Dingell: Climate bill's chances in 2008 "verge on impossible"
E&E News (subs. req'd) has a good article on the prospects for climate legislation in an election year — note at the end that House Republicans are going to oppose any serious, mandatory action:
Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) sees this year's wide-open presidential election campaign as presenting a significant hurdle that could stymie passage of a global warming bill during this session of Congress.
"It's going to verge on impossible," the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee said yesterday in an exclusive interview. "We haven't calculated the number of days that exist here for the drafting of legislation, but it's not very many. And so the writing of the legislation is going to be difficult. And the presidential election is going to be a tremendous distraction. As will be the elections of all the members."
Dingell said he had his doubts about whether the Senate will be successful in adopting a bill this year from Connecticut independent Joe Lieberman and Virginia Republican John Warner. Senate Democratic leaders say they hope to bring the bill up before the summer, but Dingell was
"There's a big difference between saying, 'We want to try,' and, 'We're going to,'" he said.
The Capitol Hill debate over mandatory limits on heat-trapping greenhouse gases has largely been focused on the Senate. There, Democrats need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster expected from Oklahoma Republican Jim Inhofe. An E&E Daily analysis published earlier this week found that Democrats are within sight of 60.
But Dingell predicted it won't be so easy.
"It might be helpful if it happens," he said. "But I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you."
State pre-emption on the table
In the interview, Dingell didn't offer many specifics on the legislation he plans to draft this year establishing a cap-and-trade program as the lead U.S. policy on climate change.
Asked if the measure he plans on writing would include a provision that nixes several states' climate laws in deference to a uniform federal standard, the longest-serving House member cited the federal government's constitutional authority for regulating interstate commerce.
"It has served this country very well," he said. "We're one of the most successful economies in the history of the world. So much so that the Europeans have recognized this is the way to go. Now we seem to be trying to reverse our success. It doesn't seem to be like good judgment to me. So we're going to keep those thoughts in mind as we write the legislation."
Key Democratic leaders from states with strong new climate laws will resist Dingell here, including California's Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, and Barbara Boxer, the chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. California has one law that would force greenhouse gas emission reductions of 25 percent by 2020. Another imposes a roughly 40.5 mile per gallon fuel economy standard by 2016 for most cars and trucks.
"Her position there is clear," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said yesterday on the issue of state pre-emption.
Dingell's broader comments on the prospects for climate legislation come as House Democratic leaders plant the issue atop their agenda at the start of a second year in power in Washington.
For now, those leaders appear willing to leave the bill to Dingell's control. There are no deadlines — a different strategy than in 2007 when Pelosi said she wanted to see energy and climate legislation
adopted by more than a dozen House committees before the July 4 recess.
"It remains a priority for the speaker and she wants to move it as quickly as it can," Hammill said. Asked if Pelosi would be willing to wait until 2009, he replied, "That's a big hypothetical question. She said she wants to get a bill this year."
Dingell said he prefers working without time constraints.
"I've told the speaker that deadlines are usually counterproductive," he said. "We will do our best to get the bill done as fast as we can. People ask me, 'Dingell,' they say, 'when are you going to write this bill?' I say, 'Just as fast as we can.'"
Another key Democrat in the climate debate said yesterday that he remains committed to passing a bill in the House, conferencing it with the Senate and then getting President Bush to sign it.
"That's what we've said consistently over the last year and that's what we're saying again today," Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), the chairman of the House Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee, told reporters. "But in terms of a precise week or month when we'll take a precise step, at the
moment I can't give you that."
Boucher also rejected the notion that with a sluggish U.S. economy, it is not a good time politically for Democrats to move a major piece of environmental legislation. "Absolutely not," he said. "If we construct this properly, this program is not going to impose a net cost, it's going to create a net economic benefit."
The subcommittee chairman maintained that a cap-and-trade bill would create thousands of jobs around the country, sparking the "next major technology boom."
"The sooner we put a price on carbon, the sooner the emitting sectors of the U.S. economy will begin to develop low emitting technologies, those technologies will be put in place in the United States, and American innovation leading to the creation of those technologies will create one
of the largest export economies this country has ever had," Boucher said.
GOP doubts
Republicans on Dingell and Boucher's committee have a different impression on climate legislation.
"I do think global warming is a real issue," said Texas Rep. Joe Barton, the ranking Republican on the full committee. "I do think that to the extent we can do things that make economic sense and environmental sense, we should try to move forward. But I do not believe that we should like lemmings just jump off the cliff in the name of political correctness."
Barton also repeated his concerns about the science linking man-made emissions to climate change. "There are a large number of skeptics still out there about what causes global warming and what mankind can do about it," he said. "I hope some of your hearings this spring touch on that."
Democratic efforts to achieve a bipartisan agreement took a hit when the newest GOP leader on the subcommittee put his cards on the table.
"While I feel strongly that addressing climate change is certainly important, I believe we must address this through a global, voluntary framework that focuses on innovations in technology rather than a pure government mandate," said Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, the new ranking
member of the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee.
Upton replaced former House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois this year as the senior Republican on the panel. During last year's global warming debate, Hastert's efforts and comments raised some Democrats' hopes that he would support a bipartisan agreement on curbing U.S. emissions.
But Hastert resigned from Congress late last year, leaving an opening for Upton, an 11-term lawmaker from Michigan's southwestern corner.
In his opening statement, Upton poured cold water on the prospect that Democrats will get help from the top of the Republican roster.
"At the end of the day, we'll need to demonstrate that the price paid in both jobs and dollars equates to some tangible environmental benefits to the American people," Upton said. "In my view, spending trillions of dollars and losing a countless number of jobs, to maybe alter temperatures by a tenth of a degree while China and India continue to spew emissions, is not the option that we're looking for."
While committee leaders are seeking bipartisan agreement on the controversial bill, it wouldn't necessarily be required to pass the measure out of the full Energy and Commerce panel, where Democrats have a five-seat majority.
Even so, the early signs may foretell what lies ahead for the committee.
"If you start seeing problems immediately at the subcommittee level, with a lot of obstruction and procedural stuff, and that carries into the full committee, nothing will get done," Rep. Charles Gonzales (D-Texas), a key swing-vote member on the Energy and Commerce Committee from San Antonio, said in an interview. "That's not fair. But that's the reality."

It's good that nothing long term passes this year anyway. It wouldn't be any good if it was signed by this president. The best thing would be something that might be short term and let the next president decide what the global warming bill will be.
This points out the inefficiency of looking to politicians for solutions.
Of course Bush will not sign a useful law so the goal is to put bills on his desk and let him veto them. That will generate scrutiny and require all in Congress to go on the record The large turnout of young people in early primaries bodes well for the future.
Paul K.,
I agree with your point of not looking for politicians for solutions as a general idea. But I'm a freethinker, not religious thinker. I go for all reasonable solutions, I'm not hooked on only one way of doing something.
Politicians are wind vanes, they will point the way the wind is blowing and it's the peoples job to blow hard enough.
Politics is a way of solving some problems. The private sector is a way of solving some problems. Both can also be used, sometimes even coordinated, for better results.
Bush will not sign or veto a useful law because none will reach his desk. It is the people, not the government, who have to power to reach the real goal which is replacing fossil fuel. Even with a different administration, it will be 2010 before the government does anything meaningful. Congress will still be sharply divided. Whatever does pass will likely be less than what is needed, costly and open to waste fraud and abuse.
Pauk K.
If you are putting your faith in the people
[It is the people, not the government, who have to power to reach the real goal which is replacing fossil fuel. ]
you are not facing reality. Have you noticed national electric and gasoline demand dropping in the recent past.? And, are you counting on Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, Russian, Japanese and Indonesian people to replace their fossil fuel use?
Global warming is real and requires real commitments from nations and imposed on the people. People are focused on paying their bills, morgages and consuming goods and services.
How do you propose that the people coordinate their efforts? That's what the government is for. You seem to be advocating…anarchism. Here in California the government does plenty of useful things in this regard….government can and does work…
Government can be improved and made more responsive but editing it out of the solution is…naive and foolish.
Your brain has been filled with claptrap about the virtues of a lack of government.
I look to the people not as a matter of faith, but of necessity. The current solutions discussion is mainly a debate of government versus the private sector. Both have a roll to play. Neither is fully adequate to the task. Anonymous looks to government to impose a solution. This suggests the people belong to the government. They do not. Government, at least in America, is of by and for the people. The private sector is also of by and for the people as, in most cases, markets are driven by consumers.
Before going on, let me propose a change in how we approach the problem. Those concerned about global warming focus on reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. This seems reasonable as CO2 is seen as the cause. I suggest we make the focus replacing fossil fuels as our source of energy and power. This is not mere semantics. Most of the various schemes focused on CO2 are designed to force the private sector to compliance through penalty and taxation. Some solutions like sequestration do not reduce CO2, only store it somewhere until it escapes. Resistance to these schemes is well documented in the often frustrated posts by Joe here at climate progress. The focus on CO2 requires broad agreement on targets, methods and on AGW itself. On the other hand, simply replacing fossil fuels is a more direct approach with greater political feasibility. It is, ultimately, the aim of those focusing on CO2 and has the happy benefit of being the best – really the only, along with increased efficiencies – way to eliminate GHG emissions. More importantly, it is an approach everyone, including those so-called deniers and delayers can support.
I will leave the analysis of what government and the private sector can accomplish to another time. Michael asks the important question. How do I propose that the people coordinate their efforts? We have in this country a wonderful tradition of positive action through voluntary association. I wish to tap into that. We currently use fossil fuels for transportation, manufacturing, electrical generation and the heating and cooling of homes and buildings. It is frustrating because, as Joe says, technological alternatives already exist or are in the near pipeline. The problem is these technologies have not been widely applied. The biggest impediment, especially in the areas of generation and heating and cooling, is the high initial cost compared to savings over time. The consumer is simply unable to exert the usual pressures on supply and price as in other markets. There are two ways out of this dilemma – artificially raise the price of fossil fuels to make alternatives competitive or find a way to reduce the cost to the consumer. I believe the second is far more effective and is possible through action via the voluntary association of the people. I wish I could be more specific in answering Michael's question. My thoughts on this are at an early stage. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts others may have either supportive or challenging to help me come up with something more concrete.
Paul K.
You said [Anonymous looks to government to impose a solution.]
I am Anonymous but not your antagonist. I want to see my grandchildren functioning in a world economy that leveled its CO2 emissions to 450 ppm.
Your last comments still falls into the 'wishing' category and are not easily discussed in this thread because Joe has to move on with new topics and you and I are left to dredge up this archive and others may never look for or find it.
Yes, government is not some grey box. It is the collective command of all citizens but we individuals have many serious concerns competing for our focus and financial commitment. Monthly bills and daily expenses are overtaking an increasing number of us Americans and the future is beginning to look uglier. So, we may have to rely more upon government to hand down edicts and commands because, on an individual basis, including families and communities, our priorities might soon shift from the future to the here and now.
The Lieberman-Warner bill could accomplish more CO2 reductions in its first year than any national public-individual (voluntary) campaign will in a decade.
And, just a reminder; coal, gas and oil fired electric generation comprises a bit more than 70 percent of the US electric energy infrastructure. A 3.5 MW wind tower weighs about 363 tons and much of that weight is derived from energy intensive steel foundaries and petrochemical compounds. How will we substitute the near-700,000 MW of fossil fired capacity without rolling out a hellish amount of CO2 to manufacture and erect even a small fraction of alternative power sources?
Closing nukes and opposing new starts will add to the CO2 increase when that power source is shifted to wind (or solar).
I too am desparate to imagine and demand something more concrete. But I have to begin from a place of hard reality and not conjecture.
John L. McCormick
Paul K.,
You said your thinking on this is at an early stage. Might I suggest you read the book, 'Hell or High Water' that I think has been mentioned on this website. The engineering and politics are spot on correct.
You talk about volunteering, another book I would recommend is 'Ignition.' It's a new book, I read it 2 weeks ago and it does talk about what type of organizing that needs to be done to make the changes in peoples thinking you are alluding to. It was in paperback, so maybe not that new, but definitely in print and maybe in your library as it was in mine.
One thing you have to remember is we can't get away from the important role that government plays to reduce CO2. Government makes the rules of the economic game and like any game, that has an enormous influence in how it is played.
You in another thread wrote that it was technology that solved the smog from cars problem. Actually that's not true, all the technology in the world wouldn't have solved the problem if the government hadn't mandated that it be used in all cars. It may have been possible to have people ask for it, but in a city of a million cars, I might conclude that my 1 out of a million contribution is not enough for me to spend the money for an expensive accessory like smog control and thousands of other people would agree with me. The fewer people who ask for the smog control devices cost, the greater the cost, the fewer people will buy it. Force everyone to have the smog devices, the costs of development and installation is spread along to everybody.
You also wrote that we should work towards making non carbon fuels cheaper, but if you have read many of the articles on this website addressing just that, you would see that that is just not going to happen. It would be a nice thing to have happen, but any new non carbon technologies and products just cost more. It's more expensive to collect wind or solar for use than to burn a concentrated form of energy in fossil fuels.
I will concur with Ronald and others above.
You are not using Occam's Razor in your pleas for "anything but government" to solve these issues. You are asking us to enter into a massive experiment in social organization that runs orthogonal to the common concerns of most people reading this blog about the future of the planet.
More democracy is good, a more active citizenry is good. But that doesn't take government out of the picture. There has been a lot of hooey circulating in our public sphere in the last few decades about "wouldn't it be better" if we have less government. This was often just a cover for greedy people who wanted more money and didn't like taxes.
You are asking us all to bend over backwards because of a particular "government-phobia" that you have. This is self-indulgent and sophomoric.
The question is not "whether" government but "how" government. Not "whether" regulation but "how" regulation. The distraction that your type of argument has created has only led to the continuation of corrupt forms of regulation and subsidy of the oil industry and more no-bid military contracts. Instead we should be asking "how" the government regulates the economy, including in the energy sector.
Thanks all,
Michael, I think you have me confused with Ron. The words "anything but government" or anything like them have never appeared in any comment here or in my thoughts. The word that best describes my thoughts so far is association. I ask the same question as Michael. How do the people coordinate their efforts? I began a short time ago investigating how to form an association whose purpose will be to fund the installation of solar panels, photo voltaic cells and small wind turbines. In doing so, I have found there are all sorts of ways people are coming together to replace fossil fuels. This was very heartening. It is sometimes easier to have confidence in an idea when you see others have the same one.
To me, the best vehicle for the type of association I envision is a 501C(3). Its creation involves careful structuring, an investment of time and money, and government approval.
I am not anti – government. Here's a pro government proposal. Starting with next year's budget – better yet amend this year's – maximize fossil fuel replacement in all government purchasing.
What a awesome find! I'm glad I found this.

press release
Any company looking to succeed in the electric vehicle market needs a competitive aftersales concept. For this reason, from July 2012 to July 2015, part of the DINA project was devoted to drawing up standards for the diagnosis and repair of high-voltage systems in electric vehicles and to researching suitable measurement methods. Consortium members also created an integrated diagnostic system to help detect and localize problems in an electric vehicles powertrain, from the high-voltage battery and inverter to the motors and charging system. This allows workshops to carry out modularized repairs. If it is possible to precisely determine where problems lie, there is no need to replace whole systems. Instead, in the future it will be possible to pinpoint and replace defective parts individually. This makes repairs not only faster, but also much more affordable.
Being able to precisely locate problems is especially important when dealing with high-voltage batteries that consist of numerous independent cells. To make future battery systems easier to repair, the study also makes specific suggestions for how to build them. The diagnostic and repair methods the consortium has developed can now be contributed to the automotive industrys development projects.
Aftersales needs better diagnostic systems
A look at aftersales reveals how critical the DINA projects research is. For example, flawless powertrain testing and diagnostics are an indispensable part of technical tests such as general vehicle inspections. Whats more, an electric vehicles value depends heavily on its condition, age, and the state of health of the valuable high-voltage battery. The project produced key insights into how to determine this state of health. Similarly, electrical powertrains call for new measuring devices and equipment for workshops and test benches. This is also an area the study addresses with recommendations and approaches for development work.
Leading-edge Electric Mobility South-West cluster
With some 100 players from science and industry, the leading-edge Electric Mobility South-West cluster is one of the most important regional associations in the field of electromobility. Coordinated by the regional agency e-mobil BW GmbH, the cluster aims to drive forward the industrial-scale manufacture of e-mobility in Germany and to establish the German state of Baden-Württemberg as one of the major providers of electromobility solutions.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- Family, friends and members of the Bowling Green community gathered Tuesday night to remember Warren County's first Family Court Judge Margaret Huddleston.
Warren Family Court Judge Margaret Huddleston
The family has had visitation for the past two days for their family member who succumbed to cancer on Friday.
Huddleston was the first woman ever to serve on the bench in Warren Circuit Court and she presided over Warren Family Court from 1998 until 2013.
A friend and former colleague says she was truly, a great woman.
"Whether it was in a professional capacity or a personal capacity, whether it was being a fantastic mother, a single mother for most of her son Ryan's life, she always did the job. She did it very well, and she did it with grace. I feel fortunate to have known her and I think Bowling Green, Warren County and the legal system is fortunate to have had her play such a significant part in all our lives," said friend and former colleague Slim Nash
Funeral Mass is at noon Wednesday at Holy Spirit Catholic Church with burial to follow in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.

Religion Quest Church: Fnarf & Pastor Cho Mix It Up
posted by June 29 at 14:09 PMon
Yesterday I posted an email from Eugene Cho, pastor of Quest Church, that he wrote in response to a question I asked him about his church's stance on homosexuality. Unlike Mars Hill, Quest accepts women into positions of leadership—was Quest just as progressive on gay issues? Turns out the answer is no.
Cho said in a follow up email—which he sent to me personally and posted in comments—that he was surprised to see his email on Slog. He assumed we were having a private chat. But I wrote to Cho as a reporter, a reporter (yeah, yeah) that just wrote something about his church for The Stranger, and it was clear from my email that I was asking him for more information about Quest—I was asking him for info I wanted to include in my original piece about Quest. It seemed clear to me that we were having an on-the-record email exchange and Cho's did not tell me that his emailed response about homosexuality was not intended for publication. We're not in conflict about the misunderstanding. Cho's not upset with me; the man is gracious as all fuck. I just wanted to be clear about how this misunderstanding happened and to let folks know that I wasn't being malicious when I posted Cho's email.
Yesterday Cho posted a lengthy response to me on his blog, and I haven't had a chance to respond to it yet; I was working last night and it's busy day, what with editing to do, meetings to attend, and sins to commit. I will respond to Cho's questions for me—which include doozies like, "Is it possible for a person or a church to be 'welcoming but not affirming?'"—sometime this weekend.
In the meantime I wanted to direct Slog readers' attention to the lively debate going down on Cho's blog, Beauty and Depravity. Fnarf, Slog's superstah commenter, has been so freakishly eloquent that I'm not sure I even need to respond to Cho's last letter at this point—I just want to copy and paste's Fnarf's response and call it a day. But, like I said, I will respond this weekend because I think I owe Eugene the courtesy of a response.
Anyway, the conversation going down at Cho's blog is worth your time. Click here to read it.

Asthma Health Center
Stress and Asthma
In this article
Stress is a common asthma trigger. An asthma trigger is anything that brings on asthma symptoms. When you have stress and asthma, you might feel short of breath, anxious, and even panicked. Stress may cause your asthma symptoms to worsen and cause you to feel frightened.
When stress levels start to creep upward -- whether it's over bills, work, or your kids' jam-packed calendar -- asthma symptoms can kick into overdrive. As the wheezing and coughing gets worse, your health becomes one more reason to worry. Asthma, stress, and anxiety make for a vicious circle, and one that can spiral downward quickly.
Recommended Related to Asthma
No one really knows what causes asthma. What we do know is that asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. The causes of asthma symptoms can vary from person to person. Still, one thing is consistent with asthma: when airways come into contact with an asthma trigger, the airways become inflamed, narrow, and fill with mucus. When you have an asthma attack, spasms of the muscles around the airways, inflammation and swelling of the mucosal membrane lining the airways, and excessive amounts...
Read the Asthma Causes and Triggers article > >
When Asthma Treatment Triggers More Anxiety
With persistent asthma, you have symptoms more than once a week, but not constantly. Treating persistent asthma requires long-term maintenance therapy, such as an inhaled steroid, plus rescue therapy when something triggers symptoms. And when your symptoms are out of control (in the red zone, a severe asthma attack), prednisone for asthma might be necessary for a few days. The problem is that prednisone often causes mood swings as a side effect, adding fuel to your anxiety.
Remember, prednisone is a short-term treatment for most people with asthma. After you finish taking the "burst" of oral steroids, your mood will return to normal. Inhaled steroids don't cause permanent mood changes.
If your long-term asthma medication doesn't work well, and wheezing and chest tightness occur too often, a vicious circle can begin where anxiety worsens asthma, and asthma worsens anxiety. That's when you need to talk to your doctor about your symptoms, triggers, and stress. Also discuss other asthma treatment options that can get asthma under control again, so you can prevent symptoms of asthma.
How to Manage Stress With Asthma
Stress is part of daily life -- with or without asthma. That's why it's important to find effective ways to manage stress if you do have the disorder. Learning to relax before you feel stressed can help you prevent shortness of breath and avoid an asthma attack.
Change Your Thoughts. Learn to change thought patterns that produce stress. What you think, how you think, what you expect, and what you tell yourself often determine how you feel and how well you manage rising stress levels.

Editors Notes ? Last night I watched Siberia a new reality survivor type show on Comcast On Demand. The show opener had 16 men & women competing for a $500,000 prize for the last person holding out in the remote area of Siberia known as |Tunguska. If you know your history Tunguska is the area where in 1908 a asteroid exploded in the atmosphere destroying over 2500 square miles of forest.
Now these folks all with only the clothes on their backs are asked to survive in this place through the artic cold winter. Halfway through the episode they hear these large howls that scared the contestants so bad they ran into their cabins and hid till morning. One thing about this show is it was setup as No rules, meaning you literally could do whatever you wanted it was up to the group if they would accept it or not. It looks like we may have a Lord of the Flies type scenario beginning here.
What happens next is just not what you see on reality TV one of the cameraman is attacked and killed by some unknown creature while filming the folks collecting mushrooms to eat. This cameraman's death is actually caught on film and the cast is offered a chance to stay or leave the next day it is up to them. From what I heard and saw this creature must be a Yeti or Russian Wildman that attacked the cameraman. You must see it for yourself, is this reality or a well fabricated hoax ? The cameraman certainly looked bloodied and injured but who knows. His death was just amazing to see in a reality TV show.
I will wait and see but it certainly had me hooked to watch the next episode which will air July 1st on NBC.
20 Responses to "Does Yeti Attack Cast Members in NBC's "Siberia" Reality Show"
From watching the promo I am skeptical that it is "reality" as we know it. It feels scripted and produced to me. But I intend to watch it and see what happens. It does catch my interest.
Yeah this looks to me like a show about a pretend reality show. Could be fun, especially if you like survival stuff like I do.
they're all on facebook. tommy, the guy that died, is on twitter as of today. it was fun to watch but obviously just a tv show with actors.
Tommy wasn't the cameraman jackass
Tommy was one of the camera men. It's definitely scripted though.
No, Tommy was the guy in the bandana that carried the other man (with the glasses) to the cabins. The Cameraman is the one who ran back bloody yelling in Russian "I saw them"
Yep,just a scripted reality show!
it is a "dramatic scripted series"
a fictional drama about a fictional reality show,
they are picking up on Bigfoot mythology
Why waste your time even looking at such BS!!! This is just as bad as those finding bigfoot assholes!!
Up ur ass I've seen a Sasquatch
Obviously this isn't really a reality show. It's scripted. It looks kinda cool though.
If you read the fine print in the closing credits it says that the events are fictional and the participants are actors.
The camera man lived… Tommy was a "contestant"
its sad that tommy died hopefully its all fake
What happend to Tommy?????
It's obviously "FAKE!" Geek made me laugh when he got scared after heraing that crazy thing in the woods. Fake, but interesting.
What a BS Show trying to think we are stupid. Cameraman is not dead it's all acting with fake scripting.
the cameraman didnt die get your facts straight, it was the hippy who helped the injured kid. the cameraman was the one that came back with a head wound
the show os not real. iits scripted to look like a reality show. but i do agree it is eiither a yetii pr aliens.
Did these people die or not, I don't think so, they are all actors so they are acting. They are not actually dead otherwise why aren't the families of these people got the police in to investigate the show. Things aren't as they seem. But I think the show is really good for watching value and am enjoying it, but I know that its like a thriller with a lot of twists and turns and strange occurrence for the entertainment value. But its one of the first of its kind so keep watching for the fun of it and hope when someone wins the $500,000 everyone will turn up at the end show. Great to watch.

11 Reasons to Be Optimistic in 2014
It's not all bad news. People are living longer, we're winning the fight against malaria, worldwide poverty is down, and eight more reasons for hope in the coming year.
In search of Aids
Manipur, which has a population of 2,388,634, has the highest rate of HIV in the country, which is also the reason why it has the most number of NGOs working in the area. However, what is disturbing is that a day or two ago, one of these NGOs bribed a group of children into getting their blood tested, so that they could increase their chances of garnering more funds.
Gimme a little kiss, will ya huh?
Three million long-haul truckers traverse India's 8,000-kilometer highway network for months at a time. According to studies, more than two-thirds of those men are having frequent unprotected sex, and it's a big problem. Seena Taan Ke is a campaign that's underway to create AIDS/HIV awareness among the truckers, featuring Bollywood celebrities as well as Hollywood celebrity Richard Gere. It's a good thing for a good cause. Well, up until Richard got a little frisky onstage and planted some kisses on Big Brother winner/Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. Crowds of Indians are now burning effigies of both Gere and Shetty in protest. "Such a public display is not part of Indian tradition." said the spokesman for Hindu nationalist party Bharatiya Janata. Well, so much for AIDS awareness for truckers.

Prior learning refers to the knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience; through military training and experience; and through formal and informal education and training from in-state and out-of-state institutions. Prior Learning Assessment, or PLA, is a means of determining whether or not the knowledge, skills and abilities a student has gained through prior learning match the knowledge, skills and abilities a student would gain by completing a specific course. If outcomes of prior learning equal outcomes of a specific course, then credit for this non-traditional learning may be awarded.
The College supports as guidelines the principles of best practices published by Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (CTC), as well as the policies established by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The CTC system recognizes four categories of credit for non-traditional learning listed below.
Standardized Testing
Commonly accepted higher education equivalency exams that are documented via transcript or other official record. Examples of such tests are Advanced Placement (AP); College-Level Examination Program (CLEP); DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST); International Baccalaureate (IB); Cambridge "A" Level Exam. The College accepts up to 45 credits earned through standardized testing.

Course Challenge
Challenge exams are sufficiently comprehensive to determine that the student has the same knowledge and skills as those students who enroll in, and successfully complete, the course. A student should have previous training, private study, work experience or other bona fide qualifications indicating she/he has the knowledge or abilities equivalent to course completers. Ordinarily, students will not be allowed to challenge more than one course per quarter.
Extra-Institutional Learning
Knowledge and skills acquired outside the institution and objectively verified through industry certifications, such as the NCLEX-RN; industry recognized testing/training, such as that addressed by the American Council on Education (ACE), particularly for the military; and occupational crosswalks, such as those for police, firefighters, and AmeriCorps.
Prior-Experiential Learning
Knowledge and skills acquired through experience alone, evaluated by qualified faculty via evaluation of a compilation of work. All prior learning assessment credits in this category are awarded through a prior experiential learning portfolio review, as in the HS21+ program. For college-level students, a maximum of 25% of the credits needed for degree or certificate completion may be earned through prior experiential learning assessment. Students planning to transfer should check with the receiving institution on the number of credits earned through PLA that they will accept.
To have non-traditional learning recognized by the College, the student should consult with the Registrar in the Office of Admissions and Records.

Well, all I can say about this is that I learned a lot about pumpkin carving this year... it didn't light up so well, obviously. So, next year I'll be sure to make whatever I carve a little bit easier to see when it's lit up. At least my idea was pretty.

Zero Waste: A Look at the Future of Reverse Osmosis
Most reverse osmosis systems waste as much as 20 gallons just to produce one gallon of product water. The new technology called "ZeroWaste" eliminates this problem by returning the concentrate water from the reverse osmosis system back to the home's plumbing, resulting in 100 percent efficiency.
Point-of-Use Reverse Osmosis
As the residential point-of-use (POU) reverse osmosis (RO) industry approaches its 35th anniversary, it is time for a reality check on the industry's progress to date as well as a look ahead to new technologies or improvements that the industry may introduce for POU RO systems in 2003.
Looking for Answers in 2003 and Beyond
NSF Announces Conference on POU & POE Technology
The Center for Public Health Education, a division of NSF International (www.nsf.org), The Public Health and Safety Company announces a conference on "Public Water System Compliance Using Point-of-Use (POU) and Point-of-Entry (POE) Treatment Technologies." NSF is a global provider of public health and safety-based risk management solutions.
Evaluation of a Chlorine Dioxide Secondary Disinfection System
Chlorine dioxide is not a new technology for public drinking water facilities or pulp and paper producers, but its use as a secondary treatment system for small-scale applications is new. Beyond the chemistry and microbiology, potential small-scale operators want answers to a few simple questions: Should I use it? How does it work? What extra work is it going to make for me?
POE Disinfection
POU Faucet Selections
Faucets for point-of-use (POU) water treatment systems must combine an attractive, contemporary appearance with materials that ensure safety and purity. POU faucets and systems are becoming increasingly important to help meet consumer demands for safe, high-quality drinking water. It is estimated that by 2020 almost every household will have a POU or point-of-entry (POE) water treatment system.
Bottled Water vs. Tap
While both sides of the bottled/tap battle continue trying to inform and ultimately win the consumer over, a few facts cannot be overlooked. Regardless of how a consumer obtains drinking water, both bottled and tap must draw from the same available global freshwater sources. Despite the information with which consumers are presented, ultimately the decision is theirs. When purchasing bottled water, knowing what you are getting requires some research and understanding.
Putting an End to Hard Water Problems
Glade Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Marriott Hotels, Starbucks and The White House may be vastly different with regard to the people who use and manage the facilities; yet when it was time to solve water quality problems, they all looked to the same resource: Kevin Britton, a RainSoft dealer at Quality Water of Maryland, located in Frederick, Md. (part of the Washington D.C. metro area).
Nursing and rehabilitation center stops escalating plumbing repair costs
Growing Awareness of POU
The future of safe drinking water lies squarely in the hands of the point-of-use (POU) water purification industry. Growing awareness among decision-makers and consumers is the force behind the increasing importance of the POU industry.
Using Advanced Adsorptive Media for Arsenic Treatment
On November 26, 2001, the new arsenic standard was signed into law—lowering the acceptable level for the contaminant from 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10 ppb. Approximately 4,100 municipal water systems serving nearly 13 million people nationwide are affected by the law and are required to meet compliance by January 2006. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 97 percent of these systems are small systems serving fewer than 10,000 people each. The economic impact on these small systems is likely to be large. However, there currently are options available to small municipalities that may be more affordable than central treatment.
New POU Technologies May Be the Answer for Small Municipalities Facing High Costs
POU Technology Demonstrates Effectiveness
In March 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdrew a proposal for a lower maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic in drinking water that would bring the standard from 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10 ppb. At that time, the EPA commissioned three studies to examine the benefits, costs and health effects associated with a lower standard for arsenic.

At Monsanto, we understand the importance of accessibility to a balanced meal, which is why we are working alongside farmers, researchers, and other experts to come up with a range of sustainable solutions to help nourish our growing world. It's time for a bigger discussion about food, be part of the conversation.
Corn can be found in thousands of everyday items, from the corn starch that holds your pizza crust together to corn syrup in beverages to plastics. Humans have been resourceful in finding the uses for corn.
And humans are responsible for how corn came to be. Corn's ancient relative is teosinte, which was a grass found in Mexico. Thousands of years ago, teosinte produced a very small ear—about the size of a pinky finger—with very small kernels. Through human intervention, teosinte was bred to produce larger ears and larger kernels. Today, we have a corn plant that produces an ear about the length of a forearm with more than 700 kernels.
Corn Uses
Whether it's a 4,000 acre farmer in the United States or a two-acre farmer in the Philippines, corn is an important part of agriculture. Farmers around the world now grow corn to: feed themselves and communities; feed livestock to produce meat; and use for industrial applications, such as medicine, plastics and biofuels. Corn's versatile nature has propelled it to be grown on the second-most acreage in the world, behind wheat.
Monsanto sells both conventional and GM corn seed to farmers. Our products include:

Radiation Induced Hematuria
Dear OncoLink:
I need information on chronic radiation induced hematuria and any treatments used to correct this?
Kenneth Blank, MD and John Han-Chih Chang, MD, Editorial Assistants for Oncolink, respond:
Dear OncoLink Reader:
Thank you for your question.
Radiation treatments can cause inflammation of normal tissue. When radiation is directed at the pelvic region (which is done for prostate and rectal cancer) the bladder will receive some of the dose. Even with the most advanced treatment plans using 3-D conformal therapy, it is impossible to completely spare the bladder because of its anatomic position next to the prostate and rectum.
One of the known side effects of irradiating the bladder is bladder wall inflammation. This may present as hematuria (blood in the urine), dysuria (pain with urination), frequency (more trips to the bathroom) and urgency.
Chronic radiation hematuria is uncommon. The inflammatory process that occurs with radiation subsides once the treatments are complete and most if not all of the symptoms subside as well. However, a small percentage of patients will continue to have chronic symptoms.
The most important step in treatment of chronic hematuria is to see a urologist to rule out other causes of hematuria. A cystoscopy - looking at the inside of the bladder with a endoscope - is normally performed as well as blood tests. If no other cause for the hematuria is discovered, treatment options include anti-inflammatory medications and "watchful waiting"; with time, the bleeding almost always subsides. Also, aspirin and other medications which inhibit clot formation may be discontinued at the advice of your physician.
OncoLink is designed for educational purposes only and is not engaged in rendering medical advice or professional services. The information provided through OncoLink should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or a disease. It is not a substitute for professional care. If you have or suspect you may have a health problem or have questions or concerns about the medication that you have been prescribed, you should consult your health care provider.

Tech Deface Your Favorite Videos!
posted by July 13 at 14:33 PMon
Holy holy crap. There's a brand new website where you can copy and paste any YouTube link into a player, and scribble captions, quotes and/or graffiti all over the video. Any video! It's kinda cornball fingerpaint style, but once you finish, you can submit it, and a new URL is available to embed on your own blog, or email to your pals.
It's called RAKUGAKI. If the site first appears in Japanese, you can click it over to English in the upper left.
- Some tips for better scribbles include hitting pause before you start drawing, and taking multiple passes on a clip. Each drawing will fade after a few seconds of video, and you can adjust the color, size and transparency of the brush to potentially achieve some cool effects.
I smell a SLOG contest. Maybe people want to add some comments to Walk it Out…
Or tell us why the Dramatic Chipmunk is so damn surprised? Or maybe Ecce Homo wants to add some commentary to Gays on Crystal…

Written Wednesday, May 09, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Some dragons in Dragon's Dogma can be slain by you and your Pawns, but Capcom has today announced a dragon that can only be brought down by the might of the Dragon's Dogma community combined. A legendary and immensely powerful dragon, the Ur-Dragon (stupid name) appears in the Everfall beneath Gran Soren, awaiting adventurers and their Pawns.
Playing as your own bespoke version of the game's hero 'The Arisen', you and your Pawns can compete collectively online with other players and their parties around the globe in "an asynchronous encounter" to fight the Ur-Dragon via Xbox Live. The combined effects of yours and the rest of the online players' attacks will accumulate as you attack the Ur-Dragon, but the scaly beast is so damn powerful, that it'll take several encounter to bring it down.
Should you be the one to deliver the final, fatal blow, you'll receive a massive reward, while all players can collect a host of common and rare items dropped by the Ur-Dragon when they deal out damage against it. If you're playing Dragon's Dogma online, you can still tackle the Ur-Dragon solo, but you'll get different rewards.
Anyone who participates in taking on the Ur-Dragon will have their names and play times recorded in the Dragon's Dogma hall of fame, for other players to try and beat. Dragon's Dogma is out on May 22nd in North America and May 25th in Europe.

Location:Wilkes-Barre, PA, United States
Cohen was born and lived in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania until 2013. He attended Penn State University and Wilkes College between 1961 and 1965, and opened a commercial photo studio in 1966. Cohen's photography was first exhibited in the 1969 exhibition Vision and Expression organised by Nathan Lyons at George Eastman House.
The majority of the photography for which Cohen is known is shot in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area (also known as the Wyoming Valley), a historic industrialized region of northeastern Pennsylvania. Characteristically Cohen photographs people close-up, using a wide-angle lens and aflashgun, mostly in black and white, frequently cropping their heads from the frame, concentrating on small details. He has used 21 mm, 28 mm and 35 mm focal length, wide-angle, lenses and later on 50 mm.
Cohen has published three monographs, Grim Street (2005); True Color (2007), work in colour originating as a commission from George Eastman House; and Italian Riviera (2008), made along the Levante Riviera, during his stay in Rapallo, Liguria.
Cohen has described his method as 'intrusive': "They're not easy pictures. But I guess that's why they're mine."
A monochromatic master and a modern-day Mark Cohen—learn more about this intriguing street photographer who pounds the pavements of a town far, far off the beaten trail.
You may find his work and his methods odd, disquieting, or even distasteful—but there is no denying the power of Mark Cohen's in-your-face street photography.

"Vacations in Venice" Top 5 Page for this destination Venice by sandysmith
Venice Travel Guide: 8,404 reviews and 22,509 photos
We visited Venice many years ago as a day trip from Croatia. Like all other day tourists we did the usual trip of glass factory, St Marks's Square, Rialto Bridge and then a boat ride down the Grande Canal. Visit 2002 we had 4 days and nights to explore the off the beaten track Venice (getting lost down those side canals) and the islands. Also to savour the atmosphere of Venice at night once the day trippers have gone. We also experienced high tide in Venice, coupled with a terrific thunderstorm, leaving us marooned in our hotel for some hours!
We split our 4 days in Venice like this:
Day 1: Dosoduro and San Marco area doing all the usual tourist hilights - Basilica, Campanile, Doges Palace etc.
Day 2: Castello area for Arsenal, a meeting with Steventilly, San Palo and St Croce areas
Day 3: Murano, Burano and Torchello Islands and back via the southern lagoon.
Day 4: Cannaregio and finaly back to St Marks square for one last time.
A really useful website for all things Venetian is: here
Check out this Venice Blog for fascinating background
and stories of Venice.
A third visit to Venice in July 2004 saw us visit old favourites and discover new places. For our 4 days this time we were staying on the island of Murano. A great place to be amongst the locals and a bit nearer to the islands we like to explore more to. I'll be adding new info on restauarnts and more off the beaten path places and info too. Please check out my Venice island pages too. Venice is always a place that will draw us back time and time again - only wish we had discovered the place as early as these youngsters we saw in a gondola!
A fourth visit September 2005 we stayed for a whole week and saw the Historica Regatta and other parts of Venetian Lagoon so please do explore these pages and love to hear your comments :-))
- Pros:A magical water-borne city
- Cons:touristic..
- In a nutshell:..but you simply have to savour it

This page is known as: www.birmingham.gov.uk/chaperones
The Children (Performances and Activities) (England) Regulations 2014 states whilst a child is taking part in a performance they must be in the care of a Chaperone, that has been approved by the Licensing Authority. The role of the chaperone is to act in "loco parentis" to the child or children in their care and to exercise a duty of care which any parent/guardian might be reasonably expected to give that child.
List of the legislation and regulations that govern Children in Entertainment:
- Children & Young Persons Act 1933 and 1963
- The Children (Protection at Work) Regulations 1998
- The Children (Protection at Work) Regulations 2000
- The Children (Performances and Activities) (England) Regulations 2014
Birmingham City Council maintains an approved list of Registered Chaperones which is available upon request.
Any adult living in Birmingham, Solihull, Warwickshire or Sandwell may apply to Birmingham City Council to be registered as an Approved Chaperone. Chaperones are approved for three years with Birmingham City Council and will be required to re-register at the end of their term to remain on our approved list. Any approval is subject to the Licensing Authority being satisfied that the person would be able to exercise proper care and control of the children, and that they will not be prevented from carrying out their duty as Chaperone by other duties. Any breach of these conditions could lead to the approval being withdrawn.
For an Application Form to register as an Approved Chaperone please download the document at the foot of this page or contact the Child Employment Team at:
Child Employment Team
PO Box 16938
Tel: 0121 303 8900
Fax: 0121 303 5122
Email: email@example.com. If you need to see a member of the team a prior appointment will be necessary.
The requirements for registration with Birmingham City Council are:
- Submission of a completed application form together with two passport-sized photographs
- Submission of the names and contact details of two referees
- A satisfactory 'Enhanced' DBS Disclosure Certificate obtained from the Disclosure and Barring Service DBS
- Attendance at an interview and our Chaperone Training Seminar.
- An awareness of Child Protection issues.
Other Registration Requirements of Birmingham City Council:
- Satisfactory clearance following checks against Children Services records; and
- written notification to be sent to the Child Licensing Section within seven days of:
- any arrest for any offence, or of any conviction in a Court of Law whether in the United Kingdom or not;
- any serious or noticeable illness or debility; and
- any change of address, name or telephone number.
- any arrest for any offence, or of any conviction in a Court of Law whether in the United Kingdom or not;
Skills Required
Different skills are required when chaperoning in a theatre to when chaperoning on a film set or on location. There is more "waiting around time" during filming and the weather may lead to the children being confined to a caravan for long periods. Will also need to take into account that children energy levels are far higher than adults and they may require more individual attention. Therefore skills required are as follows:
- Good communication and negotiating skills.
- To be able to differentiate between first night nerves and genuine illness, as some children may be considerably more nervous than others.
- Children often work in an adult environment. Therefore need to take into account the child's age and experience, concentration span, and exposure to adult conversation and expectations.
- To be able to keep children calm in an emergency. Consider health and safety issues on stage and on set.
- To be able to recognise the signs and take action when a child is tired or unwell.
Duties and Responsibilities
The post of Chaperone is one of responsibility and trust. The duties and responsibilities are as follows:
- To make themselves thoroughly familiar with the terms of the performance licence granted by the Licensing Authority and see that as far as lies within their power, the conditions are properly fulfilled.
- To ensure no child is permitted to take part in performances without a licence relating to that performance. Unless an exemption has been granted by the Secretary of State or the Licensing Authority.
- To have charge of the care and control of each child in their care with a view to securing their health, comfort, kind treatment and moral welfare.
- To ensure a register is maintained and available at all time, which includes each child's personal records, with emergency contact numbers.
- To ensure confidentiality is maintained in regards each child's personal information and it is not disclosed to anyone except to authorised personnel.
- To ensure the number of children in your care does not exceed three if you are also acting as a Private Tutor.
- To ensure they are not engaged in any other duties (apart from that of a Private Tutor, the capacity as outlined above) whilst the child/ren are in their charge.
- To ensure they are in charge and have sight of each child at all times, except when they are in the charge of their parent or a teacher. The maximum number of children must not exceed twelve.
- To ensure the dressing room arrangements and toilet facilities etc are suitable and boys and girls over the age of five are not sharing a dressing room.
- To ensure that, when a child is not actually performing he/she has adequate meals, rest and recreation; and ensure any special diet requirements for medical reasons or religious grounds is provided for.
- To ensure the child leaves the theatre no later than 30 minutes after the end of their part or no later than 10.00 p.m. for children aged thirteen and under and 10.30 p.m. for children over thirteen, which ever is the earliest.
- To ensure suitable travel arrangements are in place for each child in their care and that the person agreed by prior agreement, is the person who collects the child.
- To ensure the Licensing Authority is informed of any concerns or contravention of the licence issued.
- To be aware of health and safety issues and of the procedure for the evacuation of the building in case of fire.
- To ensure that no child is discriminated against on the grounds of race, gender, colour, nationality, ethnicity or national origin.
