U.S. Wind Power Capacity Vaults to Top Spot due to Rapid Growth
February 11, 2009
The U.S. wind energy industry shattered all previous records in 2008, installing 8,358 megawatts (MW) of new generating capacity and placing the United States above all other nations in terms of installed wind power capacity. U.S. wind capacity increased by 50%, bringing it to a total of 25,170 MW, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). That's enough to push the United States above Germany, the previous leader for installed wind power capacity. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Germany had 22,247 MW of wind capacity at the start of the year, but added only 1,665 MW in 2008, bringing it to 23,903 MW, more than 2,000 MW short of the new U.S. total. Overall, global wind power capacity increased by 28.8% in 2008, with more than 27,000 MW of new generating capacity, increasing the global wind power capacity to 120,791 MW, according to the GWEC.
Currently, only China appears able to challenge the U.S. lead, as the rapidly growing country added 6,300 MW of wind turbines in 2008 to more than double its installed wind power capacity for the fourth year in a row. China's total wind power capacity is only 12,210 MW—less than half of the U.S. wind capacity—but if the country continues to accelerate in its pursuit of wind power, it could quickly catch up to the U.S. total. Of course, a big unknown for 2009 is how each country will be affected by the global economic crisis, as the GWEC notes that financing for new projects and new orders for wind turbines and components slowed to a trickle by year's end. According to AWEA Chief Executive Officer Denise Bode, "it is clear that the economic and financial downturn have begun to take a serious toll on new wind development. We are already seeing layoffs in the area where wind's promise is greatest for our economy: the wind power manufacturing sector." See the press releases from AWEA and the GWEC, as well as the GWEC's country-by-country compilation of wind power capacity totals (PDF 45 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
Looking to the future, at least one organization remains bullish on global wind power growth. The Energy Watch Group, which bills itself as an international network of scientists and parliamentarians, notes that global wind power capacity has experienced exponential growth since the early 1990's, and the group expects the trend to continue. As wind power becomes more competitive with competing sources of electricity, the group sees rapid growth fueled by access to new wind energy resources, greater access to power grids, and an emerging world market for wind turbines and components. The group recently released a study that explores four different scenarios for global power consumption and wind power generation, and each scenario projects that wind power will eventually capture half of the market share for new power plant installations, with the date of that accomplishment ranging from 2017-2033. By 2025, the four scenarios result in renewable energy providing 23%-65% of the world's electricity needs. See the press release (PDF 185 KB) and full study (PDF 5.6 MB) from the Energy Watch Group.

(Charlo) salish, Kootenai. Pend 'd Orielles Tribes ff^qhtqh) Volume 2 Number 22 FULL MOON OF THE GOOSE FLIGHT March 15,1973 Price 15 cents Tribe Wants Jurisdictional "Misunderstanding" Boundary Action Knowles (Char-Koosta): This small community just outside the western boundary of the reservation has been the subject of a long dispute between the tribe and the federal government. The Tribe insists that in the original survey of the reservation, Knowles and about 10,000 acres of wooded hills to the north, south and west were included as tribal lands. But when the boundaries were finally drawn, Knowles and the Robertson creek drainage south of of Flathead River were wrongfully left out. The government does not den\ that the land should belong to the tribe. . . in fact there was a provision in the $27,000,000 judgement for the survev error. But the Tribal Council decided that the land - - - which is currently in the hands of the Lolo National Forest - -'- was worth more than the cash so the money was put into escrow pending action by congress to return the land to the Tribe. (continued on page 5) Causes A Number Of Problems Poison (Char-Koosta): The sometimes turbulent jurisdictional partnership between the tribe and the State of Montana is now hanging by a thread after the dismissal of an Indian juvenile case two weeks ago by »a Poison District Court. On March 2 District Court Judge J. Gardner Brownlee dis- and was no longer valid. The announcement was also to contain a warning that any state officer arresting a tribal member would be liable to false arrest charges. The Tribe (in Resolution 40-A revised) and the State (in House Bill 55) had agreed to Criminal and eight areas of civil jurisdiction in 1964. Among the eight areas of civil missed a juvenile delinquency case against three tribal member jurisdiction aSumedby the children on the grounds that state was juvenile cases such as his court did not have jurisdic- the ones Judge Brownlee dis-tion. The move set a chain of misSed. A month before the events which touched off the dismissa| of these juvenile angry renunciation of the con- caseS/ the Montana Supreme current jurisdictional agreement had overturned Judge by the tribal council, an armed Brownlee's decision in a case involving civil debt. The State's high court had said Judge Brown- resistance of Poison Police and Lake County Sheriff's Deputies and finally a retraction of the' dismissal by another District Court Judge. The Council was in session when word came that Judge Brownlee had refused jurisdiction in the case involving a 15 year old boy and two girls, 12 and 16 years of age. The Coun cil reacted by passing action to inform the governor and all state law enforcement officers the ^ia^eJ°^'.n?..u[1:l_t_Salef110l1-the the jurisdictional agreement lee did not have jurisdiction to hear that case because it was not included in the eight areas of civil jurisdiction. Standoff Early the following week, a Poison Police officer attempted to serve a felony warrent from Washington on James Burland. According to Tribal Law and Order Police Chief Lloyd Jackson, Burland, his brother Philip and two other Indians told the officer that the state no longer had jurisdiction on the reservation. The four went to the Burland home, got rifles and stood the officer, another Poison policemen and three Flathead County Sheriff's Deputies off until Jackson appeared. Jackson (continued on page 2) Trifoe-BIA Must Comply With Environmental Law Washintgon (Char-Koosta): Major tribal-federal projects, such had been violated by the state Jocko River Mud Dixon (Char-Koosta): A lot of mud is being stirred over a project to bank the lower Jocko River. The plan, which would involve about three miles of the river between the Ravalli Bridge and the Dixon Bridje is designed to bridle the river within her banks during high water. It was devised by six lower Jocko land owners and a federal agency, The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) from Sanders County. Opposition to the plan has been both procedural and philosophical. Some feel the idea of banking up the river to protect land is justifiable, but they insist that nefther the land owners nor ASCS consulted the proper authorities or researched the project carefully enough. This group includes the Tribal Council. Others are basic-(continued on page 6) Flathead Reservation, will now come under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). Notification of the lecision by the Department of the Interior was received Tuesday. The new ruling will mean that projects on the Flathead and other Indian reservations which "significantly affect the quality of the environment" wil be subject to pre-project environmental impact statements. Word about the decision was received in Dixon following a two-month delay on approval from BIA on the 81.3 million board feet Valley logging unit sale. The ruling, handed down by Interior Secretary Rogers B. Morton and Special Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Marvin Franklin, came out of a federal court decision in Arizona. The U.S. Court of Appeals found in Davis versus Morton, that the Interior Department and BIA must comply with NEPA regulations on large trifcjal projects which they must approve. The case involved the 99-year lease of project sites on the Pueblo reservation to the Sangre de Christo Development Company. The 19,330 acres of timber in the Valley logging unit were sold to the Evans Product Com- (continued on page 2)

Eminem, Same-Sex Marriage and Same-Old Homophobia
Memo to Eminem: the year 2000 called. It wants its lyrics back.
In advance of the release of his next album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," Eminem has put out a single called "Rap God," a six-minute tribute to himself and a host of rappers who have inspired him. Likely waxing nostalgic about the success of the first "Marshall Mathers LP," the rapper resorts to the same tired, violently homophobic lyrics that will remind many of the song "Criminal" from that album, ranging from Em's ability to "break a motherf—–'s table over the back of a couple f-ggots and crack it in half" in the first verse to this ridiculous tirade in the second:
"Little gay-looking boy / So gay I can barely say it with a straight face-looking boy / You witnessing massacre like you watching a church gathering taking place-looking boy / 'Oy vey, that boy's gay,' that's all they say looking-boy / You take a thumbs up, pat on the back, the way you go from your label every day-looking boy."
By now, we know the drill, and so does Eminem. He's aiming for a comeback in a world of hip-hop which has now embraced artists like singer-songwriter Frank Ocean, who has sung about falling in love with another man. Macklemore's single "Same Love," about as forceful a defense of gay marriage ever committed to verse, is one of the most popular songs on his wildly successful album. So what better way for Eminem to stir up controversy than to hark back to the repulsive homophobic lyrics that garnered so much attention at the start of his career?
A representative for Eminem didn't return a request for a comment.
Perhaps worse than this cynical ploy are all the media outlets falling all over themselves to praise the rapper's flow, all while ignoring the content. Time called the single "divine." Rolling Stone chimed in about the song's influences without commenting once on its content. MTV News refers to the track's "expertly laid verses." Is the song impressive? Absolutely (here's what Speakeasy wrote about it). It would be even more so without the needlessly offensive parts.
As expected, the commentators have started chiming in. Several have already decried the lyrics, as have many LGBT rights groups. Richard Lane, media manager at Stonewall, said: "Eminem seems stuck in the last century with these outdated and deeply offensive lyrics." A representative for Eminem didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Let's fast forward, shall we? Once the brouhaha settles down a bit, Eminem will probably sit down for an interview with someone affable and relevant—let's say Jimmy Kimmel—much as he did with Anderson Cooper in 2010, to explain that he has nothing against gays in general. In that Cooper interview, Eminem tried to disassociate the term "f-ggot" from the gay community by saying that where he grew up, "the word was thrown around constantly, to each other, like in battling," Ok, Em, so what about "gay-boy"? Is that also not really a reference to gays?
Next will come the social progressives—including some LGBT folk, no doubt—who will stand up and claim they know Eminem, and he's no homophobe. Right. He just uses homophobic lyrics to stir up controversy and sales. Go back and substitute the word "gay" in the above lyrics with the word "n–—er" or "Jew" and tell me how that would go over. There would be no praise heaped on the rapper. There would be nothing but outright condemnation.
Fortunately, the world has moved on, even if Eminem hasn't. He may have a specific person in mind with his "gay-boy" lyric. So what? It's still childish. I don't really care if Eminem is or isn't a homophobe. I just wish he'd stopped being so lazy and find some other punching bag besides the LGBT community.
Elton isn't going to come and save the day this time, Em. I know it's hard to stay relevant as a 41-year-old rapper (today is actually his birthday). But you are far too talented to rely on these tired games. A "Rap God" doesn't need to pick on or bully anyone. His flow speaks for itself.

You might very well think the new Kevin Spacey version of "House of Cards" is better than the Ian Richardson original. I couldn't possibly comment. Except to say that, in transferring the action to the U.S., the reboot of the beloved political thriller has lost some of its exotic appeal but gained extra relevance. "House of Cards," a bold step into original programming by Netflix, debuts online on Friday. In fact, as a nod to the modern age of marathon TV viewing, all 13 episodes will be released that day.
Deeply cynical about human beings as well as politics and almost gleeful in its portrayal of limitless ambition, "House of Cards" is a wonderfully sour take on power and corruption. Spacey, with a sweet Southern accent and genteel manners, is the perfect pick to play the ruthless U.S. congressman, following Richardson's indelible performance in the original as a member of Parliament.
Spacey vacillates between chilling and charming, breaking the fourth wall to speak directly, confidentially, to the camera. Spacey plays Francis "Frank" Underwood, a brilliant manipulator with the same very intentional initials as Richardson's character, Francis Urquart, in the 1990 British miniseries. As the House Majority Whip, F.U. is a power player who keeps to the background.
"My job is to clear the pipes and keep the sludge moving," he explains. He knows everyone's secrets and motivations; he moves the pieces around the board of Washington politics with aplomb, working his way toward higher office -- possibly the Oval Office? -- while making others feel like they're making the decisions. "Give and take. Welcome to Washington," he drawls. Robin Wright ("Enlightened") is suitably cold and driven as Frank's wife, Claire. "I love that woman," he tells us. "I love her more than sharks love blood."
She'd take that as a high compliment. The role of Claire owes a debt to Lady Macbeth, with the modern-day co-conspirator urging her husband to use the rowing machine rather than the knife sharpener. But the knives are there, figuratively, at every turn. "What a martyr craves is a sword to fall on. You sharpen the blade," Frank confides to the audience. He orchestrates leaks and sets up the dominoes: Give a print reporter a hint, it will be picked up by George Stephanopoulos on the Sunday morning TV roundtable, then tip off a special-interest group as the report is on the air, and watch the fallout torpedo a federal appointment."It's too easy," he says.
Besides the terrific footage of Washington, D.C. -- both monuments and neighborhoods -- the scenery includes Stephanopoulos of ABC and CNN's John King and Donna Brazile all playing themselves. The series was shot on location in Washington and Baltimore. Director David Fincher ("The Social Network") creates a dark mood with shadowy interiors and nighttime shots.
The story takes in the usual venues, from the fictional Herald newsroom to Georgetown townhomes to inaugural festivities. The dialogue even includes a hat tip to the landmark D.C. political thriller, when Underwood arranges to meet a young Herald reporter, Zoe Barnes (played by Kate Mara), after hours by a parking garage." How very Deep Throat of you," Zoe says.
A second season is planned. Media Rights Capital, the independent studio that optioned the rights, packaged the project and offered it to various networks, is banking on viewers' new relationship with TV content by hooking up with Netflix. The idea that all 13 episodes will be available immediately for streaming is not the only thing that's new; viewers will notice the pacing is different because the writers don't feel compelled to end every episode with a cliffhanger.
Scenes pick up where they left off in the previous episode, and respect the audience's ability to sustain interest. Given the intrigue, great characters and Spacey's sublime performance, viewers won't need gimmicks to keep them coming back for more.

1 <Day 19) Monday, 14th February 2000
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Mr Irving.
3 MR IRVING: May it please the court. I have given your
4Lordship a little bundle of documents. That is a bundle
5of translations, my Lord, is that right, which your
6Lordship asked for, the Kommissar order and various other
7documents. I do not think your Lordship needs to look at
8it now, but your Lordship did ask for the translations.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is very kind of you. Thank you. The
10usual question, where should it go?
11 MR RAMPTON: We do not have them.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Where is the Kommissar order in German?
13 MR IRVING: I have a set of copies for the Defence, but
14I forgot to bring them.
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Could somebody look out where the Kommissar
16order is in German?
17 MR RAMPTON: We do not have the translations, so I do not know
18what document it is.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Do you remember the Kommissar order being
20referred to? I am not actually sure we have it in German
21either. Anyway, can I leave it with you?
22 MR IRVING: Yes, guidelines and Kommissar order.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
24 MR RAMPTON: The one of May 1941, is that the one?
25 MR IRVING: That is correct, yes.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: June, I think.
1 MR IRVING: My Lord, I have also given you a little bundle
2which I have called temporarily bundle F, Professor
3Evans. These are documents which, in the course of
4cross-examination, I intend to put to Professor Evans.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is very helpful to have them all in one
7 MR IRVING: I have provided the defence with four or five sets.
8 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Thank you.
9 MR RAMPTON: My Lord, there is something I should wish to
10mention, if I may. I do it now because time is getting
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
13 MR RAMPTON: I received on Sunday, yesterday, what purports to
14be a further witness statement of Dr Fox.
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
16 MR RAMPTON: Has your Lordship been sent that?
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I do not think so, no.
18 MR RAMPTON: I think your Lordship should be given a copy.
19 MR IRVING: I have a copy but in fact I decided not to call
20that witness. I should say that now in fact.
21 MR RAMPTON: That is helpful. I can sit down and be quiet.
22 MR IRVING: Quite simply, the witness was going to testify on
23two matters. One was what Mr Rampton referred to as
24freedom of speech matters, and I was also going to add to
25that the police decodes, but I decided on balance that
26I know as much about the police decodes as he does. We
1have both worked on the same body, so I think it would
2help to save the court's time if we do not call him and
3just rely on his written statement.
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is a matter for you, obviously.
5 MR IRVING: My Lord, I now wish to continue the
6cross-examination of Professor Evans.
7 < PROFESSOR EVANS, Recalled
8< Cross-examined by MR IRVING, continued.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. Professor Evans, come back into the
10witness box. I wondered before you start, Mr Irving, if
11I might ask one question that is in my mind of Professor
12Evans. It is this. You were asked, you remember, on
13Thursday what material of Mr Irving's you had been
14studying in order to arrive at the conclusions you arrived
15at in your written report.
16 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
17 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] Your answer was that you had focused, at any rate, on what
18Mr Irving described as the chain of documents on which he
19relies for his contention that Hitler was relatively
20friendly towards the Jews. I should know myself the
21answer to this, but where does Mr Irving make his
22reference to the chain of documents? I think it is his
23phrase, is it not?
24 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, it is.
25 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] I simply cannot remember where and when he made that
1 MR IRVING: My Lord, perhaps I can help? I have made reference
2in various speeches to the chain of documents of course,
3and talks, and probably in the introduction to ----
4 MR RAMPTON: Your Lordship will find it on page 220 of
5Professor Evans's report at paragraph 4.3A(1).
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Now that is on the transcript, that may
7really be enough, but can I go to it?
8 MR RAMPTON: BBC Television in June 1977.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think that is sufficient, Professor Evans.
10Thank you. Yes, Mr Irving. Do you want to pause and find
11it? It will be quicker if you have it, I suspect.
12 MR IRVING: I made a number of sets for the gentlemen of the
13press this morning so that they can follow what we are
14doing, because there were complaints about that, my Lord.
15Today I intend to continue to explore in general, if I can
16just in two lines tell you what I am going to be doing,
17the credibility of the witness with special reference to
18the remarks that he has made about my methodology in the
19introductory parts of his report. We will certainly cover
20the first 100 to 150 pages of the report today, my Lord.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You must take your own course, but bear in
22mind in the end I am anxious to look at the individual
23criticisms as well as the general comments.
24 MR IRVING: Yes. (To the witness): Professor Evans, today is
25the 55th anniversary of the air raid on Dresden. Would
26you have described that as a Holocaust?

Sandy Won't Cause Pain at the Pump
Sandy cut a swath of destruction up and down the East Coast, but one place most consumers won't see a big effect is at the gas pump.
Gasoline prices were falling before Sandy struck, and nationally, at least, they've continued to drop in the storm's aftermath. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline stands at $3.52, according to the auto club AAA, down a penny from yesterday and down 10 cents from a week ago. (Prices are up a hair from a year ago, however.)
Sandy did force the shut-down of several East Coast refineries, which could lead to tight gasoline supplies in the days ahead. But any impact is likely to be relatively minor and short-lived. As the Journal's Josh Mitchell and Sudeep Reddy reported today, the forecasting firm IHS Global Insight projects a 10- to 15-cent per-gallon increase that would last just a matter of days. Some other analysts are projecting an even smaller impact.
That a storm of Sandy's size and destruction would have such a muted impact might come as a surprise, especially given the big price spikes associated with past storms, including the 45-cent-a-gallon increase that followed Hurricane Isaac earlier this year. But several factors are working in drivers' favor this time around.
First and most significantly, the East Coast simply isn't that important as a gasoline supplier. The refineries in Sandy's path make up about 8% of U.S. refining capacity. Isaac, by contrast, idled nearly half of U.S. capacity when it hit the refinery-rich Gulf Coast.
Damage also appears to have been minor. The region's largest refinery, Philadelphia Energy Solutions' 330,000-barrel-per-day facility in Philadelphia, came back online Tuesday, and several smaller plants are also coming back online. Two other refineries remain shut down, including a Phillips 66 facility in heavily flooded Bayway, N.J. But even if those plants stay offline for long periods, they aren't likely to have a meaningful impact on U.S. gasoline prices.
Moreover, Sandy won't just have an impact on supply—it will also hit demand. Massive power outages and other ongoing disruptions mean that millions of Americans are staying home from work and school, in some cases for days. Less driving, of course, means less gasoline consumption. Energy analyst Stephen Schork says the drop in demand may more than offset reduced supplies.
Lastly, Sandy hit during a time of year when demand is already low. Gasoline consumption is generally around 5% lower in October and November than in July and August—a significant change given that the U.S. uses more than 350 million gallons of gas a day. That means the gasoline markets have a bit more room to absorb a supply hit now than they do when storms hit during the summer driving season.

SAN FRANCISCO -- On a morose afternoon that ended with team officials defending a controversial decision to play an embattled Aldon Smith, the 49ers were overall left stunned by a second straight defeat.
Sunday's 27-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts reinforced many of the 49ers' ills, which they'll now attempt to remedy without their reigning team MVP.
Smith, arguably the league's premier sack artist, is taking an indefinite leave of absence to seek treatment as a result of Friday's arrest on suspicion of drunken driving, his second such arrest since January 2012.
Team CEO Jed York said Smith will not play in Thursday's game at St. Louis, where the 49ers will try to snap their first two-game losing streak since coach Jim Harbaugh took over in 2011.
Smith offered a widespread apology in a prepared statement, adding: "I also want to let it be known that this is a problem. It's something I will get fixed. I'll do everything in my power to make sure this never happens again."
On the field, the 49ers (1-2) repeated their downfalls from last week's 29-3 loss in Seattle: a stagnant offense, costly penalties, numerous injuries and an eventual defensive collapse.
Smith, who still faces a potential suspension by the league, didn't add to his team-high 31/2 sacks. That wasn't the root of the 49ers' evils.
The 49ers offense looked nothing like the one that blistered the Green Bay Packers two weeks earlier in a triumphant opener at Candlestick Park.
"We ain't having no drives, making those big plays, too many three-and-outs (and) we're not getting in rhythm," running back Frank Gore said.
Gore and the 49ers' once-powerful rushing attack looked back on track while keying their lone touchdown drive, a 91-yard, game-tying march in the first quarter that Kendall Hunter capped with a 13-yard touchdown run on a draw.
But Gore had just three carries for 12 yards after halftime, and the 49ers couldn't generate offense elsewhere, most noticeably among an inept receiving corps that sorely missed tight end Vernon Davis, who sat with a hamstring injury.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick put up similar passing numbers to his Seattle shortcoming: 13 of 27 for 150 yards with one interception and three sacks. A week earlier, he was 13 of 28 for 127 yards with three interceptions and three sacks.
"I have to be able to throw receivers open and give them a chance to make plays," Kaepernick said.
For the 11th time in Kaepernick's 13 starts, the 49ers failed to produce a first down on their opening series. Defensively, the 49ers weren't any better, allowing Stanford product Andrew Luck to lead an 80-yard touchdown drive on the game's first series, ending with a 1-yard scoring run from newcomer Trent Richardson.
"I thought our team was ready to play 100 percent," Harbaugh said.
Cornerback Tarell Brown said otherwise: "Felt flat, looked flat. Guys have to come with a lot more intensity and start fast. We haven't started fast all year."
By the time Luck scored on a 6-yard bootleg with 4:13 remaining, there was little doubt the Colts (2-1) had secured an upset of an increasingly wounded 49ers squad.
Headlining Sunday's injury report was star linebacker Patrick Willis, who left late in the third quarter with a groin injury that could keep him out of Thursday's game. Also exiting were special-teams ace Bubba Ventrone (concussion) and cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (right leg).
Harbaugh said he had no insight into the severity of Willis' injury. As for the rest of the 49ers' problems, Harbaugh said: "We didn't make the plays. There wasn't enough opportunity to make plays."
Smith had his chances, playing almost every defensive snap while Justin Smith and Ray McDonald got more relief. So why did Aldon Smith play in the first place?
"It was the decision that we made as an organization, as a team, that we felt was in the best interest of our team and for Aldon long term," Harbaugh responded.
While Smith made five tackles, the defense overall allowed more rushing yards (179) than Luck passing yards (164).
"We knew if we could run the ball and stop the run -- that is what Coach (Chuck) Pagano preaches -- then we would have a fighting chance," Luck said.
The 49ers have 13 rounds left in defense of their NFC title belt. Can they get off the mat after back-to-back knockouts?

By Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Occasionally mentioned as a potential papal candidate,
Cardinal Ennio Antonelli of Florence, Italy, is known for his optimistic
pastoral approach and his strong social teachings.
With a background in classics and art history, the 68-year-old Italian
ministers in one of the world's most famous art cities and has made love of
beauty a part of his pastoral ministry.
He is well known among Italy's cardinals and bishops after serving as
general secretary of the Italian bishops' conference, 1995-2001. He
currently serves as vice president of the Tuscan bishops' conference.
As a member of the pontifical councils for Social Communications and for the Laity, Cardinal Antonelli puts special emphasis on the role of lay people in the church.
As in most European cities, church attendance in Florence is relatively low,
but he said the small number of "active and responsible faithful" who get
personally involved in the life of the church is on the rise
"This phenomenon is unexpected" but is "a sign of a providential rebirth," he said in a December interview with the Italian daily, Il Tempo.
In the midst of the secularization that has taken hold across most of
Europe, the cardinal praised Catholics who "pay splendid witness to prayer,
charity, helping the poor, education, missionary courage and Christian joy."
"They make up a bright and credible sign of the presence of Christ the
savior," he told the newspaper Toscana Oggi in a recent interview.
In the world of politics, the cardinal lamented the lack of political
representation that fully reflects a Christian agenda.
Though "politics is about mediation and compromise" and "one can never be
fully satisfied" in getting what one wants, "the Christian today may find
himself in great difficulty because his vision of society is not fully
promoted by either the major or minor political parties," he told Il Tempo.
Cardinal Antonelli, like most Italian bishops, was an outspoken critic of
the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, which the Italian government supported.
When the war began in March 2003, he and the bishops of Italy's Tuscany
region issued a statement expressing their sadness and their disappointment
that Pope John Paul II's repeated appeals against the war were ignored.
Cardinal Antonelli asked all the churches in his archdiocese to toll their
bells in mourning the first night of the war and said his own opposition to
military action in Iraq was "convinced, firm and passionate."
He invited people to come to a church in the center of the city and pray the
rosary for peace with him and encouraged them to continue demonstrating
their opposition to the war "in the squares and the churches, with our body
and souls."
The cardinal has criticized the unbridled march of globalization, saying it
causes a variety of negative effects.
In an interview in late 2002 with the Italian Catholic paper Avvenire, he
said that if globalization was allowed to be driven by international
financial interests "with the sole aim of making a profit" it would "produce
extremely negative effects" such as economic inequality among peoples, a
more consumerist and materialistic society, wasted resources and
environmental degradation.
To counter such a trend, economic policy needs to be infused with an ethical
standard that promotes "the dignity of the human person and the fundamental
rights to life, health, nutrition, education, work, housing and freedom of
conscience," he said.
Also, "political action must aim to build a framework of solidarity on a
planetary scale," and laws must be enacted that "adequately govern the
global market," he said.
Though in tune with world affairs, Cardinal Antonelli has always been quick
to address pastoral problems on the local level.
In a 1990 pastoral letter, for example, he condemned superstition in all its
More than 90 percent of Italians are Catholic, yet millions read their
horoscopes each day and turn to tarot card readers, and many request
"Superstition abounds where faith and religious instruction are scarce," he
wrote in 1990.
In the early 1990s, as head of the Archdiocese of Perugia-Citta della Pieve,
he wrote a pastoral letter that reaffirmed church rules against the
performing of exorcisms without the explicit permission of the bishop.
When the Vatican issued a revised Rite of Exorcism in 1999, he told a
Vatican press conference that cases of demonic possession are very rare, but"today people look for the devil everywhere, except where he really is -- in
In almost every archdiocesan celebration in which he has been involved,
Cardinal Antonelli has spoken of "the unique religious and civil vocation" of Florence as a treasury of religious art visited by millions of Christians
and non-Christians each year.
"If being a bishop is beautiful, here in Florence it takes on a special
beauty," he said in his Il Tempo interview.
In a June 2003 pastoral letter, he said each Catholic in Florence has an
obligation to share the religious significance of the works of Michelangelo,
Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael with the tourists who come to see
Born Nov. 18, 1936, in Todi, Ennio Antonelli entered the minor seminary in
his home town and finished his high school studies at the regional minor
seminary in Assisi.
Sent to Rome's major seminary, he studied philosophy and theology at Lateran
University and was ordained to the priesthood in 1960.
While serving as chaplain to a variety of parish and diocesan groups in
Todi, he also earned a degree in Latin and Greek from the University of
Perugia in 1966, followed by a teaching certificate in history, art history
and philosophy.
He taught Greek, Latin and art history in high schools in Umbria, then from
1968 to 1983 served as an instructor of dogmatic theology at the Theological
Institute of Assisi and in diocesan programs for the theological education
of the laity throughout the Umbria region.
He was named bishop of Gubbio in 1982 and archbishop of Perugia-Citta della
Pieve in 1988.
In 1995, Pope John Paul named him general secretary of the Italian bishops'
conference, a full-time job for which he had to relocate to Rome. He was
named archbishop of Florence in 2001 and was elevated in 2003 to the College
of Cardinals.

You have a routine in place to manage diabetes when you are at home and work. And, you try hard to eat right and exercise. But, any change to your schedule can disrupt your blood sugar (glucose) level. Does this mean you cannot enjoy holidays and vacations? Of course you can! You just need to take the time to talk to your doctor and create a plan that's right for you.
The holidays are filled with temptations—from five-course meals to fancy alcoholic drinks. When high-calorie and high-fat foods are on the menu, not to mention all of the opportunities to slip away from your exercise routine, how can you manage your diabetes?
Follow these tips to safely navigate the bustling holiday season:
When you have diabetes, going on vacation means extra steps to keep your blood glucose level in check. Taking the time to prepare for your flight or road trip will help you to anticipate and treat problems, like hypoglycemia. These tips can help you to be ready for anything, whether it is a delay at the airport or an extra day in Miami Beach.
Be prepared by ordering the medication one month before your trip. Ask your doctor if the insulin needs to be in a special insulated bag (but never frozen). Keep a list of your medications (including the generic names) and have the prescriptions with you, not in your checked luggage.
These may include glucose testing strips, needles, syringes, and ketone testing strips. If you use an insulin pump, bring a back-up pump (including batteries) or an insulin injection kit in case of emergency. Know what your pump settings are. Also pack your glucagon kit, if you are at risk for severe hypoglycemia. When traveling abroad, keep in mind that other countries may not have the same supplies that are sold in the United States, or the same electrical outlets for recharging batteries.
Flying to a warmer climate? Both the excitement of a trip and the heat can cause hypoglycemia. Testing your levels more often and staying hydrated can help stave off problems.
Check out the Transportation Security Administration's website. Here, you will find the most current information on getting through security. You are allowed to pack your medication and diabetes supplies in your carry-on, and the medication does have to meet the restriction of being less than 3.4 ounces. Just be sure your medication has original labels on it. If you have an insulin pump and are worried about going through the metal detector, be sure to explain this to the security officer. In addition, if you are in line and are having a diabetic reaction, such as hypoglycemia, tell the officer right away.
If you are taking a long flight, call a few days before and ask if they offer a special meal for people with diabetes. Once onboard, ask a flight attendant when the meal will be served. If you are using a rapid acting insulin, this will give you a timeframe as to when you should give yourself an injection.
Don't only rely on what the airline will serve you. Come to the airport prepared with your own snacks and meal. As long as the food is tightly wrapped and in a spill-proof container, you can bring it through security and onto the plane. Snacks like pretzels, granola bars, and carrot sticks are fine to put in your carry-on. Also remember to pack foods to treat hypoglycemia (like glycogen tablets, sugar packets, and hard candy). Once through security, you can buy a drink and bring it onto the plane. If you have checked luggage, pack an extra meal. This may consist of dehydrated soup, a package of tuna fish, and raisins. These items are also great to include if you are taking a road trip.
If you are traveling across time zones, ask your doctor how this will affect when you give yourself an injection and how much insulin you should give. Also, if you use an insulin pump, remember to change the clock setting to the local time. Switching time zones can be especially challenging when you have diabetes, so be sure to frequently check your blood glucose level.
If you have a road trip ahead of you, test your blood glucose level before leaving home. Pack plenty of snacks, meals, drinks, and a kit in case of hypoglycemia. Take breaks so you can check your glucose level and stretch your legs.
If heading for the thrills at an amusement park, talk to the staff in the guest relations office. They may give you a handicapped pass that will reduce the amount of time you spend waiting in line. Also, remember to bring your backpack filled with diabetes supplies, snacks, and drinks. If you are at a water park, be sure to protect your supplies by putting them in a waterproof bag. A wheelchair may be a good option if you have trouble walking.
When you have diabetes, you are more prone to developing foot problems because of nerve damage. Take extra care of your feet while on vacation by wearing shoes that fit you well. Avoid going barefoot because you may cut or bruise your foot.
While it is tempting to overindulge while away from home, try to stick to your regular meal plan. If you find that you are eating in restaurants a lot, try splitting the meal with your partner. This can help with portion control. Before visiting another country, ask your dietitian for advice on making good food choices. In general, order a broth-based soup or salad, skip the bread and butter, eat a normal-sized meal (not super-sized), and share or skip dessert.
Know how to get in touch with your doctor in case of an emergency. It is also a good idea to find the location of the closest hospital and whether they accept your insurance.
No matter where you are—a friend's holiday party or a ride at an amusement park—you can take care of your diabetes. If you put time aside to prepare and get advice from your doctor, then you can break from the regular routine and still control your blood glucose level. While having diabetes means paying extra attention to your health, it doesn't have to mean that you miss out on anything!

This is from NFL.com today:
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Wednesday that the Steelers are hoping to have Bell return in a month. This is not a surprise. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported in late August that Bell would likely miss around six weeks with a Lisfranc sprain in his foot.
Tomlin disputed the Lisfranc diagnosis publicly at first, but the Tribune-Review confirms Rapoport's original report on the issue. (Tomlin did not address Bell's situation on Tuesday.) Rapoport checked in on the situation on Wednesday and nothing has changed. Bell is only jogging at this stage, NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala noted a few days ago.

Reviewed by 3 customers
I read that ginger can help people with digestive issues so I bought these candies for a friend. I tried one and loved it! Since I don't care for gingerbread or other ginger products and I don't like candy, in general, I was very surprised to find I really love these Gin Gins. They aren't too sweet and they aren't too spicy - they're perfect. I will be a regular customer. Thank you!
I just love these little candies...with enough ginger spice to tickle my fancy! And, they're low in calories, too! So easy to carry in purse or pocket...to pop in your mouth no matter where you are!
Not only does this particular version of Gin-Gins ginger candy provide a sophisticated, spicy taste; it truly IS "the traveler's candy." Two pieces of this very strong-but-sweet ginger candy settled my stomach after a 2-hour, bumpy flight which foolishly included alcohol to boot. I really love this hard candy version and have not been able to find other retailers who carry it. Yes, some retailers stock the chewy version or the cocoa version but this "hard candy-double strength" version is so satisfying, I have no desire to continue down "sugar road" and over-consume rich deserts or other types of candy. Thanks World Market for carrying this great treat!

This is not just a highly capable digital SLR film camera, it also has some useful HD moving image filming capabilities. If you want to know more about who is using the 5D Mark II, this article is a good starter. However, the camera is not without some limitations and disappointments.
Now with the power of open source, there is a new software update that deals with some of the audio issues. "…code adds features that should have been in the software, like on-screen stereo audio meters, live audio monitoring, reduced audio noise and crop marks for different formats."
There's an introductory video available and an audio evaluation compares it to the stock firmware, with very good results. The Magic Lantern firmware is GPLed and new features will be written to make the camera even more useful on set. Find the wiki for documentation and deverlopment here.

Wakesurfing is a sport that was supposedly invented prior to wakeboarding however is just now enjoying revival amongst advocates of boating sports. Wakesurfing is precisely what it sounds like: an individual uses a "surfing" wakeboard to surf the waves produced by the wake of a boat.
The wakesurfer utilizes a tow rope to get into position behind the boat but doesn't begin surfing the wake until releasing the rope. Everything is done freestyle – much like an ocean surfer. The general mechanics and moves associated with riding a wake are the same as if an individual were riding an ocean wave.
Here are the standard things you need to understand to get started wakesurfing:
Find a quality wakesurfer. When surfers began tossing their 9 foot ocean longboards behind a boat and riding the wakes, the sport was started. They swiftly recognized that the brand-new sport they were inventing was something that they wanted to continue doing and began personalizing new and improved surf wakeboards particularly for wakesurfing.
Today's wakesurfing boards are a hybrid of a conventional shortboard and a wakeboard. Almost all major brands that manufacture wakeboards now bring a line of surfers as well.
Wakesurfing needs to be done behind an inboard ski boat – a ballasted wakeboat works best. The boat should be driven fairly slowly – it should not go over 9 to 14mph – as the rider is not connected to their board during towing. Throughout surfing, the natural surf of the water will certainly slow them down.
Get a rope designed for wakesurfing. Traditional wakeboarding ropes are thin and long. The thicker and shorter design of surf ropes makes the maneuvering necessary in wakesurfing much easier on the rider. Wakesurf ropes will certainly often have extra knots and grips throughout the rope so that the rider can make use of as much or as little of the rope as they really want when positioning themselves on the wake.
As mentioned previously, a ballasted ski watercraft is ideal for wakesurfing. Wakeboarding and wakesurfing companies produce weighted ballast bags specifically for the function of creating the perfect wake for a wakesurfer. The best technique for this function is to weigh down one side of the boat more than the other. This will create the ideal wake, much like you would see in the ocean along the coast.
Those are the basic necessities for wakesurfing. It may sound scarier than traditional boarding, it is really a much safer and lower impact option. The boat travels much slower than in other water sports and you are not being towed with the momentum of the boat for your entire trip. Get more information from Kevin at the Wakesurf Board Store Facebook page.
Many people involved in wakesurfing also are interested in trying wake skating, since the two sports are very similar. Wakeskates are typically smaller and squared at both ends. Although the skates do not have bindings, some riders wear shoes. The riding style is more like wakeboarding than wakesurfing, though it is more "freestyle" when it comes to tricks and stunts. Volume Wakeskate has a wakeskating guide on their website.

Would You Dine on Insects to Save the Planet?
If it's late morning or mid-afternoon where you are, chances are that you've already had at least one fleeting thought about dinner tonight. You may be picturing a juicy steak, a tender pork roast or a golden, baked chicken. I doubt that many of you dream about a steaming plate of stink beetles, leeches or cave spiders.

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 Big SKY QouhtRY Chief Charlo Chief Koos ta ta h1 9m NEWSPAPER OF THE SAUSH. PEND d'OREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 10 NUMBER 22 FULL MOON OF THE BUTTERCUPS Official Tribal statement Tribes gearing up to document water rights here APRIL 1, 1982 The confusion and uncertainty being experienced by both Indian and non-Indian water users on the Flathead Reservation present real concerns which the Tribes intend to address as quickly and fairly as possible. Recent federal court opinions have held that Indian Tribes -- and not state governments - are the proper authorities to regulate the use of water within the boundaries of a reservation and have ruled that states do not have jurisdiction to adjudicate Indian water rights. ("Adjudicate" means to settle an issue by the decree of a judge.) The status of the law today is that Montana cannot validly implement its Water Use Act (Senate Bill 76) on the Flathead/Kootenai Reservation or any other reservation within the state. These cases recently decided by the 9th Circuit Apellate Court will undoubtedly be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, but there is no way of knowing whether the high court will grant or deny review, nor within what time frame a final determination can be expected. Both Indian and non-Indian water users are worried about adequately protecting existing rights and they want confirmation as to what government can be turned to for guidance in documenting their water uses. The Tribal government wants to make clear that all valid water claims on the Flathead Reservation will be honored and that the necessary steps are now underway to assure protection for all people living here. Although it is the Tribes' position not to mandate Tribal water regulation until the Supreme Court has ultimately spoken, we will begin to accept voluntary filings in the near future. The Tribal Council has recently established a Water Rights Office within the Earth Resources Division and that Water Office is headed by Clayton Matt, Water Administrator. The Tribes are developing a water rights record- ing system which is intended as the groundwork for a comprehensive water management plan in the future. Procedures and regulations for recording water uses with the Tribal Water Office are now in the drafting stage. A tentative implementation date of May 1, 1982, is contemplated. The public will be given adequate advance notice as to when the office will be fully operational. The following is an outline of information (similar to Montana's requirements) which water users should be gathering in the interim so as to facilitate the filing process when it begins: 1) the name and mailing address of the declarant; 2) the source or sources from (CONTINUED ON PACE 2) INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Introducing Earth Resources....................................Page 4 "Letters to the Editor"..........................................pQge £ Head Starts 1982 Circus.....................................Page 8&9 April Calendar...............................................Page 22 Tribal Council Minutes........................................Page 23

Michael Kors' Mad Men influence OCT 01 2008
Fashion designer Michael Kors based his 2008 fall collection in part on Mad Men. The maturity of dress on the show is part of what attracted him:
Aren't we ready for that again? For some maturity? I have to tell you, I am sick and tired of hair down to there and crotch-high hemlines. It's so obvious. For Fall I was really trying to bring back buttoned-up sexy -- think Grace Kelly. So cool, so poised. She never reveals a thing and you can't take your eyes off of her. I mean, watch "Rear Window." That's smart sexy; it's interesting sexy. And it's grown-up sexy. You want a tip on looking hot? Wear reading glasses and a fitted dress. Simple.
He's right about Grace Kelly. I watched Rear Window recently and she's something else in it.

Skid WheelsIf you haven't heard of skid wheels, don't be surprised. Many people new to the camping or RV-ing world are still learning how to fully outfit their new vehicle. One of the items you may just be hearing about is skid wheels. These small wheels are affixed to the back bumper of your RV or camper and are designed to keep your bumper from dragging or scraping if you encounter a curb that is too high or an angle that is too steep.
Which skid wheels are appropriate for your vehicle requires a bit of expertise. Camping World stocks a number of skid wheels which fit different types of RVs. Some will protect your hitch, others your bumper. They may require welding so consult with one of our customer service professionals when making your selections.
