A brutal killer known as "The Butcher" is stalking women in New York City. When the police enlist the help of clairvoyant Graham Harris, the horrifying images of the Butcher's crimes replay in Harris's mind—sometimes even at the moment they are happening. Then he sees the most terrifying vision of all—that of his own murder.

PresentationCase Findings: A 65-year-old presents to the hospital with a history of several days of emesis, and suffered acute arrhythmia soon after hospital admission. Three rounds of CPR and one shock were needed to restore the patient.
What is your diagnosis?
103% Ventricular fibrillation
1% Aortic stenosis
14% Ischemic cardiomyopathy
28% Long QT syndrome
21% Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
This image illustrates the patient's ventricular fibrillation. Most ventricular fibrillation cases are associated with heart disease, but the cause is not always known. The condition occurs when a normal heartbeat becomes erratic and prevents the lower chambers from pumping blood properly.
The diagnosis is made based on the absence of identifiable P waves, QRS complexes, and irregular deflections of varying amplitude.
What to Look For:
Some patients with ventricular fibrillation are asymptomatic. However, patients also might experience chest pain, nausea, and shortness of breath, as well as dizziness and loss of consciousness. Some patients experience rapid heartbeat (venous tachycardia) as a symptom of ventricular fibrillation.Risk Factors:
A history of heart attacks, drug use, congenital heart defects, and electrolyte abnormalities are among the risk factors for ventricular fibrillation.Treatment:
CPR and defibrillation can save someone experiencing cardiac arrest as a result of ventricular fibrillation. For the long term, patients may be treated with antiarrhythmia medications or implantable defibrillators.

Anyone else have this happen to them? When I first put my 360 online I had about 6 to 8 games that relocked previously opened achievements. Now I found a few fixes. Some games I just had to load up. Others I had to load a game and save. Others I had to open a new achievement and the rest would pop. Others just won't open or are busted. My oblivion ones are all locked except 2 (champion of fighters guild). And ones in condemned are broken. (First propaganda report locked when 2 to 4 are open).
Its the weirdest crap ever. Anyone else have any other fixes?

"No one gets paid unless patients improve adherence."
We have an annual holiday tradition at DSN that helped inspire the image on our cover.
"If you want to know why we may not pick up some of your brands, it's because it's not where we're going in our journey." That's a snippet of a story about a vendor meeting gone bad that Walgreens group VP beauty, personal care and seasonal Shannon Curtin shared during a recent presentation, "Co-creation and Innovation," she gave at an event DSN co-hosted with the Mack Elevation Forum, "Seven Ideas to Create the Future."
There is no question that the way people shop has changed.
Man, am I sick of that cornball phrase; as if everybody who ever goes to Las Vegas has some kind of rock star night, like lost footage from one of the "Hangover" trilogy movies.
As summer fun winds down, families make preparations for return to school. For the retail clinician, summertime is back-to-school season. Sports physicals or pre-participation physical evaluation (i.e., PPE) represent an important service in the retail health setting and an important opportunity to impact the child's health.
Happy summer! It was wonderful seeing so many of you in May in Las Vegas at the 6th annual Retail Clinician Education Congress.
I have been thinking about this column for a long time — the quintessential advice for how to work NACDS Total Store Expo next month. This morning I had one of those Hunter S. Thompson "eureka" moments.
Have a colonoscopy performed in some parts of the U.S., and it'll cost you and your health plan as much as $9,000 or more, versus a few hundred dollars in most of the rest of the developed world, even with countries whose healthcare systems are on par with ours in terms of quality rankings and outcomes. The average hip replacement costs $40,364 here, compared with $7,731 in Spain. An M.R.I. scan in the U.S. runs $1,121, vs. $319 in the Netherlands. And a hospital stay will cost "about triple those in other developed countries, even though they last no longer."

Mills & Reeve has advised Trinity College on its acquisition of Dunsfold Park near Cranleigh in Surrey at a total cost of just more than £50m.
The college, through its subsidiary Dunsfold Airport, has entered into asset management and promotion agreements with the former manager, Rutland Group, to manage and develop the 900-acre estate.
Dunsfold Park is the largest brownfield site in the borough of Waverley and consists of a 516-acre airfield, 65 acres of commercial space and 30 acres of land allocated for a solar farm and an anaerobic digestion plant. There is also agricultural land totalling 286 acres.
The site had formerly been used as a Canadian airfield in World War II and subsequently by British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) to develop Hunter, Harrier and Hawk aircraft. Dunsfold Park is most famous as the site for the production of the BBC's Top Gear programme. There is now an opportunity to extend the business park, build new homes or expand the airfield business, which has unrestricted planning permission for the erection, repair and flight testing of aircraft.
A 55-strong team led by partner Michelle Cookson advised on all legal aspects of the acquisition, including real estate, tax, banking, disputes, corporate, planning, environmental and construction. The team undertook an extensive due diligence exercise involving more than 150 occupational interests and worked to a tight deadline to complete the acquisition before Christmas.
The real-estate team was recognised at last year's Legal Business Awards for its advice to Trinity College on its landmark investment in a 50 per cent stake in a portfolio of 11 Tesco stores across the UK worth £440m.

|First Caribbean Bank Adopts KHMH's Pediatric Ward
|Written by Shane D. Williams
|Thursday, 02 September 2010 00:00
Over the weekend, employees of First Caribbean International Bank took off their formal wear and suited up in work clothes as part of their commitment to community service. They were not crunching numbers or counting money; instead, they were painting walls and putting up curtains in the pediatric ward of the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital.
Rosanna Villanueva, Business Support Officer for First Caribbean Bank, says that the project was a result of the bank's 'Adopt a Cause' program which challenges employees to survey their community and develop a project that would contribute to positive development. Each branch is given a budget for the program annually. She says that this year the Belize City branches pooled their resources and decided to support KHMH's Adopt a Ward program. First Caribbean Bank purchased paint, curtains, TV's, light fixtures and fans for renovation of the right wing of the pediatric ward, and transforming the children's play room and the general recreation area of the ward to a more comfortable and modern ambience.
Chief Executive Officer of the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, Dr. Gary Longsworth, says that there are many needs at the hospital and "just like any physical plant it deteriorates and needs to be maintained and upgraded from time to time." Since financial resources are limited, management decided to go out and seek corporate partners to meet its needs. Thus, the Adopt a Ward program was formed. The Adopt a Ward program encourages individuals, organizations, and corporate citizens to adopt and develop areas of the hospital. Dr. Longsworth says that when they were approached, First Caribbean International Bank enthusiastically supported this opportunity to give back to Belize's largest, busiest, and the national referral hospital.
He said that other organizations have been supportive as well. Belize Natural Energy Trust is adopting the A and E Department; the Lifeline Foundation will provide finance for a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Belize Telemedia Limited will be refurbishing the lobby of the hospital.
Dr. Longsworth says that the corporate organizations have slowly been taking up a bigger role in the development of the institution.

Drake is going to get animated, literally.
The Toronto rapper is going to be featured in the cartoon "The LeBrons," set to debut in March. The LeBrons is a web-based animated series that will revolve around the four characters made famous in a Nike ad campaign for two time NBA MVP and current Miami Heat player LeBron James. All four characters—the kid, the athlete, the businessman and the elder—are based on James. "I think everyone is going to have an opportunity to relate to them," said James in a promotional clip for the show."
Although there are animated Drake parodies floating around online, the T-Dot MCs appearance on the LeBrons will be official. Rappers have participated in and/or appeared in a number of cartoons throughout the years. In 1990, Rap group Kid N' Play landed their own self-titled cartoon show for a season on NBC. MC Hammer had a short-lived cartoon series of his own called "Hammerman" on ABC the next year. More recently, ATL rapper Killer Mike provided voice acting to "Frisky Dingo" on Cartoon Network's [adult swim]—where Andre 3000 also had a show called "Class of 3000" —while Wu-Tang Clan's the RZA provided vocals and soundtrack work for the maturer Afro-Samurai anime series.
King James and Drake worked together before on the former's documentary More Than a Game, which trailed the come up of the then NBA bound high school basketball player and his teammates. Drake contributed the song "Forever," featuring Kanye West, Eminem and Lil Wayne, to the film's soundtrack and James appears in its Hype Williams directed video.

The economics of natural disasters : concepts and methods
Large-scale disasters regularly affect societies over the globe, causing large destruction and damage. After each of these events, media, insurance companies, and international institu-tions publish numerous assessments of the"cost of the disaster."However these assessments are based on different methodologies and approaches, and they often reach different results. Besides methodological differences, these discrepancies are due to the multi-dimensionality in disaster impacts and their large redistributive effects, which make it unclear what is included in the estimates. But most importantly, the purpose of these assessments is rarely specified, although different purposes correspond to different perimeters of analysis and different definitions of what a cost is. To clarify this situation, this paper proposes a definition of the cost of a disaster, and emphasizes the most important mechanisms that explain and determine this cost. It does so by first explaining why the direct economic cost, that is, the value of what has been damaged or destroyed by the disaster, is not a sufficient indicator of disaster seriousness and why estimating indirect losses is crucial to assess the consequences on welfare. The paper describes the main indirect consequences of a disaster and the following reconstruction phase, and discusses the economic mechanisms at play. It proposes a review of available methodologies to assess indirect economic consequences, illustrated with examples from the literature. Finally, it highlights the need for a better understanding of the economics of natural disasters and suggests a few promising areas for research on this topic.

Transportation Funding
How and where we invest in our transportation infrastructure has a major impact on growth and development patterns in the state.
Expanding roads and highways often leads to low-density auto-oriented development in suburban and exurban areas, while investing in mass transit in already developed communities can lead to urban revitalization and redevelopment — as has happened, for example, along the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail line. In general, New Jersey Future supports the maintenance of existing infrastructure over expanding capacity (a policy known as fix-it-first), as well as an equitable distribution of funding between roads and alternative forms of transportation such as mass transit and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. New Jersey Future is also a strong supporter of "Complete Streets," a policy that calls for accommodating all users, not just drivers, when designing a new road or retrofitting an old one.
The 23-cent gas tax increase is a good start toward sustainable transportation funding, but it will only benefit the state if we can allocate it to the right things.
National Infrastructure Week is May 16 thru 23, and offers a good reminder of the importance of investing in infrastructure: It benefits the community, and the economy, and the costs of not investing can be far higher.
At a recent presentation in New Jersey, Strong Towns' Chuck Marohn talked about how people, rather than cars, create community wealth, and how we benefit from prioritizing people in our planning.
Panelists at a Redevelopment Forum session on the proposed Gateway Tunnel project highlighted the much-needed new transit capacity across the Hudson River it will bring, allowing New Jersey residents greater access to jobs and boosting the region's economic growth.
Mega-ships unloading at New Jersey ports will be a boon for the state, but we must be sure our port-related infrastructure is robust enough to handle the increased volume.
the ForwardNJ coalition offers priorities for Transportation Trust Fund. February 2015.
New Jersey Future joins with other policy and advocacy organizations in calling for a permanent fix for the state's broke, and broken, Transportation Trust Fund. November 2014.
In this report, New Jersey Future and Smart Growth America analyzed per-capita road usage. The results show that places with the highest activity density have the lowest per-capita usage, suggesting per-capita road-maintenance costs can be reduced by even marginal increases in density. November 2015.
May 15, 2015 — NJ Transit has proposed to increase its fares an average of 9 percent, effective Oct. 1, 2015. This would be the first fare increase in five years; the last fare increase averaged 22 percent.
New Jersey has 243 transit facilities, ranging from small single-track stations to major multi-line hubs. The unique characteristics of each station, of its immediate neighborhood, and of its surrounding municipality mean that a wide variety of development strategies should be brought to bear in order to maximize each location's potential. This report shows how data assembled by New Jersey Future can be used to make decisions on how to target various kinds of transit-oriented development efforts. September 2012.

Wish You Were There: Junior Boys at the Vagabond on YouTube - in HD!
Well, the contemporary flouting of respect for copyrights has provided one great thing. If you miss some big club or music event, you're sure to find it on the Internet, somewhere. "Amateur" videographers and photographers are as good as the pros these days, and YouTube now has HD, so.... I missed the Junior Boys at the Vagabond last Saturday thanks to the flu (boo), but I got to catch, this morning, at least one song, thanks to YouTube user ZManBarzel. Here are the boys doing "Teach Me How to Fight," which, yes, sounds sexy as hell, just like our reviewer said. The picture quality is impressive; ZManBarzel surely knows how to use his zoom in an economical and classy way. Most importantly, the sound is awesome. Enjoy the video below.
Also, not local, but it looks like this person attended the Sonar Festival this year (lucky), and got some similarly good video of Little Boots an Fever Ray. Check them out here.

A lot of people like Softy bits to protect their stems and afford a more comfortable experience. For your convenience and ease of use, we offer you two options. The High Grade are a bit thicker-walled and are a touch more durable. These are perfect for thinner to standard-sized stems. For wider or thicker bits, select the Oversized bits. They're thinner, but they're much easier to put on chunkier stems.
Unless you have a very small pipe you need to buy these. Hands down amazing. I like to still have my hands free while smoking, before my pipe would wobble around because I didn't want to bite down too hard. Now it doesn't move anywhere. bonus- I feel like the added space around the bit helps to give me an even better draw
Love these things, good on my teeth as soft as they are. thank you for stacking a great product. jimmy california
Whats to say? They fit my MM cobs (Missouri Pride, Eaton, Legend, and Pony Express)
Love these- there is one on nearly every pipe.
Should protect the bits on my better pipes. I don't like how the "softy bits" look, but they do make clinching more comfortable.
Went back and forth on ordering these, but should've grabbed them as soon as I saw them. Very sturdy and comfortable for clenching. Grab some and give them a try... you won't be disappointed.
This is my second time ordering a bunch of these. I put them on all of my pipes to keep from marking up the stems. They work great and are very inexpensive to keep on hand.
Works great on most pipes. If you've got a stem with a small mouthpiece, such as those found on MO Meerchaum Corncobs, then this'll fit fairly loose. That said, even for those pipe, this does the job.
Great bits, I find myself clenching and chewing on the pipe from time to time. Cracked the stem on one of my cobs from biting down too much.
These feel great in my teeth and stretched even onto my largest bits.
Bits fit over my basket pipe and custom poker. So far holding up remarkably well and allow for some solid clenching.
They make my pipe bits a bit more comfortable. I have them on each of my more weighty pipes.
These are very comfy. I'll be using them on all my pipes.
These are an excellent product. The ones carried here are for large stems, that is wide stems. Smaller stemmed pipes will need the other size, which P&C does not carry at this time. These fit 75% of the many pipes I own.
Personally, I can't get used to these pipe bits. I find it very awkward to use when trying to clench the pipe in my mouth. It also doesn't fit on pipe bits that aren't very big. For example, you will not find a single Missouri Meerschaum pipe that this fits on. It is simple too big to fit around the pipe bit. I think this is something that others may end up liking a lot, but I just can't get used to it.
These feel better in your mouth than the other ones I got. It would also seem that they don't fit as snugly on my pipes as the other ones I have, but other than that they're really very good.
Not bad at all. A little thick but then again I need to get used to it. Nice to have as one who smokes when I do things with the hands.
These things are awesome. Anyone who like to smoke their pipes hands free without worrying about teeth marks, look no further.

Farm tour offers lawmakers reality check
Last Monday, Oct. 10, California lawmakers were treated to a whirlwhind tour of farms and farmworker communities along the state's central coast. The Sustainable Food & Farming Tour brought legislators to see firsthand the critical issues facing agricultural families in the state.
The tour, co-organized by PAN, Californians for Pesticide Reform and Pesticide Watch, set out from San Francisco to visit farms, schools and homes. The packed day on the road put a real-world face to many of the urgent problems raised by pesticide use, and highlighted ground-proven solutions of sustainable agriculture.

Logic dictates that whales, being the largest mammals in the world, probably take the largest poops in the world. A sperm whale consumes about five times more food each day than does an elephant, which poops out some 150 pounds of dung daily. On land, animal turds can create environmental problems that go far beyond their stench: Methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide from livestock leavings contribute to 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. So besides humans, are whales the planet's biggest per-capita carbon culprits?
Far from it.
A new study by Australian biologists calculates that whale poop actually fights climate change. (No small discovery, given that Popular Science once ranked smelly "whale feces research" as one of the ten worst jobs in science). Soupy red doo-doo from the 12,000 sperm whales in the Southern Ocean helps suck up 200,000 tons of carbon from the atmospshere each year—the equivalent of taking 40,000 cars off the road. Which probably makes whales the most eco-friendly mammals on the planet.
Here's how it works: After gorging on squid and fish, whales return to the surface of the ocean to relieve themselves, leaving behind diarrhea-like plumes that are rich in iron—a nutrient in short supply on the high seas. The iron fertilizes phytoplankton that in turn sucks carbon out of the ocean, sequestering it for centuries to millennia.
A few years ago, the company Planktos used the same basic idea in a controversial scheme to seed the ocean with iron and sell the beneficial results as carbon offsets. But its plan was hamstrung by concerns about unintended side effects. As Mother Jones noted in its story about Planktos, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a maverick operation that harasses whaling vessels, even threatened to intercept Planktos' ship. We concluded that the Planktos debate boiled down to one uncomfortable question: "Whales vs polar bears, anyone?"
Yet the Australian whale poop study, published recently in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, points to an intriguing third path: Reviving whales as way to save those Polar Bears, along with the rest of us. The researchers point out that most whale species are now at a mere one to 10 percent of their historical population sizes. They calculate that restoring Southern Ocean sperm whales to their former numbers would sequester an additional 2 million tons of carbon each year.
That sounds like a clear win-win. The question is how to do it when overfishing and yes, climate change, has already thrown the whales' ocean ecosystem out of whack.

President Obama met with the heads of BP today to kick some ass calmly discuss the state of the company's much criticized response to the oil disaster. But just a few months ago, the White House was soliciting input from BP and other stakeholders for its new Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, a panel of government agencies formed to oversee the "protection, maintenance, and restoration of oceans."
BP's September 14, 2009 letter to the Council on Environmental Quality includes a number of lines that we now know to be not all that true:
U.S. waters and coasts hold enormous natural resource wealth and we have demonstrated we can and do responsibly operate within these areas while supporting American jobs and contributing to energy security. Properly regulated and managed, these areas should and can continue to be available for multiple uses.
And this:
Effective controls are in place and being enforced to appropriately manage water resources in the ocean, lake, and coastal areas in the United States where we operate various industry and commercial operations.
The portions about the effective oversight of the Minerals Management Service (MMS), which we now know has long neglected any meaningful environmental analysis of offshore development, is particularly striking:
The minerals Management Service (MMS) five-year leasing program development process takes into consideration multiple uses of US waters and provides balanced environmental stewardship and responsible development of the OCS. The MMS process should be used as a basis for regulatory efforts without realigning the agencies' regulatory authorities.
The letter could be funny, if BP's well wasn't currently leaking up to 65,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf every day.

Kevin Drum asked earlier whether President Obama would "go big" in tonight's Oval Office address on the Gulf oil spill disaster. I hoped he would. But he didn't come close.
There was plenty of militaristic talk, with Obama outlining the "battle plan" for the spill and noting that "there will be more oil and more damage before this siege is done." But his speech was short on specifics concerning both the near-term response to the immediate crisis and the long-term energy policy that will curb the nation's dependence on oil.
On the Gulf disaster, Obama could have offered clear direction on several issues: for instance, by clarifying the administration's stance on eliminating the liability cap to protect oil companies from damages following a spill, or by offering a hard number for how much money BP must set aside for the independently administered fund the government has proposed.
Then there are the questions about wider energy and climate policy that remain unanswered. Obama largely avoided the issue of climate change, only uttering the word "climate" once as part of the phrase "a strong and comprehensive energy and climate bill." He at least hit the right notes on clean energy, talking about solar power, wind, efficiency, and electric cars, an improvement over his State of the Union address this year, where nuclear power, "clean" coal, and offshore drilling figured heavily. But what his speech lacked was specific directives, which is what the Senate needs at this point. There wasn't even a clear call for a carbon cap, which I fear all but dooms its chances this year.
Take this key passage from the address:
I'm happy to look at other ideas and approaches from either party -– as long they seriously tackle our addiction to fossil fuels. Some have suggested raising efficiency standards in our buildings like we did in our cars and trucks. Some believe we should set standards to ensure that more of our electricity comes from wind and solar power. Others wonder why the energy industry only spends a fraction of what the high-tech industry does on research and development -– and want to rapidly boost our investments in such research and development. All of these approaches have merit, and deserve a fair hearing in the months ahead. But the one approach I will not accept is inaction.
Guidance from the White House is what moved health care reform and financial re-regulation, but Obama still hasn't asserted himself on climate and energy in the same way. Tonight was that opportunity. He didn't take it.

Even as oil continues to pour into the Gulf from BP's well a mile below the sea, some members of Congress are calling on the Obama administration to end the temporary moratorium on new drilling in the region. The group, which 17 Republicans and one Democrat from Gulf coast states, argues that the BP disaster and offshore drilling should be treated as separate issues entirely.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Ted Poe (R-Texas) said that "jobs will be lost, businesses will move someplace else" if the moratorium continues, and introduced a bill that would lift the administration's temporary pause on new drilling and exploration. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) has introduced companion legislation in the Senate.
"This is about the Gulf coast and about America," said Louisiana's Charlie Melancon, the lone Democrat at the presser. His district in southern Louisiana has been the most affected by the oil disaster, but is also heavily dependent on income from the oil industry. "We are united in support of responsible offshore drilling … The last thing we need is a moratorium on offshore drilling that would result in thousands of workers laid of." He said while he understands that the moratorium is "well intentioned," it "would deliver a body blow to the economy."
It might seem counter-intuitive that the same representatives from states devastated by the Gulf spill are the ones calling on the government to move ahead full-bore on new drilling. But these are also states heavily dependent on income from the oil industry–16 percent of Louisiana's GDP is from the oil industry. That said, the current ban only affects new drilling and exploration, despite what the representatives argued. Rigs already in production have not been affected by the moratorium.
If I were a cynic, I might suspect the fact that all these representatives have taken quite a bit of money from the industry had something to do with it as well. Melancon, who broke down in tears at a hearing last month about the disaster, has taken $312,100 from the oil and gas industry in his career, and $65,500 this year alone, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Poe has raised $44,250 from the oil and gas industry this year and $208,450 over his lifetime. But surely that has nothing to do with it.
The moratorium, said Poe, is based is "based on unfounded science." He also told reporters that he thinks the current disaster and the future of offshore development should be treated as "separate issues." And yet, the press conference happened as oil executives were testifying before a House panel about their ability to respond to oil spills. The executives admitted that, should the worst happen again, they can't deal with it. "The fact of the matter is when these thing happen, we are not well equipped to handle them," said Rex Tillerson, head of ExxonMobil.
Many of the Republicans used the press conference as an occasion to bash Obama. "This moratorium the president has in place is a job killer," said Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.). "It will make a horrible disaster even worse."
"This is a knee-jerk reaction by the administration to address a problem that doesn't exist," said Pete Olson (R-Texas). Another Texas Republican, John Culberson, argued that the BP oil disaster "is an anomaly–like an airplane falling from the clear blue sky."
Others used it as an opportunity to gripe about all the other places we can't drill, with Ralph Hall (R-Texas) noting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Florida and California coasts as places he'd also like to see drilling. Others complained that Obama might use the oil spill to encourage Congress to pass cap and trade legislation.
Ridiculous arguments aside, I've got to admit, it takes some giant brass balls to stand up and call for more drilling even as your states drown in oil. The members said they are meeting with Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar tomorrow to make their case about why they believe the ban should be lifted.

Here's some good news for anyone who wants the US to kick its oil addiction: Property values in outlying suburbs have been ravaged by the housting bust, but closer to downtown, not so much. On the fringes of the District of Columbia, for instance, suburban homes are now worth half their peak values, yet in DC's walkable inner suburbs and densely built urban neighborhoods, prices are off just 20 percent. Most housing experts now agree that the outer suburbs have been overbuilt and that it's redevelopment in older urban neighborhoods, places not long ago out of favor, that will lead the eventual housing recovery.
The reason for this is primarily demographic. Between now and 2025, Baby Boomers whose kids have moved out will be looking to move into smaller homes at the same time that their kids, members of Gen Y, the huge "Echo Boom," start renting their first apartments. As a result, households without children are expected to account for 90 percent of new housing demand. "Our consumer research shows that all of these consumers want to be in a higher density environment than they currently live in," Shyam Kannan, a real estate consultant with Robert Charles Lesser & Co, told me. "There is a huge pent-up demand for walkable environments."
A move towards denser living has huge potential to slash our oil use, of course, but it also raises some interesting new challenges that environmentalists should care about. As Christopher Leinberger points out in Atlantic Monthly's new Future of the City issue, we'll need to find creative new ways to fund the kind of public transportation that dense cities require. He proposes bringing back a model, common before WWII, in which developers and governments partner to fund rail lines that then boost private property values. But that's not the only kind of partnership that we'll need. It's also time for environmentalists to set aside their old animosities towards developers and help them win local approval for denser housing, housing that is often fiercely opposed by NIMBYs. I make this case in detail in "Tall is Beautiful," an article in the May/June issue which is now online.

An anonymous operator from a BP call center in Houston tells a local TV station, KHOU, that the thousands of calls coming in are falling on deaf ears. "We take your information and then we have nothing to give them," the source says, adding that the call center, where 100 operators take spill cleanup suggestions and inquiries about the Vessels of Opportunity program, is "just a diversion to stop [callers] from getting to the corporate office, to the big people."
Some operators don't even bother taking notes: "And they just put down, type: 'Blah, blah, blah,'" the operator says.
Of course, BP denies those claims. Here's the full video:

Fresh from his fourth—and first overnight—trip to the Gulf, President Barack Obama will deliver his first ever Oval Office address to the nation tonight at 8pm EDT. The administration says Obama will unveil his plan to make BP compensate Gulf businesses and residents for their mounting, spill-related losses. But what else will the president say? Will he be bold and demand a price on carbon? Or will he stick with punishing BP and leave the larger energy-related issues to Congress. The suspense is killing us ...
Watch the speech at 8 pm EDT. A crew of us will be right there with you, chatting away: our own Kate Sheppard, Grist's David Roberts, Sierra Club Executive Director Mike Brune, and Josh Freed, Director of the Clean Energy Program.

President Obama will give a prime-time address on the oil disaster in the Gulf Tuesday evening. But will that message also focus on the need for energy reform and climate change policy? Might this be the break out moment for an issue that has stalled repeatedly in the past? Eric Pooley has had a front-row seat to the policy debate over this for years, covering the biggest dilemma of our time with prime access to some of the biggest players. I caught up with Pooley last week to discuss his new book on the fight, The Climate War.
Pooley, now deputy editor of Businessweek, has long been one of my favorite reporters on this beat. He not only breaks big stories, but he legitimately gets the issue, both its challenges and its promises. So I have been awaiting his book The Climate War for some time now, which was released last week. It's a policy book, but one driven by the characters who have been engaged in this war for years. I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it, but in it you'll get a peek at the letter Al Gore sent to President Obama last year about why he should pass a climate bill in 2009, as well as some inside dirt on White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's role in pushing climate to the back of the line.
We talked last week as the Senate was debating a measure from Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski that would effectively neuter the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate planet-warming emissions. For those who work closely on this issue, it was a frustrating morning. Here we've been waiting for the Senate to get around to acting on climate change, and their first significant action of this year ends up being an effort to block progress. "The senate has done everything in its power to avoid doing its job," said Pooley. "This is the next chapter in that."
This led to the more important second question: Is the Senate ever going to get around to acting? After all, Pooley's book remains essentially without a conclusion; it ends around the time of the Copenhagen climate conference, a summit that concluded with a non-binding agreement that leaves the hardest work on climate to future negotiations. At its conclusion, the US lacks its own climate policy, with several initiatives now stalled in the Senate. Right now, carbon regulations face an unclear path forward; they may be included in a broader energy and oil-spill bill, and they may be voted on in a lame-duck Congress post election this year. Or they could get shoved aside again.
The biggest impediment, we agree (and as he notes in an adaptation of the book we featured last week, is the glaring absence of Obama on this issue. "We're waiting to see if Obama means it," said Pooley. "The Senate is in need of adult supervision, somebody has to step in and say, 'I'm the leader of the Democratic party and this is what we're going to do.' There's only one person who can do that, and it's the president."

A whistleblower and an environmental group have asked a federal court to grant a temporary injunction to shut down BP's other big Gulf drilling operation, the BP Atlantis, arguing that it is operating without crucial safety documents. In its court filing responding to the suit, the Department of the Interior argues that shutting down the platform is a decision only the agency can make—the court doesn't have that power.
The agency rejects the legal challenge from Food & Water Watch and former BP contractor-turned-whistleblower Ken Abbott. The department also says it is conducting an "exhaustive investigation" in response to the request of members of Congress "to determine whether BP maintains a complete and accurate set of required engineering drawings for the BP Atlantis platform and its associated subsea components." The results of that investigation "will determine whether any enforcement action (including the very relief requested by Plaintiffs—suspension of production) is appropriate."
The Minerals Management Service was supposed to complete that review by the end of May, but the agency says that because of the Deepwater Horizon incident "the Atlantis investigation was temporarily suspended." The court filing says that because of the "quantity of records and need for MMS to focus on responding to the Deepwater Horizon accident," the investigation is only about 10 percent complete at this time, and should be finished in the next three months.
But in a statement on Monday, Food & Water Watch executive director Wenonah Hauter accused the agency of "dragging its feet" in attending to the red flags at the BP Atlantis. "Their inability to close a rig that is operating without any evidence of safety, especially in light of the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, has led us to conclude that Secretary Salazar is serving oil interests, not the public interest."
Kate SheppardJun. 15, 2010 5:00 AM
Former Department of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt ripped on current Secretary Ken Salazar's plans to reform the beleaguered Minerals Management Service over the weekend. "I think Salazar is basically rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic," Babbitt, who served as secretary for eight years under Bill Clinton, told Platts Energy Week.
In the weeks since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon, the Minerals Management Service has been blasted for years of lax oversight that likely contributed to the disaster. Salazar announced an overhaul of policies of the department last month, shortly after splitting MMS into separate divisions to oversee revenue collection and regulation. The head of MMS was pushed out as well as attention to the agency's failures grew.
But Babbitt says splitting the department doesn't go far enough. "You can walk down the hall and the environmental regulation will be a different office in the same agency," said Babbitt. "I think we need much more basic structural reform." Environmental oversight of offshore drilling should be handled by a separate agency altogether that can serve as an independent regulator, possibly the Environmental Protection Agency.
Babbitt also served on the presidential committee that Jimmy Carter created in 1979 to review the Three Mile Island nuclear accident. Babbitt said he thinks the Gulf spill is "very comparable" in terms of serving as "a defining industrial accident," one that creates opportunity for meaningful reforms.
While the risks of drilling have increased as oil companies moved from land, to shallow waters, to deeper and deeper drilling sites, the regulatory process has not kept up, he said. "The industry has been essentially self-regulating," said Babbitt, and the changes and restructuring that are needed should be a top focus as President Obama's oil spill commission looks at the current disaster.

Want to renew your focus on Jesus during Lent? Sign up for our free Lent & Easter devotions.
Here is, 1. The pleasure David took in the word of God. He rejoiced at it, rejoiced that God had made such a discovery of his mind, that Israel was blessed with that light when other nations sat in darkness, that he was himself let into the understanding of it and had had experience of the power of it. He took a pleasure in reading it, hearing it, and meditating on it, and every thing he met with in it was agreeable to him. He had just now said that his heart stood in awe of his word, and yet here he declares that he rejoiced in it. The more reverence we have for the word of God the more joy we shall find in it. 2. The degree of that pleasure—as one that finds great spoil. This supposes a victory over the enemy. It is through much opposition that a soul comes to this, to rejoice in God's word. But, besides the pleasure and honour of a conquest, there is great advantage gained by the plunder of the field, which adds much to the joy. By the word of God we become more than conquerors, that is, unspeakable gainers.

HTC One: Signal problems
Alright guys I've been really frustrated with my phone lately. I don't know if it's because of the new Kit Kat update? T-Mobile signal? Or my 2nd HTC one phone (refurbished)? But lately my phone has been losing its 4G LTE signal for long periods of time. Then it starts to lag overall. I'd have to restart my phone everyday and it's getting annoying. Do I have another faulty device? Should I get another one? Any suggestions?
