|BCBS Live For The Memories
There's a freedom in fearlessness. In the careless feeling that can only occur when you remove uncertainty and fear. It's a freedom you see every day on little league fields and neighborhood pickup games. And it's a feedom we're going to celebrate. Because no matter what level of athlete you are - collegiate, professional, or otherwise - we could all use a little reminding of what it meant to play for the love of the game.

Political Directorate-General 3
Political Directorate-General 3 shapes relations with countries and regions in Asia/Pacific, Africa, Latin America, as well as the Middle East. These parts of the world include a range of very different states:
- key new players in the 21st century such as China, India, Brazil and South Africa which, due to their dynamic development, are becoming increasingly influential linchpins in international politics and without which the major global challenges of the 21st century cannot be resolved;
- numerous countries which are undergoing positive political and economic development;
- states which are at risk of being left behind by globalization;
- fragile states as well as actual or potential crisis regions.
These four continents thus present German foreign policy, as well as German business and society, with great opportunities as well as risks.
Focal areas
The Directorate-General's work thus focuses on the following areas:
- stepping up cooperation with key new players in all spheres and ensuring that they shoulder responsibility for resolving global challenges;
- supporting the efforts of countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East for sustainable development and expanding political, economic, academic, cultural and societal relations with them;
- helping to stabilize weak or even fragile states, and
- endeavouring to prevent the development of crises or, if necessary, helping to resolve them.
Germany does not act alone here but through the European Union, in cooperation with our transatlantic partners, within the framework of the appropriate multinational fora and in cooperation with civil society players. In turn, Germany is relying on stronger regional integration among partner countries (such as ASEAN, the African Union, MERCOSUR, the Arab League, etc.). Germany closely coordinates its policy on countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East with its EU partners, both by means of regular meetings in Brussels and among the embassies of the EU and its member states on the ground, and as a member state supports the European Union's relations with regional groups or individual countries.
Broad-based partnerships
The share in global GDP and world trade of countries with rapidly growing economies in the four regions in question will greatly increase in the coming decades. Their political clout and international responsibility will thus also increase. In order to take this into account, Germany is stepping up its diplomatic contacts via the Federal Foreign Office and our missions abroad and is developing strategic partnerships and dialogues at high and at the very highest level in which the whole range of political, economic and social issues are discussed.
In addition to bilateral and international political issues, the expansion of trade and investment, raw materials partnerships, the dismantling of non-tariff trade barriers and all other issues related to economic cooperation are discussed and solutions sought within this framework.
Germany is providing assistance within the scope of economic cooperation to many of those countries which still have to overcome obstacles to development.
The countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America are home to our planet's rainforest belt and an immense variety of species. Environmental protection, the efforts to combat climate change and the preservation of biodiversity thus play a vital role in our relations.
Especially in view of the many shortcomings which individual states within the remit of Directorate-General 3 still have in development in the areas of democracy and the rule of law, implementing the fundamental principles of a values-based German foreign policy is of special importance. The Directorate-General thus pays great attention to the following issues in its relations with these countries:
- strengthening of open, pluralistic and democratic structures;
- recognition and respect for human rights;
- development of a functioning state based on the rule of law, an independent judiciary;
- efficient governance.
Crisis and conflict management
Unfortunately, some of the countries in the regions which fall under the remit of Directorate-General 3 are still fragile and potential sources of internal and regional conflict. Together with other members of the international community, in particular our European partners and within the United Nations, Germany seeks to help stabilize these countries through crisis prevention, economic development, strengthened political structures, but if necessary also through crisis management, including peacemaking and peacekeeping measures. To this end, Germany is also keen for the crisis management capabilities of regional associations, for example the African Union and its regional organizations, to be improved. Combating terrorism and organized crime, in particular preventing the emergence of areas which are largely uncontrolled and lacking state structures, serves to protect the local population suffering as a result of this lawlessness as well as our own security interests.
The Directorate-General is headed by Clemens von Goetze. He is supported by four Regional Directors for Africa, Asia, Latin America as well as the Near and Middle East and the Maghreb, the Personal Representative of the Federal Foreign Minister for the Arab World and 14 divisions.

I learned a thing or two about the history of the Grand Valley last year. Lord knows all that good stuff didn't come from my toiling away at the history files at the Museum of Western Colorado or the Mesa County Library.
No, by golly, it came from you, the reader. The phone call, the emails and the letters are what I find to be real history, living history. If I get a call, I may not be in a place to write it down and as good as my memory seems to be at times, I can't remember all the juicy details and implore you to write your remembrances and get them to me. It's good stuff.
The progress and events of our little town that happened 100 years ago are pretty much written in stone. Once in a while I'll find something that a past historian had claimed as fact might not have been just so. Not that they made it up or bent history, but new facts and knowledge emerge all the time. New photographs, diaries and hand-me-down tales are discovered every day at the Loyd Files Library. Grandma's house gets cleaned out and the family is mindful enough not to through away the scripts and scraps of paper that the folks had so carefully squirreled away all these many years for some darn good reason. Thank goodness.
We lost good historians this past year - Dave Sundal and Kathy Jordan. Dave's memories of growing up in downtown Grand Junction left us with so many finite details of the past that we all mourn his irreplaceable lost. Kathy Jordan, aided by her loyal husband, Teddy, was a tireless researcher; her writings will endure.
Thanks to Garry Brewer who contributes a GJ history column on the last Friday of the month which appears in the Free Press' Grand Living Senior Magazine; he practically lives at the Museum. He's continually telling me, "Hey, come look at this!" His keen eye and ability to tie together people and events astounds me.
Steve and Denise Hight who put together the Arcadia Press book on Fruita in 2010 have become collectors of local memorabilia and history. Someday, they tell me, they will pass it on to the museums, and Debbie Brockett just authored a new book about the seamy side of the Western Slope. Her archiving skills have gone where no other has dared to go.
But you my dear readers have given me the history that can't be found anywhere else. Sonny Chiaro has entrusted me with a giant shoebox full of images that he has snapped over the years of many of the vanishing landmarks, some notorious and some, our familiar forgotten neighborhoods.
You Know You're From Grand Junction When. . . is a Facebook page on the internet that people from all over the country chime in on with a variety of subjects. You ought to go there if you can, it's a baby boomers wonderland of the things they've remembered from "old" Grand Junction.
Legends of the Grand Valley Sculpture Project is another bunch of dedicated, "history-minded" individuals that in 2012, celebrated the 50th anniversary of "Operation Foresight" with another legendary installment at Third and Main Street, accompanied by a comprehensive book and a DVD of historical film footage. All can be found in your local libraries and Grand Valley Books.
The Mesa County Historical Society, of which I am proudly president, and the Museum of Western Colorado offer a monthly Oral History Program. Last year we learned about such diverse subjects as The Stinking Desert, the Loma Community Quilts, the Uintah Indian Reservation and the School District 51 Teachers Strike of the 1970s, to mention a few. If you have never taken the time to join us, please do, it's free and open to the public. The program takes place at noon, the third Thursday of each month. You can brown bag it or just come; there are always cookies and coffee involved.
In 2013 look forward to talks about the Little Bookcliff Railway, the history of veterinarians in western Colorado, and this month, on Jan. 17 will be David Bailey talking about his Western Investigation Team. You can visit the museum's website at www.museumofwesternco.com or call me at 970-260-5226.
History keeps reminding of who we are and from whence we came. So many things in this old world are changing so fast and time clips along at such a pace that it freaks me out to think that the 1990s were 23 years ago! "Where does it go?," we all ask.
Don't wait another day to tell me your local history or share a photo. My address is 1406 Cedar Ave., 81501. You can always hand-write and mail me something. I prefer it that way.
Let's make some new discoveries in 2013. Let's dig up our past and tell our stories for our kids and grandkids; they sure as heck aren't writing it down anymore than we did.
Got a memory or picture to share? Call me at 970-260-5226, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) is a surgery to repair a narrowed section of the urethra. This is referred to as a stricture. The urethra is the tube through which urine passes from the bladder to the outside of the body.
Reasons for Procedure
Urethral stricture is due to scarring of the urethra. This scarring may be caused by infection or injury. DVIU cuts through the scar tissue and opens the urethra.
Urethral stricture can result in:
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Excessive bleeding
- Blood clots
- Infection
- Pain when urinating
- Damage to urethra
- Recurrent stricture
- Need for more procedures
- Penis pain
- Erectile dysfunction
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Bleeding disorders or taking medications that reduce blood clotting
- Obesity
- Smoking
Discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Conduct a physical exam and ask about your medical history
- Order imaging, blood, and urine tests
- Talk about the anesthesia being used and its potential risks
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to ten days before the procedure, including:
- Aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen
- Blood thinners, such as warfarin
- Anti-platelets, such as clopidogrel
In the days leading up to the procedure:
- Take a shower before the procedure as directed.
- Arrange for a ride home from the hospital.
- Do not take anything by mouth starting eight hours before your procedure. Ask the doctor how you should take your regular medications on the morning of your procedure.
General or spinal anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep or sedated through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
After you are asleep, a special tube called a cystoscope will be placed in your urethra to locate the stricture. Next, the doctor will place the DVIU scope into your urethra. A special tool will be used to cut away the scar tissue inside your urethra to make it wider. The doctor may remove the scar tissue by cutting or using a laser or heat source. After the tissue is removed, the doctor will examine the urethra and bladder area.
How Long Will It Take?
About 30 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You will be able to go home the same day in most cases.
Post-procedure Care
- You will be monitored while you recover from the anesthesia.
- The nurses will help you eat and move around again.
- You will be given pain medication.
- A catheter will be placed temporarily after the procedure. A catheter is a tube placed through the urethra to the bladder to empty it.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Take medications as directed for pain. You may feel pain for up to two weeks.
- Care for your catheter as directed. The catheter may need to remain in place from a few days to two weeks. Your doctor may ask you to insert a catheter a few times a week to keep the scar tissue from closing again.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects for two weeks.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Do not drive or have sex until your doctor says it is okay.
- Ask your doctor when you can return to work. You may be able to go back to work in a few days.
- Take a shower instead of a bath until the catheter is removed.
- Follow all your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Increasing pressure or pain
- Catheter does not drain properly
- Difficulty passing urine after catheter is taken out
- Changes in frequency or volume of urine
- Signs of infection, including fever or chills
- Excess blood in urine
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Despite the governor's plans not to address hydrofracking in his State of the State, a group of concerned citizens against the natural gas drilling process wants to make their message clear.
About 80 people left from Syracuse this morning to protest peacefully at the state Capitol.
The group is just one of many that plan to protest today. They say their goal is to protect New York's clean water resources, air quality, and property values.
"We're just going to be there to deliver a peaceful message. A positive message that we want the governor to ban fracking and really live up to his comments on climate change that he just recently made. He said that we need to avoid things like Hurricane Sandy and the best way to do that is move away from fossil fuels," said Ursula Rozum, Syracuse Peace Council.
Late last year, the DEC proposed new, revised hydrofracking regulations. The public comment period on those regulations is open for a few more days.

The Il Divo concert at the Mann Music Center last night was spectacular overall. Il Divo's voices, individually and in unison, are magnificent, and the four stars are quite entertaining in between musical offerings. However, the concert would have been far more enjoyable for my husband and me if the following hadn't occurred: 1) blinding strobe lights shining directly into our eyes intermittently; 2) overly loud orchestral accompaniment during a number of musical intervals, making it difficult to hear the singers as well as we would have liked; 3) over-amplification of the singers' voices at times. That being said, we don't regret attending the concert; we just think it could have been even more fabulous than it was. Detracting in any way from these 4 marvelous singers' performances is most unfortunate.
Incredible voices that combined give you a taste of heaven!

The best concert on the planet! I'd go see them everyday if I could!!!! IL DIVO IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!
[4 of 4 customers found this review helpful]
il divo helps keep my world uplifting and happy. as soon as i hear their voices. i feel good inside. i listen to their cds as often as i can. they have brought back the most important thing to me in music, their voices. i have not heard such wonderful sounds ever. god must have kissed their vocal cords as soon as the were born. if they are as true to a women , as they sing about . they must be gods. perhaps someday i will get to meet and listen to these platinum voices.

Try playing a blood dk if you think VR is OP.
Glyphed Victory Rush is healing for astronomical amounts. I'm getting 30K+ heals on my prot warrior, enabling me to pull 10-15+ mobs and easily end up with 100% health (focus down lowest health mob, victory rush, repeat). I ended up leveling to 85 without ever eating to restore health or having any kind of down time. In dungeons I've noticed one victory rush can take me from 60% health to nearly full (that's with 120K unbuffed).
I never thought I'd see the day that my prot warrior beats out my Prot Pally in terms of aoe grinding and self heals. An easy solution is to have a small internal CD for victory rush procs.
The irony here is victory rush is next to useless in raids, meaning that other tank self heals such as pallys (using their 3 holy power self heal on themselves) and dk's vastly outperform us in this area. If they could lower the base heal and perhaps enable it to proc outside of killing a mob (I don't consider only being able to use it.. talented for 2 points.. below 20%.. with a low proc rate... a very good solution either).
So in a way it's both OP and underpowered at the same time. Any other prot warriors have thoughts on this?
Try playing a blood dk if you think VR is OP.
How is it OP? You get 1 shot at it for each mob you land a killing blow on it. Most other tanks get to heal themselves semi-regularly. Word of CGlory, Imp LotP, Death Strike. Even in Heroics usually when I get the opportunity to use it, it's when I need it the least. Some mob has died, the damage pressure on me is now reduced, often I'm at 90% HP, and the victory rush is pretty much wasted. I think it's fine as is.
Kathy, I said, "I'm lost" though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
Read the post before you jump to conclusions. Victory rush certainly seems OP in terms of aoe grinding. I could pull as many as 15-20 mobs and end up wth full health (while mixing in some cd's). If I blew up one of the mobs before I hit 50% health I pretty much won. It seems broken to me to allow any class to do this.
And yes Victory Rush loses it's luster on boss fights, and small trash packs, which is precisely my point. You have an ablity that's OP in one place but almost comically bad where it really counts. If they lowered the amount it healed I'm hoping blizz would give us more chances to use it in progression content.
Kathy, I said, "I'm lost" though I knew she was sleeping

So its only broken in leveling? I don't see a problem in this.
You pretty much covered everything. It was made because warriors had huge amounts of downtime while leveling, in poor gear while most classes did not. The only thing it has a huge impact on is leveling. So yeah it's OP for leveling, but does it really matter how well a class can solo kill non elite mobs? Every class has a decent self heal now the only difference is theirs costs resources, ours doesn't. But it's not on demand, and like you said yourself, a prot paladin can use all their holy power for word of glory, which is actually very possible once they're at a high stack of vengeance and have a good threat lead. Impending Victory is pretty much useless.
It's a unique ability and as much as I'd love to see it changed to something with a CD, but on demand with a rage cost, it'd be too close to something like death strike and blizzard is trying to not homogenize abilities.
Really the only difference things like this makes is it makes it easier on healers during certain bosses or if a healer dies. I've done a bunch of heroics with different tanks and had the healer die, but a prot paladin was able to keep himself alive long enough for me to zerg the boss down, or I've had a warrior tank (where our healer also died), last for a bit but eventually died after his 3 minute cooldown self heal fell off. But if a tank dies because he has no self-healing, I don't think it's a game mechanic problem, it's most likely a healer or strategy problem. And I'm also not sure how much Blizzard cares about balancing heroics like that, because in most cases, in a raid, if there is no healer alive, no amount of self healing is gonna keep the tank alive (Unless they completely out gear the instance).
It only seems OP becuase most of us warriors leveled without it, it was only in patch 3.3 that it was trainable at low levels, at which point it was OP, i remember creating another warrior, getting her a Bloodied Arcanite Reaper with Crusader on it and her leveling pricess was pretty much Charge>victory rush, ad infinitum.
but then I recalled leveling my pally and thinking it was just as OP, and then leveling an Aff warlock, and again thinking this is OP, and then a feral druid and thinking "OP!" and a DK... So maybe their not OP, and we where just underpowered.
It's only come cata that i've bothered keybinding it.
paladins have holy word of glory at all times. far more "op" then VR. considering healers go oom about oever pull, and struggle for mana the last 30% of boss fights, i dont think its op at all..... its just a new style of wow
"Dear Santoro, Your wisdom has enlightened me. Thanks!"
If by some act of god you get a killing blow in a group / raid situation it heals for insane amounts... but like someone else mentioned... normally your full health when that happens, or nothing left to hit. Our reliable self healing in group situations is rather lackluster compared to other classes... sub 20% it's awsome, but you have to live that long.
I think I've used it once in a dungeon where it's helped out, and I look to use it as often as I can. In general if you're pulling the mobs properly you probably don't need the extra healing, and the only time you can really use it without feeling like the extra damage you take from the time you spend in Berserker stance is defeating most of the healing is right after a shockwave.
My fun strategy to solo elites has been to kill them with incidental damage while kiting and tanking regular mobs right next to them for the VR health.
Off topic, Holycrapiforgottobindheroicleaptoabuttonandhavente venuseditonceyetfail!
It's usable in def stance now buddy
Kathy, I said, "I'm lost" though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why

It IS really nice that levelling my arms warrior is no longer 10x more painful than levelling my affliction warlock. But they're basically trying to make it easier for anyone to level without spending all day eating or drinking.
I had 0 downtime grinding 70-80 on my prot warrior, unless I solo-ed a group quest. But off hand, the only group quest I remember was Ragemane and out of combat healing topped me off by the time I turned the quest in.
So far in Cata as a prot warrior grinding, I haven't had any downtime either. I take so little damage that I don't even bother with the heal half the time but just enjoy it for the free instant.
When I switched to leveling as Arms, I took a ton of damage and actually found the heal incredibly valuable. But as Arms I was still taking way too much damage to aoe grind and actually had to stop an heal up with a living seed for the first time all expansion when I exited a dungeon into the midst of 3 mobs.
I would say that victory rush is somewhat overpowered in 5 mans.
However it is extremely situational.
On bosses with adds, like 1st boss in Grim Batol and Commander Silverlane in Shadowfang Keep, a protwarrior can basically keep himself up if you got the victory rush glyph, and dps make sure the tank gets the killing blow on adds.
I have done a kill of the 1st boss in Grim Batol heroic where the healer died from blitz at 90%, and i proceeded to finish the fight with selfhealing only.
I forsee that the victory rush glyph will hit a big nerf when a raidfight with plenty of adds that allow victory rush comes along. It simply trivializes certain fights.
Ye, i dont proofread. 1 point per typo you can spot
For one. I dont understand how a nerf solves this Other than making it less attractive over all.
And two. I don't understand why people (you in this case) get defensive and post replys such as "read the post before you jump to conclusions" or "did you even read the op before you posted?" when in fact they did. Your original post just has conflicting arguments.
Blizzard obviously doesn't/isn't tuning anything for the leveling process. It's really not op when every other tank has abilities that can be used any time they get in a sticky spot that heal for greater amounts. The only difference is that VR doesn't have a real CD so we can chain it when we kill large amounts of mobs back to back.. But even still. We have to kill one mob to get it. Chances are, if you are chaining them together fast enough for it to seem OP, you're not in any real danger.
Every tank has self-healing, and it is factored into your survival. Bears heal themselves for 4% of their health every time they crit (and they have generous crit levels). DKs use heavy self-healing at will, resource-allowing (enough that Blizzard specifically said they were compensating on other damage reduction elements). Protadins can use Word of Glory (which cannot be wasted, overheal creates a bubble) on their Holy Power built up.
Yay for everyone getting fun moves.
The (Old) Book on Death Knight Tanking
The New Testament on Death Knight Tanking
except warriors is the most situational, you either get it after you land the killing blow (fat chance against 17 dps) or if you're spec'd and the boss is below 20%

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: Due to the changing competitive landscape, we've lowered the Tab's overall score to 6. Check out CNET Tablet page for our latest tablet reviews.
Since the arrival of the Apple iPad in April 2010, we've seen a handful of competitors step up with inexpensive tablet alternatives in all shapes and sizes. With the Galaxy Tab, Samsung has created a true peer of the iPad--an uncompromising product that stakes out new territory in terms of both design and features.
Unlike the 9.7-inch iPad and its Apple iOS software, the Tab has a screen that measures 7 inches diagonally and it runs Google's Android 2.2 operating system. Verizon's version of the Tab sells for $599 with a two-year contract and your choice of monthly data plans. Data plans come in two flavors: a $20 plan with a 1GB cap, and a $35 plan with a 3GB cap. T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T all have similar versions of the Tab, though pricing and plan options vary.
Tablets are only as good as their screens, and the Tab's screen is a glossy beauty with the strength of a beast, thanks to a protective layer of Corning Gorilla glass. The LCD underneath it is a crisp 1,024x600-pixel resolution, which is on par with the iPad, but since the screen is about half the size, the pixel density is much tighter. The screen uses a capacitive, multitouch technology that can match the iPad in both response time and usefulness. Not once did we catch ourselves cursing at it--at least, not in the same threatening tone as we used with the Dell Streak or the Archos 7 Home Tablet .
Above the screen you have a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, perfect for self-portrait photos or video chat (though no video chat software comes preinstalled). Across the bottom you have the typical Android-style buttons for menu, home, back, and search. There's a standard headphone jack on the top, volume and power buttons on the side, along with a microSD card slot. For this model from Verizon, a 16GB card came installed.
Samsung's dock connector and a pair of built-in speakers are located on the bottom edge. The dock connector works with the included USB adapter and power brick, but can also be used for accessories, such as a keyboard dock or video output adapter.
On the back of the Tab you'll see a textured, glossy black plastic back and a more impressive 3-megapixel camera with an integrated flash. The camera can capture video at a maximum resolution of 720x480 pixels at 30 frames per second.
Overall, the Tab, at 7.5 inches tall by 4.7 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick, has a solid, paperback book feel that can be comfortably grasped in one hand. Unlike the Apple iPad, we never felt that we needed to set the Tab on our lap or cross our legs just to use it comfortably. For better or worse, it operates and behaves just like a giant Android smartphone, requiring little-to-no learning curve to navigate menus, type e-mails, or browse the Web.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of what the Tab has to offer, let's state for the record that the two best features of the Tab are the least complicated to understand. First off, you have the size--which is smaller, lighter, and more convenient than the iPad. Second, there's the full, undiluted Android 2.2 experience, complete with third-party apps, and the official Android Market for all the latest and greatest apps. We've seen other Android tablets this same size, but none running Android 2.2 with Market support. Similarly, we've seen tablets like the Dell Streak that offer the Android Market, but the size is cramped and the OS isn't yet up to 2.2. Currently, only the Galaxy Tab hits this "just right" Goldilocks zone among Android tablets--and that's what makes it exciting.
When you unlock the Tab's touch screen, you'll find a familiar home screen with a floating Google search bar, dock icons for e-mail, Web browser, and a drawer for apps. Hold the Tab in either portrait or landscape view and the built-in accelerometer sensor will reorient the screen automatically. By default, the Tab includes five main home screens, which you can jump among by flicking left or right. Beyond the core apps in the dock (mail, Web, drawer), the home screens come with preinstalled apps for Messaging (SMS/MMS), YouTube, and Verizon's VCast Music service, Navigation service, and VCast App store. Other preinstalled apps unique to the Verizon model include games, such as N.O.V.A. and Let's Golf, a 3G Mobile Hotspot tethering app, and a link for downloading the Blockbuster video streaming app.
You have to dig a little deeper to appreciate the work Samsung did to differentiate the Tab experience from its line of premium Android smartphones. Spend some time in the app drawer, and you'll find that seemingly benign apps like Contacts, Calendar, and Memo have all been optimized by Samsung for the larger screen, using split-screen views and nested tabs to take advantage of the added screen real estate.

After Copenhagen: How Can We Move Forward?
Page 2
These questions are not easy. They are further confused by the matter of domestic vs. international obligation. Should the United States—which tops the charts in measures of capacity, responsibility, and per capita emissions—be able to do its fair share within its own borders? Or does it have obligations to more vulnerable countries around the world?
Then there's the problem of loopholes. These are critical, because the United States and other wealthy countries have built plenty of them into their emissions reductions projections. The critical loopholes are surplus allowed emissions (so-called "hot air" from the collapse of the Soviet economy in 1990), forestry and agricultural credits (calculated from bogus baselines), and of course "non-additional offsets" (which represent reductions that would have happened anyway). If they're allowed to stand, then the wealthy countries will have to do almost nothing at all.
The bottom line is that the fundamental impasse over North-South "burden sharing"—who does what, when, and where, and, most importantly, who pays—is still unresolved. The crux of the problem is that we in the wealthy world are simply not carrying our own weight. Consider just a simple comparison between the United States and China. Since 1850, the United States has emitted some 350 gigatons of CO2, according to the US Department of Energy; during that same time, China has emitted about 125 gigatons. Now take the two countries' pledged emissions reductions by 2020. China is promising to cut 2.5 gigatons of CO2, or a 40 percent improvement in energy intensity; the United States, for its part, has committed to cutting only 1.25 gigatons. In short, our historical responsibility for climate change is greater, yet the Chinese are the ones undertaking the larger obligation.
The Blame Game
Since the summit didn't succeed, the inevitable question becomes, "Why not?"
One possible answer is that, as the street protesters had it, we need "system change not climate change": Our governments, in thrall to corporate interests, are incapable of organizing a decisive response to the climate crisis. Another explanation is that the United States was willing to undermine a multilateral agreement with the cynical goal of avoiding real emissions commitments while, if possible, looking good. A third possibility is that the Obama administration, desperate to break Senate Republicans' hold on climate policy, was willing to take any deal, no matter how weak, as a way to "unlock" the Congressional stalemate. Jamie Henn of 350.org captured this point of view when he quipped to me, "This isn't a negotiation; it's a hostage crisis."
Alternatively, Copenhagen's failure may have been China's fault. This explanation, alas, has become quite popular. It demands discussion, beginning with a widely read, and rather fantastically misleading article titled "How Do I Know China Wrecked the Copenhagen Deal? I Was in the Room," by Mark Lynas, a reporter-activist who was part of the Maldives' negotiating team. Here's Lynas' key paragraph:
To those who would blame Obama and rich countries in general, know this: it was China's representative who insisted that industrialized country targets, previously agreed as an 80 precent cut by 2050, be taken out of the deal. "Why can't we even mention our own targets?" demanded a furious Angela Merkel. Australia's prime minister, Kevin Rudd, was annoyed enough to bang his microphone. Brazil's representative too pointed out the illogicality of China's position. Why should rich countries not announce even this unilateral cut? The Chinese delegate said no, and I watched, aghast, as Merkel threw up her hands in despair and conceded the point. Now we know why—because China bet, correctly, that Obama would get the blame for the Copenhagen accord's lack of ambition.
It's easy to see why Lynas's fly-on-the-wall account is so compelling, particularly to Westerners primed to see China as an implacable mercantilist threat to their preferred style of capitalism. Certainly Lynas's conclusions are much in line with the North's strategy of hiding behind the emerging economies. But caution is in order here. It's important to go to the core of China's inflexibility, which, as Lynas subsequently put it, is that "Copenhagen has opened up a chasm between sustainability and equity." How so? Because, although "NGOs that ideologically support equity defend the right of developing countries to increase their emissions for two to three more decades at least," in fact, "there is no room for expansion by anyone."
This, alas, is almost true. The central fact of our carbon-constrained future is that China—along with India and South Africa, Brazil and Mexico, and indeed the entire "emerging" world—stands at the edge of an impossible future. These countries are expected to constrain their carbon emissions while at the same time (here's the punch line) pulling hundreds of millions of their citizens out of poverty. Yet the only model of modern prosperity that they have to work with is one based on huge per capita emissions. No wonder they balk at demands from the North.
In order to halt catastrophic climate change, the major emitters must act decisively. All of them, at once. But this will only be fair, and indeed it can only happen, if the wealthiest among us pay for most of the action. That, however, is politically impossible (see: U.S. Senate). And it's impossible, in part, because the debate about "fair burden sharing" that has raged among climate negotiators during the last few years has not reached the public consciousness. We do not know our duties. The Northern climate movement has quite failed to explain the structure of the global problem to its home constituencies. The term "climate justice" might be well understood by green NGO-istas and, say, Bolivian president Evo Morales, but that doesn't mean that most people get it.
A Crisis of Development
What exactly is this "global problem"? First, that we've reached the limits to growth, and done so in a world that's bitterly divided between haves and have-nots. Second, that despite decades of warning, the wealthy nations have neglected to demonstrate that low-carbon development is possible. Third, that the industrialized countries have stonewalled, rejecting the demand for meaningful reduction commitments. And finally, that China—which, despite its faults, has lifted hundreds of millions of people from poverty—has emerged as the chief voice of a bloc that refuses to choose between developmental justice and climate stabilization.
The situation is easy enough to visualize. Consider the "G8 style" emissions pathway that provoked China's backroom confrontation with the North. The details of this pathway are that: 1) global emissions peak soon (about 2020) and decline by 2050 to 50 percent below 1990 levels; and 2) Northern emissions simultaneously decline to at least 80 percent below 1990 levels. Now ask yourself—why might China's rejection of such an offer be reasonable? The answer lies in arithmetic: The remaining global emissions budget is so small that, despite a relatively ambitious program of Northern emission reductions, Southern emissions must still peak soon after global emissions, and then drop almost as rapidly. Further, they must do so while the people of the South are still struggling to escape poverty, and more generally to invent new, dignified, and sustainable models of life. The climate crisis is, in other words, a crisis of development.
I want to be very clear here: The problem is not that poverty alleviation or sustainable development are impossible in a carbon-constrained world. The problem is that they have not been pioneered, that the only proven routes up from poverty still involve an expanded use of energy and seemingly inevitable increase in fossil-fuel use. Which is why it's almost impossible for the South to imagine an equitable future in which its emissions precipitously decline. The South is concerned that an inequitable climate regime will force a choice between developmental justice and climate protection. And justly so.
This brings us back to China, which despite its wealthy enclaves is a deeply impoverished country. The targets that the Chinese insisted on expunging from the Copenhagen Accord have developmental implications. The South in general has made it quite clear that it will not allow itself to be trapped into sacrificing development for climate protection. More specifically, the Chinese have repeatedly insisted that the North accept an aggregate reduction target that is at the "upper end" of the 25 percent to 40 percent range (from the 1990 baseline) by 2020. Yet the North was attempting to enshrine a global emissions reduction pathway without making any such short-term commitment. Given the North's refusal to accept stringent targets, what (other than explaining themselves coherently) should the Chinese have done differently? The answer is not obvious.
James Hansen: Good Riddance, Copenhagen. Time for Better Ideas
The world's leading climate scientist explains how Copenhagen's failure gives us a chance to get it right.
The wheel is still in spin. As Copenhagen passes into history, the politics of climate obligation may well shift in significant ways. For one thing, although the rich countries may have succeeded in sidelining the Kyoto Protocol (we don't know yet) they did not manage to remove the presumption that it's still their move. Nor, despite Copenhagen's adoption of a pledge-based system, was the momentum of the UN negotiations broken. Copenhagen reaffirmed the need to devise a formal global accord that's fair, stringent, and capacious enough to contain both the United States and China—while stabilizing Earth's climate system.
To get there will require admitting a few difficult truths. Like the fact that the United States did a great deal to poison the Copenhagen waters and that, going forward, it may do even more. And that there will be no breakthrough until the wealthy countries pursue stringent domestic reductions, and help to underwrite the larger transition as well. The fact that the South's biggest emitters have, to a small extent, stepped outside the G77's overall ranks does nothing to change this underlying reality. The new game is one in which the players as well as the rules belong to a still-emerging world. China's end-game posture makes this clear enough.
The toughest admission will be that of national obligation, of duty. If we in civil society are to do better than our putative leaders, we must escape the "dysfunctional system" frame that spreads the blame around so thinly. More precisely, we're going to have to actually work out a coherent way of assigning responsibility for the fundamental deadlock in the international climate negotiations. This gives us a clear mandate: We must fight for a framework within which all countries, but first of all the wealthy ones, make the commitments demanded by the science, by their own record of emissions, and by their fiscal capacity to act. If we're to assign responsibility, we must also assume it.
Copenhagen, for all its disappointments, marked a turn. The need for an emergency mobilization is obvious, and with it a set of challenges that can no longer be denied. These will get clearer in the years ahead, but the essential situation is before us: With the atmosphere's ability to absorb carbon critically limited, we face the greatest resource-sharing problem of all time. For all its complexity, the core of this problem can be stated simply enough: What kind of a climate transition would be fair enough to actually work?
The climate problem is and remains a justice problem. It's more than this, of course, but justice is nonetheless the key. If we fail to solve it in time, it will be in large part because we refused to see it as such.

Audi to spin new Q1 crossover off A1 platform
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Jan 18th, 2012 at 4:40PM
Good things come in small packages. Or smaller packages, anyway, as Audi has been discovering with its SUV range. What started with the mammoth Q7 has since grown – or shrank – to include the smaller Q5 and the even smaller Q3, which was just confirmed for the North American market. Keen to capitalize on a positive trend, Audi has been rumored to be considering adding a Q1 to its line-up, details of which are now emerging. The last time we checked, Audi wasn't sure if it would base a potential Q1 off the A1, upcoming A2 or next-generation A3 platform. According to reports, the... Read More

Dying Hard: Matt Revists DIE HARD
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 314 days ago
[With A Good Day to Die Hard set to open this Thursday, we'll be taking a look back at the first four Die Hard movies. These reviews will contain spoilers since the movies have been out for years.]
When I hear the words "best action movie", I immediately think of Die Hard. No other film even comes close. It is pure action removed from sci-fi or any other genre. Even though there were plenty of blockbuster action movies in the 1980s, Die Hard is unique in how it constantly puts its hero at a massive disadvantage. To the extent that a blockbuster will allow, John McClane (Bruce Willis) is the everyman. Schwarzenegger and Stallone were the physically imposing heroes, but Willis brought a scrappy quality to McClane even though the character's actions verged on superhuman. Although he's very hard to kill, McClane is both the reluctant hero and the ideal 1980s American hero. From its unforgettable protagonist, Die Hard took on an identity that made it distinct and enduring.

NEW YORK -- With the holiday season underway, State Police continue their crack down on drinking and driving. From now until January, drivers can expect to see increased police presence on the roads, with DWI checkpoints scattered throughout the region. Despite a recent decline in alcohol related motor vehicle crashes statewide, police say they see a spike in alcohol related crashes this time of year, especially with the snowy weather.
"We want to make sure that everyone has a safe and happy holiday season, and that's why you'll see us in force out there, working throughout the holiday 24/7, to keep the roadways as safe as possible," said Trooper Michael Swarthout, NYSP Traffic Safety Officer.
Last year, more than 8,000 crashes statewide were alcohol-related.
