Spacious Bristol Victorian new to market
This sprawling 1850 Victorian at 51 Church Street, a little more than a block from the shores of Bristol Harbor, retains many its original architectural details. But with a new chef's kitchen, abundant storage including a three-car detached garage, and expansive master suite, the comfort and livability of this home is decidedly 21st-century.
With 12 rooms and five bedrooms over more than 4,000 square feet, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom, this is a wonderful property for a large family. It would also be perfect for a small one that doesn't mind a lot of houseguests—something that's virtually guaranteed in this downtown location between the two streets that showcase Bristol's famed Fourth of July Parade.
Church Street is a residential street. Yet it is right in the center of Bristol's National Register Historic District, surrounded by other well-maintained historic homes, and just around the corner from one of the busiest shopping blocks in town. Most of Bristol's fabulous restaurants and museums are located a stone's throw away. This home would be a perfect base for anyone who appreciates the marriage of downtown convenience with small-town charm.
Recreational opportunities are right outside your door. Whatever your craft of choice, you can be launching on Bristol Harbor within minutes. The almost-15-mile-long East Bay Bike Path begins about a half mile from Church Street, and clay tennis courts are only a half block to the east, on the historic Bristol Town Common. Colt State Park, at over 400 acres, is a tremendous wide open space less than a mile to the north with frontage on Narragansett Bay, and to the east, beyond the Common, you'll find Mount Hope Farm, with fields and forest that stretch to the Bay of the same name.

Second Gen SRX Gas Fill
Any with with this problem of having to hold fill nozel up and not being able to use the auto fill and the constant clicking off. After 1 year of trips to correct at Crest Cadillac Plano Tx.and calls to Cadillac Motor Co. to a point of Cadillac finally admiting they have corrected the 2011 production but it was not possible to correct my Wifes 2010 SRX with the 2011 parts. Crest Cadillac then said they would get back with me and try to fix the problem, 4 weeks no response from Crest. Then my wife got gas doused while filling, we then decided to trade it off for a Lexus SUV, before as a last resort we went to Sewell Cadillac in Dallas as they are also a Lexus dealer in the same area. I explained the problem, the service writer could not be more understanding, She gave us a new under 1,000 mile CTS no charge, and told us they would have the car till they fixed it. A week later they called and the SRX now can be filled the way cars of the last 55 years I have had. What a class operation Sewell Cadillac is, did not buy it there but treated me like a many year valued customer and fixed a car my selling dealer and Cadillac found impossible. Now I will have them look at the poor Navigation system after that is fixed its no reason to go Lexus if Sewell is the dealer for a American car and a new GMC when my Dura-Max needs replacement. They lost a imediate sale but became my car/truck dealer for life. Its nice to be able to give a story of 100% satisfaction on a car dealer, not one of those fully staisfied surveys the dealers ask you to give them. They make you think if you tell the truth you will never get even your due from them, what a joke.

Re: Second Gen SRX Gas Fill
My 2011 does that too! How did they fix it?
Re: Second Gen SRX Gas Fill
2011 does it? I have been told by owners and Cadillac it was fixed, what was done, don't know, they just told me they changed a part. Go figure but mine is fixed so far, hope it keeps working.
Re: Second Gen SRX Gas Fill
I have heard good things about the Sewell dealerships in Texas on more than one occasion.

Re: Second Gen SRX Gas Fill
Service ticket says "gas filler tube replaced with updated part" Wonder why GM Cadillac division said it could not be done?? Strange.

1. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPABen Rogers Sep 27, 2012 12:49 PM (in response to 964796)Hi,1 person found this helpful
It's tricky to think about a data model without knowing the full requirements, but if you are just designing a POC for now then I think you can demonstrate a good working model of this system.
There are many ways to do this I'm sure... but here is my two cents...it's difficult to explain it on here in plain text but I'll give it a shot.
data model:
the product (contained by global. to many.)
--the product type (base, static)
--the product's cheapest price (inferred, possibly temporal)
--the product's cheapest store name (inferred, possibly temporal)
the store (contained by global. to-many.)
--the store name (base, static)
the price (contained by the store, to-many.)
--the price's product (base, static)
--the price's amount (base, static)
--the price's store name (inferred, static)
if you want to make the prices temporal otherwise leave out:
--the price's start date (base, static)
--the price's end date (base, static)
the quantity (contained by the store. to-many.)
-- the quantity's product (base, static)
-- the quantity's amount (base, static)
Finally, it might be convenient to have the following:
the order (contained by global. to-many.)
--the order number (base, static) etc...
the ordered item (contained by the order. to-many.)
--the ordered item quantity (base, static)
--the ordered item product type (base, static)
This should be a good base model and should be flexible enough to demo pretty much everything. It is especially powerful because it allows for prices to be temporal. Store prices go up and down all the time, and this data model could easily handle that. It could give you the cheapest price on a given order date...(if orders were backdated, or scheduled for a future date)...but it may be best to keep the POC simple for now...
Some other ideas based on your requirements...
There are many ways of doing this, but here is one idea:
Create an inferred relationship between the prices and the product (linked by product type) - "the product's prices"
You can work out the product's cheapest price by doing something like:
the product's cheapest price = InstanceMin(the product's prices, the price's amount)
the product's cheapest store name = InstanceValueIf(the product's prices, the price's store name, the price's amount = the product's cheapest price)
using "the order" and "the ordered item" allows you to handle things like quantities of products, and totalling up the entire order etc.
you can also add extra layers around availability... so the cheapest price is only selected IF that store also has the product available.
The main difficulty I can predict with this is around the availability and a potential loop (i.e. the order is only approved if there are products available, and products available = availability minus the approved orders.)...that would need some careful design and consideration and beyond the scope of a forum post!
So, some ideas there.
It's well worth investing a LOT of thought and time into this sort of data model, and think about every possible requirement up-front, because a poorly designed OPA data model can very quickly become restrictive and a real problem. But a good, flexible model can make seemingly complex calculations very simple with a small number of rules.
Hope it helps.
Feel free to contact me further should you need more assistance.
2. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPAMatt Sevin-Oracle Sep 27, 2012 5:16 PM (in response to Ben Rogers)Going roughly with Ben's data model, I'd suggest starting to draft some of the conclusions you would like to reach. For example:1 person found this helpful
- the line item should be filled by the store if ...
(e.g. the store has the lowest price for the line item's product and the store's inventory of the product > the ordered amount, etc.) of course you also need to decide whether you want to partially fill a line item from a store and only if it has a lower price than another store or if two or more stores have the same lowest use the store with the highest inventory etc. etc. ... there is much to consider from a policy perspective, so it's best if you know or can obtain the actual fulfillment policies. Other considerations for robustness include whether you are enforcing assumptions with error conditions or not making assumptions within your policies (e.g. can two line items on the order be for the same product or is that considered an error that should be captured and rejected as an order?)
Other suggestions include
- Choose terminology that is explicit an obvious to readers (especially if no fulfillment policies exist and you are defining the terms). For example: the line item's product which is a relationship to a product and distinct from "the product" entity - in other words "the product" is an entity that can be related to a line item and also to "a inventoried item" as in a line item relates a product and a quantity to a specific order and "a inventoried item" relates the product, a quantity in inventory and a price to a specific store. As Ben mentions, there are other ways to model, but making well considered decisions and using clear, well defined terminology will make everything a bit easier.
- Break down the policies into intermediate conclusions as you write the policies rather than trying to use a single final conclusion (although starting with a final conclusion will help to begin drafting many of the conditions) For example: a line item can be filled by an inventoried item if the inventoried item's quantity > ... and the inventoried item has the lowest price and they both reference the same product, etc.; separately determine if the inventoried item "has the lowest price" (boolean attribute) by comparing it to other "inventoried items" for the same product.
Please note the above examples are not using specific rule syntax. I am assuming you are well practiced in using and familiar with the syntax for cross-entity reasoning, deducing inferred relationships, etc.) If not, my best advice is to engage the assistance of an experienced OPA consultant to greatly lower the learning curve and expedite the design and implementation of the rulebase.
3. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA964796 Sep 28, 2012 6:49 AM (in response to Ben Rogers)Thanks a lot Ben for the post. I will definitely get back to you.
4. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA964796 Oct 16, 2012 6:58 PM (in response to 964796)Hi, I'm have some issues figuring out inferred relationships.
In the messages above, when you say:
Create an inferred relationship between the prices and the product (linked by product type) - "the product's prices"
How do I do that? Any specific rules or code here would be greatly appreciated!
5. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPAMatt Sevin-Oracle Oct 16, 2012 8:03 PM (in response to 964796)Sticking with Ben's model, I would assume the product and the prices of the product would be related through regular (not inferred) relationship. (e.g. the price's product would be a one to one relationship that arrives as incoming data, not inferred by rules).1 person found this helpful
However, if you are pursuing a rule that infers the relationship, the rule would follow the format
the product is a member of the price's product if
the product's SKU number = the price's SKU number
Note in the above that SKU number would be a numeric attribute of each of the price and product entities. That numeric attribute is used to define when a specific price instance should be related (inferred relationship) to a specific product instance.
6. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA964796 Oct 16, 2012 9:42 PM (in response to Matt Sevin-Oracle)That makes better sense. Thanks for the quick response Matt! Following this, I'm trying this:
the store is a member of the line item's stores if
ExistsScope(all instances of the inventory record for the store)
the inventory record's product name = the line item's product name
I'm using a slightly different and simpler model right now ("the line item" and "the store" at global, the store contain's "the inventory record" entities). the line item's stores is a Many to Many relationship on the line item to the store. I'm probably doing something wrong here but when I try to compile this rule, I get this error:
Ambiguous entity for 'the store is a member of the line item's stores' (the store, the line item) (OPA-E00344).
7. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPAMatt Sevin-Oracle Oct 17, 2012 3:40 PM (in response to 964796)The following should work:1 person found this helpful
the store is a member of the line item's stores if
....for at least one of the store's inventory records
........the inventory record's product name = the line item's product name
The ambiguous entity error makes me think you have something else going on in your policy model or rule example. For example, try defining the phrase "the store's inventory records" rather using the default "a instances of ..." for your relationship. Double check the indent levels in your rule (i.e. each line is conclusion, level 1, then level 2 for the example rule).
If you still have an issue, please create a new project with just the three entities, one containment relationship, one inferred relationship and the single rule to verify the problem isn't caused by something else left over from earlier attempts at the model, phrases, or rules etc. If an issue still persists, please post all the details of the simplified project, version of OPA, and any other details that may be relevant. Thanks.
8. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA964796 Oct 18, 2012 7:26 AM (in response to Matt Sevin-Oracle)Thanks Matt! It seems like formatting/indenting was my problem although everything looked like it should be correct. I was randomly messing with some of the styles and suddenly it compiled without any changes so I'll keep an eye on that one.
One additional problem I ran into was with the example above, where the rules try to identify the store with the cheapest price (using InstanceValueIf). When only one store has the cheapest price, this works fine but when there are multiple stores with the cheapest price, it returns Uncertain as that is the behavior defined by InstanceValueIf. I can't seem to find a way to just pick any one of these stores. Any advice on that problem?
9. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPAMatt Sevin-Oracle Oct 18, 2012 4:43 PM (in response to 964796)If you are trying to ship from multiple stores, you will need to infer a strictly ordered list (i.e. one store is most preferred, each subsequent store is the "next more preferred", etc.). A strictly ordered list will require something unique to use as a "tie breaker" when two or more stores have the same price. Typically an ID or some other unique attribute is used.
To directly address your question of picking one store ... the easiest approach is to do something similar since policies/rules are supposed to be deterministic, "random" selection of one store would prove to be problematic in the long run (e.g. predictable test cases, etc.)
Instead of using InstanceValueIf to identify the cheapest price, use InstanceMinimum to get the lowest price regardless of how many stores have that price. To identify a single store, decide which attribute will be used as a tie breaker (e.g. a numeric ID attribute on the price entity would work in your case). You can then use conditions which identify the price to use as the one which has the minimum ID among those with the minimum price.
10. Re: Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA964796 Oct 23, 2012 4:08 AM (in response to Matt Sevin-Oracle)I finally got it working with the numeric ID attribute. Thanks so much for all your help Matt!

Macquarie backs another listing
Page Tools
Seven years after founding Strike Oil, Simon Ashton and Jim Durrant are hoping to list the $29million Perth explorer on the Australian Stock Exchange with the help of Macquarie Bank.
Strike, which sold its Casino gasfield discovery in Victoria's Otway Basin last year for $23.5million, is hoping to find similarly profitable prospects in the Carnarvon Basin off West Australia and South Australia's Cooper Basin at a time of near-record oil prices.
For its part, Macquarie will probably settle for a smoother run than its last resources public offering, CH4 Gas.
Like CH4, a $100 million coal bed methane group based in Brisbane, Macquarie's private equity operations bought into Strike Oil during its formative years, paying about $5 million for a 20 per cent stake in 1998.
And, as in CH4, Macquarie Direct Investment director David Wrench will be a director of the newly listed company and, like it did from CH4, Macquarie Equities will earn fees as float broker.
Macquarie sold CH4 to new investors at $1.25 a share but annoyed most of them shortly after the April listing when one of its analysts proved Chinese walls were alive and well at Martin Place and issued a report valuing the company between 53c and 78c a pop.
The stock has yet to recover, closing at 79c on Friday.
Strike Oil is drilling for conventional gas and oil, meaning it is a completely different type of exploration play, but Mr Ashton and Mr Durrant are no doubt hoping lightning doesn't strike twice.
The former WMC Petroleum executives are pitching the float around a handy track record, which, in the case of Casino, has already netted existing shareholders considerable returns.
Strike identified the Casino acreage, farmed in Santos, and drilled the discovery well, before selling its interest to AWE and Mitsui for a $20 million return.
Strike hopes to replicate this success with some prospects it has identified in the prolific Carnarvon and Cooper-Eromanga Basins, where it hopes to become one of several explorers, such as Innamincka Petroleum, making the most of the expiry of Santos's exploration licenses in 1999.
The cost of exploring areas with established infrastructure is relatively low, and Strike hopes to use modern exploration techniques to identify prospects that may have been missed.
The timing is certainly right, with oil trading near the $US40 a barrel mark and prices expected to remain high.
The company is offering up to 60 million new shares at 20c each, representing 42 per cent of issued capital and valuing the company at $28.9 million.
None of the shareholders are selling down but Macquarie's stake dilutes to 12 per cent and metals group Perilya ends with a 20 per cent stake.
Mr Durrant and Mr Ashton will hold about 9 per cent.

I did start going thru the shipment, but the warehouse crew was really involved with sorting Lee-Enfield parts so I will have more help on Friday.
My goal is to get some, maybe all three basic part sets listed on Friday/Saturday.
I cannot reuse any of my old kit photos as these were much nicer condition to start with and are all blued, no black paint.
We never had MK5 STEN kits before, so I am having fun learning all the details of those guns.

A couple of days ago, I'd just have said heck, let's move ext3 to an ac kernel because we'll need to support that new quota code eventually anyway (it's the only way to do quotas with 32-bit uids). Except now we've got a _new_ thing to merge in --- the dirs-in-page-cache --- which is only in the Linus tree. However, it looks as if the dir changes are pretty localised in ext2, so we can choose when to move those into ext3 without caring about which tree we are in. So is it worth moving the tree to *ac to fix the quota issues? Or at least maintaining that as a branch? --Stephen

Interconnector could cost Enemalta its monopoly, former manager warns
Enemalta could lose its monopoly on electricity supply because of the interconnector with Sicily, former Enemalta manager John Pace has warned.
Writing in The Times today, he says that the interconnector with Sicily could persuade the European Commission to lift a derogation granted in 2006 which granted Enemalta a monopoly on electricity supply.
In all other EU countries, consumers can choose from whom to buy their electricity.
"The justification for this derogation was that Malta is a small isolated system and less than five per cent of the annual electricity consumption is obtained through interconnections with other systems," Mr Pace observed.

The Crown is appealing a Court of Queen's Bench decision that found former Saskatchewan foster mother Eunice Wudrich not guilty of criminal negligence causing death earlier this month.
The Court of Appeal confirms a statement was filed Tuesday afternoon.
The statement claims Justice Neil Gabrielson "erred at law as to what constitutes wanton or reckless disregard for the life or safety of Evander Lee Daniels."
The 22-month-old boy was one of five foster children living with the Wudrich's when he drowned in a bathtub on June 8, 2010.
In his decision, Gabrielson ruled the Crown did not prove Wudrich knew there was a risk of bodily harm when she left Evander in two inches of bathwater.
A date has not been set for when the appeal will be heard.

Just got the car and as you can see already having trouble. So I'm driving to work on the expressway and all of a sudden check engine light turns on. No big deal I thought so I go get it scanned code p2181 comes out cooling system performance. They ask if I have ran the car hot and I'm like no I just got it. Plus how can I tell also if there's no temperature gauge. So we reset it and all is good until today again I'm going to work and turns on again. Have any of you had this happen especially with a practically new car. The car has 76,+miles.

I have done quite a bit of volunteering for various animal/pet causes, and I have to say Paws Animal Wildlife Sanctuary is amazing! Mac Curry, the founder, has such a passion for wildlife that it is contagious--of course, those of us who volunteer are already dedicated animal lovers. Mac's number one priority is the safety of the animals, and makes sure volunteers understand the importance in keeping the stress level as low as possible for the wild creatures in her care. No one is "turned loose" and told to do a task that they have not been thoroughly, hands on and supervised, trained to do. This protects our safety as volunteers, but also protects the animals from injury and undue stress. I began volunteering with Paws about 2 years ago, as a face painter to help with fundraising at our booths for events. I make handmade jewelry and sell some at our booths to help with fundraising as well. I have learned so much just from listening to Mac and our more experienced volunteers talk about the animals and what Paws does to help them, answering questions asked by the public. We bring only non-releasable animals to public events, and Mac pays close attention to their body language to assure that no one is kept on display too long to tire the animals or stress them too much. Volunteers are trained how to properly handle the animals, and we keep the animals out of reach of the public. As I have learned more and become comfortable with the wildlife in our care, and Mac has become more trusting of me--and she has learned I can follow instructions--I have gotten to experience the thrill of holding Emmett, our screech owl, and two of our hawks for public events. I live too far from the sanctuary to be able to help out there as often as I'd like, but love spending the day out there doing whatever I can do to help. I've helped with cleaning projects and organizing materials, laundry and feeding. I love getting to see the animals that are just coming in and hear their stories and learning of their progress. Of course not all the stories have happy endings, but so many do! It really is a bright spot in my life to be a part of this awesome organization!
Mac is absolutely AMAZING!! We run a pig rescue and have learned so much from her. We have visited her facility and have never met someone with so much heart for these animals. Not only do she rescue these precious animals but works tirelessly to educate the public on wildlife. She put these animals first and does whatever it takes to put their health and safety first!! Please support this amazing organization!!

Question: Recommendations for Rome and Prague Activities
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who read this thread.
I am seeking opinions and advise. I will be in Rome and Prague in December. I have never been to either of two cities. In each city, I (by myself) will have two full days for sightseeing, eating local food +Beers. What are you recommendations?
Anything you can recommend, please post. :)
Last, I would prefer to spend more time on sightseeing. I will definitely skip the fancy restaurant since I don't have the time and accompany for a 2 hrs sit down dinner. Small, local restaurants are preferred. Thanks for your time! :thumbup:
any recommendations?
Prague is one of our favorite cities in Europe. Our only lodging experience is the Marriott, so can't offer much help there.
Some of the best food in Prague is at small restaurants at least two blocks away from Old Town Square (at about half the cost).
Public transportation is very good and you can travel at a fraction of the cost of London or Zurich. The Prague Castle is very popular, as is the Jewish Quarter. Lots of history and beautiful architecture everywhere. It is a great city to walk, with beautiful parks. The Charles bridge is also a main attraction for tourists.
There are very good walking tours that you can generally just join the morning of the day you want to go. Our experience with tour guides there has been exceptionally good. Most meet at the Clock Tower in the Square.
Prague is an amazing city. I would recommend touring the Prague Castle Complex including walking to the top of the St. Vitus Cathedral. You can then walk to the funicular that takes you to the Petrin Tower for more amazing views of Prague. If you enjoy high end shopping go to Parizska Street which is near the Old Town Square which is also worth checking out. I would also recommend walking across the Charles Bridge. There are some nice restaurants along the river near the bridge that have great views and good food. Make sure wherever you stay has a secured parking garage/lot. Street parking in Prague is highly risky.
Rome must sees:
Collosseum, the Forum, Capitoline Museum, Victor Emmanuel Monument, Pantheon, St.Peters, Vatican Museum (Sistine Chapel Ceiling), Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Villa Borghese.
Really appreciate tdepetra, pawarrant and Trinitony. Your folks are the reasons that I post on bimmerfest. I know i can depend on bimmerfesters.
Capitoline Museum, Victor Emmanuel Monument, Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, Jewish Quarter and Charles Bridge were not on my original research. Now, I will definitely add them to my travel list. :).
If you know other archaeological sites/buildings where I should visit, please add on.
I think one of the best times you are going to have is the drive from Prague to Rome. When you cross over the alps and down through Tuscany. Amazing.
Both cities are great I hope you enjoy :)
Prague is awesome. U Fleku, An Old World Experience at Prague's Oldest Brewery. Kings Castle. Old Town Square. Old Jewish Synagogue and Cemetery.
I recommend this book.
We used during our trip and never get disappointed.
His web site is a good source of information - check this out
Our last visit we take free eng. speaking tour the Forum by students. They give you free day tour and hopping that you take evening 3 hrs walking tour of Rome, witch we did, and it was highlight of our Rome visit.
Vatican and Vatican museum is a must.
Do not take a bus tour offering by your hotel - tourist trap - they take you on all places outside of Rome, nothing to write home about.

The digital sector first emerged more than twenty years ago, and is now an established feature of our society. Today, our world is completely digitalised, from the economy to administration and it even provides a forum for political reform. For example, seven million Americans have so-far enrolled in Obamacare, and they did so online. However, our digital world should not be dominated by one, two or three global players with the power to write the rules and guidelines, and to determine whom should have access.Read more
European Consumers and Digital Entrepreneurs demand ban of Google's manipulative favouring of own services and content.
It's a matter of worldwide importance. The search engine monopolist Google with over 90 percent market share in the European Union manipulates its search results. It promotes its own services and content and downgrades those of competitors, which may be more relevant to consumers' queries. For several reasons, this is unacceptable.
On 12 March of this year, German and French companies and organisations came together in Boulogne-Billancourt, in France, to establish Open Internet Project. This partnership, based in Brussels, aims to defend the European digital sector with political authorities in the European Union, to represent itself at the European Commission, and to mobilise public opinion which is mainly concerned with the omnipotent Google, even if consumers don't quite realise it.See the list of founding members.

Suggested question for Mehlman: Do you really not recall whether you had Sabbath dinner at Jack Abramoff's house?
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman has been inconsistent in his public statements about his relationship to disgraced GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. In recent interviews, CNN's Wolf Blitzer and U.S. News & World Report staff writer Will Sullivan passed up the opportunity to challenge Mehlman about these inconsistencies.
As the scandal surrounding disgraced GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff has inched closer to the White House over the past year, Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Ken Mehlman has offered inconsistent accounts of his relationship with Abramoff. In a January interview, Mehlman described Abramoff as "someone who we don't know a lot about. We know what we read in the paper." In April, however, an RNC spokesperson was quoted conceding that Mehlman had known Abramoff "in various capacities" after emails surfaced suggesting that, as White House political director during Bush's first term, Mehlman had repeatedly been in direct contact with the lobbyist. And when even more details recently came to light regarding the political favors Mehlman allegedly carried out on Abramoff's behalf, Mehlman told the Los Angeles Times that he did not "recall the details of his contacts with the Abramoff team."
But in an October 15 interview with Mehlman, CNN host Wolf Blitzer did not ask him to explain his shifting accounts of his involvement with Abramoff. Further, in the published excerpts of an interview with Mehlman in the October 23 issue of U.S. News & World Report, staff writer Will Sullivan failed even to ask him about his relationship with the lobbyist, as a diarist on the weblog Daily Kos noted.
Following are Mehlman's evolving statements regarding Abramoff:
- In a January interview with freelance journalist A.L. Bardach, Mehlman described Abramoff as "someone who we don't know a lot about. We know what we read in the paper."
- In the April issue of Vanity Fair, contributing editor David Margolick reported that documents obtained by Vanity Fair indicated that Mehlman had done political favors for Abramoff and even attended Sabbath dinner at the lobbyist's house. Margolick quoted Abramoff saying, "Any important Republican who comes out and says they didn't know me is almost certainly lying." The article also noted that a spokesperson for Mehlman responded that he "does not recall the e-mail exchange, 'because he was often contacted by political supporters with suggestions and ideas,' or the Sabbath dinner." RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt subsequently told Reuters that "Jack Abramoff is someone that the chairman has known in various capacities during his time in Washington."
- A September 29 report by the House Committee on Government Reform found that "Abramoff and his colleagues billed their clients for more than 400 contacts with White House officials between 2001 and 2004," as The Washington Post reported. Included in the billing records were 17 contacts with the White House Office of Political Affairs, which Mehlman directed until 2004. The committee noted that Abramoff associate Tony Rudy had described Mehlman as a "rock star" in a November 9, 2001, email to Abramoff, after a meeting "regarding efforts to secure federal funds for the Mississippi Band of the Choctaw Indians." The report further noted that, according to a Department of Justice probe, one White House aide "kept Abramoff aware of information relevant to Guam ... at the behest of Ken Mehlman." In response to the committee's findings, Schmitt asserted that 'it was not unusual'' that Mehlman ''would be in contact with supporters who had interest in administration policy.''
- An October 15 Los Angeles Times article reported that a string of emails from 2001 "suggest" that Mehlman had worked to remove State Department official Allen Stayman at Abramoff's request. The Times reported that the "e-mails show that Abramoff, whose client list included the Northern Mariana Islands, had long opposed Stayman's work advocating labor changes in that U.S. commonwealth, and considered what his lobbying team called the 'Stayman project' a high priority." In an email sent after a meeting with Mehlman, an Abramoff associate reportedly wrote, "Mehlman said he would get him fired." Shortly thereafter, Stayman lost his position in the State Department. According to the article, Mehlman conceded that he had known Abramoff since the mid-1990s, but "said he did not recall the details of his contacts with the Abramoff team."
In his first televised interview since the September 29 House report, Mehlman appeared on the October 15 edition of CNN's Late Edition. During the interview, host Wolf Blitzer noted the allegations in the Times article that Stayman lost his job "after intervention by one of the highest officials at the White House: Ken Mehlman, on behalf of one of the most influential lobbyists in town, Jack Abramoff." Blitzer then asked: "Is that true?" Mehlman responded, "It is not true," adding that he "did not have the authority as the political director to fire anybody" and that he typically "let the policy-makers or the personnel deciders know exactly what people said. And they made the decisions." He further stated, "I also don't recall the specifics of this matter involving Mr. Stayman. But as a matter of course, and certainly in the first term, I had, frequently, people come to see me with political issues they wanted talked about." Blitzer went on to note that the Times quoted "an email from one of Abramoff's associates, as saying, 'Mehlman said he would get him fired.' In response, Mehlman again stated that he "didn't have that authority." Blitzer subsequently changed the subject.
But Blitzer could have asked Mehlman to reconcile his various accounts of his relationship with Abramoff:
- You stated in January that Abramoff was "someone we don't know a lot about" -- that "we know what we read in the paper" -- but have since admitted that you have known him "in various capacities" since the mid-'90s. So by your own admission, your knowledge of him extended beyond what you read "in the paper." How do you explain that discrepancy?
- According to Margolick's reporting in Vanity Fair, documents indicate that you attended Sabbath dinner at Abramoff's house. Margolick quoted a spokesperson saying you don't recall whether you had Sabbath dinner at Abramoff's house. How is that possible? Do you still maintain that you don't remember whether you had Sabbath dinner with Abramoff?
Further, Blitzer could have pressed Mehlman on his response to the Stayman allegations:
- I understand that in your capacity as White House political director you "did not have the authority" to fire Mr. Stayman yourself, only to "let the policy-makers or the personnel deciders know exactly what people said." But the Times article specifically alleges that your "intervention" in the matter led to his firing. Did you convey to anyone in the administration that Abramoff wanted Stayman removed from his State Department post? Did you communicate with anyone in the administration at all about Stayman?
- As the Times noted, Abramoff had "long opposed" Stayman's efforts to extend U.S. labor laws to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Indeed, in a January 31, 1998, email, Abramoff outlined a plan to "impeach Stayman and his campaign against the CNMI." Were you aware of Abramoff's longstanding opposition to Stayman's work?
From the October 15 edition of CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer:
BLITZER: There's a story in the Los Angeles Times today that directly involves you. And I want to give you a chance to respond to it.
It suggests that an official at the State Department was fired, a man named Allen Stayman, who was involved in the tiny Pacific islands nations of the Northern Mariana Islands. He was fired because Jack Abramoff, the disgraced Republican lobbyist, now confessed felon, came to you and basically said, "Fire this guy; he's not allowing the policies in the Northern Mariana Islands that Abramoff and his clients wanted."
"Newly disclosed emails," the L.A. Times reports, "suggest that the ax fell after intervention by one of the highest officials at the White House: Ken Mehlman, on behalf of one of the most influential lobbyists in town, Jack Abramoff."
You were then the political director.
MEHLMAN: I was.
BLITZER: Is that true?
MEHLMAN: It is not true. And I'm not sure that those emails suggested that. First of all, Wolf, I did not have the authority as the political director to fire anybody. It wasn't my decision.
As political director -- now second of all, I also don't recall the specifics of this matter involving Mr. Stayman. But as a matter of course, and certainly in the first term, I had, frequently, people come to see me with political issues they wanted talked about.
BLITZER: Including Jack Abramoff?
MEHLMAN: Or personnel issues that they wanted talked about. And when they would come see me, what I would do is let the decision-makers --
BLITZER: Jack Abramoff, also?
MEHLMAN: Again, I don't recall that specific matter that he came to me for, but I had a way of dealing with all these matters, which was to let the policy-makers or the personnel deciders know exactly what people said. And they made the decisions.
What's interesting about this, though, Wolf, while I don't recall it specifically, I have seen some articles since then, since this came out. And what they suggest is that Mr. Stayman violated the Hatch Act, which is a federal law that prohibits employees of the government engaging in politics on their official clock.
And it also suggests he may have been working with the DNC [Democratic National Committee] on some things. So while I certainly didn't have the authority to fire anybody and I don't recall this specific matter, it does appear, from what other news reports indicate that there was apparently cause for Mr. Stayman to be removed.
BLITZER: Because, in the L.A. Times, it quotes an email from one of Abramoff's associates, as saying, "Mehlman said he would get him fired."
MEHLMAN: Yeah, Mehlman didn't have that authority. Mehlman wouldn't say he had that authority. And remember, you're dealing with individuals who, as we know, have pled guilty to defrauding their clients by saying they did things they weren't able to get done.
As a political director, my job -- and any job of a political director -- is to hear from people, whether it's about personnel or about policy, and make sure that the policy-makers understand their concerns.

In It To Win It And Need YOUR Help
Hey Everyone,
I am really tired today, was on my coaching call with Alex Jeffreys last night until the "wee" small hours and I am feeling it now, yaaaaaawwwwwn.
But I faced a fear.
In the members forum Alex encouraged me to talk on the live call, not about anything in particular, just to talk.
You see on last week's call I had raised my hand to talk, you press a little button on the webinar control panel, and this shows the organizer you have a question to ask.
You go in a queue and when it's your turn the organizer un-mutes your microphone and everyone on the call can hear what you say.
Well the question and answer sections go on for ages and the longer I waited the more nervous I became.
It was much worse than waiting in a dental surgery or waiting to go into a job interview.
My heart was beating so loud I felt like I could hear it in my ears, I went to the toilet 3 times in quick succession and I smoked about 10 cigarettes (filthy habit I know) in a row and I was literally a bag of nerves.
As time ticked by my mind started going blank and I couldn't remember the question I wanted to ask.
I think the reason I got in a such a fluster was because I was scared of making a fool of myself live on the call or saying something that sounded stupid and made me look like an idiot.
I know these coaching calls are recorded and there around 500 students who listen in live or to the replay which added even more pressure.
Funny thing is, people are so eager to jump in on the live calls and ask questions, where as it terrifies me.
Weird how some people are afraid of something, yet others simply take it in their stride.
Anyway, I clicked the little button to lower my hand and my heart rate.
What a wimp!
So last night I was determined to overcome my fear and speak on the call.
Again I went through the ritual of raising my hand and sitting getting myself into a state of fear…
But I done it.
I never said much, just mentioned I was really glad to be part of the coaching community and I hoped we could all help each other become a success online.
There is a writing pad beside me and on it I wrote "YOU DONE IT SALLY BE PROUD".
I felt really happy and next time I might even ask a question, maybe lol.
It's maybe not a big deal to you that I done it, but to me it was a massive deal.
The point I am trying to make is that you should come out of you comfort zone, try new things, push yourself and new doors will open for you.
I know it can be scary and frustrating but just do it and reach new heights.
So back to this call last night…
One thing on the call perked me up from my zombie like state at around 2am.
A competition for myself and the fellow students.
The competition winner will receive a $2000 revamp of their personal blog.
New graphics, new layout, personal theme and basically all the bells and whistles a successful blog should have.
You may have noticed I recently revamped my blog to a new free wordpress theme you can get it for your own blog here:
Free WordPress Flexibility Theme
I installed it in under 30 seconds and my new look blog was live, I am quite pleased with my new blog but not half as pleases as I would be with a shiny new $2000 blog.
The competition:
To drive as much traffic as possible to your blog over the next four weeks.
The rules:
1. You must show proof of your traffic stats on google analytics.
2. You must write blog posts about how you are driving traffic to your blog.
Simple enough.
But I never even had google analytics on my blog, but thankfully Dean Holland has a simple video showing you exactly how to do it:
How To Get Google Analytics on your blog.
So now I have the traffic tracking set up, all I need to do is drive traffic and I need your help, which I will explain at the end of the post.
That shiny new blog has my name written all over it, it just doesn't know it yet.
Last night Alex said that it's not about how big the dog is in the fight, it's about how big the fight is in the dog.
I have a lot of fight in me when I want something.
Sometimes online people think it's ok to just do enough, it's not.
You have to do more than is asked for, you have to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Doing just enough is never enough, you can always do more.
Now Alex said just by entering the competition we will all become winners because:
1. We are using methods to generate traffic that will benefit us for years to come.
2. We get a pdf of everything the winning blog received in it's revamp to apply to our own blog.
3. We get to see how all the other students are generating traffic and can implement these traffic pullers ourselves.
So yes, we will all be winners in that sense.
But I don't know if I am too competitive or not, but I want that $2000 blog.
On the call last night I could tell everyone was so passionate about winning it too, so I have a lot of competition, but competition is healthy, I have never been scared of competition or a challenge.
But one thing, there are coaching students with much bigger subscriber lists than me, and students who already have a big list of joint venture partners they can use so I am already behind in the race before it starts.
I need to catch up and over take them FAST.
Ok, so here is how you can help me…
I need you to post comments telling me any super traffic generating strategies you know that I can use such as:
Links to lists of free forums I can join.
Links to lists of sites I can submit my blog rss feed.
Links to lists of places I can submit my blog for free.
Places I can advertise my blog link such as twitter, facebook or other social media sites.
Basically I need all the help I can get to drive as much traffic as I can to this site for the next four weeks.
I hope you can let me in on some of your traffic generation techniques and help me get that shiny new blog.
In return, I am going to be posting lots of blog posts about all the traffic secrets I discover myself and from watching the other students trying to win the competition.
I will maybe even put it all into a free report for you, so you can learn how to drive a ton of traffic to your own websites.
Even if I don't win I will still get a pdf detailing how the winning blog drove all it's traffic and I will be able to share the methods contained in that with you too.
So c'mon everyone, tell me your traffic generating tips in the comments below and lets see how many visitors I can get to this blog in the next four weeks.
Remember, we can all benefit from this.

We give a name to the class thus formed—carnivora, Rodentia, etc.
They seem to connect together the Ungulata, Rodentia, and Carnivora.
An almost equal degree of doubt obtains with regard to the ancestry of that very compact and well-defined group the Rodentia.
In Rodentia the shoulder girdle is of a rather primitive type.
In the Rodentia there are generally thirteen pairs of ribs, which do not present any marked peculiarities.
Thirdly, the relation of the living Edentata and Rodentia to the extinct species.
All gnawing creatures, belonging to the Glirine or Rodentia order.
The Rodentia, characterised by the development of the incisors, are wanting in Polynesia, and are rare in Australia.
Squirrels are some of the most beautiful of the Rodentia, and chiefly live in trees.
Capybaras belong to the family Caviidae, the leading characteristics of which are given in Rodentia.

James Beard Awards: NYC's 2013 rookie class
Get to know the culinary talent—chefs, restaurateurs and bartenders—repping NYC at the James Beard Awards for the first time this year.
Fri May 3 2013
Photograph: Jakob N. Layman
Danny Bowien, Mission Chinese Food
Nominee: Rising Star Chef of the Year
You were nominated in San Francisco for Rising Star Chef of the Year in 2012, but this is your first New York nod. Where were you when you heard about it?
I was in Charleston and it was insane because I also just heard about the Food & Wine Best New Chefs thing I had been nominated for. It came to me all at once and my initial reaction was 'I don't know how to handle this stuff.'
Do you feel like your cooking has changed since you moved to New York?
Our cooking style is a work in progress. If you look at how we started out two or three years ago, you can see how it's evolved. At the beginning we were coming out of the gate with a lot of really spicy Sichuan stuff. Someone last year said we were neo-Chinese, which was really silly. For lack of a better word, we're fusion. It's a word that's thrown around and gets a really bad rap, but what all chefs are doing today is fusing skill subsets.
You traveled to Sichuan for the first time last year. What did you learn?
I've been to Hong Kong and Beijing before, but never to Chengdu and it was amazing. It made us rethink things. We toned down on the spice. The heat in the States, it translates to most Sichuan restaurants being so spicy. In Sichuan province, it was a gentle heat.
Are there ingredients you like to work with?
We try to be as market-driven as possible, but we also try to stay within a certain price point. I think most chefs will agree with me on this, at the beginning of the season, you're excited about peas and corn and ramps. It's all people talk about because spring is happening. They're awesome, but they're fucking expensive.
You do a lot of shopping in Chinatown, too. Any favorite shops?
There's a really cool place where they do Chinese sausage, cured duck necks, dried scallops and fermented fish. They also do pressed quail and pigeons and we've been using a lot of those for making XO sauce. When you preserve something, it tastes better, they almost get that natural MSG flavor.
After you spend all day tasting and cooking Sichuan food, what are you usually craving?
I like eating sushi a lot. It's quiet and you sit at the bar and people aren't on their cell phones. It's the only place where I can relax. Most restaurants you go to, they have an open kitchen and you see all the cooks cooking and it's very distracting.
If you win, how will you celebrate?
I don't know what I'll do. I'll probably freak out. I think I'll go to Disneyland. Actually, I'll probably celebrate with the cooks and everyone at the restaurant who make it possible for us to be nominated.

Energetic Thunder Ready for Game 2
Over the past two days the Thunder's mood after its Game 1 loss to the Spurs has transformed in a logical manner, from figuring out what it could fix to being excited about the opportunity ahead of it. Head Coach Scott Brooks' team has always exhibited a verve during practice and shootaround sessions, as a team that genuinely enjoys the process of improving.
"We had a great film session yesterday, it showed a lot of things that we could improve on and it showed a lot of things that we did very well," Brooks said. "Today we went over the things we saw yesterday, but we've always been a team that really focused on getting better and using all avenues to improve, whether it's one-on-one individual work, team sessions, film sessions, bigs or smalls sessions, we've always done a good job of improving our team that way."
One area in which the Thunder has shown its focus on finding ways to improve is in bounce-back games. During the regular season the Thunder was 16-3 in games after a loss, and won Game 4 in Los Angeles against the after dropping Game 3 in its 4-1 series defeat of the Lakers. The problem-solving process that the Thunder has in place for analyzing every game, win or lose, is combined with a passion and fire to win every time the team steps on the floor.
"We take pride in what we do as a group," Brooks said. "We take pride in how we perform each game. We're not happy that we lost the game, but we did lose to a very good team. … One of the things is that we will bounce back, we will play with great effort, hopefully we can play a little better."
That level of effort is a qualitative display in a largely qualitative game, but one place that the impact it has becomes obvious is on the defensive end of the court. Whether it's hedging out on a pick-and-roll to prevent penetration, making multiple efforts to prevent a pass into the post or closing out smartly on a potential three-point shooter, the Thunder wants to show its best possible effort on defense and allow that side of the ball to propel its offense.
"We're a good defensive team," Brooks said. "We take pride in our defense, we're active, and we get after it defensively."
One simple way the Thunder was able to have success on defense for large stretches of Game 1 was in keeping its arms and hands up and active. By staying in the passing lanes and using the team's collective length and quickness to bother the Spurs, the Thunder made 11 steals, led by four from Thabo Seoflosha.
With Russell Westbrook pressuring the ball and the likes of Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Derek Fisher getting their hands on the ball, the Thunder wants to again find ways to disrupt the Spurs offensive rhythm in Game 2. If it can force turnovers and get out into transition, the Thunder's defensive intensity can spark offensive success.
"That's what we do, that's what our team is built on, using our length and using our athleticism," Durant said. "Coaches always emphasize playing with our hands and getting deflections, we chart deflections. It's something that has been a part of us since day one. Thabo was great, Russell was great, Serge was great and everybody else fell in line. We just have to keep playing with our hands and keep using our length."

Mumbai: Post back to back hits – Paa, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica and now The Dirty Picture, Vidya Balan is on cloud nine these days. She has turned hot and well in demands lass of the tinsel town. Balan is now ready to hit the screens with her upcoming flick 'Kahaani' in which she plays the role of a pregnant woman on search of her missing husband. She essays the character of Vidya Bagchi.
Vidya is quite lucky that she has been receiving the woman-oriented characters in all of her recent films (mentioned above). In this male dominant industry, Balan is quite successful to get laced with the author-backed and heroine central roles in the films.
Kahaani is directed and scripted by the luminous filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, who churns out movies with a gap but whenever he comes up, he brings the innovative subjects to work on.
In Kahaani, he bestowed Vidya with a de-glam role, something very different of what she did most recently with Ekta Kapoor's The Dirty Picture. But she is nonetheless happy because it is the movie that pours camera throughout on her. Balan is certain that she will raise the spirits of the audiences once again with Kahaani. She plays a pregnant woman with swollen belly who comes out on the roads and streets to search her missing husband. The film shows the hardships she faces on her way to search the husband. Sujoy seems quite adamant for the success as well and from the story of the movie, the film apparently seems to be a hit. The result nonetheless will come when the film will be in theaters.
It would be an enticing transformation of Vidya from doing s super glam role showing assets and body in The Dirty Picture to a de-glam role of a pregnant woman in Kahaani.

Recently while teaching a class full of people who had taken several firearms and edged weapons courses I asked who had done some sort of shoot / dont shoot training during a course? Everyone raised their hand, then I asked of those that had attended edged weapon training who had done any cut / dont cut training? No hands were in the air.
For many people being armed with a knife is their primary deadly force option. In addition to that many people carry an edged weapon as back up deadly force option to supplement a pistol. No matter what category you fall into, have you consider under what circumstances you would use your knife in self-defense. Since a knife is a contact distance weapon it necessitates that you be within arms distance of your attacker. What actions would likely causes you to draw your knife before there is physical contact? If you are already in physical contact, have you trained to get your knife out while your attacker is trying to stop you from doing so? We teach that the knife is used to cut an attacker off or you.
There are few things to consider when using a knife for self-defense. The first is that the attacker is going to be attacking you at conversation distance. Do you train to defend block/evade/misdirect fists, edged weapons and impact weapons with your reaction side hand while using your knife, or do you concentrate on just getting your cut in?
If someone who carries a pistol goes to the range and all they do is shoot cardboard targets on command without having to ever justify their use of force, what would be the likely outcome if they are involved in a shooting? This is the same as training to draw a knife and cut without ever considering situations that would justify it.
Choosing, carrying and using tools are the easy part. Knowing when and how to deploy them is hard, but the justification of use is the rub.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.

Lord Ron Oxburgh, Chairman of Shell UK
Ken's vision for a low carbon London
Watch excerpts from Ken's speech.
It's the capital of the UK, the biggest energy demand centre in the country and the largest city in Europe. And it can slash its CO2 emissions, gas consumption and reliance on fossil fuels without nuclear power.
That was London Mayor Ken Livingstone's message when he laid out his vision for a low carbon London at a Greenpeace Business lecture in March 2006. The mayor called for the government to invest in decentralised energy (DE) instead of wasting taxpayers' money on nuclear power - "the failed technology of the past".
"We don't have time to make mistakes in tackling climate change," Livingstone said. "Nuclear power is neither the cheapest, the safest, or the most reliable way to reduce greenhouse gases".
The mayor was launching a new Greenpeace commissioned report, Powering London into the 21st century, which lays out exactly how decentralising London's energy would be far more efficient than centralised nuclear power in cutting London's CO2 emissions, ensuring energy security and stimulating the economy. The vision for London is based on approaches that have been proven successful in Denmark and the Netherlands. Closer to home, Woking Council has cut its CO2 emissions by 77% by decentralising its energy supplies.
This solution is perfect for densely populated cities like London, which is responsible for around 15% of the UK's CO2 emissions. Comparing decentralised and nuclear scenarios, the report shows that London could reduce its carbon emissions by around 30% by 2025 without new nuclear reactors. Much of London's heating needs would also be met under the decentralised scenario.
The report's findings - which independently reinforce those of a recent report on the effects of adopting a decentralised energy policy UK-wide - demolish the myth that nuclear power is the only answer to climate change. Ken Livingstone said: "I hope the government will invest in the most efficient, proven solutions to combat global warming: greater energy efficiency, decentralised energy and renewable energy."
Greenpeace is calling on the government to write a Decentralised Energy White Paper, which should look at the barriers currently holding back decentralised energy. It should look at measures to require all new buildings to incorporate decentralised energy technologies, all electricity suppliers to buy surplus electricity from decentralised power generators and ways to reward installers of renewable, decentralised technologies.
"The government says its Energy Review is about finding how we can best cut CO2 emissions and ensure a secure energy supply for the UK," said Stephen Tindale, Executive Director of Greenpeace. "If the government is genuinely concerned about climate change and fuel security then they need to start taking decentralised energy seriously and stop wasting their time considering the less effective, dangerous, dirty and expensive nuclear option."
If the largest city in Europe doesn't need nuclear power to slash its CO2 emissions, consume less gas and vastly reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, then who does?
Listen to the introduction by Stephen Tindale, Executive Director of Greenpeace (mp3, 912 KB) or Ken Livingstone's speech (mp3, 5378 KB).
Shell Chair implores government to act now
Warning against the 'angry beast' of climate change, Lord Ron Oxburgh, Chairman of the UK arm of Shell, argued that more determined government action was necessary to limit emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. Delivering the fourth Greenpeace Business Lecture on 25 January, Lord Oxburgh's solutions focused on technological innovations from the corporate sector, coupled with a much tougher regulatory and tax regime from governments.
According to Lord Oxburgh, Shell has nothing to fear from the taxation and regulatory changes that are needed to avoid the potential consequences of climate change. "Shell is an energy company and I would be very surprised if Shell were doing business in the same way in 30 years time as it is today." Governments in developed countries need to introduce taxes, regulations or plans such as the European Union carbon trading scheme to increase the cost of emitting CO2. This is the only way that technologies such as bio-fuel, carbon sequestration, the use of hydrogen as a fuel and wave, tidal, wind and solar power would displace the use of oil, coal and gas.
"None of this is going to happen if the market is left to itself," Lord Oxburgh said. Shell's strategy for coping with tougher laws and taxes on using oil and gas is to gain expertise in the various environmentally-friendly technologies that may play a role in meeting future energy needs. Following his 50 minute talk, Lord Oxburgh responded to an hour of questions ranging from the role of Shell in a changing world, to solving China's growing energy needs, to his personal contribution to halting climate change. (He and his family are avid bike riders - arriving at the lecture in a yellow neon jacket with his fold-up Brampton bicycle.)
On the technical side, Lord Oxburgh focused on the need for more research into marine renewables - particularly wave and tidal power, which he said were "under researched and under resourced." He also highlighted the important role that biofuels and biomass could play in producing energy for transport, electricity and heating. Hybrid cars are a cost and fuel efficient way of bridging the gap into a possible future energy economy based on hydrogen.

Chief scientist calls for action
Speaking to a packed audience of politicians and business people at the third Greenpeace Business Lecture in London on 12 October 2004, Sir David King, Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government, laid out a lucid analysis of global warming - leaving no one in doubt of its devastating consequences.
Sir David's 60-minute lecture held the attention of an audience of over 200 corporate executives, government policy-makers, MPs, lords, journalists, NGO representatives and environmental consultants. A further hour of insightful questions culminated in heartfelt applause for such a cogent presentation of the dangers of climate change. The Greenpeace Business Lecture is establishing itself as a serious forum for discussion, commentary and networking between government officials, business people and the NGO community. Within 24 hours, a range of senior government officials and MPs had seen Sir David's lecture and his office was disseminating it to influence politicians and governments in other countries.
A transcript of Sir David King's lecture is available from www.greenpeace.org.uk. The accompanying slides and notes are available at the Office of Science and Technology website:

The Changing of the Guard
5 Good Reasons to Ride Through Winter
It's that time of year where the butter in the dish no longer stays spreadably soft, and you avoid getting out of bed to take a piss. Yes, the winds of change are upon us and the reality of another winter is sinking in; here are some reasons to get out on the trails:
1. Vibrant Colours and Atmospheric Conditions. The greenness of the forest is hands-down better when it's wet, and every colour brightens up. Getting out when it's nasty out can be as much about enjoying the time in the woods as the ride itself.
While it does take a bit more motivation to get out on your bike and get soaked instead of having a bubble bath, there are still good reasons—winter-specific, even—to get out on the trails.
As a photographer, dank wet conditions on the Shore are my favourite time to shoot. Look at those greens pop!
Gone are the days where the ground actually dries out between periods of precipitation, so we switch from our summer meaning of dry to the winter meaning—which has more to do with what's falling out of the clouds than the ground conditions. We know it's going to be wet, and for the next six months.
Hit up your favourite low elevation XC loop and enjoy what winter riding has to offer…
2. Clear Courses. While mountain bikers are a hardy bunch, many choose to stay inside all winter and argue on the internet, or "shred the gnar pow" at higher elevations. This means the trails are clear for the rest of us.
Winter provides us much more often with the "classic Shore" condition: socked in with fog, can't see the next feature on the trail awesomeness.
These are the conditions that you wish you could show your out of town visitors who only seem to show up in the summer.
3. Night Riding. While it may be dark as soon as you get home from work, that doesn't mean you can't still get out for a ride.
Decent lights are available as cheap as $100 to keep your after-work ride going through winter.
4. Fresh pow, on two wheels. There will inevitably be times during the winter when not all the trails are clear of snow, but if you get the chance to ride in fresh pow, rejoice!
The crunch of fresh tracks under your tires…
A good chance this structure has snow on it right now…
5. Fat Tires. Skittering around on last year's bald tires is one way to do it, but a fresh sticky tire on the front can be really nice.
Less trail traffic: no waiting while someone cleans that descent you're about to smash; no irritating guy with a beard chatting you up. Photo ~ Billy Jackson
Remember to bring an extra warm layer and to keep a light in your bag, even if it is just a basic headlamp or flashlight. Matches or a lighter are never a bad idea—and a toque is a must. Same recommendations go for trail building or as others call it, "hiking."
Pete Morrin has done a hell of a job on Seventh this fall. You won't even recognize some corners they're so smooth.
Be nice to the trails: stay off loamers and trail sections with fresh ground work if at all possible. All that rain and snow is doing its best to re-loam the trails, but it won't stay long if it gets ridden!
Choose trails that can handle traffic in the wet. You will be repaid in trail karma.
So while at times we may occasionally be snowed in, and the lure of a warm fireplace may prevail, there's no reason to neglect your bike over winter.

Every one of these points is debatable. What are your cardinal rules? And what keeps you going through winter? Post from your long johns below…

Eight people are confirmed dead after a helicopter crashed into the Clutha Bar pub in Glasgow city centre last night, Police Scotland said this afternoon. The three in the helicopter - two police officers and a civilian pilot - are among the dead.
Chief Constable Sir Stephen House said at a press conference this afternoon: "Our thoughts and condolences are very much with the families of those who have died and those who have been injured in this tragic incident.
"We are working alongside our emergency services colleagues in the ongoing rescue operation. I would like to take this opportunity to praise the people of Glasgow who helped in the very early stages following the incident and commend their courage.
"We are dealing with a very sensitive and complex operation and we expect that emergency services will be at the scene for some time. We would thank the public for their co-operation as our officers and other emergency service colleagues continue this difficult task."
Fourteen people remain in Glasgow hospitals, he said.
The pub, which is a renowned live music venue, had been packed with people enjoying a Friday night out listening to a gig by the ska band Esperanza.
The injured were taken to the Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Western Infirmary.
Witnesses described how the helicopter dropped out of the sky and on to the roof of the pub in Stockwell Street "like a stone".
The aircraft involved was a Eurocopter EC135 T2.
A full probe involving the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) and the emergency services is under way.
The search and rescue operation involves 125 firefighters including crews trained in shoring up unstable buildings, excavating collapsed structures and seeking and identifying casualties using specialist equipment.
Labour's international development spokesman, Scottish MP Jim Murphy, was one of the first on the scene. He described how he saw people "clambering out" of the bar as he was driving past and jumped out to help.
He said: "There were people with injuries. Bad gashes to the head. Some were unconscious. I don't know how many.
"The helicopter was inside the pub. It's a mess. I could only get a yard or two inside. I helped carry people out."
Mr Murphy told Sky News that people formed a human chain to help pass unconscious people out of the pub so that "inch by inch, we could get the people out".
Grace MacLean, who was inside the pub, told BBC News: "They [the band] carried on playing and then it started to come down more and someone started screaming and then the whole pub just filled with dust. You couldn't see anything, you couldn't breathe.
"People started coming out with injuries and blood and everyone was going over and trying to help out.
"I don't think it crashed, if it had crashed there would have been fire, there would have been a noise, but we didn't hear anything, it was the smoke that we noticed.
"I think maybe whoever was in the helicopter just tried to land on the roof or something."
The First Minister said the Scottish Government's resilience operation has been mobilised.
"Our thoughts are with everyone involved with the incident in Glasgow," he said.
"However given an incident of this scale we must all prepare ourselves for the likelihood of fatalities."
One image of the crash showed the dark blue helicopter on the roof with yellow police insignia on part of the wreckage.
Helicopter operator Bond Air Services said it was working with Police Scotland.
A large section of the city centre was cordoned off with all roads leading to the junction of Clyde Street, Stockwell Street, Bridgegate and the Victoria Bridge closed.
Police have set up a telephone number for members of the public who are concerned about relatives who may have been involved in the crash. It is 0800 092 0410.
Retired firefighter Edward Waltham ran into the pub to help with the rescue effort and described how he pulled casualties out of the building.
"I helped grab a couple of people. One gentleman in particular who was completely covered in dust, who had very shallow breathing and appeared to be quite badly injured." he told BBC News.
"My initial reaction for him from my experience was to try not to move him because he had been in a crush situation.
"But as we were lying there other people were literally being pulled out of the pub and more or less thrown on top of us."Reuse content
