49 U.S. Code § 47101 - Policies
prev | next
(a) General.— It is the policy of the United States—
(2) that aviation facilities be constructed and operated to minimize current and projected noise impact on nearby communities;
(4) that appropriate provisions should be made to make the development and enhancement of cargo hub airports easier;
(5) to encourage the development of intermodal connections on airport property between aeronautical and other transportation modes and systems to serve air transportation passengers and cargo efficiently and effectively and promote economic development;
(6) that airport development projects under this subchapter provide for the protection and enhancement of natural resources and the quality of the environment of the United States;
(7) that airport construction and improvement projects that increase the capacity of facilities to accommodate passenger and cargo traffic be undertaken to the maximum feasible extent so that safety and efficiency increase and delays decrease;
(8) to ensure that nonaviation usage of the navigable airspace be accommodated but not allowed to decrease the safety and capacity of the airspace and airport system;
(9) that artificial restrictions on airport capacity—
(B) should be imposed to alleviate air traffic delays only after other reasonably available and less burdensome alternatives have been tried; and
(10) that special emphasis should be placed on converting appropriate former military air bases to civil use and identifying and improving additional joint-use facilities;
(11) that the airport improvement program should be administered to encourage projects that employ innovative technology (including integrated in-pavement lighting systems for runways and taxiways and other runway and taxiway incursion prevention devices), concepts, and approaches that will promote safety, capacity, and efficiency improvements in the construction of airports and in the air transportation system (including the development and use of innovative concrete and other materials in the construction of airport facilities to minimize initial laydown costs, minimize time out of service, and maximize lifecycle durability) and to encourage and solicit innovative technology proposals and activities in the expenditure of funding pursuant to this subchapter;
(12) that airport fees, rates, and charges must be reasonable and may only be used for purposes not prohibited by this subchapter; and
(13) that airports should be as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at each particular airport and in establishing new fees, rates, and charges, and generating revenues from all sources, airport owners and operators should not seek to create revenue surpluses that exceed the amounts to be used for airport system purposes and for other purposes for which airport revenues may be spent under section 47107 (b)(1) of this title, including reasonable reserves and other funds to facilitate financing and cover contingencies.
(b) National Transportation Policy.—
(1) It is a goal of the United States to develop a national intermodal transportation system that transports passengers and property in an efficient manner. The future economic direction of the United States depends on its ability to confront directly the enormous challenges of the global economy, declining productivity growth, energy vulnerability, air pollution, and the need to rebuild the infrastructure of the United States.
(2) United States leadership in the world economy, the expanding wealth of the United States, the competitiveness of the industry of the United States, the standard of living, and the quality of life are at stake.
(3) A national intermodal transportation system is a coordinated, flexible network of diverse but complementary forms of transportation that transports passengers and property in the most efficient manner. By reducing transportation costs, these intermodal systems will enhance the ability of the industry of the United States to compete in the global marketplace.
(4) All forms of transportation, including aviation and other transportation systems of the future, will be full partners in the effort to reduce energy consumption and air pollution while promoting economic development.
(5) An intermodal transportation system consists of transportation hubs that connect different forms of appropriate transportation and provides users with the most efficient means of transportation and with access to commercial centers, business locations, population centers, and the vast rural areas of the United States, as well as providing links to other forms of transportation and to intercity connections.
(6) Intermodality and flexibility are paramount issues in the process of developing an integrated system that will obtain the optimum yield of United States resources.
(7) The United States transportation infrastructure must be reshaped to provide the economic underpinnings for the United States to compete in the 21st century global economy. The United States can no longer rely on the sheer size of its economy to dominate international economic rivals and must recognize fully that its economy is no longer a separate entity but is part of the global marketplace. The future economic prosperity of the United States depends on its ability to compete in an international marketplace that is teeming with competitors but in which a full one-quarter of the economic activity of the United States takes place.
(8) The United States must make a national commitment to rebuild its infrastructure through development of a national intermodal transportation system. The United States must provide the foundation for its industries to improve productivity and their ability to compete in the global economy with a system that will transport passengers and property in an efficient manner.
(c) Capacity Expansion and Noise Abatement.— It is in the public interest to recognize the effects of airport capacity expansion projects on aircraft noise. Efforts to increase capacity through any means can have an impact on surrounding communities. Noncompatible land uses around airports must be reduced and efforts to mitigate noise must be given a high priority.
(d) Consistency With Air Commerce and Safety Policies.— Each airport and airway program should be carried out consistently with section 40101 (a), (b), (d), and (f) of this title to foster competition, prevent unfair methods of competition in air transportation, maintain essential air transportation, and prevent unjust and discriminatory practices, including as the practices may be applied between categories and classes of aircraft.
(e) Adequacy of Navigation Aids and Airport Facilities.— This subchapter should be carried out to provide adequate navigation aids and airport facilities for places at which scheduled commercial air service is provided. The facilities provided may include—
(f) Maximum Use of Safety Facilities.— This subchapter should be carried out consistently with a comprehensive airspace system plan, giving highest priority to commercial service airports, to maximize the use of safety facilities, including installing, operating, and maintaining, to the extent possible with available money and considering other safety needs—
(4) a precision approach system, a vertical visual guidance system, and a full approach light system for each primary runway;
(g) Intermodal Planning.— To carry out the policy of subsection (a)(5) of this section, the Secretary of Transportation shall take each of the following actions:
(1) Coordination in development of airport plans and programs.— Cooperate with State and local officials in developing airport plans and programs that are based on overall transportation needs. The airport plans and programs shall be developed in coordination with other transportation planning and considering comprehensive long-range land-use plans and overall social, economic, environmental, system performance, and energy conservation objectives. The process of developing airport plans and programs shall be continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive to the degree appropriate to the complexity of the transportation problems.
(2) Goals for airport master and system plans.— Encourage airport sponsors and State and local officials to develop airport master plans and airport system plans that—
(h) Consultation.— To carry out the policy of subsection (a)(6) of this section, the Secretary of Transportation shall consult with the Secretary of the Interior and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency about any project included in a project grant application involving the location of an airport or runway, or a major runway extension, that may have a significant effect on—

38 U.S. Code § 1952 - Optional settlement
prev | next
(a) The Secretary may provide in insurance contracts for optional settlements, to be selected by the insured, whereby such insurance may be made payable either in one sum or in installments for thirty-six months or more. A provision may also be included in such contracts authorizing the beneficiary to elect to receive payment of the insurance in installments for thirty-six months or more, but only if the insured has not exercised the right of election as provided in this subchapter. Even though the insured may have exercised the right of election the beneficiary may elect to receive such insurance in installments spread over a greater period of time than that selected by the insured. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any insurance contract, the beneficiary may, in the case of insurance maturing after September 30, 1981, and for which the insured has not exercised the right of election of the insured as provided in this subchapter, elect to receive payment of the insurance in one sum.
(b) Under such regulations as the Secretary may promulgate, the cash surrender value of any policy of insurance or the proceeds of an endowment contract which matures by reason of completion of the endowment period may be paid to the insured
(1) in equal monthly installments of from thirty-six to two hundred and forty in number, in multiples of twelve; or
(2) as a refund life income in monthly installments payable for such periods certain as may be required in order that the sum of the installments certain, including a last installment of such reduced amount as may be necessary, shall equal the cash value of the contract, less any indebtedness, with such payments continuing throughout the lifetime of the insured. However, all settlements under option
(2) above shall be calculated on the basis of The Annuity Table for 1949. If the option selected requires payment of monthly installments of less than $10, the amount payable shall be paid in such maximum number of monthly installments as are a multiple of twelve as will provide a monthly installment of not less than $10.
(1) Following the death of the insured and in a case not covered by section 1950 of this title—
(A) if the first beneficiary otherwise entitled to payment of the insurance does not make a claim for such payment within two years after the death of the insured, payment may be made to another beneficiary designated by the insured, in the order of precedence as designated by the insured, as if the first beneficiary had predeceased the insured; and
(B) if, within four years after the death of the insured, no claim has been filed by a person designated by the insured as a beneficiary and the Secretary has not received any notice in writing that any such claim will be made, payment may (notwithstanding any other provision of law) be made to such person as may in the judgment of the Secretary be equitably entitled thereto.

Hi everyone (apologies in advance for the long thread)
Its been a couple of days since I last threaded, had a huge week at work and when I got home today I decided to vacuum the entire house pretty much inside and out and got stuck into some of the gardening that I was going to leave for tomorrow (could not help myself) I think I needed a bit of fresh air. Going to be spending the weekend in the garden as 30 more broms have arrived, also cleaning up the nursery first thing tomorrow and tending to my veggie patch later in the arvo, lots of nice yummy things growing at the moment Chinese cabbage, lettuce, silverbeet, celery, capsicum, tomatoes, many herbs and also avocados, lemons and the Bowen Mangos have started to bud.
Thanks everyone for your kind welcome and valuable advice. Pleased to hear the great feedback on my Neo Sam Smith, in the whole 6 months since first purchased its vibrant colour has held strong with no hint of green anywhere in sight and it lives very happily amongst my Vrieseas, I dare not move it because it is doing so well and I love hovering over it in the morning with my cup of tea before heading to work.
Hi Shirley, thanks - yeah I plan to claim back a small portion of the nursery mainly for my smaller Vrieseas to give them a better head start (have a few in there at present), all my mature broms appear to be doing better since I relocated them to the outdoors and the Vrieseas are really thriving in our entertainment area. I do still have my ferns, white and black bat plants, pitcher catchers and various cuttings still occupying the nursery which is great. Oh, and in answer to what size collection everyone has I think I have just clocked over about 300Broms.
Hi Sue thanks - glad to read you liked my brom pics. I will chat with hubby to see if he would like to share a couple of orchid pics with everyone, he has some really nice ones flowering at the moment and the nursery is full of so much beautiful colour and the smells coming from some of them are intoxicating.
Hi Tash thanks - I am still thrilled to bits on the discovery of my first Vriesea pup and even my husband with tickled pink when I showed him, we just did not know what to expect from them and this just gave us hope for all the other Vrieseas we have as we have been madly collecting them without really knowing as much as we would like to about them, but never the less it just feels right so we have not stopped Tash also loved your pic of Jewellery Shop great size and colour, I have a much smaller version thats a couple of months old but Im yet to take a photo. You did a great job with Mounted Till, I brought one from the last Townsville Orchid Show and have it tied to our Mango Tree; it appears to be very happy there.
Hi Bree thanks for the welcome; nice Vriesea White Bands, how great are the prominent marking, the white is just so white amazing. I want to get more of this one because of how much it stands out in the crowd.
Hi Karen thanks for the feedback on my Vriesea pics and Sam Smith. Great pics of all your Neos such wonderful colours.
Hi Ian thanks great pics of all of your Crypthansus, I only have about 4 of these but I do not know what any of their names are because I have either been given them as a gift or picked them up at markets with no tag. They are so unusual looking and the ones I have appear to be doing fine.
H Jen thanks for the welcome loved your Vrieseas (my favourite), how amazing are the colours and leaf markings - unbelievable. I have attached a couple below that are doing really well.
Hi Wendy thanks for the welcome yeah I am really pleased with Neo Sam Smith. Loved all of your pics. Looking forward to seeing your seedling pics.
Hi Nev last but not least thank you so much for warm welcome and wonderful advice, glad to hear Vrieseas are tougher than I thought they were; I will have no choice soon but to move some more of them out into the garden. Nev, I was totally blown away by all of your seedlings WOW your pictures are amazing and I could not believe how strong the little seedlings looked sitting so proud in all the trays they shared. How do you find the time to do everything? You are very dedicated and organised by the looks of things.
Well everyone I better get to bed its 1AM Oops way past my bed time I apologies if I have missed saying hello to anyone Hello or for any bad typos.
Have a great weekend everyone, look forward to chatting soon!

Social psychology: Altruism · Attribution · Attitudes · Conformity · Discrimination · Groups · Interpersonal relations · Obedience · Prejudice · Norms · Perception · Index · Outline
Social exchange theory is a social psychological perspective that explains social change and stability as a process of negotiated exchanges between parties. Social exchange theory posits that all human relationships are formed by the use of a subjective cost-benefit analysis and the comparison of alternatives. For example, when a person perceives the costs of relationship as outweighing the perceived benefits, then the theory predicts that the person will choose to leave the relationship.
The early permutations of Social Exchange Theory stem from Gouldner's (1960) norm of reciprocity, which simply argues that people ought to return benefits given to them in a relationship. Later modifications to this theory focus attention on relational development and maintenance rules (see Murstein et al.) [added by J.P. Boren, 2005]
For social exchange theorists, when the costs and benefits are equal in a relationship, then that relationship is defined as equitable. The notion of equity is a core part of social exchange theory.
Social exchange theory is intimately tied to rational choice theory, and features all of its main assumptions.

The Buffalo is a muscle car and sports sedan which appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V.
3D Universe
The Buffalo in GTA San Andreas appears to be based on the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro, but there are influences from other vehicles. The headlights are circular, similar to a Opel Manta B2 and the third generation Honda Integra. A C-pillar has also been added, bearing a resemblance to a Dodge Daytona. The shape of the taillights looks closer to some third-generation Pontiac Firebird models. The Buffalo also features a ram air hood.
HD Universe
In TBoGT, the Bravado Buffalo is a sports sedan based on the LX Platform Dodge Charger SRT-8. The front fascia and headlight covers bear a subtle similarity to the fifth generation Ford Mustang GT. In GTA IV, the game's rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a consumer model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car. Rather, the vehicle is depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the Federal Investigation Bureau, dubbed the FIB Buffalo.
In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Buffalo features a custom body kit that includes larger exhaust tips, chrome wheels, and ground effects, suggesting that it is based on the Charger's SRT-8 model. Compared to the FIB Buffalo's engine, the civilian Buffalo has a supercharged, high-displacement V8 engine.
The Buffalo makes a return appearance in GTA V. The headlights and front fascia have been updated to more closely resemble the second generation Dodge Charger LX. The sides and fenders are nearly unchanged, with the exception of the front fenders now featuring large air intakes. The rear has also been updated, still resembling the second generation Charger LX, but with design cues and taillights from the Z32 Nissan 300ZX.
3D Universe
In GTA San Andreas, the car is laid out in an FR layout, and sports a high-performance V8 engine that delivers great acceleration and speed, but comes at the cost of high rear end power, which may lead to loss of traction. Despite being a sports car, the Buffalo handles very well off road, making it a spectacular cross-country vehicle.
HD Universe
The Buffalo's performance in TBoGT is very good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its supercharged V8 engine, and is superior to its law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration and an excellent top speed of 201mph (323km/h), mostly due to it being lighter than the FIB Buffalo. While the car is still prone to fishtailing, the car's grip on the road is equally excellent. And, like the Infernus, Banshee, F620, Sultan RS and Bullet GT, the Buffalo burns excess fuel from its exhaust when shifting gears.
Unique Variants
Only found in the mission This Ain't Checkers, Mori's red Buffalo, along with the other 3 cars available, is equipped with Nitrous to help the player win the Triathlon set up by Mori. It is best to only use the nitrous on straightaways, as it provides an enormous amount of speed in a short amount of time, but makes it nearly impossible to take a corner or slow down. A pink canister icon is displayed on the hub next to the mini map during the race. It empties as you use the Nitrous and is refilled as the player drives.
At the start of the mission Bang Bang, the player has the choice between Tony's black Schafter or a unique blue Buffalo. This Buffalo is presumably Evan Moss' car as he is the only person in the apartment other than Tony and this is the only time the Buffalo is seen.
In the game file "carcols.dat" there is a car known, internally, as the "buffal2". It is a faster, more stable Buffalo that is found in Drug Wars as a drug transport. It is aesthetically identical to the Buffalo, but the "buffal2" has quicker acceleration, and the handling is much more firm.
Modifications (GTA San Andreas)
The Buffalo can only be modified at TransFender.
- Car Color 1 ($150)
- 2x Nitrous ($200)
- 10x Nitrous ($1000)
- Import ($820)
- Atomic ($770)
- Ahab ($1000)
- Virtual ($620)
- Access ($1140)
- Off Road Wheel ($1000)
- Mega ($1030)
- Grove ($1230)
- Twist ($1200)
- Wires ($1560)
Hydraulics ($1500)
- Note: The Transfender in Las Venturas charges 20% more except for colors.
- The Buffalo plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Radio X in GTA San Andreas.
- San Juan Sounds in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- In GTA IV, the Buffalo shown in billboards has a large Bravado logo within its grille, unlike the FIB Buffalo or the civilian Buffalo which have a small logo above the grille. Interestingly, the billboard Buffalo also retains the police lights found on the FIB variant.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, if the player takes a Buffalo to a Pay 'n' Spray too many times, it will turn a unique, dark green color. This color will then be permanent, and no amount of subsequent resprays will change it. This is most likely a glitch, as almost every other car in the game will continually cycle through its color palette. The exceptions are the Dukes, the Infernus, the and the PMP 600, which all suffer from the glitch.
- The Buffalo appears in Drug Wars where it is used to escort drugs. These sometimes have unique paintjobs.
- In GTA San Andreas, the Buffalo shares its engine sound with the Alpha.
- The car's name may be a reference to the Ford Taurus. Both names are a reference to cattle (in the Buffalo's case, a type of Bison).
- The Buffalo in TBoGT features the same wheels as the Rebla.
- The Buffalo is featured in GTA V as a civilian vehicle as well as a police vehicle, shown in a screenshot.
GTA San Andreas
- Catalina owns a Buffalo, located beside her hideout in Fern Ridge, Red County, even after she has left for Liberty City with Claude.
- Will spawn at the Xoomer Gas Station in Easter Basin when wanted for export.
- Available for export for $28000 at the Import/Export dock in Easter Basin, San Fierro every Friday after completing all 3 export lists.
- A white Buffalo with a license plate reading "PULASKI" is driven by Eddie Pulaski in the mission High Noon. If the player destroys it during the mission, it respawns when they get the "Mission Passed" notification, undamaged and available to be driven away.
- Sometimes spawns in Juniper Hill, San Fierro.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- If the player is hijacking a boat or helicopter during a Drug War, they will be required to bring it to the docks in Northwood. The Buffalo will be right in front of the player after the ending cutscene.
- Commonly spawns in north Algonquin.
- Henrique will deliver one to the player if called.

Gregory- Another gowen focus unit for the pile. Paired up with EX Fighter Pixy in the same set, he's... not too bad, actually. Brave strike can be used to set his AT to 0 outside of his action, and he gets warrior support too. Of course, in his case, the extra AT may not always be good. A slight bit unwieldy to use, but interesting enough, I guess. 6/10
EX Fighter Pixy- Nice card for focus with Samurai Lady, Litho, Feline Kin Knight, and now Gregory. 7/10
Amethyst Eater- I don't like her. Personally, I might pack one for the initial open, but she doesn't do much damage with her heal attack compared to Ruby Eater. The -1 AGI may be useful, but I wouldn't use more than two for the effect. She's also fugly. 5/10
EX Brahma- Kinda like EX Riza for EN, but with heals. She is ranged though, so she won't interfere with the Verlaat-Orfen-Weiss front line. Probably more useful if you really want EM and have no Prince Verlaat, I guess. Otherwise, there may be better unit choices. 5-6/10
Marchare- 4 AGI, 40 AT, 2 RNG, and soul skill immune. Only 20 HP though, adding her to the list of Assassins that die to Dragon's Breath. Free Iczer attack is nice, and her auto skill can be deadly, especially paired with Mulna. A stiff breeze still murders assassins though. Cute dolly though. 6+2 cuteness/10
EX Fenrir- Ouch. 30 AT and 5 AGI that gets buffed by Black Hound Master. 30 HP, but he heals at night because he's a Lycan. He's got potentially the strongest AT drain in Wild Dogs, which focuses him if he drains AT to 0. That's not hard v. Stuff like Owl Sage or other low AT support units. When he's focused, he double smashes (for free) like vanilla Fenrir, but if an enemy dies, they also lose 1SP next turn. Holy crap. With Fierce, it may be a serious consideration to add a little night-time support to Wild Dog files. 8->9/10
Oeste- Not a Shade-proof Cath, but still a nasty open. +1 and -1 AGI to whoever. Not bad. Then her trait activates with Great Spirits, for her auto-buffing auto. No cem retrieval, which is a pity, but some more support to the EX Mystere spirit file, I guess. 7/10
EX Mermaid Soldier- Attack immune units are trolly. Giant Manta showed that. Mage Soldiers did too. Well, she makes two units attack immune and heals/buffs self if immune to attack as an auto. A decent lvl 3 tank for Falkow, and potential to be irritating. 7/10
Just cursory thoughts. Feel free to drop own thoughts. Haven't examined SS's closely.
This is also somewhat biased, and the ratings are not purely made on power.

His name on a recreation center is no assurance of recognition in St. Paul history
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Who is Jimmy Lee and why is a St. Paul community center named for him? "I never met him or knew who he was," admits Dusty Horton, a Jimmy Lee Center recreation leader. "There's a mural of him on the back side of the old building, in the parking lot, facing the football [field]."
"Unless you knew him, and knew him as it relates to where he was refereeing, people don't have the foggiest idea who he was," says Jim Robinson, a St. Continue Reading →

Tandus Flooring Continues Commitment to Provide Customers CarbonFree® Certified Product Offerings
Bethesda, MD and Dalton, GA (December 3, 2012) – Tandus Flooring, a leading manufacturer of commercial floorcoverings, headquartered in Dalton, GA, has renewed its commitment to offer customers the option to offset the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of its hybrid resilient and modular product lines. This program, offered jointly by Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF International ensures Tandus Flooring has taken a very measured approach to make certain its CarbonFree® Certified product offerings are conducted responsibly through a third-party certification process, producing meaningful results in decreasing the overall level of its GHG emissions.
Tandus Flooring renewed its CarbonFree® product certification, by conducting extensive product Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to determine its products' per unit carbon footprint. Now in its fourth year, Tandus Flooring's Carbonfree Flooring program allows customers the option to purchase their products as carbon neutral.
Working in conjunction with Carbonfund.org and NSF International, third party validated carbon offset credits are purchased to neutralize the greenhouse gases associated with the product's life cycle. Carbon offset credits purchased in the program are 'retired' so that the carbon is essentially eliminated from use. Through the program, Tandus Flooring has provided CarbonFree products to customers, such as, Google, Bank of America, National Life Group, NV Energy, Stanford University, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Vermont.
"Many companies are looking for ways to reduce the climate impact of their products and operations," said Lynn Preston, Technical Environmental Manager, Tandus Flooring. "Tandus Flooring's Carbonfree Flooring program demonstrates our commitment to take action against global warming and provides customers with a convenient, credible means to decrease the environmental impact of their purchase."
Carbonfund.org President Eric Carlson commented, "Providing products that are certified CarbonFree® by Carbonfund.org reflects Tandus Flooring's leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in manufacturing. We are proud to be partners with Tandus Flooring and applaud their environmental leadership."
The CarbonFree® certification label lets companies demonstrate that their products have been carbon offset as well as helps consumers identify carbon neutral products. "The CarbonFree label on Tandus Flooring's products exemplifies the company's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their products," said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF Sustainability.
For nearly half a century, Tandus Flooring has been a pioneer in the research and development of sustainable flooring processes and products while continually advancing business practices to meet the critical environmental challenges facing our industry. Tandus Flooring has employed a multi-faceted approach to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations and products including the reduction of energy, water and solid waste, the increased use of recycled material and renewable energy, along with a continued emphasis on closed loop recycling and post consumer reclamation of its products.
Products included in the Tandus Carbonfree Flooring Program include ethos® Modular, Powerbond® ethos® Cushion, ER3® Modular, Powerbond® ER3® Cushion, Powerbond® Cushion, Medfloor®, Flex-Aire® Cushion Modular, Conserv® Modular.

Is There a Difference Between Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits?
To be fair, this is not a question we commonly receive from donors or those interested in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but when people do ask about the different between carbon offsets and carbon credits, and sometimes carbon dioxide equivalents, it shows an intense interest in the subject and usually a strong commitment to fighting climate change.
Let's start with a carbon credit. A carbon credit is an instrument that represents ownership of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent that can be traded, sold, retired, etc. If a company is regulated under a cap-and-trade system, they most likely have an allowance of credits they can use toward their cap. If they use fewer emissions (credits) than they are allocated, they can trade, sell, hold, or do whatever they like with the credit. If it is sold, it is their allowance of emissions being sold to someone else. (Likewise, if they use more than they have allocated, they must purchase a credit to be in compliance). So a credit becomes tradable, like an offset, because of a very real reduction in emissions, but often times the reduction is from an activity you may not have thought of, like changing a business practice, flying less, turning off equipment at night, and so on.
A carbon offset, on the other hand, is also a very real reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, and results in the generation of a carbon credit, but from a project with clear boundaries, title, project documents and a verification plan. Carbon offsets generate reductions outside the 'four walls' of a company in most cases. Projects like building a wind farm, supporting truck stop electrification projects, planting trees or preserving forests are very common carbon offset projects. These reductions occur outside the companies' four walls but more importantly, outside any regulatory requirement. They are in addition to what is being mandated.
So a carbon offset derived from a third-party certified project usually generates a carbon credit. But a carbon credit need not be from a carbon offset project. Because carbon dioxide is a global impact gas, meaning it does not affect us locally through increased smog or acid rain, both offsets and credits have the exact same reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and have the exact same benefit to the planet in terms of climate change.
We get excited about carbon offsets because they have the opportunity to reduce global climate change at a fraction of the cost than if every entity were forced to reduce their emissions only internally. Imagine how expensive it is for an already state-of-the-art factory to reduce its emissions by 30% versus a dirty coal plant in the Ukraine to reduce a similar amount of emissions by installing upgraded, new equipment. Carbon offsets enable capital to reduce emissions in the most efficient manner possible. Carbon offsets support technology transfer, international development, jobs and exports for developed countries and so forth.
And this is why we ask people to [cue shameless plug] 'reduce what you can and offset what you can't'.

Centennial History of
the Fourteenth Street Christian Reformed Church,
Holland, Michigan, 1902-2000
by Jacob E. Nyenhuis
history of Fourteenth Street Church is an account of the people
who shaped the story of the first English-speaking congregation
of the Christian Reformed Church in Holland. Because of the
elevated position enjoyed by the pastor in the CRC, particularly
in the early decades of the 20th century, it is natural to
think of the history of the church in terms of each pastor's
tenure. But the story of the church is much more than the story
of the fifteen pastors who have served during the past century.
It is first and foremost the story of the members who gather
together each week to worship at the corner of 14th Street
and Central Avenue.
history of this congregation was shaped by the people who banded
together to start a new congregation, but it was repeatedly
reshaped over the years as new members and new pastors came
and old ones left. There are many fascinating stories to be
told about this special group of believers. But at its most
basic level, the key theme of our history is the story of God
working in and through individual believers to accomplish his
purposes. It is a story of grace and glory, of struggle and
victory, of joy and sadness. It is at once a very personal
story of a congregation and, at the same time, a universal
story of faith and hope.
we look forward to our celebration and to the second century
of our congregation's existence, we do so fully aware
that our past is but the prologue to the Lord's plan
for our future. We do not know what the future holds, but we
do know who holds the future. At the 25th Anniversary, an article
in The Banner of July 8, 1927, declared: "Truly, as a
congregation we can say, 'Hitherto hath the Lord helped
us,' and He is still 'Our hope for years to come.'" That
confident assertion is as relevant at our centennial as it
was in 1927. May we always be able to make such a claim, as
long as our Lord tarries. And may we also dare to say, "Maranatha:
Come, Lord Jesus, Come Quickly."

Unrivalled in brilliance, Winsor & Newton's new line of Artists' Acrylics combines a revolutionary transparent binder that eliminates color shift from wet to dry with the highest-quality, maximum-strength pigments to ensure clean, strong colors with wonderful working properties.
Brilliance, defined as the richness, intensity and depth of a color, is possibly the most important quality of an acrylic paint. Consequently, in the development of Artists' Acrylics, Winsor & Newton combined its world-beating color-making experience to ensure an unrivalled brilliance and depth of color in the range. Brilliance does not mean the colors are garish. Rather, it pertains to clarity and purity of color, which should be evident when the color is applied straight from the tube as well as in the thinnest of films. Even the earths, blacks, and whites are clean and not dull.
Only the purest pigments are used in Artists' Acrylics, formulated individually to ensure the the cleanest, brightest, and strongest colors to give a wider choice and better color-mixing capabilities. Each individual formulation uses the maximum amount of pigment possible — without extenders — to produce a brilliant color with the broadest handling properties.
Basic Set of 6 — This set contains six, 60 ml tubes of Artists' Acrylics, including Azo Yellow Medium, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Phthalo Green Blue Shade, Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, and Yellow Ochre.
Intro Set of 6 — This set contains six, 20 ml tubes of Artists' Acrylics, including Azo Yellow Medium, Burnt Sienna, Permanent Allizarin Crimson, Phthalo Green Blue Shade, Titanium White, and Ultramarine Blue.
Painting Set — This set contains eight, 20 ml tubes of Artists' Acrylics, including Azo Yellow Medium, Burnt Sienna, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Mars Black, Naphthol Red Medium, Phthalo Green Blue Shade, Raw Umber and Ultramarine Blue. Also included are a 60 ml tube of Titanium White, a 60 ml tube of Winsor & Newton Acrylic Gloss Medium, a Galeria Round # 2 Brush (long-handled), and a Galeria Flat # 2 Brush (long-handled).
Starter Set of 12 — This set contains 12, 20 ml tubes of Artists' Acrylics, including Azo Yellow Medium, Lemon Yellow, Mars Black, Naphthol Red Light, Olive Green, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Phthalo Blue Red Shade, Phthalo Green Blue Shade, Raw Umber, Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, and Yellow Ochre.
Shipping Note — Due to manufacturer distribution restrictions, Winsor & Newton products cannot be shipped to addresses outside of North America.
™ Winsor & Newton is a trademark. ™ Galeria is a trademark.
Until now acrylic paints have tended to darken in tone as they dry, making color-matching difficult from wet palette to dry canvas. Color shift is due to the binder changing from white to transparent as it dries. As the white emulsion dries within the color and becomes clear, the paint becomes more transparent and therefore darker.
Winsor & Newton's expertise in color-making and resin technology has resulted in a unique binder that is translucent when wet and dries clear — ensuring virtually no shift in color, and colors that remain as brilliant when dry as they are when wet. The result is a range that allows artists to match colors more easily from palette to canvas and see a painting as it will actually look when finished.

Log in
The new documentary from filmmaker Ken Burns (The Central Park Five) is an outrage-inducing expose of the insidious injustice carried out upon five New York City teenagers in 1989. The story begins with the brutal attack of a jogger in Central Park. From there, the police department and prosecutors seek out those that they could label as the perpetrators, not the actual rapist. The evidence would suggest that investigators were neither interested in justice nor the truth about who was responsible for the vicious crime. The city explodes in racist condemnation of the teen suspects with much of the media and political class trying the case in the court of public opinion and tabloid. This is a must-watch film that should be shown in every classroom across this country.

Most people know the Affordable Care Act is coming. But they may still have a lot of questions about how it will improve their health care. And according to some observers, that's especially true for minorities, who already face disparities in accessing health care. A minority health care conference in Portland today was focused on ensuring this population isn't left behind once the Affordable Care Act ramps up next January. Patty Wight reports.
Most of Maine's minority population is in the greater Portland area, which is home to more than 66,000 immigrants and refugees. Getting this population to the doctor can be a challenge, says nurse Jessica Loney, because many don't know how to access health care in this country - "the voiceless, not necessarily having a voice to represent certain communities, even within the health care system," she says.
Even if they make it to the doctor, language and cultural barriers can make the experience confusing and hard to follow. Nelida Berke is a community health outreach worker in Portland. Her job is to help navigate minority patients through their health care, from filling out initial paperwork to making sure they take medication and get to appointments.
"It's a huge impact on the patient's health when they know what to do," she says.
Part of Berke's job in the coming months will be to make sure these minority patients know how to sign up for insurance when enrollment opens in October under the new federal law.
Increasing minorities' access to health care stands to benefit the larger population, says Joe Ditre of Consumers for Affordable Health Care. He says the issues they confront when seeing a doctor, such as understanding their treatment, are magnified versions of the challenges other patients face.
"We're learning so much more just about how to talk to providers and how to understand what they're telling us," he says. "But it couldn't be any more evident than if you don't speak English."
John Auerbach, director of the Institute of Urban Health Research in Massachusetts, says focusing on minorities will also have system-wide benefits.
"We know that if we're trying to control health care costs," he says, "having greater access to preventive care and treatment - early treatment screening - is a way of reducing costs" - and, says Auerbach, of improving overall health outcomes, including life expectancy and infant mortality.
Auerbach has unique insight into the implications of the Affordable Care Act: He's the former public health commissioner of Massachusetts, which instituted health care reforms in 2006 that became a model for the federal law.
"And if what we saw in Massachusetts is the case around the country," Auerbach says, "we'll see a closing of the gap between those people of other races and whites with regard to access to health insurance."
Auerbach says while access will make a significant dent in reducing health inequities, it won't complete the job. The next steps, he says, will be to focus on cost and quality.
