An Open Letter To…: Victoria Beckham
By Jackie Hunter
Posh Spice yesterday stepped out in an Audrey Hepburn-style monochrome shift dress and won compliments from the fashion world. It's the latest in a string of sartorial hits by the woman for whom too much was once never enough
Dear Victoria,
The only occasion on which I've seen you in the flesh (and let's use that term sparingly) was five years ago at a Vogue party in New York. The sighting prompted a sharp double-take – who on Earth let this ten-year-old child wearing a sparkly handkerchief attend a louche, late-night bash in the Meatpacking district, I wondered. Then your husband appeared and it became clear that you were actually the distaff half of the couple once branded Thick'n' Thin.
On that occasion you were wearing a tiny, peach chiffon dress by Dolce & Gabbana, replete with Grecian-style pleats and bearing so many silver sequins it was a wonder your frail body didn't buckle under the weight. Your exposed skin was layered with fake tan – you looked like one of the Terracotta Army headed for a gay disco – while your hair contained more extensions than the average suburban housing estate.
Twirling round with your heavily braceleted arms stuck out at 180 degrees, you were evidently super-delighted with your look that night, but the general consensus in the room was that you'd gone somewhat over the top – this in Manhattan, where a mile past "over the top" was where most fashion-conscious women aspired to be back then.
So when you, David and your three sons decamped to Los Angeles last year, the style commentators collectively covered their eyes and held their breath, waiting to see what fashion faux-pas you might unleash upon the West Coast beau monde.
Not that many among the current ranks of Hollywood celebdom exhibit an iota of good taste, but they do adhere publicly to a strict (if strange) behavioural code that extends from the amount of alcohol they drink (none) to the time they go to bed (9pm, sober and hungry) to the way they dress in public (overpriced designer tracksuits with flip-flops and a prominent melon-shelf). Woe betide the incomer who fails to conform.
Initially, it seemed, they were right to worry. We all saw the loony high-heeled "trainers" you wore for a photo opportunity pitching a baseball at Dodger Stadium; the asymmetrical peroxide bob; the matchy-matchy frocks and Birkin bags in bubblegum shades; the bizarre flared jeans designed for your own label that left you looking as though your feet had been amputated.
Then, on red-carpet occasions, came the full-length white lace bed jacket with the Desperate Housewives hairdo and the "I- remembered-my-corset-but-forgot-my skirt" ensemble.
But get a load of you now, flying in to London from LA this week in a beautifully fitted, unadorned black dress that keeps your knees and chest demurely under wraps. The tabloids have described the look as "Audrey Hepburn-inspired" and it seems to me you are channelling Audrey in her most elegant film role: no, not Breakfast At Tiffany's, but The Nun's Story. Check out that crisp, white collar – it's practically a wimple!
In addition, your low-maintenance pixie crop is far better suited to a mid-thirties woman than those naff additions of glued-on Ukrainian-peasant hair, of which Cheryl Cole seems so fond. You've toned down the beauty queen make-up, too, giving your skin a chance to breathe and fade from Tango to California tan. You are moving on, at last, in the right direction.
You've figured out that dressing in one colour is the best way to showcase your teeny silhouette; that subtle accessories and toned- down hair mean you don't completely eclipse your expensive garments, thereby rendering the investment somewhat pointless.
You've also started to dress your age: if I might paraphrase a 1930s music-hall number, nobody loves a Spice Girl when she's 40 (especially her mortified children, dreading the guffaws when she turns up at the school gate in a zebra-print cocktail frock). So let's hope you've now firmly put behind you the "zig-a-zig-ah" element that resided in your wardrobe for far too long.
Yours sincerely, Jackie Hunter

A Refreshment for the Series. 10
The Basics Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is refreshment for the series after the last few major games released in the series. The graphics look pretty good opting to choose motion comic style cut scenes done in the style of the 4 universes.

If you want me to be honest here, Pokemon saved my sanity twice over.
When I got my first Pokemon game, it was the year 2000 and I was stuck in bed due to a back injury. I couldn't move and even breathing was difficult for me; if I expanded my lungs too much, it would cause my back muscles to spasm. Prime had bought a Game Boy Color for me along with a copy of Pokemon Red and Blue; he took Blue and I started on Red. Picking my starter, raising my team, searching for a Pikachu, all of that and more kept my mind off the pain and made my recuperation a lot easier. Being stuck in bed all day wasn't so awful when I had a team to train.
Fast forward eleven years later.
It's now March 2011 and it's been about four months since I've had a major incident in my life: in the prior November my mother tells me that I'm not an only child and that I have an older brother. I'm lost, confused and feel completely adrift. Then I get my copy of Pokemon Black. The story immediately draws me in and gets my mind off of some of the crap that's going on in my life. An hour spent playing the game is an hour I don't ponder why I was born, why in heaven's name my mother couldn't love me enough to tell me the truth, did I even have a place in this world, etc. The Pokemon on my team became a digital family to me and hanging out with them helped easy my worries. They didn't judge, they didn't laugh and they were always there.
Then, I caught my Golett Riser and everything changed.
Riser became the cornerstone of my team, the Pokemon I could rely upon when no one else could get the win. Once he evolved into a Golurk, he became a force to be reckoned with and a true terror in battle. But he was also my faithful companion, the one who carried me from town to town on his broad back without complaint, the one who pushed himself harder and harder in order to get that win, the one who stepped in to protect a fallen teammate. He was in other words, my stability. I'd been wanting a Golurk since the Gen V sprites were revealed and having one was better than a dream come true. Golett and Golurk became a bit more than simply Pokemon for me, they were mirror images of myself: as I was an odd, clumsy creation who had no idea why she had been formed but existed anyway. Golett became my spirit Pokemon and my Pokesona; Golurk became my ideal guardian angel. Both of them offered a strange sense of belonging; but then again, golems of a feather seem to flock together.
Pokemon is, in short, my sanity. It keeps things in focus for me, it keeps my mind off some of the dark thoughts that love to come up from time to time. It's been two years since my life changed and having those carts around keep me grounded. So yes, the franchise has had a major impact in my life and I'm glad it has.

Yankees strike back, sign Mark Prior to minor league deal
Dec 14, 2010, 6:28 PM EDT
UPDATE: According to Tom Krasovic of AOL Fanhouse, Prior's deal with the Yankees is worth $750,000 if he makes the team. He is also willing to go to the minor leagues if he doesn't make the club during spring training.
Jon Heyman of SI.com writes that he could make $750,000 in additional incentives, meanwhile Joel Sherman of the New York Post says he could make an additional $800,000 based on innings pitched. You get the point. He's gotta pitch to get paid.
6:13 PM: That Brian Cashman still has it, man! He just outbid the Rangers and signed Mark Prior to a minor league contract, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.
In all seriousness, before you honestly think that this is part of the team's "Plan B," remember that we first mentioned the Bombers' interest in the oft-injured right-hander last week. Now that it's official, he'll be reunited with his former pitching coach Larry Rothschild.
Prior, who is now 30 years old, hasn't thrown a pitch in the major leagues since 2006, but he began yet another comeback in 2010, even pitching a scoreless inning with Triple-A Oklahoma City at the end of the season after signing a minor league deal with the Rangers. He's hoping to get his career back on track as a relief pitcher.
The Yankees obviously aren't counting on anything — nobody would — but hey, what's the harm?
- phukyouk - Dec 14, 2010 at 6:26 PM
BOOM PLAN B! and by plan B i mean the abortion Pill cause thats all Prior is worth.
- Brian - Dec 14, 2010 at 7:55 PM
wait a second, he doesn't look like cliff lee.
- jhorton83 - Dec 14, 2010 at 10:30 PM
This is gonna put 'em over the edge. Nothing strikes fear into divisional rivals like a dude who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2006. Now they just need to sign Kenny Powers and I think the Yankees could be unstoppable this year.
- mikefrommars - Dec 14, 2010 at 11:27 PM
Kenny throws strikes on the reg… not a bad idea.
- beantownsports247 - Dec 14, 2010 at 11:28 PM
yeah for sure makes the yankees world series favs , prior is one of the top aces of the MLB , dude is a stud
- soutsidemike - Dec 14, 2010 at 11:41 PM
"reunited with his former pitching coach Larry Rothschild"
Great, the guy who ruined Prior's arm in the first place!!!!

moreObtaining sufficient supplies of energy in an environmentally responsible way is one of the biggest concerns of the 21st century. Of all the problems associated with energy production, none is more complex than those associated with the production of biofuels - or non-fossil fuels derived from biomass - including plant matter, animal wastes, and municipal wastes. Obtaining enough biomass to meet demand requires large tracts of forest to be intensively managed, and it also requires agricultural resources to be diverted from the production of food and feed and toward the production of fuel. Biofuels entail their own special kind of environmental and economic disruption. There are many types of biofuels, and they are all used in different ways. They are most often used for transportation purposes, usually blended with gasoline or diesel fuel, but they are also used to generate electricity and provide heat for residential and industrial use. Biofuel consumption may be as simple as throwing a log on a fire or as complex as burning a combustible gas derived from plant matter in a combined-cycle electricity-generating unit. less

Consumer inspiration is the focus as retail stores are redesigned with the mobile-equipped shopper in mind. "The concept of departments and retailers creating physical stores based on departments, that seems to be going away and it is a lot more focused on engagement zones and pairing products together. This is indicative of mobile influencing shopping behavior and changing shopping behavior, because we can shop for everything," said Jared Meisel, managing partner of Theory House.

THIS STUFF MAKES ME BREAK OUT! I don't know but hitting 30 years of age made my face really sensitive to all lotions and make up product. I was reading a review of this product and someone else mentioned that talc makes them break out and on my god they're so right.
Such a bummer because I REALLY love the shadows in this, especially the highlighter. the bronze is a bit too orange but its do-able. sigh! it blends really well too.

I found that the colours were very nice for my skin tone. I bought it in native. I just found that everything was just overly shimmery/sparkly. If your into that then by all means this is a great product. But I found everything was to shimmery, especially the highlighter. Won't be buying again.

Avoid if you're sensitive to talc. It's such a shame my skin is too sensitive for this product as I love it! The blush and bronzer colors are perfect and the consistency and texture are really high quality. However my skin is sensitive to talc, and the bronzer really made me breakout. About a week after purchasing I had bumps every where I put the bronzer. So sad :( The blush is better, my skin can handle it as long as I don't pile it on. I'll save the palette for special occasions, but certainly not for every day.

I brought this because I really liked the Sleek Contour face form palette but wanted something more expensive. I am not sure which I have the shade strip.
Packaging- I love the packaging of the palette its very in theme with the naked stuff they have going on at the minute. Though i am so afraid of dropping it. I can imagine the mess it would create if I dropped it. There are 3 powders together in the palette with no separator between, there is a bronzer, a highlighter and blush. I like that all 3 are together, makes it very easy to travel with!
Formula- The 3 powders especially bronzer are extremely pigmented! Which is fab but sometimes can be annoying.
Wear/Look/Feel- When I have finished with my foundation I apply this (when i chose to wear it I like to mix up what i wear as I have a few different bronzers etc.) As I have just said the powder is very very pigmented which can be annoying sometimes. You need a very light hand using this. All 3 powders are lovely, smooth and are easy to apply which makes this palette wearable. The highlighter isnt too in your face and the blush is a lovely dirty pink colour, which I loveee. This is great for traveling just wish the packaging was more reinforced.
Price- £22.50 which I think is fantastic, you get 3 product when usually you would spend that much on one!
Summary- I wont be purchasing this again though, as now I don't feel the need to contour my face. It's to much effort and for me the pallete is so pigmented that I end up trying to soften/remove half of it anyway... Very nice product and I love it but I don't see the need to contour!

I own the classic edition Flushed palette, bought it couple of years back and use it every single day up to date!
I loved the simplicity of it: three cheek products all in one. What else could you wish for? Now they came out with new colors, but I believe classic one works just as good as the rest of them.
My most used product in this palette is the bronzer though, I am soon going to run out of it. The highlighter is very pretty silvery shade, which is not too pigmented. That being said it won't make you appear frosty in any way. The blush on the contrary is the least used product for me personally - I find it extremely pigmented and believe me little goes a long way with it! Yet the color does not match me perfectly; I am somewhere in between light and medium skin tones and it is a bit too dark for my complexion. But if I tan, I might as well make it work!
Overall I am happy with the palette; if you want to see it in action I found this nice look here which might help you decide to buy it or not.

I got this palette in Strip.... I am not a girl that wears pink so this one called strip is more of a mauve color and I love it! Literally need a light hand when using this palette since its so pigmented... I use the double ended brush with this palette and tap once in the bronzer and then one tap for the blush and thats all you need.... I use the other end for the highlighter and I am good to go.. I blend out and then blend with a bigger brush and it looks awesome.. Just enough color to my face for the work day.... Need to practice swiping all colors at once..
I see this lasting a very long time since you dont alot when using it!

i know UD has come out with many of these updated/newer palettes, but to me the original one is the best. I have swatched the other ones at Ulta or Sephora, and always come back to the original one.
Great color, great pigmentation. I am a NC20 and these shades work very well. Truly a nice, natural flush and the blush makes me look 'alive' without making me look made-up. The contour is a great shade, I did not find it glittery or sparkly, which is a bonus, and did not look or turn orange. The highlight is also quite flattering. I am not big on highlighters, but this one is nice, and I actually do use it, so that says a lot for this product!! ;)
Wears well throughout the day, lasts well, does not turn funny or funky colors, and has no scent.
The packaging is also 5-stars, it is sleek enoug to travel and has a nice mirror. Easy to open and stays closed very well. That should go without saying, but surprisingly not all compacts or palettes (even high end) perform such simple tasks! ;)
Will definitely re-purchase, and would definitely recommend!!

Do not remove this from your vanity or drop it. Breaks easily and is entirely unsalvageable because it's just one large pan of product. Otherwise the colors are nice.

I love this product. I would recommend being color matched before you buy though, so you purchase the correct shades for your skin. A little goes a long way with this set. Great quality.

I absolutely adore this palette! I got it on sale as a whim from feelunique.com and I adore it! the powders are super blendable and creamy on your skin and heavily pigmented so a little goes a long way! I love the packaging- Urban Decay usually get it right! The palette appears to magnetically shut (I think :$) and is super stable so far. It's small enough to be portable and as it contains a blush highlight and bronze it's perfect for when I stay the night at my boyfriends and need to take my makeup around with me the next day! This is an amazing buy and I'd definitely recommend!

Today on Current State: Health insurance co-op Consumers Mutual; the East Lansing Art Festival's 50th anniversary; a local author discusses his book on canoeing and kayaking; and "Ten Buildings That Changed America."
The Affordable Care Act has yet to materialize in concrete changes that most Americans can actually notice, but that is about to change very soon. Here in Michigan, one of the first major signs of the new world order in American healthcare is the new East Lansing-based Consumers Mutual.
CEO of the new East Lansing-based business, Dennis Litos, explains his role in the upcoming changes, how the Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan works, and what this means for Michigan residents, both insured and uninsured.
The 50th annual East Lansing Art Festival kicks off this weekend from Saturday, May 18 through Sunday, May 19. Event organizer Corinn Van Wyck joined Current State to discuss all the festival has to offer, and what the 50th anniversary means to the city.
Since his college years, Doc Fletcher has been canoeing and kayaking the countless waterways in Michigan. One of his favorite places to paddle is on the Pere Marquette River, while exchanging stories with his wife Maggie underneath the blue herons and bald eagles up above.
"10 Buildings That Changed America" takes viewers on a journey across America to examine ten influential American buildings that changed the way we live, work, and play.
Current State's Peter Whorf talks with the show's creators Geoffrey Baer and Dan Protess about their show and how they picked those ten buildings. The show airs Saturday at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on WKAR World.

Who We Are
A volunteer mentoring program for 34 years, Befriend-A-Child provides opportunities for companionship, guidance and support to children who are at risk of abuse and neglect or who have been abused and neglected.
Through mentoring, Befriend-A-Child hopes to reduce some of the child abuse and neglect "risk factors" - social isolation, lack of support, and family stress; and to enhance various "protective factors" - positive self-esteem, good social skills, hobbies, interests, and good peer relationships. Befriend-A-Child can also help encourage youth (with strong parental involvement) to make healthy life decisions and to achieve their potential.
How We Work
Children from ages 5 - 12 whose families are involved with Fairfax County's Department of Family Services are referred by their family's DFS worker. Children are matched one-on-one with trained volunteer mentors. In addition to spending one-on-one time together, the mentors and mentees participate in monthly group outings throughout the year, such as ice skating, hiking, Celebrate Fairfax!, community service, and the annual holiday party.
Our Mission
By connecting at-risk youth with professionally supported, caring adult mentors, BeFriend-A-Child creates a community where children feel more confident and motivated to make informed, responsible life choices and become productive, involved members of the community.
Become a Mentor
Volunteer mentors must be at least 21 years of age and be able to pass FBI criminal record, Child Protective Services, and DMV driving record checks. Mandatory training is required prior to being matched with a mentee. Mentors must make a minimum one-year commitment and agree to spend a minimum of eight hours per month and attend at least four group outings per year with their mentees. Male applicants and bilingual English-Spanish speakers are highly encouraged to apply.
To learn more about becoming a mentor and to request an application, please contact Jacilyn Skupien 703-324-7072 (TTY: 703-222-9452).

ATP Trainer Bill Norris Honoured By Tennis Hall Of Fame
Carlsbad, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
Legendary ATP trainer Bill Norris was honoured by the International Tennis Hall of Fame in recognition of his contributions to the sport. Norris is in his 41st year in professional tennis and is the founding father of the ATP Sports Medicine Committee.
Norris received the 2013 Samuel Hardy and Tennis Educational Merit Award from Hall of Fame President Stan Smith during a recent awards luncheon in Carlsbad, California.
"As an industry, we are only able to grow tennis with the vision and hard work of dedicated leaders and volunteers," said Smith. "Bill Norris' work in sports medicine and rehabilitation has proved vital to improving and extending careers for so many athletes."
A pioneer in athletic training and sports medicine, Norris developed many principles and protocols of conditioning, preventative care, rehabilitation, and recovery that are standards in sports medicine today.
He began his career in professional baseball and basketball prior to joining the men's tennis tour in 1973. Norris worked for the New York Mets upon his graduation, and was named the head athletic trainer/therapist for the New York Knicks in 1963 at the age of 21 - the youngest ever hired for any major league franchise.

The United Kingdom has faced changing immigration patterns over the last two decades driven largely by EU migration, and political upheaval caused by the rise of the United Kingdom Independence Party and the Scottish National Party. Upcoming general elections in May 2015 will have a significant impact not only on immigration policies but the United Kingdom's place in the European Union.
This webinar, with perspectives from MPI, the WE Global Network, and Lutheran Immigrant and Refugee Service, examines the role of economic development initiatives and refugee resettlement programs/infrastructure in immigrant integration.
In light of the recognition of the need for a new approach to immigrant integration policy in the European Union, policymakers and other actors are beginning to look at the role that origin countries can play in the integration process. This policy brief explores the transnational dynamics at work behind the scenes of integration policy, including wider sociopolitical factors in origin and destination countries.
While a number of major migrant-sending countries like Morocco and Turkey have started to take an active role in the integration of their migrants abroad, the role of subnational authorities has been overshadowed by diaspora engagement initiatives at the national level. This report investigates how the activities of origin countries' regional and local institutions may improve the lives of emigrants to Member States of the European Union.
Migration has begun to follow the flow of capital after years of Chinese investment in major infrastructure projects in Zambia. This feature article, based on original research including the coding of 25,000 Zambian entry permits, examines the emerging migration pattern from China to Zambia, as Chinese migration to the country has increased 60 percent since 2009.
Youth of a migrant background are over-represented among those who leave school early in the European Union. This policy brief discusses empirical findings, theoretical insights, and promising measures that may inform further policy action to address the disproportionately high level of early school leaving among students with a migrant background, which results from socioeconomic and other factors.
It is crucial for children of migrant background in Europe to become proficient in their host country's main language of instruction. This MPI Europe policy brief provides key points and good practice examples on what comprehensive language support in Europe might look like.
For children of migrant background, school quality is critical to ensuring academic success. This MPI Europe policy brief examines how European policymakers can support school quality in four key areas: language diversity, the learning environment, social psychology and acculturation, and community connections.
Mentoring programs can target many core needs of children with an immigrant background that schools are not equipped to address, by providing specific and personalized support on the road to academic success. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network explores how European Union policymakers can make mentoring projects an integral part of the educational landscape at the EU level.
Whilst many European countries have well-established education systems, children with a migrant background are disproportionately among the underperformers and face a number of critical education needs that mainstream education policy does not currently meet. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network provides an overview of how education policies can be improved for children of migrant background.
Despite a robust mainstream workforce development system offering job-search and other employment assistance to newcomers, immigrants in France are more likely to be unemployed or in low-skilled work than their native-born peers. This report examines how well recent changes to integration policy, in combination with mainstream employment policies, are supporting migrants' integration and advancement in the labor market.
Drawing on a case study of two Hmong refugee populations from Laos that were resettled in a major Texas city and a German village, this article explores the different approaches to immigrant integration found in the United States and Germany as well as the outcomes for the Hmong and their sense of belonging in their new communities.
In this webinar, experts and policymakers from Europe and the United States discuss the relationship between immigration, residential segregation, community relations, and economic opportunities.
A port city connecting the Netherlands with major trading partners, Rotterdam is, and has long been, home to migrants from around the globe. But the recent rise in temporary forms of migration presents new challenges for Rotterdam's integration policy.
This report provides a first look at the opportunities and tradeoffs that smartphones and emerging technologies offer for immigrant integration, and how they might deepen city residents' sense of belonging. Smartphones can facilitate on-the-go learning, reduce barriers to city services for residents with limited destination-country language proficiency, and improve civic engagement.
In April 2014, MPI's Transatlantic Council on Migration convened an extraordinary meeting with city-level officials from Rotterdam to discuss the potential that "urban citizenship" offers for building new identities at the local level. This Council Statement focuses on the identity crisis that many cities are facing and offers strategies to unite cities, expand services for diverse groups, and foster community cohesion.
In this webinar, experts and policymakers from Europe and the United States discuss the relationship between immigration, residential segregation, community relations, and economic opportunities.
This report examines the development of immigrant integration policies in Denmark over the past 15 years, specifically focusing on the centralization of Danish integration policies and exploring differences between policy frameworks at national and local levels, where certain areas have developed less restrictive and more accommodating policy responses to immigrant integration.
As the initial point of contact for most immigrants, cities see firsthand how both local and national policies affect newcomers and minorities. This report explores the steps cities across Europe are taking to be more inclusive of immigrants and minorities and how these efforts relate to national policies.
Large immigration flows challenge destination cities to find innovative ways to meet the needs of immigrant residents and promote their integration. This report examines the successful integration strategies of five U.S. cities—Cupertino and San Francisco, CA; Littleton, CO; New York City; and Seattle—and offers lessons for local governments looking to implement their own initiatives.

The Dynamics of Pollution Permits
Makoto Hasegawa,
Stephen W. Salant
RFF Discussion Paper 15-20 | May 2015
Abstract: We review the literature on bankable emission permits which has developed over the last two decades. Most articles analyze either theoretical or simulation models. The theoretical literature considers the problem of minimizing the discounted sum of social costs and the possibility of decentralizing the solution through competitive permit markets. In some cases, authors do not explicitly consider pollution damages but instead assume that the planner's goal is to minimize the discounted social cost of reducing cumulative emissions by a given amount. In other cases, authors do not explicitly consider an emissions reduction target but assume that the goal is to minimize the discounted sum of pollution damages and abatement costs. Simulations permit evaluation of alternative government policies under uncertainty. We conclude by pointing out directions for future work.

New Markets for Pollution and Energy Efficiency: Credit Trading under Automobile Greenhouse Gas and Fuel Economy Standards
Benjamin Leard,
Virginia D. McConnell
RFF Discussion Paper 15-16 | May 2015
Abstract: Recent changes to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards have created new opportunities for lowering the cost of meeting strict new standards through provisions for credit banking and trading. In this paper, we explore these new markets for reductions in both fuel consumption (fuel economy) and greenhouse gases (GHGs). We examine the two separate credits markets for fuel economy as regulated by NHTSA and for GHG gases under EPA and find that there are some important differences between them. For example, the market for NHTSA fuel economy credits has an effective credit price ceiling while the market for EPA GHG credits does not. We then evaluate the functionality of these markets using publicly available data on credit holdings and trades through 2013. Finally, we assess the potential for the following to interfere with well-functioning markets: overlapping regulations, lack of additionality, thin markets, and use of monopoly power. We find that features of robust trading markets are missing in these early years, and suggest reasons why. We also explore the implications of the fact that the two regulations are almost fully overlapping.

A Primer on Comprehensive Policy Options for States to Comply with the Clean Power Plan
Karen L. Palmer
Anthony Paul
RFF Discussion Paper 15-15 | April 2015
Abstract: The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2)from existing fossil electricity generators in its proposed Clean Power Plan rule under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. The proposal is based on the best system of emissions reductions (BSER) and calls for states to develop plans to achieve reductions that are demonstrated to be equivalent to those attained by the application of BSER to each state. Policy options from which states may choose are not restricted; the BSER and state plans are distinct from one another. This primer describes the different types of incentive-based comprehensive policies that states could adopt and how policy design features can address particular objectives including overall cost-effectiveness, distributional consequences for electricity consumers and producers, administrative costs, and emissions of other pollutants. We also elucidate some trade-offs that state policymakers will face as they develop their plans for Clean Power Plan compliance.

Efficiency Costs of Social Objectives in Tradable Permit Programs
Kailin M. Kroetz
, James N. Sanchirico, Daniel K. Lew
RFF Discussion Paper 14-32 | March 2015
Abstract: Objectives of tradable permit programs are often broader than internalizing an externality and improving economic efficiency. Many programs are designed to accommodate community, cultural, and other non-efficiency goals through restrictions on trading. However, restrictions can decrease economic efficiency gains. We use a policy experiment from the Alaska halibut and sablefish tradable permit program, which includes both restricted and unrestricted permits, to develop one of the few empirical measurements of the costs of meeting non-efficiency goals. We estimate that restrictions are reducing resource rent in the halibut and sablefish fisheries by 25% and 9%, respectively.

A Proximate Mirror: Greenhouse Gas Rules and Strategic Behavior under the US Clean Air Act
Dallas Burtraw
Karen L. Palmer
, Sophie Pan,
Anthony Paul
RFF Discussion Paper 15-02 | March 2015
Abstract: The development of climate policy in the United States mirrors international developments, with efforts to initiate a coordinated approach giving way to jurisdictions separately taking actions. The centerpiece of US policy is regulation in the electricity sector that identifies a carbon emissions rate standard (intensity standard) for each state but leaves to states the design of policies, including potentially the use of technology policies, emissions rate averaging, or cap and trade. Differences in policies among states within the same power market could promote predatory behavior resulting in a geographic shift in generation and investment in new resources. This paper examines the coordination problem using a detailed partial equilibrium model of operations and investment. We demonstrate that leading jurisdictions have available a rich set of design options that can protect them against strategic predation and, in fact, give them opportunities to proactively advance climate goals, to the economic detriment of laggards.

A Microsimulation Model of the Distributional Impacts of Climate Policies
Hal Gordon,
Dallas Burtraw
Roberton C. Williams III
RFF Discussion Paper 14-40 | February 2015
Abstract: Carbon policies introduce potentially uneven cost burdens. Anticipating these outcomes is important for policymakers seeking to achieve an equitable outcome and can be politically important as well. This paper describes the details of a microsimulation model that utilizes the price and quantity changes predicted by economic models of carbon policies to make an estimation of economic incidence by income quintile or state, and potentially across other dimensions. After taking as inputs the aggregate output from partial or general equilibrium economic modeling, the microsimulation model uses data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE), the State Energy Data System (SEDS), the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), estimations from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and the Haiku electricty model. These data sources are used to estimate the share of consumer and producer surplus changes that accrue to households in each income quintile and state. The model is unique among existing incidence models in its ability to drill down to the level of state incidence and to plug into a wide range of economic models.

Assessing the Design of Three Pilot Programs for Carbon Trading in China
Clayton Munnings,
Richard D. Morgenstern
Zhongmin Wang
, Xu Liu
RFF Discussion Paper 14-36 | October 2014
Abstract: China started seven carbon cap-and-trade pilot programs in order to inform the development of a future national cap-and-trade market. This paper assesses the design of three of the longer-running cap-and-trade pilot programs in Guangdong, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Based on extensive stakeholder interviews and a detailed literature review we formulate a series of recommendations to improve the design of these three pilots, including: strengthening the legal foundations for the cap-and-trade pilots, incorporating achievement of goals established by the cap-and-trade pilots into the performance reviews of participating government officials and executives of state-owned entities, further clarifying the cap-setting process, increasing the transparency of the cap, reducing or eliminating within-compliance period adjustments to enterprise-level allowance allocation, gradually moving away from free allocation toward auctioning, reforming enforcement policy, and adopting a symmetric safety valve to manage prices. By making these recommendations, we hope to shed light on ways that Chinese regulators might adapt cap and trade, a fundamentally market-based tool, to China's economy that has many non-market features.

Terminating Links between Emission Trading Programs
William A. Pizer, Andrew J. Yates
RFF Discussion Paper 14-28 | August 2014
Abstract: Links between emission trading programs are not immutable, as highlighted by New Jersey's exit from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. This raises the question of what to do with existing permits that are banked for future use—choices that have consequences for market behavior in advance of, or upon speculation about, delinking. We consider two delinking policies. One differentiates banked permits by origin, the other treats banked permits the same. We describe the price behavior and relative cost-effectiveness of each policy. Treating permits differently generally leads to higher costs, and may lead to price divergence, even with only speculation about delinking.

Cap-and-Trade Programs under Delayed Compliance: Consequences of Interim Injection of Permits
Makoto Hasegawa,
Stephen W. Salant
RFF Discussion Paper 12-32-REV | July 2014
Abstract: Virtually every analysis of cap-and-trade programs assumes that firms must surrender permits as they pollute. However, no program, existing or proposed, requires such continual compliance. Some (e.g., the Acid Rain Program limiting SO2 emissions) require compliance once a year; others (e.g., the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative limiting CO2 emissions) require compliance every three years. The paths of emissions and permit prices would be invariant to compliance timing (Holland-Moore, 2013) ifthe government never injected additional permits between successive compliance dates. However, virtually all emissions trading programs require such injections through either (1) interim permit auctions or (2) sales from "cost containment reserves" intended to cap permit prices. In such cases, analyses which abstract from delayed compliancemay mislead policy makers. For example, a cost containment reserve judged sufficient to cap prices at a ceiling over a year may sell out in a single day.

Auction Mechanisms for Allocating Subsidies for Carbon Emissions Reduction: An Experimental Investigation
Haoran He, Yefeng Chen
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 14-06 | April 2014
Abstract: One method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to subsidize emissions-reducing activities. The question is how to allocate such subsidies. Allocation through auctions is an emerging mechanism. In a controlled experimental market setting, we compare the effects of a variety of auction mechanisms for allocating subsidies for carbon emissions reduction in China. Besides the conventional auction mechanisms, we place particular focus on testing the actual performance of the auction mechanism proposed by Erik Maskin (2011). We find that, while the Maskin auction mechanism spends the most from a fixed subsidy budget and leads to the largest emissions reduction, its per-unit emissions reduction cost is higher than that of discriminatory and uniform-price auction mechanisms. Both the Maskin and uniform-price auctions outperform discriminatory auctions in price discovery. Furthermore, from the government's perspective, the Maskin auctions exhibit the strongest improvement tendency with repeated auctions.

Designing by Degrees: Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness in Climate Policy
Anthony Paul
Karen L. Palmer
, Matthew Woerman
RFF Discussion Paper 14-05 | February 2014
Abstract: Substantially reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity production will require a transformation of the resources used to produce power. This paper analyzes the economic consequences of a suite of different flexible and comprehensive policies to reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector, including a carbon tax, a tradable emissions rate performance standard, and two versions of a clean energy standard (CES). A technology-based CES can bring about substantial reductions in CO2 emissions but would neglect to harvest some economic reductions because it fails to affect decisions at three margins: emissions rate heterogeneity in the natural gas and coal generation fleets and electricity demand reductions. Natural gas emissions rate heterogeneity can be addressed by crediting clean generation based on emissions rates instead of technology. Coal emissions rate heterogeneity can be addressed by altering the policy to credit all generators instead of just a subset. Demand reductions can be harvested by removing the subsidy component of the policy and allowing retail electricity prices to rise. Harvesting emissions abatement on all three margins saves about 40 percent of the discounted cumulative economic welfare costs of a technology-based CES through 2035, although the distributional implications are different. All of the policies result in substantial increases in social welfare.

The Costs and Consequences of Clean Air Act Regulation of CO2 from Power Plants

RFF Discussion Paper 14-01 | January 2014
Related journal article
Abstract: US climate policy is unfolding under the Clean Air Act. Mobile source and construction permitting regulations are in place. Most important, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states will determine the form and stringency of the regulations for existing power plants. It is widely believed that flexible approaches could be suggested in EPA guidelines or proposed by states. Various approaches would create an implicit price on emitting greenhouse gases and create valuable assets that would be distributed differently among electricity producers, consumers, and the government. We compare a tradable performance standard with three variations on cap-and-trade policies that would distribute the asset value in different ways. Keeping the value within the electricity sector by distributing it to fossil-fueled producers or consumers or spending on energy efficiency has smaller effects on average electricity prices than a revenue-raising policy. These approaches impose greater social cost, but comparable net benefits in the sector.

Environmental and Technology Policy Options in the Electricity Sector: Interactions and Outcomes
Carolyn Fischer
, Richard G. Newell, Louis Preonas
RFF Discussion Paper 13-20 | December 2013
Abstract: Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is in place? We extend the model of Fischer and Newell (2008) with advanced and conventional renewable energy technologies and short and long-run EE investments. We incorporate both knowledge spillovers and imperfections in the demand for energy efficiency. We conclude that some technology policies, particularly correcting R&D market failures, can be useful complements to emissions pricing, but ambitious renewable targets or subsidies seem unlikely to enhance welfare when placed alongside sufficient emissions pricing. The desirability of stringent EE policies is highly sensitive to the degree of undervaluation of EE by consumers, which also has implications for policies that tend to lower electricity prices Even with multiple market failures, emissions pricing remains the single most cost-effective option for reducing emissions.

Taxing Electricity Sector Carbon Emissions at Social Cost
Anthony Paul
, Blair Beasley,
Karen L. Palmer
RFF Discussion Paper 13-23-REV | November 2013
Abstract: Concerns about budget deficits, tax reform, and climate change are fueling discussions about taxing carbon emissions to generate revenue and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Imposing a carbon tax on electricity production based on the social cost of carbon (SCC) could generate between $21 and $82 billion in revenues in 2020 and would have important effects on electricity markets. The sources of emissions reductions in the sector depend on the level of the tax. A carbon tax based on lower SCC estimates reduces emissions by reducing demand and through the substitution of gas for coal, whereas taxes based on higher SCC estimates induce switching to wind and nuclear generation. The slow rate of growth of the SCC estimates means that any SCC-based carbon tax trajectory provides weaker long-run incentives for expanded renewable and nuclear generation than a cap-and-trade program that achieves an equivalent level of cumulative carbon dioxide emissions reductions. Taxing carbon at the SCC is welfare enhancing, but the SCC may not be the optimal tax rate.

Colorful Layers in the Walls of an Unnamed Crater
This image shows an unnamed, bowl-shaped impact crater located in the Southern Highlands. The crater is approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) in diameter and 600 meters (2,000 feet) deep.
The colors depicted in this image are not those we would see with our naked eyes. An infrared band and two visible bands (red and blue-green, respectively) have been combined to produce this false-color image. False color combinations are often utilized to look for subtle compositional differences that may not be evident in true color images.
This image also (enhanced to exaggerate color contrast) shows part of the north-facing walls of the crater, deeply carved by landslides. Rocky layers, mostly purplish in color, can be followed for hundreds of meters, poking through the loose materials that cover the slopes. Locally, the rocky layers show patches of diverse colors (blue, green, yellow.) These colors may be indicative of compositional differences in the rocky layers.

The genuine Kuma_tray.exe file is a software component of Kuma Games by www.kumagames.com. "Kuma_tray.exe" is the executable that appears in startup to run the system tray in Windows for Kuma Games. Kuma is a global leader in episodic games with console comparable 3D action for PC systems on a global scale. They develop interactive online playable capabilities.
The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the Kuma_tray.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as Kuma_Tray belongs to software Kuma_Tray or Kuma Games by Kuma (www.kumagames.com).
Description: Kuma_tray.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file Kuma_tray.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 31,944 bytes (66% of all occurrences) or 35,008 bytes.
Kuma_tray.exe is a Verisign signed file. The file is certified by a trustworthy company. It is not a Windows system file. The process starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run, User Shell Folders, MACHINE\User Shell Folders). Therefore the technical security rating is 10% dangerous; however you should also read the user reviews.
It is possible to do the following:
1) uninstall the software Kuma Games using the "Add or Remove Programs" function of Windows Control Panel (Windows: Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs)
2) consult www.kumagames.com's Customer Service for advice.
Recommended: Identify Kuma_tray.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as Kuma_tray.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the Kuma_tray.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with Kuma_tray. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the Kuma_tray.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Shane Carwin accused of roidin'...
didn't see this posted, so here goes. this article is a recollection of snippets of other articles:
MOBILE, Ala. -- A federal judge today handed down a 4-year prison term to a local pharmacist convicted of participating in a nationwide conspiracy to illegally sell anabolic steroids made in Mobile.
J. Michael Bennett, who was supervising pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services, was the first to be sentenced from a group of 5 men found guilty after a five-week trial earlier this year. His punishment was less than half of the 7 years and 4 months sought by prosecutors.
"I stand before you a different man than the one who worked for APS in 2005, even than the one who stood before the magistrate (judge) in 2007," a chastened Bennett told U.S. District Judge Ginny Granade. "I had no idea what I was doing was inappropriate."
Bennett's co-defendants, the owners of the pharmacy and an anti-aging clinic owner, are scheduled to be sentenced at a later date, and Granade suggested they face stiffer punishment.
"I don't think in the overall scheme of things, (Bennett's) culpability matches that of the pharmacy owners," the judge said.
Prosecutors referred to Bennett, 44, and the others in a sentencing memorandum as a "drug dealers in lab coats." They contended that Bennett played a key role in an enterprise involving rogue doctors and health clinics across the country who used the compounding pharmacy to supply healthy adults with dangerous steroids.
"These are steroids for horses and cows, not for young people and humans," Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Dobbins said.
According to court records, Applied Pharmacy Services shipped 762,388 dosages to 17 doctors and clinics from April 4, 2004, until Aug. 30, 2006. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Mobile contends that does not include many other doctors and clinics that they say participated in the conspiracy. UFC heavyweight Shane Carwin, along with former Olympic gold medal winner and current professional wrestler Kurt Angle, were named as recipients of steroid orders that included Bennett's signature or initials:
- Shane Carwin, a former NCAA Division II wrestling champion who went on to become an Ultimate Fighting heavyweight champion.
- Kurt Angle, a former Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler and professional wrestler.
- Bob Howard, a pro wrestler from Mobile who performed under the name "Hardcore" Bob Holly.
- Tony Freeman, a professional bodybuilder nicknamed "The X-Man."
- Quincy Taylor, a professional bodybuilder.
- Dennis Newman, a professional bodybuilder.
Troy Zuccolotto, a professional bodybuilder.-----------------------------------------------------------------
Emphasis added. To what extent any of those named by U.S. Attorney Dobbins actually used steroids, I'll leave that judgment up to you. We have no way of definitely knowing, so I can't ethically speculate. I'm not morally horrified by steroid use, although I'm sure others out there don't share my opinion. And I don't expect tremendous fallout from this, but it is noteworthy.
Rather than inflame the situation with speculative guesswork, I'll echo this restrained sentiment from WKR:
Now, let's not jump the gun and call Shane Carwin a "roider" just because his name came out in court as evidence for allegedly receiving shipments of steroids along with 2 professional wrestlers (a business notorious for steroids) and 4 bodybuilders (another business notorious for steroids)...
...I'm sure he will be addressing this via Twitter, his website, or select media outlets. All we have is the word of a man under oath and penalty of a court of law and receipts of orders containing steroids addressed to Mr. Carwin that were directly signed by the convicted Bennett.
I'm sure more details will follow as they are released.
While the names of the athletes are not provided in full (the list of the names was separately provided in unredacted form under seal) the chart below from the Sentencing Memorandum provides, inter alia, the types of steroids used and the timeframe for what appears to be the abbreviation of the athletes' names.
Yikes. What's also funny is they keep referring to him as the HW champ in the article, or did i read wrong? but yeah, sad news for the Carwin believers.
