I've been trying to get this question answered all over the place; I've had a couple people tell me the answer is no, but not anything that feels like it is a definite no.
Firstly, I should probably start by saying that I want the three Gold/Silver/Crystal starter Pokemon in my Pearl game. I do have Emerald, but it just seems to be such a waste to have to finish the Hoenn-dex, get one of them, restart, finish the Hoenn-dex a second time, get the next one, restart, finish the Hoenn-dex a THIRD time, get the last one and be done with it.
And no, I don't have any other friends who play Pokemon anymore. Besides my boyfriend, whom I live with, and whom plays Emerald, I have no-one offline with whom I could possibly trade with.
Now, I want these Pokemon but I don't want to have to trade over a website because I have no experience with such things. I want to get them over the GTS in my Pearl game.
Is there any way I can add these three Pokemon to my "Seen" Pokedex list so that I can do this? Is it possible to battle over Wifi with someone who has these Pokemon and have them added to my "Seen" list that way?

Twenty years after the Earth Summit much has been done to address the environmental and development challenges identified in 1992. However, many of the challenges still exist, others have grown more acute and new issues have emerged. It is clear that progress needs to be more comprehensive and effective.
The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) in June 2012 in Brazil is an opportunity to reinvigorate efforts towards sustainable development through an international renewal of political commitment that highlights the economic importance of the sustainable use of natural resources and raises awareness of the economic and social costs of environmental damage and its associated impact on human well-being.
The Government of Canada's approach to sustainable development emphasizes transparency and accountability in the integration of sustainability into government planning, reporting, programming and decision-making within the federal government. The cornerstone to this approach is Canada's Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS), which is an integrated, whole-of-government, results-based approach to achieve sustainability. A key component of the FSDS is the effective monitoring and reporting on goals and targets using indicators in order to track effectively and report on progress. The Government of Canada considers sustainability issues through its Cabinet Committee structure. Canada has many national institutions that address various aspects of sustainable development and that are part of the overall supportive framework for sustainable development in Canada.
Over the last ten years, Canada has provided important contributions to the efforts of developing countries towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Canadian development assistance has been significantly increased and Canada is working to make its assistance more effective, accountable and responsive to the needs and priorities of developing countries. Canada doubled its international assistance from 2001 to 2010, with assistance to Africa doubling from 2003/04 to 2008/09. Canada has been a first-mover on announcing and disbursing against its 2009 G8 L'Aquila Summit commitments to support sustainable agricultural development. As of April 2011, Canada has fully disbursed its $1.18 billion L'Aquila commitment and is the first G8 country to do so. Canada has launched significant new initiatives to support maternal, newborn and child health (the 2010 G8 Muskoka Initiative), education and food security in developing countries, with a clear focus on sustainability of effort and impacts.
A critical component of Canada's Aid Effectiveness Agenda in support of the Paris Declaration is ensuring that aid is effective, accountable and responsive to the needs and priorities of its developing country partners. One means of achieving this is through the establishment of gender equality, governance and environmental sustainability as cross-cutting themes that are integrated into development assistance.
Canada believes that countries need to focus and strengthen efforts on the management of their natural resources in a sustainable and socially responsible manner. These efforts should include policies that improve natural resource management, environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
Particular attention should be given to assisting countries that face significant capacity challenges. Canada has taken a leadership role in corporate social responsibility (CSR) by launching in 2009 its CSR Strategy for the Canadian extractive sector operating abroad. The Strategy includes support for host country resource governance capacity-building initiatives such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative; endorsement and promotion of widely-recognized international CSR performance guidelines such as the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights; and the creation of the Office of the Extractive Sector CSR Counsellor.
Part I ? Conference Objective
Securing renewed political commitment for sustainable development is in the interest of all countries. Sustainable development requires conscious effort, priority and planning at all levels in order to be effective. National priorities need to support and align with local action and actors in order to achieve tangible results. In Canada's view, this requires a focus on practical steps for implementation which avoid duplication and overlap, harness broad support internationally and make a difference in the lives of citizens.
The Conference can help make the case that a transition to a green economy can be consistent with the environmental, economic and social objectives underpinning sustainable development and poverty eradication. Canada sees the Conference as an opportunity to identify (a) policy tools and best practices to facilitate the transition and (b) a balanced suite of voluntary indicators for measuring progress towards a green economy. The Conference could also propose practical strategies to improve the existing institutional framework for sustainable development, with the objective of enhancing coherence and co-ordination, while reducing inefficiency and duplication. With the current global economic situation, priority needs to be given to the effective use of existing resources for sustainable development, and improving the quality and effectiveness of programs, more than ever. Canada would like the outcome document to be strategic, concise and focused on highlighting progress on the two Conference themes.
Part II ? A Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication
Transitioning towards a green economy is a long-term process that requires the active engagement and leadership of many actors including industry and civil society as well as all levels of government. The engagement of the private sector, especially small and medium enterprises, is critical. The Conference could examine the means by which industry, civil society and government can work together to leverage their potential to create jobs, support workers through training and skills development, access financing, advance innovative technologies, and influence the supply chain towards greener methods of production.
The five thematic priorities of Canada's international development assistance are sustainable economic growth, security and stability, democracy, children and youth and food security. Canada believes that the Conference should explore the opportunities associated with a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.
Using both regulatory and non-regulatory instruments according to national circumstances can enable the wide range of sectors and actors whose participation is necessary to successfully achieve a green economy. Well-designed regulations provide predictability for business, thus supporting innovation and economic growth while meeting environmental objectives.
In Canada, a number of policy tools and practices developed and implemented over the years have contributed to greening our economy. In that vein, a number of policy tools and best practices are included in Annex I for consideration as part of a green economy toolkit which Canada believes would be a useful contribution of the Conference towards sustainable development efforts. Examples include Canadian initiatives in the fields of chemicals management, corporate social responsibility and green accounting.
In order to provide evidence of progress towards a green economy, indicators will be needed that can be applied flexibly to demonstrate the effectiveness of regulatory and non-regulatory actions, as well as provide the data needed for evidence-based decision-making. Canada believes that a balanced suite of indicators, adaptable to national circumstances, can assist governments to measure progress as they transition to a green economy but their interpretation should consider differences in national circumstances to avoid inappropriate comparisons. (See Annex B).
Part III ? Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development
Transparent, democratic and accountable systems of governance at the local and national level are vital to achieving sustainability globally and directly influence the ability of states to achieve sustainable economic, environmental and social development and security for their citizens.
There is significant scope for improvement with regard to the UN's ability to foster the integration of economic, social and environmental considerations into its support for sustainable development. Canada believes that the international framework for sustainable development could be enhanced through greater integration and coherence among economic, social and environmental objectives in the existing UN institutional system and on-the-ground programs of member states.
The existing UN structure includes many important bodies in which member states can discuss pressing sustainable development issues. These include the General Assembly, as well as the UN Economic and Social Council and its functional and regional Commissions. The programmes and funds, such as UNDP and UNEP also have a vital role to play, as well as the secretariats of the multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). Canada considers that the Conference can serve as an opportunity to improve the current institutional arrangements for sustainable development to bring more cohesion and effectiveness and avoid duplication.
A number of ideas have been advanced for mainstreaming sustainable development within the UN. These have included enhancing UNEP, strengthening the integrative role of the UNDP, especially at the country-level, a new umbrella organization for sustainable development, a specialized agency such as a World Environment Organization, possible reforms to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the Commission on Sustainable Development, and enhanced institutional reforms and streamlining of present structures. While remaining open to discussing all options that could promote better integration of sustainable development, in the current challenging global economic context, it is not possible in Canada's view to envisage the creation of new agencies such as a World
Environment Organization. Canada would like to explore options related to improving the effectiveness, coherence and coordination of UNEP and UNDP, as well as whether a more focused agenda and streamlined format at the UN Commission on Sustainable Development is feasible so that the outcomes make a more effective contribution to achieving sustainable development and the implementation of Agenda 21. Canada is also open to a discussion on whether ECOSOC could play a more integrative role with regard to international sustainable development.
In addition to these, another option that could also be considered as part of a "package" of institutional reforms is the elaboration of a framework that better enables the mainstreaming of sustainable development considerations (i.e., economic, social and environmental considerations) across the UN system, with a particular emphasis on the UN's programming activities at the country level. This approach would include efforts to support sustainable development considerations identified within national partners' development priorities as a core element of an enhanced sustainable development partnership. The framework could be focused on improving existing mechanisms and structures and program delivery at the country level rather than the creation of new institutions (for further details see Annex III).
Canada looks forward to working constructively towards a successful Conference with concrete and practical results. Canada would like to see a concise outcome document that, on the green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication theme, fosters the sharing of best practices, encourages the exchange of information, improves the capacity to measure progress and provides support for the active engagement of the private sector; and on the institutional framework for sustainable development theme, promotes better coherence and coordination of existing mechanisms and structures for addressing sustainable development issues in the United Nations system, in particular at the country level where the impact in people's lives is greatest.
Annex I - Policy Tools and Best Practices for a Green Economy Toolkit
The Government of Canada believes that the elaboration of a green economy toolkit would be a useful contribution of the Conference towards sustainable development efforts. Practical solutions would assist in securing renewed political commitment for sustainable development, and would help bring local actions in line with national priorities in a manner applicable to local circumstances. The sharing of policy tools and best practices reinforces Canada's interest to duplication and overlap and achieve concrete results in the pursuit of sustainable avoid development. Canada has identified a number of policy tools and best practices that could be considered for the toolkit, which are outlined below.
Decision-making and Results
Green accounting (or integrated environmental and economic accounting) measures linkages between the environment and the economy. Statistics Canada has played a leadership role in the development of green accounting since the first Rio conference. This tool has garnered increasing attention worldwide as governments and international organizations recognize the need to reconcile social and economic development with environmental sustainability. Variables measured in the Canadian accounts include greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water flows and stocks of natural resources, and research is underway to develop accounts on ecosystem goods and services. As much as possible, the accounts include both physical and monetary measures, are complementary with the national economic accounts, and are based on internationally agreed concepts and methods.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic and comprehensive process of examining the environmental and socio-economic effects of policies, plans and programs in order to influence decisions-making towards more sustainable paths. In Canada's experience, SEAs can alert decision makers to risks, incorporate community engagement and traditional knowledge, and facilitate cooperation across sectors and boundaries. The use of Integrated Strategic Environmental Assessment, which can incorporate other critical themes like gender equality and governance, can be a particularly good tool for furthering sustainable development and moving towards a green economy. As per a 2004 Cabinet directive, all Canadian federal departments must complete a SEA of a policy, plan or program proposal, including free trade agreements, when the proposal may result in important environmental impacts, either positive or negative. The results of the SEA are then integrated into the development of the proposal and inform ongoing decision making.
The integration of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices and principles into business operations can help companies contribute to the realization of a green economy. Canada has funded the development of a CSR Implementation Guide, a CSR Tool Kit for business, and a small and medium enterprise (SME) Sustainability Road Map. These free on-line tools provide practical guidance on why and how to integrate sustainability-oriented practices into business operations.
Themes include: governance, decision-making, human resources, purchasing and marketing, waste management, buildings, transportation, product design and development, and resource use. In March 2009, the Government of Canada announced Building the Canadian Advantage: a Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy for the Canadian International Extractive Sector. The four pillars of the Strategy are: 1) continuing support for host country capacity-building initiatives related to resource governance; 2) promotion of widely-recognized international corporate social responsibility performance guidelines; 3) the creation of the Office of the Extractive Sector Corporate Social Responsibility Counsellor to assist in the resolution of issues pertaining to the activities of Canadian companies abroad; and 4) support for the development of a Centre for Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility to develop and disseminate high-quality CSR tools and training to stakeholders.
Well-designed regulations provide predictability for business thus supporting innovation and economic growth while meeting environmental performance objectives. An example of Canadian environmental policies and regulations that support these goals include Canada's approach to managing chemical substances through the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), designed to protect the environment and human health by setting stringent standards, while also spurring innovation and
in the economy by being flexible, predictable, and cost effective. Canada was the first country in the world to categorize the thousands of chemical substances in use before comprehensive environmental protection laws were created. This has facilitated priority setting for those substances suspected to have the most dangerous properties and those requiring further research. Canada's risk-based approach relies on sound science, assessment, and monitoring, combined with a variety of tools to manage the potential risks posed by chemicals. The goal is to safeguard human health and our environment while supporting economic growth.
The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a public information tool that provides current conditions and daily forecasts about air quality levels. It is the first of its kind to communicate the short-term health risks posed by the air pollutant mixture (ground level ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) which are known to harm human health including cardiovascular and respiratory effects. AQHI forecasts are currently available across Canada through Environment Canada's Airhealth.ca website and disseminated by a private broadcaster. The success of the AQHI can be attributed to strong partnerships between Environment Canada, Health Canada, provincial governments and key stakeholder groups who share a common interest in ensuring that Canadians have access to information that can help them protect their health. It demonstrates environment-health linkages and as such can contribute to the green economy by influencing the behaviour of Canadians.
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) was created by Canada to finance and support the development and demonstration of clean technologies which provide solutions to issues of climate change, clean air, water quality and soil, and which deliver economic, environmental and health benefits to Canadians. SDTC, which UNEP's Sustainable Energy Finance Initiative (SEFI) has called "a carefully crafted hybrid between grant and venture capital", targets the gap in earlystage venture capital financing, as well as the risk of proving a technology worthy of private
. SDTC operates two funds aimed at the development and demonstration of innovative technological solutions. The $590 million SD Tech FundTM supports projects that address climate change, air quality, clean water, and clean soil. The $500 million NextGen Biofuels FundTM supports the establishment of first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities for the production of next-generation renewable fuels. Since 2002, SDTC has completed seventeen funding rounds and allocated a total of $515 million to 210 projects. That amount has been leveraged with an additional $1.2 billion in funding from other project partners for a total project value of $1.8 billion. SDTC has been recognized as a model by the OECD, which has stated that "SDTC plays a very positive role in enhancing Canada's competitive position in the environmental field." SEFI has noted that "SDTC's strategy exemplifies how taking aspects of different financial mechanisms can be very effective."
To help support sustainable development initiatives and spur green innovation at the local level, the Canada endowed the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) with $550 million to establish the Green Municipal Fund (GMF), which is co-managed by Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada at arm's length (the FCM Board of Directors, the decision-making body for the GMF, is advised by a 15 member Council with five appointees from the federal government). The Fund supports municipal initiatives to improve local air, water and soil quality and promote renewable energy with grants and below-market loans. Through GMF, FCM provides funding to three types of initiatives: plans, studies and projects. Grants are available for sustainable community plans, feasibility studies and field tests, while a combination of grants and loans are available for capital projects. Funding, for which all Canadian municipalities and their partners are eligible, is allocated in five sectors of municipal activity: brownfields, energy, transportation, waste and water. The Fund promotes partnerships between, and leverages funds from, the public and private sectors. Further, support for community
in clean energy is also available from the GMF as well as the ecoENERGY for Aboriginal and Northern Communities program, which funds energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in First Nations, Inuit, Metis and northern communities across Canada.
Food Security
Agriculture is vital to addressing climate change, food security, poverty reduction and sustainable development. The objective of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases is to increase international collaboration and
in public and private research activities to improve knowledge sharing, access to and application by farmers of sustainable practices and technologies. The exchange of existing and new science-based knowledge and practices can provide an opportunity for farmers to contribute to addressing the global challenges of climate change and food security, while pursuing sustainable livelihoods. Canada has initiated a $25 million Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program to increase the development and adoption of sustainable practices that mitigate agricultural greenhouse gases, which can be shared domestically and internationally.
Sustainable Resource Management
The International Model Forest Network (IMFN) was introduced by Canada at UNCED in 1992, with the aim of sharing best practices with the world. Model Forests are large, forest-based landscapes where a wide variety of stakeholders work together to address social, environmental and economic issues in a sustainable manner. Model Forests provide a practical and flexible approach to sustainable forest management, with a focus on enabling local communities to address challenges specific to their landscapes for their benefit. Canada demonstrates its global commitment to issues such as biodiversity conservation, climate change and local economic development through support of the IMFN, a robust international network unique in bridging policy-making and on-the-ground delivery. With 58 Model Forests in nearly 30 countries, the IMFN provides the framework for exchanging innovative ideas between sites.
Canada's Green Mining Initiative (GMT), launched in 2009, brings together stakeholders to develop green technologies, processes and knowledge for sustainable mining. The GMI objectives are to improve the mining sector's environmental performance, promote mining innovation and position Canadian mining companies and suppliers as global leaders in green mining in an emerging market. Natural Resources Canada invests $8M annually on the GMI with an additional $3M in direct industry funding. The Green Mining Initiative has spurred green mining innovation across Canada, which led to significant progresses on a number of key R&D projects and new projects being launched. Examples include developing and testing, in collaboration with a Canadian equipment manufacturer, the first worldwide electric-diesel hybrid loader in a Canadian mine. Additional funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada will result in the bringing to market of a new hybrid loader with over twice the production capacity of the first prototype. A green mining vehicle ? green energy roadmap is being developed to provide a strategy for selecting clean alternatives to diesel. Meeting strength requirements for a unique alternative binder process that could be used for mining backfill was also undertaken. Patenting is underway for this technology as well as for a technology developed to successfully recover gold without the use of cyanide. Results of a third year of monitoring on mine sites as part of the Green Mines Green Energy initiative continue to demonstrate that the growth of biomass crops on mine tailings is feasible. GMI is a striking example of good governance in sustainable mining and of what can be achieved throughout collaboration and partnerships. Benefits of increasing collaboration at the international level could be significant.
Canada's Integrated Oceans Management Program (IOM) supports regional processes through which decisions are made for the sustainable use, development and protection of Canada's marine ecosystem and resources. The IOM program provides federal, provincial and territorial authorities, industry and Canadians with the science and risk-based tools and governance fora needed to collaboratively develop Integrated Management Plans for defined ocean spaces. These plans, which incorporate social, economic and environmental considerations in decision making, are informed by the identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas; Species and Community properties; the mapping of human uses; and the assessment of potential interactions between uses and key functional and structural aspects of marine ecosystems. Outcomes of the IOM process also include the identification of conservation measures, including networks of marine protected areas needed to support the sustainable development of ocean resources contributing to Canada's continuing fulfillment of international ocean-related commitments.
Sustainable Consumption and Production
Significant Canadian advancement in green building and sustainable community planning has been accelerated, in part, by federal programs such as the EQuilibriumTM Sustainable Housing Demonstration Initiative. Led by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and supported by Natural Resources Canada's Canmet ENERGY expertise, this initiative will result in the design, construction and demonstration of 12 highly sustainable homes across the country which produce as much energy as they consume on an annual basis. This cooperation between the public and private sectors has informed, inspired and accelerated the adoption of net zero energy healthy housing concepts nationally. Building on this successful initiative, the $4.2M EQuilibrium TM Communities initiative supports research, monitoring and showcasing of selected high performance neighbourhood projects. EQuilibrium TM Communities aims to provide measurable improvements over current practices in energy and water consumption, environmental protection, financial viability, land use and transportation.
Canada has put in place a strategy for the environmentally sound and secure disposal of all of its surplus electronic and electrical equipment. The Federal E-waste Disposal Strategy emphasizes reuse prior to recycling, where possible. Reuse options include donation to Computers for Schools (CFS), interdepartmental transfer, charitable donation and sale to the public. The Strategy provides recycling options for equipment that cannot be reused including disposal through provincial recycling programs and a standing offer for e-waste recycling services. The Strategy is contributing to the realization of the green economy in Canada by creating green jobs, diverting e-waste from landfill, supporting provincial recycling infrastructure and providing computer-based educational and learning opportunities.
Technology Roadmaps (TRMs) are effective tools to enhance the coordination and development of innovative industries and technologies, with benefits to sustainability and the green economy. Since 2002, Canada has used TRMs as forecasting tools that aim to determine future market needs, promote collaboration, and advance promising technologies. TRM processes allow government, industry and academia to work together to predict needs. Many TRMs focus on advancing emerging renewable and clean energy industries, or to address sustainability issues of other industrial sectors. Industry Canada and Natural Resources Canada have completed TRMs for sustainable fuels and chemicals from biomass, hydrogen fuel cell commercialization, clean coal, and carbon capture and storage. Work continues on TRMs for marine energy and sustainable housing.
New Initiatives
Among Canada's newer initiatives are green patents, or patent applications related to environmental technologies. Accelerating such patent applications can foster
and expedite commercialization of technologies that could help to resolve or mitigate environmental impacts or to conserve the natural environment and resources. In 2011, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office implemented a new regulation to expedite the examination of green patents, and no fee is required.
Annex II - Proposed Green Growth / Green Economy Indicators
As part of Canada's commitment to further dialogue and identify a balanced approach to measuring progress towards green growth, Canada believes there would be value in an international discussion on a suite of green growth indicators that countries could voluntarily choose to compile. In support of a constructive discussion at Rio+20, Canada is in favour of a process for the creation of a voluntary set of indicators. In this spirit, Canada has identified an illustrative set of indicators for international consideration building upon the OECD's ongoing work on green growth. Using the OECD's Towards Green Growth framework as a lens, Canada's draft indicators have been groupedby the themes identified by the OECD. The policy rationale for the indicators selected in each theme is summarized below: I. Environmental and resource productivity Indicators in this theme reflect the need for natural capital to be used efficiently. Sustainable growth will require the decoupling of economic growth and environmental impacts.
II. Natural asset base
Indicators in this theme reflect that traditional markets and accounting frameworks do not always properly reflect the risks associated with declining natural capital stocks. Further, longer-term economic prosperity requires an adequate asset base.
III. Environmental quality of life
Indicators in this theme reflect that environmental considerations can be particularly important to people when they have a direct impact on their lives. Indicators in this theme can be an effective bridge across the economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainable development.
IV. Economic opportunities and policy responses
Indicators in this theme reflect that policies can help shape and define new opportunities.
Innovative markets and technologies can spur productivity and job growth while minimizing the environmental footprint of goods and services. Work is required to ensure that the proposed indicators can overcome challenges in data, methodology, and comparability across countries. Canada looks forward to continuing to collaborate closely with the UN, the OECD, member countries, and other partners to further develop this important work.
Proposed green growth indicators
I. Environmental and resource efficiency and productivity
1. Production-based CO2 intensity
2. Demand-based CO2 intensity
3. Energy intensity
4. Share of renewable energy (by type) in total primary energy supply and in electricity production
5. Non-GHG emitting sources as a share of total primary energy supply and in electricity production
6. Material intensity
7. Waste intensity
8. Nutrient flows and balances
9. Multi-factor productivity reflecting environmental services
II. Natural asset base
Physical and monetary (where possible) measures of key natural capital stocks:
10. Energy resources
11. Freshwater resources
12. Forest resources
13. Fish resources
14. Mineral resources
15. Land resources (land use and quality)
16. Ecosystems
III. Environmental quality of life
17. Environmentally induced health problems & related costs
18. Population-weighted exposures to air pollution
IV. Economic opportunities and policy responses
19. R&D expenditure of importance to green growth
20. Patents of importance to green growth
21. Environment-related innovation in all sectors
22. Value of environmental goods and services produced in the economy
23. Value-added in environmental goods and services production
24. Imports and exports of environmental goods and services
25. Employment in environmental goods and services production (direct and indirect)
26. Capital and operating expenditures on environmental protection (remediation andmitigation)
Annex III - Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development Proposal
Better Integration of Sustainable Development Considerations in the UN System: a potential Outcome for Rio+20
This is a proposal for the elaboration of a framework that better enables the mainstreaming of sustainable development considerations (i.e., economic, social and environmental considerations) across the UN system, with a particular emphasis on the UN's programming activities at the country level. This approach would include efforts to support developing countries to integrate sustainable development considerations into their national development plans and priorities as a core element of an enhanced sustainable development partnership.
This proposal is focused on improving existing mechanisms and structures and program delivery at the country level rather than the creation of new institutions and agencies. It is meant to serve as a contribution to the overall effort to improve the institutional framework for sustainable development
This proposal is focused on establishing sustainable development as a mainstream priority within UN programming in developing countries. As such, it seeks to address a gap in the context of the institutional framework for sustainable development, which includes efforts at strengthening sustainable development at the local, national, regional and international levels.
To achieve the integration of sustainable development considerations, a two-pronged approach could be adopted.
At the Country Level:
The first element is inspired by the Delivering as One initiative as an example of how to achieve greater coherence and coordination among UN activities at the country level.
UN programming within the Delivering as One framework is based on the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). It is the role of the Resident Coordinator to ensure its implementation. Following the principle of national ownership, whereby the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) is built upon the national priorities set out by the host country under the principles elaborated by the Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda for Action, there would be the need for program countries to identify sustainable development within their national plans or poverty reduction strategies.
An opportunity for this is presented by the Rio+20 Conference, the objective of which is to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development. One possible outcome of the conference could be for member states to commit to identifying sustainable development as a priority within their national development plan, perhaps with the formal relabelling of UNDAF as the UN Sustainable Development Assistance Framework, or something comparable.
Once identified as a national priority, the Resident Coordinator would coordinate the mainstreaming of sustainable development considerations and their implementation by the various UN agencies active within the country while ensuring their coherence and consistency in accordance with national priorities.
The Resident Coordinator would rely on the input of those agencies with mandates related to the three pillars of sustainable development: UNEP and UNDP, among others, with respect to the environmental pillar; the UN Regional Economic Commissions with respect to the economic pillar; and a combination of agencies including inter alia UNDP, UN Women, UNESCO and UNICEF with respect to the social pillar.
At the Headquarters Level:
The second element could involve calling for all UN entities to mainstream sustainable development considerations across all areas of their work. While many of these entities already incorporate sustainable development considerations within their activities, there is a need to ensure both the priority and the coherence of the UN system's engagement and activities related to sustainable development on an ongoing basis. One possible method of achieving this could be through the inclusion of a call for the UN system and for each UN entity governing body to do so within the Rio+20 outcome document.
The Rio+20 document could call on the UN Secretary-General to provide high-level guidance to UN entities to mainstream sustainable development considerations as a top priority for operational activities. Consideration could be given to updating the mandate of the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) ? the UN body supporting the Resident Coordinator and the UN country teams in the delivery of coherent programming and the attainment of internationally agreed development goals ? so that its focus on sustainable development is made explicit.
Consideration could also be given to providing a formal, permanent role for UNEP within theUNDG Advisory Group, which is tasked with providing frequent guidance to the UNDG on operational dimensions of the Resident Coordinator system, including ensuring the coherence of country level development operations. Other options for headquarters governance could be considered.
This proposal could also be complemented by measures to improve the effectiveness,coherence and coordination of other existing structures with mandates related to sustainable development, such as UNDP and UNEP.

BOSTON (AP) — Freshman Olivier Hanlan scored a career-high 26 points and Eddie Odio had a career-high 11 rebounds on Tuesday night to lead Boston College to a 69-58 victory over Maryland.
The Terrapins (18-8, 6-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) had won three of their last four games, including a victory over then-No. 2 Duke on Saturday. Logan Aronhalt scored 26 points, making seven 3-pointers — both season highs — but no other Maryland player scored more than nine.
Boston College (12-14, 4-9) had lost three of four games, including a one-point loss to Duke. But the Eagles held Maryland without a basket for a span of 7:15 early in the second half and then scored 12 straight points to turn a one-point deficit into a 61-50 lead with 1:46 to play.
The Eagles made 16 straight free throws down the stretch to protect their lead.

Edgewater house fire displaces couple
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 2:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 11:16 p.m.
A fire damaged a home in Edgewater Monday afternoon leaving the homeowners without a place to live, a fire official said.
The fire reported at 124 E. Turgot Ave. at 1:36 p.m. destroyed a bedroom of the home. But the fire also got into the attic, causing heavy smoke damage to the entire home, said Edgewater Fire Department Capt. Jill Danigel.
Damage was estimated at about $50,000, Danigel said.
The fire was determined to be accidental and officials believe it was started by unattended candles, Danigel said.
A male occupant of the home suffered a minor burn to the hand when he attempted to extinguish the fire. A woman suffered mild smoke inhalation, Danigel said.
The home was uninhabitable and the American Red Cross is providing shelter and help to the occupants of the home, Danigel said.

Baltimore County News
by Leslie Pachol
Baltimore County Department of Economic Development
Baltimore County manufacturers are working green and improving the bottom line at the same time. Six Baltimore County manufacturers are part of a "Green Team" program that is saving money on energy costs and reducing carbon emissions. Baltimore County chose the Regional Manufacturing Institute of Maryland (RMI) to implement the federally funded program, starting with energy assessments at each site. The assessments revealed opportunities for energy upgrades such as more efficient air compression systems, lighting retrofits, and modern heating, boiler and HVAC systems.
Acadia Windows & Doors, General Motors Baltimore Operations, Lion Brothers, MarquipWardUnited, Green Bay Packaging, and Kirk-Habicht participated in the program. When all changes are implemented, these six companies will collectively save more than $251,000 annually on their energy bills and eliminate more than 2.5 million pounds of carbon emissions a year.
Baltimore County has 520 manufacturers. Imagine the savings if everyone "worked green." For more information, visit the RMI website www.rmiofmaryland.com

Basic Generic Training - BGT - Call for applications
In the framework of the CSDP, the EU conducts since 2003 civilian crisis management missions (CCM) in various unstable or crisis area's on different continents. Currently, the EU is conducting around 16 missions in which approximately 50 Belgian civilian personnel are deployed.
In order to conduct these missions, the EU is searching mainly for civilian experts in the area of justice (magistrates and judges) police and administration (1). Therefore, Belgium organizes at national level, twice a year, a training (BGT) as an integral part of the EU training policy to support the European civilian capability to implement CSDP missions.
This integrated training, jointly organized by MFA and the Egmont Institute, with support of the Belgian Federal Police and the Ministry of Justice, aims at increasing the Belgian pool of civilian experts for secondment if selected for a mission.
This course addresses most of the important elements related to civilian crisis management and the mission's environment. As such it will offer a 'tool box' for the participant in order to facilitate his/her job and be more operational on the field once deployed in the mission.
The training is delivered in English, as most of the CSDP missions are conducted in English. Therefore, an English test will be a part of the selection.
Each potential participant should be aware that we are looking for candidates that are willing to be deployed for a minimum of 1 year (2).
The next training will take place from 14 April till 25 April 2014 in Brussels.
Candidates with justice profiles should address the authorities in charge of the selection procedure: firstname.lastname@example.com (justice).
Interested persons for the positions within the administration category are invited to send their CV and motivation letter to: email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com at the latest by 3 February 2014.

Spring Vineyard and Waterfront Unique and Colorful Wedding (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This wedding was a Spring wedding (May) held in a vineyard in Virginia, Ingleside Wineyards in Oak Grove, VA. The vineyard is on the Rappahannock River and so the wedding was held at on of their rental home on the river and the reception was held in the vineyard courtyard. The winery used to be a dairy farm years ago and is one of the oldest and largest wineries in Virginia. They converted it years ago and it is now a vineyard and winery on a gorgeous location and setting. There are many historic homes on the property as well so the setting is breathtaking.
The wedding was between two people (Kyle and Mandy) who had just graduated college and the wife was a school teacher so the transportation to and from the wedding and reception sites were in school buses. It was perfectly fitting.
Instead of a unity candle or pouring sand in two colors together for the ceremony, the couple opted to paint a picture. They are both very artistic and they painted a picture with two different colors while a guitarist played and sang "Pink Moon." It was one of the most unique unity displays I have ever seen, They now have the canvas hanging up in their home
The table arrangements had mason jars with a different flower in each and grouped into sets of three. There were also antique blue mason jars included in all of the arrangements. The flowers were a mix of flowers in primarily white, yellow and orange. As table runners for the tables, they used chair ties, which are not as thick but fit the length perfectly and are less expensive. The colors of the wedding were teal, yellow and orange. The bridesmaids all wore teal knee length dresses and carried mixed bouquets of flowers in white, yellow and orange. The groom and groomsmen wore shirts and pants from jcrew. Flowers, white lanterns, and mason jars filled with candles hung from the hundred year old trees in the vineyard courtyard at the reception.
The bride's mother sewed together pennants in the colors of the wedding that were used to drape on the buses for decoration as well as to decorate the ceremony site. She then made them a quilt out of those pennants as a gift to the couple.
The guest book was one of the bride and grooms favorite picture books of animals that guests signed a page for the couple. That book is now on their coffee table.
The day was beautiful and the wedding was right before sunset so that the lighting could be perfect as the sun set over the river during the ceremony. The decorations, flowers, and coordinating were done by Entertaining Creativity. http://entertainingcreativity.blogspot.com/
The bride also designed and made made aspects of the day including the favor boxes, boutionerres, invitations, and hanging mason jar lights. Her work can be found at: http://bastionandcitadel.blogspot.com/
Pictures were taken by the amazing Aaron Spicer at www.aaronspicer.net
Cupcakes were by Mary's Cakery in King George, VA but were decorated by Entertaining Creativity with fresh flowers. http://www.maryscakeryandcandy.com/public/index.php

My beloved Philips GoGear Vibe Vs Sony NWZA845
Okay so, Sony must 'of course' make the superior player, and I was just being silly holding on to my Philips love for all of these years...right..?
I own both of these players and here are the main points that have me now reverting back to my Philips Vibe.
Main reason for owning any mp3 player : Sound. To be perfectly honest, I've listened to both of them at length now and I listen to a wide variety of audiobooks on them with subtle nuances in the special effects in some that are going to test any mp3 player in terms of reproduction. Result ? There is barely any difference in sound quality whatsoever. And Philips is the 'underdog'...?
Video : Or course, I will concede that the Sony, with it's OLED screen absolutely trounces the Philips with it's ye olde lcd effort. Viewing angles on video on the Sony are absolutely insane. Viewing angles on the Philips are tragic.
Ease of use : A while back Philips got a positive nod for introducing players where you could delete tracks directly from the player without needing to hook it up to your computer to do so. Imagine what a let down it was finding out that this brand new flashy OLED backlit Sony mp4 player.....can't do this. Oh dear.
I only really use my mp3 players in bed, to help me sleep, this they need to not be silly touchscreen ones, because I need tactile buttons when they're under the covers. The Philips is nice and tactile and solid for skipping, pausing and adjusting volume. The Sony, by contrast, regularly had my fingers slipping all over the front buttons - the design clearly intended to look all flashy with precious little thought given to the fact you might not actually be staring at 100% of the time when using it.
The power button on the Philips Vibe is, admittedly, a bit rubbish. But at least it is actually the ONLY power button. Press ANY button on the Sony, for even less than 1 second, and the damn thing thinks you want to turn it on again. There is no practical purpose that I can think of for having any button at all turn your mp3 player on again.
Menu systems ? The Philips menu system is basic. It WORKS. Oooh you can move sideways, up, down, in and out on the Sony one. Have you tried finding anything in a great hurry like that ? "I think the way you meant to look for that track was...." Here is what the very definition of a "menu" should be : up and down. Thank you, Philips.
Support : The Philips Vibe supports just about every sound format you can think of - despite it's tiny size. The Sony doesn't even support .flac. Oops.
I'm so sick of Philips being bashed. In my experience of their players over the years they've been nothing but one thing : RELIABLE. No they're not the flashiest of players. But their response times have markedly improved as has the format support. Yes they've made some REALLY bad design decisions (not least the Ariaz prior to the current one) but I can't help wondering if I'm somehow living under a magic toadstool to have never once experienced all these "my GoGear won't turn on again" or "my GoGear broke after a week" or "my GoGear takes 3 whole minutes to start up" that I read of in any of the 4 generations of them I've gone through now. Have I really managed to find the only reliable batch of their players or something ? Let's be a little more realistic.
Philips might be accused of being boring but in my own personal experience their players are always reliable and always highly practical and that's why even after dabbling in Sony I just can't shake my lurve.

I would agree that "reliable" is a good description of Phillip's Mp3 players.
Except for the bloody Muse. I wish that one had never existed and I wouldn't have wasted my money on it! ARGH! And the worst part about it?
If not for a mere two problems or so, it would have been absolutely perfect.
Amazing what very small problems can do to a player.
Yeah, Philips is a massively under-rated company. After all, they invented both audio cassettes and CDs and anything of theirs I've owned over the years has been excellent. They deserve to be far better regarded than they are.
Not in the area of DAPs and PMPs. The hardware is fair at best and the firmware is erratic when it functions at all.
I owned Philips DAPs until I finally got tired of having to be sure to carry a paper clip or something to reset them when they crapped out for no apparent reason. Eventually I got tired of the continuous attempts at updating and renewing the firmware and knowing the RMA procedures by heart and gave up.

Clp Zip works great as a bedtime player.
While I don't know anything about Phillips DAP's. They look like a toy is what had put me off. I can speak of Phillips Quality though. Over the years I have owned Phillips Audio and Video gear. All well built and engineered. I have a pair of 30 yr old speakers that don't see much use (in Storage) because of the size. I bought them at a Radio Shack for about $150. These speakers sound better than any Bose speaker then and now. Compared to many high end speakers they hold their own.
I am glad you enjoy your player. That's what its all about.
I'm not saying that Philips isn't capable of making quality products. You'll notice I said "Not in the area of DAPs and PMPs" in response to the statement they need to be better regarded. I've owned several other Philips products including headphones that performed as well, if not better, as other products in their price range.
I still regret that I had the SHE 9500 before I learned to treat my IEMs with care. They didn't cost much and the SQ was excellent for the price. I'm not surprised there are low priced Philips that are currently FOTM. If they are anywhere near as good as the SHE 9500 they deserve to be noticed.
The DAPs of theirs I owned just weren't up to snuff. The sound was decent and the UI was easy to learn. None of that made a difference when one would decide to go belly up and I wasn't at home to try to revive it. Notice I said "try".
Reinstalling the firmware was iffy at best. At least half the time the installer would report success and hadn't done anything. Another 30% of the time it would report failure. The other 20% of the time it would work but the fix was always temporary. I had too many other options to keep playing that game so I decided to go with those instead of continuing to frustrate myself.

The Philips players may not be bad, but for the price, the Sandisk Clip+ seems much better. I am hoping Sandisk will come out with a nice new Fuze model at the end of August. I like my original Fuze, but not as much as the Clip+.
Bought my wife a clip+ then a philips go gear vibe, both in 4 gb. She prefers the vibe over the clip. Sound quality is a tie, reliability goes to the philips, Battery life goes to philips, ease of use also goes to philips .
Personally, I agree with her, my only beef is the partition with the songbird software that wants to install every time I want to add songs to her player.Though it's easy to work around.
If Sansa comes out with a nexgen fuse without the f*&^%% touch pad, I'd be all over it

Does the Vibe have a card slot and integrate card contents? Is the Vibe Rockboxable?
None of the Vibes that I've that I've seen or owned had and expansion slot. IIRC some of the older GoGears had an one but I don't think any of them were called a Vibe. It's hard to keep up with Philips. They recycle the same name across models that don't look even remotely related. If you google the vibe you'll see models that don't seem to share anything but the name.
The list of devices that have a Rockbox port is here. If it's not listed there's no port is available at this time.

The Concert for Bangladesh was the first major benefit concert of its kind and paved the way for Live Aid, Farm Aid, Live 8 and the other rock benefit events that came later. The Concert for Bangladesh brought together an extraordinary group of major artists collaborating for a common humanitarian cause. Organized by George Harrison, the event sold out Madison Square Garden in New York City, generated millions of dollars for UNICEF and raised awareness for the organization and the humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh around the world. The concert also resulted in a Grammy-winning triple-album box set and feature film.
To celebrate this groundbreaking concert, the Museum created a special exhibit with artifacts that include George Harrison's original lyrics to the song "Bangla Desh," Ravi Shankar's sitar, a vest worn by Ringo Starr and more. The concert film is being shown in a theater adjacent to the exhibit.
The concerts – there were actually two concerts, both on August 1, 1971 – came about after Indian musician Ravi Shankar approached Harrison about the crisis in Bangladesh, where a brutal civil war had killed thousands of people and forced even more people into exile. In the end, Harrison assembled an all-star lineup that, in addition to himself and Ravi Shankar, included Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Klaus Voormann, Jim Keltner, Carl Radle, the members of Badfinger and others.
"We as a band continually look forward, so it's really fantastic that someone, especially the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are looking backward to recognize the work we've done. I'm just really honored that they thought of us."
