\] is positive for space-like-separated points \(x,y\). It means that the values of the fields at these points, \(\Phi(x)\) and \(\Phi(y)\), tend to have the same sign. Why? The vacuum is full of random oscillations of fields which is the reason why our measurements (of the values of the fields) tend to have somewhat random outcomes; it's quantum mechanics, stupid. Note that the fields and their time derivatives can't be both strictly zero because that would violate the uncertainty principle.

" Last year Duke sought permission from the North Carolina Utilities Commission to classify two of its coal-fired power plants as renewable facilities, because the company wants to burn a combination of wood chips and coal at the plants. NCUC determined the renewables statute allowed that wood derived from whole trees in primary harvest is a biomass resource and thus a renewable energy resource, and therefore approved Dukes application. Environmental Defense Fund and the NC Sustainable Energy Association with Southern Environmental Law Center providing legal help challenged the ruling, and the Court of Appeals sided with NCUC and Duke"

One of my most illuminating discussions was with a senior Israeli military intelligence officer whom I had first met in 2007. He told me he saw both good and bad news regarding the Palestinians. The good news: "There is cooperationtactical, military, and with civilian infrastructure,"and "the PA has established order with troops trained in Jordan." The bad news: "We cannot implement peace because does not have Gaza. . . . The PA is not capable of taking back Gaza unless we do it for them, which we don't want." Reclaiming Gaza is indeed a necessary step for any Israeli-Palestinian agreement to take hold. But both Israeli and Palestinian optimists argue that it need not be the first step.

Malaria is nothing new to Nairobi. Outbreaks occurred there in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. What got malaria "under control" there as well as in other areas, including parts of the United States, was the introduction of DDT after World War II. The World Health Organization specifically credited DDT use for preventing a malaria epidemic from reoccurring there after a flood in the early 1960s. But after DDT use stopped due to environmental pressure, malaria returned in many places where it had been nearly eliminated, such as Sri Lanka. And DDT was banned before a malaria eradication program could be launched for most of southern Africa, where the disease now kills to million a year. In fact, the World Health Organization recently just reversed its long-held policy and now encourages DDT use there to combat malaria.
Alexander and her team developed a resilience-measuring index for human responses that examined certain long-term security indicators, including economic stability, human health conditions, adult education levels, social connectedness, environmental health, and food and nutrition security. The researchers then tracked those indicators as different weather-related events naturally occurred.

Lawfare writ large. The problem is that while trying to quash this ridiculous subpoena, other groups and individuals will be silenced, or at least, have their First Amendment rights curtailed by this bullying.
But the most remarkable thing is this. Whenever you find a man who says he does not believe in a real Right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later. He may break his promise to you, but if you try breaking one to him he will be complaining Its not fair before you can say Jack Robinson. A nation may say treaties do not matter, but then, next minute, they spoil their case by saying that the particular treaty they want to break was an unfair one. But if treaties do not matter, and if there is no such thing as Right and Wrong- in other words, if there is no Law of Nature-what is the difference between a fair treaty and an unfair one? Have they not let the cat out of the bag and shown that, whatever they say, they really know the Law of Nature just like anyone else?
CEI General Counsel Sam Kazman said, "CEI is going forward with our motion for sanctions because Walker's withdrawal only strengthens our claim that this subpoena was a constitutional outrage from the very beginning, violating our right to free speech and our donors' right to confidentiality, and threatening the right of all Americans to express views that go against some party line. This subpoena was an abuse of process, plain and simple, and we're determined to see that Walker faces sanctions for his illegal actions that he refuses to recognize."

There are things that could be done longer term to make this problem easier to fix, but New York is not known for being bright about such things. For example, YOU could waive union rules and licensing rules during disasters and allow crews from other States free license to join in the repairs. (There have been news reports of crews turned back for not having union cards, for example). YOU could change the permitting and building codes such that large buildings do not have their electrical switch rooms below grade, where a minor storm surge results in a flooded and destroyed electrical room. Or just dont let so much be built on sand bars and coastal flood plains. (YOU can change the building codes)

EPA's reform recommendations and the Bush administration's Clear Skies Initiative would fix some of the biggest problems encountered by an aging, inefficient, and expensive environmental regulatory program. Replacing the NSR program as it affects utilities with the Clear Skies Initiative is a step in the right direction, though judgment must be reserved until legislation for the Initiative is made public.

Farther downriver, the universities that support learned research and hire scientists to conduct it depend upon federal and state agencies (again from us). To compete for that money they must address topics that are recognized by the orthodox mainstream as being very important. Only then can they hire and produce people who write successful proposals to support staff to do the research to prepare the papers that get published in the respected journals.
Early action crediting stirred up controversy because it was a strategy to mobilize lobbying for cap-and-trade. Emission-reduction credits worth peanuts or nothing at all in a free market can be worth millions in a carbon-constrained market. Thus every early actor has an incentive to lobby for a cap.
Thanks to Donald Mitchell and Scott Scarborough for pointing this out.

Mississippi Republican Roger Wicker this week plans to introduce a Senate bill targeting U.S. EPAs decision to increase the amount of ethanol allowed in gasoline from 10 percent to 15 percent, according to a spokesman for the senator.
The NSR law was written to apply to new sources only if they exceed threshold levels established in the NSR regulations, and to existing major sources only if they are undergoing modifications that result in significant net increases in emissions.5 The expectation was that older plants would eventually be phased out and newer, cleaner, plants would take their place. This "grandfathering" of existing sources of emissions was driven partly by politics, to be sure, but also by economics and common sense.
"Slavery and abortion are the two most horrendous things this country has done, but when you think about the immorality of wild, lavish spending on our generation and forcing future generations to do without essentials just so we can live lavishly now, it's pretty immoral."

But is biology the most reliable source of information on bushfire? Biologists usually use statistical induction, which is a useful tool, but can be misused. Logical blunders have been noticed in refereed natural science journals. Could the broader scope of philosophy help us to get closer to the truth? History, and practical experience, can be astringent cross checks on findings by the scientific method, or a version thereof.
One of the unfortunate consequences of the globalization theology of the 1990s has been the withering away of geopolitical thinking in the West. This eclipse of geopolitics is not totally negative, to be sure, for as one pundit put it, "few modern ideologies are as whimsically all-encompassing, as romantically obscure, as intellectually sloppy, and as likely to start a third world war as the theory of "geopolitics.'"21
At the same time, political consultants focus the bulk of their energies on a two-prong strategy for driving the base voters one way or the other both making sure that your party's base is energized and that the other party's base is depressed. The obvious fallout is that the issues that dominate are the ones that excite or infuriate the bases abortion, same-sex marriage, guns, immigration and the language used to whip up the bases is harsh and extreme. All this does even more to turn off voters in the middle.Other countries like Australia have ameliorated this dynamic by implementing mandatory attendance at the polls Down Under, if one does not show up, even to cast a ballot for "none of the above," a fine of roughly $15 is imposed. The result has been turnout of 90 percent or more. High turnout is nice in and of itself. But Australian politicians of all stripes say that the main impact has been to turn the campaign, the issues and the discourse away from the extremes and toward the persuadable voters in the middle.

My one regret is that I could not listen to the presentations of all seventy-three of the distinguished speakers. Tracks were set up from which conference participants could select those speakers they wished to hear based on their interests. Four tracks were available at each of the five sessions, three on Monday and two on Tuesday. Two of tracks were devoted to Science and one track each to Economics and Public Policy. Each of the four tracks in every session featured either three or four guest speakers. With this in mind, as a participant who attended all five of the sessions, I was limited to hearing, at the most, seventeen of the featured speakers. Additionally, however, there were two keynote speakers at Sunday's opening supper and two each at breakfast and lunch on both Monday and Tuesday.

The Obama Administration announced on Thursday the final rules for new fuel economy standards. By 2016, passenger cars and light trucks (SUVs and pickups) will have to achieve an average of 35.5 miles per gallon. At 36 mpg, the two-seater Smart Car is one of the few current models that already surpasses the average required. These new rules are an amalgam of what Congress mandated in the 2007 anti-energy act and new EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act derived from the Endangerment Finding. As my CEI colleague Marlo Lewis points out in a comprehensive analysis , the new fuel economy rules will trigger a regulatory cascade under the Clean Air Act. CEI sent out a press release criticizing the new rules from several angles. Lawsuits are sure to follow.

If we measure the spins separately, we get either \(\ket{\uparrow\uparrow}\) or one of the three other options, and all these states are non-entangled! The non-entanglement is guaranteed already when we decide that we measure these "isolated properties" of the two subsystems. On the other hand, if we measure the total spin or something like that whose eigenstates are entangled states of the two spins, we're guaranteed to bring the wave function into an entangled state after the measurement.

Now, I don't mind wedge issues per sethough liberals have been decrying them for decades. Still, this is beyond the pale. Ginning up a lot of anger on both sides of the issue without any serious hope of success will in all likelihood send the signal that Washington still thinks it's all a big, unserious game. And that is precisely why we will get more laws like Arizona's and real immigration reform will become that much harder, if Washington ever tries to pursue it seriously.
And of course, the rise of independent work isn't just a boon to independent workers, either. It also allows businesses to find more targeted and better qualified talent to address their needstypically at lower costs. Rather than bringing someone in full-time, with benefits and a salary, a company can hire a consultant who's ideally suited to a particular project. And that consultant is likely to have more resources to tackle it than at any time before.
