An open letter to governments and their negotiators
As the UN climate negotiations kick off in Doha, Qatar, people all over the world are watching as floods wash away their lives, fires consume their houses and droughts decimate food crops. Just this morning, UNEP released a report warning that melting permafrost could release massive amounts of methane–a powerful greenhouse gas–into the atmosphere, bringing the planet ever closer to runaway climate change. Here's a letter from three powerful advocates for a safe climate to the leaders and negotiators in Doha:
To really address climate change UNFCCC-COP18 should decide to leave under the soil more than 2/3 of the fossil reserves
by Bill McKibben, Nnimmo Bassey & Pablo Solon
2012 saw the shocking melt of the Arctic, leading our greatest climatologist to declare a 'planetary emergency,' and it saw weather patterns wreck harvests around the world, raising food prices by 40% and causing family emergencies in poor households throughout the world.
That's what happens with 0.8ºC of global warming. If we are going to stop this situation from getting worse, an array of institutions have explained this year precisely what we need to do: leave most of the carbon we know about in the ground and stop looking for more.
If we want a 50-50 chance of staying below two degrees, we have to leave 2/3 of the known reserves of coal and oil and gas underground; if we want an 80% chance, we have to leave 80% of those reserves untouched. That's not "environmentalist math" or some radical interpretation–that's from the report of the International Energy Agency last month.
It means that–without dramatic global action to change our path–the end of the climate story is already written. There is no room for doubt–absent remarkable action, these fossil fuels will burn, and the temperature will climb creating a chain reaction of climate related natural disasters.
Negotiators should cease their face-saving, their endless bracketing and last minute cooking of texts and concentrate entirely on figuring out how to live within the carbon budget scientists set. We can't emit more than 565 more gigatons of carbon before 2050, but at the current pace we'll blow past that level in 15 years. If we want to have a chance to stick to this budget by 2020 we can't send to the atmosphere more than 200 gigatons.
Rich countries who have poured most of the carbon into the atmosphere (especially the planet's sole superpower) need to take the lead in emission reductions and the emerging economies have also to make commitments to reduce the exploitation of oil, coal and gas. The right to development should be understood as the obligation of the states to guarantee the basic needs of the population to enjoy a fulfilled and happy life, and not as a free ticket for a consumer and extractivist society that doesn't take into account the limits of the planet and the wellbeing of all humans.
There's no longer time for diplomatic delays. Most of the negotiators in the Eighteenth Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) know that these are the facts. Now is the time to act for the future of humanity and Nature.
(Bill McKibben founder of 350.org, Nnimmo Bassey Environmental Rights Action & Coordinator of Oilwatch International, Pablo Solon Executive Director of Focus on the Global South, former Bolivian Ambassador to the UN and former chief negotiator for climate change).

AUBURN, Ala. - Sylvester Croom is getting tired of hearing the word "upset" when his team wins a big SEC game.
That word was used Saturday when reporters asked the SEC's first black coach about his team's 19-14 win at Auburn.
"We felt like it was a dead-even game coming in," Croom said. "I am sure some people would call it an upset, but we don't care, we know who we are."
Upset or not, it was another bit win for Croom in his home state. Croom is a former Alabama player and assistant coach and his Bulldogs defeated the Crimson Tide 24-16 last year in Tuscaloosa.
Croom, in his fourth year at Mississippi State with a 11-26 record, said he also doesn't consider the win a personal victory.
"I told them (the players) that it wasn't for me and that I had been here before. I have beaten Auburn lots of times," Croom said, referring to his years at Alabama.
Christian Ducre scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:15 to play and Mississippi State stopped Auburn inside the 10 in the final seconds.
Mississippi State (2-1, 1-0 SEC) had lost six straight against Auburn.
It was the second consecutive upset at home for the Tigers (1-2, 0-1), who lost to South Florida 26-23 in overtime last week.
But Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville said the Tigers would not panic after the two losses.
"It's not going to be overnight to get it all going in the right direction, but this hurts, especially a conference game at home. Last week hurts, but this one hurts a lot more," Tuberville said.
It was a game of changing momentum.
Mississippi State took an early 13-0 lead and Auburn came back to take a 14-13 halftime lead thanks to the play of freshman quarterback Kodi Burns, who saw action for the first time in his career when embattled starter Brandon Cox was benched after throwing two early interceptions.
Tuberville said Burns worked a lot this week in practice in case he was needed in the game.

Following the inaugural 2013 installation LES BALLETS DE FAILE, New York City Ballet was proud to collaborate with the French artist known as JR for the second annual Art Series. JR shared his Art Series installation — a massive trompe l'oeil rendering of an eye created with life-size photos of NYCB dancers on the floor of the Promenade and a large wheatpaste photo on the front windows of the David H Koch Theater — during three special performance evenings on January 23, February 7, and 13, 2014, when every seat in the house was available for just $29. On these evenings, every audience member received a takeaway created specifically for this event.
To inquire about any of the orchestra-level pieces of JR's photography mounted on reclaimed wood shown as part of the NYCB Art Series installation, please contact JR via his website.
Exhibiting freely in the streets of the world, JR catches the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors. His largest project to date, INSIDE OUT, was born in 2011 when JR won the TED prize and called for the creation of a global art project with the potential to change the world. Transforming messages of personal identity into public works of art, more than 172,000 people have taken part in nearly 8,600 locations around the world.

The NFL draft still may be months away, but prospect rankings are starting to become clearer as each week passes. Yet there is still plenty of time for players to make their mark before the season ends and make a lasting impression on scouts.
One of the NFL's most important positions is wide receiver. Without a top flight wideout who can catch the ball, a quarterback is left hung out to dry. Just look at Sam Bradford for instance. Prior to the arrival of Brandon Lloyd, he was without a threat at the receiver position, and it showed as St. Louis's passing attacking suffered.
Having a dynamic threat lined up on the outside is vital for any team to have long-term success. Let's take a look at the top receiver prospects and which players will be called upon to reinvigorate some teams' passing attacks.

It can be important for an United Airlines employee to discuss an injury during a layover with an attorney. As demonstrated by numerous cases, including that of a flight attendant bitten by a spider while sleeping in a hotel during a layover, a Los Angeles flight attendant may be eligible for workers' compensation. Understanding how the concept of "course and scope of employment" applies to layover injuries is essential to taking the best course of action in this type of situation.
Workers' compensation benefits are provided to employees who are injured in the course and scope of employment. There are some key differences in the way that concept is applied to the circumstances of traveling workers, such as United Airlines flight attendants, and typical, fixed place employees. The range of circumstances that can be considered as within the course and scope of employment is much broader for traveling employees, allowing them to be compensated for injuries that would typically be denied had they occurred in a worker with a fixed place of employment.
After-hours injuries or accidents that occur during travel to and from the job are not covered in fixed place employees. However, if a Los Angeles flight attendant is injured in a hotel or restaurant during a layover in Chicago or while in route to one, those injuries may well be compensable. Generally, workers who are traveling on behalf of their employers are regarded as acting within the course of employment throughout the entire period of travel. Procuring food and shelter are considered incidents of employment in the case of traveling employees, and injuries sustained during the course of these activities are typically covered by workers' compensation.
For example, a flight attendant who was injured on a layover due to a spider bite that occurred as she slept in a hotel room was deemed eligible for compensation and that decision was affirmed on appeal. While the flight attendant was not actively engaged in work-related activity at the time of the injury, the incident was determined to be within the scope and course of employment, as she was required, for employment purposes, to stay at the hotel in the layover city and was on call when the injury occurred.
Additionally, under some circumstances, flight attendants can receive workers' compensation benefits for layover injuries that occur during social or leisure activities. In one such case, a Los Angeles flight attendant was injured during a sight-seeing excursion while on layover in Puerto Rico. Initially, her claim was denied, but that decision was reversed on appeal. The court found that the activity was a reasonably expected or anticipated event incident to her employer's requirement that she spend time away from home.
Layover injuries can often turn into complex cases when flight attendants pursue workers' compensation benefits. Many gray areas exist in terms of exactly what circumstances can be deemed within the scope and course of employment of a traveling employee. For this reason, it is in the best interests of United Airlines employees to consult an experienced workers' compensation attorney when layover injuries occur to ensure that these cases are handled to their best advantage.

The New York Times' editorial board endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for president on Saturday, Sept. 24. "Through war and recession, Americans born since 9/11 have had to grow up fast, and they deserve a grown-up president. A lifetime's commitment to solving problems in the real world qualifies Hillary Clinton for this job, and the country should put her to work," the paper wrote. The Times also backed Clinton during the Democratic primary fight.
2009: Susan Atkins, a convicted murderer who was a member of the "Manson family," dies of natural causes at age 61 at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, California. Atkins was convicted for her participation in eight of the killings committed by Charles Manson and his followers in 1969, including the most notorious, the "Tate/LaBianca" murders. She was sentenced to death, which was subsequently commuted to life in prison.

We've been enjoying the challenge of developing gluten-free recipes for professional bakers who use American Almond's nut flours. Chewy molasses-type cookies work well in gluten-free versions. Here we've combined blanched almond flour, which absorbs some of the moisture and binds the batter, to enhance a multigrain formula for Gluten Free Hermits.
Here are a few tips when working with this recipe. Let the batter sit for 15 minutes before you scoop and portion the batter onto the baking sheets. This time allows the buckwheat, millet and almond flour to absorb the liquid in the recipe. We like to use a cookie or ice cream scoop to make the cookies uniform in size. Resist the temptation to overbake these cookies. Gluten-free baked goods can be fragile and crumbly. Simply let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet. Keeping the moisture in the cookies is the secret to preserving their shelf life. Make sure they are packed in a tightly covered container. Pack the cookies in layers separated by waxed or parchment paper to keep them from sticking together. You can freeze these hermits and then take out as many as you want to eat at a time. At room temperature, these hermits will still taste great after 3 or 4 days.
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
2 cups American Almond® Blanched Almond Flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour (starch)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 cup raisins
Yield: approximately 2 dozen cookies

2. A: Consider the walrus.
You might think you've already decided how you're going to vote in this important fight, but I hope you'll genuinely consider what both sides have to offer and, once you've weighed the facts: choose walruses. Walruses are sociable, tactile, hilarious, and smart. Polar bears, while ostensibly "cute," are cold-blooded killers who would eat you alive if given a chance. Walruses love to snuggle, make out, sleep, and make crazy noises. If we look deeply into the eyes of a walrus, what emerges is a picture of ourselves. Walruses are full of love. I find them adorable, but more importantly, they have heart, soul, and mustaches. -Summer Anne Burton
3. A: Are you serious? We live in Polar Bear World. SMH.
Remember your favorite animal in third grade? GUESS WHAT? IT'S STILL YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL! Have you ever seen a walrus? It looks like an angry man who likes to go bowling a lot but isn't particularly good. You know who's good at bowling? Polar bears, maybe. I'm not sure. Other things polar bears are good at: loving, fighting, hunting, snuggling, math, cuddling, singing, and most other things that end in "-ing." They also invented the facepalm and several types of antibiotics that have saved countless children. That's right, children. -Dave Stopera
4. B: Check out these vocalizations!
I've never seen a polar bear do anything other than look vaguely cute or kill a smaller and more innocent creature. Meanwhile, walruses are making noises like this crazy beast. If you think looks > personality, choose the polar bear. But if you understand that what really matters is the crazy-ass noise this big guy makes at 0:10, vote walrus.
5. B: Singing? Polar bears have no time for singing, they are too busy training for a black belt.
Which they will also use only for good and to save even more children. That's right, children. Again.
6. C: Baby walruses are heart-meltingly adorable.
Not only do they have cute faces, but apparently they are incredibly tactile creatures who love to be snuggled and cuddled. JUST TRY to look deeply into this little big guy's face and tell him that he shouldn't be the next big animal. Guess what? He'll want to give you a hug either way. <3 <3 <3
This description of what it's like to snuggle with a baby walrus should tell you all you need to know.
This orphaned baby walrus doesn't understand why he isn't already your favorite animal.
OK, I am dead from the cuteness.
10. C: Clearly, you were either born without eyes or have never seen a baby polar bear. I hope it's the latter, because if not I am very sorry for making fun of your very serious disability.
Polar bears would never make fun of a very serious disability.
11. I'm sorry about your eyes, or lack thereof.
12. D: Walruses are super-smooth, and they have diverse taste in music.
Above, you see a walrus playing the saxophone, smoothly.
Below, a walrus dancing to Michael Jackson is a smooth criminal.
14. D: What's all this about music, again? Sorry, most polar bears are too busy training for their next triathalon.
15. E: What was that about working out?
16. Sorry, this walrus was too busy training like a boss to hear you.
18. E: Sorry, I can't hear you over this GIF of a polar bear being tickled.
19. F: Walruses are so humble that they're super-embarrassed by birthday celebrations.
20. F: Polar bears will viciously attack you if you forget to wish them a happy birthday.
21. G: Walruses are hilarious.
Everything they do is infused with a sense of humor!
22. G: Polar bears, despite being what many call "nature's busiest animal," still find time out of their intense training for some fun too.
24. H: Rob Lowe loves walruses.
The only thing cuter than Rob Lowe in this picture is that baby walrus.
26. H: Polar bears don't need Rob Lowe's charity. They can get drinks on their own. Speaking of drinking, I once saw a polar bear shotgun four beers in a row and eat the cans.
27. I: Walruses have excellent mustaches.
But they're still embarrassed by all this attention, because they don't have HUGE EGOS like some bears we can think of…
28. I: That walrus doesn't look comfortable in his own skin. Polar bears, on the other hand, are so confident in their physical appearance that they spend most of their day taking new Facebook pics.
29. J: Walruses are passionate lovers.
May 6, 1967: Two walruses kiss at the Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany.
30. J: Polar bears are more interested in long-term, committed relationships instead of one-night stands. You can't be too careful these days.
31. They also love creatures of every species…even walruses.
33. K: One more thing: Here's that baby walrus again, snuggling up to one of his friends because his heart is completely full of love and acceptance for all people and other creatures great and small.
34. K: Have you ever seen a walrus frolic through a field of flowers? Oh, wait? You haven't? That's because walruses can't walk. SORRY, WALRUSES, BUT THESE FLOWERS ARE BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy "swimming" or whatever!
35. Ooooooh, walruses. Looks like you just got polar burned. Need a hug?
Voting is now closed.
Walruses win (by the tiniest of margins)! More to come – keep track of it all here.
- Donald Trump's supporters think his comments about Miss Universe are no big deal.
- World leaders hailed the legacy of former Israeli statesman Shimon Peres at his state funeral in Jerusalem.
- Anti-Mafia police in Naples have recovered two Vincent van Gogh paintings that were stolen in Amsterdam 14 years ago.

Every boxer that gets hate deserves it to some extent.
The only one who I can think of right now is Donaire who is fighting 4 times this year...

I don't like it when people say Khan has never ducked anyone. He didn't want to fight Maidana, Maidana was paid to step aside for a year or 3 fights....whichever came first. After the year was up he still refused to fight Maidana. Maidana had to write a begging letter to whichever belt organisation it was to force Khan to fight him. Only the was the fight made.
Ducked Prescott's repeated challenges, has refused to redeem himself after that loss. And from a business point of view that fight is huge...... That fight will sell like hot cakes.

This forum really is full of a bunch of emotional sissys
So you hate on a fighter because of his fanbase? Who gives a flying **** what his fans say you set of emotional b1tches. Its common sense that certain fighters are going to have fans who are gonna overrate them and think the world of them. Fighters like Bute and Khan are not exactly a common entity in boxing so of course they're gonna have many deluded fans who think the world of them. I cant think of many Polish Canadians(or whatever the **** he is) or British Pakistanis at world level in boxing today. Of course it would just be better if this nationalistic crap wasn't even relevant in boxing but it is what it is.
Every fighter has his fair share of retarded fans, its common sense the ones with a bigger/more diverse fanbase will have more than say Jonny Nobody with a total of 3 fans to his name. Stop being a emotional little girl and judging a fighter on his fanbase and just judge them on errrr i dunno maybe the actual boxing bit?

Hi Clarer,
From what I have heard from other females working in BKK, women are far and few between. It is easier to get a job as a female since I think they are more in demand. Most primary schools prefer to hire woman. This is just my opinion, and others are welcome to chime in.

Don't forget: check the shop's returns policy before you buy
Published 02/11/2012 | 06:00
Q Maureen contacted Smart Consumer with a question that often comes up.
She writes: "I bought a coat on Saturday last and when I got home and fitted the coat on again I felt that the material was too stiff and the coat felt uncomfortable on."
She then telephoned the shop saying that she wanted to return the coat and asked if she could get a refund.
However, Maureen "was told that it was the policy of the shop not to give refunds".
"What are my rights in relation to this situation?" she asks.
A It's a bitter pill to swallow, but in fact for a 'change of mind' situation like this it is up to the shop whether they will accept a return and give you a refund or not.
Under consumer law you are entitled to a remedy such as repair, replacement or refund, but that's only if there is a fault with the product or an incorrect description is given for example. In Maureen's case she simply doesn't like the coat now, and that means she has no legal entitlement to return the coat and get a refund. Whether she can or not will depend on the shop's returns policy. While most good shops will allow returns, it seems that in this case they do not -- so all Maureen can do is to ask for some goodwill and hope for the best.
As we're entering the busiest shopping period of the year, please remember this and adhere to the following golden rule when doing all your Christmas shopping: always ask what the shop's returns policy is and if they do not except unwanted returns, think twice before you buy.
The one exception to this is if you buy online, where for most products you have a 'cooling-off' period of at least seven days.

After months of speculation, BMW India has finally reintroduced its lustrous SUV, X6 in the country. This four-wheeler represents a new breed of styling in the SUV segment owing to its coupe like silhouette and bold body structure. This model from the German auto giant has been introduced in only one variant with M sport package as standard. This second generation version has made its debut at the last year's auto expo held in Moscow. The company claims that this SUV was produced and comprehensively re-engineered with the third generation X5 in a joint development program. The automaker also stated that this vehicle is about 40 Kgs lighter than its predecessor, as it is said to be built using high strength steel, aluminum and thermoplastics. It is already available in some international markets in a few trim levels, but in India, it comes only in xDrive40 trim. It is equipped with a an evolved 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine under the hood. The manufacturer has updated the transmission with a newly developed 8-speed sport automatic transmission. It breaks the 100 Kmph barrier in just 5.8 seconds, which is remarkable for an SUV. As speculated earlier, this vehicle has been brought to the Indian soil through the CBU route.
There are several updates which we can see in terms of both inside and out. Starting with the exteriors, it gets a modified air dam, re-designed air inlets, and repositioned fog lamps. At the same time, its also gets LED tail lamps, new design headlight cluster, a set of stylish alloy wheels and redesigned bumpers. The addition of M Sport package is another aspect that gives a modern appeal to the vehicle. It is blessed with driver assistance features like a full color BMW Head-Up display that can project all the relevant information directly into the driver's line of vision. Another such feature is the BMW Night Vision with Dynamic light spot that has a technology to detect larger animals and people at night and illuminates them even at a significant distance. However, these features are available as optional fitments. As for the comfort and functionality, it hosts an array of features like 4-zone automatic air conditioning system, park distance control, electrically adjustable seats and an advanced iDrive unit with handwriting recognition system. In terms of safety, this model is equipped with sophisticated aspects like active front head restraints, airbags, electronic vehicle immobilizer with crash sensor and side impact protection. This newly launched SUV will now take on the likes of Audi Q7, Porsche Macan and Volvo XC90 and Mercedes Benz GL Class in India.
The external appearance of this second generation BMW X6 explains that it has retained the same body structure from its predecessor. However, it gets much bolder and aggressive in its design that certainly lures the auto enthusiasts. The front facade is fitted with a slightly pronounced kidney bean shaped grille, which is designed with vertical slats and thick chrome surround. This is complimented by the bold lines on the bonnet. The headlight cluster gets a bit sleek and is housed with LED headlights featuring high beam assistance. The bumpers have been redesigned to give a masculine look to the frontage. It has a nudge guard sort of arrangement featuring air inlets. It also has round shaped fog lamps along with chrome accents that renders it a premium appeal. From the side facet, it looks more like a crossover and a coupe. It gets all the styling aspects like a set of alloy wheels, body colored ORVMs including door handles and black B pillars. The rear end gives you a glimpse of a sedan, thanks to its boot lid. The tail light cluster is powered by LED brake lights and turn indicators that further adds to its elegance. The rear bumper is in body color, but it seems to be assembled with some sort of a ceramic look-alike material that connects both the exhaust pipes. Overall, this second generation X6 looks refreshing and it will certainly lure the automobile enthusiasts.
Exterior Measurements:
This reintroduced SUV has the same external measurements like its predecessor with a total length measuring 4909mm, width at 2170mm and height at 1702mm. It has a long wheelbase of 2933mm, which explains about the cabin space. At the same time, it also has a minimum ground clearance of 212mm that contributes for its off-road capabilities.
he insides are quite refined as every inch inside the cabin reflects richness and craftsmanship of skilled designers. The manufacturer has used a great amount of leather and superior grade plastic for designing the cabin. It gets a completely redesigned dashboard with fine-wood accents with glossy finish along with a few metallic inserts. The steering wheel has a signature three-spoke design along with the company's logo embedded on it. This leather wrapped steering wheel is mounted with several illuminated control switches related to audio, calls and cruise control. Right behind this, there is a large instrument cluster that houses analogue gauges along with a color display. The seating arrangement is luxurious that can host at least five occupants. These seats are covered with premium grade leather upholstery that renders an opulent look to the cabin. While the seats have electrical adjustment facility along with lumbar support for added comfort. The company has given a lot of importance to the driver orientation to enhance convenience and driving experience. For this, its floor and the center console in the cockpit are equipped with an array of equipments, which are easy to reach and operate.
Interior Comfort:
As for comfort features, this model series is equipped with several advanced comfort features unlike rest of the SUVs in this company's portfolio. It has a powerful 4-zone automatic air conditioning system with rear air vents, which takes care of cabin temperature in all weather conditions. It also has rain and light sensors, which automatically switches on the wipers and lights when necessary. This model is integrated with features like electrically operated windows, power adjustable windows, a multi-functional M Sport leather wrapped steering wheel, front center armrest with storage compartment and electric steering column adjustment. Furthermore, it also has power adjustable front seats including memory function, leather upholstery for seats, smokers package, inside and outside rear view mirrors with automatic anti-dazzling function, roller sun blinds for rear side windows 60:40 split foldable rear bench seat. Along with these, the manufacturer has also equipped it with an electric glass sunroof and parking distance control feature for front and rear.
Interior Measurements:
This second generation SUV offers more space to the occupants than its predecessor. Its front cabin has a headroom of 1013mm and a shoulder space of 1562mm.

Colombian Peso Gains as Fed Expands Bond Purchases; Bonds Gain
Colombia's peso advanced, nearing a two-month high, amid speculation the dollar may weaken after the U.S. Federal Reserve said it will buy $45 billion a month in Treasury securities to help boost economic growth.
The peso gained 0.3 percent to 1,794.82 per U.S. dollar, extending gains this year to 8 percent. It touched 1,793.6 on Dec. 10, the lowest intraday level since Oct. 8.
"More liquidity translates into increased appreciation pressures on the peso," said Daniel Lozano, head analyst at Serfinco brokerage in Bogota. "The trend is for the peso to continue to strengthen."
The Fed's buying plan will be in addition to $40 billion a month of mortgage-debt purchases. Asset buying will continue "if the outlook for the labor market does not improve substantially," the Federal Open Market Committee said today at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Washington.
The yield on Colombia's 10 percent debt due in July 2024 fell one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 6.01 percent, according to the country's central bank. The bond's price rose 0.054 centavo to 132.622 centavos.
