Well…Sebastian Moran is not a canon character on BBC Sherlock yet.
Theoretically, one may attempt to write a profile of him using information from Conan Doyle's original portrayal (except that would really suck because he shows up extremely little and Doyle was not exactly a master of character development), or one can use fanon portrayals, except the issue with that is the undeniable fact that fanon portrayals vary quite widely and are also, as the name suggests, not canon, and therefore not accurate, and accuracy is something that I really value when it comes to writing things that are as delicate and subjective as psychological profiles.
So, the answer is no, sorry. I am personally not going to write a profile for Moran until he becomes a canon character on BBC Sherlock, which most likely (or at least hopefully) will occur in Series 3, and even then I would probably wait until I know enough about him to attempt it. But who knows, maybe in the meantime someone else will write him up a profile, or perhaps someone already has.
But it's as inscrutable as your mind.
Thank you very much, I'm glad the work I put into this blog is as rewarding to others as it is to me.
My very long confession/analysis of Jim pretty much similar to your's except I decided to label him with a couple of psychiatric illnesses too.
What exactly is wrong with Mr Moriarty?
I've always thought of him as evil but for the first time I look at Mr Moriarty from a medical perspective.
Is he mentally ill?
And if so, what does he have and how did he become this way?
Reblog if you like it! Reasonable comments welcome.
Prove me wrong, ordinary Sherlock. Prove that you're not like them. I want you to prove that you know the truth, thatwe are one and the same, in both life and in death. Prove that you're not ordinary, convince me.
I know you're dead. I know you're only human. I've always known that, even when it seemed like you didn't.
And I know you're never coming back.
Because these are facts and they can't be changed, and I know that. But I don't believe it. Because there's a difference between knowing and believing.
I know you're dead, Sherlock. But I don't believe it.
I believe in you, and I will wait for you.
Alright, I know that I have been largely absent for the past, well, long time, and also that I've been making more text posts than I usually do, but here is some final important information.
I sort of changed this blog. Not in terms of appearance, but of content and focus. There will still be confessions, of course, and the psychological profiles are still relatively the same, but I have changed the intention of the blog from being mostly about the stuff I make to being about the stuff you make.
You being the followers.
You can read more about this in the new About page I created.
You may have noticed that I, as I mentioned in a previous post, deleted every edit of mine on this blog that is not a confession, and then relocated it to my personal blog. This is part of the change. I don't want this blog to function as my personal Sherlock blog, which is basically what it was before, I want to use this blog to entertain and inform other fans of Sherlock on Tumblr that are interested in psychology and its connections with this show. Essentially, I want this blog to be for you.
You may notice that I follow back everyone who follows me, and the reason why is because I know how brilliant and creative so many of you are, and I can see it on my dash every day, and because of this I encourage you to share your ideas and opinions and knowledge, so if you can, please take this opportunity to read the about page and submit to Sherlock Character Confessions.
Thank you to all my followers, and I'll get back to posting confessions soon.
There is clarity in loneliness. To feel nothing is to know everything, to love no one is to see everyone for who they really are.
If you have not noticed already, I've reblogged and changed the source of nearly every edit on this blog that is not a confession. Those have all been relocated to my personal blog.
I've decided to delete all posts on this blog that are off topic (not having to do with psychology, Sherlock, confessions, or this blog).
Apologies for my recent absence…I spent the last week in Tokyo, which I mentioned on my personal blog, but not on here. I may post some stuff later. Submissions would be really helpful…however, I usually don't receive any, which is disappointing because I know that many of my followers are a lot more intelligent and insightful than I am (I know this because I have been on your blogs) and could probably come up with some amazing confessions, so please submit.
Also, I currently have over 350 followers, which, in the grand scheme of tumblr, isn't very much, but it certainly is to me. So a massive, massive thank you to all of you.
Sometimes, yes. But not often. Not anymore.
To care — that is an enormous risk. To care is to put yourself in a position of vulnerability, to increase greatly the possibility of pain or betrayal. Sentiment clouds logic, love impedes judgment, and heart will always win the battle with head, if you give it the chance.
So don't. Perhaps there is something wrong with us. But whatever it may be, we are better off with it than without it.
It's okay if you hurt me sometimes, Sherlock, or forget me sometimes, because my job isn't really to be your friend. You already have one of those, and a person like you wouldn't need another. I suppose my job is to just…to just be there for you whenever you do need me.
I'd do anything for you, and of course you already know that, but sometimes I don't think you really believe it. When I say anything, I mean anything.
In a good way, I hope.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan House Lawmakers will take up a package of bills in Committee today that will permit microbrewers to become Macro-brewers, and double the number of brew-pubs one person could own from 3 to 6.
Co-sponsor Andy Schor says these laws were first written decades to limit the growth of the brewers.
These bills have been written to further expand their growth.
If passed it would allow breweries to expand their production from 30-thousand kegs to 60 thousand.

love the smell makes my skin super soft....firming seems to be working my skin looks a lot better! Price is awesome too
I really, really like this product. It is super-moisturizing without being greasy. It has a rich chocolatey smell that lingers (at least on my skin) so avoid if you don't like stong smells. I do not believe that it has a particular firming effect but then again no cream on its own can do that. After using this though, your skin is very well moisturized with a ever-so-slight sheen to it so it definitely looks better!
I really love this lotion! I have always hated the cocoa butter scent, but this one is sweeter, more like chocolate, and the scent dissipates quickly. I was using the bust formula, but the tubes ran out too quickly, so I tried this firming butter. It soaks in quickly but makes my skin SO soft with no greasy residue. I noticed my upper arms suddenly looking much better, and while I work out quite a bit, the skin was still a bit flabby. It looks so much firmer now, so I think this is helping. Just a really nice every day lotion that seems to improve the texture of your skin, just as it promises on the bottle. Will continue to purchase!

Amazing lotion!! Smells amazing (traditional cocoa butter scent, but not as strong as Palmer's regular cocoa butter lotion), soaks in fast, very moisturizing, and most important of all IT REALLY FIRMS. I've definitely noticed a difference in the firmness of the skin that I've been using the lotion on.
I absolutely love this body lotion. It smells so good & keeps my skin moisturized. I've used it once a day for the past 5 months. It really doesn't firm anything. Not sure if it's helping my stretch marks. I heard only time can do that anyway. :) It's kind of expensive. It's about $6 for a 10.6 oz pump bottle. It originally came in a tube which I never had issues with. With the new packaging, Often times the pump is broken & it's impossible to get all the lotion out. Overall, I am able to look past the little complications, mainly because of the scent & feel of this product. Enjoy!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love this product!! I don't find it firms but I think this is possibly the best! Moisturiser I've ever bought! It's so affordable too and the bottle lasts a long time too! It leaves my skin so smooth and not oily like some other products tend to do! Absolutely amazing cream! 10/10 :)
First I rated it 5 out of 5. I know no cream/lotion will have you look firm or smaller, but I have been working out lately and I could use cocoa butter to help smooth out the cottage cheese look, and it seems to be slightly working. Just having moisturized skin helps with the look of this skin, its temporary.
Now, I hate the scent its cloying, made me sick to my stomach. 2 out 5.
The reason i bought this was because while at Ulta i was $2 short of being able to use my coupon! :p
I needed something around two dollars that i would actually use- so that it was not just a waste of two dollar junk that would sit around.
When i saw this lotion on sale for $4, I figured i would give it a try. I was unsure at first because of the smell (you know what i am talking about). I figured that I would use it on my legs & feet if i hated the smell or the lotion after buying it.
The smell was odd at first, but I got used to it and now it doesn't bother me at all.
I love the thick creamy texture of the lotion and it rubs right in!
btw, I did not buy this for the claim of it being able to firm me. I do not believe any lotion product can do that.
I would buy it again if it was on sale & I had a coupon.
Great product for the $, definitely firms. I like the Palmer's fragrance, but if you are not a fan you won't like this b/c it is the classic cocoa butter Palmer's Scent.
Hard to find.
Awesome product!!!! I pray they never discontinue this. I have saggy looking skin on the back of my legs. I've never been extremely heavy, but have gained and lost 15 pounds here or there throughout my life and had three kids, so my body has changed over time. This stuff is awesome. My skin looks so much better since I started using this. I even use it on my face, because I love it that much and have had decent results with that. Didn't break me out or anything. It's a fabulous product. I hope they make it forever!

Broadway show blurbs can be banal and predictable, but not when it comes to The Book of Mormon.

FLOWERY BRANCH – Here's transcript of the teleconference with cornerback Asante Samuel from Wednesday.
He has no hard feelings toward the Eagles, believes that he, Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes can co-exist and that he and Jacquizz Rodgers can work out a deal for jersey number 22.
OPENING STATEMENT: How is everybody doing today. Ok, I'm sorry that I had to jet out so fast on you guys. This thing happened out of the middle of nowhere. I'll be back up there shortly. I'm happy to be a Falcon. I know the city is embracing me well. I'm excited. I know the Falcons already have an excellent team, excellent coaches, schemes and talent. I'm just going to add to the bunch to try to get the one common goal. You know what I mean. I'll take any questions that you all have.
ON WHEN THE DEAL STARTED TO COME TOGETHER AND HOW HE'LL FIT INTO THE DEFENSE: I'm a confident guy. I'm going to always have confidence and that's how I play and how I operate on a daily basis. I'm going to come into this thing and be ready to compete. . . we'll see how that goes. I'm sure I'll make a big impact, some way, some how.
I've been getting [new followers] every second of the minute. It's fun right now. Everybody is excited and pumped up. They feel like I'm a missing part of the (chain). We'll see how this thing goes.
[You can follow him on Twitter @pick_six22]
ON HIS IMPRESSIONS OF THE FALCONS (The Falcons have played the Eagles in each of the past two seasons): Like I said, Great talent. Great coaches. Great schemes. A wonderful place and organization to play. I have heard nothing but great things . . . Thomas Dimitroff, the general manager, we knew each other from New England and he was a big a part of making this deal happen. He was excited too. He knows what I bring to the table. I'm going to come in their confident.
MORE ON DIMITROFF: I knew he had a lot of familiarity with me. We knew each other. We talked every time that we play each other. That definitely had a lot to do with it. He definitely made me feel comfortable. I also talked to coach [Mike Smith]. Everybody is making me feel comfortable and at home. It feels like I have not missed a beat coming from Philly.
MORE ON COACH SMITH: I spoke to him a couple of times actually.
ON WHAT SMITH SAID ABOUT HOW SAMUEL WILL FIT IN: He knows that I'm confident and the expectations that I have of myself. . . He knows that I can make a big impact.
ON IF HE HAS A PREFERENCE TO PLAY ON THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE:Whatever I need to do and whatever's best to help the team win, I'm ready to do. Wherever they need to play me at left, right, back or forth and make a difference.
ON PLAYING WITH DUNTA ROBINSON AND BRENT GRIMES: I think it's going to be good. Those guys are very talented and well established. Brent Grimes is coming off the last two years. He's adjusted and is making some big plays. Dunta has been doing his thing since he's been there. So you know what I mean, we are all going to come in and work together to make this thing the best that it's ever been.
ON WHEN HE PLANS TO START TALKING TO SOME OF HIS NEW TEAMMATES: Probably a little after I finish talking to you guys.
ON IF HE KNOWS SOME OF THE PLAYERS ALREADY: I've run across a few of the guys. Dunta Robinson, Roddy White and Mike Turner. They are some of the people that I've seen out or I've seen before. We've talked. My boy Matt Ryan, I know he's happy to see me. . .(laugh). Tell him it's all love and I can teach him some of the little tricks of the trade.
ON RESTRUCTING THE CONTRACT: It was not a big deal for me at all.
ON ADDING A YEAR: That's more something for my agent. He could talk to you about it. He did the deal. We just went over the numbers. I wanted to be a Falcon and they made it work.
ANY HARD FEELINGS TOWARD PHILADELPHIA FOR TRADING YOU: Come on man. You know it's always hard feelings, man. Naw, I was just joking. I wish Philly nothing but the best. I love that organization and Eagles nation. I know they were sad to see me go. I know everybody can't figure out how this is happening and why this is going this way. Business is Business and life is life.
ON THE QUARTERBACKS THE FALCONS ARE FACING THIS YEAR: I'm not a big talking. The only thing I can say is that it's time to go to work. It's time to get to work. Put the pedal to the metal. It seems like a bunch of all-star quarterbacks that we are playing against. So, like I said, we have to get cracking.
ON HIS 5 PERCENT RULE: It's my 10 percent rule. You guys will find out when I get there that I only talk to the media 10 percent of the time. That could change. We could negotiate that. In Philly, they are real drama-fied. If y'all start some drama that 10 percent could get real tight.
ON HIS AGE (31): You've got a lot of people 30 and 31 and still producing at a high level. I think for the most part, it's how you handle your offseason. How you train. How you work on your explosiveness, your technique and your hands. You can just say I need to go out there and be in shape and run 100 laps and run 100, 110 [yard sprints] and all of that and say I'm in the best shape of my life. You need to constantly work on your speed, your explosiveness, your hand-to-eye coordination and quickness. That's how you maintain, you know what I mean.
ON IF HIS OFFSEASON PROGRAM HAS CHANGE AS HE'S GOTTEN OLDER: It's my same routine since I entered the league, you know what I mean. I'm not missing a beat with my explosion, speed and hands. I do a lot of the resistance training with the bands and all that stuff. Those are some of the things that I like to get into.
ON KEEPING JERSEY NUMBER 22: (Laughs) You know I'm a deuce-deuce man for life. I'm sure the Lil' Homie [Jacquizz Rodgers]. . . we won't have a problem working it out. You know how that goes.

Where are the Saints fans? This is a saint troll message board right?
April 25th, 2012
7:59 pm
With Asante Samuel on board, we have Brent Grimes covering the slot receiver. Without Samuel, we'd be looking at Chris Owens covering the slot man. HUGE upgrade.
Now let's just hope Mike Nolan will have the DBs jam the receivers at the line, so that the pass rush can have a little extra time to get to the QB. With guys like Kroy Biermann, that can make all the difference in the world.
April 25th, 2012
8:00 pm
Boom! Should be….interesting… Don't think Asante would come here not to start on one of the edges, so….. what happens? Can Dunta play in the slot?

Here we were this time last year having just been butchered by Aaron Rodgers for 5 consecutive 80 yards drives, sitting with the 27th pick of the draft, and wondering how with this we could get more explosive on offense, more pass rush from the LDE, and better CD coverage to get off the field on 4rd downs.
Just one year later we have added Julio Jones, Ray Edwards, JaQuizz Rogers and now Asante Samuel. Wow!
That's getting it done, Mr. Dimitroff!
April 25th, 2012
8:09 pm
off the field on 3rd downs
April 25th, 2012
8:10 pm
I think Grimes is made for the slot. He could really thrive there especially in a contract year. I can't tell you how many sacks the Falcons would get if they just had one more second to rush the passer. I think our coverage will be much better. Its got to help the pass rush some. I still think we need one more pass rusher to put into the rotation. Whats the deal with the Green Bay safety, I heard he just got cut.
April 25th, 2012
8:10 pm
Oh, and two new Coordinators too!

Ball hawk- They probably eavesdropping dropping on us right now. LOL
April 25th, 2012
8:15 pm
I think the new coordinators are going to make a major difference. No more vanilla, no screen offense. No more waiting till the pass is caught and try to tackle. Remember Cris Collinsworth last year wondering why Lofton was 12 yards back waiting for the pass ??
April 25th, 2012
8:21 pm
Good move Thomas. I really wish that we would have addressed the defensive and offensive lines first. I support the philosophy of building from the inside out. I think a good pass rush will make your secondary look better (see the Giants last year). That said, the move makes sense. I'm still not convinced TD has made enough championship moves. I'm just not a believer. However…as a Falcons fan…it would be inappropriate to use my "Fire…." tag on a day like today. I'll reassess my stance after the draft is over.
April 25th, 2012
8:26 pm
Great move Falcons! Glad you're here Asante!!
April 25th, 2012
8:33 pm
I guess falCANT fans are now going to give the Super Bowl win to the falCANTS now that Asante Samuel is a falCANT. It will not happen. Again, different year, players, coaches. It still the same old falCANTS. No champoinship !!!!!!!!

Great move , just thought they were going to do this last year after the Eagles added a corner in free agency. Took them a year to pull the trigger on the deal but i guess late is better than never. Definite up grade for our secondary. GOOOOOO FALCONS.

Great day for the Falcons…Dimitroff got this guy in exchange for a 7th round pick. This is theft by taking in my book. TD really screwed the Eagles on this one. I hope no one screws us over like TD did the Eagles.

@Gary…I don't think Grimes is worth 10 million, but there is no way we trade the guy. TD and Smitty are ROLLING WITH NOLAN. The Defense will be a top 10 defense (barring injury). I am pleased with the Defense. Oh, I do feel Grimes is an excellent CB though, just not Revis or Champ Bailey.

Today is a great day, this organization has come a long ways from were it use to be.We long time Falcons fans have got to be proud of the way our team handle its business now,over the last 5 yrs this team has added an abundance of play makers to the roster. I'm sure once we add a jumbo left tackle we have to be the favorite to win the NFC South which means playing at home in the playoffs.Would be a great thing to win our 1st Super Bowl in NO,Bourbon St would never be the same.

Great news picking up Samuel! Samuel and Grimes start on the edges and Dunta on the slot. Grimes is clearly the best corner we have (any true fan over the past 5yrs would know). Samuel being here should only make Grimes better.

Finally we start stealing some of this talent from teams with picks that doesn't matter. Asante for a 7th round is definitely a steal even though I understand why philly did it. I think they are going to move daunta robinson at slot when we run nickel formation. Now we just need to Sign Nick Collins and Marcus McNeil. Then draft best available player in draft.

Has anybody else noticed this guy could have HOF numbers with 3 really good seasons here ? He already has 45 ints. If he averages 5 ints he'll be at 60 when his contract is up. I'm not sure if there's a DB with that many picks who didn't make it but some of the all time greats didn't have that many.
This could be the most important pickup we make this week.

@A-ville Ranger…….I like your post, but getting to 60 might be a little high expectation wise…..but love the addition!!

but if he can get 6-7 in the 3 years he is"signed" too and a ring….he will certainly be in the conversation( so the passing league certainly helps)….But we gotta get that ring, More excited for having a WHOLE off-season with a "newish" coaching staff and kept around pass rush(healthy Edwards and Sid, Biermann in diff kinda rolls)…..But it won't matter if we don't protect the QB

*June 29 photo from Gaza. photo: Fadi Badwan
Unsurprisingly, one hears little to no news of Gaza these days, and utterly distorted news on Palestine in general. The ongoing manufactured crises that the 1.8 million Palestinians of Gaza have been suffering since at least 2006 is old news, their misery only now and then newsworthy.
There are murmurs from the usual suspects in the Zionist state's administration about those damn rockets from Gaza, with the vitriol of Lieberman flowing, calling to re-occupy Gaza. The thing is, while they did pull their roughly 8,000 colonists out in 2005, the Israelis never stopped occupying Gaza and, contrary to their obligations as an occupier, the various genocidal policies Israel has implemented over the years have served to further the ethnic cleansing of Palestine they have shown such talent for.
The corporate media has ignored, under-reported, or distorted the following important news items on Palestine:
Palestinian teen abducted, killed in Jerusalem
"A Palestinian teenager from occupied east Jerusalem was kidnapped and killed early Wednesday, hours after Israelis rampaged through the city calling for Arabs to die in "revenge" for the deaths of three settlers by unknown assailants.
…the body, discovered in a forest in the area of Deir Yassin, was charred and showed signs of violence.
Ma'an also reported that the body had been burned."
In Heinous Crime by Israeli Settlers, Palestinian Child Kidnapped, Tortured and Killed and His Body Mutilated in Occupied Jerusalem
"In one of the most heinous crimes committed by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the oPt, a group of Israeli settlers kidnapped Mohammed Hussein Abu Khudair, 16, from the vicinity of his family's house in Shu'fat neighborhood in the north of occupied Jerusalem, subjected him to brutal torture, and then killed him.
According to investigations conducted by PCHR, at approximately 05:00 on Wednesday, 02 July 2014, 5 Israeli settlers kidnapped the child from the vicinity of his family's house in Shu'fat neighborhood in the north of occupied Jerusalem. A few hours later, the Israeli police declared that they found the child's body in forest lands near "Givat Shaul" settlement, adjacent to Deir Yassin village, west of Jerusalem. The police confirmed that signs of torture and burns were seen on the child's body."

The Effects of Renewable Portfolio Standards on Carbon Intensity in the United States
Samantha Sekar, Brent L. Sohngen
RFF Discussion Paper 14-10 | April 2014
Abstract: US state carbon intensities are highly heterogeneous, and few studies have been aimed at identifying the causes of these differences among states. Determining the factors that enable certain states to develop their economies on a less carbon-intensive trajectory can give us insight into how those state characteristics or policies can be replicated to achieve lower carbon intensities in other economies. Our study finds that renewable portfolio standards (RPS) have already had a negative and significant impact on carbon intensities through their influence on state electricity prices. Additionally, we show that the adoption of RPS reduced overall US carbon emissions by 4 percent by 2010.

Auction Mechanisms for Allocating Subsidies for Carbon Emissions Reduction: An Experimental Investigation
Haoran He, Yefeng Chen
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 14-06 | April 2014
Abstract: One method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to subsidize emissions-reducing activities. The question is how to allocate such subsidies. Allocation through auctions is an emerging mechanism. In a controlled experimental market setting, we compare the effects of a variety of auction mechanisms for allocating subsidies for carbon emissions reduction in China. Besides the conventional auction mechanisms, we place particular focus on testing the actual performance of the auction mechanism proposed by Erik Maskin (2011). We find that, while the Maskin auction mechanism spends the most from a fixed subsidy budget and leads to the largest emissions reduction, its per-unit emissions reduction cost is higher than that of discriminatory and uniform-price auction mechanisms. Both the Maskin and uniform-price auctions outperform discriminatory auctions in price discovery. Furthermore, from the government's perspective, the Maskin auctions exhibit the strongest improvement tendency with repeated auctions.

Explaining the Adoption of Diesel Fuel Passenger Cars in Europe
Joshua Linn
RFF Discussion Paper 14-08 | April 2014
Abstract: Compared with gasoline engines, diesel fuel engines significantly reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles, but they emit more nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. Across countries, the market share of diesel fuel engines in passenger vehicles varies from close to zero to more than 80 percent. Using a structural model of vehicle markets in seven European countries, I show that vehicle taxes and willingness to pay for fuel costs, rather than fuel prices or supply, explain adoption. The model is used to compare the environmental implications of fuel taxes and carbon dioxide emissions rate standards.

Designing by Degrees: Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness in Climate Policy
Anthony Paul
Karen L. Palmer
, Matthew Woerman
RFF Discussion Paper 14-05 | February 2014
Abstract: Substantially reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity production will require a transformation of the resources used to produce power. This paper analyzes the economic consequences of a suite of different flexible and comprehensive policies to reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector, including a carbon tax, a tradable emissions rate performance standard, and two versions of a clean energy standard (CES). A technology-based CES can bring about substantial reductions in CO2 emissions but would neglect to harvest some economic reductions because it fails to affect decisions at three margins: emissions rate heterogeneity in the natural gas and coal generation fleets and electricity demand reductions. Natural gas emissions rate heterogeneity can be addressed by crediting clean generation based on emissions rates instead of technology. Coal emissions rate heterogeneity can be addressed by altering the policy to credit all generators instead of just a subset. Demand reductions can be harvested by removing the subsidy component of the policy and allowing retail electricity prices to rise. Harvesting emissions abatement on all three margins saves about 40 percent of the discounted cumulative economic welfare costs of a technology-based CES through 2035, although the distributional implications are different. All of the policies result in substantial increases in social welfare.

Environmental and Technology Policy Options in the Electricity Sector: Interactions and Outcomes
Carolyn Fischer
, Richard G. Newell, Louis Preonas
RFF Discussion Paper 13-20 | December 2013
Abstract: Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is in place? We extend the model of Fischer and Newell (2008) with advanced and conventional renewable energy technologies and short and long-run EE investments. We incorporate both knowledge spillovers and imperfections in the demand for energy efficiency. We conclude that some technology policies, particularly correcting R&D market failures, can be useful complements to emissions pricing, but ambitious renewable targets or subsidies seem unlikely to enhance welfare when placed alongside sufficient emissions pricing. The desirability of stringent EE policies is highly sensitive to the degree of undervaluation of EE by consumers, which also has implications for policies that tend to lower electricity prices Even with multiple market failures, emissions pricing remains the single most cost-effective option for reducing emissions.

Wood Bioenergy and Land Use: A Challenge to the Searchinger Hypothesis
Roger A. Sedjo
, Brent L. Sohngen, Anne Riddle
RFF Discussion Paper 13-33 | November 2013
Abstract: A concern of many environmentalists is that the use of biomass energy will decimate the forests. Searchinger et al. (2008, 2009) examined this issue related to corn ethanol and suggested that substituting corn ethanol for petroleum would increase carbon emissions associated with the land conversion abroad necessary to offset the decline in corn availability. Associated with these concerns is the overall issue of climate change (IPCC 2006). This issue is broader than simply corn. If agricultural croplands are drawn into the production of biofuel feedstocks, commodity prices are expected to rise, triggering land conversions overseas, releasing carbon emissions, and offsetting the carbon reductions expected from bioenergy. Using a general stylized forest sector management model, our study examines the economic potential of traditional industrial forests and supplemental dedicated fuelwood plantations to produce biomass on submarginal lands. It finds that these sources can economically produce large levels of biomass without compromising crop production, thereby mitigating the land conversion and carbon emissions effects posited by the Searchinger Hypothesis.

Two World Views on Carbon Revenues
Dallas Burtraw
, Samantha Sekar
RFF Discussion Paper 13-32 | October 2013
Related journal article
Abstract: The introduction of a price on carbon dioxide is expected to be more efficient than prescriptive regulation. It also instantiates substantial economic value. Initially programs allocated this value to incumbent firms (grandfathering), but the growing movement toward auctioning or emissions fees makes carbon revenues into a payment for environmental services. This paper asks, to whom should this payment accrue? If the atmosphere resource, as a common property resource, is viewed as the property of government, then the decision of how to use the revenue can be viewed as a fiscal problem, and efficiency considerations dominate. If the atmosphere is viewed as held in common, then the revenue might be considered compensation to owners and delivered as payment to individuals. This decision has efficiency and distributional consequences that affect the political economy and the likelihood and durability of climate policy. We summarize trends among six existing carbon-pricing programs.

Using the Tax System to Address Competition Issues with a Carbon Tax
Gilbert E. Metcalf
RFF Discussion Paper 13-30 | October 2013
Abstract: This paper considers how tax reductions financed by a carbon tax could be designed to mitigate the need for specific relief for firms in select energy-intensive, trade-exposed (EITE) sectors. In particular, I consider impacts on manufacturing sectors at the six-digit North American Industry Classification System level, with a special focus on firms that would be presumptively eligible for competitiveness relief using the criteria in the Waxman–Markey bill (H.R. 2454). The paper has a number of findings. First, determination of eligibility for relief analogous to the free allowance allocation in H.R. 2454 is sensitive to energy intensity. Second, providing compensation to EITE sectors through the corporate income tax—analogous to the output-based allowance allocation in Waxman–Markey—is certainly feasible, but tax appetite within the EITE sectors is insufficient to fully use any credits that attempted to offset more than about one-quarter of their carbon tax liability. Third, certain reforms do better than others at providing disproportionate relief to EITE sectors. Finally, economic theory predicts a substantial cost to diverting carbon tax revenue toward compensation of specific sectors. Theory also suggests that firms should treat policy risk no differently from the way they treat the other risks they face as they do business. But politics may dictate otherwise; if so, the analysis here suggests that certain approaches may work better than others to ensure that relief is appropriately targeted at minimal cost.

Do Market Shares or Technology Explain Rising New Vehicle Fuel Economy?
Shefali Khanna,
Joshua Linn
RFF Discussion Paper 13-29 | September 2013
Abstract: By decreasing gasoline consumption, greater fuel economy could significantly reduce environmental and energy security concerns. In this paper, we show that since the year 2000, technology and market shares have contributed roughly equally to rising new vehicle fuel economy in the United States. We discuss the implications of these patterns for the safety and welfare effects of fuel economy standards.

Technology Flexibility and Stringency for Greenhouse Gas Regulations
Dallas Burtraw
, Matthew Woerman
RFF Discussion Paper 13-24 | July 2013
Abstract: The Clean Air Act provides the primary regulatory framework for climate policy in the United States. Tradable performance standards (averaging) emerge as the likely tool to achieve flexibility in the regulation of existing stationary sources. This paper examines the relationship between flexibility and stringency. The metric to compare the stringency of policies is ambiguous. The relevant section of the act is traditionally technology based, suggesting an emissions rate focus. However, a specific emissions rate improvement averaged over a larger set of generators reduces the actual emissions change. A marginal abatement cost criterion to compare policy designs suggests cost-effectiveness across sources. This criterion can quadruple the emissions reductions that are achieved, with net social benefits exceeding $25 billion in 2020, with a 1.3 percent electricity price increase. Under the act, multiple stringency criteria are relevant. EPA should evaluate state implementation plans according to a portfolio of attributes, including effectiveness and cost.

Comparative Life Cycle Assessments: Carbon Neutrality and Wood Biomass Energy
Roger A. Sedjo
RFF Discussion Paper 13-11 | April 2013
Abstract: Biomass energy is expected to play a major role in the substitution of renewable energy sources for fossil fuels over the next several decades. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA 2012) forecasts increases in the share of biomass in US energy production from 8 percent in 2009 to 15 percent by 2035. The general view has been that carbon emitted into the atmosphere from biological materials is carbon neutral—part of a closed loop whereby plant regrowth simply recaptures the carbon emissions associated with the energy produced. Recently this view has been challenged, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering regulations to be applied to biomass energy carbon emissions. A basic approach for analyses of environmental impacts has been the use of life cycle assessment (LCA), a methodology for assessing and measuring the environmental impact of a product over its lifetime—from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling. However, LCA approaches vary, and the results of alternative methodologies often differ (Helin et al. 2012). This study investigates and compares the implications of these alternative approaches for emissions from wood biomass energy, the carbon footprint, and also highlights the differences in LCA environmental impacts.

Mixing It Up: Power Sector Energy and Regional and Regulatory Climate Policies in the Presence of a Carbon Tax
Dallas Burtraw
Karen L. Palmer
RFF Discussion Paper 13-09 | April 2013
Abstract: A carbon tax will interact with other policies that are intended to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and encourage clean sources of energy and energy efficiency. This paper examines these policy interactions. A well-designed carbon tax can be an efficient instrument for reducing emissions, yet whether it will be implemented in an efficient manner is uncertain. A legislatively determined tax may not fully reflect up-to-date scientific and economic information. Behavioral and institutional factors suggest that a tax may not have its fully intended effect. These considerations suggest that climate policy should and will continue to be a complex mix of regulaions at various levels of government, even with a carbon price. Nonetheless, the possibility of unintended interactions among policies remains. The role for policies to encourage renewables and energy efficiency depends on the stringency of the carbon tax and presence of externalities related to technological learning and the energy efficiency gap.

Disney submits plans for an omnimover boat ride
Written by Robert Niles
In case you missed it last night, theme park fans' corner of Twitter erupted with the discovery that the US Patent and Trademark Office last month published a patent application from Disney for a omnimover boat ride. (Here's an easier-to-read version of the application, from Google.)
Images from Disney's patent application
Into geekspeak? Here's the abstract of Disney's application:
"A floating omnimover ride with high capacity throughput and enhanced control over speeds of passenger boats. The ride includes a water containment structure with spaced apart sidewalls defining an elongated guide channel that defines a loop-shaped ride path or circuit. The ride includes a volume of liquid contained in the guide channel to a desired depth. The ride also includes a chain of passenger boats floating in the liquid contained in the guide channel. Each of the boats is linked to the two adjacent boats with a connecting link such that the chain of boats is a continuous loop. The chain of boats has a length that is approximately equal to a length of the ride path, and during operation of the ride, the boats in the chain are moved along the loop-shaped ride path at a predefined rate by a pump station moving the liquid in the guide channel."
Translation? Picture Pirates of the Caribbean or It's a Small World with the boats all hooked together, nose to tail, a la the Doombuggies on the Haunted Mansion.
By linking the boats into a continuous chain, Disney would eliminate bumping and slower boats, which can disrupt the flow of guests through a ride. To maximize hourly capacity, the chain wouldn't stop to load and upload riders, so a moving walkway at the load and unload points would be necessary, as on Mansion. But Disney's been thinking about nifty ways to alter the omnimover ride experience. Here's one:
"In addition to the guide channel or trough, the ride system may also include an open bay or free-floating portion or section in which the boats are not guided by and do not contact nearby sidewalls. As long as a sufficient number of the floating vehicles are contained in and guided within the guide channel (or flowing or drive) portion or section of the ride system, other sections of the vehicle chain may be "undriven" by the water in the free-floating section or bay portion of the ride system. In this portion, the water may be relatively still or unflowing, but the boats in the vehicle chain will still follow a path between an exit of the guide channel and an entrance to the guide channel because they are pulled and/or pushed by the boats or vehicles traveling in the guide channel (where water is flowing to push the boats along the path between adjacent sidewalls). In the open bay or free-floating portion, the boats or vehicles may even be caused to traverse over land or out of the water by placing ramps in the path of the boats and providing pads or rollers/wheels on the bottom of the boat hulls/bodies. The pushing and pulling forces provided along the vehicle chain by the boats in the guide channel due to the flowing water will roll the boats in the open bay or free-floating portion over the dry or shallow portion of the ride. By including an open waterway in the ride system, the ride experience is enhanced as the boats appear to be magically guided and propelled through the still water with their boats spaced apart from guiding sidewalls."
The TL;DR? As long as you've got the boats chained together, you can take away the guide channel for a section of the ride, and the boats will continue to follow one another through that section. Heck, you could even move the chain of "boats" onto a land segment for a bit.
So where will we see this new type of omnimover boat ride? The consensus on Twitter seemed to be Shanghai Disneyland. But once a company proves a technology in one park, it's nice to get a return on that tech development expense by spreading the technology to other parks. Of course, if Disney gets this patent, that would block other theme park companies from developing similar rides, so US theme park fans would need to wait for Disney to decide to bring it over here.
Readers' Opinions

Disney has a lot of peoplemovers..... this one floats.
From 220.127.116.11 on February 20, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Can you really patent "attach your boats together with a chain"? Well, maybe nobody thought you could before. And the new patent law takes effect, I think next month, that says the first person to file a patent in the winner, rather than the first person to actually invent something.
So if nobody has already patented this, and the patent office doesn't decide this is so obvious as to be unpatentable, the new law might actually help.
BTW, I'd expect to see a lot of patent filings over the next month or so, as there may be many things that other have created that they didn't patent, and that patent-jumpers can now claim.

Too bad they didn't have this figured out in time for Voyage of The Little Mermaid...can you IMAGINE?
From James Trexen on February 20, 2013 at 3:05 PM
Is it possible that we can see this used as a part of Avatar at Animal Kingdom, or has construction on that project been set back?
From Joshua Counsil on February 20, 2013 at 3:13 PM
I'm interested in how Disney will deal with buckling, i.e., when the first car is attempting to reenter the guide rails, the first car turns sharply in one direction while the adjacent car turns sharply in the other direction.
From 22.214.171.124 on February 20, 2013 at 3:39 PM
Seems ok. Not the newest and greatest tech, but still cool. However, when they mention "waves", i wonder at the extent of their usage. Do they mean small waves to lap at the side of the boat? or do they mean rolling tides that allow bay sections of the ride to rise and fall enough to create a little thrill? If the later, this could be really incredible!
From David L. on February 20, 2013 at 3:41 PM
I forgot to log in. The comment regarding the extent of the waves is mine (though it probably isn't up yet).

Little mermaid would have been perfect
From Phil B. on February 20, 2013 at 8:43 PM
Another omnimover, cool, I'll alert the press
From Todd Donahue on February 21, 2013 at 6:34 AM
Wow another people mover like the haunted mansion or small world. Those rides were made like 40 or 50 years ago right? It's going to be in water too unbelievable. First you tell me they are coming out with a family coaster seven dwarfs and now a small world ride in water. Truly what can the imagineers think of next........ I know how about an interactive que..... It's a great time to be a Disney Fan.
From 18.104.22.168 on February 21, 2013 at 6:39 AM
Not only the boats will go forward as the omnimover but also the boats will move from side to side in the same way the doombuggies do (I saw another patent for that in one site, I don't remember which).
That is definitely Shanghai Pirates. The lake part will be a show similar to the one in DHS, and the boats (or at least the upper part of the boats) will turn to the center of the stage while continue to navigate sideways, and the guide channel part will be similar to the traditional pirates attraction.
From Rob Pastor on February 21, 2013 at 6:58 AM
It'll probably be used for a high capacity Meet & Greet... Chuckle
From 18.104.22.168 on February 21, 2013 at 9:14 AM
I think we here at Walt Disney World are always the LAST to have the truly amazing stuff.... Unless we travel over to Universal it seems :(
From Rod Whitenack on February 21, 2013 at 9:40 AM
Am I the only one that's excited about this? As a lover of the classic darkride concept, I bemoan the fact that there aren't MORE new rides installed yearly that seek to emulate the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. I get the irony that they've submitted a patent for a ride design that looks 40 years old, but the latest thing in technology doesn't always mean "better." Sometimes it does. "Spider-man" and "Harry Potter" certainly broke some new ground, but I still feel the classic darkride concept is a perfectly viable vehicle for interactive storytelling.
From Skipper Adam on February 21, 2013 at 9:54 AM
I guess with those vague descriptions and the branding of an "omnimover" you guys are quick to dismiss the potential. I think the system, from what I hear at work, will not necessarily be an omnimover in the sense that vehicles are close to each other at all times. True, they move in a loop, but the space between the boast will be wider than one expects. The most notable aspects are the ability to have the boats float from point A to B in a wider pool of water without guide rails, and in addition, waves and currants to affect and change the course of the boats in the pool.
From Anon Mouse on February 21, 2013 at 9:57 AM
The first thought was Avatar boat ride as its layout matches the Avatar proposal.
A chained boat is the worst way to enjoy a boat ride. What would have gotten me excited is a kuka robotic arm that holds a boat and takes the boat on a journey with simulated jumps and spins. I give you this idea for free.
From 188.8.131.52 on February 21, 2013 at 4:59 PM
WHAT ABOUT THE DROP? You can't have a drop on an omnimover. I guess going down a waterfall at 2 miles an hour might be thrilling from the effect of possibly falling out.
From 184.108.40.206 on February 23, 2013 at 7:05 PM
With the introduction of new attractions like SeaWorld Orlando's Antarctica and Hong Kong Disney's Mystic Manor utalizing the free roam ride system, I am surprised Disney is entertaining this antiquated idea. An unending chain of boats does not sound appealing to me. At least other rides utilizing the omni mover technology do a decent job distracting riders from the fact that the next ride vehicle is so close, but a chain of boats encourages my least favorite part of boat rides, the inevitable "log jam".

LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University has scheduled several exhibitions for the 2010-11 academic year.
Beginning Aug. 25, "An Academic Resource: Highlights from the Permanent Collection" may be viewed in the main gallery through Oct. 3.
The Highlights exhibition, organized by the Samek Art Gallery, presents a diverse array of fine works of art that serve as a resource to academic disciplines across the university.
Many works on view are recent acquisitions; others are from the collection but seldom exhibited before; others were part of temporary exhibitions from years past.
The Permanent Collection consists of more than 5,250 objects, from classical antiquity to works created in the 21st century.
Project Room installation
A second exhibition, "The Sleep of Reason: A Cautionary Tale," will be installed in the Project Room Aug. 25 through Oct. 3.
The installation by Deborah Cornell, with audio by Richard Cornell, suggests the dangers of the journey into the little-known territory of genetics, and the potential for changing the foundation of the natural world by the "unraveling" of DNA.
In the installation, a large, boat-like vessel filled with natural forms is surrounded by composite images and floating texts. The vessel is lit by a discomforting light, with audio gathered from field and studio recordings and filtered to reveal aspects beyond the natural scope of the human ear, including tree frogs and bats.
Deborah and Richard Cornell will participate in a conversation about the exhibition on Sunday, Sept. 12, at 1:30 p.m. in the Gallery Theatre of the Elaine Langone Center. The artist/curator talk and the exhibition are free and open to the public.
Other exhibitions include:
· Oct. 11 through Nov. 21: "Xiaoze Xie: Amplified Moments (1993-2008)." Curated by Dan Mills, this is the first major exhibition to include significant works from each of Xie's library and newspaper painting series. Born in China in 1966, and educated in China and the U.S., Xie is the Paul L. and Phyllis Wattis Professor in Art at Stanford University; he was with the Bucknell art faculty from 2000 to 2009. Xie will speak about his work on Thursday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. in the Gallery Theatre of the Elaine Langone Center.
· Dec. 1 through Dec. 7: "AIDS Memorial Quilt: The NAMES Project," organized by the NAMES Project Foundation, the Bucknell AIDS Committee and the Samek Art Gallery. The exhibition's opening ceremony will begin at noon on Wednesday, Dec. 1, with the continuous reading of names of those who have died of AIDS.
· Jan. 28 through March 30: "Deng Guoyuan and Rosalyn Richards: Works on Paper," main gallery.
· Jan. 28 through March 30: "Collection Focus III: In Chicago," project room.
· April 15 through May 3: "Annual Student Art Show."
The Samek Art Gallery is located on the third floor of the Elaine Langone Center, and is accessible by elevator. Admission is free. Gallery hours during the academic year are weekdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekends 1 to 5 p.m., and by appointment.

Don't be afraid to ask prospective vendors if they've lost customers—and why.
No matter how attractive an e-commerce site is, an inability to quickly fulfill orders can leave a retailer without much repeat business. So if an outside fulfillment provider is part of the game plan, choose wisely, fulfillment experts say.
If there's one lesson to learn when choosing a fulfillment services provider, covering warehousing and pick-pack-ship operations, it's not to make any assumptions regarding a vendor's capabilities and its record in serving other retailers, Bill Shea, general manager, Wine Country Gift Baskets, and Mike Murray, senior vice president, operations, ShopNBC, said at the Internet Retailer 2012 Conference & Exhibition in a session titled "10 questions to ask you fulfillment provider."
Retailers should ask to see evidence of such things as the accuracy of order fulfillment forecasts, and to view warehousing details such as the storage capacity, depth of SKUs that can be stored, and the operating efficiency of item picking and packing systems. "Do the math, and ask the operational folks, not the marketing folks," at the prospective provider, Murray urged.
It's also important to understand where the provider may have fallen short in services, and why, Shea said. Don't hesitate to ask a vendor, "Have you lost any customers—why?" Shea suggested. And get the answer from someone directly involved with the former customer, if not the former customer itself.

Measured 6-11 in shoes, with a 7-0 wingspan and a 263 pound frame -Strong frame allows him to carve out deep post position inside at will -Major presence on offensive glass -Possesses solid hands -Has a basic back to the basket game after sealing off his man -Capable of scoring with a right-handed jump-hook shot or simple duck-ins Weaknesses: -Not incredibly explosive -Struggles to finish around the basket in more complicated situations due to lack of elevation -Not incredibly skilled at this stage in terms of post moves, footwork or counters -Needs to improve left hand -Average free throw shooter -Average defender. Struggles to step out outside the paint. Does not possess great lateral quickness. Lacks the explosiveness to protect the paint as a help-side defender Outlook: Chiseled center who looks the part currently more than anything. Will have some adjustments to make defensively in college. Will need to continue to improve his skill-level and feel for the game, but at just 17 years old has plenty of time to do so.

Install help!
3 May 2009 at 12:23am
I just found this CMS after searching through the interwebs for a good one and this one looks really good, my website has its server run linux so i downloaded the linux install files and unzipped em with alzip and then sent them to my server with filezilla. Then i went onto my site and it just loaded a blank page :/ I can get onto the install by typing domain.com/install.php and that works but the index wont work and i want to get onto the index page :S So can anyone tell me why this is happening???
Anyway thanks in advance and to any experienced silverstripe users is this cms any good and worth the effort, i only want a simple site so im not bothered about weird things xD

Do you know if your hosting has mod rewrite?
what do you get if you try to access http://www.yoursite.com/sapphire/main.php?url=home

I have the exact same problem. My host doesn't allow me to turn on that mod_rewrite rule so I can"t use this otherwise excellent cms. I would say that for making this cms more accessible there should be a workaround for this. Should be possible.

mod_rewrite as of 2.3.1 is not required. For more information read the blog post - http://www.silverstripe.org/silverstripe-2-3-1-eases-installation-and-provides-protection-against-website-comment-spam/.
If you do not have mod_rewrite your URLs will look like website.com/index.php/about-us. See the changeset here - http://open.silverstripe.com/browser/phpinstaller/branches/2.3/index.php?rev=72495

Strange thing is that the installer will not continue as long as this mod_rewrite is not fixed. Couldn't the cms work with an .htaccess file? Sort of as a backup maybe.
