South Asia and the Future of Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Graham, Thomas, Jr., Arms Control Today
The recent nuclear tests in South Asia have dealt a serious blow to international efforts to prevent the further spread of weapons of mass destruction. In declaring themselves nuclearweapon states, India and Pakistan have openly challenged the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in which the international community agreed that there should be no more nuclear-weapon states beyond the five that had tested prior to 1967: the United States, the Soviet Union (now Russia), Britain, France and China. Unless concerted actions are undertaken promptly to begin to reverse this situation, these developments could seriously undercut the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
The NPT Bargain
In the 1960s, it was widely predicted that there would be 25-30 declared nuclearweapon states in the world by the end of the 1970s. Who knows how high that number might have reached by today? In an effort to head off this possibility, the world agreed in the NPT to a bargain to put a halt to the proliferation of nuclear-weapon states. In return for the pledge by the 181 non-nuclear-weapon signatories (including Taiwan) that they would never acquire nuclear weapons, the five nuclear-weapon states agreed not to help other states acquire nuclear weapons, to share the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology with all the parties and to work toward the elimination of nuclear weapons.
In identifying those five countries as nuclear-weapon states, the NPT does not indefinitely legitimize their nuclear arsenals. The NPT simply acknowledges the fact that when it was negotiated, nuclear proliferation had occurred in five countries. The treaty commits all 185 states-parties to prevent proliferation from occurring anywhere else. The fact that there were five nuclear-weapon states before the world took action is a matter of historical circumstance, not special privilege. In balancing obligations between nuclear-weapon and non-nuclear-weapon states, the NPT makes all parties equal partners in the quest to escape the threat of nuclear weapons. It establishes a regime in which states like South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia and Mexico play important roles in protecting the security of all states by actively participating in efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.
Since the NPT was opened for signature on July 1,1968, a number of states have voluntarily turned away from possession of nuclear weapons. Argentina and Brazil agreed to put aside their nuclear weapon objectives; both now have full-scope safeguards on their nuclear activities and Argentina has joined the NPT as a nonnuclear-weapon state. Political change in South Africa led to the dismantlement of that country's former nuclear weapons program. Subsequently, South Africa not only joined the NPT as a non-nuclear-weapon state, but it also played a leadership role at the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference in rallying the developing world behind making the treaty permanent. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, strenuous multilateral efforts and extended parliamentary consideration led Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to give up the former Soviet nuclear weapons on their territories and become non-nuclear-weapon states under the treaty. The NPT provided a means to deal with North Korea's interest in acquiring nuclear weapons. And it is the NPT that provides for international inspections of nuclear activities in that country as in most of the countries of the world.
Despite these successes, three thresh old states-India, Israel and Pakistanhave not signed the NPT, and operate nuclear facilities that are not subject to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections that are required of all the nonnuclear-weapon states. But none of them had previously overtly challenged the NPT regime by claiming to be a nuclear-weapon state. While it had conducted one nuclear explosive test in 1974, India was careful to characterize it as a "peaceful nuclear explosion" and to claim it had not weaponized. …

|Carcinogenic risks of dioxin: mechanistic considerations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16054739 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Dioxins and dioxin-like chemicals demonstrate high affinity binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand activated transcription factor, which mediates most, if not all, of the toxic responses of these agents. Since dioxins are not directly genotoxic their carcinogenic effect is likely the result of their tumor promoting activity produced by activation of the AhR. For the purpose of risk assessment extrapolation from effects in the observable high dose range to background dietary exposure is necessary. In the present review, we discuss various aspects of low-dose-response of receptor-mediated processes in general, including threshold phenomena with regard to tumor promotion during multi-stage carcinogenesis. In this connection the reversibility of tumor promotion plays an important role but this may not be valid for dioxins due to their long half life. The relevance of cytochrome P 4501 A-induction as biomarker for prediction of carcinogenic effects of dioxins at low doses is considered. Dioxins may act in concert with endogenous ligands of the AhR, an effect which becomes particularly relevant at low toxicant concentrations. At present, however, the nature and role of these postulated ligands are unknown. Furthermore, it is unclear whether dioxins produce synergistic tumor promotional effects with non-dioxin-like chemicals to which humans are also exposed. Dioxins and, e.g., non-dioxin-like PCBs act through different receptors and there is, albeit yet limited, experimental evidence from experimental studies to suggest that they may act on different target cell populations within the same target organ. From the available data the existence of a (physiological) threshold of effects cannot be proven and may not even exist. For regulatory purposes the application of a so called "practical threshold" for the carcinogenic effect of dioxins is proposed. Further mechanistic studies should be conducted to get insight into the dose-response characteristics of relevant events of dioxin-like and non-dioxin-like agents and into the consequences of potential interactions between both group of compounds during carcinogenesis.

Open Allies for Airfare Transparency: Travel Industry Groups Propose Collaborative Process for Development of Distribution Standards, Invite IATA to Join Dublin / Washington D.C. - October 28, 2013 - Several travel industry organizations from the U.S. and Europe today announced a collaborative process to help develop open and business-model neutral data standards that will enable enhanced distribution of airline products through any channel. The goal of the initiative is help the industry reach consensus on technical standards that will enable greater communication efficiency, consumer choice, and transparency of information across all distribution channels. It will also facilitate airlines' efforts to make custom offers to travelers while fully preserving robust comparison-shopping across multiple carriers and protecting consumers' data privacy rights. U.S. organizations endorsing the initiative included the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), the Business Travel Coalition (BTC), the Consumer Travel Alliance (CTA), and the Travel Technology Association (Travel Tech). On the European side, the European Technology & Travel Services Association (ETTSA) and the European Federation of Travel Agents' Associations (ECTAA) issued a separate statement supporting the initiative. The groups invited the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Airlines for America (A4A) and other relevant travel industry stakeholders to join this cooperative multilateral initiative. The groups believe the initiative could effectively end the acrimony caused by IATA's unilaterally developed New Distribution Capability (NDC), which has received harsh criticism from many parts of the travel industry and from government officials. At the same time, it will enable airlines to sell their products in smarter and more cost-effective ways across all distribution channels. "We need to come together as an industry, with IATA and the carriers, to develop a sensible, business-model neutral data standard which enables airlines to effectively distribute rich content and enhances the comparison-shopping experience for consumers and travel buyers," said Paul Ruden, ASTA's Senior Vice President for Legal and Industry Affairs. "Another major travel organization issued its own call for a direct dialogue with IATA on Friday, an effort that we strongly commend and hope will become part of this broad industry-wide collaboration," continued Ruden. "Today's flight shopping experience leaves consumers confused and angry because airlines do not make available the full all-in price including extra fees and charges in a transparent way," said Charlie Leocha, Director of the Consumer Travel Alliance. "We think there's an opportunity to set technology standards that make the experience more transparent, user-friendly, customized, and competitive, all while protecting consumers' privacy." "We are extending the olive branch to IATA to work with us in a cooperative manner to encourage technological innovation for the industry and increased customization for travelers," continued Kevin Mitchell, Chairman of BTC. "We hope they will accept our invitation to reset the dialogue and move forward together." "We've spent a year arguing over standards that clearly are not supported by the airlines' vital partners or travellers themselves," added Steve Shur, President of Travel Tech. "We're offering to put down our swords and come together on a new and better approach that includes all of the key stakeholders in the air travel industry." To ensure the standard-setting process remains focused on the needs of the traveling public, the groups also endorsed a set of consumer-focused Principles for the Future of Air Travel Distribution. Those Principles, appended in full below, include transparency, choice, competition, innovation, and privacy. The groups will provide more information on their initiative during a telephone press conference in Dublin, Ireland, on Monday 28 October 2013 (11am ET, 4pm Ireland time, 5pm CET), just before the start of IATA's World Passenger Symposium. A multi-stakeholder forum will then be organised for early 2014. Moving forward, the group intends to broaden the discussion to include other stakeholders such as hoteliers, car rental companies, rail operators, and cruise lines who will benefit from broader industry cooperation in setting technology standards. American Society of Travel Agents ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents) members represent 80% of all travel sold in the United States and its membership is growing internationally. ASTA's history of travel industry advocacy traces back to its founding more than 80 years ago, with the mission to facilitate the business of selling travel through effective representation, shared knowledge and the enhancement of professionalism. For more information, visit ASTA.org. Business Travel Coalition Founded in 1994, the mission of Business Travel Coalition is to interpret industry and government policies and practices and provide a platform so that the managed travel community can influence issues of strategic importance to their organizations. Consumer Travel Alliance The Consumer Travel Alliance (CTA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to provide consumers an articulate and reasoned voice in decisions that affect travel consumers across the travel spectrum. CTA's staff gathers facts, analyzes issues, and disseminates that information to the public, the travel industry, regulators and policy makers. The Travel Technology Association The Travel Technology Association, or Travel Tech, is the association for online travel companies (OTCs) and global distribution systems (GDSs), and is dedicated to connecting consumers and travel providers, eliminating barriers to travel and protecting consumers. Travel Tech's members include: Amadeus, Expedia, Orbitz Worldwide, Priceline, Sabre, Travelocity, Travelport and Vegas.com. ### Principles for the Future of Air Travel Distribution Consumers today have an incredible range of options for searching, comparing, and purchasing travel services, from online travel sites to traditional travel agents, corporate travel departments, and provider web sites. The current system is robust and competitive, and participants are adapting quickly to meet the changing needs of their customers. The undersigned organizations help distribute and book air, rail, hotel, cruise, and car rental services for hundreds of millions of business and leisure travelers around the world. Our organizations are driven by the needs of the traveling public. Our vision for a consumer-focused and competitive future of air travel is based on the principles below. Transparency Travelers should be able to compare prices and purchase all of the services they will need for their flights at the time of booking, including ancillary services. Travelers (or their agents) should be able to see all of the options and fees available for a flight before travel is booked, so they can make informed decisions during the booking process. Choice Travelers should be able to compare prices and services between a broad range of airlines, and they should be able to compare base fares and ancillary services with the base fares and services from other airlines that sell through the same distribution channel. Choice should be driven by the traveler's needs, and the traveler should be able to compare, contrast, and choose the supplier that best meets those needs. Competition Travelers should have access to a robust and competitive marketplace of airlines and other travel suppliers who compete for their business on a level playing field. Both anonymous and self-identified travelers should be able to compare their full range of options among airlines. Innovation Innovation is driven by competition, and travelers should have a broad range of options to book their travel, ranging from airlines to online travel companies, corporate travel departments, and traditional travel agencies. Each of those companies should be able to choose and develop the technologies that best meet its needs, so long as those systems do not interfere with open, transparent pricing and consumer choice. Privacy Travelers should be able to shop anonymously in a setting in which all applicable privacy laws and regulations are respected. Customization should be at the request of the traveler, not at the demand of the supplier, and travel suppliers should allow travelers to decide which additional services they would like to receive, if any, whether traveling on business of for leisure with their family.

Respond to Review of Stone Chat
by kaybee
Review: We held our first County Kerry Vegans meetup at Stonechat. They have a vegetarian section on the menu and several options appear to be vegan. We called ahead and informed them we were coming and they said to tell the chef when we ordered and he would ensure our dish was vegan. When we called, we enquired if they had tofu, as there was a tofu dish on the old menu we had seen on menupages. They said they didnt, but that they had several things that could be made vegan. When we arrived the next night the hostess told us actually they did have tofu if we would like a tofu dish, the chef would make something special. One of our party requested that the dish be made without soy sauce, and the chef made up a lovely tofu and veg dish with a side of rice, with sauteed tofu and a mild curry sauce made with coconut milk (I think ;) ). It was really tasty and portions were pretty filling; reasonably priced as well (around 13 euro). Someone else had the hummus appetizer which was big enough for a light meal. Restaurant was cosy, stove going inside, good ambience, accommodating staff. They told us if we want to come again, to call ahead and they are happy to make sure they have tofu in, and then just to ask them to ask the chef to do us a vegan tofu dish.

SyedSadaqatAli: See a complete album shot with Fuji xt-1, 14mm f/2.8, 10-24, 56 f/1.2 and35mm f/1.4. I left my Nikon d700 and other full frame lenses behind.
Yes... some excellent images in that file I particularly loved the BW and the Street shots of individuals.
I know I would Love this Camera. Obviously for the fact it is a Pentax. And taking me back to High School Photography Class with Nickolaus Pavloff. Also because it is a "normal" DSLR dimension wise. I am unfortunately blessed with large hands and find the smaller mirror-less camera's rather awkward to handle. I am reserving my judgement till I can handle the New OM-D. I would however buy this unit given what I know of Pentax and its IQ Standards. However one feature I would have hoped would be included and is why even given the Oly's diminutive size and higher cost it may over ride my interests with Pentax. And that's the continuous live view in I assume, Bulb mode, and watching an image develop. This saving me the difference in camera costs . Why you may wonder and that is Olympus can be fitted with a variety of IR Filters 720, 800, and 820. And can therefore eliminate the need of an IR only Camera, and specifically my desire for IR shooting. Time as always will tell.
Ah! ~LOL~ Having previously remarked on what I found missing. I now find I have stumbled into once again. The Camera Feature ability I had assumed was absent or removed. Is indeed alive and well. I guess it slipped by me. And I am very glad DPReview had not eliminated this tool in ones search for the "perfect" camera of their choosing. LOL~ And I'm sure to here about it, my lamenting its absence.
The Articles, this one, and the others proliferating here in DPReview are all well and good. However, I think or point of fact more to my liking, is something I find missing. As I and a number of the regular viewers are looking to move up or replace aging equipment, such as myself are fairly well read. DPReview use to have the ability with a simple comparison guide for those camera and mfg. attributes. And this is what is missing. I could look at Consumer, Enthusiast or Semi-pro, and Professional Cameras specifically. Or I could look up what features I required and I would get a cross section of Cameras within those defined parameters Consumer/Enthusiast/Professional. I think this is still a useful way to approach what is relevant for a "Buyers Guide." Because once finding those features I personally required I was always treated to an education in the manufacturers camera specification etc. and DPReview's review. This always aloud me and I am sure others a Minor Degree in Camera 101.
~To bad they can't fix the low light sensitivity on par with their NEX-7 then I might be persuaded. That and ISO sensitivity especially for the A-65 limited to 1600. maybe they should sub that sort of work to Olympus given the new OM Digital
abi170845: Do any of the mirrorless fuji x1pro, panas, sony nex, and olys have BULB setting?
I always do long exposures of 10-15minutes before twilight starts and 6 minutes exsposures as dusk descends into darkness.
I don't see bulb setting on top of the dial on this oly.
~Well that sounds like a very interesting option. Would you know if there is a Cable Release or MUST you hold down button with said finger~ which I detest~LOL. Or is there a remote with a better off angle read axis. As with my old Oly I either am forced to hold with finger and using the auto trigger means virtually standing in front of said unit. And as it has no cable release whats a Boy to Do. Oh and thinking of it I'd say it also sounds Ideal for use with an R72 Filter. So yes, very interesting. As it is sounding like my Prayers are being answered. I like my Oly and have taken some rather nice if not great images with her. Her only drawback has been fast focus and low light work. And though I have managed its time to move on. I had hoped for a bit more dimensionally. I have hand issues.
Come on, a Major Media Company with Mega Resources and the manufacturer of the very chips used by their competition with obviously bright designers, engineers, and programers and they fall flat in low light sensitivity. Obviously they unlike Fuji and other Manufacturers haven't been reading DPReview. Maybe someone should enlighten them. Maybe they really aren't interested garnering as much Market Share as we think. And as such I will not likely be buying an a65 as planed regardless, but will likely go a580 if a Sony at all at this point.
Thank You, BMWX5, cplunk etal~
Yes, I realize there is the flash option. However when shooting macro in my favorite nursery either early morning or late evening I prefer existing light which is usually defuse and spotty through surrounding foliage. And my light source is always moving so my response needs to be fast and flash for me is not an option as it will washout the back ground I prize as much as the flowers. Of late having acquired a decent tripod I've taken to never leaving home without my pack with includes my D'oh! tripod. So yes, I could very well compensate with exposure length and offset low light inequity. In situations other than my penchant for. That said it still is incredulous that cameras designed to compete against Nikon, Canon, and whoever else would still have less than stellar spec's. While the camera's themselves may indeed be great in a number of area's if I were Sony~ I'd be frankly~embarrassed!
It would be a major improvement if the firmware update corrected for the unforgivable low light performance from Sony's newest and highly advanced camera's. Which use the same APS-c Chip as the D7000, which they sell to Nikon and the a77 and a65 don't even hold a candle to its excellent low light low noise abilities.
I frankly can't fathom the releasing these almost great near do wells with such poor results in this area. I also find it amazing they can post such high review numbers when they clearly fall short in such a way regardless of the in camera Shake Reduction.
Well actually I can fathom it. They call it the Holiday Buying Season. And they seem to have taken a page from PC Game Development Company's who like to cash in before the product is really out of Beta Testing. Where in they release an as yet final product then scramble to add the games needed patches because they have a pent up market and want to strike while the iron is hot.
It is going to be interesting to say the least to be able to make some comparisons when fully revealed and reviewed. I do find it a disappointment that there isn't any AF Fine Tuning. And hopefully Sony has gotten a handle on the cheap feel and plastic barrel noise that put me totally off the SLT-A55. My old E-500 kit lenses have greater gravitas than the standard lens I previewed with said camera.
Well I am interested for certain in the A65 unless the A77 is under $1200. I'd likely go straight to the A65 but upon seeing an ISO range that only goes up to 1600 I'm a bit dismayed and hope that is a miss print. As the little ole Nikon d5000 is able to be usable up to ISO 3200 and all for under a grand with 2 kit lens. Its draw back again is the always useful need it handy and its not on a d5000 White Balance. LOL~ Its always something.

Florida Moves Forward on Mental Health Legislation
The Florida Legislature is taking major steps to improve the way mental health is handled in the state.
Understanding and preventing suicide through research, education, and advocacy
AFSP works hard to create a world in which people no longer die by suicide. While we understand that suicide is personal and complicated, we also know that thoughtful public policies can reduce the number of suicides.
To help make that happen, we work closely with hundreds of well-informed and passionate advocates, all committed to educating officials at every level of government about suicide, and persuading them to act.
To ensure that public officials and the general public have the information they need to make informed decisions about suicide, we provide the links below. These links will take you to news and information about advocacy efforts and public policies related to suicide prevention. The links also connect to the work we're doing here at AFSP, in our Advocacy and Public Policy office, and to our powerful national network of suicide prevention advocates.

The difference between victory and defeat in college basketball often comes down to one play. Even in a forty five minute game that was as well-contested and intensely fought as Louisville and Notre Dame's battle Wednesday night, the outcome can often be traced to one decision by a coach or player that totally shapes both teams' fortunes.
On Wednesday night, that play was not an individual's dynamic move or a long-distance bomber's clutch shot. Instead it was one decision by Notre Dame coach Mike Brey that took his coaching rival Rick Pitino slightly off guard and ensured his Irish team would have the opportunity to pull off their 89-79 win in overtime.
With the game tied in regulation, Louisville called timeout with 26 seconds left to set up a last-second shot and try to escape with another late victory. End of game situations have been especially fruitful for the Cardinals this season, as they have found a way to steal three late victories against Marquette, West Virginia and Connecticut based almost entirely on their ability to out execute against their opponent down the stretch. In the latter two games, Louisville found great success in clearing out for guard Peyton Siva and allowing him to create a final shot attempt one on one versus his man. Twice against Connecticut and one against West Virginia, Siva beat his man off the dribble and created a bucket that helped pull out a huge victory.
Fast forward to the end of game scenario on Wednesday night and the Notre Dame huddle before the final possession. Having seen the game tape of Louisville's final possessions in past Big East games, Brey made one simple coaching adjustment that could have a profound effect on his team's season. Rather than allow the Cards to clear the floor and have Siva take advantage of his quickness against the defender guarding him in man defense, Brey told his Irish to play zone. If executed properly, this would keep Siva or one of the other Louisville guards out of the lane and force the Cardinals to find a different method to get off a final shot.
When Pitino's team broke the huddle, it was clear the change in defense confused the Cards. They stood at the top of the key looking around frantically and then were forced to reverse the ball around the perimeter and settle for a contested three from Preston Knowles. Louisville had clearly prepared to face a man defense and the team was unable to change effectively enough on the fly to counter Brey's clever change of strategy. The game went to Overtime with Notre Dame carrying the momentum and the Irish rolled to the win easily.
Had Brey not made the change, and simply defended Louisville in the same way Bob Huggins and Jim Calhoun, two bright coaches in their own right, had done, then we might be talking about how the gritty Louisville team stole another impressive road win. Siva could have taken the ball to the basket, finished with a layup or a pass to an open shooter and his role as a clutch finisher would have been the topic of this column. But instead, Brey made one small adjustment. And that adjustment set the table for the No. 7 ranked team in America to get a huge conference win.
It has been said in the past that a great college coach is worth at least 5 games a year. If that is true, Brey certainly got 20 percent of his quota on Wednesday in South Bend.

CO2 capture and geological storage (CCS) is a major topic of interest in Canada, where many CCS projects are either underway or in the planning stage. In order to get information about public acceptance for a potential CCS pilot project in the province of Québec, two identical Internet-based public awareness and opinion surveys were conducted: one in 2010 and one in 2011. Results of the two surveys show that respondents are not really aware of what climate change is and that they know almost nothing about CCS. In 2010, respondents did not generally reject CCS technology or a potential pilot project in their region. In fact, they were slightly favorable toward such a project. In 2011, the picture changed slightly as an intense debate on shale gas exploration had taken place in the province at the end of 2010. It appears that respondents were less likely to be favorable toward the use of CCS. It is not possible to specifically link the increase of respondents against CCS or a potential pilot project and the increase of security concerns to the debate regarding shale gas exploration. However, the social context in a region where controversial shale gas activities are underway may not be the best for a potential CCS pilot project to become accepted by the local community. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

The Emissions Reduction Fund: Land Sector Methods
Methods for many land sector activities are already approved for use under the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) and more will be available before the Emissions Reduction Fund begins.
The Government is also working with businesses through technical working groups to develop industrial sector methods.
What types of land sector methods will be available?
The Government is working with businesses to develop two categories of land sector methods:
- Sequestration methods provide for credits to be issued to projects for storing (or 'sequestering') carbon in the land. Examples include revegetation or soil carbon projects.
- Emissions avoidance methods provide for credits to be issued to projects for reducing or avoiding emissions of methane and nitrous oxide, or by converting methane into carbon dioxide which is a less potent greenhouse gas. Examples include flaring methane from effluent ponds in piggeries, or feeding supplements to cattle to reduce methane emissions.
Methods that have been developed under the CFI can be used under the Emissions Reduction Fund. Methods have been developed for tree planting, avoided deforestation, and vegetation regeneration. Methods have also been developed for destroying methane from landfills, piggeries and dairies, feed supplements for milking cows, early dry season savanna burning, and diverting waste from landfill.
What land sector methods are being developed?
New land sector methods are under development include:
Increasing soil carbon in grazing systems
This method applies to soil carbon sequestration projects in grazing systems and relies on the direct measurement of soil carbon to estimate sequestration. Under the proposal, projects can be carried out on land that is under permanent pasture, or on land that is converting to permanent pasture as part of the project. A model-based method will be developed for use in 2015.
Expanding opportunities for tree planting
This method builds on earlier CFI methodologies and, where applicable, allows project proponents to access 24 new growth curve calibrations within the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM). These calibrations have been derived from a research program led by CSIRO to improve the estimation of carbon in mixed-species environmental plantings and mallee plantings.
Expanding opportunities for avoided deforestation
A method for avoided deforestation and protection of native forest has been available since June 2013. Work is currently underway to simplify the current method, including streamlining fieldwork requirements by reducing the need for destructive sampling.
Farm forestry
This measurement-based method will cover permanent plantings or for-harvest plantings on land that is clear of forest and previously managed for agricultural purposes.
Feeding beef cattle nitrate supplements
This method involves substituting nitrates for urea as a non-protein nitrogen supplement for beef cattle, resulting in a reductions of methane from their digestive systems. The use of National Inventory defaults and a simple spreadsheet-based tool mean minimum data collection and analysis requirements for project proponents.
Early finishing of beef cattle
This method applies where cattle producers can manage their properties to increase the rate of liveweight gain of their herds. This reduces the average age of animals, thereby reducing the methane emissions that these animals produce over their lifetimes. As with the nitrate supplementation method, the use of National Inventory defaults and a simple spreadsheet-based tool will mean minimum data collection and analysis requirements for projects.
Will existing CFI methods be streamlined?
CFI methods will continue to apply under the Emissions Reduction Fund unless or until they are varied or revoked.
CFI methods may be streamlined or new Emissions Reduction Fund methods developed for existing CFI activities.
Existing CFI projects can continue to use their current CFI method, or can transition to new Emissions Reduction Fund methods as they become available.
Applications for project registration made after 1 July 2015 must use the latest version of the CFI method. If the method has not been varied this will still be the old version.

Hotel & Accommodation
Surrounded by 50 acres of grounds and gardens in the Staffordshire countryside, Hoar Cross Hall sits at the end of a winding driveway. Built in 1871, the Elizabethan manor house was commissioned by Hugo Meynell Ingram, whose family presence is still evident in the form of hand carved monograms in the ballroom, and has Jacobean overtones by way of turreted water towers, lofty gables, 48 chimneys and mullioned windows. The hotel has 96 bedrooms, all with the traditional sumptuousness of a stately home.
The hotel's restaurant is in the former ballroom and is characterised by William Morris wallpaper, Sienna marble mantelpieces, and the 19th century 'wedding cake' ceiling. Vegetables are grown in the estate's own greenhouses, and the menu from their award-winning head chef showcases local and seasonal produce. Breakfast and lunch however are in a more contemporary setting overlooking the hydrotherapy pool.

We enjoy this walk so much that we've made it almost a weekly thing. The route is beautifully paved and wide, and at 3.75 miles around the loop, we get done around 11:00. The scenery varies from open vistas across the McCabe golf course to leafy shaded views of the clear streams. We can see the wildflowers come & go as the seasons unfold from visit to visit. So far this year we have seen Mallards, Kingfishers, Canada Geese, Herons, Box Turtle, Sliders, Snapping Turtles, Skinks, Muskrats, and a Otter. You never know what will be next! As fall comes on we will likely see a wider variety of birds.
I prefer to meet at the White Bridge Road Trailhead, 'cause there are park benches there. We will start the walk from there, but it's tricky to find. (Try looking on Google Earth.) In fact, it's near impossible to find the first time, GPS DOES NOT WORK, it will send you possibly to Target or somewhere else. Every week someone gets lost, so scout it out beforehand, or come early to allow time for some 'exploring'. (On the plus side: it's lightly used.)
If you prefer, you can park near the Publix Grocery Store on Harding, and access the greenway from the Hill Center Trailhead, which is tucked around on the back left side of the grocery store. (There are no benches there.) It's a delightful walk, you take the new foot bridge over the creek, and it leads leads over to our starting point, it adds about 1/2 mile to the walk overall.
If you have some Friday mornings free, come and join us!
(If it is pouring rain, or showers with lightning, we will cancel; if it is cold and drizzly, we go.)
(Note: this walk begins at 9:35 sharp.)

HEY…voodoo you think you are, JUSTIN BIEBER?
KHLOE KARDASHIAN ain't taking no chances that Bad Boy Vibes might be left lingering in the Calabasas pad she purchased!
She's taking a cue from "Big Bang Theory's" KALEY CUOCO, who bought Khloe's house – then hired a spiritual guru to cleanse it of any negative Kardashian energy.
Said an insider: "Now Khloe's hired her own spiritual purification crew. They'll bring lavender candles, incense, sea salt, and spring water – representing the four elements of fire, air, earth and water – to cleanse bad Bieber vibes lingering from his run-ins with cops and neighbors…not to mention that lunatic egg-throwing incident!"

Guide numbers are strange beasts.
When manufacturers determine guide numbers, there is usually at least some reflected light (off surfaces like ceilings or walls) involved. The conditions used may affect the results, and most likely were at least slightly different for the two different flashes.
In addition, two different flashes may have different angles of coverage.
So if you put two different flashes side by side, you may get light that is at least a little bit different than if you had two copies of the same flash side by side.
It cannot hurt to experiment.

As if anyone living in East Central Indiana needs reminding, times are still tough.
The latest figures released Wednesday by the 2012 Kids Count Data Book, compiled by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, paint a grim picture for Indiana and East Central Indiana.
In Indiana during 2010, the most recent period reported, 22 percent of children younger than 18 live in poverty. The state ranked 31st in overall child well-being. That's bad. It gets worse for the five-county East Central Indiana region: One in four children live in poverty. ...
