These healthy planet magazines are sure to give you ideas that are environmentally sound.
Healthy Planet Magazines
Being some good things we want to share. Money won't buy you a spot in ACCESS, but suggestions are invited. Is there something that YOU want to share?
Running Times Magazine
Woodbridge, Virginia
Fitness is one of those things we're all gonna achieve . . . when we've got the time. Of course we never have the time. Oh, maybe a short jog on occasion, a little tennis, a vacation (when we actually have to look at our bodies) dip in the ocean. Well, to some people . . . running is . . . fitness. Often running in fun-runs (non-competitive) and other running-oriented activities . . . ever hear of running in the New Year?
The folks at Running Times magazine are more than familiar with such "craziness". They live it and they love it . . . and the heart they put into running is apparent in each monthly issue of Running Times.
This is not your basic, slick, take-advantage-of-the-trend publication. Rather it's good, solid coverage of running events — hundreds of 'em — n the East, South, and Midwest. From the non-competitive fun-runs to marathons and ultramarathons (the editor-publisher of RT, Ed Ayres, recently completed a 50-mile ultra, and two of the other editors — Phil Stewart and Rick Platt — are among the best marathoners in the country) Running Times provides an insightful look at the world of running and runners.
The magazine (50-plus pages so far . . . and growing) isn't geared to world-class athletes, however, as much as to the average person with an interest in running and a desire to run. It tells you where and it tells you when. And with articles like "How to Take Care of a Hurt Heel" it tells you how — and how not — to run. Running Times even gets Into that mystical "why".
A one-year subscription is a very reasonable $10 U.S., $13 foreign (including Canada). So if fitness is one of those things you're gonna achieve — when you've got the time — and running is the way you want to get there, give yourself a better chance by giving Running Times a chance.
Energy Self-Reliance Magazine
Institute for Local Self-Reliance
Washington, D.C.
Probably the best recommendation we . . . can offer for the Institute for Local Self-Reliance is the fact that we feature — on a . . . regular basis — a page of their activities in . . . our magazine. Every issue! That's how strongly we feel about ILSR . . . and we have every reason to feel just as good about Energy Self-Reliance, their latest publication.
The economics of solar energy, job creation through energy self-reliance, strategies for municipal and federal energy policies based on conservation . . . does all this sound familiar? It should. These are just a few of the subjects discussed in Energy Self-Reliance . . . In the form of articles that have been reprinted from the Institute's bimonthly magazine ($6 per year for individuals, $12 per year for institutions) . . . Self-Reliance.
And that's essentially what this concise 16-page booklet is all about . . . a collection of energy-directed articles reprinted from . . . Self-Reliance and . . . all neatly divided Into four sections: Federal Energy Policy, Energy and Employment, Energy, and Solar Cells. Each article — as you'd expect from ILSR — is complete, easy to understand, interesting, and usable. Several include referrals to the specific what-you-can-get-and-where information that is so often lacking In presentations of this nature.
For a solid selection of current, ILSR-type reading — especially at a mere $1.25 postpaid per copy — Energy Self-Reliance has no . . . competition.
The Journal of Freshwater
Published by Freshwater Biological Research Foundation
Navarre, Minnisota
Every winter, spring, summer, and fall the Freshwater Biological Research Foundation publishes The Journal of Freshwater. It's a professional-quality, slick-and-lookin'-good, informative magazine. And it is good.
But the winter 1978 issue (Volume 2, Number 1) is even better. It's a special 40-pager devoted entirely to reporting the goings-on at the December 1977 conference cosponsored by the FBRF and the Science Museum of Minnesota. The subject of the conference was "Water: Our Delicate Life Membrane" and you probably didn't see it covered on TV or read about it in your local newspaper. You should have.
So, before you read any further, get your checkbook and write out a $5.00 check (memberships In the FBRF are $25 for one year) for that special special issue.
Granted, there are some beautiful color nature photos in the winter offering . . . as in every The Journal of Freshwater. But . . . don't. . . get that issue because of its pretty pictures. Get it because of the people it quotes and the things they have to say. Examples:
Dr. John M. Wood (director of the Freshwater Biological Institute): "The Industrial Revolution has taught us one lesson continuously — and that is the 'golden rule' — that the economic concept of industrial growth is, by its nature, often diametrically opposed to the concepts of conservation and environmental protection."
Dr. Kim Hooper (associate professor of biochemistry at Berkeley): "Some people believe as much as eighty or ninety percent of the cancers in the world are caused by environmental agents. Currently, one-fourth of us will get cancer. When we look at the body fat of Americans, we find a representative sample of PCB's, hexachlorobenzene, various pesticides like dieldrin, DDT, and heptachlor epoxide."
Dr. Frank D'Itri (director of the Institute of Water Research at Michigan State University): "The major factor in allowing pollution to continue is apathy on the part of the public, combined with their faith in government agencies and technology to solve the problems for them."
And if quotes like that haven't struck home yet, remember this: The people in Minamata Bay, Japan, had faith that their government was monitoring the discharge procedures of the Chisso Company (a local pollutor). The fish in Minamata Bay had faith as they bioaccumulated the methylmercury from the plant's discharge and passed it on to the townspeople. It then took over 20 years of "faith" before restitution (what is restitution to someone blind and crippled for the rest of his/her life) was directed — by the courts — to the Minamata victims. The same kind of horror story is now taking place in the Hudson Bay region of Canada and it could happen here.
As Dr. D'Itri says, " . . . organizations with centralized power structures, such as government agencies, are usually useless in solving pollution problems". Amen. All the more reason for every one of us to subscribe to The Journal of Freshwater so we'll all know what "they" are trying to do to our most precious commodity.
Sun Catalog
Solar Usage Now
Bascom, Ohio
MOTHER first noticed — and liked — the Sun Catalog over two years ago. Two busy years for the people at SUN. Well, there's a whole lot more to notice — and like — in the new 224-page 6th Edition (the 6th printing since 1974!).
Need parts for a solar water heater or solar-heated pool, or maybe just want to see if a price quoted to you for a solar heating system is reasonable? This 8 inch by 11 inch, magazine-sized, black-and-white (photos and/or drawings on just about every page) booklet is your answer. In fact, the Sun Catalog could very well be the answer to all of your solar usage requirements. It's even used as a price guide by the solar industry!
A quick glance at the table of contents for the catalog reveals: Solar Package Suggestions, Liquid Solar Collectors, Hydronic Fittings, Heat Exchangers, Home Energy and Water Savers, Spiral Tubing, Automatic Flue Dampers, Reflector Material, Heat Reclaimers, and equipment ad infinitum. Obviously, it's hard to take just a quick glance!
The $2.30 (postpaid) you'll pay for your own copy of the SUN CATALOG is an investment in every sense of the word. And the exposure you'll get to the current innovative concepts and designs in the solar usage field is an education all its own.
Do we sound enthusiastic about this catalog? Only because we are!
Back to the Farm Game
Animal Town Game Company
Santa Barbara, California
Worthwhile . . . that's the word that most easily comes to mind when describing this educational, contemporary, downright-dog-gone-fun-to-play game from some "do-it-yourself" folks in Santa Barbara.
You "pays your money" (in this case, $10.50 with fourth class postage, $11.50 with first class) and you "takes your chances" (stacks of Work, Social, Finance, and Old Mother Nature chances). You also "takes" a top-quality, easy-on-the-eyes and good-for-the-soul playing board (Monopoly size, but there the similarity ends), the required tokens, dice, and other trappings . . . plus . . . a dandy little booklet with rules and a bit of down-home "help the other guy and you both win" philosophy.
The "object" of the game is the day-to-day operation of a small, organic family farm . . . and the thwarting of the "Leprous Octopus", agribiz. The organic farmer and the energy conservation farmer (often one and the same) are billed as the true folk heroes of today. Hooray! Good for our side.
This really is a positive and positively fun learning experience . . . good for children, adults, everybody who didn't get a chance to grow up on a small farm. In fact, it's probably just as good-or maybe even better — for those who . . . did have such an opportunity but didn't appreciate it.
"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin", according to Shakespeare. The Back to the Farm Game is just such a touch.

Lebbeus Woods: artistry over architecture
The "Lebbeus Woods, Architect" exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art can be challenged on multiple levels, starting with whether Woods in fact was an architect at all. But there's no denying the potent force of the drawings that hum with life along the walls.
The San Francisco waterfront sprouts tangled structures that might be scavenged wood. Building-scale metallic creatures move through war-savaged districts. A suite of drawings called "The New City" evokes a walled medieval urbanity as it might be conceived by a cross between Piranesi and M.C. Escher.
The artistry shines through even when the architectural concepts come off to these eyes as self-absorbed. It gains power from being the most wide-ranging collection of Woods' work shown to date - and poignancy from the fact that Woods, 72, died in November as this show was being prepared by SFMOMA.
Woods spent his adult life in New York City, where he was an architectural renderer before emerging in the 1980s as the exemplar of architects who spin their theories on paper in elaborate drawings without clients or any likelihood of construction. While other such visionaries shifted into the realm of real buildings with real clients, Woods continued on - teaching at Cooper Union in New York, writing and drawing prolifically and designing the occasional installation that conveyed energy brought to life.
The regard with which he is held came through last week: The opening event last Wednesday was attended by New Yorkers including critic and fellow architectural provocateur Michael Sorkin. A Thursday night tribute to Woods featured a conversation between Thom Mayne and Neil Denari, two Southern California architects who remembered Woods as a mentor and friend.
The museum has collected Woods' work since the early '90s and has roughly three dozen pieces, including a series it commissioned in 1995 called "San Francisco Project: Inhabiting the Quake" (guess the theme!). Three immense charcoal drawings were high points of SFMOMA's recent "Field Conditions" exhibition and led to the current show, which was curated by Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher and Joseph Becker.
Challenging limitations
Becker joined Denari and Mayne onstage Thursday, and his first question boiled down to this: Can Woods the theorist be considered an architect, given that his only permanent built structure is a pavilion inside a larger complex in China designed by colleague Steven Holl?
"Architects do more than build," Denari responded before arguing that Woods used design to challenge the self-imposed limitations of architecture as a profession.
Mayne agreed: "His stance was totally and completely connected to critique. ... What he was fighting for was the experimental, a complete freedom in the way we explore our work."
This exploration included Woods' pursuit of ways to express his belief that architecture should convey, physically, whatever hell a society might encounter.
Consider a 1993 series on Sarajevo, a city he visited often: Meticulously drawn buildings of brick in traditional styles are ruptured by metallic scars and scabs. The "San Francisco Project" has a similar theme, with the skyline playing a background role to Woodsian constructions that look as though they erupted from the earth mid-tremor.
The architecture brought to paper by Woods also had a sci-fi edge (trivia note: He was credited as "conceptual architect" for the 1992 film "Alien 3"). His "Aerial Paris" series from 1992, for instance, juxtaposes gauzy cinematic drawings of the City of Light with gleaming clawlike vessels that supposedly would hover above the city, an alternate urbanity with jaw-dropping views.
The joy of creation
The contradiction in much of this is that Woods proclaims the virtues of architecture "free of any kind of predetermined meaning or usefulness," as he said in 1992, yet his imaginary structures are relentlessly designed. They're the visual equivalent of sloganeering.
But if the slogans often fall flat, the drawings exude the palpable joy of creation. Woods had a degree in engineering as well as architecture, and he never lost the renderer's talent of making a viewer believe that what you are looking at could someday exist.
The admiration of his peers aside, I'm not convinced that Woods made a lasting contribution to architectural theory in and of itself. But "Lebbeus Woods, Architect" demonstrates this beyond dispute: He drew with a passion, and he conveyed that passion well.

Young wins SB crown, Mets rally past Brewers 3-2
Submitted: 09/29/2013
New York
- Eric Young Jr. won the National League stolen base crown and helped the New York Mets rally past Milwaukee 3-2 on Sunday when the Brewers botched two bunts in the eighth inning. Young swiped two bases in the first, scored on a shallow sacrifice fly and later threw out a runner at the plate from left field. He began the day tied for the NL lead in steals at 44 with Milwaukee shortstop Jean Segura, who sat out for the 10th time in 11 games. Segura returned Saturday from a strained right hamstring but he and the Brewers didn't want to push it in the season finale, manager Ron Roenicke said. Playing in front of their third sellout crowd this year, the Mets prevented a four-game sweep by Milwaukee and finished 74-88 in their fifth straight losing season since moving into Citi Field.

Understanding the Potential of a Single Crystal
Award-winning Croatian professor speaks at PNNL's geochemistry seminar
Understanding how electrons move between minerals and water is pivotal in areas as diverse as battery construction and crop management. With advances in experimental resources and theories, scientists are devising ways to measure the charge distribution at individual surfaces of a single crystal. Previous measurements of this property, which gives rise to the electrostatic potential of the interface, were done on colloids, homogeneous mixtures of finely dispersed particles. Dr. Nikola Kallay, a research leader in mineral surface reactivity, spoke on advances in measuring the electrostatic potential at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Frontiers in Geochemistry Seminar Series. The series features academic, government, and industrial leaders who discuss novel ideas and advances in research and development.
After an enlightening introduction to life in Croatia, Kallay's presentation focused on his research into single crystal surfaces. He offered his novel methodologies for how to measure the surface potential of minerals and how charges move across the mineral-water interface. The single crystal surface potential can be measured by Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistors and by Single Crystal Electrode methods more recently developed and exploited by Kallay's group. Surface potentials measured in this way provide information on the potential determining ions and their state at specific mineral surfaces.
Kallay's work has significance for creating novel technologies. For example, he has postulated creating electrodes from ice or bubbles. His research also has applications in cleaning up radionuclides in the environment. The research has provided further avenues of inquiry into the properties of bacterial surfaces and how they interact with each other, and how minerals interact with soil contaminants. Understanding the movement of electrons across these interfaces has implications for a wide variety of new technologies.
"This talk provided me with a different way of thinking about the surface potential of minerals," said Dr. Carolyn Pearce, who conducts geochemistry research at PNNL. "I really appreciate the collaboration opportunities afforded by these seminars."

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 10 December 2012
Digital Agenda: Commission suspends Czech proposal to regulate wholesale termination rates
The European Commission has expressed serious doubts about a new proposal from the Czech telecoms regulator (ČTÚ) regarding termination rates which would negatively affect consumers in the Czech Republic. The prices proposed by ČTÚ for certain termination services are twice as high as prices in other countries where proper price setting methodologies are applied. ČTÚ has imposed wholesale prices which do not take into consideration next-generation-network based efficient technologies. Termination rates are the rates telecoms networks charge each other to deliver calls between networks, and each operator has market power over access to customers on its own network. These costs are ultimately included in call prices paid by consumers and businesses.
The new price regulation proposed by ČTÚ does not comply with the principles and objectives of EU telecoms rules which require Member States to promote competition and the interests of consumers in the EU.
European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes said: "The European Commission seeks fair regulation and is determined to ensure that the regulated termination rates are set at a proportionate level in all Member States without any unnecessary delay."
Moreover, the Commission criticized ČTÚ's proposal to regulate wholesale prices for fixed and mobile termination which would apply only to one telecom company providing the fixed line services and to three out of four operators on the mobile market. Other market players would thus remain free from price control without clear justification.
This is the second time that the Commission has used its new powers regarding national remedies under Article 7a of the Telecoms Directive in the Czech Republic. The procedure must be concluded within three months.
"Article 7" of the new Telecoms Framework Directive requires national telecoms regulators to notify the Commission, BEREC (the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications) and telecoms regulators in other EU countries, of measures that they plan to introduce to address the lack of effective competition in the markets in question.
Under the new powers of Article 7a of the Framework Directive, the Commission, in close cooperation with BEREC will, over the next three months discuss with ČTÚ how to amend its proposal in order to make it compliant with EU law. In the meantime, implementation of the proposal is suspended.
The new rules also enable the Commission to adopt further harmonisation measures in the form of recommendations or (binding) decisions if divergences in the regulatory approaches of national regulators, including remedies, persist across the EU in the longer term.

BATAVIA – Scientists at Fermilab's Tevatron particle collider on Wednesday voiced excitement about the observation of a new particle.
"It's a little like looking at the periodic table of elements and finding a missing element," said Fermilab physicist Pat Lukens, who gave a lecture Wednesday on the discovery. "It's a particle that we expected to exist so it's not a surprise, but it is the first observation of its type."
Lukens is part of the CDF collaboration at Fermilab. The CDF is home to the Tevatron particle accelerator, which accelerates protons and antiprotons close to the speed of light, and then makes them collide head-on inside the CDF detector.
The new particle, the neutral Xi-sub-b, contains three quarks: a strange quark, an up quark and a bottom quark. Lukens said the observation of the particle is significant because it strengthens scientists' understanding of how quarks form matter.
"It's a baryon," Lukens said. "A common example of baryons are protons and neutrons."
He said the discovery marks just another accomplishment for the Tevatron, which is set to shut down this year after losing out on additional federal funds to continue its operation. The top quark was discovered at the Tevatron in 1995.
It is the heaviest known elementary particle observed in nature.
Quarks are one of the fundamental building blocks of matter in the universe.
At one time, Fermilab had the world's largest atom smasher. But in 2009, the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland broke the world record for proton acceleration, firing particle beams with 20 percent more power than Fermilab's Tevatron, which previously held the record.
Scientists are now searching for the elusive Higgs boson, which is believed to give mass to matter that makes up the universe.

Exclusive DetailsThe horrific massacre at UCSB Friday night -- in which 6 people were shot dead -- seemed to be triggered by a maniac who was angry at women because they would not have sex with him ... and TMZ has learned shooter has a connection to "Hunger Games."
22-year-old Elliot Rodger posted a YouTube video hours before he unleashed his violence on the streets of Isla Vista -- the UCSB community. We've learned Rodger is the son of Peter Rodger, the second unit director of the first installment of "Hunger Games."
Elliot Rodger was killed as he engaged Sheriff's deputies who responded to the scene. He died from a gunshot wound to the head, although it's unclear if it was self-inflicted.
In the video you hear Rodger's fury at the women who did not find him attractive and you hear his resolve at getting revenge.
According to reports ... a lawyer for Peter Rodger says the director contacted police several weeks ago about YouTube clips his son had uploaded in regards to "suicide and killing people."
The Associated Press says the lawyer claims police interviewed Elliot and found him to be a "perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human."
"My client's mission in life will be to try to prevent any such tragedies from ever happening again," the lawyer said. Adding, "This country, this world, needs to address mental illness and the ramifications from not recognizing these illnesses."

Woman died from drinking 10 liters of Coke a day, coroner says
A New Zealand coroner has clarified that the cause of one mother's death had to do with her drinking at least 10 liters of Coca-Cola per day, BBC News reported.
Natasha Harris went into cardiac arrest in February 2010 and died at the age of 30.
At the time of her death, a pathologist found Harris had hypokalemia, or a lack of potassium in the blood.
Harris' family said she was addicted to the soda, and if she didn't get her fix, she would go into withdrawal, including shaking. Eventually, her teeth had to be removed because the sugar caused decay.
At least one of Harris' eight children was born without enamel on his or her teeth, because of the mother's addiction.
The excessive consumption of Coca-Cola caused cardiac arrhythmia, which means the heart beats too fast or too slow, according to Coroner David Crerar.
Crerar said drinking that much soda is equivalent to more than two pounds of sugar and 970 milligrams of caffeine, according to Television New Zealand.
"I find that when all the available evidence is considered, were it not for the consumption of very large quantities of Coke by Natasha Harris, it is unlikely that she would have died when she died and how she died," Crerar pointed out.
Coca-Cola has argued it's product cannot be linked to Harris' death.
Last year, in a statement to The Southland Times newspaper, a Coca-Cola representative said that "grossly excessive ingestion of any food product, including water" could be harmful.
"We believe that all foods and beverages can have a place in a balanced and sensible diet combined with an active lifestyle," the statement added.

Were those other scenes in the video from a movie?
However I was pleasantly surprised (I was quite new to Moya's solo work at the time) at how good the music was and how intelligent the lyrics were.
Our faith is not about "happy-clappy" even though it gives us joy too, but often about exploring the dephts of life and its meaning.
Why you're saying that you understand my concerns on Enya's music. Do you know sumfn I should know of.??
No .... you posted something elsewhere, and I was just resonating with that, is all
