At 4 weeks my DD was still waking up to feed almost every 1-2hrs. I was exhausted and sleep deprived. One dsy I just brought her to bed with me & she slept through. Next day I did that and she slept 4hr stretch before needing to b fed & breastfeeding was so much easier. She's now 8wks & we r still bed sharing although I put her in her crib in our bedroom first around 10pm. When she wakes up around 1am I then put her next to me & she's sound asleep until 5am feed. What do u ladies think about bed sharing? I worry that it might come back to haunt me....or so I have been told
Bed Sharing

Posted 09/09/2013
Thanks ladies I'm so relieved. I have been getting much flack for this. Great to know I'm not alone
Posted 09/09/2013
We are bed sharing and we love it! I do put little one down in his crib at bedtime and for naps so that he will be comfortable there when the time comes. I don't believe in cutting the cord and then making dear little one sleep all alone. What's wrong with both of us getting some good rest while little one also gets nourishment? He won't be a baby forever.
Posted 09/09/2013
I'm also a firm supporter of bed sharing....it only makes sense to keep baby close to you since he's been inside of you for 40wks! LO's sleep better , mommy sleeps better- its a win win. My dh is actually very
supportive of it too.....he loves the cuddles :-)

Angry Birds caught up in Lodsys patent suit
Angry Birds developer Rovio is the latest app developer to be dragged into the Lodsys patent lawsuit, which also makes claims against, among others, gaming giants Electronic Arts, Atari, Square Enix and Take Two. The company filed a suit against seven developers back in May, but has now amended it to include the biggest names in the app world.
The total number of defendants in the suit now totals 11, with one company being omitted (Vietnamese company Wulven Games) in the amendment.
The new complaint claims that each of the company's listed has infringed several of Lodsys' patents related to in-app purchases. And with Angry Birds now included, it has targeted an Android app for the first time - Rovio is accused of infringement on both iOS and Android, the rest on Apple's iOS alone.
Lodsys is a US patent licensing company that acquired the patents of inventions created by Harvard Graduate Dan Abelow back in 2004, and known official licensees include Microsoft, Nokia, Google and Apple. And it is with the latter that there is some confusion.
Some developers believe that, as they have used Apple's developer toolkit to implement their in-app purchasing, any patent dispute should be taken up by the Cupertino firm. However, Apple's iOS Paid Apps Agreement clearly states that developers are directly responsible for "claims that any of the licensed applications and/or the end-user's possession or use of those licensed applications infringes the copyright or other intellectual property rights of any third party".
That said, when the original suit was filed, Apple filed a motion itself to intervene in the proceedings, claiming that its original licensing of the patent extends to third party developers. Lodsys, clearly, disagrees.
Certainly, this has been too much for some European developers, who have decided to withdraw their apps from US iTunes and, even, Android Market. One developer, Simon Maddox (@simonmaddox), tweeted last week: "All my apps removed from US app stores (all platforms). 0.575% of total revenue put in a spare bank account. Screw you, Lodsys."
This is rapidly turning into a patent-battle to watch...

Ozdenoren, E., Stephen Salant, and Daniel Silverman. 2012. "Willpower and the optimal control of visceral urges." Journal of the European Economic Association, 10(2): 342-368.
Common intuition and experimental psychology suggest that the ability to self-regulate (willpower) is a depletable resource. We investigate the behavior of an agent with limited willpower who optimally consumes over time an endowment of a tempting and storable consumption good or cake. We assume that restraining consumption below the most tempting feasible rate requires willpower. Any willpower not used to regulate consumption may be valuable in controlling other urges. Willpower thus links otherwise unrelated behaviors requiring self-control. An agent with limited willpower will display apparent domain-specific time preference. Such an agent will almost never perfectly smooth his consumption, even when it is feasible to do so. Whether the agent relaxes control of his consumption over time as experimental psychologists predict or tightens it as most behavioral theories predict depends in our model on the net effect of two analytically distinct but opposing forces.

Bloody campaign remembered
Relevant offers
The bloody battles of Monte Cassino in 1944 left more than 50,000 Allied soldiers dead, but Timaru's Charlie Kenny survived, and recently returned to Italy to commemorate 70 years since that unforgettable campaign.
The 92-year-old former soldier and radio operator from the 23rd Battalion said the two-week trip enabled him to pay his respects to his fallen comrades and visit the rebuilt basilica. The monastery was destroyed in the war.
Mr Kenny grew up in Winchester and became a territorial soldier at 18. He also started a carpentry and joinery apprenticeship.
"Once a month we had to parade and we got 6 shillings. That's why we joined," he said.
In May 1940 all the territorials had to undertake three months training at Burnham military camp. "It was rugged there was no toilets just holes in the ground in a row and no hot water."
At the end of the strict regime the young men were told to " go and grow up".
After the Japanese started fighting in the Pacific in December 1941 Mr Kenny was called to the First Wellington Regiment and machineguns were set up around the coast as the capital prepared for a potential Japanese invasion.
The following year he was on a ship with 5500 troops heading for Suez. "Though I was trained as a Vickers gunner they couldn't get volunteers for signal school so I got sent for three months training."
He first saw action in Italy and after moving from the Adriatic coast to the Volturno area he recalled divisional second-in-command Howard Kippenberger stepping on a mine on Mt Trocchio, injuring his legs so badly he had to have them amputated.
"He called out to our boys, 'there are mines here men'. Medic Bill Green responded 'F... the mines' and dived in to help patch him up."
After moving closer to Cassino, on March 15, 1944, the soldiers stood and watched until they were ordered to lie down as 500 planes dropped 10,000 tonnes of bombs on Cassino.
"The noise was terrific, no wonder so many went deaf in our battalion."
Though his battalion never got to the monastery much of the time it was a stalemate with major loss of life on both sides. "We hated the monastery. From every angle it was looking down on us and used as a machinegun post."
At one stage there was no communication so Mr Kenny and a couple of others had to make their way at dusk to Cassino station which was being used as army headquarters.
They were under fire from German Spandau machineguns and couldn't get through a hole in the embankment.
A sergeant, corporal and the company commander were killed and one of the battalion's men was missing after the gunfight.
The missing man had taken the full blast of a mortar and "been blown to pieces".
Mr Kenny took a photo of his grave on his recent visit but said he knows he is not actually resting there.
Though the stench of decaying bodies and the filth of human faeces still lingers in his nostrils all these years later, there were some lighter times.
He recalls an advance in Bologna Highway later in the same year and coming across a vermouth factory. Thinking they would get some of the alcohol for Christmas Mr Kenny and a couple of others grabbed what they could.
"The vermouth was 18 inches deep on the floor and a Gurkha went down the sump hole and we had to pull him out."
One of the other soldiers used an umbrella to open a valve to drain some of the precious drink into a container which the men rolled up the main street.
"That night a spy in the square bell tower reported (Lieutenant General Bernard) Freyberg was in a nearby building. So it was bombed but the half that was damaged was not the half he was in. Everyone rushed to the cellar but I couldn't, I was too drunk."
When Mr Kenny attended the recent commemorations he said the crowd stood up and clapped as he and 37 others walked towards their escorted seats.

Orissa govt accepts demands of pro-Posco agitators
Paradip: After work for construction of the
boundary walls and rehabilitation colonies for the Posco
project was stalled for the last six days, the Orissa
government on Friday accepted the demands of the agitators paving
the way for resumption of work.
The pro-Posco United Action Committee (UAC) has been
opposing the work at Jagatsinghpur district in support of its
six-point charter of demands.
"Talks between district officials and UAC members held at
Gadakujanga were cordial. We discussed matters relating to
resumption of work and it was a success," District Collector
Narayan Chandra Jena said.
Jena said the district administration would fulfil all six
demands, but it would take some time as the Revenue Divisional
Commissioner (RDC), Central Division, was busy with the car
festival at Puri.
"The RDC is now busy in organising the car festival of
Lord Jagannath at Puri. Necessary action will be taken after
he is free," Jena said.
"It was agreed to accept their demands. I assured them
that the administration is prepared to give in writing after
RDC level talks," Jena said voicing confidence that the
villagers backing the mega steel project would continue their

Apr 23, 2004 • Review of Pentax Optio 33L
Great camera as a second. I use it as a carry-around. I am amazed at the picture quality and features, especially the manual overrides at this price and class. Only downside is the lack of an optical viewfinder - but thats not too bad.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

Rumors are swirling that Apple will announce the iPad 3 in early March. The Wall Street Journal reported that both AT&T and Verizon will stock 4G LTE-enabled editions. Both carriers sell the iPad 2 with 3G connectivity as well as a Wi-Fi-only edition. According to the Journal, it's unclear if Sprint or T-Mobile will also vend the 4G LTE model. Sprint's 4G LTE network is more limited in the U.S. than that of Verizon and AT&T.
4G connectivity reportedly delivers mobile broadband speeds up to ten times as fast as 3G. When 4G LTE is not available, the iPad will switch to a slower mobile broadband network. On AT&T, that means 4G HSPA+ and 3G mobile broadband. Verizon's would require at least 3G EVDO for back-up support.

2013 Ford Escape
AC / heater Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Ford Escape has been in the news quite a bit and for all the wrong reasons. Within a few months of its release the SUV was recalled three times, twice because of engine fires.
In July 2012, due to a fuel line that could split and leak, Ford told owners to park their cars because even driving to the dealership for repairs was deemed too dangerous. Instead, in a somewhat unprecedented move, Ford sent tow trucks to pick up the affected vehicles and handed out rental cars while the owners waited for repairs.
A few months later the Escape was recalled again because antifreeze could leak out onto the engine due to a freeze plug becoming dislodged. As the coolant hit the hot engine there was, once again, a threat for fire.

Retrofit an old Walkman with an iPod
Longing for those days of the Walkman, but don't want to give up your iPod? A couple of do-it-yourselfers at retropod.com have come up with an offbeat solution - retrofitting an old Sony Sports Walkman to accomodate an iPod inside the cassette compartment. Think of it as retro iPod armor to conceal your precious during subway rides. Retropod sells the orginal Sony Sports Walkman for $100 and the retrofit kit for $20.

Posted by Acookster in Irvine, CA on July 1, 2004 at 2:05 PM (CDT)
Truly awesome, but you can't use the remote with it - that sucks. If I was an urban poser, I'd buy one for sure.
Posted by SlutMonkey in Irvine, CA on July 1, 2004 at 2:30 PM (CDT)
Actually, the hundred bucks gets you the case all fitted up with the cushioning (yeah, I'm the Retropod guy.) Twenty bucks is for the retrofit kit if you already have a Walkman and aren't scared of soldering irons.
Very true about the remote. Only way around that would be to carve a big,fat hole in the top of the Walkman case, which would kinda hurt the waterproofing!
On the plus side, you DO get the double headphone jack on some walkman cases, so you can start your own "yellowjacking" meme.

Posted by todd2fst4u in Irvine, CA on July 1, 2004 at 10:21 PM (CDT)
I think it is an interesting idea. If only to disguise your iPod so you could walk down the street and not worry about someone eyeing your precious… If you could finnd a way to operate the controls form the outside of the Walkman, then it would be perfect.
Posted by Trancedog73 in Irvine, CA on July 1, 2004 at 10:25 PM (CDT)
am i the only one not afraid of people stealing my ipod? sometimes i wish someone would try to steal it so i can beat them down with a fury. dont get me wrong i dont flaunt it at all. on BART (bay area rapid transit) i keep it on my lap and only expose the remote. if anyone dares to rob me of my "precious" look for me and we can have it out.
Posted by Jaguares in Irvine, CA on July 2, 2004 at 12:10 AM (CDT)
This is such an stupid idea. Why would you want to spend $120 (including the kit) for a case that is bigger than the Ipod? The Walkman case is ugly and it's yellow. I hope people are smart enough than to buy this product….

I fell asleep next to my cousin and woke up with my hand in her pants because i though it was lisa
living well may be the best revenge, but it doesn't hurt that my exhusband is now dating a BEAST.
Listen, I'm 30. If it doesnt involve a super soaker and some chicken wings, you can count me out.
Talk about the highs and lows of a night out: had a threesome, then got robbed at knifepoint.
Just got a free shot w my beer...it's not quite 11am yet...I love international travel. These people aren't judgmental.
What goes on in that head of yours?
Gay sex, for the most part. Why?
I forgot if I was chewing my gum or my tongue
Dude. Some drunk chick just put an Aussie hat on me and was screaming at me in German. Her friends had to drag her away. Point being, I now have a cool hat.
You didn't act like you were blacked out yesterday...
I didn't know
Last thing I ever expected to say, "Get your finger out of my ear or I will stop sucking your dick."
Oh yeah, found out i got it from my boyfriend's wife. Thanks though.
We got naked and peed in the garden. Something about bonding with our new house
I'm so lazy and tired i just want to cry and fall asleep in a bed of egg mcmuffins.
I was so drunk that I passed out before I could do or say anything I'd regret. My low alcohol tolerance is like a guardian angel.
Let's drink tonight I promise I'll make it out of the house

India: Tamil Nadu opens tenders07. December 2012 | Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends, Top News | By: Shamsiah Ali-Oettinger
The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) released tender documents this week. While a 1 MW minimum capacity has been set for projects, no upper limit has been identified.
According to the document, the last date for submission of bids is January 4, 2013 up to 2 pm local time. Developers will be chosen via a competitive bidding process.
The southern Indian state seeks to reach 3 GW of capacity within the next three years. It proposes an annual target of 1 GW for 2013 to 2015 to achieve that total. TANGEDCO also proposes to facilitate investors by procuring the energy generated from the plants through a long term PPA up to a total capacity of 1 GW. The PPA will be valid for 20 years.
The bidders who have quoted lower rates will be called for negotiation and a Letter of Intent (LOI) will be issued to all qualified projects. The power plant should be commissioned within 10 months of the date of issuance of the LOI.
The document also states that the plant should be designed for interconnection with the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board grid at a voltage level of 11kV or above.
Bridge to India has an overview of the policies in India here.

CBI files chargesheet against Abhishek Verma
Last Updated: Friday, November 30, 2012 - 12:54
New Delhi: The CBI on Friday filed a chargesheet against Abhishek Verma, an accused in the leakage of naval secrets, and two others including his wife.
Verma is also charged with corruption and forgery.
Verma, his Romanian wife Anca Maria Neacsu and a retired wing commander, Koka Rao, have been named in the chargesheet, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) official said.
The CBI had on June 9 arrested Verma and his wife for allegedly receiving money from a Swiss arms company to stall the blacklisting proceedings initiated against it by the Indian government.
They were booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

For nine minutes on Sunday night, the Celtics played some of their best basketball since the All-Star break. The ball moved crisply from side to side and from player to player. Good shots were passed up for great shots and the defense was humming.
And then the rest of the game happened.
Those nine minutes at the start of the Celtics 85-82 win at Minnesota (click here for a recap) combined with a close-out effort that was good enough but hardly great allowed them to get a much-needed win.
That's the good news. The bad news is that most of the problems that have plagued the Celtics over the last few weeks, particularly an offense that can't get out of its own way, continued to manifest themselves.
To be sure there were some bright spots, such as the play of Delonte West who was subbing for an injured Rajon Rondo and the continued effort of Kevin Garnett who has done more than any other player to break this team out of their slump. Nenad Krstic even got a couple of dunks in the second half, which has to help his eroding confidence.
The Celtics will take all that, and they will happily move on from Minnesota with the win in their back pocket. They remain two games behind the Bulls for first place in the Eastern Conference and have a game in the loss column over the Heat for second place. Keeping distance between themselves and Miami may be the more realistic goal with just three weeks left before the playoffs begin.
But on a night when they shot 40 percent and scored 85 points against a team that allows their opponents to shoot over 46 percent and gives up a league-high 107 points and was playing without Kevin Love … there's obviously still work to be done.
"Wins are great," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said to reporters in Minnesota after the game. "The first quarter would be our blueprint. Then after that we didn't play very well."
Rivers was upset by the defense in the third quarter when they allowed the Wolves to score 28 points and shoot 10-for-17. Considering Minnesota scored just 54 points in the other three quarters and shot 20-for-53, he has a point. But he is also concerned with the offense, and again, that's where the problems lie with this team.
Rivers said that he counted 20 straight possessions where his team didn't post the ball and that led to long jump shots and contested 3-pointers. Even when the 3's were open, they weren't falling (4-for-15) and that's when you go to something else.
Still, considering the week this team has had, losing this game would have bordered on a catastrophe, and there were at least two bright spots to build from:
Rajon Rondo tweaked his injured pinky during the Bobcats game on Friday and he said at practice on Saturday that it is bothering him. It made sense to sit him down for at least one game -- if not more – and the Celtics are fortunate that Delonte West was ready to pick up the slack.
The Wolves began the game by going under screens on high pick and rolls and West buried a couple of jumpers. That forced Minnesota to adjust and when they hedged, West was able to get the ball to the open man, which led to all that wonderful ball movement.
"He set the table for us," Rivers said. "He's so tough. I don't know how you describe his game. He's a hell of a player and you're happy he's on your basketball team because he'll win you games."
West scored eight points and had five assists in a steady 30-minute performance, but it was his offensive rebound among four Minnesota players that helped seal the victory. That's the kind of tangible intangible that West brings to this team and it was good sign that his injured ankle seemed to respond favorably.
If the Celtics are going to do anything in the postseason, they will need Rondo to get his quirky groove back, but for one night West was able to pull them through.
Lost in the struggles and the trials and tribulations is one enormous positive: Kevin Garnett is still playing very good basketball. Like the rest of the Celtics, Garnett's production has tailed off a bit in the last 10 games or so, but that has more to do with one bad shooting night when he went 4-for-19 against the Clippers and a slight reduction in minutes.
Other than that Garnett has continued to be a rock, especially on the boards where he piled up 13 rebounds. He also made a conscious effort to continue to move the ball. Garnett finished with five assists and he is one of the few players on the team where the ball doesn't stick when it gets to him.
Late in the game he also took it upon himself to get down to the block and he scored two huge baskets to help them come away with the win.
If there is one major difference between this year's March swoon and last season's, it's that Garnett is obviously healthy and playing well. That, more than anything, is reason for optimism.
Paul Pierce did not have a good night, despite his solid line of 23 points and seven rebounds. He made only 6-of-16 shots and was 2-for-8 from 3-point range. He also turned it over six times. This is part of an ongoing struggle for Pierce. Since February, he has attempted 97 shots from behind the arc and made just 25 of them.
But when the game was one the line he made several big plays, including completing a three-point play that put the Celtics ahead for good. In all he scored seven points in the final 3:26 and without that offensive jolt there's no telling how this game would have played out.
Pierce's struggles have been in line with the rest of the team's, although his long-range shooting difficulties have been more pronounced. The team's assists are down over the last two months and that has created the need for more isolation plays and contested jumpers.
That's the biggest reason for their collective offensive slide. Whether it's been less ball movement overall, fewer opportunities created by Rondo or a combination of both, the Celtics are having to work too hard for good looks and the results are in the tumbling shooting percentages and the low amount of points on the scoreboard.
Pierce's night was fairly emblematic of those issues, but winning helps hide a multitude of problems. The Celtics can take that win – and the blueprint of that furious opening quarter – and take it into their biggest nemesis: a back-to-back Monday night in Indiana against a Pacers team that is holding on for dear life to the final playoff spot.

U.S. President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G-7 group of industrialized democracies are calling on Russia to seize the chance to make peace as Ukraine prepares to swear in its new president, Petro Poroshenko. VOA White House correspondent Luis Ramirez is traveling with the president and has this report from Brussels.

U.S. President Barack Obama said that Russian President Vladimir Putin must recognize and work with Ukraine's newly-elected government and stop "provocations" along its border, or face tougher sanctions from members of the Group of Seven nations.
All sides agreed Russia should change its behavior, and they joined in threatening to slap new sanctions that would target entire sectors of the Russian economy.
"We will have a chance to see what Mr. Putin does over the next two, three, four weeks, and if he remains on the current course, then we've already indicated the kinds of actions that we're prepared to take," Obama said at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron at the end of a G7 summit in Brussels, Belgium.
"Russia needs to seize that opportunity," Obama said. "Russia needs to recognize that President-elect [Petro] Poroshenko is the legitimately elected leader of Ukraine and engage the government in Kyiv."
"Lockstep" strategy
Obama emerged from two days of meetings with the G7, saying it was a chance for the gathered leaders to make sure they are in "lockstep" on a strategy going forward in uncertain times in Ukraine.
He and Cameron both praised the united front that the U.S. and Europe has maintained in dealing with Russia and the crisis in Ukraine.
"What has been striking has been the degree of solidary between the United States and Europe in this crisis," Obama said. "I've been heartened by the steadfastness of Europe so far."

Obama said he understands the real economic consequences on countries that have extensive trade ties with Russia, but indicated those have to be weighed against the values and principles that Russia has violated.
"The choice is clear: Europeans have to stand up for those ideals and principles even if it creates some economic inconvenience," he said.
The president said the U.S. is looking at sanctions that would maximize the consequences on Russia but minimize the adverse effects on the economies of G7 nations.
Dialogue encouraged
Obama urged Putin to "enter into a dialogue" with Poroshenko, who is being inaugurated Saturday after winning the May 25 election.
G7 Leaders Meeting in Brussels
Agreed coordinated actions must continue to raise the cost of Russia's interference in Ukraine, including the annexation of Crimea
Pledged to support Ukraine as it pursues reforms to transform its economy
Denounced the use of energy supplies as a tool of political coercion
Pledged assistance to Ukraine and other countries looking to develop their own energy resources
Agreed that concrete action on climate change is an essential complement to steps to strengthen energy security
Committed to development projects, including promoting food security, advancing global health security, and supporting the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

Cameron, who will meet with Putin later Thursday, said he plans to tell the Russian president that Russia's actions in Ukraine are unacceptable and at odds with G7 leaders' democratic values.
The prime minister said he plans to discuss with Putin the demands outlined by the G7 members as a whole -- that Russia respect the results of Ukraine's presidential election, stop the flow of fighters and weapons to the eastern part of the country, and completely withdraw troops from its border with Ukraine
If Putin does not meet the demands, Russia, whose economy has already begun to suffer from present sanctions, will possibly face harsher, sectoral sanctions, Cameron said.
Mistral sale
In other questions, Obama also said he had "expressed some concerns" to France about its sale of warships to Russia during this period.
"I think it would have been preferable to press the pause button," Obama said in response to a question about the decision to go ahead with the sale of French Mistral warships despite events in Ukraine.
France has come under pressure from some European allies to pull the plug on the 1.2-billion-euro deal on the grounds Russia could use the Mistral-class helicopter carriers to threaten its Black Sea neighbors.
France agreed to the sale under a 2011 contract, with the first vessel due in October and the second in 2015.
The Mistral, the second-largest ship in the French navy, is a high-seas military base that can transport up to 16 helicopters, four landing craft, 60 armed vehicles and some 700 troops.
Other G7 action
In other G7 action, the world's leading industrialized nations vowed on Thursday to seal a series of free-trade deals that would radically change the shape of global commerce despite rising popular opposition.
Leaders of the G7 committed themselves to eight far-reaching accords that would encompass more than 80 percent of the world's economy but that effectively sideline China and Russia and have met with protests, particularly in Europe.
In the most ambitious round of liberalization since the demise of the Doha round of global trade talks, the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the United States want to create a market of almost a billion people and set world trade rules that the rest may have to follow.

An EU-U.S. deal alone could generate $100 billion in additional economic output a year on both sides of the Atlantic.
The G7 also gave their backing on Thursday to a new global deal on climate change in 2015.
Earlier this week, the United States announced a plan to cut emissions from power plants by 30 percent by 2030, which will run into domestic opposition, prompting the European Union into a defense of its own record.
China, the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses, also gave a hint that it would set some kind of cap on its emissions.
A draft of the G7 communique seen by Reuters said the G7 nations remained committed to low-carbon economies and limiting temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the limit scientists say can prevent the most devastating effects of climate change.
And the G7 offered the EU support with its efforts to make its energy supplies more secure, promising to "complement the efforts of the European Commission to develop emergency energy plans for winter 2014-2015".
In Europe, the quest for energy security in the face of threats from Russia that it could disrupt supplies of gas pumped through Ukraine, has knocked the climate debate down the agenda.
But addressing the G7 in Brussels, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the two issues went "hand in hand."
EU nations said domestic, renewable sources, such as solar and wind, can reduce the need for fossil fuel imports from nations such as Russia, while Poland, which relies on polluting coal, said coal is a reliable, domestic fuel source.
D-Day ceremony
Obama's aim at this G7 summit was to further isolate Russia and galvanize support among western European nations for tougher sanctions in case it is necessary to apply them.
The summit was originally scheduled as a G-8 to be held in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi, with Putin as host.
After Russia annexed Crimea, the economic powers revoked the Russian leader's invitation and moved the meeting to Brussels.
"Originally of course our summit was supposed to be in Sochi, but after Russia's actions in Ukraine, our nations united quickly around a common strategy. We suspended Russia from the G8, and we canceled the Sochi meeting, making this the first G7 held without Russia in some 20 years," Obama said on Thursday.
During the visit, though, it became clear that not all G-7 leaders were as eager as Obama to isolate Putin.
The Russian president and Obama are both attending D-Day commemorations in France Friday, but there are no plans for them to meet.
Other G-7 leaders, however, are meeting privately with Putin, including French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Later Thursday, Obama headed to Paris and was to attend a dinner with Hollande, who had planned a second dinner with Putin later the same night.
The meetings will come at a ceremony in Normandy, France to mark the 70th anniversary of the allied D-Day invasion against Nazi forces in World War II.
Kerry, Lavrov meet
The top U.S. and Russian diplomats met in Paris on Thursday, and agreed that Ukraine should be a bridge between Russia and the West and not be a "pawn" in a power struggle.
"President-elect Poroshenko has made it clear that he wants to reach out to all of the people of Ukraine, and he intends to make a major effort to bring the country together," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said before meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
"This is an opportunity we hope for Russia, the United States, and others ... to make a Ukraine that is strong economically, whose sovereignty is respected, whose independence is respected, but which clearly is not the pawn in a tug-of-war between other nations ... [and] able to act as a bridge between east and west with trade, with engagement between all parties," Kerry said.
"We would like to see Ukraine peaceful, stable. A place for all those who live in Ukraine ... to be feeling equal, respected, and listened to, living in peace being a bridge, not being a pawn," Lavrov said.
Luis Ramirez contributed to this report from Brussels, some information provided by Reuters, AFP and AP.

Obama was one of many leaders to make the clear statement that Putin must recognize and work with Poroshenko and it is based on the call for global human and civil rights, movement away from oppression. This is simply a call for humanitarian self determination, Obama one of many, to call for an end to aggressive and oppressive means. In these comments I hear echoes; Ukrainian and Russian farmers moved to Canada during past times of oppression and that is where some of us have our foundations of interest. We know what happened in the past and we know that Russians and Ukrainians can get along.
It is so sad to see the Ukraine go through this abuse forever. Now is the time for them to get this right, to cement a solid independence and identity of self determination and they need the support of countries who have matured, who have evolved their own civil and human rights, who have begun to address their own problems of oppression. In Russia you get murdered if you say something the government doesn't like; journalists and human rights activists risk their lives in Russia. Here in the US, our presidents are strong enough to take criticism without feeling the need to silence anyone, here in the US there is not the deadly oppression there is in Russia. That is what this is all about ultimately, that and that only, and that is what the leaders are addressing.

I wonder, who is Obama to warn Mr. Putin? Obama to order that Putin should work with president elect of Ukraine shows that he (Obama) is the one who is behind such a chaos in Ukraine.

'U.S. President Barack Obama said that Russian President Vladimir Putin must recognize and work with Ukraine's newly-elected government' Well of course if Putin 'must' then since he has no choice he will. Of course if Putin has choices then even though he 'must' he might not. And while I think that the US threats are a hardly unexpected they won't cut any ice with the Russian government on Russia's border. The more limited the Western actions the greater US threats as words substitute for deeds,. There is no support in Western Europe for sanctions against Russia. And on its current trajectory the 'Western alliance', as US Presidents like to refer to their European colonies , is destined to implode.
June 06, 2014 5:53 AM
Putin has shown nothing but disrespect to people of: Ukraine, and Syria, Georgia, and Chechnya several other places too.
His disgusting business practices are similar to those of a jackass more than a hero. Every Russian I know of in the free to speak western world can not stand him.
June 06, 2014 5:28 AM
And Obama Must work with the elected government of Syria , Mr. Obama contradicts himself .
June 05, 2014 11:36 PM
Mr. Obama, you must lower your voice while urging others to accept your ideas. You are only the president of the USA so do not make a ridiculous mistake by using "must". Do you symply think Russia will be afraid of your threat? What an incapable president!
June 05, 2014 6:53 PM
"Strong" is relative, and more clearly from the comment from Godwin. There is context to all this conflict here. While on the one hand it is easy for people to point fingers at US for not being "strong", pause for a moment and ask what all of you who know what it means to be strong could have done, based on the proximity of Ukraine to Russia, and on the other hand consider that EU should have more strategic interest in Ukraine than America has. But nobody is pointing at that. If Ukraine was a next door neighbor to US, and events took similar trend, I wonder what people would say about Putin's strength. He would not have said a word for fear of the inevitable.

Double standards for the entire world to see. Russia has allowed the will of the citizens to prevail which is more than what happened in Iraq Libya Syria and numerous other countries. Putin is at the moment the world's best leader may God bless him and the great nation of Russia.
June 05, 2014 5:52 AM
I think president Putin is a hard man strong enough to withstand western pressures. But that is paying off only in the area of ability to absorb pressure. However he is not pragmatic or coercive enough to counter them head-on. What Russia needs is someone with brain, someone who is not just reactionary but with a clout to be able to preempt western actions. Somehow the weakness in the US administration is replicating in Russia's inability to think ahead and counter the flurry of diplomatic bombardments to which Moscow has been subjected due to western desire to monopolize the earth systems. Therefore, if Putin finds himself unsuitable to reposition Russia in its place pre- and post cold war, he should step down to allow better thinkers and technocrats take over the kingdom to forestall further drift into oblivion - which is what all the action of the west - call it G-7, NATO, individual western powers and USA, or Allied Forces - want. Putin should stop being reactive and become proactive; he should be giving not always to be at the receiving end.

I think Putin has been proactive enough in seizing his neighbor's lands. Stealing Crimea fro Ukraine was his biggest geopolitical error.That woke up the lions and some hyenas. He is now responsible for sending Russian and Chechens into east Ukraine, and helping to arm some malcontents within Ukraine. I wish Russia was neighbor to Nigeria and not Ukraine. Then you could experience first-hand how uncoersive he can be. My mother tongue is Ukrainian, so I am involved.

Re-Opening Old Wounds in a Bullet-Riddled Cultural Landmark
A cultural landmark before Lebanon's civil war transformed it into a nest of snipers, Beirut's 'Yellow House' is once again set to play a crucial role in the city.
