Out of sight, out of mind
Fewer Americans say global warming is a big problem, but many still think government should do something about it
By Joe Piasecki 11/19/2009
The call to save our wounded planet has packed millions into movie theaters, spawned countless political action groups and even inspired a current Tropicana orange juice marketing campaign.
But a recent national survey of attitudes about global warming suggests that over the past few years a growing number of Americans have changed their minds about the importance of climate change, and fewer now believe it even exists.
The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found in October that just 35 percent of adults across the country see global warming as a "very serious problem," down from 44 percent in April of last year and 45 percent at the start of 2007. Meanwhile, 32 percent say global warming is not even a "somewhat serious problem," up from 24 percent last year and just 20 percent two-and-a-half years ago.
Though down 8 percent from last year, a solid 65 percent of respondents told Pew in October that global warming is either a "very serious" or "somewhat serious" problem.
Over the last 18 months, meanwhile, the number of people who believe there is solid evidence that the planet is heating up dropped from 71 percent to a much slimmer 57 percent majority. Skepticism grew among both those who identify as Democrats (three-quarters of whom still say the planet is warming) and Republicans (nearly two-thirds of whom say it's not), but the greatest shift occurred among independent voters — a 22-point slide from 75 percent support last year to just 53 percent today.
"It's scary," said JPL climatologist Bill Patzert, a firm believer in scientific evidence that the planet is warming. "There's been a movement away from concern about global warming on the part of the general public, but in the long term — over the next half-century and beyond — it is probably the most compelling issue in terms of the survival of civilization."
It would be far too early, however, for opponents of government restriction on corporate carbon emissions to celebrate.
Despite receding concern about climate change, the Pew survey found that half of Americans support taxing and limiting carbon emissions, even if it means higher energy prices, while 11 percent are still on the fence.
Support for cap and trade policies comes despite very low awareness — just 14 percent of those surveyed said they've heard a lot about proposals, while 55 percent reported hearing "nothing at all" about it. Only 36 percent believed that global warming is surely caused by human activity (down from 47 percent the previous three years).
Conservative Republicans, found Pew, are the only political group with majority opposition to carbon restrictions, with only 60 percent of that subgroup opposed.
Meanwhile, an October CNN poll found even greater national support for a cap and trade policy, with six in 10 in favor overall.
In August, 58 percent of respondents to an ABC/Washington Post survey said they would support cap and trade even if it raised their monthly electricity bills by $10 per month, but support dropped to 39 percent when the cost of going green climbed to $25 per month. A month earlier, 44 percent were comfortable with a $25 price jump, while 80 percent said they felt the federal government should regulate the release of greenhouse gases, even if it increased prices of consumer goods.
Jim Stewart, an Earth Day Los Angeles organizer and co-chair of the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter's Global Warming, Air Quality and Energy Committee, believes that recent cooler temperatures and a backlash against cap and trade fanned by conservative media and energy producers have muddied the waters of public opinion.
He also points out that reluctance to accept the problem of global warming is heating up most among white males living in the country's red-state middle, where, according to Pew data, many are likely to fear higher energy costs and loss of traditional energy and transportation sector jobs.
"One of the things I've been very disappointed with is the apparent success of coal companies aligning with rural utilities to oppose the Waxman-Markey [cap and trade] bill," said Stewart.
Among West Coast environmental activists, "we're so much more energized this year with the election of Obama and the selection of Secretary [of Energy Steven] Chu. Now we have an opportunity for the US to make a difference in the whole global scene," said Stewart.
Pew found 56 percent of Americans favored the US joining with other countries to set global standards for addressing climate change.
But if worries about global warming are on the decline, other polls suggest that health care and the economy are uppermost in people's minds.
A September Bloomberg poll of adults nationwide found that seven out of 10 ranked those issues as the most important facing the country, while only 2 percent named global warming. Health care and the economy also dominated a CBS News poll last month.
"The economy is a big part of it. The last 18 months have been a shocker. There's a reaction by people that if we sink all this money into energy technology and the environment that it's going to slow down the recovery. So a lot of this is fear and self-interest," said Patzert. "The greatest threat to the whole movement and doing anything positive is the status quo. And the more uncertain times become, the more people seem to stick to the status quo."
In Pasadena, meanwhile, it appears that many residents are embracing the idea that clean energy technology will actually help dig us out of the downturn.
Some 200 people gathered on Oct. 31 for "The Green Economy: Climate Change to Job Creation," a forum at Pasadena City College hosted by the One Community grassroots organization founded by activist Ralph McKnight and Pasadena City Councilman Chris Holden.
"Nationally, the economy has taken all the oxygen out of the room, and at the moment the focus is not attentive on global warming and the green economy, when I think it should be," Holden said. "By investing in the environment, we are creating new jobs, and there is also a social justice and economic justice component."
The Pew survey does not rate other issues, but did identify significant differences in attitudes about climate change among geographic regions and age groups.
Despite declining overall concern about climate change, the number of people ages 18 to 29 who said global warming is a "very serious problem" actually increased from 41 percent in April 2008 to 46 percent last month.
Conversely, the number of those 65 and older in the "very serious" category fell precipitously from 41 percent in 2008 to just one in four this fall, the steepest drop of any age group.
The sharpest regional decline in belief that evidence supports climate change occurred in the West's mountain states, where the number of believers shrank from 75 percent last year to only 44 percent in October.
In the Pacific region, the number of those who say there is solid evidence for global warming dropped by 13 points but remains at 65 percent — among the highest in the nation.
"While other things may seem more compelling today, I think climate change is definitely still on everybody's radar screen," said Patzert.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Are you tired of getting telemarketing calls even though your number is on the national Do-Not-Call registry, or of running to pick up the phone only to be greeted by a pre-recorded sales pitch? You're not alone. Our annual survey of state and local consumer protection agencies revealed that Do-Not-Call violations and other telemarketing abuses were the fastest-growing complaints they received in 2013.
Technology is a major factor: Internet phone service, Caller ID spoofing software, prepaid cell phones that scammers buy anonymously and discard, and auto-dialers make it easy and inexpensive for crooks to contact U.S. consumers from anywhere in the world. And to pay for these tools of the trade, fraudsters sometimes use stolen credit card account numbers that they buy on the cheap from hackers.
In the survey, which Consumer Federation of America conducts in partnership with the North American Consumer Protection Investigators, the worst complaints last year involved scams of all kinds against the elderly. These stories are heartbreaking, because when older people lose their life savings, it's often difficult for them to recover, financially and emotionally.
The top ten complaints to state and local consumer agencies in 2013 were:
How can you protect yourself? Advice is provided for each of the complaint examples in the survey report. You'll find it at www.consumerfed.org/fraud, along with videos and tips from CFA about how to recognize and avoid various types of scams. There is also a guide to your telemarketing rights and where to report violations. Remember, if someone is calling in violation of your rights, it's a scam. Legitimate telemarketers follow the rules – crooks don't.
My computer is very slow to respond, do I have a problem?
Thank you

Arsene Wenger and Arsenal are facing up to the prospect of life without Bacary Sagna.
According to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail, talks between Sagna and the club over a proposed contract extension have reached something of an impasse:
The 31-year-old has already rejected two offers to stay, the latest a two-year option on the same £60,000-a-week he earns at the moment.
Make-or-break talks are in the diary but Sagna wants three years at more than £90,000 a week, plus a £6m signing-on fee to be paid in annual installments.
Mokbel claims that Galatasaray and Inter Milan have already emerged as possible destinations for the France international.
Inevitably, Wenger and his team of scouts have cast their eyes toward the summer market and securing a potential Sagna replacement.
In this piece, we take a look at four options to replace Arsenal's experienced full-back.

In RedBoard's first blog post, we received a comment from Shane asking about coverage in Northwestern Ontario. Today, we have an update for you Shane – as well as for those living, travelling or doing business in that area.
Rogers and Thunder Bay, Ont.'s TBayTel announced this morning an agreement that will see Rogers customers gain access to TBayTel's HSPA network, which covers will cover communities and major highway corridors in a 300,000 square kilometre area spanning from just west of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. to the Manitoba border. (How big is 300,000-square kilometres? Roughly the size of France.)
The deal will give TBayTel customers access to Rogers' 3G HSPA network, allowing them to use mobile devices on the Rogers network across Canada.
The Rogers-TBayTel agreement is subject to approval by regulators. Should it be approved, service between the Rogers and TBayTel is expected to begin later this year.
We are always looking at ways to expand and improve our network. Our HSPA network covers more than 84 per cent of the Canadian population and we are currently upgrading it to HSPA+ — which provides speeds of up to 21 Mbps, similar to those of fixed broadband.
Check out www.rogers.com/network for more information about our Wireless coverage.

does fly color matter?
I asked one time about fly pattern. Now that I'm tying flies I've come to more questions.....
Is the exact color specified in the recipe important or are there more important factors? For example...I've been tying up some Quill Gordons and I've been using mallard for wings not wood duck (as called for in the recipe). Will the color make a difference to the fish?
Mallard probably will be close enough. You can dye that mallard with yellow onion skins to get closer to the wood duck color. Just steep the onion skins in hot water and then strain out the skin and use the resultant liquid to dye the mallard. Be sure to wash the mallard in soapy water and rinse well before dying. Silvercreek
I think the color matching is going to depend on the situation and how close you are getting with your substitute materials. Some probably think it is critical. I probably lean more towards it not really being that important in most cases compared to presentation.
I believe that color matching is important in most situations dry fly situations; however, it is not a deal breaker. I would try matching the color closely if you are trying to match a hatch. Although, color matching is a huge deal if you are tying nymphs/midges. You need to get those very close.
The most important thing is getting the correct shape and SIZE. Size is probably the biggest area that most tyers do not focus on. Well, this is an area that I screw up on most of the time. I have shaking hands; so, I usually use size 20 hooks or smaller. This slight variation can reduce my strikes by 50% in not using a size 22-24 hook/fly in certain situations. Mostly; this comes in to play in areas that the majority of the food source is extremely small. Also, you need to make sure the fly's shape will give it the correct presentation that you are intending to mimic.
Don't be afraid to experiment. Some fish are keen to stimulating patterns and colors when feeding is selective and fishing is slow.
thanks for the advice! this is all new to me. (I hope my questions are helpful to others in the same boat as I am.)
so Madison boats, let's say I'm tying up quill gordons in size 14 and 12. Is That what you're talking about when you refer to size? I've been focusing on learning to tie proper proportions, sizes, and hackle. But last night I tied up some amazing looking flies, but i just didn't have the correct colors.
Oh by the way, Are nymphs really the colors we tie them? They look black to me!
By size; I mean what the fishing are currently taking in the location you are fishing. The difference in hook size vs. what size the fish are eating is huge. You should find a simple seine net online or at a hobby shop that you can seine the water you fishing. This is a great help in identifying the color, size, and bug that is prevalent in the stream. Save some of them in a small watertight canister and use as reference at home - by copying them.
Care to post the shaft lengths of the hooks you mention?
"Along these same lines it is also important to understand that just because a hook is size 12 doesn't mean the fly is a size 12. When I say they were taking a size 16 sulfur, that is the size of the insect (or fly body) that the fish are eating. A TMC 100 size 16 is completely different from a TMC 2488 size 16 or a TMC 2302 #16. It is important to know how to relate the insect size to the hook shank length not the hook size. " :eek:
Gulp! just when I get pleased with myself at just being able to tie a fly, I find out it ain't as easy as I'd hoped....I suppose with every pursuit there is no limit on technicalities to learn!

Student stares sharks in the mouth and discovers versatility
Sharks may be scary, but they're clever, too. After all, they've managed to remain the top predators since long before the dinosaurs.
Yet scientists are still discovering new things about the fish that made Jaws a blockbuster and audiences cancel their vacations at the beach.
Take URI senior Jason Ramsay of Coventry, who is fascinated by sharks, particularly their mouths. While most of us think of sharks biting and tearing off chunks of their prey, Ramsay recently discovered that at least one kind of shark can not only do that, but it can also flatten its biting teeth, if shellfish is on the dinner menu.
Ramsay presented his findings at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in January and an article about his work appeared in the Feb. 13 issue of Science magazine.
The story begins one day when Ramsay was assisting Cheryl Wilga, assistant professor of biological sciences. The URI student tossed several local small green crabs into a tank of white spotted bamboo sharks, in place of their usual fare of soft fish and squid. The sharks immediately gobbled up their shelled snacks.
Curiosity may be the mother of invention, but it also proved to be a motivator for Ramsay, a 30-year-old father of three. The URI senior wondered how it was possible that the sharks could eat the crabs.
White spotted bamboo sharks don't have the typical teeth for eating shellfish. They have pointed teeth, good for grasping and piercing, but not for crushing. Usually only sharks with low, slightly rounded cusps eat shellfish. A quick check of scientific literature revealed that the white spotted bamboo's sister shark, the gray bamboo, fed on both fish and shellfish, primarily crabs.
Still curious, the URI student who has been attending URI part-time since 1998 dissected a bamboo shark's head, removing the muscles and then the jaws, but keeping the teeth and ligaments.
On a hunch, he manipulated the teeth and noticed how unusually flexible the ligaments were. Pressing down on a glass slide, he discovered the teeth folded back and became a flat surface without damaging any teeth. When he substituted a crab for the glass, the same thing happened. All of the teeth bent backward, each row overlapping the row behind it. The folded teeth could make a flat surface for crunching a crab's tough shell. Once Ramsay released the pressure, the shark's teeth sprang back up.
Ramsay, who works as a maintenance man at Winman Jr. High School in Warwick, plans to continue his research as a doctorate candidate in the fall and has already been approached for post-doctoral work.
Sharks aren't Ramsay's only expertise. In addition to being a crackerjack scientist, he is an artist extraordinaire, according to his professor. Ramsay earned an associate's degree in art from the Community College of Rhode Island. His work includes anatomical illustrations of sharks and their jaws, which adorn the windows of Wilga's lab.

An Episiotomy is a surgical incision in the perineum (the area of skin between the vagina and the anus). It is the equivalent to a 2nd degree tear. Episiotomies are said to speed up the birth by up to 20 minutes.
What are some circumstances that would require an episiotomy?
An episiotomy may be needed for any one or more of the following reasons:
- Your baby is in distress
- You need a forcep assisted delivery
- Your baby is in a breech presentation and there is a complication during delivery
- There is a tear that is starting to go up into the peri-urethral area
How is an episiotomy performed?
If you have already had an epidural, you will probably not need any further anesthetic. Otherwise, a local anesthetic in your perineum, known as a pudendal block, may be necessary.
The mediolateral cut is angled down, away from the vagina and the perineum, into the muscle. The midline cut is performed by cutting straight down into the perineum, between the vagina and anus.
How can I prevent the need to have an episiotomy?
The following are preventive measures to lessen the chances of needing this surgical incision:
- Good nutrition (healthy skin stretches more easily!)
- Kegels (exercise for your pelvic floor muscles)
- Choose a provider with a low episiotomy rate
- Perineal Massage
- Optimal positioning during delivery
- A slowed second stage of labor where pushing is controlled
- Warm compresses and support during delivery
Can episiotomies be harmful?
The following are potential side effects of an episiotomy:
- Pain
- Infection
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- Extended healing time
- Painful scar which may necessitate a period of abstinence from sexual intercourse.
What are some pain relief options for episiotomies and tears?
If you have an Episiotomy, or tearing, you may want to try some of the following to help ease the pain.
- Cold packs to the perineum. Ask your health care provider about special maxi pads that have cold packs built in.
- Take a sitz bath. Portable baths that you place over a toilet to let warm water cover the wound.
- Use medication such as Tucks.
- Use a personal lubricant, such as KY Jelly when you resume sexual intercourse.
- Wash with a squirt bottle instead of wiping after using the bathroom. Pat dry, instead of wiping can also help.
What if I want to avoid having an episitomy?
Clearly state on your pre-admit paperwork at the hospital, that you wish an episiotomy not be done unless absolutely necessary.

BIO 2005 is the world's largest biotechnology gathering and over 18,000 biotech executives, investors, journalists, policymakers and scientists from more than 60 countries are expected to attend.The University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Eastern Kentucky University, Kentucky State University, Northern Kentucky University and Western Kentucky University will showcase the commonwealth's niche capabilities and opportunities in bio/life sciences."Among our goals are to attract life science businesses, researchers and entrepreneurs to Kentucky and mobilize additional venture capital investment in the commonwealth," said Dr. Allyson Handley, senior advisor for economic initiatives to Governor Ernie Fletcher and Dr. Thomas Layzell, president of the Council on Postsecondary Education."Bio/life science business development won't happen overnight, but it will happen," stated Handley. "The Governor is committed to fostering and developing expanded commercialization ventures and our postsecondary education system, which is a critical partner in the creation of knowledge economy enterprises, is actively engaged."Wendy Baldwin, executive vice president for research at UK, said the conference is important to UK."The University of Kentucky has so many researchers working in the biotech arena and BIO has become an important meeting for UK to talk about the outstanding work being done," she said.University of Kentucky President Lee T. Todd Jr. echoed Baldwin's comments, "BIO is a great meeting ground for our researchers and industry."Our mission is not just to do research," added Todd, "but to make sure that wherever possible that research actually leads to concrete outcomes that improve people's lives and helps grow the economy of the Commonwealth."James R. Ramsey, president of the University of Louisville, noted, "The BIO 2005 conference gives us the opportunity to learn about the latest research, technology and companies that can contribute to our efforts to build the life sciences industry and the quality of life in Louisville."This event also enables us to show the world the outstanding research we're doing in Louisville. And it helps us show that Louisville and the commonwealth are ideal locations for such research efforts and for the companies and other economic development opportunities they bring with them," added Ramsey.
The biotech sector is a natural fit for postsecondary education, explained Handley. Close to 50 percent of the CEOs in this sector possess doctoral degrees and more than 80 percent of the sector's corporate officers hold doctoral credentials.For more information regarding the conference, visit the 2005 BIO conference Web site.
###Kentucky's postsecondary education system encompasses eight public institutions and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, numerous independent institutions and Kentucky Adult Education. The system represents 231,612 students, 538,866 Kentucky alumni and 294,896 GED recipients. When Kentuckians earn postsecondary degrees, their skills improve and their wages go up; they are more likely to lead healthy lives and be engaged in their communities; and they build better futures for themselves and their families.

Maybe you think the newspaper or its editor have taken it to far by printing someone's opinion.
In recent weeks I've heard some mumbling to that effect.
My response has to be that I would no more deny publication of a letter to the editor than I would ask a librarian to remove a book from the shelf.
There is the exception of libel and good taste with regards to letters.
There are a few rules, but we try to limit those.
The proposed 14 percent pay increase for recreation director Rick Chasteen was voted down last week by the Cynthiana-Harrison County Recreation Board, but not before long-time board chairman Dr. Rick Arnold walked away.
On the agenda for the special meeting was the reappointment of long-expired board members. Arnold's term expired two years ago. When Cynthiana Mayor Steve Moses announced that Arnold had been reappointed, Arnold swiftly noted that he had not been reappointed in two years.
"It's not exactly a vote of confidence," Arnold said.

The first step you can take in protecting your children in the car is to buckle them up. Riding unrestrained or improperly restrained in a car is the single greatest risk factor for death and injury for children.
All 50 states require child safety seats, but restraints may vary by age, weight, and height among states. You can find out what each state requires at the Governors Highway Safety Association website.
Here are some tips that will help you keep your tot safe in the car.
When a car seat is correctly installed and used, it can reduce the risk of death for infants and toddlers.
Make sure you have the right car seat for your child's age and size. Each type of seat will have different height and weight recommendations, so it is important to carefully read the product information provided with your car seat. A certified child passenger (CPS) technician can help with your selection. Visit the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
website to search for a technician in your area.
Another point to consider is your car. Most cars made after 2002 are equipped with the LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) attachment system, which offers additional protection. Check with your car dealer if you have questions.
Types of Car Seats
The following list provides a general outline for appropriate use by type of car seat. Keep in mind that the manufacturer's guidelines for each seat can differ even within a particular category of seats:
Once the child has reached the recommended height and age, the regular seat belt can be used. It is important that both the lap and the shoulder belts are properly positioned. In addition:
Children under 13 years of age should still ride in the rear seats of the vehicle.
Remember to be a good role model for your children. Always wear your seat belt and make sure your children know that your attention must be on the road and not them. Consider bringing along some soft toys to keep them occupied. Not all accidents can be prevented but these safety steps will help create the best outcome possible.

These tart and tangy Cranberry Bars are one of my favorite treats. I've been craving cranberries lately and this gluten free dessert more than hits the spot when it comes to mouth puckering goodness.
I first made these Cranberry Bars as a tart. That was before Robyn and her children came over to have an afternoon of baking with us last week; she suggested making this as a bar, so it would more readily make an on-the-go type snack. Robyn is an absolute genius on so many levels.
With a protein packed pecan crust and anti-oxidant rich cranberry topping this tangy treat is good for Christmas parties, Thanksgiving dessert, your child's lunch or an on the run bite.
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 5 dates (remove pits)
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or palm shortening
- ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 6 cups fresh cranberries, picked over (discard bad ones)
- 1 cup agave nectar or honey
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- Place pecans and dates in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground
- Pulse in oil and salt until mixture begins to form a ball
- Press crust into a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish
- Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes until lightly browned
- To make cranberry topping, place 4 cups cranberries, agave and orange zest in a pot on the stove
- Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer 10-15 minutes, until cranberries start to dissolve
- Add remaining 2 cups cranberries and cook covered for 5 more minutes
- Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes
- Pour mixture over pecan crust
- Allow bars to set in refrigerator for 60-90 minutes
- Serve
After further testing, the texture of this recipe can be best described as more of a crumble than a bar. Same healthy ingredients and delicious taste –you just might want to have a fork and extra napkins handy.
Have fun with this versatile delicious gluten free dessert that has fall written all over it.
I was so happy to be asked by blogs.com to list 10 Gluten Free Blogs. Of course, this was far from an easy decision. If you are a gluten free blogger and I did not mention you, please leave a comment below with a link to your site so that we can all check out your gluten free offerings.
Coincidentally, the lovely Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen also created a list of gluten free blogs for blogher.com. Kalyn's list is excellent and, like everything she does, it is well researched and very detailed.
We are buried in snow here today and school was canceled –it's been snowing for 20 hours straight and we have accumulated feet, not inches. I've been cozying up with my gluten free cookbook (The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook) for a good part of the day baking cookies while the boys build snow caves and sled down our street. Feels like Christmas is here already!

All Meters Now SFpark-Ready — More Demand-Based Parking Pricing to Come
The SFMTA recently upgraded all of SF's 29,000 parking meters to "smart meters" that are enabled for demand-based price changes throughout the day, a la SFpark. Now, the SFMTA plans to expand its smart pricing program that has curbed car traffic to more existing meters.
"SFpark showed that demand-based pricing can improve parking availability without increasing double parking, congestion, or parking citations," said SFMTA spokesperson Paul Rose. "Our next challenge is to figure out the right mix of pricing and real-time information to make SFpark work in every neighborhood in the city. We'll be working with stakeholders to find a win-win that creates less frustration, smarter travel choices, and fewer citations for every neighborhood."
Under SFpark, the SFMTA has used "demand-responsive" pricing at about a quarter of the city's meters since 2011. During a two-year pilot phase, the federally-funded program proved that by adjusting prices to demand, enough parking spaces could be made available to eliminate the need to circle for a spot.
Once the SFpark pilot phase ended, the in-ground sensors used to measure parking occupancy were shut down. But the SFMTA can still measure occupancy using the smart meters, albeit with slightly less accuracy, since they transmit payment data.
By all measures, SFpark successfully proved Professor Donald Shoup's theory. At the meters included in the program, cruising for a spot was cut was cut by 30 percent, and meter-related parking tickets cut by 23 percent, according to the SFMTA's report. Average on-street meter rates dropped by 4 percent, and double parking dropped 22 percent (compared to 5 percent in control areas).

I've been asked how to find the RSS feed for Blogger a few times now. It's a handy thing to know because with the RSS feed address, you can link Facebook notes and Blogger content which allows you to connect your content to a larger audience. Finding the RSS feed address in Blogger is a little frustrating. I clicked around settings for a while to find it myself. It's not exactly something that everyone needs or wants to know, but when you do it would be really nice if it was obvious and immediately available. The ATOM URL used to be listed there. Finally I poked around in the help files and discovered how to construct the URL in Blogger to get the RSS feed for my blog.
To find out how to get the RSS code for Blogger yourself, just watch the video below and you'll see how to do it for your own blog.
According to Google / Blogger, here are the special addresses they've provided for blog users.
Full site feed:
- Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
- RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Comments-only feed:
- Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
- RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss
Label-specific site feed:
- Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default/-/labelname
- RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss/-/labelname
Individual post comment feed:
- Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/postId/comments/default
- RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/postId/comments/default?alt=rss
RSS feeds from Blogger seem to provide clean code. This is a good thing too because I don't know of any clean RSS widget for Blogger.

Experienced and focused, attorney Robert J. Anderson wants you to get as much information on your legal case right away. In our Library you will find articles on premises liability (slip and fall) cases, on the particularities of bicycle, car, motorcycle and truck accidents, on common causes of accidents and sustained injuries and many more.
On a day to day basis, you get out of bed, shower, get ready, grab some coffee and a granola bar, get in the car, and rush off to work. You don't really think about whether your vehicle is going to work or not (or whether the vehicle on the road next to you is working properly); you just stick the key in, turn it, and go. To be completely safe in a vehicle and to lessen your chances of getting involved in a Colorado Springs car crash, you must maintain your car.
Most often you should take your car to an auto shop where it can be thoroughly checked out. The more complicated check-ups involve the engine or drive train, exhaust system, lubricating and cooling systems, suspension systems, steering, and braking systems, as well as changing the oil, adjusting tire pressure, and rotating tires.
However, there are some simple checks you can do yourself on a weekly or monthly basis. This involves checking the tire pressure and engine oil levels, listening for any foreign vehicle noises while you drive like squeaky brakes, and feeling for any different or strange vibrations in the car while you're driving.
In Colorado, approximately 42% of vehicles on the road have defective tires or incorrect tire pressure. Oil levels and drive belts are a problem for approximately 29% of vehicles, and there are even drivers who operate vehicles with lights that don't work properly. With these statistics, you can see that maintaining your vehicle is a necessity to avoid potential accidents. A well-maintained vehicle is a safe vehicle.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a Colorado car crash, contact an experienced Colorado Springs injury attorney today at (866) 254-1274.

CASNR Distinguished & Young Alumni Awards honor seven standout alums
Texas Tech University's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources honored six distinguished alumni on Monday (Feb. 10) at the university's McKenzie Merket Alumni Center. The Distinguished & Young Alumni Awards honor alumni who've made significant contributions to society, and whose accomplishments and careers have brought distinction to the college and to the professions associated with agriculture and natural resources.
In addition, university officials recognized the CASNR Young Alumni Award, said Jane Piercy, CASNR's Director of Development and External Relations. The recipient of the 2014 Young Alumnus Award is Drew DeBerry, the Texas Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture. He received his bachelor's degree in agricultural and applied economics from Tech in 2000.
The recipients of this year's Distinguished Alumni Awards are:
- Jackie Smith of Lubbock, professor and extension economist for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Services. Agricultural Economics (1971)
- Zachary Brady of Lubbock, founder of Brady & Hamilton, Attorneys and Counselors. Agricultural Communications (1995)
- Hugo Irizarry of Fort Collins, Col., head of ground beef and trim operations for JBS-USA. Meat Science (MA 1985)
- Pamela Hefner of Austin, project manager for Austin's Economic Development Department. Landscape Architecture (1983)
- Kent Ferguson of Valley Mills, NRCS State Rangeland Management Specialist. Range Management (1977)
- David Kirby of Dana Point, Ca., vice president of sales for Monrovia. Horticulture (1993)
Piercy noted that the measure of a college's distinction and influence depends greatly upon the achievements of its alumni and the positions they attain in their respective communities and fields of endeavor. The awards were established to recognize some of the college's most outstanding alumni.
The awards do more than honor former students, Piercy added. They spotlight accomplishments of the college, Texas Tech and, ultimately it enhances the pride of alumni, students, faculty and staff. It's tangible evidence of the effectiveness of agricultural and natural resource programs at Texas Tech, she said.

Blu-ray Review: 'Night of the Demons - Collector's Edition'
Ready to attend a dark party hosted by Angela once more? Then follow us as we check out the Blu-ray release of 1988's "Night of the Demons – Collector's Edition" out now from Shout! Factory's horror division Scream Factory. The party and the bloody favors within get reviewed below!
Title: "Night of the Demons – Collector's Edition"
Grade: 3 1/2
Cast: William Gallo, Amelia Kinkade, Linnea Quigley
Director: Kevin S. Tenney
Rating: Unrated
Runtime: 90 minutes
Release Company: Shout! Factory Home Entertainment
Website: www.shoutfactory.com
The Flick: I can't say that the heavy B-movie cheese of "Night of the Demons" holds up one hundred percent, but there are some tasty bits within the party walls. Director Kevin S. Tenney got the best 80's nudity for sure so there's some unforgettable underskirt shots via scream queen legend Linnea Quigley and others, there's a hot dance via Amelia Kinkade, not to mention some very tasty and gross-out effects courtesy of Steve Johnson. Yes there are dull and predictable parts, bad 80's clichés and characters right out of the stereotype hall of fame, but for some horror nostalgia this night has some life left in it.
Best Feature: As with all Scream Factory releases the amazing and comprehensive features on this disc outshine the film itself and all are stellar – from the very listenable two 'Commentary Tracks' to 'Interviews' with everyone involved. (Kinkade is the niece of Golden Girl Rue McClanahan!)
Best Hidden Gem: Love seeing any work by icon Linnea Quigley and here you get to see it all - thong, creepy lipstick all over her face and various crazed moments!
Worth the Moola: Worth a walk down memory lane for this B-movie outing – but beware as fromage is on the menu!

Ben Hennig named as one of 50 'ones to watch' in the North of England in 2011
The Institute of Public Policy Research North (ippr north) has just released Northern Lights 2011 Top 50, celebrating the brightest and most talented people from the worlds of business, science and technology, academia, public service, politics, culture, the arts and social and community action from across the North of England.
Amongst those 50 is Ben Hennig, a Postgraduate researcher with the SASI (Social and Spatial Inequalities) Group in the department. Ben's Northern Lights citation reads:
Benjamin works with the highly respected Professor Danny Dorling at the Social and Spatial Inequalities Group. The group conducts interdisciplinary research that contributes to an evidence base for policy development aimed at reducing social inequalities. Benjamin's research focuses on global and national visualisations of topics related to contemporary issues, a number of which have already been released to the public eye, such as the striking visualisations of the UK and US elections. Benjamin is certainly one to watch over the next few years as he completes his PhD research and, together with Danny Dorling, works on a book project on world population, due out in 2012.
Ed Cox, director of ippr north, said:
"The North is choc full of talent. Our Northern Lights list shines the spotlight on upcoming stars from politics to poetry, from Liverpool to Lindisfarne. We want to celebrate the best and boldest and shirk any notion of it being grim up North. We think the North should be leading, not pleading, its way to renewed prosperity and so we must develop and hold on to the talented individuals who can lead the Northern renaissance."
You can find out full details of Ben's work, SASI, and the ippr north's Northern Lights Top 50 by following the links in the top-right of the page.

A powerful, moving speech by American civil rights icon Vernon E. Jordan, Jr. capped off a successful 37th convocation ceremony for the LBJ School on May 17 in the Bates Recital Hall. Eighty-two graduates were on stage to hear Jordan cite President Johnsons strides for civil rights in the face of overwhelming opposition as an exemplar for the graduates to follow in their own careers in public service. The commencement ceremonies also included awards for students Hilary Aten, who received the academic award for achieving a 4.0 grade point average, and Michael Hoffman, who was honored with the Redford Award for the best Professional Report. A moment of silence was observed in memory of Dean Elspeth Rostow and Lady Bird Johnson, both of whom passed away in the past year. Ian T. Brown presented remarks on behalf of the class, while the GPAC Commencement Committee Co-Chairs Jennifer Crow and Ari Witkin announced that the Class of 2008 had raised nearly $25,000 for their gift to the School supporting the Elspeth Rostow Memorial Graduate Fellowship.
Congratulations to all our graduates!! For pictures and the video of the ceremony, visit the convocation web site at: http://lbj.utexas.edu/news/spring2008/commencement.php
Led by LBJ School Research Associate Dougald Macmillan II, a contingent of 25 students visited the 1st "Ironhorse" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood on April 8. The students toured a number of the routine training sites to learn how soldiers hone their basic skills, including Humvee roll-over drill training and the Engagement Skills Trainer 2000. Students shared "chow" and conversed with several soldiers from the brigade about their experiences in Iraq and what it means to be a soldier. "My knowledge of the military comes from what the media portrays; there is no better way to know what a soldier is all about than talking to them first hand," said LBJ School Student Michelle Lalonde. MacMillan, himself a retired Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Army, began organizing the trips to expose LBJ School students to soldiers and the military to aid in their future careers in public service.
A $1 million donation from the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Foundation will create an endowed Bernard and Audre Rapoport Professorship in Health and Social Policy at the LBJ School. Widely known for his philanthropy and dedication to social justice, education, and health and human services organizations, Rapoport, who has long been influential in Texas politics, is the founder of the American Income Life Insurance Company in Wacoa member of the LBJ Foundation Board of Trustees, and a former University of Texas System Regent "Bernards generosity only strengthens the LBJ School's commitment to health and social policy," said Dean of the LBJ School, James B. Steinberg. "He deserves our most sincere thanks for his and Audres generosity." In appreciation of the Rapoport's generosity, the LBJ School and the LBJ Library and Museum recently hosted a dinner in their honor. In attendance were the Honorable Ben Barnes, former Lt. Governor of Texas; the Honorable Lyndon Olson, former Ambassador to Sweden and a former Congressman from Texas; and Larry Temple, President of the LBJ Foundation.
