Hope and tension as the 2010 UN convention on climate change sputters to a close
Among the slew of American diplomatic cables recently released by Wikileaks is a report on a senior US diplomat's meeting with Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the European Union, last December. In it, Van Rompuy departed drastically from the EU's official stance of cautious optimism: he referred to the 2009 UN climate change conference in Copenhagen as "an incredible disaster" which "excluded" and "mistreated" Europe; he expected nothing to be resolved at the 2010 conference in Cancún, or through the multilateral process at all, and instead hoped to make progress at an EU-US meeting in Madrid, which never took place.
With the Cancún conference (November 29–December 10) now drawing to a close, the question still seems to be an active one: will such pessimism be borne out?
In Mexico, the already-embattled Kyoto Protocol — currently the only binding international greenhouse gas-reduction agreement — has gotten into greater trouble. Japan created a stir at the conference by announcing it would not renew its Kyoto pledges once they expire in 2012. But there may be good reason behind Japanese lack of faith in the agreement:
"Unfortunately, the fact that the world's second largest emitter and largest per-capita emitter, the United States, famously never ratified the Kyoto Protocol — the very idea of the protocol was rejected by the US Senate in 1997 by a vote of 95-0 — and that it does not require emission reductions from developing countries including the biggest emitters like China and India, calls into question whether the protocol by itself could ever assure climate safety." (Andrew Light, "Has Japan Killed the Kyoto Protocol? Does it really matter?" Grist.org)
The Canadian government has long since abandoned any pretence of meeting its own Kyoto pledges, and has joined Japan and Russia in opposing the continuation of the protocol. Clare Demerse of the Pembina Institute asserts that Kyoto, imperfect though it may be, is still crucial to Cancún; she echoes developing countries' desire to take a two-stream approach, with developed nations (minus, apparently, the US) continuing under Kyoto, and a less restrictive agreement governing the developing world.
China, the most prominent of the developing countries and now the world's greatest emitter of carbon, was seen as a major source of the disruption in Copenhagen last year. So its more conciliatory tone this time around has inspired optimism. Earlier this week Chinese representatives at Cancún set off a blast of enthusiasm by apparently hinting that they might be willing to submit to binding agreements, generating headlines as triumphal as the Guardian's "China on path to redemption in Cancún." It came out the following day, however, that the representatives were only talking about submitting to their own, domestic resolutions.
"It is 'premature' to demand the country make internationally binding commitments, a top Chinese negotiator said…. With only three negotiating days left, the kerfuffle leaves China and the United States roughly where they began when the 16th conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change opened last week: close to a deal, but it appears not close enough.
If there is an agreement to be unlocked in Cancun — and dozens of ministers insisted yesterday that there is — China and America hold the keys. (Lisa Friedman, "US and China Maintain Polite Disagreement as Climate Talks Reach Final Days," New York Times)
Good's Ben Jervey is skeptical of this being a mere misunderstanding: "I can't help but have a cynical take that Chinese officials knew exactly how this news would be received, and didn't want to be seen as the roadblock to progress two years in a row." But regardless of the motives behind that move, China has been instating an impressive set of environmental measures, involving everything from investment in mass transit and renewable power to improved energy efficiency standards, and is planning to increase its proportion of renewable power dramatically.
US representatives have stated firmly that they will only sign onto an agreement that includes a system for transparent accounting of emissions reductions, a sensitive issue for the developing countries it would impact on. This "all or nothing" stance would sound a bit better but for the likelihood of the outcome turning out to be "nothing":
"The hard line — which some in Washington have seen as ritual diplomatic posturing — has fuelled speculation that the Obama administration could be prepared to walk out of the Cancún talks…. There is next to no chance [the newly Republican-dominated] Congress would take up cap-and-trade legislation or ratify any UN treaty." (Suzanne Goldenberg, "Cancún climate change summit: America plays tough," Guardian)
Disagreement over this same issue was a major sticking point in Copenhagen. But there's some hope for compromise now, in part thanks to a compromise put forward by India's environment minister:
"Mr. [Jairam] Ramesh proposed a plan for bridging the gap between the United States and China on verification, by establishing a voluntary program known as international consultation and analysis. Under the plan, also known as ICA, countries would declare their emissions reduction targets and provide regular reports on how they were meeting them and gauging their own progress." (John M. Broder, "U.S. and China Narrow Differences at Climate Talks in Cancún," New York Times)
A large part of this plan's attraction is that it requires transparency — yet it includes no punishments for nations failing to meet their voluntary goals. Which is still better, at least, than scuttling the talks and having no verification system at all.
The bigger picture remains troubling, thanks in part to the lowered expectations brought to Cancún in the first place:
"All the talk is of relatively 'safe' technical issues, like fast-start financing or monitoring and reporting, while the big questions are swept under the carpet. A tacit low-ambition consensus between the United States and the BASIC countries — Brazil, South Africa, India, and China — has become the central political reference point.
It's a depressing picture, and many commentators are drawing the conclusion that, with binding targets and timetables so firmly off the table, it's time to take a new look at voluntary, bottom-up, technology-led approaches." (Alex Evans, "The multilateral zombie," Chinadialogue.net)
The Cancún conference ends today, and an announcement has come out that a new text is being drawn up to be presented to all of the participants. This alternative "deal" is, the Guardian reports, intended "to commit developing and developed countries to reducing their climate emissions." That could mean many different things and provoke many different responses. As Alex Evans points out in the article quoted above, voluntary targets may be the only politically plausible move right now, but that doesn't mean they'll be enough: "The atmosphere doesn't award marks for effort." The fate of the talks, and of the environment, still seems very much up in the air.

Solvable Lie algebra
|Group theory → Lie groups
Lie groups
In mathematics, a Lie algebra is solvable if its derived series terminates in the zero subalgebra. The derived Lie algebra is the subalgebra of , denoted
that consists of all Lie brackets of pairs of elements of . The derived series is the sequence of subalgebras
If the derived series eventually arrives at the zero subalgebra, then the Lie algebra is solvable. The derived series for Lie algebras is analogous to the derived series for commutator subgroups in group theory.
Any nilpotent Lie algebra is solvable, a fortiori, but the converse is not true. The solvable Lie algebras and the semisimple Lie algebras form two large and generally complementary classes, as is shown by the Levi decomposition.
A maximal solvable subalgebra is called a Borel subalgebra. The largest solvable ideal of a Lie algebra is called the radical.
Let be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0. The following are equivalent.
- (i) is solvable.
- (ii) , the adjoint representation of , is solvable.
- (iii) There is a finite sequence of ideals of such that:
- where for all .
- (iv) is nilpotent.
Lie's Theorem states that if is a finite-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and is a solvable linear Lie algebra over , then there exists a basis of relative to which the matrices of all elements of are upper triangular.
Completely solvable Lie algebras[edit]
A Lie algebra is called completely solvable if it has a finite chain of ideals from 0 to such that each has codimension 1 in the next. A finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra is completely solvable, and a completely solvable Lie algebra is solvable. Over an algebraically closed field and solvable Lie algebra is completely solvable, but the 3-dimensional real Lie algebra of the group of Euclidean isometries of the plane is solvable but not completely solvable.
- Every abelian Lie algebra is solvable.
- Every nilpotent Lie algebra is solvable.
- Every Lie subalgebra, quotient and extension of a solvable Lie algebra is solvable.
- Let be a subalgebra of consisting of upper triangular matrices. Then is solvable.
Solvable Lie groups[edit]
The terminology arises from the solvable groups of abstract group theory. There are several possible definitions of solvable Lie group. For a Lie group G, there is
- termination of the usual derived series, in other words taking G as an abstract group;
- termination of the closures of the derived series;
- having a solvable Lie algebra.
To have equivalence one needs to assume G connected. For connected Lie groups, these definitions are the same, and the derived series of Lie algebras are the Lie algebra of the derived series of (closed) subgroups.

This week's featured Analogue Lifestyle article is "Book Covers in Lomographs" by raejk14 from UK. If you could republish your favourite books' covers with Lomographs, what would they look like? Here's what her sweet analogue shelf would contain.
"I love books way too much. If that was even possible. For anyone else who has often wished that they could meet the characters from their favorite books (such as Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare), look no further than your Lomographs! Here's a whistle stop tour of my all-time favorite books."
Read "Book Covers in Lomographs" by raejk14
We chose this article because it's a cool application of how your Lomographs can be used creatively! Reimagining book covers with your own photographs is a pretty cool concept, even if it may not really run through printers in real life. It does happen for some artists though, like with painter John Parot from reality show, Work of Art. One of the episode challenges was to redesign a classic book cover and artists had to apply their talent and aesthetic to create modern imagery for an old time favorite. John's piece was chosen and the new edition of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells (published by Penguin Books) now features his masterpiece. It may be a long-shot for most Lomographers, but it's free to dream, isn't it?
Congratulations on winning 10 Piggies!

How I did it: I had tried other methods of trying to quit smoking. Having smoked since I was 17 I felt as though it was hopeless and I was going to die of some sort of smoke related cancer. I was at my doctors office one day and my doctor basically told me that taking the pill and smoking could cause a blood clot and I could die... like today or tomorrow. That was enough to scare me straight. She asked me if I had tried the nicotine patch and I said no… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't really do much. I mainly wanted to accomplish this goal because I was so angry at my aunt that passed a few years ago. It is 3 years later now and I think I can finally move on. A lawsuit that was filled regarding this situation is resolved and now I want to look forward. I am not angry with her anymore and the past only affects the future if you let it consume you. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went and got my oil changed. My dad got another trunk for my car a few months ago. We just put it on. A few days ago I embarked on a huge cleaning project in which I vacuumed my car, scrubbed the carpet and mats, and cleaned the windows and dashboard. I am sooo proud of what I did for my car. I done good! Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
- Replace my burnt out head light
- Fix the cigarette lighter fuse (Dad replaced it. I need to test my car phone charger in order to make sure this one is actually done.)
- Do a deeper cleaning of all of the garbage & perhaps vacuum and dust the car?
- Put in a new air freshener thing.
- Replace the actual heating element of my cigarette burner (the knob) because it is still not getting hot?
I drive a 94' Plymouth Acclaim. It has been smashed a few times but that car has been so good to me. I have never had any serious problems with it. Now I feel she is in need of some TLC. What follows is a list of the things I need to do to get her back into tip-top shape:
- Replace my burnt out head light
- Fix the cigarette lighter fuse
- Get new tires and/or rims (I'm not sure as to exactly what I need yet. I will consult with an expert on the subject of motor vehicles…)
- Clean out the garbage
- Put out a new air freshener thing
I know if I put this on my list I will look at it on a regular basis and will get 'her done.

Wells Fargo's Rising Earnings Defy Wall Street Once More
- Wells Fargo reports a first-quarter profit of 98 cents a share, significantly beating the consensus estimate of 93 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg
- GAAP Net income was $5.5 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $4.9 billion.
- Net revenue came in at $21.4 billion, growing from the previous quarter and beating an estimate of $21.2 billion.
- Mortgage banking earnings of $2.8 billion were unchanged from the first quarter of 2013.
- Net interest margin fell 2 basis points to 3.46%, beating most estimates.
- The firm repurchased approximately 26.7 million shares of common stock in the quarter, lowering its share count.
Updated from 1:08 p.m. ET to include Friday closing share prices and additional analyst commentary.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wells Fargo (WFC) beat second quarter earnings expectations as the nation's fourth largest bank by assets was able to grow its earnings for a fourteenth consecutive quarter.
Consensus was that the lender could see a slight sequential drop-off in earnings for the first time since the worst of the financial crisis, as a 2012 mortgage refinancing boom petered out and interest rates surged at the end of the quarter.Wells Fargo saw strong performance from its less talked about businesses such as investment banking and mortgage servicing. Net charge-offs on loans continued to fall, dropping to their lowest level since 2006. Still, the bank's mortgage earnings confirmed widespread sentiment that consumer and housing market activity remains well below levels they should be in a normal economy. The bank reported a slight rise in loan growth to $802 billion and flat mortgage banking revenue of $2.8 billion. Meanwhile, well-worn earnings concerns, such as falling interest margins are showing signs of relief. The bank's net interest margin fell 2 basis points to 3.46%, however, the drop was far smaller than consensus expectations. The San Francisco-based lender reported better-than-expected earnings of $5.5 billion, on revenue of $21.4 billion, beating estimates of $5 billion and $21.2 billion respectively. First-quarter earnings of 98 cents a share surpassed the consensus estimate of 93 cents, according to analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg. Wells Fargo shares rose nearly 2% to $42.63 in Friday trading. "The streak is well enact and has momentum to continue for the foreseeable future," Marty Mosby, a large-cap bank analyst at Guggenheim Securities, said of Wells Fargo's fourteenth consecutive quarter of earnings growth. Mosby noted Wells Fargo's 5 cent quarterly EPS beat means Wall Street analysts may need to model an additional $2 a share in price forecasts for the bank. Wells Fargo, however, reported net unrealized securities gains of $5.1 billion, about a $6 billion drop from the first quarter, when the bank carried $11.2 billion in unrealized gains. The drop in unrealized gains reflected the impact of rising interest rates and hit Wells Fargo's rising levels of capital by 24 basis points. Mosby had expected the bank to report between a $3 billion to $5 billion write-down to its securities portfolio. The analyst also forecast a 5 basis point decline in the bank's net interest margin, however, Wells Fargo may have bolstered its interest margins by extending the maturity of some assets. "They will be one of the first banks to show tangible results from higher interest rates," Mosby said. Some of Wells Fargo's earnings beat could be attributable to bottom-line expense reductions that aren't a key mark of the bank's operating performance. "Better credit drove the majority of the beat, but we believe investors will be happy with progress on expenses and net interest income as well," Ken Usdin, a Jefferies banking analyst, noted of earnings. Wells Fargo's provisions for credit charge-offs fell $567 million quarter-over-quarter, as the bank saw mortgage and home equity loan delinquencies drop. Credit improvements could continue in coming quarters, Usdin wrote in a client note. Wells Fargo's second quarter earnings are considered by investors and analysts to be a crucial turning point for the nation's largest mortgage lender. In coming quarters, the bank's earnings growth hinges on sustainable consumer demand for mortgage and auto loans, in addition to an increase in business lending activity. "We are going to begin to look for the phase where Main Street outperforms Wall Street," Bill Smead, Chief Investment Officer of Smead Capital, said in an interview ahead of earnings. In coming quarters, Smead expects Wells Fargo to see significant growth in its lending businesses and a reduction in securities portfolios that have helped to cushion the bank from a tepid economy. "Two years from now, if people are excited about Wells Fargo, it's going to be about the huge market share they have on Main Street," Smead said. Smead Capital has been a Wells Fargo investor since 2009. "Wells Fargo achieved outstanding results for the second quarter, with our diluted EPS growing for the 14th consecutive quarter and our returns on assets and equity increasing from second quarter 2012 and first quarter 2013," CEO John Stumpf said in a press release. In its second-quarter earnings report also released on Friday, JPMorgan (JPM) earned a profit of $6.5 billion, or $1.60 a share. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon suggested in a CNBC interview Wells Fargo had done a better job originating new mortgages. While Wells Fargo saw originations rise over 2% to $112 billion, JPMorgan reported a 7% second quarter decline.

166: Population, Fresh Water and the Ocean
As population continues to grow, the requirements to sustain such numbers of us are enormous. Fresh water demand will increase 70% to satisfy basic water needs, and where will all this water come from? In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss outcomes and solutions from the World Water Forum which took place in Marseilles, France in March and will assert that we perhaps need look no further than the ocean as the major contributor to the fresh water cycle and ask that we work to devise a revised understanding of this vast hydraulic reservoir.
Peter Neill, Director of the W2O and host of World Ocean Radio, provides coverage of a broad spectrum of ocean issues from science and education to advocacy and exemplary projects. World Ocean Radio, a project of the World Ocean Observatory, is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by community radio stations worldwide.

Rowland pleads not guilty
Former Gov. released on $250K bond, can't leave state without permission. Feds say he schemed to illegally sidestep election laws to make campaign consulting money on the sly.

Under a cloud of doubt and suspicion, but presumed innocent, former Gov. John G. Rowland once again stood in a federal courtroom to answer criminal charges.
Rowland was arraigned on charges that he schemed to illegally sidestep federal election laws to make money for consulting on the sly for two separate campaigns for the U.S. House seat that he had once held.

The bigger issue is who initiated this and according to the paper Johnny Boy had a track record of soliciting his perceived knowledge and star power to others as well as the Foleys.
My bet is... since the Foleys have already been indited and according to the paper "are cooperating" they are the ones that sold Johnny Boy down the river to save their skin.
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid to pull these stunts after having spent time in prison, to say nothing of the fact the guy that put him there was running against the Foleys. He basically said "screw you former FBI you are retired and can't touch me" It doesn't work that way, the ties are strong even after retirement. "

All this Stupid Circus going on over John Rowland,and right in Hartford you have some the most corrupt pieces of Garbage in the history of this pathetic state, running the show,and you people look the other way,turn a blind eye,and go after petty junk like this case! I mean hell look at the dirt bag in the Governor's Office,and all his slimy cohorts surrounding him.Spending money they don't have like it's their last day on earth. And for what? For all their Pet Projects,that are going to make them lot's a money!
You people are a pathetic joke,and a laugh a minute,along with that FBI Idiot. Say what you want about Rowland.
However Rowland is a boy scout in comparison to Mallarky Malloy and his gang of cohorts, they should be the ones in Prison. "

And the message is: Come on down, and you don't have to swim in the ocean.
A rep for Florida's so-called "Emerald Coast" in the Gulf says beach destinations such as Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island need support now more than ever. And tourism folk there are putting the emphasis on golf, museums, parasailing, shopping and more. Tuesday, boating was allowed and an earlier swim advisory was lifted. The area's tourism website has video updates, specials and more.
Over at the Beaches of South Walton, Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton filmed a public service announcement urging travelers to "be part of the solution," by continuing to visit Gulf destinations this summer.
Meanwhile, the huge Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort complex in Destin is taking an innovative approach that uses water. It has erected a floating water park in the bay away from the ocean (see photo). Sandestin guests with a resort amenity card get into the park for $20 an hour. A ride on a "Banana Boat" is $15. The resort also has begun to set up a beach area on the shores of the bay with sand and umbrellas. For more info on what's up at Sandestin, including loosened cancellation policies, click here.
What do you think? Will you go to the Gulf this summer?

A couple of weeks ago, I hinted on our Facebook Page about the weekend project we had in the works. I mentioned that I was all done dealing with the 'mantel envy' I have had going on, for years now. You know, mantels, the shelving surface that many homes have over their fireplace? Many creative homemakers have great fun decorating their mantels for various seasons and holidays, switching it up all of the time. It just wasn't fair.
We don't have a fireplace, anymore. Years ago, before the little-house to big-house renovation, we had a built in coal and wood fireplace insert, with a brick mantel.… Read More
My Custom Built Farmer's Table Home Office Desk
I know many of you have been waiting for this, with all of my teasing about it! And I have been dying to show you my custom-built farmer's table home office desk, that that my husband made for me. For this first post, I am simply sharing with you the build itself, and some of the story behind it. In upcoming posts, I will show you my workspace all set up and pretty. (When I get that far.)
So first, to put my appreciation and excitement in context here, you should know how I have been working.

3 Little Garden Chairs / Refinishing
There's been these 3 little chairs, sitting in our basement for years now. One of my husband Michael's clients offered them to him, knowing we had triplets, and thinking maybe we could use them. They are about toddler size. So he brought them home, and they've been in the basement ever since. I've never been a primary-colors kind of girl. I thought maybe I would repaint them or do something with them at some point, for the kids, or maybe as available props for my photography studio. But, I was just never inspired to 'have-at' them.
Until of course, I was.… Read More
An Amoire Refinish
It's been awhile since we've shared a furniture refinish project with you. Unlike the last one which was extremely meaningful and refinished with much love, my mother's dresser, this one is not so special. It's a useful piece for our home, but it's just a piece we picked up years ago at some department store or other. Regardless, it has been in a room we wanted it out of. The only other place we could figure that it could be used and where we also would have room for it, was in our youngest daughter's bedroom. Yes, the same bedroom my mother's dresser was refinished for. And I was NOT putting this darker piece up there, in that bright, fresh and airy room.… Read More

- 1Jun 23, '13 by jmaloyYay!! So happy for you...May god bless u in ur new journey
- 1Jun 23, '13 by LindseyvamThanks!! I thought it was very helpful and worth every penny. It puts a lot of things into perspective than just reading the study guide. It also helped for the care plan stuff. It did offer some lab practice time but my learning preference for skills is in a quite alone environment so that portion didnt work for me. You also cannot take any of the practice supplies with you that you can practice with at the work shop which sucked because it was an additional expense to buy the skills bag but overall i thought it was worth it

I have been so stressed and doubting myself you however, let me feel like it is possible. Thank you for that. Good luck with nclex.

Economic irrationalist
Lately I've been making a few decisions which are economically irrational. Making decisions which are, on the face of it, financially inept.
For example, I starting to feel a sense of loyalty to my chief technology officer for rentoid.com
He's not the cheapest and he's not the best. Probably somewhere in the middle for both. I could probably get someone cheaper with similar skills, or better for the same price. But I don't. In fact I tell him that I'm loyal to him. A large part of why I want to succeed so that he can succeed also, to share it with him. Even though he has not risked the capital, or the time that I have on the project.
Why would I act this way. Well I like working with him. He's a nice guy, and sometimes that's enough.
I guess you could call me an Economic Irrrationalist. And it just feels right.
7 Responses
Yeah! I agree – you get just as much pleasure making people happy, making them them feel secure and loved – just as much as turning a profit.
But hey – I think economic irrationalism encapsulates much more than just loyal employees. The world should think more about economic irrationality.
Take, for example, economic growth itself. Our whole economic system is based on economic growth. But we know that GDP is hogwash. It includes negative growth, like increased spending on jails, depression research and coal plant revenue. And despite material growth gains, economic growth does not equate to happiness. The whole thing is rubbish.
If we started doing things DESPITE the economic benefits, we'd probably all be better off.
Nice post fella.
I wonder if your CTO friend reads this blog?
Anyway, there is no reason to believe economic rationality can only involve questions of dollars and cents. The whole point of work is not to earn income, it's to earn leisure. We work so we can be happy. Given your assumption, charity would always be irrational, as an example. People act for many reasons. In fact, for most people a desire to pursue happiness has a greater influence on decisions than a desire to increase future income. So I would argue this simply makes you human.
What about Henry Ford? He used to pay his employees double the standard salary as he knew he would make his money back by avoiding union disputes, retraining staff, hiring, firing, disputes in court, etc.
Makes perfect economic sense to me Steve :)
I would take it one step further. If your CTO friend and you both want to continue growing perhaps you help create some situation for him where he gets ongoing dividends for his work? For example, maybe if he gives you a good deal you could refer him to other potential clients in your Start Up School…
People tend to get that entrepreneurship is not a competition, we are all in it together. Even competitors can have unique attributes and find a way to complement each other.
Just my two cents.

Hotel Reviews
"New equipment, courteous service"
Entered the high-ceilinged hall design, coupled with pleasant air-conditioning equipment, there is waiter immediately brought juice and ice towels, heat a solution of the Cambodian people under the hot sun. Finishing in the room is very neat and clean, the space is large enough, finishing twice a day, but also to have spare generous (which in Cambodia for three baths a day to wash our much needed!), But unfortunately the elevator upstairs concentrated in the head, section of the room to go after a while. Breakfast style rich, worth a try.
"Excellent hotel room & meeting room"
Just return from Siem Reap from a two days seminar held at Sokha hotel, the hotel room is clean, meeting room is big with high ceiling all the staff are friendly and provide you all assistance you needed, the food is fantastic from coffee breaks to international buffet lunch, get the chance to taste the Japanese in one evening, and find it the best Japanese food I ever had and the price is reasonable and the are professional.
Room Tip: Pool view is the best with view to the cascading waterfall.
"Great large resort type hotel"
This hotel complex is huge. Our room was beautiful - large, clean, comfortable and aircondititoned. The hotel has a number of restaurants which serve really very excellent quality food at bargain prices - we ate at the Japanese and French restaurants. It will take a leisurely walker about half an hour to walk to the market - just turn left outside the hotel, then right at the traffic lights and keep going until the road forks - you can take either of the forks and just before the river you'll come to the market. The buffet breakfast has a dizzying array of choices - but this is a hotel used by lots of tour groups so there may be rush times in the restaurant in the morning. The staff at the hotel are super friendly and alwaysMore ⇓
"Good hotel"
Hotel is most suitabe for group touring team. If you want to go Angkor Wat alone, plz check other guest-house. But hotel is very clean, comfortable, and nice breakfast!! Recommend to people who want to tour with your family or co-workers. Jym, swimming pool, massage, bar, restaurant are ready. To the night market, the center of the city, 5 min took by tuk-tuk.

Boys basketball: Valparaiso struggles, but finally shakes off Portage
By Mike Hutton 648-3139 or firstname.lastname@example.com February 27, 2013 10:04PM
Updated: April 1, 2013 12:11PM
MICHIGAN CITY — As long as you're on the victory train at this point, it doesn't matter in what fashion the game was won.
That was more or less Valparaiso coach Joe Otis' line after the Vikings survived Portage 51-37 Wednesday in the first round of the Michigan City Sectional.
Valparaiso plays Chesterton at 6 p.m. Friday in the semifinal round after the Trojans whipped LaPorte 70-50 in the night cap.
The gritty Indians had their collective arms wrapped around the ankles of the Vikings for the better part of three quarters before Valparaiso pulled away with a late surge.
A three-point play the old fashioned way by Luke Kizer with 4:48 left summed up the frustration for the Vikings: Otis exploded on the bench at the official because he thought the basket should not have been counted and then Kizer made the free throw to pull the Indians to within two points at 33-31.
That sequence of events seemed to ignite the Vikings, who didn't play with much conviction offensively in the first half.
Tyler Doane came right back and hit a 3-pointer that started a 13-0 run. The irritation boiled over in a constructive way for Valparaiso, which never looked back. John Mosser, who struggled in the first half offensively, finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Doane's immediate answer three was huge for the Vikings.
Otis will gladly take the win.
"I've been in 25 sectionals in this gym," he said. "I don't care if they're pretty or ugly or whatever. We're moving on and that's what you want."
The first half was close, with the Vikings leading most of the way but not by much.
The Vikings took an 8-3 lead after Doane made a basket with 2:30 left in the first quarter. A 3-pointer by Jordan Simpson pulled the Indians to within four points (10-6) at the end of the quarter.
Valparaiso pulled ahead 16-10 in the second quarter when the Vikings made their only 3-pointer of the half — a bomb from the corner by Justin Osburn.
The Indians pulled to within three when Jordan Collazo hit one from the top of the key with time running out in the half.
In the second game, Chesterton opened the second half with a 19-0 run. That was pretty much the game for LaPorte, which was able to play with the Trojans for about the first 12 minutes.
LaPorte didn't break the drought until Josh Fleming scored with 1:32 left in the third quarter.
By then, Chesterton had already built a 30-point lead.
Chris Palombizio led the Trojans with 19 points while Corey Rusboldt pitched in with 10. Chesterton coach Tom Peller was able to substitute freely in the half with the large lead.
The Trojans, who have lost twice to Valparaiso, would like to break the drought.
"They're a sound team fundamentally," Peller said. "We just can't beat ourselves. I think sometimes we get too jacked up when we play them. We know we can do this if we play smart."

Tigers vs Seattle
The Pacific women's basketball team steps out of conference for a Tuesday match-up with Seattle at 5 p.m. at the Alex G. Spanos Center.
The Tigers (9-7) will look to bounce back after seeing their six-game home win streak snapped Saturday against Cal State Northridge, 72-68, as the Matadors erased a 13-point half-time deficit. Pacific, which sits fourth in the early Big West standings at 3-2, has lost two home games by a combined five points.
Pacific, which turned in runs of 20-2 in each of its two previous games - to open the second half against UC Riverside and after falling behind 5-0 to Long Beach State - experienced what they'd been doling out to opponents as Northridge posted a 19-2 run to open the second half.
Freshman center Kendall Kenyon has started each of the last three games, her first college starts, and turned in two double-doubles while averaging 14.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. She blocked a career-high four shots against Cal State Northridge.
Junior guard Erica McKenzie sprung for a season-high 25 points, her second 20+point game of the year, draining five three-pointers on Saturday. McKenzie leads the Big West in three-pointers made per game (2.6) and three-point percentage (.400), with both marks good for top 40 rankings in the NCAA leaders.
Seattle enters Tuesday's contest at 11-7 overall. The Redhawks and Tigers have met just once previously, in December of 2008, when the Tigers took a 71-65 victory. Seattle, which competed in Division I from 1950 to 1980, took a 29-year hiatus from the top level of college sports before returning to D-I in 2008-09 as an Independent.
The Tigers and Redhawks tip-off at 5 p.m. will precede the Pacific men's team taking on CSU Bakersfield.
Following the contest, the women's team will play four straight on the road, beginning Saturday at UC Davis. The Tigers will travel to Cal Poly (1/26) and UC Santa Barbara (1/28), then Cal State Fullerton (2/4) before returning to the Spanos Center on Feb. 9 against UC Riverside.

FRIDAY, Nov. 8 (HealthDay News) -- The number of people with asthma who are allergic to cats is on the rise -- it's doubled over 18 years, a new study finds.
"From 1976 to 1994, positive allergy skin tests in people with asthma have increased significantly," study author Dr. Leonard Bielory said in a news release from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
"Not only have we found the number of asthma sufferers allergic to cats has more than doubled, but those with asthma are also 32 percent more likely to be allergic to cats than those without asthma," he added.
The researchers also found that people with asthma are more likely to be allergic to several environmental triggers common in the fall, including ragweed, ryegrass and fungus.
The study was scheduled for presentation Friday at the ACAAI's annual meeting, in Baltimore. The data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
About 60 percent to 85 percent of people with asthma have at least one allergy, but the most common types of allergies in people with asthma have not been well researched, according to the ACAAI.
"This study helps us better understand common trends in allergy and asthma, which can lead to improved diagnosis and treatment," Dr. James Sublett, chair of the ACAAI indoor environment committee, said in the news release. "While it is unknown exactly why there has been an increase in asthma and allergy sufferers, it is thought a number of environmental factors can be responsible."
During the holidays, allergy symptoms can suddenly appear in people with asthma and those who've never had allergies. For example, while visiting friends and relatives with cats, a person may develop a runny nose, sneezing and itchy eyes.
There is also something called the Thanksgiving Effect, where college students return home and discover that they are now allergic to a pet that never before triggered symptoms.
"Allergies can strike at any age in life, with symptoms disappearing and resurfacing years later," Bielory said. "Allergies and asthma are serious diseases. Misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatment can be dangerous."

Medical Definition of NEBULA
nebulanoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Any of various tenuous clouds of gas and dust in interstellar space. Nebulae constitute only a small percentage of a galaxy's mass. Dark nebulae (e.g., the Coalsack) are very dense, cold molecular clouds that appear as large, obscure, irregularly shaped areas in the sky. Bright nebulae (e.g., the Crab Nebula, planetary nebula) appear as faintly luminous, glowing surfaces; they emit their own light or reflect that of stars near them. The term nebula also formerly referred to galaxies outside the Milky Way Galaxy.
