DocumentationMathematicaThe Mathematica BookPrinciples of MathematicaEvaluation of Expressions
2.6.13 Advanced Topic: Controlling Infinite Evaluation
The general principle that Mathematica follows in evaluating expressions is to go on applying transformation rules until the expressions no longer change. This means, for example, that if you make an assignment like x = x + 1, Mathematica should go into an infinite loop. In fact, Mathematica stops after a definite number of steps, determined by the value of the global variable $RecursionLimit. You can always stop Mathematica earlier by explicitly interrupting it.
This assignment could cause an infinite loop. Mathematica stops after a number of steps determined by $RecursionLimit.
In[1]:= x = x + 1
When Mathematica stops without finishing evaluation, it returns a held result. You can continue the evaluation by explicitly calling ReleaseHold.
In[2]:= ReleaseHold[%]
Global variables that limit infinite evaluation.
Here is a circular definition, whose evaluation is stopped by $IterationLimit.
In[3]:= {a, b} = {b, a}
The variables $RecursionLimit and $IterationLimit control the two basic ways that an evaluation can become infinite in Mathematica. $RecursionLimit limits the maximum depth of the evaluation stack, or equivalently, the maximum nesting depth that would occur in the list structure produced by Trace. $IterationLimit limits the maximum length of any particular evaluation chain, or the maximum length of any single list in the structure produced by Trace.
$RecursionLimit and $IterationLimit are by default set to values that are appropriate for most computations, and most computer systems. You can, however, reset these variables to any integer (above a lower limit), or to Infinity. Note that on most computer systems, you should never set $RecursionLimit = Infinity, as discussed in Section 2.14.4.
This resets $RecursionLimit and $IterationLimit to 20.
In[4]:= $RecursionLimit = $IterationLimit = 20
Now infinite definitions like this are stopped after just 20 steps.
In[5]:= t = {t}
Without an end condition, this recursive definition leads to infinite computations.
In[6]:= fn[n_] := {fn[n-1], n}
A fairly large structure is built up before the computation is stopped.
In[7]:= fn[10]
Here is another recursive definition.
In[8]:= fm[n_] := fm[n - 1]
In this case, no complicated structure is built up, and the computation is stopped by $IterationLimit.
In[9]:= fm[0]
It is important to realize that infinite loops can take up not only time but also computer memory. Computations limited by $IterationLimit do not normally build up large intermediate structures. But those limited by $RecursionLimit often do. In many cases, the size of the structures produced is a linear function of the value of $RecursionLimit. But in some cases, the size can grow exponentially, or worse, with $RecursionLimit.
An assignment like x = x + 1 is obviously circular. When you set up more complicated recursive definitions, however, it can be much more difficult to be sure that the recursion terminates, and that you will not end up in an infinite loop. The main thing to check is that the right-hand sides of your transformation rules will always be different from the left-hand sides. This ensures that evaluation will always "make progress", and Mathematica will not simply end up applying the same transformation rule to the same expression over and over again.
Some of the trickiest cases occur when you have rules that depend on complicated /; conditions (see Section 2.3.5). One particularly awkward case is when the condition involves a "global variable". Mathematica may think that the evaluation is finished because the expression did not change. However, a side effect of some other operation could change the value of the global variable, and so should lead to a new result in the evaluation. The best way to avoid this kind of difficulty is not to use global variables in /; conditions. If all else fails, you can type Update[s] to tell Mathematica to update all expressions involving s. Update[ ] tells Mathematica to update absolutely all expressions.

Shock claims Stevie Wonder CAN SEE in sick new viral conspiracy
A SICK conspiracy theory claiming singing icon Stevie Wonder can actually see has gone viral.
In what has got to be one of the most tasteless celeb allegations to hit the web, the rumour has got tongues wagging online.
Crackpots claim TV purchases, sports game tickets and live TV footage all "prove" the hitmaker is a big faker.
One piece of "evidence" includes a pictures of Mr Wonder in a courtside seat at a basketball game in the US.
The fact that he can be seen using a headset, or that his kids might be basketball fans, are lost on the truth-seekers.
His desire to join the Dancing with the Stars cast added further fuel to the fire, as well as an anecdote from Wonder's childhood.
The superstitious star was known for playing pranks on people when he was a kid, despite his disability since birth.
The absurd claims have been around for several years, but appear to have been stoked on Twitter earlier this week.
Several are sharing videos in which Wonder catches a mic stand live on TV.
Another captures the moment he appears to read the envelope while announcing a winner at the Grammys.
The legendary musician – born Stevland Hardaway Judkins – has been open about his disability.
He revealed that his retinas detached after his premature birth – leading him to lose sight in both eyes.
Undeterred, he began playing instruments and was signed up to his first label by the age of 11.
In other news, slain rapper Tupac is actually alive and well in Cuba.

Century's Director of Sporting Goods Michael Kramp has always been a guy in pursuit of the next physical challenge. Even after wrestling in high school and, later, joining the military, Kramp still wanted to keep pushing himself. Martial arts, he says, was the natural path.
Kramp is a Shodan (1st Degree) black belt in Kyokushin Karate, 4th degree black belt in taekwondo, and is a certified Level 3 Krav Maga instructor under the United States Krav Maga Federation.
He says that his martial arts background was the "single biggest reason" he sought out a job at Century. Kramp says he enjoys getting to work with martial arts products, alongside martial artists, and the environment at Century.
In addition to working at Century, Kramp is also the owner and chief instructor at CORE Martial Arts in Yukon, which he opened in 2013. He was chosen for induction into the United States Martial Artist Association Hall of Fame as the 2014 Instructor of the Year.
Despite working and running a business, Kramp remains active in competing and in the martial arts community. In 2014 he was the Oklahoma State Champion in Kata, and he serves as an Executive Board Member on Oklahoma's premier tournament circuit, the Oklahoma Karate Association. He is also a member of the Martial Arts Association of Masters.
"I have 25 years of experiences with a number of schools and instructors, and I have learned as much what not to do, as what to do," Kramp says. "I have had the opportunity to train under some great people, but the best experience I have had as a student and as an instructor is training under Master Dillard."

Discussion in 'OT Bar' started by Kuet, Apr 22, 2007.
anybody impressed with....
machida?? ive known about him for a couple years now, this was the first time i saw him fight. Loved his style....very good defence.... and that barrage of knees at the end was sweet!!! I also hear hes in amazing shape now- didnt he used to have a little belly goin on?
anyways, i think he should move down to 185, he looks small as hell for a LHW....and ko franklin again
any links for fight? it wasn't on spike.
for sure, his last fight where he totally dominated hoger was sick. mad counters, he is so fast, and precise. his karate upbringing definetely shows the way he fights.
what he said.
I'll upload it, give me a little bit.
he isnt the most exciting fighter to watch, but he's technical and fast
hes a very good fighter. would love to see that fight
There we go
thank you!
Oh, this was a recording from a stream too fyi, so its not the greatest quality, and the announcers are talking in a language I have no idea how to deciefer
Cool, thanks. I was pissed they showed crappy Chiek Kongo instead of Machida, seeing as alll the ads said he was going to be featured and not Kongo.
it looks like they barely exchanged at all in the first two rounds..I skimmed through the fight and saw nothing but the knees by Machida at the end
his style is kind of interesting since there is no one really like him...i would not be excited to see him fight liddell or many other LHW's...i hope he moves down to MW
Machida whooped his ass.
i thought he moved VERY well inside and outside out of range.... boxing instructor calls this geography class....nice feints, counters and defence, and some explosive attacks....those kness seriously came outta nowhere...
gonna watch it now, thxs!
he would have murdered forrest.
What was that he tried to pull at the end? It looked like a RNC but he didn't apply enough pressure and then he started cranking the poor guy's neck.
I don't know about that, Heath isn't at the level of Forrest and Forrest is fairly tall.

Much of conventional market research assumes that decision-making is done only by System 2 (rational) and that too with little input from System 1 (emotional). Kahneman shows that that is not the case (as demonstrated by a variety of experiments in behavioral economics) and researchers would be well advised to take note and think about how to account for the influence of System 1 in consumer decision-making.

Things I Have To Be Grateful For!!!
Saturday, March 24, 2012
For the last two days I have been so busy I was not able to Spark. I was able to write down my nutrition, exercise and blood sugars. I have been working every day. When I got home I had two birthday celebrations to attend. I haven't been home long enough to do anything. I wanted to keep my streaks going but could not. I will just start over again and not let it bother me. I have to be grateful that I was able to do what I have done. Then go on and take one day at a time to get back on track with it all. I did go back and log food and exercise so that is consistent. That is a good thing that we can do this on the site! I am so happy with the progress I have been making and I want that to continue and meet the goals I have set for myself. I am more active and feel so much better with the weight I have lost so far. My blood pressure is back to a normal range and my blood sugars have been great. So in the long run I am doing so much better in many ways. This is due to my friends here at Spark and my family for supporting me in my goal to get healthy!!!

In defence of the Tea Party
Christine O'Donnell's improbable win of the Republican Party's nomination for Senate in the normally-blue state of Delaware last week has set off a storm of analysis over the rise of the Tea Party.
O'Donnell prevailed over the long-serving congressman for Delaware, moderate Mike Castle, in the race to contest the open senate seat formally held by vice-president Joe Biden. Normally a long-shot, the senate seat had been widely regarded as winnable thanks to the catatonic poll numbers for congressional Democrats. But the selection of O'Donnell, unashamedly conservative on fiscal and social issues, has led many to write-off the seat for the Republican Party.
O'Donnell is not the first grassroots conservative to upset incumbent or elite-endorsed candidates this primary season. Lisa Murkowski, incumbent senator for Alaska often criticised for her departures from conservative orthodoxy, was dispatched by hitherto little-known Joe Miller. Miller, like O'Donnell, benefited from an endorsement from former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Rand Paul, son of libertarian-firebrand and multiple-time presidential candidate Ron Paul, succeeded in capturing the nomination for US senate in the rural state of Kentucky, despite his arguably quirky views.
Some commentators are now saying that the success of these Tea Party-backed candidates in Republican primaries may dash the party's chance of retaking the Senate in elections scheduled for November 2. Winning the Senate, which will elect just 37 of its 100 senators on election day, was always going to be a stretch for the Republicans, who need to gain 10 seats to control the chamber. But polling suggests they are within striking distance in states they often struggle in - for instance, Illinois, which is electing a replacement for the seat vacated by president Obama. Yet critics allege the extremism of the Tea Party will be rejected by enough voters to cost them control of the Senate, and also possibly the House of Representatives, where the Republicans need to win an extra 39 seats from the 435 up for election.
Simon Mann, US correspondent for The Age, is representative of this view. Calling Tea Party supporters "mad hatters", he argues the Tea Party is "hell-bent on pushing its agenda at the expense of party unity". On The Drum on Wednesday, Michael Brissenden, the ABC's US correspondent, compared the Tea Party to Australia's Pauline Hanson-led One Nation, and argued that many Tea Partiers are unhappy about the spread of "salsa and tacos".
Opponents of the Tea Party movement have used grubby tactics in an effort to discredit it. Chief amongst these is the suggestion that the Tea Party is racist. Critics suggest that the spirit and strength of the opposition to Obama is not due to his policies (after all, they imagine, who could possibly be opposed to universal healthcare?), but because he is black. The pop-pyschology engaged in by major opinion columnists goes something like this - white, conservative, Christian, southern and predominantly male Americans feel 'threatened' by having an African American as president, and this is responsible for the historic level of hostility experienced by President Obama.
What they misunderstand is the deep-rooted American hostility to overbearing government, and the instinctive revulsion many Americans feel about a government takeover of one of its largest domestic industries (health care represents approximately 16 per cent of US GDP). Do they really think the Tea Party protests against Obamacare would be any less muted if it was a president Hillary Clinton who successfully introduced it? (No doubt the Tea Party would then be a sexist movement, unable to handle the idea of a woman president).
This also ignores the deep hostility many Tea Party activists hold for the former Bush administration, and the fact that the policy that elicits perhaps the most anger amongst its rank and file - the bailout of major American banks and other companies deemed too "big to fail" - began under president Bush. Indeed, there are a string of mostly male, white, Christian and often southern American Republican congressmen who are now out of a job because of their vote for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) during the dying days of the Bush administration.
In fact, in the southern state of South Carolina, African-American Tim Scott, backed by the Tea Party, won a contested primary for US Congress on the basis of his opposition to bailouts. In an ironic twist of fate, he prevailed over Paul Thurmond, son of South Carolina's famous segregationist senator, Strom Thurmond. In the same state, Indian-American Nikki Haley won the Republican nomination for governor against an all-male, all-white, all-Christian field after receiving the high-profile endorsement of the Tea Party's spiritual leader, Sarah Palin. Haley, the daughter of immigrants who still practise their Seikh faith, joins the governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, as one of a number of non-white rising stars of the Republican Party from the south. Then of course there is Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban refugees, who won the Florida Republican Party's nomination for Senate against the sitting governor, Charlie Christ, who was irrecovably damaged by his support for President Obama's stimulus package. Rubio, spoken of as a potential future presidential contender, was among the earliest Tea Party-backed candidates. If you're looking for evidence of Tea Party racism, you won't find it in America's south.
So will the Tea Party hurt the Republican's chances in November? Maybe. As Scott Rasmussen, a leading pollster, points out, the Tea Party is as popular amongst Americans as both the Democratic and Republican parties. They are largely responsible for the increased turnout in Republican primaries so far this year, and in a non-presidential election year, where turnout drops significantly, having an energised and motivated base vote can often be the difference between winning and losing.
In many ways the Tea Party mirrors the American public at large. It is disillusioned with the direction America is heading in, disapproves of the performance of the Democratic Congress and the Obama administration, and is angry about the state of the US economy. The realclearpolitics.com polling average of congressional approval shows 70 per cent of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is running. On average, just 31 per cent of Americans say their country is on the 'right track' and Barack Obama's disapproval rating sits at an astonishing 49 per cent. A major Gallup poll also showed that the demographics of the Tea Party were strikingly similar to the American public. For instance, 17 per cent of self-identified Tea Party supporters are Democrats, and 28 per cent are registered independents. As for other characteristics, Gallup's Lydia Saad says, "Tea Partiers are quite representative of the public at large [in terms of] their age, educational background, employment status, and race."
The Tea Party has forced the Republican Party to select candidates who are not part of the Washington-establishment, an asset in an environment where polls showed earlier this year just 8 per cent of Americans believe incumbent members of congress should be re-elected.
Christine O'Donnell may not win in Delaware. But if she fails to do so, it will be more due to her weaknesses as a candidate - for example, a history of unpaid taxes - than her ideology. Nevertheless, other Republicans across the country are perfectly poised to ride a wave of dissatisfaction into office, and they can thank the Tea Party for positioning them for it.

Eric LeGrand's dream of becoming a sportscaster will become a reality in 2011.
LeGrand, the Rutgers player paralyzed making a tackle on a kickoff against Army last season, will be part of the Rutgers' radio broadcast team for every game this year:
"I think it's really cool," [coach Greg] Schiano said. "He's going to do post (game), pre (game) and halftime. So we're going to get our E-rock report."
LeGrand's role will be to add expert opinion from a former player's perspective.
"I think (he will do) analysis, I don't know," Schiano said. "He might morph into interviews."
LeGrand was paralyzed from the neck down when he fractured his C-3 and C-4 vertebrae, but is seeing results on an aggressive rehab plan. In July, LeGrand posted two pictures to his Twitter feed showing him on his feet in therapy for the first time. He accompanied the photos with a pair of messages, "Standing up little by little in therapy," and "Standing tall, we can't fall. Standing upright again."
LeGrand has spent the 10 months since his injury immobilized in a hospital bed and then in a special chair that he's appeared in regularly since roughly the beginning of the year. Prior to standing, he'd reported "twitches going throughout the body" and movement in his arms, both in the span of less than a month. He's tweeted repeatedly his ultimate goal of walking back onto the field at Rutgers Stadium. For now, though, he'll settle for a little talking.
If you're interested, you can still contribute to the Eric LeGrand Believe Fund to assist his treatment, or make some strategic purchases on his behalf.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Canada's economy is in no danger of falling into a recession but growth will slow considerably this year, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Friday.
Flaherty said the International Monetary Fund had a gloomier view of the Canadian economy than the government. The Fund forecast this week that 2008 Canadian economic growth would be 1.3 percent compared to Ottawa's projection of 1.7 percent.
"I think the IMF has been relatively pessimistic on the Canadian economic performance but even in their estimate, we're still in a balanced budget position in Canada," Flaherty told reporters in Washington ahead of a meeting of finance ministers and central bankers from the top industrialized countries.
"We're going to have relatively small economic growth in Canada this year but we knew that," he said.
Flaherty said he was "comfortable" with his latest growth projection, made in the budget in February.
"We have in Canada the strongest economic fundamentals in the G7, so we're prepared to weather the storm."
Group of Seven officials will discuss ways to alleviate the global credit crisis in their meeting on Friday, after which they will meet with top commercial bankers, including Scotiabank chief executive Rick Waugh.

Regional Reviews: Cleveland & Akron
Also see Mark's review of Selfies at the Clown Motel
Johnny (Wesley Allen) and Charlotte (Tess Burgler) have been friends since the age of 9. He is a black Christian, she a white Jew. In spite of this, Charlotte's parents have accepted him as a member of the family. Charlotte and Johnny are the kind of friends who use each other as sounding boards and who share their innermost secrets (especially ones they would keep from their parents). As the play opens, the two college freshmen are hosting a dinner for Charlotte's parents in her very plain dorm room. Charlotte's father Howard is a New York born Jew who writes pulp detective novels, while Southern born Christian Lucinda keeps house in their cozy home in the South. They are as liberal and open minded a couple as you could find. Lucinda even converted to Judaism (but as Howard points out, she is not "a true Jew").
The meal is as modest as the room setting as the four sit on the floor at two low end tables covered with a red checkered flannel bed sheet for a meal of plain salad and bread. Lucinda loves the "bohemian" flavor of the evening while Howard with his bad back is not happy with the seating arrangement or the prospect of eating dry bread and plain salad. When Johnny volunteers to run to the store for butter, the parents ask pointed questions of Charlotte. Why did she choose to go to the same college as Johnny (a small unnamed Southern University near their homes) when she had an open invitation to Yale? How intimate is her relationship with Johnny? What are her life plans concerning him? The answers they get force the couple to radically adjust their perspective. It seems that, according to Charlotte, she and Johnny are "beyond dating" and their relationship is evolving.
When Howard and Lucinda leave, the two youngsters get very drunk and Charlotte attempts to seduce Johnny who, due to his strict Baptist upbringing, wishes to remain a virgin even though he dated in high school. Charlotte confesses that she has a crush on a girl in her class. With Charlotte revealing her leaning toward bi-sexual and lesbian relationships, Johnny reveals that he may be leaning toward being gay.
While the parents try to keep up with Charlotte and Johnny's decisions, their own marriage is falling apart due to a lack of sexual fulfillment ("it's been years") that leads to Lucinda having an affair. As the second act begins it is five years later and major changes have occurred in all of the characters' lives.
The play delves deeply into subject matter concerning relationships, love, hate, forgiveness, and liberal attitudes and must be watched with close attention to details in order to fully realize the many interlocking themes. As in many family situations there is a finely balanced love/hate relationship among all of the play's protagonists. At one point Johnny verbally attacks Howard, telling him that he feels that his novels are racist and sexist (Johnny even wrote a thesis on this very subject). The argument escalates to a physical brawl.
Director Shannon Sindelar's cast, for the most part, are excellent. Tess Burgler is superb as Charlotte, bringing a bubbly innocence while showing the character's vulnerability. Scott Miller as Howard is the perfect picture of parental befuddlement as he constantly has to readjust his liberal gauge to meet new circumstances and information. Heather Anderson Boll steals the stage as Lucinda whose coping mechanisms for life include her analyst's suggested breathing and finger snapping exercise, cigarettes, and pot.
There is one possible exception to the well thought out characterizations. Wesley Allen, who plays Johnny, gives a consistently wooden performance that at times is monotone. It is as if his character suffers from a mild form of adult ADD. It is not apparent if this dry effect is due to a decision by the actor, the director, or the playwright. It is only at play's end when Johnny takes off his clothes and dances at Charlotte's wedding (away from the reception area) that he becomes truly animated.
The Mystery of Love & Sex has strong social themes that include interracial relationships, inter-religious relationships, sex, gay lifestyles, and gay marriage. Some may find it less fulfilling due to its mature nature. As Lucinda would put it, "It's so bohemian." The show contains some strong language and full nudity (male and female), a rare sight on a Cleveland stage.
The Dobama Theatre production of The Mystery of Love & Sex runs through October 2, 2016, at 2340 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, with show days and times: Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available for all shows and may be purchased online at http://www.dobama.org or by calling (216) 932-3396.

I call this frozen cocktail the Coco Kabana because it combines the flavors of coconut, Kahlua and banana. Serve it at the end of a meal for a quick to prepare dessert. To keep the drink thick and frosty, use frozen bananas.
Non-alcohol version
You can make a kid friendly version of this drink by eliminating the Kahlua, increasing the the milk to 1 cup and adding 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.
2 medium bananas, frozen
3/4 C Kahlua
1/2 C cream of coconut
1/2 cup milk or half and half
1 pint vanilla ice cream
.Makes 4 Cups
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Serve immediately
I'm going to try this
Re: Coco Kabana Frozen Cocktail or Shake
Can I just say YUM...
It sounds delish

#4 The Horizon Is Flat
The Earth is flat, too. This is probably how the whole thing started in the first place. If you're near the ocean, just sit on the beach and look at the horizon line. It will be a flat line, therefore, our planet must be flat. If it is a sphere, wouldn't there be some kind of a curve on the horizon, like on the tennis ball?

Heya there (: Of course, paying for your security is generally the best choice, but...
As a scanner, you can use TrenMicro's HouseCall
For further protection, you can use both Superantispyware and Spybot
For more high-profile malware, you can use HitmanPro. There's a free trial offered, and it will continue to remove cookies even after the trial expires. For malware, you have to buy the full version after the trial expires.
As for firewall, I agree with everyone else. Windows firewall is one of your only ways. Just do scans *very* frequently. If you know how to use Linux or BSD, you can set up free firewalls in a virtual machine.
To prevent infections, I recommend you use Sandboxie. You can find a great tutorial here.
And always generally just be safe.

A really good product for maintaining a secure system is:
Secunia PSI: Free Computer Security - Personal Software Inspector (PSI) - Secunia
I have used it since last year and find it very very helpful in maintaining the software on my system at its latest/most secure versions as it does a very good job of monitoring the software on my pc's and verifying if a newer version is available or if windows updates are needed. Really a no brainer as an assist tool.
No av is perfect regardless both are still good products.

* Commission had called for agreement before year-end
* Carbon market has fallen as expectation of fast deal fades
* Recession has led to glut of carbon permits (Adds context)
By Barbara Lewis
BRUSSELS, Nov 29 (Reuters) - EU member states will not vote until next year on a plan to boost the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) by holding back some of a huge surplus of allowances.
The scheme is meant to be the cornerstone of the European Union's policies on tackling climate change, but a collapse in the price of ETS carbon allowances means it is no longer serving to spur greener energy.
EU member states had been expected to vote on a proposal from the Commission, the EU executive, on Dec. 13.
But a statement issued after the carbon market close on Thursday said that meeting would only ask for the opinions of member states and would not hold a ballot.
"The agenda for the December committee meeting does not ... invite them to adopt a formal opinion (vote) at the meeting," the statement said.
Thursday's Commission statement said the member states would be asked to vote after agreement on a legislative amendment to reinforce the legality of the Commission's plan, which is not expected before February next year.
As soon as that vote had taken place, members of the European Parliament and member states would be asked to "complete their scrutiny as soon as possible thereafter" prior to formal adoption of the law.
The Commission published its proposal earlier this month to temporarily remove 900 million allowances from the next phase of the ETS, which begins next year, and had said it wanted a decision by the end of 2012.
Poland, which is heavily dependent on carbon-intensive coal, has led opposition to the plan, referred to as backloading because the withdrawn permits would be made available at the end of the next phase of the ETS, which runs from 2013-2020.
However, a bigger obstacle is dominant EU power Germany, which has so far failed to come up with a position as its environment ministry supports the proposal, while its economy ministry does not.
Germany's indecision has meant the carbon market had already begun to assume a delay and the market closed down nearly 4 percent at 6.56 euros a tonne on Thursday, compared with a record low of 5.99 euros a tonne hit in April.
The weakness of the market is linked to economic slowdown, which has led to the glut of carbon allowances as demand for them has plunged.
It was dealt another blow by the proposal of the European Commission earlier this month to freeze for a year its requirement all aviation using EU airports would have to offset their emissions with EU ETS allowances.
The requirement had triggered international outcry and threats of a trade war. (Additional reporting by Nina Chestney in London; Editing by Anthony Barker and Marguerita Choy)

murph3irish (2) Linthicum, Maryland | February 15, 2012
This is my beer wonderland! I love this places selection and the fact that you can buy single bottles before you spring for a six pack. The people that work there are very helpful and friendly.
Ret12 (10) Maryland | September 5, 2011
When I walked into this place my jaw dropped. They must have over 500 types of beers to choose from to make your own customized 6 packs. Not only is their selection huge but their prices are lower than any other store I've been to.
Maxbier (77) Maryland | January 26, 2015
It's Total Wine Etc., so the selection is extensive and there is a huge selection of singles so you can make your own 6ers. This place is only limited by the Maryland distributors, i.e., the Virginia Total Wine is always a treat when I get to the other side of the Potomac.
noshoken (6) Maryland | August 4, 2011
What I would call a superstore when it comes to beers. Very large store for the area sometimes I can find beers that are available in smaller less stocked stores than I can find here. They have the best on hand selection of keg beers (I look for interesting 1/6th kegs and always have a 1/2 keg of Guinness on tap which I can always rely on being in stock). You can always order anything in a keg that's available but I like the on hand selection. I don't know any place else in the area where the keg selection is as good.
Travlr (3057) Charlotte , North Carolina | February 19, 2012
Recommended by Andrew at Alewife, thank you sir. This place has a massive beer selection, heavy on regionals and locsls, but with a smattering of stuff from all over, including Central America. Staff are friendly, prices are good. What more do you need?
nearbeer (250) Knoxville, Tennessee | August 30, 2007| Updated July 28, 2008
This place should be called Sins R Us. It is a huge store in a strip mall that sells mostly wine, but also as advertised the 500-600 plus beers (all sold singly!), cigars, chocolates and I don't know what all else. Lots of US microbrews, but as some one else said, Belgian selection is thin comparatively speaking. Great place with pretty good service if you need help. Only complaint is the beer is located just to the left when you come in the door and I got run over by shopping buggies about every 2 minutes while I was ogling the beer.
lsymms (3) Alabama | April 21, 2006
Huge: grocery store sized. Good selection, not great, although good for MD. Prices not bad. Good place to spend a half hour browsing.
strongpieman (156) Mount Airy, Maryland | September 24, 2011
Overall a good place for singles, good selection given the Maryland distribution limitations. Very busy place and aisles a little too narrow to navigate with banging your head a bit. Not as big as other Total Wine stores, a function of the specific location. Beer prices seemed decent although the 10% 6 pack discount disappeared. Service is great... lots of people with knowledge and helpful. No one was condescending when asking for "value" wine selections. Other than the crowding, a great place.
themadmumis (11) Westminster, Maryland | February 12, 2011
Wow, this place is intense. Contrary to previous ratings from years ago, Corridor Wine has really amped up their game in the beer market. Approx. 400+ beer selctions from Trappist, Belgian, imports from around the world, and a solid selction of micros from across the USA including new, multiple selctions of Black IPAs. Beer displays are infused into endcaps and the aisles of wines, plus a beer tasting amongst the wine tastings this afternoon! Prices were, by far, the lowest (Chimay Grande Reserve 750 mL $11.99, Dogfishead 60 min 6-pk $7.49, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale 6-pk $6.99) in the area. Downfall was that all beer sections weren't 'faced' or 'zoned' causing me to look and search to see if product was in-stock; look dishelveled and too well shopped. Decent cigar, liquor, and premium sections and gigantic wine selection. A dominant operation-
ryan (13) Beltsville, Maryland | May 3, 2006
Decent bottle shop that I would hold in higher regard if not for its proximity to Astor Liquors. Warehouse type layout, great wine selection. Printed buying guide listing the beers they carry. The carry a couple things that Astors doesn't, 3 Monts and La Trappe (non-quad) come to mind. Very helpful and knowledgable staff. Was kind of neat to see a palate of Bigfoot last time I was there. Open Sundays (Astors isn't).

A couple of months ago, we received a tip that there was a great shop in Chilliwack which sells eco-friendly clothing, home accessories and more. An eco-friendly boutique in the Fraser Valley? We're so there!
Owned and operated by the lovely Donna Gumprich, All Things Being Eco is an eco-chic lifestyle boutique. You will find everything from cleaning products, beautiful home decor, gorgeous clothing, fun accessories, jewellery, safe baby toys, eco-friendly stationary and much more. Anorganic discount outlet, you'll save 10 – 60% off what you've seen these great products elsewhere. Score!
Donna brings in fashionable clothing made from recycled pop bottles, bamboo and other organic fibres, including Vancouver designersLela Designs, Nixxi, Lav & Kush and more. All Things Being Eco's objective is to teach people to use what they have, and regularly host FREE seminars for products they sell.Contact All Things Being Eco to find out when the next seminar is, to find out more about beauty products, household cleaning products, and more… much of which is made in Canada!
The story of how All Things Being Eco came to be is adorable. Donna had been retired for a few years, raising her young daughter. Now that her daughter had been in school full time for a few years, Donna decided she'd like to go back to work. Deciding to talk it over with her little one first, Donna asked her how she would feel about Mommy going back to work. "Only if you do something to help the environment," was the answer. How cute is that? So Donna got to researching and investigating her options, and All Things Being Eco was the solution. What an insightful little girl!
While visiting this fabulous boutique, I picked up a Bazura Bag made by women in India. These bags are made from vintage tapestries, old tribal wall hangings and/or blankets. It is absolutely beautiful – gorgeous colours, golden threads and wooden handles… one of a kind!
The next big time of year for All Things Being Eco is back to school. They've got notebooks and more from The Great Elephant Poo Poo Paper Company, Eco Jot, and Re-Cover Journals. Bring your little one in to find a super fun backpack or other bag from Bazura Bag's line of recycled drink containers, or a pack of fun Smencils.
Thanks, Donna, for opening such a unique, fun store in the Fraser Valley!

A 12-YEAR-OLD girl has proved she is a cut above the rest by raising more than £1,000 for Cancer Research UK by having her head partly shaved.
Ella Walsh, from Wootton-by-Woodstock, had her shoulder-length hair cut short and shaved the back and sides to raise the cash at her fundraiser on Sunday, October 27.
The pupil of Marlborough School, Woodstock, had her hair cut on stage by hairdresser Carly Humphries from Kidlington's Evolution Hair Design at Wootton Village Hall and there was also a tombola and raffle.
Ella was inspired to fundraise for charity after watching a TV programme featuring a girl battling cancer.
She said: "On the TV there was a girl who had cancer and I thought that that could happen to anyone of us.
"So I wanted to do something drastic to say we have to do something about it.
"I am really happy because I have raised £1,000."
The day alone raised more than £500, but so far £1,088 has been raised and more donations are coming in.
As if raising £1,000 for charity wasn't enough, Ella has also donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides wigs and hair pieces for children who suffer hair loss due to cancer treatment.
Her mum Carol said: "We are really proud of her. Not many girls her age would want to do something like that."

A massive rise in immigration is wrecking the quality of life in Britain, a study by the Members of Parliament of the United Kingdom warns.
- Soaring house prices, water shortages, gridlocked roads and over-stretched public services are all linked to the population explosion.
- The influx is also blamed for family strife as couples split under pressure of coping with higher housing costs.
- And things are set to get worse, with a 7.2 million growth in population predicted over 30 years -- mostly from immigration.
The number of migrants has hit 662,000 since Poland and seven other East European countries joined the European Union two years ago -- 20 times official predictions. And the problems will worsen with 140,000 expected to come here when Romania and Bulgaria join the EU next year. The influx from ex-Iron Curtain states to 800,000 in just three years.
Despite repeated assurances that immigration is under control, leaked papers warn key public services could be plunged into chaos when the next deluge begins:
- Schools need to hire an army of English teachers to help kids who cannot speak the language as well as finding extra places.
- The National Health Service (NHS) will be stretched still further as more migrants "block" beds because they are ineligible for care and benefits once they leave.
- And even more pressure will be piled on housing stocks.
- Aggressive begging is likely to be increased by those migrants who cannot find jobs -- while poorly paid workers who do find jobs will pull down wage levels.
The report by Home Office minister Joan Ryan spells out the "serious implications" for services and "community cohesion."
