Titles, Titles, Titles
But they already had a book with the title Curses. Too close to my own title.
So, on the title hunt I went. I asked for a little direction from my editor who asked me some excellent questions to consider on what I want to focus on with the title. I then did some brainstorming, but felt stuck. I went to one of my RWA chapters and asked for a little help - posting a blurb on what it was about and about ten titles I had come up with so far. Funnily, someone suggested a title that I had original come up with and later dismissed, but they also came up with a lot of other good suggestions. I then took their suggestions, my list, and the questions my editor asked me and came up with a title I liked almost as much as The Curse. Unfortunately, title was already taken. :-) I re-considered wanting to keep the theme of redemption in the title (a suggestion by my editor).
Drum roll.....The new title is The Beast's Redemption.
How do you all come up with your titles? Sometimes I'm lucky and a title comes to me immediately. Other times I struggle to find the perfect title.

Titles like headlines are hard for me. But I do think they are super important. Nothing is so disappointing as a really catchy headline or title that doesn't live up to its name. Fortunately, at newspapers there is usually someone in paste up who writes the headlines and fortunate is the paper that has a clever headline writer. The Beast's Redemption sounds intriguing. Can't wait to read the book!ReplyDelete
Titles. *pfft*ReplyDelete
Sometimes they're easy and other times it's a bloody battle in which I lose.
Spurred On was my editor's idea. My original title Branded was nixed which is just as well as it has nothing to do with the book at all. The hockey one I just finished and need to submit is with a hockey hero and I called it Scoring Lacey. I hope I get to keep it. *crosses fingers*
The Beast's Redemption is a delicious title. It's so...savage...and grr... Here's hoping the cover is just as sink your teeth into it delicious. And since it's TWRP...odds are...yes
Diane - Yes, I think titles and headlines are a whole new skill set. It has to capture the essence of the writing and be grabbing.ReplyDelete
Jenna - Thanks for stopping by. Scoring Lacey is a cool title. I like the double meaning titles. I'm really looking forward to the cover phase.
I like that title. I like your process. JanReplyDelete

I've been grilling for years, and just started smoking this summer. I have a CharGriller offset smoker with the usual mods. Doing a brisket tonight and thought I'd check out some of the threads here. Lived in Brooklyn most of my life, but moved to NJ last year for the big yard so the neighbors wouldn't get smoked out all summer.

I've been to Brooklyn. What's a small town boy from Twin City, Georgia doing in Brooklyn? Spent a week there at the Brooklyn Navy Yard teaching a course when I was a Navy instructor. It was February, and it was freezing. It snowed every day I was there. Not the big, fluffy flakes like you see on TV either. It was little tiny flakes that kind of stung when they hit your face.
I'm glad to see you're working your way down south; although I would call NJ a baby step.

VSDC is excited to continue the Eat Smart Cooking & Nutrition Series! Each class will be completely vegan and provide a food demonstration of creative and healthy yet simple-to-prepare dishes, Q&A, food sampling of the prepared items, nutrition information, and time to mingle and socialize.
[NOTE: this series is different from the Eat Smart Program that VSDC founded in 2004 but incorporates some of the key elements of that program.]
This session will take place from 2-4 pm in downtown Silver Spring MD – just about 1/2 mile from the Silver Spring Metro station (Red line). There is street parking within 1 block (should be Free on Sun but be sure to read signs carefully and follow parking instructions).
Our presenter for this very unique presentation is Mark Sutton*. Mark will demonstrate how to prepare delicious, healthy, and creative vegan pizzas: shaping dough, arranging fillings, and making "cheese-like" topping sauces. Recipes are from his book (the 1st Vegan Pizza Cookbook): "Heart Healthy Pizza." Autographed copies will be available for $15.
This class will include the preparation of four heart-healthy vegan pizzas (with sampling!):
CRUST: Whole Wheat and Black Beans
FILLINGS: Kale, tomatoes, cauliflower, mixed sweet peppers, and sliced onions
CHEESE-LIKE TOPPING: Millet, Sunflower Seed, and Chili Garlic Sauce
CRUST: Russian Pumpernickel (with caraway seeds)
FILLINGS: Thousand Island-style Dressing, mixed green and red cabbage, red onions, and mushrooms
CHEESE-LIKE TOPPING: Oats, Cannellini Beans, and Horseradish Sauce
CRUST: Oat Flour (gluten-free)
FILLINGS: 8 Vegetable mix (red and green cabbages, carrots, broccoli, jicama, bell peppers, radishes and celery), Balsamic Vinegar
CHEESE-LIKE TOPPING: Tofu Ginger Sauce
CRUST: Basil Flecked White Dough
FILINGS: Tomato sauce, vegan sausage, artichokes, onions, and black olives
CHEESE-LIKE TOPPING: Quinoa, Sweet Potatoes, and Corn Sauce
The low fee for this class is $20 per person (for full VSDC members, we discount this fee to only $15). We have room for about 25 attendees and expect this class to fill up quickly. Please RSVP ASAP. It's first-come, first-serve, payment will be required in advance, and no refunds will be possible. All proceeds from these classes will benefit VSDC's important work in outreach, education, and community-building.
As you RSVP, you will receive payment info and be expected to make online payment via paypal. If you have questions or need assistance, send a message to 'cookingclass - at- vsdc period org'
You will receive specific location and other info about 1 week before the event.

Very excited about doing this demonstration/presentation of making "Heart Healthy Pizza." Been testing larger versions of my recipes in anticipation. Here's the results of last night's test, as well as messing with some new sw I'm still trying to get a handle on. This 2 minute clip is the mobile version (there's a larger computer version at my YouTube Channe).

- OK - not great
Not RecommendedI think I'd hold out for a GoPro or Virb-Ultra. This camera is ok - but I've had a number of issues connecting the app to the camera and the editing software while free was not super easy to figure out (as advertised). I do like the flight metrics included with the video (speed, altitude and track, etc) - so that part is fun. Overall my first foray into flight video and if I had to do it again I would get the latest model vs this one.
Overall Durability Reliability Performed as Expected Ease of use Value
- Much easier to use than a GoPro and includes the overlay information I need.
RecommendedI use cameras to track herring spawn and have been using GoPro cameras. The Garmin is much easier to use, is better setup for operating in a plane, and provides overlay information that makes the video much more useful. The video resolution is plenty good for my application. I have been using the camera for about a month and I am still sorting out all the features to ensure I get the most out of the camera. The basics were easy, but I am always looking to push it a bit further.
Durability Reliability Overall Performed as Expected Ease of use Value
- Excellent! Far exceeded my expectations
RecommendedI totally disagree with the first product review. This camera has been compared side-by-side with all the GoPro's and it's excellent in every way. Look on YouTube and you'll find the comparisons. I bought the camera to record flight lessons for later review, but I will enjoy it after I get my pilots license, even more! What impressed me most was the free software that Garmin offers to edit your videos, and export them to put online, email to friends, etc. It's loaded with features and it's easy to use!
Durability Reliability Overall Performed as Expected Ease of use Value
- goodbye GoPro hello data overlays
Recommended#1) battery life, easily 2x of any of the 3 GoPro's I've owned
#2) G-Metrix overlays; every thing else; IS JUST VIDEO
#3) uses GoPro mounts
try turning on your GoPro w/o looking at it - good luck... 1-button twist & your'e recording, shoot photos during recording & export with G-Metrix overlays via Windows, MAC, or Ipad/Iphone
external headphone connector cable works well for aviation
YOU DO NOT NEED A CASE the Virb is waterproof as-is
I've owned 3 GoPro's - dumb box - buttons aren't positive, mushy, battery life is < 1 hour, maybe 45mins with Wifi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7mBfRdmxbI
Durability Reliability Overall Performed as Expected Ease of use Value
- Poor video and audio quality
Not RecommendedExtremely poor video and audio quality. I own a GoPro, both, video and audio quality, is much better. I will return the Verb XE and would not recommend it at all.

I'm puzzled how the the VIRB Ultra 30 can record headset audio in flight without wires. this is a major time/cable saver if true, but not sure how that would work. Bose 20, for example, has bluetooth capability but I thought that would be as a bluetooth receiver. What is implied here is that the Bose 20 can transmit headset/mic audio for receiving and

Today in Music News: Rivers Cuomo hospitalized, Kennedy Center Honors Bruce Springsteen, Morrissey tour opener, 40th anniversary of Altamont
- Say it ain't so! "Weezer's Rivers Cuomo hospitalized following bus accident."
- Kennedy Center Honors: Bruce Springsteen, jazz pianist/composer Dave Brubek, opera singer Grace Bumbry--plus Robert De Niro (seen chatting with the Boss) and Mel Brooks, who probably gave the best acceptance speech.
- Morrissey, who performs at Fox Theatre in Pomona Monday, "favors solo material in tour opener."
- Today marks the 40th anniversary of the infamous Altamont Free Concert where the Rolling Stones headlined and a member of the Hell's Angels, which were providing security, stabbed to death an 18-year-old who allegedly pulled a gun. After the jump: Footage from the excellent 1970 doc Gimme Shelter of an understandably scared and concerned Mick Jagger pleading with the unruly crowd--check out the close-ups, not a sober face to be found--to "cool out" while in the middle of "Sympathy for the Devil." As the comments attest, there's still much controversy regarding the Hell's Angels role in the killing.

Keibler, 34, and Pobre, who married on a beach in Punta Mita, Mexico on March 8, are over the moon about becoming parents.
ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢m extremely excited about starting a family and building a future with Stacy,ââ¬Â says Pobre, 39, CEO of Future Ads, a private interactive firm.
ââ¬ÅWeââ¬â¢re really eager to start a family,ââ¬Â Keibler told PEOPLE before exchanging vows in front of a small group of family and friends.
ââ¬ÅBoth Jared and I didnââ¬â¢t think that we were ever going to get married or have kidsââ¬Â¦ When you meet the right person, everything changes.ââ¬Â
The parents-to-be were friends for five years before sparks flew and romance blossomed last fall.
ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢m so excited for the new chapter in my life,ââ¬Â the actress and TV host says. ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢m so ready for it. I feel for the first time like Iââ¬â¢m really fulfilled and at peace.ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅThey are incredibly happy,ââ¬Â says a friend of the baby news. ââ¬ÅThis is something they have talked about from the beginning.ââ¬Â
This will be the first child for the couple, who spent the weekend in the kitchen, sharing their creations on Keiblerââ¬â¢s Instagram account. ââ¬ÅWhat do [you] think weââ¬â¢re gonna cook up tomorrow?ââ¬Â she asked Sunday evening. The answer? A bun in the oven.
How cute! Congrats to the couple!

For oil reserves, for distant starlight to reach the earth, and for God (who created time)
CMI's Dr Jonathan Sarfati and Dr David Catchpoole answer questions about whether oil is a renewable resource, a skeptic's misunderstanding of creationist arguments, and how God can be outside time.
F.S. from Australia writes:
Dear Sir / Madam,
Re: oil formation
I have just been reading an article on 'In The Days' (which is a Biblical Prophesy site) about oil not being a fossil fuel and not being finite.
Ref: [ed.: references deleted as per feedback rules]
I have searched your information and have only found that some oil can be made from other rocks, like shale, but not that it is continually being made.
Could you please comment on the 'renewability' and 'finiteness' of oil?
from F.S….

Carry On Jack
Bernard Cribbins, Juliet Mills and Kenneth Williams star in Gerard Thomas's 19th-century high-seas romp, the first of the Carry On comedies to adopt period costume.
Daft but wonderful 1950s sci-fi fable about a scientist whose tinkering with the laws of nature lead to a terrible result - he gains a fly's head
Despite one of the silliest concepts in horror cinema - Price admitted being unable to keep a straight face during filming - there is something irresistable about this tale of a man who swaps heads with a housefly.
Andre Delambre (Hedison) is a scientist in that wonderful 1950s mould - he's a genius tinkering with atomics, but he's also a domestic sort of chap. His invention of a machine that can transport matter - a teleporter basically - is the source of the troubles. To prove that it works, he tries it on himself. Whoops, suddenly Andre's got a fly's head and leg, while a poor housefly is sporting Andre's head and a human arm. Wife Helene (Owens) and brother François (Price) are of course powerless to help. Andre has learned the hard way the perils of trying to bend the laws of nature too far.
From the grisly opening (the fly-man coerces his Helene into helping him to commit suicide in a hydraulic press) to the spider's web finale ("Help meeeeeeee! Please help meeeeeeeeee!"), the film is overcooked to the point of hysteria. Yet the unmasking of the fly at the end is the most effective scene of its kind since The Phantom of the Opera in 1925.
Funny, horrible and inventive - in its own deranged way this is a classic of 1950s horror.

John McCain Refuses to Apologize for Calling the Tea Party "Hobbits"
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I'm calling because I think conservatives should embrace being called hobbits by the establishment because in the movie the Lord of the Rings the hobbits are the heroes who succeed where the elites have failed in defeating a tyranny. The movie is about power. There's a ring of power, and all these elites are unable to give up the power. Whenever they get the ring, they're corrupted, but the hobbits are the only characters in the entire movie who resist the power and are willing to relinquish the power and defeat the tyranny. So, I mean it's… I mean, that's not what McCain was intending. He was intending to insult us, but actually hobbits are the heroes.
RUSH: No, the people using the term "hobbit" are insulting us as deformed little, irrelevant people.
CALLER: Yeah, but they're the heroes. It's not about looks, it's about ideology.

CAN WE SAY, "UPGRADE?" Good evening my wonderful readers! Before I get into my Seattle topic, have you all voted for your Fifty Shades scene, created by you? Poll closes on Thursday evening and I will post the winning scene on Friday. So vote now! Posts are to the left! So, in my "Sleepless in Seattle" blog, I mentioned that Kelly and I are wishing/hoping/praying to make it back to Seattle sometime next year. I assume all of you reading this are as #GREYsessed as us, so imagine actually going to the birthplace of the Fifty Shades trilogy!! We've done in twice for Twilight. Two years ago to Portland, Oregon, where Twilight was actually filmed and then this year to Forks, Washington. Both were a Twihard's dream come true. Picturesque and breathtaking doesn't begin to describe the Northwest. And actually standing in the exact spots where Kristen, Rob, and Taylor did is pretty darn cool! (funny note-the tree scene where Edward takes Bella "above the clouds" to expose the blood-sucking disco ball that he is and where he says, "I am designed to kill." and "You're like a drug to me", was filmed in the back parking lot of a restaurant. The rocks and trees are on a much smaller scale in real life. Movie magic at its best!) As I posted in "The Mothership", our recent trip to Seattle/Forks gave us the ultimate Fifty fan experience by way of the Escala. We never actually realized it was a real building, or at least never gave it much thought. The only thing that may have topped that moment would've been finding out that Christian Grey was in fact for real. Imagine two grown women petting and rubbing this building, as if it were Aladdin's lamp granting us three wishes. Oh, and what would those three wishes be? World peace, to lose the muffin top forever, or a Starbucks kiosk equipped with my own barista? All would be lovely, but I'm gonna go big and say 1-that Christian Grey was in fact alive and well upstairs in the penthouse. 2-That Christian Grey is waiting in the Red Room of Pain for Anastasia Steele. And 3. Oh, what a ka-winky-dink, my name is Anastasia Steele. So if you'll excuse me, but I've got an elevator to catch. I can bet that Kelly has the same 3 wishes. As well as the majority of women who have read the books! Since we know those wishes are not going to happen anytime soon, the next best thing this crazy duo have promised to do is go back and do it Fifty Shades style. **Note to self-gotta start cutting back at Target. The husband is sitting here paying bills and I am in trouble with a capital T. Dang it, Target. Couldn't your computers just happen to forget to bill me just once? Unhappy husband = more begging/pleading/crying about another Seattle trip. Wow, my Seattle buzz just got stomped on by the big bullseye that is Target. Ok, happy place, happy place….go to my happy place. I'm back and ready to start this virtual trip. Well, after the lovely kidless and vomit free flight (yes, I get motion sick..alot. just looking at the ocean can put me in a tailspin) in first class, we are ready to hit the town running. And how are we going to do this? By renting an Audi of course! The silver Audi sport sedan convertible to be specific. How awesome will it be to go cruising with the top down while blasting some "Sex on Fire?" It's a step up from the Dodge silver bullet we drove the last visit, and if our inner-goddess is to come out swinging, then nothing but an Audi will do! And we aim to please the inner goddess! Now, we all now that the Escala isn't going to offer a room to the crazies, so we may have to slum it and stay at a nearby hotel or with Kelly's friend again. But we will only be a hop away from the Kinky Kingdom, so we can go by as much as we want to stare and pet it as needed. Well, until our picture is posted on the door saying "If you see these 2 freaks, please let them know that Christian Grey does not live here." All good, that's what wigs and sunglasses are for. In fact, those will work well when we pose as potential residents of the Escala. Being our husbands are being transferred to Seattle to work at Grey Enterprises;) Ok maybe not but we will someway/somehow step foot into Emerald City. And actually, Kelly's friend does know some lucky ducky person that lives there, so this scenario may come to fruition (grinning, big time!) There are some cushy sofas in the lobby that my Asian behind needs to sit on. I am sure at some point that Ana sat there, waiting for Christian or Taylor, right? So after Kelly and I have our Twinings' English Breakfast tea as we sit next to the roaring fire, we make our way up to the (gasp!) penthouse. But first comes the elevator ride up. And really, what is it about elevators? Ms. James nailed it (hee hee) when she gave us those elevator scenes filled with such sexual tension.We will never be able to go up in one again without visions of "fuck the paperwork" dancing in our heads! Makes a girl want to spend the day going up and down in one, hoping to get lucky herself. Now, I've seen many pictures of the actual penthouse, and it can definitely pass as Christian's pad. Cue the piano music, as we step inside and watch Fifty Shades of Grey come to life. The floor to ceiling windows, providing the entire Seattle skyline. And speaking of pianos, just looking at the piano brings not only beautiful and emotional music to my ears, but also "here's where they got kinky" thoughts to my head. And would it be ok for me to just get on top of the piano for a quick photo op? Because I need to really see how comfortable or not it is up there while getting well,….ya know;) Then I think we should make our way to the massive kitchen and reenact Ana's cooking. Or perhaps baking Fifty's chocolate birthday cake? Either way, I will have the iPod on hand, with "Crazy in Love" http://youtu.be/KeY1cXY_xn0 ready on replay mode. And we can't forget to take a peek into the bathroom and bedroom. Think a quick jump into the tub is an acceptable request? I'm thinking if I make it onto the piano, the tub's a no-brainer. Oh, but I can't actually fill it will lovely smelling bath gels and make my own Christian whirlpool? Too much? Ok, I'll save that for the Heathman. Yes, girlfriends, put the top down, because the Audi is going for a ride! Have any of you heard that the Heathman now offers "Fifty Shades" packages? For a mere $2700, you can get the "Charlie Tango package" This includes a helicopter ride, and dinner for six at the restaurant. Oysters, anyone? For that price, Christian Grey or his real-lfe twin better show up in the penthouse and ready to peel my plum dress off! But something tells me that we will be purchasing the $40 package that includes a bottle of the vintage wine from the books, and a commemorative silver tie. Ok, it's no Charlie Tango experience, but still love that the hotel is embracing their new-found fame! I wonder how many women are just randomly walking into the lobby, just to ride elevator 3! I know I would if I lived there! And it's probably a good thing I don't because Crazy 1 and Crazy 2 (oh, Kelly and I if you didn't guess), would be doing the stalker "Penthouse, please" ride on a daily basis until security caught on. But I think we can manage to get at least one ride up during our trip and not cause a scene. Well, that is if we can get all the pictures of us posing in the elevator as Ana. And while at the Heathman, we must have dinner. As we head to the bar, we envision Christian is there, waiting with his wine. Him in his white linen shirt, black jeans, tie and jacket. Leaning on the bar and looking ridiculously hot. Oh, wait! Ah ha moment just as I am typing… Let's keep it real, before I go full fairytale on you, and acknowledge this PROBABLY won't happen. Christian that is. BUT, Flat Christian can happen! We all know Flat Stanley right? Laminated cartoon guy that travels the world by way of every kid in elementary school. But being the grown adult I am, I will have my adult version, named flat Christian. Genius!!! Now we are talking. Being that Christian Bale is my Christian Grey, I can make mine look just that! Love a project, and imagine the photo ops. Flat Christian on the bar, in the elevator, and sitting at dinner with us. Hello, Flat Christian! Care for oysters, asparagus, black cod, and crushed potatoes with hollandaise sauce? Hmm, wonder if that's actually on the menu. Must Ask! Then must take a picture of us wining and dining with FC! Don't think I've gone full whack-a-doodle yet? You will when I just got another "she's gone nuts" idea…Flat Stanley- colorforms style!! Remember colorforms? Flat playsets where you could make your own scenes or styles over and over again with the reusable pieces? That's what we need for Flat Christian!We need the ripped jeans, silver tie, and CEO-suits, right? I am thinking small pieces of velcro makes for quick wardrobe changes! I know you are all doing the Ana eye roll. Because you probably practice it anyways "just in case", and I know you are imagining yourself with a flat Christian but won't admit it! (tip: admitting you're crazy is the first step! Loud and proud girls! Group rate at the looney bin is available.) So eye roll all you want, but when I post pics of FC, you are going to wish for your own Colorforms set yourself! Don't worry, I take all major credit cards and Paypal too;) So, sounds like I have got my to do list before I can take off and morph into Ana. First, Target has got to burn down or something like it. Second, get Kelly's friend to get us into the Escala. Third, price out the Audi rental. Fourth, buy a plum dress. http://youtu.be/ArDXxTsJJoo (side note: added "freakum dress", by Beyonce here. couldn't help it. Here's just a few lines. "Cause when he's acting wrong/that's when you put it on/Oh been on him uptight/Oh this is your song/Oh hold out your back/Oh time to impress/Pull out your freakum dress." love.it.) Come on, how ridiculously funny would it be to prance through the Heathman in that dress? Well, actually if Kelly has one on too, we'd look just plain ridiculous. Okay, fifth-rock, paper, scissors with Kelly for wearing of the plum dress. Sixth-start working on Flat Christian. Because all that wardrobe takes time. Especially if we are to make a mini silver tie using actual material.How cute, a mini tie! It's going to be a mini-me Christian! So not truly not a flat Christian, because we are upgrading with some dimension, and accessories.(thinking blackberry, flogger, Charlie Tango toy, only smaller and made of paper). Yes, this idea is awesome, if only for great pictures that will seal the deal for my kids future with a therapy couch. Oh, and seventh-buy a wig and glasses. Or some sort of costume so we can outwit the entire Seattle security force, and be unrecognizable in the inevitable mug shots. It's all good though. What's the motto, my loyal readers? No, it's not, "Is it me or is she crazy?" good one though. It's "loud and proud", and I will go down with that in mind- or at least what's left of it! Besides, I plan to video us embracing this entire show of freakdom, and will be great footage when Ellen hears about our adventure and later arrest. Then she'll be begging for us to come on the show (finally) and tell our story. Yes, I said FINALLY. Because I am about to go full throttle on you deserving readers. Deserving to hear what is the true level of freakdom that Kelly and I have been pursuing in the last month or so. Yes, it involves Ellen. Are you ready to hear it, free of judgement and calling of men in white jackets? Ok, then stay tuned…………………….

Building a global carbon market The European Unions vision Artur Runge-Metzger Head of International Climate Negotiations, European Commission In-session workshop on means to reach emission reduction targets, AWG 5.1, Bangkok, 1-3 April 2008
2 The EUs global vision – 2 degrees objective
3 Mitigation by industrialised countries Common but differentiated responsibility: take the lead and make most of the effort EU commitments: 20% unilaterally by 2020 30% in context global deal 60-80% by 2050 Carbon market as a key tool Binding and effective rules for monitoring and enforcing commitments
4 Mitigation in developing countries Toolbox: oNo commitments for least developed countries oSustainable development policies oEnhanced CDM oPerformance-based funding oSectoral approaches oQuantified emission limits Reaching development objectives will be imperative; mitigation and adaptation Reduce growth of emissions asap, and absolute reductions after 2020
5 Building a global carbon market The carbon market: cost-effective and flexible mitigation tool and source of finance for low- GHG technology development EUs aim: progressive development towards global carbon market Countries take part according to different responsibilities and capabilities Backed by ambitious mitigation commitments in line with 2 degree objective Build on existing mechanisms, link schemes and develop new mechanisms
6 The role of the carbon market (I): 27 Gt CO 2 e emission reduction potential below 40/ton CO 2
7 Each Parties opportunity + responsibility mainly in household, buildings, transport Exchange good practice in policy design: e.g. –Abandon energy subsidies (fossil fuels: ~ 130 billion p.a.) –Domestic company-based emissions trading –Set energy efficiency standards, building codes, labelling schemes, 1-Watt-Initiative –Ban the bulb: CFL, LED –Progressive taxation –Address potential cash flow issues, e.g. targeted loan schemes (e.g. refurbishment of existing power plants) The role of the carbon market (II): No. 1 = 6-7 Gt CO 2 e: Harvest all low hanging fruits by 2020
8 Domestic emissions trading schemes to set carbon price for private sector. Less developed countries: strengthened CDM to drive technology transfer and economic transformation Complementary approaches needed to address sectors not covered by the carbon market, other barriers and possibly to scale up finance Advanced developing countries: move beyond offsetting, new mechanisms to incentivise increased mitigation contributions Carefully watch demand and supply! The role of the carbon market (III): No. 2 = 10 – 12 Gt CO 2 e: carbon market will be the main driver
9 Promote co-operation for research and technology development (e.g. joint ventures, PPP) Subsidies for demonstration, e.g. NZEC Direct subsidies for deployment of clean technologies, e.g. GEEREF, export credits, PPP, concessional IFI loans Reduce tariffs for advanced GHG-efficient products and services Promote regulatory approaches gaining energy security/clean air benefits: e.g. mandatory standards (cars, appliances), fuel taxes, portfolio standards (e.g. renewable energy, CCS) The role of the carbon market (IV): No. 3 = 10 – 12 Gt CO 2 e: promote high-end options
10 Clean Development Mechanism (I) CDM has delivered real and measurable benefits and generated a multi-billion dollar market (28 billion in 2007)
11 Continuity for the CDM post-2012 EU Commission proposal would allow 2.63 Gt (1.4 Gt in the EU ETS, 1.23 Gt MS use) of CERs to be used until 2020 independent of an international agreement Includes ongoing projects registered before 2012 and projects established post-2012 in LDCs EU first to provide certainty for CER use post-2012 – no one else does so far! About one third of the necessary reduction effort towards 20% target from CDM/JI - other two thirds ensure real emission reductions in Europe Unlimited access to CDM/JI under the 20% target would lead to drop in CER price to 4 and increase of EU domestic emissions to about 4% above 1990 = contradicts EU objectives of climate policy leadership and energy security. Substantial increase as part of Copenhagen agreement: EU Commission proposal would allow half of the additional effort (~1.2 Gt extra: totalling ~70bn of transfers, i.e. ~6bn annually) to be met by CDM/JI or new mechanisms.
12 Clean Development Mechanism (II) Reform of CDM for post-2012 needs to address the following concerns: –strengthen environmental integrity: ensure real and additional emission reductions (key to offsetting mechanism) –address possible perverse incentives resulting from (low-cost) CDM –review current institutional set-up and procedures (Article 9) Strengthen CDMs contribution to technology transfer and economic transformation in less developed regions Need to move beyond offsetting for advanced developing countries will be key for post-2012 – explore new approaches, e.g. baseline/credit, sectoral approaches
13 CDM – some proposals More executive and supervisory role of EB, including delegation of decision-making and strengthened professional support staff Revision of CDM decision-making procedures, including strengthening the basis and transparency of decision- making Assessment of roles and responsibilities of DOEs Increased use of technology benchmarks for baseline setting and additionality testing Dialogue with host countries on how to strengthen contribution to SD and tech transfer More differentiated approach to CDM will help improve regional distribution
14 Joint Implementation JI has delivered benefits, but not yet realised its full potential Role for JI post-2012: stimulating international collaboration and channeling investment and technology towards certain mitigation opportunities and sectors, which otherwise lack access to the global carbon market JI allows for institutional learning about market-based approaches and a transitional step before wider application of cap-and-trade Need to discuss JI post-2012 and explore new concepts: –May need to continue with a two-track approach with internationally supervised procedure (track 2) for countries that still lack institutional and legislative framework for JI track 1 –Explore synergies and parallels with revision of CDM for track 2 procedure, e.g. on simplifying and streamlining institutional set-up and procedures and strengthening environmental integrity –Explore new concepts such as programmatic JI
15 Shared vision of a low-carbon future: Annex I Offsetting is not enough How can the carbon market build on measurable, reportable and verifiable mitigation action by developing countries? What means of support are needed in addition to the carbon market? In which way can the carbon market most effectively contribute to sustainable development and technology transfer? What is needed in which countries and which sectors? IPCC 2007, WGIII, ch. 13
16 Need to explore new mechanisms to incentivise enhanced mitigation: e.g. no-lose sectoral crediting mechanism Source: Ecofys
17 Conclusions Significant role of the carbon market already today – should be strenghtened post-2012. An environmentally more effective CDM should continue to play a role Offsetting is not enough – carbon market offers promising potential if we succeed in developing new tools that build on differentiated contributions by developing countries Carbon market is part of the solution but not a panacea – needs to be combined with other tools to further technology cooperation, financial flows and investment

Mobile Surveillance
By Michael Grebb, Thu Dec 20 00:00:00 GMT 2001
Newly passed legislation grants the US Government some hefty powers, with broad implications for the mobile industry.
In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, it didn't take much arm twisting for the U.S. Justice Department to receive scores of new powers that presumably would help deter attacks in the future and, in a sadly necessary way, allow authorities to play a little dirtier than they have before.
After a six-week debate on Capitol Hill, U.S. President George W. Bush signed the USA Patriot Act into law on Oct. 26, changing the entire matrix of fighting crime in America, at least temporarily (The new powers will expire in 2005 unless Congress renews them. The Bush Administration had originally requested permanent authority).
The new law grants many new powers, including controversial ones allowing authorities to hold suspected terrorists up to seven days without charging them with a crime and to continue using its "Carnivore" software to intercept email transmissions (although the FBI still must obtain a court order to read actual email content).
For a wireless industry rapidly growing and adding new wireless Web features every day, this new law will forever change the degree to which wireless service providers will have to cooperate with law enforcement authorities. In some ways, they will be forced to balance their need to help authorities with reassuring customers that their privacy remains important and protected. It won't be easy.
Walking a thin line
"We've always swung back and forth on these things," says Bob Rosenberg, a wireless analyst at Insight Research. "Right now, the pendulum is swinging on the side of security. It will swing back when the threat goes away."
Of course, it's impossible to know when that will occur. In the mean time, the wireless industry may in fact be facing increased costs and time-consuming new duties to help authorities track wireless messaging and maintain "roving wiretaps," which under the new law allows authorities to tap an individual rather than just a phone line and to do so with a single court order.
"There will be added costs," Rosenberg says. For example, an ISP with wireless email features would still need to open up a port on their router to track email transmissions from their main hub, adding such functionality to both the wireless and wireline operations.
While software could do much of this automatically, large volumes of requests from the government could require some ISPs to hire new staffers to process the requests and, of course, stop tracking emails when the government is through with a particular investigation. Rosenberg predicts that consumers might have to absorb such costs, at least temporarily, in the form of surcharges on their bills. "But for now, everyone will be happy to pay the 50 cents per month," he says.
The question, of course, is for how long? And furthermore, it's unclear whether the new law will overburden the wireless industry (as well as ISPs and other software vendors whose Web apps run on wireless devices) at a time when the economy is creating vast challenges for the industry at large. All of this exists before a backdrop of potential exhaustion on the part of customers, who may at some point resent the idea that their transmissions could seemingly be intercepted at any moment - with the willing help of their wireless carrier or wireless ISP.
The authorities, however, deny that they will abuse their new powers. In extraordinary times, they argue, authorities must be given unprecedented powers to protect public safety.
Many experts also note that in addition to the new law's built-in 2005 expiration, Congress rarely allows intelligence agencies to operate unimpeded for long-especially after a specific threat has dissipated. But the remnants of powers granted during times like these don't disappear overnight either.
"The FBI keeps getting these privileges taken away because of abuse and then, in a time of crisis, gets them back again," says Richard Isaacs, a security expert with The Lubrinco Group. "Between Carnivore, Echelon [used by the National Security Agency to intercept international wireless transmissions], and assaults on encryption, privacy will take another nosedive. We never fully recover from these incursions, even when the pendulum swings the other way."
Freedom vs. security
Of course, Americans-rattled by constant Anthrax scares and the haunting memories of the twin towers collapsing live on television-seem more willing today to give up some civil liberties in pursuit of greater public safety. In fact, the speed with which the USA Patriot Act moved through Congress after Sept. 11 may be testament to the changing whims of a public desperate for the government to stop future terrorism on U.S. soil.
"People will tolerate a lot of intrusions into their privacy," says Mark Rasch, vice president of cyberlaw at Predictive Systems. "We have created an expectation of what we're expected to tolerate."
Others wonder whether most citizens really have much to worry about anyway, considering that the mere volume of wireless traffic makes the chances of being targeted miniscule-especially when dealing with Internet-based transmissions.
"With the incalculable amount of information that is transmitted over the Internet daily, the odds of wireless tapping are no greater than working from your hard-wired home PC or laptop," says Andy Fox, chairman and co-founder of iConverse, a mobile application technology provider. "Internet users have always been aware of the threat that someone is looking over their digital shoulders so-to-speak. But the odds definitely fall in the user's favor."
Rosenberg agrees that authorities face far greater challenges in tracking wireless data packets that travel over the Internet than in tapping traditional wireless phone calls. "It's considerably more difficult to be able to deal in the Internet space than in the wireless carrier space," he says.
"These transmissions are going to be routed all over the world to cover their tracks. And the kind of computer power required to sift through that would have to be a lot. Carnivore is essentially a vacuum cleaner. The traffic is doubling every year. By the time you have something built, it's obsolete."
Wired vs. wireless
Indeed, the FBI's current Carnivore email tracking system - which can be used for wireless data transmissions as well - can't begin to gather intelligence on any piece of email bouncing around the Internet.
In the future, the FBI is expected to take a more localized approach in which suspect individuals are targeted and their emails monitored closely. The trade-off may be that other suspect transmissions fall through the cracks, but it may be the best the authorities can do until they have more powerful computers capable of processing and analyzing more traffic.
The government will likely have a far easier time tapping traditional wireless phone conversations, especially with its newly expanded "roving wiretap" authority. In addition, the wireless industry already has an apparatus in place to help authorities: Under the existing Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), wireless carriers already tap phones for authorities when a court order is issued.
According to the 2000 Wiretap Report, wireless carriers tapped 691 lines compared to only 236 wiretaps for landline carriers, numbers that will presumably multiply in the wake of the new law.
But Tom Wheeler, president of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA), says the USA Patriot Act shouldn't overburden wireless carriers even though they perform more court-ordered wiretaps per subscriber line than any other telecom industry segment. "Whatever the Congress has authorized, we will do it," he said at a recent press briefing.
Wheeler noted that the government actually compensates carriers for costs associated with wiretaps, meaning that the new law shouldn't negatively impact the industry. In fact, some feel the wireless industry may even get a boost from consumers' desire to stay connected.
"With recent current events, Americans are finding it necessary to outfit themselves with mobile phones, PDAs, and pagers to keep themselves informed and in-touch," says iConverse's Fox. In this post-Sept. 11 world, keeping in touch with family and friends may indeed have taken on new urgency and meaning-whether or not the government is listening in.
Michael Grebb has previously written for The Industry Standard, Business 2.0, and eCompany. From Washington DC, he covers the impact of mobile technology on modern society.

Segovia (Baetica)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Segovia (Σεγουβία, Ptol. ii. 6. § 56) was an ancient city of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica, on the river Silicense (probably the modern Guadajoz. (Hirt. B. A. 57.) Its current location is in the neighborhood of Sacili or the modern Pedro Abad, Córdoba, Spain.
It is a possible site of the battle in 75 BCE where Metellus was victorious over the general of Sertorius, Hirtuleius. Hirtuleius died in the fighting[1]

Then I had to call him back to explain that it might be a little early for me, as I would be coming from Newcastle! In the end, we agreed to meet at Manchester United's training ground at 2pm on Thursday.
The time was for my benefit, not his. Alex had been there since 9.30am, despite his team playing in the Champions League in Copenhagen the night before.
This small incident brought home to me why he is the greatest manager of his generation and still going strong after 20 years at United.
Besides the obvious qualities a top manager needs, such as judgment, personal skills and knowledge of the game, he stands out for pure dedication to his job and loyalty to his club.
I've known him 25 years but, as he showed me around the fantastic facilities at Carrington, it was clear he had lost none of his enthusiasm or hunger for the job.
On the desk in his office was a book of Robert Burns' poems. He will read one to start the day. They are often about hard work and hardship — the life of working men. Whatever the situation at United, the poems put his life in perspective and make him realise football is a fantastic world, and why he loves every minute of it.
Alex seemed very proud as he showed me the facilities at Carrington, and rightly so. He took a big interest in how it was built, personally visiting other clubs like Bayern Munich to see what they had done.
I was open-mouthed as we walked and he explained the reasoning behind everything. I looked down from the window in his office on several training pitches, all with undersoil heating. I counted 22 fitness bikes in the gym where the first-team squad can warm up together before training. By the pool, I spotted an underwater treadmill to aid the recovery of injured players. Alex said they had five full-time physios as well as academy coaches, fitness coaches and a club doctor.
It became clear that Alex has built a dynasty at United not only by developing great players and building great teams, but also by having the foresight of how the club should be run for future generations of players. And it is down to him more than anyone else. Younger supporters won't remember but they were not always the United they are today.
They were relegated in the Seventies and didn't win the title for 26 years. Now with all the success he has enjoyed, expectations are so high that even second place is seen as failure.
We first met when my Ipswich side went to Aberdeen as UEFA Cup holders in 1981. They knocked us out 3-1 and I remember being undone by a couple of exciting young wide players, Peter Weir and Gordon Strachan.
I made a note of Alex then, little realising what he would go on to achieve. We had a few great Premiership tussles after I went back to Newcastle. I remember having a cup of coffee with him in my office before one game at St James' Park. Alex went mad with the referee during the game because he felt Andy O'Brien should have been red-carded for fouling Ryan Giggs (he had a point actually!) Instead, it was Alex who was sent off for his outburst and when I got back to my office after the game, which United won 2-1, Alex was there having a drink! Apparently, he'd gone in after being sent packing and watched the rest of the match on the television in my room. On another occasion, he confided in me he was thinking of packing it in. I was almost angry with him.
I first demanded to know what the heck he was going to do instead. And secondly, I asked him, having worked so hard to build a great club and a great young team, why would he want to hand it over to someone else and risk it being spoiled. I could feel he wanted to carry on and I am just glad he did.
There will eventually come a time when Alex leaves but who can say when? I don't think we should discount a 25th anniversary at all. It would be natural for him to want to see the Rooney-Ronaldo team he is building reach its peak. And Alex has learned the art of delegating better than I did.
He knows how to pass jobs on to different people without losing an inch of control himself. When Alex does decide to leave, I think he will have a big say in the selection of his successor.
I know it's unusual for a board to consider the views of an outgoing manager but what Alex has done at United is unique. I think the club will listen to him about the next manager — but only when he thinks it is right and not before. Alex has spent 20 years building a club where they have a magnificent stadium, world-class players and global support.
But it won't take long to undo all the good work if the wrong manager comes in who doesn't understand what Sir Alex has done. I'm not sure a foreign coach is the answer, no matter how big their reputation. I honestly think Alex will be the best person to judge who the next Alex should be. I will see him and a lot of his other friends in football at a special commemorative lunch tomorrow and I can't wait to pay tribute to a man I've no hesitation in calling the greatest manager of our time.

Skye man John Lawrence Sheedy from Kyleakin was one of eight servicemen on the submarine HMS 'Vanguard' who cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats for charity.
The group set off on 9th June from Land's End and arrived at John O'Groats on 19th June after cycling 933 miles.
The charities to benefit are the Soldiers and Sailors Families Association and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity. Both of these offer practical, emotional and financial support enabling serving and former personnel and their families to have a better quality of life. Altogther the group have raised over £3,000 so far.
John Lawrence (second left) was also doing the cycle in aid of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and has so far raised £440.
