George Clooney calls for unity among actors

clipped from news.yahoo.com George Clooney just wants actors to get along instead of choosing between sparring unions. "What we can't do is pit artist against artist," he wrote. Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin and others have joined hundreds of actors in signing an online petition urging actors to ratify the AFTRA pact. Clooney also called on higher-paid actors to chip in a greater share of union dues and for 10 A-listers — "people that the studio heads don't often say 'no' to," he suggested, listing only Nicholson and Hanks by name — to sit down with studio heads once a year to "adjust the pay for actors."

Lucas: Obama is a Jedi

clipped from www.examiner.com “Star Wars” creator George Lucas used his expert opinion to compare some of his famous characters to famous politicians Tuesday morning. Lucas, who was on Capitol Hill to testify at the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Telecommunications and the Internet subcommittee hearing on universal service, was totally nonpartisan when it came to President Bush, declining to weigh in on our question: “Who is President Bush more like: Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader?” “It’s up to the viewer,” he responded. Lucas did, however, have one definitive answer: Barack Obama would most certainly be a Jedi. “I would say that’s reasonably obvious,” he said.

How to Make Your Workout Quick and Sweaty

Let me know the results if you try this workout routine.

clipped from health.usnews.com While researching a book on exercise and the brain, John Ratey learned that intense exercise releases a hormone that burns belly fat and adds muscle fibers. So the Harvard Medical School psychiatrist swapped out 40-minute jogging sessions on the treadmill for something less time consuming but more vigorous: Twice a week, he now jogs for a total of 20 minutes and includes five exhausting sprints of 20 to 30 seconds apiece. After a month, he was amazed at the results. "I didn't change my diet, and I spent less time on the treadmill," he says. "But all of a sudden, I was 10 pounds lighter." Many of the people I work with are time starved," says Todd Durkin, a trainer and conditioning coach in San Diego. "They don't have an hour a day to work out."

1988-2008: Climate Then and Now

Interesting reading. Follow the links to get in the way back machine.

clipped from dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com Global warming has felt like breaking news a few times in recent years. But the first big pulse of coverage and public attention came in 1988, when the Amazon rain forest and Yellowstone were ablaze, a searing drought had farmers kicking dusty fields in frustration I thought it might be worth inviting you all to read and “annotate” (as we’ve done with a couple of climate speeches and a polar bear decision recently) my cover story for Discover Magazine, reported through that hot year and published in the October 1988 edition. I asked the current management there if they’d post the original article. They liked the idea, but the article was so old that it wasn’t even available in electronic form, so they had to type it up. Here’s the story, “Endless Summer: Living With the Greenhouse Effect.” Melissa Lafsky of the magazine also did a brief e-mail interview with me, which is on their Reality Base blog.

Four years of home gains have been wiped out

clipped from www.marketwatch.com Home prices in 20 major U.S. cities have dropped a record 15.3% in the past year and are now back to where they were in 2004, according to the Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday by Standard & Poor's. Prices in the 20 cities are now down 17.8% from the peak two years ago. The biggest declines were seen in Las Vegas, Miami and Phoenix, with prices falling by 25% or more in the past year. Prices in 10 cities have fallen by more than 10%. Prices were lower in April than they were a year earlier in all 20 cities tracked by the Case-Shiller index. Home prices in Charlotte, N.C., which was the last holdout, have now slipped 0.1% in the past year. Home prices surged in 2003 through 2006, climbing by a cumulative 52%. Since then, however, the housing and credit bubble has burst and home owners have given up half of their gains from earlier in the decade.

Foreclosure Fight: We're In It Together

Here's what matters most: As I've said before, the rule of thumb that will serve in boom times and bad is to keep housing expenses including taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments at or below 30% of your monthly take-home pay. A few years ago, I was called conservative for sticking to this but semi-conservativeness is what protects you when the bottom falls out—and it always will at some point.

McCain proposes $300M prize for new auto battery

Note to John McCain. If someone can come up with a better automobile battery they won't need a $300 million prize.

I have an idea. How about we give $300 million to Warren Buffet or Bruce Covner and get them working on solving the Social Security problem. They will probably be early investors in the new battery anyway and the returns will be better.

clipped from apnews.myway.com Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday that the search for alternatives to the country's dependence on foreign oil is so urgent that he's willing to throw money at it. The Arizona senator proposed a $300 million prize for whoever can develop a better automobile battery, and $5,000 tax credits for consumers who buy new zero-emission vehicles. The latest proposal is in addition to his support for overturning the federal ban on offshore oil drilling.

Use a Machete and Shower Less: Five ‘Manly’ Ways to Go Green

You can read the entire story by following the link. Funny, entertaining and thought provoking

clipped from blogs.wsj.com Q: What are five going green tips for life you’d give guys who think eco-stuff is for wimps? A: First, make friends with a guy who tears down buildings. My Dad is friends with a guy who does that in Akron; he’ll be tearing down a school with gargoyles and stuff and thinks it’s all garbage. My Dad takes a gargoyle home and makes an incredibly gorgeous sculpture out of it. Second, learn how to landscape with a machete. Instead of firing up the chainsaw and using gas to trim the branches, use the machete to hack a path. Plus, you’ll look so cool sharpening it with a stone. Sit on the front stoop with a toothpick and sharpen your machete and you’ll never be f—– with. Three, shower less frequently. You can tell your wife that you’re saving the earth. Four, ride a motorcycle. It saves gas. My wife has always been anti-motorcycle, but she brought it up recently. If you ever wanted a motorcycle, now you can do it with a moral imperative. Five, conserve water by drinking your whiskey straight.

Comfy New Commuter Bikes for Getting Around Town

When I read this article I had four immediate thoughts. How do we make money from this trend? Twenty years from now are we going to look like China looked about 20 years ago? How is this going to effect oil prices? And, I wonder how many pounds American's are going to lose in the next ten years?

File this under food for thought.

clipped from health.usnews.com If $4-a-gallon gas has you looking for relief, consider: A concerted effort is underway to attract casual bike riders into the fold. The lure is a range of new commuting bikes that promise to make everyday travel by bicycle as comfortable and fashionable as it is cheap. Meantime, a bill that will allow employers to offer financial incentives to bicycle commuters is winding its way through the House and Senate. The Trek Lime, for example, one of a series of coasting bikes designed for especially easy riding, has an automatic shifting system powered by a generator on the front hub, as well as old-fashioned pedal brakes designed to make the riding experience carefree. It runs slightly under $600. The Breezer Villager, which features a light aluminum frame and a seven-speed shifting system, was recently named best commuting bike of 2008 by Bicycling Magazine.
