials say a criminal investigation began in late October 2012 after a video was released allegedly showing Patrick Moran, former Director of Field Operations for the Jim Moran for Congress campaign organization, helping another vote illegally.
Police say the investigation produced no illegal findings and no charges will be brought against Moran.
The investigation is now closed.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Democrats are renewing their demands that Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli resign after Cuccinelli belatedly disclosed about $13,000 worth of gifts he claims he forgot to note in four years' worth of economic disclosure reports.
State Sen. Don McEachin and Del. David Toscano were reacting to Cuccinelli's revelation to a handful of reporters with no broadcast press allowed late Friday afternoon that he failed to report five gifts.
Three of them were from Jonnie Williams, the CEO of the nutritional supplement maker Star Scientific. They included a $3,000 vacation stay and $1,500 Thanksgiving retreat and dinner at Williams' Smith Mountain Lake vacation home.
But McEachin and Toscano declined to urge Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe to disclose his full income tax returns as Cuccinelli did two weeks ago.

She is being held at the Juvenile Detention Center.

BOULDER, Colo. (VN) — Let's be honest: most of us would love to roll around on carbon hoops every day, if not for the various impracticalities doing so would provoke. They're light, sprightly, and look damn cool — the latter being more important than we'd care to admit. The problem is that carbon is ridiculously expensive to buy and replace, has a tendency to crack, and doesn't brake particularly well. Not a solid recipe for an everyday wheelset.
Mavic has an answer for those who have come to terms with their cycling vanity, accepting their lust for things black and carbon-looking as an untenable but utterly unavoidable force of nature. They even add a nice little performance boost to the equation. It's called Exalith, and it can be found on Mavic's Ksyrium SLR (tested here), Comete disc, Cosmic Carbone SLR, Cosmic Carbone SLE, and R-Sys SLR.
Tech specs
The Ksyrium SLR Exalith is the lightest clincher Ksyrium ever — our set came in at 1,419 grams. The front wheel gets 18 Zircal aluminum spokes, while the rear uses 10 crossed Zircal spokes on the drive size and 10 radial Tracomp carbon spokes on the non-drive side. The rims use Mavic's proprietary Exalith coating.
Like the K10 system introduced last year, the Ksyrium SLR is a wheel and tire system, coming packaged with Mavic's own Yksion GripLink (front) and PowerLink (rear) tires. The set also comes with the special brake pads, wheel bags, a computer magnet, bearing adjustment tool, spoke wrench, Tracomp ring tool, and quick releases.
Exalith is a super-hard, 10-micron thick rim coating. The technology adds to the wear life of aluminum rims, and allows Mavic to machine tiny grooves into the rim itself, increasing braking friction. It also colors rims a carbon-esque anthracite black. Exalith rims require special brake pads — regular pads will be eaten alive by the hard grooved surface (as I found out, see below).
The hardness also allows Mavic to machine an additional 10g off each rim, and along with increasing brake-track life, decreases the chance of hairline cracks at the spoke outlets.
Since the Exalith is just a coating, it is possible to damage it and have the aluminum rim underneath show through. Quartz is harder, so bits of sand stuck in a brake pad can wear a groove into the coating. That said, Mavic is confident that the coating extends rim life considerably, though company officials aren't comfortable placing exact figures on it.
"So much of wear depends on riding conditions and how the wheels are used," explained Mavic marketing manager Zack Vestal. "Our engineers are uncomfortable making claims they can't back up with repeatable data. But it's a safe bet they'll last a lot longer."
The ride
The ride quality of Ksyriums is a known quantity — it's always been good, and it still is. They Ksyrium SLR's spin up nicely thanks to the light rims and are both stiff and ultra durable. They're not the most aero (OK, maybe they're quite literally among the least aero), but as a racing and training workhorse wheelset, they're tough to beat. Price is higher than the regular Ksyriums, but these are better — and don't forget all the other bits that come in the box, including tires.
The Exalith coating and machined grooves provide the best braking I've experienced from any wheelset, bar none. Raw power is phenomenal, and modulation is still surprisingly good. Rain has very little impact on performance. Even the first grab, when the water hasn't been shed from the rims yet, is powerful — it's easy to see why Garmin-Cervélo riders were snatching up Exalith wheels for rainy stages of the Tour this year.
I would go as far as to call the Exalith rims confidence inspiring. The braking is so consistent, and so powerful, that I was able to come into corners just a hair faster than I usually do. The wheels themselves helped here too: they're stiff in the corners and the low profile rims don't catch unexpected wind gusts. The Ksyrium SLR's quickly became my favorite mountain wheels, equally as pleasurable going up as going down.
Though Mavic advises against it, Exalith would be fantastic for cyclocross. Wet-weather braking is key, and Exalith has the best available. The rims would undoubtedly get a bit scratched up, but the terrific stopping power would remain. For 2012, a R-Sys Exalith tubular set will be available that would fit the bill — just don't expect to file a warranty claim when your rims don't look pretty anymore, Mavic doesn't condone using their wheels in such conditions. "Use them for cross at your own risk," says Vestal.
The Yksion GripLink and PowerLink tires were actually quite impressive. I had zero flats, and they still appear to be in great shape. No cuts or holes, even in the softer front tire. The rear hasn't even begun to flatten out yet. Ride quality is on par with other high-end clinchers like Continental's GP4000 or the Michelin Pro3.Pages: 1 2

Three Cyclones Earn WGCA All-America Scholar Honors
AMES, Iowa - With the conclusion of its historic season, the Iowa State women's golf team has even more to be proud of after the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) announced today their selections for the 2013-14 All-American Scholar Team. Cyclones Cajsa Persson, Carmen Vidau and Prima Thammaraks have all been chosen to receive this prestigious honor.
The WGCA All-American Scholar Team is comprised of 664 Division I, II and III women's collegiate golfers. Athletes must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 in order to make the cut.
Persson concluded the 2013-14 season with a stroke average of 74.41, three top-10 finishes and two sub-70 rounds.
Vidau, in her freshman season, compiled a stroke average of 77.13 and competed in the 2014 NCAA Championships, the school's first-ever appearance in the NCAA finals.
Thammaraks ended her career at Iowa State with a 74.38 stroke average in 2013-14. Her career 75.17 stroke average ranks third all-time in school history.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Last month, Cobb County had more applications for concealed weapon permits than it had in any month in the last six years, according to the Probate court that manages such permits. It's on pace to have even more this month.
"I travel some by myself. So it's always good to have some protection. And not be afraid to use it," said Sallie Underwood, who was applying for a permit for her .38 revolver Thursday.
The desire for protection, permit applicants say, is heightened by horrifying incidents of mass murder now too numerous to count. But it extends to politics-- those of the second amendment, and those of gun control.
"And I just don't think that anything like that should supercede our second amendment rights," said Michele Benoit, who was applying to renew her permit to carry a firearm.
"Considering everything that's going on politically, we're not sure really how long we have to fill this (permit application) out," said Raven Danger, who was sitting nearby applying for a permit as well.
The twin triggers of gun politics and self-protection now inflate the lines of people at gun shows, like one in Cobb County a few days ago. It drives the purchase of ammunition to the point of shortage. And it swells the ranks of people attending a firearms safety seminar scheduled later this month in Marietta.
"This seminar here has actually exploded in popularity," said
Officer David Baldwin of the Marietta Police Department. He says he has booked an 800 seat auditorium for a gun class that usually seats one hundred.
"One of the biggest questions we get is 'when can I legally defend myself?' and by using deadly force," Baldwin said.
In Georgia, the voices of gun control are a small minority in a red state where even Democrats boast of their ties to the NRA. One has introduced a bill to restrict assault rifles. But the Georgia legislature also has bills pre-filed that would allow guns on university campuses and in churches and would allow concealed weapons without permits.

OPD: Lawyer's Rolex stolen in courthouse restroom
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.
A local attorney's Rolex watch was reported stolen from a restroom at the Marion County Judicial Center, according to Ocala police.
Parvesh Bobby Rumalla told an officer that on Monday between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., he was in the restroom on the second floor of the courthouse when he took off his Rolex Submariner to wash his hands. Rumalla said he turned around to dry his hand. When he turned back around, the watch was gone.
Officials said it was valued at $13,450.
The attorney said he checked the restroom with security but was unsuccessful in finding the watch. There were three other men there; however, Raumalla said he did not see any of them take the watch.
Anyone with information about the case can call the Ocala Police Department at 369-7000, Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com. Tips can be sent via the MyPD App, which allows for anonymity, or by texting 274637 using keyword 368STOP.

Ah, yes. Right now, yes.
- Novak Djokovic on whether his almost 6-hour win over Rafael Nadal in the men's final at the Australian Open was the greatest win of his life
Astounding. There really are no words to describe this match and even less for how Nole was able to pull it out. And, now he's one away from a "Nole Slam."
I guess the talk of whether he could continue the form from last year have been unequivocally squashed. He went to a level I don't think anyone has ever achieved is a single match, nevermind in the finals of a major. As for Rafa, he was, as always, gracious in defeat and said he enjoyed the "suffering." This one was special.
I told you it was gonna be good...really REALLY good.

Greener than thou
Earth Day 2006 arrives with some evangelicals making a controversial push for radical environmental legislation
"Greener than thou" Continued...
NASA scientist James Hansen delivered a doomsday message on 60 Minutes last month, declaring that unchecked global warming will reach an unstoppable tipping point in 10 years. Time magazine followed suit with a cover headline, "Global Warming: Be Worried. Be Very Worried." Such excitement is shaping public opinion and even influencing the ministerial agendas of well-known evangelicals.
The Evangelical Climate Initiative (ECI), a statement signed by 86 prominent Christian leaders, outlines the catastrophic dangers of global warming and cites biblically mandated stewardship as the impetus for governmental restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. Support from such highly visible sources as Purpose Driven Life author Rick Warren and Foursquare Church president Jack Hayford gives the ECI an unprecedented measure of credibility among those typically leery of environmental causes.
But how exactly did so many influential, responsible evangelicals untangle the convoluted web of climate change issues? How did they develop such certainty on such a complicated matter? Perhaps they didn't.
Inundated with media interview requests following the ECI's release in early February, Mr. Warren issued an official statement outlining his reasons for signing the document. The statement betrays an aversion to specific policy, focusing on Mr. Warren's general hope that evangelicals take stewardship seriously. "He's advocating that we take a look at it and say, 'It's possible that emissions are harmful, damaging, and destructive,'" explained Peb Jackson, who has worked closely with Mr. Warren on public-policy issues for the past two years.
Such an openhanded tack deviates from the ECI position, which states unequivocally that climate change "is being caused mainly by human activities" and advocates "national legislation requiring sufficient economy-wide reductions in carbon dioxide emissions." The press release from Mr. Warren, who could not be reached for comment, moves him much closer to the camp of critics of ECI who are skeptical of unabashed certainty and want to look harder before leaping. Indeed, in response to questioning about trustworthy authorities on the issue, Mr. Jackson recommended Jay Richards, a research fellow at the Acton Institute who has publicly criticized the ECI's policy directives.
When asked for comment on that peculiar recommendation, Mr. Richards expressed little surprise: "Perhaps many of those who signed the Evangelical Climate Initiative were primarily concerned with the issue of whether we should be stewards of God's creation, which, of course, yes, that's non-negotiable. But the specific policy position, I don't know if everyone that signed it looked carefully and thought carefully about the consequences of that."
Robert W. Yarbrough, chair of the New Testament department at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, signed the statement because he viewed it "as raising cautionary flags rather than making sweeping, definite, quantified pronouncements." He maligns "grossly one-sided uses of statistics that make it sound like we can remedy things with some easy top-down legislation. That wouldn't solve the problem at all." Informed that such comments echo the sentiments of ECI critics, Mr. Yarbrough responded that "any document is susceptible to being hijacked and pushed in a direction that the signatories never intended. And maybe secretly the people that drafted [the ECI] intended for it to be a front for a juggernaut of their own making. I hope that's not the case."
Mr. Yarbrough is a member of the board of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), which has 53 denominational members that represent 30 million churchgoers, but he is glad that the NAE did not endorse the ECI, and instead left its recommendations a matter of individual conscience. A letter of concern from James Dobson, Chuck Colson, and other evangelical heavyweights prodded NAE president Ted Haggard to refrain from lending organizational support. Nonetheless, numerous NAE member churches circulated a bulletin insert directing churchgoers to the ECI website. Many pastors this month are employing sermon materials from ECI leaders to give their preaching a "Creation Sunday" spin.
Left-leaning organizations such as the Hewlett Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund have also offered support, each providing significant financial contributions to the ECI effort. Hewlett delivered roughly half a million dollars for print, radio, and television advertising, a gift that incensed a pair of well-known pro-life agencies. Concerned Women for America and Operation Rescue demanded ECI organizers return the money, citing Hewlett's record as a leading financial backer of such abortion-rights groups as Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
NAE vice president Rich Cizik defends such ECI financial partnerships as politically prudent and says they should not lead to guilt-by-association doubts of credibility. But in his same interview with WORLD, Mr. Cizik used guilt-by-association in an attempt to undermine the work of a leading global-warming skeptic, Patrick J. Michaels: "Read the Mother Jones cover story from last year on the scientists who are funded by ExxonMobil. Read where Patrick Michaels gets his funding."
Joel Hunter, pastor of Northland Church in Orlando, Fla., defended his signing of ECI on moral grounds: "Whether or not the other side is right, we're still doing the right thing because we're treating the earth with respect." Mr. Hunter views the science and economics surrounding the issue as secondary: "The moral command to take care of the earth in Genesis 2:15 really doesn't need to wait on scientific conclusion. We need to do this regardless of what the science of it is. We need to take care of the earth and do what we can to stop the pollution and accumulation of greenhouse gases, because it's just the right thing to do."
Contrary to Mr. Hunter's assertion, the ECI statement makes clear that "everything hinges on the scientific data." If reducing emissions is an unnecessary gesture that will cost so much that the poor will be hurt more than the environment is helped, is it still the right thing to do? Such uncertainty raises questions outside the expertise of most ECI signatories. Namely: How much climate change is human-induced? Will the planet warm to catastrophic levels? Are significant emissions reductions possible without serious economic repercussions?
ECI leaders have staked their position on the authority of scientific reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN-sponsored collaboration of multinational representatives. The most recent comprehensive IPCC report states that some of the climate changes in the past 50 years are attributable to human activities. The 2001 document further contends that "the projected rate and magnitude of warming and sea-level rise can be lessened by reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
The ECI statement dubs the IPCC "the world's most authoritative body of scientists and policy experts on the issue of global warming." But research scientist John Christy, a lead author on the IPCC report, disputes such a glowing endorsement: "Most of the folks in the IPCC are not climate scientists. It's luring and convenient for them to latch onto a simplified view, a Time-magazine-type view, of climate change." Mr. Christy recalls sharing a lunch table with three European representatives intent on producing a policy-directed IPCC report that would force the United States into signing the Kyoto Protocol (see sidebar). "The IPCC is supposed to be policy neutral," he told WORLD. "But if you create alarm, you kind of have an idea about what policy you want to have come out."
Much like 60 Minutes and Time magazine, the ECI claims scientific consensus in support of its position. In reality, the science is far too complex for certainty on either side. "These guys are going to try to tell you what the climate's going to be like in 2100, and the weatherman can't tell you what it's going to be like in five days," said Kenneth Chilton, director of the Institute for the Study of Economics and the Environment. "Weather is simple compared to climate. Let's get real here."
Roy Spencer, principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and former senior scientist for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, believes that small amounts of global warming could benefit the earth. "There isn't enough appreciation amongst the public about the uncertainty of the science, because it's the most dramatic claims that get the most press," he told WORLD. "We know from human history, warmer is better. Now, if it warms by 10 degrees Fahrenheit, that's not good."
Mr. Spencer views competing scientific projections of climate change as exercises in futility-vain attempts to model a global system with countless unknown variables. He contends that meaningful debate on the issue must account for the economic consequences of proposed policies: "People don't realize how painful it will be to substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
Mr. Chilton explains that CO2-emissions reductions would dramatically increase the cost of energy, dragging "down economic growth to potentially stagnation or shrinkage. That has huge implications on people's well-being, much larger than the possibility of sea-level rise."
Anticipating such objections, the ECI calls its proposals market-based and contends that low-CO2-emitting technologies will eventually pay for themselves. ECI signatory Clive Calver, pastor of Walnut Hill Community Church in Connecticut and former president of World Relief, cites precedent in rejecting the gloomy economic projections: "Most significant contributions evangelicals have made to social change have been accompanied by dire threats of the implications of economic collapse."
The problem for many Christians is that both sides of the global warming issue have credentialed authorities who make convincing arguments. The Bible itself calls for environmental stewardship but emphasizes the importance of helping the poor and does not resolve the current debate. Most past evangelical calls to stewardship have focused on clear biblical principles, shying away from specific policy positions and generating little national media attention. The ECI's attachment of moral imperatives to federally imposed limits on greenhouse gas emissions was new, and it generated prominent coverage from most every major news outlet in the country.
That's the way Union University professor David Gushee, the original drafter of the ECI statement, wanted it: "People are OK with statements of theological and ethical principle, but as soon as you put some specific policy into association with that, then the rubber hits the road and people start taking sides. That's what's happened here." Mr. Gushee said he intentionally departed from past policy-free evangelical calls for creation care because he felt morally convicted to do so.
Evangelical members of the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance, a group of prominent academics and clergy united in skepticism of global warming extremes, share no such conviction. ISA advisor P.J. Hill, an economics professor at Wheaton College, rejects making climate change policy an article of faith: "One can take very seriously the biblical mandate for stewardship and yet come down on very different sides depending on how one assesses the science and economics. The Bible does not give us the answer."
The nuclear option
Despite international scorn, Mr. Bush has maintained that top-down emissions restrictions like those called for in Kyoto Protocol would cripple economic growth
President Bush has never wavered in his defiance of the Kyoto Protocol, a voluntary emissions reductions pact signed by all seven of the other G8 nations in an effort to combat global warming. Despite international scorn, Mr. Bush has maintained that top-down emissions restrictions like those called for in Kyoto would cripple economic growth, hurting poor and rich alike.
Now, other G8 nations are struggling to meet their Kyoto commitments. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, one of the foremost original supporters of Kyoto, has softened his stance in light of economic damages. A recent study of Italy, Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom projected that meeting Kyoto commitments by 2010 would increase energy costs by as much as 40 percent and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Even if every G8 nation could reduce its emissions as outlined in Kyoto, proponents of the protocol admit the maximum projected benefit would yield no more than a 0.2-degree Fahrenheit reduction in warming over the next 50 years. And that assessment is likely overly optimistic, failing to account for a dramatic spike in emissions from China and India as they undergo their respective industrial revolutions.
At a G8 meeting in Moscow last month, the United States and Russia posed an alternative, long-term method for reducing emissions without harming economies: full-scale development of nuclear power. Environmentalists condemned the idea, citing concerns over potential power plant leaks. But nuclear power remains the only existing technology capable of significantly decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, an objective President Bush made clear in his January State of the Union address.
The goal of reducing foreign oil dependence is one shared by all sides of the climate change policy debate, suggesting a point of agreement from which to support an economy-wide transfer to renewable energy. Nuclear power will require at least two decades of development to make a significant impact, however, leaving extreme eco-pessimists unsatisfied.

Does the BC Hose connect to a Seaquest Air Source inflator? Do I have to remove the quick disconnect from my original hose and connecet to this hose?
Hello Clarence, yes that power inflator would work for your Seaquest BCD. You would need to take off your current power inflator off your 1st stage and replace it with the new hose. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
What parts or adaptors will I need to buy too use the Miflex BC hose on my Oceanic Air XS 2 regulator/Inflator? Would I be adapting the hose to fit the inflator nipple or changing the inflator nipple to fit the hose?
Hello Mike, you would need this hose: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-5/034044/Oceanic-Air-XS-II-Maxflex-Hose.html. That will work with your build in alt air.
What is the best length XS SCUBA Miflex hose do I need to buy to attach my Cressi size XL BCV to my Atomic M1 regulator? Thanks
The answer to my original question was of no use to me. It addressed S, M and L sizes (when I clearly said I had an XL size), and you say that a 26" size is standard but this product I am interested in does not come in a 26". Do I need to order the 25" for my XL or the much longer 29"? Thanks
What would I need to get this to work with my Zeagle Stiletto LTD and Octo-Z?
Unfortunately this hose should not be used with an adapter for a breathable inflator. You could order a standard Miflex regulator hose and then add this adapter http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-37/034114/IST-Standard-Low-Pressure-Regulator-Hose-to-Oceanic-Air-XS2-Inflator-Hose.html
Darricks answer to Linda is the opposite of Aarons answer to seizoh. Which is it? Will the hose work with ScubaPro inflators or not?
Hello Fred, I miss read the questions. If you are looking for the attachment for your Scuba Pro inflator then you need to look at http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-5/034388/XS-Scuba-ScubaPro-Style-QD-Adapter.html. Then this would attach into a standard low pressure hose.
Does this hose have the quick disconnect coupling? Will I be able to use it to connect to my Oceanic Biolite BCD inflator hose? Thanks!
What is the difference between the Lp hose and regulator hose? ( Im looking for a 26 inch pink hose for my Octo Z and have ordered the adapter from Zeagle).
