Ambitious GHG Targets for California Drivers
On September 23, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced the adoption of ambitious, though aspirational, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets associated with the total miles traveled by California drivers. This is the latest step in the process of implementing Senate Bill 375, signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2008. The significant increase in stringency of the CARB target levels over recommendations made by Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) last May was surprising and although praised by some, has received significant criticism.
The law provides incentives, not mandates, for MPOs to use regional transportation strategies that encourage smart growth. Incentives for MPOs, which meet the GHG targets, can include easier access to federal funding and exemption from certain environmental review requirements. Although called 'precedent setting' by the media, it establishes growth policies considered similar to others that have already been implemented in California, and this law would not have a strong impact without stringent GHG reduction targets. SB 375 required CARB to set the targets, giving it the power to determine how seriously MPOs would have to invest in new development plans if they wish to take advantage of the incentives. Using 2005 as a baseline, the GHG emissions per capita reduction targets set by CARB for 2020 and 2035 were, respectively:
|2020 Target
|2035 Target
|San Diego Area
|Sacramento Region
|Bay Area Region
|Southern California
|San Joaquin Valley (to be revisited in 2012)
|Targets for the remaining six MPOs making up 5 percent of the population match or improve upon their current plans for 2020 and 2035
The targets CARB defined were more ambitious than what the largest MPOs recommended in May. For example, recommendations for the Bay Area were 5 percent per capita for 2020 and 5 percent for 2035 (the same to account for projected population growth, which would make higher targets more difficult to achieve in 2035). Critics complained that these targets were "hijacked" by environmentalists, as CARB did not provide an explanation for the increase.
While more stringent targets are a victory for champions of climate change policy, some Californians have claimed CARB's numbers as irresponsible because MPOs cannot afford to implement the plans needed to meet the targets. Given the state's budget deficit and lingering impacts from the global economic recession in 2008 and 2009, budget crises for transit agencies have resulted in decreased service and increased fares. To combat expected costs, CARB has promised to help seek out more state and federal funding, although CARB member and San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts is pessimistic about their chances. Business groups angrily predict that such funding will have to come from increased transportation taxes such as vehicle miles traveled fees, parking fees, and congestion pricing. Critics (Example 1, Example 2) also cite the prediction by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) of San Francisco that gas would reach a cost of $9.07 per gallon if there were a carbon or 'vehicle miles traveled' (VMT) tax.
CARB could address these concerns by clarifying the rationale for its decision and exposing half-truths propagated by some of its critics. For example, whether or not targets are too ambitious, SB 375 requires CARB to review them regularly and consider revisions based on economic and demographic conditions, as well as actual results achieved. The critics' references to the MTC's $9.07 per gallon gas are disingenuous warnings. The MTC's gas price forecast is actually for 2035, not the immediate future, and the MTC considers a carbon or VMT tax as just one of multiple policy options. Only when this tax is added to the MTC's unlikely forecast of gas prices (a linear extrapolation based on gas prices in 2008, the highest price ever, hitting $7.47 per gallon by 2035) does the cost of one gallon reach $9.07 in 2035. This forecast is significantly different from that of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which, as of 2010, expects a national average of $3.91 per gallon gas in 2035. In addition, sustainable development experts Calthorpe Associates' 'Vision California' study highlights attainable smart growth savings for Californians that would provide a significant boost to the economy. It quantifies savings, potentially achievable through SB 375, at $6,400 per year per household by 2050, among other significant opportunities.
While it is natural to be wary of the ambitious goals, California has previously defied naysayers and achieved ambitious policy goals at lower costs than initially predicted, as happened with Title 24 building energy efficiency standards in 1978. Furthermore, it is worth noting that SB 375 will remain intact no matter the fate of Proposition 23, which seeks to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act, Assembly Bill 32, in the upcoming elections. By providing incentive-based aggressive targets, MPOs now have greater reason to invest significantly in future transportation and land use plans. With such an investment, Californians can look forward to a more comfortable life with shorter commutes, reduced air pollution, and long-term economic growth.

Regulations Do Impose Costs – But So Does Not Regulating
Steve Seidel, vice president for policy analysis, co-wrote this post.
With the failure of the Senate to act on climate change legislation, the focus of attention now shifts to possible regulatory actions by EPA. The Supreme Court in 2007 made it clear that greenhouse gases (GHGs) are pollutants under the existing Clean Air Act (CAA), and the overwhelming scientific evidence (spelled out in great detail in the endangerment finding) demonstrates that such pollutants represent possible harm to public health and welfare.
Opposition to EPA action rests in part on concerns that any regulations will be excessively costly and burdensome to households and U.S. manufacturers. While it is certainly true that regulating GHGs will result in costs, it is also important to look at whether the economic benefits from those regulations will be greater than the costs they impose. In other words, will societal costs of allowing global GHG emissions to continue unabated (costs that will come in the form of impacts from rising sea levels, increased extreme weather including heat waves and droughts, among others) be greater than the costs of regulating those emissions responsibly?
This basic regulatory framework – that regulatory costs should be less than the resulting benefits – is codified in OMB review of all major federal regulations by both Republican and Democratic Administrations, has historically been applied to all EPA regulations, and would certainly be applied to any future regulations of GHGs.
So what have been the costs and benefits of past EPA regulations under the CAA historically? Congress required EPA to undertake a retrospective assessment of the costs and benefits of regulations under this statute. The conclusion of this retrospective review is that the CAA resulted in total benefits that are around $37 trillion, while total costs were $0.874 trillion (in 2010 dollars) – an astounding 40 to 1 benefit to cost ratio!
EPA has also produced a prospective assessment of the costs and benefits of the CAA – this time for the time period of 1990 through 2010. In this review, EPA estimated that the most likely benefit to cost ratio of the CAA for this period is 4 to 1. While a very strong and positive value, the ratio is substantially lower than the estimated benefits for the first 20 years of the CAA.
This is not unexpected – early gains are usually greater, and more cost effective, because simple or cheap remedies are the first to be applied in response to regulatory requirements. As those requirements become more stringent, creating additional benefits becomes more costly (from an economics perspective this is described as moving up the marginal cost curve).
How credible is EPA's assessment of its regulations? Alan Krupnick, formerly of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, has testified before Congress about the credibility of EPA's analyses: "Under the auspices of the agency's Science Advisory Board, both studies were scrutinized throughout the decade-long preparation by at least three expert committees of outside economists, air quality modelers, epidemiologists, and other health experts."
In addition to these EPA assessments, there have been a handful of quality external analyses of the costs and benefits of the CAA. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) found that the "major rules" from EPA's Office of Air resulted in total benefits between $145 and $218 billion annually, for the years between 1992 and 2002. This is compared to costs of between $22 and $25 billion over that same period. A study by researchers at MIT found total annual benefits rising from $50 billion in 1975 to $400 billion in 2000. This report accounts for the monetary benefits of avoided premature death differently than the EPA studies, and as a result reports lower values for the total benefits. A sum of the total discounted benefits yields a total benefit of $6.85 trillion from 1975 through 2000 – a figure still substantially greater than the EPA estimate for the costs of the regulations.
So how might this play out in terms of future regulations of GHGs? EPA's first GHG regulations were standards set for light duty vehicles (which it coordinated with the efficiency standards set by NHTSA). These standards are expected to lead to net benefits of between $0.5 and 1.2 billion dollars (discounted back to present values using 7 percent and 3 percent discount rates, respectively) without even including a social cost of carbon. If a value is assigned to the avoided GHG emissions associated with this regulation, the net present benefits are even greater!
If there is a lesson that can be drawn from these previous regulatory efforts it is that while regulations do impose real costs, EPA's actions under the CAA have consistently led to positive environmental and economic outcomes. By not regulating, we would have foregone these positive net benefits and incurred the social costs imposed by unabated pollution.
So the next time someone tells you that the costs of reducing air pollution are too high, ask them what would be the costs to society of not reducing those emissions.

Federal agencies announce plans to prepare for climate change
We've been tracking federal government efforts towards reducing our vulnerability and increasing our resiliency in the face of the potential impacts and risks from climate change. I continue to be impressed by the steps that many federal agencies are taking in this regard—a lot of work is going on to mainstream climate change adaptation.
Yesterday the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force released its report to the President. During the past year this task force—which includes about 20 different Federal agencies—worked on developing recommendations and guiding principles on a strategic approach to climate change adaptation. The Task Force's recommendations include: making sure that adaptation is a standard part of Agency planning (mainstreaming!), ensuring information about the impacts of climate change is accessible, and aligning federal efforts that cut across agency jurisdictions and missions.
A number of agencies have already gotten started on this. Two agencies within the Department of the Interior (DOI) released climate change strategies last month—the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service. These efforts build on DOI's overarching strategic response to climate change.
The Fish and Wildlife Service manages more than 150 million acres of wildlife refuges across the United States and has additional responsibilities related to the protection of fish populations, endangered species, and migratory birds. (Interesting side note: according to the Service, about 41 million people visit national wildlife refuges each year and their spending generates almost $1.7 billion in sales for regional economies.) The Service defines adaptation as "minimizing the impact of climate change on fish and wildlife through the application of cutting-edge science in managing species and habitats" and has made adaptation the centerpiece of its Strategic Plan.
Charged with preserving the natural and cultural heritage of our nation, adapting to climate change presents the National Park Service with many challenges. What should it do about the melting glaciers at Glacier National Park? Or the threats of flooding to historic Jamestown, VA (part of the Colonial National Historical Park)? The National Park Service's Climate Change Response Strategy details long- and short-term actions in three major areas: mitigation, adaptation, and public communication. Measures to tackle the adaptation piece include planning, promoting ecosystem resilience, preserving the nation's heritage, and protecting facilities and infrastructure.
Earlier this month, the EPA released its 2011-2015 Strategic Plan containing five strategic goals for advancing its environmental and human health missions, the first of which is "Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality." As part of its Strategy, the EPA recognizes that it "must adapt and plan for future changes in climate" and "incorporate the anticipated, unprecedented changes in climate into its programs and rules."
And just last week at the first White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) GreenGov Symposium there were three separate panels devoted to climate change adaptation. We heard presentations from the Army Corps of Engineers, CDC, CEQ, DOT, the Forest Service, HUD, OSTP, USDA, as well as a number of stakeholders including the state of Maryland, the Nature Conservancy, and the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA). All of which are very much engaged on the adaptation issue.
Finding it hard to keep track of all of these agencies and what they are up to? Don't worry – we'll be posting our newest adaptation report, Climate Change Adaptation: What Federal Agencies are Doing, to this site very soon.

The long-term impacts of "one-year" riders
Most Americans can recall from social studies class and Schoolhouse Rock that a bill becomes a law through a process of introduction, committee work, and votes in both chambers of Congress before being signed by the President. Yet in reality, Congress influences policy decisions and administrative actions in ways that are more complex and potentially less transparent.
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse over government. Congress passes annual appropriations bills that fund the various programs of the federal government, and the necessity for Congress to pass these bills every year makes them an attractive target to attach riders – legislative provisions not directly related to the bill at hand. Appropriations riders are added to a bill by a small number of Congressmen to avoid an open debate on the merits of a particular policy, relying instead on the political and practical necessity to pass the larger funding bill.
Several rider efforts have succeeded in prohibiting funding or delaying environmental programs, much as some are talking about doing to prevent EPA from implementing greenhouse gas regulation under the Clean Air Act. Unlike policy decisions set in authorizing legislation, funding restrictions only apply for the year of appropriations covered and must be renewed on an annual basis. Unfortunately, once the precedent is set, it is common for riders to reappear for multiple years, usually without an up-or-down vote on that specific policy decision.
When it comes to climate change, Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) took a bill that failed to gain any traction in the committee process and turned it into a barrier to productive climate work through the appropriations process. Reacting to the Kyoto Protocol, drafted in December 1997, Rep. Knollenberg introduced HR 3807, in May 1998, which would have prohibited the use of funds for "for rules, regulations, or programs designed to implement, or in contemplation of implementing, the Kyoto Protocol." A broad reading of the phrase "in contemplation of" would have stopped federal funds from being used for any work on climate change, even educational workshops. When the bill failed even to move out of the Republican controlled committee to which it was referred, Rep. Knollenberg turned to the appropriations process, where he attached the bill as a rider to the appropriations bill that included FY1999 funding for EPA. The same language was included in several appropriations bills. In addition to the EPA bill, it was also included the next year for FY2000 funding. As a result, Rep. Knollenberg was able to inhibit the Clinton Administration's climate change work without going through the regular process of enacting legislation.
Other environmental priorities have been the targets of appropriations riders and defunding efforts. These riders became popular shortly after the political upheaval of 1994, but the effects were often much longer lasting. Beginning in Fiscal Year 1996, a rider was attached annually to the transportation appropriations bill preventing increases in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard known as the "CAFE freeze rider." Like the proposed riders on greenhouse gas regulation, this rider was in reaction to an action by the Clinton Administration, in this case an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recurrence of this rider continued until Fiscal Year 2001 when the rider was dropped in favor of a study on raising CAFE standards, ultimately yielding to bipartisan support for new standards much later than initially anticipated.
Environmental advocates have also used riders to avoid open policy discussion and votes. One of the longest running annual appropriations riders was a prohibition on offshore oil and gas leasing off the East and West coasts and certain parts of Alaska. That rider was included in appropriations bills for 27 years, from 1981 to 2008, without ever being a stand-alone piece of legislation passed by Congress.
The lesson of these and the plethora of other riders included on appropriations bill every year is clear: these provisions have staying power. The inclusion of a one-year delay on greenhouse gas reductions could easily continue for two years – or even twenty. According to the scientific information available, we don't have the luxury of waiting that long to reduce our emissions. Instead, the United States should proceed with the prudent and reasonable series of regulations that have been outlined and are being implemented under existing law following the 2007 Supreme Court ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA.

A New Low for Arctic Sea Ice
There has been a lot of important climate news in recent weeks and months. In addition to record warmth, an unusually active Atlantic hurricane season, and a devastating string of extreme weather events in the U.S. and around the world, Arctic sea ice has reached a new low in its total volume.
The ice covering the Arctic Ocean goes through a seasonal cycle in which it expands during the winter, reaching its maximum extent in March, and shrinks during the summer, reaching its minimum extent in September. Satellites have been observing the daily coverage of sea ice since 1979, during which time the summer minimum has declined rapidly over the decades. In 2007, the summer minimum dropped by a startling amount compared to previous summers, generating an iconic graph that was splashed across blogs and newspapers around the world (Figure 1). This record still holds, although every year since 2007 has seen below-average summer minima.
According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), Arctic sea ice reached its minimum extent for 2010 on September 19 at 1.78 million square miles. Although this was the third-lowest extent behind 2007 and 2008, the sea ice set a new and probably more important record by reaching the lowest estimated volume – or total amount of sea ice – since satellite observations began in 1979.
Picturing an ice cube floating in a glass of water is a good comparison. The ice cube has three dimensions. But looking directly down at the glass, you see only the two dimensions that cover part of the surface of the water. When you look at the glass from the side, you can also see that the ice cube has depth, and that most of the ice is below the surface. The same phenomenon holds for sea ice, so if the ice melts from below, it becomes thinner and its total volume decreases.
This year, even though the area of the ocean's surface covered by ice was a little larger than in 2007, the ice was much thinner, making its total volume much less than in 2007 or any previous year since estimates began in 1979 (Figure 2).
The rapid decline in total ice volume is significant since it takes less heat to melt a small volume of ice than to melt a larger volume. The area of ice cover can recover in one season, as it did in 2009, but the thickness builds up over several years. Consequently, the low volume of ice currently in the Arctic is more susceptible to melting next summer and the summer after that than was the 2007 ice. Consequently, scientists are wondering whether the Arctic could become ice free during the summer much sooner than previously projected.
The opening of the Arctic has enormous implications, ranging from global climate disruption to national security issues to dramatic ecological changes. The Arctic may seem far removed from our daily lives, but changes there are likely to have serious global implications.
- An ice-free Arctic Ocean will absorb more sunlight and convert it to heat, thus amplifying warming.
- The Arctic currently removes CO2 from the atmosphere, but physical and biological changes in the Arctic could cause it to switch to releasing CO2 and CH4 (a very potent greenhouse gas) to the atmosphere, thus amplifying global warming.
- Atmospheric circulation and therefore precipitation and storm patterns may be altered by a warming Arctic and changes in how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere in the region.
- A warmer, ice-free Arctic Ocean with more freshwater from snow and ice melt could change global ocean circulation patterns, thus altering marine ecosystems (i.e. fisheries) around the world and changing patterns of precipitation and storms on a very broad scale.
- More rapid melting of ice on land will accelerate sea level rise and could destabilizing the Greenland Ice Sheet, leading to abrupt and massive sea level rise.
- Countries have begun to compete for access to untapped natural resources in the Arctic. Unlike other international arenas, such as Antarctica, coastal waterways, and space, there are no agreed international rules to govern how different countries will access and utilize the Arctic.

|Cute, Whimsical
What are you most proud of? Adding the pockets from the pants pattern. I am hoping to also add a front pocket if I can line it up properly so as to enhance the fabric.
That is great fabric! I like how you used it. Looks like a comfortable hoodie.
Very Nice! Did you use stretch stitch for the whole garment or just in some parts? IS your triple stretch stitch sign same as what the teacher decribed? I couldn't find the same sign that she recommended!
I did use the triple stretch for the whole thing, It takes a little longer because the stitch is quite slow even at full speed but the stretch it gives is worth it. I have a Janome machine so the icon for it is 3 dashed lines. I found it by testing out the stitches I didn't know, on a scrap, until I found it.
You've inspired me - I don't often wear hoodies so wasn't planning to make one, but yours is so cuddly and attractive any one would love to wear it! Thanks also for the triple-stitch tip.
This fabric looks great in the hoodie.

We are frustrated tabloid hacks with a common interest in red-hot monkey love and we wish to bring to you the stories that our editors dare not print. Read our profile page to find out more.
Celebrity Bestiality was published monthly from 1999 until 2003. Then, after a suggestion made at a somewhat regrettable social gathering, we went away to have a good, long, hard look at ourselves. Now we're back.
The latest article always appears on the front page. All past articles are accessible via the main archive.
Of course you may send us email. We'd love to hear from you. Just no spam, please:
It has recently come to our attention that the majority of visitors to our site come for the simple and shameful gratification of seeing pictures of celebrities with animals.
Some have even gone so far as to suggest that we forgo the articles and simply post the images into a gallery with an easy-to-use one-handed navigation tool.
But what about journalistic integrity? What about the truth?
Do you actually care that Hollywood is rotten to the core with bestial activity, or do you simply want to see photos of celebrities in questionable poses with dogs, horses, dolphins, llamas and monkeys?
OK, fine - have it your way.
Here's a picture of Anna Kournikova with Genie, her Limited Edition Bonsai Doberman-Pinscher. Does this excite you? Are you happy now?
Because we could write any silly old garbage and it wouldn't make a lick of difference to you, this month we didn't even bother doing any research into the allegations that Anna purchased this titch of a beast because he was easy to smuggle into locker rooms before big matches.
Personally we found the choice a little strange (we wondered things like, 'if this is her choice of dog, is her ideal man Mini-Me?' and 'maybe she got an economy-sized model because full-on dog sex can really throw you off your stride') but we know that you couldn't care less. You're too busy thinking up a scenario involving Anna, Genie and a 3-foot stepladder.
Shame on you.

As part of the Mets' wide-ranging search for a bench coach, former Washington Nationals manager Jim Riggleman will travel to New York to interview for the position Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because the meeting had not been announced publicly.
Last week, manager Terry Collins reached out informally to discuss the opening with Riggleman.
Riggleman is interested in returning to a big-league dugout after spending the second half of this season as a scout with San Francisco. In June, Riggleman resigned abruptly from his post with the Nationals over a contract dispute.
After firing bench coach Ken Oberkfell last week, part of a coaching staff shake-up which saw only hitting coach Dave Hudgens and pitching coach Dan Warthen retained, the Mets indicated they wanted a bench coach with major-league experience. Riggleman, 58, has managed the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners and Nationals.
An ESPN New York report last week tabbed Riggleman, former Oakland Athletics manager Bob Geren, former Seattle manager John McLaren and Larry Bowa, the former manager of Philadelphia and San Diego, as candidates.
A person with knowledge of the situation, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the search, indicated last week that Bowa's name had "not come up" in discussions, but cautioned that this was early in the process.
The team is also looking for a first-base coach to replace Mookie Wilson. Former Triple-A manager Tim Teufel replaced Chip Hale as the third-base coach, and Triple-A pitching coach Ricky Bones replaced Jon Debus in the bullpen.

On a fundamental level of plot, "Pacific Rim" sounds like a nine-year-old's dream movie of monsters versus robots. For adults, it sounds enough like "Transformers" to quickly deflate any initial interest you might have had in it.
But on the screen, "Pacific Rim" is an old-fashioned action movie writ large in 21st-century fashion, a visual and technological marvel infused with familiar story arcs and characters, and enough novelty and genre-mixing to become the most fun blockbuster of the summer.
The plot concerns human civilization's resistance against giant monsters, called Kaijus, that have emerged from an interdimensional tunnel at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The world's population has set aside their differences to combat their common enemy by creating colossal robots, called Jaegers, that are operated by two pilots.
Article Photos
This film image shows Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Becket in a scene from "Pacific Rim."
The way the pilots work together to control the Jaegers reflects the movie's moral center of teamwork and learning to understand your fellow human being as a way to ensure Earth's future.
Inside a Jaeger cockpit, two pilots enter what is called The Drift, in which their minds become one, sharing memories and synchronizing their physical movements. Early in the life of the Jaeger program, it was discovered that a single person couldn't sustain the physical and neurological strain of operating one alone. If two pilots aren't "Drift compatible," they run the risk of a malfunctioning Jaeger, which may have a dire outcome, considering their destructive potential.
In one scene, a first-time pilot gets lost in one of her own memories as she Drifts with her copilot, both of them revisiting a traumatic moment in her past. As she does so, she inadvertently activates the Jaeger's cannon function, almost blowing the hangar to pieces, when such an attack is better suited in a battle against a Kaiju.
The fight scenes between the Kaijus and Jaegers are wildly entertaining, and visually dazzling. The giants move as if they abide by real laws of physics, with slow, lumbering punches and takedowns that give emotional and literal weight to each scene.
At one point of genuine grandeur, a Jaeger wields a naval vessel as a weapon and pummels his Kaiju foe to the ground with it.
But grandeur isn't exclusive to the fight scenes. Each frame of the movie is full, bustling with life with rich characters and detailed sets depicting a gritty future that feels lived-in without sacrificing a sense of promise. The movie's color palette is sumptuous, and has the overly-saturated pop of a Japanese anime, a clear influence on director Guillermo del Toro, who understands genre better than most. All at once, "Pacific Rim" is a martial arts movie, a science-fiction film, a disaster movie, and a drama whose characters have clear and believable motivations. Each character is haunted by their past, sometimes paralyzed by it. If they want to move on, they have to see the world through each other's eyes, to understand that no one is alone in fighting their own internal monsters, or the Kaiju behemoths that threaten all of humanity.
In this sense, "Pacific Rim" is about empathy itself.

Whale That Inspired 'Baby Beluga' Song Dies
Originally posted 08/10/2012 06:45AM
After experiencing a sudden decline in her health, Kavna, a 46-year-old beluga whale residing at Vancouver Aquarium, died on Monday, with a necropsy later showing cancerous lesions.
The whale served as the inspiration for the children's song "Baby Beluga," about an imaginary whale that swims wild and free in the ocean. The song was penned by Canadian artist Raffi Cavoukian after he met Kavna in 1979.
"She had a profound impact on me," he told Canadian radio station News 1130. "[Kavna] came out of the water and placed a gentle, graceful kiss on my cheek and I couldn't stop talking about it for a couple of weeks! That encounter inspired the song "Baby Beluga," and as I like to say, the song set the whale free."

No more 'unintended consequences' as Enda faces hard road ahead
Published 18/06/2014 | 02:30
The Taoiseach is reputed to be in bad form. Enda Kenny has had a run of misfortunes over the past seven months and there's no sign he's going to catch a break anytime soon.
Launching a comeback from the local elections, the Cabinet reshuffle and building a relationship with the new Labour Party leadership regime lies ahead.
The looming decisions are weighing very heavily on him and are beginning to show. It's not as if the Taoiseach can turn to his deputy leader in Fine Gael for some support.
Dr James Reilly has been more trouble than he's worth over the past three years.
The latest catastrophe around the medical cards was a major factor in the local elections' drubbing for Fine Gael and Labour.
Yesterday, the Health Minister announced a climbdown on the medical cards controversy. Around 15,300 people who were stripped of their cards will have their entitlements restored over the next weeks.
Dr Reilly was flanked only by his officials as he made the announcement.
No Taoiseach, no Tanaiste, no junior ministers, no backbenchers. Just Reilly.
He had the good sense to apologise for the "unintended consequence" of people suffering from his handling of the affair.
The perceived wisdom is Dr Reilly cannot survive the reshuffle in his current position. His status as deputy leader of Fine Gael possibly means he'll have to be retained in Cabinet. But keeping him as Health Minister would be an enormous gamble.
The Health Minister acknowledged it was up to the Taoiseach to decide what to do with him.
"My fate as a Minister of Health or any ministry is in the gift of the Taoiseach. He has to do what he feels is the right thing," he said.
The right thing would be to shore up an area that has proven troublesome.
Coming into the run-in to the next general election, Mr Kenny can't afford any more "unintended consequences" from the Health Minister.

The city conducted 26 "Clean Sweeps" in 2012, the most in a single year, Mayor Byron W. Brown said last week.
The events target troubled neighborhoods in a single day, when crews from City Hall converge unexpectedly on a city block, bringing law enforcement, animal control, forestry workers and public works employees to clean up the area. Health and human service agencies also take part, distributing dental kits and telling people how to apply for food stamps and health insurance.
The city baited 3,100 properties for rodents, pruned 1,068 trees, mowed 650 lots and removed 118 tons of debris during the cleanups. The city chooses areas to visit by using data from quality-of-life complaints.

The homicide unit's commander Sgt. Dale Phillips said that on April 14, the Tuscaloosa Police Department found a unconscious man, who was naked from the waist down, lying in a parking lot, bleeding from his ears.
The victim suffered severe injuries to his head and brain while he was being robbed by a previously unidentified man, investigators said, and spent three weeks on life support in the intensive care unit of DCH Regional Medical Center.
Phillips said the victim is still recovering from his injuries but was able to go to the Tuscaloosa County Jail and identify his assailant as Alexius Foster, who was already being held for his suspected role in the disappearance of Antonio Williams, a Tuscaloosa man who was been missing since July.
Investigators suspected Foster was the man behind the disappearance and arrested him in late July. He has since been charged with murder in the case. Williams' remains were found by hunters Saturday and positively identified Thursday.
The first degree robbery charge stacks an additional $60,000 onto Foster's bond, which was set at $1 million for his role in the the suspected murder of Williams in July.

The adult birds use the Tate chimney and occassionally let the kids join them.
Image: Graham Catley
The RSPB's London Team is back on the riverside forecourt of the Tate Modern to showcase the gallery's peregrine falcons.
The birds' nest nearby but use the Tate's iconic 100 metre tall chimney as a daytime roost.
Powerful telescopes offering visitors free close-up views of the birds of prey will be available, with staff and volunteers on hand to tell more about the falcons.
They're the world's fastest living creatures, capable of diving on prey at two-hundred miles an hour.
RSPB Senior Events Officer Lyndon Parker says: "Imagine a one litre bottle of water hitting you at a hundred to two-hundred miles an hour and you'll get an idea of how a peregrine falcon catches its dinner - mid-flight. Less of a bird and more of a flying brick. Peregrines are incredible birds built for speed and with strong talons to keep hold of lunch."
The Tate pair is believed to be the first to re-colonise London after peregrines vanished from the Capital in the last Century. Since this pair, named Misty and Bert, arrived in 2003, pairs of peregrines have increased and we now have more than twenty pairs living wild in London.
The RSPB will be set-up next to the Millennium foot bridge from 16 July to 11 of September, daily from Noon until 7 pm.

Reading, UK - 13 November 2012 - LogiXML, the pioneer of web-based business intelligence (BI), today announced that after a wide examination of the market, the Stroke Association, the UK's major stroke charity, has chosen LogiXML to give deeper and faster insight and analysis to connect performance goals and outcomes as it works towards its 2015 strategy.
The investment in LogiXML will eliminate days of manual effort currently required to produce the Stroke Association's Balanced Scorecard, which is used by the organisation's board to monitor and manage performance. The scorecard takes data from 40 different internal and external data feeds in a range of structured and unstructured formats. The new reporting platform will show why things have happened as senior decision makers can drill down into source data and, by speeding up the reporting process, the organisation will be able to base decisions on better quality and more timely information. The pricing model of the new platform also allows the Stroke Association to pursue its vision of wider access to performance information, as an increase in user numbers will not mean an increase in cost.
Paul Hughes, Head of IT, Stroke Association explained: "We chose LogiXML, primarily, because its data structure allows us to access any type of data source quickly, without the need to build complex data models. Breaking data out of its existing silos will allow us to understand elements of our performance that were not visible before, and spark new ideas of how to support more people. We also wanted a reporting and analytics platform that would allow us to be completely self-sufficient as we anticipate that, once people get excited about the analysis potential LogiXML gives us, we will see an increased demand for more reports from more users."
"LogiXML provides IT professionals with the fastest way to create BI applications, deploy scalable dashboards and reports, and embed analytics into existing applications – all for a fraction of the cost of other solutions," said Simon Ryan, Director of EMEA, LogiXML. "In addition to this, the Stroke Association will discover the versatility of our technology and find it solves issues way beyond the original intent, right across the organisation."
In 2011 and 2012, LogiXML was positioned in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, where its products ranked among the highest for ease of use, overall product functionality, support, product quality, performance, and customer experience.

This is the first year that the district's transportation department has held the contest. During the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) testing week, HISD's four transportation terminals competed for best attendance.
"We had a competition at all four of our locations to try to boost the driver attendance so we can make sure we get the students to and from [school] on time," said Tesha Foster, HISD's senior manager for transportation terminal and safety. "The result of that is a pizza party we're having to celebrate them coming to work, and making sure that they understand how important their role is in the students' success by getting students on time to the campus."
District officials said that in the end, all four terminals had "extremely high attendance percentages" during STAAR week. The central terminal had the highest percentage and received a plaque of appreciation.
HISD bus driver Barbara Arceneaux, who refers to her riders as her "babies," said she was excited and enjoyed the contest.
"This was really fun for the kids, motivating them to come to school to get ready for the STAAR test," Arceneaux said.
Byron Williams, training support manager for transportation services, added that the contest aimed to "try to get all drivers to come to work and understand the importance of testing. So what we did was challenged them."
