Carbon Dioxide and Agricultural Yield: An Assemblage and Analysis of 430 Prior Observations1
- B. A. Kimball2
The probable effect of the increasing global atmospheric CO2 concentration on agricultural yields was evaluated. More than 430 observations of the yield of 37 species grown with CO2 enrichment were extracted from more than 70 reports published during the past 64 years. Most of the studies were performed in greenhouses or growth chambers. Open fields might respond less than greenhouses or growth chambers to increased CO2 because nutrient levels in general world-wide agriculture are lower than those in the indoor studies, or open fields might respond more because light levels are generally higher outside. The data also were dominated by high value crops, but results should be applicable to the three-fourths of the world agriculture represented by the C3 crops and possibly to the remaining C4 crops as well. Keeping these limitations of the data in mind, the analysis showed that yields probably will increase by 33% (with a 99.9% confidence interval from 24 to 43%) with a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- The photos of the estimated 2.5 million Muslims who converged on Islam's holiest sites this week for Hajj always show the concentric rings of white-clad pilgrims circling the Ka'aba, the black-stone structure built by Abraham and his son Ishmael.
The prayers in the Great Mosque and the other rituals of Hajj are important. But for Hajji Wali Alam, who has been religious secretary for Huntsville Islamic Center, and for other Muslims, the heart of Hajj is the day when the pilgrims fill the sandy plain stretching in front of Mt. Arafat, the Mountain of Mercy.
"You are there in a huge desert," Alam said, evoking the expanse by spreading his arms in both directions as children celebrating the special day played tag through the throngs of worshipers after prayers at the Huntsville Islamic Center Tuesday morning.
"You are there to pray, to ask for forgiveness," Alam said. "There are millions of people there, but you are there with God. Everybody is equal - you are the same: rich, poor, black, white - all in the presence of God."
Alam has made the trip three times, twice during the official days of Hajj, which ended Tuesday with Eid al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice. The sacrifice recalls Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son at God's command (The Quran says this was Ishmael), and God's substitution of a ram for the boy.
In honor of that, pilgrims will have an animal slaughtered at the end of Hajj and the meat donated to the hungry. Around the world Muslims who cannot
participate on the literal Hajj continue the tradition of making donations to local food banks and others in need. The Huntsville Islamic Center sends trays of traditional Middle Eastern sweets to local elected officials, media offices and colleges.
Anyone who has made the official pilgrimage, required of every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it at least once, is entitled to use the title of Hajji, for men, and Hajja for women.
The title reminds the pilgrim of everything they are to learn on Hajj: The travails of Abraham, the mercy of God, and the equality of the ummah, the congregation of Muslims from around the world.
"It was very spiritual, despite all those people," said Hajja Khowla Seljuki, former principal of the Islamic Academy of Huntsville, who went on Hajj with her entire family when she was a teenager.
"It is really special this time of year to remember the days of Hajj," Khowla said. "You feel very connected to God. You forget everything of this world, and you are there with God. There is no up and down."
"Hajj does change your life."

In September, Senators questioned whether Google had too much power. Lawmakers got a taste of just how much power Google can wield yesterday.
Blacking out its logo and urging its users to "Tell Congress: Please don't censor the web!" Google added 4.5 million names to a petition opposing controversial anti-piracy bills SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act), the Los Angeles Times reported. (UPDATE: Google has updated this number to "more than 7 million" people in the U.S. who have signed the petition.)
The petition, which is still available via Google's End Piracy, Not Liberty website, warned the millions who visit Google every day how the two anti-piracy bills would result in censorship and hurt American businesses: "Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late."
The 4.5 million people who signed Google's petition is in addition to the more than 3 million people who had already signed petitions opposing SOPA, according to Google's "Congress, Can You Hear Us?" graphic on the website.
In addition to Google, here are some other stats the LA Times reported out of the mass online protest yesterday:
- 1.458 million people signed a similar petition to Google's at Avaaz.org.
- Fight for the Future reported "at least 350,000 people have sent emails to representatives in the House and Senate".
- More than 103,000 people signed petitions through the We the People website
- 25,000 WordPress blogs blacked out their blogs, while another 12,500 added a "Stop Censorship" ribbon.
Meanwhile, Twitter reported there were more than 2.4 million SOPA-related tweets between midnight and 4 p.m. yesterday. The top five terms were: SOPA, Stop SOPA, PIPA, and Tell Congress, and #factswithoutwikipedia.
Elsewhere, MC Hammer, the former rapper and man behind the forthcoming "deep search engine" WireDoo, spoke an anti-SOPA rally yesterday in San Francisco.
"We don't want people who spend their days legislating trying to control creativity," Hammer said, according to a WSJ report. "I speak on behalf of a lot of artists … who would like to be able to continue to utilize the valuable tools that the Internet has brought."
Today, support for the bills seems to be eroding, and Bloomberg credits Google in part for "changing the legislative debate in Washington." However, a visit to Wikipedia is a good reminder: "We're not done yet."
"SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows," reads a message on Wikipedia's site, which also noted that 162 million visitors yesterday saw their anti-SOPA message. "What's happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The Internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you've directed your energy to protecting it."

JACKSON, MI – Her daughter, a new mother, was the only innocent victim, she said.
Icy James, 18, is gone and the person Denise James believes is responsible is guilty of a misdemeanor.
"John Rick walked; he got away with it," Denise James of Grass Lake said Thursday after jurors found Rick, 19, not guilty of reckless driving causing the deaths of Icy James and her boyfriend, Dylan Briningstool, 20.
Convictions on the felony counts might have put him in prison.
"I am not happy, not by any means," said Denise James, who is raising Icy James' son, Carter, now 1.
Jurors instead convicted Rick of two lesser counts of reckless driving, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a fine of not more than $500.
Denise James did not deem the result just.
The March 25 crash wrecked her life, she said. "I was hoping this would be a step forward, and I just got kicked back a mile."
Rick's lawyer, Michael Falahee, argued Briningstool was grossly negligent, which relieved Rick of criminal liability in the deaths.
Efforts to speak with members of Briningstool's family Thursday night were not successful.
Rick, when reached by phone, declined comment.
Both Rick and Briningstool were driving about 100 mph on Mount Hope Road. The vehicles were side-by-side. Briningstool, in a Chevrolet Aveo, was heading north in the southbound lane and Rick, in a Pontiac Grand Prix, was in the northbound lane.
Briningstool's brother, Aaron, testified Dylan Briningstool spotted lights ahead, he tried to move back into the northbound lane, and the Aveo hit the Grand Prix.
In the seven seconds before the airbags in the Grand Prix were deployed, Rick increased his speed from 99 mph to 102 mph, according to evidence presented at trial.
Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mark Blumer argued Rick prevented Briningstool from moving back into the lane.
He suggested Rick, who said he did not see the lights, tagged or tapped the Aveo with the Grand Prix.
"Yeah, Dylan was in the wrong, definitely," Denise James said. "He played a role in it, but it was proven by the state police and the prosecuting attorney that John Rick was at fault."
Icy James was a passenger in the Aveo.
"This wasn't Icy's choice. This was someone else's choice," Denise James said, clearly becoming overcome with emotion.
"(Icy) was the only freaking victim here that was innocent, you know what I am saying?"
Denise James would have liked the jury to know Icy James was a mother, a fact that did not come up during the trial.
Icy James' son, whose father is not Dylan Briningstool, was only 3 months old when his mother died.
Starting to take steps and talk, he is now living with his grandmother and grandfather, Icy James' dad, Tom.
"I come home and grabbed him and held him as hard as I could because I feel so bad for him," Denise James said of Carter.
"I am never going to let him go, but I hurt for him."

Governor Bob Riley could be running out the clock on his last year in office. He could be going through the motions, saying all the right things, feeling the pain of the unemployed and turning a blind eye to what has become his pet peeve: Illegal gambling.
Riley could be running a victory lap in his last term of office and cementing his legacy as one of the most productive and popular governors in Alabama history.
But noooo. The governor finds himself boiling in Alabama's hottest issue: Gambling. Or bingo.
Depends on how you see it.
It all came to a head Wednesday on the statehouse steps, when an angry crowd of newly-unemployed bingo protesters met a throng of anti-gambling Riley supporters. It wasn't pretty.
Is Brother Bob like the frog who was placed in a pot of cold water that was gradually turned up to the boiling point? Or did the temperature rise because Riley jumped in? Either way, the governor is in the middle of a boiling hot controversy.
And for better or worse, he is soaking it in. Boots 'n all.

This information sheet
provides general guidelines for the installation of Novalis Luxury Tile and
Plank (LTP). All recommendations are
based on the most recent available information. Please follow these instructions and recommendations for a
satisfactory installation of Novalis Luxury Vinyl Tile and Plank.
The floor covering, adhesive,
and room temperature must be kept at a minimum temperature of 70¡ãF or warmer
for at least 48 hours before, during, and 48 hours after installation. Install
Novalis LTP only after the jobsite has been cleaned and cleared of other trade
apparatus that may damage a finished tile installation. Always check the
cartons to assure the pattern number is correct and that the shade and lot
numbers are the same on all cartons. To minimize shade variation, mix and
install tiles from several different cartons.
All subfloor / underlayment patching must be done with a non-shrinking
water resistant Portland cement patching compound. Never install Novalis LTP over residual asphalt-type (cut back)
adhesive. It can bleed through the new floor covering. Residual asphalt type
adhesive must be covered with underlayment plywood. Novalis LTP is to be
adhered with Novalis LTP Adhesive.
Novalis LTP is manufactured to high quality standards and is carefully inspected prior to leaving our facility. Occasionally, however, defects are not detected. If you notice a visible defect with the tiles you are installing, stop the installation and contact your local distributor for assistance.
Careful and correct
preparation of the subfloor is a major part of a satisfactory floor covering
installation. Roughness or unevenness
of the subfloor will telegraph through the new floor covering, resulting in an unsightly
surface and excessive wear on high spots. Proper subfloor preparation and
suitable underlayment installation are essential for a trouble-free job.
• Be dimensionally stable
• Have a smooth, fully sanded face so the graining or texturing will not show through
• Be resistant to both static and impact indentation
• Be free of any surface components that may cause staining such as plastic fillers, marking inks, sealers, etc.
• Be of uniform density, porosity and thickness
• Have a written warranty for suitability and performance from the panel manufacturer or have a history of proven performance
Concrete subfloors must be
dry, smooth, and free from dust, solvent, paint, wax, grease, oil, asphalt
sealing compounds and other extraneous materials. The surface must be hard and
dense, and free from powder or flaking.
New concrete slabs must be thoroughly dry (at least six weeks) and
completely cured. Curing agents, surface hardeners and other additives may
cause adhesive bonding failure. These should be removed by sanding or
grinding. All concrete slabs must be
checked for moisture and alkalinity before installing material. The final
responsibility for determining if the concrete is dry enough for installation
of the flooring lies with the floor covering installer.
Novalis LTP must never be installed where moisture emissions may exist. Moisture emission from subfloor cannot exceed 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. per 24 hours as measured with the calcium chloride test. Novalis will not assume responsibility for floor covering failure due to hydrostatic pressure or moisture vapor emission. Holes, grooves, expansion joints and other depressions must be filled with a latex underlayment compound, and toweled smooth and feathered even with the surrounding surface. Concrete floors with a radiant heating system are not satisfactory.
To achieve maximum product performance, Novalis LTP should not be installed over existing resilient floor coverings. In the rare cases where removal of the existing resilient floor covering is not an option, the existing flooring must be covered a latex underlayment compound or an embossing leveler compound.
Do not sand, dry scrape, bead blast or mechanically pulverize existing resilient flooring, backing or lining felt. These products may contain asbestos fibers that are not readily identifiable. Using the above non-recommended procedures on asbestos-containing material can create asbestos dust. The inhalation of asbestos dust may cause asbestos or other serious bodily harm. Smoking greatly increases the risk of serious bodily harm.
Only Novalis LTP adhesive is required for adhering Novalis LTP to all approved substrates. Apply the adhesive with a 1/16¡± wide, 1/16¡± deep, 1/16¡± apart square notched trowel. Begin applying adhesive at the intersection of the chalk lines, spread either one quadrant or one half of the work area depending on the size of the room.
Wet Set (All Planks): Apply Novalis LTP Adhesive with specified trowel in a thin, uniform, and even coat. Each section must be no larger than an area that can easily be covered with flooring in approximately 20 minutes. Allow a few minutes open time for adhesive to tack up, then install tiles immediately while adhesive is still wet, before it skins over or dries. Adhesive working time is approximately 20 minutes under normal conditions (70 degrees F, 40% humidity). Position tile firmly in adhesive without sliding; and periodically check to assure at least 90% of the adhesive pattern has been transferred to the back of the tile.
Dry Set (All Tiles): Apply Novalis LPT Adhesive with specified trowel in a thin, uniform, and even coat. Allow adhesive to dry until it changes color, and will not transfer to finger when touched. When dry, adhesive is extremely tacky. Lay tile into dry adhesive positioning carefully because it will be difficult to slide the tile.
Tile and Plank: Roll each section immediately upon completing with a 100 pound three section roller. Re-roll the entire floor after one or two hours
After the Novalis LPT adhesive has had sufficient open time, begin laying the tile at the intersection of the working lines. Be certain this tile is installed squarely on the lines. After the first tile is in place, begin laying tiles outward along both guide lines. Press tiles firmly against adjoining tiles and press into the adhesive. Begin stair-stepping the tiles into the field area. Maintain the squareness of the installation by keeping tiles along guide lines. Lay all tiles in the same direction, all directional arrows pointing in the same direction.
Novalis LTP can be cut with a large tile cutter or by using the score and snap technique. Direct or pattern scribe the tiles to fit into complicated, irregular walls or pipes, etc.

As part of a demonstration sponsored by the California Energy Commission in support of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group's data center summit, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) collaborated with APC by Schneider Electric to demonstrate a novel prototype data center cooling device. The device was installed at an LBNL data center in Berkeley, California.
It included two air-to-water heat exchangers -- unlike common single-heat-exchanger configurations -- one of them supplied with cooling-tower water. The other heat exchanger was connected to the building's chilled-water supply, like it would be in a typical single-heat-exchanger system. It was discovered that using cooling water supplied by the cooling tower to the maximum extent possible before using the chilled-water supply can in some situations cut the amount of energy used by cooling infrastructure by about 50%.
Tower water use maximized
This system is different from conventional closed water-cooled devices (cooling one or two racks as an enclosed unit) or open (placed between a hot and cold aisle) and deployed in a row of IT equipment racks. Conventional data center cooling devices, supplied by companies like Rittal, HP and Emerson, transfer heat from the hot air originating from the IT equipment to water supplied by the building's chilled water using one heat exchanger.
Chilled-water supply temperatures are usually near 45F because, in many cases, needs other than data center cooling must be accommodated. In many situations, data center cooling requirements can be met using much warmer water (for example 66F), which is especially true if the ASHRAE recommended IT equipment air inlet temperature of 80.6F is used.
The required cooling capacity using warmer water can be produced much more economically if supplied directly from the cooling-tower/treated loop, compared to the same cooling capacity provided by the building's chilled-water system. Fortunately, cooling water from a cooling tower is often available nearby, requiring only a simple plumbing addition to route it inside the data center. Depending on the data center's design, the cost of this plumbing modification may be a key consideration.
The net result of using this technology is to transfer the heat from your IT equipment to the outside environment using tower water to the maximum extent possible. This technology minimizes the use of compressor-based cooling that may or may not be needed in a few areas inside a given data center. This can be thought of as a spot water-side economizer that uses tower/treated water most (if not all) of the time, and chilled water only when needed.
The design
The target application for this APC InRow prototype design is deployment on the data center floor, interspersed between racks of IT equipment. The number of cooling units needed depends on heat density of nearby racks. The cooler prototype design is constructed with a set of fans that pulls air through two air-to-water heat exchangers in a series configuration.
The heat exchangers are configured such that air from the hot aisle enters the first heat exchanger, exits and enters the second heat exchanger. All the air flows through both heat exchangers as indicated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: InRow cooler prototype dual heat exchanger design schematic
The first heat exchanger is supplied by water from a cooling tower, provided in a separate treated loop after going through a plate-frame heat exchanger. In this prototype, water flow rate through the first (tower water) heat exchanger was not controlled and allowed to flow at approximately 25 gallons per minute for most of the tests.
The second heat exchanger had water supplied by a compressor-based chilled water process that is part of the larger building heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. The cooling water flow rate through the second heat exchanger was controlled by a control system supplied as part of the prototype device to obtain desired server air inlet temperatures.
The InRow cooler control system monitors environmental conditions of the InRow cooler entering and leaving air along with the temperature of the air entering IT equipment nearby to provide the required temperature and airflow rate going to the cold aisle. The embedded control system accomplishes this by adjusting fan speed and modulating valve that sets the chilled water flow rate through the second heat exchanger.
Approach to analysis
The prototype unit was installed in a row of IT equipment racks in a data center on the LBNL campus. The initial hot aisle/cold aisle airflow containment was improved to raise the temperature of the air supplied to the prototype cooling device by adding some plastic curtains on both ends of the hot aisle.
A Btu meter was installed on each heat exchanger and connected to the local Modbus for data recording. Each Btu meter provided the water flow rate along with entering and exiting water temperatures. This provided a heat transfer rate for each heat exchanger as a function of time.
An electrical power meter was installed and also connected to the Modbus network to provide data on the device's energy use. The air temperatures entering and exiting the device were recorded using a SynapSense wireless network and recorded on the existing LBNL SynapSense system database.
A series of experiments were completed while varying water flow rates on each heat exchanger and fan speed selection. Nearby IT equipment power varied over time as part of a normal course of events, which provided some variability of heat load presented to the cooling device.
In order to assess performance for the other conditions, an equation for cross-flow heat exchangers with one fluid mixed (air) and one fluid unmixed (water) was fitted to the recorded data. The resulting equation provided a closed-form solution for obtaining an estimate of heat transfer rate as a function of fluid flow rates and fluid inlet temperature combinations that were not recorded during the demonstration, allowing analysis for a wide range of conditions.
The volumetric air flow rate for each of the five fan speed settings was estimated using a heat balance method that solved for flow rate as a function of entering and exiting air temperatures and heat transfer rate.
For the analysis, server thermal performance was fixed at 100 cfm per kW of IT equipment power. This constrains server airflow rate as a function of different IT equipment power levels. A tower water temperature of 68F and chilled water temperature of 45F was used.
Using a range of IT equipment power, various cooling water flow rates and air flow rates. performance for a number of typical data center configurations was studied.
The metric used for comparison was Partial Power Usage Effectiveness (pPUE) as defined by The Green Grid. It was used for comparison of IT equipment power and cooling effectiveness.
The results
Energy efficiency of the intended configuration for this InRow cooler prototype was investigated using the partial pPUE and then compared to conventional configurations.
Energy use components included in the pPUE analysis included the power consumed by a chilled water plant equipped with water-side economizing and the power consumed by the prototype InRow cooling device. The energy consumed by the chilled water plant was obtained using a model provided by Taylor Engineering that used San Jose, California, climate information.
Results for other installations may vary from those presented here, depending in part on climate information used. For example, climates with high wet bulb temperatures will have fewer hours when the tower water can be supplied at 68F.
In Figure 2, the results for a conventional single heat exchanger design using tower water is represented by the line indicated as Case 2. Case 2 indicates that a single heat exchanger design has better efficiency at lower cooling capacities.
Currently, the most common configuration uses building-supplied cooling water from a chilled water plant supplying a cooling device design that has a single heat exchanger. This configuration is indicated by the line labeled as Case 3 in Figure 2.
The temperature of the building supplied chilled water used for the analysis was 45F. If Case 3 (single heat exchanger - chilled water supplied) is compared to Case 2 (single heat exchanger - tower water supplied) a large efficiency difference occurs, due to the fact that a larger amount of energy is needed to produce the same amount of cooling for Case 3, because temperature of the cooling water provided is colder than required.
The line indicated as Case 1 in Figure 2 represents the configuration targeted by the dual heat exchanger InRow prototype cooler design. Case 1 has considerably more cooling capacity compared to Case 2.
Increased cooling capacity is obtained by adding an increasing amount of chilled water starting at approximately 36 kW of IT power cooled.
Case 1 has a small (approximately 1-2%) efficiency penalty compared to Case 2, because a larger amount of fan power must be allocated due to the increased airflow resistance through two heat exchangers compared to one. This penalty is highlighted by the offset seen between Case 1 and 2 between 30 kW and 36 kW of IT power cooled in Figure 2.
Figure 2: This demonstration (Case 1) energy use efficiency results compared to single heat exchanger configurations (Case 2, 3)
Others thinking outside the box
There are a number of other promising IT equipment cooling technologies that show potential for energy efficiency improvement, including direct liquid and immersion cooling. Direct cooling is typically constructed by attaching a heat-transfer device or material directly to or very near a surface of high heat generating components. This approach provides a more direct heat transfer path to the building cooling infrastructure, thus avoiding or reducing the need for room-wide air-cooling.
An immersion cooling design is typified by immersing the entire IT equipment electronic circuit board in a dielectric fluid. Cooling systems using mineral oil or a Halon-alternative fluoroketone are available or being actively developed. These approaches promise to provide IT equipment cooling without the need for cooling towers, cooling tower water use or chiller systems, even in extreme climates.
Efficiency in economization
Using warmer water supplied from a cooling tower for computer room cooling solutions can provide energy efficiency improvements on the order of 30% to 50%, compared to water supplied from compressor-based cooling.
The APC prototype InRow device demonstrated that it can act as a localized water-side economizer cooling solution. An additional benefit is provided by this design, colder compressor-based cooling is only needed in the hot spot locations on the data center floor.
Depending on data center design and IT equipment power density distribution, much of the cooling could be provided using only warmer water provided by a cooling tower. Significant energy efficiency improvements should be possible if InRow coolers using the design concept discussed here are put in place.

Porcello to start home opener, Scherzer April 7
The pitching rotation still hasn't been filled out, but at least we know when the guys who are set will start. Jim Leyland announced this morning that Rick Porcello will start the home opener when the Tigers host the Indians on Friday, April 9. Max Scherzer will start the second game of the season against the Royals on Wednesday, April 7, after Justin Verlander starts Opening Day on April 5.
That leaves two openings that will depend on who's pitching.
One would figure that if Jeremy Bonderman gets a spot, he would appear to be more likely to start the series finale at Kansas City April 8. Bonderman would logically fit into the series finale at Kansas City April 8, but he still has a three-game suspension looming over him from his pitch that hit Minnesota's Delmon Young in the final week of last season. Bonderman immediately appealed the suspension, and I haven't heard anything yet about a hearing. Unless it's reduced, he can't pitch at all during the KC series, which would put someone else in line to pitch that game.
You could say it's the first major assignment for the 21-year-old Porcello, but starting the tiebreaker game against Minnesota last October was pretty big. Leyland said he wanted Scherzer's first start as a Tiger to be on the road rather than in the added energy of a home atmosphere.
4 Comments
Bondo cannot start on April 8 because he is suspended for the first 3 games of the season. I would assume he will get the start at home on April 10. So whoever wins the 5th spot will get the other start in KC.
YES!!! I'm so glad Rick gets to start the home opener. He so deserves it!!!! GO PORCELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What am I forgetting why is Bondo suspended???
GK, Bonderman was suspended for retaliating against the Twins on the final Thursday of the season. You remember Delmon Young nearly charging his own dugout? Remains one of the darndest things I've ever seen.

An impressionable, slightly aimless man meets up with a very focused, and very married woman. An illicit affair develops, but then an even darker plan takes root - what if, you know, something happened to hubby?
And the two make it happen - only to discover that the crime that now binds them is also tearing them apart.
Good idea for a melodrama? Lawrence Kasdan thought so, which is why "Body Heat" nicks it from James M. Cain's classic "The Postman Always Rings Twice." But Cain had already borrowed it - from Emile Zola's 1867 novel of grimy naturalism, "Therese Raquin."
And the new "In Secret" goes back to that story's roots, not only in 19th-century France, but a time when a man truly established a woman's identity and only property could bring any kind of independence.
It's a familiar story (Chan-wook Park's typically, deliberately outré "Thirst" turned it into a vampire story starring a scandalous priest) yet it's so often freely adapted that seeing it done with some fidelity is a nice reminder of how modern and daring Zola was.
This version was originally named "Therese" (and originally supposed to come out last year) and the title change seems to reflect something more than commercial aspects: here, Therese Raquin is no longer the star of her own story. It's her mother-in-law.
That may be because she's played by the formidable Jessica Lange, who imbues Madame Raquin - she has no first name in the tale - with a striking singleness of purpose. She is, simply, devoted to her invalid son - so much so that she will push her ward, Therese, into marrying him (and, of course, then join them in their new home).
Yet perhaps because she is so focused on her child, Madame Raquin is oblivious to the real dangers taking shape.
Lange is terrific in the part - even more so when, in the second half of the story, a stroke leaves her nearly immobile, and she's forced to act with her eyes alone. But sometimes it feels as if she's acting alone, too.
It's true that both her son (Tom Felton, running fast from his "Harry Potter" days as Draco) and his wife's lover (Oscar Isaac) are meant to be easily led characters, yet they come across as colorless, too. They don't really capture our interest.
And while Elizabeth Olsen continues to be a striking young actress - with luminous skin and enormous eyes full of secrets - she never quite manages to express how imprisoned Therese feels, or how haunted she becomes once the murderous deed is done.
The film has its moments. The street scenes (mostly done in Serbia) re-create, if not Paris, then a convincingly filthy old Europe; there is a particularly naughty, if slightly silly, moment when Therese is forced to hide her lover literally under her petticoats.
But apart from that farcical eroticism, Olsen and Isaac never really create the kind of amour fou that a story like this depends on, let alone the self-loathing guilt that their crime is supposed to engender. They pass through its melodrama without ever really being part of it, and when the film ends, they're not the people who linger in our minds.
Perhaps they should have changed the title to "Madame Raquin."
Note: Newhouse News Service movie critic Stephen Whitty wrote this review.
2 stars, out of 5
Snapshot: A revenge-based melodrama, set in 1860s Paris, about a woman trapped in a loveless marriage who begins an affair with her husband's childhood friend. Inspired by Emile Zola's "Therese Raquin."
What works: It's both refreshingly faithful and modern, and Jessica Lange is great as the driven, possessive mother-in-law of the main character.
What doesn't: Lead actors Elizabeth Olsen and Oscar Isaac never quite kindle the requisite mad passion.
Cast: Elizabeth Olsen, Jessica Lange, Oscar Isaac, Tom Felton. Director: Charlie Stratton. Rating: R, for sexual content and brief violent images. Running time: 1 hour 41 minutes. Where: Find New Orleans showtimes.

Chrissy and Jay ~ Day After Session ~ New York City
posted by Kelly
Chrissy and Jay are that couple that tends to crack one joke after another and has "sarcasm" as their middle name. You can see why we have been friends for so long. You never know how two jokesters would actually do with such a serious shoot. They did not disappoint in the least. We may just change their middle name to "sultry" now!!! Grrrrrrrrr………
Seriously, Jay does one impression and one voice after another and Chrissy tells these really great stories in her amazing Jersey accent. We have so much FUN with them. They knew they wanted to have some memories of a place they have worked, lived and played music in, none other than New York City. We were so pumped. The weather was PERFECT and although we had NO CLUE where we were in that city, there was no shortage of cool spots and color everywhere we turned.
Chrissy and Jay spent their first night in the swanky Empire Hotel. If only we had free reign to shoot wherever we wanted inside. You have to click the link and see gorgeous it is decorated!
We met them up in their room. It took everything within me not to jump face first into the massively fluffy king-size bed.
We were a little limited on time so we needed to get game faces on so we could get shots like this.
So Jay got some energy out for us. He seriously was jumping his heart out. I could have posted a ton of these because they are hilarious to look at! Sweet style points Jay.
We ventured up to the rooftop of the hotel to see what we could find on the sundeck.
They had a small pool with this awesome silver wall reflecting in. Made for a great background. I think this is one of my favorite series from the day. Hottie McHotpants!
Ryan would like it to be known that "When in Rome" does not apply to him here. Just because he was in NYC he didn't feel free to dress expressively. There was water around the pool and he didn't want his pants dragging in it. (Whatever, I say you make fun of him. 6'6" Huck Finn…he is just asking for it!!!)
We walked down to the Lincoln Center for a few shots on the stairs.
It was actually harder than it seemed to get people to just walk by without parting around Chrissy and Jay. This is them telling everyone to keep walking by. Being from Syracuse and Ryan from Boston we just figured people would have no problem charging down the sidewalks without caring we were shooting. Surprisingly, not so much.
At the base of Trump Towers.
Jay's eyes are looking smoldering in this shot.
Little pit stop at a fruit stand.
Back inside the hotel. There was a little more sass to be flashed before calling it a day.
Ahhhh….what a great, great session with the Romines! If I didn't gush enough on your wedding post, let me take this moment to say one more time how blessed we are to call you friends. We love you guys so incredibly much. I love that you still say "HHHHHHHOOOOOTTTT" and "Ellll-bow" Chloe will laugh one day when she hears about the inside jokes she provided us.
You are a deep buried treasure in our lives and our marriage. Thank you for choosing us to play such a key part of your wedding weekend. It was truly a celebration!

I didn't think that any other photos could top those of your wedding day. However, the day after session put this photographer over the top. The couple looks great and very much at ease. I love them all. Enjoy your marriage Mr. & Mrs. Romine :) Congrats to the photographer on a job well done.

I LOVED the pictures! I'm sure you'll treasure them the rest of your life. What great art to put up in your home too. Gotta say I loved them all, but I stared the longest at the one with you in the crowd by the subway - with the sort of bubble effect- where the lady is staring at you…made me think she's thinking how lucky/blessed you guys are. Thanks for sharing!

ROCKY RIVER, Ohio -- City officials said they are prepared for more flooding on Monday evening, but they are hopeful that no one will be asked to leave their homes. Rain is in the forecast after a weekend in which several families fled their homes over fears of rising flood waters.
Rocky River safety service director Mary Kay Costello had dirt on her shoes on Monday afternoon after she spent several hours checking water levels near Rocky River and the mouth of Lake Erie, where flooding occurred over the weekend.
"We will be watching (water levels) all of today and through tomorrow," she said.
Much of the snow in Rocky River appears to have melted as temperatures rose above freezing on Sunday.
Rising water levels were caused largely by melting ice and snow, Costello said.
Police and fire departments are monitoring a storm coming through the area, but she said the city doesn't expect rain to cause any flooding on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Nearly 20 families were evacuated from their homes along South Island Drive over the weekend due to flooding. They were allowed to return on Sunday afternoon.
"We did evacuate some families who wanted to leave," said Rocky River police chief Kelly Stillman.
Some homes along the river had water damage, city officials said.
The Fire Department said firefighters responded to a CO2 alarm at a South Island Drive house on Sunday and found water damage.
Stillman said several homes along South Island Drive sustained water damage.
City workers worked to repair boat docks on Monday morning that were damaged by ice jams over the weekend.
Several people who live near Rocky River on South Island Drive returned to their homes Sunday to find the roads muddied, docks damaged and large ice chunks in their back yards.
Police said between 4 and 5 inches of water covered the road over the weekend. A flood warning expired at noon on Monday, but the National Weather Service has issued flood warnings in Sandusky, Ottawa and Wood counties until 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Officials in Willoughby and Painesville had to close roads due to flooding on Saturday and Sunday.

Rated 4 out of 5 by xoespresso Cute basic I got the green in my usual JCrew skirt size. It pairs well with a black top and is quite comfortable -- the one drawback is that the side slits come up a bit higher than I initially expected. Still cute though! May 21, 2014

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has presented pilot Chesley Sullenberger and his crew with keys to the city.
Bloomberg calls them "five real American heroes."
Sullenberger stressed that, while he's gotten a lot of the credit, it was a team effort. He praised the crew, emergency responders and the passengers.
Sullenberger ditched US Airways Flight 1549 in the frigid Hudson River when a flock of birds disabled the plane's engines on Jan. 15. All 155 people aboard survived.
Bloomberg says that day "could have been one of our most tragic, but became one of our most triumphant."
He says a miracle was made possible by the crew's years of experience and training.
Bloomberg told them: "Thank you for sparing our city and so many families from an awful tragedy."
