SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - An atheist group plans to replace a
sign that disappeared from the Illinois Capitol and will add a
Biblical warning this time: "Thou Shall Not Steal."
The sign displayed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation referred to religion as "myth and superstition" and stood near a Nativity scene sponsored by a local group.
The apparent theft from the Capitol's rotunda overnight Monday was reported to police.
An identical sign in Washington state was stolen and recovered, and one in Wisconsin was vandalized.
The replacement Illinois sign and the Nativity scene soon will be joined by a Hanukkah menorah to mark the Jewish holiday.

Laboratory notebooks
Document your procedures, observations and conclusions, and help protect your intellectual property by keeping a record of your research in a University of Sydney printed lab notebook.
Bulk orders have closed for 2016.
Lab notebooks are available to purchase in single units only from the SRC bookshop.
You might also like to consider using an electronic notebook.
Why keep a research notebook?
Scientific, engineering and technical work often leads to a new result, idea or way of doing things. International best practice is to keep a laboratory notebook in which you record each step of your journey, including your intentions, propositions, dead ends, changes in direction, as well as your successes.
How to complete your notebook
The laboratory notebook is carefully designed to assist you to keep records properly. The following guide will enable you to use your notebook correctly.
Making entries into your notebook
It is a good idea to make a record of preparatory work in your notebook, including a list of papers that you have read and searches you have undertaken. Where searches have been conducted using the Internet, record the addresses of sites reviewed and the keyword combinations used.
When work has begun on your research you will need to enter into your notebook details of the work that has been performed. Consider the details below when making your entries:
- Entries should be contemporaneous and in chronological order with no empty spaces.
Note: If you want to leave an empty space put a diagonal line through it.
- Entries should be made in permanent ink and attachments should be pasted into the book so that they cannot be removed.
Note: Attachments include experimental results, printouts, receipts and purchase orders.
- Entries should have no erasures or pages removed.
Note: Material can be crossed out provided it remains legible and reasons are given.
- Entries should not be changed in any way.
Note: Material may be changed provided reasons are stated and the date of the original entry, later deletion, comment or change is clear.
- Entries should be entered in turn even if related information arises at different times.
Note: You should not leave a space in anticipation of later results, but enter results in turn and cross-reference to each other.
- Entries should be detailed as necessary for someone technically competent to understand it.
- Entries should record the contribution of other persons involved.
- You, and an independent witness, should sign and date each page of the book as it is completed and each attachment when it is inserted.

The Strategic Positioning of Store Brands in Retailer--Manufacturer Negotiations
Store brands are the only brands for which the retailer is responsible not only for promotion, shelf placement, and pricing, but also for positioning the brand in product space. We argue that retailers strongly value control over store brand positioning because they will be unable to source a national brand with their desired product positioning. This is because retailers have an incentive to position store brands as close substitutes to leading national brands -- a location in product space which other national brand manufacturers would not find profitable. We present empirical evidence that is consistent with the results of our model.

Memo To Obama: Canada Can't Reduce The Climate Impacts of Keystone Pipeline With Rip-Offsets
I think President Obama's big climate speech last week makes it less likely he will approve the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline from Canada. The National Journal's Amy Harder argues the reverse in a piece Monday, "The president set the stage for moving forward with the controversial pipeline in his landmark speech on climate change.
Before I give her reasons and mine — and why I think her specific scenario for approval is unlikely — let me deal with one potentially worrisome part of her piece:
"Our national interest will only be served if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," Obama said forcefully, prompting loud cheers from the audience of several hundred climate-minded people. "The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward."
Environmentalists cheered Obama's new "test" for the pipeline. They maintain that there isn't a way Obama could approve the project since its impact will surely "significantly exacerbate" climate change. People close to the White House read it differently.
"I think it was a clear signal to the Canadians to come to the table and put a good-faith program out there that could provide the kind of net reductions beyond anyone's doubt that would allow Obama to proceed," said a source close to the Obama administration who would speak on the condition of anonymity only.
There are no "net reductions beyond anyone's doubt" that could offset the multiple climate impacts from building the pipeline:
- Tar sands are considerably more energy intensive to extract and refine than typical crude oil
- "Tar sands will cause even more climate pollution than we previously thought due to the impacts of the high carbon byproduct petroleum coke."
- "Oil sands mining and reclamation cause massive loss of peatland and stored carbon."
- Tar sands development threatens the carbon-rich boreal forests.
The only thing beyond any doubt is that KXL would be far more destructive to the climate than the State Department has let on, a key reason why both the EPA and major environmental groups have asked State to redo its environmental impact statement.
As someone who written extensively about rip-offsets, there simply are no plausible set of actions that Canada could undertake to offset the impact of the tar sands.
Keystone is a gateway to a huge pool of carbon-intensive fuel most of which must be left in the ground — along with most of the world's coal and unconventional oil and gas –- if humanity is to avoid multiple devastating impacts that may be beyond adaptation.
Yes, while I did not like the massive amount of offsets in the Waxman-Markey climate bill, I still supported that bill. But that's because I expected the price of carbon to be lower than that of most offsets — a view vindicated by the recent drop in U.S. CO2 emissions — and because the offsets would've taken place under a U.S. carbon cap.
Without a cap, there's really no way of knowing that a certain offset, like shutting down a coal plant, wouldn't have been necessitated by whatever cap a nation needs to be part of the global effort to avert catastrophe.
But Canada has no carbon cap. So nothing Canada does to reduce its non-tar-sands emissions can plausibly be called a genuine offset.
Remember that an 80% to 95% reduction by 2050 vs. 1990 levels is the target that the IPCC believes the rich countries (Annex I) should adopt if the goal is to stabilize at 450 ppm CO2-eq or around 2°C (3.6°F) total warming above preindustrial levels. I discussed the science underlying this at length a few years ago. Here's the key chart from the full Working Group III report (Box 13.7, page 776):
So Canada and the United States need to make very deep reductions in total greenhouse gas emissions within four decades if our aim is, as Obama put it, "sheltering future generations against the ravages of climate change." So Canada can't offset KXL with domestic reductions it would have to make anyway.
The only offset that could preserve a livable climate would be setting off the tar sands as a permanent no-development zone.
Based on his very strong moral case against climate inaction, Obama appears to understand that. Secretary of State John Kerry certainly does.
I find Amy Harder's scenario for Keystone approval implausible:
Based on conversations with administration insiders, here's how I envision the final act of the long-running Keystone drama playing out:
Secretary of State John Kerry, who counts combatting climate change as one of his lifelong passions, will recommend to President Obama that he should not approve the pipeline, which would send 35 million gallons of oil every day over 1,700 miles from Alberta's carbon-heavy oil sands to Gulf Coast refineries. Obama will decide to approve the project, in large part because he will have secured commitments from Canada to do more to reduce its carbon emissions.
Obama will publicly repudiate Kerry, akin to how Obama publicly repudiated Lisa Jackson, his first Environmental Protection Agency administrator, two years ago when she asked the White House to let her move forward on a stronger smog standard. On the Friday before Labor Day 2011, Obama announced that he was delaying the standard because of economic concerns.
It is entirely possible that Obama will approve Keystone — but this scenario seems quite unlikely. If Kerry disapproves Keystone, it will be on climate grounds, and Obama couldn't repudiate his Secretary of State on that since Kerry is a long-time climate champion. Also, it would cut Kerry off at the knees for any international negotiation. What foreign leader would believe anything Kerry says or promises on climate change once Obama repudiates him on the single most important international climate decision he had to make?
Finally, it's not Obama who would secure commitments from Canada — it would be his Secretary of State. And, again, there simply are no credible offsets at this point. Carbon capture and storage for tar sands hasn't even been demonstrated, let alone shown to be practical or permanent at a large scale. Any "commitments" would be close to meaningless, the diplomatic version of "the check is in the mail."
Harder writes:
To the surprise of everyone outside the White House, Obama mentioned the pipeline in his speech. It was a politically savvy move for three reasons: 1) He called out the elephant in the room and thus avoided both criticism from groups like the Sierra Club and the subsequent media coverage of his omission; 2) He took ownership of the issue, showing everyone on every side of the fight he is personally involved; and 3) He shifted the debate over the pipeline from one of economics to one about the effects on climate change.
I agree with #2 and #3 — which is precisely why I think the speech makes it less likely he will approve Keystone. Obama owns KXL and he's said the deciding factor is climate, not economics. As a new Scientific American article sums things up, "If built, the Keystone XL pipeline will be a spigot that speeds tar sands production, pushing the planet toward its emissions limit."
As for #1, well, there wasn't much media coverage to speak of and if Obama were truly savvy, he would have realized that the speech was incredibly poorly timed to get serious coverage, what with landmark Supreme Court decisions and NSA leakers on the run.
And folks who have been around Washington politics a lot longer than I have think it would be very un-savvy to spend so much time laying out a strong moral case for climate action and then bringing up Keystone IF the president is planning on approving it. He would have been far better off not talking about Keystone at all in that case. As it is now, he will rightfully be called an extreme hypocrite if he ultimately opens the spigot to the dirty tar sands.
There's no question Obama could approve Keystone, but I believe the smart money has shifted from betting he will to betting he won't.
51 Responses to Memo To Obama: Canada Can't Reduce The Climate Impacts of Keystone Pipeline With Rip-Offsets
I think Obama is inviting Canada to put some more safety measures, offsets, whatever they have, to get the project approved. I think he is drawing the process out like he did before the election. He is going to try to play them until the project sinks of it's own weight and bad economics. I wouldn't expect a final decision this year, maybe not even next year. Instead there will be requests for more information, more beefing up of the safety, more guarantees etc and even Kerry's decision won't come this year. Time is on Obama's side, as climate effects will just get worse and worse and more and more obvious, and they know it.
Memo to Hillary
MEMO to (Hillary) Clinton: Please make clear your position on, and degree of commitment to boldly address, climate change.
YOU SEE, many Democratic leaders and pundits, including at least some of those at CAP, are already crowning you with the Democratic nomination for president in 2016. The list includes Nancy Pelosi, Chris Matthews, and many, many others. Many are outwardly explicit about their enthusiasm for that fact, while many others convey their views matter-of-factly and without passion, but nevertheless take it for granted that you'll be The One, to the point that this view shapes their attitudes and actions. It could be said that some are simply "resigned" to what seems a fact, as they see it.
That said, on the other hand, there are those of us, in growing numbers, who are serious about climate change but who sense that there is a problem with all this. We ask, "Shouldn't we understand her position with respect to climate change, and the strength of her commitment to address it, and related matters, in concrete and believable terms BEFORE we crown her with the nomination, in effect?" We ask, "Shouldn't we make sure that the next president we put into office is someone who will actually lead, boldly, to address climate change, someone who our activism can actually complement and help, someone we can work with side by side, rather than someone who our activism must be aimed AT in order to get him/her to hesitantly and inadequately do the things that we imagined he/she would eagerly do when we nominated and elected him?"
We hope you can understand, and we apologize that we feel we must ask — for the sake of future generations — these pesky and inconvenient questions. But we have the questions; you've given us great reason to have them. For example — and I hope you can understand our position — it was your State Department that gave a glowing endorsement of the Keystone XL pipeline. And so forth and so on.
But in any case, we would (and will) ask the very same questions to all would-be nominees. And we will ask for forthright, clear, and concrete answers, offered willingly rather than provided only grudgingly and vaguely. It is only responsible for us to do so, and it would be irresponsible for us not to.
So again, we feel we must ask — and get the answers to — these sorts of questions well before we are willing to give you our support to be our next nominee. Frankly, we don't want to end up being in the same position four years from now that we find ourselves in today. We learn lessons from history, and from our own past actions. As the Who said (roughly speaking), We would prefer not to be fooled again.
And, it occurs to us that we aren't posing these questions (about climate change, your positions on it, your commitment to addressing it, and at least roughly, how you would propose to do so) to someone who hasn't had plenty of time, and access to plenty of expertise, to familiarize yourself with the matter and consider it carefully. You lived in the White House when Al Gore was V.P. You should know the issue well that he has committed his life to addressing. I'm sure you know the name Hansen. I'm sure you know the name McKibben. I'm sure you've heard of the IPCC. And, you energetically committed to addressing climate change, at least in words, many times while you were running for the Democratic nomination some years ago. And so forth. So, we don't think it unfair or unnecessary on our parts to pose these questions to you and to want clear and concrete answers. You, among all people, should have them by now, especially if you want to be the "leader of the free world" and all that sort of thing.
It's not that we would mind supporting you for the nomination and for president IF you are the right and best person to lead the country to address climate change, and if you can demonstrate that to us as well as possible, and convince us. Most of us would gladly vote for you (despite some other questions that your political record might present to many!) IF it were the case that you would lead, effectively, the U.S. to do our full part to address climate change and help inspire and lead the rest of the world to do the same. Much hinges on it! But you see, we'd like you to demonstrate that willingness, enthusiasm, forthrightness, and ability beforehand — before we just play dead and hand over the crown to you. Again, we hope you can understand.
And, we do have great respect for other potential Democratic nominees, other people who might be equally good, or much better, as leaders in general as well as in their commitment to address climate change. This is what we want to find out. We want to make the best possible choice of a person to nominate. Some names include John Kerry, Elizabeth Warren, or Al Gore. It is not as if you are the Only One, and it is certainly not as if you are the one who has already demonstrated the most wisdom, clarity, energy, and willingness to make tough decisions of the sort that will be necessary to address climate change. Indeed, it might benefit everyone — the American people, the climate movement, the Democratic party, the institutions of science, and the entire world, as well as the other would-be nominees and yourself — to see an energetic Democratic primary process (as well as the months leading up to it) that includes all four of these folks, and others, as would-be nominees: you, Kerry, Warren, and Gore. Imagine, all of you discussing climate change as a top priority and detailing how you would propose to approach it? Just imagine that.
The four of you might even muster the ability to have such debates in adult fashion, treating climate change (and other issues) with the seriousness and honesty they deserve. If you could, you would all greatly exceed (and put to shame) that mess that was called the Republican debates, and at the same time you would do a great service to the world (in terms of the discussion of and focus on climate change) and to the institution of Democracy! Is that too much to ask?
Hence we send you this Memo, trusting that the Center For American Progress will allow it to be included as a comment on its blog, which is dedicated to climate change as well as to the progressive ideals of transparency, openness, honesty, debate, and dialogue.
Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
And have a happy 4th of July tomorrow.
Jeff Huggins
Oops! An Addition to my 'Memo to Hillary', above.
P.S. — In my rush, I neglected to mention Vice President Biden as someone we deeply respect and appreciate. So, to refine my earlier points, wouldn't it be great to see Mr. Biden, you, Mr. Kerry, Ms. Warren, and Mr. Gore all discussing climate change, all forthrightly communicating their positions and degrees of commitment, all willing to discuss and debate the matter, and all running for the nomination in a way that would be beneficial to the entire process and, ultimately, to the world at large?
(Please understand this addition in the context of my earlier message.)
I think if Obama wants to approve it he could always find a way to justify it because the effects of building or not building Keystone are hypothetical conjecture. If one conjectures that if Keystone isn't built the tar sands would still be fully developed then building Keystone makes no difference. On the other hand, if one conjectures that building Keystone is vital to developing the tar sands then Keystone will result in additional emissions.
I think you're right. Time is also on Obama (and the planet's side) because the economics of tar-sand bitumen extraction will get worse with each passing year. The Canadians are boxed in, and their whole enterprise depends on getting out of the box quickly. They are already losing investment money .
There's no quick way for them to get the "oil" to market without the pipeline, and the whole fossil-rotten Canadian government could take a dive if they can't produce the bucks — which is about all they have to offer the the special interests that got them elected in the first place.
They're desperate, and it's actually fun to watch them sweat after having to put up with their arrogance. Eminent domain claims on American farm properties indeed.
I hope you and Phillip are right, Mimi, but the dirty oil can make it to Gulf Coast refineries via existing pipelines, which are being beefed up. Enbridge, which has a terrible safety record, would be the contractor. If need be, they can even ship it by rail.
We'll know our government is willing to take a stand if they assess fees to reflect tar sands' additional carbon footprint and environmental damage, including leaks. They would also strike a blow against the Kochs, who own big refineries in Texas that would be receiving the sludge.
Unfortunately, this is just a dream.
Let us not overlook the policies of the current Canadian government. They have backed out of Kyoto and have no interest in paying anything but mumbled lip-service to the environment. Canadian carbon reductions, even if negotiated, would most likely fall by the wayside.
The pipeline will allow greater extraction and upgrading of bitumen. This will require the burning of more gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas. And, if more bitumen is extracted, more of it will be burned by the end consumer. In other words, it is impossible for this pipeline not to increase emissions.
If the pipeline is built, president Obama loses all credibility on climate change. And, it's "game over" for our climate.
The question is: would the Keystone XL pipeline allow greater extraction of bitumen? Theoretically, the same bitumen could be extracted if other pipelines were built or enhanced, or if bitumen was transported by other means such as railroad. Unless someone has a functioning crystal ball it comes down to opinions. So far the State Department seems to have the opinion that the same bitumen will be extracted whether or not Keystone is built.
So…is Canada doing any offsets for what's ALREADY happening at the tar sands?
While the KXL is undecided is a good time to bring that up, particularly if their available offsets don't cover the existing impacts, without adding in the gross exacerbation of KXL by increased volume.
I am pretty confident that Obama has no intention, nor ever did, of stopping Keystone. His mesmeric hold over the True Believers is a wonder to behold, after five solid years of evidence that EVERYTHING he said in order to get elected was a gigantic laugh, the precise opposite of what he has done while in power.
Once saw admittance of an emeritus professor that milking a goat was something to be learned, that a hammer and crosstip screw were new experiences.
That being disingenuous concerning climate became counterproductive to his new endevors. Certainly, progress toward the truth has its disadvantages. It being difficult to inform a little old lady working in the White House that she personally works to spoil the sandbox for her friends great-grandchildren.such is life and when that little old lady comes to the realization of the truth concerning the Eaarth's energy balance, she may find that the sand box is spoiled and doesn't even like that at all.
'Heads I win, tails you lose', one of the Ruling Caste's favourite dicta.
Well, if Obama does kill KXL Canada will not take it well. They will consider it a shocking slap in the face. They will say, "So the US can export coal but the US will not help us export tar sand oil!" It will not be a good thing for US / Canada relations.
Which is another reason why we shouldn't export coal either!
Jeff, An article today showed the Administration's statement on Power Africa: "Power Africa will build off of "new discoveries of vast reserves of oil and gas". This is one week after his supposed strong speech on protecting the climate. Why would you place any stock in a politician's statement about three years out?
The economics of developing the tar sands have always been dicey. Anything that pushes up costs and reduces the margin is a risk to overall profitability. The big boys in this game are not philanthropists, ME
If we have enough fossil reserves to destroy the biosphere five times over without the Tar Sands, what difference does approval or disapproval of Keystone make?
This is what TransCanada keeps telling us: "La-dee-da, it doesn't make any difference whether you Yanks approve the pipeline…we can always find another way to move the crud."
Bull. If that were the case, they would have dropped the Keystone project years ago. or might not have dreamed it up in the first place. But they are going to great lengths to get it approved and build it. They've tried every trick in the political string-pulling book, including having their secretary of state (equiv.) personally lobby the congress.
Ever wonder why? Maybe it's because using a patchwork of other pipelines and trains would be far more costly than the proposed keystone pipeline, and the whole enterprise is on shaky grounds.
Let's not kid ourselves — it's bad enough that they are trying to kid us.
I think that leaves out one important element BobbyL and that is time.
If the XL expansion, is canceled it would delay a further acceleration of the extraction of the tar sands – which would delay those impacts as well.
At this point any delay we can put in the process preventing further acceleration of our CO2 output is a good thing (this assumes we'll get hold of our brains as climate impacts become worse over the next decade or so eventually leading to serious action, a bit of a long shot, but the only one we have at this point).
Only in the context that this is a decision in the President's hand (he doesn't have to get the fossil fuel bought off House or Senate to do something here) – and canceling the XL would delay further accelerations of our CO2 emissions from tar sands oil.
Any delay in that is one I will take as time is the one thing we don't have nearly enough of (besides action on climate change).
We'll discuss the aftermath of President Obama's climate speech last week as well as the Citizen's Climate Lobby conference in D.C.
Attendee and activist, Elli Sparks joins us to share her experience lobbying members of Congress for a carbon tax, including the ultra-
conservative and influential representative, Eric Cantor! Next, journalist Peter Hart discusses his article for FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting) about what's wrong with some newspaper coverage of climate change, including Obama's speech. And last but not least, environmental activist Carol Misseldine joins us to discuss Green Cities, the positive impact of meat-free diets, and her late environmental hero husband, Charles McGlashan.
Superman1, thanks for pointing out that article, or at least something I can use to search for it. It sounds interesting. OF COURSE I have been as disappointed as anyone by politicians that have said things that weren't sincere or that didn't result in consistent action. Of course! But there are degrees in this. That point doesn't mean that we shouldn't even bother to ask pointed questions of politicians, shouldn't bother to listen to how they answer them, and shouldn't bother to note the different circumstances, and so forth. One key contextual element in these things is whether a politician is willing (and able) to say things clearly that AREN'T merely politically convenient to say, in other words, things that show the politician has some real skin in the game and is willing to say things even when it's inconvenient to do so. And, there are also other circumstances in which what a politician says, and is willing to say, does provide some clue as to whether they have backbone or not, and what priorities they are honoring. In any case, please see the question I posed to you in an earlier post, I think it was the one about the media not covering climate change. Cheers, Jeff
Obviously TransCanada is not going to drop this project. They are already building the southern section. The only thing left is to build the northern section. Considering Obama gave a campaign speech in front of stacked up sections of the southern section it is hard to believe he is not going to approve the northern section. I doubt if he is afraid that the large number of loyal Democrats who have been protesting against the pipeline are going to start voting for the Green Party. It will be quite a surprise if he turns thumbs down on this project, particularly since the polls show that about 70% or more Americans support it.
His speech had to do with the present day climate indicating that action is required to slow the rise of the oceans. He may actually believe that action will be required. That nature will be responsive beyond the feelings of citizens, that nature will be responsive to the forcing of GHG's.
He gave somewhat similar speeches during the 2008 campaign. I don't doubt his sincerity. I think he is sincere about the need to limit global warming. However, I think he believes the most important thing that he can do is get an agreement to cap carbon emissions at the 2015 international climate meeting and isn't all that concerned whether the emissions come from coal, conventional gas, fracked gas, conventional oil, fracked oil, or tar sands oils. I think his concern is the total emissions and not the source. That is only way I can make sense of his policies.
The Canadian argument, which I have heard several times, will be that the carbon emissions from mining the bitumen and shipping it in the pipeline, compared to the emissions from the crude from the most egregious Third-World dictatorships, which have no regard for the environment, who flare rather than capture the associated gas, who use tremendously inefficient methods for handling the oil, whose equipment fleets are poorly maintained and way behind the technological curve, and who ship their crude in bunker-fuel-burning, poorly maintained scows, it's less carbon-intensive.
Of course, if they look at the entire life-cycle, including the GHG content of the diluents, products, and catalysts used to get the bitumen out of the ground and the oil out of the bitumen and into pipeline-ready condition, and the production, handling, and combustion of the byproducts, and deforestation, and remediation, tar sands are still extremely carbon-intensive compared to all but the most willful environmental criminality.
But all they may need, based on Obama's phrasing, is to be able to say they will displace something marginally worse, as circumscribed by a very narrow definition.
I hope I am letting my cynicism run away with me. Actually, I lean toward Obama saying no, but in a way that leaves them room to get to yes.
Ot –
The deniers have mangled yet another paper –
The Title of the paper :
Continental mass change from GRACE over 2002–2011 and its impact on sea level
And it's link :
The paper in question –
From this, Watts is claiming a sea level rise of 7 inches per century .
All the usual suspects are now claiming little or no sea level rise.
Superdude, have you actually seen the industrial wasteland left after tar sands extraction? The tailings ponds can be seen from outer space! They are planning to decimate the largest (the size of Florida)intact Boreal forest remaining on the planet. This is an environmental catastrophe not just a climate change issue.
Hey, I'm Canadian to rope me in with Harper.
The way that Obama effortlessly flits from 'Rope a Hope Dope' Obama with the lofty rhetoric and the moral posturing that convinces the credulati that, at last, he gets it, back to what I believe is the real Obama, the loyal and long-term servant of power, is a wonder to behold. What an actor he might make, after he retires.
Why even mention Watts and its latest travesty? Deny it the oxygen of attention. Just pretend that it doesn't exist, until the trials for crimes against humanity begin. One of the denialists' sneak weapons is the disgust and despondency that their actions induce in decent, sane, moral human beings.
You might like to compare the USA with a couple of countries which are not popular right now. Let's take Bolivia and Iran, but it could be many others. These two have GHG emissions per capita around one third of the USA. Let's not fool ourselves that our hands are clean here.
What America Will Look Like Under 25 Feet Of Seawater
Asking Hillary to speak the words is an extremely low threshold when there are so many opportunities for action or to support the actions of others relative to climate change. Anything that she says at this point would be next to irrelevant. You should be asking here to demonstrate her support. Even that would not be foolproof.
David, yes, the point is to ask her to speak her support (and views and commitment and such) and demonstrate her support. Indeed, demonstrating-by-speaking is a key part of the point. After all, the sort of "demonstration" that we are talking about is not for her to build a solar energy system by hand, on camera, nor is it for her to give a million bucks to a climate change organization (it's easy to give money if you have a lot of it, and it doesn't really demonstrate much, really). Instead, there are circumstances within which, and ways in which, speaking clearly is demonstrating commitment. As one example (but there are others), if she were to come out NOW against Keystone XL — or at least BEFORE President Obama announces his decision — that is the sort of "speech act", as philosophers might call it, that would demonstrate something much more so that mere high-rhetoric in a future campaign. And I could give other examples too. So it is not the case that verbalizing something never "demonstrates" anything, and most of the things that she could do to "demonstrate" something would actually take the form of verbal or written decisions, pronouncements, stated commitments, sincere arguments, speeches, time commitments, and so forth.
That said, I must say, one predominant dynamic here in the comments section is that 99 percent of comments (in response to ideas or offering ideas) have to do with reasons why actionable ideas "won't work". "It'll never work" (so don't even try) is the essence of most of these sorts of comments. It is no wonder that the other side is trouncing us. Instead, we need to adopt an attitude of recognizing potentially good ideas, discussing them positively, improving upon them if possible, and then coalescing around them and putting them into action.
Granted, there are many situations (for example, campaigns during campaign season) in which mere words are often hollow and don't demonstrate much of anything. That is one reason why it's important to start NOW, to ask and challenge and "test" Hillary Clinton (and other would-be nominees) to see what they will say and do NOW to demonstrate their interest in, views regarding, and commitment to addressing climate change.
Thanks for the comment, and cheers,
If it didn't bring great value to the porcess, why would they be spending $1,800,000,000 and going through years of red tape to build it? for the tax benefits?
All the discussions I have heard seem to suggest that if the pipeline is built all other means of transport will be terminated. The pipeline replaces train, truck, ship… This cannot possibly be the case. The pipeling may temporarily replace some other transport but as supply increases they will utilize all non-pipeline means until such time as their economic calculations suggest the need for a new pipeline, which may have already happened.
For the powerful, maintaining and extending power is the first consideration, economics comes next, then environment (maybe). Obama is part of this corporate system. Unfortunately, we are not.
That speaking the truth about global warming is insulting to her, though, is strange and beyond reason.
They lock us in for years of extraction and divert investment from clean energy.
They destroy democracy and promote the petrostate mentality.
Destroy community
The dilutant is a fossil fuel and is being imported from the Middle East and piped transported to Alberta.
Another big destructive foot print!
When the temperatures climb to the level consistent with ten feet of water, we will have no worries; we're toast by then.
That Working Group III chart suggests that it is game over for climate stabilization Keystone or no Keystone. Welcome to the post-game wrap-up…the climate activists gave it the good old college try but came up a little short unable to overcome the powerful team of deniers who had tons of corporate money plus apathy of the general population on their side.
There is no straight-faced way Obama can conclude that rip-offsets can effectively make Keystone climate neutral. No amount of hand-waving can overcome the fatal flaws of that "market" instrument. For the most cogent discussion, see Harvard Law Review.
Face it. Democracy does not work. What is needed is to follow Egypt's example of a military coup.
Then the US military could bomb all the fossil fuel production all over the world and force the masses to live right.
I think the argument has schizophrenic overtones and undertones.
The idea the President Obama will actually take a strong climate change stance as opposed to pretending to do so, I find ridiculous. President Obama has no record of liberalism on the environment other than speech making, but we foolishly keep on hoping rather than pushing.
I think they want to increase the tar sands operation from about 1 million gallons per day to 5 million gallons per day. Keystone would therefore account for about 20% of the proposed increase. Probably the rest would be other pipelines if they can get them approved. Probably rail would be plan B if it is feasible. Perhaps they will take some of the older pipelines out of service if Keystone gets built. I am not sure anyone knows the detailed plans of these pipeline companies.
What in blazes has Bolivia done to deserve being lumped in with the USA? Bolivia led the poor world resistance at Copenhagen to the Western plot to foist the bulk of climate action onto the poor world, and is a leading voice for protecting Nature, particularly on behalf of indigenous peoples.
The reality of the fossil fuel zombocracy is that they will never, ever, give up their 'precious', their money and power. They are quite happy to destroy humanity rather than surrender. Unless and until we recognise an unpleasant fact, that the Right must be defeated, because they will not and, indeed, can not, accept their loss of power, wealth and dominance, we are emulating Sisyphus, and pushing it uphill.

Is there a way to get upload and download speeds in Tmux's status line?
You can call a shell script from tmux's status line, specifying your required interface like so:
And place this script, speed1, in your $PATH:
1. Can't remember where I found this...
I wanted the answer above by jasonwryan to deal with all interfaces so I made this modification:
You can obviously change the wildcard to only do all eth* or wlan* interfaces, or use find to make a more complicated match of the two.
Building on the Above, this should display up and down indicators using ^ and v, use the correct symbol (Ki is binary Kilobytes, etc) change to Mi and Gi as needed, and also display non zero fractional values of one decimal place.

This is a great product for irritated, cracked skin. I wash my hands 50 or more times a day (due to work, and I am not able to use the hand sanitizer because of skin allergies). As a result, my hands are terribly dry and will crack in dry, cold weather. I have tried many products out there, but most are too greasy to use, or do not moisturize enough. This cream feels as though it starts the healing process right away, and overnight the skin is more or less healed. Love it.

Comments about Mustela Stelatria Purifying Recovery Cream, 1.35 fl oz:
Mustela Stelatria Purifying Recovery Cream is a great cream for light to medium cases of dry skin or eczema. The cream itself has next to no scent and is easy to apply. The texture is a bit lighter than I had expected (I'm use to heavy creams for dry skin) but it worked well. After applying the Recovery Cream I found the areas would either stop itching or itch less for up to four hours.

I am installing a server on ubuntu 10.4(internet not connected) .It requires a package named m2crypto.There is no open port available so iam not able to use "apt-get thing".I tried to download m2crypto package on another machine(windows) but when I tried to install that multiple dependencied were reported.So,I need a way to get all packages with all dependencies.I have heard about apt -get offline but that is also not available .Is there any way as i need to do this urgently.
This is going to be a pain, because apt was created to solve just these kinds of dependency issues. However you can run
You can also do this by looking though a site like this one and downloading all dependencies.
This is going to be a giant PIA and the the primary reason things like apt exist, but this will get you up and running, after a fashion.
Install the package on another Ubuntu 12.04 machine (preferably a fairly minimal install). Then you should find all the dependencies needed to install it, in
M2Crypto is available both from PyPI and in addition for Ubuntu as package "python-m2crypto". In your case (offline, no apparent desire for Python virtual envs), I suggest to install the "python-m2crypto" package.
You can find Ubuntu package information including dependencies on http://packages.ubuntu.com. At this point, the site does not have the information for Ubuntu 10 anymore. For Ubuntu 12, the information for the "python-m2crypto" package is on http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-m2crypto.
You can then download the packages you don't have yet ("python-m2crypto" and its dependent packages you don't have yet, resolving dependencies recursively) from there in .deb format, transport the .deb files to your offline machine, and install them there using:

Patch 1.07 for The Last of Us will be rolling out globally over the next 24 hours. There are a slew of changes and some great new content, so be sure to read on and watch our Twitch videos for in-depth details.
It's a great week to be a fan of The Last of Us — especially if you're a Season Pass holder!
We're pleased to announce the third and final drop in The Last of Us season pass. Here's a look at what's coming for the next DLC drop.
Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements. We love setting challenging technical hurdles for us when working on each game – and this is no different.
As we did in 2012, we'll have a large pack of Dogs giving talks at GDC 2014. We just wrapped up The Last of Us: Left Behind to universal critical acclaim. It currently has a score of 89 on Metacritic, making it the highest rated PS3 downloadable content ever. We also recently received five BAFTA awards, including the coveted Best Game in 2014, for our work on The Last of Us.
Stop reading now and head here if you haven't completed The Last of Us: Left Behind or The Last of Us.
To be crystal clear, so you're not tempted to read on…Spoilers Ahead — Turn Back Now!
By now you've played The Last of Us and likely have learned more about Ellie's backstory in The Last of Us: Left Behind. Maybe you're been wondering how we got Joel's beard to look so good or why Ellie acts like she does. We're pleased to say that Grounded: The Making of The Last of Us can provide you with some answers and that it's now available to watch for free.
We're proud to continue this strong month by releasing our first ever, single-player downloadable story campaign, The Last of Us: Left Behind. Unless you're on a media blackout, check out the launch trailer for Left Behind.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Written by Bruce Brown and Dwight L MacPherson
Art by Thomas Boatwright
Arcana; $12.95
As I mentioned in last week's What Are You Reading? (where I incorrectly referred to it as Howard Lovecraft and the Ice Kingdom), I didn't care for Bruce Brown and Renzo Podesta's Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom. I liked Podesta's art for the most part, but some of his choices bothered me. Like, when a character sees a city of ice for the first time and marvels at how glorious and beautiful it is, maybe the audience should be able to see it too instead of just taking the character's word for it. The greater problem though was that it was that it was too clunky about the way it tried to balance Lovecraftian horror with a kids comics sensibility.
There were some cool, creepy moments, but they were ruined by simplistic characterization and actions that just didn't feel real. That's most clearly illustrated in the scene where young Howard Lovecraft meets C'thulhu for the first time. I'm not a Lovecraft scholar (hell, I'm barely even a fan), but I know that the elder gods are supposed to be huge and terrifying; that just looking at them drives people insane. But when Howard meets this monster, he runs away and beats the Deep One by stopping short at a cliff so that the pursuing Wile E. C'thulhu flies right over. Howard then saves the repentant beast and names him "Spot," a nickname the elder god gratefully accepts from his new master. The whole scene struck me as ridiculous and I wasn't sure how anyone could salvage Frozen Kingdom to make a better second volume. But Brown (with the help of new co-writer Dwight MacPherson) does.
Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom picks up where Frozen Kingdom leaves off in the story, but the tone is all different. This is a flawed comparison, but I kept thinking of Edward Gorey as I read it. Frozen Kingdom tried to be all-ages by throwing in things for both adults and kids, but failed because it was too easy to draw circles around its parts and say, "This is for kids" and "This is for grownups." Undersea's approach is the kind that Neil Gaiman's always advocating for: that it's okay to tell a story for children and make it good and scary. Kids will recognize themselves in Howard Lovecraft and think it's pretty cool that he has a monster for a friend (Howard doesn't treat him like a puppy in Undersea), a humorously loony dad (who was genuinely disturbing in the first book), and a dauntlessly resourceful cop as a mentor (a new and very welcome character). There's also a pretty awesome cat. And while readers are enjoying all that, they're encouraged to be good and creeped out by the world.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a "Splurge" item. We're coming a little late today due to a power outage in my neck of the woods — due to a blackout, not because I spent the money for the electric bill on Flashpoint or Fear Itself tie-ins.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15, my first pick off the shelf would be Vengeance #1 (Marvel, $3.99); I love Joe Casey, and especially when he's given a long leash and room to play in a big universe. Seeing Nick Dragotta drawing this is an added bonus. Next up would be comics' dueling summer blockbusters, Flashpoint #3 (DC, $3.99) and Fear Itself #4 (Marvel, $3.99). After that, I'd get the excellent Flashpoint: Batman, Knight of Vengeance #2 (DC, $2.99); when Azzarello is on the ball he's great to read, and this seems to be that.
During HeroesCon earlier this month, I ran into 27 writer Charles Soule. Being a big fan of music (and comics of course), I was ashamed to admit that I had not run across his series (which launched last year from Image/Shadowline), built upon the rock and roll legend about certain very brilliant musicians dying at the age of twenty-seven. With the trade paperback of the first four issues set to go on sale this Wednesday, Soule and I settled in for a quick email interview. I was intrigued to learn about Soule's contest for readers. Also, we talk about e sure to read to the end of this interview for a mention of Vanilla Ice.
Tim O'Shea: While at the heart of the tale, the threat of death looms–and yet as you note in this November 2010 CBR interview 27's theme is "really creativity". Can you talk about why you wanted to explore the concept of creativity partially through death?
Charles Soule: Jumping right into the heavy stuff, eh? Fine by me. The "hook" to 27 revolves around the many brilliant musicians and artists who have died at age twenty-seven – they're known in rock and roll mythology as the "27 Club," and the idea is that there's some sort of curse that takes particularly talented individuals well before their time. In the 27 comic, Will Garland, a superstar guitar hero, turns twenty-seven and his life falls apart. His hand gets hit with a nerve disease that makes him unable to play, and all sorts of other terrible things start to occur that make him realize he's been hit by the curse. From there, he has to try to beat the curse and live to see twenty-eight. Lots of supernatural craziness, lots of rock music lore, lots of thrills, chills and guitar fills.
But as you noted, that's just the surface story – the carnival barker tease that gets people in the freakshow tent. The deeper theme is creativity; why do some people seem almost compelled to make art, and what does that cost them? Why are some amazing talents taken young, and, of course, is it better to burn out or fade away (to, er, re-coin a phrase)? These are big questions, and I thought they were worth exploring. Most people are creative to some extent, and the 'why' of it all is worth trying to unravel.
Broadway | Michael Cohl and Jeremiah Harris, producers of the troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, talk candidly about the $70-million musical — or "$65 plus plus," as Cohl says — as it shuts down for more than three weeks for a sweeping overhaul. Will the production, plagued by delays, technical mishaps, injuries and negative reviews, hurt their reputation? "It might," Cohl concedes. "It's a matter of the respect of those whose opinions I care about. Most will recognize that Jere and I stepped in dog poo and are trying to clean it up and pull off a miracle. We might not."
In related news, Christopher Tierney, the actor who was seriously injured on Dec. 20 after plummeting 30 feet during a performance, will rejoin rehearsals on Monday. [Bloomberg, The Hollywood Reporter]

DONETSK, Ukraine -- As separatists conceded that militants from Russia's province of Chechnya had joined the rebellion, a Ukrainian government official cautioned Wednesday that its borders had become a "front line" in the crisis.
Chechnya's Moscow-backed strongman brushed away allegations he had dispatched paramilitary forces to Ukraine, saying he was powerless to stop fellow Chechens from joining the fight.
While there is no immediate indication the Kremlin is enabling or supporting combatants from Russia crossing into Ukraine, Moscow may have to dispel suspicions it is waging a proxy war if it is to avoid more Western sanctions.
The Kremlin welcomed the election Sunday of billionaire Petro Poroshenko as the president of Ukraine. An advocate of strong ties with Europe, Poroshenko also favors mending relations with Russia.
Egypt: El-Sissi way ahead in presidential poll
CAIRO -- Partial results of Egypt's presidential election show the nation's military chief comfortably ahead of his rival after votes from 2,000 polling stations were counted.
The results announced late Wednesday by the campaign of retired field marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi show him winning 4.2 million votes, with left-wing politician Hamdeen Sabahi taking 133,548.
El-Sissi's win was never in doubt, but he wished for a strong turnout to bestow legitimacy on his ouster in July of Egypt's president, the Islamist Mohammed Morsi.
Assad's supporters abroad vote in Syrian election
YARZE, Lebanon -- Tens of thousands of supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad voted Wednesday at embassies abroad, clogging entrances to the Lebanese capital for hours and clashing with soldiers overwhelmed by their sheer numbers a week before national elections widely expected to give him a third seven-year term.
But reflecting the schism within Syrian society, many of the estimated 2.5 million refugees scattered across neighboring countries were either excluded or abstained from the balloting, which they deem a mockery because it is being held in the middle of a civil war.
The June 3 election is all but guaranteed to give the 49-year-old Syrian leader, whose family has ruled Syria for more than four decades, a mandate to continue with his crushing of the rebellion.
Family buries pregnant woman stoned to death
ISLAMABAD -- A pregnant Pakistani woman beaten and stoned to death by her own family for marrying against their wishes was buried before dawn Wednesday as police pressed a manhunt for those who took part in the so-called "honor killing" outside a courthouse in downtown Lahore.
Her father was arrested shortly after the killing Tuesday, and confessed to having killed his daughter because she had married a man of her choice, defying the family's wishes and conservative Muslim norms.
Farzana Parveen, 25, was buried in the presence of about 100 mourners from her husband's family at around 2 a.m. in a village graveyard, her husband, Mohammad Iqbal, said.
He said his family had chosen to bury her at night because of the gruesome state of her remains.

News Mountain Madness
posted by December 28 at 9:04 AMon
It's not good news. From the NYT:
A body believed to be that of one of two American climbers missing in China for more than a month has been found high on a 20,354-foot peak in an isolated part of Sichuan Province, searchers said Wednesday. The search continued for the second climber, who is also presumed to have perished.
The missing climbers, Christine Boskoff, 39, and Charlie Fowler, 52, are elite mountaineers who have reached the summit of many of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest. People in the United States last heard from them Nov. 8….
"It was a leg that was protruding through the snow," Mr. Jones said. "The ID is only that it is a gray boot, a blue gaiter and modern mountaineering equipment." A gaiter is worn over a climber's upper boot and lower leg.
He said that searchers felt certain the body they had found was one of the missing American climbers because of the equipment with the body and because monks in a monastery a few thousand feet below had reported meeting the climbers on Nov. 12.
"At that point they indicated they would be coming back to the monastery in about four days and, of course, they didn't," Mr. Jones said.

I have a main computer that connects to the internet via a wifi usb adapter (Alfa AWUS036H) + a big outdoor antenna. I connect to an AP that is at my brother's house about 150mts from the antenna. This works fine, but now I got a laptop and I want to connect that to the internet too, the laptop wifi card doesn't have the power to reach my brother's AP and I can't connect it to the big antenna either.
But I do have a router that can provide wifi, I used it years ago with a modem that was connected to the WAN port using a normal ethernet cable. So I am looking for a way to connect my main PC, which has an internet connection via the wifi adapter, to the router, and use the router to provide internet to the laptop and any other wifi devices inside my house.
The router is a pretty generic local brand (PCBox PC-RW150N), the manufacturer website doesn't even provide any details about it. What I can say about it is that in the config page, it shows 4 operation modes, these are the names an descriptions as shown on the config page:
Bridge: All ethernet and wireless interfaces are bridged into a single bridge interface.
Gateway: The first ethernet port is treated as WAN port. The other ethernet ports and wireless interface are bridged together and are treated as LAN ports. (this is the mode I used when I had the modem connected to the WAN port a few years ago)
Ethernet Converter: The wireless interface is treated as WAN port and ethernet ports are LAN ports.
AP Client: The wireless APCLI interface is treated as WAN port, and the wireless AP interface and the ethernet ports are LAN ports. ports.
On the back of the router there are 5 ports, 4 named LAN 1 to 4, and one named WAN (where I used to connect the modem). On the side it has a little wifi antenna.
On which of these ports would I have to connect my main computer (that already has internet access via the usb wifi adapter), and which mode should I select in order to be able to access internet from other devices that connect to the router via wifi?
What I have tried so far is, first I connect the main PC to the internet using the Alfa wifi adapter + the big outdoor antenna. Then I go to Network and Sharing Center (I am using Windows 7), and in the wireless connection settings, in the Sharing tab, I make sure the checkbox that says "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" is checked. Then I tried all the 4 router's modes, and tried connecting the main computer ethernet card to both the LAN1 port and the WAN port (when I connect it to the WAN port it wont let me access the router config, it access my brother's router config when I go to 192.168.0.1). Then I use the laptop to connect to the router wifi network, but the laptop never has internet access.

West Virginia is reeling from an oil train derailment that destroyed a house, forced the evacuation of about 2,400 people and spilled oil into the state's Kanawha River.

Dr. Robinson has written an interesting book which I hope will be widely read and will do some good. In these days when there is great effort to make diagnoses purely from laboratory and roentgenologic reports, there is much need for protesting books like this which show how often a serious situational neurosis complicates organic disease and perhaps makes successful treatment impossible. This is probably particularly true in the case of clinic patients, but it is almost as true of patients of the middle and upper economic classes, who are commonly unhappy, worried, overworked or psychopathic.
The book is made up almost entirely of well abstracted case reports in which only essential points are given. It should be read by all young physicians starting out in practice, and it should of course be read by all students who plan to be social service workers.

Almost half a century after "Night of the Living Dead," filmmakers are still misunderstanding how George Romero made his besieged shut-ins compelling.
The film feels unbelievably long at 84 minutes, and the color-drained, hand-held cinematography serves only as a reminder of just how good "Night of the Living Dead" really was.
Just good enough to engage audiences, but it falls well short of remarkable, leaving viewers wishing for a dawn that never breaks.

How Much?
We've heard for years that we need to drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Before you start chugging, is it true?
"There is no scientific evidence whatsoever for that rule," says Kenney. "It's certainly not a harmful rule, but there is no scientific rationale behind it."
Instead, it's pretty simple: For the average person, drink enough so you go to the bathroom every two to four hours.
"You should be drinking enough so that you urinate every two to four hours, and that the urine is a light color," says Clark, author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook. "If you go from 8 a.m. till 3 p.m., and your urine is very dark, that's a sign that you haven't had enough to drink."
Most of us do a pretty good job of getting adequate amounts of fluids as part of our everyday routines: coffee in the morning, soda or juice with lunch, a glass of water in the afternoon, and water with dinner. Coupled with the water that makes up our food, usually, this is sufficient.
Athletes, of course, need more.
"The exact amount of water needed per day really depends on the individual," says Rick Hall, a registered dietitian in Phoenix. "People who exercise, for example, will lose a lot more water through sweat and breathing, so their needs are higher."
Athletes need to quench their thirst even when they're not thirsty, and avoid relying on the feeling of thirst to tell them when to drink.
"Headaches and cramping are common signs of dehydration," says Hall. "However, these are late signs. Unfortunately, the body hides mild dehydration very well, and it can take hours before you recognize that you are dehydrated."
Exercise, explains Hall, blunts the thirst mechanism.
"So folks who are running or biking may not feel thirsty when they actually need water desperately," Hall tells WebMD. "An important strategy is to prevent dehydration by hydrating frequently."
Too Much of a Good Thing
We know we need to drink fluids to maintain a healthy body, but is there such as a thing as too much?
