Saturday 20 Dec 2014
By Laurie Rojas. Web onlyPublished online: 01 July 2014
Brazilian authorities discovered 20 contemporary works of art hidden in a shipping container coming from Florida, the Associated Press reports. The works, valued at $4.5m, were hidden among the belongings of a 75-year-old Brazilian woman and authorities suspect a company used her move to evade taxes. The Brazilian Ministry of Finance, Guido Mantega, said the art is believed to have been acquired at auctions abroad.
Works by contemporary artists such as the Brazilian Beatriz Milhazes and the twin graffiti artists known as Os Gêmeos (Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo) were found among the stash. A sculpture by Sérgio de Camargo valued at $900,000, was found in a second container, according to the Brazilian federal agency. The authorities are also investigating whether the alleged smuggling is part of a money laundering scheme, said Ricardo Lomba, the chief inspector of finance for Rio de Janeiro, on Globo TV. Art can enter the country without being taxed as long as it is declared as baggage, but in this case the owners apparently tried to hide thier and the source of the money used to buy the works. If the owners do not come forward and explain how the works were acquired, they will become part of the national art collection. In the meantime, the works have been transferred to the National Museum of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro where they will remain in storage.

GOVERNOR PATRICK PRESENTS 22nd ANNUAL "FIREFIGHTER OF THE YEAR" AWARDS
Governor Patrick is joined by Secretary of Public Safety and Security Mary Elizabeth Heffernan at the 22nd annual "Firefighter of the Year" Awards ceremony.
WORCESTER – Wednesday, November 30, 2011 – Governor Deval Patrick today joined Public Safety Secretary Mary Elizabeth Heffernan and State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan to honor firefighters from 32 Massachusetts communities for heroic acts of bravery during the 22nd annual "Firefighter of the Year" Awards ceremony. The ceremony was held at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester.
"On behalf of the Commonwealth, I want to thank our firefighters and their families for their sacrifices and support," said Governor Patrick. "These individuals deserve our recognition every day for their leadership, bravery, courage and selflessness in the face of danger."
"We value the hard work of all firefighters who serve our Commonwealth," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "Today's award ceremony is an opportunity to honor the heroic men and women who go above and beyond the call of duty to protect our communities."
"It is important that the stories of the firefighters being honored here are told because their acts of bravery rise above the everyday heroics of the firefighting profession," said Secretary Heffernan.
Governor Patrick and Secretary Heffernan presented 46 awards: the Norman Knight Award for Excellence in Community Service, which was awarded to a Bourne firefighter; 19 Individual Awards for Meritorious Conduct to firefighters from Braintree, Brockton, Wareham, Newton, Williamstown, Worcester and Watertown; six Group Awards for Meritorious Conduct to teams of firefighters from Brookline, Lynn, Middleton, Northbridge, Somerville and Stow; two Excellence in Leadership Awards to groups of firefighters from Norfolk and Saugus; 13 Medals of Valor to individual firefighters from Lowell, Somerville, West Bridgewater, Lynn and Middleton; and five Medals of Honor to individual firefighters from Rehoboth, Wareham, Salisbury and Pittsfield.
State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan presented 12 Fire Marshal's Awards: one was awarded to V. Carlisle Smith, who was a member of the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations for over 55 years; nine were presented to tornado response teams from Agawam, Brimfield, Monson, Southbridge, Springfield, Sturbridge, Westfield, West Springfield and Wilbraham; and two were awarded to tornado recovery community service teams from Norfolk and Chelmsford.
"This past year the Commonwealth experienced several extreme natural disasters," said Fire Marshal Coan. "Each and every time our firefighters heroically stepped to the plate to rescue and protect their neighbors often while their own homes and families were affected."

Why an Army: A Case for Field Artillery?
Since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Field Artillery branch,
more than any other branch in today's Army, has been asked to conduct in-lieu-of missions rather than its core fire support mission during
conduct of the war. The associated potential deterioration of core competencies could possibly have a major impact in future operations. Return to: CSL Issues Papers Page

Statement by Ambassador J. Enkhsaikhan,
Permanent Representative of Mongolia to the
United Nations on agenda item 5 entitled "Special economic,
humanitarian and disaster relief assistance"
at the substantive session of theEconomic and
Social Council,
New York, 21 July 2000
Since the previous speakers have already dwelt extensively on the content and merits of the Secretary General's report entitled "Strengthening of the coordination of emergency humanitarian assistance of the United Nations", I shall be brief. We believe that the report is well structured, well documented and quite concise. The Mongolian delegation fully supports the pertinent observations and practical recommendations mentioned therein. I would also like to thank the Emergency Relief Coordinator for her contribution to the debate on this item. My delegation believes that the Council would be able to adopt agreed conclusions on this question on the basis of this discussion and the concrete input by delegations.
The growing number of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, drought as well as creeping desertification and ever expanding deforestation are affecting more and more people and causing huge damage. That is why the United Nations is increasingly engaged in the efforts to help countries cope with these disasters as well as taking, where possible, preventive measures.
Like many other natural disasters, the evolving disaster "dzud" or the extreme harsh winter in Mongolia is closely related to the climatic changes registered and occurring throughout the world. This "dzud" is recognized as a multiple one, i.e. a cumulative result of the drought of the summer of 1999 and the extremely harsh and cold winter that followed soon thereafter. As things stand today, there is a high probability of another drought this summer that could then be followed by another extremely harsh winter. With livestock that barely survived the "multiple dzud" and is already weak, the consequences could be catastrophic.
The heavy snow storms and the extreme cold winter of 1999/2000 in Mongolia have lead to the loss of not only 2,4 million heads of livestock (or over 7% of the nation's entire livestock population), but also of precious human lives. Besides the direct loss of livestock, the "dzud" had other enormous economic and social consequences, adding further difficulties to the efforts to reduce poverty that is already engulfing over one third of the country's population.
In a country where animal husbandry produces more than 30 percent of the GDP and on which every third person directly depends for food, clothing, transportation, heating material and purchasing power, this natural disaster has had severe impact on everyday lives of herders as well as reduced domestic production and export earnings. According to some experts, at least 3-4 years would be required to overcome the consequences of the disaster and even more time would be needed for replenishing lost livestock. This means that the living conditions of herders will remain very harsh for some time. The Government and the people of Mongolia are taking all possible measures to overcome these difficulties, as reflected in the OCHA's situation report No.9 on the Mongolian "multiple dzud". The Government is also addressing some of the medium and long-term problems arising from the devastating consequences of dzud. Overall, the preparedness and disaster response need to be further improved.
Bearing in mind Mongolia's weakness, extreme vulnerability, it is obvious that a well organized and coordinated international assistance is very important both for the immediate relief as well as to cope with the dzud`s long-term consequences. It is for this reason on 11 February of this year the Mongolian Government appealed for immediate international assistance, and by 1 June, the international community, including the UN agencies, have pledged a relief assistance to Mongolia in the total amount of $7.4 mln., mainly in the form of cash, food, clothes, medicine, fodder and other materials.
Taking this opportunity I would like to express on behalf of my Government and the people of Mongolia our sincere gratitude to those organizations, Governments and individuals that have rendered valuable assistance in time of need. My special thanks also goes to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) as well as the UN Disaster Management Team (UN/DMT) in Ulaanbaatar.
The past relief operation in Mongolia offers some lessons which should be taken into consideration in future work of such nature and dimension, if the assistance is to be most effective. Thus there is a need for quicker reaction to appeals, faster assessment of the disaster damage and of needs and faster implementation. Time should not be lost between the pledges of assistance and its practical delivery. The simple reason is that every hour or day lost is a lost opportunity to save lives or reduce the suffering. In this regard we fully support the suggestion made earlier in this debate to promote a culture of disaster prevention and reduce to the minimum the time for immediate relief activities.
The Mongolian case clearly shows, as it is rightly indicated in the Secretary Generals' report, that national authorities have primary responsibility for coordinating relief efforts following natural disaster. However, in many cases that is not enough. In many cases bilateral and multilateral support acquire special importance in alleviating the suffering and speedily overcoming the consequences. Because of geological structure of the land and weather-related factors, Mongolia is a disaster prone country. Therefore, my delegation would like to underline the importance of strengthening early warning systems and of having comprehensive vulnerability analysis in reducing the vulnerability of the country to natural disasters. In case of Mongolia, the geographical location with its severe climate, the vast territory and small population, poor infrastructure and communications are some of the factors affecting the vulnerability. In this case introduction and application of modern and advanced technology would make a huge difference.
In conclusion, I would like to express my delegation's hope that the United Nations and the Member States will continue their efforts to maximize the effectiveness of international responses to natural disasters and of international cooperation.
Thank you.

Our own @SWStylebook has been featured on the Daily Dot! And that's not the only thing brewing for that account… Stay tuned.
Category Archives: club jade
The Club Jade blog is ten years old today
Well, the blog is ten years old todayish. At least, the oldest post that's still up is dated June 21, 2004, so that's going to have to be good enough.
It's not a good post, but hey. Not much that's in June 2004 is all that great, because I've learned a thing or two over those ten years. Like how to write proper headlines! And posts with more than two sentences in them! (I took to Twitter so well because 'quip' is my most natural length, I think.)
I should note that Club Jade itself, which formed off RASS in 1995, will be celebrating our 20th anniversary next year. And we've had a website almost that long – I know I remember discovering it before I was a part of the group, in 1996. (Back when our fanfic was the hot thing.)
One of our founders, JeffP, handed the regular duties of running the site off to me about 1998, not long after I shut down my first site. Sometime around 2002 or 2003 I started thinking about adding a blog to it.
It was basically meant to be a quick way to keep other Jaders up to date. It ended up… This. I never thought it would get much traction beyond a handful of people, any more than I thought we'd be seeing more movies after 2005. We may not be the biggest fan site, we will almost certainly never have a podcast, we might not even survive the sequel trilogy, as so many '90s fansites broke against the bows of the prequels. But for now, it's still fun for me. I love doing the breaking news, as relentless as the rumor mill may be at times. I love the chaos and uncertainty of this era so far.
So, I want to say thanks to Club Jade, for letting me run this thing under our name, and all our readers for being generally awesome, and the other sites that link us and basically blah blah sincerity cakes.
And to wrap things up, here's a look at a few older versions of the site, courtesy the Wayback Machine.
Sitting out April Fools
Last year we put Star Wars in the Disney Vault, in 2012 we shared some Celebration VI programming, 2011 brought Ewok recipes, 2010 was the Jar Jar mysteries and in 2009 we debuted a Laurel K. Hamilton Star Wars book.
This year? We got nothing.
Really.After doing this for all these years, I can't help but feel like we've come to the end of the line with April Fools' Day, at least for the moment. It's not that I hate the pranks, it's just that in the current situation of Star Wars and fandom, with this lull of news and rampant uncertainty, when we get ridiculous rumors on the regular, it would be more cruel than ever to come up with something fake regarding the Expanded Universe or Episode VII.
The best pranks are just a tiny bit believable (though I'm still shocked that anyone took that LKH one seriously) and fandom is in such a flux state right now that pretty much anything we came up with is likely to be believed – I've seen people do it with our previous pranks, no matter how ridiculously obvious they may be.
And yeah, there's still plenty we could do, things in the vein of the Ewok recipes, other fandoms, rededicate ourselves as Club Fett etc. – but the sad truth is this has been kind of a shitty year thus far, and we're just not feeling up to it.
I can't say we'll never do an April Fools prank again – the way these things go, I'll have a great idea for one next week – but this year? No foolin'. Sorry.
I'll be back later with a roundup from the rest of the fandom, but so far things seem pretty restrained. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments.
Our Tumblr has passed 1000 followers! Okay, it's not breaking news, and that isn't even considered a particularly big following for Tumblr, but it's a milestone nonetheless. (Today's theme: Obi-Wan and Anakin. Yesterday's was just Obi-Wan.)
Sorry about the mess
You may not have noticed, but we've been having some WordPress issues over the last few days that have caused vanishing posts and comments. The good news: We're working on fixing it, and taking it slow to make sure things are done properly.
For the time being, I've been posting Star Wars news and links to Tumblr (see the news tag) and Twitter.
You'll notice some other site changes as well, like the new template. All just a part of the troubleshooting process!
However, you'll note we're missing a good chunk of posts from January, February and March. (Considering we have nearly ten years of posts, two months worth isn't really that bad.) I do have copies, and those posts will be restored once I'm sure the database is sound. The bad news? Those of you who follow us via the RSS feeds (Feedly, Livejournal, etc.) will likely be seeing duplicates of those post appear at some point soon, and some links may be broken in the process.
In any case, thank you for your patience.
Paula is Her Universe's Fangirl of the Day!
Our own Paula has been highlighted by Her Universe for their Fangirl of the Day initiative!
Jadecon is on, we're busy
James, Paula and I are all in Columbus at Origins for Club Jade's annual JadeCon gathering, and blogging will be spotty for the rest of the week. Or at least until my laptop power cord arrives. (D'oh!) There will be tweeting, but that's about it unless something absolutely earth-shattering comes down the pipe. (Did I just guarantee that something absolutely earth-shattering will break? If so, you're welcome.) We'll catch up on Monday. Mondayish.
A new FAQ, and the skinny on our comment policy
If you'll excuse a bit of a housekeeping post this morning, I just want to point out that we have a new site FAQ. Some of the content is from our old, desperately outdated FAQ, but for the most part it's brand new and completely revised.
It explains our policy on Episode VII rumors, where we get book release dates, that whole pineapple thing, and perhaps most relevantly, our comment policy.
Congratulations to Dunc – Her Universe Fangirl of the Day!
Since we know that this embarrasses her beyond belief, I'm going to jump on here to say congratulations to Club Jade's own Dunc for being selected as a Her Universe Fangirl of the Day!
My favorite part of the write-up:
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
"In space, no one can hear you LOL."
Club Jade knows who has made this site great, and that's Dunc. Thanks for all you do setting the example for how women can navigate fandom with fun and class (and snark).
Don't forget to check out the other Fangirls: Grace, a Star Wars and Doctor Who fan and blogger, who is one of the founders of the Lakehouse Forums, was the first Fangirl of the Day.
And leading into the Fangirl of the Day posts have been some introductions of the contributing team: Lillian Skye, Erin Kelahan, Victoria Schmidt, Amy Ratcliffe, and Tricia Barr.
Grace and Lillian might be familiar faces to Her Universe fans on our blog, since they were in the HU fan photoshoot at Celebration last year. Keep watching the Fangirl of the Day blog for more stories from the fandom community!
Club Jade's stats were growing throughout 2012
With things being so busy lately, I admit I've been dragging my feet on doing this post. However, the news is good. No, we didn't have any overwhelming Vin Diesel incidents, but the numbers came out comparable to 2011 – 459,317 pageviews and 299,400 visits. It's slightly less, but if you discount the extra boost that Vin's Redditing gave us, it still shows real growth. Our daily average is 1258 pageviews and 820 visits a day.
Our biggest day was October 31, the day after the Disney sale was announced, with 3961 pageviews and 2232 visits.
Below the cut are our most-visited posts, our biggest referrals, and the top commenters of 2012.

What a broken taillight says about youon August 8, 2013 @ 1:05 pm (Updated: 2:03 pm - 8/8/13 )
On a ride along with a Lakewood police officer for Evening Magazine, John Curley asked why - at 1 a.m. - the cop was going to pull over an otherwise seemingly innocuous car.
The taillight was out.
"And he said, often when a car is neglected, the general service of the car, it is a sign that there are other problems with the driver," said KIRO Radio host John Curley.
The cop told John he suspected the driver had no insurance. Maybe a bench warrant had been issued for him. He might have some outstanding parking tickets.
So the officer makes the stop, gets out of the car, and spends about two or three minutes chatting with the driver.
When he comes back to the car, he closes the door and says "bingo!" to John.
So before you go driving around with a broken taillight, John and co-host Tom Tangney have a reminder: The broken taillight is the sign of the demise of the individual.

Rubio returns; T-wolves win in OT
The white sleeve on Ricky Rubio's left knee served as a reminder of what he went through to get back on the court.
THE RIGHT MOVESSee how NBA dance teams get crowds all fired up.
While it served to protect his surgically repaired joint, it clearly does nothing to constrict the creativity and unbridled joy that made him one of the most exciting players in the league before he went down last season.
Nine long months later, it's as if Rubio never left.
Zipping passes between his legs to his Timberwolves teammates in a dazzling season debut, Rubio had nine assists and eight points in 18 minutes of Minnesota's 114-106 overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.
Andrei Kirilenko scored five of his 14 points in overtime while Rubio watched from the bench because of a minutes restriction.
''I didn't feel nothing in the knee,'' Rubio said. ''I feel great. ... I feel 100 percent. I have some issues in other parts now but it's just like a normal thing.''
Nikola Pekovic scored 21 points for the Timberwolves, who won their fourth straight game despite playing without All-Star Kevin Love because of an illness.
O.J. Mayo had 20 points, six assists and five rebounds and Shawn Marion had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Mavericks, who led by 13 early before Rubio came off the bench for the first time since he tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee in March.
FAN-TASTICCelebrities at playoff games like to see and be seen.
''He brings us all energy, man. No words can really describe it,'' forward Derrick Williams said. ''You've just got to feel it out there on the court.''
Alexey Shved had 18 points and six assists and the Wolves scored the first 10 points in overtime to send an amped crowd home happy.
Derek Fisher scored 20 points for the Mavericks, who turned the ball over 20 times. They led 98-96 after Fisher's four-point play with 2:50 to go.
Rubio fed Kirilenko for two free throws, then dived on the floor for a loose ball and later knocked down two free throws to tie the game at 100.
But he missed an open 3-pointer with a few seconds remaining that would have won the game in regulation.
No matter. Kirilenko hit two free throws, scored a three-point play and Pekovic finished off the Mavs with a three-point play of his own.
''It's amazing. They give me a great gift, that `W' in overtime,'' Rubio said. ''I think we're going to do big things with this team this year. Just showing how we played in the overtime ... It was amazing.''
Could it have gone any better?
See who's fighting hard for playoff position. Photos of the week.
''Yeah,'' he said. ''If I make that shot.''
More than 18,000 packed into Target Center in anticipation of Rubio's return and erupted at the mere sight of his face on the video board during pregame festivities. He received a standing ovation when he got off the bench to enter the game for the first time with 1:47 to go in the first quarter.
The Wolves were down 28-18 at that point and badly in need of a boost.
With chants of ''Ole! Ole ole ole!'' serving as the backdrop, the flash that had been absent for nine months came quickly.
In his fourth minute of game time, Rubio put his back to the basket on the left wing, then bounced a pass between his legs that zipped right past Mavericks forward Elton Brand's legs as well to an open Greg Stiemsma for a layup that sent the Target Center crowd into a frenzy.
''It's great. I can't say with words how it feels,'' Rubio said. ''It gives you an extra motivation to play here. I love it. I'm so proud to be playing for this team and in front of this crowd.''
MOST VALUABLEWill LeBron win another one of these? Here's our top 10 MVP candidates.
This is what they've been waiting for. Sure, they've been impressed with how the Wolves have navigated injuries to Rubio, Love, Brandon Roy and four others to win 11 of their first 20 games. But the team was 18th in the league in attendance coming into the night, with many saving their money for Rubio's return.
They got their money's worth on Saturday night. Rubio had four points, four assists and a steal in his first eight-minute shift, and the Wolves shifted into overdrive with Rubio's foot never letting off the gas. Even when he went to the bench, the Wolves closed the period on a 12-3 run.
''He's a terrific player and he played well,'' Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. ''You couldn't tell he's been out for a year. So give him credit.''
The Mavericks can only hope that the return of their star has the same effect. Dirk Nowitzki hasn't played this season after having surgery on his right knee. There is still no timetable for his return.
NOTES: A bit of a skirmish broke out in the second quarter after Stiemsma leveled Fisher with a screen in the backcourt. Fisher took exception, feeling that Stiemsma put too much oomph into it and had to be held back by teammates. ... Williams had 16 points and six rebounds for Minnesota. ... Fisher scored 20 in a regular season game for the first time since Dec. 20, 2008 when he scored 27 for the Lakers against Orlando.

Sorry mate off to look now
Sorry mate off to look now
Okay, i think it's okay to post this here as it's not a BETA issue, and i'm not sure it's a proper issue, so just up for discussion.
Today was logged in as a normal user (i'll call her Alice) and on log off got this error:
After which, just to be awkward, i did something i shouldn't. I took an email from the helpdesk, directed at another user (Bob) and clicked on the link at the bottom.Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Lo and behold, i could see the full details of the call and all the history, while it said i was still logged in as Alice. :s
Very strange.
So i log off again, no problems this time. Clear cookies, then hit the magic button on Bob's email, and when asked to login, login in as Alice. I can see all the gory details of Bob's stupidity.
Can someone pls confirm it's not just an issue with me, Alice and Bob. Feel free to use Sue and Rita as your test cases...and Bob too if you must.
Edit: Rita just updated Sue's ticket

I'm not too sure I understand Vik.
Vik: When you logged off had you first clicked on new incident?
If you are in the new incident screen and you hit logoff you will get this error.
Accessing other people incidents (crafted URL access or by clicking on a link in an email) - After having done some testing this morning I can confirm this is an issue and will be resolved for the April 2011 release.
Last edited by ICTNUT; 15th March 2011 at 10:47 AM.
I double checked the case and logged on tracker this morning along with a squillion (ish) other minor tweaks. Apologies if they are duplicated.
There were just the two issues, logging off after clicking new incident, causes error. And, user A can see user B's ticket, which is something i found on our my little php helpdesk too. It's no biggie, but if a clever tinkerer chose to fiddle then they could do so.
Thinking out loud here.
With regards to logging incidents. What do people think about the idea of adding in an extra step which queries the KB for possible solutions BEFORE they get to submit the incident?
I'm thinking Joe Bloggs go to New Incident and enters:
"I am unable to print from the printer in my office. It says paper jam."
Joe Bloggs then hits a button to add his incident but is first displayed a screen with possible solutions:
"We have searched the knowledgebase and found the following possible solutions. If none of these solutions are relevant then please click submit below to send your request."
The idea being that users use self help where possible.
Obviously can be worded better but you get the idea?
That's what i thought OPSD did. I'm sure that's what MLH used to do, so it's like when you want to create a new thread in EG it shows you similar titled threads to prevent duplication.
The feature i requested on tracker though was more to push people to get to the homepage first where announcements are pushed at them, and also they can see their current call numbers and common KBs.
The smart search is a good idea and if it isn't on the cards, should be ...
I don't think it does it already. Unless I am missing it.
No it doesn't but i thought it should do. i'm pretty sure it's mentioned on page 1 of this thread.
I liked that functionality in MLH but I'd put money on the fact that I doubt anyone ever actually read anythign that was suggested.
I think some work needs doing on the KB as I use it a lot for support.
If they don't read it it's their loss. I would rather have it there, so when they complain about something not working or taking too long to fix, they can be shown that it is possible to help themselves.
I've supported MLH from the beginning and we ordered it a year or two before even looking at implementing as i just wanted to tick that box. Sorry if i'm a bit behind on some of the developments, though i've tried to follow the thread as best i can over that time.
I think the KB area is great. Admittedly i've only got 1 at the moment, i'm hoping to fill it with lots of little How-To articles. I'm also looking at making some mini video clips for simple tasks such as adding a printer, ejecting a memory stick, changing language, default date, etc . Not sure how to deliver those, as KB or a custom web page of my own.
Searching the KB is great, however a user probably wont do that, if they get a live smart search, firstly of their own past calls, and then secondly of any KB articles with the right tags..? maybe if you tagged a KB with the name of the queue that the call would potential go to...
This would be useful. Even if not for the end use, it's easier for an unskilled technician or even a sixth form helper / apprentice to use our previous catalog of help and pass the info on without having to do much of the troubleshooting.

While our girls were at soccer practice on a field nearby, my buddy and I took on some young kids in a game of Knockout on the basketball court. As we played, I learned his life was in an uproar.

His biggest client cancelled their contract in order to buy from large distributor who was offering an inferior product, but at a rock-bottom price; and his regular …

The Change in Quality Score Reporting: What Really Happened?
A few weeks ago, Google announced that it was changing the way Quality Scores would be reported. Not how they are calculated, they pointed out, just how the scores are reported. This seems like clear confirmation from Google that the 1-10 Quality Score you see in AdWords is just a "front" for whatever your "real" score is.
If nothing changed about your "real" Quality Score, and this is truly just a glossy reporting change, then there should be no effect on your other metrics. BUT, there's another way to interpret Google's announcement. Google might be saying that they haven't changed the factors that go into Quality Score, but they have changed how they normalize the results (which is how they can compare disparate advertisers). If that's true, then there could be substa... > Read more

Villains top Cowgirls
The Bishop McGuinness girls wasted little time in taking it to Southwest Guilford in a battle of two of the state's top basketball programs.
The Villains scored the first 16 points of the game, thanks in large part to a quick transition offense, deft shooting inside and outside and a stifling defense, and rolled to a 52-29 win Thursday night at Bishop McGuinness.
"It was good to good to see us get off to such a good start, especially Julia Brown," Villains coach Brian Robinson said. "That's two games in a row Julia's gotten off to a really good start. I thought she set the tone early about getting the ball inside and having that physical presence down there."
Brown scored 18 points to lead Bishop (2-1), which has won seven straight NCHSAA 1A state titles. She scored 16 in the first half — including the first eight of the game to help build a 19-2 lead after one and 31-7 lead at halftime.
"Our goal really was to kick it off from the beginning," said Brown, a junior forward. "We wanted to throw it at them from the beginning so they wouldn't be able to get back with us. One of our challenges earlier was not coming out so strong. So our personal goal was to start off with energy that nobody can match and I think we did that.
"I don't really tend to look at the scoreboard much, but I just knew that we kept scoring and scoring and scoring. That was a really good feeling. And everyone was contributing really well — the whole bench was yelling. We were playing really well as a team and meshing so well. It was just a really great feeling to have."
McKenzie Rochford followed with nine points on three 3-pointers while Cameron Nieters and Tia Cappuccio each had six for the Villains, who return to Northwest 1A/2A Conference action tonight at home against North Stokes.
Briana Burgins scored eight points while Jenea Rogers had seven to lead the Cowgirls (1-3), who won the 4A state title two seasons ago and reached the regional semifinals last year. Duncan Hackney and Aja Mott each added five.
"The first half we didn't come out with intensity," Southwest coach Jessica Bryan said. "We came out kind of flat. The second half I thought we did a better job. We were more aggressive, attacked the basket and were able to get to the free-throw line. I think if we'd done that in the first half, it would've been more of a competitive game.
"Bishop's a very good team, very disciplined. It was good for us to go against them — it only makes us better. I thought my team's second-half performance was a lot better. I was pleased with their fight, their attitude and just continuing to execute and work on the things we need to continue to work on."
The Cowgirls did have better results in the second half, scoring 15 points in the final quarter. But, while both teams ran their set offenses well, Southwest, which visits crosstown rivalAndrews tonight, simply couldn't match Bishop's ability to finish.
"We were running the offense, getting some outside shots, but they weren't falling and we weren't aggressive in getting to the basket," Bryan said. "Bishop was hitting the outside shot, attacking the basket, and we didn't do a very good job in the transition defense in the first half. So they were able to get some easy shots."

Video: Lewis Pugh on Hydrofracking
Lewis Pugh is a British environmentalist, maritime lawyer and Oceana ally. He was the first person to complete a long distance swim in every ocean, and is probably best known for two impressive feats: his 2007 swim across the North Pole to highlight the melting of Arctic sea ice, and a swim across a glacial lake in the Himalayas 2010 to draw attention to the region's melting glaciers.
Last week Pugh spoke in Cape Town, South Africa against Shell's proposed fracking in the country. Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting natural gas by pumping chemicals, sand, and water underground to break apart rock and release gas. (For more on the controversial practice of hydrofracking see Grist and the New York Times.)
While Oceana doesn't have a campaign directly dealing with the practice of hydrofracking, we are certainly aligned with Pugh on his bottom line: it's time to transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy. Here's a clip of Pugh's powerful speech:
Here in the U.S., we need your help to stop dirty energy, too. Please speak up by March 30 (tomorrow!) to prevent new offshore drilling for the next five years.

A Third of Reef Fish Face Extinctions from Climate Change
When you picture the impacts of climate change, what animal comes to mind? Is it a polar bear floating on a thin chunk of ice, or maybe another cold climate species losing habitat like a walrus or a penguin?
Add butterflyfish to your thoughts about climate change, because a new study predicts that they, along with one-third of all coral reef fish, are losing reef habitat and are locally threatened with extinction from climate change.
Coral reefs are threatened by two aspects of carbon dioxide emissions, ocean acidification and climate change. Corals are susceptible to sustained periods of warmer water temperatures due to climate change, which causes them to bleach when they expel algae, turning them white.

New Report: It's Getting Hot Out There
Every year the Endangered Species Coalition creates a report that focuses on 10 species facing extinction that are currently listed or being considered for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
This year's report, It's Getting Hot Out There: Top Ten Places to Save for Endangered Species, focuses on critical habitats that support endangered species and are themselves threatened by climate change. Shallow water coral reefs and Arctic sea ice, two important habitats that Oceana works hard to protect, were selected as two of the top 10 most important habitats to protect.
Oceana nominated shallow water coral reefs as a habitat that is important to save from the threats caused by human-produced carbon dioxide emissions: climate change and ocean acidification.

Guest Post: In the Eyes of the Polar Bear
Editor's note: Guest blogger Emily Goldstein was a finalist in Oceana's first annual Ocean Heroes contest in 2009 for her work to convince thousands of people and dozens of large companies to reduce their energy use, saving 16 million pounds of CO2.
Polar bears stand for everything that is wild and free, ruling over the Arctic as the creature we all associate with the North Pole. They are the apex predators in the Arctic, admired for their power and majesty. But the polar bear has recently become well-known for another, more deadly reason: they have become victims of climate change. Their world of ice is melting away, threatening their very existence.
In November I traveled to a remote town in northern Canada to talk with scientists about the polar bear's perilous situation. Churchill is a village near the Hudson Bay, where ice first begins to form each year. This was my third visit there, but each time I go I feel even more privileged to be able to experience the world of the bears. The first time I looked into the eyes of a polar bear, I knew that I had to do something to save these amazing creatures from extinction.

Oceans in the Spotlight at COP16
Oceana marine scientist Ellycia Harrould-Kolieb is at the UN climate negotiations in Cancun this week.
This weekend at COP16 started off with style (or perhaps lack thereof) at the NGO party at Señor Frog's – an infamous nightclub catering to 20-something American spring-breakers in Cancun. The NGO party is a great event that lets the climate community put on their party clothes and let off a little steam - before heading into the second very grueling week of negotiations.
Saturday was Oceans Day, an all-day event that focused on the issues facing the oceans due to increasing carbon dioxide levels. On the agenda this year were ocean acidification (a panel including myself, Carol Turley and Tony Haymet), blue carbon and coastal adaptation.

Days 3-5 at COP16
Oceana marine scientist Ellycia Harrould-Kolieb is at the COP16 climate negotiations in Cancun.
Last week I decided to take a break from the negotiations and attend a workshop by Google where they released their new technology platform Google Earth Engine.
This is a very exciting development that could be incredibly useful to scientists, NGOs and the general community in monitoring and measuring changes in earth systems. This platform will have reams and reams of satellite imagery data than can then be analyzed with various tools, including statistical and modeling programs. Computations will be done in the "cloud" so that work that would have previously taken many hours to days or even years can be done over very short time periods.

Ocean Acidification: The Untold Stories
As the first week of the sixteenth meeting of the UN climate negotiations in Cancun, Mexico (COP 16) draws to a close, Oceana is releasing a new report on climate change's evil twin: ocean acidification.
Ocean Acidification: The Untold Stories details new findings for many different species of marine life that will be affected by a more acidic ocean. Coral reef ecosystems will be some of the first casualties of an acidified ocean; impacts to these beautiful and important habitats could have huge consequences for a quarter of the entire biological diversity of the oceans that depend on coral reefs for food and shelter.
Marine life ranging from the smallest plankton to the largest whale may be affected by ocean acidification. Shellfish such as sea urchins, lobsters, sea stars and brittle stars are some prime examples of creatures that could be affected. More acidic oceans are expected to lead to a shortage of carbonate, a key building block that these animals need to build their shells and skeletons.

Ted Danson: A Return to Common Sense for Our Coasts
Ted Danson is a member of Oceana's board of directors, and has been active in the fight against offshore drilling for decades. This guest post originally appeared on The Huffington Post.
I haven't heard news this good in a long time. The Obama administration's announcement to protect the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and both U.S. coasts from offshore drilling as part of the next five-year plan is a massive win for our oceans and every living thing that relies on them.
What's more, the administration said it would reconsider Shell's proposal to drill in the Arctic's Beaufort Sea, a sign that the president's commitment to science and preparedness were not just lip service.
The decision is a reversal of the plans President Obama announced in March -- before the largest environmental disaster in our nation's history began staining the Gulf of Mexico black.

Day 2 at COP16
Oceana marine scientist Ellycia Harrould Kolieb is at the COP16 climate negotiations in Cancun.
Even at this early stage in the negotiations, countries are proving unwilling to come to the table on some issues. Day two saw Japan announce that it will not, under any circumstances, inscribe targets in a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. Japan is committed to killing the Kyoto protocol, which is kind of ironic since it was born in Japan.
Also on the agenda for day two was a discussion on whether the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) should undertake a review of the impacts of a 1.5oC temperature rise. This would bring forward the latest science and help to inform negotiations as to the real and immediate threats facing many nations from a less than 2 oC increase in temperatures.

A lot has been written over the past week regarding the hazing of Jonathan Martin by now former Dolphins player Richie Incognito. Word was just released that Richie had possibly been instructed by the coaching staff to "toughen up" Martin after he missed a voluntary workout. For those unaware, some of Incognito's tactics included forcing Martin to pay tens of thousands of dollars for trips and meals, and, more egregiously, attacking Martin, who is biracial, with racial and family-targeted slurs. I won't replicate the language here, as I find it very distasteful, and abundantly available elsewhere.
This entry attempts to look at the culture of football as I've personally witnessed it – by touching on the issue of jock mentality – which leads directly to the now two major issues facing the league and sport as a whole: severe head trauma and hazing.
For my readers who don't know, I am a born and raised Texan. I am blessed to have two older half-brothers, an older half-sister, and a twin brother. From the time my twin and I were two years old, we were peppered with Dallas Cowboys gear and watched football with the family. One of our oldest pictures together has us in diapers and shirts adoring the famous star. With much older siblings, most of my formative years were spent attending football games in Grayson County to watch them star in year-to-year Texas high school football battles. My oldest brother helped anchor a state championship team at Denison in 1984, and the younger of the two propelled his success into a full ride scholarship at Rice – back in the good old days of the Southwest Conference. The eldest moved on to coach football, and the passion for the sport permeates every aspect of my day to day life.
I live for football season – from the time spent travelling to Austin and College Station to see my brother play as a young child, to playing most of my entire youth and having Cowboys season tickets in perpetuity, then on to a passion for watching Penn take on Harvard and Yale for the yearly Ivy crown. That's how passionate I am about football – I voluntarily watch my alma mater (Go Quakers!) play Ivy League football… it's definitely not the Big XII or the SEC with regards to quality.
I've been exposed to an insane amount of the culture of the sport, from all over the place. No, I'm not a coach, and no, it isn't my career… so take my words with a grain of salt, but please don't completely dismiss them. I'm not attempting to vilify the sport or anyone particularly involved in it (with exception of maybe Richie Incognito and the Dolphins right now). I love it. I really do. I hope the sport survives the next 50 years, and in a much more professional and safe context.
However, so many of the problems start early and persist throughout the entire life spectrum of individuals' involvement with the game. I've seen sentiments that Martin is soft for complaining, and he needs to man up. I've seen coaches grab players by the face mask and throw them back into plays as a means of discipline and control. Ten years old or thirty – playing football is synonymous with maintaining an aura of toughness. If you can't grit it out, make the hard hit, put your nose to the grind, and battle – well, football isn't supposed to be for you.
That's where I think we have the problem, though… this complete inability to separate mental toughness from physical toughness. Mental toughness can quite easily lead to physical toughness, but physical toughness is very rarely an accurate barometer of someone's ability to be mentally tough. Ultimately, as a football player, the mental toughness takes precedence, and should be the aspect of a player most focused on. Some of the fiercest men and women in history have been those who lead and garner strength through the silence of sheer will. The best football players of all time were driven by an internal, mental ambition that no amount of physical prodding or faux-toughness would have diminished or strengthened.
Strength comes from within. Power comes from within. Success comes from within. Nothing associated with typical jock mentality (as I roughly define it in this entry) serves the purpose of pushing that positive mental toughness that can make a person stronger in anything in life, much less football. Calling a biracial player an insensitive word doesn't make a player stronger. Forcing rookies to pay large bills and subjecting them to childish hazing doesn't make a player stronger. Forcing an eight year old to run full speed and deal with violent hits by using intimidation such as shouting and telling him to man up or physically punishing them doesn't make a player stronger. All of these things are disgusting.
Be it an extension of the aggressor's insecurities or an instilled sense of "I had to deal with it, so do you" – I don't know, I'm not Freud, nor am I attempting to psychoanalyze. You don't have to be a psychologist to observe the jaded culture of the sport in its current form, though.
We'll see how the NFL deals with this latest crisis, and see if any significant progress is made on the physical or mental health aspects of these two major issues. For anyone who hasn't seen Frontline's "League of Denial" regarding the systemic failures of the NFL to objectively protect its players and the subsequent lawsuits and settlements, you really should watch. I don't have much faith in the parent league of the sport to control its development, though.
The NFL is a large business, with a lot of revenue to protect. I understand that – and I'm not calling on the NFL to necessarily be the lead dog in controlling these problems with its sport. I hope that it will, but I can't pretend to be so righteous to have the audacity to want a multi-billion dollar company to change because of my concerns. In the end, the NFL is going to protect its establishment, and it is up to the purview of Roger Goodell and the executives within the league to decide to what length it determines who its stakeholders are. Does that stop with the league or with the sport as a whole? Who knows…
The responsibility for the culture change ultimately needs to fall on the youth leagues and parents who are placing their kids into the sport. A refusal to accept this fake and negatively aggressive mentality is the only thing that will stem the behavior. Stop reinforcing that hazing and this superficial, mentally-weak perceived "toughness" is an acceptable course of action for involvement in the sport, and the problem will solve itself.
Do not let any simpleton fool you into thinking that the sport can't survive without that childish mentality of "toughness." Men and women have died on this earth in combat with a lesser sense of necessary toughness. Men and women have steered their families through little food, little support, and bad times without this false sense of bravado. Every day, people on this earth face decisions that make the required "grit" of football pale in comparison to the struggles of life for so many on this earth. The perpetrators of this childish football mentality need to get over their own arrogance and remember that in the end, they are playing a game… not a life-determining series of decisions… a game.

Dollar General says remains committed to purchase of Family Dollar
Dollar General Corporation (DG) issued the following statement in response to comments made by Dollar Tree (DLTR) regarding its view of potential store divestitures that may be required by the FTC in either a Dollar Tree/Family Dollar Stores (FDO) or a Dollar General/Family Dollar combination. Dollar General's documents and data tell a very different story from that contained in the press release issued today by Dollar Tree. As Dollar General previously has stated, Walmart (WMT), not Family Dollar, is the primary driver regarding Dollar General's strategic pricing decisions, and more than 90% of Dollar General's SKUs are nationally priced. Dollar General is confident that its approach to strategic and pricing decisions is both correct and superior to that of Family Dollar and Dollar General has no intention of adopting a flawed strategy -- either now or after an acquisition of Family Dollar -- that it believes would impair its ability to compete with Walmart and lead to inferior financial performance. Dollar General is actively engaged in discussions with the FTC regarding the extent of potential divestitures that would be required in connection with an acquisition of Family Dollar and has been making good progress. Over the past few weeks, Dollar General has provided the FTC with tens of thousands of documents supporting the above facts and its broad view of competition. There is no reason to believe that the FTC would take into account only Family Dollar's documents and data or afford them greater significance than Dollar General's own evidence. As stated in Dollar General's press release of December 4, Dollar General will continue to work with the FTC and expects to provide an update in sufficient time to allow Family Dollar shareholders to review such information prior to the Family Dollar shareholders' meeting now scheduled for December 23.
Dollar Tree provides update on FTC review of pending acquisition of Family Dolla
Dollar Tree (DLTR) announced that it was providing an update regarding the status of the FTC's review of its pending acquisition of Family Dollar (FDO). Dollar Tree and Family Dollar have been actively engaging with the staff of the FTC as they review the pending merger. The company said, "The staff of the FTC is very focused on the discount retail sector (including how Family Dollar's current pricing rules would impact store prices in a merger transaction) and has indicated that some divestitures will be required for the Pending Merger, which we believe will be no more than our original commitment in the July 27, 2014, Merger Agreement. Dollar Tree will work diligently with the FTC staff over the next few weeks concerning divestitures. Given the relatively small number of divestitures our transaction implicates, Dollar Tree does not expect any such divestiture to have a material impact on its plans for the combined organization. Furthermore, we believe that we will be in a position to complete the financing for the Pending Merger in January 2015 and to complete the Pending Merger as early as February 2015... In connection with its unsolicited tender offer for Family Dollar, Dollar General (DG) continues to refuse to agree to a "hell-or-high-water" commitment. Based on the foregoing concerns regarding the Pending Merger, Dollar Tree believes that the FTC may require divestitures far in excess of the 1,500 stores that Dollar General has offered to divest in its tender offer for Family Dollar... The special meeting of Family Dollar shareholders to vote on the Pending Merger is currently scheduled for December 23, 2014. To facilitate the FTC's continued review, and in light of the practicalities associated with the transaction, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar have agreed not to close the Pending Merger until January 30, 2015, unless the FTC completes its review of the Pending Merger and terminates the waiting period at an earlier date. Dollar Tree will continue to provide additional information as the special meeting date approaches."

I took an early morning walk on Friday morning, after our series of storms left the desert and moved on to Texas. I was surprised to actually see steam coming off one of the ponds at the golf course (see bottom photo). There were a lot of ducks there and I tried to be quiet, but I scared all of them off! They circled above, showing me their disapproval! We had sunshine yesterday, although clouds moved in last night and I haven't peeked outside yet this morning. Scenic Sunday and SOOC Sunday for December 26, 2010. No, I'm NOT going to the after-Christmas sales, but I think I'll go for a walk a little later.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Arpil 9, Week 8 - M, W, F (3x per week)
Workout Routine:
All exercises are done in a superset between upper body and lower body.
For example, elevated feet pushups (upper body) are supersetted with 1 legged ball squats (lower body). Do NOT rest within the superset (between the upper body and lower body), but rest 30 seconds after the lower body before repeating the superset again. Repeat for a total of 2-3 rounds total. Proceed to the next superset.
Aim for higher reps: 15-20 reps
Aim for 3-4 rounds for each superset (upper body to lower body)
Again, take no more than 30 seconds rest in between.
Next week, I will reveal to you my transformation with only 8 weeks of training.
If you want to maximize your results even more, I suggest that you also incorporate my 16 week interval training with your exercise routine. The article can be found here: http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com/my_video_tips/interval_training.html

Every fashion blogger knows that in addition to all the shows during New York Fashion Week, the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference is an important kick off event that aims to educate and inform bloggers about new advances in our medium, new ways to interact with audiences and tips on how to attract more advertisers. Organized by Jennine Jacobs of The Coveted and held bi-annually at MILK studios in downtown Manhattan, the event attracted a flurry of fashions bloggers both established and upcoming.
This season there were four panels: What Are Bloggers Worth, Media Goes Mobile, Your Blog: Your Dream of Just the Beginning and Making Your Blog irresistible. The attendees on the panels included fashion media heavyweights such as a Bryan Boy, Aliza Licht, Macala Wright and many others. The room was filled with established and aspiring bloggers as well as media representatives from top brands and online publications. Everyone dressed in their best fashion blogging and New York Fashion Week gear that included: fur, color, animal prints and more fur. Check out some of my pics above and below were the top 5 tips from the panel.
1. Be authentic. Readers will know when you're not and leave your site, perhaps forever, to visit other blogs that don't conform to the norm and offer unique content.
2. Specialize in what you know. Whether its plus size fashion or DIY, write about what you know, and love to do it.
3. Market Your Content. Whether it's through Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter or Youtube, find your holy grail of attracting visitors and promote your content through that channel or multiple ones to attract new readers.
4. Pinterest. The Icon Concierge is on Pinterest already, but after hearing multiple bloggers on the panels praise it over and over again as a unique and genuine way to build constant and loyal traffic, we're definitely picking up our game on the photo sharing application, and you should too!
5. Editorial Calendar. Create an editorial calendar that you can stick to and that your readers will learn to expect and look forward to!
You can also check out our Pinterest board on the event to see more pictures and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Pose, Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube for New York Fashion Week coverage!

Published: 21 December 2010
The total turnover of enterprises operating in the environmental goods and services sector was EUR 1.61 billion in 2009. The turnover fell by 30 per cent from the previous year while the number of personnel as well as investments continued to show growth. These data derive from the new statistics on environmental goods and services sector compiled by Statistics Finland. The statistics comprise data on enterprises operating in the environmental and services sector as their principal activity. Environmental business activity refers to activity related to production that is based on environmental pollution prevention or the saving of natural resources.
Change in the turnover, number of personnel and investments of industries in the environmental goods and services sector in 2006–2009
Approximately 720 enterprises in nine different industries were engaged in environmental business as their principal activity. Environmental business activities accounted for 95 per cent, or EUR 1.53 billion, of their total turnover. Measured with turnover, the largest industry was recovery of sorted materials. The biggest employer was collection of non-hazardous waste.
Most, or around 98 per cent, of the enterprises in the sector employed under 250 persons. In 2009, they generated 54 per cent of the turnover and employed 71 per cent of the personnel. The fixed net investments of enterprises in the environmental goods and services sector went up by 9 per cent from the previous year and amounted to EUR 166 million in 2009. The share of the investments of their turnover was 10 per cent.
The data for the statistics were collected both from administrative sources and with an inquiry conducted among enterprises. The inquiry also extended to enterprises engaged in environmental business as their secondary activity. In their respect, reliable statistics could not yet be produced at this stage.
Statistics on the environmental goods and services sector are still under development throughout the European Union. There is a need for regularly published comparable statistics. These statistics were compiled in accordance with the guidelines of Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities. From now on, the statistics will be produced and developed annually.
