E-cigarettes: Are we renormalizing public smoking? Reversing five decades of tobacco control and revitalizing nicotine dependency in children and youth in Canada
Posted: Mar 6 2015 | Reaffirmed: Feb 28 2018

An electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is a battery attached to a chamber containing liquid that may (or may not) contain nicotine. The battery heats the liquid and converts it into a vapour, which is inhaled, mimicking tobacco smoking. The e-cigarette does not rely on tobacco as a source of nicotine but, rather, vaporizes a liquid for inhalation. E-liquids are often flavoured and may contain nicotine in various concentrations, although actual amounts are seldom accurately reflected in container labelling. The deleterious effects of nicotine on paediatric health are well established. The use of e-cigarettes in the paediatric age group is on the rise in Canada, as are associated nicotine poisonings. E-devices generate substantial amounts of fine particulate matter, toxins and heavy metals at levels that can exceed those observed for conventional cigarettes. Children and youth are particularly susceptible to these atomized products. Action must be taken before these devices become a more established public health hazard. Policies to denormalize tobacco smoking in society and historic reductions in tobacco consumption may be undermined by this new 'gateway' product to nicotine dependency.
Key Words: Healthy public policy; Heavy metal exposure; Nicotine dependency; Nicotine poisoning; Normalization; Smoking; Vaping
The products
Smoking a conventional cigarette made from tobacco quickly delivers a psychoactive substance throughout the body. It takes only 10 s to 20 s for nicotine to pass from a burning cigarette to the brain.[1] Cigarette tobacco contains additives that maximize the speed of delivery such as ammonia (which increases the pH of smoke, accelerating the delivery of free nicotine) and theobromine (which dilates the airways, facilitating inhalation).[2]
By contrast, an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is a battery attached to a chamber containing a liquid. The energy from the battery heats the liquid and converts it into a vapour, which users draw into their mouth and lungs, mimicking the action of a conventional cigarette.[3] The solution in the heated chamber, known as 'e-liquid' or 'e-juice' by users, contains propylene glycol, sometimes glycerol and other compounds, as well as various flavouring agents (eg, watermelon, cherry cheesecake, lemon/lime, even tobacco). E-liquid solutions may also contain between 0% and 2.4% nicotine.[3] Flavouring of the product does not reflect the nicotine content. The e-cigarettes used today reflect significant technological advances since two products, 'Premier' and 'Eclipse', were introduced in the early 1990s. The mechanisms used in these prototypes heated rather than burned the tobacco they contained, ostensibly to reduce toxin production compared with conventional smoking. However, despite significant investment by industry, neither brand gained wide consumer acceptance.[4] The current e-cigarette has not only evolved from previous industry efforts but is being continually refined to meet various aftermarket demands.[5]
One important modification has been a nondisposable 'tank' system, which makes devices larger and more likely to resemble a cigar, small flashlight or fountain pen.[3] Previous disposable e-cigarettes were patterned after conventional cigarettes. In newer designs, an often transparent reservoir filled with e-liquid (which may or may not contain nicotine) is heated using high-voltage batteries, such that thick plumes of vapour and, if present, significant doses of nicotine are generated. A wide range of product modifications instigated by retailers and users are currently in use (detailed descriptions, including pictures of different e-devices, can be found in Figure 1 of the article by Grana et al [3]).
The problems
Product perception
While newer e-cigarette products may not produce the same type of inhaled or second-hand smoke as conventional cigarettes, they are essentially nicotine delivery devices. They are neither safe nor harmless in themselves.[3] They 'mimic' pharmaceutically produced nicotine replacement therapies, which are highly regulated and graded medicinally. In Canada, nicotine replacement therapies are sold over-the-counter in drug stores. Nicotine-containing gums, patches, mists or inhalers are not, however, promoted for sale to individuals <18 years of age and should only be used in consultation with a medical practitioner.
E-cigarette manufacturers take explicit advantage of other features shared with smoking cessation products such as not staining teeth and fingers (the Nicorette monograph and ads for blu eCigs reference this 'attribute').[6][7] However, unlike pharmaceutical nicotine products, no health benefit can or should be promoted in marketing e-cigarettes. In fact, manufacturers go to great lengths not to tout health benefits (they are forbidden by law to do so in the United States, and e-cigarettes can only be advertised as 'recreational' devices).[8]
As a smoking cessation aid and harm-reduction tool for current adult smokers, e-cigarettes are unproven.[3] They may, in fact, have opposite effects: enticing former smokers back to nicotine dependency, helping to renormalize nicotine dependency in the wider population and representing smoking as a socially acceptable public practice.[9]
Emissions and exposures
The e-liquids used in these devices are not required by law to meet Canadian standards for labelling or nicotine content. Despite indications on the label, solutions may or may not contain nicotine and, when nicotine is present, concentrations vary widely.[10] Also, the dilution of nicotine stated on the label does not necessarily match the actual strength. One recent United States Food and Drug Administration labelling analysis confirmed concerns described in the literature.[11]
Nicotine yields obtained during tests using automated smoking machines suggest that e-cigarettes deliver less nicotine per puff than conventional cigarettes. Clinical studies have also indicated that comparatively modest nicotine concentrations are delivered to the inexperienced e-cigarette user. However, more experienced users are able to intake levels of both nicotine and cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, in concentrations similar to those produced by cigarette smoking.[12] 'Topographical' or consumption behaviour studies found that compared with conventional cigarettes, the average puff duration was significantly longer for e-cigarettes and required stronger suction.[13]
A practice known as 'dripping', in which users trickle drops of a nicotine-containing fluid directly onto the heating element, is associated with tank systems. While generating a more potent vapour, the intense heat alters the chemical composition of e-liquids, creating new compounds. Changes in chemical structure affect the liquid nicotine, filler ingredients and any flavouring(s) that are present. The stronger the battery, the higher the temperature, making chemical reactions more complete.[14]
One significant potential danger of large boluses of nicotine, as generated by tank technology, is their potential for acute cardiac events. A hypercoagulable state may be produced, which can, in turn, promote thrombosis. This phenomenon has been observed with nicotine inhalation from cigarette smoking and is a theoretical but significant risk with e-devices.[15] Also, the high nicotine concentrations generated by tank apparatuses increase second-hand exposure risks for nonusers, particularly children.[16]
Exposure to fine particulates in the aerosol generated by e-smoking may impair respiratory function in users and bystanders. E-cigarettes produce copious amounts of fine particles, at times in excess of conventional cigarette levels.[3] Young people could be particularly vulnerable to particulate affects, which may cause or worsen pre-existing breathing problems such as asthma and bronchitis.[17] Moreover, the deleterious impacts of nicotine on the developing brain are well documented, and the potential for entrenched dependency is already an empirical concern.[10][18][19]
Aside from nicotine, e-cigarette aerosols may also contain propylene glycol and glycerol/glycerin as filler materials, flavourings and other chemical compounds. Aerosolized propylene glycol and glycerol are known to produce mouth and throat irritation, and dry cough; chronic exposure in any form is discouraged by the chemical industry.[3][16]
Structurally, e-cigarettes may include various metals, rubber and ceramics, constituents that can also become aerosolized during operation and cause adverse health effects.[3][5] Heavy metal levels in e-cigarettes have been documented, sometimes at levels exceeding those associated with conventional cigarettes.[3] Batteries have exploded on occasion, and exposures to the e-liquid by breathing, contact with skin or from oral ingestion carry significant health risks, especially for children.[5] Nicotine poisonings from e-liquids and discarded cartridges among children are increasing,[20] with observed toxic effects to rival those of conventional cigarettes.
Tank-type devices and the practice of dripping are also responsible for heating the e-liquid with such intensity that levels of formaldehyde and related toxins approach and sometimes exceed concentrations in conventional cigarettes.[14] These chemical transformations affect all constituents of the liquid being heated, including the glycerol/glycerin and propylene glycol.[14][21]
The environmental impacts of improperly discarding used cartridges, which contain residual nicotine, and e-cigarettes, which contain batteries, are comparable with hazards posed by conventional cigarette butts and other batteries not properly disposed of.[21][22]
Public uptake
Industry is well ahead of both researchers and regulators in grasping the potential for this new nicotine delivery system. Both the size and value of the e-cigarette industry are expanding rapidly. Currently estimated to be worth more than $2 billion in the United States alone, e-cigarette sales are forecast to surpass conventional cigarette sales over the next decade.[23] Moreover, the tobacco industry has recently entered the field, with the third-largest tobacco manufacturer in the United States purchasing a leading e-cigarette manufacturer in 2012, while other tobacco companies have launched or are developing their own brands.[3]
Aggressive marketing and weak regulation
Unlike conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes are being openly used and promoted by dozens of celebrities in a variety of media.[24] Both scripted and (apparently) spontaneous endorsements of these devices in broadcast media run counter to long-established public service announcements on the dangers of smoking from former celebrity smokers, such as Yul Brenner and the 'Marlboro men'.[25][26] Instead, celebrities and late night talk show hosts speak about not having bad breath, the rediscovered comforts of smoking indoors in cold weather, and the ability to 're-choose' smoking after years of restriction.[7][27] The exposure of teens and young adults to e-cigarette advertising on specialty TV channels is already widespread in the United States.[9]
E-cigarettes are readily available in a wide range of venues, notably pharmacies, convenience stores and tobacco shops. There has been some regulatory action in the United States.[3] In 2009, Health Canada issued an advisory that e-cigarettes with (emphasis added) nicotine were not authorized for import or sale in Canada, and that their "safety, quality, and efficacy remain unknown".[28] They further stated that e-cigarettes without (emphasis added) nicotine could be imported and sold, but warned not to use these products because they "may pose health risks". Also, prospective manufacturers were notified that, in accordance with the Food and Drugs Act, they had to apply to Health Canada for authorization to bring to market any new nicotine-containing device or product with packaging that made any health claim.[28] To date, Health Canada has not approved an e-cigarette product. However, according to proponents, the Act provides an exemption for nicotine "administered orally by means of an inhalation device delivering 4 mg or less of nicotine per dosage". One 'vape' (or dose), from many varieties of e-cigarette cannot deliver this amount of nicotine, an argument being used by some retailers to challenge demand letters from Health Canada advising them to 'cease and desist' the sale of nicotine-related e-cigarette products.[29] Canadian regulatory authorities are silent on after-market modifications or dripping, both of which can raise the dose of nicotine and other inhaled toxins.
Regulatory ambiguity has, understandably, caused public confusion and led some media to view e-cigarette products as operating in a 'grey zone', just beyond the legal reach of Health Canada's "gentle ban".[30]
Implications for children and youth
Our understanding of the negative effects of nicotine has advanced dramatically in the past half-century, since the dangers of tobacco were first raised in seminal British and American reports on smoking. At that time, even the tobacco industry may not have been fully aware of the pathophysiology of addiction, although they played to its risks. One former industry insider, Jeffrey Wigand, observed: "The tobacco companies target underage kids because they know that if they hook them young, they hook them for life".[31] E-cigarettes may be yet another gateway to nicotine dependency.[32] The likelihood that youth will take this gateway is foreshadowed by snus, a fermented chewing tobacco product used in Scandinavia. Widely promoted as a 'less harmful' alternative to conventional cigarettes and a smoking cessation aid for adults, it is also associated with increased tobacco uptake in younger age groups.[33]
Our current understanding of nicotine's role in the current epidemic of tobacco-related, chronic and completely preventable diseases should be sufficient warning against future generational addiction and damage to fetal health.[34][35] However, experimentation with e-cigarettes by teenagers is on the rise[3][36][37] and researchers have been slow to make the argument that the addictive and harmful aspects of nicotine in e-cigarettes could have the same deleterious effect on health in this century as tobacco smoking did in the previous century.[10]
Key elements are already in place for a new wave of paediatric nicotine addiction:[38] a cheap, easily accessed supply (in-store or online); high-profile promotion by celebrities who are popular among youth; open and sometimes provocative marketing over social media; and industry sponsorship of public events, including using product-related accessories (eg, T-shirts, ball caps and wrist bands) as giveaways to a generation who have never experienced this type of cigarette-related marketing.[3] Add to the mix the absence of a strong tobacco taste, a wide range of flavourings that mask or integrate tasteless nicotine, and technology with a distinctive 'cool' factor. Finally, in Canada at least, this interplay of product features is unfolding in a regulatory vacuum.
Health advocates have achieved truly historic successes in curbing tobacco use and exposure to the harmful by-products of smoking through a variety of effective public policy interventions.[39] E-cigarettes have the potential to undermine this framework.[3][24]
E-cigarettes are marketed as a nicotine delivery device for recreational use by adults, with no scientifically proven therapeutic effect. Expert opinion is divided as to the value of this product for smoking cessation. However, no logical rationale has been offered by either the product's proponents or its regulators for delaying action to curb the sale of a powerful – if repackaged – psychoactive substance whose harms to children and youth are well established.[24]
Now is the time for action. The government should apply an abundance of caution and place the onus squarely on industry to document the level of risk associated with e-cigarette use first, before loosening or lifting precautionary restrictions. The situation at present suggests that these devices may be proven to be a public health hazard before definitive regulatory measures are taken, much as was the case with tobacco smoking.
Fortunately, some communities are pointing the way for regulators. As a first step, >100 communities in the United States[3] – and a handful in Canada – have included e-cigarettes under local clean air/smoke-free bylaws and apply the same limits on e-cigarette use and sales as for conventional cigarettes.
The Canadian Paediatric Society calls on the federal government to curb and control the e-cigarette industry by enacting the following legislation:
1. Expand regulations governing the bilingual marketing, packaging and labelling of conventional tobacco products to include all e-cigarette devices and e-liquids. New regulations must include:
- Maximum dosage of nicotine in e-liquids, to be strictly enforced.
- Package warnings on potential and known harmful effects which are equivalent to messaging on cigarette packaging.
- Complete, accurate labelling for e-liquids, including a full list of ingredients and an exact measure of nicotine concentration.
- Packaging e-liquids in containers that are child-resistant and carry explicit and appropriate cautionary warnings regarding toxicity.
- A ban on e-cigarette-related advertising and sponsorship of events and activities intended for young audiences.
- A ban on marketing e-cigarette-related products using strategies or in venues that attract children and youth in particular, such as 'giveaways' and promotion through social media.
2. Strictly prohibit manufacturers or sellers of e-devices or e-liquids from making any positive health claims until industry evidence on product safety and efficacy has been reviewed, evaluated and accepted under Health Canada's Food and Drug Act.
3. Restrict Internet sales of e-cigarettes and related products to direct mail only to individuals, and only to individuals identifiable as adults. Such limits would curb development of a 'black' or 'grey' market and facilitate taxation.
4. Make it illegal for anyone under the current federally established legal age to purchase conventional tobacco products to buy, possess or use any form of e-cigarette or other 'vaping' device.
Federal and provincial/territorial governments should tax all e-liquids containing nicotine at levels approaching current levies on other legal, recreational psychoactive substances such as cigarettes and alcohol.
Provincial/territorial or (as appropriate) municipal governments should enact legislation:
1. Making it illegal for anyone under the current provincially established legal age to purchase conventional tobacco products to buy, possess or use any form of e-cigarette or other 'vaping' device.
2. Requiring e-devices and e-liquids to be sold only in venues where tobacco is sold legally.
- Vending machine sales of e-cigarettes should be banned.
- Retail outlets selling these products to the public would need a license, as they do for conventional cigarettes.
- Establishments licensed to carry e-devices and e-liquids would not be allowed to create so-called 'power wall' displays for these products: the same restrictions governing behind-the-counter sales of conventional cigarettes would apply to all e-cigarette-related products.
3. Expanding all current restrictions on smoking in public spaces or workplaces to apply equally to any form of e-cigarette device.
Provincial/territorial governments must also foster local programs that address the litter generated by e-device use through levies on the purchase price. Such programs should be developed, implemented and maintained like other environmental stewardship programs.
Paediatricians, family physicians and other health care providers must stay informed about research on the risks and effects of e-cigarette smoking. They are encouraged to:
- Educate young patients and their families on the risks and hazards of e-cigarette use and exposure.
- Make counselling on e-devices a segue into broader discussion of tobacco use and smoking cessation.
School boards and provincial/territorial ministries of education must adhere to (or strengthen, as appropriate) all existing restrictions on smoking in places of learning to include any form of e-cigarette device.
- A teaching component on the dangers of exposure to and use of e-cigarettes should be included in an age-appropriate health curriculum.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Attention, history buffs: The home of a Declaration of Independence signer, which has stayed in his family for generations, still hasn't sold two years after his great-great-great-great granddaughter put it up for sale.
Josiah Bartlett, of Kingston, New Hampshire, was a doctor who signed the document after John Hancock. He later became governor.
Ruth Albert, who wants to downsize and hopes that the 242-year-old house can stay in her family, says she got excited last year when she was approached by a fellow Bartlett descendant. But it didn't work out.
The 4,600-square-foot farmhouse, plus water frontage, open pasture and woods, is selling for $849,900.
The name might ring familiar to fans of the TV series "The West Wing." Martin Sheen played President Josiah Bartlet from New Hampshire, a fictional descendant.

Naperville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/15/2015 -- Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of HNWI Asset Allocation in Singapore 2014 market report to its offering
This report is the result of WealthInsights extensive research covering the high net worth individual (HNWI) population and wealth management market in Singapore.
The report focuses on HNWI performance between the end of 2008 (the peak before the global financial crisis) and the end of 2013. This enables us to determine how well the country's HNWIs have performed through the crisis.
Independent market sizing of Singapore HNWIs across five wealth bands
HNWI volume and wealth trends from 2009 to 2013
HNWI volume and wealth forecasts to 2018
HNWI and UHNWI asset allocations across 13 asset classes
Insights into the drivers of HNWI wealth
Reasons to Buy
The HNWI Asset Allocation in Singapore 2014 is an unparalleled resource and the leading resource of its kind. Compiled and curated by a team of expert research specialists, the database comprises dossiers on over 60,000 HNWIs from around the world.
With the wealth report as the foundation for our research and analysis, we are able obtain an unsurpassed level of granularity, insight and authority on the HNWI and wealth management universe in each of the countries and regions we cover.
Report includes comprehensive forecasts to 2018.
Key Highlights
Real estate was the largest asset class for Singaporean HNWIs in 2013, with 32.4% of total HNWI assets, followed by business interests with 24.8%, equities with 17.1%, cash and deposits with 10.4%, fixed-income with 10.1% and alternatives with 5.5%.
Business interests, equities and real estate recorded the strongest growth during the review period, at 62.8%, 61.2% and 57.6% respectively.
Alternative assets held increased from 5.4% of the total HNWI assets in 2009 to 5.5% in 2013.
WealthInsight expects allocations in commodities to decline over the forecast period to reach 1.4% of the total HNWI assets by 2018 as global liquidity tightens due to a forecast near-term drop in the Chinese demand for raw materials. This will cause global commodity prices to level out.
Singaporean HNWI liquid assets amounted to US$279.6 billion in 2013, representing 37.3% of wealth holdings.

It was a sweaty afternoon of close may, I was returning from my college completing my examination. It was really very hot noon, perhaps hottest till then. Backside of my shirt almost splashed and flushed from my own salt-water run off across my skin. I forgot to put a cap in my college bag, so all the game was now on side of Sun. I was walking towards my room finding every little shed to hide from flames radiated by sun. I think perhaps sun was targeting me.
No one was around. Even not a dog! Every windows of every house were closed, and so all doors. I could hear rustling leafs striking by heat waves and humming outer unit of air conditioners. Cars were parked along road sides, even if they were parked right on road, it did not matter. "Am I single person in this town?" I thought.
I felt like I was walking nearby a furnace or something. May be Angelina Jolie, Scarlete Johnson and Jennifer Lawrence are hot, but they are nothing against of this afternoon. I could see mirage heaving over road, Like reflection of life. "Ohh, Please god, Get me home as fast as you can, and I will visit the temple nearby my home, I swear."-I prayed. Perhaps all those thought peeping out from my mind were because of heating, like our smartphone.
After little while, I could see my society, and I sigh, "Just few steps ahead."-I compensate myself. There were many cars parked under trees, I looked at New BMW. "wow, she too is hot!" and all specification of this new model start running through my mind. It had a new pattern of their wheels. Car was really shining in light. Suddenly a dog came behind the car, picked his one leg up, settled in position and pissed off. Ha ha ha. "They does not care about brands like us."- Thought I, and entered in my home.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — The most interesting royal news this week wasn't what was said, but what wasn't.
Buckingham Palace announced that the queen's husband, Prince Philip, would retire from public duties later this year. The palace denied there were any health issues, but we can draw logical inferences. The prince is 95. Queen Elizabeth II is 91. No one lasts forever. The day when Prince Charles ascends to the throne as King Charles III, while not imminent, is no longer off in the distant "future abstract" tense.
And yet what is so notable is how uncontroversial this is.
No institution has proven to be more brilliantly adaptable or resourceful. And none has better mastered the dark arts of spin — while appearing not to do so at all.
Had this occurred 20 years ago, there would have been serious and pointed debate about whether Charles should become king, or even whether the monarchy should continue. At its low points in the 1990s, and especially after Princess Diana's death (20 years ago this summer), this ancient institution's days seemed numbered.
Not anymore. Charles will become king. Camilla, his once reviled former mistress, will be at his side. And the show will go on — yet again.
To understand just how remarkable this is, you have to remember just how ridiculous this is. The role of head of state of the world's fifth-richest country will once again be chosen, not by the people, or even by 300 hacks in an undemocratic "electoral college," but by birth.
And a family of frumpy Germanic mediocrity — the original family name is not "Windsor" but "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha" — will yet again talk their way into a panoply of palaces, diamonds, footmen, carriages, priceless art, untold luxuries, billions of dollars, constitutional privilege, and invitations to any party or event they care to attend.
And they aren't even called Drumpf.
Last year the British royals, despite their private wealth, received $52 million tax-free from Britain's taxpayers.
At current interest rates, to get that sort of after-tax income from Her Majesty's Treasury, anyone else would need to own about $10 billion worth of U.K. Treasury bonds, known as "gilts." (And this doesn't count, for example, the imputed income of living in their various palaces.)
Read: Queen Elizabeth II to become Britain's reigning champion
This is, in short, quite a racket. Insiders even call it "the Firm."
Viewed as a business, the British monarchy is one of the oldest and most spectacularly successful in human history. This racket has been going more or less continuously for 1,190 years, since AD 827.
Only the popes have been in business longer.
If you don't understand how astonishing that is, just let me know how Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.62% will be doing in 3166 AD.
And before we laugh too much at the Brits, remember that few people are as obsessed with the British monarchy as our fellow Americans.
How have they done it? And how have they done it, yet again?
A study of the brilliant organizational strategy of the Firm over the centuries could fill a hundred Harvard case studies. No institution has proven to be more brilliantly adaptable or resourceful. And none has better mastered the dark arts of spin — while appearing not to do so at all.
Some people will point to the public-relations coups of their big spectacles, such as the marriage of William and Kate, and the queen's jubilees.
Others will cite their reliance on the famous royal credo: "never complain, and never explain." Both, as anyone knows, show weakness, and get you nothing but disrespect — as Herr Drumpf keeps learning.
Still others will cite their timely production of some cute royal babies to keep the public happy.
My late friend James Bullock, a distinguished British lawyer, had a brilliant alternative theory before his untimely death.
The royals, he said, get away with all their wealth and privilege so long as they avoid flaunting it.
Yes, they ride in carriages on big occasions. But the rest of the time they take care to act low-key.
They marry plain people. They wear frumpy clothes. They have boring hobbies like gardening and walking the corgies. They never look too happy in public. And they vacation in cold, damp places like Scotland and Wales — when even blue-collar Brits jet off to the Mediterranean.
Bullock argued that the royals got in trouble back in the 1980s and 1990s because too many of them started living glamorous lives. That's when the public started resenting that they got the palaces and privileges as well.
He's not wrong. And it's notable how boring, frumpy Charles has doggedly worked his way back into public favor with plain, unglamorous Camilla by his side — while resentment of pushy, lazy and glamorous Kate Middleton, aka "the Duchess of Do Little," is on the rise.
William, be warned.

Salon duc Tape – Capitalism and Prospects for Deep Carbon Emissions Reductions – March 23rd
Can the carbon emissions reductions needed to preserve a livable climate be achieved under capitalism?
In order to avoid climate catastrophe, humanity must begin reducing its greenhouse gas emissions rapidly over the coming decades, and must achieve zero net carbon emissions by the middle of this century. However, the capitalist system requires sustained and relatively rapid economic growth to remain viable, and the exploitation of fossil fuels is central to many politically powerful corporations and economic sectors. Is the world's dominant economic system on a collision course with our ability to preserve a livable climate?
Ramaa Vasudevan, Anders Fremstad, and Kevin Cross will address this and related questions at the salon on March 23rd. Vasudevan and Fremstad are professors of economics at Colorado State University. Cross is active with both the Fort Collins Sustainability Group and the Colorado Coalition for a Livable Climate. We will consider the barriers posed by capitalism to addressing environmental problems generally, the potential role of a carbon tax and other "market tools" in addressing climate change, and the prospects for driving deep carbon emissions reductions at the level of local and state governments, where political barriers are lower than those at the federal level.
Salon duc Tape, a public forum sponsored by Strength Through Peace, meets on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month from 7:00 -- 9:00 p.m. at the FoCo Café, which is located at 225 Maple Street. This salon will be co-sponsored by the Fort Collins Sustainability Group. Light refreshments will be available for a donation. The formal program will begin at 7:10. For more information, email Strength Through Peace at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call us at 419-8944.

For the Holidays You Can't Beat Home Sweet Home!
January 11, 2013
Category: Student Blogs
Well I'm sure the title of this blog post gives it away, but I'll say it anyway ... man, am I happy to be home for the holidays! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Catawba and have come to find that I miss school... I know right, you miss school? ...but after working so hard this semester and especially those exams, I feel that I and the rest of you lovely folks have been counting down the minutes and seconds until the beautiful, month-long holiday break! Sleeping in until the late hours of the afternoon, relaxing in the living room watching your favorite movies, hanging out with friends you feel like you haven't seen in what feels like FOREVER, what could be more amazing than that for a break?
"Well Leanna, how has your break been?" Oh my goodness, you are so sweet to ask and it has been amazing! Not only have I been able to hang out with my family who I have missed very much, but I had the opportunity to see one of my all-time favorite plays, Death of a Salesman. My mother decided to be totally awesome and buy us tickets and of course I was THRILLED! Now did you really think I wasn't going to talk about something to do with theatre? No you didn't think that, we know each other pretty well by now. Where was I? Oh yeah, theatre stuff! This play was absolutely incredible and it left me leaving the theater wanting to experience it all over again. I was so happy to also have friends involved in this production; they all did an amazing job! I feel like the word 'amazing' doesn't do the show justice but that's the only word I can think of to sum it up.
Seeing shows that leave that large of an impression on audience members makes this line of work worth it. This play is definitely on my "I must be in this show one day!" list and I can only hope that I can bring the audience to understand what this show really means. In my opinion, that's what every actor strives for. That's when they know they did their job. When on stage giving a monologue and you feel the silence in the room and you can feel you have the audience's full attention that you could hear a pin drop, that's when you know you have done your job as an actor. There were so many moments in this show that the audience was holding their breath in anticipation of what was to happen next. I had seen this play before and I felt the anticipation. I could go on and on about this play and the world of theatre, but I think you have heard enough.
Being a theatre student I feel it is important to get out there and see as many shows and movies and whatever else I can see to enhance my craft and take notice of how professional actors and actresses get the job done. I'm so excited to see what my spring semester has in store for me when I get back and don't worry I'll keep you posted!

The Real-Life Diet of a Rihanna Back-Up Dancer
Professional athletes don't get to the top by accident. It takes superhuman levels of time, dedication, and focus—and that includes paying attention to what they put in their bellies. In this series, GQ takes a look at what athletes in different sports eat on a daily basis to perform at their best. Here's a look at the daily diet of Asiel Hardison, professional back-up dancer and Korean BBQ enthusiast.
Asiel Hardison loves the sauce. Not the illicit kind, either; his cravings include pestos, dressings, and most of all Gochujang—a highly addictive Korean chili paste that typically goes into bibimbap. "That stuff is like crack to me," says Hardison. "My friends know I love the sauce, too."
When Hardison talks about his friends, you should know he's on a nickname basis with both "Ri" and "LG." That's because he's professionally danced back-up for and all up on both Rihanna and Lady Gaga. (That's him piggybacking Gaga at 2:13 of "John Wayne".)
After the numerous world tours, music videos, television performances, film roles, and this year's halftime show—Hardison definitely eats with cooler company than you probably do. But there's more to a professional dancer's career than grubbing on fried chicken with Rihanna. Days are long—10-hour rehearsals, two-hour athletic stage routines, after-parties. "Ima be honest: I eat good because I also eat so bad, I have to," says Hardison. "I do so much activity during the day; I guess I get away with it? My metabolism's like Buzz Lightyear."
GQ: Do your eating habits vary on tour compared to when you're at home?
I'm best during rehearsals in L.A. I bring healthy stuff with me, because when it gets closer to tour time or production, we're sometimes there until 2 A.M. Then, nothing "good" is open. During Super Bowl rehearsals for a month and a half, I didn't drink at all. I didn't want to wake having to dance at 10 A.M. with a slight hangover. The older I get, I'm more careful. I'm 34 years old. To be dancing for 10 hours straight full-out, I can't do the McDonald's or Popeyes anymore. Dieting on tour is tricky because you're always on the go and never in a consistent city. Finding the nutrients you're used to getting easily when you live in L.A. becomes a challenge.
How do you do it?
I take spirulina, probiotics, B12 for energy right before a show, and good ol' trusty OJ for vitamin C. It helps me not get sick when you're in such proximity with everyone on the road. I make sure I have vitamins with me when I can't get them in food form often.
What do you eat before performing?
Tortilla chips, salsa, hummus, veggies. Sometimes I'll eat candy they have around for a sugar rush. There's always Sour Patch Kids. I won't eat anything between 6:45 and 8:00 showtime, except maybe a green juice, because anything heavy in my body weighs me down. Afterward, there's usually pizza or I'll make a turkey sandwich on the bus. I ask for Provolone cheese on our rider because a friend told me it digests better. I haven't done the research, but his body looks great, so…
Any food stories from your time with LG or Ri?
Gaga introduced me to Korean BBQ when we were actually in Korea. I'm a fanatic.
They eat in front of us. [laughs] They're still people. They have parties. They cater stuff. I loved being on the road with Ri because it felt like a party from home—the chicken fingers and French fries are there. With LG, it's more sushi or baked chicken. Not to say that Rihanna eats horrible. She's just a little more "other side." They both like the best of both worlds.
Chicken fingers and French fries with Rihanna doesn't sound bad.
That's the late-night Ri. She'd have a great show and want to hang out with the band and the dancers like, "Let's have a little comfort food. We deserve it." One time with LG, we had a Fourth of July party—in Australia. When we're out on the road through holidays, they bring it to us. I've had so many Thanksgivings with LG. It's cool to make sure I get my mac 'n' cheese—whether I'm in Croatia or Chicago.
You're from Chicago, right?
I was in Chicago the last four days like, "I'm about to interview with GQ about my diet, and I'm over here eating mom's cooking and Chicago pizza."
What's your favorite deep-dish slice?
Pepperoni and jalapeño.
You should add bacon!
Oh, word.
Açai bowl with bee pollen, bananas, a little bit of honey, and some cut-up apples
"The açai is an anti-inflammatory for when my muscles become fatigued and swell."
Coconut or Alcine water for potassium
Apples or mini oranges
Green juices "with some lemon for taste. I stay away from beets. I don't know why, but they scare me."
Organic fruit leather "because I don't get gassy or bloaty when I eat organic."
Chicken quinoa bowl with shredded carrots and lime-cilantro dressing "I try to stop myself from saturating it."
Chicken carbonara with kale and onions. Add shrimp. Add pesto. "Trust me. It's delicious."

Finishing your drink with the right garnish can make or break your cocktail. (And no one wants a broken cocktail! I mean, I'd still drink it, but I wouldn't enjoy it as much.) As a bartender, I've met plenty of finicky people whose order is so detailed, especially specifying the garnish. They not only are the visual finishing touch to a cocktail, but the taste of the garnish effects the drink. So if you're stocking your bar, you want to make sure you have these accouterments ready to make the best cocktail service for your visitors!Lemon slice
These are probably the most popular, usually added to gin and tonics, but can be requested for various other drinks. You want to cut off both ends. Then slice the lemon in half. Lay each half down and cut in to half-moon slices. Lay each half-moon slice down and cut in to the flesh at the middle, only halfway, so that the slice will stay in place on the glass's rim.
Lemon twists
This is primarily the rind used for its essential oil. To make lemon twists, cut off both ends of the lemon. Insert a sharp knife or spoon between the rind and meat of the lemon and carefully separate them. Cut the rind into strips. The outside of the lemon is where the flavor lies. When adding a lemon twist to a drink, slowly rim the edge of the glass with the outside of the lemon twist and then drop the twist into the cocktail.
Lemon and lime wedges
Some people like these in their water or other non-alcoholic drinks. They also may need them at the bar for food items. Many people prefer wedges to slices because they like their drinks extra lemony/limey. At any rate, it's good to have them as an option. Slice the lemon/lime in half the long way. Lay the cut halves down and then slice them in half again. Cut wedges from the lemon or lime quarters.
Lime slices
Cut your slices from a Persian lime, the most common type, not a key lime which is smaller and yellower. They are similar, but have two different flavors. Cut the limes as you need them, not before hand, to keep them fresh. The lime slices are cut the same as lemon slices.
Use stemmed maraschino cherries, because they're easier to get out of the glass; some bar patrons may also enjoy tying the stems in knots inside their mouths. Do not get cherries soaked in rum or other alcohols; make sure your cherries are alcohol-free, as even small bits of alcohol can be extremely dangerous for drinkers with alcohol allergies. You'll need a lot of cherries.
Orange slices
Orange slices are another popular garnish. Cut the ends of the orange, then cut the orange in half. Cut each half in half again (lengthwise). Cut the orange quarters into wedges.
Orange flag
This is a cherry speared onto an orange slice. A "sex on the beach" uses this garnish as do many other mixed drinks.
Traditionally, olives should be green, pitted, and without pimento. If Martinis are very popular at your bar, you want to keep a good supply of olives in stock. Nowadays it is common to find olives stuffed with pimentos, as well as different cheeses, such as gorgonzola, blue cheese, and provolone. Jalapeño stuffed olives are also gaining popularity in the South-West region of the United States. I prefer a stuffed queen with pimento. But that's me.
Small cocktail onions, the size of marbles, are used for Gibsons or even martinis. Not many people order Gibsons but it's good to have them around. They sell cocktail onions in jars, but you can also freeze plain onions, giving the savory garnish to your drink the added icy touch.
Mint Leaves
Mint leaves are required to make certain mixed drinks such as a Mojito and a Mint Julep. Mint leaves should be fresh, wrapped in a damp paper towel and refrigerated. You want to go easy on applying mint to drinks, because a little goes a long way -- especially when muddling. When you garnish the top of the glass with mint, don't use muddled stuff -- keep it fresh with a nice sprig. And don't forget to "spank" the mint to release it's aroma! (We all like a good spanking, right?)
Some drinks can use spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, as a garnish. Keep these around in colder months, as is more common for customers to order during that season. These are particularly common in dairy-based drinks, like egg nogs, white Russians, and Alexanders, among others.
Many other kinds of fruit can be garnishes, but are less likely to be used: pineapple wedges, watermelon, apple, etc. These are used for more unique concoctions like tropical drinks and specialty martinis. You probably won't encounter them as much.

There are a lot of different ways to sharpen images in Adobe Photoshop. In this article I'm going to share one of my favorite methods which uses the High Pass filter. Photoshop offers a number of filters and tools dedicated directly to sharpening images, so it might seem strange to use the High Pass filter, but this method has definite advantages for some images.

Black holes
When a star, with an initial mass greater than 25 solar mass, explodes as a type II supernova and the remnant is a dense core of more
than 3 solar mass, the object is not able to maintain its state of equilibrium, because no force is strong
enough to balance the gravitational force.
In 1974 S. Hawking used quantum mechanics to demonstrate that on times much longer than the
age of the Universe the black holes can "evaporate".
In addition to the black holes born from the evolutionary processes of a single star and having at most some tens of solar mass, there are BHs of great mass, like those found in the central nuclei of many galaxies (our galaxy included). These objects weigh millions or billions of solar mass (Fig. 5).

After last year's breakout season, Warrior's Forward Draymond Green has picked up right where he left off, and has aided Golden State to a 14-0 start.
When Steve Kerr was hired as the head coach of the Warrior's, he decided to put Andre Igoudala and David Lee on the bench, and start two unproven talents in Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green. Boy, did that pay off. Barnes has shown that he belongs in this league, and will be getting paid this off-season. As for Green, he had tremendous year, as he was a runner-up in both "Defensive Player of the Year", and "Most Improved Player." Even though Kawhi Leonard won DPOY, Green had more first place votes. He's proven to be one of the best big men in the game, despite being undersized. Draymond signed a 5-year 82 million dollar contract this off-season, after helping Golden State win it's first title in 39 years.
The former Michigan State Spartan was drafted early in the second round by the team in blue and yellow. Originally drafted as a Small Forward, Green had a lot of questions coming into the Association, from his size, his athleticism etc. But what made Green stand out, was his heart and his "Never Give Up" attitude he brings on and off the court. This is what makes Draymond my favorite player. He is the prime example of Marcus Stroman's popular trademark, "Height doesn't Measure Heart".
Say what you will, Draymond Green is the heart of the Golden State Warriors.He does the garbage work for the team, so that the skill players such as the Splash Brothers could do their thing. Dray has that competitive edge. He's the type of player to give it all he's got every single possession, 100%. You could see him show that emotion, after an and-one and other big plays that he makes. He reminds of Dennis Rodman, but I think that he's becoming a better player than he was. Green is the complete package. He's a jack-of-all trades, if you will. He can rebound, steal, block, pass, and can also shoot the ball very well.

Aaron Tippin showed a Maryland Theatre audience Saturday night that he brings to country music what Bruce Springsteen brings to rock 'n roll - an anthem for hard working, middle class America.
Both singers, through their songs, appeal to wide blue-collar audiences.
Tippin, in two performances Saturday, illustrated the philosophy with such standbys as "For You I will." The song was a favorite with the women in an audience large enough to fill about three-fourths of the seats in the 1,300-seat theater.
Tippin pushed his common man theme by assembling a child's bicycle on stage while working his way through "Working man's Ph.D.," and "I Got it Honest."
He opened with a political campaign vignette and seemed out of out of character in a white shirt, tie and sport jacket singing "What This Country Needs," from a podium bedecked in red, white and blue bunting.

This bagpipe lesson is for Maggie Cameron. Bill breaks the lesson down into sections with commentary for each section.
The tune is a strathspey and was composed by Pipe Major Donald Cameron
Please take note above under the title of the music of the "General clues---" about the need to remember controlled rhythm on certain dotted notes. I was going to delete that and put in here, but I know that many pipers these days do not bother to read helpful "Pointers", hence leaving at the top of the music. While searching for information on the composer some You Tube appeared. I listened very briefly to a top-class piper playing this tune.
The first part was enough in which the piper plainly neglected the control of the low A's on these very notes. Remember the four beats to the bar in which the controlled value of each beat is important all the way, with the spring/spirit of the dance maintained.
The strikes on High A's must not be too early, but spot on the next beat – almost overdone control.. The famous PM Willie Ross had me on this when on the Army PM Course many years ago.
Certain technique is explained and broken down to help in the recordings with this.

Abstract : The objective of this work was first to compare the cropping of single hyperaccumulator plant species either Alyssum murale, Noccaea tymphaea, Leptoplax emarginata or Bornmuellera tymphaea with co-cropping of all four species on the efficiency of Ni extraction from a Ni-rich ultramafic soil. Also, the effects on soil physicochemical properties and on microbial communities' changes colonizing the rhizosphere were evaluated. Secondly, this study aimed at evaluating the effect of selected rhizobacterial strains, isolated from the rhizosphere of one of the different natural plant associations B. tymphaea – N. tymphaea, on plant biomass production and nickel phytoextraction by these two hyperaccumulator plants. The screening of isolates from this plant association for their PGPR traits revealed one PGPR strain NB24. The genetic characterization showed that it was similar to Variovorax paradoxus. After 6 months of culture, biomass and quantities of nickel in the plants were assessed. The results showed significant improvement of root growth and an increase of Ni uptake when plants were inoculated with this PGPR strain. The combination Noccaea-Bornmuellera inoculated by the PGPR strain Variovorax NB24, seemed to be a good choice for an efficient phytoextraction in situ.

ARCHIVE: Five simple tips for High Performance DB sites
Most of my newer /tech 'blog entries are a result of my posts on various online tech sites. Tonight's tips come from the Digg thread about High Performance Site Coding.
In addition to the language/server tips mentioned above, here's a few more database-oriented tips I think designers of large/busy sites should consider:
In addition to the language/server tips mentioned above, here's a few more database-oriented tips I think designers of large/busy sites should consider:
- Don't use persistent links (mysql_pconnect) on busy sites. EVER.
- Minimize joins: "SELECT users.userid, users.username, comments.comment FROM users INNER JOIN comments ON users.userid=comment.userid" - if you just start storing username (that rarely changes) in the comments tables, you can just "SELECT userid, username, comment FROM comments" and avoid the join altogether. You can't do this everywhere and it's not the optimal-normalized elegant db structure that you learnt about, but guess what? It's fast!
- Try using commands like the SQL EXPLAIN to see where the bottlenecks are.
- Don't put everything in the database: Hardcode things that you know will rarely change - this is a big one because I've seen systems with a truth table containing 'T = true' and 'F = false' stored. Or more commonly 'yesno' table with 'Y = Yes' and 'N = No' - hardcode these already! Also, even if types of status (P=pending, C=completed, X=cancelled etc.) can change, just put them in an array in your globals file. Think how many SQL calls you're making because of these. At least one per page!
- Most importantly, pick a database that fits your needs perfectly. Don't use MySQL 5.x just because everyone's using it now. Don't use Postgres because all the cool kids are doing it. Find out which version of which db best satisfies your need the best. I've seen sites falter under Oracle that worked great under MySQL 4.1. Why? Because the site just needed very fast SELECTs with few INSERTs and almost no UPDATE queries. Older version of MySQL's great for that kinda stuff. Then when you absolutely need triggers and views, upgrade to the bigger dbs. Stick to simpler dbs if you can - they use less resources in general.
