Fedora Needs Your Help Testing GNOME 3.0
With Canonical ditching the GNOME 3.0 Shell in favor of their custom-developed Unity Desktop, one of the first Linux distributions where you'll see GNOME 3.0 shipping in full "out of the box" is Fedora 15. Fedora 15 is set to be released at the end of May, but a beta release happens to be coming out today. Additionally, this Thursday they're looking for your help in testing out GNOME 3.0.

GNOME 3.0 Laptop Change Frustrates Some Users
On a GNOME 2.x desktop if you are a laptop owner you can control what happens when you close your laptop's lid from the power management preferences whether to suspend the system or simply blank the screen. With GNOME 3.0, when you close your laptop's lid, the system will suspend and there will be no user-interface for changing this policy. It's a design decision for the GNOME 3.0 desktop.

The GNOME 3.0 Shell Is Advancing Too
Last night an update was published as to the state of Unity in Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 1, which is the Unity desktop interface that Canonical will be using in their next Ubuntu release rather than the GNOME Shell. Most all other GNOME distributions, however, will be using the GNOME Shell with GNOME 3.0 when released in March. As it so happens, another development snapshot of the GNOME Shell arrived last night too.

This Is Cool: An HTML5 Back-End For GTK3
Version 3.0 of GTK+ that is set for introduction with GNOME 3.0 already boasts a bold feature set. GTK+ 3.0 is less dependent on X11 (meaning it can work with Wayland and better support on Mac OS X, etc), provides X Input 2 support, uses Cairo more for drawing, eliminates DirectFB support, and boasts cleaner rendering. A new feature though for GTK+3 is being worked on and its quite interesting: an HTML back-end that allows GTK applications to run natively within a HTML5 web-browser off a web server.

Cayo Largo Things to Do
Playa Sirena
Playa Sirena is 2.3 km long, the beach is sheltered & the sea was calm. As the afternoon temperature was in the 30's, I spent a lot of my time here in the shade under a palm tree. There is one main restaurant & bar here, although a couple of shacks on the beach sold drinks. There were a couple of stalls selling souvenirs & handicrafts. Apart from...more
Natural swimming pool
Just off Cayo Largo the sea is so shallow due to the reefs & high sand dunes that a natural swimming pool has been formed.Standing in the clear warm sea with the blue sky above was a truly unforgettable experience. We were the the only boat there at the time & it felt just like paradise.more
Marina Cayo Largo
There are boat trips available here to take you around the Island & to scuba diving & fishing sites. These can be booked at the marina & fishing equipment can be hired too. At the marina there is a small bar which sells snacks as well drinks, an ideal place to sit & relax prior to or after your boat trip.more
Cayo Iguana
This was the first stop on a catamaran cruise from the marina. It is a tiny island inhabited by iguanas, you can walk around and take photos of them. Seeing traces of litter on the island combined with someone trying to feed one a sandwich made me think perhaps it may be better if tourists didn't visit the island.more

I found this to be a compelling book of renewal, both material and spiritual. We join the story as 52 year old Rae newborn is waving goodbye to her family after being dropped off on a deserted island. On this island she plans to rebuild a house that had originally been built by her great uncle. She also hopes to rebuild herself after fighting her way through severe depression.
During construction of the house we learn all about Rae's past, the reasons behind her depression and her fears. We also learn about her great uncle Desmond and the mystery surrounding his life and death.
But while everything appears to be progressing well, we get a sense that something is not quite right. Someone appears to be trying to find her and she continues to get the feeling she is being watched, but is never sure whether that's part of her mental problems or that it's actually happening.
Suspense builds steadily with some remarkable discoveries taking place. I found the last 100 pages or so were filled with unexpected twists and revelations. This is a very enjoyable book containing a terrific story of discovery and renewal coupled with a very interesting mystery and tense finale.
4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing story about a woman recovering from trauma.,
doctor_beth "doctor_beth" (Upstate NY USA) - See all my reviews
Rae Newborn is a 50-something woman who has struggled with mental illness virtually all of her adult life. However, after she is attacked in an attempted rape a few short weeks after her beloved husband and young daughter are killed in a car accident, she goes over the edge, spending months in a mental institution. When she finally begins to emerge on the path to recovery, she makes a decision to head for an isolated, unhabited (fictional) island off the coast of Washington state. Years before, Rae's uncle had come to the same island for peace and solitude and had built himself a home; when his near-completed house burnt almost to the ground, he disappeared. Rae, formerly a well-known furniture-maker and artist, resolves to rebuild her Uncle Desmond's house despite how "crazy" this might seem to others, including her grown daughter. The book mostly details Rae's thoughts and reflections as she works on her house in solitude, although she receives occasional visits from her supply boat, the local sheriff, and a female park ranger. Interspersed throughout the story are selections from Rae's own journal as well as that of her Uncle Desmond, which she uncovers in the course of her labors. The theme is that of a woman building her future (literally) while still recovering from her traumatic past. There's a few surprising twists thown in at the end, although the climatic conflict of the book was over quickly and a little too neatly. Other than that, however, the book was an enjoyable and engaging read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Psychological suspense, family mystery on deserted isle,
This review is from: Folly (Paperback)
"What does it mean to lose one's mind? Where does it go? What is sane when the world is mad by contrast?" So reads a 1918 entry in the diary of Rae Newborn's Great-Uncle Desmond, the first builder of the "Folly" or great house on a lonely 150 acre island in the San Juan chain in the Pacific Northwest.
Rae, an internationally known expert in wordworking, plans to recreate Uncle Desmond's house using only a picture taken 70 years ago. Subject to depression her whole life, and recovering from a complete breakdown after a drunken driver killed her husband and 9 year old daughter, Rae comes to Folly Island after a year in a mental institution. Rae's journey to Folly has come to mirror Desmond's--an effort to rebuild his house in an attempt to rebuild her life.
Desmond, considered a misfit after physical and psychological injuries sustained in World War I, escapes from the Newborn's oppressive Boston household to the freedom of the beautiful Sanctuary Islan, which was renamed Folly Island after Desmond's building attempt. Desmond's history comes out during Rae's stay on the island and she is particularly troubled with what seems to be a family history of madness.
She struggles to overcome her own panic and fears on the island, all the while feeling someone is watching her. Her lawyer gets a message to her that someone paid thugs to attack her two years ago--the final event that triggered her breakdown. She also is told the her greedy son-in-law is trying to declare her mentally incompetent, so he can get control of her sizable fortune. Then things begin to disappear around her camp, disrupting the stability her almost finished house has given her. Her past and present family mystery deepens when she finds the 70 year old skeleton of Desmond in a cave near the house. Who killed Desmond and why? Who is still stalking her? Are they trying to trigger another breakdown or suicide attempt?
Despite her isolation, Rae makes friends with a number of locals: a handsome sheriff, an infuriatingly perky but well meaning ranger and a shady but reliable boatman is her lifeline to the outside world. A beacon in an otherwise stormy life is Rae's granddaughter Petra, the only family member she feels close to. During Petra's visit to the island, Rae must call upon her inner strength and resources to protect them from an outside foe focused on revenge.
While a departure from Laurie R. King's Mary Russell or Kate Martinelli series, Folly is a chilling novel featuring an unforgettable heroine and her struggle over her internal and external demons. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Folly (Paperback)
If I had been given this book to read without knowing the author's name, and when finished, was told that she was Laurie R. King, I would not have believed it. I've experienced and appreciated her immense talent and versatility across several genres, but I can hear her brilliantly and deftly rendered Holmes snapping, "Good God, Russell, are you daft? Put that book down before it renders you unconscious!" In short, this was one of the most boring books I've ever read. Details are important in getting to know a character and what makes them tick, their passions, eccentricities, their psychology, and there is some of that, but not enough. Instead, Ms. King spends seemingly endless pages focusing closer and closer on the main character's craft of woodworking/sculpting-cum-housebuilding. After getting a little tidbit of character insight, the reader is then forced to read detailed descriptions of tools: what they are, their history, what they look like, how they feel, what they sound like, what they look like hanging from a belt, and so on. This method of extrapolation is extended to all aspects of whatever can be done with tools, guns, camping equipment, and even severe depression, on and on and on, until you get to the next tiny piece of succinct but well written detail that makes you think, "At last, we get to the real reason for being here!". This doesn't happen, at least for me. Taking a cue from the author's thanks to some "courageous individuals", whose struggles with mental illness she apparently tapped, her attempts to convey what it's like to be severely depressed sounds exactly as if she's writing, or rewriting, what someone tried to convey. As a psychotherapist, I've seen that this is pretty much next-to-impossible to do, as people struggling with such challenges also struggle with the fact that they can never quite explain what it's like to someone else. Hence, the attempt to instill the main character with convincing affect falls short. Maybe that was the author's intention.
Some reviewers like to describe this as "slow starting". This is true, but it never ends. I can compare it best to the scientific cliché that asks us to imagine taking all the space away between the molecules of say, a redwood tree, and you end up with a sliver of wood you can barely discern. Take away all this "filler" in this story, and you end up with characters as substantial as toothpicks.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of King's best efforts!,
Cathy Wright (Port Ludlow, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Folly (Paperback)
Having read and loved both the Mary Russell and Kate Martinelli series' by King, I expected a similar read with Folly, but I was surprised and pleased to see her go in an entirely different direction with this astonishing, heartbreaking and ultimately victorious work of fiction. While King's series work plots complex mysteries with strong characters, Folly is more a character study, with a 50-ish woman in the unlikely role of heroine.
Rae Newborn has endured tragedies and loss that would destroy a weaker woman, and while she has faltered, she has not fallen. Instead she finds redemption in a house-building project that she tackles alone, on a desolate northwest Washington State island. King uses the metaphor of house construction to underline Rae's rebuilding of her shattered psyche, one layer at a time; she gives older women readers insight and hope as she slowly tears down the old, then begins constructing the new, developing Rae's muscles and physical stamina to parallel her slowly evolving mental and emotional health.
I loved the character of Rae Newborn for her own life's "folly" of attempting the incredible task of building a house. I cried for her tragedies and losses and suicide attempts. I was angry at her family members (like I would be at my own) if they could not, or would not, see the person beneath the title of Mother or Daughter, Aunt or Niece, etc. I cheered at the characters who fought to befriend the frightened, desperate Rae when she tried so hard to stand in isolation rather than chance loss once more.
Mostly I hated the last pages of this book, because they WERE the last pages and I would have to leave Rae Newborn, when I wanted to stay with her on that island, or wherever life took her, forever. She became my sister, my friend, my hero.
While Folly contains mysterious pieces of a soon-to-be-solved puzzle and some edge of the seat suspense, it can't be pigeonholed as just another Mystery or Thriller. It is so much more! Don't let the words of those who believe themselves critics deny you this unforgettable story - if you truly love good fiction you will enjoy this novel while you read it, and for years to come as you recall its lessons, its hope and its beauty.
4.0 out of 5 stars Laurie King,
V. B. Earle (pittsburgh, pa USA) - See all my reviews
Laurie King continues to deliver quality in her most recent Folly. Rae Newborn escapes to the San Juan Islands in the Pacific northwest after a family tragedy that culminates in mental collapse. In a last ditch attempt to rebuild her spirit Rae Newborn takes on the monumental task of rebuilding a burned-out house she inherits from a mysterious relative. The theme of tension necessary to build a house is mirrored in the tension of this story. Is Rae Newborn's paranoia wholly a result of her mental instability, or is there real danger lurking on the island of Folly? This woman's tragedy and her heroic confrontation of depression, nature, the monumental task of house building strike a deep resonance. Through her we meet the quirky residents of the San Juan Islands, we explore her murky family history, and we share her innermost paranoia. The twist at the end, although not unexpected and not as effective as it could be, nonetheless works to give a satisfactory ending to this good story. As always Laurie King doesn't stint her readers, but instead presents them with a provocactive story thinly disguised as a mystery. A good read.
4.0 out of 5 stars More psychological than thriller, but worth investigating,
Stephen Dedman (Bayswater, WA Australia) - See all my reviews
Folly opens with an excerpt from a dictionary, defining a folly as (among other things) �¿an often extravagant picturesque building erected to suit a fanciful taste�¿, which is a fair summation of the novel �¿ though unlike some follies, this one is fairly well put together.
King does a wonderful job with the �¿psychological�¿ part of �¿psychological thriller�¿, capturing both Rae�¿s inner strength and terrors extremely well. For a thriller, though, Folly is very unevenly paced. King seems to have fallen in love with her setting and the characters who live there, and things move rather slowly in the first 340 pages. This gives the reader plenty of time to think about what�¿s likely to happen next; I wasn�¿t even slightly surprised when Rae discovered a body or when she solves the murder. In the last 60 pages, however, King introduces more characters with very little warning, and drops you into an action scene almost as though it were an afterthought. It�¿s a good ending, with some nice twists, but a little more tension would have helped it.
Fortunately, King has a beautifully picturesque style of writing, and her characters are interesting enough �¿ and, for the most part, sympathetic enough �¿ to keep you reading even when not much is happening. The plot is nowhere near as complex or obscure as, say, a Minette Walters novel, but it�¿s much easier to like King�¿s characters; even her villains and lowlifes tend to have a redeeming feature or two.
Folly may not be perfectly constructed, but King has chosen her raw materials �¿ words and characters �¿ very well, and the end result is extremely pleasing.
5.0 out of 5 stars building a world in time,
Julia Walker (NY Finger Lakes) - See all my reviews
King's newest novel is everything that the other reviewers claim, good and bad. (Except that it's NOTHING like Mary Higgins Clark, whose works I had to ban from my Women's Murder Mystery class after finding them 98% romance and 2% mystery.) But in "Folly," King does use obvious symbolism, long digressions, unexpected and non-chronological flash-backs, bleeds a bit into romance, and lacks a clear articulation or resolution of the immortal "who dunnit?" Or at least "why?"
But it is a very good book.
Unlike the books of her Kate Martinelli series or Mary Russell series, King's newest novel is only incidentally a mystery, although almost none her other books are _simply_ mysteries. But in "Folly" there's certainly fearful suspense artfully manipulated and enough problems to be solved to provide a satisfactory, if not perfectly neat resolution. The plot's chronology is complexly presented, so it's no book to read when you have to put it down for a day then pick it up for thirty minutes before bedtime. But the focus on single and mutably complex main character (however unfortunately allegorical her name) justifies that.
While I am a great fan of King's work, I wouldn't claim that she can't write a less-than-wonderful book -- see "To Play the Fool" or "The Moor," a book that gave me an even worse headache than the Dorothy L. Sayers' exercise with Scottish fish and train timetables. But this book IS, in many ways, wonderful. The metaphor of a woman rebuilding herself as she rebuilds a house may be as obvious as "new born" and "sanctuary," but that doesn't make it any less compelling -- see Homer or Virgil or Dante, also writers with obvious controlling metaphors. The point is that the metaphor works, and as it works, becomes something larger than a simple comparison.
King's sense of place is exquisitely portrayed here. Not just the island upon which Rae lives, but the whole eco-system of the San Juan's is a feast for the reader. She makes a world I'd want to walk into, making it real with attention to plants and rocks and birds and mud, and the ebb and flow of wind and water, as well as with the larger outlines and the more ambiguous ambience of a community made up of islands and a population both dependent on and resentful of tourists. But aside from Rae, the island itself is the main character, and one of King's most interesting characters. Here I'm reminded of Mary Stewart's early novels that blend mystery, travelogue, and (yes) romance so effectively that, reading them as a teen, I fell in love with those settings, a love that out-lasted my memory of the characters or plots. Visiting Delphi, Avignon and environs, the Isle of Skye as an adult, I've met other women travelers who were there for the same reason. King's islands have that effect, making me seriously consider a trip to that area -- something entirely new for me.
So it's a book that can metamorphose the reader in many ways. The subject of depression -- which I'd dreaded after reading the reviews -- is actually affirmative as King crafts it in the struggle of Rae. And the art and love of wood is an unexpected but powerful gift that the book brings to the reader with world enough and time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Anticipation and Gratification,
Amazon Customer (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
I have read all of Laurie King's books and actually waited impatiently for the publication of "Folly." King seems to be many authors in one body. Her various series of books, all good, stress different writing talents. Consistently however she is a master of character development. She also doesn't hesitate surprising you occasionally by introducing suddenly a fact about a character that you thought you knew well -- but didn't.
Other reviews have outlined the plot of "Folly." I disagree with those that feel the plot was overburdened or that not enough issues were resolved by the end of the book. There are unresolved stories continuing every day in all of our lives. I feel comfortable knowing that the relationships that were not resolved in the pages of "Folly" are still out there continuing to a conclusion. The characters are real enough to let you do that.
I was not disappointed when I finally got my hands on the book and enjoyed entering the life of Rae and wondering with her whether she was still in the grasp of mental illness or whether there were people watching and there was danger lurking somewhere behind her. I can't really compare "Folly" directly with other King publications. Again she provides us with a new approach to story telling for her. The mystery is there just as in her other books -- but the presentation is different.
My only regret was that I didn't control my urge to read the book until I went on vacation. I longed for a good book to read in peaceful surroundings. This book is worth a read -- as are all of King's previous works. If you haven't read the Mary Russell series ( a totally different experience) you should.
4.0 out of 5 stars Folly/Sanctuary? Not quite--,
By A Customer
This venture into the world of clinical depression is also an overburdened plot with too many incomplete digressions.
The protagonist, Rae Newborn, is a fascinating character, and her struggles with mental illness well developed. However, the villans of the piece seem to be fathers. Rae's grandfather, her father, her son-in-law (father of her granddaughter), Rae's first husband, and the abusive fathers of the "vanished" children are the demons whose influence causes pain, death, and misery. Although Rae's second husband (Alan) is supposed to be a "good" father, he is unable to "fill the black hole" in his son by a former marriage.
The subplots and sub-subplots complicate the book and leave the reader with some confusion. What happens between Jerry and Nikki (the sheriff and the park ranger)? What about Jerry's brother, Allen? And the disappearing (vanished) children who are victims of their fathers' abuse?
The book is worth reading, and some parts of it are lyrical and lovely. However, it is surely not King's best work and not nearly so much a psychological thriller as a study of being, literally and figurately, "new-born" after depression and trauma.

Students should be expected to apply their understanding of matter in the context of earth and life sciences, recognizing that matter conservation, energy conservation, and matter flows are critical concepts for understanding many large-scale phenomena.
Using evidence collected and analyzed from their own investigations, evidence from outside sources (e.g., atomic images), and the results of simulations, students confirm a model that matter consists of atoms in motion—with forces between the atoms—and that the motion of the particles is temperature dependent. Students can connect this particle model of matter to observations and present arguments based on it to defend the following claims: All substances are made from approximately 100 different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways; atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms; gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms, which are moving about relative to each other; and in a solid, atoms may vibrate in position but do not change relative locations.
Students can select different materials as examples to support the claim that solids may be formed from molecules or may be extended structures with repeating subunits (e.g., crystals, metals). Recognizing that pure substances are made from a single type of atom or molecule, students present evidence to support the claim that each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties that can be used to identify it.

Google comes to Portland - sort of
|| Print |
|Ben Jacklet
|Thursday, December 09, 2010
Google's head of consumer marketing has nothing but nice things to say about Portland. "We chose Portland because it has the perfect demographic, in terms of entrepreneurs and technology," says Bernardo Hernandez. "It's dense, it's fun, it's lively. There's a real community dynamic. It's a younger crowd. And the weather is really good for this time of the year."
The weather is really good this time of year? Really?
Well I guess when Google chooses your city, you don't quibble with the details. Unfortunately, in this case Google's choice has more to do with marketing than with jobs. The Keepers of the Portal to All that is Known and Sometimes Made Up are expanding at warp speed in California, hiring across the board and paying top dollar to retain their best employees. They have a relatively minor presence in downtown Portland after their August 2010 acquisition of Instantiations and an electricity-devouring server farm in The Dalles, but their new foray into Portland has nothing to do with Java or electrons. It has to do with local search.
Google is launching a marketing campaign in Portland today to promote Hotpot, its new service for rating local businesses. The company will be hobnobbing with the Voodoo Donuts team this afternoon and handing out 20,000 tee shirts tonight at the Blazers game in the interest of getting people excited about using Hotpot to rate local businesses while helping business owners to connect with potential customers. All of which will theoretically improve everyone's online search results through the "wisdom of crowds" logic that is the foundation of the Google Algorithm. That last detail - improved search results - is presumably the difference between Google's service and rivals such as Yelp.
Hernandez says Google will be working with 250 Portland businesses selected for their popularity as search terms. A small team of liaisons will help these businesses to improve their visibility on the web by encouraging customers to review them - even putting up window stickers with embedded chips at the business to enable reviewers to contribute more conveniently. The company also plans to promote the campaign and its chosen Portland businesses on local billboards.
"Small businesses are struggling, and we believe this will be good not only for users but for small businesses too," says Hernandez. "We are going to be bringing a lot of money to the small business community in Portland."
Hey, can't argue with that. And while we're talking Google, for what it's worth, here is the most recent list of the company's top 10 search queries in Portland:
1. student assist
It remains to be seen whether a window sticker with a computer chip inside it will help a local business make that list. But there's no disputing the business value of high visibility on the web, because that's where people go to get their questions answered - usually by Google.

Gallery: Bulletproof Solar-Powered Jo-Mojo Electric Roadster to Hit the...
Estonian auto company Dartz Kombat is known for making the Prombron — basically a bulletproof Hummer on steriods – however they recently announced plans to go 'green' by launching a bulletproof all-electric roadster called the Jo-Mojo. Set to debut in Monaco at the Top Marques show in April, the vehicle will feature a solar roof and muscular chassis. Check out a video slideshow of of the Jo-Mojo and its chameleon paint job — it actually changes colors — after the jump.

A long time to charge indeed, if only the solar roof is used.
One panel of 160x80cm (64×32″) (17.8% efficiency) will generate approximately 195 kWh in a year, if positioned correctly and left in the sun every day (in my rainy, Dutch climate).
Most electric cars have batteries with a capacity of between 20 and 35kWh… Even if this car has a large roof for such a small car (160x160cm?), you wouldn't be able to charge it more than 10 to 20 times a year, using the solar roof…
Could come in handy if you're out of power and only a short distance from home. Leave it on a parking spot for a while and then go on home. No need for towing…

A Perkins Township couple was arrested Tuesday for allegedly getting into a physical fight while the man was holding onto their three-week-old child.
Kierra Williams, 23, and De Quan Norris, 21, both of the 2400 block of Campbell St., were both charged with domestic violence, child endangering and assault.
Williams picked up Norris from work at about 7 p.m. and the pair began to argue, according to a Perkins police report.
When they made it back to their Campbell Street home, Williams allegedly said she was going to leave with their baby for awhile to "think things out," the report said.
But when Williams reached for the infant, born on June 17, Norris instead grabbed him from the car and walked inside.
The pair continued arguing, with Norris allegedly slapping, choking and pushing Williams after she slapped him across the face, the report said.
The entire physical confrontation occurred while Norris was still holding the baby, the report said.
Both were arrested, but Sandusky Municipal Court Judge Erich O'Brien allowed both to be released, given the child's age. Norris spent the night at a friend's and was to have no contact with Williams until their court date.

Ok, here we go. A lot of times I'm always starting a thread whenever I'm headed into a certain area, especially when I am facing a possible weekend layover. So now instead of doing that, I'll just update this one. If I'm coming to your hometown and you have any information I might find interesting, you can share that here or PM me. Fair enough?
So here we go. I'm no longer in Texas, or at least I won't be by the end of the week. I just picked up a load in Louisiana and I'm headed for Casper, Wyoming. I will be delivering in Casper on Friday morning. I'm going to try my hardest to get out of there before the weekend, but if I don't find something Friday, I'll be stuck in Wyoming for the weekend. I guess there could be worse places to be. Any interesting info is much welcome.

Byron Katie is one of my favorite teachers. I love her message and her process.
The beauty of her process is the fact that is very simple. Just 4 questions and 2 or more turnarounds.
1) Is it True?
2) Can you absolutely know that it is true?
3) Who are you when you think this thought?
4) How would you be if you could not think this thought?
Then turn the statement around to the opposite, other, self or thinking.
Doing this work can let go of years of abuse. The most important abuse there is, self abuse. This work has helped so many people.
It has also helped me in so many ways. Every once in a while I will break out the work. Especially when my thoughts are getting the best of me and having difficulty stopping myself from suffering.
Suffering is believing that reality should be different than it is at the moment.
I highly suggest checking her out.

Worry is a huge waste of time. Worry does you no good. All it does is hurt you, while it does nothing to help the person that you are worrying about.
Worry is different than concern. Worry and concern might start with the same intention, it is a much different action. When you concerned, and you do nothing about it, then concern turns into worry.
Worry is thinking the something bad is going to happen over and over and over again. A coward dies a thousand deaths, and every time you worry, you are creating a scenario where what you worry about has happened.
If you have concern, do something about it, even if all you can do is send good vibrations or prayer. Then you have to let it go and trust that the best is going to happen. If the worst is going to happen, let the worst happen once.

For the sixth time, the index compares the climate change performances of the 57 highest CO2-emitting countries. Together, they are responsible for more than 90 percent of global energy emissions.
The Climate Change Performance Index aims to enhance transparency on national and international efforts to avoid dangerous climate change. On the one hand, this tool shows who is doing what regarding climate change. On the other hand, it provides more information about the strengths and weaknesses of the different countries in the various sectors.
EU member states traditionally performed well in the index, most of them being in the CCPI 2011's top 20. This year countries like Sweden, Germany, Malta, Hungary, Slovakia and Ireland either held on to their top 20 positions from last year or moved higher in the rankings. However, several top 20 EU countries such as UK, France, Portugal, Latvia and Belgium dropped in the rankings.
Hungary, which will hold the EU presidency in the first semester of 2011, also rose in the rankings this year, while Poland, which will hold the EU Presidency right after Hungary and during the climate summit in South Africa next year, fell.
