But last week, industry minister Martin Riman rejected a 640-million koruna (22.5-million euro) bid by Australian uranium mining company Uran Limited for a 50 percent stake in exploitation of current and future uranium reserves.
And he held out the prospect of a new lease of life for the mine if research uncovers fresh reserves of the now coveted resource.
"Uran's bid is interesting but we can mine and survey for reserves on our own," the minister announced.
The Rozna mine has seen its fortunes improve as the price for uranium, used to feed nuclear reactors, soars on concerns about global warming and the cost and security of fossil fuel supplies, such as coal and oil.
The price hit record highs in February after an eightfold increase over the last three years. It had barely budged during the previous decade.
As a result, Rozna's previously loss-making annual production of around 300 tonnes of uranium now turns a profit. "There is about 0.25 percent of uranium in every tonne extracted compared with about 0.10 percent for similar operations in India. It is a very respectable quality," boasted chief engineer Petr Kriz.
He admits conditions below ground for the 115 miners - the rest of the workforce are support staff and employed in processing and cleaning operations - appear primitive.
Wire netting and rusting corrugated iron panels and air ducts cover the network of tunnels of the 24-floor complex. Engineers cut timber supports at the cramped faces where small teams of miners will work with the aid of hammer drills and a mechanical claw to pull rocks towards waiting wagons.
The Australian company claimed modernisation could boost production and profits at Rozna but Kriz argued: "There is not much space, it is difficult to use other methods."
The mine was opened in 1958 not for profit, but as part of the Cold War uranium mining boom when communist Czechoslovakia was one of the main suppliers of the Soviet military-industrial complex.
It was one of half a dozen major uranium mines dotted across the country which sent 96,600 tonnes of uranium, currently valued at more than 470 billion koruna (16.7 billion euros), to the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1989.

I've written a few times about the many unexpected complexities involved in getting an IP storage network to work optimally. Whether you're using NFS or iSCSI, it's not surprising that the switches you choose -- and how you configure them -- can make an enormous difference in both the performance and reliability you can expect to achieve.
Though 10Gbps Ethernet is becoming far less expensive than it once was, you'll still pay a substantial premium for it in comparison with 1Gbps Ethernet. This cost rears its head not only in the switches, but also in items as simple as cabling; even twin-ax direct-attached copper cables run around $150 each, a fair sight more expensive than a $5 CAT5e cable. For enterprises seeking the high bandwidths and simplicity that 10GbE can offer, it can be an excellent and entirely worthwhile investment, but most of us simply don't need it yet.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Matt Prigge helps you answer the eternal question: NFS or iSCSI? | Sign up for InfoWorld's Data Explosion newsletter for news and updates on how to deal with growing volumes of data in the enterprise. ]
That's why the vast majority of IP-based storage implementations use garden-variety 1Gbps Ethernet technology and rely upon multipath I/O or link aggregation to achieve performance in excess of 1Gbps. Though it's absolutely true you can use general-purpose networking gear for IP storage, not all 1Gbps Ethernet switches are well-suited to handling the loads associated with IP storage. Here are a few guidelines you can use to grade your options if you find yourself on the hunt.
Flow control and packet buffers
Another crucial switch tech is 802.3x flow control, a mechanism that allows an Ethernet interface to issue a packet called a "pause" frame that signals to the system on the other end it should stop sending traffic for a specified period of time (usually very, very small). This is extremely valuable in IP storage applications as a device, be it the client, SAN, or switch, can signal to the sending device that it is overwhelmed -- a process very similar to asking a coworker who has had too much coffee to speak just a bit more slowly.
Without flow control, when a link or device becomes overwhelmed with traffic, some traffic will inevitably be dropped. When that occurs, the sending and receiving hosts will detect it and retransmit the missing packets. That can take a relatively large amount of time and result in noticeably decreased performance.
Thus, a good IP storage switch will both honor and retransmit flow control pause frames issued by servers and storage devices attached to it, then issue them itself when it becomes overwhelmed. Now, you might think, if I have a switch with a nonblocking backplane, how could I ever have a situation where the switch itself is overwhelmed?
Imagine a situation where a number of hosts are writing a large amount of data to a SAN and that traffic is all trying to get down a single gigabit Ethernet port. In that scenario, there will undoubtedly be times (even if they are extremely short) when a port's available bandwidth will be less than the traffic that needs to be sent. In that case, the switch will typically use its output packet buffer to store the data waiting to be sent until there is adequate bandwidth available. However, if the packet buffer is filled, traffic will be unceremoniously dropped. By issuing a pause frame to the sending hosts, the switch can give itself time to empty its buffers.

Police: Newnan man shot at brother over beer
by Wes Mayer
A man suspected of shooting at his brother was arrested by Newnan Police officers on Sunday.
Around 9:15 p.m., Officer Anthony Grant with the Newnan Police Department responded to Hatcher Street about a dispute between two brothers. According to Grant in his police report, while en route, dispatchers alerted him that one man had a firearm and was shooting at another man.
When Grant arrived, a man, who turned out to be the victim, ran out of the home, Grant reported. Unsure if the man was armed, Grant drew his weapon and ordered him onto the ground. More people then ran out of the home shouting "He has a gun inside" and "He's shooting at us." They were followed by another man, who Grant said was the suspect, Sampson Remond Parks, 29. When Parks walked out onto the porch, the crowd of people told Grant, "That's him right there."
Grant said he ordered everyone to lie on the ground, and while waiting for backup, another group of people ran around from the other side of the residence. Grant kept this group back from the scene.
More officers arrived and both Parks and his brother were handcuffed and placed in separate patrol vehicles, according to Grant. Officers then spoke to witnesses and were told Parks allegedly shot at his brother after getting into an argument over some beer.
Witnesses told police that the victim gave Parks some money to buy him beer, but after the victim retrieved the beer, the two brothers began to argue. This escalated to Parks pulling out a 9mm handgun and firing a bullet into the floor. The victim then walked outside, Parks followed him and fired another shot. Witnesses did not see the second shot, but heard it, according to Grant.
No one was injured in the incident, but witnesses said a 9-year-old relative of Parks was inside the home during the altercation, according to Grant. Parks was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and was transported to the Coweta County Jail.

Last week, President Obama delivered a much-anticipated speech where he outlined his job creation proposal, while also taking a few shots at some of his political adversaries.
Obama proposed a one-year elimination of the capital gains tax on small business investment in an effort to promote economic expansion in the private sector. He also plans to offer business owners tax credits to boost hiring and unused Wall Street bailout money to increase lending.
Two other programs that the president discussed include a substantial investment in infrastructure and a government sponsored "green" initiative that will give people rebates to retrofit their home to become more energy efficient.
Before Obama spoke of future plans for economic growth, he pointed the finger back at those who opposed his previous recovery plan.
"We were forced to take those steps [to jump-start the economy] largely without the help of an opposition party which, unfortunately, after having presided over the decision-making that had led to the crisis, decided to hand it over to others to solve," he stated.
Meanwhile, Republicans have been fuming over the decision to take unused Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money and spend it on another stimulus program.
"Any [money] left over was meant to go to the deficit," said Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio). "The idea of taking this money and spending it is repulsive," he added.

Proof of Performance:
Career Portfolios an Emerging Trend for Both Active and Passive Job-Seekers, Part 1
Having an Online Presence
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D., and Katharine Hansen Ph.D.
[Part 1 of 7 of Career Portfolios: Proof of Performance]
One of the hot topics in job-hunting relates to the degree to which recruiters and human-resource professionals are "googling" prospective candidates. The point of this exercise (using whatever search engine they wish, though "googling" has become an accepted term for this practice) is to see what kind of information is available online about the job-seeker.
According to a recent study by ExecuNet, three out of four recruiters conduct Internet searches on candidates -- and one in four has dropped candidates based on the results of the search. "Smart hiring managers will always Google their prospective people," says Allison Hemming, president of the Hired Guns, a New York interim-staffing company, in an article on CareerJournal.com.
So, we asked recruiters and career professionals in the focus groups about the importance of having an online presence. Most of our participants described it as an emerging trend that is not yet in widespread use -- except, perhaps, for higher-level positions (where one would expect to find more documentation of work experience, but where the stakes are also higher).
"I have not actually googled a candidate; however, I would do so now. I would be looking for corroboration of information in the portfolio and resume, if possible," stated a former college career-services professional. "News articles can be helpful, as well as information about the current employer."
If a job-seeker is working to develop an online presence, it's critical also to remove sensitive or potentially damaging information from the Web. "Negative components could be Web pages that are 'too personal' and/or unprofessional," a focus-group participant and former college career-services professional notes.
A professional resume writer in the focus group states, "I believe the importance of an online presence for job-seekers parallels the importance of an online presence for companies 10 years ago, when the Web was first gaining traction. In time, as with Web sites for companies, an online presence will be second nature to job-seekers -- like a resume, but better as it continues to promote the 24/7, and can provide more and better information than the traditional constraints of a paper resume allow."
"If you don't have an identity on the Web, you don't exist," stated Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext, an enterprise social software company, in an article published in NewsFactor Network.

Submission AMD brings new desktop chips down to 65W->
crookedvulture writes: AMD's new Llano-powered A-series APUs have had a difficult birth on the desktop. The first chips were saddled with a 100W power rating, making them look rather unattractive next to Intel's 65W parts. Now, AMD has rolled out a 65W version of Llano that's nearly as fast as its 100W predecessor despite drawing considerably less power under load. This A8-3800 APU doesn't skimp on integrated graphics, which is key to Llano's appeal. If you're not going to be using the built-in Radeon, the value proposition of AMD's latest desktop APUs looks a little suspect.

Welcome to Player Attack!
2K Games has proudly announced that it has won the rights to an exclusive, multi-year deal with WWE to distribute the critically acclaimed wrestling video game franchise "across all major platforms and distribution channels". The news confirms what we'd heard last week, which is that the publisher picked up the series following the demise of THQ.
It's really only the publisher that has changed, too. Japanese developer Yuke's will continue to work on the games, designed to "combine the studio's signature gameplay with 2K's commitment to authenticity" - and we can expect WWE '14 to arrive next year, the latest iteration in the super-popular series.
David Ismailer, Chief Operating Officer for 2K explains:
The WWE series is a great addition to our stable of triple-A titles, and we're very happy with this exclusive agreement with our new partners. We look forward to capturing the excitement of WWE and marrying it with the same commitment to authenticity and entertainment that we give to our NBA 2K and MLB 2K franchises.
The WWE franchise is in safe hands: 2K Games has a strong (long) history of growing premier sports titles - selling more than 15 million units worldwide of games like NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12 and NBA 2K13 to date.
Casey Collins, Executive Vice President, Consumer Products for WWE continues:
2K's reputation for outstanding quality and dedication to authenticity are a perfect fit for WWE. This new partnership will ensure that WWE continues to be one of the leading video game brands in the world and we look forward to continuing the franchise with the benefit of their expertise across a variety of platforms.
There's no release date, or too many details, for WWE 14 at this stage, but rest assured, it's the "most authentic WWE experience on game consoles", and it's headed your way befor the end of 2013.
[…] that the entire copyright statement has now been rewritten, updating 2011 to 2013, switching all THQ references to 2K Games, and any mention of Andre The Giant has been […]
[…] who recently acquired the WWE licence after THQ went away and added it to their roster of yearly sports releases, are promising 45 […]
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

Shaquille O'Neal gets physical and the Cavs get a win in their return home by toughening up on defense
One half of running up and down the floor trading baskets with the Raptors made for entertaining basketball by the Cavaliers.
But it's not what their coach enjoys when it results in the type of defense they played for a half Tuesday.
"What we were lacking in the first half was a physical presence," Cavs Head Coach Mike Brown said.
Enter 7-foot-1, 325-pound Shaquille O'Neal, who perfectly fit the bill of "physical presence" in the Cavs' 108-100 win. He anchored a strong second-half defensive effort, as the Cavs held the Raptors scoreless during the game's final 2:44 in front of a sellout crowd of 20,562 at Quicken Loans Arena.
"They were getting a lot of (layups in the first half)," O'Neal said. "We came in at halftime and Coach and LeBron (James) jumped on us, and we really wanted to pick it up."
Led by O'Neal, the Cavs picked it up. The Raptors got just four field goals in the paint and shot 38.9 percent from the floor in the second half. That's after scoring 24 points in the paint and shooting 55.3 percent the first half.
"Our physical presence in the second half was evident ... and I thought that was the difference," Brown said.
O'Neal wasn't afraid to deliver a hard foul in shutting down the paint on defense, while also coming up with some big offensive plays late.
"His presence in the paint on both ends of the floor was big for us," Brown said.
O'Neal's 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting and five rebounds tell only a part of his contribution. More indicative perhaps were his five fouls, including two bone-rattling fouls to prevent layups by DeMar DeRozan and Jarrett Jack in the third.
"He's about covering the interior and he doesn't care about putting guys on the floor," James said.
The 6-7, 220-pound DeRozan went to the floor first after driving into O'Neal. It was the 6-3, 197-pound Jack's turn to lose a collision with O'Neal midway through the third.
"He's just such a big, strong man," Brown said. "When you run into him, you feel it."
Toronto appeared to have felt enough. The Raptors scored only 25 points over the final 18 minutes. Their forays into the paint started ending in turnovers and weak shots.
"We were more physical on the defensive end and we got stops," James said.
It allowed the Cavs (32-11) to win in their return home after a 10-day road trip and build momentum for Thursday's showdown with the Lakers. For the Raptors (21-21), it's just their fourth loss in 14 games.
But it wasn't all physical play from Shaq that made a difference. He also showed he could still move his feet when he switched onto 6-10 Hedo Turkoglu. Protecting a 98-94 lead, O'Neal forced Turkoglu into missing a tough driving layup with 5:06 left.
Page 2 of 2 - "That was a big play," Brown said. "He made Turkoglu drive the basketball and try to finish with his left hand over him."
It came in the middle of a nice offensive stretch by O'Neal. He found Mo Williams for an open 3-pointer moments before it. Not long after it, James hit Varejao for a layup and a 100-94 lead. After another empty Toronto possession, O'Neal found a cutting James for a two-hand dunk with 4:26 left.
James led the Cavs with a near triple-double — 28 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. Williams added 22 points and 10 assists.
Chris Bosh led the Raptors with 21 points, while Andrea Bargnani scored 19. But the Cavs limited those two to one field goal each in the fourth quarter.

The Critical Care Fellowship Training Program of the University of Washington is a collaborative one-year program administered by the Departments of Medicine and Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. The program accepts graduates of residency programs in multiple disciplines including medicine, anesthesiology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology and emergency medicine. Candidates are selected based on their preparedness and ability to benefit from the Program.
Completion of this one-year Critical Care Fellowship allows graduates of residencies in anesthesiology or obstetrics to sit for the ABA certification exam, and graduates of surgical residencies to sit for the ACS certification exam in critical care medicine. Graduates of internal medicine residencies who have also completed a sub-specialty fellowship are eligible to sit for the ABIM certification exam in critical care after this one-year program, but two years of critical care training are required for Board-eligibility after graduation from an internal medicine residency alone.
The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine also offers an innovative five-year combined Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine Program that confers ABA board eligibility if successfully completed. The first three years of training parallel those of trainees in the "conventional" anesthesiology residency track, and include a total of five months of intensive care unit rotations. The last two years of training integrate 12 months of advanced critical care medicine at the fellow level with conventional anesthesia rotations and electives. The advanced critical care rotations are jointly administered with the Department of Medicine, and are generally identical to those offered through the conventional one-year Critical Care Medicine Fellowship.

Aptitude, academic credentials, personal characteristics and communication skills are considered in the selection process
Fellows rotate through a broad mix of ICUs within the UW system in a schedule that it is integrated with the Pulmonary Critical Care Fellowship. The Critical Care Division of the Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Department includes 15 faculty who are trained in Critical Care Medicine, and who contribute to the education of critical care fellows.
Fellows split their time between three Seattle clinical sites: University of Washington Medical Center; Harborview Medical Center; and Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System - Seattle Division, with the majority of time spent at Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC).
The University of Washington Medical Center offers fellows several ICU services:
Harborview Medical Center is the hospital for King County, and is also the only level-one trauma center in a four state region (Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho, or "WAMI"). The hospital is owned by the county, and managed by the University of Washington. Fellows rotate on three services at Harborview:
The third site is the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System - Seattle Division, where fellows rotate through the following service:
In addition to nine months of core ICU rotations, electives are available in radiology, cardiology/echocardiograpy, nephrology, infectious disease, and independent study.
A variety of structured educational opportunities exist in addition to ongoing clinical education. The Anesthesiology Critical Care Division holds a quarterly journal club meeting for faculty, fellows, and combined program trainees. Fellows also take part in the Pulmonary Division's weekly Chest Conference, a CPC-type format where fellows present teaching cases for attendings to discuss. This conference is followed by a didactic session each week. Every rotation has specific didactics, and a weekly multidisciplinary critical care journal club takes place at Harborview. An extensive array of research-based journal clubs and conferences are available through the fellowship.
The University of Washington provides a vibrant environment for interdisciplinary biomedical research. The Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Medicine, and Surgery Departments all offer opportunities for research in basic science and clinical aspects of Critical Care and related fields. Collaboration among departments is common, and provides for a rich intellectual atmosphere. The University of Washington School of Medicine ranked sixth among U.S. medical schools in receiving NIH funding in 2005, with grants totaling more than $300 million..
Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington have an illustrious history of leadership in research in critical care medicine. The Critical Care Division of the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine is actively involved in outcomes-based research at Harborview Medical Center, providing opportunities for critical care fellows to gain exposure to clinical research. For trainees interested in more in-depth research training with the intent to pursue an academic career, several opportunities exist. The department offers a two-year research fellowship in basic science or clinical research for trainees interested in focused research training that is funded by an NIH training grant. Another mechanism for research training is present in the form of research "faculty-fellowships" that combine clinical work with basic science or clinical research training, which are funded by clinical revenue.

Global Empire
Who are the real terrorists in Mali?Standard
When the international community pays more in ransom to terrorists than it devotes to "military training" or "development" the inevitable result is a corrupt and empowered Mali army exacting revenge on poor farmers in the North, stealing their livestock and throwing them in jail on spurious "terrorism" charges. These people will rot under torture in filthy, overcrowded prisons without food, sanitation, or health care until they die, like Mohamed Ag Hassan, forgotten and ignored by all, even the "aid" agencies.
What becomes of their wives, children, and the rest of their families, robbed of their menfolk and livelihood, dispossessed of their homes? They become refugees..
#Stuxnet precursor still in the wild. Are you a carrier?Standard
Did Iran figure out the exploit, has the magic turned on the magician, forcing Microsoft to issue an alert, or is this just (MS) window-dressing for the nuke talks?
Given the close date of the next Patch Tuesday for November, we […] will probably have to wait until December – Wolfgang Kandek, CTO, Qualys, Inc
Since we knew about this attack vector for a couple of years (at least) why did they wait so long? Whatever, if you didn't already think about how this might affect you, or those you are directly or indirectly connected to, best to take some precautions.
What to do if, like the embargoed Iranians, you OR your contacts use older versions of MS Office, MS Word, and Windows:
- Set your email reader to NOT display images by default, since apparently this code tries to run even when only previewing email messages
- Do NOT send MS Word files as email attachments. Convert to plain text, RTF, WordPad, etc (NOT PDF) or share using an online application. Better yet, paste the plain text into your email.
- Do NOT preview, open, or forward MS Word file attachments.
- Microsoft is encouraging customers concerned with the risk associated with this vulnerability to deploy two fixes
More details:
Microsoft is investigating private reports of a vulnerability in the Microsoft Graphics component that affects Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Office 2003 through 2010 – in other words, the older versions of software organizations in Iran are likely to be stuck with because of the sanctions against supplying technology to the regime – and all supported versions of Microsoft Lync. Microsoft is aware of targeted attacks, largely in the Middle East and South Asia, that attempt to exploit this vulnerability in Microsoft Office products that affects customers using them.
The vulnerability is a remote code execution vulnerability that exists in the way affected components handle specially crafted TIFF images. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to preview or open a specially crafted email message, open a specially crafted file, or browse specially crafted web content. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's website, or by opening an attachment sent through email.
Monsanto Brings Agro-Slavery to AfricaStandard
Millions of people worldwide are against food products grown with genetically modified organisms (GMO). In May, two million people voiced their distaste of GMO products during demonstrations in 50 countries, according to a Natural News article in August, which states:
Monsanto, the most hated corporation in the world, has a deceptive message for you
Generally speaking, many of the biggest bio-tech companies in the world would have us believe that GMOs are 'perfectly safe' and designed to 'more efficiently' feed the world. But, GMOs do not generate greater yields; effectively resist drought conditions; have greater nutritional value or any other consumer benefit.
In fact, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers' and consumers' rights. The unforeseen consequences of altering the natural growth cycle of our food may be staggering. The following is just a sample of what the experts say:
"The process of genetic engineering always involves the risk of altering the genetics and cellular functioning of a food organism in unanticipated ways. These unanticipated alterations can result in GE foods being allergenic, toxic, or reduced in nutritional value". – Professor John Fagan, award-winning Geneticist, Maharishi University of Management, Iowa, USA.
Back in 1998, Bob Shapiro (the eventual CEO of Monsanto) even admitted that the effects of GMOs are unknown when he said:
"But we realize that with any new and powerful technology with unknown, and to some degree unknowable – by definition – effects, then there necessarily will be an appropriate level at least, and maybe even more than that, of public debate and public interest."
Since its inception, Professor Richard Lacey, a microbiologist, medical doctor, and Professor of Food Safety at Leeds University has been strongly against the introduction of genetically engineered foods because of the health risks. Professor Lacey make an important point:
"The fact is, it is virtually impossible to even conceive of a testing procedure to assess the health effects of genetically engineered foods when introduced into the food chain, nor is there any valid nutritional or public interest reason for their introduction."
Facing demonstrations, especially in Western countries, where many people don't believe that GMO products are safe for human consumption, Monsanto Co. is searching for new markets.
According to the Natural News, Monsanto sent out "'Biotech ambassadors' [who are] engaging in massive Monsanto-backed PR operations to push GMOs into Africa."
Monsanto does not deny its interest in Africa and states on its website that it provides maize germplasm, which is genetic resources for an organism, to develop maize hybrids in Africa. It also donates to the Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) project, which provides valuable research for growing drought-tolerant and insect-protected products.
The Kenyan-based African Agricultural Technology Foundation is the leader of the WEMA project, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and USAID provide funds.
According to Monsanto, "The project is in its sixth year and is approaching a significant milestone as the first WEMA conventional maize hybrid will be available for commercial planting in Kenya by the end of 2013."
Expenditures and Profits Mushrooming
Nevertheless, "the genetic modification of crops is a lengthy and obscenely expensive business," states a report from the African Center for Biosafety, released this month.
Research and development plus getting regulatory approval is rather costly, and the companies need to recoup the funds they expended before their move into Africa.
In 2012, Monsanto claimed that it "invests more than $500 million annually to identify and develop new solutions for growers."
As far back as 2002, the GMO producing companies built into their sales prices the costs to develop, produce, and market their products, according to another report by the African Center for Biosafety, released this month.
Before genetically modified food hit the market, seed expenditures for farmers growing corn increased $0.30 per acre annually. Costs increased to $1.34 per acre annually for the GMO seeds.
"The impact of the Bt [bacillus thuringienis] corn premium on seed industry profits has been remarkable," the African Center report states.
Earnings for Syngenta AG, a global Swiss chemical company that markets seeds and pesticides and produces GMO products, increased by more than 18 percent between 1998 and 2000. During the same period, Monsanto's earnings increased by 9 percent, and DuPont Pioneer's (formerly Pioneer Hi-Bred) increased by 7.3 percent.
Greed and Agricultural Dominance
With profits earned in the developed nations, Monsanto is going into Africa, providing its services for free, according to the African Center report.
However, the cost of going into Africa needs to be recouped within time. At this time, the push toward producing GMO products, mainly maize, is done free of charge to the African farmers. This looks very charitable, especially with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and USAID involved.
It gets problematic in the future, because the farmer has to continue to buy seeds from Monsanto instead of returning to the age-old way of growing maize, which is saving and reusing seeds.
The problem lies in the fact that the chemicals that entered the ground when using the GMO products take years before they are completely gone, while the land lies fallow and can't be used.
"It is about power, control and greed," according to a September Natural News article. Quoting the Motley Fool, the article concludes, "A new era of agricultural colonialism will be born where the local farmer ends up becoming enslaved to the global profit demands of corporate agriculture."

What if change never comes?Standard
Are you waiting for change? Change that was promised to you in the last election campaign, or the one before that, or even earlier? What if that change never comes? The clips in this video highlight something we all know but either ignore, or feel powerless to change. Politics is losing its appeal, the lines are blurring, and political leaders, regardless of their party affiliation, seem to be singing the same tired old tune.
Having allowed ourselves to be seduced by bold political promises ay election time, when we look back we often see that, in reality, very little has changed. Certainly it feels like there have been very few significant changes for the better in recent years. It's common to see articles complaining about how "they" – usually meaning one or other political leader – have failed to introduce beneficial changes, while at the same time introducing unexpected changes that have a negative impact, or are imposed on us without consultation. However, what should ultimately determine genuine change at the political level, is the extent to which we, as individuals, want that change. It should depend on whether we are willing to accept change, and the costs or benefits it brings.
But we also know that people do not always welcome or enjoy change. Much of the time, it scares them and makes them feel anxious and insecure. Even beneficial changes, like getting married, having a baby, or starting a new job, are among the most stressful events in our lives. The politicians making those bold speeches about "change" know this too. In fact, they rely on it to prevent people complaining about broken promises, or banding together to demand consultation on important changes, or campaigning to repeal new laws that represent abuse of power.
If you really want 'change you can believe in', start by believing in your power to think and reason for yourself. Learn how to step back and resist the impulsive urge, or urgent authoritative command, to jump to conclusions or follow the herd. Give yourself permission to not have an opinion, at least until you have had time to consider all the evidence and to think critically, outside of the margins of the information being presented to you. Be OK with "I don't know yet" or "I'm not sure yet" and even with "I might never know." You don't have to believe everything you hear or read. You don't have to be a "follower" just because someone else is a "leader."
The strange part is, we all accept that we don't and can't have the answer to absolutely everything, but we can easily be swayed to react in a certain way whenever we are reminded of just how much we don't know, or if we are made to feel threatened. These are cheap vaudeville tricks, which have earned their place in the entertainment industry, but they can take on a darker aspect when used by statesmen, media, or corporations, to manipulate public opinion. Uncertainty is not the enemy, it's one of the most fundamental principles of life. Don't give it up without stopping to think or question.

AMERKS REFLECT ON SEASON'S END AS PLAYERS RETURN HOME FOR SUMMERFeatures | 5/13/2013 4:48:07 PM | Warren Kosel
Last Friday's gathering among the Rochester Americans players wasn't like any normal day of work at The Blue Cross Arena. The players reported to the rink like they normally do, but the circumstances surrounding the day presented a much different feel as the disappointment of another season's end lingered throughout the halls and weighed heavy on the minds of Rochester's team.
And less than 36 hours later, barely even enough time to digest their second straight early exit from the postseason, all that was left was for the Amerks players was a locker to clean out and a ride home to catch.
For the better part of the last eight months, over 30 players from five different countries called Rochester their home and forged what at the start of the season was a collective group of individuals into a close-knit brotherhood – one that only truly can be found in professional sports, especially hockey. Friday's final reunion brought the Amerks family together for one last time as the players packed up their belongings and said their good-byes before returning home for the summer, but of course, not without one last exchange of friendly locker room banter.
But when all is said and done, the feeling of a season's end is bittersweet as the players went their separate ways and embarked on their own journeys home, leaving behind their hockey family and a sense of familiarity. For some, it was perhaps the last time they would ever be in the same room together, let alone the same continent. But nonetheless, the sentiment of falling short of your goal remains constant as the organization shifts its gears into offseason mode where rebuilding will be the main focus when the puck drops again in the fall.
"I think (Thursday) was probably the worst day, because you come into the rink and you're kind of waiting for the guys to come in for practice and you realize again you're not going any further," said Amerks interim head coach Chadd Cassidy, who guided Rochester to a 43-29-3-1 (second place, North Division) record in 2012-13 and a berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs for the second straight year.
"We had a great group of guys this year and I'm going to miss coming to the rink for the next little bit," added Cassidy. "It stings because I thought this team was good enough to play a lot more hockey, but unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way."
Thus, the rebuilding phase begins. That's not to say the Amerks had an unsuccessful season by any means as there were several moments over the course of the last eight months that really showcased the character of the team. On the surface, it may have appeared that Rochester was bounced from postseason play early, but the Amerks' first-round series against Toronto marked the third time in four years they qualified for the playoffs and the 43rd postseason appearance overall in the 57-year history of the franchise. Not a bad track record for the American Hockey League's second-oldest team when all things considered. The Amerks went 7-3-0-0 over their final 10 games of the season and finished with 43 wins and 90 points, representing the first time since the 2009-10 season Rochester reached the 90-point mark in a season. From an organizational standpoint, though, there's always room for improvement and that's something both the Amerks and Sabres will examine closely heading into the summer months.
"For us, the rebuilding phase will be a plan that's outlined with management in Buffalo," said Cassidy. "I'm sure we'll be getting together in the coming weeks to start our initial meetings and evaluations of where our rosters are at right now and the needs we need to address and that obviously starts with the Sabres lineup and works its way into ours."
The first order of business was done last week when the Buffalo Sabres removed the interim tag from Ron Rolston and introduced the former Amerks bench boss as their new head coach for the 2013-14 season. The Sabres promoted Rolston to serve as their head coach on an interim basis on Feb. 20 following the dismissal of Lindy Ruff, the all-time winningest coach in franchise history and the then-longest tenured coach in the NHL, who was relieved of his duties after 16 years behind the Buffalo bench. Rolston becomes the 16th head coach in Sabres history after compiling a 63-56-5 regular-season record over 1 ½ seasons with the Amerks, who he led to the Calder Cup Playoffs in just his first season as an American Hockey League coach. He officially made his NHL coaching debut in Buffalo's 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Feb. 21 at the Air Canada Centre and closed out the campaign with a 15-11-5 record at the helm of the Sabres in first stint at the National Hockey League level.
The departure of Rolston to Buffalo in February, however, meant the elevation of Cassidy as the new top guy in Rochester. Cassidy, who previously worked alongside Rolston for five seasons at USA Hockey's National Team Development Program, became the 30th head coach in Amerks history and the first to take over the position as a midseason replacement since John Van Boxmeer was appointed the title midway through the 1984-85 season. Cassidy made his American Hockey League head coaching debut in Rochester's 5-1 loss to the Texas Stars on Feb. 20 and earned his first win in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Syracuse Crunch on Mar 2. He went 16-11-1-0 as head coach, and since Mar. 2, guided the Amerks to an incredible 16-7-1-0 record and a second straight playoff berth.
Although it's always difficult to accept defeat, especially given the abundance of talent that comprised the Amerks dressing room, the early dismissal from the postseason also provided some time to reflect on the last eight months. Despite the overwhelming disappointment of their first-round departure, there are still plenty of positives the players are focusing on that will carry them through the summer months and into next season.
"It was a great year for us," said veteran forward Matt Ellis, who took over as team captain for the final two months of the regular season. "Sitting here, digesting on how the season went, I'm really proud of the way our team battled in our series against Toronto. It's unfortunate we're sitting here packing our bags instead of playing hockey, but at the end of the day, I really thought we did a heck of a job and really gave them a pretty good run," said Ellis, who finished the season with 12 points (7+5) in 32 games with Rochester.
The Amerks shouldn't be too disconcerted, however, as there were several players who were responsible for making this season a successful one – none more so than goaltender David Leggio. A year after single-handedly guiding the Amerks into the postseason, Leggio again had another big year between the pipes for Rochester after making a repeat performance as team MVP. The 2012-13 campaign saw the fifth-year netminder finish the regular season as the AHL's leader in wins (38), saves (1,957), shots against (2,119), minutes played (3,800), and games played (64) while ranking fourth with a .924 save percentage. In addition, the Williamsville, N.Y, native, also captured his third straight 20-win season and became just the seventh goaltender in franchise history to win at least 35 games in a season.
Since Feb. 22, 2012, Leggio has started 92 of Rochester's 105 regular-season and playoff games and has earned 51 of the team's 56 wins. He ended the season having set new AHL career-highs in all goaltending categories, including goals-against average (2.56), save percentage (.924), wins (38), saves (1,957), shutouts (4), minutes (3,800) and games played (64) and led all AHL netminders with a 9-1 shootout record. He also challenged the AHL record for saves in a season (2,005), established by Mike O'Neill with the Baltimore Bandits in 1995-96, but came up shy 48 saves.
Leggio, though, attributes much of his success this season to that of his teammates, who aided him in key situations and helped the Amerks get much-needed wins down the stretch.
"Definitely the wins," said Leggio on what he claimed was the most important and meaningful to the Amerks this season. "That's the most important stat to the team are the wins. If you have a good game as a goalie or a forward or a defenseman, it doesn't matter if you don't win. No one is going to be happy, so it was nice to get those 'Ws'," said Leggio, who manned the pipes for 64 of Rochester's 76 regular-season games in 2012-13.
For one player, the season represented a unique opportunity to return "home" where it all began. The return to Rochester proved to be quite the homecoming for veteran forward Mark Mancari, who had another successful season as an Amerk since joining the organization as a rookie for the 2005-06 campaign. The eight-year pro led the Amerks in all offensive categories in goals (22), assists (39) and points (61) and ended the season ranked 11th in scoring among the AHL's top point-getters. Mancari also finished tied for ninth in assists, which included the 10th-most on the power-play with 18. His 279 shots on goal were also tops in the AHL and were 36 more than the next closest player.
Entering this year, Mancari ranked 46th all-time in scoring amongst forwards in franchise history with 156 points (62+94) in 215 career games in the red, white and blue, but has since climbed to 24th on the list, surpassing some notable names like Dane Jackson, Scott Nichol, Jason Pominville and most recently, Wally Boyer, along the way. Mancari added another personal milestone at Toronto on Feb. 27, scoring his 200th pro career goal and recording his 200th point as an Amerk, becoming just 30th player in team history to reach the mark. After hitting the 57-point mark for the third straight season with the Amerks, a feat he also accomplished during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 campaigns in Rochester, Mancari ended this season surpassing the 60-point plateau for the fourth time in his career.
"It was nice to be back in an organization where I've been for a long time and also close to home, so it was a good overall year," said Mancari, who completed his fourth season with the Amerks in 2012-13.
Despite all the ample downtime the summer months provide, the offseason also brings with it a period of wonder and uncertainty as many of this year's players will test the free agent market in the hopes to secure employment for another season. The process is a stressful and nerve-racking one, but nonetheless a formality that athletes are forced to endure over the course of their professional careers. With the case of Rochester's veterans, however, they instead approach the offseason with the mindset that it's also an opportunity to return to the Amerks for another year, where they can still play the game at the second-best level and aid in the development of Buffalo's up-and-coming top prospects.
"There's unfortunately nothing any of us can do at this point, except see what the future holds," said Leggio on becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Ellis, who also enters the offseason in search of a job for the 2013-14 season, echoed Leggio's testaments on the uncertainty of it all. Having played over 700 professional games, including 267 NHL appearances with Detroit, Los Angeles and Buffalo, Ellis has undoubtedly experienced his fair share of strenuous moments over his 11-year career.
"It's just one of those things where uncertainty is in the air, but something I've been through before," said Ellis. "It's just something you live with. It's all part of the package when you sign up to be a professional hockey player. They're only so many guys that get the big long-term deals that have that security and know what's going on day-to-day, but you take things one day at a time and talk to the right people. This organization is definitely a place I've called home and they've been great to me over the past five years."
"My heart has really grown here in Rochester and under the Sabres organization," added Ellis. "They've treated me well and I think I battled hard for them. It's a place where my family really likes it and I do professionally as well, but we'll see what happens."

The best budget cigar you will ever find
rmill3r on 12/10/14
Sometimes, you need to watch your budget a little more closely than usual while still hoping to enjoy that sweet tobacco taste and aroma you're used to. Sometimes, you just need something short that won't have you sitting outside in the freezing cold tundra of your middle-of-nowhere town (or the coma-inducing heat of your city perfectly placed over the center of Hell itself). In either case, Arturo Fuente's Hemingway Short Story is the be-all, end-all. While personally I think the perfecto tip is pointless other than aligning itself with the "Hemingway" theme, this cigar is nutty, creamy, flavorful and does not wear out its welcome. Perfect for when you don't have a lot of time or just want a short-but-sweet smoke, the Short Story is an excellent example of reservation at its finest. Like one of Hemingway's real-life masterpiece short stories, this cigar gets to the point in a hurry and never stays longer than it should.

ANY common sense experienced gun owner knows the TRUTH, being that only ONE gun can be fired at a time, competently and accurately, by one person, the rare exception being a practiced EXPERT shootist. and, hunters and farmers make up the most responsible members of society, number one, NOBODY wants to be saddled with the stigmatism of being an irresponsible gun owner, or take unnecessary risk, maybe lose posession. Any gun owner who is RESPONSIBLE with a rifle would be NO LESS RESPONSIBLE with an AR or a handgun. If anybody should decide what type of guns are legal in CANADA, an EXPERIENCED GUN OWNER should be consulted with first and foremost. NOT nanny state anti-freedom hate-mongers.

the simplest solution is to get rid of the rcmp's involvement in firearms regulations. they should abolish the firearms program altogether, and let the legislation stand or fall on its own. the ability to classify guns is a definite pain in the @ss issue. if not the rcmp, who should classify them? and by what process? it would be great to have that left to the federal minister, until the next leftist gov't is formed that is. the rcmp are biased and should not have a say at all. i can't think of any clear way to classify weapons in a reasonable way that cannot and will not be abused by antigun zealots... either way, vic can only muzzle the rcmp appointed FOs, not the provincial opp ones. they are gonna have to go a bit further with the new law to solidify it, or else it will be reversed the next anti gun gov't... perhaps mandating a national referendum on the issue in the future, should any significant changes be proposed by anti gun parties come up, would be a start.

So the CFOs are a bunch of "Safety Sallys" ? Whatever, just fire them all toews, and let god separate the "good" ones from the "bad" ones later. But even before you do that, get rid of the entire firearms act. As long as even a bit of it is standing it's a danger to Canadian's freedom. as we've seen by the cyborg behavior of the bureaucratic mind-set. Time to grow a political pair and man up Toews.

Occupy Is Bad for Business
11:49 AM, Nov 8, 2011 • By DANIEL HALPER
CBS reports that "SoCal Street Cart Vendors Hurting After 'Occupy' Group Splatters Blood, Urine."
And the New York Post reports:
Last week, a cafe near Zuccotti Park reported that Occupy Wall Street caused 21 job layoffs.
It would seem that if the protesters really cared about job creation, they'd pack up and go home.

We noticed that this slut mom has some nice tits, we brought her over for some hardcore fucking, and she did not mind at all. As soon as we arrived we reached for her tits and took them out of their hiding place. We licked her nipples a bit and then got her to undress. We licked her nipples and pussy some more, she then got comfy on the sofa and started masturbating. After that she sucked some cock, got on top and started riding. She turned around and started riding some more and made her ass bounce some more for the camera. We then fucked her doggy smacked her ass a little before giving her some cum on her face.

The latest version works fine for me on LiquidSmooth ROM 1.4 (circle battle shows when icon is selected and stock batt shows when circle is selected).
Did you re-apply the theme after updating in market AND reboot? Didn't work for me until I did both.
[/COLOR]Razer, would it be possible to make pop-up diaglogs and menus (like the power menu) partially transparent and also theme the reboot menu black to match everything else (I'm guessing the reboot menu is a limitation of the theme chooser or u would have already done so) ?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
I don't really like transparent dialogs :/

"Non-GMO" and "GMO-free" labels popped up all over food products in the past few years. However, many people do not understand what the label means.
GMO stands for genetically modified organisms, which are crops that have been genetically altered to add new qualities, such as the ability to resist herbicide, a substance that's toxic to plants, and plant diseases. This resistance allows farmers to harvest more crops.
Although GMOs have been around for almost 20 years, this method of farming has only recently received attention as more people recognize the negative health impacts related to genetically modified foods.
One of the more controversial aspects of the GMO issue is food labeling. No certification process exists to verify whether foods are free of GMOs. In fact, America is one of the only countries without provisions in place for GMO labeling. Close to 30 countries enforce GMO labeling, with some even banning specific GMO crops.
The FDA has been reluctant to allow GMO-related labeling because labels may be misleading to consumers, as there is no significant scientific evidence to support increased health risks.
According to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's website, however, several animal studies revealed GMOs caused "organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility."
From the few human studies that have been conducted, evidence suggests genetically modified foods leave material behind inside us, which could cause long-term issues. In addition, the AAEM points out that "numerous health problems increased after GMOs were introduced in 1996."
Another debate about GMOs is whether they are best used as or food or fuel. Supporters claim that increases in production of crops will help curb rising food prices. In addition, these crops could be used to make biofuel, which helps America wean off its dependence on foreign oil. But critics of GMOs argue that investing in this type of engineering will invariably increase food prices.
In addition, one well-known downside of GMOs is that they have no sense of boundary when they're planted. Wind and water can easily carry genetically modified seeds into other areas of farmland and contaminate crops without farmers realizing.
The discussion surrounding GMOs is important because the majority of our basic crops are genetically modified. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, over 90 percent of soybeans and sugar beets, and 85 percent of corn crops were genetically modified in 2010. These may only seem like simple crops, but they are in large amounts of other foods, especially processed products.
For example, corn byproducts like corn starch, high fructose corn syrup and malt, are in almost everything. The next time you pick up a bag of chips, read the ingredients and count all the corn-related chemicals. You will be surprised.
Unfortunately, the only remedy for staying away from GMO-filled foods is a change in eating. This change is really simple, although a little pricey sometimes. As the U.S. National Organic Program forbids the use of GMO practices, eating as organic as possible is the only way to stay away from GMOs. Look for the "GMO-free" label on the products you buy and, as hard as it may be for some of you, try to avoid eating highly-processed foods.

If you were to bottle up the last few years of California garage rock into a single soda can and pop the lid, that crisp and gratifying release might sound something like Thee Oh Sees, Despite being on supposed "hiatus" status, San Francisco's punk rock pride and joy have released this latest nine-track album. The group, captained by frontman John Dwyer along with cool-girl vocalist Brigid Dawson, are linked to the floating L.A.-S.F. trash-rock clique, led by musicians like Ty Segall and his crew, both of which have been dominating the underground rock scenes within both cities for the past few years. Known for their past full-length albums like Castlemania (2011), Carrion Crawler/The Dream (2011) and Putrifiers II (2012), Thee Oh Sees are one of those bands that not only maintains their dynamism and intensity with each album, but seems to somehow get better and better with each, despite their occasionally limiting, over-arching genre. Drop is proof of the band's staggering talent and cool, with a well-rounded nine tracks that represent their well-established sound, but also crosses into some unchartered territory. And it rocks.
The album begins with the alluring, electro intro of Penetrating Eye—an unusual move for these guys. The intro pulls you in and keeps you equally confused and interested, mostly because you know it's about to break out into something crazier. Without disappointment, it does, as the feedback slowly emerges and Dwyer tears into an invigorating guitar riff. Dwyer's unique, recognizable vocals begin and we know we're in for a treat, with the usual "la la las" and "ows!" that he's always consistently nailed. The seven-minute-long masterpiece that follows, Encrypted Base, boasts a repeating guitar riff, a percussion-heavy build-up, and a simple chord progression and strutting bassline, all of which never get old. One of the catchiest, most dynamic tracks, it's riddled with Dwyer's eerie, high-pitched vocals and his well-known call of "woop!" that always seems to remind us that we couldn't be listening to anyone else.
After these first two tracks, the album rockets into success, with a mix of cooler, psychedelic tunes and bigger, heavier, R.O.C.K. Savage Victory, with its whispy vocals and weird vibe, carries hints of obsession, threat and romance all at the same time. Put Some Reverb On My Brother demonstrates Thee Oh Sees' total mastery of their sound, as Dwyer casually croons the ironic phrase, "You can't hear me, I can't hear you," while a guitar shreds in the background. It's one of those strikingly simple, repetitive Thee Oh Sees melodies that somehow grips you for three minutes without pause. Some tracks really embrace the eerie, heavy psychedelia that the group has more recently explored. Camer exudes a bass-heavy, bad boy frustration in which Dwyer sings about "waiting for an opening to explode," whatever that may mean. In tracks like these, the anticipation is totally palpable, and we can actually feel the album simultaneously building, breaking and collapsing into itself. Other tracks like Drop, that mostly just consists of the words "oh yeah," prove to us that this group doesn't even need knotty lyrics to sound good. This appropriately-chosen title track is the perfect encapsulation of Thee Oh Sees' Goldilocks style: not too hard, not too soft, but just right.
A few songs, like The Kings Noise and Lens seem to blatantly harken back to a Beatles-era psychedelia, a move that demonstrates Dwyer and the rest of the band's ever-growing musical maturity. These stranger, feedback-ridden, reverb-heavy tracks show us that Thee Oh Sees are capable of doing whatever they want, whether it's the repeating, head-bobbing garage pop they've mastered or a looser, experimental "trip" moment that we can't help but lose ourselves in. The final track, Lens, is cool, simple and calming, taking the form of a love song, but shifts the group's newfound versatility to another level by throwing listeners a surprisingly sweet-tasting bone. That sweetness is exactly what we need after devouring the indulgent, carb-heavy, extra-sauce sound that is Drop, and (at the risk of allowing this metaphor to spiral further), we leave feeling totally satisfied and craving more at the same time.

Pueblo Toyota to build state-of-the-art dealership

The dealership on Monday will start construction on a larger, state-of-the-art complex on U.S. 50 West to replace its nearby existing site. It will be the first Toyota dealership in Colorado that meets LEEDS energy-saving standards.
Dan Fitzgerald, owner of Pueblo Toyota, said the new dealership will reflect the latest in Toyota's research on improving the car shopping and car repair experience.
"The auto industry has been trying to adapt for the last 10 years to a more modern, customer-friendly environment, where the customers are not so separated when they bring their car in for service," he said.

Bob Tippee
With governments, transparency is transparency and usually something to be commended. A new step toward energy transparency by the UK government, however, might become something for the government itself to regret.
"Greener, transparent government took a step forward today with two ministries displaying their energy use in real-time, online, for the first time," declared a June 9 statement by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
The DECC and Home Office have begun reporting the energy they consume for heat and light. They're displaying real-time data online in units of energy, cost, and related carbon emissions at decc.gov.uk and homeoffice.gov.uk.
All central government headquarters will begin doing likewise in coming months, fulfilling a promise by Prime Minister David Cameron. He has committed to cutting carbon emissions attributable to his government by 10% in the next year.
"There can be no hiding place for energy waste in central government," the DECC said.
Riveting stuff, this: Numbers and colored charts updated every 5 sec, feedback links, the overarching dramatic tension over whether the bureaucracy will meet its emission –reduction goal or not.
If television viewership of the World Cup soccer competition declines in the UK, this surely will be the reason.
Who knows? Brits might skip the constitutional stop for stout at the pub in order to hurry home from work and eat cold suppers in front of their computers so as not to miss anything about Whitehall's energy use and carbon emissions.
With the nation so thoroughly enthralled, of course, questions of interpretation will arise.
What, exactly, does it mean when a government suddenly lowers its energy consumption?
Do lower color bars on real-time energy-use charts mean government workers are wearing coats at their desks during winter, riding The Tube instead of driving to work, and switching off lights when they're last to leave the restroom?
That, of course is the impression that promoters of "green, transparent" governance would like to make.
But there's another possible explanation when members of Her Majesty's bureaucracy lower their collective consumption of energy enough to trim carbon emissions.
Maybe they're just working less.
