The Maroon A LOYOLA TRADITION SINCE 1 923 • "FOR A GREATER LOYOLA" ONLINE EDITION AT LOYOL.AMAROON.COM FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 Vol. 87, NO. 5 Body in Mind MONICA VO / Contributing photographer Above: University of lowa professor Gigi Durham discusses the media sexualization of young girls and her book "The Lolita Effect" in Monroe Library Sept. 21. Below: Dr. Veronica Gillispie speaks to students during "Girls's Night In" for Love Your Body Week on Sept. 23. Five new student senators sworn in By JEAN-PAUL ARGUELLO Assistant News Editor The Student Government Association freshmen election results are in after few days' delay, with three out of five senators being appointed by SG A senate after elections because there were no candidates running for those seats. The delay "mainly had to do with scheduling conflicts and several issues with blackboard," said Ita Duran. general studies business junior and SGA commissioner of elections. Jared Brooks, mass communication freshman and the only student running opposed, was elected to be senator of the College of Social Sciences. He said he doesn't have an agenda for what he wishes to accomplish this year yet, but he is interested in hearing students' concerns. Haley Humiston. music education freshman, ran unopposed for class Events bring up women's issues Love Your Body discusses self-image By JOHN ADAMS Senior Staff Writer Raising self-esteem and accepting your body was the Women's Resource Center's message for Love Your Body Week. The National Organization for Women started the Love Your Body campaign in 1997, said Karen Reichard, director of the Women's Resource Center. "It was created to help promote bpdy image and self esteem — most specifically for younger women — sort of as a reaction to some of the societal expectations that are out there that lead to women having bad body image and low self esteem," Reichard said. Reichard said they took a holistic approach to the event by focusing on all the aspects of being a human being. Yoga Jet classes on Sept. 21 and Sept. 23 focused on the physical. Speakers focused on the intellectual side. A seminar on the power of mediation covered sSpiritual and emotional aspects. "We got help from Athletics and Wellness, University Ministry, Student Affairs, faculty members. Dining Services," Reichard said. "So it really is an across-the-campus event." Reichard believes the message of Love Your Body week is important for college-aged students. "The students that are firstyear students who are making that transition from the safety net of being at home, to all of a sudden being on their own and trying to navigate all sorts of the new things that are coming at them and having to maintain a good sense about themselves can be challenging," Reichard said. The first seminar was a lecture by M. Gigi Durham, the author of "The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It." Vesna Milojevic, sociology senior, believed the lecture brought great discussion on the media's Corrections: A Sept 18 Life I fines article about students studying abroad misidentified the director of the Center for International Education. She is Debbie Danna, not Tori Buckley. A Sept. 18 news brief incorrectly stated the circumstances of Brent Miller's murder. He was discovered stabbed to death in a barracks while many inmates were having breakfast Two of the men convicted of his murder remain in solitary confinement. SHANE HENNESSEY / Assistant photo editor Bookstore renovations completed By EDUARDO GONZALEZ Senior Staff Writer The renovations to the university bookstore, which is now run by Follett Higher Education Group, have become official since the Grand Opening Celebration held Sept 24. Bookstore officials hosted the event to show the community new features it has to offer. There was music, craft making and a faculty author spotlight. "We want to showcase the new products, the space and celebrate that Follett was chosen as Loyola's bookstore provider," Ivon Fascio, bookstore manager said. The event was originally going to be held during the summer, but then bookstore officials decided to have it during the school year "to let everyone know we are here," Fascio said. The event was a joint effort by people on campus, such as Marcia 'Cissy" Petty, vice president of Student Affairs and associate provost, as well as Robert Reed, assistant vice president of Student Affairs. "It has been a process, but I've been working with Dr. Petty's office and Mr. Reed to get their input," Fascio said.

BRE License# 30252
What is the Las Vegas Market Like?
With Foreclosures in Vegas at an all-time high, the
inventory has risen to a level where supply has outstripped demand. The old law of supply and demand in this case
means that with inventories so high, the prices are ridiculously low. So low that even Builders can't compete. Welcome to the best Buyer's market in over 2
So, there is Good
news, Bad news, and Great news. The Bad
News is that for anyone who bought in 2005 and 2006 at the height of the
feeding frenzy, you are probably under water.
However, if you are part of this group, there is potentially some good
news and we can help. There is Great
news for anyone who is interested in buying a home either to live in or as an
investment. Prices of homes in the Las
Vegas Valley are at their lowest since in the early 1990s, making homes so
affordable, the sales rate is at a 2 year high.
This brings us to an interesting intersection. Because Prices are so amazingly affordable
today, investors and Buyers who only a few years ago were shut out of the
market by the excessively overpriced homes are now flooding into the market and
picking up these bargains at a break neck pace, making 2010 the 3rd busiest
year on record for Las Vegas. And 2011
shows no signs of slowing. The result is
that it is not unusual to see anywhere from 3 to 10 offers on new listings
within 48 hours of hitting the market.
This has had the effect of causing homes to sell for anywhere from 5 to
20% above list. The prices are still phenomenal,
but a buyer should not expect to buy a home for significantly under list. Still, the prices are 50 to 70% less than the
peak of 2006, 2007.
Sign up for our Daily
Top 10 Foreclosure Hot Sheet below, and you will begin to receive at no
obligation a free list of the best deals in the Las Vegas, Henderson area. If you have more specific needs, let us know,
and we will prepare a customized Foreclosure Hot Sheet just for you. If you are just curious about what kind of
bargains there are, this is a great way to start.
If you are ready to start looking, simply email of call

and/or selling plans. Call Steve Matthews on his cell phone (702-491-HOME
(4663)) or send us an email (firstname.lastname@example.com); we'll set up a time
to meet that is easy and convenient for you.

working with you!

ALDI Opening Hours in Australia
ALDI is one of the popular retail supermarket chains in Australia and perhaps the third largest after Coles and Woolworths. Like many Australians, I have been a fan of Aldi for a long time. There are a lot of things to love about ALDI such as great prices and no-frills service model. However, my only gripe with ALDI is their opening hours. Coles and Woolworths have been constantly stretching their opening and closing times and most of their stores are open from 6am to midnight which makes it very convenient for busy families to shop at their convenience.

Bob Baker Movies
Puppeteer Bob Baker may not be as well known to the public as, say, Bill Baird, Gerry Anderson, or Jim Henson -- he never had a weekly television show. He has entertained audiences since the early '40s, however, and his movie and television work includes such highly regarded cult films as Edgar G. Ulmer's Bluebeard (1944), George Pal's renowned Puppetoons films of the 1940s, appearances in (and on) such '60s pop culture touchstones as the original Star Trek television series and Bewitched, and work with the Disney studio for decades. His theater and production company, Bob Baker's Marionettes, founded in 1963 by Baker and his partner, Alton Wood (1912-2001), has become one of the more renowned sources of puppet-based entertainment in the country, and has served as a training ground for artists who have gone on to work with George Lucas and other major producers and directors in the field of fantasy films. Baker's own interest in puppets started before the age of eight -- he was already a budding puppeteer before he was in his teens and worked with local companies in Los Angeles. While a student at Hollywood High, he also began designing and manufacturing marionettes that were sold in America and overseas. Baker gave his first professional performance for director/producer Mervyn LeRoy. At the age of 18, soon after graduating from Hollywood High, Baker went to work for producer/director George Pal on the latter's near-legendary Puppetoon shorts, which delighted audiences during the early and mid-'40s. Baker's talents also got him a showcase in one of the most beautifully played B-pictures of the decade -- in 1944, he was engaged by director Edgar G. Ulmer and the art department at Producers Releasing Corporation to design and, in association with another puppeteer, perform the puppet show attributed to John Carradine's mad Gaston in the film Bluebeard (1944). Meanwhile, he advanced quickly through the ranks of Pal's organization, moving from apprentice to head animator on the Puppetoons in barely a year. Baker was employed by several movie studios (including the Disney organization) after WWII as an advisor in the art of animation. In 1949, he met his older contemporary, Alton Wood, a musician who switched his field to puppetry -- the two formed Bob Baker Productions, with Wood serving as the chief performer as well as business manager and Baker doing the designing and manufacturing.
They played county fairs and art festivals and, beginning with the B-thriller Hunt the Man Down (1950) at RKO, their work also moved them into feature films, 400 at last count, including Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks and the Elvis Presley feature G.I. Blues. Almost as soon as television became a viable medium, they moved onto the small screen, in commercials, series, and variety shows, including The Hollywood Palace and The Dinah Shore Show. Baker's puppet of a one-eyed, tentacled sea monster graced Roger Corman's first film as a producer, Monster From the Ocean Floor (1954), and was just convincing enough to make the ultra-low-budget movie a success. He also provided the giant bat-rat-spider that moved so eerily and hauntingly through Ib Melchior's The Angry Red Planet (1959); and it was Baker manipulating Beauregard, the highly animated plant spooked by the "salt-vampire" in the first Star Trek episode ever broadcast, "The Man Trap." His work was featured in "Night of the Puppeteer," an episode of The Wild Wild West TV series; and Baker made an on-camera appearance as a puppeteer in the 1971 Bewitched episode "TV or Not TV." Bob Baker's Marionettes, which Baker founded with Wood in 1963, is the oldest children's theater company in Los Angeles, and has been a training ground for such renowned younger special effects and puppetry experts as Trey Stokes. Baker continues to work with film organizations, including Disney; he has designed a line of collectable marionettes that are still sold by Disney, and he was also responsible for the marionettes in the movie Geppetto (2000), starring Drew Carey. In 2000, he was interviewed on camera for the DVD release of Ulmer's Bluebeard, and provided color home movies that he had taken at the time, of the shoot and the cast and set, and, of course, his puppets. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Add Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death to top of Queue
In this outing from Aardman Animation, Wallace has converted his home into a granary complete with a fully functional, old fashioned windmill (patent pending) on the roof, and as a result "Top Bun" has become one of the hottest bakeries in town. But all is not well in the neighborhood, because more than a dozen local bakers have gone missing in the last few months alone. Now, as Wallace falls head over heels for former Bake-O-Lite bread girl Piella Bakewell (voice of Coronation Street star Sally Lindsay), Gromit attempts to solve the case of the missing bakers before his hapless master becomes the latest dough-roller to vanish without a trace. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit to top of Queue
Eccentric inventor Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) and his faithful if often perplexed dog Gromit are back in their first feature-length adventure from animator Nick Park. Wallace and Gromit have launched a new business venture just in time for a major gardening competition in their neighborhood of West Wallaby. "Anti-Pesto" is a humane pest-relocation service in which Wallace and Gromit capture rabbits and other critters who have been eating the produce from local gardens and give them new homes somewhere else. Business has been going well, and when the woman hosting the garden show, Lady Tottington (voice of Helena Bonham Carter), discovers a massive tribe of rabbits has been making a mess of her garden, she calls in Wallace and Gromit to move the bunnies elsewhere. Wallace is quite taken with Lady Tottington, but he's not the only one -- Victor Quartermaine (voice of Ralph Fiennes) is a slick but arrogant upper-class type who wants to win Lady Tottington's hand (and fortune) and is convinced he can do a better job capturing the rabbits than Wallace. However, Wallace's attempts to brainwash the rabbits away from veggies using his latest invention has disastrous results, and soon Wallace has to deal with a beastly bunny as well as a heavily-armed Quartermaine. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit followed Park's previous film with the duo, A Close Shave, by ten years, and was produced after Park broke through to mainstream success with the feature Chicken Run. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A Close Shave
The third film to feature the claymation adventures of Wallace and Gromit, A Close Shave finds the inventor and his dog with a new business, new friends, and a new adversary. As the story begins, the team has decided to open a window-washing service, with Wallace providing clever gadgets while Gromit does the real work. Yet Wallace continues inventing in his spare time and has recently built a new device, the Knit-O-Matic, to clean and shear sheep -- which comes in quite handy when a lost lamb takes refuge in their home. Wallace and Gromit soon discover that this lamb has escaped from a pair of evil sheep rustlers who want him back. The mastermind of the rustling scheme turns out to be Preston, a dog belonging to local wool-shop proprietor Wendolene Ramsbottom; complicating things further is the fact Wendolene is also the object of Wallace's romantic affections. When Preston frames Gromit as the rustler and plots to steal the Knit-O-Matic, the pair must find a way to save the sheep and themselves. Director Nick Park once again mixes inventive animation with deviously clever plotting and whimsical humor, a combination that won him his third "Best Animated Short" Oscar. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

The Wrong Trousers
The second short film to feature the claymation antics of eccentric inventor Wallace and his dog Gromit, The Wrong Trousers sees the duo become unwitting accomplices to a jewel theft. The trouble begins when, struggling to make ends meet, Wallace decides to take in a boarder - a mysterious penguin. At first, Wallace and his new tenant get along famously; indeed, the penguin forces Gromit out of his room and into the doghouse, literally. However, the bird is not what he seems: Gromit discovers that the penguin is actually the infamous burglar Feathers McGraw. Feathers has his eye on Wallace's most recent invention -- a pair of mechanical trousers that can be programmed to automatically walk on their own -- believing the device will help him steal a world-famous diamond at the local museum. When Feathers traps Wallace inside the trousers, Gromit must find a way to stop the malicious penguin and save his friend. This Oscar-winner for "Best Animated Short" works both as a hilarious parody of film noir and as an exciting, action-packed adventure in its own right, combining skillful visual design and superb animation with inventive, witty storytelling. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Life insurance may sound like something you only have to think about when you get older, but there are a variety of benefits to buying life insurance early on in your working career. Even if you don't have a family that is dependent on you, or if you feel that your employer's life insurance policy is adequate for your needs, there are many reasons why you should consider taking out your own life insurance policy.
If your employer provides you with a life insurance policy, you shouldn't necessarily rely on it. While many companies may offer life insurance as one of the key benefits of a job, the figure often doesn't cover enough to be of adequate benefit to your family - especially in the event of your death. For instance, many firms may offer life insurance that is one or two times the amount of your annual salary; but most financial planners will recommend replacing that with life insurance that covers up to 10 times your annual salary.
Furthermore, it is always important for consumers to be aware of types of life insurance they can choose from: essentially, there are two types of life insurance: term insurance or investment type insurance. Term insurance will provide benefits to your family or your dependents if you die during the proposed period covered by your policy. Investment-type life insurance, also known as, "permanent insurance", will include endowment policies and "whole of life" policies. This type of life insurance remains in effect for as long as you continue to pay your premium. Essentially, part of this premium will go to an investment account; so, as well as paying out in the event of your death, it will build up in investment value - which you can actually cash in before you die. This is a great reason to invest in life insurance when you're younger - the earlier you buy, the higher the investment value that will accumulate during your lifetime, and the more you may be able to reclaim when you're older.
Perhaps the most crucial piece of information to keep in mind during your search for life insurance, however, is the importance of shopping around. It is vital to ensure that the insurance you eventually invest in is the most suitable for your particular needs; so, as well as thinking about how much you can afford to pay, it is essential to think about what you actually need from life insurance cover.

LAKEWOOD — Rob Molholm walked up to his team, choked up with a lower tone than normal in his voice. The usually vociferous Evergreen Cougars football coach was emotionally wounded by his team's 47-14 season-ending loss to Silver Creek at Trailblazer Stadium. "My heart's broken. They're good kids," Molholm said. "You know if you have a wife or kids, but this is my family."
The following is the 4A Jeffco League all-conference selections for 2013 in softball and gymnastics:
BROOMFIELD — Right place, right time. The Evergreen Cougars made it a habit to back up most, if not every, shot they took on goal against No. 2 seed Broomfield. The results were rebound goals by Cole Mitchek and Borja Garcia as part of Evergreen's 4-0 upset of the host Eagles in the 4A boys soccer state quarterfinals on Nov. 2.
THORNTON — Chancey Hines knew that her team could've done better. The first-year Evergreen head coach had that look about her in the aftermath of the 4A state gymnastics team competition Nov. 1 at Thornton High School. "It wasn't the best of days for us. We had a lot of mistakes starting from floor and all the way through bars. It was just hard to regain our confidence," Hines said after Evergreen, despite scoring a season-best 176 points, placed third in this year's competition.
Evergreen's varsity football team, coming off a 41-0 win at Summit to cap an 8-2 regular season and an undefeated 3A Metro West Conference slate, will host Silver Creek in the first round of the 3A state playoffs. The game is scheduled for Nov. 9 at 1 p.m., at Trailblazer Stadium in Lakewood. The Cougars locked up a second league title in three years two weeks ago with their win over Alameda. Silver Creek (7-2), which placed second in the 3A Tri-Valley, won the 2012 state championship with a 32-15 win over top-seeded Rifle.
The following are the 4A Jeffco League all-conference selections for 2013 in boys tennis and boys golf:
BOYS TENNIS FIRST TEAM No. 1 singles: Tom Hudson, D'Evelyn; Colin Mulligan, Wheat Ridge; No. 2 singles: Sam Hoelscher, D'Evelyn; Luke Camp, Evergreen; No. 3 singles: Matthew Jordan, D'Evelyn; No. 1 doubles: Caleb Rold/Kevin Kalkus, D'Evelyn; No. 2 doubles: A.J. Jordan/Dustin Ethridge, D'Evelyn; No. 3 doubles: Spencer McKay/Ellis Murray, D'Evelyn; No. 4 doubles: Nik Geschwentner/Brad Meier, D'Evelyn
COLORADO SPRINGS — Camille Morales said that she couldn't have said it any better, but it's seemingly true when it comes to Evergreen High School cross country. It's not about the individuals as much as it's about the program itself. That truth has never been more so than it was in 2013.
Griffin Dorsey was on such an emotional high after Evergreen's thrilling, almost unbelievable 3-2 victory over Windsor on Oct. 23 that he didn't want to come down. Who could blame him? The Cougars freshman scored an improbable, if not impossible, goal with 2 seconds remaining to send the host Evergreen High crowd into a frenzy mere seconds after the 4A boys soccer state playoff opener seemed destined to go into overtime.
By Craig Harper For the Courier
LITTLETON — Caitlin Schmitt and Cat Moss finished second and third, respectively, and Evergreen had four runners in the top seven as the Lady Cougars won the 4A Region 1 cross country championship on Oct. 17 at deKoevend Park. Evergreen finished with 37 points to easily top Jeffco rival D'Evelyn, which finished second with 73 points. The Evergreen boys, who had four runners finish in consecutive order from eighth through 11th, also won a team regional championship with 60 points. Ponderosa was second with 88.

By Thomas Pope Sports editor
Josh McQuade was a record-setting scorer as a junior hockey player in his native Ontario.
So during the summer of 2011, after a phone conversation with former teammate Chris Leveille about the Fayetteville FireAntz, McQuade decided to leave college and join Leveille in the pros.
That said, McQuade wasn't teeming with confidence about making the grade. When he arrived in Fayetteville for camp with the Southern Professional Hockey League team, his luggage consisted of his hockey equipment, two pairs of pants and four T-shirts.
Fast-forward a season and a half later, and McQuade has more than simply found a spot on the roster. Heading into today's 4 p.m. home game against Knoxville and coming off a hat trick Friday night against Columbus, he leads the SPHL in both goals (33) and points (56).
"I'd be surprised if he's back in this league next year," first-year FireAntz coach Mark DeSantis said, adding that the 23-year-old would flourish even more in the less-physical leagues in Europe in the future.
The way McQuade has performed, opposing coaches might consider buying him a first-class ticket overseas right now.
Among them would be Augusta's Mark Richards, who added the coaching role to his duties as general manager after the RiverHawks endured an awful start. McQuade has burned Augusta for 14 points in nine games, including a pair of hat tricks, and that kind of output has Richards rethinking his defensive strategy.
"We've really never schemed for anybody in particular - but maybe we should start," Richards said.
"What I see in him is tremendous knack for the game. His hockey IQ is really high. He anticipates plays very well, puts himself in a great position, offensively speaking, most of the time, and obviously is skilled enough to capitalize on his chances."
The fact is, McQuade's always given opposing teams fits.
When McQuade played with Leveille on the Newmarket Hurricanes, a junior A team in Ontario, he scored 60 points in 47 games. The next year, with a different junior A team, he racked up 80 points in 39 games.
In 2009-10, with the Brantford (Ont.) Eagles, he set a conference record with 150 points, and he was selected the Ontario Hockey Association's Most Valuable Player. During that season, he went on tears of 30 and 29 points in stretch of nine and eight games, respectively.
He earned a scholarship to the University of Western Ontario, but he left after one season - "It wasn't the right thing for me at the time," he said - to join the FireAntz. He got off to a slow start as a pro, but finished as productive scorer, collecting 48 points in 52 games on a team that struggled from opening night under a first-time head coach, Sean Gillam.
"I'm the type of player if I'm not going to be a part of the playing time, then I can't really do much, right?" McQuade said. "I was basically the 10th forward - Justin MacDonald and me were switching back and forth - and it kind of got me upset. I wasn't confident in myself.
"After Christmas, I started playing a little more, got a couple of goals here and there, and kept putting up points. That gave me more confidence, so I went into the summer and worked hard."
Much of the offseason, he said, was focused on improving speed and footwork; things such as devoting more time to running sprints instead of taking a 30-minute jog.
But it's more than sheer speed that makes McQuade dangerous with the puck, said 6-foot-4, 220-pound defenseman Andrew Smale, a six-year veteran of the higher Central Hockey League beforing signing with the Antz this season.
"Other than speed, he's just shifty. The other night, two guys came and hit him at the same time, he somehow gets loose and hits (Kyle) McNeil backdoor for a goal. Most guys can't do that," Smale said. "He's really good at changing directions really quick, so as a defenseman, you have to play off him. If if you rush at him, he's going to beat you nine times out of 10, and those nine times, he's probably going to score on eight of them."
McQuade's offensive knack is similar to that of to the franchise's career scoring leader, Rob Sich, a two-time SPHL MVP who scored 63 goals in the 2009-10 season.
But that's where the comparison ends, because while Sich's focus was scoring, McQuade has exerted considerable effort into becoming a better defender. DeSantis played 15 years as a minor-league defenseman, and team captain Bobby Reed has also worked with McQuade to help shore up the admitted deficiencies in his game.
The results are noticeable, said Columbus coach Jerome Bechard, who said he tried to trade for McQuade late last season with the Antz doomed for the cellar.
"When comes down to it, defense is nothing but hard work. ... Just from watching him as outsider last year, he's obviously got the dedication of being good both ways - the work ethic that really allows you to become good in your own end," said Bechard, whose Cottonmouths won the 2011-12 SPHL championship.
"There's more to the game than scoring goals. If you can't help prevent them, too, it doesn't help your hockey team."
DeSantis was hired to be Fayetteville's coach in June. He said he didn't know much about McQuade other than "there was some talent there" with his scoring production as a rookie.
"But what comes with it? How's his attitude, all that stuff. The bad season that the team had last year, how was that going to affect him coming in this year?" DeSantis said.
After talking with McQuade, DeSantis decided to make him one of the team's alternate captains as a confidence booster. McQuade, in turn, has responded with points in 30 of Fayetteville's 39 games. And he's maximizing his playing time by avoiding penalties; through Friday's game, only 20 minutes.
"His hockey sense offensively? You can't teach offense; that's a gift," DeSantis said. "He gets at least three breakaways a game. He just knows where to be, picks his spots, and he's got a great little shot. ...
"The good thing about Josh, too, is that (he) makes players around him better. If two guys are going to start keying on Josh a little more, he's good enough to find the open guy. That's hockey sense."
Teams higher up the hockey ladder have probed his interest in leaving the FireAntz in midseason. He has said no because there are things he wants to accomplish with the team.
"I'm really comfortable right here, I'm happy with the coach we have now, I have so much confidence right now, I don't want to be put on a third line and be a grinder," he said. "If someone wants to give me a tryout next year, for sure, but right now I want to keep going.
"Our first goal, the team goal, is to win a championship. Personally, I don't really come to set a goal. I like to score, I'm a goal scorer, but I did set a goal of 25 goals - because it was more than last year - and I've done that. I just want keep it up, and I'm not going to get cocky about it. I'm going to keep working hard and keep scoring for this team."

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Peat - Energy Markets
At the present time, the principal producers (and consumers) of fuel peat are Ireland, Finland, Belarus, Russia, Sweden and Ukraine.
Total consumption reported for 2004 (IEA, 2006) was 17.3 million tonnes. Recorded production was considerably lower, at around 13.5 million tonnes. The balance of supply came out of stock, a normal feature of the peat supply/demand picture, reflecting the substantial (and unavoidable) year-to-year variations in peat production occasioned by the weather prevailing during the harvesting period.
Peat consumption for energy purposes outside Europe is essentially negligible at present. The sectoral breakdown in Europe (including all of the Russian Federation) in 2004 was: power stations, CHP and heat plants 69%, input to briquetting plants 15%, residential use 8%, industry 6% and other users 2%.

"The truth is, with the rise of China, we do not have to take any deal Europe throws at us that comes packaged with permanent poverty, incompetent volunteers and the occasional Nato bomb." – Kenyan author and journalist, Binyavanga Wainaina.
Wainaina's statement refers to the growing relationship of trade and investment between the emerging superpower, and the world's second largest continent. The author's comments also express a faith in the idea that Chinese investment is the answer to Africa's development. We know that trade and investment are some of the key requirements for overcoming poverty, and some will welcome this as an improvement from years of foreign aid hand-outs. However, is Wainaina's sense of security with the Chinese truly justified?
Last month, Niall Ferguson released a documentary series exploring China's ascendency to economic superpower. The series also asked what China's growing global presence could mean for the rest of the world (Episode 3). In today's blog, using Niall's documentary, we ask whether China's expansion into Africa will help or hinder development across the continent.
Ferguson shows how 40 years ago, China had a smaller economy than Britain's - now it is on course to overtake the USA as the largest economy in the world. To sustain this unparalleled growth rate, China's economy needs to continue growing at a rate of 7% a year.
Ferguson's documentary starts by focussing on Zambia's experience of Chinese expansion. Copper mining in Zambia is big business for the Chinese, as they need this key resource to supply factories in production. One of the factories in Luanshya, (the Copperbelt province) generates between 2000 - 3000 tonnes of copper a year. Almost all copper produced in this factory is said to be shipped back for use in China. As we've blogged about before, China has played a significant role in developing petroleum industries in oil rich parts of Africa - to serve energy demands back home.
So what about the Zambians? What do they get in return? We are shown what, at first, appears to be a mutually beneficial relationship between the Chinese and the Zambians. China receives highly sought after resources such as oil, copper, and other minerals and the Zambians receive employment and infrastructure. China commonly funds construction of infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports and dams – mainly to facilitate the transportation of extracted resources across the vast continent. The Chinese have also been known to present gifts to the countries they are working within. In the series Ferguson visits a new hospital and a colossal football stadium in development. But what do these gifts actually represent? Are they really just a sign of friendship and partnership between the two nations? Or are they a way to win over those concerned their nation is being surreptitiously robbed of its resources? Although the construction of vital infrastructure serves a positive purpose for many impoverished communities, it can also be argued that it acts as an extension of foreign aid. It could serve to create another tie of dependence – "Africa relies on China for development". This is frustrating at a time when the continent should be looking towards African led development.
These developments do result in some employment for Zambians, but Ferguson looks at the terms of employment under the Chinese. He visits a brand new hospital in Tanzania. Here we are introduced to the Chinese manager of the project, who describes that he has only had 3 days off in the 10 months he has been living in the country. When asked about the quality of Chinese labour vs African labour, the manager clearly favours the Chinese, ridiculing the comparative laziness of the African workers. Furthermore, there appears to be a significant influx of Chinese workers, despite there being many locals who are willing and able to work. So the promise of employment for local communities is not always realized.
In 2012, workers in one Chinese owned Zambian mine rioted over pay and working conditions. In one scene we meet the local Trade Union leader, and we get to hear the grievances of the miners she is representing. All voiced similar concerns regarding pay and treatment by the mine owners. So does working under the Chinese in Africa mean working for longer hours and little pay?
China's presence in Africa appears to be a long term one. Although the benefit of Foreign Direct Investment in lifting people out of poverty is clear, we should not embrace blindly the idea that China or any major investor is the cure for poverty. Ferguson's documentary shows the need to strengthen African industries; to shake off dependency and create long lasting change and development that comes from within the continent.

September 14th, 2007: Hey, thanks to Cracked for included me in the great company on their "8 Funniest Webcomics" list! Every comic on that list comes highly recommended from me, Ryan! Also thanks to Gene at the Washington Post, who agrees with T-Rex's opinion on "begging the question". Woo!
I got a bunch of emails yesterday and today about The Shrinking Kilogram, which tells about how the Prototype Kilogram Which You Could Steal If You Wanted is shrinking. It's funny how the mainstream news picks up on a story like this (just about every email I've received comes from a different news source) because it's not capital-N News, in that this mysterious shrinkage has been known for years. A secret cabal that controls what's "news" today, newspapermen copying and pasting each other's links like bloggers, or merely the fact that they all pull their stories off the same wire? YOU DECIDE.
Anyway if you don't know about it: the official kilogram that determines how much a kilogram weighs is evaporating and nobody knows why. That, in a phrase, is "pretty neat". That's how science adventure stories start, cats and kittens.
Also Luke emailed this news story a while back and forgot to post it! The headline says it all: Sex Quenches Thirst Of Female Beetles.

Late last year I attended a Google seminar where they suggested that, instead of mirroring keywords in the creatives, what tends to be generating a higher CTRs were creatives that offered the benefits of the product or service being offered. One of the reasons stated for this was the fact that all creatives were looking fairly similar and that something fresh would stand out more and attract more attention. I diligently went back to the office and implemented these ideas into some of our client campaigns for both Google and Yahoo listings. We ran a few different creative ideas but whatever we tried, CTRs dropped.
Keeping in mind that there might have been other factors involved such as seasonality and just a run of bad creative ideas, although I am sure that the latter could not have been true :-) , this did not seem like a very profitable experiment. After a few months we returned to the original creative formula of mirroring and CTR results for our test client campaigns shot up again.
I was wondering if anyone else has experimented with this idea and what results you had achieved and what thoughts you could share with me and the forum readers.
For example, if your key phrase is "luxury holiday in Crete" then the title and/or description should have the words "luxury", "holiday" and "Crete" in them, as opposed to something like " Great low prices on holidays to Crete". The general idea behind this is that if someone is searching for "X", then we say that we have exactly "X". I hope that this makes sense? Regards,
Frank -
Hi Frank,
Adprecision has done a lot of work in this area of optimising keywords, creatives and landing pages for SEM agencies.
We work with a number of large and small SEM agencies who use our system to automatically write the ad-text for each keyword group based on the client's product feed. For example.... if your client has 30 different 2 - 5 star hotels in Paris, the Adprecision system will automatically generate the keywords related to these hotels e.g. 2 star hotel in Paris / in April / May/ June / July etc along with all the different hotel names. It will then write the ad-text automatically for Google Adwords and Yahoo SM including important elements such as hotel names, prices, star ratings, board basis and hotel descriptions. Using the tools you can also define the rules to select which product offer "wins" each keyword. The ads are then frequently refreshed in Google and Yahoo to ensure accuracy.
The end result means that a) you spend less time cutting and pasting large spreadsheets full of keywords and creatives and b) get better response from your ads.
For an example do a search on Google for "Flight to Lanzarote in May" - our auto generated ad for XL.com contains the keyword and vital information for the user.I'd be happy to share more info with you about this area.

I applaud the idea of generating new creative regularly - but what about quality score?
My understanding was that a modification of a creative meant that you lost the existing quality score for the keywords related to that creative?
So that would mean higher CPC until you had regained a quality score.
Is this correct?
Just a word of caution here.
While a high CTR can be good news in reducing your average CPCs or drawing more visitors to your site, it is only suitable if there is no adverse affect on your subsequent on-site conversion.
For example, you may make your creative more appealing (therefore increasing your CTR), but it may become less targeted (so the visitor is less likely to convert into a customer) and your ultimate ROi will decline.
According to the 2 or 3 experts & google reps I've asked about this over the last couple of months, your score isn't reset when you change creative (or display/destination URLs) - it's just re-evaluated using the old quality score as the base level.
I think there must have been some bad reporting early on, because I was under the same impression as you initially.
Re the quality score issue when creative is changed - I agree that this used to be a problem up to about 6 months ago in that the ranking of an ad would dramatically reduce every time we made a refresh of the creative. Now however it does not affect rankings when we make a mass change of creatives thorugh the Adprecision system via the Adwords API. With some clients we are regularly changing the Google creatives, keywords and / or URLs twice a week based on their product feed leading to some considerable improvements in ROI.
With Yahoo (Overture) we can change the keywords, creatives and URLs daily without the hindrance of going through editorial approval every time a change is made.
This technology is available for clients and agencies to use to reduce the amount of time involved in managing / changing large campaigns and improving ROI through better quality ads.
Sorry if this is a blatent sales pitch, but we've actually been through blood sweat and tears in building a tool that can significantly aid SEM marketers in their day-to-day work whilst accommodating all the idiosyncrasies of the different search engines.

adidas Top Ten 2000 "Blackout"
November 2nd, 2012 by John Kim | 9 comments
After a couple of colorways reminiscent of but not directly tied to familiar basketball aesthetics plus a couple more pairs with clear connections to the NBA's two most popular teams by metro area, the adidas Top Ten 2000 has some serious momentum. Here comes another new colorway we've come to expect from the majority of popular b-ball kicks these days, as the Feet You Wear podular design takes on a blackout look at the start of a new season. Have a closer look at these so you can let us know which ones have been the best of 2012 and grab yours straight from adidas.

The Republican party, many say, is at a crossroads — pundits warn ground zero lies between the establishment Republicans and the tea party. The left salivates at the perceived fissure, hoping to divide conservatives.
When the calendar flips to 2014, it will mark the third anniversary of the only New Year's resolution I've ever kept. My not-so-flat abdominal muscles and rising cholesterol are testaments to this truth.
Before the City Council stands a proposal that homosexuals and their sympathizers insist is simply about equal pay for equal work. Taxpayers should be glad to award spousal benefits to employee's gay partners; doing so will improve the quality of the work force and be fair to gays, whom otherwise are disallowed from receiving benefits as might husband and wife.
If you walked up to anyone on the street in Chattanooga 20 years ago and told them that, within a couple decades, this city would be one of the most cosmopolitan places in the Southeast, that person would have probably laughed at you. But when taking inventory of today's demographic landscape, it becomes apparent that we live in a very diverse and culturally nuanced city, especially when compared to most of our regional peers.
What's any church to do, not just Ridgedale Church of Christ, when what has been wrong for 2,000 years is — backed by like-minded liberal judges — judged to be right.
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, reverted to playground rules last week when he declared that two television networks — preparing what are likely to be fawning biopics about presumed 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton — would not be involved in hosting GOP presidential primary debates.
Last week, the Hamilton County Commission approved a resolution to open a $550,000 health clinic for county employees.
One of Andy Berke's first orders of business after he was sworn in as Chattanooga mayor was to plead with the City Council to allow him to turn in the city's proposed 2013-14 fiscal year budget up to three months late. Berke reasoned that because of the massive overhauls he planned for city government, the delay in presenting the budget was necessary — and it would be worth the wait.
In President Obama's speech at Chattanooga's Amazon distribution center on Tuesday, he laid out a series of steps that he believes will help create jobs and revive the U.S. economy. Realistically, the overwhelming majority of his ideas were illogical schemes to increase government spending and allow government to hand-select winners and losers in the marketplace.
Catoosa County Commissioners will meet today to consider a property tax hike of 1.519 mills to pay for an irresponsible budget which proposes to spend $2.2 million more than the county can afford.
As part of his latest pivot to the economy, President Obama visited Chattanooga to … well, I'm not sure what he hoped to accomplish. Perhaps he wanted to demonstrate that he cared about the economy. Maybe he wanted to divert attention from the various scandals plaguing his Administration.
President Obama, Welcome to Chattanooga, one of hundreds of cities throughout this great nation struggling to succeed in spite of your foolish policies that limit job creation, stifle economic growth and suffocate the entrepreneurial spirit.
The President should pick up an economics textbook during his visit to Amazon in Chattanooga.
President Obama arrives in Chattanooga today. With Air Force One and an army of staff and Secret Service, his presence will be impressive. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of his record on jobs, economic development, or anything of importance to working Americans right now.
For several decades now, Democrats have been the political party of choice for the overwhelming majority of black Americans.

Orientations of French cooperation in support of urban governance
2007 marked an historical turning point: cities are now home to half of the world's population. The next two decades are expected to bring an explosion of urban growth, 95% of which will take place in developing countries under the combined influence of rural exodus and demography.
This rapid growth of the developing world cities is one of the major challenges that humanity must face in the 21st century, with consequences on the planet's social, economic and environmental stability. The battle of climate change in relation to development will also unfold in metropolises. Tomorrow, development will be an essentially urban issue in cities where, paradoxically, concentrated levels of hardship and hope will converge.
Uncontrolled urban growth creates a process of social and spatial segregation, rendering the challenges of fighting poverty, managing space and protecting the environment even more critical. An estimated one billion people in the world already live in informal districts or slums lacking the most basic urban services such as drinking water, sanitation, waste management and transportation. These disadvantaged populations suffer from land insecurity, which creates tension and precariousness. These populations are also most vulnerable to the risks generated by environmental degradation and pollution affecting watercourses, groundwater and the air.
Cities in developing countries are therefore a magnifying mirror of development issues, in particular with a view to achieving the Millennium Develop ment Goals (MDG). At the same time, on a daytoday basis, they are the center of economic and social development, of democracy's reinforcement via local authorities; of culture; of individual emancipation. While they crystallize adversity, they also hold precious solutions to be discovered through the prism of urban governance.
Cities are relational hubs, the turf on which cooperation between all public and private players takes place, helping decompartmentalize sectoral policies so that their different levels may become interconnected. Cities enable the creation of synergies, helping resolve challenges that have become far too complex to be handled at a single level by a single player.
Inspired by the concept of democratic governance, urban governance surpasses the frameworks of urban administration and management. It consists in adopting methods of action and decision-making using a partnership-based approach involving, among others, the most disadvantaged inhabitants. Experience has shown that, beyond any technical or financial constraints, the well-distributed participation of all players in the development and implementation of public policies is an essential condition to meeting the needs of the majority more efficiently. In addition, through such collaborative processes, urban planning and development provide an opportunity to learn about local governance and institutional building, thereby helping to build democracy from the "bottom up".
In response to this new challenge, in July 2007, we launched a study into urban governance with all French players involved in urban cooperation: the State and its public establishments, territorial collectivities, associations of cities and elected officials, companies and private design offices, technical, scientific and research organizations, universities, professionals and non-governmental organizations.
This concerted action led to the "Guidelines ofFrench cooperation on urban governance", which present the common vision of French players as well as our prospects for cooperation in this area. Centered on the building of institutional and human capacities and on the support to consultation processes, these strategic orientations emphasize the importance of providing support in the following areas: basic services for all (a major challenge in achieving the MDGs), land security, economic development and strategic planning, in order to ensure well-managed urban development.
To bring these strategic guidelines to life, the French Alliance for Territorial Development was launched in July 2009.
This unique approach allows French urban cooperation players, in all their diversity, to work together in a consistent, coordinated way at the international level, thus embodying the special attention paid by France to the global challenge of building sustainable, solidary cities.

The World From Your Airplane Window
A science writer's guide for the inquisitive air traveler.
- By Brian Clegg
- AirSpaceMag.com, February 07, 2012
Airport gates are traditionally numbered, with one exception: You'll usually find that gate 13 is missing. Although few people truly suffer from triskaidekaphobia, the number 13 is still often regarded as unlucky, something airlines and airports are enthusiastic to avoid.
Of course, in airports with no Gate 13, some passengers still consider gate 14 unlucky because 'it's really gate 13'. To prevent this from happening, Gate 12 in London Heathrow's Terminal Four is at one end of the building, and Gate 14 is at the other end. As you never see the two gates side by side, it's not obvious that Gate 13 is missing.

Thank you for this very interesting and informative article. As a regular flyer myself, and a former student pilot, I would like to suggest adding some more information about what a passenger can see from the vantage point of sitting just behind the wing. I have had lots of fun looking at the control surfaces on the wing -- ailerons, spoilers, flaps -- and using what I see in the deflections of those surfaces, particularly the ailerons to deduce what the pilot is doing.
For example, on a landing approach, from my view out the left window just behind the wing, I see left ailerons deflected downward, indicating that there is a crosswind component from the right, causing the pilot to slip the airplane to the right to correct for the crosswind.
I have also seen pilots using spoilers to slow the airplane to safe turbulence penetration airspeed during straight and level flight, and also once, when there was a steep descent required due to traffic conditions on approach to a very busy international airport. That was a thrilling adventure as the pilot on that flight was also using thrust reversal together with spoilers in order to maintain safe airspeed.
Flaps of course, are quite obvious when landing or taking off.
I know, I have been verbose here, but if I could use some pictures, everything would be much clearer.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Thrust reversers used in flight? No way, they are interlocked that they can not be used unless the plane is on the ground.
Posted by John Bell on February 12,2012 | 12:31 PM
@John Bell: Yes, many aircraft are certified for in-flight use of thrust reversers. The DC-8 is so certified. However, there are conditions of use which vary aircraft to aircraft...it is unusual!

Maybe he meant speed brakes?
Posted by Robb Cole on February 22,2012 | 08:05 PM
When seated in a window seat near the wing leading edge or slightly aft, I have noticed several times the air density change, in certain atmospheric conditions, that allowed a normal shock wave to be visible in the vicinity of the engine nacelle intersection with the wing leading edge on a jet aircraft. This shock wave would be quite stable and proved that the gas dynamic textbook illustrations were accurate. The aircraft itself was not travelling supersonically but the air was being locally accelerated enough to approach or exceed sonic conditions.

Thanks for the snippet of information. Keep up the good work. My personal joy in flying is land use and geography / geology. Saw my first wind farm a year ago (Minnesota) and it took me a while to recognise the site and its minimal impact.

Was that steep approach into Washington National by chance? They tend to name it after the basic tool we know as the crowbar. I rode it in a USAIR Dc-9 once. Quite a ride, but I'm pretty sure he didn't use any reverse.

Would a runway facing due North be numbered 36 or 01?
Posted by Dave R. on February 28,2012 | 08:50 PM
A runway facing north is numbered 36. Approach it from the opposite end and it's numbered 18.
