New Exterior Lighting At Harvard University


These are images of the new exterior lights on the front of the building at 85 Prescott Street. The lights at 95 Prescott Street may have the same problem. Each light has a shade inside of the cover. But the position of it directs light toward the windows of the apartment nearby, and shades light directed toward the front steps. It is the opposite of what one would expect the shade to do.  



Daytime image of the light on the left of the front door. Notice the shade (dark area) on the right side of this light, which blocks light toward the front steps. It is not known why this light is on during daytime especially in view of the Harvard University major effort to save energy.

This image shows the placement allowing light to shine into the nearby window.

O'Keefe Catches Susan Sarandon's Agent in Anti Energy Sting


[audio and video files embedded]
[From article]
The actress is seen at a film event suggesting that a representative meet with "Muhammad" -- an O'Keefe associate -- in her stead. The scene switches to a lunch meeting with Talbott, who positions himself as a conduit between the phony "Muhammad" and Sarandon.
[. . .]
“If anyone wonders why I said some of the wacky things on the James O’Keefe video, I now have a response: I didn’t say them,” Begley Jr. told THR. “The un-edited version of the James O’Keefe tape tells a very different story.”

"a press release slamming O’Keefe as an 'ultra-right-wing deception fraudster'” Is that different from "ultra-left-wing deception fraudsters" like the White House PR flacks? "misinformation by the right wing" is different from "misinformation by the left wing?"

Sun Reverses Polarity, Cause of Electrical Storms




http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2385401/A-storm-coming-Suns-magnetic-field-set-FLIP-lead-bad-weather-radio-disruption.html

A storm is coming: Sun's poles are set to FLIP within four months and it could lead to bad weather and radio disruption
The sun's magnetic field reverses its polarity once every 11 years or so
Flip represents a peak in solar activity where bursts of energy are released
These bursts can lead to space storms and changes to Earth's climate
Radio and satellite communications may also be affected

OCT 20, 2003 Roy Bercaw Speaks to City Council

Roy Bercaw speaks to the Cambridge City Council opposing the Harvard Tunnel under Cambridge Street. He opposes creating an energy Czar for the City. Bercaw applauds the City's effort promoting democracy in Ireland, but suggests the city focus on the city itself. He says the City Council may have violated the Open Meetings Law at the private meeting before the City Council meeting of October 20, 2003. He laments the way that persons with disabilities are treated by politicians, journalists and police.

Cambridge MA Role Models 3

Cambridge fights global warming? Cambridge MA is the incubator for limousine liberals, who promote global warming as the highest priority of government and American civilians. Cambridge is the host city to Harvard University and to MIT. In this brief video clip on September 2, 2007 (temperature was about 72 degrees F) the front of Cambridge Hospital's new building is shown with floor to ceiling glass walls. Cambridge taxpayers give $6 million this year to the Hospital for operating costs. There are no curtains and no shades for these window walls. In the heat of summer when the hospital's air conditioning cools the inside, heat enters from the outside through these windows. In the cold of winter the heated hospital provides heat to the outside through these same windows. The energy used to heat and to cool the hospital is wasted due to negligence of the planners and administrators who fail to use basic materials to save energy.
The total construction costs for the latest expansion in the 1990s was $41.3 million. The architect was Payette Associates Inc., 285 Summer Street, Boston, MA. The interior designer was Warner + Associates, Inc., 192 South Street, Boston, MA.
The administration of Cambridge Health Alliance which owns the Cambridge Hospital includes many former public officials and Cambridge City officials. They are almost uniformly liberal Democrats. Cambridge Hospital is a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital. Are they teaching civilians how to waste energy and how to be hypocrites in the name of healing people?
