This book explores the intricate relationship between public opinion and energy issues. Energy, the Environment, and Public Opinion sheds light on how much the public understands about energy policy, what the public wants officials to do about our energy problems, and how governments at various levels are likely to come to grips with energy shortages in the future.

PETERSBURG, Va. – They trained Iraqi police officers and set up a police academy, and helped rebuild courts and schools. Three of them received Purple Hearts and six earned Bronze Stars.
But members of the military police unit at the heart of the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib prison (search) said Saturday that they fear the good they did for the people of Iraq will be overlooked because of the abuse allegations.
"I don't know if people saw just how friendly we were with the local population. Folks on the street just loved it when we came into the city and we cleaned up the city with the Iraqi police," said Sgt. Stephen Pierson, who helped establish a police academy in the town of Al Hillah.
Seven members of the 372nd Military Police Company (search), an Army reserve unit based in Cresaptown, Md., are accused in the scandal, including Pfc. Lynndie England (search), who was photographed mocking naked Iraqi detainees. A military hearing is being held at Fort Bragg, N.C., to determine whether she should face a a court-martial. If convicted, she could get up to 38 years in prison. Only one of the seven soldiers accused in the abuse scandal has pleaded guilty.
More than 100 members of the 372nd returned to their families Monday at the Army's Fort Lee near Petersburg. After five days of readjustment training, three reservists agreed to talk with the media about their accomplishments, so long as no mention of the prison abuse scandal was made.
Fort Lee personnel told journalists that if they asked questions about the abuse investigation or about the seven soldiers accused of abusing prisoners, the interviews Saturday would be cut short.
"The soldiers won't be able to talk about that because it's all under investigation," Fort Lee spokesman Travis Edwards said.
Pierson said he didn't want the prison abuse scandal to diminish the work of the MP unit. "I'm pretty proud of what we accomplished over there ... (The scandal) doesn't impact upon me, why would it?" he said.
"Our unit has a rich history. One little thing is not going to dampen us," Staff Sgt. John Tamuschy said. "Why would you let one thing of a select group dampen you?"
Said Spc. Hope Rhodes, a cook: "We did our job, and we're proud of it."
The unit's first task after arriving in Iraq on May 15, 2003, was to train new Iraqi police officers and help set up a police academy, Army officials said. The unit was transferred to Abu Ghraib prison in October 2003, with some working in the detention center and others helping rebuild police stations, courts and schools in the area.
The MPs trained more than 2,000 Iraqi police officers at the academy.
Pierson said when they first arrived in Iraq the local police did not want to leave their stations without American soldiers, but that quickly changed. "They really got to the point where they wanted to show us, independent of us, they could do the job," he said.
"When we first got there it was the Wild West ... when we left you could walk the streets at night," he said.
The unit's mobilization was extended in April, and in May the reservists began escorting civilian convoys and carrying supplies for coalition forces.
Tamuscky said the extension was the only time the unit's morale dipped.

Elizabeth's evil twin is the primary antagonist of Prehistoria. She is an evil, robotic copy of Elizabeth and is also the leader of the Vipers, operating out of the Volcano.
The evil twin was created by Sidney Ruffleberg on orders from Carltron, with the intent for her to take over Prehistoria. Carltron sent her to the surface some time before the Hero's arrival. The evil twin took command of the Vipers and began to make preparations to conquer the region. In the Volcano she began lowering the pressure of its boiler, causing the Volcano to begin to cool, and also sent the Vipers to the Mammoth Graveyard to gather bones to craft weapons with. The evil twin intended to shut down the Volcano and plunge Prehistoria into an ice age; then, she and the Vipers would be able to conquer the region without interference from Elizabeth and her village.
Elizabeth sent the hero to investigate the Volcano's cooling and he found the twin in the core of the Volcano. Elizabeth appeared to confront her, and the evil twin revealed her plans for the region, then destroyed the path to the boiler to dismiss Elizabeth. The evil summoned her "pet rock," Magmar, to attack the hero, but it was destroyed. With no minions left to keep the hero from stopping her plans, the furious evil twin overloaded the Volcano boiler, causing an eruption.
In the ending, the evil twin has been made part of the Ivor Tower Alley oddities exhibition along with Horace's evil twin and Camellia's evil twin.

By Joan Voight and Steve Krajewski
SAN FRANCISCO–Telephone and computer network provider Nortel plans to splinter its main, $8-10 million advertising account into four assignments, with the possibility that some or all of them could be placed in review, sources said.
J. Walter Thompson's San Francisco office oversees the main account and has not decided if it wants to pursue any of the unbundled assignments, said sources.
Temerlin McClain in Irving, Texas, which handles the account for the Nortel Enterprise Networks division, has been involved in discussions about the reorganization plans and is likely to be part of any upcoming reviews, according to sources.
Executives at JWT declined to comment on the reorganization.
Temerlin McClain president Dennis McClain declined to discuss whether his agency met formally with other Nortel divisions but said, 'We really enjoy our relationship with Enterprise Networks. It would be our hope that we could expand our relationships to other divisions.'
Nortel officials could not be reached.
The Brampton, Ontario-based client has a decentralized structure in the U.S. consisting of four divisions: wireless networks, public carrier networks, broadband networks and enterprise networks.
The public carrier networks unit is based in Research Triangle Park, N.C., and the other three divisions are in Richardson, Texas. Under the new marketing configuration, each division will have the autonomy to select its own advertising agency.
In addition, the company has a global corporate ad assignment handled out of its Canadian headquarters. JWT handles the corporate business as well as all divisions except for Enterprise Networks, which moved from JWT to Temerlin without a review last March. Ad billings for that unit were boosted to an estimated $10-15 million after the agency shift.
Separately, Jon Hyde, the longtime executive creative director of JWT's San Francisco office, has resigned and the agency is conducting a national search for a replacement.

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! The teachers and I are ready to jump into this year and see all those smiling faces very soon. We have a lot of work ahead of us but know that this year is going to be a great one. Last year the elementary teachers had a little motto that they worked by ... Respect 7. Basically this motto reminded them that they have 7 hours a day with the students, and if their time - their 7 hours - with them was spent to its fullest, great things would happen. I have never seen teachers work harder than last year. So this year, we are pushing Respect 7 into the students' lives. Seven hours may seem like a long time to a kid, but if they work hard and play hard during their 7 hours at school they too will elevate their learning and life!
We look forward to visiting with the families at our annual before school conferences and ice cream social coming soon. On
Thursday, August 10 at 5:00
(right before the ice cream social) in the Elementary Cafeteria, we invite any
families to attend our Elementary Orientation. Here we will introduce you to the PCS Elementary Administration team as well as go over many aspects of the elementary school and answer any questions you may have in order to make your and your student's transition to PCS a smooth and happy one. Enjoy the rest of summer!

Keep your toys in a cool dark place, away from exposure to sunlight or excessive heat, to avoid warping or discoloration. If your toy came in a silk bag or other container, store it inside this after cleaning.

Over the last few days, there's been an ongoing debate on my Facebook wall as to the merits of the OSCE's criticisms that came out following Kazakhstan's recent Majlis election. After I posted Nazarbayev's response to the criticisms – that is, his refusal to allow future critical monitors into his nation – a series of Kazakhstani friends came out in defense of the electoral results. Or, perhaps they didn't defend it, so much as lambast the OSCE's decision (gall?) to stand as the lone major organization opposed to the electoral process. Which makes me wonder at a few things – media trust, New Great Game motions – but also, whether or not such a belief actually carries any merit.
Among monitors during the election, the OSCE was the only credible institution to levy critical judgment. The CIS and the SCO are composed almost entirely of autocracies, extirpating any democratic legitimacy, and while the OSCE is technically "Western-based," the organization is not NATO: Not only are all former Soviet states members of the OSCE, but Kazakhstan, after years of vigorous and questionable lobbying, succeeded in chairing the organization in 2010. (Empirically, one could see how proud Nazarbayev was of such selection – the OSCE's initials were plastered across billboards and placards almost as often as photos of Nazarbayev leading from the lectern.) The OSCE is, in terms of electoral verdict, the only voice that truly mattered, and the only one to carve any place in US policy.
However, such legitimacy as an observational organization seems to extend only so far. The locals with whom I've spoken see shades of imperialism, of a West carrot-and-stick-ing its way to cajole Kazakhstan into their ranks. (They also see the Kazakhstani political opposition as either hustlers or farce – and, without having vetted any of the opposition candidates to the same measure you'll find States-side, perhaps they are. But whether or not they are worthy of the vote doesn't matter in this context.) These locals refuse to believe that the OSCE didn't carry underlying and underhanded motives, that their verdict is evidence of something altogether dishonest. And they're entitled to those views. Still, the fact remains that the OSCE – again, the only organ of legitimacy in the monitoring – slammed these elections as a failure of progress and promise. The illegitimacy of Kazakhstani democracy perdures.
As I see it, there are two possibilities: either the OSCE honestly and openly shared what it observed, or it falsified the observations to some end. Let's parse these choices, and see which one stands more plausible.
If the OSCE's views are valid, then Kazakhstan has just realized another fraudulent election, the latest in a litany of democratic farces. This conclusion mirrors not only tradition, but is also supported by circumstantial evidence – namely, the cherry-picking of opposition parties and decimation of antagonistic groups and candidates. No one expects Ak Zhol or the KPNK, the new parties in Parliament, to do anything more than kowtow to Nur Otan, the ruling party. While the possibility remains that the parties could have swindled Nur Otan, entering the Majlis the only way they could, the likelihood remains that they were hand-picked in another display of half-cooked deception, another move that's only surface-level democracy. Opposition candidates were barred through rote legalese, and, once more, a Parliament more interested in deference than debate takes the stage in Astana.
If, however, the OSCE did manufacture these results, this begs the question: why? What potential benefits would the OSCE have to forge these voting observations, while all other organizations deemed the election a resounding success? Why bother sticking out, and spend another round sticking in Nazarbayev's craw?
There seem a few potential answers. The first would be that the OSCE, for whatever reason, feels some acrimony toward the Nazarbayev regime. Perhaps something stemmed from Nazarbayev's time as head of the OSCE – a personal disagreement, or some sort of unpopular policy – though I couldn't find anything outwardly controversial or condescending within Astana's time as chair. Subsequently, were this to be the case, would the OSCE have the organizational capacity, or will, to carry forward a vendetta into disparaging Kazakhstan's election? Would the organization put its reputation at risk solely to score a few personal points against a regime? Unless there's a sudden upsurge in the OSCE in both temerity and unprofessionalism, I'm going to assume this isn't the case.
A second possibility, which carries at least a little more plausibility, is that the Western organizations backing the OSCE have attempted to pressure Astana into some sort of political maneuver. It's likely not about oil, and the NDN plays (yet) only a minor role in Kazakhstan, which leaves, as far as I can tell, pressures directed toward the still-fresh Eurasian Union. I've seen little critique of the EAU come from Western corridors … though it's not as if such critique isn't implausible. Putin's pet project, the creation of that third pole between the West and the East, is, if nothing else, an intriguing turn in post-Soviet space. Still, while it's easy to jump back into another Jack Ryan trope about the re-forming of the Soviet Union, there is little reason to believe that a common economic sphere is anything more than just that. (For what it's worth, I'm willing to put tenge down that a common currency never arises under the Nazarbayev regime.)
As such, it is possible that the OSCE, through its criticisms, hoped to take a swipe at Kazakhstan's turn toward Moscow. Perhaps the OSCE, using the only public censure it knew, wanted to prick at Kazakhstan's well-crafted image, and convince Nazarbayev to slow his turn into Putin's fold.
But if the OSCE did manipulate its results, hoping to pry Nazarbayev from Putin … well, did it work? Is this the most effective manner in destabilizing the EAU? I'd wager a resounding "no." For a short-term answer, I'll point once more to this link – as a result of the OSCE's findings, Nazarbayev promptly limited the potential future observers, censoring the findings they could either find or manufacture. As such, Astana retains tighter control over its much-massaged message. It's worth remembering that Nazarbayev has notoriously thin skin, and seeks international acceptance much more than his southerly neighbors. Were the OSCE to attempt to pressure Astana, wouldn't they have been better off proffering flattery rather than derision?
And if it didn't work in the short-term, what good does one organization's critique craft in the long-run? The criticism is but one in a long line, and while there's something to be said about continuing trends, what long-run gain does the OSCE stand to make if they're the only ones criticizing? There seems little big-picture value to being the only organization to point out the fraudulence of this election. Instead, the perceived insult will likely hang with Nazarbayev, and, just as it did in the short term, push him continually toward Moscow.
Now, it is entirely possible that the OSCE did manufacture the results, and that the (short-term) result simply backfired. Perhaps they were banking on Nazarbayev's ego to force him to jump through the OSCE's hoops, and that some off-hand, middle-run political gain can be found after he's calmed down. But that's not simply risking much reputational capital – it's also sorely misreading the situation. As seen time and again, Nazarbayev and Astana prefer (and construct) appearance over substance, and jabbing Kazakhstan's image can only result in a tightening of Astana's ranks.
But perhaps the OSCE is a group of imbeciles, bent on corralling Nazarbayev through methods that the lay observer know won't work. Perhaps they misread the reality in Kazakhstan, and that they're now paying the political price.
Or, perhaps, they faithfully reported what they saw, and that the 2012 election, just like each one preceding it, was a sham of Kazakhstani democracy. Decision's yours.

Blog Post: Fintech – Using Your Data To Predict The Future With Our Technology
One of the most amazing things about mid to large companies is that they possess the data to predict the future. Some companies have decades of data they could be modeling and forecasting, yet are bogged down with the sheer volume of where to begin. Many companies use common spreadsheets to accomplish any number of industry performance indicator forecasting, i.e. revenue, profit, risk forecasting, retention, etc. Automated statistical modeling from Acclaimed Labs can replace common spreadsheet forecasting with more accurate and intuitive tables and graphs. With some companies able to build their own data science teams to perform better statistical modeling than common spreadsheets, some payment processing, insurance, technology and healthcare companies are acquiring startup FinTech predictive analytics to attain their forecasting goals. Decreasing margins and increased competition are forcing companies to move away from common office spreadsheets and historical data visualization packages, in favor of adopting real predictive forecasting technology to gain market share and restore/build competitive advantage. Using your data, our intuitive, proprietary forecasting technology can help your company, firm or business entity predict and project future values better and faster. Our platform can help you identify future potential Risk sooner, while Protecting Assets.
Even though Big Data, Predictive Analytics, Financial Forecasting, and FinTech are common words in the business world now; the majority of firms, companies and entities who really need to implement FinTech predictive analytics/ forecasting technology, have yet to do so. Partly due to a shortage of statisticians and data scientists. Partly because it can be difficult for mid to large companies to create forecasting technology from within. And lastly, because existing market forecasting solutions can be extremely hard to use, lack the features needed, and expensive. All firms, companies and entities with data can benefit from understanding patterns and trends that affect their market, with projections for the future. Designed by our own statisticians and data scientists, Acclaimed Labs developed our institutional grade FinTech forecasting solution to replace, or replicate an entire data science teams efforts with easy to use automation. Properly embraced by existing data science teams, our platform provides a boost in productivity. Our platform was built as a plug in solution for companies who need better financial forecasting or demand model forecasting. Our platform combines extremely powerful and automated statistical modeling together with intuitive forecasting for the end user, leveraging the playing field for those companies locked out of the market for expensive data scientists, their teams, and statistical modeling software.
Better financial FinTech forecasting can allow Payment Processors, Insurance, Health and Banks data to discover emerging opportunities, unlocking secrets to their future, their clients, and their competition. In addition to using our platform for your forecasting needs, our FinTech can also be resold to your clients as a Value Added Technology (VAT), generating revenue from your predictive analytics integration efforts. Improve offerings, expand markets and improve margins with innovative FinTech Value Added Technology provided by Acclaimed Labs. Acquiring or licensing FinTech for better forecasting brings immediate insight to nearly all departments within an organization. If you have data not currently being modeled into forecasts, or forecasting that needs to be more accurate, our statistical modeling and forecasting technology allows an end user to easily create institutional grade projections on nearly any time series data. Applying our predictive market and forecasting technology to your data allows your company to understand your data/market/clients/competition better. Automated Statistical Modeling and Forecast publishing by Acclaimed Labs allows Marketing, Underwriting, Sales, Customer Service and Risk teams of almost all business sectors to plan, manage and execute their future strategies better.
Part of a widening gap, Statisticians and data scientists are in high demand. The majority of payment processing, insurance, healthcare and banking entities who have data that can benefit from better statistical modeling and forecasting have been unable to locate or hire statisticians and data scientists simply due to demand for their services. The Acclaimed Labs platform was built by statisticians and data scientists to address this emerging supply/demand problem. Our platform gives the end user the ability to function as a statistician or data scientist, without needing the skill set. Most companies can benefit from a one size fits all, time series Big Data Forecasting Solution. Acclaimed Labs can improve forecasting accuracy, reduce expenses and allow your company to cover more areas of influence, faster and more efficiently than most existing FinTech predictive and data forecasting market solutions. The Acclaimed Labs platform was developed, and coded by statisticians and data scientists.
Many mid to large firms, companies and business entities can spend years building technology that is ultimately replaced by a plug in FinTech forecasting platform like Acclaimed Labs. Acclaimed Labs fills this unique plug in FinTech Forecasting platform niche. Our robust platform is easily integrated, scalable and easily customized. Payment processors, Insurance companies, healthcare entities and banks can attain immeasurable forecasting insight, and generate revenue from our customizable FinTech forecasting platform.
FinTech Forecasting developed by Acclaimed Labs replicates, replaces, or enhances existing data science teams work flow and productivity output with our proprietary automated statistical modeling, back testing and publishing technology. Our platforms phenomenal success for the last two years predicting future US Airline Industry Passenger Revenues, a historically difficult area to forecast due to its seasonality, patterns, trends and Multi Billion dollar figures; gives our technology a unique competitive advantage over other emerging startup FinTech companies and their technology. Most companies who begin building predictive analytics will never evolve into anything more than a data visualization software company due to the complex nature of integrating statistical modeling and forecasting into an automated, easy to use platform that issues future projections and predicted values. Providing value far beyond measurement, our predictive analytics/financial forecasting technology can help your bank, payment processing, insurance, technology, or healthcare company unlock secrets from your data without a data science team.

Blog Post:Wall Street, Large Global Banks Dominate Financial Technology Acquisitions
Forecasting Financial Technology Acquisitions 2016
As the world ponders the health of the global economy, predictive analytics firms are supplying the insight needed to have confidence in the saying "you need to spend money to make money". Wall Street firms, large global banks and nearly any traditional business entity (brick and mortar or ecommerce) that can benefit from a small percent increase in forecasting accuracy, are seeking out new predictive analytics and financial technologies being brought to market. Recent market activity strongly suggests that acquiring predictive forecasting technology is much more cost friendly than hiring data science teams and building from scratch.
Predictive financial technology is being used to forecast nearly anything that has a value attached to it. New startups emerge every day hoping to come up with a foundation of financial predictive technology that everyone can agree on. They raise millions of dollars with no solid go-to market product. Often times, these startups pivot to provide "data analytics" which actually are different ways to display your data. This is because the coding and infrastructure to stay on focus and build a predictive analytics platform that will publish forecasts is a long and complicated technical process. Many companies pivot instead of giving up, but soon the market catches up with the visualization data analytics companies, and they are left with increased competition and dwindling margins.
The insatiable hunger for innovative and disruptive financial forecasting technology is causing many companies to buy technology to simply prevent a competitor from using it. Many times, that technology may never be used again, swallowed into the institutions that capture them and then shelved forever in order to prevent others from obtaining a competitive advantage.
The Fintech industry is still relatively new, and the scramble to obtain the upper hand means a business that wishes to remain relevant in the 21st century needs to also have innovative, predictive financial technology of the kind that the major banks are developing, seeking out, and acquiring at an increasing pace. The clear solution is licensing disruptive forecasting technology provided by Acclaimed Labs.

Blog Post: Wall Street, Large Global Banks Dominate Financial Technology Acquisitions
Wall Street, Large Global Banks Dominate Financial Technology Acquisitions
The emerging Fintech (Financial Technology) and Big Data Revolution has caught the interest of Wall Street, traditional financial banks, and institutions interested in maximizing their revenues and investments, while navigating the risks associated with the economy of the new millennium. There is an increasing need to license or acquire innovative predictive analytics and financial forecasting technology services from outside firms that specialize in using financially friendly code- such as R and Python programming. New to market, yet proven Financial Technology is often acquired quickly to shut out competitors. Acclaimed Labs is a new to market, yet proven financial technology.
Many large banks are simply acquiring startups that have the predictive forecasting technology they need, while it appears that others such as UBS, Citi and Deutsche Bank, have built their own custom research centers ("Fintech labs") and financial technology. Of course, such an undertaking is a tremendous investment in capital and personnel, far out of the reach of most small- to medium-sized businesses to develop in-house. Thus, the advantages of acquiring innovative Fintech focused firms for their technology has benefited mainly large banks, while putting smaller enterprises at a serious disadvantage in the new economy.
Results from innovative and disruptive predictive financial technology must be reliable. Proven results, with heavy emphasis on back testing and diagnostics, establish the rigorousness of any predictive analytics forecast product. Flexibility is also important – the technology must be adaptable to changing data and market conditions. The task of changing a forecasting software package that is not built with change in mind can easily exceed the cost of the original implementation. The technology must also be scalable. All of these demands are typically far outside the specialization and capacity of most small to medium enterprises. Acclaimed Labs fills the widening gap, providing competitive advantage with our innovative financial forecasting technology.

Big Data "Visual Analytics" VS. Real Predictive Analytics Financial Technology
With the US economy recovering from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, the need for data scientists has increased exponentially. More and more business entities are seeking out new ways to monetize the big data they create, collect, store and manage. Most end up choosing what we would call visual analytics platforms to display their data in new graphs and charts. Seeing a gap in financial forecasting technology, with most big data companies focusing on ways to display data, Acclaimed Labs focused on building real, innovative predictive analytics forecasting, the difficult and harder financial technology to develop and build.
Statisticians and data scientists are charged with developing forecasts with data, an arduous and long manual process, guaranteeing job security. Seeking to replace expensive data scientists with a high performance statistical modeling solution, we built our platform to provide powerful and intuitive predictive forecasting values, solving a real problem for most companies. Better forecasting is needed by virtually every company that wants to reduce costs and increase revenues. Built by statisticians and data scientists to replicate, replace or enhance an entire data science teams' manual modeling in a fraction of the time – our predictive financial technology is disruptive in a time where time and resources are in high demand.

• Effects of weight reduction on serum levels of lipids and apolipoproteins were measured in 13 obese children (seven girls, six boys). Mean weight loss of 8.4% of the initial body weight was achieved after 4 weeks of energy intake restriction and exercise. Serum total cholesterol (5.46±1.01 mmol/L) and triglyceride (2.08±0.52 mmol/L) levels were significantly high compared with control values before treatment and were significantly reduced to 4.32±0.75 and 1.31 ±0.42 mmol/L, respectively, after treatment. Serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (1.03±0.23 mmol/L) was significantly low and unchanged after treatment (0.94±0.25 mmol/L). Serum apolipoprotein A-I level (0.039±0.009 mmol/L or 111 ± 0.26 g/L) was normal before treatment and significantly reduced, to 0.032±0.007 mmol/L or 0.92±0.19 g/L, after weight reduction. Serum apolipoprotein B level (0.00019±0.00007 mmol/L or 1.07±0.21 g/L) was significantly high before treatment and decreased to the normal range after treatment (0.00014±0.0009 mmol/L or 0.76±0.24 g/L). The ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A-I (1.09±0.29) was significantly high on admission and decreased significantly to 0.64±0.12 after treatment. Serum apolipoprotein E level (0.0014±0.0006 mmol/L or 0.05 ±0.02 g/L) was normal and decreased to 0.0008±0.0002 mmol/L or 0.03±0.01 g/L after treatment. In conclusion, weight reduction achieved by energy intake restriction and exercise had beneficial effects on serum lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations for the prevention of future atherosclerosis.
