Richard Waters gives his thoughts on the Microsoft / Yahoo deal – listen below:
Google Chrome has had a strange start to life. The browser is undoubtedly fast, and given it's very new, has a lot of good features packed into it.
But where are the users? As Google took Chrome out of beta today , it revealed that the browser has gained 10m active users in its first 100 days. That sounds like a lot – until you compare it to others. Firefox – a rival browser that is more firmly established as the main alternative to Internet Explorer – has around 20 per cent of the browser market, compared to Chrome which is yet to break 1 per cent.

How much does spam cost? It's hard to quantify in terms of bandwidth, time and effort blocking it, and general nuisance. But here's a figure to mull over: $873m.
That's how much Facebook has been awarded in damages against a spammer in a US court for sending unsolicited messages on the Facebook network. And if it sounds trivial in this era of multi-billion dollar bailouts, it's a lot more than Facebook's expected revenues for 2008 – more than double, in fact. Read more
Google has made two very interesting moves this week. The first was to close Lively, the company's version of Second Life. The second was to launch SearchWiki, or personalised search results.
On the surface, these don't look related. Closing the virtual world Lively might look like a simple investment call, but Google hardly has to worry about cashflow. The company has many projects that on the surface don't make a great deal of money. Read more
We all know that Google collects a phenomenal amount of personal data – a perennial question is whether it's healthy for one company to know so much about us all.
But what if all that collective data could be used to spot disease epidemics before they take hold? Good thing or bad thing? I'd say good. Read more
We all know that Google can count. The company based its IPO on a billion times the mathematical constant "e", so I don't doubt the arithmetic credentials at Mountain View.
So the launch of the Android market, the application store for the new G1 phone, indicates that the Android team needs to check their calculations. Read more
The news from the Symbian smartphone show in the UK was that Lee Williams (pictured) was announced as the new head of the Symbian Foundation, the provider of the mobile software platform supported by many industry players.
But the recent annoucement of iPhone App store rivals by RIM and Google makes the European side of the mobile platform market seem a little behind the curve. While the US is making a marketplace for developers, questions over the Foundation's independence are still being raised. Read more
Microsoft marketing has an identity crisis. Which means Microsoft doesn't know how to talk to its customers, and that's a big issue for the company.
Leave aside issues of desktop vs cloud software, Google vs Live search, and whether Yahoo was worth $33 per share. Instead, let's look at how the company actually engages the public. Read more
Technology is usually seen as empowering, allowing us to do more with less, whether it's money, time or effort. But we tend to forget the restrictive side of technology. This week two great examples have emerged.
The first is a setting for Google email, which is called Mail Goggles, and stops you emailing people late at night on specific days by setting you some arithmetic questions. You can configure it for any time or day of the week, but the defaults are Friday and Saturday between 10pm and 4am, so it's clearly aimed at social drinkers. Get one of the 5 questions wrong or fail to complete in the time allowed, and it says: "Water and bed for you." Ouch. Read more
Michael Dell was in London yesterday, and held a Q&A with a group of journalists. And I must admit that although he came across as very likeable, his ability to avoid answering questions (well, the ones he didn't want to answer) was superb.

One of the often-cited benefits of the web is the ability to update websites in realtime. Or, failing that, on a daily basis. Or now and then.
Or, in the case of www.lehman.com, not at all. Apparently, the bank is still open for business, and thriving as ever. The latest press release available on the site is the bank's third quarter results. Read more
Today saw the launch of A Message from Earth, a "ground-breaking digital time capsule that will be created entirely by the Bebo community this summer and beamed into deep space on a 120 trillion-mile journey."
The Bebo page has a video introduction by someone called Venetia, who tells us that there's a planet 20.5 light years away that is very similar to Earth, "and could, in fact, hold life". In fact we have no idea, but don't let that stop you. Read more
Of all the schemes Google has dreamt up over the years, Street View has got to be one of the most controversial.
For those not familiar with the idea, Google are taking photos of every street in pretty much the whole world, and integrating it with Google Maps. Naturally, several privacy groups are up in arms at the idea, even though Google have agreed to blur faces and remove people if they request it. Read more

Learn more about Usability
Usability is a term used to denote the ease with which people can employ a particular tool or other human-made object in order to achieve a particular goal. Usability can also refer to the methods of measuring usability and the study of the principles behind an object's perceived efficiency or elegance.
In human-computer interaction and computer science, usability usually refers to the elegance and clarity with which the interaction with a computer program or a web site is designed. The term is also used often in the context of products like consumer electronics, or in the areas of communication, and knowledge transfer objects (such as a cookbook, a document or online help). It can also refer to the efficient design of mechanical objects such as a door handle or a hammer.
[edit] Introduction
The primary notion of usability is that an object designed with the users' psychology and physiology in mind are, for example:
- More efficient to use—it takes less time to accomplish a particular task
- Easier to learn—operation can be learned by observing the object
- More satisfying to use
Complex computer systems are finding their way into everyday life, and at the same time the market is becoming saturated with competing brands. This has led to usability becoming more popular and widely recognised in recent years as companies see the benefits of researching and developing their products with user-oriented instead of technology-oriented methods. By understanding and researching the interaction between product and user, the usability expert can also provide insight that is unattainable by traditional company-oriented market research. For example, after observing and interviewing users, the usability expert may identify needed functionality or design flaws that were not anticipated.
In the user-centered design paradigm, the product is designed with its intended users in mind at all times. In the user-driven or participatory design paradigm, some of the users become actual or de facto members of the design team.
The term user friendly is often used as a synonym for usable, though it may also refer to accessibility. The use of terms user friendly and user friendliness should be avoided, as there are no widely accepted definitions for them, and they are thus often used without much substance.
There is no consensus about the relation of the terms ergonomics (or human factors) and usability. Some think of usability as the software specialization of the larger topic of ergonomics. Others view these topics as tangential, with ergonomics focusing on physiological matters (e.g., turning a door handle) and usability focusing on psychological matters (e.g., recognising that this door can be opened by turning that handle).
[edit] Defining usability
Usability is often associated with the functionalities of the product (cf. ISO definition, below), in addition to being solely a characteristic of the user interface (cf. framework of system acceptability, also below, which separates usefulness into utility and usability). For example, an automobile lacking a reverse gear could be considered unusable according to the former view, and lacking in utility according to the latter view.
It is important to distinguish between usability testing and usability engineering. Usability testing is the measurement of ease of use of a product or piece of software. In contrast, usability engineering (UE) is the research and design process that ensures a product with good usability.
[edit] ISO standard
The document ISO 9126 (1991) Software Engineering Product Quality, issued by the International Organization for Standardization, defines usability as:
- A set of attributes that bear on the effort needed for use, and on the individual assessment of such use, by a stated or implied set of users.
The document ISO 9241-11 (1998) Guidance on Usability, also issued by the International Organization for Standardization, defines usability as:
- The extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a specified context of use.
[edit] System acceptability
Usability consultant Jakob Nielsen and computer science professor Ben Shneiderman have written (separately) about a framework of system acceptability, where usability is a part of "usefulness" and is composed of:
- Learnability (e.g. intuitive navigation)
- Efficiency of use
- Memorability
- Few and noncatastrophic errors
- Subjective satisfaction
[edit] Usability considerations
Usability includes considerations such as:
- Who are the users, what do they know, and what can they learn?
- What do users want or need to do?
- What is the general background of the users?
- What is the context in which the user is working?
- What has to be left to the machine? What to the user?
Answers to these can be obtained by conducting user and task analysis at the start of the project.
[edit] Other considerations
- Can users easily accomplish their intended tasks? For example, can users accomplish intended tasks at their intended speed?
- How much training do users need?
- What documentation or other supporting materials are available to help the user? Can users find the solutions they seek in these materials?
- What and how many errors do users make when interacting with the product?
- Can the user recover from errors? What do users have to do to recover from errors? Does the product help users recover from errors? For example, does software present comprehensible, informative, non-threatening error messages?
- Are there provisions for meeting the special needs of users with disabilities? (accessibility)
Examples of ways to find answers to these and other questions are: user-focused requirements analysis, building user profiles, and usability testing.
[edit] Conclusion
Usability is now recognized as an important software quality attribute, earning its place among more traditional attributes such as performance and robustness. Indeed, various academic programs focus on usability. [1] Also several usability consultancy companies have emerged, and traditional consultancy and design firms are offering similar services.

I recently moved into my first apartment and am definitely enjoying being on my on. **Edit** Still enjoying being on my own, but now I'm learning what it's like living with no roommate other than the dogs! So far, so good!
My family and friends are really important to me.
I consider myself a bit of a hopeless romantic (I guess watching too many chick flicks will do that you!)
I love to laugh and like to think that I can make other people laugh as well.
Semi-random thought: does anyone else think that one of those escape rooms would make a really awesome date??
Not so physically speaking, I would say it is that I would do anything for someone I care about - whether it is a friend or a family member or significant other. While it can sometimes get me in trouble, I will often put others' happiness before my own.
Books: Harry Potter series, Hunger Games series, Divergent trilogy, Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events (I know it is meant for teenagers, but it is so hilarious!), and tons of others. I try to read as much as I can! My "want to read" list is very long right now...
Movies: Generally speaking, I like comedies, chick flicks, and some dramas.
Shows: How I Met Your Mother, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Big Bang Theory, and some reality TV.
Music: I will listen to almost anything once. I am not a huge fan of Rap, Hip Hop or Heavy Metal, but other than that I like lots of things! Some of my favorites include Ingrid Michaelson, Matt Nathanson, and Mumford & Sons (just recently got into them). Also, I'm a bit of a Musical Theater nerd. Love to listen to shows, go see them, and play in pit orchestras as much as possible.
Food: Again, not terribly picky. Not a huge fan of seafood, but I will try almost anything once. I really love Italian food!
Broadway shows
As sad as it is to admit, the internet...
Other than that, guess you will have to ask me! (I'm pretty much an open book, though...)
Also, when I write messages, I take the time to write more than "sup" or "nice eyes," so please do the same for me.
Oh, one more thing. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to the dating world. I will occasionally send messages first, but I like/appreciate it when the guy makes the first move -- send me a message! :)

Chapter Eighteen: Let Them Come
In the throne room of Ba Sing Se, a lone man sat on the throne reserved for the King. He sat alone in the room, his hands slowly strumming the arms of his chair, waiting.
The door to the room flew open, and over a dozen people, comprised of both men and women, flooded into the room. They all looked serious, and all of them were dressed for war. At the front were Ghan Remen and Jonn Hithan. They bowed to the man, who waved off their courtesy with a wave of the hand.
"Report," said the man
"It is as we thought. The Avatar's forces have grown...due to the addition of the spirits." said Ghan Remen with a hint of sadness
"So they have come...I wondered if they would even show up this time after all we did. Very well, our plan goes forward. Any prediction as to when they will strike?"
Jonn Hithan stepped forward, "Our spies do not know an exact time, but with Rey's forces bolstered greatly by the spirits, it would be foolish to wait. I would expect the attack today, tomorrow at the very latest."
"I believe you Jonn. It would be foolish to wait, especially after their recent..."victory". Prepare the army, all divisions, position the forward force at the six divides in the wall, no doubt that is where they will attempt to breach Ba Sing Se."
"Yes sir, I'll prepare it at once." said Jonn Hithan who then turned and left the room
"If I may sir," said Ghan Remen, "what happens if they breach the first line of defense?"
The man chuckled deeply, his voice resounding throughout the room.
"Fear not, even if they breach the walls, they will have to make their way through the entire city just to get to us. They'll find that...rather difficult. It was with good reason I chose Ba Sing Se for our home, and by the end of this battle, they will know that they have fallen into a trap that they will not be able to dig themselves out of. The war that started so long ago, before any of us existed, will end very soon. So...let them come."
At the base camp, Rey, Ena, Raya, and the generals were in their tent planning for the attack on Ba Sing Se. Joining them this time was Swift, Shorin, and a few other spirits. They poured over the map and began plotting their attack. Rey had only recently been brought up to speed on what the others did in their final mission, and was thus asking questions about every detail that mattered.
"We have six openings, spread out across the city, that'll play to our advantage if we use them correctly. How big are they though? How much damage did the blasts do?" asked Rey
"A lot," said Beron, "I'd say the gaps in the walls are at least ten feet wide. Which will be great for both us, our mechs and tanks, and of course of spirit friends."
Beron smiled at the spirits who bowed in reply to him. Rey smiled as well but remained focused.
"Good, we're going to need all the advantages we can get to make it through this alive. I know I've always been confident when talking about dealing with The Conspiracy, but trying to take down an entire city that they've had prepared for who knows how long? Not a great confidence builder."
"I agree," said Shorin, "no doubt they have been planning their defenses for a long time, possibly before they even killed Fire Lord Zaron and framed you for murder. No matter what plan we make, or course action we take, we must be careful, and not wander into traps prepared for us."
Rey nodded and looked at the map once again, "Yeah. Our best bet is to try and shake things up, not rely on what we've done before."
"Shouldn't that be easy now that the spirits are here with us?" asked Raya
"Usually I'd say yes, but what Mick told me has got me worried."
"You mean about the spies?" asked Swift
"Yeah, we can't risk thinking that they don't know you're here. That could be a death sentence for both you and us. And I will not have that."
"So what do we do?"
"We do what any person would do who's playing against any opponent they've never faced before. We make them show their hand. Here's what we're going to do to start off..."
Rey began explaining the plan to all in the tent, a mixture of shock and confusion first struck them upon hearing the plan, but then it all became clear by the end.
"Bold plan," noted Nard, "it might work though, at least to get us into the city and past their first line of defenses. But what about after that?"
Rey sighed and shrugged, "I have no idea. I'm just worried about getting us in and getting a position, or positions, we can hold. Once we establish ourselves, we can move towards the throne room. That's where he'll be."
"He?" asked Shorin
"Whoever's behind this. At first I thought this was a true group conspiracy, it felt like it, the list showed me it. But after hearing what Jimon had to say? I'm not so sure. Someone, has been pulling the strings of The Conspiracy from the very beginning. I don't know who he is, but I do know he must be powerful, and able to command respect for so many to follow him. And every fiber of my being is telling me he's there, sitting on the throne. Where he thinks he belongs, and it's our job to kick him off of that throne."
"And we will do it." said Ena confidently
"No matter what it takes," added Raya
"You have our support Rey." said Shorin who bowed to him in respect
"Thank you, all of you, get everyone ready. We attack soon."
They all began to file out, Raya and Ena were the last to leave, Rey looked over to them, "Raya, a moment if you please."
Raya walked back over to him. Ena looked at Rey knowingly. he nodded to her and motioned for her to leave. She did so.
"What do you need?" asked Raya
Rey sighed and rubbed his chin nervously before looking at her straight in the eyes, "Um...I just...we're...there's a good chance that we might not make it through this battle."
"True, the odds aren't in our favor."
"I agree, so I just...I don't want things left...unsaid and all that...and I need to tell you that--"
"That you and Ena are together?" said Raya smiling evilly
Rey was stunned, "How..?"
She laughed softly and shook her head, "Rey, despite what you and Ena have joked about, I'm not dense. And if there's one thing I've gotten good at, it's reading you two. From the moment you left us for the Spirit World, Ena was low, like really low. At first I didn't understand why, then it hit me, you chose her, and she had a feeling you weren't coming back."
This time Rey laughed, "Not bad Raya, not bad at all. Are you...alright?"
"I'll admit, I wasn't happy at first, I had known you longer and all that. I thought we had grown close, but in the end...I guess it was the logical choice."
She turned away sadly, he raised her head to make her eyes meet his.
"Raya...it's not about logic, or right and wrong. I honestly could've chosen you, I know it may not have seemed it at times, but I cared for you just as much as I cared for Ena. Believe that, I did. And I still do."
"Then why did you choose her?" she asked, the pain now clear in her voice
Rey looked away as he thought of the answer, it was as complicated as he was, layered, and deep. When he was as ready as he could be he looked at her with honesty and sincerity.
"I just asked myself...who would I be able to spend the rest of my life with?"
"And you said Ena?"
"Actually I said both of you. I honestly could spend the rest of my life with both of you. But then I asked, who would be more willing to spend it with me, in the way that I choose?"
"You mean as the Avatar...?"
"No..." said Rey with a smile, "as Rey."
"I don't understand..." she replied confused
"If this works, if we do what I hope we do, then there will be a lot of work to be done. And I will do it, as the Avatar I will do it. But then there will be a day, when I'll just want to return home, and be Rey again. When I think about Ena? Especially after everything she's gone through? I can tell she wants to stop being the assassin, truly this time. To go back to her roots and just be happy, and I think she would be happy with me and my home. And though I know you'd want to be at my side, I don't think you'd be willing to stay in my little village for the rest of your life."
"Isn't that my decision to make?"
"It is. But like you said, we've grown together, and we're friends, and I know how to read you. One of the things that I honestly do love about you, is that you love having a sense of purpose. When you became a bender, your purpose was to be better. When your father gave you reign over the temple, your purpose was to protect it, and to be your fathers eyes and ears. When we started this whole thing, you dedicated everything to stopping The Conspiracy, and now, you want to end this. But what then? What will be your purpose when this is over?"
She began to speak but couldn't form and answer, "I...don't know."
"Exactly. Now like I said, there's going to be plenty to do after this is over, but it will end, at least at first. And while I would be one to relax and enjoy my life. I know you'll go out in search of a new purpose. Whether it be keeping the world safe, building new things, or training the next generation, you're a go-getter Raya. You do what you want, and nothing else, and that's awesome. I...I would just weigh you down. I would want to have roots, while you'd want to spread your seeds, so to speak, across the entire world. That's who you are, and that's why you're amazing, and many people will see that as time goes on. But that's not who I am, and I would hate to restrict you, and bind you to something you don't want to be. Am I wrong in thinking this?"
Raya looked away and thought about what Rey said, as she thought about her life she saw the truth in Rey's words. She smiled and looked at him kindly.
"No Rey, you're not wrong."
"It means the world to me that you said that. Because I would hate to have caused you pain wrongfully."
"I know."
"And though I know this won't mean the same, I can tell you one thing for certain Raya."
"What's that?"
"You're the best friend I have ever had. You have pushed me to be better, tested my strength, tested my resolve. And though sometimes you frustrated the heck out of me, you've always been there for me, and you were never untrue to yourself in the process. I couldn't ask for a better friend at my side."
He held arm out in a symbol of camaraderie, Raya smiled and clasped his hand in return.
"Same to you Rey. I wouldn't be here without you. I would still be that naïve girl you met in the Fire Nation."
"You mean that naïve little girl who put me through a wall, then dropped another wall on top of me?"
Raya laughed and rolled her eyes, "Are you ever going to let that go?"
"No." Rey said with a smile
They both laughed and soon just looked at each other with kindness and happiness. Rey though soon grew somber.
"I hate to do this Raya, and for the record I'm going to tell Ena this too. But the rest of The Conspiracy is most likely held in Ba Sing Se, that includes..."
"My father. I know. And if he shows up, do whatever you have to, whether that means trapping him, knocking him out...or killing him. Do it, cause if I get the chance. I will."
Rey nodded, "Ok. That's all I needed to hear. Stay safe Raya, I want you to be alive after this."
"Same to you Rey, the only one who gets to defeat you is me."
"Of course Raya."
They both smiled and laughed one last time before heading out of the tent. The camp was buzzing with movement as they stepped outside. It was then that it truly hit Rey, this was about to happen.
"There's Ena." said Raya pointing across the way
Ena was indeed waiting for them, somewhat anxiously in fact, and when they proceeded towards her she got even more nervous. She looked at them both in turn repeatedly before looking down.
"So..." she started but couldn't seem to find the words
"Ena, it's ok. I'm fine with it." said Raya sincerely
"Yeah, Rey spoke the truth, and...I can handle that."
Ena sighed in relief, "Good, cause I didn't want any tension in between us going into...well you know."
"We're fine, all of us. Right Rey?"
"Right. So, is everything going well?" asked Rey
"As well as it can be. I can tell many people are anxious, others nervous, several are afraid." answered Ena
"I'd be worried if they weren't. This will not be easy."
"Nothing worth doing is." said a voice behind them
Swift walked up to them and sat before them. Rey smiled at the wolf and shook his head.
"I never got to ask you this Swift but, why did they come? What changed their minds?"
The wolf chuckled, "You did."
"Rey, they thought you would rather die than go back to your world powerless. Because doing so would surely mean the failure of your cause. But your...willingness to give it all up, just so you could be with your friends, so you could die with them, it moved them. True, not all of them came, as many still don't believe in this war. But many saw that if you, and all who are here today, were willing to take that risk to save both worlds, then they should take that risk as well."
"Wow, I didn't...wow."
Rey looked over where a group of spirits where conversing, he smiled as he saw them.
"What can I say Rey? You have an effect on people, and apparently spirits."
"So it would seem. Are they ready for what's to come?"
"As ready as they'll ever be."
"Good. Let's make sure everyone's ready, then we move."
They scattered and began making the rounds. Swift looked upon the spirits once again and chatted with them about the upcoming battle, and the plan they were to use. Ena checked in on the many members of the ranks, mainly the members of the resistance that she had bonded with over time. Raya made her way to the generals to ensure that everyone was ready for the task at hand. Rey meanwhile checked on Mick, who was busy making the final preparations.
Mick was hard at work when Rey walked in.
"Are we ready Mick?" he asked
Mick stood up and looked around, "We're ready."
Rey rejoined the others and waited outside the camp. Slowly, their army gathered, ready for battle, ready for war. A nervousness gripped Rey as more and more humans and spirits came together. He knew that many of them would not make it through this fight. Was that ok? Was such a sacrifice truly needed to finish this fight?
But as he looked upon the faces of not only his friends, but his followers, he saw in them a determination, a willingness to do whatever it took to stop The Conspiracy, to free their world from their tyranny. And to save the Spirit World, along with their own. Soon their entire army gathered. It's numbers were impressive, for it stretched out almost as far as the eye could see. The spirits stood side by side with the humans in a sign of unity. Rey nodded and smiled as he looked upon them all.
"I've made plenty of speeches to last a lifetime, so I'll just say this. We know why we're here. We're here, to save two worlds, and we're doing it with members from both of them. This will not be simple. We're taking on an entire city. But if you keep the faith, believe in the one next you, and trust that what you are doing is right. We'll win. I have no doubt."
From the crowd a man roared in approval, he was soon joined by another, and another, until the whole army, humans and spirits alike, roared with pride. Rey let it go on for a few moments before settling them down.
"You know your assignments, stay to them. Be ready for anything, but do not falter. Whatever they have in store for us, let them come. We will face them together. Now let's go!"
He motioned and the army began to march. Like thunder they stormed across the plain on their way to Ba Sing Se. As the city came into view Rey motioned for the army to split up, and they did so. He knew that the only way to do this was to attack all six points at once. True, it would be what they were expecting. But not even they would know who would be at which point. And to leave a force unaccounted for, one that could easily come to bolster the forces of another area, would be catastrophic. Rey and his team soon reached their point, and they watched as the other battalions of their army marched on to try and reach their destination.
The sun soon rose high into the sky. As Rey looked upon it, he knew that it was almost time. He looked upon the men, women, and spirits that he would be fighting with, and then turned to Raya, Ena, and Swift who were all with them.
"You all ready?" he asked
"As I'll ever be." said Ena
"Ready, and willing Rey." answered Raya
"I stand with you still," replied Swift, "but why did you want all of us with you? Would it not have been wiser to divide us up?"
Rey shrugged, "Maybe. But I need you here Swift because I'll be giving orders through you, and having you closer lessens the strain on you."
"And us?" asked Raya
This time Rey smiled, "I just want you gals by my side for this. Is that ok?"
They both smiled and nodded, Rey turned around to face the city.
"No matter what happens. I'm lucky to have met all of you, and I'm proud to call you my friends."
"We feel the same way Rey, you know that." said Ena
"We wouldn't be here if we didn't believe in you." added Raya
He didn't turn back, instead he remained focused on the city. The wall still had the divide in it, which made their job easier, even if only a little. He pulled out the communicator and clicked it three times, then he waited. Within seconds five more clicks were heard.
It was time.
Rey closed his eyes and took some deep breathes, like his master had always told him to do in times when being calm was paramount. He felt his center come forth and for the last time he addressed his troops.
"You know what to do, take positions, we charge at my mark!"
The battalion shifted and weaved around itself to do as Rey asked. Within moments they were set and Rey looked back at the city, more determined than he had ever been in his life. He clicked the communicator again and held it to send out one long burst. He then began walking forward, slowly, methodically.
Then he took a deep breath and shouted, "CHARGE!!!!!"
Rey took off and the army roared behind him and followed. The army charged at the mighty gap in the wall. Just as Rey thought might happen, they were immediately bombarded by shots from the air. Rey shouted for his troops to counter. Benders and spirits shot into the air and either blasted or deflected the bombardments away so that his army would be unscathed. Still moving onwards, Rey then saw enemy forces come from the gap in the walls. An equal mix of man and machine standing tall and daring them to enter.
Rey raised his arm and pointed at them, "Earth Corps, form up!"
From behind him, a plethora of Earthbenders bounded forth and joined him on the front lines. Rey then span in place and raised a patch of earth for him to ride on, the other Earthbenders did the same and they charged at the enemy lines. The tanks and mechs and benders that were there in the gap fired round after round at them. Rey's forces took some hits but stayed in the fight. Finally when they were close enough he gave the order.
"Spears, spears!"
The Earthbenders jumped off their mounds of earth and slammed onto the ground. The earth shook and then rose up by the command of the benders. They then formed the earth into pointed spears, the enemy looked at them in fear for there were at least two hundred earth spears staring them down.
"Now!" shouted Rey and they launched the spears at the enemy
The spears collided with both man and machine and did damage. Even the platinum mechs that were there were rocked by them, even though they did no true damage to the hardened shell.
When their attack was done, Rey pulled back along with the Earthbenders and headed back to the ever approaching line. He soon met up with Ena and Raya.
"Ladies, you ready to give them a show?"
"I think we have something that'll do the trick." said Raya happily, "Ready Ena?"
"Ready, pour it on Raya." replied Ena
"Want some extra power? asked Rey
"Give us all you can."
"Alright, Fire Corps, form up!"
The Firebenders that heard the call surrounded them, and once formed up Ena rose up into the air and started spinning. An air tornado formed and began to grow.
"Now!" shouted Raya and she shot forth a flamethrower into the tornado
The fire latched onto the tornado and began to circle it and the fire began to grow. Seeing what they were up to, Rey motioned for the other Firebenders to do the same, and they all added their fires to the tornado. Soon the already massive tornado grew even more, it was a twister of pure fire, with Ena at it's core.
Still in control, Ena moved towards the wall, and the armies moved out of her way as she approached. She soon slammed into the enemy line and launched bits of the tornado at them with her control of both the air and the fire. The enemy became consumed by the tornado and had no response for it. The mechs and tanks blindly shot into the tornado trying to make it stop. But Ena blocked the attacks as they came and continued the assault. Only when she actually made it into the city did she take pause.
She curled up and then let loose all the power the tornado had, sending the fire in all directions. Now exposed, she raced back to Rey, avoiding multiple attacks as she did so. The army was almost at the wall, and she met him just before reaching it.
"What's wrong?" he asked seeing her worried expression
"There's an airfield in the city, they're beginning to launch planes, a lot of them. And there's a bunch of mechs coming our way." she replied still catching her breath
"Thanks for the info. Swift?"
"Right here." replied the wolf
"We're going to have company in the sky. Send out the signal, they want an air war? Give them one."
"With pleasure."
Swift began to glow and then looked to the sky and howled fiercely. The sound echoed all around, to all parts of the city. On the other side of Ba Sing Se, Beron and the other generals heard the call.
"They're coming with air support," said Beron realizing what was happening, "mount up!"
From all around the city, benders and spirits came together and shot into the skies. The benders rode on the backs of the spirits, and many other spirits flew in by themselves. Shorin and Matrogan took the lead in the skies, on Shorin's back was Jinzon, who had only recently joined the army.
"Here they come! Be ready!" he shouted as he saw the planes slowly rise into the sky
The two armies clashed in midair. The benders and spirits striking with their elements or natural abilities. The planes unleashed an arsenal of fire shooters, and missiles at them. The explosions rocked the army but they kept going. The sky was soon filled with hundreds of planes, spirits, and benders, all battling for air superiority.
The spirits soon began getting the upper hand, their speed and evasiveness were greater than that of the planes. But then out of nowhere attacks came from below. Several shots nearly hit Shorin and he looked down to see what was transpiring.
"No bender nor machination could reach this high..." noted the spirit
"They can if they have those!" replied Jinzon pointing down,
Below, the machines that had been used to bombard the army from before were now changed and now began shooting the spirits high into the sky.
"If we don't take those out we'll be picked off." said Shorin
"Agreed." said Jinzon and he looked around to see who was near him, "You five come with me! We need to take those out!"
Shorin and five other spirits swooped down, dodging numerous rounds of artillery fire, and soon became level with the machines themselves. The benders and the spirits worked together to destroy the machines, and soon had them all beaten with only minimal loss. They took back to the skies to weed out the remaining resistance.
Back on the ground, Rey and his forces made it to the wall and now were battling hand to hand with those guarding it. Bender, spirit, and machine clashed as both sides waged war with the other. The platinum mechs tipped the balance at first when they launched numerous attacks at once, hurting many of Rey's forces. But that balance was regained as the spirits banded together and took out the mechs one by one. The remaining tanks were beaten by a combination of Earthbenders and Firebenders as they rendered their tracks immobile and their barrels useless.
Rey, Ena, Raya, Swift, and the rest of his battalion let loose on the remaining soldiers and machines and soon had them beaten back. Slowly they made their way into the city.
With a final push, Rey ordered everyone to attack with all they had and defeat the remaining forces. Within minutes their whole battalion had made it in the city. As he looked up into the sky he saw the spirits, and the spirits alone, in the sky circling above them. They had won the air, now the land had to be won.
He turned to look at his force. Many had wounds, but only a few were showing any pain from them. He ordered the Waterbenders to do some quick healing while he assessed the situation. Rey looked around and saw the enemy running, but nothing else. Something didn't feel right.
Rey grabbed the communicator and clicked it for the others to report. Five clicks soon sounded, all stating they were in the city. He sighed in relief and began to relax when the sound of clapping filled the air. Rey turned to see which of his men was doing it, but none of them were doing so, they were just as confused as he was.
The clapping continued, it echoed throughout the city. As quickly as it started though...it stopped. But a laugh soon followed.
"Well done Avatar. Breaching the walls of Ba Sing Se has never truly been done, at least not like this. You are to be commended for your strategy."
A pause soon came, and the laughter began again.
"Speak Avatar! I can hear you, I have eyes and ears everywhere."
"Who are you?" he asked as loud as he dared
"I am the one you seek. The head of...what did you call us again? Oh yes, The Conspiracy. I am the leader of the group, the one they all follow so loyally. It must burn you up not knowing who I am."
"Your name will only be remembered as another who failed to get what he wanted."
The laughter now boomed throughout the city, "Failed have I? I have this city, I control our world. How many have aligned themselves with me and my cause? To rid the world of the spirits and remake it in our image, our glorious image. Many Avatar, many. Which is why I am going to defeat you, then kill you for all to see."
"Big talk from a guy who won't even show himself."
"I need not show myself. Not yet. You will see me before the end though. However, for now, I suggest you focus on your immediate surroundings."
The voice stopped, but noise soon took it's place. The sounds of machines whirring and grinding filled the city. Rey looked around and saw the houses and ground around them were shaking. The city was moving, shifting, and from the holes that now appeared in the ground came a plethora of mechs, tanks, soldiers, and other monstrosities. On the outside of the city, a similar event occurred, and planes shot from beneath the ground and began filling the air once more.
All around Ba Sing Se, The Conspiracy was showing its hand, it's forces weren't defeated, they hadn't even been shown yet. Rey grew afraid for the first time in a long time.
"You see Avatar," came the voice again, "I've already won!"

At West Hall, the rest of the season is dedicated to playing a 'Spartan 50.'
That catch phrase is an extension of playing all 48 minutes as hard as possible, which in Region 7-AAA begins with a home game against Banks County (0-3) at Spartan Field in Oakwood. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday night.
However, the deeper and more unifying meaning is to rally around Spartans (2-1) lineman Tavezz Thurmond, who wears jersey No. 50, after he experienced a serious spinal cord injury that has not limited his mobility but is putting his chances of ever playing football again in serious doubt.
The injury manifested Sept. 1 while doing routine close-contact linemen drills in practice, only days after recording a team-high six tackles for West Hall in the season-opening win against Johnson.
After going to the ground after a play ended and complaining of intense pain, Spartans coach Tony Lotti decided to err on the side of caution and called for emergency personnel to respond.
"When it happened, he was having bad pain in the middle of his back," Lotti said.
After spending the next few hours at Northeast Georgia Medical Center undergoing a battery of tests under the watchful eyes of medical professionals, Thurmond learned he may never play football again due to a condition that may be traced back to birth.
Even though he's not playing now, Thurmond is still a part of the program. He's right there on the sideline on Friday night, even calling the coin toss correctly for West Hall at midfield each of the past two games.
Lotti promises Thurmond will be right there for the coin flip in the region opener against the Leopards, who have struggled through the non-region portion of their schedule.
"This has brought our team closer, for sure," said West Hall senior tight end Hunter Atkinson, a preseason Elite 11 selection. "We're going to give it all we got every week."
West Hall quarterback Zach English is not going to be lulled into looking past Banks County. He said the Spartans learned their lesson last season when they suffered a 31-8 loss in Oakwood to Fannin County, which ended up being the Rebels' only win of the season.
"We're going to go out and play every team like they're the best around," said Atkinson, who has 14 receptions and four touchdowns this season.
The Spartans (715 rushing yards, 6.8 yards per carry) have been tough to stop on the ground, which is one of the big reasons for the fast start to the season. According to English, in West Hall's two wins the Spartans ran for more than 200 yards, while in the loss to Chestatee they were held under that mark.
"This year, we've gone with more of a pulling guard style on the line to match our speed, which helps us open up the passing game," Atkinson said.
In the long run, Lotti knows running the ball well will be necessary to go toe to toe with other hard-nosed, run-first offenses like Buford, North Hall, Dawson County and White County in Region 7-AAA.
"The teams we'll play in region run it, and run it very well," Lotti said. "For us, all of our goals and dreams are still out there for us to achieve, and it's up to us whether we achieve them or not."
In West Hall's last game, Kwon Williams ran for 202 yards in a win against Lumpkin County, while Tyquan Statham added 113 yards on four carries. English has completed 22 of 37 throws this year for 316 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions.
For Banks County, it's been a slow start with losses in non-region play against East Jackson, Athens Christian and Commerce.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – The revelation last fall that Chuck Pagano had leukemia was unsettling to say the least for the Indianapolis Colts. Fortunately, they had Bruce Arians to help turn a potentially chaotic situation into a winning one.
Arians' ability to keep the Colts focused in an emotionally trying time netted all sorts of positive results. The team made the playoffs. Pagano got better. Arians earned Coach of the Year honors and the big break he'd been seeking for decades.
Arians wouldn't be where he is today – coaching the Arizona Cardinals – if he weren't true to himself. What helped him the most during the demanding stretch that changed his life was that Arians didn't change.
"I think that's what guys respected the most," said cornerback Jerraud Powers, who followed Arians from Indianapolis to Arizona. "He didn't try to act different because he had a higher position of power. He made sure he kept the locker room strong and made sure we still had our goals in front of us. Guys went out there and had a reason to play and had kind of a magical season.
"Because we were such a young team, it could have easily gone in a million directions. He made sure everybody stayed focused on the task at hand."
When he got the Cardinals job – his first full-time NFL head-coaching position after almost 25 years in the league – Arians vowed to do it his way. He would be aggressive. He would be a little unorthodox. And the man they call B.A. wouldn't B.S. anyone.
"I'm too old to change," Arians, 60, said in a corridor outside the Cardinals' locker room at University of Phoenix Stadium. "I'm hard-headed. The guys who have been around me, who are here now, coaches and players, I'm hoping they don't think I've changed. I've hollered and screamed since I started coaching and hugged every guy in the locker room afterwards."
Powers provides confirmation: "He's the same guy." So does Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin, who worked with Arians in Pittsburgh and Indy.
"He is who he is," Goodwin said. "And he's going to stay that way."
Who is Bruce Arians?
He's someone who doesn't waste time. If you were starting your dream job at age 60, you wouldn't either.
The Cardinals do not stretch as a team at the start or end of practice. It's up to each player to get himself ready so the squad can maximize every second it has together on the field.
"With our time limits now … 10 minutes is a lot of time," Arians said. "That's a lot of teaching time to be wasting stretching."
Arians borrowed that nontraditional tradition from Pagano. The Cardinals universally approve.
"You show up on the practice field, you're either ready to go or you're not," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "We have plenty of time to get warmed up. So once we're on the field, it's go time. I like that mentality."
Who is Bruce Arians?
He's someone who has faith in his players.
Arians isn't just paying lip service to the idea of using Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson on offense. Arians has devised an entire package of plays for Peterson, who has excelled as a receiver during Cardinals camp.
The fact that he's unafraid to try something others might consider risky says as much about Arians as it does Peterson.
"It says he believes in me," Peterson said. "It's telling me he's going to let his athletes play football."
Who is Bruce Arians?
He's someone who's willing to let his staff have a life.
Arians doesn't believe his coaches should be sleeping on couches in their offices, as many are wont to do in the uber-competitive NFL. If you're efficient, Arians reasons, you'll have more time for the truly important things.
"Too many coaches over the years have lost their children and lost their families over this job that's not that hard," said Arians, who has two adult children. "If you're up at 2 in the morning, either you don't know what you're doing or you're searching for something."
Of course, if the Cardinals don't win, critics will ridicule Arians' methods. The former college quarterback is willing to take a hit to make a statement.
Arians became a fall guy in Pittsburgh, briefly retiring when the Steelers declined to renew his contract as offensive coordinator after the 2011 season. Goodwin, also part of that staff, described the situation as "weird." But if you believe everything happens for a reason, it becomes weird in a good way.
If Pittsburgh hadn't let him go, Arians wouldn't have landed in Indianapolis. If Pagano hadn't gotten sick, Arians wouldn't have gotten this chance.
"There's no doubt," Arians said. "Even if we'd have had the same record, I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten an interview to be a head coach. It hadn't happened when I'd been to two Super Bowls, (so) I don't think it would have happened coaching a bunch of young guys. In that regard, I'm very fortunate."
Arians isn't football's version of Andy Enfield, who parlayed two hot weeks into the USC basketball job. Arians put in the time. He just didn't get recognized for it until, as he put it, he got to "practice-coach" for 12 weeks in Indianapolis.
Arians guided the retooled, post-Peyton Manning Colts to a 9-3 record. They were bad enough the year before to have the No. 1 pick in the draft. Arians entrusted the team – and, it turns out, his future – to that No. 1 pick, quarterback Andrew Luck. Arians didn't play it safe then, and he isn't about to now.

Numéro zéro, 1971/2003
Composed as an uninterrupted conversation with Jean Eustache's sprightly, talkative, nearly blind, septuagenarian maternal grandmother, Odette Robert, Numéro Zéro prefigures the studies in narrative construction of Une Sale histoire in its illustration of performance and interpenetrating film reality. Inspired by their conversation during an afternoon stroll, the film reflects Eustache's assumed role as archivist, creating a two camera composite, unedited recording of Odette's memories of village life. Told with self-effacing humor and bracing candor, Odette weaves organically through the extraordinary density of her seemingly "ordinary" human experience, from the trauma of her mother's death from tuberculosis when she was seven years old, to her strained relationship with her demanding stepmother, Marie, to the austerity of life during the war, to her turbulent marriage to a skirt-chasing war veteran, to the deaths of her three young sons from childhood illnesses, to the care of her elderly, terminally ill father and stepmother during their final days, and lastly, to her arrival in Paris (at Eustache's invitation) to help take care of her great-grandson son, Boris. As in the Le Cochon and La Rosière de Pessac, Eustache captures, not only an overlooked, rapidly disappearing way of life, but also the continuity of a collective history itself, a passing between generations that is implied in the film's silent preface showing Boris accompanying Odette to a corner shop, before briefly walking away on another errand (similarly, in La Rosière de Pessac, the oldest living Rosière symbolically passes the torch to the next generation). Moreover, in maintaining the footage of clapperboard marks - often, interrupting Odette in mid thought to signal the necessity of a reel change - Eustache also creates a sense of intersecting reality, briefly disengaging Odette (and the spectator) from the reality of her vivid memories towards the parallel reality of her role as storyteller in Eustache's latest film (an awareness of the artifice of film construction that is further reinforced in a Dutch television representative's coincidental call to Eustache inquiring about purchasing rights to Santa Claus Has Blue Eyes). It is in this dual role as personal testament and performer that Numéro Zéro also becomes a metaphor for coming full circle, where life and film are integrally connected to the evolutionary cycle of chronicling complex, human history.

It's null because you are not passing back a model with the path to your file, you are just rendering the View using View(). Ideally you want a strongly typed model with a property to the file.
However you can also use the ViewBag to send data to the view with the filename. For example:
In your controller
[HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase file) { string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images"), System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.FileName)); file.SaveAs(path); ViewBag.Message = "File uploaded successfully"; ViewBag.FileName= file.FileName; return View(); }
In your view

Do you pass back a Model? A path to image into the Model?
Did you tried my code without making any changes to the action?!

Generic Name: valsartan (val-SAR-tan)
Brand Name: Diovan
Diovan may cause injury or death to the fetus if used during pregnancy. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. If you are planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor about other treatment options.
Diovan is used for:
Treating high blood pressure alone or with other medicines. It is used to treat heart failure. It is used in certain patients to decrease the risk of death after a heart attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Diovan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. It works by relaxing the blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure.
Do NOT use Diovan if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Diovan
- you are pregnant
- the patient is a child who has severe kidney problems or is on dialysis
- you are taking a medicine that contains aliskiren and you also have diabetes or kidney problems. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if a medicine you take contains aliskiren
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Diovan:
Some medical conditions may interact with Diovan. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are able to become pregnant
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of angioedema (eg, swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; hoarseness), including angioedema caused by treatment with another angiotensin II receptor blocker (eg, losartan) or an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (eg, lisinopril)
- if you have a history of heart problems (eg, heart failure), blood vessel problems, blood flow problems, liver or kidney problems, diabetes, or gallbladder problems
- if you have a history of stroke or recent heart attack
- if you are dehydrated or have low blood volume
- if you have electrolyte problems (eg, high blood potassium levels, low blood sodium levels) or are on a low-salt (sodium) diet
- if you are on dialysis
- if you take another medicine for blood pressure or heart problems
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Diovan. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because the risk of low blood pressure may be increased
- Potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene) or potassium supplements because the risk of high blood potassium levels may be increased
- ACE inhibitors (eg, lisinopril) or aliskiren because the risk of certain side effects (eg, kidney problems, high blood potassium levels, low blood pressure) may be increased
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib) because they may decrease Diovans effectiveness, and the risk of serious kidney problems may be increased
- Cyclosporine, rifamycins (eg, rifampin), or ritonavir because they may increase the risk of Diovan's side effects
- Lithium because the risk of its side effects may be increased by Diovan
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Diovan may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Diovan:

- Dehydration, excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Contact your health care provider at once if any of these occur.
- Check with your doctor before you use a salt substitute or a product that has potassium in it.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Diovan before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

- If you have high blood pressure, do not use nonprescription products that contain stimulants. These products may include diet pills or cold medicines. Contact your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
- Lab tests, including blood pressure, blood electrolyte levels, heart function, and kidney function, may be performed while you use Diovan. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

Stick a tiara on Hilary Duff, America's closest celebrity relative to Queen Elizabeth II, according to a genealogical study.
In fact, millions of Americans of English descent can claim a distant - very, very distant - relationship to the queen, but Duff, a Disney princess best known for playing Lizzie McGuire, tops a list of 20 Yank stars who are umpteenth cousins many times removed, according to the study released today by genealogy website findmypast.com.
Also among the top 20 are Brooke Shields, Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Douglas, Ellen DeGeneres, Beyonce, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Alec Baldwin.
Duff recently gave birth to her first child, has just signed up to return to TV with a new half-hour comedy series, and now can claim to be the "most royal" of American celebs.
According to Josh Taylor, a genealogist who helped document the connections for findmypast.com, Duff is the queen's 18th cousin. Both trace their ancestry back to Edward III, a king with many children, who died in 1377. The rest on the list share descent with the queen from either English or French kings.
Some historians believe that most modern Brits descend from Edward III, which would in turn mean that many Americans of English descent also share a distant kinship with him and with the queen. The website has produced a new Facebook app, "Are You Related to the Queen?", so people can explore their roots.

New York -- Walmart plans to expand its online price comparison tool, Savings Catcher, that compares prices on select products with those of some of its competitors to cities nationwide over the next few months, the Associated Press said. The retailer is also adding more products to the tool, which will now be available on Walmart's mobile app.
The retailer debuted the online feature in seven markets in March. If the customer using the tool finds a lower price elsewhere, the chain will refund the difference to shoppers in the form of an online Walmart gift card.
"This is what Wal-Mart should be doing — throwing down the gauntlet once and for all that they will not be beat on price." said Cameron Smith, who heads up a leading recruiting firm called Cameron Smith & Associates that hires executives for suppliers of Wal-Mart, in the AP report.

A Centerville therapist was charged Monday with allegedly having sex with a teenage client.
Scott Andrew Peterson, 36, of Bountiful, was charged in 2nd District Court with forcible sodomy, three counts of forcible sexual abuse and one count of lewdness. His first charge is a first-degree felony, for which he could serve up to life in prison if convicted.
Peterson, a licensed clinical social worker, owned Therapy on the Fly in Centerville before it closed in August, police said. Police said the teenage girl was receiving therapy from Peterson, and their "sexual relations" occurred at the Main Street business.
The encounters occurred between March and August, according to the charges.
Police said the girl confided in her bishop about the alleged abuse, and the legal department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints notified police.
Centerville police arrested Peterson on Thursday. He admitted to the sexual contact, which had occurred at least "a dozen times," the charges add.
He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Wednesday.
Peterson has no criminal record in Utah other than a traffic citation in 1994, , according to a search of court records.

Washington (AFP) Feb 16, 2010
The US pointman on climate change on Tuesday accused vested interests of exploiting scientific scandals and pledged to act even if China and India balk at the controversial Copenhagen accord.
Todd Stern, the US special envoy on climate issues, downplayed recent revelations about a landmark 2007 study by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that warned of dire consequences from global warming.
"What you do see sometimes is that people who have an agenda that is directed toward undermining action on climate change grab whatever tidbit they can find," Stern told reporters.
"What should not happen is that any individual mistakes, typos, whatever they might be, be taken to undermine the very fundamental record that exists from scientists all over the world and from observed data from all over the world that this is a quite serious and growing problem," he said.
The IPCC, which shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former US vice president Al Gore, admitted in January it could not substantiate one assertion from its 2007 report -- that global warming could melt Himalayan glaciers by 2035.
Leaked emails from scientists also appeared to show attempts to hide doubts about some of the research.
Stern is leading the US side in negotiations to draft a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, whose obligations for wealthy nations to cut carbon emissions blamed for global warming run out at the end of 2012.
President Barack Obama sharply changed US policy when he took over in January 2009 by supporting action by the world's largest economy on climate change.
But many lawmakers from former president George W. Bush's Republican Party oppose a US proposal to force emissions cuts, arguing it will cost jobs and disputing Obama's assertions it will help start a new green economy.
Bush said that the Kyoto Protocol was unfair to the United States by making no demands of fast-growing economies such as China, whose emissions are rising even if wealthy nations are responsible for past climate change.
A 194-nation UN-led summit in Copenhagen in December pledged to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) along with billions of dollars in financing. It gave countries until January 31 to sign on.
China and India submitted documents showing their actions against climate change but said they were voluntary and did not explicitly endorse the Copenhagen agreement.
Stern said that the United States stood by its commitment to the Copenhagen accord and would not pull out even if China and India do not sign on to it.
"I don't think it's a question of the US saying 'nevermind,'" Stern said. "That's not the plan."
But Stern voiced confidence that the Asian powers would fully endorse the agreement.
"China and India have conveyed something which is not entirely clear. I think that'll get clarified, though... my guess over the course of the next few days," he said.
The Copenhagen accord has come under fire from all sides, with environmentalists charging that it is toothless.
Obama, who joined other leaders in personally negotiating the deal, has himself said that the agreement did not go far enough but stressed it was preferable to a collapse of talks.

A band of hackers by the collective name of LulzSec brought the CIA's website down for the count Wednesday, and while they were at it the technogeeks broke into the Senate's site.
If LulzSec's distinctive name rings a bell, that may be because it's the hacktivist outfit that let PBS know its critique of a show about WikiLeaks last month.
"Political Hotsheet" on CBS News:
Meanwhile, the CIA website was taken down Wednesday afternoon. The hacktivist group LulzSec group claimed credit.
"Tango Down—cia.gov—for the lulz," it wrote on Twitter.
Deputy Senate Sergeant at Arms Martina Bradford said the hackers' attempts to penetrate the Senate network failed. They were able to download some information from the public site, she said, but could not access sensitive data because they were blocked by a firewall.
