Editor's note: This is one in a series of profiles of World War II veterans, published on Mondays.
By Jeff Malachowski
Daily News Staff
Cranston Rogers calls his time fighting on the Siegfried Line along the border of France and Germany during World War II "the worst days of my life."
Under a nearly constant barrage of artillery fire from Nazi soldiers in the fall and winter of 1944, Rogers, and his fellow soldiers in the 103rd Infantry Division faced the possibility of being wounded or killed every second of every day during battle.
"The casualty rate was pretty severe," said Rogers, who was drafted at age 19 into the Army shortly after graduating from high school in Orlando, Florida. "We lost a lot of men. Those were the worst days. The Germans, no question, were committed to keeping us out of Germany. Fatigue was a problem. It was just traumatic. The shelling was constant."
During one firefight on the Siegfried Line, a line of defensive forces and tank barriers stretching 390 miles along the German border, Rogers was discussing strategy with a soldier standing next to him when the soldier fell back, holding his mouth. The soldier had been shot, but survived.
"He had to deal with losing a tooth," said Rogers, who keeps three pieces of concrete from the Siegfried Line in a German ashtray on his living room table. "I was lucky to survive those things. A little bit this way, a little bit that way and I could've been killed."
Known by family and friends as "Chan," Rogers, an all-state high school halfback in Florida, dodged death again while his unit attacked a schoolhouse where more than 100 Nazi soldiers were stationed.
In front of the school was an eight-foot high wall of crumbled bricks. On the front lines of the attack, Rogers tripped and fell while running up the mountain of bricks while two American officers were shot and killed by Nazi troops on the other side.
"The Germans were setting us up," he said as he thumbed through pictures of himself donning his uniform.
As Rogers sits in the office of his Medway home, which is adorned with plaques celebrating his military and civil engineering careers, he remarks how lucky he is that he wasn't killed, a fate many at the infamous Dachau concentration camp couldn't avoid, he says.
As a 20-year-old sergeant with the 45th Infantry Division on April 29, 1945, Rogers and his unit liberated the prisoners at the concentration camp where more than 30,000 people had been tortured and killed.
Before entering Dachau, Rogers had never heard of a concentration camp and was astounded to see the condition of the prisoners.
"It was unbelievable," he said. "We couldn't imagine any civilized group could do this to people. It was difficult for me to fathom how the Germans could do this."
One of Rogers' first missions in Dachau was to shake down houses to find and capture German soldiers. But instead, he found several Dutch prisoners hiding in the basement of one of the homes.
"They were overwhelmed," he says with a smile. "One grabbed me around the neck and kissed me."
Nearly 70 years after liberating the camp, Rogers, three other veterans and three survivors of concentration camps joined 19 students and faculty members from the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri, to visit Dachau. Rogers provided a first-hand account to the students and teachers of the cruelty that had been inflicted there.
"I wanted to get a better feel for where we were and what happened," Rogers said of the site, which has been converted into a museum.
At the conclusion of the war in Europe, Rogers was set to be shipped to Japan. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war, and his deployment was cancelled.
"I was not happy to know I had to go to the Pacific after fighting in Europe," he said. "We probably saved more lives, including Japanese civilians, than if we invaded the place."
Upon returning home, Rogers stayed in the Army Reserve until 1978 where he rose to the rank of colonel. Rogers attended and graduated from The Citadel and would later come to Boston, where his experience overseeing a battalion of men during World War II helped him during a nearly 50-year career as a civil engineer. He retired in 2002.
Some of his major accomplishments include being the chief engineer of the Dewey Square tunnel project and designing the tunnels built under the operating rail lines at South Station during the Big Dig.
"My service improved my own ability later in life to be effective," said Rogers, the father of seven boys and one girl. "I don't regret it in anyway. I learned leadership."
Married to his wife Francine for the past 46 years, Rogers stays in contact with members of the 103rd Infantry Division living across the country. He also serves as the president of the 103rd World War II Infantry Division Association.
While arthritis in his shoulders, knees and elbows makes it difficult for him to maneuver around his home, Rogers keeps his mind sharp by staying current on world news and politics, and writing.
"I still consider myself very fortunate to be doing well," he said.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE crochet and all that it encompasses. I especially love reviewing new crochet books that come out on our market. I am lucky to have a wonderful library full of fun, interesting and informative knit and crochet books.
One of my favorite kind of books are technique books that teach me new things about crochet and other needlework art forms. When I received Dora's new book "The New Tunisian Crochet" Contemporary Designs from Time Honored Traditions, by Dora Ohrenstein, "Interweave/F+W Media; $24.95.", I knew that I had hit the jackpot! Dora and Interweave have put together an incredibly beautiful and informative book!
"Wow", is all I kept saying as I flipped through it's pages. To say that Dora's new book is beautiful is an understatement. It is not only a lovely book that I will always cherish, it has and is teaching me wonderful things about the art of Tunisian crochet!

Dora begins the book with a chapter entitled, "What is Tunisian Crochet". It includes beautiful photographs, a brief history of Tunisian crochet and how it has been brought into the modern world. Another chapter discusses all you need to know to work Tunisian crochet including techniques, basic stitches, decreasing and increasing, working tall and textured stitches, changing colors and so much more! You learn how to make a swatch and there are many tips and tricks along the way. There is a chapter for special techniques and effects including working circles, combining Tunisian with regular crochet, Tunisian colorwork and even Tunisian entrelac. In a separate chapter on stitch patterns, there are 28 pages and 33 beautiful stitch patterns, all in beautiful color. The book concludes with projects for 11 stunning Tunisian crochet projects, from sweaters to easy smaller projects, as well as some home decor, designed by "some of crochet's masters". This book has everything you will ever need to get started and go way beyond learning about the art of Tunisian crochet. I will always treasure this beautiful book in my library!

| Unova's Survival Crisis!
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Unova's Survival Crisis! (Japanese: 霊獣フォルム総進撃!イッシュ最大の危機!! The Reijuu Formes Advance! Isshu's Greatest Crisis!!) is the 97th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 754th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on October 4, 2012, in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2012 and in the United States on January 26, 2013.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Team Rocket has captured Meloetta, brought it to the Undersea Temple, and used a recording of Meloetta's song to raise the temple to the surface. As Operation Tempest continues, Giovanni acquires the mysterious Reveal Glass and uses it to summon the three Legendary Pokémon Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus!
Meloetta's protector, Ridley, explains that whoever controls Meloetta also controls these three ancient powers. Team Rocket's plan is just the latest attempt by evildoers over the years to take over the Unova region using the power of the Reveal Glass. Our heroes watch in horror as the three Legendary Pokémon change into Therian Forme and prepare to wreak havoc upon Unova! As Ash and Pikachu escape from their cage, an enormous Pokémon battle takes shape: Iris's Dragonite, Cilan's Pansage, Cynthia's Garchomp, Ridley's Golurk, and Ash's Unfezant join with Pikachu to stand against the fearsome Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus. A crackling attack from Thundurus almost strikes Iris down, but Pikachu flings itself into the bolt's path to protect her. Using the extra electricity it absorbed from that attack, Pikachu launches a massive Electro Ball to overpower Team Rocket and free Meloetta!
But Giovanni still holds the Reveal Glass, and without Meloetta's calming influence, he is completely overcome with evil ambitions: instead of conquering the Unova region, he now wants to destroy it! But Jessie, James, and Meowth intervene to sway their Boss from this disastrous path. As soon as he returns to his senses, Team Rocket reluctantly retreats.
Ridley uses the Reveal Glass to return the three Legendary Pokémon to their Incarnate Forme, and Meloetta soothes their rage with its song. With disaster averted, Ridley and Meloetta bid our heroes farewell and prepare to return to home. But Ash knows they will meet again someday, and all eyes once again turn toward the Unova League!

At sea, Cynthia, Ridley, and Ash's friends are racing to the temple on a boat. Ridley is in pain because he can feel Meloetta suffering. At the temple, the Reveal Glass hovers in the air and shoots a beam of light into the sky before disappearing into a portal that soon grows into dark foreboding clouds. Going back to Ridley, he reveals Team Rocket is planning to use Meloetta to control the three Legendary Pokémon to take control nature to rule Unova. All of a sudden, the weather turns bad as the Legendary Pokémon appear, creating swells and high winds. Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus appear and Giovanni uses the Reveal Glass to expose the Legendary Pokémon's other forms. In the containment field, Ash urges Pikachu to try to escape again using Iron Tail on a single point, eventually freeing the two. They run out in an attempt to save Meloetta, but Jessie and James call out Woobat and Yamask. The two Pokémon use Air Slash and Shadow Ball to send Ash and Pikachu flying off the temple, but they are saved by Ridley's Golurk.
Golurk takes Ash and Pikachu to the bottom of the ruins where the others have just arrived. Determined to stop Team Rocket, the group calls out their Pokémon: Garchomp, Dragonite, Pansage, and Unfezant with Pikachu on her back. Without waiting for Iris's orders, Dragonite flies off to battle the three Legendary Pokémon.
At the top of the temple, the Reveal Glass glows red, throwing the trainer's Pokémon back, and finally revealing the other forms of the Legendary trio. As the red glow recedes, Giovanni can be seen having a red aura around him. Dragonite, as aggressive as ever, rushes into battle, though is clearly outmatched. Iris begs with Dragonite to not battle alone and instead work with the other Pokémon. Giovanni orders the three Legendary Pokémon to battle. Using a combination of Air Cutter and Stone Edge, Tornadus and Landorus knock the Dragon Pokémon to the ground in front of the trainers and appears to be hurt. Thundurus then faces Dragonite and unleashes a powerful electric attack, but Iris steps in front of the attack to protect her Pokémon. Before the attack hits, Pikachu jumps in front of it and absorbs the electricity while Unfezant drives off Thundurus with Air Cutter. Seeing how much Iris cares for him, Dragonite finds new-found trust in his trainer and once again rushes off to battle with the others, although they are clearly at a disadvantage to the powerful trio.
Unhappy with the rate at which the battle is going, Giovanni orders the trio to unleash their true power. All attacking at once, the trio knock the trainers' Pokémon into the sea before covering it with ice that advances all the way to the city nearby. However, the Pokémon break through the ice and are ready to battle once more. Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu finally reach the top of the temple. Ash demands that Meloetta be returned. When Team Rocket refuses, Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball. Unlike Pikachu's normal Electro Balls though, this one has been enhanced with the electricity Pikachu absorbed from Thundurus's attack and enlarged. When it is released, it obliterates the top of the temple and frees Meloetta, but also causes the Reveal Glass to shoot a beam of light directly into Giovanni's face.
As the smoke clears, the temple is shown to be in rubble and Team Rocket is stunned. Out of the smoke comes Meloetta riding on Unfezant's back. Seeing that Meloetta has escaped, Team Rocket suggests they recapture it, but Giovanni says Meloetta is no longer necessary. As he gets up, he is shown to have a red circular symbol on his forehead and his eyes are glowing red. In addition, he has complete control over the Legendary trio and has become drunk with power. Giovanni orders the trio to destroy Unova. Seeing that their boss has become insane, Jessie, James, and Meowth tackle Giovanni outside the boundary of the temple, thus freeing him from its influence. Outside the temple's influence, Giovanni doesn't remember what happened. Dr. Zager tells him they can no longer control the trio, so they retreat under the cover of Yamask's Haze. Unfezant uses Gust to blow away the smoke, revealing Team Rocket escaping in a jet. As they head back to Kanto, Jessie and James vow to return having witnessed just how powerful Pikachu truly is.
Meanwhile, the trainers' Pokémon are still battling the Legendary trio. Ridley replaces the Reveal Glass and asks it to calm down the trio. It does and the trio revert back to their original form.
Back on the boat, the group is heading back to land. In the distance, the temple is sinking back into the sea. Back on shore, the group says farewell to Ridley and Meloetta. Oshawott is crying that his crush Meloetta is leaving, and Pikachu is by his side the entire time as he attempts to comfort the Sea Otter Pokémon.

Rinse hair thoroughly until the water runs clear and then wash with an appropriate shampoo such as APIVITA PROLOLINE shampoo for colored hair with sunflower and honey.
7. Apply the post-color treatment (C). Massage into hair thoroughly to enable the ingredients to penetrate and stabilize the color.
8. Leave on for 3 minutes and rinse well with lukewarm water.
The product is effective only if applied immediately after mixing. Do not store the mixture.
As hair grows you may need to cover the roots (after 3-4 weeks from the initial application)

- Apply the mixture to the roots using the tip of the applicator bottle to separate the stands. Leave it on for 20 minutes.
- Apply the remaining mixture on the rest of the hair, massage gently and leave in place for another 10 minutes.

Amrd necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 113 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
3rd Shore Solutions LLC
3rd Shore Solutions LLC is a brand new business offering software solutions and technology consulting to businesses. Need a web portal or mobile application for your business? We will build it for you. Need help deciding which software to buy or rescue a problem project? We can help. Our company was formed by two IT professionals who worked in financial services for years and wanted more from their software vendors. We decided to create our own shop, with a customer-focused culture that encourages innovation and a pragmatic, no-non-sense way of conducting business.
One of the founders was driving through the Great Lakes region and came across "Third Coast" as an expression used to describe Lake Michigan's expansive coastline. The name clicked, and another partner suggested changing coast to shore to broaden the name's association beyond a particular region and to encourage a new mindset as far as "onshore" or "offshore" sourcing is concerned when selecting software vendors.
We are a Massachusetts-based business.
Our target customer is a medium to large business looking for pragmatic software solutions and consulting.
We are looking for an exciting yet professional logo that represents our outlook on software (see above). It needs to be different, vibrant and deliberate. Professional does not necessarily mean boring!
This logo is needed in three variations:
1. Full logo with our brand name "3rd Shore Solutions LLC".
2. Logo icon without the words 3rd Shore Solutions LLC. This requires a logo that can be an icon on its own, so keep that in mind when designing.
3. Expanded logo with the brand name, plus "Software | Services" in close proximity, creating one block of imagery.
We would like two sets, one with color, and another in black and white to facilitate economical printing. We'll need high quality jpeg and raw files.
As far as color goes, we like purple, and welcome you to mix it with other colors. We are open to illustrations, icons, whatever it takes to convey the points above. Please avoid using standard corporate colors currently in rampant use, bright orange, neon green and cyan blue. We want the colors of our logo to match our personality, not what's trendy today. Also, you can take our name in the literal sense or in the abstract, we are open to either approach, again, as long as it conveys our professional personality.

Nuclear power is supported by a global network of companies supplying technology, services and fuel to the operators of nuclear power plants. When there are trade disputes between nations, sometimes this can have an effect on companies that run nuclear power plants in the U.S. Recently, the U.S. has been imposing tariffs on imports and has been hit with reciprocal tariffs on U.S. goods being exported.

Many areas hope to increase tourism in order to generate more revenue, but not Venice. Venice has plenty of tourists. Venice has so many tourists, in fact, that they are thinking about banning booze just to get rid of them. The problem, it should be noted, is not tourism itself, but the rowdy drunk tourists who act like fools in the streets and disrupt everybody's daily life.

Holiday shoppers plan to spend $776 on gifts this holiday season, on average, according to a recent NerdWallet survey �conducted by The Harris Poll. But contrary to what you might think,
Holiday shoppers plan to spend $776 on gifts this holiday season, on average, according to a recent NerdWallet survey �conducted by The Harris Poll.
But contrary to what you might think, a season full of spending can also be an opportunity for saving.
Here are three underutilized and overlooked strategies that can help you get more mileage out of that $776 " or spend less than you originally planned.1. �Lean on money-saving apps
When asked which methods they plan to use to save money when shopping for any reason this holiday season, just 36% of Americans said they'll use money-saving apps, according to the NerdWallet survey. (These include things like coupon apps, price comparison apps and cash-back apps.)
Coupon apps such as ShopSavvy, Flipp and The Coupons App can help shoppers compare prices, clip coupons and even browse nearby deals based on their location. And cash-back apps can earn shoppers money back on qualifying purchases.
'Cash-back apps can help shoppers offset the cost of their holiday spending by putting a percentage of each purchase back into their accounts,' says NerdWallet personal finance expert Kimberly Palmer. 'Saving even small amounts can add up to less stress when it's time to pay your credit card bill.'
To free up some extra room in your budget, load up your phone with apps before you start checking gifts off your list.2. Shop doorbuster deals
Even fewer Americans plan to take advantage of doorbusters, according to the NerdWallet survey. Just 33% say they plan to attend doorbuster sales " those that are available only at a particular time of a specific day, usually for a specific item or type of item.
But especially for big-ticket purchases such as TVs or gaming consoles, �taking advantage of the limited-time, limited-quantity doorbusters offered by retailers on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday can be beneficial.
'If there's an item you have your eye on, and you expect it to be marked down significantly on Black Friday, that can be a great opportunity to score a deal,' Palmer says. 'Just make sure you research the item ahead of time so you know exactly what you want, because supplies can run out quickly, and you have to act fast.'
Many doorbuster deals are available both in store and online, so the cold and the crowds don't have to deter your deal searching.3. Regift, within reason
Although �an overwhelming 70% of Americans admit to having regifted a holiday present at some point, most don't do so for budget reasons: Only 31% of those who've regifted say they've done so to save money, according to the NerdWallet survey.
But regifting holiday gifts is perfectly fine, according to lifestyle and etiquette expert Elaine Swann. It can be frugal and thoughtful.
If you're going to regift, ensure the item is in mint condition. Remove any trace of the original wrapping and put it in a new gift bag, Swann says. And make sure the person you're giving the gift to doesn't know the person you received the gift from.
One more tip for future regifting: For any presents you receive that miss the mark, Swann says to hide them away with a note to help you remember who gave you the gift in the first place.

If you haven't seen the Ayrton Senna F1 documentary Senna you must be sick of hearing other car guys constantly talk about how great it is. Now here's your chance to see it for free, on your computer, right now.
The film is now on Netflix, which means those of us with Netflix accounts can watch it as part of our normal subscription viewing. But what if you don't have a Netflix account?
Reader RXEight explains what to do:
Watch Senna for free. As some of you probably know you can watch Senna on Netflx. But what if you dont have netflix and dont want to pay for netflix? Well you can sign up for a 30 day free trial, watch the movie, then delete your account before 30 days is up. You wont get charged anything. That's exactly what I did.
See, easy as Pi, which is another video you should watch before your trial is up.

The Internets are all abuzz with a new study published by Nature Climate Change (a sister publication of the prestigious science journal, Nature) about the potential climate impacts of Alberta's oil reserves.
The study, undertaken by Andrew Weaver of the University of Victoria – a former lead author with the IPCC and probably Canada's most prominent climate scientist – and his student, Neil Swart, crunched the numbers on future greenhouse gas emissions from various fuel sources. The researchers arrived at some sums that surprised them, particularly regarding the climate impact of Alberta's oil sands, which have lately been characterized by NASA's James Hansen and other opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline as a "carbon bomb" whose full development would spell "game over" for the biosphere.
Weaver and Swart found that even if every drop of sludgy bitumen beneath Alberta's boreal forest were mined, upgraded, piped and pumped, it would only add at most 0.6 degrees F to global warming. Since even the most ambitious scenarios for the growth of Alberta's oil industry would see just a fraction of that total mined over the next 20 years, the study concluded that the actual impact of the oil sands is more likely to be less than 0.1 degree F. The real carbon bombs, they found, were coal and unconventional natural gas (the stuff "fracked" out of solid rock in places like the Marcellus Shale deposit in Pennsylvania and upstate New York).
"Our overarching conclusion," Weaver wrote in a clarification at the Huffington Post, "is that as a society, we will live or die by our future consumption of coal."
On the face of it, this discovery would seem to indicate that the environmental movement's current Public Enemy No. 1, the Keystone pipeline (which would deliver 700,000 barrels per day of Albertan oil to refineries on the Gulf Coast of the United States), is a minor target in the wrong battle.
Of course, there's much more to this debate beneath the surface of things. "It would be a huge mistake," Weaver argued, "to interpret our results as some kind of a 'get out of jail free' card for the tar sands." When he announced his findings to the press, Weaver emphasized the deeper issue: "I have always said that the tar sands are a symptom of a very big problem. The problem is dependence on fossil fuels."
Let's repeat that: The problem is dependence on fossil fuels. I couldn't agree more, and I'd argue further that the only sustainable long-term solution is one in which fossil fuels are wholly supplanted by renewable energy. And so the question becomes not Should we use Alberta's oil? but How do we build a green energy economy in the fastest possible way?
Note that I'm not talking about reducing emissions. If you focus on reducing emissions, you can all too quickly vanish down a labyrinthine wormhole of carbon trading and nonbinding international treaties and everything else that has delayed action on climate change for the last 20 years. Better to focus on greening the grid, whose chief byproduct just happens to be reducing emissions.
This isn't just a rhetorical game. How you frame an argument – or a protest or a policy initiative – determines quite a lot about how it's received, where and how it's discussed. Talk about carbon bombs, and you set scientists to work figuring out how big the blast would be; talk about coal as a horribly destructive way to make electricity, and just maybe you might be able to introduce carbon-free generating methods into the discussion.
Climate policy is, to my mind, best understood as a proxy for energy policy. The real motivating power in most jurisdictions is not in whatever middling climate bureaucracy has been established there (which, unless you are in Europe, barely deserves the faint praise of being called "middling"). No, the rubber meets the road in the energy departments and natural resource ministries.
Which brings me to another very interesting idea that has emerged from the halls of academia on Canada's west coast: University of British Columbia professor George Hoberg's riff on "The Three Logics of Climate Politics." Here's Hoberg's overview of the trio in brief:
One is the climate skeptic, convinced either that climate science is exaggerated or that the costs of action outweigh the benefits. Another is the climate policy analyst who accepts the climate science and evaluates policies designed to meet climate targets based on their cost-effectiveness. The third is the climate advocate, who is convinced there is a climate crisis and focuses on which political strategies are best suited to decarbonizing the energy system.
In the case of Keystone and carbon bombs, what we're witnessing is, in part, a debate between climate analysts and climate advocates. Analysts like Weaver and Swart run models and crunch numbers and arrive at the logical conclusion that Alberta's tar sands, though environmentally problematic on several fronts, do not represent a climate crisis in and of themselves, especially compared to the ongoing catastrophe of coal (which, they found, could add nearly 30 degrees F to global mean temperatures – that is not a typo – if we burned all the world's known reserves of it).
Advocates, meanwhile, see a huge political opportunity in the Keystone debate. Time's Bryan Walsh summarizes their strategy:
Greens have seized on the pipeline not because the construction of Keystone itself would be so disastrous, or even that the oil sands as a whole are decisive for the global climate, but because the project is a clear symbol that can be overtly opposed. It helps as well that the decision on Keystone XL fell to President Obama, who might actually listen to his environmental base — unlike the conservative-dominated Congress. And the public always tends to be suspicious of newer development, which might make it easier to lead a campaign against oil sands than coal, which we've lived with for more than a century.
Another voice on the advocate side is David Roberts at Grist, who's his usual cogent self in his explanation of the logic behind the Keystone protest. I'll quote him at a bit of length:
From the perspective of policy analysis, Keystone is a marginal issue. Very Serious People agree that Canada's dirty oil is going to get burned eventually. There are other, larger sources of carbon, and more economically sensible ways to curtail them. There activists go again, making a big fuss and a bunch of exaggerated claims about something that, measured by tons of carbon reduction, is small beans relative to climate change.
Thing is, no one argues that blocking Keystone XL is a substitute for, or even a substantial step toward, coherent climate policy. The only solution that can really be said to be commensurate with the problem is some kind of global deal on carbon pricing and energy innovation. That's not on the table. Nor is any kind of comprehensive national solution. Even if they were, we've already seen that "pricing carbon" doesn't exactly get people into the streets. To find the stories/conflicts that get people fired up, activists have to come closer to home, to individual pipelines or coal plants or corporate groups like the Chamber of Commerce. The goal of activism is not primarily to craft policy but to shift the balance of power, to open a space for policymakers and their wonks to work.
I can see the logic of this approach, as far as it goes. And I think Hoberg's done a fine job summing up the differences in thinking between analysts and advocates. Except for one thing: I think he left out a fourth category of climate logic, the one that's closest to my take on it. For now, I'll employ a bit of gentle self-mockery and call us The Renewable Energy Geeks.
Note David Roberts' use of the term commensurate in his post. We usually take this to mean "equivalent in size or scale." This leads to the perception in some circles that only a global treaty of Kyoto scale could possibly tackle the climate problem. But after I read Roberts I went digging for my OED to get the exact wording for another definition of commensurate: "corresponding in nature . . . belonging to the same category."
This is the big thing for us Renewable Energy Geeks, or for this one, at least: neither climate analysis nor climate advocacy belongs to the same category as an oil pipeline. Climate policy generally falls under the auspices of environmental regulation regimes, where it's treated (or ignored) like any other kind of pollution; an oil pipeline is energy infrastructure. You'd have to move to another building in most capital cities to even begin talking about solutions to the climate crisis, and energy policy is where the big decisions are actually made on that subject. And to get from talk of tar sands carbon bombs to talk of the green economy, you'd likely have to switch the subject further, from cars and their gas tanks to all the other energy we use every day.
Which brings me to the Renewable Energy Geek's key point: renewable energy in most of its market-readiest forms is not a replacement for transport fuel; it's an alternative form of electricity generation. It does not supplant oil; it supplants coal. And coal, as Swart and Weaver have just demonstrated, is a much, much bigger problem for the planet than unconventional oil reserves are.
This is not an argument for Keystone (or the even dodgier Northern Gateway pipeline proposal to route oil sands bitumen through the Great Bear Rainforest to China). It's merely a suggestion to climate advocates and analysts alike that neither of their approaches confronts the fossil-fuel regime most directly at its most vulnerable spot. You'll hear some spirited defenses of the automobile far beyond the corporate offices of Alberta's oil industry, but if the price tags were similar, almost anyone not currently employed in the coal industry or running for Congress as a Republican would pick a solar panel over a coal plant.
What's more, by even the most evangelical green advocate's accounting, we'll need oil in substantial quantities for at least another generation, whereas renewables are ready right now to take the place of coal on the grid. Fight oil pipelines, and in effect you're fighting to slow down the expansion of hydrocarbon hegemony. Take on coal, and you're fighting much more directly for a clean-powered world.

While production of the Toyota 86— the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ in the United States, the Toyota GT-86 for Europe—started in early March, there is no shortage of power-hungry tuners going to town on the latest Japanese sport coupe.
This particular Toyota 86 is a D1 competition drift car in development for driver Manabu "Max" Orido's 2012 campaign.
According to his Drift Japan bio, Orido is an underground street-racer-turned-legitimate competitor who has been involved with the drift scene since its official beginnings in Japan in 2000. He also competes in the Japanese Super GT series.
While this "Hachi-Roku" is not yet finished, the Lexus IS-F 5.0-liter V8 shoehorned between the wheels dismantles the rear rubbers quite effectively in testing, as seen in the video below.
Details on the design and the specifications are sparse, but from the video it appears that the 86 is far from stock, with a full race interior, engine bay and what appears to be a carbon-fiber roof, in addition to the widened front fenders and the stretched rear quarters.
The 2012 D1 Grand Prix begins April 14-15 in Tokyo at the Odaiba circuit.

Enrollment Q & A
How can I find out information about your school?
We encourage our interested families to attend an enrollment information session to find out more about our school's programs and offerings as this is the perfect platform to ask your questions to faculty and staff. We also offer tours on an ongoing basis. Visit our events page to see a list of information sessions and tours being offered.
Are there age restrictions for school grade levels?
Florida law (Section 1003.21(1)(a)2, Florida Statutes) specifies that children who have attained the age of five years on or before September 1 of the school year are eligible for admission to public kindergarten during that school year.
How can I apply if I do not have a computer or internet access?
Contact our school for assistance.
Can I list all my children on one application?
Each child's application becomes part of their registration in our student information system where grades, schedules and attendance is stored. Please complete a separate application for each one of your children and list the siblings within each application to receive sibling preference.
If my child is a current student, do I need to apply again?
No, your child automatically has a space in the appropriate grade if the Intent to Return for the next school year is completed by the deadline.
If I have one child who currently attends your school and I would like my other child to attend, what should I do?You need to fill out an application during open enrollment for the other child. Please remember to list the currently enrolled student under the "sibling attending" section of the application to receive sibling preference in the lottery.
Open Enrollment has ended, am I still able to apply?
We continuously accept applications through the last day of the school year that you are applying for. If there is a seat available in the grade level that you are applying for, an offer will be made through email. If there are no openings in the grade level you are applying for, your child's application will be placed on the waitlist in the date order the application was received.
I am currently on the waitlist. Does the waitlist expire once the new lottery is run or does it carry over?
Applications are year specific. Applications submitted for the current school year will not be valid, roll over, or be processed in the next school year. If your child is currently on the waitlist, please submit a new application during the next school year's Open Enrollment period.
If my child is on the waitlist, do I need to contact you to find out where he/she stands on the list?
Parents can login to the SchoolMint Dashboard at any time to find where their child is on the waitlist.
My child is on the waitlist, but has moved down a spot. How is this possible?
Undoubtedly this is frustrating. We follow the preferences permitted by the state (sibling, military, employee, etc.). For example, when one sibling is accepted and has another sibling waitlisted in another grade, that waitlisted sibling gets an enrollment preference, meaning they move to the top of the waitlist. This means that occasionally parents will see their children move down the list instead of up.
What happens if my child's name is chosen during the lottery?
You will be contacted by email if your child is offered a seat or placed on the waitlist. Once your student receives an offer, you will need to login via the School Mint Dashboard and accept the offer within 5 business days or the offer will be automatically declined. After accepting the offer, you will have 10 business days to complete the online registration in the SchoolMint Dashboard and provide all the required documents. Please see the Enrolling with our Online Registration section above for the specific documents required.
Is there a tuition fee to attend?
No, we are a public school and there is no cost to attend.
Does my child need to wear a uniform?
We have a dress code at school. Students must follow the dress code every day. More information regarding our dress code can be found on our website under the Parents tab.
Does your school provide transportation?
No, we are a carpool school. Parents provide transportation to and from school for their child(ren). However, there are many buses and vans that pick up and drop off students. Please contact us for a list of those resources.

6.7.5 Biomass Burning Aerosol
Biomass burning aerosol consists of two major chemical components: black carbon (BC), which primarily absorbs solar radiation, and organic carbon (OC), which primarily scatters solar radiation. Sources of biomass burning aerosol include burning of forests and savanna for colonisation and agriculture, burning of agricultural waste, and substances burned for fuel such as wood, dung and peat. Not all biomass aerosol comes from anthropogenic activities, as naturally occurring vegetation fires regularly occur. The fraction of anthropogenic biomass aerosol remains difficult to deduce. As for sulphate and fossil fuel BC aerosol, three-dimensional GCM estimates (e.g., Penner et al., 1998b) have superseded earlier simple box-model calculations (e.g., Penner et al., 1992) (see Table 6.5). Penner et al. (1998b) and Grant et al. (1999) used a GCM to model the radiative forcing from biomass aerosol, finding a combined total radiative forcing of -0.14 to -0.23 Wm-2 depending upon the mixing assumptions and size distributions used. The radiative forcing is calculated to be negative over the majority of the globe, but some limited areas of positive forcing exist over areas with a high surface reflectance (see Section 6.14.2). The seasonal cycle is strongly influenced by the seasonal cycle of biomass burning emissions (Grant et al., 1999; Iacobellis et al., 1999), the global mean being estimated to be a maximum during June/July/August. Hobbs et al. (1997) performed aircraft measurements of smoke from biomass burning during the Smoke Cloud and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) experiment and used the model of Penner et al. (1992) to estimate a global mean radiative forcing of -0.3 Wm-2 as an approximate upper limit due to modified optical parameters. Ross et al. (1998) performed a similar measurement and modelling study estimating a local annual mean radiative forcing of -2 to -3 Wm-2 in intensive biomass burning regions, indicating that the global mean radiative forcing is likely to be significantly smaller than in Penner et al. (1992). Iacobellis et al. (1999) model the global radiative forcing as -0.7 Wm-2 but use an emission factor for biomass aerosols that Liousse et al. (1996) suggest is a factor of three too high, thus a radiative forcing of -0.25 Wm-2 is more likely. These estimates neglect any long-wave radiative forcing although Christopher et al. (1996) found a discernible signal in AVHRR data from Brazilian forest fires that opposes the short-wave radiative forcing; the magnitude of the long-wave signal will depend upon the size, optical parameters, and altitude of the aerosol.
The radiative effects of the individual BC and OC components from biomass burning have also received attention. Haywood and Ramaswamy (1998) re-scaled the global column burden of BC from Cooke and Wilson (1996) to that of Liousse et al. (1996) which is thought to be more representative of optically active BC and estimated the radiative forcing due to fossil fuel and biomass burning to be approximately +0.4 Wm-2, approximately half of which, or +0.2 Wm-2, is due to biomass sources. Hansen et al. (1998) adjusted the single scattering albedo of background aerosols from unity to 0.92 to 0.95 to account for the absorbing properties of BC from combined fossil fuel and biomass emissions and found a radiative forcing of +0.27 Wm-2.
The radiative forcing due to the purely scattering OC component from combined fossil fuel and biomass emissions is estimated by Hansen et al. (1998) to be -0.41 Wm-2 with a approximate upper limit for the radiative forcing due to fossil fuel OC from this study of approximately -0.16 Wm-2 (see Section 6.7.4). Thus an approximate weakest limit for the radiative forcing due to biomass burning OC is -0.25 Wm-2. Jacobson (2001) used a multi-component aerosol model to investigate the radiative forcing due to OC from combined fossil fuel and biomass aerosols using emissions from Liousse et al. (1996) finding a resultant radiative forcing of between –0.04 and –0.06 Wm-2, the strongest forcing being for purely scattering aerosol. The small radiative forcings of Jacobson (2001) may be due to the aerosol being modelled as tri-modal with less aerosol in the optically active region of the spectrum, or due to the fact that absorption by BC may be enhanced in the modelled multi-component mixture.
On the basis of these studies, the estimate of the radiative forcing due to biomass burning aerosols remains the same at -0.2 Wm-2. The uncertainty associated with the radiative forcing is very difficult to estimate due to the limited number of studies available and is estimated as at least a factor of three, leading to a range of –0.07 to –0.6 Wm-2.

Having reformed the original line-up back in 2008 and subsequently released one of the best records in an already impressive back catalogue, it would be easy for Killing Joke to sit back and rest on their laurels. But then this band have never been about taking the conventional approach. The fact Absolute Dissent received such widespread acclaim from both critics and fans alike has in itself created an even bigger challenge. What could have been a fitting epitaph for the band has instead refuelled their creative fires. Indeed, most recent interviews with frontman Jaz Coleman would suggest he and his band are anything but a spent force, while their enthralling live performances have undoubtedly accounted for some of the most memorable shows we've been fortunate enough to witness since their blistering return at 2009's ATP: Vs The Fans event in Minehead.
For a band shortly entering its thirty-fifth year they could be forgiven for simply reverting to formula. However, the newly revitalised Killing Joke have taken the bull by the horns as it were and delivered a record that is up there with their finest. MMXII, or '2012', is a devastating slab of industrial rock loosely based around the Mayan concept whereby the twenty-first of December 2012 will signify the end of time. Intelligently researched and politically charged throughout, MMXII delivers a ten-part suckerpunch in brutal fashion.
Having initially started work on MMXII at the beginning of last year, the quartet of Coleman, Kevin 'Geordie' Walker, Martin 'Youth' Glover and Paul Ferguson found themselves with a whole lot more songs than they'd originally expected. As with MMXII's predecessor, the band have taken on production duties themselves, again enlisting Clive Goddard on the mixing and engineering side of things. Now whittled down from 26 to ten pieces, MMXII makes its intentions clear from the outset, 'Pole Shift' introducing the record via a cascading symphony of vibrating bass and thunderous synths. "It doesn't really matter too much" insists Coleman as the song veers between introspectively delivered verses to its rapturous, anguish-laden chorus. Musically taut throughout its nine minutes, Geordie's signature guitar scaling omnipresent, it's a blistering opener that sets the pace for what follows.
'FEMA Camp', a five-minute diatribe inspired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency sees the band revert back to the tribal rhythms of yore, acerbically shot through by Coleman's incendiary vocal. 'Rapture', the taster for the record that was made available at the start of this year races along at lightning speed, its cataclysmic arrangement reminiscent of Killing Joke's heaviest hour, 2006's Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell. 'Colony Collapse' continues in a similar vein, Coleman observing "The future doesn't need us" while his band pummel away in the foreground. With the metallic sound more prevalent here than on Absolute Dissent, there's little wonder people like Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor were queuing up to provide plaudits on their forthcoming documentary and celluloid debut The Death and Resurrection Show.
'Corporate Elect' and 'Primobile' both rein in the industrial nuances for a more direct punk/metal crossover. Lyrically astute as ever, the latter is seemingly a self-referential piece about how the band interact with and relate to one another. Lead single 'In Cythera' is perhaps the most direct throwback to their past, sounding not a million miles away from 1986's long forgotten 'Adorations'. "I see you in a dream, on Sundays past when skies are clear" bellows Coleman optimistically. The penultimate 'Trance' also offers a nod to times gone by, its rumbling bassline mirroring that of early release 'Pssyche', while Geordie concocts his most abrasive guitar scripture this side of their comeback.
Perhaps surprisingly choosing to go out with a reflective sigh than an almighty thud, 'On All Hallow's Eve' represents three minutes of Killing Joke at their most emotionally charged, its theme of remembrance to those passed proving quite poignant, a welcome respite of solace after the aural assault preceding it.
The sound of a band still in their creative prime, MMXII is everything Killing Joke have proclaimed themselves to be these past three-and-a-half decades, and 15 albums on is just as incisive and coarse as their debut. What's more, with yet another essential addition to their catalogue, only the fainthearted or foolish would bet against the resurrection of Killing Joke carrying on a good few years yet.

Superb line-up set to light up Kirkstall Abbey as part of Classical Fantasia
Caption: (Top to bottom) - Tenor Noah Stewart, soprano Laura Wright and saxophonist Amy Dickson are all set to perform at Classical Fantasia. Picture credit Amy Dickson - Chris Dunlop.
The Cistercian ruins of a much loved abbey in Leeds are once again set to host an outdoor classical musical event to remember.
Organised by Leeds City Council, tickets are now available for the annual Classical Fantasia concert, which has been refreshed for 2014 to include a fantastic line-up to entertain the crowds in the atmospheric surroundings of Kirkstall Abbey on Saturday 6 September.
Artists set to perform this year include tenor Noah Stewart, soprano Laura Wright and saxophonist Amy Dickson, who will be accompanied by one of the UK's leading chamber orchestras, the Manchester Camerata.
Making his bow at Fantasia is one of opera's most talked about tenors, Noah Stewart. Born in Harlem, New York, Noah has also recently performed international debuts in Spain and Russia. His debut album, the critically acclaimed 'Noah', which mixing classical tracks with contemporary material, reached number one in the UK Classical Chart. Joining Noah is Laura Wright, who with over one million album sales to date is one of the biggest selling classical artists of the decade. Still only 24-years-old, Laura, who is also the official anthem singer for the England rugby team, has toured with stars including tenor Alfie Boe, Russell Watson and opened for Andrea Bocelli. Her new album will be released in the autumn.
Grammy-nominated classical saxophonist Amy Dickson, earned the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Classic Brit Award in 2013, after her album Dusk & Dawn released in the same year, achieved a number one spot in the UK Classical Charts. Amy, who is also an ambassador for the Princes Trust, will be releasing her latest album 'A Summer Place', in August.
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon, Leeds City Council's executive member for digital and creative technologies, culture and skills said:
"The historic grounds of Kirkstall Abbey are truly spectacular, and we are delighted to say that Classical Fantasia will once again be returning this year for what is always a great evening of entertainment.
"A great line-up of fantastic artists, including Noah Stewart, Laura Wright and Amy Dickson has been assembled to entertain the crowd, and as always the event will culminate in a firework finale that really is something not to be missed."
The repertoire will feature well known and much loved pieces of classical music including opera and musicals and, in what is now a customary part of the show, the abbey will once again be illuminated and culminate in a spectacular firework finale. Gates for this year's event on the 6 September which is supported by media partner the Yorkshire Evening Post, are scheduled to open from 6pm, with the main performance set to begin at approximately 8pm.
Tickets are available from Friday 11 July to purchase online at www.leeds.gov.uk/fantasia or in person / by telephone from City Centre Box Office in The Carriageworks on Millennium Square (0113 224 3801) and Leeds Visitor Centre at Leeds Train Station (0113 242 5242). Tickets will also be available to purchase in person only from the Abbey House Museum.
Tickets are priced at £10 for LEEDSCard, £8 for LEEDSCard Extra holders and £5 for Breezecard holders. General admission is £15 and there is also a special discount for groups of friends and family between 5 – 10 people for £10 per person. Advanced car parking tickets will also be available to purchase at £5 per vehicle.
Early bird discount for all general admission tickets are also available at £10 for all purchases made before the end of July.
New for 2014 a special VIP ticket package is also available. Priced at £100, the package includes tickets for four people within a reserved area directly in front of the stage, a set of garden table and chairs, priority queuing and a car park pass.
Enhanced facilities for disabled attendees will also be available this year, including a BSL (British Sign Language) interpreter and a hearing loop audio enhancement system within a designated accessible viewing area, a Changing Places high dependency unit and a new access bus service to and from the event to the car park. Anyone requiring further details or have accessibility queries regarding the event contact the events team on 0113 395 0891 or email email@example.com
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon continued:
"We are also pleased to be able to provide additional facilities and services for the disabled at this year's event, including a designated accessible viewing area with an induction hearing loop and a Changing Places toilet.
"Classical Fantasia is one of the highlights of our outdoor programme of events, and as always we would ask people to book their tickets as soon as possible."

Datamancer, who made the still-impressive Steampunk keyboard, has moved on to art deco. We cannot applaud this enough.
We're big fans of art deco, even though we're not old enough to actually have lived during the actual movement—septuagenarians we are not. But, with BioShock being such a great-selling game recently, we suspect that art deco could be coming back in style. At least, we hope so, or our art deco bedroom furniture set would look pretty dorky. [Datamancer]

Using ettercap and ARP poisoning, I was able to eavesdrop on other connections, but suddenly I was unable to make any connection to the Internet. To restore Internet connectivity, I had to restart my router. (I have tested this on 3 different routers: sagem, linksys and huawei.)
Am I doing something wrong or is there a safety mechanism that kills all network activity?

Bruins forward Milan Lucic was not charged after allegedly having an altercation with his girlfriend the other night in which he was "highly intoxicated and hostile," according to this report in the Boston Herald. In fact, the girlfriend told police she was "adamant about not being harmed." Police also said no injuries were visible on her even though Lucic was seen yelling at her while she was on the ground and she had thrown her shoes and purse at him.
Nonetheless, cops still figured it was worth checking in on Lucic and his lady to see what was up. More from the Herald story:
Police questioned Lucic outside his condo and he told them: "My girlfriend is upstairs. We had an argument. We're fine. Why are you here at my house?"
As the officer continued to question Lucic, he "slammed his cell phone to the ground and yelled 'Do you know who I am?' " the police report states. At which point, the officer asked for identification and Lucic produced an ID from Vancouver, Canada.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing this is not something Lucic plans on blogging about any time soon.
