St. Thomas
Our first stop was St. Thomas. It was so beautiful here! As a family we took a Shopping and Beach tour! Sounds like a perfect day for me :):) I was in a little bit of a downer mood because they still hadn't found my luggage so I needed to buy a bathing suit so I could go to the beach and enjoy our excursions. Our driver dropped all of us off in a quaint little town where they had tons of jewelry, knocks off and most importantly diet coke!! The diet coke in the caribbean is Amazing!!!! (and it was that time of the month so my dc craving was out the roof!!:) We enjoyed shopping and met back up with our driver to get lunch on the ship then off to the beach!!Met back up with our tour and went to Meagan's bay which is one of the top ten beaches in the entire world. Enjoyed the turquoise water and white sand for about 25 minutes before it began pouring rain. We found shelter in the bathrooms and our driver never showed up so we hitched a ride with some other guy.
M&M's might not fix everything but they sure do help....
after the beach we headed back to the ship, ate dinner and continued to try and find my luggage. They informed us that it looked like my luggage was lost but, that they would send around a flier to all of the rooms with a description of my bag in case it was put in the wrong state room. Needless to say I was a wreck. It had my lap top, scuba gear, brand new bathing suits, clothes, make up, jewelry, medicine...pretty much everything I need on a daily basis. Poor Adam, I am upset about my luggage plus extra emotional due to the time of the month so I just balled all night. Adam got so frustrated that a 'reputable' cruise ship lost my luggage. So he went and got me contact solution, deodorant and a bag of m&m's. Gotta love him!

Even we non-conservationists should embrace these seven smart ideas for low-energy design offered by Newsweek magazine. I define conservationists as those who oppose moving civilization forward because they want the earth to look exactly like it did (or, rather, like they think it did) before civilization. I support petro drilling in Alaska's Awar reserve, and all over the California and Florida coasts. However, I also support paying extra for a house that requires no AC in the summer and no heater in the winter... provided that govt officials don't require me to.
According to this article, diesel engines burn 40% less than non-diesel per output, and that if only some reasonable higher fraction of US cars made the switch, the US would consume an amount of petro less per day equal to what those retarded sheiks in Saudi Arabia produce in a day. The article also claims that via smart design houses can remain about 70 degrees in winter and summer without AC or heaters. Not even mentioned: backyard wells for toilet water and lawn watering, home effluent used as fertilizer, and mulching of all fallen leaves and grass cuttings.
I believe that people like me who desire an elevated society typified by such smart designs will make more inroads via civil appeals and free markets than by hysterical railings and forced marches.

BCAB #1428 - Ventilation of commercial cooking equipment, NFPA 96; Article 184.108.40.206.
September 18, 1996
Re: Ventilation of commercial cooking equipment, NFPA 96; Article 184.108.40.206.
Project Description
This appeal concerns the application of Article 126.96.36.199. to food take-out business whose primary product is perogies.
Reason for Appeal
Article 22.214.171.124. requires systems for the ventilation of restaurant and other commercial cooking equipment to be designed, constructed and installed to conform to NFPA 96, "Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease-Laden Vapours from Commercial Cooking Equipment."
Appellant's Position
The appellant contends their business does not use commercial equipment as there cooking appliances are one domestic self-cleaning range and two domestic microwave ovens. The appellant states that 95% of their food preparation involves boiling potatoes and sauerkraut. Meat is roasted in the oven. Also, 95% of their soup is vegetarian and boiled. Their food preparation involves very little frying, no more than the average home in a day.
Building Official's Position
The building official maintains that the kitchen equipment is used for commercial purposes and the fact that the appliances are classed as domestic is not relevant. The official also maintains that the cooking process involves frying, boiling meat and preparing soups, all of which will produce hazardous grease laden vapours. A formal interpretation from the NFPA supports both of the Building official's contentions.
Appeal Board Decision #1428
Based on the information submitted by both parties the Board considers this to be a commercial cooking operation which produces smoke and grease laden vapours. A ventilation system conforming to NFPA 96 is required.
George R. Humphrey, Chair

It's time for your daily cute, everyone! This ridiculousness of awesome comes courtesy of almost 2-year-old (almost!!! how freaking cute!!!) Diogo Mello. Apparently little Diogo is a huge Beatles fan, and his dad set out to prove his passion to the world. Check this out.
Kid rocks the ukelele and wails it out with all of his tiny, adorable, heart. I don't think anyone is surprised that this video is going viral and people are teaching their toddler's classic rock hits as fast as they can. After all, if you have this hanging around your house, your whole life's work has just been completed.
We do hope to see him take on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" asap.

January 19, 2019 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
17th February 2011
The Guardian reports that the tougher regulatory system, which comes into force late next year when the Financial Services Authority is broken into three new bodies, will include the power to ban products or limit their sale for up to 12 months.
Mark Hoban, financial secretary to the Treasury, was reported as saying: "It is a radical reform but the lesson of the financial crisis is that you need to have proper focus and clear mandates and the mandates need to be underpinned by the powers to do the job."
The new system will come into force next year when the FSA will be replace by a a consumer champion and two other regulators that will monitor the banking system and insurers.
On Citywire the power of the current regulator comes under scrutiny.
It reports that the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has said it must seek permission from bankers before disclosing details of their remuneration to the government, apparently the watchdog cannot force them to disclose the information.
Hi Shaun
Thank you for this summary. If the dollar depreciates against the home currency does this increase the stress in funding markets?
Hi Shire
Thanks, I felt that it is a subject that (hopefully until now..) had not been explained properly and worse than that some efforts had been somewhat misleading. I do intend to do others as time permits.
As to your question it depends on various factors. A major one would be if the banks with these risks are currency hedged and in what form. That side of the equation is unknown. With that caveat I believe that it probably does and is another factor in the so-called "currency wars"
Also, there was this story about RBS: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/8719799/Cost-of-insuring-RBS-debt-reaches-historic-high.html

It is now the last week of training for Hermana Antileo and we have a great week ahead of us. I can not tell you how many times she accidentally calls me mom throughout the day. And I may have almost hit her the other day in the street. I had hiccups that would not go away. Usually I just hiccup once, a big one, and then it goes away but they would not quit. So she tried to scare them out of me. We were waiting for the bus to come and she screamed like those dumb blond girls alone in the forest type and I came so close to hitting her....I still had hiccups.
We had 3 investigatores in the church on Sunday with a baptism date. Dina, Maria, and Jose.
We had 3 investigatores in the church on Sunday with a baptism date. Dina, Maria, and Jose.
Maria and Jose are a married couple. We found them through one of our less actives that we teach. Her name is Elois. She lost her job and is very lonely with a bad situation in the home so we invite her to come out with us to visit others. Half of our appointments this day and fallen through and we had to come up with a few plan C's and D's. But Hermana Elois asked us if we could go visit her brother Jose.
When we got to the house it turns out we had been trying to get a hold of this couple for a long time now. Always passing by and trying to set up appointments that always fell through. So when we went with Hermana Eloisa we entered and got to know them real well. Maria goes to another church but only because that is what her parents did and they are both questioning God right now because last Monday Jose was mugged. He is a good man and doesn't carry any money with him on the street. His back is hurt pretty badly and needs a lot of time to recover. But they said they needed what they felt when we taught them about the Savior and committed to baptism on the 27th and going to church. So when we called them on Sunday to make sure we were still good for the church they said no. Maria said he was in a lot of pain. So that was that. But about 10 minutes before we were going to leave for church she called us and said that Jose wanted to go anyway. We called a member with a car and got a ride for them both. When we went to their house they had been waiting for us outside in the cold weather. When I asked Jose what changed his mind he said that when he felt the pain in the morning something still told him......WALK.
They were so excited to enter the church. They had the biggest smiles just entering the doors and then taking the sacrament double checking with me the whole time if they were doing okay. I would pass them a few thumbs up here and there :) They may of opposed a few callings that were announced but that is alright for now.

Playing all genres of music from 110 to 179, AI always has something up his different up his sleeve. Chances are you have caught him playing his main squeeze, Drum N Bass.

provider_can package is the module that handles communicating with SONIA's subarine CAN devices.
SONIA's CAN communication standard is explained in another documentation.
available devices are:
- Barometer,
- Led indicator,
- Diver interface,
- Hydrophones,
- thrusters (6),
- Power supply,
- Mission switch,
- Droppers,
- Grabber,
- Torpedo launcher.
Usage Example
A launch file exists for launching the
provider_can package.
One you have compiled and sourced the
devel/setup.bash file, you can simply
roslaunch provider_can provider_can.launch
This will start the CAN communication system and open all the published topics.
Global Architecture
Class Diagrams
Configuration file
In the
/provider_can/config directory, you can find
kvaser_conf.yaml file which can be
passed as a parameter to the ROS node. This file allows the user to modify some of
the configurations of the CAN drivers. The content of the yaml file is shown below.
- provider_can/driver/baudrate: 125
- provider_can/driver/device_id: 1
- provider_can/driver/unique_id: 1
- provider_can/driver/channel: 0
- provider_can/driver/usb_device: "KVaser"
baudrate: CAN baudrate values, in kHz. possible values are: 50, 62, 100, 125, 250 and 1000.
Actual config is 125.
device_id and unique_id: Computer ID. This is the CAN ID that will be used by the provider_can when sending broadcast messages.
See Electrical section in the Wiki page for more inforamtions about IDs.
channel: KVaser bus channel to use.
usb_device: Actually, only one CAN device is possible, which is KVaser. All KVaser devices use the same librairies.
ROS Node
Subscribed Topics
provider_can only publish topics.
Published Topics
For each device initialized, there are 3 topics published:
- DEVICE_msgs,
- DEVICE_notices,
- DEVICE_properties,
Where DEVICE is the name of the specific device (example: barometer_msgs)
Theses topics will contain all device's specific informations that are important during subarine's operation, such as speed for thrusters or pressure for barometer.
These topics will contain ping responses and faults for each devices.
These topics will contain devices properties. These properties will
be published at
provider_can startup for each discovered and known devices.
Properties are:
- uint16 firmware_version :
Signature of LPC chip
- uint32 uc_signature :
may be RESET, SLEEP, WAKEUP or ISP
- uint8 capabilities :
any data
- uint8 device_data :
RTR send rate, in ms
- uint16 poll_rate
In Winter 2016 version of provider_can, poll_rate properties means nothing.
It is not actually implemented in ELE part. It will be later on.
provider_can offers 1 service, which is defined in
sonia_msgs file.
The name of the service is
The service is common to all devices. You may set thrusters speed, light intensity, diver_interface displayed text, etc. with this same service. See the parameters for more informations.
This part is very important. It explains how to use the main service
of the provider_can, which is
/provider_can/can/send_can_message (
uint8 device_id,
uint8 unique_id,
uint8 method_number,
float64 parameter_value,
string string_param) : returns uint8
As an example, if we want to send speed 50 to the port thruster, we would send this command in a command prompt:
rosservice call /provider_can/send_can_message 2 1 0 50 ""
- param device_id = 2 // DEVICE_ID_actuators (constant defined in SendCanMessage.srv)
- param unique_id = 1 // UNIQUE_ID_ACT_port_motor (constant defined in SendCanMessage.srv)
- param method_number = 0 // METHOD_MOTOR_set_speed (constant defined in SendCanMessage.srv)
- param parameter_value = 50 // speed value
- param string_param = "" // unused
See next sections for more explanations.
device_id represents the ID number of a specific class of devices, such as
actuator or sensors. The IDs are all defined as constants in
send_can_message service.
unique_id represents the ID number of a specific device in a device_id class.
The IDs are all defined as constants in
send_can_message service.
method_number and
method_number is the method you want to call from the specified device. Some methods
are common to all devices.
parameter_value is the only possible parameter of that method.
Note: diver_interface has a string parameter. All methods numbers are defined as contants in the service .srv file.
This parameter is only used by diver interface. It is the parameter for the methods METHOD_DIVER_set_mission_string and METHOD_DIVER_set_state_string. It changes the strings displayed on the interface.
can_send_message always return 0 or 1, depending if the device specified is present or not on the can bus.

Psalm 107:17 (The Message)
17-22 Some of you were sick because you'd lived a bad life, your bodies feeling the effects of your sin; You couldn't stand the sight of food, so miserable you thought you'd be better off dead. Then you called out to God in your desperate condition;
He got you out in the nick of time. He spoke the word that healed you, that pulled you back from the brink of death. So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children He loves; Offer thanksgiving sacrifices, tell the world what He's done—sing it out!
Perversion - To lead astray morally. To turn away from the right course. To lead into mental error or false judgment. To turn to an improper use; misapply.
Lust - Intense sexual desire or appetite. Uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness. A passionate or overmastering desire or craving.
Fornication - Voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other.
Lesbianism - Sexual orientation of women to other women.
Adultery - Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man or woman and a partner other than the legal spouse
Harlotry - A prostitute or promiscuous woman.
There are those who are reading right now and thinking, this is not me. I don't struggle with any of these things now. Maybe not now, but what about in your past? Remember, we are talking about "Hidden Wounds" It is so important to understand that sin has a residue, and that even after God has delivered us and strengthened us to change our ways…the continued filling of our temples with the word of God is key in washing away that residue.
I share this with you all on today, because the guilt and shame we can carry because of our past can keep us from moving in to our future. In particular, all of the terms I have listed above, when acted out, are sins against our personal bodies, our temple's; and for women there is a special worth in our femininity and our purity. When that worth has been lost, guilt and condemnation set in, along with hopelessness, for we see no way in reclaiming what has been stolen by the works of satan. Even when we have moved on in the physical, our thought life can be plagued by the memories and impressions – thus residue, of our past.
Let me stop right here and now, and tell you what God says about the whole thing.
John 8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning (at dawn), He came back into the temple [[a]court], and the people came to Him in crowds. He sat down and was teaching them, 3 When the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court and put the case before Him.
4 Teacher, they said, This woman has been caught in the very act of adultery. 5 Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such [women—offenders] shall be stoned to death. But what do You say [to do with her—what is Your sentence]? 6 This they said to try (test) Him, hoping they might find a charge on which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger. 7 However, when they persisted with their question, He raised Himself up and said, Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.
8 Then He bent down and went on writing on the ground with His finger. 9 They listened to Him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before Him in the center of the court. 10 When Jesus raised Himself up, He said to her, Woman, where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you? 11 She answered, No one, Lord! And Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin no more.
I believe we could insert the words Fornication, Lesbianism, Harlotry, any of those sins against the body, where God dealt with Adultery in the scripture above. The point is this...
Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Come out of condemnation and guilt. You may have once walked after the flesh, but you are now walking after the Spirit. God can and will restore EVERYTHING that was stolen from you in your past. Receive it! Women of God, has He now Blessed you with a wonderful husband? Receive it! Has he restored your marriage? Receive it! Has He taken away the taste and desire for movies, music, or even friends, that stir up lustful desires? Receive it! Most importantly here, Guard (protect, defend, watch, secure) your heart and your thought life. How, start with daily doses of the word of God! Follow with membership in a Bible based church, and welcome the new set of friends God will send your way. Also, know that there are times when God will direct you to additional help to fully walk away from past sins of perversion. He has given a great gift to the body of Christ in the form of Pastoral and Christian Counselors, many of which who are Licensed Professional Counselors as well. Make use of this resource if you need to. Don't let guilt or shame keep you from talking with someone when needed.
I'll end on today by sharing just a bit of my own testimony, and I will do so poetically if you don't mind. God Bless you, and remember, John 8:36, Whom the Son sets free, is free in deed.
What You Won't Do, For Love
sit down and let me tell you bout this Love thang
and for Love all the things I've been through.
as I consider my life, some joy, some strife
it's true, for Love
what I didn't do.
love it blinds the eyes
and then it hypnotizes
and before you know it you've been compromised.
and years later you wonder, why your goin' through?
you see for Love
what you didn't do.
now hang with me my sista' cause I've been sent here to free ya.
For in your search for true love
you're not alone.
trying to quench a
spiritual fire
with an earthly desire,
right there, that's where you went wrong.
you didn't understand that you were formed in Gods hands.
fashioned in His love not to be violated by any man.
It's His love, that our spirit really craves.
not an earthly love, but Agape.
Agape is patient and kind
not puffed up with pride.
it says truth always wins; it covers a multitude of sin.
it endures all things never once weakening.
we can't expect any man without Christ
these things to do.
for only Gods love in us
then shared
is a love that's true.And anything else
leaves you wanting
it will never do.
so can you step back a minute realize your spirit was in it?
can you try and reconnect with just what you have left?
be restored today with so much taken away?
and the answer my sister is Yes!
you must acknowledge the sin, the pain
that lies within.
you must stand up and shout
i'm turning my life around.
you must believe in your heart and receive
His grace and His pardon.
and then soon, you'll sing it too,
for God's Agape Love
what I wouldn't do.
for God's Agape Love
what I wouldn't do.

During its successful presidential campaign, the Trump Administration derived much of its support from (and perhaps owes its victory to) blue collar, rust belt residents.
These individuals feel they have been left behind not just by the changes in the economy, but by the ongoing transformation of the energy sector in the United States, which has left coal-fired generation (and related extraction industries) in the figurative dust.
And while most of the changes in the space are, in the opinion of S&P Global Ratings, the result of shifting economics and increased automation, not adverse regulation, promises made by the Trump campaign were compelling and then-candidate Trump was viewed by some as offering a potential energy renaissance that would cut across sectors and make the rust belt great again.
In March, President Trump announced that the Clean Power Plan (CPP) would, over time, be repealed - and, unlike its healthcare brethren, not replaced. Certainly, equipped with a like-minded cabinet, a head of the EPA who was openly hostile to the agency in his prior role, and a Republican Congress, the President has considerable latitude in pursuing any sort of energy and environmental agenda desired; indeed the first two bills of substance that crossed his desk were on environmental rules.
But how many of these lofty campaign promises will become bona fide economic outcomes, and what does it mean for various unregulated power sector participants? While that depends on which part of the industry we're discussing, the consequences could be considerable, and these were hammered home more recently by the June 1 announcement that the United States would leave the Paris climate agreement by 2020.
"From Paris to West Virginia," Exiting the CPP Would Set the U.S. on a New Path Regarding Climate Change
The CPP was expected to have been the signature environmental achievement of the Obama Administration, but, for the last year or so, it had been tied up in litigation after a surprise Supreme Court decision to stay the implementation of the rule. This decision cast doubt on the future, or at least the start date, of the rule, but the subsequent imbroglio over selecting the replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia (who passed away shortly after the ruling), the election of President Trump and subsequent elevation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, is likely to become the death knell for the CPP.
While the CPP would have capitalized on trends already afoot due to market factors and state-level regulation (such as mass coal to gas switching and lower demand growth), the rule would have precipitated an even greater transformation of the power sector, one characterized by ubiquitous renewable portfolio standards, greater building of gas and electric transmission to displace coal-fired assets from even the most ardently pro-coal states, and a revived focus on energy efficiency programs, with states, municipalities, and corporations collaborating to divine lowest cost solutions to carbon reduction.
But, what is past is prologue, and if the CPP is not entirely dead, it is on life support due to the aforementioned litigation surrounding it. While the litigation challenging the CPP is still ongoing, it's evident that the current EPA head is less than inclined to enforce the EPA's regulations to the same degree as his predecessor, lawsuits from environmentally concerned states and activist groups notwithstanding. The next four years remain a highly critical time period in efforts to decarbonize the global economy under the terms of the Paris agreement, which seems more challenging without American participation (though it remains unclear how quickly the U.S. will actually be able to get out of this agreement).
Exiting The Paris Agreement
A lot of attention was paid to the U.S. Presidential election outcome at the Conference of the Parties 22 (COP 22), which was held in Marrakech in November 2016, and what actions the new President might take - and fears about a withdrawal were realized in June. There are generally seen to be three ways in which the U.S. could exit the Paris Agreement, which include:
Pursuant to the Paris Agreement (four years)
• Earliest possible date: Nov. 4, 2020
• Beginning three years after entry into force (Nov. 4, 2019), parties may withdraw by giving one year's notice.
• U.S. law: The President can withdraw from executive agreements on his or her own authority.
Pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (one year)
• The UNFCCC is the framework that oversees the Paris Agreement and other international climate protocols. Any party may withdraw by giving one year's notice.
• A party that withdraws from UNFCCC shall be considered as also having withdrawn from the Paris Agreement.
• The U.S. would have no input into future UNFCCC negotiations and international agreements after withdrawal.
• U.S. law: In practice, presidential withdrawal unlikely to be overruled by courts, even though UNFCCC was unanimously approved by the Senate.
Outside the terms of the Paris Agreement and UNFCCC
• Withdrawal would violate international law.
• U.S. law: It is unclear if the President has the authority to violate international law, but Congress can do so.
Exiting the Clean Power Plan: What It Means
The S&P Global Ratings report discusses in detail how exiting the Clean Power Plan might impact each part of the power sector, and especially issuers involved in coal, nuclear, natural gas, and renewable energy. The summary findings are as follows:
Coal: the removal of the two regulatory scapegoats will, according to Trump, restore the competitiveness of coal-fired assets. But in reality it's unclear whether a rollback will benefit coal generators, whose demise is more accurately attributed to the rise of natural gas, rather than any regulatory hindrances.
Renewables: while the CPP is an obvious boon, renewables development to date has derived from state-level programs. And this is expected to be maintained (and even strengthened) over time. In fact, some red states in the Midwest – where wind and solar are gaining traction – have benefited from renewables-supportive tax credits. Kansas, for instance, is lobbying to preserve incentives for renewables development (to coal's detriment).
Nuclear: the consequences of Trump's energy policy are more nuanced. Nuclear will likely benefit from the removal of existing regulations that have increased operational costs. But a watering down of the CPP's carbon allowances may, in turn, remove the incentive for maintaining nuclear assets
Natural gas: repealing the CPP will be largely inconsequential for natural gas. Gas-fired generation has grown for economic reasons – not because of any regulatory advantage. In the longer-term, however, there are concerns that slowing energy demand could dissuade further natural gas investment.
Off-Base: The Struggles Of Baseload Generators
Both coal and nuclear have stumbled in recent years, and while they have very different attributes, the reasons are actually quite similar. Baseload plants are, by their very nature, price taking generators, because they don't have the ability to quickly ramp up and down in response to changes in real time pricing activity. And, because they run most of the time, they're much more dependent on energy margins, which, in unregulated markets, tend to be more volatile and less visible than capacity prices.
This has become more problematic as the U.S. grid has transformed. Penetration of renewables and introduction of more demand and energy efficiency products has made net demand less certain, even as supply has grown. A more variable grid certainly supports the development of peaking resources to supplement the renewables, but it can curb around the clock (ATC) pricing to the detriment of baseload generators. The trend is only expected to deepen, as the proliferation of renewable generation continues in key markets, and as battery storage develops further.
Still, baseload generators are, in the opinion of the Department of Energy, critical to both energy security and grid reliability, so there may be a respite yet. The 60-day review being conducted by the department is expected to opine on the viability of these assets in the current pricing environment, and what, if anything, can be done to support them.
However, the CPP would have meant that there was significant value in nuclear assets, as we would have expected states to assign a value to carbon allowances - this value, presumably, would have pushed up power prices and renewed positive cash flow for nuclear generators. Because they would have had longer term value, and because compliance with carbon reduction mandates would have been nigh impossible without baseload nuclear generators (which presumably would have been replaced with baseload gas, which is carbon intensive), states would have had considerable incentive to keep the nuclear assets open through above market subsidies. That incentive will likely disappear with the CPP, though we reiterate that a decision to close a nuclear asset is generally a permanent one, which could set back any future carbon reduction efforts (if, for instance, a successor president were to re-enter the U.S. in the Paris agreement).
Even in the absence of a formal, federal policy driving carbon reduction in the U.S. during the past eight years, carbon emissions have fallen precipitously since their 2005 peak, and we expect they will continue to do so going forward. The significant displacement of coal-fired generation in favor of cheaper gas, advancing biofuel development, lower cost renewables, state level policies, and diminished demand growth are all to thank for lower carbon emission levels.
But is there a natural limit to how much further carbon emissions might fall if further policies aren't enacted, or if current policies are pulled back? Environmentalists in the U.S. (and abroad) are keen to understand how much of this carbon reduction was market driven, and how much was derived from environmental policies of the Obama Administration. This may not be an immediate concern, but with the U.S. still likely to be bound by the Paris agreement, it will be at some point in the next decade - it's not clear that the current trajectory is sufficient to drop emissions by 28 percent by 2025 as called for in the agreement.
• Coal to Gas: To date, the displacement of coal-fired generation by gas-fired generation on economic grounds has been a key contributor to decarbonization. To some degree, we anticipate this will continue. However, around the margins, the progress could be slower. Even with lower gas prices that continue to improve dispatch for gas turbines, a slower rate of closure for coal assets could create a natural ceiling to dispatch. When we had anticipated the CPP taking hold, we expected that certain coal assets would close, not because of the requirement to add expensive environmental technology (as was the case with MATS) but because a carbon cost would have made them even less economical - even some baseload assets.
• Renewables: State-level renewable standards as well as extensions of supportive tax credits have bolstered the growth of the renewable industry, and, by extension, have contributed to decarbonization. However, we expect the rate of renewable penetration could slow. While states with current RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standards) are likely to continue them, we had expected the EPA's plan would have led less progressive states especially to adopt RPS in order to meet carbon reduction mandates; this is likely to be absent now. The wild card continues to be how competitive solar and wind can be absent tax incentives. The cost of equipment, especially solar panels, has fallen precipitously and operating expenses have come down as well.
• Energy Efficiency/Demand Curtailment: While other forms of carbon reduction may slow, we expect that the pattern of demand growth reduction and energy efficiency should continue even under a new administration. The continued flattening of the demand curve has occurred independently of any type of orchestrated federal policy, stemming rather from a weaker link between GDP growth and power demand growth, as well as state level policies.
Incidentally, because of the reduced demand growth, market heat rates have contracted, and while marginal units may be losing dispatch (in unregulated markets), more efficient ones are continuing to see high capacity factors (if not high power margins) - consequently, more efficient units generating a greater percentage of megawatts may lead to greater carbon reduction. We expect a flat to modestly negative growth pattern in demand over the next two years.
• Operational Improvements: As with coal to gas switching, while the legal need for this may have lapsed, the utility of this may rest more on market factors. Diminished gas prices, which now appear to be persistent, have curbed the economic rationale for running coal plants as frequently as they did in the past (independent of any environmental rules); if this is the case, there's really not as strong an economic reason for improving heat rates and efficiency for coal units, especially for marginal units that are likely to close for economic reasons within the next decade anyway, especially if low power prices and uninspiring capacity market performance persist.
In the end, we expect that the Trump Administration will, at least temporarily, slow the progress of decarbonization in the U.S., though ongoing coal to gas switching will continue to have implications. While market forces are likely to continue to lower emissions to some degree, there is probably a limit to the success of this in meeting the U.S. climate change goal by 2025 without a comprehensive plan for carbon reduction, and one is not likely forthcoming during this administration.

Geist Launches Version 3.7 for Environet DCiM Systems
1 October 2012, Fort Collins, CO—Today, Geist launches the 3.7 release for their Environet DCiM systems. The upgrade includes the highly anticipated Rack Manager which allows users to manage racks in the data center on their own. Simply add the desired racks, identify and associate the power strips, branch circuits, or any other power or temperature readings. Get total power, load balance, high temperature, and a variety of other user-definable calculations. In addition to defining rack calculations, users can now see a graphic on the rack view for each of their racks that depicts calculations such as total power, load balance, and temperature.
This latest upgrade includes a fully enhanced version of the old maintenance schedule called the Maintenance Manager. The new feature allows users to schedule maintenance windows in advance for pre-defined times, receive reminders when maintenance is due, document instructions, schedule recurring maintenance and automatically place selected devices into maintenance mode.
Version 3.7 also includes improved tenant views from the Tenant Manager. The updated tenant views include the ability to monitor a tenant's circuit usage via bar graphs which depict real-time data such as power and load.
President of Geist DCiM, Matt Lane, explains, "Version 3.7 provides some highly anticipated features that will make managing your Environet system at the rack-level easier than ever before. Giving users the ability to associate data to racks gives them immediate flexibility and control over the data being monitored. The graphical improvements allow users to visualize real-time data more efficiently and drill down to view pieces of data."

I thought I was only dreaming out loud last week.
"A company that looks after 17.3 million on-the-go subscribers with the disposable income to pay for satellite radio provides a juicy target audience for any handset maker," I wrote on Friday, highlighting the opportunities for a post-merger XM
I guess the XM BlackBerry is now more than wishful thinking. XM is teaming up with QuickPlay Media to offer a sliver of its programming through Research In Motion's
The service isn't perfect. BlackBerry jockeys pay $7.99 a month for Web-streamed access to just 20 of XM's 170 channels. That's in the ballpark of the yawn-inducing mobile deals XM previously struck with Alltel
Don't get me wrong. Twenty crisp comedy and commercial-free music channels are better than none at all. The BlackBerry deal also brings XM's popular The Virus channel -- home of Opie & Anthony and my satellite-radio faves Ron & Fez -- into the mix. The Alltel and AT&T deals are strictly music-driven.
However, there's a reason you don't see XM shouting its Alltel and AT&T subscriber numbers from its satellite-beaming rooftops. Those services really aren't that great of a deal.
Existing XM subscribers can get a complete second subscription for just $6.99 a month, with receivers practically given away. Why pay more for less? And maybe I'm misreading my BlackBerry-pecking friends, but this isn't exactly the dream target audience for a premium audio-streaming service.
I guess I won't be satisfied until someone wedges an actual satellite radio receiver into an Apple
I realize that this may be too bulky an appliance by today's standards, but that will change over time. Heck, I'll even settle for a phone company -- any handset maker -- to go the other way, and wedge a cell phone into one of the existing XM and Sirius portable systems.
Until we get to that point, these wireless deals may make for flashy headlines, but they're just not ready to move the needle.

Government plans to get Geographical Identification tag for four traditional Bengali sweets
West Bengal government is planning to get Geographical Identification (GI) tag for four traditional sweetmeat delicacies of the state with a view to protect them from imitations and for exporting them in future.
The four sweetmeats for which GI tags are being sought are 'Moa' of Jainagar, 'Sarpuria' of Krishnagar, and 'Sitabhog' and 'Mihidana' of Burdwan, Director of Food Processing Industries Jayanta Kumar Aikat said.
A GI tag is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin.
While 'Jainagar-er moa' is made of puffed rice and date palm jaggery at Jainagar in South 24 Parganas district, Krishnagar of Nadia district is famous for 'Sarpuria' which is made of milk cream. 'Sitabhog' and 'Mihidana' are rice based sweets of Burdwan.
"GI tag is necessary for these items to protect them from cheap imitations. It will also help preserve quality," Aikat said at the inaugural programme of 'Mishti Mela' (sweet fair) here in Malda district last evening.
The government also has plans to export sweets from the state in future and the GI tags would be of immense help in that endeavour, he said.
Aikat also underlined the necessity of maintaining quality of the sweets and their packaging which will help increase shelf life of the sweetmeats.
Machines, instead of hands, should be used in sweet making to increase production and maintain quality, he said.
Machines for sweet making and their packaging were displayed at the fair.
Food Processing Minister Krishnendu Chowdhury also stressed on good packaging to increase shelf life of Bengali sweets as a majority of them are made of 'chhana'.
"The shelf life of sweets made of chhana is much less compared to those made of 'kheer' or coconut in other parts of the country," Chowdhury said.
Nine districts of the state participated in the two-day sweet fair in which 'Langcha' of Shaktigarh, 'Chamcham' of Belakoba, 'Jalbhara' of Hooghly, 'Chhanabara' of Murshidabad and 'Ras-kadamba' of Malda and other delicacies are on sale.
Last year there was a debate between Bengal and Odisha, both laying claims to be the originators of the sweet. To settle the debate over the rest, the Odisha government had set up three committees.
All possible hands have been brought to the table. So if the order came from the office of the Odisha Science and Technology Ministry, the committees will include members from the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Culture Departments.
Odisha Science and Technology Minister Pradeep Panigrahi had said the committees would consider how to go about getting a Geographical Indication (GI) registration for rasgulla, so that Odisha can "file a claim over it". "We have never filed a GI for a food item. The rasgulla is a first for us," he had added.
The three Odisha rasgulla panels had three distinct goals. The first panel would look into evidence regarding its origin in Odisha, the second would study the grounds for West Bengal staking claim to it, the third would collect necessary documents to validate Odisha's stand.
Odisha's claim is that rasgulla was first served at the 12th-century Lord Jagannath Temple. This makes it at least three centuries old in Odisha, while Bengal only traces it back 150 years. West Bengal historian Haripada Bhowmik, who specialises in Bengali sweets, says that belief is misplaced. "The spongy white delicacy called rasgulla is made from chhena, which has distinct characteristics. It's the unquestioned truth that Nobin Chandra Das (who called himself the inventor of rasgulla) was the pioneer of it. Even (Odia leader) Biju Patnaik acknowledged Nobin Chandra Das's rasgulla and its Bengali origins," Bhowmik had said.

Burgess Hill Labour Party thanks the 1500 plus residents who enthusiastically supported the petition to Mid Sussex District Council calling for a three hour free parking period in the town.
We particularly thank the small traders in the town who overwhelmingly supported the idea.
Regrettably, at its meeting on December 17 the Conservative-led Mid Sussex District Council voted to note the petition and to maintain the current charging policy.
This is particularly disappointing because it is absolutely clear that a free parking period helps to rejuvenate small towns. Towns across the country have proved this and in Sussex places from Bexhill in the east to Midhurst in the west have reported on the success of free parking they have introduced. Even in Mid Sussex free parking (once a parking disk has been purchased) is acknowledged to make a big difference to larger villages such as Hurstpierpoint and Hassocks, and the district council acknowledges that parking concessions in the town centres at Christmas boost trade.
The local Conservatives are clearly out of touch and disgracefully categorised the petitioners, some of them their own supporters, as protesters who will sign anything for a 'free lunch'.
We were very surprised that the Mayor of the town, Councillor Anne Jones, who has recently written about the problems of parking in residential roads and drawn attention to the under used car parks, voted to ignore the petition and to ignore the views of the small traders in the town who know that they are talking about.
We should make it clear that, in suggesting improvements, the Labour Party is not running down Burgess Hill. On the contrary we are real supporters of Burgess Hill and recognise it as a good place to live. Surely there can be nothing wrong with trying to make it even better.It is becoming increasingly obvious that the Labour Party is the only realistic opposition to the Conservatives and we will continue always to put Burgess Hill first and to fight for the interests of residents that live here. This is particularly important with new proposals for the redevelopment of the town centre and with the prospect of thousands of new homes being built in coming years.

Book Review: Earth Izayaa Allat
Written through the perspective of its two main characters: Tranquility and Infinite, the reader is introduced to an added element within the writing never before included into a creative project; that of the urban subculture of the Nation of God and Earth. It is through this framework that one sees how each character develops through the story, with its underlying theme of Love. The dialect of the culture adds-on and enriches the cleverness in the writing. The many expressions from several of the characters indirectly teach the reader what the knowledge of self is about. It provides a general view of the teachings, how its members talk, and how it informs their lifestyles. It blends well in all the other layers within the story of so-called African-American culture beautifully captured in Emblem's writing.
Sketches of Tranquility provides a creative forum of expression that enables the reader to connect, at varying levels, to the situations and/or characters of the story. For women it can become a story not too foreign from their own lived experience. For its female main character, it is the battling between success in the white-minded world and its contradictions with what she's been taught to be as a righteous Black woman. Is she embodying more of the white man's nature by getting her law degree and living on her own, rather than living out her nature as the true and living Earth, who is the Mother of civilization? It is this contradiction, as it is brought to her attention as a form of mental abuse by the male main character that becomes one of Tranquility's battles with him. Mother than an independent woman, Tranquility is an expert in mastering both the grafted world (by extracting an expertise that will bring her financial security and serves as a way to help original peoples) and her world of truth embodied by her mother, sisters, and Infinite, whom she wants nothing more but his upliftment. She's a woman that has it all together: a successful schooling career, a job in her field of study, a tight-knit family, knowledge of herself, and the ability to inspire. Infinite is the archetype of what most men in urban United States go through. Falling victim to savage passion and his inability to properly activate his talents were some of his struggles. Knowing the white man's traps (i.e. more Black woman in college than Black men), he rather deals with his reality by attacking his black woman and trusting a female devil in providing him artistic guidance. His defeat and loss of power is felt all throughout this amazingly written novel.
This has been one of the most powerful stories I've read in quite sometime. Peace, Earth Izayaa Allat.

Review from Eternal Earth
(http://emblemofjustice.blogspot.com)not sure how I even found it, yet I did. To give a little back round Emblem is a 5% (a tru n liveing, like for real)..I had started copying his blogs for my ex-God to read (he was incarcerated at the time)...he read and said yeah he a tru n living..just is, now this was the beginning of myself getting into 120 (knowledge of self)....and if anyone who knows that studies and IS 120 knows its like new air :)....I honestly can not explain it in words,yet the one that does is Emblem. Just go to his blogspot and enter the real air of life. So anyways he started writing Sketch, not a clue to how it even started for him, all is his blogs are everything and anything of life, reality, related back to 120, its crazy...it freaking makes sense!

'Sketch Review' by Khadijah Khalifah Muhammad
I completed reading the novel, 'A Sketch Of Tranquility', by Emblem and "WOW" is the first word that comes to mind.
I found ASOT to be pleasurably feisty and forceful. Supremely written, A Sketch Of Tranquility is sexy, sizzling, funny, inspirational, and heartbreaking. Emblem did not waste our time with a watered down version of life. His depiction of the lives of the two main characters, Tranquility and Infinite, is adult, raw, open, realistic, honest, and very close to home for many of us, I'm sure. Quite often, I found myself putting the book down to reminisce of moments where I may have experienced similar situations as superbly illustrated in ASOT. Over and over again, I found myself laughing out loud, angry, sad, melancholy or in the mood for love….
If you're looking for some good, solid, adult reading over the Spring and Summer, I highly recommend A Sketch Of Tranquility. As well, it would make a great addition to your book club, as ASOT offers a wealth of opportunities for character and situational analysis.
Hats off to you Emblem, job well done!!!
Khadijah Khalifah Muhammad.

Water is one of the best beverages you can drink, yet we often don't think about water the same way we think about needing a cup of coffee in the morning. It's important to drink water and here are some simple ways to get into the habit of drinking lots of water everyday.
Why Drinking Water Is Important
While water is essential to survive, it can also help maintain an appropriate balance of fluids in your body, which can help with digestion, transportation of nutrients, removing waste from your body and maintaining body temperature.
It can also help improve the look of your skin because when dehydrated, skin can look more dry and wrinkled. Dehydration can also result in low blood pressure, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Water can be a simple solution.
How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?
Guidelines have suggested that men should drink about 13 cups of total fluids a day and women should drink about 9 cups of total fluids a day. Intake suggestions are greater for men, as they are generally larger and have more muscle mass than women.
If this total intake of fluids seems like a lot, don't get overwhelmed. This really only breaks down to about 4 to 8 sips of water an hour. Often, it's not the amount of water that's the issue, instead, it could be that remembering to drink water is the tricky part. Along with remembering to drink water comes choosing to drink water as opposed to other tasty beverages. While pop or sports drinks may sound appealing, the sugar in these drinks could actually make you thirstier. So when you can, stick to water or at the very least drink water in addition to other drink options. Water isn't only good for you but it's also the least expensive beverage option!

Used 2010 Kia Sportage SUV

Kia Sportage SUV
2010 Kia Sportage Pricing

2010 Kia Sportage KBB Expert Review
Those who remember the original Sportage SUV probably won't recognize the current model. Gone are the body-on-frame architecture, somewhat harsh ride and moderate engine power. The 2010 Kia Sportage derives its underpinnings from a car platform to give it a smooth ride, improved handling and better crash-test results. The trade-off is an inability to tackle the harshest sorts of off-road terrain (the Sportage lacks a high/low transfer case and locking differentials), but heavy snow and mud are still easily managed. And, while the humble Sportage must contend with perennial favorites such as the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester, many people will find its low price and long list of standard features quite tempting.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you're on a modest budget but don't want to give up comfort or convenience, you'll appreciate Kia's approach to the compact SUV segment. And, while its V6 engine produces little more power than Honda's in-line four, you'll appreciate the V6's smoothness with every tip of the accelerator.
You May Not Like This Car If...
If you're an individual who cherishes an established nameplate, Kia (despite dramatic sales growth) lacks the long history of some other brands. And though Kia has definitely made strides versus segment leaders from Toyota and Honda, the Sportage might be a shade down from them in product refinement.
What's New for 2010
The 2010 Kia Sportage receives an "EcoMinder" indicator light on automatic transmission-equipped models that helps the driver maximize fuel economy. A new backup warning system is now offered with the EX Luxury Package.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
Kia's product team has hit the sweet spot in achieving a ride and handling balance completely appropriate to the target consumer. With a curb weight of roughly 3,400 pounds, the 2010 Kia Sportage is no lightweight. That fairly substantial heft is reflected in a feeling of solidity from the unit body structure. Suspension settings are biased toward comfort and the steering provides some appreciated feedback. The V6 engine, while offering two more cylinders than the 2010 Honda CR-V (Toyota offers a V6 with its RAV4), doesn't seem any more responsive than the Honda when connected to the standard four-speed automatic. We'd view the Sportage's on-road demeanor as creditable, although not entertaining, but, for an SUV, being creditable is more important.
Favorite Features
Distinctive Design
The Sportage's distinctive design is modern, clean and attractive. In an era of generic styling emanating from many Asian studios, it's refreshing to see something truly distinctive without the carmaker resorting to "shock and awe."
Quality Interior Appointments
Kia has made great strides in quality, with improved plastics and upholstery throughout the lineup. On top of improved quality is true utility, with easy ingress and egress and a fold-flat rear seat that provides real stowage capability.
Vehicle Details
Most Sportage prospects will be pleased by its interior, combining real functionality with a number of upscale touches. The attractive cloth upholstery gives an impression of comfort and durability. The instrument panel has easy-to-read gauges and the center-mounted cluster has controls that are easily identified and appropriately ergonomic. Adding to the upscale appeal are aluminized accents on both the instrument and door panels. Seating position is appropriately upright and, while the available sunroof encroaches slightly on rear-seat headroom, most adults will find either front or rear seating to be generous. As with most compact SUVs, the fifth passenger's area, in the center of the rear seat, is somewhat marginal.
The 2010 Kia Sportage represents a dramatic departure from the original Sportage design, which was discontinued in 2002. Today's Sportage wears a curvaceous, almost organic look, with a get-up-and-go attitude accentuated by short overhangs, a relatively wide track, ample tires (235/60-16 all-season radials) and generous headroom. Freshly revised last year, the 2010 model carries over the new face of Kia design. New wheels add a sporty look and 17-inch alloys are offered for the first time. The Sportage's hatch features an opening window for convenience; while the V6's dual exhaust system with chrome tips accentuates the Sportage's SUV intensions.
Notable Standard Equipment
Kia's tagline, "The Power to Surprise," is abundantly evident when viewing the Sportage's window sticker. A high level of standard equipment is part of Kia's core strategy. Available in either LX or EX variants, the Sportage enjoys an almost opulent level of equipment, especially considering its price range. Young families concerned with safety will appreciate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and traction control (TCS). Audiophiles will enjoy an AM/FM/CD/MP3 system with six speakers and a three-month subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Privacy side glass is standard across the board, while a sunroof is included on the EX at no additional charge. Finally, while we wish the roof rails offered more than the stated 100-pound capacity, they are included in the base window sticker price as standard equipment.
Notable Optional Equipment
On the EX, the Luxury Package includes leather seats and trim, heated front seats, rear warning system, automatic headlamps and a six-disc CD changer, amplifier and subwoofer. Stand alone items include four-wheel drive, a navigation system (EX only), remote start and a number of dealer-installed upgrades.
Under the Hood
The base LX utilizes a fairly conventional (for the category) 2.0 liter in-line four, while the EX benefits from the 2.7 liter DOHC V6. It, along with the Hyundai Tucson and
Ford Escape, were among the first to offer six-cylinder power in the compact utility category. We were not overly impressed by the responsiveness of the V6; it will meet consumer expectations, but we don't believe it will exceed them. The four-cylinder should be reserved for light duty only – no full loads, light towing and little exposure to work at high altitudes.
2.0-liter in-line 4
140 horsepower @ 6000 rpm
136 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/25 (2WD),19/24 (4WD, manual)
2.7-liter V6
173 horsepower @ 6000 rpm
178 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/23
Pricing Notes
The 2010 Kia Sportage LX, equipped with two-wheel drive, a four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual transmission, has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting slightly above $17,500. The EX, with V6, four-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, is close to $25,000. To make your best deal, be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price. It shows the typical transaction price others have paid for the 2010 Kia Sportage in your area. Also be aware that, despite one of the industry's best warranties, a Kia will not offer the return on investment in the form of resale value enjoyed by Honda or Toyota owners. The Sportage does, however, retain values similar to the Suzuki Grand Vitara and Hyundai Tucson.

text: A sebastopol just hatched and the other egg is pipped!! I started with 4 eggs that were shipped within state. One didn't develop, and one died at about 2 weeks. I also cheated and bought 2 goslings a week ago, because I was worried that the eggs wouldn't hatch - now I might end up with 4 goslings! The one that hatched seems very grey so I hope it's a girl. The older goslings that I bought are probably both males, so I'm hoping the last egg will make it and be a girl, too. How can you verify their gender when they are full grown? Can you tell by looking or not until one lays an egg???

UCI Mountain Bike World Cup: Swiss riders dominate in XCO at Mont-Ste-Anne
It was Swiss day at Mont Ste Anne, Canada, on Sunday, for Round 5 of the Cross-country series in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano, with Jolanda Neff (Liv Pro XC) and Nino Schurter (Scott-Odlo) convincingly winning the Elite women's and men's races, respectively. Neff added to her lead in the overall standings, while Schurter crept a little closer to men's leader Julien Absalon (BMC), who finished second.
Mont Ste Anne is always one of the hardest courses on the World Cup circuit; a true classic with steep climbs and rocky, rooty descents. Add in mud from heavy rain the night before and hot, humid conditions on race day, and this became a race of attrition.
Neff shot off the front of the women's race on the start loop of the six lap race, never to be seen again. The Swiss rider, who is actually the Under-23 world champion but chooses to ride in the Elite category, extended her lead to nearly a minute and a half by mid-race, before Catharine Pendrel (Luna) began to reduce the gap slowly, to just over a minute at the finish.
Pendrel took up the solo chase effort in the first lap, with a group of three forming behind by lap four, containing Lea Davison (Specialized Racing XC), Katerina Nash (Luna) and Emily Batty (Trek Factory Racing). While the front two positions were set, the trio vying for third battled until the last lap, taking turns opening slight gaps on the other two. Finally, Nash was able to break clear for third, with Davison taking fourth just ahead of Batty.
"I maybe didn't want to go out that early, but it just happened," explained Neff. "The race started and I was in the front, so I just thought that I would ride my pace and see what happened. I like the track here very well, so it was a great race. I don't actually like these hot conditions, I'm usually the best when it rains, but I did a lot of cooling today because I knew it was going to be hot. I hope I can keep my shape and I hope to continue doing well."
Neff now holds an almost unbeatable lead in the series with two races remaining at 900 points. Batty jumps from sixth to second at 590 points, just two ahead of Tanja Zakelj (Unior Tools).
The men's race, as expected, became a duel between the two preeminent men on the circuit – Schurter and Absalon. Between the two riders they have won all five rounds of the World Cup thus far, with Absalon holding an advantage by one win.
World champion Schurter attacked after the start loop and had a 15 second lead after the first lap over a chase group containing Absalon. However, the French rider bridged across on the second lap and the pair rode away from the rest of the field to battle it out for the win. Each tested the other on the steep climbs and technical descents, but it wasn't until the penultimate lap that Schurter finally got a gap. Even then, there was no time to back off because the gap never went over 18 seconds, and was 16 seconds at the line.
Dan McConnell (Trek Factory Racing), after a slow start, steadily worked his way up through the field to move into third with one lap to go and held it to the finish, with Lukas Fluckiger (BMC) taking fourth and brother Mathias Fluckiger (Stockli) fifth.
"It was a super tough race," commented Schurter. "It's a really hard course here with the changes they made for this year, with super hard climbing. It's really exciting to win here in Mont Ste Anne. I had quite a crash; I nearly took down Absalon, I'm sorry about that! The past years I've had a lot of bad luck here; at the world championships [in 2010] I flatted twice, so I feel really lucky to win here in Mont Ste Anne, it's an awesome feeling and always nice to do well here. I missed one round, so it's going to be tough to catch up in the standings, but you never know – it's still two races to go and I will fight until the last race."
Absalon leads Schurter by 260 points with two races to go, which makes it virtually impossible for the Swiss rider to catch him. McConnell remains in third, a further 140 points back.
