Changing Service Models
This document discusses the services and resources available through a public library system, including access to 28 libraries and over 20 million items across various collections. It mentions specific services like meeting room access, labs for youth, teens and adults, gaming, and devices like the HP Slate and Apple iPad that are revolutionizing library service alongside computers and smartphones. The library also has no restrictions, free meeting room access, and possibly drive-up availability at the Ironwood Branch Library location.
CAR Email 6.10.02 (a)
The document summarizes a New York Times editorial and letter to the editor regarding President Bush's stance on climate change. The editorial criticizes Bush for dismissing a climate report by his own experts that found human activities are largely responsible for global warming. The letter defends Bush, saying his policies appropriately address the current scientific understanding of climate change by investing in research and programs to curb emissions.

1) Australia said it has not set a date for hosting the inaugural summit of the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Energy Development, dealing a setback to the US-backed effort.
2) The partnership was launched in July to develop clean energy technologies as a more effective alternative to the Kyoto Protocol, but critics see it as an attempt to undermine Kyoto.
3) While the summit was scheduled for November in Adelaide, Australia, the environment minister said no date has been set, with a senior official saying it has been postponed until at least January due to lack of progress developing clean technologies.

Proyecto En Ingles
This project aims to build a hydraulic model of a penis to educate youth about proper condom use. The model will use hydraulic and electrical systems to demonstrate how to correctly put on a condom. It is an educational tool meant to inform youth about safe sex practices and disease prevention in a hands-on way. The summary provides a high-level overview of the key aspects and goals of the project in 3 sentences.
Document- "Memorandum of Understanding between Semiconductor Industry Associa...
The document summarizes an agreement between the EPA and Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) to reduce emissions of perfluorocompounds, potent greenhouse gases. Key points:
- EPA and SIA will sign an agreement for the semiconductor industry to cut emissions of perfluorocompounds by 10% from 1995 levels by 2010.
- Perfluorocompounds are used in semiconductor manufacturing but have high global warming potential and long atmospheric lifetimes.
- 21 semiconductor manufacturers representing the industry have agreed to monitor progress and adopt techniques to reduce emissions.
- An independent third party will collect and report emissions data from companies to EPA annually, without disclosing individual company data.
- EPA will support emission reduction
SERA Email 2.12.03 (c)
The Edison Electric Institute and electric power industry allies launched the "Power Partners" program to support President Bush's commitment to slowing and eventually reversing the growth of US greenhouse gas emissions. Power Partners is a voluntary initiative where the electric power sector will work with the Department of Energy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector by 3-5% over the decade through projects like natural gas generation, clean coal technology, nuclear energy, renewables, efficiency programs, and international partnerships. The program aims to build on past success from voluntary partnerships to address climate change.

The document discusses agriculture in Colombia, which is regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. According to official figures, 64% of land is owned by 17,670 owners while over half the country is owned by just 0.04% of the population. Agriculture in Colombia is characterized by monocultures of crops like coffee, sugarcane, bananas, sorghum, maize, rice, oil palm, potatoes and cassava depending on the region's climate and terrain. The general purpose is to help farmers in their agricultural work so it is less abusive and more productive. Specific objectives are to help farmers learn about available technology, expand knowledge of field technology, and provide assistance to farmers both in their work and
How web standards to save you time and money
At the J.Boye conference in Aarhus I was asked to speak about web standards. As this was a busniess audiance I was presenting to, I decided to give a business case as to why you should use standards. Working for the British Museum, I used the British Museum website for case studies and examples.

This document is an email forwarding a press release from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics regarding a study they conducted on 20th century climate change. The study reviewed over 200 previous climate studies from the past few decades and determined that the 20th century was not the warmest or most extreme in terms of weather over the past 1000 years. The study found evidence that the Medieval Warm Period (800-1300 AD) and Little Ice Age (1300-1900 AD) affected wide areas of the globe, and that many locations were warmer during the Medieval Warm Period than in the 20th century. The conclusions contradict claims that the 20th century was the hottest in the last millennium.

Klaus Toepfer, the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, welcomed a new climate initiative led by the United States to work with Australia and Asian countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He said developing countries need efficient energy technologies to lift populations out of poverty without harming the environment. The US recognizes that dependence on fossil fuels is economically burdensome and that diversifying energy supplies with cleaner coal, renewables, and efficiency makes sense. However, the initiative does not replace legally binding emissions reductions under the Kyoto Protocol and more investment is still needed to help vulnerable countries adapt to climate change. Technological change as promoted by this initiative could stimulate industries and research to lead to cleaner energy systems, if it meaningfully reduces
Letter from American Public Power Association 1.17.03
The letter outlines public power's action plan to support the President's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity in the US economy by 18% by 2012. It details how public power can contribute through increasing hydropower capacity, developing other renewable energy sources, improving end-use and supply-side energy efficiency, supporting nuclear power, and undertaking sequestration and off-system mitigation projects. It provides examples of individual public power utility goals and pledges public power's commitment to working with the federal government to achieve emission reduction targets through credible and effective programs.

Interior Regulatory Reform Plan August 2011
The Department of the Interior (DOI) is undertaking a retrospective review of its existing regulations to make them more efficient, less burdensome, and more functional. As part of this process, DOI plans to review several significant regulations over the next two years, including oil and gas royalty valuation rules, endangered species act rules, and offshore energy safety rules. DOI seeks to simplify regulations where possible, reduce unnecessary burdens on industry and the public, and ensure decisions are based on sound science. Stakeholders will have opportunities to provide input throughout the review process.
Team is Family
Cory Miller discusses how he treats his team like family at iThemes in order to achieve extraordinary results. Some key aspects of how he fosters a family culture include ensuring everyone feels like they belong, that they can contribute value, and that the team is committed to supporting each other. This involves spending time together both in and outside of work to build relationships and a shared sense of purpose on their journey together. While an unconventional business approach, Miller argues it leads to outcomes better than traditional business methods that keep work and personal lives separate.

This email forwards two letters to the editor regarding the administration's climate change policy. The first letter, from EPA Administrator Christie Whitman, defends the administration's consistent position opposing the Kyoto Protocol and unified stance on climate policy. The second letter, from CEQ Chairman James Connaughton, states that the Climate Action Report and President Bush's policies appropriately address climate change given the current scientific uncertainties.
