Until the 20th century, forest policies across the globe focused primarily on effective forest utilization for timber production. Subsequent loss of forest land prompted many countries to review and amend such policies, in an attempt to incorporate the principles of conservation and sustainable forest management. One of the countries to implement such changes was India, which introduced new policies, acts and programmes to regulate forest conversion and degradation, beginning in the 1980s. These policies, acts, and programmes included the Forest Conservation Act of 1980, the National Forest Policy of 1988 and the Hon. Supreme Court Order of 1996. All of these regulations affected the timber supply from government forest areas, and created a huge gap in timber supply and demand. Currently, this deficit is met through imports and trees outside forests (TOFs). Timber production from government forest areas is abysmally low (3.35% of total demand) compared to potential timber production from TOFs, which fulfil 45% of the total timber demand in India. This implies that TOFs have immense potential in meeting the growing timber demand; however, they have not been fully utilized due to discrepancies in state level TOFs' policies. The present paper provides a review of different forest policies, acts and guidelines in relation to timber production in India, and provides specific recommendations in order to maximize timber production in the context of increasing demand for timber products.]]>
This paper explores the development and implementation of strategies for sustainable mobility in Basel, Switzerland. Basel (Bâle, Basilea, Basle) has been identified as a 'relatively successful' practitioner of sustainable mobility, with an urban form that is not only conducive to walking and cycling, but also has an extensive public transport system and high levels of commuting using these sustainable modes of transport. With a low share of journeys by motor vehicles compared to many other European cities – combined with a legally-binding objective to reduce vehicle traffic by a further 10% from 2010 to 2020 – Basel appears to be a forerunner with regard to sustainable mobility policy and practice. Five years after this objective was passed into law – following a public vote, as Basel is part of the Swiss confederation and practices direct democracy – this study aims to assess the extent of policy implementation and reflect on challenges and opportunities for the future. The paper presents findings from a series of interviews with stakeholders in Basel on the theme of sustainable mobility. Key questions include: is it possible to develop coherent strategies and policies to further reduce the role of motor vehicles and in doing so, achieve a modal shift? How does participation in a direct democracy influence strategy and policy development and outcomes? Do compromises and trade-offs mean strategies and policies promoting sustainable mobility are, like Swiss cheese, riddled with holes? By illustrating challenges and opportunities when advancing sustainable mobility in a participative culture, the study provides insights for policymakers and researchers in other contexts. Among the conclusions is an emphasis on the importance of committed individuals capable of expanding the 'strategy space' of processes. Participation provides one such opportunity, yet may also generate divergent or contradictory trends causing incrementalism. A rapid transition to sustainable mobility is thus likely to require increased politicisation of the topic by both politicians and civil servants.]]>
Oyster farmers depend on good water quality. Activities upstream from estuaries result in externalities that impact water quality. Over the last 10 years, oyster farmers have been developing estuary-wide environmental management systems ( EMSs ) to tackle internal (i.e. industry-related) and external (i.e. catchment) issues in N ew S outh W ales, A ustralia. Drawing on interview-based research and document analyses, this paper shows that the process of creating an EMS for the oyster industry, as well as the creation of the EMS itself, resulted in legitimizing the industry's stewardship over the natural resource it depends on (water). For the oyster industry, this result was due to a change in the scale on which EMSs have been developed: instead of viewing issues at the individual business level, the systems expanded their viewpoint to the entire catchment, and included every oyster business in the estuary, as well as all other activities in the upper catchment. By providing a means of communicating internal efforts and with the support of local government bodies, EMSs provided a mechanism with which influence over upstream actors and activities could be exerted. We demonstrate this by using the 'social-ecological systems' and ' ENCORE ' frameworks, emphasizing the transitions that allowed for this change of scale to take place.]]>
Despite a decrease in indigenous forests and a growing demand for tree products in developing countries, tree planting activities are not considerably expanding in Tanzania. In this paper, we analyse factors that influence households' tree planting behaviour, as well as the number of trees planted. Coast and Morogoro regions in the east of Tanzania were selected as the case, and data was gathered from 202 households in 11 villages in these regions where tree planting programmes have been or still are active. A Heckman model is used to analyse the factors that drive tree planting behaviour. Results indicate that households get wood energy from forest reserves (57%), in addition to their own planted trees (9.1%). Emperical findings show that the most important factors have significantly positive effects on households' tree planting behaviour, as well as the extent to which it was implemented. These factors include households' land sizes, households' awareness of tree planting programmes, tree planting for wood energy, and the age of the head of the household. The right/freedom to harvest and transport tree products, households' attitudes towards tree planting, and family size have significantly negative effects on households' tree planting behaviour. This paper is perhaps the first comprehensive study to analyse the factors that influence households' tree planting behaviour in Tanzania, and it uncovers results that are useful, even for other developing countries with similar conditions.]]>
This study investigated the need and applicability of wetland tourism for resource conservation, using the case of Ghodaghodi Lake Complex, a Ramsar Site in western Nepal. The travel cost method (TCM) was used to determine the recreation potential of the lake complex, while the contingent valuation method (CVM) was used to calculate willingness of visitors to pay an entry fee as a payment vehicle for conservation. The per capita travel cost was found to be NPR 540 (US $7.71), while the mean willingness to pay an entry fee was NPR 34 (US $0.48) per visitor per entry. In addition, factors affecting wetland visitation rates and maximum willingness to pay were identified. Policy implications include the establishment of an entry fee system to offset conservation budgetary constraints, government investment in social benefits equating to at least per capita travel cost identified, and public-private partnerships, with community participation in tourism promotion and wetland conservation.]]>
This paper examines whether foreign aid, together with other economic, social and environmental factors, contributes to sustainable development. It starts with an illustrative theoretical growth model where foreign aid promotes sustainable development by protecting the environment. Using factor analysis and newly developed estimation methods for a dynamic panel data model with endogenous regressors, the empirical section of the paper finds evidence that foreign aid has had a significantly positive influence on sustainable development in aid recipient countries. This effect is very likely to go through channels related to growth and resources as well as a technology channel with respect to energy intensity. This research has important implications for a post-2015 development framework on international collective action with regard to a sustainable future.
This study estimated a series of indicators to assess the energy security of supply and global and local environmental impacts under different mitigation scenarios through 2050 in Brazil, designed with the integrated optimization energy system model MESSAGE-BRAZIL. The assessment of interactions between environmental impacts and energy security dimensions was complemented through the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Overall results imply energy security establishes more synergies than trade-offs in increasingly stringent mitigation scenarios, especially patent within the sustainability dimension, which increases energy security and provides additional benefits regarding climate change mitigation and air pollution emissions. It is still necessary to extend analysis to other energy sectors in addition to the power supply sector and to promote a better understanding of repercussions of energy scenario expansion in energy security.
The long-term threat of sea-level rise to coral atoll and reef island communities in Kiribati, Tuvalu and other nations has raised the possibility of international migration. Historical resettlements in the Pacific may provide valuable insight into the long-term effect of future climate change-related migration on communities. This study evaluates the challenges faced by Gilbertese people resettled from modern-day Kiribati to Ghizo in the Solomon Islands by the British colonial administration in the mid-1900s. Drawing upon field interviews (n = 45) conducted in 2011 and the available historical literature, the study examines the circumstances of the initial failed resettlement in the equatorial Phoenix Islands, the subsequent relocation to Ghizo, and the recent concerns of the Gilbertese in Ghizo. Focus is placed on the struggle to recover from the 2007 tsunami that devastated the unprepared community. The analysis reveals that uncertainty about land tenure (raised by 61% of respondents) persists 60 years after resettlement, and is linked to the ability to recover from the tsunami, tensions with the Melanesian population, concerns over political representation, cultural decline, and education and employment opportunities. The Gilbertese experience can serve as a cautionary tale for policymakers considering mechanisms for facilitating climate change-related migration.
Since the inception of sustainable development (SD), there has been a somewhat ignored contradiction between paradigms that are ecosystem-based and paradigms that are human-based or purely economic. We suggest that this contradiction can be unified through a balance of the two. The Chinese Yin-Yang philosophy is applied as a tool or approach to seeking balance between these ecocentric and anthropocentric paradigms. Priority education policy design for the merging of ecology and health are projected through an Ecohealth lens in response to increasing SD challenges and the intention of the international Ecohealth organization to contribute to SD goals. Meeting SD goals along the nexus of health and environment is further considered through early-careerist cultural assessments and projections. The groups considered for their professional image of the future are: members of the Ecohealth Association Student Section and Chinese early-careerists participating in a related conference. In response to SD goals, a problem-based learning design is suggested as an education policy priority. Rather than approaching SD as a boolean concept, for example, by either focusing on ecosystem sustainability or economic development, we suggest education policy for programmes and curriculums that will help emerging professionals balance these paradigms, so as to best address national and global challenges.
Among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the proposed SDG 15 promotes activities that, inter alia, "Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems". An important potential contribution in achieving SDG 15 is through public programmes designed to jointly promote human development through poverty alleviation and improvement of human livelihoods and biodiversity conservation/management/restoration. An analysis of twenty public programmes with such joint objectives yielded twelve lessons learned. In addition to financial commitments, government and intergovernmental agency input for such public programmes includes ensuring political will and appropriate legal frameworks. Local communities and civil society provide input through traditional and indigenous ecological knowledge and stewardship. Appropriate shared inputs in development and the implementation of such public programmes, with communication between local community, broader civil society, the scientific community and governments will result in: better use and management of biodiversity; alleviation of poverty; security of livelihoods and better governance systems. The Ecosystem Approach of the Convention on Biological Diversity provides an ideal framework when planning and implementing new programmes. Application of the lessons learned to new public programmes will ensure that the answer to the question posed in the title is an emphatic "Yes", and assist with the achievement of SDG 15.
The increase in energy demand due to economic and population growth necessitates the expansion of the Brazilian energy supply. Hydropower energy, a renewable energy source, arguably clean, presents an energy solution for many countries such as Brazil, with large hydric reservoirs, which help them reduce energy dependence on fossil and imported fuel sources. However, it must be emphasized that without careful planning, the creation of hydropower plants will cause severe social and environmental damage due to the large areas that need to be flooded for the implementation of these plants. The installation of hydropower plants floods vast forest areas, causing loss of biodiversity, displacement of native Brazilian people and riverside populations, and changes to the water acid levels and the natural course of rivers. To mitigate these effects, authorities must first conduct a study on installation possibilities and potential socio-environmental consequences, to be interpreted and used by the agents involved. Aiming to analyze the social-environmental impacts of the hydropower plants, this research seeks to investigate the capacity of mitigation of the negative effects of the implementation of the hydropower plants, specifically with regard to the Belo Monte plant, Brazil.

Set to ship in September, FOR-A has introduced a new HD frame rate converter, the FRC-3000, which offers many of the same features of its SD version, in a 1RU frame. The SD version, the FRC-7000, was used for the Super Bowl XLII telecast in February to support the international feeds.
The new HD frame rate converter supports conversions between the 1080/59.94i and 1080/50i, and between 720/59.94p and 720/50p HD frame rates in real time. It also performs high-precision conversion using motion compensation technology and a scene cut detection function.
FOR-A's new FRC-3000 features text field automatic detection, which automatically recognizes scrolling text superimposed on video. This provides optimal conversion and high-quality character depiction. A manual setting can be chosen for each static field, such as date, time, program titles and logos, allowing for those portions to be treated separately without performing motion compensation processing.
The FRC-3000 also includes an eight-channel digital audio multiplexer/demultiplexer card, enabling signals of different frequencies to be transmitted within a single channel. The unit supports the FRC-70D-D Dolby E/AC-3 decoder option and the FRC-70DE-E Dolby E encoder option.

I'm currently working on a series of introductory talks on the Bible. They are designed for people who are unfamiliar with the Bible, or for those who would like a refresher course.
Talk 1 asks the basic question, "Why do we need a sacred text like the Bible?" To watch Talk 1, click here: http://bit.ly/1AwZDfM
Talk 2 looks at the importance of story. Each of us has a story, and our story consists of all the people, places and events that make us the unique individual that we are. To lose our story is to lose our identity. To watch Talk 2, click here: http://youtu.be/6Ze7OkLmgdA
The Christian Bible is made up of the Old and New Testaments. Talk 3 takes a look at the Old Testament. What's in the Old Testament, and what kind of literature are we dealing with? To watch Talk 3, click here: http://youtu.be/_rnkohhp94k
Talks 4 and 5 look at the New Testament. What's in the New Testament, and who finally decided which books would be included in the New Testament? To watch Talk 4, click here: http://youtu.be/Rg41oHGrOhM To watch Talk 5, click here: http://youtu.be/5kA0oXYmYA8
Talk 6 look at the historical background of the biblical story. There is no text without context, so what is the historical context of the biblical story. Click here to watch Talk 6: http://youtu.be/Btt0P7axkNs
Talk 7 offers an overview of the four gospels. What is a gospel and why were the gospels written? What's in the gospels? Click here to watch Talk 7: http://youtu.be/etvqVeRqFxo
TALK 1: I'm currently working on a series of talks that looks at key New Testament words as we find them in the Greek New Testament. When we read the New Testament in English we are reading it in translation. The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, the popular or common form of the Greek language spoken from around 300 BC until about 300 AD. The Italians have a saying, Traduttore Traditore - the translator is a traitor. There's nothing sinister implied in that saying; it cleverly highlights the difficult task confronting any translator. How do you express in English the full dynamism of a text written in another language, in this case the Koine Greek? Each talk in this series will look at key New Testament word in the Greek New Testament and try to see how it was used and understood in its original first century context. Click here to watch Talk 1:http://youtu.be/i5e9tuRiREI
TALK 2: The Greek Alphabet. Since each talk in this series focuses on a key word from the Greek New Testament, it would be helpful to learn the Greek alphabet. This talk offers a basic introduction to the Greek alphabet, as it would have been pronounced in koine Greek. Click here to watch Talk 2: http://youtu.be/mup7vQv4YLM
TALK 3: New Testament Words: Ἰησοῦς (Iesous-Jesus). The name Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) is a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yehoshua. Our pronunciation, Jesus, comes to us from the Greek via the Latin, Iesus. Click here to watch Talk 3: http://youtu.be/c0XpsgcuJ9E
TALK 4: New Testament Words: Χριστός (Christos - Christ). What does the word Christ mean, and what does it mean to call Jesus the Christ? Click here to watch Talk 4: http://youtu.be/ZccVrWlfhWU
TALK 5: New Testament Words: Ἀρχηγὸς (Archegos). A title given to Jesus, but found only four times in the New Testament. Click here to watch Talk 5: http://youtu.be/9PZgedon6ik
TALK 6: New Testament Words: Tέκτων (tektōn). In Mark's gospel we learn that Jesus was a tektōn, a word that most bibles translate as carpenter. What did it mean to be a tektōn in first century Palestine? Click here to watch Talk 6: http://youtu.be/YxFzvg9amks
TALK 7: New Testament Words: Mετάνοια (metanoia). Metanoia is usually translated as "repentance", but what does that mean? Click here to watch Talk 7: http://youtu.be/CbW47nvJ4bQ
TALK 8: New Testament Words: Παράκλητος (paraklētos). Jesus is called a Paraklētos as is the Holy Spirit. We don't have an exact equivalent in English, which is why some translations use the word Paraclete. What does the word mean, and what is it saying about Jesus and the Holy Spirit? Click here to watch Talk 8: http://youtu.be/wmq_YaNjxu0
TALK 9: New Testament Words: εὐαγγέλιον (euangelion). Our English word Gospel is a translation of the Greek εὐαγγέλιον (euangelion) which means "good news". Click here to watch Talk 9: http://youtu.be/iU7VKCj7iZo
This talk is an introduction to Christian meditation. Because we're constantly thinking about one thing or another, our mind is often likened to a tree full of noisy, playful monkeys. This form of meditation, using a prayer word or mantra, seeks to still the mind and rest in silence in the presence of God.

Other parishioners then purchase the service with 100% of proceeds going to Caritas. Put your thinking caps on and decide what you could donate. Here are some ideas:
* Language lessons (Spanish, Arabic, French, any language;
* Offer to make a birthday cake, pavlova, your own special dish;
* Are you a fantastic office/home organiser?
* Can you fix a computer? Are you a handyman?
* Two hours gardening or housework or dog walking;
* One or two hours teaching chess, golf, tennis, surfing, whatever your special skill.
Planned Giving Donations
Teresa House Working Bee
Located in Redfern, Teresa House provides free overnight accommodation for homeless people. It is staffed entirely by volunteers. The St Michael's Parish Social Justice Group is organising a working bee (23+24 July) to spruce up the house. We are looking for the following assistance:
** Your time! Can you come for a few hours on either Saturday 23 July to do some cleaning at the house, or Sunday 24 July to help out with some painting?
** An electrician who can come to the site before the working bee to check out all the electrical fittings before we start. We are also trying to get our hands on some new fixtures (lights/switches), so if they could assist with that as well, that would be fantastic.
** A plumber who can assist with changing fixtures in the bathrooms.
** Picutres or furniture that you might be wanting to get rid of - decorations to give the house a lift!
** Curtains - are you handy with a sewing machine and willing to make some curtains for the living room and bedrooms in the house?
Parish Pilgrimage to Rome for the end of the Year of Mercy
Fr Geoffrey will be leading a week-long pilgrimage to Rome to celebrate the end of the Year of Mercy. The pilgrimage, organised by the Archdiocese, includes first class accommodation at Domus Australia, a visit to the Holy Doors in each of the four major basilicas, guided tours around ancient Rome and the Vatican Museum. You can make your own way to Rome and meet us at Domus Australia, or you can travel with the parish. If you are travelling with the parish we depart Australia on Monday, November 14 and return on Wednesday, November 23. The pilgrimage costs $1990 (twin share), plus airfare. More detailed information soon.
Pope Francis' Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation
That's a bit of a mouthful, but Pope Francis has just released this document, titled in Latin Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), on marriage and the family. Amoris Laetitia gathers together the contributions of the two Synods on the family convoked by Pope Francis in 2014 and 2015, and draws on a long history of Church teaching.

Pope Francis' Encyclical on the Environment
Pope Francis has just released an Encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si'. The name of this encyclical comes from its opening words, "Laudato si' mi' Signore" (Praise be to you, my Lord). In the words of this beautiful canticle, St Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home (planet Earth) is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. "Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs." Pope Francis makes the point that "this sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her."

The following information about parish demographics is taken from the 2011 national census. The total number of people living in the parish is 31,512 (36,119 in 2006).
The Catholic population of the parish is 9,320 (10,036 in 2006) - i.e. 29.6% of the parish is Catholic (up from 27.8% in 2006). The percentage of Catholics nationwide is 25.29%.
Other statistics relating to the parish: No religion: 24.79%; Anglicans: 17.54%; Orthodox Christians: 2.7%; Other Christians: 9.8%; Non-Christian religion: 8%; Religion not stated: 7.6%.
The median age of Catholics in this parish is 35 years. There are 3,214 Catholic families in the parish, and 753 Catholics live alone. Forty-three per cent of Catholics in the parish have a university degree (up from 38% in 2006), and 66% of Catholic students living in the parish attend a Catholic school (down from 70% in 2006).
All parishioners who have a parish ministry that involves working with children must obtain a Working with Children Check number. At St Michael's this means: Catechists, those helping with children's liturgy, and senior servers. People who do not have a WWW check number will not be able to work with children. Because you work on a volunteer basis, there is no charge. Paid employees must pay an $80 fee.
Step 1: This is an online process. The website that you must go to is: www.newcheck.kids.nsw.gov.au
Step 2: Once you have accessed the website, click on "Start Here". You go to the "For individuals" section (not "For employers"), and click on "Apply". That will open up the online application form which will ask you for your personal details. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete the form. The information you give on this form must match your "proof of identity" document (e.g. your driver's licence). In the section, "purpose for the check", make sure you click "volunteer".
Step 3: You will receive an application receipt number, beginning with APP.
Step 4: You must then go to a Motor Registry Office with your APP number and proof of identity (e.g. a NSW driver's licence).
Step 5: The parish must then verify that you have received a Working With Children Check Number. Your check will be valid for five years.
If you have any questions, please contact the parish office.

- Summary
- Chapter
- microstructural investigation;
- metallic foams;
- aluminium foam production by PM
The powder-metallurgical manufacture of aluminium foam is based on the steps: powder mixing, cold isostatic pressing, extruding, rolling and (if necessary) roll bonding. The expandable materials are therefore available in the form of rods, sheets or bonded sheet structures. Sandwich structures can be manufactured both by bonding with aluminium and with steel sheets. When the expandable semi-finished material is heated to temperatures above the liquidus limit and the decomposition temperature of the foaming agent, the formation of foam begins. Structures of many different types can be produced using appropriate expansion dies. Possible uses would be volume bodies for energy dissipators, aluminium foam sandwiches with foam core or simple foam sheets for various applications in the engineering, automotive, architecture or design fields.

Construction Slated for Interstate 80 in South Placer
Caltrans will begin work to raise the vertical clearance of nine structures in Placer County that cross Interstate 80.
The overcrossings include eight vehicle bridges and one railroad trestle from the Brace Road overcrossing in Loomis to the Magra Road overcrossing east of Colfax. The vertical clearance of these structures is being raised to 16-feet 6-inches to meet current standards that improve access on I-80 through the Sierra for interstate commerce and national security.
Six structures will be raised using a complex system of jacks and reconstruction, while the roadway under the remaining three structures will be dug down to create the required clearance. Work will begin in the summer of 2014 and go through the fall of 2015. Each of the six raised structures will require I-80 to be completely closed overnight for two nights, and the overcrossings will be closed for up to 25 days. Structures requiring the highway to be dug lower will require multiple long-term lane and ramp closures.
Traffic detours will be in effect during the construction work in the communities of Loomis, Penryn, Newcastle, Weimar and Colfax. Eastbound and westbound traffic will be affected, alternate routes will vary depending on when and where motorists are travelling. There will be long-term closures for local traffic and short-term (2 night) complete closures of the structures. No one will be allowed to cross the overcrossing during this scheduled closure.
Schedule of closures will be coming soon, but you can still make sure you're prepared! Passenger and commercial motorists are highly encouraged to plan their alternate routes ahead of time. Find the alternate route that works for you and have a couple of other detours in mind. For detour routes for each of the overcrossings visit: www.raise80.com/maps SLOW FOR THE CONE ZONE Drivers are reminded to slow their speed in the work zone. Workers are working within inches of live traffic. Traffic is unpredictable and sudden slowing or stopping may occur. Please do not peer into work zones as this can cause collisions if drivers are not paying attention to their driving.

Willow Smith Debuts Blunt Bangs; Looks Sharp, Sleek, & Grown Up
Willow Smith is a total hair chameleon, and last night, the 12-year-old debuted a long, black bob and a set of blunt bangs at the premiere of After Earth. Experimenting with her hair is kind of her go-to move, and she's always done so with aplomb (and the inspiring support of her awesome mother).
Smith was on hand to support her pop Will and brother Jaden's new movie, but our eyes were on her new 'do. The shoulder-length hairstyle frames her face nicely, the blunt bangs hit at the right spot just above her eyebrows, and the entire look is just so sleek and chic, which is a surprising change from her more typical punk looks. We likey.
Smith has sported a slew of eye-opening hairstyles in the past (who can forget her shaved-head moment?), and this more understated look is a departure from all of them. That's not to say it doesn't look great, though; it's like the girl just hopped out of bed and turned her swag on.

Pizza Man sign is up on Downer
In case you haven't walked or driven down Downer Avenue in the past few days, I'm here to tell you that a bit of legendary East Side design has returned to the city in the form of the well recognized, if not finely designed, Pizza Man sign.
Say what you will about its shape, but this thing is (warning here comes a massively overused word) an iconic Milwaukee sign.
Pizza Man's development is coming along nicely. Mid-to-late July is the new target grand reopening range. You can follow it on Facebook.

The fiscal cliff approacheth.
As I have thought from the beginning, I think any deal will come in January. It is much easier to 'lower taxes' than to raise them.
See you Sunday evening.
"For freedom we were set free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery. For you were called for freedom, brothers and sisters. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for sin and worldly gains; rather, serve one another through love. For the whole of the law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. But if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not thereby yourself consumed." Gal 5:1-18
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery.

The best season by far,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Smallville - Season 10 [Blu-ray] [2011] [Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Even two years after it finished, I miss SV more then I can say. It was and is the single best TV series to EVER come out of the North American continent. This series closed with a bang and was the perfect way to end things. Thank God we saw Clark become the man of steel. It would have been wrong if that had not happened. The very last scene was genius and I love how parts of the last few scenes echoed the first Christopher Reeve movie (Air Force One being saved etc).
For me, Michael Rosenbaum stole the series even though he was only in the very last episode for about ten minutes. SV was not quite the same after he left in series 7. It was fantastic to see him back where he belonged and more twisted and evil then ever.

Dr.Conrad Murray's Lawyers Rushed Michael Jackson's Trial for Financial Reason
Lawyers representing Dr. Conrad Murray have urged a judge not to delay the upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial into Michael Jackson's death - because they "don't have the budget" for lengthy court proceedings.
The medic stands accused of administering the drug Propofol which killed the King of Pop in June 2009. The case is scheduled to begin on March 24 , but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor could push back the start date of the trial after prosecutors called for a later hearing, according to the Associated Press.
Speaking on Monday, February 28, he said, "I am extremely distressed about the state of this case and whether the defense is prepared for trial and its obligations to Dr. Murray." But Murray's legal team have appealed to Judge Pastor to keep March 24 as the start date - as they are running out of cash.
Defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan pleaded, "We need to go to trial right away. We don't have the budget that would let us draw this out." Reports suggest prosecutors are objecting to the trial start date because they are entitled to receive discovery of defense evidence 30 days before trial starts - a deadline which has already passed. The judge threatened Murray's lawyers with hefty fines for failing to share evidence with prosecutors.
He told the attorneys for the pop icon's personal physician that he would impose the fines or other sanctions on Wednesday, March 2, unless they met their legal obligation to turn over witness statements and expert reports to prosecutors. Meanwhile, the judge has ordered Deputy District Attorney David Walgren to turn over digital photos from Jackson's autopsy as well as all of the surveillance tapes recorded at his home on the day he died.

Lochard Energy (LON:LHD) are starting to look very interesting at the current level of 12p, after Trap Oil (LON:TRAP) announced yesterday it has bought 15% of the North Sea Athena Oilfield from Dyas UK Ltd for £34.5 million pounds. The current market cap of Lochard is approximately £35.3 million at the current share price, and Lochard have a 10% interest in the same asset. Based on the valuation that Trap Oil has placed on the field by acquiring 15% for £34.5 million, it could be argued that Lochards 10% stake could be worth somewhere in the region of £30 million pounds. Now if you add in the cash the company currently has, plus its other assets, the current market cap of £35.3 million is starting to look compelling. The market is waiting for the confirmation that the FPSO is on site, and possibly once they get that, the market could wake up and notice Lochard.Ithaca Energy (LON:IAE) has been a very weak market the last two trading sessions, slipping from just over 200p to its current level of 186p. Ithaca announced on the 23rd of January 'The company notes the recent movement in the Company's share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange and confirms that it has received a confidential, non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company. The proposal is conditional upon, among other things, due diligence, negotiation of all definitive documentation, receipt of all necessary approvals by the interested party and approval of the Board of the Company. The Board of the Company, which is being advised by CIBC World Markets Inc., wishes to stress that discussions are at a preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that the approach will lead to an offer being made for the Company.' The shares have traded as high as 207.25p since the RNS, but the last few sessions have seen the bulletin boards speculate that the potential deal may be off. Obviously with all bulletin board speculation, it must be taken with a large pinch of salt, but until the company give the market another update the shares could continue to wobble.3Leg Resources (LON:3LEG) jumped 10% to 78p during early trading on decent volume after the company said its joint venture partner ConocoPhillips (COP) has exercised its call option to acquire a 70% equity interest in and operatorship over the company's three western Baltic Basin concessions. 2012 exploration program includes a vertical well on one of the three western concessions in the second half of 2012, with the option to drill a horizontal section later. Further testing on one or both of the two existing horizontal wells, Lebien LE-2H and Warblino LE-1H, is still under consideration. Plans for the three eastern Baltic Basin concessions are still under consideration. Three eastern Baltic Basin concessions are to be divested into a new legal entity to be retained by the company under the same terms as the existing Joint Evaluation Agreement. ConocoPhillips will retain the option to acquire a 70% interest in the three eastern concessions, exercisable at any time up until Sept. 30. Seismic acquisition on the southern Poland concessions is now complete; Data has been processed and is currently undergoing interpretation. This news can only add weight to our bullish company view on San Leon Energy (LON:SLE) which were trading 2% better at 12.5p against the back drop of a very weak equities market.Range Resources (LON:RRL) slipped 8% to 14.25p during late morning trading after the company said it has entered into an agreement with the Puntland Government to obtain a 100% working interest in the highly prospective Nugaal Basin Offshore Block and also plans to raise GBP18.75 million via a share placing at 12.5 pence. Block is an extension of the onshore Nugaal Region which has the potential for deltaic deposits from the Nugaal Valley drainage system and comprises over 10,000km. Company will commit to a 2D seismic program within the first three years, with further 3D seismic and an exploration well to follow in the second three year period. Range has committed $5 million, for the tarmac sealing of an Airport Runway in Puntland at the Government's direction. It is Range's intention to offer a participation interest to its joint venture partner, Red Emperor Resources NL (RMP.AU) on terms to be agreed. Shabeel-1 well on the Dharoor Block in Puntland, Somalia is currently at a depth of 2,384 meters and drilling ahead. It is expected that casing will be run at 2400 meters-2700 meters as dictated by the next electrical logging run; target depth remains at 3800 meters.Red Emperor Resources (LON:RMP) slipped 6% to 44.5p before bouncing straight back up to trade flat on the day at 47.5p. Volumes over the last few trading sessions in both have been through the roof, as retail investors continue to speculate about an imminent update from the Puntland drilling programme in Somalia. The selling could have been attributed to the update from Horn Petroleum (CN:HRN) who have a 60% interest in the same asset that said 'Horn Petroleum Corporation reports that the Shabeel-1 well on the Dharoor Block in Puntland, Somalia is currently at a depth of 2,384 metres and is drilling ahead to a planned target depth of approximately 3,800 metres. There are no results to report at this time.'Roxi Petroleum (LON:RXP) jumped 18% to 6.5p during early trading on decent volume after the company said 'the Korean National Oil Corporation has bought a 35% stake in the BNG Contract Area license for about $30 million. Roxi has a 58.41% stake in the license which is estimated to contain over 500 million barrels of oil. The Korean National Oil Corporation has agreed to pay an initial cash consideration of $5 million and will invest a further $25 million in the license work program.' Profit takers did show up to the party during lunchtime trading, knocking the stock back down to 5.5p.Chariot Oil & Gas (LON:CHAR) slipped 5% to 182p during early trading after the company said that it has conditionally placed 18,110,400 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 170 pence per to raise gross proceeds of GBP30.8 million (approximately US$48.7 million). Paul Welch, CEO of Chariot said "We have taken advantage of an opportunity to introduce a major, long-term investor to the register. With cash in hand at the year-end of US$129 million and cost obligations carried on the Kabeljou-1 exploration well, Chariot is fully funded for its immediate work programme. Proceeds from this Placing, therefore, will be used to give us greater headroom for contingencies, allow us to drill an additional deeper target and enable us to fund additional follow up activities. The Board believes this is a prudent move given increasing costs in the oil industry and the current financial markets."The volume in Creon Resources (LON:CRO) caught the eye once again today, with near on 2 million shares changing hands before the end of lunch, and for a stock that frequently does not trade a single share, that was a decent slab of volume. With the size of the prints going through, it would appear a seller may have been taken out. We will be watching the news wires for any holdings or company updates.Xtract Energy (LON:XTR) jumped 18% to 1.3p during lunchtime trading on almost 4 times the average daily volume before the end of lunch. Shares have been under a lot of pressure over the last few trading sessions, falling from 2p to 1p after the company said 'the drilling of the Luna prospect on the 01/11 license is about to be completed, and added that the well didn't encounter hydrocarbons. Luna well objective was to test the overall Rotliegendes play concept over licenses 01/11 and 02/05. Data obtained from drilling the Luna well will be analysed and integrated into the overall Rotliegendes play model covering the two license areas.'Written by Steven Asfour, Sales Trader at Fox-Davies
