The answer? I don't know... yet. The draw of Global Warming (or Climate Change, or whatever it's called today...) seems irresistible to a certain segment of the population, a very large segment of the population here in the Pacific Northwest. That provides a lot of political space for folks like Inslee to operate.
A quick summary of the project:
Gov. Inslee's office laid out the initiative on April 29th by issuing Executive Order 14-04. The order create's "The Governor's Carbon Emissions Reduction Taskforce." The goal of the Taskforce is to "provide recommendations on the design and implementation of a carbon emission limits and market mechanisms program for Washington [State]." The solution resulting from the Taskforce:
- "...must establish a cap on carbon pollution emissions,"
- must include "...binding requirements to meet our statutory emission limits,"
- "...must include the market mechanisms needed to meet the limits in the most effective and efficient manner possible,"
- "...must be designed to maximize the benefits and minimize the implementation costs, considering our emissions and energy sources, and our business and jobs."
In reviewing those objectives one senses the raw political power that Inslee is wielding here. The goals are notably expansive, would likely impact quite a large portion of the population and businesses in our state, and may even be a bit contradictory. A politician needs to be pretty confident that their position cannot be challenged before issuing a document with such boldly stated goals.
The executive order began with several statements of "fact" intended to validate the need for the document to follow. "Whearas" items counted up to nine, with more listed as sub-bullets. The first was particularly stunning:
Wow. A few words about the nonsense of Global Warming seem in order:WHEREAS, the University of Washington, as required by statute, recently released its summary of existing knowledge regarding the causes, impacts, and effects of climate change on Washington State, concluding:
- Human activities have increased atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases to levels unprecedented in at least the past 800,000 years; (...)
(A) The Error: Anthropomorphic Global Warming (AGW), the idea that humanity's daily activities are negatively impacting the environment, is professed to be scientifically proven fact. In reality, though, it is merely a scientific consensus. To be a scientific fact we would have to subject the theories of AGW to the scientific method. The hypotheses would need to be testable through controlled experiments that generate consistent, predictable results. In this case, we cannot re-create the environment of the Earth and all the myriad of inputs inside a laboratory. We are left with mere hypotheses, unproven. The hyptothesis does not magically convert to fact after crossing some imaginary level of consensus amongst scientists.
That does beg the question as to why scientists could be so caught up in the idea. My take? It's a bit of confusion resulting from the rejection of traditional western theology that is common in modern academic circles:
(B) The Theology: AGW is an expression of something very familiar to Christians: Original sin. Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and we are all stained by the corruption of sin from birth. AGW theory requires us to believe that simply by living a normal human existence we are damaging, perhaps destroying, the planet. When we drive our car we emit carbon waste. When we flip on a light switch we use electricity generated by a polluting coal plant. Taken to an extreme, merely by breathing we exhale carbon. AGW theory does not allow for any peace from this scourge of environmental sin, although True Believers would convince us all that we can earn our salvation by our good works: recycling programs, re-usable shopping bags, electric cars, state-wide carbon reduction regimes.
Then who are these people that are promoting such a flawed vision of reality?
(C) The Players: There are three types of people engaged in all of this AGW effort:
- True Believers: the people who feel redeemed by recycling that soda bottle instead of throwing it away, or by creating new regulations that force others to join them. These are your rank and file soldiers (voters) for all of the pro-environment measures the Manipulators might propose; and
- The Followers: going along to get along, to be cool, to keep the pesky True Believers off their backs; and
- The Manipulators: the leaders that swoop in to take advantage of the guilty consciences of the True Believers and the weaknesses of the Followers. By encouraging a concept of works-righteousness they strive to obtain wealth and power for themselves.
Returning to that sense of the Political Power being exerted by Gov. Inslee, as I read on through the executive order it became simply overwhelming. With the swoosh of his pen on a document, our governor is seemingly moving heaven and earth and commanding all his citizens to march in step to his wishes.
And in that thought comes another clear indication of the foundational error of initiatives such as the governor's Taskforce to reduce carbon emissions:
(D) The Corruption: When most of us consider the idea of political corruption, we likely think of individual politicians lining their pockets or those of their friends. That kind of run-of-the-mill graft is surely going to happen through the work of this task force. A different sort of corruption leaps out of this document: corruption of purpose.
Following is a list of each of the state and regional governing bodies tasked with additional responsibilities by Executive Order 14-04:
- Office of Financial Management
- Department of Commerce
- Department of Ecology
- Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission
- Northwest Power and Conservation Council
- Department of Transportation
- Regional Transportation Planning Organizations
- Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board
- Transportation Improvement Board
- County Road Administration Board
- Washington State University
- WSU Energy Program
- State Building Code Council
- Department of Agriculture
- Northwest Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnership for Washington
- Bonneville Power Administration
- Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance
- US. Department of Energy
- Department of Enterprise Services
- Results Washington
- Sovereign Tribal Governments
- Pacific Coast Collaborative
- Department of Health
- Department of Fish and Wildlife
- Department of Natural Resources
- Office of the Attorney General
- Office of the Insurance Commissioner
A few of those departments exist to address issues related to energy and environment, such as the the Northwest Power and Conservation Council. Organizations such as the Office of Financial Management would surely have a natural role in any new policy being proposed. But most of the organization listed above...
...The Department of Transportation gained numerous mentions in the document. It seems to be repeatedly assigned a leadership role and made responsible for marshalling the cooperation of other departments towards supporting key objectives. This is a corruption of purpose.
WSDOT is on this planet for a specific purpose...
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is the steward of a large and robust transportation system, and is responsible for ensuring that people and goods move safely and efficiently. In addition to building, maintaining, and operating the state highway system, WSDOT is responsible for the state ferry system, and works in partnership with others to maintain and improve local roads, railroads, airports, and multi-modal alternatives to driving.
...and that purpose is something very unrelated to saving the planet from destruction via carbon pollution resulting from man's existence.
Organizations like WSDOT are created to facilitate efficient solutions to complex problems that are best solved through specialization. This department allows the state to designate resources and round up talented personnel to provide for a specific need of the people of the state. This executive order diverts transportation systems experts from their normal duties of ensuring traffic will flow smoothly on our highways (etc.) to making sure the planet doesn't sweat too much some fifty years in the future. Money that would otherwise be budgeted to expand a bridge, open a new waterway, or ensure the smooth functioning of the airports is going to be redirected towards initiatives of questionable return.
An argument could be made that WSDOT isn't being taken off course. The department already incorporates many factors into its projects that go beyond getting a road laid straight. An example might be the overpasses recently constructed above WA-520 on the east side of Lake Washington that are virtual forests atop concrete. An impressive amount of beautification. Although planting those trees might be a sidebar to the function of moving traffic efficiently, that beautification generates immediate benefits. Each of us that travels over or under that highway bridge enjoys the fruits of these WSDOT efforts to make something more than merely a bare pathway for vehicles.
There is an honesty and simplicity to creating the Dept. Of Transportation. Here is a mechanism for the people to address an important common objective with clarity. There is no mystery. The head of the WSDOT and all the staff under him has one clear mission: ensure the efficient movement of people and things around the state. The Governor can relax a bit knowing that the details of this challenging undertaking have been delegated to knowledgable experts, allowing him to turn to other pressing problems requiring his leadership. The citizens of the sstate can rest easy in the knowledge that this work has been properly assigned and will be addressed by people properly accountable to the political process.
If the Dept of Transportation is going to be tasked to accomplish something other than meeting the transportation needs of the citizens of Washington State, then perhaps the department should be re-named something else entirely, allowing us to vote in the creation of a Dept of Only Transportation (seriously, and this time we mean it!) to replace the old corrupted entity and to manage our roads and byways.
Or perhaps we could recognize the corruption of purpose that is inherent in an effort like The Governor's Carbon Emissions Reduction Taskforce and direct our government to use limited state tax funds more effectively.
Which brings us back to the pressing question: How do we shift the political reality away from the nonsense of Global Warming and towards the common sense of managing to the daily needs of our state? Hopefully this dialogue can help us develop meaningful solutions to that problem.

Pao Town, the fast-casual Asian concept by the owner of the highly successful Sushi Maki, closed its doors this past Friday.
Owner Abe Ng had high hopes for Pao Town, which offered cuisine from different Asian countries divided into four sections: mains, salads, buns, and sides. In a First Bites post about the restaurant in September 2013, Zachary Fagenson also had high hopes. "We're betting Pao Town will be a popular spot for the Gables crowd. It's situated right off Miracle Mile, a corridor flooded with chain and Thai restaurants, and will enjoy plenty of business from the lunch crowd."
See also: Pao Town: A Different Asian Concept for the Gables
Indeed, the restaurant proved popular for lunch, but it failed to draw the more profitable dinner crowd. A spokesperson for the restaurant explained Pao Town was "doing great business at lunchtime, but we're falling short at dinner and on weekends."
Pao Town will be reincarnated in the future, but for now all efforts are on launching a new menu at Sushi Maki in October.

Here's the sign that was posted on Pao Town's door Friday:
Dear Friends,
As of Friday, August 30, Pao Town closed its doors to refine the restaurant concept. Our entire family has truly enjoyed serving you over the past year and will be back at some point in the future, definitely tweaked for a new concept more appropriate for the Ponce Corridor. We can't thank our loyal fans enough for their frequent visits, many laughs, and abundant appetites; you haven't seen the last of Pao Town.
We take away lots of learning from this one year "experiment" -- including some fabulous menu items which will be making appearances on menus at our catering events, Canton Chinese Restaurants, Sushi Maki and possibly even American Airlines Arena. We don't know when and where we will re-open -most importantly, we have gained many amazing team members at Pao Town, all of whom have been offered jobs at Sushi Maki, Canton and our Catering division.
In the interim, some favorite Pao Town menu items will still be available next door at Canton Chinese and the restaurant space is available for private events; just call our Catering Department at (786) 507-3333 for more information.

|Sean on 7b+
Since it's that time of year I'm sure I'm meant to talk about New Years resolutions and the like, but since I know that statistically most new years resolutions fail before the end of January, I'll leave it at that (suffice to say, if you're making a resolution, wait until February or March when the doom and gloom of January has worn off*!). My only resolution was to start the year off climbing so myself and a great gang bailed for the balmy weather of El Chorro for New Years. People keep telling me there can be epic rains and snow at this time of year there, I've been there twice and barely seen a cloud so I find it hard to believe :) Still though, in typical tradition I did make sure to climb at the shady crags for the week and a half, I'm not one for climbing in the sun - one of the fundamentals of climbing for saving skin!
In the end, about 8 days of climbing involved about 40-ish new routes climbed of all grades. Strangely, my favourite line of the trip was my hardest - this is pretty unusual. Example: my favorite line of 2011 was a seven (or was it six?) pitch 5+/6a at Orpierre - a third pitch of delicate smears, and a final pitch out a steep overhanging corner to a wild finish and a stunning belay above the valley floor. Just shows it's not all about the hardest grade to do the best moves.
This trip also reminded me absolutely about why I love going to different locations for climbing. I got to spend some time with some close friends from Sheffield, Holland and Moab (USA). I'd no idea any of them were going to be there but it's always cool to arrive at a crag in a random country and realize you know some of the people. Different perspectives, ideas, motivations, cultures all blend me into a better person. Of course, we gained some additional friends, this time Montreal (Canada) was the new location, Felix spent his whole time raving about the crag of Rumney (Dave Graham's old stomping ground) - it's now on my list of places to go.
As ever, routes were tried, everyone was going well. Most importantly, I think we all came back having learnt something and renewed motivation for the year. Am I motivated after the trip? definitely! bring on more activities - psyche!
* or else read this great article about writing training goals from Jack Geldard....
When one decides to start training, it is sometimes done with a rush of enthusiasm or psyche. This psyche is not self-discipline, and a distinction must be made between the two things. Your psyches tells you that you can train 6 days per week. Your psyche tells you that getting up at 6am and going for a run in the cold and dark mornings of January is totally within your capability. Basically, your psyche is full of shit. Even if that psyche can last for a couple of weeks, it most probably can't last for long enough for you to finish a real training programme for climbing.

Earlier versions of this article, including in the print edition of The Washington Post, understated the amount that the Academy for Educational Development returned to the government when its contract was terminated. The article, because of a typographical error in the report, put the amount at more than $92,000; the actual amount returned was more than $992,000. This version has been corrected.
USAID suspends District-based nonprofit AED from contracts amid investigation
Wednesday, December 8, 2010; 10:18 PM
The U.S. Agency for International Development said Wednesday that it suspended a nonprofit organization from receiving new government contracts because of an ongoing investigation regarding questionable practices.
USAID's Office of Inspector General is investigating the Academy for Educational Development (AED), which is based in the District. The 49-year-old nonprofit group contracts with U.S. government agencies and others to run health, education, social and economic development programs in about 150 countries.
AED is also one of USAID's key contractors in Afghanistan, overseeing the government agency's higher-education program in the war-torn country. In the past three years, it has received $109 million in contracts from USAID for work in Afghanistan.
Initial findings by the inspector general's office "reveal evidence of serious corporate misconduct, mismanagement, and a lack of internal controls, and raise serious concerns of corporate integrity," according to a statement from USAID.
AED has 65 contract awards from USAID worth roughly $640 million, according to a USAID official.
The agency said it plans to conduct "an immediate internal review" of "every program associated with AED."
Lars Anderson, a spokesman for USAID, said AED's suspension "prevents it from bidding on or receiving any further awards from the U.S. government until the suspension is lifted or legal proceedings are instituted against the organization."
USAID said it decided to suspend AED after the inspector general's investigation started in spring 2009 and found "substantiated evidence of misconduct by AED."
The inspector general's investigation involved AED's work in two development and education programs in Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to a statement the company released Wednesday.
"AED is cooperating with the [inspector general's] investigation and is committed to working with USAID on their overall and specific concerns," AED's statement said.
The organization said it has made "significant steps toward strengthening its project-oversight process, personnel and resources."
USAID recently ended a five-year, $150 million cooperative agreement with AED after its inspector general found evidence of fraud related to a program in Pakistan that was designed to provide disaster relief, infrastructure development, education and agricultural services, according to a recent report to Congress that did not identify the company by name. A source close to the investigation confirmed that the company in the report was AED.
In that Pakistan program, the inspector general's investigation found "evidence of collusion between vendors and staff . . . resulting in overpayment for certain goods," according to the agency's report.
USAID ended its work with AED on the program, and the group returned more than $992,000.
AED has recently lost some of its top management. Robert S. Murphy replaced Deanna Trotter, who is retiring after 22 years with the group, as chief financial officer. And last month, Stephen F. Moseley, who had served as AED's president and chief executive for 23 years and is well known in the nonprofit world, said he would retire next year.

My Pottery Now on Etsy!
I was timid about selling pottery online due to concerns about shipping, but who am I to deprive others of the fruits of my new found passion? If you look on the blog archives, you will see what a solid progression I have made as a clay artist over the last year and wow-how that flew by! I started with little bowls and now have made 12" Raku vases, stoneware casseroles, mugs and all sorts of nice things which has now given me more confidence about offering it to the public. My new etsy shop is RisingStarPottery1 and I have populated it with the 13 items that I have left from my holiday sales. There is plenty more to come including pieces that I didn't have time to finish before the studio closed for the winter break. When it reopens next week, I plan to get right to work creating gift items for Valentine's day and spring items maybe like hanging pots and wind chimes. I am still a painter and maintaining my other etsy shop as well where I sell my original painintgs, prints, my kids book, notecards, anything related to my painting. That shop name is "grampa1" though beginning tomorrow it will be changed to "RisingStarArt". Look at me, going for consistency! Go figure :0) You'll know its me when you get there! Well, hope you'll have a look at my new pottery shop and show me some love by either purchasing, liking it on FB or tweeting or pinning or doing whatever on which ever social network you're on! Thanks as always for your support of my creative life!

Great graphic novel recommendations from the Ottawa Public Library/
The Ottawa Public Library is back to share some of their favourite books for children with us. This month's post is by Lise Dumas, Ottawa Public Library.
May is the month of Free Comic Book Day, the Ottawa Comiccon and best of all the Main Branch of the Library's first (mini) BiblioCon. Here are some of the recently published graphic novels available at the Ottawa Public Library recommended for 9-12 year olds (Clicking on the title will hyperlink you to the OPL Catalogue page where you can see if the book is available at your local branch, or you can put it on hold and then pick it up at your home branch when it is ready for you!):
The Stone Heart by Faith Erin Hicks.
This second book in a planned trilogy, takes place in the Nameless City currently ruled by the Dao clan. The main characters are Kaidu, a young Dao soldier, more interested in books than battles, and Rat, a young orphan and native of the city. The city natives are considered less than human by the Dao conquerors. After Kaidu and Rat foil an assassination attempt on the Dao general at the end of the first book, the Dao general agrees to create a council of representatives from each of the diverse groups living in the city. In The Stone Heart, the reader learns more about the histories of the main characters, there is betrayal, and a war is imminent. This second book of the Stone Heart series sets up the groundwork for an exciting conclusion.
Star Scouts by Mike Lawrence
Avani Patel is the new kid in school and all is not well. She does not fit in and to make matters worse, her father has signed her up for the local Flower Scout Troupe at which instead of adventure and excitement, all the girls want to do is put on makeup, gossip and drool over boys. Fortunately for Avani, she is abducted by an enthusiastic blue alien named Mabel, who is working on her Star Scouts "collection badge". Avani happily spends time in space with Mabel and her troupe. Avani faces many challenges during a week at Camp Andromeda and learns skills such as jet pack racing, teleporting and herding monsters, all while keeping her dad from discovering that she has left planet earth.
All's Faire in Middle School by Victoria Jamieson
11-year-old homeschooler Imogene (Impy) Vega is now set to embark on the great adventure of going to a middle school. She is excited to go but is unprepared for the trials and tribulations of cranky teachers, boys and frenemies, while still trying to understand her own identity. Imogene aspires to become a knight at the Renaissance Faire, where both her parents work. Fans of Raina Telgemeier will also enjoy this book.
If your family enjoys graphic novels and a celebration of all things comic and geek culture, come and join us May 5 and May 6 for free activities at BiblioCon located at the Main Branch of the Ottawa Public Library. No registration is required; come in a costume and join the fun!

Writing Staycation
One of my favorite places to write is in a hotel room.
The anonymity, the isolation, the little bit of luxury. It's part of why I love hosting writers here at the Inn. I've been known to take over one of the rooms on occasion, but if I really need to delve into some pages it can't be my own hotel. It's just not the same.
So yesterday I packed a bag with a few essentials--
(yes, books, anchovies, and arugula all count as "essentials") -- and hit the road for the Emerson Resort just twenty minutes away where I spent the better part of twenty-four hours on this bed writing writing writing.
And now I'm back to my own hotel where there's loads to do before the busy weekend!

Vapor sensors are easily fabricated onto alumina substrates using foils of silver-decorated nitrogen-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes CNX-MWNTs-Ag as active sensing material. The vapor sensors are tested using carbon disulfide, acetone, ethanol, and chloroform vapors. The CNX-MWNTs are produced by chemical vapor deposition process and then decorated with 14 nm Ag nanoparticles Ag-NPs. The samples are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Our results demonstrate that Ag-decorated CNX-MWNTs exhibit a better response and sensitivity when compared with pristine CNX-MWNTs based sensors, making them promising candidates for air-pollutants environmental monitoring. The temperature effect on the sensor performance is also studied; we found that the detection mechanism could be tuned from physisorption, at room temperature, to chemisorption at higher working temperature. Finally, first-principles density functional calculations are carried out to understand the interactions between the systems involved in the sensors, finding good agreement between experimental results and the theoretical approach.

An au pair's main responsibility is to take care of the host family's children. The au pair is expected to play with and occupy the children, help with their homework and take them to school, kindergarten or to their other activities. In addition, the au pair assists the family with light housework. During the au pair stay, the children get to know the au pair's culture and language. However, au pairs should not be considered as language teachers.
Depending on the age of the children, the au pair can also be asked to help them with tidying up their bedrooms. Washing the children's clothes and preparing simple meals are also part of the job. In addition, the au pair may be asked to babysit once or twice a week. Babysitting, however, forms part of the working hours of the au pair.
Our tip:
The au pair and host family should discuss the au pair's duties together before the au pair placement starts. The tasks and duties of the au pair can then be written down in a schedule.

- Summary
In just a few short years, inkjet photo printers have branched off from their evolutionary predecessors, the inkjet office printer. From slow, crude producers of dotty text and marginal-quality graphics, the current generation of six-, seven-, and even eight-color photo printers produces prints that most people cannot distinguish from photo lab pictures.
Really? Well, photo printer manufacturers have surveys to prove it. A survey cited by HP concluded: "When presented with prints of five different photos, US consumer respondents preferred HP prints more than other inkjet and silver halide [photo lab] prints... Most participants did not realize inkjet printers are capable of producing true-to-life photographs. The test proved to be a real eye-opener."
|Spencerlab Study
The previously mentioned study is called "Consumer Preference Research: Photographic Print Quality, HP 8-Color vs. Conventional Processing & Competitive 6-Color Inkjet Printers." You can read it at http://spencerlab.com/Spencer-hpPIQ_Sep03.pdf.
It's worth dissecting this claim a bit. First, the survey said "US consumer" respondents, which I interpret as significantly less demanding than those of us who aim to produce great digital photos. I have conducted many informal surveys and I think it's true to say that, overall, people who like photos and take and print photos at photo labs are generally rather amazed at the quality of a well-done inkjet photo, even compared with a photo lab print. Inkjet quality is good, but there is more involved in achieving great results from an inkjet. The elements of preparing a photo for digital printing covered in this bookranging from editing and touch-up techniques to the ink and paper you chooseplay a major role in raising the quality level of digital prints.
This means if you send an average photo from a digital or film camera to a professional print lab for traditional (chemical-based) photo printing, that print will rarely look anywhere near as good as a photo that was touched up using photo editing software. Photos that have been well prepared with photo editing software, and printed using high-quality photo ink and high-quality photo paper, look very good indeed.
The debate over whether inkjet quality really equals or exceeds traditional photo printing is bound to rage for some time, as are arguments over dye sub quality versus inkjet color. But the very fact that there is a debateand that large numbers of people find inkjet prints as good as or better than traditional photo printssays much about the state of photo inkjet printing.
Given that very high-quality prints are available from inkjet printers and building on the previous discussions in this book about photo editing, paper options, and ink quality, you can see that two basic factors determine the quality of inkjet photo prints:
Quality and options available in the inkjet printer
Correct use of the settings available with the printer
The rest of this chapter explores both these factors. I'll help you identify features that improve inkjet quality and help decipher the sometimes confusing printer property options available for photo inkjets. Along the way, you'll find advice on features that make inkjet photo printing more convenient, economical, and reliable.

53% of Global Carbon Emissions Come From the Developing World: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
image: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center
It's no secret that even though we've made strides in raising awareness (if not increasing action enough...) about global warming, carbon emissions just keep on rising. You probably also saw that earlier in the year China became the world's number one greenhouse gas emitter. What we can now report—thanks to new research done at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory—is that not only are global carbon emissions rising, the source of those emissions is shifting towards Asia. That may be intuitive to some readers, but this is what ORNL has found:Carbon Emissions Up 38% Since 1992
From 1992 to 2007, carbon dioxide emissions from burning of fossil fuels and manufacturing cement (deforestation, though acknowledged as a major source of emissions, was not included in this assessment) have increased 38%.
In 1992 the world's major emitters of CO2 were, in order of emissions: the United States, China, Russia, Japan and India. Now, ORNL says, "The most recent estimates suggest that India passed Japan in 2002, China became the largest emitter in 2006, and India is poised to pass Russia to become the third largest emitter, probably this year."
Balance Titled in 2005
The interesting thing is how this has changed over the past decade and a half. Again, this may be intuitive and perhaps would have occurred with or without the Kyoto Protocol, but ORNL has quantified it:
When the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was drafted in 1992, the 38 countries considered developed at the time were responsible for 62% of global carbon emissions.
When the Kyoto Protocol was drafted in 1997 those same countries emitted 57% of emissions.
When the Protocol came into force in 2005 (and let's remember that the US refused to ratify it...) those 38 developed nations contributed just about 50% to the world's growing greenhouse gas problem.
In 2007, the balance had solidly shifted, with 47% of global carbon emissions coming from the developed world.
The Challenge Ahead: Truly Global Action
I'd say something similar to what ORNL has said this all means, so I'll just quote them:
While this national distribution of emissions is significant in the context of international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol, its practical significance is less clear in a world linked by international commerce. [...] A recent study has estimated, for example, that a third of CO2 emissions from China in 2005 were due to production of goods for export. Current estimates of national CO2 emissions show simply the amount of CO2 emitted from within a country and do not take into consideration the impact of international trade in goods and services or the energy used in international travel and transport.

Last night, the O's held a 6-0 lead over the Boston Red Sox, with just 12 outs standing between them and a .500 record in mid-May.
Fans of other teams who stumble upon this post may scoff at the use of the .500 barometer as something to strive for, but hey…we're O's fans. We've been beaten down by 13 straight years of sub-.500 baseball, and at this point it's really all we hope for.
Since falling below .500 for a second time on May 2, then dropping to a season-high 5-games below .500 on May 8, many here in Birdland didn't expect to see that "hallowed ground" until Opening Day 2012 and 0-0.
So when last night, the Birds jumped out to a 6-0 lead over the Red Sux after five innings, we could all just smell .500 – to be honest, it smelled kind of mediocre, but that's neither here nor there. It's good enough for us!
Unfortunately, starter Chris Tillman's back stiffened up after five shutout – shaky, but shutout nonetheless – innings, and Buck was forced to turn things over to the bullpen.
Or, as I've taken to calling them, the buLOLpen.
Of the six (!) relievers the O's called upon over the game's final 3 1/3 innings, four of them gave up at least one run.
Six pitchers. Ten outs. Ten hits. Eight runs.
Though the O's managed to "hold off" the Sux in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, never allowing the game to become tied, O's fans everywhere knew that there was only one way this game could end.
With a Kevin Gregg blown save.
Which is, of course, exactly what happened.
Adding insult to injury, it happened in the most Kevin Gregg-esque of ways as well.
After retiring leadoff hitter Jason Varitek (on a fly ball to the warning track, no less), Gregg proceeded to walk each of the next two batters, the fastest guys on the team not named Crawford. Following those free passes to Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez smacked one off the 'monstah and that was all she wrote.
Add another to list of late-inning collapses against the Red Sox, and the O's are now – again – a small winning streak away from that .500 milestone.
De facto ace Zach Britton takes the hill tonight against Tim Wakefield to try to get said winning streak underway.
Ahhhhh, Birdland.

I was so excited when Maylin engage me to style & make her up for an absolutely romantic anniversary shoot.
I knew it would be beautiful…and it definitely did not disappoint! Maylin and her hubby were so adorable and clearly still madly in love after 5 years of marriage. I created a style that looks relaxed, lovely and comfortable. Their entire session is mix of romance and playfulness that is so encouraging for all couples celebrating anniversary or just getting married!
Thanks so much to photographer Teck Meng

Mexico new date (14.05.2007) 200-peso note confirmed
26 01, 2009 10:54 Category: North America
200 pesos (US$18.10), 14 MAY. 2007. Like P119, but new date and series DM.
Strangely enough, the first new style 200-peso note with Motion thread is dated 15 FEB. 2007 and series A, and a variety has also been confirmed with the date 14 MAY. 2007 and series C. That means this old style note bears a date that's subsequent to the introduction of the new style notes, and actually shares that date with a new style variety.

A great glass cleaner is only half the story - a great glass microfibre is essential for getting the job done properly.
The Cloudbuster looks like a typical waffle-weave, but the fabric is made with a tougher fabric blend which helps to remove stubborn marks and bonded contaminants. The Cloudbuster is made with a bonded edge, is highly absorbent and is large, making short work of glass cleaning.

Best glass towel
by Tihon, 24 Nov 2015
I`m a huge fan of Microfiber Madness products and this one isn`t exception. Cloudbuster simply do the job as advertised. It`s almost as good as special paper towels. And while paper towels are disposable, the Cloudbuster will serve you for a long time. Good product.
Don't look at others - buy this!
by Nick S, 01 Dec 2014
I've found it hard over the years to get a decent glass towel which removes all grime, mist, and glass cleaner. The Cloud Buster does this brilliantly and has firmly positioned itself as my only glass cloth!

text: This study examined the computer aided modelling, analysis, and design, of a concrete gravity dam. Manual design was first done and validated with CADAM software. MIDAS GTS software was then used again and the results were compared with manual design based on stability analysis against sliding, overturning and shear friction. Initial data of the University of Ilorin dam was collected from project planning unit (PPU) of the University of Ilorin for the analysis. A Typical trapezoidal concrete gravity dam ofTop width of 2m, Bottom width of 10m, Height of12m and upstream face batter of 0.9m was analysed in this study using the Gravity Method of analysis.Based on the manual design of the typical concrete gravity dam analysis carried out, the factors of safety against overturning, sliding and shear friction factor were 1.63, 1.15, and 20.59, while validation using CADAM gave 3.63, 4.08 and 5.66 factor of safety respectively. These are all greater than the allowable factors. The compressive stresses at the toe of the dam using manual design and MIDAS software are 1.05X kN/ and 1.66X kN/ respectively and the shear stresses using manual design and MIDAS software are 6.21X kN/ and 6.41X kN/ respectively. The results from the manual analysis and Midas GTS Software differ slightly; this could be due to the methods used.

Christmas Gift Tags
November 16, 2011
I whipped up these little bad boys tonight while both kids napped on the couch: my 8 week old because she had her shots today and was sleeping it off. My 4 year old because she's a diva/drama queen and decided she needed to rest after a long hard day of preschool. Oh to be young again.
I used craft paper from my daughter's craft box – just card stock scraps from Michael's – glue, glitter glue, fabric scraps, and beads. Really, you could use just about anything including buttons or wrapping paper scraps.
I'll punch a hole and tie a ribbon through each and attach to the gifts. That is, of course, once I start my shopping. Ugh.

The first half of Saithan has a lot of suspense, says S Saraswathi.
Debutant director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy's Saithan (Bhethaludu in Telugu) is a decently made thriller that attempts to delve into the complexities of the human mind transcending the barriers of time.
The film features music composer-turned-actor Vijay Antony, whose previous film Pichaikkaran was a huge success, and newcomer Arundathi Nair.
Vijay has composed the music for the film, while his wife Fathima Vijay Antony produces the film.
Vijay plays a sedate software professional Dinesh with a beautiful wife Ishwarya (Arundathi) and mother (Meera Krishnan). The film opens with Dinesh visiting a hypnotherapist to treat the voices he hears inside his head telling him to do things like commit suicide or kill someone.
Hypnosis takes him back to his past life, where a familiar name 'Jayalakshmi' begins to haunt him.
The first half has a lot of suspense, he goes on this search for this mysterious face. Unfortunately, when all the pieces of the puzzle come together, what emerges is not as compelling a picture as promised in the first half.
The screenplay goes from intense and exciting to a rather unremarkable flashback and a lame climax with the hero turning all-powerful to overcome everything real and imaginary in his life.
The terrifying bad guy turns into a stuttering fool and all ends well in typically cinematic fashion.
Yet, at just over two hours, the narrative moves at a frantic pace and there is enough confusion to keep you engaged.
Vijay's music complements the film, maintaining suspense and uncertainty.
For a man stuck in a nightmare, Vijay appears too intense, brooding and mechanical rather than frightened or helpless. His fears don't seem quite so real.
Arundathi Nair gives a good performance as the loving and supportive wife, as does veteran actor Y G Mahendra, in an important role as Vijay's boss.
Things are pretty chaotic at the beginning and the suspense keeps you engrossed. The director, however, chooses to get overly rational towards the end dissecting and explaining every fear of the unknown and the paranormal taking away all the fun.
The film may not be a well-crafted thriller but the emotionally packed plot filled with love, retribution, forgiveness, jealousy and anger keeps the narrative moving at a brisk pace. This, coupled with the haunting music, makes Saithan a decent watch.

The Weapon Disposal Machine is a utility in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on the Exo Zombies map Carrier. The utility is an arm sticking out of a slot, and the player is able to give the arm their currently equipped weapon. The player will receive either parts for the Fishing Pole, a bottle of alcohol (which when taken gives the player a "drunk" effect to their screen), C4, or credits.

This past Tuesday Susan and I took a drive north from Grand Rapids up into Newaygo County. She grew up in the Fremont area and wanted to check out all of her old haunts. Naturally i had Third Michigan soldiers I was looking for and since it was another gorgeous day in western Michigan off we went.
We drove to the farthest northern limit of the County, to typically rural cemeteries in Barton and Home townships, where I found Dwight Merrill but couldn't find William Bliss. anyway, they were quite a change from my cemetery work in Paris that's for sure! No fancy sculptures or tombstones here. These were all men (and women of course) who began their lives as poor farmers and pretty much ended them the same way. Quiet, remote, with just a hint of melancoly surrounding each small square or rectangle of land which hered together people who had long ago stopped living, laughing, feuding, fighting the land and turned their souls over to whatever god they had chosen for themselves.
From the northeastern part of the County we headed back south, stopping in Denver (Bull cemetery to find Judah Dake, see photo above) and Dayton townships (Jewell cemetery) and finally cruised through Fremont so Susie could see how much had changed. (Everything was so much closer together than she remembered.)
Some flags were already out for the upcoming Memorial holiday and so it made our job of tracking the vets that much easier but still so many stones in such bad condition. . .
Still, it was a grand day to be out and we made the most of it. I hope you did as well.
All in all a great day to be alive!

Faced with the prospect of broad cuts as states fall deeper into deficit, many school districts nationwide can look to at least one positive trend: an easing of the teacher shortage this year.
From Buffalo, N.Y., to the San Francisco Bay Area, a host of cities and states are finding more qualified teachers - at a time when the shortage was expected only to grow more severe.
The economy has played a part, as workers seek more secure jobs and cuts leave fewer positions to fill. Americans' post-Sept. 11 desire for more meaning has driven some to teaching, as well. But a new emphasis on recruiting and retention is also showing encouraging results.
The development is of crucial importance to American education. The success of education reforms across the country - from smaller class sizes to standardized testing - depends largely upon having enough good teachers in the classroom. Indeed, states could lose billions in federal money if they do not meet new teacher standards.
Not every city has had a problem, but the shortages in some areas remain far from over.
"There is still a lot of work to be done," says Mildred Hudson, head of Recruiting New Teachers in Belmont, Mass. But "districts are learning from each other and incorporating lessons learned."
Among the signs of progress:
• Buffalo has reduced its number of uncertified teachers by more than one-third since March. School officials there hope to have every teacher certified by next school year.
• New York City hired more than 8,000 new teachers for this school year, nearly filling a teacher shortage that had persisted for years. And 90 percent of the new teachers were certified, up from 50 percent in 2001.
• Atlanta-area school officials point to Gwinnett County as an indicator of their improving fortunes. Last July, they needed 200 teachers for the coming year. This July, the number was 92.
• Hawaii's Education Department reports 136 teacher vacancies this year, down from more than 400 last year.
• California saw the number of credential waivers it handed out - allowing uncertified Californians to teach as an emergency stopgap - drop by 17 percent between 2000 and 2001. In Oakland, the number of uncertified teachers dropped from 540 in late 1999 to 35 at the start of this school year.
To educators, the trend is encouraging. But they strike a strong note of caution. Chronic shortfalls in teachers for special education, math, and science continue, as do shortages in inner cities and rural areas.
Some places have simply lowered their standards to fill slots, critics add, and even so, the need for teachers remains higher than normal across the board.
The latest figures, however, show improvement.
A study that ranks demand for teachers on a scale of 1 to 5 - 1 being almost no demand and 5 being extremely high - puts 2002 at 3.45, still in the range of a teacher shortage. But last year, the figure was 3.68, the highest in recent memory.
"2001 was a peak year, no doubt about it," says B.J. Bryant of the American Association for Employment in Education in Columbus, Ohio, which compiled the data.
A common thread binds many of the districts that have seen the greatest decline in teacher shortages: a sense of urgency. Through far-flung recruiting, better counseling and support, or significant pay hikes - or sometimes all three - they have put higher priority on getting and keeping qualified teachers.
Here in California, that has meant more state-sponsored incentives for teachers, such as loan forgiveness or helping on a down payment for a house. It has meant ramping up universities to produce 8 percent more credentialed teachers than last year. And it has spawned regional recruiting centers to help people through the credentialing process and support them once they're in classrooms.
IN THE past, states have lured teachers with bonuses and incentives, only to see them flee for better-paying jobs when economic times improve.
Officials here, though, hope the comprehensive system they're creating will generate more committed educators.
The rise in the number of teachers is "equal parts public policy and equal parts economy," says Margaret Fortune, executive director of the Northern California Regional Recruitment Center in Sacramento. "But we will come back into a healthier economy with a larger teacher corps."
She knows she can't afford to be wrong. A 1997 state program limited class sizes in kindergarten through third grade to no more than 20 students per certified teacher. Now the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind law requires that all teachers be "highly qualified" at public schools that get federal money for low-income students.
California still falls short of that standard, risking $1 billion in federal money. As a result, educators here - as elsewhere - are desperate to ensure that the current trend continues, even amid shrinking budgets.
Says recruitment official Ms. Fortune: "To the extent that we prepare more credentialed teachers ... the school district is in a better position to meet federal requirements."
