It misses a few +++ because of Senator Mayer. Isn't his first name Oscar?
Either Bill or Pierce. I'm thinking it's Aaron Pierce.
Why couldn't they grill Senator Mayer?
Larry's bitter because Walker is falling in love with Jack. And he'll probably be gone by episode 20 or so.
Bill gets the Silent Clock.
I'm a new viewer of 24....I love it. Still not sure if anyone is a good guy yet but truly hooked.
Quote from: TARAsia Fan on March 09, 2009, 08:13:02 PMBill gets the Silent Clock. I sat there in my chair bawling over Bill's passing...could hardly watch the rest of the show, it just tore me up. He was one of the best characters in the series and I loved him to pieces in all the seasons he was in. sooo sad. The week before, plus this week's eps were the very best for season8, plus the best in a lonnnnng time. Sit-on-the-edge-of-ur-seat-excitement, but so sad that Bill had to die. Sucks bigtime.

Refining Style
Since I have begun my new journey on living a life of simplicity, I have also begun refining my style. At times I feel all over the place and I am trying hard not to waste and buy smartly. I want pieces and a home that we can grow with and me not tire of in a few sort months or even years. After much evaluation I think I came down to what I am when concerning my home. I think designer Kristen Panitch nailed me right on the head with her gorgeous designs. Her spaces look easy to live in, welcoming, traditional, with a bit of boho here and there. The textures, patterns. and the layering of all her spaces feel like home to me. This is the direction I am slowly going in. I can't wait to share my home soon!
Her goal for every space they design speaks volumes to me... to create homes that will reflect and evolve with our clients' lifestyle, tastes, passions, and dreams... That is so what I want and am striving towards.

Paula, this collection of images is spectacular, and I think you named it perfectly: cozy, "lived-in", traditional but bohemian. Very, very beautiful and inspiring!
You have reminded me again to slow down and decorate with what is meaningful rather than what is on sale! Very excited to see the evolution of your home.

I've been HUGELY inspired by Kristen's work for awhile now. I want to be able create sophisticated yet comfortable spaces like that. It really does make me feel happy when I see her work. I can't wait to see how you translate this for yourself (in your already fantastic home). It's something I'm SLOWLY working on in my own home as well.

I always feel I have a hard time deciding what is really "me" and for the long haul. It has def something I'm evolving into. Not one particular style to describe myself but a mixture. Love these images -very you! I love the first room. Dinosaurs and all. Pretty, inviting, interesting and lived in. The perfect combination, for sure!

I always love seeing pictures from your home so I am looking forward to that!
I am already on the path of surrounding myself with ONLY things that I love and things with (somewhat) lasting quality. (Maybe it is an age thing! Ha!). But I feel I need to lighten up a little and be more playful also with my home. I think more colors are on the way into my Swedish home. What a concept!
Love Kristen's style.
Happy new week to you my friend.

I think that everything wrote was actually very logical.
But, think about this, suppose you added a little information?
I am not saying your content isn't good., but suppose you added something that grabbed a person's attention?
I mean "Refining Style" is kinda vanilla. You might look
at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write post headlines to get viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about what you've
got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

Japan's first 'cuddle cafe' lets you sleep with a stranger for Y6,000
Sometimes, after a long, stressful day, there's nothing more comforting than crawling into bed with your significant other and falling asleep in their arms.
But what if you don't have anyone to cuddle with in the first place? If you're in Japan, you might think to go to a soapland or some other kind of brothel, but then you'd have to deal with all that sex when you really just want to close your eyes and rest in the warmth of another's body.
But wait! Before you resign yourself to another lonely night of shedding tears on your Rei Ayanami dakimakura, why not stop by Soineya, Japan's first "co-sleeping specialty shop," where customers can pay to sleep in the arms of a beautiful girl—with no strings attached.
Soineya (literally, "sleep together shop") opened its doors on Sept 25 in none other than Akihabara, Tokyo's electronics district, hub of otaku culture and birthplace of other eccentric establishments like maid cafés. Soineya defines itself as a "co-sleeping specialty shop," which we're going to denominate "cuddle cafe" because it has a better ring to it.
According to the homepage, Soineya hopes to offer patrons "the simple and ultimate comfort of sleeping together with someone."
Of course, ultimate comfort comes at a price. Let's take a look at the Soineya "service menu":
Admission fee: 3,000 yen
Standard Course
20 min – 3,000 yen
40 min – 5,000 yen (only 3,000 yen for first time visitors)
60 min – 6,000 yen
2 hrs – 11,000 yen
3 hrs – 16,000 yen
4 hrs – 20,000 yen
5 hrs – 25,000 yen
6 hrs – 30,000 yen
10 hrs – 50,000 yen
"Shimei-ryo" (fee to pick the girl you want to sleep with) – 1,000 yen + 500 yen per hour
Optional Course
Customer sleeps in girl's arm (3 min) – 1,000 yen
Girl pats customer on the back (3 min) – 1,000 yen
Customer pets girl on the head (3 min) – 1,000 yen
Customer and girl stare at each other (1 min) – 1,000 yen
Girl changes clothes (1 time) – 1,000 yen
Girl gives customer foot massage (3 min) – 1,000 yen
Customer gives girl foot massage (3 min) – 2,000 yen
Customer sleeps with head on girl's lap (3 min) – 1,000 yen
Girl sleeps with head on customer's lap (3 min) – 2,000 yen
So basically, you're paying about 6,000 yen an hour to lie in bed with a complete stranger. The website doesn't specify what customers are and are not permitted to do during the standard course, but it's probably safe to assume your options are limited to "close your eyes and be quiet."
Furthermore, Soineya is currently recruiting girls for part-time in-store and "delivery" work. Here's the job description.
■ Job: Sleeping
■ Location: Akihabara (3 min walk from station)
■ Qualifications: High school age to 30s
■ Compensation: 3,500 yen/hour
■ Hours: Weekdays 15:00-22:00, Weekend/holidays 12:00-22:00

This is just sad in so many ways.
Indeed. Sad and a little disturbing, but would not surprise me if they do get alot of customers.
Queen of Support
A sad state of Japan when a) men will pay for this and b) women would actually do this for a job.
This is for real? Well it IS japan so not so surprising i guess.
What's one thousand minus seven?
*clap* Nice
Remember, remember...what the heck was I saying again?
That awkward moment when this is your job and you aren't even tired.
if i were a girl, this would probably be a dreamjob. Sleep all day, get paid (assuming this isnt a happy end establishment) XD

no i really dont see how your not having sex with them your just holding them nothing rong at all with that so many ppl these days think the human body is disqusting how sad
Well what about the one that says "Customer and girl stare at each other" that's kinda awkward if you ask me haha to just be staring at a stranger.
What's one thousand minus seven?
I'm fine alone. I'd rather be alone.

Eh? No one said the human body is disgusting. Not sure what makes you come to that conclusion, but okay. Each to their own.
This reminds me of an incident that happened at my university. I saw a crime alert for a man who would sneak into girls' apartments while they were sleeping and just sleep with them in their bed, without actually touching them. I think he was called "the cuddler" or something.
I'm not a witch, just a really magical cat
Well then...um...must think of some witty comment here
What even
Anime has utterly screwed up Japan's normality...If they ever had that in the first place.

I'm swimming in unfamiliar waters today. Nice people aren't my beat.
Dennis McCarthy talks to nice people.
I wallow in the sty of politics, mouthing off about this crook or that knucklehead. Still, as the saying goes, even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.
Dean and Linda Schneider are exceptionally nice people. They've anchored their neighborhood for nearly 40 years.
Today it's time to say goodbye.
Friends and neighbors will gather to say farewell. After nearly four decades in Woodland Hills the Schneider's are moving on.
L.A.'s loss is Yakima's gain.
Yakima? Yes, Yakima.
And Lakers fans thought Dwight Howard leaving for Houston was hard to understand.
The Schneider's have their reasons; a daughter and grandchild in Washington, and after decades in the car business, Dean has earned a less stressful life.
The neighbors aren't pleased.
"It will always be Linda and Dean's house," said Jennifer Miller. A sentiment shared by everyone I spoke to on Alizondo Drive.
"I call Linda my other mom," said Miller. "My mother died when I was a teenager. I could go to Linda with big problems, little problems, big joys and little joys."
"They are simply nice people," echoed Karen Kirby, another neighbor, who along with her husband Larry has actually lived on Alizondo longer than the Schneiders.
"After the Northridge Earthquake, Dean and Linda's house was the gathering spot for everyone too shaken to stay home alone," remembered Karen Kirby.
Los Angeles is a famously transient city where people come and go quickly. The lure of fame or fortune attracts a restless lot. Many a young man who has "gone west" eventually ends up going east, or north, or who knows?
As a young man Dean Schneider came west, from London, England, bringing with him his love of soccer, vinegar and chips, and that funny way he talks. But Dean was no flash-in-the-pan. It was in Los Angeles he met Linda, a Valley Girl, and made a life in the sun.
Now Dean is ready to ride off. From Great Britain to the Great Northwest after a 40-year layover in L.A.
The boxes are being packed, the mail will be forwarded, hugs will be exchanged and maybe tears as well. Then the moving vans will head up the I-5.
We all move on. Life demands it. But not all departures are equal.
It's the magic that makes some actors stars, that extra-special something no one can quite describe but everyone knows when they see it. Tom Hanks has it.
Dean and Linda Schneider are star neighbors.
New people will move into Linda and Dean's house. They may be wonderful as well. They'll add their own personalities and qualities of character and children to a block that values these things. These strangers may even become friends.
But they can't be the Schneiders.
Along with the furniture and photo albums and the yappy dogs Linda is forever walking, the moving vans will cart off Alizondo Drive's resident historians, a title that now falls to the Kirbys.
Every neighborhood needs someone who remembers when.
The Schneiders are off to start a new life in a new home in the State of Washington where they'll be the strangers.
How strange is that?
But nobody who knows Dean and Linda believes they'll be strangers for long.
A neighborhood is not made up of buildings and sidewalks, that's a ZIP code. A neighborhood is people living in proximity who treat each other with respect and kindness, a tolerance for differences, and a welcoming smile.
Dean and Linda were always the first to welcome new neighbors. Linda knew everything about everyone without prying. No Gladys Kravitz here. When on vacation newspapers were magically collected from the driveway and stowed safely out of view. No need to ask. The neighborhood loners were invited to supper and two extra voices were always available for a chorus of Happy Birthday over a piece of cake.
When the kids came of age, Dean had a car already picked out. Good cars too. Some are still being driven. "It's no big deal," says Dean, but he's wrong about that. Kindness is always a big deal.
If you're lucky you have neighbors like the Schneiders. If your neighbors are lucky you are the neighbors who are like the Schneiders.
Where does McCarthy find all those nice people?

Open Thread: Happy V-DayPosted: February 14, 2013 Filed under: Vagina, Violence against women, War on Women, Women's Healthcare, Women's Rights | Tags: V Day 8 Comments
Let's all RISE in support of V-Day and against violence, rape, and abuse of women and girls.
Today, the ongoing video series entitled "I Am Rising…" debuts featuring short videos by local activists, artists, actors, and thinkers from around the world. The series coincides with a weeklong print and online video series breaking in London's The Guardian newspaper featuring an exclusive commentary piece by Eve and video testimony from Jane Fonda, Rosario Dawson, Robert Redford, Fatou Bensouda, Ai-jen Poo, Jane Mukuninwa, MP Stella Creasy, Nicola Adams and Ruby Wax, with the aim of inspiring women and men around the world to join ONE BILLION RISING.
V-Day is all about protesting and bringing awareness to the vast number of women world wide–approximately 1 in 3–whose lives have been directly impacted by rape, incest, physical abuse, and violence.
One Billion Rising is a call to action for 1 billion women and men throughout the world to strike and dance today in order to call attention to the horrifying statistic that one in three women, that's one billion, will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. The campaign has been run all year by Eve Ensler's now 15-year-old organisation, V-Day, which is most famous for activating people's feminist imagination through Ensler's groundbreaking play, The Vagina Monologues.
Ensler's audacity is less surprising when one considers what V-Day has accomplished. Together with their dedicated local organisers, they have raised more than $85 million, funded over 13,000 community-based anti-violence programmes and educated millions. The organisation reports that 86 cents to the dollar goes directly into ending violence against women and girls, largely due to their model, which relies most heavily on impassioned local volunteers and keeps the organisation itself small and virtual. In 2012, alone, there were over 5,800 V-Day benefit events.
There are actions and events scheduled all over the world. You can watch them live from your home or find one in your neighborhood and join in!!
The action began at dawn with indigenous women in Papua New Guinea. It is sweeping through Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe to the Americas. The Prime Minister of Australia and the President of Croatia are rising. Migrant workers, domestic workers, nurses, doctors, even the Dalai Lama. Solidarity pledges have come in from movie stars and Dalit women and the president of the United Steelworkers.
By this time tomorrow, what will OBR have achieved? It's not like some Mayan Calendar prediction of world transformation overnight. Some organizers have taken advantage of the rising to give momentum to legislation. In the US, in Washington, the One Billion Rising Rising will be calling for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. In London, Stella Creasy MP, has introduced a bill to demand more comprehensive sex education—and she's calling it the One Billion Rising Act.
But OBR's greatest impact may have to do with borders. Not only has the mobilization brought women from all over the world together into an organizing effort that puts a whole new spin on internationalism, but it has also shone a spotlight on the intersections between so-called "social" and "economic " issues.
It's all about social and economic justice for the world's women and girls!!!

On Tuesday, the final three players of the #Fire15 list presented by TrueCar were unveiled. Like any list that involves a bit of democracy, there was a bit of good debate who or who shouldn't have been included among the players deemed the top 15 in club history. Having voted multiple times myself this past summer, I don't think I ever came back with the same 15 players…
With that in mind, I thought it appropriate to take a look at seven guys that you could make a strong case to be in the 15.
Hristo Stoitchkov – One of two players on my Fire15 list back in July that didn't make the final tally, Stoitchkov was perhaps the most high profile player ever to wear the Fire badge when he was in Chicago from 2000-02. The "Mad Bulgarian" known for his exploits with his country at the 1994 World Cup and Barcelona would go on to record 24 goals and 22 assists in 71 matches, starting only 40.
The legendary attacker scored a number of highlight reel goals but his most important would come when he tallied the first goal in the team's 2-1 win over Miami to clinch its second U.S. Open Cup title in 2000.
Jim Curtin – If there ever was an unsung hero with the Fire, it was probably Jim Curtin.
The tall defender with the curly, blonde locks didn't at first look a player that would go on to appear in an understated 186 competitive matches for the club from 2001-07.
Equipped with an infectious personality, the Fire fan favorite would go on to win two U.S. Open Cups and a Supporter's Shield and was named the 2004 Fire Defender of the Year.
Diego Gutierrez – Though might not have known much about it at the time, Gutierrez was the scorer of one of the biggest goals in Chicago Fire history, with his 45th minute redirection of Peter Nowak's strike in MLS Cup '98.
Having done two stints with the Fire from 1998-01 and 2006-08, Gutierrez was often a constant in the Fire midfield, amassing 197 games, 10 goals and 34 assists (good enough for fifth all-time) while being part of four of the club's six domestic titles.
Just as important though were Gutierrez's off-the field contributions. The seven-year Fire veteran was named the club's Humanitarian of the Year three seasons in a row from 2006-08 as well as winning the league-wide award in 2007 for his work with the Nothing But Nets anti-malaria campaign.
Damani Ralph – There are few rookies that have been as successful as Damani Ralph was in 2003 when he tallied 14 goals across all competitions and helped the club to the 2003 MLS Supporters Shield, U.S. Open Cup (where he scored the winning goal in the Final) and an appearance in MLS Cup.
The following season the Jamaican international joined his strike partner Ante Razov as the only other player in club history to tally double digit goals twice, recording 14 more to lead the team in 2004.
Following two successful seasons in Chicago, Ralph moved to Russian club Rubin Kazan always leaving Fire fans to wonder would could have been had he stayed with the Men in Red just a bit longer…
Also one of the most attack-minded defenders all-time in MLS, Segares sits behind only Lubos Kubik in offense created by Fire back liners, tallying 12 goals and 16 assists across all competitions.
Josh Wolff - Another one I wrangled back and forth with, Wolff is the club's third all-time leading goal scorer with 39 and adds to that 19 assists over just 106 games.
The last remaining active player from the 1998 double-winning team, Wolff and Razov formed one of the most dangerous striker partnerships in the league from 1999 to 2002.
Having won an MLS Cup and two U.S. Open Cups, Wolff also holds the distinction of being the only player in Fire history to tally four goals in a match, doing so in a 5-1 U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal victory over Dallas in 2000.

Japanese style tatami mats haven't made inroads with American homeowners quite as much as some other Zen furnishings, such as futons and shoji screens. However, as more designers incorporate elements of tatami rooms in their contemporary designs, the concept is so foreign to upscale buyers. The only problem with tatami mats is trying to incorporate them into a home setting that includes Western style furnishings. Many decorators believe that the best way to use these organic rice straw mats is in a tatami room setting.
Surprisingly, tatami rooms are a popular "transition room" for empty nesters who suddenly find themselves with an extra bedroom or two. While one room may become the home office, another one is often transformed through the use of tatami mats, soft lighting, washy watercolors and Ikebana vases. This is not to say that the tatami room is merely a peaceful oasis for meditation; it can be far more than that. Some people decorate with acoustically-sound tatami mats to improve the soundproofing of a room so it can be used as a reading room or a place to practice martial arts. Tatami mats make a comfortable sitting space for crafters and artists as well, and a room like this is the ideal place to escape to the scent of incense and a moment of silence.
If you don't have the space for a full tatami room, remember that tatami mats are often the perfect floor covering for a Zen bedroom. They look terrific with a platform bed or futon and they add dimension to neutral décor. When you want the kind of bedroom that exudes serenity and peace, there is nothing quite as inviting as tatami mats on the floor. Some homeowners also take tatami mats and incorporate them into a headboard that is mounted on the wall behind the bed. All of these new ways of displaying tatami mats differ from their original intention as a seat for Japanese nobility. Rather, today's mats have come to symbolize the Asian and Japanese home design aesthetic.
In addition to floor coverings, tatami mats are also used as bed mats to stabilize a platform bed frame. They are crafted in Japan with a double layer of fine rush grass and filled with sustainable straw fill or natural cellulose fiber. Bound with organic twine, tatami mats are hand crafted with a black or black and gold brocade border. Each mat features a moisture resistant barrier on the bottom side.

Read more: Irish police commissioner warns search for Long Island serial killer 'not CSI'
Suffolk County Executive, Steve Levy, is angry over the reports that County Laois-born Police Commission Richard Dormer mishandled the ongoing serial killer investigation on Long Island. So far ten bodies have been found in Suffolk and Nassau County.
Levy released a statement which said Dormer is the best Police Commissioner in the history of the county. His spokesman added that Levy had not asked Dormer to step down.
This week the New York Post reported that Levy was angry that Dormer had disclosed too much information about the bodies found along the Long Island coast, namely that the victims found were prostitutes who advertised their services on the classifieds website Craigslist. It was reported that Dormer was going to be fired from his position.
Levy told CBS Local news that this is not true. He said "This story, it was made up. There's no truth to it…Dormer has done a terrific job. I am not unhappy with the police commissioner in any way."
"There's a source, an unnamed source. This could be some guy from the PBA stirring up stuff that he read on a blog and the next thing you know, it's an article in a major newspaper. What a disgrace this is…To say that I'm going to be firing my own commissioner without any substantiation whatsoever is horrendous journalism."
Last year a search on Long Island began for New Jersey prostitute Shannan Gilbert (24). Gilbert advertised on Craigslist and was last seen in the area of Oak Beach after she had seen a client. Although she has not been found the police have found the remains of ten bodies. Only four have been identified so far. On Friday last police also found two adult teeth which are currently being tested.
The FBI, forensic scientist, behavioral analysis units and teams of police are now hunting down what they believe is a serial killer.

How about Toasters?
We are bombarded on all sides with advertising for all kinds of kitchen gadgets and gear, but the toaster seems to have fallen by the wayside in more ways than one. Most toasters that we've had in the past 10 years have been, well, how to put this nicely...not very satisfying. In fact they've been downright disasters. Not a one has lasted more than a year. We enjoy our toast, and this is not good.
We have just tossed out our 7th or 8th toaster in 5 years. The last one was a top of the line GE. My wife's first comment was that it seemed awefully tinny. She didn't like it from the get-go. I should have listened to her and taken it right back. It failed within 2 months. I took it back for replacement - no problems; however, my wife had made her point. She wanted a toaster that looked and felt solid, not a "wimpy" toaster. She told me to find a "good one". She was sick and tired of getting the short end of the stick.
After much searching on the internet I ended up buying a Krup's 2-slice toaster, model #TT9300 from BigBuyCity on eBay. I must say here that I've been burned by some Yankee peddlars in the past and had second thoughts about buying from this outfit, but I bit the bullet and went for it. They are a great outfit to do business with. I had my new toaster in 5 days, including the weekend! This is a machine and a half for the kitchen! The sides are metal castings - no flimsy, stamped metal here. As my wife put in her first slice she exclaimed, "Now this is a toaster!" It feels so different just pushing down on the start lever - smooth, solid, like a finely made machine. The browning selection knob is a marvel. On all of the other toasters I've had to put down my home-made rye bread twice in order to get it toasted properly. With this Krup toaster I dialed it in at 4 and got just about perfect toast the first time - dumb luck, but I didn't have to put it down twice, and there was still more room to go on the browning selection knob! I fine tuned it to 4.5 - perfect! For those small end pieces the lever can be raised a wee bit more by hand so that you can take out the "smalls" easier with your fingers. I still keep a pair of wood chop sticks around just in case...
We enjoy toasting our home-made breads, and this Krup toaster is the finest that we've come across to date, and I think that we've tried most of them out there. It's a bit commercial looking, but after using it my wife and I feel that it fits right in. So, if you're tired of pushing your bread down twice in order to get it toasted "just right", buy this Krups toaster. You'll be glad you did!

This SKINS Women's TRI shorts is no longer available although you may find similar or newer versions below:
Dynamic gradient compression helps accelerate your blood flow to get more oxygen to your active muscles. Increased circulation also helps reduce lactic acid build-up, so you can push yourself harder to achieve your personal goals.
Using Elastic Interface® Technology, the ultra-lightweight TRI400 chamois is designed specifically for triathletes looking for maximum comfort and performance.
Flatlock seams ensure reduced drag in the water, optimal compression, fit, muscle wrapping and comfort. Bonded hems on the legs and strategically placed carbon-infused fabric panels between the thighs mean less chafing and a better performance during the final stage of the race. The shorts also feature an internal pocket.
400 Fit
A super comfortable fit, more precise, targeted Gradient Compression and in some cases, a greater range of leg lengths for men and different body shapes for women
Dynamic Gradient Compression
Increases oxygen delivery to active muscles while in motion and reduces lactic-acid build-up for more power and less recovery time
Muscle Focus
Uniquely wrapping and supporting your key muscle groups to reduce movement and focus direction for less vibration in your muscles, less soft tissue damage and less soreness after exercise
Moisture Management
Keeping you dry through advanced wicking is inherent in all SKINS fabrics - moisture is drawn away from your skin, so you stay dry and comfortable
Permanent antimicrobial treatment discourages bacteria by ionically absorbing the odour causing substances normally associated with Lycra wear. These features are built into all our fabrics, so they can't ever be washed out.
50+ UV Protection
SKINS was born in Australia, so we know a thing or two about exerting ourselves in the sun. Our fabrics have a UV protection of 50+, which means you can get out and train harder without worrying about the sun related risks.
Memory MX
Memory MX fabric contains a unique high stretch elastomeric yarn – which returns to its original shape no matter how much stress you put it under
TRI400 Chamois
Using Elastic Interface® Technology, the ultra-lightweight chamois is designed specifically for triathletes featuring high density foam providing maximum protection, all-way stretch elastic insert expands and contracts with movement, eliminating friction as you pedal and textured surface allows for optimum moisture transfer and comfort
Anti Friction Carbon Panels
Thanks to the strategically placed carbon-infused fabric panels between the thighs anti-friction carbon generates up to 40% less friction. This means less chafing, more comfort – and a better performance when you run
TRI400 Fabric
Strategically placed panels of ultra smooth Toray Fabric minimising drag and giving you a more streamlined profile as you cut through the water.
Warp Knit
The fabric in SKINS is warp knitted using multiple fine quality yarns to give superior performance - Warp knit fabrics have no natural stretch – instead, the spandex mix ensures specific levels of elasticity and perfectly controlled compression

With Election Day in full swing, our Energy blogger, Claire, takes a look at "The Good, The Bad and the Energetic" today, in a guest post over on the excellent Oil Rules blog. Here's an excerpt from Part 1:
"The…election and rising gas prices have raised the topic of energy to a higher level of importance for most Americans. Whatever it takes to make us examine what is required to produce the energy we crave in this country is good because it causes us to consider our responsibilities to the world today and to future generations.

Theodore Roosevelt, years ahead of his time, was an instrumental force in initiating wise conservation of our resources.
"In utilizing and conserving the natural resources of the Nation, the one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight… The conservation of our natural resources and their proper use constitute the fundamental problem which underlies almost every other problem of our national life."
Address to the National Editorial Association,
Jamestown, Virginia, June 10, 1907.
The importance of the resources used for the production of energy show that Teddy Roosevelt was especially correct in predicting that conservation of resources would affect every other problem in our lives."

Healing Places: Pasture Land in Upstate New York
Sometimes healing spaces are not only in far-away romantic, picturesque places. As Asha Sanaker from Ithaca, New York points out, these sacred spaces often encompass our back yards and our livelihoods:
"This is our pasture on our small farm in upstate New York. Over the years this land has raised sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, pigs, rabbits, foxes, deer, ground hogs, thousands of birds, innumerable barn cats, two little girls, and two adults. In the summer I sit in this swing and watch billions of fireflies dance in the tall grass. Currently we are fighting against the incursion of hydrofracking in the area, and I fear that this precious bit of earth that I've been entrusted with will be irreparably damaged. It is a tenuous, poignant time full of beauty and doubt.
This land is the most sacred place in the world right now for me and I wish I felt more confident I could protect it."
Ms. Sanaker sent this photo in response to our interview with Esther Sternberg in "The Science of Healing Places." What's your favorite healing place?

FDA cautions vets to be aware of risks in using, stocking opioids
Groups petition DOJ for review of Tyson merger
By MICHELE F. MIHALJEVICH
Indiana Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representatives of three of the organizations that signed a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) expressing concerns about the proposed merger of Tyson Foods and Hillshire Brands aren't optimistic the agency will heed their request for a thorough review of the transaction.
Tyson and Hillshire officials announced last month Tyson had agreed to purchase Hillshire for approximately $8.55 billion. The cash deal includes all of Hillshire's outstanding net debt. The deal is expected to close by Sept. 27, the last day of Tyson's fiscal year.
In a letter sent to the DOJ's Antitrust Division on July 24, a group of 82 agriculture, rural and consumer organizations said the proposed sale would "substantially lessen competition, or tend to create a monopoly." The letter said the merger should be enjoined by the DOJ and "that the complexity of the merging parties and the interrelationships between Tyson, Hillshire, hog farmers and other rival meat processing companies warrants a thorough review."
The Ohio Farmers Union signed the letter but its president, Joe Logan, said he's doubtful the DOJ will look more deeply into the proposed merger.
"The federal government has the role to assure markets are open and competitive," he said. "But every indication we've had is that they are just inclined to not do anything to preclude this merger and let it go through."
Logan said a number of members of the union are "indignant" the government hasn't already taken a stronger stance against the proposed transaction. Combining Tyson, the nation's No. 1 meat and poultry processor, and Hillshire, ranked 11th, "would further reduce competition among buyers of market hogs, lowering farm prices for hog farmers," he noted.
"Competition is an essential element in our so-called 'free market' system. Robust competition, among many buyers and sellers, can boost farm prices and also effectively limit price increases for consumers."
Hillshire's products include Hillshire Farm, Jimmy Dean and Ball Park brands. Hillshire had about $4 billion in sales in fiscal 2013 and has more than 9,000 employees, the company has said.
Tyson had sales of $35.4 billion last year, according to the company. In addition to Tyson products, other brands include Corn King, Lady Aster and Star Ranch Angus beef.
A representative of Hillshire said officials had no comment beyond previously released press statements. A Tyson spokesman said the company would comply with regulatory requirements for the acquisition, but would not otherwise comment.
Attempts to speak with a DOJ representative about the letter and the review process were unsuccessful by press time.
The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition also signed the letter to the DOJ. Paul Wolfe, policy specialist for the organization, said he's not assuming the agency will conduct a more thorough review of the proposed sale.
"I'm hopeful that the DOJ will take this seriously, but I don't know how they're going to treat it," he said. "I'm not super optimistic, but we'll keep trying."
Part of the coalition's platform is to work on issues that impact family farmers, Wolfe noted. "It's been a longstanding fight for us to ensure these kinds of mergers are given adequate review," he said. "When there's consolidation in food production and processing, there's less money going into the pockets of farmers."
The Center for Food Safety, which also signed the DOJ letter, is concerned the proposed merger will be a case of larger companies implementing a "bigger and bigger industrial food model," said Jaydee Hanson, a senior policy analyst with the organization.
"So many of the small farmers are now really once again just contract laborers," he stated. "This will be one less company in the mix, one less voice to say there might be a different way to produce chicken."
The Center for Food Safety is not hopeful about the DOJ's response, Hanson said, adding he hopes the agency will look at the merger and acknowledge there are reasons for the Clayton Act. Section 7 of the act prohibits mergers and acquisitions where the impact may be to diminish competition or form a monopoly.
Tyson announces sale, closings
Last week, Tyson officials said the company had reached an agreement with JBS SA to sell its poultry businesses in Mexico and Brazil. Tyson said it expects the sale, valued at $575 million, to be completed by the end of the year.
The Mexican business has three plants and 5,400 team members, while the Brazilian operation has three plants and employs 5,000.
Earlier in July, Tyson also announced it is closing plants in Cherokee, Iowa, Buffalo, N.Y., and Santa Teresa, N.M. About 950 people work at the three facilities.
