As the global climate talks in Copenhagen reach a climax, there is a chorus of agreement from world leaders on the gravity of the global warming crisis, but a tangle of disagreement on how best to iron out an agreement .
The talks continued as President Obama headed to Denmark to address the summit Friday, the last day of the gathering.
Take, for example, the tensions at play when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- with negotiations stalled -- announced the U.S. would, after all, join an international relief fund aimed at providing $100 billion a year by the year 2020 to help the poorest and most vulnerable nations deal with the advancing impacts of global warming.
"We have now reached a critical juncture in these negotiations," Clinton declared forthrightly to an enormous hall here packed with journalists from around the world. "The United States is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year to address the climate change needs of developing countries."
But there was a condition -- part of a major sticking point that has spurred constant reports in the last days of this climate summit that there might be no agreement.
The U.S. would join in the fund, said Clinton, only if the global agreement included transparency in verifying every country's promised emissions cuts.
It was a clear reference to China, reported for days to be refusing to allow outside monitoring. One the other hand, there is the near total agreement on the gravity or the emergency at hand. It is a kind of agreement never seen before.
Agreement on Gravity of the Climate Crisis
One after another, 130 heads of state and government, arriving in the final days of this summit, have taken the podium, each describing the same thing: a planet already degrading quickly under rapidly rising heat:
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown declared, "Nobody can honestly deny that without common action, rising sea levels can wipe whole nations from the map." Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, sober and dignified, said, "We face the nightmare of humanity becoming the species that dies out just as a parasite does as it devours its host."
"We cannot let down the world," he said, "we cannot let down our children. We are here, and we are responsible for the future of this world."
Global Climate Agreement at 'Critical Juncture'
The litany of presidents and prime ministers giving their various views -- all describing the same sorts of attacks on Earth's life support system -- continued through the day and into the night.
Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd asserted that "Climate change is no respecter of persons, it is no respecter of cultures, it is no respecter of nations, its consequences are vast."
Then he offered specific depredations already underway in different regions of the world. "Whether it is the washing away of villages in Tuvalu ... whether it is the 30 million people of the most vulnerable in the world in low lying areas of Bangladesh... the melting of the glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau... whether it is the Chinese peasants dealing with unprecedented drought in the North China Plain, or the destructions of arable farmland in sub-Saharan Africa -- or in our own country, the destruction of one of the wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef."
Different Variations of the Same Global Threat
Each head of state or government has his or her own way of telling their fellow world leaders that they get it -- that they all now have the same view, that the scientists have been borne out, and that the clock has run out, that agreement on a common global battle has to come now, and that the children would condemn us all if the agreement fails.
For weeks, observers have said it unlikely Obama, who arrives here Friday, and 130 other world leaders would all agree to travel to this summit without strong assurance of a deal.
As the on-again-off-again negotiations lurched into the night, many of the negotiators were found in side rooms scattered around this immense convention center -- which is now coated with a layer of new fallen snow.
News also filtered to journalists working late of high-level, but private, dinners in different precincts of Denmark's capital city.
Many negotiators, working on details of wording for some sort of global political agreement, expected they might get little -- or no -- sleep before Obama arrives.
World leaders have long called for America to take the lead against global warming -- and have taken heart from Obama's insistence, from the moment he took office, on giving it highest priority.
But at the last hour, despite so much agreement on the severity of global warming, it's still not clear what kind of a deal would be ready for him to sign.

15 Days of Screenshots - Day 11 Profession of Choice
This post is part of my series in participation of Saz's Through your Interface 15 day screenshot challenge.
Day 11 : Profession of choice
Show us an image of you doing what you like to do best.
Fishing. Definitely. People say I'm crazy but I find it strangely therapeutic - except when I'm trying to catch certain fish... and turtles.
I was the first person in the guild to get the Salty title. In fact I still only use that title now. It elicits all sorts of dirty comments and it's not that common a title, not that I've noticed anyway.
So here I am with the boys trying to land me a big one.
Sadly there are 2 fishing achievments which elude me. Turtles all the way Down and Old Ironjaw. Even the water rat in Dalaran took me ages to get, compared to other non avid fishers.

Apache uses SSH to allow committers to access their home directories on
people.apache.org. Please remember to keep your client up to date with
security patches. When using SSH to connect to
people.apache.org please
pay close attention to any known host warnings.
Help to finish this document by contributing documentation patches ! If the information you seek isn't in this document, then please submit a patch once the infrastructure folks have answered your question.
Note: these resources need consolidating. Help Wanted !
See instructions for new committers to configure your account.
See instructions for setting up SSH on UNIX and Windows.
If you encounter a problem with SSH and you are not running the most modern stable release (of the client software you are connecting with) please upgrade and retry.
The client should be configured to use SSH2 where possible. This will ensure that the SSH2 protocol is used to connect to Apache. Not only is this protocol more secure but will allow a chose of interactive keyboard (type in password) or PKI. If you must use SSH1 then you will need to use PKI.
Read this and try to diagnose the problem.
Generate your key on a computer that is in your control, then upload only the public part to the people.apache.org server.
Do not make the mistake of generating the key on people.apache.org server.
FreeBSD only allows a user to be in 16 groups. An user who is too popular
will not be allowed to log on. It is easy to mistake this for a ssh
problem. If
Authentication succeeded is present in the debug
logs then this indicates that the issue lies on the machine
login (rather than ssh).
Batch mode should only be used by automated scripts. You will not be able to login if ssh is configured to use batch mode.
The second generation in the ssh family of protocols. It is believed to be more secure than the first generation and the implementations are now mature. Certain flaws exist in the first generation protocols which do not exist in the second generation. SSH2 is therefore recommended.
Most clients can be configured to use SSH2 (where possible).
The easiest way to diagnose a failing connection is to run your client in verbose mode. This will print up descriptions of the actions that the client is taking. How to do this using OpenSSH is here
Authentication succeeded is present then this indicates that the issue
lies in the machine login (rather than ssh).
If you are using OpenSSH some instructions are available. Otherwise, please consult the manual.
Any client that supports the SSH2. (It is possible to use older clients that support only SSH1 but that requires more knowledge.)
OpenSSH is a well known and trusted client that is available for most *nixes. Some notes on how to use OpenSSH to connect to Apache are given here.
Public key infrastructure (PKI) enables the ssh family of protocols to operate without passing a password to the server. A passphrase is used to unlock a private key on the client machine. A corresponding public key on the server is used for authentication the during the handshake.
This method of connection is recommended (as the most secure).
You can connect to
people.apache.org using the SSH1 protocols but only
when using PKI
SSH employs the known hosts mechanism to prevent man in the middle attacks. The first time that the client connects to a server, the fingerprint of the key used by that server is displayed to the user who may to asked to confirm the identity of that server. For example:
The authenticity of host 'people.apache.org (22.214.171.124)' can't be
RSA key fingerprint is 51:85:7d:8f:57:54:e7:6f:27:26:98:7a:c7:c1:47:87.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
The fingerprints for
people.apache.org can be found
here. If the user elects to continue
then this value will be written to a
known_hosts file. In future, when
the user connects to the same server, this value will be checked and the
user alerted if it has changed.
Please do not continue the connection after such an alert: contact infrastructure. This is of crucial importance when using keyboard interactive authentication.
Note: the fingerprint for the key used for ssh is different to the fingerprint of the certificate used to securely serve the website.
A class of attacks where the attacker masquerades as the server to the client and the client to the server.
OpenSSH is a widely used and trusted suite of software using the SSH family of protocols.
The OpenSSH client uses (by default) configuration files in the
directory. The main configuration file is
~/.ssh/config and is optional.
In other words, it may or may not exist already. If it does not then it
should be created.
A simple text format is used. Instructions for a particular host (or group of hosts) are grouped together. The following is a suggested basic configuration:
# Apply to all hosts # Alternatively replace with: #Host \*.apache.org Host \* FallBackToRsh no Protocol 2,1
There are many other options available.
To diagnose what's going wrong with an OpenSSH connection, run the client
in verbose mode. To do this just add
-v. For example:
$ ssh -v -l committer people.apache.org

Lye Brook Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Lye Brook Wilderness (map) in 1975 and it now has a total of 18,122 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Vermont and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe Lye Brook Wilderness is east of Manchester Center in the southern Green Mountains of Vermont. This wilderness is named after Lye Brook, which flows through its western half. The wilderness ranges from 900 feet to 2900 feet above sea level. Most is above 2500 feet, on a high plateau with several ponds and bogs. Waterfalls and rocky streams may be found here as well as reflecting pools. The western section is extremely steep, facing west-northwest towards U.S. Route 7 and Manchester. Four and a half miles of the Appalachian/Long Trail cross the northwest tip of the wilderness. Approximately 80% of the area is forested with northern hardwoods: birch, beech, and maple. Thickets of small spruce dot the area. Remnants of railroad grades and old logging roads remain. Several species of neotropical birds, black bear, moose, deer, pine martin and bobcat inhabit these woods. There are many marshy areas off trail and the ecological balance is quite fragile. Take care and be prepared for muddy trails and an intense black fly season in the spring and early summer. Hunting opportunities for deer bring many seasonal visitors, as do snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter months.

More choices announced for fans' trip to Bristol in August
Low-Cost Tent Camping and RV Spots Added
Additional options are available for campers coming to Bristol Motor Speedway in August as officials continue to assist fans and their efforts to attend the upcoming IRWIN Tools Night Race events.
Speedway officials secured property for approximately 250 additional low-cost camping spaces to help in the financial challenge of traveling.
"There are key components to what we refer to as the Bristol Experience, one of the biggest of which is camping," said track General Manager Jerry Caldwell. "Lodging continues to be a stumbling block for our fans and we work diligently to alleviate the obstacles."
The additional camping options include nearly 150 tent-camping spots for only $50 for the week of the IRWIN Tools Night race and more than 100 non-hook-up RV parking (shower house included) for only $99 for the week.
Fans interested in any of these options may call 423.989.6944.
August race week at BMS kicks off Aug. 22 with the Wednesday night doubleheader featuring the Camping World Truck Series 200-lap event and the UNOH Perfect Storm 150 Whelen Modified race.

Registration/Schedule of Courses
Students register for classes each semester according to the Academic Calendar. Admitted, degree-seeking students must meet with their academic advisor and will register online through MyTMC or in the Registrar's Office.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
Students who wish to enroll in classes at Thomas More College who do not intend to earn a degree can do so through the Registrar's Office. To be eligible, students must: have a high school diploma or the equivalency, be eligible to return to their previous institution in good standing if enrolled in the past year, and meet the prerequisite course work. Please fill out the Non-Degree Seeking Student Application and return to the Registrar's Office for processing.
Policies & Procedures Related to Online Courses
- Students register for online courses just as they would for any other Thomas More College courses, with the Registration Form during the appropriate dates indicated in the Academic Calendar.
- Students wishing to drop online courses will need to follow the same procedures as any other Thomas More College course with the Add/Drop form. Withdrawal and refund dates are determined by the Academic Regulations and Tuition Refund Policy. Courses lasting less than 16 weeks are on the Alternate Calendar Schedule. Please check with the Registrar's Office for the appropriate dates and full policies.
- Just as in a face-to-face course, attending online courses is important. Consistent with Thomas More College's Attendance Policy, excessive absence from class shall constitute sufficient grounds for dismissal from the class affected or such other lesser academic penalty, as the faculty member may judge appropriately. Each faculty member is competent to determine what is permitted in a particular course and this policy shall be indicated in the course syllabus. A student who is reported to the Office of the Registrar as having been excessively absent from class will receive a notice from the Registrar's Office that the professor has dropped the student from his or her course. Students who are dropped from a course for excessive absences are assigned a grade of WF for the course. Please see the Attendance Policy in the College Catalog for the full policy.
- Students are required to submit an assignment to the instructor within the first seven days of an online class. If this assignment is not submitted, the student is considered a no-show and will be administratively dropped from the course.
- Attendance is tracked for online courses based on the dates the student accesses the online content. Should a last date of attendance need to be calculated for Financial Aid, refund, or other purposes, Thomas More College will use the last date of online access.
- Failure to attend class is not sufficient notice to the College for withdrawal. Tuition will be charged for the course and the instructor may assign a punitive grade of Y (unofficial withdrawal).
- Thomas More College's snow policy and cancelations do not apply to online courses.

Mexican veterinary authorities are confirming this week there has been an outbreak of avian influenza near Guadalajara that has caused the death of nearly a quarter million chickens since early June and so far has forced a quarantine zone around three poultry processing facilities in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
In a follow-up report submitted to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), Mexican animal health officials said intravenous pathogenicity tests revealed a highly pathogenic H7N3 subtype that is the cause of the current outbreak. Mexican veterinary authorities are intensifying avian influenza control efforts in the region, which houses several large commercial farms.
The event represents the first highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks in Mexican flocks since the country battled H5N2 in the mid 1990s.
The outbreaks began at three large commercial farms in Jalisco state on Jun 13, causing clinical signs in the layer flocks that included gasping, lethargy, fever, and death. The disease sickened 587,160 of more than 1 million susceptible birds, killing nearly 220,000 of them.

I'm looking for a few things.
A few years ago, I was bitten by the Marathon bug; and when I say bitten I mean like hardcore infected. I somehow managed to fall in love with a series of games created well before my time. Well, I say somehow, but I know precisely all of the reasons why: the sci-fi setting, the beautifully crafted story, the frog blasting of vent cores, and of course the incredibly addictive carnage to be found online.
This started me on a journey through time and space to collect physical copies of every Bungie game Marathon and before. What's that you say? There's Aleph One? Yes, well, I'm an idiot with a certain affinity for the real deal. I had been previously using that website to chronicle my collection, but I can no longer sign in to my old account for unknown reasons. Because of this it's not quite up to date and is missing a fair few things.
Right, so the favour: I need all of your collective help to assist me in tracking down the last items I need to complete my collection. I don't know why I didn't post here sooner, I've known about these pfhorums for a while but I guess I've been too busy on my home forum of The Flood over on bungie.net (now known as #OffTopic, I hate you DeeJ).
Here is a complete and detailed list of everything I have yet to acquire. Prepare yourself, it's quite lengthy.
- Pathways into Darkness (1st Release) for Macintosh - Now what I mean by first release is the pre-PowerPC version of the game. The way to tell the difference between the PowerPC release is that it's missing the red face in the bushes down the bottom right corner of the front of the box, as seen here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... ox_art.png. I am looking for this game complete-in-box, meaning that it comes with all of the floppy disks, manual, and box. So just to be clear, I'm looking for the version WITH the red face.
- Operation: Desert Storm - I'd really like a complete-in-box copy of this game in fair condition (eg. not many tears in the cardboard, not too discoloured, etc), but I'm also interested if you've got just the floppies/manual/box and nothing else.
- Marathon 1 for Macintosh, CD version - I'm looking for this one sealed in the original plastic shrink-wrap and in fair condition. It has to be sealed, not interested in a complete-in-box opened copy.
- Marathon 2: Durandal for Macintosh - I'm looking for this game sealed in the original plastic shrink-wrap and in fair condition as well. If there are some holes in the shrink-wrap that aren't too noticeable, that's okay. This one has to be sealed too, I'm not interested in a complete-in-box copy.
- Marathon 2: Durandal for Macintosh, JAPANESE VERSION - I'm looking for this game sealed in the original plastic shrink-wrap, but I guess complete-in-box would be okay too. Picture (disregard the player's guide, I've already got one): http://www.attainj.co.jp/company/images ... al-set.jpg
- Marathon 2: Durandal for Macintosh, GERMAN VERSION - I'm looking for this game sealed in the original plastic shrink-wrap. I'm hopefully about to get my hands on a complete-in-box one, but I'd really like it sealed. Picture (this is actually the exact copy I'm hoping to soon receive; the owner seems to be okay with parting with it): http://www.x-fish.org/blog_picture/111231_02.jpg
- Marathon keychain - I don't care about the condition of this at all, I'd just really like one. Consider this a bonus goal for the collection since I can fairly easily recreate my own (which I may actually end up doing, more on that at a later date. I may or may not have been given direct access, by Blayne Scott, to http://maramerch.bungie.org/).
If anyone here or anyone that anyone here knows has something listed above, please PM me. Also, if you have any questions or need anything clarified then don't hesitate to ask away. I would really appreciate any and all help.

Happy Christmas to all those who follow the Swinfield Blog.
When you are together over the festive season, let us find some time to talk to other family members about our relatives and the ancestors from who we are descended. Now is a good time to collect those family stories. Let us remember where we came from and record all the family memories and tales before it is too late. Dig out all the old family photos and record the names, dates and places of the images from our past. Then make a New Year's resolution to share them with all of us who are part of the wider Swinfield clan. I would love to hear from you and to have new material and images to write about in 2012. Tell me what you have discovered so that we can pass the information to all who are interested. This Blog is a great medium for telling stories and illustrating them with documents and photographs.
If you have not done so, join the Swinfield Genealogy & DNA Group too. As of today, there are 58 members. 47 are called Swinfield or are members of one of its family trees. The other 11 members are friends and colleagues or are just interested in what we are trying to achieve and discover. I am grateful with all your support. If no-one reads it, what is the point of writing?
Of the 47 Swinfields, I can identify 37 of them with certainty on my pedigrees. The other 10 have yet to give me enough information to tell me exactly who they are. They can be categorised as:
Family 5: 20 members
Family 3: 7 members
Family 4: 8 members
Family 33: 1 member
Family 44: 1 member (Swinfield-Wells)
Of the eight major lines, on to which nearly all of us can be placed, we still have no representatives of the remaining three families which are now named as 1, 2 and 12.
If you want to look at the main family trees, albeit the male lines of ancestry and descent, these can be viewed on the Family Tree DNA Swinfield DNA & Genealogy website. There you should be able to link into your own Swinfield line. If not, let me know and I can consult my extensive records.
On the FTDNA site, you can also view the results of the limited number of DNAtests that we have done so far. More males are urgently needed to participate please so that we can learn so much more! Their sale price offer of just £80 is available until 31st December. Any takers? Write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com .

The joys of taxation17 January 2008 by admin
I would like to know the rate of personal income imposed on the individual in Australia. I just wondered how heavily taxed is the average indivdual. — Cherrie, USA
[Updated with the new tax rates and average earning figure.]
Australians probably don't pay the highest tax rates in the world, but neither do we pay the lowest. In turn for handing over our hard-earned dollars, we have quite generous (by world standards) policies regarding social welfare and universal health cover, and various other things that are generally seen as good things but cost a bunch of money to maintain. All the same, you'll find many Aussies (especially those with higher incomes, paying more tax) are more than happy to whinge to you about it.
Income tax for residents is:
- $1 to $6000 – no tax
- $6001 to $25,000 – 15% of each dollar over $6000
- $25,001 to $75,000 – $2,850 plus 30% of each dollar over $25,000
- $75,001 to $150,000 – $17,850 plus 40% of each dollar over $75,000
- $150,001 and above – $47,850 plus 45% of each dollar over $150,000
There's an extra 1.5% tax for Medicare. Various deductions and offsets apply, depending on circumstances. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average earnings is $1,162.20 per week, or $60,434.40 per year. Presumbly Mr or Ms Average is paying $13,480.32 in tax out of that, plus $906.52 Medicare tax.
And of course, this is all in Australian dollars. Sometimes it's known as the Aussie Peso, but at the time of writing, the A$ is worth about US$0.93, close to the highest in years. (For Australians reading who don't fully understand the international currency market, this does NOT mean you should avoid being paid one dollar coins because they're worth less.)

The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) has released a draft version of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Version 3.0 to Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) companies. This release was not made available to the general public as PCI SSC is still reviewing feedback from QSA companies and other participating organizations before the final version is released in November 2013. The new PCI DSS 3.0 compliance requirements will go in to effect for all companies on January 1, 2015 but there are a few requirements defined in PCI DSS 3.0 that will not be required for compliance until July 1, 2015.
PCI SSC has categorized the changes for the standard into three types: Clarifications, Additional guidance and Evolving Requirements. PCI SSC defines a clarification as a means to make the intent of a particular requirement clear to QSA's and entities that must comply with PCI DSS. Additional guidance provides an explanation, definition and/or instructions to increase understanding or provide further information or guidance on a particular topic being assessed. Evolving requirements are changes to ensure that the standards are up to date with emerging threats and changes in the market and are new requirements for the most part.
In total there are a proposed 99 changes between the three types of changes, which were nicely defined in the document "PCI DSS 3.0 Summary of Changes" provided by the council. The majority of changes, 71 to be exact, are clarifications followed up by 23 evolving requirements and 5 changes that fall under the "additional guidance" category. This blog post provides a high-level overview of the proposed changes in the draft PCI DSS V3.0 and this overview is not specific to particular requirements. Neohapsis will be releasing a series of blog posts dedicated to PCI DSS V3.0 that will explore individual requirement changes in great detail.
So enough setup, here are some key takeaways of high-level changes to PCI DSS Version 3.0.
Scope of PCI DSS Requirements
PCI SSC added some clarification around the responsibilities for defining scope for both the entity seeking compliance and the QSA performing the validation. PCI SSC did a great job of clarifying the scoping process by providing examples of system components that should be included are part of the scope for a ROC assessment. In addition to system components, the scoping guidance section contains requirements for capturing all purchased or custom developed applications that are being used within the cardholder data environment (CDE). Compared to PCI DSS Version 2.0, this section of PCI DSS Version 3.0 has been broken out to be more descriptive as well as to display the details in a clearer manner to help entities better understand the scoping process.
Use of Third-Party Service Providers / Outsourcing
The use of third-party service providers to support an entity's cardholder data environment (CDE) and the related PCI DSS validation requirements have not change that drastically. All entities that fall under PCI DSS are still required to validate that each third-party service provider is PCI DSS compliant by obtaining a copy of their attestations of compliance (AOC) or by having their QSA assess the compliance status of each third-party service provider for relevant PCI DSS requirements.. However, the draft of PCI DSS Version 3.0 provides examples such as advising entities seeking PCI compliance to validate the IP addresses for quarterly scans if one or more shared hosting providers are in-scope for their CDE. Furthermore, entities seeking compliance are advised to work with service providers' to ensure that contractual language between the two parties clearly states PCI DSS compliance responsibilities down to the requirement level.
Business-As-Usual (BAU)
The biggest change that I see in PCI DSS 3.0 is the emphasis on making PCI DSS controls part of "business-as-usual" (BAU) as compared to a moment in time assessment. To get this message across, the draft version of PCI DSS 3.0 provides several best practice examples for making PCI are part of BAU. These best practices are not requirements, but the council wants to encourage organizations to make PCI a part of BAI. The goal of this change in thinking is to get businesses to implement PCI DSS as part of their overall security strategy and daily operations. PCI DSS is stressing that their compliance standard is not a set-it and forget-it mentality.
Some important areas in this new mentality focus on security processes. For example, entities should be validating on their own that controls are implemented effectively for applicable businesses processes and related technologies. Some specific examples related to this new mentality focus on antivirus definitions, logging, vulnerability signatures and ensuring that only appropriate services are enabled on systems. With this new mentality, entities should look to take corrective actions when compliance gaps are identified so that PCI DSS compliance can be maintained at all times and not wait until their QSA comes to validate their compliance. When gaps are identified, implementation of compensating or mitigating controls may be necessary and should not be left open until the start of a QSA assessment.
Lastly in regards to BAU, the company seeking PCI DSS compliance should continue to have open dialog with their QSA throughout the year. Good QSA companies will work with their clients to help ensure the right choices are being made in between ROC assessments.
Until Next Post
This is just one of multiple blog posts about upcoming changes in PCI DSS version 3.0. Neohapsis will be releasing additional posts on more specific PCI DSS 3.0 requirements in the near future. If you are required to be PCI DSS compliant then I would recommend having a talk with your QSA company to start planning and preparing for PCI DSS 3.0. You are also welcome to reach out to Neohapsis as we have multiple QSA's who are seasoned professionals who can address your PCI DSS and PCI PA DSS compliance questions.

The next few years are expected to witness futher transformation and growth,
with a new global agreement to limit carbon emissions and the likely emergence of substantial carbon markets across
North America and Australia. According to the Congressional Budget Office, current legislation being considered in
Congress would create a market valued at billion in 2012 in the US alone (Source : European Climate Exchange).
The act of recycling fundamentally leads to a reduction of carbon emissions and other Green House Gases (GHG). Recycling efforts by
industrial entitities may be best rewarded by establishing a tax credit system in lieu of Carbon Offset Credits.
The Listing Value is calculated by multiplying the quantity and the market price of the grade of material noted in the exchange listing.
The reported value is USD funds.
Listing Value = Market Price X Quantity of Material
The MTCE value is calculated using carbon reduction data noted in the US EPA WARM Model documentation. This value represents the
Carbon emmission reduction resulting from the act of recycling the grade of material noted in the Exchange Listing.
(US EPA WARM) : United States Environmental Protection Agency
WAste Reduction Model
This value is calculated using the value of CO2 as published by the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) multiplied by the
MTCE value. The carbon offset value is reported in USD.
The CCX is one of several Exchanges that facilitate the trading of Carbon Offset Credits.
The commodity traded on CCX is the Carbon Financial Instrument (CFI) contract, each of which represents
100 metric tons (tonne) of CO2 equivalent (MTCE) Exchange Allowances or Exchange Offsets.
The CCX carbon offset value used represents the end of day price for 1 MTCE as reported by the CCX from the previous day of trade.
Estimated Carbon Offset Value = (MTCE) X (CCX Carbon Offset Price)
Currently this value is conceptual in nature. This value is based on the position that :
This value represents the sum of the exchange Listing's value, the Estimated Carbon Offset Value and the Proposed
Sustainability Tax Credit Valuation of the material.
The valuation is reported in US funds .
Estimated Transaction Value = (Listing Value) + (Estimated Carbon Offset Value) + (Proposed Sustainability Tax Credit Value)

D.C. Voting Rights
THE PUSH for voting rights for the District of Columbia has stalled because -- or so congressional leaders say -- city officials can't agree on a course of action. Let's be clear about who really is at fault.
First are Republican opponents of democracy for the District who are too gutless or feckless to oppose it directly. They hatched a poisonous amendment that would strip the District of its authority to regulate guns. If their true goal had anything to do with guns, they could have overridden the recent D.C. gun legislation. They didn't bother even to try.
Then there are the Democrats who ostensibly support voting rights but weren't going to risk anything on its behalf. There are the leaders in the House and Senate who were caught flat-footed by the GOP maneuver, and the legislators who didn't dare stand up to the gun lobby. The president and his attorney general who might have made a difference but couldn't rouse themselves to interfere.
In announcing last week that he was suspending efforts to pass a bill that would give the District a voting member in the House, Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) put the onus on District leaders. But we don't blame city officials for refusing to decide between two bad alternatives: forgoing voting rights or winning them at the dangerous expense of public safety.
Instead, we think that Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) should be figuring out how he can fix the mistake he made when he cavalierly signed on to the gun amendment, giving license to more than 20 Senate Democrats to follow suit. Likewise, Mr. Hoyer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should continue to press members of their caucus to make this a vote about principle, not politics. And President Obama, who supported D.C. voting rights when there was no political cost, should lead the way in fulfilling a promise that Americans who pay taxes, go to war and serve their country should have a voice in that government.

The most perplexing thing about the World Series for some wasn't how Daniel Murphy let a slow grounder go under his glove.
Rather, it was this: What the heck happened to Pete Rose?
The breakout star of Fox's panel of analysts one minute, baseball's hit king was gone the next. Twitter was abuzz with speculation about his abrupt absence, and the requisite conspiracy theories began to fly.
Turns out, the truth is simple. Rose had places to be, things to sign.
"They were kind of disappointed I wasn't there, and to be honest I was disappointed, too," Rose told The Associated Press on Sunday. "But I'm the kind of guy who lives up to my contracts. You've...

Screenshot of an options dialog with a contrived Accessibility property card showing. There are four subheadings on the card: Target Accessibility Standards, Accessibility Checking, Accessibility Highlighting, and Accessibility Help. Under Target Accessibility Standards there are two checkboxes: W3C-WAI, with a drop down level selector currently showing "Double A" and U.S. Section 508. Under Accessibility Checking are five checkboxes: Check accessibility as you type, check accessibility after saving, check accessibility during publishing, auto-correct when possible, and show summary. Under Accessibility Highlighting are two checkboxes: highlight accessibility related fields and prompt when highlighted fields are left blank. Under Accessibility Help is one checkbox: Provide accessibility "Quick Tips".
Screenshots of the the floating properties bar from Dreamweaver 2.0. The first shows the bar in its extended form with a top and bottom half (two long text lines each). In the collapsed bar that follows, the bottom half is not present. From left to right, the top half of the bar contains: a thumbnail of the image, the size of the image, and text box controls to change the Width, Height, Src, Link, Align (drop-down menu) and Alt. At the far right edge there is a question mark button (help) and down arrow button (more properties). The bottom half of the bar contains controls for drawing image map shapes, setting VSpace and HSpace, Target, Low Src, Border, Justification, and controls to edit the image and reset the size.
Screenshot of a tag editor for IMG. The dialog contains text box controls to change: Source, Alt. Text, Name, Width, Height, Align (drop-down menu), HSpace, VSpace, and Border. The Source field of the card has a black asterix icon beside it (indicating that it is required). The Alt. Text field has a red asterix icon that references to a line of text reading "Note: ALT text is required for accessibility.
Screenshot of a tag editor for IMG. The dialog contains text box controls to change: Source, Alt. Text, Name, Width, Height, Align (drop-down menu), HSpace, VSpace, and Border. The Alt. Text field is colored light yellow.
Screenshot of a contrived tag editor for INPUT. It is a multi-card dialog with the Accessibility tab selected. The Accessibility card contains text box controls to change accessibility features including: title, access key, tab index (with generate label tag checkbox). Following this are some "Quick Tips": 1. For a radio button or checkbox its caption (if defined) takes precedence over its label, 2. If no ID is defined, an implicit label will be generated. 3. If a LABEL tag is generated, any access key will be defined on LABEL rather than the field except for a radio button or checkbox. 4. MSIE 4+ (only) supports LABEL but explicit labels only - specify an ID! 5. Tabindex is supported only by MSIE 4+ (not valid for hidden).
Screenshot of a contrived alert dialog. The text reads: "You must enter alternate text to describe the image". An OK button appears below.
Screenshot showing contrived WYSIWYG view of a document with an image of the earth. The image is surrounded by a blue squiggled outline. The user has just right-clicked on the image, bringing up a pop-up menu with its upper-left corner in the middle of the image. The menu items read: Set alt="An earth rise as seen from the surface of the moon", Enter different alt-text..., Check Accessibility..., Help...
Screenshot showing contrived code view of a document containing an image. Since the image markup lacks an "alt" attribute the font color of the offending element has been changed to red.
Screenshot of a contrived saving dialog with an alert added. The alert consists of a yellow alert icon on the save button. The same icon appears at the bottom of the dialog with the words: "This file contains graphical elements that are missing text descriptions."
Screenshot of a contrived checker. The window title is "Accessibility: Image". This is followed by the type of error: "Missing Alternate Text for an Image") in heavy type. A thumbnail of the image is followed by the image file name "pic234.gif". Below this is a combo (text and drop-down) box for entering the ALT text. Following this are "Quick Tips": 1. "Alternate (ALT) text should be 10 words or less and should include any text in the image. 2. Images serving as buttons should have ALT text that emphasizes the action performed by the button. 3. Images serving as bullets should have "bullet" as ALT text.
Screenshot of a contrived chat/whiteboard tool. The window title is "Whiteboard/Chat (John)". From left to right are three panels. The first is a list of current participants in the session (Presenter, John-identified as the whiteboard describer by a checkmark, Jane and Alice). The middle is a whiteboard showing a picture of an earth rise as seen from the moon and a red box drawn between the earth and the lunar horizon. Under the whiteboard canvas is nine tool selection buttons: a selection tool, a text tool, a marker tool, a fill tool, an eraser tool, an image insertion tool, a line drawing tool, a rectangle drawing tool, and an oval drawing tool. The third panel is a chat showing an ongoing monologue by "Presenter" interspersed by whiteboard action announcements with accompanying descriptions (highlighted in yellow). The panel includes an area for typing and sending messages to the ongoing dialog. Beneath the panels in a "Whiteboard Description" area. The area contains a "Request whiteboard descriptions" checkbox used by participants to anonymously request descriptions of the whiteboard contents, an "Accept "whiteboard describer" duty for this session checkbox that allows a participant to volunteer to add the descriptions (in this case we are looking at John's screen and he has volunteered). Below this is a textarea where John is prompted to "Describe Presenter's use of Marker Tool". Ordinarily, the description is then placed automatically into the dialogue at the place where the described action occurred. If the user presses "skip" (usually because the action is part of a larger action that is described), the action removed from the dialog. Help is also available.

Asparagus Recipes
Asparagus season has started and, seemingly overnight, those tender green spears are everywhere. For this simple stir-fry, I simply sauted garlic, asparagus, kale, broccolini, and tofu in peanut oil and added soy sauce, red chili oil, and Nasoya's vegan Sizzling General Gao sauce. Served over jasmine rice, it was toothsome and satisfying.
I'm looking forward to trying some new asparagus recipes this season. Here's some of my favorite discoveries from last season:

Eye and Ear Alerts Patients to Data Breach Contact: Mary Leach Ph.: 617-573-4170 Boston (April 16, 2012) — On March 5, 2012, the Quincy, Massachusetts, Police Department informed Mass. Eye and Ear that they were investigating a Mass. Eye and Ear employee for inappropriately using the names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of certain individuals, some of whom were believed to be Mass. Eye and Ear patients. The hospital promptly suspended the employee, who was subsequently dismissed and no longer works at Mass. Eye and Ear. Mass. Eye and Ear determined that four of the individuals identified by the Quincy Police Department are Mass. Eye and Ear patients, and that the employee would have had access to certain personal information about them in order to perform her assigned duties. The Quincy Police Department has informed us that they are not aware of any credit card theft. Mass. Eye and Ear is also not aware of any inappropriate access to, or use of, medical information. While Mass. Eye and Ear is only aware of four individuals whose personal information was actually misused, as a precaution we are notifying, by mail, approximately 3,600 patients whose Social Security numbers were available to the former employee in the course of performing her assigned duties. Mass. Eye and Ear will provide one year of free credit monitoring to potentially affected individuals to protect them against possible harm resulting from this incident. "Please be assured that we take the protection of our patients' personal information very seriously," said Mass. Eye and Ear President and CEO John Fernandez. "We are saddened and disappointed that this former employee appears to have chosen to violate both our trust and that of our patients. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and concern caused by this incident." In order to reduce the chance of similar incidents in the future, Mass. Eye and Ear has taken steps to further restrict access to full Social Security numbers among our staff. Mass. Eye and Ear has been and will continue to perform appropriate background checks as part of the hiring process, and regularly reinforce with our staff the importance of safeguarding patient information. Should you have any questions regarding this situation, please call the Mass. Eye and Ear Assistance Line at 877-313-1395. Page updated: April 23, 2012

You were expecting objectivity? Here's the Chairman of the Associated Press introducing Barack Obama to an Associated Press meeting:
I get the desire to flatter the President of the United States, but really? He might as well have pulled out a blue dress and a cigar.
By the way, it is funny to think of the groups that Barack Obama has not deigned to visit and those he has. He felt no need to speak, for example, to the NAACP. But he is a repeat visitor to the Associated Press.
The American media establishment really is going all in for this guy and it is no wonder. The only silver lining is we are starting to see more and more good journalists embarrassed by their own kind and we continue to see some bright lights who are willing to be just as tough on both sides. But in the Gang of 500 ? the political press corps and pundits in the Beltway, Barack Obama has many a soulmate.
Hat tip, by the way, to Complete Colorado for tracking this down.

The real estate market of Downtown Brickell has experienced consistently high growth figures, for the past several years, these growth figures have consistently hovered around double digit figures. This has also led to an unprecedented boom, in the construction of condominiums in this region. The good news for Brickell Avenue real estate investors is that the condominiums continue to sell at the same unprecedented rates, at which they are being constructed. In fact there are frequent instances of condominiums selling out completely within a few days.
The rate at which urban redevelopment and transformation is undergoing currently at Downtown Miami, is going to turn it into an entirely different and maybe unrecognizable city in a few years. Real estate pundits have predicted that over the next ten years, the Greater Miami real estate market would witness the introduction of about 90 new, high-end, Miami condo buildings.
They will come up chiefly in areas such as Downtown Miami, Brickell, the Miami Design District, Brickell Keys, Wynwood, Edgewater, and Coral Gables. Apart from that, there are projects that involve the construction of promenades, shopping centers, offices and condos which are contributing heavily to giving an entirely new look to the Miami Brickell Avenue real estate market.
Condos in Downtown Miami, Florida
If you would like to invest in condominiums in Downtown Miami area, then irrespective of the fact, whether you are new in the market or you are an experienced investor, you should consult professionals who have the expertise and background, as well as extensive resources that would help you achieve your real estate goals. However, finding a real estate agent who has the experience and skills, required to help you achieve your goals, can turn out to be as challenging a process, as the buying of your home. You should look for a real estate agent who can offer you a full range of real estate and other associated services, which can be customized to meet varying requirements of individual clients.
A well established real estate agent in Brickell Avenue can also help you in selling your property, as they would have a well connected international network of eligible buyers, and they would be able to market your Miami condo to this huge network of willing buyers.

Amid the most beautiful Miami condos are the ones located in Brickell like the unique Jade Brickell Miami, a marvelous residential luxury building that set the trend for new developments than now are part of this upscale neighborhood. Glass balconies and floor to ceiling windows became the norm and the style to follow probably because of the freshness and the coolness it evokes.

Other luxury wonderful buildings in the area are the impressive Santa Maria and the Bristol Tower, pioneers of the new Miami glass architecture.

We brew our beers to be enjoyed responsibly by adults and always have. For the past 30 years, Anheuser-Busch has been the industry leader in promoting alcohol responsibility. Since 1982, when we launched our first responsible drinking campaign – Know When to Say When – Anheuser-Busch and our wholesalers have committed more than $980 million in national advertising campaigns and community-based programs to prevent underage drinking and drunk driving.
Together with wholesalers, retailers, educators, parents, law enforcement officials, professional sports teams and you, we can continue the progress that's being made. Our efforts continue by encouraging adults to pledge to drink responsibly and share their commitment with family and friends. This is our world, and these are our roads and our families, and it's through our collective responsibility that we all help to keep them safe.
The week before Global Be(er) Responsible Day in 2013, more than 450 St. Louis employees took part in an event to spell out Budweiser's Designate a Driver message. Participants stood in single-file lines to become letters and create a living billboard as a helicopter flew overhead to capture the image. This unique project was the start to activities planned in the area leading up to Global Be(er) Responsible Day.

VIDEO: Highlights from game played on March 26
James Harden makes MVP case | Pacers clinging to playoff hopes | Crawford says he'll be back | Amar'e to stick with Dallas?
No. 1: James Harden makes MVP case — With the season nearing an end, the MVP talk around the MVP race is heading up. Stephen Curry? Russell Westbrook? LeBron James? Anthony Davis? Or what about in Houston, where James Harden has been perhaps the best offensive player in the NBA this season? USA Today's Sam Amick caught up with Harden, who made his case for why he deserves your MVP vote…
"I think if you look at what I've been doing all year, only missing one game all year because of the situation (with seemingly-endless injuries to teammates), basically having to carry a load all year, being consistent from the first game of the season," Harden said. "That should show it right there. But like I said, (the focus is) for me to go out there and continue doing what I'm doing, being consistent, is all I can do."
And getting to the free throw line at an unmatched rate. Harden — who has converted on 86.6% of free throw attempts — is on pace to lead the league in free throw attempts for the second time in three seasons (10.1 per game). Last season's leader in that category was the Thunder's reigning MVP, Kevin Durant (9.9).
"I'm enjoying the whole process of these last (few) games, just trying to win games," he said. "That's what I've been doing since Dwight has been out. I don't really keep track of the other (MVP candidates) or what they're doing. Obviously everybody knows that Russ is going on a triple-double rally. He's playing extremely well and they're fighting for the eighth spot. But all those guys you named (Curry, Westbrook, James, Davis and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers) are very good players, or very talented players. For me, I just focus on what I can control and going out there and doing the best I can do every single right."
In trying to explain his own MVP-caliber campaign, Harden said his comfort level in the not-so-new surroundings have been key. It's his third season in Houston, where he came via trade in October 2012 and has progressively found his way as a leader ever since.
"All I needed was time," he said of the Houston experience. "All I needed was to know what I had around me. And now that I know it, I'm comfortable with it and I can be a great leader. I think that's probably one of the reasons I'm so successful is that I'm comfortable. I think if you're comfortable in any situation, and you know what's going on and you know what you're going to get, you're going to be successful.
"It's about having a good time, about enjoying it, enjoying the grind. If you're not having fun, you're probably not doing good."
