Since 2005, the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation program (REDD+) has functioned as a mechanism to financially incentivize the preservation of forestlands in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

When she finished her dissertation on migration as a response to climate change in 2003, it was one of only a handful of scholarly papers published on the topic that year, said Susana Adamo, an associate research scientist at Columbia University's Center for International Earth Science Information Network. But in the decade since, interest in climate migration has exploded – in 2012, more than 10 times as many papers were published.
Land Restitution, Gender Equity, and Rural Development in Colombia
May 09, 2014 // 9:00am — 11:00am
Latin American Program
Colombia's 2011 Victims and Land Restitution Law is an historic piece of legislation that seeks to redress victims of forced displacement in rural areas and formalize land rights for those who want to return to their properties. As a mechanism of transitional justice, the Law places the victims of conflict at the center of state activity. It also provides a series of positive measures to address the historic and conflict-related discrimination that women victims have experienced when attempting to reclaim their land. Does the Law accomplish these goals and secure gender-equitable property rights for victims of violence?
Women in Conflict Resolution: Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up Approaches
May 06, 2014 // 3:00pm — 4:30pm
Kennan Institute
The inclusion of women in foreign policy-making and implementation in peace-building and post-conflict transformation is known to result in better policies for all. Yet, women remain under-represented in the field. Attempts to involve women have largely focused on top-down approaches. However, bottom-up approaches demonstrate a lot of potential, as shown by the involvement of women in Turkish-Greek and Turkish-Armenian conflict resolution processes. In which way are bottom-up approaches effective? What can we learn from previous efforts? Which lessons are applicable internationally?

The aestheticians at Fresh Faces bolster their facials with products from Skin Fitness Therapy, professional-grade potions that meld natural ingredients with scientific formulas. This is part of the progressive approach they take regarding skincare treatments, which are customized to address each individual?s particular skincare needs. Along with facials, the staff performs microdermabrasion and skin-exfoliation treatments to eliminate dull, lifeless skin cells on the face. Airbrush tanning services quench skin with a customized, nourishing bronze glaze while organic peels packed with fruit enzymes reveal younger, smoother-looking surfaces. Those looking to contour unsightly curves can try the Venus Freeze system, which tightens skin while minimizing the appearance of fine lines. Downy robes and complimentary beverages help clients relax and wind down during their treatment of choice.
The color scheme inside Seven Seas Spa & Salon transitions from chartreuse to cool blues, as if narrating, in color, the space's shift from the liveliness of the friendly stylists on the hair-salon floor to the relaxation of the soothing spa services. Using all-natural Aveda products, the hair designers snip away and demonstrate the skills they've learned in the educational workshops they attend regularly to keep abreast of the latest cut, color, and styling trends. Equally savvy spa technicians work back in the spa space, lit by royal-blue bulbs and accented by cascading light fixtures and wavy white walls. Inside private treatment rooms, gentle facials and massages immerse clients in soothing scents and sensations as effectively as a jacuzzi whose water has been replaced with aromatherapy oil.
As an Aveda Concept salon, Assaf Aveda Salon utilizes a full line of Aveda products to refashion hair into sleek, luxurious locks. The salon welcomes guests into its spacious abode with an array of spa-like amenities. All services come with a steaming cup of organic herbal tea, a complimentary scalp massage with a hot towel and aromatic oil, and a hand massage with Aveda Hand Relief cream. Hardwood floors encourage posttreatment sock skating, and chrome-and-leather chairs provide the ideal furniture for games of pretend spaceship piloting.

Before hitting a beach at the nearby Atlantic Ocean, consider stopping in at New Me Spa for a wax. The aestheticians here rely on strip-less hard wax, never double-dipping, to remove stubborn hairs from bikini areas, as well as arms, backs, chests, and legs. According to New Me Spa's owner, using this type of wax, which is allowed to harden before it is pulled off the body, can be less painful than using traditional strip wax or hugging a sap-covered tree and quickly pulling away.
In addition to waxing, New Me Spa's aestheticians treat patrons to everything from facials and peels to tanning and lash and brow tinting. They also beautify bodies with med-spa technologies, including red-light therapy and whole-body-vibration therapy.
Walking in to Armandeus, the first thing clients will likely notice is the stark whiteness of the place: the walls, the floor, the ceiling. It creates a uniquely modern and clean aesthetic, but it also allows the ruby red and lime green chairs to pop, not to mention the shelves filled with green, purple, and yellow bottles. But the bottles are not for display only; licensed stylists use them during their designer cuts and keratin services. For color services, the team relies on L'Oreal INOA color, which eschews all amonia ingredients and, like a month-and-a-half long shower, keeps hair hydrated for up to six weeks.
The Healing Body Center focuses on rejuvenating minds and bodies with slimming, anti-aging, and therapeutic massages. Therapists customize massages by drawing on a range of healing modalities including deep tissue, sport, senior, and oriental—a blend of Thai, Yumeiho, and Shiatsu techniques. In the studio's treatment rooms, radio-frequency machines and glycolic acid wait to reduce fine lines and soften the skin texture of faces that have been pressed gleefully against the window of a sandpaper store. LipoSlim devices purr in other areas of the salon, beaming painless lasers at unwanted fat cells.

Notes taken while on vacation in LV May '11....
A- This is a filtered wheat beer that is copper in color and came with a nice clean looking, off white colored head with good retention, which settled down to a fine layer. There was soapy lacing but it didn't really stick to the glass at all. The carbonation didn't appear to be overwhelming either.
S- Mild smokey malt was at the forefront of the aroma. There was a little bit of citrus for a bit of tartness, and was followed up by a distinct toasted yeasty biscuit smell. The finish was just a hint of hop bitterness.
T- This was absolutely delicious! Smokey grains and pork sausage were the initial flavors here, in a good; not overpowering way. Toasted malts and a balanced citrusy bitter finish complete the flavor profile.
M- Light in body best describes this beer...the carbonation is crisp, yet fine overall. I got a really good sense of the smokey malt sweetness in this one.
O- Simply put, give me this beer anytime of the day or night! It was well balanced, the smokiness gave this a very unique flavor that I hadn't tried before, and it was light and refreshing. It also went well with the same pizza I enjoyed with their Stout. Would love to drink this again sometime!

"He's Like The Greatest Guy Ever" Kelly Rowland Gushes Over Husband Tim Witherspoon And Pregnancy
Kelly Rowland has been known for keeping her personal life private but perhaps the hormones and overflowing of love she's feeling these days has gotten her ready to open up and tell all. Because in a recent E! News interview the singer couldn't help but gush about how amazing her life is these days.
In talking about her partnership with Caress, she opened up about preparing for the birth of her first child, who is due this fall, with her husband and manager Tim Witherspoon.
"I'm extremely excited. First of course for myself and my husband. We couldn't be more happy."
She talked about how supportive and attentive he's been to her during this time.
"He's just super supportive. He's like have you eaten today? Did you take your vitamins? Did you drink enough water? He's so hands on and I'm just so blessed. I just love him, he's like the greatest guy ever. He's so awesome I just can't believe how blessed I am…and he is too! He's an amazing man."
And he hasn't been the only supportive person in her life. Rowland says even complete strangers are full of well wishes and advice for the mom-to-be.
"I've gotten the best advice from every woman! It's at the corner of the street, at the grocery store, at the mall…It's really sweet actually the way women have been towards me. They ask can they touch my belly, they just have good advice. They're just supportive and that's the way we're meant to be an a unit. It feels really good to have that support."
And as we've been able to see with her pregnancy workouts, Rowland is not going to be held down. She mentioned that she's also been in the studio working on new music.
"Sometimes you do have those sessions where it's almost too good to be true. You come up with these ideas and then the producers and writers start building on top of it and make a beautiful canvas."
This just gave me warm fuzzies. We don't even know the half of Kelly's story but from what we do know, she's been through a lot. And as someone who always roots for her to win, I'm so glad to see her so undeniably happy these days.
And just for good measure, check out Kelly, her man and her friend La La Anthony living and loving life in this recent Instagram sing-a-long video she shared.
14 Beautiful Black Women With Darker Complexions Who Encourage Others To Love The Skin They're In
It's nice to see a more diverse group of women get shine in the media these days, and by diverse, I do mean women of color, but more specifically, the shades of black women we get to see on TV and in magazines. And not only are these women beautiful, but they are confident, and provide young girls with words of encouragement to embrace the skin they're in. Here are 14 women who have done just that in a culture that spends too much time celebrating one homogeneous look.
Kelly Rowland Gets Her PDA On With Husband Tim, Shares More Pics Of Her Growing Baby Bump [Photos]
Pregnancy, and happiness in general, look oh so good on Kelly Rowland. The singer shared the news that she is expecting her first child with husband and manager Tim Witherspoon last month, almost a month after tying the knot with her man in Costa Rica in May. The couple have kept their relationship before and after getting married, very private, but the singer decided to share a photo this past weekend of her and her hubby having a rare PDA moment.
Check out more images of the beauty and her baby bump below and share your thoughts.

'It's Going On MY Album:' Michelle Williams Makes It Clear That 'Say Yes' Isn't A Destiny's Child Song
Destiny's Child fans were ecstatic to learn that the trio would be somewhat reuniting for Michelle Williams' new single "Say Yes." And somehow, in all of the excitement, some people interpreted the track as a sign that a new Destiny's Child album is in the works. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. But we're content for now seeing the ladies coming together to promote one another's solo careers.
"There was an interview we did some years ago saying that we would participate, in whatever capacity, on each other's solo projects," Michelle explained to MTV News. "Whether that is appearing with Beyoncé from time to time on her tours, or on shows, or Kelly's album, so this was my turn now to have them on an original song on my album."
Michelle adds that it was awesome being able to reunite with her former group members.
"Filming the video for 'Say Yes' was fun. It was amazing. It was incredible."
Not to be confused, though, Michelle made it clear that "Say Yes" is her project and simply features her DC-3 sisters.
"It feels wonderful [to work with them], and no matter how much we try to say it's not a Destiny's Child song because it's not going on a Destiny's Child album. It's going on MY album featuring Beyoncé and Kelly. It's the same way Kelly featured us on her album. But no matter how much we try to separate ourselves when we're together, it is what it is. This is the group!'" she said laughing.
While we would loveeeeee another Destiny's Child album, we'll take what we can get for now

There were other very beautiful moments that were shared on the Jumbotron screen during their performances, but I don't want to spoil too much for you (and myself). But you can check out the footage of Blue Ivy fresh out the womb, the day Beyoncé became Mrs. Carter, and a gorgeous and glowing Kelly Rowland below.

Pokin': Kelly Rowland Shows Off Her Baby Bump
If there was any doubt in your mind that Kelly Rowland is indeed pregnant, direct your attention to this photo she posted on her Instagram just hours ago.
Given that Kelly has been making appearances and even performing recently, we didn't know how far along she was. But since she knows the sex of her baby (boy), we assumed it had to have been more than a couple of months. And sure enough, this picture confirms it. That belly is pokin' and we love it!
Kelly is too cute!
Maybe her arms look a tad bit bigger but as the saying goes, she's all belly.
I don't Kelly or anything but judging from the type of relationships she's had, I'm happy that she seems to be in a good place right now.
Congrats to her and her husband.
Watch: Michelle Williams' "Say Yes" Video Featuring Destiny's Child
A few days ago, we let you know that there would be a video for Michelle Williams' new gospel song "Say Yes" and today on "Good Morning America," Williams released it. Just as the song calls for, the video is colorful and vibrant, Michelle is doing a little bop and two step while people dance and sing along with the ladies of Destiny's Child. I was really on the fence about this song when I first heard it, but the more I listen, the more I dig it. And the video just makes it all that much better.
Take a look at the visuals in the fun video below and tell us what you think.
ABC US News | ABC Celebrity News
The single is featured on Michelle's upcoming album, Journey to Freedom due out on September 9.
Up next for Michelle is working as a mentor on the new new Oxygen show "Fix My Choir." along with gospel great Shirley Caesar and Mary Mary.

"Inconsiderate Piece of #$%$": Writer Slammed For Saying Kelly Rowland's Unborn Child Will Be Blue Ivy's Personal Assistant
Something that caught my eye on social media and disappointed me was an article found on Yahoo, but from The Wire, announcing that Kelly Rowland is expecting her first child with husband and manager, Tim Weatherspoon. This is of course is a beautiful thing and a happy time for the singer, but what disappointed me was the fact that the entire story, along with the title, Kelly Rowland Pregnant with Future Personal Assistant to Blue Ivy, was less about celebrating, and more about straight dissing Rowland. Considering that I've met Rowland (and she's super sweet), I didn't understand why this person seemed so hellbent on trying to s**t on something worth celebrating like pregnancy and motherhood, but Mr. Price Peterson tried it. Here's just part of what he said in a piece that included a photo of Beyoncé and Jay Z…:
…Blue Ivy needs a posse. Well! It appears that former Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland has heeded that need (or at least has moved to honor a Beyoncé-decreed legal obligation) and has become pregnant! That's right, following her whirlwind romance, Skype engagement, and under-publicized wedding to a gentleman named Tim Witherspoon, Kelly Rowland has announced her pregnancy on Instagram! The cryptic announcement was really just a pair of baby Air Jordans next to a regular-sized pair and the caption "I'll be stuntin like my daddy." That's about it as far as pregnancy confirmations, though, so please be advised this entire incident miiight just be an example of a woman buying baby clothes for herself before getting pregnant. Would you put that sort of thing past Kelly Rowland? Don't answer that. Let's just assume she's pregnant. But I know what you're thinking: How exactly could a possible boy-child become the first member of Blue Ivy's "ma gurls"? That is for you and your outdated gender notions to work through. Congratulations to Kelly Rowland and Blue Ivy Carter! May the future Rowland-Witherspoon child be as fastidious at signing non-disclosure agreements as he/she will be at carrying out Starbucks orders.
I don't know if Peterson thought he was being comical or if he really has some type of personal beef with Rowland's fabulous self, but the people who saw the article made it very clear that his statements were disrespectful and unacceptable:
"Price Peterson, You Insensitive, Inconsiderate Piece of #$%$…You should be ashamed of yourself. This is not your phone, its not a personal text message, its Yahoo"

It's A Boy! Kelly Rowland Announces Pregnancy
This morning we reported that Kelly Rowland may be hiding a baby bump since she appeared to be wearing looser clothing and not showing off her perfect abs. Today the newly wed singer announced subtly via Instagram, she is pregnant with a baby boy! She posted the photo, below with the caption: "I'll be stuntin like my daddy."
The "Motivation" singer exchanged vows last month in Costa Rica with her manager, Tim Witherspoon and it seems like their relationship is an endless celebration! Congratulations to Kelly and her hubby, Tim!

Is Kelly Rowland Hiding A Baby Bump?
It looks like it may be time to place Kelly Rowland on baby bump watch. Since the Billboard Awards, rumors have been circulating that the newly married songstress is with child. Interestingly, her last few public appearances have only seemed to fuel those rumors. In addition to appearing a bit fuller in the face and sporting that expectant mother's glow, Kelly has been rocking her clothing a lot looser than usual.
Just last year, Kelly expressed a desire to have a child, but reasoned that she wasn't ready yet because she was still enjoying being "selfish."
"Right now, I'm a bit selfish, a lot—I was gonna say a little—but I'm still selfish," she explained. "I like my time, I like to wake up whenever I want to and I like to come and go as I please. I don't know if I'm ready to share that time with another person, I don't wanna mess them up."
It's unclear if Kelly has experienced a change of heart, but we're certainly about to find out. High-waisted skirts and loose-fitting shirts can only hide a swelling baby bump for but so long. Kelly tied the knot with manager and longtime boyfriend, Tim Witherspoon, last month in Costa Rica.
Check out some photos from Kelly's latest public appearances. Let us know what you think.

No Public Option in Secret Baucus Health Plan...Baucus Tops Congress in Campaign Funds From Private Health Industry
A bipartisan group of six Senators on the Senate Finance Committee has been working in secret for weeks to draft an alternative to President Obama's plan to overhaul the nation's healthcare system that does not contain a public insurance option, despite support for such an option from American voters. The Senate legislation was drafted during meetings in the office of committee chair, Max Baucus (D–MT). Last month, the Montana Standard reported Baucus has received more campaign money from health and insurance industry interests than any other member of Congress.

Renesola modules
JA Solar bounces back to profits
17 March 2014 12:20 GMT
ReneSola supplies 11.7MW in Italy
05 March 2014 02:28 GMT
ReneSola to make PV panels in Japan
20 February 2014 08:18 GMT
By Karl-Erik Stromsta in London
Monday, March 24 2014
Updated: Monday, March 24 2014
Renesola, a wafer specialist until branching out into modules and polysilicon a few years ago, reported a slim profit of $800,000 in the fourth quarter, joining compatriots such as Trina, JA, Jinko and Canadian Solar in returning to profitability.
The New York-listed company lost $260m for the whole of 2013 on revenues of $1.5bn – its first time cracking the $1bn mark.
Renesola shipped 1.73GW of modules last year, making it one of the fastest growing suppliers in the world.
The company expects to ship 2.3GW-2.5GW of modules this year.
Chief executive Xianshou Li says the company now has about 1GW of module capacity under contract overseas, in places like Poland, South Africa, India, Malaysia, Turkey and – as Recharge recently reported – Japan.
The capacity is, in many cases, outsourced to contract manufacturers.
While the economics of producing outside China remain dubious, Renesola's strategy shields it from trade tariffs and may ingratiate it to governments in key emerging markets around the world.
"Our OEM strategy enables us to grow our business with minimum capital expenditure, and also provides us great flexibility in terms of capacity expansion as dictated by actual market conditions," says Li.
Other Chinese players have followed suit, with JA recently announcing plans for a module-assembly plant in South Africa.
The geographic spread of Renesola's production has left it far less dependent on the growing Chinese – and indeed Asian – market than many of its peers. Renesola notched up more than 40% of its sales last year in Europe and another 20% in the US.
Renesola produced 2,875 tonnes of polysilicon last year – far below its internal capacity – but says it will benefit in the year ahead as polysilicon prices stabilise.

The bodies of 796 children between the ages of two days and nine years old have been found in a disused sewage tank in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland. They died between 1925 and 1961 in a mother and baby home under the care of the Bon Secours nuns. Until the 1990s, Ireland incarcerated unmarried mothers and their children in state-funded, church-run institutions called mother and baby homes or Magdalene asylums, where they worked to atone for their sins. Their children were taken from them. Death rates for children in the Tuam home, and in similar institutions, were four to five times that of the general population.
Forget prayers. Only full disclosure by Ireland's Catholic church can begin to atone for the children who died in its care.
Father Fintan Monaghan, secretary of the Tuam archediocese, says: "I suppose we can't really judge the past from our point of view, from our lens. All we can do is mark it appropriately and make sure there is a suitable place here where people can come and remember the babies that died."
Let's not judge the past on our morals, then, but on the morals of the time. Was it OK, in mid-20th century Ireland, to throw the bodies of dead children into sewage tanks? Monaghan is really saying: "don't judge the past at all." But we must judge the past, because that is how we learn from it.

This blog was originally posted on CGAP.org on July 21, 2014.
Back in the 90's, a vast majority of parents and guardians in Latin America would look down on their children if they decided to opt to become an entrepreneur instead of pursuing a career or enrolling in a University. They would think that their children had a lack of motivation for studying or they were simply not smart enough or too lazy to complete a degree.
R4D recently hosted a panel discussion about the skills that students in developing countries need to excel in the labor market, along with innovative models for delivering those skills at the secondary level. The conversation covered macro issues (for instance, how to scale, how to engage policymakers, how to move successful pilots into the hands of local governments) and the precise skills that youth should acquire to meet the needs of employers.
The following six reports constitute the highlights of the Livelihoods and Economic Strengthening Task Force convened by the Women's Refugee Commission.
The young man at the Apple Genius Bar asked me what kind of work I did while he was trying to fix my laptop last week. I told him, "I work on creating good jobs and higher skills in developing countries." I also told him that 87% of the planet's 1.2 billion 16-24 year olds live in developing countries where there are few good jobs and where the education and training systems are often completely out of synch with the needs of modern economies. He appeared interested, so I continued: "3 out of 5 of all the unemployed in sub-Saharan Africa are youth people living on less than $2/day.
The shocking kidnap of more than 200 girls in northern Nigeria has focused global attention on the dangers faced by young women in Africa. Like millions around the world, I hope and pray for their safe return.
The aim of militants such as Boko Haram, whose very name means "Western education is a sin," is to sew hatred and enmity between Muslim and Christian communities, which have co-existed largely peacefully for generations. Education, in particular the education of women, is a threat to Boko Haram's goals. That is why the group carried out this appalling act.
This blog post includes downloadable presentation materials from the May 28, 2014 Workforce Connections Community of Practice launch event, The Challenge of "Soft Skills" Measurement: Toward a Common Approach.
Re-posted with permission from R4D:
What are the skills needed for employability in the 21st century economy? And what innovative models are needed to deliver these skills to students?
Just a few weeks ago, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab—representing a historic investment in the power of science, technology, innovation and partnership (STIP) to advance our mission.

I'm back suckkaaaa! Had a really busy semester with classes, teaching, writing proposal, and a shoulder injury. HOT DAMN!
Skip to 2:20 listen to the lyrics. So poetic and beautiful.
"Come and lay, I'll kiss you on the eyelids,
then we'll sleep and dream good things.
Don't you know, it is just the chemicals in our brain, that cause us pain?"
Climbed today. Wow, I am really weak, I was able to send one 12. I didn't realize how good of shape I was in last year. I was doing laps on 12's with a 12 pound weight vest on. Now I can barley send one. Oh well, it just felt good to climb, even if it was plastic. Hopefully I'll be able to make it consistent.
I'm doing fine, I'm managing to get by. There are times that a pain strikes like a gust of wind out of know where, and my heart twists, but it's gone as quick as it came. I understand what you wanted me for. I was simply a testing ground for your experience. Hell, if I would have known that is all you wanted, I would have been perfectly fine with that. I would, however, held back the investment of my emotions into your plans. During these moments of heart twisting, I'll end them with a laugh. How can I have played myself a fool with this silly game you played? What was it that made me do it? I guess I'll never really know. but FUCK! There was something about you, something about us. We pressed so well against each other. Everything felt natural, comfortable, but exotic. Your smell. The way your head lifted as you moaned with pleasure. Kissing your neck and down your chest leaving you breathless. The simple way you would rest your hand on my chest. The words you would whisper in my ear…

I've created a simple MIDP1.0 J2ME app for testing the HttpConnection.
It fetches a web page, and displays its content.
This midlet worked on my Nokia 6021, but now something goes wrong.
Now it cannot connect to web servers anymore, EXCEPT the wap proxy server.
I think this midlet should work if I could make the HttpConnection to use this HTTP proxy server, but I cannot do it. I modified this midlet to display the proxy that the HttpConnection uses (System.getProperty("microedition.http_proxy")), but it displays nothing.
I cannot specify the proxy in the APN, because the APN has no proxy settings at all.
Any idea?

YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim left his first comment on the site for the first time in EIGHT YEARS. What gives?
You may recognize Karim as being the star of the very first video ever uploaded to YouTube. Turns out, Karim seems to be mad at the recent changes Google has made to the comments section in YouTube. In an effort to curb anonymity, Google has recently started too implement a new system that puts priority on showing relevant comments from the creator of the video, popular people, and your Google+ friends. Which means Google+ and your real name (via +) is required. Some people have said they won't get a Google+ account, and will stop commenting altogether. Google, for its part, was prompted to make the change in response to the extremely negative and offensive comments that can appear on the site, many coming from anonymous accounts. The logic here is that if you're using your real name, you'll be more inclined NOT to leave an offensive comment. Also, by requiring commenters to have a Google+ profile, it could help the network get some more users signed-up, though it doesn't mean they'll actually use it.
Karim made about $65 million when he and other co-founders sold YouTube to Google.

As the NFL regular season begins to wind down, it's making sure to keep fans interested with plenty of juicy clashes.
Despite there being three games left until the playoffs, only three teams have secured a place in the postseason, and just one of those teams has won its division. That means a lot of the remaining games have an added importance.
However, for the teams not vying for a postseason place, the end of the season can offer a time to look forward to next year. Maybe some players emerge, or the coach figures out a way to make everything click.
Here's a look at this week's schedule, followed by three games, for their own reasons, that should be must-see television.

San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Bronco
For the first time in what seems like forever, there's a great matchup on Thursday night that demands your attention, and not because you're a masochist.
The San Diego Chargers still have a terrible defense, while the Denver Broncos' remains average. Meanwhile, Football Outsiders ranks these teams as first and second in the league in offensive DVOA.
Suffice it to say that you should see a lot of points. With any luck, this game becomes a shootout, similar to Denver's 51-48 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers go toe to toe with one another and could combine for 800 yards passing.
If you need any more reasons, the Chargers are looking for a win to try to get back into the AFC Wild Card, while the Broncos will hope to maintain their one-game division lead over the Kansas City Chiefs.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played well recently. You can only wonder how many games the teams would've won this year if Greg Schiano wasn't Greg Schiano. There is the foundation for a successful franchise somewhere in Tampa.
The Bucs have a tough game with the San Francisco 49ers this week.
Should Greg Schiano coach the Buccaneers next season?
Neither team has a prolific offense, so this could be a defensive slugfest, much like you saw in San Francisco's win over the Seattle Seahawks. It wouldn't be pretty, but sometimes it's good to watch two teams trying to out-grit one another.
This game is also a great chance for either Colin Kaepernick or Mike Glennon to put on a show.
For Kaepernick, it's an opportunity to post the kind of huge numbers that have come few and far between this year. On the other side, Glennon can get a signature win, which will serve to build momentum going into next year.
Washington Redskins vs. Atlanta Falcons
This game is mouthwatering for the wrong reasons, really. It's not so much about the actual game on the field, rather than the one that's going on behind the scenes.
Will Mike Shanahan see out the rest of the season?
The Washington Redskins are reportedly trying to find a way to fire Mike Shanahan without having to buy out his contract, while Shanahan is countering by possibly starting Kirk Cousins ahead of Robert Griffin III in order to make the team fire him without cause.
Who could've expected a team owned by Daniel Snyder would be dysfunctional?
Against the Atlanta Falcons, you'd think the Redskins would be able to get the victory. Then again, this off-field drama could spill over on the field. And what if Cousins starts and plays really well? How would that effect RG3's confidence?
There are so many questions, and none of the answers favor Washington.

Westerlind joins Intel Capital from RockPort
Victor Westerlind has joined Intel Capital as part of its team investing in wearable technologies and startups.
Victor Westerlind has joined Intel Capital as part of its team investing in wearable technologies and startups.
A VCJ examination found that two leading Wall Street hadge funds increased their investment activity during the second and third quarters, even after the April swoon in the Nasdaq, while one has pulled back.
New Enterprise Associates said it kicked off of the second part of its mentorship program, In the Studio Part II. The two-week program for up to six design teams is now accepting applications for the session to be held November 10 to 21, 2014.
The growth equity portfolio at the Hawaii Employees' Retirement System is an eclectic mix of small-scale later stage funds and massive multi-billion capital pools with a broad, balanced approach. Results are reasonably good.
Norwest's Jeff Crowe talks about how the firm went large for its latest fund and plans for San Francisco.
Many bubble-year funds still struggle to turn the corner. This is the case at the Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii, where mixed results describe a portfolio of 23 funds with vintages of 1998, 1999 and 2000.
Investors are pouring money into enterprise companies, but valuations haven't reset and another a fall in public SaaS stocks could be coming
The Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii has been a tepid investor in venture capital, affiliate magazine Venture Capital Journal reports.
Crowdfunding has been assumed to be a valuable channel for sourcing venture capital deals. Now, here is the proof.
Silicon Valley venture capitalists continued their exuberant ways in the second quarter with up rounds and deal valuations rising at record rates, according to a Fenwick & West survey.
Angel deal sizes continued to climb in the first quarter with the enthusiasm for Internet startups a driving factor.
Venture distributions have been up nicely for the past couple of years, with returns coming not just to contemporary funds but to those from bubble-era vintages that often badly need them.
Still, progress is slow in many cases.
The Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System favored late-stage managers, dodged brand name funds, pledged money inconsistently and is struggling with the returns on its venture investments, affillate magazine Venture Capital Journal reports.
Scottrade said it will help sponsor startups at the Scivantage FinTech Incubator Program with financial backing, guidance and insight. No details were provided.
For months, years, in fact, Silicon Valley has appeared to be in a tech bubble. So are Silicon Valley venture capitalists investing like it is 1999? The answer is a rather clear "yes."
The Public Employees' Retirement System of Nevada has stepped up its venture capital investing over the past couple of years with commitments to Battery Ventures, Canaan Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures.
Venture investing set a 13-year record in the second quarter, rising to $13 billion, the highest level since the first quarter of 2001.
Venture distributions to LPs ended 2013 on a solid note by rising modestly in the fourth quarter and coming close to topping 2012's strong performance.

Deerhoof Comes Home to the Great American Music Hall
After 16 years together, local indie band Deerhoof decided to break out of their comfort zone and make their 10th album on the road, sometimes mixing tracks through the stereo in a rented tour minivan with no engineers or outside input. Then they released each track of the resulting Deerhoof vs. Evil to a different international website in the weeks leading up to the album's Jan. 25 release date. The explosive first track, "Qui Dorm, Només Somia," is sung entirely in Catalan, an even more surprising touch when you consider the already heavy Japanese accent of lead singer Satomi Matsuzaki. The album progresses neatly through colorful songs packed with instrumentation and trippy, often nonsensical lyrics. But when Matsuzaki sings, "Me to the rescue, hello, hello, you lucky so-and-so," during "Super Duper Rescue Heads!" the proverbial light goes on, and, no matter how bizarre, you just get it.
Deerhoof plays Friday, Jan. 28 at the Great American Music Hall

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Who's watching the watchers? Experts expose wide spying abilities of law enforcement hackers
LONDON - Law enforcement agencies across the globe are taking a page out of the hacker's handbook, using targets' own phones and computers to spy on them with methods traditionally associated with cybercriminals, two computer security groups said Tuesday.
Drawing on a cache of leaked documents and months of forensic work, two reports about the private Italian firm Hacking Team expose a global network of malicious software implants operated by police and spy agencies in dozens of countries.
"This in many ways is the police surveillance of the now and the future," said Morgan Marquis-Boire, a security researcher with Citizen Lab and a lead author of one of the reports. "What we need to actually decide how we're comfortable with it being used and under what circumstances."
Citizen Lab's work, paired with a report published simultaneously by Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab, helps complete the picture of state-sanctioned surveillance sketched by Edward Snowden's sensational revelations about the National Security Agency and its international allies.
While many of Snowden's revelations dealt with the mass monitoring of communication as it flows across the globe, Hacking Team brags about more aggressive forms of monitoring that let authorities turn people's phones and laptops into eavesdropping tools.
Hacking Team's chief spokesman, Eric Rabe, dismissed the reports as consisting of a lot of old news. Hacking Team's ability to break into iPhones and BlackBerrys is "well known in the security industry," he said in an email.
"We believe the software we provide is essential for law enforcement and for the safety of all in an age when terrorists, drug dealers and sex traffickers and other criminals routinely use the Internet and mobile communications to carry out their crimes," he said.
Rabe invoked Hacking Team's customer policy, which says the company sells only to governments which it screens for human rights concerns. A company-established panel — whose membership Rabe declined to specify — checks out every potential client. While Hacking Team realizes that its software can be abused, the policy says the company takes "a number of precautions to limit the potential for that abuse."
Those precautions haven't prevented copies of Hacking Team's malicious software from being used to target more than 30 activists and journalists, according to a tally maintained by Citizen Lab, a research group based at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs.
Citizen Lab's report provided an unusual level of insight into how the malware operates, showing how devices can be compromised through booby-trapped emails or infected USB sticks, or even pushed onto handsets by a pliant telephone company.
Screenshots released by Citizen Lab appear to show a control panel complete with on-off switches for recording text messages, calls, keystrokes and visited websites. Other options open to Hacking Team's customers include the ability to force infected phones to take regular pictures or video and to monitor the position of an infected handset via Google Maps, effectively turning a target's phone into both a hidden camera and a tracking device.
Hacking Team built its programs for stealth. The spy software implanted on iPhones is calibrated to avoid draining the phone's battery, both Citizen Lab and Kaspersky said. On BlackBerrys, it can be programmed to ship stolen data via Wi-Fi to avoid jacking up the phone bill. The spyware even comes with a special "crisis" mode that will cause it to self-destruct if it's in danger of being detected.
"The victim's got almost no chances of figuring out that their iPhone is infected," said Kaspersky malware expert Sergey Golovanov, who investigated the rogue program for his firm.
Hacking Team does not say who its customers are, but researchers can draw inferences from the network of servers tasked with controlling its spyware.
In its report, Kaspersky says its scans uncovered 326 Hacking Team command servers based in more than 40 countries, including 64 servers in the United States, 49 in Kazakhstan and 35 in Ecuador. Other countries hosting multiple servers include the United Kingdom, Canada and China.
Kaspersky's report cautions that hosting a Hacking Team command server doesn't necessarily mean officials in that country are using its software, although it said that would be logical due to the complications of controlling spyware from another nation's territory.
Hints about who is using these programs can also be found by studying how victims got infected.
Citizen Lab found Hacking Team software hiding in an Android phone application ostensibly designed to provide Arabic-language news from Saudi Arabia's Qatif region, the scene of protests in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions. Saudi officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Steven Bellovin, a Columbia University academic who has written about hacking in the law enforcement context, described the reports' findings as credible. In an email exchange, he said there was nothing inherently wrong about police using malware to infect their targets, noting that both police and criminals do carry guns.
"The hacking tools fall into the same category. They're dual use," he said.
But Bellovin said there need to be strict rules - and open debate - about the law enforcement uses of malicious software before government-commissioned viruses are unleashed on the Internet.
"None of that seems to be present here," he said.

Very convenient for restaurants and sightseeing major locations
Quality of furnishings and size of room too small.
Richard from La Porte, TX

February 5, 2012
Excellent water pressure
Small room, no place for luggage, no view, too expensive for that room, poor a/c maintenance
First impression of the hotel was quaint. Upon entering the room, however, cramped is more descriptive. There was only about 12 inches of walking space between the bed and the wall. We had to put our luggage on the floor as there were no other provisions for them. The bathroom is small but efficient but no soap is provided. Water pressure and hot water were excellent. The air conditioner blew black particles of something onto the bed. There were small ants in the room. The walls are paper thin and every door seems to close with a slam. This hotel needs renovation. Fortunately, we only spent one night there. At home, this hotel would be a 1 star hotel and be worth about $25 a night. In other words, it is way over priced. ...
