Tech Plane Flies Better Than A Rock
By Charles Michael Ray
A small team of students and professors at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology made history this spring when they successfully launched and landed a concrete model airplane. The effort was part of a senior design project that included input from both civil and mechanical engineers. SDPB's Charles Michael Ray has more on today's Dakota Digest.

ANKENY, Iowa Neighbors said there is more to the story of an Ankeny couple accused of locking their teen children in their basement.
Paul Drake, 45, and JoAnn Drake, 44, were each charged earlier this week with two counts of neglect or abandonment of a dependent person and two counts of false imprisonment.
Neighbors said the couple tried to reach out for help many times.
Neighbors said the adopted teenagers were out of control and the Drakes were out of options when they locked their two adopted teenagers in a furnished lower level of their home.
A West Des Moines therapist who is not connected to the case, Tim Lambertsen, said it's not usual for children to have difficulty when they come from a background that included drinking and violence.
"Even at an infant stage if they're living in that kind of environment they begin to interact with the world in a very protected or guarded way. They may operate in a system that says there are threats that are around me and then all of a sudden they get put into an environment where there really are no threats but they're behaving in that way from before. They'll still perceive something very simple and innocent as a threat and it takes a lot of work and support to help them understand that this may not be a threat," said Lambertsen.
Neighbors said the Drake's adopted children were acting out in dangerous ways.
What therapy the Drake's sought is unknown, but Lambertsen said the most successful families have as many people in place to help as they can before they even bring a child home.
"The more people you can put in your life the better," said Lambertsen.
Lambertson couldn't comment specifically about the Drake's case, but said parents should have a list of people they can call when they feel things are getting out of control or when they're about to make a major decision that could affect your family for a long time.

NFL Preview - Denver (6-2) at Washington (2-6)
By Scott Garbarini, Associate NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - The Denver Broncos begin the second half of their 2009 season eager to avoid a repeat of what had occurred the previous year. The Washington Redskins may already be doomed to such a fate.
The sputtering Broncos will attempt to put the brakes a two-game skid when the current AFC West leaders head to FedEx Field this Sunday to take on a reeling Redskins team that's simply desperate for a win of any kind.
Denver had been the talk of the NFL world after getting off to a surprising 6-0 start under rookie head coach Josh McDaniels and new quarterback Kyle Orton, but all that glowing praise has begun to subside following a pair of potentially-revealing losses to 2008 postseason participants Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the past two weeks. A previously effective offense was stopped in its tracks by both the Ravens and Steelers, while a defense that was sensational during the Broncos' early run had trouble holding its ground against two of the league's more physical teams.
The Steelers were particularly overpowering in Monday's 28-10 decision at Invesco Field at Mile High, with young running back Rashard Mendenhall piling up 155 yards on 22 carries as the reigning world champs wore down the Broncos over the final two quarters.
Denver's sudden slide has knocked a once-commanding lead atop the AFC West down to a single game over hard-charging San Diego, which won for the third consecutive time with last weekend's 21-20 verdict over the New York Giants, and conjured up memories of the team's epic free-fall down the stretch of last season. The Broncos owned a three-game advantage on the second-place Chargers with three games remaining, but lost each of those tilts and were nudged out by their rivals in a tie-break.
Washington's lack of success has gone on considerably longer. Last Sunday's 31-17 defeat at Atlanta was the Redskins' 12th loss in 16 games dating back to the midway point of last season, and the club will be aiming to avoid its first five-game slide since an 0-5 beginning to the 2001 campaign under then- head coach Marty Schottenheimer.
A punchless offense has been at the forefront of Washington's problems. The Redskins haven't scored more than 17 points in any contest this season and are averaging a meager 13.3 points over the course of their above-mentioned 16- game swoon.
A long-anticipated breakout could be hard to come by in Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, who enter this week's play ranked third in the NFL in both scoring defense (15.5 ppg) and total defense.
The Redskins will also likely have to make do without top running back Clinton Portis, as the two-time Pro Bowler and ex-Bronco received a concussion in last Sunday's loss to the Falcons and isn't expected to be cleared to play.
Portis began his pro career with two very productive seasons for Denver in 2002 and 2003, then was traded to the Redskins in a blockbuster deal that sent standout cornerback Champ Bailey to the Broncos.
Denver holds a 6-4 lead in the all-time regular season series with Washington, including a 21-19 home victory when the clubs last met, in 2005. The Redskins won the previous meeting, taking a 17-10 decision in the Mile High City in 2001. Denver was a 38-16 winner when it last visited the D.C. area in 1998, and the Redskins' most recent home win in the series took place in 1992.
In addition to the regular season series, the clubs met once in the postseason, a 42-10 Redskins win in Super Bowl XXII from San Diego.
McDaniels and Redskins' Jim Zorn will be meeting each other, as well as their counterpart's respective teams, for the first time as head coaches.
Denver's two recent losses have exposed some glaring weaknesses in the team's 19th-ranked offense (331.8 ypg), as well as the limitations of the steady but unspectacular Orton (1838 passing yards, 9 TD, 4 INT) under center. The offseason pickup mustered an anemic 152 yards on 37 attempts versus Baltimore in Week 8, then was intercepted three times by Pittsburgh's fearsome defense on Monday. Both opponents were able to apply considerable pressure against a front line that probably will be without regular right tackle Ryan Harris (dislocated toes) for a second straight outing. Orton has been able to get the ball in the hands of star wideout Brandon Marshall (44 receptions, 4 TD), who's coming off an 11-catch, 112-yard effort against the Steelers, but the hulking fourth-year pro is averaging just 8.9 yards per reception over the last four games. Electrifying return man Eddie Royal (25 receptions) had 74 yards on five grabs in Monday's setback, one of his best performances in what's been an inconsistent sophomore season as a receiver. Talented tight end Tony Scheffler (18 receptions, 2 TD) has also had sporadic production in McDaniels' scheme, having managed only two catches and 12 yards in the past two weeks. The Steelers were able to exploit Orton by shutting down Denver's running game, with the backfield duo of rookie Knowshon Moreno (423 rushing yards, 11 receptions, 3 total TD) and Correll Buckhalter (353 rushing yards, 1 TD, 20 receptions) held to a paltry 27 yards on 14 attempts.
Don't look for Washington to achieve the level of success that Pittsburgh's defense had against the Denver backs on Monday. The Redskins were unable to contain Atlanta's Michael Turner in Week 9, with the Falcons' workhorse amassing 166 yards on just 18 carries and ripping off touchdown runs of 58 and 30 yards on a unit that stands a very disappointing 25th overall (126.4 ypg) versus the run this season. Well-paid tackle Albert Haynesworth (25 tackles, 3 sacks) and linebackers London Fletcher (75 tackles, 1 sack) and Rocky McIntosh (41 tackles, 1 INT) will be counted on to keep Moreno and Buckhalter in check and put the Broncos into obvious passing situations, which would free up veteran end Andre Carter (35 tackles, 6.5 sacks) and promising rookie linebacker Brian Orakpo (26 tackles, 5.5 sacks) to apply heat to the quarterback. Orton will be facing a quality Redskins secondary that's yielded the fewest passing yards in the league (159.9 ypg), but won't have safety Chris Horton (37 tackles) available after the second-year man suffered a season-ending toe injury in the Atlanta loss.
The absence of Portis (494 rushing yards, 9 receptions, 2 total TD) may not be a devastating blow to the Washington offense, as backup Ladell Betts (91 rushing yards, 1 TD, 16 receptions) is a capable player who ran for over 1,150 yards back in 2006. The Redskins did record a season-best 136 rushing yards in last week's test, although a portion of that total came on scrambles by quarterback Jason Campbell (1677 passing yards, 9 TD, 8 INT), with Betts putting up 70 yards and a score on 15 attempts. A more significant loss for the Redskins is tight end Chris Cooley (29 receptions, 2 TD), who sustained an ankle fracture in the team's late-October defeat to Philadelphia and could be out until December. The two-time Pro Bowl honoree often serves as the safety valve for Campbell, who's had to endure suspect play out of a patchwork offensive line and a lack of reliable weapons in the passing game on top of substantial criticism for the offense's woes. The former first-round pick has been sacked 11 times over the past two weeks and 25 times on the year, making it difficult for him to get the ball downfield to speedy wideout Santana Moss (33 receptions, 500 yards, 2 TD), Washington's best playmaker.
While Denver's defense has been pleasantly sturdy as a whole this season, the group has displayed some chinks in the armor as of late. After surrendering a scant 10 points in the second half during the team's six-game win streak, the Ravens and Steelers racked up a combined 45 on the Broncos over the past two weeks. The unit did account for Denver's lone touchdown in the Pittsburgh game, however, with rookie outside linebacker Robert Ayers (11 tackles) returning a fumble 54 yards after end Kenny Peterson (25 tackles, 1 sack) sacked the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger. The Broncos took down Roethlisberger three times on the night, giving the club a healthy 26 sacks at the midway point. Converted end Elvis Dumervil (27 tackles, 2 forced fumbles) has certainly done his part towards that impressive total from his outside linebacker spot, as his 10 1/2 sacks is tied for the league lead this year. Denver's strong pass rush has benefited a seasoned secondary that features three players with multiple Pro Bowl appearances in Bailey (45 tackles, 1 INT, 8 PD), safety Brian Dawkins (53 tackles, 7 PD) and recently-signed nickel back Ty Law. Up front, inside linebackers D.J. Williams (63 tackles, 2.5 sacks) and Andra Davis (49 tackles, 2.5 sacks) have been the top stoppers on a defense that ranks eighth against the run (97.0 ypg).
With both of these offenses finding it hard to generate points, there aren't a wealth of intriguing fantasy options on tap for this matchup. Marshall is the one must-play here as Denver's unquestioned go-to receiver, while Royal would make an excellent choice in leagues that reward return yardage. Betts has become a popular waiver claim in the wake of Portis' injury and should get plenty of touches on Sunday, although the Redskins' offensive struggles hinder his value to that of flex status. The Broncos should be able to run the ball on Washington, but the team's backfield split assigns risk to both Moreno and Buckhalter. Moss is the lone Redskins receiver that merits starting consideration, and neither Campbell nor Orton are recommended options at the quarterback position. Both team defenses have performed solidly this year, but Denver's has been more proficient at inducing turnovers and is the better choice.
While the Broncos' recent play hasn't exactly roused championship visions, the Redskins have shown next to no signs of being a competent team capable of taking down an opponent that's played at a high level for most of this season. It may not be a thing of beauty, but Denver should be able to win the battles across both lines of scrimmage and grind out a much-needed victory to stay on top of what's becoming an interesting AFC West race.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Broncos 16, Redskins 10

The lutz. The costume. Does anyone have any more information about this skater ? I hope she keeps climbing up the ranks!
The lutz. The costume. Does anyone have any more information about this skater ? I hope she keeps climbing up the ranks!
I enjoyed watching Maria at TEB. I love her long program costume--the shirt and shorts. It's fun to see something different from the conventional skating dress.
I know that she is the girlfriend of Konstantin Menshov...I think they have been together quite awhile, but broke up & got back together at some point. That was the inspiration for her free program this year, which Konstantin choreographed. And they both train together under the same coach, Evgeni Rukavitsin.

Being 12, she was 2nd at Zhun Memorial ("baby Nationals") at Feb 2006.
After that she had not so good resulis at National level.
At 2009 she had Junior Grand Prix Event (Croata) and was 4th.
They told "good jumps, bun she needs to learn to land them".
She lost season 2012/13 because of injury.
Did not retire, and after come-back became stronger than was before.
At beginning of season 2013/14 had good results, won Coupe de Nice (in SP landed 3Lz+3T on GOE +2).
After that had injury, and mid-part of season was not so good.
At end of season recovered, and at Final of Russian Cup was 3nd (after Anna Pogorilaya and Evgenia Medvedeva) with good and nice skating, some mistakes, but 3Lz+3T on good GOE both in SP and FS.
At this season her skating is worse that at beginning and end of past season.
She had two GP Events this season (two first GP Events in her life, being 21 years old) - in Russia (she was 10th of 11) and in France (6th of 12, ahead Samantha Cesario and Haruka Imai).
Maria Artemieva is member of Team Russia (at most in part like Team C in USA, some seasons in part like Team B of USA) from season 2006/2007 to now.

^That's very nice.
I didn't know her before but I like her skating. She was great in the SP at TEB.
Her LP is lovely too and I like her costume, although it doesn't suit the music that much.
The white shirt is a great idea but I'm not sure about the shorts.
Nevertheless I find her lovely.

Her coach gave a short interview about the Golden Spin of Zagreb...I had to use Google Translate:
MOSCOW, December 9 - R-Sport, Andrew Simonenko. Russian figure skater Maria Artemyev , who took second place in the tournament "Golden Zagreb pirouette" skated better than scored the highest amount of points Finn Kiira Korpi , said the agency "F-Sport" coach Russians Eugene Rukavitsyn.

On completion at the end of last week tournament in the capital of Croatia Artemyev, participant Grand Prix in Moscow and Bordeaux, showed the result of 166.48 points . Korpi, multiple medalist of the European championships, not speaking from a serious leg injury two years ahead Artemyev 1.33 points.
"I believe that Artemyev in Zagreb showed a stronger horse than Korpi - Rukavitsyn said by phone. - Kiir looked very weak in the short program. In the long program, she had three double jump, and another leap she just did not, drove past. But the estimates for the components at the same time put her crazy. In my opinion, it was not entirely correct. "
"But it is what it is, and I'm satisfied with the result Artemieva - added the coach. - Masha and skated well in the short program, despite the ridiculous fall from stage, she got more points than pure rental at the Grand Prix in France. She was also a jump from perfectly executed steps lutz and a double axel. And in the long program she has proved herself worthy - made two Lutz and avoid the blunders that she had at the Grand Prix in Bordeaux. So I basically satisfied with it work. "
I really like Rukavitsin and all of his skaters...even if they always seem to fall a bit short, results-wise.

Stream a Track from Bruce Springsteen's New 'American Beauty' EP
Just can't wait until Saturday to hear the new EP Bruce Springsteen is releasing for Record Store Day? Here's your chance to enjoy a sneak peek.
Just can't wait until Saturday to hear the new EP Bruce Springsteen is releasing for Record Store Day? Here's your chance to enjoy a sneak peek.
Bruce Springsteen performed Van Halen's 'Jump' in Dallas.
The making of the most recent album by Bruce Springsteen will be the subject of a new documentary. 'Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes' will air on HBO on April 4 at 9:30PM, the network announced today.
We're collecting videos of every cover song performed by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on the 'High Hopes' tour.
Bruce Springsteen closed out the Australian segment of his 'High Hopes' tour in Brisbane today (Feb. 26) with a show that confounded even the most devoted of his setlist followers. Springsteen revisited his past in unprecedented fashion and shocked everyone with a cover of the Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive.' Here it is for your viewing enjoyment:
As if being embroiled in a potentially career-damaging political scandal isn't bad enough, New Jersey governor Chris Christie has something new to bother him. Last night, he was mocked by his hero Bruce Springsteen on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.'
Bruce Springsteen fans temporarily got a bit of an extended Christmas yesterday (Dec. 28) when his upcoming album, 'High Hopes,' was made available for download -- accidentally perhaps -- from Amazon's mobile site. The scheduled release date is Jan. 14, 2014.
Bruce Springsteen and Roger Waters joined an all-star lineup of comedians last night as they recognized wounded military personnel at the Bob Woodruff Foundation's annual Stand Up for Heroes benefit.
Photographer Debra L. Rothenberg has spent more than 30 years shooting Bruce Springsteen. It helped that she grew up in New Jersey, and her first post-college job was working at a newspaper on the Jersey shore. In her new photo book, 'Bruce Springsteen in Focus 1980-2012,' Rothenberg gathers more than 250 pictures of the Boss onstage, backstage and hamming it up with fans.
When Bruce Springsteen started recording a batch of new songs to a four-track tape machine in his New Jersey bedroom in January 1982, he wasn't planning to release an album. The acoustic demos were to be used as guidelines for the E Street Band, who would bring their epic heft to the two dozen or so songs Springsteen had recently written. But something happened along the way to Springsteen's sixth album: The more he listened to the bare, stark songs on the cassette he carried around, the more he thought this was how they were supposed to sound.
It didn't sell particularly well when it first came out, but it has since become a favorite among his fans. On Sept. 11, 1973, Bruce Springsteen released his second album, 'The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle.'
A number of familiar faces will be returning to New York City this November for the seventh annual 'Stand Up for Heroes' benefit concert. Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters and 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart are among a list of initially confirmed performers. Jerry Seinfeld will also perform, with more expected to be named later.

Cincinnati Works is a great charity! I have had a pleasure of working with them for about two years. The impact that they have on individual lives is tremendous. Their workshop gets people in poverty encouraged and excited about getting a job. It teaches how to find a job, how to interview, how to succeed once on the job - things that simply aren't taught in school. I've volunteered to do mock interviews and you can see the hope that these folks have from Cincinnati Works. Then their job placement program works closely with corporations across the area to find and match the right job. Finally, they continue to support the whole employee for the long term with other services like financial counseling, mental health counseling, job support, and much more. The best was seeing a member with a brand new apartment key around his neck that came from his hard work. This is truly teaching people how to fish. I am a volunteer and a financial supporter. ---Matt---

Nowhere. I'm saving for my move to Las Vegas.

I'm not planning on anything, but I'll see what happens. I've been saving money, so I might just go on a road trip. Just pick a highway, and end up wherever I end up
I'm going to Virginia Beach next weekend, still a little cold there but it still will be fun
I didn't have any plans. But I was advised by my boss on Wednesday that a month at a big pharmaceutical firm we're collaborating with out in Switzerland would be good for me and the knowledge invaluable to our unit, so he's trying to make it happen.
The two guys from said pharma giant who have been with us for 2 months each in the last 6 months have both pushed to get some of our guys over there as part of the collaboration, so I'm cautiously optimistic I might find myself there in July. If so, I will swing a week beforehand in Greece and probably a few days afterwards in England. Or it might be Croatia and then the Czech Republic. Or Spain/Portugal and then the Benelux region. But nothing is official yet, even though I'm optimistic about my chances.

I'm planning a trip to Santa Barbara. If that doesn't work out, I'll be visiting Amish town in PA, or tour some civil war cites or go to D.C.
I doubt I will be going anywhere other than work. I'm sure if I ask I would be able to get something if we aren't super or whatever busy, but vacations cost money and don't have money to just spend willy nilly .
I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it.
The hubby and I were just putting together our calendars for the upcoming months:
California (Hesperia/LA); Detroit; Chicago (several times); Milwaukee; San Diego (three times); Atlanta; Fort Lauderdale; Austin; Grand Rapids, MI; Rehobeth Beach; New York; Cancun; Boston; Albermarle, North Carolina; Charlotte; Columbus; Norwalk, CA; and perhaps St. Louis, Wisconsin, and San Antonio. So our vacation is usually at home! lol!
I've been BEGGING my mother to open up the house in London for me and my friends to use. She's yet to budge..
Will spend three weeks in London and Oxford in August.

MUDIGONDA (Khammam Dist): Residents of this sleepy village are yet to come to terms with Saturday's incident in which a few of their own people fell victim to police bullets.
Tension is palpable in the village with people and police ranged against each other and the area continues to look like a battle field. Talk of 'police excess' is heard wherever villagers are found in groups, big or small. They continue to make such gesticulations towards police that are making them to sit on alert every time.
VIP visits and the consolation offered by them are renewing the anger of the residents. "The firing was unwarranted and police resorted to the act without a formal warning," they said and accused Mudigonda sub-inspector Venkat Reddy of precipitating the situation by asking for more force, to evict people who were peacefully staging their 'rasta roko'. "Why should they open fire at all ? They could have used their lathis," says Padma, an eye-witness to Saturday's firing. "The police who used a stationary vehicle as cover continued firing even as people were fleeing," she said.
CPI (M) MLA Sunnam Rajaiah, who is camping at the spot, told The Hindu that the Additional SP was trying to target party leaders on several occasions. "This was the same officer who ordered firing at the peacefully agitating CPI (M) activists in Bhadrachalam earlier this year," he said. Government's decision to suspend the SI and CI has no doubt, come as a relief for them. But they are insisting that criminal proceedings be initiated against police officials who were involved in the 'brutal murder' of the people.

Calibrating Canada's marketsNovember 16, 2012
Environmental Finance
Canada is rich in natural capital – those environmental goods and services which underpin our well-being and economic prosperity. In fact, based on that particular metric, Canada is one of the richest countries in the world. But, like all countries, the importance of that natural capital is not reflected in its economic system.
The good news, based on a recent survey carried out by Sustainable Prosperity, a green economy think-tank, is that this is beginning to change, albeit slowly. Markets are starting to develop in Canada that place a financial value on natural capital. These environmental markets can deliver cost-effective solutions to many environmental challenges facing the country, and give investors the necessary vehicle for investing in natural capital.
Sustainable Prosperity's survey shows that there are thriving markets for air quality, water quality and quantity, and habitat conservation in Canada. We estimate the current size of environmental markets in Canada to be between C$462 million–752 million (US$453 million–739 million) annually, distributed across 57 distinct markets.
Sustainable Prosperity identified all air, water and habitat markets in Canada operating in 2011, and estimated the total value of these markets, using whichever of the three methods below was applicable:
- Information from programme reports, market participants and programme personnel on expenditures for environmental payments. Where contacts provided a range of estimated prices, these were used to calculate the high and low value ranges;
- Aggregating volume and price information listed for individual trades and projects funded; and,
- Pricing schedules and contribution ratios provided by the market registry or regulator.
Where data for 2011 was not available, the survey includes the most recent available year.
Much of the difference between the high and low estimates is due to uncertainty about spending on compensatory mitigation for damage to fish habitats, and the range of estimated prices in the markets for tradable hunting rights and carbon credits.
What we know from experience in other jurisdictions is that financial institutions involved in environmental markets naturally tend to favour the relative certainty of those driven by compliance, such as mandatory carbon markets. Compliance-driven markets account for 26% of Canadian environmental markets by number (15 of the 57), and 31% by low value estimate and 57% by high estimate, as shown in table 1. But, while they are important, they are far from the whole story. As the table also demonstrates, government-mediated and voluntary markets are also each worth at least C$100 million annually.
When considering the markets by type – air, water or habitat – as in table 2, it's clear that habitat markets are the largest. So, while air markets tend to get the most attention, habitat The value of Canadian environmental markets by type (C$)markets are far larger, both in terms of number (39) and value. These are markets to secure habitats against development, such as through conservation easements, or to offset losses in habitat and biodiversity resulting from specific projects.
Despite their significant size in terms of dollars, it is clear why investors haven't taken much of an interest in most Canadian environmental markets to date. First, although on aggregate they may add up to a lot of money, most of the individual markets are small and underdeveloped in terms of their infrastructure and scope. This fragmentation makes investing at any kind of scale difficult.
Moreover, in almost half of these markets, especially in water and habitat markets, government is the main buyer. This likely reflects policy uncertainty or lack of market maturity. In addition, the structure of many Canadian environmental markets prohibits or hampers trading. For some, this is due to practicalities involving the interchangeability of credits or the absence of market infrastructure and price information.
There is clearly scope in some Canadian environmental markets to enhance liquidity and/or the availability of pricing information. There is an opportunity to increase private sector involvement in these markets to help them grow, but this requires policies that enable their involvement while providing appropriate regulatory oversight.
An example of where government policy has set the right framework for investment is Québec's pending cap-and-trade system, set to begin operations early next year. The government of Québec expects credit auctions to raise some C$300 million annually until 2020, which would make it the largest single environmental market in Canada for years to come. Approximately 80 major industrial and electricity sector emitters will be regulated starting in 2013, with fuels from the transportation and building sectors to be added in 2015. The Québec carbon market will be linked to that of California through the Western Climate Initiative.
Investors should identify opportunities to participate in existing and emerging markets as lenders, financiers, and insurers, as well as lend their expertise to helping build market infrastructure. The key roles for the financial sector are as a 'market-maker' – facilitating the purchases and sales of credits – and adviser for their clients.
For financial service providers to get more involved in these markets, their clients need to get more involved. More companies need to think more deeply about environmental risks, dependencies, and opportunities, and how involvement in environmental markets can help them secure access to ecosystem goods and services. Further, investors need to develop models to understand the new revenue streams that market-based environmental instruments can create.
Policy-makers set the frameworks in which investment decisions are made, but the financial sector is the only part of the economy capable of providing the kind of capital that would be necessary to scale up existing investments beyond their current small size. Finance and investment only flow if they can earn attractive risk-adjusted returns, which is why a regulatory framework that provides transparency, longevity and certainty to lower policy risk is so important.
The ideal policy environment provides a policy structure that is clear and easy to navigate (transparency), which matches the investment time horizon (longevity), and enables the financial sector to generate predictable revenues to support a reasonable rate of return (certainty).
Environmental markets are just one of many tools that can be used to protect the environment. When well designed, with appropriate institutional and regulatory structures, they can produce good outcomes for both the environment and the economy.
However, in Canada these markets have been underutilised and many of those that exist are immature. Investors, companies, policy-makers and researchers all have a role to play in maximizing the benefit that Canada can get out of environmental markets. If we do it right, our environment – and our wallets – will thank us.

|North Texas players suspended after theft arrests

Coach Dan McCarney said Wednesday he decided to suspend both players after talking to them following their arrests.
Denton police say suspects later identified as Ellis and Loving were seen taking TVs out of a Walmart store in separate shopping carts without paying for them. Police say Ellis and Loving admitted to the thefts and returned the TVs at a police station.
Both players are facing misdemeanor theft charges.
Ellis played in 10 games as a sophomore and had six tackles. Loving was a junior transfer from Blinn College last season.

Bisexuality is valid. It's not what I'm calling myself as I'm transitioning, it's not what people are labelled while they're deciding. It's a whole other category! Entering the very community you've been dying to belong to and having them reject you is enough to send a person straight back into the closet!
Not to be outdone, a bunch of enthusiastic Christians made some noise along the route proclaiming that "Jesus loves you". This was self defeating because it was essentially the whole point of the Parade. It was just another example of how God (whoever he or she may be) should never be invited to parties.
This weekend, thousands rejoiced and celebrated gay pride events held in the cosmopolitan cities of London and New York. LGBT pride events as they're perhaps more appropriately named take place across many cities every year, and in turn they produce the painfully offensive and irritating question from many; "why isn't there a 'straight pride'?"
Gay Pride has changed largely due to the context it now operates in. Gay rights have evolved so much it is just wonderful to be a part of a country that celebrates difference. There are still prejudices to overcome. Young gay people can still not feel comfortable at school. With the word 'dyke' being used 1000 times a day on Twitter, 'faggot' 4,500 times a day. With 26% of young gay people attempting suicide and 52% self harming and the word 'gay' banded around as a pejorative description of something defunct and wrong, Gay Pride's message should be about sustaining what we have and looking to improve the lives of young gay people. To protect them through education and allow our young people to see that difference isn't bad, it is something to be celebrated.

A Tale of Two Tents
Settlers in Hebron seem more clued in than youth in Tel Aviv
The settlers whom the Israeli government evacuated from a house in Hebron (after making noises about letting them stay there a while longer) are planning to pitch a tent near the site to protest their allegedly premature removal, to hold a Seder, and generally to make their presence felt. You can't help but see it as a nod to the #j14 tent protests of last summer, which eventually brought hundreds of thousands of Israelis into the streets of all major cities, and most notably Tel Aviv, to protest the increasing high cost of living, economic inequality, and power of the small handful of super-rich tycoonim.
And indeed, Shmuel Rosner reports that as the weather turns nice in Israel again (no jokes: they had snow in Jerusalem this winter!), the tents are coming back. Shaul Mofaz, the new leader of Kadima, the prime opposition party, has pledged to lead the protests, but it's unclear that the Occupy-style movements needs formal leadership, much less wants it. (And anyway, Labor leader Shelly Yachimovich seems on first glance to be the more obvious choice.)
But of course, according to Prime Minister Netanyahu, inequality is not so bad in Israel! And, in a sense, he's right! Once you take the Haredim and the Arabs out of the picture—once you focus on the secular or only somewhat religious Israeli Jewish population, the sort of Israelis many American Jews seem most comfortable thinking about, and not coincidentally the group most energized by last summer's tent protests—the picture looks much better. The protests focused a little on the problem of over-subsidizing the Haredim, and pointedly—for fear of dividing people—not at all on the Israeli Arabs, and even less on the Palestinians.
It's fun to make light of Bibi's almost sarcastic formulation: "if you deduct the Arabs and ultra-Orthodox from inequality indexes, we're in great shape," he said yesterday. The fact is, though, that as of last summer the #j14 protesters were making much the same cavalier "deduction." If they really want to change things, they might address the totality of the Israeli situation for the single, interconnected thing that it is. Their fellow citizens in the tent in Hebron are actually being a lot more honest about things.

The  York Archaeological Trust and the JORVIK Group of Attractions organise two major festivals each year:
JORVIK Viking Festival
Over 1000 years ago when York was under Viking rule great celebrations took place during February called 'Jolablot.' The festival heralded the coming of spring and the end of winter hardships. These celebrations were long forgotten until the 1980s when York Archaeological Trust revived this lost Norse tradition.
Recognised as the largest Viking Festival in the Europe, the annual JORVIK Viking Festival is a city-wide celebration of York's Viking heritage that attracts over 40,000 visitors to the city each year.
The festival's programme of family-friendly events, lectures, guided walks and battle re-enactments attracts an international audience, with many returning year after year to take part and enjoy the atmosphere.

Faustus sells his soul, not for riches, but for knowledge and power; Marlowe weaves a shocking an contemporary tale of the struggle between good and evil, championing what is most daring in the human spirit.

For the second time, bank holding company Washington Mutual was refused a confirmation of their reorganization efforts by bankruptcy judge Mary Walrath in Delaware without first engaging in mediation with various creditor groups. Judge Walrath brought up several reasons for her decision that included claims by a committee of equity security holders that hedge funds supporting the plan had engaged in insider trading of WMI debt based on information they obtained during the bankruptcy.
As such, Judge Walrath ordered the various warring parties to resolve their differences through a mediator without letting the three year old bankruptcy case degenerate into a "litigation morass." The parties concerned are several creditor groups (including the committee of equity security holders), the hedge funds and Washington Mutual's committee of unsecured creditors.
In response, Washington Mutual filed a court filing this week in which it gave its assurance it would make several modifications such as the interest rate to be paid to creditors.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Hamlin ready to get back on track
TALLADEGA, Ala.
For Denny Hamlin, coming off the bench and jumping back in a NASCAR Sprint Cup car couldn't come soon enough.
NASCAR on FOX brings live coverage of the Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. The green flag drops at 1 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.
Late Thursday, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Hamlin, 32, would return to the No. 11 Fed Ex Toyota this weekend.
As of 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Hamlin was on a flight bound for Talladega Superspeedway, site of Sunday's Aaron's 499, after missing the last four races due to injuries sustained at Auto Club Speedway on March 24. A little after 2 p.m. ET, he was on the track for practice.
For crew chief Darian Grubb, the game plan is to make his driver's return as comfortable as possible.
"We're going to sit down once he gets here and see how it goes," Grubb said. "Run a little practice and see how he feels and come up with our plan from there.
"I'm thrilled to have him back, healthy and free and clear. Now, it's just up to him and his strength and see how he feels as he goes along. We've been really itching to get him back. The last couple of weeks, he thinks he's ready, he feels he's ready and now the doctors have said he is and we can't wait to get him into the car. We've got our guy back."
Brian Vickers will be standing by for Hamlin. Vickers subbed in the No. 11 Toyota for the last three races at Texas, Kansas and Richmond, His best finish was eighth at Texas. Grubb anticipates Vickers running a few laps in practice on Friday as well to get acclimated with the car.
"We probably will (put Vickers in) at some point to see if the mirrors are good for him and everything in case he does have to get in there," Grubb said. "We're ready to go back and forth."
Grubb didn't seem concerned that the weather could interfere with practice and Hamlin getting back up to speed. Friday's forecast called for a 30 percent chance of rain with that increasing to 80 percent throughout the day.
"We're looking good for practice today," Grubb said. "For tomorrow and qualifying, it doesn't look good at all. I think we'll get some time today either way."
If qualifying is rained out, Hamlin will line up 16th – according to owner points -- for Sunday's race.

Public Transit
Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project
Follow @MidCoastTrolley on Twitter for the latest project news and updates.
Project Overview
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will extend Trolley service from Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego to the University City community, serving major activity centers such as Old Town, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and Westfield UTC. SANDAG will pay for half the project with funds from the region's Transnet half-cent sales tax for transportation. We are seeking the other half of the funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Starts Program. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2016, with service beginning approximately four years later.
The Trolley extension route begins just north of the Old Town Transit Center and travels in existing railroad right-of-way and alongside Interstate 5 to Gilman Drive. It crosses to the west side of I-5 just south of Nobel Drive and continues on to the UCSD campus, crosses back to the east side of I-5 near Voigt Drive to serve the UCSD east campus and medical centers on the east side of I-5, transitions into the median of Genesee Avenue, and continues down Genesee Avenue to the Westfield UTC transit center (view map).
Nine new stations will be constructed at Tecolote Road, Clairemont Drive, Balboa Avenue, Nobel Drive, VA Medical Center, Pepper Canyon (serving UCSD west campus), Voigt Drive (serving UCSD east campus), Executive Drive, and the Terminus Station at the Westfield UTC transit center.
View station simulations for Nobel Drive, the VA Medical Center, Pepper Canyon, Voigt Drive, and Executive Drive.
View a 'flyover' of the Mid-Coast Trolley route.
The project will connect corridor residents with other Trolley lines serving Mission Valley, East County, and South County. As an extension of the existing Blue Line, it will offer a one-seat (no transfer) ride from the international border and communities south of Downtown San Diego all the way to University City. This new service will enhance direct public access to other regional activity centers and improve travel options to employment, education, medical, and retail centers for corridor residents, commuters, and visitors.
Project Need
Freeways and arterials in the Mid-Coast Corridor are generally congested and traffic congestion is projected to increase more as the region grows. The population along the corridor is predicted to increase 19 percent by the year 2030, while employment is predicted to increase 12 percent. The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will expand transportation capacity in the corridor to accommodate existing and future travel demand, particularly for peak-period commute trips. The project will provide an effective alternative to congested freeways and roadways for travelers and will reduce vehicle miles traveled.
The University City area has developed as a major employment and high density residential area, similar to Downtown San Diego. Although University City is considered San Diego's second downtown and UCSD is one of the region's largest trip generators, neither is directly served by regional transit. The Mid-Coast Trolley Extension will provide efficient transit connections to University City, UCSD, as well as frequent and reliable, Trolley service throughout the corridor. Effective transit that is competitive with the automobile will attract riders to transit, improve regional mobility, and help maintain and enhance San Diego's quality of life.
Project Status
In November 2014, the Mid-Coast Trolley received its final environmental clearance from the SANDAG Board of Directors. The Mid-Coast Trolley is now poised to compete for federal funding and move forward into construction.
The next step for the project is to seek approval from the FTA to enter into final engineering and to secure a full funding grant agreement (FFGA) from the FTA's New Starts program. Anticipated in late 2015, the FFGA would provide 50 percent of the project funding. Including financing, the project is expected to cost approximately $2 billion, with half coming from the FFGA and half from the region's TransNet half-cent sales tax for transportation.
Contracting Opportunities
Construction on the Mid-Coast Trolley is anticipated to start in late 2015, with service beginning approximately four years later. In May 2014, the SANDAG Board of Directors selected Mid Coast Transit Constructors, a joint venture firm of Stacy & Witbeck, Inc., Skanska USA, and Herzog Contracting Corporation, to serve as the construction manager/general contractor for the project.
Companies interested in contracting opportunities on the Mid-Coast Trolley project can find more information here.
Small contractors and disadvantaged business enterprises interesting in working on SANDAG projects also can find more information here.
Public Involvement
A comprehensive public involvement effort is underway to communicate information about the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project and seek input from the public.
Here are some ways you can become involved:
• Attend meetings of the Project Working Group (PWG). The PWG is composed of a variety of members representing constituencies in the Mid-Coast Corridor, including UCSD, community planning groups, environmental groups, employers, and transportation advocates. They are providing input to SANDAG throughout the project development process. Members of the public are invited to view meeting agendas, minutes, and meeting materials, as well as attend meetings.
• Sign-up for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project eNewsletter.
• Participate in public meetings.
• Attend SANDAG Transportation Committee and Board of Directors meetings when the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project is presented.
• Provide written comments on draft documents when they become available for public review.
• Request a presentation by SANDAG staff for your neighborhood association or civic group by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com or (619) 595-5620.
Funding Status
The project has been identified as a high-priority project by SANDAG and is part of the TransNet Early Action Program. TransNet will provide 50 percent of the funding for the project, and SANDAG is seeking the remaining funds from the federal New Starts program. TransNet also will provide operating funds for the service through the year 2048.
The current project budget is $1.7 billon, exclusive of financing costs.

An Australian weatherman has found himself the butt of his colleagues' jokes after a pelican repeatedly bit his backside during a live broadcast.
Steve Jacobs of Channel 9's Today Show was describing pelicans at Sydney's Taronga Zoo before his national weather report earlier this month when one of the birds lunged at him.
Mr. Jacobs kept broadcasting, but the pelican attacked again, pecking his behind until a zoo staffer pulled the bird off the weatherman, who was both screaming and laughing.
Jacobs wasn't hurt, but he had to endure his co-workers' teasing. Host Karl Stefanovic quipped: "Not the first time he's been pinched in the butt by a bird."

A stable, long-term marriage can be good for your health. Divorce or widowhood, on the other hand, leaves lasting scars on the health of middle-aged and older people that remarriage may reduce but cannot entirely erase.
According to a University of Chicago study, divorced or widowed people have 20 percent more chronic health conditions, such as heart disease or cancer, than married people. They also have 23 percent more mobility limitations, such as trouble climbing stairs or walking a block.
People who have never married have 12 percent more mobility limitations and 13 percent more depressive symptoms than married people, but report no difference in the number of chronic health conditions.
People who have remarried have 12 percent more chronic conditions and 19 percent more mobility limitations, but no more depressive symptoms that those continuously married.
The impacts of marriage, divorce and remarriage upon health are based on the ways in which various illnesses develop and heal, said Mary Elizabeth Waites, an assistant professor and the study's author.
"Some health situations, like depression, seem to respond both quickly and strongly to changes in current conditions. In contrast, conditions such as diabetes and heart disease develop slowly over a substantial period and show the impact of past experiences, which is why health is undermined by divorce or widowhood, even when a person remarries."
