The World Bank's Social Development Department recently held a contest for short documentary films on the social dimensions of climate change.
The contest included a Young Voices of Climate Change Award for filmmakers under the age of 24. Youthink! met with the winners to get some inside info on their film. Check out the video above to get the scoop.
Reading the contest guidelines, I was struck by the broad range of categories. The expected impacts of climate change reach far beyond what many of us realize. The categories were:
• Conflict: As climate change results in scarcity of resources and economic and, in many cases, political instability, how may it lead to social unrest and armed conflict?
• Migration: Are there any links between climate change and population migration?
• Social Policy: How do governments prepare effective social policy to meet climate change challenges?
• Drylands: What is the social response in drylands related to climate change?
• Urban Space: How do climate change adaptation measures take into account the needs of the poor in the urban environment?
• Rural Institutions: How do local level institutions in agrarian societies build capacity to handle risks associated to climate change and deliver solutions?
• Indigenous Peoples: How are Indigenous Peoples responding and adapting to the impacts of climate change?
• Gender: Are there different implications of climate change for men and women, boys and girls? How or where can instances of this be seen?
• Governance: How can social accountability be promoted in climate action?
• Forests: What are the threats and opportunities for local communities in efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation?
• Human Rights: What are the human rights implications of climate change?

Subsidyscope's analysis of government spending data finds that the federal role in the energy sector is significant, although smaller than its role relative to some other sectors, such as transportation. Total federal spending on tax expenditures and grant programs likely to contain a subsidy in the energy sector was about $25 billion in fiscal year 2009.
In addition to direct spending and tax expenditures, Subsidyscope examines support provided through risk transfers and regulatory subsidies. The energy sector received about $16.7 billion in direct loans and $14.5 billion in loan guarantees in fiscal year 2009. Government estimates for regulatory subsidies are not typically available; however, Subsidyscope provides an overview of some regulatory subsidies.

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by progressive loss of bone density, thinning of bone tissue and increased vulnerability to fractures.

A - glowing yellow-orange with half-inch head. lace stayed slightly above fluid line and gently came down with the beer.
S - yeast & herbs
T - bread, spices, & rye
M - light carbonation, refreshing
O - excellent
Had this @ Mead House in Cambridge. Served in a Pretty Things goblet. Went well with mesclun salad and fries.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
Poured from a bottle at home.
A: deep golden color with orange hues
S: some clove and pepper phenolics from Belgian yeast; slight grainy aroma from wheat, oats
T: a bit of spice and pepper, finishes bitter; slight kick from rye is apparent, some bready notes from other grains
M: well carbonated, medium body; present on tongue long after finish; carbonation helps keep it lighter in mouth
O: overall a good saison with some amber influence; works well on a cool fall afternoon
This would work nicely with spicy Thai food or a rich pork dish with some peppery or herbal and phenolic notes.
Serving type: bottle

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
We put a 1/6th keg of this on tap, and it was sold out in 7 days! This is a full bodied, harvest time saison. More brown, richer and slightly sweeter than many saisons (and Pretty Things own signature Jack D'or). Pours a light amber, darker than most saisons, with an aroma of rye and roasted oat in the mix of grains. Tasting it leads to a very full bodied mouthfeel (almost cream-soda like) with just enough of a hop kick to cleanse the palate. A very nice seasonal style for the cooling New England Fall.
Serving type: on-tap

Brown, Mandel Square Off in Debate
CLEVELAND -- U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and challenger Josh Mandel came out swinging today in their first formal debate. State Treasurer Mandel went after Brown, stating the economy is worse than it was when he took office, while Brown bashed Mandel for signing an anti-tax pledge.
"It means you can't close that loophole that says if a company in Willowick and Elyria shuts down and moves its operations overseas, they can get a tax break to do that. There's simply no sense in that sort of tax policy," said, Brown, a democrat.
"Since he's gone to Washington: Unemployment up; gas prices, up; tuition, up; foreclosures, up; health care costs, up. I mentioned it earlier, I'm going to mention it again, that is a record of failure," Republican Mandel said.
Brown and Mandel will debate again on Thursday in Columbus and in Cincinnati on October 25.

Dear Chamber Member:
I am writing on behalf of the Kingman Chamber of Commerce (KCC) Board of Directors with important information about your membership dues.
Your elected Board of Directors gave careful and thoughtful consideration to the issue of increasing membership dues in these financially difficult times. Chamber dues have not increased for the previous three years, and have increased only once in the last six years.

There are so many virtual online worlds out there that choosing which one to inhabit can be daunting. Most massively multiplayer games try to stand out in some manner, perhaps with intriguing lands to explore, exciting player-versus-player matches, or just the promise of ever-more-powerful swords and sickles to wield. Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising's lures are threefold. First is the setting. Roman mythology is an excellent backdrop for a role-playing game and has gone curiously underexplored in the genre. Second is the estate, your personal domain that gradually improves as you fulfill quest objectives. Third is the minion feature. Depending on your level, you can travel with up to four AI-controlled teammates who assist you in battle, so it's like you have your very own personal adventuring party even when you are soloing. These are good ideas that give flavor to an otherwise mundane, dated, and boring online RPG in which the basics are about as basic as can be.
6322210In these glades, you tackle stags, bears, and bad animations.None
Lure number one: the world. Gods & Heroes takes place on the Italian peninsula of antiquity, mixing historical elements (the Senate and the baths) with mythological ones (fauns, cyclopes, and the favor of the gods). This good-sized world covers a lot of ground, certainly as much as you would expect from a just-released massively multiplayer online game. And because your initial quests span two large regions, you get a good amount of environmental variety from the start. You come across centaurs early on, giving you a taste of the fantastical straight away, and while initial areas are bog-standard forest paths and beaches, later areas, such as the foggy Venatrix Glades, provide a bit more ambience. Such atmospheric locales are welcome, considering how dated Gods & Heroes looks. On the bright side, a modern PC should be able to run the game at its highest settings, and at a high resolution, and still maintain over 100 frames per second. (Except in areas where the game slows to an inexplicable crawl, such as in your personal estate.) The downside is that the game runs so well because it isn't rendering much worth admiring. Textures are plain, geometry is simple, and the lighting is flat. And lots of details simply don't look right, such as how rain might splash on an invisible surface above you rather than on the ground. Luckily, the soundtrack fills in where the visuals struggle. The calls of horns, exotic bassoon melodies, and string glissandos enrich your travels, as if you might stumble upon Bacchus himself, wallowing in drunken revelry.
Lure number two: your estate. The estate is your own instanced home base, where you can find an armor outfitter for your minions, personal storage, and a few other helpful features. When you first begin, your property is relatively bare, but as you complete estate-related quests, the area begins to take shape. Buildings and architectural features like statues appear as you progress, and there's pleasure in seeing this bare valley morph into a visual expression of your great might; it's as if your estate mirrors your own progress from zero to hero. But while the development team plans to give estates more meaning, for now they are just expansive personal spaces. You can't invite other players or members of your tribe (that is, guild) to join you there and admire your spires. You also can't decide where you want buildings or ornaments to go. (How great would an actual city-building mechanic have been?) It's appealing to watch your estate grow, but at this time, this feature has an enormous amount of untapped potential.
Lure number three: minions. These AI-controlled entities come in three flavors: spellcasters, defenders, and skirmishers. Before level 11 (out of a maximum of 30), you have only one such buddy at your side, though you gain an additional slot at specific levels, eventually taking up to four of them along on your travels. Minions are Gods & Heroes' finest asset, making you feel as if you have a full adventuring party with you even if you aren't grouped with others. This is just as well, as it turns out. The game's population is so small, you could explore for hours without encountering another player, and even the global chat channel goes for long stretches without anyone actually chatting. Gods & Heroes' players are the friendly sort, but it takes some extra effort to explore the game's instanced dungeons, given the community's size.
Minions make two-player parties like this one feel even bigger.
That effort is almost worth it, however, if only because small group battles seem a lot more hectic when each party member also brings two or three minions along. You add new minions to your available roster by hiring them or earning their loyalty as quest rewards, and eventually you can choose from more than a hundred of them. Some minions heal; others zap enemies with spells; while others poke away at attacking harpies with spears. So no matter which of the game's four classes you choose for your own character (gladiator, mystic, soldier, or priest), chances are you will gain plenty of minions that complement your chosen role. Collecting minions is addictive, in part because they are both more substantial and more tangible than typical MMOG rewards: usually, some experience, a bit of coin, and maybe a helmet that you eventually sell to a vendor a few hours later.
However, your minions don't just give you help; they also give you headaches. Minion AI is an ongoing problem that might have you abandoning certain hirelings simply because they don't perform as they should. Some minions might attack your target when you do, just as they are supposed to, but will refuse to attack subsequent targets in the same battle unless you specifically command them to do so. Other minions refuse to perform their feats (that is, special abilities), making them somewhat useless, because standard minion attacks don't do a lot of damage on their own. Furthermore, while the minion interface includes stances (passive, defensive, aggressive), the aggressive stance doesn't work, though developer Heatwave Interactive handily included the words "not working" in the stance description.

Praise for Escape from Furnace:
"Fresh and ferocious . . . Will hook boys with its gritty, unrelenting surprises." —James Patterson
"Furnace is hotter than hell and twice as much fun! Sign me up for a life sentence of Alexander Gordon Smith!" —Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series
"Uniquely horrifying." —Realms of Fantasy
"Gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled." —School Library Journal
"Breathlessly paced and soaked with blood, mucus, and less savory substances. . . . Readers who relish lurid imagery . . . will continue to be riveted and left eager for the next disgust-o-rama episode." —Booklist
"A thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more. Smith's prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two. Teens who are looking for a great thriller/horror story will definitely want to pick up these novels." —VOYA
"My biggest success story last year was when a student, a fifth year senior, attended a booktalk and couldn't wait to read Lockdown. It was the first book he read all the way through in five years of high school. I was privileged to get the galley from a conference for Solitary and gave it to him. I told him to keep the book—in less than a week he returned it to me in pristine condition and wanted more." —Librarian, Washington High School, Sioux Falls, SD
ALEXANDER GORDON SMITH lives in Norwich, England. He is a co-founder of Fear Driven Films, which is currently producing its first feature film. The Escape from Furnace series marks his publishing debut in the United States.

In The Man Who Was Almost a Man, consider Dave's original goals for buying the pistol and what ultimately happens. His aspirations to become a man backfire on him terribly, resulting in him becoming the laughing stock of the town. Later, he has something of an epiphany, resolving to find a place that will respect him. Ask yourself how his original plans conclude in failure and later drive him to press on. What does this show us about an adolescent's drive to be treated as an adult? How does he falter and keep pressing on? Make a sentence that sums up this path that many teens take.

Born in Beijing, China, on April 26, 1963, Jet Li is an actor and martial artist. At the age of 11, Li won his first national championship in wushu. Li retired from the sport when he was 17 and made his film debut in Shaolin Temple, making him a star in his home country. Since 1994, he has gone back and forth between Chinese and English-language films, starring in Hollywood's Romeo Must Die, Kiss of the Dragon and The Forbidden Kingdom.
"I was from a very poor family and we didn't have enough money for a good school, so sports-school was good; it gave me good food and an opportunity out of China."
Martial Arts Fame
Born Li Lian Jie on April 26, 1963, in Beijing, China, Jet Li is the youngest of five children. When Li was only 2 years old, he lost his father. At age 8, he began learning wushu, a form of martial arts. Noting his talent, his family sent him to continue his studies at a special school. "I was from a very poor family and we didn't have enough money for a good school, so sports-school was good; it gave me good food and an opportunity out of China," Li later explained to Muscle & Fitness magazine.
At the age of 11, Li won his first national championship. As a result, he traveled to more than 45 countries as part of the Bejing Wushu Team. In 1974, Li traveled to the United States and gave a martial arts demonstration for President Richard M. Nixon. He became the All-Around National Wushu Champion that year, a title he held for five consecutive years.
Li retired from the sport when he was 17. Working with director Chang Hsin Yen, he made his film debut in Shaolin Temple (1982). The film helped make Li a star in his native country, and spawned several sequels. By the end of the 1980s, Li had relocated to Hong Kong, where he became involved in the martial arts film scene. In Once Upon a Time in China (1991) he played Wong Fei-hung, a legendary hero who fights against foreigners in this 19th century tale. The popular film had two sequels.
Hollywood Hit
In 1994, Li landed his first English-language role, playing a bad guy in Lethal Weapon 4 with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. He relocated to Los Angeles for the film, where he underwent intensive language training to prepare for his role as a Chinese crime boss. This action film, especially the scenes with Li, delighted movie audiences.
Li teamed up with rapper DMX and singer Aaliyah for Romeo Must Die (2000) a hip-hop-meets-martial-arts take on the classic tale of young love, Romeo and Juliet. Li and Aaliyah played star-crossed lovers from two warring crime families. The film scored big at the box office, earning roughly $100 million. In 2001, Li co-starred with Bridget Fonda in Kiss of the Dragon directed by Luc Besson. He helped develop the story for the film, which tells the tale of a wronged intelligence officer out to clear his name with the help of a prostitute (played by Fonda). A critic for The New York Times praised parts of the film, writing "his action sequences are like an oil fire, spilling from one room into the next and lighting the interiors with heat and wreckage. Mr. Li and his fisticuffs choreographer, Corey Yuen, have set a new standard for action here."

Famous Action Movie Stars
Action movie stars are the heroes and heroines who get our adrenaline pumping. Early action stars include Douglas Fairbanks, the swashbuckling adventurer of the 1920s and '30s; John Wayne, the famous gunslinger of the 1940s and '50s; and Sean Connery, who played the debonair spy Bond—James Bond—in the 1960s. By the 1970s, however, a new maverick action star had hit the silver screen, with rogue cops played by Steve McQueen in Bullitt and Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry, as well as the military mercenary Rambo (Sylvester Stallone). By the 1980s, action movies were literally exploding on screen, with big budgets and big stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) and Bruce Willis (Die Hard), leading to today's action-packed blockbusters. Here's a look at some of Hollywood's most famous action movie stars, who have kicked some major butt on the big screen.

According to the Chamber of Commerce, any circulars we send out won't cost us anything. Dr. Manning--Should the meeting go in the red, who makes up the deficit?Dr. Kohl--I do not think it would go in the red. The dinner and dance was over and above the cost of the speakers and the cost of the registration. Dr. Manning--What you want is a vote of confidence plus assurance that the boys will vote the $15.00 registration?Dr. Kohl--We want to know we are going to be backed up before we make plans.Dr. Rudolph--Does the County Society underwrite it?Dr. Kohl--They did up there, put on a mandatory assessment.Dr. Harry Thompson--I think it ought to be supported because the ones I have attended have been absolutely the best meetings we have had in Arizona or any place else.Dr. Manning--What sort of action to [ do ] you wan to take?Dr. Kohl--1. Approve the action made by your past President and the plans for the meeting, and 2. Ask the Society to underwrite it, whether by assessment of otherwise.I would think it would be better to do it this way so that some of our members do not feel that there is a lot of coercion--have the Society agree to make up any deficit which will occur by the registration of the Pima County members at the convention. Urge them to attend.Dr. Manning--Would you be willing to come to the meeting Tuesday and discuss this then?Dr. Kohl--I would be glad to. It will put the Society on official record, binding them to support it in case there is a deficit which would only come about by poor attendance on the part of the members of the Society--those who do not register would be bound to make up the deficit.Dr. Hill--You have made no mention of how much deficit we would stand for. Why not take it before out Society and get the approval of 100% registration at $15.00, and we will guarantee the amount of registration at $15.00 for each member? Then we would know where we stand.Dr. Kohl--They must understand that that amount does not include attendance at social functions. That would be very acceptable to us. I just felt that I would make this suggestion, as we only recently had an increase in dues.Dr. Rudolph--I move that we recommend that the Society go on record as being willing to underwrite the thing up to $15.00 registration of 186 members, with the understanding that if it is less and there is any surplus left in the hands of the Committee, it will be returned to the Society.Dr. Kohl--Southwestern has no money on hand.Motion seconded by Dr. Hill and carried.Dr. Hill--One other point. I am serious about considering the Arizona Inn and inquiring about that. You might have a better chance of getting more rooms under one roof.Dr. Costin--I might say that the Southwestern Obs. & Gyne people had their meeting there, and they charged a flat rate on the American Plan which was

Work the Shell - Displaying Image Directories in Apache, Part III
In last month's column, we built our directory display script to the point where you could get a smart listing that showed your image files (offering links to any other file type), and we allowed thumbnails to be displayed too.
The latter trick is done by letting the Web browser do the work. If you specify a height or width that's different from the actual image size, Web browsers automatically scale the image to fit the specified dimensions. Even better, if you specify only one dimension, it scales proportionally to fit.
Let me explain that just a wee bit more, because it's critical to this particular scripting project. If you have an image that's 250x250 pixels and you'd like to display a 75x75 thumbnail, the best practice is to specify both height="75" and width="75", of course. The problem is, what if the image is actually 250x317 and you want to reduce it to exactly 75 pixels wide. How tall should it be?
You could do the math, of course, but it's much nicer to let the browser do the work for you automatically, which happens if you specify only width="75" or use a full HTML statement:

Doing that scales it, and you end up with an image that's exactly 75x95 pixels in size. However, if you always constrain one dimension, things can break. What if the image is actually 250x1100, because it's a very tall graphic? Now the thumbnail is going to break the entire layout, because the scaled version of it is 330 pixels wide, quite a bit more than the 75x75 target box for the image!
That's why an ideal script would figure out which of the dimensions is larger, and then constrain that one to the size of the box we seek, letting the other scale proportionally automatically, thanks to the Web browser. And, that's exactly what we'll do!
Big Important Caveat: I realize there's a significant performance penalty for letting the browser scale images—the entire full-size image has to be downloaded, even though you're seeking a smaller version. If it was a problem, you could use a tool such as ImageMagick to scale the images and create thumbnail graphics that were displayed instead, probably dropping them into a cache and creating new ones on the fly as needed. But honestly, don't you have a high-bandwidth Internet connection, and does an additional second or two of load time really matter?
Last month, we created the darn useful script function figuresize, which, when given a graphic image, returned height and width parameters when those could be calculated. The resultant main loop in the script ended up looking like this:
for name in * do if [ ! -z "$(file -b $name|grep 'image data')" ] then figuresize $name if [ ! -z "$height" ] ; then echo "" echo "
$name ($height x $width)
" else echo "" echo "
$name
" fi else echo "$name

" fi done
If you read the code closely, it's really not doing anything smart with the height and width parameters, just displaying them in the output. Instead, let's turn that into a test to figure out which is larger. Before I do that though, we need to make some rudimentary improvements to the loop so the output is more attractive:
for name in * do if [ ! -z "$(file -b $name|grep 'image data')" ] then figuresize $name if [ ! -z "$height" ] ; then echo "" echo "$name ($height x $width)" else echo "" echo "$name" fi else echo "$name
" fi echo "
" done
The result of running this improved script (where images are clickable, there's a horizontal rule between entries and so forth) is shown in Figure 1.
Now, let's look at how to make the script even smarter:
if [ ! -z "$height" ] ; then if [ $height -gt $width ] ; then dimensionlabel="height" else dimensionlabel="width" fi
Can you see what I've done here? This lets us figure out which of the two dimensions of the graphic is larger and then set the dimensionlabel to that particular dimension. Here's the result:

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Nature imagery underlines the plot and meaning. Although authors typically associate death with autumn and winter, Brentley's supposed death occurs in the spring. The trees are "all aquiver" with new life. Rain has fallen, purifying the air, and now the clouds are parting to show "patches of blue sky." This scene mirrors Louise's situation. The death of Brentley marks the end of the winter of her discontent; her soul can awake from its torpor. She can realize the full potential of her life, so she, like the trees, feels aquiver with life. The clouds again represent her married life, which cast shadows on her happiness, but now the horizon of her life is clearing. As she contemplates her future, she imagines "spring days and summer days" only, not autumn or winter days, because she links herself to the seasons of rebirth and ripening.
In contrast to the world of nature is the cloistered, confining house, symbol of domesticity. In her own room she looks through an open window, another symbol of her freedom. The window does not intervene between her and nature and allows her the scope of infinite vision. She herself locks and unlocks the door to her room, admitting or excluding whomever she wants. She has what Virginia Woolf stressed as so important, a room of her own. However, it is only a temporary, and finally an inadequate, refuge. She leaves it, as she must, to rejoin her sister and Richards; in unlocking her door she paradoxically...
