A Louisville company planning to relocate to Crestwood brings the hope of 35 to 40 new jobs in addition to it's current 103-person workforce.
MP Collections, a debt collector, plans to relocate from Main Street in downtown Louisville to a 100,000-square foot building in Crestwood Station shopping center.
Deana Epperly Karem, executive director of Oldham Chamber & Economic Development, said the move will revitalize an important area of our community.
"The jobs and the investment will give the Crestwood Station a much-needed boost," she said.

Our strategy
Improve community infrastructure, health, resiliency and economic opportunities in Indonesia's most challenging urban and coastal areas.
The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than two dollars a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor. The island is also one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country and helping spice farmers earn more income
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes
All stories about Indonesia
Indonesia: Growing with Kedai Balitaku
I believe that helping people to sell nutritious foods for children is the best strategy to ensure sustainability.
Indonesia: From pushing a pedicab to steering a healthy food cart
His name is Gunanto, or Gun for short. He's 32 years old with two school-aged children. His wife works as a laundry laborer in their Jakarta neighborhood and earns 150,000 Indonesian rupiah — about US$15 — per month.
Indonesia: Padang: seven months after the earthquake
"Now I know what to do when an earthquake strikes. I will hide under a table," said Nisa, a third grader at Coroco elementary school, Pesisir Selatan district, West Sumatra after joining a Mercy Corps earthquake and tsunami awareness session.
Indonesia: Change starts here!
Indonesia: Earthquake in Sumatra
Yesterday's 7.7-magnitude earthquake about 125 miles off the coast of northern Sumatra caused surprisingly little damage.
Indonesia: Be sincere to get more
Indonesia: Kedai Balitaku provides employment
Mrs. Anik joined Kedai Balitaku Aceh — Mercy Corps' Child Nutrition Program that helps vendors sell healthy foods to children — in December 2009.
Indonesia: Helping the baby get better
My name is Muhammad Rizal. I'm working with Mercy Corps as the Marketing Officer for a nutrition program called Kedai Balitaku in Aceh Province, Indonesia.
Indonesia: Now it's time to trade
"Going to shop for your everyday needs — rice, vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, spices, various food...please visit PASAI TANI!"
Indonesia: Let the children enjoy the world
It is almost midnight here in Ambon, Indonesia. I'm about going to sleep but I realized that I haven't visited the Mercy Corps Blog today. Since morning I was too busy at the office completing some work and didn't have any chance to do my everyday ritual — reading the blog.

When moving a locally developed Joomla 1.7 site to a server results in the error Infinite loop detected in JError in Joomla 1.7 there's something wrong with the configuration in configuration.php
First double check the following variables:
public $dbtype = 'mysqli'; // if your server doesn't support mysqli, try 'mysql' public $host = '[some host]'; public $user = '[some database user]'; public $password = '[some password]'; public $db = '[some database]'; public $dbprefix = '[someprefix_]'; public $log_path = '/logs'; public $tmp_path = '/tmp';
To get detailed information about the error, edit on the server /libraries/joomla/error/error.php
public static function throwError(&$exception) { static $thrown = false; // If thrown is hit again, we've come back to JError in the middle of throwing another JError, so die! if ($thrown) { // echo debug_print_backtrace(); jexit(JText::_('JLIB_ERROR_INFINITE_LOOP')); }
remove the //commenting tag and add the < pre > tags to get a readable output
// echo debug_print_backtrace();
change to:
print"<pre>"; echo debug_print_backtrace(); print"</pre>";
Now Joomla will show a more detailed error that might give you some clues of how to correct the settings in your configuration.php. Don't forget to switch off the detailed error reporting afterwards by commenting the echo debug_print_backtrace();.

The Candy gets a new wrapper but keeps the same delicious flavor that you know and love. The resin body has been replaced anodized CNC machined aluminum for increased durability and a higher bling factor. Performance remains the same. You get 6 degrees of float and depending on how you orient the cleats there's either a 15 or 20 degree release angle. The Candy 2 pedals roll on a steel spindle with a bushing and cartridge bearing system. Should they ever need to be serviced, crankbrothers has designed them to be very easy to be maintained. The included cleats are the same as always and will fit any 2 bolt, SPD style shoe.
Upgraded to these from the Eggbeater a few years ago. I like the bigger platform but the same feel as the Eggbeater. These things are durable, but will definitely scrape you up if you don't tend to any sharp edges after a ride. The material seems to get bashed pretty well by rocks and leaves some sharp protrusions. That being said, they still function exactly the same as they did the day I bought them.
Work great in the mud! Easy to clip in when muddy. Haven't clogged once. Only downside is there is a lot of float. So far they are great.
These pedal are so awesome! Super easy to cup in and out of, plus they had them in orange so even better.
New to clip less pedals and had been using spd's for awhile. Wanted something lighter that had less chance of getting clogged with mud and debris on the trail. Found these at a great price and they are just what I needed. Light, easy to use, and work no matter how dirty they get.
Love my Candy 2's! Easy clip-in/out.....always. I've had these pedal for about a year now and have had ZERO problems. They're on a perfectly tensioned spring, so you never have to adjust them. Low maintenance AND they never get gunked up with mud (I live in a river valley, so I'm always riding thru plenty of mud).
I have had many Crank Bros. pedals and I find that they work very well. The weight is low and they just plain work. Consistent release, and I love the orange!
Love these pedals... had them for years and they just keep doing what they need to do. would recommend them to anyone
Awesome set of crankbrothers pedals... never clog and the simplicity of them means little pieces never break
Don't get me wrong, these pedals are worth it, but I got one that was a bit tougher to get out of than the other. Without an adjustment, you can't fix it. The nice thing about these is the platform gives you plenty of ability to pedal without being clipped in on a steep start or if you are planning on needing to get out in a hurry, you can unclip and still have plenty of pedal to stand on. I would buy again for sure. The extra "bling" looks good, but maybe more colors!
Good support, great weight and wonderful float. Lots of sharp CNC edges that WILL cut your calf. I had to take a file to all the edges to round them over. I suspect that the particular aluminum allow is pretty soft because whenever I smack a rock , a nasty sharp edge is created. Here in Pennsyl-rocky, this is a problem. Lousy bearings and spin. I had to put a spacer between the two main pieces to get the bearings to spin freely. I am going back to TIME ATACs even though they are heavier dollar for dollar.
the pedals hold really well, but also nearly "eject" the clip with about 15-20 degrees of twist. easy in, easy out. and good power transfer. and they look good.
the pedals hold really well, but also nearly "eject" the clip with about 15-20 degrees of twist. easy in, easy out. and good power transfer. and they look good.
These are the best pedals you can get for the price. Very easy to rebuild is anything goes wrong. But most of all they just seem to always due what I want. Whenever I have a nasty fall I always manage to get my feet out and whenever im in a rough technical section and need my feet in they never release to early. Rode with spd's before and these are a thousand times better, and better looking in my opinion.

Mopar Nationals Road Trip - Covering The Country, Mopar Muscle StyleWritten by on January 1, 2003 Contributors: Mopar Muscle Staff, Jerry Pitt, The Mopar Muscle Staff All Roads Lead To Columbus, Ohio
It's an annual event, and this year was the 22nd time it occurred. The Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, is the largest Mopar-only happening in the country. A few years ago, the brains behind Mopar Muscle magazine thought it would be a great idea if we could start from different parts of the country and "caravan" groups of enthusiasts to the Mopar Nationals, ending the tours at Columbus' infamous Brice Road.
We quickly learned that you guys also thought it was a good idea, and the caravans have become a yearly tradition ever since. This year, we had to drop a couple legs from the trip due to a lack of manpower, but in the end the meeting at Brice Road was just as large-if not larger-as in previous years.
Although the gathering at Brice Road is an event unto itself, the caravans are the foundation for the real fun. Meeting everybody, driving on the interstate with a line of Mopars, and the spirited activities once we all get to the nightly layovers are the things everybody looks forward to in early August. The trips are sometimes long, but when the engines turn off on Brice Road, the tired and weary drivers forget all about that.
The Mopar Nationals have begun!
Keystone Caravan
Fairfield, New Jersey, to Columbus, Ohio, is a long haul. The two-day excursion was piloted through the vast countryside of the Northeast, and few problems were encountered. We met lots of great people along the way. Some folks even contacted us at the beginning of the tour to offer their services, if needed, when we reached their part of the country. If you can, join one of the caravans next year. Even though this was my first trip with the Keystone bunch, I had the feeling these folks were like a family. They all knew each other, and one lady even brought brownies for everybody. I definitely want to do this tour again.
Hallowed Ground
The launching point for the Detroit-Columbus cruise was, for the third year running, the Walter P. Chrysler museum. Located within the DaimlerChrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan, the museum is the perfect mental and physical staging point for a caravan to the Mopar Nationals. Participants are treated to a discount, and about an hour is set aside for the group to explore the various aspects of Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, and Jeep history through a variety of restored and preserved Mopar products. After our tour time, museum floor manager Sabrina expertly directed our crew around the museum entrance for a photo op.
Tennessee, Ho!
The Memphis leg of the Return to Brice Road caravan launched from Competition Cams-exactly one week before the 25th Anniversary of the death of Elvis. So, Memphis was shakin' and groovin', getting ready for the big event, expecting more people than were gladly welcomed. I met tech superstar Steve Dulcich at the airport and we made quick time to Comp Cams to pick up the true King of Rock 'n' Roll-the Hot Rod Hemi Ram!
David Hakim of Chrysler's performance division had put together a beast to be reckoned with. Yes, we quickly became big boys with big toys. Driving in traffic, the passenger in the car beside us pulled out his camera and snapped a shot. Another driver gave us the thumbs-up. Someone at every service station between Memphis and Columbus asked us to pop the hood to see the 528 Hemi engine. It was great! And as for driver Dulcich-I knew that any time a straight patch of road opened up before us, I needed to hang on and pray my seatbelt was fastened because the G-forces were coming my way.
Not to be outdone, a collection of beautiful Mopars graced the Midwestern highways with us: Bobby Coln brought his '55 Windsor from Savannah, Tennessee. Jessie Fillingame's '69 'Cuda 440 stormed in from Beaumont, Texas. From Elizabethtown, Illinois, came Eric Livingston's classic '56 Plymouth station wagon (you don't see enough of those). John Mills drove his '71 Super Bee from Maple Grove, Minnesota. Missouri's Timothy Ross added a dimension with his 2000 Dodge Ram 3500. And as we cruised through Terre Haute, Indiana, two more enthusiasts joined the rolling car show: Larry Mauer in his '96 Viper and Ed Miller in his 2000 Prowler. We were quite a sight.
Many more hit the open road with us once we arrived at The Paddock, which threw quite a party for this car-crazed crowd. With a full lunch, Mopars throughout the parking lot, and parts available inside, The Paddock was the perfect gathering point before the homestretch to Columbus.
The usual breakdowns and pit stops expected among a car convoy such as ours were minimal. An alternator belt was the most serious offender. Otherwise, it was smooth sailing-pure Mopar mania for two days of bliss.
Our mix was eclectic: Veterans whose gray hair still fluttered in the open-window breeze of highway driving, young guns excited to be part of something with so much history, couples with speed in their blood and burnouts in their bones, and sons and daughters finally understanding the lure of the Mopar lifestyle.
It was quite a trip. And I'm not exaggerating to say that most participants said the caravan was as good as, if not the best part of, the whole Nats experience. I agree. Not to diminish the show, but nothing beats joining fellow enthusiasts for a two-day-long Sunday drive under blue skies and red sunsets, turning heads, and living the Mopar dream.
Elvis-shake, rattle, and roll, baby!
Oh, Hotlanta!
Forget all the misconceptions about the South. A trip through, around, and out of Atlanta will prove to you that laid-back is far from reality.
If you want to dispel any of those Deliverance myths you've conjured up, all you need to do is join the Year One crew from Tucker, Georgia, and travel the distance to Columbus on some of America's most scenic and driveable interstates.
For the fifth consecutive time, our launch host from Atlanta was Year One. With detailed driving directions, we easily made the trek from the east suburbs of Atlanta north through Chattanooga to Knoxville and on to Sevierville, Tennessee, home of Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum.
After an overnight stay, we bee-lined from northeastern Tennessee through Kentucky, around Cincinnati, and onto Brice Road.

The Northeast tour began at Just Suspensions in Fairfield, New Jersey, and started the caravan with 16 participants.We met Dennis Hook and his wife during the caravan. Their '67 'Cuda worked flawlessly. It even knew how to get us back on the right path, but that's another story.Those of you with a Shaker-hood car know how tough it can be to change a valve-cover gasket. Try doing it on the road. Peter Caiola from Bronx, New York, had to do just that on his wife's (the brownie lady) convertible while at Summit Racing. He also had to change the master-cylinder lid gasket on his Challenger convertible because it was leaking.Dennis Kohr (a contributor for another Mopar magazine) brought his family along for the caravan. There was one close call with the fuel gauge, but a well-placed service station cured that.Thomas Titus and his family got the hard-luck award on the Keystone caravan. At one of the gas stops, Thomas tried to start his Road Runner only to have the starter literally come apart. Luckily, his was a four-speed car, and with a quick push, he was underway. Thomas drove three hours out of the way to a relative's house to make the repairs, and later arrived at our hotel in Ohio at 5:30 a.m. He joined us when we pulled out at 9:00 a.m. en route to Summit Racing.Start 'em early. That's what Walter Patruskey of Mt. Ephram, New Jersey, did. He and his son came along for the ride, and Walter wasn't the only one doing the driving. Are we starting another Young Gun, Walter?When Douglas McCombs of Volant, Pennsylvania, joined the caravan, we all took some time to ponder the virtues of his '65 Valiant. The 340 four-speed-equipped A-Body worked as well as it looked. Stay tuned for future coverage of this one.
Jerry Lebar of Easton, Pennsylvania, trailered his astounding AAR to Brice Road, but the fact that his trailer used a Mopar Muscle license plate on it added to the coolness. Yes, once he arrived in Columbus, the car was off of the trailer the rest of the weekend.Wayne Lukonis from Meriden, Connecticut, and his brother Neil definitely livened things up, ensuring the "partay" atmosphere remained intact.The asphalt jaunt from Auburn Hills, Michigan, to Columbus, Ohio, isn't exactly what you would call a hard-core road trip. Barring major traffic or construction delays and pit crew-efficient gas stops, it's only half a day's drive. The Mopar Muscle caravan, however, ensures a heaping helping of fun that you wouldn't enjoy travelling solo.Rotten Rubber
Because the Detroit caravan is only a leisurely day trip, we didn't have time, thankfully, to indulge in major roadside repairs, although one did surface for posterity's sake. On our first gas stop somewhere in the Great Lakes state, Jay Ottenwess noticed a coolant leak in his '75 W-200 crew cab. One of the water-pump hoses decided to cut loose. Fortunately, a run to an area parts store netted Jay a replacement hose and coolant, and we were soon back on the road.Gas-Pump Invasions
One thing that keeps road trips interesting is the stops along the way. We can only imagine what was going through the mind of the old man who was running the register of this dual-pump gas station when our sizable caravan rolled onto his turf.Tip From A Drop-Top Veteran
Scott Robertson and son have this road-trip thing figured out. Multifold maps aren't the easiest navigation resources to have when you're flying down the road in a 383 'Cuda convertible. Scott's tip-o'-the-trip is to laminate your map to a piece of cardboard.
The caravan from Memphis, led by Mopar Muscle tech guru Steve Dulcich and copy editor Jim Frye, may well have been called the truck caravan. By the looks of this shot, they were a force to be reckoned with. Guess we better step up the truck tech, eh?Meet B.O.B.
Tim Peaker of Cummings, Georgia, joined us for the entire trip from Year One to Brice Road. His ride was a '67 Plymouth Fury II sedan named B.O.B.-Big, Old, and Blue. Equipped with a Slant Six, it may not have been the fastest or flashiest Mopar on the tour, but it certainly was the most lovable. B.O.B.and Tim met at last year's Mopar Nationals, and Tim plans on many more trips with B.O.B. to the Nats.On the second day, the caravan headed out after a lunch stop and tour of The Paddock's new Restoration Parts facility. The size of this place is unbelievable, and the company can better serve customers with the entire facility now under one roof.Her Dart
Leigh McGlaughlin's husband, Terry, knows how to please his wife. For their sixth anniversary, Terry bought Leigh this '68 Dart. But don't for a moment think this is her first foray into Mopar-dom. This Mopar is her sixth. "The Dart is a cruiser, going to shows and to work on nice days," Leigh says. While she was offered a cool $7,000 for the A-Body, she quickly turned down the potential buyer.Southern Hospitality
In Sevierville, we again had the opportunity to sample Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum. On display were several of Ted Stephens' Mopars, including this pair of Challengers featured in the remake of the cult classic, Vanishing Point.For more information on the Muscle Car Museum, give Floyd a call at 423/908-0882.
Truckin'
In addition to two trucks pulling trailered Mopars (Robert Moore's 11-second '69 GTX and James Godfrey's '70 Dodge Hemi Charger R/T ), the Year One caravan also included John and Lynda Guarnieri's '79 Dodge Lil' Red Express, Bruce Hockensmith's A-100 Club Cab-a rare A-100, for sure-and our lead vehicle provided by Dodge, an '01 Dodge Ram 1500 driven by Year One's Pat Staton.Chargers!
Kevin Bucheger's '71 Charger R/T has become an institution on each of the Atlanta caravans to the Mopar Nationals. Kevin had an alternator go south on him, but fortunately the Year One execs helped him out by watching him make the alternator swap on day two. Greg Slater and his '71 Charger joined us just south of Cincinnati. The gold Charger features a 440/727 combination that Greg had driven more than 1,000 miles during the summer prior to the Return to Brice Road caravan.

VATICAN CITY — On the streets in Buenos Aires, the stories about the cardinal who would become the first pope from the Americas often include a very ordinary backdrop: The city bus during rush hour.
Tales are traded about chatting with Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio as he squeezed in with others for the commute to work. They sometimes talk about church affairs. Other times it could be about what he planned to cook for dinner in the simple downtown apartment he chose over an opulent church estate.
Or perhaps it was a mention of his affection for the tango, which he said he loved as a youth, despite having one of his lungs removed after an infection.
On the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica just after a rain shower Wednesday — wearing unadorned white robes — the new Pope Francis also appeared to strike the same tone of simplicity and pastoral humility for a church desperate to move past the tarnished era of abuse scandals and internal Vatican upheavals.
While the new pontiff is not without some political baggage — including questions over his role during a military dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s — the selection of the 76-year-old Bergoglio reflected a series of history-making decisions by fellow cardinals who seemed determined to offer a suggestion of renewal to a church under pressures on many fronts.
"He is a real voice for the voiceless and vulnerable," said Kim Daniels, director of Catholic Voices USA, a pro-church group. "That is the message."
Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, came close to becoming pope during the last conclave in 2005. He reportedly gained the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running before selection of Vatican insider Joseph Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI.
By returning to Bergoglio, the conclave confounded speculation that it would turn to a younger candidate more attuned to younger elements in the church and with possibly more stamina for the rigors of the modern papacy with nearly nonstop obligations and frequent global travel. Pope Francis appears in good health, but his age and possible limitations from his single lung raise questions about whether he can face the demands of the position.
Unlike many of the other papal contenders, meanwhile, Bergoglio never held a top post inside the Vatican administration, or curia. This outsider status could pose obstacles in attempts to reform the Vatican, which has been hit with embarrassing disclosures from leaked documents alleging financial cover-ups and internal feuds.
But the conclave appeared more swayed by Bergoglio's reputation for compassion on issues such as poverty and the effects of globalization, and his fealty to traditional church teachings such as opposition to birth control.
His overriding image, though, is built around his leaning toward austerity. The motto chosen for his archdiocese is "Miserando Atque Eligendo," or "Lowly but Chosen."
Even after he became Argentina's top church official in 2001, he never lived in the ornate church mansion where Pope John Paul II stayed when visiting the country, preferring a simple bed in a downtown building, warmed by a small stove on frigid weekends when the building turned off the heat. For years, he took public transportation around the city, and cooked his own meals.
He accused fellow church leaders of hypocrisy and forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes.
"Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony. Go out and interact with your brothers. Go out and share. Go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit," Bergoglio told Argentina's priests last year.
Bergoglio almost never granted media interviews, limiting himself to speeches from the pulpit, and was reluctant to contradict his critics, even when he knew their allegations against him were false, said Bergoglio's authorized biographer, Sergio Rubin.
Bergoglio's legacy as cardinal includes his efforts to repair the reputation of a church that lost many followers by failing to openly challenge Argentina's dictatorship. He also worked to recover the church's traditional political influence in society, but his outspoken criticism of President Cristina Fernandez couldn't stop her from imposing socially liberal measures that are anathema to the church, from same-sex marriage and adoption to free contraceptives for all.
His church also had no say when the Argentine Supreme Court expanded access to legal abortions in rape cases, and when Bergoglio argued gay adoptions discriminate against children. Fernandez compared his tone to "medieval times and the Inquisition."
Yet Bergoglio has been tough on hard-line conservative views among his own clerics, including those who refused to baptize the children of unmarried women.
"These are today's hypocrites; those who clericalize the church," he told his priests. "Those who separate the people of God from salvation."
Bergoglio felt most comfortable taking a very low profile, and his personal style has been the antithesis of Vatican splendor.
His preference to remain in the wings, however, has been challenged by rights activists seeking answers about church actions during the dictatorship after the 1976 coup, often known as Argentina's "Dirty War."
Many Argentines remain angry over the church's acknowledged failure to openly confront a regime that was kidnapping and killing thousands of people as it sought to eliminate "subversive elements" in society. It's one reason why more than two-thirds of Argentines describe themselves as Catholic, but fewer than 10 percent regularly attend Mass.
Under Bergoglio's leadership, Argentina's bishops issued a collective apology in October 2012 for the church's failures to protect its flock. But the statement blamed the era's violence in roughly equal measure on both the junta and its enemies.

Lowndes Co., GA - Now that the Sequester is going into effect there will be deep across the board budget cuts and that's bad news for Moody Air Force Base.
Lt. Kirchhoff with Public Affairs tells Eyewitness News the Sequester means "major" cuts are coming to Moody. They will start with the Department of Defense and work their way down. But right now it's not clear what they will be. That picture won't come into focus until days or weeks after the Sequester takes effect.

The Price Tag for Climate Change Continues to Climb
Global warming currently cuts into the planet's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 1.6 percent annually. This translates into $1.2 trillion, and the number is expected to double to 3.2 percent by the year 2030 if carbon dioxide emissions aren't curbed.
According to the "Climate Vulnerability Monitor: A Guide to the Cold Calculus of a Hot Planet" report, the costs of inaction far outweigh the costs of taking on climate change. The report estimates reducing emissions at a cost of 0.5 percent GDP over the next 10 years.
And if money isn't motivation enough, take a look at the almost 5 million deaths annually due to climate change. The report estimates it causes an average of 400,000 deaths each year, mainly from hunger and contagious diseases, plus an additional 4.5 million deaths annually from related global warming causes such as air pollution, dangerous occupations in the fossil fuel industry, and cancer.
The average of 3.2 percent losses to global GDP disguises the plight of poorer, developing nations who are disproportionately affected. The estimate for these countries, such as Bangladesh, for example, is an average of 11 percent of GDP by 2030. This is not to say that major economies avoid the effects either. China alone is estimated to lose more than $1.2 trillion in less than 20 years. By 2030, the total economic losses for the United States, India, and China will reach $2.5 trillion. According to the report, these three nations also will suffer over 3 million deaths annually, or half of all deaths.
A report released in July by the European Commission Joint Research Centre and PBL, the Netherlands' environmental assessment agency calculated that last year global carbon dioxide emissions reached their highest point ever at 34 billion metric tons.
It's time to tackle climate change now to reverse this scary trend and save lives. The price tag for doing nothing is too high.
More Evidence of an Increasing Market for Renewable Energy
The desire for renewable energy world-wide is on the rise according to a pair of recently released studies commissioned by wind turbine manufacturer, Vestas. Eighty-five percent of global respondents want more renewable energy in the market, says the Global Consumer Wind Energy Study. And 49% of those surveyed would be willing to pay more for renewable energy. The survey also illuminated that 45% believe climate change is one of the big three challenges facing the globe.
The survey polled 24,000 respondents in 20 countries and also found that 62% would buy products from companies who use wind energy. Almost three quarters of consumers indicated they would feel more positive if companies used wind as its primary source of energy.
The second study examines what companies do voluntarily for renewable energy production. Bloomberg New Energy Finance writes the Corporate Renewable Energy Index, which found that global investments in renewable energy capacity are overtaking those of fossil fuels; $237 billion compared to $223 billion. Furthermore, companies are increasingly committing to renewable energy. They purchased 40% of renewable energy last year.
The trend of businesses planning for climate change is not news to readers of our blog. However, it is encouraging to see companies actually making investments in renewable energy. It only makes sense as it lowers their risk. So these studies point to both consumers and corporations demanding more renewable energy. Isn't it time governments join the trend too? The scale goes from smaller to larger effects when consumers, businesses, and governments work together to lower global carbon emissions. We are looking forward to a clean energy future powered by renewable energy sources.
Eco Alkalines™ Batteries Renew Commitment to Going Carbon Neutral With the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program Administered by NSF International
ANN ARBOR, Mich., BETHESDA, Md. & BARRIE, Ontario, Canada (September 18, 2012) - Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF International are pleased to announce the renewal of LEI Electronics' Eco Alkalines™ batteries into the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program. In addition to completing a carbon footprint, the batteries continue to meet and exceed some of the most important international standards such as PAS 2050 (carbon label standard) and ISO 14044 (life cycle assessment standard).
LEI's Eco Alkalines™ batteries are entering their third year under the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program offered through NSF International's Sustainability Division. CarbonFree® certified products are available in multiple countries and LEI reports increasing sales as the product continues to gain acceptance from consumers seeking a cleaner way to meet their battery needs. For example, retailers such as Best Buy, Costco, Grainger, Walmart, Amazon, The Home Depot and many others are recognizing the value of these batteries and offering them to their eco-conscious customers. Commercial customers also report using LEI's Eco Alkalines™ batteries to assist in meeting their green goals.
LEI Electronics Eco Alkalines™ batteries may also contribute to earning LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits. LEED was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operation and maintenance solutions. LEED is based on a credit system and points are allocated based on the potential environmental impacts and human benefits of each credit. Under the current LEED credit system, Eco Alkalines™ batteries may contribute to earning one prerequisite and one point under the LEED category of Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (EBOM) rating system.
Lionel Lalonde, Partner and Vice President of Sales at Eco Alkalines™, credits their steadily increasing sales to the growing consumer demand for sustainable products and the competitive market edge and product confidence associated with the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program. "Certification sets us apart from our competitors," says Lalonde. "We are currently the world's only disposable alkaline battery with this certification. We have found that certification has helped to increase our market share and create customer and brand loyalty among consumers who are seeking to purchase and use eco-friendly products."
CarbonFree® certification also lends credibility to Eco Alkalines™, a relatively newer brand, in a marketplace of well-known battery products. "Although many products claim to be 'green' or 'eco-friendly,' these terms are often used loosely or without a clear description of what that means. We wanted third-party verification from two trusted and recognizable organizations – Carbonfund.org and NSF International - so that consumers would understand and have faith in our green claims," added Lalonde.
Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org Foundation, agrees, "Eco Alkalines™ batteries are an important solution to climate change, providing consumers a simple and affordable way to meet their daily needs while limiting their impact on our environment and supporting innovative carbon-reducing projects globally. Eco Alkalines™ is continuing its commitment to environmental protection and proof positive that what is good for the planet is also good business."
"By maintaining its CarbonFree® certification through NSF International, LEI's Eco Alkalines™ batteries continue to lead the disposable battery industry to a more sustainable future and provide businesses and consumers with a certified carbon neutral battery that will help them achieve their green building and sustainability goals," said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF Sustainability.
Manufactured with 0 percent mercury, lead, and cadmium, Eco Alkalines™ batteries set the standard for responsible disposable alkaline batteries. Eco Alkalines™ brand batteries have ZERO of these heavy metals while all other batteries carry at least one or more of these toxic elements. Eco Alkalines™ batteries use recycled materials where possible and contain 98 percent plus recyclable content. While they are considered landfill safe, recycling is still advised where available. Eco Alkalines™ also have a patented leak resistant seal, ensuring they will not leak into devices.

Businesses Begin to Plan for Climate Change
A survey released this week showed increasing oversight by top executives in their climate change strategies. Ninety-two percent of respondents indicated their company's board or high-level executive had oversight over climate strategies, which is an increase of six percentage points from the 2011 survey.
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) received responses from 338 of the S&P 500 firms indicating progress in carbon emissions reduction goals as well as disclosing these results. CDP offers a system for cities and companies to measure and share their environmental action.
Companies such as Microsoft Corp, United Parcel Service, Hess Corp, Pepco Holdings, and Sempra Energy Utilities are not waiting to address the risks from climate change to their overall business goals. Man-made or not, these companies won't wait around to figure out who caused climate change. They're taking steps now to lessen their financial risk.
Eighty-one percent of survey respondents identified physical risk from climate change, with 37 percent considering the risks "a real and present danger" – an increase of 10 percent from two years ago. Eighty-three percent of companies reported that climate change had been factored into corporate risk management strategies, which was only at 75 percent in 2011.
These results directly contrast with a distinct hesitation in the regulation of greenhouse gases by U.S. lawmakers. Congress' opinions on climate change run the gamut from ambivalence to skepticism to even outright disbelief. Fortunately businesses that are beholden to their shareholders see the value in planning for climate change since it will certainly impact their bottom lines.
What is an Ecological Footprint?
We've already examined and defined a carbon footprint, but have you ever heard of an ecological footprint? An ecological footprint compares human demands on nature with the Earth's ability to regenerate resources and provide services.
Ecological footprints are ever changing because of advances in technology and a three-year lag for the UN to collect and publish statistics. However, it is a standardized measure that begins by assessing the amount of biologically productive land and sea area necessary to supply the resources a human population uses. This is then contrasted with the planet's ability to absorb associated waste and ecological capacity to regenerate. Think of it like how much of the Earth (or how many planet Earths) it would take to support humanity given an average lifestyle. In 2007, humanity's total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths. This means humans are currently using ecological services 1.5 times quicker than Earth can renew them.
William Rees was the first academic to publish about an ecological footprint in 1992. He supervised the PhD dissertation of Mathis Wackernagel who outlined the concept and offered a calculation method. Rees penned the term ecological footprint in a more accessible manner than the original name of "appropriated carrying capacity" after a computer technician described Rees' new computer as having a small footprint on the desk. Wackernagel and Rees published the book Our Ecological Footprint: Reducing Human Impact on the Earth in early 1996.
The implications are dire according to Rees who wrote in 2010, "…the average world citizen has an eco-footprint of about 2.7 global average hectares while there are only 2.1 global hectare of bioproductive land and water per capita on earth. This means that humanity has already overshot global biocapacity by 30% and now lives unsustainabily by depleting stocks of 'natural capital'."
We're definitely overspending the planet's resources. Just take a look at man-made global warming and climate change. We need to continue on the path to seeking a sustainable lifestyle, and do it on a global scale. All of us working together can reduce the amount of the earth's resources that we consume. Start with yourself and get creative with how many ways you can save energy and recycle. What's great about beginning with energy efficiency is that it can save you money too. Then there are cost effective ways to offset the rest such as by contributing to Carbonfund.org's development of renewable energy technologies and carbon emissions reduction projects. The important thing is to get started right away.
Groundbreaking Fuel Economy Standards – Historic Progress to Limit Carbon Emissions and Tackle Climate Change
In what is easily the best environmental action in a generation, this week, the Obama Administration announced new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for cars and light trucks (think minivans and sport utility vehicles). By 2025, these vehicles will be required to average 54.5 miles per gallon (MPG).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulates CAFE standards and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency measures vehicle fuel efficiency. An agreement in support of acceptable standards was made between the government, automakers and their unions, and environmental organizations.
The stage for these historic fuel economy standards was set by an energy law enacted in 2007 under President George W. Bush. Additionally, the 2009 federal bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler were tied to better fuel efficiency.
Fuel-efficient cars and trucks were the U.S. auto industry's saving grace. It makes good sense on multiple levels to continue these efforts. For one, 570,000 new jobs can be created by 2030. Not to mention saving consumers more than $1.7 trillion at the gas pump and reducing U.S. oil consumption by 12 billion barrels. This also translates to strengthening national security by lessening the country's dependence on foreign oil.
What about fighting man-made global warming? The new standards will cut greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks in half by 2025. This reduces emissions by 6 billion metric tons, which is more than the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the United States in 2010. We thank President Obama for his leadership on combating climate change, pollution prevention and national security.
Starting in 2017, the standards will be phased in over the course of eight years. New fuel-saving technology is projected to increase the cost of new car or light truck by $3,000 on average. This means consumers will pay a little more when they buy the vehicle, about $50 more a month over a five-year loan, but they'll more than make up for it at the pump with expected gas savings per vehicle between $7,000 - $8,000. And that is good for the environment and our wallets.
Undeniably, the vehicle fuel-efficiency standards represent an unbeatable combination of protecting the environment and strengthening the economy. They're also the nation's single largest effort to combat climate-altering greenhouse gases, but we can't stop building our carbon-reduction portfolios now. Wonderful news like this should push us to continuing to find more ways to reduce our carbon footprint, as individuals and a nation. Now let's go invest in some renewable energy projects!
U.S. Carbon Emissions Lowest in 20 Years
Just when we were about to succumb to the gloomy picture that is global climate change, a ray of hope breaks through the clouds. A technical report released this month by the U.S. Energy Information Agency calculated that energy related U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, which account for about 98 percent of total CO2 emissions, for the first four months of 2012 decreased to around 1992 levels.
The dramatic decrease is attributed to a switch from dirtier burning coal to cleaner natural gas. Almost everyone in the energy and environmental industries believes the shift could have major long-term implications for U.S. energy policy.
Scientists didn't predict the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. falling to its lowest level in 20 years in part because the decrease is not attributed to legislation limiting greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The switch to natural gas was driven by the market.
The state of the economy, increasing efforts for energy efficiency and a growing utilization of renewable energy are certainly aspects that contribute to lowering U.S. carbon emissions. However, at the moment, the lion's share is due to the current low price of natural gas. There has been an upsurge in shale gas drilling in the northeast, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, which has made natural gas more affordable than coal per unit of energy generated. Gas production is on the increase because of the modernization of the process of hydraulic fracturing, also called fracking, where highly pressurized water, sand and chemicals are inserted to fracture shale rock which releases natural gas.
While natural gas is a cleaner-burning energy source than coal, it is not emission-free. There is still some carbon dioxide emitted and drilling can have environmental impacts such as contamination of ground water, air quality risks, migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the surface, and surface contamination from spills and flowback.
There are also concerns that the rise in use of natural gas could stall renewable energy efforts. The ultimate goal should still be a mix of increasing energy efficiency and clean energy with the balance kept to a minimum of natural gas.
So the upshot is that the U.S. energy picture is far from perfect, but the news concerning a drastic decline in U.S. carbon dioxide levels is welcome and positive because it reminds us that there is still time to turn around the fate of the planet's climate.
Are We Close to Finding a Politically Viable Way to Deal with Climate Change?
Last month it was revealed that a diverse group of stakeholders with political ties that cover the entire spectrum from left to right have been holding secret meetings about climate change with the support of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think-tank based in Washington D.C.
Climate change is an unavoidably, politically charged issue. These meetings are an attempt to discover ways to approach global warming in a politically viable manner. The July 2012 meeting was the fifth of such meetings, which are held secretly and speakers not revealed in order to facilitate true brainstorming, an open discussion where all sides could offer solutions without fear of reprisal.
The agenda for the most recent meeting, which was leaked online, was titled, "Price Carbon Campaign / Lame Duck Initiative: A Carbon Pollution Tax in Fiscal and Tax Reform". However, participants claim putting a price on carbon emissions was not the only item of discussion, and neither was focus limited to the short-term.
Proponents of a carbon tax put it forward as a less complex method to begin pricing carbon emissions than cap-and-trade. Legislation for cap-and-trade collapsed in 2010 in the nation's capital and preceded these meetings.
At the moment tax increases, carbon or otherwise, are unlikely to get off the ground, but the long-term view is that taxing CO2 could win support over taxing income. Furthermore, there is potential to use a carbon tax to tackle both global warming and the deficit.
So the question as to whether we can deal with climate change in a politically viable manner is still unanswered, but the future is looking brighter with the news that open discussions are occurring among bipartisan groups.
Climate Change Effects: The Power to Ruin Our Children's Futures
More than a couple of our past blog posts have covered how increasingly extreme weather is the product of climate change. However, have you stopped to ask yourself what that really means? How will climate change affect us and future generations? What things that we currently enjoy will be unavailable to our children?
A recent article covers some things that global warming is likely to ruin for our kids; things such as coffee, chocolate, strawberries. And the list isn't limited to agricultural food items. Say goodbye to blazing fast Wi-Fi. Also your favorite vacation spot or even your home may be underwater in a few, short decades time. The country you live in may disappear. The article has some shocking images of Greenland melting away.
So what's it going to take to help preserve the Earth as we know it? Global carbon emissions need to be reduced 80% by 2050. The U.S. has already pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by approximately 17%. Eventually legislation will be enacted increasing the goal to a 30% reduction in 2025 and a 42% reduction in 2030, with the ultimate goal of reducing emissions 83% by 2050.
Do your part in reducing carbon emissions and getting us closer to meeting the goals outlined above. Start by switching your Internet browser to www.envirosearch.org. Your regular, daily Internet search activities will begin contributing to renewable energy, reforestation, and energy efficiency projects. Then go to www.carbonfund.org for ideas on how to reduce your carbon footprint and offset carbon emissions. By working together, and each doing our part, we can change the fate of the planet.
Climate Change Unimportant Issue to Generation X
A recently published study out of the University of Michigan examined Generation X's views on climate change and found them to be largely unconcerned with the issue.
The Longitudinal Study of American Youth (LSAY) releases a quarterly research report and has followed the same 4,000 people for 25 years. Originally, in 1987, 5,900 students were selected from a national sample of 7th and 10th graders in 50 U.S. public school systems.
Generation X now comprises 32-52 year olds who are the most well-educated and scientifically savvy generation in U.S. history. However, the LSAY shows dwindling interest in climate change as it is a complex and long-term issue. The study compared responses from 2009 and 2011 and found that a scant two percent of those aged 37 to 40 follow climate change "very closely". This was a 50 percent drop from 2009 results. Over half said they follow climate change "not closely." More than 40 percent say they have only a "moderate concern" about global warming.
The most disturbing part of the report points to a disregard for future generations. Most do not see climate change as an immediate problem that requires their attention to address. A large percentage, 66 percent, said they aren't sure that global warming is happening. About 10 percent even outright deny global warming is actually happening.
Why is Generation X disengaged, disinterested, or even openly disbelieving regarding climate change? The answer is as multifaceted as global warming itself. Disinterest in climate change is surely due in part to a massive and unprecedented disinformation campaign by oil and gas interests and conservative media outlets spanning more than a decade, even as the overwhelming scientific record points squarely to climate change. Some experts theorize issue fatigue may be the cause when a problem is long-standing. Others point to the complexity in understanding the underlying causes and potential solutions for climate change as a barrier to engagement with the issue. Still another potential answer is the distraction by other timely public policy issues. For example, interest in the economy experienced an upsurge following the Great Recession that began in 2008 to the detriment of environmental issues.
Whatever the reason, there is something every person in all generations can do to help save our planet. One easy and fast way to protect the environment is to switch your Internet browser to www.envirosearch.org. You'll be contributing to renewable energy, reforestation, and energy efficiency projects through you regular, daily Internet search activities. Another simple step is to use an emissions calculator to determine your personal contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Then reduce your carbon footprint, plant a tree, or offset your carbon emissions.

Episode Plot
After a long time coming Ash and co. finally arrive at Driftveil City. Ash heads to the Gym and meets Clay, the Driftveil Gym Leader.

Well that's good.
Need Melvin to step up big.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Sweet, just what this team needs.
Well I guess that answers the question on whether Edge will get his starting slot back...
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Oi vey, this season just keeps on getting worse. I hope it's nothing school related, like skipping class.
//Insert ISU groin kick photo//
Can we get a line for the next game before it changes? If we are gonna get worked I may as well earn a few credits.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.
It sucks, but at least Hoiberg seems as though he's not afraid to suspend the players if they mess up. He's proving that he's going to run the team and not the players.

Just my thought. Wow, when it rains it pours.
Must have been bad to miss 3 games when we are this short handed and he just really started playing very well.
Time for Railey to step up.
and I'm all out of gum.
figured it was about that time in the season for an Iowa State suspension or departure...

It's things like this that make me wonder if Fred's going to last long in college coaching.

Will Santa's sleigh be late?
A record number of Americans ordered holiday gifts online after retailers flooded their inboxes with offers of extra discounts, free shipping and easy returns.
But a storm bringing snow to much of the Midwest on Thursday -- the heaviest shipping day of the year -- could mean that some packages might not make it under the tree in time for Christmas.
No major disruptions have been reported so far. Wal-Mart said no orders have been delayed. GSI Commerce, which handles online shipping for 70 retailers, said it is monitoring the situation hour-by-hour. So far, deliveries are on time.
Still, the storm's timing couldn't be worse for the world's largest package delivery company, UPS. Before the storm shut down service in some areas, it expected to move 28 million packages on Thursday, nearly double an average day.

i agree. being right in the middle of the xmas period does the game,the players and the fans no favours. play it in january and use it as a pre season friendly.
My view is, that this game should be played the 1st weekend after new year, why have a game on boxing day? the lads cant enjoy their xmas day with their families if they have to play on boxing day

I remember when .............................
"It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

read my post again clearly say boxing day is not ideal but town dont want that or the 30 th as they say they cant raise a team
Pray tell o wise one what are your sources of information? On here and on the havenfans forum you lot seem to have a lot to say, i think you have your knickers twisted, chinese whispers started by lot, fanned by you lot, and than believed by you lot, if either club cannot for any reason play on a certain day then so what, maybe you should get at your own directors for arranging pointless friendly games before the issue of playing a game in the memory of a great player,after all if town suggest a date but your mob have already got something else to do then who's fault is that? Pot and kettle come to mind when you go on about it, may i suggest you stick what you do, and let directors direct as the clue is in there title. Tadje

Tim Bracken, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Local singer-songwriter Laura Tsaggaris has been performing across the country for more than 10 years, and she is now poised to push into the mainstream with her new album "Everyman."
Released Jan. 22, the album is Tsaggaris' most polished effort to date. The songs lean mostly toward alt-country, but there are also many hallmarks of pop and rock embedded throughout the collection.
Producer Jamie Candiloro's arrangements sit perfectly behind the singer's powerful vocals.
Candiloro, who also plays drums and bass on the album, procured some serious talent to round out the sound of "Everyman," including pedal steel guitarist Marty Rifkin and instrumentalist Doug Pettibone.
Alt-country legend Ryan Adams also makes an appearance.
"Jamie is friends with Ryan," Tsaggaris says. "He stopped by while we were working and liked some of what he heard."
Adams ended up singing backup vocals on two songs including the album's strong opening track "Dig."
Other standout tracks include the infectious pop gem "I Am Not in Control," the soul-influenced "Seized" and the ballad "Finish What You Started."
Each musical turn that "Everyman" takes is a pleasant surprise. Tsaggaris handily tackles the tasks of crooning, belting out and everything in between – all to great effect.
The musicians on the album exhibit the fine art of restraint – playing only what is required to elevate the song's impact.
"We focused a lot on playing live together," Tsaggaris explains. "I think that really came through in the songs, as far as having that organic feel."
An album release concert is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 2 at The Hamilton in the District.
The concert will feature several guest performers, including local troubadour Justin Jones.
"I'm really excited," Tsaggaris says. "I've put a lot of work into this album, so I really just want it to be a celebration."
Considering the caliber of Tsaggaris' songs and the loyalty of her growing fan base, her efforts are likely to be celebrated for years to come.
Listen to the entire album below:

The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) yesterday released the results of Form Six national examinations held this year which show an improved performance in the number of students who passed the exams.
Announcing the results in Dar es Salaam yesterday, NECTA Executive Secretary Dr Joyce Ndalichako said a total of 46,499 candidates, equivalent to 87.58 percent of all students who sat for the examinations have passed.
Of those who passed, she said, 16,033 are girls while 30,466 are boys.
She said last year the candidates who passed the examination were 49,653 which was equivalent to 87.24 percent.
According to Dr Ndalichako, at least 40,635 school candidates, an equivalent to 92. 27 percent, who sat for the examinations have passed compared to last year whereby only 40,960 candidates, equivalent to 92.03, passed their exams.
Private candidates who passed the exams are 5,864, equivalent to 64.75 percent, 3958 of whom are boys and 1,906 are girls.
She said 35,000 candidates, equivalent to 79.48 per cent, scored Division I, II and III, whereby 12,151, equivalent to 79.41 percent are girls, while 22,849, equivalent to 79.51 percent are boys.
She further said that students performed well than last year in history, Kiswahili, English, Physics, Biology, Advanced Mathematics, Commerce and Accountancy, while performances in Chemistry, Basic Applied Mathematics, Economics and General studies have dropped.
She announced the best ten schools in the category of schools with more than 30 students as Marian Girls, Feza Boys, Kisimiri, Kibaha, Ilboru, Mzumbe, Msalato, Tabora Boys, St Mary's, Mazinde Juu and Consolata Seminary.
According to Dr Ndalichako, the best ten schools in the category of schools with less than 30 students are Uru Seminary, Iwawa, Maua Seminary, Harrison Uwata, Beroya, Palloti, Lutengano, Makita, Mwanga and Visitation Girls'.
Along with that, she named the best five candidates in science subjects with their schools in brackets as Faith Assenga (Marian Girls), Zawadi Mdoe (Feza Boys), Belnadino Mgimba (Minaki) Jamal Juma (Feza Boys) and Imaculate Mosha (Marian Girls)
Meanwhile, NECTA is withholding examinations results for 51 students who are yet to pay examination fees and has promised to release them once they had paid.
The council also has cancelled the examination results of three school candidates and three private ones due to cheating.
Necta however has reduced the number of years for the punishment meted to students who commit examinations offences from three to one for them to re-sit the exams.
Dr Ndalichako said that the new punishment will be applicable to 2011 Form Four students whose results were cancelled and 2012 Form Six students involved in similar offences.
"We decided to reduce the punishment duration after the students apologised to NECTA after they have recognised the impacts which may occur due to cheating," she said.
Dr Ndalichako however called upon all education stakeholders to cooperate with Necta to check examination cheating because the act held back the government efforts of providing quality education.
She added that Necta will continue to take stringent measures against candidates who will be involved in examination cheating because the act was unacceptable.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

Animal Control officers are looking for the owner of a dog after it bit a woman at an off-leash dog park two weeks ago.
It happened at the Greenville off-leash dog park on River Road March 16th around 3:45 p.m. The woman told officers that after her dog became involved in a fight with another dog she was bitten on the end of her finger as she tried to separate the two.
The owner of the other dog got his pet and left the park.
Animal Control says no charges are being filed, they only want to make contact with the owner to make sure his dog is current on its rabies shots and finish their investigation.
Public safety cameras recorded the man and his two dogs. If you know who the man is you're urged to contact Animal Control at 252-329-4388.

Public Input: Deepwater Horizon Accident Early Restoration Plan
Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment
Call for Public Input on Early Restoration of the Gulf
Sixty-day public comment period for Draft Phase I Early Restoration Plan
The Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Trustees (Trustees) has released the Deepwater Horizon Draft Phase I Early Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (DERP/EA) for formal public comment. It is the first in an anticipated series of plans to begin restoration of the Gulf of Mexico to compensate for natural resource injuries, including the loss of human use of Gulf resources, from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
The DERP/EA describes the initial projects proposed to receive funding from the $1 billion Early Restoration agreement announced by the Trustees and BP on April 21, 2011, called the Framework Agreement. The Trustees will hold 12 public meetings in January and February 2012 throughout Gulf Coast communities and in Washington, D.C. to solicit formal public comment on the DERP/EA. You can comment on the plan online or at one of the public meetings. The comment period closes on February 14, 2012, at 11:59 PM Mountain Time.
"Public feedback is of the utmost importance, and we encourage people to submit comments and attend the upcoming public meetings," said Cooper Shattuck, chair of the Trustee Council Executive Committee, speaking on behalf of the Trustees. "This is the first step in beginning restoration of injuries caused by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. While continuing to accept project ideas, we
will move forward with additional phases of Early Restoration until the entire $1 billion is committed to Gulf Coast restoration."
The DERP/EA describes eight proposed projects for the initial round of Early Restoration, two each in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. These projects reflect the ideas and input received by the Trustees through project solicitation and outreach efforts. The proposed projects include shoreline marsh creation, coastal dune habitat restoration, nearshore artificial reef creation, oyster cultch restoration and construction of boat ramp facilities. The total estimated cost of the proposed initial suite of projects is more than $57 million.
Also, see the NOAA Press Release.
For Immediate Release: December 14, 2011.
