With the "troll" threat reducing, the case for defensive patent aggregation may no longer be as compellingThe week before last I hosted a webinar for IAM Market entitled Readying a Patent Portfolio for Sale: What You Need to Know to Be Successful. Over 350 people signed up to get the materials and the recording, while close to 200 listened live as presenter Kent Richardson, a partner at Silicon Valley-based Richardson Oliver Law Group, talked through his slides and then answered questions from me and from attendees. It was a fascinating hour, which my colleague Jack Ellis has written up in a blog Read more

Alarm in Asia as ITC 337 investigations on course for biggest year since smartphone wars peakTaipei-based Advantech recently became the latest Taiwanese company to find itself facing a Section 337 investigation by the United States International Trade Commission (ITC). The complaint, filed by Rockwell Automation, accuses a German software developer called 3S Smart Software Solutions of infringing eight US patents in a software system called CoDeSys; Advantech, which implements that software in its industrial computing products, is also named as a respondent. This latest case comes Read more

Despite the CAFC's recent 101 decisions don't expect a deal frenzy or rapid rises in patent valuesOver the summer, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued three decisions in software patent cases which, collectively have resolved some of the questions hanging over just what is eligible for patent protection. The most recent decision, McRO (dba Planet) v Bandai Namco Games America which was issued last week, has made arguably the biggest impression on the patent-owning community. Microsoft's IP head Erich Andersen declared in a blog post that the decision Read more

Chinese internet firms eyeing global expansion could turn to patent acquisitionThe giants of China's internet sector have always been overwhelmingly focused on the domestic market, and for good reason. Big winners in the space, like Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu, have emerged only after overcoming very tough local competition. With 720 million people online, the Chinese market is large enough to sustain very large businesses on its own, while the overall internet penetration rate of just 45% (compared to 84% in the US) leaves plenty of room for growth. Perhaps most Read more

The UK risks losing current UPC goodwill if it dithers on ratification for much longer, warns FroehlingerBrexit was on the menu again in Milan this morning as we saw another 8:30am start at the AIPPI. There was a big crowd in to hear a panel, including Air Liquide's VP of IP Thierry Sueur, principal director of patent law and multilateral affairs at the EPO Margot Froehlinger, and British barrister Daniel Alexander QC, discuss how the UK's vote to leave the EU would affect Europe's proposed unitary patent system.

As questions remain over US patent quality, Europe makes its pitch to corporate AmericaLast week the respective heads of the USPTO and EPO were in the spotlight, but for very different reasons. On Tuesday USPTO Director Michelle Lee appeared before the House Judiciary's subcommittee on courts, intellectual property and the internet to face questions from legislators following two recent reports on time wasting among examiners and patent quality. Both reports were highly critical of the agency and so Lee not surprisingly faced some tough questioning from the committee Read more

Korea may have overtaxed foreign patent licensors by billions of dollars; Microsoft pursues refund claimMicrosoft is attempting to retrieve hundreds of millions of dollars from South Korean authorities after claiming that it has been overcharged for taxes levied on patent licence fees it receives from Korean companies, according to reports. With the country's deficit in payments for use of IP rights running into the billions, other big-time foreign patent holders may also have a case for double-checking their licensing-related tax bills.

A UPC post-Brexit will take years to build and not just because of the UK - keep an eye on Germany tooIAM is currently in Milan for the AIPPI World Congress and a topic of much discussion here is the future of the unitary patent system following June's Brexit vote. After years of hard work and the expectation of its implementation over the coming months, the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and EU unitary patent have very uncertain futures now.

To improve Michigan's economy, Mark knows we need strong cities and safe communities to attract a talented workforce and high-tech business investment. That's why Mark fought for legislation to help communities hire additional police officers, and purchase new fire trucks--manufactured right here in Michigan.
As Governor, Mark will work to reverse Gov. Snyder's cuts to local revenue sharing, and improve public safety. He'll also fight for greater investment in our roads, and work to modernize our aging infrastructure.
This is needed because the quality of legal representation provided to defendants who are unable to pay for their own legal defense varies greatly across the state. A core principle of our criminal justice system is to guarantee that an individual charged with a crime be entitled to legal representation, even if they are unable to hire private counsel.
Senate Bill 346 requires collection of a prisoner's DNA sample within three months of incarceration, which will help police solve cold cases sooner by giving them the ability to match samples to other unsolved crimes, identify suspects and then interrogate prisoners while they are still in custody. This will bring relief to victims of violent crimes and their families.
We need to let the professionals in the corrections department determine whether it's appropriate to release prisoners. This change will remove an unneeded layer of bureaucracy and save taxpayers money.

Five people, including two children, were injured Sunday night in a head-on collision on Springfield Road, and one driver is facing DUI charges.
According to a press release from the Nelson County Sheriff's Office, the collision occurred at the Washington County line just before 9 p.m.
Mitchell Hughes, the man accused of shooting De'Porres Thompson last month and was being held on a $100,000 bond has had his bond reduced.
On Feb. 19, Hughes' bond was reduced to $25,000 full cash by Circuit Judge Samuel Todd Spalding during a bond hearing. The $25,000 bond was above the requested figure of $10,000.
St. Catharine College is facing "a very serious issue," and has filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Education.
That term was used by Tim Malloy, of Peritus Public Relations, in a telephone interview Monday afternoon. The firm issued a statement announcing the suit on behalf of the college.
According to the statement, the suit seeks to have the Department of Education release federal student aid funds for which St. Catharine students are eligible.
The Springfield City Council heard some positive news at last Tuesday's regularly scheduled meeting, as the city reported no significant findings from the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year audit.
Jason Strange, of Smith & Co. CPAs in Bardstown, presented this fiscal year's audit and financial statements at the beginning of the meeting.

This year's Springfield-Washington County Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award was presented to a woman who fights multiple sclerosis every day so that she can help children get the education they deserve.

A Springfield native was convicted Tuesday in connection with a bank robbery that took place in January 2015.
After a trial that lasted less than two days, a jury gave Thomas E. Riley, 52, now of Lexington, 25 years in prison. He'll have to serve at least 85 percent of that time.
Forcht Bank employees cheered when his conviction was announced. The Green River Plaza branch of Forcht Bank was the site of the Jan. 23, 2015 robbery.
The Washington County Fiscal Court got a nice surprise Monday morning in the form of a $7,500 check from the Washington County Conservation District.
The check presentation gave the county more money for dead animal removal.
The Springfield-Washington County Chamber of Commerce held it's annual awards night recently, and one thing in particular was learned; a person don't have to have lived in Washington County their whole life to earn praise from the community.
"Even the briefest glance of our 2015 lifetime achievement award recipient would convince anyone that the person you are about to meet is exceptionally deserving," Sr. Claire McGowan said at the banquet as she introduced this year's award winner.
It all started with a Facebook post.
Timmy Churchill and Jamilla Smalley have been working diligently to bring much-needed relief to Flint, Mich., where the water is unsuitable to drink. The two have organized a campaign called the "Flint Water Challenge" to collect drinking water and ship it for distribution to Flint residents.
"It actually started with a Facebook status from a friend in Bardstown," Churchill said.
A Lancaster man was arrested last week and arraigned on Monday in a murder case that occurred at the Washington County Livestock Center.
Eric T. Saylor, 47, is accused of killing Shane E. Thomason, 53, also of Lancaster, on Feb. 1 with a handgun. The shooting occurred outside of the building during a cattle auction.

Stayed here last year as part of our first trip to Thailand and loved it so decided to stay here for 3 nights to start our trip and relax after our very long journey to get here.
Massive & comfortable bed, wonderful service, delicious breakfast with loads of choice and great location. Definitely recommend staying here especially for what you get considering the price!

Hotel is excellent! Rooms are spacious, well equipped (with desk, fridge, safe, huge windows, tea/ coffee making) and very friendly! We used the pool lots and the staff helped us with directions etc......although watch out for the service charges especially around the pool area...... drinks can be bought at the sop opposite the hotel for a fraction of the price....!!.. hope tis helps x

Historical Traveler Reviews Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok
My family stayed here for 5 nights before going on to Phuket and loved every minute of it. The hotel facilities are all first class. The Indian restaurant on the very top floor was excellent. Traditional Indian music played by an authentic Indian group enhanced the wonderful food and service. The children loved the Italian restaurant also . It is well situated for the Emporium shopping centre and public transport is widely available. If ever in Bangkok again there's no other place I would stay.
The umbrella @ Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok
I stayed here between march 31 and april 5 of 2005. My bookings appeared to have gone astray so check-in took longer than anticipated. I paid an extra daily charge of euro 22 (Baht 1100) to upgrade my superior room to an executive one located in the east corner.
Staff at the front desks are generally friendly and capable but rather overloaded which decreases service.
Service in general was OK, exec rooms offer free in-room breakfast. Rooms are good although the airconditioning seemed to have difficulty keeping up with BKK temperatures.
For an outing to the Queen Sirikit Convention Centre I borrowed ... and lost the hotel umbrella. At check-out Rembrandt made me pay 600 Baht, notwithstanding the fact that I had stayed 6 days. No disdussion possible.
Rembrandt is an OK choice at decent rates however, even friendlier service in more modern style at slightly higher rates is being offered by the relatively new Davis Hotel which includes a hip chill-out bar and is just around the corner of the Emporium shopping mall. Do try Davis' ball room sized junior suites!!

Best Hotel we have stayed in -ever
We stayed at this hotel for two nights[wished we had booked more]before moving on to a beach resort.
By far the best Hotel my wife and I have stayed in.You could not fault it -the service was first class and as we had indicated it was our wedding aniversary we were upgraded to an excecutive room on the 22nd floor.
We were also given a complimentary breakfast in the executive suite.Marvellous.
On the two nights we were there we eat in two of the Hotels restaurants-theThai one [Red Pepper] and the Italian one-both excellent.The Hotel also had an Indian and Mexican restaurant.
We also used the Swimming pool which after a very hot day sightseeing was most welcome.
We will go back to Thailand again one day and will stay here again-I would recommend this hotel to anyone you will not be dissapointed.
Splendid hotel for good value with good location
Stayed here in February 2005 for several days. The room was clean, well furnished with a nice view. We'd asked for a queen size bed, but they didn't have any available so gave us two twins which they immediately came up and pushed together. (Hey, we've been married over 15 years so no big deal, unlike the honeymooners below.)
The hotel is a short walk from both the skytrain and metro stations which are the fastest ways to get around Bangkok. Oddly, both systems seem to go the same places and have stations within a block from each other. The metro is slightly cheaper. In the evenings, the hotel often has their own tuktuk at the end of the narrow street the hotel is on which saves you a bit of a walk.
Breakfast has a good selection and is good quality.
The hotel staff speaks excellent English and is VERY helpful.
I'd highly recommend this hotel as a good value and good location.L
Awesome hotel
I stayed at the Rembrandt in May 2004 and found the hotel was very impressive. The room I had was immaculate and all staff were incredibly friendly, professional and had very good English. What I liked about that hotel is that there was a business centre which had internet access, and the selection of on-site restaurants was very good. It was unfortunate that on my last day in Thailand I became ill and could not fly home, but this was no problem for the staff at the Rembrandt who were happy to extend my stay and re-book my flights. There is also an on-site medical centre which came in handy. Overall, I really enjoyed my stat at the Rembrandt and I encourage others to stay here also.
A great stay
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon for four nights and thought it was superb. We arrived at 6 in the morning and expecting the usual "Check in is not until 12 o'clock sir" we were surprised to be met with apologies for not having our room ready and were asked to have a complimentary coffee whilst we waited.
The hotel is close to a skytrain stop and also has some great places to eat near by.
Our room was very clean and well furnished and we got all sorts of honeymoon extras given to us. The staff were very polite at all times and very keen to help.
A great stay and we would certainly stay again.
Rembrandt Hotel
Stayed in Hotel for 4 days. Hotel is situated quite close to the lower end of the city, and is down a back street. The shopping streets are a quick walk away and the markets (night) are a short journey by taxi. I found the breakfast in the morning superb, with a very good selection on offer. My only gripe was the room, I requested a double bed (it was our honeymoon after all) we got a twin room!! But we did enjoy our stay in the Rembrandt.
Nice hotel
very good located if you like to buy things from the streetmarket and very good restaurants are in walking distance. Staff are extremely friendly. Only bad thing I can say about this hotel is the pool area. It can be difficult to find a chair which is not occupied and the poolbar is a little bit expensive compared to prices in Bangkok.

The Bears are determined to get something out of their investment. After spending $7 million last year for the first year of RB Chester Taylor's 4-year, $12.5 million contract, the former Minnesota Viking put up paltry numbers: 112 carries for 267 yards and 3 touchdowns. Those were record-setting numbers as he became first RB with more than 100 carries since the merger in 1970 to average less than 2.4 yards per attempt.
It's obvious he has lost a step, yet Bears coaches are confident in his ability to perform at a higher level going forward. Mike Martz has said Taylor just needs more experience learning the offense before he can produce better numbers.
"He had to learn what we do and we asked him to do a little bit more than he did in the past," Martz told the Chicago Tribune. "You've got to remember, too, that's this is a first year in that type of offense. They are not familiar with it. Plus, all of the coaches are not familiar with it. So it's a growing thing."
Bears running back coach Tim Spencer also recently sung Taylor's praises, saying he was satisfied with his production and that he'll have better numbers next year.
"Obviously, we've got things to improve on but it's nothing big," Spencer said.
It's apparent the Bears coaching staff are behind Taylor, at least publicly. But one has to wonder how worried they are at his drastic drop in production. The team was so desperate to find a role for him in the offense last year that they turned him into a short-yardage back – practically unheard of with a small player known for his third-down prowess. So it's hard to believe the staff is as confident with him as they show.
Yet, even though all indications point to Taylor being washed up, the Bears will most likely hang on to him, for money's sake. The front office has a history of keeping players on the roster solely due to the big dollars paid to him the year or two before – Nathan Vasher anyone? So again will they stick it out with Taylor, who only costs the team a modest $1.25 million this year.
The problem is that there are only 53 players on any NFL roster. Taylor uses up one of roster spaces. It's obvious there are more-worthy players in the draft and free agency who could fill that slot, but the Bears need to save face. He's cheap and could turn his game around with one year of Martz' offense under his belt. If he continues to play poorly though, Chicago will need to eat crow and let him go before he does too much long- and short-term damage.
Listening to the Fans
The Bears have begun a season ticket holder advisory group to help give a voice to the fans. The 11-member group will work with Chicago's front office to find common ground in the areas of game-day experience, ticket operations, marketing and customer service. This is not the only recent effort by the front office to keep its fans happy. In 2010, season ticket holders were offered an incremental payment plan for each playoff round.
It's a good sign for an organization not known to be the most fan-friendly. Considering the Bears' waiting list for season tickets is as long as Chicago's Gold Coast, team execs have no financial incentive to go out of their way to connect with season ticket holders. Yet their willingness to reach out and give the fans a voice could mean a change in philosophy going forward.
Assistants Pay Won't Be Cut
Chicago worked into the contracts of its current assistant coaches a clause calling for a 25-percent pay cut for all assistant coaches on the day a lockout would begin, along with a team option to terminate the contract altogether with a 60-day notice. Yet team president Ted Phillips has no said no changes will occur until September at the earliest. Bears assistants have been assured their pay won't be docked unless a lockout forces NFL games to be canceled.
"I've told them exactly what we're going to do in the event a lockout occurs,'' Phillips said. "We're having no layoffs, no furloughs, no pay cuts until we actually miss games."

Labor force to continue to diversify
December 05, 2001
The diverse demographic groups that make up the labor force are projected to grow at different rates between 2000 and 2010. As a result, the sex, race, and ethnic origin profile of the workforce will continue to change.
For women, the rate of growth in the labor force is expected to slow, but it will still increase at a faster rate than that of men. As a result, the share of women in the labor force is projected to increase from 47 percent in 2000 to 48 percent in 2010.
Among race and ethnic groups, the Asian and other labor force is projected to increase most rapidly. By 2010, the Hispanic labor force is projected to be larger than the black labor force, primarily because of faster population growth. Despite slower-than-average growth and a declining share of the total labor force, white non-Hispanics will continue to make up more than two-thirds of the work force.
These data are from the BLS Employment Projections program. For more information, see "Labor force projections to 2010: steady growth and changing composition," by Howard N Fullerton, Jr. and Mitra Toossi, Monthly Labor Review, November 2001. (The BLS employment projections for the period 2000-2010 were completed prior to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. BLS will continue to review its projections and, as the long-term consequences of September 11 become clearer, will incorporate these effects in subsequent analyses of industrial and occupational outlook.)

Manitowoc board passes resolution supporting Milwaukee County Board
The Manitowoc County supervisors have passed a resolution criticizing Republican-backed legislation that would weaken the power of the Milwaukee County Board.
Manitowoc County is three counties north of Milwaukee County, but its supervisors weighed in this week to express their disapproval over the resolution that takes away resources and authority from their Milwaukee County counterparts. They passed a resolution 20-4 opposing the state's legislation.
The resolution was written by Supervisor Jim Brey, who said the Wisconsin Legislature's action violates the principle of home rule, the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter reported.
He said "there would be hell to pay" if state legislators tried to tell Manitowoc County supervisors how to do their jobs, and that the action opens the door to the state micromanaging county governments.
The bill was approved by the state Senate last week and ratified by the Assembly on a voice vote. It now goes to Gov. Scott Walker, who's expected to sign it.
The measure increases the power of the Milwaukee County executive, reduces the terms of county supervisors from four to two years and requires a binding referendum next year on cutting supervisor salaries from about $51,000 to $24,000.
Republican lawmakers have said the Milwaukee County Board is their only target and that the measure reins in what they described as an uncontrollable board unwilling to make necessary reforms.
Manitowoc County Supervisors Rick Gerroll and Kevin Behnke were among those who voted no on the resolution. Gerroll said the salaries of Milwaukee County supervisors were excessive, while Behnke said the bill will fix a lot of Milwaukee County's problems.
But Supervisor Todd Holschbach voted with the majority, saying the state Legislature shouldn't interfere with local control of a county or municipality.

Hi, I was wondering what audio interfaces or DAC's is the best investment around 500 usd. I will be using it with the lcd 2 r2 for producing music. I was thinking of Benchmark DAC1 but after some thought I thought it was a little too expensive, any recommendations?
audio interface or DAC

I owned 2 Benchmark Dac1s in my past and while it is a good dac and can be had for around $500 used, I think there might be a few nicer sounding ones. Two that would be on my short list although I have not heard them would be the Apogee Duet 2 for a Mac and the Halide Dac Hd for either Mac or PC. In either case it would help to try them first or buy with a trial period.
Whoa you did not tell us if you have an amp for the LCD 2, and using headphones for producing music??, not sure I would.

Yeah I don't have an amp for the LCD 2.. Not sure if can afford one now, a decent audio interface is what I'm going for now. I will check on these.
Producing with headphones is alright.. not as good as with good monitors though but okay.
Thanks for the replies :)

Electron cooling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electron cooling is a method to shrink the size, divergence, and energy spread of charged particle beams without removing particles from the beam. Since the number of particles remains unchanged and the space coordinates and their derivatives (angles) are reduced, this means that the phase space occupied by the stored particles is compressed. It is equivalent to reducing the temperature of the beam. See also stochastic cooling.
The method was invented by Gersh Budker at INP, Novosibirsk, in 1966 for the purpose of increasing luminosity of hadron colliders.[1] It was first tested in 1974 with 68 MeV protons at NAP-M storage ring at INP.
Basically, electron cooling works as follows:
- A beam of dense quasi-monoenergetic electron beam is produced and merged with the ion beam to be cooled.
- The velocity of the electrons is made equal to the average velocity of the ions.
- The ions undergo Coulomb scattering in the electron "gas" and lose energy, which is transferred from the ions to the co-streaming electrons until some thermal equilibrium is attained.
- The electron beam is finally bent away from the ion beam.

Breeders' Cup: Harmonious in, Blue Bunting out of Filly and Mare Turf
Harmonious, a two-time Grade 1 winner, will start in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Churchill Downs on Nov. 4, but the three-time Group 1 winner Blue Bunting will not make the trip from Europe.
Those developments add a longshot closer to the Filly and Mare Turf, but deny the race England's top 3-year-old filly this year.
Harmonious, 4, was third in the Grade 1 Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 1. She is winless in five starts this year, all graded stakes, and has never been worse than fourth for owners Marty, Pam, and Emily Wygod.
"We'll see how things go and take a shot," trainer John Shirreffs said.
In 2010, Harmonious won the Grade 1 American Oaks at Hollywood Park and Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland and was 10th after a rough trip in the BC Filly and Mare Turf at Churchill Downs.
Blue Bunting is finished racing for this year, according to Simon Crisford, manager of Godolphin racing. Earlier this week, Crisford indicated that Blue Bunting had not trained to expectations recently and would be given a break. Until then, Blue Bunting was a candidate for the British Champion Filly and Mare Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
Blue Bunting won the English 1000 Guineas, Irish Oaks, and Yorkshire Oaks earlier this year, before finishing sixth against males in the Group 1 St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster last month.

Passenger transport demand
Key messages
Passenger transport demand in EEA-32 is growing slower than GDP. Demand for air transport is growing faster than for any other mode of passenger transport with rail transport coming second (between 1996 and 2006).
Is passenger transport demand being decoupled from economic growth?
Trend in passenger transport demand and GDP
Note: Aviation is not included
Trends in the annual intensity of passenger transport demand
Note: Total passenger transport demand data including air are not available for all countries and years
Over the past decade, passenger transport growth has been slower on average than the growth of the economy. However, passenger transport demand has grown steadily in the EEA countries as a whole, thereby making it increasingly difficult to stabilise or reduce the environmental impacts of transport.
The majority of countries saw growth in passenger transport demand every year, with the exception of Austria and Switzerland. Private car passenger growth was observed in all countries, which influenced the demand for passenger transport in the region. The main underlying factor in this trend is the growth in incomes coupled with a tendency to spend more or less the same share of disposable income on transport. Additional income therefore means additional travel budget, which allows more frequent, faster, farther and more luxurious travelling.
Overall growth in passenger transport demand has been slower than for GDP. Passenger transport growth was marginally higher than GDP growth in 2002, but was then surpassed by growth in GDP from 2003 onwards.
Between 1996 and 2006 Turkey and Austria's bus usage has increased the most. Iceland, Estonia and Belgium have experienced the highest level of decline in bus usage across Europe.
The UK increased rail use by 45 % over a ten year period from 1996 to 2006. France experienced an increase in rail usage by 34 % over the same period. Bulgaria, Switzerland and Romania all experienced declines in rail usage.
Turkey and Greece experienced the largest increase in road use. The only country to have a decline in road use was Austria (less than one percent).
Indicator specification and metadata
Indicator definition
Passenger transport demand is defined as the amount of passenger-kilometres travelled every year in a country or group of countries. Inland passenger transport includes transport by passenger cars, buses and coaches, and trains.
Modal split is defined as the proportion of total passenger-kilometres allocated to different transport modes every year.
The decoupling indicator is defined as the annual changes in the ratio between passenger-kilometres (inland modes) and GDP (Gross Domestic Product in constant prices) growth.
The unit used to express passenger transport volume is the passenger-kilometre (pkm), which represents one passenger travelling a distance of one kilometre. It is based on transport by cars, buses and coaches, and trains.
GDP is Gross Domestic Product expressed in constant euro indexed to the year 2005.
Passenger transport demand and GDP are shown as an index (2005=100). The ratio of the former to the latter is indexed on year t-1 (i.e. annual decoupling/intensity changes) in order to be able to observe changes in the annual intensity of passenger transport demand relative to economic growth (GDP). For the oldest indicators (before 2010) passenger transport demand and GDP are shown as an index (2000=100).
Policy context and targets
Context description
The EU has set itself the objective of reducing the link between economic growth and passenger transport demand ('decoupling') in order to create a more sustainable transport system. Reducing the link between transport growth and GDP has been a central theme in EU transport policy intended to minimise the negative impacts of transport.
The policy target considered in this indicator is the significant decoupling of transport growth from GDP growth in order to reduce the negative environmental effects of transport and congestion.

In 2001, the Commission issued a White Paper setting an agenda for the European transport policy throughout 2010. This programme was updated in the mid-term review of 2006.

Methodology for indicator calculation
To measure the decoupling of passenger demand from economic growth, the volume of passenger transport relative to GDP (i.e. the intensity) is calculated.
Methodology for gap filling
No need for gap filling
Methodology references
Methodology uncertainty
To answer the question of whether passenger demand is being decoupled from economic growth, the intensity of passenger transport demand relative to changes in real GDP is looked at. A reduction in intensity should signal relative decoupling, as a relative break in the correlation between transport demand and economic growth would then be achieved.
A decoupling indicator compares pressures on the environment to changes in the relevant economical variables to which the environmental pressures are causally linked. The present indicator compares the pkm growth rate as a proxy of the pressures on the environment caused by transport. It is considered a good proxy for the intended analysis, even though it is known to be inaccurate, as pkm in isolation do not fully explain the level of environmental pressures.
Data sets uncertainty
Figures on passenger-kilometres travelled by air are available only as an EU-28 aggregate. Air passenger-kilometres are a provisional estimate for domestic and intra-EU-28 flights. Figures for car, bus and rail travel are available separately for all EU-28 Member States. The sources used by the European Commission (DG-MOVE) include national statistics, estimates, the International Transport Forum and Eurostat.
Rationale uncertainty
Even if two countries have the same passenger transport intensity, or show the same trend over time, there could be important environmental differences between them. The link to environmental impact has to be complemented on the basis of the energy consumption and fuels used to satisfy passenger demand, and the technology used, in addition to the new infrastructure-related impacts.

My ideal retirement circumstance would be to own a little cottage, no more than 1500 square feet, and probably much smaller than that, on about 1/4 acre or less. It would have to have a garage and a woodstove. And then put that in a 55 plus community where everyone had the same idea as me that it would be heavenly to have quiet, considerate neighbors, and garden in my own little yard. Why don't developers create more of those??? Of course, I do know the answer to that, they make more money building more dense condo type communities. I just know I'd miss gardening, and having my own piece of land, so I don't really want to live in a condo. But I would also really love to have neighbors my own age, not inconsiderate loud 20-somethings. My income isn't very high, so I can only afford cheap neighborhoods, and that's what you get unfortunately.
Cottage Community of 55 plus

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Wine Maker Notes
Engaging and seductive, our 2007 Pinot Noir offers complex aromas of Bing cherry and bright raspberry, which spill over the senses and mingle with bergamot tea, Asian spices and a subtle whiff of tanned leather. The intensity continues through the midpalate, with layers languidly lingering and swirling across the tongue. A distinctive minerality joins the finish, exposing the wine's unique origin. Swirl, sniff and sip to enjoy the subtle nuances of this intricately crafted wine, then pair it with a Parmesan-and herb-dusted flatbread or duck rillette.

Oh my gosh, what a day.
The nice thing about working a random schedule is that sometimes you can drink mimosas on a Tuesday morning and not feel guilty.
Oh, you think I'm kidding?
Well this is how my morning went:
I picked Ashley up right about 10. She's having her brakes on her car done so I went to get her. We came back to my place to watch The Bachelorette, drink mimosas and eat cinnamon rolls. We each had probably 4 mimosas. It was amazing. And The Bachelorette was pretty good aside from the fact that I don't think I'm an Ed fan any long. I definitely think I'm more into Kiptyn now. He's SO adorable and he and Jill are just so cute together. Next week's The Men Tell All should be VERY interesting, especially if Wes is back. Oh gosh.
After The Bachelorette we drove out to Caribou. I love that we're both there all the time, lol. But it was fun and nice to not be there working for once, lol.
AND THEN after coffee we went to B-Dubs (that's Buffalo Wild Wings) for wings and salads. And another drink. Lol, yes, it is 3:00 on a Tuesday and I can tell you I've had 5 alcoholic drinks today. Awesome, lol.
The OTHER big news is that we are putting an offer on a house today. Eep! The house is $115,000 and we're going to offer $112,000. It's a forclosure and there's two banks involved so we're not sure how low we could go but it's also dirt cheap for how much house it is. Eek! I'm so nervous and excited! We want to do the closing during the middle of October so that we can have a few weeks to move and paint (our lease is up in November). So please please keep your fingers crossed for us! We would LOVE to have this house!!
Now I think it's time for a nap. More soon!

Why I love Dublin
"More than anything I love Dublin's intimacy. It's really just a big capital village, where going for a walk is as much an opportunity for socialising as actually making an arrangement to meet someone. As a travel writer, I've always played host to visitors from out of town, which means I get the chance to experience the city with an outsider's perspective, exploring those corners I often take for granted and..."

I pureed 2 butternut squash's and doubled the recipe because of it. I wanted to make a healthy breakfast muffin for my husband who leaves early in the morning. So I did everything according to directions except I baked them in as a muffin for 30 min. They came out perfect, and my husband loves them. Thanks for the recipe Sheila!
Besides tasting great,its healthy too!Very easy to make, my kids helped me make it for their dad,the honey sugar was so pretty on top,my kids and husband ate it up!
Moist, delicious & relatively healthy cake. I reduced sugar to 1.25 cups and it was still plenty sweet without frosting. Thanks for the tips on using fresh squash. I, too, used 3 cups of fresh squash instead of canned.
