During the summer of 2014, the Texas Trees Foundation (TTF) completed an i-Tree Eco* Assessment for the City of Dallas. With generous assistance from six college interns and the City of Dallas Urban Forester, Foundation staff assessed 621 randomly selected plots. Data was analyzed, interpreted and combined with information from two additional studies completed by the Texas Trees Foundation: The Dallas Roadmap to Planning and Planting Trees (2010), the Open Lands Study (2014). With support from the Dallas Urban Heat Island Study (2004) the comprehensive The State of the Dallas Urban Forest Report was produced.
Celebrate trees with this promotional video of Texas Trees Foundation. Created by students at Art Institute of Dallas as a class project, this video details the importance of trees in urban environments and how Texas Trees Foundation is making a difference, by creating healthy communities through tree planting, education and advocacy. Join us today and plant a tree!
Attention Girl Scouts of North Texas, we have postponed our event scheduled for March 28, 2015 until the fall! Please check back on our Facebook page or the Girl Scouts page for more information as the time draws near! Thank you for your support of Texas Trees Foundation!

Texas Trees Foundation (TTF) and Oncor have launched an interactive online educational website designed to help both children and adults learn important facts to ensure their tree planting experience is a rewarding one.

Ah, good ol? brown. Woodsy, earthy, dependable. It?s not actually a spectral hue, but a dark version of orange. All the same, rustic, wholesome brown is a staple in interior design and deserves its moment of glory.
What words come to mind when you think of brown? Snuggly, rich, comfy, natural, soothing, luxurious and warm may be a few. It?s also a safe choice, if red shouts, then brown is a soft hum. Brown's pale sibling, beige, is a very popular wall color here in the states. No wonder IKEA targeted us with their popular "Be Brave, Not Beige" campaign including a fun website dedicated to encouraging the infusion of saturated color into the home, especially the 'typical' American one. While I believe strongly in the use of color in a space, I?m not entirely against beige and its milky cohorts. From buff to burgundy, rust to wheat, brown can give you a huge range of looks and whether understated or bold, it's often a terrific canvas to work from.

These neutral tones can work quite in supporting roles: to provide a backdrop to accent pieces, or maintain continuity between stronger tones. The warm mushroom chaise lounge works wonderfully here as a counter-balance to the soft grey wall.
Here, deep brown paint provides weight and a sense of depth in this sitting area. Chocolate also look lovely in smaller spaces, such as an entry, kitchen, or bathroom. via: Homes and Gardens UK.
Wood floors are a basic component of most homes. And wood furniture. Most people stop there, concluding that since wood is brown all wood furniture must match. Right? Have you ever considered that each variety, while still ?brown?, has a different undertone? Cedar, pine, oak, cherry wood tones range from red, to orange, blonde or even blush. via: Flooring Express.

Think of the food craze for a moment, chocolate and coffee. Ranging from milky caf? au lait to triple shot espressos, cupcakes, and cookies. Not only does chocolate taste great, but it can create a genuine sense of warmth and security, while stirring up your appetite. No wonder that it's called Comfort Food. (Now I?m hungry!)
Speaking of food, aren?t these walls below simply edible? Brown is an excellent choice when you want to set off a more saturated hue. Think about contrast – dark against light, muted against bright. Brown and orange, or turquoise, or pink…

Texture and pattern are important considerations when you?re mixing monochromatic (one color) elements. To dabble in brown, start with accent pieces: a throw pillow or piece of artwork. Amenity Home has a beautiful range of textile pieces to bring nature inside.
By combining lights and darks, and layering different textures together, basic brown spaces can become anything but boring. Do you like using it in your space? I bet you have more of it around than you realize!

I really enjoy writing Take Five Tuesdays so I've decided to keep it going for the rest of 2008 and to add a fun column to run on Mondays called Color Me Monday. This one will be themed around a specific color or a palette that I'm currently inspired by showcasing things that I like from pretty rooms to flower arrangements, fashion, and anything else that I would own if my wallet were fatter and my home larger. Monday isn't a day that we love to face so my goal is to cheer you up and get the week started off right with a dose of color. Oh, and please visit your etsy friends over in the left column on Monday because I'll feature items in the chosen color/s for additional inspiration. Yay! Okay, nuff 'splaining, time for getting down to business. :) Today I'm feeling bright splashes of yellow with a touch of crisp white because as I look out of my window, all I see is white snow yet all I can imagine are bright yellow daffodils popping up to replace the big freeze in just a few more months…
Bottom: Pretty work area from Domino magazine, Slim eatin' in this narrow but nice kitchen as seen in Living Etc magazine, the stunning cow parsley wallpaper featured in Real Simple magazine (my goal is to someday have this paper in my house, I can't stop thinking about it), and yellow and white bookcases – such a great idea again from Domino.

"Back in Black"
By Rachel Perls of Hue Consulting, decor8 guest writer
Fall is finally here; our palette has turned to deep, rich, autumnal colors. With the colder weather approaching, we move indoors, looking forward to making our spaces warm and cozy for the months ahead. Light, airy whites and pastels are tucked away in storage, and denser, muted tones become more prevalent, ushering in a feeling of weight, comfort and stability.
Black is a strong, dependable color that becomes quite prevalent in home decorating during this season. It has a sense of permanence, and solidity that is reassuring. How decadent and glamorous is this room shown above? Black represents sophistication and substance. The ultimate chic color for cocktail parties and black-tie affairs, it can morph into a completely different interpretation with a simple change of context.
People react quite strongly to this hue, which is actually the absence of all pigment. It signifies mourning in many cultures, as well as danger, or the supernatural. It is ominous, the fear of the unknown. Black represents power, which can be reassuring, or scary, depending upon whom wields it.
One combo that packs a punch is black and yellow. In nature, black and yellow color patterns communicate to predators that an animal is dangerous, like stinging wasps or poisonous snakes. We?re biologically conditioned to pay special attention to this color duo.
Another popular match is black and red. It has a strong Asian flair, and looks amazing in lacquered finishes.
A fresh, modern variation of the red and black theme substitutes fuchsia for the red, lightening the mood considerably.
Or experiment with orange and black, another stunning combination.
When paired with other bright colors, black works as a unifying element. How fun is this treatment? I feel like I just stepped into a pop art painting.
Trend-wise, I?ve read that dark cabinets for kitchens are very hip these days, Susan from the blog The Kitchen Designer, is a terrific source for trend watching in this area of the home. But be forewarned about those oh-so-popular black granite countertops. Ergonomically, they are horrible for your vision because there isn?t enough contrast between the work surface and your kitchen items; this causes eyestrain.
Just by tweaking the texture, surface, and tone of black, you can create vastly different moods. This shiny kitchen by Miles Redd is really over the top, but I thought it was so fun, I couldn?t resist.
If you don?t know where to start, accent pieces and dark flooring are great places to begin introducing ebony into your spaces. (Remember the Nate Berkus NYC Aparment reveal on Oprah?) Black can look great with almost any color, especially if it is used with contrasting lighter colors. You absolutely need the contrast, so don?t go too overboard with this inky tone.
Any questions regarding black that you have? Please leave your question or comment below and I'll gladly do what I can to answer!
(images linked accordingly above. some links via desire to inspire.)
If white hasn't inspired you yet, I pulled together this set featuring 285 of my favorite mostly white photos for your enjoyment. I think it will do the trick! From products to rooms, animals to nature, I think you'll like clicking through these gorgeous images. All of them have been featured on decor8 at one time or another, so for long time readers, you should recognize many of them. It's fun to see them all grouped together!
You can also view them as a slideshow against black right here and adjust the speed to slow, medium or fast in the lower left corner. I hope you like it. Have fun!

My debut novel (self published) was YA Fantasy and I'm working on the second installment in the trilogy, now. I'm also working on a Short Story collection in the Horror Genre. I haven't really found a "niche" yet. My planned projects include a non-fiction piece about customer service, a crime novella, and a few more novels in the Horror genre. I am interested in working in multiple genres and learning multiple styles of writing.
Primarily, taking part in critique sessions and working on my writing skills but as I want to be a well rounded author/entrepreneur, I would also be interested in marketing/platform building workshops.
I'm working on my second novel and I want to release it this year, along with a short story collection I'm working on. I would like to boost visibility of my debut novel and find new ways to get the word out about my upcoming works.

Ex-French president Sarkozy's home, offices searched in suspected illegal financing scandal

PARIS—French investigators searched former President Nicolas Sarkozy's home and office on Tuesday as part of a probe into suspected illegal financing of his 2007 presidential campaign by the L'Oreal cosmetics heiress, an official said.
Potential legal troubles have threatened Sarkozy since he lost the presidency to Socialist Francois Hollande in May elections. Sarkozy, who lost his immunity from prosecution June 15, denies wrongdoing.
Judge Jean-Michel Gentil and other investigators from the Paris financial crimes unit conducted Tuesday's search of Sarkozy's home and offices, the official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be publicly named discussing an ongoing investigation.
Messages left with Sarkozy's staff were not immediately returned.
The probe centres on the finances of France's richest woman, L'Oreal cosmetics heiress Liliane Bettencourt.
A long-running family feud over her fortune ballooned in 2010 into a multi-layered investigation and political affair. Allegations emerged that Bettencourt provided illegal campaign cash to Sarkozy's party during the 2007 campaign. Sarkozy vigorously denies the claims.
The allegations struck a chord with Sarkozy's critics, who were frustrated with Sarkozy's handling of the recession-hit economy and saw him as too cozy with the rich.
An accountant for Bettencourt said in 2010 that she gave 50,000 euros (roughly $63,800 Cdn) in cash in 2007 to Sarkozy's party treasurer for the presidential campaign — well beyond the 4,600 euroes ($5,8000 legal limit on individual donations. A book released last year suggested that Sarkozy himself received undeclared campaign money. Sarkozy denies the claims.
The case also stirred up debate over media freedom. Le Monde filed a lawsuit accusing Sarkozy's office of using counterintelligence services to identify a source leaking information about the investigation. Sarkozy's office said it had never given such instructions to an intelligence agency.

I think/hope/wing and a prayer that flashing a (non rooted) stock ROM will fix the problem, but actually finding such a rom is proving to be as easy as a needle in ten haystacks. Any kind of root triggers the encryption lock-up. Factory/hard resets have not solved the problem, it doesn't erase the damn encryption. We may well be hosed, I understand that, but I was wondering if anybody has managed to pull themselves out of this morass? Conversely, any ideas on how to remove the encryption - which seems to be independent of the OS, considering there isn't any OS on the phone at this point.
Any help would be welcome. We're spinning our wheels here, trying to get past this damn encryption. This thing is the "Cousin Eddy" of the Android world. Ugh.

Jack Abramoff: [on prison typewriter] I know it's a moonshot, but writing the letter to a former president who understands very well how the game is played, I hope you might see my point of view, and consider making an appeal to the right Democrats, who might find it useful to help me, so in turn, I can help all of you.

Heterogeneous compute has been on the tip of the tongue for many involved in integrating compute platforms, and despite talk and demos regarding hardware conforming to HSA provisional specifications, today the HSA Foundation is officially launching the ratified 1.0 Final version of the standardized platform design. This brings together a collection of elements: - the HSA Specification 1.0 defines the operation of the hardware, - the HSA Programmers' Reference Manual for the software ecosystem targeting tools and compiler developers, - the HSA Runtime Specification for how software should interact with HSA-capable hardware The specifications are designed to be hardware agnostic as you would imagine, allowing ARM, x86, MIPS and other ISAs to take advantage of the HSA standard as long as it conforms to the specifications.

Good customer service is just one of President Barack Obama's 15 cross-agency priority goals for agency managers in 2015. Dan Chenok is executive director of the IBM Center for the Business of Government. In his Top 3 for 2015, he tells In Depth with Francis Rose about the expectations agencies will have to provide top notch customer service.
Karen Evans, Director, U.S. Cyber Challenge
Personally identifiable information for nearly 800,000 Postal Service employees was compromised in 2014. And cyber attacks also left 25,000 employees at the Homeland Security Department at risk last year. Karen Evans is the director of the U.S. Cyber Challenger and former E-Government administrator. In her top 3 for 2015, she tells In Depth with Francis Rose why the time is now for agencies to step up their cyber defense systems.
Dan Blair, President, National Academy of Public Administration

Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
The FBI is a few weeks away from the finish line on one of the federal government's largest deployments of Android smartphones. Most of its field agents and analysts will get new devices and new security licenses. The next step is a new crop of mobile apps. Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu has more details.
Eric Crucius, Partner, Fed Nexus Law
The term lowest price-technically acceptable is a misnomer. LPTA contracts usually wind up costing federal agencies more than other kinds of contracts. That's according to Eric Crusius -- he's a partner at Fed Nexus Law and his practice is in the federal contracting space. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said federal agencies are pushing the LPTA concept too hard.
Jason Miller, Executive Editor, Federal News Radio
Federal leaders are getting more excited about moving their agencies toward a more digital existence. But new research by the National Academy of Public of Administration and ICF International finds the majority of federal respondents need help to make lasting change to their agency's services. And that help is coming from the Office of Management and Budget. Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller tells In Depth with Francis Rose how OMB will further how agencies move to the digital world.
Bill Eggers, Global Public Sector Research Director, Deloitte
Agencies across government are developing and releasing strategic plans for the second half of this decade.

Bill Eggers is Global Public Sector Research Director at Deloitte. He's leading the Gov 2020 effort, and on In Depth with Francis Rose he explained why.
Jamie Barnett, Cybersecurity Practice Partner, Venable
CENTCOM's Twitter and YouTube accounts are back up and running after Islamic State sympathizers hacked the sites yesterday. The Defense Department says the attack lasted for about 30 minutes. The sites posted threatening messages about American troops and showed pro-Islamic State images. Retired Navy Rear Adm. Jamie Barnett is a partner for the cybersecurity practice at Venable. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he explained what the cybervandalism means for CENTCOM and national security.

The new cyber organization is part of the broader DISA reorganization that goes into effect Monday. Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller tells In Depth with Francis Rose about some of the changes.
David Hawkings, Senior Editor, Roll Call
A plan to fund the Homeland Security Department is taking shape in Congress. But there's a big question mark next to HR 240: Is it an actual bill? Or just another continuing resolution? David Hawkings is Senior Editor of Roll Call. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he shared the details on HR 240.
John Teeter, Federal Advisory Global Center of Excellence for Health
Federal health agencies need help drafting their latest update to the Federal Health IT strategy guide. The Federal Health IT Strategic Plan relies on new research gathered about electronic health records in both the public and private sectors. But those agencies are looking for public input to make it perfect. John Teeter is managing director of the Federal Advisory Global Center of Excellence for Health at KPMG. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he shared ways to improve the new strategy guide that will inform public health policies until the year 2020.
Tim McManus, Partnership for Public Service
The federal hiring process is too complicated to give people a fair shot at working for your agency, according to the Merit Systems Protection Board. Tim McManus is Vice President for Education and Outreach at the Partnership for Public Service. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said it's possible to fix the hiring process without compromising your agency's core principles.
Sharon Burke, Senior Fellow, New America Foundation
If oil prices stay at their current level, the Defense Department stands to save about $2 billion this year. Defense News reports the Pentagon has already saved about $500 million. Sharon Burke is senior advisor of the New America Foundation, and former assistant secretary of defense for operational energy plans and programs. On In Depth with Francis Rose, she explained how today's oil prices will affect future defense policy.
Bob Tobias, Professor, Key Executive Leadership Programs
New members of Congress have a crash course available to teach them about the biggest challenges facing your agency. Bob Tobias is professor of Key Executive Leadership Programs at American University. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said the program is missing some important details.
John Pickett, Senior Economist, Office of Inspector General, USPS
A better work-life balance at the Postal Service will help the agency, its employees and its customers. That's according to the agency's Inspector General, who has a plan to introduce more workplace flexibility for Postal Service employees. The IG says the plan should make everyone that interacts with the agency happier and more productive. John Pickett is senior economist for the Postal Service's Office of Inspector General. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he shared details on how to implement a new work-life balance plan.

Jason Miller, Executive Editor, Federal News Radio
The General Services Administration is setting the table for a systemic change to how federal IT projects are completed. GSA's 18F and Integrated Technology Services now have a request for information on the street that would initiate a sea change to how the government contracts with vendors and buys technology. Federal News Radio's Executive Editor Jason Miller tells In Depth with Francis Rose about the RFI and reaction to this approach.

Median home price at $325,000 — again
County figure unchanged for fourth straight month
While that was still below the five-year average of 15.2 percent, the rise signals a return to a more balanced market among low-, middle- and high-cost housing.
"Forget price appreciation and depreciation," LePage said. "It was the high-end, expensive homes that were missing for a long time."
He added, "If you take one thing away (from the latest report) … it does suggest in many markets, prices have appeared to firm up a lot."
Weichelt said he is picking up that feeling at his realty company, Weichert Realtors Elite.
"I just had two clients call today and say they were thinking about putting their homes on the market in 2010," he said. "They think they see good stabilizing and more increase in values. We'll see, hopefully, if that'll be the case. We're seeing a more normal market, which is always nice."
While stable prices often indicate a turn in the market, it's unknown whether this is the precursor to an upward swing or a pause before prices fall again. The median price reached a record in November 2005 of $517,500 and fell 45.9 percent to this past January's low of $280,000. But there's no guarantee the $45,000 turnaround since then will result in prices everywhere returning to their records anytime soon.
"It suggests at least a temporary price plateau in a lot of markets, not all," LePage said. "You can't extrapolate, even if you think we're at the bottom of a 'U.' "
He and other market analysts caution about many unknowns — the course of interest rates, now at historically low levels below 5 percent; the health of the mortgage market, especially with the scheduled exit of the Federal Reserve from buying mortgages from lenders; and the biggest uncertainty, the state of the overall economy and whether employment grows and sparks renewed housing demand.

To participate please email email@example.com with the subject line 'EP Mobile'
We hope to hear from you soon!
I love it but adds are annoying and please make a app for it
Gotta scour to find a compatible browser for the chat, on ipad for example, but there is at least one: Puffin.
I love ep and everything in it but it'd be super great if the app would let us sign in to ep without us having to go to the actual web.
I always use my phone to share my experience on EP and I do appreciate your effort to make it better.
Find the site hard to navigate. Don't think an app would help much. Still not very sure how much I will continue to use the site anyway.
Needs an app
Hard to navigate
Requires cookies
Need an app
It's just generally un-efficint
i do use my phone but i cant seem to find a way to ask questions and its hards to get the the different sections of the website aswell
Thank you for the request for feedback...I'll send my feedback in an email as requested but will say the pesky chaser ad's spoil my EP experience on my smartphone. I understand the need for advertising but the chaser's lock up my smartphone and make it impossible to enjoy. There has to be a better way to get the advertising message out with the intrusion. EP is a wonderful site and it's a shame I cannot enjoy from my smartphone. dc
My only quibble is g the sign in bit. My back button undoes my login. Can you solve that? I tick " keep me signed in" but once i move away, them back say to prior page I'm logged bk out
I use my smart phone everyday to view ep and have no problems. Love it!!!
I do, try to build an Android application
To beable to upload photos !!
I didn't know I could I'll have to look into that.
When i try replying to a message the advertising line for Target gets on the way all the freakin' time so instead on clicking on send i end up clicking on the add....>=|.... Other than that its perfect:):)
It would be great to have an app for EP! Make it easier to get too and record your dreams and thoughts.
Sure! I would be happy to share my experience or try new software.
i dont even have a phone and im fine not using my phone for anything but games work and calls.
I use ep on my iPod and one thing I'd love to see is and app for it that way I don't have to save a tap on my Safari
Thank you
The buttons are way too close. I try to open one thing and all of a sudden I'm being dragged elsewhere...it drives me nuts. I'm on a Samsung galaxy.
i do use a smartphone to log on to ep,bt it is a Symbian Belle.for 1 thing,ep doesnt get loaded if im not using a 3G connection or a wifi.another problem dat im facing is dt im not being able 2 use the advanced editor while replying to my mails.otherwise,logging on to ep is a remarkable experience
On I phone it is ok am new so will get back as I find out problems more than fat fingers.
Thank you
It's pretty good on the 4S.
For every one who doesnt like the adds I would guess you are using..... IE...wich is slow on mobiles and has no add or pop up blocker change your browser to one that does or will accept 3rd party pop-up /add blockers ...simplessss xxx
Would rather have an app....
Make an app is great solution
I do all the time. The pop ups are by far the most annoying part of that experience.
an app would be great :D
I use my android browser, and it's very hard to navigate because when I press a button, it detects that a pressed another.
An app would be amazing!
I use my iPhone. An app that makes the navigation easier would really help.

(Corrects size of note market in the fourth paragraph
of story originally published Feb. 14.)
Nova Scotia is avoiding the Canadian equivalent of Libor while pricing the province's latest variable-rate debt offering amid a widening probe into alleged market manipulation of benchmark interest rates.
"I would want the market to set the rate, not a group of individuals -- as we found out with Libor, it was set by what we believed to be a market but turned out to be a group of individuals who were colluding with each other," Peter Urbanc, Nova Scotia's treasurer, said in a phone interview today from Halifax. "Market participants, I think, on both sides would have a benefit from issuing through something that's transparent and set by market, or the regulator."
The province linked the sale of all three tranches of its impending C$475 million ($433 million) of floating-rate notes to the Canadian overnight repurchase agreement rate average, rather than the Canadian dealer offered rate, which is set from a survey of banks. CDOR is cited by the Bank of Canada as the benchmark for Canada's C$95 billion market in floating-rate notes.
Benchmarks set by a poll of bankers who give estimates for what interest rates they will charge or receive have come under suspicion as some of the world's largest banks have paid billions in fines for rigging the most important of these -- the London interbank offered rate. Canada's federal government said this week it will step up regulation of financial benchmarks set by banks, which could include CDOR.
Central Bank
Unlike CDOR, the Canadian overnight repo rate average -- or CORRA -- is based on actual transactions collected and published by the Bank of Canada on its website. CORRA is the weighted average of the interest rates charged for overnight loans of securities conducted by designated interdealer brokers. If there are not enough transactions, the Bank of Canada sets the rate, Urbanc said.
"This CORRA, the nice thing about it is if there are not enough data points, it's set by the Bank of Canada," he said. "The Bank of Canada is the one setting that rate, not a group of 18 banks, so I like that, and I think the investor likes that too."
Urbanc said this is the first floating-rate bond maturing in a year or more that has been priced using CORRA as the benchmark. Demand from investors, including CIBC Mellon Global Securities Services Co., prompted Nova Scotia to consider using CORRA, which also allowed the province to diversify away from other sources of short-term funding, he said. The new benchmark proved cost effective, he said.
Bank Benchmark
Nova Scotia sold C$25 million of three-year notes to yield 21 basis points over CORRA, C$200 million of four-year securities yielding 33.5 basis points more and C$250 million of five-year debt to yield 41 basis points more than CORRA.
CDOR is the benchmark index for Canadian bankers' acceptances with a maturity of one year or less, and is determined daily from a survey of nine market makers. Rates are submitted by banks that are issuers of banker's acceptances in Canada, according to the central bank. CDOR is published daily at 10:15 a.m. by Reuters.
Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Holdings Plc, Bank of America Corp., National Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia and Toronto-Dominion Bank are the market makers.
Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, competes with Reuters in providing financial information and news.
Increased Interest
"CORRA is more transparent than CDOR, simple as that," said Mike Gallaway, vice president of treasury investments at CIBC Mellon, and the lead investor on the deal, said by phone from Toronto. "It's an evidence-based reference rate and there's not as much evidence surrounding CDOR as there is with CORRA."
Increased interest from Canadian authorities in CDOR contributed to his decision to look for another benchmark, Gallaway said.
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Canada's bank regulator, said it is developing an enhanced oversight framework in a Jan. 13 letter.
"Global regulators have adopted principles to strengthen the integrity, reliability and oversight of financial benchmarks that are used in a wide variety of financial contracts," the Federal government said in its 2014 budget released Feb. 11. "The government therefore proposes to introduce amendments to the Bank Act to provide a regulation-making authority that would apply to Canadian banks in their submissions to financial benchmarks."
Firms including Barclays Plc (BCS:US) and UBS AG have been fined about $6 billion for manipulating Libor and related benchmarks. Prosecutors and regulators around the world are investigating whether firms colluded to rig rates to benefit their own derivatives trades. Ten people have been charged in parallel U.S. and U.K. criminal probes.
"If we want to have good governance and prudence you need transparency," said Gallaway. "That will help make Canada's financial system stronger and more well-regarded around the world."

How to Submit Works for Local Broadcast
KQED's local programming department schedules more independent films per year than any other public television station in the country. KQED seeks to bring the breadth and range of cultures and perspectives to viewers through its local acquisitions program. Each year KQED broadcasts numerous programs produced by independents for broadcast.
How to Submit Your Work to KQED
Submissions on DVD should be sent to the Director of Programming along with a synopsis. All DVDs will be screened, but due to the number of submissions, it may take as long as 6 to 8 weeks for a response. Be sure to include an email address with your materials.
Send materials to:
Scott Dwyer, Director of Programming
2601 Mariposa Street
San Francisco, CA 94110
We apologize that we cannot guarantee return of materials.
Licensing Agreement
When KQED accepts a program for air, it enters into a licensing agreement with the independent producer for local broadcast of the program. As copyright holder, the independent producer remains solely responsible for clearing any and all rights.
Technical Criteria
All programs must be of broadcast quality and will be evaluated by station engineers. Acceptable formats for air are digibeta, beta or HDcam. All programs must also have Closed Captioning. Standard lengths of 26:46, 56:46, 1:26:46 or 1:56:46 are preferable. KQED generally makes an in-house copy of the program for air and returns the original media to the producer after the first broadcast.
Broadcast Dates
Due to print and promotion deadlines, KQED locks its broadcast schedules six weeks in advance. Generally, licensed programs are first aired between six months to one year after the execution of the license agreement. KQED will contact the producer once the program has been scheduled.
Also on KQED.org this week ...
KQED Celebrates Women's History Month
KQED proudly celebrates the richness and diversity of the greater San Francisco Bay Area by commemorating Women's History Month. In March, KQED Public TV 9 and Public Radio 88.5 FM schedule a special lineup of programs focused on themes and issues related to women.
"Boomtown" History of the San Francisco Bay Area
KQED's "Boomtown" series will seek to identify what is happening in real time in the current boom, and also draw out the causes and possible solutions to the conflicts and pressures between the old and the new.

I know many of you use PP, so perhaps someone can throw some light on a problem which has developed.
Up until last week, every payment which was made to our PP account resulted in a confirmation email being sent to the registered email address, as was confirmation of funds withdrawn. However, this no longer happens. PP have said that as far as they are concerned, there is no reason for this. The email address (which has been in use without any problems for several years) was a third party one, so PP suggested setting up a normal, o2, address as the primary one.
This hasn't made any difference, so can anyone suggest where the problem may lie?

general questions
Now I've been reading quite a bit about smart pointers, and shared pointers seem like "perfect" in many cases. However I also read about cyclical reference or something like that? Where
shared_ptr can't be used? I'm having a difficult time undestanding this, can someone give a trivial example showing this?
Also I'm really wondering, what do weak_ptr's provide that normal pointers don't? - As they don't increase the reference count they give no guarantee that the memory they point at is still valid?
my personal project:
In a project I've 2 "global" containers (both containers are soon to be moved inside a class), both are filled with "objects". However both should "point" to the same object. An object can not exist outside those containers, and it should not be possible that one container does contain it, while the other doesn't.
Currently I simply use normal pointers for this, and have a
destroyObject method to manage the memory.
Is this good design? Should I use smart pointers?

There will be gains regarding education or learning activities. Also, past hard work and effort will now bring you due rewards.
Ancient Words of Wisdom
Every Month, our Chief Astrologer, Pandit Sarveshji brings you useful extracts from the ancient scriptures. This months piece is:
How can the gemstones, talismans etc that we acquire, help us to appease and pacify heavenly bodies? According to the scriptures, a parallel universe, complete with planets, stars, constellations etc exists in the human body. Obviously, this universe does not exist in the same physical form we know through astronomy. However, this can be experienced by the awakening of the Kundilini. The planets and heavenly bodies have been accorded the status of demigods. There are not all powerful and rely on offerings made on Earth for strength. This is why when we on Earth pray to or appease the power representing a planet, by acquiring its gemstone or Yantra, that power is quickly gratified and responds by bestowing its blessings.
