I have been battling this issue for a couple days now.
The site I'm doing is very simple, but I can't figure out how to :
1) Bring the image on the front page to be full width and occupy the same width as the banner and the menu... I tried to search for the page.php file but there seems to be none. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
2) Delete the empty space between the menu and the image under it. (where the title of the page usually appears)
Here is the site : http://je-craq.com/
Thank you very much to anyone who can help

Two Deadliest Catch fishing captains are claiming that the Discovery Channel's lawsuit against them isn't just unfair, it's an attempt to extort them and force them out of business.
Captains Andy and John Hillstand are being sued for $3 million by Discovery Communications for allegedly refusing to complete work on a Deadliest Catch spinoff show called Hillstranded (Initial shooting was completed, but voiceover and other post-production work remains undone, according to Discovery), but they see the lawsuit as something else entirely. Jeff Cohen, attorney for the Hillstrands, released a statement that described the lawsuit as "an astonishing and shameful instance of arrogance and greed run amok," going on to say
While CEO David Zaslav reaps a $33.9 million bonanza in a single day in January 2010, his company attempts to bankrupt hardworking fishermen. Three million dollars is exponentially greater than any compensation ever paid to the 'Deadliest Catch' captains, and yet this is the figure Discovery is trying to extort from these men… Isn't there enough unemployment in America without forcing hard-working sea captains to declare bankruptcy, sell their boats and fire their crews?
Well, as long as he's addressing the merits of the lawsuit itself… (Elsewhere, Cohen also makes reference to the the death of fellow Catch captain Phil Harris, somewhat gratuitously). This may get ugly… well, uglier.
Wow, a lawsuit over a boring fishing show. I think they found a way to make the legal system even more tedious to most people… with a tedious fishing show.
It's so not a tedious show and I love all the captains and all the boats. I'll stand by them all.
Most boring show ever.
Suggestion to the captains – honor your contracts.

Hello. I am Chris Ryley and with my wife and family we have undertaken, since early 2006, the massive upgrading of The White Hart Inn. It has been and remains very hard work but rewarding as we are now seeing the positive results of our efforts as instanced by us receiving both the SW Essex CAMRA Pub of the Year Award 2007, 2008 & 2009 in respect of the ambience and quality of our real ales and the Cask Marque Award. I used to run the Grays Athletic FC bar where my love of real ales became legendary and in itself drew people to the bar, a situation which is mirrored at The White Hart Inn where it is usual for four or five real ales to be on offer at any one time and, of course, they are kept beautifully. It is after all my hobby! At the White Hart Inn my business partner and I operate as India Inns Ltd and because of his nationality and culture we provide amongst other things the catering for many local Indian weddings and celebrations. I think it is fair to say that we have improved The White Hart Inn beyond measure and the increasing numbers of people moving in to the area now see The White Hart Inn as their local. This is exactly what we were aiming for and we are becoming more and more popular by the day. With all the development work being undertaken in the region we find that contractors are drawn not just to the pub but to stay over with us in one of our seven guest bedrooms, each with colour television and beverage making facilities. These guest bedrooms though are very cost effective and available to anyone on request. In the pub itself we have a children policy which welcomes them until 8pm and then they must leave. This works extremely well and is in the interest of all concerned. Another policy we have introduced is that of live music on alternate Thursdays. This is becoming increasingly popular and our guests can enjoy at varying intervals blues music, country and western and folk. All great entertainment and designed for the majority who just want to enjoy a good drink, friendly company and entertainment. We think that these are the ingredients for the ideal local pub and it seems that our locals agree wholeheartedly. The White Hart Inn has a function room which can accommodate around 50. It is ideal for family celebrations and private social events and, of course, on request we can provide catering within the stated budget so please feel free to enquire. So as another busy day ends at The White Hart Inn and we prepare for another one tomorrow, why not take a detour next time you are in the area and enjoy the same hospitality and excellent beers as do our locals. If visiting the area from further afield, why pay hotel tariffs when our guest bedrooms offer excellent value for money. Either way, we hope to welcome you to The White Hart Inn shortly and to introducing you to our great pub and to an unforgettable real ale experience.

Malcolm Hayes (30), of Canterbury, in Ratbags in Dunedin
yesterday, celebrates Argentina beating the Netherlands in
the football World Cup semifinal.
Mr Hayes, the only fan at the Octagon bar wearing the
Argentine blue and white, stood staunchly for 120 goalless
minutes in the middle of 90 people, mostly Dutch supporters
swaddled in electric orange.
At the start of the penalty shoot-out, Mr Hayes' hands were
clasped behind his neck but his grip released when the
goalkeeper saved the first Dutch attempt.
When the goalkeeper denied another Dutch shot, his hands
became outstretched above his head and he hollered
''Argentina'' to the dejected Netherlands supporters.
''I've got high blood pressure,'' Mr Hayes said, ''and no
fingernails left.''

How would you spend $50 billion to stimulate the economy AND energy efficiency, Part 1
We are going to have a huge economic stimulus package soon after Obama becomes President. And a big piece of it is going to be aimed at energy efficiency and renewable energy, as the NYT reported today in "Proposal Ties Economic Stimulus to Energy Plan."
I have asked a bunch of my wonk ee friends for some energy efficiency ideas, which I'll be posting in the coming days. I'd love to hear some ideas from you — please try to keep them practical. Focus on spending that creates jobs in the next two years AND that either saves energy (like weatherizing low-income homes) or helps jumpstart the transition to a clean energy economy (like 'green' transmission).
I'll even send one or two the best ideas to the various transition folks I know. Realistically, it would be very hard to actually get into the stimulus package, but a good idea might still find its way into the huge energy bill that is equally inevitable for 2009, but on a somewhat slower track.
Try not to duplicate stuff in the Center for American Progress's plan, "A Strategy for Green Recovery" (which is a good guide for how to write up an idea). Nor should you duplicate ideas in the NYT piece:
President-elect Barack Obama and leaders in Congress are fashioning a plan to pour billions of dollars into a jobs program to jolt the economy and lay the groundwork for a more energy-efficient one.
The details and cost of the so-called green-jobs program are still unclear, but a senior Obama aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a work in progress, said it would probably include the weatherizing of hundreds of thousands of homes, the installation of "smart meters" to monitor and reduce home energy use, and billions of dollars in grants to state and local governments for mass transit and infrastructure projects.
The green component of the much larger stimulus plan would cost at least $15 billion a year, and perhaps considerably more, depending on how the projects were defined, aides working on the package said….
Congressional officials working with the Obama administration said
the stimulus program was also likely to involve tax breaks or direct
government subsidies for a variety of clean energy projects,
including solar arrays, wind farms, advanced biofuels and technology
to capture carbon dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants.
The programs will be a part of a larger economic stimulus package
whose outlines are faint but which is expected to cost $400 billion
to $500 billion. Mr. Obama has said that his goal is to create or
save 2.5 million jobs in the next two years. He has assigned to his
economic and environmental advisers the task of devising a proposal
that is expected to combine a shot of new federal money into existing
federal and state programs and the possible creation of agencies
modeled on New Deal public works programs.
"We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and
bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and
building wind farms and solar panels, fuel-efficient cars and the
alternative energy technologies that can free us from our dependence
on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead,"
Mr. Obama said in a radio address last month, echoing a campaign
promise with a new sense of urgency….
"Now they're talking about some large amount of money — what, $100 billion? — and spending it on windmills, job training, whatever," said David Kreutzer, who studies energy economics and climate change at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group. "But where do you get the $100 billion in the first place? Are you going to take $100 billion from some other part of the economy, are you going to tax some people to pay for it? Are you just going to print it or borrow it? The money has to come from somewhere."The Obama team and Congressional leaders say they want a plan ready shortly after Congress reconvenes in January.
Mr. Obama has said that, after stabilizing the economy and the markets, putting the nation on the path to a more energy-efficient future is his top priority. The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi of California, said this week that rebuilding infrastructure and creating green jobs was "the first order of business that we will have" when Congress reconvenes in January. Several hearings are planned even before Mr. Obama takes office on Jan. 20.
State officials say a lack of financing has stalled billions of dollars in projects. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California told Mr. Obama this week that the states were ready to break ground with $136 billion in infrastructure projects that could provide new jobs within two years.
The American Public Transportation Association, which represents local mass transit authorities, said there were $8 billion in "ready-to-go" projects that could preserve or create thousands of jobs and provide more energy-efficient transportation.
Beverly A. Scott, the chief executive of Atlanta's transit agency and head of the national association, told Congress in October that the projects included diesel-electric hybrid buses for Chicago; a new bus maintenance shop for Eugene, Ore.; and a set of crossover tracks to allow San Francisco's rapid transit trains to turn around more quickly and carry more riders.
The Obama aide said the residential smart meters were a relatively small project that would not create a large number of jobs, but the aide said they would be an essential building block for the electric grid of the future. The new grid — a multiyear, multibillion-dollar project — would more efficiently move electricity from its source to its destination and would reward those who saved power or used it during off-peak hours.
Senator Jeff Bingaman, Democrat of New Mexico, who heads the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said he was sympathetic to Mr. Obama's desire to pump up the economy and reduce energy usage. But Mr. Bingaman said he was wary of big government spending programs without sufficient oversight or expertise.
"Just buying smart meters for everybody doesn't really move the ball very far," said Mr. Bingaman, who will hold a hearing next week to gather ideas for energy-related stimulus spending. "Realistically speaking, getting money properly spent in a short period of time requires some degree of competence in the government agency doing it.
The best plan is to start with existing programs that work, like weatherization, and build on those."
Bingaman doesn't get the big idea. But I know you do! Change is coming. Ideas welcome.

30 Responses to How would you spend $50 billion to stimulate the economy AND energy efficiency, Part 1
1.) I would love to see a high-speed rail system, similar to what Joe Biden has been talking about, set up in the Northeast. There is no reason to go through the whole hassle of air-travel just to travel from New York to DC, or Baltimore to Boston ect.
I live on the west coast, so I would also like to see a high-speed train from Seattle to San Diego!
2.) Another great idea, is a comprehensive weatherization of all poor, inner-city homes in cities like Pittsburg or Detroit where coal is the main source of electricity and cold winters require substantial heating costs. This would create jobs, lower electricity costs for the poor, and stop dirty coal pollution.
3.) Obama's motto should be, "a solar panel on every roof, and a plug-in hybrid in every garage."
1 )Low Hanging Fruit:
Require towns that receive Federal (or state $$$ derived from federal $$$) to sign on to the EPA Energy Efficiency Challenge, a move that encourages municipalities to voluntarily reduce energy use and provides tools for doing so. It costs nothing for the town to sign on, and towns with smart folks just might take advantage of these resources.
Not-So-Low Hanging Fruit
The above, but also require a town to retrofit one building (energy efficiency-wise) before funds can be received for renewable energy systems.
2) The CT Clean Energy Fund has an excellent program, the 20% by 2010 Clean Energy Campaign, that calls for commitments from municipalities AND residents to promote clean energy, rewarding towns that meet certain benchmarks with free PV arrays (towns must take EPA challenge before installation). Link: http://ctcleanenergy.com/default.aspx?tabid=82
Electric Transportation is important for addressing both peak oil and global warming. Railroads seem to be widely ignored but critical links in the future of transportion.
1.) Rebuilding some of the rail trackage the was allowed to decay in the last century would reduce petroleum consumption by reducing air travel, automobile travel and long distance trucking.
2.) All of the mainline railroad traffic could be electrified. This would reduce the dependence of our transportation on petroleum even more. Electrically powered railroads are common in Europe and other parts of the world. Why not here?
I would start a 60-40 sugarcane-ethanol partnership with Venezuela – Venezuela owning 60%.
On Bill Financing – A National Opportunity
Small Business across the country are straining under both higher energy costs and less access to capital
Utility 0% Financing, called "On Bill Financing", can use energy efficiency program funds to clear the "cash flow" hurdle and support comprehensive energy efficiency installations that can return precious capital away from wasted energy use back to help businesses grow. Almost no other investment can equal the return on investment basic energy efficiency delivers through lighting, refrigeration , hvac, motors and other energy use areas for just about any building nationwide.
Each state has a Public Utility Commission. Utilities function under the rules those regulators mandate that they follow. California and several New England states already offer On Bill Financing (OBF).
A new administration in Washington may well wish to accelerate efforts at using energy efficiency both for businesses and to help cities, counties, state and federal buildings lower energy use and costs comprehensively as one approach to help stimulate the economy, reduce carbon emissions and diminish security concerns relating to the current overdependence on foreign sources of energy.
Utilities need to address identifying and managing On Bill Financing within their billing systems in order to develop and operate these programs. IT development can represent a barrier that slows some utility's willingness to adopt OBF. Another hurdle is the perception of defaults by small businesses and the negative ramifications that entails. This is in spite of several successful OBF programs with proven low default rates. Moreover, many states are just beginning or have yet to begin offering energy efficiency to their customers. Several state Public Utility Commissions are just learning how to manage balancing ratepayer and utility interests.
The fastest way to accelerate the ability for more small businesses across the country to get access to OBF may be to start with a national concentration on developing programs first aimed at cities, counties, and state and federal buildings. Few things are certain but recent economic events seem to guarantee an unprecedented level of fiscal stress within all public budgets.
One tourniquet applied to help stop the fiscal bleeding to help stabilize our collective tax base should be a rapid move to accelerate investments in energy efficiency. Government buildings are really no different than any
other commercial structure. Recovering up to 40% in annual energy costs with investments that require no budget hearings or other up front capital and that offer annual returns on investments from 50-150% should be at the front of the line in terms of what to do next.
Utilities can minimize risk and succeed with well designed energy efficiency programs using On Bill Financing for all taxpayer funded entities first. Once a utility has developed the IT and billing capability to deploy Institutional OBF, expanding to small business OBF programs as the next step becomes much easier.
Public policy on a national level can offer states with incentives to mandate that utilities develop Institutional OBF perhaps using much that same carrot approach uses access to additional funding in return for compliance.
After Greenland and Antarctic ice mass potential energy one of the most practical energy making or saving methods is ships without water resistance.
Today´s ships are from stone age. Water resistance killing takes 80 % of the energy at low speeds and over 95 % at the speed 30 miles per hour.
Rolling pontoons make ships go like trains, without resistance. You know the double barrels, shaft between them, casting no litre of water beside as ship is advancing. 100 or 200 miles per hour, all the same: no resistance. Use your brains a minute and you understand the idea.
I like the idea of prizes along the lines of the Automotive X PRIZE when applied to goals with an appropriate level of difficulty, usefulness, lack of current market interest, and "contest promotability" (i.e. easy of promoting it, getting sponsors, etc). Prize competitions could apply to technical or market energy/environment innovations, community efficiency deployment rewards, etc. In addition to achieving goals, they also can be good at educating the public about the issues addressed, and getting the public to see the fun side of energy/environment efforts.
One nice aspect of prizes is that the budget has to be set aside, but doesn't actually have to be spent until actual winners appear. Economic activity happens as prize organizers do their work, sponsors step up, competitors do whatever economic activities they need to do in their attempts to win, the public follows the events … but the government doesn't spend anything until the win. (That's not quite true … for example, the NASA Centennial Challenges suite of prizes actually includes about half of 1 NASA employee's salary. However, it's 99.9% true). Thus some of the fiscal objections mentioned in the NYT article are at least partially addressed. The actual tax dollar value spent on such efforts can be trivial compared to the tens of billions of dollars being discussed, so it's not as if they'd divert significant funding from the mainstream efforts.
Peter Orszag (CBO, now OMB) blog post on prizes:
One of the key elements that does not get sufficient coverage is jobs training. The economy is hemorrhaging millions of jobs. If the plan is to get these people off of the jobless roles and into the workforce, then we will need to retrain them.
The people who have lost jobs are not just auto workers and manufacturing types. These folks have, at least, a general understanding of the manufacturing processes. Many have hands-on skills that are directly applicable to the needs for building a clean infrastructure and energy industry. However, these folks represent a minority of the unemployed population.
The vast majority of the jobless people have zero skills in the areas where they will be needed (nada, none, zip, zilch…). These people were mortgage brokers, realtors, appraisers, financial folks, and other cubical dwellers. If you believe, as I do, that most of these kinds of jobs are gone and not coming back any time soon, then these folks need retraining in order to be contributing members of society. Any stimulus plan MUST provide real, meaningful job training. Training that gives people the new skills needed to switch careers into the new clean economy sector.
Without meaningful retraining, millions of unemployed people will NOT be able to aid in the conversion to a new economy. Instead, they will remain dead weight on the unemployment rolls, an anchor dragging down the clean economy.
Build a giant cannon in China and use it to ship consumer goods to the US, taking advantage of zero air resistance in space.
CARBON REWARDS instead of CARBON TAXES
Governments around the world are wrestling with the challenge of how to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The current preferred approaches are to impose "carbon" taxes and/or implement various forms of cap and trade systems. However another approach to help reduce carbon emission is to "reward" those who reduce their carbon footprint rather than imposing draconian taxes or dubious cap and trade systems. Consumers will generally respond more positively to voluntary reward mechanisms as opposed to mandatory solutions imposed by government or other authorities.
These web sites and blogs discuss a number of carbon reward schemes
find out what we don't know. cartography is always helpful. in this case, inventory every building in terms of water, energy, transport, and other resource use. are they well sealed? are they easy or hard to retrofit? fill thw gaps in records. this would give localities a very rich dataset in terms of organizing money and work.
pay good money to architects, artists, planners, and sustainability experts to assemble multiple visual representations of regional and local low-impact living as a system. set very tight constraints: high costs, low rations. if 2030 i a time of conservation, what do we do to get there?
declare eminent domain over battery designs. open source them. standardize their shapes and sizes. make battery development an international open project, with design focuses on predictability, upgradability, portability (such as yamaha using the same class of battery in a scooter as in a mule), and life-cycle.
build up google maps and such into full-fledged mobile transit planners. hook in all regional transport — bus, train, bike (by including routes and street grade info), taxi, even car rental. hook in an intercity reservation gizmo so you can know in seconds when the next bus, train, or even plane is headed for wherever you're going. show bus stops and time tables live on the map with the press of a button. the investment here would be opening up the development of transit info systems and making their data very easy to aggregate.
your phone is your map. now make it your ticket: implement the japanese mobile phone transit pass gizmo. put the tech in all phones and convert the station and vehicle equipment. again, this should be an open standard and money for development and installation, not a contract for proprietary equipment.
related to the first two, build software for building inspectors, urban planners, civil engineers, and all other interested parties to collect, review, visualize, and project regional resource use data at the household level. emphasize data interoperability. make the future easier to see. this is sort of a green linux for logistics and infrastructure.
more software: centralize local freight dispatch. a cameraphone with GPS has everything it needs to arrange the transport of something to somewhere. make it easy for a person on foot or bike to buy a used piano or a week's groceries. reduce car trips and SME overhead.
we're switching from extraction-based growth to knowledge-based growth, right, so invest in the open knowledge infrastructure to do things smarter.
Green Eggs and Ham:
Require all funds appropriated for building projects meet a green standard. The energy bill required all new federal buildings to meet a green standard. Currently, Congress willingly subsidizes the creation of inefficient buildings that will collectively emit billions of tons of carbon dioxide in their lifetimes. It is time that all projects receiving federal funding meet the same green requirements as federal construction.
Two solutions to improve energy use AND the housing market:
1) Require Energy Performance Certificates to be issued at the sale of any home. Much like an energy efficiency guide on a refridgerator, these certificates provide the purchaser with a clearer picture of their energy budget and incentive for the seller to make long-term energy investments. For more on the UK program, visit http://campaigns.direct.gov.uk/epc/
2) Subsidize energy efficient mortgages. Allow homebuyers additional funding or lower interest rates on the mortgage of their energy efficient home. Again, this will help educate the buyer on home energy use, make energy efficient homes more desirable in the market, and create jobs through increased energy audits and energy efficiency upgrades. It will also provide a welcome boost to our struggling housing market.
Immediately ban the production/sale/use of incandescent bulbs.
Have 'bulb squads' go to every home and change every lightbulb to a low-energy cfl or led.
No excuses.
Create a WWII-sized effort to produce an all-electric highway capable automobile. There must be a design out there that could be implemented immediately and made affordable through economies of scale (think EV1 or something newer). Employ hundreds of thousands of people if not more, including all the suppliers. Even with a coal-fired power grid, we save carbon emissions with electric vehicles – and our grid should only get greener. Highway capable vehicles with an 80 mile range could easily serve as a second car for most families. Crush the suv's and use the materials for the new cars. This will be be added incentive to implement the smart grid technologies.
Electrify all mainline railroads.
We used to, before my time, have electric mainlines to go over the mountains.
Advantages include point-source pollution (generating plants) where the pollution is much easier to clean up.
Order 100,000 plug in hybrid cars from Big Three……………..$4 billion
Install 21st Century technology on 20,000 schools…………..$10 billion
National battery development project…………………………….$1 billion
HVDC transmission infrastructure………………………………..$35 billion
On the theory that the money should be doing double or triple duty, go after the general economy (eg: jobs), particular economic problem areas (eg: housing), and energy/environment at the same time. Carol Guest has examples for trying to tackle house while also going after the other 2; there are probably other comparable ideas.
If you want to go after jobs, the automobile manufacturer crisis, the environment, and energy (liquid fuel) independence all at the same time, give *major* tax rebates or other incentives for buying energy efficient vehicles, or exchanging low-efficiency vehicles for (comparatively) higher-efficiency ones (taken out of circulation). The efficient ones wouldn't necessarily have to be PHEVs, since you want to encourage vehicles that are now in mass production to be bought (while still helping the Teslas out there as much as the GMs). Higher efficiency would earn bigger rewards on a sliding scale, perhaps also accounting for the removal of low efficiency vehicles. Even going from 15mpg to 25mpg would be a huge improvement. Similar deals could be made for big trucks and other industrial/farm vehicles. There might be a bonus for FFVs, since getting these on the road encourages R&D investment in advanced biofuel production.
Electrify the roads so that EV's would not need batteries. Like trams – but with all the advantages of cars. All that is needed is for electric rails to be embedded in the roads and metering in the cars to bill according to use. Plus some system to stop anyone electrocuting themselves.
Paul K: "Order 100,000 plug in hybrid cars from Big Three……………..$4 billion"
Something like this would be a good compliment to the consumer incentives to replace vehicles with more efficient ones that I mentioned. I don't know what the numbers would be, but it seems like now would be a good time for the Federal government to mass order efficient vehicles a couple years ahead of normal practice. At the same time, it could give big incentives to state and local governments, as well as major automobile business customers like rental car companies, to do the same, keeping fuel efficiency at the forefront in the incentive structures.
Current orders would have to focus on clearing out current mildly fuel efficient inventories and what the auto factories are set up to produce now, but orders for future years could raise the bar, perhaps to include lots of PHEVs like Paul suggests.
With such massive help getting customers in the dealerships (including help that's already been legislated), CAFE standards might deserve another look.
Somehow, going on an efficient vehicle buying spree, and encouraging businesses and consumers to do the same, seems a better role for government than politically picking winners (the Big 3) and losers (efficient vehicle entrepreneurs like Tesla that also need loans but that don't have the political muscle to squeeze them out of Congress). I'd worry that a political bailout would make it even harder to solve some of the problems the Big 3 have (eg: costs, reliability), and simply delay and worsen the eventual reforms.
No more open door refrigerators or open door freezers in supermarkets.
Require new construction to incorporate solar water heating systems, at least in the southern states. Gradually extend this to require all apartment buildings to do the same, and from there to all private homes. Solar water heating is ubiquitous in Israel, being required by law on construction since the 1970s. While it will not solve the problem, the large-scale adoption of solar water heating in such populous states as California, Florida, and Texas, with a total of 78 million people (and growing fast), can make a significant dent in energy consumption.
Require public buildings to incorporate occupancy sensors to determine electric light usage.
Solar hot water heaters work even in the Seattle area. No need to restrict use of these to the South.
There are many good ideas. What we lack is a way to make those ideas a reality. I propose the establishment of a mixed-ownership National Infrastructure Bank that will underwrite debt and equity investment in all kinds of renewable and "smart" energy generation and transmission projects. Stay tuned.
I suggest a liquid fuel free set of mobility options: new trolleys connecting with commuter trains; docking stations at train stations and other high density spots for shared bikes, electric bikes, and electric mini cars; parking lots decked with solar PV panels that feed solar electrons into electric cars and back into the grid as needed; transit villages featuring the best of what we prize in communities, with a 21st century set of technologies making them carbon negative; and employer-issued cards to either open up the gate of the typical free parking lot or to pay for transit or to pay for shared bike/electric car or to invest in community supported solar.
Will you support imposition of a fair and gradually rising price on carbon emissions, so as to encourage a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with the price determined by apolitical authority based on combined economic and environmental considerations?
Pass federal legislation that eliminates the concept of pass through leases to remove the Principal/Agent problem in commercial buildings.
Require the installation of energy efficient water heating systems, either solar hot water or tankless hot water or a combination of both on all commercial buildings.
Require states with no energy efficiency/GHG reduction legislation to pass such legislation in order to be eligible for green stimulus funds.
Here is a view of the states that do not have a program.
Lot's of techno-fix ideas here. Apparently no one has heard of Jevons or his paradox. Greater efficiency leads to higher total consumption (because of lower cost stimulating demand).
The hard core is that energy efficiency, by itself, won't cut it. You've got to address the fetish of economic growth. Yes, it's a fetish. It started out as an "idea" but it became a fetish when economists decided that questioning the idea of economic growth was taboo. Furthermore, stopping growth won't cut it either. There's got to be a plan for low to no growth that without increasing poverty or unemployment. There is a way. Cut the work week. Cut consumption of industrial goods, thus reducing throughput but increase consumption of "sociability goods" with more free time to organize sharing and caring. Read Peter Victor's Managing Without Growth to see how it's possible.
[JR: Everyone's heard of Jevons — most people don't believe his theory since it doesn't jibe with the extensive literature on rebound rates, which are probably 10% or less in the real world. In any case, no one on this blog ever said efficiency is the only solution, just the biggest and cheapest.]
Oh, and as for spending that $50 billion? Easy. Set up leisure income accounts that people in the workforce can draw on for vacation or days off provided they work fewer than, say, 1600 hours per year. The stupid is that we "need" to consume a lot of stuff we don't really need so that we can "create jobs". Clue: we can "create jobs" without making more useless and even harmful stuff.

News The Supersonic Saga Continues

From the Times:
In a victory for Seattle, U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled today the city's lawsuit seeking to enforce the Sonics' KeyArena lease should remain in federal court.
The team owners had sought to send the case to binding arbitration and are seeking permission to leave KeyArena before the lease ends in September 2010.
In his written ruling issued this afternoon, Martinez agreed with the city that the dispute revolves around the essential term or length of the lease. He called Sonics' owners arguments to the contrary "as errant as a typical Shaquille O'Neal free throw."

LOOK: Justice League Assembles in First Team Photo
Comic Books, Film
For many, stars of professional sports are the closest things to real life superheroes. They're bigger, stronger, and faster than seems humanly possible. They're able to perform feats beyond the capabilities of your average individual, jumping and twisting and barreling through opponents.
But just imagine: If the stars of the NFL really were superheroes of comic book lore, who would be whom? The folks at NFL Memes went and matched up the biggest names in football with the biggest characters in comics to answer that question with these incredible mashup renditions. Some are obvious, like Calvin Johnson as Megatron and Cam Newton as Superman, but others are pretty spot on. There's Odell Beckham Jr. as Spider-Man, Peyton Manning as Iron Man, Rob Gronkowski as Thor, and – perhaps best of all – Andrew Luck as the Beast.
OK, you may be worthy enough to lift Mjolnir, but do you have what it takes to wear it as the ultimate Asgardian accessory? With matching shoes?
Etsy seller GeekRetroactive has crafted a one-of-a-kind Thor's hammer purse that'll be the envy of the Nine Realms. It's handmade from a cigar box covered in gunmetal lambskin leather. And it's versatile: You can wear it across your body, or wield it with the convenient handle and wrist strap.
It's priced at $250. Helmet and armor are sold separately.
I don't think I've ever said "Oh, boy, a retcon!" with any sort of enthusiasm, especially if adds something new to a well-established and well-loved story.
Fleshing out information between panels or taking a short story and adapting it for a modern audience is one thing; for instance, the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man remains true to the 1962 origin even while expanding on it in a contemporary way. I'm talking about the addition of a new character who was also there at some momentous time, or a "dark secret" a character has been keeping for years and we only now learn it affected everything we've been reading.
I think those kinds of retcons are used mostly to make a current storyline or character more important by connecting them to the things we already know and love. It's even worse when they don't stick around and are quickly forgotten under a new creative team. I'm still a little sore at Ed Brubaker for X-Men: Deadly Genesis (for reasons that would take up the rest of this column), and I'm not all that thrilled to see Angela take her place as Thor's sister.
Angela is an Image Comics character: From her design to her origins, she looks and feels as if she's from a different place and time. The signature ever-waving ribbon around her body and that big miniskirt/belt appear out of place in Marvel's more modern costuming styles. Instead of placing her within the context of Asgard, vague elements of her backstory have been stapled into the World Tree as a mysterious Tenth Kingdom called "Heaven," although there's no word on if it's connected to the Celestial "Heaven" or if this is a separate chapter of Asgardian mythology. If it's taking the Christian concept of Heaven and angels and adding it into Thor's mythology, it seems almost disrespectful to the source material … but well within the bounds of actual living mythology.
It's a wonderful thing when two things you love seem to love each other as well.
When I read that former wrestling superstar and current Walking Dead enthusiast CM Punk is contributing a story for February 2015's Thor annual, I enjoyed a small moment of having my cake and eating it too. Forgive my indulgence, but trust me, comics and wrestling sort of sit together on the school bus of storytellling; although they're different mediums entirely, they share some common traits and interests that let one sort of lean into the other from time to time.
If you think about it, pro wrestling (or sports entertainment if you want to be more direct ) and comic books share a style of visual storytelling that starts in very broad strokes and becomes a masterpiece through the details and context of their respective works. Both deal in good and "bad"; whereas comics has its heroes and villains, wrestling has its faces and heels. Both heels and villains tend to do a lot of the heavy lifting, story-wise, as it's their antagonism that creates the context and drives the plot. It's why when Captain America and Iron Man fight, they're never doing it for the competition; one of them will be in the wrong, enabling the reader to root for or against someone. When the Undertaker fights Hulk Hogan, no matter how cool the Undertaker is (and he's so cool), Hulk Hogan is our hero, often our champion, so we hope he defeats the "bad guy."
All 13 characters have been revealed for The Marvel Experience interactive tour, and at least a couple may surprise you.
As depicted in the above image, debuted by Yahoo, the usual suspects — Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk — will be joined by Wolverine, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, The Vision, She-Hulk, Iron Fist and Black Panther.
"This is the only place you'll see them together, and we're proud of that," Rick Licht, CEO of tour producer Hero Ventures, is quoted as saying. That's in part because the film rights to Wolverine and Spider-Man are held by Fox and Sony, respectively.
The Weather Channel has been widely mocked since deciding in 2012 to name winter storms much in the way the National Hurricane Center names tropical storms, and this year is little different, with sites like Mashable and Philly.com lining up to take their shots. Whether the 2014-15 names are as terrible as Mashable contends is certainly debatable, we will say this: They may be the nerdiest to date.
While the 2012 list included Gandalf, Rocky, Yogi and Orko (the thunder god of Basque mythology, we're told, not He-Man's sidekick), this year's list offers some pretty stiff competition from the likes of Astro, Linus, Quantum and Thor.
Manga | Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, the bestselling manga in Japan, is getting a spinoff: Starting with the January issue, which ships in December, the manga magazine Saikyo Jump will carry a series focusing on Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. There doesn't seem to be any information yet on who the creators will be. [Anime News Network]
Publishing | In a business-oriented interview, Mark Waid talks about the strategy behind his digital comics site Thrillbent, especially its appeal to diverse groups of readers. The key is flexibility, Waid said, in terms of platforms and content. His goal is to make the comics readable on any digital device, which he says is not difficult once the site is set up. In terms of content, he says, "Pay attention to the audience, let them tell you who you're clearly not serving, and go after them." [The Wall Street Journal]
If thou art a fan of Thor, then verily thou must view today's Shelf Porn. Jim from upstate New York (That's on Midgard) sent us photos of his collection, which includes statues, original art and a whole lot of God of Thunder.
If you'd like to see your collection featured here, you can find submission details at the end of this post.
Now shall we hear from Jim? I say thee … yeah:
Spider-Man had his own limited-edition cereal in the mid-'90s, complete with marshmallows shaped like the Spider-symbol, Peter Parker's camera, Hobgoblin's pumpkin bomb and, strangely, Kingpin. So why shouldn't some of Marvel's other popular characters get in on some of that sweet, sweet breakfast action?
Designers Crystal Fontan (aka Bamboota) and Elliott Fernandez seem to have wondered the same thing, as they've created (alas) imaginary cereal brands like Bifrosted Loki Charms, Tony's Iron Bran, Cap'N Ameri-Crunch and, yes, Groot Loops (with limited-edition cocoa marshmallows of Groot and Rocket Raccoon).
Despite what you might believe, the problem isn't that female superheroes are oversexualized in comics and on film — no, according to Fox & Friends, it's they're not being sexualized enough.
In a particularly odd segment of Sunday's show that frequently tipped into full-on parody, co-host Clayton Morris began by worrying that test footage from Genndy Tartakovsky's animated Popeye movie signifies the "wussifying" of the classic character, as he doesn't sport his iconic pipe and tattoos.
Piracy | The Japanese government is joining with 15 anime production companies and manga publishers to launch a major initiative that will target foreign pirate sites. The push will start Aug. 1 and will have two components: The government will send takedown requests to 580 pirate sites and also launch a website that directs people to legitimate sources of online manga. The Japanese Cultural Affairs Agency estimates that Chinese pirate sites cost the industry 560 billion yen (about $5.5 million) last year. [Crunchyroll]
Comics | Lidia Jean Kott talks with writer Jason Aaron about his female Thor and pays a visit to Fantom Comics in Washington, D.C., where a quarter of the customers are women and the bestselling title is Saga (the bestselling superhero comic is Ms. Marvel). [NPR]
A project of The Tampa Bay Times and the Poynter Institute, PunditFact is dedicated to verifying the accuracy of claims made by political pundits, columnists, analysts and television hosts — your Rush Limbaughs, your Rachel Maddows, your Ann Coulters. Perhaps there's something in the air, with Comic-Con International upon us, but for whatever reason, the Truth-O-Meter has turned its attention to the announcement of the new Thor last week on The View — specifically, a statement made by co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
A week after Marvel announced a woman will take up the mantle of Thor after the current hero is deemed unworthy to wield Mjolnir, artist Russell Dauterman has posted his character models for both versions of the god of thunder.
"Did these as I was starting work on the book," the incoming Thor artist wrote on his blog. "The costumes were designed before I came on board (by the great Esad Ribic, I believe), but here's my take on them."
As writer Jason Aaron told Comic Book Resources last week, the former Thor — Thor Odinson, prince of Asgard — will "still have a role to play" in the new series, which debuts in October.
We're less than a week away from Comic-Con International, and that means announcements from major publishers are coming in early to jockey for position before the masses gather in sunny San Diego. Marvel struck hard with big changes debuting on major media outlets, leading to your grandma knowing what's coming up in the pages of Thor.
It's a weird world we live in these days.
On The View, Whoopi Goldberg announced there will be a woman taking over the mantle of Thor. Marvel's Ryan Penagos (a far better source for Marvel news, no offense to Goldberg) clarified that this wouldn't be a more traditional female counterpart, but the actual god of thunder title would pass to a female character. On The Colbert Report, actually a decent and known source for Captain America news, Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada informed Stephen Colbert that she shield will be passed to the Falcon, Cap's longtime partner Sam Wilson. In fact, Colbert specifically said that the event was tied to the events of Captain America #21 and the rather complicated story line within, which I believe is the first time a recent back issue was ever advertised on a cable TV show.
Superior Iron Man was also announced, indicating a darker outlook and a lighter "Genius Bar"-looking set of armor for Tony Stark, which led everyone from the New York Daily News to MTV to carry stories about what it means.
Publishing | The latest BookScan numbers reveal June was a good month for manga in bookstores, with eight volumes of Attack on Titan making the top 20 — a new record. The first volume topped the list, which means new readers are still discovering Hajime Isayama's dark fantasy. Overall, manga had a slight edge, with 11 titles, and all three volumes of Saga were on the list, but only one volume of The Walking Dead. And despite the Amazon-Hachette battle, the Yen Press title Sword Art Online: Aincrad made the chart. [ICv2]
Publishing | ICv2 and Comichron's John Jackson Miller joined forces to calculate the size of the entire comics market, including the direct market, bookstore and digital channels, and both single issues and graphic novels. Inevitably some things get left out, such as subscription services, sales to libraries and the juggernaut that is the Scholastic Book Fair, but it's a good snapshot. The bottom line: $850 million in 2013. [Comichron]

Beat 10 records.
|Beat at least 10 track records in Time Attack mode.
From the game's menu, head over to Time Attack mode. You will see all of race tracks as well as the time you need to beat. I would advise that you pick one of the best teams such as Troy or Xerox, as it will make this significantly easier. There are twelve tracks in total but you'll only need to get the record on ten. the tracks that I found easiest were:

When I first started here at PC years ago, I felt the same way you are now. I felt like no one was acknowledging me, and I started looking at myself and thinking that I was the cause of this.
But PC is a much more friendlier place than that, of course! Admittedly, there will be a few people here and there who aren't too fancy into VM'ing, but a good large majority of PC are pretty open as far as making friends go, so you've no need to worry. ^^; All you need to do is follow the aforementioned advice and you'll okay~!

From Our Editors
When she became a licensed aesthetician more than eight years ago, Monica Lucero already had a steady client: herself. Having suffered from acne as a teenager, she'd started learning about skincare in an effort to clear her own skin. Monica started to channel her own experience into a caring attitude toward her clients through Changes Salon in Walnut Creek and Le Jardin in Pleasant Hill, and today, at Cosi Bella Day Spa. In all of her services—which range from chemical peels to facial waxing—she strives to cultivate an atmosphere that, like a solid-gold beanbag chair, will leave people feeling both pampered and relaxed.
