About Instructors
Customer Reviews
- Fairview, Utah 5 Stars
I'm 21 years old, attending college, and I've 'danced' all my life. I know how to do a box-step in waltz, and a few rough patterns here and there. I've always wanted to learn how to dance properly, but I don't live near any dance studios, and picking up patterns from my peers never seems to work very well. So, I decided to give Dance Vision a try, even though I fall under the 'starving college student' category.
Ron and Karla do an amazing job in this DVD. The steps are clearly shown, as well as key points and things to avoid. Ron takes plenty of time to show exercises one can practice to learn the Cha-Cha 'motion'.
What impressed me the most is the way that the figures are demonstrated. Ron and Karla don't just show how to dance 15 patterns, they show how to enjoy the dance. Each time they demonstrated the previous 5 figures my jaw dropped, I could just feel the love they have for dancing, and that I can have too.
Definitely worth every penny. I'm so excited to start mastering these steps. I've since ordered 7 more DVDs in Cha-Cha, East Coast Swing, and Waltz, (remember, starving college student) I'm so confident in Dance Vision's products.
6 Stars if I could!

- Wheaton, Illinois, USA 5 Stars
Bronze American Rhythm: Ron's explanations are detailed and clear, which makes learning a joy. Despite his years of advanced experience, he is able to reach back and recall details necessary to make steps work for the beginning and intermediate dancer. As in all Dancevision DVDs, steps are demonstrated multiple times from different angles, broken down individually for the man and lady, with additional time spent on details necessary to make the steps work in partner position. Ron's expertise and explanations are the primary focus on these DVDs, but it should be mentioned that Karla is a beautiful and extremely professional dancer as well. Just learning the 15 steps and technique covered on these Bronze level DVDs puts you in the top quarter of social dancers at any event you'll attend in the future. The secret: if you're teaching yourself from these DVDs, pay attention to all the visual details. Learn the steps by listening and practicing, then come back again and notice things that are different between your steps and what you see on the DVD (a video camera during practice is excellent for this). Make corrections and be prepared to graciously take compliments on your dancing the next time you're out.
- Muncie, IN 5 Stars
My name is Joe Kaufeld, an instructor-in-training of ballroom dance at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. As part of learning the steps to teach, I was granted access to the DVIDA bronze syllabus as well as the videos. My partner and I wanted to tell you that out of all of the videos we've seen, we find the ones you have taught to be, by far, the most helpful and easy to understand. We look forward to "working with you" whenever we start a new dance (in this case, merengue).
We just wanted to say thank you for helping to bring your considerable talent to a place where people like I and my partner can learn, and thank you both for showing us how beautiful the dances can (and should) be.
Never stop dancing!
~ Joe Kaufeld and Laura Gray
- Portland, Oregon 5 Stars
I agree with the previously submitted 5-star reviews. You can't go wrong with any DVD or video by Ron and Karla Montez. I just wanted to register a small complaint about this particular DVD. The "stereo" separation was achieved by putting the music TOTALLY on one channel and the instruction, again TOTALLY, on the other channel. So when you listen on headphones, you hear the instruction in one ear only and nothing at all in the other ear. This is annoying to those of us who want to be able to block out external sounds in both ears while listening to the DVD.

Raid Times: 8:00 - 12:00am EST, Tuesday-Thursday + Sunday
Website: http://www.hordehero.com/
Mists of Pandaria 25m Progression
SoO: 12/14H
ToT: 13/13H
HoF - 6/6H
Terrace - 4/4H
Cataclysm 25m Progression:
Dragon Soul - 8/8 Heroic (3/8/12)
Wrath of the Lich King 25m Progression:
Icecrown Citadel- 12/12 Heroic (Light of Dawn before 4.0)
Hero is currently recruiting a few exceptional players to help fill out our roster in Mists of Pandaria! In Dragon Soul we went 8/8H back in March, and we plan on getting right back to our previous performance in the first tier of MoP and improve even more. We're always looking for players that are interested in working hard at new content and conquering it with us now and in future tiers.
Hero is a 25 man raiding guild on Burning Blade (Horde). We currently raid up to 4 days a week, Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, from 8pm to 12am. Loot is handled by an officer loot council based on attendance, performance, and overall benefit to the guild.
We're a progression guild that aims to complete all the most challenging heroic content in the game while avoiding a lot of the pitfalls encountered by many hardcore guilds. Wiping over and over on progression content can get stressful, so we try to keep raids fun while still getting serious when we need to. We also run a slightly larger roster than the typical hardcore guild, as we find it gives us flexibility in makeup, the slack in roster that allows people to miss a raid occasionally if their life gets busy, and insurance against people quitting the game. Our guild has been around for quite a while and we've found this works out very well for us.
Many of our most satisfied raiders are ones who have been in top-tier, five-day-a-week, 100%-attendance hardcore guilds and have decided that getting a boss kill a little earlier isn't worth the cost to their lives. We all play the game because we find raiding fun, and it makes the time we spend even better if we can do it with people we consider friends. However, we're still very competitive and we all want to get high-rank kills as each tier comes out.
We're currently recruiting:
-Death Knight (frost/unholy/blood)
-Druid (resto)
-Priest (disc/holy)
-Warrior (tank)
-High-quality apps of other classes/roles are always taken into consideration
What we're looking for in our apps:
-Obviously the basics. Apps should know their class and have experience playing it in a high-end raid environment. Good reaction times, decision making, staying out of fire.
-Our raiders should be quick learners– the best skill to have in progression content is the ability to learn from your mistakes and never make the same mistake twice. If something is unfamiliar or unclear, we expect everyone to ask for clarification up front so we can avoid problems before they happen.
-While we highly value communication skills and the ability to ask questions, we also expect everyone to watch videos, read logs, or do whatever is necessary to begin performing at a high level as quickly as possible.
-Our raiders should have a mature, cooperative attitude towards raiding. We don't raid for the sole purpose of acquiring loot. Our accomplishments are defined by what the guild gets done, not necessarily just what you get to do personally. What this means is that we don't expect loot drama when one item doesn't go your way, and if an encounter is designed so we can only bring a few people of your role/class and we're forced to ask you to sit then we expect you to understand that. In the end, our hope is that everyone gets the items they need for us to succeed and gets a raiding experience that they can be proud of.
How to Apply:
For any questions, you can contact one of our officers in-game or PM one of them via our forums.
App Contacts- Liquidvapor, Sep, Aertes, Viper, Jojoa, Sharpness
If you're interested, you can read some more detailed information about our guild at: http://hordehero.com/about/
And you can submit an application at: http://hordehero.com/apply/
Thanks for reading, and we hope to hear from you!

Qualitative Risk Factors Banks Must Consider
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) -- a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against a bank's operating income and monitored by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency -- represents one of the most significant estimates in a financial institution's financial statements, as the appropriateness of these loss provisions is critical to an institution's safety and soundness. Consequently, as the banking industry struggles to recover from the most significant economic downturn since the Great Depression, institutions face intensified regulation and scrutiny pertaining to their ALLL calculations. There are several overarching challenges in the estimation of the allowance for loan and lease losses process that financial institutions face with regularly.
Although the ALLL has many components, one stands supreme in difficulty – the determination of appropriate qualitative risk factor adjustments. Lack of specific direction on how these determinations are to be made provides management teams with tremendous leeway in manipulating their ALLL calculations; however, it also exposing institutions to significant regulatory scrutiny. Regulators want structure and consistency in this inherently subjective task.
Management can use the recommendations and suggestions below to help add objectivity and structure to this otherwise subjective task and appropriately justify their assumptions.
Follow Interagency Guidance
The nine qualitative factors recommended in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on the ALLL should be considered when an institution estimates credit losses, and should be considered a part of the institution's overall standard process of review.
Create A Standard Process of Review
Creating an institution-wide standard process of review regarding proper procedure and application of qualitative risk factors will ensure consistency and limit the amount of subjectivity.
Utilize Current Market Information
Considering current market information, economic trends and events within an institution's lending footprints can add objectivity and structure. These environmental factors should be reflected in an institution's quantitative adjustments, mirroring any recognized improvement or decline.
Ensure Directional Consistency
Ensuring that determinations are always directionally consistent with credit quality trends is critical. Directional consistency validates that as drivers and factors change rate directions, an institution's qualitative rates change directions as well and in accordance with the proper correlation to the driver and factor.
Conduct Correlation Analysis
Correlation analysis enables management teams to measure the strength of the relationship between two variables: how well changes in one variable can be predicted by changes in another. By utilizing known historical data to calculate the correlation coefficient, management may forecast future data that may be used to appropriately support qualitative adjustments.
Use Back-Testing as a Method of Validation
The use of back-testing allows management to test current assumptions or adjustments against actual historical data, in an effort to use the results to add credibility when making those same assumptions or adjustments today. After all, as renowned NYSE trader William Gann taught, "The future is but a repetition of the past."
Utilize a Probability of Default Model
Utilizing a quantitative credit risk model may also prove helpful to management in adding objectivity to their qualitative factor adjustments, by providing a method to express a quantification of the prevailing source of risk for financial institutions – credit risk.

Headphones Addison IL
Selecting a pair of headphones may seem like a simple process, but in fact there are thousands of options. Before you decide which headphones to purchase, read the following reviews.
High-End Headphones Addison IL
The Audio Technica and Denon are closed-back (aka sealed) designs that isolate the listener from external, ambient noise, and both feature real wood earcups. People who listen in bed or in noisy environments tend to gravitate to closed-back headphones.
Improve Your Hearing Addison IL
Headphones cannot deliver the dynamic wallop of tower speakers or the rolling thunder of even a modest subwoofer. When you listen to headphones, the sound is all in your head. It's a more cerebral, less visceral experience.
Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones Addison IL
According to Sennheiser, the HD 800's 56mm transducer is the largest that you can currently find in a dynamic headphone. A larger transducer surface area allows for purer low-frequency reproduction but can create undesirable resonances at the diaphragm with higher frequencies. Sennheiser's patented ring design is meant to minimize any potential distortion in the highs.

INTERPOL agreement with MERCOSUR to boost regional and global police information sharing
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay – An agreement signed today between INTERPOL and the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) will further streamline global and regional law enforcement cooperation, through enhanced police information exchange.
Under the agreement, INTERPOL's global databases will be linked to MERCOSUR's Security Information Exchange System (SISME) which already connects the national databases of its 10 member states - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela - thereby enabling authorized users to simultaneously search both and avoid duplication and critical information gaps.
Officers running checks against SISME will now also receive information contained in INTERPOL's databases, including on internationally-wanted persons, missing persons, criminal modus operandi, as well as forgery characteristics and seizures connected to trafficking operations.
Signing the agreement during the meeting of the Ministers of the MERCOSUR in Montevideo, INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said "Connecting these two important databases will bring real and direct benefits to police on the ground as they will now be able to extend their searches both globally and instantly.
"Obtaining international policing information at national and regional level is essential in crime prevention and detection, and this agreement will help increase the safety and security of citizens not just in the MERCOSUR region, but around the world," added the INTERPOL Chief.
During his mission to Uruguay, Secretary General Noble also met with the Minister of the Interior Edison Eduardo Bonomi Varela and Director of the National Police Julio Guarteche.
Welcoming the agreement, Minister Bonomi said it 'highlights the value that INTERPOL's brings to global law enforcement cooperation, so that even those countries furthest from the Americas can connect to records of regional criminal activity.'
The INTERPOL delegation, which included Director of Cabinet Roraima A. Andriani and the head of INTERPOL's Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires, Rafael Pena-Hernández, also visited the National Central Bureau in Montevideo where they were updated on the latest activities.
The agreement with MERCOSUR builds on the strong support already provided via INTERPOL's Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires, which has helped coordinate and assist in a range of operations across different crime areas.
These include Operation Spartacus in July 2012, an anti-human trafficking initiative which resulted in the rescue of 357 victims and 197 arrests, and Operation INFRA-SA (International Fugitive Round-Up and Arrest – South America) targeting internationally-wanted fugitives wanted for serious crimes including murder, kidnapping, organized crime and child sexual abuse and believed to be hiding in South America. The operation led to the arrest or location of 89 individuals.

Fiwix is an operating system kernel based on the Unix architecture and fully focused on being Linux compatible. It is designed exclusively for educational purposes, so the kernel code is kept as simple as possible for the benefit of students. It runs on the 32-bit x86 hardware platform, and is compatible with a good base of existing GNU applications.
Keepalived for LVS aims to add a strong and robust keepalive facility to the Linux Virtual Server project. This project is written in C with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. It implements a framework based on three family checks: Layer3, Layer4, and Layer5. This framework gives the daemon the ability of checking a LVS server pool states.When one of the servers in the LVS server pool is down, keepalived informs the Linux kernel via a setsockopt call to remove this server entry from the LVS topology. In addition, it implements a VRRPv2 stack to handle director failover.
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.
Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix kernel, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.

Hi guys
I've searching around trying to find some sort of a bis list for 5.2, can't seem to find any. I'm especially looking for bis weapon, trinkets and what tier item left out of the 5 set.
My estimate says that the following is bis.
Weapon: Venomlord's Totemic Wand + Fetish of the Hydra
Trinkets: Breath of the Hydra + Wushoolay's Final Choice (not sure if Cha-Ye's Essence of Brilliance is better though).
Tier head replaced with: Hood of the Crimson Wake
Any thoughts ?

Maybe the power failure had a cooling effect on the Ravens. Maybe Beyoncê's halftime performance charged up San Francisco. The 'Niners outscored the Ravens 25-13 in the latter half. If the Ravens could not quite put the 49ers away, the "Niners couldn't close the deal in a game they lost in the first quarter. If only one of their first half field goals was a touchdown.... With the thrilling close, the power failure and the tweet stream, fans will be speaking of this Super Bowl for a long time, right up to the NFL Combine in three weeks.

Sterowanie teleskopem
|OSTRZEŻENIE: Stellarium NIE MOŻE zablokować teleskopu przed skierowaniem na Słońce.
Jeśli obserwując Słońce uszkodziłeś swój teleskop, Twoje oczy, oczy Twoich dzieci lub cokolwiek innego, to nie nasza wina, lecz Twoja.
Note: version 0.10.0 of Stellarium does not include the key bindings for telescope control. The telescope control feature was being re-worked and was re-introduced in 0.10.1. If you want to use telescope control, but can't run versions 0.10.1 and later, you can use version 0.9.1.
In this page I describe the telescope control feature that is present in Stellarium since version 0.8.1.
Although Stellarium is currently (since version 0.8.1) able to control any telescope using a suitable external telescope server program, up to now there exist only the following telescope servers:
Open Source telescope servers
These programs are supported by us:
- TelescopeServerDummy: can be used for testing and as a starting point for developing new telescope servers, no telescope is required
- TelescopeServerDummy.exe: same for MS Windows
- TelescopeServerLx200: used for controlling Meade LX200 or AutoStar telescopes, G11 or compatible
- TelescopeServerLx200.exe: same for MS Windows
- TelescopeServerNexStar: used for controlling Celestron NexStar telescopes, contributed by Michael Heinz
- TelescopeServerNexStar.exe: same for MS Windows
Closed Source telescope servers
Programs that cannot be supported by us, because we have not the source code:
- StellariumScope is a program for MS Windows allowing Stellarium to control a variety of telescopes using the ASCOM drivers (http://ascom-standards.org). Extends capabilities to include both "Slew" and "Sync" functions, and automated installation and setup (no need to edit configuration files). Initially developed by ByteArts (http://www.ByteArts.com/stellarium). Formerly known as "StellariumServer".
- StellLXTSRB is a telescope server for Mac OS X, developed by Tony Barry. It has been used successfully with a Meade ETX-80 and an LX-90. According to its author, it will possibly work with any LX-emulating telescope.
Actual communication with the telescope is not done by Stellarium itself, but by an external program which is called telescope server. Stellarium and the telescope server communicate with each other over TCP/IP. For the TCP communication there is an LGPL library which should make the development of telescope servers easy. This architecture has the following advantages:
- The Stellarium source code does not get bloated by incorporation of dozens of telescope control mechanisms and protocols. Instead the Stellarium source code stays maintainable.
- TCP is available on any platform, so for Stellarium there are little or no portability problems.
- Any developer can easily provide an own telescope server for his own telescope, either by using the Stellarium telescope library (recommended) or without it. No knowledge about Stellarium's source code is required.
- There are no license problems: An external telescope server can, but does not need to be GPL. When building your own telescope server you can link with any library you want: ASCOM, INDI, any proprietary library, whatever.
The telescope server programs described above are available from anonymous svn:
svn co https://stellarium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/stellarium/trunk/telescope_server
There is a README file. Just change into the src directory and type 'make' (no autoconf/automake). In order to cross-compile for MS Windows export the environment variable CROSS_GPP and type 'make exe'. I have never tried native MS Windows compilation, but I suppose that any compiler will do. Same for other operating systems. If you have problems, write to the forum. Or write an email to me.
Michael Heinz has provided an XCode project file for Mac, which is included in the SVN repository.
Alternatively: downloading precompiled MS Windows binaries
I have noticed that MS Windows users often prefer downloading precompiled binaries instead of building by themselves. Therefore I provide Windows binaries:
TelescopeServerLx200.exe.gz TelescopeServerNexStar.exe.gz TelescopeServerDummy.exe.gz
Some people have problems with their browsers: the browser silently unpacks the gziped file. If you suffer from such a problem, just rename the downloaded file to TelescopeServerLx200.exe (or similar).
Start Stellarium, the telescope server(s) and your telescope(s). The order of starting does not matter. You can also stop and restart Stellarium, the telescope server(s) or your telescope(s) at any time.
As soon as the telescope server has sent the telescopes position to Stellarium, you will see a crosshair marker indicating the telescopes position, labeled with your telescopes name (config.ini). Note that the crosshair marker might be outside your current field of view. Zoom out and search for the marker, or alternatively use Stellarium's search feature. When you see the marker, you know that Stellarium has successfully connected to the telescope server.
Run the server
Navigate to the directory containing the file, and start the telescope server with a command line like
TelescopeServerDummy 10000 or TelescopeServerDummy.exe 10000 or TelescopeServerLx200 10000 /dev/ttyS0 or TelescopeServerLx200.exe 10000 COM1:
depending on your telescope and serial port. In this example I assume you use TCP port 10000, but you can use any free port you want. The telescope servers are capable of serving a huge number of Stellarium programs, so you can share the control of your telescope with other Stellarium programs.
Note that because of some oddities in the way Windows handles COM ports higher than 9, if you are using COM port 10 or higher, you should specify the the name of the COM port on the command line with '\\.\COMxx:' where COMxx is the name of the COM port you are using. For example, if you are using Celestron NexStar on COM10 and TCP port 10000, you should start the server in the following way:
TelescopeServerNexStar.exe 10000 \\.\COM10:
In your config.ini write
[astro] flag_telescopes = true flag_telescope_name = true ... [telescopes] 1 = My_first_telescope:TCP:localhost:10000:500000 2 = My_second_telescope:TCP:localhost:10001:500000
Here I have assumed that you have started two different telescope servers on your machine for controlling two different telescopes. When you have just 1 GOTO telescope like me, leave out the last line. If you run the telescope server on a different machine, you must replace 'localhost' with the name of this machine. The value 500000 indicates, that Stellarium will not show the telescopes current position - which is unknown anyway - but instead an interpolated position of 500000 microseconds (=0.5 seconds) ago. If you have a slow telescope controller - like the Meade AutoStar 494 that comes with ETX 70 - you should increase this value to 1200000 or higher, in order to get smooth movement of the telescope marker. 'My_first_telescope' is the name that will be shown in Stellarium next to the telescope marker. '1' is the keyboard shortcut: <Ctlr><1> will make the telescope point to the currently selected object (GOTO). Currently up to 10 telescopes can be controlled using keys 0,1,...,9.
Gathering debug information
For debugging in most cases I will need the log of the telescope server. You can produce the log file either by redirecting stdout into a file, or by supplying the log file's name as an additional command line parameter upon startup of the telescope server:
TelescopeServerLx200 10000 /dev/ttyS0 name-of-logfile.txt TelescopeServerLx200.exe 10000 COM1: name-of-logfile.txt
Other information useful for me is Stellarium's stdout and config.ini. The Windows version stellarium.exe already redirects stdout into a file named stdout.txt. (Note: As of version 0.10.1 Stellarium creates a log file in the user data directory - log.txt.)
Useful Stellarium features
in your config.ini write
[astro] flag_light_travel_time = true ... [gui] flag_show_flip_buttons = true
Accounting for light travel time is a must when you observe planetary satellites. You will also want to flip the Stellarium image horizontally and/or vertically in order to match what you see in your eyepiece. You can do this with the flip buttons and/or the following keyboard shortcuts:
<Ctrl><Shift><h>: toggle horizontal image flip <Ctrl><Shift><v>: toggle vertical image flip
Since version 0.9.1: For displaying concentric circles around the telescope marker indicating the FOV of your oculars write for example:
[telescopes] 1_ocular_0 = 0.5 1_ocular_1 = 0.1 ...
This will define 2 oculars with FOV=0.5 and 0.1 degrees for telescope 1. You can specify up to 10 oculars for each telescope.
When you have problems or when you are satisfied, write to the forum.
Yours, --Johannes 14:48, 18 June 2006 (PDT)

EBay Probed by Regulator Over Loans Pioneered by Payday Lenders
EBay Inc. (EBAY) is facing a probe by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over a loan program that mimics a structure used by high-interest lenders to evade state rules before the practice was stamped out by regulators.
The program, called Bill Me Later, is a service of the online marketplace's PayPal unit that relies on Salt Lake City, Utah-based Comenity Capital Bank to make loans that are then purchased and managed by EBay, according to regulatory filings. Under federal law, banks can lend in any state without being licensed there, or complying with local interest rate caps.
So-called payday lenders used similar arrangements to avoid state rules before regulators and state attorneys general ended the practice, said Margot Saunders, a lawyer with the National Consumer Law Center.
"The key issues are who have the risk of loss and who has the primary income," Saunders said in an interview. "And the banks typically arrange these deals by having no risk at all."
San Jose, California-based EBay disclosed the CFPB probe on Oct. 18, saying it had received requests for information related to Bill Me Later's "products and services, advertising, loan origination, customer acquisition, servicing, debt collection, and complaints handling practices." The service is part of its PayPal unit.
Sam Gilford, a spokesman for CFPB, did not respond to requests for comment. Kari Ramirez, EBay spokeswoman, said the companies "take consumer protection very seriously and are cooperating with the CFPB's investigation."
2008 Deal
In 2008 EBay acquired Bill Me Later, which also lets users finance purchases in online markets run by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), The Walt Disney Co. (DIS) and Apple Inc. (AAPL) Customers can avoid the annual 19.99 percent rate by paying off the loan before the end of a six-month promotional period. If they pay later, they incur accumulated interest and fees that effectively raise the annual rate.
The consumer bureau said in an Oct. 1 report that these "deferred interest" products can end up being more expensive for consumers than using a normal credit card.
Mark Lavelle, a senior vice president at PayPal, said on Feb. 11 that Bill Me Later, which was founded in 2000, "probably couldn't get off the ground today" because of increased regulatory scrutiny applied to lenders.
The absence of competitors "is good for my company now, but I don't think it's necessarily good for our economy," Lavelle told analysts.
Payday Lenders
EBay purchased loans worth $3.2 billion in 2012, according to regulatory filings. Its total revenue that year was $14.1 billion.
In the late 1990s, so-called payday lenders, which offer loans due when a borrowers get their next paychecks, linked with banks to lend in states where the practice is illegal or requires licensing. Payday loans can carry interest rates of as much as 521 percent, according to the consumer bureau.
Banks officially made the loans, which payday lenders then purchased. Regulators including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. stamped out the practice over the next decade, arguing it was a reputational risk to the banks.
A lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Utah charges that EBay has embraced the same approach with Bill Me Later. A customer of the service in California, Kyle Sawyer, charged in the suit that EBay worked with another bank, New York-based CIT Group Inc. (CIT), to dodge the state's interest-rate limits. The rates on Bill Me Later loans can exceed 100 percent, according to the lawsuit.
Evasion 'Scheme'
"PayPal, who acquired Bill Me Later, bought a program that structured a scheme to launder loans to evade state law," the plaintiff's lawyer, Jeff Friedman, said in a 2012 hearing. "It's that simple."
EBay said in its most recent regulatory filing that the lawsuit is "without merit."
EBay now uses Comenity Capital, which is owned by Plano, Texas-based Alliance Data Systems Corp. (ADS), to make the loans, according to regulatory filings in which EBay describes itself as the lending decision-maker. In its 2012 annual report, it said that 55.8 percent of Bill Me Later customers had prime credit scores.
Karen Shaw Petrou, a managing partner at Federal Financial Analytics, said the service resembles a "shadow banking industry" in which "serious consumer protection issues" can arise.
"What kind of incentives are there to bypass the rules?" Petrou said in an interview. Non-bank lenders like EBay can lack the "compliance culture" that characterizes banks, she said.

"The Feathertouch focuser for my NP-127 refractor arrived this morning, and installation was successful. So now all four of my telescopes have Starizona-supplied Feathertouch focusers. I love 'em!"
--David A. Rodger, Founding Director, HR MacMillan Planetarium, Vancouver, BC and astronomy writer since 1956
Just wanted to write to say I installed my focuser tonight and it was easy peazy! Of course, the clouds rolled in so I didn't get to use it tonight, but did do a quick look at the fuzzy moon and I LOVE this thing. Thanks so much. Great product.

The new BMW M cars are not exactly light. The F10 M5 is heavy and it takes a good amount of turbo torque to get it moving. But that generates heat, a lot of it. Several wide open throttle pulls will result in what you see below which is horsepower going from 498.2 at the wheels to 443.2 for a loss of 50 wheel horsepower after seven WOT (wide open throttle) pulls.
On a hot day not only will one lose a lot of power after a few blasts but this is not a motor designed with the racetrack in mind. Yes, all motors suffer from heat soak, but the classic naturally aspirated motors do have an advantage in power retention and avoiding limp mode to the heat generated overwhelming the cooling system as they do not put out as much heat and do not requite as much cooling.
The odd thing about this is that the motors are supposed to be Motorsport derived. This is BMW M after all, isn't it? Well it's supposed to be but what this graph shows you is that the new M cars are more suited to quick wide open throttle blasts than sustained runs. That used to be AMG's game. Now it's BMW M's.

The Twine Loft is part of the Artisan Inn and it is on premises once owned by Captain Stanly Barbour. It was here that Captain Barbour had his fishing room used to store gear for the fishery.
The first floor of the Twine Loft has the kitchen and dining room used for breakfast and evening meals, while a comfortable lounging area and the main office for check-in and check out are on the second floor.
Guests and visitors alike may also come to enjoy the large wrap-around deck built directly over the water.
For dinner reservations:
call 709 464 3377 or email the Twine Loft.
The Dining room is located on the first floor of the Twine Loft and offers an intimate dining experience, seating roughly 20-25 people per sitting. Tables may be fully booked, especially in the high season, so reserving a table ahead of time is recommended. Guests are offered two great views as they enjoy their candle lit dinner. One is that of the window view of the sun setting over the waters of Fisher's Cove and the other is that of the chef skillfully preparing each course in the open kitchen. A pre-theatre dinner is offered at 5:30pm and a late evening sitting at 7:45pm.
The Twine Loft deck is licensed for liquor service and is the only place in the area where one can sit directly over the water and enjoy a drink of choice or a a cheese plate. On chillier days warm blankets are offered, by staff, to visitors. This is without a doubt one of the best places in Trinity to watch the water and sky turn pink to purple as the sun sets over the hills and the harbour.
Located on the second floor, The Loft is open to guests from 8:30am until the end of the 7:45 dinner sitting. Guests may enjoy any type of beverage and relax by reading one of the many books and publications available. Complimentary wireless internet is available for visitors who wish to bring their laptops and ipads. During the evening this is the ideal place for diners to enjoy a pre or post dinner drink. Under special circumstances the space can be reserved as a dining space for larger parties of 8-12 people.

|Mystery . Crime . Drama
Alicia and Lucca work together on a complicated case involving a designer drug dealer. Meanwhile, Eli persuades Alicia and Veronica to participate in a mother-daughter cooking show to help Peter's campaign, but things don't go as planned.
|Episode Title:
|2015-10-18 at 21:30
Alicia's cases are intriguing, and the background drama would be melodramatic if it weren't such a common story these days.Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
One of the best parts of the show is Alicia's complicated relationship with her husband, who humiliated his family with a sex scandal but also appears to be a pawn in a larger game being played by high-level politicians.Chicago Tribune Full Review
There are many enjoyable performances by many wonderful actors, including Baranski, Panjabi and, the nicest surprise of all, David Paymer, who plays a judge. But you've seen much of this before.Newsday Full Review
The Good Wife will settle into a case-of-the-week lawyer show. I'd also bet it'll have a rotating bunch of colorful judges with whom Alicia can debate. And you know what? Given the caliber of the acting and writing, that suits me --and, I'll wager, millions of viewers--just fine.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Of course she cracks the fascinating weekly case, but it will be her continued efforts to make it again in the world of work, now that she's so old and doddering, and deal with her family, that will make The Good Wife worth watching week after week.Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
CBS's The Good Wife is both a well-written legal drama and a terrific showcase for actress Julianna Margulies, who elevates the already-good material with her perceptive, open performance.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
A smartly conceived and well executed legal drama with a strong star (Julianna Margulies) at its core and, even better, a terrifically timely hook.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
Each week the show is both intriguing and satisfying, as we watch Alicia piece together little victories while comforting her kids and confronting lurking demons from her old life. Despite the usual familiar courtroom shenanigans, the show's full, multilayered episodes keep us interested.Salon Full Review
There's plenty of life and overall quality to sustain this series for a long time to come.Wall Street Journal Full Review
Everything feels exactly right in this drama, to an almost clinical degree, especially Julianna Margulies's tough-but-wounded portrayal of Alicia Florrick.Washington Post Full Review
It is a terrific springboard to a series that is appealing--even compelling--in a variety of ways.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
With the rest of the cast hitting the same high notes as Margulies and the script, The Good Wife promises to be that Holy Grail of television: a good criminal procedural that barely disguises the insightful, multilayered human drama that lies beneath.Los Angeles Times Full Review
Alicia's shock and her sense of surreal detachment, is as vivid a depiction of personal crisis as any on television. But after this cleverly written series deconstructs the exact moment when everything falls apart, it imaginatively explores how one scorned spouse struggles to get past a life-shattering scandal.The New York Times Full Review
With all four [actors] bringing their "A" games to the pilot, it looks as if CBS could have another winning 10 o'clock drama.Baltimore Sun Full Review
It may not be entirely fair to call a show as complexly layered as The Good Wife a crime drama, though at some basic level it is, with a bleakly luminous Juliana Margulies playing a novice criminal defense attorney who's painfully learning the sport of judicial hardball.Miami Herald Full Review
Margulies puts a powerful combination of cold fury, bewilderment and tenacity into Alicia Florrick, the wife of a disgraced Chicago politician in a new series that readily admits it ripped itself from the headlines.New York Daily News Full Review
The Good Wife is confident and polished, and a much better showcase for Margulies than her last legal drama.Newark Star-Ledger Full Review
It establishes the main character--and reintroduces us to a totally winning TV star--while creating a multilayered world that gives that character room to maneuver and grow.USA Today Full Review
If The Good Wife can maintain the first episode's tone, it will keep an audience even after political sex scandals fade from the news.Time Full Review
Good premise, good start.New York Post Full Review
Slightly harder-edged than "Amy," but just as estrogen-fueled, the best-timed show of the new season is a combination of the crime-centered procedurals CBS favors and a drama about the kind of family most of us have speculated about at one time or another.Philadelphia Daily News Full Review
The Good Wife doesn't win many style points for originality, but nor does it seek to squeeze into unflattering hipster clothes. And on a network where meat-and-potatoes drama has generally performed beyond merit or expectations, that's probably a very good fit, indeed.Variety Full Review
Margulies and Noth--both of whom have a similarly dark appeal--are well-matched onscreen. Alas, if you feel a "but'' or two coming, you would be correct. The problem I have with The Good Wife is something that mars too much TV: telegraphing.Boston Globe Full Review
Even as this plot pattern bodes ill, Margulies and Panjabi make a formidable team.PopMatters Full Review
There's nothing inherently wrong with The Good Wife other than it's a legal series with too many close-up shots of knowing glances and "attagirl Alicia" moments of empowerment that you saw coming 20 minutes prior.San Francisco Chronicle Full Review
With the drama so thin, it must be the richness of Alicia's situation that makes 13 million people a week want to enjoy her company.Slate Full Review

After writing the fantasy series The Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins departed from the world of fantasy and stepped into a harsh, dystopian creation in The Hunger Games. Published in 2008, The Hunger Games is the first novel in a projected trilogy, and introduces readers to a futuristic dystopian society where an overpowering government controls the lives and resources in twelve different districts. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, of District 12, is the main character of the story. Each year, as punishment for the now demolished District 13's attempted rebellion, two children in each district are chosen by lottery to fight each other to the death in an arena. The event is called the Hunger Games and is televised for everyone in the Capitol to see; the winning tribute is given food and a life of ease for themselves and their families, along with presents of food and resources for their district. Katniss ends up volunteering for the role of tribute to the Games after her little sister Prim is drawn in the lottery. Peeta, a baker's son that Katniss knows through school, is also drawn to fight in the Games. Katniss and Peeta are whisked away to the Capitol to fight other children in the artificial landscape created for the arena. In a twist of events, it is revealed that Peeta is in love with Katniss, as is Gale, a boy back in District 12 whom Katniss hunted with regularly. The love triangle gives added interest to the story line and to the Games themselves as Katniss and all the other tributes fight for their lives.
Although marketed as adolescent literature, the theme of fighting to the death, and the violence of the events that occur in the arena, all involving children, has brought with it controversy and some protest from parents and school groups. On the other hand, the book is popular among teens and adults alike, all who like it for its simple and understandable prose, wry sense of humor, constant suspense and action-packed plotline. The Hunger Games was met with mostly positive reviews, with some negative commentary on the simplistic style and lack of thorough complexity that a dystopian future would merit. Its themes of family, friendship, love, and survival are accessible, and Katniss's strong, pragmatic, and yet vulnerable character adds to the story's appeal.

It's being called a 'triple whammy' for the UK nuclear industry. And with what's on the horizon - it's beginning to look more like a quadruple or quintuple whammy.First, local representatives in Cumbria in the north of the country rejected plans to build a deep geological storage facility for nuclear waste on the doorstep of the beautiful Lake District national park. There are no other candidate sites, putting plans for the long-term storage of highly dangerous nuclear waste in the UK into disarray.Then it was announced that the cost of decommissioning and clean up at the Sellafield nuclear facility – also in Cumbria – is currently running at 67.5 billion pounds. That's not the final figure. The bill is growing fast and nobody has any idea what the size of the final bill will be. As with anything nuclear, don't believe any estimates from the industry itself.This was swiftly followed by the news that Centrica, the last major UK company involved in plans to build new nuclear reactors in the country, was pulling out because "the anticipated project costs in new nuclear have increased and the construction timetable has extended by a number of years." But that's not the end of the trouble. More dark clouds are gathering. Further whammies lie ahead.Whammy #4: Largely unnoticed, a few weeks ago the chief executive of French nuclear giant EdF, Vincent de Rivaz, told a committee of UK politicians that if EdF builds new nuclear reactors in the UK, it wants to be paid whether the electricity is used or not. "If a power station is available to generate electricity, its operator should not suffer financially because a policy or system decision is made that its electricity is not needed," he said."It is right not only for investors," said Mr de Rivaz, "but for consumers as well." But why charging consumers for a product they don't need is 'right' is extremely hard to understand. Here at Greenpeace we've been trying to think of another industry that could get away with such barefaced cheek. How would you feel if a baker knocked at your door demanding money even though you didn't want the bread he's made?Whammy #5: On top of that, EdF wants a guaranteed price for the electricity its new reactors would produce. Indeed, the company says it will pull out all together unless it is guaranteed profits. It is currently in secret talks with the UK government trying to agree to a figure. Estimates say this will be close to 95-99 pounds per MWh. Basically they want to force UK consumers to pay double the current price for electricity for the next 25 years. That's more than wind power costs right now. Does that sound like value for money for UK taxpayers? Is it 'right' for consumers, Mr de Rivaz?Where does this leave us? In a speech this week, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said "countries that prioritise green energy will secure the biggest share of jobs and growth in a global low-carbon sector set to be worth US$4 trillion by 2015" and that the UK should be "a global showcase for green innovation and energy efficiency."With its waste of time, taxpayer and consumer money and vital resources, its toxic legacy, its incompetence, blackmail and broken promises and its way of frightening investors, nuclear power just doesn't fit anywhere in Mr Cameron's vision.Greenpeace is calling for the UK to abandon its nuclear plans and turn the prime minister's words into reality.

Im sorry but whoever wrote this article quite clearly has no idea what they are talking about. Lets put an engineers perspective on this. Nuclear power is the only technology we have that can replace coal and that is because renewables are unable to supply a "base load" of electricity. Which is known as the minimum amount of electricity that a country needs at any given time. For many years this was the role that coal fire power stations played. I would also like to point out that in a life cycle of a nuclear plant the grams of CO2 per MWH over its life time is actually less than that of any renewable technology.
I know some people will read this and be yelling about the Germany having a huge increase of renewables while abandoning nuclear. While that is true I would invite you to research what this has done to their electrical grid and the results from that. For those who do not wish to research it the jist is that there has been £millions in damage and it will cost several £billion to potentially adapt the grid to cope with renewables. The reason I say potentially is that it is not known yet if an electrical grid can be adapted to take large scale fluctuations that renewables provide. So what the Germans have done to combat this is to go back to coal fire power stations, the dirtiest form of energy generation.
The big danger from nuclear is high level waste which is only around 3% of the total waste produced annually, the other waste is treated and recycled accordingly. This however is a valuable fuel source, if properly utalised. Several European countries have this policy and have seen a huge decrease in waste.
Surely the question people should be asking is, why is the issue of reprocessing spent fuel not made a priority to eliminate high level waste. That way we have low carbon electricity without the environmentally damaging waste.

AliShaw is quite right - this piece is obviously misleading on several accounts:
1) Impact of closing nuclear plants: the German "example"
Here are the numbers to back up AliShaw's assertions:
From 2010 to 2012 (8 reactors were shut down in 2011), coal use INCREASED, especially the dirtiest brown variety (more toxic fumes, and 800-1000 g CO2/kWh), and this in spite of a drop in overall production, and a considerable increase in renewable energy: an obvious disaster in terms of health (42 TWh coal instead of nuclear > 100 additional deaths/year) and climate change (ca. +40 Mtons CO2/year, ca. the total yearly CO2 output of a small country such as Austria or Switzerland).
2) What GP is referring to in #4 is in fact quite common: it's called a "capacity charge", and actually applies more to coal and gas than nuclear. The main cause of the increase in capacity charges is due to unstable renewable capacity: classical plants run less of the time, but must still be there, because the guaranteed capacity of solar and wind is essentially zero. Guess what? In oh-so-nice Germany, it's even official government policy (see pages 28-29):
It even gets much worse: renewable producers get paid when energy prices become NEGATIVE, as attested by the official EC report:
Guess who pays this insanity…

"Recycling" nuclear fuel is more expensive than burning fresh fuel (stated by a goverment commission in Japan).
By "Recycling" nuclear fuel we end up with MORE plutonium than if we didn't; this is only good to build more nuclear weapons.
If we recycle plutonium we end up having more plutonium in the nuclear reactors and in the spent fuel pools; this is bad when they explode (like unit 3 at Fukushima).
Unlike stated above, "recycling" nuclear fuel only recycles a small fraction of the nuclear waste.
The "nuclear fuel cycle" is mostly an excuse to stockpile plutonium (Japanese public broadcasting corporation, citing minutes of a goverment commission meeting).

Here are a few facts to remember when the nuke boys talk about baseload.
Any power generation station needs to be taken offline from time; nuclear plants are online only a little more than half of the time -- depending also on how good (profit hungry?) is their operator.
Electric utilities routinely keep a few plants online (about 3%) without generating any power in order to cope with fluctuations in demand. This is not because of renewables.
Electric utilities keep even more plants off line but ready to be turned on in case some operative plant needs to be shut down at a short notice owing to events like storms, earthquakes, equipment breakdown and so on. This is not because of renewables.

Any type of industry has to plan capacity: when you start producing a new car you need to decide how many you are going to manufacture every month.
Any type of industry has to plan capacity: when you start producing a new car you need to decide how many you are going to manufacture every month.
If the car sells well you need to work overtime, keep customers waiting or lose customers. If the car does not sell well you wasted money because you oversized the plant. In no case you get paid for the cars you do not sell.
Why would electricity manufacturing have to be subsidized by guaranteeing that electricity is purchased regardless of consumption?

1) Plutonium for weapons: not really:
1) Plutonium for weapons: not really:
High-burnup fuel (as in a light-water reactor) is in practice unsuitable for nuclear weapons. For that, it's much more practical to use a reactor where you can change fuel frequently (low-burnup), so you essentially only produce Pu-239.
For a low-burnup reactor (graphite, heavy water), reprocessing can become more of a proliferation risk, but Japan has to my knowledge no such plants.
The main goal of reprocessing in thermal reactors (besides 10-20% more energy) is to separate actinides, so that the final waste stream is less problematic.
2) Backup and intermittent renewables: necessary
The lowest availability measured for wind + solar in Germany was ca. 2%. How do you go to 100% with renewables?
- Use despatchable capacity: biomass, geothermal, dam hydro
- Use storage: dam hydro
- Use demand management
All exist, but all have limitations and add extra cost. About demand management, would you for instance be ready to work 80h one week and zero the other, as a function of energy availability?
3) Capacity charge
Keeping your car analogy, the situation would be more like renting a car: you pay both for the time the car is available for you (akin to capacity) and for distance/fuel (akin to energy).
Also, electricity being quite vital, you do need a certain guaranteed minimal level, and it is reasonable to pay for that. Likewise, any government reasonably caring for its citizens stockpiles some emergency food and medical supplies. Such programs have costs, even if they're not used, which I'm personally quite willing to pay…
Note that capacity charges can also apply "negatively": some very energy-intensive plants that don't need to operate at 100% absolutely all the time (e.g. aluminium electrolysis) get a supplier rebate in exchange for shutting down during shortages.

Beppe, for 1 there are several nuclear fuel cycles and you need to be specific as to which you are talking about. The PUREX cycle, which is a form of reprocessing, uses plutonium as fuel and uses up all of the weapons grade material. Dry reprocessing is very expensive but wet reprocessing is considerably cheaper. Recycling does only reduce it by a small amount but it is the small amount of high level waste that is the problem, as this contains 95% of the total radioactivity produced from global nuclear waste. The low and intermediate waste can be treated and recycled on a case by case basis. Also telling a qualified chemical engineer about baseload is rather preaching to the choir. While it is true sections of a plant have to experience down time for maintenance and such they have multiple electrical generating units. So that when 1 is down others can be running. The reason for this is that it takes a lot of time and money to get a reactor or furnace up to the required operating temperature. Also when you addressed the issue of base load you made no attempt to explain what it is. The fact of the matter is that the electrical grid cannot take the fluctuations of large scale renewables. That is not an issue that is up for debate as it is fact. Comparing it to the car industry is pointless, the energy market is a completely unique market, supply must always equal demand. If it doesn't you either damage the grid or experience blackouts.
Renewables do have a role to play in the energy market. They need to be able to provide the flexible load of electricity, that is currently occupied by gas.

1) Regardless of what is the most efficient way to produce plutonium Japan has a large stockpile of plutonium (enough for 4000 warheads?) and this is a fact.
Japan nuclear cycle, after 20 years of research and public subsidies, has gone practically nowhere -- and this is another fact.
The nuclear cycle produces more plutonium than it consumes; do you view this an upside or a downside?
Nuclear plants produce plutonium; Iran wants to build nuclear powerplants but the US and others do not want that to happen. Is this because they are concerned that Iranian plutonium would not be produced efficiently?
2) I would be happy to work a few weekends next summer to help reduce peak usage: this has already been done in Japan and it has helped the country to do without nuclear power in 2012.
You are right that there are limitations and extra costs: those of nuclear energy include inability to stop a reactor at times, huge public subsidies, liability caps funded by the paxpayer and links to organized crime (Tepco promised to *stop* dealing with the yakuza...).
3) I *already* pay for capacity (3kW, 800yen/month); however it seems that according to EDF I should pay as if I used all the 3kW all the time (3kW * 24hr/day * 30day/month * 22yen/kWh=47520yen/month). Kind of overboard, huh?

Last summer Korea shocked the international community by announcing it would start 'scientific' whaling. Surprised by the controversy, our government took a step back and told the media that they will consult with the various stakeholders such as fishing community, NGOs, and the concerned governments and make a decision whether to submit the scientific whaling proposal. The South Korean government also made it clear that if there are other means to achieve our research goals without killing whales, we could consider not going for scientific whaling.
So four months later, on a cold November day, I found myself walking into the government complex in Gwacheon, a short subway ride from Seoul, to join other Korean environmental groups at the consultation. There were lots of government departments - Fisheries, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, Ministry of Government Legislation – but the key one was the Cetacean Research Institute, a body modeled on Japan's Institute for Cetacean Research which seeks to bring commercial whaling here to South Korea.
In Korea hundreds of minke whales are killed every year and their meat is traded along the east coast, especially around Ulsan where the CRI has its headquarters at a former whaling harbour. Whale counts are incomplete but what information there is suggest that the minke whales, which are classified as protected, are declining 5 to 7 percent each year.
I explained how scientists all over the world study whales without killing them and gave details on various whales research programs. The man from the CRI didn't answer my repeated question on why they would want to kill a protected species. He said they already did lots of non-lethal research but that the best way to see what whales have been eating is to cut them open.
Clearly Korea has not given up on 'scientific' whaling, otherwise I would not have had to go to this meeting. But there is still some hope. The CRI man said that they will assess which is better, lethal or non-lethal research, bearing in mind other issues. "Other issues" means political pressure.
The Fisheries Ministry's representative at the meeting summed it up well: "We might go scientific whaling and we might not. We are listening to you before making any decision."
The government will make its decision on Dec 3, less than a month from now. I believe they really care about international opinion. Please let them know that the world stands opposed to a resumption of commercial whaling by sending the Korean government a message here.

The Cancun Agreements were a set of significant decisions by the international community to address
the long-term challenge of climate change collectively and comprehensively over time, and to take
concrete action immediately to speed up the global response to it.
The agreements, reached on December 11 in Cancun, Mexico, at the 2010 United Nations Climate Change
Conference, represented key steps forward in capturing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and
to help developing nations protect themselves from climate impacts and build their own sustainable
Put simply, the Cancun Agreements' main objectives cover:
Transparency of actions
Assist the particularly vulnerable people in the world to adapt to the inevitable impacts of
climate change by taking a coordinated approach to adaptation.
Capacity building
All industrialized countries and more than 40 developing countries had submitted official emission
reduction targets and actions by COP17. But, in the big picture, the international response was
still lacking in a critical area.
The sum total of official emission reduction pledges from all countries
amounted to only around 60 percent of what was needed to limit the temperature increase to 2
degrees Celsius, the temperature ceiling that would give us a reasonable chance of avoiding
the worst impacts of climate change.
Note: The following year, in Durban, countries launched a work plan on deepening mitigation ambition,
as part of the path they charted towards a new future climate agreement.
The Cancun Agreements also included a timely schedule for nations under the Climate Change Convention
to review the progress they make towards their expressed objective of keeping the average
global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius. Governments agreed to review whether the
objective needed to be strengthened in future, on the basis of the best scientific knowledge available.
This was fleshed out further at COP17 the following year in Durban.
