Portuguese is the fifth most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken language in the Western world. There are over 260 million speakers.
Portuguese is an important language for the African Diaspora. It is spoken in countries such as Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, and Brazil. Learning Portuguese will give you access to a wealth of cultural and academic materials about these countries' history, literature, religions, and society.
There are many Brazilian communities in the United States, including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Miami, Atlanta, and other areas (see the Language Map of the Modern Language Association www.mla.org/map_main). Learning Portuguese would allow you to serve these communities in your future profession, whether you will be a lawyer, a doctor, a psychologist, a business owner, or an educator.
Students who complete Portuguese 301 and one other 300 or 400-level course with a grade of B or above are eligible to receive a departmental Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese.
Portuguese 101-102 These courses introduce students to the Portuguese language. They encourage meaningful and contextualized use of the language through reading, listening, writing and speaking tasks based on pedagogical and authentic materials. Through a very hands-on approach to language learning, students use the language in simulations of everyday interactions, manipulating grammar and vocabulary in order to communicate. Topics covered in this class include university life, friends and family, leisure activities, clothing, and sports. All topics are connected with the everyday culture of the Portuguese-speaking world.
Portuguese 201-202 These courses are designed to develop students' fundamental linguistic skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing with emphasis on oral proficiency. It reinforces and builds upon skills acquired at the 100 level, introducing students to new grammatical structures and vocabulary related to seasons and celebrations, work, food, health, travelling, the environment, society, and technology. These courses also aim to expand students' knowledge of everyday culture, as expressed through language, in Portuguese-speaking countries. Portuguese 301 This course, Conversation, Composition and Culture, develops students' linguistic skills in Portuguese bridging the intermediate and advanced levels. It encourages meaningful and contextualized use of the Portuguese language with an emphasis on speaking and writing. Each class focuses on topics of personal and general interest, including family, leisure activities, seasons and celebrations, and current events in the Portuguese-speaking world, with a focus on Brazil.
Portuguese 352
Luso-Afro-Brazilian Cinema (cross-listed as CWS 352 and SIS 352, counts as an elective for the Women Studies major and minor, the International Studies major and minor, or the Sociology/Anthropology major).
Taught in English, this course focuses on the cinema of the Portuguese-speaking world. It covers topics such as gender, race, the city, migration, violence, and history in the cultures of Brazil, Portugal, and Portuguese-speaking Africa as represented in film in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Students will watch several films and read scholarly work about the films in question, about the topics addressed in the films, and/or about the history and the societies of the Portuguese-speaking countries depicted in the films.
Questions addressed in this course include: How are women of various races and social backgrounds represented in Lusophone cinema? What social spaces do they occupy and what is their role in society and in history as represented in the films? What are the main issues pertaining to Lusophone history represented in films? How do the films reproduce or question official narratives about the history of different countries in the Portuguese-speaking world? What migration patterns are represented in the films? How do the films portray the causes and consequences of these migratory movements? How are images of rural and urban landscapes constructed in the films? What do these images tell us about socio-economic differences in these territories?
Singers from other nationalities that have recorded in or with Portuguese-speaking artists Portuguese: The Black Eyed Peas, Ben Harper, Frank Sinatra, Nelly Furtado, Laura Pausini, Diana Krall, Diego Torres, Alejandro Sanz, Shakira.

Aerojet Rocketdyne Successfully Completes 1st in a Series of Full-Motion Tests on America's Next Rocket Engine
The leading rocket engine manufacturer Aerojet Rocketdyne, a GenCorp (NYSE: GY) company, announced today that it successfully completed the first in a series of full motion hot-fire tests on the J-2X engine at John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. NASA has selected the J-2X as the upper-stage propulsion for the evolved 143aEUR'ton (130-metric ton) Space Launch System (SLS), an advanced heavy-lift launch vehicle.
"This successful test was extremely important in that it provided valuable information on how the engine will operate during flight as it steers humans aboard the Space Launch System to destinations beyond low-Earth orbit and ultimately to Mars," said Walt Janowski, program manager, Aerojet Rocketdyne. "The live fire also gives us an opportunity to ensure that the A-1 test stand, where the J-2X was gimbaled, will be ready to test the RS-25 engines, which will be used to power the core stage of the SLS in 2017."
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Global Market Outlook - Trends, Forecast, and Opportunity Assessment (2014-202...
The A-1 test stand allowed engineers to gimbal, or pivot, the J-2X engine during a live firing, and to test the range of motion for the engine's flexible parts. Gimbal tests on that stand were last performed on the Space Shuttle Main Engines, which powered all 135 space shuttle missions with 100 percent ascent mission success. Those engines, also called RSaEUR'25s, will return to the test stand in 2014 for use on the core stage of the SLS.

The 8 p.m. Wednesday performances attract an attentive, relaxed
City Band night resembles a scene you might witness on an
old-time movie set or in smaller towns of yesteryear.
The event draws an all-ages audience.
Older listeners tend to congregate on lawn chairs for a little
face time with the band leader. The children play tag, randomly
circle the flower beds or frolic in the Roosevelt fountain.

Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is nearly finished
Capcom's Kinect showcase is closing in on the finishing line at last.
Andriasang reports Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor was featured as part of Microsoft's Xbox 360 anniversary event this weekend, having been last seen behind closed doors at Tokyo Game Show 2011.
While no new footage was shown, producers Kenji Kataoka and Tatsuya Kitabayashi reportedly hinted that the game is nearing completion, and is expected to go gold soon.
Despite the long silences, and the game's failure to appear as expected at some trade events, Kataoka said development is proceeding nicely.
Heavy Armor: Steel Battalion is the long-overdue followup to an Xbox title which required a massive, expensive controller. This new version, a joint product of Capcom and Armored Core developer From Software, uses a standard controller in addition to Kinect.

This study is an update of research done primarily in the 1970s on gender representation in children's cartoons. In the present study, 175 episodes of 41 different cartoons were coded for numbers and demographic characteristics of male, female, and androgynous characters. Behaviors, communication characteristics, and total talk time of male and female characters were coded, along with copyright year and country of origin. Results indicated notable discrepancies between prominence and portrayal of male and female characters. Both male and female characters were portrayed stereotypically. Compared to female characters, male characters were given much more prominence, appeared more frequently, engaged in more of almost all of the noted behaviors, and talked significantly more. When male or female behavior and communication variables were divided by number of male or female characters or by total talk time, results indicated consistency with gender role stereotypes. Comparisons of pre- and post-1980 cartoons, however, indicated significant change toward a less stereotypical portrayal of the characters, particularly female characters.

I might be doing a coding competition soon, I was wondering if anyone made one and what where the guidelines/ process.
I'd like to make the competition appealing to all devs, and I m trying to come up with ideas as to how.
the scenario is: There is an event running and we(of the coding competition) will have a room that we can use (either to code or for questions, etc), however, ideally the task for the competition should be assignet and they should eb able to go and do other things, if they are so inclined. what i wonder is what kind of challenges to give, and most importantly, what is the criteria to "win" teaching and learning good coding standards takes a looong time, and I d like to think that if you ve been coding for longer you ll do things right and quick... but in a competition, you would be cutting corners... I would really appreciate your input on this
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I might be doing a coding competition soon, I was wondering if anyone made one and what where the guidelines/ process.
I'd like to make the competition appealing to all devs, and I m trying to come up with ideas as to how.
Limit the languages which can be submitted. If you don't, you may get proprietary languages which require a special purchased compiler or some other inconvenience.
This is easy. Provide an easy-to-read unit test in all languages you will accept. This will allow simple, automatic testing of submissions, and will guide the interface of the solution.
Create a theme. Make it focused, but not too specific as to require certain paradigms or language features. Then develop challenges based around that theme.
Assign points to each challenge. Give more points to more difficult problems. Be sure to review each challenge carefully and have a team attempt them before giving points so you can make a more accurate decision.
As @miorel mentioned in his answer, time limits and memory limits are wonderful. Set a time limit per test per challenge, or at least monitor them and have these metrics contribute to the points given for solving the problem.
A competition that's appealing to all devs? That sounds... difficult. But if you want to make the competition about problem solving and algorithms, then I am a big fan of the Sphere Online Judge. Basically this is a repository of programming puzzles but you can also become a problem setter and create problems or contests on the site.
It supports a huge number of programming languages, from the "popular" ones to more obscure ones. Programs will typically read from standard in, and write to standard out. The standard judge program will simply
Winner is whoever solved the most problems. Ties are broken by time of correct submissions, with some time penalty for wrong submissions.
You should look at the ACM competition. Each year they have collegiate programming competitions. These are language agnostic. The archive is located here.
To start improve yourself, you need a project you can work on, a problem you want to solve, something you want to achieve. Without any context and a destination you want to end, you won't be able to learn all the necessary methods and all the connections of a language.
There is a competition, taking place 2 times a year, it is called
Every time the competition starts, there is a voting on 5 days in sequence. Everyday you vote on a set of themes which can be possibly the theme you will have to create a game for. My last competition had the theme "unconventional weapon". After the voting ended, the competition starts and you have to think about a game with (in my case ) an unconventional weapon and start coding a game you like.
This is not about being the best, you should start looking at other peoples projects after the competition ended. You can learn a lot of other people, ways they solve their problem and I am sure you would improve your self every time taking place in such a contest.
It's gonna be hard to designed a coding competition suitable for a wide array of languages, since languages typically serve different purposes. I'd suggest that what you're looking for doesn't exist.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Maryland started Saturday's game without coach Brenda Frese, who can't travel because of her pregnancy. By the second overtime, posts Laura Harper and Jade Perry were out of action, too.
They fouled out -- and if there's one thing you don't want to have a shortage of against North Carolina, it's posts.
One of the Terps' rallying cries since their 2006 NCAA title season has been "Overtime is Our Time!" but Saturday, it was North Carolina's time.
Maryland's 97-86 loss in double OT was its first defeat in extra time since the Terps fell at Florida State in January 2005. Since then, Maryland had won eight overtime games in a row, including a double-overtime victory Sunday against Georgia Tech.
It's not too often a team will have to play double-overtime games back-to-back, but the Terps did.
"It's a little rare," said assistant coach Daron Park, who has coached the team on road games in Frese's absence. "But I don't know that we were tired in the second overtime. I thought our energy and conditioning were still good."
However, the Terps lost Harper in the first OT to fouls and Perry at the beginning of the second OT.
Crystal Langhorne finished with 23 points and eight rebounds, and Harper had 12 and 10. Marissa Coleman had 20 points and a team-high 13 rebounds -- although listening to her coughing afterward in the news conference, you wondered how she stayed in the game for the entire 50 minutes. She and Kristi Toliver were the only players on either team to go the distance
Toliver had 20 points and 14 assists, but also eight turnovers. And her 2-of-11 day from behind the arc was a big part of Maryland's struggles out there; the Terps were 5-for-27 from long range.
"There are things we can learn from this," Coleman said.
It has been a taxing stretch for the Terps the past two weeks. On Jan. 14, they got their first home win against Duke since 1998. Then Jan. 18, they had to rally at the end of the game to put away Virginia. Two days later, they fought through double OT against the Yellow Jackets.
The Terps had five days between that game and the battle with Carolina. The Tar Heels, incidentally, were one of Maryland's OT "victims" in recent seasons. The last time these teams met in Chapel Hill -- in February 2006 -- Maryland won in OT.
Maryland next is host to Miami on Thursday -- look out, Hurricanes -- then, for better or worse, the Terps have just five games in February.
At 22-2, Maryland is still in very good shape but the Terps left Chapel Hill knowing they could have been better.

|American Red Cross Issues Urgent Call For Blood And Platelet Donors
Blood donations needed now to prevent emergency situation
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 22, 2014) – The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give.
Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks.
Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed at this time. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients.
There is also an urgent need for platelet donations. Platelets – a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients, burn victims and bone marrow recipients – must be transfused within five days of donation, so it's important to have a steady supply of platelets on hand.
Every day this summer is a chance to give hope to patients in need and their network of family and friends. July 13 marked the half-way point for the Red Cross campaign "100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope." Blood and platelet donations are needed now and for the rest of the summer. Individuals who donated blood earlier this summer may now be eligible to donate again and help patients such as accident victims, heart surgery patients and children with blood disorders.
Upcoming Blood Donation Opportunities
Marshall County, TN August 14th at 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm at Church Street Church of Christ, 305 West Church Street, Lewisburg.

For Holiday Shoppers, Sale Is the Only Thing
By LESLIE KAUFMAN
Published: November 24, 2001
Lured by sales and discounts, consumers kicked off the holiday shopping season and ventured to stores yesterday in most parts of the country with rekindled appetites. The potentially sparkling start to the season was dulled, however, by sluggish sales in the nation's shopping capital, New York, and by fear that consumer interest could be sustained only with profit-demolishing prices.
Post-Thanksgiving giveaways are now part of the holiday landscape. But this year retailers came into the season scared, and discounts are both widespread and deep. Roughly 15 percent more merchandise in stores is marked down than last year, according to John D. Morris, a retail analyst for Gerard Klauer Mattison, who keeps a sales rack index.
Economists and merchants alike are watching closely to see if American consumers will help pull the economy out of recession. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of the nation's domestic output, and the holiday season is when consumers spend the most and have the greatest effect on economic growth.
Though stores around the country were full yesterday, shoppers seemed focused on the ubiquitous sales, and many said they planned to spend less this year than last.
Even those whose shopping bags were full seemed to strike a note of restraint. ''We're trying to tone it down a little,'' said Barbara Ruane, of Annandale, N.J., who was buying a white hooded sweater for her daughter Megan, 18, at the Bridgewater Commons mall in Somerset County. This year, Mrs. Ruane said, she is buying only ''things on sale and only things that everyone needs, nothing frivolous.''
Some who braved the lines before dawn said they were motivated by patriotism. ''I want to go shopping to help the economy,'' said Steve Wood, 29, a sales representative from Colbert, Ga., who already had a shopping cart of toys at 6:15 a.m. at the Toys ''R'' Us store in Athens, Ga., including an Easy Bake Oven marked down to $9.99 from $19.99,
Still, most consumers were there because they sensed a deal. Judy Bannister of Boston's South End said she usually avoided stores on the day after Thanksgiving, but she could not resist an offer she saw on full-size comforters: $20 each. Yesterday she walked out of Macy's in Boston with four of them.
Edward Osgood, 49, of Bourne, Mass., who was waiting for his wife outside the same store, thought the bargains were so good that he felt compelled to point them out to passers-by. ''Look, you pay a quarter, and you get $10,'' he said, pointing to a $10 off coupon for Macy's in a local newspaper. ''I've got two of them.''
The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because it is the start of the season that usually moves retailers from the red into the black. So it is a widely monitored gauge of the health of the retail industry in this make-or-break season.
Predictions for holiday sales tended to be on the grim side. Some of the most optimistic predictions came from the National Retail Federation, which said apparel and general merchandise purchases -- everything from furniture to music CD's -- would increase as much as 3 percent. Others were decidedly less ebullient. The annual retail survey by American Express, for example, found that consumers planned to spend 7 percent less than last year.
In recent weeks, American consumers have received a lot of help in the pocketbook department. Fuel prices have dropped, low mortgage rates on houses have touched off a wave of refinancing, and the last of the federal tax rebate checks arrived. The question now is whether such gains will offset consumers' fears of layoffs.
''The customer has the means. What we are watching now is do they have the will,'' said Carl Steidtmann, chief economist at Deloitte Research, who remains pessimistic.
Certainly the state of the economy was on the minds of many shoppers yesterday.
Anne Miller, 32, an occupational therapist and mother of two from Littleton, Colo., said that although she was not directly affected by layoffs, she was concerned about her husband's job in construction. ''I was a little more reserved this year,'' she said. ''I know what my limits are.''
The obsession with the economy is not good news for New York, which is known for indulging the world's most cosmopolitan and well-heeled shoppers rather than the most cost-conscious. The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 have devastated tourism, the source of much retail spending in the city, and layoffs on Wall Street are dampening the enthusiasm of other affluent shoppers.
The city's troubles are bad news for already embattled department store chains like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's, whose fortunes depend heavily on sales at their Manhattan stores.
There were markdowns in New York, of course. At Bloomingdale's, large rectangular red and black banners hanging from the ceiling announced savings of 20 to 50 percent throughout the store. Brooks Brothers, near Rockefeller Center, had an offer: buy one shirt and get a second one 40 percent off. At Kenneth Cole, customers were given 30 percent off and more on selected items -- a creamy brown leather jacket, normally $460, was reduced to $299.90. Still, the hordes of shoppers were nowhere to be found.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) - As rich nations give less money to poor countries, they are increasingly pressuring private corporations to help them support the world's neediest.
On Monday, dozens of business leaders - including members of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation - helped kick off the U.N. International Conference on Financing for Development by exploring how they can work with governments to help fight poverty.
The new cooperation between the public and private sectors appears to be in the interests of both. Anti-globalization protests have damaged corporations' images, and the Sept. 11 attacks showed how divisions between the world's rich and poor countries can explode in terrorism.
On Monday, hundreds of protesters marched through Monterrey's streets saying the meeting was more of the same thing. Police kept their distance, and no violence was reported.
Rich countries "have money spilling out of our wallets right now," said Jeffrey Sachs, director of Harvard University's Center for International Development. "On the other side, we have people dying for lack of basic needs."
U.N. officials estimate that $100 billion a year is needed to combat poverty, more than double what governments currently give. The European Union and the United States pledged last week to increase aid by billions of dollars.

I moved a wordpress blog from one hosting to another, I did a clean wp install and imported the data, but the galleries that were inserted into posts don't show up, although the images are in the media library. If there are single or multiple images in a post, but not as a gallery, they show up just fine. WordPress's standard tool was used when creating the galleries.
WP 3.2 was used on the other host, and now I installed the latest version, 3.5
I'm not sure if I posted this issue in the right place, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

In recent trading, shares of Scientific Games Corp have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $10.30, changing hands for $10.31/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level.
In trading on Monday, shares of Scientific Games Corp crossed below their 200 day moving average of $9.08, changing hands as low as $8.52 per share. Scientific Games Corp shares are currently trading off about 6.5% on the day.

Investors considering a purchase of Scientific Games Corp shares, but cautious about paying the going market price of $8.86/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2018 put at the $5 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $1.10.
The most recent short interest data has been released for the 05/13/2016 settlement date, which shows a 2,299,106 share decrease in total short interest for Scientific Games Corp , to 11,214,402, a decrease of 17.01% since 04/29/2016. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded.

Among the underlying components of the Russell 3000 index, we saw noteworthy options trading volume today in Scientific Games Corp , where a total of 12,830 contracts have traded so far, representing approximately 1.3 million underlying shares. That amounts to about 125% of SGMS's average daily trading volume over the past month of 1.0 million shares.

Scientific Games (SGMS) stock is jumping in late morning trading on Friday after the company reported its 2015 fourth quarter results.
Looking at options trading activity among components of the Russell 3000 index, there is noteworthy activity today in Scientific Games Corp , where a total volume of 26,509 contracts has been traded thus far today, a contract volume which is representative of approximately 2.7 million underlying shares (given that every 1 contract represents 100 underlying shares). That number works out to 232.3% of SGMS's average daily trading volume over the past month, of 1.1 million shares.
The most recent short interest data was recently released by the NASDAQ for the 01/29/2016 settlement date, and Scientific Games Corp is one of the most shorted stocks of the Russell 3000, based on 14.43 "days to cover" versus the median component at 4.92. There are a number of ways to look at short data, but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded.

Closed the remaining half of my DECK shorts from before last earning at $51.20. DECK breached previous low so I would like to hold onto it. But it was not by much and go down too slow today and I cannot bear to watch it go back up. I need fund and this thing has too low volume it's even difficult to close 2500 shares without driving the bid/ask up. So, if any body comes to close short with meaningful volume it would easily go up a dollar. And also tomorrow is monthly option expiration and don't want to get caught in option fight. If it goes down below 50, I may come back in selling puts. Until then, Adios DECK. I'll miss johndoolittle46's tireless posting.
good for you. At least someone is making money.

Republican Chances To Take House Rise Slightly: Nate Silver
We're heading toward the gun lap of the campaigns leading to the mid-term elections and the situation still looks pretty rosy for House Republicans in their quest to take the majority.
Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight writes:
The latest FiveThirtyEight projection for the House of Representatives shows little overall change from our previous update, released this weekend, but the Republican position has improved slightly. They are now given a 75 percent chance of winning the House on Nov. 2, up from 73 percent previously. During an average simulation run, the Republicans finished with a total of 228 seats (up from 227): this would reflect a net gain of 49 seats from their current position.
But Silver is no one-handed economist, to invoke Harry Truman's image. He says there's another side, the great unknown. So many of the races are competitive which, theoretically, could in the end find Democrats hanging on by their fingernails to their majority.
As I have warned repeatedly in the past, we believe that the uncertainty in the forecast is intrinsically quite high, stemming from the unusually large number of seats in play, and from differences of opinion among pollsters in how to calibrate their likely voter models to account for the so-called "enthusiasm gap."
Still, a 75-percent chance of winning are odds most people would gladly take.

Recent advances in biomedicine, pharmacology, and biotechnology open doors to the understanding how diseases are developed at the molecular and physiological level. This gain of understanding tremendously helps facilitate the design and discovery of drugs for therapeutic treatment. Despite the advances in the technology and new knowledge in systems biology, drug discovery is still a low process without utilizing scientific computations that allow precise and rapid analysis of biological processes under trials. This paper particularly addresses fractals as a computational tool for analyzing molecular imaging data that appear to be very useful sources of information for understanding the interactions and behaviors of complex biological networks and the development of predictive medicine. We study herein some fractal characteristics of fluorescent microscope images of peroxisomes, and propose the conceptual frameworks of fuzzy mixture fractal dimensions and fractal distortion measures for bioimage classification.

There were only a
few blows in it.
Our blade shearers put up a good fight but favourite South
Africa proved too strong on the day.
Nonetheless, a New Zealander still took a place on the podium
at the Golden Shears World shearing and woolhandling
championships, in Ireland, on Sunday. Rowland Smith, of
Hastings, won the glamour event - the individual machine
shearing title.
Hopes were high for the New Zealand blade shearers Tony
Dobbs, of Fairlie, and Brian Thomson, of West Melton.
Both put up promising performances in the lead up to the
finals and opening rounds of the championships .
Dobbs only returned to the competition circuit last October
after an 18-year break.
On the day, Dobbs and Thomson were third and fourth
respectively in the individual blade shearing final and were
second in the team final.
The six world champions were spread across five nations,
which was unprecedented for the competition.
South Africa retained both the individual and teams titles in
blade shearing, Scotland won the machine shearing teams
England won its first world title in the individual
woolhandling, while Wales broke New Zealand's dominance in
the teams event.
The competitions drew thousands of spectators and

WRI established its China office in 2007. We work with leaders in business, government, and civil society to address climate change, transport, and water risk issues. Learn more about our work in China. Visit the WRI China website.
Cities already house half of the world's population and are expected to add an additional 75 million people each year. The rapid growth of cities, especially in the developing world, presents enormous opportunities and challenges to ensure that growth is equitable and sustainable.
The upcoming World Urban Forum (WUF7), organized by UN-HABITAT, will address the ways cities can become more sustainable and livable for all residents.
As China pursues shale gas exploration and development, it could draw some lessons—both positive and negative—from the experience in the United States. Indeed, it is in both countries' interest that their businesses and governments collaborate to ensure that when and where shale gas is developed, it is done responsibly.
In order to pursue shale gas development responsibly, three issues are emerging as potential hotspots for U.S.-China collaboration—environmentally smart development, energy security, and economy.
WASHINGTON— China's pollution and emissions challenges have been making headlines, but China's leaders are taking action to respond. While some U.S. policy makers are using China's pollution as an excuse for U.S. inaction, there are also emerging signals that China can make progress on its pollution challenges.
What is the reality? Is China heading in a new direction?

China Adopts Policy to Promote Demonstration of Carbon Capture and Storage
China's main policy-making body, the National Development Reform Commission (NDRC), adopted a groundbreaking policy this year to limit CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants. The policy—which promotes the demonstration of carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization—is the first-of-its-kind in any country, and reflects WRI's Guidelines for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), developed in partnership with Tsinghua University, China.
The Challenge
World energy use is estimated to increase by 56 percent between 2010 and 2040, with half of the increase attributed to China and India alone. In addition, 76 percent of new coal-fired power plants will be located in these two countries. Shifting to a much-needed, low-carbon economy requires that these nations either rely on more efficient and renewable sources of energy or find ways to manage the greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. Our Guidelines for CCS in China were issued at a time when CCS was not a high priority within the Chinese administration. Yet we remained determined to continue actively engaging with experts and bringing our expertise to the table.
WRI's Role
In collaboration with Tsinghua University, WRI began an early stakeholder effort to discuss guidelines for CCS in China. We convened leaders from China's state-owned enterprises with NDRC officials and academics to develop the guidelines. This was perhaps the first time coal, oil, and electricity sectors ever met to discuss whether and how CCS would proceed in China. The group also traveled together on CCS study tours in 2009 and 2010, maintaining engagement with the Chinese government during these trips. This process contributed significantly toward the NDRC adopting a policy to promote demonstration of CCS and incorporating many aspects of the Tsinghua-WRI Guidelines.
Our Impact
NDRC's adoption of the policy has created strong support for CCS projects within China. China has 11 large-scale, integrated CCS projects in the planning stages. On top of this, four large-scale, integrated pilots are already operating or in the construction stages. This type of leadership can not only inform other CCS practices and standards throughout the world, it can boost collaboration—particularly with the United States.
Borrowing major themes from our guidelines, the policy also promotes environmental standards and includes public engagement. It lays the groundwork for testing a variety of different technologies and, more importantly, phases out the use of naturally occurring CO2. The NDRC and other relevant ministries have since focused on the incorporation and implementation of the policy—a critical next step in scaling up this outcome.
Confronted with a cooling economy and global headlines declaring an "Airpocalypse", China faces challenges on multiple fronts. While many people are quick to point out the hurdles, the reality is that its leaders are moving ahead with significant policy measures and reforms. If successful, these actions will not only help drive China's economic development, they will address another mounting threat: climate change.
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms the risks of climate change and humans' central role in it. China is no less vulnerable. One-third of its coastline is highly vulnerable to rising seas that will probably lead to the relocation of coastal communities. China's agricultural production - including rice, wheat and corn - could fall dramatically within a few decades due to shifts in precipitation and soil quality. Health impacts, including malaria and other infectious diseases, are also expected to mount as global temperatures rise.
As China moves to tackle issues related to the economy, pollution and urbanisation, each carries opportunities to shift the country's emissions trajectory and make progress on climate change.
Coal is emerging as a major topic of conversation at the United Nations climate-change negotiations currently taking place in Warsaw – and rightly so. Indeed, it is a discussion that the world needs to have.
The latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conclude that we are quickly using up our carbon "budget" – the amount of carbon that we can afford to emit while still having a good chance of limiting global warming to 2º Celsius. According to the IPCC, keeping the global temperature increase from pre-industrial levels below this threshold – the recognized tipping point beyond which climate change is likely to get seriously out of control – requires that the world emit only about 1,000 gigatonnes of carbon (GtC). More than half of this amount was already emitted by 2011. Unless we shift away from carbon-intensive behavior, the remaining budget will run out in roughly three decades.
