Climate Finance
Stabilizing the global climate is one of the most urgent challenges in coming decades. Our warming world affects all people and ecosystems, particularly the poor who already suffer disproportionately from climate-change impacts.
Global Investment for a Resilient Low-Carbon Economy
Major financial investments – from both public and private sources and guided by smart and equitable policies – are required to transition the world's economy to a low-carbon path, reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to safe levels, and build the resilience of vulnerable countries to climate change.
WRI is addressing how these massive investments toward a low-carbon and resilient economy – which we refer to as climate finance –can be realized.
In developing countries, climate change investment needs are significant. Direct government funding is scarce. And the billions of dollars committed to be marshaled by industrialized countries remain inadequate to the magnitude of the challenge of stabilizing a steep trajectory of greenhouse gases. Additional financial investment should be accompanied by rules, regulations, fiscal incentives and effective markets at international, national, and sub-national levels to shift current and projected "business-as-usual" investments, and mobilize resources at the scale required.
Facts and Figures: The Scale of Needed Investment
- The World Economic Forum projects that by 2020, about $5.7 trillion will need to be invested annually in green infrastructure, much of which will be in today's developing world.
- This will require shifting the world's $5 trillion in business-as-usual investments into green investments, as well as mobilizing an additional $700 billion to ensure this shift actually happens.
- The Climate Policy Initiative estimates that we are currently at roughly $360 billion annually in public and private climate investments, with developed country governments providing somewhere between $10-20 billion per year, according to their fast-start finance reports and OECD estimates.
- When you consider these figures, the $100 billion annual goal that is usually referenced is only a small piece of the $5.7 trillion puzzle. Both public and private levels of funding need sustained growth to ensure that we get on a pathway to meeting investment needs in 2020 and beyond.
WRI's Vision of Success
Public and private actors—development financing institutions, governments, and private sector investors, including financiers and project developers—significantly shift and scale-up their investments in sustainable, low-carbon and climate-resilient development. These investments will create new markets, address long-term opportunities and risks arising from climate change, promote wider socio-economic benefits, and minimize social and environmental harm.

by Punchy » Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:15 amDamaged #1(of 6) - Untitled - Lapham and Manco
Story - We all know Hollywood has gone down the tubes lately, and it's impossible for pretty much anyone to get an original story off the ground. Even legends like Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg have been forced to do adaptations of other stories or revisit classic movies. This has lead to many movie-makers to head on over to comics, where original ideas are (contrary to popular belief) more welcomed. The hope is that lazy movie producers who balked at the original pitch, will see that the story has worked and been read in the world of comics, and then adapt it. It's a strange system, but has worked on occasion.
Damaged #1 is another example of this phenomenon, as Avatar and Clash Of The Titans star Sam Worthington is given the strange title of 'executive producer'. I'm not sure what ol' JakeSuly actually did for this book, but it doesn't matter. The Hollywood people behind Damaged made the wise decision to get great creators in Dave Lapham and Leonard Manco to create their story, and it's a move that paid off.
This is a crime book, but it's not like many of the other Crime Comics we've had lately, which are very noir and fairly understated in their own way, more concerned with character than anything else. Damaged is primarily a big wide-screen Action crime-thriller. The opening sequence where a mysterious bad-ass guns down a whole bar full of rednecks is gleefully over the top and a lot of fun.
The main thrust of the story involves two brothers, one of whom is a high-ranking cop who is slowly being ushered out the door due to political reasons, and the other who is a Frank Castle-esque vigilante with his own vicious brand of justice. There's also a young cop who is replacing the aforementioned brother. Lapham does a good job at doling the back-story in slow drips, so throughout the issue you're wondering what exactly it is that haunts Frank and what the hell the opening scene has to do with San Francisco crime.
The political element of the story is a little undercooked, and hardly The Wire, but I think Lapham has more to say about it in the upcoming issues.
Overall, this issue was decent, and it is a lot like a Hollywood movie. It has lots of stuff going on, and a lot of flash, but there's not as much substance as other modern crime comics like Criminal or Scalped. In an age when most crime comics are similar to HBO dramas, this is a blockbuster, and it has all the good and bad elements of it. If you like Lapham, you should check this out, it's Dave in a less-insane mode, but still strong. Everyone else... you may as well wait for the movie. But who else to cast apart from Sam Worthington?
Art - I always enjoy Leo Manco's art when it pops up in a Marvel or DC book and was a big fan of his work on Hellblazer a few years ago. His art here is his usual strong work, but is given a bit of a different feel due to the colouring techniques used here, which are more computery than at Vertigo. It gives his work a more photo-realistic look, which really fits this comic.
Best Line - 'I'm back, Big Brother, and it's time we do things my way'
by Royal Nonesuch » Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:12 pmInitially, this felt like a warmed-over Punisher book, and it still does even after all the revelations of this story, but I liked the latent expectation set up by the prologue, and how Henry's return to San Francisco was treated almost like an oncoming storm. Placing young Jack Cassidy in between Henry and Frank works pretty well, and although the book does feel like a movie script, even with the cliché advice-spewing diner waitress, it's a pleasing book. This isn't the best issue David Lapham or Leonardo Manco have ever worked on, but they're still two of the best guys to get for an action/crime drama.

by SilverPhoenix » Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:25 amDamaged #1
The Breakdown
When you really sit down and think about, you realize how inevitable it was for someone to make a story where Die-Hard meets the Punisher. With the lethal force usually required to neutralize the threats in said movie series, using a Punisher like vigilante to save the day is the story that Damaged #1 set out to tell. As such, what you see is what you get, as this issue definitely feels like it takes its cues from the recent Punisher #1 starting off with a high bodycount. However, unlike Punisher #1 which leaves you with very little beyond that, "Damaged" goes deeper into the characters, the motivations and the world that surrounds them. From doing this, the dynamic that's created is one that has potential to go beyond the obvious "brainless action movie" that this was geared for and produce a story that has some meat to it. It'll all be a matter of whether the creators balance the needs of "Balls to the wall" action vs. having a more nuanced story than most works of this nature. Let's keep hoping that the balance can be served.
Final Judgment: 7.25
(Sorry if this review is not up to my usual standards, but between Health Issues and the Earthquake, this is what came up this week. I'll do better for Ultimates)

GnomeyNewt needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 149 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
Thanks for taking the time to read about our contest. This is the 3rd contest I have held and the results have always been fantastic, so I am looking forward to seeing what you creative genesis can come up with again. This contents will be for a logo for an upcoming hosting company by the name of RhinoSurge.com, please see the design brief for more information.
This logo will be for an upcoming hosting company. The logo will need to project a professional image and we do want to have a rhino in it! The Rhino can be vectorized rhino, real image of a rhino, or even a cartoon rhino possibly in the charging or running position. We do not want him to be using a computer in anyway or doing anything human like. We definitely want him to be just a rhino who is being a rhino :c). We are very open to ideas on the color scheme, however we are aiming more for earth friendly tone sort of like the colors you would see on a Safari.
Requirements for logo:
- The logo should be in vector format, with output of .png and .gif
- The logos suggested colors are Dark Green, Yellow/Gold, and some Brown (mostly accent).
- The logo should contain the text 'RhinoSurge.com' OR 'RhinoSurge'.
- The logo should contain a image, vector, or cartoon of a rhino being just a rhino.
- The logo should be more long (width) than tall (height).
- The logo should be easy on the eyes.
- The logo should stand out when it is with other logos or images on a page.
- The logo would be nice if it worked on both white and black backgrounds.
Things about us that will help you understand what we like:
- We like simple logos.
- We like funny logos.
- We like logos that have more than one meaning.
- We like logos that look really fresh and clean.
Additional thoughts added after contest started:
- I'd like to see more rhinos facing forward or their head part, sort of like charging forward.
- I think I like the darker green and dark yellow/gold, less browncolors or use brown as an accent color. Or surprise me with a color schemeyou think would work good for a rhino :c).
See requirements above.

This scene was inspired by the very beginning of the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. One of my favorite authors.
"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive..." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas."

St. Marys baseball breaks through in 10-5 win over Celina
ST. MARYS — St. Marys' sputtering offense broke out in a big way against its biggest rival.
St. Marys exploded for a seven-run fourth inning and earned its first win of the season over Celina 10-5 at K.C. Geiger Park on Thursday.
"When you've struggled for a while and one of those hits comes off the bat, it feels really good," St. Marys infielder Mason Gross said after his 3-for-4 night with two runs scored and two runs batted in. "We struggled a couple games this year to put runs up. We've pitched and fielded well enough to win some games, and finally the hitting came through."
"We have been so close so many times," St. Marys head coach Dave Huber said. "This is definitely something for us to build on. We're happy to get that first win....It is a big deal."

St. Marys sent 11 batters to the plate in the fourth. Nathan Wilker led off the rally with an opposite field double sliced into the left field corner. After a flyout to center field, Codie Deaton reached on a throwing error. Gross delivered the Roughriders' first run with an RBI single up the middle to tie the game, 1-1.
"We make an error, we don't catch a pop-up and we should've been out of the inning with maybe one run scored," Celina head coach Drew Braun said. "Instead, we start kicking the ball around, they get a couple of hits and it starts snowballing. All of a sudden they have seven runs. It's all about making plays and right now we're not making plays."
The Roughriders were off and running.
Brandon Coffey rifled a liner through the right side of the infield to plate the second run.
After Dirk Fenwick reached on another Celina error and a strikeout, Nathan Vogel chopped a single through the box to make it 3-1 and keep the bases loaded.
Fitzgerald followed with a towering blast into deep center field for a double that brought home Coffey, Fenwick and Vogel to give St. Marys a 6-1 lead.
"I think that first hit got us going and it didn't stop there," said St. Marys third baseman Isaac Fitzgerald, who was 2-for-4 with those three RBI.
Wilker added his second double of the inning to bring in Fitzgerald and St. Marys led 7-1 through four innings.
Up and down the line-up St. Marys got contributions, as seven of the nine starters scored a run.
Gross was 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. Wilker was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Fitzgerald was 2-for-4 with the bases-clearing three-run double in the fourth inning. Nathan Vogel was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Brandon Coffey had a pair of RBI singles, including a two-out hit in the fourth. Codie Deaton singled and scored a run. His replacement Austin James brought in a run with an RBI groundout.
Fitzgerald said the Roughriders got a pre-game pep talk from former St. Marys baseball coach Bill Cheslock. "We had Cheslock come in and talk to us and he just gave us some motivation," Fitzgerald said.
St. Marys used three pitchers to hold down the Celina offense. Codie Deaton started and worked the first four innings to earn the win. Deaton allowed one run on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks. Austin James threw two innings before Nathan Wilker worked the seventh.
Celina tried to get back in the game with two runs in the fifth and single runs in the sixth and seventh innings, but St. Marys pitching limited the damage and the offense kept adding runs.
"When the opponent scores, you always want to try to answer and that's something we have not been able to do up until this stage," Huber said.
After Celina's Jimmy Luebke hit a two-run double in the fifth, St. Marys responded with Coffey's second RBI single of the game, this time a laser into left field that brought home Gross, who had doubled with one out.
Celina scored a run in the sixth on a wild pitch before the Roughriders got two runs on an RBI groundout by Austin James and an RBI single by Gross.
Arick Fickert scored Celina's fifth run in the seventh after he led off the inning with a double, but Wilker got a groundout to shortstop to end the game and St. Marys celebrated its first regular season and Western Buckeye League win.
In the early going, St. Marys head coach Dave Huber wondered if his team were in for another night of rotten luck with runners in scoring position after St. Marys got runners to second and third with no outs in the second, only to line out and hit two weak grounders to strand the runners.
"We hit balls right at people early and it was the same ol', same ol' but the boys kept plugging and they started falling for us," Huber said.
Celina took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a Jimmy Luebke RBI single.
Celina's Luebke was 3-for-4 with three runs batted in. Kaleb Kuhn went 2-for-3 with a run scored. Fickert was 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a double.

A survey of city marathons revealed that half of the competitors ran only 26 miles in total in a week. That's about 4½ miles a day for six days. They then expect to run reasonably well, 26 miles in one day!
However, there are those who believe it is necessary to run four times the distance in training in one week (104 miles), usually at one pace. Such people who average 7 minutes/mile in their excursions believe that on the day some magic will enable them to run at 6 minutes/mile.
- The marathon is 99 per cent aerobic. This means that all predominantly aerobic running should be exercised: a) Jogging (100%) for recovery b) Target marathon pace (99%) c) Half marathon pace (99%) d) 10k pace (90%) e) 5k pace (80%) f) 3k pace (60%). The percentage of the VO2 max utilised in these speeds in order is: a) 60% b) 70% c) 80% d) 90% e) 95% f) 100%. The difference in speed for each distance is approximately 15 seconds a mile for the experienced and 10 seconds for the novice. Thus, a 2hr 37min 12sec marathoner (6 minutes/mile), would expect to run the half marathon at 5min 45 second/mile, the 10k at 5min 30 second/mile, the 5k at 5min 15 second/mile and the 3k at 5 minute/mile.
- There are two fairly reliable ways of assessing one's potential in the marathon: 1) Five times the 10k time minus 10 minutes. 2) Twice the half marathon time plus 6½ minutes. Thus a 30 mins/10k runner can expect to run 5 x 30mins = 150mins minus 10mins = 140mins (2hr 20min). Women tend to convert their 10k times better than men. This has been investigated and is due to a better reserve of fat which cannot be seen.
- If one's potential works out at 7 minute/mile, that speed must be rehearsed. A major problem with many marathoners is that they run long and slow (22 miles), then short and fast (10 miles), but do not rehearse the target pace. The result is that in the race they are often confused, either running too slow or too fast. The starting point with marathon pace is a third of the distance, about 9 miles, in this example this will be in 63 minutes. When this distance can be comfortably handled, it should be increased by mile increments to two-thirds of the distance (18 miles).
- If the 10k reveals one's potential, that speed must be used in training in order to improve it. Part of the process of improving one's 10k time is to train at 5k and 3k speeds.
- Training at marathon pace, half-marathon pace and 10k pace etc is severe. After such days the body needs to replenish glycogen stores and minerals lost in sweat. Some runners can handle this with a 35 minute slow run following a severe day, others require two days of recovery. It's vitally important to find out how much recovery you require.
- One of the great concerns of all novice marathoners is the question of lasting the distance. Research helps here. Twice the marathon distance in total in a week is considered the minimum to handle the distance, i.e. 52 miles a week. Better is three times the distance – 78 miles a week. However, this fear of the distance can be greatly allayed by running for the same duration as the target time but much slower. This has been referred to as, "time on the legs". If the target time is 3 hours, build up to running for that time even if it's a minute a mile slower.
- All the great physiologists agree that fast aerobic running should last from 3 to 10 minute spells. Thus, a good session at half-marathon speed can be 6 x 10 minutes with 30 second recovery periods. A meaningful 10k session is 6 x 1,600m on the track or miles on the road with 45sec rest after each rep. A good 5k pace work out can be 4 x 1,500m with 60sec rest. And a golden 3k speed session can be 5 x 800m with 90sec rest.
- Replacing fuel in the body before and after training is of major importance. Greater physical output comes from eating moderate sized meals every 4 hours. This might be at 8am, midday, 4pm and 8pm. The most important meal of the day is breakfast.
- The body's main fuel is carbohydrates. There are two types: 1) high glycaemic and 2) low glycaemic. The first causes insulin bursts and glucose is in the bloodstream within 15 minutes of consumption. This is a good thing to take immediately after training when glucose levels are low and includes: glucose drink, honey, bananas and raisins. Low glycaemic carbs do not cause insulin bursts and after digestion the glycogen in them is stored in the liver. Glycogen is not stored all round the clock, it's preferentially stored in the first four hours after training. Foods to be consumed include: drinks containing fructose, soya beans, kidney beans, lentils, sweet potatoes, apples, oranges, whole wheat spaghetti, oats, brown rice, buckwheat pancakes, whole wheat bread. A sound routine is to take 225g (8oz) of glucose polymers via a drink immediately after training. Sip a 5 – 10% carb rehydration drink during training. Take 100g of complex carbs 3 hours before training. A good investment is to buy Enduro Load from a health food or chemist shop.
- Costill discovered from muscle biopsies on marathoners before the Boston Marathon, that many were suffering from miniscule muscle cell damage which was worse after the race. This is no way to start and finish a marathon. The process of tapering does many things. The body, used to mileage, will store glycogen from habit. If the volume is reduced by a third with three weeks to go, and a further third with two weeks left, with only a third of normal training in the final week, a good reserve of glycogen will be built up. The tapering process also improves glycogen storage in the legs and alters the blood status for the better. Research reveals that better performances come from the final week (one-third) being run faster than normal. It's important to conserve glycogen in the race by running the first half at 51 percent of the target time and the next half at 49 per cent. The first mile and 10k must be judged carefully.
- Here is a blue-print schedule for an athlete wishing to run a 3 hour 3min 24sec marathon (7 minute/mile). Times for faster or slower targets can be worked out from the figures given earlier.
- Day 1 – Build up to run for 3 hours at 8 minute/mile (22 miles). Start with 1 hour and add 10 min per cycle.
- Day 2 – 35 min recovery run (5)
- Day 3 – Half-marathon pace – Run 10 miles at 6min 45 second/mile (10)
- Day 4 – 35 min recovery run (5)
- Day 5 – Marathon rehearsal pace – Run 9 miles in 63 min. Add a mile when comfortable up to 18 miles (9 – 18)
- Day 6 – Rest or swim a mile or cycle 16 miles
- Day 7 – 10k pace – Build up to 6 x 1,600m in 6 min 30 sec with 45 sec rest (6)
- Day 8 – 35 min recovery run (5)
- Day 9 – 3k pace – 5 x 800m in 3 min with 90 sec recovery (3)
- Day 10 – 35 min recovery run (5)
- Day 11 – 5k pace – 4 x 1,500m in sub 6minn with 90sec rest (4)
- Day 12 – 35 min recovery run (5)
- Day 13 – Start cycle again
The warm up before the faster sessions has not been included in the brackets, this will add a further 10 miles to the cycle.
The decision to train twice a day needs careful consideration. This should be avoided on Days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 as these days are severe. If another 35 min recovery run is done on days 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12, this should be ten hours after the first run.
The aim with the fast sessions listed is to improve the average times of the reps.
A variable pace work out can be alternated with the 5k session on day 11. This is a golden session which works wonders with fitness levels. The athlete runs 400m at best 5k pace, in this example it's 94 sec. This is immediately followed by 400m at marathon pace, in this case it's 105 sec, the process continues like this (94 – 105) until 10k in total is run (25 laps). Should the pace falter after, say 10 laps, the athlete should walk a lap recovery and start again until the 10k target is reached.

Buell "kids" I grew up with at Rose, Nebraska
The Omaha World Herald Online has an interesting, though short, article about the Shovel Dot Ranch of southern Rock County, Nebraska and its owners, Larry and Homer Buell. Thank you, Carolyn Hall, for pointing out the article.
These guys are neighbor kids I knew in my childhood. The Buells attended a different little country school than we did, but we were all members of the Rose Scouts 4-H Club. The Shovel Dot Ranch had Hereford cattle, and the Hereford 4-H calves exhibited by the Buell kids were always some of the best at the KBR 4-H calf shows.
Larry is my age, and he was in the same grade as me. Homer (or "Skip", as we called him then) was a couple years older. An older brother, Roger, was about the same age as my older brother. Sadly, Roger was killed by lightning as a young man. Their sister Jan was the oldest, a few years older than my brother.
In the article, Homer mentions that solitude is a natural part of the lifestyle at a Sandhills ranch. He is right. Children who grow up on ranches learn to be self-reliant at both work and play. They know how to be alone. It is a useful skill.
I think the Buells own some of the pasture land (the old Haskins place) that my family used to own, south of the Calamus River in Loup County, where the sweet red plums grow.

Ocotomom Nadya Suleman has apparently just signed on to do a..."masturbation video" for "an online adult entertainment company" (read: porn site). Good morning! News of the video comes to us via TMZ, so take it with a grain of salt, but on the heels of her recent noody shoot with British magazine Closer, it's not such a wild stretch of the imagination.
Depending on how closely you follow Nadya's career or whatever, you may recall that she once vowed never to do porn. Which she still won't be doing because, according to her convenient definition of it, appearing alone in a video "doesn't count" as porn. Sure.
Sources are reporting that Nadya declared bankruptcy just yesterday, so hopefully this new little project of her's will lend a hand in her money woes.

10 Amazing Rhubarb Recipes Without Strawberries!
I don't know about you, but when I think about rhubarb desserts the first thing that jumps to mind is strawberry-rhubarb-fill in the blank...crisp, crumble, pie, streusel bars, take your pick. No doubt about it, strawberry and rhubarb are an amazing duo, but rhubarb doesn't have to be be paired with strawberries to make an amazing dessert.
These 10 summery recipes are just a short example of how wonderful rhubarb is on its own and paired with fruits other than strawberries.
Of all the rhubarb desserty goodness I'm excited to enjoy this spring and summer, Rhubarb Blackberry Crumble (complete with vanilla ice creme, of course) is at the top of my list! This dessert screams summer. I love the combination of deep, rich blackberries with tart rhubarb.
What's your favorite rhubarb dessert sans strawberries?
- 1 Rhubarb Syrup (plus, 5 delicious ways to use it!)
- 2 Blackberry Rhubarb Crumble
- 3 Poached Rhubarb Royale
- 4 Rhubarb Crumble Pie
- 5 Rhubarb Basil Cocktail
- 6 Rhubarb Swirl Ice Pops - Hungry Girl Por Vida
- 7 Vegan Rhubarb Cheesecake - A House in the Hills
- 8 Almond-Rhubarb Thumprint Cookies - Portlandivore

EAST STROUDSBURG — More than 200 East Stroudsburg University students and faculty members gathered on campus Thursday to demand answers from administrators and show solidarity with current and former students whose sexual harassment lawsuit has rocked the university.
EAST STROUDSBURG — More than 200 East Stroudsburg University students and faculty members gathered on campus Thursday to demand answers from administrators and show solidarity with current and former students whose sexual harassment lawsuit has rocked the university.
"Something is broken at ESU," Nancy Van Arsdale, a professor of English and head of the local chapter of the faculty union, told the crowd. "We, the faculty, join you in saying there needs to be answers."
Six current and former ESU students filed a lawsuit Feb. 13 alleging that Isaac Sanders, the former vice president of advancement and executive director of the private ESU Foundation, provided gifts, scholarships and jobs in exchange for unwanted attempts at sexual intimacy. It also names other top campus officials, trustees and the university itself for allegedly covering up the issue.
On Thursday, some students held signs that read, "End the Silence" and "Silence Speaks." In interviews with several of those in the crowd, many students used similar words — "shocking," "disturbing" and "outrage" — to describe the allegations contained in the lawsuit.
Several students said they were angry that university officials had not done more to respond publicly to the scandal, or to assure students of their safety.
"I'm outraged," Jenifer Schaadt, a senior, said before the demonstration began. "How can any of the students feel safe if they won't respond to the allegations?"
The demonstration coincided with a visit by Gov. Ed Rendell, who is touring the state to tout his proposal to legalize video poker to generate money to subsidize college tuitions. Rendell addressed the issue during an impromptu meeting with students and the media.
President Robert Dillman sent an e-mail Tuesday to students, faculty and staff saying the allegations described "must never be tolerated on this or any college campus."
He said he understood the need for answers. "Please know that, as much as I and others have wished to address your concerns and answer the questions you have, it has not been possible to do so because of the current litigation," Dillman said in his statement.
In a sentiment echoed by others, Schaadt described the president's statement as too little, too late.
"They can't keep saying 'no comment,'" said Mike Quick, president of the student Senate. "They have to address it."
Several cited what they called a lack of leadership.
"For people who are supposed to be running the school, it's unacceptable," said Annmarie Dever, a senior.
Professors said the allegations harmed students on multiple levels, both those who filed the complaint and the students at large.
"Our alumni need to know when they give money, that it goes to scholarships to you, the students who deserve it," Van Arsdale said.
Last week, the board of directors of the private, $17 million ESU Foundation, which Sanders ran before his ouster last year and which raises money on behalf of the university, said it would authorize a forensic audit in response to the allegations in the lawsuit. Such audits find evidence of fraud or misappropriation of funds.
"We have no leadership on this campus on this issue," Kenneth Mash, a professor of political science, said to the gathering. "These six students — if these allegations are true — they're scarred for life."
"Those six people, they are you. They are your sisters and brothers," said Allan Benn, a professor of English. "You deserve answers. You deserve the truth. You matter."

Text of Speech:
You know, theres a Chinese proverb that says that there are three curses, each one worse than the previous. The first of these curses is: "May you live in interesting times." Well, the times we live in are certainly interesting.
We stand here today at a transformative moment in American history at the front lines of what can only be called a revolution in thought. We are here today, like hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans in cities all across the country to exercise our basic right as citizens, as a free people in a democratic republic. We stand here today, peaceably assembled, petitioning our government for redress of our grievances. And we are here to tell our government one thing: STOP.
We stand here today with a crisis of creativity in our country. We look around and see problem after problem: Poverty. Millions unable to get health care. People out of work. Its easy for all of us, no matter what our political views may be, to agree on what the problems are.
But though we all see these problems, for too long, we have seen just one solution let the government do it. Its their job. Its their responsibility.
Well, the second Chinese curse is this: May you come to the attention of those in authority.
Well, let me tell you, weve definitely been getting attention from those in power.
We are citizens today living under a government that doesn't represent us its people. And we have made the decision, together, that we can no longer refuse to take action. And for that, we are drawing much attention.
But when I say people, I should be clear, because I don't just mean us here today, or our friends across the country. I mean all Americans, regardless of whether or not theyre a part of the tea party movement. For years, no matter the Administration, no matter which party controlled Congress, no matter who we elected, none of us has been represented by our government.
And why should anyone care? Why should anyone have bothered to pay attention to what we wanted? Why pay attention when we largely refused to take action when we continued to let elected officials get away with whatever they wanted? We have congressional approval ratings in the teens and twenties, and yet re-election rates are in the 90s, and thats unacceptable.
You know, thirty-two years ago, something remarkable happened in the state of California. In 1978, Californians stood up passed Proposition 13 overwhelmingly a law hated so strongly by the political class, because it of all things made it more difficult for politicians to raise taxes.
But thats not why Prop 13 was important. No, it was important for what it started for what it signified. 43 states followed by passing some form of a tax limitation. In the late 70s, Americans realized that theyd been taxed too much for too long, and that it was time to do something about it.
But today the problem we face the problem that is drawing us attention is not our dislike of taxes. It is our solemn and firm rejection of completely out-of-control spending by politicians.
You know, to go off on a tangent for a second, Rodney Dangerfield once had a great line in Back to School that said, Youve always got to look out for #1, because if you dont, youll end up stepping in #2.
Well, pardon the analogy, but for too long, our elected officials have not been looking out for us for the citizens who should be #1. And worst of all, they havent just mistakenly stepped in some #2 theyve thrown us into a $16 trillion dollar pile of it.
And that brings me to the third Chinese curse: May you find what you are looking for.
For too long, those who wanted big runaway government have gotten what they wanted.
We have a Democratically-controlled Congress this year that passed a new trillion dollar health care entitlement, all the while ignoring overwhelming public opposition.
But why should we be shocked when just 7 years ago, a Republican-controlled Congress passed a new half-trillion prescription drug plan that nobody wanted?
We have a Congress today that raises the federal debt ceiling whenever it bumps up against that ceiling.
But why should we be taken aback considering that Republicans raised that ceiling again and again when it was politically convenient to do so?
Its pretty sad when those in Congress dont even know what the word ceiling means, isnt it?
We have President Obama borrowing, printing and spending more than any president in history, in the supposed name of job creation.
But why should we be surprised when his Republican predecessor did the exact same thing?
We have a president now who wastes trillions of dollars overseas in multiple endless wars, sacrificing American lives, destroying our civil liberties at home, and shredding our Constitution into millions of tiny bits.
But why should we be surprised to see him merely continuing and expanding the policies initiated by George Bush?
And then, of course, we have the worst example of all an example of government so out of control an example so galling that it deserves special scorn, all its own.
And this time Im talking about the bailouts.
A tag-team effort, foisted upon us by our last two presidents, a scheme that took hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, ignored the public outcry of those taxpayers, and then handed that money to the well-connected friends of unelected treasury secretaries and government officials, so that Wall Street millionaire bankers could keep making campaign contributions to both parties.
The truth is, we only really have one party with two competing factions: the spend money over here party, and the spend money over there party.
But what we realize today is that low taxes are not enough. Low taxes mean nothing if we don't reduce spending as well. And fortunately for our future generations, more and more Americans are realizing this as well.
Theyre realizing that the reckless spending of taxpayer money our money is just the beginning. Our government hasnt just been eroding away our pocketbooks, but also the basic liberties that have for so long characterized our free society.
But we cannot we must not — let lawmakers keep grabbing this power the power to solve problems that they themselves created.
This may come as a surprise to some in Washington, but you know, you cant run massive government programs like Medicare and Medicaid and the FDA and the medical boards, and many, many others and then say the free market doesn't work in health care, so we'll run it, instead.
You can't put up roadblocks to interstate competition between insurance companies and then say we need a government option because insurers don't have enough competition.
You can't have the Fed and the Treasury and the SEC and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the FDIC and then say we need to regulate financial instruments because the free market is failing.
No. We live in a world where the easiest way for a federal agency to get more funding is to fail at what it does, and the easiest way for Congress and the President to grab more power is to create a problem. This has got to stop, and its got to stop now.
Because if it doesnt stop, then as the Chinese curse suggests, well find what were looking for.
So the next time theres a Democrat who wants to spend money on a new health insurance bureaucracy, or a Republican who wants to spend on a new prescription drug entitlement, or a Democrat who wants to spend money on a supposed peace-keeping mission in Somalia, or a Republican who wants to spend money on war in Iraq no matter what it is, and no matter how much you think it might be a good idea you, me, all of us need to ask the question: Where is this money coming from?
Do I want to be taxed more to pay for this? Do I want the national debt to explode from more borrowing to pay for this? Do I want the Treasury and Federal Reserve to print more money to pay for this?
Or do I want to live my life, with as small a government as possible a government that doesnt threaten to bankrupt our finances or crush our currency. A government that doesnt have the power to run roughshod over the freedoms that we value so much.
We cannot let these bad policies be ignored anymore. Every time we let the government reach into yet another part of our lives, there's only less freedom left for us.
So do not let public debate be drowned out by those who shout obstructionist! every time someone opposes your ideas. Those of us opposed to bad laws arent obstructionists. We are citizens, with ideas we care passionately about.
And we demand to be free and responsible for ourselves. We don't want handouts; we don't want special advantages, whether those are farm subsidies or social safety nets.
We want a government that acts in accordance with the people, not in defiance of them. A government that does not trod about on our basic liberties, the economy, or our livelihood.
We must make runaway government spending a political curse on those who support it, before it becomes a curse on us financially. We must make our will known; we must ensure that our demand for a government of the people, by the people, for the people remains forever a reality and not just an idea.

This chapter introduces the main dialogs that you work with when you use Discoverer Plus Relational, and includes the following topics:
Note: The examples in this chapter use the sample Video Tutorial Workbook that comes with Discoverer. The specific tables, charts, data, and other items you see on your screen depend on the actual data in your database, and the workbook(s) designed by your organization's Discoverer manager.
The work area is where you do most of your analysis work with Discoverer. The work area displays the current worksheet and tabs for other worksheets in the current workbook. Discoverer's navigation facilities make it easy to find your way around workbooks and worksheets to find the information you want.
You can analyze data in the Discoverer work area in different ways:
using drag and drop (for more information, see "About Discoverer's drag and drop features"
using menus (for more information, see "About Discoverer menus"
using toolbars (for more information, see "About Discoverer toolbars"
using the worksheet wizard (for more information, see "What is the Discoverer Worksheet Wizard?"
When you are working in Discoverer, use the following drag and drop features:
add items to a worksheet by dragging and dropping the item from the Available Items pane onto the worksheet (for more information, see "About dragging and dropping items in the Discoverer work area")
reposition items on a worksheet by dragging and dropping items into position (for more information, see "About repositioning items in the Discoverer work area")
As well as using the menus to add and remove items, you can drag and drop items on a worksheet. The example below shows how to add an item to a worksheet by dragging an item from the Available Items pane onto the worksheet.
To remove a worksheet item, you can also drag and drop the item off the worksheet drag to anywhere outside of the worksheet area (except the Selected Items pane, if displayed).
As well as using the menus to add and remove items, you can reposition a worksheet item by dragging it from one area of the worksheet to another area of the worksheet. In the example below, the Department item is dragged from the left axis to the top axis.
Note: The black bar below the Profit SUM heading indicates where the item will be dragged to. You can also drop an item on top of another item to swap the positions of the two items (the target item is marked with a gray bar).
Dragging items to a different axis on a crosstab worksheet is known as pivoting (for more information, see "Pivoting data").
In Discoverer you can use a standard menu and a range of right-click menus to perform tasks.
The standard menu is displayed at the top of the Discoverer work area. The standard menu includes options in these categories: File, Edit, View, Format, Tools, and Help.
Right-click on any worksheet item heading to display a right-click menu of options that enable you to perform the most common analysis tasks. In the example below, right-clicking on the Profit SUM item displays a list of options that can be used to analyze this item.
In Discoverer you use a range of toolbars to access Discoverer's powerful features quickly and easily.
The Standard toolbar contains icons for the most common menu options (for example, Save, Print, Refresh, Edit Worksheet, Sort). As you become more familiar with Discoverer, you can use the toolbar instead of the menu bar to choose options.
To display the Standard toolbar, choose View | Toolbars| Standard Toolbar.
Hint: To display the name of a toolbar option, move the cursor over the toolbar option to display a tool tip on that option. For more information, see "About tool tips".
The formatting toolbar enables you to format selected worksheet items.

The graph toolbar enables you to edit graphs.
To display the Graph toolbar, choose View | Toolbars| Graph Toolbar.
Hint: To display the name of a toolbar option, move the cursor over the toolbar option to display a tool tip on that option. For more information, see "About tool tips".
The Available Items toolbar enables you to edit the worksheet using all items available in the business area.
The Available Items toolbar is displayed above the Available Items pane. To display the Available Items pane, choose View | Available Items Pane.
For more information about options on the Available Items toolbar, see "Available Items pane".
The Selected Items toolbar enables you to edit worksheet items currently on the worksheet.
The Selected Items toolbar is displayed above the Selected Items pane. To display the Selected Items pane choose View | Selected Items Pane.
For more information about options on the Selected Items toolbar, see "Selected items pane".
To help you use Discoverer, tool tips are displayed when you move the cursor over toolbar options. Additional information on toolbar options is also displayed at the bottom of the work area.
The figure below shows the tool tip for the Conditions toolbar item and also shows where additional information is displayed at the bottom of the Discoverer work area.
The following table shows the icons displayed in the Discoverer item navigator.
|Aggregations - the mathematical functions to aggregate data. For text items (for example, Region), the typical aggregations are Count, Max, and Min. For example, you can count the number of Regions items, or find the highest or lowest (where A might be the highest and Z the lowest).
For numeric items, typical aggregations are Sum, Count, Max, Min, Average, and Detail. For example, you can find the Sum or Average of the numeric data. The default aggregation (specified by the Discoverer manager) is displayed in bold.
|Business area - displays a business area created by the Discoverer manager. To select another business area for the new worksheet, click the drop-down arrow and choose from the list of business areas. A business area contains one or more folders.
|Calculation - a mathematical expression to produce new data from other items.
Note: Calculations defined by the Discoverer manager appear in folders. User-defined calculations do not appear in folders.
|Condition - a filter for finding specific data.
Note: Conditions defined by the Discoverer manager appear in folders. User-defined conditions do not appear in folders.
|Folder - contains the items that you can include in your worksheets. Click the plus (+) and minus (-) symbol next to the folder to open and close the folder.
|Item - corresponds to a column on a table or a level on a crosstab axis. Axis items remain constant and have relatively few unique values (for example, the names of departments in your organization, the names of your Sales Regions). The values of an axis item are shown as a list of values (LOV).
|Item Value - an item in a list of values (LOV).
|Numeric Item - represents numeric data. The values of numeric items can change as you analyze the data (for example, summing profits produces different results for cities than for regions). Numeric items behave as axis items on table worksheets and correspond to the data in the body of a crosstab.
|Percentage - a percentage that Discoverer calculates to summarize values in a numeric worksheet item.
|Worksheet items marked with a checkmark are currently displayed on the current worksheet.
|Total - a total that Discoverer calculates to summarize values in a numeric worksheet item.
Note: Items that are grayed out are not available to the worksheet.
Axis items are items that appear in the workbook window in:
the page axis
the top axis
the left axis
Typically, axis items have a relatively few discrete values. You use axis items to identify particular data values.
For example, if a crosstab worksheet shows sales figures, it might include Year as the top axis and Region as the left axis. You can then use the axis items to see the sales of a particular region in a particular year. In the figure below, Department item is on the page axis, Year is on the top axis, and Region is on the left axis.
Data points on a worksheet are the data in the body of a worksheet. Data points are the data that you want to use for analysis purposes. Typically:
On a table worksheet, data points contain text and numeric information (for example, customer mailing lists, product part number lists).
On a crosstab worksheet, data points contain numeric values calculated at the intersection point of the top axis and left axis (for example, monthly profits, sales amounts by product).
Whenever you create a worksheet, the Worksheet Wizard walks you through the steps necessary to get data from the database and arrange the worksheet items. The figure below shows the Select Items page of the Worksheet Wizard. In the Available list, simply select the folder or item you want to add to the worksheet then drag it to the Selected list.

A lost dog, or is it a lost owner?
We have named her Sophie because it seems to suit her. We have no clues as to her real name. All we know is that she appears to be a full-grown female Chihuahua, about 10 pounds. When she was found by someone in the Cando Cemetery July 30th she was waring a tagless blue collar. She was not micro-chipped. She is friendly, gentle and quiet, is house broken and understands basic commands. Someone must be missing her. Did her owner visit a grave site in Cando and fail to notice that she had jumped out of the vehicle to explore? Did the owner drive away while the little dog was absorbing the enticing scents of creatures that had been there before her?
One would think the owner might have noticed the pet was missing a few miles down the road and back-tracked to find her. One would think no stone would be left unturned in efforts to locate a missing pet. Call local law enforcement, veterinary clinics; put up posters around town; notify newspapers, radio and TV stations and go on the internet to post lost notices on Facebook and Twitter.
It's been a week and no one has looked for Sophie, or Holly, or whatever name she was given by her owner. How can that be? Poor Sophie is missing her home. Surely by now someone is missing her too.

Attachmate Corp. is owned by an investment firm led by three private equity firms (you lost me), and "enables IT organizations to extend mission critical services and assures they are managed, secure and compliant". Whatever the heck that means. Anywho, they're buying Novell for 2.2 billion USD. The Attachmate Corporation plans to run Novell as two business units - Novell-proper and SUSE.
At the same time, CPTN Holdings LLC, a consortium of technology companies led by Microsoft, bought a load of intellectual property from Novell for 450 million USD. All involved are mum on exactly what intellectual property it has bought, but Jefferies & Co. analyst Katherine Egbert believes it might be IP Novell acquired by buying WordPerfect.
"After a thorough review of a broad range of alternatives to enhance stockholder value, our Board of Directors concluded that the best available alternative was the combination of a merger with Attachmate Corporation and a sale of certain intellectual property assets to the consortium," said Ron Hovsepian, president and CEO of Novell, in a press release, "We are pleased that these transactions appropriately recognize the value of Novell's relationships, technology and solutions, while providing our stockholders with an attractive cash premium for their investment."
With Microsoft having a hand in this deal, let's hope this won't end up causing another boatload of patent lawsuits. After all, Microsoft joined the patent trolling game recently, and who knows, it might be addictive.

The S.C. Ports Authority broke ground Friday on its new $35 million inland port in Spartanburg County.
The S.C. Ports Authority broke ground Friday on its new $35 million inland port in Spartanburg County.
State and local officials gathered with area business leaders for a ceremony at the 95-acre site off East Poinsett Street near BMW Manufacturing Co. and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.
The inland port is already being heralded as significant as BMW's announcement nearly 20 years ago and will extend the capabilities of the Port of Charleston 212 miles to the interior of the state.
"This is a historic day for South Carolina," said Gov. Nikki Haley. "This signals that not only are we open for business, but we mean business... It shows that we're serious and that we're ahead of the game."
Goods will be shipped via container overnight along an existing Norfolk Southern rail line between Spartanburg and Charleston.
Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the Ports Authority, said the project will be complete in six months, servicing the area's largest manufacturer BMW Manufacturing Co.
But Newsome said the inland port is receiving interest from both existing and prospective customers.
"As the Southeast continues to lead the nation in exporting, and as e-commerce distribution grows, the inland port will be positioned to speed the flow of commerce and serve as a catalyst for investment in the surrounding area," he said.
The inland port will be only the second of its kind in the Southeast, including another in Front Royal, Va.
It will tie in to the Ports Authority's $2 billion improvement project that includes a deepening of the Port of Charleston from 45 to 50 feet and other infrastructure improvements.
According to the Ports Authority, the Upstate is home to the largest concentration of port users in the state, and a rail-based system should be a benefit to those companies.
Officials said the inland port is expected to eliminate about 50,000 truck trips along I-26 per year and will make importing and exporting goods more cost-effective.
"As demand for BMWs made in South Carolina continues to be strong worldwide, logistics options such as the new Inland Port continue to enhance our supply chain processes, said BMW Manufacturing Co. spokeswoman Sky Foster. "This operation supports our company's commitment to sustainable growth by offering BMW a concept to meet our long-term strategy. The environmental efficiencies are also an attractive benefit."
The South Carolina Department of Commerce and the Ports Authority announced Friday the state's 2012 exports totaled nearly $25.3 billion in goods sold to 197 countries around the world. Those figures represented more than a 2 percent increase over 2011 and a record for the state.
South Carolina ranked first among U.S. states in tire exports, holding nearly 30 percent of the share of American-made exported tires for the second consecutive year. The state ranked second in exports of gas turbines and automobiles to the world, the agencies said.
"About one in five jobs in the state are tied to the port," said U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, during the ceremony. "It is a real economic engine and our ace in the hole. The I-85 corridor is also an economic engine and to now have those two engines connected is tremendous… It's going to pay great dividends for this state."
Spartanburg County Councilman David Britt pledged the county's support for the inland port, stating it will be "transformational" for the Upstate, South Carolina and neighboring states in terms of its ability to net jobs and industry.
"People ask me why we fight so hard for economic development in Spartanburg County," Britt said. "It's simple. When you have jobs, your citizens have hope and opportunity. When they have hope and opportunity, they have a better quality of life."
Mike McClellan, vice president of intermodal and automotive marketing for Norfolk Southern, said the project is "special" and is an example of how public-private partnerships can work to create economic opportunities.
"I believe this inland port will be a model for the country," said U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-SC. "Strengthening the connection between the Upstate and the Lowcountry will provide a vital engine as we strive to compete and succeed in a global economy."
In 1982, the Ports Authority purchased 109 acres at the site near the intersection of the J. Verne Smith Parkway and East Poinsett Street, with the intention of building an inland port. Those plans failed to gain traction.
Newsome said the Ports Authority began re-exploring the project over a year ago. "From the very start, the only answer we got (from state and local governments) was yes," he said.
The Ports Authority still owned about 30 acres and has leased 65 more from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport that is part of the nearly 1,500 acres GSP has decided to unlock for private development.
Illinois-based CenterPoint Properties, which specializes in infrastructure projects, will develop the site. Paul Fisher, president and CEO of CenterPoint, said the inland port in Spartanburg County will be the first of its kind in the nation.
The Ports Authority said it will consist of a 40-acre paved lot, two 2,600-foot tracks that lead to Norfolk Southern's main line and nearly a mile of storage tracks with room for future expansion.
Three rubber-tired gantry cranes will be relocated from Charleston to stack containers in the yard, which will have 552 slots for shipping containers, the Ports Authority said.
While the initial capacity of the facility will be 40,000 containers per year, the facility could handle as many as 100,000 containers annually by 2018, according to the Ports Authority.
On the same day that national lawmakers failed to reach an agreement to avoid spending cuts under the sequester, Graham commended state and local officials for their teamwork.
"How are we going to get out of this mess?" Graham said. "The same way this country has operated for the last 200 years—by finding common ground and making everyone a winner instead of a loser… (The U.S. is) one big deal away from dominating the 21st century."
The Ports Authority said it will fund the inland port and harbor deepening with $1.3 billion from its own revenue. The state is kicking in the remaining $700 million for port-related infrastructure funds.

Former Baker School and Northwest Florida State College basketball player Chad Donley is no different from most players.
As a boy honing his skills on driveways, playgrounds and musty gyms, he dreamed of bigger stages where he would display his game.
Former Baker School and Northwest Florida State College basketball player Chad Donley is no different from most players.
As a boy honing his skills on driveways, playgrounds and musty gyms, he dreamed of bigger stages where he would display his game.
Playing for Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., Donley stepped onto college basketball�s biggest stage on March 19, when the Flames played North Carolina A&T in the opening round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball tournament at the University of Dayton in Ohio.
Liberty lost the game 73-72, but Donley purportedly is the first former Gator to play in the tournament.
"That's really humbling when I think of all the great basketball players that have gone before me at Baker," Donley said in a phone interview Monday. "I have to thank my coaches; coach (Mike) Martello (at Baker), coach (Steve) Forbes (at Northwest Florida State), (former Raider) coach (Bruce) Stewart (who died of cancer in May of 2011) � all of them put me in a place to succeed, so I owe a lot to all of them."
Donley said that, as a boy shooting baskets in the driveway, it would have been hard to imagine playing in the NCAA tournament. That the Flames, which started the season 0-8, could make tournament this year might have been an even bigger dream.
"As a kid when you�re always out there in the driveway (practicing), you are thinking about playing in big games, and it was really surreal at how things happened to make it there," he said. "Being a part of the team has been a blessing. It's crazy.
"When we started out 0-8, it was really hard for us. There were a lot of teams that would have given up hope and doubted themselves. But we really kept believing in ourselves the whole time, and it's crazy how God worked it out and how our hard work paid off in the end."
Despite having a 15-20 record, the Flames made the NCAA tournament by reeling off four straight wins in the Big South Conference tournament.
"Going into the season, I knew we had a lot of talent, and I knew we could win the Big South Conference and make it to the tournament," Donley said. "The biggest surprise, I guess, is the humility of the team. I knew we had a bunch of tough guys, but it was really nice to see how we kept our faith in each other and the program and we came to work every single day (when they were losing).
"Our coach said, 'Work as if it all depends on you and pray as if it all depends on God.' I think that's what we did.
It hasn't been easy going from being a player at Baker, a small rural school, to junior college and on to Division I Liberty, Donley said. In the process, he has learned there is no substitute for getting in the gym and working hard every day.
"It's been a heck of a transition, to be really honest," he said. "Going from Baker to junior college was a really big transition and going from junior college to Division I was another really big transition. It's been tough every day, but you have to do one thing at a time and get better every day.
"I've learned you can't take a day off because when you take a day off, somebody is going to be working to take your spot."
