On 26 February 2008 Kivalina, a Native Alaskan village of approximately 390 Inupiat residents, launched a federal lawsuit in California aimed at oil, coal and power companies. The plaintiffs argue that the defendants' contribution to global warming through their emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses substantially and unreasonably interferes with the plaintiffs' rights to use and enjoy public and private property in Kivalina. The village seeks to recover monetary damages, up to $400 million, for the cost of relocating the entire village as a result of what they describe as "defendants' past and ongoing contributions to global warming". Kivalina also alleges that certain defendants conspired to suppress public awareness of the link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, thereby further contributing to the community's injuries.
On 30 June 2008 BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Peabody Energy and Shell filed motions to dismiss the case on several grounds. First, these defendants claimed that the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case because the claim raises nonjusticiable political questions (more information on the political question doctrine here). Second, they argued that the plaintiffs did not have standing to bring the case because they cannot establish the causal link between the injuries complained of and the defendants' acts. Third, these defendants argued that the plaintiffs failed to state a claim recognised under law. Finally, they argued that the plaintiffs' conspiracy claim runs contrary to the US Constitution's First Amendment protections of free expression.
Responding to the motion to dismiss, plaintiffs argued that their claim is that of simple public nuisance. In response to the political question argument, Kivalina underlined that it only asks the Court to resolve a dispute between the parties and award monetary damages if appropriate. Plaintiffs also pleaded that their conspiracy claim does not run contrary to the First Amendment because the latter does not protect deliberately false statements or deceptive conduct. Finally, plaintiffs argued that they have standing to bring the case as there is no requirement for them to specify which particular emission and at what point in time caused the community's injury.
In addition to the companies referred to above, defendants in this case include: AES, American Electric Power, DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Dynegy, Edison Intl., MidAmerican Energy, Mirant, NRG Energy, Pinnacle West, Reliant Energy, Southern Company and Xcel Energy. On 30 September 2009, the US District Court for the Northern District of California granted the defendants' motion to dismiss, agreeing with the defendants' arguments that the case raises nonjusticiable political questions and that the plaintiffs lack standing to bring the case. In November 2009, Kivalina Village appealed this dismissal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In September 2012 the appeals court rejected Kivalina's appeal, affirming the lower court's dismissal of the case. In October 2012, Kivalina asked the appeals court to rehear the case en banc (before the full panel of appeals court judges), but the court refused to rehear the case. The plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Supreme Court in February 2013, but the court declined to hear the appeal.

Virginia ruling aids Alaska climate suit [USA]
Author: David Sherfinski, Washington Times
The Virginia Supreme Court has handed down an unprecedented ruling on companies' liability for global warming-related damages — a first-in-the-nation decision that could portend massive consequences for energy companies and environmental lawyers. The ruling stems from an ongoing case in federal court, in which the Alaskan island town of Kivalina accused a handful of mostly U.S. energy companies of contributing to global warming, which it says has rendered the town uninhabitable...One of the energy companies...Arlington-based AES..., was then sued in Virginia by its insurance carrier, which objected to having to defend the company and possibly pay damages associated with global warming as part of a policy covering accidents. "In this instance, the allegations of negligence do not support a claim of an accident," Justice S. Bernard Goodwyn wrote in a[n]...opinion...[also refers to Steadfast Insurance]

Virginia Court Grants Rehearing of Global Warming Claims Case [USA]
Author: Insurance Journal
...[T]he Virginia Supreme Court stated that "upon consideration of the [AES Corp.'s] petition to set aside the judgment...it is ordered that the said judgment be set aside and a rehearing is granted." Last September, the high court affirmed a lower court's decision that Steadfast Insurance, which provided commercial general liability (CGL) coverage for...energy company AES...has no duty to defend and indemnify the insured for claims arising from a global warming lawsuit...This case has been closely watched by the insurance industry because it's the first case of its kind in the country to reach an appellate court. The case asks whether an insurer offering a CGL policy is liable for claims when the insured is accused of contributing to the climate change and causing environmental damage...The case centers around AES and a lawsuit filed against the company by a village in Alaska.

[video] Appeals court hears argument by village seeking damages from U.S. industry for global warming
Author: Dermot Cole, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner [USA]
A three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in San Francisco...in the case of Kivalina v. ExxonMobil. Kivalina filed suit against Exxon and 23 other oil companies, coal companies and power companies, alleging that they are responsible for global warming, which is destroying sea ice, which means that Kivalina must be moved at a cost of anywhere from $95 million to $400 million...Kivalina claims that the companies have damaged the village by their actions and some of them have engaged in a conspiracy to spread falsehoods about climate change. The defendants in the case say that the attempt to blame selected companies for "contributing" to the "alleged nuisance" of global warming is without merit.

Va court sides with insurer in global warming case [USA]
Author: Larry O'Dell, Associated Press
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled in favor of an insurance company...in the nation's first legal test of whether insurers may be liable for claims arising from global warming. The justices unanimously ruled that environmental problems allegedly caused by power-producer AES...'s emission of greenhouse gases were not "occurrences" covered by a commercial liability policy issued by Steadfast Insurance...The case arose from a lawsuit filed in 2008 by the Native Village of Kivalina, located on the tip of a small barrier reef on the northwest coast of Alaska, about 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The native village claimed that emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses by Virginia-based AES contributed to global warming, causing ice protecting the shoreline to melt and exposing the village to storm surges and erosion...Steadfast's attorney...Leah W. Sears...referred questions to the insurer's parent company, Zurich Financial Services. "We welcome the chance to bring this matter to a close and believe the court's ruling speaks for itself," the company said in a written statement.

Rising Seas, Corporate Greed, and the Plight of an Alaskan Village
Author: Christine Shearer, Earth Island Journal
For the Inupiat people of Kivalina in the Arctic of Alaska, the price of further climate change denial could be the complete devastation of their lives and culture. Their crumbling village must be relocated to survive. But neither the government, nor the fossil fuel giants who have helped speed up the destruction of their village seem to willing to take responsibility. In her compelling new book Kivalina: A Climate Change Story, Christine Shearer traces the history of corporate greed and government compliance and connects it to the plight of this ancient Eskimo community by the Chukchi Sea coast. A grim forewarning of what could soon be the plight of coastal communities across the world if we don't wake up and act right now...In the midst of government inaction on climate change, the village filed suit against fossil fuel companies for their relocation costs, and for creating a false debate around global warming: Kivalina v. ExxonMobil et al.

Impact of Supreme Court's Greenhouse Gas Ruling Likely to Be Felt in Other Cases [USA]
Author: Lawrence Hurley, Greenwire (USA)
The Supreme Court's ruling…finding that states cannot invoke federal common law in an attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions has left several key legal questions unanswered…[T]he court did not address whether states and others can sue under state law to limit emissions. The first case likely to be affected by the Supreme Court's decision is…Kivalina v. Exxon Mobil...Whatever happens in AEP on remand, lawyers assume there will be future cases in which state law claims are litigated…9th Circuit case focuses on a lawsuit filed by the Alaskan village of Kivalina against major polluters…Its lawyers, including Pawa, claim that emissions have contributed to rising sea levels that are now endangering the village, which sits at the end of an 8-mile barrier island that separates the Chukchi Sea and Kivalina River…Pawa said Kivalina can be distinguished from AEP because the village is seeking monetary damages -- based on its need to relocate -- rather than injunctive relief in the form of reduced emissions.
States' Emissions 'Nuisance' Argument Seems to Fall on Deaf Ears in Supreme Court [USA]
Author: Lawrence Hurley, Greenwire, on New York Times
...[A] majority of Supreme Court justices appeared hostile today as to whether states can regulate greenhouse gases as a public nuisance under federal common law...[The] plaintiffs, six states, New York City and several land trusts,...want utilities that operate fossil fuel-fired electric power plants to reduce emissions by invoking federal "public nuisance" common law...The plaintiffs...argue that the power companies are contributing to a public nuisance by releasing greenhouse gases into the air...American Electric Power Co. Inc. and several other power companies [Duke, Xcel, Southern Co.] maintain that the Clean Air Act supplants the federal common law when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions...[The] justices were keen to reach the merits over whether the Clean Air Act and EPA rulemaking had displaced the federal common law...Whatever conclusion the court reaches, it could affect another case on the same issue. Kivalina v. ExxonMobil is in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals...

High Court to Decide Whether Climate Change Cases Should Proceed [US]
Author: Marcia Coyle, National Law Journal [US]
Perched on an Alaskan barrier island, the village of Kivalina faces imminent destruction because of melting sea ice. Now, the community's legal effort -- which pins the blame on energy companies for the change in climate -- is in danger as well. So, too, is a pair of high-profile climate-change suits that may be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, one involving an effort by Connecticut and other states to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, the other stemming from Hurricane Katrina. All three suits rely upon the theory that climate change is a public nuisance...If the justices grant review, the stage could be set for reversal of a rare, recent high court victory for environmentalists, the 2007 decision in Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency. [refers to ExxonMobil, American Electric Power]

322. They Called Me King Tiger: Leadership and What's Best For All
Discussing the leadership that Reies López Tijerina had in the Chicano movement he led in New Mexico in the 60's and what I consider would have been a more beneficial leadership for the benefit of everyone in his environment in the long run. This is based on the documentary "They Called Me King Tiger" or "Me Llamaban King Tiger" sharing a part of a history that I had no idea of, but can learn a lot to in order to not repeat the same mistakes.
Synopsis: In June of 1967, the court of Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico, was assaulted by armed men under the command of Chicano leader, Reies López Tijerina. The outcome of such bold action, was the largest manhunt in the recent history of the United States. Tijerina managed to survive prison, a psychiatric hospital, and several assassination attempts. The Chicano movement faded away, and everyone thought the same of Tijerina. People speak of him as a saint, an illuminated man, a man looking for a fair cause through violence. They called him King Tiger. Source: https://www.ficg.mx/32/index.php/en/mezcal/999-me-llamaban-king-tiger

I'm running the Brighton Marathon in April to raise as much money as I can for Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice in Cheltenham, where I have worked as a Research Nurse since 2012. I care for patients in research studies which aim to help improve patient's symptoms and experiences when they are faced with life threatening illnesses. I love working at the hospice and feel very fortunate to work with a team of wonderful people who make such a difference at what can be the most challenging time in a person's life.
To continue to provide this hospice care we need to raise around £2.5 million per year. In real terms your donations could help pay for the following:
- £18 could pay for one hour of care to support people to live the fullest life possible
- £135 could pay for a hospice nurse for a day
- £500 could pay for a day of in-patient care
This is a huge challenge for me and 26.2 miles feels way out of my comfort zone. I'd be so grateful if you felt able to support me, even a small amount can help to make a very big difference.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When not going to work are you more likely to be seen in jeans and a T, casual dress, or to the 9's?
When your not having to dress to go to work and are maybe just going shopping or to get something to eat, are you in jeans and a t-shirt, casual dress, or dressed to the 9's because nobodies going to see you slacking?
Thanks for asking this question. Basically I am not working, because I am a full time Home-maker. So whenever I go to outside even though for a walk, a library, to eat and some one's houe, I always wear T-shirt and a pair of pant even though nobody is going to see me. When I go for Yoga classes then only I wear casual dress.
I work in a downtown office and I try to get away with the most casual attire I can. For me, that would mean khaki pants and a nice blouse or occasionally sneaking in some pants that look a little dressy but are really jeans. My office tends to be hot in the winter and cold in the summer so I have to dress in layers as well. It's kind of annoying because in the summer I'd just like to wear summer clothes but I always have to remember to bring a sweater or wear something over a sleeveless shirt. I have a few friends who work in a different building downtown, for a financial corporation and they have to wear a suit everyday with heels and the guys have to wear a suit and tie. I don't think I would appreciate the expense for that type of work attire nor the time it takes to put it altogether every day. Fortunately, my company doesn't require that and is quite flexible. On Fridays, we can wear jeans but not T-shirts with offensive words. Most people in my office on Friday's, wear nice jeans that are not torn or worn out.
I live in a small town in Montana (though grew up elsewhere) and T-shirts and jeans is the normal wear here for shopping, dining, church or work. If you see someone in a suit, you know they are from out of town. So I am in my jeans and t-shirt daily with mascara and always clean. Not much to aspire to I guess! LOL
I love blue jeans and a casual shirt. They're my comfy clothes and the clothes that I feel best in.
I am most comfortable in shorts and a T, but if going out to I will change to something more casual. Love to dress up, but these days I find little need to do so. Dresses are always nice to wear and I try to wear them often.
The office wear has changed somewhat these days and you really don't find too many that require suits. I am partial to those types of working environments as they allow you to dress comfortably.
jeans and tshirt..im more comfortable wearing them
Jeans and teeshirt every time. I have to 'dress up' for work during the day so I can't wait to get more into my jeans when I get home.
If I am not going to work I am almost always in jeans/shorts and a tshirt. Sometimes, when I can't be bothered with buttoning proper pants its a tshirt and youga or track pants.
As I work in a uniform, I like to express the real me outside work. If im just chilling/running little errands Jeans and a blouse but if im meeting people, or going somewhere a 50's style dress or skirt all the way!

Fourteen slaves who petitioned the Legislature for their freedom during the Revolutionary War were granted posthumous emancipation on Friday when Gov. Maggie Hassan signed a largely symbolic bill that supporters hope will encourage future generations to pursue social justice. The original petition was found in state archives nearly 30 years ago, but supporters pushed lawmakers to pass the measure this year in part to bring attention to an African-American burial site in Portsmouth, where money is being raised to build a memorial park.

There are countless numbers of people who wish to lose weight, and there is an even more significant number of diets which claim to help achieve this.
If there was a more natural way, everyone could lose weight quickly, with no need of counting calories, however following a varied workout plan.
Body Builders and Fat
When you look at bodybuilders, these guys are highly muscled and have hardly any fat on their bodies. They also consume way more calories than an average person does, so what is the reason they never show any fat?
There was a famous bodybuilder many years ago called Vince Gironda whose nickname was "Iron Guru" and for a good reason.
Back as far as the 50's, he had a body that many bodybuilders struggle to reach today. He had a way of eating which played a massive part in his success.
The Vince Gironda Diet
The Vince Gironda diet wasn't so much a diet with the aim of losing weight, its objective was to provide his body with nutrition and copious amounts of protein.
In its purest form, his diet was you can eat as much steak and eggs as you like, and have them cooked in butter.
Eat twice per day with no snacks
Don't count calories and use as much butter as you like when cooking the steak and eggs
Every 5th day is a cheat day where you are allowed to eat whatever you wish.
It seems a steak and egg only diet isn't very healthy, but it does contain everything your body needs. It is also very effective for weight loss.
Unhealthy Fat
While it might appear to be an unhealthy diet, there is a misconception when it comes to fat. Fat isn't unhealthy, and there are many good diets to lose weight which rely on this formula.
Unhealthy carbs are what makes us fat because excess sugars are stored easier than fat in the body. When you compare a regular diet to this way of eating, the steak and egg calories are better for the body.
They will also aid the body in burning the fat off by not being stored, these are pure energy providers compared to added sugars which the body is incapable of digesting in one go.
More Modern Diets to Lose Weight
Many people won't have heard of Vince Gironda, but there is another name everyone will know who based his eating plan on that of Vince Gironda.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the most iconic bodybuilders in history. He also recognized the importance of food to obtain his Mr Universe winning physique.
Arnold had principles which took him away from purely an egg diet meal plan because he was bigger and stronger.
Arnold followed just 4 principles:
- Eat 5-6 meals per day
- His intake was 4,000 calories per day and 250 grams of protein
- Carbs were consumed within 30 minutes of every workout
- Protein shakes were his go-to drink when he needed a boost in protein
How Does This Work for Me?
The two above are extreme cases of extreme athletes who were at the very prime of their sport. Vince Gironda also spent some time training Arnold, so the methodology of his training was handed over.
A diet following these methods can help you lose weight fast, and it doesn't need to be as extreme as an egg diet with steak and nothing else.
Both Vince and Arnold did eat other things, and they performed masses amounts of lifting weights to reach the standard of the body they were famous for.
Healthy eating and cutting out as much processed food and drinks with added sugars will have the same effect when you follow a decent workout plan.
When you develop a healthy style of eating in this manner, you can indulge in a few more sunny-side-ups cooked in butter or lean meat without feeling guilty.
The End Result
When you follow a steak and egg diet style of eating, you will find you start losing weight without excess exercise. You will also begin to have more energy and stamina, and your mental approach will be much better.
This is one way to make sure you don't cheat on diets when you can eat as much as you like. Feeling satisfied is the secret to any diet, and eating this way, you will be surprised how happy a humble egg can make you feel.

Energy Efficient Lighting Solutions & Management
Now, more than ever, energy management is a crucial element when designing and building lighting solutions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, lighting represents 40% of the average commercial building's electric bill.
Conserving energy isn't just a good idea, nor are the benefits strictly financial. Energy efficiency is a critical component to a sustainable environment, and more and more consumers are choosing to do business with companies that are energy conscious.
Energy cost increases and waste disposal requirements demand careful consideration when designing lighting and selecting new products. Matching the right technology with the required application is critical to maximize energy efficiency.
To ensure your new project or existing facility is as energy efficient as possible, call us at (317) – 780-8350 for a free consultation.
Energy Efficient Technologies
New technologies offer customers tremendous cost savings.
- Fluorescent and LED lighting technologies offer significant reductions in energy usage and dramatically longer life. Several new products cut energy usage by as much as 75% while achieving a lamp life increase up to 10 times that of traditional lighting sources.
- Lighting controls that determine when and where lights are used and how bright they are is a major element in lighting conservation. Lighting can be set to automatically reduce or increase at certain times of day and night as needed, while also protecting your public and your property from the criminal element.
- Dark sky guidelines reduce light pollution along with the effects of unnatural lighting on the population and environment, and cut down on energy usage.
- Low maintenance systems are also vital. Even keeping lamps and fixtures free of dust and dirt can increase light output by as much as 50%.
