December 26, 2012, in Hama province, Syria
A sniper believed to be affiliated with the Syrian army killed al-Hamoui, who was working as a guide for Al-Jazeera journalists in the Wadi Eldief neighborhood in Hama province, according to a report by Amr Almanery, an Al-Jazeera correspondent who was present at the time.
Al-Hamoui was taking Al-Jazeera journalists to interview opposition leaders when the network's crew came under fire, Almanery said. Al-Hamoui was hit by gunfire and died shortly after, he said. Rebel soldiers with the Free Syrian Army intervened to help the team escape the gunfire.
A video broadcast on Al-Jazeera shows the attack happening in real time. Another Al-Jazeera video shows al-Hamoui's body being taken away by Al-Jazeera journalists and rebel soldiers after the sniper attack ends.
Al-Hamoui had been a spokesman for the Revolutionary Council, a Syrian opposition group in Hama, and had documented the conflict in videos that were posted to YouTube and picked up by Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, and local outlets. Almanery said al-Hamoui had documented a December 23 government attack on a bakery in Hilfaya that killed at least 90 civilians.

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- -- Portfolio of jointly developed major projects has jumped from three to ten
-- Nissan and Daimler have completed factory building for the joint production of engines in the USA
The chief executives of the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG said today that their companies' partnership is advancing quickly, and the scope of the collaboration is increasingly global.
The French-Japanese-German partnership began in April 2010, with three "pillar projects" primarily focused on Europe. Since then, the portfolio has increased to ten significant projects, including major initiatives from North America to Japan. In addition, relevant business units are working together in best-practice sharing and other forms of cooperation.
"While our initial collaboration focused strongly on European projects, we are now focusing on synergies in all key markets", Renault-Nissan Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn said today at an annual media briefing on the partnership. "The largest economies of scale are always global."
"We will continue to seek out new projects together that make sense for all partners and, most importantly, our customers", Daimler CEO and Head of Mercedes Benz Cars Dieter Zetsche said.
The CEOs cited the joint production of Mercedes-Benz four-cylinder gasoline engines in Decherd (Tennessee, USA) as a good example of how the partners profit from the cooperation. Just one and a half years after the groundbreaking in May 2012, the factory building for the joint production of Mercedes-Benz four-cylinder gasoline engines is now complete. Production machinery is now being installed and the start of production is planned for mid-2014. The engines produced in Decherd will then be used in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which is produced at the Daimler plant in Tuscaloosa (Alabama, USA), and in new Infiniti products.
Joint development work is also proceeding on schedule for a new family of shared three- and four-cylinder gasoline engines with turbocharging and direct fuel injection. The engines will make use of the latest technology and will have significantly improved fuel consumption.
Another example of the successful cooperation on engine development is the new Infiniti Q50, which was presented in Geneva this spring and will be available as of the fall. It is the first Infiniti automobile to have a powertrain comprising a diesel engine and automatic transmission from the cooperation with Daimler.
The first vehicles resulting from the collaboration, including the Mercedes-Benz Citan van, are already on the road. In addition, Infiniti will offer a vehicle using components from Daimler's compact car architecture starting 2015. The components will be used in a brand specific way. The Q30 concept car can be seen for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The cooperation is continuing also in the field of commercial vehicles. It is planned that the unit of Daimler Trucks Asia, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), will be supplied with Nissan's NV350 Urvan commercial vans to be sold under Mitsubishi Fuso in selected export markets.
This type of strategic supply has been successfully implemented since early 2013 also for light-duty trucks to expand their respective product portfolio into new segments: the FUSO Canter Guts light-duty truck (payload:2.0 tons) is supplied to Nissan and the Nissan Atlas F24 light-duty truck (payload 1.5 tons) is supplied to Mitsubishi Fuso. This cross-supply volume initially amounts to about 1,300 units for the Japanese market.
The smart/Twingo project is also progressing as planned. Production will begin soon on the new two-seater smart at the smart plant in Hambach (France) and of the four-seater smart and the Renault Twingo successor model at the Renault plant in Novo Mesto (Slovenia). Market launch of the model versions is planned for the second half of 2014. The new generations of the smart and the Renault Twingo are being developed on the basis of a shared architecture, but will remain independent products with an unmistakable brand appearance. A show car of the new smart four-seater ("smart fourjoy") was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show this Monday.
The Renault-Nissan Alliance is a strategic partnership between Renault (based in Paris, France) and Nissan (based in Yokohama, Japan), which together sell one in ten cars worldwide. Renault and Nissan have been strategic partners since 1999 and sold 8.1 million cars in nearly 200 countries in 2012. The Alliance operates strategic collaborations with numerous automakers, including Germany's Daimler, China's Dong Feng, and with regional manufacturers such as Ashok Leyland in India.

Durgin Bridge #45May 23. 2013 3:15PM
Durgin Road
Sandwich, NH
The first bridge constructed at this site was built to replace the ford, located nearly a quarter mile upstream. The ford carried the heavy traffic of bygone days across the river. The current bridge is the fourth one on this site, the others being washed away in 1844, 1865 and 1869. In 1869, the freshet was so violent that iron bolts used to connect the great bed pieces of the middle pier to a large rock were twisted and broken. The iron bolts were two inches in diameter. The existing bridge was built by Jacob Berry of North Conway. Berry claimed that the bridge was so strong that it could be filled with wood without causing it to fail. There is no evidence that anyone ever attempted to prove his theory. The bridge is named for James Holmes Durgin who ran a grist mill nearby. The bridge was also a link in the underground slave railroad from Sandwich to North Conway.
Year of Construction: - 1869
Original Cost: - Unknown
One and one-half miles north of N.H. Route 113, two miles east of North Sandwich Village on Durgin Road spanning the Cold River.
Paddleford truss with added arches. The bridge is 96'0" long with a clear span of 72'0". It has an overall width of 19'0" with a roadway width of 13'10", and a maximum vertical clearance of 12'9". The bridge is posted for six tons.

Along the same lines as a prior post I did on T. Rich "switching genre lanes," comes another and this one is swangin' wide! ZZ Top covered DJ DMD's (featuring Fat Pat and Lil Keke) 25 Lighters for their upcoming album La Futura and for a Jeremiah Weed advertisement.
Last year I did a post (click to read) on the meaning and myths behind the song.

Buying guides
Timber & board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product, we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but in this sentence: "Quae pars orationis est 'serenas'?" why is the word Quae instead of Quid? And I thought the signal "ae" was either first declension nominative plural or first declension genetive and dative singular.
Our text book (Artes Latinae) says the above sentence means, "What part of speach is the word serenas?"

TORONTO - The world has gone bananas for a baby monkey named Darwin caught frolicking around the parking lot of a Toronto Ikea store.
Stylish monkey found outside Toronto Ikea store is having a "stressful time"
Will Campbell, The Canadian Press
TORONTO – The world has gone bananas for a baby monkey named Darwin caught frolicking around the parking lot of a Toronto Ikea store.
Pictures and videos of the stylish simian, who somehow let himself out of a parked car and wandered outside the store, have popped up in news outlets ranging from the Mediterranean island of Malta to Melbourne, Australia and beyond.
And the rhesus monkey — decked out in a tiny tan coat — is soaking up his 15 minute of fame on social media, where the Twitterverse pounced on shots of the puzzled-looking animal.
By Monday Darwin had earned at least two mock Twitter accounts and his own hashtag, in addition to countless photoshopped images.
"#IkeaMonkey Darwin exhibited all the major steps of evolution: Complex cerebral activity, bipedal walking, Ikea shopping," one user tweeted.
Many cheered the five-month-old monkey's fashion cred.
"Can't wait to dish critique on that divine Russian-inspired shearling coat," chimed Canadian fashion journalist Jeanne Beker.
The monkey was taken to the Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary, in Sunderland, Ont., Monday afternoon after being kept overnight at an animal shelter following his seizure Sunday afternoon by Toronto Animal Services officers.
Sanctuary President Sherri Delaney said he would be paired up with a "motherly" monkey and get some company when two female rhesus monkeys arrive in the coming weeks at the sanctuary, which currently holds 22 primates.
She said he won't be seeing his double-breasted shearling coat anytime soon as he becomes acclimatized to living more naturally with his fellow monkeys.
Animal services spokeswoman Mary Lou Leiher said Darwin was in good shape after being captured.
"He's a baby. He's a little bit sensitive," Leiher told reporters Monday.
Leiher said it was a "stressful time" for Darwin, adding he was "very quiet" and didn't show any signs of personality during his time in the north Toronto shelter.
"A lot of people who get these types of pets don't understand what kind of care they need," she said.
The owners of the Montreal-born monkey — whose identities have not been made public — have been fined $240 for breaking the city's prohibited-animal bylaw, said Leiher.
She stressed that there are good reasons for keeping exotic creatures like the pint-sized monkey outlawed.
"It's not appropriate to keep an animal like this as a pet, especially in a city where he's obviously gotten loose and (is) roaming around in a parking lot by himself in public," Leiher said.
"The bylaw is in place to protect the safety of the public as well as the safety and health of the animal," she added.
Darwin was being examined for any injuries or viruses he may carry, she said, noting the rhesus species is capable of carrying the Herpes B virus, which can be transferred to humans.
Greg Tarry, a manager with the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums, said monkeys may be small and cute when they're young, but that keeping one as a pet can be dangerous as the creature grows older and more assertive.
"You start getting into competitions about 'who's in charge here,' and then the animal becomes aggressive," he said.
"And if that happens you've got an animal without social skills unable to live in a society of primates who's too aggressive to live with people."
"You've basically got an animal with no future at all," said Tarry, a former head of animal care at the Calgary Zoo.

The Lorna's Laces was a quick knit - and the zig zags were easy and fun. I took the pattern from Scarf Style - the formula from the back of the book, which was really simple - the LL was just a little too short for the scarf - even at kid length, so I added some stripes. And instead of pom poms, we went with tassels - since they look more like pony tails, I am told. Apparently life has a unicorn theme these days.
Am now moving on to my next recent purchase - the Malabrigo. This stuff is a new favorite - the same beautiful colors as Manos, but even softer. I am making Coronet - the cabled hat from Knitty. (If I was really inspired, I'd have added a link there, sorry.) The skein seems huge, so there might be a coordinating scarf next.
Once I finish these few small projects, I'll get back to Grace. Just needed a short break before I begin the back!

Bomb kills NH MarineBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM and MEGHAN PIERCE
New Hampshire Sunday News
June 21. 2014 7:51PM
Lance Cpl. Brandon Garabrant, a 19-year-old from Greenfield who loved being a Marine and a firefighter, gave his life for his country Friday.
Garabrant was one of three Marines killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, where he was serving in the final months of America's combat mission there, according to officials.
He was the son of John Garabrant and Jessie Garabrant and had a younger brother and sister, Jacob and Mykala.
Jessie Garabrant, who lives in Rindge, said her son was an extraordinary person. "He was such a good kid, with such a good heart, he's going to be missed by a lot of people," she said.
"It's too bad he had such a short life. But he did make the most of it, and he did go out doing what he loved," she said. "I just wish I could have one more conversation with him."
The family plans to be there when Garabrant's body arrives at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. A second dignified service will take place when he arrives at the Manchester airport, which could come as early as Tuesday, she said.
The first time she and Brandon met with a recruiter, they both knew being a Marine was his calling, she said.
"Part of it was serving others, and the other part was the brotherhood that came along with being a Marine. And the fact that he earned it ... was overwhelming for him. That was just his dream."
Garabrant, a 2013 graduate of ConVal Regional High School in Peterborough, became the focus of national attention last year after his request to graduate in his Marine Corps dress uniform was turned down. He chose not to fight the decision and to graduate in traditional cap and gown "out of respect for the USMC and ConVal," he said at the time.
His death has rocked his many friends, classmates and loved ones.
Last evening, members of the Temple Fire Department draped black and purple banners at the fire station, "just to let people know that we've lost a firefighter," said retired Fire Chief Michael Connolly.
Connolly was chief when Garabrant asked to join the department at the age of 17, before he was old enough to serve officially. The teen had been an Explorer for Peterborough fire and police and had the training to do the job, Connolly said.
So the Temple department let him come on board as sort of a junior member, and "we voted him in on his 18th birthday," he said.
Garabrant "was a Marine from day one," Connolly said. "That's all he ever talked about, ever since I knew him."
But he also loved the fire service and would have made a fine full-time firefighter, the chief said. "He did everything perfect, attended every meeting and drill, and every call that he could.
"He was just an all-around good kid," Connolly said. "Everybody liked him on the department. I know he'll be greatly missed."
ConVal Principal Brian Pickering said Saturday that counselors will be available at the school starting at 8 a.m. on Monday for any of Garabrant's friends who need help coping with his death. "We are deeply saddened by Brandon's passing and incredibly grateful for his service to our country," Pickering said.
Garabrant had worked at Touchstone Farm, a nonprofit educational and therapeutic riding organization in Temple. His friends there posted their own message of mourning yesterday:
"With deep sadness we have learned of the ultimate sacrifice USMC Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant has made for our country. Our grief is palpable and we are honored to have worked by your side.
"All of our thoughts and prayers turn to his family; we hold you up for strength and in our hearts for warmth. 'It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would be if it had never shone.'"
Kate Williams, owner of Kate's Cuts in Peterborough, has known the Garabrant family for more than a decade. Brandon's death was all anyone could talk - and often cry - about at her salon Saturday.
Garabrant, she said, was "everything you want your boy to become."
She remembers he always had a "flat-top" haircut like his dad's when he was a kid, and he would offer to let new stylists practice the difficult cut on him. "He would even give hints to the stylist on how to make it easier," Williams said. "He just wanted to help others and make people safe and happy. The world has lost a real gem."
She last saw Garabrant two months ago when he was home on leave before deployment. "He came in to give me a hug goodbye."
Williams told him it was good he was going now, as the war is ending, and told him to come home soon. "That's the plan," he replied.
His death is all the more shocking because of the timing, she said. "It just makes you realize it's not over and that too many of our guys aren't coming home, and it's too sad," she said. "It breaks your heart."
Garabrant recently had shared his experiences in Afghanistan on Facebook, where family and friends sent back messages of encouragement and pride.
On April 4, as he was preparing to leave Camp Lejeune for Afghanistan, he wrote: "Going to do what we do best. Fighting for our country, our brothers to the left and right, our friends and families back home. So that you can have the right for freedom and to live the American dream without fear of anything. May God be with us on this journey. Guardian Angels be watching over us and protecting us.
"This is what I signed up for. Here comes a long journey into the unknown. I love all my family and friends."
The next day, he posted a photo of his newly shaved head - "cause it's tradition."
His mother wrote back with a passage from the Bible's book of Joshua: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
On April 16, Garabrant wrote that he was "loving life in Afghanistan so far ... I'm doing well and still going strong. Love you guys and thank ya'll for your support."
On April 28 came evidence that the war truly was winding down: "...as time goes on here, things are starting to get very rare and certain places are being shut down, if you would like to send me a care package or even a letter then please do so."
Just eight days before his death, he posted the forecast for "Camp Leatherneck," calling for daytime temperatures between 105 and 113.
"You would be freezing here, it's only 56 & raining," his mother wrote back.
And his father posted: "Drink plenty of water ... Love you buddy thanks for being there for all of us!"
Garabrant's final post was on June 15, congratulating girlfriend Ashley Gryval on her high school graduation. "Can't wait to come home and see all the pictures of it!" he wrote.
Late Friday night, after she learned of his death, Gryval posted her own final message to him: "You will always be in my heart boo."
That night, his mother also posted this tribute to her oldest child: "The high price of freedom is a cost paid by a brave few."
And a quote Garabrant posted in March was rendered even more poignant by his death: "Only two defining forces have offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom."
During the controversy over Garabrant's graduation apparel last year, Williams hung a sign of support in the window of her salon: "Brandon deserves to wear his uniform."
Yesterday, a new sign hung in her window: "Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant RIP. You are a true hero! We love you & will miss you!"

ELBURN – Trustee Bill Grabarek smiled and paused for a second Monday night before signifying that, at last, he was ready to cast his vote to support the Elburn Station annexation agreement.
Board members voted unanimously to approve the plan, which clears the way for the ShoDeen development that is slated to bring 2,215 new homes to the village over 20 years. It also removes an obstacle to the extension of Anderson Road, a project that would create a bridge that would provide a crossing of the train tracks that divide the village. Kane County officials had been concerned that $21.7 million in federal, state and local funding could be lost if the debate over Elburn Station were to continue through the summer.
County Board member Drew Frasz said if all goes well, construction could begin by September. Tom Rickert, the deputy director at the Kane County Division of Transportation, said the bridge could be completed by the end of 2014.
Grabarek's vote was key. Throughout the months leading up to a vote, Grabarek had brought up point after point, seeking to clarify every detail. He did so again on Monday, and board members brought up nine items to amend before agreeing to the vote. In October 2012, it was Grabarek who introduced a motion to table discussion on the plans.
Frasz said Grabarek deserves credit for playing such a key role in the process. When the vote was complete, Frasz applauded.
"This will be Bill Grabarek's legacy, that this is done right," Frasz said.
The plan has seen some changes over the last few months. For instance, the number of multifamily units is restricted to 600, and of that total, 200 must be designated as senior housing. Also, the village worked to split the cost of a planned pedestrian bridge. The changes brought up Monday were characterized as minor by village attorney Bob Britz, who said he expected ShoDeen would approve the changes.
The process also has included comments by residents – both in support and in opposition to the plan. But no residents spoke on Monday night.
After the vote, Grabarek said he was "glad we got this moved." He said he didn't think the vote would be accomplished on Monday night. Village President Dave Anderson then made a statement thanking "a number of people involved in this project," including board members, village officials "and most importantly, the residents of this village."
Also on Monday, the board approved lifting its ban on video gambling, by a 5-1 vote. Trustee Ken Anderson was opposed to the measure. Before the vote, he asked board members to ask themselves whether it made Elburn a better place. Grabarek acknowledged he previously supported the ban on video gambling, but he said there are more controls in place now than there had been before. In a nod to Ken Anderson, Grabarek suggested that the village could revisit the decision down the road, or ask residents in a referendum.

Aleksander Emelianenko Doomed to a Pair of Can-Crushing Blue Balls
(Video courtesy of YouTube/limonadoss)
There is no greater crime than to be deprived of sharing your gift with the world. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but to let a god-given talent die on the vine is unforgivable, yet this seems to be the fate of one Aleksander Emelianenko. You see, after fighting in a series of meaningful, competitive battles, Aleks found his true calling as a can-crusher. Each morbid beatdown was a sight to behold, a gift to the masses. Sadly, we are now being robbed of that gift. Sure, he's still standing across the cage from lesser competition, but they are a dangling carrot that he cannot bite, a mirage in the distance that he'll never actually reach. Observe:
We first caught a glimpse of this phenomenon when Aleks squared off against Eddy Bengtsson. After a scant forty seconds, Bengtsson succumbed to a phantom punch and deprived Aleks the joy of a brutal finish. Fast-forward to last Friday evening, where Aleks took to punching
heavybag journeyman Tadas Rimkevicius. To his credit, Rimkevicius seemed game to trade until Emelianenko really started to swang them thangs, which forced "The Lithuanian Bear" to dig deep into his bag of tricks (check out that rolling kneebar at 5:20 and tell me that Tadas isn't the bastard child of Oleg Taktarov and Ryo Chonan). Ol' Rimke actually catches Aleks with a left hand and drops him as the round draws to a close, which was possibly the closest anyone came to being legitimately put away in a bout that ended via TKO.
After the jump, Aleks gets cut off at 'second base'.Read More DIGG THIS

I'm a Yegge fan-boy, and his most recent post mentioned Gödel, Escher, Bach - the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas Hofstadter. Which got me to thinking...
A couple of programmers/bloggers I respect have the book on their must-have lists: Joel, Stevey. And most programming bloggers refer to it reverently.
I tried to read the book shortly after graduating college. I didn't finish it, because it was incredibly boring and repetitive and boring ... and repetitive. Turns out many don't finish the book, no surprise to me.
I'll repeat myself (in the spirit of GEB I should probably recurse), GEB was a complete snoozer. It reminded me much of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged - another snoozer. There's only so much repetition I can stand.
I'm sure I missed all the puzzles and word-play - I certainly didn't get to the end where Hofstadter's characters discuss books that end before the final page (a joke that took 700 pages to set up).
Perhaps the book provides a path to enlightenment to people who are not familiar with recursion, self-reference, and the incompleteness theorem. Or, maybe there is enough wordplay and "charming" dialog to get you to wade through all 800 pages (there is that one nearly at the end).
I'd have been happier if the book were condensed to 150 pages.

Yes, not an easy book to read. However, I did read it (over 25 years ago now it must be) and found it extremely worthwhile.

GEB is one of those books that requires a pencil and paper in order to really get the full effect. Many people just want to read a book without all the fuss. But GEB is worth the effort.

I guess my point/gripe was that after having a course on the theory of computing (e.g. Theory of Computation) the book felt like a series of kiddie stories explaining things I already knew.

I'm in total agreement with BFW here, that book's been collecting dust on my shelf for neigh on a decade now, with the bookmark wedged about 1/3 of the way through it. A constant reminder that either a) it was too hard to get through, or b) I have no patience... or more likely, both.

COUPEVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Twenty properties on a scenic island hillside were damaged by the massive landslide in Washington state that displaced 200,000 cubic yards of earth, or about 40,000 dump truck loads, officials said Thursday.
Not all the affected properties suffered structural damage — some lost portions of their yards, said Christopher Schwarzen, a Snohomish County spokesman drafted to assist Island County.
Thirty-five homes were initially evacuated after Wednesday's slide on Whidbey Island, 50 miles north of Seattle. One home was destroyed, and four homes remained under evacuation orders Thursday night. No one was injured.
Geologists from the state Department of Natural Resources said the slide area is part of a much larger landslide complex that may date back as far as 11,000 years. The landslide into Puget Sound lifted the beach as much as 30 feet above the previous shoreline, the geologists said in a preliminary report Thursday.
The front of the landslide at the beach is about 1,100 feet long and extends about 300 feet into the sound, the report said.
While the ground continued to move Thursday, the geologists said the land will slowly try to stabilize itself.
"The chance of another catastrophic movement is low, but possible," their report said.
No damage estimates were available yet.
Authorities continued to monitor the slide and began constructing a gravel path to provide access to more than a dozen homes that were isolated when a road washed out.
The area "still has a bit of slippage here and there," said Terry Clark of the Island County Emergency Management Department. "It can be a handful of dirt to a barrel-full. It's still an active event."
On Thursday, "road closed" signs were being posted to prevent access to some areas as geologists continued to examine the site. At the bottom of the slide, pieces of grass from yards and ornamental tress could still be seen.
"It's probably one of the largest ones we've seen in Washington state, much less along the coast," Clark said of the landslide. "We're used to little slides here and there, but this happens to be way beyond what our expectations were."
Pete Kenny was visiting to help move his grandmother to Illinois and said he heard the landslide as he watched power line transformers explode.
"The landslide started right at the property line and went south of us," he said.
Kenny said his grandmother's home and a neighbor to south have not been evacuated. That neighbor lost a portion of yard.
"It's a real sad situation. I just hope everything works out," he said.
Most of the homes are summer cabins or weekend getaways and were unoccupied. Some are larger, upscale properties and others are more modest dwellings.
Local restaurants were serving free meals to those who needed them, and bed-and-breakfast cottages have also offered free rooms for a couple of nights. Community members were offering to volunteer, Clark said.
The island is about 35 miles long, north to south, and just a mile or two wide in places.
Clark remained awestruck by the event.
"Amazingly enough, the house that was totally destroyed actually rode on top, all the way down," he said.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Page High School teacher has resigned after inappropriate pictures of him surfaced on a photo-sharing site.
Guilford County Schools officials say 27-year-old William Saunders resigned on Friday after officials confronted him about photos he posted to his Instagram account.
A montage shows several photos of Saunders, including a naked shot in which he is cupping his genitals. A student shared the photos with a school resource officer, who notified school officials.
District officials say the photos violate their social media policy.
Saunders started working for Guilford County Schools in 2004 and served as a marketing teacher. He was named Guilford County Schools "Employee of the Month" for December.

As if nine months isn't a long enough wait for an expecting mother, one Louisiana mom had to wait six weeks after giving birth to meet her newborn daughter.
In late May, Amber Scott experienced a blood clot in her brain that was caused by a ruptured blood vessel. That same day, her husband Tommy's phone calls to Amber had gone unanswered and when he arrived home at the end of his workday, he found out why. Amber was lying unconscious in a bedroom in their home and was immediately taken to the hospital.
Plus: Brain-Dead Mother Gives Birth to Twins
An emergency c-section was performed to deliver the couple's daughter, who was born healthy, and then the attention was turned to saving the unconscious mother. Amber underwent brain surgery, which succeeded in stopping the bleeding in her brain, though the swelling remained. Still unconscious, Amber began her journey to recovery.
After gaining and then losing consciousness periodically throughout the weeks, Amber finally awoke at the end of June. Even though she had gained consciousness, she was still not well enough to hold her daughter. But this past weekend Amber met her six-week-old daughter for the first time.

Amber is currently undergoing physical therapy to help regain her speech and motor skills. As for her prognosis, her husband says, "It's hard to say. We take it day by day." Their daughter has been released from the hospital and will continue to visit her recovering mother.

I am playing around with the idea of adding an anonymous chat to my sencha touch app.
my requirements are very simple:
-single chat room for everyone
-user publishes message to everyone (pub/sub only)
-no need for user authentication - users are anonymous
I just want to know if sencha io is a good place for such an implementation. as its an anonymous chat, I only need a single user that probably everyone will use, only one queue, etc...
am I right here?
also, I ado I even need a user/user group/app/app version etc? i only need a queue for my app that everyone can connect to. I definetly don't want users to log in with credentials to use this feature (cause they'll simply not use it)
thanks in advance.

With the flame comes the games.
After years of preparation and months of buildup, London's Olympic moment has finally arrived.
Royal Marine Martyn Williams is poised to rappel from a helicopter carrying the Olympic torch on Friday night, dropping down within the stone walls of the Tower of London. The grand entrance plunges the symbol of the games into the city's historic heart, bringing Olympic pageantry to the British capital that last held the event in 1948.
For Londoners, it ignites a time of tremendous excitement -- as well as four weeks of extreme crowds and transport strains.
Organizers have tried to smooth the way. London Underground subway lines are festooned with big magenta and pink signs pointing routes to the Olympic venues. Cartoony ads with wide-eyed horses and beefy musclemen warn commuters to remember that Olympic competitions are taking place and to rethink their daily journeys. Barriers are being erected to mark the special traffic lanes for vehicles connected to the games -- disparagingly dubbed "Zil lanes," after the limousines granted exclusive use of the outside lanes of Soviet highways.
Londoners who already struggle to get to work on any given weekday aren't convinced all will be well -- and haven't been shy about saying so. The atmosphere of gloom has been segmented by the never-ending rain and a constant stream of headlines about the failure of security contractor G4S to provide enough guards.
The mayor has a message for the naysayers: "Put a sock in it."
"We've got an advanced case of Olympo-funk," Mayor Boris Johnson wrote in an op-ed piece in The Sun newspaper. "We agonize about the traffic, when our transport systems are performing well and the world's athletes are arriving on time. ... We gnaw our fingernails about the blinking weather, when it seems to be brightening up a bit -- and anyway, it's England in July for goodness sake and a spot of rain never hurt anyone."
Ready or not, the games are a reality. Olympic banners in hot pink, acid yellow and lime green have painted London in neon. The tubby Cyclops-like mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville, are dancing around central London tourist attractions in a desperate bid to be huggable. The city's famous red double-decker buses are sporting ads flogging the last of the unsold Olympic soccer tickets.
The stadiums themselves are nearly ready. At the athletes village, Cuba and Denmark have been the first to drape flags off their balconies. The Olympic clock ticking down the days in Trafalgar Square has reached single digits.
Olympic historian Martin Polley said the flame's arrival in London has significance.
"The symbolism is that the country has now all had a piece of the Olympics, and now the capital takes over," he said.
It was only weeks ago that celebrations marking Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee sent Britons into a spasm of patriotic flag waving and "God save the Queen" singing as they watched a flotilla of 1,000 boats on the River Thames. Will the flame's arrival inspire the famously inhibited British to do it all again -- to cheer and wave and weep and be inspired -- as the torch relay winds through every one of the city's 33 boroughs?
Could be -- if the first 62 days of the torch's travels are any indication.
The 8,000-mile torch relay has already been a cultural happening across the length of Britain, drawing crowds out to meet it wherever it goes. Spectators in rain ponchos have flash-mobbed to its side, hoping for that once-in-a-lifetime chance to touch a bit of history. Some have even stood by the side of the road to see the trucks that carry the torch between cities, as it fulfills a promise to travel within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of 95 percent of Britain's population.
"Both the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics are like carnivals or tribal festivals," Kate Fox, the author of "Watching the English," wrote in a British Airways survey on the games. "We behave in ways we wouldn't normally behave -- dancing in the streets and waving flags and shouting and cheering and indulging in other wildly disinhibited acts, such as maybe even talking to strangers."
Britons were even more committed to the flame before the last London Olympics in 1948, when the torch was actually run in a relay from the site of ancient Olympia in Greece. Janie Hampton, author of "The London Olympics: 1908 and 1948," said runners traveled continuously day and night, traveling along the way through two countries -- Greece and Italy-- engulfed in civil war. Crowds emerged to see the 1948 flame even in the middle of the night.
In Britain it was such a draw that police outriders had to push people back as the flame neared the stadium for its showcase moment of lighting the cauldron, Hampton said.
"There is one event in the Games which has captured the imagination -- the carrying of the lighted torch from distant Olympia to the Stadium at Wembley," The Times newspaper wrote on July 28, 1948.
"We think of the torch's journey, passed from hand to hand, crossing the boundary of one country after another ...The torch itself, quite apart from its symbolism, is something which, like a lance or a banner, a coat of mail or a jerkin of Lincoln green we can love purely for its own sake. It has a somber glory."
This time the flame has been to every corner of the United Kingdom ahead of its showcase moment at the Olympics' July 27 opening ceremony. On Friday it will be on day 63 of its 70-day journey that has included travel on boats, planes, horses and hot air balloons. It's been carried by Olympians and Paralympians.
The queen's granddaughter, Olympic equestrian competitor Zara Phillips, has shared the honor with 84-year-old Moira Starkey, who walks with two canes and was honored for completing a marathon last year by walking around her town hall 1,876 times to raise money for charity.
If the Beijing relay set up the 2008 Summer Games as China's coming-out party on an international stage, London's relay has set up Britain as the community Olympics -- not flashy or dashy, not big or spectacular, but warm and well attended.
Organizers had always assumed the world would be excited about the games but were not sure what people in Britain would think -- particularly given taxpayers will be paying $14.7 billion to host the event at a time of economic austerity.
There's also the fact that so much activity is focused on Olympic Park in London. There had to be some sense that other parts of the country were involved -- that the Olympics also belonged to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
But the numbers -- some 9 million people have viewed the torch so far -- forced city planners further down the route to keep rethinking their plans. Britain has had to pour more money into crowd-control plans for London during the Olympics after acknowledging that it underestimated the crowds that would turn out to see the flame.
Whether they are coming just because it is a local happening, or because people are moved by the fairy dust of the games, it's hard to say. A torch leg features sponsor buses blaring music, streamers and tambourines, cheerleaders shouting things like "Go torchbearer!" cameras and media.
It's not really clear how the capital will respond to the hoopla. This is a place where major events happen with some frequency.
But one thing is for sure. Flame(equals)Olympics.

About Homer Dodge Martin
Homer Dodge Martin began as a Hudson River School painter of detailed panoramic scenes of the Adirondacks, but later adopted a more gestural Tonalist style, producing intimate landscapes of melancholic wilderness. Martin was a loner and introvert, a reader of John Keats and Henry David Thoreau: his late landscapes were poetic expressions of subjective experience. Some of his finest work was painted in Normandy, France, whose coastline and misty weather were the inspiration for his expressive paint handling that verged on Impressionist technique, but with a more somber palette. Towards the end of his life, dying of cancer and with his eyesight failing, his paintings became even more visionary. As a contemporary critic wrote: "Martin did not absorb nature and then pass it through the prism of his own consciousness … but himself passed into nature and became once more conceived in her…"
American, 1836-1897, Albany, New York

Biography: Santa Monica represents the epitome of the Southern California beach lifestyle. This seaside location has been featured so frequently in movies and television shows that it may seem instantly familiar. Like nearby Venice, Santa Monica's resort appeal stretches back over a century. Beachside chic combines glamorous shopping, a thriving downtown, and the energy of the many entrepreneurs who have launched startups in the area.
Real Estate: Santa Monica's real estate is as varied as its citizenry. There are a variety of homes for sale, from beachy bungalows to new construction luxury homes. Condominiums are also available and there are many multi-unit apartment complexes with units for both sale and rent.
Community Life: The Santa Monica lifestyle is a mix of laidback beach style with a side of Los Angeles hustle. Outdoor living is the order of the day whether it is biking along the strand, strolling along Montana Avenue or taking an outdoor fitness class in the park while enjoying an ocean view.
Santa Monica doesn't just have one farmers' market it has four separate farmers' market events spread throughout the city.
Third Street Promenade has just about every major shopping brand, all located within a few blocks, along with many restaurants and bars. What can't be found at the Promenade can be found at Santa Monica Place, an open-air mall renovated several years ago.
Those in need of a fitness challenge can brave the Santa Monica Stairs, which are well known for providing a great cardiovascular workout.
Education: The city is served by the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. Local schools include Roosevelt Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, Grant Elementary School, John Adams Middle School, and Santa Monica High School. Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences offers a college-preparatory experience for elementary school through high school. Other local private schools include Carlthorp, New Roads, and Saint Monica's Catholic High School.
Transportation: Accessed by the 10 Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica is also highly bikeable and has received honors for being bike friendly. The Big Blue Bus runs several routes throughout the city and the city is also served by L.A. Metro.
Local Attractions: The Santa Monica Pier is a popular draw for tourists and the lighted Ferris wheel can be seen for miles away at night. The Museum of Flying at Santa Monica Airport is an airy structure with planes and exhibits that chronicle the history of flight. For beachside fun with a slice of nostalgia, check out the Annenberg Community House, built on the location of the demolished 110-room summer home built by William Randolph Hearst.


text: LiteSpeed has made a built-in cache functionality (an advanced feature for Enterprise 2+CPU license) available since version 4.0 (March, 2009), and keeps improving throughout the later 4.0.x releases and 4.1RC releases. As of 4.1.1 (May, 2011), private cache support is added. LiteSpeed cache has similar features as Apache mod_cache but implemented in a more efficient way, and works like Varnish. It is an output cache for dynamic contents, so the usage does not limit to PHP pages. Unlike Varnish, it is built into LiteSpeed web server, eliminating one layer of reverse proxy. Hence more efficient for static contents. The uniqueness of LiteSpeed cache is that it uses rewrite rules (either in configuration files or .htaccess) to control its behavior for maximum flexibility. A general way to enable LiteSpeed Cache through rewrite rules is to designate a signature token (such as cookie) in a page (or any page) in most cases to tell LSWS that cache can be enabled and TTL(Time To Live) of the cache freshness however acceptable. Generating cookie usually requires application code modification. Refer to http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=4679 for example. It is worth noting that the cache function SHOULD ONLY be used for the pages that are supposed to be cached or cache friendly. Abuse use of this feature would result in performance degradation and/or other unexpectancies. Since 4.1.1 (May, 2011), private cache support is added. Private cache is for caching resources for individual specifically instead of public shared. The purposes are: maintain a persistent cache for applications that do not have a shared cache. maintain a private persistent cache for specific groups of documents that are not to be shared among other applications. Here are the steps to enable LSWS built-in cache: 1. Enable cache function at Server level in LSWS LSWS Web Admin Console->Server->Cache Cache Storage Settings->Storage Path: set to a fast local disk, e.g. /tmp/diskcache (set it to a ramdisk such as /dev/shm/lsdiskcache if enough extra memory can be spared to speed up further) Manually create the directory from shell, and give write permission for litespeed/lshttpd processes (assume running as "nobody" here): Code: # mkdir /tmp/diskcache # chown nobody:nobody /tmp/diskcache # chmod 700 /tmp/diskcache 2. Set Default cache policy at LSWS Server level LSWS Web Admin Console->Virtual Hosts->mytest->Cache -> Cache Policy Note: Even though Cache is disabled globally at Server Level, it will be enabled through rewrite rules. That's the way supposed to be. Cache Request with Cookie can be set to Yes as long as cookie does NOT affect the generated page. Use it carefully. *Set "Enable Private Cache" to Yes to turn on private cache. Private Cache is pertinent to each individual user/browser. This is to speed up performance even for logged-in user or cache for individual instead of public. 3. For imported Apache vhost: Cache can be turned on/off with "CacheEnable" , "CacheDisable" directives in Apache config file. Nothing needs to be done for the cache policy. It will assume the same default settings at LSWS Server level. Rewrite rules can be placed in httpd.conf or in-directory .htaccess file as shown in step 5 below. Note: Apache mod_cache directives CacheIgnoreCacheControl, CacheMaxExpire also can be used in the Apache config file as well as .htaccess to fine tune cache policy. 4. For native LSWS vhost: Setup Cache Policy (LSWS Web Admin Console->Virtual Hosts->mytest->Cache -> Cache Policy) Note: those with not set, settings at LSWS Server Level will be assumed. 5. Create/Add rewrite rules for caching % Code: RewriteEngine On ## cache should be available for HEAD or GET requests RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD|GET$ ## select which pages to cache RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} page_contain_cachetoken=yes # with other condition RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !s=[a-fA-F0-9]{32} # excluding certain URLs RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(login|register|usercp|private|profile|cron|image) \.php$ # cache for 2 mins for php pages only RewriteRule /(.*\.php)?$ – [L,E=Cache-Control:max-age=120] # for those not met above condition, enable private cache. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD|GET$ ## select which pages to serve from private cache RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !page_contain_cachetoken=yes # with other condition RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !s=[a-fA-F0-9]{32} # excluding certain URLs RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(login|register|usercp|private|profile|cron|image) \.php$ # private cache for however long set in cache policy for php pages only RewriteRule /(.*\.php)?$ – [L,E=Cache-Control:private] These rules can be placed in either of the 3 locations below: .htaccess (last line needs to changed as follows.) Code: RewriteRule (.*\.php)?$ – [L,E=Cache-Control:max-age=120] RewriteRule (.*\.php)?$ – [L,E=Cache-Control:private] VirutalHost secion in Apache config file LiteSpeed native configuration: Web Admin Console -> Configurations -> Virtual Hosts -> Rewrite 6. Restart LSWS to make changes effective. Admin Console -> Actions -> Graceful Restart or issue '/path/to/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart' from command line. 7. Verify if pages are served from LSWS cache Since 4.0.19 release, LiteSpeed outputs a response header "X-LiteSpeed-Cache: hit" if a request is served from cache.Since 4.1.1 release, LiteSpeed outputs a response header "X-LiteSpeed-Cache: hit,private" if a request is served from private cache. 8. Cache clean up (Optional) Setup a cronjob to purge outdated cache file on disk and add the following entry in /etc/crontab Code: */10 * * * * root find /tmp/diskcache -type f -mmin +8 -delete 2>/dev/null Note: The cronjob deletes cached files that are more than 8 minutes old every 10 minutes. Since the cache TTL is set at 120 seconds (2 minutes), it's safe to delete those old files that are way passed TTL. Rewrite Rule Examples: Cache everything for 2 mins (Simple!) Code: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule cacheable/(.*\.php)?$ - [L,E=cache-control:max-age=120] Note: Only cache *.php files in "cacheable" directory. As pointed out previously, it is a good practice to cache only the files that are supposed to be cached. Only cache the page with certain signature Code: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) index.php # this part is for public cache. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD|GET$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !loginuser RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} !^/index.php$ RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} !^/administrator/ RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} (\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=300,L] Note: This example demonstrate how LSWS cache rewrite rules fit in application's rewrite rules. The first part is from application (such as joomla). Essentially everything goes through index.php (joomla framework) to process. Second part of rulesets indicates that LSWS only cache HEAD and GET type request AND The request doesn't contain loginuser in cookie AND %{ORG_REQ_URI} i.e. original request (Note: %{ORG_REQ_URI} is LiteSpeed specific variable. In this case, it keeps the value of %{REQUEST_URI} prior to rewrite to index.php in the first part) does not start with /index.php and not start with /administrator/ AND %{ORG_REQ_URI} ends with .php or .html or .htm or etc. The TTL of cache is 300 seconds (5 minutes). This example shows private cache GET|HEAD for logged-in user Code: ... # this part is for private cache, note that HTTP_COOKIE is for loginuser RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD|GET$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} loginuser RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} !^/index.php$ # admin area cache be cached for admin user. hence remove this rule # RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} !^/administrator/ RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} (\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:private,L] Note: The rulesets indicate that LSWS only private cache HEAD and GET type request AND The request DOES contain loginuser in cookie AND %{ORG_REQ_URI} i.e. original request (Note: %{ORG_REQ_URI} is LiteSpeed specific variable. In this case, it keeps the value of %{REQUEST_URI} prior to rewrite to index.php in the first part) does not start with /index.php and not start with /administrator/ AND %{ORG_REQ_URI} ends with .php or .html or .htm or etc. The TTL of cache is however long set in cache policy for private cache.

Emerging infectious diseases may be defined as diseases being caused by pathogens only recently recognized to exist. This group of diseases is important globally, and the experience of the last 30 years suggests that new emerging diseases are likely to bedevil us. As the global climate changes, so changes the environment, which can support not only the pathogens, but also their vectors of transmission. This expands the exposure and effects of infectious disease and, therefore, the importance of widespread understanding of the relationship between public health and infectious disease. This work brings together chapters that explain reasons for the emergence of these infectious diseases. These include the ecological context of human interactions with other humans, with animals that may host human pathogens, and with a changing agricultural and industrial environment, increasing resistance to antimicrobials, the ubiquity of global travel, and international commerce. * Features the latest discoveries related to influenza with a newly published article by Davidson Hamer and Jean van Seventer * Provides a listing of rare diseases that have become resurgent or spread their geographic distribution and are re-emergent * Highlights dengue and malaria, as well as agents such as West Nile and other arboviruses that have spread to new continents causing widespread concerns * Includes discussions of climate influencing the spread of infectious disease and political and societal aspectsCDC (2006) Preventing tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis among adolescents: Use of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccines. ...

Missionaries with Ebola Could be Brought to US
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says it's looking into options for bringing back two American missionaries sick with Ebola in Liberia.
It would be the first time the disease was brought into the U.S.
Samaritans Purse Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, a missionary with the aid group SIM (S-I-M), remain in isolation. SIM USA President Bruce Johnson says Writebol is receiving an experimental drug.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said that while the U.S. government would facilitate any transfer to the U.S., private companies would be used to transport them.
Late Thursday afternoon, officials at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital said they expected one of the Americans to be transferred there "within the next several days." The hospital declined to identify which aid worker, citing privacy laws.
The hospital has a special isolation unit built in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control. It is one of only four facilities of its kind in the United States.

CBE Professors Daniel, Delisa, Paszek, and Shuler receive the first Robert F. Smith Innovation Fund seed grant
Protein-based therapeutics currently represent one in every four new drugs approved by the FDA. Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is an approach that involves mixing the essential raw materials and biological enzymes together in 'one-pot' to produce batches of high-value biological products, eliminating the need for cell culture. At present, proper glycosylation represents one of the most significant challenges in the biomanufacture of human protein drugs and is a significant challenge in CFPS.
Many enzymes involved in glycosylation are membrane-bound and lipids are necessary for enzyme activity. To successfully adapt CFPS in a manner that rivals the cell itself, reactions must be organized in proper spatial and temporal sequence in a membrane.
In this collaborative project, the elegant compartmentalization strategies used by cells will be mimicked in a microfluidic biomembrane platform that organizes biological reactions in proper spatial and temporal sequence. The advantage of using a microfluidic platform is that environmental conditions can be maintained, other unit operations can be fabricated in-line for further processing steps, and resulting products can be used to fuel downstream reactions. Such an approach can rival the cell itself in terms of product selectivity and minimization of side reactions.

U.S. airlines, through industry group A4A, will lobby the United States' newly-elected president as soon as he takes office on an issue that has triggered threats of a trade war.
All year, an international row has raged over the European Union's decision to include all airlines using its airports in its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), designed to curb planet-warming pollution.
Continue Reading Below
The European Union says it is protecting the environment. U.S. opponents say it has breached sovereignty to try to fill its empty coffers. Both houses of the U.S. Congress have passed rare blocking legislation - yet to be signed by a president - to counter the EU law.
This week, the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation organization (ICAO), based in Montreal, is expected to take another stab at moving towards a negotiated solution.
The European Commission, the EU executive, has said it can change its law if the ICAO comes up with a robust global framework to limit airline emissions.
The problem is almost no-one thinks the ICAO can deliver in time, if at all, prompting warnings of rounds of retaliation.
Meanwhile, the airlines are campaigning for a dispute procedure, referred to as Article 84, which would stall the ICAO process, perhaps for years.
"We are spending our time pushing Congress to pass legislation that addresses this issue and urging the White House to move past diplomacy and toward legal action with an Article 84," Sean Kennedy, top lobbyist at A4A, told Reuters.
"There's no brinkmanship here. It's not a question of if an Article 84 is filed, it's just a question of when," he said.
ICAO dispute procedures, used on rare occasions when nations disagree over the body's practices, are extremely lengthy, in an organization generally renowned for its slowness.
They have to be brought by member states, meaning A4A has to pressure the U.S. Administration, following this week's presidential election. Whether Democrat or Republican it could be receptive on an issue that has won unusual bipartisan support in Washington.
The European Commission, the EU executive, said it only agreed its law after more than a decade of inaction at the ICAO.
Last year, the European Union's highest court, the European Court of Justice, found the law to be valid, rejecting a case brought by U.S. airlines.
To hasten the quest for a global alternative, officials from the European Union - which as a bloc is only an observer at the ICAO - are working with the U.N. body.
The aim is to get enough positive signals to avert a crisis when airlines receive their first emissions bills in April after a slow phase-in of the EU law finalized in 2009.
"The question is how to get past April," one diplomat said on condition of anonymity. "If we get into rounds of retaliation, it will be much harder to find a solution."
The EU law applied to all airlines using EU airports - not just EU carriers - from January 1 this year.
From April, airlines will have to turn in allowances bought on the EU ETS, after emissions for 2012 have been calculated.
Those that do not comply face fines. Repeat offenders could find their aircraft impounded.
Although the United States is the biggest opponent, China and India also missed an interim deadline for submitting data. India has threatened that the issue could derail international climate talks in Doha later this month.
European Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard at the end of October reiterated her hopes the ICAO will do enough.
"We think that there is a will on the part of the leadership of ICAO and we have people up there now seeing how much progress can be achieved this November, paving the way for substantial decisions to be taken at next year's ICAO general assembly," Hedegaard told Reuters.
The general assembly takes place once every three years, with the next scheduled for November 2013 - the earliest date for a solution to be finalized under ICAO procedure.
Between the April deadline and next November, lawyers say EU flexibility could cool tempers even if rhetoric still flies.
"I think the EU will not execute (the fee collection) right away, nor will they impound aircraft. However, they could allow the fines to keep accruing, and then, if there is a solution in November 2013, the fines could be waived as part of the settlement," Renee Martin-Nagle, visiting scholar at the Environmental Law Institute, who also served as general counsel to Airbus America , said.
"This would be a graceful, face-saving way out of the impasse."
