St. Paul, Minnesota
Saint Paul is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the north bank of the Mississippi River, downstream of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Though Minneapolis is more nationally recognized, Saint Paul contains important institutions and the state's political activity. Regionally, the city is popular for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is headquarters for companies such as Ecolab and Lawson Software.

Essay - Torture Introduction: Torture can be Simply Explained as Mental, Emotional...
Torture can be simply explained as mental, emotional or physical torment and suffering. The thesis will primarily include logical reasons and opinions on how the man-induced torture should not be used as a tool of war, barring exceptions or urgencies, and why. This topic of torture is important considering the current inclination of nations and states of the 21st century towards strengthening their war regimes and tactics which has simultaneously s*****n a substantial increase in the discussions on what form of ***** is allowed ***** to what extent and purpose ***** it be used. The *****pic of torture has become even more significant for government candidates to include in *****ir political campaigns since the 9/11 attacks ***** the US soil and the consequent initiation of the War on Terror. In this thesis, the main emphasis will lie on the impacts of torture as a means to move forward with an intelligent war or conflict strategy. Further***** this thesis ***** ***** ***** of both sides i.e. whether torture ***** be used as a ***** tactic or not.
***** of the main observations that nobody seems to be making is that *****rture as a tool of war is limited in its range. This simply means ***** using torture to extract in*****ation is very circumstantial and highly dependent upon ***** gravity of the situation. There are many who are disillusioned by the War on Terror and clam that *****rture should in no way be a tactic *****cause of the extent ***** inhumane pers*****al intrusion ***** is ***** direct consequence.
John McCain, the 2008 presidential c*****idate for ***** US, ***** a war veteran and a survivor of inhumane torture and hence he seems to condone any and all ********** of torture that can or h***** been ***** in the past to extract useful information. The main logic behind his overlooking the circumstantial importance in his proposal of a 'no *****' law is ***** "two-way street" approach. He portrays a strong belief that allowing the American interrogators to use inhumane or personally intrusive measures ***** extract information automatically gives every single enemy ***** theirs to treat American captives in a similar manner. ***** approach and logic has been supported by a vast majority of senators and citizens as well, and in all fairness, it does make a logical argument. *****re is no need to ***** a ***** with regards situations that are r***** because if a l*****w gives the window to use torture pertaining dire circumstances, then like most other criminal laws, the law of torture can also be manipulated for personal advantages.
The UN and Council of Europe have shown various concerns since the beginning of the War on Terror ***** the means ***** methods *****d ***** numerous interrogators to ***** information claiming that the methodologies are defiant of the human and civil rights which ***** pertinent to all *****s irrespective of their nationality, race or religion.

Second Place: High School
Published: Friday, December 9, 2011 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 11:28 p.m.
The boa constrictor of Florida's economy is squeezing tighter, suffocating its chosen prey -- the budget. Florida legislators turn with avaricious eyes to the state's youths who, not yet of voting age, have no choice in their depressing fate. The Florida Legislature voted to deprive schools $1 billion of funding for the 2011-2012 school year. Rather than adding to Florida's human capital, Florida's dwindling dollars are being misused and tax breaks cut the revenue Florida needs.
What little money is left for Florida's budget is being used inappropriately instead of funding Floridians' priorities. While $1 billion is being cut from Florida public schools, $46 million is being given to the University of South Florida Polytechnic and $500,000 is funding botanical gardens in Polk County, according to The Palm Beach Post. Why is fanciful flora more important than investing in the future of Florida? Today's young minds of Florida will one day be Florida's innovators and workforce, regardless of the education they receive; instead of making an investment Florida can cash in on in the future, Florida legislators refuse to fund the young potential sitting stagnant in the state. Despite the suffering economy, legislators still want to spend money on trifles rather than look at the big picture.
Florida spending relies on taxes, which are being cut to appease the wealthy. According to The Miami Herald, a corporate income tax reduction will cost Florida's government $835 million in revenue in its first year. The Miami Herald also reports that Rick Scott wants to cut property taxes $1.4 billion this year, which will benefit those with high property values the most. Under the guise of creating new jobs, corporate income taxes are diminished, which severely affects the funds available for education. Florida legislators should stop robbing the public school system to keep Floridians with deep pockets happy. While tax cuts come as a relief to the rich, they deplete the money used to run public schools.
Missing money and handing out tax breaks to the wealthy does not benefit Florida. Funding Florida's public schools and molding the young minds which will one day run this state will. Gluttonous lawmakers wish to appease the wealthy voters and turn to the young nonvoters to carry the burden of the budget woes. The youths of public schools ask themselves, "What did we do to deserve this?"

The beautiful hoary bat is just one of the 11 species of bats found at Turnbull.
Turnbull's trumpeter swans are a big attraction for the visiting public.
Numerous species of flora abound in this rare and unique habitat.
Twenty-five waterfowl species use Turnbull as nesting or migratory stopover habitat.
Turnbull received two awards for projects that resulted in a significant reduction in energy consumption. The new office headquarters completed in 2009 received the 2010 U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy and Water Management Award for outstanding sustainable integrated design for energy and water conservation. Recent renovation of Turnbull's maintenance shop, resulting in a 32% reduction in energy consumption, earned the 2011 U.S. Department of the Interior's Environmental Achievement Award.
From prairie to subalpine forest, Turnbull, Little Pend Oreille, and Kootenai represent the unique beauty and diversity of wildlife and habitat of the Inland Northwest.
Turnbull is managed as part of the Inland Northwest NWR Complex.
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
This large, black and orange butterfly is likely one of the most iconic insects in the world. The monarch's annual life cycle and migration, its total reliance on milkweeds to complete this cycle and the spectacular aggregations of millions of monarchs at overwintering sites in Mexico and California are legendary. The monarch has been the subject of numerous books, research papers, classroom programs, and science fair projects for decades. This popular and once abundant species is now, however, in jeopardy.
In celebration of International Migratory Bird Day and National Wildlife Refuge Week, Turnbull partners with Spokane Audubon Society and Friends of Turnbull to host two major community planting events in the spring and fall.
Come join us in our efforts to restore native riparian habitat to benefit birds and other wildlife species.

A Roma family at the centre of a furore in France left Italy after being warned their children could be taken away because they were begging and not going to school, the local mayor told AFP.
"We put pressure on them," said Stefano Aguzzi, the mayor of the seaside town of Fano in central Italy where the Dibrani family lived for years.
"He was told by social workers that there was a risk that the children would be taken away if he refused to send them to school," Aguzzi said, referring to the father of the family, Resat.
"It was a veiled threat, a warning," he said, adding however that no legal proceedings were ever begun to strip Resat Dibrani of custody.
A local charity worker who helped the family, Primo Ciarlantini, said the father "was afraid that his children would be taken away".
"Resat decided to go to France when the possibility of him losing custody of his daughters was mooted," Ciarlantini said in a phone interview.
"He was concerned because one of his own nephews was taken away by police and social workers three years ago from a classroom here," he said.
The expulsion from France of 15-year-old Leonarda Dibrani, her parents and five siblings to Kosovo has sparked protests and raised questions about the government's immigration policy.
Based in Italy until 2008, the Dibrani family were provided by the town with an abandoned village school by the seashore to live in.
"The children hardly ever went to school even though he had signed them up. He sent them out begging. They lived in the streets," Aguzzi said.
"We told him that he could not continue living here without paying for anything. We gave him a set of rules for him to be able to stay."
He said Resat was told by officials: "You're not in Kosovo now, where you can do what you want".
Ciarlantini, who runs a Christian charity called The Samaritan that helps Roma families and unemployed people, said he had had "a love-hate relationship" with Resat since the early 1990s.
He said there was also a problem of intolerance towards the few Romas who live in Fano.
"The mentality here is they should all go back where they came from, even when they are born in Italy," Ciarlantini said, adding: "Town officials did not go out of their way to help them."
Ciarlantini said he had helped the father find several odd jobs in the town including one at a metal factory, but the man walked away from them.
"He was difficult. He was always arguing," he said.
"He drove around in a minibus with his family and they would go begging, knocking door to door."
'Not welcome back'
The mayor said the town originally came to the aid of Dibrani and other Roma people in the winter of 1991 when they were living in a tent camp nearby that was covered in a heavy snowfall that year.
But since then he said local residents in the town of 60,000 people had "divided" over the Roma who numbered just 35 in 1991 and are now four families.
"One half thinks we've already done enough and others want to offer more hospitality," he said.
Asked what he would do if the Dibranis were to return, Aguzzi said: "Let's just say that I would not welcome them back with open arms. We would consider them like we do all the other immigrants."
Deported after her family was denied asylum status, Leonarda's case captured public attention because she was detained during a school outing.
Leonarda's father has since admitted twisting the truth about his family's Kosovo origins to boost their chances at winning refugee status in France.
Dibrani now says he is the only one in his family to have been born in Kosovo, while his wife Xhemaili and five of their six children, including Leonarda, were born in Italy.

In the career mode, I play on beginner so I don't really need to have anything leveled up, I just go out there and spam hooks to the head until the cpu is knocked out.
For your second question, I never used the game plan mechanic seeing how I never really needed it on beginner.
One thing I should of said about the cafs I make, I make them geared towards online play, having the best fighter I can. If you just want to complete career, all this isn't really necessary.

Philippine 7-Year Bonds Fall as Investors Prepare for Debt Swap
Philippine seven-year bonds fell, halting a two-day gain, on speculation some funds were selling the notes to purchase securities eligible for this week's government debt exchange.
"Investors could be tweaking their portfolios to give room for the longer-duration bonds offered in the swap," said Bunny Bernardo-Recto, vice president for treasury at Chinatrust (Phils.) Commercial Bank in Manila. The 25-year coupon is "very attractive," she said.
The government is offering new notes due in 2020 and 2035 with minimum coupon rates of 5.875 percent and 8.125 percent, and will issue at least 30 billion pesos ($685 million) of the securities in the exchange and buyback program that ends Dec. 10, the Bureau of the Treasury said last week.
The yield on the 5.375 percent securities due in October 2017 rose five basis points to 5.07 percent as of 5:55 p.m. in Manila, according to Tradition Financial Services.
The peso closed 0.3 percent higher at 43.77 per dollar after climbing 0.8 percent in the week to Dec. 3, according to inter-dealer broker Tullett Prebon Plc.
Philippine inflation likely cooled in November, the government may report tomorrow. Consumer prices rose 2.5 percent from a year earlier, according to the median estimate of 16 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Prices climbed 2.8 percent in October, the least in 11 months.
The central bank isn't "unduly concerned" about asset price bubbles, Assistant Governor Cyd Amador said in an e-mail reply to questions today.
Overseas remittances will likely increase in 2011 as more Filipinos find employment overseas, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said today in Manila. Cash transfers rose 7.8 percent to $13.8 billion in the first nine months of the year, the central bank reported last month. October data will be released Dec. 15.

The must-read solutions book — "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis" by Al Gore.
The long-awaited sequel to An Inconvenient Truth comes out Tuesday. If you want a preview, Gore and the book are featured in an excellent Newsweek cover story, The Thinking Man's Thinking Man.
In September, Nature Reports Climate Change asked me (and several others) to suggest three books to read ahead of the Copenhagen conference. Of those, they then asked me to review Gore's new book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis:
When your last work led to an Oscar and Nobel Prize, anticipation is high on the sequel. And former US Vice President Al Gore's new book delivers. Our Choice, due out in November, is a wonderfully readable treatise on climate solutions.Whereas An Inconvenient Truth framed the crisis that climate negotiations are tackling, this followup spells out what needs to be done.
Based on 30 of Gore's 'Solutions Summits' as well as one-on-one discussions with leading experts across multiple disciplines, the book aims, in Gore's words, "to gather in one place all of the most effective solutions that are available now". Gore naturally focuses on energy, the source of most anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and discusses many underappreciated strategies such as concentrated solar thermal power and cogeneration. He also devotes a full chapter to soil, a major carbon sink that is gradually degrading. Farming strategies for restoring soil carbon are described, including biochar, a porous charcoal that can potentially enhance the soil sink while providing a source of low-carbon power. And like its PowerPoint-based predecessor, Our Choice is replete with lush photos and simple but powerful charts. This [is] a must-read book for those who want a primer on all the key solutions countries will be considering at Copenhagen.
I was at one of the Solutions Summit, as long-time readers know (see "My Al Gore story"). I was interviewed by Newsweek about that Summit for their cover story:
Gore assigned each speaker at the summits a half dozen or so questions: Is nuclear power a viable solution? How can new photovoltaic technologies enter the market? He moderated every discussion, and no one remembers him ever glancing at his iPhone during even the most eye-glazing PowerPoint slides ("differentiation of value chain strategies"). Every panel at the New York meetings ran late, recalls Joseph Romm, who oversaw the Department of Energy's renewables program from 1995 to 1998, as Gore asked question after question. "It was a fire hydrant of information," says Romm, and it taught even experts things they didn't know "about the latest technologies and strategies for clean energy." Gore also hosted a reception afterward, where he betrayed no doubt that everyone would find everything as fascinating as he did. "Have Tim tell you all about soil carbon!" he said to one scientist. "Gore bothers to come talk to us," says climatologist Gavin Schmidt of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. "Most other politicians are too busy: 'Just give us the talking points.' He's the only politician who's interested in the nuts and bolts of the science""and the only one who knows what a hydroxyl radical is."
[Note: I typically say I helped oversee the DOE's energy efficiency and renewables program from 1995 to 1998, as principal deputy assistant secretary and then acting assistant secretary. I was in charge of technology and market analysis for the office during much of that time.]
Like Gore, I learned a lot from the summits. Here is what I wrote in January 2008:
For the last three days I attended a small climate solutions summit hosted by the former Vice President and current Nobel Laureate. It was off-the-record, so I can't report on presentations directly, but they have made me a lot smarter about the latest technologies and strategies for clean energy, which will inform my blogging this year on climate solutions. I will say now as an aside that I have become much more bullish on the potential for large-scale solar photovoltaics as a result of attending these meetings. The VP asked me to speak for seven minutes on hydrogen at dinner Wednesday. Before dinner, I gave him a copy of the brand-new paperback edition of "" warning, shameless product placement "" Hell and High Water. He looked it over for a few minutes and said, deadpan,
I have only one problem with this book "" this blurb on the back here that says, "If you buy only one book about global warming, make it Hell and High Water." I just can't agree with that.
When he introduced me that night, he repeated the line to great laughter.
BTW, in case it wasn't obvious from his movie, the VP has a terrific sense of humor "" and not just in his delivery timing of canned jokes, but in quick, impromptu one liners, like the one above, many of them self-deprecating (one of the speakers from a web-based company thanked him for his work accelerating the Internet, and he said something like, "You heard I had something to do with the internet?").
And in case this wasn't obvious from his movie, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things related to climate, energy, science, and technology.
I didn't realize until I read the Newsweek piece that the VP had a similar reaction to the PV panel:
By all accounts, Gore was open to changing positions he brought to the summits. He originally thought that concentrated solar thermal power, in which the sun heats liquids that then power an electric generator, is superior to photovoltaics, in which sunlight produces electricity directly (PVs are the solar panels sprouting on rooftops these days). But "the PV industry surprised people over the last three years with the speed at which costs dropped," says Cornelius, who is now at Hudson Clean Energy, a private-equity firm. Gore came around. "We are at or near a threshold beyond which photovoltaics will actually have a cost advantage" over concentrated solar as well as fossil fuels, Gore writes. He likes the fact that they can be deployed in small installations""those rooftops""whereas solar thermal projects are immense; he's impressed that the price of photovoltaics is dropping while their efficiency is rising, thanks to new materials and manufacturing techniques. "Photovoltaics are a prime example of where the developmental pathway had a big impact on my conclusions," Gore said at his home last month. "The rate of cost reductions and increases in efficiency for PVs is very impressive. PVs probably overtakes concentrated solar thermal within the next half year."
I'm not certain one can directly compare PV and solar thermal. And I still think solar thermal will deliver more kilowatt-hours this century than any other form of low carbon electricity — see Concentrated solar thermal power Solar Baseload "" a core climate solution — particularly because it is so much cheaper and efficient to store thermal energy than electricity, and there are no obvious production bottlenecks for CSP. But this summit did convince me to include a full wedge of PV in "How the world can (and will) stabilize at 350 to 450 ppm: The full global warming solution," along with 3 wedges of CSP.
The Newsweek article is by Sharon Begley, a journalist who definitely gets global warming — see Newsweek's Science Editor explains why climate change is "even worse than we feared" and how "a consensus has developed during IPY that the Greenland ice sheet will disappear."
And for those who want to learn about soils and biochar, the book has a good chapter:
Gore loves plants and soils as only a former farm boy can (well, a summertime farm boy: as a kid he spent the school year in Washington, where his father was a senator). He regales you with numbers: more CO2 is emitted from burning and destroying forests""20 to 23 percent of the annual total""than from all the world's cars and trucks; only by the 1980s did CO2 from fossil fuels overtake that from deforestation, which accounts for 40 percent of the CO2 increase since the 1800s.
The potential for soils to absorb more of the CO2 that our utilities, factories, and vehicles spew poses a dilemma for Gore, one of two where his scientific and political instincts collide. With better management, soils could sequester much more carbon than they do now. The question is how much more. Soils scientist Rattan Lal of Ohio State University was surprised to get a call last summer ("Vice President Gore would like to talk to you") that began, "I have 15 or 20 questions about soils and climate for you." Lal calculates that if more farmers adopted mulching, no-till farming, and the use of cover crops and manure, 3,700 million acres worldwide could sequester 1 gigaton per year of CO2, roughly 12 percent of annual global emissions. Other experts are even more sanguine. "If we feed the biology and manage grasslands appropriately, we could sequester as much carbon as we emit," says Timothy LaSalle, CEO of the Rodale Institute, who presented at two summits. The political clash is this: if you tell people soils can be managed to suck up lots of our carbon emissions, it sounds like a get-out-of-jail-free card, and could decrease what little enthusiasm there is for reducing those emissions""as one of Gore's assistants told LaSalle in asking him to dial down his estimate. (He didn't.)
To his credit, Gore sides with the science, letting the political chips fall where they may. He writes that soils could sequester an additional 15 percent of annual global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. That could cut 50 parts per million of CO2 from the atmosphere over the next 50 years. (We are now at 387, up from 280 before the industrial era, with 450 ppm or even less a dangerous level.) To encourage changes in agriculture that would foster carbon sequestration, Gore advocates moving away from price supports and toward paying farmers for "how much carbon they can put into and keep in their soil," he says. Paying farmers to sequester carbon might jump-start the use of biochar, which Gore calls "one of the most exciting new strategies for restoring carbon to depleted soils, and sequestering significant amounts of CO2." Biochar, which he learned about during a 1989 trip to the Amazon, is basically porous charcoal. Made by burning switch grass, corn husks, and other waste, it can absorb CO2 like a charcoal filter in a cigarette absorbs gases. Gore estimates that biochar could sequester 40 percent of annual CO2 emissions.
Begley notes one especially unexpected chapter in the book:
But because of one sentence, and one chapter, it does surprise. The chapter is an astute analysis of the psychological barriers that keep most Americans from taking the threat of climate change seriously, his acknowledgment that emotion, not just reason, drives the decisions people make. The sentence is this: "Simply laying out the facts won't work."
… Gore is a canny-enough politician to know that change of this magnitude takes time, and that politics tends to trump science. A new poll by the Pew Research Center found sharp declines in the numbers of Americans who believe there is solid evidence that the world is warming (57 percent, compared with 71 percent in April 2008), and in how many believe it is because of human activity (36 percent vs. 47 percent). Gore blames this on the boatloads of money the coal and oil industries have spent to muddy the science and confuse the public…. His favorite quote in Our Choice is from the philosopher Theodor Adorno (1903-1969): "The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power "¦ has attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false."
The piece concludes with Gore's native optimism:
"You know, the political system is [like climate] also nonlinear," Gore says. "I've been waiting a long time for that tipping point," when politicians and the public recognize the threat of climate change and act to avert it. "But I think we're closer than ever. Reality does have a way of knocking on the door."
Walking back through the house, I ask Gore again whether he believes the sanguine vision of Our Choicewill come to be. He points to solar panels on his roof, and to his driveway, 300 feet beneath which seven geothermal wells gather the planet's warmth to heat and cool his house. "I have to," he says.
Our Choice is really the anti-Superfreakonomics. I'm sure it will be widely attacked by the deniers and delayers, so no doubt I'll be blogging about it more this month. The bottom line is that besides being informative, Our Choice is a truly beautiful book page after page, and I highly recommend it, particularly for those who want a broad overview of the key strategies for preserving a livable climate.

Can we start a pool on how many milliseconds after the books' release the first denier attack occurs?
Anyone who bets they'll wait to read the whole thing (I'm talking about the title)before attacking goes to the bottom of the class.
I'm in with 57.
I haven't read the book yet, but it sounds great, and I feel that I should take this opportunity to thank Al Gore, a lot!
I've seen the movie, of course, and seen him speak, and I've also read The Assault on Reason, and I heard him on a big conference call not so long ago, and so forth. He's a hero, and this world needs many more like him.
Humans will be thanking him for many many generations. That's the bottom line, as far as I can tell.
I'm glad to hear about this book and hope that he gets much more visible and indeed insistent.
Thank you Al Gore.

Gore agrees w. your prediction that Obama will go to Copenhagen.
Joe Romm — I was at one the Solutions Summit, … Missing of.
[JR: Thanks!]
the book is really really good–a truly comprehensive and well-thought-out account of where we are and what the options are. it's political savvy combined with wonkishness done extremely well, and we should all be grateful
#1, Brewster: I haven't looked, but I'd bet money (say a quarter, being a cheap SOB) that the attacks have already and long since begun. You 57 msec already loses …
By the bye, the pre-order link at Amazon is:
Thanks to Al Gore again.
Just to underline the difficulty of discussing climate contamination (change, warming, catastrophe, etc.) in the popular press, the above phrase "could sequester 1 gigaton per year of CO2, roughly 12 percent of annual global emissions." is incorrect. In recent years world releases of carbon dioxide have exceeded 30 gigatons per year, so one gigaton is only a few percent, not 12 as stated. It seems that about one third of news articles confuse weight of carbon with that of carbonic acid gas (CO2). In a number of respects, we are still in the Dark Ages.
By the way, does Al Gore say that oil is not an energy resource? I think he understands this but not sure if anyone has articulated the concept.
Joe, thanks for the review. And the shout-out to Sharon Begley – I've been a fan of her science writing for many years; was disappointed she moved to the WSJ for a while (and we canceled Newsweek in the interim) and have been very pleased to see her back writing for Newsweek again. Good stuff there.
Curious to see whether Al Gore offers up Carbon Sequestration as a favored or even remotely viable option. Al's still from a coal region (of the USA).
This just goes to prove that if you get enough smart people working on the problem, over time, we will see a plethora of solutions that were barely considered just a short time ago (e.g. concentrated solar, biochar, etc.) Popular support for greenhouse gas mitigation waxes and wanes but again, over time, we will reach a tipping point when controlling green house gases will seem routine for all educated people. So one big solution is more education, to which I believe your blog is making a great contribution.
Re joe1347 in comment 10:
Al Gore spoke at the 2008 Democratic National Convention when Obama was nominated for President. While discussing energy, he proposed the ambitious goal of ending coal consumption in one decade. He added that we should be sure to take care of displaced coal miners — providing them job retraining in clean energy industries.
It was a great goal, and a good speech. It got no press.
Zero coal in a decade is the right goal.
Very interesting. I haven't read the book yet but I will definitely try to read it as soon as possible. Seems very interesting and Gore's contribution to the fight against climate change has already been very siginificant. Therefore I'm really curious to see what his latest vision exactly is.
For more info on the environment, have a look at this Green News.
I'm glad to see the optimism about PV.
Energy Secretary Chu has said that at $2 per watt, PV will take off. PV cells are now about $3.50 per watt, but installation adds about $2-3 per watt, and DC-to-AC inverters add another $1-2 per watt.
Let's eliminate the installation costs through building integration (BIPV), and eliminate the inverter costs and losses with a DC standard. A DC standard can connect PV directly (through battery backup) to all the DC appliances and LED lighting in a home or office.
Looking forward to the book!
Have to post this here in case the link goes down.
If you want to see an excellent overview of the situation from a well respected Canadian think tank, Homer-Dixon ( http://speakers.ca/homer-dixon_thomas.aspx ), have a look at this must see video …
The Climate Energy Challenge: How will it change our economy and society
Thomas Homer-Dixon, author of "The Upside of Down"
A consensus is emerging among climate scientists that the world needs to move to as quickly as possible to zero carbon emissions. The rate of ramp down to zero will depend, in large part, on the perceived urgency of the climate crisis. Steeper rates of decline will require more unconventional (and perhaps innovative) technologies and institutions and likely more state intervention in economies to mobilize human and financial capital.
I bought "Climate Cover-up" based on your book review, and I'm glad I did.
I had already pre-ordered "Our Choice" – it's shipping soon – but if I hadn't, I would have ordered it today.

2)an ICE-FREE ARCTIC OCEAN
3)a Major Hurricane (guess a CAT-6 one) off the coast of Mexico

I have saw correctly, or my eyes fooled me?
Isn't that what will happen with less that 2ºC extra warming, or the warming considered "below" the TIPPING POINT for Dangerous Antropogenic Influence(DAI)?
Haven't us ALREADY passed such treshold for DAI?
I'm glad to hear Al Gore is supporting biochar. The biochar technology really is incredible! The production of biochar creates electricity from a renewable source, it increases plant yields as a soil amendment and safely takes C02 out of the atmosphere and stores it for hundreds of thousands of years. What more could you ask for? I encourage all to visit http://www.biocharbrokers.com to learn more on biochar and all that it can do.
Joe wrote: "Gore naturally focuses on energy, the source of most anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions …"
According to a new study published by the WorldWatch Institute, raising animals for meat produces more than half of all anthropogenic GHG emissions, significantly more than the 18 percent of all emissions attributed to livestock production by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 2006.
Thanks so much for your comments about Al Gore's sense of humor. It's an excellent means of tying his quest to his humanity. We need more environmental champions with well developed humor – and emotional wisdom.
The problem with so many of the "solutions" offered by the wealthy business class is that they rarely suggest immediately cutting a wealthy nation's egregious and porcine rate of resource consumption by 90%, which after all is about all that will save us now, and deliver eco-justice in the nick of time to the poor lowland nations who didn't invent AGW.
Instead these whizbang NEW GREEN technologies ALL need to be built with… fossil fuels! Yup, construction is very much business as usual, diesel and dynamite, steel and plastic, lithium and lime. it's just painted bright green this time round to fool us. So we have to now account for this HUGE spike in additional CO2 emissions that will come from every developed nation trying to compete with each other to burn themselves out of brown into green energy, while at the same time protecting existing FF burn rates because…yikes, the poor sufferin' Ekonomy would fall to bits and lights would go out if we pinched off that supply!
So who's crunching carbon numbers of a Brown PLUS Green burn for the next few decades of redesigning and remanufacturing transportation and toys on a planet of busy monkeys going bananas, forgetting that they've already overshot the ecological carrying capacity of their life support systems by nearly 40% ?
Al Gore? On an in-flight computer?
Is he suggesting we try to extract ourselves from the quicksands of Overshoot by pulling up on our carbon fibre shoelaces? I guess I'll have to go do some more carbon-intensive work to make a few more bucks so I can buy the book and find out, eh?
I write this as an F18 military war plane flies loop-de-loopy overhead, perhaps celebrating temporary victories of wars long past, or maybe they're just preparing to take over Bolivia next for it's lithium, since we're obviously not going to get much from that coca-chewing buddy of Castro. What a racket and rumble you do make, sir! I'm sure I would have to drive an ancient Buick for 100 years to burn the fuel that top gun sucker does in one hour. Who needs denial when so many oinks don't even give a shit?
I hope Al Gore was missquoted here "Biochar, which he learned about during a 1989 trip to the Amazon, is basically porous charcoal. Made by burning switch grass, corn husks, and other waste, it can absorb CO2 like a charcoal filter in a cigarette absorbs gases. Gore estimates that biochar could sequester 40 percent of annual CO2 emissions."
It is right that biochar can sequester significant amounts of carbon but it is not absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Biochar is the carbon contained in the plant biomass in condensed form. The formation of biochar reduces the speed of decomposition substantially and thus keeps the carbon from re-entering the atmosphere. It is a manipulation of the carbon cycle in a positive way. Fire is accelerating the carbon cycle – biochar as decelerating the carbon cycle.
Al Gore is a laughing-stock. His books are full of lies and propaganda intended to add to the $80 millions he's taken home since leaving office. I can't believe people are still flocking to this snake oil salesman.
If we are going to solve the problem of global warming we need to convince the naysayers rather than just dismissing them as "deniers". I am therefore confused. Why would Al Gore, his editors, and publishers, use a photo shop image on the cover? An image showing multiple hurricanes, with one by Florida spinning in the wrong direction ? It seems this is only going to add fuel to the denier's fire. Could it be that is the purpose? More controversy, more book sales, more fuel for the private jet.
[JR: Have you bothered to look at the book? The picture is the earth. The BACK of the cover is not secretly photo-shopped, it is clearly stated to be "an artist's rendering of an Earth where unchecked global warming has wreaked havoc.]
You've got some good points, Dingo, unfortunately. The book, "The Long Emergency" says similar things. :(
There are some SIMPLE ways we could fix the problem, if governments declared a planetary emergency and temporarily suspended democracy. For example, the abolishment of animals raised for food. NO MORE MEAT. 40% of GHG emissions gone immediately. And planting of trees on a massive scale, and laws against destroying trees. Another 20% of emissions reduced. The sickening thing about this whole situation is that there are solutions available. We're just not doing them. I think in order to overcome this problem, there will have to be a spiritual transformation and submission to mother nature– what's best for the planet. All the schemes and technologies may not work for us this time around. Time for humility.

than the Kahr 9mm. That\'s silly, why settle for half as much power? why pay twice as much for practice ammo? if you can\'t pocket the gun, why not have some real power, range, and controlability?
The way I like to put it in class is this way. Is what your going to carry or carrying better than a rock?
So the test I use is this:
What will you carry the most? If you don\'t have it what good is it?
What can you afford? See the first one.
Is it better than a rock?
From reports we know that 90+% of the time any firearm is better than a rock, because the BG is going to stop the act that prompted you to produce a firearm or make the BG aware that you have a firearm. So 90% or more of the time any firearm is better than a rock. For the other 10% or less you need to practice with what you carry.
Personally I only carry \"Mouse Guns\" as a BUG not a primary. I am able to dress around the gun I wish to carry, so I carry fairly large guns regularly. My wife carries a \"Mouse Gun\" as her primary as it is the only thing that works with her required wardrobe and her size. She is a size 0 or 2 depending on the clothing manufacturer. I\'d rather she have any gun versus having a rock.
I, too, shoot a .380 ACP Gold Dot from a full size, stainless frame Colt .380 Government.
Most people agree that \'close quarters'for civilian encounters is within seven feet.
My Colt is a custom with a new bushing and Novak low-mount sights. The best place to aim with a gun of this type is the divot above your upper lip, sometimes called the \'filtrum.\'
The bullet then goes up the nasal cavity with very little impediment.
I don\'t think the agressor is going to be complaining about \'mouse guns'after three of four of my slugs up his snot tube.
The mouse gun is a special tool for a special purpose. I rarely dip below .38 special. There just aren\'t many times when I can gain much by going smaller or less powerful than an Airweight snubby.
When I do carry just a mousegun (or even just the snubby for that matter) I think of it not as a fight-ender but instead like a fistfull of sand that I can throw in the bad guy\'s face while I either make my \"real\" attack or break and run.
Seven or eight .32 ACP or .25ACP rounds thrown into his face are likely to make him flinch, cover, or turn whether they stop or not. So, that\'s what I plan to expect. If I have to fight using a mousegun, I\'ll throw a magazine of mousebullets at his face and quickly transition to my folder, close the gap and carry on with the fight.
Mouse guns allow you to carry something that will aid your empty hand or contact-weapon skills that you can use from outside of baseball bat range. They don\'t replace anything but can make good aids to other tools and techniques.
I handgun hunt religously so I have seen how different calibers harvest game. I feel comfortable using the knowledge gained in chosing my gun and caliber against the human body. My Kel-Tec P11 is kind of like a missing link in my CCW collection. It is at the lower end of the spectrum of power that I feel comfortable using to defend my life. It can be my primary CCW as it is in my office, carrying it in my pant pocket, or as a back up gun behind my chosen .45acp primary. I have carried several revolvers and other lesser caliber semi-autos but never really had the level of confidence as I do in the Kel-Tec. Since I carry at all, I constantly practice at the local range. The Kel-Tec has never failed me yet. I even sometime fear that I will forget that it is there in time of need due to its small size and light weight. But if I do have to use it...its nice to know I have 11 rounds of decent 9mm ammo available.
Please keep in mind this opinion and $.75 will get you a good cup of coffee.
Early in this thread someone mentioned this hand gun that puts out a .38+P power in a small package. Seems like a great compromise between size and power in a pocket gun. Does anyone else carry this rocket?
Evan called .32 NAA the Nuclear Chihuahua...nice pic, Gunkid! HA !
I carry a .380, Keltec P3AT, and it is with me all the time! It makes no difference to the weather or my dress, I can pocket carry this little gun. As such, its always with me as opposed to some of my other stuff that does not handle (conceal) well in warm weather, at the office etc..
I tend to avoid mouse guns. The smallest I\'ll go is my S&W snub .357 in titanium. I hate it when it goes off, but I don\'t have to worry about power. I actually thinking about replacing it with a Bond Century 2000. Small deringer that shoot .410 shot shells. Less recoil than the S&W.
To put things into perspective, only recently have we become concerned about large caliber guns for CCW. Historically the so-called \"mousegun\" has been the weapon of choice for CCW carry, and an objective look at things will show it has acquited itself with great success over the years. I\'ve never met a BG who said that a gun was too small once it was pointed at him.
Kel-Tec P-3AT mostly, a S&W 39 when clothing allows it.

\nLove those "best part of it is that it will never come again" exchanges with random people. While it's "you had to be there" for most anyone you replay it for, I can relate in general (not just surfing) and perhaps others on here as well. Sounds like even if he was way out there, he was pretty stoked and just got to be happy for him. Dude was in the happy barn. I try to live in the happy barn.
\nThe impermanence of a single wave is definitely something to consider and appreciate. When I'm ducking diving out the back and I'm not able to ride a wave that looks awesome all of a sudden mid-set because I'm just not prepared to turn and attempt takeoff, or if I opt to go for the following wave in a set because it is expected to be better than the one at hand, I get slightly pissed but then compare it to a chick that walks by and you should've kicked some game to..."there will always be another". That may be true (unless all oceans bottle-neck in expedited fashion like the tideless Mediterranean; will always have wave pools in AZ) but your concept of the wave you are riding "in the moment" of time-stopped elemental experience is how we should treat all rides and I think most of us do. Because it seems we will remember all rides we get for the rest of our lives; perhaps the top level brahs have too many to remember.
\nThe only time I don't enjoy the essence of each ride for the greatness it's worth is when I'm not totally focused during the sesh, which does happen but shouldn't.

C'mon brah, we were just all thoughtfully responding to your inner-most desires and fears and happy to do so. Let's stay in the tree of trust! If not, we'll never be able to go to the Olive Garden again and let our imagination roam about that waitress.

\nIf you are getting cut off though, you might want to ask yourself or others why you think that's happening. Sometimes it's obvious that someone is just learning and some of the more experienced guys may take that as a sign of weakness and "snake" you just because "they can". It happens, seen it first hand, and it's not cool, but it's reality.

I would agree with everyone who says the drop. Nothing else like it. The rush it gives is unmatched.

I like the feeling of a vertical re-entry...you've already got a ton of speed going up, then to almost go past the lip, then get hung up for a moment, then the re-drop without having to paddle... what a rush! Never towed in but that probably comes close, especially on a macking 23 foot drop. A good barrel (3 plus seconds) is like being in another world. So it's a toss up. Making a gnarly barrel seems to be more of a rush than making a big drop. Especially backside.

the drop, followed by the hand drag on the wave face. Or tucking in back side way low with a rail grab.

On second thought, I gotta say getting cut off by a dolphin is the best.

While all the treasures mentioned thus far are gifts from above, how about a smokeshow female surfer that looks like perfection in that wetsuit, has a great face in a natural beauty way, AND can ride with some skill?
\nIf this serendipitous natural phenomenon presents itself to you on a colder day, I bet you that the increased blood flow will have a positive thermogenic effect for the rest of your session. And the rest of the day.

all of the above! mine changes each session. my mentality is your best wave is yet to come. havent surfed today but yesterday a bottom turn was the best part of my wave of the day. backside. one of those long sweeping turns, pivot, front hand in water and transitioned just about all my speed to the lip. i really enjoyed it.
\ngreat thread by the way. im in an awesome mood this morning reading all of these and how stoked and friendly everyone is.

Barrells and big boosts off the lip.

Love looking down the line from a perfect bowled up a-frame.
\nThat and seeing the curtain of water and the lip hitting the flats a few feet in front your toe side rail during a layback tube ride. Too bad that's usually right before my hamstring cramps up into a ride ending knot.

Most of these posts have covered it, but i sure do love getting in over my head sometimes. My favorite part of surfing is pushing your limits, heart beating and focusing on breathing and then you just say "f*ck it" and paddle out into surf that has consequence. That feeling of "Oh sh*t" when you see a clean up set rolling in and you just barely make it under the lip.
\nThat and getting slammed can sure be fun sometimes too- kamikaze close out barrels!!

You guys love these types of threads, huh.
I have heard some people say that the best part of using cocaine is the anticipation during the process of obtaining it, and that instance when it is in one's possession......
You know that feeling when a peak - a perfect friggin head high, groomed, well-shaped, and punchy with a peeling wall(oppossed to the bad type of walling) - comes right to you, epsecially if it's crowded, and it's all yours. Do you know that feeling? Is that feeling of anticipated excitement more of a high than the actual ride?
And I'm talking a good wave, one that sits in our poor, east coast memories for life. Man, we are a sad bunch of surfers. So unfortunate.
Anyways if the waves are good, and I mean good, every moment from the drop to kick out or that last close-out bash is the best moment. God, I'm so angry right now at people with quality waves.
Oh, a suggestion for fairness in a crowded world of limited resources: You guys who prefer the drop - maybe you guys could wear a ........ a what, was that, oh yeah a "tin foil hat" to show you guys are just going to drop in. Then you guys could just drop in straight, and allow others to ride the rest of the wave down-the-line. This is not an insult saying that you guys can't surf or anything like that. Just a mere suggestion since you guys like the drops. The hat will let others know you are just looking for drops...... Oh God, I'm just joking don't get all upset. I like drops, too, for Brigham Young's sakes........
Oh Spicoli and Erock.........please stop insulting each other. Please, at least get along for the kids' sakes. And Spicoli, aka Don King, me and Dawn Patrol SUP were not fighting. Now you boys shake hands and run along now. I'll call you when dinner's ready or "supper" if y'all prefer.

'; pd[174309] = '
I was merely joking that in today's crowded line-ups we could organize people in sections:
Those who like the drops the best, sit at the peak and just drop in straight(Tin Foil Hat)
Those who like barrels are next in line and pull in, but must kick out after the initial barrel section(Goggles)
Those who like seeing a lined-up wall are next and take off after the barrel riders (Hmmm a visor?)
Then those who are performanced oriented take off last for the shoulder cut back or close-out air( Backwards baseball hat)
Using this method we can all utilize the limited resources we have and everyone goes away happy.

critical speed on the edge of losing it, but the board gives you control throughout the ride, in the most unbelievable, breathtaking moments of purely perfect exhilaration.
when your board gets to do what it's meant to do, and you realize you are on the brink of your potential.
speed and critical edge success at what should not be possible.

nothing beats the barrel, or the pure "holy ****!" moment after a great wave.
\nbut a not-yet mentioned is that first pump off the bottom turn when your up on the highline, and the board feels weightless, and you realize the wave is your canvas. nothing better than seeing a wall of water ahead of you, and having the speed and position to do whatever you want with it.

yep, the barrel is the best part...always has been, always will be.
\nUnfortunately, we rarely get barrels where I surf. It's almost always onshore to an extent...I ride a lot of foam.

I'm trying to set up a hotel reservation system using Magento, and I'm a bit lost with the following issue:
Each room has the attribute values for MaxOccupancy, MaxAdults, MaxChildren and MaxBabies set up by the administrator, detailing how many people can stay in some room (For instance, in some cases, even if MaxOccupancy is not exceeded, the hotel has rules for how many children can stay in any room).
I also need to allow the customer to specify how many people s/he's trying to reserve for. I think it should be done using custom options (eg, dropdowns for Adults/Children/Babies), but it looks like connecting all that (including that the dropdowns need to be populated using only valid ranges for the current room) will be huge.
My question is: is there an easier way, or my idea is the only way of solving this? In any case, if somebody's has gone through the same, I'd appreciate some hints...

"Buffalo National River" Buffalo River National Park by Stephen-KarenConn
Buffalo River National Park Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 84 photos
The National Park Service of the United States oversees a very diverse collection of sites throughout the country. There are National Parks, National Monuments, National Historic Sites, National Seashores, National Recreation Areas, National Battlefields and much more. The Buffalo River in the Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas is the first in the country to be designated a National River.
As a National River the Buffalo becomes a kind of 135-mile-long linear Park. Most of this very scenic and pristine free-flowing river is many miles from any road or human habitation. A few points along the the river are easily accessible, and contain historic sites, picnic shelters and camping areas. The stream itself is a magnet for canoeists, rafters, fishermen, and nature lovers of all types.
The Buffalo became a National River in 1972, on the centennial of the establishment of Yellowstone as our nation's first National Park. In so doing, the little-known river escaped years of proposed damming. Today, the Buffalo National River flows unhindered through 95,700 acres of rugged and remote wilderness. Along it's banks are more than more than 100 miles of hiking trails and 14 designated campgrounds containing more than 200 sites. With its clear cool sparkling waters, towering sandstone bluffs, and abundant wildlife, the Buffalo is no no doubt one of America's finest free-flowing rivers.

Learn something new every time I visit your pages, Stephen. A River National Park...and a beauty it is. The Collier Homestead information was excellent as were the photographs of it and the area..Hope this promotes visits to Arkansas.
Thanks for showing us this beautiful area - very good info and beautiful pictures! Canoening the Buffalo National River sounds interesting.
an interesting page and great pics ! Merry Christmas and a happy new Year !
We have not been to this part of the USA! My husband's great-grandfather is buried in Wye, in Pulaski Co. so we have genealogy work to do here. Very nice pics. Marcia
Wonderful photos...can't wait to read the tips! Thank you for the birthday wishes...my birthday trip to Rausch Creek is being built now!

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Oxford Medical Diagnostics (OMD), the developer of breath-based tests for metabolic and infectious diseases, reports raising £981,000 (roughly $1.61 million). The funding will be used in the development of its device for the diagnosis and monitoring of type 1 and 2 diabetes.
By next year, the company aims to bring to market a point-of-care diagnostic that detects the volatile gas acetone, which is reportedly a known marker for both types of diabetes. This test is based on OMD's CEAS (cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy) and PES (plasma emission spectroscopy) technologies, and the company is also working on diagnostics for infectious diseases.
OMD says that it has raised £2.2 million to date. The company also generates revenue from its gas analysis service segment. Besides the CEAS and PES platforms, OMD's technologies included broadband CEAS. The firm says that it recently signed an R&D agreement with gas analyst specialist Michell Instruments of Ely.
