  • An electric car owner would have to drive at least 129,000km before producing a net saving in CO2. Many electric cars will not travel that far in their lifetime because they typically have a range of less than 145km on a single charge and are unsuitable for long trips. Even those driven 160,000km would save only about a tonne of CO2 over their lifetimes.
  • The British study, which is the first analysis of the full lifetime emissions of electric cars covering manufacturing, driving and disposal, undermines the case for tackling climate change by the rapid introduction of electric cars.
  • Britain's roads to increase from a few hundred now to 1.7 million by 2020.

  • $66 million over the next year giving up to 8,600 buyers of electric cars a grant of $7700 towards the purchase price. Ministers are considering extending the scheme.
  • The study was commissioned by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, which is jointly funded by the British government and the car industry. It found that a mid-size electric car would produce 23.1 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime, compared with 24 tonnes for a similar petrol car.
  • Emissions from manufacturing electric cars are at least 50 per cent higher because batteries are made from materials such as lithium, copper and refined silicon, which require much energy to be processed.
  • CO2 from producing an electric car rises to 12.6 tonnes, compared with 5.6 tonnes for a petrol car

ENG 102 HW1 National championship Alabama canceling classes

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • It seems that Alabama is making a pretty big statement by canceling classes, and it is that football is much more important than the classes being taught at the university.
  • Alabama decided to cancel classes starting on Wednesday, January 6th until Friday, January 8th in order to allow more fans to make their way out to California.
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    This article is prime example of how a school (Alabama) cares more about football than school by canceling classes so students could go support their team in the national championship In California. So for the students that are there for an education have to now have a more bunched up learning schedule until finals.

      What does this language accomplish?
  • With the Persian Gulf War long over, a Democrat in the Oval Office who's committed to withdrawing from Afghanistan and California taking the lead on fighting carbon pollution and switching to renewable energy, the Greens just don't have any hot-button issues they can use to attract or motivate voters.

      What's the primary appeal? Logos, pathos, or ethos?
  • That might change under a Mitt Romney administration -- and in the unlikely event the Greens could siphon off Democratic votes in large numbers in November, they could inadvertently bring such a disaster about.

      Pay attention to the conventions: Why capitalize "Green"? Also, what do you think about the conclusion?
  • California's Green Party should buckle its Birkenstocks and move on
    • Billy Gerchick

      Evaluate the title. Do you think it's effective? Also, as you read the article, consider the primary and secondary audiences and think about how this impacts them.
  • California's Green Party was born in 1991, during a flurry of liberal outrage against Bush's war -- the first Bush, that is, and his shortlived liberation action for Kuwait. California activists, with memories of Vietnam still floating among their 1THC-dulled synapses , saw the Persian Gulf War as a conflict led by a hated Republican president who was sacrificing American blood for oil -- and a Green movement that had been sputtering before war was declared suddenly took root. More antiwar and pro-environment than the Democratic Party at the time, it was, for a while, a fashionable protest party for the crunchy-granola set .

      This functions as a lead, but it also "frames" the issue, essential background information on the subject.

  • A board certified cardiologist has provided assurances that a person with a pacemaker can safely drive a hybrid.  
  • You should avoid coming within inches of the engine to avoid harmful complications
  •  Another concern of the hybrid car is the stealth nature and danger it may pose to the seeing impaired.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Electric cars are not new; they have been around since the 1800’s and were among the first vehicles ever built.
  • Studies suggest that the risk is real; just as real as the other EMF given off from other electrical devices we use every day including computers and cell phones.
  • One concern that has not been fully resolved is the electromagnetic field created and the possibility of certain cancers due to them.
  •  One such fear is the harm to people with pacemakers.

  • Grekos showed the successful engraftment of stem cells into damaged organs and subsequent regeneration of tissue.
  • Dr. Grekos also highlighted several case studies to illustrate his team's success with Adult Stem Cells. According to their findings, cardiac disease patients experience an average increase of 21% in ejection rates as well as measurable improvements in congestive heart failure class status, some in as little as one month post-treatment
  • Regenocyte Therapeutic is currently using Adult Stem Cells Therapy to treat Congestive Heart Failure, Cardiomyopathy, Peripheral Artery Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Kidney Disease, Ischemic Heart Disease, Pulmonary diseases (COPD, Pulmonary Fibrosis, and Pulmonary Hypertension) and Early Senile Dementia. Patients can call 866-216-5710 or visit http://www.regenocyte.com for information or consultation.

      I may want to contact this number for my research. 
  • Therapeutic, addressed physicians from around the world with a presentation on patients treated with pre-engineered Adult Stem Cells. In the presentation,
  • "This is the logical next step in harnessing the regenerative power of stem cells. This will be the next phase in turning science into medicine
  • PET scans confirm that Adult Stem Cells have the ability to engraft themselves into areas damaged by myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and turn into viable new heart muscle.
  • "Three months after treatment, cardiac nuclear scans of the areas treated reveal reversal of damage. We have been able to take patients off the transplant list, and we have been doing it consistently."
  • physicians at the Dominican Republic division of Regenocyte announced clinical results of a 46-year-old patient with pulmonary hypertension who was treated with Adult Stem Cells. His pulmonary artery mean pressure went from 41mmHg (severe pulmonary hypertension) to 24 mmHg (normal) in six months.
  • The patient's saturations are now consistently high and he no longer needs to be supplemented with oxygen continuously or considered for a lung transplant. Another patient was successfully treated for cardiac sequelae of Fabry's Disease, and is also no longer considered for heart transplant.

    A clinical essay on the use of stem cells on regrowing certain organs and its cit-effects. Is it more dangerous to use stem cells research? Does the benefits out weigh the risks of the procedures?

  • Players also spend more time on their sport than their homework and see themselves more as athletes than as a students.
  • Once athletes start attending the university that paid them to play a sport, it is perfectly understandable why they commit more to training than to studying.
  • examined the SAT scores of 53 schools, there was at least an 88-point difference between the student body’s average and that of football team members’ average score.
  • Robert Harrison on 17 Jul 12
     
    This article helps prove my thesis that players are pretty much attending  the schools just for the sport not for knowledge. And it brings up the idea of the athletes being paid to play.

One trick to overcome those problems is to insert the gadget in an igoogle page, set up all the settings, and then inspect the source/dom to find the relevant iframe link. This link can then be copied and put in place of the Google-Sites generated iframe link (by entering the html mode of the Google-Sites editor).
