Why Did Chinese Stocks Soar 10%, Despite a Bearish Consensus?
The Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast goes against the grain for a spot-on forecast
One of my favorite ways to prepare for the holiday season is to read Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. This year, though, it seemed as if I had already read about Scrooge's gloomy outlook and his negative rants, thanks to the mainstream media's recent pessimistic consensus on China.
For example, here's a sample of headlines about China you might have seen this year:
· "China's Economy: Apocalypse Soon?" -- The New York Times
· "Five Signs of the Chinese Economic Collapse" -- Foreign Policy Magazine
· "Is China Running Out of Steam?" -- The New Yorker
· "Fifteen Reasons Why Everyone Is Suddenly Freaking Out About China" -- Business Insider
· "Falling Star" -- Barron's
But it's not just the Western media: Chinese experts are equally pessimistic. A professor at a Chinese university recently wrote a book titled, The End of the Chinese Dream: Why Chinese People Fear the Future. A prominent Chinese economist claimed that investor sentiment is the "most bearish ever." And even Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jin Bao noted that China's economy faces "huge downward pressure."
Despite the enormous bearish consensus, EWI's Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast Editor Mark Galasiewski has drawn a stunningly different conclusion after meticulously and independently studying the Elliott wave patterns and technical indicators. In a September 2012 Special Report, he went against the grain to tell his readers:
"The Shanghai Composite is forming a ... low near the lower line of the index's long-term trend channel from the early 1990s."
The forecast was radical, indeed. But in early December 2012, prices in the Shanghai Composite hit this long-term trend channel -- then soared. Since Dec. 3, prices are up almost 10%. You can see the stunning reversal in the chart below (Elliott wave labels removed).
But here's the most important question for your portfolio: Is the recent spike a correction in China's bear market or the start of a new bull market?
You get an independent answer -- and a full understanding of our analyst's forecast -- in the December 2012 Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast. This issue gives you a timely update to the Special Report. Plus, you will discover the significance of the "extraordinary convergence of pattern, price, momentum and sentiment."

Asian Markets
The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International's market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.

Lots of people have a namesake and, more often than not, the similarity ends there. Not so for Jersey City resident Wes Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore (Spiegel & Grau, 2010). He and his namesake had a lot in common. They are from the same Baltimore neighborhood, are around the same age, both are African-American, and both were raised by single mothers.
Today, though, their lives couldn't be more different. The author, 31, is an investment banker, a Rhodes scholar, and a former army officer and White House Fellow. The other Moore is serving life in a maximum-security prison.
After reading a newspaper account of the robbery—which included the murder of a police officer—that landed his namesake in prison, Moore felt an uncanny connection that prompted him to reach out. The narrative chronicles the critical decisions that set the men on divergent paths and highlights the importance of mentoring and guidance. "The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his," writes Moore.
The book, which includes a resource guide of organizations that mentor and support youths, addresses the consequences of absent fathers, poor self-image, and young people with limited guidance. The key to the author's success? "I found myself surrounded by people who kept pushing me to see more than what was directly in front of me," writes Moore, "to see the boundless possibilities of the wider world and the unexplored possibilities within myself."

Erica was an exchange student from Portugal and she was staying with Voodoo and his younger sister. He found a condom in his car and he confronted Erica about it. She told him they went to a party and she fucked a guy in the back seat. Voodoo was secretly excited and wanted to know all the details about what she did with this guy in the backseat of his car. He was getting all hot and horny as she told him how she deep throated his cock and got her pussy pounded in the car. Voodoo told her, he might have to send her back home because she might corrupt his sister and she swiftly grabbed him and explained how she could show him more in depth what happened. She quickly began sucking his cock. She got her pussy pounded and got man milk all over her pretty face. He decided to let her stay.

I have a 4 year old Arab mare (Kalila), she was a rescue, I had her doing great and handled all her issues and went from not having her trust me and not able to groom her to a loving mare I can actually wash, brush and trust behind me. I have recently brought in an older mare for my husband to ride(Mariah),she is 15 and was an alpha mare where she was. Since bringing in this mare I have been demoted in Kalila's eyes and it's all about Mariah. I cannot ride her, she has to follow Mariah, and she has been nipping a lot lately. She just mouths me with her lips but actually tries to bite my husband. The new mare I got for him from a friend, he actually learned to ride on this horse (Big city boy).He hasn't been very strict with his horse and she walks all over him and my mare sees this and responds in like.
I have tried to tell him it can get dangerous if he doesn't start becoming firmer with her. My horse now rears at him and pushes him around if I'm not there and is trying it on me also(fat luck on her part). I think he is afraid of her now and she senses it.He lets his horse do whatever she wants while out riding and sees nothing wrong with it.
How do I break her of nipping everyone and get control back. Also how do you tell a headstrong man with no horse knowledge what to do before someone gets hurt. My friend who sold me the horse has tried, this is a well trained show horse, so she knows the ropes. And also any suggestions on getting my horse to go riding without Mariah, I get into a fight everytime, and if one of us just rides Mariah she goes nuts, I guess that's buddy sour. She will try to break throught the fence when Mariah is led out of sight. She acts the same with me sometimes, did I mention she was a rescue who had been starved and ignored, figured would be helpful. Helllllp!

Vintage Juliana D & E hematite gold filigree brooch earring set demi parure circa 1960's. This set is in excellent "like new condition".
There are gold tone filigree spheres with rhinestone centers & brilliant clear rhinestones that circle the spheres on the outside rim. The brooch is layered with the filigree spheres, faux hematite navettes & brilliant clear rhinestones as are the earrings except they are not layered. This set was created by Tony Zangara in the 1960's.
The brooch measures 3 1/4" long x 2 3/8" wide. The earrings measure 1 5/8" long x 7/8" wide. The brooch has a spin clasp which works like new & holds tight. The earrings are clip backs which also work like new & hold tight.
This D & E set is in absolutely fantastic condition. I can not find a thing wrong. There is no signature which is typical because Juliana hardly ever signed his jewelry.

As the Witches in the Bowling Green Opera Theater production of "Dido and Aeneas," Sarah Flamer (front) and (left to right) Kimberly Bright, Maggie Davis and Alana Kolb cast a spell to harm the noble warrior.
BG Opera Theater presents 'La Canterina' and 'Dido and Aeneas'
The Opera Theater at the College of Musical Arts will present Haydn's "La Canterina" and Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" at 8 p.m. Friday (Nov. 3) and 3 p.m. Sunday (Nov. 5) in Kobacker Hall of the Moore Musical Arts Center.
"La Canterina" is a two-act comic opera that will be sung in Italian with English supertitles.
The cast of "La Canterina" features graduate voice students Joan Cano, from the Philippines, as Gasparina and Leslie Douglas of Westland, Mich., as her mother, Apollonia. Senior vocal performance major Josh Hamilton of Cleves appears as Don Pellagio, and Jacob Wilder, a junior vocal performance major from Van Wert, is the singing teacher. Senior Kathryn (Kate) Gibson of Deshler will be the young boy Don Ettore.
"Dido and Aeneas," based on a story from the fourth book of Virgil's "Aeneid," depicts the tragic tale of the Queen of Carthage. The work, to be sung in English, is considered the first English opera ever composed.
Graduate vocal performance major Courtney Cleveland of Louisville, Ky., will portray Dido, while Andrew Cook-Feltz, a graduate vocal performance major from Coralville, Iowa, will be seen in the role of Aeneas.
The production is directed by Dr. Ronald Shields, chair of the University's Department of Theatre and Film. Emily Freeman Brown, director of orchestral activities, and Octavio Mas Arocas, a doctoral music student from Spain, will conduct the Bowling Green Philharmonia. Deborah Tell, dance, serves as choreographer and Kevin Bylsma, instructor of opera, is the vocal coach/chorus master.
Steven Boone, theatre and film, is the set designer for "La Canterina." The centerpiece of the set for "Dido and Aeneas" is installation pieces made of steel and wood by Greg Mueller, art.
Costumes for "La Canterina" were designed by Laurel Daman, costume shop supervisor for the theatre and film department, and costumes for "Dido and Aeneas" are by Margaret McCubbin, also in the department. Lighting design is by Keith Hofacker, technical director at the College of Musical Arts.
Tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens and $10 for other adults. For tickets, call 2-8171.
The performance is a collaboration among the College of Musical Arts, the Department of Theatre and Film, the School of Art and the School of Human Movement, Sport and Leisure Studies.

The Blog expects the Anaheim Ducks today to officially confirm they have signed UAA center Matt Bailey, who just wrapped his college career.
That's because AHL transactions show Bailey has signed an ATO (amateur tryout agreement) with AHL Norfolk, Anaheim's affiliate.
The ATO almost certainly means Bailey's two-way deal (NHL-AHL) will kick in beginning next season.
Given Bailey's age and the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, his deal will be for two years.

Cumberland County
Robert G. Crist
In 1750, Pennsylvania west of the main stem of the Susquehanna River, except York County and its future offspring, Adams, became the new county of Cumberland. However, during the Revolutionary era Cumberland lost two-thirds of its territory. First, in 1771 the province sliced off fourteen townships from the western end and erected Bedford County. Then it created Westmoreland County from Bedford in 1773. By 1776, Cumberland County was reduced to twenty-three townships. Westmoreland five years later lost its western end when Washington County came into being on its southern flank in 1781 and when Fayette was created in 1783. Accordingly, by 1783 four county seats covered the Cumberland County of twenty years earlier.
The entire province was said to have had a population of 220,000 in 1755,1

The Gers Department located in the South West is one of the least spoilt regions of rural France and is considered to be the heart of Gascony. It is a department of rich lands and sweet rivers, a country of geese and foie gras and vineyards destined to fine armagnac. The Gers is the homeland of D'Artagnan and the Musketeers and its landmarks have changed little since the Middle ages: rugged castles, abbeys and bastides, as well as the Renaissance art of Auch's Great cathedral. There is no heavy industry or autoroutes and it has some of the cleanest air in all Europe. It is therefore no surprise that Gascons live longer than any other people in France.
Thinking of buying property in the Gers then please visit our property website La Maison Gasconne which has a great selection of houses to suit all tastes.

joana 4 by alfred-georgWatch

tried bw converting with chanels
It's really interesting... Your Joana series pictures look really intense in the square-cut tumbnail on the sidebar. (That's how I got here.) When I open them, they don't look intense, they look emotional, soft, and a bit too smooth. (Really, I don't like these plastic-smooth skins on portraits, I'm all for natural look.) All this because of the square-cut of the portraits? I think I just learned something about composition.
Beautiful model btw, and nice use of lights. I favorited some of your pictures just now.

Content Management
Once a file appears to work correctly on the staging server, you must move it to the production server. To do this, select one or more files within a directory with the checkboxes on the left-hand side of the file table. Then, click on the "trigger" button at the bottom of the page. The files will be copied over to the production server, instantly making them the "current" copies of the web site.
You can trigger all the files in a directory by clicking on the "check all" checkbox at the bottom of the page, next to the trigger button. This is particularly useful when you have created a new directory and want to use all of the items at once.
If someone happens to modify the production version of a file, it is possible to "reverse-trigger" the file. This copies the file from the production server onto the staging server. This is a potentially dangerous operation, and should not be treated lightly; as a result, Mason-CM asks for explicit confirmation before allowing such an operation.
Once you have the basic Mason-CM functionality working, you may want to try some of the optional features that it includes. Perhaps the most interesting feature is the spell checker, which is a Mason component that uses ispell to check the spelling of the document. The Mason spell checker ignores HTML tags, so you need not worry about having to add "href" to the dictionary.
To enable spell checking, uncomment the "ispell", "main_dict" and "supp_dict" keys in the %cm_config, defined in cmConfig. They are commented out by default; on my Linux system, I was able to uncomment them without making any modifications:
ispell => '/usr/bin/ispell', main_dict => '/usr/lib/ispell/english.hash', supp_dict => "$CM_DATA/suppDict",
Once you have defined these keys, the Mason-CM editor will automatically include a "spell check" checkbox. This means that every time you click on "save", "save and render" or "save and exit," the document will be spell-checked. If a word in the document is misspelled, a small JavaScript program allows you to choose an alternate, ignore the misspelling, or add the word to a dictionary. Everyone on a Mason-CM system shares a dictionary, meaning that if one user adds a word to the dictionary, everyone else will gain from it. (This also means that if one user accidentally adds a misspelled word to the dictionary, everyone will suffer, so be careful!)
Mason-CM also supports the use of RCS for version control. This requires mason.pl to import the RCS module along with Image::Size, URI::Escape, and File::PathConvert. Following that, define (or uncomment) the following lines from cmConfig:
rcs_bin => "/usr/bin", rcs_files => "$CM_DATA/archive",
Once Mason-CM sees that these values are defined, it adds a "version label" text field to the top of the editing page. If you enter a version label when the document is saved to disk, then RCS will automatically be used to keep both the older version of the file and the newer one.
Moreover, activating version control means that the file list will include a "versions" label. Clicking on this brings up a list of the document version history, and provides a nice interface to diff and the ability to check out older versions. Version control is almost a necessity when working on larger web sites, since bugs can creep in almost anytime, and it's often more important to use a stable, older version than an unstable, newer version with more features.
In addition to spell checking and RCS, Mason-CM includes a number of other features: users can upload files via HTTP and FTP, and administrators can restrict user access on a per-directory basis. Because Mason is written in a straightforward dialect of Perl, it shouldn't be difficult to add other features, such as the ability to stage to other computers (rather than other directories) and HTML validation before staging.
Mason may be a powerful tool for creating web sites, but Mason-CM displays the versatility of this tool. Mason-CM demonstrates that Mason components may be used to create a tool that doesn't directly affect the content produced on the Web. I am very impressed with the variety of tools Mason-CM offers, and while I won't be giving up GNU Emacs as my editor of choice in the near future, I do expect to use Mason-CM on a number of my clients' sites—both those that use Mason for content generation, and those that use simpler, less-advanced tools.

The Change Master: He Turned a Family-Run Gunpowder Factory into a Giant Corporation, and Rebuilt a Faltering General Motors. Pierre Du Pont Proves That Even the Most Moribund Company Can Be Rescued with the Right Management Skills
Witzel, Morgen, European Business Forum
Organisational change is one of the hardest of all managerial tasks. Trying to transform a corporation that has become set in its ways can be a slow, painful process, but it is not impossible. The example of Pierre du Pont, who rescued not one but two struggling firms and turned them into world-class businesses, shows that even failing corporations can be rebuilt with the right strategy.
The making of a giant
In 1902, the failing gunpowder maker DuPont (as it is now known), established by El du Pont de Nemours in 1802, had reached such a low ebb that its owners were on the verge of selling out to their rivals. Just two years later, reorganised, restructured and under new management, DuPont controlled 70 per cent of the gunpowder and explosives market in the US.
The men who made this transformation happen were the cousins Pierre and Coleman du Pont, the fourth generation of their family to own and manage the business. After studying chemistry at MIT, Pierre du Pont joined Coleman in a takeover of the Johnson and Lorain Steel Company, which had works in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They were progressive managers; they were among the first to employ FW Taylor as a consultant and to bring in the techniques of scientific management.
Several years later, the cousins sold their company to Elbert Gary's United States Steel. In 1902, in part using the profits from the sale, Pierre, Coleman and another cousin, Alfred, returned to Delaware and bought out the DuPont firm from the older generation of the family. The subsequent reorganisation of DuPont happened at an astonishing speed. Alfred Chandler, who has studied DuPont in detail in later years, remarked that the transformation at DuPont happened in months, whereas other organisations took years (Chandler and Salsbury, 1971).
The first step was to bring in a new management team. A number of managers were headhunted from Johnson and Lorain; two of these, Arthur Moxham and John J Raskbob, went on to become famous names in US management. In the treasury office, du Pont expanded the staff from 12 to over 100, and recruited the talented control accountants Russell Dunham and Donaldson Brown. The company was now expanding rapidly, buying up many of its rivals, and du Pont looked to these former competitors for talent too. By 1904, DuPont had one of the finest management teams in the US.
Rapid expansion required an organisation to support it. The du Ponts created a divisional structure, based around three operating departments: sales, purchasing and a headquarters division. Perhaps the most radical change of all was the establishment, as an adjunct to the headquarters, of a development department under the management of Arthur Moxham. This department had three operating units, which Alfred Chandler rather confusingly also refers to as "divisions". The experimental division, based near Wilmington, supervised research laboratories, investigating problems of process control. The raw materials division worked closely with purchasing, monitoring the quality of raw materials and investigating new sources. Finally, the competitive division worked with the sales department to provide data on competitors and customers. Moxham was a member of the executive committee, which also included the three du Ponts and the head of each operating division.
Pierre du Pont also concentrated on improving the quality of financial information. Both he and Russell Dunham had worked with FW Taylor and absorbed many of his ideas, and together they developed a sophisticated system of cost accounting. They rejected the standard definition of earnings as a percentage of sales (or alternatively, of costs) and instead chose to focus on the rate of return on capital invested. By 1910, there was a further advance as Donaldson Brown worked out a method of relating turnover (the value of sales divided by total investment) and then relating this to earnings as a percentage of sales. …

'Local Heroes' by rOEN911Watch
©2012-2016 rOEN911
Winston Churchill summed up the effect of the battle and the contribution of Fighter Command with the words, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few". Pilots who fought in the Battle have been known as The Few ever since....They become "The Local Heroes"
Looks like its taking part on the coast near Dover. The white cliffs suggest it anyway.
Wow. I have to say, your work is %*@#'in AMAZING! I so love all the tiny little details (the "spent" ammo cartridges, the pilot "bailing out", the Cliffs of Dover "peeking out" through the clouds...) I also quite appreciate all the "factoids" that you include with each of your pieces of Artwork. Absolutely brilliant! 10 stars (out've 10)- Your work is "spot on"! Call me an adoring fan... Peace. Hugh
The Fascist scum think they can bomb Britain! How dare they!

Excellent battle scene... so many elements!
Very nice work. Again the lighting is excellent and a well done complicated composition.
Really great art!
Beautiful picture and no less beautiful statement, congratulations!
Thanks a lot fella.....Something i would like to ask,You took the Chernobyl photos? Amazing....
Some I took from a site devoted to the study of history of the Chernobyl disaster, and they gave me some of my friends who went to the Zone of Alienation, and made a lot of photos of Pripyat and the surrounding areas to it! I show these pictures to make people remember the tragedy, have seen its effects and will never repeat such horrible mistakes ...

Billed as a Meet the Candidates Night for the Tuesday, Sept. 18, Democratic primary, the assemblage of nearly 200 residents were soon witness to a true debate as Mayor Valerie Keehn and her mayoral challenger Gordon Boyd faced the public and each other Monday, Sept. 10, during an event sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
While the campaigns of the two candidates have drawn the attention of the County Democratic Party chairman for its vitriol, the debate was a civil one.
Boyd, in his opening statement, listed his priorities as keeping the current city charter and commission form of government while adjusting the charter to promote more transparency and efficiency. He also said that if he were elected, he would control growth in the city, try to curb the cost of government and the cost of living.
Keehn said she would put public interest before self interest, maintain the quality of life in the city and Saratoga Springs' status as a destination and preserve open space. Changing a stance she held for the majority of her first term, Keehn said she would not seek to change the city's charter in her second term.
During the 90-minute event, the candidates fielded questions from the public and each other, and were given two red cards each to use to immediately respond to their opponent.
On the capital budget
Both candidates fielded questions about the city's near $63 million capital program for the next three years. The $26 million 2008 capital budget includes $17 million for a public safety facility.
Keehn said there is an immediate need for the facility and that it should be bonded out now. Boyd said he favors a program of setting aside $1 million to $2 million per year until the city could afford a new facility.

Purdy begins the essay by writing: "Jesus holds a first mortgage on all that you and I possess. We own it and we have the use of it, just as we possess and inhabit houses on which the bank or savings and loan holds a first mortgage. But at any moment Jesus may call us to dispose of our possessions in order to benefit some person or cause that needs our support. Just as the bank may choose to foreclose, so Jesus has a claim on all we possess. To be called to be a disciple of Jesus is to acknowledge this claim on our money, houses, barns, lands, silver, clothes, cars, stocks, jewels, antiques, and collectibles. Such is the teaching of Jesus' encounter with the rich young man. Let us examine the story in some detail."
How, when or does Jesus call us to dispossess all we have?

The Fellowship: Gilbert, Bacon, Harvey, Wren, Newton, and the Story of a Scientific Revolution
Overlook Press, 2007 - Science - 335 pages
"Seventeenth-century England was ravaged by civil war, plague and fire; a world ruled by superstition and ignorance. But then a series of meetings of 'natural philosophers' in Oxford and London saw the beginning of a new method of thinking based on proof and experiment. And at the heart of this Renaissance were the founding fathers of modern western science: The Royal Society." "John Gribbin gives us a colorful account of this unparalleled time of discovery, explores the birth of the Society, and brings its prime movers to life, including: William Gilbert, Francis Bacon, William Harvey, Christopher Wren, Robert Mory, Robert Hooke, and his ambitious rival Isaac Newton." "This book shows how the triumph of the revolution that changed our world - and still continues 350 years on - was ultimately not the work of one isolated genius, but of a Fellowship."--BOOK JACKET.

America Abroad Media has responded to FAIR's recent Action Alert (5/31/13) about the public radio service's pro-fracking public documentary (4/13) that was backed by funders with a financial interest in promoting natural gas. AAM acknowledged the need for a clearer explanation of fracking's environmental risks, but unfortunately almost completely ignored the funding conflict in its response.
"The action alert from FAIR generated 477 emails from FAIR supporters, at the time of this writing," AAM ombud Jeffrey Dvorkin reported (6/5/13). (Twenty-five of those messages were shared in the comments section of this FAIR Blog post.) The flood of reader messages prompted an eight-page response from Dvorkin, who, according to the AAM website, has only issued one other report as ombud.
The documentary, "Global Energy and Innovations," was funded by a foundation controlled by the ruling family of Qatar, an oil state that has recently made fracking-related investments worth billions of dollars, along with the Stuart Family Foundation, a conservative group that has funded deniers of climate change. Among AAM's general funders are ExxonMobil and Chevron, oil companies that are involved with Qatar's investment in fracking.
But Dvorkin spent only 95 words out of his 2,598-word report discussing the documentary's questionable funding. And neither the producer's nor the AAM president's comments, which he sought and published within his report, even mentioned the program's funding.
Dvorkin wrote:
Nor do I sense an editorial bias in favour of the energy industry. Funders remain at arm's length from the editorial direction of the program. Even so, many in the public radio audience are nervous about their possible influence, and often for good reason.
The dilemma of public broadcasting in America is the necessary reliance on well- resourced funders. The challenge for media organizations is to make it abundantly clear to those underwriters that they have no say in editorial matters. The credibility of public broadcasting with the audience is predicated on that shared understanding.
A funder does not have to have a "say in editorial matters" for the prospect of self-interested support to have a corrosive effect on public media integrity. Dvorkin gave listeners no reason to assume that Qatar's support for a program that served its financial interests was merely a coincidence, as opposed to an investment in programming it assumed would be friendly. Nor did he provide any details on how funders are kept "at arm's length."
The other 2,503 words that were not spent discussing the show's funding conflicts were devoted to reviewing its editorial decisions with the producer and president. Dvorkin wrote:
The goal of the program was to look at how America's energy dependence has shifted in a short period of time to increasing energy independence and the implications of that shift for U.S. foreign policy. It was also to focus on why fracking technology is now more attractive to the energy industry, and to examine the negative impact of fracking on the more promising renewables such as solar and wind power.
As a result, there was less time left to discuss the environment, which is already over-reported, according to the documentary's producer, Martha Little. Said Little:
This, I thought, was a fresh take on what has been a well-reported subject … the serious and expansive environmental impacts of fracking. So there was a conscious effort not to spend too much time on the environmental consequences of the drilling itself, but more the long-term implications for the energy market.
But Little acknowledged that the program should have done more to discuss the dangers of fracking:
Having said that, I do regret that we didn't lay out early enough what fracking is as clearly and completely as we could have, and that includes the environmental risks. We do pay attention to this later in the program, but I would concede that we could have spent a bit more time outlining both the risks and rewards of the new technology.
Actually, the "rewards" of fracking were pretty well-covered in the report. We are left to wonder if she also regrets not disclosing the funders' financial interest in the subject at hand as well.
AAM president Aaron Lobel weighed in by telling listeners that "insufficient coverage is not the same thing as coverage that was tilted towards one side or the other." While he acknowledged that the show could have depicted both sides of the debate more evenly, he had little to say about how that "insufficient coverage" came about.
To fill in the holes, Dvorkin expanded on the history, science and politics of fracking, providing valuable information and sources the show left out. This was valuable background, though buried in a long document that most listeners are unlikely to ever see.
He had a final suggestion for AAM:
AAM should commit to doing another series on the international implications of the changing energy environment, with specific attention to the consequences of cheaper and abundant energy sources.
That's potentially an interesting subject. But as long as America Abroad Media counts on getting funding from major energy industry players for its coverage of the energy industry, it's unlikely to be any more illuminating than "Global Energy and Innovations" was.

Here's my column for this week. It will also appear in Monday's health and science section of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
After a triumphant landing, the Curiosity rover is ready to search Mars for signs of past life or suitability for life. Several readers have raised concerns that NASA scientists might fail to recognize life if it isn't based on carbon or is otherwise radically different from our kind of life.
It's true that biologists don't have a single agreed-upon definition of life, and often end up with a laundry list of characteristics instead.
That's been a concern for NASA, and so in the 1990s, the space agency convened a panel to try to define life, said Steve Benner, a biologist from the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution(Ffame). The panel put evolution front and center: Life, the panel decided, is self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution. Benner said Carl Sagan had some pull on the panel. "This definition is very Saganesque."
Creationists aren't too happy with this, but biologists for the most part say it's a reasonable guess as to what would tie together life through the cosmos.

Wash. Senate approves tax break for disabled vets
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Washington lawmakers have approved a tax exemption for disabled veterans who need vehicle modifications.
The state Senate voted unanimously on Sunday to establish the tax benefit on the installation and repair equipment that would help a person enter, exit or operate a vehicle. Only disabled veterans would qualify for the tax break.
The measure is projected to cost the state some $62,000 in tax revenue over the next two years. The bill now goes to the governor for his signature.

There's something about tha perspective & exposure that's rendering the arm invisible & absent...on my monitor anyway!
I love this series. I love all the cute dresses Diva has. I really likeher outfit she wears in her concert episodes. I am more of a Saya fan, but this pose boosts my Diva fan sense up to a full time high. Wonderful job!

So beautiful!
Wonderful Diva cosplay. Certainly better than my Saya.
Amazing photography as well!

I must give you blue roses if I ever meet you
I have to say I absolutely LOVE this pic.
wow.. i love how she looks in this photo~ pretty~
very baddass and life like!
Woooooooooooow.....amazing cosplay!!!!!!!!!!!
Very beautiful, I could never pull off that hair do or put in blue contacts if I ever wanted to cosplay her, but I would LOVE to design her final battle outfit, it's so elaborate and interesting to me!
I know I'll feel stupid when I see your answer, but where's the best place to get a blue rose like Diva's? If I get everything situated I'll be attending Tekkoshocon '09 dressed as Michael Myers and I'm basing it on the Blood+/Halloween fic I'm writing which reveals that Michael is actually one of Diva's Chevaliers. I need the rose to stick out of one of the jumpsuit pockets.
I am not too sure about this, sorry
Every time I see Lenneth as Diva it makes me wonder if her name really is Lenneth. How do I know she's not really Diva in disguise?
GREAT DIVA.......(^_^)v
so pretty, lovely picture!
Like the real deal XD
i agree with u.
I loove this one! It almost looks like you did this by computer! The person is the perfect image of Diva! She gives off Diuva's cold and icy heartless form quite well... Good job!
So fabulous!!!
Wonderful! simply wonderful! I would love to know how you made it. I'm cosplaying as Diva as well. ^^
I <3 the photo! Did you happen to find someone in a Saya cosplay with the pink gown on?
Wow, amazing Diva cosplay! ^^
Great pics Blood+ has been one of my favorite shows and these pics just add to it.
I love all of your cosplay pictures; you (and the person cosplaying) are great at not only getting the costumes but displaying the emotion of the actual character, that's why i love your work so much. I wish i could buy the prints and frame them.
Thank you very much! ^^
But I do need to get her permission before putting it up for sale... it's one thing to put up a photo for display, it's another to put it up for sale.
