PORTLAND, Ore.--Large stationary sources and transportation fuel suppliers will have to report their greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2012 under a rule adopted by the Washington Department of Ecology on Dec. 3.
While the rule goes into effect Jan. 1, reporting will not be required until a year later. During 2011, major sources of greenhouse gas emissions will test how they should best report.
It will be a "get-ready year," Neil Caudill, environmental planner at the department, told BNA Dec. 6.
Beginning in January 2012, large stationary facilities--such as power plants, industrial operations, and landfills--and transportation fuel suppliers must report their greenhouse gas emissions to the department, Caudill said. The annual reporting threshold for such stationary sources is 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.
Fuel suppliers will use existing information on the sale of various fuels through the state Department of Licensing. Suppliers will have to convert the number of gallons of fuel into the amount of carbon dioxide emissions through a formula that includes an emission factor, depending on the type of fuel. Transportation emissions account for nearly half of the state's total greenhouse gas emissions, according to a department statement.
The move follows a 2009 executive order by Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire (D) urging state agencies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A state judge in October dismissed a lawsuit challenging that order (206 DEN A-6, 10/27/10).
Gregoire issued another executive order Nov. 17 that suspended many noncritical proposed rules from all state agencies through 2011 (222 DEN A-4, 11/19/10)).
The Department of Ecology said the greenhouse gas emissions reporting rule is required under state law and is therefore exempt from the executive order.

The couple, married last month, attend the ARK Gala Dinner at London's Kensington Palace
After marrying in England last month, Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford stepped out as a couple for a charity event in London Thursday night.
The lead singer of Mumford & Sons, Mumford, 25, and Mulligan, 26, have kept their relationship fairly private, but were seen Thursday walking arm-in-arm into the ARK Gala Dinner at London's Kensington Palace.
The fundraising event raises money for children's charity partnerships.
It's not the only charity work Mulligan has done this week. She also put the Prada dress she wore to Monday's Met Gala on eBay, saying she'll donate all proceeds to Oxfam.

Since that time Rosemary Ross, company president, says there have been a half dozen concerts at the Gospel Center, most recently and most notable, the Oak Ridge Boys.
"The Oak Ridge Boys was a very successful concert. It attracted people of all ages," said Ross. "We have been trying to rotate the types of acts who play here, so something will appeal to everyone and to all age groups."
If the Oak Ridge Boys and other more contemporary acts who have recently played here, like Rebecca St. James and Fernando Ortega appeal to one type of audience, then the recent Festival Con Dios outdoor youth festival which featured 10 of the best in Christian rock, rap, hip-hop and alternative, on June 13, definitely appealed to another segment of the concert-going public. "We had around 4,500 at the festival. I think that's a good testimony that the area youth are starved for quality music and good positive entertainment."

Thursday 21 February 2013, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Suva, Fiji - 'The road to this launch has been a long one. RRRT started the paralegal training in 1997 and only now is all of that work, knowledge, and skills finally embedded in a programme run by the premier educational institution in the region so that everyone can have access to it. Providing these resources to the region is a big achievement on the part of both the University of the South Pacific and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community,' said Sandra Bernklau, Manager of the SPC RRRT Programme.
Coordinator of the diploma at USP, Natasha Khan, said the new diploma fills a gap in the market. While institutions in Australia and New Zealand offer programmes on these issues, and USP has postgraduate studies on governance, there have been no programmes at USP for people interested in leadership and human rights issues, particularly at the undergraduate level. 'One hundred and fourteen students from around the Pacific have enrolled for the diploma's first intake this semester, and they will be able to study from their own countries as well as at USP's main campus in Suva,' says Khan.
Speaking at the launch, Professor Vijay Naidu, Head of the School of Government, Development and International Affairs at USP, said that this new diploma is a much-needed and a useful qualification for a range of people in the Pacific, including the police and people working in legal systems, communities, civil society and faith based organisations, as well as in movements for the rights of women and other marginalised groups.
The new diploma aims to respond to the learning needs of people in the Pacific and it can be studied full-time or part-time, with scholarships available. It is delivered using a distance education framework that does not rely on access to the internet and so is available to anyone. It is a recognised tertiary qualification that provides a sound understanding of the principles of effective leadership and good governance.
The development of the course was made possible with the generous support of AusAID through the Pacific Leadership Programme and the Australian Volunteers International Programme.

What apparatus is used to provide the NPL online barograph? (FAQ - Pressure)
The instrument currently used to measure atmospheric pressure for the NPL online barograph is a good quality, commercially available resonant pressure sensor. Two such instruments are periodically calibrated against the UK's National Standard Barometer at NPL and the corrections determined during that process are then applied automatically, to each subsequent measurement, by NPL-written software running on a PC. The sensors are permanently connected to the PC which is permanently connected to the Internet server. The second instrument is used to ensure continuity of web data availability whilst the first one is being calibrated; at any time only one is in service.
The performance of all instrumentation changes with time and indeed the sensors used in the NPL online barograph, despite being state-of-the-art devices, have changed significantly since being installed and continuity of performance and accuracy is only achieved by regularly recalibrating the sensors and updating the calibration correction data applied by the host computer.

WordPress.com Updates to 2.5
WordPress 2.5 is finally out for WordPress.com users, or whatever version they're using right now, considering they're on the MU install of it.
A few minutes ago, there were a few bugs, but now, after the WordPress.com Blog has said everything, it seems to have disappeared. Some of those bugs I encountered were 1) extremely slow loading, 2) visual mode in page / post writing not working, and 3) automatic refreshes without any regard to what I was writing.
Either they fixed the bugs, or it was my fault. I shall never take the blame. 😀
I was trying to get this post out before the official WordPress.com blog got it out, but the slow loading caused me to give up.
In the meantime, here are some fun things to try out: WordPress.com's blog subdirectory is under /blog/, right? (Check any post.) Well, just type in wordpress.com/blog and see what happens.

The Impact of Cloud Computing
The primary driver for cloud computing adoption is shifting from costs to agility.
Most of the conversations about cloud computing generally start with the concept of controlling IT costs. Whether that's via a public or private cloud, the major driver behind cloud computing thus far has been a desire to make more efficient use of enterprise IT resources.
However, while reducing cost is still important, a new survey of 417 people who work for either IT organizations or vendors that was conducted by North Bridge Venture Partners, a venture capital firm, suggests that the primary reason that customers are more aggressively investigating cloud computing these days is agility.
Large organizations are especially vulnerable, says Skok, because they rely on many business processes that are tied to legacy IT architectures that inevitably will be delivered more effectively as a service. In some cases, that service may be delivered by an internal IT department, but more often than not, those services are going to come from external providers that have chosen to specialize in a particular application area. The reason for that, says Skok, is that most businesses going forward are only going to want to internally run applications that are core to the business. The reality of the current enterprise IT environment is that more than 80 percent of the applications installed are not core to the business, which makes them prime candidates to be delivered as a service. Unfortunately, a lot of companies will soon find themselves being victimized by more nimble rivals that leverage new processes enabled by cloud computing.
But for all of this to happen, Skok concedes there are storm clouds ahead concerning interoperability, security and compliance. The issue that might prove most troublesome is interoperability, which vendors have been notoriously slow to embrace. And yet without it, Skok notes there can be no true sense of the word "service" when it comes to the delivery of IT. If customers can't switch providers, then what is being delivered is not really a service, says Skok.
As far as the impact of cloud computing on the IT department itself, the survey makes it clear that no one is quite sure what will happen. There are just as many who think cloud computing will make IT more difficult to manage as there are who don't. Similarly, opinions concerning whether there will be a need for more or less IT people in the future are all over the map.

Greg Hagood didn't have many details to work with on Thursday afternoon.
Hurricane Irma wasn't expected to make landfall in South Florida for another 64 hours. Projections for its path were all over the place, especially considering that a centimeter deviation on the map might mean billions of dollars of destruction either averted or heaped onto the tally. So when Hagood phoned his natural-catastrophe bond investors, he had a simple message: Stay calm despite winds strong enough to reduce a house to splinters.
"This is our 20th year in business," Hagood said. "We've lived through other times of stress. It's not completely foreign to us."
Hagood's hedge fund, Nephila Capital Ltd., oversees more than $10 billion, mostly invested in so-called cat bonds, which backstop insurers on claims stemming from natural disasters. Some of that is retirement money from schoolteachers in Pennsylvania and state employees in Alaska and Oregon. They provide protection for Universal Insurance Holdings Inc., the company with the biggest risk in the Florida residential market.
His firm, which he co-created with Frank Majors, has also attracted some of the biggest investors in the world. New York-based KKR & Co., co-headed by billionaire Henry Kravis, has a nearly 25 percent stake. Man Group, the $95.5 billion London-based money manager, owns 19 percent.
Nephila also helps Blackstone Group LP, the world's largest alternative-asset manager, with part of a $72 billion portfolio run by Tom Hill.
Blackstone declined to comment. KKR didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
Nail-Biting Times
These are nail-biting times for insurance companies and the funds that stand behind them. Irma, already responsible for the strongest sustained winds of any recorded Atlantic hurricane, is roaring through the Caribbean in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which devastated southeast Texas, and in advance of Jose and Katia, storms that could also potentially cause havoc. S&P Global Ratings Inc. has identified 13 cat bonds at risk from damage claims in Florida. Barclays Plc said that insured losses caused by Irma could soar to $130 billion.
Irma has already begun to push down some cat-bond prices. A $125 million Citrus Re Ltd. bond was priced at a 50 percent discount on Thursday.
Brett Houghton, managing principal at Fermat Capital Management, which has most of its $5 billion fund in cat bonds, said he spent most of Thursday avoiding televised forecasts.
"If people just watched the Weather Channel, they'd sell everything," Houghton said. The round-the-clock coverage is "looking for ways to sound as sensational as possible. We're trying to look at it from a more cold, detached, calculative perspective."
Spreading Risk
Cat bonds spread the risk of natural disasters and play an important role by taking on losses that otherwise would be borne by primary insurers. The securities are akin to high-yield debt, but they're not correlated to credit markets.
"The market for this kind of thing is pretty untested," said Ryan Tunis, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG. "There are questions of how fast they'll pay out, whether they'll pay out."
The cat-bond market is valued at almost $90 billion, and almost half is tied to risks in Florida, where insurers are mostly state-run entities and small regional carriers looking to mitigate risk.
For the most part, the cat bonds have remained resilient. Part of this is due to a lack of major disasters in the biggest U.S. cities, where losses would be large. The Swiss Re Cat Bond Total Return Index has climbed more than 100 percent in the past decade.
The market has drawn in a record amount of cash in the first half of this year, according to insurance broker Aon Plc. Issuance was $11.3 billion, Aon said.
Hedge Funds
For a time, cat bonds provided investors with returns that beat the S&P 500. More recently, the bonds have slipped behind. That's partly because so many pensions, hedge funds and wealthy individuals have demanded the securities that the price they take to carry the burden has come down.
Michael Millette, the former head of structured finance at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., helped the bank develop a market for cat bonds in 1990. It was one of the first signals that high finance had discovered the reinsurance market. Millette now runs his own fund, with backing from Blackstone, according to Artemis, a trade publication.
The securities began to proliferate in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, a disaster so devastating that the World Meterological Organization discontinued the use of the name after the 1992 hurricane season, according to Swiss Re AG. Significant losses from California's Northridge earthquake in 1994 and the Kobe temblor in Japan a year later motivated many companies to find reinsurance, or insurance that backs insurance.
More than a dozen hurricanes during the 2005 season, including Katrina, Rita and Wilma, resulted in more than $75 billion of insured losses, causing a dramatic rise in cat-bond issuance, according to the Journal of Alternative Investments.
Not everyone is rushing in. David Havens, an insurance analyst at Imperial Capital LLC, said his company considered wading into the market. Since the firm would be matching buyers and sellers rather than using their balance sheet to invest in the debt, the trading spread was "like a dime," he said.
"There's already a preexisting world of clubby guys," Havens said. "So it's a hard market to get into."
Houghton, of Westport, Connecticut-based Fermat, which was founded in 2001, maintained a philosophical coolness Thursday despite contemplating possible Irma-related losses.
"Even if our investors do end up losing a lot of money on this event," he said, "there will be opportunities to make money in the aftermath."

Liberal Arts in England
The last hurrah of my summer was a three-week Travel Study trip to England. After a month of studying English political writings and literature, twelve other students and myself set up camp in London. We couldn't use our normal phones. None of us knew exactly how to navigate the public transportation. Nonetheless, we had a blast. To paraphrase a local advertisement, it was an "absolutely no nasties" experience.
The trip included visits to Dover Castle, Stonehenge, Canterbury Cathedral, the Globe Theatre, the homes of Wordsworth and Milton, Christ Church College at Oxford, and dozens of other sites along the way. Smaller groups of us visited several of London's West End theaters, and a few of us braved persecution and stood in line to see Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. I especially enjoyed the British Museum and the Lake District.
The educational anchor of the trip was a series of group discussions. Professors Jan-Erik Jones and Scott Dransfield instructed us on key bits of history and politics before several of our major excursions. Both professors came prepared with not only expertise and insight, but contagious levels of enthusiasm. In quieter moments, they shared their views on subjects such as fish and chips and bird lore, from which one member of the group learned to do a spanking-good impersonation of an English Moor Hen.
It was fun to study the etymology of pub names such as Merlin's Beard, Captain Hook's Cookery and the Rubber Squirrel. I learned more about art, language, religion and even architecture than I bargained for, and I left England with an itch to keep learning. I thoroughly recommend trying Travel Study during your time at Southern Virginia. As one student in the group put it, it's a true liberal arts experience.

A Foodie Encounter
I was window shopping at Empire Shopping Mall in KL when a distinctive hair style caught the corner of my eyes. Immediately it rang a bell in my memory. Isn't that... the blogger for QuayPo cooks? I ventured closer to take a better look and yes, I wouldn't be wrong, it is indeed Veronica from Quay Po cooks!
I was nervous because I have never met up with any food bloggers/followers before but it was just too coincidental. A warm and friendly smile she returned when I introduced myself. "Oh yes!!" she replied as her eyes lit up with happiness. I also felt honoured she remembers my humble blog. And the above, a picture for safekeeping, the euphoria felt when recognising a familiar place in a foreign land was almost like bumping into an idol.
Thank you Quay Po, for the sincere chat and your amiable smile. Hopefully in future, there will be more opportunities to bump into fellow food bloggers... ;)
(You can follow Veronica here)

Krion® Ventilated Facades
What are Krion® Ventilated Facades?
KRION® is a product that is solid, compact, pore-free, with uniform properties throughout its section, and which can be transformed to obtain figures and complex volumes. The KRION® surfaces employed by Butech / PORCELANOSA have high resistance to temperatures and chemical agents, are easy to clean and maintain, and offer warmth and beauty, making these solid surfaces ideal for the most demanding applications.
Unlike other materials used professionally, it can be injected, cut, machined, and glued, achieving invisible joints. This property allows designs to freely incorporate functionality and ergonomics criteria which would be otherwise difficult to obtain.
Krion® is a new generation solid surface developed by SystemPool, a company from the Porcelanosa Group. It is a product that is warm and velvety to the touch, similar to natural stone, solid, with a uniform mass, non-porous, available both in slabs and in molded figures, and that allows for an invisible joint between the different pieces.
This product is also hygienic, unreactive, non-toxic, virtually fireproof, easy to maintain and repair, it has multiple transforming possibilities, and a high resistance to chemical agents, water vapor, or the weather.
- Fire-resistant
- Resistant to cigarette burns
- Eco-friendly
- Antibacterial (no additives)
- Great durability
- Resistant to high temperature
- High degree of hardness and mechanical strength
- Moldable
- Large surfaces without joints
In order for the material to regain its initial state, Butech / Porcelanosa recommends to strictly follow the manufacturer recommendations for cleaning tough stains, which are to rub the surface using a green fiber Scotch-Brite® scouring pad. This way the tough stains will disappear, so that any cleaning team will be able to carry out these maintenance tasks without needing to resort to more sophisticated items or special cleaning agents. It can be entirely restored, which means that it can return to its original appearance. Even cigarette burns can be removed with a normal detergent and a scouring sponge.

On April 29th Jason Murphy filed a lawsuit in Federal Court for the Central District of California against Gen-X Sports, Inc and its parent, Huffy Corporation. According to Murphy's attorney, the move comes after the alleged unauthorized distribution of a 2002/03 Sims Jason Murphy pro-model snowboard. Murphy is bringing claims for invasion of right of publicity, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment and is seeking damages exceeding 200,000 dollars.
Pro-models are synonymous with snowboarding. However, what rights do riders have when it comes to companies using their likeness and names to help sell products? Atomic team rider and former Sims rider Jason Murphy is about to find out.
The charges brought by Murphy stem from unresolved negotiations of his pro contract after Gen-X bought the license to distribute Sims from previous owners Sims Distribution, who's CEO was John Textor. Although Murphy had a pro-model snowboard on Sims while it was still owned by Sims Distribution when the license was acquired by Gen-X in May of 2002 all contracts with former Sims Distribution athletes (Murphy included) were deemed null and void.
According to Murphy's lawyer, Anthony Davis, this is where problems occurred. Shortly after its June acquisition, Gen-X entered into contractual agreements with most of Sims Distribution's former team riders offering Murphy fifteen dollars a board in royalties. Murphy, who had been earning a salary as well as on photo incentives and board royalties from Sims Distribution, asked for a higher 30 dollars a board. As outlined in the complaint submitted by Davis, "Murphy was in high demand, and could garner a pro rider agreement from several other manufacturers-offered to license his name and likeness for a royalty of 30 dollars a snowboard."
Gen-X counter offered again with the fifteen dollar a board royalty and Murphy declined the offer electing to search for a new sponsorship deal with another manufacturer. In the claim to the courts, "At that point representatives from Gen-X told Murphy and his representatives that they would not distribute a Jason Murphy Pro Model Snowboard."
However, shortly thereafter Gen-X began to distribute a 2002/03 Sims Jason Murphy Pro Model. Murphy contests that because of this allegedly "illegal distribution" he was unable to sign a new sponsorship agreement from another manufacturer that would include a pro-model. Although Murphy did sign a new two-year contract with Atomic, he contends that his reputation has been damaged by Gen-X's widespread use of low-end distribution channels.
Bruce Teeters, spokesperson for the Huffy Corporation declined to comment on the pending lawsuit stating, "Generally, we don't comment on litigations. And, in this case we haven't yet been served with the lawsuit."

This is a tasty recipe. I adapted this recipe from a Food Network recipe for Mongolian Beef Sandwiches with Black Bean Aioli.
-2 to 3 lbs. beef roast
-1/2 cup canola oil
-1 tbsp sesame oil
-1/2 cup soy sauce
-1/2 cup red wine {you could probably substitute beef broth or maybe even chicken stock}
-2 tbsp minced garlic
-1/2 cup sliced scallions {about 1-2 bunches}
-1/2 tbsp pepper
1. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and sear roast on all sides.
You're not looking to cook the roast, but to put a good golden sear on the outside for added flavor. You'd be surprised how much better a crockpot recipe tastes when you take a little extra time to do this.
2. Combine canola oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, wine and garlic. Mix well.3. Add scallions and mix well. Set aside.
4. Place a cutting board on a kitchen towel, place the roast on the cutting board and allow the roast to rest for about 10 minutes.
5. Slice roast against the grain in slices about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Add sliced beef to crockpot mixture.
7. Turn crockpot to low and allow to cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Enjoy beef and sauce over rice!

Pratt sees his art as a mirror reflecting where we are socially and historically. Sometimes the tone is reproachful but mostly his art examines the contemporary world with a sense of its beauty.
Louis Pratt graduated from the ANU School of Art in 2002 with first-class honours in sculpture. He was awarded an Australian Post-Graduate Research Scholarship from the College of Fine Art, UNSW, which he completed in 2004.
Pratt emphasises that we are in a pivotal point of history and that we need to recognise the effect technology has on our lives. His work asserts that the entire world is available for digital consumption.
Pratt's approach to sculpture entails using a 3D scanner to transport everyday objects into the digital world. His 3D scanner and laser scanner techniques enable him to distort everyday objects, then, using rapid prototyping, to transport the reconfigured objects back into the real world, revitalised and arresting.
Nanda\Hobbs is excited to present five of our outstanding artists at the 2017 Sydney Contemporary for 7-10 September. Giles Alexander, Nicholas Blowers, James Drinkwater, Louis Pratt and Paul Ryan will be exhibiting their latest work at Stand G01.

Ferruccio Busoni
Ferruccio Busoni was born in Empoli, Tuscany on April 1, 1866. He first learned the piano under the guidance of his parents, who were both musicians. He played his first concert at the age of 7. By the time he was 10, Busoni was astounding audiences in Vienna. In Vienna, he studied under Hans Schmitt. Later, in Graz, Busoni worked briefly with Dr. Wilhelm Mayer-Remy. He followed this with three years of study in Leipzig. He played throughout Europe during his teens and made his first American appearance when he was 24. Busoni established himself as a succesful teacher and performer. He ended his teaching career at the State Academy in Berlin, where he died on July 27, 1924. During his life, however, Busoni concentrated most of his artistic energies on composition, producing a large output in many genres. His style underwent a constant evolution and by the late 20th century, Busoni's piano music and stageworks had earned increasing attention from both performers and scholars.

By the Waters of Babylon
By Lola Smith, Photo by Foto Estudio San Miguel
Players Workshop is launching its 126th production, a special collaboration with director Alan Jordan of By the Waters of Babylon by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan. The show opens Thursday, November 5, at the San Miguel Playhouse for a limited engagement of eight performances.
Players Workshop
By the Waters of Babylon
Thu, Nov 5-Sat, Nov 7pm
Thu, Nov 12-Sat, Nov 14, 7pm
Sun, Nov 8 & 15, 3pm
San Miguel Playhouse
Avenida Independencia 82
US$15 or 200 pesos
Schenkkan's soulful drama takes place on a hot afternoon in Austin, Texas. The widowed Catherine hires Arturo, a Cuban refugee and writer-turned-gardener, to tame her chaotic backyard. Through an intense afternoon and evening, they embark on a journey through their deepest fears and desires. Together—warily, clumsily, they begin the oldest dance in the world.
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival commissioned and produced the play in its world premiere. The Seattle Times said of the play, "It is rare to find a genuine, all-out romance among contemporary plays. Poetic yearnings of the heart can seem hopelessly naive and shopworn in today's dating-mating-divorcing marketplace. By the Waters of Babylon bucks that trend with a fervently humane Valentine to midlife, soul-scarred love."
Schenkkan's Pulitzer Prize for The Kentucky Cycle was the only time the award has been given to a play that did not originate in New York City. Schenkkan is perhaps best known for his Tony Award-winning play about LBJ, All the Way, which starred Bryan Cranston on Broadway last year.
Director Alan Jordan is perhaps best known in San Miguel de Allende for his recent critically acclaimed string of one-man shows, including House, I Am My Own Wife, and Diary of a Madman (which, after a successful preview run, is set for its world premiere, opening November 19 at San Miguel Playhouse). He has had an extensive career as an actor and director in film, TV, and stage in the United States and Canada.
Jill Gottlieb and Erik Zavala star as Catherine and Arturo, and the sizzling chemistry between the two will have the town talking and lining up to see whether what they've heard is true. She is perhaps best known for her recent roles in Taylor Korobow's productions of Other Desert Cities and The Other Place. By the Waters of Babylon is her eighth show for Players Workshop. Actor-photographer Erik Zavala spends most of his time behind the camera, and we're happy the accomplished actor is making a rare stage appearance as Arturo.
This show represents a few firsts for Players Workshop. In addition to this first collaboration with Jordan, it is its first show at the new San Miguel Playhouse. The 125-seat theater is intimate, comfortable, easy to get to, and a stone's throw from Centro, with post-show taxi service and free, secure parking.
For the first time, audience members can simply and easily purchase their reserved seats online at www.pwsma.ticketleap.com/babylon and at the San Miguel Playhouse box office, Monday-Friday, 10am–2pm.

Vice-Premier Liu Yandong on June 19 met Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka in the southeastern Chinese city of Suzhou, vowing to strengthen people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
Hailing the important role the Czech Republic plays in the field of health care cooperation between China and central and eastern Europe (CEE) countries, Liu called on the two countries to continue deepening people-to-people exchanges, so as to consolidate public support for bilateral ties.
Sobotka echoed Liu's comment and said the Czech Republic is willing to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of health care within the framework of China-CEE cooperation, or the "16+1" mechanism.
Sobotka is in Suzhou to attend the second China-CEE health ministers' forum from June 19 to 20.

Get The Maximum Out Of Your Budget When Going For Boat Rentals
Cruises on the river Seine really only started becoming popular after World War II were the original longboats were converted especially for tourists. These boats are still being used by some tour operators for Paris cruises on the river Seine. Good food and comfortable accommodation is the key ingredient when exploring the sounds and magnificent sights of Paris. Paris is alive and bustling and offers its tourists a vacation of a life time for those that want to delve in its magnificence. There are hundreds of activities and things to see, and of course one can shop till they drop while visiting Paris.
However, it is rather difficult to get to see all the different historical sites, museums and other Parisian wonders, as most are not within walking distance, and most accommodation does not provide you with good views. This is why many tourists prefer boat rental Paris, which gives them the opportunity to see all the spectacular views and is an affordable option as opposed to hotels. Renting a houseboat or barge is far more sensible and adventurous instead of being subjected to crowded buildings. Boat rentals in Paris are flexible and you will be able to find a good deal that meets with your budget. Boat accommodation provides for easy walking distances to all the major attractions and money, patience and time spent traveling around in buses or hired cars.
In addition a bateau paris is well equipped for all wedding requirements. You can soak up the magnificent sunsets on vine laced decks, and listen to music of your choice. And for your honeymoon you could take a romantic Paris cruise which rounds off a vital ingredient of Parisian ambiance. These glass boat cruises offer fantastic entertainment, loads of fun and fine cuisine. Paris is a city that offers glamour, lights and excitement and the river Seine plays a big role when it comes to beauty and attraction. A boat house has been specially designed for human living. A louer péniche à Paris that houses up to six people with an area space of five hundred and fifty to six hundred square meters will cost you on a monthly basis around $2550 to $4000 and weekend rates are $259 to $350. The house boats are being used for wedding and engagement ceremonies as well as historical reenactments. The rental barges and boats play an important role in the economic developments of France, and the French government is now trying to implement shadow tax. For more information on renting a boat in Paris go online and view all the various packages that are up for grabs. Also bear in mind, book well in advance so you won't miss out on a holiday of a lifetime. These barges are great tourist attractions, and people can enjoy a day out with their family on the clam waters just admiring the beautiful scenery.

(a 2:06 hour eye-opening film)
'Illuminazi' By Anthony J. Hilder (1:36 hour awesome documentary)
Who benefits from this atrocity? Islam? Israel? Or is it those who wish to establish a NEW WORLD ORDER on the smoldering ashes of American Sovereignty?
There's been a greater assault on our Bill of Rights in the past 120 days than in the past 200 years. Who'll call for a police state? Who'll call for martial law? Who'll call for national ID cards to give us "security?" It won't be Bin Laden. Are we watching the Naziazation of our true nation?
In this 86 - minute volcanic video, former FBI chief agent Ted Gunderson blows the lid off the "FBLies" involvement in the 1993 Trade Center bombing. THEY SET IT UP! Illuminati historian Jordan Maxwell, publisher Clayton Douglas at The Free American, Gunderson and Anthony J. Hilder are calling the attack at the U.S. an "inside job." America has been suckered one more time. This video will shake and shock you into a reality check.
"You're right! We are witnessing the Naziazation of this Nation. More Rights & Freedoms have been lost in the last 120 days through Executive Orders & our cowardly Congress than were lost in the past 200 years. Illuminazi 9-11 tells it all in clear, precise terms. This is the beginning of World War III. Make no mistake about it."

Opportunity: Spending of government money should have a purpose and that purpose should be for the benefit of someone whether directly or indirectly. The benefit might for an employee to work better and that employee might be working to benefit a group of citizens. The administration wishes to create a more transparent, effective and innovative government as well as to reduce the federal deficit. In order to do this, the administration must identify opportunities for innovation which can increase efficiency as well as decrease spending and make the case to the American people that it is making more effective use of taxpayer funds. I want to make the case here that linking spending data to benefits of that spending in ways which are detailed, clear and relevant to large numbers of citizens is the best way to find innovations to create a more effective government as well as to make transparency have meaning and value for the average citizen.
- Linking Spending to Benefits: Federal spending is reported in ways which do not clearly connect it to the benefits that specific expenditures provide. While certain dollar amounts may be reported as going toward 'Defense' that is not specific enough to understand whether a given expenditure is justifiable and doesn't allow an expenditure of group expenditures to be compared to alternative solutions for the same specific benefit oriented goal. Therefore we must find ways to better connect specific spending to specific benefits.
- Benefits of expenditures must clear and relevant: Benefits must be stated in ways which are relevant and understandable for a large number of citizens. For example, a system which tracks resources in a government program is not relevant until it is connected to the benefits that program provides and to whom it provides those benefits. Often times expenditures are reported as supportting a program, system or equipment but not clearly connected to an intermediary benefit it attempts to provide a person or to the outcome of the the program or equipment and its end beneficiaries. What is relevant to the average citizen is not how systems support systems or programs support programs but how overall efforts affect people, in what way it affects those people, who those people are, and what is the cost of providing that benefit. For instance in the case of a self-help kiosk at a federal office. The relevant benefit is not how it supports the agency's program but how many citizens does it serve, how frequently does it serve them, how well does it serve them and at what cost per citizen?
- Providing Spending to Benefit visibiliy to a large audience will spur innovation. Making the links between spending and outcome visible to a large audience is a critical step in identifying opportunities for innovation in government to increase government's effectiveness. Innovation comes from diverse people considering things in different ways (remember KIDFAD from Wisdom of the Crowds), so making connections between spending and benefits broadly relevant and visible will provide the greatest opportunity for innovation in creating more effective means to achieve similar benefits. Also innovation comes from novel approaches to address overal goals so providing information on overall cost to an end benefit served to people provides the greatest opportunity to innovate other ways to provide the benefit. If, for instance, you simply focused on the cost of gas for a truck to travel 1000 miles, rather than the benefit of transporting chairs on that truck, you might miss the opportunity to send it by train. Of course if you focused on the goal of having chairs at a location, you might notice that it might be cheaper to purchase them at the end destination rather than pack them up and transport them back and forth.
- Meaningful Transparency. Making the connection between benefits and spending in ways which the average citizen can understand and find relevant is required in order to achieve government transparency in a way in which transparency will have meaning for the average citizen.
Approach: Identify, Find and Link Disparate Data Sources which can clarify the benefits of Government Expenditures
Datsets must be found which can connect government spending to both outcomes and benefits to people. For instance, compete.com provides data on how many visitors a website receives. Connecting the cost of a government website to the number of visitors it receives per year can give a cost per citizen served. Therefore getting the free data provided by Compete.com and linking it to the cost of a government website will provide more transparency and a clearly cost of the benefit provided. This can then be compared to other ways of providing that same benefit of information delivery.
Another example is connecting the expense of providing office furniture to a known number of employees in an agency can then make it clear, the cost of doing providing office support per employee which could be compared to private sector data.
Connecting government expenditures to their benefits and making clear the cost per beneciary in relevant ways can become a starting point for encouraging innovation to make a more effective government as well as to give the idea of government transparency meaning and value to largest number of people.
Case for Using the Resource Description Framework Or Linked Data Model:
While linking data can be done in many different ways, I do want to give a plug for the linked data model in this instance, because in the long term, I believe it is the best way to connect government spending with the benefits of that spending.
Of course connecting spending to benefits is not always as simple as the examples I gave, nor is the data easy to find and easy to connect. In fact you may need to link multiple datasets in a chain to get the benefit information in a way which is relevant and broadly understandable. The resource description framework or Linked Data model gives us a way to start to collect this kind of data in a distributed fashion without strict central control and does not even require it to be on the same server or system in order to be linkable. This makes RDF or Linked Data an ideal candidate to complete the long term vision of linking complex federal spending data with its outcome and benefits in a way which can have meaning for the average American Citizen.
A Step toward Data Interoperability? Linked Data, Databases and avoiding the security headache.
Posted May 26, 2009on:
Tim Berners-Lee concept of linked data clearly is a way to make data more usable whether this is public data or data within a large enterprise. Linked data promises a future which makes related data more interoperable, discoverable and opens the door for innovation.
But how do we take large existing data stores and apply linked data principles to achieve these benefits? We currently have massive existing data stores with complex security regimes which are depended upon for many legacy applications. To make them available as Linked Data is a huge challenge especially if we were to recreate these data stores in XML syntax using RDF/RDFa or even simpler XML schemas. This is coupled with the fact that many of benefits of the reconstituted data have not yet been invented so an ROI argument cannot clearly be made. Of course, they haven't been invented yet because while many can agree the data would be more usable, those uses must be discovered by fiddling with the data in linked form and discovering the uses that emerge. Since the linked form, doesn't yet exist, we have the classic chicken in the egg problem.
Perhaps there is a step we can take toward linked data without making large changes to the existing data stores in government and industry. Let's review the principles of Linked Data first (as paraphrased from wikipedia to add clarity):
- Use URIs (Unique Resource Identifiers) to identify things that you expose to the Web as resources.
- Use HTTP URIs so that people can locate and look up (dereference) these things.
- Provide useful information about the resource when its URI is dereferenced.
- Include links to other, related URIs in the exposed data as a means of improving information discovery on the Web.
The striking thing about these principles is that they don't mention XML or RDFa etc but focus instead on linking data to definitions. So it would seem a hybrid solution between the linked data concept and existing databases is possible. We could add URIs as fields in existing databases for important elements and define a central location where we will track information about that element. For instance, in the US government there are lots of federal buildings used by multiple agencies. So I would assume many agencies have databases which refer to federal buildings. Why not establish a central location to define those buildings and assign each a URI. (A URI by the way is essentially a universal identifier for a real world object. Essentially it is a web page for each building, but the page would more like contain data links than nice pictures. (Oh and some people refer to URIs as URNs or Unique Resource Name in an effort to make them more human readable which is nice too) .
So each federal building would have a URI/URN and we could of course put more information about each building in a centrally defined schema, but that will start to be real work and have instant security issues. So why not initially just have URIs contain recipricol links to databases which also contain that identifier? The links would have brief non-security breaking descriptions of what type of data is stored in the database which is linked to. This would remove the need to re-securitize a lot of information to make it cross-department/cross-agency available. And here is the other key to success for this type of solution: Don't require the back links to the databases to expose data unless they already do so. If we start requiring data to be exposed in this step, it opens up the security pandora's box. We need to avoid imposing a new security regime for centralized data, because it is a stumbling block which would create delays and costs. And if people do not clearly see the benefits of this step, then it would simply die in committee in most cases.
So that is fine you say. We have URIs for important data elements and for databases which contain those elements but it is not exposing data, so where is the benefit? I think this stripped down version of linked data would have 4 definite benefits:
- Reference. The URIs could serve as reference documents to find where similar information is stored. Users could then apply for security permissions on an as needed basis when they need to link to other databases.
- Innovation. Users, who would now have a more complete map of available data could be begin to suggest more uses for linking the data.
- Discoverability. Search engines (internal or external depending on the security decided upon for the URNs) could make existing databases more discoverable because the engines could discover important data elements in the databases. Search engines make use of links to discoverable relevance to searches and are often key to researching problems .
- Interoperability. The process of assigning URIs will begin to expose problems in data interoperability due to different definitions in different databases. The URI map would serve as a survey of issues in creating truly interoperable data.
So now the readers of this blog are in at least 2 camps.
- Those who feel this is a half measure and would be a distraction from advocating for more completely linked data.
- Those who are still not clear on the benefits of bothering to start the process of linking data at all.
I am hoping there is a third camp which sees this as a doable step in large enterprises such as the US government. And that it would be the first step toward data which is more linked and therefore more usable for both public and internal uses, and eventually interoperable.
Let me know which camp you are in!
In the policy to effort session at Government 2.0 camp, Lovisa Williams of the Department of State summed up the problem of building on cross agency's efforts as "Don't share your best practices, share them when they are good enough." It sounded like a good start to a blog post.
For more on workplace collaboration check out the workshop I am organizing on April 23rd.
The essence of collaboration is to steady build on one another's ideas bit by bit until you get a solution. Of course contributions in reality should be somewhat thought through but by no means need to be final, because if sharing final plans were enough, then there would be no need to collaborate.
The current cross-agency practices seem to be built on sharing each other's best practices, which means they have been fought for, tried out, approved and finalized within an agency and no one in that agency has any stomach for opening up that can of worms again. So suggestions for improvement from the outside, after the practice is shared, are not as likely to be incorporated.
Sharing these final lessons learned, does not accumulate ideas from different perspectives and situations to create cross-agency solutions and support. Instead it passes an agency specific solution to another agency, at which point it gets rewritten. There is some efficiency gained, but it doesn't seem to compare to a truly collaborative process in which ideas are shared and accumulated quickly showing an agile and responsive result.
If collaborative efforts begin with sharing final outcomes which the authors don't want to change because they have invested in these as being final, then essentially the collaborative process doesn't begin. It's more of a building on lessons learned than a collaboration .
It's kind of like growing your vegetables in your own walled garden and only sharing the seeds after you have harvested the first successful crop. In order to build an agile and responsive government, we need to all plant seeds at the same time and figure out together how to get them to grow in the first season.
The systemic problem with sharing methods and ideas before they become a 'best practice' seems to be fear of acceptance within the agency or worse yet criticism from outside the agency. A best practice almost by definition means it has the stamp of approval by agency heads. Therefore by definition a "good 'nough" practice does not have the stamp of approval and there is a fear of implied 'approval' and finality when you share it cross-agency. It seems we either need to create semi-private cross agency channels so people can be comfortable in sharing practices still 'in–progress' or overcome the fear of unfinished solutions being seen.

Megacity drought: São Paulo withers after dry 'wet season'Posted by Jim at Wednesday, July 01, 2015
By Leila Carvalho
26 June 2015
(The Conversation) – Exceptional drought, extreme temperatures, unprecedented drops in reservoir levels, and threatening water shortages for millions of people have dominated headlines in California in recent years. Unfortunately, Californians are not the only people being stressed with the "water crisis."
Citizens of one of the most densely populated areas in South America – the São Paulo metropolitan area (SPMA) in southeastern Brazil – are struggling with one of the nastiest water crises in decades.
With over 20 million people and the main financial and economic center of Brazil, this region is under the influence of the South American monsoon system and receives the largest fraction of its precipitation during the Austral summer, from October to March. Yet in the last four years, rain gauge stations near the most important reservoirs supplying water to the city have been reporting growing deficits in precipitation. Last year saw the worst since at least 1961, which has been followed by another dry year.
To aggravate these conditions, daily records of high temperatures during these summers have increased evapotranspiration, accelerating drought conditions, similar to what has been observed in California.
A planet with over seven billion people and limited freshwater resources is already showing environmental exhaustion and signaling humans have crossed the line of sustainability. Our capacity to mitigate the negative effects of environmental changes and how fast we can adapt is limited by multiple factors. But as a megacity – a complex and often disorganized human conglomerate – the population of São Paulo, Brazil is particularly exposed to the effects of extreme weather events.
The climatic factors influencing the drought in California and in São Paulo are likely interconnected. Cycles in the Pacific sea surface temperature that occur on decadal timescales are coupled to changes in atmospheric circulation that affect weather patterns worldwide. In some regions, atmospheric conditions are such that they block the passage of cold fronts that cause the storms to bring precipitation, changing the path of these rain events. [more]

Heart Risk Alert: Are you taking Vitamin D and a Calcium Supplement?
A new analysis of data on taking Vitamin D and calcium supplements simultaneously shows a 20% increase in cardiovascular risk. You can read more here.
Taking Vitamin D is commonly accepted as a way to tdecrease heart disease risk and many take calcium supplement to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Now it seems we must balance these two positives with a potential negative.
Anyone taking both? Amyone talk to their docs about it? What have you heard or experienced?

i take calcium1200 vitamin d 800. my reason i'm higher risk for osteoporosis cause i have thyriod issues.my doctor told me why i needed to take them.my doctor even had me do a bone density to make sure my hips spine weren't losing too much calcium. these areas check out normal.
hyperthyriod from graves diease
I was taking vitamin D for vitamin D deficiency last year for a few months, but I have left that doctor since he would not send me to the doctors I needed to see and I ended up in the hospital with a heart attack. I am to see my new Prim Doc in July & I will have him retest me for vitamin D deficiency. At least now I know why I was having so much pain in my bones and muscles for all these years. When I was on vitamin D, after a 2 months the pain was slowly going away. Now they are back again. As for calcium, my body can not absorb it very well.
Vitamin D and calcium pills are good for some of us. I've been taking them for two
years now and my bone density has increased. My doctor encourages me to take em.
I'm taking both the calcium and vitamin D.
The calcium was started about 5 years ago, because I'm, Lactose intolerent. I don't or can't have dairy products. I had fractured my femur that year that I was told to take calcium supplements.
Vitamin D was just prescribed for me last year after a blood test showed I was not getting enough Vitamin D. The Nepherologist scripted a dosage of 50,000 units of vitamin D once a month.
Neither Doctor has said anything so far about the use of both of these drugs.
There is more than 1 type of Vitamin D test. The one that is pertinent here is the 25-OH Vitamin D3 test (for cholecalciferol level - was that the one you got?) If you saw a nephrologist then you probably got the 25-OH Vitamin D1 (for calcitriol) test which is for kidney function.
What I refer to here would be for those taking D3 in dosages arounf 2000-8000IU per day.
I believe it was the 25-OH vitamin D2, as my 50,000 units is for a vitamin D2 tablet, that I take once per month.
D3 is the supplement needed for heart health. I participate in the Track Your Plaque heart disease reversal program which calls for (among other things) taking enough D3 to maintain a blood level of 60ng/mL. I take 8000iU in the wintertime when I do not get much sunlight and about 6000IU in the summertime to maintain the proper blood level.
Vitamin D2 is ergocalciferol which is the vitamin they put in milk and other food products, Your heart (and many other organs) crave D3 which is cholecalciferol. Your body has something like 600 receptors for this nutrient.
Here are some good resources to read on Vitamin D2 versus D3

1) The premise of the video is that you can use Twitter to send messages to celebrities, who will then ignore you. The implication is that celebrities are rude and that people who message them are pathetic.
But this is not always true. Celebrities will sometimes (even often) reply to their fans, and if they don't it's probably not due to rudeness, but due to THIS
being what the Twitter feed of a celebrity looks like.
2) In the video, I showed some supposed Tweets tweeted by Arnold Schwarzenegger. These weren't taken from his Twitter account but were (I thought) genuine Arnie quotes from interviews and speeches over the years.
At least one of them turns out not to be genuine, according to a YouTube commenter. My fault for not checking thoroughly enough.
3) The Dalai Lama genuinely does have a Twitter feed. Sample tweet: "Damn Blackberry is playing up and have lost a load of messages. Can't believe I reincarnated for this!"
4) The letter to Olivia Newton-John is based on something I dimly remember writing when I was nine or ten; I really did write to her fan club expressing my undying love. She did not write back.
EDIT June 18
Phil Jupitus sent the video to Stephen Fry, who shared it with his fans. A single tweet from Stephen Fry apparently translates into twenty thousand YouTube views at current exchange rates.
EDIT June 24
The video is being tweeted by American celebs now, most prominently Alyssa Milano.
(I had to Google her. She's an actress.)
