David: From Slingshot-Wielding Youth to King of the Garden
: Uncategorized : Written by Kevin McElroy : 07-13-2010
I wanted Chris Taft. If you're ever talking Knicks with me and I'm ragging on Isiah or Layden, talking about how unfathomable it was to draft Balkman with Rondo and Marcus Williams on the board and the Knicks without a point guard, killing the Steve Francis trade as simultaneously short-sighted and bad for the short term – basically talking like I could have done a better job running this team than the motley front office crew of the late '90s and early '00s, you can always remind me of that one.

This is People's Republic of China, an old man is headed into a banking establishment to do some everyday bank tasks. The bank is quite crowded, but after a few minutes it's finally his turn to take up the booth. He seems pretty slow with papers and also isn't the sharpest when answering the bank employee's questions, and this has been going on for a while.
The young lady who has entered the bank a few seconds after the old man, is growing impatient with the old man's progress. She's next, but it doesn't seem like her turn will be coming up soon. Also, there aren't any empty booths as there aren't many functional booths available in the bank, and even if they were, they might've been occupied as well.
She couldn't switch banks, since other banks are also pretty crowded and the switching process would probably consume more time than she's gonna end up waiting for her turn in a lifetime of bank chores. After all, there are rarely enough banks for all of people in China, as in almost any other country.
While taking her time to wait, the bright women is fantasizing something in her head :
This is the United States, an old man goes into a bank to pay some bills. Since the bank is almost empty, as soon as he enters the bank, the booth accepts him. The man has around 30 bills and is quite slow doing paperwork, so he's gonna take at least 45 minutes.
Another customer, a young woman also enters the bank. She seems impatient, and seeing the old man taking his time is boring her. Fortunately, there are plenty of other empty booths waiting for other customers, and even if there weren't, she could easily switch banks and choose another eager one with plenty of room for new customers. After all, there are many more banks than people actually need in the US.
Liberalism is pretty delicious, ain't it?
Thinking of all that, our lady realizes the old man has made only a little progress. She's wondering what is the right thing to do in a situation like this, to put the old man at the back of the waiting line, since his task requires considerable time, or let him do whatever he requires in his own turn.
The second idea, however liberal it might sound, is starting to seem dull and inefficient to the lady, and amazingly the first one is the course of action she chooses as best fitting.
After all, Liberalism ain't that suiting for everybody, is it?

In a move likely to renew debate over administration "end runs" around Congress, President Obama is preparing regulations to limit carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, the New York Times reported Thursday. The administration has already taken steps to limit "greenhouse gas" emissions from newly built power plants, the paper noted, but imposing those limits on plants already built and operating will be far more expensive.
Legislation to limit the emissions has been stalled in Congress, but Heather Zichal, White House coordinator for energy and climate change, said the renewable power and energy efficiency requirements under consideration by the administration will not require legislative approval or congressional funding. The regulations would be promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency, an administrative body created by executive order of President Nixon in 1970 and ratified by Congress later that year.
"The E.P.A. has been working very hard on rules that focus specifically on greenhouse gases from the coal sector," Zichal told the Times. "They're doing a lot of important work in that space."
Apart from the constitutional issue regarding the separation of legislative and executive powers, Republicans have criticized Obama's policy on climate change and the existing EPA regulations as obstacles to economic recovery. Even some Democrats who are "hawkish about climate action," the Times noted, fear that new standards on power plants might come at the cost of higher energy prices and fewer jobs, particularly in the industrial Midwest, a region dependent on relatively inexpensive energy from coal. The new regulations are also likely to spark protests from coal-producing states such as Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
In a unanimous 2007 Supreme Court decision, the justices ruled in Environmental Defense v. Duke Energy Corp that the EPA has the power to impose emission standards under the broad authority granted the agency by Congress in the Clean Air Act. But when the executive branch moves unilaterally to impose restrictions that Congress has refused to pass, howls of protest are often heard on Capitol Hill, as happened when the EPA came out with "cap and trade" regulations in 2011.
Early the following year, a group of 16 prominent scientists and engineers issued a statement challenging the widespread notion that scientists are virtually unanimous in sounding the alarm over climate change and calling for drastic legislation to combat it. The signers, including World Federation of Science president Antonio Zichichi, said one reason for their lack of alarm is the absence of any evidence of global warming for the previous 10 years:
The lack of warming for more than a decade, indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections, suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2.
Obama did, in fact, cite weather extremes in a speech in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, calling for "bold action" to slow the alleged warming of the planet.
"The grim alternative affects all nations: more severe storms, more famine and floods, new waves of refugees, coastlines that vanish, oceans that rise," the president declared. "This is the global threat of our time."
When last October's "Superstorm" Sandy hit the East Coast, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City were among those who attributed the harsh winds and drenching rains to man-made climate change.
"Anyone who says there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns, I think is denying reality," Cuomo said at the time. "What is clear is that the storms that we've experienced in the last year or so, around this country and around the world, are much more severe than before."
"Several weeks ago, Superstorm Sandy gave us a preview of what to expect if climate change is not addressed," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said in a video message to participants in last fall's United Nations conference on global warming.
But Martin Hoerling, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, offered a different explanation of Sandy's wrath:
Great events can have little causes. In this case, the immediate cause is most likely little more that the coincidental alignment of a tropical storm with an extratropical storm. Both frequent the west Atlantic in October.... So, while it will rain like "black cats and Frankenweenies" over the mid-Atlantic, this is not some spell conjured upon us by great external forces.... unless you believe in the monster flicks of Universal Studios fame!
Citing what was then a new study in the journal Nature, science and environmental writer Andrew Revkin wrote in 2002:
Four times since the last ice age, at intervals roughly 3,000 years apart, the Northeast has been struck by cycles of storms far more powerful than any in recent times, according to a new study. The region appears to have entered a fifth era in which such superstorms are more likely, the researchers say.
Emissions from coal-burning power plants could hardly have been the cause of extreme weather patterns going back to the last ice age, but President Obama had promised long before Sandy's arrival that he would promote environmental policies that would drive up the cost of energy. Early in his first campaign for the White House, then-Senator Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle:
Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.... Coal-powered plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.
The economy will benefit "over the long term" through "more efficient energy usage and changing light bulbs and more efficient appliances, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy," Obama said in that January 2008 interview. Back then, he also said Congress and the American people would have to be sold on that idea.
"The problem is, can you get the American people to say this is really important and force their representatives to do the right thing?" he said. Congress has yet to do the "right thing" by passing the administration's proposals, but the president no longer sees that as a barrier to his ambitious energy plans.
"The president couldn't get it done through legislation, so now he's doing it through regulation, using our tax dollars to make it happen," pointed out Oklahoma Republican Senator James Inhofe.
Obama administration efforts on behalf of the climate change agenda include working for a United Nations treaty requiring emission controls in the industrialized nations of the world. That effort, Inhofe charged, is not really about the environment.
"It's about one thing: spreading the wealth around," he declared, noting the point made in the following lead paragraph of an Associated Press report on the UN conference on climate change in Doha, Qatar, last November:
As nearly 200 countries meet in oil-and-gas-rich Qatar for annual talks starting Monday on slowing global warming, one of the main challenges will be raising climate aid for poor countries at a time when budgets are strained by financial turmoil.
President Obama, having presided over annual federal deficits of a trillion dollars and more, is familiar with the problem of strained budgets. But his solution to our own "financial turmoil" is energy prices that will "skyrocket."

The Ferrari Mondial has never been the most loved car to come out of Maranello. But don't tell that to the hardcore Ferrari fanatics over at MotorWeek.
The "timeless" Mondial has shortcomings in the handling department, which MotorWeek chalks up to the touring side of the Mondial's character. It also sounds rather tame, doesn't it?
This video also marks the first time I've ever heard John Davis say the word "butts," and he uses it to refer to the butts of every MotorWeek staffer that popped a seat in the Mondial. Delectable.
John also says something great: "You buy a Ferrari for what it is. If you don't like it, buy an NSX." I couldn't say it better myself.
Ok, enough from me. Just listen to that delicious sound the gearshift makes when going between the gates. Tasty.
MotorWeek Theater is our showcase of some of our favorite classic reviews from public television's finest motoring program. How does this video only have 13,514 views on YouTube? It's Maranello-rific!

On Exhibit: Found in Monterey Bay , Sea Otters
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Enhydra lutris nereis
Animal Type
crabs, snails, urchins, clams, mussels and other invertebrates
to 4 feet (1.2 m) and up to 50 pounds (23 kg) for females and 70 pounds (32 kg) for males
weasels, river otters, ferrets; Family: Mustelidea (sea otters are the only exclusively marine member of this family)
California: From San Mateo County in the north to near Santa Barbara in the south
Natural History
A member of the weasel family, the sea otter is the smallest marine mammal in North America. The southern, or California, sea otter ranges along the coast from San Mateo County southward through Monterey County and down to Santa Barbara County.
Unlike other marine mammals, sea otters don't have a thick layer of blubber. To stay warm in chilly ocean waters, they wear the world's densest fur—at its thickest, this two-layer fur is made up of more than a million hairs per square inch. (You've probably got 100,000 hairs or less on your whole head!) In order to keep their luxurious coats waterproof, otters spend many hours a day cleaning and grooming. Such good grooming coats their fur with natural oils from their skin and fluffs it with insulating air bubbles.
In Monterey Bay
These charismatic critters are among the most easily observed marine mammals in the bay. They're often spotted floating and foraging among kelp forests along the outer coves and bays but can sometimes be seen off sandy beaches—and even local harbors. Sea otters are a frequent sight off the Aquarium's ocean-view decks and occasionally even pay a visit to our Great Tide Pool. They're also found in Elkhorn Slough.
Sea otters play an essential role in the health of Monterey Bay's kelp forest and estuary ecosystems. They eat sea urchins and other animals that graze on giant kelp, keeping them in check so the kelp forests can thrive and support a rich community of plants and animals. Similarly, sea otters keep estuary ecosystems healthy by eating crabs. This in turn allows sea slugs to thrive and eat algae that would otherwise coat and smother the eelgrass that fish need for food and shelter.
Sea otters once thrived from Baja California and around the Pacific Rim to Russia and Japan before fur hunters nearly exterminated them in the 1700s and 1800s. The California population has grown from a group of about 50 survivors off Big Sur in 1938 to nearly 3,000 animals today. Although their numbers have increased, sea otters still face serious risks: oil from a single tanker spill near San Francisco or off the Central Coast would threaten the entire California sea otter population. The center of the population's range—from Monterey Bay to south of the Big Sur coast—can't support higher numbers of sea otters, so they need to keep expanding their range to find new areas with abundant food. Bites from white sharks is a major threat to sea otters in this area.
The Aquarium partners with state, federal and academic researchers to study otters in the wild. The more we learn about sea otter behavior, biology and health, the better we can protect these threatened animals.
Learn about our work to save sea otters
Cool Facts
- An otter fuels its fast metabolism by eating up to a quarter of its weight in food a day. (A 150-pound person would have to eat 35 to 40 pounds of food a day to match that!)
- A sea otter may hunt on the seafloor, but always returns to the surface to eat. Floating there on its back, it uses its chest as a table. (And if dinner's a crab or clam, the otter may use a rock to crack open its prey.)
- An otter's coat has pockets—pouches of loose skin under each forearm. An otter uses them to stash prey during a dive, which leaves its paws free to hunt some more.
- Unlike the sea otters found in Alaska, sea otters on California's central coast don't eat fish.

What is the best way to add new custom blog settings to the Wordpress general settings (or some other settings page for that matter), such that these settings are available to the theme to use?
For example I would like simple settings like the Twitter URL and Facebook Page URL to be configurable, rather than hardcoded in the theme. It would be nice if I could then access them via the
bloginfo() function, but any other function will do just the same.

Has anyone else tried siggi's? I noticed it for the first time the other day and I was curious. I decided to go with the Pomegranate Passion Fruit. My jury is still out on this one… I like that it's sweetened with agave and hence not very sweet. There is a fruity tartness that seems to be more passion fruit than pomegranate. It is thick. Very, very thick. As with Greek yogurt, I'm shocked how a nonfat yogurt can be so thick. However, this Icelandic style is unfortunately lacking in the consistency department. A fork would be an option. Well maybe that's extreme, but it is really thick. A plus – this skyr (aka the traditional yogurt of Iceland) has 2-3 times the protein of standard yogurt. Pretty cool, but I would definitely take a little less protein and a little more creaminess.
Will Skyr follow the Greek variety and be the next yogurt craze? I don't think so, but it's quite interesting and worth a try!

My God, it's good to have the Chiefs/Raiders games mean something, isn't it? Especially when you compare it to the current state of the classic Packers/Cowboys showdown, where it looked like Green Bay starters against their taxi squad.
I don't give much truck to the KC/Oakland rivalry being "the best rivalry in football," which is a phrase that's somewhat fallen out of favor since the days Los Angeles had a team. Neither has been consistently good since the early 90s, and they haven't been able to put together fluke season at the same time. The twice-annual showdown hasn't really meant much since the QB matchup was Jeff Hostetler vs. Joe Montana.
But it was indeed a real rivalry, and we respect that. Oakland fans are easy to hate, so it was simple to pick a side. And Chiefs visits always got the fools in the Black Hole riled up, which made for good TV. But the last decade-plus has been ugly. Neither team has mattered, and the only stakes have been not finishing last in that division.
So it was great to see yesterday's game with the AFC West lead on the line. In Oakland, sold out, with both teams taking penalties right and left. (A combined 240 yards; most of it was for sloppiness rather than assault, but we'll take it.) And though it came down to a kicker, which would normally be a very unrivalrylike ending, at least it was a ne'er-do-well who made good.
And then we have the Cowboys. They looked damn good on paper to start this season, and anyone who says otherwise is no better than Captain Hindsight. So it's no surprise NBC would want them for their Sunday night game, especially against the team they dominated throughout the 90s en route to a dynasty.
Yes, this one dates back to the Ice Bowl. Maybe NBC should have popped in a tape of the Ice Bowl instead of whatever that was last night. Certainly not professional football.
What's wrong with the Cowboys, Jerry Jones? "I can't put my finger on it because I don't have enough fingers." What happens next, Jerry Jones? "There are a lot of people here who are certainly going to suffer and suffer consequences."
Translation: Wade Phillips is gone, but we're not going to let Jason Garrett try too hard and bumble his way out of landing Patrick Peterson.
But this is the NFL, where everything comes around. The Cowboys will one day get good again, just as the Packers and Chiefs and Raiders managed to do. And if Jerry Jones is lucky and has a little Al Davis in him, he'll live to see it.

Imagine a sensory encounter with the perfect mix of berry flavors. Fresh blueberry flavor native to Europe and North America, fruity pomegranate from Southwest Asia, and smooth açai from South America. Now imagine these blended with premium vodka. And served chilled over ice.
The launch of Absolut Citron in 1988 opened the segment of flavored vodkas in the U.S. Since then Absolut Vodka has been a pioneer within the category, and the first to venture into several new flavor segments.
Expressive and complex — Berri Açaí is a vodka with açaí, blueberry and pomegranate flavor, inspired by berries and fruits from around the world.
Like all Absolut products, Absolut Berri Açaí contains no sugar and uses only natural ingredients. The açaí, blueberry and pomegranate flavors are blended with vodka distilled from grain grown in the rich fields of southern Sweden. Mixed with club Soda, for instance, it conjures up a lazy summer afternoon, even in winter. Combined with simple syrup, lemon juice and a blueberry garnish, it leans in a fanciful direction. And when mixed with the dryness of cranberry juice and orange liqueur it becomes an exceptionally flirty and delicious Cosmopolitan.

The versatility of Absolut Berri Açaí inspires the creative imagination. This flavor is no different. Just as the berries mix well together, Absolut Berri Açaí mixes well with a wide range of fruit juices and Sodas. With the new flavor, Absolut hopes to inspire you to try out new things and explore the possibilities of drink mixing at home or when out with friends.

From the G20, to Occupy Toronto to Indigenous struggles, we have seen the way that the State uses the court system and criminal charges to divide our movements and drive our communities apart. The Movement Defence Committee is seeking to develop new resources to support community members and activists as they go through legal and court processes. We are soliciting feedback from individuals and groups about what kinds of supports, information and resources would assist with navigating the legal process and court system. If you have been targeted by the State or if you have provided support to others navigating criminal charges and court processes, we would like to hear from you about what kinds of resources, materials and other supports will assist you in this work.
Callout for Feedback & Input on Developing Court Support ResourcesSeptember 19, 2012 - 12:44am | by movementdefence
Upcoming deadline for potential G20-related legal actionJune 14, 2012 - 11:12am | by movementdefence
Reminder: if you have a potential claim or legal action against the police arising out of the G20, there is a two
year statute of limitations period which is quickly approaching. Generally speaking, any legal claims must be initiated within two years of the date upon which the acts complained of took place, otherwise the claim may be out of time.
We also write to let you know that we may have documentation and/or witnesses to assist you with your claim. If you are bringing a claim against police or other state agents arising out of the G20 events, please contact us to let us know. We had many legal observers on the streets documenting incidents, including arrests and police abuses, and with their permission, we may be able to put you in touch.
Finally, if you witnessed any police misconduct and abuses, please feel free to contact us to let us know so that we may put you in touch with potential claimants.
A Statement of Support for G20 Defendants from the Movement Defence Committee (MDC)November 28, 2011 - 4:28pm | by movementdefence
We write to express our ongoing support and solidarity for the G20 defendants. We support the decision of the G20 defendants to enter into a plea agreement with the Crown. We also wish to express our deep sadness and dismay that key community organizers will be serving potentially lengthy jail sentences.
As lawyers, law students and legal workers who work with and support social movements, we recognize that there may be limited opportunities for victories before the courts. Both historically and in the present, the legal system, including criminal charges against activists, have often been used as a tool to suppress social movements for progressive social change. The MDC opposes the use of conspiracy charges to this end. We believe that it is an important victory that no convictions or guilty pleas were obtained on the conspiracy charges laid against the G20 Defendants.
A Clarification from the Movement Defence Committee Respecting Claims in the Article "G20 Conspiracy Case: The Inside Story"November 28, 2011 - 12:11pm | by movementdefence
An article entitled "G20 Conspiracy Case: The Inside Story," published on CrimethInc.com at http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2011/11/24/g20-conspiracy-case-the-inside..., and also published on infoshop.org at http://infoshop.org/page/toronto-g20-conspiracy, has claimed that "cops in the MDC us(ed) information meant to help protestors with their legal defense against them." The article also states that information from the Movement Defence Committee (MDC), a working group of the Law Union of Ontario, was used against a specific G20 defendant.
These claims appear to be based on a misunderstanding of events and the MDC's organizational structure. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the distinction between the MDC itself, which has a closed membership, and the Legal Observer programs we run, which are open to the public.
LEGAL SUPPORT FOR OCCUPY TORONTOOctober 14, 2011 - 11:44pm | by movementdefence
The MDC is providing legal support on an ongiong basis for Occupy Toronto.
If you've been ARRESTED at Occupy Toronto or have witnessed an ARREST, please call 416-833-6137 or TTY: 416-619-0422.
If you receive a TICKET during Occupy Toronto, folow the instructions on the back of the tickets and choose the TRIAL OPTION. Feel free to send us an e-mail using the Contact Us page to report your ticket. If there is sufficient interest we will conduct a workshop on how to fight your ticket.
Stay tuned for for updates on continuing Legal Support.

Valid Cycles specializes in handcrafted bamboo bicycle frames. To be bike-ready, the bamboo must be cooked in an oven, stripped, and sealed. But after that, the founders of Valid Cycles say the bikes last as long as a metal one. We stopped by their shop—a barn in Woodinville, Washington—for a look at how the bikes are put together.

San Francisco Decorator Showhouse
These stand out rooms are filled with color schemes that inspire and innovations that solve problems
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 12
Design enthusiasts have been wowed with visual fanfare since 1977, when The San Francisco Decorator Showcase was launched. Since then, the prestigious showhouse has raised more than $11 million to benefit San Francisco University High School. Color schemes that inspire and innovations that solve problems--as in these stand-out rooms--emerge annually from both veteran designers and the region's new talent.
Produced by Heather Lobdell
In Decorating 101, we learn that a can of paint is the easiest route to noteworthy transformation. Marion Philpotts Miller and Jonathan Staub painted turquoise over the black frame of a stately Asian daybed in the showhouse guest room. The strong color offers a contrast to the space's earth-toned background, a natural-looking palette anchored by a faux-bark wallpaper.

Interior designer Jonathan Staub. Not pictured here is his partner in design for the guest room, Marion Philpotts Miller.
"The daybed added pop to an otherwise calm and ethereal space," says Miller. "I wanted not only something exotic but also something celebratory."
Intriguing architecture gave Suzanne Tucker a head start on this appealing dining room. She applied alluring neutrals to showcase the sunlight-flooded space. Subtle, hand-painted wallpaper was set between ceiling beams lightened to a warm, caramel tone. Whimsical dining chairs circle the round table, clothed in textured ivory silk and accented with amethyst glass.

"My imaginary client was a family, so I wanted a room that would function for multiple purposes--such as dining, resting in front of the window, or doing homework," says Tucker.
The magic of showhouse rooms is often undermined by sticker shock. Not so in this dining space, where designer Orlando Diaz-Azcuy kept to a tight budget but created the illusion of luxury. Mirrors and gold vinyl wallpaper set a sophisticated mood that begged for a graphic contrast. So Diaz-Azcuy chose a long, inexpensive white linen tablecloth topped with a black runner. Then he paraded a variety of porcelain pretties--all in white--down the runner. It makes a striking and fuss-free centerpiece that anchors the tabletop scheme. Black-and-white dinnerware pairs with mismatched purple water goblets. The spring-green pillows cushioning the backs of the dining chairs are a nod to the green peeking from the tablecloth's pleats that hang to the floor at the corners of the table.

"I think it's my obligation to show a new generation how to push the envelope, even when budgets are constrained," says Diaz-Azcuy. "I want to provide ideas without great expense or pretense."
Melanie Coddington teamed imaginative upholstery with mid-century modern furniture to design a lively blue-and-ivory living room. Tufted wing chairs are anything but stodgy with a treatment that stretched cream-colored velvet on the fronts and a silk damask on the sides and backs. Gently rounded and curvy shapes throughout the space provide enough visual oomph to eliminate the need for a lot of accessories that could create decorative clutter.

Worth staying up until 2:30am for
It was with a guild that usually raids at that hour and regularly takes on a few PuGs... not something I'd do usually, but I've had quite a few good runs with those guys and when the advertisement came up in Trade Chat for Professor/Sindy/LK, I decided to chance it :)
(We didn't have time to take on Arthas since we had more than a few wipes on Sindy, but still. One more Achievement to link to get into PuGs!)

"These guys know what they are doing. They tell it like it is and they give you all the tools to get it done. Im a part-time investor that needed some money on the side. Within a matter of a few months, they helped me do two deals that netted me over $16,500. Their coaching, mentoring and training gave me the confidence I needed to finally pull this trigger. I plan on doing 6-8 deals a year. I probably would still be thinking about doing real estate rather than doing real estate deals had I not been lucky enough to discover these guys. -Howard Cline, Columbus, Ohio
"Ive been through their training and in their system going on two years now. I knew very little about real estate and needed an education. I was skeptical of these out of state seminar services and really wanted to learn from some investors that knew Central Ohio. These guys know the area inside and out and this made a huge difference on how I approached doing my deals. Since I first met Steve and his team Ive now done over 18 deals! -Brook Dixon, Chillicothe, Ohio

This week, IUCN and the International Water Association (IWA) host an online consultation session on Infrastructure Solutions for the Water-Energy-Food Security Nexus. As part of the UN's 'The World We Want' initiative, the consultation platform allows everyone to have their say on development issues post 2015, from 11-17 March with a particular focus on water, energy and food.
"The Post2015 Consultation platform allows us to share ideas around the future of infrastructure in water-energy-food provision. These are important questions that the 'The World We Want' consultations allow to be raised. Solutions exist, for sure, but they are often spread across sectors. Now is the time to rely on inter-sectoral collaboration and sharing of ideas to help collect sustainable solutions for the future of water, energy, and food security", said James Dalton, Coordinator, Global Initiatives, IUCN Water Programme.
The post 2015 water consultation has so far highlighted the need for development goals centred around water. The close interaction between water, energy and food - the nexus – is certainly part of that thinking. For example, increasing irrigation for food production, reduces the water flow left for energy generation (hydropower) and natural ecosystems and the services they provide downstream (biodiversity). The three elements; water, energy and food, are all inextricably linked, and so is their security.
By 2050, to feed a global population of 9 billion people we will need 70% more food. To ensure needs are met, engineered infrastructure, including dams, embankments, and wastewater systems are needed, but also well functioning natural infrastructure, such as healthy rivers, wetlands and forested hill slopes.
Addressing the competing needs for the water, energy and food nexus means exploring opportunities to optimize water infrastructure and technology to help shape and achieve the Post 2015 Development agenda.
You can join the discussion by visiting the website www.worldwewant2015.org/water, you can also tweet ideas or solutions (#waterpost2015) and/or follow and post on Facebook (WaterPost2015)

Tiger Woods could still play in this week's US PGA Championship after his agent revealed it was "way too early" to make a decision on the 14-time major winner's back injury.
Woods became a doubt for the year's fourth major when he withdrew from the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational during Sunday's final round.
The 38-year-old looked in severe pain from his back after hitting his tee shot on the 494-yard ninth and was soon leaving the course, prompting questions over both his long and short-term future.
But Woods' agent Mark Steinberg confirmed on Monday night that a decision was yet to be made on his participation at Valhalla, although Tuesday's press conference, scheduled for 9.30am local time, was postponed.
"Way too early," Steinberg said in a text sent to reporters.
"He has to rest and get treatment and then assess later. Pointless to make that decision now without proper time to give him best chance.
"Nothing further today, maybe (not) even tomorrow."
Woods was playing just his third tournament since undergoing microdiscectomy surgery on 31 March when he withdrew in Ohio and has not won a major since the 2008 US Open.
He had previously spoken about being "pain-free" for the first time in two years, but said on Wednesday that other people who had undergone the same surgery "had no idea" how he was able to play again so quickly.
Should the current injury prove to be serious, Woods would be a major doubt for next month's Ryder Cup.
United States captain Tom Watson has already stressed that Woods does not merit a place on the team simply by being healthy enough to swing a club and admits his current problem could further damage his chances of selection.
"Tiger would be a great addition to our team," Watson told PGA Tour Radio.
"As I've said all along, I would pick Tiger Woods if he's healthy and playing well.
"This doesn't bode well right now.
"I just hope that maybe it's just an isolated problem that he can turn around and possibly play this week at the PGA."

JACKSON, Tenn.—After a tough 6-5 loss to the top West Division seed Trinity earlier today, the Birmingham-Southern softball team rebounded in the loser's bracket of the 2012 SCAC Softball Championship with a 6-2 win against Southwestern this evening.
The Panthers, the top seed in the East Division, move to 32-9, while the Pirates, the second seed in the West, fall to 26-18 to end the season.
BSC advances to the final day tomorrow, facing Trinity again at noon. The Panthers will need to beat the Tigers twice tomorrow to clinch the conference title. A loss in the first game will end the double-elimination tournament and give Trinity the championship.
In the loss to Trinity today, the Tigers were up 4-0 after two innings before a homerun from senior Ashley Bice in the bottom of the third finally put the Panthers on the board, 4-1.
BSC tied it up in the bottom of the fifth. A run scored on an error cut it to 4-2, and an RBI single from junior Brittany Berkopec and another run scored on an error knotted the score at 4-4.
A two-run homerun by Trinity in the top of the seventh put the Tigers back in the lead. The Panthers were able to score once in the bottom of the seventh, courtesy of an RBI from senior Ronni Ferris, but weren't able to overcome the deficit.
Freshman Erin Lopez went 3-3 at the plate for the Panthers, and Bice was 2-4. Freshman Bethany Fronk started in the circle and threw 1.2 innings, giving up six hits and four earned runs, and Ferris came in for the final 5.1 innings and took the loss, dropping to 12-5 on the year. She struck out six Tigers while allowing six hits and two earned runs.
In the nightcap, BSC met Southwestern for the second time in as many days after defeating the Pirates on Friday, 4-3. The teams traded runs in the third inning, with BSC's coming off an RBI single from Lopez. The Panthers scored four in the top of the fourth on an RBI single by Bice, a run scored on a passed ball, and a two-RBI double by Lopez.
The Pirates scored their final run in the bottom of the sixth to cut it to 5-2, but the Panthers added another run in the top of the seventh, this time on a ground-out RBI from junior Danielle Rucker. Southwestern went three up, three down in the bottom of the seventh, and BSC stayed alive with the 5-3 victory.
Lopez was 2-3 with three RBI, and junior Chelsea Fernandez was 2-4. Fronk started again and picked up the win this time, moving to 14-3 on the year. She gave up eight hits and two earned runs with one strikeout in 5.1 innings of work. Ferris came in for the last 1.2 and recorded three strikeouts while giving up one hit, and got her fourth save of the year.

TalkingEconomics: China's equity boom and bust
Immediate macroeconomic impact should be limited
Our view is that the real economy is still sufficiently disconnected from the equity market that the impact on growth should be limited to the effects felt by the financial firms involved and those wealthier households exposed to the bust.
Most firms are not reliant on the equity market for financing, and the People's Bank of China (PBoC) is capable of providing ample liquidity to keep credit markets going.
But while the impact of the crash itself may be manageable, our concerns centre on the implications of the government's response.
For a more in depth review of the global economy in August 2015 try:
TalkingEconomics: Eurozone political risk shifts to Iberia
TalkingEconomics: Global storm clouds lift
TalkingEconomics: Full August 2015 economic infographic
Financial stability risks
Attempting to reverse the slump in the markets, the government responded with a broad array of measures, including encouraging widespread equity purchasing by institutions such as the China Securities Financial Corporation and the sovereign wealth fund.
This has effectively spread the risk of a sustained equity downturn throughout the financial system. Another negative side effect is resource misallocation.
Specifically, bank credit is increasingly directed away from the credit market (and potentially economically productive uses) towards financing equity purchases.
This will further weaken the impact of credit growth on investment and GDP, at a time when all three metrics are struggling.
The rescue package has not yet led to the sustained rebound that was hoped for. We believe market participants have little faith in the government-sponsored rally, and that absent heavy intervention the market has not yet settled.
We expect further efforts from the government but we think this will ultimately prove to be an expensive mistake.

Religious right leader backs Russian crackdown on gay rights
The crackdown on gay rights on Russia is stunning in its scope, and offers a reminder that Russia "remains a country where discrimination and even violence against gay people are widely tolerated." But while much of the West has condemned Vladimir Putin's new efforts, the offensive is not without American backers.
Voice of Russia is the government's official international radio broadcasting service, and last week, it ran a report touting comments from the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer, a prominent leader of the religious right movement here in the U.S., who spoke to VOR at some length.
"Russia is not being homophobic, it's homorealistic – the Russian government is trying to take the issue into consideration and establish public policy to contribute to public health, as this lifestyle is not be promoted, endorsed or granted special legal protection", the expert said, warning of high health risks linked to this lifestyle.
He cites the Center for Disease Control that has monitored the HIV epidemic since 1987 and determined that 61% of HIV-positive males had sexual contacts with other males. "Homosexual behavior is just as risky as drug abuse," Fischer said.
"I think the Russian government is right to be concerned with propaganda on teenagers who are at the age of struggling through sexual identity issue and we should help to channel these urges in productive behavior. Heterosexuality is God's design. Policies that encourage young people to think this are good ideas."
The headline on the Voice of Russia report described Fischer as an "expert," which is an accurate label if you define "expert" as "unhinged radio activist on the laughed-at fringes of American society."
Note, Fischer's not the only one in the U.S. cheering Russia on. As we talked about a while back, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute said it "admires" Russia's anti-gay moves; Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality lauded Russia for rejecting "America's reckless and decadent promotion of gender confusion"; and the Illinois-based World Congress of Families has scheduled its 2014 conference for the Kremlin.
And then, of course, there's evangelical activist Scott Lively.
If Lively's name sounds familiar, it's probably because of his work in Uganda, where he brags he is known as the "father" of the anti-gay movements. When Uganda took up a "Kill the Gays" bill, proponents said it arose out of an anti-gay conference that Lively headlined in 2009. Earlier this year, the Washington Post reported that Lively has spent the last decade working "systematically to strip away human rights protections from LGBT people" around the world, becoming "a kind of persecution consultant, strategizing with influential leaders and cohorts in other countries about ways to further silence and remove LGBT people from basic protections of the law."
And wouldn't you know it, Lively conducted a 50-city speaking tour of Russia in 2007, where he recommended the very measures Russia is now pursuing. From an AP report last year:
"Russia could become a model pro-family society," he wrote. "If this were to occur, I believe people from the West would begin to emigrate to Russia in the same way that Russians used to emigrate to the United States and Europe." […]
"Russians, even after glasnost, are comfortable with an authoritarian style," he said. "That wouldn't work in the United States."
Let those quotes roll around in your mind for a moment. Lively thinks it's possible that Americans would emigrate to Russia because of its anti-gay policies, and he sounds a little disappointed that Americans aren't more accepting of Russia's authoritarian tendencies.

Former Alabama RB Dee Hart says he's headed to CSU, Rams not yet confirming
FORT COLLINS — Colorado State opens fall camp practices Monday, and Jim McElwain held his pre-camp news briefing Thursday morning. The biggest news with the program, though, was something McElwain couldn't discuss — the imminent addition of former Alabama running back Dee Hart, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Hart Wednesday confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that he is transferring to CSU for this season and said he was about to leave for Fort Collins.

Andersen finished the day with five goals (photo courtsey: Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard women's water polo team dropped both its games to two ranked opponents on the first day of the Harvard Invite. The Crimson was first edged by No. 20 Michigan, 16-10, before dropping its last game to No. 16 San Diego State, 12-8. Harvard is now 7-5 on the season.
Harvard and Michigan battled back and forth in the first frame, with the Big Blue holding a one-goal advantage at the end. In the second, Michigan built on its momentum, finding the back of the net four times and limited Harvard to just two scores.
In the third stanza, the Crimson played the Big Blue to an even three goals, while in the final eight minutes, Michigan buried three more goals to secure the win.
Yoshi Andersen and Shayna Price headlined the Crimson offense with three goals apiece, the duo has now notched six hat trick efforts this season. Charlotte Hendrix and Michelle Martinelli each added two scores. Price and Hendrix also dished out three helpers, while defensively Ariel Dukes tallied four steals and six saves.
Harvard came out strong in the second game, outscoring No. 16 San Diego State, 5-3 in the first frame. The Aztecs turned things around to limit Harvard to just three goals across the next three stanzas, while outscoring the Crimson.
Price and Andersen each buried two goals for Harvard, while Martinelli, Melissa Balding, Jelena Cyr and Jillian Dukes added one apiece. Ariel Dukes made 10 saves.
Harvard returns to action Sunday, March 9 at 1:00 p.m. to take on Marist before honoring the two graduating seniors at the final game of the weekend against Santa Clara at 3:30 p.m.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was back on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights on Saturday, two days after a wind-swept fire destroyed four blocks of the famous amusement pier.
Christie met privately with 30 of the more than 50 business owners who suffered losses in Thursday's fire, promising an aggressive response to haul away rubble from the fire and help again rebuild the boardwalk only just replaced after Superstorm Sandy.
Christie also greeted residents, many of whom thanked the governor for coming to the shore town that was still recovering from Sandy when disaster struck again.
U.S. & World
"I wouldn't be anyplace else,'' Christie said, having canceled a weekend getaway to Florida to celebrate his wife's birthday. "When a crisis happens you have to be here to help organize things, to lend encouragement and deliver help.''
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office confirmed reports of an overnight flare-up at the fire site and said it had been contained.
It took more than an hour for Christie to move one block as a crush of residents thanked him for his continued support, while others expressed sadness over the one-two punch from Sandy and the fire.
"We had two days to feel sad about this, and it is legitimately a sad thing. But we've got work to do now. A couple days to mourn, now we've got to move on and get back to work,'' Christie said.
Without offering specifics, Christie said his administration had already come up with several ways to help local business owners recoup their losses and rebuild.
He said he spoke with a few of them on Thursday, as they watched their businesses burn to the ground. Saturday was the first time he addressed them as a group.
The good news, if there is any, Christie said, is that the fire was contained before it engulfed the entire boardwalk.
"This could have been significantly worse. We have about four blocks that were taken out, and for those people on those four blocks, it's awful. But, we could have lost all of this,'' he said, gesturing to a portion of the boardwalk untouched by the flames.

When a self-confessed ignoramus who is apparently interested in learning about a particular topic goes out live on the air in order to be obnoxious to anyone who actually knows about that subject, you've got to ask yourself why she bothered in the first place. When you find out that the subject in question is the MMR vaccine, you've probably got your answer.
Surely there can be no topic that generates more ill-informed, hysterical nonsense than vaccines in general and MMR in particular? If there is, I don't think I want to know.
The Wakefield "controversy" is over, people, it's dead. There is nothing more to discuss; and if you think there is, it's because you've either not read or not understood the hundreds of scientifically-sound debunkings his work has received. His research was flawed, he broke every obvious - and quite a few non-obvious - ethical guideline in the process, and nobody except a couple of foaming-at-the-mouth media types who refused to lose face after publishing their scaremongering ever gave his story any credence once all the facts were in. If you insist on still believing it, you are not only ill-informed, you're an ill-informed dick; it's a scientific fact.
But still, STILL we have an irresponsible nitwit being allowed air-time to give members of the public the impression that there "must be something in it", that there's some sort of subjective truth about the efficacy and safety of the MMR vaccine that is different for you than it is for me, and that the Department of Health is there to scare people and bolster drug companies' profits.
Won't you think of the children, dammit? Their poor, tiny, baby bodies being filled full of CANCER-CAUSING POISONS?! Oh, the humanity.
Oh, the idiocy.
