Encouraging Energy Efficiency: A Tax Fix Everyone Can Get Behind
Technical Policy Director
U.S. Green Building Council
Pretend you are a small business owner. You happen to own the building where your business is housed, which has helped you weather the recession. Things seem to be getting better, and you have the opportunity to make some investments in your company that could really pay off in the long run.
You'd like to figure out how to cut your operating expenses, especially utilities, which have gone up and up and up over the last 10 years. You know your building is pretty old and leaky, and that much of that energy you buy is wasted. You've heard the President talk about efficiency retrofits and think that might be a smart investment that will cut your energy bills and pay for itself.
But there is a problem. If you invest in your own building energy efficiency, you will have to pay federal taxes on the value of the investment. If you were to keep wasting energy, all that wasted money would be completely deductible from your taxes.
That's right; in effect our tax code unintentionally subsidizes wasted energy. Despite the economic benefits (not to mention the domestic job creation and the environmental benefits), investments to create energy efficient, better buildings do not receive the same treatment under the tax code as wasted energy.
That's why USGBC is working with a diverse coalition of industry and environmental organizations, like the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Real Estate Roundtable, to change that. It's our highest priority to convince Congress that energy efficiency is at least as valuable to the nation's prosperity as wasted energy.
We've proposed changes to fix Section 179D of the tax code, and existing policy designed to encourage energy efficient new construction to make it usable for existing buildings. You can read more about those changes here.
The positive impact of this tax code tweak would be immense – 77,000 new jobs and immense savings on energy bills where we live and work. Those are benefits that will be felt not only by those who do the work, but also by everyone who works in an office, stays in a hotel, shops at a mall, or lives in an apartment.
But what will be the cost to the treasury? Not much if anything for one major reason – all those investments we want to encourage will drastically decrease the total amount of money spent on energy at businesses across the country, thereby lowering the total expenses deducted from their taxes for years to come. Instead of deducting wasted energy, they will reap energy savings and reinvest that money in much more productive ways.
This is one tax fix that nearly everyone can get behind. We plan to advocate tirelessly for these changes on behalf of our members, many of whom own the buildings, make the more efficient products, and will design and engineer the retrofits. Stay tuned for opportunities to get involved.

This effort is very important. Incentives speak volumes. If the current incentive of wasted energy tax deductions outweighs savings through retrofitting - something's broken. The current "tweak" appears to be a win-win situation.ReplyDelete

Much is at stake when policy makers, regulators, and corporate executives face the challenges of evolving energy markets and efficiency.
I can help you meet that challenge!
"It is Cheaper to Save Energy than Make Energy"
To subsidize green building investment in a long term through a tax tool is a good idea. But how to quantify the actual amount of tax credit according to different situations would be a problem. Additionally, if the investment in green building is high, the additional investment might be regarded as finite-live assets, which could be depreciated in the operating period. This is also a kind of tax deductible item. So how to judge the double tax benefits in green building, if above proposal is approved. Therefore from my opinion, the idea is good and could become an incentive to the green building investment, however in practice, we still need to consider and balance some different issues. I also agree in the green building world, government should to take more responsibility than private sectors. The problem is that which way is the better way for government to intervene.ReplyDelete
An important distinction is pointed out by GBlearner, and this is an issue we have worked to address. There are two quantities to track under the structure we are proposing: the amount of energy saved and the total cost of the retrofit. We are suggesting you qualify for a deduction based on the amount of energy you save, limited by the amount of money you spend (most tax policies determine incentive amount solely on what is spent). Part of the total amount spent on the retrofit may itself be deductible as a business expense (just like wasted energy) and not depreciable, but the energy savings it leads too may help increase the total deduction qualified for under our proposed 179D. We target energy savings, not spending, as is the status quo for deductions. In practice, the full cost of a retrofit will not be fully deductible in our proposal, only a portion of it depending on the energy saved, so there will not be double counting of deductions and because we work this into the the structure we do not need to ask businesses to produce a tedious and complicated paper trail to confirm that this is so.ReplyDelete

People should be more conscious about energy efficiency. We've done enough damage to our environment that its time to start preserving it and acting smarter. We have the ability, resources, and understanding to use wind energy, build energy star houses , and recycle so why do we not. It would be a nice change for people to get aid being energy efficient rather than a break to waste it.ReplyDelete
Hi! nice post. Well what can I say is that these is an interesting and very informative topic. Thanks for sharing.Cheers!ReplyDelete

Freida Pinto: Eurostar Station Stop
Freida Pinto chats on her cell phone after getting off the Eurostar on Wednesday (December 7) in London, England.
The 27-year-old actress rode the train from Paris, where she attended Chanel's Paris-Bombay Show at the Grand Palais.
Freida recently raved about her Immortals director Tarsem Singh, specifically how he helped the cast get into character.
"One really amazing thing about Tarsem is that especially in this film, if [a character] was hanging on a cliff, there was really a cliff. Maybe it wasn't as big as what you'll see in the film, but there was a cliff for us to stand on and feel the sheer massiveness of the set," she told the Wall Street Journal.
"I guess in that sense he's a very mindful director," she added, "because he wanted us to live in those sets rather than have us come in and then see it in post."
FYI: Freida is wearing Roger Vivier ballerines.

Tuesday on CNN's "The Situation Room," host Wolf Blitzer asked Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the Israeli Defense Forces spokesman if Hamas stopped their aggressions if further military action could be avoided.
"We are beyond that point now. Hamas are going to pay for the attacks they are carrying out. we refuse to be held hostage by this terrorist organization that thinks they can launch rockets at Jerusalem, just here in Jerusalem and the that can paralyze our cities. It just unacceptable. We will deplete their rocket capabilities. They will be paralyzed. That's what we are out to do."
Hamas, the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip, has taken responsibility for the a massive rocket attack aimed at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem Tuesday afternoon. Late Tuesday night sirens sounded thought Israel as the heavy barrage of rockets launched into the night sky.

Oil bounced back Wednesday as a weaker dollar, strong corporate earnings and rising stock prices brought buyers back, a day after China's surprise interest rate hike caused a sharp drop in prices.
Benchmark crude for November delivery rose $2.28 to settle at $81.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That contract expired Wednesday and trading moved to the December contract, where oil climbed by $1.38 to settle at $82.54 a barrel.
Meanwhile, retail gasoline prices continued to climb, with the national average at $2.831 for a gallon of regular, according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. It's up 10.5 cents from a month ago and 25.4 cents from a year ago.
For weeks traders have dismissed the fact that oil and gasoline supplies remain plentiful, focusing instead on the movement of the dollar and stock markets as they buy and sell oil for future delivery.
The dollar fell against other currencies Wednesday. Since oil is priced in dollars, a weaker dollar means traders who buy with foreign currencies can get more for their money.
At the same time, stocks rose on strong earnings reports from airlines and manufacturers, including Delta and Boeing Co. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up over 129 points. The broader Standard and Poor's 500 index and the Nasdaq composite closed higher as well.
The Energy department said commercial crude inventories rose less than analysts expected, adding 700,000 barrels to 361.2 million barrels. Gasoline inventories grew by 1.2 million barrels to 219.3 million barrels. Distillates, which include heating oil and diesel, fell 2.2 million barrels to 170.1 million barrels.
Platts Senior Oil Analyst Linda Rafield said crude stocks rose as oil imports increased on the East and West Coast. She also noted that oil demand fell. The four-week average was 89,000 barrels per day below the same week last year.
The government's report was overshadowed by what traders see in stocks and currencies, energy analyst Jim Ritterbusch said.
"The fundamentals have been bearish for a long time throughout this entire year and they're simply not going to determine whether we go up or down here by a few dollars," he said. "If the stock market's going up, it's conjuring up images of a better economy going forward and that spells better oil demand."
Many traders are waiting to see if the Federal Reserve will take up new stimulus measures next month to help boost the economy. If the Fed decides to put more money into the economy, such as by purchasing Treasury bonds, it could push the dollar lower and oil prices higher.
Ritterbusch said he expects oil prices to remain choppy until traders get a better idea of what the Fed will decide.
In other Nymex trading in November contracts, heating oil rose 6.55 cents to settle at $2.2548 a gallon, gasoline gained 3.43 cents to settle at $2.0826 a gallon and natural gas added 2.6 cents to settle at $3.539 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude rose $2.50 to settle at $83.60 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Council Reacts to Pepco's Request
Seven members of the Montgomery County Council today issued a statement in response to Pepco's request for a rate increase. Council President Roger Berliner, Vice President Nancy Navarro and Council members Phil Andrews, Marc Elrich, Valerie Ervin, George Leventhal and Hans Riemer endorsed the statement.
The complete text of the statement:
"We oppose Pepco's request for a rate hike. We believe Pepco's financial fortunes should be directly tied to its performance and that performance does not justify an increase in its rate of return. As it is, shareholders have fared a lot better than ratepayers.
"We also do not believe that Pepco should be able to avoid a review of the prudence of its expenditures in return for expediting their reliability work. Rather, we believe that Pepco owes it to this community to expedite its reliability work using the traditional ratemaking process that ensures that Pepco can only recover from ratepayers costs that the Commission finds are just and reasonable. We fully expect that our County will fight this suspect, unwarranted, and unjustified request, and that the Commission will, as it has recently, protect Montgomery County ratepayers that have suffered for far too long."

Sharps Container Market Global Industry Volume By Region 2017 - 2025
Press Release • Aug 03, 2017 06:58 EDT
Biomedical waste disposal and medical waste disposal containers are particularly referred as sharps containers. These are primarily utilized to contain hazardous instruments. A sharps container is generally made of plastic and used to reduce the risk of injury and infections. Most of the infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Several pathogenic microorganisms are also present on human body that can spread directly or indirectly from one person to another. Signs and symptoms of an infectious disease depends upon the microorganism causing the infection. Moreover, common symptoms include fever and fatigue.
Obtain Report Details @
People suffering from life-threatening infections need immediate hospitalization. In case of some of the mild infections, home remedies and full body rest may prove beneficial. Hence, in order to avoid further infections especially in a hospital or other health care facilities, sharps containers must be used on a large scale, including homes. Sharps waste is also known as biomedical waste composed of used "sharps". These include devices used to lacerate the skin or puncture. Biohazardous waste must be handled with utmost care and injury free. Blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV), and HIV can directly spread through infectious agents. During sharps waste handling, professionals may get affected by these blood-borne diseases. Currently, large volumes of sharps waste is handled by professionals. This also increases the chances of sharps injury.
Previously, sharing needles used in hospitals and other medical labs increased chances of AIDS (HIV) and other infectious disease. Hence, it is quite important to use a sharps container to prevent infections. A sharps container is used for sharp medical instruments such as IV catheters, needles, broken glass, syringes, dental anesthetic carpules, and vacutainer tube holder. Sharps containers may be used for a single purpose or reusable. Sharps containers must be sterilized before reuse. These are generally used in hospitals, research centers, labs, and others. Sharps disposal container is available through pharmacies, health care providers, medical supply companies, and online.
The global sharps container market is driven by increasing demand for syringes, saline needles, catheters, and reagents in hospitals and laboratory research. The global sharps container market has been segmented based on product type, end-user, and region. In terms of product type, the global sharps container market has been divided into single-use sharps containers and reusable sharps containers (robotically emptied and sterilized).
Based on end-user, the global sharps container market has been segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, academic research laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, and others. In terms of revenue, the hospitals segment held a significant share of the global sharps container market.
In terms of region, the global sharps container market has been segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is a key market for sharps containers, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. The U.S. accounted for a major share of the global sharps container market in North America in terms of revenue. The global sharps container market in Asia Pacific is expanding rapidly due to increase in number of injuries. The region is projected to be the most attractive market in the near future. The market in Asia Pacific is driven by better economic growth, health care infrastructure, and increasing awareness among the people in emerging economies such as China, Japan, and India.
Key players operating in the global sharps container market include 2001 s.r.l., Medtronic plc, Becton, Dickinson and Company, MarketLab, Inc., Post Medical, Inc., GPC Medical Ltd., Everbest Limited, Allied Seals Europe, Medu-Scientific Ltd., Henry Schein, Inc., and Dailymag Magnetic Technology (Ningbo) Limited.

Headphones I've tried include the following with my totally subjective sound rating on 10 point scale. YMMV.
Audio Technica ATH-M50X - highs a little subdued for my liking - 7
Beats Studio 2 Wireless - Subdued highs, some mid bass emphasis but not overpowering. 6
Bose QC25 - A little weak on bass and weak on highs, best ANC. 7
Bose QC35 - Can be a little bassy, especially at low volume. Bright highs. Best ANC. 9
JBL - EVEREST 700 - Way too bassy. 5.
JBL - Everest Elite 700 - Much better than non-Elite, 7
OPPO PM-3 - Excellent, expensive. 10
Sennheiser 202 - yuck. Too bassy, no highs, but cheap. 4
Sennheiser 280 - well balanced. 8
Sennheiser Momentum M2 - Close to perfection. 9.5
Sennheiser PXC-550 - wireless noise cancelling. These are excellent. 9
Sony - MDRXB950BT/B - Extra bass says it all. 4
Sony 7506 - Perfection 10
Out of all that I've tried the Sony 7506 are closest to perfection, to live performance. They are not bass heavy at all but can produce comfortable solid bass down to quite low frequencies. Tonal balance leans towards the upper mids and highs. Bright but not harsh. You end up hearing subtle sounds in the music that is missing with other headphones. Those who want more bass or don't want bright highs won't like these. But for my listening taste this matches perfectly.
They are also very comfortable. Many of the headphones listed above are not as comfortable. Either tight band or thin band or ear cups that aren't big or deep enough. These headphones are great. Biggest disadvantage vs. many that I've tried recently is that these are wired... with a long heavy cord easy to get caught on things. I was looking for a wireless headphone. But ultimately I couldn't find one at a reasonable price that sounded anywhere near as good as these. Next closest was the Sennheiser PXC-550, but at $400, wireless wasn't worth an extra $320. I also found that there were times I didn't want noise cancellation. Too bad Sony doesn't make a wireless headphone with anywhere near this sound.
Best of all, these are by far the cheapest of the decent sounding headphones I've listened to. The headphones in this list range in prices from $20 to $450.
Highly recommend the Sony 7506... if you like this sort of sound signature.
The overall design of the headphones is fairly good. They are structurally well designed for the most part.
- Noise isolation is mediocre. You can hear people saying things through these depending on the volume.
- Sound leakage on the original pads is fairly low. People won't have to hear your music when it is at a fairly loud volume.
- Extremely long, coiled cable with 1/4-inch adapter. Possibly gold connections.
- Sturdy cable design. Each cable bend point is reinforced with additional rubber. Soldering to the driver seems sturdy as well, it should be able to withstand most tugs. This is usually not an issue with the gargantuan coiled cable. The coiled cable also prevents a large number of tangles!
- The headband is fairly comfortable. You could easily find a cover for it if it becomes a problem.
- Cup adjustment pieces have numbers on them to ensure a specific setting.
The problems I've had with these over time:
- Headband will lose its tension between your ears over time. These headphones no longer fit as soundly on my head as they used to.
- Faux leather pads will need to be replaced. I have included a picture of both of my ripped pads which I replaced with "Beyerdynamic EDT250V Headphone Ear Pads Black" these will create some additional noise leakage.
- The wire that connects the drivers to the headband can get stuck in the housing. (see picture) This may wear the wire a bit.
- Cable is extremely long. This can be an issue when you want to use these headphones outside of their intended purpose. The cable is generally a bit heavy, causing strain to the connections. I very often have to move it around to have it stop bothering me. The cable can be replaced with some soldering. There have been projects modifying the headphones to have a detachable cable. Google "Sony MDR-7506 Detachable Cable Mod" that I believe would improve the design of the headphones.
- Like all over the ear headphones, these will be uncomfortable with glasses. They do become very uncomfortable after a few hours.
- While these do come with a transport bag, even the fold up design makes them a bit of a pain to transport. This is to be expected.
- Fold up design doesn't center the cups when the length of each ear cup is at minimum. (See picture) Not sure what this does to the longevity of the headband.
- The blue portion of the "Professional" stickers on the sides are decals. One of mine peeled off. It looks similar, but is starting to disappear, and collects dust. (see picture)
Aside from a few gripes, these are still my favorite set of headphones. They simply sound right. I was appalled to go to the store and listen to some Bose headphones and hear how bad the quality was in comparison: for a set of $300 headphones.
These are undoubtedly worth the price. Don't hesitate to buy them if you can overlook the problems i have had.

I'm such a light sleeper, I need "white-noise" to get a good night's rest. That's why I've slept with a box fan at my side of the bed for years.
As I meditated on today's focus - Jesus Christ - I wondered how often His Name becomes white-noise in my spiritual ears. I hear His Name so often, my subconscious mind sometimes reduces it to just another word in my vocabulary, like "the" or "and."
The early Church recognized something extraordinary about that Name which many of us may have forgotten, or perhaps never learned: There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4); prayers find their answer in that Name (John 14); the sick find healing through that Name (James 5); demons tremble at the sound of that Name (James 2); at his Name every knee will bow and every tongue confess He is Lord (Philippians 2).
The New Testament uses dozens of synonyms to describe Him: Lamb of God, Son of God, Anointed One, Shepherd, Bread of Life, Alpha and Omega, King, Savior, Messiah, Prince of Peace . . . And that Name has inspired men and women for two thousand years to live - and if necessary, die - for love of His Name.
So, why do people use the holy Name of Jesus as the punch line of a joke, or to voice surprise or anger, or to use as a swear word?
I have a theory: Satan understands there is eternal life in no other than Jesus. He knows forgiveness of sin is available through no other than Jesus. There is deliverance from his infernal grasp through no other than Jesus.
If the devil can delude people to believe Jesus Christ is the stuff of jokes and swear words, they won't be so quick to believe He is Son of God, Lamb of God, Great Shepherd, and Light from Light.
When we say Jesus' name in the Creed, and in reverential conversation, we join our hearts with all those in that great Communion of Saints. And we, too, have the same privilege as they: to fall to our knees in homage to Him whose Name is above every name.

The Enumclaw High Hornet boys are aiming for big season with a strong group of returning players.
The team welcomes back eight of 10 from last season's varsity group, which posted a 7-15 overall record while going 1-1 in postseason play.
All-league performer Tony Chynoweth is back on the court after leading the South Puget Sound League 3A in scoring a season ago with 19.5 points per game. He averaged 17.2 overall with five rebound and two assists per contest.
Chynoweth is a returning captain and coach Kellen Hall expect a high-flying season from him.
Perry Rockwood will be holding down the point. He was an honorable mention all-league player last season. Hall wrote in an email Rockwood averaged 12.2 points and 4.3 assists per league outing.
Junior Drake Rademacher should be an anchor for the Hornets both in the post and shooting from outside. He averaged eight points and five rebounds last year in league and eight points and six rebounds overall.
During the offseason Rademacher played Amateur Athletic Union basketball.
"We expect him to be more consistent this season, as well as be one of the top players in the league," Hall said.
This teams looks ready to break out and challenge for the top spot in the league.
Enumclaw hosts White River at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The Enumclaw High girls basketball team is back on the court with a large group of seniors looking to post big numbers in the win column.
Last season the girls went 14-6 and made the postseason, losing in overtime by one point in district play. The experience should prove valuable in upcoming games.
Coach Beth Madill said all five starters from last year's team are back, "and (we) are anticipating and hoping for a great season."
Among the many girls to watch are Katie Holland, a first-team all-league selection as a junior; Hannah Calvert, a second-team all-league pick as a junior; and Calli Remitz, who garnered honorable mention honors.
"These girls play so well together and that is what will make us a successful team," Madill said. "We have multiple players that can step up on any given night. The balance and chemistry between this group of girls is our strength going into this season."
Enumclaw travels to White River for a 7 p.m. game today, Wednesday.
The EHS girls wrestling team features three returnees who placed in the Class 3A state tournament last year.
The Hornets tied for 11th in state and won the state academic team championship in 2011/12.
The three returning stars are Danielle Cormier, who finished seventh in state; Jade Paterson, fifth in state; and KC Moulden. whose only loss last year was to the state champion Laura Charboneau.
Moulden's career record is 23-3 while Paterson is a three-time state medalist who was fourth in 2009 and fifth the past two seasons.
Other returning Hornets include Kristen Green, 118 or 124 pounds, Chantal Capps at 235 and Raquel Cormier at 137 or 145.
New wrestlers include Jaelyn Hobert at 118 and Ally Smith at 155.

Sophia Thomalla is a German television actress. She is best known for her role on the series, "Mountain Medic."
Sophia Thomalla was born in East Berlin, Germany on October 6, 1989. She is the daughter of two famous actors as well: Simone Thomalla and Andre Vetters. However, the two separated when Sophia was seven, and she then moved with her mother to Cologne, Germany. In the fourth grade, her and her mother again moved, this time to Kleinmachnow, which is a suburb of Berlin. The two moved one final time a year later to Gelsenkirchen.
As a child, Sophia was interested in more than just acting, although it was her primary focus. As a child, she actually competed in amateur kickboxing before finally settling into drama school in Bochum from 2007 to 2009. Around the same time, she was acting on her first TV series in the recurring role as Livia on Commissario Laurenti, a role she had discovered through a friend. Since then her acting career has continued to take shape in Germany, having starred in numerous TV series and TV movies since.
Along with acting, Sophia has competed on several reality TV series as well. She first attended an open casting for "Germany's Next Top Model" in 2009, but unfortunately didn't make it to the second round. She then tried her luck on a series called "Let's Dance," which yielded much better results. Her, along with her partner, Massimo Sinato, took the title of Dancing Star 2010 that year. Sophia was also voted FHM's third sexiest woman in 2010, as well as appeared in the May 2012 issue of German Playboy, which her mother had appeared in years before.

Go home Net-A-Porter, you're drunk
L-A: Sometimes I get why fashion is so effing expensive. A crystal embellished lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana for $11,000? Sure it's steep and almost as much as my new-to-me car, but shit takes a lot of time and skilled work. I mean, the details include "20% glass". That's a pretty big percentage of your dress to be make of something breakable. So okay, $11k. Fine. Whatever. But then I see this in my inbox from Net-A-Porter and I damn near do a spit take on my computer:
Oh sure, it's "crafted from soft suede with red and black embroidery" and that "this leather-trimmed design features a detachable shoulder strap for versatility". And I totally get that it would "put a playful spin on fall outfits", but seriously. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
No really. We're serious? And we're calling it limited edition and charging $595 for it? You do realize that's $5 less than $600? For a suede pumpkin?
Because while I understand that the "95" or "99" at the end of the price makes it seem less psychologically, is someone really going to balk and say, "whoa! whoa! hold up! $600 is just too much for a purse I can only use for one Halloween party, because god help me if I'm seen with the same pumpkin clutch two years in a row. If only this were five dollars less, I'd totally purchase it."
And some poor model had to keep a straight face for this:
Well done, kid. But now that we've seen it in situ with a Miu Miu top and Chloé bracelet, it makes all the difference now, doesn't it? I can just see this being the hit of the fancy club party that Muffy VanWinkleburn-Jones attends. All the ladies will be like, "why Muffs! That's is the most charming clutch! Wherever did you get it?" And Muffy will smile and tell them it's limited edition and "just not available anymore, darlings." And then next year she'll give it to the housekeeper, who will look at it and say, "what in the name of god is this bullshit?" before giving it to her five year old to take trick-or-treating. I assume this is the circle of life for ridiculous purses.
For those of you who just can't swing $595 this Halloween, I've got you covered. Here's a little DIY solution:
You can either pick up everything you need from Michael's, including the hot glue gun, or you can shell out for some suede if you know how to sew. Or if you're not crafty, buy the one from Net-A-Porter. Your call. No matter what you choose, you'll be the envy of every five year old girl.
October 16, 2013 1:36 pm
Oh. my. word. That is HILARIOUS!!!! I get that it's made of really expensive materials, but why would anyone over the age of like 8 want to carry it… Seriously. And I don't know about you but I'm not shelling out $600 for a purse for me much less my child… haha. Thanks for offering my treat purse as an inexpensive alternative though… heehee

It's been mentioned a few times in the course of the long GOP presidential primary season, but we wanted to make sure the local and regional origins of a particular line frequently employed by Mitt Romney on immigration policy–that he would not forcibly deport illegal immigrants, but create harsh conditions that would lead to them "self-deporting"–were properly explored.
Courtesy The Daily Beast, here's a prime example of Romney's usage from late January:
Romney's introduction of the concept of "self-deportation" in that debate didn't go over well with the conservative audience, as you can hear from, well, the chuckling. Then-opponent Newt Gingrich lambasted Romney suitably:
"You have to live in a world of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatic $20 million income for no work to have some fantasy this far from reality," Gingrich told Univision interviewer Jorge Ramos. "For Romney to believe that somebody's grandmother is going to be so cut off that she is going to self-deport, I mean this is an Obama-level fantasy."
But we wonder if that audience of rock-ribbed conservative primary voters would have been laughing if they had seen this clip of our own ex-Rep. Tom Tancredo?
This clip of Tom Tancredo–one of the most widely-known (and reviled) proponents of cracking down on illegal immigration in America–explaining that his position on immigration has always been about "self-deportation" comes from a May 3rd, 2011 debate on the issue for Intelligence Squared, a PBS/NPR project. Tancredo's partner in this Oxford-style team debate was none other than Kansas Secretary of State and Arizona SB-1070 co-author Kris Kobach–the Romney advisor who the campaign variously claims, and keeps at arm's length.
Bottom line: at some point this concept of "self-deportation" is going to get repackaged into something more palatable and ostensibly compassionate–a "centrist" way of letting the problem "work itself out." After all, Romney tried this line out on conservatives and got laughed at, right? One way or another, some kind of damage control on the issue is a matter of necessity:
In his pursuit of the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney took an aggressive position on immigration, denouncing the Dream Act, suggesting illegal immigrants should "self-deport" and attacking rivals who appeared to show compassion for some undocumented immigrants.
That has left the presumptive nominee in a deep hole with Hispanic voters, trailing President Obama by more than 40 points among this critically important constituency in [a late April] NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll. The question is whether Romney can credibly undo the damage from the primaries without igniting a renewed debate about his consistency on the issues.
When that happens, a clip of Tancredo advocating for the same thing ought to keep it real.

Cerro Castillo National Reserve
recommendation by fer
Following the Southern Road at Km 59 from Coihaique is reached Cerro Castillo National Reserve, with reforestation in the middle of the pampas. A later kiloemter is the ranger headquarters, with camping area and the Chiguay lagoon. They charge a small entry tear. Open in high season, December to March, from 8.30 to 21 hours, the rest of the year close at 18.30.

The 49ers entered the game ranked second in fewest drives of over five minutes allowed. Already in this game, the Giants have put together drives of eight minutes and six minutes in their first two drives.
The 49ers have not been able to stop Eli Manning, who has completed 12 of 14 passes for 114 yards.
To be fair, the 49ers are making it difficult for the receivers with good coverage, but the Giants are making great catches.

Check out what we've been groovin' on all year...
1. Kirsty MacColl - Tropical Brainstorm (Instinct)
A slice of swinging London that uses the city's fascination with Latin music as a backdrop for Kirsty's irreverent explorations of love gone sour. A sunny and joyous bookend on a career cut tragically short.
2. Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information (Luaka Bop)
The long-awaited resurrection of musical visionary Shuggie Otis and his 1974 masterpiece. A smooth, trippy soul-funk opus revealing an expansive creativity that appeared unlimited.
3. Si Se - Si Se (Luaka Bop)
A bilingual septet specializing in the fusion of chilly electronic beats with a warm, pan-Latino sensibility.
4. Leroy - Leroy (Hollywood)
Electrified kitchen sink funk blending bluesy guitar grit, hot buttered soul and brown sugary melodies.
5. Karl Zero - Songs for Cabriolets... (Naive)
In case the Volkswagen commercials haven't provided you with enough music for your Cabriolet, you can turn to Karl Zero for more quirky and whimsical tunes to get you from here to there.
6. Various Artists - A Break from the Norm (Restless)
Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) takes you on a crate-digging exercise from hip-hop to classic rock with the original versions of the songs that inspired his dance-pop smashes.
7. Action Figure Party - Action Figure Party (Blue Thumb)
Keyboardist Greg Kurstin of Geggy Tah assembles a funked-up rock supergroup including Flea, Buckcherry's Yogi, Miho Hitori of Cibo Matto, and Sean Lennon cuttin' it up on turntables.
8. Afro Celt Sound System - Volume 3: Further in Time (Realworld)
Now a band of 20-some-odd players, the Afro Celts push forward with unbounded energy and focus, organically driven beats, and a thoroughly joyous fusion of West African and Irish traditional music enhanced with dissonant Eastern influence, psychedelic trip-hop groove, and a monster flood of sonic waves. Peter Gabriel and Robert Plant lend helping hands to this.
9. Gorillaz - Gorillaz (Virgin)
As the ultimate experiment in manufactured image, the Gorillaz are a virtual cartoon-character-based hip-hop band who bring together witty, silly lyrics and talented musicians. Infectious old-school hip-hop rhythms, rhymes, and effects courtesy of Kid Koala and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien are combined with Blur's Damon Albarn's passion for chugging lo-fi and edgy melodies.
10. Various Artists - Bombay 2: Electric Vindaloo (Motel)
Hooray for Baliwood! A funky sampling of Indian movie soundtracks cut up and reworked by the likes of Kid Koala, Ursula 1000, Mix Master Mike and others.
11. James Taylor Quartet - Message from the Godfather (Ubiquity)
Organ-heavy funkified soul jazz that places the groove front and center and never lets up. This ain't no "Fire & Rain."
12. Fugu - Fugu 1 (Minty Fresh)
Fuggin' weird pop gems laden with Lurch-like harpsichord and strings… 3-minute & under bursts of pop brilliance.
13. Air - 10,000 Hz Legend (Astralwerks)
French band Air really cooks up a weird one here, swelling with clunky electronic beats and robotic love letters. Special guest appearance by Beck.
14. The Beta Band - Hot Shots II (Astralwerks)
Folktronic hipsters return with layers of cracking vinyl, toy piano effects and the coolest version of Harry Nilsson's "One" that we have ever heard.
15. Ennio Morricone - Morricone RMX (Reprise)
Legendary spaghetti-western composer remixed by an international slate of dubsters and electronica artists.
16. Bebel Gilberto - Tanto Tempo Remixes (6 Degrees)
King Britt, Da Lata and Rae & Christian re-work the warm-weather Brazilian tunes of Bebel.
17. Rufus Wainwright - Poses (Dreamworks)
A suite of songs marvelously varied in arrangement and texture but linked by Wainwright's characteristic theatrical panache.
18. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part (Warner)
Tormented love songs with dark but beautiful instrumentation. Reminds us that Nick Cave is the Frank Sinatra of ex-punks.
19. Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun (Fat Cat)
Hauntingly beautiful soundscapes from Reykjavik-based noise quartet complete with gibberish vocals sung in the falsetto cadence of angels. Iceland's biggest export since Bjork.
20. His Name is Alive - Someday My Blues Will Cover the Earth (4 AD)
Cocteau Twins-influenced art rockers return with a breathtaking collection of blues-influenced soul, jazz, and modern R&B. This beautifully crafted album is essentially a showcase for the sensuous and hypnotic vocals of gospel singer Lovetta Pippen, and the production work of Warn Defever.
21. David Byrne - Look into the Eyeball (Luaka Bop)
Ex-Talking Heads vocalist delivers his finest solo effort yet. World-beats, strings and cynical lyrics complete the package.
22. Bjork - Vespertine (Elektra)
A lush, gorgeous swell of midpace electronica, symphonic strings, and uniquely alien, spectral vocals from everyone's favorite Icelandic princess.
23. Kings of Convenience - Versus (Astralwerks)
Arriving just in time to catch the breeze before the new acoustic movement's bubble bursts, Versus is a collection of alternative versions and remixes of the Kings of Convenience's delightful works. The beats are subtle, the newly integrated keyboards sympathetic, and their isn't a dud on here.
24. Aterciopelados - Gozo Poderoso (BMG)
Colombian duo Aterciopelados (translating to "The Velvety Ones) blend bossa nova rhythms, electronica flourishes and alt-rock riffs in one of the sleeper hits of 2001.
25. DJ Logic - The Anomaly (Ropeadope)
Weaving a sonic spell that's more akin to the funk-jazz of the '70s than the acid jazz of the '90s, turntablist DJ Logic delivers infectious grooves and shimmering, heavily reverbed beatscapes while John Medeski (of Medeski, Martin & Wood) lets the funky Hammond B3 licks fly.
26. Red House Painters - Old Ramon (Sub Pop)
Recorded in '97, Old Ramon languished in the limbo of label fallout, finally to be rescued and released by Sub Pop in '01. The trademark features of a Red House Painters' joint are all here: the songs are long and meandering, the guitars seesaw languidly, the drums plod, dissonant harmonies moan, and Mark Kozelek's olive-oil voice seeps around everything.
27. Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros - Global A Go-Go (Hellcat)
Joe Strummer continues to be the only Clash principal member who remains active. Taking the world and folk influences of "Rock Art and the X-Ray Style" a step further, "Global A Go-Go" is a deep, mature piece of work by a reinvigorated artist who has more in common with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison than the Sex Pistols.
28. Nicola Conte - Bossa per Due (18th St. Lounge)
Brazilian bossa nova beats for the Lexus-driving generation. Hip and beautiful…kinda like Reg and Scott.
29. Various Artists - Ocean's Eleven [Soundtrack] (Warner)
A late entry for 2001, including classics from Perry Como, Quincy Jones, a funked-up Elvis Presley and hip groovy originals from David Holmes on this Rat Pack remake.
30. Suzanne Vega - Songs in Red and Gray (A&M)
Emerging from the trauma of her divorce, Suzanne Vega has penned an album of renewal teeming with whispered, elliptical narratives and plenty of treated acoustic guitars.
31. Nathaniel Merriweather - Loveage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By (75 Ark)
Just when you thought he was riding the mainstream wagon of success with the Gorillaz, Dan the Automator delivers yet another solid album. Dan (under the guise of Nathaniel Merriweather) provides more helpful advice than "The Ladies Man" on mood music, afrodisiacs, and body hygiene.
32. Various Artists - Traveler '01 (6 Degrees)
In the latest installment of the acclaimed Traveler series, Six Degrees takes you globe-hopping on a virtual visit to the planet's hottest music scenes. Spanning continents and styles, dZihan & Kamien, UFO, Euphoria, Fila Brazillia and State of Bengal are among the artists contributing new remixes and original tracks unique to this collection.
33. Toploader - Onka's Big Moka (Sony/Epic)
A flawless exercise in piano bashing and guitar pop including a fabulous remake of King Harvest's "Dancing in the Moonlight."
34. Nikka Costa - Everybody Got Their Something (Virgin)
Sweaty white girl funk with pop sensibilities.
35. Turin Brakes - The Optimist LP (Astralwerks)
Debut album from folktronic London duo who have already sparked a storm of praise in the British music press. Comprising five tracks from earlier EPs and seven new originals, "The Optimist LP" is rife with subtle, contemplative moments that often turn lyrically dark or get carried away by cresting rhythms.
36. Peter Murphy - aLive: Just for Love (Metropolis)
The godfather of goth reclaims his throne on this live concert release revisiting some of the finest moments in his amazing body of work.
37. Soulstance - Truth, Simplicity & Love (Shakti)
A pair of Italian brothers influenced by the easy-swinging dance music of Brazil and '70s groove soundtracks.
38. Garmarna - Hildegard von Bingen (Northside)
Nordic band rearranges the music of the 12th century nun with modern electronic backdrops. Subtitled Sister Act III… no, not really.
39. Hedwig & the Angry Inch - Hedwig & the Angry Inch [Soundtrack] (Sire)
John Cameron Mitchell reprises the lead role of Hedwig, the flamboyantly unlucky victim of a botched sex-change operation. This is as good as a rock musical gets.
40. Tenacious D - Tenacious D (Sony/Epic)
Sort of like a trashier, more casual and less musical Beck, vocalist-guitarist Jack Black and guitarist-vocalist Kyle Gass deliver oddball musings that will appeal mostly to fans of the talented Black, whose earned a following thanks to memorable, frenetic turns in the films "Hi Fidelity" and "Jesus' Son."

Statement 2: Economic Outlook
This statement presents the economic forecasts that underlie the Budget estimates.
The Australian economy is entering its 25th consecutive year of growth and is forecast to strengthen further over the next few years. This is the second longest continuous period of growth of any advanced economy in the world.
Conditions globally are expected to improve somewhat over the forecast period. Growth in Australia's major trading partners is expected to outpace world GDP growth, as activity in major advanced economies rises and growth remains strong in our faster growing Asian trading partners.
The recovery in the United States is becoming increasingly broad‑based and will provide support for world growth more broadly. Growth in China will continue to make a strong contribution to global output as authorities look to rebalance the economy towards consumption‑led drivers of growth. In India, growth has accelerated and is expected to exceed growth in all other major economies.
The lower exchange rate, lower oil and electricity prices and macroeconomic policy settings are all working together to underpin stronger growth in Australia.
Dwelling investment continues to grow strongly and household consumption grew at its fastest rate in almost three years in the December quarter 2014. Exports are also expanding rapidly as resource production ramps up and the lower exchange rate supports services sectors, such as tourism.
The outlook for growth remains positive even in the face of the adjustment underway as the resources investment boom unwinds. Mining investment is expected to fall by around 25 per cent in 2015‑16 and 30 per cent in 2016‑17. 1
Real GDP is expected to grow by 2¾ per cent in 2015‑16. This is one quarter of a percentage point slower than expected 12 months ago in the 2014‑15 Budget, as a sustained recovery in non‑mining business investment is taking longer than expected. However, stronger non‑mining business investment is expected to drive an increase in growth to 3¼ per cent in 2016‑17.
The labour market has proven more resilient than expected in recent months. Employment growth has picked up, supported by wage restraint across the economy. This has led to a downward revision to the forecast for the unemployment rate for the June quarter 2015 to 6¼ per cent. This is in the face of an improvement in the participation rate which is now expected to be 64¾ per cent in the June quarter 2015.
Going forward, the unemployment rate is expected to edge a little higher in 2015‑16 before falling in 2016‑17. The participation rate is forecast to be slightly higher than it was in the 2014‑15 Budget as improved job prospects encourage additional people back into the workforce.
Iron ore and metallurgical coal prices have fallen sharply as a substantial increase in global supply coincides with some easing in steel demand from China. The forecasts are underpinned by an iron ore price of US$48 per tonne FOB (free on board). By comparison, the spot price forecast in the 2014‑15 Budget averaged US$96 per tonne FOB, which itself was well below the peak price of US$185 per tonne FOB in 2011.
The fall in commodity prices has had a significant impact on both business profits and wages with material implications for nominal GDP.
As a result, nominal GDP is now expected to grow by 3¼ per cent in 2015‑16 before picking‑up to 5½ per cent in 2016‑17. This has driven a substantial downgrade to government taxation receipts of $52 billion since the 2014‑15 Budget (see Budget Statement 4).
Momentum in the recovery in the US, Japan and euro area and stronger growth in India will support stronger global growth. While risks have somewhat abated for the global economic outlook, risks remain, notably with China's transition to a more sustainable growth model.
In Australia, the pace and timing of the pick‑up in economic growth is subject to some uncertainty. A lower exchange rate, historically low interest rates and lower oil prices should stimulate faster growth in household spending and business investment than forecast. However, there remain some risks. The headwinds from the reduction in mining investment are significant and it is also possible that the pick‑up in non‑mining investment may not be as strong as expected. There is also a risk that momentum in consumer spending could dissipate.

Citation: Callender, Edward, and Rice, Karen C., 2000, The urban environmental gradient: Anthropogenic influences on the spatial and temporal distributions of lead and zinc in sediments: Environmental Science and Technology, vol. 34, no. 2, p. 232-238.
PDF version of entire article (99 Kb)
Urban settings are a focal point for environmental contamination due to emissions from industrial and municipal activities and the widespread use of motor vehicles. As part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program of the U.S. Geological Survey, streambed-sediment and dated reservoir-sediment samples were collected from the Chattahoochee River Basin and analyzed for total lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) concentrations. The sampling transect extends from northern Georgia, through Atlanta, to the Gulf of Mexico and reflects a steep gradient in population density from nearly 1000 people/km2 in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area to fewer than 50 people/km2 in rural areas of southern Georgia and northern Florida. Correlations among population density, traffic density, and total and anthropogenic Pb and Zn concentrations indicate that population density is strongly related to traffic density and is a predictor of Pb and Zn concentrations in the environment derived from anthropogenic activities. Differences in the distributions of total Pb and Zn concentrations along the urban-suburban-rural gradient from Atlanta to the Florida Panhandle are related to temporal and spatial processes. That is, with the removal of leaded gasoline starting in the late 1970s, peak Pb concentrations have decreased to the present. Conversely, increased vehicular usage has kept Zn concentrations elevated in runoff from population centers, which is reflected in the continued enrichment of Zn in aquatic sediments. Sediments from rural areas also contain elevated concentrations of Zn, possibly in response to substantial power plant emissions for the region, as well as vehicular traffic.

I did not enjoy the Microwave Emitter chaos on the Narrows showdown much.
I share all your points but I also add something that will simply prevent that I can consider this a great movie: the dialogue. So much of it is bad, unnatuiral, repetitive, redundant, explanatory or just bad one-liners. That and the invisible action kill the movie for me.

Data From a Fall Migration Roost
During fall migration, some lucky people have thousands of monarchs pause in their yards at overnight roosts. Mr. Viger of Campbell, Minnesota, is one such person. Each day he counts the monarchs, tags them. He also records information about the wind and weather. Mr. Viger sent these pictures. How many tagged butterflies can you find in this roost?
The data below was collected during the fall 2001 season. The monarchs were present for almost 3 weeks and Mr. Viger noticed an interesting pattern. You can see it too if you look carefully at his data between August 27 and September 6.
By the way says Mr. Viger, "The picture above of my two kids (Alex age 5 in 1991 and Emily age 3) has an interesting story. We tagged a few butterflies in the morning and I told the kids to bring their last ones to the house and I would get a picture. One of those butterflies was recovered in Mexico. It's neat to have a picture of a butterfly (I'm not sure which one) that made it to Mexico."

XL Capital Ltd. saw the most gain in more than six months after reporting that first-quarter profit surged as the company lost less on its investments. First-quarter net income rose to $143.9 million from $3.1 million in the same period a year earlier, the Bermuda-based insurer said yesterday.
Chief Executive Officer Michael McGavick shifted the insurer's investment portfolio last year to reduce risk after losing money on assets tied to subprime mortgages. Net realized investment losses narrowed to $36.2 million in the first quarter from $251.9 million. XL increased policy sales, after losing clients a year earlier.
"The underlying business is showing improvement," FBR Capital Markets analyst Bijan Moazami wrote in a note today, raising his 2010 operating earnings-per-share estimate for XL to $2.25 from $2.20. "After several quarters of downward premium pressure, it appears that XL is finally regaining traction in the market."
