What is a Treaty?
A treaty is an agreement between States (countries) which is binding at international law. In some cases international organisations can be parties to treaties. An agreement between an Australian State or Territory and a foreign Government will not, therefore, be a treaty. Even if a document is agreed between two or more sovereign countries, it will not be a treaty unless those countries intend the document to be binding at international law. A treaty may also be called a 'treaty', 'convention', 'protocol', 'covenant' or 'exchange of letters'
Treaties can be bilateral - between Australia and one other country. An aviation agreement between Australia and the United States is one example. Multilateral treaties are those between three or more countries: an example is the United Nations Charter. Multilateral treaties are generally developed under the auspices of international (inter-governmental) organisations such as the United Nations or the International Labour Organisation, but regional multilateral treaties (like the Convention for the Protection of the Natural Resources and Environment of the South Pacific Region 'SPREP') are of growing importance for Australia.
Frequently, 'declarations', such as the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, are adopted by the UN General Assembly. However, those declarations are not treaties as they are not intended to be binding by reason of their adoption. Such declarations may, however, be part of a long process that leads ultimately to the negotiation of a UN convention such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. They may also, in certain circumstances, assist in the interpretation of a treaty, as is the case with the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States (1970).
Why are Treaties necessary?
Arguably, the need for treaties has increased as the world's interdependence has intensified. Continuing technological innovation, economic globalisation and the growth of transnationalism has resulted in an enormous increase in the frequency and rapidity of global interaction. Such challenges require both national and international responses. Where a problem cannot be adequately addressed by a country acting alone (for example, in relation to ozone depletion or the depletion of migratory fish stocks), acting cooperatively at the international level becomes essential for a country to protect its own interests.
What subjects are covered by Treaties?
In recent decades, the issues subject to treaties have expanded. Australia is a Party to agreements on postal, shipping and social security and health arrangements, defence and security, nuclear non-proliferation, the environment, civil aviation, maritime delimitation, technological exchanges, and agreements designed to establish universal standards in relation to the treatment of civilians in time of war. Australia has also invested considerable energy into outlawing the use of weapons of mass destruction, and into various aspects of law of the sea and the international trading system. The need for global rules on the protection and promotion of human rights, education, the environment, wildlife and the world's cultural and natural heritage is now widely accepted. Most recently, the establishment of effective international regimes to combat criminal activity which does not respect national borders, including terrorism, has taken on a new urgency.
Treaties, the Constitution and the National Interest
The power to enter into treaties is an executive power within Section 61 of the Australian Constitution and accordingly, is the formal responsibility of the Executive rather than the Parliament. Decisions about the negotiation of multilateral conventions, including determination of objectives, negotiating positions, the parameters within which the Australian delegation can operate, and the final decision as to whether to sign and ratify are taken at Ministerial level, and in many cases, by Cabinet.
As well as providing certainty, Australia's constitutional system also ensures that checks and balances operate. This occurs through Parliament's role in examining all proposed treaty actions and in passing legislation to give effect to treaties and the judiciary's oversight of the system. This efficiency and certainty of process enables the Government to negotiate with its overseas counterparts with authority and credibility, and contributes to Australia becoming a source of influence in the treaty's negotiation.
Bilateral agreements that conform to a model text previously approved by Cabinet are normally not subsequently referred to Cabinet. These types of agreements include Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Treaties, Extradition Treaties and Aviation Agreements. They are, however, considered by Ministers prior to approval being given by Federal Executive Council for signature of the treaty.
Isn't there something undemocratic about treaty making being in the hands of the Executive?
Although the Constitution does not confer on the Parliament any formal role in treaty making, all treaties (except those the Government decided are urgent or sensitive) are tabled in both Houses of Parliament for at least 15 sitting days prior to binding treaty action being taken. A treaty is generally tabled after it has been signed for Australia, but before any treaty action is taken which would bind Australia under international law. Such action would include entering into a new treaty, negotiating an amendment to an existing treaty or withdrawing from a treaty.
Treaties are tabled in the Parliament with a National Interest Analysis (NIA) which notes the reasons why Australia should become a party to the treaty. Where relevant, this includes a discussion of the foreseeable economic, environmental, social and cultural effects of the treaty action; the obligations imposed by the treaty; its direct financial costs to Australia; how the treaty will be implemented domestically; what consultation has occurred in relation to the treaty action and whether the treaty provides for withdrawal or denunciation. Tabled NIAs are included in the Australian Treaties Library.
Treaties which affect business or restrict competition are also required to be tabled with a Regulation Impact Statement (RIS).
The Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT) considers tabled treaties. The Committee can also consider any other question relating to a treaty or international instrument that is referred to it by either House of Parliament or a Minister.
Since negotiations for major multilateral treaties are generally lengthy and quite public, parliamentary debate often takes place as the issues become publicly known. For example, as the Climate Change Convention was negotiated over a period of years, issues associated with the draft convention were the subject of questions without notice, questions on notice, and debate. In cases when implementing legislation is necessary prior to ratification, Parliament has a further opportunity to debate a treaty.
Why are international treaties important to Australia?
Australia participates in treaty making because it is in the national interest to do so. If the projection of military and economic power were the main means by which national objectives were pursued, Australia would be vulnerable. Our geographic isolation and small population would be seen as a weakness. Nations, particularly States with a relatively small population such as Australia, benefit from a world where interaction between countries takes place within a framework based on fair, agreed and transparent rules as agreed in treaties. Australia is not a member of any single rigid regional grouping; rather, we build global or regional alliances and through them, seek to influence the standards by which international relations are conducted.
How can Australia influence the terms of these treaties?
International conventions bring considerable benefits in a wide range of areas to individual nations, particularly small and middle-sized countries. Australia has its say in the drafting of these treaties by becoming involved in the international fora in which they are negotiated. As a middle ranking power, Australia's negotiating resources are finite. As a consequence, successive Governments have often sought to build international coalitions to advance our national interests. For example, in the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations, the Cairns Group, a coalition of likeminded agricultural exporting nations led by Australia, achieved a favourable outcome on agriculture, which brought Australia well over $1 billion per annum in increased agriculture exports and contributed to an increase in Australia's exports by $5 billion and in Australia's gross domestic product by $4.4 billion by 2002.
Australia has also helped shape a revised Law of the Sea Convention, in the process, gaining sovereign rights over extensive areas of sea and continental shelf. In the field of disarmament, Australia put together a comprehensive draft of a Chemical Weapons Convention and through active diplomacy, was instrumental in achieving a convention now approaching universal acceptance. Australia played a similar catalytic role in relation to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which aims to ban the testing of nuclear weapons.
Treaties also provide for international cooperation on law enforcement, such as in relation to drug trafficking; establish resource management regimes to encourage sustainable development, and enhance global and regional security, all of which benefit Australia.
Does ratification of international treaties result in a loss of sovereignty?
Ratification of international treaties does not involve a handing over of sovereignty to an international body. Treaties may define the scope of a State's action, and treaties which Australia ratifies may influence the way in which Australia behaves, internationally and domestically. Implicit, however, in any Australian decision to ratify a treaty is a judgement that any limitations on the range of possible actions which may result are outweighed by the benefits which flow from the existence of a widely endorsed international agreement.
The Government also retains the right to remove itself from treaty obligations if it judges that the treaty no longer serves Australia's national and international interests.
Some treaties establish a committee, which receives reports and monitors the implementation of obligations flowing from the treaty by States Parties. One such treaty body is the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which is responsible, among other things, for monitoring States Parties' implementations of their obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). But any assessments such treaty bodies make are of an advisory nature only. They are not binding and the Human Rights Committee has no enforceable legal jurisdiction over nation states which have acceded to the ICCPR or its First Optional Protocol.
The Government's decision on whether a treaty is in the national interest is based on information obtained during consultations with relevant stakeholders. Consultation does not take place merely so that those with an interest feel included in the process. The practice is to provide information about the treaty in question and, if possible, develop a consensus within the community before taking definitive treaty action. Inevitably, the final decision necessarily involves a balancing of competing interests.
State and territory governments
The State and Territory Governments are a primary focus of the consultation process. Many international treaties need State and Territory cooperation for their domestic implementation and, accordingly, discussions with State and Territory Governments occur at many levels ranging from that of experts to standing Ministerial Committees.
Another important mechanism for federal/state consultation is the Commonwealth-State-Territory Standing Committee on Treaties (SCOT) which consists of representatives from the Premier's or Chief Minister's Departments in every State and Territory. SCOT is chaired by a senior official of the Prime Minister's Department and also has representatives from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Attorney General's Department. This committee receives on a biannual basis a Treaties Schedule listing all international treaties that Australia is currently negotiating or which are under review. State and Territory representatives have the opportunity to seek further details, offer views and comments, and flag those matters on which they wish to be consulted or to improve the consultative mechanism.
Industry and other interest groups
Consultation with industry bodies and interest groups spans a wide range of processes, from standing bodies to informal methods. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) holds formal consultations with Non Government Organisations (NGOs) interested in international human rights issues where international instruments are on the agenda. The National Consultative Committee on Peace and Disarmament considers arms control issues, and the Trade Policy Advisory Committee enables the business community's interests in trade policy negotiations to be reflected in Government positions. Community consultation outside these standing arrangements is, however, an ongoing process. There are numerous other occasions and forums offered by DFAT at which interest groups or individuals have opportunities to seek information or raise concerns about the treaty process.
Enhancing consultations
It is not always possible to know all the community groups which might wish to contribute to the process of setting Australia's objectives and positions. To facilitate public input, the Government prepares a list of all multilateral treaties currently under negotiation or review which can be found on the Australian Treaties Library Internet site. The list is updated approximately twice a year and tabled in both Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament. The list includes the name of the contact officer in the responsible Department to whom comments or questions can be directed for each treaty under negotiation. This provides greater transparency in the treaty making process and ensures that interested groups and individuals are in a position to contribute freely to Australia's negotiating position.
Negotiating and implementing Treaties
NGO and state and territory participation
Since expert, technical views are often needed by officials at international negotiations, representatives from the States, Territories, industry groups and other NGOs often serve as advisers to Australian delegations. These advisers are in a position to report back to their organisations on the room for manoeuvre for Australian initiatives and positions. This process is frequently employed when key new multilateral regimes are being negotiated in areas like the environment, trade, human rights and the law of armed conflict.
How does Australia become a party to a Treaty?
How a country joins a treaty is determined by the treaty in question. All bilateral treaties have a two stage entry into force mechanism. This allows a bilateral treaty to be tabled in Parliament after its signature but before binding treaty action is taken that would bring the treaty into force.
Modern multilateral treaties typically do not provide that signature alone is sufficient to bind a country to the terms of a treaty. When the text of a multilateral treaty is finalised, the common practice is to have the treaty 'open for signature' for a specified period. Countries may sign the treaty within that period but are not legally bound by its provisions until ratification occurs. Where a country has not signed a multilateral treaty, it will nevertheless generally be able to become a party to it. This is typically called an act of accession.
What is the scope of the Commonwealth's power to legislate?
If Commonwealth legislation is required to give effect to a treaty, the Government relies on the external affairs power in Section 51 (xxix) of the Constitution. In certain specific cases, however, for example, in giving effect to air navigation and shipping treaties, the Government relies on the trade and commerce power as well as the external affairs power. In many other cases, there is no need to rely on the external affairs power because the subject of that treaty already lies within other Commonwealth powers or because State and Territory Governments will enact appropriate legislation.
The Constitution also limits the Commonwealth's ability to exercise the external affairs power. For example, the Commonwealth Government may not remove constitutional rights, such as freedom of interstate trade, merely by relying on treaty provisions. Also, the Commonwealth's exercise of legislative powers, including the external affairs power, is subject to a principle that the continued existence of one or more States, or their capacity to function as States, must not be impaired.
Neither does the conclusion of a treaty automatically bring the entire subject matter within the legislative capacity of the Federal Government. For example, Australia's accession to the Convention on the Conservation of Nature in the South Pacific does not mean that the Commonwealth has thereby gained legislative power over the subject of 'nature conservation.' The external affairs power only enables legislation to be passed to give effect to the terms of the treaty, and for legislation to be valid, it must be reasonably considered to be appropriate and adapted to the implementation of a treaty.
Perhaps the most important constraint upon the Commonwealth is the fact that treaty making processes in Australia operate within a democratic context. This includes, ultimately, the knowledge that action by the Commonwealth Government which was widely perceived as contrary to Australia's interests could result in its defeat at the next election.
What happens once the Government has decided to enter into a Treaty?
Once an in-principle decision has been taken to agree to a treaty, the Commonwealth Government considers whether:
- specific implementing action is required;
- if so, whether existing legislation (Federal or State) is adequate; and
- if not, whether the treaty should be implemented by legislation at the Commonwealth or State/Territory level.
The prior approval of the Federal Executive Council is also required for Australia to enter into a treaty. The Executive Council comprises the Governor-General and all serving Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries. A meeting of the Executive Council requires the presence of the Governor-General plus two Ministers and/or Parliamentary Secretaries. The Executive Council requires certain documentation be presented to it showing that the decision to accept the rights and responsibilities associated with a treaty has been approved by Cabinet or by the relevant Ministers.
Do all treaties require legislation to operate in Australia?
The general position under Australian law is that treaties which Australia has joined, apart from those terminating a state of war, are not directly and automatically incorporated into Australian law. Signature and ratification do not, of themselves, make treaties operate domestically. In the absence of legislation, treaties cannot impose obligations on individuals nor create rights in domestic law. Nevertheless, international law, including treaty law, is a legitimate and important influence on the development of the common law and may be used in the interpretation of statutes.
New legislation is not always necessary
Many treaties do not require new or prior legislation, as they can be implemented through executive action (for example, trade cooperation, defence logistics and procurement treaties). Other treaties, including a number of international human rights and industrial relations treaties, have been ratified on the basis of an assessment by the Commonwealth that existing Commonwealth or State/Territory legislation is sufficient to implement the provisions of the convention (in other words, we are already meeting domestically the terms of the convention and no further action is necessary), or that the particular treaty obligations can be implemented progressively and without radical change to existing laws.
Relying on existing legislation may sometimes be problematic
Difficulties can arise if ratification relies on existing State or Territory legislation and that legislation is subsequently altered in a way that is incompatible with the relevant treaty. In such cases, consideration may be given to the Commonwealth passing legislation to bring Australia's laws back into line with its international obligations. Sometimes the interpretation of obligations under a treaty may evolve to the extent that the existing State/Territory law is no longer adequate to give effect to those obligations. Again, if a State or Territory is unwilling to effect necessary amendments to its own law, the Commonwealth may consider passing its own legislation.
If obligations are not fully covered by existing legislation, new laws may be needed
If new legislation is required to implement the treaty, the normal practice is to require that it be passed before Australia brings the treaty into force. This is because subsequent Parliamentary passage of the necessary legislation cannot be presumed, entailing a risk that Australia could find itself legally bound by an international obligation which it could not fulfil.
Examples of treaties where specific legislation will be necessary are those requiring specific outcomes which can only be achieved by imposing legislative requirements on individuals. For example, legislation was necessary to give effect to an obligation under the Montreal Protocol to ban the manufacture of, and trade in, certain products containing harmful ozone depleting substances.
Is treaty making being used by the Commonwealth to grab power from the States?
Globalisation has changed the way all levels of Government interact with the international system. The States and Territories are increasingly aware of the benefit of having a global 'voice', and playing a greater role in the world's deliberations on international rule making. State tourism offices, premiers' trips overseas to raise finance or attract investment, relevant ministers working with their counterparts to develop specific trade opportunities are just some examples of these trends. The increased presence of State and Territory representatives on delegations to international meetings (including for the negotiation and implementation of international treaties) demonstrates the importance of treaties to the States and Territories.
The Principles and Procedures for Commonwealth-State-Territory Consultation on Treaties sets out the arrangements governing the provision of information, consultative mechanisms and the implementation of treaties and other international instruments that are of particular sensitivity and importance to the State and Territory Governments. Under these procedures, the Commonwealth may consider relying on State or Territory legislation where the treaty affects an area of particular concern to the States or Territories and adoption of that course is consistent with the national interest and the effective and timely discharge of treaty obligations.

I just published a comment to today's post on "Mitt's Tax Plan" from tax professional Tom Kaminski (aka "Knobby"). Here is what Tom said –
"All this talk about taxes makes my gut tell me that one, we probably will end up with having a VAT in America before 2017. And two, the tax code is going to end up being a complete mess, only because I don't see the mentality in Con-gress at the moment to fix it properly.
If they all really want a simple tax system they can go back some 25+ yrs. to when Hall-Rabushka first proposed their 19% flat tax system. They laid everything out including forms."
Here is the word on the "Hall-Rabuska" flat tax proposal that Tom references (which was new to me) from the Tax Policy Center's library, preceded by a description of "consumption tax".
Consumption is income less savings. Thus, the only difference in principle between a consumption tax and an income tax is the treatment of the savings. An income tax taxes savings both when the money is earned and again when the savings earn interest. A consumption tax taxes saving only once: either when the funds are withdrawn and used for consumption or when the funds are first earned. Although this difference appears simple, consumption taxes come in many forms.
The Hall-Rabushka flat tax
In the early 1980s, Robert Hall and Alvin Rabushka of the Hoover Institution developed a consumption tax system that achieves some of the administrative advantages of a value-added tax (VAT) relative to a sales tax, while also partially addressing concerns that consumption taxes impose a relatively heavier tax burden on lower-income taxpayers.
The Hall-Rabushka system is often called the "flat tax": It assesses a 19 percent tax on all businesses (corporate or otherwise)—identical to the VAT, except that wages, pension contributions, materials costs, and capital investments are deducted from the tax base. Individuals (or households) are assessed a 19 percent flat-rate tax on wages and pension benefits above an exemption of $25,500 for a family of four. No other income is taxable, and no other deductions are allowed."
Sounds like a plan worth investigating further.
BTW – I certainly agree with Tom when he says - "I don't see the mentality in Con-gress at the moment to fix it properly ". As I continue to say - the current members of Congress are idiots.

Very light brown and blonde and shades usually do not need bleached knots. It is not possible to bleach knots on jet black (#1) hair and is very difficult to bleach knots on 1B hair.

In 1971, a group of activists boarded the old fishing boat Phyllis Cormack, setting sail for the Aleutian Islands to get in the way of underground nuclear tests. Greenpeace, the word emblazoned on their sails, has since come to stand for a vision of a sustainable and peaceful world. It has also become synonymous with nonviolent direct action on the seas and on land.
Since our inception, Greenpeace has always maintained a presence in waters the world over. Whether documenting whaling in the Southern Ocean, or chasing down oil tankers off the coast of Europe, or traveling down the Amazon to track deforestation, or breaking ice in the Arctic to guard against oil exploration, our ships are central to our work and mission.
The third Rainbow Warrior is the first ship in our fleet designed and built specifically for Greenpeace. She is one of the most environmentally-friendly ships ever made, built of mostly sustainable materials, with huge sails, and a super-efficient diesel engine when the wind isn't doing it. She comes equipped with a helicopter deck, state-of-the art communications capabilities, and room for 30 crew. The Rainbow Warrior
Since 1996 the Arctic Sunrise, originally designed as an icebreaker, has come within reach of both poles and navigated both the Amazon and Congo rivers. Because she has a rounded, keelless bottom, she is perfectly-suited for icy seas. The Arctic Sunrise was the base of operations for Greenpeace activists known as the Arctic 30, who were detained by Russian authorities for months after they protested a Russian Arctic drilling platform. The Arctic Sunrise was held by the Russian government for nearly a year, but she's now back where she belongs, peacefully protesting somewhere out there. The Arctic Sunrise
Launched in February 2002, the Esperanza is the largest of the Greenpeace fleet, at almost 240 feet. Originally a fire-fighting vessel, the Espy is fast and feels right at home in heavy ice. She is great for long-range work, is fitted with a helicopter deck, and has special cranes from which to launch inflatables. The Esperanza
In addition to our ships, Greenpeace International has a small navy of inflatable crafts. These light, maneuverable, and very sturdy craft are perhaps our most effective tools at sea. For getting between a whaling harpoon and whales, stopping toxic waste dumping at sea, confronting illegal fishing boats, or getting to the base of drilling platforms, they have no equal.
In addition to our oceangoing vessels, Greenpeace USA has a bunch of other vehicles that log a lot of miles in the air and on the ground. Here are just a few:
Yup, Greenpeace has an airship. And it's awesome. Named for legendary volunteer A.E. Bates, we launch this puppy when it's time to make a big, loud, unmissable point. Just don't call her a blimp. The A.E. Bates Thermal Airship
This portable solar power installation is not just about touring the country to show off the capabilities of solar power (which it does). It's also about providing much needed clean energy, such as in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, when the Rolling Sunlight was on the scene providing power to the relief effort. The Rolling Sunlight
For decades, hot air balloons have been getting the word out during Greenpeace actions. Hot Air Balloons

When asked a question whether Flash is going to become irrelevant, Jay Sullivan, VP of Products, said:
"I think so in the long run. A lot of it has to do with HTML5. With Firefox 4, Internet Explorer 9, and Chrome, to the extent that we provide functionality in enough browsers, then the developers will switch over to HTML5, especially in mobile, where you can't have Flash popping up on every page just to do some little animation. The idea that you'd have to embed an entire instance of the Flash player just to play a 30 second audio clip? It's crazy."
I wish it would die quick and painless but it's probably going to be excruciatingly long and horrible. Even when everyone knows Flash should disappear. [Fast Company]

Thanks to the Fair Credit Billing Act, the law's on your side when it comes to fraudulent card account charges. Here's how to protect your rights (and your wallet).
If you're prone to overspending, a debit card may be your best bet. For everyone else, credit cards are the safer choice.
A business credit card is a big perk that comes with extra responsibility. Don't run afoul of your firm — or the authorities — through its misuse.
Save money and protect your credit card from fraud with Ondot's new Card Control app.
Pretty soon you'll be getting a new, more secure credit card in the mailbox. It's called "chip and PIN," and here's what you need to know about it.
It might sound silly, but buying stuff can be a daunting experience — especially when you want to spend little and get a lot. Here's how to do it.
Credit card fraud affects thousands of people every year. During 2009, in the UK alone, £440.3 million was lost due to fraudulent actions on stolen or cloned credit cards.
I've always considered myself to be an educated credit card user. I keep my balances low, pay on time, and don't do anything that could potentially come back to haunt me.. Little

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Tuesday, January 15, 2013) – U.S. Soccer announced today that Dick's Sporting Goods Park, home of the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer, will be the site of the U.S. Men's National Team's first home match of the Final Round of 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on March 22, 2013. Kickoff for the match, the second-ever World Cup Qualifier at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, is set for 8 p.m. MT, with ticket information to be announced in the near future.
"We are really excited to play our first home qualifying match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park," said U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "Winning games at home in World Cup Qualifying is crucial, and we really are expecting the fans in Colorado to bring us a huge home-field advantage."
"Everyone at the Rapids, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, and Dick's Sporting Goods Park is eager to welcome the U.S. Men's National Team back to Colorado for such an important match," said Rapids President Tim Hinchey. "We're thrilled that our fans will have the opportunity to attend this game, and similarly excited for the U.S. to play in front of such passionate and dedicated supporters."
Discuss on Facebook and Twitter
The match will be broadcast live on ESPN, WatchESPN and on the Univision family of networks. Fans can also follow live online via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and Twitter @ussoccer. It is the second major U.S. Soccer match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in recent months, as the stadium hosted a standing-room only crowd of 18,589 for the U.S. Women's National Team's 6-2 friendly win over Australia on September 19, 2012.
The match against Costa Rica just outside the "Mile High" city comes as part of a double-fixture date. Four days later, the U.S. travels to face regional rival Mexico at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. This will be the first meeting between the teams since the USA's historic 1-0 win in that stadium last summer.
Klinsmann: Home-crowd support the key factor, not altitude
This is the second World Cup Qualifier hosted at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. In 2008, the U.S. gave six players their first cap in qualifying while cruising to a 2-0 win against Guatemala to secure the top spot in its group in the Semifinal Round.
The U.S. MNT, with newly-acquired Rapids forward Edson Buddle, is currently training at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., in preparation for the first match of 2013, a friendly against Canada on Jan. 29 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.
The U.S. opens the Final Round of 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on Feb. 6 against Honduras in San Pedro Sula. The match kicks off at 4 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on beIN SPORT. Fans can also follow the match live online via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and Twitter @ussoccer.
Along with Honduras, Costa Rica and Mexico, the U.S. is joined by Jamaica and Panama as the final six teams set to compete in the 10-game round-robin format from Feb. 6-Oct. 15. The top three teams in the Hexagonal automatically advance to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, while the fourth-place finisher will contest a two-game playoff against the winner of the Oceania region.
The Colorado Rapids are entering their 18th season in Major League Soccer and their seventh year at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The team will kick off the season on March 2 in Dallas before the home opener on March 9 against the Philadelphia Union.

D. Wyse necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 121 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
Wyse Heating and Cooling
We are a heating and air conditioning contractor. We do residential and light commercial installation, service, and maintenance. The owner of the company is an elite master-technician and instructor who prides himself on making this comany the absolute best it can be. The equipment we install is cutting edge and of the highest technology and after being in business now for a little over 4 months we have found that our logo does not fit our capability. This project will not be our last either. We have many other facets to the company which we will be growing over the next couple of months including sales flyers and distributions which will need some expert artwork done on as well. This is not the end but just the beginning!
We are targeting all audiences who are in need of heating and air conditioning in any way shape or form, for their home or office. We advertise mainly on the internet and through multiple business search engines so our audience is growing with each and every day as more and more people start to use the internet for their service needs.
We want the name stated all in one line, or maybe two, with "Wyse" being the largest (but not too large) part so it stands out. We don't have a specific goal in mind here except that we want it to look modern and sleek. It has to be legible by even the elderly so it can't be too crazy (most old people don't get the overlaped "U" "A" in Underarmor). We want this logo/nameplate to be one that will stand the test of time for with our very agressive marketing we will use it everywhere and it will become our standard.
We do know what we don't want. No little pics of guys kneeling in front of a furnace in bibs with a hammer sticking out of their back pocket. Nothing cutesy.
Check out our website so you can see what we are all about. Website: http://www.hvacdarienchicago.net
We welcome all designs and are anxious to see what the community comes up with. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Wow! These designs are great!!

Anesthesia specialists are responsible for making informed medical
decisions to provide comfort and maintain vital life functions while you are
receiving anesthesia and in recovery.
Anesthesia specialists include anesthesiologists and qualified nurse
or dental anesthetists.
Anesthesiologists are medical doctors who, after obtaining their
medical degrees and completing their internships, complete an additional 3 years
of specialized training in an accredited anesthesiology residency program. They
are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology. As medical doctors, they
have a wide range of knowledge about medicines, medical care for diseases,
how the human body works, and how it responds to the stress of surgery.
Most anesthetists are nurses who have graduated from an accredited
nurse anesthetist program and who have been certified by the American
Association of Nurse Anesthetists to become a certified registered nurse
anesthetist (CRNA). Nurse anesthetists are advanced practice nurses with
specialized skills in anesthesia administration. Some nurse anesthetists are
supervised by an anesthesiologist or a surgeon, although law and practice may
vary by state.

U.S. & World
Now, Operation Santa volunteers are not allowed access to children's family names and addresses, which have been replaced with codes that match computerized addresses known only to the post office -- leaving it up to individual post offices to decide if they want to go through with the new time-consuming effort of addressing the response letters. And that's an effort that is likely not feasible in Alaska, said Anchorage-based agency spokeswoman Pamela Moody.
People in North Pole, where light posts are oversized candy-canes and streets have names like Kris Kringle Drive and Santa Clause Lane, are angry about the change, comparing the Postal Service to the Grinch who stole Christmas.
North Pole Mayor Doug Isaacson agreed caution is necessary to protect children, but was upset that the longstanding tradition would be ended by a sex offender on the East Coast, and that the North Pole volunteers weren't alerted earlier.
"It's Grinchlike that the Postal Service never informed all the little elves before the fact," he said. "They've been working on this for how long?"
Postal Service Spokeswoman Eva Jackson said the policy is in force to protect kids.
"Perhaps its a sad commentary in this day and age, but we feel we need to err on the side of caution and nothing is more important than making sure the privacy of the children is protected," Jackson said. "The North Pole post office didn't wish to participate in the program and redact the personal information. It's labor intensive and resources are scarce."
While the Operation Santa program will continue in other places with post offices that can deal with the changes, the program that forwarded letters generically addressed to "Santa Claus, North Pole" to the small town will be discontinued unless the town can achieve the feat of making the changes before Christmas.

The story of Deutsche Bank's Las Vegas casino
Alexandra Berzon has an enjoyable piece in today's WSJ about the Cosmpolitan, the new $4 billion casino, fully paid for by Deutsche Bank, which is opening up in Las Vegas next month.
Berzon gets the obligatory isn't-Wall-Street-a-casino-anyway shot in at the beginning of the piece, and then walks through the chain of events which resulted in a $60 million loan to a Las Vegas developer somehow morphing into ownership of a $4 billion project. But I would have loved to see a bit more detail on the finances:
Deutsche was originally just funding the project, pumping in a loan of $1 billion to build the soaring two-tower development. But its original developer, Ian Bruce Eichner, defaulted on Deutsche loans in 2008…
By the time the Cosmopolitan holds its grand opening next month with a New Year's Eve party featuring Jay Z and Coldplay, Deutsche will have spent an additional $3 billion from its own coffers. That makes it one of the most expensive resorts in Las Vegas history.
Already, Deutsche has written off nearly $1 billion of its Cosmopolitan investment, according to securities filings…
After Mr. Eichner left the development, the bank was still uncomfortable about getting directly into the casino business. It tried to cut deals with more established players, including Hilton Worldwide and MGM Resorts International, but the deals didn't come through.
Several other potential investors declined because they weren't confident the Cosmopolitan could cover its loans, according to people involved in the talks.
What's missing here is any explanation of its decision from Deutsche itself, beyond a bland statement that Thomas Fiato, the bank's head of corporate investments, made to Nevada regulators. Berzon has talked to "people involved in the talks", and there's nothing about Deutsche refusing to comment, so I assume she talked to Deutsche executives off the record. But after reading her article I'm left with a lot of questions.
For one thing, how did Deutsche come to the decision that the best thing to do with a construction site in the middle of Las Vegas was spend $3 billion of its own money turning it into a new casino? I can see how it might have been a bit overoptimistic when it lent $1 billion to Eichner in the first place. But when Eichner defaulted on that loan and Deutsche defaulted, clearly there were problems in the Las Vegas real estate market. And when big casino operators took a look at the construction site and walked away, that was obviously a sign that Deutsche's sunk costs were never going to be recovered.
And yet, somehow, Deutsche decided that the smart thing to do was to throw $3 billion of good money after its $1 billion of bad money. Why? What made them think that they could see a healthy return on that $3 billion even as no one else showed any interest in the deal? And given that casino investments are always risky, what justification did they have for adding such a big one to Deutsche's balance sheet?
Furthermore, when did Deutsche take its "nearly $1 billion" write-off? If Deutsche knew that it was going to write off substantially all of its initial loan in any case, then wouldn't it have been just as expensive and much less risky to just give the entire construction site away? And if Deutsche has now put $4 billion into the development, does that mean that the Cosmopolitan, which has yet to host a single paying guest, is valued at something north of $3 billion on Deutsche's books? What would a reasonable valuation be, in this market?
Finally, what does Berzon mean when she says that other potential investors walked away "because they weren't confident the Cosmopolitan could cover its loans"? What loans? Wasn't Deutsche the owner of the project at that point, perfectly capable of selling an equity stake unencumbered by any debt?
The tale that Berzon tells is entirely consistent with Fiato and his team getting so caught up in the Cosmopolitan concept when they agreed to finance it that they simply couldn't let go, wanting to retain at least a substantial debt-finance involvement and ultimately deciding to finish themselves what Eichner was unable to do, placing valuations on the Cosmopolitan that no one else was willing to ratify. But we don't quite get there: we get hints of that story, but not enough detail to see it clearly. Let's hope there's a follow-up.

Butch Vig Doubts That Rumored Kurt Cobain Solo Demos Exist
Responding to reports that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain had recorded demos for a solo album prior to his death, producer Butch Vig says that the new songs were likely "just in his head."
Former Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson recently started a small fire among Cobain lovers everywhere, by insinuating that the late Nirvana frontman had been working on a solo album prior to his death. "They presented some [of the demos] but there is stuff that has not been put out," Erlandson said of the reported material. "I'm not in control of things. I just wish something would come together. I think the fans would be a lot happier."
'Nevermind' producer Butch Vig was recently asked for some insight on the Cobain solo project, which he claims never got very far. "He was working on songs, but they were just in his head," Vig tells NME. "He might have just played some songs to Eric. Around that time period he only wanted to talk about Courtney [Love's] album. I never heard any of his new songs."
Just because Vig never heard the new material doesn't mean that there is none, but it certainly adds another side to the story. If there is an unreleased stack of Cobain demos, it seems like it would have been mentioned sooner than 18-years later. Last year, Vig did, however, reveal that there was an incomplete track from the 'Nevermind' sessions known simply as 'Song in D.'
Butch Vig is currently reunited with Garbage — for whom he is the drummer — and is also working with former Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic on the soundtrack for the upcoming Sound City Studios documentary.

See the little guy in the middle of that square? Wait for it, wait for it ... yeah, there he is! See the squirrel? I love this fabric!
Although I was a bit worried about tackling two squares a week, I actually finished both of these in one night. I don't even want to talk about the many stupid, stupid mistakes I made while cutting & piecing these. I'm attributing it to being overly anxious to get started, and not paying enough attention to the details. Let's just say that, 2 blocks in, I already have a pretty significant pile of mis-cut scraps.
Can you blame me? I am so excited about this quilt, even more so now that I have started putting some of it together. The colors and fabrics are just great ... I hope these photos do them justice. I think this will actually be such a great quilt when it's done -- different squares, with different colors and different animals in each. I almost feel like it will be a "storybook" quilt when it's done.
It's not my best work ... the points and corners don't match up quite as nicely as I've been doing lately, but it's certainly not bad enough to even consider ripping or starting over.
I'm taking some liberties with colors and placement -- AmandaJean's tutorial for both of the above squares only used background and 1 colored fabric ... I'm adding more colors to each block because these fabrics look so nice together. I peeked ahead and I'm excited to see that some of the upcoming blocks have some pretty large squares in them because some of these Full Moon Forest fabrics have large animals that get lost when cut too small.
I also got a pretty good jump on the second square from QAL1. Hope to complete that this weekend.
How's everyone else doing?

Alessandra D'alessio & Alyssa Vani-Braille Blocks Toy
At Design Interviews
Interview with Alessandra D'Alessio & Alyssa Vani : Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Alessandra D'Alessio & Alyssa Vani : Braille blocks was initially designed for a university studio class at the Ryerson School of Interior Design. The entire project began at the beginning of January 2016 and was completed by the end of February. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Alessandra D'Alessio & Alyssa Vani : The primary target market for braille blocks is toddlers and children who are blind or visually impaired, between the ages of two and seven years old. Although braille blocks caters to children with visual impairments, it is also a universal sensory toy that provides the same learning tactics for seeing children as well. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Alessandra D'Alessio & Alyssa Vani : What sets braille blocks apart from other tactile learning toys on the market is that this toy combines the functions of a sensory board with the functions of traditional wooden building blocks. It uses a sensory board method to introduce children to textures and braille rather than letters and numbers.No other toy allows children to match textures with their corresponding meanings and learn how to define them. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Alessandra D'Alessio & Alyssa Vani : a & a stands for our initials, Alyssa and Alessandra. "touch, learn, grow" became our slogan because it captured the essence and goal of the project in just three simple words. We chose the name "braille blocks" because it was clear, short, informative and complimented our company name and slogan perfectly. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Alessandra D'Alessio & Alyssa Vani : When working on the project, we used AutoCAD and a laser printer to bring our design to life. .

When designing and testing modern electronic systems, engineers rely on measured data from external hardware such as signal analyzers, waveform generators, and oscilloscopes. Because of their unique systems and testing needs, engineers also need the ability to customize, extend, and automate their analysis, and often turn to MATLAB to meet these challenges.
In this webinar, we will show how MATLAB can be used to develop custom measurement and analysis systems, interface to instruments such as Keysight Technologies' analyzers, generators, and scopes, and develop automated measurement systems.
Through live demonstrations, you will learn how to use MATLAB to:
