Some teens from Virginia are in town on a mission to serve, but one local church hopes the kids will get more than they give.
This is the P2 Mission in action: washing, vacuuming and putting your back into it.
Right now we are helping set up for like a bbq cook out type of thing that is going on this afternoon," said P2 Missions member Thomas Long.
P2 is a reference to the bible's book of Philippians 2:1-4.
"It basically says we should be one as in body and in our words and basically that means we should be serving each other in any way so that people can come to know Christ," said P2 Missions communication specialist Breanna Troutman.
With that in mind, 15 Virginia teens are hard at work at Allentown's Riverbend Community Church.
Ministering in the community, helping at a food bank...and making sure things are ready for Sunday.
"This is a huge blessing to have the kids come out, said Riverbend Executive Pastor Ryan Knepp.
"We live in a very selfish culture in general and to see kids be able to put all that aside and come and serve people they don't even know in an area that we love here in the Lehigh Vally is huge."
Knepp says he hopes the teens get more than than give while here in the Valley this week, and from the looks of it, they are.
"It made me feel kind of a live trying to reach out to the community. Just trying to make it a little better," said P2 MIssions Member Katelyn Bray.
Knepp says he hopes the students will take that feeling back to their own communities.
P2 organizers say this Christian community service project is coast to coast, 16,000 teens strong.

One of the oldest Facebook scams is back - again.
The colour change scam tricks users into downloading malware via a site that claims to let users change the colours of their Facebook profile.
The latest iteration of the scam has already affected more than 10,000 people around the world, according to Cheetah Mobile, a Chinese internet company that highlighted the most recent appearance of the scam in its blog.
The malware begins by advertising an app that tells Facebook users they can change the colour theme of their profile. Download the app and you're directed to a malicious phishing site, according to Cheetah Mobile's security researchers.
The website targets users in two ways. First it steals the users' Facebook Access Tokens by asking them to view a colour changer tutorial video. Temporary access to the tokens allows hackers to connect to the user's Facebook friends.
If a user doesn't view this video, the site then tries to get them to download the malicious application. If a user is on a PC, the site leads them to download a pornographic video player. If the user is on an Android device, the site issues a warning saying the device has been infected and advises users to download a suggested app.
Though the scam has been debunked repeatedly over the last two years, again and again, it seems like it just won't go away.
The problem, according to Cheetah Mobile, stems from "a vulnerability that lives in Facebook's app page itself, allowing hackers to implant viruses and malicious code into Facebook-based applications that directs users to phishing sites."
It's not clear if Facebook plans to fix this vulnerability. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Anyone who has already fallen victim to the scam should uninstall the app immediately (this can be done from the "app" menu in your Facebook settings) and change their Facebook password.
Cheetah Mobile also recommends disabling Facebook's apps platform altogether—to ensure other malicious apps can't be installed in the future— but this will affect your ability to use third-party apps that rely on Facebook for login or other information.

Valley Christian shifting to 4-day week to offer more electives
Valley Christian School is moving to a four-day week next year in order to offer students more electives.
"It's not a new concept," said administrator Nathan Williams, who previously worked in a public charter school in Oregon.
It's something Oregon schools have been doing for a while, often as a way for cash-strapped districts to save money. In a 2008 Time magazine story, 100 districts in 17 states had moved to a four-day school week after the price of diesel rose sharply.
When Williams arrived at Valley Christian last fall, he started looking into ways to offer students classes such as band and choir. He also polled students and their parents about electives they would like to see.
The No. 1 choice was photography. The No. 2 choice was outdoor survival skills.
Williams said in order to offer more electives they would have to add a couple of hours to each school day. Because Fridays are full of disruptions – including spelling bees, academic competitions, parent-teacher conferences and athletics – the school came up with the idea of a four-day week.
"Monday through Thursday is sacred time," Williams said. Those days would be dedicated to instruction, with no other distractions.
For families who rely on school as a place to send their children on Fridays, the school will be open. Williams said Fridays would include physical education classes, Bible study, computer time, library time, snacks, recess and lunch, but no new concepts will be introduced on those days.
"It's not child care," he said. "It's a true academic day."
Families will be able to sign up each week to attend on Friday, Williams said. In-house substitute teachers will be used and there will be no additional charge for Fridays.
Williams said next year the school will also add preschool. Valley Christian School has traditionally served students in kindergarten through the 12th grade.
Before deciding to move to a four-day week, Williams said the school asked parents and staff members about the idea.
"We've overcommunicated for a couple of months now," Williams said. Normally, about 40 percent of the parents respond to surveys. Williams said he and his staff made many phone calls to get input and boosted that number to 70 percent.
Of those who responded, 88 percent approved of a four-day week. About 8 percent were still on the fence and only 4 percent had issues with it. Williams said those numbers matched up with the staff members who were polled.
The photography class began in January with 12 juniors and seniors. The students learn about digital photography, use memory cards and use computers to edit their photos.
Next year, the outdoor survival class will teach students about edible plants, starting a fire and tying knots, among other skills. There will also be other options available, such as weight training and even extracurricular activities like cheerleading.
"I'm excited for it," said Valley Christian junior Grant Marchant. "Longer weekends are always a plus." He said the outdoor survival class looks interesting as well as the weight training.
Danielle Weik, also a junior, said she likes the idea of an extra day for homework.
"I'm excited for it, especially for athletes to have a little bit of a break during the week," Weik said.

Democrats share a deep commitment to…reducing greenhouse gas emissions more than 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050; and meeting the pledge President Obama put forward in the landmark Paris Agreement, which aims to keep global temperature increases to "well below" two degrees Celsius and to pursue efforts to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius. We believe America must be running entirely on clean energy by mid-century.
There is an obvious difference between the first quoted sentence and the last one, but presumably the stricter objective in the last sentence is the binding goal.
The final draft of the Republican Party platform, on the other hand, states that:
The Republican Party is committed to domestic energy independence….The role of public officials must be to encourage responsible development across the board. Unlike the current Administration, we will not pick winners and losers in the energy marketplace. Instead, we will let the free market and the public's preferences determine the industry outcomes. In assessing the various sources of potential energy, Republicans advocate an all-of-the-above diversified approach, taking advantage of all our American God-given resources. That is the best way to advance North American energy independence….
Coal is a low-cost and abundant energy source with hundreds of years of supply. We look toward the private sector's development of new, state-of-the-art coal-fired plants that will be low-cost, environmentally responsible, and efficient….
The current Administration – with a President who publicly threatened to bankrupt anyone who builds a coal-powered plant – seems determined to shut down coal production in the United States, even though there is no cost-effective substitute for it or for the hundreds of thousands of jobs that go with it as the nation's largest source of electricity generation. We will end the EPA's war on coal and encourage the increased safe development in all regions of the nation's coal resources, the jobs it produces, and the affordable, reliable energy that it provides for America. Further, we oppose any and all cap and trade legislation.
It would be difficult to imagine a greater contrast between the two platforms on climate. The first envisions very intrusive Federal Government intervention in the energy markets in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions; the second recommends that the Federal Government allow markets to determine the use of various energy sources except for an interest in achieving national energy independence.
2050 sounds like a long time from now, but such a change to actually end fossil fuel use would require a long lead time given the life of the assets in the housing and other buildings and the transportation sectors, in the highly unlikely case that it could be achieved at all. Since there is no economic, scientific, or environmental basis for government intervention, I strongly favor the Republican Party platform on climate and believe that the Democratic platform would result in an economic disaster.]]>
I believe it would be, although our understanding of global climate is sketchy at best so absolute confidence is not appropriate. Higher atmospheric levels of CO2 have been shown to result in higher plant growth, and plants are the basis for the Earth's ecosystem and human food. The availability of atmospheric CO2 is an important constraint to plant growth, particularly at the current historically relatively low levels (in geologic terms), which amount to a starvation level for many plants.
There is no scientific basis for believing that modest increases in atmospheric levels of CO2 will have catastrophic effects despite the misdirected efforts of the UN and alarmist scientists. Attempts to restrict human CO2 emissions serve no useful purpose for anyone except wind and solar industries looking for customers, sensation-seeking news media looking for readers, environmentalists looking for a cause to attract contributions, climate "scientists" looking for more government grants, and politicians looking for increased government revenue to spend on their favorite boondoggles.
Long term averages of global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 have been falling over hundreds of millions of years. Historically, Earth is about due for a new ice age, which have become more severe over time. The Little Ice Age made life much harder for humans and the current interglacial period has seen the blossoming of human welfare and civilization never before seen primarily because of the use of energy from fossil fuels. A new ice age really would be catastrophic for humans and all other life on Earth.
So the long term imperative is to avoid a new ice age or even a new Little Ice Age. Wealthy humans can easily adapt to minor changes in global temperatures. What they probably cannot adapt to is an advancing ice sheet that could cover much of the Northern US and other northern areas, just as they have every 100,000 years in recent geologic history. Americans currently prefer warmer climates for retirement and air conditioning has encouraged them to move to such places. None of the alleged catastrophic effects of modest increases in global temperatures have proved correct to date and there is no scientific basis for alleged catastrophic increases in global temperatures as a result of modestly higher atmospheric levels of CO2. There may be minor increases in global temperatures from increased human-caused CO2 emissions (although even this is far from certain) but no catastrophic effects.
So I see only net benefits from modest increases in atmospheric CO2 levels. Now as to the means for accomplishing this, one obvious possibility is to end and reverse most attempts to reduce CO2 increases such as wind and solar, and obtain energy mainly from fossil fuels, preferably high-CO2 generating fuels such as coal. This would mean scrapping all the high cost, unsightly, and dangerous wind and solar sources on which Western nations have wasted so many resources in recent decades. If still more CO2 emissions are desired, economic incentives can be offered for burning more fossil fuels.
So the environment would be better off (provided justified emissions controls are continued for conventional pollutants), humans would be better off by not wasting resources on CO2 emissions reductions, and the chances that Earth can avoid a new ice age might be slightly improved. A new ice age is what must be avoided, not minor increases in global temperatures, which would be beneficial and might help forestall a new ice age.
Unfortunately, these important considerations were ignored by the USEPA in their haste to implement the then new Obama Administration's politically-motivated CO2 emissions reduction policies.]]>
But if the Government had stuck the bill to big business, such businesses would have simply moved out to other countries with lower electric rates, taking jobs and tax revenue with them. So like most governments they decided on a scheme of hitting up those least able to resist–households and small businesses. So the first government intervention in the electricity market–subsidies for wind and solar–led to the second–price discrimination against those least likely to be able to fight back.
Household electricity prices are now roughly three times higher than in the US and rising rapidly. This probably has not been noticed by the wealthy, but it has been by the less wealthy–who must give up something else they need like heat or clothing to make ends meet. And some large fossil fuel energy companies are currently headed for bankruptcy, so the next problem will be whether to let them go bankrupt or subsidize them too.
Since rising temperatures result in higher atmospheric CO2 levels for well understood reasons, but higher CO2 levels have little influence and no catastrophic effects on temperatures, there is no objective reason to worry about human CO2 emissions, but that has not stopped the Germans from pursuing their wind and solar boondoggles. These, in turn, have led to the problems just discussed.
The results of the Obama Administration's regulations requiring increased use of wind and solar will be no better than those in Germany and quite possibly worse. The US now leads the world in reductions of CO2 emissions by so far largely letting the markets make the decisions on energy pricing and energy sources. Government interventions which have now been mandated by the USEPA will result in still further later interventions to fix the problems caused by the previous interventions and in adverse effects mainly on the poor.
The best thing for the Federal Government to do is stay out of the electricity pricing market in the first place and let open competitive markets establish prices and energy sources. The argument that governments must intervene in markets to save the planet from global warming is based on politics, not science.]]>
Democratic operatives responsible for creating their party's platform this year have unanimously adopted a provision calling for the Department of Justice to investigate companies who disagree with Democrats on global warming science.
A panel of Democrats voted Friday to approve a final draft of the party's platform to promote "Progressive Democratic Values," which apparently includes investigating energy companies who "misled" shareholders about global warming.
Another joint proposal calling on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change was also adopted by unanimous consent," according to the Democratic National Convention's website.
The drafting committee, led by DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, has decided to back ongoing investigations by mostly Democratic state attorneys general into ExxonMobil's stance on global warming.
Currently, AGs [attorney generals] from California, Massachusetts, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands have launched investigations of Exxon, and at least two AGs have demanded records on conservative think tanks and scientists skeptical of global warming. Such targeting has only fueled calls that these investigations are an attack on free speech.
New York AG Eric Schneiderman was the first to launch an investigation into Exxon, based on reporting from eco-left wing reporters at InsideClimate News and Columbia University. Schneiderman hosted a conference in March with other AGs to announce more investigations into Exxon.
Republican lawmakers and AGs have pushed back, calling the investigations into Exxon and think tanks an assault on free speech….
The draft party platform now needs approval from the full platform committee in Orlando in July. That document will then need approval at the Democratic National Convention later this month.
The Democratic platform didn't just embrace prosecuting skeptics, it also approved a provision to get rid of fossil fuels by 2050.
Moving beyond the 'all of the above' energy approach in the 2012 platform, the 2016 platform draft re-frames the urgency of climate change as a central challenge of our time, already impacting American communities and calling for generating 50 percent clean electricity within the next ten years," reads the platform summary.
The Committee unanimously adopted a joint proposal from Sanders and Clinton representatives to commit to making America run entirely on clean energy by mid-century, and supporting the ambitious goals put forward by President Obama and the Paris climate agreement," according to the platform.
These proposals are extremely irresponsible and would be economically disastrous in the case of the ban on fossil fuels and unconstitutional in the case of the prosecution of skeptics. Since most other countries would not carry out similar reductions in fossil fuel use, this would result in a competitive disadvantage for the United States and any other country that adopts reductions. The prosecution proposal is contrary to the First Amendment of the Constitution guaranteeing free speech. The proponents claim that the First Amendment does not allow fraudulent statements. To my knowledge the only fraudulent statements have been made by the advocates of "climate change" control.
The skeptics have rather based their statements on very extensive and thorough reviews of the scientific literature. Attempts to punish free speech in this case would put in danger one of the fundamental precepts of the United States and set the stage for deciding many other scientific issues on the basis of political decisions rather than the scientific method. The Obama Administration had already made a decision on climate science when it came into office and refused to carry out a careful review of the science as they were required to do. The party platform would take the next steps of adopting the fantasy of eliminating fossil fuels and attempting to prosecute those who hold contrary views to those of the Government. Both proposals are beyond those currently adopted by the Obama Administration, and represent a far more radical approach.
Ending the use of fossil fuels would cripple the US economy by imposing huge costs for very little or no environmental gains, help our economic competitors by increasing their competitive advantages over the US, and cripple the capabilities of the US armed forces to defend the country. It would hurt primarily lower income families who would have to cut back in other areas in order to meet their basic needs for heating, cooling, and transportation, and other essential services provided by fossil fuels.
The persecution of critics is a hallmark of many totalitarian governments, but should not even be considered by political parties working under the US Constitution.]]>
The best known climate example is the so-called "Clean Power Plan," which has been stayed in an unusual action by the Supreme Court. The best known is the immigration decision by the Supreme Court also announced this week. The Wyoming court decision will no doubt be appealed, however, so the ultimate decision may depend on the future makeup of the Supreme Court.
The second major event was an interchange between Representative Lamar Smith and the USEPA Administrator during a hearing. The Administrator repeatedly evaded Smith's questions as to what the temperature change would be if the Paris protocol/treaty were somehow fully implemented. The interchange was as follows:
CONGRESSMAN LAMAR SMITH: "If the Paris Climate Agreement involving 177 countries was completely implemented, okay, the entire climate agreement completely implemented, you have distinguished scientists including Bjorn Lomborg and twenty-seven other top climate scientists including three Nobel laureates have concluded that the reduction in global warming would only be one-twentieth of a degree Celsius by 2030, one-sixth of a degree Celsius in the next eighty-five years. It sounds to me like if they're anywhere close to being right, then this Paris Climate Agreement is almost all pain and no gain. Why is that not the case?"
ADMINISTRATOR GINA MCCARTHY: "Well, no sir. The Paris Agreement was an incredible achievement that changed the direction of the world and is going to ultimately allow us–"
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "Do you disagree– Do you think the Paris Climate Agreement will have a greater impact on climate change then I just said and that these twenty-seven scientists said?"
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "I think it sets us on a course to work together on a planetary scale to address the biggest environmental–"
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "Understand. As far as the actual impact on climate change do you disagree with these twenty-seven top climate scientists–"
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "I disagree with the way in which you're characterizing it, Mr. Chairman. With all due respect, it is a tremendous step in the right direction."
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "No, no."
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "The numbers you're talking about–"
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "I know those are wonderful words. I'm talking about quantifying the impact. The impact is one-sixth of a degree over then next 85 years. If every country all 177 countries, implemented–"
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "Sir, there is not a single country that signed that expecting that the 2020 goals would get us where we need to be. It is a step in that direction–"
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "But, you don't disagree with the conclusion of these scientists as far as the climate agreement goes in Paris, as it stands right now?"
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "The agreement itself was designed as a step forward."
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "Understand."
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "It was not designed to produce all of the action–"
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "Understand. But, as far as the step forward goes, the step forward was as I described it?"
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "Well sir, you can't make a marathon without getting across the starting line."
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "Okay. It's clear you don't disagree with their conclusion. You may think it's a beginning, but you can't disagree with their conclusion."
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "I don't even know what their conclusion– the context of their conclusion. What I do know sir–"
CONGRESSMAN SMITH: "Again, it's reducing global warming one-sixth of a degree Celsius over the next 85 years."
ADMINISTRATOR MCCARTHY: "It's better than we were before and it's only the first step."
Hearing: Ensuring Sound Science at EPA
House Science Committee
June 22, 2016
Based on a ClimateDepot.com report.
Obviously whether "it's better than we were before" depends on whether doing what the Treaty requires is worth the huge cost. I have strongly argued that it is not. The refusal of the EPA Administrator to say what these benefits might be suggests that she may think they are not very impressive. If the current Treaty is only the first step, this is even worse since the ultimate cost would be far higher than has so far been announced. That makes it even less worth the ultimate cost given the declining effectiveness of added expenditures for such purposes.]]>
But there is no scientifically valid evidence that CAGW will occur regardless of what is done or not done, and considerable evidence that higher atmospheric levels of CO2 and slightly higher global temperatures would be beneficial, not harmful. Surely plants and probably humans would be better off with higher atmospheric CO2 levels, not lower levels.
Humans have succeeded in large part because they are highly adaptable, and are not limited to small ecological niches subject to minor climatic variations. Native groups have lived in the extreme north since the last ice age by praying primarily on sea mammals and building protection from the elements by adapting to the local conditions.
Human adaptability has been rapidly increasing thanks to access to fossil fuel energy and technological progress. Modern humans now winter over in Antarctica and are found in every latitude in between these extremes. They also have shown a strong preference for warmer temperatures, as illustrated by the voluntary movements by retirees to the south and southwest of the US. Plants and animals can also gradually change their range to adapt to changing climate. It takes longer, but has been going on for many millions of years.
What we need to fear is not gradual warming but descent into a new ice age, which is historically about due, and would bring huge suffering for humans and most other living things. So we should welcome gradual warming and fear large decreases in global temperatures. But the environmental movement and their political sympathizers instead want to spend even more resources on a hopeless and pointless effort to decrease human-caused CO2 emissions. So they have gotten just about everything wrong scientifically, and are now trying to use government law enforcement authority to prosecute those who do not agree with their ridiculous "science."]]>
A case in point is government selection of energy sources. No valid case has been made that such decisions are best made by government. Environmentalists often argue that the market fails to take into account the effects of fossil fuels on climate change/global warming and government should intervene to reduce these climate risks. The problem, of course, is that although fossil fuel use may well affect conventional pollutants (such as sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide), we already have the world's strictest standards in the US in this regard and the connection between fossil fuel use and climate is speculative at best while its connection to improved living standards is quite certain. If there are any such effects on climate, they are not catastrophic and appear to be minor at most. But that has not stopped alarmists (including environmentalists and left of center politicians) from claiming that government should intervene immediately to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.
Government's record in selecting or favoring particular energy sources does not inspire much confidence. For example, the Federal and some state governments subsidize wealthy people who want to buy electric cars. The intent of such purchases is often as a statement of the buyers' wealth or values, but does little if anything to reduce CO2 emissions. Most electricity for electric cars comes from fossil fuels–just different ones. So in those areas where it does, substituting electric vehicles for fossil fueled vehicles achieves little or nothing in terms of reducing CO2.
Perhaps the worst example is corn ethanol. Congress has decreed that ethanol made from corn must be blended with gasoline. This is expensive (corn ethanol is less efficient at running vehicles than gasoline), increases CO2 emissions on balance, and damaging to engines, particularly small engines, forcing users to buy chemicals to reduce these effects or search for and pay much higher prices for special ethanol-free gasoline or replace their small engines more frequently. Corn farmers and ethanol producers are major winners at the expense of everyone else. This is almost entirely about income redistribution.
Another example is California's use of its "cap and trade" revenue. It is supposed to be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the biggest expenditure to date has been for high speed rail. The cap and trade program is effectively a tax on CO2 emissions by industrial facilities, electricity generation, and heating and transportation fuel use. The major burden falls on those with limited incomes, who may lose their jobs as the jobs move to lower cost areas, and are paying more for vital electricity, home heating, and gasoline. The major beneficiaries, on the other hand, are users of a high speed rail project that is very likely to be ridden (if at all) by higher income users, just like those that now use Amtrak intercity services. Poor people usually ride buses, not trains.
To make matters worse, California plans to initially build the project between two low traffic cities in the Central Valley. High speed rail will not have any significant effect on CO2 emissions and may actually increase them depending on where the electricity comes from to run the trains and whether users actually decrease their use of other modes of transport. I would argue that the cap and trade revenue fund is primarily a slush fund to support public spending by the party currently in power in California.
So with this less than sterling record, why would anyone want to support much further government intervention in energy source selection as now mandated by the Obama Administration, especially when leaving it to market forces has produced much greater CO2 reductions (in the US) than strict government regulation (in Western Europe)?]]>
This week Secretary of State John Kerry strongly attacked Trump for his pledge to undo the proposed Paris Protocol/treaty on climate. Kerry claimed that Trump's pledge would be "reckless, counterproductive, self-destructive. It would be an act of extraordinary danger to our country….And it would in the end be an act of ignorance, of utter, unbelievable, contemptuous ignorance."
Kerry concluded that "I think that people are waking up now to the fact that the solution to climate change is actually energy policy" that can both create jobs and clean up the environment." This ignored the lack of any valid scientific basis for the Administration's energy policy and its very adverse effects on job creation and lack of significant relevance to environmental "clean up."
In the past Presidential nominees have generally tried to obscure and downplay their views on climate/energy, presumably in hopes of getting votes from both sides of this contentious issue. But we now have a clear distinction between the two parties' candidates (with the partial exception of Clinton) on climate/energy policy, which hitherto has never been so clearly laid out by major party candidates. The Democratic candidates are clearly abandoning lower income citizens who are the ones that will be most hurt by their candidates' climate/energy policy in favor of the views of higher income environmentalists. Trump, on the other hand, is clearly supporting the interests of lower income citizens in this respect. This realignment of the two parties' policy positions is of considerable importance for the future of both parties and represents what may prove to be a historic shift.
So it is now fairly clear what the various Presidential candidates' climate/energy policies will be if elected and what the consequences of the election are likely to be for climate/energy policy over the next 4-8 years. Of course the next President is not the only decision maker concerning climate/energy. But if he/she has four or more years to get his/her way it is difficult to see how he/she cannot get his/her way despite the views of Congress and the courts. Among other things, the new President will be able to propose at least one new Supreme Court justice reflecting his/her views, which is likely to make all the difference in the Court's reviews of Administration actions.]]>
Trump's proposed policy includes the following: Approval of the Keystone XL pipeline; cancellation of the Paris climate protocol/treaty; withdrawal of the EPA power plant greenhouse gas regulations and probably others; market competition between various fuels; increased output of coal; US self-sufficiency in energy; a halt to funding to the UN on global warming; and opening of many more Federal lands to energy development.
I strongly support Trump's energy policy and hope that it becomes official US Government policy. This is the first time that a major party candidate has so clearly stated an alternative to the alarmist climate viewpoints. The alternative offered by the two Democratic Presidential candidates is to make the EPA power plant regulations even more strict in the short run and to ban the use of all fossil fuels by the US in the longer run. The latter literally cannot be done without a huge setback to the US standard of living and without greatly decreasing US military effectiveness. If Trump's policy should be implemented, the US will have dodged a major bullet at the last minute before major economic damage would have occurred.
Unfortunately, that would not be the end of the major problem posed by the current "green" climate movement, but should greatly slow it in both the US and internationally. From a longer term viewpoint, what is needed is a reconciliation of the environmental movement's views on environmental issues such as climate with those of their many critics, or if that is not possible, bringing much more widespread attention to the skeptic viewpoint than has occurred to date. I hope that Trump, if elected, can bring this about despite the great difficulty of doing so given that the alarmists have not been willing to even consider the skeptics' viewpoints.
Virtually every institution that might be expected to provide an impartial analysis (such as major media, scientific societies, and the National Academy of Sciences) has gone firmly on record on the alarmist side, so the reconciliation would have to take place through the creation of a new institution such as a Presidential commission on major environmental issues. Under current circumstances climate alarmists simply ignore the skeptics and their views and accuse them of having sold out to allegedly evil fuel suppliers. A way must be found to open a useful dialogue if the open warfare that has characterized recent decades is to end and real environmental concerns are to be addressed without destroying the US economy.
Trump says that he wants to deal with real environmental issues, so perhaps such a commission should review the need for, benefits, and costs of various types of environmental improvements including climate. This should not prevent early action as outlined by Trump this week, but hopefully could be used to create the much needed dialogue. The environmental groups could not afford to boycott if they wanted to have any influence over the next four or even eight years should Trump be elected.]]>
As shown in this new graph from the US Energy Information Administration, CO2 emissions from the electric power sector (the largest source of human-caused CO2) have been reduced by 21% from the high in 2005, and government actions have had little or nothing to do with it.
Rather, it has been done by the independent actions of the fossil fuels markets where they have been allowed to operate largely without government intervention (which largely excludes a few blue states like California and New York, which restrict or prohibit fracking).
So how could this be? The answer is that more widespread use of fracking and other new techniques used by the natural gas industry has greatly lowered the cost of natural gas by greatly expanding supplies. Besides helping many natural gas users, this makes natural gas more competitive with coal and other sources of energy for producing electricity. Burning natural gas emits roughly half the CO2 that coal does per unit of electricity generated. And prior to the imposition of most legal limitations on CO2 emissions this has resulted in substitution of natural gas for coal in generating electricity. Yet environmental organizations oppose the use of fracking whenever possible.
So why send them contributions to "prevent climate change" but which ends up getting used in part to try to reduce fracking, which increases CO2 emissions? If the environmental organizations just ignored the climate and fracking issues everyone would be better off. Their efforts to date in these areas have primarily led to endless political and legal battles and little or no "progress" towards their dubious goal of reducing CO2.]]>

Recent reviews
Good 3.7 /5 from 155 reviews
I did not like this hotel from the start. It had an antiquated safety box with no instructions. Staff was hard to understand when offering assistance and when I tried to use elevator to go to main floor to talk with staff, the elevator would not descend. The location is a little deceiving. It's actually part of a long stretch of building with 4 or 5 hotels connected. My hotel was about 3 or 4 back from the street and the ocean. The condition of the room was not very warm or welcoming. The tiled floor would make creaking sounds wherever I walked. The balcony overlooked some sort of dilapidated apartment building. This was my first time to Phuket and I used some of my time there to look for a better hotel and location to stay next time I go there.
This is a nice Hotel for a good value. You are at center at Karon Beach, and the Hotel is 200 meter from the beach road, and 220 meter from the beach. Easy to go either left or right to shops and center town.
Only bad thing I can mention about this hotel is that they need to upgrade the curtains in the room they let far to much light in . Apart from that the hotel was fantastic.
This hotel has an ant infestation issue, I saw ants in the room and outside the room everywhere. I also saw a cockroach in the hallway. Flies in the lobby. One of the ladies at the front desk had a bad attitude, she always looked unhappy dealing with customers. As someone who has worked in the hotel industry, I wonder why she is working at front desk.
Room was very small. Shower did not work well.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Laura was tired of the dating scene or at the very least the relationship scene. By the time the 24-year-old from Maryland got to CatholicMatch, all she wanted was to go on some dates with nice guys, but to keep it casual, just have dinner, and maybe hear that she was pretty, without worrying about whether this was the one.
Michael and Laura.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
6/18/2014 (2 years ago)
Published in Marriage & Family
Michael was five years older, living a little bit up the East Coast in New Jersey. He joined CatholicMatch because he wanted a solid Catholic woman to spend the rest of his life with. He and Laura would each find what they were looking for.
When Michael looked at Laura's profile, he liked her sense of humor. Laura enjoys re-enacting Saturday Night Live skits and comedy films, and she appreciated that Michael got her jokes. When she clicked on his profile in return, she was no less impressed.

He loves to travel, Laura said, regarding what jumped out at her regarding Michael. I am the youngest of ten kids and two of my brothers are priests and have been stationed all over the world, so I have traveled since I was very young. It also impressed Laura that Michael was close to his parents and was open to having more than three kids. The idea of going to New Jersey might not have thrilled her, but Michael had her attention.
It was almost a year ago, last June that Michael and Laura went to a movie and then out for dessert. Michael said later that it was love at first sight for him as Laura, adorned in her green dress went sprinting through the rain in her heels into the theatre, he recalled thinking she was more beautiful than her pictures. To paraphrase Gene Kelly, Michael was truly Singin In The Rain.
After a date full of laughter, Michael confidently went to work the next day and told his co-workers I'm gonna marry that girl. It was something he had never thought before with anyone.
There was one problem Laura wasn't at the same place, at least not yet, and she was still thinking about meeting a lot of guys and going on a lot of dates. A few weeks later, Michael ruined Laura's plans by asking her not to see anyone else. She had to make a choice.
In truth, the choice wasn't hard. Not only was Michael a solid Catholic, but he and Laura shared a wide range of interests. She is in a graduate program studying music therapy, and he is an avid music lover that enjoys going to concerts with her. They both love movies, being with their families and spending time at the shore. For Laura, being in a relationship with a man like this was well worth giving up her original dating plans.
It was one special moment, early in their relationship, that convinced Laura she was with the right guy.
When we started dating, I was working at a pediatric hospital, Laura recalled. One of patients died from cancer, a little three-year old girl. I had never lost a patient before, let alone such a young, beautiful child. I played and sang music as her family members were around her saying goodbye. As you can imagine, I was an emotional wreck.
At dinner that night, Michael just held me as I cried, Laura continued. He didn't try to fix the situation, but supported me as I processed. The next morning I got a delivery of flowers at work from Michael telling me how he hoped I was having a better day it doesn't get much better than that.
This past January, Michael and Laura were planning on going to Atlantic City to meet with some friends of his. They were running late and Laura was getting annoyed. Michael told her he had found a video she had asked about from YouTube. I told him I asked for no such video and we should get going, Laura said. Michael had to force me to sit down in front of his TV to watch this video.
The video started with the song Just Say Yes, by the group Snow Patrol. It was a favorite song of Laura, but not many people knew it, so she was surprised it was in the movie. Then the words came across the screen Seven months ago, a Jersey boy met the girl of his dreams. Laura knew instantly what was happening and started to cry. The video included words of Michaels love, a montage of pictures and ended with him pulling out a beautiful diamond ring and asking for her hand in marriage.
Laura said yes, and as she was calling her family and friends with the news, a limo driver arrived to take them on the ride to Atlantic City.
It might have taken Laura longer than Michael to fully realize what they had, but in retrospect, she could see it there from the beginning. I don't rely on him for everything, but I feel able to get through tough situations because of his love she said. I could not imagine anyone else ever making me as happy as he does. He treats me like a princess and has put up with so much from me. I realized I couldn't imagine life without him.
Michael and Laura will be married this coming October.

Tight spots that were mostly back-in, but deep enough to accommodate big rigs. Wi-Fi and cable worked well. Right on HWY 101 so the road noise during the day was always in the background and as mentioned in previous reviews, no sewer dump at campsites. Plane Jane park with no KM amenities that you would expect with the price of membership and yearly dues. With that said, location is great for playing on the WA and OR coast. KM nightly price for minimal for cable and Internet. - 737geek

The K/M web-site calls this a "fish camp" and it really is. If you are a fisherman, great. Not so good otherwise. At the time of our visit both the TV and Internet were down due to the bankruptcy of the provider. Large sites, quiet. - wetterwashington

This is a decent little park, but it is not a resort. Because it is so close to sea level and the Columbia River, black water can be dumped only at the dump station and gray water can be drained only in the drain at the site. Use of washing machines is prohibited. The nearest laundry is across the bridge in Astoria. Sites were grassy back ins with good separation between sites. Most were plenty long enough for any rig. Restrooms were clean and well maintained. There is a pleasant clubhouse with a TV. Although right on the highway, nighttime noise was not an issue. There are a few trees, but this park effectively has no shade. Verizon reception is good, but not great - about 3 bars. Rate for ROD was $0. - Morpauwe

Park is in the trees right on the bay. You can watch the ocean going ships entering the Columbia River.
Sites are all grass, a combination of pull thrus and back ins.
Camp hosts are super - they offered to help set up our rig, even helped me back into chosen site. Park is open for another 2-3 weeks so we got in just in time.
Washrooms (2 showers) and laundry (2 washers, 2 dryers) were clean. Our only comment would be that there are no locks on any of the washroom cubicles. I don't know why this is.
We would definitely stay here again - park was lovely and quiet for a weekend stay. - DCM/JMB

This is an older park that is a gem. Very nice, large spaces among the trees. We had electrical and water and a grey water drain. There is a dump site to use. Located across the bay from Cape Disappointment. We would return. - Thirdtime

Very pleasant park with an "open" feeling despite there being many big trees. We had power, water, and possible grey water hookup - didn't see sewer hook up anywhere, though didn't look hard. We got a very happy welcome from the lovely owner/managers though we didn't arrive till 7.15 PM. We'd return without hesitation. - visitor to usa

This is another area park we probably stayed at last century but has no real recollection of being here. We had a fairly level, gravel, FHU, pull-through site. There are only 17 FHU sites. There are also 20 W&E sites, about 40 tents sites, half a dozen cabins, and some large group camping areas. The FHU sites have 60 channel cable TV and most of them are satellite friendly. Their 802.11 network was fine until early evening when everybody Started to get on it - you now have single sites that are using 3, 4, or more electronic devices at the same time. The park was fairly full with lots of groups camping together. With all the tent sites, the bath and shower facilities were inadequate. The laundry room was OK and cheap. There is no pool but there is a nice playground area. I saw no recycling. There is nothing within walking distance of the park. This park is fine for a one night stay while traveling through the area. - Jerry S

The phase 2 section is heavily wooded and very much like a state park. The sites appear to be reasonably level and spaced out. Section 1 is just a grass field without picnic tables or fire pits. The cable TV only has one channel that comes in clear enough to be able to watch. We are not happy about their lack of honesty in telling us about their cable problems in advance when they knew that was our main interest when we called to make reservations. This is an older park but has some charm in section 2. - Windshift

Great location but didn't get a good vibe in this park. Seemed too impersonal, big clubhouse we never went to. Sites are gravel and rather close together with minimal landscaping. OK for walking dogs. We got satellite and Wi-Fi was OK. Seemed a bit ragged around the edges. I wouldn't stay there again unless i had to. It did have very good access to Ilwaco, which was a great port for walking, dining, Saturday market and Lewis & Clark sites. - gardener

We are full time travelers and have stayed at too many parks to count. We were worried as a result of the negative reviews online, but were happily surprised. The sites have lush green grass between them which was a welcome coolness to bare feet. We had an end site by the tents so it was more spacious than most sites. The site location makes a big difference. The only trees are on the outside perimeter on 2 sides. WiFi was usually good and had a recent upgrade. The restrooms were immaculate and had a large ante-room in the shower stalls and they have spotless laundry facilities and which even included a laundry basket for use! We do not have a TV but understand they do not have cable. Office closes early (4pm). - Patron

We spent 2 days here. This is an older park that is showing signs of wear. Some spots have picnic tables, some do not. Hookups are shared with other site; only 30 amp service. Tried to take a shower but big sign said no hot water, when I asked about it the guy in the office thought I was out of line for asking about it. He said the other building has a shower; the water went out last week. Wi-Fi was not working; very low signal. For what they charge everything should work not worth the money they charge. Good for overnight but not long term. Only back-in sites, gravel but covered with moss. The grass needs to be mowed, too. Might stay overnight again just to see if things are fixed. - Terry Buholm

Was able to get a back-in site on short notice. Unable to specify a specific spot unless you pay an additional 10 dollars during online booking? Plus 10 dollars a night "resort" fee. $$$ Was given a spot in the "400" loop. Do not stay there! Site to our left, fire pit 6 feet from slide window, unable to open any windows due to smoke. Sites are too close and recently added tv cable posts at rear of site impede parking units with two slides. Gravel access road was loud and dusty with speeding cars at all times of the day. - F250Jack

This park was way too busy for our taste. We came here mainly to entertain our granddaughter. Granted there's a lot of things for the kids to do, but the park was overcrowded with unsupervised kids. Playing mini golf wasn't enjoyable because of the kids cutting through and being rowdy. The bounce tube was enjoyable for the grandkid as it was better supervised. Swimming pool areas were well kept and enjoyable for her also. Pancake breakfast was doable on a Thursday. On Friday the lines were getting pretty long, even early on, and forget Saturday morning as the lines were way too long. - hoppers4

Overall very well kept large park. Lots of pull thrus, back in, spacious sites. Two pools ( inside & outside)...which we discovered at the end of our stay. Lots of good shopping within 5 minutes ( Costco, Fred Myers, petco, etc.) easy access to downtown Astoria , a small town worth exploring. ( lots of history). we stayed Halloween night , and many folks/ children were busy with festivities..unfortunately we had no clue that there were trick or treaters out and didn't prepare for it. Beautiful fort Stevens state park across the street, well worth the drive down to ocean park beach, to witness the roar of the Pacific Ocean. Oh yes, we could faintly hear the pacific surf in our motorhome, very soothing. - Live Life

As the previous reviewers said, the camp is clean and woodsy. Our problems stem from the fact that this campground is not big rig friendly. The main roads are too narrow and the sites are not situated to allow easy access to 52 foot sites (our coach is 42'). Also, the adjacent sites had dogs that ran loose, barked incessantly, and were quieted occasionally by their owners yelling louder than the dogs were barking. If you go in early June the mosquitoes are terrible. We have tried this park twice now and we won't be back. - Vagabond

A huge park with around 600 sites. I had one of the pull-throughs in Loop M. Lots of places for walking the dog. The beach was approximately a one-mile walk, and Coffenbury Lake is also nearby and nice place to walk. Didn't spend as much time outside as I would have liked because the mosquitoes were so thick. Must have been hatch time, so be prepared if you go in May. - Photography Vagabond

Camped for three nights. Had reservations. However, upon arrival our reserved sight was occupied. Host apologized for the mistake. Informed us to select another sight since there were many available at this time of year. Could have been a problem during a busier time. Majority of camping spots are surrounded by trees. Larger rigs could have problems maneuvering into some of the sights. Getting a satellite read is impossible in many locations. However, we had an opening through the trees which allowed us for a satellite hookup. Great park with numerous walking and biking trails, lake and ocean access. Quiet. Will definitely return, if in the area again. - RLBD

Wow - this is a really spectacular location right at the confluence of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. It is a very popular place and when we arrived without reservations around 10:30AM on a Monday, we were lucky to get 1 of 2 spaces left. No walk-ins apparently. The CG is arranged in loops of 10 sites each, which is very nice and intimate instead of the long rows of sites that is usual in most state parks. The sites were nice and long, no problem backing in with our 30ft MH and room for a tow in front. There is lots of privacy in the back and not so much between sites. Bathrooms were clean and showers were coin operated. - gtogrl

Beautiful park! Saw lots of wildlife, spent time at the beach and lots of hiking. No cell service with AT&T at the campsites, but it was fun anyways. There was service at the ranger station. If you like to spend time outdoors, it's a great getaway. Rangers regularly do rounds so it is a safe environment. - The Bagner Bunch

Camping with the sound of the surf and being able to go for walks on the beach - what could be better! Treed sites that step not too close to each other. I had to go mong the grid since I had no cell service. So, plan to disconnect. I was able to run my dogs off leash on the beach - plenty of room for all of us. I definitely want to come back. - Thedogsma

Potentially an 8 or 9, very friendly, helpful staff. 1892 Lodge w/four suites in converted upstairs Ballroom area unique as are all the various trailers for rent on daily/weekly basis, all items for sale in Lodge fairly priced on honor system. Rules posted for pets on leash and pickup poorly enforced and not adequate for 'responsible' pet owners. Shrubs and trees are in dire need of pruning and thinning to assist w/new growth and protection of RV campsite areas. Mostly paved access roadways and mostly grassy areas for campsites w/nice central fireplace area for nighttime fire and central kitchen for both RVers use and guests staying in unique vintage trailers. A must-see if passing through the area. Electrical service in RV area in dire need of updating as power surges and fluctuates with outages experienced. We had to pick up likely 3 dozen cigarette butts plus discarded peanut hulls in/around our campsite immediately upon check-in; some TLC would yield huge attractiveness; within walking distance of beaches and fine dining next door; excellent meals @ The Depot. - westieRVer

Stayed here over Labor Day, it was crowded but a pleasant crowded, not crammed in crowded. Owner and staff are friendly, out and about working everyday. Wi-Fi was slow in early evening but strong in am. Beach is within walking distance. An Izuzu Right hand drive mini parked next to us. The door faced our door. I couldn't figure out why door was on the left side of the unit then I realized it was right-hand drive and imported from Japan. The Canadian owners were friendly. Best spot is #42. Lots of vintage trailers to rent here, resident artists, music in the lodge. A neat place. - Jim Lee

Short drive to the beach. Quaint combination of vintage lodge, cottages, trailers, and RV park. If you love vintage trailers, you will appreciate the assortment. Interesting old resort town with lots of lovely homes and right next to Long Beach. Grass sites. Not too reliable electricity for big rig. Good we have surge protector. Very casual type of place. We spent 4 days here. Enjoyed driving 4wheel on the beach and letting dog run on beach. - Newbet

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — What's a summer in Baltimore without Artscape? Saturday marked day two of America's largest free arts festival, welcoming thousands of people—which is a huge boost for our local economy.
Marcus Washington has more.
When you've been around for over 30 years and people still want more, something is being done right.
"We were looking for something to do down here and everything costs a lot of money now, so it's great to come out here and not have to pay," said Steve Bergmann.
This is the 33rd year for what's known as America's largest free arts festival: Artscape.
"I think people are able to express themselves, be able to love each other and share their gifts and talents and people are able to receive that," said Devrin Lindasy.
This year, 350,000 people are expected to attend, bringing in $28 million—not too bad for a free art festival.
"Just hope to have a good time," said an attendee.
Art is the main focus of the festival, which comes in all forms including music, food and, of course, the people.
It's a fun time no matter what brings you out, and many hope to see it stick around for another 33 years.
If you haven't been able to attend yet, you still have time—but Sunday is the final day of the festival. It's from 11-8 on Sunday.
