is a UK based not-for-profit organisation campaigning for environmentally and economically effective climate policies, with a focus on the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).
Our campaigns are supported by in-house research that monitors the environmental robustness of the ETS, the distribution of allowances, and how key sectors, installations and companies in the scheme are affected. Through small changes in carbon markets, both in Europe and across the world,
billions of tonnes
of carbon dioxide can be prevented from entering the atmosphere; with our analysis and lobbying, we can make sure that's what happens.
Join us in calling for
tighter caps on emissions
and/or take
direct action to cancel carbon permits

COVINGTON -- The Newton County Library System has been ranked the top library system in Georgia by Hennen's American Public Library Ratings.
HAPLR is a professionally recognized system that ranks libraries on how well they are utilizing financial resources, based on the number of people who use the library system and the size of the community it serves.
In other words, "We served more people here more efficiently and more effectively. Basically, the staff here has done a really, really good job and the public really likes us and uses us," said Library Director Greg Heid. "This shows we're really giving the public a good turnaround for their dollar and good customer service."
The ranking is based on statistics submitted for fiscal year 2009. Newton County Library scored a rating of 616 out of 1,000, the highest in the state.
Each year, public libraries across Georgia submit statistics to the State Library of Georgia, including the number of items checked out; number of people who use the library; the number of reference questions answered; the number of people using computers in the library and more. Libraries also report the amount of local government funding they receive.
The state then submits a compilation of the information to the federal government.
HAPLR uses six input and nine output statistical data points to calculate a ranking for each public library in the country. The ranking identifies how well a library system is serving the community with the funding it receives.
"I am very proud of the service that the Newton County Library System offers to our population in Newton County," said Marc Jordan, chairman of the Newton County Library System. "This is official recognition for what we all have come to expect -- excellent library service in Newton County."
The second highest ranked library in Georgia was the Forsyth County Public Library System in Cumming, followed by the Flint River Regional Library System in Griffin. Rounding out the top five were Dougherty County Public Library System in Albany and Chattahoochee Valley Regional Library System in Columbus. The lowest ranked library system in the state was Hart County Library System in Hartwell.
"To be ranked the top library in Georgia is an honor and a true achievement to attain," Jordan said. "We will work hard to continue the same excellent service to library users in Newton County in the future."

East Coast Storm : After Sandy a nasty Nor'easter?
A bad east coast storm this week?
A cold night tonight and fine weather for Election Day. But everything that we are looking at points to a strong storm developing and moving up the east coast. Here's my quick discussion and look at a late simulation that did so well with Hurricane Sandy. With the cold air over us and if the strom track is close to us, there could indeed be some snow in the high spots west and north. This is a high resolution simulation that shows high probability of frozen precipitation near us.
Courtesy SUNY-Stony Brook. Ensemble forecasts (previous blog here) of the "models" are a good indicator of the track when there is general agreement. Here is a late look from the meteorology department at PSU which does show pretty good agreement and keeps the worst of the storm to our east. Unfortunately winds along the coast are still likely to be 30-40 mph and higher gusts.
The main impact again is very likely to be to our north and along the Maryland to New England coast. The storm should slowly drift northeast off the New England coast and NOT be drawn west as Sandy was. With the many folks still without power in the New York area this next storm even with a strom surge outlook well below what Sandy did at The Battery.
The storm will still just add to the problems along the New Jersey, New York and New England coastline. Right now for DC, some chilly rain and possibly some wet snowflakes Thursday then finally some quient weather as we head into the weekend.

Mayors of more that 70 U.S. cities have joined forces in support of fully legalizing homosexual marriage. According to the Associated Press, the mayors of New York, Boston, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Diego announced that they would co-chair the group Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, which was launched January 20 during the winter meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C.
On the homosexual activist Freedom to Marry website, the mayoral quintet declared: "As mayors of five of America's great cities, we understand that the strength and health of our cities are enhanced when all families are protected and supported." The group claimed to know "many people in loving and committed same-sex relationships who are active participants in improving our communities and we've seen how important marriage has been for them and their families."
One of the five, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg (photo), has been the undisputed leader in the push for normalizing same-sex marriage in both New York City and State. Speaking at the launch of the campaign, Bloomberg challenged religious leaders and others who are working to defend traditional families from the onslaught of homosexual marriage, scolding them that "it is not about what you want to believe or what you think is right or wrong. It is also not about what organized religion should or should not do. This is a civil rights issue."

If you have any doubts or concerns about your attending physician not being present to supervise your procedure, you may alter the form to read: "I agree to treatment by residents and interns, but expect such persons to be under the direct supervision of my attending physician." Be sure to initial and date that alteration.If you or a loved one are having surgery, and you want to make sure that your surgeon is actually performing the procedure - or at least that s/he will be in the operating room - you need to take a close look at the Authorization for Surgery portion of the consent form. Be sure that your surgeon is the primary surgeon in the operating room and the one performing the surgery.
Surgical consent forms may include some fine print which states : "I authorize ____________________M.D. and any other physicians or associates as s/he may designate ....to perform my surgery." If you sign this consent as is, you may very well end up having a resident operating on you. To avoid this from happening, delete "other physicians or associates" and insert the word "ONLY " in front of your surgeon's name. Be sure to initial and date the alteration.If you have made any alterations to the consent form, be sure to note this when you actually sign the consent. Where the form says "I have read, understood and agreed," write in "with alterations as so noted above." Be sure the staff knows what your alterations are. They can only follow them if they themselves are informed.
The best way to handle any informed consent concerns is to speak directly to your physician about them. Let your physician know that you desire to alter the form well before the surgery. Have a discussion with your physician to lay out your expectations if you want him or her to be present for, and personally direct, all aspects of your surgery. Ask your physician if a resident will be performing any part of your surgery and what the experience and competency level of the resident is.While no one wants to be labeled a "difficult patient," the bottom line is you do want to have some control, and you can do that by making your concerns known in advance. Since so few patients do use their voice to assert their rights, the hospital may find your desire to make alterations to your consent a bit unusual. That's okay! Never forget that you do have a voice and you are allowed to use it!
All too often, we hear stories about a patient whose wrong leg was amputated, whose wrong eye was removed, whose wrong shoulder was operated on. Most larger hospitals now require the surgical team to have a conversation about the site being operated on and to mark the proper surgical site just prior to the start of the surgery. BE A PROACTIVE PATIENT. To avoid any surgical confusion, mark your own surgial site with a large "X" using a permanent marker before you arrive for your surgery. Better to be safe than sorry.

Military and police suspect the explosion was caused by a landmine that was strategically put there to hit the personnel. Witnesses said the explosion occurred as a lorry was ferrying the soldiers to a border point.
Those injured are expected to be airlifted to Nairobi today. There are ongoing military operations along the long and porous border Kenya/Somali.

In a scientific experiment, the control is separated from the rest of the experiment so that the independent variable that is being tested is unable to influence the results. This segment is often known as the "control group."
An example of a scientific experiment with a control is a trial of a new medication. The patients in the drug trial are given dosages of what they are told is a medication and are asked to report how well the medication treats their condition or whether they experience any side effects. However, some proportion of the patients are in the control group; these patients are given a placebo instead of the medication being tested. A comparison of the data between the control group and the patients who received the drug reveals the actual effects of the drug.

CHINESE investors, who now dominate Zimbabwe's troubled chrome mining sector, have violated environmental laws, leaking poison into Ngezi River and threatening its delicate aquaculture, the environment and downstream communities, a report has revealed.
Ngezi River flows through the chrome-rich Midlands province which is dominated by Chinese investors.
The Johannesburg headquartered Southern Africa Resource Watch (SARW) said the scale of environmental hazards posed by Chinese chrome mining had reached alarming levels as some had even started operations without Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA).
"In Zimbabwe mining companies generally, the Chinese and Russians included, violate sections of the Mines and Minerals Act on land reclamation," SARW said in its report, released last year, which also looked at Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"There are specific cases of the disregard of the environment by Chinese enterprises. In the Midlands province, Chinese companies are illegally mining chrome without the requisite EIA reports. One of them had set up a chrome washing plant on the banks of Ngezi River in contravention of the country's environmental laws," the report added.
SARW's report said thousands of families in both existing and abandoned mines were at risk following the contamination of rivers. An old report by the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) said at least 6 000 families in decommissioned mines across the country were in danger of contracting diseases as toxic chemicals from abandoned shafts have contaminated their water sources and the environment. EMA, which has lashed out at mining giants for neglecting mines once they exhausted mineral extraction, did not mention vice by Chinese investors in the extractive sectors.EMA warned that the large amounts of harmful chromium increased people's exposure to skin rash or sores. If swallowed, some chromium compounds can seriously damage the throat, stomach, intestines, kidneys, and circulatory blood system. It is difficult, however, to regulate Chinese investors in Zimbabwe.
In a much publicised incident, government courted public ire after granting a Chinese firm the greenlight to construct a hotel in Harare even as an EIA had warned of dire consequences to fauna and flora. Zimbabweans providing cheap labour in the fast-growing Chinese mines bear the brunt of extremely harsh conditions and low wages.
Hard labour, exposure to risky conditions, violation of labour laws, long working hours, non payment of overtime, disregard of public holidays and use of Chinese language in corporate literature were among extreme conditions faced by workers at most Chinese interests in Zimbabwe, the SARW report said. "The culprits are the small Chinese mining companies, said SARW.
Most Chinese mining firms exceed the legally stipulated working hours of eight hours per day. They generally work 12 to 18 hours.
"At Makwiro platinum concessions, workers complained that they do not get overtime for the 12 hours per day they work, and are instead asked to take time off. Local holidays are not observed. Protective clothing (if any) was also said to be in short supply, and workers had been observed wearing their own clothes for work."
Zimbabwe has depended on Chinese investments for a decade and appears politically weak to speak out against excessive violations taking place in these mines.
The Chinese built the National Sport Stadium over two decades ago, and recently funded the construction of a defence college, the ZANU PF hall in Gweru and donated a US$11 million plane, fortifying their influence in the country.

Skier Lindsey Vonn Will Miss Winter Olympics Due To Injury
Originally published on Tue January 7, 2014 6:38 pm
Saying she is "devastated" to have to miss the competition, Team USA's best-known and most dominant Alpine skier said Tuesday that she will not be competing in next month's Winter Olympics.
Here's what Linsey Vonn posted on her Facebook page:
"I am devastated to announce that I will not be able to compete in Sochi. I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level.
"I'm having surgery soon so that I can be ready for the World Championships at home in Vail next February. On a positive note, this means there will be an additional spot so that one of my teammates can go for gold. Thank you all so much for all of the love and support. I will be cheering for all of the Olympians and especially team USA!
"XO Lindsey"
The 29-year-old Vonn injured her already surgically repaired right knee on Dec. 21 during a downhill race in Val d'Isere, France.
As Sports Illustrated writes, Vonn is "one of the most dominant ski racers in history (and by far the best U.S. female racer in history). ... Vonn has won 59 World Cup races in her career, just three short of the record held by Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria; Vonn has four World Cup overall titles. ... After winning the Olympic downhill at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Vonn went on to win the 2010 and '12 overall titles."
She and golf superstar Tiger Woods announced in early 2013 that they are in a relationship.
Update at 12:15 p.m. ET. The Effects Of Her Absence:
"Given her star power," USA Today writes, "Vonn has been cast as the American face of these Games. When NBC rolled out its huge Olympic blitz, the first promotional spots featured Vonn. She's prominent in Procter & Gamble's 'Thank You, Mom' campaign and sponsored by Under Armour, Head, Red Bull, Oakley and Rolex among others."
Then there's the effect on the team's chances for medals. "Outside of Mikeala Shiffrin who is ranked fifth overall in the standings, the U.S. women have been less than impressive this season," USA Today adds. "[Julia] Mancuso is the next highest ranked American at 32nd."
ESPN notes that U.S. alpine skiers "captured eight medals four years ago in Vancouver, their highest total at any Olympics and twice as many as any other country. That figure may be tough to reach with Vonn sidelined and Bode Miller, who won three medals, trying to return to form after sitting out all last season with a left knee injury."
Update at 9:40 a.m. ET. More On Her Career:
Vonn's Team USA webpage is here. This would have been her fourth Olympics. Along with her gold medal in the 2010 downhill, she won a bronze medal (for finishing third) that year in the Super G.

Even if I didn't know the title of the exhibition -- "Jesus 2000" -- I would have known the minute I entered the small gallery: I was surrounded by images of Christ.
One painting depicts Jesus standing against a royal blue sky amid shafts of sunlit clouds. His coat, made of colorful flags from many nations, billows behind him as he beckons with his right arm. In another image, Jesus, bare-chested and wearing blue jeans and baseball cap, is a carpenter. And from still another work, a collage comprising digital images of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a somber Jesus seems to gaze directly into my eyes.

The Wollongong Hawks honoured recently retired club great Glen Saville with a drought-busting 86-78 victory over the struggling Adelaide 36ers at Adelaide Arena on Friday night.
Behind 21 points and four three-pointers from exciting import Malcolm Grant, the Hawks produced a performance the 563-game veteran Saville would have been proud of to snap a seven-game losing skid and maintain their tenuous grip on fourth spot.
Ex-36er Oscar Forman blasted 18 points including three triples for the visitors, while centre Larry Davidson dominated inside with 14 points and 10 boards.
"Fantastic, especially after the last month for us which has been horrendous," said Wollongong coach Gordie McLeod.
"We laid the platform in the first two quarters. These guys have copped a fair few kicks in the guts. That's a huge win for us."
An ecstatic McLeod paid a warm tribute to Saville.
"You can tell in Sav's voice how much he loves the game," McLeod said.
"There's no-one in our team who worked harder than Glen Saville. He's one of the best post-up perimeter guys in the league.
"His legacy with our club, the national league and the junior team I was involved with will speak for itself."
Forward Tim Coenraad, who had 11 points and six boards, expressed his true admiration for Saville after his mentor's retirement.
"It's safe to say now that he's retired, he was my favourite player growing up," Coenraad revealed.
"I wasn't going to tell him that before he retired. You can't replace Glen Saville - I don't think anyone else can be Sav.
"There was definitely a bit of emotion for us."
The final margin flattered the bottom-of-the-table Sixers, who blasted 17 points in the last two minutes.
Daniel Johnson top-scored for Adelaide with 21 points and seven rebounds, while Stephen Weigh scored 14 before hobbling off the court inside the final 90 seconds after sustaining a right leg injury.
The Hawks started with a 9-2 bang before fading late in the opening term to lead 18-17 at the break.
Adam Gibson laid out rival point man Adris Deleon with a perfectly-executed hip-and-shoulder which, along with an aggressive Weigh baseline dunk, seemed to spark the home side on a 9-0 run late in the stanza.
As is their style, Wollongong set up camp from the perimeter and took complete charge late in the second period, uncorking a 14-1 burst to hold sway handsomely at half-time, 40-27.
It looked uglier still for the home side after the main interval as the Hawks continued to land killer long-range missiles. With Forman and a red-hot Grant firing away at will from outside, Wollongong opened up a 52-34 buffer.
Anthony Petrie - scoreless at half-time with an air-ball and a near air-ball late in the second - notched eight third-quarter points and Nathan Crosswell provided an offensive spark as Adelaide pegged the gap back to 63-55 at three-quarter-time.
But having finally wrestled back some momentum the Sixers rolled over in the fourth.
Adris Deleon was well held for much of the night but produced a magic solo effort late in the piece. Shaking and baking and twice almost losing the handle, Deleon nailed an off-balance, shot clock-beating triple from the car park, which he celebrated by showing three fingers to the deflated crowd.
The gap widened to 20 before a late Adelaide run in junk time reduced the margin significantly, but the result never in doubt.
"They shoot the ball well - that's always the key to Wollongong," Adelaide coach Marty Clarke said.
"There was a patch in the second where they made a couple of threes and we became very anxious at both ends of the floor.
"We didn't execute the fundamentals of the game well enough."
Wollongong Hawks 86 (Grant 21, Forman 18, Davidson 14)
Adelaide 36ers 78 (Johnson 21, Weigh 14)
Crowd: 3628 at Adelaide Arena

Verizon Wireless to Refund $90 Million in Data Fees
Article Comments 35
Oct 3, 2010, 7:57 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
updated Oct 4, 2010, 8:09 AM
Verizon Wireless has announced that it will pay approximately 15 million of its customers a total of $90 million in refunds for erroneous data charges applied to their accounts. The refund, which the FCC had a hand in forcing upon Verizon, covers data charges that were incurred when users accidentally or otherwise unknowingly accessed data services. For example, users who accidentally launched the browser (and weren't subscribed to a data plan) were charged with per-megabyte data sessions. Verizon will pay the customers between $2 and $6 each.

Given that I was married to an American Jew for more than twelve years, the Middle East was never likely to be viable, especially with Israeli stamps in my visa... maybe now though.
As for Africa, I aim to visit South Africa and Madagascar next year, mostly to see lemurs in the natural habitat. But did you notice the small red dot east of Madagascar?...

Yes, an American Jewish wife could well have impeded an expedition to the Mohammedan lands. I myself am more of a Norfolk Broads kind of chap.

No, that's not a typo. It's the nonsensical name of Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Doctor Brown's new show. Some people call him a "mime", or a "silent clown", others a "sexy physical chameleon who I want to play with every day"… there might not be many other people who say that exactly.
Doctor Brown is on stage before he's on stage. Peeping through the curtains like a child who can't wait to do the school play, he shuffles ever closer to the front row, still wrapped in the long black drapes. The audience is nervous of being picked on, but he seems just as nervous of us. Then like an egg and spoon race, it's off to an explosive, childlike and somewhat hazardous start.
Dressed like a mourning gypsy woman from less enlightened times, he mimes a filmic scene of begging, gunfire, bull-fighting (which leads to a bestially intimate scene), birth and abandonment. We understand what's happening, even if we're not sure why… until halfway through the show when everything changes.
We're no longer observing a comedian who can make us laugh with the tiniest of facial twitches, we're complicit in creating his joyful world. Doctor Brown rides a bicycle, and mimes ringing a bell, honking, gonging and other actions which we're expected to provide the correct sounds for – and if we don't, we get such a look of scorn. The earlier scenes come full circle as volunteers are drawn into the show, repeating the cycle of play, and we end up being the ones abandoned with our own imaginary children.
It's like experiencing the first two years of developmental psychology in one hour. We imitate his expressions, try to understand a way to communicate without words, and take joy in the simplest things, satisfied that we just shared something. Frequent giggling is as much about relief that things went well, or the penny finally dropping, as genuine belly laughs.
And finally, after briefly disappearing off-stage, Doctor Brown reappears for his curtain call and ends the night as every show should, in our opinion: the performer dancing to up-tempo music in his pants. Dench, we're looking at you.
We can also highly recommend his children's show Doctor Brown Brown Brown Brown Brown and his Singing Tiger which is equally as good, but with less groping.
Doctor Brown: Befrdfgth runs until Saturday 20 April 2013 at Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, London W1D 3NE. Tickets £12.50-£20. Londonist saw the show on a complimentary review ticket.
