VATICAN CITY - Senior Roman Catholic cardinals from the around the world defended Pope Francis on Monday against a spate of recent attacks from conservatives challenging his authority.
In an unusual move, nine cardinals in a group advising Francis on Vatican economic and structural reforms issued a statement expressing "full support for the pope's work" and guaranteeing "full backing for him and his teachings".
The statement was unusual in that the cardinals - from Italy, Chile, Austria, India, Germany, Congo, the United States, Australia and Honduras - customarily issue statements only at the end of their meetings, which are held four times a year.
The statement said the cardinals expressed their solidarity with the pope "in light of recent events," which Vatican sources said was a clear reference to the attacks.
On Feb. 4, mystery activists working under cover of dark plastered posters around Rome criticizing the pope for moves seen as targeting conservatives in Church.
They featured a picture of a stern-faced pontiff and the slogan: "Where's your mercy?" The posters accused Francis of several controversial acts, including what they called "the decapitation of the Knights of Malta."
This was a reference to an ancient Catholic order of knights which is now a worldwide charity. Its former grand master, or top leader, handed in his resignation after he and his main backer, American Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, lost a battle with the Vatican for control of the order.
Last week, a fake electronic edition of the Vatican daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, was sent anonymously to Vatican officials and journalists.
It poked fun at the pope for not having responded to a rare public challenge in November by four conservative cardinals, led by Burke, who accused him of sowing confusion on important moral issues such as homosexuality and divorce.
Cardinals are the highest-ranking Catholic prelates below the pope and those under 80 years old can vote in a conclave to elect his successor.
Burke has become a rallying point for conservatives who think the pope is taking the 1.2 billion member Church too far to the left and accuse him of showing more concern for social issues such as poverty and climate change than moral doctrine.
The cardinal was demoted from a senior Vatican position in 2014 and shunted to the post of chaplain to the Knights of Malta. On Jan 28, he was effectively sidelined from that post as well when the pope appointed a delegate to help run the order until a new grand master is elected. REUTERS

Rays Trade Shields & Davis, Build For Future
Rays' New Star (AP Photo)
As the Red Sox continue to overpay old role players, their colleagues in the AL East continue to make moves. Earlier in the off-season, the Toronto Blue Jays pulled off a blockbuster deal that transformed them into contenders. Now, the Tampa Bay Rays have a blockbuster deal of their own—
sending starters
James Shields
Wade Davis
to Kansas City in exchange for four players
. The centerpiece of the deal for Tampa is consensus minor league player of the year
Wil Myers
—who could break into the Rays lineup in 2013. Myers is a "can't miss" blue-chipper,
in the mold of
Bryce Harper
Mike Trout
. The deal may set the Rays back a little in 2013, but it positions them for a strong run in the 2014-2020 period. Meantime, the Red Sox still have holes to fill in the starting rotation and outfield—and possibly shortstop. Truck Day is just 56 days away.

Thanks DL, I'll see how it goes. The stain look isn't that bad and probably most people wouldn't notice. The funny thing was I began to think Chrono Cross was supposed to look like that until I noticed it on all my other games. Just curious as to why this is happening. In all other areas the PSX is working really well.

British athletes heading to Moscow for the World Championships next weekend are risking a similar fate to the absentee star sprinters Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay if they are taking dietary supplements, some of which may have been contaminated by products designed for body-builders.
There is a growing concern that substances used in body-building, where there is no official testing for performance-enhancing drugs, have infiltrated supplements taken by other athletes unaware of their illegality. Britain's former Olympic gold and silver medallist sprinter Darren Campbell is among those who accept that the claims made by Jamaica's Powell and American Gay that their failed tests were due to unknowingly taking contaminated substances given by their advisers may have some merit.
He believes that products which are intended for body-builders are increasingly available in over-the-counter or online supplements in a guise which makes them appear legitimate. "The biggest problem is some companies who make legal products for sports people also make illegal products for the body- building market. So what Powell and Gay are saying is quite feasible. I think there is a good chance they are telling the truth."
The 39-year-old Campbell, now a Sky TV presenter and sprint coach to newly promoted Premier League club Cardiff City, has inside knowledge of the supplement industry. For seven years he has run a sports nutrient business with John Williams, nutritionist to the Welsh rugby team and British Lions. They also supply dietary products to 18 Premier League football clubs and the world champion boxer Nathan Cleverly.
"We thoroughly test all the original ingredients, some of which may come from China and Europe, before they are blended and manufactured," Campbell says. "Then the finished product is again checked by a company in Cambridge who do the official tests for the sports organisations. The big companies like Maximuscle will get their products tested by them.
"The public need to understand the difference between performance-enhancing drugs and nutrient products. We only source our products from companies that do not make illegal substances but I suspect there are some that don't."
Campbell's belief that the use of contaminated supplements is a major problem is endorsed by the pole-vault legend Sergey Bubka, now a candidate for the presidency of the International Olympic Committee. The Ukrainian told The Independent on Sunday that his advice to athletes is: stop taking tablets. "The supplement industry has become a huge multi-million dollar business and the athletes are not protected. We advise and educate them but in the end it is their responsibility what goes into their bodies.
"There is enough information available to avoid this sort of thing, but the answer is simple: don't use them. Just take regular vitamins. A lot of these supplements are manufactured in the United States where there is no longer a requirement to provide clear information about what is contained in the tablet.
"When a small factory produces substances, they can include some medicines that contain steroids. They may try to wash them out but they do not clean very well and instead they contaminate. Who pays the price? The athlete."
Ian Musgrave, senior lecturer in pharmacology at the University of Adelaide, says that Powell's defence of "never knowingly" taking drugs is a "very real possibility" and that contamination is widespread. One report found 70 per cent of weight-loss supplements contained ingredients not listed on the label.
Powell's test revealed a synthetic stimulant, oxilofrine, used as a fat-burner which, as a natural product, is found in extracts of bitter orange. This was also the substance used by a number of positively tested British boxers, including the former WBA world middleweight champion Brian Magee, who served a six-month suspension. He escaped the customary two-year ban because he showed the substance was an unlabelled ingredient in a sports supplement designed for body-builders.
Michele Verroken, the former UK Sport anti-doping chief who now runs the advisory organisation Sporting Integrity, says the supplement controversy is not a new phenomenon. "If you think back to 1998-99 when we had all those nandrolone positives, it's exactly the same scenario," she says. "The supplement market remains unregulated to the same level you have with licensed medicine. The question is whether industry-led standards are as comprehensive as they need to be to prevent contamination which may be accidental or even deliberate."
Campbell, a vehement anti-drugs campaigner, says a time he spent away from athletics trying to make a career as a footballer was spurred by attempts by "certain individuals" to draw him into a drugs programme. Now he warns the goalposts have shifted, and that athletes are in danger of becoming unwitting victims of rogue manufacturers whose products may seriously harm their health. "These people don't care about the welfare of athletes. For them, it's just about making money."
Darren Campbell will present Game Changers, a new Saturday morning children's show live on Sky Sports from 17 August
The dope sheet
30 April 2013 Russia's European 800m champion Yelena Arzhakova banned for two years after her biological passport is deemed abnormal; the Olympic silver medal discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova is banned for 10 years for a second positive test.
13 June Jamaica's 400m runner Dominique Blake banned for six years after testing positive for banned substances on two separate occasions.
15 June Fellow Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown, the three-times Olympic gold medallist, is found to have tested positive for a banned diuretic in May.
14 July Sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson of Jamaica test positive for banned substances including oxilofrine and the American 4x100m Olympic silver medallist Tyson Gay for an unidentified substance. Reports also claim three other Jamaicans could be implicated.
15 July Another Jamaican, discus thrower Allison Randall, confirms that she will serve a ban for doping. Police in Italy search the hotel rooms of Powell and Simpson for drugs.
16 July Powell's manager, Paul Doyle, claims the sprinter had become reliant on substances given to him by his trainer.
17 July Powell and Simpson's trainer, Chris Xuereb, argues: "Although I suggested certain vitamins to these athletes, it is ultimately the athlete's responsibility to accept or reject my suggestion."
19 July Jamaican discus thrower Traves Smikle tests positive.
31 July Nine Turkish athletes are banned for two years for using anabolic steroids.

Some of the less enthused visitors to the Tate Modern might be relieved to stumble upon the haven of this pub, complete with bar and piano, as they make their way round the London art gallery.
But they will be in for a surprise – this traditional boozer is actually an art installation, celebrating the Tate's 10th anniversary. It is the work of the art collective Black Dogs, who hope to recreate the atmosphere of a typical Leeds pub.
Unfortunately for thirsty visitors, it does not sell alcohol. The "pub" is one of 70 art installations at Tate Modern, which is hosting "No Soul For Sale – A Festival of Independents".

Because things don't always work out the way you thought they would - both in life & in the kitchen...
Not as difficult as it seems (Tuesdays with Dorie BWJ: Summer Vegetable Tart)
1) Picking up clothes off the floor
2) Putting dishes in the dishwasher
3) Starting a load of laundry
4) Picking fly-away cereal off the floors
5) Closing cupboard doors
6) Making beds
7) Throwing away empty containers of milk instead of putting them back in the refrigerator
8) Taking out the trash
9) Picking up the mail at the post office
10) Shutting the back door when you go outside
We've been having lots of conversation in our house lately about the skill level required to handle some of the above noted tasks.
I have been doing my best to debate the relative simplicity required. My subjects are dubious as to my claims.
Hey - I have to at least try. After all, they will have to argue to these same points to their own children someday. I need to give them ammunition in making those arguments, right?
Now, I must note that this has not been a totally losing proposition. We have made progress in acquiring these skills - most notably this past year or two.
Oh, here is one more thing that is less difficult than it appears to be - this summer vegetable tart.
Here, sheets of phyllo dough were layered with clarified butter and pre-baked to form a shell. I opted to layer the bottom of the tart with a couple tablespoon of collard green pesto that had been hanging out in my freezer - compliments of last year's CSA bounty.
Mushrooms and zucchini (I think the recipe called for different veggies, but I opted to use what was already in the fridge) were lightly sauteed, tossed with crumbled goat cheese and thrown into the prepared shell.
The hardest part of this whole deal - separating the pieces of phyllo from each other and brushing them with butter. Man, that stuff is thin.
Served at room temperature, this paired beautifully with salad and grilled fish.
This definitely looks more difficult than it actually was.
Speaking of which, about that laundry...
Peace out.
This post participates in Tuesdays with Dorie - where a group of home cooks works their way through Baking with Julia: Savoring the Joys of Baking with America's Best Bakers.

We have the same conversation at my house! (Honestly, I'm the only one talking and listening, so I'm not sure it qualifies as a "conversation") Do you know it takes less than 2 minutes to unload the dishwasher? Go ahead, time it. And #4 is a non-issue when there are 3 dogs nosing about.
One question: how does one make collard green pesto? We always have an overabundance of it from the CSA. I'd love to know how to preserve some.Goodness, I hear you about the chores! The hardest part for me is not sweeping through the house and just doing everything myself...faster, better, without complaint. I have to really hold myself back and just steadfastly pause and point at what I would like cleaned up. You are right...if they don't see their messes now, how will they cope when they are older with families of their own!!
ReplyDeleteI had all the ingredients to make this and I have no idea what happened! Looks soooo good!
And if you make any headway with the list of chores please share the secret!
Mine just stare at me with blank faces when I mention anything one your list, you'd think I was talking astrophysics to them!

sorry ron, i didnt explain exactly what is was i am ranting about. the this is there was a big black fly in my can of redbull, and its not like the can was open for a while, i was in the store waiting in lineot pay and opened up the can to find a big gross black fly, so we called redbull, (we meaning me and the store owner) they picked up the can, flew it to austria for a two week invetigation, and finished with the result of" hmm, this is not our fault, it is literally impossible for this to happen, the can must have been contaminated after leaving the production facilities" now what the worl was the point of running a two week investigation when something is literally impossible. then having the nerve to ask me to;"refrian from talking about it", not even apologizing, and i have made great efforts to get in touch with someone higher up in the company but the office manager refuses to let this get passed her control. now, i just want to start playing all these little games back. if they are going to treat me like dirt, i will let be public. i have letters and emails, of how they deal with things....crappy for them. anyway, i was hesitant to be specific because i am not to sure what i can post on the board. due to the zero tolerance. anyway thanks and if you have any ideas...please start typing.

Striking preemptively
Talk about public indecency! The McCain campaign released an Internet ad today that said McCain won the debate -" hands down" Let's see. the debate isn't until...um....tonight. Oh, I see. It was a preemptive strike. Right? No, I don't see. Still not used to the weirdly erratic elements in this campaign.

on ishmael and islamReader comment on item: The Evil Isn't Islam Submitted by leah (United States), Sep 20, 2006 at 21:48 All it says is that Ishmael will be wild, which is not necessarily a negative world. It is unclear whether he will be shown hostility, do hostility towards others, or some combination. However, G-d says he will protect Ishmael; his tone towards Abraham here is reassuring. The verse you quoted could be interpreted many ways. He is reassuring Avraham that ishmael will be kept safe and become a great nation, " for he isyour seed." It seems supportive of Ishmel and Abraham b/c Yishmael is Abraham's son. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.

Once it sunk in that the Ravens had won in Denver, overcoming all of what they had to overcome (six days prep & travel, Bronco's bye, altitude challenge, 87 defensive plays against Indy, Peyton's streaks (2), etc.) while beating the best team in the NFL, it became clear that this team was headed for New Orleans. I have not been THAT confident since the last time the Ravens had finished off the Broncos in the postseason - 12 years ago.
Any attentive Raven fan who has witnessed the last six meetings against New England (since 2007, including the playoffs) has to come to only one conclusion. The Ravens could have and should have won all six games. The Ravens had multiple opportunities to take command in the second half of last January's AFC title game BEFORE Lee Evans' missed reception and Cundiff's missed kick. Flacco missed a wide-open Vonta Leach on a roll out for an easy TD (shortly after Brady's turnover following a go-ahead Ravens TD which made it 17-16 us; settled on an FG which made it 20-16). Later on, Ray Lewis on a subsequent 4th down, goal-line stand didn't guard against Brady's easy over-the-top QB sneak which made it 23-20 them. You can be sure those kind mistakes won't be repeated this time.
Ray Lewis' retirement announcement came at the absolutely perfect time. It has been a TOTAL team effort since then. The Ravens are clearly the most motivated team out there right now. They were already a talented, well-coached team beforehand. But now they are on a mission, doing everything it takes - big things and little things - to win. Overcoming all obstacles - internal and external. There is no quit in them.
I cannot comprehend the current point spread; makes no sense.

What to Do When ADD Adults Can't Get MotivatedAt work, I'm quickly overwhelmed by mundane tasks and, more often, fear of unknown outcomes. To overcome feeling stuck, I rely on listening to loud music to stay focused and use to-do lists and complete small tasks as ways to help me stay focused and feel productive, even when I'm moving at a slow ADHD pace.
Everybody procrastinates, but because I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), I have a propensity to put off the inevitable and necessary far more than the average person. I do this for a variety of reasons, but the two most obvious are boredom and fear. The former has become terribly fashionable because it gives us a face-saving out: The ADD/ADHD mind works too quickly to be...

How I (Try to) Avoid Being Jealous of My Non-ADHD Peers at WorkInstead of feeling jealous of others' professional successes, I've learned that acknowledging my own weaknesses and relying on other people's strengths can help me get ahead at work -- and in life.
If you don't have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), you probably think that the hallmarks of the condition are lateness, inattention, and impulsiveness. But if you live with the condition, you probably focus more on the frustration. In my case, it was always a seething sense of impotence and rage arising from a simple reality: I could never seem to actualize my intentions. And because I...

I haven't blogged in so long, I feel the need to reintroduce myself.
Hi, my name is Michael Laskoff. I'm a 43-year-old entrepreneur and CEO of a small company called AbilTo. Four years ago, I learned what others had long suspected: I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) -- always did, always will.

ADHD Frustration: How Do You Handle It?Trying to stay optimistic, I sometimes downplay the challenges that come with attention deficit. The truth is that some days, I hate my ADHD. But I never let it beat me.
For a variety of reasons, I'm in a position to speak openly about my experiences as an adult with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). I run a business and therefore don't have to worry about the stigma that many ADD/ADHD adults rightly fear. And because I want to help and encourage others, I have a tendency to do something unfortunate. I tend to speak about the...

Making Peace With Adult ADD Diagnosis, SymptomsIf you've long dealt with frustrating symptoms, an adult ADD/ADHD diagnosis can be empowering. But when improvement seems impossible, inconsistent, or gradual, how do you stay motivated about treatment?
Knowledge is power, which is why I felt positively super-heroic when my attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) was first diagnosed. I was 39 already, tired of struggling against forces that I didn't understand, and entirely ready for actionable alternatives. My diagnosis led to exciting treatment options -- medication, behavioral therapy, and codification of useful behaviors -- for relief and betterment. As I brought these approaches to...

ADD Adults, Beware the New Year's ResolutionNew Year's resolutions are not a magic bullet -- if anything, they cause you to focus on failures. Rather than dwell on the negative, celebrate smaller achievements this year.
I was once at a conference at which a television producer discussed the basic premise of the sitcom. Simply put, likeable characters experience struggles in amusing ways and fail to learn from them. Different as one show's premise may be from another, the characters all share one trait -- predictability. They are doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again.

I run a company, but I have not overcome attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). I cannot; the condition is incurable, with me for life.

How ADHD Assets Can Become Workplace LiabilitiesIf left unchecked, positive adult ADD/ADHD traits, such as creativity, high-energy work productivity, and honesty, could backfire on the job.

Project will cover National Mall with bones to raise awareness of genocide
WASHINGTON — Thousands of volunteers dressed in white will lay a million papier mache, clay or plaster "bones" on the National Mall on Saturday morning to call attention to genocides and mass atrocities around the world. Organizers of the project, who have been collecting handcrafted bones from around the country for the past three years, call the three-day art installation a "collaborative site of conscience to honor victims and survivors." They also say it will serve as a "visual petition against ongoing conflicts" in places like Sudan, Somalia and Burma in addition to being a call for action.
One Million Bones is an Albuquerque, N.M.-based social arts practice — a medium for artists in which the experience of participating is part of the art. A lot of the bones were made by children, says Naomi Natale, an installation artist and photographer who founded One Million Bones in 2009. They "were called upon to build a mass grave as a reminder of this promise we made of 'never again' that we failed to deliver on. I hope that it will be a powerful statement to all of us of the importance of these issues."
Natale says she got the idea in 2004 after reading the book "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families," an account of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Two years earlier, she'd worked on "The Cradle Project,"an installation art project featuring handmade cradles from around the world to call attention to children orphaned from disease and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. "I came to understand how powerful art was as a tool to bring these issues that are very far away close to home emotionally," she says.
The bones were fashioned over the past three years through grass-roots outreach efforts and "bone-making events," says Kathleen McEuen, a national organizer. "Volunteers would go into different schools and talk about issues to age-appropriate levels." Groups made bones, stored them and laid them locally. There were 35 smaller-scale installations in 34 state capitals in the past few years. Preview installations of 50,000 bones occurred in Albuquerque in 2011 and last year in New Orleans.
Bones for the Washington installation were shipped to the New Mexico headquarters and other hubs around the country. UPS transported the bones to the Washington area freight locations where they were stored. Boxes comprising 16 sections of 62,500 bones were delivered to the Mall Thursday morning. Volunteers from around the country will begin laying them down starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, McEuen says. The schedule, which includes speakers, workshops and meetings on Capitol Hill, concludes with a reclaiming of the bones Monday afternoon.
Natale says she initially didn't realize the power of the bones project as an educational tool. "I didn't realize how many adults didn't understand what genocide was, let alone that it's happening today." The subject matter can be "paralyzing and overwhelming," Natale says, but the "act of crafting a bone becomes very important because it's an action. With an issue this intense, it's so important that there's an action at the end."


text: This week has been really good to me. The Husband surprised me with this, my friend confirmed she's moving back to town and I won the Young House Love giveaway! We also finally got around to hanging our mirror in the dining room and the man cave was cleared out for an upcoming project. It may or may not involve chalkboard paint and used new furniture. I think the animals are going to have to pick up some paintbrushes and make themselves more useful this time around. The Husband's patience with my painting projects is wearing thin.

[author: J. Wylie Donald]
We were in New York City today at a conference, Cooling on Climate Change: Designing the Message, sponsored by the Urban Green Council. The conundrum to be unlocked was: how come something as serious as climate change doesn't have politicians and the public standing in line to solve the problem? The answer is obvious to trial lawyers: even with the most compelling facts, if you don't have the jury emotionally, the result is likely to come out wrong. Similarly, and the point of this article, clients may be very concerned about certain effects caused by climate change, but if the effects are wrapped in the gospel of climate change, you may be ineffective in communicating your ability to serve them.
Opening the conference was Jim Hansen. His credentials as one of the first scientists to sound the alarm and his dogged advocacy (even in the face of some heavy-handed muzzling by the second Bush administration) make him an advocate emeritus in some climate change circles. Dr. Hansen noted that there is a huge gap between what scientists know and what the public knows. There can be no dispute that the planet has warmed 0.6 degrees (C) in the last 30 years; that recent extreme summer heat events have covered 10% of the earth's land area, where previously it was only .2%; that Arctic summer sea ice is reduced in extent by 50% and that the incidence of wildfires has increased 30-fold in the last 30 years. He concludes that the fossil fuel industry is subsidized in that it does not pay for all the costs associated with the use of fossil fuels. He proposed a fee and dividend system where all fossil fuel producers are taxed at the production site and the tax is rebated directly to every citizen; the government would not keep a penny. His system is transparent, market-based, stimulates innovation, does not enlarge government and leaves energy decisions to individuals. He described his plan as conservative. We think some will differ on that, perhaps because his compelling facts do not (as we will explain) compel.
Next up was Elliott Diringer, of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (formerly the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, which was characterized by the University of Pennsylvania as the world's leading environmental think tank). After explaining the fundamental characteristics of the climate issue (among other things, it cannot be solved by one nation; most severe impacts are not here and not now; and the precise impacts and costs of action or inaction are not known), he noted the messages of both sides. Those wishing to take action highlight the risks of inaction and promote the benefits of taking action such as "green" jobs, improved American competitiveness and national security, improvement in public health and intergenerational fairness. Those opposed to action have discredited the science as politicized. They exploit the uncertainties in the science and the uncertainty of future benefits. They argue for fairness as China and India are not limiting their emissions and hold up the spectre of a world government and threats to national sovereignty. After discussing the role of scientists in communicating the climate change message (he advocates for trusted non-scientist validators) and criticizing the media for always seeking "balance" when objectively there is no debate on many climate change topics, he came up with six "messages to the middle":
1. Climate Change is here and now. 2. The costs of climate change are here and now and are growing. 3. Prudent risk management requires both mitigation and adaptation. 4. The upfront costs are sensible investments. 5. Acting now can have real benefits for public health and energy security. 6. The transition to a low-carbon economy is an economic opportunity.
Lisa Fernandez of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication spoke next. She offered the statistics on public perception of climate change. Since 2006 polling shows a sixteen point decline in the public's belief that climate change is happening. Public support for addressing climate change was highest in 2006, the time of An Inconvenient Truth, the IPCC's continuing work and a robust economy. Moving forward four years to 2010, the economy had tanked, "ClimateGate" had occurred and the vaunted Copenhagen summit had failed to deliver. Ms. Fernandez noted the perception that there is a lot of disagreement among scientists -- even though there is no debate among the majority of scientists. There is a 98% consensus among scientists that climate change is happening and is in part anthropogenic. She stated that research shows that in order for people to support action they need to be convinced that climate change is real, needs action, is solvable and is caused by humankind. She concluded, however, that knowledge is necessary but not sufficient. A striking statistic was that the proportion of respondents denying or dismissing climate change rose from 7% in 2006 to 26% in 2010. Ms. Fernandez closed with more surveys on the need to tailor any message; one size certainly does not fit all.
All of which set the table for David Ropeik, an expert on risk perception, communication and management. Mr. Ropeik laid it out quite simply. There are multiple features of thinking that determine how we perceive risk. Most of these are in the subconscious. From the most basic neural pathways (responding to fear is hardwired into our brains) to our need to belong to our community to mental shortcuts that "fill in the blanks", each and all of these stand in the way of a rational response. Until we understand that, we can have all the facts in the universe and may still fail to take action or even deny that action needs to be taken.
That you are reading this article demonstrates the validity of Mr. Ropeik's approach. Our title is something a sideshow barker might announce, triggering your preconceptions, hopes, and curiosity. Maybe you had some views about the veracity or utility of the author's perspectives. One thing you certainly did not have was any factual information about what the article would contain. But here you are anyway looking for what to "do" to get more climate change clients.
Maybe the right way to sell climate change services is not even to mention climate change. A speaker on the second panel, Daniel Probst of property manager Jones Lang Lasalle, completely agrees. His clients are doing many of the things advocates for climate change action support but their incentive is not to save the planet. They are improving the environmental performance of their buildings (the source of 40% of US CO2 emissions) because doing so saves them money, allows them to charge higher rents, reduces turnover, improves employee productivity and makes permitting easier. Approaching clients on those topics unloads the controversy associated with climate change. For some, that is exactly what will be needed to close the sale. But for others, they will want the big picture and will value the "marketing to the middle" promoted by Mr. Diringer. Neither approach will be right all of the time, but all of the time is not the metric.

The Swedish international says that the Italian club will always have a special place in his heart and hopes that they return to winning ways after a disastrous campaign so far
The Swedish international joined Carlo Ancelotti's big-spending project in a deal worth an estimated €20 million [£16m] over the summer, which looked to have ended his time at Milan once and for all.
However, in an interview with a newspaper in his homeland, Ibrahimovic refused to rule out a return to the club.
"I want the best for Milan, I was very happy there, I felt at home," he told Aftonbladet.
"Milan is a club where I would go, if I could choose today. Usually I do not go back to an old team, but I would like to return to Milan.
"It's a fantastic club. I hope the team does well and returns to success, I can only hope that everything works out for the best.
"If Milan need help then they know where to find me."
