Obama is currently at the climate change summit in Paris, and at a news conference today, he revealed his latest terrifying plan to "fight climate change."
According to CNS News, Obama claimed that the "most elegant way" to reduce carbon emissions is "to put a price on it." This effectively means that Obama is planning to tax Americans in an attempt to force them to take climate change seriously.
"I wonder if you see any political path back home toward putting a price on carbon?" an incredulous reporter then asked the president.
"I have long believed that the most elegant way to drive innovation and to reduce carbon emissions is to put a price on it. This is a classic market failure," Obama replied.
Here's what Obama went on to say in a pathetic attempt to explain himself:
"In this case, the carbons that are being sent up that, ah — originally we didn't have the science to fully understand, we do now. And if that's the case, if you put a price on it, then the entire market would respond.
"And the best investments and the smartest technologies will begin scrubbing, effectively, our entire economy.
"But it's difficult, and so I think that, as the science around climate change is more accepted, as people start realizing that even today, you can put a price on the damage that climate change is doing.
"You go down to Miami, and when it's flooding at high tide on a sunny day and fish are swimming through the middle of the streets, you know, there's a cost to that. And insurance companies are beginning to realize that in terms of how they price risk.
"And the more the market on its own starts putting a price on it, because of risk — it may be that the politics around setting up a cap and trade system, for example, shifts as well."
It's sickening that Obama continues to push climate change when we have REAL problems to deal with, like ISIS and terrorism. Share this story if you REFUSE to endorse Obama's climate change tax!

I wish I could have stayed longer than ten hours but this place was amazing. It's a notch above other places with cleanliness and space. This is an elite BnBArik2015-11-16T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay and we really felt welcome and connected to a beautiful family. Heidi and Savannah's place was clean and comfortable. Thank you for giving us a home away from home.Pat2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Heidi's place was just what we needed after a long day of driving. She was very welcoming and the space was great. Enjoyed having the entire downstairs to ourselves. Loved the amenities such as breakfast and toiletries. Thanks!Brea2014-11-09T00:00:00Z
I had an all-star stay at Savannah and Heidi's in Rapid City. Located north of downtown on the other side of I-90, their home is in a quiet neighborhood that is well located for visiting the city or heading off to other destinations. The suite in the basement was immaculate, cool in the heat and featured a very comfortable bed. Lots of little treats too, and privacy if I chose that. However, I spent a fair amount of time chatting with Savannah, who is a great tour guide and good companion too. Got to know the dogs as well. I would definitely stay there again!Dan2015-06-30T00:00:00Z
Heidi really is the 'Hostess with the Mostess'. She was absolutely brilliant .she pick me up from the airport even though I missed my first flight and the one I ended up catching didn't get until 10.30pm. She was a total gem!Sheree2015-05-19T00:00:00Z
Heidi is an excellent host! She contacted us right away and kept in touch during our travel. She was very nice and helpful, giving us tips about where to go in Rapid City on our short trip. The basement is very homey. She had snacks/small breakfast food available, which was very thoughtful. She also had maps and visitor information for the surrounding area. Highly recommend staying with Heidi if you are traveling through or visiting Rapid City!Cory2015-02-04T00:00:00Z
My friends and I were greeted by Heidi upon arriving to her home. The neighborhood was very nice and Heidi made directions very clear on how to find her place. The description was accurate for the basement. The amenities were exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Heidi was down to earth and I would recommend staying at her place to anyone.Jake2015-08-08T00:00:00Z

Laura was a delightful host! The cabin was so cozy and clean-it seemed brand new!! The location was great, the views were beautiful, and I would definitely go back.Anna2015-10-24T00:00:00Z
Had a great weekend hunting in the Black Hills and staying at Laura's beautiful ranch. The room was perfect, with a bed and a fold out couch, clean and ready when we arrived. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to get away from it all and relax for a few days in a gorgeous ranch setting in the beautiful Black Hills.Bob2016-04-10T00:00:00Z
The Ghost Canyon ranch B&B was just what the vacation doctor ordered. We were away from the crowds and able to relax in a quiet, welcoming environment. The room was just as advertised. We had enough space for the three of us to be comfortable. It was clean and included everything we would need. Our daily breakfasts were just enough and the company and ambiance was great. The hosts were very helpful and open. My son enjoyed being able to help with horses, even though we were not officially part of the dude ranch. He even got to help wash down the horses. The information on the advertisement is just what is offered. I can't say enough positive about the atmosphere and the welcoming nature of our hosts. We want to sing their praises, but hope we can keep this place as a semi-secret getaway spot.Liz2015-07-30T00:00:00Z
We loved staying here. Our two kids (12 & 14) really enjoyed the home like atmosphere and loved all the animals. They thought they would miss having a pool, but they did not. We did the b & b option. Breakfast was wonderful and filled us up every morning. The family had great recommendations for ehat to see and do.Jessa2016-07-30T00:00:00Z
We had a great time and would go back for sure. Laura and Bryan were great hosts, the cabin was clean, meals were good and convenient, and the atmosphere and scenery were wonderful. Ranch is pretty close to anything we wanted to do tourist-wise, and we made several trips up the nearby trail (USFS 361). All in all it was a fantastic weekend. I hope we make it back soon.Kevin2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
Everything was perfect! Laura and Trevor were very welcoming, the bunkhouse was comfortable, and the location was amazing. We enjoyed breakfast each morning and getting to know the other guests. If we are ever back in this area, we will definitely be staying here. Oh and they are pet friendly which made bringing our dog along on vacation simple.Kayla2016-10-12T00:00:00Z
Super friendly, knowledgeable about the area, made sure we were comfortable. It was great to come back at night to the hot tub and fire pit. 10/10 would recommend for anyone not wanting to stay in a hotel.Stefanie2017-03-24T00:00:00Z
Laura and Trevor made our stay so fun and relaxing! They started our day with a beautiful breakfast and got us on our way to enjoy the plans we had on our trip. The horseback trail was charming and the horses were beautiful! Laura and Trevor made our visit special. We will be back next year! ~ Paula and Todd FlomTodd2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

The bungalow was comfortable, beautiful, and inspiring. It provided a wonderful, calm environment for morning coffee and top-notch stargazing at night. Soren was also very patient with us as we changed our plans, and provided all the amenities needed to make our stay enjoyable. A memorable part of our trip to the black hills!Julie2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Jamin and Jessica were wonderful. They were both there to greet us, asked us if we needed anything and were very nice. Their place is so comfortable and close to everything. We loved their decorating - such artistic talent. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.Darlis2016-05-27T00:00:00Z
This was a very comfortable place to stay. It had everything I needed for the night. Thanks Jamin and Jessica!Katy2016-04-23T00:00:00Z
Very clean and comfortable! Seriously. Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. And the pups were incredibly sweet!Rachael2016-10-07T00:00:00Z
Jamin and Jess were very communicative and the home was very cozy! When we arrived they were making a gingerbread house so the house smelled of sweet baking! What a nice surprise. Jamin even made us breakfast in the morning and we all had a really nice conversation before we left to continue on our wintery road trip. Thanks for being such hospitable hosts!Mika2014-12-21T00:00:00Z
Jamin and Jessica were incredibly friendly and helpful during our 2 day stay. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large and had a great shower. Jamin prepared breakfast for us on both days and it rates as one of the best we have had at an bnb. Their 2 dogs were a great addition. Their house is well located to downtown and parking is easy. The room is located in the basement of their house which is going through extensive rennovation so it looks like a work in progress. There are windows in the room allowing in some light and they provide a sofa, but it is not an inviting space to linger. Rather a good choice if you plan to be out and about as we were and want a room mainly for sleep. Once all the remodeling is complete the space is likely to feel much more inviting.James2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

This little cottage is a great place to stay right in the middle of the Black Hills. Close to Rapid city, Deadwood and Hill City. There is plenty of wildlife to see right out the front window. Tina is a great host very friendly and welcoming. I would absolutely come back again.John2017-05-12T00:00:00Z
Our stay with Tina was amazing! Tina's tiny house provided us with a true Black Hills experience. We were close to all the major sites/activities. Tina gave us a few suggested activities and they were awesome! She very kindly provided us with fresh eggs, orange juice, fruit, muffins, and coffee. We will stay with her again next time we are in the area.Courtney2017-05-19T00:00:00Z
I agree with all the positive reviews that Tina's tiny home in the Black Hills has received previously. Tina as a hostess is perfect! She's very responsive to messages and very accommodating. I truly felt cared for during my stay. Such a relaxing visit! I will definitely return.Diana2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
This place is awesome! Cute little tiny house, nice and warm, our small boys loved the loft and our hosts were amazing! Really enjoyed their tour of the property, their recommendations of town, and just enjoyed their company in general. Already planning our next stay!Ann2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
Tina and Troy's place is great! It was better than we expected. The location is absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect spot to just get away from the city and enjoy amazing views of the mountains. There are some great hiking trails nearby as well. The cabin provided more than enough space for the two of us and our dog. Tina was such a wonderful host; she even gave us homemade applesauce and peach butter! I would recommend arriving during the day because it may be a little difficult getting around at night.Jackie2016-10-19T00:00:00Z
Tina and her husband were incredible hosts. They even left me with a few jars of canned fruit spreads Tina made! And their BIG fluffy dog is great to take on hikes down to the creek to fish, up the mountain to pitch your hammock between the trees, or just to chase after the chickens and chipmunk arouns the cabin. This was the perfect respite from Chicago that I needed.Xavier2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
Loved this place. Quiet and peaceful. Its a tiny house on the owners' property but still feels very private. Hiking with spectacular views directly behind the property. Owners were very accomodating. Moreso than expected. Would definitely consider staying here again!Todd2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

This was a great first AirBnB experience, the place was as described, and the communication and flexibility of the host were stellar. We never saw Misty as we arrived much later than expected around 10:30p, but the light was on and the place warm and welcoming. Be sure to follow the detailed directions Misty will provide, don't follow (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps or Waze as they will lead you astray. Also, if arriving late watch for wildlife, we were surprised by deer in at 4 places on the lengthy driveway.Kaleb2016-08-25T00:00:00Z

We were very impressed with Misty's Airbnb- super cute, immaculately clean, very comfortable bed, and wonderful little addatives like kinetic coffee and plenty of DVDs to choose from if you feel like watching a movie on the tv. Definitely would recommend this place :) Thanks for the great stay!Melissa + Luke2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Chris's nice house on a road trip to Seattle, Washington. We were very impressed with the nice neighborhood and the beautiful view from the deck. The neighborhood was a great place to go on my morning run and we especially appreciated the bottle of wine and the orange juice in the fridge for breakfast. This is one of the cleanest houses I remember staying in on AirB&B. Chris was very prompt with his communication and took the lead providing us with access to information. If you're looking for a nice, scenic, quiet place to stay this is definitely the place.Keith2015-06-24T00:00:00Z
First time renting a house and it turned out to be a perfect fit our family. This is a great place to stay. Quiet, roomy and clean. Thank you Chris!Aimee2015-06-18T00:00:00Z

Chris and accomodations were top notch. Would stay again 100%. Will tell friends also! Chris was instantly communicating with me when I asked questions as this was my first AirBNB experience. He provided information I would want to know before I even had a chance to think about it and ask it. The house itself was a great place to stay and met and exceeded all of our needs. 100% better than a hotel could have been for my wife, 2 young children and I. My wife's parents joined us one night and they were also very impressed with the house and location in the city - it was close enough to grocery stores and places to eat, yet not on a super busy street so there were no noise issues ever. All in all, I'm not sure I could ask for a better place to stay when travelling to Sioux Falls. We will be back!Josh2014-09-21T00:00:00Z
Chris was the perfect host. We had a great time relaxing in his comfortable, welcoming home away from home. Chris was kind and easy to communicate with. We would certainly recommend his home to anyone traveling in Sioux Falls area.Julia2015-06-14T00:00:00Z
Chris was an excellent host. The house was even better than described. He was very accommodating with our schedule changes. After checking in the first night, I went to my daughter's to help with new flooring. I returned to the house after 2AM and the outside lights were-what a welcome sight!

Close your eyes and imagine a tiny corner of South Dakota's Black Hills where you find yourself surrounded by nature's unspoiled beauty. The cabin at Green Mountain is a charming, comfortable homestead which offers a front row seat to the surrounding wildlife and easy access to the nearby national parks, monuments, Rapid City, and more. Mark and Mary are gracious landlords, and we lacked for nothing. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this property to others. We cannot wait to return, ourselves! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and an amazing experience!Amy2014-10-21T00:00:00Z
The cabin is great and very cozy. Making arrangements with the hosts was very easy.Heather2015-10-15T00:00:00Z
On a whim, my husband and I decided to go on a weekend trip to South Dakota in search of the "Pole of Inaccessibility," i.e., the place where one is as far from an ocean on a continent as one can be. It happened to be very near the beautiful Black Hills. It was a remarkable stroke of luck to have found Mary and Mark's Cabin at Green Mountain. Our stay was too short. We could have spent a week at this beautiful cabin. Mary stopped by to greet us when we arrived and had even left us a clipping from the Rapid City Journal about a family that went on similar "inaccessibility" missions... a wonderful and apropos welcome! The cabin itself is wonderfully appointed and decorated with art we recognized from Mark and Mary's website. While we were only two, it could easily accommodate quite a few more. We hope very much to return to this idyllic location and, next time, bring along a couple of other family members to enjoy this fantastic location. Our stay was, in short, outstanding!Rory2014-10-14T00:00:00Z

This is without a doubt the coziest cabin we've ever stayed in! Mary and her lovely dog Donner came to check in on us upon arrival, and both she and her husband were extremely warm and accommodating to us. The views were stunning, and they always left the lights on for us when we got back in the evenings. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend in the hills!Nuwan2014-11-04T00:00:00Z
Spent a great week here with both my parents and my parents-in-law. The setting is spectacular, peaceful, and endlessly interesting. Where else can you have a private valley meadow at your doorstep and all to yourself? Much evidence that this property is well loved & maintained. We enjoyed meeting & photographing the horses (and birds and deer), touring Mary & Mark's amazing studio/gallery, being surrounded by their beautiful artwork, and having sweet Donner as our own concierge dog and hike escort. The cabin is very cozy and modern. The renovation felt brand new but retains the flavor of a simple vintage cabin. Morning coffee on that porch every day, with the sunrise warming us from over the mountaintop, was one of the highlights of our vacation. We had plenty of room for group dining, and felt very comfortable and well taken care of the entire week by these wonderful hosts.David2014-06-15T00:00:00Z

Ryan was great! We loved this place so much we wanted to stayJennifer2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
This place was beautiful, not just the scenery outside, but inside what also exactly what we expected through the photos! It's very spacious and clean. There's a lot of space and the bathroom was amazing! My friends and myself were a little surprised with the temperature, granted it is the lower level of a house which of course can get colder. However we didn't have the option to use more heat other than one space heater. It just doesn't seem ideal for those guests who want to sleep on the pull out couch. Another thing was that the water temperature dropped after one shower in the morning. Besides those two issues, the house was really amazing. There's coffee and snacked available, and we messaged the host to let him know we'd be late so he left a light on. Very nice people and very good place!Alixandra2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Great view and spacious downstairs of the house all to ourself. We showed up late and left early, so didn't get to meet Angelena in person. But, we messaged Angelena before and during our trip and she gave us a ton of excellent recommendations for food and activities! Definitely take her advice - the Firehouse Brewing Company (evening drinks/end of day relaxing) and Tally's Silver Spoon (breakfast) were excellent recommendations that we absolutely loved!Austin2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved staying with Angie and family. From the first we were made to feel welcome. The accommodations were lovely and clean. The location worked well with our plans to go both to deadwood and Custer state park. The neighborhood is upscale and the property backs up to open space so there is privacy in the backyard with lovely views. The value was excellent as we paid for a spacious downstairs of the house with two bedrooms the same as we would have for a hotel room. We also enjoyed the hot tub under the stars.

Donna is a lovely women, kind, friendly and helpfull. Clean room, good bathroom and big living room.Esther2015-07-31T00:00:00Z
Donna was awesome, very accommodating and easy to communicate with. This was my first Airbnb stay and I would definitely do it again based on my experience with Donna. The space is very nice and easy driving distance to Rapid City restaurants and Mt. Rushmore. Would recommend this to anyone passing through the area, great alternative to a hotel. Overall, a great place to set up camp for the night!Cameron2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
Great place and great host! Really helped us a lot and made us like home! Highly recommended!Ying-Chi2016-12-13T00:00:00Z
The room is in the basement, and was very nice and had its own bathroom. There is a little fridge and microwave in the room, and Donna left some snacks and drinks for us (you don't have access to the upstairs kitchen). We had the basement space to ourselves, which was nice.Christie 2015-05-28T00:00:00Z
Donna's spot is legit! Very clean and private feeling, good communication made checking in and arriving super easy.Austin2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
Our stay with Donna was great. Entire basement to ourselves with a big comfy couch, fireplace, and big screen TV, along with a bedroom and bathroom. Everything was clean, amenities were supplied, and Wi-Fi was easy to access. Especially appreciated the microwave, refrigerator, and fan in the bedroom. Highly recommend.Jarren2016-11-20T00:00:00Z
Donna's lodgings are both comfortable and spotlessly clean. She is a wonderful host, would highly recommend staying here!Sophia2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

What an wonderful experience! We stayed at the cabin for 3 days... I hope have been more days. It is definitely a great place to stay when visiting the Black Hills, John is a great host and you give us very good information about the area and the best routes to take. The cabin is cozy and beautiful... It is just like the pictures! Very peaceful, great views, the horses and everything else makes it the best place to stay. I hope to come back to the area soon and definitely I will stay at John's Horse ranch again!!!!Andrea2015-09-10T00:00:00Z
My fiance and I stayed with John in the Back Hills one night while on a road trip from California to Minnesota. He has a beautiful home with lots of horses and the cabin is great! So much more character than a hotel. The cabin was one room with bathroom, shower, sink, a double bed, and bunkbeds. John had a lot of flyers in the cabin that were useful for deciding what additional things to do while we were there. We chose to visit Mt. Rushmore, go out to dinner in Rapid City, and take a trail ride with Ponderosa Trail Rides. John was incredibly nice and welcoming, we would definitely stay again!Dave2015-08-29T00:00:00Z
I can't imagine staying any place else. Right in the middle of everything to see in the Badlands/ Black Hills . John and Pat are excellent hosts and full of info. Was great to sit on their front porch one evening and just visit for a bit. Close to stores and restaurants and that having a cigar and a cocktail on the front porch of the bunk house will probably be one of my most cherished memories of my visit. Excellent place to stay.Rob2015-06-12T00:00:00Z
We stayed at John's bunkhouse the first night of our trip "out west" with our 2 teenage sons. What a great way to start our vacation! As we walked in the bunkhouse, both boys commented that they hoped that we could stay in as cool of a place for the rest of our vacation. The bunkhouse was very comfortable for our family of four, and there were so many wonderful touches that made us feel right at home. In addition, John offered suggestions that really gave us a chance to see more of Wyoming than we would have otherwise been able to do. A great host and wonderful accommodations--we are still talking about it. Thanks, John!Amanda2014-08-08T00:00:00Z
John is an exceptional host. Gracious n the quick communications before I arrived and when I arrived he was right there to welcome me and made me feel completely at home and I felt welcome to make myself very comfortable visiting all the horses on this amazing ranch. I only wish I could have stayed longer. For other travelers: this cabin is an ideal base for visiting Hot Springs and the Black Hills. Completely relaxing and unique while you're there and close to everything you want to see and do.,Courtney2016-05-22T00:00:00Z
We had a great time with John and his wife. The bunkhouse was very clean and cozy. Is was so peaceful sitting on the porch and listening to nature. John gave us great info on things to see and roads to take to get there. I would definitely like to come back!Nancy2016-06-05T00:00:00Z
This cabin was a wonderful place to stay! Close to Hot Springs and not far from all of the Black Hills attractions. We stayed for three nights and could not have been happier with our decision. The cabin was clean, easy to find, and John was prompt and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Highly recommend this listing!Kaitlyn2015-10-18T00:00:00Z
Clean, cozy, with attention to detail in the cabin's western motif. A comfortable slice of the American West in the cabin, ranch property, and the greater surrounding area. John and Pat seem like genuinely kind people who clearly take pride in their Airbnb as well as their town and surrounding area. They are the real deal. Only negative was we couldn't stay longer. Highly recommend to those traveling in the area.Jennifer2016-07-09T00:00:00Z

Awesome stay. I found John to be really down-to-earth with an amazing background in entrepreneurship.Rylan2016-08-17T00:00:00Z
John was right there to greet us and show us to our room. The room was just as described: spacious, clean, and comfortable. Beautiful home in a very nice neighborhood.Kathy 2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
One of the best Airbnb experiences so far. Kind and attentive, we've been suggested a nice place to eat, we found all needed for next morning breakfast, plenty of space in the room equipped no less with a walk in wardrobe. Book with confidence!!!Chiara 2016-08-12T00:00:00Z
Listing was great and as advertised! It was easy to communicate with John. We booked this stay via "Instant Book" just two days prior, which was very convenient for us. Place was easy to find via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps, although it did help to have John waiting outside for us to guide us onto his driveway. The room included a microwave, mini fridge, a container with instant oatmeal, and 2 mugs with instant coffee bags. It was nice having these amenities, as we did have yogurt to stick in the fridge, and we used one of the instant coffees (and the microwave to heat water). Bathroom was clean with towels provided. There was also shampoo. We had the opportunity to interact with John as well, who was fun to converse with. He even helped bring one of our bags downstairs, without us asking for help. Thanks for a great stay!Trudy2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at John's place. The room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our 4-night stay. It was located in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood not far from downtown (by car). John was very accommodating with anything we needed. Also- you get to park your car in the garage which is a huge plus in Rapid where there is frequently huge hailstorms (2 while we were here!). Would recommend.Megan2016-08-12T00:00:00Z
I felt very welcomed from arriving to leaving. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, privacy was above expectations--the accommodations were absolutely wonderful. This has to have been the most positive and comforting AirBnB experience so far! Thank you John for being an awesome host.Jolene2017-03-14T00:00:00Z
Very classy place. Good company and 6 of the biggest wild turkeys I've ever seen in the street out front.Jim2017-02-28T00:00:00Z
Fantastic home in a great neighbourhood. Couldn't be better. Clean, comfortable, very spacious, all amenities, and a most gracious and interesting host. I've stayed in many ABNB'S and John's is the best! I'll be back.Joe2017-04-24T00:00:00Z
My second time staying at "john's place" was as wonderful as the 1st time. I said it then and I'll say it again "feels like home."Tina2017-04-11T00:00:00Z
John's place was great! Beautiful home. The room was very clean. He was very good at communicating and got back to me quickly. Highly suggest!Hannah2017-05-24T00:00:00Z
I had a pleasant stay here. John was very accommodating. The room was very nice, rather large, and very clean. I thought the bathroom was particularly nice/"modern". The place worked out very well as base camp for day trips.Boris2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
John was a terrific host and kept in touch with me even as my arrival time was uncertain. The accommodations was fantastic. The room was large and bed really comfortable.

Loved Andrew's place. Very clean and nicely designed. Andrew was able to accommodate my boyfriend and I on a short notice.Diana & Alex2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
My husband and I stopped here going east. We have been doing Airbnb for more than a year now and have not been disappointed at all and Andrews place is a choice of recommendation. Great response, clean and a very beautiful home. We felt very comfortable in their home knowing that they were downstairs and we had the whole living area to ourselves. This is definitely a place that you feel you have to yourself!Linda 2017-03-03T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Lisa and Andrew's home was perfect! We were traveling through the area on our way home to Florida and needed a place to stay for one night. They were very accommodating, especially since our timing got off and we did not arrive until nearly 1 am. Their home was very cozy, beautifully decorated, and was comfortable for our family of 5. They are located in a nice neighborhood that felt very safe. They also provided a nice coffee bar as well as a few different breakfast items. A very nice touch and a great way to start our day! We highly recommend a stay at Lisa and Andrew's if you are traveling through Sioux Falls. You will enjoy it!Ken N2016-09-07T00:00:00Z
This bungalow is super cute with lots of charm! It has all kinds of amenities like wifi, Netflix, Hulu etc. and is super close to the downtown district! Would recommend Andrew's place! Great hosts!Tammy2017-03-13T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I are on a long drive from Charlotte to Seattle. After a long grueling day of driving Lori's home was the perfect place to rest up and feel at home while on our Great American Roadtrip. Lori had given us a code for the door so our late arrival was not an issue. The home had plenty of amenities in order for us to make a nice home cooked dinner and a big comfy couch to cosy up and watch a movie. We even had a chance to play basketball in the morning before the continuation of our long journey. I would highly recommend staying here.Meghan2016-10-25T00:00:00Z
Lori's Place was an amazing little get away! The apartment was SO comfy and cozy and Lori went above and beyond to provide for us! From snacks, to a fully stalked fridge, breakfast cereals, and everything you'd need to fully prepare a meal, it didn't disappoint! The apartment itself felt like your own little home, perfect for a family vacation, or just a place to crash on a work trip. I would highly reccomend Lori's place to anyone staying in the Sioux Falls area. It's beautiful, quiet, and private. We will for sure book again in the future!Alexis2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

Kate's Cottage at the Peterson Farm is an idyllic retreat -- it's extremely comfortable, quiet, and cozy. Gale has gone above and beyond to make the cottage a perfect place to get away and relax. In addition to the wonderful cottage, Gale herself is a fantastic host who will make sure your stay is exceptional. If you are looking for a comfortable and welcoming home away from home, Kate's Cottage is it.Ryan Edward2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Gale was a fantastic hosted. Cottage lovingly restored and decorated to create a relaxing respite. Breakfast delivered in wicker baskets was a great start to the day. Coffee while greeting the amazing sunrise lovely. Thank you so much. Gail and LarryGail2016-09-04T00:00:00Z
There were lovely hand-written notes to help us. There was a note on the door welcoming us. There was a light on in every room that made us feel so welcome.Natasha2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
What a cute place to stay! We so enjoyed the hospitality of our host and the property was beautiful. One of the highlights of my day was looking out the window and seeing all the chickens (chickens are my favorite). Gale was super nice and very helpful. I would definitely stay there again!McKinsey 2016-07-24T00:00:00Z
We had an incredible stay at Kate's cottage! Everything was just perfectly curated. Gale was easy to communicate with and responsive and give us a warm welcome. Her place is very remote so it was nice to know she was there to help! We really enjoyed the cottage, the farm and the animals. Recommended without hesitation.Linda2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Kate's cottage is a complete gem, and Gale is a phenomenal host! There was nothing better than this cozy, adorable home after hours on the road. Every thoughtful detail you can imagine from the first aid kit to snacks in the fridge was attended to. We slept great! The farm was beautiful the next day - so much so - we didn't want to leave (and we definitely want the recipe for Gale's incredible scones!) Thanks so much!!Haley2016-09-30T00:00:00Z
Only great things to say about this stay. The cottage was clean, cute and had everything we needed. There was an excessive amount of snack food and drinks available. Breakfast was brought over and dropped off the night before because we needed to eat at 3:30 - and we saved some of it for later (awesome apricot scones). Also loved the chickens and goats running around. Thanks for the stay!Dougin2016-06-13T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Kate's Cottage was just perfect. We arrived at sunset as the goats and chickens were settling for the night. Gale welcomed us warmly and told us she would bring breakfast to our doorstep in the morning on her way to work. The cottage is wonderful – and there is a small photo album that shows just how far renovating it has come. It was so nice to see it and to see family photos and understand her love for the land and property that is her family's farm. Freshly-baked scones (delicious) arrived as promised along with yogurt and granola. We left refreshed and ready for the road. We will definitely go back should we ever be in the area again.John2016-07-29T00:00:00Z

Linda greeted us upon our arrival and showed us to the space, which was spacious and beautiful! The view from the entrance of the property alone was wonderful. She was very friendly and gave us helpful suggestions for places to check out for dinner and the best way to get to Mt. Rushmore. The apartment has three well decorated bedrooms with comfortable beds. The bathroom is also very nice and had a great shower! We had a great time visiting and were happy to call this our traveling headquarters for one night. Definitely recommend this place!Alexander2015-08-28T00:00:00Z

Linda's place is very roomy and beautifully decorated with amazing views. Towels, sheets & blankets were very soft. We even had a sleep number bed! Linda had recommendations for restaurants. Both she & her husband were very warm & friendly. Short drive to Target, grocery stores & downtown. Linda has a dog but he is not allowed in the rental area. I had no problems with my allergies. Wonderful experience! There is nowhere better to stay in Rapid City!Caroline2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
This place is absolutely amazing, is clean, nice, well decorated and Linda was an excellent host. It is a little retired from the urban context which makes it a very peaceful place. We could see an spectacular sunrise in the morning and a breathtaking sky in the night full of stars. There you can find everything you need to have a very confortable stay. Loved their pets, cat and dog were very friendly and just came to greet us. A very good experience for all of us, just wished we could have stayed more time.Marianna2015-10-10T00:00:00Z

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
One of the most popular wedding themes is the black and white wedding. This is such a simple theme, and so elegant. To add to the drama, and participate more fully in the celebration, guests are often asked to wear black and white. If these are to be your wedding colors, the invitations you choose should serve to introduce the theme and state your request that everyone wear the appropriate colors. It goes without saying that you should choose stylish black wedding invitations, and you can browse through a wonderful selection of creative designs.
Your first thought might be that perhaps a black invitation would be too somber, too stiff and formal for the kind of wedding you have in mind. To dispel such a notion, take a look at the Romantic Floral design with beautiful white roses twining their way around the edge of a black card, and your names and wedding information in white. There is a lustrous look to this card because of what's called shimmer paper. However, if you lean toward a contemporary look, the Modish Marriage design might be more your style. The highlights here are the flowing script and stunning foil elements, and you can choose the font, the color and the wording.
You can make your black and white theme stand out using all sorts of great ideas. Table linens for your luncheon or dinner can consist of black linens with white overlays. The floral displays can simply be composed of white flowers in black vases. Many brides are even wearing white wedding gowns embellished with black lace for an almost Victorian look. When it comes to your black wedding invitations, be assured that each design comes complete with a suite of wedding papers from response cards and enclosures to save-the-dates, menus, place cards and more to help make your special wedding theme one that you and your guests will long remember.
"We ordered this based on the main design - which was something we have been looking for. We were able to adjust fonts and since my first name is short, the designer was able to adjust the format of the text to the right for a more "even" appearance. We also centered the info on the bottom. We ordered this in the pearl in standard matte and the paper quality is amazing. The color is like a lighter ivory. I would have ordered in shimmer paper to allow for the polka dots to have a glittery appearance but it wasn't in the budget. It was definitely exciting for our invites to arrive and see them in real life! Thanks WPD!"
"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."

Jamie Vardy wonder goal continues Leicester's stunning run
Jamie Vardy's wonder strike helped Leicester send out a title warning as they breezed past Liverpool 2-0.
The striker's brilliant brace maintained the Foxes' three-point lead over Manchester City - ahead of their top-of-the-table showdown on Saturday.
In front of the watching England boss Roy Hodgson the 29-year-old netted a stunning 25-yard effort before firing in from close range to continue his stellar campaign.
Vardy is in talks with City to extend his deal and reached 18 Barclays Premier League goals for the season to underline his importance to Claudio Ranieri and help prove outstanding Leicester's title credentials.
"We not getting carried away, but this was an important results," said Vardy.
"I spotted that their keeper was off his line for most of the game, so when it came to me I had to have a go. I don't think I've scored too many better goals than that."
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was less than enthused about his side's efforts against Leicester, as he was clearly fuming during his post match interviews.
"I'm not too fine with our game today. We could have played much better," stated Klopp.
"We had a few shots where we could pass and a few passes where we could shoot. We created half chances but not real chances.
"It was a world-class goal from Jamie Vardy. Today would have been a good day to show we are ready for this. I need a few more seconds to calm down. I have to watch it again."

GKO and OFZ are abbreviations for (Russian: Gosudarstvennoye Kratkosrochnoye Obyazatyelstvo, Государственное Краткосрочное Обязательство (ГКО) : "Government Short-Term Commitments") and (Russian: Obligatsyi Federal'novo Zaima, Облигации Федерального Займа : "Federal Loan Obligations"), respectively. They are government bonds issued by the state of Russia.
GKOs are short-term zero-coupon Russian Government Treasury Bills. OFZs are coupon-bearing Federal Loan Bonds. Both are issued by the Russian Finance Ministry and trade on the Moscow Inter Bank Currency Exchange (MICEX), as well as on five other currency exchanges connected with the MICEX and located in large regional cities. GKOs were introduced in May 1993 as non-inflationary instruments for financing the budget deficit. OFZs were introduced in June 1995 to complement the GKO market as an instrument with medium and long-term standing.
The initials became synonymous with the 1998 Russian financial crisis when the state defaulted on its "GKO obligations" (bonds). The GKO crisis, the most significant financial crisis in post-Soviet Russia,[citation needed] caused turmoil amongst both foreign and domestic investors and creditors. The crisis led to the abrupt devaluation of the Russian ruble in several steps in August and September 1998. (In fact, the ruble first fell about four times, then after some oscillations stopped at that level.) The crisis severely undermined confidence in the ruble's stability, although such dramatic drops did not happen again until 2014.
After 1998 a new series of state bonds was issued. On 1 November 2006, the volume of the GKO-OFZ market reached 850.7 billion rubles at face value, having exceeded by 17.9% the volume reached at the beginning of the year.[citation needed] The market volume is growing as a result of the implementation of the RF Finance Ministry's policy of substituting the external debt for the internal debt and developing a liquid internal government-securities market, which must give market participants effective instruments to manage liquidity and form benchmarks for risk-free ruble interest-rates for all economic entities.

Retired sportsmen do funny things. Some of them murder their ex-wives and their lovers and then attempt to write books about how they managed to get off scot free; others, having made their name pummeling the daylights out of opponents, launch awareness campaigns around health issues; some of them become bad stand-up comedians-cum-politicians and still get done in for manslaughter. But no great sporting heros post-career graph is more bizarre than that of Sunil Gavaskar, who, in the guise of a commentator, has developed a very weird public relationship with male upper-body garments.
Remember how SMG started wearing those kurtas during the last World Cup' Those ghastly embroidered tents almost the length of Sachin Tendulkar, i.e. stretching from just below SMGs neck to a small trail around his shoes' And remember why he did this' Well, apparently the TV channel he worked for demanded that Sunny wear formal suit and tie before the camera and the Bhaus response was, You want formal wear' Okay this is the formal wear of my country, which stance one could totally respect even while thinking that for a Marathi, a dhoti-kurta and one of those red Peshwa pugs would have been far more correct than the effete Lucknowi chikan tapestries. In any case, you could have been forgiven for thinking Ah, heres a true Indian standing up to the stiff-upper-neck and shirt-stuffed-in-trousers fascism of the gora. But this time, during the Jo burg test, SMG bowled a complete doosra.
At some point while Gavaskar was at the mike, the camera alighted on Munaf Patel husbanding Team Indias water-bottles just outside the boundary. Even as his flanking colleagues began to conjecture on Patels fitness, something caught Gavaskars eye and he went ballistic: Young Man! he thundered, Tuck in that shirt! After this first explosion followed a frothing mini-lecture: many of us have been very proud to wear that Indian shirt; you just dont treat it with such disrespect; if you are in public view that shirt should never be out; it is an insult to team and country; this could not be tolerated, and so on. Cutting through the stifled guffaws of the other commentators, Gavaskar was relentless, What does he think he is doing' he demanded, and the cameraman supplied the answer Munaf lay down against an advertising board and sybaritically unpeeled a banana. That shirt should be in! spluttered Gavaskar. Munaf took a bite of said banana and grinned at a fellow non-playing player, almost as if he could hear what was being said. I would be appalled if the BCCI does not immediately pull this boy up! sizzled Sunny. The next day Sreesanth sledged Ntini for bouncing him, Andre Nel then spat out some apparently long and nasty words at Sreesanth and SS then created cricket-thespian history by whacking Nel for a six and going into his Mallu attack-dance. All the actors in this mini-play had shirts firmly tucked into their pants.
The last day of the Wanderers test was also the final day of the third Ashes test at Perth. As soon as Monty Panesar was bowled by Shane Warne, the huge celebrations began the aberration of 2005 had been emphatically erased, and the Ashes were back where they belonged, with the Australians. As they trooped out of the pavilion, most of the Aussie substitutes were in colourful team ganjees and shorts, as were most of the battered English. Hugs and handshakes, from jubilatory to rueful, all took place in a flapping sea of un-tucked shirts, both white and coloured. I found myself wondering about Gavaskar and his priorities. Whatever you may think of their character and ability, there is surely no cricket team on earth more proud of its colours than the Australians, but they were the first ones to do away with sartorial binds, on and off the field.
At some point in the early Nineties, the classic Baggy Green cap was enhanced by other accoutrements. By the middle of the decade, no Australian slip fielder looked complete without the full kit: on top, the green cap, under it the shiny Oakley shades masking the eyes, under them the white sunblock war-paint, and below that the motor-mouth pulverizing chewing gum when it wasnt spewing taunts and insults at the batsman.
All this theatrical mask-building came attached not only to great skill and commitment, but also, centrally, to an attitude frighten and kill. It was a complete antithesis to the old cricketing proprieties. It comprised a mix of shameless borrowings and total originality. The gum-chewing, for example, was stolen straight from the jaws of the master of pugnacity, Viv Richards himself, as were the high fives from the Windies team in general, but the rest of it, especially the transformation of cricketing whites into a kind of modern Kathakali costume, was the Aussies own creation. All this strutting kangaroo machismo was dreaded, but at the same time, much admired by opponents, including, sneakily, the sledging. Not everyone could emulate them, though: think back to that first Zaheer over of the World Cup final, where the boy from Baroda tried to rattle Hayden in a language he couldnt ev- en speak properly, while the Matty the Saandh and Gilchrist chewed him up like a strip of under-flavoured Wrigleys gum.
Its impossible to calculate exactly how much was digested from that bitter lesson, but the next pivotal moment in the development of Cricket Indias collective persona would have to be Freddie Flintoffs shirt-whirling act which was replied to by Ganguly helicoptering his own sacred, blue India shirt. (Oh, what a football hooligan have we here! Now, for which team exactly does he bash heads in' Mohun Bagan' East Bengal' Behala Jubok Samiti' Jaggu United') It was a supposed misdemeanour for which our Bengal Tiger apologized (Tuck that shirt in, young man!). Well, for better or worse, those days be gone.
In the pre-Ashes psych-ops war, Glenn McGrath wrote a piece in the The Guardian. Speaking of England, he wrote: They set us the kind of stern challenge we had never faced before and the truth is we came up short. We werent used to teams looking us in the eye and going toe to toe and we didnt know how to deal with it. This was classic Pidge-kaku, lying through his Dracula dentures, bigging up the Pom balloon before biting into it; he may have missed out on the 98 tour of India, but his eyeballs and toes were very present in 01 and at home in Australia in 02-03 and he cant have forgotten the losses in Calcutta, Madras and Adelaide and the close, umpire-botched thing in Steve Waughs swansong test in Sydney. The fact is, barring England and New Zealand in one series each, the Indians are the only team to have consistently looked the McGrath Gang in the eye.
My own theory is that the great Indian fight-back in 01 began at a particular moment in the Eden test and no, it wasnt Harbhajans hat-trick. In the Indian first innings, Slater appealed for a catch off Dravid, the umpire didnt give it and Dravid didnt budge. Slater, not the greatest of walkers himself as we saw in his first knock of the match, bullied up to Dravid and asked him to go. He was shortly joined by DracuGrath and Ponting, and the three of them surrounded Dravid and went on at him. Dravid gave it back to them in no uncertain terms. Im not a trained lip-reader and Im sure Mr Wall-a-maniam himself would deny it, but at one point there was a silent close-up of RD turning around and walking back towards the trio of Oz bar-thugs, his mouth clearly forming a **** you! He didnt get much in that first innings, but he was the chassis around which Laxman built his beautiful monster of a 281 in the second.
Of course, none of this, shirt in or out, bat straight or twirling like a gadaa, bowler sledging or not in Panjabi/Malayalam/Bangla/Inglish, helped us retain the precious one-zero lead from Jo burg. There is, as Sunnybhai will never tire of telling us, no substitute for actual performance on the pitch, and the Indian mis-selections and Sehwave-ings of the bat ensured that the Boerra-kababs maintained their home-win record against India. But, try as we might to rewind back to the old shirt-tucked-in days, the one thing thats clear is we will not win anything unless we believe in ourselves. Whether that belief comes from the Bengal Tiger-phoenix, the Wall or from the newest rookies, its that sense of can do and will do that is crucial, not whether the India shirt is stuffed into pants or being whirled by someone over their head.

Outdoors Roundup: Debate reigns over the next wolf hunt
WAUSAU - How big should Wisconsin's next wolf hunt be? That question will be addressed today, when the state's Wolf Advisory Committee meets near Wausau.
The 26-member panel is expected to recommend a quota for the state's second wolf hunt that's due to begin in October. Last year, the quota was 201 wolves, or about a quarter of the state's total population - but the final figure was reduced to 117, because Chippewa Indians refused to let hunters kill the animals to which the tribes were entitled. Recently, the DNR said the wolf population grew only slightly over the past year to between 809-834. The DNR's David McFarland says planning for the next wolf hunt will continue despite a legal challenge from animal rights' groups who seek to put wolves back under federal protections. McFarland said if there's judicial action quote, "We'll change course at that time." Also, he said the advisory panel will not touch the question of eliminating wolf hunting at night - a provision that's in the proposed state budget. McFarland says that issue is in the hands of legislators now. Today's recommendations will go to a DNR policy team and agency officials, and then to the Natural Resources Board.
The vice-chairman of the State Building Commission backed off yesterday on a threat to withhold a quarter-million-dollars in grant money for the Lac du Flambeau Indian tribe. Assembly Republican Dean Kaufert of Neenah said a few weeks ago that he wanted to pull back funding that the commission approved in 2011 for a new tribal cultural center. That was because six Chippewa tribes said they would jack up their federally-approved spearfishing quotas, leaving less fish for sport anglers in northern Wisconsin. Kaufert pulled back on his threat yesterday. He said the cold spring hampered spear-fishing, and DNR promised him that more fish would be made available for others. The Building Commission was originally scheduled to consider the funding withdrawal last month, but the panel wanted to give Governor Scott Walker more time to seek a compromise. Walker announced just a few hours before yesterday's meeting that he'll pursue a major walleye stocking increase that will benefit both sport anglers and tribal fishers. He said the DNR proposed the program - but agency secretary Cathy Stepp told the AP that the stocking plan had nothing to do with the tribal dispute. She said fish experts have been wanting for years to increase walleye stocks. Walker's plan includes eight-million dollars in bonding authority and two-million in grants. The Joint Finance Committee is expected to consider the funding request in the coming days.
Two endangered whooping cranes have produced a new baby in central Wisconsin. The chick was hatched in the wild this week in Marathon County. It's the offspring of a male and female that took part in a migration effort to increase the crane population in eastern North America. The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership says 25 chicks have hatched in the wild since 2006 - but all but five died from a variety of causes. Those five have fledged into the wild. For the partnership, the hatching is much-needed good news after black flies hurt nesting efforts at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Juneau County. All but one of 20 nests were lost earlier this month - and officials say the lone surviving nest has at least one chick.
Officials in Manitowoc say they've been given a "great opportunity," after the federal EPA awarded the city a million-dollars to help clean up polluted business and industrial sites. Manitowoc is the only Wisconsin city to receive a federal Brownfield grant. Only 13 places throughout the country were given similar awards. Manitowoc plans to create a revolving loan fund, from which business sites can borrow money for their cleanups. When it's paid back, the city will loan it out to other projects - and in the meantime, the cash in the revolving fund will keep generating interest. Manitowoc City Planner David Less says several properties have been identified for clean-ups. They include a vacant mall, an old junkyard, and a manufacturing site that used to make coatings for metal. That industrial site is being taken over by the city.
An environmental group is praising state lawmakers, for restoring almost a million dollars in state funds for county conservation workers. Governor Scott Walker wanted to cut over $998,000 in funds which pay for all-or-part of the salaries of three conservationists in each county. The Joint Finance Committee has voted to re-instate the funding. Anne Sayers of the League of Conservation Voters said lawmakers noted, quote, "Our lakes, rivers, and streams can't protect themselves ... Every day, county conservationists are on the front lines working to prevent run-off that leads to polluted water and stinky lakes." Sayers said the funding still faces hurdles when the budget gets to the full Legislature. That's when members in both houses make deals and come up with their own compromise spending packages - and then agree to a final package which goes to Walker, who can pick-and-choose the items he wants to approve and veto.

SOGo is a very fast and scalable modern collaboration suite (or groupware). It offers calendaring, address book management, and a full-featured Webmail client along with resource sharing and permission handling. It also makes use of documented standards (IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc.) and thereby provides native connectivity (without plugins) to many clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal, the iPhone, Mozilla Lightning, and a plethora of mobile devices via SyncML. It can reuse any existing email and database infrastructure, avoiding long hours of site restructuring.
Inverse Lightning enhancer plugin enhances the functionalities of the Lightning calendar plugin for Thunderbird. It is meant to add better integration with CalDAV compatible servers such as SOGo. It provides support for CalDAV freebusy information in the scheduling interface and in the addressbook. It manages the iCalendar organizers by taking into account the identities configured in Thunderbird. And it fixes bugs found from time to time in Lightning which are not yet fixed upstream.
Inverse SOGo Connector for Thunderbird is an extension which transforms Thunderbird into a full DAV client for groupware servers such as SOGo, OpenGroupware.org, and Citadel. It does this by adding support for remote DAV address books and by adding features to be used along with the Lightning calendar extension. It is a merge of the Lightning Enhancer and the GroupDAV Addressbook Connector.
Inverse SOGo Integrator for Thunderbird is an extension that transforms Thunderbird into a pure "heavy" client for SOGo. Whereas the SOGo Connector is meant for portability, the SOGo Integrator provides "vertical" integration with the SOGo groupware server by making use of the specific features it provides. The general features provided are: remote administration of folder subscriptions, an automatic replication of user folders and subscriptions, propagation of updates to chosen extensions from a local update server, and propagation of default settings and integrated GUI elements.

Physicist recalls witnessing Higgs particle's discovery at CERN
Theoretical physicist who was at CERN the day Higgs particle was found ponders its meaning for mankind and for pure research
About five years ago, during one of my many scientific visits to the European Centre for Nuclear Research ( CERN), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was officially turned on. I still have vivid memories of that day: I was in the main auditorium of CERN along with other scientists, eagerly awaiting that historic moment. The atmosphere was somewhat similar to the opening of the Olympics. While the Olympics are held every four years, many scientists have been longing for that moment for decades. Many of their careers hinge on the success of this experiment. The tension and excitement in the air was palpable.
Undoubtedly, the LHC is the world's largest and the most complex experiment. The LHC is large in every sense of the word, and a true exemplar of "big science". To get a sense of scale, here are some numbers. The project took more than 30 years from conception to completion. It is a collaborative effort of nearly 10,000 scientists and engineers from more than 100 countries, many have dedicated their careers to this project for decades.
The LHC, located in the border of Switzerland and France, is a huge particle accelerator. The circular tunnel of the LHC is approximately 27 kilometres in circumference and 100 metres underground.
Inside the accelerator, protons (particles that make up the nucleus) circulate around at nearly the speed of light. With this incredible speed, proton beams going in opposite direction undergo millions of collisions in the blink of an eye. It is from the results of these complex collisions that physicists try to infer the underlying laws of the universe.
The situation is similar to analysing the cause of a chain traffic accident from the debris left by the violent collisions, but with immensely more difficulty. One can imagine the engineering and technical problems that need to be faced. Thus we see that although the starting point of basic science research is not about practical use, the problems researchers encountered along the way often drive the development of applied technology.
The worldwide web is an example of such byproducts of basic science. It was invented because particle physicists need to share and transfer huge amount of data with scholars around the world.
To understand why scientists would devote their lifelong effort to carry out this arduous experiment, let us start with the Higgs boson (commonly known as the "God particle"). Half a century ago, theoretical physicists had already postulated that the presence of this particle can unlock the secret of the origin of mass.
What exactly is the Higgs particle? I believe we all have the following experience. When you take a dip in the water, you find it more difficult to move than on land because of the water resistance.
If you do not know that you are in water, you might have thought that you had mysteriously gained weight. In the early 1960s, Peter Higgs, Francois Englert and the late Robert Brout, along with a number of theoretical physicists, made a rather bold suggestion: if the entire universe is filled with an invisible "field", like a fish that has never left the ocean. We do not know that the resistance we feel is due to us living in the "Higgs ocean".
This resistance can be understood as the origin of mass. Just as different types of fish encounter different degrees of water resistance, different elementary particles constituting the universe (such as electrons and photons) feel the Higgs field differently, and thus have a different mass. For their work, Higgs and Englert shared this year's Nobel Prize in physics.
Since the Higgs field is the same everywhere in space, how do we know it actually exists? If you were a fish in a calm ocean, you could not tell whether or not you were living in a sluggish medium. The situation is different in turbulent water. Consider this analogy: if the protons running in the opposite directions within the LHC are two high-speed submarines, the water specks they create upon collision are the long-sought-after Higgs particles.
In other words, if the Higgs field is a vast ocean, the Higgs particle is a tiny water speck that constitutes this ocean! Producing a "Higgs speck" requires a lot of energy, and this is one of the reasons the LHC experiment is challenging.
On July 4 last year, two independent teams of CERN's LHC researchers (Atlas and CMS) officially announced the discovery of a Higgs particle. I happened to be at CERN at that time to give a talk and was fortunate to witness the unveiling of this scientific revolution.
As a theoretical physicist, I was particularly pleased to see that this experimental result once again proved that theoretical work is not just speculative. The Higgs particle is an important clue to understanding the cosmic blueprint, but scientists believe that it is likely just the first of many exciting discoveries to come. Cosmological data indicates that ordinary matter makes up only a small fraction of the universe; the rest is unknown, something we refer to as "dark matter" and "dark energy".
In light of these exciting prospects, three universities in Hong Kong joined forces early this year to establish a Joint Consortium for Fundamental Physics.
In the last century, research driven purely by scientists' curiosity to understand the microscopic world led to the discovery of quantum physics. Today, results from this basic scientific research has provided the necessities of our lives, such as mobile phones and computers. It is not inconceivable that research in particle physics today will bring us a better tomorrow.

Voluntary Approaches in Climate Policy
Voluntary approaches (VAs) are increasingly implemented in different countries as the main instrument in environmental policies. The authors focus on the economics of VAs, their advantages and disadvantages and how they compare with other climate policy instruments. Voluntary Approaches in Climate Policy illustrates how corporate voluntarism can be harnessed to mitigate the climatic impact of business, and assesses the economics of VAs at the firm level and in the context of climate policies. It goes on to explore their efficiency and effectiveness, how they compare and combine with other instruments, how they impact competition and why they get adopted. Many questions are addressed and answered, such as: • What kinds of VAs have been implemented in different countries? • How did they perform under various economic and environmental criteria? • What are the key factors in increasing firms' participation in VAs? • How do VAs combine with other climate policy instruments such as carbon taxes and emissions trading? • How could they be designed for better performance? The book also contains an overview of VAs with a summary of each contribution, their main policy implications and suggestions for future research.
Keywords: climate policy ; voluntary approaches ; NCCR-Climate
Highlighting the implications of VAs in policy terms, this accessible book will appeal to a wide ranging audience including economists, social scientists, policy-makers and business managers, as well as environmental scientists and practitioners with a specific interest in climate change.
