20 U.S. Companies Aim to Form Business Ties and Joint Ventures on Mission
WASHINGTON, April 1, 2011 – USDA's Acting Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Michael Scuse will lead 20 U.S. companies on an Agribusiness Trade and Investment Mission April 4-7, 2011, and open the Food and Hotel Indonesia Trade Show in Jakarta, Indonesia, on April 6. Both events support the strategic priorities of President Obama's National Export Initiative (NEI), a program intended to coordinate federal efforts to double U.S. exports by 2014 and create several million new jobs.
"Strong trade will be a key contributor to building a U.S. economy that continues to grow, innovate and out-compete the rest of the world," said Scuse. "As we set in place a framework for a robust future for the American economy, Indonesia will continue to be an important U.S. trade partner. In the past 15 years, agricultural trade between our countries has boomed—more than doubling in value. It is one of Southeast Asia's fastest growing economies with a vibrant business climate and upwardly mobile, expanding middle class, providing opportunities to expand exports of U.S. food and agricultural goods and stimulate investment."
The U.S. companies on the mission are both large and small, representing the full range of food and agricultural products from bulk commodities to consumer-ready food products, as well as wood products, green technology, agricultural equipment suppliers, and transportation and logistics providers. These companies will meet face-to-face with as many as 100 Indonesian producers, importers, buyers, distributors, and investors to develop trade relationships, propose joint activities, and learn best practices for working with one another.
Food and Hotel Indonesia is celebrating its 11th year as one of the premier food, drink, and hospitality trade exhibitions in Southeast Asia, with 20,000 visitors expected. This year's show, endorsed by USDA, features a U.S. pavilion that includes representatives from small and medium-sized food companies and agricultural trade associations. U.S. exhibitors will display a wide variety of agricultural products including eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, snack foods, wine ice cream and more.
A main component of the NEI is to help small- and medium- sized businesses with guidance and assistance on breaking into export markets. Despite recent gains, only 1 percent of U.S. companies export. Yet higher wages, rising populations and an expanding middle class are creating export opportunities for U.S. food and agriculture.
Exports of U.S. farm goods in fiscal year 2011 (Oct. 1, 2010 – Sept. 30, 2011) are projected to surpass previous records by $20 billion. The agricultural trade balance – a balance of U.S. exports versus foreign imports – is also projected to set a record surplus of $47.5 billion in 2011. Moreover, as every $1 billion in farm exports supports roughly 8,400 jobs in the United States, farm exports alone will support more than 1.1 million jobs in 2011.
Indonesia's market-based economy grew by 6.1 percent in 2010 and is expected to grow 5 percent per year through 2014. In 2010, Indonesia bought $2.3 billion worth of U.S. agricultural, fish, and forest products, making it our ninth-largest market.
In November 2010, President Obama and President Yudhoyono launched the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership to broaden, deepen, and elevate the bilateral relationship. Through this Partnership, both countries are looking to expand trade, investment, and commercial relationships, creating tremendous opportunities for economic development and cooperation.

Adaptive responses to hypoxia, including hypoxia-inducible factor signaling, allow the cell to satisfy its basal metabolic demand and avoid death, but these responses can also be deleterious by promoting inflammation, cell dedifferentiation and fibrogenesis. Therefore, targeting hypoxia constitutes a promising therapeutic avenue. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) appeared as a good candidate therapy because its hematopoietic properties could reverse anemia, and its tissue-protective properties could reduce cell death and limit maladaptive cellular responses to hypoxia. Despite experimental evidence on the nephroprotecive properties of rhEPO, recent clinical trials provided evidence that rhEPO was ineffective in preventing delayed graft function after ischemic acute injury but that the normalization of hemoglobin values preserved kidney function deterioration and reduced graft loss. Our aim here is to provide a survey of the rationale for evaluating the administration of rhEPO in the setting of kidney transplantation. We will discuss the intriguing findings that emerged from the clinical trials and the discrepancies between promising experimental results and negative clinical studies, as well as the differences in terms of the benefits and safety profiles of the normalization of hemoglobin values in chronic kidney disease patients and kidney transplant patients.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJune 07, 2007Reviewer: Shannon in MichiganVERY gritty and the flavor is barely decent. It is still in my pantry and I have no desire to eat it. Even my 18 year old son - who eats everything I put down or isn't tied down - hasn't gone back for seconds. I'm trying the "Twist" product next to see if it's more "nutella-y" than this one. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
The jam's are great - especially the cherry YUM!
October 22, 2012Reviewer: Lorraine in TexasThe product is very thin & oily and not a pleasant flavor; very disappointing, especially after reading rave reviews about the taste and thickness. Makes me wonder if there is a problem with my jar? Or problems with the manufacturing quality consistency? I finally added peanut flour to it to make it thick enough to spread and it helped, although I wanted hazelnut flavor, not peanut. Will not order again.

Is Revenge New Tonight, April 11, 2012?
While Revenge is not airing a new episode tonight, we have two pieces of good news.
The first, and most important, is that Revenge returns with the final six episodes of Season 1 next week. So, Wednesday, April 18, expect to watch what will undoubtedly be a dramalicious episode, "Doubt."
Second, whether you're a newcomer or a die-hard fan, take a look back at some of Emily Thorne's most notable takedowns (and maybe get a few more insights into her ultimate plan) with Revenge: From the Beginning at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
Are you excited that Revenge will be back soon?

I still have a couple problems with the latest version.
One is -- when I go to the Nmedia mailchimp widget menu in WordPress -- and click "these forms created *here*" -- I get a 404 message.
Another -- the widget results (form/button) don't look like they did before. The box for inputting the email address is too wide -- doesn't show a frame on the right-hand side frame (so it looks 3-sided).
And the space required for the widget is bigger than it used to be. (Was the phrase "email address" able to be put inside the fill-in box? That would make more room.)
And thanks again for this plugin!

PORTLAND — One noticeable difference since their tough loss to the lowly Orlando Magic on Tuesday has been the presence of LaMarcus Aldridge.
While the thought is that the Portland Trail Blazers have been revitalized by his presence, head coach Terry Stotts feels as though the Blazers' resolve is what has stood out to him most.
"After the Orlando game I think there was more resolve going into the Atlanta game and the Chicago game. I wouldn't necessarily say reinvigorated but our resolve was very good those two games," Stotts said.
After that game, the Blazers coaching staff made the players aware of where they stand.
"We have four teams that are right on our tail. That's why the Orlando game was a game to realize where we are in the standings and the importance of every game," Stotts said.
Trusting Barton and Robinson
Since Aldridge's return, two of the players who found playing time in his absence have continued to do so in second year players Will Barton and Thomas Robinson.
Stotts feels, at least for now, that he has to continue going with what's worked.
"Thomas has played with LA (Aldridge) which is something we hadn't looked at earlier in the season," Stotts said. "I think we have to stay with that. I think Dorell at the four is something we're going to continue to look at. Will with his length, I think he has the ability to create things at both ends of the court."
Stotts stressed that he still wants to see improvement out of Robinson and Barton.
However with Robinson playing alongside a guiding hand in Aldridge and Barton's length, it appears that along with Dorell Wright and Mo Williams they've found a rotation.
That is, at least until Joel Freeland returns from injury.
Different game, similar opponent
As of Sunday, the Blazers have won two straight games and are fresh off a double-digit victory against the stingy and slow-paced Chicago Bulls.
Any misstep could be costly and Stotts has made it clear to the team where they stand. The message hasn't changed on Sunday.
"Every game matters," said Stotts about what he's told his team. "Memphis is a team very much like Chicago where every possession is important like playoff basketball. Our mindset has to be the same that its been the last two games."
Much like the Bulls, the Grizzlies not only defend well but they work very hard to limit their opponents chances to score.
"We have to make sure that every three they take is a big deal and that they're not going to take 110 more of them," said Memphis coach David Joerger. "(It's important) that we restrict the number of possessions and the number of looks that guys get."

Out with the old, in with the new
Winter has been kind to us. I said farewell to the old year drifting under the Bay Bridge in calm and temperate conditions, catching (and releasing) a few fat five-pound rockfish.
Our weather was so unusually mild during the last of 2011 that the water temperatures in parts of the mid-Bay rose three degrees. Judging by the 10-day forecast, into January I can still hold off on winterizing my skiff.
Simple steps to lower your utility bills and ease the pressure on Mother Earth.
Keeping your home warm in the winter, or cool in the summer, requires a lot of energy. Control these costs with an energy-saving programmable thermostat. This thermostat is programmed by time and temp so that your heating or central air-conditioning is on when you want it to be and at the temperature you choose.
And the winners are ...
For 12 years now, we've asked you, dear reader, to weigh in on your favorite things here in Chesapeake Country and determine the Best of the Bay.
By no means a scientific study, this readers poll is more a reflection of your passions. You cast thousands of votes, and after long hours tallying the ballots, intern Rose Anderson had the winners.
Meet the winners and learn their secrets of success
We've saved the best for last.
The Best of the Bay is our last word for 2011. It's the news of the 11th hour of the 12th month.
It's your judgment on who gives you the best value, service and satisfaction for your buck. On where you go for a good time. On what you like to do best in Chesapeake Country.
C'est magnifique
In 1927 a new fad was sweeping the film industry: Talking Pictures. You may have seen one or two if you've been to a movie in the past 84 years.
With the advent of the new technology, an entire industry fell to the wayside. Silent film actors and actresses became the cassette tapes of their times, cast into obscurity seemingly overnight.
Bay Weekly's pick of 2012 wall calendars
In the language of old movies, falling calendar pages symbolized the passing of time. Years could go by in seconds, just as 2011 surely has done. Now December is about to top the pile of the last 11 months. So it's time to choose a new calendar.
Most of us still do that, you know. Or have a calendar chosen for us, as calendars rank high in holiday gifts exchanged among acquaintances.
Finding — and giving — refuge from the storm
The deaf cat, a skinny princess getting on, could not hear her own purrs, nor our learned conversations above her head, at a festive gathering in a lovely house on St. Leonard's Creek beyond Jefferson Patterson Park.
An entertaining investigation heavier on brawn than brains
The master of deduction Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.: Due Date) has been dealing with a lot of loss of late. His romance with Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams: Midnight in Paris) is untenable. He's at a stalemate trying to foil the plans of arch nemesis Dr. Moriarty (Jared Harris: Mad Men). Worst of all, his best mate and sleuthing sidekick Dr. Watson (Jude Law: Hugo) is getting married.
Holmes isn't taking it well.
Feast your eyes on the heavens above
Of the naked-eye planets, Mercury is the most overlooked. That isn't for lack of brightness, as it outshines both Mars and Saturn. Nor is it a result of distance, given that it's closer to us than is Mars. But so near the sun, Mercury never strays far from its blinding glare.

Shazia's Group
Shazia lives in the city of Lahore which is the second largest city in Pakistan. She owns a small house made up of two rooms in an area called Mughalpura and lives in it with her family. She is a mother of two sons and a daughter. Her elder son works in a bakery and her daughter does embroidery work at home.
Her youngest son reads at 10th standard level. Shazia couldn't educate her elder children due to financial constraints, but she wants her youngest son to complete his education and get a good job because now her two kids are helping to support the family financially.
Shazia supports her family by selling clothes. She operates her business from her home. She has a good number of clients and she makes a reasonably good income every month. She buys clothes from different cities such as Faisalabad and Multan for their cheap rates and good designs and sells them to her neighbors in the community.
With the loan amount her husband will buy flour in larger quantities which helps him to make more bread and to increase his selling. Shazia's husband has had this business for the past 20 years and she is hopeful that her husband will be able to successfully uplift his business by making this investment into it.
Note: In this photo, the lady who is raising her hand is Shazia.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

There is yet another delay for a woman accused in the 2005 killing of 9-year-old Christopher Foggs.
Vonzeil Adams' trial was supposed to begin Monday at the Pitt County Courthouse. But it's been continued after Adams' attorney, Davis Sutton, was charged with contempt of court. Court officials said the contempt charge happened after Sutton was arguing with the judge.
The March trial for the 28-year-old Adams ended in a mistrial after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict. Adams is charged with murder, thirteen counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and three counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling for the death of the little boy.
A new court date of July 27th has been set.
Jaoul Raoul Green was sentenced for the fatal shooting in 2006. Four other women face charges in the death of Foggs but have not gone to trial yet.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Jessica McDonald scored in the third minute and North Carolina won its second straight NCAA championship on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Stanford in the Women's College Cup final.
The Tar Heels (23-3-1) earned their 21st national title (20 NCAA, one AIAW) and their sixth NCAA crown since 1999. They recorded their 10th shutout in 11 games, holding the high-scoring Cardinal to nine shots.
Stanford (25-1) failed in its bid to join North Carolina as the only teams to finish a perfect season -- no losses or ties -- with a championship. The Tar Heels have done that four times (1991-93, 2003).
The Cardinal was the nation's second-highest scoring team, with 80 goals this season, but the Tar Heels allowed only two shots on goal and finished their 19th shutout in 27 games.

I should thank the organizers at The Immanent Frame for hosting a forum on Minding the Modern and all respondents for their participation. As expected, the forum has not just yielded considerably divergent appraisals, but has also revealed respondents' often strikingly disparate assumptions about what it means to engage a large-scale intellectual narrative. Clearly, to proffer such a narrative is a risky proposition in an academic environment characterized by ever more minute forms of specialization and by an often proprietary view of the knowledge produced under such conditions. Since restrictions of space make it impossible for me to address each response with the detail that one might wish for, a broader, thematic approach seems the best alternative. Hence my response to the various statements posted at this forum will be divided into three parts: the editors of The Immanent Frame have kindly agreed to publish the first two parts of my response and to create a link to the third.

Where religion comes from and leads usposted by Steven M. Tipton
In seeking to make sense of modernity in the classical tradition of sociology as a field, the body of Robert Bellah's work spans the social sciences and comparative cultural inquiry to embrace the global diversity and coherence of religion as the key to culture across civilizations and epochs within the framework of human evolution. Formally trained as a student of tribal cultures, East Asian civilization, and Islam, Bellah engages the West, and America in particular, as problematic cases that can only be understood in the broadest comparative perspective on human cultural development. This global perspective informs Bellah's conceptions of religion and human evolution as they have deepened and grown over a half century.

Religion in the call centerposted by Brandon Vaidyanathan
When I set out to examine the lifestyle changes of employees working night shifts in India's call centers, I was surprised to discover how outsourcing highlights some of the important tensions between new modes of secularity and new religious modernities emerging around the world.
Post-secular developmentposted by Daromir Rudnyckyj
For most of the second half of the twentieth century development was assumed to be consonant with modernity and its attendant practices: secularism, reason, and science. However, it is increasingly apparent that the secularity of development should no longer be taken for granted. This is visible not only in recent initiatives for "faith-based development," but also in movements that seek to develop faith by emphasizing religious ethics conducive to economic rationality.

Is there a secular body?posted by Charles Hirschkind
Is there a secular body? Or, in somewhat different terms, is there a particular configuration of the human sensorium—of sensibilities, affects, embodied dispositions—specific to secular subjects, and thus constitutive of what we mean by "secular society"? What intrigues me about this question is that, despite its apparent simplicity, the path toward an answer seems not at all clear. For example, are the scholarly sensibilities and the modes of affective attunement that find expression here elements of a secular habitus? What would be indicated by calling such expressive habits "secular"?
Understanding disenchantmentposted by Akeel Bilgrami
Jane Bennett's sympathetic yet critical commentary on my essay "What is Enchantment?" (published in the volume Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age) describes the notion of disenchantment that I present as primarily addressing the theological displacements that emerged with the rise of the new science. Her own work, she says, offers a quite different focus, one of a mood or affect that "circulates between human bodies and the animal, vegetable, and mineral forces they encounter."
I don't doubt that this interesting focus is quite different from mine, though I think it would be wrong to represent my view as being focused on the theological. In my analysis, the theological had only a central genealogical role to play in the process of "disenchantment."
Commentaries on our ageposted by Nancy Levene
Each contributor [to Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age] delivers a reading of Taylor's work, helping to evaluate its significance, critical flaws, and lingering questions. They are companion pieces, then, and work best with a knowledge of the book. Their strength as a whole lies in the seriousness with which they address Taylor's grand narrative and the sprightliness with which they point puzzled readers to related topics and avenues. Does Taylor's book deserve such scrupulous attention? I am inclined to weight this question from the opposite side. Some of the essays in Varieties are so thought-provoking that I feel grateful to Taylor for having occasioned them, even if his own book is rather more exasperating than, as some of his readers would have it, major or magisterial.
Waiting for Godot, who is either late or not coming at allposted by Vincent P. Pecora
I wondered how long it would take DPDF participants to undo what I thought I had carefully assembled in my opening post on "Secularism, secularization, and why the difference matters." Not very long at all, it seems. And so, I will try a response here to Justin Reynolds and Alex Hernandez, both of whom have questioned what I actually mean by saying that "secularization" is a conceptual improvement over "secularism."
After secularization?posted by Justin Reynolds
In their posts, Vincent Pecora and Jonathan Sheehan suggest imagining secularization as an open-ended, ongoing project. Neither doubts that something described as "secular" is worth seeking. Given that a major goal of this DPDF program is to ask what might come "after secularization," I find this a little curious—especially because it's not clear why Pecora and Sheehan think that the term "secularization" is worth reclaiming or conceptually fine-tuning in the first place. What is particularly "secular" about the principles—openness to contingency, falsifiability, treating humans as ends and not means—that Pecora and Sheehan embrace? Do we believe that such principles are alien to religious or theological traditions? If so, why?
No view from nowhereposted by Webb Keane
I'll start with a comment about my own angle of approach. There is of course no view from nowhere, and it is one task of the commentators to point out the blind spots that any perspective inevitably brings with it. As an anthropologist, my aim was not originally to construct a critique of modernity or of Christianity. The book emerged out of a long series of attempts to grapple with the challenges my research in Sumba presented to certain common sense assumptions about persons, materiality, and language. I came to see those assumptions as characteristic products of the liberal and secular world that produced the habits and disciplines within which many of us live, and thanks to which, in part, the book itself was written.
An absence of belief?posted by Danilyn Rutherford
The topic I want to pester Professor Keane about is belief. Christian Moderns uses the missionary encounter on the Indonesian island of Sumba to illuminate the contradictions inherent in the modernist project of "purification," which separates out the materiality of words and objects from their symbolic meaning, and the social entanglements of human subjects from their transcendent souls. Where does belief fit in this picture? On the one hand, the book is all about belief: talk of belief is a key target of Professor Keane's analysis. But belief is missing from the book's toolkit of analytic terms. Professor Keane builds his argument using vocabulary drawn from contemporary linguistic anthropology. His treatment of belief is akin to his treatment of fetishism: he keeps his distance.
Christian modernsposted by Webb Keane
I argue that the moral narrative of modernity is a projection onto chronological time of a view of human moral and pragmatic self-transformation. This narrative, and the concrete projects it entails, runs into certain ubiquitous problems that arise from the material dimensions of human sociality and subjectivity. Protestantism was, historically, one major source of practices and concepts that express and try to control these problems. It was also a force for their circulation well beyond the Protestant, or even the religious, sphere as such.
The philosopher-citizenposted by Charles Taylor
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most prominent philosophers on the global scene of the last half century. His work is of an impressive range and depth. It would be impossible to sum it up in a short essay, but I shall try to single out three facets of his extraordinary achievement which help throw light on his deserved fame and influence.
Hybrid consciousness or purified religionposted by Richard Madsen
Charles Taylor's framework for understanding the advent of a "secular age" in the North Atlantic world offers a useful first draft for understanding the place of religion in Asian modernity. As I have shown in my previous two posts, modern Asian countries have secular states, but, despite efforts of some states to destroy all religion, they still have religious societies. In this post, I will discuss how new cultural conditions of belief give religion a different valence than it had in pre-modern times. Taylor's framework, however, is only a first draft. […]
Naive and reflective faithsposted by Hent de Vries
It was difficult all along to conceive of religion (its ritual practices, mystical unions, or attractions and immersions of any other kind) without at the same time postulating or affirming a distancing—reflective or speculative, in case hypothetico-skeptical—stance vis-à-vis the world and life-world in all its worldly aspects. Religion, throughout the text of Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, meant "engagement" and "disengagement" in theoretical, practical, and, more broadly, existential matters at once. To the very heart of religious belief there belongs not only an affirmation, but also a suspension of belief in the cosmic, social, or subjective matrices and fabrics of which we are made up. Our being-in-the world, qua believers, is, after all, if not exactly other-worldly, not-quite-of-or-out-of-this-world. […]

On one side of the dispute, supporters say EPA carefully constructed the rule with a strong legal foundation, taking into consideration years of precedents affirming the agency's right to regulate greenhouse gases. They say the standards for cutting emissions, or building blocks suggested by EPA, are based on proven methods that the energy industry itself has pursued around the country. On the other side, critics say the scope of the rule is unprecedented and the federal agency is violating states' rights by issuing goals that can't be met without employing "beyond-the-source" methods, like renewable power and energy efficiency programs. They say EPA doesn't have jurisdiction to compel states to comply with the required cuts because it would have to base them on programs that are explicitly the business of state governments.
Lawyers gird for fight against EPA's Clean Power Plan based on states' rights
Study: Nebraska has capacity to export more wind energy
Nebraska has the capacity to build and export more renewable energy generated by wind farms than it does now, according to a study that will be released by the Nebraska Power Review Board Monday. The Nebraska Renewable Energy Export Study, mandated by the passage of LB1115 this past legislative session, said there is significant growth potential for renewable electricity generation in the state, both short- and long-term.
Can a state fill a budget gap with a price on carbon? Wash. may soon know
On Wednesday, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee will unveil a new plan to lower his state's greenhouse gas emissions. And while the Democrat hasn't tipped his hand on whether he'll push for a cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax, Inslee and his administration have dropped several hints about how they'll likely frame the carbon pricing plan as a way to help solve the state's budget deficit. In an era where states have legalized everything from gambling to recreational marijuana as a way to raise budget revenue, Washington's upcoming carbon fight may provide a road map for how state legislatures choose to comply with U.S. EPA's Clean Power Plan. Specifically, whether lawmakers otherwise hostile to the idea of lowering greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy costs may embrace cap-and-trade systems or carbon taxes as a way to fix budget holes or restructure their tax codes.
Op-Ed: A Pacific Coast model for addressing climate change
Our agreement, which established the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy, represents a regionwide commitment to air quality, clean fuels, carbon pricing, and clean-energy jobs. But it also respects that we have different approaches to reaching our shared goals. California's carbon pricing program uses an economywide cap-and-trade system, while British Columbia has a revenue-neutral carbon tax program. Oregon is building on existing programs to set a price on carbon emissions. Washington is developing a carbon market program, including consultations with stakeholders.
Inside Congress's $42B tax-break package
While there are plenty of narrowly-tailored incentives that critics call corporate pork, there are also broader preferences for both businesses and working families. The preferences most derided as corporate pork are often just a small percentage of the overall cost of the tax package. Here's a partial list of some of the 50-plus tax breaks Congress is passing for this year, at a cost of some $42 billion.
Senate passes $1.1T funding bill
The Senate voted 56-40 late Saturday evening to pass a $1.1 trillion spending package that funds most of the government through next September. The vote culminates a week of acrimonious sniping and sends the spending bill to President Obama's desk for a signature.
More investors flock to climate-safe equities
Wall Street traders may jump into and out of any stock to pursue quick profits, but long-term investing predicated on environmental, social and corporate governance concerns is becoming increasingly common, according to a new report from the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, or U.S. SIF. Known collectively by the abbreviations ESG or SRI investing — meaning sustainable, responsible and impacting investing — this strategy has ramped up significantly between 2012 and 2014, with $6.57 trillion of U.S.-domiciled assets at the start of the year now managed using the special criteria.
We're still on a course leading to tragedy,' Kerry tells U.N. delegates
Secretary of State John Kerry today addressed a crowded room of dignitaries, environmental activists and bleary-eyed negotiators gathered in this city to hash out a new international climate change deal and called for urgent action to avoid the most destructive impacts of rising temperatures. Kerry touted to the international community a landmark climate deal with China as well as the Obama administration's power plant rules and the United States' newest target for cutting carbon 26 to 28 percent by 2025. America, he argued, is now leading the global response to climate change, wants to see an ambitious international agreement signed in Paris next year, and is counting on governments to rise above a decadeslong battle over who should take responsibility.
Global group of Catholic bishops call for end to fossil fuels

Found what I think was my 10th wallet/purse this morning. Most of the time it's next to bar parking or the like and more than likely these folks are hammered when they lose it.
Anyway, I get mixed results when I return things. Some people are overjoyed, others treat you like YOU are the one that took it.
This morning I called a number in the purse waking the woman up. I told her where I found it and where I was so come get it. When she arrived at the 7/11 15 minutes later she grabbed it from me and started going through it to make sure everything was still there. So I said, 'Is everything there?'...
YES....................... and she squeals out the lot.

King Faces Bonus, Tax Challenge From 'Stony' Unions
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King will face questions on bonuses and tax policy from a "stony" audience at the Trades Union Congress today, according to the leader of Britain's fifth-biggest labor union.
"We will ask him about the things he doesn't get asked anywhere else: the obscenity of bankers' bonuses, the tax gap," Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union, told reporters at the union umbrella group's annual convention in Manchester, England yesterday.
King's speech, the first to the TUC by a Bank of England governor since 1998, has already prompted train-drivers' union leader Bob Crow to pledge a boycott. King has publicly supported Prime Minister David Cameron's plans to curb the record budget deficit, which will require spending cuts that prompted unions to discuss coordinated strike action and protests.
"My own view is that people should sit politely and listen," Serwotka said. "He will get a stony reaction. He's not the person I would have invited."
The PCSU has more than 300,000 members and is the nation's biggest civil-service trade union, according to its website. Crow, general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, which has 80,000 members across the transport and haulage industries, said on Sept. 12 that King "shouldn't be here."
'Lot of Interest'
In comments published in the program for the TUC convention, King said inflation "is not the problem it was" and that his job is to "protect the public from the banks."
"The role of the Bank of England changed" when it gained independence in 1997, said King, who is due to speak at 11:30 a.m. "It was an apologist for the City. I now see it as serving the nation as a whole."
Data today showed U.K. jobless claims unexpectedly increased in August for the first time in seven months. Claims for unemployment benefits rose by 2,300 to 1.47 million. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 24 economists was for a drop of 3,000.
TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber, who sits on the Bank of England's executive board, said in a Sept. 13 interview on Bloomberg Television that King's visit was attracting "a lot of interest." The TUC has more than six million members.
Coordinated Strikes
Barber came under attack from Serwotka yesterday for not being prepared to organize coordinated strike action. Serwotka said he has agreed a deal on joint action with the one-million strong health and local government union Unison.
"If we wait for Brendan, we may well be waiting until 2015," Serwotka told a meeting of union activists.
Crow told the same meeting he supported the idea of multiple unions taking action on the same day, raising the prospect of a general strike in protest at budget cuts. He proposed a pensioners' sit-in across the M25 motorway that rings London if welfare cuts are announced.
"There shouldn't be a single job cut, there shouldn't be a single penny off public spending," Serwotka said at the meeting, to applause. "We've got to build an alternative economic strategy, but we've got to back it up with industrial action. It has to be about resistance."

Finding a Real Hatchback
Columnist Jonathan Welsh answers readers' questions about automobiles
Q: I see a lot of new "fastback" models (Honda, Acura, BMW) but I don't think any is a true hatchback like the first new car I ever bought, a 1979 Toyota Celica GT Hatchback. Most appear only to have a regular trunk opening, not the hatch where the entire slant-back lifted up. The Celica was a great little car with the 5-speed stick, fold-down rear seat and the hatchback. I could carry a 6-foot ladder without trouble. Does anyone make a real hatchback like that?
—Daniel Fink, Beverly Hills, Calif.
A: There are several small economy cars like the Nissan Versa and Honda Fit with hatchback designs, though I think you are talking about the more-attractive sort of hatch with a long, shallow slope. In that case there are fewer but still enough for an interesting variety.
The first that comes to mind in the Chevrolet Volt, which at first looks like a traditional sedan but has a huge hatch that includes the rear window. The Honda Accord Crosstour and Toyota Prius have similar set-ups. If your budget is big you can add the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo and the Audi A7, which is expected in showrooms later this year.
Q: I recently purchased a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon with low mileage. I know the company must make parts for 10 years, but what about after that? Should I plan on holding it for under 10 years?
—Larry Chiarello, Shrewsbury, N.J.
A: Parts availability is usually not a big problem even after a manufacturer's obligation for parts runs out. Aftermarket suppliers often acquire the tooling and specifications needed to continue making parts for discontinued cars. However, because the Tiburon wasn't an especially big seller, there may not be enough demand to make a good business case for some parts makers.
If you keep the car for 10 years or more I don't think you will be unable to find parts, but there is a chance that finding them could become unreasonably difficult and expensive.
Q: I purchased a 2000 Mazda Miata with 36,000 miles and the master and slave cylinders for the clutch had to be replaced at 56,000 miles. I live in a hilly area and frequently put the cars in neutral and to coast for over three or four total miles out of the 23 mile trip to work. I was careful to wait until the car slowed down to where the engine would be at about only 2000 rpm when I eased back into fifth gear at the end of a long coast. Would this prematurely wear the clutch out on the Miata or do you think the former owner may have worn it out for me?
—Mike Ponzio, Morristown, Tenn.
A: As the owner of a 1995 Miata with its original clutch (only about 70,000 miles) I know that the cars are strongly built and can withstand hard driving. However, some owners misinterpreted Miatas' reputation for toughness as a license to abuse them. I think your car may have been owned by one of them. Of course the problem could just as easily stem from the occasional clutch-burning attempt at drag racing or many years of seemingly benign riding of the clutch pedal.
Q: I have just purchased a new automobile that I drive about three months of the year. The car is stored in a garage in Florida where the ambient temperature can be quite high during the months of April through December when I am away. It is really difficult to get at the battery terminals to disconnect the battery, but there are two "charging posts" under the hood which are relatively easy to access. I would like to use a maintenance charger while I am away. Is this feasible? Can it be left unattended for this period of time safely?
—G. Citron, Wellington, Fla.
A: I recommend using so-called float chargers to keep vehicle batteries fully charged when they are left to sit for long periods. Usually you can use the under-hood terminals for such chargers. But most of the chargers come with extensions that you can attach to the battery even if it is remotely located. Then you can plug it into the charger, which is a little neater than using those sharp-edged, spring-loaded clips to attach to the battery terminals.

Yigal Pat-El, chairman of the Israeli Union of Astronomers, told Army Radio that the meteor was exceptionally large, and that its entry into the atmosphere was not expected.
Nevertheless, he emphasized that this was not an uncommon occurrence.
"Meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere all the time - it's not a rare phenomenon. The meteor was relatively large - most do not weigh a thousandth of a gram, and it seems this meteor would have weighed a few grams," he said.
I'm still pondering Haaretz's "Meteor sighting sparks UFO panic in Israel" headline. What does it say when Israelis, who are have been pounded by rockets over the last few years, go to "little green men" when there's something bright and noisy in the sky?

Air-conditioning is the silver bullet for summer heat, but energy costs make many people reluctant to turn it on, says the CDC, and poorly maintained systems can worsen allergies. But using a less effective window unit or fan could put you at risk of heat-related symptoms, such as the headaches, dizziness, and nausea caused by heat exhaustion. Fortunately, there are many natural ways to cool down without powering up the AC.
It helps to first understand your body's built-in mechanisms for shedding heat, says Harvey Meislin, MD, professor and chairman of the department of emergency medicine at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center: "We divert blood flow from the inner part of the body to the skin, where heat can escape. Then we sweat; as moisture evaporates, it takes that heat away with it."
You can augment that natural process with these smart, simple—and air-clearing—strategies for beating the heat at home.

DH and I disagree on this. And we can't really find a definitive answer online. So- If were having a bonfire that we'll be roasting marshmallows and hotdogs over, is it safe to use pine trees in it? Or does the fact that turpentine comes from pine mean that it will be toxic to eat the food cooked over/in it?
Pine- safe to cook over or not?
I would call the parks dept or the forest service or something. If it's unsafe to cook over pine, they'd know.
I have no idea.
It's safe, but it'll taste nasty. It'll also taste like ass if you use any evergreen, really. Too much resin.
My husband is a carpenter and he says its safe. He also said to remember that most of the firewood you buy at the store is pine as well. I never really paid attention to the wood we grabbed for our fires I just threw sticks in. But I googled the turpentine and its made from the gum of cone-making trees and you distill it to make the turpentine... so even without mr woodman on the couch across from me Id say it was safe.
^^^^ Help us get to Legoland!!
Navy GF since 7-1-13
i've done it.
Actually, twice last week. It was a big week for bonfires and hot dog/marshmallow roasting!
Tater 8/25/05 and�Boo 12/30/08.
The jerk store called, they said they're running out of YOU!
I wouldn't worry about it.
Turpentine oil is made by distilling the gum (not sap) from pine trees. If you swallow that oil, you will suffer turpentine poisoning.
However, you are roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over pine logs, not ingesting turpentine oil, or even distilling gum vapors...
I'm sure if some research department did some testing, they would find that cooking over a pine bonfire would cause cancer if you did it often enough. I think I read some where that even the 'char' from grilling could cause cancer. Hell, if you eat, smoke, or bathe in something often enough, 'it' will probably cause cancer.
So, I think you have to consider a couple of things to decide if this is safe?
1. If roasting over a pine fire could cause cancer or some other bodily harm, how often would you have to do it before you exceeded safe levels?
2. Even if some government agency did do some research and established a 'safe level' of exposure to pine bonfire fumes and roasting, could you trust it? Or should you then be equally as worried about the Pine log industries lobbying influence on that government agency?
3. Finally, no matter where you fall on the 'safe level' of pine fire roasting fumes scale, you still have to worry about the chemicals already present in the hot dogs and marshmallows themselves. I mean, are those things really all that safe to eat anyway?
Since I'm from Maine, (the Pine Tree State), I'm going to say that roasting over a pine bonfire is fine, in moderation. But you should really worry about those hot dogs and marshmallows.
So, AP, did it taste weird?
DH is getting ready to start cutting wood for a NYE bonfire.

I thought it tasted good. No wierd taste at all.
I got the perfect toast on my marshmallow too... mmmm.
Tater 8/25/05 and�Boo 12/30/08.
The jerk store called, they said they're running out of YOU!
The idiot men in my family (DH and sons) stick the marshmallow directly in the fire, pull it out and let it burn and bubble until evenly black, then eat it. WTF?

NEWPORT — An olive ridley sea turtle that was found in distress Monday on an Oregon beach died Wednesday at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport.
The aquarium says an examination showed the turtle suffered internal injuries while tumbling through the surf because it was too cold to swim. An endangered species, olive ridley sea turtles are typically found in tropical waters.
The Fish and Wildlife Service staffers who brought the turtle to the aquarium called her "Furlough."

A few days ago I posted a few suggestions for preparing for the coming apocalypse, however you define 'apocalypse'. One of them was to become debt-free. My reasoning is that having very little, or no, debt places your family in a more secure position for the future, whatever comes. However, my suggestion was met with a bit of criticism.
Mike said, "That said, a statement like this just doesn't make 100% sense. If our economy experiences hyperinflation or a complete meltdown shouldn't I feel a bit like a fool for working my butt off the next six months to pay some credit card companies $2,000 when two years from now I might be able to sell a banana for $2,000 or if the credit card companies no longer even exist?"
Then Sierra Dave chimed in, "I chose having the food, debt be damned. Any argument otherwise is to leave you unprepared."
There were a handful of comments who supported my position. Master Po said, "Don't fall for the idea that debt will disappear if TSHTF in the economy!! Unless our nation literally falls apart into a Mad Max world, I assure you someone somewhere WILL eventually come looking for repayment of that debt. And don't be surprised if the full weight of law and government is behind them!"
And Mary kind of stradles the fence, "Mike makes a point that I have pondered myself. From a stand point of my principles, I couldn't do it, because I believe in making good on what I owe. For me, it's my "word and credibility" that would keep me from taking on debt for tangibles and hoping the credit card companies wouldn't be around to collect. On the other hand, having a small amount of debt that I would still pay off, even if the dollar wasn't worth as much probably wouldn't bother me, after all, it would be the boat we were all in."
So, this Survival Survey asks, "Where do you stand on debt in the face of a coming economic collapse, be it hyperinflation, deflation, whatever? Do you rack up debt buying food and other supplies and not worry about paying off the debt? Do you pay off all debt, except for maybe the mortgage, as quickly as possible? What should you do about debt in today's very uncertain world?"
Mike and Sierra Dave have made some very compelling points, and I'm considering making the minimum payment on that last bit of Visa debt this month! What say you?

"Alice in Wonderland" producer Richard Zanuck never doubted the enduring appeal of Lewis Carroll's fantasy tale, but he was pleasantly surprised at just how well Tim Burton's new take on the material was received by worldwide auds."We always knew we had something special," Zanuck said. "This subject matter is 150 years old and title is known around the globe, so it wasn't a surprise that it was successful but the degree of success was a surprise. No one thought the success would be this big unless they were smoking some weird drug. The nomination is just the perfect ending especially since the movie came out in March."

Joed Viera, Lockport Union-Sun Journal , Associated Press
LOCKPORT, N.Y. — On Dec. 7, 1941, the United States was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor, propelling the country into the second world war. As the "Greatest Generation" continues to age, it's important to keep their stories and heroism alive.
Over the course of several weeks this past November, Lockport Union-Sun & Journal staff photographer Joed Viera spoke with four World War II veterans living in Niagara County. Two of them, Edward Kolek and Stanley Maziarz, are recipients of the French Legion of Honor Chevalier for their bravery and prowess during the war.
After interviewing the veterans, Viera traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this year to research their stories at the National Archives. He used the information to supplement his audio-visual production, "A Call To Arms," which is online at lockportjournal.com
Here are condensed versions of those four veterans' war stories.
— Edward Kolek: Ploiesti was a close call
Retired Lt. Col. Edward Kolek, 92, piloted bombing missions over Europe during World War II. Kolek flew more than the required number of missions and said that he enjoyed his role in the war.
"I just loved combat," he said. "I was prepared both physically and psychologically. Prepared to be shot down every mission."
Kolek's most memorable mission was a bombing run over Ploiesti, Romania, meant to disrupt a major source of oil for Nazi Germany. While on the way to making the run, the B-24 that Kolek was flying was hit by German antiaircraft fire and lost an engine.
"I had to drop down and started losing a bit of altitude and had to drop the nose to maintain flying speed," he said.
Intent on making his bombing run despite the lost engine, Kolek circled around and flew over the targeted area.
"I had a good bombardier, sharp," he said. "I said, 'bombs away.' We hit the target, and just as I said bombs away we got hit and I lost another engine."
Now down two engines, and with the aircraft's controls damaged as well, Kolek had to make it to a friendly airfield. He dropped out of formation, since his plane was at risk of exploding mid-air and posed a danger to the other bombers. Once he finally made it to a friendly base, Kolek had to figure out how to land the plane with the right-side landing gear rendered inoperable by enemy fire.
"I knew on landing ... that the wing would begin to go around and cartwheel and burst into flames," he said. "I kept that wing up as long as I could without losing direction of the flight and we crashed."
Somehow, Kolek was able to keep the plane from cartwheeling and possibly exploding. He and the crew made it out alive.
— Joe Kedron: From Anzio to Normandy
Joe Kedron, 89, lived in Pendleton for 50 years and now lives in Lockport. He joined the Navy in June of 1942, at the age of 17, and needed both parents to sign off as he was too young to join on his own. Kedron served on a landing ship tank and was involved with the D-Day assault on June 6, 1944, as well as several other amphibious landings in Africa and Italy.
Part of Kedron's job in the assault fleet of the Naval Amphibious Forces was to transport troops to the beachheads of Normandy and take the wounded back to the ships.
"It's not like it is in the movies," he said. "We went from beach to beach. We hit Utah Beach. The beach was about 50 miles long. It wasn't short. We put the infantry in and took out the wounded and the prisoners. Things like that."
Kedron, who had three brothers in the war, was also involved in Operation Shingle, an amphibious landing against German troops in Anzio and Nettuno, Italy, starting on Jan. 22, 1944.
