Innovation Is Not Enough: Why Polluters Must Pay
An economist argues we must cap emissions or put a price on carbon in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change
by Gernot Wagner, reposted from Yale Environment 360
Steven Chu, the Secretary of Energy and a Nobel laureate, has argued that what the world needs is a handful of Nobel-level breakthroughs in energy technology. They sure would come in handy in the fight to avoid the worst consequences of global warming. But counting on breakthroughs is a crapshoot. We cannot rely on a miracle to navigate away from our current head-on collision with the planet.
That hasn't stopped Breakthrough Institute co-founders Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger from arguing — as they did in a recent article for Yale Environment 360 — that technology research will stop the runaway train of climate change. You don't have to bother limiting emissions through a carbon price or cap, they say, because energy innovation will come to the rescue.
Frankly, this is bunk. Reasonable people may disagree about what policies will best fight climate change. But climate science makes one thing clear: The planet must limit carbon emissions, or face a bleak future. And we will never get there unless we make policy changes that align market incentives with this goal. It's economics 101. There's no way to avoid making polluters pay for the damage they cause, or they'll keep causing it. That either starts with a price on carbon or, ideally, a cap on carbon emissions.
Nordhaus and Shellenberger argue that taxing or capping carbon pollution is tough, so better to invest in new pollution control technologies instead (though they don't say where those investments would come from —the deficit-obsessed U.S. Congress doesn't seem poised to provide major new funding for clean-energy R & D). Certainly, it's true that it will be tough to keep polluters from passing on the costs of their pollution to the rest of us, as they always have. It's also true that innovation in governance has never been easy. Ask Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote in The Prince, back in 1505: "The innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new."
And, yes, greater investment in clean energy R&D will likely produce important advances, especially if government takes a more active role, as urged by the American Energy Innovation Council, whose leaders include hardheaded business types like John Doerr, Bill Gates, Chad Holliday, and Jeff Immelt.
But no one, including the American Energy Innovation Council, would seriously suggest — as Nordhaus and Shellenberger do — that we just focus on innovation and dismiss the hard but all-important task of capping or pricing pollution.
R & D alone just isn't enough. There's an all-important second "D": deployment. And clean energy deployment won't happen by itself. The world already has a $5 trillion-a-year energy industry that makes lots of money for lots of people, and does so while forcing the rest of us to pay enormous socialized costs of its pollution.
That's O.K., say Nordhaus and Shellenberger. All we need to do is subsidize new technologies to bring down their price. They aren't the first to make this claim. Ted Nordhaus's uncle, the Yale University economist William D. Nordhaus, has written eloquently on the topic. Companies don't care that their inventions may set the stage for others to create profitable new products, he says, and as a result, they don't invest enough in research. The logical prescription: spend public money on research.
But the elder Nordhaus, like any good economist, also understands that the only way to make these subsidies effective is "directed technical change" — that is, subsidize in order to generate needed innovation, but also put a cap or a price on pollution to make sure the innovation does what we want it to do.
This is what the European Union does. It subsidizes R&D (&D) through a variety of direct and indirect means, while employing a cap-and-trade system that covers almost half of EU emissions. It's difficult to determine the portion of emissions reductions achieved by each of these policies, especially given the economic downturn and other external factors. What is clear is that total emissions in the sectors covered by the EU's Emissions Trading System have declined by 4 percent from 2007 to 2010, the last year for which comprehensive data is available. The decline is expected to continue in the years ahead. (View a graphic).
Nordhaus and Shellenberger try to argue that Europe's cap has been counterproductive. To support their claim, they focus on emissions intensity — emissions per unit of economic output. That is fundamentally the wrong metric. The planet doesn't care about emissions per dollar . It's absolute emissions that count. Moreover, Nordhaus and Shellenberger are forced to cherry pick data to make their case.
They pick 2008-2009 and argue that energy intensity in the power sector increased despite cap and trade. It's true, EU energy intensity did increase slightly by around 0.3 percent that year. More to the point, however, Europe's overall energy intensity — much like the United States and most everywhere else on the planet — has declined consistently over time. Even in 2008-2009, absolute power sector emissions decreased, and that wasn't a fluke. The latest (partial) data show fossil generation in large EU states fell 3 percent in 2011.
Switching from coal to natural gas was responsible for some of the EU's emissions reductions. A natural gas boom in the United States may have a similar effect. This boom, Nordhaus and Shellenberger argue, was the result of basic research on shale gas extraction technologies. They may be right about the role of government funding here, but that has little to do with the need for controlling pollution through caps or prices.
It's true that natural gas may prove to be a lower-carbon fuel than coal for generating electricity, but only if leaks in the natural gas system, from production to use, are strictly limited. It's also true that even if the U.S. shifted entirely to gas from coal, we would still not meet the long-term emissions reduction goals science tells us are necessary.
In short, we need to ramp up and be able to sustain R&D (&D) — and that is nearly impossible when all market forces are pointing in the opposite direction. We need to guide private research efforts, and we need to pay for public ones. The American Energy Innovation Council lists five ways for government to come up with the necessary funds, four of which point to increasing the price of fossil energy.
The best policy instruments toward that end are pricing or, ideally, capping greenhouse gas emissions. Already, Europe's Emissions Trading System has helped give the EU the global lead in green technology deployment, and similar policies are being put in place from California to Australia and New Zealand. India has a coal tax. Brazil has placed an absolute limit on emissions and has significantly decreased emissions due to deforestation. China is starting seven regional cap-and-trade pilot programs.
Policies like these can change market incentives, which, despite the contentions of Nordhaus and Shellenberger, are key to fighting climate change. Only by getting the incentives right can we create the conditions for development and — most crucially — deployment of new technologies.
Ultimately, the world needs both new technologies and proper market incentives. Neither can go it alone.

the deficit-obsessed U.S. Congress
Since when? Federal taxes are at their lowest share of GDP in 60 years. Don't buy into right-wing talking points by confusing deficit posturing with genuine concern over deficits (even unintentionally).
Gernot (and by extension Climate Progress) –
I think we're talking in circles here. Here's the main issue: we need to drastically cut carbon emissions. How do we do it? We need to transform the entire global energy system from using fossil fuels to using low-to-zero carbon technologies. How do we get those technologies? This question is the heart of the policy debate.
As ITIF has studied (and Breakthrough Institute, as well as others), a carbon price alone won't get us the transformational clean technologies that are cost and performance competitive. Neither would a cap on emissions. New technologies don't just appear like "manna from heaven." The market won't start suddenly producing EV batteries or solar panels that are super cheap and of higher performance without subsidies by market signals alone. There is a very well recognized ecosystem of investments, policy support, partnerships, and institutions that research, develop, and deploy transformational new technologies. And that's why examples like shale gas technologies, the Internet, GSP, etc. are important in this debate. They show the types of support necessary to get the clean technologies we need.
So our policy goals should be to strengthen that ecosystem. You rightfully point out the need for R&D. We are critically under-supporting clean tech R&D and we need more of it. But our current approach is spending the lion's share of public $$'s on deploying existing technologies. But those deployment policies aren't aligned with any innovation goals or with federal R&D institutions and emerging technologies. At the end of the day, this approach won't work. Today's technologies won't deploy worldwide to get us to near-zero carbon emissions. They may reduce emission intensities some (like in the EU), but they don't come anywhere close to meeting our significant climate goals. This is not to say that deployment isn't part of an innovation agenda – it is – but what we're doing today has nothing to do with innovation, and that's troubling.
Lastly, you correctly point out that folks – like ITIF and Breakthrough – have proposed setting a carbon price and using that revenue to fund innovation. It's a great idea and aligns market signals to innovation and is representative of the types of cohesive innovation policies we need. But arguing solely for one part of an innovation agenda (a market signal) is self-defeating and misses the whole point about energy innovation and technology development.

Thanks for writing this response. Predictably, the "Breakthrough" Institute BS is now finding its intended way to the political sphere, where there are many who need credentialed malarkey to help excuse not doing what needs to be done.
Joe – Read my response. It agrees with what you said. Price, R&D, etc. are part of a bigger innovation strategy. The key is making each geared towards innovation. My point (and I'm not the only one), is that by itself and without aligning it to drive innovation, a price on carbon alone is a weak driver of innovation (if high enough, great at pushing some incremental improvements, but not at getting us the transformations we need).
That's not dissing nor is it aimed at delaying climate action. It's trying to figure out the best methods so we actually accomplish what we all want to accomplish. Simply put, a carbon price absent or disconnected from an innovation strategy (and support) doesn't get us deep emission cuts.
But it seems like advocates like yourself don't want to have that discussion.
In a recent post you showed a fossil-fuel chart of CO2 reserves (2,795 GtCO2 = 761 GtC)valued at $28 trillion, and that $22 trillion of it has to stay in the ground. That means we can burn $6 trillion of it.
Here you say the globe has a $5 trillion a year energy industry.
I'm not an economist. Do you have a simple way of explaining the difference. Since the cost of extracting the raw material is (as I understand it) 75% of the price of the product, I would have assumed that the "value" of the known reserves of fossil fuels that you say we can burn ($6T) would be a lot more than ONE-year's worth of the "global energy system" ($5T).
Can you help me better understand what you mean by "global fossil fuel industry". Obviously, it's a lot more than the value of the known reserves.
Excuse me, not "global fossil fuel industry". You used the term "global energy system."
'Cornutopian' techno-optimism is part a niche denialist market and part a Rightwing ego-trip usually associated with the 'libertarian' asylum and its inmates. A great problem with technological innovation is that, under capitalism, profit-maximisation is paramount, and unintended consequences are 'externalities' which are usually suppressed and denied.
I agree that a price on carbon and vastly expanded, Manhattan Project type, research, are both absolutely required, but, please Gaia, don't make the carbon price another venue for market trading, speculation, fraud and malfeasance. Make it a set price, rising at a transparent rate, a tax the proceeds of which to be hypothecated to research, development and installation and income compensation and redistribution.
Denialist entrepreneurs.

Perhaps it is just my aching knees…
But I feel a full on rant coming on, brought on by my favorite corporate shill, Robert Scoble. I know, I know, he's an easy target, but he really brings it on himself with absurd nonsense in defense of Microsoft.
My rant today is response to this bit of absurdity which Scoble posted in response to Dan Gilmor's criticism of Microsoft's position on security:
In winning and sustaining its monopoly in the operating system and browser markets, Microsoft has exposed countless millions of people to woes from security holes that have become conduits for viruses, worms and spyware. Now the software giant is planning to charge its captive customers to clean up the mess it created.
Robert Scoble goes on to describe how Microsoft are really good guys, after all, they released Windows XP Service Pack 2 for free, they released their (beta) Anti Spyware product for free, how more altrusitic can you get?
I suppose in Scoble's world, he thinks that when he buys a car which is later found to have serious defects, that the manufacturer's are being altruistic when they fix those shortcomings for free. But he's mistaken. Recalls are forced upon manufacturers because consumers need to be protected against systematic defects in automotive design and manufacturing which can cause loss of property or life. While consumers don't pay for these repairs when they are fixed, consumers do pay for them in the form of higher sticker prices on automobiles when they purchase them.
Software of course, is shipped without any warranty of any kind. Script kiddies break into your business' computer and deletes all your files? Not Microsoft's fault. Lose all your personal data to an identity theif? Not Microsoft's problem. Oh, and that will be $180 for XP, thank you very much.
Last I heard, Microsoft was still making stacks of money. They aren't doing anything for free, they are doing the bare minimum necessary to try to keep their business alive and growing. Often, this is more about creating the appearance of doing something about security than actually doing something about security.
The other thing to note is that part of the reason that IE7 and Longhorn have such substantial security updates is because Microsoft wasn't really ever focussed on security. Many of their systems are virtual construction sets for virus writers, and always were. Now they are playing catch-up, and asking to be praised for doing the work that they could have done years ago.
Sorry Robert, no free rides for Microsoft from this blogger.

In summary, Alcoa's current $8 share price is likely going to create two separate entities with a total stock price of $12 or higher, or a 50% gain from today's level.
Alcoa intends to split the company during the second half of 2016. Even against the market volatility and economic uncertainty, the resulting two businesses are likely to create better visibility into the true value of Alcoa.

I'm not really content with how the house turned out, but there you go, at some point you've got to stop working on a piece and move on.
I rather think the house's design is cool. The lighting is fantastic too.
wahhh this is so gorgeous! and i really, really love your comment about moving on since you know that if you're not happy with this piece, there will be more in the future anyways so might as well not be stuck on it! you're also amazing as well as your art! * 7 *
I think this piece came out looking fantastic, great job!
I like the house, I want it. In fact, I want the whole property, it looks like the perfect, idyllic relaxation spot.
Awesome job on this.
it's an amazing job! well done!
How much is the mortgage? I wanna live there.
Your house is beautiful, and the guy fishing has an impressive amount of detail on him for such a small portion of the picture. But that tree! The foliage looks photo-realistic in some parts!! Your epicness scares me... Amazing job!
Don't be so harsh on yourself with the house <3 I like how it looks. It looks...part real and part not really there. As if it belongs to another age but exists also in our time
god job beautiful !!

As a raider fan i'm used to getting screwed over by the nfl/refs. It doesn't really bother me anymore. Kinda know a bad call is coming every game, just gotta take it and move on i guess.
the nfl is really testing my patience.
dude, not cool man.
Yeah thats the giants, but it suits our guys better.
Earth- Bush
Fire- Fargas
Fits perfectly
Exactly what I was thinking
Ray Guy too. Check out his stats on wikipedia. Never had a punt returned for a touchdown, damn.
So who do you think we will pick first next year?
Are you planning on killing Davis? Because that would be fine by me after this joke pick. I don't mind the pick, but why not trade down to pick him up?
Oh boohoo. Besides everyones a little bit racist in some way. Anyone offended by this needs to grow up and get over themselves. I rarely hear of any black people being racists, why? Because other...
Sounds like a Raider to me. Bring him in Al. :smoking:
Bronco blood.
Nah really gin.
Very nice, how much?
I remember Jones torching us in that game where Sapp got like 3 personal fouls on one play. He'll definetly be a Raider this season. It would be a great addition. He is underrated.
You're damn straight he's signing with us.
First of all your friends aren't die hard raider fans. Second, I have worn the silver and black proudly in your stadium. Nothing scary about a bunch of drunk douchbags in green.

Dude what are you on?:smoking:
Money does buy Champions (see cowboys and niners of the 90's), luckily there is a salary cap.
Will he be playing a pro or a joe?
From what I saw with the Ravens he is a solid player. Not flashy, but gets the job done, which is what we need.
I like the way this guy thinks!

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans three meetings this week to hear the public's ideas for the future of Table Rock Lake.
Dana Coburn is leading the effort to change the lake's master plan, which hasn't been updated since it was developed in 1976.
She says the corps wants to know how the public envisions the use of the lake in 20 years. Other questions to be considered are what is important about Table Rock Lake and what should be done to improve it.
The Springfield News-Leader reports (http://sgfnow.co/Song6m ) the public will have a second opportunity to discuss the lake's future before the master plan is completed by December 2013.
The meetings will be Wednesday in Reeds Spring, Thursday in Shell Knob and Saturday in Branson

Big Island briefs
Former Hiloan
wins on Fight Night
Former Hiloan Brad Tavares earned a unanimous decision Wednesday night over Bubba "The Menace" McDaniel at UFC Fight Night 27 in Indianapolis.
The 25-year-old Tavares, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound middleweight who now lives in Las Vegas and trains at Randy Couture's Xtreme Couture gym, got a 29-28 nod on all three judges' scorecard for his fourth straight win.
"Thank you to all my fans and followers," Tavares tweeted after the fight. "Wanted to finish bubba but just couldn't put shin to chin! Glad I got the w, on to the next! Aloha."
The former football standout at Waiakea High School improved to 11-1 in his mixed martial arts career and his sixth victory in the UFC octagon. The only blemish on his career ledger is a unanimous decision loss to Aaron Simpson, a former two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State University, at UFC 132 on July 2, 2011.
The 29-year-old McDaniel, a Texan who trains at Greg Jackson's MMA gym in Albuquerque, N.M., is now 21-7. The win by Tavares snapped McDaniel's six-fight win streak.
Both fighters are alumni of the UFC's reality TV series "The Ultimate Fighter."
In the evening's main event, Carlos Condit, the UFC's No. 2 contender and former World Extreme Cagefighting champion, snapped a two-bout losing streak with a fourth-round TKO victory over Martin Kampmann. The win avenged a 2009 split-decision loss by "The Natural-Born Killer" to the Dane known as "The Hitman."

What are the symptoms of gastritis?
Surprisingly in many people, gastritis often produces no symptoms and is diagnosed only when samples of the stomach mucosa are examined for other suspected diseases. However, when gastritis symptoms occur, the most common symptoms include the following:
- Abdominal pain (intermittent or constant burning, gripping or gnawing pain) often accompanied by nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Bloating
- Burping
- Belching
These last four symptoms come and go over time especially with chronic gastritis. Indigestion (dyspepsia) is another term that encompasses this cluster of symptoms.
How is gastritis diagnosed?
Gastritis is diagnosed based on the patient's symptoms and history of a previous diagnosis and treatment of gastritis, alcohol consumption, and use of NSAIDs. Definitive diagnosis of gastritis is made by identifying the underlying cause of the gastric mucosal inflammation and/or by tissue (gastric) biopsy. For example, the major infective cause of gastritis is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). This bacterium can be detected by breath, blood, stool, immunological and biopsy tests. Although the bacterium can be cultured from the patient, this is seldom attempted. Other pathogens can be identified using culture, stool and immunological tests.
Biopsy of the stomach mucosa, done duringendoscopy examinations, is often used in patients to identify the causes of chronic gastritis and may allow visualization of mucosal erosions and other stomach mucosal changes. Abdominal X-rays or barium studies (upper or lower) may demonstrate the presence of thickened mucosa and folds that are signs of inflammation in the stomach.
Your doctor can help determine which tests should be done, including ancillary tests that may help identify other causes of the non-specific symptoms commonly found with gastritis. Continue Reading

I've been trying to get my head around the TR1 addition known as aligned_storage. Whilst reading the following documents N2165, N3190 and N2140 I can't for the life of me see a statement where it clearly describes stack or heap nature of the memory being used.
I've had a look at the implementation provided by msvc2010, boost and gcc they all provide a stack based solution centered around the use of a union.
In short:
Is the memory type (stack or heap) used by aligned_storage implementation defined or is it always meant to be stack based?
and, What the is the specific document that defines/determines that?
Note: In MSVC10, the following is the definition of the type of aligned_storage, in this case if the aligned_storage is an auto variable the data(_Val,_Pad) is created on the stack:
template<class _Ty, size_t _Len>
union _Align_type
// union with size _Len bytes and alignment of _Ty
_Ty _Val;
char _Pad[_Len];
Note: This is NOT a trivial question. Please try and understand the question before posting an answer.

It's a system that has died, been reborn, is on life support and is completely managed by man, so what am I finding? [Read more…]
"Paganus" is an ancient term of otherness. It was disparaging, much like the "redneck" of today. [Read more…]

I started out thinking of Marie Laveau as a kind of local spirit of New Orleans, and wound up learning a lot about Conyers. [Read more…]
Now, I think I could make a good case that New Orleans and Faerie are not that different in some respects. They are both beautiful and a bit, well, sketchy; full of glamorie, charming and occasionally unseelie inhabitants, and very good musicians. They both exist on their own terms, with an independent sense of the passage of time and a peculiar etiquette. Really the biggest difference is that if you go to New Orleans, you definitely want to eat the food. [Read more…]
When we go to festivals and spiritual retreats in nature, what are we retreating from? And from whom? [Read more…]

Genetics of Colorectal Cancer (PDQ®): Genetics - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Psychosocial Issues in Hereditary Colon Cancer Syndromes
Table 17. Summary of Studies Evaluating Attitudes Toward, Interest in, or Intention to Use Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) for FAPa, LSb, and PJSa continued...
Findings from some studies suggested that there may be subgroups of individuals at higher risk of psychological distress after disclosure of test results, including those who present with relatively higher scores on measures of general or cancer-specific distress before undergoing testing.[33,34,35,36,37,42] A study of CRC patients who had donated blood for LS testing found that higher levels of depressive symptoms and/or anxiety were found among women, younger persons, nonwhites, and those with less formal education and fewer and less satisfactory sources of social support.[33] A subgroup of individuals who showed higher levels of psychological distress and lower quality of life and social support were identified from the same population; in addition, this subgroup was more likely to worry about finding out that they were LS mutation carriers and being able to cope with learning their test results.[34] In a follow-up report that evaluated psychological outcomes after the disclosure of test results among CRC patients and relatives at risk of having a LS mutation, a subgroup with the same psychosocial characteristics experienced higher levels of general distress and distress specific to the experience of having genetic testing within the year after disclosure, regardless of mutation status. Nonwhites and those with lower education had higher levels of depression and anxiety scores at all times compared with whites and those with higher education, respectively.[36] Other studies have also found that a prior history of major or minor depression, higher pretest levels of cancer-specific distress, having a greater number of cancer-affected first-degree relatives, greater grief reactions, and greater emotional illness-related representations predicted higher levels of distress from 1 to 6 months after disclosure of test results.[37,42] While further research is needed in this area, case studies indicate that it is important to identify persons who may be at risk of experiencing psychiatric distress and to provide psychological support and follow-up throughout the genetic counseling and genetic testing process.[43]
Studies also have examined the effect of LS genetic counseling and testing on cancer risk comprehension. One study reported that nearly all mutation carriers and noncarriers could accurately recall the test result 1 year after disclosure. More noncarriers than carriers correctly identified their risk of developing CRC at both 1 month and 1 year after result disclosure. Mutation carriers who incorrectly identified their CRC risk were more likely to have had lower levels of pretest subjective risk perception compared with those who correctly identified their level of risk.[31] Another study reported that accuracy of estimating colorectal and endometrial cancer risk improved after disclosure of mutation status in carriers and noncarriers.[32]

Alastair Neil Duncan (born 1958) is a Scottish television, film and stage actor, and real estate broker.[1] He is sometimes credited as Neil Duncan.
Early life[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (June 2012)
Duncan was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1958.
Duncan's breakout role was as side-kick DS Peter Livingstone to Mark McManus's Taggart in Scottish television's eponymous detective series.
Leaving the show after the first two series, Duncan then appeared in the 1988 TV adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes.
Duncan's next key role was in the 1992 science fiction film Split Second, with Rutger Hauer. He continued with guest roles on TV series and he appeared in other films such as War Dogs, Trick of the Eye, Dazzle (1995) and Tower of Terror.
In the early 2000s, he started doing voiceover work, including films like Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts and video games like Warlords Battlecry, Legacy of Kain: Defiance, X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Final Fantasy XIV, Mass Effect, Infinity Blade II, Infinity Blade III, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and the animated TV series The Batman, as Alfred Pennyworth.
His most notable TV guest appearances include episodes of Tracey Takes On..., Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Angel and Leverage.
Duncan was one of 400 actors considered for the lead role in the international hit series Highlander: The Series but lost out to Adrian Paul. He later guest-starred in the fifth season, in the episode "Dramatic License" as immortal Terence Coventry.

Cheers and Jeers
Published: Saturday, January 22, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 21, 2005 at 11:20 p.m.
CHEER: What's fair is fair:
Southeast Louisiana shrimpers know a little about hardship and have sympathy for anyone who faces a struggle for survival -- even when it is their global rivals. This week members of the Southern Shrimp Alliance, which recently won a battle to impose tariffs on foreign shrimp, took a stance they hope benefits shrimp producers whose livelihoods were harmed by the Dec. 26 tsunami.
SSA President Eddie Gordon called on U.S. importers to pay full market value to shrimp producers in tsunami-affected nations. A return to fair-pricing levels would assist struggling domestic shrimpers, too.
Prices have plunged 39 percent since 2000, but the International Trade Commission ruled that foreign shrimp was being bought below production costs and imposed tariffs of up to 112.8 percent.
The SSA is right. Shrimp trade should take place at fair-market prices. That would pay off for U.S. shrimpers and for tsunami victims alike.
CHEER: Ratcheting up the punishment:
Small advertising signs on road rights of way are not merely ugly. They are illegal. That's common knowledge, but it still does not deter merchants, small businesses and politicians from sticking these garish little placards up by the dozens.
The Sheriff's Office makes periodic passes to place "illegal" labels on offending signs, but simple shame is not enough to deter some among us. Terrebonne Parish Council members are right to push for a local ordinance making such signs a littering offense, too.
That would subject those who put such signs out to littering fines. This is an incremental problem that step by step has intruded onto our public thoroughfares. It's time we put our foot down.
CHEER: A welcome addition:
The Thibodaux City Council Tuesday took a good step that will help Nicholls State University. It agreed to annex some land held by the university so that the entire campus will be within city boundaries.
That will be a good improvement for the school and the city, as it will help in the paperwork department.
The move had the full support of the city administration, Nicholls' leadership and the state Board of Regents, which oversees Nicholls.
Most of the campus was already inside the city. But as the university has grown, it has acquired some land -- most notably the Rienzi-Levert Plantation along La. 308 -- outside the city limits. That land will be used for, among other things, the new culinary arts school, the premiere institute of its kind in the state.
We congratulate the administration, the City Council and Nicholls for working together and getting this measure -- desired by all sides -- accomplished.
CHEER: Get a move on:
South Louisiana is probably best known for its wonderful food, but that blessing can also have a curse -- encouraging a sedentary lifestyle and an increased incidence of obesity.
Obesity is a more serious problem than just an aesthetic one. It also carries health risks dealing with high blood pressure and other ills.
The answer, of course, is eating well and getting some exercise. And a local group is doing what it can to encourage the latter.
Exercise is infinitely easier when it is done with a group as opposed to individually. So the Move Your Feet program, which encourages walking for Lafourche residents, is a welcome development.
The program supplies pedometers and training journals, where participants can track their progress. Then, the group meets periodically to share success stories, exercise and gain moral support.
For more information on the program, call 446-1316 or 447-3732.
Cheers and Jeers represent the opinion of The Courier and Daily Comet and not of any one individual.

Penguins Are Depressed By Lack Of Sun
It's been a dreary winter but penguins should be used to it, right? Not the Humboldt penguins at the Sea Life Center in Britain. They are natives of coastal South America — far from the U.K.'s unrelenting wind and rain. They're feeling so blue that zoo staff had to prescribe antidepressants.
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. It's been a dreary winter but a penguin should be used to it, right? Not those at the Sea Life Center in England. Those humble penguins are natives of coastal South America - far from the U.K.'s endless wind and rain. The black and white birds were feeling so blue from the miserable weather the zoo staff worried they'd get sick. They prescribed antidepressants and the penguins perked up. Now they're hoping for a little sunshine. It's MORNING EDITION.

China's largest offshore energy producer
CNOOC Ltd.
) has commenced its first domestic unconventional natural gas
exploration venture following the footsteps of its rival
China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.
CNOOC initiated the exploration activities in the eastern Anhui
province, on December 29, 2011. The project encompasses an area of
4,800 square kilometers.
Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Chinese shale is
estimated to hold 1,275 trillion cubic feet of unconventional
natural gas deposits, which is equivalent to 12 times the country's
conventional natural gas deposits. The Agency also stated that
China's technically recoverable reserves are almost in excess of
50% of the 862 trillion cubic feet held by the U.S.
Given the abundance of natural gas reserves, Chinese energy
explorers have been in quest for shale technology and expertise.
This has facilitated stake purchases in overseas field. In this
context, it is noteworthy that since the beginning of 2010, CNOOC
has bid for at least $16 billion of assets, including interests in
Chesapeake Energy Corporation
's (
) Niobrara and Eagle Ford shale projects.
The partnership of Chinese companies with renowned international
explorers will help them to convert their exploration into real
production. CNOOC may take nearly 5 years to begin production.
In a separate announcement, CNOOC confirmed about a legal
contest it is entangled in with the Chinese unit of
). The lawsuit is against the annoyed fishermen over the leakage in
the Bohai Bay last year. CNOOC said that the claimants are asking
for a compensation of $38 million, which comprises reimbursement
for cultivation losses, valuation fees and litigation expenses.
Tianjin Maritime Court has requested the parent body of CNOOC to
reply to the legal notice pertaining to the alleged leakage in the
Penglai 19-3 oilfield.
CNOOC holds a Zacks # 1 Rank, which translates into a Strong Buy
rating over the period of one to three months. Over the long term,
we maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Eric Keenaghan
Associate Professor
Director of the English Honors Program
Ph.D. Temple University
Poetry Studies, Modernist Studies, Political Theory, Queer and Gender Theory
Humanities 343
442-4078 (email preferred)
Eric Keenaghan has focused his research on the queer redefinition of politics, individualism, and eroticism in modernist and cold war poetries. He is the author of Queering Cold War Poetry: Ethics of Vulnerability in Cuba and the United States (Ohio State University Press, 2009). His articles, poetics essays, and review essays have appeared or are forthcoming in William Carlos Williams Review, Journal of Narrative Theory, jacket2, Journal of Modern Literature, modernism/modernity, Contemporary Literature, The Translator, Translation Studies, Wallace Stevens Journal, Barzakh, GLQ: Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, and postmodern culture. He has written entries on "gay poetry" and "queer poetry" for the newest edition of the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, 4th edition (Princeton UP, 2012); and he is contributing essays on LGBTQ poetry and poetics for The Cambridge History of Gay and Lesbian Literature (Cambridge UP, 2014) and The Cambridge Companion to Gay and Lesbian American Literature (Cambridge UP, 2015). He is also a contributing author to several critical collections, including: Ronald Johnson: Life and Works (National Poetry Foundation, 2008); Queer Exoticism (Cambridge Scholars, 2010); The Other Emerson (Minnesota, 2010); [RE:]Working the Ground: Essays on the Late Writings of Robert Duncan (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011). His original poetry has appeared in the little magazines and e-zines jacket2, EOAGH, Barzakh, Tool: A Magazine, Io Donna (Italy), The Ixnay Reader, The Portable Boog Reader, as well as in the anthology In/Filtration: An Anthology of Innovative Poetry from the Hudson River Valley (Station Hill of Barrytown, 2015).
Currently, he is researching and writing a new critical book titled Life, Love, and War: Anarchist Pacifism and Twentieth-Century American Poetry. The archives of three unaligned Leftist American poets and poet-activists—Muriel Rukeyser, Kenneth Patchen, and Robert Duncan—reveal clues about how poetic forms and conceptual vocabularies in the years preceding and following the United States' entry into the Second World War, tested the boundary between literature and politics. These poets' experimentation with form and subject matter, and their work in and involvement with other genres (the anti-novel, verse-drama, personal writing) can inform our ideas about how, in a time of war, art and poetry still has a social role and political life, even if--as W.H. Auden famously claimed--"poetry makes nothing happen." Similar ideas about the relationship between form and politics inform his own in-progress creative work, including two collections of poetry (Love Letters to My Husband and Palace Songs), and Études, an open series of speculative lyrical essays that explores the disjunctions between art and political life and the experience of "reading" texts and activist discourse.
He is also currently editing a two-volume critical edition of the Selected Prose of Muriel Rukeyser, one of the subjects of Life, Love, and War and a key influence on his own poetics. The volumes recover Rukeyser's forgotten shorter-form nonfiction--essays, journalism, book reviews, activist writings, personal writings, and short stories--several of which have remained unpublished, some of which were suppressed by editors and publishers, and most of which have been previously uncollected. This project will correct our understanding of this twentieth-century poet's often misunderstood poetics by refocusing our attention on the full scope and breadth of her career, including but also moving beyond her interests in the late 1930s and early 1940s (which have received the most critical attention). Over the course of her forty-plus-year writing career, Rukeyser organically integrated her ideas about the arts and sciences with her deep reading in metaphysical and scientific and political philosophies and her unwavering commitments to peace and anti-fascism, to educational access, and to social justice in all matters related to race, gender, class, and religious culture.
Professor Keenaghan teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on modernist poetry and fiction, cold war and contemporary poetry, literature of the Left and new social movements, queer and gender studies, political philosophy, and literary theory. He also is the Director of the English Honors program.

Thoughts will remain thoughts.
Surveillance cameras are used to catch offenders - but they actually do much more than that. They actually PREVENT wrongdoings by simply being present. Many a dastardly thought never gets executed because of this unblinking eye of technology. CCTV cameras thus play the effective role of a thought inspector and send out a strong message: "you may think it, but don't ever think of doing it."

Originally posted on The Sports Post | Last updated 9/29/13
Greg Jennings had it all in Green Bay: an offense-savvy coach, one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and receivers around him to attract coverage. But he threw that all away for the one thing that most players seek, while overlooking why he was able to obtain it in the first place. In other less confusing words, Jennings sought his big payday, and that is exactly what he got this offseason. The Minnesota Vikings signed the 30-year-old Jennings to a five-year deal with a maximum value of $47.5 million, and a guaranteed $18 million. After two injury-plagued seasons where Jennings felt that he was becoming overshadowed by young Green Bay receivers like Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, and James Jones, he decided to part ways with one of the best offenses in the game. That decision alone makes sense if he still wants to be looked at as a premier receiver, but what does not make any sense is why he would sign with the rival Vikings. Minnesota is led by third-year quarterback Christian Ponder, and that is precisely the problem with going to the Vikings. Last season, Percy Harvin ranked first in receiving yards for Minnesota; he tied for 60th in receiving yards in the NFL with Brandon LaFell. For the record, he was behind players like Brent Celek, who spends half the game blocking, and Chris Givens, who spends half the game on the bench. But seriously, the problem is that Ponder is not the type of quarterback you want to play with if you want to continue to be a premier wide receiver. Now, I don't think Ponder is completely awful. He is deadly accurate on the short and intermediate throws, but the major problem for receivers on his team is that he is inept when it comes to the deep ball. He does not possess the arm strength nor the accuracy to make the big-time throws. There is a reason Kyle Rudolph, his tight end, was the second best receiver on the team last year. And Jennings left Rodgers for that? The production differential is striking. This season, Jennings is good for nothing more than a couple catches and a handful of yards per game. The chemistry is obviously not there yet because Jennings is only catching about 50 percent of the balls thrown his way, but could that just be an excuse for the fact that Ponder will never be able to get it done? At 30, Jennings should have only signed with a team that had a great quarterback and is a contender. The Vikings are neither of those things. Another issue is Ponder's inability to throw touchdowns, which has been Jennings' specialty. Ponder has thrown two touchdowns so far this season, one to Kyle Rudolph and one to Adrian Peterson. When Minnesota hits the red zone, it has been Adrian Peterson time. They are feeding him the rock, in turn taking scoring chances away from Jennings. By signing with the Vikings, Jennings is becoming another forgotten receiver in the NFL, which does not do his early career success any justice. He left Green Bay to maintain his positive legacy, but by signing with Minnesota, he is probably worse off. At the age of 30, he should have only signed with a team that had a great quarterback and is a contender. The Vikings are neither of those things. You know what would have been a great place for Jennings? The New England Patriots. Or even the Pittsburgh Steelers. Or what about the San Francisco 49ers!? There were so many better options than the Vikings and it is now obvious that he blew it. He is stuck with Ponder like a bad marriage and there is nothing he can do but put on a fake smile and consider divorce again. Jennings is at the point in his career when each year is extremely valuable. He does not have many left at his high-level of play and he can't waste them with a guy like Ponder. Unfortunately, he made his bed, and now he needs to lie in it. This is yet another example of the saying, "You don't know what you got until it's gone." Somewhere, Jennings is watching Packers highlights with tears welling up in his eyes.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Taking a page from Image Comics and its months-old "Experience Creativity" campaign, DC Comics has debuted the first of its creator-focused ads that will begin appearing next week in the company's titles as the countdown to Comic-Con International begins.
Bearing the headline "See the sights. Talk the Talk. Meet the Makers," the first installment features a photograph of Batman and American Vampire writer of Scott Snyder, accompanied by the quote, "It's the greatest, biggest, most exuberant collection of geeks like me anywhere on the planet at once." The ad also directs fans to the DC website, Twitter and Facebook accounts, where they'll be able to follow announcements from Comic-Con.
DC teases that it will reveal the next creator on Friday, but want a list of candidates, you need look no further than the publisher's recent portraits of writers and artists. See the full ad below.
Update: Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson writes, "Sincerely, we're very flattered."
I was a fan of Snyder until I read Batman #10.
i was a big fan of paul until i read his recent comment.
Looks like somebody wants to clean up their image from what they did to Alan Moore, the Superman creators, etc.
Look out, Scott! Look out!
Batman's gonna punch your head!
I love that we can interact with creators in so many ways now. Remember when the only way to reach them was by letters to the editors? Wait, most of you don't remember, do you?
I'd love to see some satirical versions of these: black and white photographs of Bill Finger, Alan Moore, Marv Wolfman, Jack Kirby, Siegel/Shuster etc. etc.
"I did that comic you loved and then they screwed me. Thanks for helping them."
So, what does that actually translate to? Does Snyder get royalties from his Batman work from here on out? Does he get royalties from the Court of Owls if they ever make a movie of it? What exactly is a maker??????????
I remember, Simon. And while I like the modern stuff, I really miss lettercols. Surely DC could use one of the three advertorial pages in the back of their books to get some letters printed. The return of lettercols a couple of years back seemed to work well.
Actually, didn't Dark Horse do a campaign like this two years ago or more? I remember ads with Tara McPherson and others.
While the makers are incredibly hard-working people, many of whom I'd love to meet in person, the context for much of our criticism as fans began when publishers started putting their names above the comics' titles. For better or worse.
DC don't want to use the word creators because then it's harder to justify profiting from their work whilst cutting them out of the deal.
Shows how much originality DC has left that they're so plainly ripping off Image's current promotion. Ironic that DC are taking their advertising techniques whilst Image are taking their biggest and best creators.
Not makers. Creators.
Met Scott Snyder on Friday and Saturday at Heroes con. Great guy.Humble and down to earth.Ran into him on Saturday night at the hotel bar.The man likes his Irish Whiskey.
semantics people…
Snyder's a good writer. Would love to see more Severed!
This is a pretty sad advertisement.
"Meet our work-for-hire, IP-farm indentured servants… and their bosses".
Smiley, smiley, everyone— we're a HAPPY Family!
(Will they all wear shirts with the nuDC 'sticker' logo for easy spotting at Comic-Con?)
This is like McDonalds rolling out a "Meet the cows that go into your hamburger!" ad campaign. Hilarious.
can we kick them in the balls for screwing up the DC universe too ?
Speaking of DC's "portraits of writers and artists" webpage, a couple of comments on that page pointed out that there is no credit anywhere for the photographer(s) who were responsible for those portraits.
Even when DC tries to pretend that it cares about creators, it can't help but show its true colors.
Credit to the photographers…….Riiiight.
It would be highly unusual for a photographer to be credited in an advertising campaign.
I'm not talking about the advertising campaign. I'm talking about the DC website linked in the original article.
I'm not sure who the target audience for these ads is supposed to be – badges for SDCC have been sold out for months now. The people who are going already have their tickets, the ones who don't are S.O.L. It seems like an attempt to stir up enthusiasm that can't really bear any fruit.
I agree that this is a (weak) attempt to seem creator-oriented in the light of recent controversy but there's one small problem: its completely bogus. The difference between this and the Image campaign is that the Image campaign was rooted in an actual ideal that's implemented in their company practices and the content of their books. This is just horseshit, like when McDonald's adds one salad to their menu and pretends to be a source for health food. Imagine how different comics would be if DC were capable of feeling shame.
PS – Eric Stephenson is the man.
"Meet the makers"
Someone go and ask where you can meet Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
I thought "making" was sh#tting. WElcome to corporate america.
