The Future is Now

At the beginning of February, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its latest report stating that it is now "unequivocal" that most of the warming we have observed over the last 50 years is the result of man-made greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, our dependence on oil imports from foreign nations has grown inexorably to more than 60 percent of our daily consumption.

We are headed for an unsustainable overheating of the planet, and we are buying oil at an exorbitant rate to do it. In fact, we are helping to fund terrorism by our own unwillingness to get serious about the efficiency of our automobiles, buildings, appliances and electronic devices.

The Politics of Immigration

A Climate for Change

In the 110th Congress, we must act fast to confront these challenges. While the Pentagon mandates repeated duty extensions for our troops serving in Iraq, the administration refuses to mandate policies at home that can free us from our oil addiction and lead us to a more sustainable energy path. The public wants action, our children deserve action and, for the first time in many years, we have a speaker of the House who has pledged action. It is time to embrace a new future.

Global warming is the most serious challenge our planet faces. The greenhouse gases that we have already emitted commit us to a dangerous and unprecedented level of warming. The question is whether or not we are going to take the action needed to stop, stabilize and reduce future emissions in order to stay out of a climate "red zone" that would bring dramatically rising sea levels, extreme droughts, massive flooding and intense tropical storms and hurricanes more powerful than Katrina and Rita.

For the past 12 years, the Republican Congress has stifled debate and prevented action to address this issue. In the absence of federal leadership, the responsibility fell to state and local leaders to address global warming, working in partnership with our allies abroad. The public outcry around the country, and the concern of forward-looking business leaders, forced this conversation out into the open despite federal indifference.

My own state of Massachusetts has joined with eight other Northeastern states in a regional program to freeze and then reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Out West, the governors of five states have also recently signaled their intention to join together to reduce emissions. And more than 300 mayors have signed a climate protection agreement signaling their commitment to working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their cities. These are but a few examples of the tremendous groundswell of public support for ambitious goals and programs to address the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing global warming.

The Politics of Immigration

A Climate for Change

To capture this moment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has now created a bipartisan, 15-member Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming to elevate the visibility of these critical issues and to hold the hearings, conduct the investigations and provide the recommendations for action that have been absent for the past 12 years. The Democratic chairmen of the legislative committees in both the House and the Senate are holding their own eye-opening hearings, which previous Republican chairmen would not allow. This new commitment to action in the Congress goes to the heart of the sustainability of the planet and the security of our future energy supplies.

As chairman of the new select committee, I intend to do everything I can to keep the public focus on these looming crises and to maintain a climate for political action that matches the challenges we face. We must start evaluating what we do according to three criteria:

1. Does it reduce the danger of global warming by limiting the emissions of CO2 and other heat-trapping gases?

2. Does it reduce our dangerous addiction to oil consumption?

3. Does it restore America's leading role in job creation and future-oriented technological innovation?

Global warming and oil dependence are twin weaknesses that are testing our nation's capacity to respond boldly and effectively. We continue to be the source of a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and a quarter of the world's daily consumption of oil. There is no doubt that we have the technology, the ingenuity and the experience to address these problems with the urgency required.

Our allies and our enemies are waiting for us to act. Will we reclaim our leadership role in the world or will we continue to go it alone? In the end, we are either going to meet this challenge together or suffer the consequences together. We are either going to solve this problem or we are going to destroy the planet. The time to act is now.

Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is chairman of the newly created House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.

President Obama names 'cops' for finance

Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, said the nomination was “premature, given the outstanding concerns about the bureau and the legal challenge to the recess appointment.”

“I will continue my opposition to any nominee for director,” he said.

Obama gave no hint Thursday he will agree to Republicans’ demands.

In his effort to show support for the middle class, the president has highlighted the creation of the bureau, a part of Dodd-Frank that is far more relatable to voters than complex rules governing derivatives or bank capital.

Agreeing to anything that could be portrayed as weakening the watchdog would be a major concession.

“Financial institutions have plenty of lobbyists looking out for their interests,” Obama said. “The American people need Richard to keep standing up for them. And there’s absolutely no excuse for the Senate to wait any longer to confirm him.”

Since Cordray assumed the job a year ago — he can remain in the post until the end of the year even if not confirmed — the agency has moved ahead with its agenda.

It recently put out a slew of mortgage rules mandated by Dodd-Frank and is ramping up its oversight of debt collectors, consumer reporting firms and student lenders.

Banking industry officials are hoping Democrats will embrace making changes to the bureau in exchange for Cordray’s confirmation.

“We are one rule away from bringing the financial markets into chaos, which is much more likely to happen when you have a sole director versus a commission,” said Richard Hunt, president and CEO of the Consumer Bankers Association, which supports the proposals pushed by Republicans.

There has been some speculation that Republicans and the White House could be open to a compromise that would replace the single director with a five-member board, but neither the White House nor Senate Democrats have indicated that’s a deal they want to cut.

Camden Fine, the president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America, said nominating Cordray again so early in his second term was “a pretty aggressive move” by Obama in the face of what is sure to be a tough confirmation battle.

“But on the other side, we’re not even out of January yet, so the Senate has essentially all year to chew on this because Cordray’s nomination does not expire until Dec. 31,” he said. “So there’s plenty of room for maneuvering throughout the year.”

Consumer advocates sounded an optimistic tone Thursday as they praised the work CFPB has accomplished under Cordray’s leadership.

“There’s a general acceptance that the agency is here to stay,” said John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.

“Cordray has proved himself to be somebody who’s willing to listen to both sides of the aisle and to the lending industry as well as consumers, and maybe this is just one of those fights that doesn’t make sense for people who opposed him initially.”

Chairman Patrick Leahy announced the rescheduling at the beginning of the session.

Assault weapons proposal put off

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a markup for new gun control legislation for one week, delaying action on a controversial proposal to ban assault weapons.

The postponement also allows more time for bipartisan negotiations between Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to reach a deal to expand background checks for all gun purchases. Those talks have stalled over Coburn’s objections to permanent record keeping of gun purchases becoming a part of background checks.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) announced at the beginning of Thursday’s session that consideration of four gun-related bills, including an assault weapons ban offered by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), would be rescheduled for next week.

( PHOTOS: Will these guns be banned again?)

Such a delay is normal procedure under Judiciary Committee rules.

Feinstein said she was determined to push ahead on her assault weapons bill, although some Democrats from red states have expressed concerns over the legislation. The National Rifle Association and gun-owner groups are also strongly opposed to the proposal, which could reach the Senate floor next month.

“It is a life mission’s for me,” Feinstein said.

Leahy also vowed to stay in session next week as long as needed.

But Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, indicated he would oppose the Feinstein bill, and most other Republicans have objected as well.

Grassley said the Feinstein proposal “raises a lot of constitutional questions.”

Grassley, though, praised a version of a background check legislation offered by Schumer. However, that was just a proposal intended to hold the place for any potential compromise between Schumer and Coburn that only laid out “findings” and didn’t include any legislative language. Grassley has not endorsed the latest version of the Schumer-Coburn proposal that has been circulated by members.

“I think many of us could support the current language of that bill,” Grassley said, a small joke at Schumer’s expense.

Schumer later told reporters that his discussions with Coburn were ongoing and no deal has been reached at this time.

Documents surfaced showing that top aides in the governor’s office arranged the closures.

Mayor: I take Christie 'at his word'

Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich on Thursday said he was “glad” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie visited the town to apologize for the politically motivated George Washington Bridge lane closures.

“I’m glad he came. I take him for his word, which is [that] he had nothing to do with it,” Sokolich told reporters following the meeting, according to CNN. “We, in Fort Lee, are not rooting for facts to … come about and surface that would suggest in so shape or form that he was involved. “

Sokolich has taken a sharp tone against the Christie administration since documents surfaced, showing that top aides in the governor’s office maliciously arranged the traffic closures.

The mayor’s comments following Christie’s apology reflect a lighter, conciliatory tone.

“At the end, I did say, ‘Governor, am I on your radar?’ I think his answer was something to the effect of we now have our ‘own screen,’” Sokolich joked.

Wallets to watch in 2014 races

Billionaires, super PACs and nonprofits are gearing up for another round of intraparty fighting that will shape the direction of their respective parties for years to come.

On the Republican side, the business wing of the GOP establishment has declared war on elements of the party’s base — convinced that the religious right’s focus on social issues is costing swing votes and that tea partiers are playing a dangerous game of chicken with the U.S. economy. Those conservative activists, on the other hand, are determined to rid their party of the moderates and compromisers who they say are empowering President Barack Obama and standing in the way of meaningful conservative reform.

Democrats — less prone recently to pitched battles about the direction of the party in the age of Obama — are also showing early signs of a growing split over the future of the party.

( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)

Progressives and left-leaning activists are already clamoring for alternatives to the centrist, pro-business (read: Hillary Clinton) wing of the party — embodied by Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s rise to prominence as a darling of the left. Meanwhile, on two hot-button issues — climate and gun control — activist mega-donors are determined to punish Democrats deemed insufficiently committed to the party’s stated agenda on both issues.

Here are 10 people and groups that are poised to play a major role in primaries or setting the political agenda in 2014:

1) Karl Rove’s Crossroads networks

In 2014, strategist Karl Rove’s mission is to save the GOP from fiscal and cultural hardliners.

Convinced that the purity demanded by conservative activists has cost the party a half-dozen Senate seats in 2010 and 2012, Rove has added a new super PAC to his Crossroads network.

His new Conservative Victory Project super PAC is aimed at backing the most conservative, electable candidates — helping provide a counterweight to tea party zeal and avoid duds like 2010 Delaware candidate Christine O’Donnell or 2012 Missouri candidate Todd Akin.

( Also on POLITICO: 10 critical Senate races in 2014)

Though the new group didn’t raise any money in the first half of 2013 — something that the group has chalked up in previous interviews to a certain level of donor fatigue — Rove still has a massive donor network of influential conservatives who largely hail from the business community.

2) Michael Bloomberg

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has never been shy about using his wealth to advance his agenda. In 2013, his two pro-gun-control efforts — the super PAC Independence USA and Mayors Against Illegal Guns — spent millions against opponents of stricter gun regulation.

They’re poised to play a similar role in 2014 — despite the gun control agenda virtually disappearing after a failed Senate vote last year on background check legislation and a Congress more fearful of the power of the National Rifle Association than the pro-gun control lobby.

Independence USA put $2.2 million backing Robin Kelly over former Rep. Debbie Halvorson in a special election for an Illinois congressional seat. Halvorson had earned an A rating from the NRA during her time in Congress — but the NRA did nothing to help her. In an October interview, Bloomberg also vowed to defeat Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) — a vulnerable Democrat in a deep red state — for his 2013 vote on the background check bill.

3) American Principles

This outfit — comprised of a pair of nonprofits and a super PAC — is the advance guard of a planned big-money effort by the religious right to push back on establishment efforts to minimize divisive issues like abortion rights and gay marriage.

( Also on POLITICO: 10 must-watch House races)

To do that, social conservatives concede, they need to raise more money for aggressive outside spending, including in primaries. American Principles started a super PAC in May and spent $173,000 in October on ads attacking Democrat Cory Booker as a “ pro-abortion extremist” and Republican Liz Cheney as a gay rights supporter.

The success of the ads hitting Cheney in the Wyoming Republican Senate primary should help the group raise more money to air ads elevating social issues in more raises, said its leading donor, New Jersey hedge funder Sean Fieler.

“You need races and candidates and states that allow you to frame this in a way that other politicians are willing to emulate,” said Fieler, asserting that primaries present an appealing target for his group and others in the social conservative movement. “Participating in the primaries is more complicated for Party establishment donors and entities than it is for me.”

4) Club for Growth

The Club For Growth has long played in Republican primary battles — helping to boost a little-known Texan named Ted Cruz against the establishment favorite David Dewhurst in 2012, for example. In 2014, the Club has made five endorsements so far.

( PHOTOS: Governors’ offices up for grabs in 2014)

It’s backed Justin Amash and Bryan Smith in House races in Michigan and Idaho, respectively. And it threw its support behind Senate candidates Ben Sasse in Nebraska, Chris McDaniel in Mississippi and Tom Cotton in Arkansas.

Spokesman Barney Keller said the group’s 2014 strategy is the same as always: It’ll bundle contributions for candidates from supportive donors across the country and get involved with independent expenditures, if necessary.

5) Tom Steyer

Billionaire Tom Steyer has emerged as the top voice on climate change in Democratic circles.

He’s ramped up the pressure on Obama over the Keystone XL pipeline, warning the administration to reject it or face a rebellion from Democratic donors. His super PAC, the NextGen Committee, has been active in several off-cycle 2013 races and is poised to play a bigger role in 2014 in both party primaries and the general election.

Already, the super PAC backed Rep. Ed Markey in the 2013 Massachusetts Senate race over Rep. Stephen Lynch. The PAC also poured more than $8 million into the Virginia gubernatorial race to make an example of Republican Ken Cuccinelli.

A spokesperson said no decisions have been made which 2014 races to target — but it’s clear that Steyer is willing to intervene in primaries and general elections alike to change the political calculus on energy politics.

No rest for the weary, lawmakers busy retiring debt and filling coffers for 2014 - CREW files complaints against Crossroads GPS - Defense industry ups political spending - Now's the time to go Pro

With Tarini Parti

NO REST FOR THE WEARY — LAWMAKERS BUSY RETIRING DEBT, FILLING COFFERS FOR 2014: Election Day was nine days ago, but the fundraisers never stop. This week, lawmakers are looking to either retire debt incurred during long campaigns or pad their war chests for — yes — the 2014 midterms. Among them:

-- Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is hosting a reception to “kick off his 2014 reelection” on Dec. 10 at Cava Mezze rooftop in D.C. The minimum contribution is $1,000. And if you can’t make that shindig, Udall is conducting a weekend fundraising retreat from Feb. 8 to 10 at the Lodge at Vail in Vail, Colo., where $2,500 or more will let you merge skiing and politics until your heart is content:

-- Congressman-elect Chris Collins, a Republican from western New York, today conducted a “debt retirement breakfast” at D.C.’s Capitol Hill Club, where $500 got you in the door — $1,000 if you represented a political action committee. Collins defeated the better-funded Rep. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) to win New York’s 27th District seat, but as of Oct. 17, he reported $681,325 in debt, primarily in the form of loans he personally made to his campaign committee.

-- Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) will be treated with champagne and cupcakes at a Dec. 4 birthday party at Sonoma Restaurant in D.C. The minimum donation is $500 for individuals, $1,000 for PACs. Among the hosts are Doyce Boesch, a lead lobbyist for Strategic Health Care; Michael Bopp, public policy practice co-chairman for Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; and Jim Courtovich, managing partner at Sphere Consulting:

-- Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.) is calling all downtowners to join him for "his inaugural Boston Weekend," according to a fundraising invite. Slated to kickoff Dec. 7, the tentative schedule includes a Friday dinner and Boston Celtics game Saturday:

-- Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is looking to load up on cash for IMPACT, his leadership political action committee, with a reception and “recap of the 2012 election and discussion on its effects.” The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Dec. 11 at Acqua al 2 in D.C., and the minimum contribution is $1,000:

-- Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa) is heading to New York City on Dec. 7 for an evening soiree at the Princeton Club to fundraise for his leadership PAC, For America’s Republican Majority PAC. A minimum $1,000 contribution is required, $2,500 if you represent a PAC. Reps. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.), Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) and Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.) are also slated to appear.

CREW FILES COMPLAINTS AGAINST CROSSROADS GPS: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed complaints on Thursday with the Federal Election Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation against Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS.

CREW said that Crossroads GPS violated federal election law by failing to disclose the identities of contributors who donated $6 million specifically for the Ohio Senate race. CREW said it also believes Crossroads broke the law by soliciting donations to be spent on the Virginia, Montana and Nevada Senate races without disclosing the donors.

Jonathan Collegio, a spokesman for Crossroads GPS, wasn’t impressed. “CREW is a hyperpartisan, labor-funded front group that files frivolous complaints like this as part of its mission,” he told PI. “Crossroads is aware of the laws governing the groups and follows all of them closely.”

Federal law requires outside groups that make an independent expenditure to disclose the donors who make earmarked contributions.

An red-letter Thursday to you, PI faithful, as it was 235 years ago today in York, Pa., that the Continental Congress agreed to adopt the Articles of Confederation — the forerunner of the U.S. Constitution, which wouldn’t be put into place until 1789. Fun fact: The 11th article of confederation states that Canada would be freely admitted into the union if it chose to join.

Thanks for reading, and now, back to the day’s top influence industry news …

DEFENSE INDUSTRY RAMPS UP POLITICAL SPENDING: The political action committees of defense firms are poised to donate more money this election cycle than during any before, according to a new report by Virginia-based political intelligence firm PowerBase Associates. The partisan split is small, with Republican committees receiving about 52 percent to Democratic committees' more than 48 percent during the past three election cycles, the report concludes.

The spending trend during the yet-to-be-completed 2012 cycle, however, tilts toward the GOP, which enjoyed nearly 60 percent of the industry’s $29 million (and counting) in PAC-based political cash. For the full 2010 cycle, the industry donated $29.9 million at the federal level to major political committees, and during the 2008 cycle, it contributed $22.9 million.

The PACs of Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and General Electric lead all others in spending during the past three cycles, with Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, United Technologies, BAE Systems and SAIC next in line. Read the full report here:

ARMSTRONG’S LIVESTRONG TO STAY STRONG ON LOBBYING EFFORTS: Embattled cyclist Lance Armstrong might have cut all professional ties with Livestrong, the cancer charity he founded, but the foundation does not expect that to affect its relations with Capitol Hill. Livestrong has spent $100,000 so far this year on lobbying the federal government about funding for cancer-related research. The amount spent by the foundation has fluctuated in recent years. In 2010, it spent $70,000, and in 2009, it spent $280,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

David Lofye, vice president of government relations for the foundation, told PI in a statement: "The foundation has been an active and effective advocate on behalf of cancer patients and survivors for many years. We appreciate the leadership of the cancer community’s allies on the Hill, and we look forward to continuing the productive relationships we’ve always had with them. We don’t anticipate that changing."

Armstrong stepped down as chairman of the foundation and later from the board after he was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles on doping charges.

OIL LOBBY NAMES NEW CHAIRMAN: The American Petroleum Institute has elected Marathon Oil Corp. Chairman, President and CEO Clarence P. Cazalot Jr. to be chairman of its board of directors for one year, beginning Jan. 1, our colleagues at POLITICO Pro report. Cazalot takes over from Chevron CEO and President John S. Watson.

The American Petroleum Institute spent more than $8.6 million on federal lobbying efforts last year — an all-time annual high for the group, federal records indicate. Among the lobbying firms it’s hired this year to advocate on its behalf: Capitol Counsel, GDS Strategies, Johnston & Associates, Mehlman Vogel Castagnetti and Ogilvy Government Relations.

FOR YOUR CALENDAR: Starting 9:30 a.m. Friday, Common Cause will conduct a forum dubbed Dark Money, Media and Campaign 2012 at the D.C. office of the New America Foundation. Former Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Michael Copps will convene the discussion and Mark Lloyd, director of the Media Policy Initiative at the New America Foundation, will moderate .

Panelists include Craig Aaron, president and CEO of Free Press; Ellen Miller, executive director of the Sunlight Foundation; Jason Reifler, political science assistant professor at  Georgia State University; and Matea Gold, a Los Angeles Times reporter. Register here:

DAILY FUNNY: Conservative super PAC donors spent the week either screaming at their fat stacks of money or threatening their money with the prospect that they’d convert it into “worthless Thai baht” where it “will shuttle between American sailors and teenage prostitutes.” Per The Onion:

The ads have been running in major media outlets in the Washington, D.C., area. Many of the ads use the already popular ad campaigns of Nike and McDonald's to convey their message with slogans such as “Just Fix It” and “I’m Fixin’ it.”

Gordon Waller of Peter & Gordon Dies

08:56 AM Monday 7/20/09 | |

Gordon Waller of the pop duo Peter & Gordon, who were part of the 1960s British Invasion and had a string of hits including several written by their friend Paul McCartney, has died. He was 64.

Waller died Friday at The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Conn., nursing supervisor Nity Oris confirmed Monday. The duo's Web site says Waller, who lived in Ledyard, Conn., went into cardiac arrest Thursday night, and the state medical examiner's office lists his cause of death as cardiovascular disease.

Waller and Peter Asher hit No. 1 on music charts around the world in 1964 with their debut single "A World Without Love." McCartney, who at the time was dating Asher's sister, actress Jane Asher, wrote the song.

The duo also hit the charts with other songs written by McCartney, including "Nobody I Know" and "I Don't Want To See You Again." Although McCartney wrote the songs, they were jointly credited to him and John Lennon, as was all their work at the time.

Peter and Gordon's other hits included their versions of Del Shannon's "I Go to Pieces" and the Buddy Holly song "True Love Ways," both in 1965; "Lady Godiva," 1966; and "Knight in Rusty Armour" reached the top 20 in 1967.

"Woman," another McCartney song not to be confused with Lennon's later song of the same name - also reached the top 20 in 1966.

According to the book The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz, McCartney had started writing "A World Without Love" as a teenager. By the time the Beatles reached the top in 1963-64, it wasn't up to their current standard, and it had also been rejected by another singer as "too soft."

McCartney then rewrote it a bit and gave it to Asher. He and Waller "sang it with a pleasant laid-back yearning that transformed the song into a perfectly acceptable pop hit," Spitz wrote.

Peter Asher's Web site says Peter and Gordon had nine Top 20 records from 1964 until they split in 1968.

"Gordon played such a significant role in my life that losing him is hard to comprehend - let alone to tolerate," Asher said in a statement. "Gordon remains one of my very favourite singers of all time and I am still so proud of the work that we did together. I am just a harmony guy and Gordon was the heart and soul of our duo."

After the duo broke up, Asher went on to a long career as a producer. Working for the Beatles' Apple records, he produced James Taylor's first album. In the 1970s, he produced other Taylor albums as well as Linda Ronstadt's string of hits.

Waller was born in Braemar, Scotland. He met Asher at Westminister School in London, according to the duo's MySpace page.

Peter and Gordon, who both played acoustic guitar during their shows, reunited in 2005 for occasional performances. They had several dates this year, including two shows in Kentucky Aug. 27 and 28 and one at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut on Nov. 29.

On his own Web page, Gordon said his time with Asher was "some of the happiest moments of my life."

"I was able to tour with the Beatles in 1967 and see the world with Peter Asher and most of all play the music that I love," Gordon said on his Web page. "I still follow the same simple philosophy today and that is if it sounds good and the words mean something then you have a good song."

    Very sad.   Gordon just recently renunited with Peter Asher and had been touring again.   Another fine voice from the British Invasion goes silent.  Condolences to family , friends and fans.

And this. I agree with you. I very often see no significant difference between friends and loves.

To me, this is a good thing. To you this seems to be a source of sadness.

Why not talk about friends? I talk about mine loads. I am friends with some amazing people who fill my life with interest, affection and love. They are fascinating, vibrant individuals and I talk about them.

I wanted to say this but IP said it better than I would have.

I am sad for you that the love you used to feel for your friends (because I do think I saw this in your posts) no longer brings you happiness.

I can see that you're mourning the loss of your relationship with Mono as you knew it. And this is understandable - it was of immense value to you, it gave you great joy, and it has morphed into something that pleases you less. It seems natural to grieve over the loss.

And yet things will always change; we can't expect otherwise. (And if someone asked you to not change you might have felt trapped.) Sometimes reframing that way can help me, just as IP was reframing above. Of course you know already that things must change, but right now you don't really seem to accept it.

I think you might get something from the book I'm (re)reading these days, which addresses where the anxieties we feel may ultimately come from. I felt that it pulled together a lot of the issues that I've thought about and grappled with, and helped me see them in a larger picture. I'm rereading because it was a lot to absorb the first time through. It's by a therapist named Irving Yalom, and its called Existential Psychotherapy.

Technical translation

Nowadays the volume of cooperation between domestic and foreign companies is growing rapidly. This increases the amount of information that is exchanged. Thus, technical translation services are becoming more popular on the market.

Technical translation has its own specific character, and the main features include the need for the most accurate description of technological processes, competent translation of specific terms and observance of an appropriate presentation style. Translation of technical documentation, including instructions for the use of hardware and software requires linguistic and professional competence. Translators of Polyglot translation agency possess all of these skills. Translation competence combined with the excellent language skills of our specialists enables us to provide technical translation services in a highly professional manner.

Besides the basic requirements for translating technical texts, the professional competence and expertise in the areas the technical documentation is related with is of a great essence. We employ translators with appropriate specialization for technical translations - they are professional, experienced professional experts in the field. Many of our translators and editors are experts in various fields of production, so the technical translation provided by our company is performed by specialists who know the particular field in detail, not just in theory but in practice as well. In order for the translations to comply with the particular terminology for further editing and proofreading of translations, we employ experts in relevant areas, starting with relevant professional specialization and ending with specialists who possess scientific titles and degrees.

There is no important or less important information in translating technical literature and documentation and for this reason deviations from the strict standards of technical translation are completely unacceptable.

Main types of technical translation:

Translation of technical documentation, containing specific information related with various areas of expertise. The peculiarity of this type of translation lies not only in translating individual words, phrases and sentences. The translator must bear in mind the specific topics of the particular translation for this is what determines the qualification of a technical translator in the particular field.

Translation of passports for equipment. Due to the special significance of the information specified in the passport documentation, this is a challenging translation that can be performed only by a translator who is perfectly fluent in technical terms and who can convey the information in a language used by corresponding professionals. This type of translation also requires compliance with all regulations and standards applicable in the particular industry.

Translation of scientific and technical literature – performance of this serious work requires a lot of the knowledge and acquired experience  since in this case the translator has to convey not only the precise meaning of texts, but also reflect the individual style used by the authors in the original text.

Translation of technical texts requires precise use of terms without losing the general meaning. These may be translations on automotives, construction and other highly technical subjects. This type of translation has a very important feature - the translator should have good comprehension of the topic being translated for sometimes technical terms do not have relevant matches in the target language.

Localization of software and translation of interfaces includes a full range of services for adapting the elements of the interface as well as auxiliary files and documentation. This is performed by specialists with excellent scientific and technical expertise.

Translation of instructions for various devices and equipment as well as user manuals, guidelines for installation and repair of equipment requires outstanding language skills and the ability to express complicated things using simple expressions.

Translation of equipment catalogues is usually performed in close collaboration with the client for in most cases the translator must strictly follow internal glossaries and standards for translation and formatting of documentation developed by the client.

We are ready to perform urgent translations of technical literature including translations of large volumes of texts without suspending your work routine due to absence of technical manuals and documentation in the source language.

    Credit: Photo Courtesy Ajax Pool &Spa

“Jacuzzi Julie” is a bit of a local celebrity in Aspen, Colo. The co-owner of Ajax Pool & Spa, Juliet “Julie” Phelps, is known as much for her charity work as for her successful retail and pool service/repair business. (And, yes, she’s a Jacuzzi Spa dealer.)

“I don’t want to brag about it,” Phelps said of her charity work. “It’s something you do from your heart. ... I like to help vets, children, the disabled, and do things for my community.”

She assists many groups, such as Challenge Aspen, which provides recreational and cultural experiences for people with physical or cognitive disabilities, including a program for injured military personnel. “They bring legless vets to Aspen and teach them [to ski or ride snowmobiles],” Phelps said. “They’re feeling down when they arrive, and it’s life-changing. It costs $2,000 to bring one vet, so I set aside $200 from each spa I sell.” That can add up to $8,000 in annual donations.

For other nonprofits, she might donate products for fund-raising giveaways. “You don’t have to give a lot of money,” Phelps added. “Just find out how to help.”

For example, she also buys a year’s worth of radio spots to promote various local charities. When Crystal River Elementary School needed a playground, her call for volunteers to help build one did the trick.

So how did this big-hearted entrepreneur come to the pool and spa industry? As the daughter of a Minnesota pool builder, Phelps was well aware of the trade. She started selling spas in the ’70s. Later, her family moved to Florida, where she met her future husband when he began working for her dad.

In 1984, Patrick and Julie Phelps moved to Aspen, where they had honeymooned. He was hired by the local pool company; she got her real estate license. In 1993, they started Ajax Pool & Spa. Recently, they relocated to a 5,000-square-foot store in nearby Basalt.

Phelps’ altruistic nature naturally extends to customers. Folks know what to do with their homes, but have “not a clue about their backyards. I see it as a blank canvas.” And she has plenty of ideas for that canvas: Integrate the living quarters with the yard, adding an outdoor kitchen, hearth, spa. ”I’m always looking for trends,” she said. “I’ll call my new place the Backyard Design Center. We’ll have a man cave [with] a Jacuzzi 415, and a Ladies’ Spa Room. Don’t we all need that?”

Sounds as if the Aspen area is in good hands.

While there are some fantastic movies nominated ('Up in the Air,' 'A Single Man' and 'Precious' to name a few,) we all know the most exciting part of these shows is the red carpet. More specifically, the gorgeous and stylish couples that grace it. And this year, there are several fabulous pairs we simply just can't wait to see!

My Remarkable Journey by Larry King

My Remarkable Journey

Larry King

US: May 2009

Even if you don’t watch television, you probably know who Larry King is: he’s the ubiquitous guy with the suspenders and the receding hairline. And if do follow television, you probably know him as one of the most stable presences in a medium not known for its constancy: he’s been host of the interview program Larry King Live on CNN since 1985, and claims to have conducted over 40,000 interviews in a career dating back to the ‘50s.

There’s probably a fascinating book to be written about how Larry Zeiger, an apparently unremarkable kid born in Brooklyn in 1933 to Jewish immigrants from Belarus, became host of one of the most popular shows on CNN. But you won’t find that story in My Remarkable Journey, a book which by any literary or historical standard is not remarkable at all and doesn’t make King’s journey seem all that remarkable either. Instead, it’s a fairly standard celebrity biography featuring King performing his crowd-pleasing shtick, this time in print and assisted by Cal Fussman, whose name appears on the title page but not on the cover.

King’s greatest asset may have been an instinct for being in the right place at the right time. A mediocre student, he worked a variety of odd jobs after high school while hoping to find a way to get into broadcasting. Hanging around the CBS building in Manhattan, one day he accosted staff announcer James Sirmons and asked him how to break into the business. Sirmons’ advice: head for Miami, an expanding and less competitive market where “people are either on the way out or they’re on the way up”.

Hoping to join those on the way up, King got on a bus for Florida with 18 dollars in his pocket. Fortunately he had an uncle to stay with, and just as Sirmons had promised the broadcast market was wide-open. The “guy in charge” at WAHR, a small radio station, liked King’s voice enough to tell him to stick around for the next opening. When one of the morning deejays quit, King got his slot and on 1 May 1957, the voice of Larry King was first heard on America’s airwaves. It was the debut of his new name as well: advised that Zeiger was too “ethnic”, King picked his new moniker from a liquor store advertisement.

King’s next big break came when he went to work for WKAT. Charlie Bookbinder, owner of Pumpernik’s Jewish deli, offered King the chance to broadcast live for an hour each day from the restaurant. At first King interviewed anyone who was available, which at first was mostly the restaurant staff and customers. Then one day Bobby Darrin walked in, and then Jimmy Hoffa and Danny Thomas, and before long the show was a hit and King was a local celebrity. If there’s one lesson to take away from this phase of King’s career, it’s that it’s all well and good to hone your interview skills on ordinary folks, but if you want your show to become popular (and if you want to become famous) you’d better get some celebrities on the hook as well.

And onward and upward: King intersperses tales of his broadcasting career with tidbits about his personal life and anecdotes about some of the famous people he has known and worked with. But be forewarned: there’s nothing in this book which would upset the average great-grandmother. That’s sort of disappointing since you’d think a guy who has been married eight times and has one child he didn’t meet until the kid was in his 30s would have at least a little dirt to spill. But King knows his fan base and they like it clean, so clean is what you get in My Remarkable Journey.

I’m sure young people seeking media careers are pondering the basic unfairness of life by this point. One of the biggest names on television today didn’t have to fool around with college applications and unpaid internships: he got his first job because someone liked his voice and a steady stream of opportunities followed from that. But there’s an important message in his story as well: it’s good to be good, but it’s better to be lucky. King may have been born to his profession—his childhood nickname was “Zeke the Creek the Mouthpiece” because he never stopped talking—and he certainly worked hard at the opportunities which he got. But the most important factor in his career was probably the decade of his birth. I suspect it’s no coincidence that Dan Rather, Jim Lehrer, Robin McNeill, and Peter Jennings were all born within a few years of each other, so they came to maturity as television broadcasting was in its infancy and could develop their careers at the same time the new medium was expanding.

My Remarkable Journey is not a bad read if you’re a fan of King’s show, or if you enjoy a sentimental tale liberally salted with celebrity names and personal confessions which don’t reveal all that much. Just don’t expect anything particularly surprising or insightful: this autobiography is just another link of sausage extruded from the show biz factory.

Gang Gang Dance

Eye Contact

by Scott Branson

10 May 2011

Gang Gang Dance injects pop music with new life, leading the quest for newer sounds from ageless sources. Eye Contact is here to solidify the group’s heavyweight majesty.

Gang Gang Dance

Eye Contact

US: 10 May 2011
UK: 9 May 2011

Three years after the magnetic St. Dymphna, Gang Gang Dance has produced another manic and joyful album of worldbeat noises. Eye Contact plays like a dramatic cycle from morning to night: the feel of the album peaks and dips in energy in a perfect sequence to sustain energy and attention. Though it pushes more towards traditional song structure than Gang Gang has done in the past, the group does not give up its expert taste for noise, squeaks, pops, and maxed out bass. Overall, the new album is a thick slab of synth-ridden melody that may be poppier but no less inspiring.

This is Gang Gang’s first album for 4AD, which has recently ushered other bands, like Ariel Pink, Iron & Wine, and tUnE-yArDs, into bigger more fully formed sounds. The common trajectory from lo to hi-fi sometimes loses fans who call themselves purists. No matter what, to put Eye Contact in a similar trajectory of Gang Gang Dance’s waltz into maturity sells it short with a worn narrative. The three albums, starting with God’s Money and ending with Eye Contact are a solid trilogy that are really of a piece. If anything, Eye Contact is the crowning achievement in its consistency and unrelenting thickness. Thick is really the most apt word to describe the sound on this album. Gang Gang Dance has always been a group of eclectic and sophisticated sound connoisseurs, a record collector’s band whose jubilance can appeal likewise to the novice. Here they weave together sounds into a seamless patchwork, rich in layers and excitement.

As the members’ hosting of the 88 Boadrum concert in Brooklyn around the time of the last album attests, Gang Gang Dance is a band that celebrates rhythm. Eye Contact finds the band breaking in a new drummer for the recording, Jesse Lee, after Tim DeWitt left the band. Since the new album is more song-oriented, we also see vocalist Lizzi Bougatsos take a more central role. Her vocal parts come closer to melodies you can sing along with, front and center in the mix, like on the second single, “MindKilla”. But really the band’s strength remains the masterful weaving of the vocal parts into the thickly layered slab of synths, bass, and percussion, so that everything coheres. Instrumentally, the album is synth-heavy; there are less obvious guitar parts than on St. Dymphna, which had nice reggae influenced guitar interludes. Here the guitar is more heavily processed. Where the last album saw Gang Gang playing more with hip-hop and electronic-influenced styles, now they tilt strongly towards world music for inspiration.

The sequencing of the album is seamless, a major strength of the group on St. Dymphna as well. Three transitional tracks, marked with infinity signs, suture the four major phases of the album: the album warms up slowly on the 11-minute opener and epic first single, “Glass Jar”, but quickly unleashes a frantic onslaught for a straight four songs of Eastern/Caribbean inflected rhythms before bringing it down with some reflective R&B and dreamy pop and finally closing out with a stomping percussive track.

“Glass Jar” perfectly stokes anticipation with swirling synths and rippling cymbals so that when the rhythm comes in and Bougatsos starts singing, despite the steadiness, it is incredibly climactic. The long build and soaring culmination produce a light-headedness that is the welcome dominant feeling of the rest of the album. An interlude of yoga chanting leads us into “Adult Goth”, which has a staccato guitar riff and Bollywood percussion. Bougatsos’s voice is in the upper register, almost nasal, and climbs into the forefront of the track—she even toasts over the bridge. There is more room between the high and low end, so that the drums and bass reverberate out in rings under the melodies. Next, “Chinese High” picks up on the island feel, with a steel drum driven melody. The highlight of this track is the low and dirty bass drum that pulses throughout the song to give it a grinding feel.

The second single, the Dune referencing “MindKilla” combines jagged synths coming in at all ends with droning bass and a reggaeton beat for a dark feel. Still, “MindKilla” is as catchy as Gang Gang Dance gets and seems the obvious single for the album. Though it sticks out melodically, it is not the album’s highlight. Placed in the middle of the album, “MindKilla” actually brings down the hectic rush of songs into the more chilled out middle swath of songs. “Romance Layers”, a duet with Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, is the dark horse of the album. It’s an almost note perfect sendup of ‘80s synth slow jams, but without a central vocal part. Think Prince but not nearly as monumental. What could be a dated sound in the synths is actually reinvigorated. The track works so well because it provides needed respite after the crazy rush of sensory overload.

The weakest song on the album is “Sacer”. Though Bougatsos has taken on a seemingly more concentrated role throughout the album, this song could be seen as a showcase of her vocals. But this is where I find her style going too far into the childlike squeaks of Björk-land. Luckily, however, “Thru and Thru” returns the album to its brilliance with a stomping track of Bollywood style percussion. This is the late night song that rises and falls like a second wind. It’s epically dramatic and complex, a fine way to close out.

Eye Contact is obviously a risky strategy in its attempt to encompass everything. The album opens with the words, “I can hear everything. It’s everything time” and goes out with a strange, warped injunction, “Live forever.” But Gang Gang Dance pulls off the gamble with a huge payoff. The group is a long-awaited fulfillment of the promise of early postpunk worldbeat like the Slits (in fact Bougatsos could be heir to Ari Up). Gang Gang updates and rounds out this sound to make it eminently pertinent and exciting. Eye Contact solidifies the group’s heavyweight majesty. Gang Gang Dance injects pop music with new life, leading the quest for newer sounds from ageless sources and mixing it all together in a critically irresistible way.

Marmalade Souls

In Stereo

by Alan Brown

5 November 2007

There is no escaping it. From the borrowed arrangements, which figure significantly throughout, to the special thank you to John, Paul, George and Ringo on the sleeve of their full-length debut, the Swedish-based trio Marmalade Souls (formerly known as Marmalade Skies, get it) are inspired Beatles enthusiasts. Similiar in style to the early sounds of groups like the Byrds, or the sadly forgotten Kansas quartet the Blue Things, husband-and-wife songwriting team, Michael (vocals/guitar) and Johanna Klemmé (vocals/harmonica), along with Irish expat Paddy Lawless on drums, have, for the most part, funnelled the “Fab Four’s” Merseybeat through a swirling folk-rock jangle together with close harmonies that, although never shying away from its inspirations, miracously never sounds dated either. With love as the overarching theme, however, it occasionally gets a little too flowery lyrically but when surrounded by melodious pop tunes as good as opener “It Won’t Be Too Long”, the incandescent “Fall Into the Sky” and the sublime, stripped-down ballad “Good Days”, you really don’t care that much.

Fashion Week Live in SF And Fab Was There!

As you all know I attended Fashion Week Live last night. It was a blast! While the runway show was the main thrill, the pre-party and goodie bag were added bonuses. I am waiting for more pictures from the event but wanted to share some highlights with you. Also, a big thank you to Sephora for my golden ticket!

Some highlights were:

  • Two of the gorgeous peeps in this picture! Naomi was graceful, yet powerful, on the catwalk and Tyson, well, just look at him. These two were the crowd favorites too, with welcoming claps from the audience.
  • The show lasted about an hour, and was divided by themes. My favorite theme was evening! The most stunning gowns were by Zac Posen and Donna Karan.
  • My favorite daytime looks were by local designer Peter Som; my lip reading skills picked up Vanessa Getty whispering "I like that" to a friend about a gray ruffle asymmetrical dress by him. Also, notable, were the Marc Jacobs pieces that were surprisingly more sultry in the flesh!
  • Stay tuned for hopefully more photos from the event!

You Asked: Did My Boyfriend Cheat?

Dear Sugar,

I went to the doctor today to find out why I was experiencing a painful breakout on my nether regions, and it turns out I have herpes. I have been with only one man for the last two years, and he is the only man I have ever had intercourse with.

I had a serious talk with him today, and he told me that before we started dating, he got tested for every STI, and they all came back negative. I'm so confused because from what I have read online, the initial outbreak usually happens within two to four weeks of contraction, but we have been together for more than two years! Did he cheat? Has this infection laid dormant in him for years? I am scared and confused. Any advice would be a great comfort to me right now. — Taken Aback Abbie

To see DearSugar's answer,

Dear Taken Aback Abbie,

You are right, the first outbreak of genital herpes usually happens within two weeks after it's contracted, so I'm a little wary of your boyfriend's honesty. It is possible for someone not to know he has the infection — sores can often be present in places where they can't easily be seen — but if he was tested two years ago and got a negative result, it's pretty obvious that he's contracted this STI since then; in other words, he most likely did cheat on you.

Unfortunately, what's done is done, and I'm terribly sorry that you've been put in this situation, but now you have to decide how to proceed. Obviously you need to have another serious talk with your boyfriend, but I also suggest you get tested for other STIs and talk to you doctor about medication and treatment options for the herpes you do have.

I know that you're scared right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if you start to experience feelings of betrayal and sadness too, so turn to your loved ones for support. Good luck to you.

Would You Turn an Ordinary Crate Into a Luxury Cabana?

Who says Labor Day marks the figurative end of Summer?! Certainly not me, as I'm trying to squeeze in a few more weekends of fun in the sun with my pooch, who is a big fan of bringing the outdoors in (on his paws and coat). This crate cover turns my ordinary living room into cabana central.

With two contrasting panels, the crate cover ($95) even comes with the rollup door often spotted beachside — and North needs to nap in peace . . . on the matching pillow bed ($115), of course. Are you craving this style or will you stick to creating blanket tents in your household?

Report Card: 6 Months Without a Chop Saw

When I reorganized my shop last Spring, I sold a lot of stuff. I sold so much stuff that I was afraid that I was cutting into the bone.

I sold my routers. My router table. My sliding compound miter saw. And lots more (a biscuit joiner, sanders and shop vacuums to name a few).

Of all the tools I sold, I thought I would miss the chop saw the most. This particular saw saved my bacon when I needed to process 160 linear feet of 2x8s for a sawbench or several hundred linear feet of 2x12s for a workbench class.

But here I am six months without a chop saw, and I don’t miss it a bit. Honestly. For knocking down rough stock I’ve been using my 8-point crosscut handsaw and two sawbenches. As a result of switching to the handsaw, I’ve greatly increased my endurance when handsawing – not to mention my accuracy.

After six months of sawing – and I have been sawing a lot – I am a much smoother sawyer. My sawblade never makes that awful “bwrang!” sound when you are misaligned in the kerf. I thought I would hate processing the harder woods, such as maple, but they really don’t give me any trouble.

A sharp saw fixes everything.

For miters and precision crosscuts, I’ve come to rely on my Millers Falls miter box. It’s noticeably more accurate than an electric chop saw when cutting miters. And it saws stock to length with exactly the same accuracy.

Yes, it is slower, but there are advantages to the slower pace.

For one thing, I’m less likely to make a mistake. When cutting out all the stock today for an 18th-century-style table I made a small mistake in calculating the length of one apron. But because everything was happening in comparative slow motion on my sawbench, I had time to adjust my plan because I was actively thinking during each cut.

It’s like the difference between a hayride and a roller coaster. During a roller coaster ride all I can think about is hanging on so I don’t die (I do enjoy it, truth be told). When I’m on a hayride I can watch the moon rise, hear the crickets and feel a fall breeze.

As I was sweeping up my shop today I noticed how my cabinet saw was starting to become a dedicated sharpening station. Most of my long rips are made on a band saw; the table saw hasn’t seen much action this year.

Could it be next?

    This seems all well and good, but I feel like I must speak out as the lone woodworker who also has to do home repairs. For example, this weekend I’m busy taking down some rotted wooden gutters on my Victorian home and replacing fascia boards. I am definitely using my chop saw to cut all the trimwork/boards for this project and need to keep it. I don’t mind using a hand saw, but for house projects like this, I’m just trying to get it done — and not make fine furniture.

    So my hats off to all of you woodworkers who can manage to just do the woodworking but avoid getting involved in all the house projects around the home!

    1. Clay Dowling

      I actually prefer to cut trim with my hand-powered miter saw, rather than my chop saw. I did it for my bathroom, and I’ll do it again for my kitchen. They’re both full of lots of funky angles and short pieces, making the muscle powered solution a faster and easier choice for me.

    2. cbf123

      Not the lone one. It’s hard to rip sheets of MDF with hand tools or on a bandsaw, and I wouldn’t want to profile all the baseboards in my house with a molding plane.
