Do you need a GUI to be able to create and burn your favorite music tracks on a standard audio CD which then can be used by any CD player? The answer is no ! GUI is for losers ! Right? :-) Let's see how hard it is to burn an audio CD with a cdrecord linux command. What is needed:
Install all prerequisites:
# apt-get install cdrecord ffmpeg normalize-audio libavcodec52
In our scenario we have a selection of MP3 and OGG files from different albums stored in a single directory called burn:
ls ~/burn/ 03.Come As You Are.mp3 07 - Crystal Mountain.mp3 09-We Who Are Not as Others.mp3 Lemuria_-_05_-_Lemuria.ogg
Since all files are taken from a different locations / albums the chance that they all have a different volume settings is very high. To make them volume uniform we use a normalize-audio command. Normalize normally works only on wav files so first we need to convert all files to wav.
NOTE: if names of your files contain a space use this command to replace space with _:
$ for f in *; do mv "$f" `echo $f | tr ' ' '_'`; done
Convert all files to wav format:
$ for i in $( ls ); do ffmpeg -i $i $i.wav; doneRead more ...
How many GUI CD/DVD burning applications do you know? Now, how many of them you can name that can burn an ISO image directly from ftp server or burn your remote directory over ssh? If you want to use a GUI burning software in such manner you would first need to mount your remote ftp or ssh directory as a part of a local system. However, this is possible without any extra effort by use of command line interface.
This article will illustrate some command line tricks on how to work with ISO images and how burning a data from a command line can safe you time. It really highlights a power of Linux command line interface.Read more ...

Is it a crow? Is it a raven?
Those of us who live in the Upper Delaware River valley are familiar with the flocks of large black birds that caw noisily from the forest, alight in ones and twos and (in lean times) peck the earth under the bird feeders. But most of us would have a difficult time discerning whether what we are looking at is a flock of crows or ravens.
One morning several weeks ago I found a dead crow at the bottom of my drive, seen at right here. Who knows what killed it—starvation, maybe, or illness, or maybe it was struck by a car. But it got me thinking about the crows in my forest—or are they ravens?
Both birds are smart, although ravens are smarter. Both suffer from spooky, even hateful reputations brought on by superstition and folklore, Halloween imagery and Edgar Allen Poe. Crows and ravens share the same genus (Corvus), but they are different birds. A main difference is size—ravens are much bigger, as big as red-tailed hawks, but unless seen side by side, this can be a meaningless distinction. Ravens soar in the air much more often than crows, which rarely soar. If you see a soaring bird
it is most likely a raven, especially if it has a wedge shape to its fanned tail. (Ravens have also been observed actually somersaulting during flight.) Raven wings have longer "primaries" (or fingers) than crow wings, which means there is more air showing through them during flight. Ravens have huge bills and shaggier throats than crows, and raven beaks have a more horizontal angle than crow beaks.
The common call of the raven is distinctive as well, much deeper than that of the crow. Ravens will occasionally give a "caw caw," but the more common call is a deep, reverberating "gronk gronk" sound. Both ravens and crows have a number of other distinctive whistles, clicks, rattles and even clear-sounding bell notes.

I am also laughing my @$$ off. Jeff. This is effing hysterical. YOU ROCK. You are made of win.
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
Thank you, Hyunyoung! thank you, Jen! thank you, Kylie! Yes, please pass it on to your friends and their friends and their… yay!
EMS should be arriving at my cube any minute now because I'm sure my co-workers think I'm having a seizure over here as I ROFLMAO! Man, that was f'n greatness!
Too funny….. you missed your calling Jeff…..
so fitting that the cubs are in the 'City of Brotherly Love' for a few days….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
p.s. We should declare this National Jesus Hates the Cubs Day, given the serendipitous footnote at the end of the post I made this morning: http://jonestein.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/07/curve-appeal.html
Apologies for the shameless self-blog-promoting link…just seemed appropriate given the subject of the hilarity I just witnessed in the your video.
Jonestein, no problem. Promote away. That's what it's all about: bringin' the laughs. I mean, who couldn't use a laugh? EMS show up yet? LOL.
Devilabrit — I'm trying to catch up to that calling😉 Hope your Phils demolish the sCrUBS in this set!
OMG!!! But then again – we all know that Jesus is a Red Sox fan!! lol!! GREAT VIDEO!!!!
LOL. You may be right, Julia, though he waited a loooooooong time to give y'all salvation (but then again, you got it twice within 3 years so you must've been going to church on the regular).
Dillon — Interesting comment😉
As Vanilla Ice used to say…"Word to your Mother."
I will throw it out into the out sanctions of web-ville and we will see if someone picks it up and runs with it.
Viral hit…shooo nuff'
Cult Classic, everywhere but Chi-town
I will pass on the word of the redbird for you.
Rays Renegade
I always thought Jesus hated Detroit, especially after 2006. Of course, he's never sent them plagues of cats or goats or Bartman either, so maybe he just hates the Cubs more.
RR — Thanks, brotha! Don't forget, half of Chi-town (the southern half, everywhere south of Madison where I happily live) is all about Cubbie hatin'. (Sox fans can be quite brutal, believe me.)
Erin — I think you're onto something. Oh, and he hates the Natinals too.
Holly — Thanks. We'll try.
LMAO.. hilarious.. as always..
I know u grew out that goatee just for this video didn't you? Lolz..
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
V — Had to go thug. Y'know how it be.
Hey, I put a link to your blog and your video on my blog. I also sent it through facebook to every Cards and Cub fan I could think of that would have laughed hysterically like I did. It is so true, its even in the Bible, keep up the good work,
Funny as hell, and I have to agree with the message you send there, haha.
You have a real future in rap music :O) LOL By the way, the Phillies must hate the Cubs too…we beat them up good last night :O)
Great video! I'm walking around my house going, "Jesus hates the CUBS," and my husband's going, "What?" Love the Skittles on the beard, the "set" for the vid, the whole deal.
Roundrock — Yes. You interested? Nice to see you back!
Andy — You the bomb, man. Thanks! I'll stop by soon!
Lisa — Just tryin' to preach it the way it is😉
Jenn — I'm lovin' the Phillies… while they play the Cubs that is.
You guys have a lot of time on your hands, don't you? LOL!That was an AWESOME! You guys rock (or rap as the case may be)! Keep it up!
Jane – My wife had that "I'm going to leave you" look on her face when I got home from work yesterday belting out "Jesus hates the CUBS". I don't know if it was the pathetic middle-aged-white-guy rapping or that she thinks Jesus doesn't hate anyone(I'm betting it's the former).
Later when "Baseball Tonight" showed Alfonso Soriano dropping yet another fly-ball to the Cubs outfield, she replied, "You know, he might just hate 'em after all."
Jane — Much appreciated. Everyone should know this song eventually. They'll be singing it in the churches even. LOL.
Joe — Okay, smartypantz; it doesn't rhyme. Deal with it😉
Ginny — Will do! Thanks!
Jonestein — He does! It came to me in a vision. LOL. Thanks for gettin' the whole family involved. You rock, dude.
TC — Dontcha know it! Thx!
We're gonna try an sweep the Cubs for you guys today, but becareful what you wish for, with the Phillies in sweep mode and you guys visiting over the weekend…….LOL
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Love it!!! I am sending it out to everyone I know back in Chicago, except my 95 year-old grandfather. He doesn't have a computer. And he's probably at church anyway. (Lighting a candle for his Cubbies, no doubt.)
Devilabrit — Thanks (until this weekend). To tell you the truth, I'm quite worried about that series. Look at all those bombers! Jeesh.
Lori — Haha. Well, I'd like to say I hope it works out for your grandfather seeing his team win, but… well, I can't. I may not have tact, but I do have principles. Hahaha.
I showed the video to my daughter. She loved the beard! She was trying to imitate you guys all day! Thanks for that – it was fun to see her trying to rap! LOL!
Ginny — LOL. That's awesome! Thanks for the youth exposure. That's our target audience. Haha.
Jeff- thanks for the learned Wrigley experience tip. It hath been added to the "Wrigley-from-afar 12-Step Program". (also check out the new step 7, inspired by RaysFanboy's Wrigley "trough experience"…lol)
p.s. showed the wife "Jesus Hates the Cubs". She loved it but then smacked me one for getting the tune stuck in her head for the rest of the night. :^)
Hahaha! That's great, Jonestein. My (and the Lord's) work is done… sorta… still got a lot of season left to go.

Pet Friendly Dude Ranch Vacation Disc Golf in Red Feather Lakes Colorado – Bring Your Dog!
Here is a handy-dandy First Time Disc Golfing Here? page, and a picture preview of our Colorado Guest Ranch Disc Golf Course.
Have you tried frisbee – disc golf? This game adds a whole new element of fun to our dude ranch experience. Come try it!
Family Dude Ranch Frisbee – disc golf is a game patterned after traditional golf, yet very different! You can expect:
- A game that everyone in the family can enjoy
- A fair amount of hiking at a relaxed pace
- Easy, fun and a challenge for all skill levels.
- Walking 18 "holes" or baskets arranged in a course
- Players begin by throwing their frisbee – discs from a "Tee" (starting area) towards the target basket.
- Taking turns, each player continues to throw his or her frisbee – disc until each player has reached the target basket.
- The object of the game is to complete the course with the fewest number of throws.
- Each "hole" (basket) has a "par" and requires a bit of strategy to negotiate the distance, the obstacles (rocks and trees) and the hazards (the ponds).
- Initial investment can be less than $10 for your first frisbee – disc!
- No special equipment, supplies or clothing.
- Easily learned and played by children and seniors.
Ranch Holiday Disc Golf is Challenging!
Here's a pretty darn good video to introduce you to disc golf.
And here is another video about the philosophy of disc golf titled: Beyond Winning and Losing.
Here is link to Official PDGA Rules.
You might want to print out our Course map and Score card.
This course was designed and inspired by the folks at The Wright Life.
Our dude ranch frisbee – disc golf course may be a bit different than other disc golf courses:
- Our course is very hilly and involves lots of trees.
- You share the course with horses (actually they share their course with you!).
- There is no cell phone service – the ranch is "out of range"
- Bath rooms are located just off the dining room and he recreation room.
- Picnic tables are located behind the lodge.
Our dude ranch course has been created to complement our horseback riding lifestyle. It is intended mainly for our overnight guests, but we welcome day players, using the following guidelines:
- Day players may choose to explore the course on horseback before playing, or may wish to ride our other trails after their game. Call us for hourly rates and to make your horse back riding reservations (970-224-1222).
- Day players may also enjoy hearty western meals with us (if we are cooking when you are here) by making reservations (yup, 970-224-1222).
- Day players may want to enjoy country lodge living with us during the fall, winter and spring months (September through May) which can include lodging, meals and horseback riding as well as frisbee – disc golf (the same 970-224-1222). Disc Golf Hole #18
- And some dude ranch frisbee – disc course rules:
- We always close the front gate behind us! Horses (and donkeys and goats and some pretty friendly but stupid dogs) are always loose on the property. Horses wandering in the road can be a tragedy!
- Please drive slowly! Horses have a funny way of literally jumping out of the bushes in front of cars!
- Day guests may park their cars in the lodge parking lot, and to "sign in" in the lodge dining room, where they can obtain score cards, maps of the course, and may buy frisbee – disc gear.
- We do not throw frisbee – discs around horses! Horses are big bunny rabbits – we have to use our intelligence because they don't have any.
- We practice the "minimal impact ethic." This means that we make as small an impact as possible. We don't break off tree limbs. We don't pick flowers. We leave no trash.
- We strongly encourage guests to carry water. Water, lemon-aide (and cookies) are generally available in the lodge at no charge.
- There is no smoking on the frisbee – disc course or generally on the ranch. Smoking is permitted on the lodge front deck only.
- You cannot take your horse home with you. You can take home your first frisbee – disc (an investment of about $10).
OK, How much does it cost?
* Disc Golf is free for our overnight guests.
* The rate for day guests is $3/round/person or $5/day/person or $50/yr/person or for $5M we will sell you the ranch.
* We can sometimes also provide lunch (chef's choice, family style, call for planned menu), and horse back riding.
Here is a Handy-Dandy First Time You Are Here Page and here's a handy-dandy guide to Dude Ranch Disc Tournaments.
* You might enjoy our Fall, Winter and Spring Country Lodge lifestyle with lodging, meals and horseback riding.

I really love Mos Def's records where he just sings. Even though it's not the greatest, his voice sounds so soulful to me.
I came across a beat randomly on a blog the other day. The beat samples the same record Mos Def did on a song where he just sings, but I can't remember the name of it. Can anyone help? The beat is below, and samples the exact part that Mos Def sings over on his song.
Anyone help would be much appreciated!
Mos Def song?

CSF Report
About the Fellowship | Current Fellow | Hall of Fame | Reports
Homeland and Climatic Security at the Crossroads of Science and Policy
by Rafael Sagarin, 2002-2003 GSA Congressional Science Fellow
Reprinted from GSA Today, v. 13, no. 6 (June 2003)
Every morning, I pass through security at the Longworth House Office Building. Connected to the Capitol building through a series of labyrinth-like tunnels, my building should be one of the most secure places on Earth. Yet for the six months I've been working there, security has been exactly the same. The Capitol police check cars by opening their trunks and glancing in before waving them into the underground garage. People pass through a metal detector that has not once beeped about the keys in my pocket. This "standing target" approach to homeland security is a good example of the failure of science to penetrate deeply into the political world.
Specifically, it is a failure of evolutionary scientists to get involved in the homeland security debate. In his 1993 book, Evolution and Escalation, evolutionary biologist Gary Vermeij wrote that when faced with an adaptable enemy, you may either adapt yourself, move away, or go extinct. Vermeij was talking about the evolutionary dance between snails and crabs in the fossil record, but he might as well have been talking about the U.S. and Al Qaeda. Unfortunately, I have seen almost no discussion on Capitol Hill of how our security systems should evolve, or of whether consolidating all of our security apparatus under one giant Office of Homeland Security will make us more or less adaptable to terrorist threats.
The failings and occasional successes of infusing science into public policy are evident every day on Capitol Hill. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the issue of global climate change. Success can be seen in the rapid change in the publicly stated attitudes about climate change among political leaders and politically powerful business interests. Both success, and more often, failure, can be seen in the plans of action proposed to deal with climate change.
The Bush Administration's initial tone on climate change reflected the view that there was insufficient evidence to support the theory of climate change or to link human activity to climate change. Accordingly, President Bush announced early in his term that he would not ratify the Kyoto Protocol on curbing greenhouse gas emissions. But this view was soon rebuked by two widely publicized scientific reviews of climate change science: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) "Third Assessment Report" of 2001, and a follow-up report by the National Academies that was commissioned by the Bush administration. Both reports stated that observed and predicted future climate change can be attributed in part to human activity.
In the six months I have spent in Washington, I have heard several high-level administrators announce that climate change is indeed occurring and is likely to be in part due to human causes. Even ExxonMobil, which has held out longer than its competitors in acknowledging the threat of climate change, has discussed its product's role in climate change in briefings on the Hill. I believe that it is the willingness of the thousands of scientific contributors to the IPCC and National Academies reports to put their findings in a highly publicized forum that has caused this radical shift in attitudes of powerful political players.
Nonetheless, success has been limited in scientists' ability to shape policy responses to climate change. The main plan of action proposed by the Bush administration to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas "intensity" (the ratio of emissions to economic output) by 18% in 10 years. I consider this plan a voluntary plan to do nothing. Consider that with no plan in place, greenhouse gas intensity declined 16% from 1990 to 2000, but overall emissions of greenhouse gases increased. Additionally, at least some of the reduction in emissions due to our intensity reduction will be transferred to another country because of a shift from manufacturing to service based economy. If manufacturing is shifted to a greenhouse gas intensive economy, such as China's, global intensity and emissions could increase.
On the scientific frontier, administration actions have shifted from positive, to negative, to uncertain. On the positive side, the administration proposed in fall 2002 a broad expansion of current scientific efforts known as the Climate Change Strategic Plan (CCSP). Over 1,200 people, including some of the country's leading climate change scientists, attended a public meeting to comment on the plan in December 2002, and the National Academies were asked to review the plan.
The National Academies' report on the CCSP, released in late February 2003, echoed the sentiments of many of the scientists I talked with during the December CCSP meeting. The academies noted that the plan lacked clear goals and priorities, standards for measuring progress, timetables for completion, or realistic assessments of the feasibility of proposed actions. Most damning of all was the finding that no new funding for climate change science was provided in the president's 2004 budget proposal.
Scientists should watch carefully to see if the recommendations of the National Academies and the hundreds of public comments (all published at climatescience.gov) are incorporated into the final CCSP, due in the end of April 2003. Equally important, Congress must approve a budget that includes significant increases from the president's proposal for climate change science. This will be a difficult feat in times of war, tax cuts, and massive budget deficits.

This property was great. The apartment is right on the Danube and handy to attractions. We walked everywhere and had a wonderful time.

Hajnalka and her family were great and were very helpful The accommodation was really good for a couple and very comfortable. It was also great value. We would stay again if we returned to Budapest
A lovely apartment with all the things you need. We were welcomed by the son who explained everything very well and who also gave us contact details if we needed anything.
Quite centrally located near parliament. Also near supermarket and metro. Great apartment in a great city.
A perfect little apartment for two, with everything you need. The location was very good, right in the centre with excellent communications. We slept very well in the queens size bed. It was very silent at night, no disturbances.
We would love to come back to the same place next time!
Thank you Hajnalka for warm welcome:)
Great location, clean apartment.
It is the best place for staying in Budapest.
The stay in this cosy apartment has been a great experience. My partner and I enjoyed the stay a lot as it is located near the Danube River, as well as the city center, to both to Buda and Pest. I will definitely strongly recommend this place and I'm sure I will go for this apartment again if I travel to Budapest next time. Cleaned, and you get almost everything just like your own home.
Warm and wonderful flat with everything a flat needs in the centre of Budapest. We felt highly welcomed. Hajnalka is a very caring and good person. We wish to come again.

A record number of North Central College students have been chosen to participate in the nation's leading conference on undergraduate research.
Thirty-two students will represent North Central at the 24th National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) April 15-17 at the University of Montana in Missoula, Mont. The number of participants from North Central College is among the most of any institution represented at the conference.
"This is an extraordinary and historic achievement for North Central's students and their faculty mentors—one that has developed out of our commitment to supporting undergraduate projects that go beyond the traditional classroom experience, and one that reflects a growing 'culture of inquiry' on campus. We're thrilled about this prestigious accomplishment," said Perry Hamalis, assistant professor of religious studies and director of North Central's Office of Academic Opportunities.
The number of North Central participants has grown in recent years, from two in 2005 to 19 in 2008 to the record 32 this year. The 32 students will present 30 different proposals; some proposals have more than one presenter, and one student will present two different research projects.
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study. This annual gathering welcomes up to 2,600 scholars and their faculty mentors from all institutions of higher learning in the United States. NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement. To learn more about the conference, visit http://www.umt.edu/ncur2010/.
Students chosen to present at NCUR are: Emily Albright of Naperville; Kaitlynn Andre of Round Rock, Texas; Kristin Arredia of Schaumburg; Kelly Carew of Aurora; Jacob Dewar of Downers Grove; Sunbir Gill of Westmont; Brigit Goudie of Oak Lawn; Kelvin Guilbault of Franklin, Wis.; Shanon Hankin of Naperville; Alexander Knobloch of East Moline, IL; Devin LaSarre of Crystal Lake; Christina Lorenzo of Naperville; Priscilla Martinez of Aurora; Matthew McCary of Markham; Colin McGowan of Woodstock; Nathan Meno of Naperville; Grace Muganda of Bolingbrook; Scott Oltman of Grand Mound, Iowa; Allison Pawelczyk of Willowbrook; Tanvi Potdukhe of Woodridge; Melissa Proulx of St. Charles; Heather Racine of Midlothian; Amy Rollins of Wheaton; Stephanie Ryding of Naperville; Samantha Schooley of Westmont; Michael Slykas of Naperville; Katherine Swiatek of Oak Lawn; Dorothy Tran of Aurora; Calaya Van Dreel of Manitowoc, Wis.; Weien Wang of Naperville; Colleen White of Sycamore; and Rachel Zmora of Oak Brook.

Lancashire Home Life ServicesCertificate of Excellence 2015
Lancashire Home Life Services is a professional multi-service family owned business with over two decades of experience in property renovation. During our many years of property renovation we have gained a wealth of knowledge in property care and repair, and have hired all types of tradesmen from groundsmen up to roofers. We know what a tradesman does when, why, how and in which order! When the recession closed in and most building companies laid off workers, many good tradesmen lost a great deal of work and pursued alternative professions. Rather than losing our best tradesmen, we thought it would be great to bring all the tradesmen who we had used and found to be highly skilled, honest and reliable into one company. By doing this we could create a 'one stop shop' and help people with limited time or resources to easily find trustworthy and professional tradesmen to work within their home. We could also offer our customers cheaper rates than others by dividing our overheads between our many services. This is when we decided to form Lancashire Home Life Services.

This post is the first of a two-part series on the new joint EPA-NHTSA vehicle standards. It will give an overview of the new standards. The second part [2] dives deeper into details on how the new standards will be met.
As the Pew Center for Global Climate Change has transformed [3] into the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), the transportation sector is undergoing some major transformations itself.
The eagerly anticipated model years 2017-2025 vehicle standards [4] for greenhouse gases and fuel economy have been officially proposed and inked into the best of formal Federal prose – an extensively detailed 893-page behemoth [5] of a report to be exact. The new vehicle standards would nearly double the efficiency of the nation's passenger vehicle fleet. And based on its contents, these proposed standards appear to be a tremendous victory for most, creating benefits for the economy, national security, public health, vehicle buyers, and the global climate.
It's been a long time coming. Together with last year's rulemakings [6] on 2012-2016 light duty standards and 2014-2018 heavy duty standards, vehicle standards haven't seen an overhaul of this magnitude since, well, the creation of such standards in the 1970s.
The impetus for a near doubling in vehicle efficiency standards largely stems from the landmark Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA [7], which gave the EPA a mandate to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Yet EPA did not have the authority to set Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards [8] – that resides within the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the US DOT, which agreed to raise standards under the Bush administration with bipartisan support back in 2007. So instead of creating two separate standards, NHTSA and EPA worked together to ensure that greenhouse gas regulations on vehicles coordinated with CAFE standards.
The 2017-2025 proposed standards build upon the previous standard, which set requirements for the next five years through model year 2016, and would now send a signal to auto manufacturers for the next 14 years. They bump the overall efficiency of any manufacturer's light-duty fleet from the current 2011 27.3 mpg fleet-wide average to the 49.6 mpg standard as measured by NHTSA. Ordinary passenger vehicles would have to average 56.2 mpg (up from 30.2 mpg) while light trucks, such as SUVs and minivans, would have to average 40 mpg (up from 24.1 mpg), leading to an average of 49.6 mpg.
The 49.6 mpg CAFE standard translates into the EPA metric of 163 grams of carbon dioxide per mile or 54.5 mpg, which can incorporate efficiency gains from more efficient air conditioning as well as other technologies.
That's a near doubling of efficiency by 2025, meaning that Americans will be able to visit the gas station half as much to travel the same distance. A separate rule [6] finalized on August 9 creates standards for heavy-duty vehicles for the first time in history from 2014-2018 while ensuring that affected firms remain competitive.
What's more, the new standards have broad support: 12 automakers (including the Big Three) [9], the endorsement of more than 110 members of Congress [10], and over 80 percent of consumers [11]. While one popular misconception claims that the standards would stifle job creation, the United Auto Workers co-authored a study [12] that showed 150,000 jobs would be created. Make no mistake – CAFE standards promote American prosperity and enterprise.
Indeed, the benefits come from more angles than one. According to EPA [13] analyses [14], across the lifetime of the vehicles produced, the light-vehicle standards till 2025 would save the nation more than 5.8 billion barrels of oil; mitigate nearly 3 billion metric tons of CO2 of GHG emissions; and create net benefits of around $500 billion produced from 2011-2025. To give some idea of what those numbers mean, a Natural Resources Defense Council and the Union of Concerned Scientists report [15] shows that the new light-vehicle standards would cut U.S. oil consumption by as much as 1.5 million barrels per day, which is equivalent to daily U.S. imports from Saudi Arabia and Iraq in 2010, and reduce carbon pollution by 280 million metric tons by 2030, which is equivalent to emissions from 72 coal-fired power plants per year.
Drivers will see many of these net benefits in fuel savings according to EPA analyses. To accommodate the new standards, the 2025 new car buyer will see the price tag of the car increase by $2,000. Luckily, he'll save about $5,200 to $6,600 on fuel costs over the lifetime of the vehicle – and that's assuming gas prices remain at 2011 levels (pretty unlikely). Moreover, according to EPA assumptions [14], if he purchases a car with a 5-year loan as is typical for new car buyers, the average driver would save $12/month – this is more than enough to offset the increase in monthly payments in order to pay for the higher cost of the car.
So what's up ahead? These are ambitious standards that will challenge automakers and drive new technology into the marketplace. We'll cover this to greater depth in the second part of our two-part series, but crucially, vehicle standards encourage innovation without picking a single technology so automakers will have to compete for business in the high-efficiency vehicle space. Of these innovative new cars, plug-in electric vehicles [16] are an exciting wild card if they can overcome initial challenges, as their oil use is either extremely small or even zero in the case of pure battery electric vehicles. In hopes of spurring the market for these and other advanced vehicles, the EPA's greenhouse gas standards include additional incentives for automakers to sell more of these vehicles.
The challenges of meeting the huge boost in standards go hand-in-hand with the need to examine transportation reauthorization [17] in a new way – with the gas tax already insufficient to support the nation's roads, increased efficiency will only further erode receipts. Moreover, the nation may have to overcome information gaps and cultural hurdles for new vehicle technologies to become accepted.
In the coming months, look for the proposed standards to become finalized, as EPA is now accepting comments on the 2016-2025 standards. In a time of regulatory uncertainty and political deadlock, business and government have proved to be a pragmatic, productive team in crafting long-lasting vehicle standards.

The Calumet County Medical Examiner said an 18-year-old woman found outside a New Holstein home died of exposure to the cold.
But WLUK-TV reported that authorities are still investigating what led to the death of Monica Batts of New Holstein.
Her body was found outside the home Friday by the man who lives there. Investigators said Batts had been there at least six hours before she was discovered. The resident told authorities he did not know her.
Officials said Batts' body didn't have any visible signs of trauma. The public is not believed to be in any danger.
Deputies said they don't plan to say much more until toxicology test results come back in a few weeks.

Reservation-Based, Community-Determined Program: Contemporary Indian Communities in a Global Society - Peninsula
Fall 2013, Winter 2014 and Spring 2014 quarters
Taught by
This program teaches from a Native-based perspective within the context of the larger global society. Students at all reservation sites follow the same curriculum with opportunities to focus on local tribal-specific issues. This program will prepare students to understand the structural inequalities of wealth and economic development. Students will also examine social problems in Native communities through multiple methods and perspectives. Students will understand the impacts of social and political movements, both past and present, by comparing Indigenous societies in the world.
The theme for fall quarter is "Indigenous Pathways to Rich and Thriving Communities." Students will examine the field of community and economic development and explore contemporary economic development issues in tribal communities. Students will study the values, vision and principles that guide community and economic development efforts, the process of development, and change strategies such as asset building and community organizing. The course will focus on the promotion of equity and address critical issues such as poverty, racism and disinvestment.
"Building Healthy Communities" is the theme for winter quarter. During this quarter, students will examine the field of social problems and social policies in a wide range of areas. Students will explore the underlying drive that guides efforts to identify and resolve social problems that challenge society at large and tribal communities in particular, and review the process of building healthy communities and how change strategies are implemented.
The theme for spring quarter is "Comparing Indigenous Societies through Social and Political Movements." Students will use a variety of methods, materials and approaches to interpret, analyze, evaluate and synthesize the impact of indigenous peoples' history and policies on 21st century Indigenous societies. Students will focus on movements and activism that changed Indigenous societies at various levels of the social/political landscape from local to international.
Over the program year, students from all sites meet thirteen Saturdays on campus at the Longhouse. Through case study and other methods, the curriculum is enhanced and supported. Students participate in workshop-type strands and an integrated seminar that increases writing skills and broadens their exposure to the arts, social sciences, political science and natural science, and other more narrowly defined fields of study.

I'll try not to make this into a novel... I have a 6.5 month old girl, she's amazing, growing well in the height/weight dept., and has been EBF. I have pumped occasionally and she will take a bottle.
I hit a rough patch with BF when most moms are hitting their stride - at about 8 weeks I suddenly couldn't have a let-down. My supply was fine and physically there was nothing keeping me from BF, it was more of a mental thing where I couldn't relax. LO wasn't patient at all back then - she would scream and cry until either I pumped to start things, or she got it in a bottle. I worked with a LC and we've been doing much better since then, though there was the occasional setback. But after a few months of things going smoothly, I think LO wants to eat less often - I don't know if it is my nerves resurfacing from past struggles, but I'm curious about what others moms have experienced.
She wakes for a feeding around 4-5 a.m. and will sleep for another 3-4 hours. A few weeks ago she was eating again when she woke around 8, but now she will latch for a few seconds but then turn away, perfectly content. I keep trying but she really seems to be done with it. It is usually not until after another nap, around 10 or 11 a.m., that she will eat again. I am shocked she can go that long after being asleep most of the night! She will eat another 3 times before going to bed between 7-8 p.m. She doesn't even seem to want her last feed before bed too much but will generally go for it.
Is it normal for them to ease up on the feedings at this age? She's doing a lot more physically - almost crawling, pulling up, standing - can this have something to do with it? Because of our past difficulties with the let-down, I am pretty anxious about dropping a feed, but I do see that she's getting older and bigger and this is probably just life.
I am giving her solids once a day, in the early evening, between feedings. This has been going on for about a month (before she started not wanting the morning feed), and I'm not planning on giving her any more until she can eat on her own.
I know babies vary so much - I am just curious if this is how they let you know what they're ready for. Thanks in advance!
