In 3-2 Vote, SEC requires companies to disclose climate risks to investors
Many major industries have climate risks, starting with insurers. In this Wonk Room repost, Brad Johnson explains what the SEC did today to help investors understand what those risks are. I'll add a note on the two anti-science SEC commissioners at the end.
UPDATE: SEC has put out a Press Release (and a video of the Chair's statement).
In a 3-to-2 vote, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission determined today that companies "must consider the effects of global warming and efforts to curb climate change when disclosing business risks to investors."
Guidelines approved today require companies to weigh the impact of climate-change laws and regulations when assessing what information to disclose, the commission said. The SEC is responding to investors who said companies aren't providing enough data on the potential risks to their profits and operations from environmental- protection laws. In the 3-to-2 vote, the commission said companies in the U.S. should also consider international accords, indirect effects such as lower demand for goods that produce greenhouse gases, and physical impacts such as the potential for increased insurance claims in coastal regions as a result of rising sea levels.
Ceres, a network of investors and climate activists, hailed the action as "the first economy-wide climate risk disclosure requirement in the world." More than a dozen investors managing over $1 trillion in assets, plus Ceres and the Environmental Defense Fund, requested formal guidance in a petition filed with the Commission in 2007, and supported by supplemental petitions filed in 2008 and 2009.
For too long, the reality of climate change has been ignored by American business, exemplified by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's denial of global warming. This willful ignorance has left American business "" from agriculture to the financial sector "" unprepared for the increasing damages of climate change, such as sea level rise, drought and wildfires. Furthermore, these blinders have kept American business behind international competitors, who have leapt ahead by investing in the coming low-carbon economy.
JR: Business Week reports that anti-science still rules with the minority:
The commission voted along party lines with two Republicans, Kathleen Casey and Troy Paredes, rejecting the proposal. Both said scientific claims that man-made emissions are contributing to global warming are "unsettled" and today's move could swamp investors with unnecessary information.
Sad. Yes, wouldn't want to swamp those investors with unnecessary information. That's what conservatives do — they protect the people from unnecessary information. Thank goodness we didn't swamp investors with information about risks pertaining to mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps a few years ago. Who knows what bad decisions they might have made with all that unnecessary information.
The SEC PR:
SEC Issues Interpretive Guidance on Disclosure Related to Business or Legal Developments Regarding Climate Change
Washington, D.C., Jan. 27, 2010 "" The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to provide public companies with interpretive guidance on existing SEC disclosure requirements as they apply to business or legal developments relating to the issue of climate change.
Federal securities laws and SEC regulations require certain disclosures by public companies for the benefit of investors. Occasionally, to assist those who provide such disclosures, the Commission provides guidance on how to interpret the disclosure rules on topics of interest to the business and investment communities. The Commission's interpretive releases do not create new legal requirements nor modify existing ones, but are intended to provide clarity and enhance consistency for public companies and their investors.
The interpretive release approved today provides guidance on certain existing disclosure rules that may require a company to disclose the impact that business or legal developments related to climate change may have on its business. The relevant rules cover a company's risk factors, business description, legal proceedings, and management discussion and analysis.
"We are not opining on whether the world's climate is changing, at what pace it might be changing, or due to what causes. Nothing that the Commission does today should be construed as weighing in on those topics," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro. "Today's guidance will help to ensure that our disclosure rules are consistently applied."
Specifically, the SEC's interpretative guidance highlights the following areas as examples of where climate change may trigger disclosure requirements:
- Impact of Legislation and Regulation: When assessing potential disclosure obligations, a company should consider whether the impact of certain existing laws and regulations regarding climate change is material. In certain circumstances, a company should also evaluate the potential impact of pending legislation and regulation related to this topic.
- Impact of International Accords: A company should consider, and disclose when material, the risks or effects on its business of international accords and treaties relating to climate change.
- Indirect Consequences of Regulation or Business Trends: Legal, technological, political and scientific developments regarding climate change may create new opportunities or risks for companies. For instance, a company may face decreased demand for goods that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions or increased demand for goods that result in lower emissions than competing products. As such, a company should consider, for disclosure purposes, the actual or potential indirect consequences it may face due to climate change related regulatory or business trends.
- Physical Impacts of Climate Change: Companies should also evaluate for disclosure purposes the actual and potential material impacts of environmental matters on their business.
* * *
The SEC's interpretive release will be posted on the SEC Web site as soon as possible.

"When assessing potential disclosure obligations, a company should consider whether the impact of certain existing laws and regulations regarding climate change is material. In certain circumstances:"
An example would be where an IPO is drafting cash flow assumptions and must be required to disclose risks and legislation that feed inducements and subsidize the product. How does one draft a red herring prospectus regarding future sierra Club litigation and damage to birds and other wildlife around wind farms?
Long overdue — you may remember we were pushing this way back when we were at DOE together — this will prove very powerful.
How does "should consider" have any teeth? "Should evaluate" does not sound very strong.
Will this require a shareholder to file suit? How might this be enforced?
I heard this report on NPR All Things Considered this evening. The reporter mentioned that SEC has other rulings about disclosures that are widely ignored.
Let's hope this gets enforced, it's a very clever way to bring the home the fact that climate change will have economic effects, and completely marginalize the deniers.
Insurance companies will be affected, I can't wait to see their required quarterly analysis of what ozone damage to trees and crops is expected to cost!
This development is a perfect example of something that could have a huge, positive effect, even though it's not a dramatic event like the passage of a climate change bill or a breakthrough agreement in Mexico City 11 months from now.
Even though there's no carbon tax being paid or cap-and-trade permits being exchanged, this ruling should begin the process of assigning a risk (and therefore a monetary value) to the effects of CO2 pollution.
About freakin' time.
Hope it is stringently enforced.
Finally, a financial regulatory agency that has stopped the unwilling, uneducated, and willfully ignorant to control policy. Lets hope this trend continues.
Curb your dog, curb your climate.
The JRN disclosure: All of you monied (money: a tradable symbol of political power) capitalists are too late. This is good policy for maybe a quarter century ago. Based on current science, the past emissions presently residing in the air at 430 ppm (equivalent) exceeds that during a past geologic age when polar ice caps did not exist. This is due to the phenomena of radiative forcing.
This means over seven million cubic miles of land ice are headed to sea and our way. Impact: new sea level maybe one quarter up the Empire State Building. All world seaports, total loss. Have a nice investment.
#7 David:
If the SEC doesn't enforce the new disclosure requirement, plaintiffs' lawyers will be more than happy to do it for them. Recent changes in federal procedure have made it harder than simply waiting for a company's stock to go down after Cap & Trade passes and then blaming the dip on insufficient disclosure (a fraud-on-the-market type theory), but profit-motivated attorneys will find clever ways to get it done.
How long until Sen. Murkowski calls for legislation to reverse the SEC?

Shame on the Pennsylvania judge who ruled that voters will not be required to prove they are qualified to cast a ballot.
Sarah McKibben
North Augusta, S.C.
I have to present a picture ID when I shop, when I take an airplane flight, when I pick up my grandchild at school and on other occasions. It is not an imposition of my civil rights.
Shame on the Pennsylvania judge who ruled that voters will not be required to prove they are qualified to cast a ballot.
Sarah McKibben
North Augusta, S.C.
If I were a black person and someone said I was too incompetent, too ignorant, and too lazy to go get a free ID card I'd want to seriously consider their motives...Maybe they were not really concerned about me, but only what I could do for them---like vote for them. Of course, it maybe that I may be some of those things because I tend to vote for them 98% of the time.
Sarah McKibben wrote - "It is not an imposition of my civil rights."
But what about other folk's civil rights? Don't they have a right to vote in a way that is simple, equally available, and unrestricted?
Before the Voting Rights Act, I'm quite sure that folks who had money or could read said that poll taxes and literacy tests weren't "an imposition of their civil rights".
Voting should be the simplest action that Americans can do in regards to their government. If even one citizen is disenfranchised from voting due to some "requirement", we should hang our heads in shame.
All of the Republican led initiatives to supposedly protect us from voter "fraud" are nothing but blatantly obvious attempts to disenfranchise voters who would vote Democrat. It's the same as gerrymandering, and it really shows how desperate Republicans are to hold onto power. They see the light at the end of the tunnel, and they know it's an oncoming train...full of Democrats.
DON't people have a right to firearms, a right actually delineate in the constitution, but try buying a weapon with out a picture ID. Now the right to vote is not found in the constitution. Oh wait, I'm sorry, Liberals don't like guns so increasing impediments to that right is OK! It is simply called hypocrisy which doesn't bother liberals, neither does a lack of clear logical thinking!
Now that's funny, carcraft...statistics show the problems with guns, yet voter fraud is a figment of conservatives' imagination. Your statements hold absolutely no water.
If hundreds vote illegally and nullify honest citizen's votes we ought to hang our head in shame!
I, honestly have to agree with you. Here's why: http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/06/21/shocker-republicans-account-for-...
Here's why you have to present ID to buy a gun: http://www.nbcnews.com/health/guns-home-raise-suicide-homicide-risk-revi...
Here's the truth about "voter fraud": http://www.factcheck.org/2013/01/voting-conspiracies/
How can you say it is a violation of your rights to be required to show ID to vote (which isn't in the Constitution) but NOT a violation to be requiered to show an ID to purchase a firearm (which IS in the Constitution)? Are minorities being denied their 2nd amendment rights? Where's the outrage?
If even one citizen is denied the right to defned themself due to some "requirement", we should hang our heads in shame. Right, Specta?
From deestafford's first line,(which is all I can read)"If I were a black person" I'll finish it for you: I'd definitely feel this letter to the editor is totally wrong.
carcraft, if guns are so great, why is it that Congress restricts funding for studies on gun deaths?
It is not a civil right to shop, take an airplane flight, or pick up a grandchild from school, and it is ludicrous to compare that to the Constitutional right to vote.
But that doesn't stop some people.
A picture ID means nothing, I could get a fake one for $50.
A photo voter ID is unfair. That would mean the democrats can only vote one time, unfair.
"If even one citizen is disenfranchised from voting due to some "requirement", we should hang our heads in shame."
It is humorous how many folks use the term "disenfranchised" since the race baiter Jesse Jackson use it several years ago.
" A picture ID means nothing, I could get a fake one for $50."
maybe so but a very large % of democrats are too lazy to go too that much trouble.
Corgi...is it a civil right to bear arms?
I am a registered voter and have ID. If an ineligible voter without a valid ID is allowed to vote, that disenfranchises ME by nullifying and cancelling out my vote. Common sense. And there is lots of voter fraud out there. Requiring IDs is a sensible measure and when laws like this pass there are always provisions to assist the poor in obtaining valid IDs.
Yup, dixieman, but who is it committing voter fraud? Look at my earlier post and respond. The fact that any is caught PROVES that the system works, and there is no legitimate need to amend the requirements, except for Republicans, then it's needed to prevent fraud on their part.
" A picture ID means nothing, I could get a fake one for $50."
Well there goes your argument that they are too poor or ignorant to get a real one for free.
Are there no liberals willing to tackle the question as to why they are against requiring ID to vote (not in the constitution), but have no problem requiring ID to get a firearm (in the constitution)?
I have yet to hear a valid objection to the requirement for a photo ID. The states have offered free transportation, a no-cost ID and anything they could to help those who couldn't otherwise obtain one.
rides, free I.D.
Find me a person eligible to vote who doesn't have a valid ID, just one will do..
Look what a person has to go through just to get a drivers license - married women to show a marriage certificate- are we to say that we are being denied our right to drive a car?
Joe Biden was using the voter ID at a MLK function yesterday...still pandering to the black vote, indicating that he sees them as a helpless lot, a block, one and aLL.
a good case for those who look to 'news' sources to hear what they WANT to hear... there is NO discernible voter fraud in America, NONE. say what you might, but it has been proven by statements made by those who have implemented this new rule that it's intent is to diminish voting among a certain voting population. Live with it people, quit making arguments that have no bearing to the ACTUAL FACTS used in its implementation. FACT: voter ID makes it harder for some in the population to VOTE, period. I can live with honesty, it is the hypocrisy that galls me.
I can't figure out why Democrats fight so hard against protections from voter fraud. It is pure bunk to suggest it will prevent even ONE eligible voter from voting when the states have bent over backwards to ensure an I.D. is easily available to anyone wishing to get one.
" there is NO discernible voter fraud in America, NONE. "
Never let facts get in the way of rhetoric.
There is NO discernible case of someone being killed with a bayonett, yet Clinton had them outlawed.
Faithson.... FACT: Requiring ID to buy a firearm makes it harder for some in the population to defend themself, period. Seems you are OK with this hypocrisy.
Open a bank account.
Cash a Check,
Buy alcohol
Buy prescription drugs
Buy Tobacco products
Get SNAP (Food Stamps)
Get Government Housing
Get Financial Assistance
Get a Loan
Buy A Car
Buy Lottery Tickets
It doesn't seem like a problem to get one for voting!!
Corgimom you did not touch the right to own weapons which require an ID AND background check!
Carcraft....he/she won't touch it either, because it is pure hypocrisy.
how does it make it harder to vote? Thats an illogical position. What are your facts as you proclaim it to be?

Nonprofit housing group's ad draws fire
MONTPELIER — A Vermont nonprofit housing group is being criticized for a video promoting its weatherization service that some say plays on stereotypes of people from India.
The ad on the website of Neighborworks, a housing group serving Rutland and Bennington counties, has Vermont-based comic actor Rusty DeWees imitating someone with an Indian accent answering the phone.
It makes the point that people calling the Neighborworks Heat Squad weatherization service will be answered by a woman named Lori from West Rutland.
Some lawmakers are calling the ad demeaning to South Asians. Sen. Richard Sears, a Bennington county Democrat, says an agency getting government support should not be running ads using stereotypes.

Star Trek Online content designer Dan Griffis to depart Cryptic in "a few weeks"
Star Trek Online content designer Dan "Gozer" Griffis has announced he's leaving Cryptic Studios to pursue other opportunities. Griffis responded to his departure on the game forums stating: "I will be leaving if a few weeks for a new opportunity. That's pretty much all of it. It has nothing to do with PvP, STO, or Cryptic. It's just time for me to do something different. I had planned on telling everyone on the forums at some point, but probably closer to when I was actually leaving (I'll be here for a few more weeks)." The MMO's PvP will be handed off to another developer he said. Griffis previously left Cryptic in 2010 but returned after a short while.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
This unremarkable but reliable title will satisfy those looking for some cock-sucking entertainment and not requiring top of the line product.
Ten straight-ahead blowjobs that don't really feature much in the way of choking or gagging. The cocks are plenty big - in some cases unquestionably capable of producing choking and gagging - but the blowjobs are pretty unremarkable, and the feature is far from innovative.
The concept here is quite basic: a number of black men with big dicks get them sucked by a number of attractive women. As is the case with Mr. 18 Inch, there's some hot verbal encouragement in exchange for enthusiastic slobbering, but mostly it's just a lot of cock cobbling. Video quality varies, with some scenes being under lit and others bluish.

Skip to comments.Get out of bed and cut your lawn! Code Compliance officer marched into woman's home and yelled
Posted on 07/09/2012 3:14:40 PM PDT by Teflonic
A woman got the shock of her life when she woke up to find a stranger in her bedroom, yelling at her to wake up because her grass was too long.
Erica Masters was asleep when Columbia County Code Compliance Officer Jimmy Vowell entered her Martinez, Georgia, home without permission to serve a violation notice for her overgrown lawn.
After knocking on the woman's door a few times, Vowell let himself and made his way into her bedroom, which was captured on surveillance video.
He let himself in and actually came through the house and into my bedroom. And yelled at me to wake me up, to let me know that I needed to come back outside and sign the violation notice,' Masters told WJBF.COM.
I woke up, I didn't have my glasses on or my contacts in and all I see is this big burly figure standing in my doorway. A big, huge guy with a grey shirt. It scared the mess out of me.
Vowell, who has been placed on administrative leave, will not face criminal charges, it has been revealed.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Guess he was lucky he wasn't shot.
I fear if this happened in our house, that would be one dead fat man.
Sumbitch would have been dead had he tried this at my home.
my two big dogs would have had him for breakfast.
surely this is breaking and entering? Trespassing?
That guy would look like a 400 lb block of swiss cheese with 5.56 fragments if he tried that at my house.
The area looks very rural, why the heck are grass requirements being enforced there anyway? She should just spread a 50lb bag of wildflower seeds over the whole front of the house and be done with it.
Appalling. But I have to ask, how did he let himself in? Was the food unlocked? Or did he break in?
The guy is none too smart.
They have guns and castle laws in GA. If she had a gun and heard him coming down the hallway she could have toasted him right there - and been within her rights.
He's right, her yard is a mess!
He'd weigh a bit less after the 00 buckshot diet. As those in the know say, "heavy buckshot at close ranges remove meat and bone."
Jimmy is quite fortunate that his name is not preceeded by the words "the late"...
Wake me up that way and it will be Mossberg time!
News as it should be...
"The woman told police officers that she was awakened by a large, strange man standing over her while she was sleeping in her bed and he began yelling at her. "I thought that he was crazy... I thought that he was going to rape or kill me... so I shot him once in the head and twice in the chest".
He has that over-aged Cartman look to him.
The BTK murderer took a long break in his murderous rampage.
Why you ask?
He was deriving enough pleasure administratively torturing people as a code enforcer that he didnt feel the need to Bind, Torture and Kill young women.
What does that tell you?
I hope she sues the CHIT out of the city and then some. We are living in a police state.
"The guy is none too smart."
Yeah, you only have to watch the first part of the video to realize this guy has size 44 coveralls and a size 4 hat. Which is to say, a typical county employee.
He's on leave so he can apply for a job on Obama's new death panel.
It is amazing to me that across the width and breath of this continent gubment cheese swilling swine like this have jobs. People like this have jobs because citizens want strong gubment. Powerful gubment is demanded at all levels, Municipal, County, State and Federal. Voting citizens demand gubment powerful enough to interfere in the lives of fellow citizens.
I am convinced this is a conservative Law and Order legacy inflicted on each other by a brand of conservatism that harbors a great reverence for institutions.
Everyone here that argues for seat belt laws, helmet laws, cell phone laws and the War on Drugs, this is your legacy.
Conservatism to me is:
Small government with decision making pushed to the smallest possible denominator. Underfunded and frustrated public employees. Personal risk accepted rather than transfered. Small, cheap, gubment that has a hard time getting things done. That is good conservative gubment to me. But this picture juxtaposed with a very powerful military stationed overseas and tight border control.
She should have shown him where the lawnmower was and tell him to get cutting...fat boy...
I'd be answering a homicide charge if the jackass came into my home and he'd be assuming room temperature.
I hate to say it, but I agree with the suing part. Especially since the county didn't see fit to file b and e charges against the larda$$ who believed he had the authority to confront a helpless woman in her bedroom.
Sue them until their insurance policy limit is breached -then go into the county funds aka salary and pension and benefit funds.
And he does appear to be somewhat BTKish.
And it is completely shameful that the county seems to be backing his actions.
For those unfamiliar with the area...
it is not pronounced mar-TEE-nez; it is pronounced martin-EZZ.
Wow that's the first person I thought of.
You, me and Cowgirl of Justice.
Yeah, well they also think Houston is pronounced How-stun...
Dead in 5 seconds.
Punching the "like" tag.
I said shake, rattle, and roll.
Love it! In Missouri, the St. Francois River is pronounced "Saint Francis".
I don't know any of the specifics of this situation...but, in many communities, the code compliance people have the authority of law enforcement.
The reason given is that they need this authority to be able to write tickets for tall grass, etc. Of course, the downside is that these untrained idiots have, well, police powers...and can go whever thay want, to enforce the law.
He's just going to say he went in there to make sure the house was indeed inhabited, nobody was dead in there, etc. Most people would call the police...but, he may be the police.
GA communities seem to have a habit of passing these types of ordinances, probably to discourage lower class residents. They pass a bunch of laws about lawn care, shrubbery, junk on the property, maximum # of cars allowed, noise, pets, etc. Then, harass & fine the hell out of violators until they are driven out of town.
I'll bet Erica Masters is black. I'll also bet Vowell will be back on the job in a jiffy.
"...Yeah, well they also think Houston is pronounced How-stun..."
Yes, Georgia actually has a Houston County (pronounced "HOUSE-ton").
Extra points if you can pronounce this one:
Taliaferro County Georgia" (named for a Revolutionary War Captain).
I am well prepared.
And my dogs spend their days sharpening their teeth and checking the batteries in their walkie talkies.
Not even gonna try.
Update: The guy has been fired.
He was in hot pursuit of her dog.
"Taliaferro County Georgia..."
It is pronounced: Toliver.
"...The guy has been fired...."
If the woman had not had a video security system in her home, nothing would have ever come of this.
Thanks for the update, glad he was let go.

According to Hilti, the new PR26 self-leveling rotating laser level's green beam is easier to see than the standard red.
The two new lasers I tested for this article — Hilti's PMC 36 and Agatec's CPL 50 — combine features not usually found together on one tool.
Inspired by the horizon- indicator instrument found on airplanes, C.H. Hanson's new Precision Ball Level uses a weighted floating ball to find level, plumb, and any angle or slope in between.
Tajima's Chalk-Rite Jam-Free CR301JF holds 3 1/2 ounces of chalk — enough to snap 689 feet of lines, says the maker.
The easiest way to avoid inaccurate measurements is to not measure at all.
There's a better way to measure bit height than balancing a ruler on end above the hole in your router table.
If several thousand dollars for an IR camera isn't in this year's tool budget, consider an infrared thermometer like the Fluke 566.
One of the most important diagnostic tools in the building-forensics toolbox is an infrared camera.
Still using that curly steel fish tape? Try the sectional fiberglass rods now favored by electricians and telecom contractors.
The FLIR 15 professional-grade thermal imaging camera uses an advanced infrared detector to quickly scan large areas to reveal energy leakage, missing insulation, radiant tubing embedded in floors, and anywhere heat is present. The tool is lightweight, compact, and easy to operate, and its 2.8-inch...
From the historic company that brought us the Combination Square comes the ProSite Combination Protractor (CP505A-12), a 5-in-1 layout device designed for measuring and transferring angles.
C.H. Hanson introduces a compact, new multifunction layout tool made of tough polystyrene that'll make a nice addition to your tool pouch.
The Spectra Precision Laser (model HV101) from Trimble is an all-purpose, horizontal- or vertical-mount layout tool for interior and general construction applications.
The Borescope System (model DCS1500) from General Tools Instruments is a compact, rechargeable video camera that enables real-time viewing, still photography, or recording high-resolution video inside walls and other difficult-to-reach areas.
Trimble's new wireless LM80 Layout Manager delivers real-time, two-way data transfer between jobsite and office.
If a speed square is a framer's go-to layout tool, Malco's Sider is the equivalent for vinyl-siding installers.
Sized to fit in a shirt pocket, the Leica Disto D2 is the smallest distance meter available and the simplest to use, says the manufacturer.
The self-leveling PLS5 point-to-point laser has been updated.
Earlier this year, I bought Stanley's FatMax laser measuring device — mostly because I liked its price.
As a remodeler, not a day goes by that I don't have to do some kind of plumb or level layout.

It might be a bit of an injustice to the four other lovely, but greener, ladies in this big-boob vid to place them alongside Tory Lane. She so easily overshadows everyone else with her ferocious energy that it's practically a one-woman show. Lane's theory is: if her partner's not filling all her holes, she'll do it herself . and she's not afraid to get messy about it.
Still, the other scenes hold their own, although less powerfully, with Claire Dames making good use of standing positions and 36D-endowed Carolyn Reese oiling up her tits for Talon's cock to slide between. Whitney Stevens does a sultry tease and titty fuck, though partner Mark Wood's endless moaning gets distracting at time. It's Lane who steals the show, though . vibing her twat during anal, fingering her asshole, and choking herself, all the while delivering come-ons that might make even the most hardcore porn fan blush.
Pre-Nom Tory Lane for Female Performer Of the Year.
Retailing: Tory Lane turns this vid up to eleven.

Wall Street's fab five: House members, candidates most reliant on funding from finance industry
June 1, 2016 | This post has been updated. Hedge fund and other private equity managers have created a huge imbalance in the campaign finance picture with their massive contributions to super PACs.

Two Years After Mine Disaster, Coal Lobby Is Still Growing
April 5, 2012 | Two years ago today, the Upper Big Branch mine exploded, killing 29 miners and injuring two others. In the months after, it became clear that the mine's owner, Massey Energy, had flouted safety regulations and tried to game the system. Now its CEO is gone and the company's been sold -- but the coal industry is only spending more on politicians and lobbyists.
Energy Giant Alpha Natural Resources Agrees to Mine Disaster Settlement
December 6, 2011 | The parent company of Massey Energy has agreed to pay a $209 million settlement for its subsidiary's role in the Upper Big Branch explosion that killed 29 miners in a West Virginia coal mine last year. Alpha, which became the second-largest U.S. coal company when it purchased Massey in January, has greatly increased its spending on lobbying and contributions to politicians in recent years.

Sorry to sound incredibly ignorant, but I am...at least in math anyway. What does this symbol: $\int$ mean?
This is the symbol for integration. You may have seen it in Calculus. For example, $$ \int x \, dx = \frac{1}{2}x^2 + C $$
It is the symbol for the Integral; it is a stylized 'S' because the concept of the integral is a related to the Sum, which starts with S. (the mathematical symbol for Sum is a capital sigma, ∑ -- which is S in the traditional Grek alphabet from which mathematics borrows so many symbols.)

Drop in tonight, Friday 9pm, for the Inside Track to hear Daniel Bachman's newest LP, Jesus I'm A Sinner: the follow up to last year's acclaimed 'Seven Pines'. It was recorded in Rappahannock County Virginia at Forrest Marquisee's studio inside his father's woodshop in May of 2013 after spending 8 months on the road.

This Sunday's Broken Music will focus on a great new collection of previously hard-to-find recordings of the seminal Greek composer Michael Adamis. Born in 1929, Adamis is one of the most important Greek composers/musique-concrete artists of the 20th Century whose early career focused on attempting to reconcile traditional Byzantine musical traditions with contemporary 'Western' composition techniques. Tune in from 2-3pm as we explore the criminally underexposed electroacoustic recordings of Adamis's early works.
This Sunday from 5 to 6, tune in to Fusion Youth Radio! This month the high school students of FYR will be discussing North Carolina Politics.

There will also be a live interview with poet and FYR member, Brantise.
On this week's Sports Rap expect a lot of friends and a lot of college basketball talk. Questions might include: who's the best freshman in the country, what teams have the best chance at a national championship, what can UNC expect, and as always, who am I?

They've collected nine of Onyeabor's tracks recorded from 1977 to 1983. Onyeabor quit music permanently after becoming a born-again Christian, but before he did he released a lot of sunny, synth-heavy Afro-funk in a style similar to one of his contemporaries, Francis Bebey.

This Week In WXYC
FRIDAY NIGHT INSIDE TRACK 9 PM. THIS WEEK: Tartit with Imharhan, Live from the Sahara. Live recording from Saharan desert-guitar blues group Tartit along with a track by another group, Imharhan and two awesome electric collabs at the end. The stringed Tehardent, Imzad violin, and West African percussion instrument the Tinde are both played here alongside vocal rounds, for sure, but these pieces of music are a reaction to the droughts and rebellions of the past 50 years, not merely a product of centuries-old tradition. Fans of the guitars from Agadez series will dig the last two tracks, but everything on here is great!
Tune in tonight to the New Science Experience from 10 to Midnight to hear a broadcast of Ital's live performance last week at the Nightlight! It was a killer show and will be sure to tear your Friday night to pieces. Catch opener $tinkworkx as well! Lovely outsider techno for your evening.
Tune in to The Orange County Special from 10 am to 1 pm on Sunday for a chance to win! It's the first Sunday of the month, and we've got three pairs of ArtsCenter tickets to give away this week, one for each of these shows:
The Quiet American with Adam Hurt & Beth Hartness (Friday, November 8)
The Tune Tramp Celebration with Erynn Marshall & Friends (Friday November 22)
John Gorka (Saturday, November 23)
For full info about these, and other ArtsCenter shows, go to http://www.artscenterlive.org/
Tune in at 1 PM for Hell Or High Water. This week DJ Kiever will be taking a dive into Wilson Library's Southern Folklife Collection and dig up some really neat recordings. Listen in for traditional talk, tunes and friends.
This week on Broken Music from 2-3 PM join me to hear some brand new releases from two women working in the tradition of "musique concrete." First, a 40-minute release from Olivia Block entitled Karren. Karren is an explosion of acousmatic sound, metallic clangs, shredding feedback, creaking doors. Following this will hear the first ever release from Katie Gately, a young woman from out west who makes a type of "musique concrete pop." Maybe a little too poppy for the traditional Broken Music sensibilities, but Gately's sounds show how seemingly at odds music can function together perfectly. Check it out!
Tune into the Backyard BBQ at 8 PM to catch up with your lovely host Lincoln and explore all types of Chapel Hill and greater Triangle music. Rock! (and more!)
Turn on the radio at 9 PM to hear Sports Rap, the sports show that isn't afraid to ask "Who am I?" Basketball, football, tennisball, they've got it! Join Reilly, Sarah and co for some thoughtful and information talk on recent sports activity!
Tune in on Monday night for Outside Track with the new release from The Necks. This Australian trio indulges in long-form, repetitive, contemplative jazzy explorations and they are one of the best bands in the world (I mean it). They've been at it for more than 2 decades and Open is just another masterpiece for their catalogue. Shimmering piano phrases alongside droning, deeply textured percussion alongside devastating one-note statements from an upright bass.
This week, on Should Does Does Radio, we're talking to storyteller Brian Sturm and then sitting back and enjoying a story. Also up is the next installment of a serial story and a sound collage that's from all over the country, and beyond. Wednesday night 10-Midnight!

This Week In WXYC
It is generally agreed that the month of October best captures the ethos of WXYC. We kick off this sacred time with the following:
Turn on the radio tonight at 9 PM to hear the Inside Track. This week we are featuring the brand-new, explosive release from Daniel Lopatin AKA Oneohtrix Point Never, R Plus Seven. Lopatin has come a long way since his mid-aughts cosmic synth explorations (which rule); nowadays he is working with intense, sample-based collage ruminations. Stop by for some vocal manipulation and post-modern indulgence.
Kick off your weekend with 2 hours of sweaty, grooving, and DEEP rhythms on the New Science Experience, Friday nights from 10 to midnight. This week tune in for two one hour long sets from DJs Nate and Trevyn. Dance!
On this week's Orange County Special, we'll be initiating a monthly ArtsCenter ticket giveaway. Listeners will have a chance to win tickets to see/hear/enjoy Down Hill Strugglers (with The Hushpuppies) on Thursday, October 10th. We'll also be giving away a pair of tix to see The Jon Shain Trio, on the 11th. More info on events at the Carrboro ArtsCenter can be found at http://artscenterlive.org
This week on Hell Or High Water, to follow up last week's Sacred Harp, Zach G will be doing a second series on "harp" music, featuring the Autoharp, with selected cuts from "Mountain Music Played on the Autoharp" as well as songs from autoharpist and singer Bryan Bowers. Tune in on Sunday at 1pm!
At 2pm, Broken Music explores the electroacoustic works of French composer Jacques Lejeune. A student of PIerre Schaeffer and François Bayle, Lejeune joined the GRM in 1968, soon leading their "music for images" department. His works follow the trajectory of electroacoustic music from tape composition to synthesis and computer music. Since 1978, Lejeune has taught musique concrete composition through a partnership between the INA-GRM and the Town of Paris.
This Sunday on the Backyard BBQ we are pleased to have Scott Endres (MAKE, Sons, Hem Of His Garment) talking with us about the new release from his solo project The Pod. Join him and host Lincoln as they play a couple of tracks off of "Faded Memory From A Dying Sun" and discuss the finer things in life such as show tunes, rabbits, kale, Lucky Charms, Newt Gingrich, Faygo, Pop Rocks, Number Theory, the otherness of Detroit, and other sundries. It should be a real hootenanny! Tune in at 8 PM to experience resonant tones and laughter. We will even play music. Thumbs up!
From 9-10PM tune in for Sports Rap as hosts Reilly F, Sarah H, and Ryan S investigate the good, the evil, the profound, and the absurd of sports. This week: Condoleezza Rice on the college football playoff selection committee, football, football, football. Listen live and tweet (@dunksbutts), facebook, or call-in to give your thoughts! Slam dunk!
Grace your Monday with the Outside Track at 9 PM. This week you'll hear Promised Land Sound, a baby-aged garage rock from Nashville who wowed label boss Brendan of Paradise of Bachelors when he saw them live. They have a certain je ne sais quoi that makes them a can't miss up and coming rock band.
Tune in Wednesday night from 9-10 PM to catch the lovely literati of Should Does Does Radio. Personal anecdotes, ruminations on childhood, local issues, Dungeons and Dragons, falling in love, it's all there on SDDR!

This Week In WXYC
The Harvest Moon has come and we have made the appropriate sacrifices to the radio gods. Feast upon our crop:
Friday night beckons you with the Inside Track. Tune in this week at 9 PM for the new record Yessir Whatever by Quasimoto. The third album from Quasimoto, Madlib's helium-infused identity, is a collection of tracks compiled from across a twelve-year period. Included are raps from Lord Quas and a deeper-pitched Madlib, fluttering synths, easy-listening soul and jazz samples, and druggy skit interludes.
Tune in every Friday night from 10-12 PM for WXYC's own dance-orientated music exploration, the New Science Experience. Tonight, join WXYC DJ Andy S as he takes us on a guided tour of deep space for your listening pleasure.
Tune in on Sunday at 1 PM for Hell Or High Water! This week DJ Kiever will focus on banjo music from Appalachia. Being such an isolated region, the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky have been a cradle that has nurtured bluegrass for generations. Steeping for centuries, the music to come out of these hills makes your bones ache for some good ole mountain dew. I'll focus on the more popular banjo pickers to come out of Kentucky like Roscoe Holcomb and Buell Kazee, but will also pay delicate attention to other lesser known artists
Broken Music this week will feature Ólafur Arnald's recent album For Now I am Winter. His third main release, For Now I am Winter, deals with the idea of hope and "that no matter how bad things seem, there is always light at the end of the tunnel...For Now I am Winter is asserting that the winter is never forever". With lyrics written and performed by Arnór Dan of Agent Fresco, Ólafur Arnald's major label debut delivers captivating sonically dense and diverse, yet minimalist musical pieces.
WXYC Reports is proud to announce our first show of the semester and first ever *live* show! This Sunday, from 5-6pm, we will be exploring the beautiful and mysterious territory of M E M O R Y.

Get weird on Monday with the Outside Track. This week features a new release from Belgian label Sub Rosa entitled Correspondences by Daniel Aspuru/Mauricio Montero/Steven Brown. This is the latest chapter in Sub Rosa's 'New Series Framework' which focuses on a 'transductor eolico', a massive, semi-autonomous recording device created by Oaxaca-based composer Aspuru. The TE absorbs source material and manipulates its sound leading a set of intricate jazzy and way-out-there improvisations which, on some of the tracks, are paired with vocals.
Tune in on Wednesday night at 9 PM to hear musings of local literati and true creative nerds on Should Does Does Radio. Should Does revels in variety, so tune in for an eclectic and fun/not fun experience!

This Week In WXYC
Hey friends. I hope you are excited for this week of programming. We have some returning shows that looking pretty neat! Check it out:
Tune into the Inside Track at 9 PM tonight Swedish electro vets Frak offer up their best record to date with pleasureful and aggressive robot thumps expertly tempered with chilled out and intentionally stark percussive work. Fantastic amalgram of freaked out electro a la Crème or Clone Records, churning house music and light industrial sounds, with almost no filler whatsoever.
Tonight on the New Science Experience DJ's Rob and Trev will be working the ones and twos exploring the WXYC library. From ten tomidnight they'll be spinning the classics and unearthing the oddities -- all for your aural pleasure!
This week on Hell or High Water, you'll be hearing Hawaiian Steel Guitar Classics 1927-1938, a collection of the best lap steel players Hawai'i had to offer. Featuring unreleased tracks from revivalist Bob Brozman's private collection, the album contains both virtuosic playing and a fun tropical vibe. Be prepared to listen and dance along Sunday from 1-2 pm!
This week's Broken Music will feature the first of a two part series featuring the Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) recordings compiler Michael Esposito. For over 30 years the Chicago-based Esposito has captured allegedly paranormal communications from locations all over the world, including Jim Morrison's gravesite and a number of haunted buildings. This week's show will highlight Esposito's collaborative recordings of processed EVP materials with artists like CM Von Hausswolf, Leif Elggren, FM Einheit, Kommissar Hjuler, John Duncan and others.
Tune in at 8 PM on Sunday for the Backyard BBQ with your lovely host Lincoln! Catch up with your buddy as his spins some familiar and forgotten local tracks for your viewing pleasure. VIVA LA TRIANGLE.

Don't forget about the Outside Track at 9 PM on Monday! Tune in this week for this week's release from Richard Youngs, Summer Through My Mind. Described by Youngs as his "country album", this release is strictly composed of acoustic guitar-playing with occasional slide overdubs. Youngs' vocals are familiarly crooning and his lyrical content ranges from somber to uplifting to wistful.

This Week in WXYC
Happy Friday friends. We just hired SEVENTEEN NEW DJS. Very exciting! Very fun. Be sure to tune in between the hours of 3-8 AM to hear them find their way through the radio waves. Otherwise, enjoy our weekly programming for the coming days!
Tonight starting at 9 PM tune in for a super special 3 hours of radio on WXYC! From 9-Midnight DJs Caroline, JJ, and Grant will be spinning tunes exclusively from artists featured at this year's Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh. We will be giving our thoughts on artists we especially love, sharing experiences from previous Hopscotch Festivals, and generally gushing about this killer event. Rock, Drone, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Experimental, Folk, Rock. Tune in!
This week on Hell or High Water, Gina B will be playing the music of Kinky Friedman, a Jewish Texas country singer and humorist. Prepare to laugh and/or be shocked! One of Friedman's most famous numbers, "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore" is about beating up a drunken white racist. However, lest you think Kinky's politics are easily pigeon-holed, another song, "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed," lampoons feminism and caused a huge, concert-ending fight at a show in New York. Regardless of your views, I encourage you to tune in at 2pm on Sunday for this unique hour of radio!
This Sunday, Broken Music concludes its August series on Belgian experimental music by looking at works produced at the Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music in Ghent. 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the IPEM. Founded by Belgian Radio and Television and the State University of Ghent, the IPEM's electronic workshop was created as both a creative studio and a research institution. Over the hour, we'll hear works from the IPEM's first director Louis de Meester, along with David Van de Woestijne, Stefan Beyst, Helmut Lachenmann, Peter Beyls, Raoul De Smet, and several others. Tune in at 2pm.
Tune in Sunday night at 8 PM to welcome your new Backyard BBQ host Lincoln. Lincoln has been around in the Triangle music scene for longer than I have been alive, so give him a warm welcome. Join Lincoln to hear some records from local bands who will be performing at next week's Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh. Check it out!
Tune in at 5 PM on Sunday to hear Fruit Smoothie! This week, Rachel explores local art through an interesting medium: The record label. Rachel will be in the studio with Brendan from the local record label Paradise of Bachelors to talk about what a record label does, what it means for the community, and what kind of fruit smoothie Brendan likes.
On Sports Rap this week it's all football! We'll be reviewing Thursday's game and looking ahead, talking about the NFL's concussion deal and Johnny Manziel's suspension. Join us at 9 PM on Sunday and call in! Slam Dunk!
At 9 pm on Monday night on the Outside Track we'll be exploring Julianna Barwick's new release, Nepenthe, out now on Dead Oceans. Barwick's third full-length LP (not including her 2011 collaboration with Ikue Mori) finds her continuing to explore her own voice's harmonic potential in echoing, highly resonant atmospheres.

I have recently been trying to <?php?> my way into outputting links on the main page for enclosures. At issue is the fact that if an enclosure value is called (as either an array or a string with
get_post_custom_values or
get_post_meta, respectively) it returns all the information regardless of line breaks. This of course nullifies links since it includes the filesize and mimetype. I know it's possible to parse the line breaks or otherwise the "
url= length= type=" in the feed itself would be impossible.
...but I have no idea how to do such a thing.

Security, anonymity, and scalability are important issues for mobile ad hoc network routing protocols, especially in private-vital practical applications. Although there are several papers on anonymous secure routing in mobile ad hoc networks, few research works can achieve sufficient anonymity and strong security, and at the same time provide good scalability. Therefore, in this paper, we present a new distributed anonymous secure routing protocol with good scalability for mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol addresses the problems of anonymous routing and later anonymous data transmission via a dynamic identity pseudonymity approach based on Incomparable Public Keys. Good scalability is achieved by using Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme and symmetric key cryptography, instead of public key cryptography. In comparison with other previous anonymous secure routing protocols, the proposed protocol not only has strong security and sufficient anonymity protection, but also provides better scalability.

When should I create a new Primary DNS Zone?
When should I create a new Forward Lookup Zone (primary zone) in my Active Directory DNS?
Since the option exists, I'm sure there are cases where it must be useful. And yet, it seems like most domains work just fine with the default single-zone configuration.
I've run into a few scenarios where it seems like a separate DNS zone could be useful, but I've never actually done so. So even if it's not required, could it be sometimes recommended?
- Multiple physical sites and a single domain. For a network that spans multiple physical offices, a DNS zone could be set up for each office. It should be easy to set up with Group Policy, but this might cause problems resolving DNS for roaming users.
- Wireless LAN. Having a separate DNS zone for wired/wireless interfaces would enable you to choose whether you connect to the wired or wireless interface on a client (remote admin).
- Split-horizon DNS. If there are internal servers that need to be accessed from both inside and outside the office network, then split-horizon DNS would allow the names to resolve to either internal/external IP addresses depending on where the client is connecting from.
For these scenarios (and others?) I am looking for the pros/cons of adding a new primary zone, and I'm also interested to know whether anybody has encountered this in a production network.


text: I'm trying to figure out how to redirect requests from my old permalink structure (http://boison.org/depths/YYYY/MM/DD/%post_name%/) to my new (http://boison.org/archive/%post_name%). I've looked at several URL rewriting tutorials, but I'm really confused. This wouldn't be an issue had I not noticed that Technorati has the old structure indexed. Does anyone have ideas as to how to go about doing this?

I have an AppDomain that I'm using to load modules into a sandbox with:
class PluginLoader
public static AppDomain PluginSandbox;
static PluginLoader()
AppDomainSetup ads = new AppDomainSetup();
ads.ApplicationName = "Plugin Modules";
PermissionSet trustedLoadFromRemoteSourceGrantSet =
new PermissionSet(PermissionState.Unrestricted);
PluginSandbox =
AppDomain.CreateDomain("Plugin App Domain",
null, ads, trustedLoadFromRemoteSourceGrantSet);
And then later on, I'll pull in the DLL I need and create an object instance:
public IPlugin FindPlugin(string pluginName)
ObjectHandle handle =
"Plugins." + pluginName);
IPlugin ip = (IPlugin)handle.Unwrap();
return ip;
I run through this a couple of times with no problems. Getting instances of various objects out in the Sandbox, with no problems.
A bit later in the code, in another method, I need to find the assembly to get an embedded resource (a compiled in data file, with ManifestResource). So I call:
Assembly [] ar = PluginSandbox.GetAssemblies();
And the error gets thrown:
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException'
occurred in PluginRunner.dll.
Additional information: Could not load file or assembly '10wl4qso,
Version=1.0.3826.25439, culture info=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I'm not surprised. '10wl4qso' isn't the name of the assembly, the dll, or anything like it. In fact it seems pseudo-random for each run. Plus the added fun of
GetAssemblies isn't even documented to throw this exception.
Now I can call
GetAssemblies right after I get the initial object just fine, and everything is peachy. But a couple of seconds later, in a different method I get this. Being remoted, PluginSandbox has no useful information at all in the debugger.
I'm catching UnhandledException and DomainUnload on the AppDomain and neither is being triggered.
Why does my AppDomain suddenly not know about its assemblies? Where's that garbage data coming from? What can I do to prevent either/both of these from happening?

BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) -- Authorities says an inspection of a tractor trailer near the Alabama coast turned up duffel bags stuffed with more than $1.4 million in cash.
Reports say the truck was stopped on Interstate 65 in Baldwin County during commercial vehicle inspections by the Interstate Interdiction Task Force.
Authorities say officers were given permission to search the truck by the driver Thursday and they found the four duffel bags filled with cash stashed in the vehicle's sleeper compartment. They money was seized and taken to a bank for counting, then turned over to federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for forfeiture.
Officials say the truck driver said he didn't know whose cash it was or how they money got in his truck.

Hi there,
I'm working on http://dianeelevin.com/wp/ (Suffusion theme).
The last time I logged in in Nov. everything was fine, but today I got a blank screen when I tried to access the admin area through http://dianeelevin.com/wp/wp-admin/. There are no error messages.
I tried everything on the "Login Trouble" codex except altering the user table, because I think it's too risky with my level of skill/knowledge to go into the database.
I know I probably have to alter something in one of the php files and upload it via FTP to get the admin interface to work again, but how can I figure out what's causing the malfunction?
I'm on a deadline to finish this site and have no way of working on it, so I really appreciate your help!

Stopping power: 20 rounds PMC® Gold Starfire Hollow Point Ammo. The ultimate personal defense round!Revolutionary design results in deep penetration and outstanding stopping power! The secret is the patented rib-and-flute hollow point cavity design... it spreads, peels, and expands upon impact.
Fore more than a decade, StarfireTM high-performance cartridges have been chosen as the primary means of personal defense by thousands of consumers. Pistol Hunting with Starfire is the brainchild of Tom Burczynski, the "dean" of high-performance handgun bullet designers and a front runner in the new era of advanced bullet design. The key to success is the broad, extremely reliable expansion inherent in each Starfire caliber. Crated by a patented rib and flute design inside the deep, hollow-point cavity, the bullet hyper-expands to nearly twice its original diameter upon impact, delivering tremendous stopping power on target. Starfire's average penetration of 9-14 inches translates to more energy expended on the target and less wasted on landscape downrange.
While the bullet design of all Starfire cartridges facilitates smooth and reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns, the bullet gives and propellant impulse of the 9mm Starfire have been specifically engineered to provide trouble-free, completely reliable feeding in fully automatic weapons. This enables the use of high-performance hollow-point cartridges that feed just as dependably as ball aluminum when the full-auto setting is necessary.
Getting within range of big game with a handgun takes considerable effort and skill. When you get there, you need to have confidence that your ammunition is going to get the job done accurately, powerfully, reliably. Starfire earns perfect scores in all three criteria.
Defend yourself right:
- Current production
- Brass-cased
- Reloadable
- Boxer-primed.
- Cartridge: .40 Smith & Wesson Ammo
- Bullet Weight: 180 Grain
- Bullet Style: SFHP
- Muzzle Velocity (F.P.S.): 985
- Muzzle Energy (Ft.-lbs.): 388
