Starbucks Helps Growers Enter Carbon Credit Biz
Some Fortune 500 companies are getting involved in ecosystem services. That is, finding ways to repay nature for the products it produces, according to an article by Marc Gunther in Fortune.
Starbucks is the latest. It will finance Conservation International's efforts to work with local partners and coffee growers to protect the landscapes around the coffee growing areas.
The growers, on their own or in partnership with local governments, would agree to preserve forests as they are or to replant trees. They would then become eligible, in today's world, to seek carbon credits from companies that are voluntarily offsetting their emissions.
The company also unveiled a new mark for its coffee that Starbucks says symbolizes its partnership with CI and its commitment to coffee that is responsibly grown, and ethically sourced.
Gunther also says that Marriott might begin a project to help preserve forests in the Amazon.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 250 reviews
Clean and a good location. Bathtub was slow to drain and they came quickly and fixed the problem. Front desk service was pleasant. Free breakfast was good.
I only stayed one night - was there for my daughter's college orientation. The staff was VERY nice, so I don't want my review to take away from their wonderful service. The room was typical - no frills. The bed was so old that it had metal springs in it that squeaked every time I rolled over. The wallpaper was curling at the edges and the room smelled of mold. If I had to stay another night, I would have cancelled my reservation and gone to another hotel for the rest of my stay. The building is in serious need of renovations, especially for the money I paid (over $100 for the night). I won't stay there again.
Hotel service was great. It's kinda dated and dingy. Needs an update bad.
Perfect except we had a sleeper bed and no one told us the sheets and pillows were stored in the drawers. Should've been made up before we took the room
The stay was great. Near beach and UNCW where my daughter will be attending college. However, I was very disappointed when I called the reservation number (not the number directly to where we stayed) because the man I talked with mumbled the whole time and I had to ask him repeatedly to repeat himself. Then, I let him know that I had been aware of a discount being given to UNCW students and he was very ride and said that $104 was the lowest price available. I ended up booking a room online because I thought I had misunderstood what info I had been given. When I checked in, the desk clerk told me that next time let them know I had a UNCW student. I informed him I had and what had taken place. Of course, by this time, the room amount had been put on my card so there was nothing he could do. I'm really disappointed in this service through the reservation number and feel I should be reimbursed the discount or at least given a free night as we will be staying here often due to visiting our daughter. Thank you!

Obama declares health care law is working, says there's no repealing it while he's president
Evan Vucci, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Seeking to regroup from his health care law's disastrous rollout, President Barack Obama on Tuesday insisted that the sweeping overhaul is working and warned Republican critics that he would fight any efforts to strip away its protections.
"We're not repealing it as long as I'm president," Obama said during a health care event at the White House. "If I have to fight another three years to make sure this law works, then that's what I'll do."
Earlier Tuesday, the administration released a 50-state report saying that nearly 1.5 million people were found eligible for Medicaid during October. As website problems depressed sign-ups for subsidized private coverage, that safety-net program for low-income people saw a nearly 16 percent increase in states that have agreed to expand it, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
The White House is trying to cast the health care law in a positive light after the first two months of enrollment for the centerpiece insurance exchanges were marred with technical problems. With the majority of problems with the sign-up website resolved, by the accounting of administration officials, Obama and his team plan to spend much of December trying to remind Americans why the administration fought for the law in the first place.
"We believe that in America, nobody should have to worry about going broke because somebody in their family or they got sick," Obama said, flanked by people the White House says have benefited from the law.
Despite Obama's sunny presentation, officials are furiously working behind the scenes to rectify an unresolved issue with enrollment data that could become a significant headache after the first of the year. Insurers say much of the enrollment data they're receiving is practically useless, meaning some consumers might not be able to get access to benefits on Jan. 1, the date their coverage is scheduled to take effect.
The troubled rollout of the insurance exchanges has contributed to a drop in Obama's overall job approval rating, while also emboldening Republicans and putting Democratic lawmakers facing re-election on edge.
White House officials say that with the worst of the website problems behind them, the president will return to a familiar political argument: criticizing Republicans for opposing the "Obamacare" law without providing their own ideas for solving national health care woes.
"They sure haven't presented an alternative," Obama said. "You've got to tell us specifically what you'd do."
Despite the website troubles, the White House says it is buoyed by high online traffic. On Monday, officials said, the site received about 1 million visitors, though they would not detail how many of those had actually enrolled for insurance policies.
Medicaid sign-ups are proceeding on a separate track. While subsidized private coverage is available to middle class people in all 50 states, the expanded version of Medicaid currently is provided only in states that agreed to accept it. So far 25 states and Washington, D.C., have done so.
Tuesday's report showed that states that expanded their Medicaid programs saw a nearly 16 percent increase in applications during October. States that did not expand saw a smaller, 4-percent increase.

Minneapolis staff is recommending that a historic preservation commission sign off on demolition of the Star Tribune's building on Portland Avenue, with one condition: Keep the medallions.
That refers to six stone medallions embedded in the facade of the building, each representing a different Minnesota industry. They are dairy, milling, mining, fishing, farming and lumber. The heritage preservation commission will weigh the demolition application at a meeting Tuesday.
The demolition is necessary to make way for a park that has been proposed as a complement to Ryan Companies' massive mixed-use development adjacent to the new Vikings stadium.
In their report, city staff members concluded that the building "appears to meet the definition of a historic resource."
They nonetheless recommended moving forward with demolition, as long as the medallions were removed and incorporated into the proposed park.

"Daughton challenges many commonly held notions about the 'culture wars' and secular 'civilizing mission' of the early Third French Republic and its imperial expansion, demonstrating that Catholic missionaries played a much greater role in the French colonial empire than is usually acknowledged. Drawing upon extensive archival research in France as well as its former colonies of Indochina, Madagascar, and PolynesiaDaughton's exacting, scrupulously empirical methodology is a welcome corrective to the sweeping generalizations and ethereal theorizing of many colonial and postcolonial studies. This is a remarkably well-researched and well-written first book, and announces Daughton as a junior scholar of tremendous promise."CHOICE
"An elegant study of the intersection of religion and empire.... It demonstrates how under the umbrella of the French empire, regional particularities were not just shaped by responses to local conditions and peoples, they were often formed by differences and conflicts among the French themselves."H-France

Zack Morrison's Paranatural weaves a tale of ghosts and the people who bust them. It centers on a team that acts a lot like exterminators, trapping pesky spirits in special tools. In a way, it resembles property created in the 1980s that also centers on a plucky team with a catchy theme song that once vanquished a puffy, marshmallow-like foe.
I am talking, of course, about Dragon Ball. I don't think it's an accident. This is, after all, a webcomic where there's a dojo in which old men throw around fireballs and where one kid has supernatural powers that cause spiky hair. The characters also look pretty similar to Akira Toriyama's style — cartoony, somewhat-squarish and exaggerated during the big action sequences.

Nearly all Apple Watch retail try-ons are resulting in preorders, Cowen saysCustomers who schedule an appointment to try on the Apple Watch are extremely likely to walk away with a preorder for the device, according to a new informal poll of retail employees conducted by an analyst.
Timothy Arcuri of Cowen and Company visited Apple retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area over the weekend, and spoke with employees about the try-on appointments that began last Friday.
Apple employees indicated to Arcuri that nearly all customers who came in to try on the Apple Watch preordered the device. The analyst said his team spoke to several dozen salespeople at each retail store, and they said between 85 and 90 percent of those who had an appointment to try on the Apple Watch bought in to the device.
The informal poll has led Arcuri to estimate that opening weekend preorders for the Apple Watch could easily be in the 1-million-unit range. To him, this number is "respectable," and even a little better than he had anticipated.
Separately, research from Slice Intelligence suggested that Apple Watch preorders may have reached 1 million in the first 24 hours of availability. Their data was based on a poll of 9,090 online shoppers.
Arcuri continues to estimate that Apple will sell about 3 million Apple Watch units in the June quarter, and the number will increase to 7 million units in the September quarter. He sees the average selling price at launch being at $449, and dropping to $422 in the subsequent quarter.
Looking longer term, Arcuri believes Apple will sell 31 million units in the first 12 months of the Apple Watch. If that prediction comes true, he noted it would be the company's largest initial year of sales for any new product category in its history.
Cowen and Company has maintained its price target of $135, with an "outperform" rating for shares of AAPL.

The Humane Society of Lebanon County took in more than two dozen furry friends this weekend.
Twenty-four cats and three dogs were found in a midsized sedan after the owner, a veteran, checked into the Lebanon VA Medical Center late Friday night.
"She lost her house, she lost her job, she is a veteran. She just got in over her head, admitted herself to the hospital and then we were called," said Communications Director Suzanne Biever with the Humane Society of Lebanon County.
The Humane Society tells us the woman had been living in the vehicle with all 27 animals for the last two months.
"It is unimaginable having 27 animals living in that vehicle since January," said Biever.
After checking herself into the medical center, the veteran alerted the hospital staff to the animals in the car and transferred ownership to the Humane Society.
Some of the animals suffer from mild dehydration and upper respiratory infections. But the humane society staff say their conditions could have been a lot worse.
"For the situation this woman was in, she really did try to the best to take care of the animals as best she could. So it could have been a lot worse, but fortunately it wasn't," said Veterinarian Bryan Langlois.
All the animals are being spayed and neutered, dewormed and medically cleared by the veterinarian before they are cleared for adoption.
If you are interested in adopting one of the animals, visit lebanonhumane.org or call (717) 628-1369.

Braeger Chevy helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
This video shows you how to add transmission fluid to your 2001 Chevrolet Impala. Before adding transmission fluid, make sure that your engine was running when you checked the fluid level. If the transmission fluid level on your Impala is low, you need to add fluid through the dipstick tube. Chevrolet has been developed sophisticated transmissions through years and it is critical that you add the exact type of transmission fluid stipulated by your owner's manual (typically in the back of the manual in a section titled Fluid Capacities.) When adding transmission fluid to your Impala, be sure to add it slowly as the transmission fluid capacity is reached quickly and it is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
If you are having problems with the transmission in your Impala, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

A 2.4-GHz fully integrated CMOS receiver front-end using current-reused folded-cascode circuit scheme is presented. A configuration utilizing vertically stacked low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a folded-cascode mixer is proposed to improve both conversion gain and noise figure suitable for sub-mW receiver circuits. The proposed front-end achieves a conversion gain of 31.5dB and a noise figure of 11.8dB at 10MHz with 500-μA bias current from a 1.0-V power supply. The conversion gain and noise figure improvements of the proposed front-end over a conventional merged LNA and single-balanced mixer are 11dB and 7.2dB at 10MHz, respectively, with the same power consumption of 500μW.

Bringing the jobs home: How we get there
By Scott N. Paul, executive director, Alliance for American Manufacturing
Insourcing seems to be at the top of the trending list for 2012. But, how do we make reshoring—bringing jobs back from overseas—a real phenomenon? For America to have a thriving economy and lower unemployment, we need to create more good-paying jobs. And to do that, we'll have to win back some of the jobs that have been shipped overseas for the past decade.
President Obama, to his great credit, gathered about a dozen businesses and many more experts at the White House to strategize on how to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. Within the past year, major consulting firms have published a litany of reports urging businesses to take a look at reshoring. This week, the White House issued its own report.

'A treasured tradition:' KSL Radiothon continues to raise money and touch hearts
The event raised $23,500. The biggest donation came from a listener who wanted to hear Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First" routine. Someone ran over to the Salt Lake City Library and checked out the sketch to secure the pledge.
"It was odd, a lot of commotion, but it was a lot of fun," Goodrich said. "We learned from that first year that maybe taking requests for pledges wasn't manageable."
Support has increased since then.
The event raised more than $100,000 for the first time in 1982, $200,000 in 1995 and $300,000 in 1999. Donations finally surpassed $500,000 last year. These funds are used for charity care, research and to support special programs at the hospital such as bereavement, music therapy, toys and art supplies.
"It's incredible to see the generosity," said Doug Wright, now entering his 36th year with the radiothon. "It's not about KSL. It's about our listeners using KSL as a conduit to make a donation to the hospital. The generosity each and every year is breathtaking."
Gage Thompson's story
That generosity has benefitted families like the Thompsons.
Gretchen Thompson describes her son Gage as "all boy." The 6-year-old likes riding his bike, playing soccer, building with Legos and playing with his two dogs, Chief and Ozzie. Most who see him have no idea what he's been through, his mother said.
In November 2011, Gage became sick and complained of headaches. Having already taken him to the family doctor, his parents felt impressed to take him to Primary Children's. That's where a scan revealed a large brain tumor.
Because the tumor was so close to his brain stem, it had to be removed in pieces over two surgeries lasting a total of 18 hours.
"It was a miracle," Gretchen Thompson said. "Our doctor was amazing. He hugged us, he cried with us."
Gage Thompson's recovery was aided by daily root beer floats at Primary Children's and a special friendship with the Holladay Fire Department. More than two years later, he is healthy and thriving, despite occasional problems with balance.
"Our experience with the hospital was great. There was someone there to help us at every turn," Gretchen Thompson said. "We are changed forever and have an increased sense of gratitude. As a family, we have tried to be more aware of what is going on around us, to do more charity work and help where we can, because we know how much it helps, and to show our gratitude by giving back."
Memorable moments
Alex Kirry, co-host of KSL Radio's Nightside Project, remembers well his first year with the radiothon seven years ago. At that point, the radiothon was a 26-hour marathon. Kirry and co-host Ethan Millard had the 7 to midnight shift.
"It was five hours of giving out that phone number and feeling the excitement that's up there," Kirry said.
Around midnight, despite the lateness of the hour, Kirry said the group reached a lofty goal in donations and everyone was cheering and slapping high-fives. They were also physically exhausted. When Kirry finally arrived home around 1:30 a.m., he woke up his wife to share the good news.
"That's all great, but can we talk about it in the morning?" she said.
Kirry remembers going to sleep only to be shaken awake a short time later by his wife, who asked him what he was doing.
"What?" he asked.
"You keep giving out a phone number," she informed him.

Encap Security, the first and only in-app, banking-grade authentication solution specialist, will address the rise in card-not-present (CNP) attacks and a customer-centric approach to eliminating it in two upcoming events: FinovateSpring on April 30 and CNP Fraud: Preparing for the Post-EMV Spike Webinar with co-host Julie Conroy, Research Director of Retail Banking Aite Group, on May 7.
For years, EMV has been hailed as the hopeful savior to a U.S. card industry suffering $11.27 billion in fraud losses. As millions of credit identities flood the underweb as a result of recent attacks, U.S. credit card issuers, merchants and banks once again move to adopt EMV cards. However in Europe, online fraud doubled after EMV adoption as attacks against the plastic card shifted to CNP. The lesson learned: fraud does not simply disappear; it just moves to another channel – one where it is even easier to commit fraudulent transactions.
"The number spent on fraud prevention is $6.47 billion, and that's just to lose $11.27 billion. How can that even be justified? We're clearly not protecting the right thing in the right way. Time to think outside of the 'authentication box'," said Adam Dolby, Vice President of Business Development at Encap Security. "We need to stop thinking about security from a product perspective and focus on the customer. Say goodbye to inconvenient solutions that don't solve the real problem – all the touch points where fraud can happen. Time for an approach that protects each and every access points in customer relationships – from logins to call centers to all types of transactions."
"The bad guys are going to get in. Attackers will always find a way in where there's enough reward. If we only react when there's a breach, rather than stop them before it starts, we're giving away the upper hand," said Conroy. "Effective, successful protection requires scalable, nimble solutions that provide layered strategies, seamless consumer experience across all channels and well-designed feedback loop that adjusts and scales with breaches over time. Fraud prevention is a journey not a destination."
Hear more on this topic at upcoming events:
- What: Adam Dolby, Encap Security, will demonstrate the 'Smarter Authentication' solution that combats CNP by asking the one and only needed question "do you want to make this transaction?"
- When: Wednesday, April 30 at 1:24 p.m. PDT (session #7). Attendees may stop by the Encap booth throughout the day from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. PDT for more insight and personal demos.
Webinar: CNP Fraud: Preparing for the Post-EMV Spike
- What: Dolby will co-host a CNP fraud webinar with Aite Group's Julie Conroy. The webinar will explore the current threat environment including an analysis of recent breaches, preparing for CNP attacks that are often left under or completely unprotected and how fraud and costs can be reduced without sacrificing convenience and security for anyone.
- When: Wednesday, May 7 at Noon CDT
- Registration: Free and open to all at http://bit.ly/CNPwebinar.

Jagdeo raised sloth in release of LCDS funds in letter to Solheim
Shortly before demitting office last year, former president Bharrat Jagdeo had written to Norway's Minister of the Environment and Development Cooperation, Erik Solheim, highlighting that there is still much to tackle in Guyana's forest partnership with Oslo including the sloth in money flows to Guyana.
The two countries are involved in a partnership to "work together to provide the world with a relevant, replicable model for how REDD+ can align the development objectives of forest countries with the world's need to combat climate change". Norway committed to providing financial support of up to US$250 million until 2015 for results achieved by Guyana in limiting emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, which will support the implementation of Guyana's Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).
In his November letter, a copy of which was obtained by Stabroek News, Jagdeo told Solheim that he would be demitting office and thanked him for his personal commitment to the partnership between the two countries.
He said that the Guyana-Norway partnership had made enormous progress, although there was still much to do.
"Unfortunately, despite Norway paying US$70 million to the World Bank for results delivered by Guyana in 2009 and 2010, very little money is yet flowing to Guyana, while over US$1 million has been paid in fees," Jagdeo wrote. "It is particularly unfortunate that we were unable to fix the two problems you and I spoke about when you visited Georgetown.
The mechanism for the use of the money paid by Norway to Guyana continues to be saddled with rules which require, for example, closed procurement processes in some instances (we had to purchase 11,000 solar panels for indigenous homes from domestic resources as Guyana wanted to conduct a fully open procurement to international standards, whereas use of the payments from Norway would have required a closed process coupled with an international process to select the wattage of bulbs in indigenous homes)."
Jagdeo had not spoken of this issue before but last July he told Amerindian leaders that there was an international tender for the solar panels and a Danish company won the bid.
"But we can't get them to pay for this because guess what, they want to come to your communities and ask you whether you want these solar panels or not; whether it will create environmental problems or social problems…," the President had said. "All of these safeguards. It's a straightforward procurement…," he continued.
In his letter, Jagdeo also noted that Norway's REDD+ payments at US$5 per tonne/C02 are enabling Guyana to maintain 99.5% of its forest cover. "Teams from our two countries have made breakthroughs on complex issues of global significance, and our methodology is in line with recommendations that highlight how a 25% reduction in global deforestation is possible within 5 years for less than 25 billion euro," he said.
The former president stated that once Georgetown and Oslo are successful in fixing the finance mechanism, the partnership will enable Guyana – over the remaining three years – to combine payments from Norway with domestic investment and private capital to undertake several projects.
He identified these as Guyana becoming the world's top user of clean energy as a per cent of its energy mix, and eliminating 92% of Guyana's energy-related emissions; the establishment of a world-class Centre for Bio-diversity; investing in Guyana's most pressing climate change adaptation priorities, including work to secure the coastline which is 1 metre below sea level; attracting a further US$2 billion in private finance for identified low carbon economic enterprise, in climate-smart agriculture and other sectors; building a world-class greenhouse gas monitoring, reporting and verification system(MRVS); distributing solar panels to indigenous households to ensure that every single indigenous home has access to electricity; establishing an Amerindian Development Fund to address the specific needs identified by indigenous Amerindian communities; and build on an already existing programme that is providing 90,000 low income households with laptops and training, to boost efforts to prevent the emergence of a digital divide in Guyana.
"Your personal dedication has been a major reason why we have travelled this far. Ours is a five-year partnership, we knew that we would have problems – and the two countries can fix them, especially the financing mechanism. We can prove to the world that it is possible to enshrine national ownership and adherence to world-class financial, social and environmental safeguards within climate finance mechanisms," the former president wrote.
"I have already indicated to [Norwegian] Prime Minister Stoltenberg my belief that the new Government in Guyana will remain a strong and dependable partner in making the Guyana-Norway partnership work, and in helping to make progress on the global climate agenda," he said adding that he will continue to support Solheim and "your vital work in any way I can after I have left office."
In a response last month, Solheim thanked the former president and said that the partnership between Guyana and Norway would not have been possible without Jagdeo's strong dedication. "As you refer to in your letter, there are still challenges that have to be solved before the model is working like we want it to. But I believe that all parties to this cooperation want to see progress and success. From the Norwegian side, I can assure you that this has high priority, making our partnership a vehicle for the successful implementation of Guyana's low carbon development strategy in the coming three years," the minister said.
"I am encouraged by your indication that you believe the new government of Guyana will want to continue our partnership and look forward to build on the foundation that was laid during your presidency," Solheim wrote. He added that Jagdeo's leadership and dedication in the fight against climate change is needed also after he would have left office of president and "I look forward to continue our common efforts towards a sustainable future in the years to come."
