CAPACITY MARKET COSTS: The status-quo way of ensuring that there's always enough electricity to keep the lights on will cost consumers between $400 million to $900 million more annually in 2030 than choosing a new approach, according to an analysis presented Friday by Brattle. The consultant answered questions about its review of options to ensure resource adequacy during a Friday technical conference. This is part of a sweeping process by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration that takes aim at the least-costly way to achieve the state's aggressive 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030 goal, which is mandated by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Policymakers and some environmental groups see the application of "buyer side mitigation" to downstate renewables in the New York Independent System Operator's capacity market as a threat to achieving those goals.
The potential for the Trump administration to hamstring New York's efforts by expanding that policy through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is also a worry. If FERC were to order the NYISO to apply an offer floor to all state-supported renewable resources, the costs to consumers would rise to between $1.3 billion and $2.8 billion per year — compared to no mitigation being applied at all, Brattle concluded. The consultant was asked by the Department of Public Service to evaluate the BSM scenarios compared to an option where the state takes authority over resource adequacy. Costs of mitigation rise in scenarios where nuclear plants retire or electricity load growth is higher.
… The main costs to consumers from these BSM-included approaches are because the ratepayer subsidies for new renewables will have to rise to achieve the CLCPA goals compared to if those projects could access revenue from the capacity markets. Questions ranged from details of what resources Brattle included in its analysis, whether they considered local distribution-level reliability issues (they did not) and how carbon pricing in the electricity market would influence the analysis. Brattle's Kathleen Spees said carbon pricing could have benefits and, if it were high enough, reduce the costs of mitigation. "Directionally it could mitigate but at the end of the day it doesn't solve the issue. The underlying issue is that these resources are subject to mitigation at all," she said. Spees also said there were risks around higher capacity prices in the status quo for electricity suppliers when asked about risks of changes to buyer-side mitigation. "It's based on a market rule that could be eliminated any day… so do suppliers believe in that price premium — I think there's a greater risk associated with that," she said.
… In the status quo analysis done by Brattle, the mitigated renewable resources total about 3,000 megawatts and is mostly storage, plus imported Canadian hydropower and a small amount of offshore wind (most offshore wind resources clear the market). Those resources being excluded from the capacity market mean more gas turbines are kept online. In response to a question by New York City Environmental Justice Alliance's Carlos García about the emissions impacts of peakers on EJ communities in the status quo versus the no mitigation scenario, Speed said there should be no major local emissions implications. "That may be surprising given that more gas and oil resources are retained… but that shouldn't have much implication on an emissions basis primarily because with 70 or 90 percent clean energy on the system, those resources are rarely running," she said. "Whether they're technically retired or not still doesn't have a major emissions implication." DPS' Warren Myers said questions on the Brattle analysis will continue to be accepted via email at [email protected]. Public comments will also be sought. — Marie J. French
CHEMICAL CONCERNS — Star Ledger's Michael Sol Warren: "Along the Delaware River in South Jersey, where heavy industry has long contributed to polluted water, air and ground, scientists have raised the alarm over a new contamination. A scarcely studied group of chemicals can now be found in soil across Gloucester and Salem counties, according to new research by scientists from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The pollution appears to have been spewed into the air — some of it blown as far as North Jersey —from a West Deptford chemical plant that was blamed for a water crisis just a few years ago. The study, published last month in the journal Science, focuses on the spread of a new substance used by Solvay, a Belgian chemical company, as part of manufacturing operations at the company's South Jersey facility. … The chemicals in question are replacements for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)."
ELECTRIC TRUCKS — POLITICO's Samantha Maldonado: The New Jersey Economic Development Authority on Friday issued a request for information on zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. EDA is seeking input on how to electrify both trucks and and off-road equipment to move goods, such as those used at ports, airports and distribution centers. The authority will consider how to deploy the charging infrastructure, incentivize a transition to zero-emission equipment and grow and support supply chains.
HOWIE HAWKINS GOES NATIONAL — POLITICO's Bill Mahoney: Syracuse resident Howie Hawkins has officially won the Green Party's nomination for president, giving him a chance to take the relative success he's found in New York to the rest of the country. The party designated him as its nominee during a virtual convention on Saturday.
Hawkins, the Green Party's top vote-getter in his home state thanks to his showings against Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the past three gubernatorial campaigns, is now in a familiar spot. As was the case with his statewide races, he'll try to persuade progressives to vote for a real socialist rather than a traditional liberal, in this case, Joe Biden.
"We're getting a lot of [Bernie] Sanders people," Hawkins said.
There's a chance that Hawkins will become a household name in the coming months, at least to the degree that predecessors Ralph Nader and Jill Stein were. Fairly or not, much of the discussion of his candidacy — from the media as well as the types of voters he's hoping to attract — will focus on whether he's setting himself up to be a spoiler who could give President Donald Trump another term.

How to begin dismantling the electoral college |
How to begin dismantling the electoral college
Posted by Alan | November 10, 2016 14:57 | Filed under: Opinion Politics
Had Hillary Clinton won the electoral vote but lost the popular vote, we would have never heard the end of it. It's time go get rid of this antiquated way of choosing our president. John Koza has one idea.
The reason why five of our nation's 45 incoming presidents have entered office after losing the national popular vote (while winning the Electoral-College vote) is that most states have winner-take-all laws that award all the state's electoral votes to the candidate receiving the most popular votes in that state.
Given that there have now been eight consecutive presidential elections with an average national-popular-vote margin of less than 5 percent, it is safe to predict that the nation will continue to experience elections ending in this unhealthy way.
These state winner-take-all laws are also the reason why the 2016 presidential candidates concentrated 94 percent of their campaign events in just 12 closely divided "battleground" states, while giving little or no attention to states with 70 percent of the nation's population…
Fortunately, the Founding Fathers provided us with a way to change the current method of electing the president so that the candidate receiving the most popular vote in all 50 states always wins the White House.
This makes every vote, in every state, will be politically relevant in every presidential election.
The U.S. Constitution empowers each state to choose the method of awarding its electoral votes ("Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors….").
…The National Popular Vote interstate compact provides a way to guarantee the presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact will go into effect after being enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes — that is, enough to elect a president (270 of 538).
Under the compact, when the Electoral College meets in mid-December, the candidate who received the most popular votes in all 50 states (and the District of Columbia) would receive all the electoral votes from all the enacting states (and thereby become president).
So far, 11 states possessing 165 electoral votes have enacted the National Popular Vote bill into law. Enactment by states possessing an additional 105 electoral votes is necessary to bring the compact into effect. The bill has made significant progress in this direction by already passing one legislative chamber in 12 additional states with 96 electoral votes.

The electoral college should be done away with. It is old, outdated, and backwards.
Dwendt44 November 10th, 2016 at 23:52
The Republican Party has benefited from the Electoral College for several election cycles now, they are in no way, going to allow it to be dismantled.
Lindsncal November 14th, 2016 at 18:57
In any other developed country in the world, Hillary would be president today.
There is no such thing as a 'popular' vote. The popular vote IS the vote.

FROM ALBUM NOTES by Mario Bortolotto:
In this cd, two phenomena intersect in the musical reality of today. There is, above all, the discovery of the guitar. The instrument of Sor and Giuliani seemed to be destined almost exclusively to folk music or popular music and had very few illustrious exceptions in the XIX century. During the last decades many composers have written music for guitars challenging the difficulties of this attempt. One of them, Luciano Berio, faced this challenge in a spiritual way using absurd and enigmatic chords in his world-famous "Sequenza per chitarra sola". In Italy, first-rate musicians such as Petrassi, Donatoni, Togni, Clementi and Pennisi, have been fascinated by the charm of this sonority, which is exotic and ancestral at the same time. Debussy thought of using it in a sonata but his decease prevented him froln writing it. The second phenomenon is the passion for phonetic metamorphosis. The music passes from one sonorous world to others which are totally different, and it becomes almost paradoxical. […]
Béla Bartok: (b Nagyszentmiklós, Hungary [now Sînnicolau Mare, Romania], 25 March 1881; d New York, 26 Sept 1945). Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist and pianist. Although he earned his living mainly from teaching and playing the piano and was a relentless collector and analyst of folk music, Bartók is recognized today principally as a composer. His mature works were, however, highly influenced by his ethnomusicological studies, particularly those of Hungarian, Romanian and Slovak peasant musics. Throughout his life he was also receptive to a wide variety of Western musical influences, both contemporary (notably Debussy, Stravinsky, Schoenberg) and historic; he acknowledged a change from a more Beethovenian to a more Bachian aesthetic stance in his works from 1926 onwards. He is now considered, along with Liszt, to be his country's greatest composer, and, with Kodály and Dohnányi, a founding figure of 20th-century Hungarian musical culture.
Darius Milhaud: (b Marseilles, 4 Sept 1892; d Geneva, 22 June 1974). French composer. He was associated with the avant garde of the 1920s, whose abundant production reflects all musical genres. A pioneer in the use of percussion, polytonality, jazz and aleatory techniques, his music allies lyricism with often complex harmonies. Though his sources of inspiration were many and varied, his music has compelling stylistic unity.
George Gershwin: (b Brooklyn, NY, 26 Sept 1898; d Hollywood, CA, 11 July 1937). American composer, pianist, and conductor. He began his career as a song plugger in New York's Tin Pan Alley; by the time he was 20 he had established himself as a composer of Broadway shows, and by the age of 30 he was America's most famous and widely accepted composer of concert music.
Igor Stravinsky: (b Oranienbaum [now Lomonosov], nr St Petersburg, 5/17 June 1882; d New York, 6 April 1971). Russian composer, later of French (1934) and American (1945) nationality. One of the most widely performed and influential composers of the 20th century, he remains also one of its most multi-faceted. A study of his work automatically touches on almost every important tendency in the century's music, from the neo-nationalism of the early ballets, through the more abrasive, experimental nationalism of the World War I years, the neo-classicism of the period 1920–51 and the studies of old music which underlay the proto-serial works of the 1950s, to the highly personal interpretation of serial method in his final decade. To some extent the mobile geography of his life is reflected in his work, with its complex patterns of influence and allusion. In another sense, however, he never lost contact with his Russian origins and, even after he ceased to compose with recognizably Russian materials or in a perceptibly Slavonic idiom, his music maintained an unbroken continuity of technique and thought.
Nexus Guitar Quartet (Guitar Quartet): The Nexus guitar quartet was founded at the beginning of the eighties while the members were studying at the Conservatory of "S. Cecilia" in Rome under the direction and guidance of Mario Gangi e Carlo Carfagna. The members of the quartet graduated in 1985-86 with full honours. The four soloist members have won prizes but also judged at prestigious national and international musical competitions, such as "Mauro Giuliani" in Bari, Fago" in Taranto, "Concorso chitarristico citta di Mottola" in Mottola, and "Guerrero" in Madrid. The quartet has appeared on many important series and festivals such as "Accademia Nazionale di S. Cecilia", "Orchestra RAI di Roma e Napoli", "Orchestra RTV di Ljubljana", "Orchestra G. Petrassi","Accademia Filarmonica Romana", "Associazione Amici di Castelfranco Veneto", "Centro Chitarristico Veneto", "Perugia Classico", "Camerata Musicale Barese", "Festival Eco e Narciso", "Festival Dialogo con Madema", "Festival di Villa Massimo", "Festival Beffiniano", "Festival di Darmstadt", "Festival di Nuova Consonanza", "Mittelfest", "Festival Antidogma", "Festival Nuovi Spazi Sonori", "Festival Andres Segovia", "Festival Giuliani" etc. The quartet performs music from the XIX century, from classical music to jazz, and has premiered works of eminent composers such as Aldo Clementi, Francesco Pennisi, Camillo Togni, Ada Gentile, Paolo Arca, Fabrizio de Rossi re, Roy H. Zimmerman. The quartet plays "Ramirez Gran Concerto" guitars.

Premier Christy Clark takes questions outside Government House Tuesday. (Tom Fletcher/Black Press_
Election kicks off with promises, rallies
Visit to Government House officially begins campaign
Premier Christy Clark started off the 2017 election campaign Tuesday with a visit to Government House to dissolve the legislature and begin a 28-day run to voting day on May 9.
Clark and other MLAs officially became candidates when Lt. Governor Judith Guichon issued the election writs for voting in 87 constituencies, up two since the last election with new seats added in Surrey and Richmond.
Clark followed that with a noon-hour rally with Vancouver Island candidates at Elk Lake outside Victoria and a suppertime event in Vancouver to start the campaign. NDP leader John Horgan and Green Party leader Andrew Weaver also had public events in Vancouver to start the first day of the formal campaign.
Taking questions at Government House, Clark said her party's platform is the only one that is costed and won't require tax increases.
The NDP's promise to eliminate tolls on the Port Mann bridge would cost $150 million, and it would mean people outside the Lower Mainland would be covering bridge costs, she said.
"And then you add in a $1.5 billion child care plan," Clark said. "He's already run out of money."
The BC Liberals released their election platform Monday, promising four more balanced budgets and repeating commitments made in the February budget, including a 50 per cent reduction in medical services premiums starting in 2018.
The NDP releases its full platform Thursday, building on promises to set up $10-a-day child care province-wide and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
The Greens have an even more ambitious child care plan, with daycare at no cost and expansion of kindergarten to include three- and four-year-olds.
Eligible voters can begin voting today, by requesting a mail-in voting package on the Elections BC website or calling 1-800-661-8683.

The verger summary
Albert Edward Foreman was the verger (i.e. an official who acts as a caretaker and attendant in a church) of St. Peter's, Neville Square. That afternoon there had been christening at the church. Foreman was still wearing this verger's gown. He had on his second-best dress as he kept the new one for funerals and weddings. Foreman always wore this official gown with much complacence as it was the dignified symbol of his office. Without it he felt being somewhat insufficiently dressed. He loved his official gown so much that he stocked all the old gowns that he had used during his service as a verger. When they were worn out, he neatly wrapped them up in brown paper and kept them in the bottom drawers of the wardrobe in his bedroom.
When the christening was over the verger busied himself quietly with his works. He replaced the wooden cover on the marble font, took away a chair that had been brought for an infirm old lady. Then he waited for the vicar to finish off his work. This vicar was newly appointed. He was a red-faced energetic man in the early forties. Albert Edward still missed the former vicar, a clergyman of the old school who preached leisurely sermons in a silvery voice. He never complained about the things in the church. He liked things the way they were. But the new vicar was quite different from the former one. He wanted to have his finger in every pie. But Albert Edward was tolerant. The neighborhood of St. Peter's was very good. The parishioners (i.e. the people who attend the church) of the church were a very nice class of people. The new vicar had come from the East End and he could not be expected to get adjusted at once with the discreet ways of his fashionable congregation. Albert hoped that the new vicar would learn with time.
The vicar had a walk down the aisle and asked the verger to meet him in the vestry. The verger accompanied the vicar to the vestry. Edward was surprised to find the two churchwardens there. Being sight uneasy Albert Edward wondered what the matter was. The vicar told Albert Edward that he was quite surprised to discover that he (Albert) could neither read nor write. He further said that he had no complaint to make against Albert Edward. He had been doing his work quite satisfactory, and he had the highest opinion both of his character and of his capacity. But still, he could not have an illiterate verger at a church like St. Peter's Neville Square. The vicar asked Edward Albert whether he could learn now. He would give him three months' time to learn to read and write, and if he fails to do so within this time he would have to leave his job. Edward Albert told the vicar that at this age it was not possible for him to learn; he had lived a good many years doing his duty without knowing how to, read and write. So the verger told the vicar that he would be happy to hand in his resignation as soon as they find someone to take his place.
After that Edward came out walking along the street with a heavy heart. He felt like having a cigarette, though he was not a regular smoker. He looked about him for a shop where he could buy a packet of Gold Flakes. But he did not find a single shop selling cigarettes in that long street. He thought that if he opened a shop of cigarettes there he could really do well. So he discussed the matter with his wife and left the job of verger; and opened a cigarette shop in that street. His business did very well and in a course of ten years, he opened ten shops on different streets in London. Albert was making money hand over fist. Every Monday he deposited the week's earning in the bank. One day the manager of the bank advised Foreman to invest the money which was a little over thirty thousand pounds. He even assured that the bank would help Foreman to choose the securities, only he would have to sign the transfer. But when Foreman asked the manager as to how would he know what he was signing, the manager replied that of course, he could read the papers. Foreman disclosed that he was an illiterate man, neither he could write nor read. Hearing this, the manager was taken aback. He was shocked to know that a man who could a mass fortune of thirty thousand pounds was an illiterate man.

Hence, as the vicar said, the verger must learn to read and write within three months or leave his office.

Ans: As the verger sat in the vestry with the vicar and the churchwardens, he was wondered with slight uneasiness what could be the matter. He noted that the two churchwardens were sitting at the handsome refectory table and he recalled that the table had been bought by the earlier vicar from Italy. He realized that something was bothering the vicar and the two churchwardens.

Ans: In my opinion, Albert Edward, was a very confident man. He was quite sure of himself.

He even assured that the bank would help Foreman to choose the securities, only he would have to sign the transfer. But when Foreman asked the manager as to how would he know what he was signing, the manager replied that of course, he could read the papers. Foreman disclosed that he was an illiterate man, neither he could write nor read. Hearing this, the manager was taken aback. He was shocked to know that a man who could a mass fortune of thirty thousand pounds was an illiterate man. That is why the manager stared at Foreman as though he were a prehistoric monster.

1. Character sketch of the verger.
Ans: William Somerset Maugham has portrayed the character of the verger. Albert Edward Foreman though an illiterate person served as the verger of St. Peter's Neville Square for 16 years. He began his life as a page boy at the age of twelve in the house of a merchant-prince. He then rose from fourth to the first footman and later he had been single-handed butler to a widowed peeress. And before being appointed at St. Peter's, Foreman was a butler with two men under him in a retired ambassador's house.
Albert Edward Foreman was a man of confidence and self-respecting nature. When the vicar discovers that the verger could neither read nor write and instruct him to learn reading and writing within three months or leave the job of the verger, he did not feel shattered. Rather he told him that he would not be able to learn read and write at this old age and that he happily offered his resignation.
Albert Edward Foreman was a realistic and proud man with great business acumen and common sense.
2. Narrate the circumstances under which the verger had to lose his job in St. Peter's church.
Ans: Albert Edward Foreman served St. Peter's church as a verger for sixteen years. He accomplished the duties of the office to the satisfaction of everybody concerned. Everything was going on smoothly until the new vicar came.
The new vicar was an educated man. When he came to know that the verger was an illiterate man he was shocked. So, one afternoon the vicar asked the verger to came to the vestry. In the vestry, the verger was wondered with slight uneasiness what could be the matter as he found the two churchwardens already sitting there with the vicar. The troubled look of the two churchwardens led the verger to think that the vicar had been nagging them and might have jockeyed them into doing something against their will while he was wondering about the situation, the vicar told the verger that he had something unpleasant to say to him. The vicar admitted that the verger had accomplished the duties of the office to the satisfaction of everybody concerned. But he was astonished to find the verger to be an illiterate person. In that case, the verger could not be allowed to continue his jobs in a prestigious church like St. Peter's. Hence, as the vicar said, the verger must learn to read and write within three months or leave his office. But the verger refused to take the offer and preferred to resign believing that it was too late now to learn.
It was under these circumstances the verger had to lose his job in St. Peter's church.

Gamecocks drive past Bulldogs, 86-80
Photo: Lauren Tolbert/UGA
ATHENS, Ga – Despite five Bulldogs in double figures, the Georgia men's basketball team suffered an 86-80 loss to South Carolina Saturday afternoon in Stegeman Coliseum.
Five Bulldogs reached double digits in the scoring column for the fourth time this season. Senior forward Derek Ogbeide led Georgia, recording 16 points to fall just two-shy of a career-high. With his seven rebounds, Ogbeide moved to No. 9 among UGA's career rebounding leaders, surpassing Athens native Carlos Strong. In addition, senior guard Turtle Jackson (10 points), junior guards Tyree Crump (14) and Jordan Harris (11) and sophomore forward Rayshaun Hammonds (11) all reached double figures.
"I had no doubt that our team would come back," said Georgia head coach Tom Crean. "We were missing close-range shots. We were missing some lay-ups. We were staying on the glass. We were staying aggressive. So it wasn't about the offense. We missed — definitely we missed some lay-ups, we missed some open threes, but today we didn't guard the ball well enough and we didn't guard the shooters well enough. Whether we were in man or we were in zone, we just did not have a hand up the way we needed to, and the basket started looking like Lake Michigan for them because it was open, and I'm disappointed in that because this team is improving in a lot of ways. And those of you that have been covering us, I think you can see they're improving, and it's not a — it's not a moral victory, this speech. It's a, "we are improving." But we have got to quit hurting ourselves with not having our hands up or not communicating a switch. There's no excuse for that."
Hammonds put Georgia on the board with two baskets and two free throws to give the Bulldogs their first six points of the game. Four Bulldogs extended Georgia's scoring total at the line, with baskets from Harris, Ogbeide, and sophomores Teshaun Hightower and Nicolas Claxton.
After struggling at the free throw line during the Bulldogs' matchup against Arkansas, Ogbeide went 6-for-6 against the Gamecocks, marking an additional career high for the Lagos, Nigeria, native.
Despite missing two games due to injury, Harris was efficient on both sides of the ball in today's game. Defensively, Harris recorded a career-high four steals, while adding another career-high of five offensive rebounds.
Crump started the game 0-of-2 from behind the arc. However, the junior guard ended the game 4-of-9, surpassing his 3-point field goal total from last season.
While the Gamecocks were able to extend their first-half lead to 15, a 12-point scoring spree helped narrow the deficit. Crump scored the first of five-straight baskets to kickstart the scoring frenzy for the Bulldogs. The junior guard knocked down two 3-pointers, while Ogbeide and Claxton added a total of six additional points. Georgia headed into the half down by five, with the Gamecocks leading, 45-40.
Out of the half, the Bulldogs scored on their first two possessions, with a 3-point basket from Jackson and a jumper from Crump. Harris added a 3-pointer off a steal to cut the Gamecocks' lead to four. Another basket in transition, this time from Jackson, brought Georgia within five with 7:28 to play in the game.
Although the Bulldogs were able to get within three with two made free throws from Jackson in the remaining minutes of the game, South Carolina held on to secure the win. Despite the loss, Georgia ended the game 22-of-25 from the free throw line. This 88 percent free throw performance marks a season-high for the Bulldogs.
With this loss, the Bulldogs fall to 1-7 in the SEC and 10-11 overall.
Georgia returns to action on the road against Alabama on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at 9 p.m. in Tuscaloosa. The game will be televised on SECN. The Bulldogs will be back at Stegeman Coliseum next Saturday to host Ole Miss at 1:00 p.m. That contest will be Georgia's sixth overall and fifth-consecutive sellout this season.
• Another big crowd at Stegemen Coliseum with 9,820 fans. Through 12 home games this season, Georgia has averaged 8,850 fans, which is the most since the 2002-03 season.
• Georgia still narrowly leads the all-time series history at 58-55 and the Bulldogs are 33-19 at home, but the Gamecocks have won the last five meetings.
• The SEC leader in rebounds, Nicolas Claxton collected game-high nine boards for a season total of 195.
• The rebounding battle went to Georgia to a tone of 39-30. The Bulldogs have won the battle 15 times this season and are 10-5 in those games. Georgia entered the contest 2nd in the SEC (+6.0).
• For the forth time this season, five bulldogs finished with double digits in points. (SSU, TSU,TEX)
• Explosive second 10 minutes of the first half: With 10:02 on the clock, SC led 20-8. The following 10 minutes had 57 more points for a halftime score of 45-40. Georgia trailed by as much as 15, but dwindled its deficit to five after finishing the half on a 14-5 run.
• 100th Career Block Ties Dad: Nicolas Claxton in the second half got his first block of the game and reached triple digits in career blocks in doing so. The block also tied his father, Charles, in his 1994 season total (58) blocks which is No. 8 on the UGA season block list. Nicolas is now one block away from No. 7 Antonio Harvey ('91) and two from No. 6 Yante Maten ('16).
• Two-Block, Two-Steal Game: Nicolas Claxton finished with two blocks and two steals. It is the sixth time in his career that he has recorded at least two of each and they have occurred all this season. He leads the team in both categories this season.
• Moving up in top-10 in Career Rebound: Derek Ogbeide grabbed seven rebounds to move into the No. 9 spot (741) in Georgia rebounding history, passing Athens native Carlos Strong (739). He is now 22 boards away from the No. 8 spot, Chris Daniels.
GEORGIA HEAD COACH TOM CREAN
"Well first and foremost were getting better and I can't let this team lose sight of that. I mean there's so many things we're better at and improving on, but we took a step backwards defensively today with the shot challenges. We took a step back with our communication. We didn't switch the way we were supposed to switch. We tried to make it as simple as we possibly can in the sense of its not about who you're matched up with, it's about are we covering the ball? Are we covering the switch? And our communication dropped, and it goes from senior on down. We weren't nearly active enough with our hand on the ball and we weren't nearly active enough on the shooting. We just gave them too much space and we kept trying to stress to this team that they shoot the ball well, they shoot it quick. Certainly, [A.J.] Lawson has brought a lot to that team. Trey Campbell is playing as good as he ever has there. We knew the one guy we have to guard, outside of [Chris] Silva, at the top of the key is [Felipe] Haase. We just didn't do a good job with our hands. We're just not nasty enough or tough enough on that ball, and there's times we are, but it's just not consistent enough. Like I said to the team, we're missing so many layups, right? I know that we're going to get those, those are going to come. So even when you're down the point total that we were in the first half, that's not an issue because we're getting good looks. But what we got to do is get stops and we had two or three stops in a row inside of the game. It's not close to good enough and I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed for a great crowed that did everything they could do to help us. And I'm disappointed that we gave them [S.C] so many looks and they knocked them down. At the end of the game, when it's a five-point game with two timeouts left and there's 23 seconds left we put Derek [Ogbeide] back in for the board. We wanted to go quick, go quick and get a two. With two timeouts left and 20 some seconds, my thought process was let's get the ball inside, and what we wanted to do was get a screen down for Nic [Claxton]. We wanted to get Nic in the middle of the floor so not only could he score, but he could pass if they brought a double into the middle and we didn't get a great seal. But we missed three wide open threes. At that point, I'm telling the ref score and timeout, score and timeout, because the last thing we want to do is call a quick timeout and have one of those guys get a steal. Now we don't have a chance to score. We didn't get them, those shots didn't fall. We got three good looks, they didn't go. But we lost this game on challenging shots, or lack of challenging shots and too many easy buckets."
GEORGIA FORWARD DEREK OGBEIDE
On trying to make a comeback in the second half…
"We definitely did our part, for the most part in getting stops and getting them handled. We brought it down, I think two or three times, to single digits and just let it slip again. So, it's that kind of slippage that really is what affected us, it is what lost us the game. It wasn't the matching the shots, because you're going to make shots, and you are going to make runs making shots. But, being able to close out that little slippage that we had when we brought it down close was our issue. It was our main issue all game."
On vibe in locker room with 6 straight SEC losses…
"Combating something like that you have to have a very particular mindset, just to be able to overcome something like that. It can't be handled regularly it can't be handled like any other loss or win, those losses stack and they hurt. They literally just hurt so bad, but you can't think about the hurt, you can't think about what you are going through selfishly. We literally just turn all of our attention to the next game."
GEORGIA GUARD TYREE CRUMP
On frustration of not hitting shots in the start of the game…
"I never get frustrated, You're a shooter, you shoot untill you're hot. That's how I feel. I did not get down on myself because I missed a couple shots. I feel like the next one is going in, and it did. It just started from there."
On problems scoring…
"I feel like we executed the plays. South Carolina is just an aggressive team. We were kind of able to fall back on our shots some, but we were not going up as strong as we usually do. But, we were kind of able to bounce back and figure it out. And came back."

Sitting at the laptop, working on images with the sun beating through the windows, it doesn't hurt to take a break. Fresh air and sunshine is always welcome, so I grabbed my camera and set myself a fifteen-minute challenge.
I would walk from my house for fifteen minutes, find some inspiration, hopefully make some images and then walk home again. It did not matter how long I spent making these images, as I was only fifteen minutes from home.
Having grown up in Brentwood, Essex, it does not feel like the most inspiring or exotic location that conjures up an idyllic scene that screams to be photographed. This fifteen-minute challenge would force me to look further into my immediate surroundings and see if I could find something to make an image of. It turns out there is quite a lot, just outside my front door.
As I left my house, I was wondering about the local architecture, parkland and if there was a local garden with blooming flowers. I live in a place that is pretty flat and so there were no hills or viewpoints that were accessible in fifteen minutes. I remembered a green space that I used to play in as a kid that did have bluebells in the small forest and it was accessible in ten minutes. I wondered if there would still be bluebells there, as now is the best time of the year to see them. I knew where I would head.
An hour and a half into my fifteen-minute walk (That is typical for me), I had made several images that I wanted to share, and all only fifteen minutes from my home.
Fifteen minutes from my house brought me here, where does it take you?
Look beyond, what is in the next field?
Moving the camera with the shutter open gives different results.
The canopies looking out to the tree in the next field made for perfect natural framing.
I will continue with these fifteen-minute challenges and explore my immediate area in more detail. I am keen to see what I will find.

Christmas is the time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Christ quite literally represents the embodiment of pure love, unconditional love.
Now there are many forms of love in this world of ours. There is love for a parent, for a child, for a lover, an animal, a thing, a cause etc.
These worldly loves often have an element of the relative about them. Relative in the sense that there are conditions: I will love you if… (you love me back, make me laugh, look after me...etc). I will love you when… ( you have a better job, loose some weight, do not get so angry…etc). I will love you if…etc, etc.
It is easy to observe many people are confused by these different aspects of love. This was often apparent after people came to any of the Foundation programs, particularly the residential ones.
The fact is that these programs reliably bring out the best in people. Participants quickly come to really care for each other. The staff consistently put their own issues aside and really care for the participants, People begin to feel something of that unconditional love.
As an aside, it is my sense that it is just this, the experience of unconditional love, that often explains the wonderful, positive and often profound transformations that occur during the programs in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing of participants.
The key resides in understanding the difference between relative and absolute. This is one of the great gifts of examining our minds. When we do so, we realise there is relative and there is absolute. On the absolute level we all have an intrinsic goodness, an intrinsic purity. In Christianity we say we are made in God's image. Cannot get much purer than that. In Buddhism we say that in their essence, everyone has Buddha nature – again that notion of fundamental goodness and purity.
Christmas then is a perfect time to contemplate the place of love in your life. To consider when for you love is unconditional, when it is more like a deal with its conditions, and when it is better avoided. Christmas often brings families together in a way that these issues are brought to the fore, so be gentle on yourself and others, take time to contemplate and meditate and may you experience something of the true meaning of Christmas – unconditional love.
Next Blog: I had pre-empted writing something about 2011 for this post, but love just took over! So there will be a short break until the New Year and then, all being well, some thoughts on the year to come.
May you have a joyful Christmas and a meaningful 2011.
Many will know I retired from the Gawler Foundation at the end of 2009.The intention was to stand back from the work I had been immersed in for the last 30 yrs., to reconsider how I could be useful, and at the same time, allow TGF to function independently.
So this week a more personal blog. Happily TGF is flourishing while I have had a good break, attended some great retreats, rewritten a book, thought deeply about the future, spent a bit more time with family and friends, revamped the garden and explored cyberspace.
The year started with my nephew and Godson, who lives in Copenhagen, marrying a delightful Danish woman.
Then the first of the year's retreats with Sogyal Rinpoche's annual teachings at Myall Lakes. The opportunity to be with a genuine teacher who provides authentic teachings is very precious. The Tibetans have been studying the mind for centuries and Rinpoche knows Westerners well. His wisdom and clarity continue to inform all that I write and do and I will share some of the key points in future blogs.
March and April were for completing workshops committed to before retirement. It was particularly poignant to present at Lionel Fifield's Brisbane Relaxation Centre. Lionel invited me to present my first ever public workshops there in 1984 and I have spoken there every year since. So it was fitting and moving to give the last workshops in this cycle of my public life at the new, relocated Relaxation Centre.
On return, the rather curious experience of Ruth going off to work at TGF, and me being very definitely at home.
Now some will know my first 60yrs were spent personally avoiding computers. Not many people these days retire from an office based job never having had a computer on their desk. I did! While TGF is fully computerised and I engaged in planning and developing their use, my aversion was pretty strong. For one thing, I love the tactile and creative energy that flows when writing with a fountain pen.
Anyway, this time away was motivated by an urge to rethink my work and how I could be most useful in the future, as well as to explore new possibilities. So actually it has been a treat learning to type and to use a computer, to set up a personal website and to start this blog. Then aided by conversations and guidance from our youngest son, friends who are seriously into IT, and others who have offered to help, there has been the chance to learn about and explore emerging technologies. Lots of mind-blowing possibilities that I continue to contemplate.
During July/August, Ruth and I were fortunate indeed to travel to retreats with Rinpoche at his Irish centre Dzoghen Beara and the French centre Lerab Ling. Also, we spent time on the mystical and peaceful Christian meditation space known as the island of Iona, as well as at Thich Nhat Hahn's Plum Village. On return we stopped in Bangalore, India where two good friends looked after us particularly well and escorted us to visit Sai Baba in his Puttaparthi ashram.
This was an extraordinary trip; even moreso because Ruth's back had been becoming increasingly painful and incapacitating. Back home, tests revealed a prolapsed disc, surgery ensued, followed by a rapid and complete recovery. What a blessing! Surgery is fabulous when it works, which is pretty often.
People often ask if I miss my old Veterinary days. I remember them well; loved working as a Vet, but what I do miss is the surgery. My oldest daughter has just finished second year Vet and it is great fun talking with her about her course and to see her being so successful in her studies.
Next week, some of the insights from the retreats and contemplation time; as well as some possibilities for 2011 and beyond.
Also, on a practical note, we are changing to a more automated database and in the process the email advice for the last two week's blog posts may not have reached everyone. Therefore there may be some reading to catch up on if you are interested.
This week we have two guest contributors – Dr Craig Hassed and Paul Bedson. Both are friends and colleagues; Craig lectures at Monash Medical School and has regularly presented at Gawler Foundation cancer programs for around 10yrs. Paul and I worked together for many years and co-authored "Meditation an In-depth Guide". Both are experienced authorities on mindfulness and meditation and have responded to my blog: "Go with the flow or intervene"(see the blog below of 16/11/10), where I suggested there was potential confusion in the way mindfulness was being currently defined and used as a word.
But first some practicalities. Next week we are upgrading the database for my blog and website so it becomes easier for you and more efficient for us. You will receive email notification of this. If you choose to be removed from the database do nothing. However, importantly, if you choose to continue to be on it, you will need to confirm by simply clicking on the link provided.
"In regard to the question and answer, there is a lot in what you say but it would be my view that you have not accurately portrayed mindfulness and have drawn a false distinction. The reason for saying that is because all of what you say about discernment and getting to know our minds ('selves') better is exactly what mindfulness teaches us.
The short and apparently one dimensional definition from Jon that keeps getting cited does not provide a full account of all that mindfulness offers. That is probably why Jon's books on the subject are 500 pages long and not just one line.
Mindfulness meditation is the cornerstone in how to live mindfully - i.e. consciously and with discernment. It is exactly because it teaches us much about ourselves that it helps so much with conditions like depression, and fosters things like emotional regulation and self-awareness.
To say that mindfulness is just paying attention is true on one level - like saying that an elephant is a big animal with four legs and a trunk. It doesn't tell us anything about its functions - i.e. what the elephant can do.
and the capacity to be more in touch with the reality of the present moment, are strengthened and stabilised through mindfulness meditation and mindful living. One cannot make rational decisions without it.
The point you make about cocooning oneself from major challenges that one is not yet strong enough to deal with is a valid point. Like weight lifting, leave the heavy weights alone until you are trained to lift them.
So, sorry Ian, I can't really agree with the main theme of your blog. There are, I believe, similar false distinctions made between 'mindfulness meditation' and 'stillness meditation' - as if mindfulness does not help to bring one to stillness - which I have often heard mentioned by various people."
I don't distinguish mindfulness from meditation, after all we have written a book on meditation using mindfulness. Nor do I distinguish meditation from living in the world ("coming out of the cocoon").
Mindfulness into Stillness meditation connects us with the inner cocoon of awareness, stillness and spaciousness that are our true nature. Connecting with this cocoon actually liberates the mind from some of the distinctions between self and other, inner and outer. The inner cocoon then opens us to the outer world, it travels with us to remind us that we are not separate, it provides us with resources of wisdom and compassion to be in the world.
Formal meditation helps to reconnect us with the inner cocoon which opens into life. The distinction between inner and outer is misleading and can be healed through meditation .
When you say "meditation is a way of getting to know the mind" it sounds a bit like a cognitive process.....I think of meditation as a way of abiding in our true nature. Out of that abiding insight comes as some illusions start to dissolve (healing comes out of the abiding as well). The Masters did not need to learn the wisdom teachings, or to learn discrimination. Their teachings are tools to guide us to the experience of our true nature (not tools for understanding)".
The issue for me remains as one of definition. Words are used to convey concepts. There is no doubt that the word for mindfulness, the concept of mindfulness, falls short of the experience. The best way to know mindfulness, as with meditation, is to practice it. Yet words are important and as linguists know, they change with time and usage. Linguists know that if a word is used incorrectly long enough its new and inaccurate meaning becomes correct through usage.
There is nothing wrong with this; this is how language progresses. The point again is that it does seem to me that mindfulness is being used increasingly as a generic word to cover a whole lot of things that its traditional definition and the commonly quoted one of Jon Kabat-Zinn does not include.
What more traditionally was called meditation, these days is commonly being called mindfulness. While this may be politically useful in arenas where mindfulness is a more acceptable word than meditation, in my view it creates more than just a language problem; it helps to foster a misguided conception of what mindfulness is, and potentially generates confusion in beginners and the experienced alike.
Because words do have power, I believe there may be the need to come up with a new modern definition of mindfulness, or else a new word to describe all this other stuff that goes with it.
Next week, some personal reflections on the year as 2010 draw to a close, and some thoughts and plans for 2011.

Watch him skate under a bunch of cars like it ain't no thang.
Today in children who are more accomplished at life than you: 6-year-old Gagan Satish from India, who can fold his body completely flat and then roller skate under limbo sticks and cars.
Satish's parents bought him skates for his third birthday, and after realizing how much natural talent he had, sought out a coach for him. Coach Yatish Gowda said no at first, but then changed his mind, probably because Satish is an adorable little nugget on wheels. He set a record by skating under 39 cars earlier this year, but is currently training two hours a day so that he can soon skate under 100 cars. NBD.

Q: WebView take very long time when close internet connection during loading page i worked on android application and i have a webview that show some web content for user.
Now i try to do some integration test cases in order to ensure that all things are correct.
One of this test cases is to turn off the internet connection during loading the page and check the behaviour.
This is my code:
        @Override
    public void initializeWebViewCallbacks() {
       if(!InternetHelper.isThereInternetConnection(AuthFragment.this.context()))
       {
           AuthFragment.this.showRetry();

               @Override
               public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                   super.onReceivedError(view,errorCode,description,failingUrl);
                   // Handle the error
                   wv_auth.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                   AuthFragment.this.hideLoading();
                   AuthFragment.this.showRetry();
               }

               @TargetApi(android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
               @Override
               public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest req, WebResourceError rerr) {
                   // Redirect to deprecated method, so you can use it in all SDK versions
                   onReceivedError(view, rerr.getErrorCode(), rerr.getDescription().toString(), req.getUrl().toString());
               }

           });
       }

    }

When i turn off the internet connection during loding the page, The progress circle still running for about 30 minutes and break point didn't go through onReceivedError(...)  so i can't handle this case, any suggestions??

A: I think it's an issue with loadUrl(..) method.
I try every possible solution and also follow all solutions here: SO question but with no chance.
I notice that when you create the activity or fragment that host the webview every thing works correctly so i did a workaround by navigate to another intermediate blank activity for a 1 second then return back to this activity and by this i solve the issue.

Le Tre Corone - Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio. Literature, Doctrine, Reality
Time: Wed Nov 17, 2021, 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Location: Rome Global Gateway
Zygmunt G. Barański, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio. Literature, Doctrine, Reality, Cambridge, Legenda, 2020.
Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio: Literature, Doctrine, Reality is an important collection of nineteen essays that originally appeared between 1991 and 2017. Twelve essays are devoted to Dante, four to Petrarch, two to Boccaccio and one to Cavalcanti, offering an overarching exemplary record of Zyg Barański's studies in the field of medieval Italian literature and culture, spanning a great part of his career at the diverse universities at which he taught in the UK and the US. In close dialogue with the scholarly tradition on medieval Italian literature, the author explores how each of the tre corone self-fashioned their own identity and literary authority as they conceived new literary forms, testing the potentials and the boundaries of vernacular literature in fourteenth-century Italy.
Zygmunt G. Barański is Emeritus R. L. Canala Professor of Romance Languages and Literaures at the University of Notre Dame and Serena Professor of Italian Emeritus at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of numerous studies on Dante's work and its reception, on the medieval Italian literary tradition with particular focus on Cavalcanti, Petrarch and Boccaccio, on contemporary Italian literature, culture and cinema and especially Pasolini. Among his books: The New Italian Novel (with Lino Pertile) (1993); "Libri poetarum in quattuor species dividuntur". Essays on Dante and 'Genre' (1995); "Luce nuova, sole nuovo". Saggi sul rinnovamento culturale in Dante (1996); The "Fiore" in Context: Dante, France, Tuscany (with Patrick Boyde) (1997); Pasolini Old and New. Surveys and Studies (1999); Dante e i segni. Saggi per una storia intellettuale di Dante (2000); "Chiosar con altro testo". Leggere Dante nel Trecento (2001; Valle dei Trulli prize for literary criticism); Cambridge Companion to Modern Italian Culture (with Rebecca West) (2001); Petrarch and Dante. Anti-Dantism, Metaphysics, Tradition (with Theodore J. Cachey Jr.) (2009); Dante in Context (with Lino Pertile) (2015); The Cambridge Companion to Dante's "Commedia" (with Simon Gilson) (2019); Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio. Literature, Doctrine, Reality (2020).
In dialogue with the author, Giuseppe Ledda (Università di Bologna) e Anna Pegoretti (Università Roma Tre)
The meeting is part of the series Le Tre Corone: testi e contesti dell'Italia medievale, co-sponsored by the Notre Dame Rome Global Gateway, the Center for Italian Studies and Devers Family Program in Dante Studies at Notre Dame, the Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, the Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa, and is coordinated by Luca Lombardo (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia) and Chiara Sbordoni (Notre Dame Rome Global Gateway).
