Likud Appealing to Peace Now for Help Friday, March 11, 2005
The Likud government has asked leftist groups to help in a massive campaign aimed at overcoming strong American Jewish and non-Jewish opposition to the disengagement plan.
Danny Ayalon, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, will participate Monday in a Peace Now-sponsored forum on Capitol Hill. In addition, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (pictured above) is scheduled to deliver the keynote speech at the June annual dinner of the Israel Policy Forum, a group that was formed to support the Labor Party's Oslo II policies.
These two events are part of an intensive campaign aimed at counteracting opposition to the disengagement plan by evangelical Christians and a large number of Jews.
Israeli diplomats in the U.S. are under orders to meet with as many Jewish organizations and synagogues as possible and urge them not to "second-guess the government of Israel or the Israeli citizens," says Aryeh Mekel, Israel's consul-general in New York. "This is the number one priority on the agenda of the consulates," he added.
Consulate sources say that the government has recently begun to understand the impact of American Jewish opposition to Sharon's plan to dismantle 25 Jewish communities in the Gaza region and northern Samaria. Pro-disengagement Jewish leaders also are worried about this camp's strength. "It is necessary to mobilize" supporters of the government plan, said Abe Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League and a prominent supporter of the plan. "It is very important that Israeli officials will be involved in doing that."
Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America and an outspoken critic of Sharon's program, said that American Jews have a right and obligation to oppose Israeli policies they think are damaging. Klein added that the ZOA is launching a newspaper advertising campaign exposing anti-Israeli comments by Palestinian Authority chairman Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas).

Top Journalist Confesses: Media Pushed Disengagement
Friday, March 11, 2005
Respected Israeli journalist Nahum Barnea admits that most of the Israeli media has acted more like the "guard dog" of the disengagement plan than that of democracy.
Writing in the most recent edition of the monthly media publication "The Seventh Eye," Barnea stated that Israeli journalists made a mistake that must now be acknowledged.
"There is no argument that the tone in the Israeli media is pro-disengagement," Barnea wrote. "Were the media just supportive, or also enlisted [in its favor]?"
He added that had the Prime Minister presented a program to strengthen Jewish communities instead of dismantling them, the media would have treated him "with cruelty."
Barnea noted that only certain newspapers have published articles against the Prime Minister. He noted that the "right-wing" media, mainly the B'Sheva and Makor Rishon weeklies and the daily HaTzofeh, correctly have emphasized that Sharon promised he would accept the results of last year's Likud party referendum on whether to accept the disengagement plan.
"Two-thirds of the party members voted against it in a party referendum, but Sharon ignored the results," Barnea wrote. "Even Ben-Gurion, whom Sharon admires, would not have dared to act that way towards his party. When he [Ben-Gurion] lost in a party vote, he obeyed it while gritting his teeth."
Israel's media treated Sharon with "kid gloves" although he acted pretentiously, Barnea confessed. "We were the guard dog of disengagement more than we were the guard dog of democracy. Our duty is to report, expose, criticize, educate and influence." The media's conscription in the disengagement program was "a mistake" and the media should admit it now and not later, Barnea concluded.
Complaint Filed Against PM Sharon and Author of Outposts Report Friday, March 11, 2005
By Anadolu News Agency (aa)
Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz is reportedly against the building of new Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip.
According to reports of the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharanot, the latest decision was reached after consultations with the justice and interior ministers and will be put into affect next week and noted that Mofaz is against the new settlements in Gaza.
A military official said the commandership in charge of Gaza has banned the settlements of the Jews in Gush Katif by releasing a decree.
Military officials had previously decided to declare the withdrawal regions as "closed military zone". To enter the zone, only residents having special identity cards will be allowed access.
For now, nearly 8,000 Jewish settlers live in 21,000 units. All of these settlements will be evacuated as of July.

Jericho handover to occur Wednesday
The Palestinian Authority will receive security control of Jericho Wednesday, with Tulkarm due to be handed over early next week security officials told The Jerusalem Post during a meeting between Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and Palestinian Authority Interior Minister Nasser Yusef at the Daniel Hotel in Herzliya on Monday night.
According to officials, Mofaz and Yusef are also discussing the transfer of Kalkilya to Palestinian control making it the third city on the list to be handed over.
The meeting was scheduled in an attempt to iron out the differences that arose in meetings last week between Israeli and Palestinian security officials that led to a breakdown in talks and prevented the handover from being implemented. As Israeli security officials met with their Palestinian counterparts last week to finalize arrangements for the handover of Jericho, the Palestinians issued new demands including a request that Israel remove all West Bank checkpoints and that they receive security control of Highway 90, the main access route to Jordan Valley communities and those traveling north. In addition, the Palestinians also demanded full control of Oudja, a farming village north of Jericho that straddles Highway 90.
It was agreed at the meeting that Israel would retain security control of Highway 90. The checkpoint located at the district coordinating office outside of Jericho will also remain.
In addition, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who are incarcerated in Jericho will remain behind bars, including the murderers of Rehavam Ze'evi, the former tourism minister.
The Palestinians also agreed to disarm fugitives hiding out in the city and Israel will allow the Palestinians to train police in the city so that they can be deployed in other areas once the PA receives security control over other cities.
Mofaz and Yusef plan to meet again in four weeks to discuss further steps.
The transfer of cities to Palestinian security control has been on the agenda ever since the first meeting between Mofaz and Palestinian security chief Muhammed Dahlan on January 29, the first held between the two since August 2003. Since then, there have been a number of meetings between Israeli and Palestinian officials in an attempt to move forward with the transfer of cities to Palestinian security control.

MIM: Homeland security begins at home : The oxymoronic misnomer of 'Israeli - Arab' reveals the depth of denial to which the Israeli government and the media has sunk in not addressing the mortal danger of the fifth columnists living among them. Israel has to show that they are serious about the war on terror by expelling the ten Arabs from the Knesset and stripping Arabs of their citizenship. Continued dialouge and appeasement is construed as weakness and will only lead to more attacks both in Israel and on Israeli targets abroad.

Delegates abuzz over ‘suicide bomber'
BY SIM LEOI LEOI
PUTRAJAYA: The issue of suicide bombers attracted a lively debate at the international conference on Peace in Palestine here after a delegate asked why "this aspect of the Palestinian armed resistance" was neglected.
Razak Kasim from the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission criticised yesterday's panel of speakers for not discussing it.
"Why has nobody condemned the use of tanks and machine-guns by Israeli soldiers against the Palestinian people as immoral when we often use this word in connection with the suicide bombers?" he asked at the conference held in Putrajaya International Convention Centre here.
"But it's not a pleasant feeling to have, whenever one travels in Tel Aviv, and we don't know when the suicide bombers will strike next."
Razak then said that Keller had used only a "few seconds" to reply on the immorality of the weapons but "a full 10 minutes on the effects of these attacks on Israelis".
Keller is the spokesman of the Israeli Peace Bloc Gush Shalom and one of the five Israelis invited to speak on the topic Is A Just Peace Possible? at the three-day conference organised by Peace Malaysia.
Earlier, veteran Arab-American journalist Ramzy Baroud said many Palestinians felt that armed resistance, including suicide bombing, was the only option left for them.
"They feel that they have been abandoned by the international world," he said.
Delhi University's International Relations and Global Politics pro Achin Vanaik called on the Palestinians to pursue a non-violent strategy.
Prior to the debate, Keller apologised that his presence and that of other Israelis had caused "certain members of the Islamic party" to stay away from the event.
PAS had withdrawn from the event to protest the participation of the Israelis.
Meanwhile, Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss had a lot to say to Jews who think that Palestine rightfully belongs to them.
"Our holy book Torah says that the people of Israel are in exile from the land that has been given by God to them.
"And that period of exile is not over yet. Our holy books forbid us to take the land by force from the Palestinians.
"Any attempt to do so is a rebellion against God," he said.

I have never finished the first quilt I started. Though the New Year's resolution that got me jump started on finishing projects was to finish all works in progress, I still am not sure I'll ever finish it. I don't really feel all that bad, either. There are so many other projects pulling my interest.
When I moved into my current house, I commented on a quilt group flier I saw on my neighbor's refrigerator. "Oh, do you quilt?" she asked, her eyebrow raised in hopeful anticipation.
"No, no, but I've been wanting to learn; my sister-in-law received the most amazing quilt from her best friend at her baby shower, and ever since, I've been dying to learn." The next thing I knew, we were cruising the aisles at Joann's, buying all the basics I needed. Pins, thread, fabrics for a sampler. I borrowed my Mom's 50-year-old Viking sewing machine (which weighed a ton!) and rotary cutting supplies, and found myself at a neighborhood quilt group meeting. My neighbor, Julie, patiently taught me how to cut and the basics of piecing, and away I went. The group had a sampler book and the host ran copies on cardstock of the templates for anyone who wanted them. I made 8 or 9 blocks and loved deciding which fabrics I would use in each block.
A few months later, the host relocated across the country for her husband's job, and though we tried to keep the quilt group going, it fell apart, and I stopped working on the sampler.
Shortly after, I discovered I was pregnant and decided to make a quilt for my future baby. I picked out fabric (gender neutral since it was too early to find out), and decided to make an Ohio star pattern. I didn't know about quilt blogs, patterns, or anything, and did the math myself on graph paper I printed. Julie showed me how to add mitered edge sashing around the outside, and then showed me how to hand quilt it.
And then I miscarried.
Heartbroken, I put the quilt, still on the large embroidery hoop, in another room and closed the door. Once I became pregnant again, and was sure it was viable, I cautiously pulled out the quilt and began quilting again. I finished quilting, I learned how to bind it, and managed to finish it several months before my beautiful daughter arrived, healthy and safe.
I think every single one of the star tips got clipped off because I didn't take seam allowances into account, but it was my first quilt and I was so proud that I did it all myself, from piecing, to quilting, to binding. And, in many ways, I think it's significant that my first completed quilt was for my child. So often, the most meaningful quilts are the ones we make for others.
I have not hand quilted since then; I just don't really like it, and I prefer the look of machine quilting. But, I've done it once, and I'm proud that I can say that. The whole project was a real learning experience for me, and really propelled my confidence in quilting. Stay tuned for more flashback quilts!

Save money and the environment
CARS: According to the EU, driving accounts for around 12% of CO₂ emissions. Cutting down on car journeys can help slow climate change - but when you do need to drive you can do it in a more eco-friendly and green way. This is called hypermiling and is a way to squeeze the maximum mpg (miles per gallon) out of a tank of petrol. We've tried it, and it is possible to radically increase the mpg of your car, saving a small fortune in petrol and emissions in the process.
You'll see these helpful icons...
save on fuel costs and reduce emissions
A nifty tool to find the lowest cost fuel near you is petrolprices.com. The differences can be huge!
Driving at 70mph uses up to 10% more fuel than at 60mph, and up to 15% more than at 50mph. If you are a complete rev head and drive at 85mph your car will consume 40% more fuel than if you travel at 55mph.
You can reduce fuel consumption by 20% if you accelerate / decelerate gently.
Anticipate traffic and red lights and brake gently. This will reduce wear on brake pads and prolong their life, saving you money.
Change gear as soon as possible without labouring the engine – try changing up at an engine speed of around 2000 rpm in a diesel car, or around 2500 rpm in a petrol car.
If you think you're going to be stopped in traffic for more than about 10-15 seconds, reduce fuel consumption by switching off your engine. It also helps reduce air pollution.
Save 1% of fuel by making sure your tyres are at the correct pressure. Under inflated tyres create more rolling resistance and so use more fuel.
A vehicle travelling at 37mph in third gear uses 25% more fuel than it would at the same speed in fifth gear!
Take that rubbish out of the boot! Losing 45 kg could improve economy by around 2%.
When going down hills and approaching red lights, put the gears in neutral and let the engine revs drop.
This reduces wind resistance and can save 2% on fuel.
This reduces wind resistance, makes your car is as aerodynamic as possible, and therefore saves on fuel costs.
You could save 50% on fuel costs compared to driving a big gas guzzling 4x4!
It can improve mpg by up to 4%, and on top of that using the correct oil is good for an extra 2%.
At low speeds it can reduce fuel economy by more than 10% if on a high setting.
It may be boring, but it matters in two ways. Firstly, check over multiple tanks of fuel or for consistent trips (like commuting to work). Measuring fuel economy helps you to see if making changes to your driving has an effect on your mpg. Secondly, if you have instantaneous estimate of fuel economy on your dash-board you can use it to help you optimize your driving style for mpg. This is particularly useful for improving the way you accelerate and finding the speed at which your car is most economical.
But remember that the energy to build and power it must still come from somewhere!
parking, MOT’s and insurance
Rent someone’s drive, savings can be up to 50% on normal parking fees, check out Your Parking Space.
Find hidden 'fewer fails' centres. Council MOT centres are mainly to look after buses and ambulances, but they're also open to the public. As they don't do repairs, there's no vested interest to fail you, just to keep you safe. Find your nearest council MOT centre here.
Don’t just leave it to your current insurer, they will probably charge you way over the odds. Check the comparison sites such as www.confused.com www.gocompare.com or www.moneysupermarket.com. Don't forget to check companies not on comparison sites, such as Aviva or Direct Line, they can also offer great deals.
You could consider eco-friendly car insurance. The Co-Op car insurance offsets 20% of your car's CO₂ emissions and have an ethical engagement policy - you can even save 10% when you apply on line.
If you do, you'll pay way over the odds. When the big two renew, they can cost £££s. Yet breakdown firms are among the easiest to haggle with - in a recent poll, 88% of AA and 86% of RAC members who tried to haggle were successful and paid less. Give it a go!
Adding mum, dad or auntie Dot to your car insurance can CUT not ADD to costs. You'd think having more drivers on a policy means a higher price. Yet adding a responsible driver can lower your risk average and reduce your car insurance costs by ££’s
Don't believe their 'fines', they're just invoices. Yet many will try to make you think they're council tickets. If you do get a private ticket and you think it's unfair, you can fight it. See the Martin Lewis fight unfair private parking tickets guide.
It's actually a hidden loan. Firms call it monthly insurance, but in fact they pay it upfront and you pay back a loan. The rates can be as high as 101% APR. Avoid if possible and pay annually.
OTHER MOTORING Savings and Environmental Facts
7% of car journeys in the UK are less than 1 mile. If you walked or cycled you would keep fitter and save £60 per year in fuel costs, equivalent to 10kg CO₂.
Peter Kay had it right in the recent comedy ‘Car Share’. More people travelling together reduces costs for everyone in the car and reduces individual CO₂ imprint. If you share a 20 mile round trip to work 5 times a week with a friend, it will save each person in the car around £6 a week.
Looking after your car can help improve fuel economy a little, but is also important for safety and the longevity of your vehicle.
A study in USA found the vast majority of CO₂ emissions - 86% - came from the car’s fuel use. Just 4% of emissions came from making and assembling the car.
This option is becoming increasingly viable for many office-based jobs, and if your workplace offers it, look into the potential of using it for at least some of your working week.
Watch out! Over 2million of us risk a £1,000 fine for out-of-date photos on our driving licence. You must renew every 10 years.
When we burn diesel and petrol in a vehicle, some greenhouse gases are emitted - carbon dioxide (CO₂) we know about, but there are other harmful greenhouse gases called nitrogen oxides (NOx). These are particularly harmful to us and thought to be responsible for up to 40,000 deaths in the UK every year.
An average driver travelling 12,000 miles in a medium sized car will emit 5.16 tonnes of CO₂ in one year. Ramp that up to the 31 million cars in UK = 160 million tonnes of CO₂ a year...
The production of an average car before it is driven away by the new proud owner creates around 15 tons of waste and 75 million cubic metres of polluted air.
EcoFrenzy has researched the market and to the best of our knowledge, figures and data are accurate at the time of publication. EcoFrenzy is not responsible for any inaccuracies and will not engage in correspondence, but will update facts and figures when necessary or appropriate.
The data we use to work out energy and water costs come from a range of reliable international sources to give an average figure. Figures are rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

Are All AC Air Filters the Same?
Did you know that the air filters inside of the air conditioner in your Aiken, South Carolina, home are vitally important in maintaining your home’s indoor air quality high? Because they are so important for keeping your family healthy and your home comfortable, you want to have the best filters available. Let’s learn about MERV ratings and look at a few common air filters that you can use in your home.
What Is a MERV Rating?
Air filters are marked for their ability to capture dirt, dust, and contaminants and use a numbered system called a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV). When you are looking for the best filter for your home, look for MERV ratings that have high numbers, generally between eight to 15, depending on what the manufacturer for your system recommends.
Spun Fiberglass Filters
By far the most common air filter on the market, fiberglass filters have a MERV rating between one and four. The numbers are quite low and they are best used when you are only looking to capture large dirt and dust particles. While this type of filter can help to protect your HVAC system from getting too dirty, they are not very effective in capturing tiny particulates that can trigger allergy or asthma symptoms.
Pleated Paper and Polyester Filters
The MERV rating is higher on this common air filter, between five and eight. They are much more effective in capturing those nasty small particulates that can cause respiratory issues than filters with lower ratings.
With a MERV rating of 10 to 15, this is a great filter to use in keeping your home clean. The filters use static electricity to charge airborne particles which are then drawn to the metal within the filter. The charged particles remain in the filter until it is replaced. Check with our technicians to be sure that electrostatic filters are compatible with your particular HVAC system.

“A Pit” circles the psychological problem around one only having symbols available to understand – experiencing a sort of alienation against the world, as a result. There is a reality that we cannot reach which is outside of our language, our symbols. We can’t get a pure reprieve from the constant stream of news that floods us daily. Could it be that the stream alters to “fit” us? Or do we involuntarily see all impressions through a prism that transforms to our symbols, languages and interpretations?
We began recording 16 Colors in 2014, after taking a year off from a hectic tour schedule that had kept us on the road since 2011. We had to retrieve our drive, and creativity demanded both time and space in order to flourish once more. This saw us parting ways with our record label and business partners, and granted us with a calmer, freer approach to the creative process. We worked alongside producer Mikkel Bolding over a two-year period, influencing our sound by introducing us to the world of analogue recording. You can stream the record in advance here.
Thank you so much for listening to “A Pit.” Below are a list of European spring tour dates, including several shows in our hometowns of Aarhus and Copenhagen. We’d love to see you there.

I wonder what this guy is thinking, walking through the complex.
This wheel scoops the washings from the sluice room and places it on the tailings conveyor.
Looking from the crane-motor catwalk into the Calumet. The arm shown here with the pulleys looped through it would have been lowered and the bucket conveyor in it would throw grain to waiting ships and boats bound for flour mills and foreign lands.
Looking through the washer that is the first stop for the dredgings.
Above the old machine shop is a packing building and a crate of cardboard label rolls.
The only way to get to the second floor–since demolition crews punched-out the staircases and ladders leading upwards–was to climb this elevator shaft. In the lower-left corner is a blower for the foundry furnaces.
I wish I knew what has become of this great one-of-a-kind sign that used to brag how many days the Clyde Iron factory has gone without a serious accident. Update: It’s hanging in one of the smaller venue spaces behind the bar.
I wonder how sheltered workers on this mid-level catwalk that follows the ore chutes is in storms. Note the chunks of concrete stuck in the catwalk grates–the pockets (right) are falling apart.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive and devastating human malignancies. Despite new knowledge in the molecular profile of pancreatic cancer and its precursor lesions, survival rates have changed very little over the last 40 years. Therefore, a better understanding of the detailed mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of this disease is critical if we expect to develop new and effective strategies for prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. The review herein focuses on a distinctive signaling pathway, the Notch pathway, which has recently been associated with carcinogenesis, including pancreatic cancer. It is aimed at summarizing key results which support a role for this pathway in the initiation, progression and maintenance of pancreatic cancer as a rationale for targeting and inhibiting this pathway in pancreatic cancer patients.

General Electric is threatening to leave the state over this ugly Democratic budget and the taxes it imposes on giant corporations. Democratic Sen. Martin Looney says it's all a cover for planned layoffs at GE, which their spokesman denies. The one thing giant corporations and politicians have in common is that you can never entirely trust them to tell the truth. Everything is spun like a sticky spider web. So, I'm looking at the budget and how it will affect we the peeps. Simply put, it means we'll have to pay more taxes to the state again. Two budgets in a row equals two big tax increases. Why? because we can't get our act together to elect more Republicans to the state legislature to balance the power of the Democrats. As long as the donkeys are running things, they'll be sticking their hands deeper and deeper into our pockets to pay for the deals made to keep all those thousands of state workers employed who voted them into office. Before every election, I'm optimistic things will change. The Connecticut GOP has a year-and-a-half to get their act together and promote electable candidates instead of the suspect characters and well-healed billionaires they've preferred in the past. I don't care what party the governor belongs to; we need a legislature with enough Republicans in it who are on the side of we the peeps. They could stop the sweetheart union bargains the Dems have made as their trademark.

Demands for money not flowers on Teachers' Day
A teacher in Hanoi has called on pupils and parents to give them money instead of flowers on the Teachers' Day on November 20 so that they can have more funds for charitable activities.
Dao Tuan Dat
Dao Tuan Dat, head of Einstein High School, has surprised many people after calling for money gifts instead of flowers.
"Please give us envelopes with money on this November 20," he announced.
According to Dat, the teachers want to use the money and what they and the pupils have been able to raise so far by doing extra shifts, selling food and singing at the Hoan Kiem Lake to buy blankets for the teachers and pupils at Phu Nhi Commune Primary School in Muong Lat District, Thanh Hoa Province.
They hope to bring encouragements to the children and co-workers in the mountainous areas.
"Just by living and working in a border area are teachers, pupils and border guards protecting our land. We’re grateful to them with our hearts," he wrote.
When being asked about the request, Dat said that on Teachers' Day, parents and pupils often bring flowers and gifts to the teachers. Dat said that the flowers were wasteful and the money could be used for something else.
"I'd rather calling for everyone to give money and the teachers and parents will make plans. We'll buy blankets for the teachers in mountainous areas," he said.
The teachers and pupils at Einstein School have been very supportive and helped the school raise funds.
Even though Dat's request for money gifts may be misunderstood, Dat said such thoughts were not the issue. As November 20 is Teachers' Day it is more important to help other teachers and pupils, he said.

PITTSBURGH, PA- U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) today spoke at Carnegie Mellon University about Pennsylvania’s proud industrial and manufacturing heritage, natural resources and skilled workforce as a backdrop for the state’s transition to a clean energy economy. Senator Casey highlighted the important role Pennsylvania can play as our nation moves forward to regain control of our economy, our national security and our energy future.
“By choosing the right path America can regain control and reclaim its competitive edge, restore its energy independence and create a new economic engine that will drive our economy through the 21st Century,” said Senator Casey. “We need not look any farther than Pittsburgh for a shining example of how an economy can transform itself. And it is time that Pennsylvania, with its long history of hard work, ingenuity, spirit and skill help lead the Nation’s next great economic revolution. We have already taken advantage of the well-trained, dedicated, skilled workforce and entrepreneurial spirit that has grown out of our industrial past and present, as Pennsylvania has fast become a leader in clean and renewable energy.”
Senator Casey continued: “So it is time that Washington moves forward with responsible climate legislation that will reduce carbon pollution and invest in clean energy technology to expand our nation’s manufacturing and industrial base and create a new generation of job opportunities.”
As the Senate debate on climate change progresses, Senator Casey has taken action on a number of initiatives to promote the clean energy economy and advocate for Pennsylvania.
Last year, after lengthy opposition, a number of tax incentives were extended for businesses that invest in power generated from wind, the sun, geothermal and other sources of clean, renewable energy.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act enacted earlier this year includes over $80 billion in investments in clean energy to jump-start the effort to create clean energy jobs and the economy. That includes tax incentives for clean energy manufacturers and for small businesses and families to invest in energy efficiencies. And already, $455 million has been set aside for Pennsylvania to promote energy independence and another $233 million was recently announced to create a more efficient and reliable electrical grid system in Pennsylvania.
To reduce pollution from manufacturing and electricity generation, Senator Casey has been a proponent of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. He has worked with other senators from coal states to recommend ways to accelerate the demonstration and deployment of CCS. He has also introduced legislation to increase funding for clean coal research, development and demonstration with much of that RD&D being conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory in South Park, Pennsylvania. And along with Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY), he introduced S. 1502, the Carbon Storage Stewardship Trust Fund Act of 2009, that will help ensure the safety and long-term stewardship of storing carbon dioxide in geological formations.
To provide a bridge for our workers and our communities as we move to a clean energy economy, Senator Casey recently introduced S. 2742, the American Worker and Community Assistance Act. This legislation will help workers affected by pollution reduction legislation. The bill provides job training assistance, wage replacement and health benefits replacement to workers in energy-intensive industries. The bill also enables communities to obtain grants to develop comprehensive strategic plans for community redevelopment, economic adjustment, diversification of employment opportunities, environmental remediation projects, and public infrastructure construction projects.

Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment, has celebrated the 30th anniversary of Rosanne Cash’s ‘King’s Record Shop’ with commemorative 12″ 180gram vinyl (and digital) editions which were released July 7.
Originally released through Columbia Records on June 26, 1987, King’s Record Shop proved a pivotal album in the career of Rosanne Cash and in the emergence of Americana as an heir to traditional country music, Legacy Recordings said.
Roseanne Cash commented: “King’s Record Shop was a watershed record for me, and, if I may say so, an important moment for women in country music at that time. It was the first time a woman country artist had ever had four #1 singles from one album. I was tremendously proud, and deeply honoured to work with the musicians who played on the album. Rodney Crowell was the guiding force, and he says he feels ‘blessed to have been a member of the team.’ I feel the same way: we were a team, and the work we created was captured in a shining moment that still gives pleasure these thirty years later.”

The Yankees did not make any blockbuster moves at the July 31 trade deadline, but they acquired several veteran complementary players who they believed could provide help toward a playoff run. One of those players, Martin Prado, might have helped keep them in the playoff race Friday.
Prado, who had homered earlier in the game, singled with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning to send the Yankees to a 4-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Prado pointed to the dugout as his line drive on a 3-2 pitch from Chicago reliever Daniel Webb headed toward center field. Teammates rushed to the field to greet him.
“I can describe that as one of the biggest moments of my career,” Prado said. “Not personally wise, but I’m talking about getting a win for the Yankees. It means a lot for anyone.”
Three Yankees relievers (Shawn Kelley, Dellin Betances and David Robertson) combined to shut out the White Sox for four innings after the rookie starter Shane Greene could not get out of the sixth.
“That’s what we’ve come to expect from them,” Brett Gardner said of the bullpen.
The Yankees have come to expect good performances from Greene, who has pitched ably after being put into the rotation in July.Continue reading the main story
If the Yankees are to take any positives from all the injuries to their starting rotation this season, it is that they have been able to discover that players from their farm system, such as Greene and David Phelps, are capable of pitching in a major league rotation. The Yankees are likely to consider Greene for next year’s rotation even if C. C. Sabathia and Ivan Nova recover from their injuries.
But Greene struggled in the first inning Friday, eliminating almost any chance that he would pitch deep into the game. The first two Chicago batters in the first inning, Alejandro De Aza and Carlos Sanchez, singled and then scored on Jose Abreu’s 32nd home run of the season. Greene threw 28 pitches in the inning. He was removed from the game in the sixth when he allowed the first two batters to reach base.
“It looked like he was off the whole night,” Manager Joe Girardi said.
But Kelley came in and kept the White Sox from scoring.
The Yankees scored their first runs of the game on Prado’s two-run homer in the third inning against John Danks. They tied the game in the fifth when Jacoby Ellsbury’s double scored Gardner.
The Yankees put on the lead runner on in the sixth and seventh innings, but were unable to score. They entered Friday’s game having scored only 23 runs in the past 10 games. The offensive struggles caused several of the position players to hold a players-only meeting before Thursday’s 3-0 win against the Houston Astros.
Even before the meeting, Prado had been working to change his results. He had just a .686 on-base plus slugging percentage when he arrived in a trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 31.
“When I got traded, it was a little strange,” Prado said. “But along the way it’s been a couple good weeks, some ups and downs. I left my past behind me.”
Twice a week, Prado and Francisco Cervelli take early batting practice with the hitting coach Kevin Long. It may be starting to pay results.
“Since I’ve started in the big leagues, I’ve been a Prado fan,” Cervelli said. “I really was a fan because he came like me. He was playing everywhere just waiting for a chance, and now he’s a starting player. He deserves it. Hard worker. I’m a big fan.”
Prado may have earned himself some more fans after his big hit on Friday night.
On Friday, Yankees pitcher David Phelps, who was placed on the disabled list on Aug. 8 with inflammation in his right elbow, threw on flat ground from 60 feet, the third time he had done so. Phelps projected that he was likely to begin throwing from the mound sometime late next week. Joe Girardi said that when Phelps returned to the roster, he would pitch out of the bullpen. “I just think it’s this late in the season now if I were to be stretched out to be a starter,” Phelps said. “It would take too long. It’s one thing if this had happened in June or July even — you could take that month and get stretched out. But if I were to get stretched out to be a starter now, we’d have a week or a week and a half left.” ... David Robertson recorded his 500th career strikeout in the ninth. In terms of innings (3762/3), Robertson is the quickest to record 500 strikeouts in Yankees history.Continue reading the main story

Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) has confirmed it has received a “binding offer” from Constellation Hotels to acquire Intercontinental Paris – Le Grand hotel.
The proposed purchase price is €330 million and Constellation has made a commitment to invest around €60 million in future hotel renovations.
The move is part of IHG’s plans to sell off some of its hotels in order to free up capital.
IHG would retain a 30-year management contract on the hotel, with three 10-year extension rights “at IHG’s discretion”, giving an expected contract length of 60 years. Management fees are expected to be approximately €4 million a year.
“The Intercontinental Paris – Le Grand is an exceptional property and is an iconic hotel in our portfolio,” said IHG’s CEO Richard Solomons. “This announcement demonstrates the continued successful implementation of our asset-light strategy and the strength of our relationship with Constellation, following its recent purchase of Intercontinental London Park Lane and its majority investment in New York Barclay hotel.
“This potential transaction is yet another example of the enduring appeal of InterContinental as one of the world’s leading luxury hotel brands,” Solomons added.
IHG has now entered into a period of exclusivity with Constellation, and, in line with French legal requirements, will enter into a consultation period with the relevant employees’ representatives.
The hotel, which is located in the centre of Paris close to the Opera House, has 470 rooms, including 70 suites, It first opened it 1862 and has operated under the Intercontinental brand since 1982.
Last month, IHG confirmed it will terminate its contract at the Intercontinental London Westminster, which will now become a Hilton Conrad.IHG.com

My new husband taught me right off the mark: “If you are away from the house, if it starts raining, Stay Where You Are.” And he was so right. Having lived in Houston for about 25 years at the time, he had seen the rain water flood streets such as Shepard, Westheimer, Alabama, all of downtown Houston (he worked at The Greensheet on Main St and lived off Alabama for years). If you live in the area you know the usual flooded streets.
The same month we married we had lunch at Demeris BBQ, Alabama and Westheimer, across from the old Alabama Theater (was a Half Price book store at the time). It started raining so we stayed after finishing lunch. We watched a red sports car, parked next door at Pappa’s, as the water rose and finally poured into the car’s open window. The owner finally ran out and got into it, to try and save the interior. It was also amazing to see the cars still trying to drive north and south on Westheimer, and the number of them which finally stalled out on the curb. In a couple of hours the water was gone and we left.
Sometimes it’s easy to think “I can make it” and drive through a flooded area, only to stall out and wish you suddenly had a “Duck” or a helicopter to get you out before the news choppers fly over you and see you waving for help.
The weather folks are talking about a possible tropical storm in the Gulf in the coming few days. If it does form and moves into the Houston and surrounding areas bringing rain…please remember: Turn Around Don’t Drown.
Or just stay home during bad weather and remember to visit Drake Homes Inc online!!

They're likely to play without 7-foot center Fab Melo, who has been prevented from playing the past two games. He was averaging 7.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.
"I thought he was probably the best shot blocker in the country," Huggins said. "When you have that kind of guy around the rim, it's hard, particularly with us. We have a hard time jumping over a wallet."
WVU had its moments against the St. John's zone. Players attacked, but St. John's blocked seven shots. Deniz Kilicli scored inside early, but couldn't get it going. He finished 2-for-4 and Huggins pulled him early in the first half and only played Kilicli 21 minutes.
Jones rebounded in the zone and had open jumpers early, but he missed most, including a few that rattled around the rim. Dominique Rutledge absorbed Kilicli's minutes and was active in the middle. He was 3-for-5 and finished with six points and seven rebounds in 13 minutes.
"I probably should have played Dom more minutes," Huggins said. "I thought of all the guys other than K.J., Dom gave us pretty good minutes. I should have played him more."
He tried others. Aaron Brown was 0-for-4 and missed both his 3-point attempts. Gary Browne didn't take a shot, but turned the ball over three times and missed all four of his free-throw attempts.
Huggins even played walk-on Paul Herbert Williamson in his first Big East game and freshman Tommie McCune in his third - and the first not against Rutgers. In to shoot against the zone, they were 0-for-3 from 3-point range and McCune actually played with his shorts on backwards.
After the game, Huggins said one of the officials (Doug Shows, John Gaffney, Mike Roberts) asked during the game if Huggins has anyone who was willing to play.
"We didn't prepare to win the game," Jones said. "We weren't ready to play."
WVU is 1-9 all-time with nine straight losses against the Orange in the Carrier Dome, which was the site of the team's NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight victories in 2010. Still, the 2011-12 Mountaineers are now 1-4 on the road with four of the season's five lowest scoring totals and shooting percentages.
The Mountaineers average 75 points per game and 46 percent shooting overall, but average 62.8 points and 38.2 percent shooting on the road with a minus-2 assist-turnover ratio.
"You see it coming and you try to tell them," Huggins said. "You try to show them and try to explain to them how hard this league is. We put up the league standings before last week. Cincinnati was a half-game out of first place. They get beat twice and look where they are now (tied for third, 5-3).
"The league's that close, but that didn't seem to affect us that much."

Ratepayers will not be out of pocket as a result of a decision by ABC Council to employ a third party security firm to protect its staff and properties.
As Armagh I revealed last week, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council has been making use of the services of the Belfast-based Eventsec.
The company was employed to help oversee the reopening of the recycling centres and parks across the borough.
Strategic Director Mark Parkinson confirmed that they were there for the “front line” security of staff and properties.
The revelations led to questions being raised by a trio of DUP councillors who questioned why the company was being employed when up to 200 staff were facing furlough.
We can now reveal that the staff who are expected to be furloughed are likely to be those employed at “leisure, arts and culture facilities” which are described as “income generating” for the council.
Councillor Darryn Causby had queried how many staff were being employed.
He said: “I would like to know how many Eventsec staff are the council currently employing, as in personnel, not how many teams?
“And the other question is how much is this costing us per day and, given that we have them on site now, when do we envisage that we will no longer require Eventsec?”
Councillor Causby also picked up on the issue raised by his colleague Mr Baxter when he continued: “We are paying staff 100% to task and finish and then go home, which under the circumstances may be fair enough.
“But then we know we are short-staffed in other areas, therefore we are having to bring an external company in to make up the numbers to assist council staff in other departments to fulfil their job to full capacity.
“That’s concerning in the sense that we are paying staff, and letting them go home early, and then bringing in additional support so we can open our amenity sites. And then we are talking about furloughing 200 members of our own staff and yet we can’t get our sites and our parks opened and closed by our own council staff. That to me doesn’t seem right. It’s very confusing.”
The strategic director Mr Parkinson revealed 10 Eventsec personnel employed in a couple of teams in parks. Their employment came to an end on Friday.
A number of others employed supporting staff in the four recycling centres will be retained for a short time more to facilitate ongoing reopenings.
But Armagh I can now revealed that the costs – which were not identified at the meeting – will not fall upon the ratepayer.
In fact, Stormont will foot the bill.
An ABC Council spokesperson told Armagh I : “‘In relation to Eventsec staff there is no cost to the council, as these additional costs are covered by central government funding.”
In terms of concerns raised over the furloughing of staff and the current state of play, the spokesperson detailed the current position.
She said: “From a council perspective, making an application to the Job Retention Scheme for 80% of wage costs will help offset the financial deficit we are currently facing.
“Currently, approximately 200 workers are being contacted in respect of furlough.
“In line with the guidance from the JRS, the roles affected are linked to income generating aspects of council business, including leisure, arts and culture facilities.”

Florida Loans: Here’s The Low-Down From Andy Loans
Before we dig into Florida loans, let’s talk about the amazing people hunting them down – you!
From its sun-kissed beaches to thrilling theme parks, there’s an abundance of world-famous attractions right here in Florida, and there’s certainly no shortage of people. 21.3 million people live in Florida, making it the fourth largest state in America by population, with more people moving to the sunshine state every year. From an outsider looking in Florida probably looks like a tropical paradise with its stunning weather and diverse culture, but for locals, it’s not always what it’s made out to be. Living in Florida can come at a cost.
What are Florida loans?
If you’re looking for Florida loans, look no further than Andy Loans. We get it, for locals, living in Florida is not a year-round holiday, despite what the rest of the country thinks. The reality is, Florida is expensive, and you’ll be spending most of your hard earned cash on housing and your spare time dodging tourists on every corner. Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do about the tourists, but ask Andy and we can help you find a lender who can give you the breathing room to make your life a little easier. We’re the lender-finder Americans turn to when they need a helping hand.

Why do people love Florida?
There’s a lot to love about Florida, as it turns out. We’ve done a little digging and asked the locals, to get down to the nitty-gritty of what makes Florida so good? Sunburnt vacationers frolicking around theme parks and resorts are only seeing one (very small) side to the sunshine state. The following list may come as no surprise to true Floridians, but we think you might like to read it anyway, and who knows we might shoutout your favourite spot! Here’s a list of some of the often touted perks of living in Florida.
#1 Rich in culture and personality
Home to a whole host of people from a wide variety of different cultures and backgrounds,
Florida is bursting at the seams with cultural diversity. Not only does this means it offers huge range of lip-smacking food from all over the world, but it also means there are always things to do and see. Be it art, music or sport, there’s something to tickle every Floridians’ fancy.
#2 Beautiful one day, perfect the next
Can we really talk about the perks of Florida without mentioning its weather? Now we know, Florida weather can swing both ways of the weather argument with extreme conditions as well. Yet for the most part, the tropical climate goes hand in hand with the beauty of the state and is a huge part of its identity. While residents of northern cities like Chicago and New York are avoiding the freezing outdoors in the winter, most Floridians are hanging outside in the 60-70 degree temps and soaking up some rays. What’s not to love about that?
#3 World class beaches
More than 800 stunning beaches skirt the coast of Florida. White sandy shores and crystal clear water is not hard to find. With so much prime oceanfront, it’s no wonder there are so many stunners—and a stretch of sand to fit every type of vacation. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing family-friendly getaway, or tan by day party by night kind of vibe, Florida has got you covered with world-class beaches. The only problem is choosing which one to enjoy. Here’s a list of the most incredible beaches in Florida:
- Key West
- South Beach
- Siesta Key
- Clearwater Beach
- Atlantic Beach
- Palm Beach
- Naples Beach
#4 Mouth-watering food
Even though Florida is geographically south if you’re familiar with southern food, you’ll find that its native foods are quite different from that of its bordering neighbours, Georgia and Alabama.
Being on the south coast, it should really come as no surprise that seafood reigns supreme here, and they’re certainly is a lot on offer. A mix of culture and international flavour has influenced the wonderful range of food available in Florida.
Whether you’re into luxury restaurants or quirky food trucks, here’s a list of Floridian food (and drinks) that are a must try:
- Stone crab claws
- Cuban sandwiches
- Key lime pie
- Conch fritters
- Gator (bites or tail)
#Sport is king
Gone are the days of Lebron James and Dwayne Wade at the Miami Heat and the NBA domination that came with them, but Floridians are still extremely passionate about their sport. Whether it be football, basketball, baseball or even ice hockey, Florida is home to some of the most recognised and famous sports teams not only in America but in the world. Attending one of these large scale sporting events won’t disappoint, but you already know that don’t you?
What’s not to love about Florida
Florida has a lot to offer – from weather to beaches, culture and sport. Unfortunately, however, it’s not all sunshine in the sunshine state. There are some pitfalls to living here. Here’s what the locals have to say about why living in Florida isn’t always easy:
#1 So. Many. Tourists.
If you’re not into tourism, which permanent residents of a place heavily touristed generally aren’t, Florida can get old pretty quickly. In 2018 Florida had 126 million tourists visit. Though this might be great for the state economy, this is more than a little bit concerning to permanent residents. Most locals will probably have a story about being stopped in the middle of the road by tourists asking where Disney World is, only to be 50 miles away from Disney.
#2 The Weather Can Turn Nasty
We hope this goes without saying, but Florida is known for its hurricanes. Preparing for extreme sun, and in some unfortunate cases, extreme weather is a part of life in Florida. Although locals might not consider this to be a reason to flee the state, it’s certainly one of the less desirable qualities of it. In 2017, Hurricane Irma took the lives of 123 people in Florida and destroyed countless homes. The effect of these natural disasters can be catastrophic and extremely expensive.
#3 The traffic is terrible
The I-4, the main highway from Daytona Beach through Orlando and ending in Tampa, is especially bad for traffic. It’s the main road to access the major theme parks and is often very congested. Not too mention when an accident occurs (and plenty do), the traffic can come to hour-long standstills. This is not ideal for anyone living here, but that’s what over 100 million tourists a year will do. Mix in bad bad weather and bad drivers, and… well, you get the gist.
#4 Dinosaurs roam free
No, we don’t mean actual dinosaurs. We’re talking about huge alligators. No matter how hot it is, it’s best to avoid the lakes in Florida if you want to stay alive. Oh, and always check your pool before you take a quick dip. We’ve all seen the photos of alligators cooling off in people’s backyards.

Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association steer roper Jaime Long of Teague, Texas, was seriously injured during steer roping slack at the Ellensburg (Wash.) Rodeo on August 27. Long, who turned 46 on August 27, was taken by ambulance to Kittitas Valley Hospital in Ellensburg for evaluation before being life-flighted to Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle for further treatment. Details on Long’s injuries have not yet been released.
“His horse stepped over the rope, the horse went down, Jaime got jerked down and knocked out, and his foot got stuck in the stirrup,” said PRCA Pro Official Wade Berry, who was in the arena when Long was injured. “When his horse got up, he took off with Jaime’s foot still hung in the stirrup. They got him stopped and got Jaime out of there, but it was a scary situation, for sure.”
“This is a chance all rodeo cowboys take every time we nod our heads,” said PRCA steer roping event rep J.P. Wickett. “We hope and pray Jaime’s all right, and that he has a speedy recovery. He’s a great guy. Anytime anything like this happens we’re all devastated.”

Neuroscientist Carl Hart PhD, tells the real truth about drugs and their effects on society.
Neuroscientist Carl Hart PhD, grew up on the impoverished streets of Miami, engaging in petty crimes and drug use in his youth. After high school, he joined the United States Air Force which allowed him a chance at a higher education. In 1998 he became the first tenured African-American professor in the sciences at Columbia University – a long way from the youth he was on the streets of Miami.
With his long dreadlocks and easy way of speaking, Dr. Hart has become not only a scientist, but an activator and educator as well, doing his best to spread the truth about drugs and addiction across America and the world.
“Drug Addiction wasn’t the Problem. The Problem was Law Enforcement.”
Growing up in Miami in the 70’s and 80’s, Hart says that cocaine was everywhere. First it was powder cocaine, but that slowly turned into crack cocaine. Coming back to Miami after serving in the Air Force, he could see that cocaine was ruining his community – according to Hart, 60 to 70 percent of the guys his age were getting arrested for drug-related charges.
When Hart had an opportunity to study the effects of drugs at the University, he gladly accepted – thinking, he says in an interview for Columbia University, “Maybe this is the key. Maybe I could figure out why people like drugs so much. And then maybe I’ll be able to help do something back home. I thought I was going to be able to cure drug addiction.”
However, as Hart began his research – first on rats and then on humans – he realised that the truth about drugs and addiction stemmed a lot further away from the drugs than he had thought. The problem, he had begun to realise, was law enforcement.
The Truth about Drugs: The Effects of Harsh Penalties on Drug Crimes
Hart believes that during the ‘war on drugs’, a false representation of these drugs has been made into the “reality”, caused mainly by well-known drug campaigns such as “Don’t Do Drugs” and “This is your brain on drugs” (with a picture of a broken egg in a frying pan). Hart believes that educating the public about the real effects of drugs is the only way to go in the future – that, and legalizing them.<
According to Hart, the only things that come from harsh penalties for drug crimes and possession are ruined lives, seasoned criminals, and addicts who don’t know where to get help. He is not shy to remind folks that President Obama once used illegal drugs – and should he have been caught with those on his person at any time – he would have been sent to jail, lost years of his life in a violent place, and likely never would have made it to become President. Hart fully believes that pulling your life together again after prison is difficult for everyone, and impossible for some. Further, he notes that exaggerating the effects of drugs and giving them such a negative stigma means that many of those who need help with a drug problem won’t seek help out of fear of being ostracized.
In his recent TedMed2014 talk, Hart speaks the truth about drugs, their effects, and how society in general should react to drugs going forward, and the stereotypes and stigmas that surround not only the drug users, but the drugs themselves. The full video can be viewed here.

Superfood Kale: saving your body one vitamin at a time
Kale is often touted as a super-food and has nicknames such as the
world’s healthiest vegetable. However, it’s characteristically bitter
taste means that it’s hard to incorporate into your diet.
It’s no surprise to anyone that the majority of kale recipes online
tout that the actual product “tastes nothing like kale.” Kale is often
frozen because exposure to this frost leads to a sweeter taste. In
addition, recipes that call for kale in salads are often coupled with
intense flavors, in order to cover up the bitterness.
Kale, in fact, even has more nutrients than spinach. Kale contains
many essential vitamins such as vitamin A, C and K. it also has a
variety of minerals like copper, potassium, iron, manganese and
phosphorous. It also is extremely low in calories, containing only 40
calories in one cup.
The vitamin content in kale is extremely high. It has more than 10
times the amount of vitamin C and also contains a very low oxalate
content, which means that minerals such as calcium and iron are more
readily absorbed throughout the body.
Kale, as a leafy vegetable, also has a decent amount of fiber. It also
contains alpha-lipoic acid, which lowers glucose levels and increases
insulin sensitivity. This may benefit both type 1 and type 2
In addition, kale has been proven to aid in preventing heart diseases
due to its high amounts of vitamins, fiber and minerals. Fiber,
potassium and vitamins C and B6 all support a healthy heart, and
consuming a good amount of these regularly can reduce cardiovascular
The potassium content is one of the greatest assets in kale; people
who consumed over 4000 mg of potassium per day had a 49 percent lower risk of
death from heart disease compared to those who consumed only 1000 mg a
day, a study shows.
Kale, as a green vegetable, contains chlorophyll that can also negate
the effects of carcinogens typically found in charred foods during
A large amount of vitamin K is also found in kale; one cup has nearly
seven times the daily need. This ensures that the risk of bone
fracture, which is associated with a low amount of vitamin K intake,
The amount of water content and fiber in kale also aids with
digestion, an important factor in keeping a body healthy.

Some really wonderful people were involved with putting together Boston Stands with the ACLU.
Belly at Boston Stands with the ACLU. What a night.
After dueting with Mike Gent on “You’re So Vain,” Tanya Donelly was joined by Gail Greenwood for a handful of Belly tunes. Wow.
In addition to hosting the Hot Stove Cool Music show, Mike O’Malley took a turn with the house band to sing “Glad And Sorry.”
What would Hot Stove Cool Music be without a shoot-from-the-hip set by the Hot Stove All Stars?
Robin Lane And The Chartbusters are legends in this town. They reunited for the Pipeline! at 25 shows.
When you think of Boston bands that consistently write great songs, Buffalo Tom should be in your head.
Tanya Donelly backed by Buffalo Tom at the Midway? I never thought I’d see this.
