Kyoto's Climate Game and How to Fix It
By Peter Cramton and Steven Stoft *
The Kyoto summit initiated an international game of cap and trade. Unlike a national cap‐and‐
trade policy, the essence of this game is the self‐selection of national emission targets. This is like
the standard global public‐goods game except that targets are met in the context of a global
carbon market. This changes the outcome of the notoriously uncooperative public‐goods game.
The equilibrium of the new game may increase or decrease total abatement. If it increases
abatement, the resulting carbon price will be no greater than the average public‐goods price.
Typically, high abaters in the public goods game will target more abatement in the cap‐and‐trade
game, while low abaters will target less.
Given such a dismal outcome the Kyoto game should be changed to the global price‐target
game. In the same setting where cap‐and‐trade reduces abatement, this game induces optimal
abatement. But, realistically, it must include a Green Fund whose strength is linked to the price
target. This will induce poor countries to favor as high a price target as rich countries, reversing
the polarizing and anti‐cooperative tendencies of cap and trade.
The Kyoto climate summit began stage one of the international cap‐and‐trade game. The outcome was
not as intended. Instead we have "hot air" for the former Soviet Union, business‐as‐usual caps for the
poor, and binding caps for some cooperative countries. The U.S. and Australia refused to play. Although
unexpected, these outcomes loosely reflect the game's non‐cooperative outcome (Nash equilibrium).
As stage one drags on, national behaviors have continued to follow a key prediction of game
theory—polarization of abatement efforts between developed and developing countries. The net result
has been little progress and much acrimony. While these outcomes were anticipated by some, the
rigorous analysis of the international cap‐and‐trade game deserves special attention. Published in 2003
by Carsten Helm and expanded and clarified by Holtsmark and Sommervoll in 2008, it has been ignored
too long.
Originally, cap and trade was designed in the context of a national government that would impose the
over‐all cap. Its purpose was to control emissions with market‐based efficiency. But with no
international government, the first stage of the international game requires each country to voluntarily
select an abatement target. As should now be clear, these targets are chosen largely according to self‐

The crucial first stage of the international game parallels the classic public‐goods game faced by
the world before Kyoto. In that game, countries voluntarily select a domestic abatement level. But
acting alone, a country looks to its self‐interest and ignores most of the global damage it causes. Theory,
observation, and experiments all confirm that such games produce even less cooperation than the
prisoners' dilemma. In the latter game, cooperation increases with repetition and experience while in
the public‐goods game, players become less cooperative as they gain experience.
But the public‐goods equilibrium predicts that there will be some abatement. If a ton of emissions
does $100 of damage globally, but only $5 of damage to the country in question, that country will be
willing to spend up to $5 per ton to abate emissions. That determines the non‐cooperative
equilibrium—the Nash equilibrium—of the public‐goods game. In such an equilibrium, no country can
improve its lot by changing its strategy. Because countries are so small compared to the global problem,
the public‐goods equilibrium is disastrously uncooperative.
To remedy this problem, we need to change the public‐goods game to make countries more
interdependent. Adding Kyoto's cap‐and‐trade rules does just that. Under those rules, a country does
not choose its own abatement level, rather it chooses an abatement "target," which can be met with
either domestic abatement or purchases of abatement credits in a global carbon market. The global
market coordinates a form of cooperation that minimizes the cost of abatement.
Finding the cap‐and‐trade equilibrium is mathematically a bit more difficult than finding the public‐
goods equilibrium, but conceptually it is the same. An analysis of the equilibrium yields three results. 1
• A low price. If cap‐and‐trade helps the climate, then the global price of carbon will be less than
the unweighted country‐average price of carbon (the marginal cost of abatement) in the public‐
goods game.
• Polarization. Countries with high abatement levels in the public‐goods game will target more
abatement under cap‐and‐trade, and countries with low abatement levels will target less.
• Ambiguity. Adding cap‐and‐trade rules to the international public goods game can either
increase or decrease total global abatement relative to no policy at all (Helm 2003).
A simple example will help clarify all three results. Suppose there were four large countries gaining
a $20 climate benefit per ton of abatement, and four small countries gaining a $5 benefit per ton. In the
public‐goods game, they would set domestic carbon prices (with a cap or a tax) to $20 and $5 per ton
respectively. But, under cap and trade, the global price of carbon would be $12.50 per ton—a low price,
compared with the optimal price of $100 per ton.
The large countries would see that they can purchase abatement at this low price instead of their
previous domestic marginal cost of $20 and they would target more abatement under cap and trade
than under no global policy. The small countries, however, would see the global price as higher than
their private climate benefit of $5 and they would target less abatement. Together, these responses
comprise what we call polarization.
But what is the net effect on total abatement? If the countries are identical except for size, total
abatement will decrease 26%, while it should optimally increase almost six fold. Decreasing abatement
is a general result proved by Holtsmark and Sommervoll (2008) for countries that are the same except
for size. In this example, large countries target 2.5 times more abatement than in the public‐goods
game, but small countries target a negative amount of abatement. Total abatement declines.
Cap and trade can increase abatement if the small countries, in spite of their small size, have larger
abatement opportunities than the large countries. Hence the total abatement outcome is ambiguous.
Of course, in practice, countries differ for more reasons than size. But it is still true that those
inclined to abate most without a global policy will target more abatement under cap and trade, and
those inclined to abate least will target less. Cap and trade still causes polarization. The downside of
polarization still drags down the global price, and the effect on abatement is still ambiguous.
It has often been asserted that Europe is more willing to accept a high target because it can meet
that target more cheaply with credits purchased in the global carbon market. This is one side of
polarization. The Waxman‐Markey bill, passed by the U.S. House, allowed the purchase of two billion
tons of international credits per year in order to hold down the cost of meeting the U.S. abatement
target. This too is polarization, and so is Russia's demand for "hot air" and the demands of the
developing countries to be allowed to sell U.N. Certified Emission Reductions for any "additional"
But the outcome of the cap‐and‐trade game has been worse than the equilibrium predicts. The
developed countries dislike the Nash equilibrium and try to argue the developing countries out of it,
while the developing countries insist on it. This has prevented any agreement of global significance and
led to an acrimonious negotiating climate.
Although cap and trade improves the efficiency of the abatement that does occur, it makes the choice of
how much to abate even less cooperative. To fix this problem, nations could collectively choose a single
global cap. In fact, in the example above a global‐cap game could lead to optimal abatement. With
individual caps, a country can only tighten the global cap by tightening its own cap. So it must pay the
full cost of its tightening of the global cap. But if responsibility for a global cap is shared in proportion to
country size, a country will raise the global cap and pay only its share of the cost.
Why has this possibility been ignored? Because, there is no agreement on how to share a global cap
in proportion to size. In fact there is not even a proposal worth discussing. As with a national cap,
obligations would be apportioned by the allocation of emission permits. If these are allocated by GDP,
the poor countries will object, and if they are allocated by population, the rich countries will object.
A different global target is required—one that provides the same global abatement efficiency, but
that facilitates an agreement on how national targets should reflect a global target. Price is such a
target. In fact the advocates of cap and trade already agree that equal national carbon prices are one of
the greatest benefits of cap and trade. And economists agree that if equal prices create equity concerns,
the answer is equity transfers and not price distortions. Unlike the concept of size‐proportional caps,
which leads to bitter disputes, the concept of equal carbon prices is a focal point of near universal
Before describing the price‐target game, it's best to clear up a persistent confusion. At the national level,
pricing can mean either cap‐and‐trade or a carbon tax—both put a price on carbon (Cooper 2008).
Internationally, pricing is not an abatement policy but only a commitment to adopt some policy that
raises the cost of emissions. This avoids forcing Europe to abandon cap‐and‐trade and avoids forcing
India and China to adopt it.
But it would be difficult to meet a rigid price commitment with cap and trade. It can also be difficult
to meet a rigid cap (as opposed to a target), which is why the Kyoto approach is actually "abatement
targets and trade." Countries can miss their abatement target domestically but make it up in the
international market. A price commitment needs that same flexibility, and we propose what amounts to
"price targets and trade." There would be an international market in carbon‐pricing credits. Flexible
global carbon pricing has other advantages as well (Cramton and Stoft 2009), but for now it is enough to
note that, under it, countries can easily adopt cap and trade or any mix of pricing measures.
Having checked international cap and trade with game theory, it's only fair to apply the same test to the
price‐target game. Doing so requires a simple version of the game. Instead of setting an abatement
target, each country makes a suggestion for how high the common price‐target should be. In this simple
version of the game, the global target is set equal to the lowest suggestion. We can test this game on
the same set of eight countries used in the cap‐and‐trade example.
In stark contrast to cap and trade, the Nash equilibrium of this simple price‐target game selects the
optimal climate policy, a $100‐per‐ton price target (instead of $12.50 under cap and trade). This is
because, just as with a single global cap, countries see that they receive much greater benefit from
raising a collective target than from raising a private target, yet either way their cost is the same. In both
games the Nash equilibrium depends on the rules of the game being enforced. For cap and trade this
means countries must enforce the domestic permit requirement. In the price‐target game, countries
must implement the global price (though they will never have to enforce a higher price than they
suggested for the global target).
The price‐target game changes the incentives of countries by assuring them that if their suggestion
increases their own effort (price) it will also increase the effort of all other countries.
But the simple price‐target game suffers from two problems. Some countries, such as oil exporters,
do not want the world to adopt a strong climate policy, and some poor countries do, but will want help
with the cost of abatement. The first problem can be solved by excluding the suggestions of some
percentage of countries with low price‐target suggestions.
Poor countries require a different approach. They have contributed little to the climate problem,
care less about problems fifty years hence, and find it harder to shoulder the burden of abatement.
Hence, they will suggest a low carbon price unless they receive some help with abatement costs, as they
now receive from the U.N.'s program of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). While this program has
been accused of discouraging international abatement commitments, global pricing would be
accompanied by a Green Fund that encourages commitment and a higher global price target.
Countries with above‐average per‐capita emissions would contribute to the Green Fund, and countries
with below‐average emissions would receive funding. Most importantly, the payments are proportional
to the global price target. Because of this, poor countries will suggest a higher value for the price target.
This allows the Green‐Fund game to produce highly cooperative solutions, even when poor countries
are inherently less willing to pay for abatement.
We model this inherent difference by assuming that poor countries see abatement costs (and
Green‐Fund payments) as magnified in inverse proportion to their per‐capita emissions. In other words,
poor countries see present monetary flows as magnified relative to future climate benefit. Consequently
they want lower abatement costs and would suggest a lower price target, were it not for wanting a
higher Green‐Fund payment.
Table 1. The Nash Equilibrium of a Green‐Fund, Price‐Target Game
Suggested Global
Emissions Climate Abate Green
Population Price Price Abatement
per Capita Benefit Cost Fund
Target Target
Country billions tons $/ton $/ton % of optimal billion dollars/year
China 1.2 5 $30.00 $26.04 87% $31 −$14 $0
India 1.0 1.1 $26.04 87% $6 −$2 $4
The Green‐Fund game reported in Table 1 was constructed so that, if poor countries (India)
perceived abatement costs in the same way as rich countries, the optimal outcome would be a $30‐per‐
ton global price target and 20 percent abatement. This is intended to represent a near‐term policy.
Notice that because the Green‐Fund has been properly linked to the target price, India and the United
States suggest exactly the same global target price, which is 87 percent as high as the optimal target,
and this induces 87 percent of the optimal abatement. Moreover, in spite of paying India double the
cost of its abatement policy, the Green Fund charge is less than $1 per ton. That comes to 3.4 cents per
person per day in the United States.
The Green‐Fund game, like cap and trade, assures that abatement occurs at least cost, but in
addition, elicits far more cooperation—a level of abatement much closer to the social optimal. It also
provides an excellent lever for encouraging price compliance among low‐emission countries. And
because the Green Fund is coupled to emissions, it serves as an additional incentive for non‐price
abatement policies.
A constitution does not specify tax rates, rather it tells how to pass a tax law. This approach is no
accident. It is far easier to agree on how to pass a law than to agree on a law without a legislative
process. The constitution makes it easier to subsequently pass laws. Climate negotiations have put the
cart before the horse and attempted to nail down numbers—7 percent below the 1990 level, 2 degrees,
20 percent by 2020—without first agreeing on an effective agreement process.
Fortunately, the Green‐Fund game lends itself to a constitutional approach. A treaty should, in
essence, specify the rules of the Green‐Fund game. Signing the treaty would give a country the right to
help decide the global price target. When enough have signed, the game would begin. To see how this
could work consider a treaty that specifies the following.
1. The voting rule for choosing the Green‐Fund parameter, G.
2. The voting rule for choosing the price target P T, given G.
3. A flexible compliance rule including a global market for carbon‐pricing credits.
4. The voting rules for price escalation, enforcement mechanisms, and updating.
The Green‐Fund parameter, linking payment to the price target, presents a challenge because high‐
emission countries want a low value, and low‐emission countries want a high value. However, it is not
difficult to specify a voting rule that produces a good outcome by giving most influence to countries with
near‐average per‐capita emissions. Attempting to negotiate G without rules would lead to endless
bickering. We have already mentioned a voting rule for P T, and this can easily be improved. The general
voting rule (4) will require assigning weights to the participants. This will be contentious, but in 1974
such a scheme was agreed on in a matter of months when the International Energy Agency was formed.
The greatest remaining concern may be enforcement. Why wouldn't a country sign the treaty,
suggest a high value for P T, and then renege? Consider the simple price‐target game discussed first. It
could suffer the same fate. But what if the price‐target held for only one year and then was reset by the
same voting rule. And what if a country's suggested price was automatically set to its actual carbon price
over the previous year, if it was not in compliance? This simple change to the rules makes the repeated
price‐target game self‐enforcing, because countries really do want a cooperative outcome, even if they
have to cooperate themselves. In fact this is equivalent to the famous tit‐for‐tat strategy that can bring
cooperation to a repeated prisoners' dilemma.
But this is not the only way to enforce the cooperative outcome. As we have seen, the poorest
countries will cooperate because it is profitable. The threat of trade sanctions could be used to enforce
compliance by richer countries. And there is always concern for international reputation and the implicit
danger that reneging will unravel the treaty.
A global pricing treaty of this sort will fail to lock in the antidote to climate change for the next 50 or 100
years. In fact it will fail to lock in any policy at all. Neither does the constitution of any country or the
bylaws of any corporation lock in tax rates or investment plans. The treaty is not designed to produce a
specific result but to maximize the efficacy of whatever political will exists. Cultivating a more robust
political will is not the responsibility of a treaty. The purpose of voting rules is not to make the
electorate wise.
What we need now and for the future is a structure that encourages cooperation and produces the
strongest and most efficient possible outcome given the global determination to act. Without a vehicle
for cooperative action, proclamations limiting future emissions and temperatures will only lull us into a
false sense of accomplishment.

DYSART, Iowa-- In Dysart, when the H.A.T. Team is around, there's no chance of getting lost or going hungry. The H.A.T. Team is a group of six ladies who between them have 300 years of experience living in the town. They give tours to groups of both men and women with the goal of bringing business into the many downtown shops.
"It has come alive. I mean, we are keeping it going, but not just us it's everybody working together," said one H.A.T Team member.
New business owner Mike Svoboda owns the Iowa Country Store and said he has seen the influence of the H.A.T. Team.
"Last year they brought 42 tour busses to town and that's what small business needs. It needs somebody out there working for them and that was one of the big reasons why we came here," said Svoboda.
The team has matching outfits, topped off with their signature blue hat. The ladies say it was a miracle to find an outfit they all agreed on. They also agree on what they do.
"We all feel very honored to be representing Dysart, we love it. I love it," said another H.A.T. Team member.

Men's VIP List
Both Women's & Men's VIP List
This shirt is obviously the bomb dot com. Spurr's button down is elegant enough to be worn alone. The fit and pattern are on point. But also can also be worn effectively underneath a blazer. Every man digs black, blue, gray, and white; a safe choice that will have you turning heads at the dinner table and in the boardroom. This is your new, favorite go-to!
Anything and everything Spurr does is with great attention to detail. This hoodie is no different. The black nylon liner adds an element which allows a causal piece to have the versatility to be dressy. Want to wear it with a shirt and tie? Go for it. We would go with navy or black neckwear. Want to unzip the lining and wear it as a vest? Sure, you can do that too (check it out after the jump.) Jeans and/or chinos with this look? Check. Comfortable and dressy; what a concept!

I have tried a lot of pizza and Italian food in this city and this is by far my favorite. Everything I have ever tried has beyond absolutely delicious.

I've been going here for about 14 years now. Best pizza in the neighborhood (try the Grandma's), tasty pasta (especially penne alla vodka), such good pasta e fagioli, fresh salads, etc. Nice people and quick delivery.

While it isn't the most healthy place in town, if you want a yummy slice of pizza, that is huge for $3 bucks, Driggs is where it's at. It's not open late, and their pies are pricey, but when you've had a long day and don't want to cook, you step off the Bedford L and into Driggs. The pizza is amazing! Dinner for $3. I highly recommend the eggplant norma, huge slice with eggplant and ricotta cheese. I will warn you, it's so good you'll end up there the day after you go grocery shopping!

This place is just fantastic. I'm always so pleased with any slice I order. I'm a big fan of the Grandpa and Bruschetta slices. It's a perfect dinner when I'm coming home late from work, or on the way out for the evening. The different specialty pizzas have varied crusts which is nice - Bruschetta is fluffier and the Grandpa is much crispier. They have a way with fresh tomato on their pizzas. Yum! It's also a nice place to sit down and eat.

This is probably the best pizza place in town. Though the atmosphere isn't perfect, it doesn't have to be, because it's a TAKE OUT! Great pizza, great people, I recommend it highly!

Driver Dan Wheldon killed in massive Indy 300 crash
Drivers had been concerned about the high speeds at the track, where they were hitting nearly 225 mph during practice.
Their concerns became reality when contact on Turn 2 sent cars flying through the air, crashing into each other and into the outside wall and catch fence.
"I'll tell you, I've never seen anything like it," Ryan Briscoe said. "The debris we all had to drive through the lap later, it looked like a war scene from Terminator or something. I mean, there were just pieces of metal and car on fire in the middle of the track with no car attached to it and just debris everywhere. So it was scary, and your first thoughts are hoping that no one is hurt because there's just stuff everywhere. Crazy."
Also injured in the crash were Hildebrand and Pippa Mann. Both will remain in the hospital overnight. IndyCar said Mann was being treated for a burn to her right pinkie finger and will be released Monday morning, and Hildebrand was awake and alert but will be held overnight for further evaluation
The accident spoiled what Bernard had hoped would be a showcase event for the struggling IndyCar Series.
The second-year CEO worked the entire season on turning the finale into a spectacle, and said he'd offer his resignation to the IndyCar board of directors if ABC's broadcast didn't pull a .8 ranking. His goal was to improve upon last year's season finale's horrible television rating and give the series some momentum for what's hoped to be a strong season in 2013 with the introduction of a new car and new manufacturers.
So Bernard poured everything into Las Vegas, renting the speedway from owner Bruton Smith and agreeing to promote the event himself.
He landed enough sponsorship to at least break even on race, and the $5 million challenge bought him an enormous amount of publicity the entire year.
Bernard got the Las Vegas Strip to close to stage a parade of cars, hosted industry parties and a blackjack tournament all to boost interest in the race.
He even got MGM Grand Resorts to offer a pair of tickets to anyone staying this weekend in one of the chain's 14 properties.
But what was hoped to be a day of celebration quickly turned somber.

Starkville author and artist Laurie Parker said she is more excited over her latest book than her 11 previous titles.
"This book is about subject matter ... that I enjoy immensely," Parker said. "So with this project not only did I experience my usual joy in doing a book that comes from exercising my rhyming and collage skills, but I also had the pleasure of dealing with a subject matter that I really dig —no pun intended!"
For both children and adults, Parker's latest book "Garden Alphabet" is an A-to-Z garden tour, using lyrical, metered rhyme and collage illustrations. It is also an "I-Spy" book, giving children an educational introduction to gardening.
Parker will debut "Garden Alphabet," this Saturday, July 9, at the Starkville Community Market. The Market will be open from 7:30-10 a.m. Saturday in downtown Starkville, on the corner of Jackson and Lampkin Streets. She will be available for sales and signing throughout the event.
Parker said gardeners will most appreciate what the book has to say, interweaving plant names and gardening terms into rhyme. But even with the photo colleges and "I-Spy" type of artwork, the book is easily accessible for children and adults.
"For those not familiar with the subject, both young and old, 'Garden Alphabet' is a fun way for them to learn lots of names of plants and flowers," Parker said. "Everyone can enjoy the hidden picture challenges in the book. In my mind, 'Garden Alphabet' is for adult gardeners first and foremost. It is of the utmost importance that this is a teaching tool that can turn children on to gardening, but I most look forward to sharing it at readings with adult gardening groups. They are the audience who will most appreciate the content."
If a flower or plant was mentioned in the poem for a letter of the alphabet, Parker make sure the accompanying illustration featured that plant. Parker said her garden colleges were created through a process of intricate cutting and pasting techniques, making use of old flower and seed catalogs.
"If the poem mentions hollyhocks, then hollyhocks can be seen in the illustration beside it," Parker said. "I was very meticulous about this. My mom and sister together get several catalogs a day from seed and flower companies."
Parker said some of the flower bed illustrations feature well over 30 separate components that were individually cut and pasted onto the collage.
The hidden picture angle is something Parker experimented with in "The Sweet Dreams Book," but knew garden scenes would be the perfect place for hiding interesting images, even those not included in the text.
"Each illustration in the book has a challenge, also written in rhyme, to find a specific item or items," Parker said. "Readers will have to search for everything from gnomes to fairies to Easter eggs. And will also learn about types of butterflies and birds and beneficial insects for which they must look."
Because of the hidden pictures and unique colleges, the artwork may get the most attention in this book, but Parker said she believes the text is the most important part of the book and was fun to write because of the great material she had to work with on this project.
"With 'Garden Alphabet,' I had all the fun plant names, both scientific and common, to work into rhymes and alliteration," Parker said. "Many flower and plant names are inherently whimsical or fairly tale like, and I used as many of those as possible."
Parker said she hopes adult readers will share the book with all the "little gardeners" in their life.
"Garden Alphabet" is Parker's twelfth book, including familiar titles such as "Everywhere in Mississippi," "A is for Angels," and "The Turtle Saver."
She was admitted as a member of the Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi in 1995.
Alyson Karges with the Starkville Community Market, said they are happy to have Parker debut her new book about one of the Markets favorite topics at Saturday's event.
Dylan Karges, market manager for the Starkville Community Market, is excited about a variety of activities happening at the Market this Saturday, including the debut of Laurie Parker's new book.

Samsung debuts new Nook tablet with larger screen
Device maker Samsung and bookseller Barnes & Noble are introducing a new larger-screen Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablet two months after the first version was announced.
Device maker Samsung and bookseller Barnes & Noble are introducing a new larger-screen Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablet two months after the first version was announced.
I'm always in favor of new hardware, but once I buy a gadget, I want it to be the current model for as long as possible so I can feel good about my purchase.
Samsung Electronics today announced the availability of the new Galaxy Tab 4 Education – its first tablet specifically designed to support scalable 1:1 computing initiatives in K-12 schools. The rugged, ...
Apple has asked a federal judge to bar US sales of Samsung smartphones and tablet computers in the blockbuster patent case involving the two electronics giants.
With the new Nexus 7, Google has taken a tablet that was already very good and made it great.
A judge has refused to lift a ban on US sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computers as legal brawling continued between the South Korean electronics titan and Apple.
US electronics giant Apple and South Korea's Samsung Electronics each scored partial court victories in Germany Tuesday in their global war over rival tablet computers.
Samsung Electronics Co., Apple's biggest competitor in the market for iPad-sized tablet computers, is updating its line to include a feature that lets a tablet act as a universal remote control for an entertainment center.
South Korea's Samsung Electronics can continue to sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1N tablet computer in Germany, a German court ruled Thursday, rejecting a bid by arch-rival Apple to have them banned.
Samsung took a hit in its battle against arch-rival Apple on Tuesday, when the European Union announced it will investigate whether it is illegally trying to hinder competitors and Germany blocked sales of ...
(AP) -- Samsung Electronics Co. is free to sell its Galaxy tablet computers in Australia after the country's highest court Friday dismissed rival Apple's appeal in its global patent battle.
The High Court on Friday cleared the way for Samsung to sell its Galaxy 10.1 tablet in Australia in time for Christmas, dismissing iPad manufacturer Apple's bid to have a ban extended.
Samsung Electronics said Thursday it had modified the design of its newest tablet PC to bypass a sales ban in Germany and would start selling it there as early as this week.
Samsung and Apple Inc are yet to reach a deal which would permit the South Korean firm to sell its tablet computers in Australia, and are "a considerable distance apart", a court heard Tuesday.
An Australian court on Thursday said a judgement was likely next week in technology giant Apple's patent dispute with Samsung Electronics over tablet computers.

Hampton Creek uses Canadian yellow peas as the basis for tasty egg substitutes. Spencer Brown
The UpTake: Companies for years have been looking for alternatives to meat, dairy and eggs. Now, a slew of startups have joined the fray with sustainable menus and actual business plans.
Alternative cheese, as its texture and flavor improves, can sell to more than just vegan consumers. The size of the potential market has attracted interest from venture capitalists. Kite Hill received investment from Khosla Ventures.
Non-chicken eggs
San Francisco-based Hampton Creek Foods is on a mission to revolutionize the food system with plant-based egg alternatives that are cheaper, more sustainable, humanely produced and healthier than eggs. So far, the company has attracted plenty of buzz.
In February, the startup completed a $23 million Series B financing round led by Li Ka-shing's Horizons Ventures and including Khosla Ventures and the Collaborative Fund. The funding round brought the two-year-old startup's total investment to $30 million.
Hampton Creek makes a vegan mayo out of plant-based egg substitutes, called Just Mayo, and a cookie dough out of the same egg alternative. These products appeal to vegans and people with egg allergies or concerns about cholesterol. CEO Josh Tetrick said he wants Hampton Creek to own the market worldwide and appeal to those who might simply seek a more affordable, better-tasting mayonnaise.
A desire to change the food system prompted Tetrick to start the company. A friend at the Humane Society told him about intensive animal farming, and inspired him to do better, he said. Shocked to hear about the carbon-intensive process of raising chickens and the bad conditions in which animals are kept in many places, he decided to create a plant-based, more affordable substitute for eggs. Hampton Creek was born, and is growing quickly. With the recent funding round, the company will continue to expand across North America and Asia.

What is the official rule about an after the fact recognition of an undone mask cord in saber?
Specifically, this scenario: Fencer B on the right makes a direct attack and scores a one light touch. Well after the point has concluded and the touch tallied, bystanders indicate to the ref that Fencer B's mask cord is undone, and insist it was off during the point. It is possible, of course, for the cord to have been dislodged during the action.
The ref, however; did not see any missing cord connection, or call halt. After vigorous discussion, the ref annuls Fencer B's point, and brings both fencers en garde at the place where the last action took place.
Correct call or not?

Comments, questions and tips
I made the tuna version of this and to be honest wasn't that impressed. I added more paprika then suggested yet I still thought it was really bland. I also didn't think the roasted peppers added anything to this dish that normal peppers would have. Everyone else who has rated this tried the chicken version, and maybe that is much nicer. But to be honest I don't think I'll be bothering trying it myself. Shame! :(
I thought this was really nice. Made it for an after work dinner and both me and my partner enjoyed it. I made double of the filling and have put it in the freezer for another day. I added cheese on top of the potato before putting it in the oven and i cook the tomatoes out for about 15 mins. I also put it in individual dishes so presentation wasn't an issue.
over all its really worth trying :)
Okay, I just made this from the recipe on the Good Food magazine. It's not the prettiest of dishes to look at - specially after you scoop it out onto the plate, but it is very tasty and satisfying. Definitely comfort food.
The Karyatis peppers were a revelation. Also, I used half smoked paprika and half normal, and I threw in a few quartered mushrooms. I assembled it earlier this afternoon and then cooked it (for 30 mins at Gas 5) as 15 minutes wouldnt have been enough from a cold start.
I'll definitely be making this one again.

The three-week-old Seleka rebellion has advanced to within 45 miles of Bangui, posing the most serious threat yet to Mr Bozize's nearly 10 years in charge of the turbulent and resource-rich former French colony.
African Union chairman Thomas Yayi Boni was due to meet Mr Bozize yesterday to lay the groundwork for peace talks in Gabon with Seleka, an alliance of three armed groups.
"We are waiting to see what comes out of today's meeting between Bozize and ... Yayi Boni before we make a final decision," a rebel spokesman said. "We could march into Bangui tonight or tomorrow morning."
The spokesman said the rebel force numbered around 3000 and was growing.
The rebel onslaught has highlighted the instability of a country that has remained poor and turbulent since independence from France in 1960, despite rich deposits of uranium, gold and diamonds.
The last time rebels reached Bangui was in 2003 during the insurgency that swept Mr Bozize to power.
Residents in the ramshackle riverside capital have either fled or stockpiled food and water in their homes in preparation for a rebel onslaught.
The streets of the city were largely deserted yesterday morning save for military patrols and a trickle of churchgoers. Youths carrying machetes had set up makeshift barricades along main roads.

DANCER Beverly Sibanda, popularly known as Bev in showbusiness, is expected to feature as a medic when musicians play against soccer legends in a charity match to be held at Rufaro Stadium on January 26.
Although another sensational dancer, Sandra Ndebele, raised the heat among fellow musicians when together with Diana Samkange she played the role of medic for fellow musicians, this year, the temperature is most likely to reach boiling point among many musicians who will without doubt feign injury just to be attended to by Beverly.
As was witnessed last year, many a musician sent the crowd into stitches when they pretended to have been injured just to have Sandy attending to them.
It remains to be seen how Bev will fare on the football pitch far removed from the stage where she is famous for her sensational dance moves.
Bev's availability at this year fund-raising match was revealed by her manager, Harpers Mapimhidze, who represented her at a pre-match event held at Rufaro Stadium last Friday to unveil the teams that will be clashing on the day.
"This year, Bev will be coming in as the medic. Right now, she has gone to South Africa to buy new stage costume for her group members," confided Mapimhidze.
Meanwhile, Partson Chimbodza of Chipaz Promotions, the organisers of the charity match, announced that there would be eight teams at this year's showcase.
"The eight teams will in this order: the Print media will play against the electronic media, then Mbada Diamonds will play the Parliamentarians. Dynamos and Black Rhinos - who have been part of this match for two years now -- will curtain-raise for the main match of the day which will pit the musicians' team against that of the soccer legends.
"We hope that the event will become a success and we encourage other sponsors and stakeholders from all over the country to come on board to be part of this worthy cause," Chimbodza said.
He proceeds from the charity match will be channelled towards assisting musician Tedius Matsito who had one of his legs amputated, the needy as well as promoting junior soccer.
James Chiyangwa, the director of Housing and Community Services in the Harare City Council, hailed the charity match as a noble idea that went a long way in assisting musicians and the community at large.
"We are excited to be part and parcel of this programme. It is the responsibility of this city to provide entertainment for its citizens but sometimes we are unable to do so and in that vein we invite the corporate world to come and fill in that gap.
"The city has always seen it fit to support this noble cause by Chipaz and for the second year running, we will donate proceeds to your noble programme. We would also like to thank the sponsors Goltech for supporting this initiative," Chiyangwa said.

Florida Beach Guide
An oasis, a metropolis, solitude, never ending nightlife, rustic wilderness, city fast life… officially the Sunshine State, Florida is still known for so many different characteristics. With due cause, this state attracts over 90 million tourists everywhere. If so many people are all flocking to the same area, then you can bet there is good reason.
Weather and environment
With such beautiful weather, it's no wonder people visit year round. The north of Florida is a humid subtropical climate where as the areas south of Lake Okeechobee are full on tropical. In summer, you can expect the air to be hot in the 90s (32–34 °C) and wet with humidity. In wintertime, northeastern Florida gets weather that can resemble seasons, with the temperature dropping to the low 40s with less humidity. Though as you get further south you'll find the days hovering in the 60s, which is why many people come in December and January to escape the cold in Florida.
The weather is perfect for wildlife to thrive!
With a wet season during summer, if you're in central Florida you can expect to see lightning and thunderstorms regularly. The rain keeps everything flourishing, resulting in a lush, green environment populated with wonderfully colorful flora and fauna. Florida is the third most diverse state in the United States, with over 3,000 different types of wildflowers alone.
If you walk even a little bit outside of the city, you can see panthers, manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, alligators, and so many more creatures that will make you max out the memory on your digital camera.
Explore the Everglades
Florida claims the fame of having something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world: The everglades. If you take a trip out to see this unique and pristine environment, you will realize why conservationists have dedicated their entire lives to ensuring its preservation.
The 60 mile wide and 100 mile long wetland area is a World Heritage Site and the third largest park in the United States. It covers most of the southwestern tip of Florida, protecting thousands of species of plants and animals. Within its boundaries are over 30 species of endangered and threatened animals alone. It is absolutely worth taking a day and exploring this marvelous area. You can go with a tour company and experience a high speed airboat, walk along the dry land trails, or rent canoes and kayaks to paddle your own way around. Whatever you choose to do, just don't miss out on this opportunity to experience this sanctuary!
Gulf Coast vs Atlantic Coast
A debate as old as time. Though all of Florida's beaches are remarkable, talk to local residents and you'll find that people are split as to which is the "better" side. Some people argue the Gulf of Mexico coast, whereas others prefer the eastern Atlantic. With over 1,350 miles of shoreline, there is plenty to debate about. Though we don't play favorites, there are some noticeable differences between the two coasts.
West Coast
- See the sunset over the ocean
- Calmer beaches, less crowds, smaller cities, all around more rural (Ex: Naples, Clearwater)
- White sand and calmer, warmer waters. Excellent fishing.
- Less likely to get directly hit by a hurricane
East Coast
- See the sunrise over the ocean
- More crowds, bigger and busier cities, more crowded beaches, all around more urban (Ex: Miami, Panama City beach)
- Cream colored sand and cooler water temperature with bigger waves. Excellent surfing.
- More likely to get hit directly by a hurricane

America's mad dogs can now get a pharmacological fix. For the first time, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved two drugs intended to help pets with behavioural problems.
Clomipramine can now be used to treat separation anxiety. Canine sufferers display behaviours like barking, chewing and "inappropriate elimination" when their owners go out. Selegiline can be used to treat cognitive dysfunction syndrome, an age-related mental deterioration. Both drugs are used in human medicine, clomipramine as an antidepressant and selegiline for Parkinson's disease.

Chesapeake coach Dennis Thiele said senior pitcher Lori Congdon should be peaking once the playoffs begin later this month.
With a 5-0 record and five shutouts, Congdon doesn't have far to go.
Yesterday, she didn't allow a hit until the seventh inning, and the top-ranked Cougars won their 30th straight game, 3-0, over No. 6 and visiting Severna Park.

Ghana's Parliament has commended China for her tremendous aid to emerging economies in general, particularly Ghana.
The open door policy initiative by the Chinese government has led to massive boost in trade, ranging between $120 and $160 billion between China and Ghana annually.
Project financing by China on the African continent has led to tremendous improvement in infrastructure, crucial to the development of every nation, according to a statement signed by Kate Addo, Deputy Director of the Public Affairs Department of the office of Parliament.
Speaking at meetings in Beijing, First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Edward Doe Adjaho, who led a six- member parliamentary delegation on a goodwill visit to China, lauded the leaders of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples' Congress (NPC) and the Chinese Peoples' Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
He specifically mentioned China's decision to support the Ghanaian economy with a three billion dollar loan, which he said would go a long way to improve various sectors of the economy and eventually raise the standard of living of Ghanaians.
He disclosed to the Chinese leaders that Ghana, through its Parliament, has approved all relevant documents, and thus urged the China government to ensure prompt disbursement of the funds.
Hon Adjaho took the chance to invite credible investors, assuring them that "an enabling investment climate exists in the country to protect foreign investors." He expressed Parliament's gratitude for the invitation.
The Chairman of CPPCC, His Excellency Jia Qinglin, also praised Ghana for its pace setting in governance and economic strides. He acknowledged the legislature as an important state agency, hence called for its strengthening "to meet the aspirations of the people".
While agreeing to the fact that many countries reckon China as the fastest growing economy globally, the country has not yet achieved its peak and therefore could not be complacent.
The Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, H.E. Mr. Zhou Tienong, said China was ready to "enhance trade and other relations with looking forward countries such as Ghana". He admitted that both countries were faced with the "daunting task of developing their economies, which calls for closer collaboration." He also urged Ghana to continue to operate a fair and transparent government.
The six-member delegation which has since returned home included Deputy Majority Leader, Hon Rasheed Pelpuo and MP for New Abirem, Hon. Esther Obeng Dapaah.

PORTLAND, Ore.– Portland Timbers defender Mamadou "Futty" Danso has been recalled by The Gambia National Team for its friendly against Equatorial Guinea on Tuesday, March 29, in Malabo.

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Looking for Soulmate... "Raising Angels" Most of us our earliest memory lies in Staring at the peach or tan polyester fibers of the carpet Rubbing against our knees as we glide across the floor Crawling towards our mothers who nurture us and feed us the Life giving liquid that sustains us and keeps us warm As we begin to grow Most of us soon know We need to show what we have made of our lives Many of us bring into the world Tiny bundles of joy that we once were These tiny little fellas need love and nurture A loving mom and dad so they won't get sad Support and guidance so they will always be glad Reaching their full potential in arriving at their dream It isn't easy for us to be The dedicated parents to spend the endless hours That raising our children in responsible ways require But please do try As in our old age the way we treated them will determine our fate So please be mindful of these things As you seek to find a harmonious marriage And seek a marriage that suitably brings An unconditional love with whom you can raise your child or adopt An angel through an agency All babies need love. Foster children are no exception to this rule. May you find health, plenty, and peace God Bless

Christmas is coming and so is the resurgence of the old, classic Intellivision games. Intellivision Lives! is a compilation of sixty classic Intellivision games that retro gamers fell in love with thirty years ago. While the gaming group is already available for units such as the iPad, iPhone, PS2 and the Xbox 360, it is slated for release on the new Nintendo DS for the holiday season of 2010.
The Nintendo DS, a simplex handheld gaming system, seemed like a perfect venue for classic games. The titles included on Intellevision Lives! include all classic genres, ranging from sports and arcade to board games and strategy titles. Some of the more notable games in the package include Astrosmash, B-17 Bomber, and Sub Hunt. True retro lovers don't have to worry about these classics being undermined by modern graphics and technology. Technology has come a long way, but the Intellivision look is still alive and blocky with this package. Find out more about Intellivision's history here.

`We just couldn't help ourselves': Cooking demos-with-dinner continue Sept. 17 at Bice
- 1:39 pm Tuesday, September 9th, 2014 by M.M. Cloutier
After co-hosting a few cooking-demonstration dinners over the summer at Palm Beach's Bice, South Florida culinary personality Maude Eaton—known as "The Diva" among friends and followers of her For the Love of Food consulting and South Florida Foodies blog—is hungry for more.
Considering the robust turnout at the summer events, she's not alone.
"…We just couldn't help ourselves but to continue the festivities going into season," says Eaton, referring to upcoming demo-and-dinner events at Bice, including one on Sept. 17. "I love the seasonality of local produce and the thought of fall in Palm Beach…"

We're referring to chef and culinary consultant Maude Eaton, the owner of For the Love of Food and founder of South Florida Foodies, a growing group—it first took off via Twitter—of folks in the region who enjoy eating, networking and socializing with chefs and other like-minded gastronomes.
It's hard to say exactly when Eaton's "Diva" moniker took hold in South Florida culinary circles—it may have stuck in 2008 and 2009, when Eaton was chef-instructor and purchasing director at Market Salamander's former Palm Beach location—but either way, she's joining [More]
