Rooney, who has designs on being United's next skipper, started the match at FedEx Field in Washington but for the third time on the club's pre-season tour of the US, he was overlooked.
Fletcher instead ran out wearing the armband, having already done likewise in United's opening tour match against LA Galaxy. Tom Cleverley was named captain for United's second outing against Roma.
New manager Van Gaal is yet to settle on his permanent captain, although fellow Dutchman Robin van Persie is being touted for the honour, given the relationship the pair have developed at national level.
Fletcher gets armband
Rooney, who has twice been on the verge of leaving Old Trafford, signed a new deal last season and looked set to become skipper with the club under the stewardship of David Moyes.
But with the sacking of Moyes and the subsequent arrival of Van Gaal, the dynamic has shifted.
Rooney, who has scored four times in United's first two tour matches, said after the Roma victory that he will accept any decision Van Gaal makes.
"Of course I would like the captaincy but it is the manager's decision who he chooses," said Rooney. "I think he wants to work with the players and choose a captain from there. I don't think he was ever going to walk in and choose a player from the off. I'm sure he will look at the players now and make his decision in a couple of weeks."

Sad news.
My husband is sad, but at the same time in peace knowing his dad doesn't have more pain and he is in Heaven, rejoicing with the Lord.
I don't know if I will be able to make a post in a while, I have some projects to do, but I don't know if I will have time to make them. We live more than 3 hours away from them, so this is going to be a different week for us.
Your prayers are appreciate it.
God bless

A cyclist turns onto South O'Brien Street from East Oak Street in Seymour Friday afternoon. Local bicycle enthusiasts are trying to make the city a more bicycle friendly community and have proposed bike lanes on six streets including the segment of Oak Street from O'Brien to Jackson Park Drive.
A local resident and businessman continues to pressure city officials to add marked bike lanes on city streets to help make Seymour safer and more welcoming to bicyclists.
Matt Nicholson, a founding member of the Jackson County Bicycle Club and owner of B2 Bikes and Boards in Seymour, has asked the Board of Public Works and Safety to finish painting a short bike route on the city's south side and begin work on another area this spring.
A board member has concerns about street parking for vehicles and having bike lanes he said aren't connected and that don't lead anywhere in particular.

Does anyone know of a way to have WordPress display an error message (or any other type of feedback) for the password form on a password-protected post or page?
As it stands, marked a post/page as "private" creates the need for a visitor to enter a password to view the content.
If the visitor enters the incorrect password, nothing happens.
I'd like to make it so an error message of some kind is displayed, such as "Error: you have entered an incorrect password. Please try again."
I have search Google thoroughly and this issue has been around for 3 years with no solutions?! That's unbelievable. Please help.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Been stuck in a backup on the Pennsylvania Turnpike?
Travelers on the highway can now get a smart-phone application that warns them of accidents, adverse weather or other advisories.
The turnpike commission unveiled it this week and says smart-phone users can download and launch the hands-free "TRIP Talk" application before they travel to hear active turnpike advisories nearby.
"TRIP Talk" is designed to remain on during the drive, and activate automatically when approaching an area impacted by an advisory. The app will broadcast any travel alerts within a specified mile range set by the user.
I'd like to see something else for the rest of us.
Now I understand why it costs $4.75 to go 10 mils on the PA turnpike, we paid for an app. People take Rt 165 to Rt 14 and AVOID these crazy tolls. Same distance on Ohio Turnpike costs 50 cents.

This problem just came out of the blue it seems. I went to change a post today I had written a few months ago, and after I made the changes and clicked update it went right back to the original post... as if I had made no changes at all.
I am really baffled by this. I have tried disabling all of my plugins, and even changed the theme to the classic one, and still I could not edit any of my posts. Not matter how many times I try to change the post, or even erase it entirely, it will always revert back to the original post as soon as I click update.

Patriot Falls as Forecast Cut on Potential Customer Default
Patriot Coal Corp. dropped the most in three years after cutting a week-old forecast for sales of steelmaking coal mined in Appalachia because of a potential default by a customer.
The shares fell 18 percent to $3.94 at the close in New York, the biggest decline since March 20, 2009, and the lowest price since Dec. 1, 2008.
Appalachian metallurgical-coal sales in the second quarter through the fourth quarter that have already been priced are anticipated to be 3.9 million tons at an average of $142 a ton, St. Louis-based Patriot said in a statement after the close of trading yesterday. On May 8, it projected 4.9 million tons at $138 a ton. On the same basis, Patriot cut its 2013 forecast to 200,000 tons at $122 a ton, from 400,000 tons at $120 a ton.
"The implications for the stock are negative, as current spot prices are well below the prices at which the volumes were contracted," Lucas Pipes, an analyst at Brean Murray, Carret & Co. in New York who recommends holding the shares, said in a note.
Patriot didn't identify the "key" customer it said may default. Janine Orf, a Patriot spokeswoman, didn't immediately return voicemail and e-mail messages seeking comment.
The contract is with a trader for coal for export, most likely to Asia or possibly Europe, Meredith Bandy, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets in Denver, said in a note.
'Understandably Spooked'
"The market is understandably spooked by the cancellation," Bandy said. BMO recommends using the weakness to buy metallurgical-coal producers with higher-quality product, according to the note.
Other U.S. metallurgical-coal producers dropped. Peabody Energy Corp. slid 6.8 percent, Alpha Natural Resources Inc. fell
9.4 percent and Walter Energy Inc. declined 6.6 percent.
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Patriot's corporate family credit rating to Caa1 from B2 and cut its rating on the miner's senior unsecured debt to Caa2 from B3. The outlook is stable following the review for downgrade that began May 2, Moody's said today in a statement.
Patriot said May 8 that "fundamental global market drivers" for metallurgical coal point to "strong" demand and prices in coming years. Patriot also said at the time that it planned to bring back some metallurgical-coal capacity into production this year.|
2011 Sales
Patriot sold 31.1 million tons of coal last year, of which 24 percent went to U.S. and foreign steelmakers, according to a company filing. The rest was thermal coal, which is used to generate electricity. The company said May 8 its 2012 sales volume will be 25 million to 27 million tons.
During 2011, about 78 percent of Patriot's sales were under contracts to utilities and steelmakers that last a year or more, according to the filing.
Shares of Patriot have fallen 53 percent this year amid a decline in U.S. coal shipments to power stations as some utilities switch to natural gas, which dropped to a 10-year low last month.
Patriot said last month it will idle its Freedom mine in Kentucky, citing weaker demand for thermal coal. In February, the company idled its Big Mountain complex in West Virginia in February, which produced 1.8 million tons of thermal coal last year.

Let $(s_n)$ be a sequence of real numbers and suppose that lim sup $ s_n =+ \infty$. I want to inductively build a subsequence $(s_{n_k})$ in $(s_n)$ such that lim $s_{n_k}=+\infty$. What would be my base case and inductive hypothesis?
I don't really like using the terms base case and inductive hypothesis for recursive constructions, as distinct from proofs by induction. What corresponds to the base case of an induction is simply the choice of the first element of the subsequence. You can start anywhere, so you might as well let $k_0=0$: the subsequence will have the same first term as the original sequence.
What corresponds to the induction step is specifying how to choose a term of the subsequence when you've chosen all of the earlier terms. You need to be sure to accomplish two things with this choice. First, you need to make the subsequence diverge to $\infty$. One simple way to do that is to make sure that $s_{n_k}\ge k$ for each $k\in\Bbb N$.
The other thing that you need to worry about is making sure that $n_{k+1}>n_k$ for each $k\in\Bbb N$, so that you actually get a subsequence. Thus, given $n_k$ for some $k\in\Bbb N$, just let
$$n_{k+1}=\min\{n\in\Bbb N:n>n_k\text{ and }s_n\ge k+1\}\;.$$
Since the $\limsup s_n=\infty$, for each $k\in\Bbb N$, define $$s_{n_k}=\inf\{s_n:\ s_n\geq k\}.$$ Now it's clear this is a monotone increasing sequence, hence $\lim_{k\to\infty}s_{n_k}=\infty$.
We define the sequence $(n_k)$ of indices inductively as follows.
Let $n_1=1$. For any integer $k\gt 1$, let $n_k$ be the smallest index $i$ such that $s_i\gt k$ and $i\gt n_j$ for all $j\lt k$.
It is not hard to show from the $\limsup$ condition that there is such an $i$. That the subsequence goes to infinity follows from the fact that $s_{n_k}\gt k$ if $k\gt 1$.

LONDON, June 7 Dany Bahar, the chief executive who had ambitious plans for sportscar maker Lotus in Formula One and IndyCars, has been dismissed, Malaysian-owned Group Lotus said in a statement on Thursday.
Group Lotus said the decision was made by the board after an investigation into a complaint made against him by holding company DRB-HICOM Berhad.
Aslam Farikullah, 51, was appointed as chief operating officer with immediate effect.
Lotus employs more than 1,000 workers at its headquarters in eastern England.
DRB-HICOM group managing director Mohd Khamil Jamil, who is also chairman of Lotus, said the company's Malaysian owners remained "committed to ensure the ongoing and future business operations of the Lotus Group.
"I look forward to bringing mutual benefits to not only DRB-HICOM and Proton Holdings Berhad but also the Lotus Group and its employees as well as contribute to the growth of the British automotive industry."
Bahar previously worked in marketing for Red Bull and Ferrari and moved to Lotus after parent company Proton had agreed a deal for Malaysian aviation entrepreneur Tony Fernandes to enter Formula One as Lotus Racing.
Bahar soon made clear he also intended to use the Lotus brand in Formula One, as title sponsor to the then-Renault outfit, a move that triggered legal action and the confusion of having two Lotus teams on the starting grid.
That confusion subsequently disappeared, with Fernandes renaming his team Caterham and Renault becoming Lotus - even though the title sponsorship with Lotus Group has ended.
DRB-Hicom bought Proton, the parent company of Group Lotus, in January. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by John Mehaffey)

AbstractThe purpose of the proposed program is to design, fabricate, and demonstrate a prototype wideband antenna that is operational over selected portions of the service bands (2-2000 MHz) required by the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). In addition, the designs will address the following technical objectives: (1) minimize the voltage-standing-wave ratio (VSWR) with a target VSWR of 2.0, (2) maximize the radiation efficiency, (3) demonstrate an omni-directional radiation pattern in the azimuth plane, and (4) exhibit an elevation pattern that is equivalent to that of a quarter-wavelength monopole for line of sight waveforms. In addition to the above criteria, the antenna will be low profile for improved aerodynamics. In particular, aircraft platforms typically mount antennas a distance of one-quarter wavelength above the ground plane to provide maximum broadside gain by constructively adding the primary and reflected antenna signals. If the distance is less than one-quarter wavelength, the primary and reflected signals will partially or completely cancel each other, thus limiting the bandwidth of the antenna. This effort will investigate and demonstrate novel approaches to overcoming the bandwidth limitations associated with wideband, low-profile antennas including, but not limited to, the use of magnetically conducting ground planes.

A most heinous occurrence; I have to work this weekend so will not be joining. Have fun, everyone, and stay toasty
The case could not have been better started or the inquiry better managed. Well done, sir.
I have family in LA; might just bring a hammock (and letter) with me next visit.
I have a Dream Hammocks Dangerbird and with the integrated top cover zipped and sides staked out, it feels like I am in a 2-person tent; completely enclosed, but so much more comfortable. In the...
I have an Adjustable Hammock Stand (AKA Vario Stand) on my back porch. Nothing to drill and can be moved as you rearrange. With whoopie slings, setup takes all of 20 seconds. It's also the only stand...
Is this to be durable primary outerwear or something you'd like use for a mid layer; comfortable to sleep in? Need weatherproof fabric, hood, etc.?
I picked up a Marmot Quasar (similar to down...
welcome, neighbor; I'm in close-by Stow. Hope to meet you at the next group hang.
Lots of great info here to help with your hammock solution decision.
It's very easy for a cottage industry to become overwhelmed, especially one as successful as HG. The owners are hangers and members here and are simply great folks, but I know by delay-related...
Great recap!
I believe the mitten hooks on the UGQ primaries were designed for use with the triangle thingy; not the easiest device to hook around a suspension line.
On my 0* UGQ, I...
Congrats on snagging the new warm spot. The DB cover adds several degrees to the inside of the hammock; I can only imagine how much a full enclosure (bit more wind cover for UQ) would add.
Having the quilts to match, I think you should sell it to me. Just say'in.
Agree on the thin single-layer comfort; the WWM 1.0 is darn cozy.
Oh, the shenanigans.
Great gear haul! I recently received a 0* Zep (80" length); just crawled out of mine after another great night's sleep; think I have it fully dialed in now.
Coming from a HG 40* quilt set,...
I was thinking along the lines of a small-batch bourbon and a nice Virginia flake; we'll have to share and compare tobies and bibes.
This is turning out to read like a major food fest. I have a...
Welcome; great first experience.
I haven't yet had a chance to canoe camp with hammock but looking forward to being able to hit shore and just look for suitable trees versus a flat spot for a tent.
I believe M50 already has a DWR coating. Specs read: M50 features the highest quality Teflon® DWR for exceptional water resistance.
I have two TQs and one UQ made with M50; just love the stuff.
A few quick shots of my Underground Quilts winter set. Slept in last two nights and was incredibly warm and comfortable; temps down to 30*. Think I'll be good down to single digit temps.
That I lack imagination?
{{chuckling chuckling chuckling}}
I received a TQ/UQ set from Paul yesterday and had a question about UQ suspension. Sent an email and he called me within an hour; spent ample time discussing hanging the UQ on a Dangerbird.

Double-dog dare ya!
Thanks, Tob. Someplace a tad further South would work better for me, but good to go if this is the spot.
Interest bump for an 11/10 hang. Now have head-to-toe down goodies to try out; keeping fingers crossed that winter quilt set will be in.
I live in Stow MA so just South of you folks. Last messaging about impromptu hangs was in this thread, targeting 11/9. We should all strive to make this happen; plan in that thread.
Worst case, I...
Many pearls of wisdom in that there post.
For starters, you have to begin every post with, "My fellow Hamericans"
Other than that, help new hangers, set up group hangs, stoke the fires, make cool gear, head up porcupine control; wait, you...
Nicely done. I have a HG pillow-on-a-string. It's in place when I lay down, and I think as importantly, keeps it off the ground when I exit the hammock less than gracefully. I many times have found...
+1; 3rd Dutch order in a bit more than a week. Order for both products placed.
There yet?
Ay, caramba (pardon my Spanish); tied up this weekend. Available next weekend on. Do another, K?
I also checked that item off the must-have-gear list created after the last hang.
Just replaced my tarp hang lines with gray lash-it and Dutch Tarp Flyz. Very cool how they can slide along the...
Welcome; hope you can make it to the hang.
You might want to add a tarp to your list. Since this is a car camping scenario, it should be easier for us to bring some extra gear to round out the...
Just completed an order for an UGQ winter quilt set. An extra length 0* underquilt and a long/wide 20* tq with 2 extra ounces; both made with M50 material and resistant down. Along with my down...
Look for the Megan-John-Dave Squeaky Wheeled CoffeeKart(tm) at the next NEHHA hang.
Current reservations include Tobit at 09:00. You want fries with that?
Saw one of Raiff's kilts at the fall HEHHA hang; impeccable stitching and construction.
very nice recap and pictures; congrats on the choice gear.
I did cringe a bit at the "Switch to drinking tea instead of coffee" comment; we'll have to address that at the winter hang with good...
1 XL; 1 Med
Great pics; brings back fond memories of a great outing with a cool bunch. Spec'ng out my winter quilts for the next one.
Roger that, sir; was more referring to the type of camping we were doing at time (single 2ish mile hike-in scenario), but since we are talking car camping for this hang, thinking I might throw my...
Congrats; great product.
Could not agree more on the over cover. Got eight straight nights out in cool-to-cold weather, including the recent NE hang (35* low), and the oc really made a difference. Protection and privacy...
A recurring theme at the last hang was that (for this level/type of camping) volume was as much a consideration as weight. Problem solved?
You had me at bacon.
I'm up for a single night hang; arrive Saturday. Somewhere in Southern New Hampshire or Northern Mass would work best for me. Keep us posted!
Heck yeah! Site is an easy two hours drive; ditto on the group meal idea.
I was wondering if the 6 hours of driving was worth it for one evening in the woods; was it ever. This was my first time to Mt Greylock and remain impressed by how well this site was managed....
I'll be bringing a Dangerbird 68; however, do not plan to arrive until
Saturday mid-day. If your schedule changes and you can stay longer (and if I find room in my pack), I also have a Blackbird...
I have a WWM SL and find it very comfortable. 5'10 180 lbs. As an alternative and 'something different,' and especially since you are getting an underquilt, it certainly fits the bill.
Shot from...
I'm in for Saturday night; possibly Friday night as well if I can get cat care for the varmint.
Thanks for all the great work setting this up.
Congrats to the missus. Great color combination; we'll need pictures, of course.
Trying out my overcover without tarp tonight. Suspiciously like a rain dance (fickle New England weather) but...
Megan, hope/pray your sister is better. Also hope to meet you and hubby at fall hang; assuming my maniacal work schedule permits.

Big fan of this plugin! I found a solutions, so I'm posting here.
I was having trouble defining a widget that I only wanted to show up on certain CPT taxonomy pages. Custom post type of 'books' with a taxonomy of 'awards'. Each of the awards pages needed different widget content.
found this:
is_tax( 'flavor', 'mild')
As is fairly normal with wordpress codex it wasn't explained well but when I paid attention to the content I *got* it. think of it this way...
is_tax('taxonomy_name', 'taxonomy_term')
In my case:

Prostate Enlargement/BPH Health Center
What Increases Your Risk
Men who are older than 50 have a higher risk for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The hormone testosterone, which is produced mainly by the testicles, is needed in order for BPH to develop. Men who have their testicles removed before puberty never develop BPH. Men who have their testicles removed after puberty (but before they have symptoms of BPH) rarely develop BPH.
A family history of BPH may increase your risk for needing treatment for this condition, especially if a relative needed treatment before age 60.
A vasectomy does not increase your risk of BPH.

Leamington's stars take U13 club title
MCC Spirit of Cricket U13 National Club Championship
National Finals
August 3-6 2004, at Oakham School
The culmination of this year's MCC Spirit of Cricket U13 National Club Championship was again hosted at the stunning Oakham School in Rutland.
The open and relaxing layout of the playing fields was fundamental to the exhilarating atmosphere which pervaded this Festival.
The hundreds of smiling faces excited by the prospect of a week away with friends in such surroundings were pictures of concentration over breakfast on the first morning; youthful exuberance had been replaced by nervous tension.
For all involved the first crack of leather on willow was a tremendous release, the final stretch to glory had begun.
Day One
One fact became obvious as early as the first afternoon: class is relative. These finalists were the finest eight out of 1700 sides in the country; all of them had made it to Oakham via a demanding series of League Knockouts, County Cups and Regional Finals
But many of the regional winning sides were made to look quite ordinary on that first morning as clear favourites emerged.
Commanding performances from strong Ilford and Bath sides were overshadowed by a highly professional run chase by Leamington, who scored strongly and consistently to all sides of the wicket to reach their target 115 in just 106 balls.
In an afternoon of summer drizzle the second round matches were reduced to ten overs a side where the impressive fielding restricted sides to no more than 70 runs.
Shining through the rain in a distinctly Flintoff-esque fashion was the similarly proportioned Naveed Raza of Wolverhampton, who upon opening the innings against Cleator promptly dispatched the first three balls for six, six, and four before trudging happily off the field - he'd already reached the reduced retirement score of 15!
Setting a precedent for the week, however, were Leamington, who took 94 runs from a strong Harrow bowling attack in their 10 overs.
Highlight of the First Day: Magnificent fielding at every turn, great catches and a dozen runouts turned 100 from a losing score before the Festival into one which was clearly going to take some beating.
Day Two
Leamington's performances were the talk of the dinner tables. The Warwickshire side's lead galvanised the pack, producing some extraordinary matches.
In the morning, talented Ilford and Cleator sides were bowled out as chasing became a losing battle; the afternoon round saw Wolverhampton triumph over Bath in the most dramatic of fashions on the last ball with a single wicket remaining.
However, it was the performance of James Hocking of Cleator, in their match against Sawston, which set the competition on fire. His bowling figures of 5-14 included a superb hat-trick.
The revelry which ensued took several minutes to clear, at which point Cleator took the remaining wickets and promptly knocked off the target of 84 without loss in only 15 overs.
However, top-scoring for the day with 239, Leamington bowled Ilford out for only 75 in Round 4, with captain Tom Lewis and Alex Phillips returning figures of 4-6 and 3-6 respectively.
Leamington had to be beaten on Thursday morning, or by lunchtime they would be champions.
Highlight of Day Two: James Hocking's hat-trick for Cleator
Day Three
There was a hum of excitement about Oakham School as Cleator, the champions of the North, took about the task of keeping the competition alive and defeating Leamington.
Bath, who had looked like strong candidates for the title after an impressive first day, remained in bad form after the close defeat to Wolverhampton, suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Ilford. Scoring 142 for three, the Essex champions bowled Bath out for only 79 in just 15 overs.
Meanwhile, Hull's spirited drive to the top brought another fine performance, showing depth in batting and teamwork on their way to victory over Sawston. The champions of the North West, Wolverhampton, had clearly developed a taste for their fingernails as their fifth match saw another tense finish as a lower order surge fell just four runs short.
As is the nature of cricket, sometimes a game can be flat and devoid of excitement, ending in a draw so often that we have redefined the term (cricket is the only sport in which you can have a 'winning' or 'losing' draw). Yet sometimes things happen with a peculiar swing, such as they did on the Thursday morning.
The decisive game between Leamington and Cleator began under the watchful eyes of everybody, for the proximity of the pitches to one another had allowed all at Oakham to take in the day's main event.
The favourites were almost immediately reduced to 13 for three, losing their finer batsmen and exposing the middle order to pressure for the first time in the entire competition. Only a solid fifth-wicket partnership between Paul Best and Charles Wootton of 4l troubled the scorers, leaving Cleator with an awkward target of 89 on a lively wicket.
In reply, Cleator had stumbled to 49 for six, and all seemed to be the lost. Fast play in the surrounding games had set up a grandstand atmosphere for the final overs as players, coaches, parents and spectators crowded the pitch to cheer on the underdogs from the Lake District.
Down to the seventh wicket, and with a menacing Leamington bowling attack smelling an unlikely victory, Jamie Harrison and Adam Downes seemed to take strength from the enormous crowd cheering them on and played with a maturity beyond their years.
The 16th over brought two wickets, but the 17th over was loose and brought the chance of victory back from the dead. Jamie Harrison struck an on-drive for four for the winning runs from the first ball of the 18th over, bringing the biggest cheer of the week.
Leamington showed true mettle by picking themselves up and defeating an in-form Hull side.
Highlight of Day Three: Harrison's on drive for four over the favourites.
Day Four
With Leamington with an unassailable net run rate, many sides reversed batting orders and played substitutes previously unused, which produced some surprising outcomes.
In reply to Ilford's 101, Wolverhampton managed the unenviable feat of being bowled out for less than the extras they gave away (21 to 17). The match between Hull and Cleator saw batsmen on both sides throw a lot more than the kitchen sink at most of the bowling, although cricket was definitely a winner as the sides managed to finally end an exhilarating game in a tie.
On the top square, Bath took on Leamington and set about the task well, taking the Leamington captain with the second ball of the day.
The champions-to-be, however, showed no signs of nerves and rattled up a total of 120, which would always be beyond Bath as their bowling attack containing at least two bowlers capable of 70mph. The proud champions of the South West struggled to 100 for nine.
For their outstanding spirit throughout the tournament Cleator were awarded the Fairplay Award.

Southern Durham CB A.J. Marshall, one of the state's best defensive backs, has narrowed his choices to Wake Forest, Duke and Virginia Tech, with North Carolina fourth, said his coach, Adrian Jones.
"He'll probably make a decision toward the end of July," Jones said.
Marshall, who is a 5-foot-11½ rising senior, continues to move up recruiting lists after a junior season that included five interceptions and 15 pass breakups.
*And North Carolina, N.C. State and South Carolina have all lost out on Jakar Hamilton, a talented 6-2, 190-pound DB from Georgia Military College. Hamilton played his high school football at Strom Thurmond in Johnston, S.C.
One of the top juco players in the country, Hamilton had offers from the schools listed above among others, but has narrowed his choices to Alabama or Georgia. He said he would announce his decision July 11.

One myth about the Washington Post: It still practices serious journalism
No myth: Wind power HAS reduced Denmark's CO2 emissions a lot
The Washington Post has adopted many strategies to stave off its collapsing circulation. It has, for instance, gone tabloid, repeatedly publishing falsehood-filled op-eds by Sarah Palin, including one on climate science!
It also strains to print an unconventional "contrarian" analysis ever week in its "5 Myths" series, which is supposedly "a challenge to everything you think you know." Of course, lots of what you know is true, and that means the Post has to print lots of stuff that isn't.
In its 5 Myths about China's economic power piece two weeks ago, "Myth" 4 was "China's hunger for resources is sucking the world dry and making major contributions to global warming." You may notice something about that myth — it isn't one. China is making major contributions to global warming. One would have to categorize that as a fact. China is now actually the world's biggest emitter, which must qualify as a "major" contribution even to the Post.
And the 'debunking' asserts, "unlike the United States, China has recognized that it cannot let its fossil-fuel appetite grow forever and is working hard to improve efficiency." China, like the United States under Obama Administration, is working to improve efficiency, but right now China looks like it plans to keep building one or two coal plants a week for the foreseeable future — whereas U.S. fossil fuel consumption may well have peaked a few years ago and in any case will see little net growth from 2005 through 2020 and probably well beyond that. Indeed, but for a handful of Senators, we'd be on a path to an 80% reduction by 2050.
This Sunday, the Post published its most nonsensical piece in the series, "5 Myths about green energy." They farmed out the task to the right wing Manhattan Institute, which, surprise, surprise, has received $800,000 from the big-time polluters at Koch Industries in recent years, on top of money from ExxonMobil. It's no surprise Big Oil and polluters fund right-wing disinformation. And I suppose it's no longer a surprise that the Post reprint their misinformation as fact.
I don't have the time to debunk the entire piece. Fortunately, Matt Wasson Director of Programs for Appalachian Voices, dismantled the first one thoroughly at HuffPost, which I excerpt below:
Readers of the Washington Post were served up some jaw-dropping whoppers yesterday about why renewable energy — and wind in particular — supposedly doesn't reduce CO2 emissions, increase our national security, or create jobs in the US. The author of the op-ed is climate change denier and long time fossil fuel cheerleader Robert Bryce….
While challenging everything you think you know is generally a good idea, it's not a good idea to replace what you know with what Bryce thinks he knows because, as it turns out, he doesn't know much about renewable energy. Relying on bad science like the Nature Conservancy's "Energy Sprawl" study and thoroughly discredited white papers like "The Case of Denmark" from Bjorn Lomborg's Institute for Energy Studies, Bryce deftly turns logic and common sense on its head to convince his readers that burning more fossil fuels is really the best path to a green energy future.
… I'll just focus on Bryce's "Myth 1: Solar and wind power are the greenest of them all."
Bryce begins his argument with what has become the new favorite talking point of renewable energy detractors and climate change deniers: "solar and wind technologies require huge amounts of land to deliver relatively small amounts of energy, disrupting natural habitats."
As I have written extensively about in a previous post, the authors of the "Energy Sprawl" committed the cardinal sin of ecological modeling by comparing apples to oranges (more like watermelons to grapes). In the study, wind power was presumed to impact an area as much as 300-400 times greater than the actual footprint of the turbines on the land while the impacts of coal power, for instance, were assumed to go no farther than the footprint of mine permits, leaving aside any consideration of habitat fragmentation and wildlife disturbance that increased wind's alleged sprawl factor by 300 to 400 times. Nor did the "Energy Sprawl" study include the acreage consumed by actual coal-fired power plants, the infrastructure for processing coal and disposing of processing wastes, the rail and barge infrastructure for transporting coal to power plants, or the fills and impoundments used for disposing of coal combustion waste.
While it should strain the credulity of even the most entrenched climate change denier that a single wind turbine would impact more than 100 football fields worth of land, at least TNC's paper makes clear that only 2-5% of the area is cleared for access roads and a buffer around each turbine. Bryce makes it sound like they're referring to the actual footprint of the turbine, which is about 1/3rd of an acre for a 2MW turbine (or about 1/300th of the land impact estimate cited by Bryce). If a fair comparison were made, wind would produce 10 to 20 times as many watts per square meter as Bryce's hypothetical natural gas well.
But where Bryce really goes off the deep end is when he states:
"Nor does wind energy substantially reduce CO2 emissions. Since the wind doesn't always blow, utilities must use gas or coal-fired generators to offset wind's unreliability. The result is minimal — or no — carbon dioxide reduction."
First off, while supporters of increased reliance on fossil fuels love to conflate the issues of intermittency (which is manageable) with unreliability (which is not), countries such as Spain and Denmark have managed to integrate large amounts of wind power into their grids without power outages or other problems that an "unreliable" power source might create.
That said, it's true that there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship when it comes to displacement of coal or natural gas by wind. Because of its intermittency, wind requires a certain level of "firming" with conventional or other renewable technologies like biomass and hydro to ensure there is sufficient electricity supply when wind resources are low. That's an issue that could be intelligently discussed and built into energy plans were it not for people like Bryce that use it as an opportunity to confuse the public and mislead them into believing intermittency makes wind an unreliable source of power.
More apalling, however, is Bryce's extraordinary claim that wind power results in little or no CO2 reduction. As evidence, he cites the 2007 annual environmental report from Energinet.dk, the largest operator of Denmark's electricity grids. The online version on the Washington Post website even includes a link to that report, which should prove quite useful for Bryce, as he doesn't appear to have read it. According to the report:
"… some of Denmark's thermal generation will be displaced by the commissioning of new wind turbine capacity. Extra wind capacity will also contribute to displacing thermal generation outside Denmark."
The purported evidence from the report that Bryce uses to support is based on his tortured and selective presentation of CO2 emissions data. According to Bryce, the Energinet.dk report shows that:
"…carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation in 2007 were at about the same level as they were back in 1990, before the country began its frenzied construction of turbines."
Contrast that with what the report actually stated:
"CO2 emissions vary considerably from year to year, depending on electricity trading. Adjusting for imports and exports resulted in an overall emissions reduction of 23% in the 1990-2007 period. The primary reason is a conversion of Danish electricity and heat generation to less CO2 intensive fuels such as natural gas, coupled with increased use of renewable energy sources"
So what's the disconnect between Bryce's analysis and reality? As with many small European countries, Denmark's electric grid is integrated into larger grids of neighboring countries – in Denmark's case those are the grids in Germany, Norway and Sweden. In general, Denmark exports a lot of electricity to the German grid while importing power from Sweden and Norway, which have large (and cheap) surpluses of hydropower, particularly in wet years. What Bryce has done is compare 1990, a year when Denmark imported a huge proportion of its electricity from other Scandanavian countries, with 2007, a year it was a net exporter of electricity. The graph below from the Energinet.dk report tells the story – the red bars are the in-country emissions, while the grey line shows emissions adjusted for imports and exports of electricity:
Bryce clearly draws his analysis from a 2009 white paper entitled "The Case of Denmark" produced by the Institute for Energy Studies. That institute is run by notorious climate change denier Bjorn Lomborg and the analysis has been thoroughly debunked by numerous analysts. Essentially, the analysis in The Case of Denmark is based on the bizarre assumption that wind-generated electricity exported to Germany simply disappears from the grid, rather than viewing Denmarks's energy production in the context of a multi-nation integrated grid.
But the point where Bryce's analysis goes from misleading (or ignorant) to downright dishonest is when he attributes Denmark's success in controlling CO2 emissions to a low population growth rate, while touting the United States' success in decreasing per capita emissions by 2.5% between 1980 and 2006. Keeping with the 1990-2008 time frame from the most recent Energinet.dk report, the US has done somewhat better than that, decreasing per-capita CO2 emissions by about 4.5%. But over that same time period, the Danes have decreased their per capita CO2 emissions by 21%.
A final piece of distorted analysis provided by Bryce is when he states:
"… Through 2017, the Danes foresee no decrease in carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation."
On the surface, that is true, the Danes project no decrease in carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation over the next decade, but that is because they plan to replace inefficient old oil heaters with heat pumps and transition to far more efficient electric vehicles. The net effect will be an enormous decrease in overall CO2 emissions over that time period. The remarkable thing is that the projected 1.2% annual increases in electricity demand resulting mostly from transitioning to more efficient electric vehicles (10% by 2020) and heat pumps will be met entirely with renewable energy sources, primarily wind. In fact, increasing wind generation up to 20% of their electricity generation has been such a success that the Danes plan to expand their wind generation up to 36% of their electricity mix by 2020.
On a final note, Bryce ignored the many other environmental benefits Denmark has enjoyed from its rapid transition to renewable energy sources. For instance, sulfur dioxide emissions, which decreased in the US by about 50% between 1990 and 2008, were reduced by 94% in Denmark over the same period. Here's a graph of sulfur dioxide emissions from the Energinet.dk report:
It's particularly notable that sulfur dioxide emissions are the primary cause of acid rain which, back in the early 90s, was found to be responsible for massive reproductive failure in some species of birds nesting in Northern European forests. The benefits of these reductions for bird populations absolutely dwarfs the impacts of the small number of birds killed by wind turbines.
All of the analysis in this post is based on just one of five "myths" about renewable energy that Bryce addresses in his op-ed. His treatment of the other four is equally misleading, but hopefully this post will provide an indication of the depths to which Bryce is willing to sink to make his case for a greater reliance on fossil fuels.
The analysis of these "myths" is presumably drawn from Bryce's new book, Power Hungry: The Myths of 'Green' Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future…. If his piece in the Washington Post is indeed indicative of what's in his book, it should provide excellent fodder for a variety of debunkers seeking an honest debate about the various paths the US could take in moving to a 21st century energy policy.

The WaPo is truly pathetic. They keep doubling down on this strategy of trying to be the Fox News of print, without realizing Fox News folks don't (or can't?) read.
With Fred Hiatt running the Editorial pages and this kind of shoddy reporting, it's time to stick a fork in them. They're done.
Saw it elsewhere and could not believe original was from a 'real' news site. Bryce is bit of a shill for the oil/coal industry and editor of online energy publication that frequently publishes pieces about the global warming 'hoax' by folks like Chris Horner
Manhattan Institute is a big right wing think tank or propaganda machine – your choice
and like similar vested-interest chaff it is widely distributed in the blogosphere
It is very sad to see what has become of a once great newspaper. Robert Kaiser and Leonard Downie, former editors, wrote an excellent book on the state of "news" back in 2002. "American Journalism In Peril" was the subtitle, how ironic. I haven't noticed either speak out about the current problems at their mother ship, but I'd give a nickle to hear about it.
Other than some online articles, I don't often read the Post, but it'd be interesting to know how often rebuttals to pieces like this are submitted, and published in the same section.
On China, I hate to think what would happen if they were to "go Western" with their per-capita consumption at anywhere near present fossil fuel proportions. And even if population and energy projections for the U.S. are very reliable, we still "outsource" a good chunk of our emissions, and still have a large per-capita carbon footprint for them to point out. All the more reason for cooperation & pressure on carbon pricing and emissions reduction. Otherwise, how much are they're going to budge beyond what they view as economically advantageous in the near-term, or what's necessary to complement fossil fuel reserves?
Today on the WaPo website they ran an article about President Obama visiting a wind turbine plant and the accompanying picture was one of Malcom X.
This is a Washington, D.C. paper. Who buys this rag? Some right-wing deep pockets have fifty thousand subscriptions keeping the paper alive in the fashion that they use to get their books on the best seller lists?
People who pay Robert Bryce for writing this nonsense or himself are a threat to human society. When will people stop, killing the hand which feeds them?
This isn't about left or right or white or black, this is about the future of our planet – the world our children grow up.
Did anyone actually read the article?
"The United States consumes about 20 million barrels a day. Put another way, China, with nearly a quarter of the world's population, accounts for less than one-tenth of the world's oil consumption. The United States, with only 5 percent of world population, accounts for nearly a quarter of global oil consumption. Whose appetite is really the bigger problem?"
His point is that: Yes, while china has energy and polluting problems, we need to take the plank out of our own eye before we start trying to take the speck out of China's eye.
I performed my own take-down of Bryce's piece on my blog Energetics. Check it out: http://is.gd/bJaes
The right peddles all sorts of contrarian myths about clean energy. Another myth is that transitioning away from coal would take a long time. In fact, a new study from PFC Energy actually shows we could switch nearly 100% of our coal plants to natural gas almost overnight:
"His point is that: Yes, while china has energy and polluting problems, we need to take the plank out of our own eye before we start trying to take the speck out of China's eye."
That point, I agree with. But I read his entire post before it hit here and can only say that a broken clock is right a couple times a day. Bryce may have been one short of a full cycle.
We are number nine on the most CO2 emitting per capita list. The countries ahead of us are relatively small and largely Middle Eastern oil rich countries. Our northern neighbor, Canada, is next in line behind us.
China is way down the list. (And India lags at the bottom.)
Us got us a major plank to pluck.
Good piece, Joe.
I used to deliver the Post as a paperboy in 1960, when my dad was a senior staffer to the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon. My fingers are now curling up in shame that I ever handled that dripping yellow rag of an excuse for a newspaper.
I've noted that Tony Kornheiser on his sports talk radio show has taken to calling it the Wall Street Post. I've never heard why, but perhaps it's a comment on their journalism/business practices (Kornheiser used to be a sports columnist for the Post).
On a slightly related note, has anyone else noticed the UAH satellite derived temperature chart recently? Specifically, the 2010 temperature? If that's anywhere close to being accurate, it's worrisome.
PSU Grad – I've accessed the daily UAH chart almost daily. While it looks like 2010 is going to be a record global temp, or at least number 2 in the instrumental record, it's only a few months of one year's data. Weather phenomena have kept global temperatures depressed for the last few years – we were overdue a hot year. The crummy denialists make much ado about a few months data, but we should always remember (if they can't) that short-term data is weather, not climate. The long-term trends are worrisome enough….

Pew Report Shines Light on Failed Immigration Policy
Released on Tue, Feb 17, 2009
A new report from the Pew Hispanic Center entitled A Rising Share: Hispanics and Federal Crime analyzes the ethnic composition of those sentenced in federal courts. Beneath the startling headline, however, is a familiar story. Immigrants do represent a disproportionate share of the federal prison population because immigration law is under the purview of the federal courts.
