Attitudes toward mothering and motherhood are examined within a sample representative of college-educated young adults and their mothers. Factor structures are compared based upon response to the 40-item Motherhood Inventory. Two factors are indicated for males: a "chauvinism" factor describing women as appropriately serving and providing for men and children, and a factor that represents acceptance of contraceptive choice for women. For younger women, the theme of reproductive freedom includes autonomy in choice of motherhood as well as personal fulfillment; a second factor describes traditional rewards and responsibilities of motherhood. For older women, a single dominant factor represents a highly conventionalized definition of women's familial roles. On a scale of acceptance of reproductive freedom (the single common dimension observed for all groups), men score lower than women and Catholics score lower than non-Catholics.

Found out today I have TMJ (which stands for Totally Messed-up Jaw, as far as I'm concerned.) I had a tooth pulled last week, and thought I was developing a dry socket infection and went back to the dentist. Turns out no, the socket isn't infected...there's just a misalignment now in my mouth which causes:
1. Plugged-up ears.
2. Jaw pain.
3. Ringing in the ears.
4. Dizziness.
5. Migraines (which I was already getting.)
The fix? Expensive partials--which I had always hoped to avoid getting whether I could afford them or not.
Enough whining. Yar.

Played there using 'no deposit bonus', it was not hard to wager initial $75 as there are quite a few games to use. The problem arrived upon completion of wagering the bonus - you are not able to withdraw less than $100...
I figured out I could of topped up my account using one of ewallets and then withdraw $100, so I hit the live help button and type the message to confirm this is going to work this way...3 days now no answer.
A lots of countries are restricted here and that's a big -
On top of the no deposit bonus you will get additonal deposit bonus the wagering is normal as for this casinos only 30 x which isnt too high. The site itself is average in compare to others, customer support is reachable via email .Read that some players experirenced a withdrawal issues , some of them experienced problems withdrawing winnnings so be careful before depositing.
yeah luminairee i know the feeling my country is restricted in 50% of casino's and i still dont get it why
Yeah, many codes, many bonuses, free spins and all It looks like a good dream in which you are the star. Now, wake up because if you deposit at this casino, the dream will turn into a nightmare and for a long time ... for so long as you'll wait for your money. That may be forever.
cristi1155 we have a bad reputation thats why
If contemplating a visit to Vegas Strip Casino, LCB's warning above and the bad reputation of the Virtual group as a whole should convince potential customers to stay away from this RTG site.
I suppose many people from certain countries feel that this casino is bad. I can tell you that those of you who post this nonsense have little clue on what you are talking about. I hate no deposit bonuses because when you win, you can only take $100 with you, plus another $15 to $25 for the processing fee (which includes the courier service). You end up with $75 to $85. Eh ... not my cup of tea.
Real money deposits with big bonuses is the way to go. And it isn't impossible to win. If you like gambling and know how to manage your money, winning is very possible.
In the end, you are most likely going to wait anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to get your payment approved, and another 2 weeks to get paid - so generally 4 to 6 weeks for each payment. But it will be approved and you will get paid. I have nothing but great expectations since both the Virtual Casino Group & Ace Revenue Group have both changed their reputations in the last 2 years while fighting through many fraudsters (mostly non-Uk and non-US) when it comes to those doing chargebacks and trying to trick the casino. If Virtual Casino pays out (which they have proven to me and other players I know), then Vegas Strip pays out too.
Read the Terms & Conditions before you unfairly judge a casino that follows thru on exactly what they tell their players. If you can't read and understand the rules, then you have no business rating the casino.
i love this casino
I just write review about RTG network casino Prism, so I can give 5 stars rating to this casino also. I take two ND bonuses at the same time for Prism and Vegas strip casino. I made WR in both of them. It takes 6 days to review my account and confirm my documents, that I send to customer services and take 2 days to recieve my money. To I am glad, to be a part of Prism and Vegas strip casino.
So two withdrawals at the same day, from prism and vegas strip casino.
I think I have to say that pretty much everything I've read or hear about these guys which is stay away is true. I don't think would ever trust this place enough to ever make a real deposit here. They are so sketchy with there terms and conditions and not
very clear as if they are trying to deceive the player or be able to justify there actions because you have somehow not complied with there Terms and Conditions. I had opened an account and claimed a no deposit bonus, met the wagering requirements and had submitted my documents which had already been approved. When I requested a cash out it was denied. When I questioned why they said multiple free chips on similar accounts. What does that mean? I only have one account at Cirrus so the best I can figure is similar accounts means accounts at there sister sites which there terms and conditions state nothing about that. What a joke.
I finally made a deposit here, I joined quite awhile back, but then because I am in Canada was not allowed to play for quite some time. I am now allowed to play, and I know that it says on LCB's website that Canada is not allowed, I contacted live chat and they said I could play here. I made a deposit with my Players Reward card, claimed the 550% Welcome bonus and let it roll. :) Well, I did not have a fabulous cashout, I did though have a good time with my deposit and the huge welcome bonus.
I am happy to have finally made a deposit here, and hope for the best in the future with Vegas Strip Casino. :) The Casino works well. I had a really good time on Double Ya Luck, this is a really fun game to play, but I feel for myself anyways I need to play it for awhile, I never started to win until playing it for quite some time.
This is up there as far as one of the first casinos I started playing at when I started online gambling years ago. I didn't know any better and yes I made quite a few deposits and never a withdrawal. I didn't know any better and didn't know about the different gaming forums to see that this was a shadey place to play. I haven't played here in quite a few years and I believe the last time I deposited was back in 2009. Support sucks and quite rude. Beware of this casino.

The metaphysical poets is a term coined by the poet and critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group of British lyric poets of the 17th century, whose work was characterized by the inventive use of conceits, and by speculation about topics such as love or religion. These poets were not formally affiliated; most of them did not even know or read each other.
This is a very broad term, but it joins together a number of 17th century poets, most notable among them John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Andrew Marvell, Henry Vaughn and Abraham Cowley.
By itself, metaphysical means dealing with the relationship between spirit to matter or the ultimate nature of reality. The Metaphysical poets are obviously not the only poets to deal with this subject matter, so there are a number of other qualities involved as well:
This argument is answered in at least two ways:
Platonic love (which is a lot more than you probably think it means). For Plato, beauty proceeds in a series of steps from the love of one beautiful body to that of two, to the love of physical beauty in general, and ultimately to the love of that beauty "not in the likeness of a face or hands or in the forms of speech or knowledge or animal or particular thing in time or place, but beauty absolute, separate, simple, everlasting--the source and cause of all that perishing beauty of all other things."
When this scheme is Christianized by equating this ultimate beauty with the Divine Beauty of God, the Renaissance Platonic lover can move in stages through the desire for his mistress, whose beauty he recognizes as an emanation of God's, to the worship of the Divine itself.
This complex doctrine of love which embraces sexuality (the mystical union of souls, cf. Donne's "The Canonization") but which is directed to an ideal end (discussed in Plato's Symposium) is particularly evident in Donne. (But we see it in poets from Sidney to Lawrence).
Platonic love has also come to mean a love between individuals which transcends sexual desire and attains spiritual heights (for examples, see some of the courtly romances like Tennyson's Idylls of the King), as well as homosexual love (see Forster's Maurice), derived from the praise of homosexual love in The Symposium.
The Metaphysicals were out of critical favor for the 18th and 19th centuries (obviously, the Romantic poets found little in this heavily intellectualized poetry). At the end of the 19th century and in the beginning of the 20th century, interest in this group picked up, and especially important was T.S. Eliot's famous essay "The Metaphysical Poets" (1921). Interest peaked this century with the New Critics school around mid-century, and now is tempering off a bit, though Donne, the original "Big Name" is being superceded now by interest in George Herbert, who's religious seeking and questioning seems to be hitting a critical nerve.

A Florida township used as the set of an acerbic Hollywood movie has inspired an Auckland developer who is building hundreds of houses in Taupo and Orewa.
Patrick Fontein has returned from visiting 26 United States master-planned residential communities with ideas for his 35.5ha land holdings at the two locations.
A series of garden parks amid the houses, communal areas where the public is invited to weekly concerts and neo-classical house designs are some of the ideas he has brought back.
Fontein, the managing director of Kensington Properties, which has developed large office parks and luxury housing in Auckland, is about to start projects worth a total of around $500 million.
Hundreds of houses will be built on one site at Orewa (north of Auckland) and another at Taupo. Fontein is developing the two huge plots simultaneously in a scheme which will be one of the country's largest housing programmes.
Before plans were completed, he hunted through the US to find the best master-planned housing estates and examine the feasibility of bringing the best aspects of those estates here.
Of the sites he visited in Los Angeles, Florida, Colorado and Oregon, the resort community of Seaside on the Florida panhandle interested him the most.
"There was an almost unbelievable commitment to creating community at Seaside," Fontein said, "and the entry price to buy a house there is now more than US$1 million [$1.64 million]. Waterfront houses sell for more than US$5 million."
At first sections at Seaside sold for around US$15,000. Price rises there have averaged 26 per cent annually in the past 25 years.
Fontein is not the only one to find the Seaside look almost too good to be true. The Hollywood movie The Truman Show was filmed in the town, which some people have criticised as being overly rigid, resulting in conformity of style rather than creativity.
Critics say Seaside is a manufactured fantasy, lacking socio-economic diversity, an ironic barb given that the town was modelled on the diverse urban neighbourhoods of large cities such as New York and San Francisco.
But Fontein and Glen White, Kensington's head of design who also toured the US, were more entranced by Seaside than most of the other communities and met its founder, Robert Davis, who began developing the resort site more than 20 years ago.
Now, Fontein and White are using Seaside's neo-Victorian style of architecture and the town's street layout as inspiration for the Orewa development on the site of the former Puriri Park Holiday Resort.
Fontein paid $30 million to $40 million to secure the camping ground on Orewa's northern outskirts.
Seaside's houses with balconies facing the street to encourage resident interaction and reduce crime, garages tucked around the back of houses to reduce their dominance, narrow streets to encourage walking, extensive landscaping and parks dotted through the housing scheme to soften appearances were all features that appealed to them.
Fontein said New Zealand had few good master-planned communities and cited Millbrook near Queenstown as one of the successful examples.
Plans for the layout of the Taupo site - which encompasses Huka Village Resort with a conference centre - were also influenced by Seaside, although Fontein said the style of architecture at Taupo would be different from Orewa.
Fontein bought the 14ha resort site in October and last month bought an adjoining site to give him the 20ha area. The resort has a conference centre for 190 delegates, 33 separate villa residences, two restaurants and a vineyard.
The Taupo and Orewa sites will take years to develop but Fontein said he wanted to set a new benchmark for housing communities.
"Developers cannot cheat with master-planned communities. If they cheat, they hurt themselves."
Developers who built poor-quality first-stage houses had problems selling stock they subsequently built, he said.
"Satisfied buyers or residents are your best advocates for later stages."
Pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, amenities within short walking distance, interlinking walkways, reduction of car traffic compared with traditional subdivisions and emphasis on good urban design were all features of excellence in master-planned communities, he said.
Property values went up if the estates had community amenities such as cafes, convenience shops, parks and walkways.
Some of the best US planned housing estates had public areas where public concerts were held on Friday evenings to bring a sense of community to the area. He plans to investigate this idea for Orewa and Taupo.
Fontein won the Property Institute's supreme award last month for his contribution to the industry and is on Auckland City's urban design panel.

On the Design of Some Feedback Circuits for Loudspeakers
Some basic relationships of feedback systems are reviewed. In particular, attention is paid to an optimum choice of controller. The general optimization technique of Kessler is described and applied to control systems with only one dominant time constant. It is shown that this general procedure can also be used for a loudspeaker system. An equivalent control circuit for a loudspeaker is derived, and the state-variable feedback design may be applied. A practical loudspeaker feedback system is described. Attention is paid to the general concept of this system and to the Kessler optimization technique. The circuits used in this system, the system design, the measurements, and the results are discussed.

Favorite crowd observation: Watching a stern security guard, arms folded, grimace on his face, bobbing his head ever so subtly to New Kids on the Block. »Read Full Article(16)

Critical Rating: AA 1/2

What starts out with a promising bang, soon settles into mediocrity for the rest of the vid.
The aforementioned high point is the opening face-off between Ashley Renee and Chandler, who infuse the scene with a nasty, high energy as they plunder each other's orifices.
The remaining four scenes, unfortunately, seem to play out on somnambulistic auto-pilot. Especially wasted are the talents of super sluts Sabrina Johnson, Nikki Brantz and Tricia Devereaux, who are capable of so much more.

Whether your student is entering Kindergartenor their Senior year of High School,help them SET UP FOR SUCCESS!By Tracy Lamperti, LMHC, BCETSLamperti Counseling & ConsultationI trust that if you make a sincere effort toward helping your child make a strategy to have a successful year that your "last-year C student" will be a "this-year B student." Your job is to coach your child to be a successful student. You do not have to accept mediocre school performance, nor do you have to watch over them and do a lot of yelling, screaming and pleading for them to do what they are supposed to do.Have the students in your care fill out this questionnaire, followed by an appointment with you to go over it. Motivate…Keep it positive…Be a problem solver and help them be a problem solver…enthusiastically look forward to the 6 week review date and even more enthusiastically, to that first report card!
Likewise, a 15 year old can come home from school, play 45 minutes of Grand Theft Auto (if you allow that kind of thing), and then sit down and do their Algebra homework. You dont tell them. They do it because its their responsibility.
A 5 year old and a 15 year old can wake up to their favorite song on their "i" device. Your job is to make sure they are emerging from their room to a peaceful and pleasant environment, there is hot water for their shower and food to nourish them for their morning.
I am working with 8, 9, 10, …16 year olds who have to be pleaded with to take a shower, brush their teeth, put their dirty clothes in the laundry basket… If this describes your child, pick one area and monitor them while they monitor themselves for 21 days, the number of days it takes to form a new habit. Please contact me if you need help setting this up. Its a crisis call for age 18 when your child graduates high school and has no clue how to move out of your house.

I am getting ready to implement a ratings plugin on my site and from all I have read this is the best plugin to use. However, it seems like the developer has just dropped the project. All links to the site from the WP Plugin page are broken, a new version was supposed be launched months ago but nothing, and in general the developer site is a disaster.
My fear is putting in tons of work to figure this thing out and then have it no longer be supported. If the developer is out there, and still breathing, can you please let us know what is going on? Why are all the links on the Plugin page dead? (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/) They just go to a 404 not found. Looks like a great plugin but I don't have alot of confidence in its future right now. Thanks!

I've been doing weddings since I was ordained in 1991. I have always believed that equality would happen, not soon enough for my partner and I. I'm a widower now, and although I have done some Holy Unions, I have never had the opportunity to legally marry a GLBTQ couple. I hope that by being part of this forum, I will encounter the opportunity to officiate a GLBTQ wedding. I tend to be low key in the planning stage of the wedding, and very professional at the rehearsal (when there is one) and at the wedding.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The state Tourism Department is spending
$1.9 million on a project to repair and renovate decades-old cabins
at Oklahoma's state parks.
The renovation project is in its final phase on the cabins, built during the Depression in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The project encompasses 180 cabins at seven state parks -- Beavers Bend, Great Salt Plains, Boiling Springs, Roman Nose, Keystone, Tenkiller and Lake Murray.
Earlier this month, the state Tourism Commission approved spending $996,800 to upgrade furnishings at 56 cabins in Lake Murray State Park in far southern Oklahoma.
Hardy Watkins, the commission's executive director, says those renovations should be done by the end of 2009.
Some of the furniture in the cabins is almost 25 years old.
Those items will be replaced with LCD televisions, energy efficient appliances, ceiling fans and wood furniture.

2008 Ford Fusion SEL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
I bought this car because I got to a choice between an Accord or the Fusion. The Fusion won because it was more economic and had better trunk space. The first day I loaded it with tons of stuff and that was amazing. My kids loved the back seat as well.
Large trunk. It has get up and go when needed.
Already done on the 2010.
2008 Ford Fusion SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
Bought a dealer demo with 4000 miles on the odometer almost one year ago, and have no regrets. We were looking for a mid-size sedan that could accomodate five adults and their luggage comfortably and that would handle well on snowy and icy roads. The 2008 Fusion fits the bill. Ride is smooth and quiet. Handling is effortless. Very responsive brakes. Took the car out a month ago after a monster snowstorm (18"), and the car absolutely refused to slide around (NB: my Fusion came with Continental all-weather tires). Many other drivers got stuck on the back roads, but the Fusion kept on going. High back limits rear view a bit. Only getting 22 mpg, but we live in a city.
Roomy trunk, ABS, MPG and "miles-to- empty" options on the odometer
reduce blind spots in back and driver side, improve fuel economy
2008 Ford Fusion SEL 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
I love everything about the car but the leaky sunroof that Ford can't seem to fix for the life of them. My car has been in the shop 4 times (soon to be the 5th) for the same leak that comes through the the over head console.
heated seats, sync
sunroof reconstruction
2008 Ford Fusion SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
My V6 SE replaced a 05 Ford Taurus, which replaced a 03 Ford Taurus. This is light years from Taurus in dynamics for handleing and ride control. Also for compairson, a Steller step from what I had with a 98 Ford Contour Sport. I drive this car hard and can only list dealer unable to balance new replacment tires ( same brand and size as stock ) as the only fault in 23 months and 60,500 miles...Quite a car and worth a look over a Camry or Accord
Power is much more than many expect, you can suprize folks at a stoplight or in the passenger seat.
Looking at the 2010 models, all the suggestions I could have given Ford look like they already knew about
I typically bought Audi's, Bmw's, VW's, I haven't bought a US car for quite a few years. I test drived a couple of US cars and decieded to by this Fusion. I now have had it for 2 months and I am still impressed with it. I like the looks, the power, and the options it has. It handles very good. Even in the snow. Ford makes a nice car in the fusion. I would recommend it to anyone.
Style, Performance, Nice Wheels, Stereo, Handeling, Climate control, cup holders are in nice places. I love the 6 speed transmittion.
My main complains is fuel milage, you would think with a 6 speed auto, the mileage would be better. I also feel the road noise could be improved. There should be more insulation in the floors, and doors. The rear seating area needs heat. Lastly, the front seats need to be total power.

I have been a vegetarian for 5 years now, and I just currently completed my first sprint triathlon. I am 19 years old, and I ran cross country all 4 years in high school so I've always enjoyed running. I am going to run in the ING 2011 Miami Marathon in January as well. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how many calories a women that is 115 pounds and training for a marathon ( and I also plan on doing a duathlon and another tri in September) should intake daily. And maybe some sample meals that are good for vegetarian runners??
I'm a women with a lot of will power. I have a list of many things I want to accomplish and I will let nothing stand in my way of getting them done =]

I've tried calling the below:

Any help would be appreciated.

I spent last night commiserating with my friend Denny Boynton and a couple of Computer Science students who are attending the Mix conference in Las Vegas. The discussion eventually came around to a critical evaluation of computer science curriculum available to students in our colleges and universities. The conclusion we came to is that we're just not paying enough attention to instilling good software engineering principles in our future developers.
Most students aspiring to have a career in software development are going to end up slugging line of business code for their employer some day. A few others will be the developers of our future operating systems, compilers and server software. Why is it then that we teach them all the same way? You might argue that the average student doesn't know where they will end up post-graduation and that we should take the opportunity to create well-rounded students who have a depth of knowledge about low level computing semantics as well as high level languages and abstract design concepts.
I believe the problem with that logic is we're missing the boat on instilling good software engineering practices in our future developers before they get into the bad habits most of us in the field have struggled to overcome. Kids coming out of school today study compiler theory and operating systems. They know how to create a database schema and they might even have some experience writing PHP code or building RIA's with Flash. What they are lacking is the knowledge they need to to apply patterns to their work or to create new patterns for others to apply. They don't think about bullet-proofing their systems before they start writing business logic. These are skills that they learn on the job – mostly through trial and error. I'm pretty sure that I don't want the developers at my bank figuring it out as they go.
There are a million ways to solve this problem and I wrote this post more for awareness than anything else. This is probably the most ignored issue in our industry and it's something we as the stewards of the craft need to start discussing.

Has Japan killed the Kyoto Protocol? Does it matter?
Japan announced last week that it would not sign on for a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol after the first period expires in 2012 unless China and the U.S. join the agreement. Environmentalists and developing countries condemn the Japanese but can we really blame them? Andrew Light, CAP's Coordinator of International Climate Policy, reports live from Cancun.
CANCUN – The UN climate summit here has been consumed this past week over Japan's announcement at one of the earlier plenary sessions that they would not renew their emission reduction pledges under the Kyoto Protocol once the first commitment period expires in 2012. While no one should celebrate the potential demise of the world's only climate treaty with binding emission cuts the reasoning of the Japanese leadership on this issue is practically unassailable.
What's more, by taking this position Japan may also help to settle an issue that has been haunting these talks for a decade – the standoff between those who want to hold onto the protocol's crude division of the world between developed and developing countries and those who want to move to a framework which may be more in line with the realty of solving the problem.
The buzz over Japan's announcement in the halls at the Moon Palace, here in Cancun, where negotiators from 194 countries have gathered for the sixteenth meeting of the "Conference of the Parties" of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (or COP), started shortly after a plenary session on Monday and continues to reverberate in press conferences and side events. In an announcement that originated in a ministerial level meeting in Tokyo, Japanese negotiators reiterated a position they have been making for a year now: They will not sign onto a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, setting new and more ambitious targets for binding emission reductions among the parties of that treaty beyond 2012.
The first commitment period of the Protocol binds 37 developed nations and the European community to cut emissions from 1990 levels by a collective 5.2 percent by 2012. The understanding reached in Kyoto was that this first commitment period would be temporary, as a matter of design, only beginning the process of reducing emissions under a legally binding agreement and implementing various programs that could make a global system of emission reductions workable such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which allows for a system of offsets.
The expectation has been that parties to the protocol would eventually agree on a second commitment period after 2012, which would set more ambitious targets for reducing emissions consistent with the goals outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and other scientific bodies, for achieving some measure of climate safety such as stabilizing temperature increase caused by greenhouse gas emissions at 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. Unfortunately, the fact that the world's second largest emitter and largest per-capita emitter, the United States, famously never ratified the Kyoto Protocol – the key ideas underlying the Protocol were rejected by the U.S. Senate in 1997 by a vote of 95-0 – and that it does not require emission reductions from developing countries including the biggest emitters like China and India, calls into question whether the Protocol by itself could ever assure climate safety going forward.
The Japanese reasoning is based squarely on this key problem with the protocol: Why should they sign onto a second period of binding reductions for an agreement that can never hope to achieve meaningful carbon reductions when it does not include the U.S. and China? A press release circulated by the Japanese government added up the cold but convincing numbers: ". . . the total emissions of energy-related CO2 from the countries undertaking obligations to reduce emissions under the Protocol account for only about 27 percent of the global emissions in 2008, which dropped down from 42 percent in 1990. Thus, it is not effective as regards to emission reduction obligation or the scale of emissions to be reduced."
In contrast, Hideki Minamikawa, vice minister for global environment in the Japanese environment ministry, noted that the parties aligned to the Copenhagen Accord – the non-binding political agreement delivered in the 11th hour at the UN climate summit last year in Denmark – represented 80 percent of global emissions. While some have suggested that the Kyoto Protocol should continue to a second commitment period and be tied to a new agreement based on the Copenhagen Accord, Minamikawa made it clear in an interview with The Guardian that his government did not support such a potentially cumbersome architecture: "We want a single binding treaty," he said.
Some will conclude that Japan's decision on the protocol is simply a ploy to shirk their responsibilities on carbon mitigation and assistance with adaptation in poorer countries. After all, the worry many have is that if Japan does not renew the Protocol then other parties will follow, and given the implementation rules of the treaty, without a sufficient number of parties it would not continue as a vehicle for binding emission cuts in the future.
But Japan's pledges and actions to date point to a different conclusion. Japan's commitment under the Copenhagen Accord is to cut emissions 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, a target which is more stringent than Europe's current goal. And of the fast-start financing announced in Copenhagen last year, for developing countries to provide $30 billion to developing countries by 2012 for adaptation and mitigation, Japan has pledged $15 billion and already implemented $7.23 billion as of the end of September. In comparison, the U.S. delivered $1.7 billion in 2010 and is scheduled to deliver approximately $4 billion by the end of the fast start period. Indeed, it is difficult to see how developed countries could meet the fast-start goal without Japanese assistance. Nor does it appear that the Japanese want to kill off emission trading and offset programs under the Kyoto Protocol. Later this week, Japanese officials will discuss their planned scheme for bi-lateral offset programs designed in part to keep retain the qualified successes of the CDM.
Reaction from other Kyoto signatories has been mixed. Not surprisingly, the Canadians, who have long since given up on meeting their reductions under the Kyoto Protocol, have endorsed this move. Bill Rodgers, a spokesman for Canadian Environment Minister John Baird, concurred on Saturday that the Protocol was indeed ineffective because it does not include the top two carbon polluters. Peter Wittoeck, a spokesperson for the European Union made it clear that while the EU was resolutely undecided on extending the protocol for a second commitment period with a new set of emission reduction targets the Japanese calculations were correct: "if it is only the EU that is under such a commitment without the rest of the world "¦ [then] that would not be a solution for the global climate problem." In contrast Bernarditas Muller of the Philipines, a spokesman for the G77, the group of more than a hundred developing countries who often negotiate as a block in these talks, condemned Japan's announcement: "We don't want to kill the Kyoto Protocol, so we're not very happy about it."
China and the United States, in some respects the real targets of ire in this development as neither will ever consent to being bound by the Kyoto Protocol, predictably divided on the issue though they were worried about the same thing — the impact that Japan's decision could have on achieving some kind of successful outcome at this conference.
Su Wei, China's chief negotiator, joined the G77 in criticizing Japan's pointed announcement suggesting ominously a failure to extend the Kyoto Protocol "is one of the crucial issues concerning the success of the Cancun conference." U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern was worried about a fallout effect of Japan's decision as well, pointing to its potential impact on the parallel track of negotiations in this process known as the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long Term Cooperative Action (or "LCA"), which has been struggling for three years to create text for a new climate agreement which could either compliment or replace the protocol. The LCA track is currently the only official place in the negotiations where elements of the Copenhagen Accord could be enshrined in a legally binding agreement. According to Stern it would be "very unfortunate to lose the progress" that could be reached on that track due to this debate.
Reactions from NGOs and the environmental community were almost universally critical but also striking in their predictions of dire consequences based largely on exaggerated assessments of the Protocol's effectiveness.
Mohamed Adow, senior climate change advisor of Christian Aid, was reported as claiming that Japan's decision "puts the global climate architecture at risk . . . and violates Japan's legally binding commitment, turns its back on science, and disrespects the people most vulnerable to climate change." Sivan Kartha, a senior scientist at the Stockholm Environment Institute, argued that Japan's actions, risking the collapse of the Kyoto Protocol, "would leave us with no guarantee that emissions will be reduced."
But as a point of fact neither Japan, nor any other party, are bound to sign on to a second commitment period under the Protocol beyond 2012 but rather only to meet their reduction commitments in the first period. And given the basis of their decision – that the current parties in the Protocol cannot hope to set a target for emission reductions in the second commitment period high enough to compensate for the lack of a similar commitment from the world's two largest emitters – the Japanese are both consistent with hard physics of the matter. The fact is that the Kyoto Protocol can't guarantee that emissions are reduced sufficiently to protect anyone including the most vulnerable.
The reasonable worry about Japan's actions however is that in moving away from a second commitment period for the protocol would signal a move from developed countries away from a system of binding emissions cuts to one of voluntary measures only. Reacting to Japan's decision, Martin Khor, director of South Centre, put it this way: "Some developed countries want a voluntary system of pledges, which are not legally binding. We are at a major crossroads, with the future of the climate negotiations at stake."
The specter here is the emergence of a framework of mere "pledge and review" or "shame and blame" whereby parties are not bound to emission reductions, nor potentially penalized if they fail to meet them, but only committed to the national actions they are willing to take without any international oversight. It is noteworthy that this is also the mistaken fear that many came to after the Copenhagen climate summit last year ended in the creation of a political accord that does not bind parties to reducing emissions but only asks them to inscribe their voluntary measures in a pledge under the accord. What many fail to recognize though is that from the beginning the Copenhagen Accord was designed to be the first step in a two step process which would conclude with a legally binding treaty to finish the skeletal political agreement which was achieved last year.
Similarly, what critics of the Japanese position fail to acknowledge, or simply do not believe, is Japan's insistence that they are not opposed to a second commitment period of the protocol because they have some problem with binding emission cuts but rather because they do not see the current agreement as either fair or effective. The Japanese claim that they also want to see a next step for a more ambitious agreement like the Copenhagen Accord – ambitious in terms of the number of parties willing to make commitments to it of some sort – and they want it to be legally binding. Again from the government's official press release: "The ultimate aim is early adoption of a new single legally-binding instrument that establishes a fair and effective international framework with the participation of all major emitters based on the Copenhagen Accord."
Given Japan's delivery to date on its emission reductions under the Protocol, and its willingness to take on fully half of the $30 billion fast-start financing pledge from Copenhagen by itself, the real issue among their critics may not be their commitment to a legally binding treaty but rather to the kind of legally binding treaty the Japanese are signaling they want with this decision.
Ever since the United States rejected the Kyoto Protocol (in part because it divided the world between developed countries, who were required to make mandatory emission cuts, and developing countries, who were not required to reduce their emissions regardless of their emission profile), various parties have been sharply divided over whether it was possible to forge a new kind of climate agreement. On the one hand were countries such as the U.S. who insisted that the Kyoto architecture was unfair to their economic interests given that their biggest competitors like China and India were not bound by such an agreement to bear any costs associated with emission reductions. On the other hand were the bulk of developing countries who argue that they should not be required to reduce their emissions given that the current accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing this problem were emitted by developed countries and that their development needs outweighed emission reductions for the present time.
But in between these two positions is the physical reality that the Japanese have now publicly recognized: We cannot hope to achieve any measure of climate safety without emission reductions from the largest polluters, both developed and developing countries. This doesn't mean that small and impoverished nations ought to be bound to emission reductions but rather that the problem cannot be solved without cuts from major emerging economies like China, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Mexico, and Brazil.
In this light one of the positive developments at Copenhagen was the emergence of an alliance of these parties (the so-called "BASIC" group) with the United States, the EU and other developed nations which produced the Copenhagen Accord. While this new division – between major carbon polluters and everyone else – is more the alignment needed to solve the problem, it is not yet one that the rest of the developing world feels comfortable with insofar as they fear that it could lead to increased expectations for emission reduction from developing countries.
This week we can see this in the strident and threatening pronouncements of the ALBA countries, or the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (which joins together Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela and others in an anti-Capitalist alliance) who, according to The Hindu, are "demanding a firm commitment from developed nations to the second phase of the Kyoto protocol, putting pressure on the main polluters." Unfortunately in the consensus process which governs these meetings, where all 194 parties have a veto on any political or legal agreement, this could spell trouble for the only possible progress expected from these meetings, a "balanced package," as it is now referred to, of decisions on the building blocks of a climate agreement such as forestry, technology transfer, black carbon, and climate finance infrastructure. According to Claudia Salerno, the Venezuelan negotiator, "If there is no second period of commitment, it would be very difficult to have balanced package in this negotiations." If this happens then we will see a repeat of the Copenhagen outcome where the ALBA countries blocked the final binding agreement on the Copenhagen Accord.
While negotiators are working without rest to ensure that we do not see the same outcome at this meeting we can only hope that cooler heads prevail. Fundamentally though, if the Japanese decision does effectively end the Kyoto Protocol as a mechanism for reducing emissions it does not mean that we are on a slippery slope to seeing rich countries demanding emission cuts from poor countries. What the Japanese decision may instead mean is that we will finally be free to stop talking about the future of the Kyoto Protocol and move on to discussing an agreement that might actually get the job done.

6 Responses to Has Japan killed the Kyoto Protocol? Does it matter?
OT but…
The CNN headline:
Global warming? Cool!, climatologist says
…or not!
This article seems to ignore the diplomatic realities behind the two UNFCCC tracks and the importance of a new Kyoto commitment period to this diplomacy.
[JR: It doesn't ignore them. It just explained why they won't insure climate safety.]
Excellent article and thank you for putting this up Joe. Couple of points I have to mention.
I think Japan is actually doing the world a favor by saying it will let them expire – having the illusion that some agreement exists that will protect us from global warming when it isn't and it won't, only serves to delay actual progress on climate change. The accords give an illusion that "our governments are doing something", when they're not – which is extremely dangerous (and probably why the US has a bee in their bonnet about the extension issue since they obviously want to be seen as doing something…when they're not). There has been a resurgence in coal power plant construction in the US and other countries while these accords have been in effect (including in Japan and Germany) and on and on and on, nuff said.
The United States is truly the king of hypocrites dissing on Japan about not extending Kyoto – the US weakened Kyoto itself during original negotiations and then of course, didn't participate. The ongoing US behavior with regard to climate change and world emissions reductions has been and continues to be abominable.
The ALBA countries blocked the Copenhagen Acoord last year?
It wasn't China?
Get past the monolithic "Japan" idea and look at the business and bureaucratic politics that animated this dissing of Kyoto. The "regime change" in Japanese politics last August has failed almost as badly as Obama's, because of timidity and vested interests. On energy and climate policy, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI, the myopic successor of the once-innovative MITI) has managed to overcome efforts to take policymaking out of the palsied hands of incumbent parasites. Reflecting the monopolized utilities' and carbon-intensive manufacturers' interests, the METI don't want any targets of substance, and were keen to gut Kyoto as well as the Democratic Party's aim to cut emissions by 25% by 2020 (versus 1990 levels). The METI and Co have thus held back Japan's RPS to a laughable 1.63% by 2014, have hamstrung the feed-in tariff, and (like your "Yes We Can (Do Worse)" regime over there) are seeking to wreck the International Renewable Energy Agency (eg, the METI sent their nuke people).
Kyoto had lots of problems, mainly because it put the cart before the horse. As the recently deceased Hermann Scheer argued, we should have been using feed-in tariffs and other smart policies to accelerate the move to low-cost, green power and then get strong and international targets for cuts. Like METI, we keep arguing about costly transitions and SF-style tech advances (METI likes solar panels in space) when we have a revolution underway already. Sustainable energy is not expensive. It is in fact cheaper than conventional power, and becoming cheaper at an accelerating pace. Look at Germany, where they produce 16 percent of their power through renewables backed up by feed-in tariffs, and are saving money as well as building a new industry.
If the METI in Japan were trashing Kyoto while emphasizing sustainability, they'd have some credibility. But they are trapped in a 20th century paradigm of power and cost-benefit analyses. Keep in mind that these are the very same people who had a big hand in losing 20 years of growth in a country that now confronts yet another recession and another "ice age" in job prospects for next year's university graduates.
Excellent and largely unemotional article, making it far more convincing. For example it says 'the key ideas underlying the Protocol were rejected by the U.S. Senate in 1997 by a vote of 95-0', which is correct, rather than more emotive interpretations of the US non-signing. No President could have signed it.
Andrew dW – your hope that Germany is saving money and building a new industry is wrong on the first fact (c. E200 per household per annum for solar alone on electricity bills), and the second hope I fear will not work.
The Germans reckon there were 65,000 solar related German jobs in 2009 in production, distribution and installation. Given 37 million households, and using Merrill Lynch's estimate of E200 each per annum, that means each job costs E114,000 per annum.
It will be interesting to see how many of those jobs remain in a couple of years given that China continues to undercut Germany in production and manufacturing – I suspect a fraction (other than solar farm maintenance). But the E114,000 per job per annum remains payable by households. And Germany is 50% of the world market for solar, so they have largely created an industry for themselves, which will largely disappear when they stop FiTs.

Personalities from Country Legends 106.9 will be broadcasting from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day from the North Topeka Walmart.
Northeast Kansans are invited to tune in to hear the stories of how the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals program at St. Francis Health continues to provide hope and healing to sick and injured children and their families.
Donations are being accepted at any Topeka Walmart. Children are especially encouraged to bring spare change to those locations to drop in Coinstar machines to be donated to CMN.
Last year's radiothon raised more than $100,000, and the event has brought in nearly $600,000 since it began. This year's fundraising total will be announced at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Struggle going to work

I see it has been a while since you posted but I know how you feel. I had to quit taking Stratera and ended up quitting my job because I just couldn't concentrate. I thought I would regret it but the time off has been nice. The only thing is finding multiple projects for my active mind to stay entertained. So far I am making a blanket for my son who's due in two months, one for my sisters baby who's due in 7 months, bought myself two frogs to take care of, cooking, and various crafts. Visiting my family in town also helps. I have to set alarms on my phone to make sure I take my iron pills and prenatals each day.
I would say maybe you should ask for a week off and see how you function. If you can stand the time off and you can afford not to work (does your DH/SO have a job that can support you?) then leave your job. If you struggle with the time off and get bored, then I would say just take it part time and see how you feel. Taking the time off might help you decide.
