California Global Warming Solutions Act (ab 32): an Introduction to Refrigerant Gas Management
(Thu Jan 22nd, 2009, by Daniel Stouffer)

How to stay ahead and address the early action requirements for Stationary Equipment Refrigerant Management to be included in updates to AB 32.The California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), first passed in 2006 with additional early actions taking effect in 2010, is a broad and comprehensive directive with the goal of reducing greenhouse gasses (GHGs) by approximately 25% by the year 2020. This objective of the early action stems from increases in carbon equivalent emissions in California since 1990. The intent of the legislation to reduce greenhouse gasses to their 1990 levels, thereby reversing 16 years of pollution in less than 14 years.As part of the California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) the Air Resources Board (ARB) has approved an early action measure to reduce high-global warming potential (GWP) greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by establishing new legislation and defining requirements related to improved monitoring of AC/HVAC systems, enforcement of regulations, reporting of refrigerant usage, and recovery, recycling, or destruction of high-GWP refrigerant gases.The greenhouse gasses (GHGs) as defined by the California's AB 32 are identical to those gasses identified in the Kyoto Protocol. These gases are already being regulated, monitored, and managed by many other countries around the World. In addition to carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the most widely known GHG, the following gasses are also defined as GHGs with high global warming potential (GWP) carbon equivalent emissions by the AB 32 legislation:* Methane (CH4): a byproduct of waste decomposition, and natural geological phenomena; the majority of methane is derived from natural gas drilling.* Nitrous Oxide (N2O): a pollutant created by industrial processes, motor vehicle exhaust, and industrial air pollutants reacting with the atmosphere; like methane, nitrous oxide can also be a product of waste decomposition in nature and agriculture.* Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6): a gas used for various electrical applications, including gas insulated switchgear. Sulfur Hexafluoride is also used for experimental applications.* Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs): a collection of commonly used refrigerant and aerosol gasses with a wide variety of other commercial applications. CFCs and HCFCs are considered Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs), as defined in title VI of the US Clean Air Act (Section 608).The California EPA's Air Resources Board (CARB) has developed a complex and highly detailed system of greenhouse gas management for refrigerant gasses, known as the Stationary Equipment Refrigerant Management Program, and stricter standards for new or existing refrigeration systems installation and ongoing maintenance. According to CARB this strategy includes careful monitoring of potential refrigerant gas leaks, improved record keeping and certification of personnel as well as specifications for PFC and HCFC recovery equipment.The proposed Stationary Equipment Refrigerant Management Program, which integrates two AB 32 early action measures, addresses the detailed monitoring and management of the PFCs and HCFCs noted above and includes tracking requirements for new and existing commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. Likely to be implemented by January, 2010, is the monitoring and management of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in large systems in the range of 2,000 pounds of refrigerant gas.CARB is charged with the monitoring GHGs and high GWP gasses, as well and the eventual development and enforcement of specific and quantitative new regulations covering carbon related emissions which refrigerant management with the tracking, reporting, cylinder management, and gas recovery for stationary refrigerant and air conditioning (AC) systems all becoming key integral parts.The CARB proposal could also involve fines for mismanagement of refrigerant record keeping, intentional venting of systems, and the inability to regularly submit the required refrigerant usage reports. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is an extension of the EPA and works to monitor and enforce the US Clean Air Act. Section 608 of the Air Act regulates refrigerant gas usage, leaks, recovery, and annual reporting.The overall intent of CARB's strategy is to monitor and reduce the introduction of man-made GHGs and high GWP gasses into the atmosphere, as called for in the California Global Warming Solutions ACT (AB 32) in effect since 2006 with tighter controls, monitoring, and overall regulations becoming enforceable by early 2010.Refrigerant gas monitoring, tracking, and management are important business planning considerations. Just like organizations manage assets, like a delivery truck, the consequences the release of high GWP gases, such as refrigerant gases, must be consider. Refrigerants cost money, harm the ozone and environment, and are subject to mandatory carbon emissions reporting. As organizations with AC/HVAC systems containing refrigerant gas of 50 pounds or more will soon find out, the effective monitoring, management of data, and systematic reporting of refrigerant usage will be key to business success in our emerging carbon economy.

Bromance is in the Air for Brody Jenner by ALIA JOCOB

Entertainment

Brody Jenner, cast member of hit reality show The Hills and half-brother of fellow reality star Kim Kardashian, will get to host his own reality program on MTV. Bromance, much like Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, pits a bunch of guys in a frat house against each other for the chance to become Brody’s new best bud. The son of Olympian Bruce Jenner and actress Linda Thompson gives his two cents on his experience taping the show: Some of the contestants have shed tears on-camera. "I did this whole sit-down with these guys which we called Broprah,” Jenner divulges. “I was sitting around and would say, 'OK, now tell me about...' and then all of a sudden it got to be like, 'Whoa!' We're uncovering some deep stuff. These big, grown guys are sitting around crying over being friends with a dude."
This isn’t to say, of course, that he didn’t get near-weepy himself. "We started to get into family things and everybody started crying. I'm sitting there and you know when everybody around you is crying, how do you not cry? It was hard not to. So there was one time I almost shed a tear."
The show also featured the token gay guy, although he left even before the first elimination round. The contestant claimed that the show turned out to be more of National Lampoon’s Animal House than the far more glamorous The Hills, which sorely disappointed him. “He was waxed and all ready to go,” Jenner quips, “but he thought he was going to meet Lauren Conrad."
Another draw of the show is the elimination segment itself, which is filmed in a hot tub. "It's kind of homoerotic and I love people saying that. I'm cool with my sexuality and the gender that I like and I have a beautiful girlfriend. That's why I feel so comfortable with having these awkward guy moments."
Besides Bromance and The Hills, Jenner has appeared in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which features his dad, step-mom and step-siblings, as well as the short lived reality series The Princes of Malibu, which starred him and his older brother Brandon.

An Introduction to the Sport of Golf by MICHAEL LYALL

Sports,Recreation & Leisure,Advice

Top sportsman and to a certain degree television, have a lot to answer for. They make playing sport look easy. The keen sports viewer watches in awe, certain that they too can emulate their idols.
None more so than with the game of golf, after all what could be more relaxing and simple than literally hitting a small ball around some golfing greens, then walking sedately after it and hitting it away again.
This is when the newbie golfer arrives at the golf clubhouse, convinced that he has chosen an easy sport hobby to indulge his fantasy sports hero role.
It comes as quite a shock when he suddenly discovers that he is unable to actually hit the ball and when he finally managed to achieve some contact, that darn little ball had the nerve to move backwards.
For some people this is just too much of an embarrassment and they leave the golf course, without giving any thought to the reasons for their poor performance. It is regrettable since, as with all sport, once the basics are learnt, enjoyment will follow.
The biggest obstacle to overcome is the realisation that you are not going to power that ball up into the air, whereby it flies at some outrageous speed and lands right by the flag. Golf is very much a mental game as well as a physical one.
When you start to play, hold back on your power swing. By keeping your eye on the ball, your body still, hands in line with the club head, drive the ball straight on. The club will lift your ball, not your swing. Move your feet closer together, this will help reduce the strength of your swing. The distance the ball will travel will depend on your corrected swing, not the power behind it.
It is at this stage that anyone with any serious interest in taking up the sport of golf should consider lessons. For a few lucky people, they may be able to play with friends and by watching and following their examples, manage to play a fairly decent game. The downfall to this strategy is that it is far too easy to copy other player’s mistakes; if you really want to improve your game then it is time to seek professional advice.
And so armed with new knowledge and understanding of how each club or iron performs; you learn how to use your body movements to perfect your swing, your head and mind now full of all the technical jargon you have digested, it is time to put all of this into practice.
Practice, practice, practice. Your local golf course will never play the same way, every day will be different. Aside from learning the basics of the sport, you now discover you must understand the different weather elements that will affect your game. Temperature, humidity, so many ways to alter the course and speed of the ball.
However by this stage you can be well assured that you are now totally hooked on the sport of golf, spending so many hours during the day working out how you can spend more time on lowering your handicap.

Nassfeld Ski Area, Austria, way more than slopes by ROBERT BELL
Sports

The green, as you may know, shows you all the nature (mountains, lakes, parks, reserves) in the area. If you're looking for mountains and nature in your next ski holiday, you won't want to miss what Nassfeld Austria ski resort and town has to offer you this ski season.
The Nassfeld Austrian ski resort is the southernmost ski area in Austria. Nassfeld is actually housed by the Carnic Alps and neighbors both Slovenia to the south and Italy to the east. If you drive from Calais during the winter ski season, it will take anywhere from 10-12 hours on the Salzburg-Villach tariff motorway. You'll have to drive to Carinthia (often called Kaernten), as this is the location of the Nassfeld ski arena and area. It will take about one hour from Klagenfurt. Both Tropolach and Sonnenalpe towns are considered part of the Nassfeld ski area. Both of these towns offer hotels at hand. The former, Tropolach, has the Millennium Express gondola while the latter, Sonnenalpe, is within the Italian border. Both, however, can get you to the hub of the Nessfeld ski area in no time at all.
The snow in Nassfeld Austria starts falling in late November with the ski season stretched until mid to late April (29th of November 2008 to 19th of April 2009). Nassfeld is the most southern ski arena in Austria and is located in the Alps. Snow is guaranteed; skiing is guaranteed; slopes are guaranteed; and, sun is guaranteed too. No matter the season, this part of the Alps in Austria is considered by some to be the sunniest areas in the whole country. And, even if the sun disappears and the moon casts its shadow, there is weekly floodlight tobogganing and night skiing, so you'll always have a chance to tackle your favored ski slopes.
The Nassfeld resort can be considered to go as low as 600 meters but typically is quoted at 1300 to 2000 meters. The Millennium Express gondola is over 6000 meters in length and may very well be the longest transporting gondola in all of Europe. You can hop on the Express at Tropolach (600 m) and ride to Madritsche (over 1900 m) in less than fifteen minutes. The Carnia downhill run is almost 8 km long and should only be attempted by intermediate and advanced skiers. In total, there are over 100 km of downhill runs and 30 lifts (transporting over 40,000 skiers per hour) to get you around.
As seems to be the theme in the Alps, intermediate skiers will get the most of these runs with a whopping 18 to choose from. Beginners and advanced skiers will have to master less with five and six respectively. There are a couple hundred snow cannons with slopes facing every direction of the compass rose. Additionally, there are well-marked cross-country routes and 300 km to ride and glide all day long. These turn into over 1000 km of hiking trails in the summer. There are two snowboard parks for snowboarders to get wild on. Some of the premier skiing in Nassfeld starts from Madritsche (1919 m), Rudnigsattel (1945 m), Gartnerkofel (2195 m) and Troghohe (2020 m).
Nassfeld ski area in Austria has way more than slopes to keep you satisfied on your ski holiday this winter. Ice skating or just running amok on Lake Weissensee will be a half- or full-day experience in itself. Lake Weissensee is the largest fully frozen lake in all of Europe. During certain parts of the ski season, the Lake presents ice hockey, ice-skating and ice golf on its nearly seven square kilometer of frozen lake. In addition to the Lake, adults and children alike can go snow tubing, snow biking, snow scootering, take sleigh rides, horse rides, toboggan rides or go for shoe walks, snow walks, snow hikes or floodlight skiing. One of the best apres ski venues includes the unforgettable Cube Nightclub, with DJs, bars, entertainers and some traditional music.
Nassfeld ski resort is neither the most expensive nor the cheapest Austrian ski resort. It's best to start early if you're going to buy a day pass and stay as long as you can. Most slopes shut down before 5:00 pm (1700 hrs). A one-day adult ski pass will cost around €38. A three-day ski pass for an adult will cost €108; a child will cost around €55. An adult season pass will cost around €330 and children will pay no more than €165. With lodging and food to think about, it may actually be cheaper to stay longer in Nassfeld, Austria. The ski area really caters to families with children. There's a daycare system in place that can actually keep an eye on toddlers for most of the day. You can ski in peace knowing you and your family is having the ski holiday of your dreams. O.B.S. company is currently working on Nassfeld skiing project. It represents possible Nassfeld accommodation and activities during Nassfeld winter vacations in Austria.. Visit Nassfeld Ski Area, Austria, way more than slopes.

A Proven Sports Betting System by JAY RENWICK

Gambling,Sports,Entertainment

In December 2007, I discovered a sports betting system that continues to blow my mind. I have to say that I was convinced from the start. It wasn't the first betting system I had come across but it was by far the most professional and content rich of all I had previously looked at. Of course, it could be one of two things; a genuine offer presented by a genuine man or a devious scam presented by an evil genius. I know both types exist but again, I had a good feeling about this one. I think the testimonial videos finally swayed me as they struck me as genuine, decent people vouching for a no nonsense betting system that apparently really does work.
The good news is that this system really does work and to be honest, there is no bad news. It revolves around the NBA however, it requires no knowledge of sport OR betting. The instructional E-book is very easy to understand and apply. I missed a quarter of the 07/08 NBA season and also missed a fair few of the bets due to not having internet access. I still made around 30 bets and accumulated around $3000 although I have to say I disobeyed the rulebook slightly and betted out of my league a number of times. Out of these 30 bets I lost only 1 and amazingly, the record for the entire season was 80 winning bets, suffering only 1 loss. Records from previous seasons are of similar stature, with only 8 bets lost over a 4 year period.
2003-04 season: 68 wins - 2 Losses 2004-05 season: 71 wins - 3 Losses 2005-06 season: 66 wins - 2 Losses 2007-08 season: 80 wins - 1 Loss
285 wins and only 8 losses is pretty impressive, and verifiable once you know how the system works. Because of my success in the 07/08 season, I decided to create a blog to chronicle my betting activity as new seasons play out. I include screen captures of my accounts and wage slips in an attempt to show people that there really is a winning system out there. At the time of writing this, we are a quarter of the way through the 08/09 season with a 15 win - 0 loss record, with no signs of slowing down.
Over the last 2 years, I have tried to get into the whole internet marketing thing and even though I know for sure that a lot of money can be made, I struggle to motivate myself. This is primarily due to the fact that most of it is incredibly boring. I look at this betting system as a long term investment and a genuine way to make money online. It's fun and exciting but more importantly, it is consistent and very powerful. With games to bet on all the time, the action never stops and the money keeps rolling in.

College football by ANDREW SMITH

Entertainment,Sports

College football has been called a pure game. The players are out there on the field playing for glory and school pride. They don’t get paid and many of them are hoping to get a shot at the NFL. College football has no salary cap and there’s nothing stopping a school from signing many top recruits in the country. In fact, a recent report showing the top high school possible recruits revealed that a strong majority had USC and Texas on their list of college choices. Good players want to play at a good school. As a result good schools get better and poor schools get worse. Year in and year out hear the names of top programs like Ohio State over and over.
College football is a freer game than the NFL. Coaches are not afraid to try trick plays and run the option. As a result, the points can really add up. One trap that many college football bettors that also bet the NFL fall into is handicapping the game as if it was the NFL. In the NFL, each and every player—no matter how bad they seem—is one of the top players in the entire football world. In college football, there are handfuls of NFL type players with scores of just average players. In the NFL, you would never see a spread between two teams in the 40s. However, it’s a common occurrence each week in college football. Yes, those favorite teams cover too. One aspect of the game that must be on any bettors mind is motivation. If the game features two bitter rivals, the game could be a hot contest no matter what the talent level. If nothing else, the worse team could remain closer to the favorite. It’s important to analyze the coaches as well. What type of coach does each team have? Does the coach like to run often? Does the coach like to fire away even when the game is won? Here’s an example.
For years Air Force was a team that would run the ball 80% of the time—effectively too. If they were playing a team that’s soft on the run, look out. By knowing the team’s game plan, you can forecast the outcome better. If Air Force were playing a poorer team, record wise, that had a really solid run defense, what would you do? If you were simply a college football handicapper that looks at wins/loses, you would most likely fail. In the pros, teams are more apt to adapt. If the run is not working, they go to the air. However, in college football, some programs are built a certain way and they stick to their game plan for the most part. If the team is built as a running powerhouse, they are going to keep at the run, because that’s all they can really do. The grand lesson here is to not look at college football like you would the NFL. While it’s football, it really is not the same game.

Martial Arts For Kids
Author: Frank Lucer

Children need an outlet through which they can participate in a physical sport like martial arts. Left to their own devices, they'll simply grab the remote, turn on the television, and waste hours watching inane shows. The irony is that once they're involved in karate, taekwondo, kung fu, Shotokan, or any other discipline, they usually enjoy themselves. The key is providing them with the opportunity.In this article, I'll describe the benefits of enrolling kids into martial arts classes and the role those classes play in developing a number of valuable traits. I'll also provide a few tips on choosing a style and finding an appropriate school.A Physical OutletThe most obvious benefit is physical fitness. A lot of kids have a tendency to be lazy if they're not driven or motivated to do something. Plus, children often eat a lot of junk food. If they don't have an outlet to perform physically, they can gain weight and become lethargic. Martial arts provides the outlet. It keeps them active, immerses them in a competitive environment, and builds their coordination and fitness in the process.There's an ancillary benefit. Research has shown kids who are physically active are also mentally active and prone to think creatively. While karate, kung fu, and other styles provide children with a physical workout, it also encourages them to think more clearly.Not Just For FightingParents - and sometimes kids - often mistake the martial arts for fighting and combat techniques. While the arts are useful for self-defense, the main value they provide has little to do with fighting. Most instructors agree that martial arts are most useful for developing physical fitness, coordination, self-esteem, and mental discipline. Some of the more obscure styles such as muay thai and pekiti tirsia are designed for combat and are unsuitable for most children. But, most of the traditional styles (for example, Wado-Ryu) are based upon respect and emotional self-control.Grace And RespectChildren learn to adopt, or neglect, the value of grace and respect at an early age. By the time they're in grade school, you'll start to notice the way they treat their peers and authority figures. This is a key benefit of martial arts. Many of the old-style techniques are based upon a deep respect for others. For example, if you observe a Shotokan sparring match, you'll see both participants kneeling and bowing in front of each other. It's a sign of grace and respect. After a few years of taekwondo or karate, children learn to express both in the way they treat other people.Choosing A Style And SchoolFirst, don't force a child to learn a specific style. Choose a few and let him decide for himself. If possible, visit 2 or 3 local schools to observe the environment and interview the owner. That way, you can get an idea regarding his teaching style. It's a good idea to involve your child in these interviews because he's likely to take things at face value. If he's uncomfortable with the instructor, find another.Just For KidsMartial arts classes for adults are much different than those designed for children. Both types of classes focus on developing physical and mental fitness, but kids also need an emphasis on building discipline, control, and self-confidence. In the end, it's not about achieving a black belt in a certain style or winning competitions (at least, in the beginning). It's about providing a physical outlet through which young people can learn a number of valuable traits that will last a lifetime.
