Trump Budget Cuts NASA Climate Satellites, Renewable Research
"While Obama was in the White House, Republicans couldnt realize their dream of defunding science.
Scientific American:
In his most recent weekly address, President Trump praised NASAs mission of exploration and discovery and its ability to allow mankind to look to the heavens with wonder and curiosity. But left out of his statements was the work NASA does to peer back at our home planet and unravel its many remaining mysteriesa mission targeted for cuts in his administrations budget outline released earlier this month.
In a budget otherwise scant on specifics, four climate-related NASA satellite missions were proposed for termination, including one already in orbit.
Those missions are aimed not only at helping scientists learn more about key parts of the climate system and how global warming is changing them, but also at practical matters such as monitoring the health of the nations coastal waters and providing earlier warnings of drought stress in crops.
The proposed cancellations mesh with statements made by Trump, administration officials and some members of Congress who have argued that NASA should be focused on outer space and leave the job of observing Earth to other agencies. But NASAs unparalleled experience and expertise in developing new observational technologies and launching satellites makes it a crucial part of the Earth science enterprise, many experts say.
I dont see anybody else who could fill that gap, Adam Sobel, a Columbia University climate scientist, said.
While the budget outline is not the final say, as Congress ultimately controls the purse strings, the proposed cuts are indicative of an undeclared war on climate, as David Titley, director of the Center for Solutions to Weather and Climate Risk at Penn State and a retired rear admiral in the Navy, put it. Eliminating the proposed missions and other climate science funding to save even a few hundred million dollars is short-sighted, given the long tails of climate changes expected impacts in the U.S. and around the world, several scientists said.
I think that those are very, very short-term gains that ignore a coming threat that will endanger American lives and the economy and not in 20 years, but now, Kim Cobb, a coral expert at Georgia Tech, said.
It is shortsighted and not what made our nation great, Gabe Vecchi, a climate scientist at Princeton University, said. It is only through targeted research and sustained monitoring that we can expect to be leaders in weather and climate prediction and understanding.

Scientists start leaving the US, expecting the EU and Asia to become the future science hubs http://spon.de/aeWtW via @SPIEGELONLINE
12:51 PM - 1 Apr 2017
While NASAs overall budget of about $19 billion was cut by less than 1 percent, Earth sciences research was targeted for a larger share of the proposed cuts, losing about 5 percent of its roughly $2 billion budget. The proposed budget, the outline says, focuses the Nations efforts on deep-space exploration rather than Earth-centric research.
The cuts werent as deep as some climate scientists and advocates had feared, but many were surprised that particular missions were singled out.
I did not expect that the president would specifically point at missions that he would like to be eliminated, Emmanuel Boss, the science team lead of the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, said.
PACE and the other three missions singled outthe Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3, the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO), and the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR)cover different aspects of the climate system and are in differing stages of planning and readiness. But all are missions that scientists have been trying to get off the ground for many years, to plug gaps in our understanding of Earths complex climate and how it is changing.
Washington Post:
The Trump administration is aiming a half-billion-dollar cut at the main U.S. hub for renewable energy research 25 percent of the agencys budget, and thats just for the final five months of this federal fiscal year.
Even deeper cuts are expected to be sought for 2018 a possibility that has alarmed researchers in clean energy and even some Republicans in Congress.
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, or EERE, is a $2 billion branch of the Department of Energy. It is credited with helping to drive the rapid expansion of rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle batteries, LED lighting and more.
The proposed $516 million cut for the remainder of fiscal year 2017 was reported earlier this week by E&E News.
The cuts have yet to be approved by Congress, but they remain a clear signal of administration priorities.
The Trump skinny budget proposal for the 2018 fiscal year released earlier this month suggested that intended cuts to EERE could run in the order of $1 billion, according to estimates by some office staffers and knowledgeable observers.
Several staffers said cuts of that magnitude would damage U.S. research and technological competitiveness. They suggested much of the brunt of the cuts could fall on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at Golden, Colo., the countrys leading clean energy research facility.
These are individuals we have in labs throughout the country, and when our funding gets cut, those are postdocs and graduate students and researchers that are gone, said one EERE employee, who, like another in this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not cleared to speak on the record and feared possible retribution for doing so. Theyre doing the research. And they wont have jobs. And we wont be competitive.
Virtually all of the labs federal funding comes from the Department of Energys Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy $273 million out of its total federal budget of $292 million in 2016.
I think overall I would argue that the whole scientific community is a little bit concerned what the direction and what the focus is of this budget and how much it impacts science as a whole, said Martin Keller, the NREL director.
An official at the White House Office of Management and Budget, who was not authorized to speak for attribution, responded to a query about EEREs intended fate in 2018 by stating that the fuller budget in mid-May will contain greater detail.
The budget blueprint represents the administrations top level proposed funding levels. The final proposed FY 2018 budget numbers will become available in May. The budget will then be sent to Congress for review and debate, at which time we will be able to provide more details, added a DOE spokesperson, who was also not authorized to speak for attribution.
Already, Colorados leaders in Congress are pledging to defend their states clean energy laboratory.
Theres no question that we cannot continue on the same trajectory and must identify spending priorities to more efficiently and effectively operate the federal government; however, cutting the research and development done at NREL, where for every $1 of taxpayer money invested through the lab results in $5 of private investment, is not the answer, said Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in a statement to The Washington Post. Congress ultimately controls the power of the purse and I remain committed to putting Colorado interests first.
Science News:
Americans dont hate science. Quite the contrary. In fact, 79 percent of Americans think science has made their lives easier, a 2014 Pew Research Center survey found. More than 60 percent of people also believe that government funding for science is essential to its success.
But should the United States spend more money on scientific research than it already does? A laypersons answer to that question depends on how much that person thinks the government already spends on science, a new study shows. When people find out just how much or rather, how little of the federal budget goes to science, support for more funding suddenly jumps.
Over a dozen county commissioners from Pennsylvanias northern tier are working to organizearound an issue that directly impacts their constituents: natural gas drilling.
Organizers said Harrisburg often neglects the interests of its more far-flung counties. They described their keynote speaker as someone whos gone against that trend York County Republican senator and gubernatorial hopeful, Scott Wagner, has supported natural gas drilling since he was elected.
He also took the stance that climate change is probably happening, thoughciting scientifically unsound evidencehe maintained that the US shouldnt worry too much about emissions.
I havent been in a science class in a long time, but the earth moves closer to the sun every yearyou know the rotation of the earth, Wagner said. Were moving closer to the sun.
He added, We have more people. You know, humans have warm bodies. So is heat coming off? Things are changing, but I think we are, as a society, doing the best we can."

How Your AmeriCorps Experience Can Help You in Graduate School
Today's post originally appeared on September 25, 2012 on Idealist.org blog
This is the last post in our series about finding, applying, and paying for graduate school. Read all of the posts in the series. Be sure to visit our Graduate School Resource Center and attend a free Grad School Fair near you!
In this piece, Adam Donaldson, Member Services Director at the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers,reflects on how his AmeriCorps experience helped him graduate school. Adam graduated in 2006 with a Masters in Public Policy and Nonprofit Management from Johns Hopkins University. Prior to graduate school, Adam committed five years to volunteer service, including AmeriCorps with City Year Columbus '99-'00, Peace Corps Uzbekistan '01, AmeriCorps with City Year Rhode Island '02, and Peace Corps Jamaica '02-'04.
By Adam Donaldson
In 2004, I began a graduate degree program in Public Policy at Johns Hopkins University by attending the prototype university-cafeteria hamburger cook-out. While dodging bees and balancing my paper plate and slippery soda can, I was introduced to faculty and my new classmates. As I went through the jitters of meeting all the new people, I discovered that not one, not two, but several students were AmeriCorps alums – myself included.
Looking back, my academic experience was enriched by the presence of service alumni. The AmeriCorps alums were uniquely prepared for graduate school because 1) they could apply research and theory readily to real-world situations and 2) they had more academic focus triggered by their service experience. During graduate school you learn as much from your peers as the research faculty at the front of the class. In addition to the ubiquitous group exercises, your peers will share independent research and challenge you with their thinking.
I have been lucky enough to complete two terms of service in both City Year, an AmeriCorps program, and Peace Corps. While attending graduate school, I was a Shriver Peaceworker Fellow, a service-learning program that integrates study, community service, and ethical reflection. While studying education and social policy, I was learning in real time how policies effected the high-poverty youth in the mentoring program I lead at my service placement. I was putting new evaluation skills to work on my own program.
Meanwhile, while studying welfare reform I could learn from an AmeriCorps VISTA alum about the challenges of families with no bank or credit history. While studying the difference between direct and block grants, I could learn from an AmeriCorps NCCC alum about the utilization of Homeland Security grants for disaster response. You can claim that my peers' experiences are particular to the Public Policy degree, but I would invite MBAs, engineers, and poets to share how service alumni enriched their academic program.
More and more colleges and graduate schools are looking to match the Education Award in order to attract applicants with service history. Look for these opportunities and other service programs at universities. You will not regret it.

Two central Vermont men are facing charges in a deer-poaching case that sprang from a decoy operation.
State game wardens using a decoy in Royalton last Friday night say shots were fired at it. Wardens stopped a car but no gun was found.
A short time later, wardens found a firearm in a field along the side of the road where they believe it had been tossed by the suspects.
Mikel Brady of Randolph and Joshua Hill of Bethel, both 23, face charges of taking deer in closed season, taking deer by illegal means and possession of a loaded rifle in a motor vehicle.
And wardens say Brady and Hill may face additional charges.

Italian researchers are saying it's possible that the popular social networking site, Facebook, may trigger asthma attacks. Their findings, published in the November 20 issue of The Lancet, are based on a case study of an 18-year-old man.
After being dumped by his girlfriend, the man became depressed when she "un-friended" him on Facebook. Wanting to see what she was up to, he created another account under a different name and became her friend again. However, each time he visited her profile, he experienced shortness of breath.
Doctors asked his mother to measure his peak expiratory flow before and after he viewed her profile which is when they noticed a 20 per cent decline.
Although Facebook itself is not a direct cause of asthma, these new findings suggest that it-and other social networking sites-may be a new generation of triggers for asthma caused by psychological stress. Full story here.

Supermarket workers are set to get a pay rise above the Living Wage after union officials negotiated increases of more than £2 per hour.
The deal between Usdaw and Morrisons would take the basic rate of pay from £6.83 to £8.20 for 90,000 Morrisons workers.
The deal is now subject to a ballot of members, with the union recommending acceptance.
Staff are being briefed about the details today and, subject to a positive ballot result on 12 November, the new rate will be paid from March 2016.
Joanne McGuinness, Usdaw national officer, said: "For some time we have been talking to the company about taking retail staff up to and beyond the Living Wage Foundation rate, currently set at £7.85 an hour.
"So I am delighted that we have agreed a rise that takes staff way past that to £8.20.
"The new consolidated hourly rate is now the highest of the big four supermarkets, which is paid every hour not just when staff work at times that attract premium pay. It is a big step forward, shows that the company are prepared to invest in the staff to help grow the business and I hope that the deal is supported by our members in the ballot."
The pay deal comes after the chain announced it was planning to close 11 stores and sell off it Morrisons Local shops. Hundreds of jobs are set to go as a result.

For those still holding out hope that Tour de France winner Floyd Landis is truly the nice Mennonite boy who feel victim to an unfortunate, accidental circumstance involving testosterone on Jack Daniels, The New York Times has some bad news today.
Tests performed on the cyclist Floyd Landis's initial urine sample showed that some of the testosterone in his body had come from an external source and was not produced by his system, according to a person at the International Cycling Union with knowledge of the results. That finding contradicts what Landis has claimed in his defense.
Now we're just waiting for the second tested sample to come back; if it comes back positive, Landis will be suspended for two years and lose his Tour de France title. And if anything, this whole matter proves just what a great champion Lance Armstrong was. Seven titles, and he was never once caught doping, though, of course, everyone in cycling is doping. That's the truly impressive achievement; Landis couldn't even pull it off once.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Bonnaroo is the spark that brought the summer music festival back in fashion. Spread out over four days in June on a 700-acre farm in Tennessee, what once began as a folk festival has expanded to include acts as legendary as Kanye West, Radiohead, and Bruce Springsteen. Bonnaroo can be overwhelming for a first timer, but our seasoned festival goers have created a guide to help you navigate like a pro.
What to Wear
With shows all day and all night, there won't be much time for wardrobe changes between sets. Destroyed festival shorties and a bright colored sweater tank are two pieces that work for anything and everything Bonnaroo has to offer. We recommend layering a bright bikini underneath to help you stay cool when the sun gets hot. Keep things festival-friendly with bold, boho accessories like a beaded headband and statement necklace. Fringed booties and a studded backpack add a little edge to finish off the look.

In Dreams
In Dreams is a song sung in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring during the track The Breaking Of The Fellowship composed by Howard Shore and Fran Walsh, and sung by Edward Ross. The tune bears a remarkable resemblance to the traditional hymn "This is my Father's world", and the opening musical phrase is identical. The tune is often played as a "Hobbit" or "Shire" theme throughout the film.
The words are in English and follow here.
[edit] Lyrics
When the cold of Winter comes
Starless nights will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain
But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again
When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again

The Citigroup Clique
Why is Obama appointing so many former employees of one Wall St. bank?
Today, I cast my vote on the Senate Banking Committee for Stanley Fischer to serve in the No. 2 position at the U.S. Federal Reserve. I asked Fischer tough questions – in person, at his nomination hearing, and in writing – and I have been impressed with the depth of his knowledge and experience.
But I cast my vote reluctantly because of my growing frustration over the concentration of people with ties to the megabank Citigroup in senior government positions.
Story Continued Below
In recent years, Wall Street institutions have exerted extraordinary influence in Washington's corridors of power, but Citi has risen above the others in exercising a tight grip over the Democratic Party's economic policymaking apparatus. Fischer, after all, is just the latest Citi alumnus to be tapped for a high-level government position. Starting with Robert Rubin – a former Citi CEO – three of the last four Treasury secretaries under Democratic presidents have had Citigroup affiliations before or after their Treasury service. (The fourth was offered, but declined, Citigroup's CEO position.) Directors of the National Economic Council and Office of Management and Budget, as well as our current U.S. trade representative, also have had strong ties to Citigroup.
No one doubts that there are smart, hard-working people at Citigroup and elsewhere in the financial industry. When I worked to set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I interviewed, hired and worked alongside many people with private-sector experience. Private-sector experience can be valuable and should not disqualify someone from serving in the upper levels of government.
But there is danger anytime the key economic positions in our government fall under the control of a single tight-knit group. Old ideas can stay around long after they're useful, and new ideas don't get a fair hearing. We learned about the harms of groupthink in economic policymaking the hard way – first with the deregulation of the banking industry in the 1980s and 1990s, followed by the no-strings-attached bank bailouts in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, and most recently with the anemic efforts to help homeowners who were systematically cheated by financial giants.
The power of a tight group of insiders can also echo through the government in subtle ways. No one likes to ignore telephone calls from former colleagues, and no one likes to advance policies that could hurt future employers. Relationships matter, and anyone who doubts that Wall Street's outsized influence in Washington has watered down our government's approach toward still-too big-to-fail banks has their eyes deliberately closed.

The 2012 class of National Board Certified Teachers was recognized on Monday as reaching the profession's "gold standard," Gannett's Haley Viccaro reports.
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards named 156 New York teachers as reaching the status of master teacher. They were honored for being the best in the state based on their work and commitment in their classrooms and communities.
"To achieve national certification, these teachers demonstrated they are among the very best in a state that can already boast it has the most highly educated, highly experienced and dedicated teachers in the nation," said Richard Iannuzzi,president of the New York State United Teachers, a statewide union, in a statement.
The newly selected National Board Certified Teachers spent about 200 to 400 hours having their classroom skills judged against very high standards, NYSUT Vice President Maria Neira said in a statement.
Teacher candidates for national certification were required to provide teaching portfolios, student work samples and analyses of their teaching. They were judged on how well they know their subject area and how effectively they teach it.
"All of these talented teachers have shown a remarkable commitment to improving their practice and helping their students climb the ladder to college and career readiness," State Education Commissioner John King said in a statement.
Teachers that received certification included about two-dozen from the Poughkeepsie area, a number from the Rochester area and others throughout the state. This year the number of teachers reaching the "gold standard" grew to 1,458.
Here is the list of New York teachers receiving the honor this year:

A quartet of esteemed esquires concluded during the closing panel of the first day of the NAPA 401(k) Summit 2014 Sunday that the retirement business is on the verge of seismic change.
The evolving nature of fiduciary responsibility, the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on retirement and the likelihood of upcoming DOL regulations that will require employers to inform workers of the financial requirements of a sound retirement will conspire to create a retirement landscape very different from the one currently in place.
"We are at an inflection point," said Marsha S. Wagner, president and founder of The Wagner Law Group, a thought echoed by Douglas Fisher, senior vice president of policy development, Fidelity Investments.
"The cruel joke of our retirement system" is that "we don't tell (workers) how much they need to retire," Fred Reish, a partner at Drinker Biddle & Reath, told conference attendees. He said that he believes the Department of Labor later this year will set in motion the start of creating regulations that will require employers to tell their workers how much they need to retire.
"That will bring up a discussion of replacement rates," he said. Some will say 80 percent of current income and others might say 70 percent, he said. "How will we close the gap?" he continued. "You guys," he said, as he pointed to his audience, "will be doing gap analyses till they're coming out of your ears."
Fidelity recently released "a pretty grim report," said Fisher, who reported that the average household is on track to achieve 71 percent of its retirement needs. "We are talking about the economic survival … of retirement."
Reish said he believed that regulations might be finalized 18 months from now.
The panel also discussed the implications of the PPACA. "There will be anticipated and unanticipated effects," said Wagner. "Now that employees have permission to buy elsewhere, that will lead to employee mobility."
Fisher stated that "individuals will make more of the buying and spending decisions," while Reish said that "if we get past the next five years of burdens," there will be a dramatic shift in freedom of movement. "The value of an employees will be the value of their mind," he told attendees.
Another area of concern was the distinct possibility that advisors will soon be handed fiduciary responsibility.
Plan sponsors have become more aware of their responsibilities," said Rebecca Kaplan, fiduciary compliance consultant, Angell Pension Group. "Now you can outsource your responsibilities. (As a result), plan sponsors are starting to believe they don't have any continued responsibilities. But they do."
"I think it's fantastic that there are vendors out there willing to help plan sponsors (but) plan sponsors have to know what they are buying," said Wagner. "You need a fiduciary service agreement."

Businesses with significant stakes in the outcome of climate and energy legislation ramped up lobbying spending earlier this year as they worked to shape the Senate bill scheduled to be unveiled this week.
Electric utilities and the coal, chemical and natural gas industries in particular boosted influence efforts and appear poised to receive key parts of what they sought in new climate policies.
Utilities and coal are likely to see language that lets power plants escape most penalties for greenhouse gas emissions in the early years of a carbon restriction program, according to those familiar with the draft legislation. Chemical companies could garner a delay in having to comply with new rules. Natural gas hopes to win incentives that would help companies increase their share of the energy market.
"Energy legislation is huge," said Ken Green, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank that favors free market policies. "The entire coal industry could be wiped out. Natural gas could have huge gains. One sector has the incentive to defend itself by spending money. Another sector has the incentive to enrich itself by spending money."
Influence spending in the energy sector grew 25 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared with the same period last year, an analysis of disclosure reports shows. The lobbying spending came as Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) worked on legislation seen as a last chance to pass a climate bill this congressional session. Kerry and Lieberman are scheduled to release the bill Wednesday without Graham (see related story).
Regardless of what happens this week or this year, the businesses that paid lobbyists to talk to lawmakers believe that eventually Congress will pass policies that will regulate carbon emissions. In addition to making their interests clear on that, many of those businesses also advocated for and against related energy policies under consideration including a U.S. EPA plan to regulate the companies emitting the largest amounts of greenhouse gas pollution.
When Congress is considering legislation on something that affects so much of the economy, Green said, "you'd expect them to have the full attention of the companies involved and having them lobby for a piece of the pie."
E&E examined spending for 10 industries potentially most affected by climate and energy legislation: oil and gas, electric utilities, chemical and related manufacturing, agricultural services and products, alternative energy, mining, coal, environmental groups, forestry and forest products, and natural gas. The industry data was compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The $159 million spent by those sectors in the first quarter of 2010 includes lobbying on issues beyond energy. Companies also talked to lawmakers, their aides and the administration about a host of other policies including taxes, trade, financial reform, labor issues, health care and how money from last year's stimulus law will be distributed.
For many of the energy companies, a potential climate bill was a priority. Electric utilities, coal, chemicals and natural gas companies pushed forcefully.
Coal mining companies and their trade group in the first quarter spent 61 percent more on lobbying than they did a year earlier. The natural gas industry increased lobbying spending 33 percent. Chemical companies doled out nearly 27 percent more. Utility companies and their trade group spent nearly 90 percent more than in the early months of 2009, although a large portion of that increase stemmed from California's PG&E Corp. paying to fund a state ballot measure.
Oil and gas interests, alternative energy businesses, forest and forestry product companies and others in the energy sector also poured millions of dollars into influence efforts, though not at the same pace as they spent money in first quarter 2009.
"For all of these industries, lobbying would mean the difference between getting preferential treatment in a climate bill and not," said Tyson Slocum, director of watchdog group Public Citizen's Energy Program. "What's at stake is the difference between coming out ahead in the climate bill or breaking even or losing.
Utility 'army'
The Kerry-Lieberman bill is expected to require that by 2020, emissions levels fall 17 percent below 2005 levels, with emissions limits applying in different ways to power plants, petroleum refiners and manufacturers that use high amounts of fuel like chemical companies and paper manufacturers.
Those familiar with the legislation have said that it will give utilities -- which account for about 40 percent of annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions -- more free emissions allowances than they received under the House bill passed last June. In addition, it is expected to include language those utilities have long argued for, a kind of top price for emissions permits and a way to push prices down if they get too high, such as issuing extra free allowances.
Electric utilities and trade group Edison Electric Institute sent an "army" of lobbyists to talk to lawmakers about the Senate climate bill, according to one person familiar with the influence efforts who asked not to be identified in order to speak openly. "EEI and the member companies worked this issue as hard as they have worked anything," this person said.
Utilities combined spent $67.2 million on lobbying in the first quarter, compared with $35.4 million in the same period last year. This year's amount is the highest for any industry in the power sector.
That total includes $25.1 million that PG&E Corp. spent to back a California ballot measure that would require citizens to approve or reject any municipal-owned power company bid for expansion. That expenditure is reported in PG&E's federal lobbying disclosure.
But other utilities focused on the federal climate issues. American Electric Power Co. Inc. spent $3.3 million on lobbying, a 91 percent increase from what it spent in first quarter 2009. (Of that total, $500,000 went toward supporting an Ohio ballot measure.)
The company talked to lawmakers about its desire to ensure that any climate policy passed by Congress pre-empt state laws. AEP also wants Congress to bar EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
It is not yet clear what the bill will say on pre-emption. In March, details emerged earlier that the bill then from Kerry, Graham and Lieberman would curb EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases and also would limit states' climate laws and regulations.
AEP, like other utility companies, also lobbied for a "fair distribution" of any free emissions allowances, said AEP spokesman Pat Hemlepp. The number of free allowances under the House bill was "a good start," Hemlepp said. Still, he said, utilities would have needed to buy a large number of permits, driving up electricity prices.
Trade associations have seen drafts and "reports we heard from them were that it fits closely with what we feel would fit best with the economy in the regions we serve," Hemlepp said. AEP provides electricity in 11 states, including Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and West Virginia.
AEP also lobbied the Senate bill sponsors on a provision contained in the House climate bill that would allow the United States to add a kind of "carbon credit offset," to products imported from countries without climate regulations similar to those that the bill would impose domestically. AEP joined with labor union International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in supporting the language.
There have been questions over whether such a tariff would violate trade agreements, and AEP asked to have that problem fixed. It is not clear how it will be addressed in the Senate bill.
Edison Electric Institute spent $4.2 million on lobbying in the first quarter, 63 percent more than what the trade group spent in the same period a year ago. Its lobbyists were "working to make sure that the utility sector would be able to have an adequate number of emissions allowances allocated from the offset," said EEI spokesman Jim Owen.
Slocum, with Public Citizen, said that utilities and their trade groups want as many free emissions permits as possible and delaying the effective date of the legislation as long as they can. "The goal of the entities representing big greenhouse gas emitters is to make sure their clients get as many free giveaways and free passes so they don't have to alter their business model in a significant way," he said.
Owen said utilities want to make sure there is not a consumer revolt.
"It's true, obviously, our members will have a fiduciary responsibility to protect shareholder interests. There's no ambiguity about that," Owen said. But a bill that causes electricity prices to rise would create a customer backlash that would "undermine the bill."
Industry rivals
Coal companies pushed for many of the same provisions that utility industry lobbyists pursued. The fuel is used for half the country's electricity supply. But coal also wanted to make sure that it has a future.
If the timeline for carbon reductions and greenhouse gas emissions "falls too steeply, too early, for the technology that needs to be in place to reduce emissions," said Carol Raulston, spokeswoman for National Mining Association, "you basically drive coal out of the market. We're trying to remake half of electricity generation," she added. "You just can't make it happen by 2015."
Coal companies and their trade groups spent $4.7 million for lobbying in the first quarter, compared with $2.9 million in the same period in 2009.
Peabody Energy Corp., the world's largest coal company, spent the most in the coal mining sector, $1.7 million. That is a 31.3 percent increase from what it spent a year earlier.
As coal lobbyists made arguments to help keep the fuel alive, those representing the natural gas industry asked for language in the climate bill that would help that energy source, but likely hurt coal.
Natural gas wants incentives for utilities to switch from coal to natural gas, such as giving utilities that move to natural gas free allowances that they could then sell. The allowances are appropriate because natural gas has half the carbon emissions of coal, said advocates for natural gas who asked not to be identified.
As it made that argument, the natural gas industry accelerated its lobbying in the first three months of the year. Natural gas transmission companies spent $4.3 million, up more than 33 percent from a year earlier.
America's Natural Gas Alliance, a trade group for natural gas companies, spent $930,000. (That amount is not included in the natural gas total because Center for Responsive Politics places ANGA in the oil and natural gas industry category.)
"We're looking for incentives to transition to cleaner sources of power like natural gas," said Dan Whitten, spokesman for America's Natural Gas Alliance.
ANGA and others backing natural gas also lobbied for a "clean energy standard," which would be similar to the kind of renewable electricity standard (RES) that wind, solar and other green power sources want. An RES would require utilities to generate a portion of their power from renewable sources. Natural gas wants it expanded into a mandate for "cleaner" power choices.
"It doesn't take anything out of wind and solar but also recognizes the advantages that natural gas has in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions," Whitten said.
The American Petroleum Institute, the trade group for oil and natural gas companies, also backs a clean energy standard, said Lou Hayden, API's senior director of federal relations.
That collides with the interests of renewable power companies.
American Wind Energy Association, the trade group for wind, has been telling lawmakers that an RES is a crucial part of the industry's future. AWEA's lobbyists argue that it would give private investors the market security they need to fund wind projects. The trade group opposes expanding the pool of options.
"We do not support adding natural gas to the RES," said wind trade group CEO Denise Bode. "It is not renewable and has significant subsidies that have allowed it to increase market share from coal by almost by 7 percent without any new policy incentives."
AWEA, meanwhile, hopes that the Kerry-Lieberman bill will offer a renewable electricity standard that is more aggressive than the one in legislation (S. 1462 (pdf)) that passed the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last year. That bill requires utilities to use 3 percent renewable power by 2011, with some of that allowed to come from efficiency measures.
But because of growth in the wind industry last year, wind and other renewable sources already represent about 3 percent of the market for electricity generation, said Rob Gramlich, AWEA's senior vice president for public policy.
AWEA in the first quarter spent the most on lobbying out of those in the renewable power sector, a total of $700,000. That is a drop from the $1.8 million it spent a year earlier.
Chemical spending rises
The chemical industry also increased lobbying spending in the first quarter compared with last year and seems likely to see some benefit in the Kerry-Lieberman bill.
Chemical companies and their trade group American Chemistry Council allocated $13.6 million, up 27 percent from the first quarter of 2009. The American Chemistry Council alone spent $2.7 million, the highest amount in the sector and a 181 percent increase from a year earlier.
The Dow Chemical Co. spent $2 million on lobbying in the first quarter, with climate and energy legislation topping its priority list, said spokeswoman Karen Jayne Leinberger. Dow advocated "for provisions that do not penalize energy intensive, trade exposed industries and (allow) U.S. manufacturing to remain globally competitive," Leinberger said in an e-mail.
Chemical companies fall into the category of what their lobbyists call energy-intensive manufacturers, those that use high amounts of fuel in making products and would be hit hard by carbon restrictions.
"There was a lot on the line for chemical companies like Dow and others," said Slocum with Public Citizen.
Kerry, speaking at the Good Jobs Green Jobs conference last week, said that energy-intensive manufacturers like glass, cement and chemical producers can expect a six-year delay before they must deal with the types of emission restrictions imposed on electric utilities.
"So they can plan and capitalize, and when they come under, they get a rebate just like every average American in order to cushion the impact so that we keep a total minimal impact on every part of the economy," Kerry said.
The chemical industry has argued that in addition to using a lot of power, it is an important player in a lower-carbon future.
"The chemical industry is also a leader in industrial energy efficiency as well as a leading solutions provider of energy-saving products such as insulation, solar technology and light-weight plastics," Leinberger said.
The American Chemistry Council, among its other issues, argued the fuels that chemical companies use to make products should be exempt from any carbon penalties, as the carbon in those fuels is sequestered in the resulting items like plastics.

After conducting an eight-month search for a new chief executive, the board of Akamai Technologies Inc. found the right candidate in a familiar face just down the the hall at company headquarters.
Tom Leighton, cofounder and chief scientist of the Cambridge Internet company, will replace retiring chief executive Paul Sagan, effective Jan. 1. Sagan will remain on Akamai's board and serve as a senior adviser to the company.
"This is a transition that will be pretty seamless," said Leighton, a professor of applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has played a major role in developing many of Akamai's core products. "I've worked very closely with Paul in the last eight years. I spend almost half my time in the field, with customers. . . . I don't think you should expect to see any dramatic deviations."
Leighton will take a leave of absence from MIT, and may decide to retire altogether. This fall, he taught a course at the school, on top of his Akamai duties.
Sagan became president of Akamai in 1999 and chief executive in 2005, when the company took in $283 million in revenue; last year revenues were $1.2 billion. The company has a market capitalization of $7 billion, and its shares are up 22 percent so far this year.
"It's time for someone fresh in this chair," Sagan said. "I really thought it would help to have a fresh set of eyes behind some of these decisions."
Already, Leighton has made a couple of personnel shifts. Executive vice president Robert Hughes will become president of worldwide operations, while another executive vice president, Rick McConnell, becomes president of products and development. Sagan said that these changes are relatively modest expansions of the two executives' current responsibilities.
Shares of Akamai stock rose about 1 percent in Monday trading, suggesting that investors are comfortable with Leighton in charge. They ought to be, according to Richard Fetyko, who tracks Akamai as managing director at Janney Capital Markets in New York.
"I think investors will be pleased with the transition," Fetyko said. "It is a bit of a surprise, because I think everyone expected an external CEO. But it's a positive surprise, because this is going to be the least disruptive choice."
Akamai is the leading provider of Internet content delivery services, which enable large companies to rapidly deliver vast amounts of digital data without overloading their own computers and networks. Instead, hundreds of companies and government agencies hire Akamai, which moves the data over its own worldwide server network. Akamai estimates that its network handles up to 30 percent of all data moving on the Internet.
The mathematical formulas that make the Akamai system work were developed at MIT by Leighton and graduate student Danny Lewin, who cofounded the company in 1996. Lewin was among those killed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Revenues in Akamai's content delivery business have been under pressure in recent years, as a host of companies have launched competing products. But one of those rivals, AT&T Inc., struck up an alliance with Akamai earlier this month. AT&T will abandon its own content delivery business and instead sell Akamai's services to its customers. Last month, Akamai made a similar bargain with French Telecom-Orange, one of Europe's biggest telecom companies.
"This is really transformational in our business," Leighton said of the AT&T and Orange deals, because they will make Akamai's technology an integral part of these global data networks.
Meanwhile, Akamai has targeted promising new markets. The company has begun offering a suite of network security products to protect large companies from attacks by digital vandals and criminals.
"It's growing like mad," said Leighton. "It's the fastest growing product in the portfolio."
In addition, Akamai offers products to speed up the performance of cloud-based Internet services, such as online retail businesses.
"In that corner of the business, there's very little competition," said Fetyko, who estimates that Akamai's cloud-based services now account for 58 percent of the company's revenue and 75 percent of its operating income.
Sagan said Akamai has room to grow as users around the world demand what he called "the instant Internet" — the ability to access vast amounts of data immediately via computers, tablets, phones, and other gadgets.

Bringing Awareness with World Cancer Dayby admin
Do you know what cancer is the deadliest? Lung cancer kills more people than any other cancer and by a landslide. According to the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute, 1.37 million cancer deaths are attributed to lung cancer every year, responsible for 26 percent of women's cancer deaths and 29 percent of men's cancer deaths. The next most deadly cancer may be surprising to many, however. Cancers of the stomach causes 736,000 deaths each year. The World Health Organization estimates there will be a total of 13.1 million cancer deaths a year by 2030. To bring awareness to these staggering statistics, the WHO names today, February 4, 2013 as World Cancer Day to educate the public on the facts.
The Myths
This year the WHO aims to highlight and dispel these myths about cancer:
Myth #1: Cancer is just a health issue.
The WHO states cancer has "wide-reaching social, economic, development, and human rights implications." With an estimated 47 percent of all cancer cases and 55 percent of cancer deaths occurring in developing countries, the WHO projects cancer cases will increase 81 percent in developing countries by 2030. They also site cancer's impact on poverty, which negatively impacts a family's to earn an income and keep up with escalating medical costs.
Myth #2: Cancer is a disease of the wealthy, elderly and developed countries.
Half of all cancers occurring in developing countries affect people younger than 65 years old, putting their families and communities at risk for potential long-term economic development. For children in most countries between the ages of 5 and 14, cancer is the leading cause of death. Demographically, cancer is more devastating among the poor and socially disadvantaged, as they are more likely to get sicker and die sooner from cancer.
Myth #3: Cancer is a death sentence.
Advancement in prevention, detection and treatment has greatly impacted the outcomes of cancers previously considered death sentences. For example, screening for breast cancer in Australia has reduced the cases of breast cancer by 30 percent since the mammographic screening program was introduced in 1991. Cancers caught in earlier stages are more likely to be treatable and curable than those discovered in later stages.
Myth #4: Cancer is my fate.
The WHO says 30 percent of cancers can be prevented. By understanding and removing risk factors for cancer from our lifestyles, we can greatly impact prevention. For developing countries, cancer-causing infections such as the hepatitis B virus and HPV also need to be addressed through the availability of safe and effective vaccinations. More awareness will also be shed on environmental considerations like air pollution, radiation and excessive sunlight to reduce the occurrence of cancer cases throughout the world.
What Can You Do?
The WHO is encouraging everyone to engage their networks and greater public to become aware of these myths and the efforts towards prevention, detection and treatment in developing countries, as well as developed countries. Social media is a great tool to spread the word quickly to a greater audience of people. Handy with Twitter? Here are some sample tweets they suggest:
• Did you know that cancer costs the world's economy more than any other disease? #worldcancerday
• Did you know that 1 in 3 cancer cases can be prevented? #worldcancerday
• Did you know that 60% of breast cancer deaths occur in developing countries? #worldcancerday
The WHO lists various ways to get involved on a greater level on their website, including signing a declaration to bring awareness to government and policy makers.

The evolving science of Chronobiology demonstrates that all body systems have a biorhythm or circadian rhythm that serve as physiological indicators that have a timing effect on specific systems' metabolism. Nutrients and drugs give a more desired effect when given at a time that best matches this metabolism. This is called Chronobiology and is generating clinical studies that demonstrate certain drugs have a significantly different result if given in the AM as opposed to the PM. For example, since the liver is regenerating itself on a daily circadian basis in the early morning, antioxidants (i.e. Glutathione, N-Acetylcysteine) to help strengthen and support the liver are given in the IDNutrition™ PM packet. Because the pain of Osteoarthritis is generally late in the afternoon, the Joint and Inflammatory Support formulas are optimal if given in the IDNutrition™ AM packet. IDNutrition™ is delivering the optimal dose at the optimal time of day.
Nutritional supplements have a wide variation in ingredient "quality" and, to a lesser extent, ingredient "quantity." Quality is Mission Critical and can vary as to potency, purity, solubility and absorbability.
It's critical in that the amount of active ingredient is verified as present in the right bioactive form. IDNutrition™ ingredients are carefully selected, certified and verified by our manufacturers. IDNutrition™ also uses outside independent laboratories to inspect and certify the potency of each ingredient.
It's critical in that all ingredients contained are free of pesticides, herbicides, and any chemical contaminants. IDNutrition™ ingredients are carefully selected, certified and verified to guarantee the purity of each ingredient. IDNutrition™ also uses outside independent laboratories to inspect and certify the purity of each ingredient.
It's critical regardless of the potency and purity of the ingredients. If the tablet or capsule is not readily soluble, the ingredients will not be broken down and instead will be eliminated from the body before the nutritional value can be realized. IDNutrition™ utilizes outside independent laboratories to verify disintegration rates of its tablet and capsule formulations to assure the pure and potent ingredients are available for absorption.
It's critical because once the potent, pure, soluble ingredients are broken down for absorption they are bioavailable and in a form to be readily absorbed into your blood stream. IDNutrition™ formulations not only use ingredients that are pharmaceutical grade but they are also derived from natural sources.
Our formulas provide only ingredients that have scientific evidence behind the recommendations and we provide the level of ingredients as close as possible to the dose used in the scientific studies. Many companies will add unnecessary or minimal ingredients to insinuate a potent formula, but the quantity of each ingredient is minuscule and far below the level required to deliver a positive result.
IDNutrition™ endeavors to use the studied amount of each ingredient and also does not believe in very high doses of nutrients (mega-dosing) where it is assumed if x is beneficial, 3x is more beneficial.
Mega-dosing or "overdosing" is often dangerous leading to unwanted side effects and is even wasteful since "overdosing" is not only a waste of money but the entire excessive ingredient amounts are being excreted.
Because of the facial sun exposure that commonly occurs. The broad spectrum SPF used in the Day Cream is designed to protect you from harmful UVA and UVB rays that damage the skin.
Yes, it's designed to use on all areas of your face. All of the Skin Care products were designed to be safely applied to the entire face. The Serum is specifically designed to eliminate the need to use a separate eye cream, crow's feet cream, etc.
Our Skin Care products are completely fragrance-free.
Telomeres are located at the ends of the chromosomes in our DNA and they protect genetic data, which allows cell division. As we age, the telomeres shorten and the cell cannot divide any longer, which essentially kills the cell. By limiting the shortening of telomeres, the replicative potential of the cells in fibroblasts (cells that synthesize collagen) is preserved and skin aging is delayed.
This depends on multiple factors including frequency of use, volume of product used, and individual skin type.
Yes, these products are designed for people with all skin types. Individuals with sensitive skin have found IDLife's Skin Care Line to be friendly to their skin.
Yes, it is very important to use a moisturizer with oily skin. A common misconception is that moisturizing will make your face oilier, but the fact is that without moisturizer, the face produces even more oil because it is trying to nourish itself. Providing the proper hydration to the skin with IDLife Day Cream is vital to healthy skin care.
The two products have different ingredients designed to serve a specific purpose dependent on the time of day. The Day Cream is used for moisturizing and protecting the face, while the Night Cream is for repair, regeneration, and deep moisturizing at night when the skin is not exposed to sunlight and is going through restorative phases.
Yes, these products do not include parabens.
Kids Nutrition is designed for children who have not achieved the maturity or weight to receive the benefits of IDNutrition. If your child has already reached maturity or weight for IDNutrition, it is the better choice because of the customization.
Once your child has reached maturity, it would be safe for them to switch to the IDNutrition platform
The product is designed for children two years of age and older.
There are no dyes or artificial ingredients whatsoever in Kids Nutrition.
Yes. Hydrate is a blend of essential minerals and electrolytes that is safe for children and adults.
One full jar of Hydrate is designed to mix with one 5-gallon sports jug so that you can easily hydrate a sports team or a group attending an event.
It provides all the essential nutrients without all the added sugar.
All IDLife products are designed to be consumed together and taken together.
It depends on the person. A properly hydrated person would most likely need one serving in a day. Because 75% of Americans are dehydrated on a regular basis, it's recommended you use Hydrate at least two times per day.
There is no sugar in Hydrate. It is naturally sweetened with Stevia.
It is okay to take lower dosages; however, the product will be most effective with the recommended amount.
Everyone's body chemistry is different. If you do experience this, it is recommended to instead take Lean during the day, an hour before a meal or a workout.
It depends on your goals and why you are taking it. The different time suggestions are intended to provide options for individual goals and lifestyles.
All IDLife products are designed to be consumed together and taken together.
Lean was developed to combat Sarcopenia, which results in the loss of lean muscle mass. As people age, the body goes into a catabolic state and eats away lean muscle.

The manufacturing facility that produces IDLife Vegan Shake is professional and highly decorated facility certified by NSF, Informed Choice and several other facility inspection entities. It adheres to the cGMP compliance standards for manufacturing. Because the top two protein sources sold in the U.S. are whey and soy, this top notch facility produces these formulas, as does every other premiere facility in the country. However, following the cGMP standards of manufacturing and the IDLife QC protocol, the facility ensures no cross-contamination with the other products in the facility. In addition, as is standard on all IDLife products, three separate tests are performed on the product to ensure purity and quality of the ingredients, as well as to ensure no cross-contamination has occurred. In the end, we have one of the best tasting Vegan Shakes on the market that exceeds the purity standard of most manufacturers.
Our manufacturer follows all FDA and GMP guidelines for trace levels of tetrahydrocannabinol delta-9 (THC). The level of THC in the hemp protein found in the IDLife Vegan Shake is undetectable or less than the measurable threshold of 0.3% if any detected (300 parts per million or less).

Tonight I did a concept during livestream which was pretty interesting, considering that lots of people have requested me to do something like this. In this tutorial, we'll be learning "how to draw anime human Spyro", step by step. I've been a huge fan of the very old PS 1 games which me and my brother used to rock out to during our childhood years. My most prominent memories of playing that game was trying to cleverly catch that egg stealer which took FOREVER! If any of you remember that in the games, please leave a comment below! Anyways, if you don't know the old Spyro games, they were the best and most fun. The new games aren't as interesting and epic like the oldies. There were so many locations of interest which made gameplay wicked and always fresh. Well folks, I better get going, if you have a human character request, leave a comment below and I'll be sure to consider it. Thanks so much for viewing and stay tuned for more epic shiz, yo!

I had the pleasure of visiting Treasure Jewelry's booth at the 2009 spring ASD/AMD trade show in Las Vegas. I was immediately impressed at the quality and beauty of the products in their inventory and purchased some really great pieces right then and there at the show. I had no problem selling these beautiful pieces at five times the price I paid for them. My customers loved them and I will definitely be purchasing again from Treasure Jewelry. The gemstone cuff bracelets and chokers were fabulous sellers for us as well as the gemstone link bracelets. The beautiful resin bangles were also a top seller. I would recommend Treasure Jewelry's products to anyone who sells jewelry, whether it be at a brick and mortar costume jewelry store, an online website or street fairs and swap meets. I give them a big 10 for their lovely high quality products and great customer service. Thanks!

Hockey continues to feel the sting of disrespect from their network television home. This time, the slap in the face isn't national, but limited to just the Tampa market. For now, anyway. We'll have to wait and see what happens if tonight's game goes into overtime.
WFLA, Channel 8 in Tampa, is opting to air the All Children's Telethon instead of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I think this is something that WFLA does every year, regardless of what's schedule to air on The Peacock, so I don't know if it's something that puck fans should take personally. Still, though... it's the Finals.
I feel for hockey fans, who are continually reminded of the second-class status of their sport of choice, but on the other hand ... seeing Chris Kunitz out there mucking and grinding doesn't do much to help sick kids. Hopefully, something can be worked out to keep everyone happy.

Official weather station at Sakeji School, Zambia (David Thorp).
More than practically every other major livelihood, farming is highly conditioned by its biophysical context. This is particularly so for poor smallholders who have insufficient income and resources to ameliorate production constraints and increase farm productivity. HarvestChoice utilizes four core groups of biophysical data in its characterization and analysis of production conditions: weather and climate, soils, land cover and use, and agroecological zones.
Weather and Climate We compile and utilize daily and monthly data on rainfall, temperature, radiation, humidity and windspeed to help assess broad crop suitability, potential pest and disease prevalence, and location-specific yield estimates.
Soils Resources HarvestChoice uses several sources of soil data in a number of ways: simple categories of soil types, indicators of soil fertility, and mapping unit or point-based soil indicators at multiple depths.
Agroecological Domains Agroecological zones provide consolidated information on climate, temperature and humidity, and serve as a useful tool for assessing the use of land and its resources. For HarvestChoice we are able to report production, population, extent of cultivation, market access, and other measured variables across natural environs as opposed to reporting solely based on country boundaries.
Land Cover and Use We use land cover data to identify where agricultural activity, and specifically crop cultivation, is taking place. We use several satellite based land cover datasets to identify the area extent and intensity of cropland.
Access and query over 300 layers of spatially-explicit, agricultural-related data at 10km x 10km grid resolution.

At this point, I feel like I don't have to introduce "Bad Lip-Reading," the mega genius works of music and misinterpretation whose ranks include Twilight 's gummi bear and Michael Bublé's "Russian Unicorn," that second one better known as my Actual Favorite Thing On The Entire Internet.
Now, he's turned his attention on the National Football League, with predictably hilarious results. Man. It really bears no further comment, just watch it.
Everyone doing okay? I can't believe it's Wednesday already. I spent all day yesterday at a super-long game preview, and today at another one, so I've sort of lost my sense of the week. Feel free to talk about games, football, or anything else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good conversation, and don't forget to pick your hotel and stop doing heroin.

The Unstoppables - by Bill Schley
How to tap the real source of entrepreneurial power in you and in your organization.
The UnStoppables is based on foreword author Graham Weston's experience growing Rackspace, as well as fascinating case studies from such organizations as the Navy SEALs and Israeli Special Forces. In The UnStoppables Bill Schley, co-founder of the branding firm Brand Team Six shows how the best practitioners think continuously about two things: The Big Picture and the Little Picture--essence and essentials. The essentials are the business and financial mechanics required of any working enterprise. But the essence is the emotional mechanics to deal with obstacles, risk, fear and failure. Mastering the emotional mechanics is how entrepreneurs succeed and winners win. This is how you capture the unlimited power of entrepreneurship to spark a successful start-up or revitalize a mature organization.
Locally, this book teaches you how to become an entrepreneur or to inspire an entrepreneurial mindset to boost any stage business. Globally, this book is about how this nation can launch thousands more entrepreneurs for the future.
