The big premiere of the week was EA's Star Wars: The Old Republic, which debuted in tenth place, having launched on Tuesday the 20th. This is irregular for the UK, since most games launch on Friday. Despite the extra time, the high-profile MMO's launch week didn't beat out Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The saving grace of The Old Republic's lower ranking premiere is Chart-Track doesn't count digitally distributed copies. According to EA, things are going well with its new MMO.

Whether you're looking for a good laugh or a simple trip down memory lane, seeing Windows Mobile 6.1 hobble around like a grumpy old man within Windows Phone might just satisfy both those urges. The technical stunt comes courtesy of the Dark Forces Team, which is now previewing a bit of hackery known as WML (Windows Mobile Loader?). While details of the project have yet to be made public, a video posted to YouTube clearly shows the elderly OS accessible from within Windows Phone on an HTC Gold (HD7). Support for Windows Mobile 6.5 is also in the works, but for the moment, just take a peep at the most important visual treat in the above clip.

Lost Abbey Brouwers Imagination Ale 2009(RETIRED)
RATINGS: 112 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.93 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 285 ABV: 9.5%
34% ale brewed with honey, raisins and rosemary and aged in bourbon barrels 33% ale aged in bourbon barrels 33% ale with raisins and aged in wine barrels
In July of 2009, the Matts and a couple of the guys flew down from Seattle to tour our hallowed halls in San Marcos, CA. In our barrel room they were drawn to brandy barrels of Angels Share, port barrels of Serpents Stout and red wine barrels of Gift of the Magi with brett. There were others, but as with all blends, its best to leave some things to the imagination (or the taste buds for that matter).

The United Jewish Communities has launched an emergency appeal for the embattled citizens of Georgia. UJC has set up a mailbox to take donations, in addition to a blog addressing the crisis. The organization's overseas partners, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and the Jewish Agency for Israel, have been assisting the local Jewish community, a number of whom have made aliyah to Israel in recent days. Georgia has been engulfed in crisis since Russian troops invaded last week in what Western leaders have described as an act of aggression aimed at destabilizing the country's democratic government. Though a truce was reached early Wednesday, Russian troops continue to occupy areas near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi and tensions are still running high. The Jewish Agency and the JDC have been particuarly assisting the Georgian Jews in Gori, a city near Tbilisi that has seen some of the fiercest fighting. On Wednesday, 34 Georgian Jews immigrated to Israel. Donations to the campaign can be made online at www.ujc.org or mailed to P.O. Box 30, Old Chelsea Station, New York, NY 10113.

Less micro managing by front line managers. A lot of emphasis was made on phone calls but need to improve the process to improve the customer's experience. Front line management needed more training in how to manage. Poor management was not stopped.

It's been about 5 years since I've worked with Smallworld first hand, so this may be outdated. At that time, I was using version 4.1.

Thanks to tips in the comments, particularly from Chris W, I realized that the PLSS points I had were terribly inaccurate.

The only difference between LAS 1.2 and LAS 1.3 is the ability to store returns together with a references to the full waveform data. This ONLY is the case for point types 4 and 5.

a work around would be to parse the description field for the values of the various attribute fields you need and copy them into the appropriate fields.

Unfortunately TerraScan does not have full read/write capabilities for LAS specification after version 1.2.

Shapefiles utilize dBase-III+ date values ('D' type), which are restricted to day resolution. If you need second resolution, you'll need to use a personal, file, or enterprise geodatabase.

It's been a while since I tried this but it is fairly easy as GML is an output format like any other in OGR. So you should be able to take the tutorial from http://www.gdal.org/ogr_apitut.html and change "ESRI Shapefile" to "GML" compile and run it.
Generally speaking, this is called hex-encoded WKB. This specific example is the extended version, called EWKB, since it has SRID=4326 as found by E6100000. WKB can be viewed in a few forms.

Okay, based on the comments above. I think your first problem is that your white lines are gaps between the polygons. I would start by establishing what the subject is.

New dye could help police fight crime
|| Print |
|Articles - July 2010
|Thursday, June 24, 2010
Rob Strongin's work developing chemically complex dyes has led him from cancer to crime. Strongin, a professor of chemistry at Portland State University, made the transition after the Orange County Sheriff's Department asked him to develop a dye that could make fingerprints on bloody surfaces show up more clearly. Dyes used by forensic teams are sometimes ineffective, depending upon what surface the fingerprint is on, and the surface's color. Strongin received funding from the National Institute of Justice and worked on the project from October 2007 through 2009. He created a new dye made from the chemical compounds of three different ones. Enzymes in blood chemically react to color in the dye. "You really don't see much dye unless there are bloody fingerprints," Strongin says. He tested the dye using pig's blood on numerous surfaces, including black cardboard. The results pleased Strongin. Fingerprints show up so sharply you can see skin pores. "They work in the most difficult of environments," Strongin says. The dyes are patented, but the project lost momentum when Strongin's Orange County collaborator retired. Strongin is seeking a new partner to pursue commercialization.

Author Info
|James Patterson
|James Patterson grew up in Newburgh, New York, 50 miles north of New York City. Valedictorian of his class at the Christian Brothers school, St. Patrick's, in 1965, Patterson graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in English. He first entertained the idea of becoming a writer in 1971 when he worked as a college student in a mental institution, a job that afforded him abundant time to read. He came up with the idea for his first novel during that time, and five years later, after 26 rejection slips, his first effort, "The Thomas Berryman Number", appeared in bookstores. Since that time, Patterson has written numerous best-selling thrillers featuring the sensitive, modern-day hero Alex Cross, including "Kiss the Girls", which was made into a major motion picture starring Morgan Freeman.
From the Publisher
|Alex Cross has been around the block a few times--he's been doing police psychological investigations for years--but nevertheless, the story that his grandmother tells him manages to shake this seasoned professional to the core. The story, about an idealistic attorney from D.C. sent down to Mississippi in 1906 to look into Ku Klux Klan activities, has been passed down in the Cross family through the generations because it involves a distant relative. Longtime readers of James Patterson's extremely popular series starring D.C. investigator Alex Cross might find ALEX CROSS'S TRIAL to be a departure from Patterson's modus operandi, but this book offers deep insight into this character and his family's past that will sure to interest fans and connect them even more intimately with their beloved hero.
|Editors Note
|In a new book by the best-selling author, Detective Alex Cross tells the story of an ancestor, Abraham Cross, and his experiences with lawyer Ben Corbett, in an astonishing account of a man's bold pursuit for justice in the face of the resurgence of Ku Klux Klan racism and violence in 1906 Eudora, Mississippi. Reprint. A #1 best-seller.

New Bike Kitchen Co-Op In SomervilleWritten by Boston Biker on May 11
This sounds awesome! A bike co-op where you can use the tools, and the collective information of the folks around you for a very reasonable price.
The Somerville Bike Kitchen (SBK) is a bicycle repair cooperative where members of the community can repair their own bikes, learn about about bike repair and attend bike events. The SBK located in a 190 sq. ft. space just outside of Davis Sq. The space is managed by four volunteer staff members and is open to the public and members for drop-in hours one night a week.
Presently, the space is open to the public and members from 6pm to 9pm every Tuesday evening. We are just getting started and are working toward having having more drop-in hours. Bike stands and tools are available on a first come first serve basis.

Is It Just Me…Written by Boston Biker on Mar 17
or is New England creating new and horrible types of precipitation to hurl at my face? What exactly was that flying out of the sky around 5:30 pm today. Ice snow? Rain Hail? Tiny spike ice? It was like small bundles of ice knives flying into my eyes…totally awesome. In the biblical sense (the parts about destruction).

Levi's Sells Fancy Bike Riding PantsWritten by Boston Biker on Mar 11
Capitalists make products for us! I am not a big fan of big business, but I see this sort of thing more as a sign that cycling is getting really big. Cycling is growing at a fantastic clip, and big companies smell money. You don't have to spend lots of money on fancy bike jeans, but its nice that we make up a large enough demographic that someone is trying to sell us fancy bike jeans.
First its jeans, then what, dedicated well maintained infrastructure? Huzzah!

Snowtacular Open ThreadWritten by Boston Biker on Jan 26
What do you plan to do during the mega storm? I am sorta tempted to try riding down the big hill near my house once everything is covered with a foot of snow and no one is on the road…on one hand that is the kind of half-assed plan that gets your bones broken….but on the other hand, its also the kind of plan that might end up being hilarious and fun…so hard to know what to do.

You Wait On The Side Walk And Wait For The Little Man SignalWritten by Boston Biker on Aug 04
I never thought I would see the day when car drivers are now no longer the main source of frustration in my daily commute…Pedestrians we need to talk.
I feel like there has been a lot of effort to get cyclists and motorists to act less like assholes, and to my untrained eye it seems like it is working. I see far less rule breaking from these two road using classes than I did 5 years ago. The change has been slow, and we certainly have a LONG way to go, but its working.
There is one user group however that hasn't kept up with the "new normal" of road use here in Boston, yes I am talking about you pedestrians. If anything the more orderly traffic patterns, and more well behaved motorists and cyclists seem to have emboldened you to act even worse.
In the same way that cops will pick an intersection and hand out bike tickets, and motorist tickets its time for some targeted enforcement of pedestrians. Even written warnings will do. The time it takes the cop to write out the warning is enough of a punishment to get most peoples attention.
Until that starts to happen, here are some tips for pedestrians, please stop doing the following.
Wait on the sidewalk for the light to change, do not stand in the street:
Cyclists need every inch of road we can wrestle from cars and if you are standing in the road it forces us into conflicts with much bigger more dangerous things. If its a choice between hitting you and getting hit by a car the choice is clear.
Don't walk from between parked cars:
I feel like this is street crossing 101, but for fucks sake do you want to be hit by something? What is worse is that you are putting other people in danger with your foolishness. You will eventually be hit by something doing this, its just a matter of time. Please don't be a jerk, don't hurt yourself or others, walk the extra ten feet to the cross walk and cross with everyone else.
Just because the car traffic is stationary that doesn't mean the cyclist traffic is:
Cyclists move down the bike lane, or down the right hand side of the road, just because the cars are stopped doesn't mean the cyclists are. Playing frogger through a bunch of car traffic that isn't moving is the same thing as jumping out from behind a parked car. You will be hit, it will hurt, you will break something. Oh by the way, just because the cars are not moving now doesn't mean they wont start moving in a second.
If you must J walk, look both ways first!
Knowledge is knowing the street is one way, wisdom is looking both ways anyway. You might think nothing is coming, you might not hear anything, but you can't be sure unless you look both ways. Cyclists don't make much noise, but it will still hurt if they hit you.
You have to wait your turn:
If you want motorists and cyclists to stop at red lights, and stop signs you can't just go when the red hand is up. Whats worse is when you look both ways, see a bunch of traffic coming, and walk out anyway. Its exactly the kind of behavior that would frustrate you if you were in a car or riding a bike, but you seem to have no problem doing it when you are walking around. You are needlessly putting yourself and others in danger, and being a jerk at the same time.
I don't think these are unreasonable demands. Nor are they burdensome to the pedestrians that want to use the street. I understand signal timing can be wrong, or that walk times are too short, but none of that has anything to do with what I have mentioned above.
In short, stop being such an asshole and start being more invested in your own safety and the safety of those around you.

Court enters same-sex fray with uncharacteristic speed
...In the civil rights era, the Supreme Court waited decades to weigh in on interracial marriage. On Friday, by contrast, the court did not hesitate to jump into the middle of one of the most important social controversies of the day, agreeing to hear two cases on same-sex marriage....
In private correspondence in 1957, Justice Felix Frankfurter said the court was doing all it could to avoid hearing cases that would require giving the nation an answer about whether bans on interracial marriage — anti-miscegenation laws, in the parlance of the day — were constitutional....
The Supreme Court did not strike down laws banning interracial marriage until 1967, in Loving v. Virginia, when 16 states still had them on the books. That was almost two decades after the California Supreme Court in 1948 struck down a law making illegal "all marriages of white persons with Negroes" in Perez v. Sharp....

American Photon Lipo CentersRead MoreAmerican Photon Lipo Centers' physician-supervised staff offers noninvasive alternatives to liposuction and facelifts. Using BioSlim technology's red light, they can shrink fat cells during BioSculpt treatments or tighten skin during BioLift and BioRejuv treatments. The FDA-approved treatments yield similar results to their surgical equals, and they do so without the threat of scars, downtime, or hospital-room neighbors who lie awake plotting to steal your jello.3333 Warrenville RoadLisle, IL US
AmeriLaser Center NewRead MoreAt each AmeriLaser Center and AmeriCosmetic Surgery Center in Des Plaines and Downers Grove, experienced laser technicians and aestheticians, under a team of supervising doctors, take time to listen to each client's skincare needs. Building this rapport helps the staffers to craft custom treatment plans that may include non-invasive procedures like laser hair removal, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and dermal fillers, as well as invasive procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation, face lifts and tummy tucks. Their most celebrated treatment may be non-invasive skin tightening, which uses bipolar radio frequencies and magnetic pulses to help to firm lax skin caused by aging or extreme weight loss, and it has earned ringing endorsements from The Biggest Loser winner Michael Ventrella, WWE pro wrestler Lisa Marie Varon, and a cherry tomato that sat untouched in Elvis Presley's fridge for years.1034 Warren Ave.Downers Grove, IL US

Advanced Wellness CenterRead MoreAchieving optimal health requires a balanced, holistic approach that treats the body as a whole and doesn't simply address symptoms as they appear. At Advanced Wellness Center, Doctor of Chiropractic Emmy Wang and her staff use a combination of chiropractic care, physiotherapy, and other noninvasive treatment modalities to help clients live healthy, pain-free lives. Dr. Wang's hands-on chiropractic adjustments locate misaligned vertebrae along the spinal column, easing them back into place, which allows the body's central nervous system to function at full capacity and begin naturally healing the underlying conditions that can cause chronic pains. For a more technologically based approach, the center's low-level laser therapy can increase circulation, accelerate cell growth, and reduce swelling in a target area, which can alleviate the discomfort caused by everything from carpal tunnel syndrome to arthritis. These options can help restore the body to optimal health; however, Advanced Wellness Center also uses physiotherapy to get clients' bodies in even better shape. Whole-body-vibration sessions can increase muscle tone and build bone density, and the center's conditioning training develops core strength. Medically supervised weight-loss programs provide long-term guidance for clients seeking to become more fit. Additionally, the center offers Lipo-Light therapy, which uses LED light energy to help contour troublesome areas without invasive surgeries.6325 Main St.Woodridge, IL US
Fusion Medical SpaRead MoreThe staff at Fusion Med Spa includes a general surgeon and aestheticians who help to whittle bodies into shapely figures with FDA-approved cosmetic and aesthetic treatments. Aestheticians rejuvenate faces with a coterie of services such as microdermabrasion, facial resurfacing treatments, and peels. They work to reduce wrinkles and lessen other signs of aging, such as sagging skin and falling asleep while watching golf, with Venus Freeze skin-tightening sessions. Wielding lasers, they dissolve adipose tissue and cellulite, remove hair, and reduce spider veins.4931 S Rte. 59Naperville, IL US

Zeetron intros iPhone 4 Color Swap service
Mobile device part and repair service Zeetron has introduced its new iPhone 4 Color Swap service. Using "original" repair parts, the service has customers mail in their current black iPhone 4 units, which are received, processed, and shipped back the same day via FedEx overnight. The service replaces the front and back panels of the black iPhone 4 with white repair parts, which includes both the LCD and digitizer, as well as the Home button. Zeetron charges $199 for its mail-in iPhone 4 Color Swap service and also sells do-it-yourself kits for $188. Either option is likely to void any current Apple warranty; proceed with caution.

It is weird that the white iPhone 4 is still not abvailable after so long. Right now the only white Apple product you can buy new to match the white ear buds that come with the iPhone/iPod line is the MacBook?

What I gather from this article? There are people willing to drop $200 to change the color of their phone, shredding their warranty in the process.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 14, 2010 at 8:41 AM (CDT)
Don't use zeetron for anything, example, call them every hour and they won't Answere! They takes days to Answere emails! There shady and don't use there business. We sent them a new iPhone and thye yet have gotten it Back to us. It's been over a week and status still says waiting fulfillment , and this was suppose to be a Xmas present!

Zeetron is great. The color swap service works fantastic, and i am so happy my phone is now white. They sent the phone overnight as promised.
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 3, 2011 at 4:27 PM (CST)
I bought the iPhone 4 after owning the 3s. I was hard on the 3s and never broke the screen therefore when buying the iPhone 4 I opted out of the extra warranty coverage. As we all should know by now the iPhone 4 screen and back cover break easy. Luckily there is a company like zeetron to provide a reasonable fix and DIY video step by step instructions. I've used Zeetron twice to diy replace the same iPhone 4 and never had an issue. Overall I am pleased with Zeetron and it's a great option for people who waived the extra glass warranty or who want to customize their phone. I will continue to suggest Zeetron to friends.

Peter Siddle targets series whitewash
Thursday 17 September 2009
Peter Siddle has admitted it would be "very pleasing" if Australia could claim a whitewash against England in their one-day series.
The tourists are currently 5-0 ahead in the seven-match series and can move closer to the feat today when they play the second of back-to-back matches at Trent Bridge.
Siddle made his first appearance of the series in Nottingham on Tuesday, when skipper Ricky Ponting's imperious 126 from 109 balls helped the tourists chase down 300 with four wickets in hand.
It was a moment to savour for the skipper following a tour that will be remembered for his failure to win the Ashes on English soil for the second consecutive time.
And while Siddle admits the disappointment of losing the Test series would not be overcome by an one-day whitewash, it would provide more than just consolation.
"It would be very pleasing," he said.
"We've copped a lot of grief over the past two months over our performances in the Ashes, so to get a little back here and finish off these last two matches with wins would be a pleasing way to finish.
"We don't want to slacken off now and let all that momentum that we've built up go. We're going to be fighting hard to win the next two and win 7-0."
Australia are likely to shuffle their team in the final two matches with the Champions Trophy, which starts in South Africa next week, in mind.
That policy afforded Siddle his chance on Tuesday when he came in for the rested Brett Lee and, after operating at speeds over 90 miles per hour, claimed figures of one for 50 from 10 overs.
It was just Siddle's second ODI and while he is a novice in the form of the game he is hoping to prove he is worth a regular place alongside fellow quicks Lee and Mitchell Johnson on the faster-paced wickets of South Africa.
"There is plenty to play for personally in these final two games," he said.
"I want to try and secure a spot in the Champions Trophy. That's my aim.
"I know I've got to try and take this chance because Brett (Lee) has bowled so well in the series.
"I don't know if it's a straight shoot-out between us. It could depend on the wickets in South Africa and how they (the selectors) want to line up.
"South African wickets are a bit faster so I might be a chance to play with him rather than against him."

Family keep Zane's life happy
Mum 'blown away' by generosityTERRI RUSSELL
Relevant offers
Three-year-old Zane Strudwicke is a happy little boy who loves spending time with friends at playcentre.
He also has terminal cancer.
Diagnosed last month, he has spent the past few weeks receiving treatment in Christchurch, but his family brought him home to Wallacetown this week, hoping to make his last days as enjoyable as possible.
His mother, Donna Hansen, said the family first became aware that something was not quite right when nearly half the children at Zane's playcentre caught a stomach bug.
"Inside myself I knew, I knew right from the start - it wasn't just vomiting," Ms Hansen said.
After a day in hospital Zane was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
He was immediately flown to Christchurch Hospital where tests revealed another three tumours in his brain, and the cancer had spread to his spine.
The largest tumour was removed but it was too dangerous to operate on the remaining tumours, and they decided to bring him home, his mum said.
"Zane's going to go home for palliative care," Ms Hansen said.
"We want him to have a happy life - to see his friends, go to school with his sister Jakaya.
"It's hard because Jakaya's 8, she's going to go through a lot as well."
The decision was hard but they wanted to do what was best for Zane, she said.
"We don't know Zane's life expectancy . . . We want to do everything we can with him."
The news comes three years after Zane's father, Blair Strudwicke, was diagnosed with a brain tumour and given three months to live. His tumour was later found to be benign.
There was no connection between the father and son's tumours, Ms Hansen said.
The Southland community had been extremely supportive and she was overwhelmed by the generosity, she said.
"A lot of people are digging deep into their own pockets, it's quite breathtaking.
"It has just blown me away, I am truly and utterly lost for words by what everyone has done," Ms Hansen said.
Family and friends ran a working bee at their home on Saturday. Helpers were busy gardening, cleaning and stocking the fridge ready for the family's arrival from Christchurch yesterday afternoon. Both cars were re-registered and the local fire brigade filled up the property's water tanks.
Former All Black Jimmy Cowan donated his signed 2011 Rugby World Cup jersey, which has been auctioned on Trade Me. The item attracted more than 2500 views since Sunday and bidding has so far reached more than $1000.
Cowan said he was more than happy to support the cause.
"It's the least that I could do," he said.
"I'm only too willing to help; what better way, to donate the jersey, from all the boys," he said.
Cowan said that he heard about Zane's illness through his girlfriend, who had connections with the family. "I wish the young fella all the best as he goes forward and I hope people keep bidding and they get as much money as they can for it."
A raffle has also been organised, with tickets being sold across Southland. Prizes include a family gondola pass, accommodation and meal vouchers.
Donations to Zane's apeal can be made online or at any Westpac New Zealand branch. Name: Family of Zane Account number: 031742077428800 Include your surname as a reference so the family can show their appreciation. Fundraising ideas can be posted at stayingstrongforzane.org.nz.

Glaciation not related to carbon isotopic ratio
Washington: The large changes in the carbon isotopic composition of carbonates which occurred prior to the major climatic event more than 500 million years ago, known as `Snowball Earth,` are unrelated to worldwide glacial events, a new study has suggested.
The study was conducted by scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
"Our study suggests that the geochemical record documented in rocks prior to the Marinoan glaciation or `Snowball Earth` are unrelated to the glaciation itself," said UM Rosenstiel professor Peter Swart, a co-author of the study.
"Instead the changes in the carbon isotopic ratio are related to alteration by freshwater as sea level fell," Swart stated.
In order to better understand the environmental conditions prior to 'Snowball Earth', the research team analysed geochemical signatures preserved in carbonate rock cores from similar climactic events that happened more recently — two million years ago — during the Pliocene-Pleistocene period.
The team analysed the ratio of the rare isotope of carbon (13C) to the more abundant carbon isotope (12C) from cores drilled in the Bahamas and the Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
The geochemical patterns that were observed in these cores were nearly identical to the pattern seen prior to the Marinoan glaciation, which suggests that the alteration of rocks by water, a process known as diagenesis, is the source of the changes seen during that time period.
Prior to this study, scientists theorized that large changes in the cycling of carbon between the organic and inorganic reservoirs occurred in the atmosphere and oceans, setting the stage for the global glacial event known as `Snowball Earth`.
"It is widely accepted that changes in the carbon isotopic ratio during the Pliocene-Pleistocene time are the result of alteration of rocks by freshwater," said Swart.
"We believe this is also what occurred during the Neoproterozoic. Instead of being related to massive and complicated changes in the carbon cycle, the variations seen in the Neoproterozoic can be explained by simple process which we understand very well," he added.
Scientists acknowledge that multiple sea level fluctuations occurred during the Pliocene-Pleistocene glaciations resulting from water being locked up in glaciers. Similar sea-level changes during the Neoproterozoic caused the variations in the global carbon isotopic signal preserved in the older rocks, not a change in the distribution of carbon as had been widely postulated.
The study was published in the journal Geology.

Cable Industry Launches Efficiency Drive
The U.S. cable industry has launched an initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of consumer set-top boxes and cable-related services, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (logo pictured) has announced.
As part of the program, cable operators providing service to approximately 85 percent of U.S. cable customers have guaranteed that at least 90 percent of all new set-top boxes they purchase and deploy will be Energy Star 3.0 certified, by 2013.
A key element of the initiative is the "CableLabs – Energy Lab," a new facility within CableLabs – the cable industry's research and development consortium – that will concentrate exclusively on improving energy efficiency in the industry, the NCTA says.
Specifically, the lab will:
- Design an energy tracking program for measuring and reporting energy consumption and efficiency improvements of new set-top boxes.
- Serve as a testing and development facility for designers of energy efficient software and hardware.
- Assist in developing applications and products that will help consumers manage their overall residential energy consumption.
In September, Cable firm Comcast was criticized by the Carbon Disclosure Project for the lack of information it provides about its carbon footprint.
The company was named along with Apple, Amazon and Berkshire Hathaway as one of the largest companies not to respond to the CDP S&P Report 2011.

Bush popularity hits 7-year hightags: George W. Bush, presidents, popularity, approval ratings
Days before the official opening of his presidential library, George W. Bush is experiencing something of a comeback when it comes to his public image.
Almost as many people (47 percent) approve of how Bush handled his eight years in office as disapprove (50 percent), according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. That's the highest approval rating for Bush since December 2005. Bush's approval dipped all the way to 23 percent in Post-ABC polling in October 2008 and was just 33 percent in January 2009 when he left office. (His approval rating was below 40 percent for 26 consecutive months before his term ended, the longest streak of sub-40 presidential ratings since polling began in the 1930s.)
And, what's fascinating is that it's not just Bush's overall job approval numbers but the intensity measures. In the new Post-ABC poll, 34 percent say they "strongly" disapprove of the job he did while in office; that's the lowest strong disapprove number for Bush since January 2005....
