Thick smog hits Beijing; dozens of flights canceled

The pollution levels in China's capital have gotten so bad that sometimes airline pilots lose visibility, and there has been a surge in respiratory illnesses. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

By Louise Watt, The Associated Press

Thick, off-the-scale smog shrouded eastern China for the second time in about two weeks Tuesday, forcing airlines to cancel flights because of poor visibility and prompting Beijing to temporarily shut factories and curtail fleets of government cars.

The capital was a colorless scene. Street lamps and the outlines of buildings receded into a white haze as pedestrians donned face masks to guard against the caustic air. The flight cancellations stranded passengers during the first week of the country's peak, six-week period for travel surrounding the Chinese New Year on Feb. 10.


The U.S. Embassy reported an hourly peak level of PM2.5 ? tiny particulate matter that can penetrate deep into the lungs ? at 526 micrograms per cubic meter, or "beyond index," and more than 20 times higher than World Health Organization safety levels over a 24-hour period.

Liu Peng, an employee at a financial institution in Beijing, said he will keep his newborn baby indoors.

A man wears a mask as he walks through the thick haze on Beijing's Tiananmen Square on Jan. 29.

"It's really bad for your health, obviously," Liu said. "I bike to work every day and always wear a mask. The pollution in recent years is probably due to the increase in private cars and government cars."

Visibility was less than 100 yards in some areas of eastern China, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. More than 100 flights were canceled in the eastern city of Zhengzhou, 33 in Beijing, 20 in Qingdao and 13 in Jinan.

Cars drive along a street on a hazy day in Beijing on Jan. 29.

Every year, China's transport system bursts at the seams as tens of millions of people travel for the Lunar New Year holiday, in the world's largest seasonal migration of people.

Ren Haiqiang, a bank worker in his early 30s, said he had booked tickets to fly out of Beijing on Thursday to visit family in the coastal city of Dalian, but now worried about flight cancellations.

"Traveling over the holiday is already a huge hassle, along with all the gift-giving and family visits. We thought flying would be the best way to avoid the crush, but if the weather continues like this we'll be in real trouble," Ren said as he waited in line at a bakery in downtown Beijing.

Beijing's city government ordered 103 heavily polluting factories to suspend production and told government departments and state-owned enterprises to reduce their use of cars by a third, Xinhua said. The measures last until Thursday.

Beijing's official readings for PM2.5 were lower than the embassy's ? 433 micrograms per cubic meter at one point in the afternoon? but even that level is considered "severe" and prompted the city government to advise residents to stay indoors as much as possible. The government said that because there was no wind, the smog probably would not dissipate quickly.

Patients seeking treatment for respiratory ailments rose by about 30 percent over the past month at the Jiangong Hospital in downtown Beijing, Emergency Department chief Cui Qifeng said.

"People tend to catch colds or suffer from lung infections during the days with heavily polluted air," he said.

Air pollution has long been a problem in Beijing, but the country has been more open about releasing statistics on PM2.5 ? considered a more accurate reflection of air quality than other pollutants ? only since early last year. The city hit its highest readings on Jan. 12, when U.S. Embassy readings of PM2.5 reached as high as 886 micrograms per cubic meter.

Celebrity real estate developer Pan Shiyi, who has previously pushed for cities to publish more detailed air quality data and who is a delegate to Beijing's legislature, called Tuesday morning for a "Clean Air Act." By late afternoon, his online poll had received more than 29,000 votes, with 99 percent in favor.

On Monday, Wang Anshun was elected Beijing's mayor after telling lawmakers the municipal government should make more efforts to fight air pollution, according to Xinhua.

Last week, he announced plans to remove 180,000 older vehicles from the city's roads and promote government cars and heating systems that use clean energy.

Canada lynx enjoying snow at the zoo

Suamico - The Canada lynx at the NEW Zoo in Suamico are enjoying the snow from Winter Storm Denise.

The Zoo has two lynx. They arrived nearly 4 years ago, from a private breeder in Minnesota.

Zoo director Neil Anderson says the Canada lynx are built for the heavy snow. They have longer legs than the bobcat. Lynx also have paws that are like built-in snowshoes. They have fur on the soles of their feet.

The differences mean that the Canada lynx is able to hunt in deep snow, and avoid competition for prey with bobcats and coyotes.

Yesh Atid's Rabbi Lipman - Yeshiva World News

[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

Now that the general election is behind us, Beit Shemesh resident American-born Rabbi Dov Lipman, who will be entering the 19th Knesset on the Yesh Atid list, speaks with community residents.

Rabbi Lipman?s popularity among many stems from the fact that in the eyes of the Israeli political scene he is a member of the chareidi community yet his does not appear as harsh in their eyes as Israeli chareidim may appear. Some chareidim however refuse to view him as a chareidi, perhaps a matter of semantics, but nonetheless an issue that carries some weight in these post-election days. He has not earned a gold star from many chareidim after aligning himself with Lapid, but Lipman is not a stranger to taking a less than popular position in Beit Shemesh, a vocal advocate of moderation and a live and let live hashkafa in disputes between the chareidi and dati leumi residents of his city.

Rabbi Lippmann explains to neighbors that his party is ?opposed to extremism? and that the lineup consists of Ashkenazim, Sephardim frum and non-frum people, seeking to promote the issues at hand, the platform that earned the party 19 seats, not the ethnicity and personal lifestyle of the soon-to-be MKs but their willingness to address the issues at hand.

Lipmann remains a clear voice calling for moderation and daring to speak out against chareidi coercion, as was seen in his statements during the stormy protests in Beit Shemesh surrounding a dati leumi school bordering a chareidi neighborhood, with chareidi zealots attacking elementary school students for not meeting their self-defined tznius standards.

See the MK-elect as he visits with friends in Beit Shemesh following elections.

GOP lawmakers see automatic cuts as leverage

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Driven by frustration over deficits and debt, Republican conservatives are pushing a politically risky move to permit painfully large automatic spending cuts to strike the Pentagon and domestic programs alike in an effort to force Democrats into making concessions on the budget.

It's a remarkable turnabout from last year, when GOP leaders were among the loudest voices warning of dire consequences for the military and the economy if more than $100 billion worth of across-the-board cuts were allowed to take effect. Now, even as defense hawks fume, Republicans see the strategy as their best chance of wringing cuts from costly government benefit programs like Medicare that President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies have been reluctant to touch.

The move is fraught with risk. Some $43 billion would be cut from the Pentagon budget between March and October if battling Democrats and Republicans can't agree on an alternative. Equal cuts would hit domestic programs, although the health care programs that are major drivers of future deficits are largely exempt.

"In terms of the political dynamic here, defense spending is only 20 percent of the federal budget, but it's taking 50 percent of the cuts, which means it's going to be hitting the Republicans a lot harder than the Democrats," said defense analyst Loren Thompson. "Most of the nation's big military bases and many of its defense factories are located in Republican strongholds like the South, so Republicans are hurting themselves more than the Democrats by insisting on going forward with sequestration."

The automatic cuts, known as a "sequester" in Washington-speak, are the penalty for the failures of the 2011 deficit "supercommittee" and subsequent rounds of budget talks to produce an agreement.

Along with the threatened expiration of Bush-era tax cuts, the sequester was a major element of the so-called fiscal cliff crisis that gripped the country as the new year dawned. While most of the tax cuts - except for upper-bracket income - were made permanent, negotiators could only agree on a two-month reprieve to the sequester after finding $24 billion in replacement money that reduced this year's round of cuts from $109 billion to $85 billion. Eight more years of cuts, totaling almost $1 trillion, still remain.

Last year, Republicans issued dire warnings of the impact the cuts would have. Defense hawks like Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., made campaign tours in political swing states like Virginia and Florida lambasting the cuts, warning that the reductions would hollow out the Pentagon and cost many thousands of jobs. They reminded voters that the sequester was an idea developed by Democrats during 2011 negotiations on increasing the government's borrowing cap.

"The White House is responsible for the `sequester' that threatens our national security," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in September. "History has taught us we can't continue with policies that jeopardize our defenses or weaken our economy."

So twice last year, House Republicans passed legislation to replace this year's round of cuts with alternatives like curbing the growth of food stamps and requiring federal workers to contribute more to their pensions.

Democrats instead put their faith in year-end, high-level budget talks involving President Barack Obama and Boehner, but those talks failed. Later, successful negotiations between Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., solved the tax issue but produced only the two-month fix for the sequester.

This year's GOP move to embrace the sequester was hatched at a recent strategy retreat for House Republicans in Williamsburg, Va. Much of the retreat was devoted to coming up with a way to solve a more urgent issue: finding a way to get the tea party-infused House to again increase the debt limit and prevent an economically devastating first-ever default on U.S. obligations. The party agreed on a strategy to punt the debt dilemma until May or later and instead use the sequester as leverage in the budget debate.

A senior House GOP aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss party strategy, said some Republicans see the sequester as their best opportunity to achieve spending cuts. That strategy, however, is rife with potential to split open the Republican Party and pits the defense hawks against the tea party.

"The world is blowing up. I can't imagine a more devastating signal to send to the Iranians and our enemies and our friends alike than to dismantle the military," Graham said. "In a body that's known for doing pretty dumb things, this to me wins the prize."

Such concerns, however, have been overruled by Republicans frustrated by a recent loss to Obama on the issue of higher tax rates and a $60 billion disaster aid bill to address Superstorm Sandy. The reality of the political firestorm that is sure to hit if the sequester kicks in doesn't seem to be a concern.

"These are the only cuts that we've been able to get from the president, and absent any other negotiations, I understand those who say, `We're loath to give that up unless we come up with some substitute,'" said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. "It's bad policy, there's no question about it. But the president could be part of the solution, and right now he's AWOL."

How people would actually react should the across-the-board cuts hit is anyone's guess. But it's not lost on anyone with institutional history that Republicans got creamed in a similar situation in 1995-96 when they sparked a partial government shutdown under the leadership of House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.

"I'm just flabbergasted," said Scott Lilly, who was the top Democratic staffer on the House Appropriations Committee during the Gingrich shutdown. "The way they've played it, they're going to get a huge part of the blame because they're just openly accepting" the sequester.

In many ways, the consequences of any sequester would be more severe than the partial shutdown of 1995-96. Then, many government agencies were exempt, including most of the Pentagon and other agencies devoted to protecting life and property, like the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard.

With Pentagon uniformed military salaries exempt, the cuts to the rest of the agency are more severe, with big impacts on defense contractors and civilian Pentagon workers.

"I just don't think there's any appetite at this point in the Republican conference to `fix' the sequester," said GOP lobbyist Jack Howard. "You have to wait until it actually hits, I think. And then we'll see."

On Tuesday, Senate Majority Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the warring parties should try to figure it all out, but he set up a clash with Republicans over using new taxes to fix the problem.

Reid said the sequester cuts should be replaced "in short increments" with spending cuts and revenues like repealing oil and gas subsidies, which were discussed in earlier negotiations.

"There are many low-hanging pieces of fruit out there that Republicans have said they agreed on previously," Reid said. There's a lot of things we can do out there, and we're going to make an effort to make sure that there is - sequestration is - involves revenue."

Protests mark anniversary of landmark abortion ruling

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans on Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, even as battles over the contentious issue have largely shifted from the federal courts to statehouses.

Dozens of protesters braved frigid temperatures to gather in front of the Supreme Court on the anniversary of the landmark January 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal in the first three months of pregnancy. With a companion ruling, the decision declared abortion a constitutional right.

Anti-abortion activists spread 3,300 flowers out on the Washington sidewalk to represent the number of abortions they said took place daily in the United States.

Away from Washington, about two dozen abortion rights activists rallied in front of Mississippi's sole abortion clinic, the Jackson Women's Health Organization in Jackson.

The supporters, including the National Organization of Women, said they wanted to celebrate the ruling and show that the fight to preserve women's rights continued.

"Choice is good," said Alex McInick, 18, a student at Millsaps College in Jackson. "Nobody should be able to tell someone what they should do to their body."

Across the street, Roy McMillen, 69, an anti-abortion activist, said the procedure led to social ills that cost everyone.

Surrounded by graphic posters of aborted fetuses, McMillen said, "The worst thing that happened in the 20th century was the advent of birth control and the legalization of abortion."

The protests and others this week come in the wake of a Pew Research Center poll which found that most Americans remained opposed to overturning the decision, with opinions little changed over two decades.

"Millions of women have been bruised and diminished. Our country has violated the principles on which it was founded," the Reverend Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition told reporters outside the Supreme Court.

Mahoney was nearly drowned out by a handful of abortion rights activists who chanted "Abortion without demand and without apology" and profanity-laced slogans.

Mahoney said the anti-abortion movement had been energized by the re-election of President Barack Obama, who favors abortion rights and backs Roe v. Wade.

Despite his abortion rights stance, Obama has been a "silver lining" since he had helped move anti-abortion campaigns to the state and local level, away from federal policy-makers, he said.

The highlight of Washington events is expected to be a March for Life rally near Capitol Hill on Friday, with former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum among the scheduled speakers.

The rally, which has drawn thousands of protesters in past years, will be followed by a march on the Supreme Court building.

Separate prayer services also are scheduled in Washington by the National Pro-Life Religious Council and the U.S. Catholic bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities.

Among other anti-abortion events, the conservative Family Research Council is hosting on Friday its yearly ProLifeCon, which gathers bloggers, activists and lawmakers.

Abortion rights campaigners have few Washington events scheduled around the anniversary, with NARAL Pro-Choice America promoting "Blog for Choice Day" on Tuesday.

The Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health and rights organization, said this month that 2012 brought the second-highest number of state-level restrictions, trailing only 2011.

"More than half of all U.S. women of reproductive age (15-44) now live in a state that is hostile to abortion rights, whereas fewer than one-third did a decade ago," the group said in a statement.

Recent Washington fights over reproductive rights have centered on Obama's healthcare law. The Senate in March rejected a Republican measure that would have let employers opt out of birth control coverage and other services on moral grounds.

Unique Education iPad App Launches in US for Grades K-12 ...


(PRWEB) July 07, 2011

A Paris-based startup, eduPad, has designed a unique technology that enables anyone to publish collections of interactive exercises to tactile learning apps for iPad. eduPad provides simple ways to integrate existing educational activities into popular handheld devices via web interfaces and/or file transfers. The standardized process requires no development, no upfront costs, and its attractive business models range from technology licensing to revenue sharing.

The eduPad solution is currently available for iPad. Android, iPod Touch, and iPhone versions will be released soon and will be included in the basic platform for publishers.

Each eduPad module covers one subject for one school year. eduPad apps typically gather between 1,500 and 6,000 exercises, creating by far the largest educational database in the Apple App Store. The exercises are stored on a local database on the device, resulting in an app that doesnt require an Internet connection and can be used anywhere ? especially in class. This independent functionality eliminates concerns over network issues, one of teachers most frequently cited and practiced reasons not to use IT technology in the classroom. Reference content is instead stored on cloud servers and synched with the apps on mobile devices in the background whenever an Internet connection is available, thus guaranteeing that the apps content is always up to date.

The eduPad solution includes advanced game dynamics and links to social networks, making the apps attractive and engaging to children and students.

eduPad has released 6 apps for iPad under its creative iTooch brand, available now in the App Store. ?We?re thrilled with the feedback we?ve received so far, especially from children, says eduPad.com co-founder J

Hertz partners with Transworld Company to grow outbound car ...

The new partnership between the world's largest general use car rental brand and Transworld will build upon the growing number of outbound Hertz car rentals from Kuwait, with the USA, Germany, France and Switzerland topping the list of global destinations for Hertz Kuwait customers in 2012.

Transworld has recruited an independent sales team which will operate as a dedicated resource to represent the Hertz brand for outbound car rental in Kuwait, providing a new level of service and support for the country's travel trade professionals making car rental bookings globally for their customers.

The move will increase Hertz product awareness among the travel trade and grow outbound sales by capitalising on Transworld's extensive international retail network to boost business from corporate customers and consumers.

"The Hertz brand is one of the most well known car rental brands globally and is instantly recognisable by millions of people," said Michel Taride President, Hertz International and Executive Vice President, Hertz Corporation.

"We have an assertive long-term outbound growth strategy for Kuwait which focuses on key destinations such as the USA and Europe. Having helped customers around the world for more than 90 years, this new partnership with Transworld Company builds upon the longstanding history Hertz has built in Kuwait."

"Providing a wealth of products for our customers has always been our aim and this partnership with Hertz allows us to widen the range of services we offer," said Cristiana Stefan, Hertz Manager, Transworld Company.

"We look forward to establishing Transworld as the face of the Hertz brand amongst the travel trade in Kuwait and building Hertz brand awareness among our customers, trade and corporate client portfolio."

While Europe and the USA remain among the most popular outbound destinations for Hertz Kuwait customers in 2012, the outbound GCC market witnessed the most growth year-on-year. Kuwaitis renting in Oman grew by 166 per cent, in Qatar by 150 per cent, and in the UAE by 55 per cent.

The new GSA appointment is the latest in a wave of fresh investment by Hertz Kuwait this year to improve its booking channels and customer service levels. In June, it launched a dedicated 24/7 English and Arabic customer call centre followed shortly in August by its own country domain website www.hertz.com.kw.

In November, Hertz Kuwait was awarded the coveted Superbrand status, further establishing the car rental company as a premier choice for both business and leisure travellers in the country.

Hertz's has a global portfolio of outbound products that can be easily booked via the travel trade, offering a global fleet of more than 500,000 vehicles, a leading airport market share in the USA and a presence at 69 airports in Europe.

Grow Your Business With These Social Media Marketing Tips ...

When you?re starting in social media, you need the most possible information when beginning. Although there is plenty of information out there, finding it all in one spot is hard. This is the only one you need to find the best advice.

Ask others to assist you on your social media campaigns if you need it. There are many professionals that would be capable of creating a strong social media campaign that will help you take advantage of this enormous market. This may be costly, but will be well worth the expense in the end.

An effective social media marketing strategy goes far beyond posting the occasional online advertisement. You can learn a lot about your potential customers through social networking. One of your goals should be to get your customers to view you as a real person and to interact accordingly. While your social media profile allows you to showcase your products and services, you should focus on using these sites as a means of managing customer relationships.

When using social media, resist the urge to make your messages long and drawn out. Readers are more apt to show interest in your message if it is short and easy to read, allowing them to spread the word to other users. Judicious image usage can dramatically cut down on how much text is really needed.

Make a meaningful profile with relevant content. Take time to write quality content, proofread and edit what you?ve written and ensure that your readers are engaged with you. You should also add powerful headlines and subheadings to make your content show up in the searches your customers do.

To entice consumers into reading what you have to say, come up with a catchy headline. For example, ask an interesting question that grabs their attention. Grab readers attentions by using words that stand out such as ?amazing? or ?special?. If you make people curious, they are likely to stay with what you saying or promoting instead of just glossing it over.

Update your social networking profiles regularly. Your customers want to know what is new and prefer to read fresh content. Your Facebook page should always have notice of your new blog posts. Your marketing efforts for this single blog will double because of this.

Be active with your Facebook fans. Be the first person to notice when someone posts a question or a comment on your page. You need to answer concerns, questions, and comments promptly and communicate with your fans on your profiles. When you do this, your friends and your customers will perceive you as being genuinely concerned about them and about your business.

Avoid using Twitter to post about subjects that are irrelevant to your product or industry. Most will view these quotes as filler, and will probably be annoyed rather than inspired. If you want to post something inspirational, post something you have said yourself.

Invite your friends, family and co-workers to your page to get your name out there. They may not be interested themselves, but they could be links to other potential clients and customers. It also helps to make people aware that your business exists.

Isolate your business oriented Facebook page from your own personal Facebook profile. You probably don?t want your followers to know too much about your personal life. Put your real name on your professional Facebook account and then use your initials on the personal account; you can add your friends and tell them who you are.

You should definitely think twice before you hire out a company dealing specifically in social media marketing. Many of these companies run fraudulent operations to scam inexperienced Internet marketing business owners. They use a lot of fake social media accounts which were made by registration bots and/or utilizing proxy servers. You will not have customers seeing your marketing though you are shown high view counts. Basically, the only thing you will be doing is spending money for false results.

Like was talked about in the beginning, you can help your business out the most by having good information. You will need a ton of good information regarding social media marketing, because it is so broad. Employ the techniques here, to be on your way to great success in your marketing efforts.

Little Mix: 'We wear the trousers in our relationships' | Sugarscape |

Sadly, they don't mean literally. We'd love to see Zayn in a skirt.


The Little Mix gals have proved just how fiesty they really are in their first ever US interview - revealing that when it comes to boyfriends, they wear the trousers.

Or as that line in 'Wings' goes: "If they give you sh*t, then just walk on by." Sorry, we thought that was quite clever.

Speaking to Seventeen after scoring a US record deal, Jesy said: "We all have boyfriends, we're not about letting boys take advantage of girls.

"We wear the trousers in our relationships; none of us have ever done anything crazy for a boy."

Oh Sam, Zayn, Jordan and Jordan - we hope you're listening.

That doesn't mean they're not all WELL IN LOVE though - Perrie went on to explain that their album DNA is actually all about falling for someone.

perrie edwards and zayn malik zayn and perrie

"When a girl first gets with a boy, that kind of romance makes you feel really giddy and happy," she said. "That's what DNA is about.

"Everything on the album is about our own experiences. We perform better when the lyrics mean something to us when we sing them."

There's no doubt in our minds that Pezza is one feisty lady, as our recent interview with her shows. 'I wouldn't mess me around, if I was a boy,' she laughs. Watch the video below and see for yourselves!

(AP) ? U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the leader of the world's largest military, met Pope Benedict XVI, the world's best known advocate for peace, at the Vatican on Wednesday.

Panetta was in the front row at Wednesday's weekly general audience in the Vatican auditorium. About 1,000 people were crowded into the room.

After the Pope addressed the gathering, Panetta and several staff members lined up to meet the pontiff, who gave them rosaries.

Panetta kissed the Pope's hand, and the Pope said, "Thank you for helping to protect the world."

The Pentagon boss responded, "Pray for me."

Panetta, a staunch Catholic, is in Rome as part of a weeklong swing across Europe, meeting with defense ministers to talk about ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Mali. This is expected to be Panetta's last overseas trip as Pentagon chief, as he long has planned to step down once his replacement is confirmed.

The pontiff has been outspoken in pressing for peace, issuing urgent appeals to end the violence in Syria and urging the international community to spare no effort in seeking a political settlement to the conflict. Most recently he used his annual New Year's speech at the Vatican to call for an end to Syria's civil war. He has also pushed for peace in the Middle East, saying he hopes Jerusalem will one day become "a city of peace and not of division."

Wednesday's Vatican visit is Panetta's third papal audience.

The Italian-American Panetta, who was born in California, made the first trip to Italy in the 1950s, traveling with his parents to visit his grandparents. During that trip, Panetta made his first visit to St. Peter's Basilica.

Panetta made subsequent trips to Rome as a member of Congress, and had an audience with Pope John Paul II when he traveled to Rome with then-President Bill Clinton. He later had a second audience with Pope John Paul II in Washington.

While director of the CIA, Panetta visited the Vatican, but did not see the Pope.

On his overseas trips, Panetta often will go to Catholic mass at a local church.

Panetta, who often works his Italian ancestry into his speeches, told reporters traveling with him that this visit to Italy has a "lot of tremendous personal meaning for me, since I'm the son of Italian immigrants." He often talks about his parents' decision to come to America so that they could provide a better life for their children.

Pastaworks Closes Mississippi Store - - Portland Food and Drink

From the PR, with a few comments at the bottom -

There are some changes a-foot, starting with the closing of the Mississippi store. Though this location debuted in 2009 when the economy was in a full nose-dive, it steadily found its footing and gained new customers.

Our founder and owner, Peter de Garmo, and second-generation co-owner, Kevin de Garmo, have decided to focus their energies on the flagship Hawthorne location, its offshoot eating establishment, Evoe, and the Westside location within City Market NW. Bucking the trend to expand, expand, expand ? the de Garmo?s want to continue to hone the intimate food shopping experience that Pastaworks began in 1983.

The Mississippi store will be closing as of today, Tuesday January 15th. Any gift certificates that were issued from the Mississippi location can be used at the Hawthorne store (including Evoe) and Pastaworks at City Market (for Pastaworks products only).

We want to thank all of our Mississippi customers. It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to see you soon at our other locations.

This closing is interesting because of what it hints at about the much?heralded?Mississippi avenue. After a huge boom in development over the past five years or so, is the neighborhood running out of steam? With so many homes in the area, why didn?t the store thrive? Was it too upscale? Expensive? Perhaps the New Seasons store opening nearby? It is something to think about, and makes me wonder about the viability of the area. Personally, I stopped going to the neighborhood about the time that huge apartment building went in, as I thought it ruined the feel of the street.

"I have a wide-range of food experience - working in the restaurant industry on both sides of the house, later in the wine industry, and finally traveling/tasting my way around the world. Whether you agree or disagree, you can always count on my unbiased opinion. I don't take free meals, and the restaurants don't know when, or if, I am coming."

Where there's smoke or smog, there's climate change

Jan. 15, 2013 ? In addition to causing smoggy skies and chronic coughs, soot -- or black carbon -- turns out to be the number two contributor to global warming. It's second only to carbon dioxide, according to a four-year assessment by an international panel.

The new study concludes that black carbon, the soot particles in smoke and smog, contributes about twice as much to global warming as previously estimated, even by the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

"We were surprised at its potential contribution to climate," said Sarah Doherty, a University of Washington atmospheric scientist and one of four coordinating lead authors. The silver lining may be that controlling these emissions can deliver more immediate climate benefits than trying to control carbon dioxide, she said.

The paper was made freely available online Jan. 15 in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres.

Some previous research had hinted that models were underestimating black-carbon emissions, Doherty said, from such things as open burning of forests, crops and grasslands, and from energy-related emissions in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Black carbon's role in climate is complex. Dark particles in the air work to shade Earth's surface while warming the atmosphere. Black carbon that settles on the surface of snow and ice darkens the surface to absorb more sunlight and increase melting. Finally, soot particles influence cloud formation in ways that can have either a cooling or warming impact.

The report surveyed past studies and included new research to quantify the sources of black carbon and better understand its overall effect on the climate.

Doherty was executive director of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project in 2009 when policy groups were seeking better information on the benefits of reducing black-carbon emissions. The scientific body undertook a comprehensive assessment, supported by IGAC and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

"Because of a lack of action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the policy community is asking what else we can do, particularly to help places like the Arctic that are melting much more quickly than we had anticipated," Doherty said. "We hope reducing black-carbon emissions buys us some time. But it doesn't replace cutting back on CO2 emissions."

While carbon dioxide has a half-life of 100 years, black carbon stays in the atmosphere for only a few days.

The authors investigated various sources of black carbon to see which reductions might have the most short-term cooling impact. Regulating emissions from diesel engines followed by replacing some wood- and coal-burning household stoves, authors find, would have the greatest immediate cooling impact.

"If you're just thinking about impact on climate, you would want to be strategic about which sources you cut back on," Doherty said. "We looked at the overall impact because some of these sources also emit associated particles that can have counteracting effects."

Black carbon contributes to climate change in the mid to high latitudes, including the northern United States, Canada, northern Europe and northern Asia, as well as affecting rainfall patterns of the Asian Monsoon.

The report incorporates data that Doherty and co-author Stephen Warren, a UW professor of atmospheric sciences, gathered between 2007 and 2009 to measure soot on Arctic snow. Calculating black carbon deposits in the Arctic is difficult, so data are essential for testing and correcting models.

First author Tami Bond, now at the University of Illinois, earned a doctoral degree at the UW in 2000 that combined engineering, chemistry and atmospheric science to measure emissions from burning that have atmospheric importance.

"Mitigating black carbon is good for curbing short-term climate change, but to really solve the long-term climate problem, carbon dioxide emissions must also be reduced," Bond said.

In related research, Doherty, Warren and UW graduate student Cheng Dang will travel next month to Colorado, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and elsewhere to collect snow samples and investigate black carbon's effects on North America's Great Plains.
