The Bases Are Definitely Loaded
By LAURA MANSNERUS
Published: April 5, 1998
THE Trenton Thunder's opening day is Wednesday, and the box office has a nice problem: not enough tickets. In Sussex County, the New Jersey Cardinals expect to sell more tickets for the season than there are seats. Standing-room-only has become routine.
But these won't be the only baseball tickets around this season. A state that had no professional baseball five years ago will now have half a dozen teams in the lineup.
Down in Atlantic City, Ken Shepard is trying to answer the question: How much baseball, how much romance and family fun, does one state want? A lot, says Mr. Shepard, president and general manager of the brand-new Atlantic City Surf of the brand-new Atlantic League of Professional Baseball Clubs.
As he gazes at the $14.5 million stadium rising like a field-of-dreams apparition on the plains, he promises: ''We'll do fresh-cut flowers in the women's restroom. We'll have a locksmith service so if you lock your keys in the car you can get it taken care of without leaving your seat.''
He points to a gentle slope just off left field. ''And say you've got a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old and they're going to be mayhem. You can plunk a blanket down on a grass berm just off the field. You tell me, how can the Phillies compete with that?''
This season will tell. The two traditional farm teams -- the Thunder, a Class AA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, and the Cardinals, a Class A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals -- have easily wedged themselves into the territory of the Phillies, Yankees and Mets in the last few years. Not too far away the Reading Phillies and the Wilmington Blue Rocks in Delaware have drawn nicely, too.
This year the Surf will be playing in their own stadium; two other Atlantic League teams, the Somerset Patriots and the Newark Bears, will spend the season on the road while their home ballparks are under construction. In Montclair, the New Jersey Jackals will make their debut in the Northeast League, which like the Atlantic is composed exclusively of independent teams -- those with no major-league parent club.
And when the Cardinals are out of town, a women's pro team, the New Jersey Diamonds, will be playing in their park in Augusta in Sussex County.
The dreams don't stop there. The Atlantic League plans a team in Camden, to start in a new waterfront stadium in the spring of 2000. And North Wildwood is chasing a team of its own.
Opinion is divided on whether this proliferation of teams is an obvious response to an obvious consumer demand for baseball or whether, when the last dizzy-bat race of the season is over, it will all amount to too much of a good thing.
There is the cool perspective of those who study the economics of baseball.
''I start off with considerable skepticism that New Jersey needs another baseball league,'' said Andrew Zimbalist, an economics professor at Smith College and the author of ''Baseball and Billions.'' ''People in New Jersey have a lot of options for entertaining themselves, for their leisure time, including other baseball options.''
There is the sunnier view of the local guys who are bringing on the independent teams.
''This area is so densely populated that we can draw and it's not really going to hurt or hinder Trenton,'' said Dave Gasaway, general manager of the Somerset Patriots, who will be playing all their games on the road this season. ''I have just under 500 seats committed for 1999. I had three people trying to give me their credit cards yesterday, and I'm not set up to take them.''
And around Camden, ''you've got literally millions of people within a 25-minute ring,'' said David Brandt, attorney for the investors who are planning a waterfront stadium there. ''With a clean, modern facility, we see success in places that don't have anything near the density of Camden County. And we know Trenton, Wilmington and Reading are not filling the need.''
Finally, there is the not-disinterested assessment of the New Jersey baseball establishment, which now consists of the Thunder and the Cardinals.
''I always think, the more baseball the better,'' said Joe Finley, an owner of the Thunder. ''Even though Somerset is maybe 25 miles away, we have not seen any adverse effect at all.''
But of the new independents, Mr. Finley said: ''Quite frankly, it's a different level of baseball.''
Tony Torre, general manager of the Cardinals, is a bit harsher.
''Long-term I'm very skeptical,'' he said. ''My real concern is what's going to happen to municipalities that might be left with $15 million white elephants.''
These new stadiums are what makes the Atlantic League unusual among independent leagues, which have cropped up around the country over the last five years but have struggled and teetered and only rarely managed to build permanent stadiums.
Yearning for a Team To Call Their Very Own
The leagues arose largely in response to soaring demand for small-city franchises. Minor-league teams that have a major-league affiliation drew 34.7 million fans last year, the best season since 1949. Since 1985 they have built 86 new stadiums.
And franchise prices have risen accordingly. The larger franchises are now bringing around $10 million. The Thunder, brought from Ontario five years ago, cost $3.5 million.

States Reported Billions More in Supplemental Payments in Recent Years
GAO-12-694: Published: Jul 20, 2012. Publicly Released: Aug 20, 2012.

What GAO Found
States reported $32 billion in Medicaid supplemental payments during fiscal year 2010, but the exact amount of supplemental payments is unknown because state reporting was incomplete. On expenditure reports used to obtain federal funds filed with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), states reported the following:
A total of $17.6 billion in Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. The 10 states reporting the largest total DSH payments in fiscal year 2010 accounted for more than 70 percent of the nationwide total, with 4 states New York, California, Texas, and New Jerseyaccounting for almost half (47 percent). DSH payments as a percentage of total Medicaid payments varied considerablyranging from 1 to 17 percentamong the 50 states that reported DSH payments.
A total of $14.4 billion in non-DSH supplemental payments to hospitals and other providers. Because not all states reported these payments separately, complete information is not available. Like DSH payments, non-DSH supplemental payments as a percentage of total state Medicaid spending varied considerablyalso ranging from 1 to 17 percentamong the 30 reporting states. These payments can also constitute a large portion of states expenditures for particular categories of services, such as inpatient or outpatient hospital, nursing facility, or physician and surgical services. For example, non-DSH supplemental payments for inpatient hospital services ranged from 1 to 48 percent of state expenditures for these services among reporting states.
CMS officials told GAO that they were taking steps to improve states reporting of non-DSH supplemental payments, including working with states to train staff on reporting of payments and on identifying and resolving reporting problems.
States reported non-DSH supplemental payments were more than $8 billion higher during 2010 than during 2006, the year for which GAO previously reported on the amount of these payments. More complete state reporting of payments and new and modified supplemental payments were factors in this increase. The information available to identify changes from 2006 to 2010 came from 39 states that separately reported non-DSH supplemental payments during either 2006 or 2010 or both. Most of the increase was from the 15 states that reported some payments in both years and reported higher non-DSH supplemental payments during 2010 than 2006. In addition, most of the reported increase was for inpatient hospital services. In 11 selected states, GAO found that new and modified supplemental payments contributed to some increases. For example, new and modified supplemental payments for hospital services in Colorado and Illinois are estimated to increase the states non-DSH supplemental payments by about $300 million and $1 billion per year, respectively. However, data limitations prevented GAO from quantifying the full extent to which the increase was attributable to new and modified payments. In light of the apparent increase in non-DSH supplemental payments, ongoing federal efforts to improve the completeness of reporting are important for effective oversight and to better understand the payments role in financing Medicaid services.
Why GAO Did This Study
GAO designated Medicaid a high-risk program because of concerns about its size, growth, and inadequate fiscal oversight. The program cost the federal government and states an estimated $383 billion in fiscal year 2010. In addition to regular Medicaid payments to providers, states make supplemental payments, including DSH payments, which are intended to offset the uncompensated costs of care provided to uninsured individuals and Medicaid beneficiaries. States also make other supplemental payments, which we refer to as non-DSH supplemental payments, to hospitals and other providers, for example, to help offset the costs of care provided to Medicaid beneficiaries. GAO and others have raised concerns about the transparency of states Medicaid supplemental payments. GAO was asked to provide information on supplemental payments.
GAO examined (1) how much states reported paying in supplemental Medicaid payments during fiscal year 2010 and (2) how non-DSH supplemental payments reported during 2010 compared with those reported during 2006 and reasons for differences. GAO analyzed CMSs Medicaid expenditure data for all states and information from CMS and other sources about non-DSH supplemental payments in a nongeneralizable sample of 11 states selected to capture a mix of relevant characteristics.
In its comments on a draft of GAOs report, HHS stated that HHS and CMS will continue their ongoing efforts to improve states reporting of supplemental Medicaid payments.

Ecology Letters (2012)
Males and females frequently have different fitness optima for shared traits, and as a result, genotypes that are high fitness as males are low fitness as females, and vice versa. When this occurs, biasing of offspring sex-ratio to reduce the production of the lower-fitness sex would be advantageous, so that for example, broods produced by high-fitness females should contain fewer sons. We tested for offspring sex-ratio biasing consistent with these predictions in broad-horned flour beetles. We found that in both wild-type beetles and populations subject to artificial selection for high- and low-fitness males, offspring sex ratios were biased in the predicted direction: low-fitness females produced an excess of sons, whereas high-fitness females produced an excess of daughters. Thus, these beetles are able to adaptively bias sex ratio and recoup indirect fitness benefits of mate choice.

Let's say I have applications A and B running, with windows A1, A2, B1, B2. On Windows, I can switch to B1, then A1, and see the two side by side. On Mac (Snow Leopard), when I switch to A1, it also brings A2 to the front - frequently obscuring B1.
This is pretty annoying: often I'm trying to do something like enter shell commands while reading off a web page - but all the other shell windows also come to the front, so I can't see the web page.
Is there any way to change this?

Robert D.wrote a review of Sierra Designs Vapor Hoody Softshell Jacket - Men's on December 29, 2012
Better Than Expected!
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit's Great! Comfortable. Well made. Not Waterproof, but Nothing I've ever worn has been! Waterproof = Old school rubber/plastic Raincoats. very dry, but you pay the price. (you know what I mean)
Great jacket, excellent stretch. Good rain/wind resistance.
In the real cold and wind I put a shell over it and it makes an incredible mid-layer.
I will say...Hood is Huge, borderline monstrous. Great for helmet. But, that is my one hesitation.. I wish "Sierra Design "assembled there hoods like "Patagonia" they definitely do it right, but you have to pay $200 more.
not that big a deal.
this is a steal! I bought for under $55. Saweeeet!

Dangerous! This cake only lasted 2 days and there is only two of us. I only had 90g of ground almonds so made up the rest of the weight with more flour, I only had tinned cherries so used them instead. I will be making this again no doubt, but maybe when I'm not on a diet! Lol
2 days and there is only two of us. I only had 90g of ground almonds so made up the rest of the weight with more flour, I only had tinned cherries so used them instead
Change nothing. I followed the recipe to the letter and came out perfect. Cakes that have almond meal are meant to be a bit dense so no reason to try to fluff it up. If you are short of rasberries you can try tinned cherries or any frozen red berry.
The last 4 months i changed roles in life, i am a stay home mom that bakes cakes. I have tried dozens of recipes by now. On the Christmas dinner i was running out of time and decided to do something quick and chose this recipe. And i got the doubious comment that from all the weird fancy cakes they had tried so far this one was by far the best and i should just stick to this one.
Well maybe that last chilli and agave syrup cake attempt is making my conservative audience weary. Anyway, this is a recipe to be printed out and kept in your cook book.
I would definitely recommend this. Its so easy to make. As suggested by other people I reduced the flour a little but kept everything the same. I thoroughly mixed the sugar and butter first, then the eggs, followed by the flour and the rest of the ingredients.
The mixture seemed really thick and I thought I'd done something wrong but it was absolutely fine when I baked it.
It was extremely tasty and will try and make this same cake but with blueberries instead. Really happy with the outcome :)
Made this today - very pleased with the outcome.
To start off with, I thought there may not have been enough batter, but I didn't add or change anything and the cake is moist and has a very good bake.
I used a large, firm raspberry variety (a happy accident), and whilst I was still a little concerned that this might result in a wet mess, again the result was perfect.
I did bake it at a shade over 160 C and in a fan oven.
The flavour was good. Not too sweet, but I did think immediately that next time I would add a teaspoon of almond extract either instead of or in addition to the vanilla.
Overall, I am really happy with the way the cake looked and tasted and I will definitely add it to my list of favourite bakes.
I made this for the Macmillan coffee morning at work today and it went down a storm!! I followed the recipe to the letter, although I only used 175g of raspberries as that was the only sized pack in the supermarket, but it was more than enough. The cake wasn't dry and tasted fantastic. I'll definitely be making it again
Made this yesterday and it was so quick and easy. I made a few amendments after reading other comments before I baked it. Like a lot of people I replaced the vanilla extract with almond extract, put in a little less flour, and I also put the oven on 150C(fan) instead of 160C. As well as raspberries I also added blackberries. Came out perfect, exactly like the picture and really moist! Will definitely make it again.
I made this today but changed it slightly. After reading some of the comments regarding the cake not being light in texture, i opted to add and mix each ingredient at a time; starting by creaming the butter and sugar together, followed by eggs, ground almonds and flour. I used almond extract instead of vanilla and added 1 tbsp of milk to loosen the mixture. I found this help to spread both layers of the mixture into the tin using the back of a spoon. The cake tasted amazing and was light and moist.

As a Chelsea fan, scared isn't quite the right word, but there is still probably some work to do to win the league. United have done very well to recover the lost ground, although it is really 12 points back to 7, rather than 18. In the last couple of months, Chelsea have been the third best team in the country, I think, and it has been the amazing consistency of the first twenty games which has kept us at the top. It's still hard to see us not winning the league but we need to recapture some of that form if we are to get the double.This weekend is very important for Chelsea. If we can beat Bolton, then I'm sure we'll beat Everton, and that will mean that not losing to United at Stamford Bridge will win us the league, whatever else United do. I don't believe we will lose to United at the Bridge. I think it will be a tight game as it was at Old Trafford, but we'll win it. Even if United won that one, Chelsea will still win the league with two or three wins from their other four matches.Fergie is winding up the mind games but I'm reminded of last season. He kept trying it on then too but every time he predicted Chelsea were just about to crack they kept winning and it was United who slipped up. Who thinks United will get maximum points from Tottenham, Middlesbrough and Chelsea? Not me. Overall, Chelsea management and team are experienced enough to not to get wound up at this point, and to just concentrate on each next match. I believe Chelsea will win the league comfortably. But in the extremely unlucky event that they don't, and United overhauling them, as well as Chelsea having thrown it away, even a Chelsea fan would have to say United deserved it.As for next year, I predict Chelsea first, United second again. Arsenal are much weaker than even last year and I can't see a new ground helping results in the first season. United are strong at the front, but weaker at the back and after Chelsea have splurged another couple of hundred million replacing Crespo and Makelele and Del Horno you won't be anywhere near catching us next year either.RobertPS Be pleased for us, it's been an even longer wait than your league famine was.

Tip: If you don't like the topic, don't read it, its that simple
No. It's not that simple. If you're going to be a flaming idiot on these boards, people aren't going to just let it slide so that the only replies you get are positive ones. They're going to point out how much of an idiot you are, and hopefully why (although not always) so that hopefully the board will no longer be flooded with stupid bullshiit and you will be able to become a better poster.
Imagine if Ceddie had gotten only positive responses to his retarded trade proposals. Would he have ever become the versatile ISH behemoth he has become? No, he'd be the same old idiot. You get it both ways on ISH. Like it or not.
Believe me, I speak from firsthand experience. I wasn't always the unquestionable genius I am today, unleashing vast amounds of wisdom upon my less endowed counterparts. I used to be retarded, like everyone else. But I kept at it and look what I am today: geeWiz, ISH legend.

Some Wiregrass residents had a real blast today...
This weekend, the National Peanut Festival Grounds played host to a gun show.
Gun enthusiasts were able to buy, sell, or trade firearms and knives.
Organizers say the event is a great way for people who are looking for protection or for a new gun for hunting or sport shooting.
"People love their guns and their knives and everything and this is a great place to come out and find new things and if they've got some old weapons they don't want anymore and they want to upgrade this is a great place to do that," said event promoter Ryan Wells.
The gun show at the National Peanut Festival Grounds is held four times a year.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- A group of children from Uganda brought their sweet voices to Topeka.
The African Children's Choir melted the hearts of concert goers at First Baptist Church today.
The choir works in seven African countries and was established to raise awareness of destitute and orphaned children in Africa.
The choir has educated over 52,000 children and impacted the lives of over 100,000 people through its relief and development programs during its 29 year history.

IT IS A GOOD thing Scott Hartnell is the Flyers' team representative for the NHL's players association, because his work conditions are hazardous. Hartnell could have his own episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel.
His work area is a confined space - it stretches from just in front of the opposing goaltender's crease to behind the net and includes dangerous corners.
He is asked to perform straining, repetitive motions - working with the puck in tedious situations that unfold in the blink of an eye.
And he leaves the rink most nights black and blue - abused from the barrage of slashes he takes for standing in traffic.

Once upon a time, there was a magical lodge hidden away in the mysterious forest. Only a select few knew where it was or were even allowed in.
Err... not really. The Tourist Club is a beer pub/social club on the edge of Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco. They are a private club, but they're also open to visitors during weekends. I decided to take my LA friends there for a nice walk and a few beers. Then we went to a restaurant called Ad Hoc in Napa for dinner. Highly recommended, by the way, if you ever want to know what home cooking by a world class chef tastes like.
Oh yeah, I also happened to bring my handy GPS unit for tracking every step we took. You know, just in case other people wanted to know how to get there.
Here's a map of our trip that afternoon and evening:
And as always, I created a Picasa web album plotting the pictures on a map, which can be found here:
Of course, there's the obligatory screenshot:
Maybe one of these days Google wil let people embed album maps into their websites... right now you have to pay for third-party services to do so. I also haven't had time to hack together my own code for generating photo maps. One of these days...
This photo probably sums up the Tourist Club experience:
Mmm... Belgian beer on tap and sausages while overlooking a gorgeous mountain landscape...
It's been in the shop for over 2 weeks now. Some part of the crank needs to be replaced, and since Cannondale loves to use proprietary components, we have to wait for the replacement from the dealer before anything can be done. On top of that, I can't really go surfing either, unless I want to sludge around in tanker oil from the spill last week...
Speaking of which, if anyone is in the SF bay area and would like to help clean up the oil spill, go to this link:
(picture below borrowed from the Kill The Spill site above)
On an unrelated note, I took my mountain bike for a spin last week and brought along the GPS unit and camera. I took a few pictures along the SF waterfront and across the bridge in the Marin Headlands. Once again, it was a foggy day out:
And like last time, you can click "View Map" to see everything on a map:
This is my experience as a Sony brand ambassador for the GPS-CS1KA unit. I'll have the unit and my camera at races, vacations, and other events. My photos will then be uploaded and plotted on the world map for everyone to see!

Many programs such as sshd create .pid files in /var/run/ that contain their process ID. Are these files reliable for determining whether a process is running? My guess is that these files are created manually by a process, and therefore will still remain in the file system if the program crashes.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Feb 23 '10 at 16:04
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
in simple terms, no: a process (e.g. a daemon) can crash and not have the time to clear its .pid file.
A technique to be more certain of the state of a program: use an explicit communication channel such as a socket. Write the socket port in a file and have the
You can also use the services of DBus on Linux: register a specific name and have your supervisor process (whatever you call it) check for that name.
There are numerous techniques.
One thing to remember: it is not the OS' responsibility to manage the PID files.
Jldupont is correct in stating that .pid files are not reliable for determining whether a process is running as the file may not be removed in the event of a crash.
Race conditions aside, I often use pgrep when I need to know if a process is running. I could then cross-reference the output against the .pid file(s) if I felt it necessary.
Jldupont is correct.
You can, however, send the process a 0 signal (kill -s 0 pid) to see if the process is still alive (assuming you have the authority to send such a signal -- in general, only the owner of a process may send it a signal).
It is not reliable to simply check the existence of a process with the same pid as contained in the file.
But many pidfile implementations also do locking on the pidfile, so that if the process dies, the lock goes away. Provided the locking mechanism is reliable, checking to see if the file is still locked is a relatively reliable mechanism for determining whether the original process is still running.
I agree with jschmier.
On some systems, you do not get access to pgrep. In such a case, you can do

His Name is Earl — Part I: California dreamin' is becoming a reality
Climate Progress is happy to introduce Earl Killian as a guest blogger. If his name sounds familiar, that's because he's been a regular commenter here — so yes, it can happen, commenters can become posters. You can read his full bio here. Welcome, Earl!
Joe has asked me to contribute to Climate Progress, and specifically to report on what is going on in California to address global warming. As one website puts it, "Everybody is talking about global warming. But California is actually doing something about it." Quite a few states have programs as well, but I do think it is fair to say California is a leader on this issue; it has been extremely active, and a bewildering number of programs are already in place. In this post (Part I) and a follow-up, I will summarize several of the most important, and then I plan to follow up with more detailed descriptions of individual items over time so as to give an idea of the breadth of attack upon the problem interspersed with current California news. I believe that California's actions can serve as a guide to other states and the Federal government.
Why should we listen to California? Because they have been a leader on environmental matters for decades. Consider just the remarkable results of their multi-decade energy efficiency efforts (click on this figure).
There is a bit of alphabet soup to get used to. California's efforts come in many forms, including legislation, executive orders from the Governor's office, and decisions from regulatory agencies. The primary agencies involved are the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Legislation is often referred to by the Assembly Bill (AB) or Senate Bill (SB) number, e.g. AB32 or SB1368.
Global warming politics in California are different from those nationally. For example, AB32 and SB1368 were both passed and signed into law in an election year (2006), with strong popular support. According to Ralph Cavanagh of the NRDC, California business leaders supported the bills, believing that 1) Federal action was inevitable, and 2) by getting a head start on both action and solutions, California would benefit economically. Business opposition was limited because the bills created a level playing field for technologies based only upon greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. even coal would be allowed with carbon capture). They were developed in a bipartisan interaction between the Republican Governor's office and the Democratic legislature (though the final legislative vote was nearly party-line).
Some of the most important policies that reduce California's greenhouse gas emissions date from the 1970s, when they were instituted in the wake of the October 1973 OPEC oil embargo to encourage energy efficiency. Eliminating waste in energy usage is the most cost-effective and important step in the war on global warming. In 1974 the legislature passed and Governor Reagan signed the Warren-Alquist Act, which created the California Energy Commission, and eventually led to efficiency standards for new buildings and appliances (Title 24 and Title 20). (Reagan actually vetoed the bill and then reversed himself after the embargo.) Also starting in the 1970s, electric and natural gas rates changed to an inverse tier structure: larger users pay more per unit of energy than smaller users, encouraging efficiency. The CPUC also began to decouple utility profits from revenue in 1978 (Natural Gas) and 1982 (electricity), which has allowed the utilities to use lowest-cost generation to meet new demand, which is often getting their customers to use electricity more efficiently (called negawatts). (Negawatts are often one fourth to one half the cost of new generation.) Decoupling was set aside during California's experiment in deregulation starting in 1998-2001 (AB1890), but returned in response to the disastrous results from deregulation.
The Federal government likewise responded to the energy crises of the 1970s with concerted action, but unlike California, its efforts were curtailed after Reagan became President in the 1980s and his earlier California practicality was trumped by ideology. A major decline in fossil energy prices also affected Federal decision making. Joe has previously written on the efforts of the Gingrich Congress to curtail Federal efforts.
Imagine for a moment a U.S. in which Reagan and Gingrich had not stymied parallel Federal efforts, and U.S. per capita electricity had remained flat since the 1970s! Hundreds of coal power plants would have never been built. Though that opportunity was lost, consider then that we still have the chance to reduce U.S. energy consumption down to California's level over the coming decades.
Not all of California's efforts have been successful. As Joe has explained before, plug-in vehicles are a part of the solution to global warming, whereas hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) are probably a diversion, and yet CARB has allowed the automakers to sidetrack plug-in programs in favor of HFCVs. There is still a chance however that recent legislative and executive initiatives will revive CARB's interest in plug-in vehicles.
California has in the last few years begun to attack its greenhouse gas emissions with additional programs, including a cap on emissions. I plan to cover those in Part II.

13 Responses to His Name is Earl — Part I: California dreamin' is becoming a reality
I don't know wether to be cheered or disturbed by Earl Killian's post. Mr. Killian is obviously a very smart man, but even extremely smart people cannot solve problems is they are unwilling to get to the roots. Yesterday in a comment on another post in this blog I pointed to an analysis of the prospects of California reaching its CO2 emission goals by California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore. DeVore argued that by building 8 large reactors, California could meet its 2020 CO2 emission goals. He pointed to flaws in plans to use so called "renewable" energy sources. Killian like other advocates of the California Plan are ignoring the short comings of renewables, wistfully assuming that the problems will go away if they are ignored, or that someone will come up with a technological fix by 2020.
I find something else disturbing about Mr. Killian's post. That is the assumption that energy conservation is a major fix to the energy problem. I support energy conservation, don't get me wrong. But I also support the electrification of much of the surface transportation system. An electrified transportation system will require more rather than less electricity. Where is that electricity going to come from? Mr DeVore argues, I think correctly, that renewable electrical generating sources are not going to provide it. Thus the only workable system for electrifying surface transportation involves nuclear power. Where is it going to come from? Building new nuclear power plants is illegal in California. Is Mr. Killian imagining a Hollywood solution, with everything improbably worked out in the last reel?
I am not criticizing California for taking steps to control CO2 emissions. Quite the contrary, the intent is laudable. We are in a new world, and there will have to be a great deal of thinking through before we come up with solutions that really work. No one is there yet, and certainly not California, but here is to them for trying.
Charles, you are in several places jumping to assumptions, and then attacking those assumptions instead of what I said. Please note that I am in the above post primarily trying to report on what California has done. I have expressed opinions in a couple of places, but I think those were clearly such (such as my complaint about CARB and HFCVs).
Let's look at one of your assumptions in your post. You should work the numbers instead of just saying that efficiency plus electric transport requires more energy, when it in fact requires less. If US kWh per capita fell from 11,997 to California's 6,732 (using 2003 data), then you would expect US electricity consumption to fall by the same percentage from 3721 TWh to 2088 TWh per year (2005 data), a savings of 1633 TWh. (Given these numbers, I think considering efficiency to be a major component of the solution is fair. There is no single solution–our response must be multifaceted–but given the size of the numbers above, efficiency should be a big component.)
Now electrify passenger travel. Using 260 Wh/mi for the 1.7 trillion US passenger vehicle miles traveled in 2004, and 370 Wh/mi for the 1.0 trillion "other 2-axle 4-tire vehicle" miles traveled (add 150 Wh/mi for the trivial number of motorcycle VMT), add in a factor for 8% grid losses, and you get about 900 TWh for the 2.7 trillion vehicle miles traveled. Note that 900 TWh is much less than 1633 TWh. I.e. efficiency savings are sufficient to power all passenger travel in the U.S. (I apologize for mixing 2003, 2004, and 2005 data, but that's what are available from the government, and I think the conclusion remains valid.) (Of course future population increase will increase the annual TWh and the VMT, but 1633 vs. 900 TWh is still a big gap.)
As an aside, let me point out that electric vehicles are very well matched to renewable electric generation (so I would disagree with the position you attribute to Mr. DeVore). Most vehicles are in operation 5-10% of each day, and parked 90-95% of each day. They might take 38% of the day to charge at 110V/12A or 8% of the day to charge at 240V/27A (a dryer outlet). The difference between 90-95% and 8-38% provides enormous flexibility to accept charge when it is available (e.g. when the wind blows or the sun shines). Also, EVs can actually provide power back to the grid during periods of peak load (look up V2G) and to make up for renewable energy shortfalls. Kempton and Tomic studied V2G's effect on the electric grid and concluded that it increased the potential renewable energy percentage from 10-20% without V2G to 50% with V2G. See http://www.udel.edu/V2G/KempTom-V2G-Implementation05.PDF.
But such techniques are for the distant future. In Part II I will mention that California state law (SB107) requires 20% renewable energy in California by 2011. The utilities do not seem uncomfortable with that, and have moved to comply.
One other point about renewable energy is that can be often be made into baseload electricity. The combination of wind and hydroelectric power is often cited (water power supplements wind power when the latter is insufficient to power the load). One technique less commonly known applies to concentrated solar thermal (steam turbines powered by concentrated sunlight). Such systems can add (and have added) a natural gas boiler to provide power on days where there is insufficient sunlight. Since such plants are situated in places of reliable insolation (e.g. >2800 kWh/m^2/year), such backup operation is uncommon, and both the cost and the GHG emissions for such a backup is negligible.
Hi Earl, I'm curious how you would propose we deal with the energy needs of the Cal Water Project. Is DWR no longer purchasing power generated from coal? Any thoughts on our outdated urban transportation systems and the need to modify urban planning? Improving autos is great but there still remains a problem with the energy wasted on todays urban transportation systems.
thanks for the post.
Thanks Earl,
The graph is a nice antidote to one mistaken idea. After people learn of California's low energy use they often attribute it to a mild climate (and ignore Texas waste). But US and Calif. usage and trends were nearly identical from 1960 to 1972. But they clearly diverge after new policies were applied following the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and oil embargo.
Wind and solar have the disadvantage of being intermittant, but loads can be leveled out with energy storage technology. One such system is the NaS fuel cell. They were invented by Ford, used by NASA and then ignored by American industry while the Japanese perfected better ceramics and (of course) a marketable system. The large cells store intermittant power and release it on demand. The rate at which they can be discharged is very flexible, from 250 KW in 15 seconds to 50 KW over 7 hours. (see pg 14)
They were first installed and proven in Tokyo. Some US utilities are placing them in growth areas to avoid / delay extending expensive high-voltage lines there. Pairing the fuel cells with local wind or solar generation would make the system flexible and less centralized.
Here is the correct address for the NaS battery system –
Naturally, the site is located on a California energy link. But interest is not restricted to the

This sequence was confusing: is there a posting missing (Ed?) or Earl "November 29th, 2007 at 9:59 pm" mislabeled? [Doesn't read like Earl.]
[JR — It wasn't Earl. I deleted the comment, making this thread even more confusing. My apologies. My IT folks tell me they are working on this.]
I'd second Earl's comments about the CPUC decoupling of utility profits from revenue (i.e., in favor of efficiency): a few weeks ago, I heard the CEO Peter Darbee of PG&E, and he highlighted this as something that simply had to happen in more states to enable serious improvements in efficiency.
In any case, I just finished a book I'd strongly recommend as an excellent resource relevant to this discussion:
Benjamin K. Sovacool, Marilyn A. Brown, "Energy and American Society – Thirteen Myths", 2007.
This includes a nice set of articles, including:
Energy Myth Four – The Hydrogen Economy is a Panacea – Joe Romm
Energy Myth Eight – Worldwide Power Systems are Economically and and Environmentally Optimal – Tom Casten & Robert Ayres
Energy Myth Nine – Energy Efficiency Improvements have Already Reached their Potential – Amory Lovins
This last chapter has a good discussion (p.253-262) on nuclear energy versus other options (i.e., it loses on economics, even ignoring issues like disposal and security.) [Note: no knee-jerk anti-nuclear-power here: I was working on a career in nuclear or high-energy physics for most of my undergraduate college days.] If anyone thinks building more nuclear plants is a good *economic* choice compared to negawatts + other alternatives, they really need to read this and explain why Lovins' analysis is wrong. I'm on a beach in Malaysia, so I haven't yet checked out his numbers, but on first read they seem pretty good.
John, you are correct, I did not write the entry currently attributed to me that begins "Ed,".
Jay Alt wrote "After people learn of California's low energy use they often attribute it to a mild climate". To amplify on his comments, the ten lowest per capita electricity use states in 2003 were Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, Alaska, New Hampshire, Hawaii, New York, Rhode Island, and California, I don't see much weather correlation. These best 10 averaged 7,510 kWh per person in 2003, compared to 13,644 for the other 40 (1.82 times higher). It is not just California that has low per capita emissions; it is just one of the best.
"hippie with a pistol" asked about DWR's coal purchases. I don't know the exact answer off-hand. There may be existing contracts that are still in force for a while, but my Part II will talk about several recent legislative acts such as SB1368 that answer your question about coal for future long-term contracts.
John Mashey writes: This sequence was confusing: is there a posting missing (Ed?) or Earl "November 29th, 2007 at 9:59 pm" mislabeled? [Doesn't read like Earl.]
[Joe R — It wasn't Earl. I deleted the comment, making this thread even more confusing. My apologies. My IT folks tell me they are working on this.]
Joe – I've noticed that occasionally when I open the comments, the 'name' and 'mail' slots are already filled. But not with my own information, but that of someone else who just posted. If the deleted post was written by a user who didn't notice that and asssumed it contained his own info, (as it usually does for me), that could explain the mislabeling.

Britain tortured German PoWs in WWIIBreaking News
The German SS officer was fighting to save himself from the gallows for a terrible war crime and might say anything to escape the noose. But Fritz Knöchlein was not lying in 1946 when he claimed that, in captivity in London, he had been tortured by British soldiers to force a confession out of him.
Tortured by British soldiers? In captivity? In London? The idea seems incredible.
Britain has a reputation as a nation that prides itself on its love of fair play and respect for the rule of law. We claim the moral high ground when it comes to human rights. We were among the first to sign the 1929 Geneva Convention on the humane treatment of prisoners of war.
Surely, you would think, the British avoid torture? But you would be wrong, as my research into what has gone on behind closed doors for decades shows....

I've a VPS and am hosting a few peoples websites, namely people who I will have a lot of contact with although would like to provide what I can without being there to do it.
I have written a script to add a sample database and user upon my "account" creation script, i.e.:
CREATE DATABASE <username>_main
GRANT ALL ON <username>_main.*
TO <username>@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'randomfoobar';
I am unsure about this, would they need to contact me to run the script to add another database? I was kind of wanting it so they had phpmyadmin (not much trouble for me) and then log in as their user/password, then have a clean phpmyadmin interface where they can add databases and whatnot, of course without affecting others.
Is this possible with mysql? or would I need to completely separate the mysql portion for each user so that they can create databases freely, but not affect other users?

← Programs / Arts / Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies
Program Details
Language is an essential part of what it is to be human and this program gives you the opportunity to examine how language works in real life. The field of Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies develops and applies theories to solve everyday problems involving language.
Course materials address such questions as how languages are taught and learned, how language competencies are evaluated, how writing is used to perform a variety of functions, how language is used in specific social contexts, how language can influence society and vice versa, how government policies influence language practices, and what makes a bilingual education program effective.
Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies can be studied as an Honours, General or Combined Honours degree, or as a minor. Minor programs in American Sign Language, Mandarin Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Linguistics are also available.
Certificate programs are also available in Teaching English as a Second Language (CTESL) and in American Sign Language (CASL).
What students are saying about Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies
The undergraduate Applied Linguistics program at Carleton, though it is small, is exceptional! The professors are extraordinary—they are always more than willing to provide extra assistance and answer any questions. They strive to get to know their students on an academic as well as a personal level. Going to class has never been so enjoyable!Victoria Vanderstoep second-year Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies and concurrent CTESL student

The music business these days seems to change almost minute by minute, and for a band that is serious about getting its sound out to the masses, that can often make it difficult to navigate the rambling path that leads to mainstream success.
The latest Lowcountry act to attempt to take its next big step is Crowfield, which in a relatively short time, has become one of the area's biggest buzz bands.
Fronted by former college chums Tyler Mechem and Joe Giant, this roots rock band has wowed audiences throughout the Southeast. If you attended the Darius Rucker show at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center in December, then you hopefully got to see Crowfield kick off the show with a scorching set that had the crowd on their feet by its conclusion.
Songs from Crowfield's debut CD, "Goodbye, Goodnight, So Long Midwestern," have been getting spins on local radio stations WCOO and WEZL, and next month, the band will have a chance to have their work heard by some very influential people at a special event in California. More on that later.
Those who haven't yet had a chance to catch Crowfield live will get their chance Saturday night at the Pour House on James Island.
Billed as "Crowfield with Nick Pagliari and Special Guests," the gig also promises something a bit different from previous performances, so even fans who have caught a live Crowfield show in the past might want to pencil in the date.
The band wouldn't elaborate on what the surprises are that await fans or who the special guests might be, but they promise a very special show.
After Saturday night's show, the band will start preparing for Feb. 12, when Crowfield will get the chance to perform the Sunset Sessions, an annual music industry event that will put the band in front of radio station program directors, television and film music supervisors and record company executives, all of whom are looking for the next big thing.
Past performers at the Sunset Sessions have included Jack Johnson, James Blunt, Joss Stone, Jason Mraz, Jewel, Ryan Adams, The Jayhawks, and Edwin McCain.
Crowfield lead singer Tyler Mechem credits WCOO (The Bridge at 105.5FM) Program Director Mike Allen and Assistant Program Director Joel Frank with getting the band a slot in the prestigious showcase.
"We can't thank them enough," says Mechem, "They are 100 percent responsible for anything that happens as a result of our playing there. They put in a good word for us and sent the organizers our CD."
WCOO's Frank directs the credit right back at the band, saying, "We didn't pick the band. Crowfield's music championed them to be selected to attend. Most of the slots to play Sunset Sessions are taken up by artists with major label backing and there are very few open slots. If the organizers didn't feel the music and the band was worthy, they wouldn't be participating. Crowfield's music is responsible."
So how does Mechem feel about performing in front of just about every influential ear in the entertainment business?
"It's intimidating," says Mechem, but then he quickly adds, "But I like going in like that."
Frank says that a big part of Crowfield's success so far is that they appeal to more than one type of listener.
"The great thing about Crowfield is that on a mainstream commercial radio station, I don't have to worry about the average listener that enjoys "hit music" being turned off by them," he says, adding, "Songs like 'Hayride,' 'Love is Hell on The Lonely,' and my personal favorite 'Give' can be played on mainstream radio and satisfy every listeners palate."
As for why Crowfield was selected for the Sunset Sessions, Frank says, "Mike Allen and I were talking about the rejuvenation of the Charleston Music Scene and how frustrating it is having so much good music that will never break through to the mainstream for a variety of different reasons. We didn't want to see Crowfield be one of these bands."
Only time will tell if the Sunset Sessions bring further success for Crowfield, but don't be surprised if in the near future you hear a song by the band in a film trailer or on a TV show, or see the band signed to a major label. There are more than a few fans in the Lowcountry who are keeping their fingers crossed for Crowfield.

Coolidge officer accidently shoots fellow officer
COOLIDGE — An officer with the Coolidge Police Department was trying to apprehend a fleeing suspect, when things quickly took a turn for the worse Saturday night.
Police say 34-year-old suspect Korrin Harmon was sighted speeding down Arizona Boulevard north of Gibson Avenue at 8:19 p.m. and drove away from an officer as he approached the vehicle.
Harmon then managed to maneuver his station wagon through a nearby field but eventually crashed into a chain link fence and residential gas meter.
In an effort to keep Harmon from fleeing a second time, the officer shot one round into the rear tire. Unfortunately, the shot ricocheted off the rim of tire and hit a fellow officer in the cheek.
According to a statement released by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office after the incident, the officer was treated at a local hospital and released.
Harmon was booked without further incident and charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault and endangerment.

Re: Ali, was it worth it?
he is my favourite sportsman of all-time, but its not worth it obviously.
saw him getting a crown on his head the other day, not sure what it was all about as i had the sound on the tv muted. god he looked terrible.
while i admire both him and his wife for not ever hiding away because of his condition up til now, i don't think its a positive thing to continue 'putting him on show.'
that sounds like an awful thing to say but i feel uncomfortable seeing him with that strange expression on his face. i feel embarrassed for him.
however, its not really about me and how i feel, of course.
i mean if he wants to keep going to places its up to him isn't it?
its not a positive thing as far as the image of boxing goes i suppose.
i don't know what to think, i keep changing my mind.
can he still talk at all, in a whisper?
i imagine he has to have someone do more or less everything for him nowadays, feeding, dressing, toileting[not sure if thats a word?], and bathing?
i'm sure he doesn't want anyone's sympathy, but i can't help feeling sorry for him.
