Nagoya 2010: UNEP chief addresses opening of Biodiversity summit
Delegates from across the world have gathered in Nagoya, Japan for the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) summit. Governments are meeting to discuss progress on biodiversity targets, as set by parties to the convention in 2002. The Nagoya summit will also consider adopting new set of targets for 2020 that aim to tackle biodiversity loss.
Remarks by Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) at the opening of the summit:
Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am delighted to address the opening of the 10th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD here in Nagoya.
Honorable Minister Matsumoto, I would like to thank the Government of Japan and the leaders and people of Aichi Prefecture and the city of Nagoya for being such splendid and welcoming hosts.
Japan's ancient culture and legendary technological innovation has given the world many things.
But perhaps in many ways Satoyama may prove to be among the most important exports of Japan to a world still searching for sustainability.
This ancient practice of balancing human needs with nature - of taking a systems approach explicitly linking farming and ecosystem services and that sees the mountains, forests, freshwaters and arable land as a seamless landscape - is gaining understanding, awareness and traction in many places.
Already one achievement has been made here in Japan.
Congratulations to governments and to the Executive Secretary and his team for reaching agreement on "the Nagoya - Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety".
Ladies and gentlemen,
Many international meetings are crucial - but this one is perhaps one of the most crucial that any of us will attend.
Indeed I do not believe there can have been many conferences linked with biological diversity upon which the eyes of the world have fallen so piercingly and firmly and where citizens are waiting and watching for leadership.
Here there is an opportunity to shape the landscape and the trajectory of humanity's response to the loss of its natural and nature-based assets in profound and transformational ways.
Here and together we can begin to put in place the kinds of far sighted policy-responses and smart mechanisms that have been incubating for years in many countries and communities.
But whose moment has come, and is coming not a moment too soon.
Biodiversity - Challenges Now Firmly on Global Agenda
Biodiversity and ecosystems have in recent years rapidly rocketed up the international agenda.
They have become - and quite rightly become - issues on a par with the other major challenges for this generation: climate change being the most obvious.
Human-kinds ability to impact the natural systems underpinning lives and livelihoods has gone from the local to the global and is reaching far and wide.
Equally humanity's scientific and technological ability to measure, assess and chronicle those impacts is today unprecedented.
This year's Global Biodiversity Outlook-3, prepared in close collaboration with UNEP's World Conservation Monitoring Centre, points to 'tipping points' fast emerging - changes for example in freshwater systems that soon may be irreversible.
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment of 2005 concluded that 60 per cent of the services provided by the world's ecosystems that support human well being are now either degraded or heading that way.
Changes in biodiversity as a result of human activities were more rapid in the past 50 years that at any time in human history, it concludes.
The report, the output of more than 1,300 scientists from more than 90 countries supported by UNEP, the Global Environment Facility and many other partners, underlined that rather than exercising the brake the world continues to choose the accelerator.
This is hurtling us all on a collision course towards an extremely sobering destiny.
The issue in front of this meeting is whether human beings have the collective intelligence, wisdom and common humanity to read the writing on the wall.
And to now decisively act and to manage rather than mine the resources that on the one hand makes this planet habitable, and on the other are its fundamental source and engine room of livelihoods and development.
And to do this in a way that is fair and equitable to those who have conserved that wealth over millennia.
But who are all too often and increasingly confronted with day to day realities, external pressures including sometimes perverse market forces and other challenges, just to survive.
It was not by chance that the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment included 'Human Well-Being' in its title - that is yours and my well being, your children, families, communities and countries' well being: and our collective responsibility to the next generation's well being.
Making Good on the Promises - Strategic Plan and ABS
The future is before you.
We know that the promises made at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002 have not been fulfilled.
Not one country reporting to the CBD, as chronicled in the GBO-3, has met the 2010 target of substantially reversing the rate of loss of biodiversity.
Among the important agenda items here in Nagoya is resetting this ticking clock by setting bolder and more determined goals.
UNEP supports the draft Revised Strategic Plan for the CBD and improved indicators. To this end we have been organizing and supporting regional workshops from Africa to West Asia in order for governments to define the plan's direction.
UNEP's Global Environment Outlook-5, which is underway and which will be ready in 2012, has also been tooled to support the plan.
It will also focus on not just the realities and trends but the solutions to biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation amongst other central sustainability challenges.
The plan's success will ultimately hinge on financial support from governments.
But crucially on how policy-makers refocus and redirect the global economy to factor in the world's natural and nature-based assets in order to unleash the markets and the trillions of dollars in investment funds, pension fund and the like.
It will also rest on building the capacity of developing countries.
UNEP is supporting this across many fronts including under a 13 million Euro project funded by the European Union on capacity support for MEA implementation.
Also before you is the opportunity to finally establish the CBD's missing pillar which in turn can support the strategic plan by providing incentives for conservation and sustainable use and a new flow of funds from North to South.
I refer of course to an International Regime on Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources (ABS)- a smart market mechanism in its own right.
UNEP has, as with many previous negotiations, assisted in facilitating the latest round kick started after Bonn and leading to Nagoya.
These have been at turns frustrating and encouraging.
But in the 18 years since the Rio Earth Summit of 1992 that gave birth to the CBD, there has never been a better chance of agreeing ABS than now.
Let us work together to overcome the remaining hurdles and look to the common areas of interest that unite nations on this issue rather than the smaller differences that all too often divide.
In a 21st century, where biological and genetic resources will increasingly become acknowledged as a major part of economic and business life and for inventions and breakthroughs, the notion of not having basic international ground rules and norms and standards is likely to prove short-sighted to put it mildly.
Earlier this year in Busan, in the Republic of Korea, one breakthrough occurred in this important, mile-stone year.
Such a body has the potential to significantly tear down the firewall and strengthen the interface between science and policy-making in support of the biological conventions and the CBD's strategic plan.
An IPBES has been one of the missing links in the gulf between the reality of what is happening to the natural world and an ambition to fundamentally change and to fix this.
ABS is another missing link, another key piece in the response puzzle.
I understand that real and tangible progress has been made over the past few days.
And there is optimism that a Protocol may be in sight: I congratulate the co-chairs of the Ad-Hoc Open-Ended Working Group for their determination, energy and creativity.
Let this real chance not slip through our fingers here in Nagoya - let's have something more to shout about and to celebrate come the 29th of October that will make us and the global public we serve stand up and congratulate all concerned.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Biodiversity and ecosystems have always been at the heart of UNEP's work since it was established in 1972.
UNEP has and continues to work across the full spectrum in support of the biological conventions from the strategic to the project level.
A 10 year, $10 million UNEP GEF project to save the Siberian crane across partner countries including China, India, Kazakhstan and Russia, has not only boosted the bird's fortunes.
For the full range of UNEP's activities in support of the biological conventions, please see our report of activities to this meeting.
In 2010 biodiversity and ecosystems have not just become part of the heart but an aortic and pulmonary component of the organization.
This is as a result of beginning the full implementation of the UNEP Medium-Term Strategy requested by ministers responsible for the environment through their Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum.
In support of the entire family of biological conventions - from CBD and the CMS to the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species to Ramsar, the wetlands treaty - UNEP has been bringing not just the science and the policy.
But now increasingly the economics to the fore including in support of the CBD targets.
This body of work also links and curves back to the other conventions whether it be chemicals and hazardous waste or climate or air pollution.
The essential and elemental thrust is to showcase the multiple, and to some hidden benefits and opportunities for action right across the sustainability agenda if only we look for them and seize the opportunities.
To recognize too that far from being a burden, investments in the environment can have inordinate returns if the right signals and structures are factored into sustainable development and growth.
Last year we compiled a rapid assessment report: The Environmental Food Crises: environment's role in averting future food crises.
Food waste doesn't just translate into the tragedy of billions of people going hungry every night.
It represents a waste of the fertilizers and fuels used across the food chain which contribute to impacts such as dead zones in the world's oceans and climate change - also another avenue for reducing the pressure on land and the pressures on ecosystems and biodiversity and indeed the atmosphere.
The Blue Carbon report produced with the FAO, UNESCO and IUCN, underlined that seagrasses, mangroves and salt marshes globally may be absorbing up to half the world's transport emissions.
We know these marine ecosystems are economically-important in terms of coastal defenses, nurseries for fish and other important services.
Now we know they could be cornerstones in a more comprehensive response to climate change with the right kind of investment including via payment for ecosystem services.
TEEB and the Green Economy
Indeed it is perhaps the economic lens that has been one of the biggest missing links in the international response to biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation.
This week The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) - a partnership hosted by UNEP - will publish its final, synthesis report.
And what would it cost to replace certain natural services - even if we could.
TEEB is also showcasing where some communities and countries are recognizing nature's value.
TEEB feeds directly into UNEP's Green Economy Initiative?indeed it is no coincidence that the head of both projects is the same: Pavan Sukhdev who is on secondment to UNEP from Deutsche Bank.
The Green Economy, which is one of the two themes for the upcoming Rio+20 meeting in Brazil, is assembling from across the globe the smart policy-instruments and market mechanisms to further unleash investments.
It is also showcasing where perhaps the global economy is wasting money and perversely contributing to environmental degradation - money that could be better spent on supporting the agenda of the CBD and other biological conventions.
In May UNEP spotlighted the economic, social and environmental contradictions of fisheries subsidizes and their role in fueling the depletion of fish stocks.
TEEB and the Green Economy are both bringing evidence to oft said statement that nature is the wealth of the less well off.
Points being articulated and translated into the work of the UNEP-UN Development Programme's Poverty and Environment Initiative which, as of June this year, has expanded to just under 20 countries.
Meanwhile the multiple benefits, mutual supportiveness of the CBD and the UN Climate Convention and the way public policy has the potential to shape investment decisions is no more better illustrated than under Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD).
But where to target investments in order to combat climate change, boost biodiversity and enhance ecosystem services that also contributes to livelihoods?
UNEP and the World Bank are pursuing an ecosystems and natural capital initiative as a result of TEEB and national assessments are being planned and considered by several countries including Brazil and India - again initiatives in support of the proposed Strategic Plan of the CBD.
Change is underway - environmental change including the rapid and accelerating loss of the world's biodiversity and ecosystems.
It is now being glimpsed on the bottom line of households, communities, business and indeed entire economies.
Next week UNEP's Finance Initiative will host CEOs from banks, investment funds and other sectors of the finance community here in Nagoya.
And it is not just business where concerns are rising.
I hope some of you will join us next Sunday where we will announce the winners of this year's global Children Painting Competition on biodiversity - if Hansel and Gretel worried you when you were young, it is the loss of animals and forests that are animating the new generation.
But in many countries, communities and cities, business and households another kind of change is also being registered and recorded which if scaled-up and embed offers a far different future than the one being forecast by science under the paralysis of the status quo.
This is the challenge before this meeting.
On ABS, let me agree that it is complex and challenging.
But all too often multilateral negotiations seem to reduce to the minutia of extraordinary and in-depth detail.
It becomes for many almost impossible to see the wood from the trees - we see this all too clearly in the climate negotiations.
To borrow another biodiversity metaphor: one does not have to have every single duck in place before setting sail - a fact that is also seen clearly in the success of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
Governments got going on repairing the Earth's protective shield in the 1980s without waiting for every knot to be tied and every bow to be neatly attached to the final package.
And have evolved and amended that highly successful MEA and Protocol as new science, information and realities have emerged.
It is the United Nations at its best and goes to the principles of fairness and equity and the search for a peaceful world that underpinned its original charter.
Here in Nagoya we need to rediscover those principles as they relate to the conservation and sustainable use of the living world and in a way that shares the benefits to six billion, rising to nine billion people by 2050.
Recognize too that stability and human well-being in the 21st century will rest fairly and squarely on the fate of all life on Earth.
Science tells us that we are currently going through the sixth wave of extinctions - human beings are not on the IUCN's RED List, but for how much longer.
If that is what science is telling us, what will this meeting tell the world it is doing about it?
The plants and animals, fungi and micro-organisms that produce and clean our air, generate drinking water, hydro-power and irrigation; provide food, shelter and medicines and also bring to many joy and a spiritual dimension to our daily lives need a big helping hand from this 10th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties - if not for their sakes, but for ours.
As the world famous biologist and insect specialist E O Wilson underlined:" The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats-this is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us".
Here in Nagoya the world can start putting in place the solutions and systems that will give those alive today and our descendants to come less cause for anxiety but one of well deserved approbation and applause as a result of your decisions in Nagoya in 2010.
I would like to thank the German presidency which has so ably navigated from Bonn to Nagoya; members of the bureau for their wisdom and energy and again the Government of Japan to whom the presidential baton is to be handed.
I am pleased to know that a global Satoyama Initiative will be launched here - proof, if proof were needed that sometimes we must go back to the future to re-define a better one - that traditional knowledge as well as modern science has the answers.
I am sure that under Japan's leadership, the decisions taken here over the next two weeks can be translated from ideas into solid and importantly, supported actions.
And that the spirit and practical application of systems like Satoyama can become one of the beacons for sustaining humanity together with all life on Earth in the 21st century.
Thank you.

At this point I wanted a thicker stew, so I decided to add a can of refried beans.
I mixed the refried beans with 1/4 cup of water to thin it for easier mixing into the stew.
I stirred in the refried beans, then simmered the stew about 25 minutes more on low.
Ground Turkey and Bean Stew with Cumin, Green Chiles, and Cilantro
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted from Green Chile Chicken and Pink Bean Stew by Melissa Rubel Jacobsen for Food and Wine.
2 T + 1 tsp. olive oil
2 lbs. ground turkey (use turkey with less than 10% fat for the South Beach Diet)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, to season ground turkey
1 large onion, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
1 T minced garlic
2 tsp. ground cumin
3 cups cooked pink beans or pinto beans (3 cups = 2 cans. I used Rancho Gordo Yellow Indian Woman beans, cooked in a crockpot slow cooker, then drained.)
2 cans (4 oz.) diced green Anaheim chiles
3 cups chicken stock (or use 2 cans chicken broth)
1 can (16 oz.) refried pinto beans
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (or more)
sliced lime wedges, for serving
Add 3 cups cooked beans, 2 cans diced green Anaheim chiles, and 3 cups chicken stock. Stir to combine, then reduce heat and let the mixture simmer about 30 minutes.
Combine 1 can refried pinto beans with 1/4 cup water to thin the beans, then stir refried beans into the turkey and bean mixture. Simmer about 25 minutes more.
While mixture simmers, chop 1/4 cup (or more) cilantro. When the stew is as thick as you'd like it to be (about 25 minutes for me), stir in chopped cilantro and simmer 5 minutes more. Serve hot, with lime wedges to squeeze lime into the stew when you eat it.
South Beach Suggestions:
As long as you use ground turkey with less than 10% fat, this is a great main dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet. Although low-glycemic dried beans are approved for any phase of the diet, the recommended serving size for phase one is 1/3 to 1/2 cup beans, so for phase one I'd eat a small serving of this with something like Spicy Mexican Slaw as a side dish.

Tupelo's City Council, after more than a year of discussion and months of detailed development, is expected tonight to consider and adopt a new nightclub and nightclub promoter ordinance.
It's a response to incidents of criminality, including fights, that have, in some instances, spilled into other venues after hours.
The complex and comprehensive proposed ordinance would require more from club owners in terms of patron control, especially clubs with a history of incidents requiring police action. It would give the city wider latitude to respond, through the police department, by shutting down operations.
The ordinance also would establish an oversight committee to deal with club issues, a strong action to keep violations and trouble in high profile.
The ordinance, in plain language, is necessary because the council has found "some nightclubs within the City contribute to littering, public intoxication, noise, disorderly conduct, assaults and similar problems connected with routine congregation of persons around such nightclubs, especially those nightclubs that are managed without adequate attention to these problems …"
The council and administration aren't opposed to nightclubs. The interest is in lawful behavior in the clubs, outside the clubs and especially rigorous control by owners of the clubs.
Club entertainment in Tupelo has evolved into a major entertainment attraction.
What's not tolerable is criminal misbehavior, including what Mayor Jack Reed Jr. has called "pop-up" clubs that are almost impromptu businesses that may exist for only a day or a night. Those would be prevented by stricter licensing and fire safety standards.
Tupelo, of course, is not alone among cities of all sizes where tougher ordinances have been adopted to rein in club-based excesses.
The point is not to stop a good time but to prevent criminal behavior that is an issue of public safety.
Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton said months ago that a draft ordinance would propose tightly regulating security, capacity, hours of operation and alcohol sales – with an extra push of suspending operating licenses after a certain number of police calls or complaints to the establishment within a set period of time. That proposal is reasonable, and it makes negative action avoidable by simply obeying the law.
Regardless of where misbehavior and criminality happen, Tupelo needs the legal ammunition to routinely intervene and stop it.

Ryan Jones won over many (not all) of his critics by scoring 17 goals last season as a follow up to the 18 he potted during his coming out party with the Edmonton Oilers in 2010-11. It was a classic case of SIUTBOHC for those who thought his emergence was a fluke, a one-off.
Add up those two seasons, and the Flowmeister has scored 35 goals, most of the hack-and-whack, close-in variety. But, as the saying goes, the bottom line isn't how, but how many. Over the past two seasons, only two forwards have scored more goals while draped in Edmonton silks – Jordan Eberle has 52 and Taylor Hall has 49 despite being interrupted by injury. Sam Gagner, also out for long periods, has 33. Ales Hemsky? Nope. Bad shoulder. Ryan Smyth has potted 42 in that span, but one of those seasons was with L.A.
I liked Jones before a lot of people around here did, but I'm not for one second putting him in the same class as Hall and Eberle or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has just one season under his belt. Duh! Likewise, Hemsky will outscore Jones if he stays healthy (actually healthy, not just well enough to be in the line-up) for 65 games. So, too, whipping boy Gagner.
That said, there is no question, at least in my feeble mind, Jones is a handy guy to have around. He's a decent-sized winger who can spot in on the top two lines in a pinch because of his nose for the net and he's well-suited to a grinding/energy role. He's an adept penalty killer.
The question, and one facing new coach Ralph Krueger, is where does Jones fit in the 2012-13 mix when the puck finally drops given the talented kids ahead of him, the arrival of Nail Yakupov and that Magnus Paajarvi and Teemu Hartikainen will be vying for ice time?
The way I see it playing out, the Oilers just might have a pretty good third line on their hands if Krueger puts bodies in the places that would seem to make sense – specifically, a line with Smyth on left wing, captain Shawn Horcoff at centre and Jones on the right side.
If we assume that Krueger's first line will see Hall and Eberle flanking Nugent-Hopkins and Gagner playing between Yakupov and Hemsky, and I think that's a safe bet given what Krueger has said, that leaves the trio of Smyth, who can and will also play further up in the line-up as a safety net for Yakupov, Horcoff and Jones.
That sets up a less-than-ideal situation where Paajarvi and Hartikainen are looking for ice time with Eric Belanger, Ben Eager, Lennart Petrell and Darcy Hordichuk. It could be reasonably argued Paajarvi and Hartikainen are fits for the third line, but they'll have to wait until injuries strike or GM Steve Tambellini does some weeding out.
If Smyth and Jones are the primary wingers for Horcoff, opposing goaltenders are in for a faceful of backside via No. 94 and No. 28 when that line's on the ice. I also like it that there's some counterstrike capability there against teams loaded in the top-six but thin below. Smyth could flirt with 20 goals again if he isn't run out of gas by too many minutes and Jones will get his 15-18 goals.
The lines, as they always are, will be a carousel of players as Krueger looks for fits, but my guess is a third line of Smyth, Horcoff and Jones might be a very pleasant surprise in 2012-13.
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.
Ryan Jones is, for me, Dave Lumley...period
Lummer came with his 'A'game night after night, which meant there were times when he'd race around like a fart in a mitt...he'd hit anyone who was there and would on occasion score an important goal...his PIMs were usually strategically timed infractions that would almost match his crafty way of drawing a timely penalty...i will always remember the empty netter he tallied with seconds remaining in the game to win the first Cup...i was between the benches and watched the look on Billy Smiths' face go from a hopeful public enemy #1 to vanquished warrior who saw that the end was near...that's what i think Jones could bring in the near future...he's exactly what any team like the Oilers need now and when they are contending...i hope he has a solid place on this team going forward...as well Lummer had the flow goin' on at times too...
Yikes. PH I totally disagree.
Lumley was the best pure scorer on a team of all stars. He was blessed and cursed. Don't believe that? Ask 99 or 11 or 9 or 7 or 31.
Unrelated wierd fact... Lumley married one of the most gorgeous women I ever met. One of three women in my life who caused me to fumble with words.
I like Jonesy and I hope he gains more skills as a PK specialist b/c if the other Ryan is to make it thru the season ( hold breath and the playoffs) he can't be logging those minutes.
As for the goals how many were game winners? That would tell me more about his grit/heart.

Respected music industry publication, Billboard, has announced the names of those individuals on their eighth annual Power Player list of 'Women in Music'. Lisa Worden, Assistant Program Director and Music Director of CBS RADIO's KROQ in Los Angeles, was named to the prestigious list for the third consecutive year.
Billboard's Women in Music issue, which remains among the most awaited from the publication, honors strong, passionate and dedicated females who positively impact the world of music. Each year, hundreds of powerful candidates are submitted for consideration, and the list is narrowed down by Billboard editors to represent the best and brightest women in the industry.
Worden, who has been an influential fixture at the World Famous KROQ for nearly 18 years, is known throughout the radio and alternative music world for her ability to break new music. She is also heralded for discovering emerging talent before they hit it big, and helping them gain the necessary recognition to do just that. Under Worden's leadership, KROQ remains the leading and most listened to alternative station in the country.
Concurrent with the special issue of the magazine, Billboard will recognize its extraordinary Power Players at a special 'Women in Music Event'. Worden, along with the other distinctive and dominant women, are invited to attend a celebration on Friday, Nov. 30 in New York City, where pop icon Katy Perry will be feted as Billboard's Woman of the Year.
Check out the themed issue, which will feature an interview with Worden, on newsstands in December.

Through the 1900s, GMC trucks became well known and respected for their durability, power, and utilitarian nature. By the 1930s, GMC trucks covered everything from half-ton pick-up trucks all the way up to massive dump trucks, buses, and fire trucks. Then in 1936, GMC introduced the Suburban. By the mid-1970s, GMC continued to innovate, creating the GMC Jimmy – the first GMC SUV available on the market.
Over the years, GMC has remained a reliable and steady producer of trucks and SUVs, and they haven't deviated too much from this path. These days the company is probably best known for the Sierra pick-up truck – which is available in a wide variety of options ranging from the half-ton crew cab all the way up to a three ton heavy-duty dual-wheel pickup, and everything in between.
In addition, GMC produces several other popular vehicles, like their popular line of SUVs that includes the Acadia and Yukon. New GMC Yukons are even available in a hybrid version. Buyers have also been extremely happy with the Savanna cargo van and Canyon truck.
Today, GMC trucks mirror many of the standards set in the company's fledgling years and their sister company – Chevrolet. Throughout the decades, the company has maintained a high standard of power and durability few companies can match.

What Can We Expect Between Now and November?
Please enter your comments below.
You Can Expext
That the left will lie and run on attack adds saying" mitt wants to go back" but dont say, back to when unemployment is way below 7 percent not a ture 12-14persent( including the people who have beeen layed of so long that they ran out of unemployment insurance and are not counted by the caring left) they just say when the deficet was high , but i guess 5-6 trillion obama has added is.....ok. They'll say "obama wants to build from the middle class out" i guess by giving the biggest tax increase ever" (congradulations dem liberals)via obama care( see the court desision on "its a tax") yes we need four more years, maybe this "jimmy carter" presedent can run unemployment up to 18 percent, and the deficet to a great new record(beating his last one) to 10 trilion, or more ! Also maybe tell states on the northern boarder it's illegal to protect it's boarders also, also maybe texas too! :) They will also say take from the one percent, ( the ones who's investments make the employment" not the 48 percent who arent paying into the system, the ones on food stamps and what not,,, the dem liberals sitting and occupying , not looking for a job. Yes you'll see the dems attack ( not on the isssues) but on whatever can come from their left wing lock step hate filled un-caring lies of the last 4 years.. thats the same old same old shameful way they do things.
What Can We Expect?
Lies and racism from the GOP and a whole lot of insults to your intelligence from the tools on FoxNews and hate radio. You can count on it.
I'm Expecting...
An all-out attempt by the moneymen controlling the GOP to discredit Obama will fail when the Dems begin using quotes from the Repub primary to show what a total mistake and failure of a nominee Romney is and how his own party knows it.
I bet
At some point Romney will disclose his tax returns and we all will get confirmation that he is offshoring 90% of his income rather than paying his taxes like the rest of us.

The Light of Grace Shines Down Into Your Hearts
Thank you for joining The Federation of Light
Dearest lady, we wish for you an abundance of pink flowers. If one was to imagine being surrounded by the petals of the pink rose and allow the senses to smell of their sweet scent, one would find almost immediately that their persona would be transformed from that of a weed to that of a beautiful rose. Those upon your planet are being made more and more aware of the necessity to focus on all that is of Love. And yes, we have spoken that EVERYTHING is of Love, but you understand do you not that we speak of concentrating on all things that bring pleasure to the heart?
.....It is now time for us to retract from your energy dear lady. We ask all who take the time to read these words to ponder upon the pink rose. It will do you well do to do so.

An Economic Approach to Price Fixing
Louis Kaplow
Harvard Law School; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
May 1, 2011
Harvard Law and Economics Discussion Paper No. 694
This article examines optimal policy toward coordinated oligopolistic price elevation. First, it analyzes the social welfare implications of enforcement, elaborating the value of deterrence and the nature of possible chilling effects. Then, it explores a variety of means of detection, with particular attention to the sorts of errors that may arise under each. Finally, it examines the level and type of sanctions that should be employed. It emerges that there is remarkably little overlap in content between the present investigation and prior legal policy work on the subject. Some central issues have been ignored while particular resolutions of others have been taken for granted, thereby indicating the need for wholesale reassessment.

CMS: Part B Drugs Not Exempted from Sequestration Cuts
In a response to lawmakers seeking to clarify how sequestration will affect payments for the delivery of oncology drugs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has stated that Part B drugs will not be exempted from sequestration cuts. The statement was made in a letter responding to lawmakers requesting clarification on how sequestration would affect these services.
Coding Corner:
Reimbursement Alerts for Practices
The House of Representatives Ways and Means (W&M) and Energy and Commerce (E&C) committees have renewed cooperative efforts to formulate a "doc fix" to the current sustainable growth rate (SGR) payment formula, according to public statements made by committee chairs Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) and Dave Camp (R-MI). Reps. Upton and Camp have indicated that they hope to have a proposal ready prior to the 2013 August recess.
In recent weeks, the AUA has (both independently and in concert with the Alliance of Specialty Medicine) been working actively to provide both House committees with necessary feedback and comments regarding SGR repeal. Additionally, the AUA met with W&M Health Subcommittee Chair Kevin Brady (R-TX-8) to discuss our concerns and also held meetings with Republican members of the E&C Committee to discuss proposed legislation to repeal and replace the SGR. Late last month, the AUA provided a formal response to the Senate Finance Committee's request for input on policies affecting the physician fee schedule and the fee-for-service system.
Physician payment system reform was a key topic at the 2013 Joint Advocacy Conference earlier this year, with lawmakers optimistic for change during the 113th Congress. However, even as many agree that reform is necessary, a major challenge that remains is identifying the "pay for" to offset the costs of repealing the SGR system and how such change will be implemented.
The AUA strongly supports Congress's overarching goal to promote a payment system that ensures payments for physician services are appropriate while also reducing unnecessary utilization, improving quality of care and easing the transition to a new payment model.
On May 15, 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Radium-223 dichloride to treat men with symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC )that has spread to bones but not to other organs.
Comments call for removal of unsubstantiated claims on physician self-referral
The American Urological Association (AUA) has provided comments on a new guidance document from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), calling for the group to review and remove a section on self-referral. The document, Federal Guidance Report No. 14, "Radiation Protection Guidance for Diagnostic and Interventional X-Ray Procedures," was released in April for public comment. This document was the EPA's first update on the medical use of radiation protection programs since October 1976. The recommendations contained in the report represent consensus judgment of an interagency Medical Work Group for the practice of diagnostic and interventional imaging by federal agencies.

Since this vee-neck sweater is knitted from the purest washable lambswool, it is practical as well as durable. An added attraction is the choice of 22 exciting colours. You cant fail to fall for this gorgeous lambswool vee-neck jersey!
This item comes up as a generous fit as reviewed by our customers. You might want to try a size down.
Vee neck
100% soft Lambswool
Machine washable (wool programme.)
Ideal for the golf course
Medium weight 10 gauge fabric
Soft and durable fabric
"Relaxed classic Unisex fit
Versatile all year round garment
IMPORTANT SIZING NOTE- Our Unisex sizing is cut very generously; ladies order a size smaller than the female equivalent. Gents we don't stock XXXL as our XXL is huge! Please double check our unique sizing guide for the garment dimensions
We want your WoolOvers to last just as much as you do (we have our reputation to uphold!) so here is our guide to prolonging the life of your knitwear. Follow these steps and your garments should last for years to come!
All of our fabrics are a blend of natural protein fibres and knitted from machine-washable yarn. Wash them on a wool program, using a non-bio detergent at a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
Many biological detergents contain wool-eating enzymes. Never use biological detergents or stain removers on Wool, Silk or Cashmere fibres because the enzymes will literally digest the fabric and you may end up with unsightly holes!
Afraid not. Those that contain bleach will lead to progressive fading and may weaken the fabric, again leading to holes.
Wool and natural fibre detergents are available at all supermarkets. Many sell Woolmark-approved own brand products. Other good brands include Dreft, Persil Silk and Wool, Woolite, Stergene and Ecover Wool Wash.
Most of our knitwear is machine washable, there are some newer styles that are hand wash only. Please see wash label for washing instructions.
REMEMBER: to increase the life of your WoolOvers, use a slow spin (600 rpm or less) and a low temperature (30° max.) to avoid stretching, shrinking and matting of the fibres.
Our cotton blends will be fine in your tumble dryer, but avoid direct heat on the woollens. These should be reshaped and allowed to dry naturally.
TIP: Keep them supported to maintain their shape, a broad banister can be ideal, or simply lay flat, ensuring you rotate it.

Maybe Too Soon To Rate?I've only used this product once so I can't tell whether it will prevent my hair from breaking in the long run. I can tell you that when I used it I put way too much on. My hair was really greasy and felt really weighted down. I plan to use it again, but not so heavy-handed. For me, it's hard to know how much is enough because I have waist-length hair. I just wanted to caution others from using too much like I did. =) I will definitely give it another try, but the jury is still out on whether I would repurchase it again.Sep 18, 2014Tanisha D. / San Diego, CAHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Great PurchaseI really like this product. I have fine, thin, blonde hair and it works wonderfully. I actually use quite a bit of the spray. A little does not go a long way. I like the spray shine in this line a little better as far as shine goes however the spray shine is heavier. I also use the shampoo and conditioner in the bamboo line. Love it! I will more than likely continue to purchase this product to protect my hair from blow drying etc. and give my hair some shine. It does make your hair shine as much as other products however it does not weigh your hair down as much. Hope that helps!Sep 24, 2012Kami P. / Maumelle, ARHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Great For Fine Hair!I have very fine, straight hair, and I absolutely LOVE this product. It is very moisturizing and makes my hair very shiny, without leaving it feeling weighed down or oily.
A few quick spritzes on damp hair before blow drying/straightening goes a long way. Well worth the price!

Great ProductI have very long medium thick fine color treated dark hair that tends to get oily. It is like a spray creme so acts as a good leave in conditioner/protectant on damp hair. Most products I have to watch so my hair is not greasey looking and with alterna it takes care of business and none of the products oily up my hair. Smells good and makes your hair really soft shinny and protects. I just started using the alterna caviar and bamboo lines and I must say it is far better than my pureology products. They leave my hair soft shinny protective stronger and hydrated. I am in love. Tho pricey but worth every cent!!!May 17, 2012SarahHAIR TYPEBlack / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Sydney Opera House
Here you will find the latest video updates on the Vehicle Access & Pedestrian Safety Project
The Vehicle Access & Pedestrian Safety Project (VAPS) is an important milestone in Sydney Opera House's history. Funded by the NSW Government, the project will enhance tourist and visitor safety by removing heavy vehicle movements from the Forecourt to a purpose built underground roadway and loading dock accessed from the southern end of our site, near Macquarie Street. This will allow pedestrians to have safe and exclusive access to all the Sydney Opera House facilities at Forecourt level.
The Vehicle Access and Pedestrian Safety Project will deliver a number of operational and safety improvements for Sydney Opera House. The project involves the construction of a new underground loading dock and the levelling of the existing roadway. The project is funded by the NSW Government and will be completed in 2014.
The Future
Below is an animation on how VAPS will look upon completion in 2014.

When I was 16 years old my father suffered a debilitating stroke. Having been to the doctor and given a good bill of health only 2 weeks before, it was shock to say the very least. It was something that my family never recovered from. How could someone who was that healthy be lying on the floor? Most experts say the causes for the common stroke are still quite puzzling.
Could chocolate have prevented his stroke? Last week a Harvard study found that a couple of squares of dark chocolate a day might reduce the risk of a hemorrhagic stroke, by 52 percent.
There are two types of strokes—ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain becomes blocked. This type of stroke accounts for about 80 percent of all strokes. Hemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts and bleeds into the brain which makes up about 20 percent of all strokes.
The findings were presented last week at the American Heart Association's conference on cardiovascular disease epidemiology and prevention in San Francisco, California.
According to Dr. Martin Lajous, "The research found that the effects of a rich cocoa (about 9 grams—2 or 3 squares daily—35% cacao at a minimum—we recommend Choclatique Q-91 or Elephant Chocolate 76% cacao) on cardio vascular health seems to be through its effect on blood pressure, and the capacity to improve the flexibility of the blood vessels."
The benefit attributed to cocoa stems from substances it contains known as flavonoids, which are believed to help protect against certain cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as blood pressure and blood clotting.
People who add such things as chocolate or red wine to their diet with the hope of helping to prevent heart disease also need to be aware that they're taking in additional calories. So mild exercise 3 to 4 times a week is advised. If you start adding weight, you may be giving yourself additional risk factors for stroke and heart disease.
How Do You Recognize Stroke?
Symptoms of stroke appear suddenly. Watch for these symptoms and be prepared to act quickly for yourself or on behalf of someone you are with:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.
- Sudden confusion, trouble talking, or understanding speech.
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination.
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
If you suspect you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms indicative of a stroke, do not wait. Call 911 emergency immediately.
There are now effective therapies for stroke that must be administered at a hospital, but they lose their effectiveness if not given within the first 3 hours after stroke symptoms appear. Every minute counts!
Costs of Stroke to the United States: estimated at $43 billion / year
- Direct costs for medical care and therapy: estimated at about $28 billion / year
- Indirect costs from lost productivity and other factors: estimated at about $15 million / year
- Average cost of care for a patient up to 90 days after a stroke: $15,000
- For 10% of patients, cost of care for the first 90 days after a stroke: $35,000
- Percentage of direct cost of care for the first 90 days*:
- Initial Hospitalization = 43%
- Rehabilitation = 16%
- Physician Costs = 14%
- Hospital Readmission = 14%
- Medications And Other Expenses = 13%

Oral Questions
Jason Kenney Calgary Southeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, in recent weeks members of the government have made reference to a payment of $1.14 million that was made from the Liberal Party to the Government of Canada in partial repayment of illicit moneys received as a result of the sponsorship program.
I would like to ask if the government could please table a copy of the cancelled cheque, both sides of it, so we can indeed ensure that this money was received by the Government of Canada.
Liberal Party of Canada
Oral Questions
St. Catharines
Walt Lastewka Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, we have answered questions from that member a number of times in the House, but let me repeat what the deputy leader of the Conservative Party said just a few weeks ago: "We know that every recommendation that will come out of the second Gomery report will already have been adopted and acted upon and all the transparency and accountability mechanisms already in place". That came from the deputy leader of the opposition. I thank him very much for having confidence in Justice Gomery.
Justice Gomery did his work in his first report and he will do his work in his second report--
Liberal Party of Canada
Oral Questions
The Deputy Speaker
The hon. member for Louis-Hébert.
Oral Questions
Roger Clavet Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, no doubt during his last visit to Quebec City, the Minister of Transport saw the terrible and rusty condition of the Quebec Bridge. Renovating this bridge is a regional priority.
Instead of boasting about having read CN the riot act, why does the minister not get his department to immediately make the repairs, and then demand repayment from CN? It would go much faster, unless the minister is as rusty as the Quebec Bridge.
Oral Questions
Pierre Pettigrew Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, we appreciate the Bloc Québécois members' humour this morning. It is a change from their usual bad mood.
Transport Canada intends to take the necessary steps to ensure that Canadian National completes the bridge repairs in accordance with its obligations and commitments in this regard.

Psalm 7
David trusts in the Lord, who will judge the people—God is angry with the wicked.
1 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The Lord shall
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is
16 His mischief shall
17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

Entropy in Property
Francesco Parisi
University of Minnesota - Law School; University of Bologna
American Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 50, No. 3, pp. 595-632, Summer 2002
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 01-14
This article suggests that property is subject to a fundamental law of entropy, namely that it is affected by a one-directional bias leading towards increasing fragmentation. The application of the laws of entropy to property further indicates that one can avoid this tendency only in the purely abstract world of zero transaction costs. Building upon this consideration, I consider the choice of remedies in property law, focusing on legal rules that are designed to promote (a) functional, (b) legal, and (c) physical unity in property. I provide examples drawn from both common law and civil law systems, supporting the hypothesis that legal rules are instrumental in combating entropy in property.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The media descended with a fury upon Range Creek on Wednesday. An article in the Emery County Progress on June 15 entitled "A Hidden Treasure," has attracted national attention. Kevin Jones, state archaeologist, contacted the Progress about a media tour to Range Creek to explain the area from the archaeological viewpoint. He said he was inviting five press organizations, including the Sun Advocate, Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret Morning News and one Associated Press reporter and the Progress.
Things seem to have gone awry as more than 50 press organizations including national reporters from the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Denver Post, Chicago, Today Show, Utah State News organizations Fox 13, Channel 5, Channel 2, Channel 4, and many others attended the media event.
Also attending the event was Waldo Wilcox, former owner of the ranch. He said, "I think it is a mistake to bring the news media in here. There's no way they will be able to protect it."
The Wilcox family has protected the ranch for 50 years. The property was gated and trespassers weren't welcome. The remoteness of the ranch and its inaccessibility does not lend itself to an occasional visit from a passerby. Currently access to the ranch can only be gained on foot or horseback
"I want them to keep it the way it was when I first came here. I am going to live in Green River for now and am maybe looking to buy a ranch in another state. My Dad taught us to take care of things and to leave things like we found them," said Wilcox. He said it was hard to leave the ranch and sell out, but he is now 74 years old and it's time to move on. "It was hard to leave, it is still hard to leave. I lived here a lot of the time alone, especially during the winter when the kids went to school in Green River. I knew there were enough artifacts and stuff here that if anyone found out about it, they probably would have condemned it and taken it away. But now, with the drought and everything, we are better off selling it. During my years here, I didn't have time to to look for archaeological items, I knew I had to take care of the cows or I wouldn't eat. My Dad instilled in us to leave everything as it was. Once when my Dad was younger he carved his initials in a rock and years later when I asked him about it, he said he was sorry he had done it.
"Over the years we have kept the media out of here. Once a reporter from the Sun Advocate wanted to come and see it, and I said to come ahead, but to leave your camera home. I hope people can still see it and still protect it. If they can come and look, that's great."
Wilcox was questioned about the way of life of the Indians. He said they had a pretty rough life. When his grandfather was there and the Utes were living there. They would burn caterpillars and store them to eat during the winter. Wilcox said he believed the granaries on the property were also used to store the seed for the coming planting season as well as for food storage.
Wilcox said in the time he spent living on the ranch he never dug up an Indian grave or disturbed anything. He said a lot of people have told him they buried treasures with their people, but he said the people here were so poor, he didn't think they did that because the dead were headed for the Happy Hunting Ground and the living people needed everything they had to sustain them in their existence.
"Living here was heaven on earth," said Wilcox.
This is the first in a series of articles dealing with the Wilcox acquisition and its future.

Last year there were 20 positive bulls with Trichomonas virginals, costing producers $150,000 to $250,000 or more.
Trichomoniasis is a venereal disease in cattle that causes early abortions. Producers lose money having to replace bulls, having fewer calves to sell, and having lighter weight cattle at the time of sale. Producers met with Dr. Kerry Rood, Extension Veterinarian; Dr. Warren Hess, Assistant State Veterinarian; and Dr. Glen Jensen, Local Private Veterinarian, in an effort to help producers to better understand the importance of the disease and to get input. State officials are very concerned because trichomoniasis has been a big problem in this area for years.
It has also been diagnosed in many other counties throughout Utah during the past decade. However, other areas have been able to get rid of the disease from their herds or have shown great improvements. Unfortunately this area has seen little improvement and has had one of the largest numbers of positive bulls every year.
Producers are concerned about some bulls in the area not being tested annually as is supposed to be done. The law does state that all bulls not in confinement are tested annually, confinement means exposed cows and bulls must be in a tight corral, if cows or the bulls are on pasture they must be tested.
This is to protect all producers and help prevent the spread of trichomoniasis. The law was put in place as a request of cattle producers within the state. Enforcement is difficult due to costs, and lack of manpower. The best way to enforce the law is through producers who need to work with neighbors and report problems when seen and unable to get compliance otherwise.
The other area of concern is running open cows. These are cattle that failed to get pregnant during the previous breeding season. These cattle can be reservoirs for this disease. This means that if a cow is exposed to the disease she can harbor the organism until bred again when she will transmit it to the bull, the bull will in turn spread it to the rest of the herd. This can be done from a spring to fall breeding season or from a spring to spring breeding season. There is no law that addresses cows, however, producers are encouraged to keep good records and ensure they are not allowing open cows to continue the spread of the disease.
Emery County has many cattle producers that are very used to having cattle that only calve once every 18 to 24 months. When grazing on public desert permits the feed is often scarce and poor quality. Cattle that calve have to put a lot of energy into milk production and therefore will not have the energy to support the calf, and themselves and to become pregnant again. The body considers reproduction as a luxury and therefore the cow will not cycle when in a negative energy balance or poor body condition. There are three things that will create late calves or no calf, these are; poor nutrition, infertile or subfertile bulls, and disease.
