World Trade Organization:
Limited Progress at Hong Kong Ministerial Clouds Prospects for Doha Agreement

U.S. officials often call the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Doha Development Agenda or "Round" of global trade talks, launched in Doha, Qatar, in November 2001, a "once in a generation opportunity" to expand trade. President Bush has identified their success as his administration's top trade priority. Due to various U.S. notification and consultation requirements, concluding the negotiations in 2006 is essential for a Doha agreement to qualify for congressional consideration under U.S. Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which expires July 1, 2007. A ministerial meeting among the WTO's 149 members was held on December 13-18, 2005, in Hong Kong, China, to make decisions needed to advance the talks. Given the importance of the WTO Doha Round to the United States, GAO was asked to provide an update on the status of the negotiations. In this report, the latest in a series on the negotiations, we (1) provide the status of the Doha negotiations on the eve of the Hong Kong ministerial, (2) review the outcome of the Hong Kong ministerial, and (3) discuss the prospects for concluding the Doha Round before TPA expires in July 2007.
WTO members made little progress in 2005 toward their goal of completing the steps needed to set the stage for finalizing the Doha Round of global trade talks. The key milestones for progress through July were missed. Despite new proposals on agricultural subsidy and tariff cuts submitted in October 2005, it was clear by November that key players were too far apart to achieve the major decisions planned for the December ministerial. To avoid a failure, members agreed to lower expectations for the meeting. The Hong Kong ministerial resulted in modest agreements on a narrow range of agricultural and development issues. Ministers made little progress on the broader Doha negotiating agenda, including two other U.S. priorities--services and nonagricultural market access. Nevertheless, WTO members renewed their resolve to successfully conclude the Doha Round by the end of 2006 and set new interim deadlines under a compressed schedule to meet that goal. Critical decisions that will determine each member's cuts in tariffs and other barriers were due April 30 and July 31, 2006, but the April 30 deadline will be missed. WTO members continue to profess commitment to accomplish the ambitious agenda set at Doha. However, with nearly all tough decisions put off, the tension between members' original high ambitions and the U.S. TPA timeframe has become acute. Since the Hong Kong ministerial, members have taken concrete steps to help build consensus. Yet, the ongoing impasse on core areas such as agriculture, and the difficult political decisions needed to resolve it, cause many experts to be skeptical. Numerous time-consuming steps still must be completed in the little more than a year left before TPA expires. While holding out hope for an agreement that lives up to Doha's promise, experts say outright collapse, substantial delay, or modest results are all possible outcomes.

First offering from The Infamous Mobb Deep, hitting this March 2014.
Wow. I have to say this is some good old solid Mobb material. If this is a taste of what to expect, I'm in. Plus the bonus cd of lost sessions? This could be the Mobb I've been missing since Murda Muzik. Okay, I'll admit Infamy wasn't THAT terrible, but it seems everything else after that (excluding the solo albums, mixtapes, and I didn't get to hear Black Cocaine) were somewhat disappointing.
This might be the dopest shyte I heard this year. Hard not to love these 2 back on they killa ish.
This is def a step in the right direction. I haven't really dug Mobb Deep since Hell on Earth, but this sounds nice.
I agree with Man the Myth. Some of the best stuff I've heard since Hell on Earth. The beat reminds me of a Necro beat.
Just to clarify it is a double disc but the first disc is a remastered The Infamous LP and the second is unreleased material and a few new songs. So we are not getting a new LP of material at this time… This new song is hella dope though and hope this gets the ball rolling for a LP of all new material.

I want to keep my homepage static and create a page for the blog. I tried going to settings, under "reader" and followed the directions here:http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-separate-page-for-blog-posts-in-wordpress/ but then my homepage became blank and everything on my homepage was moved to the blog page. I just want a new page where I can make blog posts, keeping my homepage as is.
Any ideas?

Hey Lauren, I sent an e-mail letting you guys know that me and Troy are going to be coming down to visit from June 1-6. I don't know if you got them or not, but if you didn't just let me know I just wanted to ask about the drop in fees and stuff. Have a great day!
Great. I didn't see it yet… but I have been a bit behind with Regionals stuff and my regular job. 🙂 Sounds great through. That would be a good weekend. 🙂 Drop in fees are $20.
Awesome! I figured you guys were busy with Regionals anyways just wanted someone to know we'll be coming down. Good luck this weekend! We'll be cheering you guys on from home!
Would it be more beneficial in this type of METCON to choose a weight on the FS you can do unbroken? Or just do RX and break it up? Thanks, love the workouts!!!!

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sarah-Jo Lawrence scored a career-high 29 points, including a game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation, and George Washington upset No. 10 Texas A&M 66-65 in overtime on Thursday night.
Patrice Reado scored 21 and had 10 rebounds for Texas A&M (9-2). Antelia Parrish had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Kimberly Beck scored 10 points for George Washington (9-3).
Lawrence hit a 3-pointer from the left corner with 4.3 second left in regulation to send the game to overtime tied at 60. There was some initial confusion when the buzzer sounded; the scoreboard had only counted Lawrence's shot as a 2-pointer and the Aggies quickly inbounded the ball and dribbled up the court as if to avoid a foul, not taking a final attempt.
When the clock ran out, the scoreboard showed George Washington down by one point, but the officials quickly signaled Lawrence's shot had been a 3, sending the game to the extra period.
In overtime, George Washington built a 66-62 lead, mostly on free throws. Texas A&M's Danielle Gant hit a 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left to cut the lead to one, but George Washington inbounded the ball and avoided a foul to run out the clock.
George Washington's leading scorer Jessica Adair dressed for the game but did not play, never taking off her warmups on the bench.
Texas A&M lost starting forward Damitria Buchanan with four minutes left, when she limped off the court with an injury to her left leg. She did not return.
It was the second-straight win for George Washington against the Aggies. The Colonials beat Texas A&M 59-47 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament this March, keeping the Aggies from a Sweet Sixteen berth.
The Colonials had held a slight lead most of the second half, but Texas A&M was on a 12-3 run before Lawrence's shot.

Vanessa Hudgens in Designer Jeans
Vanessa Hudgens in Double Denim – MOTHER and WILDFOX
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted picking up some coffee in Los Angeles, California. For the run, the actress paired together a denim shirt from the MOTHER x Jacquie Aiche collaboration with the WILDFOX Yacht Shorts in Labor Day. She finished the look off with a pair of Saint Laurent boots and a Rebecca Minkoff bag.
I loved the collaboration that MOTHER did with Jacquie Aiche. The way they elevated the denim shirt was just perfect because they still had the heritage going, but they felt rich by choosing exotic skins instead of the traditional patching. I would definitely love to see them collaborate again for another collection, maybe take on suede western shirts with patches. How many of you would like to see another collaboration from the two labels as well? You can click here to purchase MOTHER from SHOPBOP and here for the WILDFOX shorts from their website.

Vanessa Hudgens in One Teaspoon Denim Shorts
Snapped while leaving a hospital, Vanessa Hudgens was seen carrying a giant pot of white orchids. Vanessa wore a pair of her One Teaspoon cut off shorts with a flowy white top and brown lace up sandals.
I think these shorts look absolutely amazing on her. Since they're cut to be slightly higher along the outside hem, they really flatter her legs nicely and make them look really long! You can buy One Teaspoon online from Shopbop.com.
Vanessa Hudgens in Current/Elliott The Skinny in Shredded Night
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted doing some shopping in Studio City, California. For the shopping trip, the actress pulled out her old Current/Elliott The Skinny in Shredded Night to pair with her favorite Isabel Marant boots and Celine bag.
There is something about the washed out blacks that Current/Elliott did that I still just love. There is an organic sense to them that is very versatile and I hope to see them bring back in their new updated fits. Click here to purchase Current/Elliott from SHOPBOP.
Vanessa Hudgens in One Teaspoon Ford Suspenders Shorts in White
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted heading to the salon in West Hollywood, California. The actress wore a pair of One Teaspoon Ford Suspenders Shorts in White with her favorite Isabel Marant boots and a Celine bag.
At first I didn't realize these shorts had suspenders as it kind of blended in with her shirt, but I do think it is a good look. By pairing it with the white t shirt, it takes away the overt quirk that suspenders tend to give off without taking away the fun of the piece. What do you think of the idea of the suspenders with these shorts? You can click here to purchase One Teaspoon from SHOPBOP.

Media Release: Judge Ngobeni appointed to lead inquiry into Kruger National Park fire disaster
Date: 2001-10-05
Judge D.D. Ngobeni, Senior Magistrate of Nelspruit has been appointed to lead an independent inquiry into the fire that devastated the Pretoriuskop area of the Kruger National Park last month, killing a total of twenty three people.
Nineteen of those killed came from the surrounding communities and had been contracted to cut grass in the park, four were park rangers who died trying to put out the fire. About 60 000 hectares of conservation land was also destroyed.
The Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Mr Mohammed Valli Moosa, asked the Chairman of the South African National Parks Board, Mr Murphy Morobe, to ensure that the cause of the fire was fully investigated.
According to Mr Morobe, Judge Ngobeni's appointment to lead the investigation is an excellent choice because of his judicial expertise and experience, and his familiarity with the region and its communities.
The investigation will include recommendations, as may be necessary, on steps that would need to be taken to prevent the recurrence of a disaster of this nature.

Desire Falkland Oil Find May Fan U.K., Argentina Feud
Desire Petroleum Plc, the U.K. energy explorer, said a well off the Falkland Islands made the region's second discovery this year, threatening to reignite a diplomatic dispute between the U.K. and Argentina.
In May, Rockhopper Exploration Plc made the first potentially commercial find around the South American islands 8,000 miles from the U.K. that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher went to war to defend in 1982. Argentina still claims sovereignty and is protesting the drilling by forbidding vessels to load cargo at its ports, while the Falkland Islands has said no Argentine company will be given a license there.
"The more successes that happen, the greater the prize and the more that diplomatic tensions will rise," said Peter Hitchens, an analyst at Panmure Gordon & Co. in London. Desire's discovery "has proved up another play in the area and it could become a major hydrocarbon zone."
Desire shares jumped 26 percent after the company said drilling at the Rachel North well encountered 57 meters of net pay in multiple zones at a depth of 3,052 meters (10,000 feet). Desire will now complete logging and sampling to analyze its quality and significance, it said.
The shares closed at 132.25 pence in London. Rockhopper, which owns a 7.5 percent interest in the well, jumped 8 percent and Argos Resources Ltd., another explorer in the islands, climbed 9 percent.
'Highly Prospective'
"This discovery, combined with Rockhopper's Sea Lion discovery, confirms our belief that the eastern flank play fairway in the North Falkland Basin is highly prospective and that further oil fields will be discovered in this area," Stephen Phipps, chairman of Malvern, England-based Desire, said in a statement.
Desire's Rachel discovery may yield about 50 million barrels of recoverable oil, which would make it "borderline commercial," Panmure Gordon's Hitchens. "It's not a slam-dunk like we've seen with Rockhopper."
Speculation about new strikes, as well as several disappointing wells, have given Desire and Rockhopper the largest average daily price moves in the last 180 days among U.K.-traded companies valued at more than 100 million pounds ($156 million). The U.S. Geological Survey says the islands' waters may hold 4 billion barrels of oil.
Desire, Argos and Salisbury, England-based Rockhopper are focusing on the northern side of the islands, while Borders & Southern Petroleum Plc and Falkland Oil & Gas hold licenses in a different geological formation on the southern side.
More Drilling
Borders & Southern said this week that it signed a contract with Ocean Rig UDW Inc. to provide drilling rigs. Falkland Oil & Gas has plans drill two prospects early next year, subject to rig availability.
The summer drilling season in the Falklands runs from October to April. Desire plans to drill two more wells this year, and Rockhopper holds a 7.5 percent interest in both.
Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., the largest U.S. deep-water oil driller, has offered Rockhopper the Ocean Guardian semi-submersible rig for three wells and possibly five extensions.

I sometimes wonder if these people who prey on the innocent and vulnerable have any morals at all. I know of a grown son who stole his mothers entire retirement and wasted it on himself and his speculative life style. He was also not licensed to sell securities just like the man in this story. Unfortunately, he spent only a short time in jail because his mother wouldn't testify against him.

Two comments: First, I just realized that making comments about criminal accusations is a GREAT way to get off jury duty. If you are called up, the attorneys will ask about your comments and you will be disqualified as prone to judge before having reliable information (of course, I know that most people are just sounding off and would be more circumspect if they were really called for jury duty. Or would they? Scary!) Second: Why do these things happen in Utah County or Utah in general or (if you cast a wider net) in smaller urban suburban areas. Answer: Because the residents have not been raised in a dog-eat-dog, always-watch-your-back environment of a major metropolitan area. We are not on our guard, because we don't have to be. So, Utah becomes a target for both in-state and out-of-state snake oil salesmen because we have the best population of trusting vulnerable victims. Remember things like this just don't make the front page in NYC. I'll stay here and just "raise my guard" -- just a little, thank you.

Graham, Kerry, Lieberman embrace market-based system to cut carbon pollution "in the range of 17%" by 2020 and 80%+ by 2050 — bipartisan backing for Obama's Copenhagen pledge.
Lieberman: "We're going to get this job done in this session of Congress"
"I believe the green economy is coming. That's not a question of if it's going to happen, it's just when it's going to happen. The sooner the better for me, because the jobs of the future lie in energy independence and cleaning up the environment…. Why can't America have the cleanest air?"
That's conservative Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) speaking at a today's press conference with John Kerry (D-MA) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT). The group released a framework for their bipartisan climate and clean energy bill today (here). Anyone who wants to understand what is going to happen next year in the Senate should listen to the event (here).
The bottom line: We are likely to get a bipartisan, economy-wide bill on the Senate floor "early next year" as Kerry put it. Lieberman said the bill would become law "in this session of Congress." A lot of big news came out of the press conference.
First, the bipartisan group endorsed a cut in carbon pollution "in the range of 17%" by 2020 and 80% or more by 2050. That matches the House bill, and equally important, it backs up the pledge the President has announced he is taking to Copenhagen (see Obama to attend Copenhagen, announces "a U.S. emissions reduction target in the range of 17% below 2005 levels in 2020″³). That puts Obama on much firmer ground with world leaders.
Second, Lieberman said Reid asked the group to combine the Energy Committee's bill with the Environment and Public Works bill to create a comprehensive bipartisan bill. So the few Senators out there still pushing an energy-only bill are basically just spinning their wheels, which is to say, wasting energy.
Third, Lieberman said the group "rejected" both a carbon tax and old-fashioned command and control legislation. He described their proposal as the "market-based system for punishing polluters previously known as-and-trade." Okay, that won't catch on. His tried and true, "polluter pays," might. Kerry repeated his phrase "pollution reduction incentive." Graham made clear that he — and most Republicans he has spoken to — understand that "unlimited carbon pollution" is not an option. That's why he endorses a mechanism that sets a carbon price. We'll learn in the coming months how many Rs he gets on board with him. I'm guessing another four.
Fourth, yes, there is going to be a big nuclear component to this bill, as well as a boost for domestic drilling for oil and gas. Not big news, I suppose, but it is central to Graham's support for the bipartisan effort and his message. This is, as they say, the price of admission for making this bipartisan effort work, for getting to 60 votes, which Lieberman says they don't have yet, but he is confident they will.
Fifth, the framework itself is news for the totality of the content agreed to by these three key senators representing the three central blocks in Congress — progressive Democrats, moderate/conservative Dems, and Republicans who are seriously interested in working toward energy independence and cutting carbon pollution:
Framework for Climate Action and Energy Independence in the U.S. Senate
Carbon pollution is altering the earth's climate. The impacts have already been seen and felt throughout our country and around the world. Monday's endangerment finding by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) underscores the importance of Congressional action to address greenhouse gas emissions before the EPA moves unilaterally.
This document outlines the principles and guidelines that will shape our ongoing efforts to develop comprehensive climate change and energy independence legislation. It is a starting point, inviting our colleagues' constructive input.
Our efforts seek to build upon the significant work already completed in Congress. Earlier this year, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed bipartisan legislation that will instruct our efforts to promote and achieve energy security. Important work to reduce carbon emissions has taken place in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which additionally informs us. We also anticipate consideration of issues related to climate change by the Senate Finance, Commerce, and Agriculture Committees.
It is critical to emphasize that this framework is a work in progress. We will continue to engage with our constituents, colleagues in the Senate, and stakeholders outside Washington in our effort to build a consensus that will lead to the passage of comprehensive climate and energy legislation. The only way to succeed is through ongoing engagement and an honest effort to put all ideas on the table.
Better jobs, cleaner air. Our legislation will contain comprehensive pollution reduction targets that are both environmentally significant and achievable. It is our belief that a market-based system, rather than a labyrinth of command-and-control regulations, will allow us to reduce pollution economically and avoid the worst impacts of global climate change. It will also provide significant transition assistance to companies and consumers without using taxpayer dollars or driving up the national debt. We believe a near term pollution reduction target in the range of 17 percent below 2005 emissions levels is achievable and reasonable, as is a long term target of approximately 80 percent below 2005 levels. Finally, we believe a robust investment in the development and deployment of clean energy technologies will ensure that as pollution reduction targets become more rigorous, companies will be better equipped to meet their obligations in a cost effective manner.
Many business leaders have endorsed this approach. Just last week, David Cote, the CEO of Honeywell, as well as other business leaders, persuasively argued that setting a price on carbon would create demand for clean energy technologies and provide a tremendous opportunity for economic growth and job creation in America. He said: "There will be no jobs created without demand. This legislation would stimulate the demand for energy efficiency products and services and low carbon sources of energy. China and India are stimulating their domestic demand for these products and technologies much more aggressively than we are and will take the global competitiveness lead unless we act. Cap and trade enables businesses to use the market to most effectively and efficiently develop that 21st century global competitiveness." Mr. Cote's words have been echoed by other American business leaders including Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy, who has said, "the sooner we pass climate change legislation – the better off our economy, and the world's environment – will be. If we go about it the right way, we can not only avoid unnecessary economic harm and dislocation, but we can also ignite a lower carbon, green revolution and more rapidly put this recession in our rear view mirror."
Securing energy independence. We find ourselves more dependent on foreign oil today than any other time in our nation's history, and that is unacceptable. Every day, we spend nearly $1 billion to sustain our addiction to foreign energy sources – and we ship Americans' hard earned dollars overseas, some of which finds its way to extremist or terrorist organizations. Presidents and politicians have bemoaned this fact for decades; and now is the moment when we can – and must – break that habit. By spurring the development and deployment of new clean energy technologies and increasing our supply of domestically produced oil and natural gas on land and offshore, our legislation will ensure America's energy security. We will do so in a way that sends money back to the states that opt to drill and also provides new federal government revenues to advance climate mitigation goals. We will also encourage investments in energy efficiency because we believe that consuming less power will help keep energy bills down and simultaneously extend the life of our domestic energy resources. Finally, maintaining the ability to refine petroleum products in the United States is a national security priority. It is our belief that we can preserve our refining capacity without sacrificing our environmental goals. If energy independence is to be a priority, we must keep the entire energy cycle right here at home.
Creating regulatory predictability. By failing to legislate, Congress is ceding the policy reins to the EPA and ignoring our responsibility to our constituents. We are working with our colleagues, the Administration and outside stakeholders to strike a sensible balance and determine the appropriate way to provide regulatory predictability. We agree that providing the business community as much certainty as possible is essential to attract investment, create jobs and generate the confidence necessary to reach our goals. The absence of national greenhouse gas emissions standards has invited a patchwork of inconsistent state and regional regulations. Since it is not reasonable to expect businesses to comply with fifty different standards, it is imperative that a federal pollution control system be meaningful and be set by federally elected officials.
Protecting consumers. It is critical to provide transitional assistance to households and businesses to ease the shift to a low-carbon economy. We will provide support to help companies meet their compliance obligations and avoid driving up prices for energy consumers. We will include special protections for low- and middle-income Americans, who spend a disproportionately large amount of their income on energy. We are considering a number of mechanisms, including a price collar and strategic reserve, to moderate the price of carbon and prevent extreme market volatility while maintaining the environmental integrity of the pollution reduction program. Additionally, we support energy efficiency programs to help reduce energy bills long into the future.
Encouraging nuclear power. Additional nuclear power is an essential component of our strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We strongly support incentives for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, but successful legislation must also recognize the important role for clean nuclear power in our low-emissions future. America has lost its nuclear technology manufacturing base, and we must rebuild it in order to compete in the global marketplace. Our legislation will encourage the construction of new nuclear power plants and provide funding to train the next generation of nuclear workers. We will make it easier to finance the construction of new nuclear power plants and improve the efficiency of the licensing process for traditional as well as small modular reactors, while fully respecting safety and environmental concerns. In addition, we support the research and development of new, safe ways to minimize nuclear waste. We are working with our colleagues to create incentives for low-carbon power sources, including nuclear, that will complement the Energy and Natural Resource Committee's work to incentivize renewable electricity.
Ensuring a future for coal. Our country has plentiful, accessible coal resources and infrastructure. It is a key component of our current fuel mix. As Senator Byrd pointed out in a recent op-ed, "No deliberate effort to do away with the coal industry could ever succeed in Washington because there is no available alternative energy supply that could immediately supplant the use of coal for base load power generation in America." He also acknowledged that, "to deny the mounting science of climate change is to stick our heads in the sand and say 'deal me out'"¦ The truth is that some form of climate legislation will likely become public policy because most American voters want a healthier environment." We agree with both statements. However, due to current regulatory uncertainty, it is increasingly challenging to site new coal facilities, and utilities are switching to other fuel sources. Earlier this month, an electric utility in North Carolina announced its plans to take 11 existing coal facilities out of operation. Coal's future as part of the energy mix is inseparable from the passage of comprehensive climate change and energy legislation. We will commit significant resources to the rapid development and deployment of clean coal technology, and dedicated support for early deployment of carbon capture and sequestration.
The Byrd op-ed they quoted from is here — Sen. Byrd stunner: "Coal Must Embrace The Future: The truth is that some form of climate legislation will likely become public policy because most American voters want a healthier environment."
Reviving American manufacturing by creating jobs. Manufacturing is the backbone of our nation's economy, and we refuse to believe that the days of American leadership are behind us. Despite some initial success stories, such as North Dakota's 30 percent growth in clean energy jobs in the last decade, the United States is falling behind. Successful climate legislation will not send existing jobs overseas. Rather, pricing carbon will drive innovation – creating new opportunities for those who develop clean energy technologies, as well as those who build, install, and maintain them. We plan to provide significant assistance to manufacturers to avoid carbon leakage and ensure the continued competitiveness of American-made goods. Our legislation will also provide financial incentives to both large and small manufacturers to improve the efficiency of their processes, which will mean even more new jobs. In addition to employing thousands in the building trades, our envisioned development of nuclear and wind power will also mean jobs and growth for our steel industry. It is time to regain our leadership and create the jobs of the future here in America.
Creating wealth for domestic agriculture and forestry. While emissions from agriculture will not be regulated, climate legislation will provide farmers with new opportunities to benefit from reducing their carbon emissions. Offset projects and other incentives will enable farmers to develop new income streams, as environmentally-friendly farming practices dramatically increase in value once a price is placed on carbon. According to USDA Secretary Vilsack, "the economic opportunities for farmers and ranchers can potentially outpace, perhaps significantly, the costs from climate legislation." In addition, a new USDA study released last week shows that this can be accomplished without an appreciable rise in food prices. While we are still discussing the details of the offset program with our colleagues, we have reached agreement that we will include significant amounts of real, monitored and verified domestic and international offsets and other incentives in our system in order to contain costs and create opportunities for farmers, ranchers and forest owners to benefit from climate change legislation.
Regulating the carbon market. We will support vigilant carbon market oversight, real-time transparency, adequate settlement requirements to control risk in the market and strong quality controls to ensure maximum effectiveness and clarity. We will not stand for market abuse or manipulation, and we believe it is essential that any comprehensive emissions reduction strategy include provisions to ensure openness and accountability within the carbon market.
Climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. Ultimately, climate change must be addressed through a strong international agreement that includes real, measurable, reportable, verifiable and enforceable actions by all nations. American leadership is essential, but action by the developing world is necessary to maximize the benefits of our effort. To this end, we acknowledge the role the United States can play to help provide long-term financing to assist developing countries adapt to climate change, generate energy cleanly and reduce emissions from deforestation. Additional private climate finance provided through international offsets has the added benefit of reducing costs for American consumers. As we work collectively with other countries to reduce global emissions, we agree with nine of our colleagues who wrote earlier this month: "enhanced technology cooperation will benefit the United States but must be coupled with strong protections for intellectual property rights." Finally, we will include strong measures that are compatible with our obligations under the World Trade Organization to prevent our economic competitors from exploiting the American market if they shirk their responsibility to minimize carbon pollution.
Building consensus. We intend to continue to engage our Senate colleagues in the weeks ahead to develop sensible, effective climate change legislation that will create jobs, ensure our energy independence, restore America to a position of leadership in the clean energy economy and reduce pollution. We are inspired by the years of work that have already been done and we hope both to build on those efforts and to devise new, innovative ideas for resolving some of the issues that have long blocked the passage of a climate change bill in the Senate. Every perspective is valuable and we invite all of our colleagues, stakeholders and constituents to join us in this effort to find consensus. Together, we can and will pass climate change and energy independence legislation this Congress.
Kudos to Graham, Kerry, and Lieberman for coming together to make a bipartisan climate and clean energy bill possible next year — and thereby make a global climate deal coming out of Copenhagen possible.
For completeness, here's a "Statement by the Press Secretary on the Comprehensive Energy Framework":
Today, Senators Kerry, Lieberman and Graham took another significant step in the effort to pass comprehensive energy reform with the release of their legislative framework. The President believes this is a positive development towards reaching a strong, unified and bipartisan agreement in the U.S. Senate.
Over the last 11 months, the Obama Administration has made historic strides in building a clean energy economy, creating new American jobs and reducing US dependence on foreign oil. From robust domestic actions including historic investments in clean energy to sustained international engagement to encourage countries around the world to reduce their carbon emissions, the President has established a new energy foundation. The passage of comprehensive energy legislation is essential to that effort.
In a demonstration of the growing consensus surrounding the need to reform our energy economy, the President heard from CEOs yesterday who told him that passing clean energy legislation and supporting an international accord to reduce emissions will strengthen our economy and enhance our competitiveness.
The President looks forward to working with the Senate and signing comprehensive energy and climate legislation as soon as possible.
23 Responses to Graham, Kerry, Lieberman embrace market-based system to cut carbon pollution "in the range of 17%" by 2020 and 80%+ by 2050 — bipartisan backing for Obama's Copenhagen pledge.
Sorry, but I don't see the massive misdirection of resources into nuclear power, "ensuring a future for coal", and off-shore drilling as merely the cost of getting an effective bill passed.
I see them as fatally undermining the effectiveness of the bill.
What it tells me is that just as the Senate "health reform" bill is about protecting the profits of the insurance corporations against the best interests of the American people, this bill is about protecting the profits of the fossil fuel and nuclear corporations against the best interests of the American people.
It may be the best that is "politically possible". Joe is certainly a far better judge of that than I am.
But that doesn't mean that I have to pretend that it is adequate to address the problem. It is a huge exercise in foot-dragging by entrenched, wealthy, powerful interests and it falls far, far short of what every reader of this blog KNOWS we could do with wind and solar energy — which we WON'T do if hundreds of billions of dollars are siphoned off into the nuclear and "clean coal" boondoggles.
All I would ask, is that coverage of this bill on this site will avoid saying that the bill's massive giveaways to the nuclear, coal and oil corporations are merely "a problem for some environmentalists", as though they only matter to a handful of dirty hippie green extremists, and point out that they are a substantive, real and serious problem for the effectiveness of the legislation.
[JR: All I would ask is that you actually read what I have written many, many times on this site. The drilling was inevitable, since the price of oil is going back to $150+. The Dems were going to cave eventually. Better to do it now. It's not like this matters in terms of global emissions — there's just too little out there. If folks vote for this because they think it insures a future for coal — well, that's fine by me. Certainly if we didn't try to do CCS, coal would be dead, but as I've blogged many times, I just don't think it's going to be affordable, practical, and scalable solution. Still, it is worth pursuing because, with biomass, it can lead to carbon-negative electricity, which will need. And nuclear has priced itself out of the marketplace, and I doubt anything the government does can change that, but, hey, if this led to affordable and scalable and practical nuclear, well, that wouldn't be the worst thing either.
In any case, there's no possibility of a bill without those three things, so you can choose to live in an imaginary world filled with congressmen and women of both parties who are vastly more progressive than long-standing environmental champions like Waxman, Markey, and Kerry. But that doesn't happen to be the world we live in. I suggest you revisit the House vote. It was quite sobering.
The bill Graham, Lieberman, and Kerry are pursuing would be far away the greatest piece of environmental and clean energy legislation ever passed by any country. It would finish the transition to a low carbon, clean energy economy begun in the remarkable stimulus bill. If you can't take 4/5 of a loaf, well, then, I rather wonder how you have been sticking around this website for so long.]
Yet more Clean coal – Figures! And even more drilling for nonexistent domestic oil. Don't they know that it's all gone?
So are we doomed Joe – since it looks like there's about zero chance that our political leadership is willing to make the necessary hard decisions that are in the public's long term best interests?
[JR: But you have the answer in your comment. The dirty stuff will fail with the smallest of pushes….]
It needs to be pointed out — and generally isn't — that the reduction figures coming out of the United States, which are based on a comparison with 2005, are seriously out of sync with the rest of the world, which is basing their comparisons on 1995. So they don't mean much. An already measly 17% cut based on 2005 is the equivalent of a titanic 4% cut from 1995 levels. We can delude ourselves if we want to, but we can't delude the science. It won't yield. Fairly meaningless reductions, plus coal. That's what America is proposing to contribute to this spiralling emergency. Have they no shame?
The nuclear or offshore drilling components don't concern me much. Nuclear is a very low carbon solution, so while perhaps wasteful to push incentives for the expensive nuclear industry when we arguably have viable renewable alternatives, it doesn't undermine the core carbon emissions reduction goal. Renewables have plenty of incentives as well.
I agree with Romm's response in #2 with offshore drilling. It's expensive and not a terrible amount of carbon out there offshore that's economically viable. It's more of an appeasment for Graham and the Drill Here and Now crowd to get a few dollars into his state, but it's not going to do anything to lower gas prices and little impact as far as carbon emissions go.
Coal is the biggest concern.
"We will commit significant resources to the rapid development and deployment of clean coal technology, and dedicated support for early deployment of carbon capture and sequestration."
Why is "clean coal" mentioned in a way that distinguishes it from "carbon capture and sequestration" or is this just poor wording? Clean coal has to include CCS for it to work, which is a decade a way from being really viable at the earliest. We've seen how the coal industry defines "clean coal" and it doesn't include CCS. Let's make sure there are no loopholes that negates the price on carbon.
I say go ahead and put nuclear in; it is not really all that likely that we'll actually get any. Likewise, the models assume we use all the oil we can get our mitts on. As opposed to oh, say HCR, these cap and trade bills are rather solid to begin with, and it is the assumption of many that once significant progress is made on reductions the goals will be set higher. By that time we will better be able to determine what is readily achievable. No worries, mates. This is good news and we should be more unified in our support of these bills. I really detest having to say that, but I think HCR has been such a shining example of how Congress can be quite inept when we allow them. By being more unified on cap-and-trade, we greatly increase the chances of having the bill pass. I can't imagine that the senate will be up for another (work that Joe doesn't allow) of a debate between multiple factions. Progressives will lose out again if we let the enlighted ones take too much time on this one.
I think clean coal other than sequestration includes gasification.
I've no problem with some compomise.
But the problem is dems are adept at giving the whole farm away and getting a few pennies in return. So much was given away even in the stimulus package to get just a couple of votes. Same with the health "reform".
If we can get a tighter bill with no loopholes and lower cap – compromises make some sense.
Well, we can always take away the coal plants when the implications of climate change become more realistic. Putting something on the table now is absolutely essential before the Teabaggers threaten to derail everything which the scientific community has fought so hard for.
Not exactly the "WW2-scale effort to get to zero emissions now". But if they get a bill passed, I guess that's one step forward. Frankly, I think we're doomed.
Awhile back, when there was that humungous drought down south, and 3 states were all fighting over a puddle of water, they had to shut down the nuclear power plant that was nearby because they couldn't spare the water for the cooling process. Since experts are predicting a decrease of about 40% less water in the near future due to aquifiers being sucked dry, etc., nuclear may be a big waste of money…
What would 17 per cent below 2005 levels be when measured against 1990 levels?
Is this a possible breakthrough??
http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2009/12/slight-glimmer-of-hope.html or just a fantasy?
To Tyler: I think they said "about 4%".
According to http://www.sandbagclimategame.org/tc, the 17% target by 2020 is a modest 3.4%. The use of 2005 is what got my country (Canada) a Fossil of the Day award yesterday – along with our pitiful 3% target. How is this "the greatest piece of environmental and clean energy legislation ever passed by any country" considering the EU targets?
Although I don't like the support for nuclear, coal, or gas. The main point is to avoid catastrophic global warming, and also bear in mind that this is a first step, and with the support of renewables, I think the market will help to create a dramatic shift away from nuclear, coal, and gas regardless.
The funny thing is in 20 yrs. the gas companies will be mostly renewable fuel.
As for coal, it will now be regulated, so hopefully a lot less backward actions against local climates. Though, everyone knows putting up some wind farms is a lot better idea than, blowing up mountains.
It sucks that this is such great news only by comparison to anything we've done so far. And it sucks that this is supposed to be the best we can possibly hope for under the current circumstances, because it's not nearly good enough to save the most vulnerable nations. Bummer for them.
But Joe Romm is no doubt right. With the current state of the US Congress and the huge gap between the scientific evidence of what's happening and the American public's understanding or awareness of what's happening, you're not going to get a better bill than this right now.
That doesn't mean we should be proud of offering the world this meager effort in emission cuts or that we should pretend this bill has the sense of urgency the climate crisis calls for.
But it doesn't mean the next generation is going to ever buy the argument that we did the best we could with the politicians and sense of justice we had at the time. Tell that to Tuvalu or the people of the Kiribati islands or Bangladesh. Try explaining that to the satisfaction of the G-77 nations who know when they're being asked to BOHICA by the first world nations. But it's the best we can do and it is after all 4/5 of a loaf.
Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown…
Some good is certainly better than no good, but that's not the issue. If we don't reach a critical mass of reductions (or avoid hitting a critical mass of CO2 in the atmosphere), then all the political possibilities and victories won't mean a thing.
The environment is stunningly indifferent to our political concerns or realities, our needs, wants, and desires.
If it turns out that this is all we'll get over the next decade or so (and it's far too early to leap to that conclusion)–minimal progress from the US, and China and India sticking to their ludicrous "intensity" based reductions (which will almost surely result in increases in their emissions)–then call in the dogs, [expletive] on the fire, the party's over.
Lou Grinzo
Clean energy technologies are very good technologies, and the sometimes greedy… err entrepenuerial nature of governments, businesses, and individuals will embrace what sells. Of course, I'm speaking in very general terms, but, in my humble opinion, I think the new green will be like the old green – it will have to supply our energy needs after all.
It appears we have failed; all our e-mails, blogs, and columns have failed to convince congress of the seriousness of the climate situation! A 17% reduction from 2005 will not, repeat, not do the job. Waiting another year while the nations of the world haggle over new definitive CO2 reductions puts the planet at a terrible risk.Do you expect them after one year to be so scared that they will come up with miracle solutions to the money, energy, and CO2 problem that they cannot find now? All the climate calculations and probabilities of high temp in the future I have seen recently have scared me, but not enough of the world leaders evidently. Certainly our congressional leaders are not scared. Obama is helping but yet helpless.
What I read is auto companies poring their goods into India and China (now having the biggest market) and actually selling more cars in China than cars in the U.S.! When the world recession is completely on the mend wait and see how fast the atmospheric concentration of C2 goes from 390 to 450. It is too late to stop that now.
As for nuclear, if we and most other nations do not build nuclear plants, then coal and natural gas plants will have to be built. No doubt wind turbines, biomass plants, and solar thermal will thankfully supply some reasonable amount of base-load electricity, but not all. In the U.S we have inadequate electric distribution for solar and wind to be that helpful in the next 20 years.
So THERE all you lying denialist idiots. Go talk to Sen. Graham and those CEOs about the real world.
We simply can't afford to repeat the Kyoto episode with a deal that has no chance of gaining Senate ratification. Today's K/L/G announcement is a huge game-changer that I hope might clear the way for us to get a deal done this coming year. I write this as one who was a campus anti-nuclear leader back in the late 70s, but recognize that we just HAVE to get over the hump on carbon. Frankly, I'm not too worried about the nuclear part of this K/L/G thing, anyway. It's dinosaur industry and, if the right incentives are there for renewables and energy efficiency, then the sheer economics of nuclear power would pretty much stifle significant new projects.
Dr. Eisner, what scares me is that the summer sea ice is now so thin that you can't even walk on it! It doesn't seem like there would be any ice left at the end of summer next year??! The newspaper said, "As I watched, over the course of five minutes, the entire multiyear ice floe broke up into pieces. This floe was 10 miles across." The paper also said, "the permanent ice, which is normally up to 30 feet thick, was easily pierced by the research ship." They had believed the northern sea ice had been recovering because of satellite images but then realized the images were flawed.
This is a remarkable and monumental step because it moves us closer to a real plan to price carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. Without a political consensus in favor of pricing carbon the environment might in fact be doomed–with this principle accepted there is cause for hope, though further work will be needed.
Can we see a life preserver being thrown at us drowning Americans and do more than yell back to the Samaritan:
"it's yellow. I want an orange vest".
I have my problems with Senator Lieberman but this trio deserves a high five.
And, the anti nuke folk who worry that the waste will be around for many thousands of years have never given a thought about timing of AGW or the more recent projections about how little time civilization has to act to survive global warming.
John McCormick
I too think this is a step forward. Lets recall that many of the arguments that are making it hard to get to 60 votes, are ones that will be lessened once the plan is in place (the market mechanism won't work, it will mean we are micro regulating peoples lifestyles, etc, etc) or ones that will be less important over time (right now US unemployment is high, it may be easier to go for more ambitious targets when we are in a macroeconomic upcycle).
also, I suspect theres a demographic element. Arent young people more concerned about this, more green, than older folks on average? Time will make them more dominant, by the simple fact that the old die off.

DiRT 3 video shows off the Kenya Sprint Rally
The DiRT 3 community team has just uploaded a new video showing off IRC rally champion Kris Meeke taking an MG Metro 6R4 around the Kenya Sprint Rally Track in the game. It's quick.
It's a high quality off-screen video showing Meeke playing the game with a steering wheel on a three-monitor setup, and the game looks stunning.
It's also worth noting that Meeke is playing with manual clutch and a realistic gearstick. See for yourself below.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Andy Dalton didn't want to look at his stats from last season, but they were hard to avoid.
As TCU's starting quarterback, Dalton wanted to be a legitimate passing threat, but through the first seven games of last season, he had no passing touchdowns. During TCU's biggest game of the season, against Utah, he threw no touchdowns and two interceptions.
"To see last year and go through my first seven games and not have a touchdown pass, that's frustrating a little bit," Dalton said. "After that, it picked up. But we knew this offense was capable of doing a lot of things."
While Dalton had been tabbed as more of a running quarterback because his stats were more consistent running the ball, he said that all through high school, he had been a passer, and he wanted to get back to being that player. TCU wasn't going to change its run-first philosophy, but being balanced was something the Horned Frogs knew they'd need if they wanted a shot at an undefeated season and a BCS bowl.
So in the spring and through the summer, the offense got together and strengthened the passing game. Dalton started to get a better rapport with his receivers and running backs, and they started to see results.
"We wanted to throw the ball, but our goal was to throw it more efficiently, not throw it more; we're not going to throw the ball 60 times a game," TCU co-offensive coordinator Justin Fuente said.
But Fuente also had to make sure Dalton was looking at the big picture. Because TCU was a run-centric team, Fuente needed to make sure Dalton understood that the only statistic that mattered at the end of the day was the win.
"Andy and I talked before the season, and I said, 'Andy, if you spend one second thinking about a stat, you're wrong. If it crosses your mind for one play in a game, then you're wrong. There's only one stat that matters, and that's whether we win or lose the game, and it's your job to handle it,'" Fuente said. "I understand where he's coming from, but we tried to address it early. Not that it was a problem, but that success will come with team success. And he understands that. He didn't need anybody to tell him that."
As the wins started coming, Dalton's play and leadership improved. He became more consistent, protected the ball better and started using multiple receivers instead of relying on Jimmy Young, who had 988 yards in 2008. The next closest receiver, Ryan Christian, had 321.
This season, six players have double-digit receptions, and all of those players have at least 200 yards receiving. Jeremy Kerley leads the Frogs with 467 yards but is one of three players with 400 receiving yards, including Young.
Dalton has thrown 22 touchdowns and just five interceptions. Last season, he threw 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. He ranks fourth in the country in passing efficiency.
"I felt like I matured a lot," Dalton said. "I see things a whole lot better, and that just comes with experience. I know what I can and can't do. I know when I can try to make a play and when not to. I think that just comes with time."
Dalton also rectified his production in big games. He came up with two big touchdown passes in a close win against Clemson and made several key plays in an icy game against Air Force. He threw four total touchdowns against ranked BYU and Utah teams, and just one interception. He's thrown (2,484) and rushed (522) for more yards this season than he has at any other point in his career.
"The thing about Andy is that Andy is a perfectionist, and that is something that's really played to his development," Fuente said. "He does not like it when he's not right and will go to great lengths to make sure he is right. I think as a coach you see it in practice, you see it in his preparation every week. The questions that you get from Andy aren't the questions that you get from some other guys. His development and his knowledge base is quite a bit higher."
Fuente said the reason Dalton was able to make so many strides this season was the play of the running game, which accounted for 3,078 yards. The threat of the running game allowed Dalton that early comfort of easing into a rhythm with his receivers, and once he found it, he never looked back.
Coach Gary Patterson added that it's the experiences that have made Dalton the quarterback he is today. The ups and downs, the hard losses and injuries, and even the lackluster efforts -- Dalton had to go through all those things to appreciate the joy of a perfect season. The culmination of drive, desire and determination all fueled by stats he wasn't supposed to care about.
"All the things he's gone through, playing at Oklahoma, playing at Texas when he was a redshirt freshman and playing in that Utah game [2008]. I think the Utah game made a big difference in all of us," Patterson said. "It's a toughness thing, and how close the fine line is between winning and losing. We learned that as players, coaches, everybody. And that's been the difference this year."

Cancer Health Center
Onions and Garlic May Prevent Cancers
Nov. 21, 2006 -- Better load up on the breath mints; a new study suggests eating lots of garlic and onions may help prevent cancer.
Italian researchers found that people whose diets are rich in onions, garlic, and other alliums have a much lower risk of several types of cancer than those who avoid the pungent herbs.
Researcher Carlotta Galeone, of the Istituto di Ricerche Farmocologiche "Mario Negri" in Milan, and colleagues say the health benefits of onion and garlic have been touted for centuries, but few studies have been able to prove the benefits.
Pungent Cancer Prevention
In their study, researchers used data from several Italian and Swiss cancer studies to look at the relationship between onion and garlic consumption and cancer at several body sites, including the mouth, larynx, esophagus, colon, breast, ovary, and kidneys.
Overall, consumption of onions ranged from 0-14 portions per week among cancer patients and 0-22 portions per week among those without cancer.
Garlic use was also lower among people with cancer, except for those with cancer of the breast, ovary, or prostate.
Researchers found moderate consumption of onions appeared to reduce the risk of colorectal, laryngeal, and ovarian cancers.
The protective effect was even greater among those who ate the most onions compared to those who ate the least. People who ate the most onions also had a lower risk of oral and esophageal cancers than those who ate the least.
Moderate use of garlic was also associated with a lower risk of colorectal and renal cell (a type of kidney cancer) cancers.
Again, the anticancer effect increased with the more garlic they ate. People who ate the most garlic had a lower risk of all cancers except breast and prostate cancers, which are mainly associated with hormonal and reproductive issues, write the researchers.
Researchers say onion and garlic consumption could simply be a marker for a healthier lifestyle and a diet high in a variety of potentially cancer-fighting herbs and vegetables.
However, the protective effect of onions and garlic against cancer remained significant even when they controlled for total vegetable intake.
Their results appear the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

More specifically, I'm trying to simulate the Pokemon TCG, if that helps.
Currently, I have a handle on the basic elements of the game, like drawing cards and shuffling. However, I am lost on how to implement the functionalities unique to certain cards.
To simplify things, I have a deck class and a card class. The card class includes variables like a card's name and type, and it gets their values by extracting them from a database. But say, if I'm trying to create a Base Set Charizard, how would I store and call his poke-power (read:ability), as it has effects beyond the normal rules of the game and needs its own code.
Would it be efficient (or is it even possible) to store the code for the ability into a database and call it when needed? If not, what are the best alternatives to attack this situation?
