Ethel Chitwood
October 14, 1916 - August 12, 2014
Ethel Darline (Stanton) Chitwood, 97 of Nampa, passed away on August 12, 2014. She was currently a resident at Streamside Assisted Living in Nampa.
Ethel was born October 14, 1916 to Willis and Fay Stanton on a farm northeast of Nampa. Ten years of her youth was spent in Texas where she graduated from Lytle, Texas High School at the age of 16. She and her family moved back to the Nampa area in 1934 where she remained until her death.
She married Ralph Chitwood on January 1, 1937. They farmed in local communities with many years living in the Deer Flat/Scism area until 1958 when they purchased and operated Ralph's Reed and Bell Root Beer Drive-in.
She sold Avon in a rural area for several years, and was employed as an assistant librarian at Nampa High School for 16 years, retiring in 1989 so she and Ralph could camp and travel more frequently in their motor home. Ralph died December, 2003.
Ethel had been active in the Nampa First United Methodist Church, the Nampa Civic Center, the Early Morning Gardeners, and a bridge group of friends. She enjoyed reading, sewing and doing handwork for the Church Christmas bazaar. Highlights of her life were family get-togethers, lunching with friends and playing bridge. Her family and friends will greatly miss her cheery, loving personality.
Ethel is survived by daughter Betty (Jim) Erberich, Cambridge, Idaho, sons Wilbur (Carol) Chitwood and Robert (Kay) Chitwood, Nampa, 8 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild and several special nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, brother, three sisters, two great-grandsons, and one great-great granddaughter.
Visitation and viewing will be at Nampa Funeral Home, Yraguen Chapel from 4-7 p.m. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at the First United Methodist Church, 2717 12th Ave. Rd., Nampa. Burial will follow at the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Caldwell. An online guest book is available at
In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to the First United Methodist Church, Nampa, or to
The family wishes to thank the staff at Streamside Assisted Living for providing her with a safe, loving environment for the past 4 years.

I'm not familiar with what to add above sea level. However, I would go with what you read and take a sample after 2 days to see how it's coming along. It also helps remove any sediment that has accumulated. Play with it for 2 days thereafter and you should be just fine.

Celebrate National Breast Feeding Week at the Innisfil Public, Lakeshore Branch. On Saturday October 3rd, join us for a drop-in storytime at 10:30am at the Innisfil Public Library & ideaLAB, Lakeshore Branch.
The Mystery Mural, a public art project conceived by local artists Christina Luck and Maggie Grace, will be displayed at the Cookstown Branch until mid-October. Twenty panels were distributed to various individuals to decorate earlier this year. None of the participants were aware of
Even though it's the first day of fall, your community gardens are in full bloom at the library! Harvest some veggies to bring home for your next meal, or enjoy the seasonal beauty outdoors while you're hanging out at your local branch.
By popular demand, we've brought back Brenda Chin! Brenda has worked in the romance industry for more than 25 years. Throughout her many years with Harlequin, she had the opportunity to work with some of the best writers in the business, often buying their first book.
Needing a gift for a friend who is expecting, Cheryl had an idea and headed to the ideaLAB's vinyl cutter. Patterns were made and laid onto a baby onesie. Fabric paint was used and was dabbed over the vinyl cut template with a sponge brush.

Painting - Computer Painting / Wacom Brushwork
A reference photo is usually at the centre of my work but not always..I normally reduce my personal photos to basically a line drawing in grayscale..( minimum lines and surfaces) so it acts as a simple sketch. The exception being when I purposefully want it to be more photographic. I set my own palette as I work up the painting... I have developed a personalized way of creating visual texturing through a method I call" constructive/destructive brushwork". My objective over the last few years has been to develop a style that incorporates the look and appeal of traditional brushwork but with a natural approach to the media specific difference that digital painting offers... I love to explore the tools that are available to the modern day artist or any artist willing to take advantage of the creative potential that technology has in store for open minded creators of art. Artists that understand and agree that there can be no limitations imposed on the future of creative expression regardless of the chosen medium . I welcome digital painting as the latest newcomer to the painting category of fine art.....and yes we all know that it's not real paint......but other than that, the comparable creative process and the resultant outcome is getting darn close..... after all it's the traditional painter that has helped advance and make digital painting possible....May art creation always remain a stimulating challenge and a true expression of who we have become....

Sustainable Development and Climate Change
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20, is on the horizon. The event taking place this June, twenty years after the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, can serve as a reminder for lawmakers in Washington, DC of the impact of their work beyond the beltway and throughout the increasingly globalized planet. As noted in the '7 Critical Issues at Rio+20', sustainable development efforts are linked to climate change. I recently passed through the Tacana indigenous community of San Miguel, in the Bolivian Amazon, where, over the last four years, I have studied and witnessed the impacts of sustainable development efforts and global climate change.
Setting the Stage
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Abel Iturralde Province of Bolivia was known for its timber extraction. Between 1979 and 1987, 16 timber companies owned almost 2.9 million hectares of land, over two-thirds of the province. Timber extraction slowed when it became illegal in 1989 (although five businesses continued until at least 1991) and after a 1990 biodiversity assessment by Conservation International declared much of the province and surrounding region a biodiversity 'hotspot'. This spurred an international movement and by 1995 the 1.9 million hectare Madidi National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area was created. Beyond the local conservation, one immediate result of the park was the loss of a valuable source of income for local communities previously engaged in resource extraction, resulting in the emigration of timber workers to other parts of the country. The promotion of tourism in the national park increased local employment opportunities. One of the first tourism success stories was the 1998 opening of the Chalalan ecotourism lodge, owned and operated by the San José de Uchupiamonas community with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank and Conservation International.
Intelligent Sustainable Development
Inspired by San José's success, in 2002 the Tacana indigenous community of San Miguel set out to create its own ecotourism lodge. After receiving financial and technical support from organizations including Conservation International, CARE Bolivia, and the UN Development Programme, the San Miguel del Bala Eco-lodge opened its doors in 2005. Located at the gateway to Madidi National Park, and with cabins inside the park, San Miguel del Bala guides tourists in and around the national park to explore the flora and fauna. Aside from a slight drop in 2008 due to the economic downturn, each year the lodge's attendance and revenues have increased, resulting in increased local employment opportunities and a growing community investment fund, which has supported educational access and medical care in the community. San Miguel's vested economic interest in Madidi National Park has resulted in their increased protection of the park amidst a variety of threats. Reporting illegal activities and supporting the understaffed park on patrols led to the community being named 'Honorary Park Rangers' by Madidi. This win-win for the environment and the economy is a testament to the power of intelligent investments in sustainable development.
Record Rainfall and Flooding
While these sustainable development investments have benefited the community and conservation, in February 2011 the Beni River, which runs alongside the community of San Miguel and through Madidi National Park, experienced severe flooding related to the effects of La Niña. In a community of approximately 30 palm tree-thatched roof houses, at least 11 were completely destroyed due to flooding (video footage of the flood in the town of Rurrenabaque, located 7 kilometers downriver from San Miguel). Located higher above the level of the river, the San Miguel del Bala eco-lodge was spared and business continues; meanwhile, the community is still recovering and rebuilding one year later. In this record setting rainfall in Bolivia, at least 45 people died and over 10,000 families were left homeless, and the government declared a "National Emergency."

With global climate change comes the increased risk of extreme weather. Carbon emissions, no matter their country of origin, have the potential to affect all parts of the world through such events, and potentially impede sustainable development efforts. As Rio+20 arrives, it is essential to recognize the inextricable relationship between addressing global climate change and the promotion of sustainable development throughout the planet. As witnessed in Bolivia, successful sustainable development efforts may encounter severe setbacks without serious efforts to address global climate change.

"This is a hugely compicated problem as evidenced by the many graphs. We may have passed peak oil a few years ago but this has been hidden by the huge surge in USA fracking.

I still think that oil price is the ultimate expression of the free market as there are no controles over ..."
" Obviously the solution to reducing U.S. on-road carbon emissions is consuming less petroleum motor fuels.

A Guide To Recognizing Your Gamers
Apr 20
// David Houghton
#1 – The Back-Seat Gamer Behavior "No! Leave that! Go that way! Kill that guy! Circle strafe, circle strafe! Jumpjumpjumpjumpjump! Chainsaw, chainsaw! Rocket launcher on the guy at the back! NOOOOOOOO! Told you you shouldn't have done that. My go." Think you're a good gamer? Forget those aspirations my friend. You are not as good as this guy. He is at one with the games, symbiotically tuned with them in body and mind. He sees all, he knows all, and he will pre-empt any AI script created. Every map of every level of every game is seared into the very matter of his brain, and he can walk any section by simply closing his eyes and recalling his surroundings down to the pixel. There are no surprises. There are no challenges. He laughs at player's guides and devours opponents by the crunching meaty handful. He is, quite simply, unstoppable. In his mind that is … You see unless he's actually playing, this guy knows everything. In theory he can destroy any game, rendering it to a small quivering puddle of blackening disc plastic by his sheer presence. In theory he's the guy you want, no, need on your side. In theory, he skips straight to the most punishing difficulty level on a new game and burns through it in no time with his legendary gaming insight and lightning-fast precision skills. In theory … In practice however, the only recorded noise in human history louder than his militant bestowing of "advice" and proclamations of his gaming qualifications is the sound of the servers emptying whenever he enters a lobby. You see, the simple fact is, he's not actually that good … Oh of course, he can talk a good game. Some of his aspirations of game knowledge are probably even plausible. He'll have played enough to learn level layouts, know where the power ups and weapons are hidden, and understand exactly where you're supposed to hit the boss. That doesn't however, mean that he can actually do it. Thus, he will make up for his shortcomings (again, in his mind) by making sure that you know he could do it. Oh sweet Ghandi on a hover-board, he'll make sure you know. Every move you make, you can bet he'll be watching you like a video gaming overlord Sting, correcting you every time you move a pixel off the exact course he would have used. Change weapons or power up a second after he recommends it and you're playing the game wrong and will fail. Achieve the miracle of success without following his instructions however, and well, you can do it that way, but you're supposed to. This is the reason people online know him and fear him. There's no avoiding it if you have the miserable, Dickensian street-orphan's luck to end up in a game with him. Whether co-op or versus, he'll be the same. Whether commanding the team or merely controlling an underling, it doesn't matter. He'll let you know where you're going wrong (and you will be going wrong, don't doubt that for a second) for every step of the miserable, grinding, teeth-gritting, face-bursting, hernia-inducing, mind-raping, sanity-haemorrhaging way. And that's nothing compared to the supernova of aural abuse you'll suffer if his team loses. Which it probably will, as by that point his comrades will have thrown the match just for the spectacularly horrific comedy of seeing him go into meltdown. Games PlayedAnything. It doesn't matter. He's better than you at all of them. How To Deal With Them If you're playing anything, from Solitaire to Gears Of War, it's best to be out of visual and sonic range of a back-seat gamer. Preferably in another room. Or another house. Country even. Actually screw it, if at all possible, you should endeavour to be in a totally different area of the space-time continuum to any back-seat gamer. It seriously is worth travelling in time to avoid these people. And never play them at co-op anything, least of all FPS, as that way lies only Lovecraftian madness and despair. You'll make it through three minutes of play at most before you end up shooting them. With an actual gun. You'll go and buy a really big one specially, trust me. #2 - The Closet Gamer BehaviorA tragically repressed game lover, the closet gamer has not come to terms with the modern, accepting gaming climate. It's probably not their fault. Maybe they weren't lucky enough to grow up with a supportive gaming crew around them. Maybe they were forced to spend their younger developmental years trying to fit in with an unsympathetic crowd, and had to hide their true urges by mocking the school geeks at lunch time. Or perhaps they had over-protective parents who fell victim to the tabloid hysteria of the early '90's, and were beaten senseless with warnings of social ostracising and the deadly gaming-transmitted diseases of psychosis and epilepsy. Whatever the reason, the closet gamer is a troubled self-hater, constantly struggling with his or her inner desires to break out into open gaming, for fear of the recrimination of a cold, cold society that just doesn't understand. I have a friend like this. His is a sad story, but it needs to be told, if only for the hope that it will help others in his situation. He's been game-curious for years, having the occasional quiet dabble in casual games when they were presented to him, but never allowing himself to be seen actively seeking them out. He's always loved a bit of Tetris or a quick blast of Street Fighter II, but he's never owned a console. However a couple of years ago while he was at university, his guard slipped and his true nature started to show itself for the first time. Living in a house with an N64-owning friend, Mario Kart 64 became his gateway game and things began to change for him. Of course at the time, he passed it off as a mere temporary phase, a bit of harmless experimentation with an accessible party game. He was just trying it out to see what it was like, and of course, it didn't mean he was a gamer. Over the course of the year however, the inner depths of the game began to take hold, and something inside him began to stir. His hardcore side slowly but steadily awakened, and after a prolonged diet of daily binges he was talking about power slide physics and correct item usage like a pro. Though he still wouldn't admit to anything.It all came to a head last Summer. His parents were away and he had the familial home to himself, so he invited me round for the evening. However what he proposed shocked me. "Come around, bring the SNES, and we'll get drunk and stay up all night completing Mario World"This was unprecedented behaviour for him. Maybe it was the opportunity of being safely alone in his own house, away from the prying judgemental eyes of his university friends, and maybe the planned heavy drinking was his way of building up the courage to go through with it. Whatever the reason, it was clear that this could well be the night of his outing, and if it was going to happen, he'd need a sympathetic guide to help him through the process. Obviously, I deigned to be the friend he needed. Everything went brilliantly. After a couple of beers, his inhibitions dropped quickly, and in no time at all we were ploughing through the first island. By 3AM we were well into the Vanilla Dome with all secrets unlocked, and a whole new world was opening up for him. His future life looked to be one of well-adjusted self-acceptance and healthy, peaceful happiness. The next morning however, it was a different story. With sobriety and the cold light of day came his previous guilt and repression, worse tenfold now following our nocturnal activities. I don't mind telling you it was an awkward morning. He couldn't even look me in the eye for the first few hours, and even later in the day conversation was stilted at best. Still clearly trying to come to terms with the events of the previous night, he'd fallen back on his safe-zone of denial rather than embracing who he is, and my disappointment for him was crushing. Things are getting better now, and we are talking again, but it just isn't the same. I still have hope for his future happiness though. I'm currently using the casual fun of the Wii and DS to get him back on the horse, and the news that his new housemate is buying a 360 has warmed my heart. A bit of experimental co-op over Live, taken at whatever pace he's comfortable with, and hopefully we'll start seeing some progress. Games PlayedAnything casual and quick, and easy to hide if interrupted. The odd bit of Tetris or Minesweeper at work is okay "just to unwind", and retro games give them the excuse that they're "just laughing at the graphics". The advent of the DS is a major help for these people, given how quickly it can be closed and pocketed in standby mode should prying eyes arrive. How To Deal With ThemDon't push them. Try to subtly bring them into more overt gaming over time, but do it with games and a pace that they feel okay with. Too much too fast and they'll retreat into their shell faster than an agoraphobic snail at a rave. And never use leet-speak around them. Simply being in the presence of someone who uses the word "owned" will sent them spiralling down into more counselling sessions than anyone can afford. They're not going to be ready for that kind of heavy exposure to the hidden world they crave for a good long time, so don't rush them. -- Next week: Chavs! (view all chapters)

Peripherally Speaking: Nyko's Perfect Shot
Jul 14
// Jonathan Holmes
Perfect ShotCompany: NykoMSRP: $14.99Ugh.OK, so here's what I can tell you about the Nyko Perfect Shot. It is a white toy gun with a rectangular cavity that you can insert a Wii remote into. You can also connect a Nunchuk to the Wii Remote through the gun's handle. The downside to all this is that the only button you have access to on the Wiimote while it's in the toy gun is the B button, which is pressed by pulling the trigger. All this comes together to make playing shooting games on the Wii feel a little less like aiming a remote control and "turn-off-to-death" a bunch of zombies/aliens/terrorists/whatever-targets-are-in-the-game-in-question, and a little more like aiming a real gun at your TV and killing the zombies/aliens/terrorists/whatever-targets-are-in-the-game-in-question. REVIEW END.What, you want more? Huh. Alright then, I'll tell you about the rest of my experience with the Perfect Shot thus far, but don't say later that you didn't ask for it.To really make this review thorough, I invited some friends and family over to try out the Perfect Shot. They ranged in age from 6 to 69. We played about ten games, some of which were intended for play with the Perfect Shot (House of the Dead: Overkill, Ghost Squad, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, House of the Dead 2 & 3, Link's Crossbow Training) and some that weren't (The Munchables, MadWorld, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, The Conduit, Animal Crossing: City Folk). The kids and old ladies present at this most strange house party universally preferred playing games with the Perfect Shot. It didn't matter if it was Ghost Squad or Animal Crossing; the consensus among the very young and the pretty old was that "every game is more fun when playing with a gun." That said, the old ladies generally had the most fun when not playing any videogames at all, regardless of the shape of their controller, and the kids could usually only last about thirty seconds before unplugging the Nunchuk, abandoning the game, and using the Perfect Shot as toy pistol. It's in this regard that the Perfect Shot really stands out, as these days, toy guns that look like actual guns are pretty scarce. As you can see for yourself, the Perfect Shot looks way more like a real gun than the Wii Zapper, that NERF thing, or your average G.I. Joe or Transformers licensed piece of crap plastic. The Perfect Shot also has a really nice sense of weight to it. When using it for gaming, or just pretend-shooting people, it really feels like the thing could do some damage.The Perfect Shot takes a little bit of a stumble when playing games that involve use of the Wii Remote's face buttons. Most, if not all, of the games that the Perfect Shot was meant to be used with don't require any use of the Wiimote's face buttons, so it's not totally fair to fault it in this area. The reason I bring it up is that the Wii Zapper, the Perfect Shot's primary competition, actually does give you fair access to the Wii Remote's face buttons, which can be a nice thing. Since the Wii Zapper cradles the Nunchuk for you, you can let go of the Nunchuk if you need to to use your Nunchuk hand to press the Wii Remote's face buttons without dropping the analog stick. The Wii Zapper also places the trigger close enough to the A button that you can hit it with your trigger-hand-thumb if you need to. With the Perfect Shot, the trigger and the A button are miles apart, making a trigger-hand-thumb reach-around an impossibility. As for using your other hand for face button work, taking hands off the Nunchuk means dropping it completely. That can really ruin your fun time if you need to quickly pause your game while avoiding a smack upside the head from a little kid armed using an oversized Totoro foot warmer as a giant, furry boxing glove.The Perfect Shot also makes playing games like Trauma Center: New Blood nearly impossible. That's a shame, because as a lot of you know, the Wii Zapper really does make it easier to keep a steady hand during stressful videogame surgeries. When it comes to unconventional uses like that, the Perfect Shot isn't in the same league as the Wii Zapper. This is a plastic gun for plastic gun games only (and maybe The Munchables.) To sum up, the Perfect Shot is a great toy gun, a good all-game peripheral for people who don't like videogames, and a fine fake gun controller for the games it's actually designed to be used with. It can't be played with quite as many games as the Wii Zapper can, but what you lose in versatility you make up for in doesn't-look-like-a-long-and-curvy-white-turd-ability. Thanks, Nyko!

Van Halen
No, really, this time they mean it (probably): Van Halen are touring again with David Lee Roth, which is good news—at least for those of us who were eight when they broke up and spent our teens thinking of VH mostly as that band from the Crystal Pepsi commercial. The catch (there's always one) is that Michael Anthony won't be along. This time, Van Halen contains 25 percent more Van Halen, with Eddie's teenage son Wolfgang filling in on bass (seeing as how musical acts with "Wolf" in their name are popular and all). No word on whether, being too young to play a Jack Daniels bass, Wolfgang will have to settle instead for a Sunny D bass. As much complaining as this personnel change might inspire, the possibility of seeing Diamond Dave and Eddie on the same stage doing something besides scowling at each other should be worth at least part of the ticket price. Filling out the rest of the value for your rock entertainment dollar: at least six years' worth of hits from the band that justified arena rock's existence, from the wall-to-wall hits of their debut through the scuzzy white-dude funk of 1981's whompass Fair Warning, up till the synth-drenched, teacher-ogling, Lamborghini-revving ultrablockbuster 1984.

About two years ago, I was asked to give an address concerning the organized bar's engagement on the torture issue before a gathering of bar association presidents from throughout the Western hemisphere. When it was over, a former president of the Argentine bar came up to me. "You must fight this with every ounce of energy you possess," he said. "Because in the end, you will find that this torture is not about intelligence gathering, or ticking bombs or any other such nonsense. It is a talisman. A talisman of power. A government that can torture and do it with impunity can do anything. No law stands in its way. The very idea of the rule of law crumbles into dust. It means brutal tyranny." At the time, I thought this was a bit crazy, but I knew what the Argentines had gone through and I respected the comment. As time progresses, I see exactly what he meant. Indeed, the experience of the bar in Argentina and Chile from the seventies and early eighties is perfectly on point for America today. First they introduced torture. And getting away with it, they have begun systematically to defy the notion that they are subject to the rule of law. We see this every day in dark figures like Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, and Dick Cheney. Torture, as my Argentine friend said, is but a talisman.

Bloody Good Pudding
One of the highlights of being a foodie in New York is that you don't have to travel far to experience authentically foreign dishes. On the one hand, there's surface level exotic. I'm thinking along the lines of soup dumplings in China Town or Korean BBQ in the West 30's, delectable offerings that are relatively easy for the average appetite to discover. And then there are those transporting experiences that take more leg work, where it helps to be tipped off by locals in the know. Recently, I was the lucky recipient of insider foodie information when I was introduced to sanguinaccio, a truly special Italian pudding.
While sanguinaccio graces the refrigerator shelves of many authentic Italian bakeries in the spring, it isn't easy to come by. The deeply rich, chocolate dessert – more pot de creme than Kozy Shack – is technically illegal. Among hints of cinnamon and pine nuts in the silky concoction is fresh pig's blood, an unusual and contrabandsuspect in American sweets. Traditionally made in southern Italy around Easter, the pudding is thought to have derived as a dolci that tied in with spring slaughters. The taste is richer than average chocolate desserts, but in the version I sampled, there was no irony aftertaste. If you're up on your Latin roots and recognize "sanguin" as relating to blood, then you might have a hint as to sanguinaccio's atypical ingredient. Otherwise, you'd probably enjoy the deep chocolate flavor without knowing its cause.
There might not be a lot of spring slaughtering in the city, but it's possible to find sanguinaccio in NYC if you know where to look. The one I tasted came from a friend, who purchased it at an Italian bakery in Queens. Other likely sanguinaccio-carrying suspects include pasticerria's in Hoboken or Italian-heavy neighborhoods in Brooklyn, like Bensonhurst. Check window displays for hand-drawn signs advertising the delicacy, or pop into bakeries to peruse their cases. When you find it, buon appetito!

Web Portal Connects Green Companies with Global Financing
The Cleantech-Capital.net Web portal is set to launch in July to connect green companies with global cleantech investors. The portal is designed to generate investor leads and inquiries for cleantech companies raising capital across all areas of the investor spectrum, from angel and venture capitalist funding to major project finance and infrastructure funding. Cleantech-Capital.net touts a pre-established investor network with more than 2,000 cleantech investors.
Cleantech opportunities are published at the Web site and are collated into a monthly venture report, which is emailed to a global network of registered cleantech investors. The company says it's free to join the investor network and there is no charge to add an opportunity to the report. Submissions will be checked and edited before they are released to the public under a "no name" reference number basis.
Adrian Asfar, founder of Cleantech-Capital.net, says the aim of the Web portal is to deliver an efficient introductory mechanism and to put investors in direct contact with real cleantech opportunities.
Private-sector investments in green or sustainable technologies declined 48 percent in the first quarter of 2009, according to a recent report from the Cleantech Group and Deloitte. The total amount invested globally — $1 billion across 82 companies in the U.S., China, India and Europe — represents a 41 percent decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
Despite a global downturn in cleantech IPOs, the TMX Group, which owns and operates the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), added 30 new listings to its cleantech portfolio in 2007-2008 and three in 2009, reports the CleanTech Brief. More than 11 companies are now at the application stage for the Canadian exchanges.
The TSX Group exchanges consist of more than 114 cleantech businesses that have raised $2 billion in equity in 2007-2008, and traded shares worth $15 billion in 2008, reports CleanTech Brief. The cleantech listings come from a variety of sectors, including renewable power generation, technology and manufacturing, waste and water treatment, transportation, energy efficiency and agriculture.

Time for me to go. Thank you for your contributions and please join us again tomorrow evening for live coverage of Spartak Trnava v St Johnstone and Aberdeen v Real Sociedad in the Europa League qualifiers.
Celtic v Legia Warsaw as it happened
- FT: Celtic 0-2 Legia Warsaw (Zyro, Kucharczyk)
- Legia win 6-1 on aggregate and reach Champions League play-off
- Celtic drop into Europa League play-off
- Second leg was played at Murrayfield
Live Reporting
Click here to read Alasdair Lamont's report from Murrayfield.
Anonymous: "This is a blessing in disguise. Could you imagine playing Real Madrid with this team. Ronny no dae that."
Gregg the Red, Glasgow: "Why do you assume a very poor Celtic side will win the league ? We will run them close."
What now for Fraser Forster? The England cap has been heavily linked with Southampton and tonight's result may hasten the goalkeeper's departure from Celtic Park.
Robert Spencer: "#bbcsportscot who could Celtic be paired with in the Europa league and will they be seeded. Could they get Everton???
Celtic will be seeded and will thus avoid Tottenham Hotspur.
Stuart King: "#bbcsportscot Remember Artmedia Bratislava. Wee Gordy turned it round afterwards."
Celtic miss out on a third straight Champions League group stage campaign and will need to negotiate a play-off to get into a Europa League group.
The goals of Michal Zyro and Michal Kucharczyk beat Celtic on the night, adding to the 4-1 win Legia Warsaw recorded in last week's first leg.
Celtic 0-2 Legia Warsaw (agg 1-6)
Legia Warsaw complete a resounding aggregate win to progress to the Champions League play-off round. It's the Europa League play-off for Celtic.
Closing stages now. Not long left.
Final two substitutions for Legia Warsaw. Helio Pinto and Bartosz Bereszynski come on for Michal Zyro and Ondrej Duda.
James Forrest draws a save from Legia Warsaw goalkeeper Dusan Kuciak. The winger has at least injected some pace to the Celtic attack.
Callum McGregor and Leigh Griffiths try their best to give the Celtic fans something to cheer but neither finds their way to goal.
This was the scene in the Celtic penalty area following that second Legia Warsaw goal. It's been a miserable night at Murrayfield for the Scottish champions.
Alasdair Lamont
BBC Scotland's senior football reporter Alasdair Lamont at Murrayfield
"Swathes of Celtic fans leaving the ground, resigned to the fact their team has not been good enough over the two legs. It's a rude awakening, having enjoyed some really great European nights over the past two seasons."
Anytime Celtic go forward they come up against a brick wall. Legia Warsaw, on the other hand, spread the ball around freely once they get over halfway.
Legia Warsaw force a couple of corners in quick succession and make a change with Jakub Kosecki coming on to replace Michael Kucharczyk.
Conor Healy: "#bbcsportscot Only Ronny's 4th competitive game. Lennon and Strachan suffered big defeats in Europe when they started, give the man a chance"
More changes for Celtic. Anthony Stokes and Kris Commons make way for James Forrest and Teemu Pukki.
Marc Thomson: "#bbcsportscot this is dreadful. I understand balancing the books but to be gubbed like this must wake the board up"
Anthony Stokes has had little joy in attack for Celtic this evening.
