Got Compost?
My grandmother is the consummate composter. In her home, nothing goes to waste and everything has a latent purpose. Kitchen scraps are certainly no exception. Vegetable trimmings, fruit peels, eggshells and coffee grinds are not waste, but potential fertilizer for her garden. Throwing these kitchen rejects into a bag to put on the street would be the true waste. In this rubbish, she sees opportunity and in her need to reuse, she gets a little creative. Why not give your kitchen scraps a new purpose by finding alternatives to the waste bin? But how do us �city folk� embrace this organic spirit and turn our cuisine by-products into fruitful soil? It is actually quite easy. First, learn this song. Next, let nature lead the way and the microorganisms literally do the dirty work.

Sunbeams Wildlife Sheet - How to Attract Lady Bugs to Your Garden
- Use a variety of plant species, especially hazelnut, hawthorn, and lime tree (tilia/linde/tilleul) are popular.
- Do not clean up leaves and stems from your garden until after the winter.
- Practice eco gardening: no pesticide or insecticides.
- Do not cut the grass too often and leave it high in some spots.
- Leave some of the nettles, they love it!
- Flowers provide them with nectar and pollen.
- Make a shelter for the winter for them and watch them cuddle up.
- They are the perfect solution for aphids or plant lice on your roses!
Tips on Gardening for Wildlife
This article will give you valuable tips to turn your garden into a paradise for wild plants and animals.
The Herb Spiral
One of the best quick garden projects we can all undertake near our homes is building an herb spiral. The idea is pretty straight forward: a spiral, one to two meters in diameter, curving and rising to a center point about a meter high allows us to put as many herbs as possible in as small a space as possible. The walls are made of stone, the inside is a series of different planting materials.
Getting Started with Eco-Friendly Gardening
Spring is in the air and slowly our outdoor work in the garden or on the balcony starts again. How to do it respecting nature, environment and not to forget, ourselves? Here are some ideas to choose from:
Do you have to compost in Belgium? By law the answer is no. However, if you want to reduce your waste removal costs and carbon footprint on the planet, or if you want to create free organic matter or free fertilizer for your terraced or in-ground plants, then your answer is definitely YES!
22 May 2009 was the International Day for Biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the diversity of all living creatures: the diversity between species, the diversity within the genes of one species, and the diversity of the habitat they live in or their eco-systems.
You have heard about the endangered and extinct species of animals and plants for which mankind often has been responsible. One species disappearing can have a lot of consequences for other species within the same eco-system and once extinct, one cannot restore that imbalance.

Please welcome special guest Christian Schoon to the virtual offices today. Christian is here to chat about his debut release Zenn Scarlett, which features a exoveterinarian. How cool is that?
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Christian Schoon ] Life-long SF-geek, believe life/biology in general are just too mind-blowing, can't wait for 1st inhabited planet to be discovered.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about Zenn Scarlett?
[Christian Schoon ] Zenn Scarlett is a 17-year-old girl in her novice year of exoveterinarian training at the Ciscan Cloister Exovet Clinic in the deep end of the Valles Marinaris canyon system on Mars. So, she's specializing the care and treatment of very large, often dangerous, profoundly fascinating alien creatures brought to the cloister from the dozen planets of the Local Systems Accord. She's usually an over-achiever in her classes. But lately there's: her father, off on distant Enchara, not communicating and it's worrying her; Liam Tucker, tall, sorta hottish towner boy who is, strangely, very interested in spending time at the cloister lately which is combo annoying/intriguing; her end of term tests, which she's pretty sure she'll pass without too much trouble (there might be trouble); and, finally, the possibility that she's started to experience a sort of mental "sharing" with some of the animals at the clinic. The problem is, she doesn't believe in ESP. She's a scientist. There must be some other logical, real-world explanation. Because if there isn't, she's going just a little mad….
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Christian Schoon ] Because of my work with animal welfare groups, and due to living on a farm with lots of room for animals, I've had considerable interaction with veterinarians in the past few years. Their skill and dedication to helping their patients made a vet heroine a pretty natural concept for me. Her uncle Otha and Hild also came about naturally as instructors at the cloister exovet school. Liam Tucker evolved as sort of bridge character between the cloister and the alien-hating citizens of the nearby town of Arisa; he then evolved into an on-again-off-again romantic interest who causes Zenn a fair amount of trouble… Hamish, the coleopt (an eight-foot-tall beetle) who works as the cloister handyman (handybug?) came about because I wanted Zenn to have a sounding board who was from a totally different culture; that means he can ask lots of questions about stuff I want to clue the reader into.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Zenn?
[Christian Schoon ] Compassionate, indomitable, intelligent.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If Zenn had a theme song, what would it be?
[Christian Schoon] Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing Zenn is never without.
[Christian Schoon] Mercy
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Zenn's pockets?
[Christian Schoon] A crunchy dried-grasshopper treat for her pet rikkaset, Katie.
A rolled-up v-film listing all her class assignments, homework, cloister chores and patient meds roster for the week.
A dog-eared old-fashioned-printed-on-paper photograph of her mother, Dr. Mai Scarlett, lost in an accident during in-soma pod insertion on a colossal Lithohippus indra years ago. Well, everyone thinks it was an accident…
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is Zenn's greatest regret?
[Christian Schoon ] Not having her mother around to talk to.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Christian Schoon ] My mom was an English teacher, so was my older sister, and they both encouraged me to love books and to indulge my imagination. I also had many great teachers who encouraged me in similar ways. I also have a very supportive and patient wife, who shares my love of animals, which is a good thing, since they basically rule our lives here on the Schoon ranch….
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Christian Schoon ] Minimal distractions
A nice hot cuppa.
At least one cat to bother me by lying on the keyboard, jumping on & off my lap, chasing my pencils off the desk, etc.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Christian Schoon ] *checks his socks* I was seriously impressed with The Greenlanders, by Jane Smiley; it's been out for a while, but it's just so beautiful and bleak.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Christian Schoon ] Well, this is tough. I guess I'd say Beautiful Joe: A Dog's Own Story by Marshall Saunders. Very early on, I was hooked by books told from an animal's perspective, not anthropomorphic Disney-movie-cute (tho I did love Disney's animal movies, of course), but stories that really attempted to give a sense of an animal's inner world, including the brutal, harsh and real, as well as the joyful and exuberant. I never really recovered from seeing things from that POV.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Christian Schoon ] I like good, down-and-dirty authentic old school blues music, played live, either solo or full-on electric, in a setting where people can cut loose and they serve something besides Bud. Also really like it when my wife Kat and I have time to unwind and just hang out with all our animals.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?

About the book:
When you're studying to be exoveterinarian specializing in exotic, alien life forms, school… is a different kind of animal.
Zenn Scarlett is a resourceful, determined 17-year-old girl working hard to make it through her novice year of exovet training. That means she's learning to care for alien creatures that are mostly large, generally dangerous and profoundly fascinating. Zenn's all-important end-of-term tests at the Ciscan Cloister Exovet Clinic on Mars are coming up, and, she's feeling confident of acing the exams. But when a series of inexplicable animal escapes and other disturbing events hit the school, Zenn finds herself being blamed for the problems. As if this isn't enough to deal with, her absent father has abruptly stopped communicating with her; Liam Tucker, a local towner boy, is acting unusually, annoyingly friendly; and, strangest of all: Zenn is worried she's started sharing the thoughts of the creatures around her. Which is impossible, of course. Nonetheless, she can't deny what she's feeling.
Now, with the help of Liam and Hamish, an eight-foot sentient insectoid also training at the clinic, Zenn must learn what's happened to her father, solve the mystery of who, if anyone, is sabotaging the cloister, and determine if she's actually sensing the consciousness of her alien patients… or just losing her mind. All without failing her novice year….

With the advent of cheap wearable cameras, the internet has become awash with road rage videos, which unsurprisingly sometimes feature motorcyclists. Sometimes these cameras catch acts of two-wheeled stupidity, and sometimes these videos highlight the dangers motorcyclists must face on the open road.
That brings us to our latest edition, where a large group of motorcyclists in New York are caught on film having an altercation with a Range Rover Sport.
We come into the incident after it begins, with a pack of motorcycles enveloped around the SUV on the West Side Highway, and a couple riders already gesticulating with the driver, Alexian Lien. One motorcyclist pulls in front of the Range Rover, brake-checks the four-wheeler, and is subsequently rear-ended…things then spiral out of control from there.

A reprise of the New Year's shows he hosted in the 1980s, the Web-streamed concert affirmed not only Rush's standing as a brilliant singer-songwriter and masterful guitarist but also his influence on fellow artists like guest performer Jonathan Edwards ("Tom's been like a father to me," quipped Edwards, one of many cracks about the 71-year old Rush's age that were made during the show) and younger talents like Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, whose three-song set was the evening's most rousing.
Rush opened with "Hot Tonight," a promise of lively times to come, then ceded the stage to his other guests, working both solo and in group configurations.
Among the highlights: David Buskin and Robin Batteau explaining hilariously why "Jews Don't Camp"; Edwards crooning "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," then harmonizing with Eric Lilljequist and Dean Adrien on the Lennon-McCartney ballad "Yes It Is"; Flemons demonstrating his extraordinary prowess on banjo, guitar, harmonica, and bones on tunes like "Your Baby Ain't Sweet Like Mine" by Papa Charlie Jackson; and David Bromberg (subbing for an ailing Nanci Griffith) moaning the "Statesboro Blues," with Flemons wailing alongside him on harmonica.
Following intermission, Rush took over with a set list that included Jesse Fuller's "San Francisco Bay Blues," from Rush's 1962 debut album; "Maggie," from "Ladies Love Outlaws" (1974); "Mama Don't Allow," a tune Rush learned from bluesman Sleepy John Estes long ago at Cambridge's Club 47; Joni Mitchell's classic "Urge for Going"; "What I Know," the title track from Rush's most recent album; the Geoff Muldaur instrumental "Mole's Moan"; and Rush's own much-covered "No Regrets" — "a medley of my greatest hit," as he wryly put it.
Backing Rush, in addition to the others, were Paul Guzzone on bass, percussionist Marshal Rosenberg, guitarist Trevor Veitch, and Joe Mennonna on saxophone. Not a bad house band. And not a bad house in which to put one, either.
For an encore, Rush sang "One More Time Around the Sun," a new sea chantey of his, followed by "Wasn't That a Mighty Storm," an account of the devastating 1900 Galveston, Texas, hurricane. He dedicated it to the victims of Hurricane Sandy, a fitting note on which to close a milestone anniversary show that looked forward optimistically while celebrating its deep and enduring roots.Joseph P.

Community Partnerships' Service Learning
Our Mission Statement...
Service Learning, a program of Adams State University Community Partnerships, facilitates multi-faceted learning opportunities by connecting educators and students with service providers, non-profits and other community partners to foster personal growth and civic engagement while meeting community needs in the San Luis Valley.
What is Service Learning?
Service-Learning is a form of experiential learning in which students address community needs while achieving specific curricular objectives. Service-learning is more than traditional "volunteering" because it combines service activities with structured reflection. Reflection enhances student's classroom and field experiences, while fostering an ethic of civic responsibility among service- learners.
Service Learning Projects
Private Probation
We have opportunities available for students and community members who need to fulfill court-mandated community services requirements. Please see here for more information.
Each semester, the Adams State University Athletics department offers a CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success) course. This course is meant to allow students to develop leadership skills and a connection to their community, while helping beneficial organizations in the San Luis Valley. Working through us, CHAMPS students sign up with various agencies throughout the San Luis Valley, providing these groups with valued community service while becoming a beneficial component to the SLV themselves. Please see the CHAMPS webpage here for more information.
Service Learning Benefits
- The Service-Learning office is available to support faculty with the integration of service-learning into curricula. Services offered by the office include:
- Individual meetings to discuss appropriate service sites that match course objectives.
- Literature and sample assignments that aid in connecting students' service to coursework.
- Class presentations to introduce service learning to students.
- Tools for implementing service learning such as contracts, risk forms, times sheets, etc.
- Support and assistance with the development of "reflection" assignments.
- Coordination of Service-Learning class activities.
- There are many benefits for community agencies who host service-learning students including:
- College students who serve as human resources, able to meet agency need.
- The opportunity to help cultivate energy and enthusiasm for a lifetime of volunteerism among service learners.
- The opportunity to participate in an educational partnership in which community agencies act as co-educators for service-learning students.
- Service-learners are potential future employees with job skills, a sense of creativity and appreciation for diversity.
The service-learning office is available to support community organizations hosting service learning students. Types of support offered by the office include:
- Site visits by the service-learning staff to discuss agency needs and service-learning opportunities.

Kcal 205 Fat 11.7g Fat(sats) 7.2g Carbs 22.5g
If you have been watching UK TV recently it is likely you will at some point have come across the latest Cadbury advertising for their new Spots V Stripes challenge campaign (See HERE). To cut a very (very!!) long winded story short, Cadbury have an ambitious two year plan to "split the nation into two teams - Spots & Stripes", with the ultimate aim of "keeping consumers immersed in game play in the lead up to the London 2012 Olympic Games", which Cadbury just so happen to be partnering. The basic idea is that consumers choose to either be a fan of the Spots team, or the Stripes team, and then play against each other for points which they register on the Spots V Stripes website (HERE). I have probably explained the concept pretty poorly so so if you wish to see more information I would suggest looking at this press release HERE. What I hope you are all more interested in, is the fact that Cadbury have launched a new bar to go alongside this campaign idea - the Cadbury Spots V Stripes Challenge Bar.
The product I sampled for this review today was sent to me by Lis at Foodstufffinds (review HERE - Thanks again!) and it came 39.0g bar that was divided in to three blocks. The idea is that you and a friend share the bar, eating your respective Spots/Stripes block each, before then playing a 'game' which is detailed on the inside of the wrapper (mine was eye-spy), with the 'winner' receiving the final middle piece. I will happily admit that the idea is all rather nice, but part of me couldn't help but feel it was an awful lot of fuss for what was fundamentally just a chocolate bar. On the positive side I was far more welcoming of the aesthetic appeal of the packaging and the actual chocolate, as I thought both lived up to Cadbury's usual high standards and were well designed and appealing on the eye. In addition, the bar also smelt pretty appetising with the familiar Dairy Milk scents fully showcased as soon as soon the matted foil wrapper was zipped open.
Unusually for me I have managed to write two paragraphs without actually telling you the product proposition - 'Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate & Cadbury creamy white chocolate'. Speaking openly and frankly, the first half of the product description filled with me glee, whilst the last bit brought back many an unnerving memory of my Cadbury Dream chocolate review a few years ago. There have been many times on this website when my preconceived thoughts about a product have been gone on to be disproved, but this wasn't to be the case here. Thankfully the Dairy Milk at the base of the product made up 75% of the total constituents so the taste was predominantly made up by the thick melting, delicious cream rooted sweet cocoa flavours of Cadbury's most famous chocolate recipe. Unfortunately placed on the top of each block, the not so great white chocolate only went to further sweeten the taste with it's sugar heavy flavours. Unlike any decent quality white chocolate it didn't enhance the creamy flavours of the taste or bring in any additional flavour notes such as vanilla etc - it was frankly just low quality sugary rubbish. It would be completely over the top of me to suggest that the white chocolate completely spoilt this chocolate bar for me (I still ate the whole thing after all), but at the same time I just simply didn't want it there, and it ultimately did hamper my subsequent levels of enjoyment and satisfaction.
Overall I like Cadbury's ambition to create a campaign that engages with consumers directly, however I think the focus on 'above-the-line' marketing execution has resulted in them releasing a rather lazy product to go alongside it. When I first heard that Cadbury were launching a new bar for this £14 million pound campaign I was instantly excited at the potential of an entirely new proposition. Given the effort put in to the entire Spots V Stripes marketing concept I have to admit I was disappointed when I learnt what was actually in store for us all. Unfortunately this disappointment was only further compounded when I tasted it, upon where I learnt that Cadbury still hadn't sorted out their white chocolate recipe. This Challenge Bar was far from being any sort of disaster due to it mostly comprising of Cadbury's wonderfully tasty Dairy Milk recipe, however for me the white chocolate only detracted from the overall product experience, rendering it a no better than average offering. Speaking as someone who doesn't care that much for the whole Spots V Stripes campaign concept (I concede it might appeal to younger people!), I'm left feeling that this is a missed opportunity for Cadbury, who I think could have really tied in a far stronger product offering. It's not a bad bar of chocolate by any means but I think it will do little to stimulate consumers to repeat purchase. As ever all your thoughts and views are most welcome, please be sure to share them below.

Kevin Duffy: This isn't just another game for UConn
STORRS -- In a brief moment when sheer rage outweighed judgment, former UConn defensive tackle Ryan Wirth, ticked off after a 10-7 loss to N.C. State, dropped this one-liner about the upcoming Maryland game: "It's not going to be hard to get fired up for that one." And those were the last bulletin-board words spoken publicly by UConn about Randy Edsall.
Before the Maryland game last fall, I approached Blidi Wreh-Wilson and said, "I have a few questions about Edsall." He chuckled and replied, "Go ahead. You're not going to get much."
This past week, I approached a bunch of Huskies with the same greeting. Most of them flashed a quick smile. Most probably wanted to roll their eyes. All gave stock answers about focus and blocking out distractions and all that fun stuff.
"This is about UConn versus Maryland," said senior offensive lineman Steve Greene. "This is a game we need. It's our backs against the wall after losing Week One." "It's about our execution," Greene continued. "We just have to make sure we're executing the way we did all through preseason."
It's all true. This is a game UConn desperately needs: You know how many Division I teams have started 0-3 last season? Thirteen. You know how many made a bowl game? Zilch. So yes, execution is a high, high priority. However, we can't ignore emotion, can we?
I've never played college football, and I won't pretend to know the ins-and-outs of game preparation. But anyone who's ever done anything competitive can vouch for this: Getting fired up is a good thing. Extra emotion can make an enormous difference in competitive performance.
Because what's focus if there's not enough fire behind it?
During a recent interview with former UConn defensive tackle Rob Lunn, it was pointed out to me that the Towson bench was amped while the UConn sidelines were timid and quiet. Glen Mourning, a former defensive back, also noted the lack of "attitude" in blue-and-white. Anyone who watched the season-opener would agree: The Huskies were out-executed, but they were out-energized, too. Don't overlook that.
"I'd say we came out flat," admitted UConn defensive end Jesse Joseph.
If the Huskies come out flat tonight, if they're out-willed and under-motivated, if they can't conjure up enough competitive fire to make Edsall's homecoming three hours of hell, you can kiss this season goodbye. You're looking at 0-3 (No. 11 Michigan comes calling next week) with a slim chance at a .500 record.
So I hope, for UConn's sake, that the players aren't viewing this as just another game.
"There are some guys on the team who feel like because it's Edsall we need to come out as high as we can -- more focused, more violent than ever before," Joseph said.
"That can be a good thing. We can use that. I can use that. That's something that you'll definitely see on the field -- the aggressiveness, the violence."
"If this is something that motivates you internally to push harder, go harder, go faster, go stronger -- then absolutely (use it)," Greene said. "But you have to be able to channel that. You can't let emotions, at any course of the game, take control."
Ryan Donohue, who transferred to UConn after "not gelling" with Edsall during Maryland spring ball, agreed that emotions can provide an edge.
"One of the things this week is trying to ignore the (Edsall) factor," Donohue said, "and getting our team ready so when game-time comes and it's time to let that emotion out, it's right there."
Senior defensive end Tim Willman, whose parents are neighbors with Edsall in Maryland, wasn't buying it.
"I don't know," Willman said. "I don't think bitterness from three years ago is really an emotion you can channel well in a football game."
To be clear, I'm a forgive-and-forget kinda guy. I let things blow over, and I believe the UConn fan base should be more appreciative toward Edsall than bitter.
I don't believe the players (14 of the 22 starters were Edsall recruits) should forget the coach pacing the visiting sidelines. This is personal for them. Quite simply, Edsall's departure told them this: "I think Maryland is better than UConn."
Whether it's true or not is irrelevant. The very action itself should annoy any UConn player with self-pride. Because no one likes to be told someone else is better than you. It's not a fun feeling.
So, at stake tonight is a chance to prove Edsall wrong. A chance to finish 2-0 against the coach who didn't consider UConn good enough for him. You would hope that stuff is discussed when the cameras aren't on. You would hope the Edsall factor gets some extra adrenaline flowing.
Execution, though, is a separate entity. It's very possible this Huskies team just isn't good. It's possible they'll run into a better football team tonight -- and on most nights, for that matter.
The truth is, UConn football doesn't have great talent. It wasn't the most-loaded team in the Big East. It isn't going to overwhelm anyone -- even AAC opponents -- at the skill positions. And that's always made the intangibles so important.
The truth is, UConn needs to back up Joseph's words and play "more violent than ever." It's not possible to win otherwise.

We plan for many important events in life. We plan for retirement, a wedding, vacations, and for a child's education. Sadly, the health choices that are made at the end of life are seldom planned and many times they are made for us. Decisions are put off and desires are not expressed because it is difficult to contemplate or discuss death.
There are many things to plan for at the end of life. Transfer of property and the well being of a spouse or child are all issues to be considered and planned for. However, the topic discussed here involves end of life health care issues, the importance of living wills, and advance directives. The principle way to ensure that your desires are fulfilled if you are no longer able to communicate your wishes is through a Living Will.
Idaho law provides for individuals to ensure that their wishes about their healthcare are carried out in the event they become incapacitated and are not able to speak for themselves. Generally, there are two kinds of Advance Directives. The first is called a Living Will, and the second is called a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. During the 2005 Idaho Legislative session, a modification was made to the Natural Death and Medical Consent Act. Consequently, in Idaho, it is now possible to complete one (1) form for both a Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare.
A Living Will sets forth your instructions for dealing with life-sustaining medical procedures in the event you are unable to decide for yourself. A Living Will directs your family and medical staff on whether to continue, withhold, or withdraw life-sustaining systems, such as tube feeding for hydration (water) and nutrition (food), if you are incapable of expressing this yourself due to an incurable and terminal condition or persistent vegetative state.
A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care allows you to appoint a person to make all decisions regarding your health care, including choices regarding health care providers and medical treatment, if you are not able to make them yourself for any reason.
You should not execute an Advanced Directive without having first thought about end of life issues, considered your personal values, and discussed your end of life wishes with your family, physicians, attorney, and clergy.

IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
For every country, the costs of achieving a given level of abatement will be
dramatically affected by the interface between its domestic policy and international
regimes. Since a co-ordination on the basis of simple reporting mechanisms has
not be adopted from the outset because it would not have been stringent enough
for UNFCCC objectives, some studies were devoted to clarifying the differences
between the two main tools for co-ordinating climate policies: country emissions
quotas or agreed carbon taxes.
Theoretically, both solutions are equivalent in a world with complete information
(the optimal quota leads to the same marginal abatement cost as the optimal
level). However, Pizer (1997), building on a seminal work by Weitzman (1974),
demonstrated that this is not the case if uncertainties about climate damages
and GHG abatement costs are considered. Indeed, welfare losses due to an error
of anticipation are not the same in these two approaches, depending upon whether
the steepness of marginal abatement cost curve is higher or lower than the steepness
of the damage curve. If the marginal abatement cost curve is steeper, then it
is preferable to agree on a pre-determined level of taxation because if this
level is either too low or too high, the resulting welfare losses trough climate
impacts will not be dramatic. This is the case in most modelling efforts as
long as there is no large probability of dramatic non-linearity in climate systems
over the middle term. This policy conclusion can be reverted if one considers
a high level of risk-aversion to catastrophic events (which makes the damage
curve steeper), or a large proportion of no regret policies (which
make the mitigation cost curve flatter). The main message, however, is that
in a tax harmonization approach, the costs of complying with commitments on
climate policies are known in advance (but the outcome is not predictable),
while in a quota approach the outcome is observable but there is an uncertainty
about the resultant costs. In this respect, emissions trading is logically a
companion tool to a system of emissions quotas, to hedge against the distributional
implications of surprises regarding abatement costs and emissions baselines.
After the Berlin Mandate (1995), a quota co-ordination approach was implicitly
adopted and the focus of analysis was placed on linkages between emissions trading
regimes and national policies. Contrary to the preceding period, very few works
were devoted to the case of co-ordinated carbon taxes. Hourcade et al.,
(2000a) confirmed that, because of the existing uneven distribution of income,
discrepancies in pre-existing taxation levels, and differences in national energy
and carbon intensities, a uniform carbon tax would result in very differentiated
losses in welfare across countries, unless appropriate compensation transfers
operated. However, a differentiated taxation does not minimize total abatement
expenditures (rich countries would have to tap more expensive abatement potentials)
and creates distortions in international competition. The suggested solution,
a uniform tax for carbon-intensive industry exposed to international competition
and a differentiated taxation for households, has to be at least adapted to
the Kyoto framework which does not preclude the use of carbon taxes but changes
the condition of their applicability. However, the underlying issue of how to
minimize abatement expenditures while guaranteeing a fair distribution of welfare
costs still remains.
Under the Kyoto framework, the interface between domestic policies and the
international regime passes through three main channels: the impact of international
emissions permit trading (under Article 17), international trading in project-related
credits (under Articles 6 and 12 (Read, 1999)) on abatement costs, and spillover
effects across economies through commercial and capital flows.

LAGOS, Nigeria — A total of eight people in Nigeria who were in direct contact with a man who flew to Lagos and died of Ebola now have symptoms of the dreaded and deadly disease and have been placed into quarantine, a Nigerian health official said Tuesday.
Of the eight, only a doctor who treated the traveller has so far tested positive for Ebola. The others are being tested, with results pending, said Lagos state health health commissioner Jide Idris.
The official death toll for the worst-ever outbreak for the disease stood on Monday at 887, according to the World Health Organization. Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been affected much more severely than Nigeria, which has experienced only one death. Though as Africa's most populous nation, Nigeria poses a grave risk of the disease catching on like wildfire.
Most of the people in quarantine had made contact in a hospital in Lagos with Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, Idris told reporters. Sawyer died on July 25, five days after arriving in Nigeria.
Others may have been infected in Lagos, a city with a population of about 21 million, before doctors suspected that Sawyer had Ebola. They put him in isolation about 24 hours after he arrived at the hospital.
"At that point in time, especially the first day, the nature of the disease was not known," said Idris.
During that window of time, it's possible more people got infected, he said as he defended the actions of health authorities.
"If they knew his history they probably would have taken better precautions," he said.
The eight quarantined people, who include the doctor, are among 14 who had "serious direct contact" with Sawyer, most of them at the hospital, Idris said. Authorities are following the conditions of a total of 70 people who had primary contact with Sawyer, and now they are tracking the secondary contacts of the eight people in quarantine, Idris said.
He said volunteers are needed to track down all the people who potential carriers of the disease had been in contact with.
The West African outbreak of Ebola started in March.

Crunches with Ball
Starting Position
Begin by sitting on top of the Swiss ball. Roll in the direction your head is pointed until your lower back is supported by the curve of the ball. You can either cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your ears. Do not put them behind the head or clasp them together behind your head.
EXHALE: Crunch forward, using your abdominals, until you are at approximately a 45 degree angle to the ball. Keep you neck in a neutral position.
INHALE: Lower yourself back to the starting position, where your head wraps back around the ball. Try doing 2 sets of 15 crunches.
Special Instructions
Keep space in-between your chin and chest, so your spine stays in a neutral position. Balance yourself on the ball with as much upper body weight off the ball as possible without falling over backwards.

Manchester United and Manchester City are heading for a transfer showdown over Swiss starlet Dimitri Mfomo.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, both Old Trafford and Etihad Stadium scouts have been impressed with the 15-year-old midfielder.
Manchetser United and Manchester City are not the only two major European clubs after the FC Zurich youngster, however, as Serie A sides Udinese and Juventus are both credited with an interest.
Mfomo is obviously very highly rated and it would be something of transfer coup for Manchester United or Manchester City to lure him away from their rivals.
It is likely going to cost either side a significant amount for a player of Mfomo's age, as the report claims Udinese have already had €600,000 bid knocked back.
It also claims FC Zurich are holding out for some closer to €1million and the reported interest could lead to a bidding war, which may mean the Swiss club get closer to their desired asking price.

Hooksett eyes pursuing Pinkerton and Manchester school deals
HOOKSETT — As school board members eyed a one-year tuition agreement extension with Pinkerton Academy Tuesday night, it was the big picture they were focused on.
Board member John Lyscars suggested an agreement also be forged with the Manchester School District to promote healthy competition for Hooksett students, and to allow parents and students to pick the high school of their choice.
Mike Berry, who sits on the three-member high school negotiation subcommittee, said that idea would likely appeal to Hooksett residents, but must still be negotiated with Pinkerton and Manchester officials.
Board members also discussed aligning tuition costs with both Manchester and Pinkerton; encouraging the Derry school to push back its daily start time; and building in an opt-out clause should Hooksett decide to build its own high school.
It was agreed the high school negotiations subcommittee would present the school board's ideas to both Pinkerton and Manchester officials for the purpose of negotiating a long-term contract with each district.
Earlier in the meeting, board member David Pearl said any agreement would have to address concerns expressed by residents after voters' rejection of the previous 10-year proposal with Pinkerton — the length of the contract, minimum enrollment requirements and bus transportation time.
He also suggested a mutual opt-out clause for both sides.
"I think after the last vote, we really need to start thinking about this as putting together something that would pass on the ballot," Pearl said.
Jim Sullivan agreed with Pearl that such an agreement would address many voters' concerns, but suggested language be included to allow for a two-year contract extension.
The board agreed to continue the conversation at their next scheduled meeting on July 8.
Hooksett resident Kara Salvis encouraged school board members to continue with a long-term plan, but urged them to speed up the process.
"I don't have an answer, and I don't know what the right answer is, but I am begging that this board moves a little faster, asks some harder questions, makes some harder choices, some harder decisions," Salvis said. "I think we've come to that point."

Playwright: Stuart Eugene Bousel, adptd from Kristin Hersh
Director: Claire Rice
Part biography, part rock concert, part experimental theater, this world premiere is based on Hersh's memoir of the same name. It tells the story of how, in one year, she went from a gifted college student to an icon of art rock music when her band, Throwing Muses, was signed onto the British label 4AD Records. Along the way, Hersh discovered that she was bipolar after a suicide attempt landed her in a mental hospital, in addition to being pregnant with her first child. As much a story about one woman's struggle to live with her own particular demons as it is about the rise of a gifted and unique artist, the play is a surreal and often comical exploration of how we make peace with who we are.
The show, which is part of the Exit Theatre's DivaFest, will feature live covers of songs from the album Throwing Muses, which was recorded at the time Rat Girl takes place.Tickets and info: theexit.org/divafest; (415) 673-3847

West Texas Comanches take care of Mustangs in District baseball
The West Texas Comanches hosted the Claude Mustangs Tuesday afternoon. The last time the two met, it was in 40 mph winds and dirt. The weather was perfect and the Comanches dealt the Mustangs their second loss to WT this year, 12-5. The Comanches are still alone in second place in the District standings.The Tribe put a couple of runners on base in the bottom of the first, but left them stranded. Claude sent seven hitters to the plate in the first two innings and one got on with a fielding error, but the Comanches took care of business and left him on base. WT scored six runs in the bottom of the second to take a 6-0 lead. It could have been worse for the Mustangs, because they had the bases loaded when the inning ended. Claude went three up and three down in the top of the third. West Texas added one more run after a fielding error by the Stangs, and left two on base. The score was 7-0 Comanches after three innings.The Mustangs finally got a hit in the top of the fourth, and they got their first run on the scoreboard. The Tribe ended the inning on a 4-6-3 double play. West Texas put another runner across home in the bottom of the fourth, and had two men left on base. They held a comfortable 8-1 lead after four.Claude posted one run after the fifth. The Tribe answered with two more runs of their own and led 10-2 after five. The top of the sixth was the most productive for the Mustangs when they scored three runs. Two runs were off a fielding error. Claude now trailed 10-5 with WT coming to bat. The Comanches added two more runs to their total to take a 12-5 lead into the top of the seventh inning.The Mustangs had two runners on base with one out and were hoping to cut into the WT lead and tie the game, but it didn't happen. The Tribe did their job to end the inning and the game and post another District win.Senior Logan Hoff started on the mound for WT. He pitched six innings with four strike outs, and allowed five runs. Big Ty Lay closed the game in the seventh. He had two strike outs and allowed no runs. Carlos Juarez had a good game day with his bat going 4-4. He had three base hits, was walked, and had an RBI. Lay got on base 4-5 times he was at bat. He hit a double, a single, was walked, and got hit by a pitch. He also had two RBI's. Kyle Stroud was 4-5. He had two base hits and was walked twice. One of his hits was a sweet little bunt he ran out to first. He had an RBI. Hoff was 2-5 with a double, a base hit, and two RBIs. Terrence Bonds was 2-4 with a double, a base hit, and one RBI.The Comanches have lost two District games, one to Follett, who sits in first place. They still have a chance to beat the Panthers.

Ride along the west coast of India, cycling through Kerala, Karnataka and Goa.
Beyond the crowded sights of northern India lies another world, one where the rhythms of daily life are that bit slower and the surroundings that bit greener - a place that lends itself to leisurely exploration by bike. Take a two-week cycling adventure up the west coast of India, on roads that are sandwiched between the lush forests of the Western Ghats and the golden sands of the Arabian Sea. Ride through incredible countryside with the chance to swap bike for boat and enjoy a river cruise. Explore towns where Portuguese and French influences sit alongside Hindu and Muslim monuments. In this spiritual place, the bike is a place of active meditation, a place to let the brain relax and refresh while roads are navigated and gorgeous surroundings are absorbed. The rewards of hot days in the saddle lie in beautiful beaches, the welcoming waters of the Arabian Sea and the taste of fresh coconut.
In 2019 this trip will become an 8 day itinerary that focuses on exploring Kerala. The trip will begin in Trivandrum and finish in Kochi. Please search trip code HHXK or 'Cycle Kerala' for more details.
Cycle to the idyllic backwaters of Kerala, where children often learn to row boats before they ride a bike. Experience a unique way of life on the water by spending time on a Keralan houseboat
Encounter life along the west coast of India with a ride through four different states: Kerala, an enclave of Pondicherry, Karnataka and Goa
Explore Kochi, a fascinating blend of Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and English influences, and witness the peak of local culture in an incredible Kathakali dance performance
To complete this trip it is important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed)
While the cycling distances on this trip are relatively short and the terrain relatively flat, the climate is usually warm so you'll need a reasonable level of fitness to enjoy the trip – but remember, there will always be a support vehicle on hand if you need to take a break for an hour or a day.
As most of the riding is done on sealed roads with the occasional gravel cycle path there are no technical cycling skills required, but given the hills we do suggest practicing riding downhill so you are comfortable with this once the trips begins.
There's the possibility of a few hiccups along the way – a puncture here and there maybe – but there's no doubt this is an incredibly rewarding adventure.
The weather in this region can be varied depending on the season. Be prepared to get sweaty and for the occasional rainstorm, which may require a change of plans.
We visit a number of temples on this trip, which requires a certain level of modesty. Please bring clothes that cover the arms and pants/skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it's hot.
Trip search is unavailable.

My review would be 5 stars. A fantastic introduction to the country. We loved seeing Kerala on bike and would thoroughly recommend this holiday.
Review submitted 10 Apr 2018
My husband and I had always wanted to travel to India and finally did in our mid fifties. What took us so long? Finding the right way to travel India, a way that suited our lifestyle. A cycle trip offered us an active holiday and a chance to see India the slow way. Cycling totally immersed us in the country's beautiful scenery, culture and people. Don't be afraid of the traffic, somehow it all works.
