Memphis Unveils Egyptian-Themed Jerseys
Fans may have already heard, but the Redbirds have released another hint of something new the 15th season at AutoZone Park will feature. On Saturday, June 7th, when Memphis plays host to Nashville, it will be Tribute to Memphis, Egypt Night. As part of the night, fans will see Redbird players sporting Egyptain-themed jerseys. The night will conclude with a special fireworks presentation. Fans will not want to miss seeing their favorite players in these one-of-a-kind jerseys.
2014 Memphis Pitching Staff – Predictions & Input
Since the last post about predictions for the Redbirds roster concerning the 2014 season, St. Louis has optioned five players to minor league camp. A majority of moves have featured more pitchers than position players. It is pitching that remains one of the strongholds in the St. Louis system though and entering the season, things are panning out well.
The starting rotation in Memphis should see a few newcomers in Tim Cooney and Angel Castro, with Zach Petrick (pictured above) having an outside chance. Both Cooney and Petrick had successful 2013 campaigns, as the tandem finished as teammates at Double-A Springfield. Cooney led all St. Louis minor league players in strikeouts (148) and was tied for the top spot in wins (10). Petrick was right behind Cooney in strikeouts (122), finishing third, but bested all others in ERA (1.99). He also earned the St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award after the season. The pair as a whole have tremendous upside entering only their third professional seasons. If one of them is optioned to start with Double-A, then expect Boone Whiting to fill their spot. Castro was signed in the offseason after spending 2013 with Triple-A Albuquerque in the Los Angeles Dodgers' organization. He started 19 games and recorded a 3.48 ERA in 116.1 innings of work. The Dominican Republic-native will be expected to log important innings for Memphis.
Tyler Lyons (pictured above) and Scott McGregor are projected to fill the final two spots in the rotation. Lyons made his Major League debut in 2013 pitching 53 innings with a 4.75 ERA. If the big league club has any injuries in the starting personnel, Lyons will more than likely be the first to see action with St. Louis again. McGregor, the pitcher who tied Cooney with 10 wins last season, started eight games with Springfield and 17 with Memphis. While his combined ERA landed at 4.06 in 2013, McGregor will look to improve in his first full season at Triple-A.
The St. Louis bullpen does have some questions, which poses uncertainty to trickle down to Memphis. Things should sort out once a few players return from injuries though. With Jaime Garcia going down at the opening of spring training and Jason Motte not appearing to be at full health, it keeps the door open for either Joe Kelly or Carlos Martinez to plug the gap in the starting rotation and the other to fill a bullpen spot. That still leaves one spot in the bullpen though which some see Keith Butler filling. Butler, who made his debut with the Cardinals in 2013, would likely remain with St. Louis until Motte can make a return. The rest of the projected relievers in Memphis are familiar to most.
Sam Freeman (pictured above), Lee Stoppelman, Jorge Rondon, Eric Fornataro, and Nick Greenwood are foreseen as finding their way to Triple-A. Stoppelman saw three games with Memphis in 2013, his first time above the Double-A level. He showed poise last season, posting a 1.50 ERA in 55 games combined between three levels. Rondon had a good season as a Redbird in 2013 (51 G, 3.06 ERA), while Greenwood and Fornataro seek to bounce back from tough campaigns. Finally, after hurling a franchise-record 25.2 consecutive shutout innings by a reliever, Freeman found success in both Memphis and St. Louis. The lefty was 7-2 with a 2.97 ERA at Triple-A and 1-0 with a 2.19 ERA in St. Louis. If the St. Louis bullpen did not already have two lefties locked into it, Freeman would probably be on the Opening Day roster for the Cardinals, although he does still have a chance if St. Louis does not mind having three left-handers. The last spot in the Memphis 'pen, an opening most thought Jose Almarante would fill before getting stuck in the Dominican with visa issues, seems to be a wait-and-see issue. If the Cardinals are looking internally to fill the void, it could be Heath Wyatt, simply because of the solid year he put together in 2013 between Advanced-A Palm Beach and Springfield. However, they do have a few players that could wind up on the trade block and provide them with another arm.
With the moves yesterday, St. Louis is down to 34 roster players and seven non-roster invitees left in Major League camp. The key to pitching is keeping arms healthy, which is what the organization is focusing on heading into Opening Day.

Ankiel Retirement
Word got out quickly on Wednesday after Rick Ankiel announced he was retiring during the St. Louis Cardinals' broadcast of their game between the Miami Marlins. With the proclamation, the former 1997 second round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals closed the book on an up-and-down, unique playing career.
Ankiel opened his professional career at Single-A Peoria of the Midwest League in 1998. He advanced through two levels in 1999. He was then rated the #1 top prospect in the minor leagues before the 2000 season, and after a dazzling performance on the mound, Ankiel found himself on the St. Louis roster for the first time in his career. The hard-throwing left-hander became an 11-game winner over 30 starts. He concluded the year with a 3.50 ERA in 175 innings. It would be his only good season as a pitcher, as most know the story of the wheels falling off for Ankiel. The inability to throw strikes forced him to turn his attention to the outfield, where he would adequately survive over seven more seasons with five different big league clubs.
The now-34-year old veteran saw parts of four seasons in Memphis ('99, '01, '04, '07). As a pitcher with the Redbirds, the southpaw ended with a combined 8-5 record and a 3.76 ERA, even being named the Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year in 1999. Even during his best season as a pitcher at Triple-A, the potential as a full-time hitter always seemed to be with Ankiel, when he went 6-for-21 with two doubles and four RBIs in '99. Records say he would not log an at-bat with Memphis again until 2007, when he hit .267 with 32 home runs and 89 RBIs. Those stats warranted a call-up from St. Louis, finishing the year by playing 47 games with the Cardinals and driving in 39 more runners.
That 2007 season with Memphis was one for the books though. He led the team in total bases, (221), home runs and RBIs. He holds three single-game Redbird records, two of which he earned in one game during the '07 season. He is tied with three other players after hitting three home runs on June 16th against Iowa. Ankiel ended up with 13 total bases that game after adding a single to his 4-for-5, three-RBI game, which still stands as the record in that category. The outfielder paired a .314 on-base percentage with a .568 slugging percentage, a career-high between both the majors and minors. He had the highest HR/AB ratio in the Pacific Coast League that year, a mark that stood at 1/12.16. There were 13 different games when Ankiel recorded three or more RBIs. He hit home runs in back-to-back games seven different times, even going yard in four consecutive contests from July 3rd to the 7th. The strong arm he used to pitch with came into play during his time split between right and center fields. While he committed seven errors in 238 chances, Ankiel posted eight outfield assists and started three double plays. Adding to all of that, the then-27-year old swiped four bases in seven chances. He was named a starting outfielder at the Triple-A All-Star Game and awarded a Post-Season All-Star selection from the Pacific Coast League. His promotion to St. Louis on August 9th was well warranted. Ankiel would go on to play two more seasons with the Cardinals in '08 and '09 before moving elsewhere.
For me, Ankiel was someone I thought had it all together. I knew he could throw hard and that he was considered to be good. When he tried to make the conversion from pitcher to outfielder, I gave up on him for a little while. That 2007 season in Memphis would go on to springboard him into a respected all-around outfielder. I will always have two memories regarding him. The first was when I had gotten two of the same rookie cards of him in one baseball pack. I remember being the hot trader on the block with that extra card. The other is actually baseball related and it came when I was glued to the television as the Cardinals were in the midst of a six-game road swing during the 2008 season. It was a beautiful May night in Colorado and Ankiel was manning center field for St. Louis. In what I still consider to be two of the greatest throws from the outfield, Ankiel recorded two assists by gunning the ball with pinpoint accuracy to third base. When he nailed the runner at third for his second assist in eight innings, I was cheering so loud my mom had to tell me to settle down. (Enjoy)
Rick Ankiel was a talented man. Having success after switching from a top pitcher to outfielder will rarely, if ever, happen in the way that Ankiel made it happen. As he continues his life past a playing career, I wish him all the best and give thanks for the memories he provided me with growing up.
MLB Pipeline Prospects – St. Louis
Spring Training is the perfect time to see a majority of an organization's top prospects on display. Talented players get to show whether they have progressed or regressed during the offseason. Prospect talk becomes a hot topic around this time of the year with players from low levels given the potential chance to go up against Major League veterans.
Baseball America released its Top 100 prospect list last week, and this week MLB is releasing each organization's Top 20 list through the MLB Pipeline. The list for the Cardinals was revealed on Tuesday and we offer more information below on those that we project to spend some part of the season with Triple-A Memphis.
No. 20 Sam Freeman: The southpaw has contributed in the St. Louis bullpen the past two seasons with a combined 4.21 ERA in 37 games. Delivering from the left side the past two seasons with the Cardinals, Freeman actually saw better success when dealing with right-handers, holding them to a .179 clip.
The former 32nd round draft pick has some room for improvement to become a sharp middle reliever. Two encouraging signs from Freeman is that his strikeout-to-walk ratio has increased and WHIP has decreased during his rise to higher levels of play.
No. 19 Mike O'Neill: Playing the outfield in every single game during his professional career, O'Neill has never had more strikeouts than walks at any level during his four year career. With a career .435 on-base percentage, he is a player that relies on speed and plate discipline to reach base. O'Neill has never hit more than five home runs in a season, but has yet to commit more than four errors also. The former USC Trojan hits for average and hustles in the field, but it may be tough for him to become a regular at the Major League level.
No. 18 Lee Stoppelman: The fourth left-handed pitcher on the list, Stoppelman is coming off a solid showing at the Arizona Fall League where he posted a 2.89 ERA in 9.1 innings. Not known for blowing the competition away with velocity, he relies on pitch movement and location to keep hitters off balance. A season after holding hitters to a .150 average in 37 games at Double-A Springfield, Stoppelman will more than likely spend his first full season with Triple-A Memphis.
No. 17 Zach Petrick: Even through his college days, Petrick has been known for striking out hitters in excess. Named the 2013 Minor League Pitcher of the Year in the Cardinals' organization, he posted a 1.99 ERA and 122 strikeouts through three different levels. The right-hander relies on location and using a three-pitch mix to keep hitters guessing. Still young, Petrick is entering only his third professional season and was one of eight pitchers that received a non-roster invite to Major League Spring Training this year. His future seems bright with a likely landing spot at Triple-A Memphis.
No. 13 Jordan Swagerty: Unfortunately for Swagerty, the injury bug has plagued him much of the past two seasons. A victim of Tommy John surgery that made him miss the 2012 season and a majority of the 2013 season, the right-hander started as a non-roster invite to Major League Spring Training this year, but was sent to minor league camp after experiencing inflammation in his elbow. Nonetheless, he notches the list because of plus stuff that includes a strong fastball with a solid curveball. He had an impressive run in 2011, spanning three levels of play and possessing a 1.83 ERA. With two plus pitches and past experience, Swagerty has the potential to turn heads if he can stay healthy.
No. 12 Randal Grichuk: Acquired from the Angels with Peter Boujos in the trade that sent David Freese and Fernando Salas to Los Angeles, Grichuk may be best known for being picked one spot ahead of superstar outfielder Mike Trout. The 22-year old has put up sturdy power numbers the past two seasons that include 114 extra-base hits, 40 of those home runs. He may be better known for a good glove though after earning the 2013 Rawlings Minor League Gold Glove Award at right field. He committed two errors while throwing out 11 runners, five of those as part of double plays. If Grichuk can find plate discipline and hit for a higher average, he will have the tools needed to make an impact at the Major League level.
No. 11 Charlie Tilson: Known best for his speed, Tilson has the makeup of a quick outfielder that covers lots of ground and hustles around the base pads. The defense is there and as he progresses through higher levels of play, his offense hopes to remain strong as well.
No. 10 Tim Cooney: Selected in the 3rd round of the 2012 draft, Cooney progressed to Double-A in only his second professional season in 2013. The lefty recorded 148 strikeouts last season, most of any St. Louis minor leaguer. His ability to strike batters out stem from his sinking changeup and strong location skills. He uses his fastball wisely, getting ahead of hitters through the ability to spot the pitch on both sides of the plate. Cooney received a non-roster invite to Major League Spring Training this year and has already received buzz about the terrific job he has done. He will get the chance to prove his stuff at Triple-A this year, and could be a key starter from the left side for St. Louis down the road.
No. 7 James Ramsey: Playing at Florida State University, Ramsey hit above .360 in both his junior and senior seasons. He has struggled to repeat that success at the professional level though, posting a .253 mark through his first two seasons. While his average dipped in 2013, his power numbers surged, as he recorded 16 home runs and a total of 36 extra-base hits. One thing some overlook is Ramsey's speed that allows him good range in the outfield and the ability to leg out infield hits.
No. 5 Marco Gonzalez: The second left-hander in the top 5, Gonzalez is known for coupling his quality control with steady off-speed pitches. While he continues to pitch, look for a good strikeout-to-walk ratio as he consistently pounds the zone. With velocity that will not blow any hitters away, Gonzalez never relies too much on one side of the plate and works in his secondary pitches smoothly. The former Gonzaga Bulldog is expected to make a rapid expansion through the minor leagues, with a chance of seeing action at Triple-A.
No. 3 Stephen Piscotty: The organization is high, and should be, on Piscotty after an excellent 2013 season that was followed up by a first-class showing in the Arizona Fall League. The now-outfielder began his career as a third baseman, but with past experience as a pitcher, the arm strength is not a problem. Even with the ability to get around on inside pitches, Piscotty is more of a line drive hitter that can crack a home run from time to time. The former Stanford Cardinal will look for another strong showing coming off an impressive year.
No. 2 Kolten Wong: At 5'9", Wong has proved to be a perfect fit at second base. Combining quick bat speed, good baseball instincts and a swift agility running the bases and tracking balls down, the former University of Hawaii Warrior has the tools to be an everyday starter on the right side of the infield. Already acquiring big league experience in his third season during 2013 puts Wong a step ahead in trying to secure a job with St. Louis for the 2014 season. He has proven his ability at the minor league level and now things need to translate offensively with the big league club for Wong's hope of earning a job in St. Louis.
No. 1 Oscar Taveras: Simply put, Taveras is the next superstar to come through the St. Louis organization. With a smooth swing, good speed, strong arm and a lot of potential, the outfielder should see time with the big league club at sometime this year.

Promo Sneak Peek #1

On Friday, May 16, when the Redbirds welcome the defending PCL Champion Omaha Storm Chasers to AutoZone Park, it will be Kolten Wong bobblehead giveaway night. The bobblehead is the first of three bobbleheads the Redbirds will feature during the 2014 season.
Cooney Drawing Attention
Tim Cooney, recently ranked as the No. 6 top prospect in the St. Louis organization by Baseball America, has apparently been impressing many people in a short amount of time. Receiving a non-roster invite to Cardinals Spring Training, the former Wake Forest hurler is coming off a terrific 2013 campaign. The southpaw was named a Texas League Mid-Season All-Star, back-to-back Texas League Pitcher of the Week winner, and finished first in the entire St. Louis organization with 148 strikeouts in 2013. Entering his third professional season, Cooney still has yet to allow more than two walks in a single outing. There is a lot of excitement and potential surrounding the young pitcher, as he looks to bust out in 2014.

text: Gulangyu is the third largest island off the coast of Xiamen, a city in Fujian Province in southern China. It is about 2 km2 (0.77 sq mi) in area. It is home to about 20,000 people and is a domestic tourist destination. The only vehicles permitted are small electric buggies and electric government service vehicles. Visitors can reach it by ferry from the ferry terminal in Xiamen. Local residents are allowed to use a shorter 5 minute ferry to/from Heping Ferry Terminal. Tourists and non-locals must now take a longer 20 minute ferry ride from Dongdu International Terminal, as of October 20, 2014 with a fare increase from 8 yuan to 35 yuan. This has been in order to reduce tourist numbers accessing the island in an effort to conserve it. In addition to the ferry tickets, you can book a scenic entrance fees package for 100 yuan to 5 places of attraction, named as A, B, C, D and E (these are attraction locations and not optional routes). Note that at the Dongdu International Terminal you can only book to travel on the day and your passport is required for foreigners. Gulangyu Island is renowned for its beaches and winding lanes and its varied architecture. The island is on China's list of National Scenic Spots and also ranks at the top of the list of the ten most-scenic areas in the province. The architecture is very interesting and there are a large number of fabulous large mansions and was the place where many rich Chinese built their dream homes.

FORT MYERS, FL- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's softball team fell to Bowdoin and Franklin & Marshall on the final day of their spring trip at the Gene Cusic Tournament at the Lee County Sports Complex Wednesday. The Corsairs lost to Bowdoin, 8-0, and then fell to Franklin & Marshall, 15-1.
Michelle Wells pitched a complete game shutout for the Polar Bears in the opener, which ended after six innings due tot he eight-run rule,. The Corsairs got singles from junior left fielder Katy Williams (Charlemont, MA/Mohawk Trail Regional HS), junior pitcher Alyssa Hosford (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS), junior third baseman Emily Surprenant (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS), and freshman first baseman Brittany Eldridge (Raynham, MA/Bridgewater-Raynham HS).
In the nightcap, Eldridge, who started on the mound, scored UMass Dartmouth's only run in the fourth inning when she singled, advanced on a wild pitch and Surprenant's sacrifice bunt, and then scored on an error. That run cut the Diplomats' lead to 2-1, but they scored 13 times in their final three at-bats to earn the victory. Eldridge, sophomore center fielder Jessica Falzone (Revere, MA/Revere HS), and freshman second baseman Beth Berube (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth HS) each had two hits for the Corsairs.
UMass Dartmouth finished their spring trip with a 1-7 record. Bowdoin improved to 9-4, while Franklin & Marshall improved to 9-2. The Corsairs will return from Florida and begin their northern schedule when they host Fitchburg State next Tuesday.

(Reuters) - Germany's Felix Neureuther won the season-opening World Cup slalom in Levi, Finland on Sunday but only after Britain's Dave Ryding had missed out on a glorious opportunity to achieve an historic triumph.
Ryding had led the field at halfway and, as last to go on the second run, had stretched his advantage over Neureuther from 0.14 seconds to 0.51 when, with victory in sight near the end of the course, he hit a rut and missed a gate.
It was an agonising moment for the 30-year-old, who had been tantalisingly close to becoming the first Briton ever to win a World Cup race.
The opening win of the season instead went to the experienced Neureuther, who celebrated his first victory since his daughter Matilda was born by promising to name his reindeer — the traditional winner's prize in Levi — after her.
"I never thought that I could win here. I'm 33, it's my first race as a father so winning here is unreal," Neureuther, who clocked a combined 1 minute 42.83 seconds for his two runs (50.43 seconds and 52.40), told Eurosport.
"It means a lot to me. You had to push really hard, you had to take your chances and still ski smart and it worked out perfectly."
The German, who was winning his 13th World Cup race but his first for nearly two years after overcoming back problems, was 0.37 seconds faster than Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen (1:43.20) with Sweden's Mattias Hargin third on 1:43.28.
Yet Neureuther admitted that he had been "lucky" that Ryding had erred. "He was extremely fast," he conceded.
Ryding had equalled Britain's best-ever World Cup result in January when he was second in the slalom at Kitzbuhel and had looked on course to go one better after clocking the fastest opening run of 50.29.
"It is a shame not to come away with some points, but sometimes slalom can be cruel," Ryding told reporters.
"Going into the second run I knew it was tight and I had to attack. I started the pitch the way I know I can, but halfway down my inside ski just went away from me and that was it."
Austria's Marcel Hirscher made a surprisingly early return just three months after breaking his left ankle in training and, while clearly feeling his way back, the six-time overall World Cup champion reckoned he was pleased with his 17th place finish.

People's Outfitting Co. Building
The 12-story Detroit Commerce Building is perhaps best remembered as the building knocked down for the Book-Cadillac's parking garage.
But before Detroiters parked their cars on its grave, the site was home to the People's Outfitting Co. department store - a place where generations of Detroiters went to shop.
People's was founded by Leopold Wineman in September 1893 in a five-story building at Michigan Avenue and Shelby Street in Detroit. The store's motto: "It's easy to pay - the People's way!" - allowing shoppers to buy everything from cameras to jewelry to furniture on no-interest credit. Signs and advertisements proclaimed People's as "Detroit's largest home furnishers." In addition to the usual tables and chairs, the store also sold carpets, draperies, stoves and other items with which Detroit's increasingly wealthy families could decorate its homes.
As Detroit's fortunes - and its population - grew, Wineman decided to go grow his operations. The original store was torn down and replaced with a 12-story terra cotta-sheethed skyscraper designed in the Chicago School style by renowned architect Albert Kahn and his associate, Ernest Denby. In the meantime, People's temporarily relocated to 113 Michigan Ave., at the corner of Cass Avenue. A large banner was hung from the west side of the building advertising a "rebuilding sale" in all capital letters: "Down comes our building. $200,000 stock will be sold regardless of cost." It was a heck of a sale considering $200,000 in 1915 is the equivalent of $4.4 million today.
The new, 175-foot-tall, steel-reinforced structure opened on May 11, 1916.
The move proved to be a success, and the chain spread to Cleveland, Indianapolis and other cities.
In 1955, Wineman's grandson Henry, then the company's chairman, told the Free Press: "No matter how big People's grows, there will always be the same warm-hearted atmosphere as of old. For People's will never be too big to be human."
But it was too big to stay in business.
In 1959, People's merged with the State Sample Co. department store and closed its downtown store. The company filed for bankruptcy 10 years later. Plans to resurrect it never panned out, mostly because of People's debts.
Starting in the early 1960s, the downtown building became home to various government and institutional offices, including the Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce. It was at this point the building was renamed the Detroit Commerce Building. But as budget belts tightened as the city's population shrank, the building was closed in 1997. Its last tenants included the Detroit Historic Commission and the offices of the Detroit People Mover. For the next nine years, the building sat unused other than large advertisements being hung on its eastern wall. Yet the building remained mostly intact, with the scrappers and vandals that attacked so many of the city's landmarks largely leaving People's alone.
Demolition began in November 2006 and was finished by March 2007. Detroit's Downtown Development Authority paid about $1.4 million to demolish the building using state money.
Today, the parking garage serving the reborn Book-Cadillac stands on the site of the old department store. The building's demise was necessary so that another Detroit landmark could rise.

Tim Duma - Deep Sea Fishing
Tim Duma went on his first deep sea fishing trip when he was ten years old near Miami. The trip was equally exciting for him as it was relaxing for his family, who grew up fishing off of boats and in rivers. Tim Duma is now the owner of a home construction company in Denver Colorado. Although he loves to fish in lakes and in small streams whenever he can, he especially loves taking his boat and fishing for larger fish in deep waters. Timothy Duma taught his children and wife how to make use of the larger-scale fishing equipment he outfitted his boat with so they could enjoy the ocean with him.
Tim Duma got the prerequisite permits for his equipment and his boat to handle larger fish and larger quantities of fish and started taking his family out with him every weekend. He has never had a problem with sea sickness or dealing with the fish once they're out of the water on the deck of his boat. He has proper storage spaces for the fish and never over-fishes his limit as a semi-commercial fisherman. Usually he sells some of his catch at a discount to a few local fish markets he helped set up as a venture capital investor in the area, but the rest he keeps for himself and his family.
Tim Duma has a long career with NASCAR before starting his own home construction company in Denver, Colorado.

I couldn't stand looking at my last two Black Skaven sitting on my desk half painted, it was driving me nuts.
With some trepidation I picked up a brush with my sinister hand and the results are in;
The Ayatollah of rock and rolla, the bringer of base armed with a mace,
The standard bearer turned out a bit crap frankly.
For some reason my dark tone wash just sucked the colour right out of him, I think it was due to the bottle being near empty so possibly the pigment settled at the bottom. On the plus side I think the skeletal bracket and topper turned out fine.
Here are the last of my skaven to finish up for this leg of the marathon;
I've also been lucky enough to have familiars for my sorcerers so this little guy has to get finished up as well;
I've also managed to get some organization done;
I'm less than halfway but it was humbling to realize how much unpainted lead I've got. I'm sure we all have a ton of it.
I can't wait to get this power glove off and get started on some 40k, painting up 20 models for a full game sounds very appealing right about now.
Thanks for watching and please comment. I'd like to hear what y'all think :)

The health and human rights approach to climate change
In retrospect the Dec 2015
Paris Climate Agreement
was and remains (
Update May 2016
) after Paris a global death sentence, as was judged by grassroots climate justice groups in December 2015.
The UN Climate Secretariat Update of projected global emissions at
2030 under the agreement is a 44% (up to 53%) increase from 1990,
which is a 16% (up to 23%) increase from 2010. Moreover at 2030
global emissions will still be on an increasing trajectory.
It sends the world even further away from an emissions scenario that
could stabilize the global temperature
The Paris Agreement has nothing to drive global emissions down.
The national emissions targets (called INDCs) and only 'intended' at that.
They are not commitments nor even pledges or promises.
There is nothing on fossil fuel subsidies (US$ Trillions a year).
Neither shipping nor air transport are included.
There is no carbon or GHG pollution charge or tax.
It contravenes the clear specific commitments of the 1992 UN climate change convention.
"We have to act NOW to slash greenhouse gas emissions." WMO
UNFCCC: Emissions will be higher in 2030 than they are today
Emergency civil society advisory concerning the UNFCCC just published projected temperature increases from the UN proposals (INDCs) for the UN Paris Climate Conference.
The entire world is a dire state of committed climate and oceans change planetary emergency, but the UNFCCC report to policy makers for the UN Paris Climate Conference practically ignores the fact.
And the longstanding long term 2°C equilibrium temperature increase limit has been changed to an easier 2°C only by 2100 target
The long known facts of the climate science are that if we target and hit 2.0°C at 2100, at best we (humanity) will be hit by more surface heating above 2°C slowly increasing for hundreds of years after 2100 and lasting thousands of years. At some point that will trigger so called 'runaway' heating and eventually the end of almost all life. If we want to limit heating to 2°C (for all future generations and life) we have to be under 1.5°C by 2100. We can only do that by putting global emissions into decline NOW.
In the next couple of years we have a slim chance of salvaging a future for humanity, hopefully leading on to a golden clean energy age, but I am afraid this will not happen if the UNFCCC policy maker report is allowed to stand. It allows for long continued GHG emissions, by continued climate complacency and empty mitigation promises from obstructive fossil fuel promoting governments.
The UNFCCC has published Climate Action Now Summary for Policy Makers 2015 (18 November 2015). This was preceded by the 28 October 2015 UNFCCC Synthesis report on the aggregate effect of the intended nationally determined contributions and its Press release.
Civil society NGOs on the 30th October expressed grave concern about 'the UN climate convention secretariat's unduly positive take on national climate pledges'. There is nothing positive about
emissions being higher than today in 2030 considering what they must be to avoid climate catastrophe.
The UNFCCC temperature increase targets and estimated INDC temperature increases are extremely large underestimates, deadly for policy making considerations and for the UN Paris Climate Conference.
The science is definite - it is all in the last two IPCC assessments. Atmospheric CO2 (in particular) is 'forever' in human terms. Global warming, climate change and ocean changes last thousands of years. Long-lived greenhouse emissions must be virtually zero for the global temperature and ocean acidification to ever stabilize. A lower carbon economy is not a virtual zero carbon economy. We have no time left for pledges of small incremental contributions to reductions in emissions. Action is not intentions, it is changing economic and energy policies NOW. It is obvious from disastrous effects today that 2.0C (forever) ) is certain planetary catastrophe. Atmospheric GHG pollution is just starting to impact on top off several ongoing global environmental degradations, socio-economic deprivations and conflict that will be multiplied. Whatever we do at this late stage, no one is going to escape some serious suffering from climate change. The only sane option is to aim for below 1.5°C. To avoid heating the planet above 2.0°C and for any hope of limiting to 1.5°C global GHG emissions must and could actually be made to start declining NOW (on immediate basis). The best well known mitigation tools are the termination of the enormous GHG polluting subsidies and charging all the well-known large central GHG polluters the full cost of pollution. The UNFCCC executive secretary has publically ruled out (to investors) global carbon pricing being an outcome for Paris, which is much more than odd because in May 2015 she received a formal letter from a several large fossil fuel industries asking for just that at Paris.
The UNFCCC policy maker report rules the above out, which practically rules out any kind of a decent future for humanity.
As an expert reviewer for the IPCC published on committed climate change I know the science in the UNFCCC reports are misleadingly fatally flawed for preventing an imminent commitment to global climate catastrophe, including so called climate change 'runaway' and ocean health collapse. As an expert in environmental health protection policy development I know that bright siding the terrible climate and oceans situation will not persuade governments to act by changing policies to protect the global environmental health, and particularly not for future generations. The consequences of not presenting policy makers the full terrible truth at this time I believe will leave humanity with no future worth living.
The UNFCCC policy maker report must be revised for the Paris conference to accurately provide the committed climate and oceans situation, follow the best long term UNFCCC policy limits, accurately provide the science based effects of the emissions being even higher in 2030 than today, and provide the best case mitigation scenario and emergency opportunities. It must be aimed on protecting the health and lives of the billions of most vulnerable, including all today's children.
It is fundamental to recognize tghat continuing constant atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution is changing planet Earth for ever. Global warming, climate disruption, ocean warming, acidification and de-oxygenation will last many thousands of years. Ideas of future generations being able to successfully geoengineering the plant back to safety orof successfully adapting are criminally crazy.
The assessments (IPCC AR4, AR5) show that to avoid an equilibrium 'for ever' temperature increase of over 2.0°C, GHG emissions have to start declining on an immediate basis.
From IPCC AR5 data, anything higher than a sustained long term equklibrium 1.5°C increase could cause the collapse of world agriculture and trigger multiple amplifying feedback 'runaway' heating and climate chaos.
Based on standard risk assessment for the climate situation there is no more time to waste and to lose. It has all been run out by obstructive governments flouting the clear intention and terms of the 1992 UNFCCC and the basic human rights of billions of the most climate change vulnerable.
Risk must include and ocean acidification, warming and deoxygenation in projections, but the latter is not considered in the UNFCC reports.
The large underestimate of the catastrophically dangerous limits and the catastrophic climate change resulting from the grossly inadequate combined national proposals (INDCs) will no doubt be used by obstructive governments to continue ignoring the dire climate change planetary emergency and complacency regarding the drastic immediate emissions reductions required for our future survival.
This makes it even more vital for civil society to push aggressively for the under 1.5°C limit by 2100 (as the 2014 Climate Action Network Int. position) and after 2100. A temperature increase limit of 1.5°C (or 2.0°C) is only possible if GHG (CO2 equivalent) emissions actually start to decline now.
The Paris Climate Conference must not use these UNFCCC reports as the basis for mitigation. They are fundamentally fatally flawed, have no validity in science, in risk, or in human rights.
The 1992 UNFCCC metric for preventing dangerous climate interference is the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, but these are not included.
The 2.0°C limit is now clearly an underestimate of the resulting catastrophic and disastrous climate change impacts. The limit must be under 1.5°C (equilibrium), which is mentioned but the report only addresses the 2.0°C (by 2100).
'At the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, the world's leaders pledged at the highest political level to limit the increase in global average temperatures to below 2 °C, or potentially 1.5 °C. That goal was reaffirmed in the following year's Cancun Agreements,'
The most important target of all is zero long lived GHG emissions, but this I not included in the Policy makers report.
The emergency response at this late stage has to use a global R&D Manhattan type project
The IPCC best case scenario (RCP 2.6) is the only one not above 2.0°C by 2100 and that does not keep increasing higher after 2100. It starts to decline in 2015 (AR5 2014 WG3 presentation and the CAN Int. position).
If not both the 1.5°C and 2.0°C limits will be impossible for humanity to achieve, with the result that civilization and the human population will collapse.
The UNFCCC has published its first Summary for Policy Makers called Climate Action Now Summary for Policy Makers 2015 (18 November 2015). This was preceded by the 28 October 2015 UNFCCC Synthesis report on the aggregate effect of the intended nationally determined contributions and its Press release.
This response to the UNFCCC reports shows that for risk based long horizon policy making, the assumed UNFCCC temperature increase targets and projected temperature increases from the INDCs are way lower than risk based assessment (that is the only recognized policy making approach for extreme risks of fatal impacts to large regional populations or the global population). Indeed the UNFCCC reports provide an excuse for further delay by obstructive governments.
It is widely considered that the 2015 UN Paris Climate Conference (convened by the UNFCC Office) is our last chance to avoid committing humanity and life to a planet Earth in uncontrollable irreversible rapid decline. Even though it is acknowledged by the UNFCCC and the report calls for urgent action, it is shocking that this is not the context of the UNFCC reports, that overall do not give impression that global emissions have to be reduced on an immediate basis, and go as far as far as to say that global emissions decline delayed to 2030 could still allow climate safety- with no evidence and totally absurdly wrong.
'…the IPCC report is only one of numerous warnings over recent decades from scientists regarding the effects of humankind's increasing GHG emissions on communities, ecosystems and economies around the world. As GHG emissions have continued to rise, these warnings have become more urgent and dire'. (UNFCC Climate Action Now p. 6)
'Compared with global emissions in 1990, 2000 and 2010,11 global aggregate emission levels resulting from the INDCs are expected to be higher by 34–46 per cent in 2025 and 37–52 per cent in 2030 in relation to the global emission level in 1990; 29–40 per cent in 2025 and 32–45 per cent in 2030 in relation to the global emission level in 2000; and 8–18 per cent in 2025 and 11–22 per cent in 2030 in relation to the global emission level in 2010'. (30 Oct 2015 UNFCCC INDC Synthesis Report Aggregate effect of the communicated intended nationally determined contributions. D. p. 9)
'If Parties were to not enhance mitigation action until 2030 beyond the action envisaged in the INDCs, the possibility of keeping the temperature increase below 2 °C still remains.'
(30 Oct 2015 INDC Synthesis Report p. 11, 40)
Sources of very large underestimates
1. Only to 2100. In both UNFCCC reports, both the recent policy temperature limits and INDC projections are ONLY UP TO 2100 Amplifying feedback emissions by 2100 and after 2100. They do not account for the many very large planetary sources of CUMULATIVE AMPLIFYING FEEDBACK EMISSIONS causing a very large degree of extra warming over the long term.
2. INDC Policy relevance.
The INDCs are not relevant to policy making, so long as they are not legally binding policies or economic and energy policies have been changed (corrected) for climate change mitigation. Otherwise they are policy misleading being far lower than evidence indicates. Till then the historic trend is policy relevant that presently projects 4.5°C up to 5.9°C. (see figure below)
The emissions estimates quoted by the UNFCCC use the worst approach, which is to include conditional INDCs. Similarly the UNFCCC reports an INDCs surface temperature increase of 2.7°C (no upper range given). The 2.7°C figure is the worst choice as it includes conditional intentions. Climate Interactive using only unconditional INDCs estimates by 2100 3.5°C up to 4.6°C.
The upper ranges will be more like the real world projections due to amplifying climate change GHG feedbacks.
1. Only to 2100 The UNFCCC Summary for Policy makers is limited to 2100
This changes the longstanding long term equilibrium 2°C policy limit for policy making to a limit only by 2100
'There is a significant gap between the expected collective GHG emission reduction effort by 2020 and beyond, and emission pathways consistent with a high probability of preventing warming above 2 °C later this century'. (UNFCCC Climate Action Now Summary for Policy Makers 2015 p. 7)
The just published UNEP 2015 Emissions Gap report also makes it clear the time horizon has been changed from the multiple century equilibrium temperature increase to only at 2100 for the UN Paris Climate Conference.
'Countries will meet again at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 21st Conference of the Parties (COP 21) in Paris with the aim of establishing a new global agreement on climate change, hereafter the 'Paris Agreement', with the ambition of limiting changes in global temperatures to below 2 °C or 1.5 °C warming in 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels'. (UNEP 2015 Emissions Gap report Exec Summary p.1)
The climate change impacts AND RISKS shown with the highest IPCC AR5 scenario are greatly under-estimated 'More than 4°C of temperature rise will likely bring decreased agricultural production, loss of critical ecosystem functions, and extinction of many animal and plant species'.
The best case scenario obviously should be shown but is not.
If this UNFCCC Summary for Policy makers is like the IPCC, presumably some governments have asked the UNFCCC to provide temperature increases only to 2100, but this is deplorable for policy making because it means certain global climate catastrophe for all future generations, and for almost all species.
Judging by the UNFCC report to policy makers and the UNFCCC Paris Climate Conference agenda it also means that will be no consideration of the only planetary emergency response, that being an immediate decline in global emissions, as in the best case IPCC AR5 scenario RCP 2.6 and called for by global civil society (Climate Action Network Int. June 2014 Position Paper).
It takes hundreds of thousands of years to completely stabilize global temperature to full equilibrium once the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations stabilize (IPCC AR5 WG1 ch. 12 p. 1103)
These UNFCCC reports are an extremely large underestimate of the true long term danger thresholds, equilibrium policy limits and INDC temperature increases (long after 2100). There is a wide range of estimates just how much more temperature increase is committed to occur after 2100 due inertia, but there is no question it will be substantial.
Since the very first 1990 IPCC assessment (FAR) it has been known that the full committed equilibrium temperature increase is much higher than the 2100 increase, due to climate system inertia. The FAR estimated it at another 100%, which is the figure given by 2011 NRC Climate Stabilization Targets
The IPCC AR4 illustrations are used here because they are easier to understand.
The actual temperature increases due to climate system inertia vary widely, so the point made here is by the IPCC projections that there is a lot more extra committed (locked in) warming at 2100, that will happen over many centuries after 2100.
This committed increases to 3000 due to inertia in the real world will be greatly increased due to many large planetary sources of extra feedback emissions that will emit under sustained warming over another 1000 years.
This IPCC graph was used by the IPCC to demonstrate global climate change commitment at 2100 temperature increase projections. It shows the extra warming at 2100 up to 2300. It makes it clear that 2°C at 2100 Has the world locked in to much more than 2°C.
These committed increases due to climate inertia in the real world will be considerably higher, due to many large planetary sources of extra feedback emissions that will emit under sustained warming over 1000 years.
Extra temperature increase from amplifying feedback emissions
The IPCC AR5 says that combined feedbacks up to 2100 will be positive meaning they will add to the temperature increase. There are no IPCC estimates of the very largest sources of GHG feedbacks There is a wide range of estimates just how much more temperature increase is committed to occur after 2100 due inertia, but there is no question it will be substantial.
Whatever the added warming will be these IPCC projections show it will be substantial by 2100 and increase for may hundreds to thousands of years long after 2100.
The temperature projections, like the IPCC AR5, do not account for the many very large planetary sources of feedback emissions inevitably caused by global warming that will add to the temperature increase with higher temperatures and longer warming.
Terrestrial carbon feedbacks (that do not include the largest feedback sources, like peat lands and permafrost) are estimated by the 2007 AR4 to be more than 1.0°C by 2100 on a higher emissions scenario and by the IPCC AR5 up to 1.8°C by 2100 (for a medium emissions scenario). They will increase long after 2100. 'Warming tends to reduce land and ocean uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide, increasing the fraction of anthropogenic emissions that remains in the atmosphere. For the A2 scenario, for example, the climate-carbon cycle feedback increases the corresponding global average warming at 2100 by more than 1°C' (IPCC AR4 WG1 SPM p. 13) . The A2 scenario reaches 3.9°C by 2100.
'Based on current understanding of climate-carbon cycle feedback, model studies suggest that to stabilise at 450 ppm carbon dioxide could require that cumulative emissions over the 21st century be reduced from an average of approximately 670 GtC to approximately 490 ( IPCC AR4 WG1 SPM p. 16)
This is a difference of over 35%.
PERMAFROST The permafrost climate feedback will add to the temperature increase by 2100. It holds double atmospheric carbon.
At some degree of warming permafrost thaw becomes irreversible as it generates its own internal
warming (IPCC AR5). For long after 2100 the feedback extra warming will therefore accelerate.
Policy requires a zero tolerance of runaway permafrost feedback, which is the immediate basis most rapid reduction of emissions.
ARCTIC SUBSEA FLOOR METHANE HYDRATE is another enormous risk of carbon feedback which reinforces the immediate basis policy most rapid reduction of emissions.
• The situation for the Paris climate conference is continued policy paralysis and now downgrading danger limits and mitigation responses (new 2°C and 2030 delay).
• Paris must provide more than targets, which mean nothing until governments change economic and energy policies that drive more fossil fuel production.
• Fossil fuel subsidies worldwide are $5.3 trillion per year (IMF) - not on the Paris agenda.
• The Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC (climate convention) has most improperly stated that global carbon pricing will not be on the Paris agenda (even though it is in the draft agreement text).
• The danger limit is NOT 2°C by 2100 (as UNFCCC & UNEP say). It is, at the most, 1.5°C at equilibrium long after 2100. Only under 15C by 2100 could result in a 2.C equilibrium increase long after 2100.
• Global emissions must and can decline BEFORE 2020 - not after 2020, as in the UNFCCC Paris agenda.
• The 1992 climate convention requires atmospheric GHG limits, not just surface warming limits. Again, not on the agenda.
• Current extreme levels and increased rates of all atmospheric GHGs is a definite planetary emergency and global emissions must be put into decline NOW (WMO, November 2015).
I am writing to underscore both the civil society rebuke of the 30 October 2015 UN climate convention agency (UNFCCC) positive spin of national proposals on emissions for the UN Paris Climate Change Conference, and the Global Forest Coalition statement, "The coming tragedy of Paris: A disastrous climate deal that will see the planet burn."
This is also to support the Climate Action Network (CAN) International 2014 position, the only position that is right by the science and by human rights.
As an expert reviewer of the IPCC 2014 Fifth Assessment, I must say that the just published UNFCCC INDC analysis and UNFCCC Climate Action Now Summary for Policy Makers 2015 (18 November 2015), also the 5 November 2015 UNEP 2015 Emissions Gap report for the UN Paris climate conference are highly misleading on our situation and misrepresent the science. By not communicating the planetary emergency (rather, giving obstructive governments an excuse to continue ignoring it), they make the situation much worse.
We are far beyond targets. Until governments actually act to change their present economic and energy policies, nothing will happen, whatever their UN "intended" climate proposals are.
Minimum survival policies are:
• Limit global surface temperature below 1.5°C
• Ensure that global emissions decline from NOW (2015 as in CAN Int. 2014 position and IPCC AR5 RCP 2.6)
• Terminate fossil fuel subsidies
• Charge large corporate polluters the full cost of carbon
Governments must at least commit to these at Paris. They don't all have to agree in order for responsible governments to make these changes right away.
If humanity is to have a future, at least one worth living, emissions must decline between now (2015) and 2020. The Climate Action Network (CAN Int position) last year said 2015 for global emissions to decline. It is correct - the IPCC 2007 assessment said 2015 at the latest, which was presented by the IPCC in 2014. The IPCC 2014 Fifth Assessment says 2015 to 2020 (RCP2.6). Anything less at this stage of climate and ocean disruption is far from enough.
Civil society NGOs should write to the UNFCCC and UNEP as well as their governments. Emissions must actually decline starting now (immediate basis). For that, governments must stop subsidizing fossil fuels and must start to charge the full cost of carbon pollution - in short order.
The two UN reports suggest global emissions decline could be delayed to 2030,which is climate change crazy.
The UNFCCC and UNEP reports are extraordinary. They downplay the climate emergency and also downgrade the required response. They have let the high-emitting, low-responding governments off the hook of accountability and at the same time have lowered the mitigation response they must make. They have eased the longstanding long-term 2ºC equilibrium temperature limit to 2°C only by 2100 (thereby moving the goalposts). For policymaking, it must be assumed that a 2100 2°C limit will continue increasing long after 2100 to equilibrium. Making it easier for high carbon polluters is the last thing the UNFCCC and UNEP should be doing. Governments are being allowed to get away with irreversibly poisoning the planet forever. It takes 100,000 years for CO2 emissions to completely disappear from the atmosphere.
The 2015 UNEP Emissions Gap Report says that it "... compares the resulting emission levels in 2030 with what science tells us is required to be on track towards the agreed target of a global average temperature increase below 2°C by 2100."
But that is not true. It permits the temperature to increase higher than 2°C after 2100, which is not the agreed target. The target is 2°C stabilized equilibrium temperature - 2°C for hundreds of years and hopefully less.
The state of the global climate and the state of play for a new UN treaty to put emissions into decline are terrible. Both have never been worse. These reports give no indication that we are all in a dire state of emergency for our future survival and, as the WMO says, we have to act now to slash greenhouse gas emissions.
The claim in the UNFCCC and UNEP reports that the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (that is, governments' non-binding proposals on emission reductions) signify great momentum and climate prospects is the most dangerous nonsense. It is incredibly misleading to the public when the UNFCCC report predicts that at 2030, emissions will be even higher than today! That is the worst news ever.
2°C is not the only limit for the Paris conference. The other option is under 1.5°C. The UNEP report includes the 1.5°C limit alternative along with the 2°C but it makes both only to 2100 (instead of long term). The UNFCCC report is all 2°C. That is really bad because the 1.5°C UN limit is so that billions of the most vulnerable and Small Island States might survive. Now it is clear that under 1.5°C is the limit if we are all to have a future worth living.
Even so, the UNEP Emissions Gap report projections show emissions must decline on an immediate-term basis even for 2.0°C by 2100 ... but UNEP is not calling for this.
The UNFCCC report projections also show emissions must decline on a right-now basis even for a high chance of a 2°C limit by 2100, but the UNFCCC is not pointing that out.
The UNFCC report on emissions claims that global emissions can be delayed to 2030 and still lead to climate safety. This is absurdly wrong.
If 2°C only by 2100 is allowed to stand, Paris will be condemning us to a world of progressive decline in food production. At +1°C, all crops for the most vulnerable regions decline, and at +2°C, all crops in all regions decline.
It has always been recognized that above 2.0°C, all future generations face multiple inter-reinforcing feedback climate change runaway.
The UNFCC global emissions estimate, applying the most lenient standards on proposals (INDCs), estimates that emissions at 2030 will be even higher than todayand on an increasing trajectory. If that is allowed to stand, it leaves humanity with no future - or no future worth living.
*The only practical way round this is to push for the IPCC AR5 best-case scenario RCP2.6, which after all is the only scenario that does not go above 2°C by 2100 and the only one that does not keep increasing after 2100. It is the IPCC global survival scenario.

Carnegie Hall | Manhattan's Biggest Concert Venues
Carnegie Hall is Manhattan's biggest concert venues. It is located on Seventh Ave stretching over to 57th St and two blocks just south of Central Park. It is known as the most admired venues in the world for popular music today and classical music from our time in history.
This beautifully designed piece of art has been the host to more than 50,000 events over the period of its long history. Visitors are welcomed to the restored landmark to embark with one of three concert stages, history archives and the Rose Museum. Its homes to many of the world's finest orchestras, today's pop music and chamber music and recitals.
History of the Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Hall was designed by architect William Tuthill and built by Andrea Carnegie in 1891. It first opened in May of 1891 with its first concert by Walter Damrosh and Peter Tchaikovsky, maestro and composer. The building itself was one of the largest in New York City at its time with built in masonry that supported the Florentine style design. Corinthian pilasters in the foyer were one of the key points to catch the eyes by many.
The hall housed performing arts groups with its last residency back in 1962 when New York Philharmonic moved to the Avery Hall in 1973. Until the early 1920's, ownership stayed in the Carnegie family when Mrs.'s Carnegie sold the hall to Robert Simon, real estate developer. There were plans on moving the hall in the 1950's but was unable to find a buyer until the 1960's when New York City purchased the building.
There are three concert halls with the Main Hall seating over 2800 people on 5 different levels. The Zankel Hall was originally an auditorium with renovations turning it into a 599 person cinema and recital hall and then back to an auditorium in the late 1990's. The Weill Recital Hall is the smallest of the three halls seating only 268 people. It was originally called the Carnegies Chamber of Music Hall until 1986.
Performances at the Hall
There have been more than 50,000 live performances. Performing at Carnegie Hall is one of any artist's main achievements to make their name during their career. Judy Garland, Dvorak's Sympathy 9 and Dr. Martin Luther King all made an appearance during their career. For more than a century now Carnegie Hall has been the only place where artists have kept the tradition in performing at the world's most famous concert hall.
Visiting Carnegie Hall
You can access Carnegie Hall by subway, taxi and bus. Easy accessibility from all parts of New York City is available. You can purchase tickets to live events by purchasing online at www.carnegiehall.org. There are many performances, fine dining venues, café's and banquets for private events. Guided tours and the Rose Museum are two great ways to educate yourself with the history of the hall. If this is your first time at the hall the website gives detailed information on what to expect for your first visit.

Work on final phase of bike trail under way
Final phase of Warren bike trail shaping up
Work on the $1.73 million second phase of the Warren bike trail in the central part of the city is under way and likely to be complete in late spring.
By Ed Runyan
Work on the $1.73 million second phase of the Warren bike trail in the central part of the city is under way and likely to be complete in late spring. It traverses about three-quarters of a mile.
The project runs from South Street Southeast to Elm Road Northeast, crossing East Market Street near ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital, traveling across a railroad bridge that is being rebuilt at a cost of $467,000 and emerging onto city streets near Warren G. Harding High School.
Federal funds are paying for it.
It completes the 3.9-mile Warren section of the trail, which is part of the 100-mile Great Ohio Lake-To-River Greenway.
Much of the trail, which eventually will carry riders and walkers from Ashtabula to East Liverpool, is complete.
As with the part of the Niles trail completed last year, this phase travels through residential and commercial areas of Warren, and one of its most notable features is the restoration of a railroad bridge.
The bridge is just south of the high school and needs a new deck, was raised about two feet, will be sanded and restored, and will have a retaining wall and landscaping features added to the steep banks of the trail.
Improvements also are being made to a nearby culvert that runs under the trail.
Lots of dirt is being moved to create a new right turn at the end of the bridge so the trail can cross Woodland Avenue Northeast and pass through the rear of the A&B Unfinished Furniture store on Elm Road, and emerge onto Elm Road beside A&B.
From there it will continue on completed sections of the trail on Paige Avenue Northeast toward the former Delphi Packard Electric facilities.
Some of the properties the city needed to acquire to run the project through the neighborhood near Harding are still in ligitation, but the construction can proceed anyway, said Paul Makosky, Warren city engineer.
The path will cross East Market Street just east of Charles Avenue at the "high point" of East Market Street, Makosky said.
Using the high point should help with visibility, helping motorists see bicyclists and pedestrians as they cross the four lanes of traffic at Market Street.
The intersection carries 16,200 vehicles per day, making it one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city, according to a traffic count.
Signage for motorists and bike/pedestrian traffic will be installed on Market Street and the bike trail, and pavement markings will be placed on the East Market Street pavement, according to engineering drawings.
The trail pavement is likely to be among the last parts of the project, because the plants that produce the asphalt don't reopen until May, Makosky said.
Vanessa White, whose house is close to the Charles Street portion of the trail, said last week she is excited to see something coming to her neighborhood that will give her kids, and the many other neighborhood children, nice recreational opportunities.
From Market Street, the trail will travel beside Charles Avenue one block, then follow the railroad bed to the new bridge and provide convenient access to Harding.
"It's cool that our kids won't have to ride around on the streets," she said. "It's good for them to get out and do physical activity."
White, who said she grew up in the city, noted that the Charles Avenue area is among those that have abandoned homes.
"It's kind of a destitute city. It's nice to see them taking down houses, especially on this side of town. They're doing something positive."
A letter writer to a local newspaper recently thanked the city for the improvements to Northend Park made when the city built the first phase of the bike trail.
The park, just west of North Park Avenue, has parking spaces, a pavilion, restrooms, drinking fountain and lots of green spaces.
"It's really a treasure to behold," Michael Adkins wrote. "My wife and I have been living one street over from the park; we can see it from our back yard. For 27 years, we've lived in the same area where our children grew up. Our kids played at the old Northend Park, and now our grandsons can enjoy the new Northend Park. It is truly amazing."

I've seen postings on craigslist before, but this seems to be the first time that the mainstream media has caught on. There are a few safety issues with using another woman's milk for your own child. This mother has already donated some milk to a local milk bank, so it's likely that she has been tested for all the right things already.

In conventional transmissions, efficiency and performance are compromised by using fixed speed ratios. A continuously variable transmission is desired, but the costs, complexity and power ratings are not compatible with the requirements. Combining electric and mechanical drives (i.e. hybrid drive) have many advantages, but extra components and control are required. The electric variable transmission (EVT) is a hybrid transmission which combines all functionalities into one single unit. This expands the application areas and advantages of applying continuously variable hybrid drives.
The invention is a continuously variable transmission (only two rotating parts) providing full hybrid functionality. The unique construction provides more compactness than competitive technologies. As there is no mechanical link between input and output, the unit provides excellent isolation and decoupling. The main application is a hybrid transmission for powertrain applications. Additional key applications and optimisation techniques are covered by associated inventions, like systems using the EVT as a torque converter, a variator in a power split or in combination with stepped transmissions.
The EVT is suitable for use in any application where continuously variable and electric drive are combined in combination with electric power generation. This provides significant improvements in overall system efficiency and extended functionality. Example applications include:
The EVT is a dual-rotor electric machine based on robust induction motor technology. Due to unique design features, the EVT has a higher power density and specific power than competitive products. Low complexity due to only having two moving parts enables low maintenance and cost. As the EVT functions in power split mode, the power rating and cost of the associated power electronics is significantly reduced in comparison with a full electric-only transmission.

First I want to say that I'm not a breeder of the Russian Blue. It is a dream to be a breeder in the future but first I must find a beautiful Russian girl. In the Netherlands isn't that easy.
My first Russian Blue arrived at 17 March 2002. At that moment he was 12 weeks old. His name is Boris. As kitten he was very sweet. He still is, but he does have his own will. He loves to play with mice. When my brother visits us he calls him often to invite him to play with him and the mice in the bedroom. Boris is very devoted to me. When he was a kitten he sleeps on me at night so that I couldn't sleep. It seems like my baby and my boyfriend was often angry.
When Boris was here for a month we bought a German Shepard. It took 1.5 week before Boris accepted him. He didn't see dogs before in his live, but now it goes ok. The Russian does accept new ones very easy I think. When I got Demi also at 12 weeks old (24th of January 2003) it took one day before Boris totally accepted him. Demi is also very devoted to me.
Every night when we go to bed he sleeps between my legs and stays there for a few hours. Demi is also a sweet boy and easier to handle than Boris.
Russian Blues can eat difficult or not at all when the boss is on a holiday. I can speak for myself because when I did go to the vet with Boris to let him neutered, I must go back in the evening because there was something wrong. He must stay there and sleep one night.
He didn't eat at the vet's place and in the morning when I could pick him up to go home I gave him some meat. He eat much and then he fells asleep in bed for almost the whole day.
He missed me very much and I was very glad that he was home again. Our vet loves Boris and Demi a lot. She said that they're very beautiful. And I think they are and I love them very much!!
Boris and Demi could play very good together but they can play good for themselves. Especially with mice. I don't let Boris and Demi outside, because I'm too scared that they'll be stolen and I think an inside live is safer.
Boris likes vacuum cleaning. The most Russians don't like hard sounds of the vacuum cleaner but here it is not a problem when I start cleaning. I think that's a care for the breeder, that they're used to the noise of the vacuum cleaner.
Russians also do fetch. Demi loves to talk with me. When he starts to MIAUW I'll react and then he'll start a whole talk to me and I love that.
Patterns, colours and size
The Russian Blue is original Blue but there are also Russian White and Russian Black. They do have the same profile as the Russian Blue. The male is bigger than the female. A female weight between 2-4 kg and a male weight between 4.5-6 kg. Boris weights 5.5 kg and Demi somewhere about 4.5 kg, so Boris is bigger then Demi.

There are an unlimited supply of classic childrens clothing in the shops in Brussels!
This dress is so simple. I love it. The fabric is like the plaids I wore as a child.
Very Old Fashioned.
Some very nice pleating going on here!
It was smocked to the waist and would look so nice on an older girl.
I am very impressed with how they handled the plaids in this dress.
The same dress for a Little Sister!
Too cute.
