In 1985 I was working in an electronics factory, developing production processes. My task was to find a solution to eliminate the processes using fluorinated hydrocarbons. These fluorinated hydrocarbons were used for the washing process of circuit boards after soldering and in our testing equipment. We had to test the electronic circuits at minus 40 degrees Celsius. After some research, we found a solution for both processes. We implemented soldering processes, which did not need a washing operation afterwards and used chillers, using ammonia. At this time we expected a change in the law, which would not allow the usage of these fluorinated hydrocarbons from 1990 onwards. In July of 2011, I found an article in the newspaper, with the headline: The European law initiative to stop step-by-step usage of fluorinated hydrocarbons gets strong critics.
There are 26 years between my work in the electronic manufacturing and today. The technical solutions have already been available in 1985 and now we are discussing a step-by-step stop. Twenty-six years later and we see still problems. Clearly, there was progress over the years. Nearly all used private refrigerators are working meanwhile without fluorinated hydrocarbons, but this is only a half-step to protect our environment. During 25 years, it should be possible to make such a small change in our society.
This brings me now directly to the headline of this article. Why is it that we had the information in 1985 but we are only now talking about a change in the law?
Let me give a second example, which I experienced with respect to environmental protection during my career. In 1995 we began efforts to find solutions to eliminate the usage of heavy metals in our products and our production processes. We were working on solutions to eliminate mercury in our acceleration sensors. After two years of research and the development of a micro-mechanical sensor, we could eliminate the mercury in our products. During the same time period, we were also working on a solution to eliminate Chrome 6 as a passivation medium in the galvanic zinc plating process. Here we found a solution with another passivation and eliminated the usage of Chrome 6 by assuring the same corrosion resistance as before. After all these efforts, a law was put in place, which limits the usage of heavy metal in products. Until today, it is possible to use heavy metals in products and production processes, if a certain percentage is not exceeded. This is a bad compromise in law making.
The two above examples took place in Europe and they did not directly guide us to an environmental disaster and are not the main element to prevent a climate change. But these examples show the consequences of politics and this is the reason that I fear we will not stop climate change. To put proper action in place to prevent climate change, we cannot act only locally. We need a global change in behavior. I do not see significant global political efforts to create a framework which will provoke the necessary changes.
Let us briefly reflect on the situation. We have the Kyoto protocol, in which the countries committed to reduce CO2 emission. This is an insufficient step, but a first step. However, the reality is that most of the countries will not fulfill their commitment. China is connected to the Kyoto protocol since 2010 at the Nairobi conference.
In June of 2011, we could read the news: China's energy consumption exceeded the energy consumption of the USA for the first time in history. What does this mean? China contains 1200 Mil. Inhabitants; the USA contains 300 Mil inhabitants. The energy consumption of a Chinese person is roughly one quarter of the energy consumption of an American. In the year 2003 this ratio was 1/5.7. That means the energy consumption in all parts of the world is increasing and will increase further. The good news is that the CO2 emission is not increasing like the energy consumption.
This is a good first step. However, I think it is not sufficient and too slow and it carries the risk that the implemented actions may lose speed. This step surely provoked the renewable energies to be promoted strongly during the last few years. Developments in the wind power industry have been great during the last few years and a nearly mature wind power industry can serve the market needs now. I would say the same for the photovoltaic and sun collector industry. I think in this industry there is still improvement potential, but it is on a good track. Heat pumps have developed to a mature technology. For the biomass usage and geothermic, there are still some steps to go before I would name them a mature technology. However, the production of energy is only a part of the whole solution.
In an analysis of the energy usage, we find that 27% of the energy is used in houses for living purposes, 20% of the energy is used by industry, 17% by the service sector, 32% for traffic and 1% by agriculture. This distribution is not exactly congruent with the greenhouse gas emission of the respective energy users (for example agriculture emits much more greenhouse gas than it consumes energy) but to find the action areas, it is a good assumption.
The most important action area is that of traffic. In this area a lot of action took place during the last few years. I remember the request of Ferdinand Piech, CEO at VW, for a car not using more than 3 liters of fuel on 100 km distance. A lot of engineers have been laughing about his request. Three liters is not a problem anymore and even the bigger cars are currently using rarely more than 7 liters of fuel per 100 km. However, in my opinion, the breakthrough was the step in the electro-mobility. This brings the CO2 emission during the usage of the car to zero. The task is now to get the electricity or the H2-gas for fuel cells out of a process that is not emitting CO2. From the technical point of view, I believe we are on the right track, even if there are some technical problems to be optimized and the cost, that a car will stay affordable, has to be achieved.
Returning to politics, the industry is discussing whether or not we should produce 1 Mil. electric cars per year in 2015 or in 2020. This discussion must be brought in the right direction by the people. In China in the Yangzi delta in a city like Shanghai, I would hope that in 2017 it would not be allowed to drive in the city with fuel. Only electric vehicles or hybrid cars, using electric engines should be allowed to access the town center. Small actions are already in place today. In some Chinese cities it is not allowed to travel on a motorbike to the city center during the daytime. Only electric-bikes are allowed. Declarations and laws in this direction would boost the development of electro-mobility dramatically. The technology is now available to enable this kind of request. To speed up this process, it is necessary to support it by law. But it must be applied immediately.
The second biggest energy user, households, represents, in my opinion, a highly complex subject. A lot of projects are ongoing to drive this subject ahead. The zero energy house or plus energy house projects are, in my opinion, necessary projects to show what is possible in this area. The knowledge and the experience with these projects need to be widely spread. In the cities we build buildings with huge glass facades; most of them are only facades. Why not use glass facades with a thin film of solar cells? There is one thing that always makes me angry and that is the new buildings in China. I am living in a 31- story high building, built in 2009. It is a very modern building and the decoration in the flat is beautiful. The flat has floor heating. It is composed of some electric heat wires, which are built into the floor. This cannot be energy efficient. In November, I took tape and put it around all the windows. Otherwise, the wind in the flat is very strong. We moved the couch in winter one meter away from the wall; otherwise it would be too cold to sit on it. We hung a big blanket on the windows behind the couch. All the new houses I see in our surrounding area are built in the same style. If I ask the Chinese employees in the plant, they are doing the same. In winter they are sitting in warm clothes in front of the television and turning on the heat. The heating is normally the air conditioning system. In my opinion, this is a waste of energy. As the Chinese become wealthier, they will not accept wearing warm clothes in front of the television and will use even more of this inefficient heating system in an uninsulated flat. This rise of energy consumption cannot be permitted. This brings me back to my demands on politics.
To assure that the latest knowledge of building technology is considered, it would be necessary to have independent energy consultants. The usage of these consultants should be mandatory for new buildings and large renovations. Energy balances have to become mandatory, before renovating or building a house. These energy balances should be a precondition for a building permit. And for the emerging countries there should be an attachment to the Kyoto protocol, which makes them use the right technology, that will not be obsolete in two or three years.
The third biggest energy consumer is industry. As with traffic and household use, there are also a lot of positive actions going on in the industry sector. Some industries have already started to reduce their CO2 emissions voluntarily. In a lot of countries, the companies are organized energy networks, to exchange ideas for energy reduction. Practically every industry area can participate in this. It starts with a thorough review of their processes; in particular, the latest developments in the drive and control technology can be used by every company. I have recently participated in a company energy audit. This audit verifies all energy usage and enables the user to write a catalog of energy reduction possibilities using a specialist. In this company, we found an impressive reduction potential of 20%.
If there is no enhancement in the law, not everybody will participate. Energy reduction targets should become a law. With this the development of energy efficient technologies would be promoted.
Below is a summary of our findings:
Environmental protection and the reduction of greenhouse gas emission will be not powerful enough without the framework, mandated by law. Our economy is driven by profit and only a little by sustainability. It is necessary to react quickly, before the emerging countries develop to such an extent that we cannot satisfy their hunger for energy any longer. Fortunately, there are a lot of technical solutions available. It is now our collective task to bring them as fast as possible to effectiveness. For this, it is also necessary to spread the knowledge about these latest developments and to train specialists in these areas.

The U.S. workforce has been turned on its (graying) head. New research finds that workers at or near retirement age are taking up a bigger share of the labor pool – a trend that's driven mainly by women. And in this ever-evolving jobs landscape, older men and women are projected to be working more in the next decade. Using the latest Census Bureau data, the Washington-based Employee Benefit Research Institute looked at workers' labor force participation rates over the last four …

How much in retirement savings do I need for a secure retirement? Is $100,000 enough? How about $700,000? Even more importantly, how much monthly income can I count on those savings providing to supplement my Social Security benefits? These are questions most of us have no idea how to answer. A soon-to-be-proposed regulation from the Department of Labor should help. It would require that statements from 401(k)-type accounts provide an estimate of monthly retirement income from savings in the …

Would you be willing to give up a portion of your salary if it meant having guaranteed income in retirement? A vast majority of you said yes. That sentiment, and other concerns, were revealed in a new study that underscores just how vulnerable American workers feel about being solely responsible for their financial well-being in retirement. Of some 1,000 workers surveyed, four in five say they'd sacrifice 5 percent or more of their salary if it meant having reliable income …

The Social Security benefit cut known as Chained CPI remains a piece of the deficit puzzle for reasons that baffle conservatives, veterans, progressives, and almost everyone in between. The $85 billion in sequester cuts for 2013 have begun and many in Washington have still said they're willing to cut the modest Social Security benefits we've earned by $127 billion over 10 years, even though Social Security by law remains separate from the budget and its deficit. Let's give every woman …

Retirement may be a stone's throw away for older boomers but a survey finds that many are in the dark about how much it'll take to fund their golden years. Two-thirds of about 1,100 respondents aged 55-60, and one-third of those 61-65, say they're not certain how much money they'll need to cover basic living expenses once they stop working. The findings of the Transition Boomers and Retirement Income Survey, conducted in June by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, seemed …

In 2011, the number of Americans taking early Social Security benefits dropped to a 35-year low, according to a new report from the Urban Institute. For the second consecutive year, those taking benefits fell (to 27% of the number of eligible older adults). That's down from 31% in 2009, reestablishing a 12-year downward trend interrupted only by the recent recession.

JOPLIN, MO.--- A well-loved Joplin teacher is honored at his school for his dedication in the classroom and his work after the 2011 tornado. Kalan Hubbard has taught sixth grade math for the past six years at Joplin's North Middle School. Farmers Insurance recognized him for it's "Thank A Million Teachers" program today. Hubbard was recognized by the company because of how he helped setup a central hub at the school right after the tornado. He also worked long hours making phone calls checking to see if the students in the district were alive after the devastation.
"It's a great feeling knowing that they saw it and recognized it, and knowing they could have nominated a number of any other teachers," said Kalan Hubbard, North Middle School Teacher.
The school also received a $2,500 check from Farmers Insurance to use for school supplies.

whether the jan lokpal bill will create a super-body that will lead this country into chaos, or whether the bill will cure a thousand ills affecting this country — it doesn't seem to matter. what matters to these people is that anna is superman. and with deep respect or even reverence for the superman in their minds, the crowd also feels like super-men.
bjp leader arun jaitley has pointed out a flaw in the jan lokpal bill drafted by anna and his advisers. that point in the bill allows phone tapping of even a rickshawala's nokia 1100 (with flashlight) to the prime minister's cellphone. it is a sensitive issue, which needs to be handled carefully...
who cares, said the man above. he had been involved in quite a lot of brawls, he revealed. "what do you think i am doing in ramlila ground?"
national pride is a very profitable commodity. the tv people loves it, though there is little proof that they value it. "private news channels are so obsessed with hazare that they have stopped showing other important news, especially floods in different parts of the country, particularly in eastern India," said janata dal (united) leader sharad yadav in parliament.
it is all about power. or ride the coattail of an old mentor until it is time to leave him.
or it is all about glamour.
anybody entering ramlila ground will see small groups of youngsters with paint in their hands, asking people whether they want an imprint of the tricolour on their cheeks — for free. many said yes.
this is the main tent where most people slept at night, and while it rained.
kewal mahilayen (only women).
where are the women?
a pretty girl sings in support of anna hazare. little girl, come here, have a chocolate. did mama tell you the difference among the jan lokpal bill, the lokpal bill and the ncpri draft lokpal mechanism? you look so happy. you seem to have figured it out in supporting hazare, the father figure. (a day after journey basket took this photo, she was seen in images filed by most news agency photographers)
the sadhu on the right looks like... hmm. hint: the sadhu was evicted from the same venue some months ago? jokes are doing the rounds that after he saw hazare's success in ramlila ground, he said, "Mein karu to sala character dhila hai."
no thumb impressions. only pens.
give me justice or suicide, says the poster.
gaurav sharma of indo-asian news service listens to the man, who said he was fired from his job unjustly. the company he used to work for is considered one of india's best state-owned oil firms. a human-interest story was developing over why he was fired. but the man said, patiently, eyeing gaurav, "my case had reached the supreme court and even the chief justice of india was involved." then gaurav immediately left the man. "why are there so many liars at ramlila ground, trying to come in the news?" said gaurav.
reporters are free to call this number for a sunday feature.
doing brisk business. a customer who has not yet donned any tricolour takes the plunge.
at the food stall. free food. strict discipline.
entering where the action is happening. no amount of waiting is painful when it's about seeing a glimpse of the second mahatma gandhi.
the lesser shown part of the protest site. this is where mobile toilets have been set up. they are overused.
new delhi railway station metro station. from this hole comes out hundreds of people heading in a beeline towards ramlila ground, which is a five-minute walk.

Mobile phone network EE will be providing high speed Wi Fi to music fans at this week's Glastonbury festival via a 4G tractor
If you've got tickets to Glastonbury but were worried you wouldn't be able to tweet pics of your favourite band or upload a video of your mates sloshing about in the mud, then rest assured, Everything Everywhere has you covered.
The mobile network operator will be doing its bit to ensure Glastonbury Festival attendees will have high-speed Wi-Fi coverage, courtesy of a tractor that has been converted into a roving Wi-Fi hotspot.
The tractor, which was provided by Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis, has been fitted with EE's network equipment that will provide Internet access to any punters within a 10 metre radius of it.
"We couldn't be more excited about this year's Glastonbury where we will be installing the first ever superfast 4G network at a UK festival to help those on-site stay connected," said EE brand director Spencer McHugh.
"Our 4G tractor demonstrates the innovative approach we're taking to bring the fastest mobile internet speeds to the UK in a uniquely Glastonbury way and uses similar technology to our fleet of 4G cabs trialled earlier this year."
It may be worth following EE on twitter this weekend if you plan to attend the festival as the mobile network provider will be tweeting updates about the tractor's location as it trundles around the fields.

Michigan's statewide four-year high-school graduation rate increased nearly 2 percent last year to 76.24 percent, according to data released Wednesday by the Michigan Center for Educational Performance and Information.
More than 53 percent of Michigan's school districts saw higher graduation rates, CEPI officials said, including Detroit Public Schools which boosted its rate by 5 percent, from 59.7 percent to 64.7 percent.
Statewide, the rate went up 1.9 percent from the 2011 rate of 74.33 percent.
"These numbers reflect the highest rates we have seen since we started reporting the data using a cohort methodology," said CEPI Director Thomas Howell. "This methodology allows us to track individual students from the first time they enroll as ninth-graders and has resulted in a more accurate measure of high school success for our students."

Jean-Charles Boisset serves as president of Boisset Family Estates, one of the world's leading family-owned wine companies, with wineries in Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Rhone Valley, the South of France, and expertise in French sparkling wines. Boisset's August 2009 purchase of Raymond Vineyards expanded the company's footprint in the New World, which already included properties in Canada and California's Russian River Valley, making it one of the top twenty-five producers in the US.
Jean-Charles has been vital to the family firm's expansion through organic growth and by building a collection of wineries that fit the family's vision and share its values. He instituted the concept of the "viniculteur," which redefined the company's traditional role to encompass a closer, more active interest in all aspects of winegrowing to ensure sustainable farming practices and premium quality. He also elevated Jean-Claude Boisset, the founding winery bearing his father's name, to new heights of quality, concentrating its activities on the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, limiting yields and practicing Biodynamic® farming methods.
Integral to Jean-Charles' long-term vision has always been a dedication to innovation and the environment, which is reflected in the organic and Biodynamic® farming techniques that have been implemented at Boisset's wineries, as well as alternative packaging to reduce environmental impact.
A member of various boards of directors in different fields, and active in environmental groups around the world, Jean-Charles is also a member of the Northern California Young Presidents Organization (YPO), the French Club, La Confrèrie des Chevaliers du Tastevin from Burgundy, La Commanderie du Bontemps et du Medoc from Bordeaux, and de L' Ordre du Coteaux from Champagne.
In June 2007, he was named to Decanter magazine's Top 50 Power Brokers in the global wine industry. In March 2008, he received the Meininger International Wine Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Meininger Group, publishers of Meininger's Wine Business International, and in December 2008 he was named "Innovator of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
Stephanie Putnam is the Director of Winemaking at Raymond Vineyards, where she oversees all aspects of winemaking for this iconic Napa Valley winery.
Before joining the Boisset Family Estates team, Stephanie spent eight years as winemaker at Far Niente Winery, where she contemporized their house style. Prior to that, she was part of the team at Hess Collection, where she began as a cellar worker and rapidly progressed to winemaker. While there she also worked with the winery's South American partners.
Throughout her tenure at these highly acclaimed Napa Valley estates, Stephanie has focused on producing high quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Her wines have won acclaim, including recognition in the Wine Spectator's Top 100, Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 and being named The Wine News Cabernet of the Year.
A Northern California native and graduate of U.C. Davis with a B.S. in Fermentation Science, Stephanie developed her passion for winemaking at an early age thanks to her family's appreciation of gourmet food and wine. She fondly remembers many childhood trips to the Napa Valley where her parents would come to enjoy and collect wine. Stephanie currently resides in Napa with her two large, lovable Labradors.
Eric Pooler is the Vineyard Manager at Raymond Vineyards, overseeing 300 acres of estate vineyards, as well as a dozen local winegrowers. Dedicated to farming in a sustainable and healthy manner, Eric is currently managing Raymond Vineyards transition towards organic and Biodynamic® certification for its estate vineyards.
A Northern California native, Eric started his career in the wine industry in Sonoma as the Kendall Jackson Wine Estates team pest control advisor. He was quickly promoted to assistant vineyard manager for Kendall Jackson Vineyards of Monterey properties, where he was able to hone his skills working with the finicky Pinot Noir grape. In 2005, he returned north as viticulturist for Hall Wines in Napa Valley before joining Boisset Family Estates in 2008 to oversee vineyards for DeLoach Vineyards.
Eric is involved in a number of community agricultural organizations and is currently a Director with the Napa County Farm Bureau, Co-Chairman of the Ag in the Classroom Committee and Co-Chairman of Napa County Young Farmers and Ranchers. He plans to become involved with Sonoma County's farming organizations, as well.
An outdoor enthusiast, Eric spends his time away from the vineyards fishing and surfing.

CHEYENNE - Beginning January 2014, hunters will be required to use an online application process to apply to hunt in Wyoming.
"Due to the recent budget cuts, printing costs for paper applications and processing of those applications was cut," said Jean Cole, fiscal chief for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD). "We had planned to go paperless with our application process in 2015, the cuts moved our timeline up one year."
The majority of hunters already submit applications through the department's electronic licensing system (ELS) with 95 percent of applications from both residents and non-residents coming in via ELS. The ELS is accessible via the WGFD website at wgfd.wyo.gov.
All nine WGFD offices are prepared to help those who need assistance with the process.
"We anticipate some of our customers will need help with the process, so we have very knowledgeable and professional staff members in all of our offices across the state and in our call center who are ready to help," Cole added. "In addition to our staff, each office will have a computer station available for walk-ins to apply right on the spot. We are trying to make it as easy as possible."
"An advantage of using the online process is the flexibility to wait until the very last minute to plan out a hunt and actually apply," Cole said. "A separate, helpful tool is the Plan Your Hunt section of our website."
Private, third-party application services exist to help hunters navigate the application processes of various states. For those looking to use the services of an outfitter, Wyoming outfitters are also a viable option for those wanting help with the application process. For a list of outfitters in Wyoming, visit the Wyoming Outfitters Board at: outfitters.state.wy.us. Application deadlines for each species will remain unchanged from previous years. The deadlines for non-resident elk and resident spring wild turkey applications (5 p.m. Jan. 31, 2014) will be the first for which the online-only application process is in effect. For a full list of application deadlines, see wgfd.wyo.gov (select"Hunting" then "Plan Your Hunt").
Hunters needing more information about applying to hunt in Wyoming, can contact Jennifer Doering at 307-777-4517.

Jobs accused of unfair comparisons and living in "distortion field".
Google's Andy Rubin has already responded to Steve Jobs' incredible attack on Android by tweeting the open source code for the Big G's OS. But RIM CEO Jim Balsillie has gone for the more traditional approach, unleashing a blistering attack on Apple's head honcho following his derogatory comments regarding BlackBerry.
First up, he addresses Jobs' claim that 7-inch tablets are "tweeners" that will be DOA, a direct reference to RIM's recently outed PlayBook. Balsillie says, "For those of us who live outside of Apple's distortion field, we know that 7" tablets will actually be a big portion of the market and we know that Adobe Flash support actually matters to customers who want a real web experience."
Warming to his theme, Balsillie also claims that Apple's comparison of its iPhone sales with those of BlackBerrys are flawed, largely because they compare different data. "Apple's preference to compare its September-ending quarter with RIM's August-ending quarter doesn't tell the whole story because it doesn't take into account that industry demand in September is typically stronger than summer months."
He also reckons that, "…many customers are getting pretty tired of being told what to think by Apple," also suggesting that, "there is more to the story and sooner or later, even people inside the distortion field will begin to resent being told half a story."
Is Balsillie right? Or has Jobs got a point? Tell us who you're siding with on our Facebook and Twitter pages now.

Taco Bell, the fast-food chain that caters to late-night snacking, is making a play for the breakfast crowd.
The Mexican-style restaurant chain has introduced a breakfast menu at almost 800 restaurants, mostly in nearly a dozen Western states. Thursday's rollout adds to the scramble among fast-food heavyweights competing for the morning allegiance of consumers.
Taco Bell Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer Brian Niccol says if the launch goes as expected, the chain hopes it breakfast burritos will be on store menu boards nationwide by the start of 2014.
The chain's breakfast staples include burritos stuffed with eggs and either sausage, bacon or steak; hash browns; hot or iced coffee; and orange juice.
Breafast is the fastest-growing business in fast food, according to NPD Group.

Electronic Chronic 2 – Na Palm (ft. Milk n' Cookies)
The new Electronic Chronic episode is out, podcast episode 2, by the EDMc, Na Palm with special guest, DJ Milk n Cookies. I've had a chance to listen to the entire mix once now, the first listen is all about exposure, hearing how it compares to the first episode with DJ Bad Boy Bill. I've already started it for a second listen, now I'm noticing sections I enjoy or didn't fully notice the first time around. Like the first episode, it only took a few plays to become addicted, but every time I noticed something else. A Clint Eastwood sample in the beginning was something I noticed right away, now I'm noticing even more from the first five minutes and the music selected for my enjoyment (and your enjoyment as well). The end to part one grabs my attention once more with John Dahlback's Embrace Me as remixed by the Dirty South. Right after that you heard Na Palm vs. Madeon on the Martin Solveig Night Out bootleg. That was the highlight of my first listen, I'm excited to find out what will become my favorite section after a more repeated listen (an hour of glory is tough to process all within the first hour).
DJ Milk n' Cookies is a unique duo out of Chicago, not only are they related, but they are identical twins! This is definitely the first I've ever heard of identical twins DJing together, and I love the idea! They are leading the Post-Bro House music movement. What a great pick by Na Palm to feature yet another outstanding DJ (this time, as he puts it, a 'Midwest monster') and spreading more awareness through his podcast series. Plus, the first half showcases Na Palm's lyrical talent over some of the greatest EDM hits so far this year. The EDMc is here to stay, so sit back and enjoy his latest.

The Cheque Truncation System (CTS) is being introduced for speedy clearance of cheques and demand drafts. Banks cannot charge savings bank account customers for cheques issued for the first time to conform to the CTS-2010 standard. Banks will be free to charge from the next time.CAPITAL MARKETSThe Securities and Exchange Board of India has introduced an automated system for selection of arbitrators from a common pool if members and clients of stock exchanges fail to find an arbitrator to resolve their disputes.COMMODITIESThe Forwards Markets Commission will penalise brokers for carrying out commodity trades without informing the clients through mobile text messages. From 1 April 2013, Rs 500 will be charged for each violation, with a cap of Rs 5,000 per day per client. The penalty is an attempt to curb trade through fake accounts. Commodity exchanges will have to send email alerts to clients who have provided their email address.INSURANCEThe insurance regulator has introduced standard definitions for 46 commonly used terms as well as 11 critical illness nomenclatures and procedures used by health insurers.

OUR VIEW | Our view of the endorsement process
Our nine-member editorial board has spent the past two months interviewing political candidates in preparation for our 2012 general election endorsements, which commence today.
Longtime Bremerton Sun Editor Gene Gisley didn't believe in this newspaper tradition, and the Opinion page was clear of endorsements during his tenure. Every fall there are requests that we also drop the practice, because it may show bias or upset half of our readership. But we value the history of editorial boards — which are separate from news reporters who cover races — offering an informed opinion as one factor in the democratic process. These days we take it a step further, publishing videos online so you can hear candidates answer our questions as well. Our editorial board is not telling you how to vote, we're adding our two cents from a unique perspective.
The principle that we have met with each candidate is fundamental to the endorsement. That's what gives our group's opinion additional value — all voters have not met with candidates or discussed each race with nine people to reach agreement.
Given that underpinning, it does not makes sense for our board to endorse a presidential candidate. We have no greater access to the candidates or research material than you do. We will not be offering an endorsement for either President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, and instead encourage you to research each candidate and make an informed choice.
We will make endorsements on other federal offices that represent our area, some state offices, all ballot measures and all local legislative races. We begin with the congressional 6th District and Senate races today. Look for the rest to come through this week.
The Kitsap Sun's editorial opinions and endorsements are done by the editor and opinion editor, in consultation with the editorial board. The board is made up of Editor David Nelson, Opinion Editor Jim Campbell, Publisher Charles Horton, Operations Director Ron Muhleman, and community members Peter Barnett (Central Kitsap), Bob Cairns (Manchester), Larry Iversen (Central Kitsap), Christine Johnson (Port Orchard) and Val Tollefson (Bainbridge Island).

Though I'm not sure anyone pays attention to them anymore, the President delivered his weekly address this weekend, and it was all about how Congress has to help "responsible" homeowners (because the irresponsible ones deserve nothing, after all they fleeced those responsible banks to get the loan). In the address, President Obama contrasted his approach with a Congress that won't expand refinancing for underwater borrowers, by saying that his Administration "teamed up with state attorneys general to investigate the terrible way many homeowners were treated, and secured a settlement from the nation's biggest banks – banks that were bailed out with taxpayer dollars – to help families stay in their homes."
So what about that? We know from early reports that the bulk of the consumer relief in the first three months of the foreclosure fraud settlement went to short sales, which involve families forced into SELLING their homes, not staying in them. The bulk of these short sales, which amount to a bank waiving the right to seek money from a homeowner who sells a home for less than they owe on their mortgage, occurred in states whose laws bar banks from going after those homeowners anyway. Other aspects of the settlement are largely incomplete at the moment.
Nevertheless, I have seen a number of letters received by families with congratulatory statements like "You are approved for a full principal forgiveness of your account." There are lots of these in the pipeline, the big banks say, and they're just in the process of getting out the door.
There's just one thing about that: the same servicers who bollixed their response to a crush of loan modification requests are the ones doing the forgiving of principal. So they predictably make mistakes. Only in this case, it's less a mistake than an example of how easy the banks have gotten off with this settlement.
Jackie Esposito, of Guilford, Conn., got a letter like that. But she wasn't elated — because she doesn't owe the money anymore. She and her husband filed for bankruptcy three years ago. The roughly $64,000 they owed Chase has been legally wiped out […]
Others have received similar letters about phantom debts. A borrower in Florida received word this month that Chase was erasing $190,065.10 of debt that had already been wiped out. Bank of America told a Virginia resident that a $231,767 home equity loan was being forgiven, even though the debt was discharged last May.
It's bad enough that these letters are inaccurate. But even worse are the tax problems that they may create for people like Ms. Esposito. In most cases, the Internal Revenue Service considers debt that is forgiven to be taxable income. One exception occurs in bankruptcy; when a debt is discharged, it is not taxable.
But the letters sent by Chase and Bank of America clearly warn that the forgiveness will be reported to the I.R.S. If so, these borrowers may have to prove that the banks erred in claiming to have forgiven the debts.
This refers the principal reduction tax nightmare that I've written about repeatedly.
Gretchen Morgenson, inquiring with banks as to why they sent letters discharging debt that homeowners no longer owed, found that the bank often still holds liens against their properties, regardless of the prior debt forgiveness. And this is what they claim to be giving up. Bank of America said they did this in 12,000 similar cases. The banks also swear up and down that, just because they're releasing an effectively defunct lien, that they won't try to submit these cases for credit under the mortgage settlement. But then why send the letter? And why send a letter that looks EXACTLY THE SAME as the letters announcing principal forgiveness on active loans?
Waiver of deficiency judgment is eligible as a credit under the settlement, and that's relatively similar to this scenario. Joseph Smith, the foreclosure fraud settlement monitor, claims his office will "review compliance" of the loans and make the determination on qualification for credits. So he's going to go through the documentation, then? But this is the whole point; the documentation is bogus!
I don't think it's possible that banks are just nicely announcing the discharge of a lien with no expectation that they can slide some of these through the system and get credit for a loan forgiveness. Otherwise, why send the letters now, in conjunction with the settlement? And BofA admits to sending 12,000 of them. Even a small percentage getting through means they get settlement credit for millions, perhaps tens of millions, of dollars of phantom debt that they could never collect anyway.
The banks have so many options to reduce their exposure in this settlement, it's impossible for the settlement monitor to stay on top of them all.

Further readings for the Pentax 645D
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Pentax have launched the 645Z medium-format digital SLR, featuring a new 51.4Mp CMOS sensor. Priced at £7,699, including a 55mm f/2.8 lens, it doesn't cost much more than some pro 35mm DSLRs, but does it offer significant benefits? We preview the new Pentax 645Z and look back at Sensor Scores from its predecessor the 645D to help us decide.
Leica's re-imagined S medium format camera adopts the 30 x 45mm 37.5-Mpix CCD of the original Leica S2 but adds improved image processing, built-in GPS and a number of other refinements. Read on to find out how well the new camera performs.
Nikon's retro styled Df harks back to the days film externally, but the metal shell with its plethora of dials and buttons conceals a state-of-the-art 16-Mpix CMOS sensor intended for the worst imaginable lighting conditions. Read on to find out how this new addition to the range performs.
The Nikon D5300 is the successor to the year old D5200 featuring a similar 24-Mpix CMOS sensor of it predecessor but lacking an optical low pass filter for improved clarity. Read on to find out how well the new camera performs.
Adding a new line to the Canon EOS range, the EOS 6D is a fusion of the EOS 7D and the EOS 5D Mark III, that also includes some trickle down technology from the EOS-1D X. How does the EOS 6D fare against its competitors and more illustrious stable mates? Our tests reveal the answer.

Obama getting updates on Oklahoma severe weather
President Obama is getting updates on the severe weather -- including a tornado -- ravaging Oklahoma, a White House official said Monday.
FEMA is "closely monitoring the storm," the official said, and Obama has been notified by Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco and continues to receive updates as more information becomes available.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has spoken with Gov. Mary Fallin "to make sure there are no unmet needs and to make clear that at the president's direction the Administration and FEMA stand ready to provide all available assistance in response to the severe weather," the official said.

Question *everything* and blend the old with the new. And do so in the most efficient manner scientifically possible. That seems to be Chip Kelly's philosophy.
Grantland football writer Chris B. Brown writes a nice piece on the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles today that shows that Chip Kelly isn't reinventing football, but he is certainly innovating the way his team operates on a minute-by-minute basis.
It starts out light, with Kelly poking some fun at himself but also in a revealing manner:
"I was probably a pain in the ass as a little kid,"Kelly said recently. "I questioned everything. I've always been a why guy, trying to figure out why things happen and what they are and just curious about it from that standpoint."
It goes on to talk about many of the things we've come to know about Chip. That he really does live and breathe football. That there are no walk-throughs on Saturdays, just normal full-speed practices. That there is a reason for the way his team does everything. That he's not revolutionizing the game of football but simply attempting to exploit other teams by maximizing the skill and preparedness of his own weapons.
There's probably not a ton in the piece that diehard Birds' fans don't already know, but if there's a chance you could learn something new, Chip Kelly would probably think you should.
And a quote to finish with that I really think captures Kelly well:
"Coaching is one thing and one thing only: It is creating an environment so the player has an opportunity to be successful," Kelly told those high school coaches. "That is your job as a coach. When you teach him to do that, get out of his way."

The bipartisan coalition behind a contentious overhaul of immigration laws stuck together on a critical early series of test votes Thursday, turning back challenges from conservative critics as the Senate Judiciary Committee refined legislation to secure the nation's borders and offer eventual citizenship to millions living illegally in the United States.
In a cavernous room packed with lobbyists and immigration activists, the panel rejected three attempts by opponents of the bill to impose tougher conditions on border security before unauthorized immigrants could apply for legal status.
Republicans Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona — part of a bipartisan group that helped draft the measure — joined all 10 Democrats in blocking each of the changes.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican who has yet to announce a position on the overall legislation, opposed one of the proposed changes but backed others.
Assuming the core political alignment remains intact, the committee is expected to approve the measure within two weeks and clear the way for an epic showdown on the Senate floor in June.
Painstakingly negotiated by a bipartisan "Gang of Eight," the measure would clear the way for tens of thousands of new high-tech and lesser-skilled workers to enter the country.

iMac G5 not connecting to wireless
Hi all,
So, up until now, my iMac G5 has been able to connect to my home network. It finds the network, and comes up with the dialogue to enter the WEP key, so everything is fine there. Unfortuanetly, when I hit "enter", it shows the spinning wheel for a 3 seconds then says "Connection timeout." Before it WOULD connect, I'd just have to click enter a few times before it actually connected. Now it won't.
Before anyone asks:
You have another Airport card for troubleshooting?
You could have a signal issue...are other devices able to connect wirelessly?
It sounds like your iMac area MAY be becoming increasingly inhospitable to the WIFI waves shooting through the air.
1. Bring the iMac right next to the router (or whatever WIFI source you have).
2. Test.
3. If still no connection ->Flush cache (why not) ->Ensure that your settings are correct on the router & in your Airport settings -> Restart -> If still unsuccessful: Try your iMac at a friend's house (see if you can connect to his router)
What does Apple System Profiler have to say about the card? They do fail.

Quite an exciting time for U.S. man DaMarcus Beasley
Apr 1, 2013, 7:15 AM EDT
What a few days this has been for DaMarcus Beasley, the U.S. international midfielder-turned-defender.
First, the veteran U.S. man re-established himself as a contender for Jurgen Klinsmann's national team, starting at left back in two World Cup qualifiers as the United States' regained balance and footing on its drive for Brazil 2014.
Beasley punctuated this 10-day period with a goal for Puebla in Liga MX action Sunday. His club lost to U.A.N.L., but Beasley's goal off the bench was a highlight against the current Liga MX leader, at least.
While his goal (Beasley's third in 2013, while appearing in all 12 matches for the club during the ongoing Clausura campaign) was surely an important marker, what Beasley has done internationally is the bigger talking point here.
Consider that Beasley just firmly inserted himself into the conversation for a fourth World Cup cycle. Fourth – an impressive sum by any measure.
Remember, he had just turned 20 when Bruce Arena approached him on a bus one day in Asia, informing the skinny young winger that he would start the next day against Portugal as the United States opened its World Cup 2002 account. All U.S. soccer patriots know how that one turned out.
Since then, Beasley has played his part in World Cup 2006, World Cup 2010 and now into the qualifying picture for 2014. We'll see how far the Indiana native can take this one.
No, Beasley isn't the perfect outside back for Klinsmann, still more midfielder than defender. Nor is Beasley likely to displace Fabian Johnson as the team's first-choice left back.
But even when Johnson is healthy, it is possible that Klinsmann sees Beasley as an option at left back, an attack-minded choice for these home matches to come, where Honduras, Panama or Jamaica will arrive with a mission to defend, looking to muck up the match and escape the States with a potentially valuable draw.
- bigdinla - Apr 1, 2013 at 7:32 AM
Or maybe his play will get JK to consider him at LW. He would bring much needed pace and his defense would allow for overlapping runs from Fabian Johnson!
- Steve Davis - Apr 1, 2013 at 9:12 AM
It's a great point. I should certainly have mentioned Beasley as an option higher up the field, as well. (Glad we have such readers at PST!)
- pjbowmaster - Apr 1, 2013 at 10:24 PM
Yup….Beasley has been in good form in Mexico for at least a year now. This call up was overdue. And for me, he is still as good as ANY other option on the left side. I really would like to see Fabian Johnson and Beasley play together.

They're romantic, they're relaxing, they're a perfect way to fill up a weekend afternoon and a good excuse to soak up some extra vitamin D. Who doesn't love a picnic?
But before you pack up that wicker basket, take a survey of your dinner. Dangerous food additives? Check. Pesticides? Check. Food poisoning? Check (maybe).
Some of America's most popular picnic foods harbor all kinds of unwanted junk, in addition to being just plain unhealthy. Whether you're trying to eat healthier, or you just want to avoid food poisoning, we've got healthy alternatives to these unhealthy basket staples.
Sugary Soda
Full of empty calories, those 140-calorie cans of convenience may travel well to a picnic, but they're full of preservatives linked to kidney damage and dyes that may cause liver cancer.
The cans themselves are lined with bisphenol A (aka BPA), a chemical linked to brain cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, and other diseases.
Think fruit juice is any better? It really isn't. While you get some vitamins and minerals, you're still swilling a lot of sugar without the healthy fiber you get eating whole fruit.
Brew a pitcher of iced tea, and pack it in a mason jar. Full of antioxidants and low in calories, tea is a healthy drink without all the toxic food-packaging chemicals. Or try one of our 8 Healthy Sodas.
9 Disturbing Side Effects of Soda Filthy Grilled Shrimp
If your picnic plans include grilling, leave the imported shrimp at home. Between the banned antibiotics, pesticides, bacterial residues, rodent hair, and insect fragments frequently detected in imported shrimp, it's one picnic staple that deserves to get left behind at the seafood counter.
Hunt down wild-caught American shrimp for the cleanest alternative to the stuff imported from South America and Asia, recommends the nonprofit Food & Water Watch. If you can't find any, take along some smaller filets of wild Alaskan salmon for a great dose of omega-3s that can handle the heat of any grill.
Toxic Fruit Salad
Nonorganic fruits can harbor up to 64 different pesticide residues. Summer staples like nectarines, peaches, grapes, and blueberries have some of the highest levels, according to the Environmental Working Group's most recent Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
Even with the pesticides, nonorganic fruit salad is still healthier than the other mayo-laden sides most people tote to picnics. But use as much organic fruit as possible to lower your exposure to pesticides linked to nerve damage, hormone disruption, and other reproductive problems.

Thanks for the kind words, Aboo.
Up until the end of January I did write a little more frequently, but I've been away for a month and now I'm busy again. I will try to up it to maybe 2-3 articles a week, although I can't promise that.
What kind of articles would you like to see?

A Fine Romance: Jewish Songwriters, American Songs is a traveling exhibit about the contributions of iconic Jewish songwriters such as Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein to the great "American Songbook" during the period 1910-1965. It opens at the University of Central Florida Libraries, East Orlando Campus on September 8, 2011. The best songwriters of this time combined a genius for melody, a talent for pairing it with the perfect words, and an ability to connect with a wide audience. A high percentage of them were Jewish, from families that had immigrated to America in the 1800s or fled pogroms and persecution in Europe at the turn of the century. Their sophisticated and romantic songs—"Body and Soul," "Over the Rainbow," "That Old Black Magic," "It Had to Be You"—became beloved classics of American popular culture.
A Fine Romance: Jewish Songwriters, American Songs, 1910-1965 was developed by Nextbook, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Jewish literature, culture, and ideas, and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. The national tour of the exhibit has been made possible by grants from the Charles H. Revson Foundation, the Righteous Persons Foundation, the David Berg Foundation, and an anonymous donor, with additional support from Tablet Magazine: A New Read on Jewish Life.

St. Patrick's Day is one of the best days of the year. I love every holiday, but one tied so closely to my heritage which consists of wearing a fabulous color, listening to wonderful music, and eating a favorite meal is extra special.
And this year, I finally get to celebrate it as a redhead. Life is as it should be.
This is the third shade of red that I'm on... you saw the original tint in a few posts here, then it was vibrant red/orange (which you might have spied on Instagram), and three weeks ago we toned it down to more of a brown/auburn shade. But the more I wash my hair, the more the orange underneath peeks through, and when the sunshine hits it, as in these photos, it's still pretty bright.
At least I won't be lost in the crowd.
What I'm Wearing:
- Teal blouse by Wrapper - hand-me-down
- Skirt by teeze me - hand-me-down - was originally a dress, refashioned by me
- Green tights from Target
- Nude pumps by GUESS - from Marshalls
- Earrings from Forever 21 in Times Square (bought them last Tuesday)
- Shamrock necklace - pendant from Joann Fabrics
What are your plans for St. Patrick's day? I've got school, a meeting with a makeup artist I will be working with, and then corned beef and cabbage for supper with my family. It will be nice and low key... got another full week to rest up for!
Enjoy the day! "May you always have a clean shirt, a clean conscience, and a bob in the pocket." ;)

Hoping to end current speculation over possible involvement in the 5 Oct. incident on the Mekong River that led to the discovery of 12 deaths and the seizure of 920,000 yaba (methamphetamine) pills on two Chinese cargo ships, Mongla NDAA official Sao Hseng La adamantly denied any connection between his organization and both the murders of the crew and drug trafficking discovered Tuesday. An anonymous official with the United Wa State Army (UWSA) also denied any involvement in the incident.
The 12 bodies of ship crew members were discovered after a shootout on the river between hijackers and Thai authorities. The crew members had been blindfolded, had their hands tied behind their back, and were either shot or had slit throats. Details have yet to emerge about the characteristic markings of the drugs seized on board. The estimated street value (in Tachilek) of the pills seized is Baht 46 million ($ 1.5 million).
Signature markings are often imprinted upon yaba pills, indicating specific regions or organizations of origin. One known marking is the "WY" imprint often associated with the production of yaba by UWSA related manufacturers.
Yaba with UWSA related origins has also been identified as hard in consistency, high in quality, and having a distinct smell. However, imitations of the "WY" imprints have also been noted, as other manufacturers have hoped to pass off their inferior product as the UWSA's.
The October 5th incident's mysterious circumstances have led China to temporarily suspend any ships from normal business on the Mekong and caused much speculation over who is to blame for the drugs on board and subsequent murders. Sao Hseng La believes that China has had no doubt that the NDAA was not involved in the event.
"Of course, I cannot speak for other groups," he said. "But I can assure you that the NDAA has nothing to do with the affair."
The NDAA has long received aid from China in the interest of eliminating drugs in areas under their control, including the support of police resources since 1997. The UWSA has also cooperated with China to help combat drug production. Their current partnership began in 2005 when the UWSA controlled areas were officially declared drug free. China also provided the UWSAwith 100 tons of rice on 26th June 2011.

History is not of the side of the South Carolina Stingrays.
Kelly Cup Playoffs
Eastern Conference Quarterfinal
Wheeling Nailers vs. South Carolina Stingrays
Game 1: Wheeling 3, South Carolina 0
Game 2: Wheeling 3, South Carolina 2, OT
Game 3: Wheeling 1, South Carolina 0
Game 4: Friday: South Carolina at Wheeling, 7 p.m.
Game 5: x-Saturday: South Carolina at Wheeling, 7 p.m.
Game 6: x-Tuesday: Wheeling at South Carolina, 7:05 p.m.
Game 7: x-Wednesday: April 30: Wheeling at South Carolina, 7:05 p.m.
x - if necessary
Only once in ECHL playoff history has a team come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. In 2010, Cincinnati rallied from a 3-0 hole to win four straight games in the American Conference finals. The Cyclones eventually went on to win the Kelly Cup title, beating Idaho in five games.
The Stingrays face a similar task beginning Friday night as they take on Wheeling in Game 4 of their best-of-seven Kelly Cup Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va.
South Carolina trails Wheeling, 3-0, in the series. A loss Friday in Game 4 and the Stingrays will be eliminated from the playoffs in the opening round for the second straight season. Game 5, if needed, would be played Saturday night beginning at 7 p.m. at WesBanco Arena.
"It can be done, but we're not worried about winning the series or even getting to a Game 5, we just need to win Game 4," said Stingrays coach Spencer Carbery. "Let's start with a win in Game 4 and then we can worry about what happens after that. I can tell you, we're not going to go away quietly. We're going to battle until the final buzzer."
Coming off their best performance of the series in Game 3, a 1-0 loss on Wednesday, Carbery said the team is still confident they can beat the Nailers.
"The problem is not us generating scoring chances, the problem has been with us putting the puck in the back of the net," Carbery said. "It just shows you how little the margin of error is during the playoffs. The key to winning one-goal games in the playoffs is getting those big saves or big goals in those crucial moments."
Wheeling goalie Mike Condon has seen to that. Condon, a rookie, has allowed just two goals the entire series and has two shutouts. Condon led the league with six shutouts during the regular season and has yet to lose in the month of April in seven games.
"He's been the difference in the series, no question," Carbery said. "I'm not sure he's in our heads. You'd have to ask the players. We did a better job of disrupting what he likes to do in Game 3 and we've got to continue that as the series moves forward."

Oil declined as manufacturing shrank in China and the euro-area, bolstering concern that fuel consumption will diminish.
Futures fell as much as 2 percent after China's economy contracted for a sixth month in April, according to a preliminary reading of a purchasing managers' index. Oil demand in the world's second-biggest crude-consuming country dropped to the lowest level since October. Euro-area services and manufacturing output slipped.
"The Chinese manufacturing numbers are a bit disappointing as is the European data," said Phil Flynn, vice president of research at futures brokerage PFGBest in Chicago. "The apparent slowdown in manufacturing in these important markets is raising demand concern." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-23/oil-decreases-after-manufacturing-shrinks-in-china-euro.html

Over the weekend we were tipped off to an FCC filing for a certain Motorola device with the model number T225. From the looks of the label placement and outline of the device we are guessing it corresponds to some sort of tablet, but unfortunately this isn't one of the more fruitful FCC filings we have ever seen. The obvious guess is the Motorola XOOM, but a quick search of the model number returns little in terms of results. The T225 might suggest the device indeed uses a Tegra 2 processor inside. At the very least the 'T' probably has something to do with tablet.
With nothing much left to go on we can only speculate. Look like the Motorola XOOM to you? A second, unannounced tablet perhaps? It might even be just another Android phone (that we may or may not have seen yet). Whatever it is it received its approval at the end of December.

Traditionally, Interop has been about the "interoperability" of technology platforms, networks, and a variety of solutions that together allow IT to operate efficiently. As IT infuses all aspects of modern life and innovation continues at a rapid pace, "Interop" has new connotations--not only does it stand for the interoperability of technologies but also of business and IT, of digital futures advanced by information technology, of marketing and sales working in conjunction with IT leaders. Organizations work when business and IT interoperate.
The Business of IT Track (BOIT) celebrates this new definition of interoperability by bringing you cutting-edge content on the interplay between technology and great business outcomes. BOIT features leaders from a variety of roles in the organization, all of whom converge on the premise that today, IT and the Business are synonymous.

|IT Innovation Crisis: Getting to the Culture of Yes
The IT Organization is the one most lambasted for living in a culture of "NO" in which IT Pros are seen as gatekeepers preventing the rest of the organization from being innovative. This perception- vast in its implications- is easily remediable via the age-old method of "listening and response" whereby IT Organizations create (and publicize) perennial listening-posts and create transparency between what is asked of them and what they return. This session explores ways to put IT at the top of the popularity charts and to expose how IT is in reality the largest source of innovation in the company.

|Programming Diversity
It's been scientifically proven that more diverse communities and workplaces create better products and the solutions to difficult problems are more complete and diverse themselves. Companies are struggling to find adequate talent. So why do we see so few women, people of color, and LGBTQ people at our events and on the about pages of our websites? Even more curiously, why do 60% of women leave the tech industry within 10 years? Why are fewer women choosing to pursue computer science and related degrees than ever before? Why have stories of active discouragement, dismissal, harassment, or worse become regular news? In this talk we'll examine the causes behind the lack of diversity in our communities, events, and workplaces. We'll discuss what we can do as community members, event organizers, and co-workers to not only combat this problem, but to encourage positive change by contributing to an atmosphere of inclusivity.
