Profiting From Catastrophe: If Fossil Fuel Companies Burn All Their Reserves We're Undeniably Screwed
Here are the facts: The business models at the center of our economy are in the deepest possible conflict with physics and chemistry.
http://www.alternet.org/environment/154 ... ly_screwed" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This is particularly relevant:
Of course it goes without saying that they'll keep burning that carbon into the atmosphere as to do otherwise would mean financial disaster and in some cases violent uprisings against states. Democracies won't elect leaders who demand economic sacrifice in exchange for ecological security. Nevermind the fact that even if half the world actually did do that, you'd still have giants like China, India and the USA among others not curtailing their fossil fuel use.If we spew 565 gigatons more carbon into the atmosphere, we'll quite possibly go right past that reddest of red lines. But the oil companies, private and state-owned, have current reserves on the books equivalent to 2,795 gigatons -- five times more than we can ever safely burn. It has to stay in the ground.
Put another way, in ecological terms it would be extremely prudent to write off $20 trillion worth of those reserves. In economic terms, of course, it would be a disaster, first and foremost for shareholders and executives of companies like ExxonMobil (and people in places like Venezuela).
This of course leads one to foresee a rather bleak future. It is inescapable. We're screwed. Optimism won't fix the problem. The ship is sinking.
However, as a Mahayana Buddhist what can you do? You might curtail your own energy consumption, but at the end of the day it is just a token gesture given the monstrous pollution created by our greater societies.
So, in the coming decades, Buddhism as a whole will face unprecedented problems with the rest of the world. Ecological payback that will probably see deaths on an enormous scale. With it all the social discontent and emotional and psychological deterioration that accompanies cultures in rapid decline.
This leads me to think that mere "Dharma Centers" teaching meditation and a few classes won't be enough. Institutions will have to address a lot more severe problems than stress from the workplace and family. Poverty, hunger and destitution will be huge problems in the coming decades. Moreover, you can expect violence to become more and more commonplace in what was once peaceful communities as economies contract and governments inevitably slap down anger revolts.
We'll see what happens over time, but everything from peak oil to climate change points in the direction of everything going down hill. Still, I know few Buddhists who really recognize and acknowledge this. In modern Chinese Buddhism they like to talk about "building a Pure Land on Earth," which is essentially utopianism, but I think quite blind to the hard reality facing us all. The sentiment is that if you purify your own mind and maybe take up environmentalism, people will follow suit. This might mean bringing your own reusable bag to the grocery store, but such practices fail to consider that there are more cars on the roads than ever which shuttle those shoppers with their reusable bags. A nice gesture, but ultimately futile.
Ideally, we can be of aid to others as much as possible as the sting of our collective past deeds becomes intolerable, but in order to do that we should really prepare for some seriously hard times.

Civil War Commemoration Set for Sept. 27• August 28, 2013 Share:
Wabash College will commemorate the 150th anniversary of its involvement in the Civil War with a day-long event titled "500 Strong: Wabash College Students in the Civil War." Faculty, staff, and alumni will make presentations and Lilly Library will host a special exhibition on Friday, September 27, 2013. The public is cordially invited to attend and may register for the event here.
Highlighting the event will be the release of the book 500 Strong: Wabash College Students in the Civil War, a volume more than 25 years in the making. Edited by Emeritus Professor of History James J. Barnes and Patience P. Barnes, the book includes biographies of more than 500 Wabash College students, professors, and alumni who fought in the Civil War.
Most of the biographies were researched and written by Wabash College students taking Professor Barnes' senior seminar course in American history over the course of more than 20 years.
"Not only does the book contain individual bios of veterans of the Civil War, it also includes numerous sidebars, stories, and soldiers' diary entries illuminating little known details of the war," said Arthur R. Baxter '56, who, along with his wife Nancy, co-owns Hawthorne Publishing, the company that published 500 Strong. "Over 100 battles or skirmishes are represented and several important generals like James J. Reynolds and Edward Canby and of course Lew Wallace, all Wabash men, are given special attention."
Jim and Patience Barnes will kick off the event with a discussion of their new book at 1:00 p.m. The afternoon will feature presentations on the Battle of Chickamauga, the Colored Regiments of the Civil War, the Nature of Warfare, and Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War.
Two descendants of Wabash alumni who fought in the Civil War, Bob Quirk '50 and Ezra Ball '96, will also make a presentation.
All events will be held in Hays Science Hall in room 104 on the Wabash campus.
A reception and dinner will be held at 6:00 p.m. in Detchon Center's International Hall. The keynote speaker will be Dan Crofts '63, who is Professor of History at the College of New Jersey and a frequent contributor to the New York Times blog "Disunion." Cost of the dinner is $25 per person and reservations are required. Please contact Heather Bazzani in the Alumni and Parent Relations Office if you have questions or special dietary restrictions.

The North Carolina Spot Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend in Hampstead
The North Carolina Spot Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend in Hampstead. To mark the milestone, festival organizers have scheduled a bounty of activities, including two days of live music, Saturday night fireworks, craft booths and food vendors, a 5K run and a beauty pageant.
At the center of all the hubbub is the fish itself, the spot, the delectable little swimmer that makes it all happen. According to Kevin Brown, biologist with the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries and a spot expert, spot fishing is important both commercially and recreationally.
"In the southern region, spot is one of the biggest inshore fisheries," Brown said. "Annual spot catches average two million pounds commercially, with recreational landings at around one million pounds."
Fishermen take to the water in droves every fall, hoping to add to the haul.
"If you haven't witnessed a full spot run on a fishing pier in North Carolina, you haven't witnessed real fishing," Brown said.
A small migratory fish common along the Atlantic seaboard, the spot is easily recognized and named after the black smudge located directly behind its gill cover. After spawning offshore during the winter, the small spot ride currents inland and grow during the spring as the weather warms. This cycle continues over the summer and, by the time fall hits, schools of spot move out of the estuaries and into prime fishing waters.
September is the peak month for spot fishing in North Carolina. The average "keeper" spot for fishermen is nine inches long, weighs up to a half-pound and is two years old.
Hampstead has hosted the N.C. Spot Festival every year since 1963. Lynn Lanier is the festival chairman and has been involved with the event for 30 years.
"The Spot Festival originated from a fish fry for the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Department," Lanier said. "People caught on and we've done it every year, adding booths and arts and crafts to what it is today. The spot only comes around here in the fall since its a migrating fish, so the festival grew up around the time when so many were in the local waters."
Atlantic Seafood in Hampstead is an event sponsor and donates the fish to the festival. Organizers estimate that they will serve about 6,500 plates, with two fish per plate. Besides all of the festivities and the fried fish plates, the annual event is also a fundraiser.
"All proceeds go back into the community, specifically to the fire department and the eastern Pender County school system," Lanier said.
Besides the Saturday night fireworks, other notable events include the return of beach music legends The Embers, who last performed at the Spot Festival on its 25-year anniversary. Also returning is the original Spot Festival Queen, Carolyn Howard, who will introduce this year's Spot Festival Pageant winner.

Red Pack Takes Third at Pre-Nationalsby Brent Harris • October 9, 2010 Share:
WAVERLY, Iowa - The Wabash cross country team executed its plan to near perfection Saturday at the Dan Huston Invitational, finishing third out of 24 teams.
The meet was hosted by Wartburg College on the same course that will serve as home for the 2010 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championship meet in November.
"Our goal heading into the race was to run as a team through the first 5,000 meters," Head Coach Roger Busch said. "We accomplished that, which should really help our third-, fourth-, and fifth-place runners when we head to the NCAA Regional in five weeks. Today's effort should help them believe they can run with our top runners and still be strong at the end of the race."
Wabash scored a total of 139 points, finishing ahead of fourth-place Augustana, ranked 13th in this week's US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association national poll. The Little Giants also finished ahead of seventh-ranked Wisconsin-Platteville (fifth place).
Seth Einterz (left) finished sixth overall, crossing the finish line in 25:55. He finished less than a minute behind Colorado College's Jackson Brainerd, who claimed the individual title with a time of 24:59. Kevin McCarthy was 23rd with time of 26:33. Donavan White took 29th place (26:41), while Brian David posted a lifetime-best time of 26:49 to finish in 32nd place. Jared Allen was 53rd (27:26).
"Brian really ran well for us," Busch said. "He ran with our top runners for most of the race and hung on at the end. It was a difficult day to run. You train in 65-degree weather, then suddenly have to run Hopefully he carries today's results with him over the next five weeks. If he continues to work on his confidence and his fitness he can stay with our top three and have a chance to be on the all-region team.
"Seth ran well, and could have finished third if he had started hard at the gun. That wasn't the plan at this time of the year. We need these five weeks to gain more confidence as a team heading into the regional."
While five of the Little Giants were competing in Iowa, the remainder of the team ran at the Gibson Family Invitational in Terra Haute. Wabash finished eighth overall, with freshman Jake Ponton posting his fastest time of the year at 27:53 to finish 27th.
"Jake celebrated his birthday yesterday and gave himself a nice present with a good effort at Terre Haute," Busch said. "If he can continue to work hard, he can earn a varsity spot by the time the regional race rolls around."

Closed-door meeting set on Rock Run natural gas drilling
A meeting being held Thursday by the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources about natural gas drilling in Loyalsock State Forest is being kept closed to the general public and media.
Only certain elected officials and a pair of environmental groups are being invited to participate in a discussion with DCNR about Anadarko Petroleum's proposal to drill for natural gas on nearly 25,000 acres in the Rock Run area of McIntyre Township.
Environmental groups say drilling in the forest will spoil pristine forests, wetland and streams inside the Pennsylvania Wilds.
But the opportunity to provide input to DCNR on the process from citizens and environmental groups has fallen on deaf ears, they say.
That will continue Thursday, as about 30 invited "stakeholders" – including Lycoming County commissioners, a number of township supervisors, the state chapter of the Sierra Club and the Responsible Drilling Alliance meet at the closed-door session, according to a previous report from National Public Radio's StateImpact website.
While DCNR is not subject to the state's Sunshine Law that provides for open access to meetings, a quorum of elected officials from any municipality at the meeting could constitute the need to hold an open meeting, according to Melissa Melewsky, media law counsel for the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association in Harrisburg.
"They've invited public officials," Melewsky said. "The problem, at this point, is we don't know who is going to attend. Who shows up is the real question."
She said the public's right to know what takes place at a meeting held by a government agency is circumvented in cases such as this.
"I don't know if I agree with that, certainly, in light of the public interest in this issue. This is obviously a critical issue for residents and taxpayers," Melewsky said.
According to Pennsylvania's Sunshine Law, "Official action and deliberations by a quorum of the members of an agency shall take place at a meeting open to the public unless closed … " under certain exceptions.
One of those exceptions is for agency conferences, but no deliberation of agency business may take place, according to the law.
"Reporters will not be able to sit in on the meeting, but we will make our DCNR folks available to talk after the meeting," said Christine Novak, DCNR press secretary.

Week Ending May 15, 2005
This week not only saw the completion of the submerged pipeline and dredge mooring facility offshore in Hollywood, but the first dredge load of sand was placed onto the beach. Nearly 4,300 cubic yards of sand, equivalent to about 360 dump truck loads, were pumped on to create new beach.
Because this area of the beach in south Hollywood is extremely narrow, the first few loads will be used to elevate the pipe landing so that subsequent loads will not bury the pipe (see the last photo below). The first dredging efforts will proceed slowly in order to calibrate the dredge's suction and pumping operations for the particular characteristics of the material.
A preparatory operational and safety meeting was held on the beach in Hollywood to insure that everything goes smoothly.

Roles and Responsibilities
Before recruiting students to any community engagement program, it is important to have a clear sense of the role they will play and the responsibilities they will be given. Campus/organizational needs and culture, available resources, and student culture determine the roles and responsibilities given to students and have resulted in several different models throughout the CSU.
When designing your own student leader roles and responsibilities, there are four main areas where students can play a significant role in supporting community engagement (manual pages 30-57):
- Developing co-curricular community engagement programs and even
- Supporting academic service-learning courses
- Strengthening campus-community partnerships
- Serving in a governance positions
The (Student Leader) has helped our agency staff better understand service learning. They have also been a resource to professors, which helps bring more students to our organization; thereby, increasing awareness of the work we do.
—Community Partner, CSU Monterey Bay
ACTIVITY (from pages 14-17 of the Workbook)
Create one potential position for a student leader in your program. Remember to think back to your ideas in the Asset Mapping Activity (.pdf). We recommend that job descriptions are created jointly by staff and student; however, it can be completed individually. Consider the following questions related to the job descriptions you just created:
- What needs to be put in place in order to support a student in this position?
- What are the logical next steps when you return home?
- What questions remain?
The CSU Center for Community Engagement gratefully acknowledges the Surdna Foundation for its generous and visionary support of The Next Stage: Boosting Service Learning to New Heights, three-year grant initiative.

The Hype Theory - "Where We Started"
The Hype Theory Take Us Back "Where We Started"
The Hype Theory are a five piece pop-punk band from Essex, UK. After exploding onto the UK scene in 2011 with a little help from Red Bull, The Hype Theory won over new fans and industry support following huge performances at UK festivals including Download, T in the Park, Sonisphere and the UK Metal Hammer Awards. A vigorous touring schedule cemented their position as the UK's best female fronted pop-punk band, leading to comparisons to names such as Paramore and We Are The In Crowd.
The bands debut album "Glory Days" was released in Autumn 2011 and received excellent reviews from the likes of Kerrang, Rock Sound, Front Magazine and many others, delivering two singles, "We Will Be Singing" and "Kid at Heart." The third and final single from the album will be released early 2012 before the band look set to promote the release of the album in Japan and Europe.
The video for "Where We Started" is an acoustic version of the album track preformed exclusively for BlankTV. Singer, Katy comments:"It is my favourite track on the album. The song is about how relationships always change after a few years, and how you wish you could go back to how it was when you first started".

Hello one and all,
For some time now, I have been attempting to migrtate the Checkpoint FW-1 out, and replace it with a Cisco PIX 515 with a failover unit and a Sonicwall Pro 200. Along with this new infrastructure equipment I purchased a Cisco VPN Concentrator 5001. Now, I am having a wide range of networking issues when I try to cut over to the new network components.
If anyone has any good articles with respect to routing and the setup of two firewalls on a single LAN, please let me know.
cheers from Sydney

NEW YORK (AP) An attorney for M.I.A. says his client and the NFL have reached a settlement ending their multimillion dollar dispute over the Sri Lankan rapper's flash of the middle finger during her 2012 Super Bowl halftime performance with Madonna.
Attorney Howard E. King said in a statement Friday that the two had reached a confidential settlement, but offered no further details.
The Hollywood Reporter reported last year that the NFL took action with the American Arbitration Association for breaching her performance contract and tarnishing the league's reputation, asking for $1.5 million in damages.
A spokesman said the league had no comment. NFL officials have said any money earned from the action would be donated to charity.

RIAA Spent $17.6 Million In Lawsuits... To Get $391,000 In Settlements?
from the business-as-usual dept
So if we're doing some quick math, over a three year period, the RIAA spent over $64 million on this lawsuit campaign... which brought in about $1.4 million in settlement money. We're talking about getting back about 2% of the money spent.
Wow. These lawsuits weren't just a money pit. They were an economic disaster. And don't buy the argument that this was the cost of "educating" people not to file share. If that were the case, then file sharing wouldn't still keep increasing. There's no way you can look at these numbers and not realize just how disastrous the RIAA's legal campaign was. And yet the RIAA bosses are getting raises? Incredible. It's been a dozen years since the RIAA had a very real opportunity to lead the recording industry into the digital era by adapting and embracing what the technology allowed. Instead, they've fought it the whole way, costing millions of dollars, and severely impacting the labels' bottom lines. Can anyone explain why the labels are still supporting the current RIAA leadership when it appears that every step of the way they've made exactly the wrong decisions?

Man Accidentally Divorces Wife in Sleep
Mar 28, 4:06 PM (ET)
NEW DELHI (AP) - Village elders ordered a Muslim man in eastern India to leave his wife after he accidentally divorced her in his sleep, a news report said Tuesday.
Aftab Ansari uttered the Urdu word for divorce, "talaq," three times in his sleep, prompting his worried wife to discuss the matter with her friends, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
Under Islamic law, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a permanent end to his marriage.
Muslim leaders in the couple's village in West Bengal state found out and decreed that Ansari's unconscious utterances constituted a divorce, PTI reported.
But 30-year-old Ansari said he had no intention of leaving his wife of 11 years.
"I have not given talaq. When I uttered talaq three times I had taken medicines to help me sleep," he was quoted as saying in the report.
The religious leaders said that before remarrying, the couple would have to be apart for at least 100 days and that the wife, Sohela, would also have to spend a night with another man and then be divorced by him.
PTI reported that the couple has been ostracized because of their refusal to abide by the decision of the village leaders.

Snell scores 22 points as No. 19 New Mexico holds off Boise State 79-74 in OT
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
BOISE, Idaho – Tony Snell scored 22 points and Hugh Greenwood added 15 to lead No. 19 New Mexico to a 79-74 overtime victory over Boise State on Wednesday night.
Snell and Greenwood dominated the overtime, teaming for nine of the Lobos' 16 points. The win was the third straight for the Lobos (16-2, 3-0 Mountain West Conference).
Derrick Marks scored 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting for Boise State (13-3, 1-1), which saw its seven-game winning streak snapped and have yet to beat New Mexico since joining the Mountain West last season.
Greenwood put the game into overtime when he took advantage of a Boise State miscue on defense and drove a wide-open lane for a layup, tying the score at 63 with 54 seconds left.
In overtime, New Mexico forced turnovers and poor shots. Snell's baseline jumper with 2:25 left put the Lobos up 71-66.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A top U.S. counter-terrorism official met with officials in Libya Tuesday as a House committee opened a hearing on the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
The White House said John Brennan, President Barack Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser, met with senior Libyan officials, including President Mohammed Magarief, to discuss "the continuing investigation into the Benghazi attacks, including specific additional steps Libya can take to better assist the U.S. in ensuring that the perpetrators are brought to justice."
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said Brennan "urged Libya to take full and timely advantage of specific offers of assistance from the United States and other international partners."
The announcement came as the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened a hearing into security at the consulate, where U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack Sept. 11.
Utah National Guard Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, who was deployed in Libya for six months before leaving in August, testified at the hearing security in Benghazi "was a struggle and remained a struggle throughout my time there."
"The situation remained uncertain and reports from some Libyans indicated it was getting worse," Wood testified.
Eric Nordstrom, the State Department official responsible for security for U.S. diplomatic personnel in Libya, testified department officials "conducted themselves professionally" in Benghazi prior to the Sept. 11 attack, The New York Times reported.
Nordstrom, who served in Libya from September 2011 to July 2012 -- six weeks before the attack in Benghazi -- said the consulate's security plan "was regularly tested and appeared to work as planned" and said he hoped the Sept. 11 attack does not lead U.S. officials to overreact, the Times reported.
Republicans accused the State Department of spinning the record in an effort to emphasize improvements in security in Libya, the Post said.
The ranking Democrat on the committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, accused House Republicans of cutting hundreds of millions of dollars from Obama administration requests for diplomatic security funding. He said some of the funding was restored in the Senate but the final amount fell well short of the White House's request.
In an appearance Wednesday on CNN, committee member Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, acknowledged he voted to cut funding for embassy security but called the issue a "red herring."
The State Department knew two months before the fatal attack the danger threat was high, a department memo released Tuesday by House Republicans indicated.
"The risk of U.S. Mission personnel, private U.S. citizens and businesspersons encountering an isolating event as a result of militia or political violence is HIGH," a State Department security assessment dated July 22 said.
An isolating incident is jargon for a security threat.
The State Department withdrew U.S. security staff from Libya in the weeks before suspected Islamist extremists killed Stevens.
Nordstrom wrote in an Oct. 1 email released by a congressional committee, "The government of Libya does not yet have the ability to effectively respond to and manage the rising criminal and militia violence, which could result in an isolating event."
Nordstrom's email added the Libyan government "was overwhelmed and could not guarantee our protection."
The email and State Department security assessment were two of 230 alleged security threats between June 2011 and July 2012 Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., made public ahead of the hearing.
Wood told CBS News Monday he and Stevens feared for the diplomatic corps' safety several months before the Benghazi attack.
But he said they were rebuffed by the Defense and State departments when he and Stevens requested tighter security.
"The requests were being modified to say, 'Don't even request for DoD support,'" Woods told the network, referring to the Department of Defense.
"There was a clear disconnect between what security officials on the ground felt they needed and what officials in Washington would approve," Issa said Tuesday.
"Reports that senior State Department officials told security personnel in Libya to not even make certain security requests are especially troubling," Issa said.

Last week I wrote about Senator Sanders' "compromise" with Senator Dodd and the White House on auditing the Federal Reserve. To re-cap, the compromise would drop any auditing of monetary policy and simply focus on the Fed's emergency lending facilities. See my previous post for why I believe that compromise is a big win for the Fed and a loss for the American public.
The good news is that Senator Sanders' compromise does not end the debate. Senator Vitter has filed an amendment (#3760) that mirrors the original Sanders' amendment, including an audit of monetary policy. With any luck, other Senators will be able to decide for themselves whether the Sanders-Dodd compromise offers sufficient transparency of the Fed's actions.
I also highly suggest reading Arnold Kling's recent Cato briefing paper on the issue, "The Case for Auditing the Fed Is Obvious."

American Consumers are Confused About Diet and Health
Study shows Americans' believe 'figuring out their taxes is simpler than improving diet and health.'
Uncle Sam will be happy to hear that more than half of Americans believe it is easier to figure out their income taxes than to figure out what they should and shouldn't eat to be healthier, according to the 2012 Food and Health Survey: Consumer Attitudes toward Food Safety, Nutrition & Health.
Commissioned by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation (www.foodinsight.org), this web-based survey of 1,057 Americans ages 18 to 80 was fielded in April and is the seventh annual national IFIC study designed to gain consumer insights on food safety, nutrition, and health-related topics.
Nearly all respondents give at least a little thought to the healthfulness of their diet (and are trying to improve at least one of their eating habits), physical activity and the safety of their food. But media reports are constantly highlighting concern over the "obesity epidemic," and seemingly contradictory news stories tout and condemn various nutrients. So many consumers acknowledge it can be hard to know what to believe about ever-changing nutrition information.
Only 71 percent would even hazard a guess at the number of calories they need to maintain their weight, and two-thirds of them estimated incorrectly. Only 15 percent accurately estimated. Some 52 percent are unable to estimate how many calories they burn in a day (19 percent say 1,000 calories or less), and only 30 percent correctly believe that all sources of calories play an equal role in weight gain.
Twenty percent believe calories from sugars are most likely to cause weight gain (a significant increase from 11 percent in 2011) while 19 percent believe that calories from carbohydrates are most likely to cause weight gain, and 18 percent believe the culprit is calories from fats.
Most-often used packaging information includes the expiration date (76 percent) and the Nutrition Facts panel (66 percent) -- both consistently have been at the top of information consumers seek from food packages. This year, the expiration date jumped significantly from 2011 (63 percent) to overtake the Nutrition Facts panel. Half of consumers look at the ingredients list, the serving size and amount per container plus calorie or nutrition information icons displayed on the front of the package.
Over the past 12 months, 51 percent say they tried to limit or avoid sugars. While 44 percent are trying to limit or avoid high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a similar number (45 percent) say they don't pay attention to HFCS. And most do not pay attention to complex (60 percent) or refined (62 percent) carbohydrates when making packaged food or beverage decisions.
When deciding what packaged foods or beverages to buy, 71 percent consider calories, 67 percent choose whole grains, 62 percent look for fiber, followed by sugars in general (60 percent), sodium/salt (60 percent) and fats/oils (60 percent).
Whom do they trust? Seventy-six percent feel that changes in nutritional guidance make it hard to know what to believe. When asked how they determine whether to believe new information about food and health, respondents say they follow up and do their own research before they believe it (26 percent), judge information based on the source and if it is from an organization they trust (24 percent) or simply use their own judgment and will not believe it if it seems too good to be true (14 percent).
More than 85 percent admit to giving some thought to the safety of their foods and beverages over the past year, and 78 percent are very or somewhat confident in the safety of the U.S. food supply. Only 17 percent report they have stopped buying a specific brand or type of food due to safety concerns. However, things that do have an impact on their purchasing decisions include bacteria (51 percent), "chemicals" in food (51 percent), imported food (49 percent), pesticides (47 percent), animal antibiotics (30 percent) and undeclared allergens (25 percent).
Americans think the person who prepares most of the food in their home does the best job of ensuring the safety of their food (94 percent), 82 percent say farmers/producers are doing a good job or better and 73 percent cite retailers. But don't get too comfortable, as food manufacturers (65 percent), foodservice establishments (64 percent) and the government (56 percent) rank lower. All entities charged with ensuring the safety of the U.S. food supply are viewed as doing at least a good job.
Similar to past years, taste (87 percent) and price (73 percent) continue to drive food and beverage choices more than healthfulness (61 percent), convenience (53 percent) or sustainability (35 percent). While respondents acknowledge they are trying to improve the healthfulness of their diet, 54 percent say they would rather just enjoy their food than worry too much about what's in it.
Key findings of the 2012 Food and Health Survey include:
Overall Health Status: Nine out of 10 respondents describe their health as good or better, a significant increase from previous years. The majority (60 percent) says their health is either excellent or very good, and only nine percent report that they are in fair or poor health. Despite their belief that they are in good health, many recognize there is room to improve their diet, with only about a quarter reporting that their diet is either extremely or very healthful and about 21 percent reporting their diet is not at all or not too healthful. Nearly all say they are trying to improve at least one aspect of their eating habits, and 87 percent try to eat more fruits and vegetables.
Weight Management: More than half (55 percent) say they are trying to lose weight, significantly up from 43 percent in 2011; however, the number does seem to return to historical norms (54 percent in 2010, 53 percent in 2009, 57 percent in 2008 and 56 percent in 2007). While 22 percent are trying to maintain their weight, only 20 percent report they are not doing anything regarding their weight. These numbers have remained fairly consistent for the past few years of the Survey.

What: "Language of the Forest," featuring monoprints by Linda Everson
When: Through June 28
Where: Muse Gallery, 356 Main St., Longmont
Tickets: Free
Info: artslongmont.org
The bark of the aspen tree, it turns out, works pretty well as a canvas.
Shepherds in the West made carvings in aspen trees, and they're still to be found in Colorado, California and other states. The carvings are called "arborglyphs."
That's also what artist Linda Everson calls a series of prints that are on display at Muse Gallery in Longmont. The prints are mostly derived from natural patterns in aspen bark, but some are based actual arborglyphs.
The fissures in aspen bark —- the ragged-edged jutting lines — are the focus of the series. Everson zooms in on the forms the lines create and extracts them for her own use. In the prints, they become cracks in a picture space that she fills in with textured areas of red, yellow, orange, blue and other colors. Many of the images resemble a heat-sensitive satellite photo of the earth, as if the dark fissures were waterways cutting through the land.
Everson's solo show, called "Language of the Forest," is on view through June 28 at Muse Gallery, 356 Main St. in Longmont.
Everson's process begins with photographs she takes in the field. She works with these pictures in Photoshop to make transparencies, which she uses to expose metal solarplates. The final images are printed from the solarplates and acetate plates, which provide the background color. She makes monoprints — each is one of a kind, though she often reuses this or that plate in other works in other ways.
Everson's home studio in Englewood gives a sense of the complexity of her printing process. Her work station includes a large printing machine, a table arrayed with ink rollers, another table where the printing takes place and a back room where she makes UV exposures. The process can be time-consuming. Sometimes she gives a layer of ink a couple of days to dry before adding more.
A glyph conveys nonverbal information. It's up to each viewer to interpret what Everson is saying.
Meanwhile, Muse displays work by its resident artists in another part of the gallery, and its current offerings include several sculptures by Scott Mohr. Mohr, who works at Rocky Mountain Bronze Shop in Loveland and has a bronze relief on permanent display at the Loveland Museum/Gallery, infuses the hard material of his medium with humanity.
In "Through the Veil," he carves a suspended figure into alabaster. The figure is defined mainly by shadows that fall in the depression of the carving, which makes the figure look like a ghost haunting the stone.
Another Mohr sculpture, "Duprass," is a hunk of bronze out of which two people emerge in an embrace. Being bound in metal, they are permanently bound.
A duprass in the religion that Kurt Vonnegut invented for his novel "Cat's Cradle" is a cosmic connection between two people. Partners in a duprass die within a week of each other.
Muse's members show also includes glass work by Longmont artist Angelo Ambrosia. Stunning colors and patterns decorate his vessels and plates. They have the beauty and sparkle of coral reef in the Caribbean.

Inspiration: More Wall Space in a Small Space
Using a bookshelf as a room divider in a studio apartment or other small space serves dual purposes: it adds much-needed storage, of course, and it also provides added wall space for hanging artwork or photos, displaying collections, and so on.
Living in a small space of course means having to pare down your belongings, but sometimes this can be difficult when it comes to artwork and photos. And of course we're not discouraging the practice of paring down, even when it comes to art, but adding a freestanding bookshelf that juts out into a room is rather like building an extra wall with more space to display the artwork you love.
Choosing a bookcase with a back provides a solid plane on which to create a new display. But an open bookshelf like the Ikea Expedit also can function this way: hang artwork on both sides of one of the Expedit "cubes," or use the shelf to display collections which would otherwise be packed away (taking up valuable storage space!).
The idea of creating a large barrier in a small room might seem counterintuitive at first, but if you use it to your advantage—establishing a workspace behind it, for example, or using it to divide your sleeping area from your living room—it will eventually feel like a permanent fixture.
Have you tried this small space solution? We'd love to hear your results!

Pull Up a Chair to the Chef's Table
The angle: Recipes for the best staff meals from the best restaurants around the world, from Chez Panisse to Noma.
Recipes for right now: Emmer Wheat Foccacia, Carolina BBQ Pork, Summer Vegetable Soup with Pesto, Flour Dumplings with Cucumbers and Cream, Spaghetti with Mussels, Chocolate Ripple Cake
Who would enjoy this book? Restaurant-loving foodies, photography buffs with a love of food.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Per-Anders Jorgensen
• Who published it: Phaidon
• Other highlights: Staff meals were once a thing to be scarfed before service, often consisting of scraps and who-knows-what, but they've started to symbolize something different in recent years: a moment of calm and community before the craziness of service kicks in. The meals are still (theoretically!) simple and fairly budget-friendly, and they're always served family-style. Eating with the Chefs offers a glimpse into this moment: beautiful photographs of chefs at leisure and recipes for some of their favorite staff meals.
This cookbook could happily live on your coffee table to fuel dinner party conversations and your own moments of quiet, but I have a feeling that it could easily slip into the kitchen. While many of us might not attempt recreating the actual dishes served to diners at the French Laundry and wd50, staff meals offer a slightly more homecook-friendly riff on the flavors and characters of these fine dining restaurants.
Find the book at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon: Eating with the Chefs by Per-Anders Jorgensen

Throughout the Gospels, the word "immediate" is used several times to describe when people decide to follow Jesus or do what he tells them.
For example, when Jesus calls Peter and Andrew, it says in Matthew 4:20: "Immediately they left their nets and followed him."
St. Thérèse of Lisieux was like that.
She discovered her primary vocation at an early age. At 14, she was told she was too young to enter the Carmelite convent.
Undeterred and confident in her vocation, however, Thérèse petitioned first her bishop and then Pope Leo XIII. Through her insistence, her request was granted, and she entered the convent on April 9, 1888, at the age of 15.
As a Carmelite nun, Thérèse did struggle with her vocation, as she had many desires to serve the Lord in ways that were unavailable to her: priesthood, martyrdom and missionary work, to name a few.
But through fervent prayer, she discovered her calling: love. She found her place at the foot of Jesus, as his little child. Thérèse realized that she was not meant for great things, so she did little things with great love.
Before she died of tuberculosis at the young age of 24, she found Christ in everything and everyone and served Christ in everything and everyone. This became known as "the little way."
St. Bernadette was not particularly clever or witty. In fact, some thought she was too dull to learn. By age 14, she still had not received her first holy Communion. When Our Lady, who appeared to her in a small grotto 18 times near Lourdes, France, told Bernadette, "I am the Immaculate Conception," she did not even know what it meant. But, more importantly, Bernadette was faithful.
She worked hard to help her poor family, despite bad health. She did everything the Blessed Virgin Mary asked of her without question.
She never wavered in recounting the apparitions despite persecution. When she later entered the convent of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Nevers, she endured harsh treatment, particularly from the novice-mistress. Bernadette accepted it and performed menial tasks cheerfully and humbly.
During her time at the convent, Bernadette also suffered from tuberculosis, a chronic illness that caused her a great amount of pain. Our Lady had told Bernadette that she would not be happy in this life, but only in the next. Bernadette thus embraced trials and suffering as her vocation. Once, in reply to a superior demanding to know why she was lying down, Bernadette replied through the pain: "I am doing my stint. I must be a victim."
Through all the sickness he endured, the miracles that surrounded him, the fame he achieved and the suffering he bore, Padre Pio was unwavering in his dedication to Christ and to his vocation.
Despite being severely ill as a child, at age 15, Padre Pio entered the friary of the Capuchin monks. During his seminary formation, he was frequently so ill he had to leave the Capuchin community and return home for months, unable to eat solid foods and suffering from exhaustion and migraines.
Just a year after his ordination, in 1911, Padre Pio first complained about the physical signs of the stigmata — the wounds of Christ. Also in his early years, fellow monks would often hear a ruckus that lasted hours in Padre Pio's room. Padre Pio admitted to being physically attacked and mentally tormented routinely by the devil.
As word of his stigmata spread, as well as the other miracles associated with him — reading souls, knowing the sins of those whose confessions he was hearing, the ability to bilocate — the Vatican was forced to respond, investigating him twice and denying that the miracles around him had anything to do with divinity. At times, he was banned from celebrating Mass publicly, hearing confessions or writing letters to the outside world. All the while, Padre Pio continued his unwavering obedience to the Holy See.
Before Padre Pio's death in 1968, Pope Paul VI showed his full support of the Capuchin monk. In 1982, the cause for his sainthood began, and in 2002, he was canonized by Pope John Paul II.
St. Maximilian said "yes" to God in the most dramatic way possible — with his life.
At 13 years old, he entered the Franciscan friary in 1907 and professed his final vows in 1914.
After witnessing demonstrations against the pope, St. Maximilian was inspired to organize the Militia Immaculata (Army of Mary), which strived to convert the masses and fight against the Church's enemies.
At the onset of World War II, St. Maximilian hid as many as 2,000 Jews in his friary in Poland. He was arrested in 1941 and was transferred to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. After three were found missing from the camp, the remaining prisoners were lined up and 10 were chosen to be starved to death. One of the prisoners picked to die, Franciszek Gajowniczek, protested, crying out "My wife! My children!" Kolbe stepped out of line, volunteering to take his place.
Each day while being starved in his cell, St. Maximilian remained faithful, celebrating Mass and singing hymns. After two weeks without food or water, out of the 10 who were taken to die, only Kolbe was still alive. Out of impatience, he was given a lethal injection of carbolic acid.
St. Maximilian was canonized as a martyr of the Faith by Pope John Paul II in 1982. Franciszek Gajowniczek, the man whose life he saved, was in attendance.

Middle School
Where is Phil? Coordinate Game
Before play begins, have two students sit across from each other with a barrier placed between them.
Have the students place a brown dot, representing Phil, anywhere on the coordinate grid. Then have students place ten black dots on the coordinate grid to represent ten members of the Inner Circle.
Students should take turns asking each other if there is a point plotted at a specific ordered pair. If the students correctly ask choose an occupied ordered pair, they receive 2 points for a black dot and 5 points for a brown dot.
The winner is the first student to reach 10 points. To provide a differentiated activity, students could use graph paper showing all four quadrants, with both positive and negative coordinates

Jay-Z references Cuba trip in song
Jay-Z is defending his recent trip to Cuba in a new song.
He released Open Letter after two Florida Republican lawmakers questioned if his visit to Havana with wife Beyonce was officially licensed.
On the song, Jay-Z raps about his distaste for politicians and says: "Want to give me jail time and a fine, let me commit a real crime."
US Treasury officials said earlier this week that the couple's trip was licensed as an educational exchange.
Jay-Z and Beyonce are avid supporters of President Barack Obama. Jay-Z raps in his song: "Obama said, 'Chill, you gon' get me impeached, you don't need this (expletive) anyway, chill with me on the beach'."
US citizens are not allowed to travel to Cuba for mere tourism, though they can obtain licenses for academic, religious, journalistic or cultural exchange trips.
