When the Pew Center on Global Climate Change was established in 1998, climate change was largely viewed as a fringe concern. Today, 10 years later, climate change sits atop the list of global issues facing world leaders, and the November election presents new opportunities for climate leadership in Washington. These developments posit a potential turning point for generating the political will necessary for action both globally and domestically.
"For more than a decade, the Pew Center has served as an honest broker in the complex and often controversial debate over climate change," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT). "Their message that we can protect the climate and grow the economy has resonated with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. The years of hard work the Pew Center has put into this issue is a major reason why the tide is turning in Congress, and we will soon pass strong legislation that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and addresses the challenge of climate change."
In the 10 years since the Pew Center's inception, U.S. states and regions have adopted innovative climate strategies, an ever-increasing segment of the business community is calling for reasonable – but mandatory – climate policy for the U.S, and Congress has taken significant steps toward developing such a plan. And internationally, negotiators have established a solid road map toward a comprehensive post-2012 agreement.
"We have seen an enormous amount of progress on this issue in the last decade," said Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, on the occasion of the organization's 10-year anniversary. "But obviously, much more needs to be done – and the Pew Center remains as committed as ever to providing the information and answers that will lead to real, wide-ranging action to protect the climate."
Ten years ago, the Pew Center's Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC) was launched with 13 companies dedicated to climate solutions. While climate change was relevant to the business community 10 years ago, the continued growth of the BELC – now 42 members with over $2 trillion in combined revenue and nearly 4 million employees – reflects the critical importance of climate solutions to today's businesses. Demonstrating a continued commitment to engaging the corporate community, the Pew Center today welcomes two new BELC members – BASF Corporation and Deere & Company.
BASF Corporation is the North American affiliate of BASF SE, the world's largest chemical company.
With more than $90 billion in annual sales globally, BASF is actively engaged in climate protection efforts from the development of innovative technologies and materials to a focus on energy-efficient production.
The German-based business invests more than $600 million annually in its energy efficiency, climate protection, and conservation research. Working in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, plastics, and agriculture products, BASF applies advances in modern chemistry to deliver sustainable products that result in greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Deere & Company is the world's leading provider of advanced products and services for agriculture and forestry and a major provider of advanced products and services for construction, lawn and turf care, landscaping and irrigation.
Deere participates in the EPA's Climate Leaders program and is a member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP). USCAP is a coalition of major corporations and nongovernmental organizations, including the Pew Center, that is calling on Congress to pass climate change legislation at the earliest possible date.
In June, the Illinois-based Deere & Company announced plans to further reduce its total global greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent per dollar of revenue from 2005 to 2014. Deere locations worldwide will implement energy-saving projects to meet the target.
"BASF and John Deere reflect the leadership and innovation required to answer the challenges of climate change," Claussen said. "These two industry leaders join a dedicated group of businesses that, after 10 years, continue to demonstrate a true commitment to implementing effective solutions for their companies, customers, and the climate. I welcome the involvement of BASF and John Deere as we pursue enactment of a sensible, mandatory national climate policy and a new international agreement."
TEN-YEAR HIGHLIGHTS of the PEW CENTER
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change was established as a non-profit, non-partisan and independent organization. The Center's mission is to provide credible information, straight answers, and innovative solutions in the effort to address global climate change. Highlights of the Center's engagement with decision-makers at the federal, state, and international levels include:
Working on an issue that is often polarized and politicized, the Pew Center has provided a forum for objective research and analysis and for the development of pragmatic policies and solutions. Today, the Pew Center is a leading voice for sensible action to address the most pressing global environmental challenge of the 21st century.
"Dealing successfully with climate change is the greatest challenge of my generation," said J. Wayne Leonard, Chairman and CEO of Entergy, a BELC member. "The Pew Center's thoughtful analyses of the science and economics of climate change have helped bridge what was once a sharp divide between business and environmental interests. Their work has helped convince many in the business community that the costs of addressing climate change are far outweighed by the costs of doing nothing. It's a credit to Eileen Claussen and the Pew Center that it's no longer unusual to see business leaders and Boards of Directors step forward and support mandatory national climate policy."
Convening business leaders to shape solutions. In 10 years, the Pew Center's Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC) has become the largest U.S.-based association of companies committed to advancing both policy and business solutions to climate change. The Council started with 13 members and now includes 42 mainly Fortune 500 companies with combined revenue of over $2 trillion and nearly 4 million employees. In addition, the Pew Center serves as a founding and active member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), an influential business-NGO coalition calling on Congress to establish a mandatory national climate policy.
Producing first-rate information and answers. Highlighting the broad mix of approaches required to tackle the climate challenge, the Pew Center has produced nearly 100 reports by noted climate experts covering a range of critical topics, including Economics, Environmental Impacts, Policies, and Solutions. The Pew Center's "Climate Change 101" series presents a detailed and accessible introduction to critical subjects, while a wide collection of Briefs and White Papers inform more specific audiences. The Pew Center also regularly appears before Congress and meets with other key stakeholders to share innovative ideas for addressing climate change.
Advancing international solutions. Internationally, the Pew Center engages closely with leading governments and experts to advance effective options for a new global climate agreement. In the Center's Climate Dialogue at Pocantico, senior policymakers and stakeholders from 15 countries produced an influential consensus report recommending ways to engage all major economies in the post-2012 effort. The Center regularly attends the U.N. climate negotiations and has partnered internationally with the World Economic Forum, the Asia Society, and other leading organizations.
Building public awareness of the problem – and solutions. In addition to keeping policymakers informed, the Pew Center seeks to educate the public through the media about the many complexities of climate change. Pew Center experts have become go-to sources for mainstream newspapers and magazines, and they frequently appear on national TV and radio programs to explain solutions to climate change that already exist, as well as innovations demanding more advanced technologies.
As U.S. leaders move closer to developing a national climate plan and a new global framework for reducing emissions, the Pew Center will continue providing credible, independent information on domestic and international climate policies and solutions.
"The Pew Center has built its reputation over the past 10 years by providing credible information and reasonable answers," Claussen said. "And we are committed to continuing in this role as the United States finally gets serious about addressing the most urgent global environmental challenge of our time."
Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, visit the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions site.

I always thought retiring Patriots left tackle Matt Light had one more great year left in him. I was wrong. He obviously has many more, considering the extraordinary work he's doing for kids.
The ninth annual Matt Light Celebrity Shootout recently attracted clay-shooting shotgunners, including a large number of professional football players, to help youths across the country to find a path to success. That means introducing them to the outdoors. Shooting foursomes raised nearly $600,000 this year for that cause.
Every year, the event at Addieville East Farm in Mapleville, R.I., offers participants the chance to compete against Light and celebrity guests from the NFL. The event has so far raised almost $5 million.
Over the years, Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Tedy Bruschi, Adam Vinatieri, Mike Vrable, Zoltan Mesko, Larry Izzo, Lonnie Paxton, Stephen Gostkowski, Andre Tippett and many other professional players have attended. This year, Logan Mankins, Rob Ninkovich, Nate Solder, Dan Connolly, Sebastian Vollmer, Steve Gregory, Marcus Cannon, Danny Aiken, Ryan Allen, Chris Barker, Joe Vellano and Nate Ebner all shot. In addition, Joe Andruzzi, Matt Chatham, Sammy Morris, Dan Koppen, Troy Brown, Pete Brock, Steve Hutchinson, Larry Eisenhauer and Steve Nelson also appeared. Mankins was top gun among all the celebrities.
The top foursome was Team Remington, with all its members using Remington shotguns. The Remington has been the meat-and-potatoes of the shotgun world for decades: nothing fancy, but affordable and dependable. Countless championships have been won with this not-so-expensive gun.
One of the aces of Team Remington is Grafton policeman Mark Wojnar. "I shoot a Remington 1100 — and so does Logan Mankins. After we both won and found out we had that in common, we hit it off really well. He's a great guy. There were a lot of $30,000 Barettas and Perazzis, but this time they didn't beat the good old Remingtons."
Coincidentally, I shoot a Remington 1100, too — though not nearly as well. It's nicked and banged up from 30 years of bird hunting. The stock is chipped, marking the day it saved me from a fall, and the barrel is dinged. The gun sure has been used — and even a little abused, but it continues unfailingly to take a licking and keep on ticking, missing only when I make a mistake.
Bird hunting every Saturday morning with special friends, I've seen on rare occasion an 1100 or similar gas-operated shotgun fail to shoot. The guns were all semiautomatics, which use gases from a discharged shell to eject a spent shell and position the next one for firing. The system is quick and also reduces recoil by channeling those explosive gases away from the shoulder. These guns are wonderful — but sensitive to a lack of cleaning. If the O-ring, piston, cylinder, and gas ports are dirty and clogged, those guns can fail to cycle. If you experience this problem, don't necessarily blame the gun. Give it a proper cleaning, and you should be back in business.
Rough year
Charlton deer hunter Chad Whitcomb has endured several rough patches this year. Thieves discouragingly stole his tree stands and trail cameras, and on May 14, illness took his little son.
"It's tough to hunt in Mass. when they steal stands, trail cams, and just don't have any respect for other hunters. With all that I had been through, I looked to my faith and to my boy, and by 7:07 on Saturday morning, I got my buck that dressed out at 230 pounds."
Chad is now channeling his energies into helping other families with terminally ill children, through his nonprofit at Talonschristmaswish.org.
Fine Cape fishing
Most of our migrating stripers and blues are now massing off the South Shore of Long Island and northern New Jersey. But there are still a few good fish straggling behind, especially in the Cape Cod Canal, where first-light fishermen are taking bass. Scattered blues are also being reported from Cotuit to Falmouth.
Stellwagen Bank has plenty of mackerel now, as do Hull, Gloucester and Salem. Tautog are abundant, and Scituate is producing cod. But it might be time to concentrate more on fishing inland waters.
Cape Cod trout ponds and the Millers River are packed with stocked fish, and the Pulaski and Oswego rivers are hosting the steelhead run.
With a decent smelt population, Wachusett Reservoir can provide exciting landlocked salmon fishing. Some have entered the Stillwater River for spawning. Heavy rains normally trigger their movement. We apparently got just enough rain, just in time.

Like John's Minnesota Vikings, the Washington Redskins played a game on Sunday that they had to win to make the playoffs. Like the Vikings, the Skins were facing a hated division rival — in our case, the Dallas Cowboys. Unlike the Vikings' situation, Washington's opponent also needed a win in order to keep its season going. Yes, it was the Redskins and the Cowboys playing for all the NFC East marbles with the loser going home.
Like the Vikings, the Redskins got the job done thanks to their running back. In our case, it was unheralded rookie Alfred Morris, a sixth round draft pick out of Florida Atlantic University (the pick came from the Vikings in exchange for Donavan McNab).
While another Skins rookie, Robert Griffin, III deservedly received massive recognition for his amazing season, Morris quietly turned in one of the greatest seasons ever by a rookie running back. He also happens to be among the most humble, least pretentious pro athletes I've ever seen.
On Sunday, with Griffin still a bit hobbled by his knee injury, the hopes of Redskins Nation were riding on Morris. He responded by rushing for 200 yards (one more than Peterson) and three touchdowns. That brought his season total to 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns. The yardage total is a new Redskins record. I believe it also represents the third highest total by any NFL rookie (the great Eric Dickerson holds the rookie record with 1,808).
In front of every outstanding running back is a good offensive line. So I should also recognize the Skins front six: center Will Montgomery; guards Kory Lichtensteiger and Chris Chester; tackles Trent Williams and Tyler Polombus; and tight end Logan Paulsen.
Williams, who was just named to his first Pro Bowl team, was the fourth player picked in the 2010 NFL draft. Chester was a second round pick of the Baltimore Ravens. Washington signed him as a free agent before last season.
By contrast, Paulsen was an undrafted free agent. Polumbus was also undrafted and had been waived by two teams before Washington picked him up. Montgomery, a seventh round pick of the Carolina Panthers, had also been waived twice.
Lichtensteiger, generally considered our second best offensive lineman, was drafted in the fourth round by Denver as a center. However, the Broncos released him after one season. The Vikings then released him after a month. Now he's the starting guard on the top rushing team in the NFL.
And let's not forget fullback Darrel Young who is often Morris' lead blocker. He's an undrafted free agent whom the Redskins converted from linebacker to fullback.
Behind these shrewd personnel moves, and the recognition of Morris' potential, and the courage to trade away four draft picks (three firsts and second) for Griffin, stands Mike Shanahan. Things went poorly for Shanahan in his first two years here. Last year we won only five games, and after nine games this season, our record was 3-6.
Seven consecutive wins later, we have a home playoff game (our first since 1999) against Seattle. The Seahawks defense bears little resemblance to the porous one Morris shredded Sunday night, so we'll probably need a healthier, more productive RG III in that game.
But win or lose, the Redskins' future, like that of the Washington Nationals, looks bright. And like the Nationals, that future is founded on two of the best young players their sport has seen for a while — Bryce Harper and Steven Strasburg for the Nats; Griffin and (incredibly) Morris for the Skins.

ST. CHARLES – Robin Reed doesn't view her event this weekend, Christmas on the Fox Art and Craft Show, as just another place for shoppers.
She said her main reason for organizing the show is to help other crafters by giving them a venue to sell their creations. For example, she said her daughter, a mother who works part time, will have a booth at the show to make extra money.
Reed encourages shoppers to support the crafters, most of whom live in or near northern Illinois.
"There's a part of that person's personality in what they've made," she said.
Produced by Art of the Heartland Inc., of which Reed is the owner and founder, the juried show will feature about 85 crafters selling such items as ceramics, jewelry, figurines, holiday decor, toys, doll clothes, furniture, quilts, candles, topiaries and books. Heinz Brothers Greenhouse and Garden Center will offer seasonal greenery.
The show will be held at the Prairie Events Center at the Kane County Fairgrounds. Organizers plan to create a holiday ambiance by bringing in live Christmas trees and other decor and by playing Christmas music, Reed said.
A catered lunch will be available.
Christmas on the Fox will be St. Charles resident Carla Weeks' second show as a vendor. Weeks, who teaches family and consumer sciences at the Geneva middle schools, will sell candy holiday decorations such as wreaths, garlands and trees.
Her mother, who is in her 80s, gave her the idea, she said.
Her mother made the wreaths when Weeks was a kid and began making them again when her doctor wanted her to work with her hands, Weeks said. She decided to pursue and expand upon the craft after the wreaths generated several comments from strangers when her sister went to the post office to mail them.
"This is my hobby," Weeks said. "I enjoy doing it. It helps me relax."
New this year, Christmas on the Fox will offer two holiday clinics:
• It's A Wrap – Tips on creating memorable packages. The 20-minute workshops are set for 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
• It's a Set Up – Strategies for creating holiday tables. Set for noon Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
• Aurora author Andrea Jones is also scheduled to read from and sign hardcover copies of two books in her Hook & Jill Saga – romantic adult interpretations of J.M. Barrie's classic "Peter and Wendy" – at 2 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday.
Space is limited. Call 815-772-3279 or email email@example.com for reservations.
Christmas on the Fox
When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Kane County Fairgrounds Prairie Events Center, 525 Randall Road
Admission: $3; free for children younger than 15. Ages 60 and older free on Sunday.

NHIAA Hockey: Pappalardo lifts Salem lateBy MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 02. 2013 7:21PM
SALEM - Throughout the season, coach Mark McGinn has described his Salem High School hockey team as a blue-collar squad, making the way Saturday's tilt against Londonderry ended all the more fitting.
Jake Pappalardo muscled his way into a scrum in front of the Lancer net and popped in the game-winner with 51 seconds left to round out a hat trick and give the Blue Devils a 5-4 win in Division I action at the Icenter.
"That summarizes how we play," McGinn said. "The puck was there. I could barely see it so I didn't know of they were going to blow the whistle. You keep going until the whistle blows and he just whacked and whacked."
Pappalardo also scored the equalizer to make it 4-4 early in the third on a nifty move in which he beat a defender and then Lancer goalie Joe McGrath (22 saves).
The win coupled with a loss by Manchester Memorial puts Salem atop the Division I standings with a record of 9-2-1. Londonderry falls to 7-4-1.
The Lancers had a great chance to take the lead late in the third with a shorthanded two-on-none.
Curtis Harper blocked a Salem pass at the blue line and broke up the ice with Mike Donlan next to him. Harper ripped a shot, but Salem goalie Nick Phair deflected it high to keep it 4-4 with 4:40 remaining.
"It was gigantic," McGinn said of the save. "Nick let in four today, which is uncharacteristic of him but when we needed him he stood tall and gave us a chance to win."
Then the Blue Devils got their chance when Cody Soucy fired a shot on net. The rebound landed in the crease and as both teams fought to get to it, it was Pappalardo who managed to get his stick on it for the winner with less than a minute to play.
"We were all digging for it," Pappalardo said. "It popped loose and I just tapped it in."
It was the only lead of the game for Salem, which trailed 3-1 early in the second.
Londonderry struck first with a goal by Eric Coburn at 2:50 of the first and held a 2-1 advantage at the first intermission after Salem's Kyle Svenson and the Lancers' Brett Evangelista exchanged goals.
Londonderry then took a 3-1 lead when Coburn scored a power-play goal, his second of the game, just 19 seconds into the second period.
"I think both teams came out and played very hard," Londonderry coach Peter Bedford said. "It was a well-contested game between the two teams, no doubt."
The two-goal lead didn't last long. Pappalardo scored his first of the game on the power play less than two minutes later to make it 3-2 and Paul Antkowiak tied it up 3-3 with 6:13 left in the second.
Harper scored a power-play goal with 30 seconds left in the period to give the Lancers a 4-3 edge, then Pappalardo rounded out his hat trick in the third.

Slash and his Signature Cry Baby Feature at Superbowl 2011
Slash and his Signature Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Effects Pedal Rock Superbowl XLV
Aside from the actual game itself, viewers look forward to the $100k-a-second commercials and the half-time shows that Superbowl hosts every year. This year the Superbowl brought legendary Guns N Roses guitarist Slash to the stage along with the Black Eyed Peas, of who featured on his latest solo album.
Having always had a wah as part of his recording and live rigs, Slash teamed up with Jim Dunlop to create a signature effects pedal. The SW-95 Slash wah was designed to give the sweep and tone that is signature to Slash's legendary wah-wah tone.

Jim Dunlop Slash Crybaby Wah - 30% off PLUS free shipping!*
Like the man himself, the new Slash Wah from Dunlop is both revolutionary and classic, right down to its hot rod metallic red finish and cutting edge circuit design. Now you can have all the features and screaming tone of Slash's very own custom wah pedal—a tool as essential to the hard rock icon's style as his Les Paul and Marshall amp.

It features the heralded Fasel Inductor for a sweet, singing top end, and is modified to Slash's own specs for more upper midrange bite and sparkle.

Windows Vista is only a little over three years old, but the version without any service packs installed will already move out of support April 13, 2010. This means you will no longer receive security updates from Redmond. The same holds true for Windows XP SP2; you will no longer get security updates for this release after July 13, 2010.
Microsoft advises you to move to Windows 7 (obviously), but also highlights that if you're not yet ready to do so, you should consider installing service pack 1 or 2 for Windows Vista, or service pack 3 for Windows XP. If you haven't done so already,
you deserve a spanking you should get with the program.
While both Windows Vista and XP still receive security updates when you install the latest service packs, this no longer holds true for Windows 2000. Support for all versions of that operating system will end July 13, meaning the time has now really come to move on to greener pastures.
"Customers running an unsupported version of Windows or service pack will not be eligible for any of our support options," Microsoft states in a press release, "Updates, including security updates released with bulletins from the Microsoft Security Response Center, will be reviewed and built for the supported versions and service packs only."
The server side of life will also face a number of support transitions. Like the desktop variant, support for all versions of Windows 2000 Server will end July 13, 2010. Also on July 13, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 will transition from the mainstream support phase to the extended support phase. During the extended support phase, security updates and paid support will remain available. Non-security updates, however, will only be made available to Extended Hotfix Support customers.Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 will remain in extended support until July 14, 2015.

Hi folks,
my current PC is a few years old and very limited in terms of upgradeability (the motherboard doesn't support more than 4GB of RAM in maximum configuration). Therefore I am looking for recommendations for a new PC build. I am currently not very well informed about the hardware that is currently recommended.
My requirements:
- latest generation CPU, Intel preferred
- minimum 16GB of RAM, the motherboard should at least support 32GB
- mid-range graphics card
- SSD with 500GB, 2x 4TB HDD as RAID
- support for Windows 10 and Linux
- Bluray burner
The main use of the PC will be programming in Visual Studio and various other tools. Latest generation gaming is not on my focus right now, but the graphics card should be upgradeable. Maybe using integrated graphics and upgrading to a dedicated graphics card is recommended?
The PC should be used for at least 5 to 6 years without the need of major upgrades.
Thanks for your input!
If the main use is for programming I recommend getting an i5 or an i7 of whatever the latest CPU is, depending on how much money you have. I am very happy with an i5 gaming windows7 PC and an i7 development OS X MacBook Pro. YMMV. Between that and the SSD the compile times will be really low (I use make -j ... I don't know about VS).
I like the idea of the integrated GPU because it is both "less moving parts" and also you'd have a proper PCIx port for future upgrades if you want to spend money on a standalone GPU.
Did you want specific amazon/newegg links? I am not sure how useful these would be in Germany. (I live in the US)

*** (out of four)
When two families discover their 6-year-old boys were switched at birth, there's no easy solution. Trade sons? Have one family raise both? Pretend they never received this shocking news? The presentation of class and priorities sticks to the obvious, and the film doesn't have any standout performances from its adult leads. Yet examinations of nature vs. nurture don't get much more quietly thrilling. Director Kore-eda Hirokazu ("Nobody Knows," "I Wish"), long skilled at stories of families and working with child actors, delivers a fascinating discussion of human connection and what we need our children to be. The exquisite "Like Father Like Son" does nothing loudly or quickly, but you could marvel at it all day, unanswerable questions hovering like kites that have escaped their strings.

6) Quote of the Night: Margaret
Carlson on a "sneering and loud" Dick Cheney
page story. Lieberman "Tapped Into a Spirit in the Hall"; Unlike
Cheney, Speech Not Described as Delivering "Red Meat"
Political analyst
Michael Barone reported on FNC Wednesday night that "by my
count" Joe Lieberman's VP acceptance speech featured "35
positive lines about issues describing the Gore-Lieberman position"
and "30 lines of negative attacks on the Republicans, some of them
administered with kind of a fairly light deft hand." But unlike how
the networks described Dick Cheney's speech two weeks ago, none used the
term "red meat."
"Tonight the red meat, and the crowd here loved it," related
George Stephanopoulos on August 2. Ted Koppel noted "how they wanted
a little bit of red meat on the convention floor tonight and Dick Cheney
gave it to them." Last night Stephanopoulos raved: "Once a
generation, conventions create a political star
-- Mario Cuomo in
1984 with his shining city on a hill speech. I think Joe Lieberman might
have done that tonight. As one delegate said to me, he really tapped into
a spirit in the hall, by tapping into that rich immigrant
-- CNN: On
Cheney, Jeff Greenfield observed that "he leveled some very sharp
words at Al Gore, words of steel wrapped in a tone of velvet. A
soft-spoken dose of very red meat." Assessing Lieberman, Greenfield
decided: "It was a speech, Judy and Bernie, pitched perfectly to
television. Low key in tone. Somewhat sharp in the attacks on the enemies.
He concluded with a phrase made famous by a Jewish-American writer Harry
Golden, 'only in America,' watchword of American immigrants."
-- NBC/MSNBC: Tim
Russert argued on August 2: "You could feel this audience, they've
been pent up for three days, with the politics of happiness, niceties.
They wanted to let loose a little bit. And Dick Cheney gave them, if not
red meat, a little steak tartar at least." Brian Williams later
referred to Cheney's "dose of red meat for this crowd tonight."
Following Lieberman, MSNBC avoided the "red meat" phrase and
Russert instead praised both VP candidates: "Sound, sober, steady
leadership in Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman, have been widely praised,
because that's who they are."
Top of page two story. Pro-Abortion Position Okay with Brokaw: MSNBC
Acceded to Democratic Base; Denounced GOP Base
Two weeks ago
MSNBC pressed Republicans about how pleasing their conservative base on
such issues as abortion displayed intolerance which would scare moderates,
but Wednesday night MSNBC questioned whether the ticket had gone far
enough to satisfy the liberal Democratic base.
Wednesday of the
GOP conclave Tom Brokaw grumbled: "Speaking of inclusiveness, in the
platform it tolerates no other point of view except anti-abortion."
But last night
after the address from Karenna Gore, Brokaw did not complain about the
Democratic hardline on abortion: "It certainly was the most emphatic
statement that we've heard from this podium so far, on prime time
television about a woman's right to choose...The Republicans didn't go
near it last time around. They've been great defenders of course, of anti-
abortion. They are determined to overturn Roe v. Wade. The delegation, or
the official party line has been, even though the delegates in
Philadelphia, when you poll them, more than half of them said, 'No, we
think we probably ought to keep choice.' So these people think that they
have, that they can make that an issue."
Lieberman's son, Matt, Brokaw worried: "There are some people in this
hall, as you know, who have not viewed him with suspicion so much but with
some skepticism about his views on say, affirmative action or Hollywood
values for that matter, or school vouchers."
Andrea Mitchell
asked Senator John Kerry: "How do you feel about Lieberman? He is
certainly less liberal than you, and there's been some criticism of some
of his positions. Affirmative action, he's had to talk to the Black
Caucus. Do you think he can embrace all of the party?"
In the only
exception to the liberal mantra, Jim Miklaszewski asked Senator Paul
Wellstone if "there is a danger" that if Democrats play
"too far to the left...that they're not really going to attract"
on bottom half of page two. Screenwriter Avoids Responsibility:
"Hollywood Has Caused Violence....Unleashed Charlton Heston"
night on MSNBC Tom Brokaw tried to engage screenwriter Joe Eszterhas
(Showgirls and Basic Instinct) in a discussion about Hollywood's
responsibilities: "You're a new parent....Do you think, possibly,
some of your attitudes will change now that you're a parent and you watch
Luke grow up?"
Eszterhas shot
back: "I think in some ways the entire discussion is a red herring.
Yes, Hollywood has caused violence. We have unleashed Charlton Heston on
the world and he is the President of the NRA. In that sense we've caused a
lot of violence. No one discusses it. You know we have two liberal
Democrats, allegedly, who are making this the issue. What about tough gun
control? When we take our movies abroad, there is no violence. Why? Is
there something dark in the American soul? Baloney! The guns are
controlled abroad, and they are not controlled here. The same movie in
different countries and there's no violence there."
three article. Bush & Lieberman Pushed Left by ABC: Lieberman's Shifts
Left Painted as Positive Move to Reassure Base
ABC's World
News Tonight on the Wednesday night of the GOP convention: George Bush is
too conservative. ABC's World News Tonight on the Wednesday night of the
Democratic convention: Joe Lieberman needs to assure Democrats he's not
Back on August 2,
ABC dedicated an entire story to supposed proof of how George W. Bush's
"much talked about compassion clashes with his record." The
evidence listed by reporter Dean Reynolds defined compassion as supporting
specific liberal policy prescriptions.
In a preview of
the same points Democratic VP nominee Lieberman would make in his
convention speech 14 days later, Reynolds scolded: "He is the
candidate who talks of making health insurance available to all who want
it, but has fought to limit federal insurance for children. Bush is the
candidate who has proposed a huge tax cut as a way to help the working
class, but more than sixty percent of the relief would go to the richest
ten percent of Americans. And while he speaks of the need to protect the
environment, Bush supports mostly voluntary efforts to do it."
Joe Lieberman is
now backpedaling from his doubts about affirmative action and willingness
to consider school vouchers in narrow circumstances. But instead of
looking at how the new positions disprove Lieberman is any centrist or
highlighting how the hardline left's demands may turn off moderate voters,
last night ABC's Linda Douglass offered an upbeat assessment of how he's
"been working hard to win over all of the Democrats' most important
interest groups."
Douglass reported
that "he spoke to groups of Hispanics, Asian-Americans, gays and
lesbians, trying to reassure hard-core Democrats that he is not as
conservative as they think he is. Some in the Black Caucus demanded that
he explain past statements in which he has criticized affirmative
She ran a
soundbite from U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, whom she failed to label, and a
clip of Lieberman proclaiming his allegiance to affirmative action, but
she didn't call it a move to the left. She continued: "The Gore
campaign has been calling other key groups trying to appease their doubts
about Lieberman: teachers upset about his votes for school vouchers,
Hollywood worried about his moral crusade against their industry. Some
Democrats say Lieberman must make clear that on issues where he and Gore
disagree, Gore's views will prevail."
She did caution
that "many here say Lieberman should not go too far trying to paper
over his differences with liberals in the party because his greatest asset
is his image as an independent thinker and his appeal to swing
She concluded by
assuring Peter Jennings that the appeasement plan is working: "There
are some signs that liberal doubters are starting to come around as they
learn more about Lieberman. African-Americans, for example, Peter, were
surprised to learn that he marched in Mississippi in the South during the
civil rights movement in the 1960s. Tonight his mission will be to
convince all of them that they can trust him, Peter."
items alongside pages two and three: Jennings Hot for Karenna?; Karenna:
We'll All Be Hot Year-Round; Bush Sucks, "Here, Here!";
Right-Wing Democrats?
Jennings Hot for
During the last minutes of ABC's coverage
Wednesday night, Peter Jennings admired how the party "got its act
together...They were running behind...and they got it all in."
He then listed the
successes, adding special approval for Karenna Gore: "There's the
Lieberman speech, the beginning of the building of Al Gore's biography, an
appearance by his very, very good looking, hard working, popular daughter,
who as we said, has been a very important part of his campaign and whom
the Vice President himself says often is an important advisor."
Karenna: We'll All Be
Hot Year-Round
After her remarks Wednesday night, CNN's
Wolf Blitzer asked Karenna Gore-Schiff what needs to be done to get
"young people to support your father?"
Her reply showed
she's just as much a far-out environmentalist as her father, offering this
dire prediction to which Blitzer did not react: "I think that his
message actually does resonate because young people have the most at stake
really in this election. If Medicare and Social Security run out, it will
be on us. If we wake up to find that abortion is illegal once more it will
be younger women who pay the heaviest price. If we don't protect our
environment, we'll be the ones buying bottled water and air filters and
explaining to our kids what the seasons used to be like."
Bush Sucks, "Here,
Two MSNBC hosts enthusiastically
approved of Ron Reagan Jr.'s rebuke to Reagan admirers upset by his claim
that George Bush is unqualified. Appearing on MSNBC at just past 5pm ET on
Wednesday, Reagan, a former Fox News reporter, charged: "On the basis
of experience Al Gore is qualified to be President and I don't think
George W. Bush is, neither by experience or temperament."
Brian Williams
wondered about Reagan's old pals who see him hobnobbing with Democrats:
"What would you say to those who are genuinely hurt that a family
member of an icon" is now denouncing another Republican? Reagan
replied: "Well, my father brought us up to follow our own hearts and
our own opin-ions and that's what I'm doing. So if anybody really knows my
father, they won't be upset at all. I can understand why some Republicans
might be."
To which Chris
Matthews applauded: "Here, here, good thought." Williams chimed
in: "As they say on TV, good answer." Matthews agreed:
"Well stated."
Right-Wing Democrats?
"This is the most conservative Democratic
ticket in at least fifty years," declared CNN analyst Bill Schneider
Tuesday night just after 7:30pm ET. If Schneider were consistent, in
Philadelphia he'd have described George Bush as the most liberal GOP
nominee in 24 years.
of the Night: "I think he actually made a few good points and threw a
few zingers at the Republicans, but he does it in such a conversational,
gentle way that it's even more effective than Dick Cheney being kind of
sneering and loud." -- Time's Margaret Carlson on Joseph Lieberman's
speech, CNN's Capital Gang

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Even when the Palestinian regime openly identifies itself as an impossible peace partner, it never takes long before the international community finds an excuse to again blame Israel for the lack of a peace agreement.
Earlier this week, the world was taken aback by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' brash unilateral push for statehood at the UN. For a brief moment, the world sided with Israel as it pleaded in vain for Abbas to return to the negotiating table.
But already on Thursday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returned to the familiar rhetoric, suggesting that the construction of a few apartments in Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem is what's really blocking peace.
"We believe that this morning's announcement by the government of Israel approving the construction of housing units in east Jerusalem is counter-productive to our efforts to resume direct negotiations between the parties," Clinton told reporters. "We have long urged both sides to avoid any kind of action which could undermine trust, including, and perhaps most particularly, in Jerusalem, any action that could be viewed as provocative by either side."
EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and British Foreign Secretary William Hague also condemned what they called "provocative settlement activity."
The three diplomats were referring to Israel's approval of the construction of 1,100 new apartments in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo, which is already home to tens of thousands of Jews. The Palestinians claim Gilo as part of their future state, as it lies on the side of Jerusalem that was illegally occupied by Jordan prior to 1967.
It is worth pointing out that while Clinton is quick to jump on Israel for building a few apartments, she has not been consistent in calling out the "kind of action which could undermine trust" when it comes to the Palestinians.
For instance, Palestinian police forces have been operating in eastern Jerusalem in violation of signed agreements for the past couple of years. The Palestinian Authority has also resumed political activity in Jerusalem, again in violation of signed agreements.

The Spartanburg City Council and the Commission of Public Works are elected by and serve the same constituents, the residents of the city of Spartanburg. There should be common ground between the two bodies.
The Spartanburg City Council and the Commission of Public Works are elected by and serve the same constituents, the residents of the city of Spartanburg. There should be common ground between the two bodies.
The commission also serves its water customers who live outside the city, but its members are primarily accountable to the city residents who elect them. Despite this common ground, the two bodies are in complete disagreement over a fee the commission has paid the city in previous years.
The agreement that covered that fee has expired. The city wants the fee maintained or even increased. The commission wants to substantially reduce the fee. Months of negotiations have failed, and last week the city appealed to the public for support in its drive to reinstate the fee.
It should be noted that the city went about this course in the wrong way. A letter signed by all City Council members was emailed to many members of the community, and a video featuring council members was placed on the city's website.
City officials have admitted to discussing this matter in closed sessions, and it's obvious that at some point the council decided to take a course of action, sending out a letter and appealing for public support. But the matter was never discussed in open session, and no vote was taken in open session. This was a violation of the state's Freedom of Information Act.
That fact aside, now that the city has decided to let its constituents know about this issue, it is hoping they will pressure the commission to resume the fee at or close to its former level of $1.4 million.
This is a significant amount. It is enough to make a real difference in the city's budget or in a commission project.
It is a shame that the situation has gotten to this point. City Manager Ed Memmott is correct when he says it doesn't speak well of these two bodies that they've been unable to come to an agreement. They clearly have different goals and priorities, but they serve the same constituents. They owe it to those constituents to take a fresh look at the matter and try to reach consensus.
One thing is clear from this situation. Separating the city's water and sewer utilities from the city itself many decades ago was a disastrous decision. It is the single greatest factor that has kept the city from expanding its limits to serve the metropolitan area. While other cities use their utilities to convince nearby landowners to annex into the city, Spartanburg can't.
The city's unnatural boundaries constrain its finances. The fee under dispute was meant to reimburse the city for that problem, but the damage done to the city by limiting its growth goes beyond the financial. It has affected quality of life and economic development.
It's too late to avoid that damage now. City officials and commission members must deal with Spartanburg's current structure. And they have to make another effort in good faith to resolve this dispute. To help inform our readers about this situation, the Herald-Journal and WSPA will hold a public forum in the Herald-Journal's building downtown at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Members from the Commission of Public Works and the city will present their positions on this fee, and members of the public will be able to ask questions.

Northern Pass $7.5M jobs initiative blasted by foes, lauded by supporters
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
Northern Pass jobs? Another transparent PR push
NH congressional delegation wants Cabinet-level review of Northern Pass
A state senator who opposes Northern Pass said a $7.5 million job creation fund for Coos County is a step in the right direction, while a vocal opponent scoffed at the offer, which Northern Pass announced on Monday.
Northern Pass said it will provide $200,000 in seed money to launch the fund, and then make contributions totalling $7.5 million over 15 years if the project is built. Northern Pass wants to build a $1.4 billion transmission line through northern and central New Hampshire, a line that has drawn continued criticism from many North Country residents.
"This is a business proposal, so we discount entirely the idea that Northern Pass is trying to do something nice," said Jim Dannis, a resident of Dalton and member of Responsible Energy Action, which opposes the line.
"It boggles our minds they're putting up charity money and they're making it conditional on approval of a permit," he said.
Martin Murray, a spokesman for Northern Pass, said businesses often contribute to charity and community development efforts, but only after first generating revenues.
"Northern Pass is no different," he said. "While the professional Northern Pass opponents do not seem to understand this simple concept, the North Country business leaders, political leaders and citizens that we have spoken with do."
Under the proposal announced Monday, Northern Pass will contribute $1 million to the job creation fund once federal and state permits are in hand and construction starts. It will contribute $500,000 a year toward the fund after that.
An advisory group will soon be formed, made up of business leaders and elected officials. The group would decide what job creation efforts would be funded, and at what amounts, according to a statement issued Monday by Northern Pass.
But Murray said the advisory panel could very well establish a different way to distribute the money. He said Northern Pass would not have a veto over advisory committee members or the projects. But he said the company does not want money spent on studies.
"This is a positive step," said state Sen. Jeff Woodburn, D-Dalton, who opposes Northern Pass. "Like the new route, it is a movement in the right direction, but it is far from where we need to be."
He said the job fund gives him encouragement that burial of the line is possible.
Murray said Northern Pass has consulted with North Country leaders for months about the region's needs. The overwhelming response was jobs. He said Northern Pass announced the details of the job fund as soon as details were worked out.
Murray acknowledged that the job creation fund will likely be included in a list of benefits that Northern Pass provides to regulators, such as the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee.
"We don't believe you can in any way buy support through an effort like this," Murray said.
Executive Council Ray Burton, an early opponent of Northern Pass, said the North Country deeply opposes the project. He thinks the job creation fund will have little bearing on people's thoughts about the project.
"I would not serve on any panel that distributes that type of money," he said. But that didn't stop him from suggesting a possible use for the fund: The Balsams Resort Hotel, which is undergoing restoration.
Both U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, and Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, opposed the original Northern Pass route but have left their options open on the alternative route announced last month.

The University of Rochester's Institute for Popular Music will launch a new "In Performance" series on Saturday, Sept. 21, with a concert commemorating the 40th anniversary of one of the best-selling albums worldwide, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon.
"The goal of this new series is to feature live performances of historic popular music by both student groups and professional artists," said John Covach, director of the Institute for Popular Music and chair of the Music Department in the University's College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering.
According to Covach, "We selected Dark Side of the Moon for our first performance in the series, because the album stands as a real monument to the 1970s and is one of the most important albums of the decade."
The IPM's Pink Floyd celebration kicks off on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. in Hubbell Auditorium with a lecture by Shaugn O'Donnell, associate professor at the City College of New York, titled "Pink Floyd's Interstellar Journey to The Dark Side of the Moon."
The celebration then continues on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. in Strong Auditorium with a special concert featuring members of the University's Music Department faculty, students from the University's Rock Repertory Ensemble, and Heroes for Ghosts, the region's top Pink Floyd tribute band.
The events are free and open to University faculty, staff, students, and the general public, space permitting. For more information contact Elaine Stroh at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 585. 275.9397.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state police say an assemblyman stopped for speeding on the state Thruway has been charged with marijuana possession.
Troopers say Stephen Katz was stopped on Tuesday morning for driving 80 mph on the highway with a 65 mph speed limit in Coeymans (KWEE'-mihnz), south of Albany. They say an officer smelled marijuana and found Katz had a small bag of the drug.
Katz was given an appearance ticket for the violation. He's due in Coeymans Town Court on March 28.
The Hudson Valley assemblyman is a Republican and Conservative who lives in Mohegan Lake. He's a veterinarian first elected in 2010. He says he won't let the charge impede his public service.
He says he's confident once the facts are presented "this will quickly be put to rest."
