Driving a Sustainable Economy
A 21st century marked by climate change and other sustainability challenges must quickly pave a path for more fuel efficient vehicles, cleaner fuels and better infrastructure for every mode of travel. Yet the transportation sector remains largely tied to decades-old technologies, high carbon fuel sources, and a transportation infrastructure that spawns more pollution and congestion. A new energy economy is emerging, and with it new solutions and opportunities for the sector to move forward sustainably.
Transportation is the second largest carbon emitter in the U.S., and the sector accounts for more GHG emissions than any other nation's entire economy, with the exception of China and India. For U.S. businesses, more fuel efficient vehicles make both environmental and economic sense. In addition, the availability of clean fuels both insulates businesses from oil price volatility and reduces GHG emissions.
Transportation Initiatives
Ceres works with corporations, investors, and policymakers to reduce the transportation sector's environmental and social impacts and create more sustainable and efficient ways of driving the economy forward.
Improving Fuel Economy Standards
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Truck Standards
The ongoing development of fuel efficiency and GHG emission standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks provides an important opportunity to reduce both GHG emissions and costs. EPA and NHTSA have jointly proposed Phase 2 GHG Emissions and Fuel Efficiency Standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, which build on the successful existing Phase 1 standards for 2014-2018 (which will save $50 billion in fuel costs and 530 million barrels of oil.) The agencies' current proposal will reduce heavy truck fuel consumption by 36% in 2027; however, studies indicate that a stronger standard, requiring a 40% reduction in fuel consumption by 2025, is not only technologically feasible, but also cost-effective. Ceres urges the agencies to adopt stronger standards, as this is the last opportunity to lock in strong standards for over a decade. A recent truck standard support letter by major food producers and retailers can be viewed here.
Freight trucks account for over half a billion tons of GHG emissions a year, and their emissions are projected to increase by 40% by 2040, which makes them the fastest growing single source of GHG emissions. Trucking also imposes significant financial costs; US businesses spend $650 billion a year on freight trucking services. Fuel is largest cost associated with owing and operating a heavy truck, and inefficiency cuts into the bottom line; the average tractor-trailer truck on the road today averages slightly less than six miles per gallon, and many of these trucks burn more than $80,000 worth of fuel per year. We can reduce these costs as well as GHG emissions; existing and emerging cost-effective technologies can reduce fuel consumption by 40% (compared to 2010 trucks) by 2025.
Ceres and EDF commissioned independent consultant MJ Bradley to assess the impact of strong Phase 2 standards requiring a 40% improvement in fuel efficiency on freight costs. The analysis shows that strong standards are a win-win proposition; strong standards will cut freight costs in addition to cutting GHG emissions.
The report finds that strong Phase 2 standards would:
- Achieve fleet average net savings of $0.21 per mile by 2040 (this translates to an annual savings potential of more than $34 billion).
- Save sleeper truck operators $18,000-$38,000 during the first year a new truck is in service. A new day cab and trailer would realize $4,100-$4,800 in net savings during the first year.
- Lower the per-mile cost of shipping freight by 2.6% in 2030 and 6.8% in 2040, compared to baseline costs.

View the slideshow and watch the webinar Exploring The Business-Policy Nexus: EPA's Heavy Truck Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Standards, presented by Ceres and Environmental Defense Fund.
For more information about how to support strong truck standards, please contact Carol Lee Rawn, Director, Transportation Program, Ceres.
Light Duty Vehicle Standards
In addition to cutting carbon emissions and decreasing our dependence on oil, improved fuel economy standards are vital to U.S. automakers' competitiveness,. Setting strict fuel economy standards will help create jobs, save businesses money and encourage investment in the U.S. auto industry. Stricter standards will also promote energy security by decreasing the amount of fuel needed to power cars and trucks, lessening our dependence on foreign oil. In August of 2012, the Obama Administration announced groundbreaking fuel economy and GHG standards for 2017-2025.
Ceres actively supports improved fuel economy standards by rallying investor and corporate support for stringent new standards and publishing cutting-edge studies that make the economic case for more fuel-efficient vehicles.
In April 2012, we issued the report "Fuel Economy Focus: Perspectives on 2020 Industry Implications," which evaluates the impact that the proposed fuel economy/GHG standards would have on the automotive industry in the year 2020. Produced by Citi Investment Research and Analysis, in collaboration with Ceres, the report finds that under the proposed vehicles standards, the auto industry, and particularly American automakers, would likely see higher profits and sales.
The report findings include the following:
- Adopting technologies necessary to meet proposed new fuel economy standards will likely boost industry profits by 5%, or 4.76 billion in 2020.
- Ford, Chrysler and GM would likely see a larger increase in profits than the rest of the industry, earning a 6% increase in profits of $2.44 billion in 2020.
- Technologies required to meet the proposed standards are cost effective for consumers; even if gas prices dropped to $1.50 in 2020, fuel savings would fully offset the additional cost of the technologies.
- The proposed standards could largely be met by using existing, cost-effective technologies that improve the performance of cars powered by traditional internal combustion engines.
Stronger standards are key to promoting advanced vehicle technologies, which will help make the domestic auto industry globally competitive. In February 2011, Ceres partnered with Citi Investment research to produce Electric Vehicles; Perspectives on a Growing Investment Theme, on the viability of the growing electric vehicle industry, and the policy framework needed to support the industry.
Developing a Clean Fuel Standard
Establishing well designed Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) would lower emissions by curbing the use of high-carbon fuel sources like oil sands while gradually reducing the carbon content of other fuels over time – in part by mixing in higher proportions of lower carbon fuels or using clean electricity to power vehicles. Many of these fuels could be locally sourced, helping to further reduce their overall carbon footprint while bolstering local economies.
California has such a standard in place and Ceres is helping to support efforts to adopt a CFS in Oregon and Washington; BICEP members have submitted letters to both states supporting a CFS.
Ceres recently partnered with industry groups to commission ICF International, a firm widely respected for its economic and policy expertise, to assess the economic impacts of California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). ICF found that the LCFS is working; it is driving investment in cleaner fuels, and industry is on track to meet its goals. Further, ICF found that, under the LCFS, the economy will continue to expand, and that by spurring greater use of clean alternative fuels and vehicles, the LCFS will result in $1.4 - $4.8 billion in societal benefits by 2020 as a result of reduced air pollution and increased energy security.

View the fact sheet
Tier 3 Standards
Another important regulatory initiative is the EPA's Tier 3 standards for fuels and vehicles, which are the most cost effective way to realize significant reductions in pollutants such as ozone (smog), particulate matter (soot), and air toxics. The proposed Tier 3 standards represent a unique opportunity for the United States to strengthen the economy, create jobs, prevent illness, reduce healthcare expenditures and contribute to the long term growth of the auto and emission control industries.
The standards are the most cost effective way to realize significant reductions in pollutants like smog, soot, and air toxins. The standards would reduce the sulfur content of gasoline, making pollution control equipment more efficient, and facilitating compliance with the new fuel economy and greenhouse gas vehicle standards.
The public comment period for Tier 3 standards ended on July 1st 2013. Members of Ceres' Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR), including the Office of the Connecticut State Treasurer and Wespath Investment Management, have urged the Environmental Protection Agency to adopt the standards this year in order to realize their significant economic and public health impacts as soon as possible.
Ceres also produced the report Canada's Oil Sand, Shrinking Window of Opportunity, which focuses on environmental and regulatory risks posed by tar sands development to investors. Ceres used the report to brief policymakers as well as investors and companies on the link between carbon intensive tar sands and a low carbon fuel standard.

Pay-As-You-Drive Auto Insurance
Ceres is helping to craft performance standards for Pay-As-You-Drive (PAYD) auto insurance. PAYD prices insurance policies based on miles driven - the less you drive, the less you pay. It saves consumers money, incentivizes reduced pollution and traffic congestion and helps cut wear and tear on roadways. In 2009, Ceres convened state regulators, auto insurers and advocates to create a performance standard for PAYD policies, and is working to advance the standard in states and regions around the U.S.
To learn more about PAYD Insurance, download the PAYD Technical Report by the Victoria Transport Policy Institute.
Ceres Roadmap for Sustainability
Ceres has released The 21st Century Corporation: The Ceres Roadmap for Sustainability as a vision and practical roadmap for integrating sustainability into the everyday practices of all businesses, regardless of sector or industry. It analyzes the key drivers, risks and opportunities in making the shift to sustainability, and details strategies and results from companies already tackling these challenges. The Ceres Roadmap is designed to provide a comprehensive platform for companies and investors alike to design sustainable business strategies and accelerate innovative solutions that increase performance.
Stakeholder Engagement
Ceres, drawing on the expertise from the Ceres Coalition, holds regular stakeholder engagements with companies such as Ford, General Motors, Virgin America, and other transportation-related companies. These stakeholder meetings bring together corporate executives, investors and public interest groups to boost company attention to sustainability risks and set specific goals for managing them, including increasing fuel efficiency, reducing carbon emissions from transportation activities and improving supplier sustainability performance.
Investor Action
Investors in Ceres' Investor Network on Climate Risk are using their leverage as shareholders to secure meaningful commitments on sustainability challenges from companies they invest in. Through shareholder resolutions and face-to-face meetings, investors working with Ceres are asking auto, rail, shipping and airline companies to improve their transparency on sustainability-related risks and to set tangible performance goals for reducing their carbon emissions and improving fuel efficiency.

When will juggling become an Olympic sport?
Posted by: KyCole at March 11, 2006 5:42 AM
Juggling USED to be an Olympic sport, but it was removed many years ago because it was too stupid to be a competitive sport.
WTF is so amazing about juggling to a Paul McCartney song? I suppose you like mimes too.
Posted by: Charles at March 11, 2006 6:26 AM
That was wonderful. Real artistry.
But the answer to the question "How do you know when you've had enough coffee?" is "When it runs out your fingertips."
I heard that first from a coworker who had a stroke at the age of 28. No kidding.

What is going to be the Ministry of Health's contribution towards the partnership?
The MoH will cooperate with Novartis to facilitate access to innovative medicines and quality generics, as well as increase the number of clinical trials in Malaysia. For instance, the government will form a work-group together with Novartis to reach common understanding in the identification and selection of clinical trials that are to be sponsored by Novartis in Malaysia.
The government and Novartis will continue to collaborate on appropriate and relevant access programs for patients needing early access to innovative medicines. For example, the MoH recently agreed to expand the funds for a new access program for Thalassemia patients, making a new innovative treatment available to more than 1,000 patients in Malaysia.
What is the market size of the healthcare sector in Malaysia?
In 2011 the healthcare expenditure in Malaysia was around five percent of the National GDP (around $11 billion). The MoH contributed 57 percent (around $6.3 billion) and the rest came from the private sector. The size of the pharmaceutical Industry in 2011 was close to $1.5 billion with approximately 33 percent generic penetration.

seriously if you guys know enough lines from the OT, you will be able to catch on the lines pretty quickly. this is a funny movie.
i love this movie, just watched it 3 or 4 times in the past 2 days, i seriously recommend it
Is it posted on Youtube yet??? Or anywhere else on the internet????
it is by far the best B+ movie i have ever seen but i feel the love story was not paid attention to enough and that made the story off and a bit out of place, but yes its amazing. Its on surf the channel if your looking for it.
This movie was awesome. Made me want to tour the Skywalker Ranch. I wish I had a Van like that. R2 on the top. Oh and hitting the Trekkies with the pressed ham was a classic.
I wanted to watch that, but I cant buy it, find anyone who owns it, and it wasn't on in theaters. Because my comy takes so long to load, and cant just youtube it.
well lookey here. in 9 parts on youtube

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Prayer time
Matthew 18:4 "Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
This verse is the inspiration for Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge this week. The challenge is to make a card with an image of a child or children. I chose this digital image by M&M Designz at Digital-Ink Co. Maybe if we all prayed with that child-like faith, with no doubts, our prayers would be more powerful and would be answered.
This card is also made for the Saturday Spotlight "big" challenge. I used a "big" image. I made my card based on Mercy's Sketch #59. I like this sketch and it leaves a lot of liberty to add to it.
A few deets: Paper is by Cosmo Cricket-Girl Friday. I've colored this image with Prismacolor pencils.

Collection Overview
Collection (2010-0023) consists of 66 black and white photographs spanning Carl Mydans' career. Images from his early work for the Farm Security Administration include photographs of cowboys and ranchers from Freer, Texas; migrant workers and rural life in Texas and Arkansas; a photograph of the Capitol building through a Washington, D.C. slum; and political banners from the 1936 presidential election.
The majority of the collection dates from his time working for Life magazine as a war photographer. Mydans' subjects include the Sino-Japanese war beginning in 1941, his time in the Philippines and the battle for Manila, his coverage of the Allies in France and Italy during the liberation of Europe, and his travels with General Douglas MacArthur during MacArthur's return to the Philippines and the subsequent surrender of the Japanese. Mydans' World War II images are fairly evenly split into equal parts combat and street scenes: there seem to be just as many photographs of tea rooms and markets in China as there are photographs of Japanese bombing raids in the Philippines. This portion of the collection also includes some of Mydans' most famous and memorable photographs, including a portrait of General MacArthur with his sunglasses and pipe, a photograph of MacArthur leading the army ashore in the Philippines, and an image of a "collaborater" being shaved following the liberation of France.
Another significant component of the collection is Mydans' post-World War II images, which include Japanese war crimes tribunals, Korean War coverage, portraits of coal miners and politicians in Europe, and photographs taken during the Fukui earthquake. Also included is a self-portrait of Mydans in Vietnam, the only photograph taken in color, from 1968.
Nearly all of the photographs have handwritten captions on the back, which have been transcribed in the Collection Description portion of the finding aid. Some of the handwritten captions have been supplemented by a caption list, available in hard copy in Box 3. [Brackets] indicate information added by processors. Some prints have also been signed by Mydans.
Photographs have been boxed by size, but have not been sorted chronologically or by subject.

Historical Note
Carl Mydans was an American photographer who spent most of his career with Life magazine. Some of his most memorable photographs were taken during World War II.
Born on May 20, 1907, Mydans studied journalism and photography in Boston in 1930 and spent some time as a writer in New York. He began working for the Farm Security Administration in 1935, where he documented rural and farm life, including migrant farm families, in the South and in New England. In 1936, he was hired as one of the first staff photographers for Life magazine. His early assignments included documenting cattle ranchers in Freer, Texas, and tunnel sand hogs in New York City. He married his wife, Shelley Smith, in 1938, and they became a writer-photographer team for Life. When World War II began, the Mydanses traveled throughout Europe and Asia. They were captured by the Japanese after the fall of the Philippines in 1941, and spent almost two years as prisoners-of-war in Manila and Shanghai. Following their release, Carl Mydans went back to the front in Europe and covered the liberation of Italy and France. His acquaintence with General Douglas MacArthur led to his covering MacArthur's return to the Philippines in 1944 and the eventual surrender of Japan in 1945.
In 1947, the Mydanses became Time-Life's bureau chiefs in Tokyo, and they remained in the Pacific area for the next several years. Carl Mydans was present during a 1948 earthquake in Fukui, Japan, and also covered the Korean War in 1950 and 1951. He traveled the world through the 1960s and 1970s, and worked for Life until it ceased weekly publication in 1972. He continued to work as a photographer for Time and other publications until his eighties. He died on August 16, 2004.

Occupy Flash? 507
mcgrew writes "CNN is reporting another Occupy movement — Occupy Flash. Their aim: get rid of Flash completely. They explain: 'Why does it matter when HTML5 has clearly won the fight for the future of our web browsing? Well, as we've seen with other outdated web technologies (most notably the much-lamented Internet Explorer 6), as long as software is installed on machines, there will be a contingent of decision makers who mandate its use, and there will be a requirement of continued support, the plugin will live on, and folks will continue to develop for it.' In response, a group of Flash developers have started Occupy HTML in Flash's defense. Popcorn, anyone?"

10 Endangered State Parks
They're beautiful, they're close to home, and they're steeped in history. But the best reason to vacation in one of our state parks? They're fast becoming an endangered species.
Blackwater Falls State Park
West Virginia
Blackwater Falls's namesake cascade isn't just the most picturesque spot in this 2,456-acre park—it's also one of the most photographed places in the state. The area is equally eye-catching when it's dressed in the bright greens of spring, the Crayola-box colors of autumn, or silvery winter, when parts of the falls freeze into man-size icicles. The falls themselves—more brown than black—get their distinctive hue from tannic acid that leaches into the river from hemlock and red spruce needles upstream.
But there's something potentially more serious darkening the future of West Virginia's state parks: hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a. fracking) wells that could be built on ecologically significant public lands. Surface rights don't always include the mineral rights when park land is acquired; in West Virginia, the mineral rights under approximately 40 percent of the state parks, including Blackwater, are privately held. It's those split-custody parks that experts say are at greatest risk. Chief Logan State Park, about 200 miles away, already lost a fracking battle when the state's Supreme Court, over the objection of the W. Va. Department of Environmental Protection, voted unanimously in 2010 to allow natural gas drilling in the park—a process that typically calls for not just drilling, but also the construction of roads and the clear-cutting of trees. Almost the entire state of West Virginia sits atop the Marcellus Shale, the natural-gas source targeted at Chief Logan, which means that a dozen or so other parks could soon find themselves fighting for their rights, too.
Where to Stay: Outdoorsy types can pitch a tent at 65 campsites, or upgrade to one of 26 deluxe cabins with full kitchens, private bathrooms, and fireplaces—but not A/C. For that creature comfort, you'll need to book a night in the 54-room lodge, which also has a game room and an indoor pool (blackwaterfalls.com, camping from $20, lodge rooms from $84).
While You're There: Plan a day trip to the small yet lively town of Elkins, W. Va., taking the hour long scenic route through Blackwater and Canaan Valley State Park. In Elkins, the Randolph County Community Arts Center hosts free concerts, arts workshops, and traveling exhibitions year-round—its third Smithsonian exhibition just came through this summer (randolpharts.org).
How to Help: Donate cash, stock, or even office supplies to Friends of Blackwater, a group focused on preserving the ecosystem of Blackwater Canyon (saveblackwater.org).
Park Info: 1584 Blackwater Lodge Rd., Davis, W. Va., 304/259-5216, blackwaterfalls.com, open 6 A.M.-10 P.M., admission free.
Honeymoon Island State Park
You'd expect a place called Honeymoon Island to be dreamy, and with four miles of white beaches and two more of nature trails (where osprey, terns, and bald eagles nest), Florida's most popular state park is tailor-made for romantic strolls. Even back when it was known as Hog Island—before a 1930s developer put up a string of beach cottages and renamed the spot to lure newlyweds—visitors to the tiny barrier island were all but guaranteed dolphin sightings and stunning sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. The cottages are gone now, but more than a million people still cross the bridge to the island each year to spend the day swimming, surfing, kayaking, and collecting shells along the north shore. The only thing you can't do is sleep under the stars. Last year Florida proposed adding a privately run RV campground to Honeymoon Island State Park, citing high demand for more camping opportunities in state parks. However, area residents protested the campground and its potential disruption of the park's ecosystem, and the plans were dropped. For now, at least, the beaches close at sunset, with only those osprey, terns, and eagles to look after them.
Where to Stay: Hotels and vacation rentals abound in the adjacent towns of Dunedin and Clearwater. Frenchy's Oasis Motel, 11 miles south of the park, gives the old-fashioned motor lodge a Mid-Century Modern spin with starburst clocks, a bright, citrusy palette, and free Wi-Fi (frenchysoasismotel.com, doubles from $119).
While You're There: Before a hurricane divided them in the 1920s, Honeymoon Island and neighboring Caladesi Island were a single land mass. Today, you can only reach car-free Caladesi by boat (or Jet Ski). The only public ferries leave from Honeymoon Island; rides take 20 minutes and run every half hour starting at 10 A.M. (caladesiferry.org, $14 round-trip).

Pharmaceutical Innovation
This article, written for the forthcoming Handbook of the Economics of Technical Change, surveys the costs, risks, and challenges encountered in the discovery and development of superior new pharmaceuticals. The changing methods by which drugs are discovered, the links between companies and academic science, the changing character of public regulation, and the sharp rise in the cost per new approved drug are analyzed. Determining which new drugs are both efficacious and safe poses classic statistical decision theory problems. Why patents are so important to drug developers is explored. A rent-seeking theory of new drug development is proposed to rationalize the high gross margins but only slightly supra-normal returns on investment realized by pharmaceutical companies, and the economic welfare implications are investigated.

What Sherman Missed
The Old South has survived along Georgia's Antebellum Trail, where the Civil War seems to have happened only yesterday
April 1999 | Volume 50, Issue 2
PrintEmail —Linda Barth
As I drove from Macon back to the airport in Atlanta, I watched the small towns gradually fade into modern suburbs and thought about the South I had just seen. On the Antebellum Trail people take immense pride in maintaining their links to the past, and history is taken very personally. As hard as he tried, Sherman failed, in the long run, to achieve his goal of destroying Georgia. The state may have howled, but it survived.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Jon Bon Jovi is hoping he's written a hit with Buffalo Bills fans in a bid to stem concerns of whether his prospective ownership group plans to buy and potentially relocate the franchise to Toronto.
In a letter published by the Buffalo News on Sunday, Bon Jovi wrote that it's his ownership group's objective "to make the Bills successful in Buffalo." The letter, titled "Why We're Bidding on the Buffalo Bills," marks the first time the New Jersey rocker has publicly discussed his plans regarding the franchise.
The team is for sale after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March.
"There has been a lot of conjecture, so we think it's important to clarify our intentions to the fans of the team and people of Buffalo," Bon Jovi wrote. "I know how much the Bills mean to the people of this region. So I want you to hear this from me: I'm not risking it all to let you down. If we are given the chance to be the next owners of the Buffalo Bills, I promise you that we will bring the same passion that you do every Sunday, every day."
Calling it his intention to "carry on Ralph Wilson's legacy" in Buffalo, Bon Jovi said his group is committed to working with state and local officials and the business community to identify a new stadium site in the region.
At no point in the seven-paragraph letter does Bon Jovi name his two partners or mention they are both from Toronto. His group is rounded out by Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, and the Rogers family which controls Rogers Communications.
The Toronto group's intentions have been met with skepticism in Buffalo.
Two weeks ago, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz told The Associated Press that he has no doubts regarding the group's long-term intentions to move the team to Toronto.
Under their lease that runs through the 2022, the Bills are essentially locked into playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium through the 2019 season. There is a one-time exception that would allow them to break the agreement for just under $28.4 million in 2020.
The deal also includes a strict non-relocation clause in which the Bills — including Wilson's estate — are not allowed to negotiate with anyone, who to their knowledge, has an intention of relocating the team during the term of the lease.
The Bills Fan Alliance, a group of fans and business leaders, questioned Bon Jovi's intentions in a statement released Sunday.
"While we appreciate his sentiment, it's worth noting that nowhere in his letter does he write or directly state that he will 'not move the Bills from Buffalo,"' wrote the Alliance's directors, Matt Sabuda, Brian Cinelli and Steve Brady.
The group urged Bon Jovi to back up his statements with actions by signing a binding pre-purchase agreement to waive the one-year buyout clause.
"Anything short of formal action taken on their part will be viewed as nothing more than rhetoric," the Alliance directors wrote.
Fans have also organized a ban on Bon Jovi music being played in Buffalo. The group has printed T-shirts and posters with the motto: "Bon Jovi Free Zone."
Numerous fans were spotted wearing the shirts and carrying placards at the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies on Saturday night, when former Bills receiver Andre Reed was among the seven inductees.
Reed is a member of the Fan Alliance. He drew cheers during his induction speech by saying: "Oh yeah, and the Bills will stay in Buffalo, too."
NHL Buffalo Sabres owner Terry and Kim Pegula and New York real estate mogul Donald Trump are also in the running to buy the Bills.
Prospective groups are set to begin making formal bids to buy the team in the coming weeks. A potential owner could be identified by as early as Labor Day.
The Bills most recently were valued by Forbes at $870 million but are expected to sell for at least $1 billion, partly because NFL teams rarely go on the market.
In his letter, Bon Jovi noted his interest in buying an NFL franchise grew when he founded the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League. He sold his interests in the team a few years ago.
"My family and I are prepared to make this life-changing commitment to be part of the Bills," Bon Jovi wrote. "This is not a hobby or an acquisition. Building a winner on and off the field will be job one, and I intend to spend as much time on the ground in Buffalo as needed to accomplish that goal."

Living in the northeast and being a "pool-free" homeowner, I rarely think about the luxury enjoyed by countless homeowners who are pool-endowed, particularly in the South and West. But a recent trip to Arizona made me realize that even the swimming pool—a seemingly earth-friendly body of H2O in oval-, square-, rectangular-, and kidney bean-shaped designs—is still an energy user and, in some instances, abuser.
According to an article in The Arizona Republic, the state legislature recently passed new energy-efficient standards for residential swimming pool pumps and portable electric spas. (California and many other states have passed similar regulations.) While it doesn't affect pumps currently in use, it does prohibit the installation of single-speed pumps in new pool construction, requiring instead dual-, multiple- and variable-speed pumps with motors 1 horsepower or better. And for very good reason.
Single-speed pumps operate, as the name implies, at one speed. Even though they perform efficiently enough to circulate the pool water, they are not as efficient when it comes to powering the extras: pool cleaners, water falls, spas, whirlpools, and other electrical add-ons. So, when the pump is required to power more than just circulating water, it ends up working harder, working longer, and costing you as much as 90% more in energy use.
If you have an older swimming pool you might want to check to see if your filter is up to "speed." A replacement could set you back $1,200 to $1,400 for parts and installation, but homeowners who have already made the change are reaping the benefits, some saving $300 or more a year on their electric bills. Your local utility may also offer rebates to help defray the cost.

Washington, Feb 8 (IANS) Obese people might be at the risk of developing gum disease, says a study.
Impacting approximately one-third of the US population, obesity is a significant health concern for Americans, according to Science Daily.
It is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain forms of cancer, and now, according to an article published in the journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), it also may be a risk factor for gum disease.
Researchers suspect a link exists between obesity and gum disease.
Obese individuals' bodies relentlessly produce cytokines, proteins with inflammatory properties.
"These cytokines may directly injure the gum tissues or reduce blood flow to the gum tissues, thus promoting the development of gum disease," said Charlene Krejci, lead author of the article.
A research on the relationship between obesity and gum disease still continues.
"Whether one condition is a risk factor for another or whether one disease directly causes another has yet to be discovered," said AGD spokesperson Samer G. Shamoon.

Thesp Carlos Alberto Riccelli's sophomore helming foray -- his first to be released -- is an impressive but uneven ensemble piece overwhelmed by its eagerness to spin a multiplicity of stories.
Thesp Carlos Alberto Riccelli's sophomore helming foray — his first to be released — is an impressive but uneven ensemble piece overwhelmed by its eagerness to spin a multiplicity of stories. Keeping all of them in play proves too difficult, though the kernel, about an astrologer reassessing her life and its impact on those around her, is worthy of amplification. Prospects at home for "The Sign of the City" should be golden, thanks in part to the presence of popular star Bruna Lombardi (Riccelli's wife, who also scripted); offshore may see a scattering of fest dates.
Set in Sao Paulo, pic nicely emphasizes the multifaceted character of the vast metropolis. Core plotline involves Teca (Lombardi), an astrologist with her own call-in radio show. Recently single, Teca is drifting through life without much sense of purpose. Her lovelife's no good, either: Gil (Malvino Salvador), the hot new neighbor making advances, turns out to be married. Despite these disappointments, including the pressure of looking after estranged, hospitalized father Anibal (Juca de Oliveira), it's only when crazed fan Luis (Thiago Pinheiro) kills himself in her apartment that Teca is forced to open her eyes and view her surroundings as an intricate web of connections, each path with its own consequences. She locates Luis' self-mutilating g.f. Julia (Lais Marques), taking her under wing in the hopes that she can prevent her from continuing on her destructive path. Woven through Teca's story are others whose tales briefly touch upon her own. These include the woman who helped raise her, Adelia (Eva Wilma), with her own whopper of a secret. There's Teca's engineer Bio (Bethito Tavares), whose best friend, flamboyant transsexual Josialdo (Sidney Santiago), gets lynched, and depressed Isadora (Irene Stefania), whose son Gabriel (Kim Riccelli) eventually hooks up with Julia. Themes of connection, responsibility and loneliness run through all the tales, but so many characters are introduced that inevitably many get lost along the way. Teca's journey from irresponsibility to self-awareness deserves telling without being drowned out by everything else. Still, there's much to recommend. Beginning is especially well paced, and Riccelli maintains a nice feel for his locales. Certain scenes linger long in the memory, including a lovely sequence in which Anibal's nurse Iolanda (Valeria Lauand), not exactly statuesque, volunteers to humor his dying wish and strips for the old philanderer. There's more warmth in this one scene, more understanding of the palliative effects of reaching out to someone, than in most pop-psychology manuals. With her pale skin and reddened eyes, Lombardi looks the picture of the stressed-out vegan, but gives her character warmth and depth without New Age kookiness. In general, thesping is strong, though Marques is too prone to acting with a capital "A." Despite heavy use of Steadicam, lensing is textured and appropriate to the action.The Sign of the City

Facing a potential court ruling striking down all zoning restrictions on sex businesses in Toledo, a City Council committee yesterday agreed to restore industrial zones as areas where X-rated businesses can locate.
That would multiply the available area from about 1 percent of land in the city to between 10 and 12 percent, according to council President Pro Tem Louis Escobar.
The revised zoning law - the first major change since 1979 -would expand the areas where adult businesses may locate from C-3 and C-5 commercial zones into M-1 and M-2 industrial zones.
The committee's unanimous 8-0 vote reversed a recommendation from the Toledo Plan Commission last month. The plan commission recommended defeat of industrial zoning for sex businesses.
A lawsuit pending in U.S. District Court claims Toledo's adult business zoning is so restrictive, it violates free-speech rights.
John Madigan, the city's general counsel, said that Toledo is legally vulnerable on the issue. "If we lose our ordinance, that could mean the potential for places opening up right next door to churches and schools and residences," Mr. Madigan said.
Councilman Wade Kapszukiewicz said that expanding the zoning seems "counterintuitive" to citizens. "If we need to expand, I would rather that expansion take place in industrial than in the residential areas," Mr. Kapszukiewicz said in supporting the change.
As in the current law, the proposed ordinance forbids sex businesses within 500 feet of a religious institution, school, playground, or residential district, or within 1,000 feet of another sex business.
However, an attorney representing one of the adult bookstores charged that banning several adult businesses side-by-side, such as a video store, a lingerie store, and a nude dance club, is a new restriction.
Also pending before council is a companion ordinance that would license sex businesses, outlaw massage parlors, and establish a mandatory six-foot distance between dancers and patrons in "gentlemen's cabarets." Both ordinances are to come up for a vote Dec. 3.
Stephen Herwat, the executive director of the plan commission, said he has been assured the mayor supports the zoning ordinance, after having initially opposed it. But Councilmen Gene Zmuda and Rob Ludeman said they wanted to hear directly from Mr. Ford.

Director | Emir Kusturica |
Original title | Blue Gypsy |
Release | 2005 (Italy), 2007 (France) |
Original language | Serbian |
Length | 10 mn |
Script | Stribor Kusturica |
Photography | Milorad Glušica & Michel Amathieu |
Music | No Smoking Orchestra |
Uroš (the gypsy with blue eyes), is about to be released from the juvenile detention center in which he has spent quite a long time.
He is facing the mixed feelings that he has towards his release; dealing again with his Father who forces him to steal yet being supposedly freed into the outside world. Uroš' choice will become clear once he will find himself cornered…
Shot in Küstendorf, based on a script by Stribor, this film is a command of UNICEF and gathers 7 short films by 8 directors coming from different places : Mehdi Charef, Spike Lee, Kátia Lund, Jordan & Ridley Scott, Stefano Veneruso and John Woo. The whole film was released in 2006 under the name All the invisible children.
Emir Kusturica about this short film : "This film is different especially for its length, because I had to compress my ideas in less than 20 minutes, something which I learned from the commercial films, but it was especially interesting to make a film which, in some way, shows things that people don't know. As in my other projects, I express my observations, my obsessions but it's the first time since the cinema school which I make a film like this one. Somebody gave me a key which I transformed into a script."
Like in most of his other films, the human being is in the heart of the history: "do you make a film on the basis of the beat of modernity or on the basis of the beat of your heart?".

DISAPPEAR : VANISH :: risk : gamble The best answer is risk. The relationship between the first pair of words, disappear and vanish, is that of synonyms—words that have similar meanings. Therefore, the second pair of words must also be synonyms. Risk is a synonym for gamble. |

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
McConnell: Obama Wins The Tax Fight -- Now On To The Debt Limit
McConnell is the latest and highest ranking Republican to lament the fact that Obama has enough leverage to secure a higher marginal tax rate on top earners. But he added that if Obama's unwilling to join the GOP and support major cuts and reforms to entitlement programs now, they'll bring the matter up again next year.
"When are we ever going to make those kinds of decisions," McConnell added. "We tried to get the president to do it last year. We now have another opportunity here at the end of the year to try to engage that discussion again. We'll have another opportunity later, when the debt ceiling issue arrives."
The suggestion is that he and Boehner will block an increase in the debt limit unless it's paired with cuts to major social programs. Obama has said he'll refuse to entertain that negotiating tactic, and Democrats have his back. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has made clear that his caucus stands ready to increase the debt limit -- or to provide Obama the authority to do so -- as soon as the GOP drops its filibuster.
I asked McConnell whether Dems' unity on this point will leave Republicans isolated if they attempt to use U.S. creditworthiness as a bargaining chip to secure cuts to major social insurance programs.
"I think I can speak for every single Republican that we think a request of any president to raise the debt ceiling in the future should involve a discussion with whoever the president is about what we might do about the debt," he said. "And we shouldn't treat it like a Motherhood Resolution; that we shouldn't airdrop it into Obamacare with no vote; that the decision to raise the debt ceiling is a perfect time to have a discussion about the debt."
Added McConnell, "So we'll have that discussion later, at whatever point the administration decides that they need to have that authority. But I don't think that there's any sentiment whatsoever for giving the President perpetual authority without congressional involvement. ... I don't care whether a majority of Senate Democrats are for that or not. I'd hate by the way to have to defend that in a campaign. But regardless of whether a majority of them are for it, that isn't going to happen. We are going to insist that we have another discussion about the future of our country in connection with the request of us to raise the debt ceiling."
McConnell didn't explicitly say that the "discussion" will replicate the 2011 debt limit fight -- that Republicans will refuse to raise the debt limit unless its accompanied by equal dollar spending cuts. But he's certainly dangling the threat out there.

Thanks for the download. I flashed gingerbread using Odin and my phone is now super fast. However, I tried to use Rom Manager to backup my rom but it just reboots. How do I get Clockwork Mod installed on my Droid Charge? I need help!!!!! Sent from my SCH-I510 using DroidForums
you cant use rom manager with this phone, look on rootz or xda for "imnuts" he makes the cwm flash for us.
I'm experiencing terrible battery life with the Gingerbread. I would charge my phone fully, then put it in standby/sleep mode at night and the battery power will be at 20 percent when I wake up. Is it something that I can do to improve the battery life?
I would switch to this rom... [ROM][EP1W][CWM]GummyCharged GBE 2.0 9/28/2011 its sooooooo smooth and fast...
Have you done a battery calibration since flashing GB? It may not necessarily be bad battery life as much as your battery indicator is lying to you. Flashing new rooms can skew this. I'm not at home right now so I don't have a link handy for you, but you can go to xda and search for "13 steps to calibrate your battery". If like the GB room, you might try that first. tap'n
I just flash to gb from froyo running altered beast 5 with voodoo. Gb is the ****. After 8 hours of light use I still have about 70% battery where as before I would've been down to around 40. Gb is super smooth and I'm scoring around 1400 on quadrant. I can't wait for someone to make a voodoo kernel for gb Sent from my SCH-I510 using DroidForums
They do!!! Check my post here ... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-charge-hacks/174526-gb-kernel.html Scoring over 2000 in Quadrant!!!
How do I install this rom? I'm currently running "CI510_VZW_EP1W_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL485836_ship_debloated.tar.md5" and it was installed using Odin.
Install it using odin, the same way u installed gb in ever first place Sent from my SCH-I510 using DroidForums

It is my understanding that Jesus was celebrating the Passover Seder during what we call the Last Supper. When I related this to a Jewish friend of mine, he said, "Oh. Which night of Passover?" I did not know what to say. Is it known at what point during Pesach the Last Supper took place? |
Answer by Catholic Answers on 3/22/2013: | ||||||||
Daniel-- According to John, Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Passover (John 19:14), which would mean that Pesach had not yet begun. But all three of the other Gospel writers insist that Jesus had a Passover meal with his disciples (cf. Matt. 26:18-19, Mark 14:12-16, Luke 22:8-15). Although scholars have argued strenuously over the meaning of the apparent conflict in the accounts, there is a simple possibility: Jesus, being God himself, and thus having full knowledge of his impending death and full authority to adjust holy day rituals accordingly, chose to anticipate the Passover by celebrating the ritual meal with his disciples one day early.

Stocks Finish Mixed amid Ugly Jobs News
U.S. stocks closed mixed Friday as a late buying surge trimmed earlier losses that followed a report U.S. nonfarm payrolls fell 651,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 8.1% in February. The Dow Jones industrial average held at the 6500 level, though it fell 6% on the week. The S&P 500 index edged back from a 13-year low, but it logged a 7% loss for the week.
The employment report created speculation the economy might be near the bottom. But next week's February retail sales report is not likely to support that argument, says S&P MarketScope.
Apple (AAPL) led technology shares lower after an analyst downgrade of the stock.
On Friday, the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average was higher by 32.50 points, or 0.49%, at 6,626.94. The broad S&P 500 index was up 0.83 points, or 0.12%, at 683.38. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index shed 5.74 points, or 0.44%, to 1,293.85. The Nasdaq was off 6% for the week.
On the New York Stock Exchange, 19 stocks were lower for every 11 that advanced. Nasdaq breadth was flat. Trading was active before the weekend.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index closed at its lowest level since September, 1996, on Thursday, and the Dow Jones industrial average posted its lowest close since April, 1997.
Year to date, the Dow and S&P are each down 24% and the Nasdaq is off by 18%.
Bonds were mixed Friday. Gold futures were up. The dollar index was off. Oil futures were up.
Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and McDonald's (MCD) were among the names leading the blue chips higher Friday.
The Wall Street Journal reports top General Motors (GM) executives are more open to a speedy bankruptcy reorganization financed by the government, pushing aside earlier concern that such a move would scare away so many customers the company wouldn't survive, said a person familiar with the matter. While the company still wants to avoid bankruptcy, the new view represents a reversal from GM's position late last year, when it sought a federal bailout. The change in thinking, combined with the disclosure Thursday that GM's auditor has raised "substantial doubt" about the car maker's ability to keep going, appears to move GM closer to the possibility it will file for reorganization.
Both developments come as President Barack Obama's auto task force is trying to decide how much more aid to provide GM. They also come as GM is locked in negotiations with its bondholders to trade debt for equity as a way to cut its cost of operations.
Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said Friday that the different responses to AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns has contributed to the uncertainty and that the too-big-to-fail doctrine creates perverse incentives, while failure of institutions is inevitable in a dynamic financial system. Yet he also warned against inefficient caps on the size of such organizations, though he sees the need for better resolution mechanisms for nonbank failures, similar to the FDIC's oversight of commercial banks.
New York Fed President William Dudley said a "complete breakdown of trust across markets has been remarkable," in his prepared statement on financial market turmoil. He said the further deterioration in economic conditions are reinforcing the downward spiral in confidence. The reluctance of some banks to raise additional capital to hedge against further erosion in the economy has also exacerbated the crisis, noting that once capital preservation becomes paramount, deleveraging intensifies and counterparties grow more wary. And, Dudley believes the deleveraging process is "far from complete" and would not be surprised if hedge funds will have fallen by 50% or more when all is said and done.
Kansas City Fed President Hoenig said the U.S. is drifting into "piecemeal nationalization" of institutions without resolving the crisis, said the hawkish non-voter in a sharp criticism of current policies. He said the U.S. was slow to react to fundamental financial woes and act decisively on financial firms, though it has been quick to provide liquidity and capital without a clear plan. Hoenig warned that countries which have avoided allowing large institutions to fail have been slower to recover from their crisis, while ad hoc solutions have led to more concentrated financial markets and losses in the financial system won't just go away. The U.S. needs to create a "defined resolution program" for the too-big-to-fail institutions.
In economic news Friday, payroll employment fell another 651,000 in February, while the unemployment rate jumped to 8.1% from 7.6%. The drop in payrolls was in line with expectations, but the unemployment rate rose more, in part because of a rise in the labor force. About half of the drop in payrolls was in goods-producing industries, with construction down 104,000 and manufacturing 168,000. Average hourly earnings rose 3 cents (0.2%), while weekly hours were flat. The only increases were in education and health care and government.
"The report is as bleak as expected, and shows the economy is still dropping rapidly. We expect another 2 million job losses by fall," says S&P Economics.
The OECD said the outlook for the world's major industrialized and emerging economies weakened further in January with all BRIC countries now facing a "strong slowdown."
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the European Union is facing an unprecedented situation due to the economic crisis and it needs to work at different levels to restore credit flows.
The Nikkei business daily reported Japan's government is considering tripling to 3 trillion yen ($30.6 billion) a program of low-interest loans and cash injections it is offering to firms in need of help. However, China served glum markets a dose of optimism, saying its economy was recovering and promising more swift action to absorb the shock of the global financial crisis and deepening recession in rich nations.
Wells Fargo (WFC) cut its quarterly dividend to $0.05 per share from $0.34 per share. The company said the reduction will enable it to retain an additional $5 billion in equity each year.
JP Morgan reportedly cut its estimates on Apple (AAPL).
Goldman Sachs reportedly upgraded Macy's (M) to its Conviction Buy List from neutral.
H&R Block (HRB) posted $0.20 vs. $0.02 third-quarter EPS from continuing operations on an 11% revenue rise. This revenue increase reflects both growth in the number of tax returns prepared and higher net average tax preparation fees.
Burger King Holdings (BKC) announced a $200 million stock buyback.
BorgWarner (BWA) announced a temporary suspension of its quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share until global economic conditions improve.
Steinway Musical Instruments (LVB) posted $0.40 vs. $0.90 fourth-quarter EPS on a 22% sales decline. Wall Street was looking for $0.25 EPS. Steinway anticipates a slow start to 2009 as dealers continue to reduce inventory in response to lower store activity and a severe contraction of third-party inventory financing. The company believes the industry will consolidate in 2009 and 2010. It said piano sales to institutions have been "holding up well."
