UK.gov solves pensioner crisis by wiring them up to the net
The UK is spending £31m on a pilot to see whether computers and high tech devices can help it dodge the demographic time bomb being primed by an increasing number of old people cluttering up the country. It comes as the government tries to kick-start another round of debate on how it will deal with a spike in the number of older …
The obvious answer is...
...to legalise euthanasia, and to make sure you get lots of people to sign up, just tax them into suicidal misery.
What? You've already started? Oh, I see...
Help! I've fallen ...
... and I can't press Cursor Up!
Thanks. Mines the one on the end peg, smelling slightly of wee.
Better idea still, and even more obvious.
Simply stop spending money on keeping 80+ year old women alive.
Set up a company on a beautiful desert island, whereby old people with no money, and terminal diseases go to test new drugs. We give them 10 grand to leave to their relatives, and all the pain relief they could ask for, as well as beer. Then we test drugs on them in a Josef Mengele fashion. Just think of how fast we could speed up medical research.
In great trouble there is also great opportunity.
I imagine that by then we'll be seriously running out of food, having used it all to power our vehicles for the last 20 years or so... However, I have the perfect solution for this, and it will take care of both the pension crisis and the overpopulation problem as well. Yessir, Soylent Greens will save us all.
"the cost of social care for adults is expected to rocket from £12.7bn last year, to £41bn by 2041, at current prices."
"the cost of social care for adults is expected to "rocket" from 1/2 a Northern Rock bailout last year, to almost 1/3 of this years Banking System bailout by 2041, at current prices"
Paris, cos even she could see this shafting coming
£41bn by 2041
How many Iraq Wars is that?
PS can we make an Iraq War the Reg unit of Government spending.
Stop icon because, well we all do eventually.
As long as...
As long as they don't write a Killer Poke it'll be alright.
The Matrix...
mark 1.
Oh, the joys of getting old.
Those involved will use the money (£31M) to pay themselves a large salary so that they can afford private care in their later years, since the alternative is one day to end up on the receiving end of their own project!
Simpler solution
Stop taxing people. Completely.
The money they save is their responsibility. If they don't use it effectively, tough.
Anyone who has already built up the requisite NI contributions gets them paid back as a lump sum plus interest.
I'm expecting to be dead long before I ever need to get into a nursing home, so I would use any money I saved in having a lavish booze and drug fuelled party to send me off in style.
If that's a bit harsh, remove the taxes on alcohol and cigarettes and let the problem sort itself out.
Penguin icon, as penguins push each other into water to see if there's any seals. Penguin comes back, no seal. Penguin doesn't come back, possible seal. Push another penguin in. Repeat.
Just hope their grandkids don't download MP3s
Else it's connection off for you Granny!
This just highlights the idiocy of the governments 3 strikes policy on file sharing. On one hand they're making the internet an essential part of our existence (social care, tax returns etc.) and on the other they're treating it as a service that can be chucked away just like that by someone else using the connection to file share whether someone you know in the house or someone hijack wireless (which has no non easily crackable security).
The government needs to make it's mind up, is the internet an essential service that people have a right to no matter what like water, electricity, telephones or not?
is that the slight hint of sarcasm i smell?
Only another couple of years now, once we've got decent residential internet coverage sorted out, and they can introduce the ultimate "care in the community package" where each morning the government sends out an offensive automatically generated email that rudely asks if the encumbant recipient is still alive, and if they haven't replied by lunchtime then the "community care ombudsman" will pop round and turn off the water, heating and oxygen to their home.
Perhaps we could have a Logan's Run-style maximum age limit
When you turn a certain age (say 65, as they'll want to squeeze as much tax money out of you as possible), you are 'recycled' into biofuel or something.
Of course MPs would be exempt, as they would err... need to oversee it and ensure that no-one abuses the system by dumping their family into the recycler to get some fuel for their car or something!
I really really hope Wacky Backy Jackie Smith isn't reading this, it's the kind of thing I could see her doing...
The (other) obvious answer is...
Ban seatbelts and speed cameras.
They're the blighters that are saving millions of lives every year (allegedly). Get rid of them and you're well on your way.
And lollipop persons and their cameras. Hey, that could save a few quid on education too...
@what about family members
Well, clearly the government are thinking ahead for when all the current generation of "i'm not having kids 'cos they'll overpopulate the planet, cost me too much and by the way why should I pay for schools, child benefits and why do they get parental leave after all they chose to have the kids" people get old and become the "well I've got no family to look after me so the rest of you got to pay more taxes to pay people to do that for me" generation.
My idea
If we accept that the government should:
- increase alcohol taxes to deter alcohol abuse
- increase cigarette taxes to deter nicotine addiction
- increase fuel and other environmental taxes to deter damage to the environment
then the way to stop old people dying of neglect is obvious.
Increase inheritance tax, thus deterring people from dying.
slightly off the point
When I read the title I thought, woho! now the government is going to make the elderly work in IT as well. My Gran could be a gold miner or a power leveller on wow and earn a nice little income.
Oldies causing problems? Someone fetch the RCMP!
Taser 'em, they'll be no bother then! I'm sure we can get a loan of a few nutters from the RCMP, they have plenty of experience of attacking practically defenceless old folk.
The rate this country is going, I can see a Logan's Run type of future coming down the road!
Couldn't they see this coming?
Successive governments have been burying their heads in the sand and ignoring the problem. The birth rate after WW2 was known at the time - we were "the bulge" going through the education system. The government must also have been tracking life expectancy and mortality rates. The answer was obvious - if we expect to live longer and retire earlier then we must put a larger proportion of our income while we are working into our pensions and pay more in tax. But neither the government or the financial services industry were prepared to bite the bullet.
Listen up, you whippersnappers...
We baby boomers built all the nukes.
We know where they are, and we know the launch codes.
Show some respect!

When it comes to photography, the world seems divided into two categories: Nikon and Canon fans. We are obviously curious to find out which one you like best and why, but before that we would like to present these ingenious and fun coffee mugs in the shape of camera lens. The designers at Photojojo say they got the idea for such a product in a restaurant where they were served drinks in a cup that reminded them of a photo camera. According to the official web page, both Canon and Nikon coffee mugs are available- it only seems like a fair marketing move- and they are equipped with an easy to clean, heat preserving, stainless steel lining. The designs also include a lens-cap lid, rubber-grip focus and zoom rings. We found out that the "Nikon" mug zooms when the owner twists its grip. We would love for you to have your say regarding this crazy idea and remember to let us know what your favorite camera brand is.

Ha funny! great gift for photographer.
i like both very much. where can i buy these ? i wonder if they are expensive ???
@anabel sia – There is a link in the article from where you can buy them. Take a closer look.
I LOVE these! I know a lot of my friends would too! I am a Nikon fan. We have had both, but it seems that Nikon lasts longer, with fewer problems!
@anabel sia: they sell those at J&R camera section
I am an avid Canon user as opposed to Nikon. Both are great cameras, thinking of switching to Nikonperhaps. Maybe It would be a better idea to buy the cup though- a less expensive option!! Looks like I can put some more weight on drinking out of the taller Nikon cup too.Publisher,familyfirepit.com
Well aren't these just the greatest thing since cameras went digital. Love me a Canon one!

these actually are a knock off from the canon units they were handing out at the Vancouver Olympics. those were fully branded by Canon, including box and packaging, and the 24-70 EF-L zooms like the Nikon mentioned.

Canon 24-70 is soo awesome!!! I shoot Canon but I frequently use Nikon macro lenses (yes you CAN use them). For shooting sports there's only one choice for me and that Canon; Nikon does not make a long telephoto @ f/2.8 but Nikons are great for everything else though. Why? Remember in the late 80's when Canon switched from the FD mount to the EF? thats why – it was to accommodate all the new EOS fast lenses with a larger throat, but they had to kill support for the old FD. Nikon didnt want to take this road and used the same 'throat' size for their digital systems (allowing users to use old film lenses on new DSLR's). Unfortunitly it took Nikon 5 years to make an auto focus system for DSLR and Canon grabbed the market from that point on hence why 98% of sports photography is Canon (100% NFL). History lesson!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! =D

Kyrie Irving is in the business of stating the obvious.
Like the rest of the stat of Ohio, the city of Cleveland and nearly the entire United States (with the exception of the state of Florida), Irving is excited for the return of LeBron James to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The fourth-year point guard, speaking Saturday at his basketball camp at Independence (Ohio) High School, said he has a "great feeling" about the upcoming season.
"It's an exciting time, I can tell you that," Irving said, according to Fox Sports Ohio. "Everything is happening."
"I was excited," Irving said. "You have to empathize with the guy. I think we all felt his emotions with his essay (on SI.com). … I found out like everyone else found out."
LeBron James announced July 11 that he was headed "back home" in a letter to Sports Illustrated. Irving agreed to sign a max contract extension a few days before.
The stars literally had to align perfectly this offseason for the Cavs — and they did.
In reality, Irving should just be glad that he's going to be able to ride the best player in the world's coattail during the prime of his career. Not too bad, to say the least.
Get a couple rings, make a hundred million.
With that incentive, I'd be excited about LeBron's return too.

1. Stop faking your fucking orgasms. Society already tells young men that they run the fucking universe - if they can't turn your cunt into a shooting star then for god's sake, let them know about it.
2. Once you've stopped faking your fucking orgasms, use this newfound honesty throughout the rest of your life - stop ordering coffee you don't actually like; stop sitting at a desk and allowing people to treat you like shit in the hopes that a meek attitude will earn you a promotion (it won't); stop telling people they can finish your food when you're not actually done yet. These may seem petty, but they add up, just like every orgasm you didn't actually get to have.
3. If you wanna dance all night, dance all fucking night. Dance all night even if you have work in the morning. The worst that will happen is you'll drink RedBull all day and look like a zombie - pass it off as a head cold to the real zombies you work with and flick through the embarrassing photos you're being tagged in as you pretend to take a shit for some peace and quiet. I promise, you'll remember dancing all night in ten years, not the suspicious way your boss looked at you that morning.
4. If your ass looks big in that, that's a good thing.
5. You will never be as young as you are this second. Embrace it.
6. Embrace the fact that you're going to get older. Ask your boyfriend if he will still love you when you're seventy and your tits are down to your knees. Look forward to this time - seventy year old women are allowed to do pretty much whatever they want, and no-one can stop them. You can carry candy in your bag and not share it with a single soul. You can stay home all day and cross-stitch expletives onto handkerchiefs for your grandchildren and slip them under the table out of sight of the people you raised. You can drink whisky at 10am. Every phase of your life is going to be amazing for different reasons. Embrace that.
7. A lot of people will pretend to love Bukowski. Don't pretend to love Bukowski if you don't love Bukowski. It's overplayed and no-one will mind if you actually like Virginia Andrews instead - the people who do mind are boring."

init() & destroy() are two different method in a servlet.Calling destroy() inside a init() is not possible and it doesn't make sense.
Answered On : Jan 23rd, 2007
View all answers by ashishagnihotri
Methods init() and destroy() are two separate methods meant for some specialized handling of things like closing a connection pool, freeing the memory used by local variables etc.When the servlet container is about to unload the servlet - it will call the destroy() method where the user may have put some cleanup code for his application.Now, coming back to your question, it is "very much possible" to call destroy() inside the init() but it would have no special effect - it will be similar to calling any other method within the init().
Yes it does not make sense but its pretty much possible. Check my reply to the question for details.

Its nothing like you can kill the child as soon as it takes its birth. Basically destroy() will be called by the container, when the servlet instance is getting destroyed.So even if destroy method is called explicity from init() or service() nothing happens, it wont make any sense.

It does not make any affect, because destroy method only call by the container when they want to unload the servlet or jsp. By callin destry() within the init() it will call the destroy method, it ll run the code within the destroy() and return back to init(), it does not mean that it will stop the execution process.

It does not effect, If U call init() inside destory() method.Coz these are life cycle methods, so container only call these methods....If u written init() inside destor() but destoy() method can not works.

The destroy method can be called inside the init method. It will execute the code written in the destroy method, and flow will be back to the init method and continues.Now the question arises.... since the destroy method is overridden so in the run time it will call the our servlet class method . So will it unload the servlet?Yes it will unload the servlet. since init(),service() and destroy() methods are the servlet life cycle methods and these methods are called by container itself. So First this will call the overridden destroy method then container will call its destroy method.Eg. This is the same scenarios happen in the EJB too. As call back methods are overridded. It tell the container first do the things which are written in the callback method then execute their lifecycle method.

We can call a destroy() method from init() or service() normally like any other methods. Container will executes the destroy() method but does not unloads the servlet object from the memory. The unloading of servlet can be taken care by container only.

Feds Muzzle Illicit Payday Loans
Staten Island commercial bank delineates examiners' findings
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Payday loans that subject borrowers to deceit and harassment have drawn federal action describing them as illegal.
Victory State Bank, Staten Island's business bank, cites a recent report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that described problems with questionable payday-lending practices.
These types of loans are part of a larger scope of federal supervision over nonbank financial entities involving also debt collection and consumer reporting.
"For the first time at the federal level, nonbank financial institutions are subject to supervisory oversight that holds them accountable for how they treat consumers," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement.
In the nonbank markets highlighted in CFPB's report, examiners found that many companies had systemic flaws in their compliance management systems, such as consistently failing to have a system in place to track and resolve consumer complaints.
Specifically with payday loans, several problems were uncovered.
These types of loans are frequently a way for consumers to bridge a cash-flow shortage between paychecks or the receipt of other income. Loans often have small-dollar amounts, require borrowers to repay quickly, and ask that a borrower give lenders access to repayment through a claim on the borrower's deposit account.
When lenders called borrowers to collect debt, they sometimes threatened to take legal actions they did not actually intend to pursue. Examiners cited these threats as unlawful deceptive practices.
Other lenders threatened to impose additional fees or to debit borrowers' accounts at any time, when this was not allowed by their contract. Examiners also found lenders lied about non-existent promotions to induce borrowers to call back about their debt.
CFPB examiners also found that payday lenders called borrowers multiple times per day. When lenders failed to track accurately how many times they had called a borrower, it increased the risk of a borrower receiving excessive calls.
Examiners also found that employees of payday lenders would sometimes visit borrowers' workplaces in attempts to collect debt. Such practices by lenders can violate the Dodd-Frank Act's prohibition on unfair practices.
Many payday lenders hire third parties to collect their debts. The CFPB expects payday lenders – and all institutions subject to its supervision – to oversee their service providers to ensure they are complying with federal law.
But examiners found that third-party debt collectors misled borrowers in a variety of ways, including falsely claiming to be an attorney and making false threats of criminal prosecution. Third-party collectors also harassed borrowers by calling at unusual times.

Cancer Health Center
Cancer Death Rates Drop 20% Over 2 Decades
Breast and Pancreatic Cancers
Stephanie Bernik, MD, says that early detection and better treatments are largely responsible for the drop in breast cancer deaths. She is the chief of surgical oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"We had good cure rates, and now they are excellent," she says. But If we cut back on screening, it could negatively impact these numbers. According to the new report, there will be an estimated 232,340 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed among women, and 39,620 women are projected to die from breast cancer in 2013.
While other cancer rates are falling, the report shows that more people are being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer than ever before.
In 2013, there will be an estimated 45,220 new cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed in the U.S., and about 38,460 people are projected to die from this cancer.
And we really don't know why, says Gagandeep Singh, MD. He is professor at City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif. "The key thing is try to make the diagnosis a little bit earlier."
Yes, the statistics are grim, but pancreatic cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, Singh says. "We all have patients that are alive 10 to 12 years out and doing well. There is a lot in the pipeline, and the next five to 10 years hold great promise for the detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer."

Final Report: Pilot blamed for Bader overrun
Sikorsky S-76B, New York, Oct. 11, 2005–The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the accident was the failure of the pilot flying to maintain adequate aft hover clearance from a fence, and the PIC's delayed remedial action. A factor was the dark night.
Owned by United Technologies, the helicopter had refueled at a riverside heliport and the pilot flying, in the right seat, lifted the helicopter into a hover, facing toward the river. The PIC, in the left seat, cleared the area and as the pilot flying moved the helicopter slowly to the right, it drifted backward and hit a fence. The PIC felt a vibration, took over the controls and landed. The pilot flying reported "dark, drizzling rain, northerly wind at 8 to 10 knots [and an] unusually high water level of the…river." Both pilots were uninjured.

text: The Babylonian Gilgamesh epic is the acknowledged masterpiece of ancient Mesopotamian literature. Nevertheless it has to be re-edited periodically to take account of the enormous increase in primary sources that occurs every generation. Since the last critical edition of the epic seventy years ago the known fragments of the epic have almost doubled. This book collects all the extant texts in one place again, including twenty-three fragments published for the first time. The author has studied personally every available fragment to produce a definitive edition and translation. Four introductory chapters place the epic in its context and examine the name, person and traditions of Gilgamesh and other characters in the poem. The plates present the cuneiform text of all the extant fragments of the epic. The result is a publication which is a standard academic resource.

Into the Fires of Battle is a free action to activate, giving Salamaders a half-move and two standard attacks with ranged weapons.
It is not sustained. It has no duration given. Therefore, it is active for the entire combat it was activated in.
Is this correct? This gives Salamanders Bolter Assault, but with every ranged weapon, for an entire combat instead of just one round.

seashells like ivory,
attract the eyes of young wanderer.
On barefoot,
searching amid fragments
of the ones so raveged by sandstorms.
Gently brushed
by the afternoon breeze,
he stoops down and touches them with wonder.
These pretty
seashells have spots and lines...
they are found along Long Island Sound.

Surprisingly bold call for adapting to climate change by Chiemi Hayashi of the WEF. She calls for heavy investments in climate adaptation now while leaders figure out how to tackle the current economic crisis.
She doesn't quiet say it, but Hayashi implies that efforts to reduce carbon emissions have failed. And since those efforts have failed, we have to deal with two crises that are sneaking up on us right now: an economic crisis and a disaster management crisis.
Climate change threats are being neglected to tackle short term economic stresses but it would be wise to invest in climate change adaptation now.
The world is facing an unprecedented dual crisis. But with economic and environmental stresses playing out over different timeframes, deep-rooted biases in the way we judge risks may mean we are too preoccupied with firefighting short-term economic problems to tackle longer-term climate threats.
That is one of the key messages to emerge from the Global Risks 2013 report, published by the World Economic Forum. The report is based on an annual survey in which experts share their perceptions of how global risks may unfold over a 10-year time horizon.
Highlighted concerns left no doubt that the continuing fallout from the financial crisis of five years ago is likely to dominate leaders' attention over the coming decade. Growth prospects remain relatively weak, and intense pressure on public finances is set to continue.
Meanwhile, experts rated the systemically most important environmental risk to be failure to adapt to climate change – in contrast to last year, when rising greenhouse gas emissions topped the results. This reflects a wider shift in recent conversation on climate change, from the question of whether our climate is changing to "by how much" and "how quickly".
The transition can be seen in a spate of recent reports on climate adaptation efforts. Examples of adaptation initiatives include flood defences for coastal cities, strengthening the capacity of critical infrastructure to survive freak weather events, and researching crop varieties which are more able to withstand swings between extremes of drought and flood.
While the numbers involved vary widely according to different climate change scenarios, it is clear that the costs of investing in adaptation measures and curtailing greenhouse gas emissions are greatly outweighed by the likely future costs of failing to do so. One recent report by Mercer estimates the economic costs of climate change as likely to fall between $2tn and $4tn and (£1.25tn and £2.5tn) by 2030. In addition, we are observing nascent trends of climate change-related litigations, which could compound the cost of climate change significantly.
Logic dictates that it would be wise to bear the costs of investing in climate change adaptation now, rather than shouldering the greater future costs of climate-related disasters. However, humans suffer from several well-established cognitive biases which may hold us back from doing so.
The term "hyperbolic discounting" refers to the tendency to give immediate costs and benefits disproportionately more weight than delayed ones. Researchers have also found that we place too much emphasis on recent personal experience when estimating the future likelihood of a given risk occurring – for instance, taking out flood insurance immediately after a flood, and letting it lapse after a few years without a flood.
The cumulative effect of such cognitive biases is that we tend to find reasons to persuade ourselves that it is not necessary to focus on risks which are perceived to be long term, creeping and relatively uncertain. And while some degree of climate change is now inevitable, there remains great uncertainty about its likely extent and local manifestations.The latter is especially significant, as climate adaptation is inherently local.
This is a great article. Honest and clear-eyed. I highly recommend my followers to take some time to read it. Via The Guardian
Kyoto Protocol aimed for 5% cut in carbon emissions — instead, we got a 58% increase
The controversial and ineffective Kyoto Protocol's first stage comes to an end today, leaving the world with 58 per cent more greenhouse gases than in 1990, as opposed to the five per cent reduction its signatories sought.
From the beginning, the treaty that was adopted in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan, was problematic. Opponents denied the science of climate change and claimed the treaty was a socialist plot. Environmentalists decried the lack of ambition in Kyoto and warned of dire consequences for future generations.
But the goal of the treaty was simple.
"We hoped that we would be able to reduce greenhouse gases substantially, but that it was a first step," explained Christine Stewart, the Liberal environment minister who negotiated in Kyoto on Canada's behalf.
The Kyoto Protocol was an initiative that came out of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. It recognized that climate change was a result of greenhouse gases created by human industrial activity. The idea was that rich nations, which had already benefited from industrialization, would reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in the first part of the treaty and developing nations would join in later.
Although the protocol was adopted in 1997, it didn't to come into force until 2005. In the intervening eight years, countries set reduction targets for themselves and ratified the agreement.
"At the time we didn't realize how complicated it would be to get the Kyoto Protocol ratified and for it to enter into force internationally," said Steven Guilbeault, co-founder of Equiterre, a Montreal-based environmental charity.
Problems from the beginning
Right off the bat, there were problems. The U.S., the world's biggest emitter at the time, signed up but never ratified…
Via CBC
"Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), pointed to the enormity of the task amid escalating demands from developing countries and green campaigners to save the only legally binding treaty to cut greenhouse gases.
Taking place against an ever-grimmer backdrop, the talks drew appeals on Sunday from the Catholic and Anglican churches to cut carbon emissions and help poor countries facing worsening drought, flood, storms and rising seas.
Kyoto's first round of emissions pledges by rich countries expires next year, but only the European Union (EU) - which accounts for barely 11 per cent of global CO2 emissions - has said it might renew its vows.
Defectors such as Japan and Russia, along with the United States, which never ratified Kyoto, are eyeing a parallel forum in the 194-nation UNFCCC that focuses on voluntary emissions curbs.
Determining Kyoto's survival while at the same time pursuing this second track "is a tall order for governments", Figueres said at a news conference in Durban on Sunday.
"This conversation (between the two tracks), from a political level, is the most difficult issue facing this conference."
A breakthrough - if there is one - will come in the last days of the November 28-December 9 talks when ministers arrive in Durban to try to push through a final compromise, she said.
Developing countries are lobbying hard for Kyoto to be kept alive, and some campaigners have warned of angry protests."

"What will happen when the Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period expires at the end of next year?
This paper for the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements analyzes the options going forward, including adoption of a legally-binding second commitment period, a "political" second commitment period, or no new commitment period.
It considers the legal implications of a gap between the end of Kyoto's first commitment period and the adoption of a new legal regime to limit emissions, the prospects for the Clean Development Mechanism in the absence of a second Kyoto commitment period, and the relationship between the Kyoto Protocol negotiations and the emerging regime under the Cancun Agreements.
It concludes that a transitional regime, involving a second commitment period that is politically but not legally binding, represents a possible middle ground that could complement efforts under the Cancun Agreements to develop a flexible, evolutionary framework of climate governance."

Shakes Magic 8-Ball "Outlook not so good." In a devastating policy outlook update, Derek Spence of the IISD, offers perspective on the upcoming COP17, which will be held this December in Durban, South Africa.
Recall that recent climate commitments achieved at the COP15 in Copenhagen, and the COP16 in Cancun were discussed just a few weeks ago at the Bonn Climate Conference held in Germany (a summary of the Bonn conference is here).
The COP17 is seen as the end point for the Kyoto Protocol, signed in 1997 by 191 of the world's 193 countries. Recall the US refused to sign Kyoto.
Spence writes that countries are more than reluctant to re-up on Kyoto. This is interesting, since many countries have agreed to dedicate billions to various emissions reduction and adaptation projects that were finalized at the previous COP15 and COP16. Are world leaders experiencing a sort of moral hazard, or false sense of security as a result? In other words, since these policies are in place, perhaps leaders do not see the need to re-up on Kyoto. (Note: A summary of the commitments are in the article.)
Still, Spence is clear that his pessimism lies in the suspicion that developed countries are not serious about their emissions reductions commitments:
Prospects for agreement in Durban: Poor.
Can Durban Seal a Comprehensive New Deal?
Even an ambitious second commitment period under Kyoto will not deliver the type of emissions reductions needed to keep the lid on climate change. Some industrialized countries have been vocal in calling for a comprehensive global agreement that includes all major emitters. Only an ambitious treaty covering all key players could possibly limit global temperature rise to 2°C or less.
The concern on the part of developing countries is that such a treaty could blur the lines between the obligations of developed and developing countries. Under Kyoto, developed countries undertook to take the lead in combating climate change. This is a condition the South wants honored, and explains why they continue to press hard for a second commitment period.
Source: IISD Policy Update, "What Can a Deal in Durban Deliver?"
On the heals of COP17 in Durban.
In a 7,000-word essay for Rolling Stone magazine that will be published Friday, Gore says Obama has failed to stand up for "bold action" on global warming and has made little progress on the problem since the days of Republican President George W. Bush. Bush infuriated environmentalists for resisting mandatory controls on the pollution blamed for climate change, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that the burning of fossil fuels is responsible.
While Gore credits Obama's political appointees with making hundreds of changes that have helped move the country "forward slightly" on the climate issue, and acknowledges Obama has been dealing with many other problems, he says the president "has simply not made the case for action."
"President Obama has never presented to the American people the magnitude of the climate crisis," Gore says. "He has not defended the science against the ongoing withering and dishonest attacks. Nor has he provided a presidential venue for the scientific community … to bring the reality of the science before the public."

Apologies for the misleading headline. The IPCC is a group of super smart scientists who research climate and write reports, rather than send shiny things into space. The IPCC is preparing to publish its 5th assessment of the state of climate change. Pieces of the report are leaking to the press, which, true-to-form, is spectacularizing findings.
The IPCC does not endorse sending mirrors into space. The technology doesn't exist, cannot be tested, and is completely speculative. Geo-engineering is a name for various proposals to combat climate change. Mirrors in space is one such method of geo-engineering that would mess with the earth's climate. It's a powerful concept. A group of countries would pay for the technology to make mirrors, send them into a certain orbit, and the mirror would deflect radiation away from the earth, thereby making a cooling effect to counteract global warming. Sounds a bit crack pot.
So, why did the IPCC write about mirrors and other geo-engineering techniques? Frankly, it's an admission that the political process has failed. The COP meetings have failed to renew Kyoto. And Kyoto itself has failed to reduce emissions. Cap and trade schemes are also sketchy, demonstrating that a quasi-free market approach won't work either. So, the alternative is to look to ways to manipulate the earth's climate with technology. Note that the IPCC dismisses using any such technologies, and that's where these 'sunsational' headlines creep in.
The IPCC has, by the way, has published on geo-engineering in the past, including a review of mirrors… Some of my previous, rather grouchy, posts on geo-engineering are here (w/free articles), here (an advert for a geo degree), and here (pro-geoengineering arguments).
Experts suggested that the documents, leaked from inside the IPPC to The Guardian, show how the UN and other developed countries are "despairing" about reaching agreement by consensus at the global climate change talks.
But the newspaper reported that scientists admit that even if the ideas theoretically work, they could cause irreversible consequences.

Climate Change TV is a web channel devoted to following world leaders as they renegotiate the Kyoto Protocol. CCTV conducts exclusive interviews with world leaders and influential figures involved in the climate change negotiations. Click the map to watch interviews with leaders from dozens of countries.
For example, here is an interview with John Ashe, UN's ambassador to the Kyoto Protocol negotiations team. In the interview, he basically says that his group wants all countries to lower emissions by 25%. (Quick notes: He throws around some jargon. Ignore it. All you need to know is that "AWG-KP" is the name of Ashe's team. "AWG" stands for Ad hoc Working Group. Basically, an AWG is comprised of a committee of experts, and they're charged with completing certain tasks. Ashe's team, the AWG-KP, is tasked with getting all the world's 196 countries to cut a deal on extending the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.)

Bike Course
After leaving Jamestown Beach Park, Olympic athletes will head North to Centerville Rd and take a left at Jolly Pond Rd. Jolly Pond Rd makes a circle and meets back up with Centerville Rd after approximately 7-miles. This loop has a fast downhill to start and then climbs back up for the remaining 4-miles. Cyclists take a Rt on Centerville to go back to the first Jolly Pond Rd entrance and do the loop a second time. Once meeting back up with Centerville, cyclists will take LEFT onto Centerville and RIGHT onto Opportunity Way which will lead them to Warhill Sports Complex and T2.
The Half bike course is flat flat flat! The Half course is all new this year with flat, quiet roads for the first 25-miles. There are train tracks at the 25-mile mark which may require athletes to stop for train traffic. We will have a timing mat at this location to deduct any time lost due to train traffic from your finish time. After crossing the tracks, cyclist will do a straight 12-mile stretch on Rte 60 before turning at Anderson's Corner and then onto Forge Rd where the roads get very quiet but continue to be flat. After the turn around at the abandoned Golf Course on Diascund Rd, cyclists will head towards T2 via rolling terrain on Little Creek Dam Rd, Cranston Mill Pond Rd and finally onto Jolly Pond Rd. The last 5-miles are a flat. comfortable ride into T2.
Run Course
This flat run is a combination of on and off road but entirely inside the Warhill Sports Complex. There will be an aid station approximately every mile and porta potties. This is a great spectating course, offering people many opportunities to cheer on their athletes. The Olympic consists of 2 loops while the half consists of 4 loops. The first 2-miles are on the WISC trail system which is a wide, rolling hardpack trail, a favorite running location for local runners including the Nationally ranked William&Mary Cross Country team. The final mile-plus of the loop is a slight uphill on an asphalt running path leading back up to T2 and Wanner Stadium. The multi-loop course will give spectators ample opportunities to cheer on their favorite athletes.

Louise, Duchess of Devonshire's 'Queen of Zenobia' Ball Gown for the Devonshire House Ball by House of Worth, 1897 Paris (worn in England), Chatsworth
Ball gown with an under-robe of cloth of silver, wrought all over with silver thread and brilliants, and with an over-dress of green and gold shot-silk gauze, embroidered to the waist with green and gold metalwork, decorated with jewels. A long train of turquoise velvet, embroidered in gold to an oriental design, was attached to the shoulders. A bodice of gold cloth and lace was fitted over a whalebone corset into which her waist was tightly laced. The headdress that went with it has not survived, but it can be seen in Lafayette's photograph.
The dress was made for Louise, Duchess of Devonshire by the House of Worth to wear at the celebrated Diamond Jubilee Ball at Devonshire House. It was a fancy dress ball and Louise attended as Queen Zenobia, the warrior Queen of Palmyra. The Duchess may have got the idea for the theme of the dress from Inigo Jones's costume designs for Court Masques that are in the drawing collections at Chatsworth.
Unfortunately, the images are really small.

Justin Tuck has reportedly agreed to a 2 year, $11 million contract with the Oakland Raiders, a deal that the New York Giants, the only team that Tuck has ever played for, had a chance to match. I appreciate what Tuck has done with, and for, the Giants franchise but I'm glad Big Blue opted not to match that offer sheet.
Tuck was a fantastic player in his tenure as a Giant; he was a leader on and off the field and a player that seemed to truly embrace New York. At his best Tuck was a dominant edge pass rusher, but his best seems to be behind him. He racked up double digit sacks four times in his nine years in New York, including 11 last season in a resurgent year (Tuck had failed to more than 5 sacks in either of the previous two seasons).
Tuck's 11 sacks lead the Giants last season, the third time in his career he lead the team in that category, but that does not mean the giants should have given a 30 year old edge rusher that does not show the same type of explosiveness he did as younger man the contract the Raiders offered.
The Giants will miss Tuck's presence, but he is no longer worth $5.5 million a year, that money would be better served elsewhere.
He was a critical part of two Giants Super Bowl teams, and a beloved player; playing for another franchise will not tarnish his legacy to the Giants fan base, that is already cemented. He may have started in the shadow of another legendary Giants pass rusher, Michael Strahan, but has since forged his own place in Giants lore.
Tuck, the Notre Dame product and Giants third round selection in the 2005 draft, appeared in two Pro Bowls as a member of the Giants and was selected to the 2008 All-Pro first team.

I get this question a lot. ( six times in the past two days)
How can I draw like you?
This is my point of you on this question.
Once again.. this is just MY opinion, and not everybody will agree with it.. but.. here it is
I'd probably not recommend you try to emulate my style or my way or working.
What I would recommend though is that you try to go outside and sketch, sketch people in the street, people walking, sitting, getting up, taking off their clothes or putting them back on, people hugging, people fighting, people in conversation in a group, people on the bus, swimming, dancing, eating, ( lot's of eating as it is pretty hard to convey exactly the feeling of eating), sleeping, people thinking… If you want to tell stories, most of your images should have people thinking.. that's what is going to make your images come alive.
Use a tablet if you have one, a sharpie, a pastel, a rock dipped in ink..anything that can make a mark.
The tool is cool, but secondary.. first.. you need to train your eye and your brain to "see"..and by this, not just scan the world around you to pick up what is different… but really to look at what as always been around you and that you just never paid attention to, things like how does your girlfriend's hair REALLY fall, or does it fall at all… how is she dressing today? How do the layers of clothes work together, how are people dressed in the street TODAY…how does the light in the sky affect the way you see the buildings around you.. how does the cold of the air make you feel and how does it affect the way you perceive the people around you.. how do dogs walk, and how does a car stop at a red light… do kids really hold hands when they cross the street, how do YOU look when you read these lines?.. do you know how your chair really looks like? With your weight on it?
Things like that… try and look at these things, try to capture them on paper..quick sketches.a few seconds, up to 30 seconds..don't try to do beautiful sketches, it's doesn't matter. At this stage, you are trying to see the world and capture it. Don't try to draw what you know, just draw what you see.. it will help you let go of all the artistic influences you have and that stop you from growing as an artist.
Do this…for the rest of your life.
Once you've been doing this for a few weeks, few months, then start drawing images, creating stories that you have seen, stories that you have experienced.. like your first kiss or your first break up, the first time you saw the ocean, or the first time you ate a chocolate croissant.. things that only YOU have experienced.. try to create images that relate not just the action, but also the emotion.
Once you get to a point when you can do this, you won't need to know how to draw like me, because by then you will have your own voice and that voice will keep evolving as long as you stay honest with yourself and keep looking , observing.
Don't be afraid to let your art wander into areas you are not familiar with, this is how you are going to learn.
At different stages in your life, you will be interested in different things and your art will change accordingly. Don't try to stifle your vision by "sticking" to what has always worked for you… it might make you a "popular" artist, but it might not fulfill your creative need.
Last thing.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 325 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jim487 Just want your money Made the mistake of putting green card out to skip a day of room services. They didn't clean room for three days. Card indicates one day. Staff said ,"Oh everbody knows its for three days". Even asked staff to clean room after two days they iognored my request. On top of this you are suppose to get a five dollar credit for each day never got one for the last day. Ordered room service ever mourning, but could not get them to leave a card you need to put on the door. Front desk was less than helpful. Breakfest was quite good staff from kitchen were pleasant and very courtous. November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Angel51 Wonderful Stay Had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Jacqueline front staff clerk was very nice and corteous . We will definetely stay at this hotel again loved the decor. Rugs in the 12th floor in Room 1214 could use some deep cleaning other than that everything was great! July 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WoogieSr Must have been an "off" day! I've stayed at this hotel many many times and have, for the most part, been very pleased. However, my February 10th stay was below standards. I checked in between 5 and 6:00. When given my room # I asked was it on a club floor? (I'm a gold SPG member). I was told no, they had a large check-out earlier and the rooms weren't cleaned. I should have been offered parking, but was not. When I got to my room, the view was nice however, my room did not look thoroughly cleaned. There was trash in my waste basket, only ONE hand towel and the overall smell of the room was not fresh! February 15, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by dlsreds Was Not fully accomodated I was not accommodated like other family members for the Williams' Family Reunion! Other family members informed me that they had called in after the appointed date and was given the family rate! I was charged $151.00 per nite, I stayed 2 nites! I just feel if you gave the rate to 1, you should have given it to all! July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael6 Nice Hotel There is a very nice pool on the 16th floor with a great view of the nations capital - U.S.A. July 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Eg2012 Service disappointing I was very disappointed in the customer service. I have never written a bad review until now. There were two people who were wonderful but the rest were very...My room had several issues (no hot water for 2 days...tv had no signal for a day and a half)...bartender was rude and offensive... July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Irv72 Great Hospitality The help staff with our reception and banquet were outstanding. They (staff) worked well at getting our needs met. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philaworks Excellent Location with Amazing Staff Very attentive and hotel staff; hotel was very busy during my stay but the facilities were well-maintained. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DTravelMan Great Stay at Sheraton Pentagon City The Sheraton Pentagon City has one perk no one else in Washington has; Ranjit is the best Guest Services person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. This stay was the best because of Ranjit. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MAV1 Hotel Accommodations comroftable room with excellent air conditioning. However, the carpet was dirty and stained. July 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lebron23 Hotel room had a outstanding view of DC. The atmosphere inside main lobby was very appealing and comfortable. Front desk and housekeeping personnel were excellent. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by abcdk391 This Hotel is Enjoyable I was pleased with how easy it was to get checked in and out even when I was using a Living Social coupon. The room and hotel were well-equipped. The workout room was nice. The shuttle running to the nearest metro stop operates regularly and is convenient. The only issue is that making the initial reservation with the coupon was difficult and passed between people until someone solved the problem for me. Also the current roadwork outside makes it impossible to walk to the metro station yourself but the hotel shuttle works very well. January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patsy2 It's a great place to stay. The bed was comfortable. And it's quite. Staff is very courteous. Overall I will come back again if I'm in the DC area. July 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by NLee Untreated Front desk employees There was another event with many high school students coming. I was trying to ask a question while I had already checked in. Yet, I had to wait in the line for a long time before the simple question could be answered. There was SPG line, but they did not use it. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Attendee12 Pleasantly Surprised Attended a conference, and apart from being "land locked" (no outside space to enjoy during breaks) it was an excellent experience. Best banquet food I've ever had at a conference. Quality and selection was great! Sleeping rooms were comfortable and staff was friendly. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 15underpar Great service, location We really enjoyed our stay. We only planned on staying one night but after we checked into the "other" hotel we started missing the accomodations. One phone call to SPG allowed us to check out of the "other" hotel and return to the Pentagon City Sheraton. Once the rennovations are complete, this hotel will be the place to be when you visit DC!! We are already looking forward to our next visit to the DC area! Also, the front desk staff was excellent. One young lady in particular (Venus, I think) was just wonderful! October 15, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Louie898 Poor service, old musty room It started with check-in where the front desk appeared overwhelmed and unfamiliar with even the basics. Same issues when I went to check out. room was musty had sour odor, bath area was way too small. Food choices were extremely limited. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy41 Everything was perfect! The bed and pillows were so comfortable, staff was awesome and the bathroom was clean and spacious. I have not one bad thing to say! June 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous2014 Average One side of the hotel is rather noisy (street + outside fans noises). I asked to change room, the staff agreed but its tone of voice was rather impatient making me quite uncomfortable. Rooms are correct. Surprised they offer samples of body lotion, shampoo and conditioner, but no shower gel. Convenient shuttle bus running every half hour to the shopping mall. Breakfast and Wifi were not included - found the overall price high. May 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by psj1949 dirtee carpet Room 612...carpet is dirty and stained in many places...upon checkout I mentioned same to staff, my observation was not even acknowledged...scratched & outdated furnishings may not sell @ the garage sale June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sase2 Great For Families Staying at this hotel was so very nice. My family and I just wanted to get away. When we first signed in we met Cy, the person at the registration desk. He went out of his way to make sure that our family was comfortable and happy. We aren't familiar with the area and he made sure that we knew exactly where we were going. Thanks so much, Cy. If I would report a problem, it would be that we weren't able to use the pool because they were doing construction. I just wish that we had known about that. October 11, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kimikoftokyo Wrong Time To Visit I visited during the hurricane we had last August. I had no where to go so I decided to stay here. The first problem that I overlooked was that They couldn't find my name at the front desk. I had to find internet to try to get on my phone to show them . Until I just showed my Starwood card. The place was wonderful the room was nice though the lights went off and such. What makes me give it a bad rating because of the staff. They maybe was too busy with the hurricane situation to even help me with my problem, I didn't even get to talk to the head of it all. If i didn't press through customer service for a few month, I would of never received a sorry from him. They were just rude the only nice people were the cleaning people. Because of the late response I will not stay there unless I have to. February 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by GeoffB100 Great Views Great views at night from the "city view" room. Good condition for the most part. Limited on the restaurant food options but really pleasant staff June 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jim1000 Worst Starwood Experience - Never again The hotel is decent to say the least, but the staff at the desk are subpar. However cleaning staff -- very kind. From check in, staff was rude and curt, lacked courtesy and was quick to get you out of their face. Management was disorganized, and while waiting to get checked in, female staff complained about their personal lives etc., which made other patrons visible uncomfortable and annoyed. At check out, billing was off, overcharged on parking and other misc things. At check out, staff again was bickering and showed a great deal of complacency. Had to print out bill four times to verify correct amount, but AMEX statement shows incorrect charges - in dispute now. Regretfully chose this hotel due to value, but regret choosing it. Will not stay here and will not recommend to anyone to stay here. August 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by 2travellers Nice hotel but ..... Nice hotel. The location is a bit off the beaten track though which wouldn't be a problem if the van service was reliable. I found the van service to be undependable. When calling to schedule a pick up, you are given a standard robotic response which is unreliable. You have to call 2-3 times to actually get someone to pick you up. When you're standing outside in the cold, freezing waiting on a shuttle that does not come when its supposed to, the beauty of the hotel diminishes greatly. February 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Michael0745 Needs improvement in many areas Room was not clean as it should be. Wallpaper peeling....Restaurant unsatisfactory....Club lounge tables not clean....Restaurant tables not clean. June 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by saywhat4 Poor Sheraton Experience There are other Sheratons and Starwoods in the Northern VA area that are much better than this facility. Beds were not up to the typical Sheraton Sleeper level of quality. Unless you walk into the next door Marine base, there is nothing within walking distance of this hotel which is hemmed in by multiple uncrossable highways. Rooms were clean, but featured an older bathroom layout with sinks outside of the main bathroom area. May 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sammy4882 The staff is great The hotel is very nice and clean. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. June 24, 2014

Starting 1-3 is not the ideal start to the NBA season, especially not for a New York Knicks team that entered the season with high expectations and a lot of pressure on them. Things are slowly starting to unravel for a team that was successful and made the second round of the playoffs last season. Yes, it's still very early to write off the team, but they have looked terrible.
In tonight's game against the lowly Charlotte Bobcats, a team with one of the worst offenses in the league, took the Knicks to school in the first half, and the Knicks couldn't find a way to get out of the mess they put themselves in as the Bobcats held off the Knicks' late run to take the game, 102-97, on Tuesday night. The defense was non-existent, especially after their center Tyson Chandler went down with a right knee injury; Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks' superstar, scored 32 points but shot an unacceptable 35 percent from the field.
For the third straight game Knicks coach Mike Woodson decided to start a "big lineup" that consists of Chandler at center, Andrea Bargnani at power forward and Carmelo Anthony at small forward, but that has clearly not worked — it's time for Woodson to change his game plan, especially with Chandler out with the knee injury. The former defensive player of the year left in the first quarter which pushed Kenyon Martin and Amar'e Stoudemire to play longer Woodson wanted to.
The Knicks are still struggling to defend the perimeter and now they forgot how to shoot — the Knicks shot 42 percent from the field, 28 percent from beyond the arc. So what's next for the Knicks? Will they continue this losing streak, or will they snap their three-game skid on Friday in Charlotte?
One thing is for sure: Woodson needs to stop with the "big lineup" and put Carmelo Anthony back in the power forward position, a position he was successful in last season.

Voyager and the Coming Great Hiatus In Deep Space
timothy posted more than 2 years ago | from the great-non-disturbance-in-the-force dept.238
MatthewVD writes "Some time in the next decade, the Voyager probes will run out of juice and finally go silent after almost a half century of exploration. John Rennie writes that the lack of any meaningful effort to follow up with a mission to interstellar space shows the "fragile, inconsistent state of space exploration." It's particularly frustrating since the Voyagers have tantalized astronomers with a glimpse into about how the sun's magnetic field protects us from (or exposes us to) cosmic rays. Have we gone as far as we're willing to go in space?"

The Emperor's Mirror: Understanding Cultures Through Primary Sourcesby Russell J Barber
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Russell J. Barber and Frances F. Berdan have created the ultimate guide for anyone doing cross-cultural and/or document-driven research. Presenting the essentials of primary-source methodology, The Emperor's Mirror includes nine chapters on paleography, calendrics, source and quantitative analysis, and the visual interpretation of artifacts such as pictographs, illustrations, and maps. As an introduction to ethnohistory, this book clearly defines terminology and provides practical and accessible examples, effectively integrating the concerns of historians and anthropologists as well as addressing the needs of anyone using primary sources for research in any academic field. A leading theme throughout the book is the importance of a researcher's awareness of the inherent biases of documents while doing research on another culture. Documents are the result of people interpreting reality through the filter of their own experience, personality, and culture. Barber and Berdan's reality mediation model shows students how to analyze documents to detect the implicit biases or subtexts inherent in primary-source materials. Students and scholars working with primary sources will particularly appreciate the case studies that Barber and Berdan use to illustrate the practical implications of using each methodology. These case studies not only apply method to actual research but also are fascinating in their own right: they range from a discussion of the debate over Tupinamba cannibalism to the illustration of Nahuatl, Spanish, and hybrid place names of Tlaxcala, Mexico.
About the Author
Russell J. Barber is the chair of the Department of Anthropology at California State University in San Bernardino. Frances F. Berdan is a professor of anthropology at California State University in San Bernardino.
