Nest Learning Thermostat Proven to Save Energy
Independent and In-House Research Shows Nest Thermostat Saves Customers
10 Percent to 12 Percent on Heating and 15 Percent on Cooling Bills
Palo Alto, California — 02. Februar 2015 — Nest Labs, Inc. (www.nest.com) today shared results from three energy-savings studies that showed on average, the Nest Learning Thermostat™ saved customers about 10 percent to 12 percent on their heating bills and 15 percent on their cooling bills. This translates to an estimated average savings of $131 to $145 a year. The three studies mark the first large-scale energy-savings research of the Nest Thermostat and demonstrate the energy-savings potential of properly programmed thermostats – a measurement that has been elusive and an area of controversy.
Nest is a learning thermostat. It remembers what temperatures you like, creates a custom schedule for your home, and automatically turns itself down when you're away. Once it's learned your schedule – as soon as three days after installation – Nest can begin paying for itself. And with 95 percent of Nest Thermostats running a schedule, it's clear that customizing Nest to your lifestyle is attainable and easy – no confusing programming or needing to manually adjust the schedule with the change of seasons.
"Nest is committed to being the industry leader in measuring and sharing energy-saving results," said Ben Bixby, general manager of energy services, Nest. "While we always knew that the Nest Learning Thermostat helps people save energy, we now have independent, third-party evidence of how much it can save. With this information in hand, customers can feel even more confident about investing in a Nest Thermostat and our energy partners can be assured that energy-efficiency programs involving Nest will have an impact."
The studies looked at customers across the U.S. and analyzed their energy use before and after they installed the Nest Thermostat. Of the independently funded, designed and evaluated studies, one was performed by Energy Trust of Oregon and the other by Vectren, a utility company based in Indiana. A third study was performed by Nest using a national sample of Nest customers across 41 states who had also enrolled in Nest's MyEnergy service.
Programmable Thermostat Energy Savings: A Myth?
Proof of energy savings from programmable thermostats has been elusive for decades. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a number of thermostat manufacturers, including Nest, have at various times said that programmable thermostats could save customers 20 percent on their heating and cooling bills. In most cases, the calculations are based on an assessment of how much a well-programmed thermostat could save versus a thermostat left at a constant temperature at all times. However, this approach is imprecise, because (1) very few programmable thermostats run a schedule that accurately reflects occupants' schedules and (2) people with a manual thermostat often make temperature adjustments at various points as opposed to maintaining a constant temperature. Due in part to the difficulty of getting real savings data, in 2009, programmable thermostats lost their Energy Star rating.
Getting the Most out of the Nest Learning Thermostat
The Nest Learning Thermostat learns about you and your home to program itself and save energy, and it gets better over time thanks to regular software updates. While it automatically adapts to changes – sensing how long it takes to heat up or cool down your home and whether you're home or away – it performs best when you teach it well. To help Nest customers get the most out of their thermostats, Nest has published a list of recommendations here. And starting February 9, for the first time, customers can speak with a live Nest Energy Advisor, who will provide customized guidance to help achieve savings from the Nest Thermostat.
White Paper Available for Download
The results of the three studies are outlined in the Nest Thermostat energy-savings white paper, which is available for download at www.nest.com/press/#documents.

|MLBPA News Release
NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Tony Clark announced today that former Major League pitcher Bob Tewksbury has joined the MLBPA as director of player development, a newly created position.
Tewksbury, 53, holds a master's degree in sports psychology and counseling from Boston University (2004). In his new role, he will work with current players in areas such as, but not limited to, post-career prep and transitioning, on-field performance counseling, personal development and continued education. He previously worked as a sports psychology coach for the Boston Red Sox and for the past 13 years has served as a resource player during the annual Rookie Career Development Program organized jointly by the MLBPA and MLB.
"Bob understands the challenges players face as they navigate their way through their careers, and how to deal with those challenges. I believe Bob will quickly become a valuable resource for our membership," said Clark. "Providing the players with the type of counseling and guidance Bob offers is part of the union's commitment to provide improved services and support to players."
"I look forward to working with players to help them excel not only on the field but in life," said Tewksbury. "Today, professional athletes face an ever-increasing number of obstacles as they juggle their playing and personal lives. As a former player, I thank the MLBPA for recognizing the need to offer assistance in these areas, and I'm honored to be the individual to help provide these invaluable resources."
Tewksbury, a native of Concord, N.H., played parts of 13 seasons in the Majors with six teams: the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres and Minnesota Twins. He finished his career with a record of 110-102 and an ERA of 3.92. As a member of the Cardinals in 1992, he finished the season with a record of 16-5, played in the All-Star Game and finished third in voting for the NL Cy Young Award.

Gomes ('93) And Washington To Be Inducted Into HRAASHF Saturday
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 5, 2010
NORFOLK, VA-- Wayne Gomes ('93) and Wilson Washington ('77) will be inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 6. He will join former ODU Basketball standout Wilson Washington ('77) who will also be inducted. The event will be held at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel. Registration and reception will begin at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 7. Tickets can be purchased at the event for $75 per person and $750 for a table of 10.
A 1993 relief specialist Wayne Gomes was at that time the highest Monarch player ever selected in the baseball draft. The Philadelphia Phillies selected the Hampton, Va. native as the fourth overall pick in the first round.
As a junior in 1993, Gomes earned first team honors from the Colonial Athletic Association and first team All-State honors. That year, he compiled a 2.03 earned run average with four saves and 55 strikeouts in 26.2 innings. During his sophomore season, Gomes fanned 54 batters in just 35 innings of work. He recorded three saves and registered a 2.04 earned run average.
Gomes made his mark as a freshman in 1991 as he led the Sun Belt Conference in saves with nine and ranked among the nation's top 15 in that category. He was named first team freshman All-American by COLLEGIATE BASEBALL NEWS in 1991. That same season, Old Dominion ranked as high as 23rd nationally and reached the Sun Belt Conference Tournament finals.
Gomes completed his career at Old Dominion with a 5-3 record. He pitched 100 career innings with 156 career strikeouts and a 2.43 earned run average. Gomes saved 16 games which was a record at Old Dominion when he completed his career. Gomes pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1997 to 2001. He Pitched 13 games for the
San Francisco Giants in 2001, then for the Boston Red Sox in 2002. Spent the entire 2003 season with Scranton in the International League where he pitched in the IL All-Star game and led the league in saves. Signed with Oakland during the 2003 off-season. Gomes graduated with a degree in recreation and leisure studies. He was inducted into the ODU Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.
Wilson Washington became Old Dominion University's first Division I All-American in 1977 after earning third team Division II All-American honors in 1975 and first team Division II All-American honors in 1976.
Washington scored 1,366 career points, grabbed, 1011 career rebounds and blocked 363 shots. He grabbed a career high 24 rebounds against Roanoke in 1976. In 1975 Washington was named the NCAA Division II Tournament Most Valuable Player as he helped lead the Monarchs to the National Championship with a win over New Orleans in Evansville, Indiana. As a senior, he helped lead the Monarchs to a 25-4 record in 1976-77, the school's first season in NCAA Division I. That year, Old Dominion won 22 straight, including a 80-58 victory at Georgetown in the ECAC South Finals.
Washington grabbed 20 or more rebounds five times in his career and blocked 12 shots against William and Mary and Charleston Baptist. He performed four triple-doubles during his career (points/rebounds/blocked shots). Probably the best of the four was his 22 point, 20 rebound, 12 blocked shot performance on Feb. 5, 1976 in Williamsburg, Va., against William and Mary. A second round draft pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1977, Washington played two seasons in the NBA. His jersey number 52 was retired in 1978.
They will be inducted along with Boo Williams, Marty Miller, Aaron Brooks, Jackie Dolberry, Larry Rose and Calvert Davidson.

Mary Rose Center raising funds to expand, relocate
ONEIDA >> Business is booming for the Mary Rose Center, the health clinic for uninsured people of the Madison County area, said co-founder Dr. Rathika Martyn.
Martyn, who created the center with the Gorman Foundation in 2010, said this is actually bitter-sweet news.
"The bitter part is that there is an ever-expanding population of uninsured who need health care, but the sweet part is that the Mary Rose Center has grown in leaps and bounds, providing these folks with an all-encompassing service," Martyn explained. "Like any expansion, it comes at a price...we need new digs."
The new location has already been found, across from the current facility in Oneida's Northside Shopping Center in the soon-to-open 11,900 square foot Gorman Foundation Community Center.
At the site of the old Rite Aid store, the Community Center will be home to several non-profit agencies under one roof, including the Mary Rose Center, the Community Action Partnership of Madison County, Karing Kitchen, the BOCES Consortium of Continuing Education, Madison County Reads Ahead, and the Madison County Literacy Coalition plus a community room offering special programs like diabetes education and smoking cessation classes, volunteer training events and public health outreach.
"What better place than the proposed Gorman Foundation Community Center, which is the right niche for our free clinic because it would sit amongst other not-for-profits that service a similar population," Martyn said. "I am looking forward to moving into this spacious layout, which I am sure will enable us to enhance care of our uninsured patients."
Martyn is the campaign chair for a fundraiser to finance the purchase of equipment for the new Mary Rose Center. The fundraiser is looking to raise $300,000 to pay for the cost of all of the special renovations required to house the free clinic in the Gorman Foundation Community Center, plus to outfit the additional exam rooms, waiting rooms and administrative offices with the necessary equipment.
The fundraiser kicked off on June 17 and will end once the money is raised and the clinic is completed. Martyn and her colleagues of Oneida Medical Associates have already made a commitment to donate $21,000 to the cause. An anonymous donor also came forward during the first week of the fundraiser with a pledge of $30,000.
Currently, the Mary Rose Center only has two dedicated examination rooms. The new clinic will have five exam rooms plus three intake rooms for the prescription assistance program, insurance enrollers and community health advocates to work in. Each room will need to be outfitted with desks, cabinets, and office supplies to best serve patients.
The clinic expects to more than double their capacity and hopes to eventually extend hours of operation into other days of the week as a result.
Gorman Foundation president, Amanda Larson, who is also a clinic and campaign volunteer, said the Gorman Foundation is a lead donor, purchasing the space for them to use rent free. She said she expects an expansion in volunteer staff at the clinic once the new facility is open.
"Right now we have so many people willing to volunteer but can't accommodate them in our current location," Larson said. "We don't have the space to assemble patient education packets or have people work on filing at the same time the clinic is running. Too many people in a very tight space create chaos. We currently have five doctors who volunteer regularly but would love to have more join our team, especially those available to help us open on additional days or nights of the week."
The Mary Rose Clinic has seen some 1,060 patients to date, making up around 2,550 patient visits since it opened in December 2010. While the new clinic will be around 4,000 square feet, the current facility is only 700, making for rather cramped quarters.
"We often have to put a sign on our door turning people away when we reach about 30 patients signed in for the four hours we are open," Larson said. "Ideally, in the new space, we can accommodate more volunteer doctors and get more patients in and out easier with more rooms. "
The bulk of the construction is expected to be completed by the end of summer, while the outfitting of exam rooms with the needed equipment will take a bit longer.
While the campaign is for the Mary Rose Center, donations will go through the Community Action Partnership, their 501c3 fiscal sponsor. Executive Director Julie Dale said the services of the clinic have been well-received by the uninsured people of Central New York.
"In just over two years of operation, the Mary Rose Center has proven there is a very real regional need and demand for a free clinic such as ours and we've been blessed with volunteer doctors, nurses and staff who agree and have stepped forward to help," she said.
Anyone wanting to donate to the campaign should contact Dale at 315-684-3144.
The Mary Rose Center is named for Larson's grandmother and Martyn's patient, Mary Rose Durfee of Sherrill. The clinic is currently located at 1072 Northside Shopping Center in Oneida and open Wednesdays from 4 to 8 p.m. No appointments are necessary.
Call them at 315-280-0855, fax to 315-367-0031, or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on their offerings.

Grabban gives Yeovil runaround
Lewis Grabban scored his seventh goal in as many games as play-off chasing Bournemouth thumped Yeovil 3-0 at Dean Court.
Last Updated: 26/12/12 7:37pm
Lewis Grabban scored his seventh goal in as many games as play-off chasing Bournemouth thumped Yeovil 3-0 at Dean Court.
A goal in each half by Grabban and Harry Arter, prior to Brett Pitman's late penalty, earned the Cherries a 12th win in a remarkable run of 14 unbeaten matches.
Grabban's fine goalscoring form has been a major factor in Bournemouth's success since manager Eddie Howe returned to the south-coast club.
The striker gave Bournemouth a 32nd-minute lead. Grabban troubled the Yeovil defence with his pace throughout and his clinical move on the left with Marc Pugh set up a richly-deserved ninth goal of the season.
Stretching Yeovil on the flanks, Bournemouth had several opportunities to improve on Grabban's first-half goal before Arter doubled the lead when he drilled a fierce 73rd-minute left-footed shot into Marek Stech's top corner.
Yeovil had their chances, notably efforts from Jamie McAllister and a header from Dominic Blizzard, which looped just over the crossbar, before Pitman wrapped things up from the penalty spot.
Luke Ayling handled and Pitman made it 3-0 from the penalty spot for his first Cherries goal since his return from Bristol City.

Since I was out of green paint, I decided we would make some. Around Christmas time, we painted cookies with egg yolk paint for the first time. The colors were so vibrant - it was perfect for our bright jungle scene. I took and separated 5 egg yolks from the whites and put them into separate dishes. I wanted to be able to make several shades of green.
I let the girls add food coloring to the egg yolks and mix them together.
Our five shades of green are all ready to go.
The girls used a small sponge brush to coat one side of the leaf with the paint, then they stamped it onto their paper (I had some left over posterboard that I cut to size). Both of them got the hang of the process quickly and went to work covering their papers. They had fun using different types of foliage and flower petals to do their printing.

International Driver's License
An international driver's license or permit is a foreign translation of your existing DMV driver's license for use when you are traveling outside the United States. It is invalid alone, but can be helpful when accompanied by a valid driver's license.
These licenses are issued by your local AAA but are not issued to persons whose driving privilege is suspended or revoked. Beware of offers from entities selling an international driver's license that cannot be suspended or revoked. These licenses are NOT VALID and are not authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Visitors or military personnel holding an international license issued by a foreign country may operate a vehicle in this country, but only if the international license is accompanied by a valid driver's license issued by the person's home country.
Residents and non-residents are required to hold a valid driver's license before operating a motor vehicle in the Commonwealth. Driving using a fake or counterfeit license is the same as driving without a license. Driving without a license is a Class 2 misdemeanor and carries a penalty of up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Depending on the circumstances, mere possession of a counterfeit or fake license could be a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Beginning July 1, 2006, Virginia law makes it illegal for anyone to distribute documents represented as a license to operate a motor vehicle. This law makes it a violation for anyone to sell, give or distribute any document purporting to be a license to operate a motor vehicle in the Commonwealth. Only the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is legally authorized to issue driver's licenses. The offense is punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor, carrying a penalty of up to 12 months in jail and a fine of not more than $2,500. DMV encourages anyone with information about this type of fraudulent activity to call the DMV Zero Fraud hotline at 1-877-ZERO-FRAUD (1-877-937-6372).

CHICAGO—The American College of Surgeons is deeply disturbed over the uninformed public comments President Obama continues to make about the high-quality care provided by surgeons in the United States. When the President makes statements that are incorrect or not based in fact, we think he does a disservice to the American people at a time when they want clear, understandable facts about health care reform. We want to set the record straight.
Yesterday during a town hall meeting, President Obama got his facts completely wrong. He stated that a surgeon gets paid $50,000 for a leg amputation when, in fact, Medicare pays a surgeon between $740 and $1,140 for a leg amputation. This payment also includes the evaluation of the patient on the day of the operation plus patient follow-up care that is provided for 90 days after the operation. Private insurers pay some variation of the Medicare reimbursement for this service.
Three weeks ago, the President suggested that a surgeon's decision to remove a child's tonsils is based on the desire to make a lot of money. That remark was ill-informed and dangerous, and we were dismayed by this characterization of the work surgeons do. Surgeons make decisions about recommending operations based on what's right for the patient.
We agree with the President that the best thing for patients with diabetes is to manage the disease proactively to avoid the bad consequences that can occur, including blindness, stroke, and amputation. But as is the case for a person who has been treated for cancer and still needs to have a tumor removed, or a person who is in a terrible car crash and needs access to a trauma surgeon, there are times when even a perfectly managed diabetic patient needs a surgeon. The President's remarks are truly alarming and run the risk of damaging the all-important trust between surgeons and their patients.
We assume that the President made these mistakes unintentionally, but we would urge him to have his facts correct before making another inflammatory and incorrect statement about surgeons and surgical care.
About the American College of SurgeonsThe American College of Surgeons is a scientific and educational organization of surgeons that was founded in 1913 to raise the standards of surgical practice and to improve the care of the surgical patient. The College is dedicated to the ethical and competent practice of surgery. Its achievements have significantly influenced the course of scientific surgery in America and have established it as an important advocate for all surgical patients. The College has more than 74,000 members and is the largest organization of surgeons in the world.

I think Obama is going to blame his teleprompter for this pack of lies/mistakes. I guess he or no other person in his administration is intelligent enough to get the facts correct. Or, maybe they don't want to get the facts correct. It is very scary how our President can be so blatantly stupid and wrong in public.

If Jim Mollica gets his Christmas wish, the new Lexus dealership on U.S. 278 that will serve the Bluffton-Hilton Head-Hardeeville market will open before the holiday next week.
Workers at the 23,000-square-foot location that sits on 3 acres in front of Walmart have been working almost around the clock to get the project done. The 14 months it has taken since getting the green light and opening the doors is probably a record, said Mollica, chief operating officer for Toyota, Lexus and Subaru and the man in charge of the new location in the Lowcountry. He said it typically takes three years to open a new dealership and customers have been asking for seven or eight years to get a dealership that serves that area in South Carolina.
To say there has been anticipation is putting it mildly.
Mollica said last week they received a call from someone who wanted to make an appointment at the new dealership because he wanted to get the first oil change.
"We all want it done before Christmas," Mollica said.
Armstrong Atlantic State University student Justin Brown, who grew up in Savannah, was busy painting last week. He was chosen from other local artists to put his touch on the dealership and also painted the ceiling in service drop-off area.
The Hilton Head Lexus dealership was awarded to Chatham Parkway Lexus of Savannah by Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales and represents a $6.5 million investment. It will employ about 40 people.
Mollica said the dealership still needs sales and service people. There will be five service advisers and Mollica anticipates customers from Beaufort and other areas will start coming to the new dealership because it is more convenient than going to the Savannah location.
Mollica himself lives in Bluffton and said he plans to spend a day a week working at the new location.
"Lexus is a market leader. We will increase our reach and provide great customer service with this location," he said.
A lot of the people who will work at the new location have been training and working at the Chatham location.
The new location will provide customers convenience and when they come for service they will be offered free manicures, an espresso bar, flat-screen TVs and other amenities like the dealership on Chatham Parkway has.
Mollica said last fall when the new dealership was approved that business at the Chatham location had been really good and the time was right to open a dealership to serve the South Carolina market. He said they have worked for about two years to make the dealership come to fruition.
The company also has made an investment.
About $400,000 was spent on equipment for the shop," Mollica said. The upstairs has an additional 3,000 square feet that can be used for future growth.
In February, a formal grand opening will probably be held. But for now, getting the dealership open by Tuesday is the goal - and one Mollica plans to make good on.

By Laura Pottorff, Cooperative Extension agent, horticulture, plant pathology
Houseplants are the latest word in household cleaning.
Research now shows that houseplants play an important role in cleaning the air we breath, both indoors and out.
Plants produce their own food through a process called photosynthesis. This means they take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. Photosynthesis "cleans" our air by absorbing carbon dioxide and by taking in certain other pollutants, as well.
A team of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) researchers lead by Dr. Bill Wolverton tested the effect of fifteen house plants on three pollutants known to be present in spacecrafts. These same three pollutants--benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene--are present in homes and office buildings. They occur because they are emitted from furnishings, office equipment and some building materials.
Under controlled conditions, in the NASA study, certain houseplants were found to remove as much as 87 percent of indoor air pollutants within 24 hours.
Until recently, indoor air pollution was not considered a health threat; most homes and public buildings leaked so much that air often was replaced every couple of hours. But during the 1970's, after energy shortages occurred, more and more of us began to insulate our houses and office buildings to conserve energy and lower heating and cooling costs. As a result, indoor air might linger for five hours or more allowing pollutants to accumulate.
Researchers are just beginning to understand how indoor pollutants such as cigarette smoke, for example, can harm humans. Effects range from skin and eye irritations to headaches and allergies. Some of the pollutants may be carcinogenic. According to the NASA study, the plants listed below proved effective in removing certain indoor air pollutants.
Troubleshooting Pollutants with Plants
Pollutant: Benzene
Source: Inks, oils, paints, plastics, rubber, dyes, detergents,gasoline, pharmaceutical, tobacco smoke, synthetic fibers
Plants that Remove Pollutant: English Ivy, Dracaena marginata, Janet Craig, Warneckei, Chrysanthemum, Gerbera Daisy, Peace lily
Pollutant: Trichloroethylene
Source: Primarily used in the metal degreasing and dry cleaning industries; also in printing inks, paints, lacquers, varnishes, adhesives
Plants that Remove Pollutant: Gerbera Daisy, Chrysanthemum, Peace lily, Warneckei, Dracaena marginata
Pollutant: Formaldehyde
Source: Foam insulation, plywood, pressed-wood products, grocery bags, waxed paper, fire retardants, adhesive binders in floor coverings, cigarette smoke, natural gas
Plants that Remove Pollutant: Azalea, Philodendron, Spider plant, Golden Pothos, Bamboo palm, Corn plant, Chrysanthemum, Mother-in-law's tongue
The NASA researchers suggest that for the test plants to be effective "air cleaners" it is necessary to use 1 potted plant per 100 square feet of home or office space. Indeed, it would appear that plants have many useful qualities, including one of making our indoor air cleaner to breath.*

Deadly blasts strike Pakistan election office
Date created : Latest update :
At least three people were killed and 22 others were wounded after twin bombs exploded near a local political party office in Karachi, Pakistan on Saturday, heightening tensions ahead of the country's historic election on May 11.
Two blasts in Pakistan's southern city of Karachi killed three people near the office of a political party critical of the Taliban, a police officer said, heightening tensions ahead of the country's historic May 11 election.
Police officer Aamir Farooqi said the explosions late Saturday also wounded another 22 people. A spokesman for the Taliban, Ahsanullah Ahsan, claimed responsibility.
Pakistan has been experiencing a wave of violence connected to historic elections scheduled for next Saturday, mostly at the hands of Taliban militants targeting various political parties and their candidates. The vote will be the country's first transfer of power from one elected civilian government to another.
Farooqi said the explosions went off near the offices of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, the biggest political party in the city. It is one of three liberal, secular parties that have been targeted by Taliban militants across the country, likely due to their support for military action against militants that operate from Pakistan's tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
It was the second day in a row that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement found itself under attack. Gunmen Friday riding on a motorcycle killed a prominent party activist from the political party.
Also on Friday in Karachi, gunmen riding a motorcycle shot to death a parliamentary candidate from the Awami National Party, and his 6-year-old son.
The Awami National Party has been repeatedly targeted by the Taliban because of its opposition to the militants.
No one claimed responsibility for the Friday attacks.
Gunmen in Islamabad on Friday also killed the lead Pakistani prosecutor in two high-profile cases - the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, and the brutal assault on civilians in Mumbai.
Nobody claimed responsibility for the killing of Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali, but his work put him in frequent conflict with militants. Ali was gunned down while he was driving to court in the normally quiet capital.

Finally - my MPA runneth over
At last - somebody has done the work and provided some proof that the MPA spillover effect is real.
Hugo Harrison and others have just put out a paper in Current Biology which indicates that at their study site in Australia "reserves, which account for just 28% of the local reef area, produced approximately half of all juvenile recruitment to both reserve and fished reefs within 30 km". They conclude - and I concur - that this provides "compelling evidence that adequately protected reserve networks can make a significant contribution to the replenishment of populations on both reserve and fished reefs at a scale that benefits local stakeholders."
[see Harrison et al (in press) Larval Export from Marine Reserves and the Recruitment Benefit for Fish and Fisheries. Current Biology (2012), doi:10.1016/j.cub.2012.04.008]
I have always maintained that the precautionary approach should be applied to MPAs with fisheries goals - that the risk of displaced fishermen collapsing the stocks in surrounding areas may outweigh any benefits that MPAs may produce in terms of providing recruitment to surrounding fisheries. MPAs with fisheries management objectives need to be accompanied by firm fishery management measures in surrounding areas, or alternative fishing opportunities or livelihoods. But usually MPAs are promoted as a substitute for fishery management measures, especially in developing countries where it is difficult to institute these. I was concerned that the downside could well outweigh the upside of fisheries MPAs, both in terms of maintaining overall stock biomass, and in terms of maintaining community livelihoods.
Everyone accepts that MPAs lead to recovery of non-highly migratory fish populations within their boundaries, and can thus satisfy conservation goals. But for the first time we are seeing good evidence that the "MPA spillover effect" may well compensate for the increased fishing pressure on surrounding areas, and may thus contribute positively towards fishery sustainability goals. If 50% of the recruitment in the total area can be provided from an MPA covering 27% of this area in Australia - a country with the most stringent fishery management regime in the world - then in countries where the stocks are in worse shape the relative contribution of mature MPAs to recruitment in surrounding areas is likely to be even greater.
In short, the requirements of the precautionary approach - where an action that is suspected to be deleterious needs to be subject to a certain level of proof before that action is taken - are being satisfied when it comes to MPAs with fisheries objectives.
Of course, to be good sources of larval recruitment for surrounding areas, the fish in these reserves need to be protected from other deleterious impacts and not just from fishing. They need to be protected from pollution, agricultural runoff, reclamation, oil exploration and substrate mining amongst other things.
But by now, of course, everyone recognises this to be a no-brainer. Don't they?

By Dennis Prager March 25, 2003
See also: International Solidarity Movement The one-year anniversary of the demise of Rachel Corrie did not pass without fanfare. Rachel's mother and others on the Left observed the cosmic event by condemning alleged Israeli (and U.S.) intransigence in the investigation of the death. In the Boston Globe of March 18, 2004, Rachel Corrie's mother wrote:
"Rachel was an unarmed peace activist trying to prevent the demolition of the home of a Palestinian pharmacist, his wife, and three children. She believed that nonviolent direct action against the Israeli occupation would make Palestinians, and also Israelis and Americans, more secure. Rachel stood there to protect a home and family in Gaza because the United States and Israel rejected a UN proposal to send international human rights monitors there. International activists went instead. Rachel stood there protesting illegal home demolitions that the United States opposes on the record yet fails to stop – destruction that we support with billions in annual military aid to Israel for bulldozers, Apache helicopters, F-16s, and more." Corrie blocked the bulldozer's path while it was destroying the entrance to a weapons smuggling tunnel. The house she was said to be protecting was not destroyed the day she died because it was not a target. It was demolished almost a year later under other circumstances. Mrs. Corrie went on to demand that the United States run its own investigation into her daughter's death, and reject the conclusions from Israel's own official investigation, which concluded that Corrie had been struck accidentally by a bulldozer operator who was unable to see her, blaming Corrie herself for blocking the bulldozer in the middle of its operation. In other statements, the Corrie family has been far more bellicose, denouncing Israel for maintaining an "illegal occupation of Palestinian lands." What are we to make of this new Corrie family jihad? For those whose memories fail them in this matter, let me refresh things. Rachel Corrie was a young fanatic college student from Washington State, who decided she could make the world a better place by showing her solidarity with Middle East terrorism and Palestinian mass murderers. She joined the International Solidarity Movement, a communist-anarchist group who openly support Palestinian terrorism. Corrie set up shop in the Gaza Strip, where she and her ISM comrades spent their days trying to harass and provoke Israeli troops and interfere with Israel's anti-terrorist military operations. They would set up obstacles on roads to prevent Israeli troops and otherwise assist and defend the terrorists. The ISM is probably the campus organization most upfront about its support for the Palestinian "right" to engage in terrorism, and that is saying quite a lot these days! In one confrontation with the Israelis, Corrie was trying to block an army bulldozer that was knocking down homes of terrorists and buildings hiding tunnels through which weapons and explosives were being smuggled into Israel. These tunnels brought weapons from Egypt to the Gaza city of Rafiah. One of these homes might have been that which Corrie's parents describe as that of an "innocent pharmacist." Corrie and her ISM comrades wanted to help protect the Gaza smuggling tunnels. Rachel Corrie put herself in a position where the bulldozer driver could not see her, and she was dragged under the heavy machine. She died in a PLO ambulance or hospital shortly thereafter. The ISM then issued a host of "eyewitness" reports about the accident, which turned out to be fabrications. The simple fact of the matter was that Corrie had figured the Israeli bulldozer driver could be cowed into backing off if he saw her blocking his access to the terrorist house; she probably figured correctly, except that he did not see her from his limited-visibility window in the rig.Ever since, Rachel Corrie has become the matron martyr saint for the pro-terrorism Left, the Joan of Arc of Palestinian terrorism. Her ISM friends declared she was "murdered" intentionally by Israel (see for example http://www.rachelcorrie.org/ ). Her death has been exploited by the Bash-Israel movement and by anti-Semites all over the world, as a means to delegitimize Israel. The PLO adopted her as mascot, declaring that she died "fighting Israel's security fence"; never mind that Israel did not begin building the security fence until well after she was dead.Later other ISM activists were also injured when they put themselves in the middle of firefights, started when the PLO would fire on Israelis, and – like Corrie – they were injured and one other died trying to protect those terrorists from Israelis shooting back. In this other case of a death of ISM member Tom Hurndall, the ISM led a worldwide campaign to demonize the soldier who shot him. Ironically, it turned out the soldier who shot Hurndall was an Arab Bedouin patriot living in Israel and serving in the Israeli military. Corrie's own parents have gone on their own revenge, touring the world to demonize Israel, and represent daughter Rachel as a "victim of Israel's illegal occupation." They and other ISM supporters have been organizing a boycott of the Caterpiller Corporation, because it sells machines to Israel, including the one with which Corrie chose to face down a year ago. The Corrie parents insist that Rachel was there to promote non-violence and brotherly love. But Rachel and her ISM friends of course believed in nothing of the sort and were doing nothing of the sort. The official ISM web site endorses "armed struggle" by Palestinians, which means random mass murders of Israeli children. Corrie died as a result of her own stupidity. She was in Gaza to help promote Palestinian terrorism and to prevent Israel from protecting its own citizens. She died protecting the illegal tunnels into Gaza from Egypt, through which the suicide bombers obtained their materials. The most lasting images of Corrie was of her face contorted with rage and as she burned an American flag. When Reuters reported that Palestinians "honored" her after her death in a "symbolic funeral" by flying U.S. flags, James Taranto from the Wall Street Journal remarked that if Corrie were still alive, no doubt she'd have burned the flags. Even the far-Left Mother Jones magazine considers her a dangerous and deluded little twit. The Israeli army investigated the death and concluded that Corrie had effectively committed suicide. Taranto also suggested that Corrie be awarded the "Idiotarian of the Year Award" for playing chicken with a huge earth-mover. The ISM is not simply an innocent, if evil, fringe debating society. Within Israeli territories, its members have actively collaborated with terrorists. They hid weapons and wanted terrorists in their offices. The local ISM offices hosted two Moslem suicide bombers from the UK, who had entered Israel as "peace activists," only to blow a Tel Aviv bar to smithereens the next day. The ISM is so closely coordinated with the PLO that it is for all intents and purposes nothing more than a PLO front group (which means that Rachel Corrie in effect died as a member of the PLO). More recently, ISM trouble-makers have been trying to sabotage Israel's security fence, lest the fence prevent some Palestinian mass murderers from blowing up Israeli children and other civilians. Yet despite the open endorsement of terror by ISM, it continues to enjoy U.S. tax-exempt status as a "charity" and continues to enjoy gifts of megabucks from the usual culprits who fund the pro-terrorist Left. The liberal press continues to coo over the ISM as if it were a "peace group." The Israeli government has been too pusillanimous, cowed by its fear of bad press, to send the ISM trouble makers packing. While the ISM demonizes Israel, the very fact that it has been allowed to continue to operate its provocations within Israeli-controlled territory attests to how liberal and tolerant Israel is and has been. It is no coincidence that the same ISM people protecting homes of suicide bombers in the Gaza Strip and West Bank would never dare place themselves in jeopardy by blocking, say, U.S. troops arresting Saddam Hussein in his Tikrit rat-hole, or al-Qaeda facilities in Afghanistan. The Corrie parents are not urging other deluded young undergraduates to rush to Fallujah and Najaf to defend the homes of Iraqi terrorists under siege by American GIs to protest American "occupation" of Iraq. The ISM designer-jean "revolutionaries" and mall-Marxists would be mowed down mercilessly if they tried interfering with anti-terrorism operations anywhere in the world but Israel. In the year after Corries death, she and the other ISM supporters were lionized by the Western media. The Europeans and the American liberal newspapers continue to commemorate Rachel Corrie through attacking Israel every time it tries to deter terror by knocking down the home of a suicide bomber or by tearing down houses protecting smuggling tunnels or Gaza rocket production workshops (although more than 200 Palestinian rockets were fired into Israeli civilian areas from the Gaza Strip last year alone). And some of the most ferocious denunciations of Israel's actions against terrorist homes have come from Britain - from the BBC, the Economist, the New Statesman, and the British Foreign Office. I mention the British in particular because a few days ago, the British government responded to the murders of two school children there by demolishing the house of the murderer. Yes, the British blew up the house of a mass murderer! The very same British media who denounce Israel as a "terrorist state" every time it blows up the home of a Palestinian suicide bomber have actually celebrated and justified an identical demolition, smack in the middle of the UK, no less! You see, in the town of Soham, which is on the West Bank of the River Great Ouse in the eastern UK, one Ian Huntley had murdered two schoolgirl settlers. A few days ago, the local township demolished the property as a way to deter other would-be mass murderers and child-molesters. Initiators of the demolition felt the house was a painful reminder to all of a horrific crime, and so it should be erased from the face of the earth. Moreover, this came in the tracks of other properties of killers and murderers in the UK that were also demolished in a similar fashion. Now where were the ISM pro-terrorists? Why were they not protecting the home of the murderer of the two girls as a gesture to prove their devotion to love and peace? How come the Bash-Israel urchins were not out marching down the avenue to protest this Soham war crime and genocide by the British authorities? Why weren't the Corrie parents denouncing Britain's illegal occupation of the Isle of Man and Jersey? Why did no one report this abuse of human rights to the World Court in the Hague, or urge the Belgians to indict Tony Blair for this crime? Shortly after her death, columnist Dennis Prager wrote to Corrie's native Washingtonian parents: "So, Olympia, grieve for Rachel Corrie's parents, but spare us the hagiography. Rachel Corrie died fighting for . . . a Palestinian group dedicated, in its own words, to "armed struggle" against Israel. She ended up being a useful idiot for, and one more victim of, Palestinian terror." Nothing could sum things up better.

WTO and government procurement
Government procurement accounts for 10-15 per cent of the GDP of an economy on average. It constitutes a significant market and an important aspect of international trade. The WTO's work on government procurement aims to promote transparency, integrity and competition in this market.
back to top
Government agencies often need to purchase goods and services with public resources and for public purposes to fulfil their functions. Such purchases are generally referred to as government/public procurement.
Achieving 'value for money' is a primary aim of most procurement regimes. But how? Open, transparent and non-discriminatory procurement is generally considered to be the best tool to achieve this goal as it optimises competition among suppliers. At the same time, there are competing policy goals: many governments also make use of government procurement to achieve other domestic policy goals, such as the promotion of specific local industry sectors or social groups.
Providing preferential treatment for domestic goods, services and suppliers discriminates against foreign suppliers and therefore acts as a trade barrier in this sector. These barriers are not addressed by the multilateral rules of the WTO as government procurement is explicitly exempted from the main disciplines of both the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT see Article III: 8a) and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS see Article XIII:1).
The liberalization of government procurement markets holds the potential to generate benefits both in terms of procurement efficiency and commercial interests. Therefore, WTO members have worked on this issue on three fronts, namely via:
(i) the plurilateral Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA)
(ii) Doha Development Agenda (DDA) Working Group on Transparency in Government Procurement (which is currently inactive)
(iii) GATS negotiations on government procurement.
Among these three areas, work on the GPA is the most active and has produced substantial trade liberalization. On 6 April 2014, the revised GPA came into force and marks a significant milestone of the WTO.
In addition, the WTO Secretariat has been undertaking technical cooperation activities to assist developing and least-developed countries in participating effectively in the WTO's work on government procurement.

Obtaining referrals for providers outside HMO networks
Last Reviewed: November 1, 2001
We suggest you contact the psychologist in question to determine if they has any interest in attempting to negotiate a special rate for providing counseling services. You should simultaneously contact your employer's benefits office for assistance. There's no guarantee that the HMO will agree to such an arrangement. However, in some instances, they will make special arrangements for an individual patient. Finally, we suggest you also directly contact the HMO's Medical Director to discuss the situation.

W.H.A.T. Tackles RENT in First 24-Hour Musical Challenge, 1/25-26
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. . well, they'll have more like 1,440.
That translates into exactly 24 hours in which a few dozen young actors, actresses, musicians, costumers and technical staff have to rehearse, choreograph, stage and produce a full production of the musical "Rent".
The West Hudson Arts & Theater Company (W.H.A.T.) is planning its first Annual 24-Hour Musical Challenge which will asks participants to enter the W.H.A.T. Theater at 7 p.m. tonight, January 25th. Exactly one day later, on Saturday, January 26th at 7 p.m., they will take the stage and present the rock musical "Rent".
Many theatre fans are familiar with the concept of a 24-hour musical; a group of performers come together exactly one day before their curtain is due to rise, and begin to learn and rehearse a musical.
"This is literally a full show, produced entirely in one day," says W.H.A.T. Artistic Director Joe Ferriero. In the W.H.A.T. challenge those participating were actually told 2 weeks before that their challenge would be the award-winning musical "Rent," he noted. Everything else -- the script, the cast, costumes, set and even the production staff's roles -- are kept a secret. "We will work throughout the night and into the next day in a creative- and I'm sure caffeine-fueled, diligent setting to bring this show to the stage," he added.
The idea for the Challenge was presented to the W.H.A.T. by Kearny resident Faith D'Isa, a musical theater major at High Tech High School. "It began with my wanting to do something different for my 18th birthday," she explained, "and the 24-hour musical challenge was always something that intrigued me." She proposed hosting the challenge as a fundraiser for W.H.A.T. "We have asked everyone involved to make a donation to the theater," she added. Other funds will be raised by the tickets sold to Saturday night's show.
"We loved the idea," said Ferriero, who refers to the 24-hour challenge as the new 'flash mob'. "Its fun, fresh, and we think a perfect way to expose W.H.A.T. to new audiences. Participants are from communities throughout Hudson County including Hoboken, Jersey City, and Weehawken and other towns including Verona and East Hanover.
"We can't wait for this group of talented, creative young people to come together for such a unique theatrical undertaking," said Michele Sarnoski, who will serve as director of the Challenge.
Tickets for the performance of "Rent" on Saturday, January 26th are $7. They can be purchased online at www.whatco.org by calling 201-467-8624, or at the W.H.A.T. Theater, 131 Midland Avenue, Kearny, NJ.


text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock indexes declined 0.7% Thursday as the battle over the U.S. budget resumed in Washington. "We've got continued uncertainty and probably not much progress on the fiscal cliff," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago. "From a game-theory perspective, it's in many Democrats and Republicans best interests not to negotiate a deal right away and push it into the next year," Ablin said. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.20% fell 87.32 points to 13,026.27. The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.44% shed 9.66 points to 1,410.17. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.67% lost 19.83 points to 2,970.29.

Despite the financial crisis that started in 2007, global household wealth increased by $117 trillion between 2000 and 2011. Not only that, it's set to rise by more than 50 percent in the next five years from $231 trillion in 2011 to $345 trillion by 2016. So say the authors of the latest annual Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report 2011 from the Credit Suisse Research Institute.
The report states that net worth per adult should reach $70,700 by 2016, a 40 percent increase on 2011. China is expected to add a total of $18 trillion to the stock of global wealth in the next five years and surpass Japan as the second wealthiest country in the world. The US though, should remain on top of the wealth league with $81 trillion by 2016.
"According to our estimates," the report states, "China will replace Japan as the second wealthiest country in the world, with total household wealth of $39 trillion in 2016, compared to $31 trillion for Japan. The US is expected to maintain its supremacy in the wealth ranking, with a projected total household wealth of $82 trillion. Well behind in fourth and fifth places are France and Germany with $20.1 trillion and 19.6 trillion, respectively."
Asian escalation
Over the next five years, the authors of the Global Wealth Report predict a big improvement in the position of emerging economies. Wealth in both China and Africa as a whole is projected to rise by more than 90 percent but India and Brazil are forecast to do even better, with personal wealth more than doubling by 2016.
Using the course of US wealth in the 20th Century as a yardstick, Africa's total wealth of $3 trillion is comparable to total US wealth in 1908. Even though Africa is expected to grow considerably in the next five years, it will rise only to the level of the US in 1928, so the improvement equates to 20 'US years'.
In striking contrast, India currently has a total household wealth of $4.1 trillion, which is comparable to the US in 1916. Over the next five years, India is projected to gain as much wealth as the US achieved over 30 years from 1916, bringing it to about $9 trillion.
China currently has $20.1 trillion, equivalent to the US in 1968. If recent trends continue, China will jump '22 US years' in the next five years and achieve the wealth level the US reached in 1990.
Who wants to be millionaire?
Focusing on the top tier of the wealth distribution pyramid, the Global Wealth Report authors estimate that the number of global millionaires will rise by 17 million over the next five years to reach a total of nearly 47 million by 2016.
While the number of millionaires in emerging economies will remain well below the levels in the US (12.6 million) or Europe (18.5 million), the report states that the authors expect the process of catching up to be very evident in the next five years (see chart). Here in the UAE, the 40,000 millionaires here is expected to increase by 35 percent to 54,000.
China should more than double its number of millionaires to about 2.4 million by 2016 and the number in India and Taiwan are both predicted to rise above half a million for the first time.
In Africa, the number of millionaires is expected to treble to 367,000 in 2016, with especially large contributions from South Africa (243,000) and Egypt (92,000). Projections for Latin America suggest a total of 1.4 million millionaires by 2016, led by Brazil with 815,000 and Mexico with 344,000.

Secrets of Thriving Children
Sally Goddard Blythe
Young children love creative play, stories, nursery rhymes and games. These are not only good fun, but are also good for the brain.
Sally Goddard Blythe analyses why early movement matters, and how games develop children's skills at different stages of development. She offers a handy starter kit of stories, action games, songs and rhymes, and explains:
- Why movement is an essential ingredient for healthy brain development
- Why music, song, lullabies and nursery rhymes prepare the brain for language
- How fairy tales can help children face their fears in in safety
- How rough and tumble play develops the neural circuits for creativity and self-regulation
- The links between learning problems and sedentary lifestyles and overexposure to electronic media
- What to look out for if your child does not seem to be "ready" for school.
By special invitation, Jane Williams of Toddler Kindy GymbaROO offers her favorite baby massage rhymes, with action songs, finger play and more rhymes to inspire families.
1 Review
Blythe's book is a densely packed tour through early childhood fun and games. If you choose to use it less as a reading book, and more as a reference book, it will provide fodder for fun and stimulating activities for your young child. To satisfy those of us that do enjoy some trivia with our tools, however, the book opens with some important points on child development and why stories, rhymes and songs are so valuable for our children's well-being. As an added bonus, she offers introductions to each activity, explaining some of the history behind it. For example, I never knew that Humpty Dumpty was based on a wartime cannon!
The Genius of Natural Childhood is so full of rhymes, fingerplays, songs and stories that it would serve parents or educators well as a reference book or to be incorporated into the classroom curriculum, from infants to preschoolers.

Celebrated one of my best friends, (Sharon)'s, 21st birthday last Saturday! We really wanted to make this day special for her so we brought her out on a day full of new experiences. :) We first took her to a dog-petting zoo where she pet a dog for the first time in her life. HAHA I'm not even kidding, she's always so scared of dogs that she always runs away from one. So when she officially became a woman, we just had to make her face her fear of dogs!

Sooo many adorable doggies!!!!
I'm a dog whisperer :')
Who am I kidding, HAHA I wish though. I spent ages trying to attract their attention and they all ran away upon my touch or reach. After awhile I gave up and bought treats ($3/pkt) to bribe them.. #sadtruth
What a brave girl.
Headed to Genki Sushi for lunch afterwards to fill our starving tummies and we also exchanged belated Christmas presents! We brought her to play escape room after that and I must say I'm proud of our performance HAHA. Okay yeah we did click the button for hints quite a lot of times but we did actually solve a decent amount by ourselves k!!!

So for the past few years, Sharon has been bugging us to accompany her to GMAX's Reverse Bungy but two of us are cowards (yes, I'm one of the two) and the other one just never found the time to. We decided to make her dream come true for her 21st, thinking that she would love the idea of it since she has been talking about it for years. But to our surprise... She was super against the idea HAHAHA she kept repeating that she became more scared of these kinda things over the years and didn't want to do it. Butttt we managed to convince her in the end and she went on!! She sat on the ride with Renee and another stranger of course (because I'm sorry Sharon but I'm not going up there) and ended up loving it. She even wanted to go on it again for the second time straight away. ;)

God, I love these girls! It's now been 4/5/6 years since we all became best friends and I'm proud to say that even though we don't meet/talk often, It really makes me happy to know that some things will never change. Seeing all four of us high on happiness and just smiling so happily throughout the entire day is just so heartwarming to think about. I'm glad that I can still always count on the three of you.
Happy 21st once again Sharon! I hope it was a birthday you'll never forget. :) x
