Fennel and Cinnamon-Rubbed Roast Chicken and Lemons With Potato Wedges
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.
Some time back, I came across Michael Chiarello's toasted spice rub. It has since become a staple in my kitchen, one I employ handily for a variety of slow-roasted meats. Not only is it easy, but it fills the house with an incomparably enticing scent. Over the years, I've adapted it in various ways, adding a little more heat here, some aromatics there.
In this case, I've settled on a bit of cayenne and a dash of allspice. You can use most any type of chili powder you have on hand, but I like to add some ancho for its depth of flavor and ruddy hue. Combined with freshly toasted and ground fennel and coriander seeds, some black peppercorns, and cinnamon, the spices are rubbed liberally on the chicken before roasting, for a burnished, flavorful crust. But that's not all! The chicken goes in the oven with potato wedges and lemon halves, which cook in the rich, spice-laden jus. Roasting lemons is one of my favorite tricks—it takes the edge off their bitterness while leaving enough acidity to keep things bright and interesting. Here, they offer just the right zing squeezed on top of this comforting main course.
Give the chicken enough resting time before carving so you don't lose all the juices and end up with something dry and dull. In the meantime, I like to make a quick pan sauce, deglazing the browned bits with a bit of white wine. The result is an easy, fragrant meal that everyone from company to kids can love.

How Macklemore helped these 2 superfans come together and find true love
In 2013, Macklemore, known for hits "Can't Hold Us," "Thrift Shop," and "Downtown," performed at Pier 36 in Manhattan, New York, for a YouTube promotional event. Two of the rapper's biggest superfans — Carey, originally from Montgomery, N.J., and Ammar, from Mclean, Va. — applied to dance onstage through a Facebook post. And, as fate would have it, both made the cut and met outside the venue while corralled in a holding area.
Ammar, who had thrown himself a Macklemore-themed 29th birthday party just a few weeks before the concert, dressed for the occasion. "My roommates and I saw this guy in this cheetah onesie and I just remember thinking that guy is totally crazy and I think I'm a little bit afraid of him," Carey said of her first impression of Ammar.
However, because of his jumpsuit, Ammar and his roommate were approached by producers to get a prime spot onstage. Since Carey and her friends, all physical therapy students at Columbia University, just wore "normal" clothes, the groups were separated.
While Ammar thought that was going to be the last time he'd see Carey and her friends, Cupid intervened. As Carey was walking toward the subway station, she heard someone call out, "Yo PTs!" — as in "physical therapists" — and "we turned around and lo and behold: Cheetah Onesie Guy," she recalled.
The group went to the bar Schiller's together, and as they were wrapping up, Ammar realized he wanted to stay in touch with his new friends — Carey in particular. "I didn't want to make it awkward, there were five of us, and I just said, 'Hey, you guys seem pretty awesome, and I don't want to make this weird but can I get one of your numbers?'" he explained. "And at that point, her roommate actually pulled out her phone and gave me her number."
But that exchange didn't deter Carey from reaching out to Ammar over Facebook shortly thereafter, writing that she was out with a few of her friends and he and his roommate should come hang out.
"I showed up and she was talking to some other guy!" Ammar remembered.
Once Carey was done with that conversation she turned to Ammar, and from there they hit it off.
Ammar, who was moving to Washington, D.C., for a few months, asked Carey to accompany him on a road trip for their first date. "And I said absolutely not because why would any sane person go on a road trip with a guy they just met?!" she said of her response. But then she had a change of heart. "My mom made me send pictures of his license plate and made me text her like every hour to make sure I was OK," she said.
And that she was. "I don't know what I was thinking, but it was kind of love from there on," Carey explained. Two years later, Ammar took Carey back to the bar Schiller's and proposed. "She said yes — thankfully," Ammar joked.
For their wedding, Macklemore, who brought the couple together, played a major part. Carey walked down the aisle to a piano version of "Same Love." For their first dance, they had to "really step it up a notch" so they choreographed a dance-off to, fittingly enough, Macklemore's "Dance Off."
"It was kind of cool bringing Macklemore back to our wedding, kind of full circle," Carey said. "Meeting Ammar dancing onstage and then starting this new chapter of our life together again dancing to Macklemore in front of all of our favorite people."
But if it wasn't for Macklemore, Ammar believes their paths would've crossed anyway. "I just think the universe had it out for us to meet each other."
And for the couple to meet Macklemore too. While visiting D.C. recently for an event, the musician, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, walked into the restaurant Bus Boys & Poets, where Carey, who's pregnant with her first child, and Ammar were eating. "It was completely surreal but at the same time, we had so much to thank him for. So we walked up to him and thanked him for his music and for helping guide us to find each other," Ammar said.
"Ben was incredible, he was completely engaged, and chatted with us for about 15 minutes. He asked to see our first dance wedding video and was more than happy to take photos with us," he added. "It was really a dream encounter with someone who has had such an impact on our relationship."

Apple CEO Tim Cook is "extremely sorry" that the new Apple Maps program isn't as good as it could be and has disappointed and frustrated customers.
"At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers," he wrote in a letter to customers. "With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment."
Apple has taken grief from consumers and pundits for launching an incomplete app that is doesn't offer the detail and user tools the Google Maps app did. Apple ended a deal with the popular Google Maps to introduce a mapping app of its own.
Cook said Apple engineers were hard at work improving the Apple Maps app. Until then, Cook said, customers might try using a competitors app, he wrote.
"Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world," Cook wrote.

A look at some of the biggest deals in NHL historyby John Kreiser
There's not a hockey fan alive who doesn't think he can be a general manager -- after all, that's part of the fun of fantasy hockey. We all think we could make "the" deal, the one that turns our team into a Stanley Cup champion.
But as any real NHL GM can tell you, it's not as easy as it looks. Aside from dealing with salary cap considerations, pulling off an impact trade is a matter of making sure you're not trying to put square pegs in round holes (or vice versa).
Big trades are big gambles. Make the right one (like L.A.'s deal for Jeff Carter in late February) and you might win the Stanley Cup. Make the wrong one ... you get the picture.
As teams (and fans) talk about trades this offseason, here's a look at some of the biggest impact deals in NHL history.
|Aug. 9, 1988
|Jimmy Carson
Martin Gelinas
Three first-round picks
|Wayne Gretzky
Marty McSorley
Mike Krushelnyski
More than a quarter of a century later, this is still the biggest trade in NHL history -- if not in the history of North American team sports.
Gretzky had just led the Oilers to their fourth Stanley Cup in five years, was rewriting the NHL record book on an annual basis and was part of a nucleus that was just reaching its prime. But owner Peter Pocklington decided that Gretzky, whose contract was due to expire a year later, would become unaffordable and began shopping him. He found a willing partner in Bruce McNall, the new owner of the Kings, who was looking to making a splash.
The deal rocked the sports world. The idea that Gretzky could leave Western Canada for Southern California left Canadians in shock. The Kings gave up Carson, a 50-goal scorer who was just turning 20; Gelinas, a promising young forward, three first-rounders and $15 million for hockey's greatest player and a pair of veterans in McSorley and Krushelnyski.
The trade was an instant win for the Kings -- Gretzky immediately made hockey relevant in Southern California. Attendance soared as Kings games became celebrity-filled events. The Kings beat the Oilers in the playoffs that spring, and in 1993 made the first trip to the Stanley Cup Final in franchise history.
Over the years, Gretzky's impact off the ice has been even more important. The growth of hockey in warm-weather markets -- with talent already in the pipeline and more on the way every year -- may be Gretzky's biggest legacy to hockey, even more than all the records he holds.
The Oilers rebounded from their 1989 playoff loss to the Kings and won the Cup again in 1990 -- their fifth championship in seven years. But they haven't won since, and haven't made the playoffs since 2006, the only time since their last Cup that they got to the Final.
|Oct. 4, 1991
|Bernie Nicholls
Steven Rice
Louie DeBrusk
|Mark Messier
Future considerations
Three years after the Oilers dealt Gretzky, it was Messier's turn to go. Messier had become the Oilers' star and leader after The Great One was dealt, and he led them to the Cup in 1990. But after the Oilers lost the '91 Western Conference Finals to Minnesota, Messier requested a renegotiated contract, refused to report when he didn't get one and was dealt to New York just after the start of the season. The price was Nicholls and two youngsters, one of whom (Rice) had been a first-round pick.
Rangers GM Neil Smith, whose franchise hadn't won the Stanley Cup since 1940, said he made the deal because he was desperate to bring in someone who could teach his team how to win. Messier showed right away that he wasn't going to accept anything less than victory. In his first game as a Ranger, he set up the tying goal in the third period as New York rallied for a 2-1 win at the Montreal Forum, a place that had haunted them for decades.
By the end of the season, Messier had led the Rangers to the first Presidents' Trophy in franchise history; two years later, he scored the winning goal in Game 7 as the Rangers ended the longest championship drought in NHL history. He is still revered today as one of hockey's greatest leaders -- and in New York as the man who brought the Cup to the Big Apple.
The Oilers, who had also dealt away dynasty members such as Grant Fuhr, Paul Coffey and Jari Kurri, got back to the conference finals in 1992 before losing to Chicago, then failed to make the playoffs again until 1997. Nicholls played only 95 games with the Oilers before being traded to New Jersey, and neither Rice nor DeBrusk became an impact player.
|Nov. 7, 1975
|Phil Esposito
Carol Vadnais
|Jean Ratelle
Brad Park
Joe Zanussi
It's easy to forget now how much the Bruins and Rangers loathed each other in the early and mid-1970s. The NHL's two doormats at the end of the Original Six era both revived at about the same time -- but the Bruins, led by Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito, were a little better. They beat the Rangers in the first round on the way to the Stanley Cup in 1970, then knocked off the Rangers again in the Final two years later.
This wasn't just a rivalry among fans -- the players on both teams couldn't stand each other. Park wrote a book that included a blast at the Bruins, while Esposito openly loathed the Rangers and everything about New York.
However, when both teams got off to slow starts in 1975-76, Rangers GM Emile Francis and his Boston counterpart, Harry Sinden, pulled off what's still one of the most shocking deals in NHL history. The Bruins sent Esposito, coming off a 127-point season, and Vadnais, their second-best defenseman, to the Rangers for Park, the NHL's second-best defenseman, and Ratelle, a slick center. Fans and players on both teams were stunned -- this was trading with the enemy.
But as usually happens, old enemies become new friends, and the newcomers quickly blended in.
In terms of performance, the Bruins got much the better of the deal. Park and Ratelle led Boston to the Final in 1977 and '78 and helped keep the Bruins among the NHL's top teams for the next decade. The Rangers missed the playoffs in their first two seasons after the trade, and Esposito was never the scorer in New York that he was in Boston -- though he did help the Rangers get to the '79 Final before retiring two years later.
Unfortunately for the Rangers, this deal led to another one that was a big win for the Bruins. In an effort to make Esposito more comfortable, the Rangers brought in his longtime right wing, Ken Hodge, the following summer while sending youngster Rick Middleton to Boston. But Middleton scored more than 400 goals for Boston, including five consecutive seasons of 40 or more. Meanwhile, Hodge had 62 points in 1976-77 as the Rangers missed the playoffs, was sent to the minors after a slow start in '77-78 and never returned to the NHL.
|Dec. 6, 1995
|Patrick Roy
Mike Keane
|Andrei Kovalenko
Martin Rucinsky
Jocelyn Thibault
The Canadiens owe their last two Stanley Cups to Roy, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in both 1986 and 1993. But after being pulled during an 11-1 home loss to Detroit on Dec. 2, 1995, Roy stormed off the ice and then told team president Ronald Corey that he had played his final game as a Canadien.
He was right -- four days later, new GM Rejean Houle dealt Roy and team captain Keane to the recently relocated Quebec Nordiques, now playing in Denver. The price was a pair of young forwards along with highly regarded (and French-Canadian) goaltender Thibault, a 20-year-old who was taken No. 10 by the Nordiques in 1993.
For the Avs, a talented young team on the rise, Roy was the final piece of the puzzle. He added a third Stanley Cup to his collection the following spring when he led Colorado to the first championship in franchise history, capping a sweep of Florida with a 1-0, triple-OT win in Game 4. He got ring No. 4 as the Avs won again in 2001. Roy finished his career two years later as the winningest goaltender in NHL history.
The deal didn't work out so well for Montreal. All three of the players the Canadiens received had lengthy careers, but none made much of an impact for the Habs, who have yet to get back to the Final since the deal.
|May 15, 1967
|Phil Esposito
Ken Hodge
Fred Stanfield
|Gilles Marotte
Pit Martin
Jack Norris
Bobby Orr's arrival in 1966 reinvigorated hockey in Boston, though the Bruins missed the playoffs in 1966-67 for the eighth consecutive season. Meanwhile, the Hawks were coming off the first regular-season championship in franchise history but had been upset in the opening round of the playoffs and felt they needed some tweaking.
They decided the player they wanted was Marotte, a hard-hitting defenseman who impressed a lot of people around the NHL. With Stan Mikita as their No. 1 center and Bobby Hull providing plenty of goals on left wing, the Hawks were willing to trade Esposito, a 25-year-old center who was emerging as a big scorer -- and throw in Hodge and Stanfield, a pair of kids who hadn't been able to crack the lineup on a full-time basis.
The Bruins sent Marotte, Martin, a skilled center, and reserve goaltender Norris to the Hawks in what turned out to be one of the steals of the century.
With plenty of help from Orr, Esposito set offensive records while winning five scoring titles in eight seasons. Hodge, playing on Espo's right wing, turned into a 50-goal scorer, while Stanfield became a superb second-line center who had at least 20 goals and 54 points in six consecutive seasons. The trio formed the nucleus of the Bruins' Cup-winning teams in 1970 and '72.
Martin was a solid player in his 11 seasons in Chicago, but Marotte never became the kind of player the Hawks had expected and Norris played just 10 games for Chicago. The Hawks were among the NHL's best teams into the mid-1970s -- but if they hadn't made the trade, they might not have had to wait until 2010 to end their Stanley Cup drought.
|March 4, 1991
|Ron Francis
Ulf Samuelsson
Grant Jennings
|John Cullen
Zarley Zalapski
Jeff Parker
The Penguins had never gotten as far as the final four before finally showing signs of life in 1990-91. But while they had stars like Mario Lemieux and Paul Coffey, there still had a couple of big holes -- notably a No. 2 center and a shutdown defenseman.
What the Penguins did have were Cullen, who had stepped up when Lemieux was injured and piled up points, and Zalapski, a good offensive defenseman. With Lemieux getting healthy again, Craig Patrick did what all good GMs do -- he traded from his excess to fill his needs. Patrick sent Cullen, Zalapski and Parker to Hartford for a package that included Francis and Samuelsson.
Not even Patrick could have imagined how well the deal turned out.
With Francis as the No. 2 center behind Lemieux and Samuelsson providing the kind of crease-clearing help the Penguins had never had, Pittsburgh rolled all the way to the first Stanley Cup in franchise history that spring, then repeated the following year.
As for the Whalers: Cullen had 16 points in 13 games at the end of 1991-92, added 77 points in as many games the following season, but was dealt to Toronto after a slow start in 1992-93. His career was interrupted when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1997; he made a brief comeback 18 months later, winning the Masterton Trophy just before retiring for good in '99. Zalapski had 20 goals in his first full season with the Whale and 65 points in his second, but never had more than 37 points again despite playing professionally until 2009-10.
|June 20, 1992
|Ron Hextall
Steve Duchesne
Kerry Huffman
Mike Ricci
Peter Forsberg
Chris Simon
Two first-round picks
|Eric Lindros
The Nordiques took Lindros with the No. 1 pick in the 1991 NHL Draft, although he had asked them not to, saying he didn't want to play for Quebec. He sat out the 1991-92 season, playing for Team Canada at the Winter Olympics, before the Nordiques decided they would have to trade him.
The specter of Lindros being dealt overshadowed the 1992 draft in Montreal. The Nords reached a deal with the Flyers, then wanted to negate it and accept a package from the Rangers. Ten days later, arbitrator Larry Bertuzzi decided that the trade with the Flyers was valid and awarded Lindros to Philadelphia.
From the start, it was obvious that on the ice, Lindros was every bit as good as advertised. With good speed, soft hands and enormous size, he quickly became a star, winning the Hart Trophy as MVP in 1995.
But the Nordiques didn't do badly either. The key for them was Forsberg, the Flyers' first-round pick in 1991. By the time the franchise had relocated to Denver in 1995, the Swedish center was also a star -- and a big reason the Avs won the Stanley Cup in their first season in Colorado. He was also a key to their second Cup in 2001.
Lindros got the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final in 1997, only to have his team swept by Detroit. But beginning in 1998, he suffered a series of concussions that took its toll on his career. He sat out all of the 2000-01 season and was eventually forced to retire due to injury in 2006-07 after putting up 865 points in only 760 games.
|June 6, 1986
|Cam Neely
First-round pick
|Barry Pederson
One of a general manager's biggest nightmares is giving up on a player too soon.
The Canucks made Neely, a local product, the ninth pick in the 1983 NHL Draft and brought him to the NHL as an 18-year-old. He had 31, 39 and 34 points in three seasons with Vancouver while taking 137 and 126 penalty minutes in the last two. But coach Tom Watt wasn't thrilled with the youngster's defense, and on Neely's 21st birthday, the Canucks sent him along with their first-round pick -- the No. 3 choice overall -- to Boston for Pederson, who had scored 129 goals in three seasons from 1981-84.
It was apparent almost from the start that the Bruins had made a killing. Neely became the prototypical power forward, scoring 36 goals in his first season with the B's and powering them to the Final in 1988 and '90. He had three 50-goal seasons before being forced to retire in 1996 due to a knee injury (he's now the team president). Pederson had 24 goals in his first season with Vancouver but never broke the 20-goal mark again. To make things even worse, the Bruins used the pick they received to take Glen Wesley, who developed into an All-Star defenseman and went on to a 20-year career in the NHL.
|Jan. 2, 1992
|Doug Gilmour
Jamie Macoun
Kent Manderville
Ric Nattress
Rick Wamsley
|Craig Berube
Alexander Godynyuk
Gary Leeman
Michel Petit
Jeff Reese
The Flames still had the core of their 1989 Cup team as 1991 turned into 1992, but the window for a second championship run appeared to be closing. Toronto GM Cliff Fletcher, who had built the Cup-winning team in Calgary, had moved on to the Leafs and fleeced his former team by getting Gilmour, a Hall of Fame center who was defensively solid and put up 127 and 111 points in his first two seasons with the Leafs, two useful defensemen in Macoun and Nattress and a good backup goaltender in Wamsley.
Leeman, a former 50-goal scorer, was the centerpiece for the Flames, but none of the five players who came back to Calgary made any impact.
The deal set up the Leafs for their best post-expansion performance -- they made back-to-back trips to the conference finals in 1993 and 1994. The Flames missed the playoffs in 1992 and didn't win a playoff series again until 2004.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
Would you like your birthday, wedding, graduation or employment day reflected on your car plate? It's possible.
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new phase called of 'Your Memorable Moments on Your Vehicle's Plate' initiative for U-Coded plates. The initiative avails the opportunity for customers to choose five-digit plates bearing this code personalised to resemble important events in their lives such as birthday, employment, wedding and graduation day, among others, according to the RTA.
The available numbers relate to the period from 1967 to 2017. The cost of the special plate is Dh1,620 each and customers can buy their number plates from RTA Customers Happiness Centres all over Dubai, service providers, strategic partners, RTA website (www.rta.ae), or the smart app 'Drivers & Vehicles.'
"This stage fits well with the intention of adding to people's happiness in Ramadan and the joyous Eid al-Fitr," said Sultan Al Marzouqi, director of vehicles licensing at RTA's Licensing Agency.

Sultan Al Marzouqi, Director of Vehicles Licensing, RTA's Licensing Agency, said: "The U Code number plates bearing dates from 1967 to 2017 will be issued, once available on the list of plates in RTA's website. The total cost of the plate is AED1620.

"This phase, of 'Your Memorable Moments on Your Vehicle's Plate' initiative, follows the remarkable turnout seen by previous phases of Code "S" and "T" for the dates from 1981 to 1998. This initiative reflects the core role of RTA in providing new and premium services to raise customers' satisfaction and happiness through engaging them in selecting personalised & important numbers for their vehicle plates," concluded Al Marzouqi.
It had been expected to sell for between £15,000 and £25,000 but the first Manx vehicle registration plate ever to be issued was eventually sold last week for £100,000. It is, says auctioneer Murray Keefe, a valuable piece of Manx history.
It was the first Isle of Man number plate and people do like to have number 1. At the auction we had 4 telephone lines wanting to bid on the number plate and quite a few bidding in the room so I was not surprised it made so much money knowing that some of the plates in the United Kingdom make substantially more than that. "
A businessman who bought the No.1 limited edition licence plate in Abu Dhabi for Dh31 million has been sentenced to three years in jail for issuing a dud cheque to the organisers.
The Emirati man had bought the special number plate at an auction last year.
The Abu Dhabi Misdemeanour Court handed down the sentence to the Emirati man after he was found guilty of fraud and issuing a bounced cheque.
Abu Dhabi public prosecution had ordered for the detention of the 32-year-old man after organisers of the auction filed a complaint that he issued them a cheque after buying the number plate, even though he didn't have enough balance in his bank account.
Prosecutors had detained the businessman. He was charged with fraud and issuing a bounced cheque.
And during interrogation, the Emirati admitted to giving the cheque to orginisers despite being aware he didn't have sufficient funds in his account, said prosecutors.
"He said he was planning to re-sale the rare number plate at a profit so he could pay the value of the cheque to the organisers and maintain enough balance in his account," said a prosecutor.
Authorities, however, said one can only re-sale a number plate bought in an auction after one has paid the full amount and that any resale before making the payment is considered illegal.
The auction, which generated Dh99 million, was hosted by Emirates Auction in cooperation with Abu Dhabi Police on November 19, 2016 at Emirates Palace hotel to commemorate the Abu Dhabi Government's Golden Jubilee.
And the Emirati beat several bidders for the coveted plate after starting at Dh1 million. The limited-edition golden jubilee plates all featured the number 50 in the top left corner.
Fifty vanity Abu Dhabi number plates were up for grabs at the Emirates Auction event.
Overseas territories
Some of the British overseas territories, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, use similar number plates to the UK, with the same colours and typeface.
A number plate owner has had their number plate withdrawn by the DVLA after a member of the public complained to police that it spelt 'jihad'.
The Ford Fiesta was driven around with the personalised plate for six months before it was reported to officials.
Licence bosses have now banned the plate which was written JH11 HAD and sent the owner a replacement.
The car was reported after it was spotted driving around Newport, Gwent.
One woman who reported it to police after she saw it being driven in her home city said: "How can this be allowed with everything that is going on in the world at the moment?
"I have told the police about it and they said they would make a note of it.
"Surely this plate cannot be legal?"
A DVLA spokesman said the personalised plate had been bought in October last year and had "slipped through the net" of offensive registrations.
The spokesman said: "We try to identify all combinations that may cause offence, and on the rare occasion where potentially offensive numbers slip through the net, steps are taken to withdraw the number.
"As soon as we became aware of this last week we withdrew it and would have then sent a replacement plate."
Plates resembling the word 'jihad', which literally means striving or struggling in Arabic, and is associated with the concept of 'holy war', are unavailable, for example plates starting with JE and ending HAD.
Others which are banned include HO57 AGE, a close match to "hostage", and the chain of characters O54 MA because of its resemblance to the name Osama.

Virginia wine exports grow
The United Kingdom looks like the most promising market
- September 28, 2010
- |
Christopher Parker has proved that it is possible to have a second career in the Virginia wine industry without growing grapes or making wine. In 2008, he founded New Horizon Wines in Reston, a company dedicated to exporting Virginia wine to the United Kingdom and perhaps someday to continental Europe.
Already he has persuaded the Whole Foods Market in Kensington, London, to create a Virginia wine section and to sell 15 of the state's better wines. "I was told this selection is larger than any range of Virginia wines in any of the Whole Foods Markets in the U.S." He also has placed Virginia wines at shops in Oxfordshire, Kent and Kew. He expects big results from Gov. Bob McDonnell's summer trade mission to England, which promoted Virginia products, including wine.
Parker, who was born in England but has spent the last two decades living in Virginia, had a successful first career in software development. Along the way he picked up a taste for fine wine. As a young man, he briefly ran a small business that imported wines into the U.K. from New Zealand and other countries with up-and-coming viticulture regions. "Wine exports from New Zealand in the late 1970s were relatively insignificant. In recent years that country has been exporting wine annually worth $760 million."
At this time Virginia pales in comparison. Last year, 399,744 cases of Virginia wines sold for a total of about $70 million, with only a small amount of that, less than $100,000, coming from export sales. However, Virginia appears poised for an export boom, and the U.K. is likely to be the biggest customer, Parker asserts. Williamsburg Winery began sales to the U.K. three years ago, with exports this year expected in the range of 350 to 450 cases. The winery also has a regular customer in Denmark. Still, the U.K. looks to be the most promising market for these reasons:
- The U.K. produces very little wine of its own and imports more wine than any other nation, about $8 billion worth annually. This thirst means consumers are eager to discover the "next new thing in wine."
- Many Brits feel a connection to Virginia. They know that Virginia's English settlers were this country's winemaking pioneers.
- The British are familiar with the varietals that make Virginia's best wines: Viognier among the whites; and Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, two red varieties used to make the Bordeaux wines so popular in the U.K.
- Virginia Viogniers represent good values compared with French Viognier-based wines of comparable quality; the same can be said for blended reds from Virginia compared with Bordeaux reds.
- Virginia wines tend to be more European in style than wines from California.
(Parker has selected wines from these Virginia producers to distribute in the U.K.: Barboursville Vineyards; Boxwood Winery; Breaux Vineyards; Keswick Vineyards; Pearmund Cellars; Rappahannock Cellars; Veramar Vineyard; Veritas Vineyard and Winery; White Hall Vineyards; and Williamsburg Winery.)

For Vladimir Putin the break-up of the Soviet Union was the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe" of the 20th century. Everyone has something that makes them tick. Putin's obsession is the restoration of Russia's pride through the restoration of its imperium.
The Russian seizure of control of the Crimean Peninsula, a clear violation of the very international law Putin likes to invoke, has turned Ukraine into a European tinderbox. Sarajevo and the Sudetenland: Europe's ghosts hover. Putin argues he is protecting Russian-speakers from the usurpers of Kiev, a pro-European government seen in Moscow as the undercover agents of a predatory West whose talk of liberty is mere camouflage for the advance of its interests.
This is baloney, a "trumped-up" Russian case, in Secretary of State John Kerry's phrase.
It is worth recalling that the catalyst for this crisis was not proposed Ukrainian membership in the European Union. It was not proposed Ukrainian membership in NATO. It was not some threat to Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Crimea. It was, in its infinite banality, a planned trade agreement between Kiev and the European Union.
This was the minnow Putin inflated into a whale through his attempt to strong-arm Ukraine into rejection of the deal, a course the Russian president had followed with equal imperial vehemence elsewhere in Russia's near-abroad. On this occasion, however, the people rose up, forcing Ukraine's bungling, sybaritic, trigger-happy president, Viktor Yanukovych, into flight and the arms of his Russian patron.
Putin's Crimean message to President Obama and the West is clear: Not one inch further. After NATO's expansion into the Baltic states (and how critical NATO's protection looks now to Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia), after the European Union's embrace of the likes of Poland and Romania (freed, like the Baltic states, from the Soviet empire), after the humbling by NATO of Serbia (Russia's Orthodox ally), after the West's perceived manipulation of a United Nations mandate to have its way in Libya — after all this the Russian president, as he has already made clear in Syria, is saying: "Game over."
But this is no game. Putin's obsession with a 20th-century order, with turning back the clock to before the "catastrophe," blinds him to the passionate attachment to their nationhood of states liberated from stifling Soviet subjection. There is a grotesque amnesia to Russia's Ukrainian gambit.
It was in Ukraine, beginning in the 1930s, that Stalin chose to conduct his first experiment in agrarian "utopia," collectivizing the land, declaring war on the kulaks for grain, and ultimately annihilating the livelihood of the Ukrainian peasant farmer. The result, in 1933, was famine; several million died. The Nazis later did their worst in Ukraine with similar contempt for the very idea of its independence. More millions died.
To imagine Germany today (unthinkable notion) moving into western Poland with a claim of protecting ethnic Germans there conveys some idea of the historical offense Putin has given to many Ukrainians — and of the fear he strikes into other nations with Russian minorities and dire memories of Moscow, like Lithuania.
Obama has said Putin will pay a price. Kerry has spoken of a "huge price." But the administration's Syrian equivocations underwrote Putin's assertiveness and sense of impunity. Options are now limited. This is the Age of Reluctance, a time when American power is dominant but no longer determinant. Americans have turned inward.
The president must lead. Since 1945 America's security and prosperity have been tied to the steady spread of liberty in a Europe made whole and free. There is a vital U.S. interest in not seeing this process reversed — not in the land of Yalta and the corpse-filled ravine of Babi Yar.
If Ukraine were subjugated to Moscow once more, or dismembered through a Russian annexation of Crimea in flagrant violation of Russia's own commitments in 1994, Obama would become the president who presided over a watershed diminishment of the trans-Atlantic bond.
Pivot to Asia cannot mean abandonment of Ukraine. Every form of diplomatic, trade and economic pressure should now be mustered by Obama to isolate Putin (China may be ready to help, given its commitment to noninterference); every political means used to buttress the Kiev government; and NATO's readiness to defend its members should be ostentatiously underscored.
President Obama might say this: "We need to use the United Nations Security Council and believe that preserving law and order in today's complex and turbulent world is one of the few ways to keep international relations from sliding into chaos. The law is still the law, and we must follow it whether we like it or not. Under current international law, force is permitted only in self-defense or by the decision of the Security Council. Anything else is unacceptable under the United Nations Charter and would constitute an act of aggression."
The words, of course, are Putin's. He used them about Syria — a real catastrophe.

Embattled actress Lindsay Lohan is "happy" and "healthy" as she serves out a court-ordered stint in rehab, according to her mother Dina Loha.
The "Mean Girls" star checked into the Betty Ford clinic in California on May 3 as part of a plea deal to avoid jail after she confessed to lying to police officers about a traffic accident last year, violating her probation on a jewelry theft charge.
Lohan reached out to her mom on Sunday to mark Mother's Day, and Dina reveals the actress is doing well as she continues with her 90-day treatment.
She tells the New York Daily News, "I just spoke to Lindsay at Betty Ford. She's doing great. She's clear, she's happy, she's healthy."
Lohan's mother had planned to visit her daughter to mark the special day, but the star insisted she stay in New York with her siblings.
Dina Lohan also slammed reports the 26 year old wanted to leave the clinic after bosses allegedly confiscated her Adderall medication, a stimulant used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
She adds, "I don't know who's saying that. It's so evil. Lindsay will do what she has to do. She just needs to breathe and find out who she is again. And she's going to stay there and do that."
The 50 year old also revealed her daughter's former legal representative Mark Heller worked for free on the case, stating, "He's an angel too. He works for us for no money."
Lohan has officially re-hired her former lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley to help her deal with the case.

President Obama is scheduled to visit Pope Francis at the Vatican on Thursday, and the meeting will probably take the usual form of encounters between presidents and pontiffs: a polite conversation about their common agenda on poverty and world peace, plus a gentle remonstrance from the Holy Father on abortion and religious liberty.
But if Obama and Francis had time to get to know each other, they might each benefit by trading notes on practical politics, as presidents and British prime ministers often do, and on the lessons they can draw from each other's experiences.
They have this in common: Each made history with his election — the first African American president, the first Latin American pope. Each came to office to repair a deep crisis — one economic, the other institutional. Each was buoyed by astonishingly broad public support from liberals and conservatives alike.
And they are both political strategists, even if they lead very different institutions. "Beneath [Francis'] simple, humble exterior is the mind of an incredibly crafty and subtle Jesuit politician," says John L. Allen Jr., the ace Vatican watcher who now writes for the Boston Globe.
But one year after his elevation, Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is riding high in the polls. In a Pew Research survey this month, 85% of American Catholics said they have a favorable view of the pontiff, well above the 74% who admired his predecessor, Benedict XVI. Church leaders talk of a "Francis effect" that's bringing fallen-away Roman Catholics back to the fold. "He has rebranded Catholicism," wrote the Rev. Thomas Reese, a Jesuit writer. "Business schools could use him as a case study."
Obama only wishes he still had such problems. A year and a half after his reelection, the president's job-approval ratings are mired around 43%. The "Obamania" of 2008 is little more than a wistful memory. His attempt to rebrand American foreign policy has produced uneven results.
One reason Francis has remained so widely popular is that he hasn't aimed to make sweeping changes in church doctrine, even in areas where his rhetoric has differed sharply from that of his predecessors. His caution has disappointed Catholic liberals, but most of them are still giving him the benefit of the doubt. He's called for more openness toward gay people, for example, but he hasn't proposed any formal changes in the rules. Instead, the pope has focused his energy on quietly reforming the Vatican's mismanaged finances and autocratic governance — institutional changes that, if he succeeds, could transform the church.
Obama, by contrast, tackled comprehensive healthcare during his first term, something destined to be thorny and controversial.
Where Francis has opened the door to reforms, he has picked ones likely to be broadly popular. He has, for example, begun laying groundwork to allow Catholics who divorce and remarry to receive Communion, a change that would have been earthshaking a generation ago but now "is just low-hanging fruit," Allen said.
Obama, too, initiated some broadly popular reforms — doing away with insurance denials because of preexisting medical conditions, say, and letting offspring stay on their parents' health insurance longer — but many people lost sight of these measures amid the bigger, more disruptive Affordable Care Act.
Of course, Francis has a couple of huge advantages: He may have to deal with an entrenched Vatican bureaucracy, but he doesn't have to worry about midterm elections or a balky Congress. A pontiff hasn't been deposed since Eugene IV in 1439, and even he made a comeback a few years later. And in the sixth year of Obama's tenure, it may be a bit unfair to compare him to a pope who, with barely a year in office, is still on his honeymoon.
But the president may nevertheless have some useful advice for the pontiff as well. Francis has worried that his image as a superstar has become a problem, distracting people from his Christian message. Obama, too, found that his early status as a global hero was distracting; when he won the Nobel Peace Prize early in his term, he knew the award was premature and unhelpful. His advice for the Holy Father might be: If Oslo phones, don't take the call.
And despite the downsides, there was a reason Obama moved so quickly to pass healthcare reform: Even popes and presidents can't know how long their popularity will last.
There was once a ritual at every papal coronation that we might want to adopt in Washington too. As a new pope began his first procession out of St. Peter's, a priest knelt before him with a knot of smoldering flax and a warning that worldly fame is fleeting: sic transit gloria mundi.

I've read some older threads on here about keeping your cocoa butter warm in a dehydrator. We picked up a NutriChef PKFD32 which was the closest we could find to a recommended one (2016/2018) and none of our bottles fit. Which had us ask--are people putting their bottles preset in here or are you using cups/transferring and cleaning your bottles over and over? Also if the PKFD32 isn't what we should be using, is there one generally people like now?
We've grown up from cheap airbrushes to the Grex line and we're attempting to get much more serious about our airbrush techniques. It's been long enough. Any thoughts, tips, tricks, or considerations are greatly appreciated.

Would be great to hear your thoughts and experiences on the matter
Thank you!

Hey guys!
Ive been having some difficulty with Valhrona Milk 38%. It doesn't seem to temper like any other milk chocolate.
I melt the chocolate to 45C and then using the seeding technique i drop the temp down to 30C.
When at 30C it seems tempered but after a few minutes i start to see bad tempering results.
Is there something in particular about this chocolate that i should know about?

Returning Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has vowed to return to Stamford Bridge with a bang, as a thank you to new manager Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese coach held talks with Lukaku last week to discuss Lukaku's future at Stamford Bridge.
Prior to Mourinho's arrival, Lukaku endured a torrid time playing under Andre Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo. The Belgian spent the majority of the 2011/12 season playing in the Chelsea reserves. Lukaku then famously claimed that it didn't feel like he'd won the Champions League due to his lack of involvement.
Lukaku then went out on loan to Steve Clark's West Brom. Lukaku enjoyed a prolific season at the Hawthorns, scoring 17 goals in 39 appearances.
But it seems that Lukaku will be raring to go when the season resumes in August after his productive talk with Mourinho.
And Lukaku told reporters this week that he is ready to start again at Stamford Bridge following his disappointing start.
"I always said my ambition was to play for Chelsea," Lukaku was quoted as saying by Sky Sports. "Now I will go back to Stamford Bridge and try and play even more games than I did at West Brom.
"If I can score a few early on, it could turn into a good season for me. I had a good conversation with Jose Mourinho and I know it's up to me to show I'm worth a place."
And Lukaku also pointed to the World Cup as an added incentive to perform well in a Chelsea shirt.
"It is the World Cup next year, and I need to be playing," he added. "But if I don't get in the Chelsea team often enough then I won't deserve to be in the national squad."

As a new genealogist, I felt like a bee jumping from one flower to the next, searching for nectar. However, my mentor introduced me to a simple five-step process to discover my ancestors.
Step 1: Write down what you know.
What do you know about the person or family group? This step can take from a few hours to several weeks, depending on how thorough you are. I find that the more complete my understanding of the person or family I am going to research, the easier and more productive my research will become.
Information can come from firsthand experience or documents you have. Look for copies of birth, marriage and death certificates; journals; scrapbooks; old letters; family bibles; photographs; school records; military records; obituaries; deeds and wills. Check your genealogy software program, read through your genealogy notes, and review files you have kept on the family to see what you know and what you want to learn about your ancestors. Make a record of each piece of information you learn about your ancestor. I found it valuable to learn all I could about my ancestor and the events, circumstances, relationships and background that pertained to their lives.
If this is your first time doing genealogy, create a pedigree chart – a list of direct ancestors – starting with yourself and working backward in time. Go back as far as you can from memory. Pedigree charts graphically outline relationships across generations. Each person is identified by full name, birthdate and place, marriage date and place, and death date and place. Start by completing a pedigree chart with yourself on the far left and then information about your parents and grandparents on the right, writing as much information as you already know. Answer questions from the following list that apply to your specific family members (if needed, estimate dates and places as a starting point):
What do you know about yourself?
- State your full birth name.
- When were you born? Include exact date and place.
- When were you married? Include exact date and place.
Who are your parents?
- State the full birth name of each parent.
- When was each parent born? Include exact date and place.
- When were your parents married? Include exact date and place.
- When did your parents die? Include exact date and place.
Who are your grandparents? Start with your mother's parents, followed by your father's parents.
- State the full birth name of each grandparent.
- When was each grandparent born? Include exact date and place.
- When were your grandparents married? Include exact date and place.
- When did each grandparent die? Include exact date and place.
- If needed, estimate dates and places as a starting point.
This exercise will expose missing information. Don't worry if you're unable to fill in all the information. You will gather this information during the research process. Evidence of a person's life events is usually found in historical documents stored in a repository near the place where a person lived. You will want to record what you know on printed or electronic forms, such as pedigree charts and family group sheets.
Family group records show information about a single family. Each family group record includes information about the father, the mother and their children, identifying each person by name.
If the birth dates are known, children are listed in order of birth. If you have the names of children's spouses, you can list that. There is often space on the family group sheet to record birth, marriage, and death information and other notes about the family, as needed. This can include censuses, joining or leaving churches, christenings, confirmations, burials, acquisition or sale of land, migrations, citizenship changes, jury duty, lawsuits, probated wills, paid taxes, obituaries, mentions in newspaper articles, new jobs, draft registration, military service, working on the county road crew, jail, serving as a witness, bondsman or godparent and more.
I keep notes about family history on a separate sheet of paper. These notes could be biographical information such as military service; education; social or economic status; migrations; participation in community, social, religious or historical events or physical descriptions.
Step 2: Decide what you want to learn.
Start by selecting an ancestor you would like to know more about. If you are just starting, I suggest choosing an ancestor about which you already have some information, preferably someone before 1920. In my experience, it is easier to get information from family and sources such as vital records, census records and land records.
Step 3: Choose a record or source of information.
Once you know what information you're looking for, ask yourself where you might find it. Then choose one source or record on which to focus your research. For example, if I wanted to find the birthdate of an ancestor, I would ask these questions: "What type of records would have a birthdate? Where are these records kept? How do I get access to the records?" And so forth. I record all questions, thoughts and findings in my research log.
The types of records you will search include the following:
- Compiled Records. These are records of earlier research on people and families already done by others, such as family histories, biographies or genealogies with pedigree charts and family group records. It is best to search compiled records first.
- Original Records. These are records created during important events in your ancestors' lives. For example, a local church or government may have recorded your ancestors' births, christenings, marriages and burials. Other original documents include court, land, naturalization, taxation, business, medical and school records. Be sure to check all jurisdictions – such as, town, county, state and country – that may have kept records about your ancestor.
- Background Information. These are records dealing with geographical, historical or cultural information. They include local histories, maps, gazetteers, language dictionaries and guidebooks. Search these records to learn more about the area where your ancestors lived and the events that may have affected their lives and the records about them.
- Finding Aids. These help you find records, name indexes, library catalogs or websites.
Step 4: Obtain and search the record.
Investigate the record or source for the information you want. Once I have made a choice about the source I will search, I try to learn about the source and how to use the information I might find. For example, if I were planning on searching the 1880 United States Federal Census, I would read a study guide to learn about how to research and use the information in the record. If my source were a person, I would contact the person, make a list of questions and conduct and record my interview. I would record or make a copy of the information I found to help with citing and analyze.
When researching a record or source, these are some of the common issues you will face:
- Name changes: It was common for immigrants to change or shorten their names after arriving in a new country. You may need to check for various possibilities.
- Spelling variations: Many ancestor names have variant spellings. Many recorders spelled names according to sound. A person may also be listed under a nickname or abbreviation.
- Handwriting: Most original documents you will search are handwritten. If you cannot read a letter, look at other names in the record to see how the writer made certain letters. Some handbooks illustrate the way letters were written in earlier times.
- Dates: You may want to check a range of dates for an event, which could be recorded on a different date than expected.
Step 5: Use and record what you learned.
Evaluate the results of your inquiry and share information with others. This is an important part of the process. Sometimes what I find is only a clue; other times, it's a goldmine. I record what I learn in my research log. At this point, based on the information I've gathered, I decide where I want to go and start with step one again.
As you check information, consider the following questions:
- Did I find the information I was looking for?
- Is the information complete?
- Does the information conflict with other information I have?
- Is the source of the information credible?
Transfer any new information to your pedigree charts and group records. It's important to include sources, which are valuable in helping you resolve problems with conflicting information. For example, you may have a birth record that provides a birthdate and an obituary with another birthdate. You will want to decide which date is the most reliable by reviewing your sources; the most reliable source is usually the source made closest to the time of the event.

« Discounting Greenhouse Gas Effects in the Distant Future-BECKER | Main | Global Warming--Posner's Response to Comments »
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
I suspect that scientists themselves are actually more worried by the risk of a catastrophe, but think there is more hope of persuading politicians on the basis of the things that they can predict will happen with high probability. Given the difficulty of convincing people of the existence of global warming itself, who can blame them?
The cultivation and burning of fossil fuels for energy; and the attendant effects, are argued to be the primary cause of the phenemenon called global warming.
There is significant science supporting this analysis.
However, there are also many scientists who feel they would be abandoning their scientific training, which includes the cultivation of doubt and fealty to the methods (calculus-based physics, peer review) of their profession if they simply committed themselves to such a position. It is still a significant risk.
There is much science supporting global warming, but there are also many, many people who have a financial, political, and ideaological interest in this debate.
I suspect this is what has many scientists frightened.
First, we should notify Greg Mankiw that Judge Posner has joined the Pigou Society.
Do I detect some confusion in Judge Posner's contribution between maximizing present value using an appropriate discount rate when probabilities are rather well known and their sigma is small, and what decision rule to use when there is a great deal of uncertainty about catastrophic losses, and we do not know what the probabilities are or they have a very large sigma?
If we are worried about a catastrophic outcome with an unknown probability, should we use the expected value decision rule at all? Wouldn't it be better to be pessimistic and use the decision rule that minimizes the maximum loss--"minimax", or use the decision rule that minimizes regret?
I would be willing to trade off a good deal of future economic growth against the expenditure now of large sums to minimize the possibilities of the maximum catastrophes in the future, and to avoid at all costs that future(last?) generations will be full of regret that we did not act now with a maximum response when catastrophe could have been avoided.
I think the advanced countries now have a level of consumption that does not need to be increased, and that even with some redistribution, consumption levels in the world that do not yet meet standards can be increased without lowering the standard of living in advanced countries below a historically high level. To put it bluntly, I am nauseated at the level of conspicuous consumption I see all about me here in the U.S.
I am no scientist, but I would welcome a discussion by the mathematicians and management science experts about what decision rules are available for the highly uncertain situation we face with global warming, and what the advantages, disadvantages and current research expenditure and investment implications are of the various rules. I doubt that maximizing expected value, as Professor Becker and to some extent Judge Posner seem to be doing, is the decision rule we should be using.
If we're worried about protecting against the small risk of abrupt, catastrophic global warming that could happen at any time, there are a near infinite number of low probability, high cost events against which we might also need protect ourselves. How much are we spending to develop systems to protect us against rogue comets or meteorites? Perhaps slightly lower probability than an abrupt catastrophic climate change, but certainly potentially more catastrophic. That one, I'm actually slightly worried about. But, we can move further down the list of lower probability but higher cost events. How much should we be spending against the possibility of a Great Collapsing Hrung disaster? We can always envision costs so high that even very low probability events should be guarded against.
Do you really think that moral suasion would induce China to follow America's example in setting very high carbon tax rates? Consider an alternative option: set a very large, tax-funded, prize for any scientist developing workable alternative energy or carbon sequestration systems, then provide the technology for free to developing countries.
Global warming would produce quite a few good things too, perhaps enough to more than offset the bad. Agriculture would be more productive and growing seasons much longer; vast areas of the earth that are now wastelands would be useful and habitable, such as northern Canada and Siberia; winter heating costs would drop; and most economic activities would be completely unaffected, because they don't depend on the climate. These need to be taken into account as well. Furthermore, the evidence for man-made global warming isn't as tight as Judge Posner would have it: the climate has always been changing, and many periods within human history have been warmer than now; humans were adding very little CO2 to the atmosphere then.
And finally, my suspicions of the motives behind those who support massive government intervention to "do something" about global warming are encapsulated in the remark of a previous commenter: "To put it bluntly, I am nauseated at the level of conspicuous consumption I see all about me here in the U.S." Socialists everywhere, like the commenter, will love the new global warming regime.
Surely a fourth argument for using a lower discount rate (or a different approach altogether) is the potentially irreversible nature of the change; if I understand the scientists' warnings, in 2017 it may not be possible to achieve at any cost the climate stabilization that is still within reach -- though expensive -- today.
Another factor is the point at which the runaway greenhouse effect is triggered. That is, at a certain point, the amount of warming is enough to substantially increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere--a far more effective greenhouse gas. This is to say that at some point, we won't be able to do anything and the atmosphere will "runaway" and we will look like the planet venus (crushing atmosphere, 900F at the surface, etc.).
Unfortunately, we don't know at what point the point of no return is for the runaway greenhouse effect. Obviously, this changes these cost calculations considerably. What should we spend now to avoid a point of no return that we can't yet scientifically predict when or under what conditions it is triggered? Obviously, if we're past that point, we might better spend our resources calculating and then preparing for when we need to be off this rock.
Doesn't the "short horizon" of the political world, i.e., politicians thinking in terms of the next election as to opposed to the next hundred years, militate against long range responses to this purported problem?
It's -1 deg.F outside and the windchill is running at -15 below. Who says the world is warming up? :( It is well known that the planets temperatures have run higher in the past and colder as well. Perhaps what is going on is a natural warming cycle taking place, and being slightly accelerated by greenhouse gas emissions from human production.
The figuring out of discount rates is one method calculating future costs, but the efforts should be spent on optimizing the productive process. Such that, in any process; raw materials, utilities, energy, and labor are utilized in the process and on the other side out comes, wastes and product. Product has positive value, wastes negative value. Any business that wishes to maximize its profit, trys to minimize its waste streams by minimizing them or recycling them back into the process as raw materials, utilities, or energy. No waste, no negative values and increased profit. Green house gas emissions are just one such waste stream that affects the process's bottom line.
Perhaps business will wise up and understand that Process R&D does have a place in its Business Plan. Until then, as the public, all we can do is hope for the best for ourselves and our future generations. Not too mention, solving global warming.
Static solutions like Carbon Credits won't do anything but line the pockets of corrupt UN eurocrats [recall the Oil for Food scandal].
If the science is accurate [which I don't beleive] the solution is nuclear energy and green-tech investement that encourages India & China to sign on
I'm not so sure about fossel fuels being the primary culprit here. There are 1.3 billion cows on this planet, and every year each cow produces about 90kg of methane. Methane is about 24 times worse than CO2 in sealing the heat in the air. According to a recent report by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation, agriculture produces 18 per cent of the world's greenhouse gases, as measured in CO2 equivalent - more than is produced by the entire human transport industry.
Then there is power production, responsible for about 24 per cent of global emissions. Perhaps the state should be contriving measures to ensure houses are properly insulated, or developing more nuclear energy, which seems to be less damaging in terms of emissions than various alternatives (though there remains the question of disposing of nuclear waste).
Alternatively, the developed world could do something to stop Third World countries from burning the forests, which produces 18 per cent of CO2.
I can't help feeling that we're missing the point by ascribing the whole phenomena to CO2 emissions, which are but a minor part of the equation.
"It is now thought likely that by the end of the century global temperatures will have risen by an average of 7 degrees Fahrenheit and that the sea level will have risen by almost 2 feet."
This is so badly mis-stated as to be outright misleading. The _worst case_ scenarios proposed by the IPCC are 7 degrees F with a 17in rise in sea levels.. this is down from the 2001 IPCC worst case estimate of 10.5 degrees F and 36in rise in sea levels.
THOSE ARE WORST CASE ESTIMATES. It is simply false to portray the worst case estimates as that which is 'likely'. One would assume the median of the estimate would be the most likely.
You may want to check your dates; a number of them read 200x when 210x seems intended.
Whenever I look at a politicized debate, I try to measure the credibility of both sides. My main measure is the accuracy of predictions. By that measure, the people who claimed there was no global warming seem less credible than those who claim there is global warming. But the people who claim that the proximate cause of global warming is human activity are not, at this point, as credible to me. I'd just like to see some predictions borne out that separate human causes from 'end of little-ice-age' causes.
1/3rd of US emmissions are caused by petroleum fueled power plants. We could convert those entirely to nuclear in 10-15 years easily and cut our emmissions by an order of magnitude more than Kyoto calls for. I judge anyone's seriousness on global warming by how staunching they are demanding nuclear power. If global warming is indeed the global crisis to the human race that the activists claim, the comparatively minor risks of nuclear power are laughable.
As much as I respect your views and opinions within your own field, you are dead wrong on the level of general acceptence of anthropogenic global warming within the scientific community. The 'consensus' is a fraud based on Naomi Oreskes very flawed 2004 'Science' article (Google [Oreskes Peiser] for the details. The basic science is wrong: the data points for temperature are derived from the changing widths of bristlecone pine tree rings, which are not so much temperature dependent as moisture dependent. Mann et al.'s 'hockey stick' totally misrepresents the world climate from 1000 AD onward (Caesar's era was warm enough to grow wine grapes in Britain; around 200 AD the climate cooled below present temperatures and the Huns had to flee their homeland, heading west, and took out the weakened Roman empire; around 650 AD the world warmed up again by 2 or more4 degrees centigrade, the Normans were growing wine grapes in the York area after 1066; six weeks after Easter in 1315 the world cold down about 4 degrees and the Little Ice Age began. We started coming out of the little ice age in the 19th century. If a 'science' cannot postdict a well known history, it is garbage.
'Global Warming' is more a religion than a science. If we have anything to worry about, I suspect it is global cooling caused by a decline in sun spot activity, something that is worrying the solar physicists. The Russian scientfic community, which went through Stalin's purges and has less tolerance for bandwaggonism and faddism, fears we will be dropping back into the little ice age by the end of this decade. I recommend the blogs climateaudit.org and motls.blogspot.com and worldclimatereport.com for detailed information.
Judge Posner: I respectfully suggest; there are none so blind as those who won't see. And in that vein ask; Who have you read/studied and when, that are not believers as you are in AGW and its apocalypse?
Seriously (as above), if you would like the names and citations to some highly respected, highly qualified scientists who do not hold your views (entirely) I'd be delighted to send them.
I enjoy your site/posts, especially because they are so lucid - a potential brought to your legal training no doubt.
So Posner is convinced? Many are not--including some rather significant names in climatology. The recent IPCC summary was (once again) a tendentious, highly politicized document that does not accurately reflect the science it purports to synopsize. It's also worth recalling that prior to Copernicus the overwhelming consensus was that the sun revolved around the earth.
"The global-warming skeptics are beginning to sound like the people who for so many years,"...
who doubts global-warming? or cooling for that matter.
it is anthropogenic warming and co2's role in it that people want to question. when i see people say 'global-warming skeptics' i know they are people who seek to squlech the discussion.
they are like temple priests screaming 'heretic'.
When you tell me how many cars, power plants and cows there are on Mars (where the polar ice caps are melting), I will believe that we can stop global warming. Until then, the current craze seems to be merely a cover for various and sundry people to remove still more of our freedom. I have come to expect much more thorough analysis than this from Judge Posner.
If we are going to do something, I want to be assured I am not merely being forced to don a hairshirt for the enjoyment of the scolding classes.
I remain unconvinced that there is anything more than the normal climate cycle at work here. Efforts to supress debate make me even more convinced that this is far from settled.
What we have is bad data, cherry picked, to support a theory. Evidence proving the earth was warmer in the past, pre Industrial age, is ignored. Evidence that non-anthropogenic causes are responsible for part/most of the current warming are dismissed. Skeptics are branded as heretics. Aspersions are cast on the honesty of non-believers, but those who claim there is a problem that will require trillions of dollars to fix (if it is not already too late) are pure as the driven snow.
"The benefits of such an approach are concrete and realizable, while at this stage, the benefits of deindustrialization are speculative and likely unattainable."
It's even worse than that. Many commentators who worry loudly about the potentially catastrophic consequences of climate change seem completely oblivious to the fairly obvious and almost inevitable catastrophes that would result from a global economic slowdown, such as revolution, civil war and genocidal levels of violences across the developing world. And anyone who thinks the world's "advanced" societies can avoid severe political and social turmoil in the face of arbitrarily frozen or even declining standards of living are kidding themselves.
And barring the development of cost-competitive alternative energy technology, serious efforts to curtail CO2 emission WILL trigger a major global recession, while simultaneously raising the price of every single manufactured good and agricultural product...i.e....the very things on which poor people spend the bulk of their incomes. Good luck with that approach, but I think its going to prove extremely difficult to explain to an Indonesian or Mexican mother that she has to forgo purchasing food, school textbooks or clean drinking water so that we can keep global see levels from rising 2cm/annum instead of 1.4cm/annum.
But then, it's human nature to be more frightened by exotic things that can hurt us a lot, such as shark attacks or catastrophic climate change, than about the familiar things most likely to do us harm, such as automobile accidents and political instability.
"Whenever I look at a politicized debate, I try to measure the credibility of both sides"
Agreed. Thats why I distrust the Global Warming crowd:
1) Hyperbole and exageration.
2) Omitting key data [little Ice Age] and using disaprate data sets [as in the hockey stick]
3) Argument by assertion [ie "the debate is closed"]
4) Appeals to Conformity ["all SMART people believe x"].
Seriously, if their cause is just, then why must they deceive?
If chicken Little is indeed correct and the sky is falling, then there is only one long term solution: We gotta kill off about 90% of the human beings on this planet and enforce some sort of cheat-proof population control. Every other "solution" is short-term and merely postpones the inevitable catastrophe.
As for myself, I think we should be looking around for the Fox.

There's usually no escaping a difficult conversation. But at least nowadays we can choose in which medium to have the chat. There's certainly a premium placed on in-person conversations—really, you just want to be there with the person, see his (or her) facial expressions, reactions, etc. It's also nice to have the guarantee of an instant reply.
But getting it all out in real-time can be difficult and uncomfortable, and for a certain type of person (myself included, usually) having the time and emotional space to arrange all of one's thoughts out in an email is a great, great luxury.
Then there's always text messages, which can carry a conversation everywhere, all across the city, all day long—perfect for those of us with a compulsive need to keep the discussion going... and little impulse control not to.
Ugh. Can you tell this post was inspired by life? And, more importantly, what would you do?

Continental SportContact 5 SUV Tyres Available in Halifax
SportContact 5 SUV
Reduced Braking Distance and Improved Cornering Stability
Composed of the same Black Chilli tread compound as the standard Continental SportContact5 tyres, the Continental SportContact5 SUV XL tyres display identical performance characteristics.
You can look forward to reduced braking distances on wet and dry surface and improved grip and cornering stability. Reduced stopping distance is of course an essential safety parameter. And increased cornering stability confers greater confidence in the driver while negotiating tricky turns, particularly at high speeds. And this takes on added significance for SUVs, which are by nature heavier and especially if they are carrying heavy loads.
Increased Wet Safety
The asymmetric tread pattern of the Continental SportContact5 SUV XL tyres comprises 4 wide circumferential grooves, which efficiently deflect water from the contact patch, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and increasing safety on wet surface.
High Mileage Performance
Because of their innovative tread compound, the Continental SportContact5 SUV XL tyres exhibit significantly lower rolling resistance. Therefore fuel utilisation is more efficient, resulting in higher mileage performance.
Increased Ride Comfort
SUVs are not particularly known for their ride comfort. With the Continental SportContact5 SUV XL tyres, however, you can expect an exceptionally smooth ride that enhances the overall ride experience.
Sorry, we currently do not have any tyres with the SportContact 5 SUV pattern in stock.
Contact us to see if we can order these in for you.

Rihanna 'Unapologetic' Deluxe Edition to Cost Big Bucks
Whoa. If you really, really love Rihanna, or if you really, really love the Rihanna fan in your life, you're going to want to nab a copy of deluxe edition of the pop diva's upcoming album 'Unapologetic.' But it's going to cost you big bucks. More like huge.
The Diamonds Executive Platinum Box will retail for a whopping $250, which is several times the normal price of a standard CD.
So what exactly would you be shelling out $250 for? According to AOL Music, here's a rundown of the limited edition items that the Diamonds Executive Platinum Box will include. It will boast a copy of 'Unapologetic'; a unisex T-shirt, perfect for boys and girls; seven art print 12x15 lithographs; a 2GB credit card-style USB; seven laptop stickers; and a View-Master containing 3D images that show RiRi's style evolution.
But wait, that's not all.
There will be a 40-page, custom notebook with handwritten notes from the 'Diamonds' singer herself. There will also be a personal note from RiRi to the Navy and an exclusive fan mosaic poster.
All these snazzy, special items will be housed in a collar box, with a trap door design. So while it does come with a steep price tag, it's a highly collectible piece that could increase in value over the years.
The regular version of 'Unapologetic' is out Nov. 12. The Diamonds Executive Platinum Edition – that sounds so official, doesn't it?- is out Dec. 11.
If there is a diehard member of the RiRi Navy in your life, now you know what to get them and you can happily cross them off your holiday shopping list.
Tell us, PopCrushers. Is $250 way too much to ask for a deluxe edition, even with all those extra treats?
