Italian Voters Rival Americans For Political Stupidity

Discussion in 'Politics' started by pspr, Feb 26, 2013.

  1. pspr

    Silvio Berlusconi, the three-time Italian prime minister, billionaire playboy and perpetual criminal defendant who was all but counted out of Italian political life when a debt crisis forced his resignation in 2011, shocked the country Monday by shooting back into a position of influence.

    Even by the chaotic standards of Italian politics, the resurgence of Berlusconiâs People of Liberty party, which seems to be in contention to win the most seats in the Italian Senate, along with the astonishingly strong showing of a naysaying protest party led by Beppe
    Grillo, a seething ex-comedian opposed to the euro, has cast the Italian government into confusion.

    Tsing Tao

    Actually, Italian voters far outstrip American voters in terms of intelligence. When they voted for Berlusconi and Grillo's parties, they did so not because of the social inept behavior of said individuals, but because those two offered the ONLY choices of throwing out the EU politicians and Banking Cartel that has sought to enslave them and their country to the whims of Brussels and German Politicians.

    They, like Iceland before them, gave the middle finger to the cartel and said "no thanks, we'll go at it on our own." And like Iceland before them, if they can pull it off and get out of the EU alive, they will return to economic stability and growth.
  3. LEAPup

    I'm not embarrassed to have Italian blood.

    I sure as hell wouldn't want to be living in Italy, however.:(

    I have an idea why my Grand Father came here after seeing for myself what a mess has become of HIS Country.
  4. Sadly, your grand kids will be saying the same thing...just substitute America for Italy.

    All compliments of political correctness, affirmative action, and unions bankrupting the country.
  5. pspr

    It's too bad there isn't a NEW America somewhere in the World. I think we are going to have to take back this one. There will probably never be another country on this planet like the first 200 years of the USA.

    This country was blessed with a lot of men who put God, word and honor above all else. Not very many anymore.
  6. You killed millions of Indians dude :D
  7. I agree. I give the Italian voters a lot of credit. Basically they are saying they aren't going to take orders from the fucking germans and french. Of course, there will be consequences, but are they really worse than basically forfeiting your country's sovereignty?

    A few years from now when we're in this same situation, will we be kowtowing to the chinese or will we have enough testosterone to tell them to fuck off?
  8. pspr

    Although I see a problem with any votes for Berlusconi, this seems to be the consenses thought of the election and a desire to scrap austerity and the Euro kings.

    Italians voted against all kinds of stuff â corruption, lack of transparency, inefficient bureaucracy â and it would be a mistake to lump the anti-austerity forces together into some generic protest vote. But if you sit in Brussels or Berlin and wanted to see a pro-reform, pro-fiscal discipline government, you have just been dealt two major blows.

    First, almost 60 per cent of Italians voted for parties that explicitly oppose austerity, whether EU-mandated or otherwise.

    Second, the Five-Star Movement led by Grillo received over 25 per cent of the vote, thanks to innovative, social media campaigning (including recruiting candidates via an online survey). Grillo has been critical of the euro, and called for a referendum on whether Italy should leave the single currency and default on some of its debt. This is the opposite of what Brussels wants.

    Meanwhile Monti, the outgoing Prime Minister who led a technocratic, pro-Brussels government over the past year or so, got just over 10 per cent of votes. Grilloâs party will hold roughly twice as many seats in the lower house. Or, put differently: a Yale-educated former European commissioner and adviser to Goldman Sachs was hammered at the polls by a former comedian. This is a major wake-up call for establishment politics in Italy and elsewhere. But the results are also a major blow for the Brussels cash-for-austerity consensus.
  9. In US terms, this would be like the last presidential election featured as candidates Obama, George W. Bush and Roseanne Barr. And Obama ended up with 10 % of the vote.

    You can understand why the Big Thinkers in europe are upset, but you can also understand how pissed the voters were. How exactly are they so much worse off if they ditch the euro, default on their debt and start over? Russia basically did the same thing in the 1990's. All of latin america did it in the 80's.

Biotech Lung Cancer Investing

Success with Lung Cancer Drug

Written by Jon Carter
Posted September 10, 2013 at 6:50PM

You may know someone who has passed away from lung cancer or is battling the disease. If you do, you know how devastating it can be for that person – not to mention the pain that friends and family go through in seeing their loved ones struggling with this deadly disease.

biotech labLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women, according to the American Cancer Society. In 2013, approximately 228,190 new cases of lung cancer will develop, and there could be 159,480 deaths this year. Lung cancer accounts for 27 percent of cancer related deaths – more than colon, breast, and prostate cancer in one.

No one is on track to curing cancer, but there is a strong market effort to at least minimize and reduce cancer cells.

In previous articles, I touched upon the FDA’s drive to approve new drugs on the market that will improve the quality of life of patients suffering from debilitating diseases.

Canadian biotech firm Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) announced successful results in its U.S. clinic trial regarding squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. This new drug is called Reolysin, and it is used in conjunction with carboplatin and paclitaxel.

The primary goal of the study is to assess patient response to the drug, assessing a patient’s progress as he or she survives the cancer and the drug the therapy.

The study found that with a combination of these drugs, there was a 92 percent shrinkage rate in tumor sizes among 25 patients tested over the course of several cycles.

The tumors themselves were reduced by 32.7 percent.

Needless to say, investors and the market were excited by this finding. Oncolytics stock shot up 20 percentage points, with an overall 8.6 percentage progression in the last few months.

The types of patients treated were suffering from metastatic stage III, IV, or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs.

All pertinent data regarding the experiment is expected to be released later in 2013. The drug has not been approved, but with the FDA initiative to get this type of drug approved faster, there should be little problem.

So where does Oncolytics go from here?

I only see this company’s market prowess going up in the future, which could make it susceptible to buyouts by Big Pharma.

In previous articles, I've talked about Big Pharma’s desire to purchase smaller companies that are on the edge of major medical and treatment breakthroughs to stay relevant in the biotech field. What these big firms are looking for are partners and exclusive rights to cutting edge drugs and therapies like Reolysin.

This latest move will no doubt make Oncolytics a prime acquisition target, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Many of these smaller companies are doing quite well on their own, and larger medical firms are becoming more competitive in offering quality buyout deals to these firms.

Drug Competition

This is not only great news for Oncolytics but the medical field as a whole. But we always must remember the biotech field is steeped in heavy competition, and there is a rush to introduce new drugs like Reolysin to the market.

Oncolytics could be side-swiped by a competing firm, but the good news is that many trials and tests within lung cancer research have targeted different aspects of the disease. Because firms are trying to attract attention and funding, this has spawned some creativity in their research methods – approaching diseases like cancer and heart disease from different angles.

Early this year, SignPath Pharma Inc. introduced a new technique that involves using curcumin, a component of turmeric, to reduce and subside cancer cells. The curcumin has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties that will interfere with cell death and division.

The curcumin works in unison with nanoparticles and liposomes as a therapeutic method.

Another promising drug called necitumumab by Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE: LLY) has undergone a fair number of setbacks, but it will work chemotherapy in increasing a patient’s survival of lung cancer. This type of drug targets squamous non-small lung cancer (NSCLC), but has not been approved by the FDA. Projected annual sales revenue is expected to be $1 billion.

Biotech Bet

If you're wondering if this is a good investment, the answer is a most definite yes. Few drugs on the market have been so successful in reducing the size of tumors.

The fastest-emerging therapies are for deadly diseases such as cancer and blood disorders such as leukemia or sickle cell anemia. Lung cancer therapy certainly ranks high as one of the most desired forms medicines on the market. It not only excites investors and can translate into multi-billion dollar sales, but it will catch the eye of big companies looking to gain patents and to add new drugs to their portfolios.

Keep Oncolytics on your radar for buyouts.

Am I really good enough to be an engineer?
Hi there, I really like this website, love the idea! I'm writing actually to get some advice, as I'm starting to feel frustrated and depressed about this issue. You see, I'm an engineering student who's in her last year. I used to be in the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Department, but then I transferred to another university and I'm majoring in Telecommunications Engineering since Electronics Engineering was not offered then. Anyway, to make the long story short, I've been having a lot of difficulties with computer science subjects.. I passed a lot of them and understood at least 60% of them, but some are so difficult for me and they don't seem to sink in! I have taken C programming before and I'm 90% good at it. However, when it comes to Java language programming this semester, I feel very lost. The lecturer is going too fast and I can't follow at all, and he keeps on saying that I can't be a good engineer if my java programming skills are bad.. I just want to know if that's true? I love maths and I'm fairly good at physics, I'm 75% good at electronics and other engineering subjects which I find quite interesting, but these days I'm having second thoughts that maybe I made the wrong choice and I don't belong to engineering, as I'm not so creative and like those students who can invent different things in their spare time.. I love engineering, but at times I doubt if I'm good enough to be an engineer..I'm doing well so far and my GPA has never been less than 3.00, and I want to take up further studies and major in Biomedical Engineering. but I'm so worried that I might not be able to cope since my programming skills are OK and I still get a bit confused when it comes to mechanics. I am hardworking and I never rely on lectures only, I try read from other books and watch video tutorials when I don't understand something, but I still feel it's not good enough. What do I have to do to be a good engineer? Thank you so much in advance.

    Congratulations for being in your last year and for working so hard.  The world needs more engineers like you.  I imagine it is very difficult to change schools and majors during your studies.
    You mention that your lecturer "keeps on saying that I can't be a good engineer if my java programming skills are bad."  Well, I am an Associate Professor in an Electrical and Electronic Engineering department.  My research specialization is telecommunications, specifically the physical layer.  I think I am a successful engineer.  Now here comes the shocker ... I don't know Java :-)  I use C/C++ and MATLAB.  The tools you need will depend on the job you do. I believe the secret to job success is understanding what you are good at and then finding a job that needs those skills. So, I recommend finding out a little bit more about what skills are most useful for the biomedical engineering area that interests you.  Most importantly, please continue to work hard and get good grades.
    You mention creativity.  There are all sorts of engineering job.  Some require a high level of originality and creativity, but many do not.  Once again, it is about finding your niche.  It is very common to not know exactly what you want to do in your final year.  Is there a local lecturer who is supportive and could give you some information on where past graduates have ended up working and what they do?
    All the best,
    Philippa Martin.

Themes and Meanings

The several mentions of subterranean buildings (including the chapel) at the Aerodrome are memorable: Nothing that it represents is open, forthright; its activities and goals are shrouded and are not open to inspection. By contrast, everything in the Village—its people, their daily activities, and their transgressions; its buildings, its institutions, its contrasts of wealth and power and poverty and impotence—is open for all to see. The faceless efficiency of the one is the antithesis of the other. At the conclusion of the novel, the Village continues, though the future of the Aerodrome, identified as it is with the will to power of a single person, is uncertain at best.

The Aerodrome, in effect, shows two states of mind that have existed for ages in the modern world: the dissatisfaction and disappointment of people with the ineffectiveness of democracy, bureaucracy, and liberalism on one hand, and the growing enthusiasm for efficiency, organization, and results— however ruthlessly attained—on the other. Moreover, it suggests that individuals are divided into two warring groups: those who are sensual, vegetative, and bound to the body and the slow processes of time, and those who are motivated by the will to power and impatience with tradition and the slow processes of time. One group may be seen as the feminine element, the other as the masculine. The Village represents tradition, the Aerodrome represents change and modernity, and each of these has even wider symbolic significance.

The epigraph to the novel, an extract from the seventeenth century metaphysical poet George Herbert, provides a succinct guide to the theme:

But there are two vast, spacious things,The which to measure it doth more behove:Yet few there are that found them; Sinne and Love.

It is the interrelatedness of these great forces that Warner has explored within the context of an allegorical novel set in the recent past and that is as pertinent as if it were immediately contemporary.

IDAHOT Statement: LGBTIQ Youth Continue to be Disenfranchised

May 17th has become a day to raise awareness of violations against the rights of LGBTIQ people. It was on this day in 1990 that the the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses as part of the International Classification of Diseases. While much has progressed since that day, LGBTIQ people, and often LGBTIQ youth in particular, continue to face a disproportionate burden of discrimination and violence. Because of society's heteronormative and cisgender expectations, LGBTIQ youth experience abuse at home, discrimination in educational settings, including verbal and physical bullying, and due to regressive laws, like the anti-propaganda law in Russia preventing anyone from speaking about LGBTIQ issues, often lack access to lifesaving information.

Family rejection and violence continues to be a fundamental issue for young LGBTIQ people across the world. OutRight reports have noted the high number of experiences of violence against LGBTIQ people at the hands of their own family members. All too often, an LGBTIQ person's first experience of abuse happens at home. In community cultures the need to protect family reputation and "save face" causes many individuals never to report violence at the hands of family members. Sadly, even when they do they are met with a legal system that does not recognize family fueled domestic violence or with authorities who side with parents and claim it is an understandable parental response to their children being LGBTIQ. OutRight is currently working to change domestic violence laws across the world as well as to sensitize first responders on the issue of family and domestic violence against LGBTIQ youth and adults.

In the Philippines, our work on training local gender and development officers is making a difference. One officer told OutRight's Asia Project Coordinator that she was helping a young trans girl who had been beaten by her father as he did not accept that she is transgender. The officer met the trans girl in the street with bruises and welts all over her body. The officer said that thanks to the training, she felt equipped to deal with the situation in a way that she wouldn't have before. She said the stereotyping and bias that she had been socialized into had been replaced by understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity. The officer has since issued a district protection order against the father and the girl is now living with her grandparents who are accepting of her gender identity.

For so many LGBTIQ youth simply going to school is a challenge. Bullying, harassment, and verbal and physical assault, are all too common among LGBTIQ youth who because of such experiences face higher than average levels of anxiety, depression, and even suicide. This can lead to missing classes and school drop out, having long-term impact on the individual's ability to access employment and even on national economic growth. Experiences in school are especially difficult for trans and gender non-conforming youth who face distinct hardships like the need to wear uniforms congruent to their birth sex and not being able to access bathrooms and facilities that match their gender identity. All of this has fundamental impacts on the health, safety, and wellbeing of LGBTIQ youth.

It is not just families and schools that harm LGBTIQ youth, but also punitive policies like anti-LGBT propaganda laws which target and restrict the sharing of vital information about LGBTIQ issues. These discriminatory laws not only create a climate of fear for LGBTIQ youth to express themselves and their identities, but prevent them from having access to health and sexuality information often necessary for their wellbeing.

Youth all around the world suffer violations of their human rights because of homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia. On this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT), it is important to recognize that it is impossible to move towards a world of equality and dignity if we do not place specific attention to the needs of LGBTIQ youth. We must combat the systemic and social discrimination that marginalizes and disenfranchises LGBTIQ youth and bars them from living the lives they not only deserve, but have a right to.

In honor of this year's IDAHOT, OutRight, as part of the United Nations LGBT Core Group in New York will be hosting an event titled, "Standing up for LGBT Youth." The aim of the event is to raise awareness of bullying and exclusion of LGBT youth, amplify the voices of those affected, and celebrate the resilience, promise and diversity of young LGBT people around the world. On IDAHOT, and every day, OutRight is committed to take positive initiatives in all regions of the world to create safer, more supportive, environments for LGBTIQ young people.

I would like to invite you, from wherever you are in the world, to join us at the event by livestreaming it. You can access the live stream here, and the event will begin at 18:15 Eastern Time.

Paradise Vacation

You’ve waited all year to get away from it all and relieve some stress.

Lil Wayne's young money lifestyle is starting to catch up with him.

Police conducted a raid on the rapper's Miami Beach mansion Tuesday night where pieces from Weezy's $30 million art collection were seized.

President Obama sat down with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to discuss the potential gun laws.

Jordan Davis' Mom Calls Gun Violence A 'National Crisis'

That two had a formal meeting Wednesday morning, CNN reports, to talk plans to execute an executive order to tighten the access Americans have to guns including a plan to assist states and local authorities in addressing gun violence.

During his time in the Mayoral office, Bloomberg was a vocal advocate for tighter gun laws being very adamant about his disdain for the National Rifle Association and lobbied for tighter gun laws.

The meeting, which took place in the White House along with President Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, hopes to continue to solidify the President's plan to close the "gun show loophole" and to "keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have access to them."

Public Release:

Clemson engineers to create model underground energy-storage facility

Clemson University

CLEMSON, S.C. -- With a new twist on an old idea, two Clemson University environmental engineers are developing ways to store "waste" energy underground to cut heating and cooling costs and reduce carbon emissions.

Ron Falta and Fred Molz have received a $991,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to create a Subsurface Thermal Energy Storage (STES) system that can be used as a model for energy efficiency.

Five military bases are being considered for the pilot project, among them the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island and the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, as well as locations in California and Rhode Island.

"This technology has the potential to greatly reduce energy costs and greatly reduce carbon emissions," said Falta, a professor in Clemson's environmental engineering and Earth sciences department. "At the same time, it allows for the integration of renewable energy into the infrastructure of the base, and it provides a clear path for reducing base carbon emissions and carbon footprint."

Using the natural insulating properties of underground sediments to store hot and cold material is an old engineering concept. The new twist is using a conventional heat pump to move heat between buildings and the subsurface: moving heat from the ground to the building in the winter, then heat from the building to the ground in the summer.

The Subsurface Thermal Energy Storage system differs from conventional geothermal heat pump designs in that it takes advantage of waste energy -- such as heat produced in power production or low-cost solar heat collectors -- to create an artificially hot zone beneath the surface. It then takes advantage of natural winter chill to create an artificially cold subsurface zone.

By using the hot water source in the winter and the cold water source in the summer, the geothermal heat-pump system can achieve higher heating and cooling efficiency than a conventional system.

"STES is a technology where low-cost or waste energy, heat or cold, is harvested when it is produced or when it is available, stored in the subsurface using borehole heat exchangers or water wells, and then used when the heat or cold is expensive or difficult to obtain," said Molz, an emeritus professor in the department. "This method of heating and cooling is far more efficient than conventional HVAC systems, and it could be 15 percent to 30 percent more efficient than current geothermal heat pump systems."

That could be a boon to the Department of Defense, which the engineers said spends about $3.5 billion a year at its bases on energy, much of which goes to heat and cool buildings.

"This technology could be widely applicable to buildings at Defense Department and other government facilities, particularly those in the northern two-thirds of the United States," Falta said. "We believe this technology could be applied at all scales, ranging from a single-family home up to a large manufacturing building."

Geothermal heat-pump projects are gaining popularity in energy-conscious Europe, North America and Japan. The Clemson engineers point to statistics that show the number of such heating and cooling systems has been growing at a rate of about 10 percent a year for the past decade.

The focal point of this four-year research project, sponsored by the Defense Department's Environmental Security and Testing Program, will be an existing building of roughly 20,000 square feet. The engineers will retrofit an existing building's heating and cooling system rather than creating one from scratch to prove that the project can be used in a wide variety of settings.

They will measure temperatures and energy use before and after the Subsurface Thermal Energy Storage installation and fine-tune the process over time.

"If the project, compared to the best current ground-coupled heat-pump technology, achieves a minimum of a 15 percent energy savings, a 10-year payback and a carbon footprint reduction of 15 percent, we will declare it an unqualified technical success," Molz said.

This project is supported by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program under Department of Defense award W912HQ-10-C-0027. Opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this article are those of the researchers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Defense.

Public Release:

Appetite hormones may predict weight regain after dieting

Study results may point way to effective weight-loss maintenance

The Endocrine Society

Chevy Chase, MD--Many people have experienced the frustration that comes with regaining weight that was lost from dieting. According to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), the levels of appetite hormones in the body prior to dieting may serve as a predictor of weight regain after dieting.

"Treating obesity with drugs or dietary programs can be very effective in the short-term, but the long-term success of maintaining the weight lost is usually poor," said Ana Crujeiras, PhD, of Compejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago in Spain and lead author of the study. "Our study sheds light on how the appetite hormones leptin and ghrelin affect weight regain after weight loss. This knowledge could be used as a tool to personalize weight-loss programs that could guarantee success in keeping off the weight."

In this study, researchers evaluated a group of 104 obese or overweight men and women during an 8-week low-calorie diet and again 32 weeks after treatment. Researchers measured body weight as well as plasma fasting ghrelin, leptin and insulin concentrations before, during and after dieting. They found that subjects with higher plasma leptin and lower ghrelin levels before dieting were more prone to regain weight lost after dieting and that these hormone levels could be proposed as biomarkers for predicting obesity-treatment outcomes.

"We believe this research is of foremost relevance in clinical terms as it may indicate that the outcome of weight therapy may be pre-conditioned," said Crujeiras. "Furthermore, our findings may provide endocrinology and nutrition professionals a tool to identify individuals in need of specialized weight-loss programs that first target appetite hormone levels before beginning conventional dietary treatment."

Other researchers working on the study include: Estíbaliz Goyenechea, Itziar Abete and J. Alfredo Martínez of the University of Navarra in Spain; and Mary Lage, Marcos Carreira and Felipe Casanueva of Compejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago in Spain. Both research groups belong to the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de la Fisiopatología de la Obesidad y Nutrición (CIBERobn), an Instituto de Salud Carlos III iniciative.

The article, "Weight regain after a diet-induced loss is predicted by higher baseline leptin and lower ghrelin plasma levels," will appear in the November 2010 issue of JCEM.

Founded in 1916, The Endocrine Society is the world's oldest, largest and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology. Today, The Endocrine Society's membership consists of over 14,000 scientists, physicians, educators, nurses and students in more than 100 countries. Society members represent all basic, applied and clinical interests in endocrinology. The Endocrine Society is based in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Public Release:

New models yield clearer picture of emissions' true costs

Costs of fossil fuels sharply rise when health, environment factored in

Duke University

DURHAM, N.C. - When its environmental and human health toll is factored in, a gallon of gasoline costs us about $3.80 more than the pump price, a new Duke University study finds.

The social cost of a gallon of diesel is about $4.80 more than the pump price; the price of natural gas more than doubles; and coal-fired electricity more than quadruples. Solar and wind power, on the other hand, become cheaper than they initially seem.

"We think we know what the prices of fossil fuels are, but their impacts on climate and human health are much larger than previously realized," said Drew T. Shindell, professor of climate sciences at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment. "We're making decisions based on misleading costs."

Shindell said his study, published on Feb. 26 in the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change, provides policymakers with a more accurate framework for estimating the costs of a broad range of health, climate and environmental damages linked to emissions from fossil fuels, industry, biomass burning and agriculture.

Current markets don't place a price on most atmospheric emissions, so polluters typically pay none of these costs, he noted. Instead, society picks up the tab through increased risks of premature death or illness caused by air pollution, higher healthcare costs, lower crop yields, missed work and school days, increased insurance damages from floods and other extreme weather events linked to climate change, and other social costs.

"Putting values on many of these social costs can be challenging because there are so many factors in play," Shindell said.

The comparative framework devised by Shindell to calculate these costs is built upon a widely used methodology introduced in 2010 to help the U.S. government determine the social costs of carbon.

Shindell's models extend the scope of those calculations to cover a much wider array of pollutants and impacts, including damages from potent but short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as methane and aerosols, as well as longer-lived greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxides. The new models incorporate the most current data available to give policymakers accurate estimates of monetized damages.

"Looking at electricity, for example, the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates generation costs per kilowatt hour of power to be about 10 cents for coal, 7 cents for natural gas, 13 cents for solar and 8 for wind," Shindell said.

"Not surprisingly, the U.S. has seen a surge in the use of natural gas, the apparent cheapest option. However, when you add in environmental and health damages, costs rise to 17 cents per kilowatt hour for natural gas and a whopping 42 cents for coal."

The true cost of gasoline is another example. If social costs of around $3.80 a gallon are added in, damages from a typical mid-range gasoline-powered vehicle total nearly $2,000 a year. In comparison, annual damages associated with an electric vehicle are around $1,000 if the power comes exclusively from coal, about $300 if the power is generated using natural gas, and minimal if the electricity is from renewable sources.

Because of the inherent complexity of establishing universal values for health and environment damages, Shindell doesn't view his newly published estimates as the last word in determining emissions' social costs.

"There is room for ongoing discussion about what the value of atmospheric emissions should be," he said. "But one thing there should be no debate over is that the current assigned price of zero is not the right value."

Shindell developed his models with no funding from external sources.

Extreme Learning at the Institute for the Future

Not long ago, I participated in a workshop at the Institute for the Future on what they are calling Extreme Learning. They have just launched a site to provide resources for alternative learning paths and to share stories of extreme learners (like mine in the video above). On the extreme learners site, there are more stories from the workshop participants, who were a fascinating group from diverse backgrounds. This project is a part of the Future of Learning program.

3 thoughts on “Extreme Learning at the Institute for the Future

    1. Yes, many of us are self-taught. But many others can’t see outside of the traditional framework of institutionalized education. I think this is a way of raising awareness of other paths to learning, especially now that so much subject material is easily accessible outside of the traditional institutions.

Turning off InfoWindow scrollbar in CSS

Posted on 2008-06-10
Medium Priority
Last Modified: 2011-10-19

I'm trying to turn off the default (right-hand side) scrollbar for the infowindow, which i'm told is  usually configured within CSS. My CSS only has the following reference to the InfoWindow:

#infowindow {
        min-height: 100%;
        color: #2E2E2E;

    .iwstyle {font-size:10pt;}

So what is it that i'm missing?

Please note that i have added a custom scrollbar for a div that i have placed within the InfoWindow, and this i wish to preserve.

Many thanks

From what you've said, i thought perhaps

overflow: hidden;

..might work but it didn't. Please see the attached screenshot - i'm trying to remove the scrollbar on the right.

hmm well the one on the right is appearing because you have too much text on the left text area.

if you set the height of the inner div to be smaller than that outer div then it will disappear.

i dont know what the ID is for the outer container but say it was called - outerDiv then set its height to something specific say 300px with overflow hidden; then the inner div just needs a fixed height which is smaller so maybe 280px; the inner div will scroll and the outer div scrollbar shouldnt be needed.

Kids Craft Too! Oly*Fun Simple Sailboat Craft

 Oly Fun simple Sailboat as final step - Keri Lee SereikaOne of the most exciting things I get to do is instill in my children the love of crafting. My second son, Coleton LOVES to build things. His latest kick has been using wooden craft sticks to build simple sailboats. His first attempt he used a dinner napkin for the material on his sail….well needless to say one drop of water and that sail was ruined. Then it hit me – Oly*Fun!!! Oly*Fun’s water resistant properties are the PERFECT FINISHING TOUCH for Coleton’s awesome sailboat crafts! And because Oly*Fun comes in so many fun colors he even got a bit creative and made a decorative sail for this boat. We took photos all along the way so that he could teach other kids his age how to create one of these simple sailboats themselves.

09 Install Oly Fun Sail as final step - Keri Lee Sereika

01 The Artist and Supplies Needed - Keri Lee Sereika

1. First off gather your supplies for the simple sailboat craft:

02 Begin by assembling the bottom of the boat - Keri Lee Sereika

Begin by assembling the shape of the boat. Coleton refers to these as “the bones” of the boat. Use hot melt glue to secure the sticks together.
03 Assemble a Mast - Keri Lee Sereika popsicle stick crafts

Once the design of the boat is complete on the bottom edge, build up the edges, then create a mast to hold your sail.

04 Cut out OlyFun Sail - Keri Lee Sereika

Using the mast as your guide, cut the mail sail using Snow White Oly*fun. Cut other shapes from the blues to make a design on the sail. Glue to the mast.

05 Fill Boat with StyroFoam - Keri Lee Sereika

Use the sharp knife to cut the cube of StyroFoam into slabs the thickness of the sides you built up on the edges of the boat bottom.
06 Cut The Block and Fill In - Keri Lee Sereika

Fill in all the areas of the boat to provide both adequate and even buoyancy.

 bow using additional piece of styrofoam kids craft- Keri Lee Sereika

Use a slab of StyroFoam to shape the “v” part of the hull so that it fits in the nose of the boat. Simply rub the foam pieces against one another until the shape is just right.

08 Cover Foam with final layer of wood sticks - Keri Lee Sereika

Cover the foam filled boat with the last layer of wooden craft sticks, creating the deck of the boat.

 Oly Fun simple Sailboat as final step - Keri Lee Sereika

Install the mast with attached sail to complete the project!

I hope you love Coleton’s project. If you have a child who makes a simple sailboat, please share a link with us,  I know both Cole and I would LOVE to see it!

Skip to content U.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Highway AdministrationU.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Highway Administration

Major Projects

General Resources

  • FHWA Major Project Guidance Memorandum Section 1904 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) amended 23 U.S.C. 106 and made several significant changes to the requirements for Major Projects. The monetary threshold for classification as a Major Project was lowered from an estimated total cost of $1 billion to $500 million or greater. A Project Management Plan (PMP) and a Finance Plan are required for all Major Projects. In addition, projects with a total cost between $100 million and $500 million, while not classified as Major Projects, require the preparation of Finance Plans that must be made available to FHWA upon request. A memo dated January 19, 2007 announces the issuance of this final guidance, which includes a series of questions and answers to provide guidance for complying with the Major Projects requirements.

  • Major Projects Report to Congress These annual summary reports document the activities of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as related to major projects for each Fiscal Year (FY). The FHWA takes an active leadership role in advancing transportation initiatives through the stewardship and oversight of major projects, which are defined as those with a total cost greater than $500 million. The annual summary documents the performance of active major projects and the actions FHWA has taken to improve their performance.
  • USDOT Office of Inspector General Audit Report: FHWA Met Basic Requirements But Can Strengthen Guidance and Controls for Financial and Project Management Plans Based on the growing number of major projects that meet the legislative threshold for the Major Projects process, the USDOT Office of the Inspector General initiated an audit of FHWA's oversight of financial plans and project management plans for major projects managed by States. The audit determined whether FHWA (1) verified that States' initial and updated financial plans and project management plans met basic requirements, (2) consistently evaluated major project financial plans and project management plans in accordance with its guidance, and (3) had sufficient guidance in key areas or controls to ensure implementation of plan agreements.4 In addition, based on congressional interest, we obtained the views of FHWA officials and States on their use and the potential benefits of innovative methods and MAP-21 provisions to accelerate delivery of major projects. The audit is based on a review of five major projects and includes recommendations to improve FHWA's oversight of major project financial plans and project management plans. The audit also identifies issues that would apply to major projects across FHWA, including guidance and oversight controls.

  • Checklist of Major Project Questions for DAs to Use During Planning / Environment Stages This document from October 2005 identifies the kinds of questions that an FHWA Division Administrator should be asking early in the project planning process when upon becoming aware of a major project taking shape in his or her state. These questions should be revisited periodically, as the project becomes further refined throughout the Planning and Environmental stages.

  • DOT Major Project Oversight Task Force Report (.pdf, 0.2 mb) In December 2000, the Department of Transportation completed the Report of the One-DOT Task Force on Oversight of Large Transportation Infrastructure Projects. The report was commissioned by the Secretary of Transportation to develop a One-DOT process to ensure effective and comprehensive oversight and monitoring of major transportation infrastructure projects. Both near-term recommendations (designated as A, B, and C recommendations) and long-term recommendations requiring potential legislative changes (designated as L recommendations) were included in the report. Included in the near-term recommendations was for each modal agency to designate a Mega project Oversight Manager for each large scale project who is responsible to senior operating officials, and who demonstrates extensive experience in overseeing large projects (Recommendation B.1). To facilitate the Oversight Manager's responsibilities, the report recommended the establishment of core competencies and a development of training materials and providers for all managers (Recommendation B.2). B.4 recommended that sound project management oversight be strongly promoted, C.1 recommended that project management plans be submitted on Major projects, and C.2 recommended that written interagency project agreements be entered into on Major projects. In addition, C.3 recommended that periodic, independent reviews be done under the direction of the Oversight Manager to ensure that the recipient has the capability to efficiently and effectively complete the major project without compromising the Federal government. After the completion of the DOT Task Force Report on the Oversight of Major Transportation Projects, an FHWA policy was then needed to establish the specific requirements from the report that would be implemented (see FHWA Major Project Implementation Plan below).

  • FHWA Major Project Implementation Plan In October 2001, FHWA completed an FHWA Implementation Plan to improve the management of major projects, by incorporating specific recommendations made from the DOT Task Force Report on the Oversight of Major Transportation Projects, the FHWA Stewardship and Oversight Task Force Report, and experiences gained in the administration of current major projects. The plan assigned lead personnel and implementation dates to each of the recommendations contained in the DOT report.
