Berliner Files Pleading For New Power System

CORRECTION: Councilmember Roger Berliner is not a member of the Energy Future Coalition, as we erroneously reported. We apologize for the error. Montgomery County Councilmember Roger Berliner (D-Bethesda) today filed a formal pleading with the state's Public Service Commission to implement a utility pilot program that would include power micro-grids and adjustable rates based on how a utility company performs. Berliner, an energy lawyer, has been exploring a pilot program called Utility 2.0. He watched the work of the Energy Future Coalition, tasked by Governor Martin O'Malley's Grid Resiliency Task Force with providing recommendations for implementing the program by last month. The report is included in Berliner's filing with the PSC, which has total control of regulating utility companies in the state. Berliner has frequently challenged Pepco on its reliability performance and last year held a Council Committee session on the pilot. He argued it will lead to a more efficient, sustainable and reliable electric system that could include local micro-grids powered by solar means, biogas and gas fired cogeneration. The recommendations for the pilot also include performance-based ratemaking, which would "align the financial returns of utilities with how it performs on key metrics." The Energy Future Coalition also recommended utility-provided cost vouchers in exchange for customers allowing the utility to manage the charging of their electric vehicles. From Berliner's statement today: But the institutional challenges are real. As EFC observed, while the technology exists to support a revolution in utility service, our regulatory model is a vestige of century-old thinking and our utilities are inherently conservative and not innovators. It is the job of our state regulators who have 100 percent control over our utilities to ensure that we fully grasp the benefits of a transformed utility system. I urge them to accept this challenge and move Montgomery County and Maryland forward. The PSC held a public hearing last week about Pepco's request for a rate hike to help pay for infrastructure repairs. Many said funding for those repairs should come from the company's profits, not from a proposed $60.8 million a year revenue bump that would cost the average residential customer $7.13 more each month.

Bet Angel Professional

Is Bet Angel the 'Rolls Royce' of trading software? Now with superb, risk-free 'practice mode'!

Is Bet Angel Professional the undisputed king of software for trading on Befair? Maybe. Let's have a closer look at this 'Swiss Army Knife' of trading programs. There are tools to get you into most trading strategies and tools to get you out of them too! This software is packed with all the features you are likely to need in order to make a profit on the exchanges. With bookmaking and dutching features in addition to single click betting, an advanced ladder interface, charting, automatic settings and more, this software takes some learning. However, the effort is worth it.

Getting started

Installing is easy and logging on requires only your Betfair details. A quick word about connection modes is required here - One great feature of Bet Angel is the ability to use different 'connection modes' to Betfair including a 'non-API' mode. Great for when Betfair upgrade or meddle with the API - you can still use Bet Angel!

Bet Angel Practice mode

The practice mode of Bet Angel Professional for Betfair is second to none. After using it for a couple of horse races I can tell you it has a real-market feel to it. There is no virtual balance to play with, rather you can bet whatever value you like to see what happens with the application. This is great news for newcomers or people who want to explore features they may be nervous about using with real money such as bookmaking, offsetting, trying stop loss and trailing stops. It even works with an Excel spreadsheet attached so those who want to develop their own automated strategies can now test them out.

One Click Betting & Ladder

The one click screen is self-explanatory. A single click in here and your bets are fired into betfair. For beginners there is a handy safety feature here - when you start there is a 'Confirm bets' option that is ticked by default. Once you are used to the software this can easily be turned off via the settings.

The ladder is a whole application in itself. You can view three ladders at once or tick 'enhance' ladder which shows one selection but with the profit calculator, graphs, charts and a market overview. I imagine that most traders will spend most of their time on this screen. One or two advanced features need a mention in the ladder. There is the trading profit column that runs alongside the ladder. This can be displayed with or without greening and shows what your position will be if you close at the price at that level on the ladder. Brilliant. On top of that you can now select a single click stop loss. With a click of the right hand mouse button you can ask Bet Angel to fire an automatic bet to prevent loss of profit or to minimise a losing position. Brilliant again. The trading profit calculator is another invaluable tool provided with the enhanced ladder mode. The latest version of Bet Angel now allows you to display up to 10 ladders at once.

Automatic Greening

One of the great things about trading is seeing a screen of green - potential profit on each possible outcome in a market. Bet Angel Professional has greening buttons next to each selection that allows you to do just that. The greening can be set to green against just one runner or the entire field! The new version in 1.20 even shows you what the profit will be before you click on the button. Bet Angel call this the 'closing position column' - a gripping description that really hides the potential of this powerful feature. See in the image the different possibilities when choosing to green by runner or across the field. The figure in the buttons show the potential profit against that runner if the buttons are clicked.

Now we come to one of the areas where Bet Angel Professional really begins to win. Viewing charts can help when trying to predict which direction a market may move. Unlike most other applications that only provide price and weight of money charts, Bet Angel Professional provides a whole raft of charts - some of which will be familiar to financial traders. There are candlestick charts, price envelopes, line charts. These can use current prices, last traded prices, user defined intervals, colours. For anyone that wants to look at charts then Bet Angel Professional is the software for you!

Profit Calculator

profit calculatorThe ladder screen is comprehensive and can be 'enhanced'. This means that instead of showing three ladders for three runners, the screen concentrates on one runner - but with added whistles and bells. For example, in addition to the ladder with all its flashing colours and lights, there is a price chart and weight of money chart. Handy for keeping an eye on the dynamics of the selection. Just above these is the 'profit calculator'. This gives you three options - close your trade at current prices, close at reverse prices or close at a manual price. After using this for ten minutes, it is hard to think how I ever managed without it before. A great tool. Then I found that there are in fact THREE calculators that can be 'undocked' from the main screen and used to look at three runners. Handy for when you are trading on more than one runner.

Integration with Excel is available for those that have an aptitude for programming Excel VBA. Using this, many different triggers can be set up and bets fired in automatically once these triggers have been met. A full range of commands are available such as 'offset, greening, stop loss', etc.

Dutching & Bookmaking

If dutching or bookmaking is the direction you wish to go in then Bet Angel has these two strategies covered too. You can choose which runners to include when doing either of these - or you can include the whole field. It is easy to play around and see which prices to ask for in order to make your profit before firing in the orders. Well thought out and easy to use.

Soccer &Tennis Tools

Bet Angel used to have a stable comanion in the form of Soccer Mystic. First of all this was a completely separate product that cost just as much as Bet Angel Professional. Then they made it free with every purchase of Bet Angel Professional. And now it is part of the main software.

Soccer MysticvSoccer Mystic allows you to model several scenarios of a football match. For example, if you think Manchester United will beat Chelsea 3-0 and will be 1-0 ahead inside ten minutes you can see what the price is likely to be at that time. Or at 45 minutes or at 65 minutes. Or at any point during the game. You can see what will happen to the price if there is an equaliser. You can see what all this does to the over/under markets. And best of all, you can do all of this before kick-off and look at several possible scenarios and forumlate your strategy accordingly.

Click on the thumbnail to the right to see a larger picture of the price predictor.

profit calculatorThe Tennis Trader tool does a similar job but with Tennis matches. You can plug in the current score and see what will happen to the prices should a game or point be won or lost.

These two comprehensive tools make Bet Angel stand out from the crowd and even if you don't use them regularly, you know they are there and can be called upon at any time.

Market Overview and Risk Meter

With the release of version 1.26.2, Bet Angel Professional for Betfair has seen the addition of a new feature that should, in theory, make it easier for a trader to spot good trading opportunities. From the guide:

Betting exchanges make lots of information available that could be useful when deciding how to trade a particular market. Bet Angel Professional can now display a wide range of information from last traded price to volume percentages.

The chart when used with the risk meter should be able to throw up entry points. The meter basically reads the market and decides if it is more or less volatile than it should be for that kind of race. Obviously, the more volatile a market, the more risk is involved with prices liable to shoot off in one direction or the other at any moment! See the examples below.

With less than a minute to go the prices are moving around and the risk has increased! Click on this thumbnail for a larger image.

But the same race 20 minutes earlier looked a lot different...

{rokbox size=|800 529| title=|Chart|}/images/articles/sthl-14th-july.jpg{/rokbox}

In Play Trader

Another great tool with Bet Angel Professional for Betfair is the in-play trader. This gives a graphical representation of how the betting is proceeding within a particular horse race. As soon as the even is turned in play then this tool comes alive with the prices moving all over the place giving an indication of who is leading the race in terms of the betting. You can then use the tool to place bets by clicking on the chart. Easy and exciting to use!

Advanced Automation

The automation feature within Bet Angel Professional is probably above and beyond what any of the competition can offer. Submitting bets based upon price and weight of money are possible. Also, a common requirement for some people is the ability to automatically place a bet a set amount of time before an event starts. For example, I might want to automatically lay the 3rd favourite in all races 30 seconds before the off if the price is greater than 7.0 and less than 10.0. Bet Angel will now let me do this. Other automatic functions include greening, cancel bets, close bets, place lay or back bets, use offsetting and stop settings. All in all, very powerful.

The pricing structure of Bet Angel is as follows: £4.99 for 24 hours use, £29.99 for a months usage or £149 for a whole year. You can also trial it for 30 days for £15 - Less than 50p per day! But you can only do this once. There is also a 'basic' version. The basic version however, does not have any of the advanced features that are available in the Professional version.

Bet Angel has now matured into a stable product and you can't really go wrong with this software. It is thoughrouly recommended and at the new price of £149 it only works out at £12.50 per month. No price at all to pay for something that can easily be used to win that much per horse race, football match or any event. And if you don't want to take my word for it then try it for free for seven days. Although I have to say 7 days is not long enough to get used to the software so consider the half price trial for a month.

LIMITED OFFER - One month for half price trial.

Keep Your Brain Healthy

Forget about using crossword puzzles to keep you sharp. New advances in neuroscience are shedding light on what it really takes to head off cognitive decline.

If you've ever blanked on a neighbor's name or forgotten where you parked your car, you're not alone. You may have even done a panicky Google search for "memory loss." After all, scores of Americans have some form of cognitive impairment, with Alzheimer's disease alone affecting an estimated 5.1 million.

Is there anything you can do to lower your risk? In a nutshell, yes. But until recently, reliable advice was tough to find. In 2010, the National Institutes of Health assembled a panel of specialists from several disciplines— including neurology, geriatrics, psychiatry, and preventive medicine—and asked those experts to review an enormous body of research involving thousands of volunteers across various age groups.

The goal was to form a working consensus on what the mind really needs to stay sharp through middle age and beyond. In the end, some purported brain boosters were shown to have little effect, while a few surprising things looked beneficial.

Here's a review of the best and brightest strategies.

continue reading below

Kick the Couch Habit

A brisk walk today could ease your trip down memory lane later.

In a study led by Arthur Kramer, Ph.D., director of the Lifelong Brain and Cognition Laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, volunteers ages 55–80 agreed to walk for about 40 minutes, three days a week. One year later, brain scans revealed that the average walker's hippocampus—the area responsible for memory and learning—grew by a significant 2 percent.

Meanwhile, among people in a sedentary control group, the same brain region shrank. Walkers also scored 15–20 percent higher than nonwalkers on cognitive tests.

"Aerobic exercise may boost the activity of growth hormones in memory-related parts the brain, fueling the creation of brain cells, improving the connections between them, and nourishing blood vessels," Kramer says.

Even if you struggle with sticking to an exercise regimen, know that some movement is better than none. A six-year study of 1,740 adults over age 65 found that the incidence of Alzheimer's disease dropped with increased levels of routine daily activity (as measured by motiontracking sensors).

So take the stairs instead of the elevator and sneak in a quick walk between errands.These smart moves can add up.

Opt for a Mediterranean Diet

You've probably heard that a diet rich in seafood, fresh veggies, whole grains, and plant-based oils—common in Greece and southern Italy—is great for your heart.

Mounting evidence shows it can help the brain, as well. In a study of nearly 2,200 New Yorkers over age 65, those who regularly enjoyed Mediterranean-style meals were 40 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease after four and a half years than volunteers who stuck to a traditional Western diet.

Mediterranean-inspired eating might be beneficial for several reasons, says study coauthor Nikos Scarmeas, M.D., a neurologist at Columbia University in New York City.

First, it's associated with lower levels of inflammation in the body, which could protect the brain's blood vessels from damage. The diet is also loaded with antioxidants; further research will investigate whether these and other compounds in the diet reduce the formation of harmful amyloid protein plaques in brain tissue.

In the meantime, check out delicious ways to bring Mediterranean elements into your meals.

Know Your Blood Pressure

Quick: What's your blood pressure? If you're drawing a blank, it might be time for a checkup. Of the 65 million Americans believed to have hypertension, only half realize they're affected.

If left untreated, high blood pressure (defined as 140/90 or higher) can raise a person's risk of dementia by up to 48 percent, according to a study in the journal Neurology. One possible reason is that hypertension impairs blood flow to the brain, shortchanging the organ on the nutrients and oxygen it needs to stay vital, says Tracey Holsinger, M.D., a geriatric psychiatrist at Duke University.

Even people with prehypertension—a borderline condition defined by a blood pressure reading of 120–139/80–89—tend to show more evidence of injury to the brain, she says.

To stay healthy, get your blood pressure checked at least every two years (annually if you're hypertensive or prehypertensive). In addition to medication, many of the brain-boosting tips mentioned in this article can help keep blood pressure under control. Your doctor can help you develop a plan.

Learn to Relax

When stress strikes, the brain pumps out cortisol and other fight-or-flight hormones, which can short-circuit the memory-making process. That explains why people often have little recollection of white-knuckle experiences, such as public speaking. Over time, however, continuous exposure to stress hormones sets the stage for serious problems.

A number of large studies have found that people with chronically high stress levels are up to three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than their less-anxious counterparts. You can't always avoid tense situations, but you can control how you respond to stress.

Step one is to recognize the symptoms: Headache, muscle tension, irritability, impatience, and stomach upset are among the more common. If you find yourself feeling on edge, try taking a few deep breaths, stepping outside for fresh air, or chatting with a sympathetic friend.

Research shows that simple soothing acts can interrupt the cascade of stress hormones and relax the mind and body. For longer-lasting stress protection, consider yoga or meditation. In one study, people who meditated regularly were less anxious and exhibited greater activity in the brain region with memory than people in a control group.

Here's a beginner meditation exercise from Giuseppe Pagnoni, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Modena, Italy: Sit cross-legged on the floor with your back straight. Gaze at a spot a few feet in front of you, breathing slowly as you imagine your mind opening and expanding. If a stressful distraction pops into your head (Did I remember to mail the car payment?), don't try to squash it; instead, allow it to drift through your thoughts like a cloud in the sky. Continue for 10 minutes.

Seek New Experiences

If you've always wanted to speak French or start a book club, consider this your incentive to get cracking: Studies show that people who routinely seek new experiences, acquire new knowledge, and engage in mentally stimulating tasks of any kind are up to 50 percent less likely to develop dementia than folks whose intellectual habits are less challenging.

One possible reason is that meaningful mental pursuits create neural connections and make existing ones more efficient, explains Yaakov Stern, Ph.D., a cognitive neuroscientist at Columbia University in New York City.

This reduces overall wear and tear on your wiring, making it more resistant to age-related deterioration. For the biggest brain boost, experts recommend engaging in intellectual activities that have a built-in social component, such as joining clubs,volunteering, and taking classes.

Treat Depression

It's normal—even healthy—to feel down from time to time. But getting stuck in a hopeless funk is another matter. "While we're not exactly sure why, depression can predispose people to dementia,"says Christopher Marano, M.D., a geriatric psychiatrist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "It may be that the condition sets off inflammation and activates the stress response."

In a study of more than 13,000 middle-aged men and women at the University of California, San Francisco, those with persistent depressive symptoms—such as trouble sleeping and feeling negative about the future—were 20 percent more likely to develop dementia in the next four decades than happier volunteers.

Researchers are only beginning to explore whether psychotherapy and antidepressant drugs reduce the risk, but Marano says there's no reason to delay seeking help. If you've been feeling down for two weeks or longer, have a talk with your doctor. Depression is a serious medical condition, and it's also highly treatable.

Despite what you might have heard, these so-called intelligence boosters won't do much to make you smarter.

  • Nutritional Supplements: The 2010 NIH panel found no consistent evidence that taking high doses of folate, ginkgo biloba, or vitamins C, E, or B staves off memory loss. One possible exception is omega-3 fatty acid supplements; research is conflicting.
  • Classical Music: Lots of folks listen to Mozart in hopes that the composer's genius will rub off on them. But an analysis of nearly 40 studies and 3,000 people found that classical music offers no advantage over other types of tunes.
  • Mind Games: A 2009 research review found that computer games marketed for brain fitness can improve performance on specific tasks—such as sorting shapes—but they won't sharpen
    everyday smarts. As for crossword puzzles, they rely on what you already know, so their effect on the brain is limited.

These quick tricks won't exactly guard against cognitive decline, but they could help you retrieve information in a pinch.

  • A Shopping List: Mentally sing the items you need. Tissues, lightbulbs, dryer sheets will never leave your head once you set them to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
  • Someone's Name: Repeat it as soon as you're introduced. "So nice to meet you, Deborah." Then reinforce the memory by keeping the person's name running through your thoughts: Deborah has a wonderful laugh!
  • That Word on the Tip on Your Tongue: Go through the alphabet in your mind. Striking upon the first letter of a word can cue the brain to fill in the rest. Driving directions As you listen to a person's verbal instructions, imagine a brightly colored map with the streets labeled in big block letters. This simplifies the memorization process by turning two navigation elements—road names and turns—into one.

If you've been feeling foggy lately, you might want to check your medicine cabinet.

In rare cases, cholesterol-lowering statins, among the most widely prescribed medications in the United States, can cause memory problems and confusion. (As of February 2012, patient inserts for the drugs must include a warning that describes the risk.)

Fortunately, the side effect abates when people stop taking the drugs. Your doctor can advise you whether a medication switch makes sense.

BHS delighted to welcome new network of routes in the Forest of Dean

23 Aug 2013

The Forest of Dean Greenways will enable horse riders, carriage drivers, walkers, and cyclists to explore some 30 miles of inter-connected woodland tracks in a stunning area of outstanding natural beauty.

With the speed and volume of traffic on roads being at an all-time high, it has never been so important for horse riders and carriage drivers to have access to safe off-road routes.  The British Horse Society works passionately to protect and extend our rights of way network and the charity is delighted with this latest success.

Heather Clatworthy, BHS Senior Executive (Access and Rights of Way) said: “This invaluable network of routes has come to fruition thanks to a local community initiative led by a group of unpaid volunteers from the Forest of Dean and District Horse Riders and Carriage Drivers Association.  I am very proud that this bridleway group are affiliated to The British Horse Society, and feel privileged to have supported them on this project.

“The completion of these routes is due to the hard work and determination of a large team of fantastic volunteers, especially Chairman, Jenny Carling.  Jenny began her campaign for horse riders and local people to gain better access to the beautiful countryside of Gloucestershire as far back as 2005.  Since then she and her team have overcome every obstacle and challenge, including securing more than £100,000 in funding, to ensure that this project is delivered for users of all ages and interests to enjoy.”

The network of trails comprises four individual Greenway routes linked by quiet country lanes to local towns, villages, tourist attractions, hotels, pubs, equestrian centres and rural businesses.

Records show that in Gloucestershire, there are more than 16,500 horses representing an investment of more than £52 million pounds into the local economy every year.  The Forest of Dean Greenways will help not only to secure that investment to the local economy but also to add to it by attracting visiting horse riders and carriage drivers from outside the area to explore this beautiful place with their horses.

Should the books of Enoch, Jubilees
and Tobit be in the Bible?

Submit questions  -  New Articles
QUESTION: Should the books of Tobit, Judith, Enoch, Jubilees and St. Thomas be in the Bible? Are these books inspired by God?

ANSWER: The canon of Scripture concerns what books are included and excluded from the Bible. The set of books thought written under God's inspiration can change for a variety of reasons based on who is compiling the writings. For example, the Catholic church did not officially accept certain books known as the Apocrypha (which includes Tobit and Judith) as part of their Bible until the Council of Trent in the 16th century. What criteria, however, can determine whether certain writings really ARE from the mind of God and not the imagination of man?

Some of the basic principles for determining the inspiration of a book or writing are in Deuteronomy 13 and 18. These passages tell us that a prophet who says to worship other gods, or whose predictions did not happen, should be ignored. We should only believe if something is a TRUE revelation from God if it agrees with prior revelations and/or successfully predicts the future. Writings thought to be from God, which fail these tests, should be rejected.

Factors that clearly expose some books as being not inspired include the absurd stories, historical errors, and contradictions they contain. The literary quality simply is not very good, and they fail what (say) Josh McDowell might call the "internal evidence" test. (You may find it worth tracking down his book The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict for further research in the area of Christian apologetics).

For example, the book of Tobit describes a story in which a Jewish father, blinded by the dung of a bird falling into his eyes, sends out his son to collect a debt. He gets a heart, liver, and gall of a fish on his journey. He runs into a widow who has married seven times, but had never consummated any of these marriages with her husbands because an evil spirit had killed each husband on their respective wedding nights. Tobias (the son) marries this widow, and by burning two of the fish parts, drives off the evil spirit called Asmodeus. He then uses the gall from that fish to cure his father's blindness. This story's setting and miracles are absurd. They lack what C.S. Lewis might call "fitness," or overall appropriateness. It is more superstitious than Godly.

The BASIC teachings of scripture

Tobit also contains a historical error concerning the age of the father, who would have to be well over 200 years old to have experienced personally the deportation of Israel to Nineveh by the Assyrians, but he is only 102 years old when he dies. The book of Judith contains so many absurdities that even a Catholic Bible, the Jerusalem Bible, admitted "The book of Judith in particular shows a bland indifference to history and geography."

The traditional Christian scholar Bruce Metzger, in The Canon of the New Testament: Its Origin, Development, and Significance, gives three basic guidelines that early Christians used for determining their own canon.

  1. Agreement with the "rule of faith" or general traditional Christian teaching

  2. General, long-standing usage among many congregations

  3. Apostolic authorship, which inevitably led to the exclusion of post-100 A.D. writings

The Gospel of Saint Thomas

Supposedly inspired books that bear Thomas' name include the Infancy Gospel of St. Thomas, Book of Thomas the Contender and the Acts of Thomas. He seems to have been quite popular with those who sought to have their writings included among those deemed inspired. All of these writings, found near Nag Hammadi in Egypt in December 1945, and are part of a group of 52 books known as the Nag Hammadi library. All were in the Coptic language and the "gospel" of Thomas contains 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. About half of those are quite similar to those found in the inspired four gospels. The rest, say scholars, are similar to sayings from the Gnostic tradition.

There are other troubling problems with the authenticity and claimed inspiration of Thomas' gospel. The book itself does not refer to the divinity of Jesus. In fact, it remains aligned with Gnostic beliefs that DENY his divinity. Further Gnostic earmarks in the book are its continual references to Jesus’ sayings as "secret" and "mysterious." The book is completely different in tone and structure from the canonical gospels. It is not a narrative account of the life of Jesus but rather a somewhat rambling account of "sayings" attributed to Jesus. The book does not mention the crucifixion, resurrection, or final judgment and does not mention any understanding that Jesus was the Messiah.

The early church father Eusebius included the Gospel of Thomas among a group of books that he considered "the fictions of heretics."

Books such as Tobit, Judith, Enoch, Jubilees and St. Thomas, while they might be interesting to read, should not be considered some of God's divine revelations to man and therefore not taken too seriously. They should not be the official part of ANY Bible.

The Government has been accused of lobbying Europe to water down efforts on tackling climate change, ahead of the publication of proposed EU carbon cutting targets for 2030.

The European Commission will this week set out proposed targets for EU-wide carbon emissions reductions by 2030 as part of a package of climate measures.

A series of targets are in place up to 2020, including reducing Europe's emissions by 20% on 1990 levels and sourcing 20% of energy from renewables.

But in the face of lobbying from the UK Government, the Commission could fail to set new targets for cleaning up transport fuel used in the EU - effectively opening the door for polluting "tar sands" produced in Canada to enter the bloc.

Green groups are also concerned the Commission will not set out binding targets for producing more energy from renewables up to 2030.

And it is likely to publish a series of recommendations for developing shale gas projects in member states, rather than drawing up new EU-wide regulations on fracking.

The UK opposes a renewables target for 2030, arguing it would stop countries using the most cost-effective ways of cutting emissions, which could include non-renewable technology such as nuclear power and measures to cut carbon from conventional power stations.

The Government, which has gone "all out" for shale, has also warned against new legislation on fracking which could delay investment or create uncertainty for the new industry in Europe.

And the UK has argued against setting new targets for cutting emissions from transport fuels under the fuel quality directive after 2020.

The directive demands a 6% cut in emissions from transport fuel by 2020, and efforts have been made to class tar sands as more polluting than conventional oil, which would effectively stop its import to EU countries.

But abandoning targets for the fuel quality directive after 2020 would undermine efforts to reduce emissions from transport fuels this decade and beyond, and open the door to tar sands coming into Europe, including the UK, environmentalists say.

Analysis out this week from the Natural Resources Defence Council suggests without action to stop it, almost 7% of crude oil and transport fuel Europe uses could come from imported tar sands, as Canada seeks to find a new market in the face of an oil glut in the US pushing up EU transport fuel emissions by 1.5% .

Dr Doug Parr, Greenpeace's chief scientist said: "Keeping down emissions from the production of transport fuels is a critical part of a European decarbonisation drive and the failure to include relevant targets in the 2030 framework, together with the foot-dragging over the existing targets, would fire the starting gun on a rush of some of the dirtiest fuels imaginable, like tar sands, flowing into Europe.

"The UK have played a dirty game in getting the Commission to abandon any post 2020 targets restricting and keeping out filthy fuels like tar sands from the EU market.

"Taken with their irrational and religious enthusiasm for shale gas, rolling back on green measures at home and weakening of European efficiency standards it seems like the UK is more of a fossil-fuel junkie than the greenest government ever."

Greenpeace executive director John Sauven added: "The weak, non-binding target on renewables the UK Government has lobbied for would be nothing short of a stab in the back for the clean energy sector.

"Only a binding target will give investors the clear signal they've been waiting for, helping drive down the costs of renewable energy, creating more green jobs, and giving a boost to the UK economy."

The UK Government has argued for ambitious targets to cut EU emissions by 2030, with a binding greenhouse gas reduction of 40% by the end of the next decade, which could increase to 50% if there was a global deal on tackling climate change.

Earlier this month, the UK joined with Germany, Italy and France to urge the Commission to include a binding EU greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of at least 40%.

But a spokesman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said: "It makes no sense to impose artificial constraints on how individual countries meet emissions targets.

"We are determined to keep people's energy bills as low as possible and that means having the flexibility to cut emissions in the most cost effective way."

In a letter to European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso last year, Prime Minister David Cameron claimed a renewable energy target for 2030 could add up to £9 billion on UK bills, though it is not clear where the figure has come from.

Countries including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Portugal have called for a renewable energy target in the 2030 package.

The Commission is set to publish its 2030 white paper and other measures on Wednesday.

NCAA Gymnastics Championships Seeds, Rotations Announced
April 09, 2012

NCAA Championships Central

The University of Oklahoma women's gymnastics team will be the No. 3 seed at the 2012 NCAA Championships. The Sooners will compete in the first semifinal on Friday, April 20, at 11 a.m. CT at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. Missouri's Rachel Updike will compete in the second session which begins at 5 p.m. CT.

NCAA Championships begin with two semifinals made up of six teams on April 20. The top three teams from each session advance to the NCAA Super Six on Saturday, April 21.

Joining OU in the first semifinal will be No. 2 UCLA, No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Utah, No. 10 Stanford and No. 11 LSU. The second semifinal will feature No. 1 Florida, No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Georgia, No. 8 Arkansas, No. 9 Oregon State and No. 12 Ohio State and will commence at 5 p.m. CT.

The Sooners will start on beam during semifinal action. Updike will begin competition on vault and the gymnasts will follow Olympic rotation (vault, bars, beam, floor) with a bye before bars and floor.

Oklahoma advanced to its ninth-straight NCAA Championships after capturing its third-straight regional title at the Champaign Regional Saturday. It is the program's 12th trip to the championships. The Sooners finished third last year behind Alabama and UCLA.

Updike is the eighth Missouri gymnast to punch an individual ticket to the NCAA Championships after earning a 39.350 all-around score at the Fayetteville Regional. The Big 12 Freshman of the Year recorded a 9.900 on floor, tying an MU NCAA Regional individual record.

The women's gymnastics championships consist of 12 teams and 12 all-around competitors (who are not on a qualifying team) and individual event specialists.

Semifinal pairings were determined based on the National Qualifying Score (NQS) which was calculated by adding the Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) to the team's score during regional competition. Once the NQS was calculated, teams were ranked based on their NQS from one to 12. The 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 12 seeded teams were placed in one session, while seeds 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 made up the second group.

Research Positive on Employee Volunteerism

“Business enterprises are keen on supporting charitable causes: not only can their support impact community life but also it can enhance the image of the company both in the community and among employees”, Northstar Research, Employer Supported Volunteerism, 2005.

Burlington, ON – More than 250 corporations across Canada participated in a new research study providing valuable insight and key findings in support of Employer Supported Volunteerism (ESV). Commissioned by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada and conducted by Northstar Research Partners in 2005, this new Canadian study is providing quantifiable evidence that programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters In-School Mentoring have multiple benefits for: the charitable organizations, the volunteers and the corporations. The charities gain experienced and motivated volunteers, the volunteers gain greater self-fulfillment and the corporation gains increasingly motivated staff who have a positive image of, and increased loyalty to the company.

“The results of this study represent an enormous opportunity to expand some of our new, innovative mentoring programs where employees are the primary volunteer recruitment base.”. stated Bruce MacDonald, President & CEO Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. “In-School Mentoring is our fastest growing program representing more than 25% of total children served. This is a terrific program offering a flexible volunteer opportunity for the adult and bringing tremendous benefit to the child. We have seen strong corporate partnership support for In-School Mentoring and are excited about the prospect of more companies getting involved with In-School Mentoring as they hear about the findings”

The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada In-School Mentoring program represents an excellent opportunity to capitalize on this growing trend. This program matches an adult volunteer (the mentor) with a child (the mentee) in a school environment. The activities, which take place during the work and school day, strengthen the mentee’s self-esteem and contribute to improved school performance.

Decision-makers and their respective corporations do want to help the community. And the ability to help the company at the same time is a benefit—if not a necessity. Consequently, a winning formula is a charitable cause that can benefit the community, enhance the image of the company and improve the workplace environment; a winning formula is the In-School Mentoring program.

Recognizing the value and impact of ESV, National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) supported a research initiative with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada (BBBSC) to explore the findings of In-School Mentoring in the workplace. BBBSC secured the expertise of Northstar Research Partners to conduct the 2005 study, Employer Supported Volunteerism.

Key Research Findings

Employer Supported Volunteerism brings benefits to both employers and employees who participate. Some of these benefits have been found to include:

Benefits to Employers

  • Improves corporate public image
  • Improves retention of employees
  • Improves customer relations and consumer loyalty
  • Increases brand recognition
  • Attract and retain investors
  • Increases employee job performance
  • Reduces absenteeism

Benefits to Employees (Volunteers)

  • Improves interpersonal, communication and leadership/managerial skills
  • Enhances morale
  • Increases motivation and job satisfaction
  • Creates a more positive attitude towards employers
  • Enhances team work capacity

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is the leading youth mentoring organization in Canada. It is committed to serving children and youth across the country by providing them with quality one-to-one relationships with volunteer mentors. They currently have 150 agencies in over 900 communities nation-wide and are serving approximately 21,000 children. Another 10,000 children are eagerly waiting to be matched.

The Employer Supported Volunteerism research project was funded through the Government of Canada's National Crime Prevention Strategy.

The Voices
Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is that chipper guy clocking the nine-to-five at a bathtub factory, with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton). However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path.

This Week in the Big Ten

Aug. 8, 2010

[ONE // football kickoff luncheon a huge success]
We open… or close this week with a special thank you to all of the passionate Big Ten football fans that flocked to Chicago and the internet this past week to catch the 2010 Big Ten Football Media Day and Kickoff Luncheon.  This year’s events took place in the McCormick Place Convention Center and was well-received by Big Ten administrators, coaches, student-athletes and fans.  If you missed any of the coverage, don’t you worry!  Track down the latest of what your favorite conference football coach had to say at the podium by clicking here for his transcript. blogger Brent Yarina was also in the building, capturing all the interesting quotes, pictures and tidbits over the two-day event.  We saw a candid picture of Penn State head coach Joe Paterno smiling along with Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and Nebraska AD Tom Osborne and then treated to a great sit-down interview with Osborne and the Big Ten Network’s Dave Revsine talking about the attention the Cornhuskers have received since announcing its intentions to join the conference.

[TWO // buckeyes back on top]
The Big Ten released its top-three football preseason rankings on Monday and Ohio State was tabbed first in the poll, followed by Iowa and Wisconsin. Ohio State enters the 2010 campaign having won at least a share of the last five Big Ten titles, looking to match the Big Ten record of six consecutive, set by the Buckeyes from 1972-77. Ohio State went 7-1 in Big Ten play and 11-2 overall last season, including a 26-17 victory over Oregon in the Rose Bowl Game. Iowa tied for second in the Big Ten with a 6-2 mark in conference play and an 11-2 overall record, including a 24-14 victory against Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Wisconsin posted a 5-3 Big Ten record in 2009, tying for fourth in the conference standings. The Badgers went 10-3 overall, winning the Champs Sports Bowl with a 20-14 victory against Miami (Fla.).

[THREE // pryor and jones prepped with preseason honors]
For the second straight year, Michigan State's Greg Jones and Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor were selected as the Big Ten's Preseason Defensive and Offensive Players of the Year, respectively, the conference announced on Monday. This year marks the first since 1998 that the Big Ten's Preseason Defensive and Offensive Players of the Year have been repeat selections from the previous season. Ohio State's Andy Katzenmoyer (defense) and Wisconsin's Ron Dayne (offense) are the only other pair to accomplish the feat since at least 1996. Jones is the first back-to-back Preseason Defensive Player of the Year since Ohio State's James Laurinaitis in 2007 and 2008, and Pryor is the first player to repeat as Preseason Offensive Player of the Year since Dayne earned the honor in 1997, 1998 and 1999.  Jones was named the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year last season and was a first-team All-Conference pick after leading the Big Ten and ranking third in the nation with 11.8 tackles per game. Pryor has guided Ohio State to two Big Ten Championships and two Bowl Championship Series games in his first two seasons and was named the Offensive Most Valuable Player of the 2010 Rose Bowl Game. Last year, he completed 167 of 295 passes for 2,094 yards and 18 touchdowns and led the Buckeyes with 779 yards rushing.

[FOUR // the votes have been tallied]
This past week several national preseason football rankings were released and the Big Ten is well-represented in all of them. On Thursday, the USA Today preseason coaches' poll highlighted Ohio State in the No. 2 position, followed by 2011 Big Ten member Nebraska at No. 9, No. 10 Iowa, No. 12 Wisconsin and No. 14 Penn State.  In many of the preseason publications, the Big Ten and Big 12 lead all conferences with three teams appearing among the top 10 in at least two of the five preseason polls produced by Athlon,, Lindy's, Phil Steele and Sporting News. Iowa, Ohio State and Wisconsin are considered top-10 teams in at least two of those polls, while Penn State is rated among the top 25 in multiple rankings. The Big Ten and Big 12 are followed by the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC with two top-10 programs each. The Buckeyes are a consensus top-five selection, ranked as high as No. 2 by Athlon, Phil Steele and Sporting News. The Badgers were named a top-10 team by three outlets, appearing at No. 6 by Lindy's, No. 8 by Sporting News  and No. 10 by The Hawkeyes are ranked in the top 10 in two polls, including No. 8 by and No. 10 by Lindy's. The Nittany Lions appear among the top 25 in four preseason polls, including as high as No. 18 by Phil Steele.

[FIVE // bringing big ten football to the circle city]
The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday that Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis has been chosen as the proposed site for the inaugural Big Ten Football Championship Game to be played in December of 2011. The conference office will begin a 30-day period to negotiate a one-year agreement with Indiana Sports Corp and Lucas Oil Stadium to host the game. Once the 2011 agreement is in place, the conference office will conduct a thorough process over the next year to determine the location of the Big Ten Football Championship Game in 2012 and beyond.

[SIX // nod… or bobble your head to penn state]
Congratulations to the Penn State Alumni Association on being named Monday as the winner of the Big Ten Network “Bobblethon,” a contest to generate excitement for the network's upcoming "Big Ten Icons" series. The Nittany Lions defeated the University of Michigan's Alumni Association by fewer than 3,000 votes as the Wolverines came on strong during the last week of the contest.  Fans of all Big Ten schools tapped their favorite virtual bobblehead nearly a million times during the 5-month promotion that kicked off during the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament. As the winner the Penn State Alumni Association claims $10,000 for its scholarship fund. Big Ten Icons is the network's most ambitious project to date. The 20-episode series debuts Saturday, Sept. 18, and then airs Tuesdays at 9 PM ET.

[SEVEN // red, white and blue]
The Big Ten is tied for the lead among all conferences with three players named to the USA Men's Select Team. Illinois' Mike Tisdale, Purdue's JaJuan Johnson and Wisconsin's Jon Leuer have accepted invitations from USA Basketball to participate on another USA Men's Select Team that will train against 2010 USA Men's World Championship Team finalists during training in New York City.

[EIGHT // tourney time]
While we are talking basketball, several Big Ten schools learned of their opponents this week for several destination tournaments that will open the 2010-11 men’s basketball season.  Illinois will face Texas in the second semifinal game of the 16th annual 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer on Nov. 18 at 9 p.m. ET.  With a win, the Fighting Illini will face the victor of the first semifinal matchup between Pittsburgh and Maryland. Michigan will play Syracuse in its opening game of the 2010 Legends Classic championship round on Friday, Nov. 26, at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., it was announced Wednesday.  Tipoff against the Orange is scheduled for 8 p.m. The following night, U-M will face either Georgia Tech or UTEP.  Michigan State will open the EA Sports Maui Invitational against Chaminade on Nov. 22 at 9:30 p.m. ET. The winner will advance to the semifinals to face the winner of the Wichita State-Connecticut contest. Matchups between Oklahoma and Kentucky and Virginia and Washington make up the bottom half of the bracket. Wisconsin learned its road to the 2010 Old Spice Classic championship Thursday with the release of the tournament’s bracket on ESPNEWS.  That journey starts with Manhattan, as the Badgers will open first-round play with a nationally-televised matchup against the Jaspers on Nov. 25. The opener is set for 2 p.m. ET on ESPN2.  From there, the Badgers could face any of the other four 2010 NCAA Tournament teams in the eight-team field over the next three days.

[NINE // watch these women]
Three Big Ten women's basketball players were selected to the 2010-11 preseason Wade Watch list for the State Farm Wade Trophy Division I Player of the Year, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced Wednesday morning.  Iowa's Kachine Alexander and Ohio State's Jantel Lavender and Samantha Prahalis were selected to the 25-member preseason watch list for the Wade Trophy, which is given annually to the Division I student-athlete who best embodies the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade according to the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effort on their team and overall playing ability.  Last season, all three were named first-team All-Big Ten and guided their respective teams to the Big Ten Tournament final and the NCAA Tournament. Lavender is the reigning three-time Big Ten Player of the Year.  The Big Ten is tied for third among all conferences with three selections on the list, behind the Big East and SEC, who have four each, and tied with the ACC and the Big 12. Lavender is one of three players making the cut for the third time, while Prahalis is among six standouts receiving the honor for the second time. The winner of this year's award will be announced at the 2011 NCAA Women's Final Four in Indianapolis.

[TEN // ready to hit the pitch]
This past week College Soccer News released its preseason national top-30 rankings and preseason All-America teams and five conference squads and two standouts were recognized.  In the team rankings, Ohio State leads the Big Ten contingent at No. 10, followed by No. 16 Penn State, No. 18 Northwestern, No. 19 Michigan State and No. 21 Indiana.  Northwestern senior forward Matt Eliason was tabbed as a second-team preseason All-American, while Indiana junior forward Will Bruin was selected to the third team.

[ELEVEN // right on track]
Finally this week, congratulations to both the Indiana men’s indoor and Penn State women’s outdoor track and field teams on being named as Scholar Teams of the Year in Division I for the 2010 seasons by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The squads earned the distinction as a result of being the highest-placing teams with at least a 3.00-cumulative GPA at the most recent NCAA indoor and outdoor championship, respectively. Indiana placed sixth at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships and ended the 2010 winter term with a 3.02 cumulative team GPA. Penn State claimed fourth place at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in scoring 34 team points and had a cumulative team GPA of 3.00.

That's good to know. I will be there tonight and will take advantage of the lounge. I'll see if I can get some good pictures as well and post them here soon.

7 billion people are not the issue - human development is what counts

As the global media speculate on the number of people likely to inhabit the planet on Oct. 31 an international team of population and development experts argue that it is not simply the number of people that matters but more so their distribution by age, education, health status and location that is most relevant to local and global sustainability.

Any realistic attempt to achieve sustainable development must focus primarily on the human wellbeing and be founded on an understanding of the inherent differences in people in terms of their differential impact on the environment and their vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are often closely associated with age, gender, lack of education, and poverty.

These are some of the messages formulated by twenty of the world's leading experts in population, development and environment who met at IIASA in Austria in September 2011, with the objective of defining the critical elements of the interactions between the human population and sustainable development. The Laxenburg Declaration on Population and Development, as prepared by the Expert Panel, describes the following five actions as necessary to address sustainable development, achieve a 'green economy' and adapt to environmental change:

  • Recognize that the numbers, characteristics, and behaviors of people are at the heart of sustainable development challenges and of their solutions.
  • Identify subpopulations that contribute most to environmental degradation and those that are most vulnerable to its consequences. In poor countries especially, these subpopulations are readily identifiable according to age, gender, level of education, place of residence, and standard of living.
  • Devise sustainable development policies to treat these subpopulations differently and appropriately, according to their demographic and behavioral characteristics.
  • Facilitate the inevitable trend of increasing urbanization in ways that ensure that environmental hazards and vulnerabilities are under control.
  • Invest in human capital -- people's education and health, including reproductive health -- to slow population growth, accelerate the transition to green technologies, and improve people's adaptive capacity to environmental change.

According to the Panel, "Education increases people's life opportunities in general, greatly contributes to technological and social innovation, and creates the mental flexibility required for a rapid transition to a green economy. This applies to both low- and high-income countries. Hence, the enhancement of human capital from early childhood to old age through formal and informal education and life-long learning is now known to be a decisive policy priority."

Joint convener of the Expert Panel, Professor Wolfgang Lutz from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, IIASA, and the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, states that the Panel's findings reaffirm research from several key demographic research teams around the world. "Female education and reproductive health services are the two factors that will bring down unsustainable population growth. There is also increasing evidence that 'human capital', the education and health of people, is one of the most important factors in the capacity of people to contribute to sustainable development and economic growth, and adapt to environmental change. These issues are becoming ever more profound, as the population grows and we start to see the consequences of climate change."

Rather than seeing the increase in the number of people sharing the planet merely as a 'problem' Lutz and the other members of the global panel believe that with the right policies and targeted investments in people, particularly the most vulnerable sectors or subpopulations, people will be seen as a resource and not simply a 'problem'.

As stated in the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, "Human beings are at the centre of concern for sustainable development." Therefore, consideration of the changing numbers, characteristics, and distributions of human beings on the planet must be at the core of any serious analysis of the challenges and opportunities for sustainable development.
