Creativity: Where Does It Come From & 7 Ways to Get More Of It
Whatever the medium, it's blank as blank can be. You're idea-less. For a graphic designer, finding yourself creatively challenged is akin to stepping into the void, lost and floating aimlessly in a dark netherworld. You need a spark. A jumpstart. Something. Anything. But first, where the heck does creativity come from? Is it inherent – a talent and ability within a person from birth? Or is it a learned ability?

Mr. Know-It-All
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mr. Know-It-All was a popular supporting segment of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. There were fifty segments produced. The segments featured Bullwinkle J. Moose, in his typical know-it-all fashion, pompously giving advice and instruction on any and every given topic, such as how to catch a bee or how to sneak into the movie theater without a ticket. Of course, true to Bullwinkle's nature, something would always go humorously and disastrously wrong by the end. Boris Badenov plays a variety of roles as Bullwinkle's antagonist in most of the segments.[1]

Accredited online high school available to local students
August 11, 2012
"The advantage (of GOAL Academy) is that they can choose their own hours, because many students have jobs, some are mommies or daddies. They don't have to be checked into a place every day. They can do their work on their timeframe but yet still receive an accredited Colorado Department of Education diploma."
— Annette McCurdy, GOAL Academy's academic coach in Craig, about the advantages of the online school over a traditional high school
Annette McCurdy thinks high school is about more than just grades.
"It's all about getting ready for life," the Craig resident said about the importance of the skills and knowledge acquired during those formative years. "Graduating high school is the first step in getting ready for life."
Starting this month, Northwest Colorado students between the ages of 14 and 21 will have a new way to achieve that first step when GOAL Academy begins offering classes locally.
GOAL Academy — which stands for Guided Online Academic Learning — is an online public high school operating in Colorado for the past five years. According to its website, http://www.goalac.org, GOAL students "can obtain a quality education and a high school diploma," while using "state-of-the-art technology to deliver an engaging curriculum."
GOAL is accredited by the Colorado Charter School Institute, which according to CSI means that it both falls under the purview of the Colorado Department of Education and offers an accredited diploma to its graduates.
"One-hundred percent of the GOAL Academy students will graduate with an accredited Colorado Department of Education diploma/completion certificate," McCurdy said, adding that the school is completely publicly funded.
In addition to providing classes, GOAL provides laptop computers to enrolled students as well as offering drop-in centers and academic coaches at various locations across the state to help support students enrolled in classes.
Although local students have had remote access to GOAL in previous academic years, Aug. 20 marks the start of the first session in which a local academic coach — McCurdy — will be available to area students.
McCurdy, who has a background in math, graduated from Regis University in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts. Before being contacted by GOAL Academy to be an academic coach, she worked for Moffat County School District as a paraprofessional as well as a teacher at the alternative school.
While she is looking forward to her job, McCurdy said the presence of academic coaches is just one way GOAL Academy supports its students.
"I am going to be the local academic coach if (students) need help, however for every core class that they have, there are specialists in those subject areas to help," she said.
Flexibility in scheduling is another advantage of GOAL Academy, according to the school's website.
"Our block scheduling allows students to move forward in the curriculum with support from their academic coaches at a pace that keeps them on track to graduate," the website stated.
McCurdy echoed that sentiment, saying the flexibility provided by GOAL Academy makes it easier for non-traditional students, like those with children or who have to work full time in addition to school, to earn a diploma.
"The advantage is that they can choose their own hours, because many students have jobs, some are mommies or daddies," she said. "They don't have to be checked into a place every day. They can do their work on their timeframe but yet still receive an accredited Colorado Department of Education diploma."
There are certain requirements GOAL students must fulfill, McCurdy said. It is mandatory for students to complete at least three classes in each nine-week session, which requires a dedication to daily work. Students also must complete 22 credits to graduate, the same as in a traditional high school in Colorado, including four credits in English, three in math, two in science, two in social studies, 1/2 in health and 1/2 in physical education.
However McCurdy said another advantage of GOAL Academy is that students are allowed to tailor their education to whatever their plans are after graduation.
"They're all going to have individual schedules," she said. "It's determined by what they need."
Though McCurdy expected a small response for her first year as academic coach for the Craig/Meeker/Steamboat Springs area, she was surprised when 35 students enrolled.
"It real took off quickly," she said, adding that when enrollment hits 50 an official drop-in center can be established in Craig.
Orientation for those new students takes place Thursday with the session kicking off Aug. 20.
McCurdy and other GOAL Academy officials will be available to answer questions from community members from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 18 at the Boys & Girls Club of Craig, 1324 E. U.S. Highway 40.
McCurdy said she is looking forward to spreading the word about GOAL Academy and all it has to offer.
"The curriculum is challenging yet flexible," McCurdy said. "(GOAL Academy) has a caring staff that ensures the success of the students."
For more information about GOAL Academy and its presence in Northwest Colorado, call McCurdy at 208-6329.

Should companies face the courts?
By BBC News Online's Orla Ryan
As Railtrack is called to account for the actions that led to the Paddington crash, the issue of corporate manslaughter is once more expected to dominate the headlines.
More and more companies are having to account for their role in fatal accidents in the courts.
A French importer for Swedish carmaker Volvo has been placed under formal investigation for manslaughter.
In the UK, the issue has never been far from the headlines, with rail crashes at Selby, Hatfield and Paddington keeping the debate alive in comment and opinion pages, and new tougher laws are expected.
However in the United States a backlash has already begun, as President Bush agrees with big business that the power of individuals to bring litigation against companies should be curtailed.
Tougher laws?
The proposed changes have their critics - but until they become law, people will continue to struggle to get convictions under the current system.
The difficulty in securing a conviction has not deterred the families of victims from pursuing their case.
Earlier this month, a trial date of 5 November was set for the case of Simon Jones.
He was killed as he helped to unload a ship loaded with cobbles at Shoreham Docks, near Brighton, in April 1998.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) originally decided not to take his employer, Dutch-owned Euromin, to court.
But his family won a High Court battle to bring manslaughter charges.
Escaping conviction
The prosecutors in this case will be very much aware of the fact that in the UK only two workplace deaths have resulted in a conviction for corporate manslaughter.
Some companies have famously escaped conviction.
Prosecutors have failed to secure convictions in high-profile cases such as the Zeebrugge ferry disaster, the fire at Kings Cross tube station and the Paddington rail crash.
These kind of judicial decisions are likely to influence the CPS when it comes to deciding whether or not to take action in such cases.
So, why is it so difficult to make a charge of corporate manslaughter stick in the UK?
"Controlling mind"
Under current law, a company can only be convicted of corporate manslaughter if someone, identified as the "controlling mind" of the company, can be shown to be guilty of manslaughter.
The company can escape liability if a more junior member of staff is responsible for safety - as they are clearly not a "controlling mind".
This is one of the reasons why the more successful cases have been brought against smaller companies.
"The larger the company and the more distant the director is from the incident in question, it is easier for him to say he didn't know anything about it," a spokesman for the Centre for Corporate Accountability said.
On top of that, when someone has a fatal accident at work, the police are often not immediately involved.
He added: "Police have only just recently started to investigate work-related deaths. It is very much dependent on a particular force as to whether or not the enquiry takes place. It is very sporadic. It is beginning to improve, so there has been no concerted attempt to train police."
New proposals
It should, in theory, be easier to secure a conviction under the proposed changes.
A new offence of corporate killing is intended to make companies accountable in criminal law where they fall far below what can be expected in the circumstances.
But campaigners argue loopholes will still exist.
Holding companies may create subsidiaries, which would carry out the company's riskier business.
"In our view, there needed to be legal duties imposed on company directors in relation to safety," the Centre for Corporate Accountability spokesman said.
But, as some companies are already aware, this could make recruitment virtually impossible.
"If basically you are naming a director who will carry the can come what may, you are going to have difficulty finding individuals who are happy to take on that responsibility," Michael Roberts, the CBI's director of business environment. said.
The CBI's main criticism of the proposal is that it is unclear what management have to do to avoid prosecution.
"If it is not clear there is a risk, that an accident could have happened, it is unfair to say that that is a legitimate reason that a prosecution could be agreed," he added.

An empirical examination of income smoothing intentions in extractive industry firms
Item TypeArticle
MetadataShow full item record
International standard setters appear to base their arguments for and against the full cost and successful efforts methods of accounting for exploration and evaluation costs on the income smoothing characteristics of these methods (IASC, 2000). In addition, respondents will react in significantly different ways to the standard setters' suggested treatment of items of expenditure based on the potential that treatment has for income management under the income smoothing hypothesis. Previous studies also hypothesise that certain firm characteristics are consistent with the existence of specific contexts likely to induce management intent to smooth income. This paper explores some of these characteristics for firms responding to an extractive industries issues paper and examines whether these features predicated their comments or lobbying direction. It discovers significant relationships between a measure for lobbying intensity and the existence of both high debt-equity ratios and ownership change activities. The results may be indicative of intent to smooth income or prevent forfeiture of income management strategies and should be of interest to the International Accounting Standards Board, the international oil industry and academics and users of oil and gas companies' accounts.

Brakes squeaking new pads?

If your pads are OK fix the squeal. Brakes squeal because the pads vibrate against caliper not the rotor thus the reason you put brake squeal eliminator which is usually a red plastic bottle maybe 6
that acts like silicon. Put that on the pad where it contacts the caliper. This is true for new pads too. Also if the edges are not chamfered that will add to the squeal. Most pads these days are beveled to have a chamfer.
Be sure to have your rotors mic'ed. BMW rotors are sacrificial and that is why they brake so well.
Visit our forum vendors down in the classified section and get quality pads and rotors if required. I tend to use Zimmerman and Brembo because those are both OEM for BMW. Pads are up to you but BMW pads 2009 and later are low dust. New pads should be low dust too. You can use alternate pads but I would recommend a good ceramic pad to reduce dusting and still have a good performancing pad.
You have been given good advice but if you have any question feel free to ask.
If you have basic DIY skills replacing the brake pads and rotors yourself is not a had job at all. BMW has some of the easiest brakes to change out there...

Hugh Hefner to Holly Madison: Move Back In!
It was a bit of a shocker when Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison split up last October after seven years of dating. And now the Playboy mogul says he wishes Miss Madison would move back into the Playboy Mansion.
According to FOX Pop Tarts, Hef isn't sold on his relationship with current flame Crystal Harris. "How serious, and intimate, and important that works out to be, well we'll have to wait and see because it's only a couple months old."
And while the offer is clearly on the table, it seems as though Holly would be a bit reticent to accept. She told FOX, "I loved my time at the mansion and think the world of Hef. There comes a time in everyone's life where they need to go their own way."
Hugh also confessed that as he grows older he's increasingly interested in learning more about Christianity. "[I'd] like to find out what [Jesus Christ] was all about. Separate the reality from mythology. Find out the roots of what has become a major religion of my time. I was raised in a good Methodist home and I had questions about organized religion, and I would love to have the answers."

Dark Skies Residency
Robbie Coleman and Jo Hodges were appointed Artists in Residence for the Galloway Forest Dark Skies Park and The Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere in 2012.
A series of experimental works were presented between 28th September and 7th October 2012 alongside other Dark Sky events being run as part of the Wigtown Book Festival. See archive page. They presented additional new work at the Biosphere Day at the Catstrand, New Galloway on 15th Nov 2012.
They collaborated with music producer Frenchbloke on a 24 hour radio broadcast of previously unheard sound, broadcast during August 2012 and developed the concept to present The Dark Outside FM 2013 as part of the Environmental Arts Festival Scotland. In 2014 The Dark Outside FM became a core feature of a larger event, Sanctuary which explored unseen and in-between spaces. Sanctuary 2014 Images In 2015 the event expanded to include artists commisisons and an extended range of events, talks and explorations of landscape, place and technology. See www.sanctuarylab.org
The Dark Skies Park Residency was originally developed by Wide Open with funding secured from Creative Scotland.
The Dark
Humans are not by nature nocturnal – throughout our history the dark has contained threats, real and imagined and as the planet turns and the year creeps forward, night gains in power as daylight shortens and becomes weaker. Time to work, plant and hunt is curtailed, temperature drops, and shelter becomes more important.
These issues remain, even though we have created a bright new world, where night is kept at bay with 24-hour electric light. Our deepest instincts are still touched and our subconscious bookended by a fear of the dark and a feeling of ease and security in the light or at the hearth fire. Many of the stories we still tell ourselves use the darkness as a symbol of unknown threat or place of danger, and the daylight as a place of safety, hope and deliverance. Our deepest sense of ourselves, our sense of hope and future, seem bordered by Night and its meanings.
Despite the dangers of the dark, night time itself is necessary for our rest, regeneration and dreaming and we have always found ways to connect with the night sky. It is our one glimpse of the rest of the Universe. Stars were the means by which we orientated and navigated and historically many cultures based their mythologies upon the night sky and the night .
Contemporary society sees millions of people living in cities with a manufactured environment, 24 hour lighting and a correspondingly manufactured sense of time. In this context, most of the connection to the night, our natural heritage and the cosmos is lost. With the introduction of maps and then GPS, we look down, not up to find our way, and in doing so we ask ; have we lost the sense of ourselves within the universe?

I think they're stupid for this action, but I don't really care what they do......I've never bought a firearm from them and now never will. Fuck 'em.
Recently, Wal-Mart joined New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a gathering of Bloomberg?s anti-gun group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, to announce a series of changes to the way in which Wal-Mart handles firearm transactions. At the press event, J.P. Suarez, chief compliance officer for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., said: ?The costs are, we think, part of what it takes to be responsible.? Suarez also added, "This is not a signal that we're getting out of firearms."
I think they're stupid for this action, but I don't really care what they do......I've never bought a firearm from them and now never will. Fuck 'em.
....and yes, Fuck 'em is a technical term
Did I do that?
More corporate tyranny. I won't be buying anything from wal-mart any time soon.
What happens if the dumb ass breaks into Walmart and steals a gun then goes out and commits another crime with it? Can Walmart now pass their own test on their no sell policy?
Getting your gun stolen is a crime and according to BATF rules it is to be reported to them as well as the police. If my stolen gun is then used in another crime, I lost responsibility by reporting it stolen in the first place. I guess that if your car is stolen and then is involved in a wreck that kills someone then I am at fault, not the criminal.
If you want more gun control, use both hands.
WTF It has to be registured in the first place, what will walmart be doing to help any one by recording the sale on video. What right does a 18 rear old pimpled face punk likely not even a legal alien have to decide if I can purchase a fire arm???IF I were to have a gun stolen what gives walmart the right to Judge if I have the right to buy another gun there? Are they!@# physic or something?? as far as them not getting out of the gun bussiness !@# BS 90 percent of the stores in my are have stoped selling guns and the new super walmart dont have them. the last time I got a hunting liscense there the KID who did it screwd it up 3 time I finally got pissed and left. for this Ahole to have any say in my right to own a firearm is a god damm joke. This is another case (like EBAY) of shoveing there own political belieafs down the throats of the amercan consummer. They think somehow having the transaction on tape will keep them from getting sued down the road.
total coersion!!!! We should've seen it comning. First, they won't sell albums with "explicit lyrics"
Now recording gun purchases...
What does Walmart have against the first and second amendments?

Big thanks to EVERYONE that attended, we couldn't have done it without the participation and our sponsors this year.
I really want to thank everyone for being so respectfull to the grounds. As im sure all of you want to come back, we really want to keep the show and German Park.

Now, this was our first year at the site and we learned some things to improve on next year (like mk4 parking). Please let us know what you thought of the show, and any criticism you have that will help us make next year even better. This show is for you guys, so I want you to enjoy it!

The Southbank Centre is to undergo a radical £120 million transformation that includes a new glass pavilion in the sky, it was announced today.
The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Hayward Gallery are to be re-named the Festival Wing and closed for up to three years while the revamp takes place. But the end result will be new space for performances, exhibitions and socialising carved out of reclaimed and forgotten corridors and plant works on the 21-acre site.
The project will bring the Sixties buildings up to the standard of the slightly older Royal Festival Hall which underwent a renovation at similar cost six years ago.
The aim is to make a world-class cultural centre fit for the 21st century and more capable of welcoming the 25 million who now pour into the South Bank every year, including eight million attending events. Jude Kelly, the Southbank Centre's artistic director, said she wanted to turn the Festival Wing from a neglected "Cinderella space" into a third pavilion between the National Theatre and the Royal Festival Hall.
She said the site was "tired and under-nourished" but there was a swell of support to capitalise on the buzz that followed the Festival Hall re-development. "It would be unforgivable if we didn't seize the moment. London deserves for the site not to carry on being neglected.
"We're going to raise the money because to just refurbish would leave another generation of people having to pick up the baton for the changes that need to be made," she said.
The QEH and gallery will be united with a new glazed foyer on the roof of which will "float" the glass pavilion designed to achieve the first-class acoustics that critics claim the Festival Hall lacks.
The overhaul will also include new roof gardens, undercroft venues for gigs and cabaret and a building alongside Waterloo Bridge — echoing the offices and restaurants on the neighbouring Hungerford Bridge — which will house a new national literature centre and the poetry library.
The riverside skateboarders and graffiti artists will be offered an alternative home as more shops and restaurants are developed at ground level.
The plans, by architect Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, will go out for consultation with the aim of seeking planning permission in late spring and starting work in the autumn of next year. The vision has broad cross-party support from Boris Johnson, Kate Hoey, Labour MP for Vauxhall, and councillors.
The Southbank Centre has secured £20 million support from the Arts Council for the upgrading of the auditoria and to address problems such as poor access and backstage areas.

Tinker and Tom and the Star Baby (edition 2000)
by David McPhail, David McPhail (Illustrator)
Work details
Tinker and Tom and the Star Baby by David McPhail
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was an adorable science fiction of how a young boy and his bear friend help an alien baby find its way home. One night a young boy (Tinker) and his bear friend (Tom) gaze at the sky. A small shining object streaked across the sky into their backyard. They see that the object in their backyard is actually a spaceship. Inside the spaceship is a baby. Tinker and Tom help the baby get his spaceship back into space. The author uses the genre of science fiction to allow the reader to imagine themselves as the normal boy in the story, while also imagining themselves interacting with futuristic babies.. I would use this story to introduce the genre of science fiction to my students.
This was a fun kids explanation of a shooting star. It was them helping this baby star find his mama.The pictures were very cute and they went along with the story very well. I thought the illustrator got in touch with their inner child when creating the star baby character.
Tinker and Tom are at home watching the stars when they see a baby dressed as a star land in the backyard. They decide to help the baby star get home, they then try to make new rocket fuel for the baby. At the end, they don't want to let the baby go home but let him leave anyway and they help the baby by giving a push and sending him off into space.
This book is a great modern fantasy book because it gives children the opportunity to develop their imagination. Parts of the plot are grounded in reality but are exaggerated or not plausible. In the book there is gravitational pull from the baby messing up the kitchen, which is a concept that children will kind of understand. Gravity not fantasy but the fact that the baby dressed as a star will have it's own pull is clearly fantasy. There's a baby in a rocket, which is real technology yet the baby is a star and there is also a talking bear with the main character. This helps children "readily believe" as the textbook mentions.
This book is a great animal fantasy book mixed with realistic groundwork; it is a great book to introduce children to fantasy. The fact that there is a baby dressed as a star, which came from outer space, would really intrigue children and be astonished by the concept. The concept of a space baby and outer space influences will also appeal to the children reading this book. The fact that the baby star lands in the backyard of the child and his talking bear and then they try to "make more rocket fuel" with simple household items. It is a no brainer for a child to use logic to help someone else so I think children will relate with the main character and his helpfulness.
Review: This book is a great example of science fiction because it incorporates imaginative characters and settings, but bridges the gap of disbelief by using the possibilities of science. Tinker and Tom, a boy and a bear, find a Star Baby in their backyard and try to fix its spaceship so that it can return to its mother.

BOISE (AP) With the national stage left to Boise State, a mistake-filled first quarter wasn't the first impression Kellen Moore wanted to give.
The rest of the night, he was nearly flawless, perhaps only topped by a dominant performance from the Broncos' defense.
So, was the rest of college football paying attention?
"They got all the pieces, I mean they really do. I think the truth of the matter is people are scared to play them," Fresno State coach Pat Hill said. "They don't want to play them. It's like last year when they put Boise against TCU. They don't want to play against those types of teams. I'll say it. I have no problem saying it. I'll take Boise State against anybody in the country."
Moore shook off an interception and fumble in the first quarter to throw for 333 yards and four touchdowns, two each to Titus Young who caught eight passes for a career-high 164 yards — and Austin Pettis, and the No. 3 Broncos used a smothering defense to rout Fresno State 51-0 on Friday night.
GAME REPORT: Boise State 51, Fresno State 0
BRONCOS PRAISE: Hill: Teams are 'scared' to play Boise
With the rest of the BCS hierarchy — Oregon, Auburn and TCU — taking the weekend off, Boise State was the main attraction.
And after stumbling early, the Broncos didn't disappoint.
Wearing all-orange uniforms for what was believed to be the first time in nearly 20 years, the Broncos (10-0, 6-0 WAC) rolled to their 24th straight win, extending the longest streak in the country.
The Broncos handed Fresno State its first shutout loss since a 10-0 loss to San Diego State on Nov. 7, 1998. The Bulldogs entered Friday night averaging nearly 400 yards and 35 points.
"Seeing what they did to us on the ground last year, we really wanted to get some redemption and we did a good job with them," Boise State safety Jeron Johnson said.
The Bulldogs (6-4, 4-3) managed just nine first downs and 125 total yards. Ryan Colburn (FSY) was sacked four times and the Bulldogs gained 42 of their 125 yards on their final drive.
Robbie Rouse was the one asked to ground out this one for the Bulldogs, appearing especially dangerous after running for 286 yards against Louisiana Tech and following up with 217 last week against Nevada.
Aside from one dash for 23 yards, Rouse was a non-factor, gaining 37 of his 70 yards on the Bulldogs' final drive. Colburn caught the ire of Hill on a few occasions for his decisions and finished 6 of 23 for 76 yards.
"This Boise State team is the real deal. ... I hope they can make it to the big dance because they deserve it in my mind," Hill said. "I feel I can say that. We've played against some pretty darn good football teams in my time. Never have we been manhandled like that."
Moore, who completed 27 of 38 passes, and Young also added their names to even more pages in the Boise State record books. Moore became the school's career leader in yards passing, jumping past Ryan Dinwiddie. By the end of the regular season, Moore could crack the 10,000-yard mark.
Not surprisingly, Young has been on the receiving end of many of those yards and became Boise State's career leader in yards receiving on a 42-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter that made it 17-0.
Even kicker Kyle Brotzman got into the record book, becoming the school's career scoring leader, helped by field goals of 20, 20 and 50 yards.
"It's not how I thought the game was going to go," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "I was worried about this game because of the emotional games we played leading up to this week. But hats off to our guys."
Pettis added 10 catches for 93 yards and touchdown catches of 15 and 6 yards in the third quarter.
"I've been very fortunate to play with these guys," Moore said. "I feel like I say this a million times, but I feel fortunate to have a good offensive line and some good receivers who can make some plays."
Fresno State's best chance of at least making the chilly night interesting came on the lost fumble by Moore, who let the ball slip from his hands as he started his throwing motion. Defensive tackle Logan Harrell came up with the fumble and started toward the end zone, but the play was called an incompletion on the field.
It was overturned on replay, but Harrell had nothing but blue turf between himself and the end zone. Colburn was sacked on the ensuing possession, ending the Bulldogs' best chance at a score.
"They're a very good defensive football team. I don't think people give them the credit, to be perfectly honest that they deserve in that sense," Colburn said. "Their rank is every bit worth it."

Harlow and Sage
This cute couple, Harlow ( Weimaraner ) and Indiana who is a Miniature Dachshund look like a match made in heaven together.

This week's New York Times Sunday Magazine has a fascinating article profiling Richard Sandor, the founder of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), which is the trading platform that TerraPass and others use to purchase our carbon credits.
The article has a lot to say about the CCX, much of it positive, and much of it sharply critical. You might think the criticism would alarm us. After all, we're a member of the exchange and in some sense we run our business on top of it. But in fact we welcome the scrutiny that the carbon trading industry is receiving from the mainstream press. Scrutiny is necessary to a well-functioning market, and we want our customers to be as informed as possible.
More to the point, the criticisms center on issues we have long been aware of and have made great efforts to address through the design of our carbon portfolio. Let's walk through some of the questions raised in the article.
Project quality
Here we have a charge that goes to the heart of the TerraPass mission: some of the third-party offset projects are of dubious quality. For example, the author visits no-till farms that sell agricultural carbon offsets and discovers that the offset themselves don't bring about any incremental carbon reductions.
This is serious stuff. TerraPass buys third-party offsets, and the entire purpose of those purchases is to bring about reductions in carbon emissions. Have we or our customers been duped?
Fortunately, the answer is no. And the reason is simple: we aren't just buying any offsets. When you buy a TerraPass, we are very clear about what projects your purchase supports. As our product content label shows, 33% of your TerraPass is Green-e certified renewable energy credits (RECs) and 67% of your TerraPass is carbon credits from biomass and energy efficiency.
The projects we support on the CCX are structured with a mechanism called "bilateral agreements." What does that mean? Well, rather than just blindly buying on the exchange, we go find a project that we want to support. We learn all about it, get a thick verification report (electronic, of course) and layer on our own analysis of the project. We work with the project owner to write a contract, agree on a price, and then we execute the contract on the CCX. In addition to hand-selecting the project, we get all the benefit of a beautiful trading platform, NASD oversight, zero counterparty risk, and auditable third party records.
TerraPass pioneered the use of bilateral agreements on the CCX. Although the mechanism had been available all along, we were the first company in the exchange's history to make use of the provision to provide quality offsets to the market.
Emissions baselines
One of the most important issues in the design of a carbon market is choosing a baseline from which to measure emissions reductions. For example, members of CCX are required to reduce their emissions by 1 percent per year through 2006. The question is, 1 percent of what? Carbon emissions fluctuate all the time based on a number of factors, so one of the things a carbon market must do is establish firm criteria for establishing a baseline by which future reductions are measured. CCX has come under criticism for creating a baseline that some allege show favoritism toward certain companies.
The reality of baselines is that there is always a party upset with the allocation. We tend to see this as a much less important issue than the proper functioning of the market once the baseline has been established. More importantly, this issue doesn't affect TerraPass. When we buy offsets from corporate members of the CCX, we buy blocks from specific projects. For example, Waste Management submits to TerraPass a lengthy verification report for the Tontitown landfill which shows a documented reduction in CO2 emissions. We review this report, write a contract, and again use the handy tool of bilateral agreements to subsidize this project and this project only.
A criticism of the CCX is that the reductions from corporate members aren't really a result of membership on the exchange. The reductions are simply the actions of good corporate citizens who would have cut emissions anyway, and membership in the exchange is basically a way for those corporations to get credit for their good deeds.
Again, this is an entity-wide issue. When you are dealing with individual projects you can much more easily apply classic series of additionality tests that concern the individual carbon-reducing project you are sponsoring.
But it is a serious matter for the CCX more generally, and will remain so as long as membership in the exchange is voluntary. Eventually the day will come that all U.S. companies will operate under a mandatory cap-and-trade system, this adverse (or positive) selection bias will disappear, and make for a nice unfair competitive advantage for the companies that first learned how to integrate carbon economics into their operations.
An evolving standard
While we do support the goals of the CCX, we also believe that some carbon offsets on the CCX are more credible than others, and our purchases reflect this belief.
We were the first retailer to bring neutral third party oversight into our carbon offset program. Our partnership with The Center for Resource Solutions is a prototype for how to verify retail carbon products. The Center for Resource Solutions is developing a carbon retail standard which they plan to launch this fall. The development of that standard will include participation from leading environmental NGO's and a public comment period for stakeholders. We're excited to hear what people have to say about what we are doing now and how we can do it better. And most of all, we look forward to bringing our customers on the journey with us.
Clear as mud? Send us your questions and we'll try our best to answer any issue the article raised for you.
Disclosure: We were interviewed for the NYT article and provided feedback on a number of these issues and a real world purchaser's perspective.

- dmDeviceName
A zero-terminated character array that specifies the "friendly" name of the printer or display; for example, "PCL/HP LaserJet" in the case of PCL/HP LaserJet. This string is unique among device drivers. Note that this name may be truncated to fit in the dmDeviceName array.
- dmSpecVersion
The version number of the initialization data specification on which the structure is based. To ensure the correct version is used for any operating system, use DM_SPECVERSION.
- dmDriverVersion
The driver version number assigned by the driver developer.
- dmSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the DEVMODE structure, not including any private driver-specific data that might follow the structure's public members. Set this member to
sizeof (DEVMODE)to indicate the version of the DEVMODE structure being used.
- dmDriverExtra
Contains the number of bytes of private driver-data that follow this structure. If a device driver does not use device-specific information, set this member to zero.
- dmFields
Specifies whether certain members of the DEVMODE structure have been initialized. If a member is initialized, its corresponding bit is set, otherwise the bit is clear. A driver supports only those DEVMODE members that are appropriate for the printer or display technology.

- dmPaperLength
For printer devices only, overrides the length of the paper specified by the dmPaperSize member, either for custom paper sizes or for devices such as dot-matrix printers that can print on a page of arbitrary length. These values, along with all other values in this structure that specify a physical length, are in tenths of a millimeter.
- dmPaperWidth
For printer devices only, overrides the width of the paper specified by the dmPaperSize member.
- dmScale
Specifies the factor by which the printed output is to be scaled. The apparent page size is scaled from the physical page size by a factor of dmScale /100. For example, a letter-sized page with a dmScale value of 50 would contain as much data as a page of 17- by 22-inches because the output text and graphics would be half their original height and width.
- dmCopies
Selects the number of copies printed if the device supports multiple-page copies.
- dmDefaultSource
Specifies the paper source. To retrieve a list of the available paper sources for a printer, use the DeviceCapabilities function with the DC_BINS flag.
This member can be one of the following values, or it can be a device-specific value greater than or equal to DMBIN_USER.
- dmPrintQuality
Specifies the printer resolution. There are four predefined device-independent values:
If a positive value is specified, it specifies the number of dots per inch (DPI) and is therefore device dependent.
- dmPosition
For display devices only, a POINTL structure that indicates the positional coordinates of the display device in reference to the desktop area. The primary display device is always located at coordinates (0,0).
- dmDisplayOrientation
For display devices only, the orientation at which images should be presented. If DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION is not set, this member must be zero. If DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION is set, this member must be one of the following values
Value Meaning DMDO_DEFAULT The display orientation is the natural orientation of the display device; it should be used as the default. DMDO_90 The display orientation is rotated 90 degrees (measured clockwise) from DMDO_DEFAULT. DMDO_180 The display orientation is rotated 180 degrees (measured clockwise) from DMDO_DEFAULT. DMDO_270 The display orientation is rotated 270 degrees (measured clockwise) from DMDO_DEFAULT.
To determine whether the display orientation is portrait or landscape orientation, check the ratio of dmPelsWidth to dmPelsHeight.
Windows 2000: Not supported.
- dmDisplayFixedOutput
For fixed-resolution display devices only, how the display presents a low-resolution mode on a higher-resolution display. For example, if a display device's resolution is fixed at 1024 x 768 pixels but its mode is set to 640 x 480 pixels, the device can either display a 640 x 480 image somewhere in the interior of the 1024 x 768 screen space or stretch the 640 x 480 image to fill the larger screen space. If DM_DISPLAYFIXEDOUTPUT is not set, this member must be zero. If DM_DISPLAYFIXEDOUTPUT is set, this member must be one of the following values.
Value Meaning DMDFO_DEFAULT The display's default setting. DMDFO_CENTER The low-resolution image is centered in the larger screen space. DMDFO_STRETCH The low-resolution image is stretched to fill the larger screen space.
Windows 2000: Not supported.
- dmColor
Switches between color and monochrome on color printers. The following are the possible values:
- dmDuplex
Selects duplex or double-sided printing for printers capable of duplex printing. Following are the possible values.
Value Meaning DMDUP_SIMPLEX Normal (nonduplex) printing. DMDUP_HORIZONTAL Short-edge binding, that is, the long edge of the page is horizontal. DMDUP_VERTICAL Long-edge binding, that is, the long edge of the page is vertical.
- dmYResolution
Specifies the y-resolution, in dots per inch, of the printer. If the printer initializes this member, the dmPrintQuality member specifies the x-resolution, in dots per inch, of the printer.
- dmTTOption
Specifies how TrueType fonts should be printed. This member can be one of the following values.
Value Meaning DMTT_BITMAP Prints TrueType fonts as graphics. This is the default action for dot-matrix printers. DMTT_DOWNLOAD Downloads TrueType fonts as soft fonts. This is the default action for Hewlett-Packard printers that use Printer Control Language (PCL). DMTT_DOWNLOAD_OUTLINE Downloads TrueType fonts as outline soft fonts. DMTT_SUBDEV Substitutes device fonts for TrueType fonts. This is the default action for PostScript printers.
- dmCollate
Specifies whether collation should be used when printing multiple copies. (This member is ignored unless the printer driver indicates support for collation by setting the dmFields member to DM_COLLATE.) This member can be one of the following values.
Value Meaning DMCOLLATE_TRUE Collate when printing multiple copies. DMCOLLATE_FALSE Do not collate when printing multiple copies.
- dmFormName
A zero-terminated character array that specifies the name of the form to use; for example, "Letter" or "Legal". A complete set of names can be retrieved by using the EnumForms function.
- dmLogPixels
The number of pixels per logical inch. Printer drivers do not use this member.
- dmBitsPerPel
Specifies the color resolution, in bits per pixel, of the display device (for example: 4 bits for 16 colors, 8 bits for 256 colors, or 16 bits for 65,536 colors). Display drivers use this member, for example, in the ChangeDisplaySettings function. Printer drivers do not use this member.
- dmPelsWidth
Specifies the width, in pixels, of the visible device surface. Display drivers use this member, for example, in the ChangeDisplaySettings function. Printer drivers do not use this member.
- dmPelsHeight
Specifies the height, in pixels, of the visible device surface. Display drivers use this member, for example, in the ChangeDisplaySettings function. Printer drivers do not use this member.
- dmDisplayFlags
Specifies the device's display mode. This member can be a combination of the following values.
Value Meaning DM_GRAYSCALE Specifies that the display is a noncolor device. If this flag is not set, color is assumed. DM_INTERLACED Specifies that the display mode is interlaced. If the flag is not set, noninterlaced is assumed.
Display drivers use this member, for example, in the ChangeDisplaySettings function. Printer drivers do not use this member.
- dmNup
Specifies where the NUP is done. It can be one of the following.
Value Meaning DMNUP_SYSTEM The print spooler does the NUP. DMNUP_ONEUP The application does the NUP.
- dmDisplayFrequency
Specifies the frequency, in hertz (cycles per second), of the display device in a particular mode. This value is also known as the display device's vertical refresh rate. Display drivers use this member. It is used, for example, in the ChangeDisplaySettings function. Printer drivers do not use this member.
When you call the EnumDisplaySettings function, the dmDisplayFrequency member may return with the value 0 or 1. These values represent the display hardware's default refresh rate. This default rate is typically set by switches on a display card or computer motherboard, or by a configuration program that does not use display functions such as ChangeDisplaySettings.
- dmICMMethod
Specifies how ICM is handled. For a non-ICM application, this member determines if ICM is enabled or disabled. For ICM applications, the system examines this member to determine how to handle ICM support. This member can be one of the following predefined values, or a driver-defined value greater than or equal to the value of DMICMMETHOD_USER.
Value Meaning DMICMMETHOD_NONE Specifies that ICM is disabled. DMICMMETHOD_SYSTEM Specifies that ICM is handled by Windows. DMICMMETHOD_DRIVER Specifies that ICM is handled by the device driver. DMICMMETHOD_DEVICE Specifies that ICM is handled by the destination device.
The printer driver must provide a user interface for setting this member. Most printer drivers support only the DMICMMETHOD_SYSTEM or DMICMMETHOD_NONE value. Drivers for PostScript printers support all values.
- dmICMIntent
Specifies which color matching method, or intent, should be used by default. This member is primarily for non-ICM applications. ICM applications can establish intents by using the ICM functions. This member can be one of the following predefined values, or a driver defined value greater than or equal to the value of DMICM_USER.
Value Meaning DMICM_ABS_COLORIMETRIC Color matching should optimize to match the exact color requested without white point mapping. This value is most appropriate for use with proofing. DMICM_COLORIMETRIC Color matching should optimize to match the exact color requested. This value is most appropriate for use with business logos or other images when an exact color match is desired. DMICM_CONTRAST Color matching should optimize for color contrast. This value is the most appropriate choice for scanned or photographic images when dithering is desired. DMICM_SATURATE Color matching should optimize for color saturation. This value is the most appropriate choice for business graphs when dithering is not desired.
- dmMediaType
Specifies the type of media being printed on. The member can be one of the following predefined values, or a driver-defined value greater than or equal to the value of DMMEDIA_USER.
