Detecting instability in the volatility of carbon prices
AbstractThis article investigates the presence of outliers in the volatility of carbon prices. We compute three different measures of volatility for European Union Allowances, based on daily data (EGARCH model), option prices (implied volatility), and intraday data (realized volatility). Based on the methodology developed by Zeileis et al. (2003) and Zeileis (2006), we detect instability in the volatility of carbon prices based on two kinds of tests: retrospective tests (OLS-/Recursive-based CUSUM processes, F-statistics, and residual sum of squares), and forward-looking tests (by monitoring structural changes recursively or with moving estimates). We show evidence of strong shifts mainly for the EGARCH and IV models during the time period. Overall, we suggest that yearly compliance events, and growing uncertainties in post-Kyoto international agreements, may explain the instability in the volatility of carbon prices.

John Caden decided at 11 that he wanted to be a priest. Still working, he is marking his diamond jubilee.
FATHER John Caden MBE, friend of the famous and Tony Blair's tennis partner, celebrates 60 years as a Roman Catholic priest next week.
At 85 he remains active, caring and great company, a photograph of him and the more famous half of the doubles act on a study shelf.
One appears to have worn better than the other. "He's had more worries than me," says Fr Caden, known to colleagues as Jack, though he's had a canny few himself.
Four years ago he suffered severe clinical depression. "I was just sitting in the chair waiting for death," he recalls. "It was the feeling that everything I had done in the community had been of no worth. "I didn't even take Mass. It was the most desperate, desperate of times." Treated by a bright young female consultant psychiatrist, he has returned vigorously to parish life.
"I don't work 12 hour days any more, but I can work five or six on pastoral duties, have a couple of hours sleep and then be ready for the night shift."
He has been 42 years in Sedgefield – "They told me it wasn't the sort of place you'd want to stay for life" – baptised all four Blair children, was among the select few present at the former Prime Minister's reception into the Catholic church, got the drinks in for George Bush in the pub down the road. His autobiography – called Game, Set and Match – courted the Blair connection, too.
"The ultimate name dropper," says his friend Canon Bob Spence, parish priest of Lanchester, with the utmost affection. Preparing for two diamond jubilee services, bright diamond himself, Fr Caden has no regrets. "Life is great so long as I take the medication – a doddle, really. It's wonderful to be part of the scene again, and to be needed. I've no real plans to slow down. I'm just happy to have my health back."
HE was a Hartlepool lad, decided early that he wanted to be a priest, was sent at 12 to Ushaw College, near Durham and remained until ordination – "tipped off the conveyor belt" – at 25.
When he arrived in 1935, the seminary had 420 students. This year just one was ordained. When he became a curate at St Thomas's, Darlington, the town had 28 priests. Now there are three. The only answer, says Fr Caden, is to have married priests working alongside celibates. "It should have been grasped 20 years ago by Pope John Paul II, but he was from Poland where priests were three a penny and he didn't fully understand. We aren't going to get more priests overnight."
At Ushaw, new arrivals were known as podmen – something to do with the puddings they had to eat, apparently, and not necessarily designed (shall we say) to increase appetites. If you could survive them until 20, says Fr Caden, you'd make a priest.
"It was a surreal training really, the whole object to cut you off from the world. We were allowed home for a short break twice a year, but my parents and sisters were never allowed to visit at all. "It was just like living in a monastery, or a prison. The food was very basic indeed. It was all an exercise in teaching you to say 'no' to yourself. "When I started my first curacy in Darlington, I was about as mature as lads of 13 or 14 today. They'd send me to the Catholic Women's League, my age many of them, and they'd deliberately do things that made me blush like hell. I was so gauche it was unbelievable."
One aspect of life in the seminary, the daily football matches, was to serve him especially well, however. While at St Thomas's he'd kept goal for the table-topping Rolling Mills side. When Darlington FC needed a second choice goalkeeper following the transfer of future Busby Babe Ray Wood to Manchester United, club captain Billy Kelly recalled that the new curate was reputedly a safe pair of hands. He signed as an amateur, the improbable condition that he had to be dropped off at church in time for six o'clock confessions and that he'd be the ubiquitous A N Other.
Nearer the coast, meanwhile, a Middlesbrough priest called Fr Louis Collingwood had signed for Horden CW in the North Eastern League, the subsequent story in the Sunday Sun turning the formidable Bishop Joseph McCormack an episcopal shade of purple – "incandescent," says Fr Caden.
He remembered the bishop's wrath when two Daily Express men turned up on the presbytery doorstep in response to a rumour about the cloth capped, capped cloth 'keeper for Darlington Reserves. "I dissembled," says Fr Caden. "You did what, Father?" "I lied through my teeth," he amends. "By the time they got to the end of the drive, I'm sure I heard the cock crow twice."
HE became a curate in Sunderland, chaplain to the Empire Theatre, friendly with many celebrities and, particularly, with the Irish singer Val Doonican. Such direct lines to the stars' dressing room proved especially useful in his next parish – St Patrick's in Dipton, near Consett – when arsonists gutted the church and a major fundraising exercise began.
From Dipton, after 18 years as a curate – relatively short in those days – he was moved to Sedgefield, where the parish included the huge Winterton psychiatric hospital and a general hospital nearby. He swears it was because of his sun tan. "On my day off I'd spend an hour or two with my mother on Whitburn beach. They wanted someone strong and fit for Sedgefield and saw me. I was flabbergasted that the Holy Spirit could be shown the back door like that."
Told that the bishop would see him again in five years, he quickly immersed himself in community life, became a parish councillor and in 1974 an independent member of Durham County Council, of which he is now an honorary alderman. "They wanted someone above politics, someone they could nobble on the way to the post office," he says.
He became a leading figure in health and education circles, served for 25 years as chairman of governors at Carmel RC College in Darlington, still conducts a fortnightly mass there. "It's not much use having a Catholic college if you haven't a priest," he supposes.
OFFICIALLY a co-pastor, he helps run the parishes of Sedgefield, Trimdon and Coxhoe. At the church of St John Fisher, Sedgefield, two Sunday masses can barely accommodate numbers swollen by new arrivals in the village and at Wynyard, a few miles away. "It's a wonderful problem to have," he says.
Tomorrow night he'll be joined at a diamond jubilee Mass at Sedgefield, by Father George Dolan and Father Bill Bellamy, ordained alongside him. Canon Spence, who on Monday marked his own 45th anniversary, will preach. On July 25, the exact anniversary of Fr Caden's ordination, there'll be another Mass in the church of St Joseph's in Coxhoe. He remains so full of good humour, good grace and good stories that we suggest a sequel to the autobiography. It would be called Game, Set and Matchless and thus perfectly capture Jack Caden.
From Russia with love
DUST to dust, Geoff Thomas has embarked on a 25,000-mile round-the-world motor bike odyssey to raise money for the Darlington hospice in which both his parents died and to deliver their ashes to his brother in Boonville, California.
Home for Christmas, he plans to write a book on the ultimate burnup and already contributes a column to the elegantly named Riders Digest.
On his blog, however – www.poorcirculation. blogspot.com – the urn is simply described as an important package. "He's worried," says brother Alan, "that he may not legally be able to bring it into this country." Now in Vladivostok, already with 22 countries and almost 13,000 miles behind him, Geoff has vowed to complete the Triumph Tiger trail on just £20 a day – "no hotels, no support team, no film crew and precious little money."
Necessary economies meant that he spent one night, alone, in what the Russians may or may not know as a brothel. They charged by the hour, anyway.
He's 45 – "Old enough to know better and young enough not to let that stop me" – and has planned the route with map and compass, not sat nav.
George Thomas, who died ten years ago, lived in Darlington and was a lifelong farmworker at nearby Croft. His wife Barbara, who died last year, was well known for her church and charitable work.
Alan, 50, has himself a two-and-ahalf acre farm in California – like the dales but with sunshine, he says, and it's warming up to around 105F when we interrupt his 7am cup of tea ("reminds me of home") for a chat.
"It's funny, but I talk more to my dad now – asking for help and advice – then I did when he was alive. Geoff thought that if he brought part of their ashes to put on the ground I farm that it might help.
"I farm organically, and you can't get much more organic than that." Both praise the care given their parents at St Teresa's Hospice in Darlington.
"They didn't just look after them, they showed every day how much they cared," says Alan.
"It's going to be very emotional when Geoff arrives with the urn, but we thought it was a good way of trying to help St Teresa's."
Geoff, a London motor cycle courier, left the Ace Café on April 11, has had three breakdowns but no punctures. He mostly he sleeps under canvas.
Presently trying to work out how cheaply to get the bike to America, he'd welcome direct donations – "thus avoiding any contact with my fuel, tyre and beer budgets" – on www.justgiving.com/geoffgthomas
On track for retoration
MUCH neglected, as last week's column observed, the Derbyshire grave of Mallard man Sir Nigel Gresley may be in line for restoration.
The Gresley Society, dedicated to what its website calls "one of the great engineers of the golden afternoon of steam traction", has offered to help with an upgrade. Two of Sir Nigel's grandsons are members.
"It's really a very poor grave for such an eminent gentleman," says society secretary Chris Nettleton from Eaglescliffe, near Stockton.
The latest build-up of steam pressure follows a letter in The Times from a chap in Hitchin. There's been one benefit already. Contacted with offers of help, he's joined the Gresley Society, too.
THE memory no longer painful, John Heslop in Durham follows last week's big-stick reprise with a few recollections of his own.
Particularly, back at Cockton Hill juniors in Bishop Auckland, he remembers a history teacher with a cane known as Black Jack – by virtue of its doleful colour – and which he wielded with relish.
The gentleman's favourite punishment, however, appeared to be gripping young Heslop's nose between his fingers, and lifting.
While all this was going on, the unfortunate pupil had to recite that cave men made ink from soot, water and vegetable glue.
"Unfortunately that's the only historical fact I ever learned from him," says John, "but come the nuclear winter, I'll be prepared."
ABUDDING Alan Titchmarch and still the poor man's Mike Neville, I shall be opening the flower festival at St Peter's church in Byers Green, near Spennymoor, at 7pm tomorrow. Tickets are £5, wine and cheese and music by the village school choir to follow.
The festival then runs from 10am- 4pm on Saturday, 11am-4pm Sunday – Songs of Praise at 6pm – and 10-4pm on Monday. Free tea and coffee, and food to buy, is available. The event concludes at 7.30pm on Monday with entertainment by Ms Hollywood.
ANOTHER ecclesiastical note, the final service at the dear old Springfield United Reformed Church in Darlington – the former Stivvies' works canteen – takes place at 3pm on Sunday. Much more of that in next week's At Your Service.
IT needs also to be remembered that at 6.30pm next Tuesday, a service and ceremony at Willington parish church will dedicate the restored memorial – unveiled on July 22, 1908 – to Tom Barton, the local fire rescue hero killed by a fall of stone at the pit the day after his 20th birthday.
The rededication will be followed by a concert by the Brancepeth and Aycliffe brass band. All – but particularly, of course, Willington folk – are most welcome to attend. Next week's column will have much more.

GE13: Triumphant BN seen losing popular vote
KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 — Barisan Nasional may have lost the popular vote in Election 2013, despite being returned to power with 133 seats from the 222-seat Parliament.
With all results in, BN polled 5.220 million votes to Pakatan Rakyat's 5.489 million, for a deficit of 269,130 votes based on calculations by The Malaysian Insider. The Election Commission has yet to release the official results.
This was proportionally down from the 4.082 million votes the coalition polled in Election 2008, against the 3.796 million that the parties of PKR, DAP, and PAS collected then.
The last time an Umno-led coalition lost the popular vote was in 1969, then contested by BN's predecessor, the Alliance Party.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak's BN survived a hard-fought polls battle in face of "Chinese tsunami" yesterday, but rival Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has vowed to fight the result following allegations of widespread fraud.
The BN chairman admitted it had not expected the wholesale abandonment by the Chinese community, which he blamed on the Pakatan Rakyat's alleged play on racial sentiments to woo support from the country's second largest ethnic group.
"I think they were taken in by some of the undertakings given by the opposition... and that's why there was that swing.... and a lot of sentiments there, some of them racial in nature, that were being played up in this election, which is not very healthy for this country," he told a 1am press conference at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) today, shortly after a simple majority victory cemented BN's place in Putrajaya.
"I expected it but I did not expect it to this extent. None of us expected it to this extent. But despite the extent of the swing against us, BN did not fall," he added.
At a separate press conference, PR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the pact rejected the results of the poll, pointing to unanswered allegations on electoral fraud.
"As of now, we are not accepting the results... until the EC (Election Commission) responds and issues an official statement to the allegations of irregularities and fraud," he told reporters.
Najib urged Malaysians and leaders in the federal opposition to accept tonight's results "with an open heart", and warned against any street demonstrations to protest the outcome.
He said BN will establish a mechanism to look into all the promises it made during campaigning to ensure that these will be implemented in full.
"One of the things we will do is the process of national reconciliation," he said, noting the trend in Chinese support for the opposition.
"Overall, the decision made by the rakyat shows a certain trend in votes that worries the government because if it is not handled well, it could create tension and conflicts in our country," he said.
The pact suffered significant defeats in its Johor fortress, losing in key seats like Kluang, Kulai and Gelang Patah, where DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang trounced political heavyweight Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, the state's four-term mentri besar.
"There are a lot of factors that occurred, effects from the support of the Chinese to BN. The tsunami that I mentioned earlier, this tsunami of the Chinese community, led to large numbers supporting the opposition," Najib said.
"We are still trying to absorb the results and the total ramifications. Give us a few days or weeks for us to hold discussions and have a kind of national reconciliation.
"We can reject the politics of extremism and racism, and work towards more moderate policies for the country," he added.

Pyrrhic victory only mah!!
Don't blame the Chinese. The cause is the result of 55 years of marginisation policy practiced by Dumno and its cohorts. This election gave the Chinese and Indian communities the opportunity to express their anger and frustration towards the ruling class. And the result a resounding victory for the DAP at the expense of the MCA, Gerakan, MIC, SUPP, LDP. The non-Malays are asking for changes in the general policies of the Gomen for fair representation in all aspects in the affairs of the nation. Fair representation does not mean 1 or 2 non Malay just for show in say Gomen departments, institutionss, etc. The Non-Malays are also asking for equal opportunities in employment, education, contracts, etc. which were quietly taken away over the last 55 years especially during the implementation of the NEP policy period until today.
I guess if the Gomen continuously practice their present discriminatory policies the issues of the angry non Malays will not go away and the country will face more worst political and social problems
Be fair to all people please Dear dato Najib.......I support BN too BUT certainly I hate chronism & corruption
hello everybody don't be dismay - let's give our full support to anwar's daughter - our futire first lady pm in the making.
whether you are chinese, india or malay, let us work towards 2018, once and for all kick the BN **** out forever.
let's get united and working. NUR IZZAH is our future.
it's so obvious, the result telecast from liow tiong lye, ****ee yong and some others that the opposition pact is winning but they we not telecast and waited for the recount.
how can the different be the other way around? if you talk about 50 votes difference it is still acceptable but 300 or a 1000 vote, it's a joke.
can the election take the polling list number of voters tally the voting ballot - will EC be daring to show proof? such a simple exerci**** of voters mark voting against the voting ballot, do it to proof of your innocent. lest you guy die with a heavy heart for thr rest of your life. be true to yourself and to god, it's thats simple.
just do it. the sentiments is definately doesn't favor BN, even many malay can't accept it. nothing racial. just the truth.
There is absolute nothing great in winning this election through massive frauds, cheatings, corruptions, postal votes, phantom votes, Gerry-meandering, foreigner's participations, mainstream media controls. etc, etc,the list goes on. Nevertheless, deep in one's heart & mind , the conscience will live forever in us whether one is truly " cheating " or not. Let us not forget that whatever one's religion profess, he/she & God only knows. As what my many spiritual friends use to say, what is the purpose of our prayer if our thoughts & intentions are Evils . Anyway, "The Law Of Cause & Effect " will take its natural cause.
Lastly, the Universal teachings & believe profess that " Good shall prevails over Evils "
As in all competition, Fairness, Just , & fair play, shall be an honour & worthy of respect to the one who
MR NAJIS, stop putting the claim of Chinese Tsunami as this statement by you are really racist. You are the one who keep saying satu malaysia but yet on the other hand whn you have lost the popular vote MR **** had blame on Chinese community. WAKE UP ****, its not the chinese community that vote for PR its also Malays & Indians coz this is what they think is best for them.
A simple calculation based on the population of chinese with a 100% voters vote for PR it would not derive to the 51%.for PR, it would only cover max at 20%. therefore with the help of other ethnic which derive at PR winning the popular vote. So i guess its not chinese tsunami is najis tsunami!!!! stop creating havoc as all of the race do live in harmony
One riddle that i have is PR have win popular vote and yet losing out so many seats, this really puzzled me. guess you are one real good magician which created lots of **** and trusnami
good luck for the next 5 years MR ****

Squall and Rinoa and the winter holidays. When everything is dark, still something shines.
Winter Light

The ending hug was cute too, but I just wish it could've been a little longer. Other than that, it was really well done.
Thanks for the read.

African farmers ostensibly will benefit from an approximately new $60 million project that U.S. taxpayers could be funding. The U.S. Agency for International Development's "USAID/WA [West Africa] Trade Hub and African Partner Network Project," as the endeavor is known, will seek to "assist farmers and firms to increase trade in key grains and livestock" in that region, according to a presolicitation notice that U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor has located.
The document says the initiative, which remains "subject to the availability of funds," will keep in line with the U.S. government's Feed the Future strategy (.pdf) as well as support the
Africa Competitiveness and Trade Expansion Initiative (ACTE) goals of creating jobs and reducing poverty through value added exports.
USAID is not yet seeking bids on the proposed five-year project. The agency expects to release a formal Request for Proposals around June 2012.

The Grampians National Park is a mecca for those whose idea of holidaying involves more than just soaking up spectacular scenery.
Borrow our bikes and take a leisurely pedal into town or perhaps join an organised tour or grab our golf clubs and spend a few hours with the wildlife looking on at the spectacular Mt Difficult Golf Club.
Escorted tours around the National Park, allow more time to indulge in the beautiful scenery and experience some of the most remote areas of the Grampians. But not all challenges in the Grampians are uphill. Take your foot off the pedal and join a downhill mountain bike tour through the ranges.
The tours, organised by outdoor specialists in Halls Gap, combine the thrill of freewheeling with a short walk and study of environmental features.
Horsing around or Quad biiking
Content to just go along for the ride? Mount up and join a trail ride through the Grampians bush, or explore on horseback or Quad bike in the attractive Wartook Valley, on the north-western fringe of the ranges.
Lakes Bellfield, Fyans and Wartook are great for canoeing or kayaking, and Fyans is perfect for water skiing most times of the year.
The fishing is great too! Lakes, rivers and streams throughout the region offer some of the finest inland fishing in Australia. Rainbow trout, brown trout and red fin are a specialty. A fishing licence is essential and can be obtained from Brambuk the National Park & Cultural Centre in Halls Gap, some service stations and Young's Sportspower in Stawell.
For a birds eye view of the region take a scenic flight. Tours can be tailored to suit visitors' needs not only over the Grampians but also Australia-wide.
The Grampians is regarded as a premier hard adventure destination, where rock-climbing, abseiling and extreme bushwalking are all part of the challenge. There are a range of tours and guides that can assist you to learn the skills required to conquer the mountains.
The Grampians provide access to hundreds of exciting climbs, especially on the rugged cliff faces of Mt Stapylton at the Park's northern end, and at Mt Rosea, just south of Halls Gap. Local adventure companies offer a variety of climbing and abseiling courses designed to take you to new heights.
A variety of challenging day and overnight walks in the more remote parts of the Grampians offer the chance to trek through some of the most pristine wilderness in the state. You'll find stunning views at almost every turn in the trail. Details on all walks in the Grampians may be obtained from Brambuk the National Park & Cultural Centre, just two kilometres south of Halls Gap on the road to Dunkeld.

Genealogical society programs help with family research
By Jessica Creagan
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- If learning about your ancestors sounds appealing, but you don't know where to start, the Indian River Genealogical Society has a program for you.
An expert in Irish ancestry genealogy, Donna Moughty, is scheduled to speak on Jan. 14 at the Indian River County main library in Vero Beach.
The program, which begins at 9:30 a.m., is titled, "Getting the Most Out of Ancestry.com," a popular online subscription family research site. The main library has the site available for library card members to use for free onsite, said Suzy Bromwell, exiting publicity chairwoman for the genealogical society.
"Donna Moughty is an expert and with her contacts and expertise, she can help people break down 'brick walls' in their research," Ms. Bromwell said.
Ms. Moughty is a former regional manager for Apple and has been conducting family research for more than 20 years and gives lectures on a variety of subjects, including her specialty, Irish ancestry.
"Irish family is tough because churches, sometimes the greatest resource for family history, were burned to the ground, and so it can be a little difficult to trace people," Ms. Bromwell said.
Learning about family can be a great adventure and an extremely interesting hobby, Ms. Bromwell said.
The best place to start, outside of using resources such as Ancestry.com, which has a large collection of databases on people, is by talking to older family members, grandparents, elderly aunts and so on, Ms. Bromwell said.
"It's amazing the things you can find out if you just ask," she said.
To help people get started in their journey to the past, the Indian River Genealogical Society is offering a two-session series of free classes on genealogy for beginners.
The classes will be held in the history room on the second floor of the main library from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 17 and Jan. 24.
"The classes are basic, starting from the very beginning. We give people a family tree worksheet and we tell them to start with themselves and put down as much information as they can," Ms. Bromwell said.
Participants will learn about all the resources available at the main library for genealogical searches, she said.
Pamela Cooper, the head of the genealogy department, has been the leader of the department for about 20 years, and has grown the department from about 350 books to more than 20,000 books, documents database resources, making Vero Beach a destination for genealogy buffs around the state, Ms. Bromwell said.
"I know people that come from Lakeland to use our department, when they could go to Tampa or to Lakeland," Ms. Bromwell said.
In February, the local society is teaming up with the Brevard Genalogical Society, the Genealogical Society of South Brevard and the Treasure Coast Genealogical Society for a special ticketed lecture.
John Colletta, of Washington, D.C., one of American's most popular, entertaining, knowledgeable and experienced genealogical lecturers will come to the Richardson Center on the Indian River State College's Mueller Campus in Vero Beach, for the 2014 Valentine Genealogy Seminar on Feb. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., a press release said.
Mr. Colletta started working part-time at the Library of Congress and taught workshops in the National Archives. He lectures nationally, teaches and conducts programs for the Smithsonian Institution.
He is a faculty member of the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research at Samford University, the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy and Boston University's certificate in family history program, in addition to publishing articles and appearing on local and national radio, a press release said.
A registration fee of $35 will reserve a spot as an attendee. Seating is limited to 140 and the annual seminar sells out quickly, Ms. Bromwell said.

Beekeeper creates a buzz at Derry presentation
Booth shared her knowledge of the bees last week with 60 children attending the after school program at the Hampstead Road club Tuesday afternoon.
As part of a program sponsored by the Derry Garden Club, the children, ranging in age from 6 through 13, learned quite a bit about the honey-making insects over the course of the one-hour program.
Many of the kids are already familiar with the role the insects play in local agriculture, according to Derry Garden Club member Blanche Garone, who teaches gardening at the club.
In fact, this past summer Garone and many of her young helpers participated in a local honeybee survey, where she and the children helped track Derry's bee population.
According to Garone, Derry has one of the highest concentrations of honeybees in the state, making it all the more important for the town's younger citizens to respect, rather than fear, the often misunderstood insects.
Booth, the current president of the New Hampshire Beekeepers Association, said she regularly visits schools and youth organizations, where many children initially express fear of bees.
"I encourage them to take a closer look," Booth said as she looked over a wooden cabinet filled with several thousand bees with the help of club members Colby Collins, 13, and Jen Michaud, 12.
The cabinet's usual home is right in Booth's bedroom - a fact many of the children were surprised to hear.
"Ewwwwww!" one little girl exclaimed, though Booth reassured her that the bees couldn't sting her since the glass-sided cabinet "keeps the bees safe from you while you're safe from them."
"Look for the queen," she told Colby and Jen as they traced their fingers over the glass window encasing a honeycomb. "It's kind of like looking for Where's Waldo, isn't it?"
Later, the children learned about the different roles each bee plays in colony life.
Unlike wasps, hornets or yellow jackets, honeybees don't sting unless they're provoked, Booth assured the kids.
"A honeybee can only sting once, then they'll die," she said. "On the other hand, a wasp can sting you again and again."
Booth herself said she gets stung around 20 times each year, which isn't very often considering the fact she has 25 bee colonies at her home, with each one containing roughly 60,000 bees.
"My bees aren't interested in hunting you down at a barbecue," she told the children. "Though a yellow jacket might want to hunt down a bite of your hot dog."

AC'97 Audio Codec is an AC'97 2.2 compatible stereo audio codec designed for PC multimedia systems, including host/soft audio and AMR/CNR based designs.
While hardly the most interesting piece of software, the AC'97 Audio Codec is a comprehensive addition to your audio set-up. It incorporates proprietary converter technology to achieve a signal-to-noise ratio above 90dB. It also supports multiple codec extensions with variable sampling rates and built-in 3D effects.
AC'97 Audio Codec provides two pairs of stereo outputs with independent volume controls, a mono output, and multiple stereo and mono inputs, as well as mixing, gain and mute functions that provide a complete integrated audio solution. The codec can be used to equal advantage in both PCs and netbooks.
The AC'97 Audio Codec also supports a SPDIF out function which allows easy connection from the PC to consumer electronic products. The codec comes bundled with Windows drivers and various sound effects (including Karaoke, emulation of 26 sound environments, and 5-band equalizer), features that round off any PC sound system.

'Survivor: Caramoan' recap, Blindside time
At Bikal, after last week's Tribal Council, Michael is glad that he survived. Corinne gloats about getting to keep "her gay" which is gone beyond annoying and getting downright offensive. Phillip takes Corinne and Dawn aside and tells them about how he 'threw' the challenge so they had to go to Tribal Council. They believe it as much as Cochran did last week, which is to say, not at all.

Gwinnett County has its parent-teacher conferences this week so I've been thinking a lot about that experience.
I have a theory about parent-teacher conferences: I think they're a lot like yearly job reviews for adults. I don't ever think what's being said should be a surprise. I think employees and parents should be pretty much aware week-to-week of how they or their child is doing.
If there are surprises at a conference then clearly there's been some break in communication with the teacher (fault could be on either side).
Even thought I pretty well know how my kids are doing grade wise and conduct wise from the Friday weekly folders and from looking through their work, I am often more interested to learn at conferences about how they are working and interacting with their peers and teachers. I want to know how they are doing socially, how they are developing. Are they excited to be there? Are they vocal in class? Are they shy in class? What are their work habits – fast,

Dear reader,
Something is driving me potty and I simply must share.
I love baths. Hot and deep bubbly ones. I can recline in such a bath for hours on end.
I read, I snooze, and occasionally I even wash behind my ears.
But why, you ask, is this a problem? What is driving me potty?
Its simple. Deep baths contain lots of water. Sudden movements displace afforementioned water. EVERY single bath I enjoy ends up with a mini tidal wave lapping with a great slap over the end of the bath. EVERY single bath.
It just did it just now. And it did it last night. And in all the baths before.
I know its my fault. I remember whathisface and the Eureka! story. But I want the water right up to my chin. So for the second half of my bath I switch between snoozy relaxedness and faint irritation.
Ok faint irritation isn't the same as potty.
I am somewhere between the two right now. Gah.

Save water, bath AND wash your floor

"I am somewhere between the two right now. Gah."
You really shouldn't blog in the bath, you know.
Also: I am similarly afflicted with deep-bathophilia. The solution is, no sudden movements. It is possible to avoid flooding your floor if you adhere to that. Though I'm surprised your bath lets you fill it all that high for long - doesn't the overflow kick in?

I know, its terribly dangerous.
My overflow is located very high up the bath and the sploshing comes more from the wave generation than the general high water level :-)

Do men hate older women?
Why do men turn cold when they realize they flirt with older and not younger? For example, a man flirts with a woman who is older but looks younger than her age. Eventually he asks flat out " how old are you?" and the woman answers 35...when the guys is really thinking 25 (the guy is lets say 31). Next thing you know there is dead silence. Why is that? Why do men hate older women?Wh
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Men love women, period. I've had 2 girlfriends that were older than me and they were the sun, the moon, and the stars to me. It's just a number. If I were biased about their age I would have missed out on something amazing.If there is a pause after you tell them your age it might as well be because they're surprised they made such a bad guess about how old you are. I think that it's you who THINK men don't like women older than themselves and interpret anything that might be understood as a sign of it as precisely that. What the believer believes, the prover proves. You think that's the case so you subconsciously look for evidence for it.Do you recall a time when you were really into a guy? I'm sure, in hindsight at least, he had things you might not have liked so much yet you ignored because he had so much going for him it overshadowed the little imperfections. Now, I'm not saying being older is an imperfection in any way. I'm trying to make you understand that if a guy really likes you for who you are he won't care you're older. And if they're prejudice forget them. Their loss.
What Guys Said 7
Men in general, well, they are scared by an older woman, but if really like older women and always have, even when I was a teenager.
Hold on there stranger. I always got hot for older women. I remember when I worked in a bingo hall... lots of lovely ladies. I have no idea why men would hate older women because collectively they are so HOT! Mmm makes my mouth water just thinking about it. But I married someone a year younger. She was one of the few who would even bother with me. There was one older woman. She didn't want anything from me but friendship. No kissing, and certainly no sex.I just had to accept it. I have no idea where she is now. I would have dated the ultimate hottie if I got the chance: The Queen Mother. Do I miss her. Why a guy wouldn't like older women, I'll never know.
It really depends.. I think if you hang out in the sun a lot it makes your skin look more winkled around mid 30's right? Sometimes older women come on too strong, but it depends on where you live.
Not all men act that way, there are some shallow jerks who do act that way but then again there are people who are shallow in both sexes. In my opinion age is just a number and has no bearing on the person, the only thing that matters is how someone makes you feel about yourself by just being themself.
My wife is 3 years older than me, my last girlfriend before her was 4 years older, before that 7 years older, before that 22 years older (but she told me she was only 12 years older!)...You get the idea. The only girlfriend I ever had who was younger than me was my first, and frankly she just bored me, and was incerdibly immature. I like a girl who can hold her own in an inteligent conversation, and I never found younger girls could. I was only a teenager when I dated a younger girl though, now I am in 30's I guess a younger wonam in her 30's would be able to grip me in conversation - it is all about life experience really.
Google "cougar".
If you read the question the guy was 31 and she is 35. Google "comprehension".
The point was that guys do dig older gals.
Ok but she is not a cougar to him, it's only a four year diffrence. At 35 I don't think she is a cougar yet. I know I don't consider women like Angelina Jolie and Tyra Banks cougars. Sorry for the slick remark man, sometimes I'm a you know what.
I don't think women age that well after a certain point (no offense), so it could be that. The other thing that tops that is that you are much more likely to have baggage like being divorced and having kids at 35 than 25.
What Girls Said 2
The silence could come from being a little intimidated by your age and not wanting to say the wrongs things. Obviously he like what he saw because he approached you. May not be a bad thing more of a respect thing and oh I have to come correct with her and can't just say anything.
They don't "hate" older women, they just misunderstand them/assume or prefer younger. I'm 28. ;*) So, I can see how you feel.
*Some, not all.

Previous Day's Reflection Next Day's Reflection Go to Today's Reflection
"Jesus summoned His Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, 'Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand."'" (Matthew 9:35-38)
I'm always pleased when scripture hits right to the core of our work at Avera, as it has here in the book of Matthew. In my mind, I see the Benedictine and Presentation Sisters being instructed more than a hundred years ago, "Go to the Dakota Territory and teach the children there."
To these courageous young women, this must have felt a little overwhelming. With their love and faith in God, they did what they knew how to do: be the heart and hands of Jesus. Eventually they were instructed to administer to the sick, especially the lost sheep overlooked and even shunned by others. There could be no richer history to be grounded in and guiding our work today at Avera doing God's mission. I am humbled that every day we are allowed the opportunity to care for others just as Jesus instructed the Twelve. God bless the 14,000 Avera employees and the work they do every day!

Quantum chip breakthrough to secure mobile devices
Summary: Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed a quantum chip that would allow safer communications for mobile phones and computers, thus fending off hack attacks.
An international team of researchers based at the University of Bristol in U.K. has built a new quantum chip that will help secure mobile phone transactions against hacking attempts.
The Financial Times reported Monday that the scientists will apply the technology to create safe communications for mobile phones and computers, which would make online banking and Internet shopping more secure and phones more resistant to hacking. It plans to reveal more of the development at the British Science Festival in Aberdeen, Scotland, this week.
The chip, made from silicon, operates on light and is thousands of times smaller than the glass chips used previously. Jeremy O'Brien, physics professor at Bristol, said in the report that these processors could be integrated into conventional microelectronic circuits within 3 to 5 years.
Antti Niskanen, research leader at Nokia Research Center in Cambridge, added: "Understanding quantum photonics opens exciting prospects for further research into security, sensors, and information processing. Security of personal data, the ability for a device to sense the world around it, and the ability to quickly interpret this information all offer future benefits for mobile device users."
The research was carried out in collaboration with tech companies such as Toshiba, Nokia, and Oclaro, as well as the Heriot-Watt University in Scotland and Delft University in the Netherlands, the report noted.

Tamra Barney Fires Back at Slade Smiley: LIAR!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
As far as Tamra Barney is concerned, she's totally rubber.
Slade Smiley? He's glue, and anything he says bounces off The Real Housewife of Orange County and sticks to Gretchen Rossi's boyfriend.
These two continue to go at one another in public, as Smiley told E! News this week that Barney is delusional for claiming he doesn't pay child support. He also finds it very creepy that Tamra has contacted Slade's ex-wife, Michelle.
Barney has now fired back, explaining to the same site that she and Michelle were introduced through a mutual friend and:
"I feel extremely sorry for her and my heart breaks for her and Grayson. Michelle is a very strong woman and went out of her way to contact me today to tell me that she was proud of me for standing up for her and Grayson and to keep my head up."Does she care about Slade's insults? Yes, although she says otherwise.
"While he accused me of many false and bold lies throughout the entire season, I am not crying to the press about them," she cried to the press. "Why? Simply because his allegations are false. The bottom line is that I don't care what Slade has to say about me. Like Gretchen, he thrives on lies and manipulation."
[Photo: WENN.com]
Tamra had huge implants, then criticizes other women for having implants. Tamra has no education and gets pregnant as a child, then criticizes other women for being stupid. Tamra gets involved in EVERYONE else's business, then lashes out like a child when she feels someone gets in hers. And she wonders why she is called a childish, ignorant, trailer-park, money-grubbing skank!!!!!
Tamra and Gretchen are both the epitome of trailer park trash. Have you seen them without their [caked on] makeup?? Now take away their massive plastic surgeries. Gretchen hooked up with a guy old enough to be her father (for money). Tamra boasts that [gay] Eddie farts in front of her. She'd JUMP at a Bravo offer for a spin off series, "Fart Man Part II." Just throw money at her. The trailer park ho's don't fall far from the trailer hitch!!
That Brooks guy is so creepy! Did you notice when he had that conversation with Vicki's daughter how he was checking out her [nice] rack??? Ewwwwwww...Briana is hot, granted, but he's supposed to be dating Vicki, not her!!! When that guy gets drinking, he starts slurring his speech and his eyes roam to breasts. Tamra and Gay Eddie really take the cake though! All these contrived scenes (Tamra kissing women, wearing rented jewelry, trying to get Gretchen drunk to sleep with her OWN SON, etc.) all to try and stay on the Bravo payroll...what an old warhorse. Now there are new photos of her (Cellulite flopping in the wind) with Eddie in Mexico as they will unveil their fake engagement later in the season. Jeanna and Simon were SO right about her!! Trailer trash.
Dear Mr. Puhlease ,First, can you be more heavy than this?Second, Ivy isnt waiting for you to lveibee her or not. Read, you dont like, move on, and keep your silly comments to yourself.Ivy, its a sad story, After all, im sure no one has it as hobby.what are your hobbies? reading, swimming, ohhh and yes i almost forgot: walking the streets !
It certainly is a perlbom preserving and accessing voluntary material. Two charities that I've been in contact with recently don't have the best archival systems in the world indeed, it has basically been a case of rooting through their offices seeing what old stuff is still lying around there.Let's hope it doesn't all go to the shredder in efforts to save time, money and space.
Tamra one hot lady
Tamra is the best..... GRETHCEN YOU SUCK.......
Tamra is a cheap piece of garbage! It is amazing that this 'thing' I can't call her a woman insulting the real women in the World has no SHAME.
The only reason Vicki the old Lady supports Tamra is because Tamra is the only one telling her it is OK to leave her Husband. Tamra seems so happy seeing Folks break up.
Tamra is looking so old. I just hope Bravo drops her as uncouth is uncool.
Tamra is trailer trash who is queen vics little puddle let's hope Gretchen smacks some sense into her ugly face! Cheap tart
This is in response to the comment left by London/Newyork- what are you on???? Tamra is the spoilt insecure little w****. She will anything for fame- even make cheap porn with that moron Eddie. She is ignorant, uneducated and cheap. Gretchen is educated and classy in every way. Tamra knows she is off the hill- you can tell by all the jobs she has done to her face- Gretchen no doubt will grow old gracefully. If she was here in London, i dread how she would be perceived by others.
She once told Simon- "im always with my kids!" -no she aint! she is lapping up all the attention because she has nothing else in her life. She goes out to dish the dirt on others because she is has nothing to do. Feel sorry for Eddie already!
