Across Canada in 2007, 472 known injuries with electric current occurred on the job, and nine fatalities were recorded, according to the Association of Workers' Compensation Board of Canada. The previous year, there were 567 injuries and 20 fatalities. To help lower these statistics, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), a Toronto, Ontario-based developer of standards and codes, recently announced Canada's first standard for workplace electrical safety. CSA's "Z462 Workplace Electrical Safety"standard is designed to help prevent injuries and fatalities arising from the use of electricity on the job by specifying practical requirements for a safer workplace.
"This new Canadian Workplace Electrical Safetystandard will help employers and employees in assessing electrical hazards and in designing safer workspaces around electrical power systems and machinery," says Suzanne Kiraly, president, Standards, Canadian Standards Association. "Standardized best practices such as those outlined in the Z462 standard, combined with proper training and awareness can help minimize the likelihood of injuries and fatalities on the job."
Until now, workplaces in Canada and the United States relied solely on an American standard. Stakeholders in Canada agreed there was a need for a comprehensive Canadian standard that would better specify national requirements. The Z462 standard provides guidance on safety management systems, safe work procedures, and selection of personal protective equipment and other safety devices for persons exposed to hazards associated with energized electrical equipment. It further stipulates procedures for identifying hazardous electrical equipment and for the development of safe work procedures around this equipment.
Furthermore, CSA's Z462 standard sets out requirements for the recognition of "qualified" electrical workers. This recognition of personnel who are considered qualified to perform electrical work is fundamental to the safety precautions established in the standard. It includes an extensive annex that provides guidance material and examples to assist users in implementing an effective electrical safety management system.
The Canadian Workplace Electrical Safetystandard is based on NFPA 70E, "Standard for Electrical Safety for the Workplace." It is intended for use with Parts I, II, and III of the Canadian Electrical Code, and has been harmonized with CAN/CSA-Z460, "Control of Hazardous Energy — Lockout and Other Methods," and CAN/CSA-M421, "Use of Electricity in Mines."
For more information or to purchase a copy of "CSA Z462 WorkplaceElectrical Safety,"visit www.shopcsa.ca, phone CSA Standards at 800-463-6727, or e-mail [email protected] To help the industry understand and apply the standard, CSA also is offering training programs and seminars. Information on training is available at https://learningcentre.csa.ca.

There are some hugely talented artists in video game design, from concept painters to level designers to the people who record the "hghhurrgh" noises your enemies make when you shoot their spleen off. Here are five games that deserve to be hung on the wall of a museum. In a good way.
5. Limbo (2010)
Presented entirely in a black-and-white silhouette style, this strange little platformer is a quiet, arty, affecting triumph in which a boy explores a broken world filled with monsters and odd machines.
4. Blade Runner (1997)
Given how non-futuristic our PCs were in 1997, this 3D adventure game captured an amazing amount of the film's mood. Its Esper photo machine could zoom around corners, too. "He looks familiar…"
3. MotorStorm (2007)
The manly chassis of Sony's PS3 was puffed out to the max by MotorStorm, which stood above early PS3 games in offering properly next-gen draw distances, lighting effects and very dramatic carplosions.
2. Crysis (2007)
For years, when you bought a new PC or graphics card, this was what you loaded up to see what it could do. The jungle world was all but perfect, the lighting and effects capable of taxing the most hardcore gaming machines.
1. Another World (1991)
This visually stunning sci-fi platformer proves you don't need high-end hardware to make something beautiful. The graphics may be 8-bit but the cutscenes and backdrops are genuinely cinematic, and the monsters are genuinely frightening, because it's just a brilliant piece of visual art.

Big is Beautiful
Big is Beautiful
Dell's XPS notebook line-up has mostly been designed with "slim" and "sexy" aspects in mind (not counting the high-end gaming XPS machines before Alienware replaced them). The newer designs however, are somewhat chunky and quite unlike the hip designs of yore.
While they do retain the popular sliver motif, the new design seems to be a tad too cumbersome to lug around. The aesthetics show that Dell did pay close attention to make their notebooks as attractive as possible to counter the chunky build. If big is beautiful, then the Dell XPS has it in spades.
The thick Dell XPS 15 machine which we'll be dissecting in this article comes packing a subwoofer, and we'll share our test findings on how that sounds later in the article. Other changes include a new backlit keyboard and an updated set of ports for all your connectivity. Specs wise, the unit comes with Intel's dual-core Core i5-460M (2.53GHz) processor, 6GB of RAM and NVIDIA's GeForce GT 420M discrete graphics engine.

AUSTIN, Texas – Don't mess with Texas? More like 'don't mess with Andrea Ward.' The sophomore swimmer posted her third school record in as many days as the Gauchos closed out action at the Texas Hall of Fame Invitational on Saturday.
Ward, who had previously set school records in the 100 butterfly and 200 freestyle earlier this weekend, posted her third UCSB record in the 200 butterfly. During the morning's preliminaries, she touched the wall in 1:59.40, which was .04 seconds faster than the previous Gaucho best swam by Jennifer Schwalb in 2005. Ward finished 15th in the evening's finals with a time of 1:59.46.
The Gaucho women finished the meet in seventh place with 258.5 points. The host, Texas, won the meet with 1,762.5 points. The UCSB men finished seventh as well (288.5 points) and the Longhorn men captured first (1,822.5 points).
Andrew Barmann was the first Gaucho in the pool during the evening's finals as he went the distance in the 1650 free. The freshman touched the wall 12th with a season-best mark of 15:47.33.
Ryan Garcia was up next as he represented UCSB in the 200 backstroke. After swimming a season-best time of 1:48.49 in the morning's prelims, Garcia touched 16th in the finals in 1:48.76.
Four UCSB men qualified for the evening's finals in the 100 free after all posting season-bests in the prelims. Chris Peterson placed seventh (43.61) during his morning swim while Kevin Ferguson touched 10th (43.72), Kevin Kuhn was 19th (44.80) and Garrett Thompson was 22nd (44.97).
Presumably, in an attempt to rest the foursome for the 400 free relay, the Gaucho coaches pulled them from the evening's finals, subsequently opening the field so that teammates Alex Campbell and Chase Lemley could log an evening swim. Campbell placed 28th in 45.49 seconds and Lemley took 30th in 45.82 after registering a slightly faster mark of 45.52 seconds in the prelims.
Sophia Yamauchi followed in the 200 breaststroke, in which she took 19th with a season-best clip of 2:14.19.
On the men's end, Evan Simoni placed 15th in the 200 breast (2:03.58). He posted a season-best during the prelims, touching the wall in 2:02.43. Chris Leon (2:05.13) and Tyler Jean (2:06.12) took 22nd and 28th, respectively.
In the men's 200 fly, Max Horrell posted the best Gaucho individual finish of the day, taking ninth and winning his heat in 1:48.14.
UCSB wrapped up the meet with the 400 free relay. The women's team of Emma Hunt, Kendall Neely, Yamauchi and Ward placed 12th in 3:23.79, which is an NCAA 'B' cut.
The rested men's team of Peterson, Kuhn, Thompson and Ferguson posted their best mark of the season, touching the wall in 2:54.43.
The Gauchos will take a break from competition for the rest of the month. They will be back in action on Jan. 21 when they host UNLV at Campus Pool.

I can't believe that it's Thursday evening already. Except that I'm tired. Definitely not tired of genealogy. Definitely not tired of the amazing conversations. Definitely not tired of the sessions. BUT, yes, my mind is tired of trying to process and use all of this wonderful new information, etc.
I forgot to mention that I met Amanda of http://www.amandasathenaeum.com at lunch yesterday and took the time to read some of her earlier postings as well as those about GRIP. Then, Bob sent me an email about saying hi. It's funny. We've talked numerous times but I never mentioned my blog and so I'll have to make sure to specifically say Hi tomorrow.
Sometimes I wish there was a way to slow down Josh. He gave us some great ideas about organizing digitally. Unfortunately, some of it has taken him almost 5 years, and I'm not sure I'll do that. (I'd rather research). But some of his ideas are so simple that it's too bad I didn't think of them. sooner.
Paula spoke on state archives, government records and newspapers. It seems a shame to only put titles to 3 seventy-five minutes talk, but I have so many notes that I just can't summarize them easily tonight. You'll just have to hear Paula some other time; or catch me after I've recovered from the information "stuffed" head.
Dinner tonight was with some friends I made this week and then Elissa Powell (one of the GRIP organizers/directors) sat at our table. I was able to "grill" her about SLIG, Samford, and Boston U, as well as talk about next year's GRIP sessions. Since this was my first institute, I appreciated her time and the information she provided in answer to my questions. I'll write about next year's schedule in the near future. Just not tonight.

Mayor's Office
With school beginning Wednesday, August 18, Mayor Chris Beutler today promoted two efforts aimed at getting students to and from school safely:
"We have numerous roadway projects under way around the City, so drivers need to use caution and patience as the school year begins," Mayor Beutler said. "I urge drivers to allow some extra time over the next couple of weeks while students and their families adapt to their new routines."
Three Lincoln schools received some added safety features this summer:
Goodrich Middle School students will continue to be in attendance at the Dawes Middle School at Colfax Avenue and 52nd Street.
Voluntary one-way pick-up and drop-off driving plans and recommended walking routes are available from school principals and the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: schools).
Pedestrians are encouraged to walk, not run, when crossing streets. Motorists are encouraged to pay attention to the signage in school areas. (A list follows this release).
Except for the new 45 mph school zone at Highway 34 and Fletcher, the speed limit in school zones is 25 mph. LPD has a "no tolerance" policy for enforcing school speed zones, and fines are doubled for speeding in these zones. The fines (not including court costs) for speeding in a school speed zone are:
These signs are installed in areas designated for picking up and dropping off students. Drivers can legally park in these areas for 10 minutes as long as they remain in their vehicles.
These signs are installed in areas designated for school bus loading and unloading. Drivers are prohibited from using these areas when they are picking up or dropping off students.
These signs are installed in areas for safety reasons, and drivers are prohibited from stopping in these areas to pick up or drop off students.
These signs are the same as the "No Stopping Anytime" signs except that they are only in effect during the times stated.
These signs are installed at locations where drivers should expect to see concentrations of children crossing the street. Crossings adjacent to schools also usually have "No Stopping Anytime" signs nearby to allow drivers to better see the children approaching or standing at the curb.

Miriam: I want you to stop stalking overweight women
First of all, this guy is like a stalker, following her around, monitoring her. He's creepy beyond belief. Secondly, this once again, for the millionth time perpetuates the myth that everyone who is overweight is secretly and guilty sneaking ice cream sundaes. We should know by now that weight is much more complex than that. Thirdly, this shit is just sensationalist. I want to save your life? This woman does not look like she is at risk of dying because of a few extra pounds.
Also, why is it always skinny white guys who have discovered the secret of weight loss and are going to teach it to women?
ETA: I haven't looked myself, but I'm hearing that the Feministing comments are best avoided. Which is, sadly, not that surprising.
Renee: It's All Because You Are Fat
Not everything that is wrong with someone has to do with fat. I do have three chronic illnesses that maybe, just maybe, might be making me feel under the weather. These doctors may have the medical expertise to diagnose an illness but they have no idea what it is to live with one on a daily basis. The fact that they could even suggest that a lack of will stops patients from participating in behaviour that might have the potential to improve health only proves how disconnected they are from how the pain truly affects the body.
Michelle: All women are real
It pissed me off. And because this is my blog, I'm about to tell you why.
First, because it's fucking patronizing.
Second, because it's a sneaky little divide-and-conquer strategy, of the type commonly used to pit women against other women.
Third, because we're ALL real women, you fuckwad.
Michelle's awesomeness notwithstanding, a new study of dietetic students (with a small sample size, so take it with a grain of salt, but still) shows:
- More than 40 percent of students reported that they believe obese individuals are lazy, lacking in willpower and are self-indulgent.
- The majority of students surveyed also agreed that obese individuals have poor self-control, overeat, are insecure and have low self-esteem.
- Students rated obese patients as being significantly less likely to comply with treatment recommendations and as having worse diet quality and health status compared with thinner patients, despite the fact that all patients were described as healthy adults.
- Only 2 percent of students demonstrated positive or neutral attitudes toward obese individuals.
In happier news, HAES UK is launching on May 9!
HAES UK is a UK-based organisation whose membership is open to all who support its mission. HAES UK supports the Health at Every Size (HAES) approach as an effective, ethical and evidence-based approach to healthcare policy, practice and research. HAES UK is committed to challenging weight-based discrimination which is considered to be disrespectful and harmful to individual and community well-being.
Via Fat Chic via Fatshionista on Twitter, designer Rachel Roy has Tweeted:

Send those requests via Roy's site.
And finally, the book is out in Australia and New Zealand! I heard from a reader in Melbourne this morning:
Have started reading it and love it already. I bought it from a Dymocks (chain of independent book stores…if that makes sense!) in Melbourne city, and they had a lot of them on face-out display.
FACE-OUT DISPLAY, Y'ALL! I can cross that off the list of all-time fantasies, even if I never get to see it. (Hey, if you do see the book face-out somewhere, either edition, would you send us a pic?) One more sleep until it's out here!
Oh, and hey, our book site — which can be reached via fatosphere.com, screwinnerbeauty.com, and kateandmarianne.com — is live, though there's not much there you don't already know. You can also follow fatospherebook on Twitter for updates on upcoming events and media appearances, and/or join our Facebook group.

Not always seen as the most partner-friendly cloud provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS) today took a key step toward trying to reverse that perception.
The company has formed the AWS Partner Network, a program aimed at supporting a wide cross-section of partners, including ISVs, third-party cloud providers (including SaaS and PaaS), systems integrators, consulting firms and managed services providers (MSPs).
"Partners are an integral part of the AWS ecosystem as they enable customers and help them scale their business globally," said AWS technology evangelist Jinesh Varia in a blog post announcing the new program. "Some of our greatest wins, particularly with enterprises, have been influenced by our partners. This new global program is focused on providing members of the AWS partner ecosystem with the technical information, and sales and marketing support they need to accelerate their AWS-based businesses."
The move comes as one of AWS' largest rivals, Rackspace Hosting, has expanded its partner program this year amidst the growing influence of the OpenStack Project it has championed.
But Amazon's actions also reflect the unrelenting growth of its cloud business, which will need experienced partners to help expand its footprint. In the latest measure of how expansive AWS is becoming, one estimate suggests it is carrying 1 percent of Internet traffic, according to a report in Wired today. Citing a study by startup DeepField Networks and some of its network provider partners, Wired determined one-third of all Internet users will access content or data residing on at least one AWS cloud.
To cover the various constituencies, Amazon has created two partner categories: technology and consulting. Depending on the requirements they meet, partners will qualify for one of three tiers: registered, standard and advanced. Certified partners will be able to display an AWS logo and receive a listing in the AWS Partner Directory and $1,000 credits for service and premium support.
The program is currently in beta and Amazon plans to have it up and running later in the year, though existing partners can prequalify for the standard and advance tiers now. To do so, partners must submit Amazon's APN Upgrade form.

1. For straight hair: Use a wide-tooth comb to comb the hair. It is suggested to comb the ends first, then the body, and comb from the roots to the ends lastly.
2. If you comb from the roots to the ends directly, it will cause shedding.
3. For wavy or curly hair: The best comb is your fingers when you comb the wavy or curly hair . Also comb the ends first.
Tips: The hair easily gets tangled when you try to open the weft. Do not open it brutally. It is suggested that you comb the hair gently to detangle the hair while you open the weft.
1. Be ready for everything and wet the hair with warm water.

Welcome to TD HAIR !
Q: What type of hair care products should I use?
A:Treat this hair as if it was your own hair. Use good quality shampoo and conditioning products. Conditioning your hair is very important to keep it soft and manageable, so use leave in conditioners. You can also use products like gel and hair spray to keep hair style, but make sure to wash your hair and not leave in these products in for a long time. Recommended shampoos and conditioners: Pantene PROV For treatment and every day use: Olive Oil Hair Polisher.
Q: Why the colors don't seem exactly as the pictures show or description says?
A: Different monitor have different display. The same color number may have a little color difference. You could dye the hair if you need different color.
Q: Can they be straightened or curled?
A: Yes, you could use hair straighter or hair curler to style the hair. However, don't do it too frequently, or the heat will make the hair easily get dry and tangled.
Q: Can I dye or color the hair?
A: Yes. The hair can be colored. As a general rule, it is easier to darken the hair than to lighten the hair. We recommend dying darker, since it is difficult for the original color to fade. We highly recommend having your hairdresser dye the extensions. Coloring by yourself will take a risk of not coming out the shade you want.. If you can't get to a salon, please always use good quality product and test a small simple first.
Q: How to tell human hair with synthetic hair?
A: Human hair has natural protein, it is easy to tell by burning and smell: Human hair will be ash, which will go wavy after pinching; Human hair will smell foul. When burning the human hair will show white smoke. While synthetic hair will be a sticky ball after burning and will show black smoke. Virgin Brazilian curly hair. Moreover, human hair may have very little grey hair and split ends. It is normal and not a quality problem.
Q: Why are my hair extensions getting tangled?
A: Your hair extensions can tangle due to dryness, oil dirt buildup, salt water, chlorine and not combing (wide tooth comb) out your hair daily Make sure to wash & condition your hair at least once a week, twice a week is better. Use hydrating drops or consult your stylist for more help. It could also be the hair you purchased. If the hair is Indian Remy hair or non remy hair it is not 100% virgin human hair. So the hair may tangle sooner and not last you as long as 100% virgin hair
Q: How long does it last?
A: This hair can last for a very long time depending on how you maintain it. Treat it like your own hair and take very good care of it for it to last longer. Many hair extensions prefer Brazilian or Indian hair because it is beautiful and unprocessed which makes it last longer than any other kind of hair.
Q: Why does my hair shed badly?
A: Generally, the weft doesn't shed. You can check it before you install. But some hair maybe shed after you install, you may ask why. First, some persons like narrow-toothed-comb. If you don't comb your hair gently, it will shed easily. Second, if you cut the weft many times when you install the hair, the hair will shed easily from the place where you cut. You'd better put some glue in the cut edge.

Berry moved to 12th place on Harvard's all-time scoring list with 19 points at Providence (Gil Talbot).
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Victoria Lippert scored 20 points and Brogan Berry added 19 as the Harvard women's basketball team fell 71-60 Friday night at Providence.
Lippert was 8-of-12 from the floor including a 3-of-5 performance from three-point range. Berry made 7-of-14 and was 4-of-5 at the line, dishing out five assists while playing all 40 minutes. Berry's 19 points moved her to 12th place on Harvard's career scoring list, where she now stands with 1,116. Christine Clark turned in 10 points as the Crimson (0-3) combined to shoot 47.9 percent on the night.
Providence (1-2) was led by Rachel Barnes' 22 points and Symone Roberts' 14. The Friars took advantage of 22 Harvard turnovers, scoring 26 points off those turnovers and holding a 38-18 advantage in the paint.
Scoring was at a premium early in the game as Providence held a slight 6-5 lead at the first media timeout. Harvard took a 7-6 advantage on Lippert's first bucket and went on top 11-8 on a jumper by Berry with 12:53 to play. Berry later put the Crimson up 18-17 with a three-pointer, as she began the game a perfect 4-of-4 from the floor with one assist to account for 12 of Harvard's first 18 points.
The teams traded baskets over the final eight minutes of the half with Lippert twice giving Harvard a lead from behind the arc. The Friar's closed out the frame on an 8-2 run following Lippert's second three, however, to take a 33-30 margin into the locker room.
The Crimson shot 60.0 percent in the first half, connecting on 12-of-20 attempts from the floor and 3-of-5 from three. Lippert led all scorers with 11 points while Berry netted 10 and dished out three assists. Both teams struggled with ball security, as Providence held a 12-9 advantage in turnovers and the teams combined to score 25 points off the mistakes.
Providence hit on its first two possessions out of the intermission to extend the run to 12-2 and take a 37-30 lead. Lippert connected on her third three-pointer to end the stretch and after Clark's baseline drive, Harvard's deficit was cut to three, 39-36. Missy Mullins put back her own miss to move the score to 42-40, but Rachel Barnes' three with 12:09 on the clock began an 18-6 run which put the Friars in front for good, 60-46.
Harvard pulled to within eight off an Emma Golen layup and two possessions later the junior made it a six-point game, 66-60, at the free-throw line. Providence added five points in the final minute, however, to hold on for the 71-60 win.
The Crimson will open its home schedule Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. versus Rhode Island. Fans who can't make it to Cambridge for Tuesday's game can watch all of the action live through GoCrimson.com by clicking here.

BALTIMORE- The UMBC men's lacrosse team scored five unanswered fourth-quarter goals and rallied to defeat No. 4 Maryland, 8-7, at UMBC Stadium.
Sophomore face-off specialist Phil Poe (Harwood,Md./DeMatha) controlled 15 of 19 draws in the contest against a team that entered the game at 61.4 percent.
"[We were] determined to do whatever it took to win this game," head coach Don Zimmerman said. " I couldn't be prouder of this team. They've worked hard. Their attitude is outstanding-we've had some tough losses but this is certainly a well deserved win against a quality Maryland team."
The Retrievers (2-2) entered the fourth quarter trailing, 6-3, but junior midfielder Scott Hopmann (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's) scored his first goal of the season just 3:41 into the period. Sophomore midfielder Conor Finch (Westminster, Md./Boys' Latin), who assisted on Hopmann's goal, scored an unassisted tally at the 5:36 mark, and UMBC tied the game five seconds later, as Poe won the ensuing draw, raced down the middle of the field and beat Maryland netminder Niko Amato with a bounce shot from eight yards out.
Held off the scoreboard in the first half, UMBC junior attackman Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C.) scored the go-ahead goal at the 8:17 mark of the final quarter and added an insurance goal 35 seconds later. Finch set him up perfectly with a dodge and feed on the seventh goal and the eighth score came from a sharp left- side angle on a man-up opportunity.
Maryland junior midfielder John Haus brought the visitors to within 8-7 dodging from behind and scoring an unassisted goal with 1:31 remaining. The Terrapins won the ensuing draw and came down four-on-three, but junior netminder Adam Cohen (Arnold, Md./Severn) stopped attackman Owen Blye's close range effort.
Maryland had one final chance, but were called for illegal procedure and turned the ball over with 23 seconds remaining.
Jones led UMBC with two goals and one assist, while Finch posted his first three points of the season with a goal and two helpers, all in the fourth quarter. Sophomore midfielder Zach Linkous added two goals for UMBC.
Haus and Blye led the Terrapins with two goals each.
Maryland jumped out to a 3-0 lead seven minutes into the contest. Linkous scored back-to-back goals to bring UMBC to within 3-2 at the mid-point of the second quarter, but the Terrapins countered with two scores in the final 2:07 of the half to take a 5-2 lead to intermission.
Each team scored once in the third quarter to set the stage for UMBC's comeback.
The Terrapins outshot UMBC, 30-25, but Cohen made six of his eight saves in the fourth quarter. Amato made four saves, all in the second quarter, for the visitors. Buoyed by its face-off success, UMBC captured 40 ground balls to 22 for the visitors.
In its first two home games, UMBC rallied from multiple goal deficits to tie the game in the fourth quarter, but lost by a combined three goals, including Saturday's 10-9 overtime setback vs. Fairfield.
UMBC has now won four of its last six meetings with the Terrapins.
The Retrievers now take on No. 2 Johns Hopkins at the Konica-Minolta Face-Off Classic at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday, March 10.

In today's episode of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Korio8 wonders if anyone else prefers subtitles in their video games, even if they can hear every spoken word perfectly.
Do most of you people have the subtitles turned on when gaming?
It has become my habit to watch movies or play games with subtitles since I started anime. I'd feel uncomfortable without them, quite lost, even though I understand every single line of what they say.
So what about you guys?
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have a forum on Kotaku called Speak Up. That's the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Every weekday we'll pull one of the best Speak Up posts we can find and highlight it here.

EWG strongly opposes legislation designed to cripple the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to carry out its essential functions, including S. 543, the EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act of 2015.
Dietary guidelines need to inform consumers of the dangers of mercury in certain seafood and provide clear labeling of added sugars in food. These are key elements for establishing effective guidelines that promote healthy, sustainable diets.
We the undersigned organizations strongly urge the Environmental Protection Agency to weigh heavily the decision last week by the World Health Organization to categorize glyphosate (trade name "Roundup®") as "probably carcinogenic to humans"

Testimony of Kenneth Cook
Environmental Working Group
On S. 697
Before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
March 18, 2015
Thank you for the opportunity to testify. My name is Kenneth Cook and I am the President and co-founder of Environmental Working Group.
Scott Faber, senior vice president of government affairs for the Environmental Working Group, testified Dec. 10 before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health against H.R. 4432, the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act. The legislation would deny Americans the right to know what's in their food and how it is grown. It would preempt state laws that require labeling of genetically engineered foods. Faber spoke on behalf of Just Label It, a coalition of more than 700 businesses and organizations dedicated to mandatory GE labeling.
EWG and 18,444 EWG supporters ask the Food and Drug Administration Risk Communication Advisory Committee to improve new draft advice on seafood consumption during pregnancy and childhood.

Zimmick's career night helped the Crimson remain perfect at home (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – It took longer than usual but the result was the same as the Harvard men's volleyball team defeated Sacred Heart Wednesday night, 3-1, to remain unbeaten at home.
The Crimson (12-4, 6-3 EIVA) won its 10th straight match at the Malkin Athletic Center and fifth of the year by set scores of 25-16, 25-16, 21-25 and 31-29. This marked the first time all season and only the second time during its win streak that Harvard did not finish off its opponent in straight sets.
Nick Madden, Branden Clemens and DJ White each finished the night with double-digit kills, with Madden's 16 kills and .438 hitting percentage leading the way. Clemens chipped in 13 kills and a .435 hitting percentage as White added 10 kills while hitting .308. Rob Lothman dished out 46 assists as the Crimson combined to hit .389, marking the sixth time this season that Harvard has hit above .300 for a match.
The Crimson received strong play from its defense as well, holding Sacred Heart (2-14, 1-8 EIVA) to a .169 hitting percentage thanks in part to 13 total blocks. Caleb Zimmick led the charge with a career-high tying nine blocks while Clemens added four. Seven different members of Harvard's lineup registered at least one block on the night, with six notching at least two. Chris Gibbons added 12 digs to the defensive efforts with Clemens and Madden each chipping in eight.
Harvard jumped out to an 8-4 lead in the first set and extended its margin to seven, 16-9, on back-to-back kills from Madden and White. The Pioneers edged closer, bringing the score to 20-15, but not before Kyle Rehkemper could give the Crimson set point with a pair of aces, 25-16.
Harvard picked up in the second set where it left off in the first, opening an 11-3 lead right off the bat after Clemens, Zimmick and Lothman teams up for four blocks in a span of five points. A kill by Clemens put the score at 20-12 and yet another block, this time by Zimmick and White, gave the Crimson match point, 25-16.
Sacred Heart rallied to upset the host in the third set, 25-21, setting up a see-saw fourth frame. Harvard led early, 8-4, but the Pioneers battled back to take a 13-12 advantage. After six tied scores and three lead changes, Sacred Heart held a 23-11 margin heading into the stretch run. Consecutive errors by the Pioneers evented the score at 23, but Sacred Heart earned a shot at match point thanks to a Crimson blocking error, 24-23. The teams went back and forth for 12 more points until Harvard finally gained the upper hand, scoring match point following a Madden kill and Pioneer error, 31-29.
Harvard will now head out west for three matches in California. The Crimson will first take on No. 11 UC Santa Barabara Friday, March 15 at 10 p.m. before facing No. 12 Cal Baptist and Concordia on Monday and Tuesday.

Trying to think of a subject for this post was a little difficult. As you'll read later, almost all of the cards I send now have some message of "peace" or international harmony, or some message similar to these.
Now I purchase cards, and we send out about 80 or so. I look for cards that say "Peace", or have a holiday message in various languages, or that show international flags, country costumes, or other international symbols. I still write notes in most of the cards. This is the time I write notes to many friends that we don't see regularly but like to know how they are doing.
We have sent cards every year since 1964. In the 1970s I made cards by hand painting on felt. Later Walt and I silk screened the cards, on paper, with a different design each year. I learned how to actually make the screen. The cards were laid out on the kitchen floor to dry, since we usually made about 150. Even then on each card I would write a personal note, except for the cards sent to work associates that we saw regularly.
Oh, yes. We always have, and we still do, display all of the cards we receive. We don't just pile them in a basket. They are taped to some cabinet doors in a hall so that we can see all of the fronts. Since this hall connects the living room and kitchen to the bedrooms, we pass the display many times each day. I just love the variety, color, and thought of each card. What a wonderful way to easily think of others during this busy month!!

Mondial expands the idea of what road cycling is and what the sport can be. Featuring incisive longform writing and stunning photography, in Mondial you will find familiar cycling topics given a fresh new treatment, while a cycling viewpoint is brought to wider cultural subjects, thus broadening the sport's reference points.
Issue 004 brings readers face to face with the showmasters of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the sporting pariah turned multibillion-dollar global phenomenon.

A lot of folks have asked me to debunk the recent anti-truthful Wall Street Journal article with the counterfactual headline, "No Need to Panic About Global Warming." I'll combine my debunking with the rapidly growing list of debunkings from scientists and others. And I'll update this as new debunkings come in.
That the WSJ would publish an amateurish collection of falsehoods and half truths is no surprise. The entire global Murdoch enterprise is designed to advance the pollutocrat do-nothing agenda (see Scientist: "The Murdoch Media Empire Has Cost Humanity Perhaps One or Two Decades in Battle Against Climate Change"). As National Academy of Sciences member Peter Gleick explains in his evisceration of the piece, "Remarkable Editorial Bias on Climate Science at the Wall Street Journal":
But the most amazing and telling evidence of the bias of the Wall Street Journal in this field is the fact that 255 members of the United States National Academy of Sciences wrote a comparable (but scientifically accurate) essay on the realities of climate change and on the need for improved and serious public debate around the issue, offered it to the Wall Street Journal, and were turned down. The National Academy of Sciences is the nation's pre-eminent independent scientific organizations. Its members are among the most respected in the world in their fields. Yet the Journal wouldn't publish this letter, from more than 15 times as many top scientists. Instead they chose to publish an error-filled and misleading piece on climate because some so-called experts aligned with their bias signed it. This may be good politics for them, but it is bad science and it is bad for the nation.
Science magazine — perhaps the nation's most important journal on scientific issues — published the letter from the NAS members after the Journal turned it down.
A tad more surprising is that 16 admittedly non-leading scientists would choose to soil their reputations by stringing together a collection of long-debunked falsehoods. What is surprising is that these falsehoods are more easily debunked than the typical disinformer clap-trap because they are so out-of-date!
Guys, if you're going to push disinformation, you have to do better than this:
Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 "Climategate" email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't"….
The lack of warming for more than a decade — indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections — suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause.
Well, as the chart above shows, the last 10 years were easily the hottest on record. As the Union of Concerned Scientists debunking notes, "2011 was the 35th year in a row in which global temperatures were above the historical average and 2010 and 2005 were the warmest years on record." Doh!
And apparently these guys missed the news that last year's Koch-Funded and Skeptic-Led Study Finds Recent Warming "On the High End" and Speeding Up. The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Study (BEST) concluded:
… we find that the global land mean temperature has increased by 0.911 ± 0.042 C since the 1950s…. our analysis suggests a degree of global land-surface warming during the anthropogenic era that is consistent with prior work (e.g. NOAA) but on the high end of the existing range of reconstruction.
Double Doh!
Then again, what do you expect from a list of 16 scientists that include:
- Richard Lindzen, one of the most debunked climate scientists in the world (see Lindzen debunked again: New scientific study finds his paper downplaying dangers of human-caused warming is "seriously in error": Trenberth: The flaws in Lindzen-Choi paper "have all the appearance of the authors having contrived to get the answer they got"). See also Kerry Emanuel slams media, asserts Lindzen charge in Boston Globe is "pure fabrication."
- William Happer, physicist, Chairman of the Board of a leading disinformer think-tank George Marshall Institute, heavily funded by Exxon Mobil and other anti-science funders.
- Roger Cohen, Former manager for Strategic Planning and Programs ExxonMobil Corporation, now a George Marshall Institute 'expert'.
- Harrison H. Schmitt, geologist and astronaut, who believes enviros and climate scientists like Holdren are communists.
This gang that couldn't shoot straight assert "it is likely that more CO2 and the modest warming that may come with it will be an overall benefit to the planet." In fact, as Fatih Birol, the chief economist for the International Energy Agency explained last year, the world is on pace for 11°F warming, and "Even School Children Know This Will Have Catastrophic Implications for All of Us."
Yes, even school children know more than these guys!
They utterly misrepresent the work of serious climatologists like Kevin Trenberth. Anybody who is actually paying attention to real science knows Trenberth explained 2 years ago that the way the disinformers were quoting him was nonsense, and they know recent analysis has done a good job of identifying where the "missing" warming went — the deep oceans (see my 9/11 post "Hottest Decade on Record Would Have Been Even Hotter But for Deep Oceans — Accelerated Warming May Be On Its Way"). Let's go through this one more time.
As Trenberth explained back in 2009, we have a vast amount of evidence that "global warming is continuing":
But Trenberth, who acknowledged the e-mail is genuine, says bloggers are missing the point he's making in the e-mail by not reading the article cited in it. That article — An Imperative for Climate Change Planning (.pdf) — actually says that global warming is continuing, despite random temperature variations that would seem to suggest otherwise.
"It says we don't have an observing system adequate to track it, but there are all other kinds of signs aside from global mean temperatures — including melting of Arctic sea ice and rising sea levels and a lot of other indicators — that global warming is continuing," he says.
In the paper, Trenberth posited the very recent surface temperature data might not be keeping up with the other data showing global warming because of a variety of reasons, most significantly "Was it because the heat was buried in the ocean and sequestered, perhaps well below the surface?" The answer to that appears to be "yes."
The key point from recent observation is that whatever slight slowing in global warming some groups may have observed in the past decade, it was primarily in the surface temperature data set. The oceans kept warming (see "Sorry Deniers, the Oceans are Still Warming as Predicted"):
Figure 1: Revised estimate of global ocean heat content (10–1500 mtrs deep) for 2005–2010 derived from Argo measurements. The 6-yr trend accounts for 0.55±0.10Wm−2. Error bars and trend uncertainties exclude errors induced by remaining systematic errors in the global observing system. See Von Schuckmann & Le Traon (2011). Via Skeptical Science.
It is worth adding that Trenberth signed the Must Read Bali Climate Declaration by Leading Scientists, which opens:
The 2007 IPCC report, compiled by several hundred climate scientists, has unequivocally concluded that our climate is warming rapidly, and that we are now at least 90% certain that this is mostly due to human activities. The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere now far exceeds the natural range of the past 650,000 years, and it is rising very quickly due to human activity. If this trend is not halted soon, many millions of people will be at risk from extreme events such as heat waves, drought, floods and storms, our coasts and cities will be threatened by rising sea levels, and many ecosystems, plants and animal species will be in serious danger of extinction.
One can only dream that we lived in a world where that important declaration by more than 200 of the world's leading climate scientists would get more attention than either stolen emails or the silly sixteen.
The thing about these 16 scientists, the overwhelming majority of whom have no background whatsoever in climate science, is that because they don't know the scientific literature, they are forced to cling to out-of-date claptrap:
In 2003, Dr. Chris de Freitas, the editor of the journal Climate Research, dared to publish a peer-reviewed article with the politically incorrect (but factually correct) conclusion that the recent warming is not unusual in the context of climate changes over the past thousand years.
A nine-year-old paper? Really guys? If you want to know about de Freitas, DeSmogBlog has a great piece, "Skeptics Prefer Pal Review Over Peer Review: Chris de Freitas, Pat Michaels And Their Pals, 1997–2003."
But the key point is that in the past 9 years, there has been a National Academy of Sciences review of the literature and over a dozen independent studies making clear that "Recent global warming is unprecedented in magnitude and speed and cause." Here are a few:
- GRL: "We conclude that the 20th century warming of the incoming intermediate North Atlantic water has had no equivalent during the last thousand years."
- JGR: "The last decades of the past millennium are characterized again by warm temperatures that seem to be unprecedented in the context of the last 1600 years."
- Unprecedented warming in Lake Tanganyika and its impact on humanity (2010)
- Human-caused Arctic warming overtakes 2,000 years of natural cooling, "seminal" study finds (2009):
- Sorry disinformers, hockey stick gets longer, stronger: Earth hotter now than in past 2,000 years (2008)
- Arctic Sea Ice Hockey Stick: Melt Unprecedented in Last 1,450 Years (2011)
The entire op-ed is just a laughable collection of out of date and debunked disinformer talking points.
Or, rather, it would be laughable if it worked for the fact that the Murdoch outlet is using these 16 scientists to help push its do-nothing agenda. Here is the key argument:
The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere's life cycle. Plants do so much better with more CO2 that greenhouse operators often increase the CO2 concentrations by factors of three or four to get better growth. This is no surprise since plants and animals evolved when CO2 concentrations were about 10 times larger than they are today. Better plant varieties, chemical fertilizers and agricultural management contributed to the great increase in agricultural yields of the past century, but part of the increase almost certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere….
A recent study of a wide variety of policy options by Yale economist William Nordhaus showed that nearly the highest benefit-to-cost ratio is achieved for a policy that allows 50 more years of economic growth unimpeded by greenhouse gas controls…. And it is likely that more CO2 and the modest warming that may come with it will be an overall benefit to the planet.
In short, let's do nothing and it'll probably all work out for the best. [I'll deal with Nordhaus in a later post, though it is worth noting now that Nordhaus's most recent paper finds ""Oil and Coal-Fired Power Plants Have Air Pollution Damages Larger Than Their Value Added" and Natural Gas generation damage is larger than its value added for even low CO2 prices.]
In fact, this perspective has already been quite well debunked in the literature. First off, we now know that the totality of impacts of global warming — warming, acidification, extreme weather, Dust-Bowlification — is already showing evidence of harm to the biosphere, biodiversity, and agriculture in particular:
- Oxfam: Extreme Weather Has Helped Push Tens of Millions into "Hunger and Poverty" in "Grim Foretaste" of Warmed World.
- Climate Story of the Year: Warming-Driven Drought and Extreme Weather Emerge as Key Threat to Global Food Security
- NCAR analysis warns we risk multiple, devastating global droughts even on moderate emissions path
Second, the only way we could have modest warming is if we acted aggressively to reduce greenhouse gas emissions starting now. Ironically, or, rather, tragically, the one way to be absolutely certain of high levels of warming and catastrophic impacts is to do nothing for the next several decades, which is clearly what these 16 scientists are promoting. A review of 50 recent studies makes that clear — see "An Illustrated Guide to the Science of Global Warming Impacts: How We Know Inaction Is the Gravest Threat Humanity Faces."
Rather than quoting one economist, Nordhaus, we should listen to the traditionally staid and conservative International Energy Agency in its recent IEA's 2011 World Energy Outlook [WEO]:
"On planned policies, rising fossil energy use will lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic climate change"….
"Delaying action is a false economy: for every $1 of investment in cleaner technology that is avoided in the power sector before 2020, an additional $4.30 would need to be spent after 2020 to compensate for the increased emissions."
I started by saying this piece had a counterfactual headline, "No Need to Panic About Global Warming."
Panic is a sudden sensation of fear which is so strong as to dominate or prevent reason and logical thinking….
It is the authors of the WSJ piece who are panicked because they have allowed their fear of climate action to "dominate or prevent reason and logical thinking." They have abandoned science. Climate scientists and other climate realists like the IEA are not urging panic — quite the opposite, we are urging a reasoned and logical science-based policy response.
The tragedy is that if we listen to Rupert Murdoch's media outlets and the handful of scientists willing to push anti-scientific nonsense, if we keep taking no serious action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, then we make it far more likely that future generations will in fact panic, when they wake up sometime in the 2020s and realize how dire the situation is but how the disinformers have all but ended the possibility for averting catastrophe.

Peter Brookes has an interesting piece on the effort to deny financing to al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist organizations:
"Two weeks ago, six Arabs with suspected al Qaeda links were arrested in Syria carrying $23 million in cash, according to administration officials. (Syria has not confirmed this report.) If true, this is believed to be the largest netting of terrorist bulk cash since the War on Terror began over two years ago.
"The good news is that Syria pickpocketed al Qaeda of $23 million. (Not that having $23 million in the hands of the terror-backing Syrians is a comfort either.) The bad news is that al Qaeda couriers were running around with $23 million in cash to some yet unknown destination.
"That's a lot of scratch, especially considering the previous belief that al Qaeda's operating budget was in the tens of millions of dollars. So this event will either put a crimp in al Qaeda's finances – or its annual budget is a lot bigger than we thought."
News reports make it clear that al Qaeda has gotten into drug trafficking in a major way. (For the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, this may be one more reason not to disrupt their activities.) While drug dealing by terrorists is obviously sinister, it strikes me as a good development. Drug trafficking adds a whole new layer of complexity and danger to financing terrorist operations. It is obviously much easier and safer to receive "charitable contributions" from well-funded Islamic organizations than to endure the hazards of running drugs. The fact that al Qaeda has gotten so heavily into drugs suggests, to me at least, that our efforts to crimp the organization's financing have been pretty successful.

Craig MacTavish Interviews For Head Coaching Job
Craig MacTavish has been interviewed by Minnesota Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher for the vacant head coaching job. MacTavish was also in the running two years ago when Fletcher went for a younger face, Todd Richards. Craig MacTavish coached the Oilers from 2000 to 2009. He got his master's degree in business from Queen's University late last year and he has worked for TSN for the past two seasons.
