As real estate continues to recover, there is one essential question we must ask ourselves: How much does the consumer really need us? With the increasing popularity of web-based listing portals and virtual brokerage models, along with widespread access to information, what role will organized real estate play in the future of home buying and selling? This topic will be addressed by top brokers and executives from REALTOR.com, MRIS and the Houston Association of REALTORS® during RISMedia's Real Estate CEO Exchange taking place next week at New York City's prestigious Yale Club.
Being held on Thursday, September 6, from 2:45 – 4:00 p.m., this important session—"The Path Forward: The Consumer and Organized Real Estate"—will take an in-depth look at the future of the traditional real estate brokerage model. No business sector sustains itself without remaining relevant to consumers; industry leaders in this session will discuss what it will take for the traditional brokerage model to remain a central part of the real estate transaction into the future.
Moderated by RISMedia President & CEO John Featherston, the session will include insights and strategies from the following industry leaders:
Curt Beardsley, VP, Customer & Industry Development, Move, Inc. and REALTOR.com
David Charron, President & CEO, MRIS
Bob Hale, President & CEO, Houston Association of REALTORS®
Barry S. Redler, Chief Marketing Officer, The Long & Foster® Companies
Kevin Levent, CEO & President, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers
Designed specifically for a select group of broker/owners, brand executives and real estate leaders, RISMedia's Real Estate CEO Exchange is by exclusive invite only.

In movies, no marriage woes are irreconcilable
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — In the movies, there's often no such thing as irreconcilable differences.
Hollywood adheres to many clichis, but one of its more interesting habits is its insistence on reuniting divorced or separated parents. On the big screen, exes are magnetically pulled together, much to the glee of their children.
Going by the movies, one would think most divorces ended in reconciliation. Of course, remarrying an ex-spouse is a rarity. Statistics on it are hard to come by, but nearly half of first marriages in the United States end in divorce, and more than 60 percent of second marriages do.
Yet the movies keep coming, constantly urging the nuclear family back together. This summer (the following will include spoilers), both "Popper's Penguins" and the "Crazy Stupid Love" have featured separated parents again finding romance between themselves.
Such films, though, are seen by some as indulging in an unrealistic and unhealthy fantasy for children. Divorce is difficult enough for kids to accept, the argument goes, without Hollywood promoting remarriage like it was the only truly happy ending for a family.
Speaking about "Mr. Popper's" (a film aimed squarely at children) on "Ebert Presents: At the Movies," Mubi.com film critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky called such plot lines "dangerous." As a child of divorce, he's sensitive to movies that sell a false sense that the marital problems that lead to divorce can be quickly patched up.
"I feel like if you're going to make a film for an audience of children, you have to acknowledge that children are actually fairly smart," says Vishnevetsky. "Playing into these wish-fulfillment fantasies over and over isn't necessarily the best thing. Acknowledging the reality of how things work might be better."
He sees the source of such films as part of Hollywood's nostalgic tendency to reassure us about how things were before, "instead of showing us how change can be a good thing."
It was the philosopher Stanley Cavell who first termed the movie genre "comedies of remarriage." Looking at films of the '30s, he noticed the trend in screwball classics like "His Girl Friday," "The Philadelphia Story" and "The Awful Truth."
But in those films, children are not involved. The closest they come is Mr. Smith, the fox terrier that Irene Dunne and Cary Grant fight over in "The Awful Truth."
The granddaddy of the remarriage film with children is 1961's "The Parent Trap," which has been remade several times, including a 1998 version with a young Lindsay Lohan. In "The Parent Trap," twin daughters conspire to reunite their parents.
"It's not unusual for kids to have fantasies of reconciliation," says Christy Buchanan, professor of psychology at Wake Forest University and co-author of "Adolescents After Divorce." "So to the extent that Hollywood perpetuates the notion that this can happen for kids who are experiencing this type of longing, that could be difficult for families."
In "Mr. Popper's," Jim Carrey plays a real estate developer who has turned cold and overly career-focused. When a shipment of penguins arrives, they help him reconnect to his two children, to nature and to his former self. His wife (Carla Gugino) gradually softens and the two begin formally dating again.
It's remarkably similar in plot to another Carrey film, 1997's "Liar Liar," in which forced honesty restores him (again playing a coldhearted businessman) to his old self and his ex-wife. (Carrey's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," too, was considered by some critics to be a modern example of the 1930s comedy of remarriage.)
Dr. Simon Casey, therapist and author of "Couples in Chaos," believes any such trend might simply be filmmakers working out their own issues.
"It is an unhealthy proposition, but then again, I don't believe that is what motivates Hollywood," says Dr. Casey. "I sometimes wonder if some of these films are the direct result of their unresolved personal experience they put on the screen to create their own escapism."
Often cataclysm brings exes back together. When faced with world destruction, petty squabbles recede and ex-husbands finally shine. They include: "Outbreak" (1995), "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004), "Independence Day" (1996), "2012" (2009) and "War of the Worlds" (2005). In the HBO period melodrama "Mildred Pierce," nominated for a leading 21 Emmys this year, it's domestic upheaval involving a child that leads to remarriage.
"Crazy Stupid Love" is more squarely aimed at adults than "Mr. Poppers," but its journey from separation to divorce is more unlikely. When Steve Carell's character learns that his wife (Julianne Moore) has cheated on him, they split and he starts sleeping all over town. But he, taking inspiration from his young son, eventually realizes his true love for his wife and their reunion seems promising.
"Ultimately we wanted the sense that there's an unbelievable gravity pulling them together, but circumstance is driving them apart," says John Requa, who co-directed the film.
Moore acknowledges "there is a fantasy about giving everything a happy ending," but she believes there's truth to such stories.
"I just had a friend of mine that had separated from her husband, she suddenly had this revelation that she wanted to be with him again," says Moore. "She felt that their family deserved another chance. So I do think that that stuff happens."
And certainly, Hollywood has always been interested in extreme and unlikely tales. Happy marriages are almost as uncommon in movies as rational divorces.
Several stars have remarried their exes. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton tried it in 1975, but it only lasted a year. Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood married a second time in 1972 and remained together until Wood died nine years later. Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson twice married, and twice divorced. Eminem and his wife, Kimberly, married in 1999 and 2006, the second time lasting about three months. Earlier this year, Marie Osmond married her first husband, 26 years after they divorced.
Dr. Robert Epstein, a psychologist and author of parenting guide books, thinks Hollywood's feeding of reconciliation fantasies "does no harm at all."
"Hollywood is about fantasy and happy endings, and the downside of disappointment is more than offset by the uplift of hope," says Dr. Epstein.
There are, of course, numerous authentic movies about divorce and children. Noah Baumbach's semi-autobiographical "The Squid and the Whale" (2005) portrayed the confusion and pain two young boys experience when their parents separate and try daily-alternating custody.
"Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) and "The War of the Roses" (1989) showed the bitterness of divorce. 2009's "It's Complicated" found the comedy in Meryl Streep's late dalliance with a former husband (Alec Baldwin). It's not emotionally hard for the children -- they're mostly grown, and far more level-headed than their parents.
It might be surprising, but "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993) and "The Santa Clause" (1994) are the rare movies that end both optimistically and with acceptance of divorce. In both films, the fathers (Robin Williams, Tim Allen) go to great lengths to stay present in their children's lives after divorce.
In "The Santa Clause," all Santa's son needs to do is shake a snow globe, and his father will swing by in sleigh, ready for a father-son adventure — just so long as he has him back to mom's at a decent hour.

Murcer's career was late to start because he had to serve two years in the military. But when he finally did break into the lineup upon his return in 1969, he started a love affair for all of the New York tri-state area. He was an Oklahoman like Mickey Mantle. He was handsome. And he played center field. What was there not to love?
Murcer's first two years were promising. He didn't hit for a high average (just .259 and .251) but he walked a lot and hit for power. He hit 49 homers combined those first two seasons. Still, his OPS+ for those seasons were 119 and 116 respectively. But he became a superstar in 1971, his third full season. In 1971, Murcer batted .331 and led the league with a .427 on-base percentage. After striking out a hundred times in his first two seasons, he struck out only 60 times in 1971. He had 56 extra base hits and led the league in OPS at .969, good for a commanding 182 OPS+. He came in seventh in MVP voting and had the highest WAR of all position players in the AL that season. My man-crush deepened.
Murcer didn't have quite as good a season in 1972, but he actually finished with a higher WAR. His defense in center was better and he raised his homer total to over thirty for the first time in his career. He led the league in runs scored and total bases that season. It was clear that he wasn't going to be Mickey Mantle. But he was as good as Carlos Beltran early in his career.
Bobby Murcer's overall numbers were down in 1973, but he still hit over .300 and made the All Star team for the third straight year. He hit 22 homers and his OPS was good for a 134 OPS+. He was still one of the elite players in the American League. He became the first Yankee since Mickey Mantle to make $100,000 a year, a symbolic number in those archaic days. He was our star. He was our standard bearer. And then the dream ended. The Yankees announced that they were going to renovate Yankee Stadium and move to Shea Stadium for two seasons starting in the 1974 season.
Shea Stadium broke Bobby Murcer. The dimensions at Shea did not suit Murcer like Yankee Stadium did. Murcer's home run total fell to ten in 1974. He hit only two homers in Shea Stadium all season. Suddenly, Murcer had warning track power. His OPS fell to .710. After compiling 23.9 WAR the previous four seasons, he fell to only 1.1 in 1974. He wasn't even the center fielder anymore. Elliot Maddux took over that position in 1974 and Murcer moved to right. The writing was on the wall.
The Yankees were on the move during those years. George Steinbrenner had purchased the team and he was determined to build a winner. Murcer's production wasn't going to cut it with George and after the 1974 season, Murcer was traded to the San Francisco Giants for Bobby Bonds. Our hearts were completely broken. Bonds was a good player, but he wasn't our guy. Our guy went on to have four decent seasons for the Giants and the Cubs. His power somewhat returned and he hit 50 homers combined in 1976 and 1977, but it wasn't for us. He never made another All Star team. He never led the league in any category again.
Steinbrenner, as was his wont, brought Murcer back for a swan song in 1979. He was there for us after Thurman Munson died in a plane crash. He got us through those days. But he was a broken down, role player by then. He gave us some moments to smile and cheer. But his career that seemed headed to glory before Shea Stadium, fizzled and withered away. Shea Stadium killed our dream and cost us our hero.
There are some things in life you never get over. The fall of Bobby Murcer as a Yankee superstar and his eventual trade were two things that hurt all these years later. He became a beloved figure on the early years of the YES Network. But then cancer took him away permanently. His Yankee glory was not long enough and neither was his life.

Intel Buys McAfee for $7,680,000,000
So here's one we didn't see coming: Intel has just announced the acquisition of McAfee for more than $7.6 billion.
Intel this morning released a statement announcing its acquisition of software security company McAfee at a cost of $48 per share, or $7.68 billion. McAfee, which last year brought in more than $2 billion in revenue, has more than 6,000 employees and will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary, reporting into Intel's Software and Services Group. Intel CEO Paul Otellini said in a statement that the company now ranks security among its top three priorities, along with connectivity and energy-efficient performace.
"With the rapid expansion of growth across a vast array of Internet-connected devices, more and more of the elements of our lives have moved online," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO.
"In the past, energy-efficient performance and connectivity have defined computing requirements. Looking forward, security will join those as a third pillar of what people demand from all computing experiences. "
Renée James, Intel senior vice president and general manager of Software and Services, said the acquisition will lead to breakthroughs in the security market.
"Hardware-enhanced security will lead to breakthroughs in effectively countering the increasingly sophisticated threats of today and tomorrow," said James.
"This acquisition is consistent with our software and services strategy to deliver an outstanding computing experience in fast-growing business areas, especially around the move to wireless mobility."
"McAfee is the next step in this strategy, and the right security partner for us," she added. "Our current work together has impressive prospects, and we look forward to introducing a product from our strategic partnership next year," he added.
Both boards of directors approved the acquisition, which will be complete once it is approved by McAfee shareholders, and the various different regulatory bodies that have to give these kinds of deals the once over.

2mojito_619 , 20 August 2010 01:55But...but...McAfee sucks!
1indran1412 , 20 August 2010 02:18Intel Antivirus 2011 or Intel Internet Security 2011 anyone?
0Silmarunya , 20 August 2010 02:26indran1412Intel Antivirus 2011 or Intel Internet Security 2011 anyone?
If it's based on McAfee, security might be an overstatement. Besides, Intel itself is mainly looking for hardware based security, I think they'll leave McAfee to making antivirus software, possibly under their own name.
0tuc0 , 20 August 2010 04:09McAfee was the worst anti virus and firewall i have ever had, the company isnt worth 1p.
0LePhuronn , 20 August 2010 05:20McAfee used to be good way back when - maybe Intel will build a new one from the ground up and get it right again?
0SevenVirtues , 20 August 2010 07:34This is why:
0mrmad , 20 August 2010 09:57If HW based solutions perform as well as McAfee SW then it is doomed
2rebus_forever , 20 August 2010 19:53all hail the coming of the one company, one business to rule them all, microtel? intelsoft?

We take a look at some of the ways that competitive bodybuilders and cover models showcase definition and get ready for the stage or that all important cover shoot.
Showcase Definition:
1. If you have ever been to a bodybuilding show, one of the first things that you will notice or even smell is the fake tan! The reason for this is that tanned skin showcases definition and also looks better under harsh lights. So if you want to make sure that we can see every inch of those muscles that you have built over the last 7 weeks, try adding some competition tan. Beware though; too much fake tan is never a good look. ;)
2. Load your protein then scale it back to promote a mean muscle sparing fat burn. This type of protein cycle is only recommend for a few days and its essential to take on board extra amino acids to stop your body breaking down muscle tissue. For the next 3 days consume an additional 1.5grams of protein for every pound of body weight and then for the final 3 days cut that protein intake to 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
3. When doing a shoot or going on stage, many of us are looking for an extra cut look. The key to cutting is to draw fluid from outside of your muscle cells and bring it inside to give a full and defined look. Salt encourages the retention of water, so we recommend actively including salt in your diet for the next 4 days. This will encourage your body to actively flush out both salt and water. 2 days before your final pictures cut salt out of your diet all together. Yes that means reading your food labels and making sure that you avoid it all together.
4. That Dry look! Cover models and those who step on stage are often chasing that dry look! Its not something that can be sustained throughout your life but it's a look which can really showcase your muscles. In order to dry out, you have to load and then cut water. This process is done over 3 days. On the first day you need to consume an extra 2 litres of water on top of what you normally drink. So if you drink 2 litres of water, you need to drink 4! This will encourage your body to flush water. Then on day two cut your water intake in half from the previous day. So that's back down to 2 litres of water if we assume that you started on 2. Finally, on your last day (the day of your final images) cut your water intake to no more than a litre. Our warning here is to make sure that you do drink some water on the day of your show or shoot as no water is extreme and dangerous.
5. REST!! That's right, make sure you are getting at least 8 hours of sleep. Your body needs time to repair and rest is crucial for this. If your struggling, try combining zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 to get a deeper sleep!
Remember that non of these tips are to be used over the long term and are specifically used to showcase your muscles to the best of your ability.

"The Holy Father has distinguished himself by his transparent holiness, unswerving faith and fervent prayer. His brilliant intellect, prolific writings, enlightened leadership and tireless service have shown a tenacious fidelity to God and to the Church.

Below-normal temps by 2nd half of the week
Central Maryland could see a few showers and thunderstorms along with 90-degree weather during the next few days as a series of cold fronts approach, and pass through the area. But beyond Wednesday, skies should clear behind the last of the fronts, and our average temperatures will drop just below the long-term averages.
We've seen few below-average days this summer. We enjoyed a couple on the 4th and 5th last week. The days' averages were 1 degree below the long-term norms. But before that we have to go back to July 16 to find another "cooler-than-average" day. For the summer-to-date, since June 1, there have been just 13 days that ended cooler than the long-term averages. We've had just five since July 1.
By Thursday, though, forecasters see the BWI-Marshall Airport high as a mere 84 degrees. And readings should remain in the mid-80s at least through the weekend. The 30-year average high for this time of year in Baltimore is 86 degrees. The beach forecast for the latter half of the week through the weekend looks fabulous.
Any rain we get during the first half of the week will be a bonus. The showers and storms that moved through the region on Sunday were very spotty. We could hear some thunder from the WeatherDeck in Cockeysville, but we never saw a drop. On the other hand, Harford County and points south of Baltimore got a pretty good drink. Here are some totals from the CoCoRaHS Network:
Oxon Hill, PG Co.: 1.22 inches
North Laurel, Howard: 1.02 inches
Havre de Grace, Harford: 0.85 inch
Kingsville, Harford: 0.79 inch
Ellicott City, Howard: 0.49 inch
Baldwin, Baltimore Co.: 0.44 inch
Towson, Baltimore Co.: 0.15 inch
Pasadena, Arundel: 0.12 inch
And, if anybody's wondering, the tropics look quiet again. The National Hurricane Center last night issued its last advisory on the remnants of Tropical Storm Emily. The storm was located 295 miles south southeast of Cape Hatteras and 555 miles west of Bermuda, moving northeast at 17 mph with top sustained winds of just 30 mph.
There were no watches or warnings anywhere for Emily, and no other storms being monitored.

Carbonfund.org Celebrates Thirty-Five Partners Reaching Ten Year Anniversaries of Carbon Emissions Reduction Programs
With the success of COP21 in Paris last December, and the record number of companies and organizations around the world making significant pledges to reduce their carbon emissions, Carbonfund.org is thrilled to celebrate thirty-five of its business partners that have maintained carbon emissions reduction and mitigation programs continuously for the past ten years.
These organizations have shown long-term and consistent leadership in maintaining environmentally responsible business operations. Programs vary from tree-planting campaigns to recognize customers or employees and to celebrate Earth Day, to product shipping or travel and event-related emissions offsets, to full annual operational carbon neutrality.
Our tenth anniversary partners have supported innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, clean air technology and critical forest preservation projects around the world.
Together, these thirty-five organizations have mitigated the negative impact of an astonishing 375 million pounds of greenhouse gases - equivalent to removing 35,810 passenger cars from the roads for a year! In addition, they've planted 10,400 trees in reforestation and tree-planting initiatives around the world, to celebrate Earth Days, customers or employees.
Carbonfund.org's Tenth Anniversary Business Partners include:

"It is both humbling and heartening to see this extensive list of organizations and businesses, of all sizes and in all industries, that have maintained a steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility and supporting the projects and the mission of Carbonfund.org," exclaimed President and Co-Founder Eric Carlson. "With this type of leadership and dedication, these organizations continue to set the standard for others to follow. I am so honored to be able to recognize these long-term partner organizations."
Each of these business partners and organizations is receiving a special Carbonfree® Partner – 10 Years logo, and Carbonfund.org will be planting 100 trees in honor of each tenth anniversary partner to thank them for their long-term partnership.
Watch this space, as we'll be publishing a blog dedicated to each of our ten-year partners, to share more about their leadership in environmental sustainability.
Blum & Poe Goes Green in LA through Arts:Earth Partnership and Carbonfund.org
Faced with industry-wide wastefulness, Blum & Poe, with artist exhibitions in its gallery locations in Los Angeles, Tokyo and New York City, considered how to implement a "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" strategy to bring about a more sustainable workplace. As a response, the gallery has committed to lowering its environmental impact through energy efficiency, recycling programs, waste reduction management, and water conservation.
Through this process, Blum & Poe made a commitment to participate in the Arts:Earth Partnership (AEP), an environmentally sustainable certification and materials resource exchange program specifically developed for the creative sector in Los Angeles. By completing AEP's certification process, Blum & Poe's Los Angeles gallery location has become one of the first green-certified contemporary art galleries in the United States.
In addition to becoming Arts:Earth certified, the LA gallery purchased carbon credits from Carbonfund.org to offset its carbon footprint for business travel and artwork transportation. By making a donation to Carbonfund.org to offset a corresponding quantity of carbon emissions through supporting the carbon dioxide reductions in the Seneca Meadows Landfill Gas-to-Energy project, Blum & Poe neutralized the environmental impact of its unavoidable travel and transportation emissions. The goal is to be carbon neutral by the end of 2015.
In order to achieve the Arts:Earth Partnership certification and advocate positive changes in environmental sustainability, Blum & Poe uses stationery printed on 100 percent post-consumer waste paper, reuses/recycles construction materials, install a weather-based irrigation system for the gallery's drought-tolerant garden and low-flow aerators on all faucets, partner with businesses that use sustainable practices, and spread the word on the importance of these standards.
Blum & Poe will continue beyond the AEP certification process and make strides in its daily operations. The LA gallery invested in solar panels installed on the building's roof, which will reduce energy consumption by 30 percent. AEP's guidelines will be instrumental in transitioning Blum & Poe's gallery locations in New York and Tokyo to operate within the same environmentally sustainable framework.
Blum & Poe is hopeful that other art galleries and art professionals will join in going green. Carbonfund.org applauds these efforts and is pleased to partner with Blum & Poe in their ongoing environmental conservation initiatives.
UUA GA Building a Better Way to Equality and Sustainability
The Unitarian Universalist Association's annual General Assembly meeting strives to address, confirm and take action on the social, economic and environmental issues that matter most to its engaged membership. June's GA meeting in Portland, Oregon certainly accomplished this – on the second day of GA, the US Supreme Court's decision legalizing same-sex marriage was announced, and the GA schedule for the day turned to celebration of this ground-breaking event.
The Portland GA also affirmed the membership's support of the "Black Lives Matter" movement, following the massacre at the bible study group at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. General Assembly members passed an Action of Immediate Witness (AIW) on the final afternoon of GA, urging congregants to "join the fight for racial justice against the harsh racist practices to which many black people are exposed."
This year's GA also reached a milestone in the event's environmental commitments by achieving 100% carbon offsetting of the carbon emissions produced by the five-day event. Each year since 2006, GA attendees have been given the option to make a donation to offset their per-person portion of the event's overall carbon emissions associated with attendee travel, venue and hotel room energy consumption, local transportation, meals, waste management and shipping.
In recent years, GA attendee donations offset about half of the event's total overall carbon emissions, but this year, UUA decided to make a commitment to offset the entire event's carbon emissions. Working with long-time partners sustainable events planner MeetGreen and Carbonfund.org Foundation, UUA's team calculated the GA event's total greenhouse gases then budgeted the donation required to offset the entire 2925.4 metric tonnes – about 6.5 million pounds – of carbon emissions. Carbonfund.org used UUA's carbon offset donation to purchase and permanently retire the total corresponding carbon credits in the US-based Truck Stop Electrification project in order to fully offset UUA GA event emissions. This innovative project provides long-haul truckers with an electricity-powered device to run their cab's heating, cooling and electronics, thus allowing the driver to turn off the engine and avoid idling on diesel fuel during rest and sleep hours, saving millions of pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, improving resting conditions for drivers and air quality while lowering noise levels at truck stops with these installations.
The UUA continues to lead in bulding a better way for its members and their communities, and achieving this important goal of 100% carbon offsets for its General Assembly event marks another milestone in the UUA's commitments to sustainability. Carbonfund.org is honored to partner with UUA and MeetGreen in this important initiative.
Greenwave Foods Celebrates Fifth Year as Carbonfree® Business Partner
The team at Greenwave Foods, which makes "cruncha ma-me" edamame snacks, is driven by a zealous belief in their core values, which focus on ethical business practices, environmental sustainability, and holistic plant-based nutrition. Their core mission is to provide unique snacks that are truly healthy, not just "healthier" versions of junk food.
Freeze-drying and shipping their cruncha ma-me snacks uses energy, so Greenwave Foods reduces its carbon footprint by partnering with Carbonfund.org to purchase carbon credits that fund reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects around the world.
From inception five years ago, Greenwave Foods has maintained a commitment to neutralizing its estimated annual operating emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's third-party validated and verified carbon offset projects. As a Carbonfree® Business Partner since 2011, Greenwave Foods has mitigated over 360,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the greenhouse gases emitted by driving a passenger car almost 400,000 miles.
We're all busy - We are always on the run, so it is often hard to eat fresh vegetables. With cruncha ma-me snacks, we can reach for an all-natural wholesome veggie snack that is nutritious, tastes great and can be eaten anytime, anywhere. Cruncha ma-me edamame snacks provide good sources of protein and fiber and are a tasty alternative to highly-salted chips or sugary candy bars and other unhealthy snacks.
When you reach for cruncha ma-me snacks, you're supporting a company that supports environmental preservation, too. Carbonfund.org thanks Greenwave Foods for five years of partnership in helping to reduce the negative impact of greenhouse gases on our environment.
Kivuto Solutions Marks Fourth Year as a Carbonfree® Business
OTTAWA, Ontario — April 14, 2015 — Kivuto Solutions Inc., the global leader in complex digital distribution, is announcing its continued partnership with the Carbonfund.org Foundation for the fourth year in a row. The partnership signifies Kivuto's commitment to reducing its impact on the environment through both its green distribution solutions and dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while offsetting the rest.
The Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® Partner Program supports third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects in the U.S. and abroad to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Kivuto has chosen to support Reforestation and Forest Preservation projects, which fight climate change by sequestering CO2 emissions from the atmosphere in trees and soil and improve local environmental quality.
"Carbonfund.org commends Kivuto Solutions for their continued leadership in managing their environmental impact, looking for ways to reduce and conserve energy consumption, then neutralizing their remaining annual operating emissions through support of our forest preservation programs," says Eric Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org. "Their long-term commitment to environmental responsibility places Kivuto Solutions at the forefront of its industry for operational sustainability. We're proud to partner with them in these efforts."
For over 15 years, Kivuto has provided a green alternative for product distribution by eliminating the need to create and deliver boxed offers and offering an electronic distribution model that allows for effective and efficient delivery online. Studies have proven that using digital distribution solutions instead of traditional distribution methods can reduce carbon emissions by as much as 83 percent for a single product. And estimates show that the approx. 30 million digital downloads Kivuto enabled for its customers over the past year reduced carbon emissions by approximately 42,000 metric tons. This is a significant savings that Kivuto is truly proud of.
This commitment goes beyond Kivuto's green business model and carbon offsetting initiatives; Kivuto's employees continue to promote green alternatives on a daily basis and implementing company-wide initiatives for a more environmentally friendly workplace. Initiatives include recycling programs, campaigns to clean local communities, reducing waste at company lunches through reusable dishes and more.
For students growing up in the digital age, life, work and school, is interconnected. Learning inside and outside the classroom is connected through the use of tablets, smart phones and other mobile devices ensuring easy access to essential learning resources anywhere, and at any time.
Kivuto is looking forward to continuing its efforts to deliver green solutions, offset carbon emissions, take on new initiatives and become part of a greener community.

Earthbound Expeditions Continues Environmental Commitment Fifth Year Carbonfree
Earthbound Expeditions believes that travel is more than a race to check off sites and monuments; that when done right – and responsibly - travel is perhaps the very best way to learn about different cultures and people without damaging their lands or the environment.
Through Earthbound's proud partnership with Carbonfund.org, Earthbounders are actively reducing their carbon footprint and helping to ensure that the planet's many wonders are preserved for future generations. The Carbonfund.org motto, "reduce what you can; offset what you can't," fits perfectly with Earthbound Expeditions' long established philosophy of supporting locally-owned businesses, promoting education and embracing the concept of "slow" travel.
By using Carbonfund.org's easy-to-use carbon calculator, Earthbound Expeditions is able to determine the size of your carbon footprint for any specific trip. Earthbound then sets aside a portion of the trip proceeds and purchases carbon credits that support renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.
Over its five years as a Carbonfree® Business Partner, Earthbound Expeditions has neutralized over 7 million pounds of greenhouse gases, the same quantity of emissions as sequestered by planting 82,500 tree seedlings and growing them for ten years.
Earthbound is committed to supporting environmental education, community businesses and providing travelers with a one-of-a-kind, authentic travel experience while offsetting guests' carbon footprint. Earthbounders stay in locally owned hotels, utilize the talents of locally trained lecturers, dine in small, family-owned establishments and support projects like the Alamar Organopónico Co-op farm in Cuba and the Greening Project in South Africa. In addition to regularly scheduled trips, Earthbound Expeditions also offers custom, hand-crafted overseas adventures for schools, universities, garden clubs, families and public radio stations.
Travel is often a life-changing experience. When you join Earthbound Expeditions, you can be confident that you are supporting local businesses, workers, schools and communities, while knowing that the carbon emissions generated by your travel are responsibly neutralized through the partnership between Earthbound Expeditions and Carbonfund.org.
Indigenous Designs Weaves in Commitments to Artisan Fair Trade and Eco-Sustainability
Like many of us who've had the opportunity to travel to other countries, Scott Leonard was profoundly affected by his trip to South America back in 1993 where he encountered the priceless beauty of clothes produced by local artisans. The richness of the culture and the amazing knitting techniques prompted him to bring back more than a souvenir to his Northern California home. He returned with a vision to pioneer a new business model. He would invite customers to wear ethically made clothing—fashion that demonstrates a commitment to those who created the designs, as well as to the environment that supports us all.
Together, Scott and co-founder Matt Reynolds have helped form a scalable artisan network through the INDIGENOUS clothing line that reflects a commitment to sustainability, social entrepreneurship and responsible actions by consumers and business alike.
By designing clothes made with organic cotton and natural fibers, Scott and Matt hadn't just made a smart move for the planet; they were making a savvy business decision as well. After all, organic clothes will never go out of fashion. That's because organic clothing supports people and planet, keeping toxins off our bodies and out of our environment.
This year, INDIGENOUS expanded its environmental stewardship by joining the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program. Through Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air projects, INDIGENOUS is able to neutralize its operational emissions while supporting innovations in energy efficiency, renewable energy and forestry preservation projects.
Earlier this spring, INDIGENOUS was recognized for its positive overall social and environmental impact, receiving a "best for the world" scoring in the top 10% among Certified B Corporations.
Scott Leonard and Matt Reynolds, along with their passionate tribe of "style ambassadors" and fair trade artisan partners, strive to transform the often opaque fashion industry into one respected for producing beautiful and trendy clothes through transparent, ethical and eco-friendly methods. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with INDIGENOUS in its effort to lead the fashion industry towards sustainable business practices.
New Retail Channel ClimateStore.com Becomes a Carbonfree® Partner
ClimateStore Inc., located in Boston, MA, officially became a Carbonfree® Partner with CarbonFund.org. The newly launched retail brand has a mission to make it fun and easy for people to reduce their carbon footprint, and launched its on-line brand, climatestore.com, this past Earth Day. The company seeks to close a gap in the retail space, namely, the lack of an easily recognizable retail brand focused entirely on climate change.
ClimateStore hopes to tap into a growing market of climate conscious consumers, and carbon offsets play an important role in its sustainability strategy. To help realize its mission, ClimateStore purchased offsets from a portfolio of reforestation and forest conservation projects to offset emissions from its operations including energy use at its offices, freight and parcel shipping, employee commutes, and business travel. The company also relies on partnerships with like-minded organizations, like Carbonfund.org and 1% for the Planet, to support climate change awareness programs and forest conservation initiatives.
"With the recent release of the latest UN IPCC report and U.S. National Climate Assessment, there can be no doubt this is a critical issue current for future generations. More people are asking what they can do to reduce their carbon impact" says Steven E. Bushnell, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of ClimateStore Inc. "There is a false perception that moving to a lower carbon economy will require giving things up or need extra effort. We take the opposite view; lowering one's carbon footprint should be fun, easy and rewarding as we collectively secure the stable climate we all hope to live in."
The ClimateStore.com website provides summaries of climate science, issues an urgent call for action, suggests plans to reduce personal carbon emissions, and provides products to help people achieve a lower carbon footprint. The company launched with about 250 carbon saving products, including: energy efficient lighting, water saving devices, smart home technology, home décor, laundry items, travel gear and accessories. Each product is evaluated by ClimateStore staff to identify exact how it saves carbon - including the production, use, and disposal phases of the product's lifecycle - and communicate their findings with a simple icon system and detailed product descriptions.
Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson Leads in Construction Defect Resolution and Operational Sustainability
For Colorado residential and commercial property owners faced with construction defect issues, there's a leading law firm that specializes in effective case verdicts and settlements, and that's also a leader in managing its own environmental responsibilities.
Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson, P.C. is one of the leading construction defect litigation law firms in Colorado, representing property owners with construction defect claims against builders, subcontractors, and their insurance companies. The firm takes a unique approach to construction defect cases, developing and implementing several alternative approaches to construction defect claims that often resolve claims without their clients ever stepping foot in a courthouse.
This leadership in creative and effective construction defect case settlement parallels the firm's leadership in its ongoing commitment to maintaining environmentally sustainable business operations.
Six years ago, Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson, P.C. committed to offset 100% of its carbon footprint created by office activities, including electric usage and business car travel, in partnership with Carbonfund.org. Each year, the firm makes a donation to Carbonfund.org to neutralize its annual estimated operational emissions by supporting third-party verified renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects.
To date, the firm's carbon footprint offsets have neutralized almost 1.4 million pounds of greenhouse gases, the same quantity as is sequestered in a year by five acres of US forest lands preserved from conversion to cropland.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with Carbonfund.org," states Doug Benson, Founding Partner. "We hope that our commitment to offset our carbon footprint will serve as an example to other law firms, community associations and their vendors."
Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson in their ongoing efforts to maintain environmentally responsible business operations.

...UPS brought my Nokian Hakkapeliitta W106s today. The weatherman is calling for snow Thursday night and Friday. Prolly not enough to make mounting the Nokians worthwhile, except possibly just to seat the studs.
Anyway, many thanks to those on the forum who have recommended them. They look like a really fine tire. And hell, I wouldn't even have thought they made such a thing had I not read about them here.

Need recommendation for men's pants
Am traveling France to Rome at end of May and beginning of June. Would like recommendations for men's pants.
Have heard that "Convertible" type are a good choice. Cotton or Nylon preferred?
Am traveling France to Rome at end of May and beginning of June. Would like recommendations for men's pants.
Have heard that "Convertible" type are a good choice. Cotton or Nylon preferred?
My favorite traveling pants is from Sam Club, brand is OuterRim -- it has a bunch of zipper or velcro secured pockets. The other is from the Adventure series at REI. Again it has number zipper secure pocket including one that is very cleverly hidden in the pant leg seam. Even I have trouble finding it at times. The REI is 100% nylon and the OuterRim is a 30% cotton blend. I would avoid 100% -- it can be heavy, hot, and very hard to care for.
I have a pair of Columbia and Northface converitble pants - both with extra zippered pockets! They worked great - and are nylon - but these two are a bit heavier feel than many other ones out there (which i liked) but still "lite" compared to cotton and drys fast! Cotton-blend is ok too but remeber dry time. These two were from REI as well - Go chek them out - you'll be glad you did! They are often under Hiking/travel pants section. Also - they are both water-resistant (Dry release wickign too in some cases). Cost is 40-65$ dep on whcih ones you get.
I have a pair of convertible pants (zip off at the knees) that I found at Kohl's department store (one of their house brands, I think). I carry the "legs" in my daypack if I think I'm going to need them. They have about 6 pockets, are made of a blend of synthetic materials, wash easily, and dry quickly. They had an original price of $40, but I got them for less than $20. If you know Kohl's, you know they have sales all the time. Got them last year, but saw them on the rack again this year. Avoid cotton unless you plan to wash and dry at a laundromat. I usually use the hotel sink and these dry overnight.

PUTTALAM: The Puttalam High Court complex built at a cost of
Rs. 24 million was declared open by Justice and Law Reforms Minister
Amarasiri Dodangoda and Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva recently.
Speaking on the occasion Minister Dodangoda said the new courts
complex would help people of Puttalam and surrounding areas to overcome
the inconvenience caused by laws delays.
People of Maha Kumbukkadawala, Anamaduwa, Karuwalagasweewa, Kalpitiya,
Bundalama and Nawagattegama especially who had to travel a long distance
to the Chilaw High Court to get their legal matters attended to, would
have the benefit of getting such matters attended to at their doorstep.
The Ministry hoped to set up new High Courts in six regions before
the end of this year to stabilise law and order and prevent laws delays,
he said.
The Minister who complimented Chief Justice Sarath N Silva for his
efforts to develop the legal sector by travelling the length and breadth
of the country to look into the needs of various courts said he believed
the independence of the judiciary was a prerequisite for ensuring the
rights of the haves and have nots.
The Minister said he never condoned politicians trying to influence
the judiciary in any way.
Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva said as member of the legal sector they
always believed in redeeming the pledges given to the people. The
opening of the Puttalam High Court complex was a fulfilment of one such
Nation Building and Development Deputy Minister D. M. Dassanayake,
Justice and Law Reforms Ministry Secretary Suhada K. Gamlath, Judicial
Services Commission Chairman Chandra Jayatilleke, Puttalam High Court
Judge Diddeniya and District Judge Mrs. Nirosha Fernando were also

I am struggeling with the following comment that I read regarding the de Rham complex:
Define $(d + \delta)_e : C^\infty(\Lambda^e(T^*M)) + C^\infty(\Lambda^o(T^*M))$ where
\begin{equation} \Lambda^e(T^*M) = \oplus_{k} \, \Lambda^{2k}(T^*M), \text{ and } \Lambda^o(T^*M) = \oplus_{k} \, \Lambda^{2k+1}(T^*M) \end{equation} denote the differential forms of even and odd degrees.
Here comes the statement that I don't understand:
$(d + \delta)$ is an elliptic operator since the associated Laplacian $\triangle = (d + \delta)_e^*(d + \delta)_e$ is elliptic since dim$(\Lambda^e)$ = dim$(\Lambda^o)$.
Why can I deduce the ellipticity of $\triangle$ from the fact that the dimensions of these two spaces agree ? Many thanks for any hints !

I've just released version 0.5.6.1 of cwidget, the C++ user
interface library for terminal-based software. Since I've been
working on
aptitude lately, this is a fairly minor release, but it
has one bugfix I really wanted to release: the
cwidget main loop
would spin forever when standard input was closed. Oh, and this
release should compile on all Debian architectures and releases,
although I have a report that the build fails on FreeBSD due to
ncursesw living in a different place than it does on Debian.
[0.5.6.1] * Actually distribute the ikiwiki input files in "make dist". [0.5.6] * ABI change: the SONAME is now libcwidget.so.1. * Add general documentation and information. This is the cwidget Web site, compiled as a local collection of HTML files by IkiWiki. * If stdin is closed, throw a fatal exception from the main loop instead of spinning forever. (Debian bug #451770) * Import some cppunit tests that apply to cwidget. * Add a missing #include <stdarg.h> in ssprintf.cc. (Debian bug #452979) * Add untested support for the mouse wheel if ncurses is compiled with support for mouse button 5.
