A vast stretch of soft pearly white sand, clear blue sky over the enchanting blue waters, and nothing but the fascinating sounds of waves hitting the shores; no, this is not a set from a dream, this is where nature interprets your dream, this is Dreamland Beach, on the southern coast of Bali Island.
Recently dubbed as the New Kuta Beach – a fresh comparison to the already highly popular Kuta Beach, this little piece of paradise is located within the integrated Pecatu Graha Resort complex, at the Bukit Peninsula in the Badung regency, just about 15 minutes from the picturesque Uluwatu Temple. Although sharing a similar name, Dreamland is far from the crowded and vibrant atmosphere of the original Kuta Beach. Instead, the beach offers tranquility and much more exciting waves perfectly fit for advanced surfers.
The once hidden beauty of this coastline was first introduced to the world when the popular pop/rock Band, Michael Learns to Rock shot their musical video clip: Someday in 1996. The beach is mainly highlighted with the soft pearly white sand shore that stretches some 1 kilometer and is considerably cleaner than most beaches in Bali. As any beach at the Bukit Peninsula area, Dreamland is also decorated with beautiful rocky cliffs on its shore which radiate an enchanting atmosphere. The vast stretching shoreline also makes it a perfect place to bask under the tropical sun or to stroll along the indulging sands, or simply sit down and immerse oneself in the dream-like beauty of nature. As daylight slowly fades, the brilliant colors of sunset over Dremland's horizon will surely confirm why this beach got its name.
Among surfers, the waves at the coastline of the Bukit Peninsula are undisputedly legendary, and Dreamland Beach is no exception. The beach features a break with longer left and a short right handers, "surfable" at low to dead low tide and works well when there is an average swell above 3ft coming in. However, when the swell is over 7ft, the waves tend to be unpredictable and close out. The soft, fat waves and deep water make it suitable for the professionals or those with some learning experience behind.
Although it was once a secluded shore with difficult access roads, today Dreamland forms part of the integrated Pecatu Graha Resort complex. The complex currently evolves into an elite resort where luxury hotels and other facilities are being built, offering world-class amenities and services. Among features already operating in the complex are the New Kuta Golf resort, New Kuta Green Park, and the Klapa New Kuta Beach Exclusive Club Restaurant.
To observe some of the fascinating images of Dreamland, you can visit our photo essay: Wide Awake at Dreamland, Bali's New Kuta Beach
There are several accommodation options you can find within the resort and close by. Here is the list of some of the accommodations around Dreamland Beach:

Located at the Bukit Peninsula area, Dremland Beach can be reached from Kuta-Legian area in about 30-40 minutes. From the capital Denpasar, it is roughly about an hour's trip (depending on traffic conditions). From Denpasar or Kuta, take the main south road (Jl Bypass Nusa Dua) which is the only route to the south Bukit Peninsula area. Take this main road south to the junction with Jalan Uluwatu II (the famous McDonald's junction), turn west towards Jimbaran Bay, continue about 2 km and at the four road junction make a sharp left up the hill (signposted for Uluwatu). Follow the road up to Pecatu Village until the main entrance of the Pecatu Graha Resort comes in sight on the right. Enter the resort and follow the road sign directing to New Kuta Beach.

Volume 6 Jena Economic Research Papers 2012-10-15 2012 2007 2012-056 inter-firm cooperation absorptive capacity cognitive distance innovation knowledge spillovers Cooperation can benefit and hurt firms at the same time. An important question then is: when is it better to cooperate. And how can an appropriate partner be selected? In this paper we present a model of inter-firm cooperation driven by cognitive distance, appropriability conditions and external knowledge. Absorptive capacity of firms develops as an outcome of the interaction between absorptive R&D and cognitive distance from voluntary and involuntary knowledge spillovers. Thus, we offer a revision of the original model by Cohen and Levinthal (1989) accounting for recent empirical findings and explicitly modeling absorptive capacity within the framework of interactive learning. We apply that to the analysis of firms' cooperation and R&D investment preferences. While the focus of this paper is limited to a static scenario, where the cognitive distance between cooperating firms is fixed and given exogenously, in Savin and Egbetokun (2012) we address the dynamic approach and provide more extensive simulation results. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2012-10-15T10:07:49.966Z 2012-10-15T10:07:06.154Z

Only Five Interview Questions
by Ford R. Myers - Jul, 2010
Of all the subjects we cover in career management and job search, the one that seems to cause clients the most anxiety is INTERVIEWING. To ease my clients' concerns, I often simplify the topic by reducing it to a handful of basic elements. When you boil it all down, job interviews are made-up of only five statements from the interviewer, which include four questions and one sentence. Sure, you'll be asked more than five que...
Debrief After Your Interview

Consider the following strategies for a comprehensive debrief of your interviews: Interview preparatio...

When you're in a job search, it's important to be crystal clear about the kinds of companies you'd like to work for. Once you have gained this clarity, you'll want to research and identify the names of the companies that meet your search criteria.

Interview Questions You Can Ask
by Ford R. Myers - May, 2010
The most important questions of your interviews might be the ones you ask. In the interview, don't think you're the only one who is "on the spot." It is perfectly acceptable for you to ask questions of the interviewer and to take notes throughout the meeting (which will help you to formulate your questions). When an interviewer asks, "So, do you have any questions for me?" the worst thing you could possibly say is "Nope." In s...

By Lynda Cortés-Avellaneda, NAMI Multicultural Action Center Program Manager
The New Year is moving quickly and February is already nearly half way through. Aside from the arctic weather conditions, the heart-shaped balloons and the Sochi Olympics, this month is a very unique time to recognize and celebrate the significant role of African Americans and their outstanding contributions to the United States throughout history.
In 1926, African American historian and author Carter G. Woodson initiated the celebration of Black History Week, which, unsurprisingly, coincided with the birthdays of abolitionist Frederick Douglass and Civil War President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the year of the nation's bicentennial, the week grew to encompass the entire month. Since then, every U.S. president has officially declared February as Black History Month.
The Significance of February
Many key events in African American history took place in February. Here are just a few:
- W. E. B. Du Bois, civil rights leader and co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was born on Feb. 23, 1868.
- The 15th Amendment was passed on Feb. 3, 1870.
- The first African American senator, Hiram R. Revels took his oath of office on February 25, 1870.
- The NAACP was founded on Feb. 12, 1909.
- After being refused service, a group of African American college students remained in their seats at a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., on Feb. 1, 1960.
- Malcolm X, a prominent Black Nationalism leader, was assassinated on Feb. 21, 1965.
While six points in history are far from capturing the African American struggle for freedom and justice, they are a snapshot of events and people, both known and anonymous, that helped transformed this nation. The process they established continues to challenge our nation's perception of equality and social progress. Hence, the significance of Black History Month lies in looking back and understanding how far we have come to draw the strength and wisdom necessary to move forward.
The Case of Mental Illness
Mental illness, without any further distinction, affects one in four Americans. However, experiences of mental illness vary across cultures and there is a need for improved cultural awareness and corresponding competence in the health care and mental health workforce.
- Social circumstances often serve as an indicator for the likelihood of developing a mental illness. African Americans are disproportionately more likely to experience these social circumstances.
- African Americans are often at a socioeconomic disadvantage in terms of accessing both medical and mental health care.
- Culture biases against mental health professionals and health care professionals in general prevent many African Americans from accessing care, due to prior experiences with historical misdiagnoses, inadequate treatment and a lack of cultural understanding.
- African Americans tend to rely on family, religious and social communities for emotional support rather than turning to health care professionals, even though the latter may at times be necessary. Furthermore, the health care providers they seek may not be aware of this important aspect of African American culture.
- Mental illness is frequently stigmatized and misunderstood in the African American community. African Americans are much more likely to seek help though their primary care doctors as opposed to accessing specialty care.
Sensitivity to African American cultural differences, their unique views of mental illness and propensity towards developing certain mental illnesses, can improve African Americans' treatment experiences and increase their utilization of mental health care services. To learn more, please visit NAMI's African American Resources page.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Researchers say they have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to advance disease-in-a-dish modeling of a rare genetic disorder, ataxia telangiectasia (A-T). The UCLA scientists say their discovery shows the positive effects of drugs that may lead to effective new treatments for the neurodegenerative disease.
A-T patients begin life with neurological deficits that become devastating through progressive loss of function in the cerebellum, which leads to severe difficulty with movement and coordination. A-T patients also suffer frequent infections due to their weakened immune systems and have increased cancer risk. A-T is caused by lost function in a gene, ATM, which normally repairs damaged DNA in the cells and preserves normal function.
Although mouse models are commonly used to study A-T, mice with A-T do not experience the more debilitating effects that humans do. The researchers say it was therefore critical to develop a human neural cell model to understand the neurodegenerative process of A-T and create a platform for testing new treatments.
One of the study leaders, Peiyee Lee, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues used iPSC-derived neural cells developed from skin cells of A-T patients with a specific type of genetic mutation to create a disease-in-a-dish model. The researchers were able to model the characteristics of A-T in the laboratory, such as the cell's lack of ATM protein and inability to repair DNA damage.
The model also allowed the researchers to identify potential new therapeutic drugs, called small molecule read-through (SMRT) compounds, that increase ATM protein activity and improve the model cells' ability to repair damaged DNA.
"A-T patients with no ATM activity have severe disease but patients with some ATM activity do much better. This makes our discovery promising, because even a small increase in the ATM activity induced by the SMRT drug can potentially translate to positive effects for patients, slowing disease progression and hopefully improving their quality of life," says Dr. Lee.
These studies suggest that SMRT compounds may have positive effects on all other cell types in the body, potentially improving A-T patients' immune function and decreasing their cancer susceptibility. Additionally, the patient-specific iPSC-derived neural cells in this study combined with the SMRT compounds may increase scientists' understanding of the development and progression of A-T. This iPSC-neural cell A-T disease model also can be a platform to identify more potent SMRT drugs, notes Dr. Lee. The researchers speculate that the SMRT drugs identified using this model can potentially be applied to most other genetic diseases with the same types of mutation.
The study appears online ahead of print today in the journal Nature Communications. The article is titled "SMRT compounds abrogate cellular phenotypes of ataxia telangiectasia in neural derivatives of patient-specific hiPSCs".

Go back to being a senior in High School and you are the #1 recruit in the country in whatever sport you want.
You are not allowed to go to ISU just to keep the answers different. Where do you go and why? (And what sport)
I'd be an RGIII style quarterback and I'd go to Alabama. My goal would be win four national championships before going pro. Yes I would stay four years just for the legend of it all.
Football, Auburn. So I can get paid.
DMACC, Boone campus. Go Bears.
Football and Miami, no contest!!! Why? It's the U, and I grew up watching them play with their cocky swagger and I loved it.
Central Connecticut State, because I can. Basketball.
Stanford - any sport. ...Actually, decathlon because I'd have a rock-hard body to go with my incredible mind and I would date Penelope Cruz.
USC Football. QB.
Sun, beach and hot women.
Also my dad and grandpa (alumni of USC) grew up a huge USC fan by living in SOCA for most of their lives.
I'd go to play football (QB) for Auburn so I could play for Chizik....oh wait.
Seriously though, Stanford is an amazing school and I would go there in a heart beat. Albert Bandura still teaches there and it would be awesome to listen to his lectures. I don't care what sport. I would be sold on Stanford the minute they called.
"Die rebel scum" - Paul Rhoads
If I follow the instructions and "go back to being a senior in High School" then the answer is quite simple: whichever school offers the best coeds to accompany me on my visit.
Me as an 18 year-old: pootytang > winning NCs and going pro.

I can see the logic in this post and agree.

Football ... THE Ohio State University. Just so I could say it during NFL games.
Running back at Texas.
Austin is a great city with hot girls and chances of going pro if the starting running back at Texas is almost 100%!
I'd probably go play basketball at UNC.
Obviously, it's hard to know how I would react to that but I'm not a huge attention person and I think I would actually go somewhere like ISU where you aren't necessarily such a big deal. That doesn't make sense because it would be a huge deal but I would rather carve my own path sort of like RG3. Maybe somewhere like South FLorida or something like that. High school me probably would have done the Michigan thing. I would probably want to be a QB or linebacker.
This is very important:

One pair of shorts for the whole mountain.
Sure, you'll be able to find various 'all-mountain' shorts with a minimum expenditure of effort. However, we challenge you to find anyone, besides Gore Bike Wear, that devoted an entire subset of its vast apparel line to all-mountain conditions. With the Countdown 2.0 Shorts, Gore took into account all of the precarious variables that the all-mountain rider encounters. And accordingly, these shorts provide unprecedented levels of comfort, flexibility, storage, and durability. Essentially, Gore created one pair of shorts for every part of the mountain.
While many shorts that bear the self-appointed 'all-mountain' classification are constructed from materials like Cordura or other stuffy and stiff fabrics like it, Gore used entirely different approach for the Countdown 2.0. Instead, Gore opted for a 100% nylon composition, ensuring the utmost in breathability, moisture management, and freedom of movement. This isn't to say that the shorts are flimsy, far from it. Instead, you'll find varying thicknesses of nylon traced along the shorts. The lighter areas are focused at points of heavy articulation like the knees, quad panels, and hips. Meanwhile, the thicker compositions are targeted at points of abrasion like inner- and outer-legs and the seat panel. Collectively, the design strikes the ideal balance between strength and purpose.
However, Gore wasn't finished with this ideology after it selected the fabric. Instead, a special focus was placed on both fit and construction. Starting with the latter, these shorts feature shifted seams that move the seams away from the locomotion of the legs. Accordingly, your legs aren't confronted with the seams during the pedaling motion, and thus, chafing as a result of movement is eliminated. Furthermore, the cut of the shorts lends itself to further reducing abrasion by essentially being pre-shaped to the cycling position. In simpler terms, the shorts are cut on a contour in order to adapt to your position in the saddle. So, while you move, the shorts move with you, not against you.
Securing this fit is a partially elastic waistband and a concealed front zipper. There are also belt loops sewn into the waist, should you choose to don a belt on your ride. Additionally, the interior of the shorts feature a simple-to-use tape and snap system to secure a pair of Gore liner shorts.
For storage of your ride essentials, the Countdown 2.0 includes two front hand pockets, two Velcro side pockets, and zippered rear security pocket. Gore has also included reflective accents throughout the shorts in order to increase your visibility to motorists or fellow trail-users in low-light conditions.
The Gore Bike Wear Countdown 2.0 Shorts are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black and Graphite Grey/black.

Reviews & Community
Great fit and light material
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: L
I really enjoy getting this shorts. Light material, roomy on the leg area and good pocket placement.
Best shorts yet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Picked up the Countdown 2.0 shorts in January. An off season bargain for $37.
Previously I've been wearing Endura Singletrack shorts the last couple of seasons and while these aren't made of the heavy material the Endura shorts are I've had no reliablility problems after about 50 rides. For hot weather riding the are definitely better than the Enduras. I find the fit to be slim and comfortable . I am 5'11'' and weight about 170 and have the medium size. The pockets work well but the standard for pockets is set by the Endura Humvee and Single track shorts with large volume pockets on the back of the thighs. Countdown 2.0 shirts - highly recommended.
Great shorts at an even better price!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been using a pair of these shorts for about a year now with no issues what so ever. The fit is true to size and there are enough pockets to handle my needs. The length is just about right for my tastes and the legs stay out of the way when pedaling. No snagging on the saddle either even if I don't use a dropper.
I'm a big fan of the rear pocket just below the waist. I normally keep my car keys in there instead of one of the leg pockets. I hate having anything heavy in the leg pockets because I can feel it when pedaling.
One feature that I'd like to see added is a tacky strip on the inner waist of the short. When I wear these over a set of bibs they tend to slip down more than I like. This is an issue with just about every set of shorts on the market and is not a knock on these. It's just something I'd like all short manufacturers to add to their shorts.
I have a few pairs of MTB shorts, but decided to splurge and buy some of these, since GORE is supposedly known for good quality. I rode one time for 3 hours and there is a hole in the crotch. I just don't understand why the cost is so high when the durability is so low. Maybe I got a bad pair, but I doubt it.

Reviews for Creamy Vegetable Chowder
"This was amazing however it was too spicy for us, next time I will omit the hot sauce."
"To make this vegan I woud substitute the half & half with unsweeened almond milk."
"I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to pick some brains. I'd like to make this vegan. Assuming leaving out the bacon, does anyone have thoughts about using coconut milk instead of cream? Looking forward to seeing responses. Thanks!"
"This recipe is awesome. As previous posters suggested, I halved the cayenne just in case. It was perfect for us. I made it vegetarian by substituting butter for the bacon drippings and vegetable stock for the chicken broth (trying to do vegetarian 1-2 days a week), I also added 3/4 cup grated Asiago cheese along with the cream. After sauteing the onions, carrots and celery, I threw everything except the cream and cheese in the slow cooker and let it cook 7 hours on low for a delicious and incredibly satisfying dinner. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks so much for posting it."
"Delicious, filling and satisfying. It was very light too. Loved it. We halved the spices and I think I'll try full spice next time. Great with biscuits. Thanks Suzanna!"

Full SubmissionAchievement of Sustainable Development through Green Growth (First note, very preliminary) Sung Jin Kang Department of Economics Korea University 1. Background The most important source of climate change faced by mankind has been known to be global warming from accumulation of greenhouse gases rather than any other causes. The mass production system which was conducted by fossil fuel-based economic development strategy since the Industrial Revolution had led to huge emission of greenhouse gases which lead to range beyond natural self-capacity to absorb them and then to the climate change. Even this traditional economic development strategy will not be possible in the future. This is because the fossil fuel as a main factor to development will be exhausted. Thus this will be a burden to the next generation and this burden leads to a difficulty for sustainable development. It is inevitable for currently developing countries to continue economic development strategy to reduce poverty and improve income distribution. This is because relative higher rate of population growth of developing countries tends to increase international poverty rate and thus the countries with higher poverty rate do not want to stop their economic growth strategy. Climate change affects not only individual quality of life through human health but also national security of island countries through higher seawater level. The more important problem for developing countries is the climate change policies conducted by developed countries. After developed countries are ready to adopt environment-friendly production process, they will start to enforce developing countries to follow their production methods and then impose additional trade barrier policy if developing countries intend to export non-eco-friendly produced goods. Therefore sustainable development will not be possible if developing countries give up using current energy-intensive production strategies. There are several issues in following green growth strategies. First, it is well-known that green growth strategy which shows win-win strategy between economic growth and environment should be based on market-based instruments such as cap-and-trade and market price of various energies. In this case there is possibility of worsening income distribution and poverty which are from market failure or disadvantage of market mechanism. This is not restricted to the domestic people. The most efficient way to adopt eco-friendly production strategy is through huge investment on green technologies in the long run. The efficient use of energy or energy saving is the goal we can achieve in the short run. Therefore the difference in the investment capacity between developed and developing countries can lead to widening income gap among them. Second, job creation effects of green growth policies should be carefully estimated. This is because green growth policies will crowd out the jobs in the brown sectors by shifting them to green sectors. Furthermore green growth policies create new jobs by expanding the size of green industries. Finally, developing countries are worrying about possibly widening income gap with developed countries. Therefore international cooperation through technology transfer and financial support is necessary to keep sustainable development of developing countries. The green growth policy proclaimed by the Korean government is more persuasive than the climate change policies conducted by many developed countries. This is because developing countries are eager to keep their economic growth and the green growth policies consider how we can continue economic growth by shifting current energy-intensive to eco-friendly production strategy. One way to persuade developing countries to join the international movement toward green growth strategy is to use foreign aid toward more eco-friendly production process. To implement this foreign aid, new terminology is defined. This is called green growth ODA. The sectors that help eco-friendly production should be added to the sectors of environment and renewable energies. 2. Current Discussion on the Environment by AICESIS The previous AICESIS meetings that discuss the issues on sustainable development with environment focused on how to achieve sustainable development status. New development paradigm is how to keep economic and social development subject to keeping the balance of natural resources. The report Intensify international cooperation, Promoting joint development, Building a harmonious world released at the Beijing meeting in 2007 suggested various international cooperative policies to achieve harmonious world through sustainable development. Among various indicators that reflect the different facets of development, environmental policies in addition to education and healthcare are also one of the important factors to improve wellbeing. The cost to implement environmental policies will be modest when it is compared with the long run benefits from these policies. The final report on the topic Development with Equity and Environmental Responsibility which was released at the Hungary meeting in 2009 as the report on the main working group topic for 2007-2009 suggests to solve the climate change problems in the range that guarantee sustainable development. The harmony between economic growth and social development is necessary only on the condition of keeping natural balance. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to expand the usage of renewable energy and promote investment on ecological research and innovation. The report titled as The Role of ESCs in the new global economic, social and environmental governance� at the Italy meeting in 2009 contended that the state and civil society should feel jointly responsible for bringing about sustainable development. Sustainable development includes �models of production, consumption and distribution of income and wealth that are compatible with respect for the world's ecosystem, energy networks that facilitate the transition to green economies, food security, and the reduction of inequalities between and within countries� (p. 11). Many international institutions such as UN, OECD and EU etc. have much interest in environmental sustainability that evaluates economic and environmental state and leads to guide priority targeting, effective monitoring and evaluation of policy effectiveness. In particular, by using the indicators used in public and private sectors, social networks and national and international research institutes, the effects on natural resources of human behavior should be carefully examined. For example, Eurostat has already devised a set of indicators for monitoring environmental sustainability which is followed by the European Sustainable Development Strategy. And the Brazilian Economic and Social Development (CDES) has much interests in making energy matrices for sustainable development which is based on biofuels and their impacts of agri-forestry production. The final objective to make energy matrices is in transiting into green economy through combining various policies such as tax and incentives to promote renewable energy sources (solar, wind, biomass), and incentives to start up new businesses for creating green jobs in all sectors (Agriculture, forests, livestock farming, industry, construction, transport, services). These policies should be undertaken through substantial investment in Research and Development and the establishment of networks connecting institutes and universities in different countries (refer to p.12). 3. Green Growth and Sustainable Development 3.1 Green Growth and Sustainable Development Green growth proclaimed by the Korean government in 2008 is very evolutionary and comprehensive economic development strategy. It considers economic growth strategies in addition to various climate change policies which are similar to those by developed countries. Green growth seeks win-win strategy between economic and environment. Green growth definition should be differentiated from other similar definitions such as sustainable development (WCED, 1987), Eco-efficient (WBCSD, 1992, 2000), Green Economy(UNEP, 2010), Shared Growth (WB) and Pro-poor Growth etc. The sustainable development defined by WCED in 1987 is defined as follows. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore sustainable development indicates virtuous relation among economic growth, social development and environment. Green growth strategy should be interpreted as dynamic and evolutionary development strategy to achieve sustainable development. But it is only necessary condition. At national level, social welfare policy should be used simultaneously to support poor group and improve social development. Furthermore, at international level, international cooperation is necessary for developing countries to catch up with the developed countries. 3.2 Lessons from Green Growth Polices of Various Countries This section reviews various green growth policies of major countries. Through considering various lessons from these policies, productive policy recommendations will be derived and important messages for the 2012 Rio+20 with the main topic �Green Economy� will be included. Green growth policy which South Korea proclaimed in 2008 begins with the hypothesis that there is a virtuous relationship, not trade-offs, between environment and economic growth. Green growth is defined as a national development strategy that seeks to change overall lifestyle and economic and industrial structures into low-carbon, environment-friendly structures and enhance the quality of life by using through green technologies, energy saving and efficient use of energy (Presidential Council for Future and Vision, Feb., 2009). The green growth policy consists of 3 strategies and 10 policies based on a vision of becoming the world as nd 57 strong green country by 2020 and 2050, respectively. Three strategies are adaptation to climate change and energy independence, a strategy for economic growth such as new growth engine and greening of current industries, and policy direction to enlarge the role of South Korea in the international community. This is why the green growth strategy is called to be comprehensive and evolutionary. In addition to green growth policies, South Korean government enforces the Human New Deal which is a comprehensive social welfare program to get virtual relationship between social development and economic growth. Through combining green growth and human new deal policies, South Korean government intends to achieve sustainable development. The recent initiatives by the European Union (EU) that had taken the impacts of climate change most seriously were the Energy and Climate Change Package in January, 2007 (EU Commission) and Climate Action and Renewable Energy Package (CAREP), 2008, Energy Efficiency Plan 2011. This plan originated from an informed need to achieve a goal newly set by the EU Commission that judged some 50% of the target 20% to have been met. The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) which was submitted in March, 2009 by the Obama Administration included a renewable electricity requirement to each electricity provider by 6% and 25% of electricity production from renewable sources by 2012 and 2020, respectively. Japan announced various initiatives, including �Cool -EaInnovrthative Energy Technology Program� (May, 2007), �Fukuda Vision (June, 2008), �Action Plan for Achieving Low-Carbon Society� (July, 2008), and �Green Economy and Social Reform (April, 2009), etc. And it announced �LFeragmewisloratik Aon ct on of Globathe l Warming (draft)� in Mar ch, 2010. China has also tried to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Major policies include the Renewable Energy ofLa thew People�s Republic of China� (2006), which was amended in 2009, the �Medium- and Long-term Program for Renewable Energy� (August, 2007), the �Renewable Energy P lan Deforve lopthe 11ment Five-year Period� (March, 2008) and �Chinas Policies and Actions for Adaptation to Climate Change� (October, 2008). Green growth policies enforced by developed countries focus relatively on efficient use of energies and mitigation of or adaption to climate change. However, those by developing countries aim to promote economic growth and create new jobs through eco-friendly production process and thus catch up with developed countries. 4. Tasks and Direction of Green Growth and Sustainable Development 4.1 Green Growth and Job Creation The final target of green growth policies is in creating green jobs, especially decent green jobs. However, two important issues should be carefully considered. First, green growth policies will lead to reshuffling of current job structures. The jobs in brown industries will shrink while those in green industries will expand. Therefore an increase of green jobs should be counted as net job creation. Second, in order to expect possible creation of new green jobs, the impact of green growth policies on economic growth and change of industrial structure should be estimated. Especially, the definition of green technologies, green industries and green jobs are followed as well. NRCS(2011) conducted the classification of green technologies, industries and jobs and then estimated of green growth policy in Korea on GDP, employment and green jobs. 4.2 Green Growth and International Cooperation Developing countries argue that developed countries are more responsible for current accumulation of greenhouse gases and therefore current climate changes. Furthermore they think that the climate change policies enforced by the developed countries might lead to worsening income gap. Therefore developed countries need to play an important role in improving quality of life of developing countries through technology transfers and financial support. Refer to recent international meeting on climate change issues. Independently of financial support through new financing, developed countries spend more foreign aid on green growth related sectors. The foreign aid related to green growth is defined as Green Growth ODA (Kang, 2011) which is beyond a simple range of environment-related sectors. The country with the highest ratio of Green Growth ODA to total ODA is Japan(37%) in 2009. That ratio of Japan was 42.5%(2000), 22.3%(2006) and 33.2%(2008). And others are Spain(29.5%), Germany(23.0%), and Denmark(17.8%) in 2009. For Korea, the ratio of Green Growth ODA was 27.7% in 2008. And the GGGI(Global Green Growth Institute) which was established in 2010 plays an important role through knowledge sharing of green growth economic plan experience for developing countries. The 2010 G20 meeting in Seoul, adopts the Seoul Development Consensus for Shared Growth as development agenda. 6. Policy Recommendations 7. Conclusion

Romina Rasmussen
Les Madeleines, 216 E. 500 South, SLC, 801-355-2294
Rasmussen's fantasy is a magical take on a croquembouche, the traditional French wedding cake constructed of bite-sized cream puffs stacked into a tall cone. She colored the molten sugar and interspersed red sugar globes among the cream puffs. Built on a base of red sugar and lit from below, the creation takes on a fantastical quality, suitable for the season, and very atypical of Romina's usual decorating style.
Tips From the Chef:
Go for a geometric design. Instead of squiggling melted chocolate on top of a cookie, makes neat lines with a pastry bag.
Dots, small and precisely placed, are another way to add decoration simply.
Exact multiples enhance displays of cookies and bars.
Use shaped scoops to get away from the usual rounds. Rasmussen's coconut macaroons are made with a cube scoop and dipped diagonally in chocolate.

It's not that I don't enjoy my life here at home, in the cold, in the gloom. It's just that it's not fair that in some places, it looks like this year round. Why don't I live HERE?
Cabo San Lucas was...amazing. Enchanting. Warm, beautiful, seductively captivating. I didn't want to come back. Except...alas, I missed my babies.
But other than that, I was ready to become a citizen. I think I forgot my phone number, my bank account number, my social security number, and practically my name. I actually learned to speak spanish fluently. My name is now Lila, pronounced Leela, (long e for the i). I eat catus now. It's pretty good.
Here are a few more shots of why I didn't want to come home:
The pool where I spent many hours reading New Moon (again). And below, the view down to the beach from the terrace. Ohhhh...
Since I didn't have access to any of my files while I was there, I couldn't get any work done. (Darn.) So I have spent just about every waking moment since I've been back on the Snazzy Bag pattern for you folks to be able to try out. It's almost done now. Just a few little tweaks.
But it's really hard to concentrate on working, when all I want to do is imagine myself back there.
This is the pizza that I had for breakfast one morning. Then I went for a very long walk on the beach. Very long.
That's me having a delicious Diet Coke in Cabo. It tastes better there.
And By the way...what's up with my frizzed out hair? Humidity and I are not friends.
I know this is probably getting boring for ya'll. Sorry. I'll get back to work now. But can you blame me?I just want to thank my dear friends Jackie and Kirk for inviting Hal and I to their unbelievably breathtaking home in Cabo for an entire week. (Here they are, basking in the rays on the beach.)
We couldn't have had more fun, or have been to a more perfect location. It was divine. I owe you guys BIG time.
I could make Jackie another Juicy knockoff...but somehow I don't think that quite cuts it.

Oh, you lucky duck! We love Cabo, and should have gone there last month for our vacation instead of Walt Disney World!
Where do you stay? We stay at the Sol Mar or Playa Grande, and this looks similar.
Thanks for posting. It looks like heaven compared to all this snow!

Wow, I'm totally jealous. I was desperately trying to convince my husband that we should go there for our vacation this year, but I gave up. I did get a nice spa retreat, but no beautiful weather and ocean like that...

The country is in the throes of a recession and the real estate market is in an undeniable slump, but you'd never know it by looking at Evergreen Realty.
The company hired more than 230 employees during the past 12 months, and expects to continue hiring at a rate of 20 per month in the coming year.
The draw: flexibility and support for their brokers, who mostly work from home and pay a flat fee to the agency instead of the traditional split commission.
Thanks to glowing reviews from employees, Evergreen was named the top Orange County workplace in the large company category. CEO Randy Rector was named the winner in the leadership for large companies category.
Over and over, employees cited "support" in the form of ongoing training as a favorite perk at Evergreen. Another major draw: a lack of "pressure."
"I am open to doing my job at my own pace without management pushing me," said one employee surveyed. "I also feel that if I do need management that they will always be there for me."
Tina Rector founded the company in 1996 with that goal in mind.
"We allow our agents to be free, rather than dictate what they should do," said Rector, who founded the company at age 50. While she remains active in the company, her son Randy Rector now oversees day-to-day operations as CEO.
Tina Rector said just one other Southern California brokerage was using the flat fee structure when she founded her business, and her novel business model faced a lot of skepticism. But she was undeterred.
"I really believed in what I was doing," she said. "We banked on sales volume and not giving our agents the baggage of quotas and minimums. Flexibility is key, and it allows our agents to spend their time on clients."
For home sales of $200,000 or less, the agent pays Evergreen $500. On transactions of more than $200,000, the flat fee is $995. No exceptions to the rule, even for the agent who earned the brokerage's record commission of $149,000.
The company, which has offices in Irvine, Brea, San Clemente, San Diego and Upland, also offers brokers free training seminars on topics including mortgage lending and contracts. Learning opportunities are available biweekly, and mentors with decades of real estate expertise are just a phone call away.
The tough real estate market has meant high turnover, with many agents taking a break or walking away from the business altogether. But that same tumult means that more and more agents have been drawn to Evergreen, where "all the agents are on an equal level," Tina Rector said.
"We're never negative about the (real estate) market," Tina Rector said. "Other brokerages will push agents to produce, rather than helping them."
The Irvine-based real estate brokerage had its best year in 2009, with upwards of $400 million in sales and more than 1,200 closed transactions. Company executives predict a 30 percent increase for 2010; Evergreen brokers are on track for $520 million in sales and 1,500 transactions, said CEO Randy Rector.
Evergreen Realty is the fifth-largest brokerage in Southern California and one of the largest woman-owned businesses in Orange County.
Randy Rector said a big social media push is underway, as Evergreen Realty tries to decipher how to get Gen Y members interested in real estate. One possibility: tweeting still-unpublished new home listings. The company also plans to franchise its business model, and hopes to expand throughout California and possibly east.
"We're creating a paradigm shift in the real estate industry," Randy Rector said. "Real estate is changing so the big question is: Where do we want to go from here?"

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
I bought Lupe's $50 dollar bundle, just saying. Lolz and my favorite song is with him and Skylar Grey "Words I Never Said."
Hip-hop saved my life, besides lyrics and beat being amazing, it tells a great story about how hip hop can inspire people to work hard. Also shows that even with all the criticism that hip hop music gets it can actually be one of the most positive influences in someones life.
favorite all time is the instrumental cuz its just so sick. it flows so well and just has a great feel. but my favorite off lasers is probably i dont wanna care right now. its a good change of pace for lu.
My favorite Lupe Song is Little Weapon. Lupe and Bishop G both have perfect verses. This song just really opens up my eyes to what's going on in some other countries about kid soldiers and then also, Bishop G's verse about Video Games and the reality that goes on in other countries is just amazing. This song really is an eye opener for a kid like me.
Favorite Song: Hip Hop Saved My Life Reason: The story telling on that song is crazy! You can almost picture Lupe's words come to life with every lyric he spits and just envision the struggle of that aspiring artist in the song. The fact that he also talks about "Texas" my home state has that much more of an impact on me. Ive been a Lupe Fiasco fan since the beginning and it was tough to just choose one song as my favorite because all of his songs are FIRE! We need a Lupe Fiasco concert down here in San Antonio ASAP! #Lasers all day! Word!
"Dumb It Down" is my favorite because it's the first song that I really listened to and made me a Lupe fan. I loved how he responded to all the naysayers trying to make him change who he is as an artist and a person. I love even more that he sticks to hsi beliefs and brings us more eye opening songs like "Words I Never Said".
Much More and that's because he said my only enemy is my inner me and that right there is the realest quote i live by. you should only be in a battle with yourself
Gotta Eat. It showcases Lupe's incredible lyrical abilities, plus I just enjoy the memory of when it dawned on me that it could be about food as well.
All Black Everything, it really expresses Lupes intelligence and shows how corrupt our world is, real shit unlike most of Hip Hop nowadays.
My favourite Lupe song ever ... is "He Say, She Say". When I heard that song the first time, it was almost like my story. My dad left us and never came back. I don't know anything and I had so many things to say to him. Untill now, I always listen to the song and see myself in that. It shows me not to become like him and to be a much better father to my childrens. On Lasers it is "Beautiful Lasers (2 Ways)", because to my girlfriend that I love. She showed me that their is true love in this world and I love her ... specially when I heard this line from the song "My heart been broke for a while, Yours been the one keeping me alive" I knew LASERS is my generation of thought. Thank you Lupe for everything, I role with you since the mixtapes from Farenheit untill your albums and now this new generation. We are not Losers ... we are LASERS ;) FNF UP Peace & Much Love
Favorite Song: Little Weapon Why: Because it speaks about a problem that the general public doesn't know about. People using children as weapons. Kids with guns, kids in the city, kid soldiers in Africa, and kids in shooting up schools.
My favorite song by Lupe Fiasco is Daydreamin'. It's a nostalgic type of a song, it's catchy & the lyricism is great. It's like a summer song you can just kick back and listen to it. It's awesome that Lupe can have a song like that, then drop other more serious songs. It's a great mix.
Kick Push II...the reason...kick push II is a very inspirational song to me and has taught me that just because i am surrounded my negative things..does not mean that i cant be the positive in the midst of the negative influences...and to really appreciate my life and friends..because when my family isnt acting like a family..its always my friends that hold me down.
-Dumb it Down- Hands down best one. It not only is TRUTHFUL, the Metaphors really pack a punch. David Blaine, make it rain, make a boat, I make a plane Then I pull the plug and I make it drain Until I feel like flowing and filling it up again -McCall
My favorite song is "Intruder Alert" because of the story it tells. I may not have been through similar experiences as the song expresses, but the emotions in the song are so real. The music and the lyrics are beautifully simple. One of the things I appreciate most about Lupe is his ability to be honest in his lyrics and tell a story even when the listener my not hear it at first. He is a diverse lyricist and this is one of my favorite examples of that.
Too many to pick one, top three off the top of my head are: Real- good message, vicious lyrics, nice beeat The Cool- I love the story telling of it, I see the story in my head when I listen to it. i love the...I was about to quote my favorite line, but its all too good. I'm Beaming- love the message! the video is tight. the beat is where its at.
CHECK THIS SONG I WROTE I SWEAR TO GOD IMMA MAKE IT CHI TOWN! chor this is my life, ive made my MIND UP signed up for this RIDE WAS ready for whats LINED UP this is my life, ive made my MIND UP chose the path less traveled tearin down each warning SIGN UP this is my life, ive made my MIND UP im already half way up the toughest side to CLIMB UP this is my life, ive made my MIND UP ya this is my life, so im who I TRUST v1 this is my life n im lovin every minute finally my time to shine, now just for sum recognition everyones betting against me so im shovin every chip in cuz little do they know anthony strucks that one in a billion i was stuck n empty feelin like, fuck it imma kill him then i seen this preminition i was drunk n spendin millions tacklin the game dont need to summon kevin williams cuz chances are youll crash like sets of drums wit seven cymbals im sumthin like a pilgrim, this reservations mine whats insides been fixed up time to restorate the shine confidence is risin high as elevatin rhymes youll neva bend or break my stride its hella devestation time i could smell a hataz lie, you could tell first place is mine before the revelation you will see this separation bind neva eva traced a line so imma sell this great design well you say im crazy right? i guess john wayne gacys alive v2 ya im on the come up n guess what, yall cant stop this n ya i write my own shit, fuck a telepromter consider this a dialect, whos grammars improper? one day imma buy a jet flown in by helicoptor bust my stones ill rock ya youll dread it like a rasta rockstar in the making, im just waitin on the lifestyle catchin up wit my dream like im chasin down a fat girl; if you take offense to that, well go swim some laps girl im doin wat they wish they could, thats why they hatin me thats ok ya bitch im good, no need to make a scene i wouldnt change a thing because, all the hatin makes me famous they sit there n make shit up, while i make arrangements ..couldnt fit last 4 lines!!
Superstar is my favorite song by Lupe Fiasco. The reason? it's catchy & the lyricism is great. Anything by Lupe is mad good.
Hurts Me Soul. I love the introspective contemplation on the state of hip hop embodied in that song.
Hard to choose just one, but "Daydreamin'" is probably my all-time fav. Great lyrics, great hook, great everything.
hip hop saved my life!!! its the perfect story of a rap star who tries hard to get out of the hood and in the end he ends up going back to his old ways! it kinda shows how hard it is to be an artist in this day an age the fast pace McDonald world we live in!
all time fav lupe song has got to be hurt me soul...incredible lyrics...great flow...and the meaning behind the song is amazing! honorary mention: intruder alert-
fave song= kick push II .. love it cuz it reminds me of good times. before i knew my fiance would be my fiance, we'd ride around bumpin lupe and skating around town. Now we're doing it all over again! you thank for push kick ;)
Beautiful Lasers (2ways) when I heard that song performed live in Dallas,TX it really moved me, gave me hope that if someone such as Lupe goes through these trials and tribulation but come out in top of this struggle than there is hope for myself and others. If it wasn't for that song I honestly wouldn't be alive right now, at one point of my life I attempted to take my own life. These words these, these lyrics really guided me through my darkest hours such as music did for Lupe. - John 1st&15th FNF!
Gotta be a tie between "Little Weapon" and "Words I never Said." The music and meaningful lyrics in both of these songs are awesome!
Hurt Me Soul is his best song (even though all of them are great) because he speaks the truth, and nobody else has the guts to do that. People can also relate to what he's saying in this song.

I've watched canning , thats about as close as I've come to it . Think I will try the freezer thing , can't hurt . Maybe a few zip-locks full of rice , oatmeal , then just stick it on a shelf outside and see how it does .

Freebore, what about simple off the shelf supplies ? say a year's worth max. i've never been able to find how long this stuff is good for. the codes on the cans are not for the consumer.
on a side note, i once read hot dogs in a landfill lasted 10 years !!:rofl:

Last weekend i ate a full serving of hamburger helper - from 15yrs ago! it tasted a little funny, but i didn't get sick!
Went like this, 'dood, you didn't just make that hamburger helper.. uhmm yea i did, why? It was from my old trailer, its gotta be 15yrs old" lol.
Here is a link to one of the 'definitive' Food storage FAQs on the internet, by Alan T. Hagan :
It has very detailed info on what to store, how to preserve and package it for long-life , and what the safe shelf lives are for all categories of food types. Highly recommended! :thumbup1:
I'm thinking, and willing to risk that canned goods are good for much longer than their advertised shelf lives. I would risk using other sealed/preserved food sources like MRE's that have passed shelf life if they don't exhibit the common signs of spoilage, like swelled cans/packaging, obvious odor or rot/discoloration. I am not an expert, and only state what I would do!! Did anyone watch the recent History Channel program on "How Things are Made", and they showed the food cannind industry, and the background history of it? I remember that it was said that a near 200 year old can of veal was fed to labratory rats with no noted ill effect. It was also noted that canned goods seem to preserve more nutritional value than what has been recently believed.
Interesting website, thanks for sharing. :)Quote:

Today we have oxygen absorbers that would probably work better (no condensation issues) along with a silica gel packet for any excess moisture. Plastic buckets are permeable, so storing them in the garage next to your gas cans might be a bad idea. Most of the commercial packers I've seen either use large steel cans or put a mylar bag inside their plastic buckets to address this issue.
I visited my parents a few years back when they were renting an older house. Down in the basement some home canned green beans were sitting up on the foundation wall. Except for the rusty caps they were in good shape, vacuum was holding and the beans looked green and fresh! My Father mentioned that he had asked the owner how old they were. The owner did not know exactly, he said they were there when he had purchased the house back in 1975 and he had been afraid to move them fearing they would explode. Still there as far as I know.

So during an interview on CNN, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus called Gary Johnson a "non-factor" in the upcoming Presidential election and also stated that voters would be smart enough not to "throw their vote away" by voting for a 3rd party candidate. This man's extreme arrogance is just further proof of how the Republican Party really feels about Libertarians. A non-factor Mr. Priebus? We shall see about that. You just lit a fire under this Colorado voter.

Those of you who attended UCF in the last 15 years and also drank beer should remember The Liquid Cellar. I saw many a local band there while enjoying an all-you-can-drink something or another during my college years.
Well the space is opening back up on Friday night and is now called Fubar. Co-owner Matt Merdian says it's a different concept from its predecessor but they still pay a tiny tribute to The Liquid Cellar by hanging the original sign over the bar.
The name, an acronym that originated in the military and can't be repeated here (those of you squeamish about language do not click), is also the theme for much of the décor in the bar that has pictures defining the name in their own fun way and "Top" lists throughout the bar in honor of the name. Also adding to the decoration are the UCF fraternities and sororities that were asked to help design the bar top with the help of a graffiti artist that was flown in from Miami. That kind of scares me, I keep imagining the bar to look like a homecoming float. How about you?
According to Merdian, Fubar will have a menu that is all handmade, no frozen fries or burgers reheated and offer drink specials during the evening. Unlike the old space, he wants to stay away from local bands and focus on DJ-related nights spinning electronica and mashup.
To see the new bar for yourself go to the grand-opening party starting at 9 p.m. on Friday night. Cover is free at first but increases throughout the evening depending on time and folks in the door. It will max at $10. There will be free drinks, drafts and shots all night.
Fubar is at 12233 University Blvd. in Orlando and is open from 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. daily.
