Experience through observation and practice. Standardization makes the world go round and being in a group of minds aggregating useful data from the web and sharing it with each other is key to growth.
I'm already passionate about Ruby and coding in general, so I can't imagine how excited I'll be the more I learn. I'm sure down the road I'll feel the need to speak about something.
Hello! I'm Terry and moved to Los Angeles about a month ago. I've aspired to be a Rubist for the past year and just haven't been able to get there on my own. I'm expanding outward and hoping to find like-minded folk also passionate about coding.

4-Methylthioamphetamine (4-MTA) is a designer drug developed in the 1990s by a team led by David E. Nichols at Purdue University. It acts as a non-neurotoxic highly selective serotonin releasing agent (SSRA) in animals.[1][2][3] It is distantly related to several other SSRAs, including MMAI, MDAI, and MDMAI.
4-MTA is a strong serotonin releaser similar to paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA), which can cause pronounced hyperthermia potentially resulting in organ failure and death.[4][5][6][7] The subjective effects of 4-MTA include prolonged stimulation, which, in contrast to other amphetamines, is accompanied by little sense of euphoria.[8] 4-MTA is also an MAO-A inhibitor, which may explain its tendency to easily cause adverse effects, as MAOIs are not considered safe to use in conjunction with stimulants.[9][10][11]
It was developed by the research team led by David E. Nichols,[12] but was intended to be used only as an agent for laboratory research into the serotonin transporter protein, and Nichols was reportedly sad to see 4-MTA appear as a drug of abuse on the street.[13]
4-MTA was briefly sold in smart shops in the Netherlands, though was soon banned by the Dutch government after serious side-effects started to emerge. It was also briefly sold on the black market as MDMA during the late 1990s, mainly in the USA, but proved unpopular due to its high risk of severe side effects (several deaths were reported) and relative lack of positive euphoria.
United Kingdom[edit]
4-MTA is currently[when?] a Class A drug in the United Kingdom although it has been suggested it be rescheduled as a Class B drug.[14] It is also a controlled substance in Argentina (as well as 2C-B, 2C-I and 2C-T-2).[15]
United States[edit]
4-MTA is currently[when?] unregulated at the federal level; however, it is listed as a controlled substance under Wisconsin law.[16]

Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass
In the mid-1990s, Dolly Parton and Ricky Skaggs each turned away from the contemporary country market—and each enjoyed a creative renaissance making rich, authentic bluegrass instead.
Now Ricky is burrowing ever more deeply into the past by offering ultra-faithful renditions of songs by Bill Monroe's pioneering mid-'40s group. It's a labor of love carried out with skill and warmth, but it also poses the question: Why bother when the originals are still available?

To make cheeseburgers, about 1 minute before burgers are done, top with sliced cheese; continue cooking until cheese begins to melt.
Notes: If you want absolute bacteria safety, you need to cook your burgers to 160°. This recipe will keep them moist.
Recipe Time
Nutritional Information
1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well blended. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches wide.
2. Lay burgers on an oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook burgers, turning once, until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside (cut to test), 7 to 8 minutes total. Remove from grill.
3. Lay buns, cut side down, on grill and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on bun bottoms. Add lettuce, tomato, burger, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Set bun tops in place.

It's all about defending the takedowns, if she does that then it should be calderwood in the final. I've got a feeling that namajunas will beat her though.
FFC was pretty good, Craig looked decent. The Charlotte park decision seemed a bit ridiculous to me though.
It's clever promotion because everybody is talking about her but the real question is can she fight? We'll find out very soon.
If he kept winning he would get a chance in ufc, Dana basically said that given his boring style and high salary he would pass on him for now. Askren needs the ufc alot more than they need him. I...

It's pretty shitty, the undisputed games were better. The career mode is very bare bones as is the create a fighter, I'd wait for the next one.
What's the concensous on Ray? Do you see him as a guy who will defend the title a few times and get the ufc call or is he a transitional champion?
Seemingly the Ng stoppage was premature but it doesn't look good for him whichever way you slice it, they gave him a very winnable fight.

"This fully rounded biography of America's sixteenth President is the product of Donald's half-century of study of Lincoln and his times. In preparing it, Donald has drawn more extensively than any previous writer on Lincoln's personal papers and those of his contemporaries, and he has taken full advantage of the voluminous newly discovered records of Lincoln's legal practice. He presents his findings with the same literary skill and psychological understanding exhibited in his previous biographies, which have received two Pulitzer Prizes ... Much more than a political biography, Donald's Lincoln reveals the development of the future President's character and shows how his private life helped to shape his public career. In Donald's skillful hands, Lincoln emerges as a youthful, vigorous President. One of the youngest men ever to occupy the White House, he was also the husband of an even younger wife and the father of boisterous children. We witness how Lincoln's absorption with politics disrupted his family life, and how his often tumultuous marriage affected his political career. And we see a man renowned for his storytelling and his often sidesplitting humor lapse into the periods of deep melancholy to which he was prone, not only during the dark days of the Civil War but throughout his life ... Donald's strikingly original portrait of Lincoln depicts a man who was basically passive by nature, who confessed that he did not control events but events had controlled him. Yet coupled with that fatalism was an unbounded ambition that drove him to take enormous political risks and enabled him to overcome repeated defeats. Donald shows that Lincoln was a master of ambiguity and expediency--but he also stresses that Lincoln was a great moral leader, inflexibly opposed to slavery and absolutely committed to preserving the Union."--Jacket.

San Luis Obispo Weddings Organization Expands Social Media Presence
The Central Coast Wedding Professionals have expanded their social media properties to include Facebook and Twitter to help soon-to-be brides find the best San Luis Obispo wedding venues and vendors.
San Luis Obispo, CA, For Immediate Release – Social media is nothing new, but growing numbers of locals are leveraging the power of networks like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube to find local products and services to purchase. Especially brides-to-be.
"We've always known that friends are the most influential resource for brides, as they recommend everything from wedding attire and wedding locations, to invitations, music and everything in between," said Susan Price, founder of Central Coast Wedding Professionals. "One thing the last couple of years has shown us is that social media makes it easy to bridge the gap and connect on a more personal level that allows our vendors to be part of the entire process."
CCWP is the largest wedding organization on the Central Coast, consisting on over 150 members covering the entire range of wedding needs. Many of the individual members have their own social media properties, which generally focus on their specific offerings. More than 2/3 of the members have Facebook accounts, and with the rising popularity in Pinterest, are quickly adopting the newest social media darling into their marketing campaigns.
"Pinterest is a fabulous way for our vendors to really show off their stuff in a unique way," Price said. "And because Pinterest shares the exact same demographic as that of our members, CCWP has started a Pinterest page for the organization that provides a ton of visual material for wedding planners."
For a comprehensive list of San Luis Obispo wedding venues and vendors, visit CCWP online at www.ccwp.com, on Facebook at facebook.com/

Senator Kerry explains the strategy and substance of the American Power Act: "It strengthens the Clean Air Act by expanding the authority of the EPA and making that authority permanent."
He expects Lindsey Graham will support the bill. Senate Majority Whip Durbin says immigration bill 'unlikely' this year.
UPDATE: You can find the bill, summaries, and 1-pagers here.
… our planet can't wait for the perfect bill. We need to get a really good bill now, one that reduces carbon pollution and puts us on a path to a clean energy future. And if we do this, I know we can get a tough international agreement to deal with this global problem. Those are the two things I remind myself of every day when it comes to this bill. Those are the two things I remind myself of every day when it comes to this bill.
You've got to keep your eye on the prize. Bottom-line — we're at a crossroads. On one path is clean energy, a more stable climate, and a more prosperous economy with America back in control of our own energy generating good clean energy jobs. On the other is the status quo which is unsustainable. Keep that in mind when you look at this bill and engage in the debate
Sen. John Kerry reaches out to environmentalists with a long post on Grist, "Introducing the American Power Act: On strategy and substance."
He clears up a number of environmental myths about the bill that you may have heard, so I'll excerpt the piece below. First, though, The Hill quotes Kerry saying on MSNBC this morning, "Lindsey Graham will issue a statement today. He stands by the work product of this bill. He supports this effort."
Among his many recent incoherent statements on the bill, Graham has said uncertainty about an immigration bill has made it hard for him to join Kerry and Lieberman in aggressively pushing the bill (which he apparently will nonetheless publicly support today). The Hill also reports:
As for immigration, another top Democrat, Majority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" an immigration bill will move this year.
Graham is running out of reasons not to campaign aggressively for this bill.
You can read today's statement from Graham on the bill here. He is as incoherent as ever:
"I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to improve upon these concepts and find a pathway forward on energy independence, job creation, and a cleaner environment. We should move forward in a reasoned, thoughtful manner and in a political climate which gives us the best chance at success. The problems created by the historic oil spill in the Gulf, along with the uncertainty of immigration politics, have made it extremely difficult for transformational legislation in the area of energy and climate to garner bipartisan support at this time."
Here is an extended excerpt from Kerry's post on Grist:
First, the Senate dynamic — the politics of this place. I want to be candid about this, and I do so with a record on this issue that I think earned me the spurs to say this. We've been at this a long time. Al Gore and I held the Senate's first climate-change hearings in the Commerce Committee way back in 1988. Since then, precious little progress has been made and ground has been lost internationally, all while the science has grown more compelling. I can barely even count any more the number of international summits I've attended, or press conferences we've held after losing climate change votes in the Senate where our message was: "next year, we can get this done — don't give up on the United States or the Senate." Two Congresses ago, we had 38 votes for a bill. Last Congress, we had 54 votes for cloture out of 60 needed — and we said then — me, Joe, Barbara Boxer — that this Congress we could get to 60 and pass a bill.
So what have we done? A lot of meeting and listening — between me, Joe Lieberman, and Lindsey Graham, hundreds of meetings one on one with our colleagues to find out what they needed to support a bill. And I absolutely believe we're closer than ever to getting across the finish line — but make no mistake, it remains difficult, even with President Obama in the White House, and even with the House of Representatives having passed their bill by the slimmest of margins last summer. But we're going full steam ahead because, in my judgment, this may be the last and certainly the best chance for the Senate to act, especially with the fact that I think the next Senate — given a 2012 presidential campaign added to the dynamic and a lot of new Senators is going to be less likely than this one to find a path to the 60 votes needed for passage. So we've got to get it done this year.
Hear me out on this one — you know where I've been and continue to be on all the major environmental fights since even before I became a Senator. As a Lieutenant Governor, I focused on acid rain and we laid the groundwork for the successful fight on the Clean Air Act in 1990, with the support of the first President Bush and bi-partisan support from Congress. In stark contrast to that effort to find a bi-partisan way forward, I lead the successful filibuster — against the urging of many in our Democratic caucus — to defeat the second President Bush's plan to drill in and destroy the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I point to these twin examples because I think they're evidence that I know when to dig in and fight, and I also know when and how to find the path to getting something done across the aisle.
And here's what I can tell you, a comprehensive climate bill written purely for you and me — true believers — can't pass the Senate no matter how hard or passionate I fight on it. No, it's got to be an effort that makes my colleagues — and that has to include Republicans so we can get to 60 — comfortable about the jobs we're going to create and the protection for consumers and the national security benefits — and it has to address those pieces on their terms. The good news — I think we got that balance right.
So, the straight scoop on the details — the real down in the weed details:
First and foremost, this bill creates a major — mandatory — pollution reduction program that sends the needed price signal on carbon, with carbon allowances auctioned in a heavily regulated market that doesn't allow any speculators access. Only corporations that need the pollution allowances can buy them, period. No bank can swoop in and start speculating. These corporations that buy the allowances can trade them among themselves, but again, no outside entities are allowed, with the minor exception of a few heavily regulated "liquidity providers" who are there to make sure there are always buyers and sellers at any one time. The actions of these providers, however, are tightly controlled, and their profits are extremely limited by the law. There's no Wild West of speculation possible here, just a strict market only open to those who need it.
It will also be a stable market. The American Power Act creates a hard price collar for the sale of carbon allowances. This will cut down on the volatility of the market, especially in the early days, and give investors a clear signal on future prices. We don't let this affect the environmental integrity or jeopardize the pollution reductions we're going for, though. Instead, we hold back a strategic reserve of allowances that we release if the market gets too high to bring down the cost without adding new carbon to our pollution targets.
And, look, creating this pollution reduction market is incredibly important to do. We absolutely have to send a price signal to move to a new energy economy. Every business leader I talk to confirms this — nothing else will get the job done. Without it, we won't get the certainty we need in our economy that drives the innovation and investment in the clean energy economy. And without that, we won't be able to get a real international agreement, with teeth, to confront the crisis of climate change.
Now, we can't leave American workers exposed, waiting for others to join us in the effort to price pollution forever because that would force them to compete against countries that have no greenhouse gas emissions limits. That would just shift pollution abroad rather than reduce it and in the process, it would cost us jobs. So we've included a robust, WTO-consistent border adjustment mechanism into the bill. It's pretty simple: imports from countries that aren't doing what we're doing will need to pay a fee at the border or we will give our producers the resources they would need to keep from having their production shifted overseas to avoid the cost of polluting. This will prevent the "carbon leakage" of companies moving production offshore, and it allows American manufacturers to compete on a level playing field with those overseas. And I guarantee that on a level playing field, nobody beats the American worker.
We also want Americans to share in the benefits of this legislation, so the American Power Act — inspired in part by the great work of Senators Cantwell and Collins — sends the bulk of the proceeds from the sale of the pollution allowances back to the American people directly in the form of rebates. None of it stays with or grows government. Those rebates rise over time until it all goes straight back to Americans.
That's the heart of the bill. I realize there's been a lot of discussion about some other aspects of it, so here are some of the other parts of the bill:
- Clean Air Act: this part of the bill has generated a lot of commentary and reporting recently, and some of it has just missed the mark. Here's the deal: this bill does not take the EPA out of the mix on regulating carbon. In fact, it strengthens the Clean Air Act by expanding the authority of the EPA and making that authority permanent. First, the entire pollution reduction program is under the authority of the EPA. The bill specifically requires the EPA to regulate large sources of carbon pollution, but it does not allow it to issue what in many cases would be duplicative regulation of the same sources. Essentially, what the bill says is that EPA should use the program specifically designed for making the deep reductions in carbon pollution called for in the bill. The bill preserves key Clean Air Act tools for sources not in the program, and it calls on EPA to continue setting tough emission standards to reduce global warming pollution from cars and trucks. It also continues EPA's ability to set performance standards for old, dirty power plants to make sure they clean up.
- Offshore drilling: We're in the middle of a catastrophe in the Gulf, and it's important that we fully understand the implications as we move forward. This bill starts that process by tightening current federal law and implementing two major reforms. First, any state can veto drilling less than 75 miles off its border. Second, any new rig will have to be studied for the environmental impact of any potential spill, and any state that is found to be at risk can veto that drilling.
- State laws: The long-standing efforts of states like California to implement innovative programs around vehicle emissions and other programs will not be affected. The bill does make clear that carbon is a national problem, and that the national policy on carbon needs to be the law of the land. But outside of that specific area, states are still free to pursue the policies that they wish. I've talked with Governor Patrick about this — Massachusetts has been one of the states ahead of the curve and our bill rewards them — but like acid rain, these Governors know we ultimately need a national solution.
So — one more time – would I design every piece of this legislation exactly as it is if I only had to get my vote? Of course not. But that's not the way democracy works. The Senate — and our caucus – is a very diverse coalition, from coastal states to Midwestern states to states with large coal reserves. 60 votes is a tough coalition to put together.
Then he ends with the paragraph I began this post with.
I share Kerry's views. We need to keep our eyes on the prize: There is no Plan B, and EPA isn't going to shut down anywhere near as many existing coal plants as this bill would — a point I will blog on shortly.

How about we change the old saying from "Perfect is the enemy of the good enough" to "Perfect is the enemy of success"?
Get over the hurdle of creating a climate change bill. Then we can tweak it as we go along.
It's foolish to think that we even understand what "perfect" would be. This transition away from fossil fuels is a voyage of discovery. We know not where be dragons nor where be pots of gold. We will likely need to adjust our legislative route annually.
Extraordinary- the word "nuclear" somehow doesn't appear in Kerry's/your sales pitch. Just "wow"!
[JR: Uhh, nuclear appears at length in my primary post on the bill last night. I don't understand your comment. Do you seriously believe that there are 60 votes in the Senate for a climate bill that doesn't have a nuclear energy title?
BTW, "wow" backwards is also "wow."]
An unequivocal and hefty legislative statement that C02 is a pollutant and will carry an emissions price will be a huge and important step. Kerry's remarks about what's truly feasible in our current political context are compelling, as is his case to stop waiting for a more perfect opportunity and seize the moment we have now.
I do hope this is successful.
Apologies for the off-topic post, but Joe and others here should see this. I demonstrates in spades how little respect the mainstream media has for the scientific community.
From http://blogs.physicstoday.org/politics/2010/05/an-unwelcome-climate-for-scien.html, emphasis added:
On Friday, although it was put together before Cuccinelli issued his subponea, Science published a letter by 255 members of the National Academy of Sciences, decrying "political assaults" against climate scientists and "McCarthy-like threats of criminal prosecution" and spelling out again the basic facts of what we know about the changing climate.
The letter was triggered by veiled threats from Senator James Inhofe, a well known climate change denier to criminally investigate scientists over their research, and the political response to the CRU emails.
According to Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, a research center in Oakland, California, who spoke with New York Times reporter Sindya N. Bhanoo, before they gave it to Science, the group had first submitted the letter to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Washington Post, all of whom declined to to run it.
Joe, do you think that it would be worthwhile to take a metaphorical baseball bat to the metaphorical knees of the cowardly (and worthless) editors of the WSJ, NYT, and WP in a followup post on this?
Oops — should use the preview feature.
In my previous post (which might still be in the moderation queue when this post appears), my first sentence should read,
Apologies for the off-topic post, but Joe and others here should see this. This demonstrates in spades how little respect the mainstream media has for the scientific community
I am very excited to dig into this thing. Particularly what permit trading will/won't be allowed, and what flexibility there is for cap and price ceiling/floor adjustments in the future. (and obviously allocations).
As for nuclear, I have heard Jim Hansen promote it (via increased R&D into advanced reactor designs that run on spent fuel from existing reactors), and that guy does seem to take climate change pretty seriously… So honestly, if that is what it takes to get some GOPers on board, then I am fine with it!
I agree with everything he says – except for one key point. He's still talking as if 60 votes in the Senate is set in stone. That's ceding the Republicans the right to dig in their heels forever on this and other key issues. Filibuster reform has to be on the agenda. Even if it is ultimately held in reserve, it is an important part of showing that our side's serious.
Does anyone have the slightest doubt that, if the 59 votes were on the other foot, the Republicans would use every single tool they had to pass their agenda, including both talk and action on filibuster reform?
The reality is, the filibuster is NOT in the constitution, and the current deadlock is NOT even sanctified by tradition. Moreover, the 67-vote threshold to reform the filibuster (you read right – when they went from 67 to 60 votes, the compromise was that it would still take 2/3 of those voting for reform) is positively unconstitutional – it's prior restraint, yesterday's senate tying the hands of today's senate. That latter fact means that you could reform the filibuster now, to make it go 60,57,54,51 over 10 days of debate; and that would NOT open the door to arbitrary reforms in the future, because once you had a 50-vote threshold at the beginning of a session (which is supposedly NOT allowed by current regs) then a higher threshold midsession would be constitutional.
This would allow a simple majority to overcome the filibuster on key issues like this one.
But if filibuster reform is going to happen, Senators like Kerry are going to have to start admitting the possibility.
I am glad Senator Kerry has responded directly to the Clean Air Act enforcement issues – this is a positive sign. It is at the heart of whether the climate bill will be more effective than the existing regulatory pressure being put on investment decisions at dozens of coal plants across the country – imminent MACT for toxic releases at all of the older plants in the coal fleet, plus pending EPA standards on CO2.
Sen. Kerry's explanation is still vague, and I look forward to seeing the bill's actual language and Joe's promised post on the rate at which the older coal plants will be shut down compared to existing law.
" So we've included a robust, WTO-consistent border adjustment mechanism into the bill. It's pretty simple: imports from countries that aren't doing what we're doing will need to pay a fee at the border or we will give our producers the resources they would need to keep from having their production shifted overseas to avoid the cost of polluting."
Seems very promising. Could be a few groups that will be fighting this one.
The other environmental groups I have heard from so far support this bill, but Friends of the Earth is taking its usual obstructionist stance. Apparently, they don't realize that it is essential to pass a law in order to reach an international agreement to control emissions. Here is an excerpt from their latest alert:
"Senator Kerry is defending his bill by saying that while it's not perfect, he thinks it's the best the Senate can do. We think a better strategy would be for the Obama administration to implement existing Clean Air Act protections, while senators work on building support for a stronger bill — one that doesn't shower billions on polluters."
"We need a bill that maintains all existing Clean Air Act protections, invests in clean energy, rather than providing more polluter handouts, and has the integrity to deliver rapid cuts in climate-disrupting emissions."
They don't realize that the world has to act soon to control global warming, and that implementing existing Clean Air Act provisions cannot possibly be the basis for an international agreement.
Could you explain, or point to an explanation of what Sen. Kerry means by "making EPA authority permanent". I was not aware that some of EPA's authority was temporary.
The Republicans may be backing away because the oil spill exposed the stupidity of handing huge favors to big polluters, and so it's going to be much harder for them to lard up the bill with provisions favoring their contributors. If they can't get their way, they may not be willing to let any bill pass.
From the Section by Section Summary
Section 2302. Standards of Performance: Precludes the Administrator from using existing Clean Air Act section 111 authority to issue standards for entities covered by Title VII that directly emit greenhouse gases.
Section 2303. Hazardous Air Pollutants: Provides that greenhouse gases may not be listed as hazardous air pollutants on the basis of their effect on climate change or ocean acidification.
The Science Letter
I agree with Comment 4 by "caerbannog": I think that CP should run a post addressing the dismal coverage of the letter from 255 scientists (published in the journal Science last week) by the mainstream media, including the fact that The New York Times has not covered the letter in the printed paper (at least as of Tuesday).
What's with the media, that they have such a blatant disregard for such things?
[snip] You and Senator Kerry can craft as many blog posts as you want without even once mentioning the word "nuclear," but you'll only [snip]
[JR: If you want to state blatant falsehoods, post elsewhere. Those who read this blog know you are not telling the truth. I discussed the pointless nuclear giveaway at length in my major, overnight piece on the bill.]
Can you help me understand how a $12 price on carbon will make a real difference? I have a hard time understanding how it would make a meaningful change.
My calculations would suggest that a $12 price on carbon will result in an increased cost for coal generated electricity of $0.012 / kWh and $0.0078 / kWh for natural gas generated electricity. (Based on EIA numbers of 2 lbs. CO2 / kWh for coal and 1.3 lbs. CO2 / kWh for NG)
It would result in an increased cost of gasoline of $0.12 / gallon. (based on EIA numbers of 19.56 lbs. CO2 / gallon)
The cost of my electricity has changed by $0.036 / kWh in the last year, that works out to 3x the effect of a $12 price on carbon.
According to the EIA the cost of gasoline has changed by $0.66 / gallon in the last year as well. That's almost 6x the effect of a $12 price on carbon.
It would seem that the price of carbon set in this bill will be at most a second order effect in terms of changing our production and consumption of energy.
[JR: That is the starting floor price — and it is for carbon dioxide, not carbon, as I think I have made clear many times. It rises 3% a year (yes, not fast enough). The actual price will be set by the market.]
At present John Kerry's website is timing out – it must be quite popular! Is the American Power Act mirrored anywhere?
Kate Sheppard simply says of the EPA authority over CO2: "The Environmental Protection Agency would no longer have the authority to regulate carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act." http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2010/05/long-last-climate-and-energy-bil-emerges
But in the above description, it seems that the EPA will only be allowed to regulate just enough to meet the weaker-than-needed carbon emission reduction targets, and not more. Can you clarify this?
[JR: First off, one simply should not miss Kerry's central point that we need a bill to enable a global climate deal and a rising price for CO2.
Right now, there is little reason to believe that, absent a bill, EPA would be able to substantially reduce US CO2 emissions or shut down any significant number of existing coal plants given its existing authority. Yes, I am fully aware that some people believe this. They presumably have not talked to senior administration officials, who doubt EPA has that authority and who doubt even more that EPA could successfully bring about an outcome even if — after much litigation — was able to seize such authority. And, of course, a subsequent conservative president could easily undo anything the Obama EPA could.
I would infinitely rather have a real bird in the hand, even if it isn't precisely the word I wanted, rather than a couple of birds in the bush, especially when one of those birds in the bush is almost certainly imaginary.]
How are the enviros supposed to rally support for a bill that still includes ANY offshore drilling in it? It seems so obviously tone deaf to current events that you can't take any of it seriously. Without the drilling piece, the enviros at least have a shot of rallying public support for the bill, by using the current disaster as an effective motivator. Why weigh the already leaden bill down and put enviros in this untenable position?
Which is the real bird and which is the imaginary bird?
The EPA is currently obligated (after much litigation) to regulate CO2 as a result of a finding that CO2 emissions are a threat to public health and welfare.
It appears we already have a bird in hand, just not the one you wanted.
[JR: CAA is most easily used for regulating new sources. We need to deal with existing sources, which is what this bill does.]
The official summary released today includes this section titled "Ensuring Coal's Future":
– We empower the U.S. to lead the world in the deployment of clean coal technologies through annual incentives of $2 billion per year for researching and developing effective carbon capture and sequestration methods and devices.
– We also provide significant incentives for the commercial deployment of 72 GW of carbon capture and sequestration.
It would be cheaper if these coal companys would just update their technologies. Is there actualy any need to burn coal? Give them incentives for transaction to renewable energys.
Re: the Mother Jones piece. The bill does take away some existing authorities for CO2 regulation under the Act, but many of these don't make sense to use in the first place, like National Ambient Air Quality standards or Hazardous Air Pollutant limits.
But the bill preserves EPA (and California's as far as I can tell) ability to regulate GHGs from automobiles, major stationary sources not covered by the cap, and non-road engines (construction equipment, locomotives, airplanes)

Amarillo City Manager Alan Taylor is offering a complete picture of curbside recycling in the city.
It will come next month as the city considers whether to institute a program for residents.
At one level, the idea seems like a no-brainer for a 21st-century city with a population approaching 200,000 people.
But such a program doesn't come free, as Taylor said the other day. Thus, the report he will issue in the coming weeks will include the cost of curbside recycling to residents, many of who are feeling the same economic pinch that is hurting Americans.
Of course, the concept of recycling has some well-known advocates in Amarillo. Chief among them is Dusty McGuire, who has made it her life's work to "Keep Amarillo Beautiful." But she remains dubious about whether the city should spend public money on a curbside program. She believes curbside recycling - in which the city picks up recyclable waste in front of residences and businesses - fails the economic feasibility test.
She believes the private sector is the better option.
But the city ought to examine this idea carefully and not be predisposed to dismissing it out of hand.
Curbside recycling is not a revolutionary idea. Many communities throughout Texas have adopted the program, which has become a way of life for residents.
But this is an important discussion that the city ought to have.

AURORA, Ill. — Aurora's aging emergency radio system has shut down seven times in the last three years.
Officers were unable to communicate with dispatchers for several hours in some cases while the city arranged to borrow replacement parts from other suburbs because the manufacturer no longer makes them. Though the outages have not had serious consequences, the city did not want to take any more chances.

Green Mountain Power fined more over Lowell WindThe Associated Press | February 07,2013LOWELL — Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations in its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
The utility had reached a settlement that included a $7,500 fine over the violations with the state Department of Public Service. Regulators on the Vermont Public Service Board accepted the settlement, but disagreed with the amount.
Board members said a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, the Caledonian-Record reports.
The investigation into alleged violations began during Green Mountain Power's shipments across Vermont of parts to the Lowell wind project.

If I knew for sure that I would get that same top, I would reduce the sugar by half a cup, but I will just drink a glass of cold milk instead of tampering with the recipe. I did use 1/4 cup nuts, and 1/4 cup coconut, and the 1/2 cup raisins... I will bring some to mom, nothing is too sweet for her, she will just say yum, and pop another in her mouth. I have made other buttertart bars but none with oatmeal, but again you would never know that was in there either, and again on the other recipes, I never got this layer on top that was crispy. Love it. Oh I must also say, they do not taste like Canadian butter tarts, but still a good bar. This is the same recipe as Buttertart Treats
Oh my. These are so very delicious! They're sweet (they're a buttertart, what do you expect?), but so decadent! I think next time I make them I'll try pecans instead of raisins for a change. The coconut was a nice addition, too. Made for Alphabet Soup Tag. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Right down my alley, since I'm a big fan of both coconut AND raisins (although I'd be most happy to make these another time with dried cranberries or cherries! Anyway, the recipe, as is, makes for a GREAT TASTING bar, one that I'd be happy to share with other NEXT TIME I MAKE THEM, since I ate most of these myself! (Your husband has GREAT taste!)

City Blame Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis
posted by July 1 at 14:03 PMon
Mayor Greg Nickels's administration thrives on cutesy political subterfuges orchestrated by Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis. Its how they roll.
When tomorrows big Sonics decision comes downarguably an administration-defining moment for Team NickelsU.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman may find that Ceiss penchant for political chicanery rolled the city right out of bounds.
The main argument that Sonics CEO Clay Bennetts lawyers made in their case to move the Super Sonics to Oklahoma City was this: The citys lawsuit to make Bennett keep the team in Seattle was a smaller ploy in a bigger strategy to force the Sonics to sell the team back to a local ownership group led by real estate broker and civic busybody Matt Griffin and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
According to this theory, schemers in Griffin and Ballmers corner, including former Sonic and Sonics CEO Wally Walker and former Senator Slade Gorton, believed thatfaced with the prospect of playing in money-losing KeyArena for two more seasonsBennett would sell.
The problem, as Bennetts lawyers pointed out repeatedly (with stacks of evidence like a Power Point presentation called The Poisoned Well that Gorton presented at Walkers house on October 7, 2007) was this: Walker was the citys Sonics consultant and Gorton was the citys lead counsel dealing with the Sonics's lease case. The city was the Sonics's landlord. Undermining your own tenant is a no-no, and could sully the citys case.
In closing arguments last week, Bennetts lead attorney, Brad Keller, implicated the city in the plot by focusing on Ceis:
One thing that hasnt been exercised that I would like to point out is what happened two days after that October 7th meeting. You will find it in Exhibit 601. It is not on my chart here, but it is Mr. Walkers calendar. Two days later, Mr. Walkers calendar reflects a meeting at K&L Gates and Ellis attended by himself, attorneys from the firm and Mr. Ceis. It says it right here in his calendar. So one thing you will have to decide is what is the likelihood that two days later after the finalization of the whole poison well power point presentation, after having spent two days before going through it with Mr. Ballmer, whether they werent doing the exact same thing two days later with the Citys Deputy Mayor sitting there in the office of K&L Gates with Mr. Gorton
You have Mr. Ceis two days after the October 7 meeting with Walker, with Mr. Gorton and the other people from K&L Gates, right after the poisoned well is finalized.
Later that afternoon, I (and I think the second question is from Art Thiel from the PI) zoomed in on this Ceis tidbit during the citys press conference:
Q: It seemed to me like [Sonics lawyer Brad] Keller dropped a new bit of evidence in his closing, which found Deputy Mayor Ceis at a meeting at K&L Gates, two days after the "Poisoned Well'" meeting. So what were you there for? What strategy were you talking about there?
Ceis: That is not a new piece of evidence. That was in my deposition that is part of the court record, and it was clear that on October 9 we were meeting to discuss the preparation of the presentation to the NBA of a renovated KeyArena plan. That's the whole purpose of that discussion that day.
Q: Nothing about this poisoned well plan? No discussion of this idea that, We drag em in to court and make it painful enough, we can make em sell.'?
Ceis: Again, in my deposition, which is part of the record for the court, I had no knowledge at any time up until my deposition of the existence of that Power Point.
Read Ceiss deposition yourself. Ceis says he didnt know about the Griffin group until November 2007. But when asked whether or not he knew about a potential new buyer in the fall of 07, Ceis says: There were theoretical discussions about what-ifs.
He never gets pinned down. I guess well see tomorrow what the judge thinks about Ceiss theoretical discussions.
During his closing argument, Keller asked her to think about just that:
The right side of his brain is working for the Griffin groups lawyers, the left side is working for the citys lawyers. We are supposed to think the left side of the brain isnt talking to the right, and vice versa.
You are being asked to accept that the citys attorney wasnt telling his client what he was cooking up when the two had the exact same objective, to keep the team here, and forcing the sale would have accomplished that objective for both. That is contrary to logic. That is contrary to common sense.

Making a fundamental change in your lifestyle – one that's going to stick – is not always easy.

Thanksgiving is next week. Christmas arrived in Covington on Thursday (with the lighting of the Square) but still… let's not forget about Thanksgiving! This is one of my favorite holidays.
Last week, a friend of mine ended up in the hospital. He is a healthy looking 20-something and he was suffering from atrial fibrillation. With a pulse of 192, his heart was racing and he had passed out twice earlier in the morning. His body was sending him some SERIOUS signals. The first thing his doctor said was that he needed to quit smoking.
I recently ate out with a friend of mine. After I had ordered my sandwich and side, I listened to her carefully place her order. She took great pains to not stress out the server and be labeled a difficult customer, but she had some very particular food choices. Sauces and dressings on the side, no salt added during cooking, substitute broccoli for fries, grilled with no extra butter. When it was all said and done, I was much more interested in her creative meal than my boring old sandwich combo.

There once was a town in the heart of America where health seemed to come naturally for everyone. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of organic and wholesome farms. Fresh fruit and vegetables were bountiful and affordable. Within the town itself, recreational opportunities were free and plentiful – children, adults, and senior citizens were often seen exercising with broad smiles on their faces.

I need to set up some VPSs for serving static content (many small files). I plan on using Nginx for this, and would like to set it up so that we are able to scale out relatively easily. The requirements are:
- Many files (at least hundreds of thousands).
- Small file sizes (less than 10KB).
- Files are being added constantly by an application on neighbouring servers.
- New files must be immediately available to all Nginx servers.
My current plan is:
- Have a 'master' server with an NFS share containing all of the files.
- Application producing new files interacts only with master.
- Have multiple Nginx servers mounting this NFS share.
- Load balance across Nginx instances.
One obvious problem with this is that the 'master' server is a single point of failure (any remedy for this?). Are there other potential issues which I have overlooked? Are there elements here which will not scale well in this way? Would anyone suggest an alternative approach?
Regarding memory requirements, I'm assuming I should give each Nginx server as much as possible so that hot files can be cached (by OS? Nginx?) an not have to be reqested form the NFS share constantly.
Lastly, am I crazy not to use a CDN?

Banks Cut Funding Costs Through New Year Covered Bond Surge
UBS AG, Switzerland's biggest bank, and a unit of ING Groep NV started the New Year by selling top-rated covered bonds to cut funding costs while satisfying investor demand for the safest securities.
UBS issued 1.5 billion euros ($2 billion) of five-year bonds at a yield of 61 basis points more than the benchmark swap rate, less than a third of the 187 basis-point spread on its existing senior unsecured notes due in 2017, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. ING Bank NV is issuing 1.75 billion euros of 10-year covered bonds at 110 basis points over swaps, a banker said.
"The re-ignition of the credit markets must come from the ultra-safe issuers first," said Ivan Comerma, the head of treasury and capital markets at MoraBanc in Andorra. The burst of issuance "may prompt lower-rated issuers to attempt covered bond sales," he said.
Financial institutions sold a record 367.2 billion euros of the debt last year as Europe's sovereign crisis worsened, up from 348.8 billion euros in 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A staple of European bank funding for more than 200 years, covered bonds are considered safer than unsecured debt because they're backed by mortgages or public-sector loans as well as a guarantee from the issuer.
In an otherwise quiet period after the Christmas holidays, banks including Credit Agricole SA and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. lined up to hire arrangers last week for deals to start early in 2012. Credit Agricole's issue may be priced to yield about 165 to 170 basis points more than swaps, a banker said today.
France's Caisse de Refinancement de l'Habitat SA sold 2 billion euros of covered bonds due in June 2022 today at a spread of 160 basis points, a banker involved in the deal said. National Australia Bank Ltd. mandated an issue, while Commonwealth Bank of Australia hired banks for what would be its first sale of the bonds in euros. Lloyds TSB Bank Plc of the U.K. and Norway's DNB Boligkreditt AS plan issues tomorrow.
"If there's investor appetite for anything in the bank space, it's covered bonds," said Roger Francis, an analyst at Mizuho Securities Co. Ltd. in London.
The European Central Bank also stoked sales by starting a 40 billion-euro purchase program to support the bank funding market in November.
Meanwhile, Rabobank NV, the world's highest-rated private lender, hired banks to manage a 10-year senior, unsecured bond issue in euros, according to a banker involved in the deal.

I migrated to WordPress in May of 2005 from other CMS software platforms (PHP-Nuke, PostNuke, and Xaraya) and have been extremely pleased with it so far. WordPress is light and elegant.
On my site, I have articles dating back to 1996 (as evidenced by my archive: http://www.drewvogel.com/index.php/archive/). However, the "older posts + »" link at the bottom of each page only allows users to go back to March of 2002 (see http://www.drewvogel.com/index.php/page/22/) and no further.
Ideally, users would be able to step all the way back to the beginning using the "older posts + »" link. I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me how to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance!

The Brookfield Lady Dogs softball team traveled to Trenton last night for a non-conference "Battle of the Bulldogs." The team won this game to follow up their second place finish at the Putnam County Tournament from this past weekend.
In the top of the first, Bailey Parks slapped her way on base. She would end the frame stranded. Trenton would threaten with some baserunners in the home half of the inning, but the game remained scoreless after one inning.
A single from Morgan Ewing would be the line offense for Brookfield in the top of the second. Trenton would go down in order, with pitcher Sammi Overton ringing up two strikeouts. After two innings, the game was still tied 0-0.
A double from Alesa Frey would begin a small rally in the top of the third. Alexis Lindsay would Jon her on base, reaching on an error. Both would end the frame stranded in scoring position. Trenton would send six to the plate in the bottom of the frame, but still the game remained 0-0 after three innings.
Megan Kearns singled to start the fourth inning. She was joined on base by Ewing, who reached on an error. Jaclyn Weydert reached on a Fielder's Choice to put runners on the corners. Karissa Trentham bunted to load the bases. The first two runs of the game would be driven in next by Gabrielle Corf. Trenton would go down in order to give Brookfield a 2-0 lead after four innings.
"It felt awesome out there tonight," said Kearns. "This was a good win for us, and I was happy to be able to contribute."
Kearns earned her second hit of the game, doubling with one out in the top of the fifth. With two outs, Weydert brought Kearns home with an RBI double. Trenton would again threaten in the bottom of the fifth, but would not score. After five innings, the girls in blue led 3-0.
Corf singled to start the sixth inning, and would advance to second on a bunt. A single slapped to the edge of the outfield by Parks would bring home the final run of the game for the local Lady Dogs. Trenton sent four to the plate in the home half of the frame, but did not score. After six innings, Brookfield led 4-0.
The Brookfield girls went down in order in the top of the seventh. Trenton would send six to the plate, and would score one. However, Brookfield took this game by a final score of 4-1.

So that makes it both Facebook and Evernote seeing 'suspicious activity' on their servers in the last 7-10 days.
What do you think NookGardener, will stuff like this slow down people switching to 'cloud services'?
Re: All Evernote Users: system wide password resetNookGardener Mar 2, 2013 1:48 PM (in response to 5ivedom)
Probably will make people think twice about it. And maybe make them reconsider what they upload to the cloud. (In my case, they will be very dissappointed if they get into it --- some book lists, music lists, a few to-do lists, and way, way way too many articles about plants! It's really boring.)
