* Al Gore and Rajendra K. Pachauri accepted the Nobel Peace Prize today in cold and snowy Oslo, Norway. Both will be departing by jet to attend the two week long Climate Crisis IPPC conclave on the beaches of balmy Bali, Indonesia.

The Boston Patriots continue to shine for the NFL and their New England fans in the night chill of their home field. Average NFL attendance was over 65,000 per contest. It could have been worse as ice and snow continue to make headlines. The Sunday NYtimes travel section was filled with ads for trips west to the ski reports in Aspen, Colorado, Taos, New Mexico, and Park City, Utah.

* Today’s stock market opening was Strong, jobs are available in Rochester, NY and elsewhere, U.S troop casualties in Iraq continue to decline, credit for consumers and home buyers is available, charitable giving and donations remains robust, and many a kid seems to be infected with the spirit of the Holiday Season.

Legacy Journal: Friday Final: Frameworking the Future

Section:
Environment

Summary:
Enviromentalism: The State of the Movement.

* A usatoday blog view of the fluid flow of the movement.

The State of the Environment: CT Radiation and Xrays .

A nytimes Op Ed page writer chimes in on “Problematic” CT scans and radiation exposure.

* The inner Environmental Stressor: Asthma and P.T.S.D.

Main:
“Two things in life are certain, death and taxes.” --- Grandpa, Mark Twain, and others.

: Today, the local Rochester, NY paper has a lead article in its Business Section on a local investment in a corn to ethanol envirotech boomlet. The graphic of the process was excellent. It clearly illustrated the steps in the conversion. What was interesting was that more than twenty energy consuming processes were necessary to convert corn in the field to alcohol in the motor. Transporting, grinding, heating, distilling, cooling, pumping, filtering, and storing are among the examples of steps that are highly energy dependent. Meanwhile, the same paper reports that a local Congressman part of a delegation on a six day trip to Brazil for a first hand look at how that nation has “weaned itself from a dependency..... on foreign oil” using sugar cane to produce ethanol. It there also a rum dependency problem in Brazil where the stuff is reported to be plentiful and cheap for natives and tourists.

:: Predictably, the OP Ed folks of nytimes used a slow day on Friday to fill white space with tepid pap on what is characterized as “possibly problematic"--- unnecessary diagnostic radiation exposure. That is a strongly voiced opinion?
The good news is that the issue is not one of peace or prosperity, and no parallels were drown using the horrible Hiroshima metaphor.
Sadly, the science, technology and history of CAT scans is lacking. Not even EMI and the Beatles are given their due. The good news is that the research behind the 1979 Nobel Prize for Medicine helped launch the progress that powers the fifth generation machines. Dramatically increased processing speed has reduced motion artifact, optimized contrast enhancement, and decreased study completion time. Radiation exposure is now measured in mrem units and slice imaging time in msecs. That is very good news.
