MONTREAL (AP) — UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre manhandled Nick Diaz for five rounds en route to a lopsided unanimous decision at UFC 158 on Saturday night.
St-Pierre (24-2) pitched a shutout, winning 50-45 on all three judges' cards.
"Nick Diaz is a good guy," said the champion, looking to end the bad blood between the two.
Diaz, who said he was flat after a 13-month layoff, thanked St-Pierre "for giving him the credit I think I deserve."
Diaz came to the fight with a chip on his shoulder and plenty of attitude. He leaves with a loss and lumps on his face, although he showed the champion respect after the fight.
As expected, St-Pierre used his wrestling to control the chirpy challenger, rag-dolling him at times and bullying him on the ground. But he also used his jab and kicks to pick apart the challenger on his feet.
A calm, calculating St-Pierre won almost every battle during the fight without putting himself in harm's way. Diaz (27-8-0 with one no contest) never quit, but showed less of his trademark trash-talking. He had his hands full.
The main event had been rife with animosity, with Diaz showing St-Pierre little respect. The normally calm champion was red-hot coming into the fight, saying he wanted to "retire" Diaz.
After the bout, Diaz said his fighting days may be over. He backed off the statement after coming late to the news conference and added he wanted a rematch with St-Pierre or perhaps Carlos Condit.
In another strange admission, he said he had never paid taxes. Continued...
In the lead up to the fight, Diaz skipped a public workout, then put on a strange one-man show at the pre-fight news conference that managed to befuddle and antagonize St-Pierre.
"I never took it personally," the champion said after the fight.
The antagonism continued right up to the fight with fellow fighter Jake Shields, a member of the Diaz entourage, complaining about St-Pierre's hand wraps.
"I checked GSP's glove and the wrap looked shady," Shields, beaten by GSP at UFC 129, tweeted before the fight.
UFC President Dana White said Shields had OK'd the wrap, only to have another member of Diaz's camp complain later.
The 31-year-old from Montreal was looking for his eighth straight successful title defense since winning his 170-pound championship back from Matt Serra at UFC 83 in April 2008. Only middleweight champion Anderson Silva has more title defenses (10).
The welterweight contenders' picture grew clearer earlier in the main card as Jonny Hendricks (15-1) won a unanimous 29-28 decision over Condit (28-7) in a wild co-main event that left both men blooded, and with the respect of their boss.
"These boys are holding nothing back," tweeted an appreciative White.
Condit and Hendricks earned $50,000 each for the fight of the night.
Hendricks, who said he broke his left hand in the fight, was promised a title shot if he won. Continued...
"Guess what, I earned it," said Hendricks.
And welterweight Jake Ellenberger knocked out former Strikeforce champion Nate Marquardt in the first round.
Ellenberger's blow was picked as the KO of the night, earning him a $50,000 bonus.
Diaz came out to a chorus of boos, one man against a champion backed by thousands in the stands. He calmly walked inside the cage, his four corner men urging him on.
Then the lights dimmed and St-Pierre followed, bouncing up and down in his traditional karate garb to pulsating French-language rap. The crowd erupted.
Diaz walked over to the cage and yelled something as St-Pierre prepared to enter. It didn't seem like a hello. Montreal referee Yves Lavigne then moved over to keep a close watch on the challenger.
The place was rocking before the cage doors closed.
St-Pierre's first takedown came seconds later. Diaz looked to work a submission, but the champion controlled him, firing punches as Diaz tried to get up. A pair of elbows produced a knot on the challenger's forehead.
The crowd started chanting "Ole! Ole!" St-Pierre responded by dropping Diaz on his head, capping a dominant first round.
St-Pierre landed another takedown 40 seconds into the second round and soon had Diaz on his knees face down again, hitting him with knees and punches. Diaz's face was showing damage. Continued...
Diaz tried to get in the champ's face as the round ended.
Diaz went down again in the third, after eating some punches. When Diaz got back up, he fired some leg kicks and scored with some jabs. Then St-Pierre dumped him, battering him on the ground.
Diaz flicked a punch after the bell at St-Pierre, whose face was bloodied.
Both men looked tired in the fourth, but St-Pierre scored another takedown and Diaz soon had the champion clamped to him again.
The two clinched in the fifth before Diaz fell attempting a kick. St-Pierre jumped on him and Diaz was again face down on the mat. The fight finished fittingly with St-Pierre on top and the crowd roaring.
The two shook hands, hugged and Diaz raised St-Pierre's hand.
The champion came into Saturday's fight on a 10-bout win streak. And needing just three rounds to erase Randy Couture's UFC record of 44 championship rounds fought.
It was St-Pierre's 13th championship fight, second only to the retired Couture (15).
Condit was initially due to face Rory MacDonald but the Montreal fighter had to pull out with a neck injury. That forced a reshuffle of the welterweight bouts with Hendricks moved to face Condit and Marquardt brought in to take on Ellenberger.
Ellenberger (29-6) made short work of Marquardt (35-12-2), knocking him down with a left-right and then hurting him with another. Marquardt did not seem to like the stoppage by Philippe Chartier, at 3:00, but he was dazed and vulnerable.

SOURCE OOBE Research Center
Popular-science film 'The Phase' exposes common denominator behind most supernatural phenomena - be it UFOs or biblical miracles, evolution of human brain explains it all.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The OOBE Research Center is releasing to the public its provocative documentary on the all-encompassing effect of the brain's phase state on the entirety of human history and culture - from ancient biblical miracles to contemporary alien abductions. The film aims to raise public awareness of functions of the human brain that science has neglected.
'The Phase' is based on three sensational experiments conducted in California in 2011 and 2012. Those studies resulted in close encounters of the third kind being artificially induced on 7 volunteers, 16 re-experiencing Elijah's miraculous encounter with an angel in the Bible, and 20 volunteers undergoing "near-death experiences" (NDEs). The "phase" is a recently-minted term for all states in which centers of consciousness activate during REM sleep. This is probably the phenomenon behind at least 90% of all paranormal and supernatural phenomena.
Meanwhile, OOBE Research Center founder and experiment-team head Michael Raduga (www.obe4u.com) beckons us to question still more, saying, "This phenomenon is everywhere - not only in our history, but also our daily lives. Yet how come nobody's talking about it? Could it be that somebody took over this phenomenon to further their own interests and then forbade any and all discussion of it? The truth is what drove us in creating this film."
Work on the film began in the second half of 2012. More than one hundred people from 10 countries around the world took part in its creation. Filming took place in California and the Crimea. Producer and director Michael Raduga has penned more than 10 books on the phase state.
'The Phase' (33 minutes) is up for your reviews and comments on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsE4mdB1-t4

Okuma EVX-A Crankbait Casting Rods - $84.99 to $99.99
Benefiting from Okuma's diverse rod design experience, the Okuma EVX-A Cranking Rods feature Okuma's proprietary 'glass' construction, specifically designed for optimal cranking. Preferred by many avid crankbait anglers, a 'glass' (or fiberglass) blank delivers a softer parabolic action that flexes well into the lower third of the rod, and allows bass a little more time to inhale the bait before you set the hook. This ensures more quality hooksets, and the slower action also gives the fish more play once it's on the line, limiting the likelihood of it throwing the hooks. Glass rods also cause a lot less wear-and-tear on your arms and hands by absorbing much of the lure's vibration and resistance on the retrieve.
Complimenting the blank's construction, ALPS stainless steel Guide Frames with Zirconium Inserts deliver excellent durability and reduced friction for longer, more accurate casts, while an ACS Fuji Trigger Reel Seat firmly secures your favorite casting reel and provides a solid base of operations. Each Okuma EVX-A Cranking Rod is also outfitted with a special straight cork Rear Grip, specifically formulated for cranking. If you are looking for a quality 'glass' crankbait rod, the Okuma EVX-A Cranking Rods answer the call on both price point and performance.

She asks for feedback on a blurb for her short story, 'A Royal Mess', and finds herself flummoxed by the forum members' responses.

By Jake Crimmins, on March 5th, 2012In my previous blog on 32GB memory caching perfromance I showed how using 16GB of memory to setup a RAM cache gave huge performance improvements in several benchmarks. A RAM disk is very similar to the RAM cache, however it sets itself up as a separate disk with its own drive letter. To use a RAM disk you will need to manually copy the files to the RAM disk partition. One advantage the RAM disk has over a RAM cache is the write speeds. Using a RAM disk you are only writing to RAM, with a RAM cache you are writing to the RAM and the SSD or HDD. Again I used software from SuperSpeed however this time I used RAMDisk Plus. I set my RAM disk up to use 16GB of memory from the 32GB Vengeance® DDR3 memory kit I used in this test.

Okay,this Pokemon is up there with Luvdisc and Delibird for Pokemon that are horrible and worse than plenty of NFE Pokemon. Mine thankfully has the ability Cute Charm (Normalize, I hate it along with Hustle, Slow Start, and Truant.) My Delcatty knows:
Baton Pass: Because Delcatty is so horrible, the only thing it is going to be doing is helping set up a teamate (and maybe using Thunder Wave.) Thunder Wave: Paralyzes the foe, and you need a way to set up for Baton Pass. Calm Mind: Something to Baton Pass. Substitute: Another thing to Baton Pass. Some of you might want to put an attacking move on Delcatty to stop Taunt from killing you. I just have to say that Taunt would kill you even with an attacking move. Delcatty vs. Caterpie is one of the only fights Delcatty could be able to win, and even then, Delcatty would be in the red for health.
Delcatty's crappy learnset (don't waste your time with this one)
I hate this pokemon more than any other. Some other useful moves are:
double team-even more Baton passing fun.
Safeguard-good if you want your team to have status protection.
Heal bell-to clear out any status you may have.
wish-Baton passable, with its speed, it'll probably go second, meaning your pokemon can safely get the health.
Fake tears-good if you have a special sweeper ready
All of these moves can be used by much better pokemon though. :/
Delcatty (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Normalize
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
:| --- Normalize gives you STAB on all of your moves, so that makes them more bearable. Iron Tail has a good hefty 100 base power, and lower accuracy, with a Change to lower defense, type coverage doesn't really matter, he doesn't have any. Zen Headbutt Has less than perfect accuracy, but has a standard base power, and a decent flinch rate. Sucker Punch is priority, like Extreme Speed that only works when your opponent attacks for Delcatty here. And Dig can hopefully be used in some strategetic manner.
Delcatty (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Cute Charm
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
Calm Mind boosts SpA and SpD which should hopefully make it take special hits somewhat decent and to decent damage back. Ice Beam and Thunderbolt have good coverage and hits most things at least neutral, hopefully super effective. Baton Pass lets Delcatty escape and bass its boost to a teammate which can be helpful. Wish is healing and can be used to heal teammates as well. However, if you use Wish, a spread of 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe is better to heal its teammates more.
Gen V
Delcatty (F) @ Focus Sash
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Gen V Set for Skitty
Skitty (M) @ Eviolite
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

Picture usage
Greetings, Thank you for posting pictures of Cemeteries & Gravemarkers on Find A Grave. I have recently started using these types of pictures in my personal family tree file to document my ancestor's lives. May I use the picture you have posted for Hyde Park Cemetery in Utah, as well as any others I may come across that you have posted, in my files? I will so note that they are from: Find A Grave Contributor: Penny G Douglass #46847086.
Thank you again for your time & effort, it is appreciated.

Hi Penny: This stone of John Harrison Maughan has Hannah Sophia Toombs carved on it as a cenotaph memorial.
After the 1870 birth of one son, they divorced and she married John Matthew Miller (they had a 1878 daughter, buried in Willard, Utah) and Hannah Sophia is actually buried as Annie [the name she always used] - Annie S. M. Miller at Pleasant View Cemetery, Cassia, Idaho. The memorial is # 22916283.
Would you please note on your memorial that it is a cenotaph and possibly also link her actual burial place. I have contacted the other contributor to get him to more fully describe "Annie" so that others may find her. Thanks so much, Shirleen [history4sure]

SpringSource has issued a security advisory announcement concerning a potential vulnerability. The root cause of the vulnerability is a Sun JDK 1.5 issue with exponential compilation times when using optional groups. When a Sun JVM 1.5 driven application with spring.jar in its classpath accepts serializable data, an attacker could use a long regex string with many optional groups to consume enormous CPU resources.
Affected Versions: Spring Framework 1.1.0-2.5.6, 3.0.0.M1-3.0.0.M2; dm Server 1.0.0-1.0.2
Read the official security advisory for the complete details about the issue and how to resolve it.

Under draft guidelines, which are open to consultation, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) proposes changes that could see a cut in the number of people under 40 diagnosed with high blood pressure thanks to more accurate testing.
But they also urge doctors to ensure they look at the lifetime possibility of heart attack or stroke when deciding to exclude a person from treatment.There are more than 8.5 million people in the UK diagnosed with high blood pressure but many more are undiagnosed.
In 2008, 32 per cent of men and 29 per cent of women in England had high blood pressure (defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140mmHg or over, or a diastolic blood pressure of 90mmHg or over) or were being treated for the condition.
Under the Nice guidelines, if blood pressure measurements taken during a consultation are 140/90 mmHg or higher, then extra confirmation should be obtained with either ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or home blood pressure monitoring.
When a HPC picks a patient up from a GP surgery we still do our own set of observations, not that we don't trust the GP but because it's standard practice, just the same as when you take the patient into A&E the nursing staff do a set of base line observations . It has nothing to do with ignoring anyone but covering your back, when you are stood in the dock and some posh barrister is asking did you do you do any observations you need to answer yes.
Also good history taking is a vital skill and it is often the general public who are not first aid trained that tell the story of events leading to the ambulance being called, we are always listening to what has happened so that we can give the correct treatment.
Just give the facts and you can't go far wrong –on handover at hospital we will often be scorned for long handovers, so it's not just you. I have been told by an A&E Doctor that he did not believe my observations you just have to take it on the chin. Ps never had any problems with obs before or since. Keep up the good work.

They made sure there were no scrap metals or hazardous objects from the job leftover." - S.R.B.Akron, OH4/26/2013 "The entire experience was excellent, from start to finish. I would recommend Larmco Windows and Siding to anyone considering them for a home improvement project." - Steve P.North Olmsted, OH4/25/2013 "Larmco arrived before the scheduled date. They worked diligently, and didn't bother anyone. Their work was high quality and detailed. Larmco provided extreme craftsmanship, and a superb product. It exceeded all of my expectations." - Carl K.Medina, OH4/18/2013 "I was satisfied with the job that the installers did while they were here.

Certified ScrumMaster
Sorry, This Course is Sold Out
All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.
This Course employs practical exercises, real world case study examples and discussions to provide everything that you need to know to deliver a successful Scrum Project.
Participants who complete the course successfully will be designated Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), and this is the first step to becoming a Certified Scrum Practitioner (CSP). This Certification includes a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.
About your Trainer:
With 25 years Information technology experience, Peter Measey has excellent experience working in many diverse environments within both the Public and Private Sectors as a project and programme manager, consultant, facilitator, trainer and coach.
He has specialised in the Agile space since 1996 and has managed the implementation of some of the largest Agile transformations in the Public and Private sector both in the UK and internationally, including business (non IT) Agile implementations. He is a Certified ScrumMaster, Certified DSDM Atern Trainer, Certified Agile Project Management Trainer, APLN Certified Agile Practitioner, RUP/AUP, Agile Coach, Programme/Project Manager, Prince2 Practitioner, with complementary skills in PMBok, and CMMi.

Ski Goggles & Sunglasses
Whether you're an advanced skier / snowboarder or a beginner, Rapid Eyewear's Alpine range will have something to suit you. All of our sunglasses feature an anti-fogging capability; they are lightweight, robust and comfortable to wear. The main features are:
- Mirror finish for anti-glare
- Anti-scratch coatings
- 100% UVA / UVB protection
- Decentered lenses for distortion-free viewing
- Anti-fog lenses
- Impact resistant lenses
Both the Aspen and Moritz styles benefit from removable foam / rubber inserts that provide excellent blockage of wind and light from the peripheries of your vision; the Moritz side arms can be detached and replaced with a chunky and very secure strap. This makes Moritz in particular the ideal option for more advanced skiers who move that bit quicker on the slopes.
Rapid Eyewear Alpine ski sunglasses have tough polycarbonate and TR90 frames that are lightweight and wrap-around your head, making for a comfortable fit whatever your size. Every pair comes with a retainer, so you don't need to purchase any extras before heading off for the slopes.
Spectacle wearers are catered for by the Pro Performance prescription skiing sunglasses, which benefit from three sets of interchangeable lenses, two of which are polarised (great for reducing glare) and yellow light-enhancing lenses that are famous for being great on snow. We can even add the prescription lenses for you (see the product page for details).

2013 Military Budget: Members passed, 326-90, a 2013 military budget of nearly $606 billion, including $87.7 billion for war in Afghanistan and other theaters and $35.1 billion for military health care. A yes vote was to send a budget containing a 1.7 percent military pay raise to the Senate. (HR 5856)
Defense-Spending Freeze: Members voted, 247-167, to freeze the core defense budget for fiscal 2013 at the 2012 level of $518 billion while protecting military health care and pay levels and $87.7 billion in war outlays from cuts. Eighty-nine Republicans and 158 Democrats backed the measure. A yes vote was to trim the 2013 defense budget (HR 5856) by $1 billion.
`Star Wars' Budget: Members refused, 150-268, to cut the 2013 budget for the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Program by 7 percent to the $900 million level sought by the Pentagon. A yes vote was to cut a "Star Wars" system from the 1980s that has not yet been tested in fully simulated war conditions. (HR 5856)
Military Bands Budget: Members defeated, 166-250, a bid to cut spending next year for the 140 U.S. military bands from $388 million to $200 million and use the savings to lower the deficit. A yes vote backed a nearly 50 percent cut in the fiscal 2013 budget for military bands. (HR 5856)
Repatriating American Jobs: Senators failed, 56-42, to reach 60 votes for ending GOP blockage of a Democratic bill granting tax incentives to encourage companies to bring overseas jobs home or not send them abroad in the first place. A yes vote was to advance the bill (S 3364).
Disclose Act Filibuster: Senators failed, 51-44, to reach 60 votes for ending a Republican filibuster of a Democratic bill to require donors of $10,000 or more to presidential and congressional campaigns to be promptly identified to the public. A yes vote backed a bill known as the Disclose Act. (S 3369)
Key votes ahead
In the week of July 23, the House will debate bills to promote offshore drilling and cut red tape for small businesses, while the Senate will take up a bill to end Bush-era tax cuts for individuals with taxable incomes over $200,000 and for couples with incomes over $250,000.

The information systems of Finland's environmental administration include a broad range of environmental information covering the whole country. For some of the databases and registers, information has been collected and maintained for over a century. At this time, not all of the database descriptions are available in English; those descriptions only in Finnish can be found via the link on the right. There are scientific libraries at the Ministry of the Environment and at the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE).

City of Alexandria, VA
About What's Next AlexandriaWhat's Next Alexandria is a community conversation about civic engagement and planning for the future -- and how Alexandrians can best participate in the public decisions that shape the City. In this process, we will work together to reach agreement on the principles that will guide civic engagement and planning in Alexandria. You will first see these principles applied to decisions about growth and transportation because these issues are among our most controversial, but they will also be used to meaningfully involve Alexandrians in decisions about all of the issues facing our City. How the effort is being approached:
The most important voice in this conversation is yours.The City is the convener of this effort, but the discussion and the recommendations are up to you. Your participation will make this initiative successful and sustainable.
Stay tuned for the next opportunity to participate online as well as the next Community Dialogue, planned for April 30th. Visit the What's Next Alexandria home page for more information and announcements. Stay connected:
The City's involvement:Organizing the What's Next Alexandria effort is a team that spans the City, including a citizen representative and staff from Action Alexandria, Alexandria Economic and Development Partnership, City Attorney's Office, City Manager's Office, Communications and Public Information, Department of Community and Human Services, Virginia Health Department, Information Technology Services, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Activities, Planning and Zoning, and Transportation and Environmental Services. "We need to establish a culture of of community -wide engagement and develop relationships that last beyond the meetings." "We have to find ways to involve the people who ave dismissed or given up on the process of engaging in the Democratic process." We really need to develop a way all concerns are heard and persons are not feeling like they are on a fast moving train." ~ Alexandria citizens and Dialogue participants, |

'bout 100lbs even, probably.
However much a pregnant whale does.
About 14.27 stones.
Last I checked, 205 pounds, which is the same weight I was at as a junior in high school. In fact, I'm generally healthier and stronger than I was in high school.
I think you should answer this one first.
@prexskinny - Oh, Prex, it can't be that bad. *Grin* I weigh 204 myself. And for you others concerned out there, muscle weighs more than fat in that the muscle takes less space than the same area as fat.
So, if you weigh a lot but it's not all in your belly, then you could be just muscular and not even know it. Φ ≡
As always, be careful with crazy diets.
250 lbs minus 125 Lbs plus 65 lbs minus 20 Lbs
A lot.
more than i should.
@dw817 - <3 thank you lovely. But really. When Dory from Finding Nemo speaks whale, I can understand.........
115 lbs or so, the last time I checked.
...One hundred and seventy eight pounds.
I look around 130, but I'm hitting 150's on the scale -____-
110 the last time I checked, which is this morning:)
118. Used to be a little over 140.
I want to have a thin super model body.
107 lbs
218 at 5'11 Gotta cut to 205 in the next ten days for a fight though.
I bet everyone is lying. Hahahaha
Too much.

Campaigners concerned about EU support for Canada's tar sands industry joined Corporate Europe Observatory to highlight their fears about the EU's potential involvement in this catastrophic project. on 11 July, as the 8th round of EU-Canada free trade negotiations (CETA) got underway CEO, the UK Tar Sands Network, the Indigenous Environmental Network and the Council of Canadians organised a lobby tour highlighting the organisations supporting European oil companies' engagement in tar sands, undermining EU attempts to move to a better climate policy.
Canada's tar sands are characterised as the biggest and most destructive energy project ever. The extraction of these oil resources has been heavily criticized for the severity of its environmental impacts on the boreal forest, water and public health, especially for the indigenous communities living in the area. Besides mass deforestation in the Canadian wilderness, tar sands oil extraction produces three to five times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional oil, threatening climate protection. Scientists are also concerned about the rising levels of carcinogens as toxic pollution from the tar sands poisons the waters, animals and woodland ecosystems.
Dr. John O' Connor, a doctor for the communities living downstream from the tar sands, was the first to notice high rates of rare and unusual forms of cancer in the area. The government of Alberta initially accused Dr O'Connor of causing "undue alarm" but eventually studied cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan. They found that what Dr. O'Connor had said was true - there was indeed a higher incidence of cancer than expected. Speaking in front of the Canadian Mission to the EU - the starting point of the lobby tour - O'Connor pointed out the strategy of the Canadian government to cover up the devastating health and environment impacts of the tar sands and called on the EU not to be misled and not to get involved in the tar sands through the trade agreement.
Jasmine Thomas, an indigenous woman from one of the most affected territories in British Columbia began the tour by singing a song of her community about the importance of land and water. She talked about her community's fight against a proposed tar sands pipeline across their home territory in British Columbia - a fight about the exercise of inherent rights, such as the right to life, to a quality life, to a future for their land and their ancestors.
There is widespread concern that CETA will undermine these rights. Although the negotiations appear to be moving towards a conclusion, they seem far from transparent. Jess Worth from the UK Tar Sands Network and Stuart Trew from the Council of Canadians both emphasized the extraordinary level of lobbying from the Canadian government and oil companies in the EU in recent months. While some in the EU are working to reduce CO2 emissions, Canadians are clearly using CETA to promote their industry, undermining any CO2 reductions in the process. The proposed EU Fuel Quality Directive (FQD), which categorizes crude oil derived from the tar sands differently from conventional oil, excluding tar sands imports to Europe, has been heavily lobbied. Canada has described the FQD as un unwarranted obstacle to international trade, and threatened to take legal action if the directive is passed. A letter sent by the Canadian Embassy to the EU Comission warned that Ottawa might take retaliatory action if the EU was to introduce strict rules on the environmental effects of tar sands. Canada seems determined to resist the inclusion of any provisions in CETA which would establish a need to balance trade liberalization with the need to deal with the climate change.
In addition, proposed investment rules in CETA would entitle EU-based oil companies to challenge environmental regulation for oil sands operations. Under the NAFTA agreement, corporations can already seek compensation from governments, entitling investors to huge cash payments to compensate for government policies that hurt their business interests. A similar clause in CETA would grant significant power to corporations to threaten to sue the EU for compensation, potentially undermining a range of social and environmental legislation on the EU. These powers outweigh the rights of indigenous people, since communities impacted by corporate activity have no equivalent right to hold corporations responsible under trade agreements.
The lobby tour also visited the UK Representation to the EU, BP's EU Office on Rond-Point Schuman, DG Trade and the European Parliament which have all been pushing and supporting European oil companies involvement to the tar sands project. More specifically, the UK is blocking the inclusion of tar sands in the Fuel Quality Directive, even though its inclusion is supported by most member states. BP, one of Europe's oil giants, recently decided to enter its first tar sands extraction project. The Sunrise project is set to produce 200,000 barrels of oil per day by 2014, polluting the local environment and creating serious health and environment problems for local First Nation Communities. DG Trade recently blocked DG Climate's attempts to include tar sands in the FQD, saying it would jeopardise the EU's chances of signing a successful trade agreement with Canada.
The tour ended at the European Parliament by the Society of European Affair Professionals (SEAP) lobbying tree. Although many MEPs have expressed their opposition to tar sands entering Europe, an influential group of MEPs within the Parliament, the European Energy Forum, is working with Commision staff, oil companies and lobby groups to champion the interests of the energy industry.
The organisers expressed the need to keep tar sands oil out of Europe and for CETA negotiations to be transparent so as to ensure public scrutiny and consultation. CETA must respect the rights of indigenous people, and European oil companies must not invest on the tar sands.
Considering their devastating impacts, tar sands are indeed blood oil. It is clear that we are witnessing a conflict between the promotion of further trade liberalisation on the one hand, and human and environmental rights on the other. In any truly democratic regime, government is responsible for ensuring that development does not harm the environment or human health. Even though CETA is not yet concluded, it is obvious that it is being viewed as an important test of EU priorities. Will the EU decision makers prioritize trade liberalisation at the expense of effective environmental regulation, or will they fight to conclude a CETA that is consistent with European climate ambitions and not open the door to Canadian tar sands? It remains to be seen.
Jasmine Thomas, the indigenous woman fighting for her community's rights ended the tour with a beautiful traditional song from her people in British Columbiaabout being grateful and thankful for the beautiful day, for the land, for the sun, for the water that the Earth gave us. It is a beautiful world, yes. For how long though?

Battle through your DirectX 11 games with the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
Having boosted this card to 448 Processing Cores, upgraded the memory to 1.2GB and added full support for NVIDIA 3-Way SLI, EVGA makes an excellent card even better. The EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR stands out from the crowd with its better performance and better features!

Died before a year....Pros: Very good GPU, ran fine and played EVERYTHING! Cons: Been having off and on problems with it since I got it, it has been doing fine for months and now it seems like I am having issues with it nearing the 1 year mark, very displeased... Other Thoughts: Great card, but be warned.... Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
If you want a paper weight BUY BUY BUY!Pros: Ran smooth with great fps when it worked. Cons: Worked for 3 months then became a paper weight. Other Thoughts: Worked for 3 months then crashed. Blue screens, computer freezing, artifacts. Never overclocked or touched the settings at all. Did mild game play nothing extreme. So tried new drivers, nothing. Tried contacting EVGA and they said to ship it in because the tests I performed for them meant the card was bad. So I went to usps and ship it good packaging and all so it would be safe. A day later they said I damaged it and sent me a pic of the card having a scratch on it even though it was brand new and never touched other than the install and removal. Then told me to pay $200 for a new one and basically told me my warranty is pointless. Contacted newegg and got the same chat about my warranty being piointless (yes I even paid newegg extra for the extended warranty) and now Im stuck with a paper weight. Never buying EVGA products again and wont refer them to anyone. Luckily Ive had great service with newegg otherwise Id stop doing business with them also. Now I see why this card is discontinued... Manufacturer Response: 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Very Fast Cons: High Amp consumption that was not listed Other Thoughts: I had a 700W power supply in my current setup that support 32 amps on the rail. I blew my PS in 10 minutes on my first game. After doing some more research I found the estimate amp draw was 37 amps for this card. I replaced my PS with an 80 amp one and its been running great ever since. Just make sure you have enough amp in your PS to support this card. It also takes both an 8 pin and 6 pin pci power hookup so make sure you have both of those as well. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great CardPros: Quiet, fast, incredible graphics. I was concerned switching from my sli gts 240's but so glad I did: this card is half as quiet and twice more powerful. It all comes down to diodes, with any components, and here you get 320 memory interface: hard to find that at a good price. Cons: I bought it for $180 on Thanksgiving weekend; the price went up alot. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Superb graphics cards!Pros: Excellent performance for the price! Cons: Just because a card can supply tons of power doesn't always make it a good thing. These cards can get hot quick, and with that means their fans start to whirl up like cyclones. Other Thoughts: Looking back I'd say these cards have performed extremely well and I'm really glad I purchased them. Their performance is better than some GTX 570's and their design is superior. Great cards here! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works great!Pros: Fast! nVidia! Cons: Big, doesn't magically upgrade itself when nvidia releases something better! Other Thoughts: Used it to build a new machine. Installed easily and worked on the first try. All my games look great! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Man what a deal.Pros: This was a great buy. I get absolutely no lag, or burps on any game I've played so far on the highest settings. A shame it's discontinued. For 180 bucks this video card is amazing, I couldn't have wished for more. Cons: Didn't fit on my expansion slot very well....I can partially blame that on my motherboard I suppose. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
love it!Pros: I swapped out my dual GTX 9800s with this single card... LOVE IT... I can tell a difference. Mechwarrior Online plays much more smoothly, my Windows Exp score is higher (which, who cares normally, but it actually SEEMS better)... just love the card... Cons: not really a con, just a warning - if you have an old power supply, you will probably need adapters... these take two 6-pin connections, my older PS had an 8-pin and a 6-pin, not two 6s Other Thoughts: awesome card... well worth the money 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Design FlawPros: EVGA has friendly US based technical support that speaks excellent English. Within first 30 days RMAs are for a new unit (rather than refurbished) and shipping is paid for in both directions. Cons: The card failed to work properly when placed under full load. It would constantly switch between full and half clock speeds making the performance poor and video not fluid. After several calls with tech support they decided to do an RMA. The replacement card behaved exactly the same way. They could do nothing for me other than offer another RMA. Obviously this card has a design flaw, see other thoughts to find out what it is. Other Thoughts: This model of card is overclocked from the factory, and it appears that EVGA got a bit too aggressive with their settings. In particular, the voltages. Using their EVGA Precision software I was able to drop the voltages until the card finally started running well. Once the voltage was at a stable level, I was able to safely get another 50MHz out of the GPU and 100MHz out of the Memory. I would have much rather had a card I could just plug in and work right out of the box rather than having to mess with the settings and tweak it. To keep these custom settings, I must run EVGA Precision in the background constantly, which also means I must run Windows, since that is what EVGA Precision is written to run on. In the end I have a card that runs well on Windows and was a good price for the performance, but I had to deduct two eggs for the hassles of multiple calls to tech support, the hassle of an RMA for no good reason, and needing to run a utility in the background to make the card perform correctly. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
