On our inRiver PIM platform, the PXM (Product Experience Management) concept ties into one of the best illustrative images I have seen on marketing technologies. The image, made by Gartner, shows all emerging marketing technologies in the form of a subway map. In order to get this whole ecosystem of marketing technologies to work, they need one repository for marketing content and one story. This is where the inRiver PXM concept fits in – working as the center of all marketing technologies as a Dynamic Marketing Hub.
What I have been told over the years is that our customers find it hard to choose a platform that will help them benefit from all these emerging marketing technologies, and knowing that the choice will not lock them up in a rigid platform with nowhere to go after the initial implementation. With a complex ecosystem of new marketing technologies, it is important to be antifragile in your choices. The concept comes from the fantastic book "Antifragile" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, where he describes things that benefits from disorder and thrive on optionality (benefiting from more than one outcome), amongst other topics.
At one point, when I had the time and the pleasure of reading this book, I was inspired to do a thought experiment with time, since time is the ultimate judge of what will work and what will fail. This is always revealed by time. If you look at time in a simplistic way of past, present and the future, you can go back five years in time to look at some ideas and predictions that were made then and there. For example, take the economic analysts giving stock market advice, or the technology experts giving predictions on the world domination of some technology or company. When you heard about these predictions then and there, they most likely made sense. But with the time perspective on your side, you see a whole other story being revealed. Almost all of these predictions are precisely what they are: predictions. Some were lucky and got it right, but almost all of them failed.
Adapting to changes in the market instead of trying to foresee all eventualities becomes a necessity when dealing with change. If you can adapt in real time, rather than trying to react to changes after they have happened, you have a far more powerful set of options on how to move ahead with your marketing strategies.
What we are trying to achieve, is to make your organization's investment in a marketing platform antifragile by using inRiver's agile Marketing Model. This will enable you to easily adapt to the changes in the market, since you can adapt and change the Marketing Model easily to suit new requirements and new ways of telling the story about your products.
An important point is also that it also gives you the possibility to capitalize on the available options in the market at a low cost. If you have no options left, and must make major changes to keep up with the demands in the market, everything becomes quickly significantly more expensive.
So when you scope and plan your journey to tell the story of your products, make sure you are on a platform that will support you in this mindset:
Think big, start small, scale fast.

text: Ok, my TV is the VIZIO 32" Class LCD 720p 60Hz HDTV, E321VL Today I bought a Sanus-Classic Series 1.25'' Low-Profile Wall Mount for 32'' - 63'' Flat-Panel TVs-Black-MLL10-B1 Already having some buyers remorse... but I might stick with the mount depending on this thread. The question is, will I be able to fit my cable/HDMI cords behind the TV with this mount, given the limited space between the wall and the TV? I've never had a LCD TV or a Wall Mount before. One way I figure of combating the lack of space would be to plug the cords in before I hang the TV up. Still, I would rather just be able to reach in there and plug in the cords! I saw much better deals on Walmart, and called to cancel... but it seems that Best Buy refuses to cancel online orders an hour after purchase, despite the fact that I called only three hours later! So what do you think, will I be able to use this mount effectively, or should I return it? Thanks.

This is not news to a lot of people, but the combined effects of
expensive gas, a weak economy, and increased environmental awareness
have started to put the squeeze on suburbs.
This doesn't mean that everyone is going to move into big cities, but
it does mean that future developments will look more like towns than
bizarre orchards of five bedroom ranches.
Much of the country developed backwards. Cities arose in isolation and
then people started flowing out to the burbs recently. Much of the
east coast, though, developed more slowly with many towns, a few of
which later swelled into major metropoli. The other towns remained and
were affected by suburbanization, but retained some character and
With luck, the current forces will reshape population distributions
into something more sustainable.

The theme tonight of "no waste" is one I try to practice at home, but sadly, no one has gifted me with half an organic pig.
Things that surprised me:
an Asian cook who didn't really seem to know what to do with whole areas of the pig. Where was the pig's feet dim sum? the twice cooked pork belly?
front of the house people that don't set tables properly! We have at least two couples that have a totally clueless front of the house people. "Welcome to the Madness..." what a welcoming line!
a chef using a plastic salt grinder in the kitchen? Get a bag of salt, and some pepper while you are at it! My goodness.
marketing, where is the marketing?
Very impressed that Helen, who was very queazy about the pig to start, overcame her trepidation and excelled.
Nice to see Michele and Russell reasserting their strengths.
I thought this was a very well-conceived challenge. Half a pig allowed each chef to serve their own style of food, while having a measurable outcome. We still have too many couples to really know how they are marketing, learning from each week's mistakes and working to improve their customer service. We should learn about them all some more during the Challenge next week.

Wouldn't it be nice to knit a Christmas stocking for each child in the family? One that can be personalized for their favorite colors, names and more. Hand knit Christmas stockings can easily become a Christmas tradition. One you can't buy in a store. They can be as simple or as complicated as you wish. The patterns can be plain, stripes or even complex patterns reminiscent of Fair Isle knitting. Before last year, I never tackled Christmas stockings. Then a friend suggested I create some. And before I knew it I had three different versions! What are three reasons you should... (Read More ...)
New to knitting socks? This knit Christmas stocking patterns use larger needles with heavier weight yarn than regular socks, so its easier to manage multiple needles. It's a great way to learn to knit socks. If you think the color work is daunting, don't! You can easily knit this all in one color, or knit stripes without the motifs. And the motifs are in color charts, which are easy to follow. Customizing them is easy if you want to move the motifs to a different stripe, or use only certain ones. Hand knit Christmas stockings make a treasured keepsake you — or someone... (Read More ...)

February 17-February 19, 2016
Tab.Lab Agenda
Conference Registration
Hotel Reservations
Meeting Materials
Convening SummaryWelcome to the information site for TAB•Lab: Launching Affordable Baccalaureates. The convening will be held at the Westin Austin at the Domain (11301 Domain Drive) on February 17-19, 2016. An "implementation team" of three leaders from your institution are invited to attend. We suggest your team include your chancellor or president; your chief academic/instructional officer; and one other leader, such as an innovation director or instructional designer. Participating institutions currently authorized to offer baccalaureates, and institutions partnering with such institutions, will be invited to submit proposals for seed funding provided by philanthropic partners to assist in developing affordable baccalaureate degrees.
We will begin the convening at noon on February 17 with a welcome luncheon. During the luncheon, Sally Johnstone of Western Governor's University (WGU) will present an overview of options for supporting affordable baccalaureates. The overview will be followed by breakout sessions, including a special session for chancellors and presidents to discuss and share ideas. While we believe institutions will get the greatest return if they have a complete team attending the full convening, chancellors and presidents will be particularly interested in the sessions on February 17 from noon to 5:00 p.m. On the following two days, TAB•Lab will resume at 8:00 a.m., with concurrent sessions focused on developing and implementing high-quality, affordable four-year degree programs. TAB•Lab will conclude at 1:00 p.m. on February 19. We will update the attached preliminary agenda on the registration website when it is finalized.
The TAB•Lab convening is an opportunity for leaders of Texas public and independent institutions of higher education to learn directly from institutions that already have built, or are in the process of building, the foundation to launch affordable baccalaureates. Sessions will be led by experts from a wide range of national organizations and institutions, including the American Council on Education, the Council for Adult and Experiential Education, HCM Strategists, WGU, the University System of Georgia, the Competency-Based Education Network, Brandman University, College for America, and the New America Foundation. With support from the College for All Texans Foundation, the Coordinating Board, Western Governors University Texas, and the new Institute for Competency-Based Education at Texas A&M University-Commerce will co-convene TAB•Lab.
A registration fee of $150 for your three-member team will help defray the cost of the meeting.
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Westin Austin at the Domain (11301 Domain Drive, Austin) with a special nightly rate of $159 for single or double occupancy.
Please direct questions to Assistant Deputy Commissioner Mary E. Smith at 512-427-6213 or email@example.com.
Thank you for your service to Texas. I look forward to our continued collaboration and hope to see you in February.

There is nothing better than having homemade ornaments hanging on our Christmas trees and what's more fitting than returning conifer cones back to the tree!
Conifer cones are anywhere where there are conifer trees. Pine, firs, and spruce trees all produce cones that can be used for holiday decorations. Not only can you make amazing crafts using conifer cones, the cost factor is very low!
Going out to a forest to collect cones can be a fun adventure when you take your children and/or grandchildren. Spending time in the fresh air with family is important and when you're out there collecting cones to use for crafts it makes it that much more fun.
Be sure to collect only the best looking conifer cones because some of them do get rather beat up. When my three year old grandson finds cones he is all excited that we're going to make crafts. Of course many of his finds I have to silently toss back into the woods. Nevertheless, he is out there having a fantastic time.
So, our most recent project was to make ornaments for our tree. I uncovered some beads I had, got the glue gun and away I went. On every scale I glued on a bead. The beads I used were rather small so it was a bit tricky, but it was fun. The glue gun left behind those thin 'glue threads' but I decided to leave them on as added effect. If you make one and don't want the 'glue threads' then they are easily cut off with very small scissors.
So now that you have this simple idea to make a gorgeous ornament wouldn't it be great to share some knowledge about conifer cones with your children?
Conifer Cones
What exactly is a conifer cone anyways? It is not a fruit and it is not a seed. What most of us call a "pine cone" is simply a cluster of highly modified woody scales tightly packed together to protect the developing conifer seeds inside. Conifers are the cone bearing trees; and while most everyone knows that pine trees and spruces belong to this group, the conifers are represented by over 550 species! These also include firs, hemlocks, cedars, cypresses, and yews. The term conifer is often used as a synonym for evergreen, and that really isn't correct. Some conifers are not evergreens such as the Larch, and many evergreens are not conifers such as the Rhododendron and Holly.
So there you have it – knowledge about conifer cones and a simple yet beautiful craft to help adorn your Christmas tree!

Obama's Wind-Energy Lobby Gets Blown Away
August 21, 2015
On August 11th, a federal judge in California ruled in favor of protecting the bald eagle, a symbol of American freedom. This ruling represents a setback for the wind industry and for President Obama's Clean Power Plan. This decision, however, also points to the administration's close relationship with the wind industry and the danger to wildlife as a result of increased wind-energy facilities.
The judge determined that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act when it issued 30 year permits to wind-energy companies without first conducting an environmental-impact assessment.
As an industry that promotes itself as environmentally friendly, wind energy companies face a PR predicament because its turbines kill more than a half a million birds each year.
The Clean Power Plan is relying on wind energy more than any other form of renewable energy. The rationale used by clean energy promoters is the following:
- Future climate change is more important than preserving wildlife.
- To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, wind-generating capacity will have to increase significantly (but would also increase the killing of birds).
These advocates, of course, don't consider that rising emissions in emerging economies will undo whatever gains are achieved in the U.S.
Meanwhile the killing of birds continues. A 2008 study of a northern California wind facility found that it kills approximately 60 eagles and 2500 other raptors each year.

Hanna Tetteh has conceded the shady dealings at the Passport Office and the hassle Ghanaians go through to get a passport.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Ms Hannah Tetteh has stated that, the ministry is working together with the national security to wage a relentless war against 'goro' boys who parade themselves as 'passport contractors' on the premises of the office.
In line with that, the ministry and the national security will conduct random swoops on the premises.
The premises of the Passport Office have been inundated by passport applicants who, in their desperation for passports, contract people who seemingly work in league with some officials of the office to facilitate the acquisition of the passports.
Hannah Tetteh said, it is putting measures in place to clean the image of the office by putting a stop to the unnecessary stampede that often accompanied the demand for passports.
"So like I've been telling you, if you give your money to some crook (you know he is a crook) to get you a passport, don't cry foul," she added.
She said the office was working hard to clear the huge backlog of passports stating that it will take a month to clear the backlog at the passport office. She said so far a significant number of the passports had been cleared.
The Passport Office has been faced with the challenge of having to print a substantial number of passport booklets to meet demands due to a breakdown of machines.
That situation causes stampede at the precincts of the office because applicants who are given dates to come for their passports get there disappointed, as they are told to return on another date because passports could not get printed.
Explaining the difficulty the office was facing, she said it had to rely on just two machines to print passport booklets because the others had broken down. But she was quick to add that more machines were being installed to speed up the process.
She, however, noted that, the ministry have overhauled the process for issuing Diplomatic Passports.

Original paper
At the front of expanding ranges: Shifting community structures at amphisteginid species range margins in the Mediterranean Sea
Mouanga, Gloria H.; Langer, Martin R.
Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen Band 271 Heft 2 (2014), p. 141 - 150
published: Feb 1, 2014
ArtNo. ESP155027102002, Price: 29.00 €
Climate warming and the poleward widening of the tropical belt have induced range shifts in a variety of marine and terrestrial organisms. Among the key taxa that are rapidly expanding their latitudinal range are symbiont-bearing foraminifera of the genus Amphistegina. Analyses of foraminiferal faunas from new sites in the western Ionian Sea (Ithaka and Lefkada Islands) show that amphisteginid foraminifera continue to expand their biogeographic range, rapidly outcompete all native species and represent the most abundant taxon at almost every site colonized. The introduction and range expansion of Amphistegina puts significant pressure on local species, affects foraminiferal diversity and decreases species richness of associated biotas. Native species richness is reduced at all sites invaded by amphisteginids and correlates with the degree of infestation. Amphisteginids invasions specifically impact those species that share a similar microhabitat and include other larger symbiont-bearing foraminifera and numerous trochospiral species. The impact of Amphistegina on native biotas gradually increases from the range expansion front towards those sites where invasions commenced decades ago. High abundances may result in prolific monocultures of Amphistegina that modify the composition of sedimentary substrates and ultimately trigger changes in ecosystem functioning. Assemblage structures and patterns observed at the expansion front in recent examples resemble amphisteginid invasions recorded in Miocene foraminiferal communities from the Vienna Basin and Poland, these latter being indicative of shifts in biogeographic ranges at that time. The assemblages thus preserve environmental information that is useful in paleoecologic and paleobiogeographic interpretations to evaluate the extent and magnitude of shifts along the front of expanding species ranges.

Thanks Mir!
I'm due January 9/10. I guess it's always a range. Since I have PCOS there are the issues with ovulation or luteal phase or whatever
I'm not sure I can control these emotions right now, so I just hope to make it through this time.....I am also very tired. Took a "lay down" which is not exactly a true nap, for about 2 hours today. After I get the kids from school I just struggle with being "on"....sigh....
I keep hoping that I can handle all of it, but I think with what I'm dealing with right now with my 3 year old I'm a bit overwhelmed

As if ACCESS or VBA does know about EXCEL.
But I don't know where to go from here to add a component or whatever is needed for ACCESS to know about EXCEL.
Also, the Analyze with EXCEL does work OK.
I'm working on a server and do not have any installation CD's.
Any help appreciated.

The visitor centre Sagnagardur, provides an easy to understand and evocatively presented exhibition of the battle to restore the soil and vegetation of Iceland. It is a globally unique story. Visitors seeing the exhibition will gain a better appreciation of the land as they travel around Iceland.
The effects of volcanic eruptions, huge floods ans strong winds, along with public scepticism about trying to reduce the effects of the forces of nature, set the scene for the difficult but necessary task of stabilising the land and making it productive. The work of the pioneers in land reclamation is higlighted to give the story a really human dimension. The century of soil conservation and land reclamation efforts in Iceland is an inspiring story of technical ingenuity, scientific endeavour, and human fortitude. Now, the international reputation of Icelandic work on soil conservation is well established. Visitors can view the effects of this work in the exhibition and in the countryside surrounding the centre.

NEW YORK, April 17 (UPI) -- The New York Jets apparently avoided paying a salary cap-busting clause to Vinny Testaverde by
reaching agreement on a new deal with the veteran quarterback.
The New York Daily News is reporting that Testaverde, who had a year left on his contract, reached agreement with the Jets on a
new five-year contract and will earn about $4.5 million in 2002.
"I feel comfortable that we've agreed on almost all the terms in the contract," Testaverde's agent, Michael Azzarelli, told the
Daily News. "It's just a matter of doing some paperwork."
By reaching a new deal, the Jets avoided paying a $9.5 million guarantee to Testaverde that was due by June 4.
The 38-year-old Testaverde is recovering from surgery to remove a benign tumor from his right foot and will not partipate in minicamp later this month. He is expected to be ready by late
May or early June.
Testaverde had problems adjusting to the West Coast offense installed by offensive coordinator Paul Hackett last season, throwing 15 touchdowns with 14 interceptions, but still led the Jets to a 10-6 record and an AFC wild card berth.
With quarterback Chad Pennington, a first-round pick in 2000, waiting in the wings, Testaverde may not be the starter beyond the 2002 season.

Supreme Court refuses to intervene in Air India stir
MUMBAI: Air India was forced to cancel nearly 30 international flights on Friday after 400 pilots refused to return to work and the Supreme Court declined to intervene saying that it is an internal matter. Striking pilots continued to defy the management and the government for the fourth straight day on Friday, prompting concerns that the agitation will drive up airfares and provoke an outcry from a public weary of troubles in the country's various airlines.
India's aviation regulator, the Director General of Civil Aviation, (DGCA), warned airlines not to take advantage of the situation and increase fares beyond the highest price band. The warning came after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh that airfares should not increase. "The Cabinet has approved a huge amount in the turnover plan to save Air India, but Air India family (union) should understand and co-operate," agencies quoted the minister as saying. The government agreed to provide 30,000 crore to Air India as equity recently to revive it from a debt squeeze caused by reckless borrowing.
"We have sent out advisory to the airlines that there should not be any inordinate rise in the fares. We are keeping a watch on fare movement," EK Bharat Bhushan, the director general of civil aviation told ET.
The apex court on Friday refused to entertain a contempt of court petition filed by the Air India management against pilots for not heeding a Delhi High Court order asking them to resume work. The Supreme Court told Air India and the civil aviation ministry to begin talks with the pilots and resolve the 'internal' matter.

Saturday's Ada County Democratic Presidential Caucus brought many local politicians out. With the May 15 primary only weeks away, and most eyes on the November general election, dozens of incumbents and challengers said the event at Boise State's Morrison Center was a great way to promote their campaigns to area Democrats.
Dan DeLuca is one of the many "behind the scenes" olitical operatives working the caucus - he's the campaign manager for Steve Berch, running in District 15. DeLuca may be younger than most campaign managers. A student at Boise State, last year, he worked for the Student Programs Board for the university, an organization in charge of the concerts on campus.
"[Music and politics] are two things I've always loved, and I spent two years as a poli-sci major," he said.
DeLuca is currently a music major, but met Berch when he was working for the Legislature. He had more than one legislator ask him to work for them, but he chose Berch because winning a Democratic campaign in District 15 was more of a challenge.
"But it's still winnable," DeLuca said as he was running back and forth between Berch's two booths at the caucus. The two booths are because the district is split between Congressional District 1 and Congressional District 2.
Berch ran four years ago, but in Ada County's old District 14. Newly crafted redistricting has set new boundaries and Berch couldn't be happier.
"I have lived in West Boise for 31 years, and District 15 is now a pure West Boise district," said Berch.

|Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and his Fish Fight
The meeting saw a panel come together to give their reactions to the report findings, including Chris Rapley (Professor of Climate Science, University College London), Ralph Lee (Head of Factual, Channel 4), Bill Lyons (Executive Editor, Countryfile, BBC), Leo Hickman (Chief Advisor, Climate Change, WWF-UK and formerly at The Guardian), and Caroline Haydon (author of the report).
|Chris Rapley
|Audiences prefer soaps to documentaries.
In summary, the meeting showed that all were in general agreement that environmental issues and climate change were important subjects to communicate to the public, but much thinking is needed regarding the best way forward to achieve these aims. It seems that in order to engage the general public the issues need to be made local so that they feel that they are directly affected at that we are facing these issues now and not in 10 years time. I feel, given the debate that it should be seen as a joint responsibility between scientists and broadcasters to solve this problem. As a scientist I can provide data and other factual information, I can perhaps also provide a narrative, but links with broadcasters are key if the information is ever going to get directly into millions of people's homes. I do believe that if we engage together then it is possible to find a mechanism to inspire ordinary people to act on difficult, intangible and sometimes unpopular issues such as climate change.

The Golden Compass 5-Minute Preview
Another of the many things I missed by not going to Comic-Con this year was a 5-minute preview screening of The Golden Compass. Thankfully, the clip is now online, and I'm so glad. There are flying witches, duty-bound polar bears, sassy daemons and Nicole Kidman acting more icy-cold than you've ever seen her. I've rarely been this excited to see something that isn't coming out for another four months or so (December 7, to be precise), but if you watch the preview you'll see what I mean, so

Rocking the riverfront
Cambodian Space Project did their bit to keep the punters awake in preparation for the World Cup final. And they did a darn good job of it as well. La Croisette was the venue and the six-piece line-up ran through their repertoire of Khmer classics, alongwith a couple of self-penned Srey Thy songs that she performed with just a guitar accompaniment. They always give a very good account of themselves when I've been able to catch them, though in a venue like La Croisette I would like the knob turned up on Srey Thy's mic or else her lovely voice can be swamped by the mass of instruments. They really are worth tracking down and getting along to one of their gigs, especially as they may well be going to Europe in the near future for an extended visit. And you are in luck if you can get to the new Meta House venue this coming Friday 16th, when the band will perform from 7pm onwards. Don't miss it.

NORTH SHORE, OAHU, Hawaii – On the Hawaiian Island of Oahu lies the most notorious seven-mile stretch of surf on earth, the world famous North Shore. It is in this mythological place, home to the world's biggest waves, that legends are made and lives are put on the line. From Nov. 12 through Dec. 20, the world's top men and women surfers will chase professional world titles, a $655,000 purse and the glory of the greatest achievement in surfing, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing title.
Already sporting a history and tradition unparalleled in the world of professional surfing, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is ratcheting the drama to unprecedented levels in 2004. A trio of anniversary celebrations, forecasts calling for El Nino-driven big waves, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, record exposure from Hollywood filmmakers, elite back-to-back women's events and momentous changes in sponsorship cap what portends to be an epic North Shore winter. And, for the first time in Vans Triple Crown of surfing history, millions of surf enthusiasts across the globe will be able to catch extensive live coverage from all three events at www.triplecrownofsurfing.com.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Series begins with the $125,000 six-star, World Qualifying Series (WQS)-rated Vans Hawaiian Pro, Nov. 12 to 24 at Haleiwa's Ali'i Beach, which runs concurrently with the first women's event: the $62,500 World Championship Tour (WCT)-rated Roxy Pro. The break at Haleiwa features a fast ride that peels off over coral reef, allowing a full spectrum of maneuvers.
Stop number two is at Sunset Beach (Nov. 26 — Dec. 7) for the $125,000 O'Neill World Cup of Surfing, also a six-star WQS. In contrast to Haleiwa, the break at Sunset Beach is almost a half-mile out to sea and in very deep waters. Subsequently, the waves can be up to 20 feet thick and up to four stories high.
The finale of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is at the infamous Banzai Pipeline for the $260,000 Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters (Dec. 8 — 20), a World Championship Tour (WCT) rated event. Pipeline rears up 50 feet from shore and showcases waves of up to five stories high that march shoreward before exploding upon a barely submerged coral reef. Hitting with speed and power, these swells launch abruptly, 'jacking up' from just a few feet in height to 15 or 20 feet in a matter of seconds. The effect of this is a hollow, barreling wave that has made the name "Banzai Pipeline" famous around the world.
Already considered the sport's Mecca with athletes, industry, spectators and media attending from across the globe, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing funnels nearly $10 million annually into the Oahu economy placing it in the same league with mainstream sports like football and golf. Interest and attendance is expected to increase again this year, fueled in large part by recent motion pictures "Riding Giants, "The Ride and "The Big Bounce, all filmed on the North Shore. Television series like "North Shore, "Lost, "Hawaii and "Rocky Point are adding to the heightened awareness.
With Rip Curl stepping up their sponsorship and the addition of O'Neill, the heritage and tradition of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is poised to grow to new and unprecedented levels. The O'Neill World Cup of Surfing is the season-ending WQS event, determining which surfers advance to the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) elite World Championship Tour for a shot at the world title in 2005. The Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters will be the climax of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and the 2004 ASP World Tour —the sport's two most coveted titles.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing title for women showcases the world's top pro female surfers in their own back-to-back WCT events that run concurrently with the men's Series. The Roxy Pro at Haleiwa is the penultimate event on the 2004 ASP World Tour while the final WCT event for 2004, the $62,500 Billabong Pro is held at MMaui's Honolua Bay (Dec. 8-20). Collectively these events determine the women's ASP World Champion, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing champion, as well as the WCT lineups for the 2005 circuit.
With El Nino conditions leading to expectations of a bumper crop of waves this year, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is also celebrating a triple header of anniversaries: the 30th anniversary of the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing, 20th anniversary of the Vans Hawaiian Pro (Nov. 12-24 at Haleiwa) and the 10th anniversary of the women's Roxy Pro (Nov. 12-24 at Haleiwa). The Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters remains the world's longest running pro event at 34 years.
"After three decades of incredible surfing it only gets better, said Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Executive Director Randy Rarick. "This year with the world title a foregone conclusion, the title race for the Vans Triple Crown will take on even more significance. Watch for some of the most intense competition ever seen on the North Shore.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is made possible through the support of a partnership of the world's leading brands and media companies including: Ford Trucks, G-Shock, O'Neill, Rip Curl, Surfing Magazine, Oahu's Turtle Bay Resort, The Honolulu Advertiser and Fox Sports Net.

TODAY'S AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT IS FOCUSED ON…JENNA ZARK! Actor, Lyricist, playwright, Jenna is a one stop shop artist. I see an interesting career ahead for this young author! Without further ado, here's…. JENNA!
Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I would describe myself as a storyteller, using both play writing and prose. I started my career as an actor and then became a lyricist and playwright, as well as a staff writer for Scholastic Choices magazine where I wrote for middle school and junior high students on a variety of topics.
My play A Body of Water was published by Dramatists Play Service and produced at theaters around the country after its debut at Circle Repertory in New York. After writing plays, musicals, and non-fiction prose, I decided to go in a new direction and write a fiction book for young adults, which became The Beat on Ruby's Street. My playwriting work also continues. Recent plays include a production of If You Don't Weaken at Freshwater Theatre in Minneapolis, about a young woman trying to observe a year-long Jewish ritual of mourning for my grandfather. Other plays have been produced in the Twin Cities, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and elsewhere.
I am a two-time winner of the McKnight Advancement Artists Fellowship and a recipient of several fellowships from the Minnesota State Arts Board. I'm also a core alumni member of The Playwrights Center and a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
- How did you get started on your writing journey?
I was acting when I just got out of college, but the plays I was auditioning for in New York always had such boring female characters. I started thinking about writing characters that I would really want to play.
- Are there any poets or writers who influence you? How so?
This book was heavily influenced by the Beat Generation writers and poets like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and the female poets who did not get much attention in the 1950s but who were just as talented, including Elise Cowen, Diane Di Prima, Hettie Jones, Denise Levertov and Anne Walkdman. They influenced my decision to create a young girl whose abiding dream was to become a poet.
Let's talk about your novel! What is it about?
It is 1958, a time of tumultuous change, artistic exploration, and the beginning of a political and social movement by what is now known as the Beat Generation. Ruby Tabeata is on her way to a reading by the poet Jack Kerouac when she is nabbed by a store-owner for stealing and taken to the police station. Only a few weeks shy of her twelfth birthday, Ruby dreams of meeting the famous poets of her time while writing her own poetry, which she collects in a notebook.
At the station, Ruby is handed over to Mrs. Levitt, a social worker who asks Ruby to find her mother. Instead, Ruby escapes, but is later found and brought to her mother's studio. Mrs. Levitt is shocked by what she finds there, and vows to pay a home visit to Ruby's family, who are artists and don't conform to conventional standards. Meanwhile Ruby goes to a party and meets an intriguing poet who invites her to a reading that happens to be on the same day as her birthday.
A few days later, Mrs. Levitt visits Ruby's apartment. Disgusted by what she calls an environment of "squalor," Mrs. Levitt makes further inquiries and finds out that Ruby's mother and father are not legally married. After an argument with Ruby's mother, Mrs. Levitt forces Ruby to leave her family and enter a children's home. Ruby is distraught and worried that she will never see her family again.
In partnership with a new friend at the children's home, Ruby begins a hunger strike to protest the way she has been treated. Though the strike results in Ruby being allowed to go home, she soon discovers that her family has fallen apart during her absence. As her birthday approaches, Ruby decides the only way to celebrate it is by sneaking off to the poetry reading she was invited to before she left home. Once there, she discovers the Beats know what she's going through—and that art is the one thing that has the power to help her live through times that would otherwise be unbearable.
- How is the title significant?
Ruby lives in the heart of Greenwich Village, surrounded by Beat Generation artists and culture. Her journey is rocky, but she survives because she has the courage to move to her own "Beat" – an unconventional, rebellious beat that ultimately takes her where she wants to go.
- Where did inspiration for this come from?
I grew up in a middle-class family in a New Jersey suburb close to Manhattan – but light years away from NYC in a hundred thousand ways. When my older sister brought me to Greenwich Village to see a play I knew instantly I was "home" – and spent the rest of my tween and teen years trying to get there.
Years later I moved to Brooklyn but worked and played in the Village. I became a playwright and then, when I got married and moved to the Midwest, started missing the city and started thinking about writing a book set in the Village. I used a lot of my memories and early life to write it—at the same time creating a work of fiction that also weaves pieces of other people's lives all through the story as well.
Tell us a little bit about the characters? What are they like and how did you come up with them?
Most of the characters in the book are unconventional and live unconventional lives. Ruby is very strong-willed, with a dark sense of humor and a rebellious spirit. Her best friend Sophie wants to be an actress and comedienne, as her mother works as a comedy sketch artist. Their friend Gordy loves math and is small and slight, and none of the kids go to a real school. When the neighborhood social worker threatens to make them go to school, the girls worry about Gordy being picked on. Ruby's older brother Ray is a saxophone musician and she admires him, but they also fight, in a brother-sister way.
The adults include Ruby's parents, who love her dearly but are both inattentive artists. The other characters that populate Ruby's world are artists as well, except for the social worker, police and children's home staff. Ruby meets a very bullying girl at the children's home, as well as a quiet girl, but her friendship blossoms with Manuela, whose family arrived some months back from Mexico. It is Manuela who convinces Ruby to go on a hunger strike with her and defy the forces that have marshalled against them.
- Who do you think would like your story and what kind of readership are you aiming for?
I think the story will resonate with middle graders, aged 11 – 12, and from what I'm told, with many adults as well.
What is the message you are trying to get across in your book?
While life can often be painful, the power of art can heal us even on the worst days of our lives.
- What is your writing process like?
It's really very haphazard, so I don't know if anyone would want to do what I do. I write all kinds of notes to myself during the day, and write for long patches of time whenever I can. I try not to start writing until the characters are almost fully formed in my head and the story haunts me, so that no matter what I do, I can't let go of it.
- How do you go about editing your story?
I read it and re-read it as I am writing, and edit almost constantly as I go.
- Where did you find your cover artist and what was the process like?
Before I came to Dragon Moon, I was published by Booktrope Publishing, and they asked Gwen Gades (who heads up Dragon Moon) to create the cover. I filled out a form about what was most important to my story, and what I was trying to get across. I also described the characters. Gwen created the cover using my notes and thoughts; our team reviewed her ideas and settled on the present one.
I submitted The Beat on Ruby's Street to Booktrope at the invitation of the middle school editor, who knew my work as a columnist. Luckily for me, the company chose to publish my book. When Booktrope closed, Gwen asked if I wanted to submit it to Dragon Moon Press, and I did! I must add I am very glad I did.
- What was your self-publishing experience like?
I first self published the book about a year and a half before submitting it to Booktrope. I found it a very difficult experience because I didn't know how to design a book or cover. I had to hire a designer and cover artist and an illustrator, and spent far more than I wanted to spend.
What are the pros and cons of self-publishing?
I think it's great to self publish if you want complete control, but you can end up spending a lot of money that you may not have. In addition, having help from a publisher's marketing team can make all the difference in getting your name and the book into the public eye.
- What were the surprises? Good or bad? If so, what were they?
The surprises were that I didn't know how much I didn't know. I did like having complete control, but I also really like being part of a publishing house now.
- How do you go about promoting your book as a self-published author?
I didn't have the tools to go it alone, so was happy to find Booktrope and now Dragon Moon, who have marketing teams that have endless ideas and tips to help me.
- Is there something about the whole process you wish someone had told you before? Good or bad?
I wish I had known how much it costs to self publish. As mentioned, I am thrilled to be with Dragon Moon at this point.
- Do you have any advice for writers who want to self-publish?
Be persistent and see if you can work with people you know who will spell out their pricing up front. Try to put a team of people together who can help with sales and marketing before you start.
- What plans do you have for the future of your writing?
I will continue to write plays and am now thinking of working on book two in a series about Ruby's life and family, maybe try a three-book series? It's certainly something I'm thinking about!

The Beat on Ruby's Street
Jenna Zark
Chapter 1
At the Station
There's a guy in the neighborhood who wrote a book on toilet paper. They made it into a real book, but when he first wrote it you could unwind it all the way uptown and back again.
His name is Jack Kerouac and I was on my way to see him at The Scene, when I got waylaid by a blood orange. Now I'm in the police station, and my mother's going to eat me alive. She hates police and social workers, and I'm knee deep in both of them. When my mom was a kid a social worker came by because my grandmother had a car accident and wasn't like she used to be. So the kids ended up with foster parents and only saw their own parents on holidays. That's what social workers do.
The one sitting next to me seems like she's trying to be nice at least. She brought some ice for my arm, which got pretty twisted up after Tattoo Tina grabbed it.
I was trying to put the apples back on her fruit stand because they were falling. Where I live in Greenwich Village, they have all these bins on the sidewalk in front of stores. The bins are piled high with fruits and stuff, and yes, I was trying to move an apple out of the section next to the blood oranges. I love blood oranges—in fact, they're my favorite—but these were kind of wet and the apple was getting sticky. So I was trying to do a good deed.
Of course, Tattoo Tina would disagree. She's not much taller than me but her arms are a lot thicker, with ripply muscles like ropes and tattoos on top of them. As soon as I touched the oranges she reached her hand out and grabbed my wrist.
"Watcha doin', little robber girl?"
I wanted to say "Who you calling a little robber girl?" and leave it at that. But she was grabbing me so tightly I got mad and put my foot down as hard as I could—on hers.
I don't think it hurt too much because she wears these hard leather boots, but just the idea of me—or anyone—defying her makes Tina purple with rage. The next thing I know, she's screaming, "Okay! You want to play rough?" which sounded like "woof" because she was mad. That started me laughing and then like clockwork, she's twisting my arm.
So now, okay. I should have stopped at this point, gone limp or something until she calmed down. But I've seen Tina drive my best friend Sophie to tears, and once she pushed my friend Gordy so hard he almost lost a tooth. That happened when Sophie dropped her money in the store and got down on all fours to find it. Sophie can't do much of anything without making a joke, so she pretended to be a dog, sniffing around the floor for money. She had Gordy and me laughing so hard we nearly fell over, and Tina came out from behind the counter.
All of a sudden she was screaming bloody murder, which scared Sophie so bad she started to shake, and then Gordy got protective, standing in front of us and telling Tina to cool it. Instead, she shoved him and called him a dummy, which is pretty funny considering how many numbers Gordy can add in his head.
So even though it was crazy, I was not about to knuckle under. I swung my other arm to make all the apples and blood oranges roll off the shelves. By this time Tina was howling and I thought if I kicked her, she'd let go. Instead she twisted my arm even harder—so hard it took my breath away.
Then Tina yelled, "Thief!" The cop outside rushed in and everyone looked at me like I was a cockroach, which I felt like, pretty much. Now I'm in the Greenwich Village police station with a social worker, a slew of policemen tramping in and out with people they've arrested, a bum trying to sleep on a bench by the door, and worst of all, no hope of seeing Jack Kerouac.
That makes me sadder and madder than getting my arm twisted because I've been making up poems since I was four, even though I didn't start writing until I was seven. I want to read at The Scene one day but you have to be old enough. Plus, mostly famous like Kerouac who isn't a poet, really, but writes like one. And the only way you get to be good at writing is by listening to other people. I think you really need to hear them because poetry is about rhythm as much as anything.
I waited a month to see Kerouac and now I'm stuck in this station with questions coming from all directions. But if I tell the truth I'll open a big, smelly can of worms. I try to keep mum, which doesn't work very well because the questions keep coming. Then I get an idea. I can tell the truth in a kinda-sorta way, like salesmen do when they want you to buy something. "Name?"
"Ruby Tabeata." Our name used to be Tabita, but my dad changed it when I was small. For the Beat, which is a secret way of saying we're part of the Beat Generation. When it started, it was about people who were fed up and beat up by the System. That means the world, really—or most of the world.
The magazines call us "Beatniks," which makes us laugh because it sounds so stupid. What I think is, people are mostly asleep and when they come down here to see guys like Jack Kerouac, it's because they're hungry for something and Jack fills hem up. They want to hear about him driving around the country, meeting people, and seeing things they'll never see. They want to listen to poets like Allen Ginsberg who says the best minds of his generation are getting stomped on by the world.
Ginsberg found a place in the Village and started writing poetry, and pretty soon other cats came down and started writing, too. Now a lot of artists live in this neighborhood, which is below Fourteenth Street but not as far as Houston.
I guess you could say we're trying to break out of the old world and start a new one. But that's not something you can explain to a social worker or policeman. They think the old world is just fine.
The magazines also say Beats are supposed to be cool, but who knows what that means? I can only tell you what it's not. It's not cool to be angry or nasty. It's not cool to care about how you look. Because like my mother says, pretty fades, but cool is forever. And having a name like Tabeata says all that. But the phone book still says Tabita because it was never officially changed.
"Date of birth?" the policeman asks.
I toy with making something up but decide on the truth. "April 12, 1946."
"You're going to be twelve soon?"
It's my golden birthday, but I don't say much about that. Because I'm turning twelve on April 12 and it's supposed to be super-extra lucky. If I mention it now I'll jinx it for sure.
"Ninety-six Bleecker," I say, even though it's really 96 Perry.
They want to know my parents' names.
I call my father "Gary Daddy-o." It's kind of a joke we have, because all the Beat guys call each other "Daddy-o" when they're goofing on how Beats talk in the movies. I tell the policeman his name is Gerard, which is my dad's given name even though he never uses it. He's like one of those cats you see on bongos, except he doesn't play bongos, he plays bass.
My mother's name is Nell and we call her "Little Nell" because she's the tallest one in her family. I mostly call her Nell-mom, which she likes better than plain old Mom. Too old and too old-fashioned, she says. She has long, curly hair from Wisconsin and the rest of her is from Wisconsin, too. Little Nell does oils and etchings, all different kinds. Sometimes she does abstracts, which are all these shapes and colors. Other times it's ladies and they're not wearing very much. It's not sexy, she says. It's sophisticated.
Nell-mom paints at a studio near Christopher Street on Saturdays and she's there right now but I'm not going to tell anyone. The last thing in the world you want to do is interrupt Nell-mom when she's at the studio. She needs TIME TIME TIME to paint and if she doesn't get that, we hear about it. Over and over again.
I have an older brother, Ray, who is fourteen and never, ever gets in trouble. It's not that he doesn't do anything wrong. He just knows how to get away with it. Ray's one of those quiet guys who fades into the background unless he's playing saxophone. Then you want to stop what you're doing and listen; that's how he gets the girls coming around.
They say Ray's pretty dreamy, and I guess he is, with Nell-mom's curly brown hair and blue eyes. But you don't think that way when someone's your brother. I could tell you more about his leaving every piece of clothing he owns all over the house than what he looks like—and forget about food when he's around because he scarfs up everything in sight.
I'm guessing Ray's with Les and Bo today. They're studio musicians who play on record albums. They also give music lessons, and Ray is one of their students. He usually goes over there Saturdays to play with a bunch of people in what they call a jam. Gary Daddy-o could be there, too, unless he's juggling.
Gary Daddy-o goes out on the road a lot to play at clubs, either upstate or in Boston or Philadelphia. When he's here he puts a cup down in the subway and juggles oranges, and if Ray tags along and plays saxophone, they almost always draw a crowd. If enough people put money in Gary Daddy-o's cup, we get steak for dinner. Nell-mom has a job at an art store and gets free supplies, which she likes. But they both wish they could just play music and paint.
They're kinda-sorta married, in a kinda-sorta way. They've been together a long time so it seems like they're married, even though they don't have a marriage license. That's how a lot of people are down here. Gary Daddy-o says 1958 will be a good year because there was a big article about the Beats in Life magazine and a lot of tourists are coming. That means a lot of people will be in the subways, which means more money can find its way into his cup.
"Where are your parents today?" the social worker asks. Her name is Mrs. Levitt and she's got short blond hair and stockings. The cops call her "Levitt," like she's a man.
"I'm not sure about my dad. My mom is either painting or at work."
"Okay," she says. "Shall we go find her?"
"What if we can't?"
She sighs. "Then we'll have to come back here."
I get the feeling she doesn't want to do that, and I don't either. But finding Little Nell will be worse. I'm trying to decide what to do as we move toward the door. When I pass the bench I realize the guy sleeping on it is someone I know.
He sits under the arch most days at Washington Square Park with his legs curved underneath him like a pretzel. He went to India and says that's what yogis do, so that's what we call him.
He opens one eye and looks at me.
"Hey, kid. What are you in for?"
I tell him about the blood orange touching the apple and how it was all Tina's fault when he interrupts me.
"That's your problem right there," he says.
"What do you mean?"
"Mixin' apples and oranges. She had it all balanced, didn't she?"
"Who, Tina?"
"She had it right and you tipped the apple cart. Literally."
"Everything is there for a reason, right? If you mess with it like that, you're not following the flow of the universe. It's like trying to float upstream."
I try not to sigh, because once Yogi gets going there's no stopping him, and I'm not sure, even if I do explain, that he really wants to understand. "Okay, well, right," I say. "What are you in for?"
"Being," Yogi says. "Being and nothingness."
He always says things like that. He calls them Zen sayings. You can't argue with them because they don't make sense in the first place. So you just have to smile and let it go.
Mrs. Levitt is calling me.
"I hope you get out of here soon, Yogi," I tell him.
"Okay, Ruby," says Levitt. "Let's go."
I poke my head out the door, looking up and down the street. I'm hoping Sophie and Gordy will be off somewhere, preferably together so I won't run into them. There's not that many kids my age in the Village besides them and Ray, but he's so tall you might not know he's a kid. He has a girlfriend but she goes to a regular school, so she doesn't have much to worry about.
Sophie, me, Ray, and Gordy, on the other hand, are a different story. We're supposed to be at P.S. 41, which is a normal-looking school on West Eleventh. But, like I said, people here are trying to throw out the old rules. So Nell-mom and Gary Daddy-o thought we should go to a school that would teach us more about how to live and less about pleasing a teacher. Sophie's mom, Mrs. Tania, and Gordy's parents agreed.
Now here's what I mean when I talk about a can of worms. There's a store in the Village called Blue Skies that's owned by a couple named Sky and Blu. Sky is short for Skylar, Blu for Bluma, and they just figured they belonged together. Because Sky used to be an English teacher, he said he would teach us if we helped out behind the register—and pay us, too. So Nell-mom, Mrs. Tania, and Gordy's dad fixed the place up and take turns cleaning it. And that's where we go to school.
Blue Skies is kind of a candy store but has all kinds of other stuff, too—posters, magazines, stuff for motorcycles. Classes start at all different times—like whenever we feel like it, and we make up our own homework. We read poetry and learn math by running the cash register. Gordy's really good at numbers, so he shows us how to do times tables and long division. If you count lunch and recess, it's almost like a regular school.
But it's not really allowed and we're not supposed to talk about it. And if I hadn't got in trouble with Tattoo Tina, I wouldn't have to. I can still keep it a secret, but I'm going to have to be careful. Once Mrs. Levitt gets ahold of this I don't know what she'll do.
"Ready?" She holds the door open for me.
I skip outside like I haven't got a care in the world. But once I'm outside the station house I go down the stairs slowly, blocking Mrs. Levitt's way so she has to follow me. If I time it right, I can get into the alley before she sees me. Then I can run.

HiSKY FF120 3D Mini RC Quadcopter Kit Version Body only
The HiSKY Micro is the first micro quadcopter on the market today that includes a 2.4gHz RF module allowing it to be used with your own transmitter. This means it can be flown with Spektrum, JR, Futaba, Hitec, Turnigy, Walkera and other transmitters*. The transmitter will simply need to have a trainer port (JR style 3.5mm or Futaba style 6-pin) and be capable of outputting PPM signal.
This micro quad features leading edge technology including a highly precise 6-axis gyro stabilization system making it ultra stable. Normally, building and setting up of multi-rotor aircraft requires lots of time, tuning and having to choose your own power system/components. The HiSKY Micro takes away all of the complicated setup and makes it as easy as opening the box, charging the batteries, connecting the RF module to your own transmitter and flying!
The HiSKY Micro is very capable with plenty of power to spare. In normal mode, its stable flight characteristics make it stress-free for the less experienced quad pilot. Switch it to aerobatic mode (via your transmitter's GEAR channel) and it's very responsive for those looking to push it to the limits. When in aerobatic mode, the responsiveness is greatly increased which allows for flips, rolls and loops to be performed!

Small screen's Sita happy to shoot with reel Raavan
Madirakshi, who is currently seen playing the role of Sita in 'Siya Ke Ram', is glad that she is getting time to shoot with her friend and actor Karthik Jayaram, who essays the role of Raavan in the mythological saga.
As per the ongoing track of the Star Plus show, Raavan has kidnapped Sita and taken her to his kingdom.
"Earlier when we used to shoot at different units, we hardly got the time to meet despite being in the same city and the same hotel. Given our erratic schedules, we are left with very minimal time for ourselves. Now that we have reached the phase of Sita being in Lanka, I am happy that I get to see my friend Karthik," Madirakshi said in a statement.
Karthik is also ecstatic.
He said: "There were times when we would shoot on sets next to each other and be in vanities across each other but we couldn't meet but now things are different and I am happy that I can see Madirakshi more often. Now I feel that yes, we both are key parts of the same show."
'Siya Ke Ram' is a unique depiction of Ramayana from Sita's perspective. The show features Ashish Sharma as Ram.

Frederick Taylor vs. Henri Fayol
Frederick Taylor and Henri Fayol are both considered classical contributors to management theory. Both were developing and expression their viewpoints at similar time period with the aim of "raising standard of management in industry" (Brodie,1967, p7) in a period were very few publications and theories on management. While both theories were developed with the same influencing factors such as war, social struggles and industrial revolution (Urwick. 1951, p7) each developed quite different management theories. Frederick Taylor is considered the Father of Scientific management and he developed scientific principles of management, focusing on the individual, rather than the team and aimed to improve efficiency through production-line time studies, breaking each job down into its components and designing the quickest and best methods of performing each component. When implementing his ideas he looked individually at each worker to tailor to their intelligence, background and abilities. For example Taylor considered "the most important object of both the workmen and the management should be the training and development of each individual" (Taylor, 1947, p 12) and when applying his theory at Bethlehem Steel with the pig-iron handlers, "one man after another was picked out and trained" (Taylor,1947, p47) on and individual level. In contrast Henri Fayol's Administrative theory "focused on the total organization rather than the individual worker, delineating the management functions of planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling." (Daft, 2000, p.48). While Scientific management and Administrative management are both from the classical era Taylor focuses more on the individual then Fayol does.
Frederick Taylor vs. Elton Mayo
Elton Mayo is part of the Human Relation Movements and most of his work is based on a series of social experiments known as the Hawthorne Studies. Both Taylor and Mayo theories focus on the individual and have similar goals for their theory such as ways to motivate workers to increase efficiency. In order to achieve this they try to identify workers needs, which would then allow managers to "manipulate or influence these needs, making it easier for employees to improve their performance"(Miles,1975, p 45). However they differ greatly what an employee needs and what motivates them. Mayo focuses on work relationships as the key to improving workplace productivity, inspired by the Hawthorne studies. He studied the effects of physical working conditions on employee productivity and fatigue. These studies suggested that leaders are able to positively influence employee motivation and productivity by showing concern for employee relationships. What these studies also showed is that people desire to have good human relations in the work place, "Man's desire to be continuously associated in work with his fellows is a...

EU considering requiring lower CO2 emissions on new cars
New cars and vans in the European Union will produce one-third less carbon dioxide within eight years, under proposed new rules set out on Wednesday (11 July) in Brussels.
By 2020, the average emissions from new cars will have to be no more than 95g of carbon dioxide per kilometre driven, a cut of more than 40g from today's levels and of 35g/km compared with the 2015 target, if the proposed new regulations are accepted.
Connie Hedegaard, climate chief of the European commission, said the goals were "ambitious but achievable" and would benefit consumers, through fuel cost savings, and help the EU's car-making industry compete with overseas manufacturers.
She said: "What we are proposing is a fair and balanced regulation."
The proposals will now have to be accepted by member states and the European parliament, if they are to come into force. That process could be tricky as car companies are continuing to lobby politicians on the goals.
According to the EU's estimates, as a result of the new goals the average driver of a new car in 2020 would save about €340 in the first year on fuel costs, and between about €2,900 and €3,800 over the car's average 13-year lifetime, compared with the 2015 target. This would equate to total savings of about €30bn a year in fuel costs, which could increase EU GDP by €12bn a year and create new jobs, as well as saving about 160m tonnes of imported oil.
But car manufacturers have been lobbying heavily against the proposals in the corridors of Brussels, arguing that the strict targets would incur high costs in research and development and in adapting production lines.
Hedegaard dismissed these claims, pointing out that car companies made the same protests before the proposals for the 2015 targets. Yet manufacturers have now almost met the 2015 targets, years ahead of time. "Look back at all the terrible things that [they said] would happen, then go and see what the manufacturers are doing – this is where the innovation curve took off," she said.
