Japan Wins 1st (and Only) Place Fossil of the Day for Trying to Kill Kyoto Protocol

Canada receives the 3rd place Fossil for a spectacular, year-long effort to regain its title of 'colossal fossil' as the country making the least constructive contribution to the negotiations.
In January, Canada backed off of a weak target to adopt an even weaker one, as part of the government's plan to outsource climate policy to the United States. Canada's plan to meet that target is, to put it nicely, still being written. And the guy they've just put in charge as Environment Minister is John Baird; COP veterans might remember him as the solo holdout against science-based targets for developed countries at the end of Bali.
Canada also receives the 2nd place Fossil. We've already heard that Canada doesn't have a plan to cut emissions. What it does have is a plan to cut a lot of other things, such as:
With friends like that, who needs clean energy?
Finally, Canada wins the 1st place Fossil. Some might think the US Senate wasn't too helpful on climate change. But today's Fossil winner has a Senate that makes the US look good, and not just because these Senators aren't elected. In this country, Conservative Senators killed a progressive climate change bill without even bothering to debate it, something that hasn't happened for at least 70 years. This leaves their country without a science-based target or any domestic transparency program for the 2020 target the government has brought to these talks. Where can we find that fossil-worthy Senate? In a shocking twist, it's Canada again!
So Canada is starting off with a substantial lead, taking three prizes today. Killing progressive legislation, cancelling support for clean energy and failing to have any plan to meet its target all position Canada well for another two weeks of ignominy here in Cancun.
About CAN: The Climate Action Network is a worldwide network of roughly 500 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working to promote government and individual action to limit human-induced climate change to ecologically sustainable levels. www.climatenetwork.org <http://www.climatenetwork.org/>
About the fossils: The Fossil of the Day awards were first presented at the climate talks in 1999 in Bonn, initiated by the German NGO Forum. During United Nations climate change negotiations (www.unfccc.int <http://www.unfccc.int/> ), members of the Climate Action Network (CAN), vote for countries judged to have done their 'best' to block progress in the negotiations in the last days of talks.

COP 16 will be the seventh Conference of the Parties since the Kyoto Protocol entered into force in February 2005. That's a lot of talking. And the physical layout of these meetings means there is also a great deal of walking.
But, lack of progress in the negotiations shows that so far not enough governments are 'Walking the Talk'.
To highlight this disconnect, Greenpeace is hosting More Walk, Less Talk, a competition to find the person – and the country – that covers the most ground in Cancun. And there will be fabulous prizes!
As we all know, walking is very good for us – among its many benefits it is credited with improving circulation, bolstering the immune system, and helping keep us in shape.
It is also, of course, good for the climate.
So, the race to the future starts now. Grab your step-counter . . . reset . . . and go!
Get your pedometer from the Greenpeace booth or Greenpeace representatives around the Moon Palace. Register at morewalklesstalk.org. Winners will be announced on December 10th.
And by the way – did we mention the fabulous prizes?

In the lead-up to Copenhagen and since, climate finance ranked has ranked higher and higher on the list of make-or-break issues. It's both vitally important and politically challenging. As COP16 kicks off, however, there are worrying signs that negotiators may be taking their eye off the ball and sleepwalking toward a result that does little to resolve the inadequacies of existing institutional arrangements.
To be sure, there is good news also. Over the course of 2010, talks on a new global climate fund have been productive – and now there are proposals and options on the table to provide for its establishment here in Cancun, with details to be worked out in time for COP17. But the establishment of the Fund and related climate finance decisions are far from a done deal. Many of the emerging 'areas of convergence' on the table may not deliver the fair, legitimate and effective climate fund that's really needed.
For example, many Parties appear ready to accept equal representation between Annex I and non-Annex I on the Fund Board. Because there are roughly three times as many developing countries, this means that each developing country will have one-third the voice in the Fund's governance. This notion of 'equal representation' is a big step backward from the precedent established by the Adaptation Fund, which additionally has two seats from each of the UN regional groups plus one each for LDCs and SIDS. It's hard to see how, in the end, this would deliver arrangements that are any different from the GEF. Is this the "balanced' guarantee of interests needed for all UNFCCC members?
Secondly, none of the textual proposals tabled so far guarantee any balance between adaptation and mitigation funding – something most countries agree in principle even though it has not been delivered in practice to date.
Adaptation currently receives scarcely 10% of the overall climate finance portfolio. Unless Parties agree a dedicated adaptation window in the new Fund with at least 50% of the monies channelled to it, we can only assume the current trend will continue. Is this what Parties really mean by 'balance'?
Third, textual proposals for guidelines to ensure that the most vulnerable communities, especially women in rural areas, will ultimately benefit aren't difficult to improve – only because right now there aren't any such proposals. But this is easy to address with a few lines of text and it's hard to imagine any country opposing it. Who is against guarantees that gender equity will receive particular attention in adaptation support?
Finally, everyone knows building another near-empty fund is pointless. Several options to deliver predictable sources of innovative financing – such as a levy on international shipping and aviation as part of an emissions reduction scheme – were presented by the UN Secretary General's High-level Advisory Group on Climate Finance less than a month ago.
In fact, it's clear from the AGF Report that raising $100 billion or more in public finance is possible. But unless Parties work in concert to map out options for putting such proposals into practice, a decision to establish a new Fund could deliver an empty shell. Is this what Parties had in mind in Bali when they agreed to 'improve access to adequate, predictable and sustainable financial resources'?
The decisions taken here in Cancun may not result in the FAB deal that is increasingly overdue. But they will have profound, long-standing implications for the institutional architecture of the future international climate regime.
A fair climate fund is definitely within reach, and ECO calls on all Parties to stand up for it.

Cancun should deliver a substantial package of decisions that provides a clear framework for climate action. Such a package will move forward toward a legally binding agreement and put positive pressure on countries to go beyond their current quite inadequate pledges and commitments. The Cancun package must progress both the KP and LCA tracks and secure agreements on all building blocks, namely mitigation/MRV, finance, adaptation, REDD, technology, the legal form, the science review, and a road map for South Africa and beyond.
This means all countries must do their fair share to secure success in Cancun. And so ECO would like to take the liberty of identifying some opening moves that key countries should make so that Cancun starts on a constructive note, open negotiating space for the coming two weeks, and deliver outcomes that will set us on the pathway towards the ambitious, global treaty we need.
ECO supports the United States objective of increasing the transparency of mitigation actions by developing countries, but it must be part of a broader framework that includes greater transparency of developed country actions on both mitigation and finance. And so instead of pressurizing others, the US should announce its willingness to increase the transparency of its own actions. The draft decision text being circulated by the EU calling for more detailed information in Annex 1 national communications would be a very good way to start. Making it clear that supporting enhanced transparency for everybody includes the US itself will make adoption of a balanced package of decisions here in Cancun much more likely. Just say yes!
ECO expects the European Union to speak out much more clearly in favour of a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, so that a constructive dialogue between developed and developing countries leading to a legally binding agreement from both tracks can be achieved. To provide further support for the Kyoto Protocol the EU should also help close the loopholes in its own position on AAU surplus and LULUCF. Those helpful moves on the Kyoto track can be bolstered by the EU championing the establishment of the UNFCCC climate fund.
China should take a more progressive role in the international negotiations instead of just continually reacting to provocations from others. That way, China can building strongly on its domestic momentum for low carbon and clean energy development. For Cancun, this means China should now put forth its own views on the form international consultation and analysis should take, as well as challenge the US to clearly commit itself to proper MRV, along with other developed countries.
Japan must show more flexibility about the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. Upfront rejection will create an unconstructive atmosphere for the entire negotiations. Kyoto was the product of hard negotiations, not only for the specific targets, but also for a top-down approach so that aggregate emission reductions are driven by the science. ECO hopes that Japan still remembers the sleepless nights in Kyoto and knows that while the Protocol is not perfect, there is still a lot to be proud of. More openness on Kyoto will signal that it acknowledges that the Kyoto architecture is important to a vast majority of Parties and opens the way forward for securing a stronger global architecture.
India should help broker a solution to the dilemma of international consultation and analysis by tabling its own ICA proposal, unequivocally stating that it will work towards creating a rule-based system of multilateral governance within the UNFCCC and ensuring transparency and accountability. Another constructive move will be to support efforts to identify substantial and innovative sources of public finance for the new global climate fund.
Brazil could come forward as a champion for the creation of a fair climate fund in Cancun, supported through innovative sources of public funding, which fully funds not only mitigation but equally so adaptation. Brazil also should come forward as a leading country fighting for responsible and transparent LULUCF accounting rules to help reduce and close the Gigatonne Gap.
It's time for Mexico to play a more creative role in its welcome efforts toward trust-building in the COP 16 presidency. Mexico is well positioned to spur Parties to tackle the issues that could otherwise drive the negotiations into deadlock: legal form, the road map on crunch issues post-Cancun, the Gigatonne Gap, the science review and more.
Russia has an AAU surplus of 6 billion tonnes of CO2 that is creating grave uncertainty for the negotiations, carbon markets and the environmental integrity of the Kyoto Protocol. It's time for clear statements from Russia that it will not sell its AAU surplus from the 1st commitment period. That kind of good political will can go a long way to ensuring progress can be made in Cancun on dealing with AAU surplus, and give a big boost to closing the Gigatonne Gap.
ECO hopes this list of substantial but manageable first moves will help clarify the middle game on the Cancun chessboard and lead to a solution that makes everyone a winner.

A UN High-Level Advisory Group set up to analyse how to raise urgently needed climate finance announced details of its report today.
Tearfund's Director of Advocacy Paul Cook said: "The Climate Finance panel was set up to analyse how to raise the $100 billion a year by 2020 and the report shows that it is feasible to raise at least this amount by using public sources alone. However, what we have seen today doesn't go far enough and still amounts to leaving the most vulnerable people in countries like Bangladesh to clean up the mess rich countries have made."
The aid agency said climate change is the greatest development issue we face. What was needed was a report that demonstrated how we are going to raise at least $200bn a year by 2020 for developing countries to adapt to a changing climate and reduce their emissions.
This money must be new and additional to existing aid budgets. It must come from innovative sources of public finance, like a Robin Hood Tax on banks and from levies on fuel and tickets for international aviation and shipping. Instead the AGF has delivered the low-level $100bn.
Tearfund warned that while it is good that the group recognises that the money required is in the range of billions of dollars, $100bn is not and has never been enough.
"Developed countries must think in terms of an evolving understanding of the science and of developing countries needs, rather than what they can get away with.
"We are pleased that the report shows how a combination of innovative sources can be used to raise the money for the long term. Today's launch is not the end of these discussions on innovative sources of public finance - rather it must be the starting point. Getting an international agreement for climate money is a crucial step towards agreeing an international climate treaty." Cook continues.
Tearfund welcomed the UK's commitment to playing its part in the creation of new innovative sources and urged them to continue championing these to ensure progress is made within the UN climate talks.

BRISTOL — Bristol police had a busy December, responding to more than 75 complaints. Three of those reports involved alleged domestic violence.
VERGENNES — In their first case of 2015, Vergennes police issued a city resident five tickets, including one for refusing to take an evidentiary test for driving under the influence of alcohol, after stopping his vehicle 28 seconds after midnight on Jan. 1.
Vergennes police said they pulled over a vehicle driven by Thomas Hunt, 31, after it failed to stop at the intersection of School and South Maple streets. Police alleged that Hunt performed poorly in roadside sobriety tests before refusing further testing.
ADDISON COUNTY — The week spanning the last two days of December and the first five of January was a relatively quiet one for Vermont State Police with only a handful of serious incidents reported by troopers during that stretch.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police investigated a burglary at a South Street residence on Dec. 31. Police said someone allegedly broke into a locked safe sometime during the past seven years and stole "several thousand dollars" worth of items.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call Middlebury police at 388-3191.
In other action last week, Middlebury police:
• Responded to a noise complaint in the South Pleasant Street neighborhood on Dec. 29.
BRISTOL — Addison County State's Attorney David Fenster and Attorney General William H. Sorrell announced today that they have completed independent separate reviews of a police-shooting incident that occurred on Sept. 4, 2014, in Bristol.
The Addison Independent is proud to publish the Students of the Week from area High Schools each week. The students are chosen by teachers and administration from each school who would like to recognize their exceptional engagement in the high schools they attend.
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin will appoint Sarah Hofmann to serve as a member of the Public Service Board, replacing retiring board member John Burke.
Hofmann is a former deputy commissioner and public advocate at the Department of Public Service, and is currently the executive director of the New England Conference of Public Utilities Commissioners. She will begin to hear new matters at the Public Service Board starting in March 2015.

MIDDLEBURY — Carl Roesch and Caetlin Harwood had owned the diner in downtown Middlebury for just six weeks last spring when they were introduced to one of its biggest annual traditions: the early morning breakfast for graduating seniors at Middlebury College.
"We kept peeking out the door to see when they were coming," recalled Harwood, "and then — boom — they came in. It was like the whole school was walking up here."

Where I stayed
Today we woke up again to beautiful blue skies and headed off to the Sunday Market on the jetty. Bit of a strange market I have to say, but there were lots of cars, mainly the locals walking their dogs, cycling, surfing etc – well it was Sunday and such a beautiful day.
We then visited the small picturesque town of Sawtell and watched a surfers competition and then returned to Coffs Harbour and the marine park. We had a lovely time there, including kisses from a seal and dolphin – wow – that's one to remember!!
Later on we had a stroll along the jetty and an afternoon snooze on the beach, followed by a seafood salad overlooking the Ocean – what a perfect day!

Now that about three-quarters of S&P 500 companies have reported, Michael Kors (KORS), Priceline.com (PCLN) and Stratasys (SSYS) represent the few remaining chances to buy or sell an IBD 50 stock ahead of their quarterly results — if you can stomach the potential ups and downs that earnings season often brings.
Continental Resources (CLR), Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) and Sturm Ruger (RGR) are also scheduled to report in the coming week, rounding out a list of big names in their respective industries.
Michael Kors (No. 49 on the latest IBD 50 list) is expected to grow earnings per share 39% to 68 cents when it reports Nov. 5 before the market open.
That would be the lowest quarterly growth since the seller of luxury apparel and accessories went public in December 2011, during which time its shares have surged more than 275%. Analysts forecast sales will rise 36%, also its slowest gain since its IPO.
The former "Project Runway" judge's namesake company has taken the fashion world by storm. A recent Piper Jaffray survey of teens showed Michael Kors handbags were the second-most preferred by that age group — just behind old guard Coach (COH) — and rapidly taking market share.
Kors also will be joining the S&P 500 soon, once Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and NYSE Euronext (NYX) complete their merger, which was expected to close Nov. 4 but was delayed.
Wall Street analysts think Jazz Pharma (No. 7) will post a 29% jump in Q3 EPS to $1.67 a share, the Irish company's lowest quarterly growth rate in years. Sales are expected to rise 58%, lighter than the past six quarters.
Jazz's EPS Rating is a highest-possible 99, as is its Composite Rating, which combines five key fundamental gauges with stock-price performance. The stock has rallied 70% this year.
FBR Capital began covering the specialty drugmaker recently with an outperform rating.
Sturm Ruger (No. 19) also announces results Nov. 5 after hours. Analysts expect the gunmaker to report a 38% profit increase to $1.21 a share, which would be its lightest growth in eight quarters. Sales are seen growing 31%, also the slowest since Q2.
The Southport, Conn.-based company scores a 99 EPS Rating, the highest possible.
Shares fell 6% Oct. 24 after retailer Cabela's (CAB) cited a "significant deceleration" in firearms and ammunition sales as it missed its profit and sales targets. But Sturm Ruger has nearly recovered all those losses and is 4% off its 52-week high.
Energy company Continental Resources (No. 33) is on tap for Nov. 6 and has been riding the North American shale energy boom that drilling techniques like hydraulic fracturing have unlocked.
It is the largest landholder in the lucrative Bakken Shale, and analysts expect it to earn $1.48 a share, up 70% from a year earlier. Revenue is seen surging 53% to $970.67.
Consensus estimates call for a 5% EPS gain when Stratasys (No. 15) reports Thursday before the opening bell. That's a sharp slowdown for the 3D printer maker, after 14 quarters of 29% or better growth. Analysts expect sales to surge 136%, its highest level in years.
Stratasys boasts a 99 Composite Rating. Rival 3D Systems (DDD) last month reported better-than-expected Q3 earnings but cut its full-year forecast as it spends more to boost expansion.
Priceline.com (No. 12) rounds out the top five IBD 50 leaders reporting this week. The online travel booking site, which gives results Thursday after the close, is expected to grow Q3 profit 31% to $16.22, an acceleration from Q2's 24% gain.
Revenue growth is estimated to be 30%, which would be higher than the past six quarters. Priceline's share price has soared 69% this year. And its stock isn't the only highflier. It has a 99 for its EPS and Composite ratings.
Among other IBD 50 leaders also reporting this week, MercadoLibre (MELI) (No. 34) is on tap for after hours Nov. 5. Analysts expect a 24% earnings increase to 73 cents a share.

Hudson Valley Community College and CVS/Pharmacy today announced a unique training partnership at the site of a newly-constructed mock pharmacy inside the college\'s Albany Extension Center.
The mock pharmacy, located at 175 Central Avenue, will host non-credit training for pharmacy technicians. Classes are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Nov. 15. The 120-hour course will provide a foundation for those interested in becoming pharmacy technicians. The course also is designed to prepare students for the National Pharmacy Technician Examination.
\"This is another example of how Hudson Valley Community College can partner with a major regional business to create new job opportunities,\" President Andrew J. Matonak said. \"We are pleased to be working with CVS to bring this workforce training opportunity to the Capital Region.\"
Matonak was joined by CVS Pharmacy Regional Manager Ericka Kerr and Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings at the dedication of the new training facility.
Pharmacy technicians prepare and package medications and also carry out the important process of recording and billing prescriptions in retail and hospital pharmacies. The position also requires careful attention to detail and excellent customer communication skills. There is expected to be significant job opportunities in this field during the coming decades.
With credit-bearing allied health programs in nursing, dental hygiene, radiologic technology, respiratory care and paramedic education, Hudson Valley Community College provides the Capital Region with a strong health care work force. The new pharmacy technician training joins the college\'s other credit-free offerings that support the health care field. These include courses in medical transcription and billing and coding offered through the college\'s Workforce Development Institute.
Founded in 1953, Hudson Valley Community College offers more than 60 degree and certificate programs in four schools: Business; Engineering and Industrial Technologies; Health Science; and Liberal Arts and Sciences; and an Educational Opportunity Center for academic and career training. One of 30 community colleges in the State University of New York system, it has an enrollment of more than 12,000 students, and is known as a leader in distance learning initiatives and workforce training. Hudson Valley has more than 60,000 alumni.

Date of Stay: July, 2010
This was our second stay here (we previously stayed during the summer of 2007). The campground continues to be very well maintained and is one of our favorite places to camp (we have a pop-up camper). The swimming area and several of the sites appear to have been recently renovated. There appears to be an ongoing project to replace the aging wooden railroad tie retaining walls with stone retaining walls. It is quiet, clean, secure, has a view of the lake, is in walking distance of a convenience store and is close to area attractions. It was well worth the extra effort needed to haul my grey water to the dump station once a day (no sewer lines). Finally, you can't beat the price. Highly recommended.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is one of the best KOA campgrounds we have stayed in. Being just off of I-29, we used it to overnight on the way home from the Black Hills. However, it also being right on Blue Lake makes it a weekend destination in its own right. The Staff was very friendly and helpful. The restrooms and showers were immaculate. We had a nice pull-through lakefront site. We arrived just in time to see a great sunset over the lake. I highly recommend it.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is an excellent campground. It is a very large property with fabulous views which include Harney Peak. It also a nice large meadow in the middle that is well maintained which is great for frisbee, catch or stargazing at night. We camped with a large popup #150 in the Lower Ranch Area. It was a walk up a hill to get to Restrooms and Showers, but it mattered little for us since we have facilities in our popup. Regardless, they were immaculate. The Wi-Fi was slow, but typical in our experience for campgrounds not located near urban or suburban areas. The pancake breakfast was both cheap and delicious. I highly recommend the campground and we plan to make another trip out to it and the Black Hills in the future.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is a nice, safe and clean little city-run campground that has a great price. The campground Host was very friendly and helpful. There is some train noise, but it is not a problem if you are running an air conditioner fan. The small zoo next store is very nice as well. We stayed here in a popup camper while visiting Oregon Trail sites on the way to the Black Hills. I highly recommend it.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
This a well maintained campground with a friendly staff. It is located just off the interstate in the middle of a large cornfield, but being in full season the corn acted as a great muffler for the highway. Everything was immaculate and the pool was nice. The only downsides were that the hot water system could not keep up with he demand for showers and the wifi service was very weak. Otherwise, this is a great campground for an overnight stop on the way to another destination. I highly recommend it.

The crackdown has begun in earnest. Yesterday Tottenham
Hotspur became the first Premier League club to ban vuvuzelas, and this morning
Arsenal followed suit.
The Gunners made the announcement via an article on their
website cheerily entitled: 'Vuvuzelas not welcome
at Emirates Stadium!'
'This decision
has been taken to ensure the enjoyment and safety of supporters on matchdays,
which is of paramount importance to the club,' intoned a club statement.
They illustrated the edict with a picture of a South
African fan tooting away on the offending horn. No fun for you, Sir!
This despite the fact the man was clearly going
about his business safely and while enjoying himself immensely.
And he was doing it at the World Cup. The biggest
event in football. You may have heard there were one or two vuvuzelas there. They
didn't compromise safety one iota. Yet when brought to these shores the things
became a hazard of almost unimaginable proportions.
Either the reasons for banning vuvuzelas are
entirely disingenuous, or English football clubs have disappeared en masse up
their own backsides. It's a tos-up.
Tottenham cited discussions with the police and
fears the tannoy could be drowned out, but since when did announcements that
the owner of a V-reg Cavalier has left his lights on represent vital listening?
In any case, it's a sad state of affairs if you're
worried about the crowd being too loud. Why not ban cheering altogether?
It would certainly avert those occasional
catastrophes when the home team scores as the attendance is read out. Thirty-eight
thousand, two hundred and... we may never know. Tragic.
Preston North End recently outlawed them, with the
club's safety officer
David Asbridge arguing:
"At Preston North
End I have gone with
having no vuvuzelas in Deepdale on the grounds that it may cause problems with
fans objecting or experiencing hearing damage.
the vuvuzelas could distract the stewards from ensuring the health and safety
of the fans. The enormity of the sound created by the instruments could cause
problems when hearing for instructions or receiving radio messages."
So they are safe for Soccer
City but too dangerous
for Deepdale? Nonsense.
But the health and safety jobsworths are just the
hatchet men for a crackdown based entirely on money.
Vuvuzelas are a big turn-off for fans inside the stadium and, crucially, those watching on TV.
The BBC and ESPN both toyed with the idea of a
vuvuzela-free audio feed during the World Cup, which tells you just how much of
a turn-off the things are to viewers.
Football clubs think vuvuzelas could hurt their
television audiences and cost them money. That is the real reason.
I was happy to have the things blaring away during
the World Cup, but was petrified they would take over in Europe.
I'm pleased clubs are banning them, but wish they
would be honest about it.
They could take a leaf out of Dana White's book.
The president of UFC (a mixed martial arts series) had this to say on outlawing
the things:
"This decision was
pretty simple for me. Vuvuzelas make the most horrific sound I've ever heard.
I'd rather let Brock (Lesnar) punch me in the face than hear 15,000 people blow
on those things."
And that is the point. They are a pain. Simple as that. Why not just say so?
It would have been horribly imperialistic for
FIFA to storm into South
Africa and ban the locals from using their
preferred noisemakers, particularly when they obviously pose no safety risk
other than being a bit loud.
But taken away from their natural habitat they
just become irritating plastic tubes, a pest to rank alongside laser pens and
N-Dubz ringtones.
Ban them, and don't pussyfoot around. Don't
couch your interdiction in the language of health and safety. Just get rid of
the things.
Of course, you can bet your bottom dollar some
clubs will go the other way. How better to boost the noise level of a
half-empty stadium than with the inescapable din of a million dying bees?
My money is on Wigan or Bolton
to become the Premier League's first vuvuzela haven.

PBI Launches Print Buying Basics Webinar Series
CHESTNUT HILL, MA—April 19, 2010—Print Buyers International (PBI) is launching a series of Webinars this Spring to help teach those new to print buying, including graphic designers and marketing managers, how to work with the printing industry.
The three 30-minute webinars, each taking place on Wednesdays at 11 am EDT, will be led by PBI founder and print buying expert Margie Dana. The first Webinar takes place on May 12th.
Entitled "The BIG Picture!," this Webinar will provide perspective on the U.S. printing industry. Attendees will learn why all printing firms are not the same, as well as the five major ways in which they differ.
"New buyers and designers need to understand what's going on in the printing industry if their role includes sourcing print efficiently," Dana noted. "In this 3-part series, I'll cover a lot of ground about working with printers the right way. Anyone who's new at print sourcing—including creatives, business owners and marketing managers—will learn practical insights from these 30-minute Webinars."
Part 2 in this series, "The 5 Ways to Source Your Print Jobs," takes place on Wednesday, June 9th. In this segment, Margie Dana will describe the five distinct channels for getting jobs printed commercially, and how to evaluate each channel to help decide if it's the best fit for your firm.
The final Webinar in this series will run on Wednesday, June 30th. Entitled, "Best Resources Online and Off for New Buyers and Designers," it is designed to give attendees a wide range of resources for continual learning about printing and related graphic arts. Dana will share names of books, publications, industry experts, web sites, events—and even Twitter accounts that new buyers and designers should follow.
PBI plans on offering additional webinars on different topics in the second half of 2010.
How to Register
Registration for the first webinar on May 12th is now available online at http://bostonprintbuyers.com/webinar. The webinar costs $19.99, and attendance is limited. Members of Boston Print Buyers may register free of charge.
About Print Buyers International:

Date of Stay: April, 2007
Very nice park. We were located at the top pull through sites along the airport runway. Noise was never a concern - very few airplanes. Good level site w/ full hookups. It was a bargain for this particular area at $20. We had a heavy rain, but puddles and mud was not a problem. Nice, helpful employees in the office. Because of weather, we had to extend our stay several days and we were accommodated without problems. Location south of town makes it a very nice quiet area. We will plan to stay here every time we are in this area.
Date of Stay: May, 2006
This is a very quiet, relaxed, small RV park/campground. There are few amenities, but it was a great place to just hang out and relax. Lots of trees, but you could put up a satellite. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Small store with gas and propane available. We will certainly return here.

Teen murder mystery marks 24 years
NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY - It's been 24 years to the day Thursday since a teen was murdered near Cedar Grove Cemetery in New Bern. Detectives said 16-year-old Curry Spivey's death remains a mystery.
New Bern Police said the 16-year-old was coming back from a party when he got into an altercation near Howard Street.
Curry's twin sister, Kareem Spivey said she could sense something was happening to her brother that night.
"I felt everything. I felt when he got cut across his neck I felt when he got stabbed in his back I mean I felt all of that," Spivey said.
She said she could hear someone yelling from her window.
"I heard him. I mean like he was calling me. He was like, 'Kareem help, help, help'. Where we were living was directly across the street from the graveyard," Spivey said.
She said she thought she was crazy and went back to sleep.
The next morning she waited for him to pick her up on her first day of high school, but he never came. Police said he'd been murdered.
New Bern Detective Chip Dombrosky said Spivey was found dead early in the morning on September 4, 1990 at Cedar Grove Cemetery, right across from the New Bern Police Headquarters.
"There was a series of blood spatters and blood trails that were led from the Howard Street area across the graveyard to where he was located against the wall," Dombrosky said.
He said he has been involved in this case from the start.
"This particular case was extensively investigated at the time it occurred in 1990," Dombrosky said.
He said they've gone through the case many times and re-interviewed people over the years to find new leads.
"People may fear somebody 24 years ago that they don't fear now, friendships change, and you never know who that person is who is going to be able to provide that key information," Dombrosky said.
Spivey said after 24 years she feels better, but hopes the community will help her find answers.
"It has just been hell ever since because we have no clue," Spivey said.
Curry was her only sibling.
"That's a part of me that has been missing for a longtime. I am at peace but I need this to be closed for my mother's sake," Spivey said.
Spivey described her twin brother as a fun guy with a business-like mind.
Dombrosky said if you or anyone you know has any kind of information in this case to please contact New Bern police or Crime Stoppers. A reward of up to $6,000 is being offered for information in the case.

I'm seconding (thirding?) Willow Iverine. The soft and sweet "floaty-ness" of the W's are contrasted perfectly by the strong Iv- sound and the fact that it's a non-nature name and an honoring choice. I also personally prefer it as a one middle combo as I think it retains more of it's strength when nothing else is trying to compete for attention. Single-middle combos I also like are Willow Magdalene and Willow Dulcinea. =]

When it was announced that Fuel, Asobo Studios' apocalyptic open-world racer, boasted a daunting 5,560 square miles of terrain (14,400 km²), I immediately made a mental note to go mental, and drive around the entire world. Last week, having received some PC preview code from publisher Codemasters, I did precisely that.

Racy, Free-Roaming FUEL Action
Okay, I promise I won't post any more FUEL trailers until at least next week. Maybe the week after. But the first of these two game-footage spools really does give an impression of how free and open that game world is, although it's a bit of a shame that whoever is driving keeps bouncing off the scenery. But, you know, this is one of those games where it's probably not going matter to how good the race action is, because I'll be off trying to leap over some crevasse I found. Anyway, go see… (And if you need a reminder as to why we're interested in this, check out our interview.)

The Red Arrows: FUEL GPS Trailer
Codemasters have released another brief (and actually a little strange) clip for the open-world racer, FUEL, this time showing off the race interface. They've also dated it: May 29th across the world. We're expecting to have some time with FUEL before its release, so we'll hopefully be able to let you know a bit more about what to expect closer to release.

FUEL: The Seventy Vehicles
Open world racing game FUEL has us moderately excited. Not full-blown hype-arousal, but a mild kind of: "Hey look at that". To find out why this is you should probably read our interview with Codemaster's producer chap. If you've already been there and done that, you should click to the video below and raise a sceptical eyebrow at the claim of seventy vehicles being displayed therein.

Great Gusto: FUEL's Weather Business
Our recent interview with Codemasters about their new racing game FUEL suggested that changing weather would be more than just a visual extra, it should also affect the racing. Of course the trailer (anterior to click) totally fails to convey that: it just looks pretty. Although I bet driving into that tornado probably isn't going to help you win the race. Unless the finishing line is in Oz.
FUEL is, miraculously, still on course for a May release.

Interview: Codies on FUEL
FUEL, the quasi-apocalyptic open world racer due later this year, is a labour of love for French developers Asobo. They've have been working on it for several years, while developing a series of other, lesser games. Helping them realise this vision is the racing game team at Codemasters, who already have DIRT and GRID, under their belts. We talked to racing game chap and Executive Producer David Brickley about garage helicopters, exploration-based racing, and the latest four-letter acronym.
RPS: There are open world racing games, and there's… this. 5000km2? How the hell did you make so much terrain?

FUEL: Landmarks, User Content Hints
More Codemasters material from their recent US press day: a second FUEL trailer. This one is significantly less impressive than the last one, although it shows a bit more detail of the racetrack areas within the 5000km2 terrain of the game world. it's really hard to guess the quality of the game at this stage, and I'm somewhat sceptical. Nevertheless, the idea of a post-apocalyptic North America to race around in appeals to be on some very basic level, and the game is going to have to be deeply crap to put me off playing it. Eurogamer have a brief overview of the game here, and report that "players will also be able to create their own races on any part of the map, and share them online." It sounds like the core races are going to be playable a standard event-by-event race too, if you want to skip the open worldiness of it.

Should state seek a ban on single-use plastic bags?
Freedom of choice
I'm really sick of so many things getting banned. It's becoming ridiculous. Government seems to becoming more and more like a dictatorship. I really don't understand the issue with plastic grocery bags. There are many other "single" use plastic bags (e.g. Ziploc bags, trash bags, etc.). Do we ban all of those? And, why should retailers be required to charge 10 cents for paper bags? It was bad enough that California decided to ban trans fats. Where's freedom of choice and personal responsibility?
- Sharon Goodberry, Palos Verdes
Reusing single-use bags
I use the plastic bags I carry groceries home in to hold the "wet" garbage I take out to the black bins for weekly pickup by the garbage trucks. I also reuse some bags to carry groups of items from home to vehicle, from fruit tree to home, etc. I am sure others reuse the "single use" bags in similar manners. So, what are we to use for our garbage take-out bags when the grocery store no longer is allowed to provide them? Paper bags will not hold "wet" garbage long enough to get from the house to the black bin.
- William J. Stewart, Sun Valley
Controlling our lives
This whole fad of banning plastic bags has got to be one of the most hypocritical on the planet. If you want to ban plastic bags, why not ban garbage bags, shrink-wrapped items, plastic salad dressing bottles, Tupperware items, kids' toys, CD jewel cases and plastic rulers? I get bottled water every month that comes in huge plastic containers. Should they go back to using glass containers now? Is this ban hurting the grocery stores in Long Beach? I reluctantly would like to know that it is, but only because then the stores will send a message to the Long Beach City Council to get them to stop this practice. Most importantly, I would like to think that the citizens of Long Beach are intelligent enough to realize that little things like this are just another way to regulate their lives. Don't misunderstand me; if you want to use a cloth bag, by all means, do so. But a city must not command legislation to force people to do so.
- Dave Champagne, Belmont Shore
A hemp alternative
There is a third alternative to the plastic bag crisis that could be win-win for all. Make plastic bags from hemp, since the intelligent use of cannabis is being accepted in many new aspects across this great land. Industrial hemp makes a better plastic than petroleum because it is biodegradable, and instead of chocking sea life with trashy petroleum bags we could be feeding them with healthy biodegradable hemp bags. And you could also be fertilizing plant life with the hemp as well.
- William Perron, El Monte
Environmental extremists
A potential statewide plastic bag ban is yet another of the endless assaults on people's desires for improved quality of life through technology. For decades now, almost every product mankind has developed to be more efficient and effective in our daily lives - soap, paint, gasoline, deodorant, plastic bags, you name it - has been eliminated or modified based on the eternal whining of environmentalists. Huge setbacks in the conveniences of life and vastly increased costs (gas prices!) to industry and, in turn, citizens, have resulted. For what? So environmental extremists can sleep better at night thinking their minuscule and inconsequential impact on the Earth was worth the cost and inconvenience to the rest of us?
John Biel, Lakewood
Bags in strange places
I hope to see the demise of single-use plastic bags in short order. I have to constantly pick these elusive items from my cactuses and trees year-round as the wind blows incessantly and puts the bags in strange places. Near our church, the neighbors rarely put the lids down on their trash bins and I have to go along our fence line picking up their trash that ends up alongside that fence. Much of that trash is plastic bags. Using reusable bags at the grocery and other stores is easy and allows me to carry a lot more with comfort.

|Jaguars draft Luke Joeckel second overall
|04.25.13 at 8:28 pm ET
The Jaguars scooped up the man many believed would go first overall in the pre-draft process, drafting Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel after Central Michigan's Eric Fisher went first overall to Kansas City.
Joeckel is the second offensive tackle the Jaguars have taken in the top 10 in the last four years, as they drafted Virginia's Eugene Monroe eighth overall in 2009. Monroe was the team's starting left tackle last season, but he can be moved to right tackle while Joeckel man's Blaine Gabbert's blindside.
|Chiefs choose Eric Fisher first overall
|at 8:19 pm ET
The Chiefs chose Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher with the first overall pick of the NFL Draft Thursday night, confirming week-long speculation that they would take Fisher over Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel.
Joeckel was long believed to be the first player chosen, but he and Fisher, who stands at 6-foot-7 2/8 to Joeckel's 6-foot-6, were neck and neck throughout the pre-draft process.
The selection of Fisher gives the Chiefs a left tackle of the future, as the team franchised current starter Branden Albert this offseason. Albert could potentially be moved to the right side, or they could trade him, with the latter appearing to be the more likely scenario.
|Final Mock Draft: Eric Fisher leapfrogs Luke Joeckel
|at 8:07 am ET
Draft day finally is upon us. Though I still long for the olden days of all-day Saturday, all-day Sunday action, it's still the best time of the year — even if we have to wait until prime time.
Before we get to the good stuff, I just want to point out that this is my eighth year of doing mock drafts, and it has by far been the most challenging year, for quite a few reasons.
First of all, it's just a weak class. There are four great offensive linemen in tackles Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher, and guards Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper. After that, there are some good pass-rushers and two or three plus corners, but the star power in this class is highly lacking. For that reason, when mocking these picks, I found myself frequently coming to spots where the team would want to trade down, but who would want to trade up?
The uncertainty at the quarterback position also makes things tough to predict. There are teams that need quarterbacks, but do they like Geno Smith and Ryan Nassib enough to spend first-rounders on them? The aforementioned lack of star power in this draft applies to signal-callers especially. The guess here is that Smith goes somewhere in the top six picks — to either the Eagles, Browns or a team that trades up — and the Bills make their pick at No. 8 and later move back into the first round to grab Nassib.
Typically, good mock drafts get six picks right, while great ones get 8-10 picks right. The bar should be lowered for this one.
1. Chiefs (2-14) — Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Deciding between Joeckel and Fisher might be a closer call than many think.
2. Jaguars (2-14) — Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon
Jordan will help a defense that finished last in the league with 20 sacks last season.
3. Raiders (4-12) — Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
The safest pick they could make, but remember, Robert Gallery once was considered safe.
4. Eagles (4-12) — Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Joeckel still is arguably the best player in the draft. This would be quite the steal.
5. Lions (4-12) — Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
A true No. 1 corner to team with the re-signed Chris Houston.
|NFL Mock Draft, Take 3: Free agency forces alterations
|03.22.13 at 7:12 am ET
Now that free agency is well under way and some big trades and signings have taken place, team needs have been altered quite a bit.
That makes it the perfect time to drop a new mock draft, with revised team needs and continued stock fluctuation among prospects making for a different first-round look than the one that existed a matter of days ago. Without further ado, here's our latest look at the first round:
1. Chiefs (2-14) — Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Yes, the Chiefs franchised one of their tackles in Branden Albert, but they also released Eric Winston. That makes the selection of Joeckel more feasible, as they can play Albert on the right side and let Joeckel protect Alex Smith's blindside.
2. Jaguars (2-14) — Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon
The Jaguars didn't make much noise early on in free agency, so their needs remain largely the same at this point: quarterback, front seven, defensive back, offensive line '¦ pretty much everywhere. They finished last in the league with 20 sacks last season, and Jordan would step in and address that better than free agent signee Geno Hayes.
3. Raiders (4-12) — Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
The Raiders have added Vance Walker, Pat Sims and Jason Hunter to their defensive line via free agency. To save you some Wikipedia work, none of the three are star players, so while depth has been added to a very poor defensive line, the problem is by no means solved. If the Raiders elect to spend the third pick on a defensive tackle, the decision should be a little bit tougher now that Star Lotulelei has been medically cleared and turned in a strong performance at his pro day.
4. Eagles (4-12) — Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Talk about a secondary in flux. The Philadelphia secondary was supposed to be strong after the Eagles signed Nnamdi Asomugha two years ago, but they've already pulled the plug on that experiment by releasing Asomugha and letting Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie walk as a free agent (Rodgers-Cromartie took a one-year deal with the Broncos). They've upgraded the safety position with the signings of Kenny Phillips and Patrick Chung, but cornerback still is a big area of concern despite the signings of Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher.
5. Lions (4-12) — Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
This would pretty much be the ideal scenario for the Lions. With Jeff Backus retired and Gosder Cherilus having signed with the Colts, the Lions need major help at tackle. Fisher could step in and replace Backus at left tackle and provide the Lions with strong value at this pick. Mike Mayock feels the gap between Joeckel and Fisher is very small, so this would mean landing potential first-overall talent with the fifth pick.
|Post-combine Mock Draft: Offensive linemen dominate top 10
|02.28.13 at 9:20 am ET
With the annual scouting combine in the books for 2013, it's time to take another look at the overall landscape of the first round.
The overall takeaway from Indianapolis is that this is a draft that's all about offensive linemen, boasting depth at tackle and featuring two blue-chip guard prospects. None of the tackles may be Joe Thomas, but there are enough of them that any team in need of someone to protect its quarterback's blind side should have options.
One team need changed at the top, as the Chiefs don't even have to think about reaching for Geno Smith after trading for Alex Smith.
1. Chiefs (2-14) — Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
I don't project trading of picks in mock drafts, but I've never wanted to more in my life. Now that the Chiefs have addressed the quarterback position with their second-round pick, they should re-sign Branden Albert, trade down and fill another need. Left tackle isn't a big need, and letting Albert walk just so they can draft another good left tackle to replace him wouldn't provide them with much organizational progress.
2. Jaguars (2-14) — Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
A lot of folks think that Dee Milliner could be the pick here. Yes, he ran well at the combine, but Milliner as a top-five pick, let along a top-two pick, is a bit of a stretch. The Jaguars need sacks almost as much as they need a quarterback, so Jones is the better fit.
3. Raiders (4-12) — Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
This might be a tad high for Floyd, but he helped his stock immensely at the combine and could now be the first defensive lineman selected in what is a very deep class at the position. Both Richard Seymour and Desmond Bryant are free agents, the latter of whom was arrested over the weekend.
4. Eagles (4-12) — Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Mike Mayock says that Fisher has closed the gap between he and Joeckel considerably, so there's a chance that the Central Michigan product won't even be on the board by the time this selection is made. If teams trade up with teams not from Kansas City, he would likely be their target.
5. Lions (4-12) — Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Lions would have a really tough decision to make if this scenario were to arise: Do they add a potential star corner and address what is seemingly always an area of need, or do they grab a defensive end to replace the aging Kyle Vanden Bosch? Both Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril are free agents. Read the rest of this entry »
|Luke Joeckel hasn't met with Chiefs, off to good start at combine
|02.21.13 at 3:59 pm ET
INDIANAPOLIS — It's always interesting to see players' characters when dealing with them at the scouting combine, but ultimately, work ethic and talent matter far more than whether a guy's a polished speaker.
Yet when it comes to top prospects — like the guy who might get drafted first overall — they do need to present themselves well. Give Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel a check in that column, as the star left tackle had a very good showing with the media Thursday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"Offensive line is what I was born to play," he said when asked about being a candidate for the top pick despite playing a less glamourous position. "I love the position. I love the physical aspect of it. You finish every single play with a one-on-one block. There's not many other positions on the field like that. I love that part of it. I'm a background guy and that's why I belong on the offensive line."
Joeckel said he has not met with the Chiefs, who hold the first pick (so far, he's met with only the Titans and the 49ers), but that he would love to play in Kansas City, noting that he's been there once and loved the barbecue. As for being the first overall pick, Joeckel said it's something he wouldn't take for granted.
"It would be a really cool," he said. "It would be a dream come true. I want to get there, I'm definitely striving to be the No. 1 pick, going through this entire process and playing the season and all that kind of stuff, but my dream was just to play in the NFL. Being the No. 1 pick, after that it doesn't really matter. You've got to and prove yourself in the NFL."
Joeckel also shared a pretty interesting anecdote with reporters. A quarterback in junior high, Joeckel made the move to offensive line in high school, where his twin brother, Matt, was the quarterback. He said the two had a very competitive relationship — with occasional fisticuffs and more than occasional arguments.
"My junior year, I pancaked a guy and Matt was bouncing out of the pocket and I pancaked the guy right into Matt's legs," Joeckel said. "I get up, and instead up him yelling at me, I started yelling at him, like, 'You gave me a sack. You've got to be a better athlete than that.' He never chewed me out for giving up sacks. I chewed him out for me giving up a sack. That's kind of our relationship."
Joeckel still has to work out and prove his worth to the Chiefs and other teams at the top of the draft, but consider him off to a good start with his showing Thursday. He didn't seem nervous and didn't come off as overly cocky. Plenty depends on whether or not the Chiefs bring back starting left tackle Branden Albert, but if you're a struggling team that's about to invest a lot of money in a player in the hopes of selling a new direction to fans, Jeockel did nothing to hurt his case.
|Ready to kick things off at the Combine
|at 9:59 am ET
INDIANAPOLIS — Hello from Lucas Oil Stadium, where the annual scouting combine is underway.
On Thursday, offensive linemen, tight ends and special teamers will meet with the media. NFL coaches and executives will also address the media over the four days, with Ryan Grigson, Chip Kelly and Rex Ryan among those set to speak Thursday.
As far as players go, Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel figures to be the biggest name in focus Thursday. The 6-foot-6, 310-pound lineman figures to be in the mix to go first overall in April's draft, though a lot of that will depend on whether the Chiefs bring back starting left tackle Branden Albert.
The workout schedule is as follows:
Saturday: Tight ends, offensive linemen, special teams
Sunday: Quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers
Monday: Defensive linemen, linebackers
Tuesday: Defensive backs
Check back for updates from Christopher Price and yours truly through Sunday.

Hello Php Programmers,
I'm looking for someone that can help me with a little 4 page website.
The website has been setup to allow me to create/edit/delete pages as needed from the admin panel.
Something is wrong with it and it's not adding/deleting pages as it should. So that needs to be fixed.
I also would like to add a better 'Contact Us' form to the 'Contact Us' page.
I want to add in a map as well.
Lastly, I would like to make a couple of small updates to the layout of the site to make it look better.
So, this will be a little bit of php, html, & design work.
I am looking to pay someone hourly to work on this.
Shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours or so but I'll pay as needed.
I want to start right now and we'll work on it together over skype.

The "H" family is back! I know you all recognize this family. This we met up for a studio session with some cute ideas! A little snow-white, a little fairy princess, a little mommy and me cooking. It all adds up to some REALLY cute photos.
I had some problems with some extreme static! My lights were popping when someone would touch me, or move my drops. Some other photographers suggested using dryer sheets to cut down on that problem. Here are a few of my favorites.
