Duke cornerback Ross Cockrell is not offended the No. 20 Blue Devils are a 29-point underdog to Jameis Winston and top-ranked Florida State for Saturday night's ACC championship game.
Auburn and Missouri are competing for the Southeastern Conference title Saturday, and possibly a chance to play for the national championship.
The Big Ten championship game already looks like a classic contest.
After Syracuse lost in the Final Four last spring, coach Jim Boeheim knew a lot of work lay ahead for the team's first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
David Cutcliffe learned under Bear Bryant, helped bring a national title to Tennessee and developed the Manning brothers into Super Bowl MVPs.
Alexis Jones scored to lead No. 2 Duke in a 99-78 victory over No. 16 Purdue on Thursday night in a Big Ten/ACC Challenge game.
The Auburn Tigers believe their quarterback merits some Heisman Trophy consideration.
Michigan State got manhandled and outhustled by North Carolina.
Florida State quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Jameis Winston will not be charged with sexually assaulting a woman who accused him of raping her about a year ago, a prosecutor said Thursday.
Sam Hughes thought he understood his role this season for the UNC Asheville basketball team.
The prosecutor overseeing the investigation of sexual assault allegations against Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston said Wednesday that it is completed.
It might seem as if the pressure just keeps building and building on No. 2 Ohio State.
North Carolina flashed its potential again, earning another impressive victory after a second shaky setback.
It's hard to know exactly what to expect from North Carolina heading into Wednesday's game at No. 1 Michigan State.
Nobody's laughing at Duke's football program anymore.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is focused on getting his 13th-ranked Tigers ready for the postseason after another disappointing end to the regular season something he's knows all too well with his team's five-game losing streak to South Carolina in season finales.
Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe is resigning after 13 seasons at the school.
Shabazz Napier hit a jumper from the free throw line as time expired to keep No. 12 Connecticut undefeated with a 65-64 victory over No. 15 Florida on Monday night.
Duke must find a way to slow down Florida State receiver Kelvin Benjamin if the No. 20 Blue Devils want to have a chance of upsetting the top-ranked Seminoles in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.
Quarterback Jameis Winston is among 17 players from top-ranked Florida State to make one of the all-Atlantic Coast Conference football teams.
Chad Frazier scored 25 points and UAB made three free throws over the final 6.6 seconds to preserve a 63-59 upset of No. 16 North Carolina on Sunday.
Florida State and Ohio State are in position to play for the BCS national championship, though Auburn and Missouri are close enough behind in the BCS standings to put pressure on the Buckeyes.
DeNesha Stallworth scored 15 second-half points and Jennifer O'Neill hit a critical jumper with 40.8 seconds left, rallying No. 7 Kentucky from a 14-point deficit to beat No. 4 Louisville 69-64 on Sunday.
Ron Baker had 22 points, six rebounds and four steals and No. 12 Wichita State got a pair of key plays from Fred VanVleet in the closing seconds to edge Saint Louis 70-65 on Sunday.
Talk about an SEC surprise. Just a year ago, the Auburn Tigers won all of three games and fired their coach. Just a year ago, the Missouri Tigers looked very much like a school that had no business joining the mighty Southeastern Conference.
A.J. Pacher scored 18 points and pulled down eight rebounds Saturday to pace Wright State to an 85-77 win over Western Carolina at Nutter Center.
Duke coach David Cutcliffe and his players talked openly all season about winning a division title and earning a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Chris Davis returned a missed field-goal attempt more than 100 yards for a touchdown on the final play to lift No. 4 Auburn to a 34-28 victory over No. 1 Alabama on Saturday, upending the two-time defending national champions' BCS hopes and preserving the Tigers' own.
C.J. Brown ran for three touchdowns and threw for two more, and Maryland beat North Carolina State 41-21 on Saturday in its final Atlantic Coast Conference game.
Tyvis Powell intercepted Devin Gardners pass as Michigan went for a go-ahead 2-point conversion with 32 seconds left and No. 3 Ohio State held on for a 42-41 victory Saturday in one the most thrilling games in the history of the storied Big Ten rivalry.
Tricia Liston scored 19 points and Elizabeth Williams added 17 to lead No. 2 Duke to a 73-40 win over Kansas on Saturday at the Paradise Jam.
Jarnell Stokes scored a season-high 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Darius Thompson scored 16 and Tennessee beat Wake Forest 82-63 on Saturday in the fifth-place game at the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes to Kelvin Benjamin, and No. 2 Florida State moved a step closer to playing for the national championship with a 37-7 victory against rival Florida on Saturday.
Nick Johnson scored all but two of his 15 points in the second half and No. 4 Arizona beat No. 6 Duke 72-66 on Friday night in the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off.
With each win in a historically successful season, Duke coach David Cutcliffe said his team would have to follow up with an even bigger win the following week.
Theres balance, and then theres what Wake Forest put on display Friday.
Keith Appling came off the bench to score 17 points and Denzel Valentine and Travis Trice added 15 apiece Friday to power Michigan State to a 98-65 victory over Mount St. Marys and help the Spartans continue their domination of nonconference opponents at home during November.
Adrianne Thomas scored 23 points as Arizona State outscored No. 11 North Carolina 17-4 in overtime, for a 94-81 upset win on Friday.
Freshman Diamond DeShields scored a career-high 24 points as No. 11 North Carolina easily beat Arkansas State 93-60 on Thursday in Cancun, Mexico.
Once Duke got its inside and outside game going, the second-ranked Blue Devils were going to be tough to beat.

Andrew Wiggins scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half and No. 2 Kansas moved into the semifinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis, downing previously unbeaten Wake Forest 87-78 on Thursday.

By 2050, it will take 100 billion land animals to provide the world's population with meat, dairy, eggs and leather goods. Maintaining this herd will take a huge, potentially unsustainable toll on the planet. What if there were a different way? In this eye-opening talk, tissue engineering advocate Andras Forgacs argues that biofabricating meat and leather is a civilized way to move past killing animals for hamburgers and handbags.
Andras Forgacs produces animal products -- meat and leather -- without the animal. Full bio »

A Zuckerberg photo, turtle killers & fiscal mismangement
What students are talking about today (December 28th)
1. Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, was upset that a Facebook "friend" shared a family photo (including Mark) with the entire internet. "Digital etiquette: always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings, it's about human decency," Zuckerberg Tweeted after Callie Schweitzer shared the snapshot with more than 39,000 followers. Schweitzer deleted the photo, but that didn't do much good. Facebook has done more to make our "private" photos public than any other site, so countless Internet users felt schadenfreude that the founder's family's privacy had been breached. You can see the photo here (and many other places). Does this mean I have no human decency either?
2. Nathan Weaver, a student at Clemson University in South Carolina, wanted to figure out the best way to assist turtles in crossing the road, so he put a real-looking rubber turtle in the middle of a busy street near campus. In the next hour, seven drivers intentionally ran over the turtle and several more looked like they tried to hit it. About one in 50 hit the turtle. It takes turtles several minutes to cross roads, so evil humans could be the reason turtle populations are declining.

The tunnels under the border between Gaza and Egypt were flooded by Egyptian forces last week. The country is worried about the two-way flow of smuggled arms with the Gaza Strip which is destabilizing Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, increasingly a hotbed of disgruntled militant groups. The contentious border tunnels are a concern also to Israel, which has targeted the tunnels with airstrikes several times in the past.

Sarah Wagner's interest in American manufacturing began with a family road trip. She and her husband loaded up their motor home in summer 2011 and visited small towns across the country whose fate seemed to be tied to the presence of industry.
Where plants and factories had closed down, they found empty main streets with boarded-up storefronts. In other places, such as Forest City, Iowa, home to the Winnebago factory, they found vibrant communities where they could tour manufacturing facilities and witness the pride employees took in their work.
When the trip was over, she started a Twitter account to share resources for all things made stateside. As USA Love List has evolved into a website, Wagner has learned that even though she can find plenty of goods made in the United States, it's impossible to live off them.
But she said the holiday season is the perfect time to experiment with how far she can go. For the second year in a row, Wagner has pledged to buy as many gifts as possible made in the United States. Knowing where to start can be a challenge, but Wagner and others for whom conscious consumerism means buying American say there are many places to check out, from craft fairs, Etsy and specialty boutiques to e-commerce.
"Gift-giving creates the perfect opportunity to try to buy American. You have extra time to research, and you have flexibility in what you choose to buy," said the married mother of two from Philadelphia.
"I'm a realist. I know that it's impossible to buy entirely American-made products year-round, but I also know there's a lot of wonderful American-made products, made by proud Americans, and it's worth my time to look for them."
Wagner isn't alone. Motivated by a desire to boost the domestic economy or doubts over outsourcing, some Americans are making an effort to shop local for holiday gifts this year. It's a niche market, but it's one that has been growing in recent few years, and brands are starting to take notice.
A growing number of small companies have been catering to the desire for American-made clothing and accessories, fueled in large part by style blogs touting the benefits of heritage brands.
On a larger scale, Apple announced last week that it would shift some of its production back to the United States, citing customer demand for American-made products. Though some have characterized the announcement as a publicity ploy that won't do much to alter Apple's manufacturing operations, it follows a continuing pattern of American companies bringing manufacturing back home due to rising labor, supply and production costs in China.
Some say buying American is a drop in the bucket when it comes to boosting the domestic economy, but experts agree that every bit counts. Manufacturing has the highest multiplier effect of any industry, meaning that it benefits other sectors that supports its operations.
"Anytime something is manufactured in the United States it's going to have greater gains in terms of jobs than something made overseas," said Chad Moutray, chief economist for the National Association of Manufacturers.
Still, Apple's announcement won't help Wagner. Her son wants an iPod for Christmas, and she's going to get it for him despite the fact that it's assembled in China and will continue to be made there. (Apple only plans to manufacture some of its line of Macintosh computers in the United States.)
Otherwise, just about every gift on Wagner's holiday shopping list is made in the United States or locally sourced. The only other exception is a Skippyjon Jones children's picture book, which is written by an American author, and published by an American company, but printed in China. But pajamas bearing the cartoon cat's likeness that will accompany the book are made in America, she said.
Electronics and appliances made in the United States are hard to come by, but jewelry, clothing, accessories, beauty products, even holiday decorations are easier to find than you might think, she said.
Buying American for the holidays hasn't changed her budget significantly, she said. She'll spend about $700 on family, friends and white elephant gifts, about the same as in recent years. The only difference is that she spends a bit more time searching.
She's giving most of her relatives food gift baskets from local specialty markets, bakeries that make their own products or confectioners across the country. Others are getting hats, sweaters and bags made in the United States from brands whose products are available online.
Big-box retailers sometimes surprise with their "Made in the USA" labels, she said. She has found cast-iron cookware and paper products at Costco. Target and Wal-Mart sell some beauty products, candles and paper products that make great Secret Santa gifts.
"Once you start looking, it's amazing what you find," she said. "When you start to look, you notice patterns. I find new brands every time I go in."
Sarah Mazzone is also on mission to buy only American for the holiday season. She runs the website made in usa challenge, which she started in 2011 with the goal of finding and sharing domestically produced goods, from toys and clothes to food, wine and dog toys.
She spent about $300 on jewelry, toys and clothing from Etsy and e-commerce sites that she has learned about through her site. She even found a coloring book at Urban Outfitters. The only non-American product is a stuffed animal for her 2-year-old son, she said. When she can't find something made in the United States, she turns to thrift stores, which is where she found a life-size sea turtle toy for $8.

Please wait patiently for an official update."

Amazon sends out pre-order cancellation notices for Vanillaware RPG Dragon's Crown
NeoGAF users are reporting Amazon has cancelled pre-orders for Vanillaware's PS Vita-PS3 crossover, action-RPG Dragon's Crown, which is to be published by Ignition. We had a look over on Amazon, and sure enough, the game is no longer listed as far as we can tell – however, GAF notes it's a bit hard to find on the site. The game is still listed for sale on Amazon Canada, so hopefully it's just some sort of burp in the US system. It's possible, as things like this have happened before, most recently with GameStop's Last Guardian gaff. We'll send a mail just in case.

VarioCam Plus is a variable valve timing system on the inlet side which also features two-stage valve lift. For excellent smooth-running performance, better fuel economy and fewer emissions. And greater power and torque.
The timing of each valve is steplessly and electro-hydraulically controlled by means of a rotary vane adjuster.
For optimum responsiveness during the warm-up phase, VarioCam Plus will select the higher valve lift setting and retard valve timing. At medium revs and low engine loads, the lower valve lift setting is selected and timing advanced in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. For maximum power and torque, the higher lift setting is selected and the timing of the valves is advanced.

We found out today via the Vancouver Canucks on Twitter and via their press release that they've re-signed Mason Raymond. It's a 1 year 2.275M contact. WOW. Congrats May-Ray. Your rich.
Queue the band in Vancouver, as this move will be met with a chorus of Boos and Jeers I'm sure.
Per Darren Dreger
Canucks settle with Mason Raymond before arbitrations. 1 year, $2.275 mil.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) July 9, 2012
Per Capgeek.com the Canucks now have the No. 3 cap payroll in #NHL — $67.1M, 22 players are signed.
2012Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks President & General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have re-signed left wing Mason Raymond.
Raymond, 26, collected 20 points (10-10-20) in 55 games played with Vancouver in 2011.12. He also appeared in five post-season games, recording one point (0-1-1). The Cochrane, Alberta native has registered 156 career points (70-86-156) over the span of 328 NHL games. He was awarded the Fred J. Hume Award as the "Canucks Unsung Hero" in 2010 and was appointed to the NHL YoungStars Sophomore Team in 2009.
On the International stage, Raymond represented Canada at the 2010 World Championships.
The 6'0", 185 lbs. forward was originally drafted by Vancouver in the second round, 51st overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Goals 10 Assists 10 Points 20 +/- 4 PIM 18 Games 55
Statistics - Career
Most of us here at NWSB share the same opinion of Raymond. We wrote this in May.
It's time to break up with Mason Raymond, which will be tough because he's such a nice guy.
Bottom Line! Plain & Simple! Enough is Enough! Mason Raymond must go.
It's just that he has no real place on this team, so much so that I probably don't even need to spell it out.
It's not that Mason Raymond isn't a hockey player, it's that he's not what the Canucks need right now.
It's not him, it's us.

The statewide poll by Public Policy Polling surveyed 600 Louisiana voters to see who would win in a head-to-head match-up between New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and U.S. Senator David Vitter.
Each received 43-percent of the vote.
Landrieu is a Democrat, and Vitter is a Republican.
The poll also asked voters who they would elect for governor if it was between Landrieu and Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne, also a Republican.
The survey indicated the democratic mayor would win by a slight margin.
University of Louisiana Political Science Professor Joshua Stockley says there will be a lot of pressure on Landrieu to run for governor, given his popularity. He says if the New Orleans mayor has no intentions of running, then the Democratic Party needs to groom a candidate soon.
Landrieu is up for reelection as Mayor in 2014.
The next gubernatorial race is in 2015.

In particular, the office advocates in support of federal research and student aid funding, higher education policy and science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM) initiatives. The office coordinates the University's main interaction with Congress and monitors legislative activity to share and receive feedback from the University community. Such involvement in policy is vital as NYU receives federal funds for student aid, research and development, and other forms direct assistance. In 2009-10, faculty at the NYU and NYU's Medical Center received $294.5 million in federal research and development grant funding. In addition, NYU students rely heavily on federal student aid programs with over 64% of the student body receiving some form of financial aid during the 2011-12 academic year. The office also communicates with a wide range of federal agencies in an effort to advance the University's policy and research agenda, including the Department of Education, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy's Office of Science, Department of Defense Research agencies, and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

Comments about SKLZ(r) Quickster 7' x 7' Net:
I use this net for softball batting, pitching, and throwing. I like the target that is presented to help my daughter zero in her pitching. I also use this when coaching by giving my players a target during throwing drills. It is a large net unlike the Jugs pop-up net and gives more area to catch mis-thrown balls. Take the small pitching target out and you have a solid large area for batting drills. Overall I'm glad I purchased this net and recommend highly.

Julian Zanker Climbs Rätikon Lilith
The Rätikon is a very special area for me.
It's always a real pleasure to climb this beautiful, fastidious rock. We climbed a 230 meter long vertical wall named Lilith (7c+) with very small holds. After I broke my wrist I prefer to spend my free time on multi pitch routes.
It's always a fantastic experience and after a perfect day like this, I feel tired, out of power, but so lucky and alive. The first pitches were beautiful and after the second one it's very steep. I like :-)
It's always great to climb with my friend Beno. We understand each other very well and we have a lot of fun on the wall, which is really important.
I was able to climb pitch 6 (7b) and 7 (7c) onsight. I was very surprised because the Rätikon is not a climbing garden. The difficulty is situated highly. You have to push yourself and your partner.
After 5 hours of climbing we were at the top and enjoyed some bread and cheese...
Our view was facing to the "Silbergeier" (8b+) which is an amazing wall.
Since I'm a climber I dream about climbing that route....maybe I will sometime next year.

The Political History of Cap and Trade
How an unlikely mix of environmentalists and free-market conservatives hammered out the strategy known as cap-and-trade
- By Richard Conniff
- Smithsonian magazine, August 2009, Subscribe
John B. Henry was hiking in Maine's Acadia National Park one August in the 1980s when he first heard his friend C. Boyden Gray talk about cleaning up the environment by letting people buy and sell the right to pollute. Gray, a tall, lanky heir to a tobacco fortune, was then working as a lawyer in the Reagan White House, where environmental ideas were only slightly more popular than godless Communism. "I thought he was smoking dope," recalls Henry, a Washington, D.C. entrepreneur. But if the system Gray had in mind now looks like a politically acceptable way to slow climate change—an approach being hotly debated in Congress—you could say that it got its start on the global stage on that hike up Acadia's Cadillac Mountain.
People now call that system "cap-and-trade." But back then the term of art was "emissions trading," though some people called it "morally bankrupt" or even "a license to kill." For a strange alliance of free-market Republicans and renegade environmentalists, it represented a novel approach to cleaning up the world—by working with human nature instead of against it.
Despite powerful resistance, these allies got the system adopted as national law in 1990, to control the power-plant pollutants that cause acid rain. With the help of federal bureaucrats willing to violate the cardinal rule of bureaucracy—by surrendering regulatory power to the marketplace—emissions trading would become one of the most spectacular success stories in the history of the green movement. Congress is now considering whether to expand the system to cover the carbon dioxide emissions implicated in climate change—a move that would touch the lives of almost every American. So it's worth looking back at how such a radical idea first got translated into action, and what made it work.
The problem in the 1980s was that American power plants were sending up vast clouds of sulfur dioxide, which was falling back to earth in the form of acid rain, damaging lakes, forests and buildings across eastern Canada and the United States. The squabble about how to fix this problem had dragged on for years. Most environmentalists were pushing a "command-and-control" approach, with federal officials requiring utilities to install scrubbers capable of removing the sulfur dioxide from power-plant exhausts. The utility companies countered that the cost of such an approach would send them back to the Dark Ages. By the end of the Reagan administration, Congress had put forward and slapped down 70 different acid rain bills, and frustration ran so deep that Canada's prime minister bleakly joked about declaring war on the United States.
At about the same time, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) had begun to question its own approach to cleaning up pollution, summed up in its unofficial motto: "Sue the bastards." During the early years of command-and-control environmental regulation, EDF had also noticed something fundamental about human nature, which is that people hate being told what to do. So a few iconoclasts in the group had started to flirt with marketplace solutions: give people a chance to turn a profit by being smarter than the next person, they reasoned, and they would achieve things that no command-and-control bureaucrat would ever suggest.
The theory had been brewing for decades, beginning with early 20th-century British economist Arthur Cecil Pigou. He argued that transactions can have effects that don't show up in the price of a product. A careless manufacturer spewing noxious chemicals into the air, for instance, did not have to pay when the paint peeled off houses downwind—and neither did the consumer of the resulting product. Pigou proposed making the manufacturer and customer foot the bill for these unacknowledged costs—"internalizing the externalities," in the cryptic language of the dismal science. But nobody much liked Pigou's means of doing it, by having regulators impose taxes and fees. In 1968, while studying pollution control in the Great Lakes, University of Toronto economist John Dales hit on a way for the costs to be paid with minimal government intervention, by using tradable permits or allowances.
The basic premise of cap-and-trade is that government doesn't tell polluters how to clean up their act. Instead, it simply imposes a cap on emissions. Each company starts the year with a certain number of tons allowed—a so-called right to pollute. The company decides how to use its allowance; it might restrict output, or switch to a cleaner fuel, or buy a scrubber to cut emissions. If it doesn't use up its allowance, it might then sell what it no longer needs. Then again, it might have to buy extra allowances on the open market. Each year, the cap ratchets down, and the shrinking pool of allowances gets costlier. As in a game of musical chairs, polluters must scramble to match allowances to emissions.
Getting all this to work in the real world required a leap of faith. The opportunity came with the 1988 election of George H.W. Bush. EDF president Fred Krupp phoned Bush's new White House counsel—Boyden Gray—and suggested that the best way for Bush to make good on his pledge to become the "environmental president" was to fix the acid rain problem, and the best way to do that was by using the new tool of emissions trading. Gray liked the marketplace approach, and even before the Reagan administration expired, he put EDF staffers to work drafting legislation to make it happen. The immediate aim was to break the impasse over acid rain. But global warming had also registered as front-page news for the first time that sweltering summer of 1988; according to Krupp, EDF and the Bush White House both felt from the start that emissions trading would ultimately be the best way to address this much larger challenge.

We have to bring manufacturing back to America. Americans have sent our manufacturing to countries with a pollution control like where we were in the '60s -'70s. Wait till we have acid rain world wide.

Without cap and trade, polluting companies had no motivation to spend money on a multi-million dollar scrubber. Why spend money on something to prevent pollution when you could just pollute for free? There was no incentive for companies to spend money on scrubbers. However, when cap and trade came into effect and put a limit on emissions, it effectively forced companies to consider these expensive scrubbers as an alternative to fines for not having enough allowances. You don't need to buy allowances for prevented emissions, so in the long run, scrubbers became profitable. This also allowed for social benefit, as the article stated, because environmental quality increased. It doesn't fix all the lakes in New York and Canada that got sterilized by sulfuric acid though... :(

Why use a picture of steam to illustrate an article about alleged carbon emission pollution? The cooling of hot water doesn't emit carbon dioxide or any other pollutant, and using a picture of it is fraudulent.
Posted by Mike Miller on March 17,2010 | 10:17 AM
Big difference... utilities had a *solution* to acid rain - scrubbers. And how much effect did the delay of said legislation allow the technology to catch-up to the desired outcome? Maybe we would be better served by pouring money into solutions similar to scrubbers now?

The United Nations predicts the world population to peak around 2050 and then decline. For all of you Malthusians out there, you must know that the more advanced countries 1. Use more resources than less advanced countries. 2. The more advanced countries have a declining population. This seems to be a solution in itself.

"In 1968, while studying pollution control in the Great Lakes, University of Toronto economist John Dales hit on a way for the costs to be paid with minimal government intervention, by using tradable permits or allowances."
Tom Crocker, now at the University of Wyoming, should be credited alongside Mr. Dales. His work was published two years earlier. Is it possible to correct this?

I don't think anyone would disagree that cleaning up the environment is anything but a noble cause but we have to take into consideration the total effect of our decisions. Increasing the price of a resource, which we have become completely dependent on, such as fossil fuels, may not result in our desired outcome. If the increase of price causes a decrease in GDP it would mean less tax dollars to fund research for alternative energy. Shouldn't we instead be investing in what we know? The world's population is increasing and its forest life is decreasing. Human beings emit carbon dioxide and trees convert it back. As the population increases, so does the need for homes which are predominately made of wood. Human beings need cars for transportation and electricity for their houses which also emit carbon. It seems to me that the largest factor is population. Why can't we promote stabilizing the planets population and increase the plant life all the while continuing to search for a more environment friendly resource of energy.

Chris, are you a scientist? Do you realize that the scientific community has reached consensus that humans are speeding up the warming of our planet? I'm wondering how you feel justified to make such conclusions as calling the study of anthropogenically induced climate change "pseudo science." While warming and cooling cycles are a natural phenomenon, we know that CO2 traps heat, that CO2 levels have been significantly correlated with the Earth's average temp throughout history, and that humans are putting massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere at ever greater rates. Human induced climate change is real and it's something that needs to be addressed yesterday. Reducing meat consumption and especially that of beef is an awesome way for people to cut down their carbon footprint and environmental footprint in general. Still, we need to start charging the polluters who are destroying our planet.

Dear Editor,
I must take issue with the comparison of sulfur dioxide emissions and carbon dioxide emissions. Whereas the cause and effect of sulfur dioxide and acid rain is scientifically provable, manmade global warming caused by manmade carbon dioxide emissions is psuedo-science, or more kindly, merely a philosophy.
Living as I do a few miles from Kings Canyon National Park, I see regularly the results of global warming: the absence of 3,000 ft. of glacial ice. Global warming has, and perhaps will again occur. However, to think our puny efforts to curb carbon dioxide can stop or even slow down the forces that emptied Kings Canyon of ice or foolhardy.
On the other hand, eliminating air pollution is a noble cause; but to do the right thing for the wrong reason is ignorance. Cap and trade to slow down carbon emissions from factories is a drop in the bucket when it comes to curbing this otherwise essential element of Earth's atmosphere - and perhaps a crippling economic program with no positive result. If those who are truly interested in the greening of the planet, halting pollution of the oceans and deforestation of the continents is by far the greater cause.
More carbon dioxide is created - or failed to be converted into oxygen - by the cattle industry (which deforests huge tracts of 3rd world land to graze) than all factories combined. Gigantic herds of beef cattle and pigs create vast amounts of "greenhouse" gases. So if you're truly serious about curbing carbon emissions, become a vegetarian. Ah - but meat: this is America's sacred cow ( albeit a dead one)!

I have noticed from time to time that Smithsonian handles topics of political interest with an even hand. The Blue Sky article however betrayed a pronounced bias by labeling power plant emissions as "global warming emissions." This implies a link between the carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and global temperature. While this is a strong – almost religious- belief of many, including some scientists, it is not a fact. The earth's surface temperature has been cooling for the last ten years. There is some evidence, based on ice and subsea sediment cores, that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide lag warming trends – they are an effect of warming, not its cause. Parts of the arctic do seem to be warming, although this is probably due to changes in ocean currents, but other parts of the globe seem to be cooling. Attributing any of this to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions is based on conjecture and overparameterized models, not observational science.

"Our kids, they don't quit," Navarre coach Jay Walls said after the Raiders held on for a 35-28 win Friday at Niceville. "They really believe they're going to find a way to get the job done."
Gatlin Casey intercepted a tipped Niceville pass with 9 seconds left to squash the Eagles' final threat, an ending reminiscent of Nick Benton's last-minute goal line pick a week earlier that sealed a 19-13 win at Pace.
Navarre improved to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in District 2-6A. Niceville, the defending district champion, is 2-2 and 0-1.

It also challenged the contention by Navy officials that the Rapidgate program amounted to a money saving move because of the fees paid by contractors for credentials.
"The cost reportedly absorbed by contractors to obtain Rapidgate credentials are transferred back to the Navy in the form of higher contract overhead costs and other contract fees," the audit said, adding that the lack of transparent accounting meant that the Navy "is unable to account for actual NCACS-related charges from contractor companies."
For example, it said, the Navy incurred NCACS-related charges of at least $1.28 million for 17 of the more than 30,000 contractor companies enrolled in the program.
In a statement Wednesday, Eid Passport CEO Steve Larson said the company welcomed audits and "looks forward to working with the Department of Defense to further refine and advance the world's best high-assurance identity management solution."
The statement contained no direct response to specific findings of the audit.
Hagel ordered a worldwide review of physical security measures at all U.S. military installations following Monday's shooting.
The Pentagon also is expected to review security clearances and access standards for contractors and other employees, according to a Defense Department official.
At the White House on Tuesday, spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that the Director of National Intelligence "is currently undertaking a review of the security clearance policy for certain contractors."
In addition, he said, President Barack Obama directed the Office of Management and Budget was "examining standards for contractors and employees across federal agencies."

My husband and I have just arrived back from a lovely week at Lloret where we had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel TOP Royal Beach. The hotel is... well situated for the beach and local amenities, even the local L2 bus to Lloret town centre stops outside the hotel. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly especially the waiter in the roof terrace bar. Facilities spotlessly clean, with rooms and bathroom adequately furnished with powerful shower and lots of hot water! The only draw back was the non sound proofed rooms. Even though speaking at normal levels conversations were clearly heard. This is a good hotel if you are looking for value for money and we are looking to return later in the Season.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Thanksgiving at Plymouth
In September 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth, England, carrying 102 passengers—an assortment of religious separatists seeking a new home where they could freely practice their faith and other individuals lured by the promise of prosperity and land ownership in the New World. After a treacherous and uncomfortable crossing that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape Cod, far north of their intended destination at the mouth of the Hudson River. One month later, the Mayflower crossed Massachusetts Bay, where the Pilgrims, as they are now commonly known, began the work of establishing a village at Plymouth.
Throughout that first brutal winter, most of the colonists remained on board the ship, where they suffered from exposure, scurvy and outbreaks of contagious disease. Only half of the Mayflower's original passengers and crew lived to see their first New England spring. In March, the remaining settlers moved ashore, where they received an astonishing visit from an Abenaki Indian who greeted them in English. Several days later, he returned with another Native American, Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold into slavery before escaping to London and returning to his homeland on an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the settlers forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a local tribe, which would endure for more than 50 years and tragically remains one of the sole examples of harmony between European colonists and Native Americans.
In November 1621, after the Pilgrims' first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony's Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American's "first Thanksgiving"—although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time—the festival lasted for three days. While no record exists of the historic banquet's exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a "fowling" mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower's sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations.

A law enacted by a legislative body - such as the United States Congress, or a state senate. Statutes are the primary source of law in the United States, and typically authorize an administrative agency (such as the Federal Communications Commission, or the Securities Exchange Commission) to adopt rules pursuant to the Statute. Rules are more specific laws that arise from the Statute.
See also:
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A written law passed by Congress or a state legislature and signed into law by the president or a state governor. (In fairly rare circumstances, a legislative act can become law without the approval of the head of the executive branch of government.) Statutes are often gathered into compilations called "codes," large sets of books that can be found in many public and all law libraries and on the Internet.

Hi all, Just thought I'd stop by for a quick introduction of myself. I'm a 20-year-old history buff who has found a newly ignited interest in Civil War history, including the Antebellum and Reconstruction eras. I suppose I've always had a unique draw to the Civil War, but it's really become more of a passion for me after recently reading Bruce Catton's "The Coming Fury" (I'm currently on the second book of his trilogy, "Terrible Swift Sword"). The political and social aspects of the war and the periods beyond are of particular interest to me, but unfortunately I don't know too many people outside my family who are as interested as I am. So, I thought I'd join the community and learn from others, maybe even contribute if I feel confident enough. I'm not an academic, but I hope to someday go further in my studies and become a writer, perhaps even specializing in Civil War history. Cheers, J.B. (jbrown92) |

Welcome to the forum! I got my start in the Civil War reading Catton's Army of the Potomac trilogy. Hope you chime in soon! Mark |

Welcome to the board! I got hooked on the Civil War when I was a little kid. My oldest brother taught me to read with a book called, "The Golden Book of the Civil War." Bruce Catton did the Forward in it. I probably read that book about 25 times growing up. Currently reading Robertson's book on AP Hill. Its a pretty good book and I had an ancestor in Hill's division which makes it even more interesting. |
