Our warming world affects all people and ecosystems, particularly the poor who already suffer disproportionately from climate-change impacts. Lessons from Thailand: Mobilizing Investment in Energy Efficiencyby Athena Ballesteros and Louise Helen Brown - April 01, 2013 Developing countries will need about $531 billion of additional investments in clean energy technologies every year in order to limit global temperature rise to 2° C above pre-industrial levels, thus preventing climate change's worst impacts. To attract investments on the scale required, developing country governments, with support from developed countries, must undertake "readiness" activities that will encourage public and private sector investors to put their money into climate-friendly projects. WRI's six-part blog series, Mobilizing Clean Energy Finance, highlights individual developing countries' experiences in scaling up investments in clean energy and explores the role climate finance plays in addressing investment barriers. The cases draw on WRI's recent report, Mobilizing Climate Investment. The development of Thailand's energy efficiency sector is an interesting case study. It demonstrates how strong government leadership combined with strategic support from international climate finance can drive the transition toward an energy-efficient economy. In the early 1990s, Thailand's economy was growing rapidly at 10 percent per year; the power sector was growing even faster. The government recognized that conserving energy would provide a low-cost way to meet its citizens' rising demand for energy. Read more The Private Sector and International Development: A Love Affair, or Cold Feet?by Leo Horn-Phathanothai - March 27, 2013 The private sector is a crucial partner in advancing sustainable development, and bilateral aid agencies are grappling with ways to learn from and leverage the activities of companies and markets. As the worlds of business and of aid increasingly intersect—and as development budgets are reined in even as demands on them grow—the pressure is to do more in partnership with the private sector. The real challenge, though, is to do better. This was the headline message from a recent roundtable discussion with representatives from nine bilateral donor agencies and invitees from the private sector, co-organized by WRI and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) in London (see notes from the roundtable). Both sides desire a strengthened relationship. Donor agencies see the private sector as an indispensable partner for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of aid. Agencies are looking for important sources of ideas, technology, and financing to scale up development solutions. One example is the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF), which is funded by the Australian, British, Danish, Dutch, and Swedish aid agencies. AECF is improving livelihoods of poor people in rural Africa by supporting innovation and new business models to help small-scale farmers adapt to climate change and promote investment in the generation of low-cost, clean, renewable energy. Private sector actors seek clearer policy signals and more consistent support from donor agencies, particularly in understanding and navigating local politics. They also seek opportunities to develop new products and new markets, benefiting from the "de-risking" role that the public sector can play. Read more New Blog Series Will Answer Your Questions on Climate Financeby Sarah Parsons and Shilpa Patel - March 21, 2013 Now is a critically important time for the world to focus on climate finance. Developing nations—those least responsible for causing global warming but most vulnerable to its impacts—need funding to adopt clean energy, protect infrastructure from sea level rise, and engage in other adaptation and mitigation strategies. But these activities are costly—the world will need to figure out how to fund them now in order to protect countries from future climate change. The problem is that it's hard to draw attention to a topic that's difficult to understand. The issue of climate finance is decidedly complex. Several entities--think-tanks, banks and other financial institutions, international institutions, governments, and public sector agencies--are involved in myriad activities related to climate finance. Understanding how they operate, interact, and contribute can be confusing. Even the vocabulary that defines climate finance can be inconsistent, abstract, and nebulous at times. These complexities make climate finance an issue that's hard for people--even experts, sometimes --to wrap their heads around. Introducing the Climate Finance FAQs Series That's where WRI's new blog series, Climate Finance FAQs, comes in. Our experts will attempt to shed light on basic climate finance issues through a series of blog posts. By explaining these topics in plain language, we can make climate finance more accessible--and hopefully, draw broader attention to the pressing issue of how to pay for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Read more Are Developed Nations Falling Short on Their Climate Finance Commitments?by Pieter Terpstra - March 20, 2013 UPDATE 4/11/13: After this blog post was published, the OECD released updated figures for 2010 and 2011. The data still shows a decrease in commitments for adaptation, mitigation, and climate finance, as this blog post states. However, adaptation expenditures were 3 percent higher in 2011 than in 2010, as opposed to unchanged. (View updated figures.) The changes in the numbers are a result of donors entering new data for previous years or updating their old data. Preliminary data for 2012 shows that aid to developing countries continued to fall. Detailed figures for 2012 will be released in June 2013. At the 2009 U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen, developed nations committed to provide a collective $100 billion per year by 2020 to help developing countries mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change's impacts. Recently, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) released some surprising new data on this pledge. The figures indicate that developed nations' recent climate finance contributions have fallen rather than risen toward the level of their 2020 commitment. A Look at the New OECD Data The OECD is a consortium of 34 wealthy countries. Among other joint initiatives, it provides a platform to monitor and share statistics on aid flows and climate finance contributed by its members. Most OECD members report both their climate finance expenditures and commitments using the "Rio Markers" (see text box), and the OECD secretariat periodically makes these numbers public. OECD members' climate finance contributions represent a significant portion of the collective $100 billion commitment, so the numbers reported by the OECD give a good indication of developments in the climate finance field. Surprisingly, new OECD numbers show that while adaptation expenditures in 2011 remained the same as in 2010, expenditures for mitigation activities decreased. Plus, the total commitment for climate finance decreased from $23 billion in 2010 to $17 billion in 2011. While a "commitment" refers to the total amount of money a country will spend on an adaptation/mitigation project over a multi-year period—which is reported at the beginning of a project—an "expenditure" refers to the amount a country spends in a particular year on adaptation/mitigation activities. In January 2013, the OECD updated its data for 2011. It is difficult, of course, to predict or analyze trends based on only two years of data (the only data that's currently available on OECD climate finance commitments). But given developed nations' agreement to scale up climate finance significantly by 2020, this decrease is surprising—and could be concerning. Read more 4 Ways the Green Climate Fund Can Support "Readiness" for Climate Financeby Louise Helen Brown - March 10, 2013 Research shows that developing countries will need about $531 billion of additional investments in clean energy technologies each year in order to limit global temperature rise to 2° C above pre-industrial levels, thus preventing climate change's worst impacts. While developed countries have pledged to provide $100 billion of climate finance per year, this amount is well below what's needed to help developing nations mitigate and adapt to climate change. So how can countries bridge this funding gap? The answer lies in part on how well developing countries implement "readiness" activities, as well how effectively developed nations and international institutions like the Green Climate Fund (GCF) can mobilize finance to support them. The Need for Readiness To attract investments on the scale required, developing country governments must provide an attractive investment climate—one that encourages public and private sector investors to put their money into climate-friendly projects like solar and wind energy. On their end, developed countries need to offer financial and technical support for "readiness" activities that create the right conditions for said investments. Readiness includes any activity that makes a country better positioned to attract investments in climate-friendly projects or technologies. A few examples include: developing a policy to promote energy efficiency in industry; passing a law that gives a new or existing institution the mandate to promote renewable energy; conducting an assessment of a country's wind energy resources; or strengthening a bank's capacity to lend to small businesses in low-carbon sectors. International institutions such as the GCF can play a big role in supporting readiness activities, thereby helping developing nations attract the investments that will help them transition onto a low-carbon, climate-resilient development path. Read more How Can We Pay for Green Growth? New Report Provides Answersby Shilpa Patel - February 01, 2013 In a little more than one generation—by the time your grade-schoolers will be seeing their own kids off to school—our planet will be home to 9 billion people. This will create an unprecedented demand for water, food, and energy--and stress the supporting infrastructure required for life in the 21st century. How are we to meet this demand while respecting planetary boundaries? And importantly, how will we pay for it? A recent publication by the Green Growth Action Alliance (G2A2), aims to provide some answers. WRI and others provided guidance, case studies, research, and data to the publication, The Green Investment Report: The ways and means to unlock private finance for green growth. The findings were discussed widely at the recent World Economic Forum meeting in Davos. Under current OECD growth projections, the world will need to invest $5 trillion annually until 2020 in the water, agriculture, telecommunications, power, transport, buildings, industrial, and forestry sectors. However, solely delivering this investment to maintain "business-as-usual" economic growth will not lead the world onto a sustainable growth path. We need to find ways to "green" our growth to cope with resource scarcity and alleviate risks from climate change and environmental degradation. Greening this investment will require a mix of appropriate policies and capital. The lion's share will need to come from the private sector, given the scale required. The "Green Investment Report" estimates that an additional $700 billion will be needed annually to green the business-as-usual investment in the global economy. This is a large sum, but relatively insignificant compared to the cost of inaction as negative environmental impacts increasingly take their economic toll. Read more Where Is Climate Adaptation Funding Going? A New Project Aims to Find Outby Pieter Terpstra - January 08, 2013 Experts say that developing nations could require more than $100 billion for adaptation each year. Developed countries say that they have already delivered more than $33 billion so far towards this climate adaptation funding. However, some question whether these funds are going to the right places and meeting real needs. Is adaptation finance being directed towards the nations that need it the most? Is it being used to support projects that will allow people to adapt to climate change's impacts? We currently don't have adequate answers to these questions—but we hope to soon. At the recent UN climate change negotiations in Doha, Qatar, Oxfam, the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), and WRI launched the Adaptation Finance Accountability Initiative to help civil society organizations find out where adaptation finance is really going. The Question Is: Where Should Adaptation Finance Go? The easy answer is that adaptation finance should go to activities that strengthen the resilience and reduce the vulnerability of countries most susceptible to climate change's impacts. People in developing countries will likely be hit hardest by global warming. Read more Unlocking Climate Finance: How Can Multilateral Agencies Better Leverage the Private Sector?by Shilpa Patel and Aman Srivastava - December 17, 2012 The Doha negotiations that just concluded earlier this month have again drawn attention to the urgent need for climate adaptation and emissions reductions. Government representatives, civil society stakeholders, development aid organizations, and corporates agree that the world must make big strides—soon—if we are to have any hope of keeping global average temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. One problem, though, is how to generate enough finance to fund these activities. A new WRI working paper aims to address this challenge by examining the role multilateral agencies can play in mobilizing private sector finance for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Leveraging the Private Sector to Bridge the Climate Finance Gap Developing countries—those most vulnerable to climate change's impacts—will need $300 billion annually by 2020 and $500 billion annually by 2050 for mitigation activities alone. The newly established Green Climate Fund (GCF), meant to channel $100 billion annually into climate-relevant investments starting in 2020, is a significant first step, but does not fill the gap of what's needed. The public sector cannot tackle this challenge alone, and indeed, the GCF already envisions funding from a mix of public and private sources. The key, then, is to mobilize the private sector to create new investment opportunities and new markets. Read more Reflections on COP 18 in Doha: Negotiators Made Only Incremental Progressby Jennifer Morgan - December 14, 2012 This piece was written with analysis from Athena Ballesteros, Edward Cameron, Yamide Dagnet, Florence Daviet, Aarjan Dixit, Heather McGray, and Clifford Polycarp. Expectations were low for this year's UNFCCC climate negotiations in Doha, Qatar (COP 18), which concluded last week. It was scheduled to be a "finalize-the-rules" type of COP, rather than one focused on large, political deals that went into the early hours of the morning. Key issues on the table included finalizing the rules for the Kyoto Protocol's second commitment period; concluding a series of decisions on transparency, finance, adaptation, and forests (REDD+); and agreeing on a work plan to negotiate a new legally binding international climate agreement by 2015. The emissions gap was also front-and-center, as the new UNEP Gap Report showed that countries are further away than even a year ago from the goal of keeping global average temperature rise below two degrees C. In the end, countries were successful in making progress, but only incrementally. The lack of political will was breathtaking, particularly in light of recent extreme weather events. Here's a look at what happened across nine key issues that were on the table: Read more What's the Future of the Climate Investment Funds?by Clifford Polycarp and Milap Patel - October 31, 2012 The committees governing the $7 billion Climate Investment Funds (CIFs) – the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) and the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) – will meet in Istanbul this week. Alongside these meetings, a range of stakeholders from civil society, indigenous groups, and the private sector will participate in a series of events organized as part of the annual Partnership Forum, which takes place from November 4-7, 2012. Decisions made at these meetings are critically important for the funding of climate mitigation and adaptation activities in developing nations. They'll have important implications for meeting the immediate investment needs of developing countries, as well as for long-term global climate finance. The meetings will mark the start of discussions on how to sunset the CIFs and transition to a new global climate finance mechanism—the Green Climate Fund.

Shedding Light on RFID Distance Bounding Protocols and Terrorist Fraud Attacks
The vast majority of RFID authentication protocols assume the proximity between readers and tags due to the limited range of the radio channel. However, in real scenarios an intruder can be located between the prover (tag) and the verifier (reader) and trick this last one into thinking that the prover is in close proximity. This attack is generally known as a relay attack in which scope distance fraud, ma a fraud and terrorist attacks are included. Distance bounding protocols represent a promising countermeasure to hinder relay attacks. Several protocols have been proposed during the last years but vulnerabilities of major or minor relevance have been identified in most of them.

Wall-to-wall loyalty for Auburn's 49ers super fan
Dee Nann's passion for the San Francisco 49ers started in earnest when she was a Colfax Falcons football mom in the early 1980s.
Falcons varsity football coach George Massick, who would lead the Colfax High School team to its first section championship in 1986, wondered if some of the mothers of the players wanted to learn more about what their sons were doing out there on the field on Friday nights.
Nann, whose son Frank Jr., was a center on the team, said she jumped at the chance.
So Massick assembled the women in a classroom and taught them the intricacies of offensive and defensive strategies.
Nann started watching with a new clarity and the San Francisco native was soon swept up in the excitement surrounding the 49ers as they won five Super Bowls through 1995.
Nann, 82, said Dwight Clark's spectacular 1981 National Football League conference championship-securing grab of a lob from Joe Montana – simply known in football annals as 'The Catch' – cemented a love affair for the 49ers that continues to this day.
In 1992, Nann put up one poster in a spare bedroom and from there, the collection grew across all four walls, onto existing shelf space and into the hallway of her Auburn-area home.
"I'm very proud of my room," Nann said.
Jerry Rice, Montana, Young and other 49ers greats all have their place in Nann's red and gold shrine to her favorite team.
There's a letter from Rice, a statuette of the Hall of Fame receiver and a signed football. Montana photos abound. And Young's helmet, obtained by a relative at an auction for the quarterback's alma mater Brigham Young University, holds a place of honor.
But the 49ers minutiae separates this collection from the dens, lairs and man caves that may have a poster or two for San Francisco and then some bric-a-brac from other sports teams. Nann's room is all 49ers, all the time, wall-to-wall.
There are 49ers salt-and-pepper shakers, Niners Christmas ornaments, Christmas cards from the team, letters from players, and San Francisco golf balls.
There are 49ers coffee mugs and Niners beer steins. In one corner is a lit-up statuette of a 49ers quarterback making a pass. Sit down and you'll be resting your back on a 49ers logo-emblazoned cushion. Look up and you'll see team photos from all the Super Bowl teams looking down at you.
There are hats, plates, dolls and an assortment of books, including several 49ers cookbooks. Want to know how to prepare Dwight Clark's Chocolate Cake or Keena Turner's Catfish recipe? Look inside the 1989 "Cookin' with Champions."
There's even a completed jigsaw puzzle on the wall that elicits some puzzlement. What does a selection of foods, with no 49er in sight, mean? Nann explains that it represents an important part of the 49ers fan experience – the pre-game tailgate parties.
Nann has been going to 49ers games since the mid-1950s, initially with her late husband, Frank Sr., at old Kezar Stadium. Frank Sr. grew up three blocks from the stadium and used to sell programs at games. In 1990, they attended the Super Bowl in New Orleans and watched the 49ers roll over the Denver Broncos 55-10.
Asked to pick a favorite piece of 49ers memorabilia, Nann is quick with an answer. She assembled and lovingly placed all the pieces herself. It's all good from her perspective.
"The whole room is my favorite," Nann said.
Come game time on Super Sunday, Nann will be cheering in front of the TV set like all the other 49ers super fans. But she may just be in the upper echelon. She's even written to owner Jed York, inviting him to check out the sporting shrine if he's up in the foothills. So far, she hasn't heard back.
But one thing is guaranteed, it will be a Super Sunday for one super fan in the Auburn area.
"It definitely has to be the Niners," Nann said.

2000 Hyundai Coupe • 86,000 miles
Hi, I wonder if you can help me. I have got a Hyundai Coupe 2l Evo Xreg (2000) which has done about 86000 miles. A couple of years ago I had to have a new catalytic converter fitted in order to sort out an emmissions problem, which cost a lot of money with a local mechanic. It failed its MOT last year due to the emmissions so the mechanic tweaked it and it finally passed. On Friday last week my car failed its MOT again on an emmissions problem and the mechanic is now telling me that it could be the cat again and I might need another new one. I don't do very many miles, and they tend to only be short journeys. My query is whether a cat should have lasted longer than two years or if the mechanic could have fitted it incorrectly or whether the fact that I do short journey could have affected it. The mechanic is taking the car tomorrow to have a closer look so if I could be armed with some information that would be great! Thanks so much for any help you can offer. Kind Regards, Karen

Cats don't just die, they are killed by engines that are running bad. If you continue to drive a car with the engine not running correctly, it will eventually take out the cat. It's also possible that they are misdiagnosing the problem. The computer is programmed to recognize an inefficient cat and set a specific code indication that, usually a PO420 or PO430.

Feb 9, 2012.
Hi, thank you both so much for leaving messages, I really appreciate it. The failed MOT notice says the following two points about the emissions. 1) Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive (7.3.D.4) 2) Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.4). Does that mean anything to you? Many thanks again, Karen
High CO indicates a too rich mixture-Possible problem with the coolant temperature sensor and oxygen sensor
Wow, that was a speedy response! Thank you! Do you have any idea if these will be expensive repairs?
It varies with locality-best shop around for the less amount-could be the catalytic converter for a P0420 as mentioned by Wrench or an air injection system problem-
Thank you Rasmataz, the mechanic will be having a look tomorrow so fingers crossed it's nothing too major! Thanks again for your time and your info, appreciate it!

Think Tank Aligned With Obama Gets Ready for a Nuclear Iran
1:28 PM, May 15, 2013 • By LEE SMITH
—Build "Egyptian and Iraqi counterweights to Iranian influence through strategic ties with Cairo and Baghdad." It is hard to see how this might be accomplished since Obama's policies—hastily ushering Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak out of power, and a complete withdrawal from Iraq without a Status of Forces Agreement—have left governments in Cairo and Baghdad that are much more willing to accommodate Iranian interests than were their predecessors.
More importantly, this last recommendation shows just how much this model of containment differs from what the Cold War architects had in mind. The Middle East was significant only to the extent that it was a venue in which to push back the Soviet Union. Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's decision to jump from the Soviet side to the American column after the 1973 war mattered only because it stripped Moscow of an asset. Cairo was never a prize in its own right; it was never a counterweight to anything, but only evidence of all the goodies that were in store for other Arab states that turned against Moscow.
But as the CNAS paper shows, because advocates of containing Iran necessarily believe that the United States' ability to project power is much smaller than it is in reality and Iran's is much bigger, their gross distortions of nature also exaggerate the strategic significance of the region at large. Egypt, Iraq, the Gulf states, etc. are valuable only insofar as they can help Washington hold on to the region's one prize, the Persian Gulf. The architects of Cold War containment understood that if this vital waterway fell into the hands of the Soviets it would change the balance of power, not least by affecting America's ability to fight a land war against a formidable army. The United States could contain its Cold War adversary of nearly half a century only if the Soviet Union feared American strength.
The CNAS report instead assumes that containment will be the likely result of the United States' inability to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program. But that's wrong. If prevention fails, it is not because Obama is not able to stop Iran, it is because the commander-in-chief has chosen not to.

Candidates like Rand Paul, Mark Kirk, David Vitter are grabbing headlines and raising eyebrows for self-made controversies that have sometimes plagued -- and sometimes boosted -- their candidacies. What else separates the three candidates from the rest of the 2010 pack?
So far, they're all outraising their opponents.
Controversy-plagued U.S. Senate candidates from Nevada to Kentucky are experiencing significant fundraising success, according to campaign finance disclosures for the second quarter of this year.
Just days after claiming victory in Kentucky's GOP primary, Paul found himself under fire for comments he made about the Civil Rights Act. But despite those remarks and subsequent gaffes, the Tea Party-backed candidate managed outraise his Democratic opponent with a $1.1 million haul in the second quarter.
In Illinois, Kirk took in $2.3 million -- more than double the total raised by his Democratic rival Alexi Giannoulias. Kirk enjoyed fundraising success even though he spent the better part of the last few months explaining why he embellished his military service record.
As for Vitter, who is seeking a second term as a U.S. Senator from Louisiana, not even a prostitution scandal and subsequent controversies involving a top aide, could stop him from raising $1 million on top of the hefty sum he already had in the bank. That's more than double what Democratic Senate contender and Louisiana Congressman Charlie Melancon raised.
The fundraising prowess of some of the most controversial candidates on the midterm election circuit is just one of the many surprises the Huffington Post unearthed in the latest campaign finance filings. Here are the top 10 things you may not have guessed about the candidates and their campaign war chests:
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is seeing an upswing in fundraising support for his Senate campaign since dropping out of the state's GOP primary and announcing a decision to make an independent bid. The AP reports on the significance of Crist's $1.8 million cash haul for the second quarter: Crist dropped out of the Republican primary in April and decided to run without party backing. He raised $1.1 million during the first three months of the year. His report will show he topped that amount by $700,000 this past quarter. While Republican candidate Marco Rubio posted a staggering $4.5. million fundraising sum for the same period, the size of Crist's overall war chest still trumps that of his former GOP primary rival. The Florida Governor boasts $8.2 million in the bank, while the former State House Speaker reports $4.4 million on hand. "That's a nice healthy place to be," Crist said of the discrepancy. The St. Petersburg Times reports on recent success the Florida Governor has found in reaping cash on the left side of the political spectrum: By bolting from the Republican Party, Gov. Charlie Crist has one place left to raise big money in his race for the U.S. Senate: Democrats. A governor who once courted conservatives by calling himself a "Jeb Bush Republican" is getting help from liberal trial lawyers, union activists and even elected Democrats, who are shunning their party's Senate hopefuls, wealthy Palm Beach businessman Jeff Greene and U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami.
Former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons may no longer be campaigning for Connecticut's open Senate seat, but the Republican hopeful still out-raised GOP nominee Linda McMahon in the second quarter. Simmons pulled in $80,000 over the thee month period, while the former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO brought in just $28,000. Simmons announced that he would suspend his Senate campaign after McMahon nabbed the endorsement of the Connecticut GOP at the state party's convention back in May. The former congressman declined however to formally remove his name from the Republican primary ballot, leaving some to wonder if he might ultimately revive his campaign. While McMahon is predominantly funding her own electoral pursuit -- infusing her bid with $7.5 million in just the last three months -- Simmons still has money in the bank to burn. Moreover in a twist of irony, recent polling data shows Simmons has found an upswing in voter support since suspending his campaign.
After Tea Party-backed candidate Sharron Angle claimed victory in Nevada's Republican primary race for Senate, the newly-minted GOP hopeful found impressive fundraising success for her campaign. Angle took in $2.6 million during the second quarter, edging out Democratic opponent Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who brought in a still competitive $2.4 million. Despite the infusion of cash into Angle's campaign, the conservative contender still lags far behind Reid in having just $1.8 million in the bank. Reid boasts roughly $8.9 million in his war chest. The AP crunches the numbers and finds the Nevada Democrat collected cash for his campaign at a rate of about $26,000 a day over the last quarter. (To hit his $25 million fundraising goal by election day in November, Reid will need to pick-up the pace to roughly $44,000 a day.) So what do Reid and Angle's Q2 fundraising numbers signify in terms of the health of their respective campaigns? While Angle found success in reaping funds following her primary win, the rate at which Reid has put his own cash into action to define the Tea Party-backed candidate appears to have tipped the scale back in the Democratic incumbent's favor. The Las Vegas Review Journal reports: The Angle campaign -- a mom-and- pop operation that had been piling up debt during the GOP primary -- acknowledged it has been overwhelmed and overmatched by the rapid-fire Reid camp, which has been spending about $1 million a month, including on nonstop ads. ... "I was surprised how quickly and how effectively the Reid campaign came out against her after the primary," said Eric Herzik, political science professor at the University of Nevada, Reno. "I think Angle got caught off guard. Harry Reid didn't give her any breathing time, so she got defined as 'wacky Sharron.' "
While recent poll numbers out on the race for Ohio's open Senate seat show a highly competitive match-up shaping up between Republican candidate Rob Portman and Democratic hopeful Lee Fisher, when it comes to the fight for campaign funds, Portman seems to be running way ahead of Fisher. For the second quarter, Portman raised a strong $2.7 million, bringing in more than double the funds that Fisher, who took in $1 million for the three month period. More telling, Portman boasts $8.8 million in the bank, toppling the cash on hand of Fisher amounting to $1.3 million. Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post notes of Portman: "The former Ohio congressman, Office of Management and Budget director, and U.S. trade representative is, um, well connected in national Republican circles. And it shows in his fundraising."
Republican Sen. David Vitter's campaign is high-flying in its fundraising endeavors -- and not just for an embattled incumbent. Vitter's camp reaped $1 million over the second quarter and is sitting on $5.5 million in the bank. The money-raising success comes despite seemingly incessant scrutiny the Louisiana Republican has recently faced. Vitter still finds himself embroiled in controversy over a 2007 prostitution scandal that just won't seem to go away. More recently, the GOP incumbent has been unable to avoid criticism related to a report suggesting Vitter kept an aide for women's issues on his staff, despite allegedly being aware of charges that he attacked an ex-girlfriend with a knife. Democratic U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, who is running to unseat Vitter in November, raised $415,000 for his campaign during the second quarter and reports having $2.3 million on hand. Despite making repeated attempts to bring Vitter's eyebrow-raising past to the forefront of the Louisiana race, Melancon seems to have been unsuccessful thus far in translating the dirty laundry into fundraising success.
Despite sparking controversy with comments on the Civil Rights Act and the unemployed across America, Kentucky Republican Rand Paul proved to be relatively successful in his pursuit of campaign funds since winning the GOP Senate nomination back in May . For the second quarter, Paul narrowly edged out Democratic opponent Jack Conway in money raising race. Paul deposited $1.1 million into his war chest over the period, while Conway took in in $1 million. Neither Paul's camp nor that of Conway had more than $750,000 in the bank by the end of the second quarter.
In the race for President Obama's former Senate seat in Illinois, Republican Mark Kirk raised close to four times the funds than Democratic opponent Alexi Giannoulias. Kirk took in $2.3 million, far surpassing the $900,000 hauled by Giannoulias for the three month period. The discrepancy is staggering when considered in isolation; however, the size of the gap becomes further amplified when taking into account the numerous speed bumps encompassed by Kirk's camp along the way. In recent months, Kirk has repeatedly been caught embellishing his military service record. The Republican hopeful has apologized for being "careless" in making a series of misstatements on his background, which seem to have had left little more than a scratch on his campaign fundraising efforts.
An Associated Press review of campaign finance records reveals that former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina -- who is vying to unseat Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in California -- is struggling to bring in funds on her own turf. Fiorina is at a fundraising disadvantage in many parts of California, including her home turf in the Silicon Valley... That means the former Hewlett-Packard Co. chief executive will have to look outside California for donations or write checks from her personal fortune if she hopes to be competitive in a state where it's notoriously expensive to campaign statewide. Although Fiorina is a multimillionaire, it's unclear how much of her personal fortune she's willing to spend in her first run for public office. When she announced last fall, Fiorina said she would not self-fund her campaign and so far she has given $5.5 million in loans, meaning she expects to be repaid. ... The money race is important because of the high cost of running a statewide campaign in California, where millions of dollars are required for candidates to buy television and radio ads critical for making an impression on voters and driving up name recognition. According to the most recent campaign-finance reports, Boxer had raised $17.3 million through June 5, compared to $3.5 million for Fiorina when not counting her personal loans. Of that, 39 percent of Boxer's total, or $6.8 million, came from out-of-state donations, compared with 32 percent, or $1.1 million, for Fiorina. "The fact that she has not done as well in raising money from sources other than herself compared to Boxer may suggest a certain lack of enthusiasm among her potential donors," said Marty Kaplan, director of the Norman Lear Center at the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Communication.
While the observation may be intuitive, the dispatch of fundraising data out on the second quarter reveals that some of the wealthiest self-funding candidates seem content to conduct their electoral pursuits without financial help from supporters. Case-and-point: Billionaire candidate Jeff Greene, who is competing for the Democratic Senate nomination in Florida, raised just $3,000 over the last threemonths. But despite the meager cash haul, Greene has reportedly spent close to $6 million since launching is primary campaign against U.S. Rep. Kenderick Meek. Along similar lines, former WWE CEO and Republican Senate hopeful Linda McMahon raised only $28,000 for her Connecticut campaign in the second quarter. The Connecticut Mirror reports: McMahon put another $7.5 million of her personal fortune into her U.S. Senate campaign over the last three months, helping to ensure the Connecticut contest will be among the most expensive in the nation. McMahon's loans to her campaign in the 2nd quarter of this year brings her total investment in the race so far to $21.5 million, according to campaign finance reports. Earlier this year, McMahon signaled her willingness to spend up to $50 million to capture Connecticut's open Senate seat.
Three candidates surpassed the $3 million mark in the cash hauls their campaigns reported for the second quarter. Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is aiming to defend her seat against a challenge from former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, brought in $4.6 million -- more than any other 2010 Senate candidate took in over the last three months. Florida Republican candidate Marco Rubio also emerged at the top of the Q2 fundraising list with a $4.5 million cash haul. Supporters of the GOP hopeful see the fundraising success as a positive sign as he heads into a contentious general election match-up against Republican-turned-independent contender Gov. Charlie Crist and likely Democratic nominee U.S. Rep. Kenderick Meek. Republican Congressman Pat Toomey posted an impressive $3.1 million fundraising total for the second quarter. Not only did Toomey out-raise Democratic opponent Rep. Joe Sestak -- who took in $2 million -- but the GOP hopeful also boasts more than double the funds than his rival in the bank.

Deferred shading issues?
#1 Members - Reputation: 109
Posted 18 June 2010 - 08:36 AM
My first post here so I'm sorry for any inconvenience. Like if this thread doesn't belong in this forum and that sort of thing.
Since this issue is concerning deferred shading and I've seen other threads here about it, then maybe it just is the right place?
I've been searching for answer a long time and finally came to the conclusion that maybe I should just ask it myself.
Anyway on to business:
My problem is regarding the position portion of my deferred shading implementation, at least I believe it is, since I've kinda narrowed it down to that.
The problem being that transformations of object have no effect on the lighting at all, the lighting on the objects is stationary even though they shouldn't even be affected by it (with me moving the object away from the light).
Lights look great, the attenuation produces wanted results but the positions are all messed up.
I am working in CG (and OpenGL) in my engine so, coming from a HLSL background I can't say I understand how CG's matrices work exactly.
Worth noting: I am right now storing raw positions in a 32bit buffer, I don't use depth right now, but I will probably use it later on.
I understand that I have to transform positions passed in my vertex shader with some matrix (possibly the world matrix?) but I'm unsure of which one it is in CG's terms?
How do I solve this?
What is it that I'm missing here?

When it comes to CG's matrices... CG uses whatever matrix you set. In memory, both row-major and column-major are the same (it's just 64 linear bytes), it's the operations on the matrices that differ.

Then what matrix is it in when I just do this: Position(out) = Position(in)?
I just pass the position the shader receives?
Edit: I'm asking this since I do this with my normals, tangents and bitangents.

Fair warning, I'm going to link the images instead of putting them in the post, two of the images are pretty big and the other three are not as important.
So here ->Image<- we have the output as I have it right now.
You can see that the lights look pretty good, and I enlarged the intermediate render of the position buffer. And this is when I'm not transforming the position with anything at all, I just pass the position I receive in the vertex shader straight to the fragment shader untouched.
Now here ->Image<- is when I move that cage-thingy away from the lights. And as you can see the same lights affect that model exactly as much as it did when it was close to them.
Does this give a better view of what the problem is? I hope so. :)
Here are some additional images of just the output of different matrix multiplications:
Here is the ModelViewProjection matrix,
here is the Modelview matrix
and here is the projection matrix.
Thanks in advance! :D
Edit: What's that "[Tinypic]" thing on the links? :O

what you want to do with your normals, tangents and binormals is: multiply them with the transformation part of your object's world matrix, this way they rotate along with your object. otherwise they just stay in their original position.
float3x3 rotWorld = (float3x3)g_World; // extract the transformation matrix, leave out the translation, where g_World is the absolute transform of the model.
out.normal.xyz = normalize(mul(rotWorld, in.normal.xyz)); // you dont HAVE to normalize if both the in.normal and rotWorld are normalized already.
same goes for your tangent space vectors. your in.position should be multiplied with the entire g_World matrix. this puts the vertices from model space to world space.

It seems that the object's world matrix I am now passing to the GBuffer vertex shader is... uh... Gruesomely out or proportion or something.
Every time I multiply something with it it turns the result either completely white or completely black. Normalizing the multiplication seems to turn it gray. :O
Am I wasting my time with this "storing-position-inside-the-buffer" thing? Should I just put all my effort into storing the depth instead and reconstructing the position from there?

Am I wasting my time with this "storing-position-inside-the-buffer" thing? Should I just put all my effort into storing the depth instead and reconstructing the position from there?
My original implementation was just stuffing the world space XYZW into a fp16 rendertarget. I noticed quite a significant performance increase when I changed over to using the depth buffer, since there's much less bandwidth required for the texture sampling (and slightly better precision too, 24 bits Z vs 16 bits Z).
Can we see your vertex and pixel shader for both filling the g buffer and doing the lighting? It looks like your light vectors might not be getting calculated properly (and your normals and tangents aren't getting transformed as per wiegje85's post)

Oh, totally sure. I was going to post it anyway since it seems my explanation of the problem is a bit vague still.
G-Buffer vertex shader:
void main( in float4 position : POSITION,
in float2 texCoords : TEXCOORD0,
in float3 normal : NORMAL,
in float3 tangent : TEXCOORD2,
in float3 bitangent : TEXCOORD3,
out float4 positionOUT : POSITION,
out float2 texCoordsOUT : TEXCOORD0,
out float4x4 TBNOUT : TEXCOORD1,
out float4 posOUT : TEXCOORD5)
positionOUT = mul(glstate.matrix.mvp, position);
texCoordsOUT = texCoords;
//TBN matrix
TBNOUT = float4x4(tangent.x, bitangent.x, normal.x, 0,
tangent.y, bitangent.y, normal.y, 0,
tangent.z, bitangent.z, normal.z, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1 );
//Here I pass the position raw as it is, this probably is the problem?
posOUT = position;
G-Buffer fragment shader:
void main( in float4 colorIN : COLOR0,
in float2 texCoords : TEXCOORD0,
in float4x4 inTBN : TEXCOORD1,
in float4 posIN : TEXCOORD5,
out float4 colorOUT : COLOR0,//Normals
out float4 depthOUT : COLOR1,//Depth
out float4 aux1OUT : COLOR2,//Diffuse
uniform sampler2D decal : TEXUNIT0,
uniform sampler2D normal : TEXUNIT1)
//Normals multiplied with the TBN matrix
float4 NormalMap = tex2D(normal, texCoords);
colorOUT.xyz = mul(inTBN, (NormalMap * 2 - 1));
//Depth pass (position for now)
depthOUT = posIN;
//Aux1 pass (diffuse color)
float4 Diffuse = tex2D(decal, texCoords);
if(Diffuse.w < 0.5f) discard;//Any alpha from the pixels is discarded
aux1OUT.xyz = Diffuse.xyz;
Lighting pass vertex shader:
void main( in float4 position : POSITION,
in float2 texCoords : TEXCOORD0,
out float4 positionOUT : POSITION,
out float2 texCoordsOUT : TEXCOORD0)
positionOUT = mul(glstate.matrix.mvp, position);
texCoordsOUT = texCoords;
Lighting pass fragment shader:
void main( float2 UV: TEXCOORD0,
uniform float3 LightColor,
uniform float4 LightPos,
uniform float3 EyePosition,
uniform sampler2D DiffuseTexture,
uniform sampler2D DepthTexture,
uniform sampler2D NormalTexture,
out float4 oColor: COLOR)
float4 tDiffuse = tex2D(DiffuseTexture, UV);
float4 tPosition = tex2D(DepthTexture, UV);
float4 tNormal = tex2D(NormalTexture, UV);
//See here: The position is raw from the texture, might be a problem?
float3 LightDir = LightPos - tPosition.xyz;
float dist = length(LightDir);
float atten = max(0.0f, 1.0f - saturate((dist) / (LightPos.w)));
float3 EyeDir = normalize(EyePosition.xyz - tPosition.xyz);
float3 Half = normalize(normalize(LightDir.xyz) + EyeDir.xyz);
float diffuse = max(dot(normalize(tNormal.xyz), normalize(LightDir)), 0);
float3 specular = pow(saturate(dot(tNormal.xyz, Half)), 64);
float3 lighting = atten * (((diffuse * tDiffuse.xyz) * LightColor));
oColor.xyz = lighting * 2.5f;//I multiply it here, more powerful lighting ;)
oColor.w = 1.0f;
Now I had to reformat them a little though, and I added some comments. But they should run as they are.
Just tell me if you (or someone else) needs anything else. :)

But yes, I'm well aware of how this all works, and I've read *many* PDFs and that sort of thing.
The problems I am having is with the application itself. Not the theory behind it all. The shader's I've written are not working as I'd expected, OpenGL doing some things differently from DirectX (mostly the world matrix and gl's Modelview) and things of that nature that are confusing the heck out of me.
But I WILL read it again though. Can't hurt. ;)

I look at the second screenshot and I can say with 99% certainty that: the lights are all in each object's relative space. Make sure that everything is in world space (or eye/view space as BertS said (which is the more common space when using deferred lighting)).
Multiply your IN.position with the world matrix of the object. Multiply your IN.normal, IN.tangent, IN.binormal with the world transform (i.e. the float3x3 part of the float4x4) and then do the lighting calculations on it. Then(!) make sure the lights are also in this same space.

Yeah I'm trying the best I can to make sure everything is in the same space.
So in my OpenGL code I'm just moving stuff by multiplying it with a custom matrix I'm building based on two vectors, one for rotations and one for positions. And that's it. I'm not keeping track of any world matrix or anything so I'm left with that matrix I'm moving the objects with.
But that is what you mean by referring to the "world matrix of the object" right?
If so, here's a problem with that. When I tried that the other day I had some very unpleasant stuff happen to the depth buffer output.
When I multiplied the In.position with the whole matrix, like I'm supposed to, it turned the output completely white. As soon as I removed the rotation part from the matrix and left those as identity the output went back to how it was before that multiplication, but even then the two objects with different positions and rotations displayed no change at all.
Any idea of what would cause the "white-out"?
And which one of these approaches (depth VS position) is easiest to implement?
I'm likely to try to implement the easiest first.
Because I'm pretty tired of fighting with this now I just want it to work, even if it does so poorly.

To me it sounds like - and I can be completely wrong - that you don't have a proper hierarchy in your scene. Get your head around the concept of relative and absolute space first. I know this can be quite a big thing to get your head around; it took me the greater part of the last two years to get it. Then again, I'm no math genious, I just happen to know where to apply what.
So concern yourself with the basics first, then you shall see that suddenly your shaders will work properly :)

There's some truth in your words. But I'm not completely new to relative and absolute spaces as they are.
I'm just a little new to dealing with these spaces inside shaders, and since I don't know what these spaces should look like in the output. >.<
And simply because deferred rendering has a few ways to do some of the things, it makes it harder to know if you've done something right or wrong. :S
But yeah OK, I'll take it easy for a while and work on some other stuff in the engine. I'll admit defeat this time, next time, though, I will be victorious! xD
Oh yeah, before I go. I'm not going to get by without any lighting at all so I'm going to assume forward rendering is the next best thing to deferred rendering.
So correct me if I am wrong- There IS a way to blend a lot of lights with forward rendering too, right? Say, like... Uh... Let's say 32 lights.
You could do that with forward rendering?
I know the performance wouldn't be to much speak of but I am not constrained to the old 8-lights-active-at-once-thing right?

So I'm going to have to study OpenGL's matrices a fair bit, and how those tie in compared to DirectX's.
I'm also going to have to cram my head with the CG shader language details so I get a better idea of how these actually work compared to HLSL and GLSL. Though the difference hasn't been unbelievable yet, there just might be something I'm missing.
I'm sure I'll get this to work some day, but I'm no genius so it could take a while. ;P

I thought I'd just pop back in and say I got it to work. :D
And the answer was what you all said it was... *clears throat* Right...
I have this looming feeling that it's going to break down, it's just a matter of time, BUT at least I can put this behind me (for now) and continue working on some other stuff.
So thank you all! :D

By Rolan Tripp, D.V.M.
The behavior: Physical attacks (including biting) on a person or another animal, or threatening behavior, including growling, snarling, snapping, loud rapid barking, and lunging.
Why dogs do it: Usually aggressive behavior arises from fear. The dog feels threatened by the presence or approach of another animal or a person and lashes out to defend himself. A dog may also display aggression to protect his territory (guarding the owner's house or car), to warn others away from his food or toys, or to assert dominance.
Aggressive behavior may be influenced by many factors, including:
Training Tips
Seek professional help. Aggressive behavior is a serious problem and requires a thorough yet swift response from owners. See your veterinarian first: A thorough medical evaluation (including a thyroid test) will show whether any physical conditions might be lowering your dog's aggression threshold. Next, consult a professional animal behaviorist, who will pinpoint circumstances that trigger belligerence and customize a treatment plan for your dog.
Keep a journal. Record all the occasions in which aggression occurred. Note exactly what happened right before, during, and after the flare-up, including who was present, how they responded, and the time of day. If you have a video camera, keep it handy for documenting incidents. Involve your entire household in the detective work. Show the list to a behaviorist.
Avoid provocation. Once you have your inventory of situations that set your dog off, share it with your household. You should all make every effort to avoid these circumstances. Don't let your dog practice his aggression skills! For example, if he's threatening when people come to the door, don't let him greet visitors; put him in a safe place, such as his crate (he should be properly crate-trained), and let him join in only after he quiets down.
Never punish for aggressive behavior. Punishment will only intensify your dog's fear, exacerbating the aggression. In tense situations, remind him you're the leader, command him to sit, and praise him for doing so.
Go through basic training. An obedience course will give your dog discipline as well as something constructive to do with the energy he's using to be aggressive. Once he responds consistently to a few commands for instance, he will sit to greet somebody you can put him through his paces whenever he might be getting snappish. This kind of work is also great for your relationship, reinforcing your position as leader of his pack.
Teach your dog respect. Your dog needs to know that you're the leader of his pack. If you play with him, give him toys and treats, and pet him no matter how he behaves just because he is fluffy and adorable why would he ever clean up his act? Here are some tips on how to show him you're top dog:
Spell out the rules of the game. You not your dog should always direct your play sessions. If you're going to play fetch, for example, begin by telling him to sit. When he does, throw the ball. Teach him to bring it back by offering to swap it for a treat. If he tries to play keep away, turn your back and ignore him until he drops the ball. Always be the one to end any game: Put the ball or other toy away, and tell him the game is over. Stop playing while he still wants more, before he gets tired and quits on his own. Remember: You are in charge.
Tools You Can Use
Gentle Leader. This head halter gives you better control of your dog than a standard collar does, and it even applies pressure in spots on the neck and muzzle that can trigger a more passive response. If your dog pulls or lunges while wearing the Gentle Leader, the leash will close his mouth and turn his head away from his target. You can prevent potential brawls by steering him away from dogs, kids, or other triggers before anything starts. Stop and change directions frequently, so your dog has to follow your lead.
Basket muzzle. If you must expose your dog to a volatile situation before he's trained to handle it, put a basket muzzle on him. He'll be able to pant and even bark, but he won't be able to bite. Use this device only in high-risk situations or while you're working on a treatment plan.
Balls and Frisbees. Aggression is often related to stress, and exercise is the universal stress reliever. Interactive play with a ball or Frisbee is great exercise and can strengthen your bond with your dog. If he's socialized, agility classes and other dog sports can also provide a fun workout for both of you.

Improving a gold standard: treating human relevance judgments of MEDLINE document pairs
National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD 20894, USA
BMC Bioinformatics 2011, 12(Suppl 3):S5 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-12-S3-S5Published: 9 June 2011
Given prior human judgments of the condition of an object it is possible to use these judgments to make a maximal likelihood estimate of what future human judgments of the condition of that object will be. However, if one has a reasonably large collection of similar objects and the prior human judgments of a number of judges regarding the condition of each object in the collection, then it is possible to make predictions of future human judgments for the whole collection that are superior to the simple maximal likelihood estimate for each object in isolation. This is possible because the multiple judgments over the collection allow an analysis to determine the relative value of a judge as compared with the other judges in the group and this value can be used to augment or diminish a particular judge's influence in predicting future judgments. Here we study and compare five different methods for making such improved predictions and show that each is superior to simple maximal likelihood estimates.

China Stocks Rise to Three-Week High as Property Companies Rally
China's benchmark stock index rose to the highest level in three weeks as money-market rates fell and property companies rallied on improving earnings prospects.
Poly Real Estate Group Co. surged to a three-week high and real-estate companies jumped the most among industry groups after Shenyin & Wanguo Securities Co. said developers may rally 20 percent from current levels. Guirenniao Co., which makes sports apparel, soared 44 percent on its first day of trading in Shanghai. Jiangxi Copper Co. led a rally for material producers.
The Shanghai Composite Index added 0.6 percent to 2,054.39 at the close, extending this week's gain to 2.5 percent. The seven-day repurchase rate, a gauge of interbank funding availability, slid 77 basis points to 4.61 percent. Stocks dropped yesterday after a private report showed manufacturing may contract for the first time in six months. The Shanghai Composite will probably bottom out within days and begin to rebound, said Tom DeMark, the developer of market-timing indicators who predicted the measure's rally in June.
"Bad news has been digested and liquidity has eased," said Du Liang, an analyst from Shanxi Securities Co. "It shouldn't be much of a problem for stocks to continue their uptrend. DeMark has been accurate several times, so if he says the index is going to rebound, there will be some influence."
New Year
The CSI 300 Index added 0.6 percent. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index dropped 0.8 percent. Trading volumes in the Shanghai index were 22 percent above the 30-day average for this time of day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The nation's financial markets will be closed from Jan. 31 to Feb. 6 for the Chinese new year holiday.
The Shanghai Composite climbed this week after the central bank added more than $42 billion to the financial system to meet cash demand before the holiday. The measure trades at 7.7 times 12-month projected earnings, compared with a multiple of 9.1 for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
A gauge of property companies in the Shanghai index rose 1.6 percent today, adding to a weekly gain of 5.5 percent, the most among five industry groups. China Vanke Co., the biggest developer, surged 4 percent to 7.79 yuan. Poly Real Estate, the second largest, climbed 3 percent to 8.18 yuan, extending this week's rally to 9.8 percent. Gemdale Corp. advanced 1.5 percent to 6.20 yuan.
Chinese property stocks may rise on easing liquidity, analyst Han Siyi at Shenyin & Wanguo Securities wrote in a report yesterday. Falling money-market rates will spur a valuation expansion for developers, Han wrote, recommending Gemdale and Jinke Properties Group Co.
Materials Slump
Real-estate prices will keep rising in the first half and stabilize in the second half, the China Securities Journal reported, cited Wang Wenxiang, vice head of the National Development and Reform Commission's investment institute.
A measure of material companies in the CSI 300 gained 0.9 percen. Jiangxi Copper, the biggest Chinese producer, jumped 1.5 percent to 13.59 yuan. Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. advanced 0.9 percent to 3.31 yuan.
Guirenniao surged 4.66 yuan to 15.26 yuan on the first day of trading in Shanghai. Eight more companies will start trading on Jan. 27. Fifty-two companies have been approved by the securities regulator to sell shares after the end of a more than yearlong IPO freeze.
The Shanghai Composite may slip to as low as 1,952, or 4.4 percent below yesterday's close, and then rally "sharply," DeMark wrote in an e-mailed response to questions from Bloomberg News. The measure, which touched an intraday low of 1,984.82 on Jan. 20, has lost 3.5 percent this year.
The index "is in a bottom zone," wrote DeMark, the founder of DeMark Analytics LLC in Scottsdale, Arizona, who has spent more than 40 years developing indicators to identify market turning points. "We have now turned constructive."
The Bloomberg China-US Index slumped 3.5 percent yesterday, while the iShares China Large-Cap ETF tumbled 4.5 percent, the most since November 2011. U.S. regulators barred the four largest accounting firms from conducting audits in China. The ruling sparked concern that companies won't be able to put together their 2013 earnings reports in time to meet listing requirements in the U.S.
