HOLLIS, N.H. (WMUR/CNN) - A N.H. woman plans to send more than 100,000 holiday cards to troops.
Sixteen years ago, Laura Landerman-Garber enlisted her family in sending holiday greetings to troops.
Two years ago, she set a goal to send 5,000 cards for everyone on board an aircraft carrier. She ended up with triple that amount.
Landerman-Garber formed the nonprofit "Holiday Cards 4 Our Military NH Challenge" to help with postage.
She asked students across the state to sign on, which helped her send out 50,000 cards last year.
This year, the challenge reached every state, and 30 states and Canada have sent in more than 100,000 cards.

Stainless steel is chromium containing steel alloys, which improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The minimum chromium content in standardised stainless steel is 10.5%.
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is chromium containing steel alloys. The minimum chromium content in standardised stainless steel is 10.5%. Chromium improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The higher corrosion resistance is due to a chromium oxide film that is formed on the metal surface. This extremely thin layer is self-repairing under the right conditions.
In general, stainless steel has a higher resistance to chemicals (i.e. acids) than steel and cast iron have. In environments containing chlorides, stainless steel can be attacked by localised corrosion, e.g. pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion.
Austenitic stainless steel
Austenitic stainless steel is the most common type of stainless steel and is characterised by a high corrosion resistance, very good formability, toughness and weld ability. Austenitic stainless steel, especially the EN 1.4301 and EN 1.4401 are used for almost any type of pump components in the industry.
Other alloying elements
Molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen are other examples of typical alloying elements. Alloying with these elements brings out different crystal structures, which enable different properties in connection with machining, forming, welding, corrosion resistance, etc.

UPDATE: Geoffrey Robertson, QC, the revered human-rights lawyer who played a key role in devising Assange's legal defense, tells The Daily Beast that while the extradition battle may be lost, its impact has already been felt—and says that Assange's true concern is the United States:
"[Today's ruling] was entirely predictable, because to rule in his favor would have partly destroyed the European extradition arrangement. Nonetheless, [Assange's legal argument] was a valid point. The argument that I devised for him was that to say a prosecutor was a judicial authority was a contradiction in terms. A judicial authority in British, American, and Australian law is a judge—someone who is independent and impartial. But a prosecutor obviously is not, and it's a dissolution of civil liberties to adopt the unfair systems that Napoleon introduced into Europe, which muddles the distinction. However, the judges were divided, and all agreed that the British Parliament had been misled by ministers who assured it that a judicial authority did mean a judge.
"The argument has kept Mr. Assange free in Britain for 18 months, under house—or at least, mansion-house—arrest. And it enabled him to produce Cablegate, which is of much importance to historians and journalists and helped to spark the Arab Spring with its revelations of corruption in Tunisia and Egypt. Assange must face down these spurious allegations of 'minor rape' [another contradiction in terms] made against him in Sweden, but his real anxiety is that the grand jury sitting in Virginia will produce a sealed indictment and the Justice Department will pounce once he gets to Sweden. Sweden has a government that bends to America's will and has been found guilty of handing out special rendition at the request of the CIA: the Swedish justice system is amenable to government pressure, and he is much more vulnerable in Sweden than he is in the United Kingdom or Australia. He is asking the Australian government to obtain an undertaking from the Swedish government that when its legal system is finished with him, he will be allowed to return to Australia, where he is confident that the courts will deal fairly with any American extradition requests."
Original Story:
Britain's Supreme Court ordered Julian Assange to be extradited to Sweden today—but in yet another twist to the hacker's strange legal saga, his fate could remain in the balance for at least another two weeks.
In its long-awaited decision, the court ruled by a margin of 5–2 that Sweden's request to extradite Assange had been lawfully made, meaning that the controversial WikiLeaks founder should be returned to Sweden to face allegations of sexual abuse.
After the ruling, Assange's legal team successfully petitioned for a 14-day window in which to consider challenging the decision, arguing that it may have been based on considerations that were not addressed during the appeal. Speaking on the BBC, Joshua Rozenberg, a legal analyst, called the move "unusual," adding that it "means there's everything left to play for still."
Assange has been under house arrest in Britain during his long battle against extradition, much of it spent at the country estate of the journalist Vaughan Smith, who told The Daily Beast last year that he viewed hosting Assange as "standing up to the bully." Assange stands accused of sexually abusing two women in August 2010, which he has denied. Supporters have alleged that the charges are politically motivated, seeing a conspiracy against the man whose leaks have rankled Western governments, particularly the United States.
In a statement last night, WikiLeaks declared itself to be "under serious threat" of legal ramifications in America. "The US, UK, Swedish and Australian governments are engaging in a coordinated effort to extradite its editor-in-chief Julian Assange to the United States, to face espionage charges for journalistic activities," the statement reads. "For twenty-one months a Grand Jury sitting in the Washington DC area has been meeting on a monthly basis, seeking to prosecute Julian Assange for espionage."
There have been unconfirmed reports—following recent leaks from Stratfor, the global intelligence company—that a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., has issued a sealed indictment charging Assange with espionage. Louis B. Susman, the U.S. ambassador to Britain, said in February that America would "wait to see how things work out in the British courts" before taking any action.
Julian Knowles, a London-based lawyer who specializes in extradition, told The Daily Beast earlier this year the idea that the Swedish case was a ploy for U.S. extradition was a "fantasy," saying extradition would be just as easy, if not easier, from London. But Assange and his legal team have continued to paint the case as part of a broader battle with the United States. "If the indictment is unsealed upon Assange's extradition to Sweden he faces further removal from Sweden to the United States," the WikiLeaks statement said, adding that its associates had been "detained and interrogated at US and UK airports, their equipment confiscated, and attempts have been made to turn them into informants."
Assange did not attend this morning's hearing—his lawyers told the court that he was "stuck in traffic"—but supporters were gathered outside the courthouse toting signs, one reading "U.K. courts kiss U.S. ass." Smith appeared at the court along with Assange allies such as Australian journalist John Pilger and WikiLeaks spokeswoman Kristinn Hrafnsson.
Assange's challenge was based on the question of whether the Swedish prosecutor who issued his arrest warrant had judicial authority to do so. The warrant was issued in December 2010 after two Swedish women, both former WikiLeaks volunteers, accused Assange of sexual abuse the previous summer, when he was living in and around Stockholm. According to the allegations, consensual sexual encounters with Assange became nonconsensual. The women have alleged four offenses against Assange, according to court documents—one for "sexual coercion," two for sexual misconduct, and one for "minor rape." Assange has admitted to having sexual relations with both women. He has not been charged with a crime.
The court ruled today that the warrant was lawful, but Dina Rose, Assange's counsel, was able to buy her client additional time. She argued that "the majority of the court appear to have based their decision on the interpretation of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, on which no argument was heard and no opportunity of making submission was given," according to a statement issued by the court after this morning's hearing. The statement added that Rose had been given 14 days to apply to reopen the case on these grounds.
The new deadline means that Assange will remain in legal limbo until at least June 13, with the possibility for further delays. Once a decision to extradite is finalized, according to Knowles, Assange could "be onto a plane to Sweden within 10 days."

Brown, Hallie Q.
" Hail, Sister of the Skies, and Farewell "
It should be a pleasant task to write of one's mother, but when the most vivid impression is that of her martyrdom, the emotions are not unmixed with sadness.
I should like best to tell of the impressions Mother made upon me as a child. I thought her the most beautiful little lady in the whole wide world. I loved to watch her comb her glorious wealth of hair, to hear her voice, and, best of all, to have her clasp me in her arms and tell me my daily story. I should like to tell of my hour, "The children's hour," the best of the day that Mother gave to me.
Of the facts I shall state here, a few I know from actual contact and experience but most of them I learned as I grew older, from the lips of Father, the writings, of Hon. John M. Langston and President Solomon of Hayti, from chats with Grandmother and a few notes of Mother's own.
May Ella Forrester was born in Baltimore, Maryland, May 22, 1853. Her parents were free people and versed in the three "R's." Miss Forrester graduated from the Baltimore Normal School, receiving three scholarship prizes. She commenced the study of music when in the lower grades and continued the subject until her marriage. Miss Forrester was married, in 1874, to Rev. C. W. Mossell and two years after her marriage accompanied her husband, who was appointed a missionary of the A. M. E. Church to Hayti.
It was on this mission field that Mrs. Mossell was to find her hardest trials, her richest blessings and her martyrdom.
Mrs. Mossell had studied the Latin, Greek and German languages but the speech of the Haytians is French and a native patois both of which it was necessary for a successful missionary to master together with Spanish which one frequently needed in daily travels. The climate had discouraged many, and caused the failure of more than one attempt to establish missions on this West Indian Isle. The customs too were to be reckoned with by one who must reach the people. Hayti, had its cultured groups but the masses were primitive. Superstition and ignorance were the heritage and the sanitary conditions were such, at that time, that pestilence and climate seemed leagued in an effort to discourage the foreigner who attempted to establish himself upon this otherwise beautiful Island.
President Solomon, in his writings marvels at the fact that our little missionary mastered the languages complex to the country in so short a time. She soon became so proficient in French that she was an recognized authority. She mastered Spanish also. The native patois quickly ceased to puzzle her and when she could use it helped greatly in her unceasing efforts to reach the masses.
The customs, though strange, were met with tact and a keen insight into human nature. The suspicious native women were won over through the medium of some brightly colored yarns which Mrs. Mossell collected, and sitting on her veranda, in plain sight of the street she proceeded to work the brilliantly colored yarn into patterns. One by one and then in small groups the native woman overcame their suspicion and superstitions dread of the foreign woman and came cautiously at first and then freely to watch the miracle of blending colors and design. Soon a large group of these women were on friendly terms at the mission house and many were brought into the school and into the church. Through the town of Port au Prince went
In Hayti the more enlightened people were Roman Catholics, "politicians"--and therefore careful to avoid any religious entanglements, or they were men whose business relations with the interior natives made it seem necessary to subscribe to the superstitious cults of the island. It was difficult indeed to reach this group but Mrs. Mossell found her musical talent and her linguistic ability to be the devices here and she was soon accepted in the homes of the cultured upon whom she drew for converts and for pupils. Her musical talent was not limited to the piano; she was a composer of no mean ability. Her compositions that counted most on the mission field were "La Grande Marche," dedicated to President Solomon, and "Le Bouquet," to General Ligitime, another was "La Grande Marche Patriotic," some songs in patois that are lost should be added to the list. The songs and music, the brilliant mastery of the language were accounted by this little woman as merely gifts meant to help in God's work.
Mrs. Mossell and her husband succeeded in creating enough interest in Hayti and at the home base to send five young Haytian gentlemen to the States for higher education at Wilberforce. The wisdom of their selection of these men is evident from the fact that each one of them became a staunch workman in the A. M. E. Church. One returned to his country as secretary of the legation after he had served the church in Hayti and he is now counted with the staunchest and strongest on the episcopal bench.
The inhospitable climate of Hayti was the most trying obstacle our missionaries had to meet. With the exception of the Revolution horrors, it was their deadliest enemy. Both claimed their toll. Both were equally deadly. The climatic severity was enhanced by the miserable sanitary conditions in the town of Port au Prince. Before the onslaught of plague and pestilence our Missionaries faltered but buried their dead, succored their wounded and marched
The plague of smallpox came next and skillful nursing was all that saved an only daughter, scarred but otherwise unharmed.
Pestilence, dangerous native superstitions, revolutions, and death were always near but this little woman faced them, kept the faith and performed her work to such an end that one Haytian gentleman writing of her said: "Her death was the glorious counter-part of her magnificent life." President Solomon, in his memorial address said: "But how shall we estimate our loss when we recall that, perhaps, no one among us has accomplished larger labors in this field of dignified, useful and indispensible service, and who has been more successful?"
Having survived the climate, mastered the languages, and, with delicate tact penetrated the native prejudices, destroyed, in some cases, the superstitious dreads and worships of the people Mrs. Mossell and her devoted husband brought many to Christ and to the mysteries of letters. They risked their all, giving it freely and they had won--but the zero hour was to come in the revolution of 1883. "Contemplate a frail American woman, of Protestant Methodist faith, educated in the language of her own country with some knowledge of Latin, Greek and German, in hand-to-hand struggle against such ignorance, superstition and mental inactivity as existed in Hayti," remarks one writer when recounting Mrs. Mossell's trials in the revolution.
On the twenty-second and twenty-third of September, 1883, the notorious Bazelias Revolution was brought to a
"Ah! A sad day! Black as night in the life of a great nation,' writes Mr. Langston, "But what proves to be the Black Day of the nation," he continues, "is the glorious, effulgent one of a humble, delicate woman, who shrank in natural diffidence and Christian modesty from public gaze or display. It is a day fraught with duties and consequences which a trying, cruel emergency would bring upon her. Whence comes now the physical strength, the moral fortitude, the conscious sagacity equal to the responsibility of this hour?"
Mrs. Mossell had seen every house, neighbor to her own go down in flames; the small American Flag on the gallery was of no avail for, "the moment made haste when her own house must go...and the family was left to make their way as best they might against the fast devouring flames and the furious mob now forcing their way into the house with bloody intent. Revolvers, guns and swords were freely used; many of those who had taken refuge in the mission house being shot down, wounded or killed upon the spot. Threatened with death, Mr. Mossell was rudely forced into the streets and forced to march at point of revolvers to what he was told was to be his death. Now came the supreme hour of Mrs. Mossell. She alone could, and, she alone did, by her courageous and heroic conduct, prevent the assassins' foul purpose upon her husband's life. Her imploring words, her womanly, earnest efforts; her whole appearance and manner, so impressive and subduing, as, clinging to her husband, she was borne on as he, by the mob through the streets, pulled, hauled and pushed under the direst threats of personal violence, could but draw to her and her husband, in such sore condition, at least a friend or two who would seek their relief. So it happened and they were saved."
"The emergency came and it was met in an heroic manner. All the beauty, and excellence, and nobility, and dignity which it revealed in the character of Mrs. Mossell will ever remain our glad heritage. The amplest justification of our deep admiration for her as a true Christian heroine."
The effects of those terrible days and nights took heavy costs from our missionaries. It brought about the untimely birth of a daughter who survived but a short while and left their only remaining child lost for four days, in fact to be given up by all but her mother, as having perished. It left the mother to linger through a little more than two years of much suffering thence to go, amidst eulogies and grief, to her own reward.

United Airlines bears no responsibility for suspected security lapses at a Maine airport, which allowed hijackers to board the American Airlines plane that crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, a federal judge ruled.
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein granted a request by United and its parent United Continental Holdings Inc. on Nov. 21 to dismiss negligence claims brought by Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center property.
Lawyers for United and Silverstein weren't immediately available for comment.
The decision concerned the destruction of 7 World Trade Center, which collapsed hours after being pierced by debris from the crash of AMR Corp.'s American Airlines Flight 11 into 1 World Trade Center.
Two of the hijackers on Flight 11, Mohammed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari, had begun their trip to New York at the Portland International Jetport. There, they boarded a flight by US Airways carrier Colgan Air to Boston's Logan Airport, from where they connected onto the American plane.
Silverstein argued that because United was among the carriers that operated Portland's only security checkpoint, it was legally responsible for the screening of all passengers, and had missed a "clear chance" to prevent the hijacking.
The judge, however, found that Chicago-based United owed no duty of care to Silverstein's 7 World Trade Co LP, which had leased Tower 7.
"It was not within United's range of apprehension that terrorists would slip through the (Portland) security screening checkpoint, fly to Logan, proceed through another air carrier's security screening and board that air carrier's flight, hijack the flight and crash it into 1 World Trade Center, let alone that 1 World Trade Center would therefore collapse and cause Tower 7 to collapse," he wrote.
Hellerstein has presided over almost all U.S. litigation over the Sept. 11 attacks.
The case is World Trade Center Properties LLC et al v. American Airlines Inc. et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 08-03722.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Deanna Rix Betterman was planning on retiring from wrestling after the 2016 Olympics. But that doesn't make the International Olympic Committee's recent decision to drop the sport (effective in 2020) any easier to handle.
"I was shocked," she said. "I couldn't believe it. It's one of the oldest sports in the Olympics, and it's such a demanding sport. To consider taking out wrestling is crazy."
Betterman, who wrestled for Marshwood High School before graduating in 2005, was shocked when she heard last month's announcement from the IOC, but believes there is a chance the sport's place in the Games can be saved.
"We're confident it will come back," Betterman said. "They gave the sport a bunch of stipulations to make the sport more appealing to viewers. There will be a lot of rule changes if it comes back, but it's sounding good from what I'm hearing."
As of right now, wrestling is still on the docket for the 2016 games in Rio De Janeiro and that's where Betterman's focus is. She currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colo., and trains at the USOC Training Center.
Matt Rix, the longtime Marshwood coach and Deanna's father, said the IOC's decision hit close to home.
"It's been their dream forever," Rix said. "It'd be too bad if it actually happened. In some countries, the only medals they've won are in wrestling. Those other countries might boycott the Olympics altogether. It'd be a mess if wrestling went away."
The IOC is scheduled to take a final vote on the matter in September, but even if the sport fails to stave off elimination, there is the option of reinstatement down the road. Either way, Rix said the IOC is in for a fight.
"They picked the wrong sport to mess with," he said.
Deanna's goal of competing in the 2012 London Games was put on hold when she and her husband, fellow Olympic wrestling hopeful Joe Betterman, announced they were expecting their first child in January of that year. Their son Mason was born in September.Despite not being able to fulfil her goal of wrestling in the Olympics in 2012, Deanna said becoming a mother was just as physically and mentally demanding.
"You don't realize how much work it is," Betterman said. "I'm nursing as well, so I have to pump in the locker room, and some of the girls joke with me when I'm in there."
The IOC's decision makes the Bettermans' wrestling future even more cloudy, as Joe had aspired to compete beyond 2016.
"He was hoping to make a career out of it," she said. "We also dreamed of Mason wrestling too. There will still be the world championships, but the dream is the Olympics. You don't hear kids saying I want to be a world gold medalist. The ultimate goal is the Olympics."
In high school, Deanna won 100 career wrestling matches, all against boys, and was almost the first girl to win a boys state high school championship, losing with four seconds to go in double overtime.
Just a couple of weeks after Mason was born was all the time Deanna needed to get back to working out, and she was back on the mat two months after that. She said the sleep deprivation that every new parent experiences hasn't been that bad.
"He's actually a really good baby," Betterman said. "He sleeps a lot, so we got lucky. It's cool to see the new things he can do. He's at a fun stage."
The Bettermans are now training for next month's U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas.
"It's been a lot of work, but we work on a good schedule," Deanna said. "We bring Mason to practice with us, so that's a little tough. When he was younger he'd sleep through practice, but that's a little harder now."
Matt Rix said he's looking forward to watching Deanna and Joe compete in Las Vegas, and to spend time with his new grandson.
"I'll be on babysitting duty," he said with a laugh.

Amy Poehler and Julia Louis-Dreyfus' bit in which they bumped into one another and mixed up acceptance speeches marked one of the best moments of last year's Emmys.
But it wasn't as funny as the year before when Poehler, Tina Fey and their sister Best Comedy Actress nominees bounded to the stage and preened Miss America-style until Melissa McCarthy was crowned winner. Or 2009's gag when Poehler wore an eye patch and convinced most of the nominees to don goofy glasses.
That kind of gentle, yet mocking irreverence will serve Poehler and Fey well as they prepare to host the Golden Globes Jan. 13 on NBC. The news, coupled with the recent announcement of "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane as Oscars host Feb. 24 on ABC, bodes for an awards season worth laughing at.
For Fey, one of our strongest comedic forces, the gig marks an opportunity for a victory lap as she ends a seven-season run on "30 Rock" that proved a critical and creative success. It's also a good sign she plans to keep playing the comedy game.
For Poehler, the Globes stint comes as "Parks and Recreation" begins to get the recognition it deserves, setting the stage for the wonk-driven comedy to anchor NBC's Thursday night lineup as "30 Rock" and "The Office" bow out after this season.
While either of the quick-witted comedians would be fine hosting alone, they're a proven team, from their Second City improv days to "Baby Mama" to "Weekend Update" to their 2008 dueling Sarah Palin-Hillary Clinton sketch, a "Saturday Night Live" classic.
Still, they face the formidable challenge of replacing Ricky Gervais, who owned the Globes over the last three years, fearlessly puncturing Hollywood pretensions with his sharp, untethered tongue.
Gervais would have been a great pick to host the Academy Awards. But we're pleased with the choice of "Ted" director MacFarlane, who never met a sacred cow he didn't want to topple. He's also a talented singer, an Oscars-friendly skill.
Fey, Poehler and MacFarlane presumably will follow the lead of Gervais, who revived the seemingly forgotten notion that awards shows shouldn't be a celebration of Hollywood as much as an opportunity to tweak the stars while entertaining a mass audience.
MacFarlane and, to a lesser extent, Fey and Poehler, aren't instantly recognizable to the worldwide viewership these shows attract. But we suspect they'll offer laughs quickly enough to give them global appeal.

If you are reading this, you likely know I left a highly-successful, self-titled show at MSNBC last June in search of meaning and purpose in my work and life. I had lost both after 18 years in Manhattan and the chaos surrounding the hollow political debates permeating America's media and politics.
After 780 hours of political cable news, 6000 hours of live financial television, 45 cities, 2 national jobs tours, 277,963 signatures to amend The Constitution, 245 pages of book and a promotion tour for Greedy Bastards, I was exhausted.
It was a three-tour Iraq combat Marine and his war-protestor wife who pointed me in a new direction. They were guests on my show last June discussing how they were bootstrapping their way to operate a high-yield hydroponic organic farm that uses 90 percent less water and produces three times as much food. It was a business that promised to cure food deserts -- areas where access to fresh and healthy food is limited -- while having the potential to create jobs for thousands of combat veterans, each of whom was the beneficiary of $1 million in military training while on active duty.
The couple even created a school where they trained other veterans to open their own farms or establish their own organic businesses in pursuit of a dream of creating thousands of American jobs and feeding millions of people.
They garnered the support of a senior military general and his wife, who were so inspired that they decided to do anything they could to help other veterans find meaningful work healing communities by teaching them how to build and run their own sustainable food-producing systems.
I returned late last summer to where I grew up in the Adirondack Mountains, I imagined those veterans partnering with industry leaders, scientists, Hollywood producers and Texas oilmen in a project that could create millions of domestic jobs while solving America's core challenges: sustainable food, health, energy, education and infrastructure. The model had been set by my grandparents' generation when returning World War II Veterans re-built America into a modern age.
From Imagination to Reality...
Since I left MSNBC and Dylanratigan.com last June, I first started working with these inspiring visionary veterans on the phone, and then in person to expand their dream and help turn it into a reality. The process alone has restored meaning and purpose in my life, my health and spirit have taken on a renewed vitality and, because of my time with you, I have had the opportunity and privilege to literally put my money where my mouth is.
Last Fall, I moved from NYC to north San Diego County, just outside of the Camp Pendleton Marine Base, to work full-time with Colin and Karen Archipley at their hydroponic organic farm, "Archi's Acres." After realizing how impressive their ideas and effectiveness are, I decided to invest the money that I earned for writing Greedy Bastards (which when combined with a loan from Whole Foods) to build a 30,000 square foot "farm incubator" that can serve as the prototype for job-creating, water-saving, food-producing, veteran-led hydroponic organic greenhouses nationwide. We've even enlisted Major General Melvin Spiese and his wife Filomena to join us in support of our mission to make this program more diverse and robust enough to build it into a nationwide network.
Our Intention...
Our intention is to create real value and good jobs in countless American communities, by harnessing the power of the 1% of Americans who served in the past decade of war. These high capacity people have already demonstrated their unique ability to be trained and subsequently serve with distinction under most arduous and demanding conditions, and we can leverage those qualities and skills against some of our greatest needs. We have begun redeploying returning veterans and unemployed civilians to US cities, while coordinating with city, state and federal governments to create good jobs providing local, fresh food, reduced energy waste and pollution, improved wellness and rebuild infrastructure.
With more than a decade of war winding down, we have a wealth of returning veterans. This gives us a unique and powerful opportunity to refocus their training on transitioning our nation to sustainable systems, as they transition themselves from military to civilian life.
While we are just getting started on our national rollout at Archi's Acres, I believe all of this is possible if we work together with a shared vision. Together, we can join in a mission to learn, model and scale a high-integrity value-based culture. Together, we can heal and evolve America into a sustainable, healthy and prosperous future.
- Dylan
PS: You can see us in action tomorrow March 21ST on ABC's "The Chew." Tune in at 1PM EST / 12 PST to see the farm, meet the veterans and get a good kale salad recipe.

Buildings-based traditional retail chain Borders has launched its eBook Store today, selling titles powered by the popular Kobo eReader system. Borders says it wants to capture a rather arbitrary 17 percent of the eBook market by July 2011.
With 1.5million eBooks available to buy now and "thousands" of free titles available in ePub, mobile and PDF formats, Borders is expecting this to help it sell more units of physical eReaders—and says sales of the Kobo eReader and Aluratek Libre through the chain have already "surpassed sales expectations."
If you're happier with an app, the free Android and BlackBerry eReaders have joined the iPad and iPhone versions and gone live today—get the list of supported phones over at Borders. You Android users will need 2.x or above for a start. [Borders]

I've been studying I/O recently, using the Sun tutorials mainly as my primary resoucre and I've come across I few syntactical issues that I don't quite understand and would appreciate any light at all you guys could shine on them.
I realise in the above that a BufferedReader class is being declared and instantiated, with the argument being passed to it being a FileReader. This I believe is an example of chaining right? But I guess the big question I find myself asking is why isn't there a reference being made for the FileReader class? why just the instantiation by itself?
And secondly, am I right in thinking that the FileReader class is a high level stream? Which thus means it requires a low level one to even be operating. Where is this if this is the case - is it just assumed within Java?
Thanks for any help.

It is among the darker facets of human nature that we are often unable to look away from a scandal. From the more innocuous fluff of celebrity gossip, to the darker fodder of murder, assault and kidnapping, we are often riveted.
Take the O.J. Simpson murder trial, for example. In 1995, television ratings skyrocketed to over 30% above average for the prosecution's opening remarks. Not only was the crime grisly and tragic, but it involved a celebrity. Despite our disgust, we didn't look away.
One of France's most infamous criminals was bank robber Jacques Mesrine, who wreaked havoc in the sixties and seventies. Seen as a sort of Robin Hood, Mesrine garnered public sympathy as a member of the economically downtrodden, and charmed the masses with his daring escapes and taunts of police. But Mesrine was involved in the strangling death of an elderly woman and shooting deaths of two forest rangers, among other violent incidents. Despite the horror (and in part because of it - Mesrine was gunned down by police in 1979), Mesrine captured the fascination of the public. There are books and movies about him, and in December 2011, three silver-gelatin print photographs of Mesrine sold for $7,400 making our monthly most expensive sales list.
Regardless of the nature of the crime, the combination of crime and fame make for a spectacle few can ignore, and when there is even a hint of a story, without a doubt there is someone willing and eager to write it.
Nobody seems to personify that more than Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, better known as Bonnie and Clyde, the infamous American depression-era outlaws. Their exploits have been hailed as a great love story, even resulting in a popular song, The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde by English R&B singer Georgie Fame. In actuality, the story of Bonnie Clyde is more ruthless than romantic, and the two were responsible for the deaths of at least nine people. Want to learn more? You can find a copy of their biography as told by Bonnie's mother and Clyde's sister.
If you want a collectible piece of mob memorabilia, there's a cancelled check signed by Meyer Lansky, co-founder of the National Crime Syndicate, or a photograph of Al Capone himself, complete with his autograph. More comfortable with fictional crime bosses? A first edition of The Godfather, signed by Mario Puzo, may be right up your alley.
Italy and the United States certainly haven't cornered the market on outlaws - Australia's Ned Kelly is celebrated by some folks as a national hero for his disobedience of 19th century colonial rule, and condemned by others as a no-good, illiterate thug and scofflaw. We have two true firsts of Peter Carey's interpretation of the Ned Kelly story, signed by the author. See True History of the Kelly Gang.If you prefer insider trading, impeachment and embezzlement to rat-a-tat-tat and robbery, we have some titillating items to show you. One bookseller is offering an inscribed photograph of Richard Nixon as president. For just $2,200, you could have Nixon hanging in your home forever (what a thought!). Nixon enthusiasts rejoice - we also have an anniversary commemorative souvenir copy of Nixon's resignation letter, matted, framed and signed by Tricky Dick in the flesh.
Some of the most unforgettable cases in history, from white collar crime and politics, to cheating and lying, to adultery and infidelity, to murder and more, have been immortalized on paper. These are the books that document some dark chapters and dark people in history, telling the tales of scandal from the mild to the murderous.

Through IBM's predictive analytics software and business consulting services, the new solution harnesses big data from instrumented assets and identifies irregularities in the manufacturing process, spots product irregularities, and forecasts a range of asset performance risks before a problem ever arises.
Operating, maintaining, and managing assets throughout their lifecycle is a massive built-in expense, made even more critical by the frequency of unpredicted, catastrophic machine failures. Asset downtime, especially, if unplanned, is a multi-million dollar issue for organizations; and the related unscheduled maintenance costs can range from three to 10 times the cost of scheduled maintenance.
"The world is entering a new era of smart - where decisions will be based on facts, data, and increasingly on the ability to apply analytics to massive data sets and extract very precise business insights," said Fred Balboni, senior partner, Big Data Analytics, IBM Global Business Services. "Companies realize they have a new opportunity to capitalize on big data to address some of the intractable issues of the past, drive new levels of business efficiency, and create new levels of value for their customers. Our data shows us that businesses that are applying analytics to structured and unstructured data are outperforming their competitors in every industry."
Envision the myriad of components that combine to form the complex automobile manufacturing line. How can a decision maker know when it's time to replace any one of the thousands of machine parts, robots or sensors; and beyond that, how the line - or an oil rig, or a piece of heavy equipment - can be taken off line for maintenance with minimal economic impact? IBM's new solution will uncover these data-driven insights, examining both static and streaming information, combined with analysis of asset sensors correlated with domains such as environmental and facilities monitoring systems.
This new integrated solution analyzes big data from multiple static and streaming sources to make informed decisions by generating predictive statistical models to predict equipment failure conditions and create alerts. The alerts are then displayed on an employee or manager's tablet, smart phone or browser with recommended corrective actions that should be taken through interactive tools that perform root cause analytics and process improvements.
This new offering is intended to help clients in the Automotive, Electronics, Aerospace, Defense, Manufacturing, Mining, Transportation, Telecommunications and Energy and Utilities industries. For example:
· In the City of Cambridge, Ontario, the transportation and public works department found itself less able to complete inspections and preventive maintenance because its resources were increasingly being used to respond to emergency repair calls. The city established a division devoted to asset management and with the help of IBM analytics they are evolving from a break-fix mode of operation moving toward more proactive, industry based practices to boost the quality of city services and address infrastructure sustainability.
· A global auto manufacturer was looking to improve its production quality. With IBM analytics the company was able to use real-time data to monitor the production quality and more quickly identify and resolve issues. This resulted in a reduced the defect rate by 50 percent in 16 weeks in the production of their cylinder heads and increased customer satisfaction.
· Another global manufacturing company was looking to more quickly detect part defects. Through IBM analytics the company implemented an early detection model and is now saving $130M on warranty costs per year.
· A regional utility company needed to maintain an aging infrastructure. By implementing IBM predictive analytics technology into their supply chain processes they can now detect potential problems before they occur, and have seen 20 percent productivity gains for service trucks and up to 20 percent reduction of fuel costs due to fewer truck rolls.
Armed with facts on equipment performance, organizations across a range of industries will anticipate potential failures in their manufacturing systems, supply chains and distribution networks before something goes wrong -- and improve operational efficiency as well as customer satisfaction with proactive responses that prevent or minimize potential issues.
"Analytics technology gives us valuable insight into trends and what we can expect in the future," said Michael Hausser, Director of Asset Management and Supporting Services, Transportation and Public Works Department, City of Cambridge. "We were heading toward a point where reliability of service would be reduced and we'd be beyond our resource capacity to re-actively resolve issues in a timely manner. We are in transition to be more proactive and gain efficiencies in day to day maintenance management activities."
IBM Signature Solution - Predictive Asset Optimization
According to engineering estimates, the U.S. will need to spend $2.2 trillion over the next five years just to bring national infrastructures up to date. This includes improvements to roads, bridges, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications and more. Understanding the data about those systems, and generated by those systems, has never been more urgent.
IBM is introducing new capabilities through its Predictive Asset Optimization solution, that provides deeper insights into the health of an organization's assets by proactively maintaining and reducing operation and maintenance costs This broadens IBM's capabilities and portfolio of IBM Signature Solutions, that take the power of predictive analytics to new levels of impact for the highest-priority issues of C-suite decision makers.
The Predictive Asset Optimization solution is implemented by IBM business consultants, supported by industry-leading applications management services capabilities, and cloud offerings.

My Secret Weapon: No Cell Phone
Let me tell you about my secret weapon for being in the moment…it's as simple as not owing a smart phone.
It may come as a shock to many of you out there, but our family owns nothing more than a cheap pay as you go cell phone. We keep it in the vehicle for emergencies and might use it for one or two calls per month. Yeah, we just might be the only ones left in the world without a smart phone.
I get asked about it all the time and people cannot believe that I can run a website (or even function on a daily basis) without an iPhone or some other similar device. But it's been this way for years and I don't really plan on changing things.
I'm a guy who's on my computer a lot, and I'm the first to admit how disconnected I am to things around me while on it. But here's the beauty of it all. When I'm away from home or if my computer screen is shut, I'm in the moment and can focus on my Family or whomever else I'm with. No distractions, no temptation to get online, and no pinging or dinging sounds from my pocket.
I'll also never be one of those drivers who spends more time looking at their cell phone screen than the road, because I simply do not use one. Oh, and you haven't already, I invite all cyclists to join our "Drop the Phone" campaign.
I have no problems with smart phones or how consumed many people are with them. I'm just saying that I prefer my life this way and feel so free by not having one for myself. It really is my secret weapon.
I still might have a few things to learn about living life in the moment, but I sure do know that being cell phone free is something that helps get me closer to being fully there.

GI: ''Publisher confident that "Nintendo will take steps to ensure that the Wii U is successful in the market."
it's a smart move on ubisofts part to stick with the wiiu. if ea isn't any competition on the system they have a chance to make a lot of sales that would have otherwise went to ea.
their franchises are great and they'll be getting a hell of a lot of nintendo fans money AND loyalty. smart move, Ubi.
Funnily enough, a lot of people have recently reaffirmed their faith in Ubisoft.
Yes there smart I bet you rayman still sells the most on wii u even with less consoles out there then ms or Sony
I don't plan on buying a WiiU, but it sucks to see so many publishers bash the system...glad at least one is not giving up..


text: Cigar 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Hello all, Roughly 5 years ago I purchased the Tannhauser core set. As much as I loved the art direction and theme (occult nazis ftw!), the rulebook left MUCH to be desired as me and my father were left with endless rule questions. I ended up selling my game on ebay, but continued to watch its progress over the years. I noticed there was a revised rule book that was released as well as a proverbial boatload of miniatures and expansions to further flesh out the game. My question for all you veterans is this: Is the game worth getting back into? I only ask this now because I noticed the incredible sale on Tannhauser stuff that's going on right now. Seems like the best time to get back in, especially if they will end up cancelling its print in the future (just read about that). However, I have no idea how much the game changed with the new rule book. Furthermore me and dad only played 2 games before realizing that we didn't know enough about the gameplay mechanics to continue playing. Any unbiased and detailed responses are most welcome. Thanks!

Governor seeks law to end social promotion
Gov. wants to hold students back who can't read proficiently
Gov. Susana Martinez will once again push her plan to get more New Mexico kids to graduate, and she said a lot of that depends on students reading proficiently by the fourth grade.
Martinez wants a law that won't allow third graders to move on if they're not reading at the level they should be. She will also ask the legislature for $13.5 million to get younger kids the reading help they need.
"I think it's hurting our children because if you're not reading at third grade level you are four times likely to drop out of school," Martinez said.
There is opposition to the governor's plan.
"There should never be one point and time for every kid. Every kid develops different," said Ellen Bernstein, the president of the Albuquerque teacher's union.
Bernstein also believes it's parents who should be making the choice to hold a child back, not lawmakers.

I am a big proponent of going green. We have looked at things that could save energy for years. We would love to be off the grid, but it all costs money folks, and some of it big money.
My dad's family were thought to be Dutch German. My nephew has found out they are Norwegian, but I am thinking that folks might have thought they were Dutch because of the popular belief that the Dutch were a frugal lot. My dad's family was definitely a frugal lot.
This was the usual group who we would visit with, twice a month when we drove to Kankakee, Illinois to visit my sister. That is Granddad and Grandma to the left, then Uncle Clifford holding Richard and next to him Aunt Lucille with David Merle VanVleck in front of her. Aunt Laura and her husband were behind and then, at the right side is my mother, Phyllis DeWitt and my dad (in uniform) Harold VanVleck. In front of mom is my sister, Evelyn, and next to her is my brother David Merle VanVleck (1942-1990). I was not on the scene yet.
Yes, you read that right; cousins each named David Merle VanVleck. It was not as common a name as John Doe. One lived in Indiana and one in Illinois so no one thought there was a problem with it. However, when my brother got out of the Air Force, he ended up living in Kankakee, Illinois and boy did the problems arise then. If you are going to be frugal with a name, and use it twice in a family, make sure that one of them isn't a rather shady character. My brother had to repeatedly prove that he did not owe the money or had not done the deed.

Sleeping more can make you a better athlete.
At least that was the experience of 11 students on the Stanford men's varsity basketball team. A just-published study showed that those who slept more than they usually did ran faster and scored more baskets.
The students, who undoubtedly loved the research, were told to get as much sleep as possible with a minimum goal of 10 hours per night. They seemed to have no trouble complying, adding an average of 111 minutes to their usual sleep time. After two to four weeks of this, they were not only better athletes, they were happier.
Lead author Cheri Mah writes that subjects also reported improved overall ratings of physical and mental well-being during practices and games. It's not the first time our friends at Stanford have told aspiring athletes to get more sleep. A similar study of swimmers found more sleep time brought faster times in the pool.
Mah believes athletes across all sports can greatly benefit from extra sleep and gain the additional competitive edge to perform at their highest level.
Of course, most of us will never make the varsity team at Stanford or anywhere else, but there are a lot of weekend warriors out there, trying to cram exercise into an already packed schedule.
Getting up at 5 a.m. to run or walk vigorously may make you feel virtuous, but you might be smarter to roll over and find time later in the day for that exercise.
Mah recommends avoiding sleep debt by getting seven to eight hours for adults, nine or more hours for teens and young adults. She also comments that while the negative effects of sleep deprivation are well known, scant research has been done about the virtues of sleep extension.
There are well-known physiological differences in the way men and women sleep. Harvard researchers found significant gender differences in melatonin levels and core body temperature.
Another group, studying the effect of having more women in NATO military forces, suggested women may have a lower resistance to sleep deprivation and to stress than men.
They also noted more women seem to be morning people than men.
Men are certainly not immune to the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.
Eve Van Caulter of the University of Chicago took a group of young, healthy guys and restricted them to four hours of sleep per night for a week. She found negative effects on glucose tolerance, pancreatic function and the stress hormone cortisol.
She suggests some of the chronic health problems seen in the poor, such as obesity, may have their roots in not getting enough repose. Their sleep is often restricted by work schedules, noisy environments and bad living conditions.
But what if you have trouble falling asleep?
That could be a warning, according to research published last year in the journal Sleep. In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh found a predictive link between certain sleep symptoms and the dreaded metabolic syndrome. This is a condition, often marked by obesity, which greatly increases the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.
Wendy Troxel and colleagues followed more than 800 patients for three years. They found that of the sleep symptoms, difficulty falling asleep, unrefreshing sleep and loud snoring significantly predicted the development of the metabolic syndrome. So, getting enough sleep might be part of a good health and weight loss plan.
There are even economic aspects to sleepy time. A fascinating paper by Pierre Brochu and associates at the University of Ottawa found sleep time decreases when the economy is doing relatively better. When we were in a recession, Canadians slept an extra 22 minutes on average per day. Perhaps they had no reason to set the alarm clock.
Brochu also makes the intriguing suggestion that reduced sleep times may help explain the increase in accidents seen in boom times. Sleepy people make mistakes. It may seem that 22 minutes is an insignificant difference, but our biological clocks are very sensitive.
Brochu notes even small changes in sleep generate measurable effects: increased motor vehicle accidents are documented following both weekends involved with the one-hour daylight time changes.
Before you lose sleep over how much sleep you're getting, it's important to note there are huge individual differences in what we require. The working definition of getting enough sleep is you don't experience daytime sleepiness and can work or play properly.
Then again, if you want to score those extra baskets, win that half marathon, or negotiate that brilliant business deal, well, you know what to do. Zzzzz.

The Mapleson Cylinders - Program Notes
|Band 15
Wagner: DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG: Prize Song excerpt: "Huldreichster Tag"...to end of solo section
Unidentified performers (tenor, orchestra?), date
Found on the same cylinder as the Ave Maria (above, Band 13), this is the Abgesang of Walther von Stolzing's "Prize Song," with a concert ending instead of the choral epilogue found in the opera (and therefore certainly not recorded at a performance of the opera). Again, distortion is so fierce as to obscure the exact nature of the accompanying forces (Tom Owen suggests that it may be simply a harmonium). If orchestrally accompanied, it might come from a Sunday-evening concert, possibly that of January 17, 1904, when Burgstaller sang and Mottl conducted (the same concert from which the Wagner Kaisermarsch on Side 10/Band 11 may come), or that of March 6, 1904, when Dippel sang and Hertz conducted.

Alaska West is the world-class fishing lodge in Western Alaska – home of legendary fly fishing for rainbow trout, silver salmon, king salmon and more.
You won't need a coat and tie to wear to dinner, and you won't have to worry about tracking mud on the carpet. No one will be offended by your cigar smoke or your drink spilled laughing around the campfire. You will catch fish till your arms are sore and your back aches.
You'll spend quality time with quality people like yourself and you won't believe what a special river you are fishing. You will leave camp a little heavier than when you arrived and if you're like the majority of the anglers that visit Alaska West, you will return.
Our Operation
Alaska West is located on the Kanektok River in Western Alaska. We fish for all five species of Pacific salmon, as well as rainbow trout, dolly varden and grayling. Our guests stay with us at the lodge each night and go fishing each day with two anglers per guide fishing out of 18 foot jet boats.
Getting to Alaska West means flying to Anchorage and then taking a series of flights from Anchorage to the lodge (which we arrange for you).
Our Season
Our season runs from the third week of June through the end of August each summer. Our fishery is incredibly productive and folks who know call it a 'fish factory.'
Most of our guests like catching a variety of fish species – all season long we have trout, dolly varden and grayling available, and various salmon species as well. King salmon are available from the third week of June through end middle of July, and silver salmon are a target from late July through the end of August.
Our Fishing
Our fishing for silver salmon is really fast-paced and lots of fun for anglers of all backgrounds. Since we're targeting them between 1 and 8 miles from the saltwater, they're bright, very aggressive and fight hard – they're known for going airborne during a fight. We use floating lines and brightly-colored flies – streamers as well as surface patterns like poppers and pollywogs.
Our trout fishing is amazing, with flesh, egg, sculpin and leech patterns all producing at various times. Our river is an excellent place to fish giant dry flies that imitate mice and voles – 'mousing' is about as fun as it gets.
When fresh king salmon are in the river, we target them with swung flies, and often with two-handed rods. These fish are hot and bright, and they crush swung flies – this fishing is totally different from the upriver nymphing techniques used to target kings in many other parts of Alaska.
In late July, many of our guests like to pursue the Salmon Grand Slam – all five species of Pacific salmon, all on flies, all on the same day. We use a variety of fly fishing techniques when we're going for the Grand Slam, and that's a big part of the fun – lots of techniques, lots of fish, lots of different water.
Our Accommodations
We call our accommodations 'comfortable but casual.' We pride ourselves on a very high level of service and on delivering a great experience during your stay, but we are not trying to be a 'luxury lodge.' The atmosphere is relaxing and a heck of a lot of fun.
Fishing at Alaska West costs $6,395 per person for a 7 night / 6 day trip during our 2019 season.
More on Alaska West
The best way to learn more about Alaska West is to contact us about fishing in Alaska.
We have a ton of information available here on our web site too. Here are some links to get you started.

Online learning at Penn State continues to grow. A whopping 42% of our resident students have taken an online course. Predictions are that the number of online students will continue to increase and as a result, we are thinking of how to best help faculty in their transition to online instruction. One tactic is to encourage mentoring of new faculty and last fall the Faculty Engagement subcommittee of the Penn State Online Coordinating Council and the Schreyer Institute piloted an online mentoring program for those new to online teaching (http://www.schreyerinstitute.psu.edu/onlinementor). The intent of this effort is to provide instructional support for those teaching online and to create opportunities for networking with others teaching online.
The online mentoring experience is intended to last a semester and is, first and foremost, a collegial relationship. Through the mentor's personal guidance, the prot�g� can question and explore online teaching strategies and expectations. Dialogue drives this relationship, but the mentor can also review online course activities and interactions. What is needed and how to go about getting those needs are met is something that is left to the devices of the mentor and prot�g�.
What do you think — would a mentor be helpful to you as you begin teaching online? Or would you like a mentor even though you have taught online? By engaging in a mentoring relationship, you can ask questions, share comments, voice concerns, dissect instructional strategies, and feel connected to someone else who has walked in your shoes.

A glimpse at piracy in the UK and beyond
By Dave Lee
Technology reporter, BBC News
- Published
Manchester has been named the piracy capital of the UK, according to a new study seen exclusively by the BBC.
The research said there were more illegal downloads per person in the city than any other in the country, followed by Nottingham and Southampton.
The statistics, from monitoring service Musicmetric, conclude that in the first half of 2012, UK users illegally shared over 40 million albums and singles.
Industry group, the BPI said it showed piracy "remains a significant problem".
The data, collected independently by Musicmetric and seen exclusively by the BBC, is believed to be the biggest analysis of its kind to be conducted.
It monitored the global activity of BitTorrent files - a method of obtaining files by downloading from many users at the same time.
The data's release came as measures to attempt to curb illegal downloading began to take hold, such as the blocking of popular piracy websites and the relegation and removal of search results from Google.
Musicmetric's findings said that singer Ed Sheeran was the most pirated act in the UK for the first half of 2012, followed by hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks and Barbadian megastar Rihanna.
The data suggested that Ed Sheeran's 2011 album + (Plus) was illegally downloaded an average of 55,512 times every month, and was the most popular download in over 460 towns and cities in the UK.
Legal UK sales of his album in the first half of 2012 hit the 448,000 mark - making it the fourth most popular album behind releases from Adele, Emeli Sande and Lana Del Rey.
Download nation
Globally, the research suggested that the UK is a significant player on the world stage as a country of illegal music downloaders.
The country was placed second in the world in terms of pure volume of illegal activity, with Musicmetric logging 43,263,582 downloads in the first six months of this year.
The US topped the list, with 96,681,133 downloads tracked in the same period.
Italy (33,158,943), Canada (23,959,924) and Brazil (19,724,522) made up the remainder of the top five.
Rihanna's latest album - Talk That Talk - was found to be the world's most pirated release - Musicmetric tracked 1,228,313 downloads for the title in the first half of 2012.
In its analysis of the UK's data, Musicmetric has estimated that 345 million individual tracks made up the torrent files downloaded by British music fans.
According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the UK's music industry body, the figures were having a "significant effect on investment in new music".
"According to their data, there are more illegal downloads in the UK still than there are legal purchases," the BPI's chief executive Geoff Taylor told the BBC.
"[It] compares to about 240 million tracks that were sold legally. A lot of people are getting very rich from stealing other people's things.
"That's wrong, and we think that musicians deserve to be paid for what they do, just like everyone else."
However, Loz Kaye, leader of the Pirate Party UK - who will be attempting to become Manchester's next MP in the next election - said the complaints of record labels is "protectionism".
"We need to remove the barriers for actual artists to connect with their business and their fans," he told the BBC.
"The truth is, why [music industry figures] are complaining so much is that with a properly functioning internet, and a properly functioning economy, the big players are no longer necessary."

The CEOs of nine major environmental groups came out in force this week responding to a letter sent by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to ministers in the European Union in which the Secretaries voiced objection to Europe's pioneering law to reduce global warming pollution from airplanes.
The CEOs expressed their extreme disappointment with the U.S. objections to the EU law. They noted that "Asking America's allies to back down on strongly supported domestic legislation to reduce global warming pollution from aviation is simply not consistent with the historical U.S. leadership role on either the environment or the rule of law. If ever there was a time for U.S. leadership in both areas, it is here and now."
International aviation represents a significant and fast-growing source of emissions. And, given nearly fifteen years of inaction by the International Civil Aviation Organization (the United Nations agency for aviation affairs), the EU has enacted a reasonable and effective law to address a portion of the sector's emissions. The U.S. should be applauding such efforts, not thwarting them.
Earlier this week, Europe's highest court ruled that the EU aviation directive is fully consistent with international law and relevant bilateral agreements. The high-profile case pit the U.S. airline industry against the EU and leading U.S. environmental groups, who joined European groups in supporting the EU law.
Given the imperative to reduce emissions as quickly, effectively, and efficiently as possible, and in light of the Court's ruling this week, what we need from the U.S. government is political will, creativity, and a keen eye to the future. Instead, we're confronted with myopic objections to a reasonable and effective law to reduce emissions. What's more, we see little indication that the U.S. government is ready to take action either domestically or internationally to reduce emission from aviation.
As the letter to Secretaries Clinton and LaHood states, EDF and other groups are "eager to work with [the U.S. government] on creative approaches that overcome the logjams in ICAO and that capitalize on the innovative power of America's aviation industry."

Economist on Stocks Selloff: This Storm Will Pass

Groupon prices in the lock in that building costs this much consumers ... to have the risk is that the marker reaction as ups of killing the golden goose business ultimately if there is if we continue to see thirty forty basis points a week ... after the next day a month and a half then I would say yes ... but my guess is that this won't continue and frankly if it did continue ... that would be a signal back to the Fed to say hey we're not can it tapers ... because they don't want the economy is slowly there ... they just one and the easy process and have the economy cruising along at a decent ... enough pace for growth to bring down unemployment but ... if there's enough of an overreaction markets to what they're saying ... and then that'll feedback in terms of what the actually do ... so ... and I think there is a limit to how much the bond market sell off here in the near term ... unity your U S economist versus gonna throw you a foreign question is is is it so important it is time that China is ... of ... concern it is slowing ... that's awesome people expected and that seems to be some concerns in the money markets ... is there a way in which this can feed through to the U S to Review supposes an a but isn't that disinflation effect the Apple has also growth concerns ... what does that mean for us well I mean you always think in terms of real ... tree flows ... and in terms of financial contagion ... and frankly the financial contagion effects with China if early limited because that ... they really not open financial markets compared with the rest the world so do the stand ... there are ... banking ... issues in China it doesn't really directly affect us to grow so much ... whoever if that impact their economy and growth in China ... collapsed and that certainly would affect global growth in general no not convinced that that's happening ... the new numbers of generally been ok they're getting seven or eight percent GDP growth in China ...
