43 U.S. Code § 1751 - Grazing fees; feasibility study; contents; submission of report; annual distribution and use of range betterment funds; nature of distributions
prev | next
(a) The Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior shall jointly cause to be conducted a study to determine the value of grazing on the lands under their jurisdiction in the eleven Western States with a view to establishing a fee to be charged for domestic livestock grazing on such lands which is equitable to the United States and to the holders of grazing permits and leases on such lands. In making such study, the Secretaries shall take into consideration the costs of production normally associated with domestic livestock grazing in the eleven Western States, differences in forage values, and such other factors as may relate to the reasonableness of such fees. The Secretaries shall report the result of such study to the Congress not later than one year from and after October 21, 1976, together with recommendations to implement a reasonable grazing fee schedule based upon such study. If the report required herein has not been submitted to the Congress within one year after October 21, 1976, the grazing fee charge then in effect shall not be altered and shall remain the same until such report has been submitted to the Congress. Neither Secretary shall increase the grazing fee in the 1977 grazing year.
(1) Congress finds that a substantial amount of the Federal range lands is deteriorating in quality, and that installation of additional range improvements could arrest much of the continuing deterioration and could lead to substantial betterment of forage conditions with resulting benefits to wildlife, watershed protection, and livestock production. Congress therefore directs that 50 per centum or $10,000,000 per annum, whichever is greater of all moneys received by the United States as fees for grazing domestic livestock on public lands (other than from ceded Indian lands) under the Taylor Grazing Act (48 Stat. 1269; 43 U.S.C. 315 et seq.) and the Act of August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 874; 43 U.S.C. 1181d), and on lands in National Forests in the sixteen contiguous Western States under the provisions of this section shall be credited to a separate account in the Treasury, one-half of which is authorized to be appropriated and made available for use in the district, region, or national forest from which such moneys were derived, as the respective Secretary may direct after consultation with district, regional, or national forest user representatives, for the purpose of on-the-ground range rehabilitation, protection, and improvements on such lands, and the remaining one-half shall be used for on-the-ground range rehabilitation, protection, and improvements as the Secretary concerned directs. Any funds so appropriated shall be in addition to any other appropriations made to the respective Secretary for planning and administration of the range betterment program and for other range management. Such rehabilitation, protection, and improvements shall include all forms of range land betterment including, but not limited to, seeding and reseeding, fence construction, weed control, water development, and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement as the respective Secretary may direct after consultation with user representatives. The annual distribution and use of range betterment funds authorized by this paragraph shall not be considered a major Federal action requiring a detailed statement pursuant to section 4332 (c) [1] of title 42.
(2) All distributions of moneys made under subsection (b)(1) of this section shall be in addition to distributions made under section 10 of the Taylor Grazing Act [43 U.S.C. 315i] and shall not apply to distribution of moneys made under section 11 of that Act [43 U.S.C. 315j]. The remaining moneys received by the United States as fees for grazing domestic livestock on the public lands shall be deposited in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
[1] So in original. Probably means "4332(2)(C)".

Title: Banned in Boston
The phrase "Banned in Boston" came into widespread usage in the 1920s during a particularly active campaign to censure objectionable, offensive, and obscene works in the city sometimes called "The Cradle of Liberty." This proposed panel for the 2007 Meeting of the ALA will examine the politics of moral enforcement as played out in Boston over the centuries. What social, political, religious, and economic agendas are served through the practice of censorship? How does the goal of protecting the public measure against the values of artistic liberty and freedom of speech?
Possible themes for papers:
The banning of particular literary, dramatic, or cinematic works
Please submit one page abstracts with a brief CV to Nancy F. Sweet at California State University, Sacramento (nsweet_at_csus.edu). In your subject header, please type "ALA Proposal."

Big Poppa is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Big Poppa is a drug dealer and a member of the Los Santos Vagos. Some fans speculate that Big Poppa is the leader of the Los Santos Vagos, although there is no evidence to support this.
Events of GTA San Andreas
Big Poppa takes Madd Dogg's mansion in exchange for drugs. During the mission A Home in the Hills, Madd Dogg tells Carl Johnson and San Fierro Triad gang members about the events, saying that he was "powerless" against Big Poppa. Carl and the Triads assault and re-take the home. Carl then kills the fleeing Big Poppa.
- Like Little Weasel, Kane, and Freddy, Big Poppa does not have a unique character model, simply appearing with a generic Vagos model.
- Big Poppa is named after the the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G.'s song Big Poppa (1994). Ironically, Biggie Smalls was with a lyrical rap war with the West Coast because of 2Pac 3-4 years later from the game's timeline.

Iridex Corporation Stock Downgraded (IRIX)
TheStreet) -- Iridex Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- IRIX has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.22, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- 49.60% is the gross profit margin for IRIDEX CORP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -9.50% is in-line with the industry average.
- IRIX, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 3.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.6%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 313.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.35 million to -$0.75 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry and the overall market, IRIDEX CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

A wealthy industrialist (Robert Downey Jr.) builds an armored suit and uses it to defeat criminals and terrorists.
In our new reality series Mansion Hunters, Paul Kim and his team of Image Locations associates scour Los Angeles to find beautiful and exotic homes and mansions to serve as locations for movie shoots and weddings or simply as get-away pads for the rich and famous. It can't be easy for Kim and company, dealing with extremely demanding clients with very particular tastes, but the hardest part of their job has to be finding just the right location for a major movie. After all, what's a good scene without an equally compelling setting? The best locations in movies are often remembered as vividly as the actors who appeared in them, transcending beyond simple structures to become characters unto themselves. Mark your calendar or set an alert for July 9th to watch the premiere of Mansion Hunters and then check out our list of the Hollywood Movie Mansion we love the most.
The Sheats-Goldstein Residence
Designed by architect John Lautner, whose striking America Organic Architecture structures are frequently used in movies, the Sheats-Goldstein mansion was built into the hillside and evokes a cave. It famously featured as Jackie Treehorn's (Ben Gazzara) beach palace-that-porn-built in the classic comedy The Big Lebowski, starring Jeff Bridges as "the Dude." It has also appeared in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Bandits, among other movies.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Ennis House
Built in 1924, the Ennis House is designer Frank Lloyd Wright's fourth and largest textile block design home, constructed using interlocking concrete blocks inspired by symmetrical reliefs seen in ancient Mayan buildings in Uxmal. The Mayan Revival-style Ennis House first appeared on screen in 1959 in the original House on Haunted Hill and has been featured in dozens of movies, TV shows, commercials and music videos, but it's most widely recognized from an exterior shot in Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic. The interior structure and unique block designs were also recreated on a sound stage for principle scenes featuring Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard.
The Lovell House
One of the most important structures in modern architectural history, the Lovell House was designed and built by Richard Neutra in the International Style in 1927 for physician Philip Lovell. It is notable as the first steel frame house in the United States and for the use of gunite (spray-on concrete) in its construction. It appeared on film in the Oscar-winning movie L.A. Confidential as the home of Pierce Morehouse Patchett (David Strathairn), whose escort company Fleur-de-Lis provides "whatever you desire." It was also the residence of Oliver Fields (Ewan McGregor) and his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) in the 2010 comedy Beginners.
Summitridge Beverly Hills
This secluded 3-bedroom home north of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills is home to one of the most iconic crime movie characters of our generation, Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 masterpiece Pulp Fiction, yet there was apparently no mention made of this fact when the home was sold in 2010. Though the actual entryway is apparently not the one depicted in the movie, the interior scenes — Mia dancing to "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" and then accidentally overdosing on heroin, while Vincent Vega (John Travolta) talks to himself in the mirror — were actually filmed inside the home.
Pasadena Colonial
Though not as flashy or as exotic as other homes on our list, this Colonial Revival house in Pasadena is notable as the place where one of Hollywood's all-time power couples — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — met on the set of the 2005 action-comedy remake of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Both the interior and exterior of the house were featured prominently in the movie, which saw Jolie and Pitt playing a married pair of assassins hired to kill each other. The house is often confused for the one depicted in Father of the Bride (1991), which is also a Colonial Revival located a short distance away in Pasadena.
The Tony Stark Estate
The home, laboratory, gym, foundry, armor factory and refuge of eccentric billionaire superhero Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) would be at the very top of nearly every list about homes, mansions and estates…if only it were real. Unfortunately, all of the interior shots of Stark's super-casa are sets and the exterior shots are all CGI. Partially inspired by the "Razor Residence" in La Jolla designed by San Diego-based architect Wallace E. Cunningham, which is also made of glass, steel and white polished concrete, the real estate site Movoto estimates that Stark's estate would list for over $117 million if it was really on the market.

Todd Kelly was an All-SEC player for the Tennessee Vols and a first round NFL draft pick. So it stands to reason his offspring would have a better than average chance at being athletic.
His youngest, Todd Kelly Junior, has committed to follow his dad to Tennessee. That sets up a little conflict in the Kelly household starting with the fact TK has become better known than older sister Clarke.
"It's a lot different now that people are like, oh you're TK's sister," said Clarke Kelly, "instead of, oh you're Clarke. So, it's just, it's cool though and I'm very proud of him because ever since I can remember, he has been runnin' around in football pads. So now to think that he is going to be having on that Tennessee jersey just like my Dad is just an incredible feeling, and I'm very proud of him."
Clarke is proud of TK, but she'll be cheering for another team. She will begin her junior season as a cheerleader at Alabama this fall.
"And I've always wanted to be a college cheerleader and there's an all-girl program that's available at the University of Alabama," Clarke added. "And the program actually started in 2011 which was the year I graduated from high school so it was just a perfect opportunity."
During TK's recruitment, there was speculation he might roll with the Tide. Turns out, that speculation wasn't far off.
"It had a little bit to do with it just because we are so close," Todd Kelly, Junior, said. "She also did a little bit of recruiting, but at the same time she wanted me to be happy. She was happy when I made the decision to stay in town and go to Tennessee, but after they won that national championship, I was really considering it."
Tennessee fans and Alabama fans have a hard time getting along. TK and Clarke say the rivalry is all in fun for them.
"I mean, we are close as it is, so we aren't going to let colleges get in the way of our relationships," said Todd.
"In a weird way, the rivalry kind of ties us together because Tennessee and Alabama will never get along," Clarke added. "I think that because we are siblings, and you know, he is going to be there forever, and I just think that our rivalry will keep us intact because he is always going to be talking trash, and I'll be talking trash years down the road. And I say roll tide all the time and he said if I say Roll Tide one more time, he doesn't know what he is going to do."
"I tell her if she says Roll Tide one more time, I'm going to 'Butch slap' her, joked TK. "That's what Coach Jones told me to say, but you know, I call her out on Twitter just to let the Vol fans do it for me."
Clarke is studying Communications at Alabama and is home this summer, interning at WBIR. TK would love to see her be an ESPN reporter interviewing him about football.
"That'd be awesome. Maybe one day, she could be on ESPN and interviewing me on the sidelines like Erin Andrews or something like that. That'd be pretty cool. I'd have to throw in a Tennessee joke in there at her since she'll be graduating from Alabama."
In case you're curious, Clarke won't be cheering against her brother. Her squad only cheers at the Crimson Tide's home games.
"I did some research just to see what would happen and my freshman year, we are going to play them (Alabama) at home," said Todd. "She cheers at the home games, so she'll be able to come up there. I'm going to try and get her in some orange, and try and customize her a shirt that says TK on the back and 'Go Vols' or something like that just to see if she'll wear it.
"It doesn't matter if I get in trouble, I'm going to cheer for him because he's my brother," Clarke said. "I might not say go Vols, but I'll say go TK."

I just received my new Rivendell Rambouillet frame and I am thinking about building it up with Campy Ergo levers. I have always used a combination of Shimano and Sugino parts for my bike builds, so I am unfamiliar with a good long distance Campy set up.
My decision to go with the Campy shifters is simply aesthetics. I am not a big fan of Shimano's STI levers; although I know that they work flawlessly.
What campy components are you riding with? I am thinking about a triple up front and either 9 or 10 speed rear end. I live in the Pacific NW, so I will be climbing a lot of hills.
I would appreciate your feedback and any advice you might have.

Busted play turns golden for VCU
When his team arrived here at the Alamodome for Friday night's late Southwest Regional semifinal against Florida State, VCU coach Shaka Smart moseyed to press row.
There he watched a few minutes of Kansas' demolition of Richmond and sat next to Tom Yeager, commissioner of VCU's conference, the Colonial Athletic Association.
"Don't be nervous," Smart said to Yeager as he went to join his Rams in the locker room. "We're gonna win."
Nearly three hours later, with VCU trailing by one and 7.9 seconds remaining in overtime, Smart repeated the mantra to his players.
"We're gonna win."
A busted inbounds play and defensive stand later, the Rams proved their coach prophetic.
VCU 72, Florida State 71.
"Mayhem," Rams power forward Jamie Skeen said of the final seven-plus minutes of regulation and the OT. "Mayhem."
How 11th-seeded VCU (27-11) survived that mayhem to reach Sunday's final against top-seeded Kansas will be relived on Broad Street for years (decades?) to come.
The victory puts the Rams, a team many said didn't belong in the tournament, one step from the Final Four, one step from matching CAA colleague George Mason's 2006 run.
Here's how the last 7.9 seconds unfolded.
After FSU's Bernard James swatted Joey Rodriguez's layup out of bounds with 7.9 ticks left, VCU called timeout, and Smart set up the Rams' favorite underneath inbounds play. When the teams returned to the court, the Seminoles called time, and Smart noticed one of their assistant coaches telling players what the Rams would run.
"They had it scouted," Smart said. "It was a pretty easy decision to switch to something different."
"Coach was calm, confident, cool and aggressive," reserve guard Rob Brandenberg said of the final huddle. "He knew we were going to get a good look at it. He told us we were going to win the game."
The new play, named simply "11," called for Skeen and Brandon Rozzell to screen for one another. But they became entangled with FSU defenders, and Rozzell tripped.
Rodriguez was counting in his mind and knew the 5-second limit was about to elapse.
"I knew (we) didn't have any timeouts," he said. "I wasn't about to do a Chris Webber."
Rodriguez faked a long pass toward Brandenberg, and the motion caused FSU's Deividas Dulkys, guarding the pass, to flinch. That's when Bradford Burgess slipped wide open toward the basket, gathered Rodriguez's pass and layed the ball in with 7.1 seconds left for the last of his game-high 26 points.
"It was a mistake on me," FSU's Derwin Kitchen said. "I was guarding Burgess and I turned my head the wrong way, and he slipped. … I thought we had somebody under."
As he did at the end of regulation, when Kitchen failed to launch a shot in the waning seconds, FSU coach Leonard Hamilton disdained a timeout. Kitchen (team-high 23 points and 12 rebounds) raced upcourt, penetrated and kicked the ball back to Chris Singleton.
Seven inches shorter than the 6-foot-9 Singleton, Brandenberg blocked a shot that didn't appear to beat the clock anyway.
"I wasn't even thinking about a foul," Brandenberg said. "I had to get the block or do something to distract him. Singleton's a pro."
Atrocious game management by FSU (23-11), ecstasy for VCU.
"Wow," Rams reserve guard Darius Theus said, "just wow."
"Tonight was the first game in the NCAA tournament, out of four for us, where we faced a significant amount of adversity," Smart said. "So I was really proud of the way our guys battled and hung in there."
The Rams' adversity started when they led 62-53 with 7:37 remaining. Burgess was burying threes, Rozzell had shoehorned 14 of his 16 points into about five minutes, and VCU was dissecting the nation's No. 1 field-goal percentage defense (36.0).
But the Rams scored only three more points in regulation. They missed 5-of-6 free throws and committed two shot-clock turnovers, and with 45 seconds left, Singleton's right-wing 3-pointer forged a 65-all tie.
In the OT, Burgess' sixth 3-pointer in seven attempts gave VCU a 68-67 lead, but after Rodriguez, an 80-percent free-throw shooter, clanged two, Singleton scored on a baseline drive to give the Seminoles a 71-70 lead and set up the final sequence.
VCU shot an outstanding 45.3 percent and survived FSU's 21 offensive rebounds. Rodriguez had 10 assists and three steals, and reserves contributed 30 points and 12 rebounds.
But the story was Burgess, a junior from Richmond who matched his season-high in points, and who, in the last three games, has made 11-of-15 threes. This against defensive-minded opponents Georgetown, Purdue and Florida State.
"The scary thing is," Smart said, "I think the best is yet to come for Brad."
Now VCU heads to its first regional final. Is the best, still, yet to come?

Boca Raton Museum of Art501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, FL 33432 In Mizner ParkT: 561.392.2500 F: 561.391.6410Email: email@example.com
Hours:Tues, Wed & FriThursSaturday & SundayMondays & holidays
Admission:MembersChildren(12 & under)AdultsSeniors(65 +)Students(with ID)
The Boca Raton Museum of Art takes its role as a cultural institution quite seriously. We believe we provide an important service to the community and wish to uphold the values and traditions that the Museum has held since the first seeds for the BRMA were planted in the late 1940s.
But we also understand the importance of adapting to change. The Internet is clearly the dominant force in communication and the Museum has embraced new developments in online resources.
The talk of the day concerns the proliferation of social networking sites, like Twitter and Facebook. When used as a communications tool, these sites enable people and institutions to interact in new and meaningful ways. Nonprofits are discovering - in droves - the advantages of being a part of the online community.
The Museum recently joined Twitter and has increased its presence on Facebook. The two resources allow us to give quick, informative updates to our Membership and to the local (and global) community. It also helps us to keep up on current events at other cultural institutions, arts funding news and significant changes in the art world.
Perspectives pushes this evolution in communication one step further. An active blog, with frequent posts and a lively comments section is a conduit for two-way information. It opens up the dialogue between the institution (The Museum) and art lovers from throughout the world, allowing the two to interact in a way that might not be possible in the "real" world.
As such, we strongly encourage you to read this blog and comment on what you see. If you come across a news story that you think would be an interesting topic to explore, please send it to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Though we wholeheartedly encourage open discussion, we have the utmost respect for our audience and intend to keep the blog as focused on meaningful communication. As such, profanity, "spamming" and personal attacks will have no place at Perspectives.
We look forward to telling you more about the Museum and hearing what you have to say.

By the numbers, 2012 looked like a pretty good year for lobstermen. They landed their largest catch ever, more than a hundred million pounds of lobster, worth over $330 million. But despite the huge haul, the industry has a basic economics problem. Warmer water in the Gulf of Maine is causing lobsters to shed earlier than normal, millions of pounds are flooding the market ahead of schedule and boat prices are hovering near record lows. Scientists expect this trend to continue, so state officials are meeting with lobstermen up and down the coast to talk about proposals to change how the fishery is managed.
Friendship, at the southern tip of Knox County, has one of those old community centers that look like it hasn't changed in decades. On Monday afternoon, lobstermen took seats on the floor of the main hall, a ramshackle basketball court hastily imposed over a linoleum floor. The Department of Marine Resources is holding 16 of these meetings over the next month, as it considers changes to the state's lobster licensing system and other strategies for boosting boat prices, while sustainably managing the fishery to ensure its future survival.
"All right, welcome. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Pat Keliher. I'm the commissioner at DMR. I'm gonna go through a little slide show here and we're gonna talk about long-term and short-term issues that are facing this industry."
Both sets of problems, Keliher tells the lobstermen, have to do with warmer water. Last summer, the early shed meant lobstermen hauled in five million pounds of product during the last two weeks of June and the first two weeks of July. Blockades of Canadian processing plants prevented Maine wholesalers from moving lobster off the suddenly saturated market. Boat prices fell, in some cases below $2 per pound.
"We had a 123 million pounds this year," Keliher said. "That's 18 million more pounds than last year. And that value was 3.7 million dollars less than last year. That ought to shock the hell out of all of you."
Since 2005, the amount of lobster landed in Maine has gone up by 53 million pounds, but the value of the catch has only increased by $13 million. But Keliher and other state officials aren't just worried about the short term economics. A recent report by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute finds that state's existing lobster licensing system would threaten efforts to protect the fishery, if the overall lobster stock started to decline due to rising water temperatures or an unanticipated, biological event.
"If this is the new normal then we need to adapt to it from a management perspective."
Keliher says one proposal, to protect the fishery's long term health, would be to change the state licensing system. Right now, many lobstermen in Maine have licenses to use more traps than they're actually setting in the water. If all of these so-called "latent traps" came online, the fishery would not be able to support them. The state is considering moving to a three-tiered licensing system. Lobstermen with no landings over the past four years would have their total traps cut to fifty. Those hauling less than 5,700 pounds would get 400 traps. Everyone above that level would get 800 traps. But the idea isn't setting well with some fishermen.
"Don't like this whole tier process," said Phillip Bramhall.
He's been lobstering off Friendship since high school, he told Keliher that the new system seemed designed to punish people.
"Saying you've got to catch 5,700 pounds to go to 800 tags," said Bramhall. "Might take a guy, might not be able to fish as hard might need the 800 traps to catch his 5,700 pounds."
On the shorter term price problem, marine resources officials are proposing limiting lobstermen to three days a week on the water, during peak summer periods where the market is saturated. Lobstermen in the audience seemed a bit more amenable to this idea. Richard Nelson said he worries that there's little Maine can do to prevent the kinds of changes that have decimated the lobster fishing off Cape Cod.
"They have serious troubles and that can happen much quicker than we'd like to think it can," said Nelson.

Energy is a liquid substance found in the Game Grid and the Tron system, used as a fuel for vehicles and as a vital nourishment for all programs. Energy acts and behaves like water and food from the real world, and is essential to programs just like food and drink are essential to us in the real world. If a program does not have enough energy, he or she may derez.
Digitized users can also consume energy and use it to help restore broken vehicles or even save a life of a program by transferring the energy to a person or object. While in cyberspace for the first time, Kevin Flynn transferred his energy to restore power to a formerly broken recognizer. When Ram noticed this he claimed that such a function was impossible for a program to do. Flynn also saved Yori's life by transferring some his energy to her before she derezzed.
Energy is usually found in rural parts of cyberspace, especially in caves and canyons. Flynn's first encounter with energy was in a cave, shortly after escaping the game grid with Ram and Tron. When Flynn asked what it was, Ram replied "Just what I need, right now". Flynn noticed that when Tron and Ram were drinking the liquid, their circuitry glowed brightly, denoting that they were regaining energy.
Refined energy is sold at locations including the End of Line Club, sometimes as energy drinks. Whether it's more potent or possibly flavored remains unknown. In TRON 2.0, energy patch routines make an appearance. A player can walk up to the patch routine and activate it to download energy. There are two types of energy patch routines: green patch routines give a limited amount of energy (usually about 100 points of energy), whereas light blue patch routines give an unlimited amount of energy. Because light blue patches are less common, they are harder to find than light green energy patches. In TRON 2.0 there are also some energy pools which give unlimited energy, but slowly than a patch routine.
The Destitute Program in TRON: Legacy appears to be drinking energy.
Energy in TRON 2.0 does a few extra things: it allows the player to fire any weapon other than the Identity Disc; downloads permission, subroutines, or e-mails; or activates some doors and switches. The player's maximum allowed energy may be increased by going up a version number.
In TRON: Evolution, Anon can regain health energy by running across Energy Transfer Conduits (ETCs), glowing strips that are on walls. He can obtain energy for special attacks by vaulting across energy pods and consoles.
In Space Paranoids, yellow energy patches are used to recharge tank ammunition.

This page covers all trailers released for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V.
Trailer #1
The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V was released on November 2, 2011. The song used in the trailer was "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" by Small Faces.
"Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.
Or the... Ah I don't know, that thing. That magic.
You see it in the movies.
I wanted to retire. From what I was doing, you know?
From that, that... line of work. Be a good guy for once, a family man.
So, I bought a big house. Came here, put my feet up, and thought I'd be a dad like all the other dads.
My kids, would be like the kids on TV.
We could play ball and sit in the sun.
But well, you know how it is."

Lamar: You soundin' more and more like a snitch everyday.
Franklin: I sound like somebody trying to make some paper and not get killed.
Lamar: Oh, my bad, "Mr. Goldcard".
Lamar: Hah! Gangsta' shit!
Unknown Gang Member: You ain't got no respect!
Franklin: I got respect for reality!
Unknown Gang Member (off screen): Enjoy them hoes homie!

Trevor's Trailer
Floyd (off screen): I ever tell you about Trevor?
Trevor: *Wolf howl*
Floyd (off screen): Major drug dealer, real hill-billy type shit.
Trevor: Bring me my coffee or I'm gonna cut your arm off!
Trevor: Back in town baby! Yeah!
Floyd: Please, just go and ruin somebody else's home furnishings.

Official Gameplay Video
Narrator: With Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar have tried to reimagine the world open game in a number of ways. The game world is beautiful, massive, and diverse. A sprawling, satirical reimagining of modern Southern California. Covering mountains and oceans, expensive stores, and shoppings. Urban decay, and untouched wilderness. Beachs and backwoods. The sublime and the ridiculous. Greed, and hypocrisy.
Simeon Yetarian: You tell me exactly what you want, and I will very carefully explain to you why it can not be.
Franklin: What?
Franklin: So what we doin' here?
Trevor: We're working, amigo.
Narrator: For the first time, the game features not one, but three would-be heroes.
Trevor: So now what?
Narrator: Michael, a once successful bank robber, and now less successful family man.
Tracy (off-screen): Jimmy called me a bitch!
Jimmy: You know, you're a real asshole.
Michael: What did you just say to me?!
Amanda: Stop it! You're ruinning my yoga!
Narrator: Franklin, a hungry street hustler convinced he's surrounded by morons.
Franklin: You can't repo the assets of a dead man! Bitch sittin' cheap asshole!
Narrator: And then there's Trevor. The less said about him, the better.
Narrator: Introducing three lead characters, transforms both the narrative into one interwoven story and the structure of indvidual missions. Players can cut between vantage points-
Michael: Yeah I could use a little backup here.
Narrator: And from one high octane moment to the other.
Franklin: I got you.
Michael: Get us outta' here!
Trevor: Roger that!
Narrator: This helps to give missions get new levels of diversity and intensity.
Franklin: (smelling marijuana) Damn!
Narrator: When not on a mission, the use of three lead characters also allow for a touch of voyeurism. As you can drop in at any moment and find out what your new friends have been up to as they go about their days.
Jimmy: Jeez pop, too much more of that and maybe I won't be dead by 35!
Trevor: Hey officer, give it up, this is getting way outta' hand!
Narrator: The world is not only huge, it's packed with a vast erray of things to see and do; cars to customize, planes to fly, clothes to buy, sports to play, nirvanas to pursue, oceans to dive, animals to spot, hunt, or be hunted by, freaks to watch, meet and befriend, bounties to hunt, and on and on.
Unknown Woman: How have you been?
Trevor: Oh, simply wonderful, and you?
Unknown Woman: Somewhere stuck between joyful and peachy.
Narrator: There's also been a huge focus on mechanics in the game, to make every aspect as fun and fluid as it is broad. Everything from driving and shooting, to tennis and bike riding feels fun and responsive. However, alongside all of this leisure, people also have to take care of business. For all their pretensions, these men are dangerous thieves.
Michael: So it's a industrial area, right? So I'm thinking vehicles.. trash truck to block, tow truck to sack it.
Narrator: To survive, they have to setup and pull off a series of increasingly audacious heists.
Unnamed Guy: Gentlemen, some plans for your attention.
Narrator: The player sets these up for themselves and decides how to execute them and with whom.
Unnamed Guy: There's two ways I see of doing this, we go in smart.. or we go in loud and dumb.
Michael: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your moment, please don't make me ruin all the great work your plastic surgeons have been doing.
Narrator: After the take is divided, you decide what to spend your money on. Anything from sensible investments, like tattoos and fast cars, to risky ventures like stocks or Los Santos real estate. And then there's Grand Theft Auto Online, which we will show you properly soon.

The following is the first paragraph of the Introductory chapter: What is Fictional Cartography of the the 25 Quick & Dirty Map Tutorials Guide scheduled for release in August 2014, by me.
Cartography is the art and science of visually depicting the world around us in graphic format as maps. It is an ancient activity with examples as old as civilization itself, though a more contiguous history can be followed over the last 2000 years. Cartography uses mathematics, measurements and symbolic representations of landforms to represent our world in two dimensional format as one or more printed sheets or displays on our electronic devices. While cartography is very much a science, this guide focuses on the art of cartography to a greater degree, and the techniques used to depict aesthetically pleasing results that help players imagine the fictional worlds they explore in the course of a game or other work of fiction. Creating maps for the purpose of depicting fictional places is the realm of fictional cartography and the focus of this guide.
I think it close to the descriptions in RobA's post.

BW047: Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!
this wiki
While heading to Nimbasa City, Ash and co are going to get dinner ready while Meowth gets some wood. As Meowth gathers all the firewood they need, he encounter and meet a Beheeyem which it was willing to help him bring some wood to Ash and co. as Meowth takes it over to them to introduce. Later that night, they come across a luxury hotel out in the woods, but is there more to it than meets the eye?
The gang is about to have dinner. Cilan goes to cook, while Meowth goes to get some wood. Meanwhile, a man spots them and sends a Pokemon, ordering it to do its job. Meowth picks some wood, while he spots a strange Pokemon with a lot of wood, who gives to Meowth, befriending him. The gang sees the Pokemon - it is an Beheeyem. Beheeyem gives them the wood, enough for Cilan to begin cooking.
Cilan, however, has some berries, but they aren't the one he wished for, so wishes them. Beheyeem raises its hand and a sparkle is made, so now Cilan has the berries he wished. Cilan is amazed by that, so begins cooking. The gang begins to eat - Ash and Iris think the food is quite chilly, but Cilan does not have its tongue burning. Meowth tells them Beheeyem can do everything they wanted. They have no wishes, much to the displeasure of the man watching them. However, Cilan knows that the next wish is practically impossible to be made real, but wishes a hotel room with a soft bed. Beheyeem goes away and the gang follows it.
Beheeyem raises its hand and a sparkle is made. Soon, the gang sees a giant hotel! Iris feels stranger, as she knows that the hotel was not here when they were passing by. As they enter the hotel, they see no staff inside, so venture into a room. Everyone is dazzled - it is the same one from Cilan's wish. Everyone gets on the bed and soon they fall asleep. Not much after, a person with a Pokemon go out of a portal and crash inside.
Everyone is awake, so they apologise for not asking the staff, even if they did not see anyone. The person is Officer Jenny and the Pokemon Duosion. They are investigating - someone used a Psychic Pokemon for their own needs. She asks them if anything is missing, so Ash, Iris and Cilan check - Meowth, Pikachu, Axew, even their Pokeballs are gone! They get out and see Beheyeem going away with the Pokemon, so they go after it. However, Beheyeem creates some iron bars, stopping them. A man, who introduces himself as Leon "the Dream Thief", enters and goes away with Beheyeem, along with their Pokeballs.
Jenny tells them that they are in a dream created by Beheyeem. As long as they are in the dream, they are not free. To escape, everyone must be awake and a Psychic attack must be used on the exit mark to leave. Iris spots one, so Duosion uses Psiwave to touch the sign and everyone is seen outside. Unusually, they spot *two* moons. They see Leon and Beheyeem going away, so Jenny goes to battle him. Duosion uses Psishock, then Flash Cannon. However, Beheyeem is unhurt and uses Energy Ball. Duosion protects itself, but the protection is negated and Duosion is defeated.
The gang is left in a difficult position. However, Ash, Cilan and Iris yell to the Pokemon to wake up. Pikachu and Axew wake up, but Meowth is still sleeping. Pikachu attacks him with Thunderbolt to wake him up and they are untied. Iris spots an exit sign, so Duosion uses Psywave to wake everyone up. Next, they are seen to be in the same location, but there are more moons and Leon (with Beheyeem) is seen going out of an UFO. Ash thinks he is an alien, but Iris tells him it is a nonsense. They spiot Meowth sleeping, so Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to wake him up. Iris spots the next exit mark and Duosion uses Psiwave to get them out.
They find themselves (again) in the same location, this time with more moons. Beheyeem rises up as a gaint, so the gang runs away. They see Meowth sleeping on a moon, so Pikachu attacks him with Thunder and Axew with Dragon Rage to wake him up. Meowth wakes up and Duosion uses Psywave to get them out. They are in the same location, this time there is one moon only, so they all must be awake. Leon attempts to go away, but everyone notices him. Beheyeem attempts to use Energy Ball, so Pikachu uses Electro Ball on Beheyeem. Beheyeem is defeated, so Leon calls it back and runs away.
Meowth intercepts him. Leon offers him to work with him, but Meowth replies by using Fury Swipe, leaving him in underpants, as he did not have his beauty sleep. Jenny arrests him and everyone gets their Pokeballs back. Jenny waves goodbye, as she goes to the police station. Meanwhile, two men whowork in Nimbasa Underground, check the train map. One of them, named Ingo, tells the other, named Emmet, that he sees another train going, which is unusual, as there shouldn't be a train there. What is worse, the dot on the map disappears, leaving Emmet and Ingo confused, so they need to go discover what is the source of this event...

The government has been urged to empower economically people living near game reserves in order to protect them from engaging in illegal ivory trade.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam yesterday an environmentalist, Sudi Kilasara, said the government has done little in supporting some areas, resulting in the people to engage in illegal ivory trade.
Giving an example, he said illegal trade has been conducted in Mloka village, Rufiji district, in Coast region, which is near Selous game reserve because the government did not provide enough support to the people.
"I have been visiting Mloka for a number of years. The village does not have enough water, health facilities or schools, hence its economy is low compared to other villages," he said.
He noted that lack of economic activities has forced people to engage in illegal ivory trade with some agents.
"If the government wants to reduce such acts it should introduce income-generating activities for the people," he said.
He said elephant poaching threatens Tanzania's economy, which is annually earning millions of dollars from tourist activities.
Kilasara also urged the judiciary to take stern measure against people caught with illegal ivory. He said many cases involving illegal ivory dealers take long to complete and the culprits are fined very little or jailed for very short periods.
For his part, animal advocacy stakeholder Martin Kizamali said if the government will delay in taking stern measures against elephant poaching it might tarnish the international image of the country.
He said in the year 2010 the government was barred from selling ivory stocks due to its failure to protect elephants.
A Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meeting banned Tanzania from selling its ivory to the Far East because it did not contain illegal ivory trade.
The US-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) in the year 2010 visited Tanzania and Zambia and returned with harrowing first-hand evidence documenting a flourishing trade in illegal ivory in both countries.

Pavel Chekov (alternate reality)
this wiki
(split 2233)
Pavel Andreievich Chekov was a child prodigy and a Starfleet ensign for the Federation, assigned as a navigator to the USS Enterprise in 2258, at the age of 17. In addition, he was able to calculate the coordinates for beaming much faster than the computer, allowing him to personally beam Kirk and Sulu back aboard the Enterprise before they fell into the singularity, when the computer couldn't even lock on to them.
Originating from Russia, he spoke with a heavy Eastern European accent, which caused a problem when he had to voice input his authorization code "9-5-Victor-Victor-2". (His accent meant he had trouble correctly pronouncing Vs, which sounded like W's when he spoke them, hence "9-5-Wiktor-Wiktor-2.")
Chekov displayed great intellectual brilliance when he was able to transport James T. Kirk and Hikaru Sulu back to the Enterprise as they were falling to Vulcan. Sadly, he did not have enough time to use the same technique to save Amanda Grayson, Spock's mother.
After the destruction of Vulcan, Chekov devised a way to beam Kirk and Commander Spock to the Narada, without Nero noticing the Enterprise being near his ship. Chekov's plan had the Enterprise drop out of warp near Titan, one of Saturn's moons, which hid the Enterprise from being detected, then had Montgomery Scott beam the two to the Narada. Chekov's plan was ultimately instrumental in saving Earth. After Earth was saved, Chekov served again as navigator under newly promoted Captain James T. Kirk and left with the crew to explore space. (Star Trek)

Proctor, MN
It was night number three for the Proctor Speedway as the 2014 season
has finally gotten under way as we head for the first day of summer. A total
of 73 cars were in action. Preliminary qualifying heats set the feature lineups.
There were three heats in the Midwest Modified division with Mack Estey,
Mark Kangas and Deven VanHouse posting wins. Single heats for the Super
Stocks and Late Models were won by Scott Lawrence and Tim McMann
respectively while Dustin Follett and Austin Blom took the Pure Stock heats.
With heat action complete and after the Kid's Bike Races the Midwest
Modified 20 lap feature moved into starting position. The first attempt at a
start did not go well as John Kallas and Andy Inman tangled in the first turn
causing several cars to pile up behind them. The crash eliminated Justin
Madsen and Mack Estey. Kallas was tagged with the incident. The second try
at a start went better and Mark Kangas rolled into the lead. Cody Carlson,
Deven VanHouse, Inman and Danny Vang followed. Vang vaulted to third
and the top four pulled out a lead on Dan Kingsley who had moved into the
top five. Vang, who runs very well at Proctor was on the charge and soon ran
second. He closed on Kangas and moved past to the point at the half way
mark. Vang was the leader over Kangas, VanHouse, Carlson and Kingsley in
the top five. Bill Matzdorf, Jake Gondik, Inman, Kallas and Tyler Luger ran
in the top ten. Vang was in control and drove off into the distance as
VanHouse took second from Kangas. A pitched battle took place behind the
leaders and Gondik won that one holding off Matzdorf for sixth. Kallas,

While the European Commission has been given an opportunity to revise the European Union (EU)'s biofuels targets for 2012, a new Action Aid report reveals that EU continues to ignore its biofuels policies, thus fuelling global food prices and pushing people in poor countries off their land.
The report, 'Fuel for thought,' points out that increased demand for biofuels may push global food prices to crisis levels while EU's biofuel policies alone could push up oilseed prices by up to 33 per cent, maize by up to 22 per cent, sugar by up to 21 per cent and wheat by up to 10 pe rcent between now and 2020.
Laura Sullivan, ActionAid's head of European Advocacy urges that "If it continues to ignore the impacts of its biofuels policy on people living in some of the poorest parts of the planet, the EU will effectively be sponsoring hunger and human rights abuses on a massive scale".
With an estimated 13-19 million hectares of land outside Europe needed to meet the EU-wide targets, forced displacements of poor people from their land are set to increase, to grow fuel for the European market.
The ActionAid report, launched at a biofuels debate with participants from the European Commission, United Nations, NGOs and business, shows how a series of dodgy deals by European companies have led to mass displacements and rights abuses in countries in Africa and Latin America.
Eleven villages in Tanzania were affected when a British company seized 8,200 hectares of land to grow fuel for the European market. In Guatemala – a country that the EU labels as being a significant supplier of biofuels for the European market – the grabbing of land for sugar production has resulted in violent clashes and 3 deaths.
Sullivan said however that "Europe must start opening its eyes to the damage that its renewable energy policies are doing in poor countries – and has a chance to change them this year.
"Instead of pumping money into this fool's gold, the EU needs to drop its targets and subsidies, and invest the money in truly sustainable alternatives, that support local farmers to produce food not fuel".
The Renewable Energy Directive requires the European Commission to report this year on the social impacts of its renewable targets for transport – the vast majority of which will be filled by first generation industrial biofuels – and to propose 'corrective action' where relevant.
ActionAid calls on the European Commission to investigate the full impacts of the EU's biofuels policies on human rights in its 2012 review and to drop its 10percent target for renewable energy in transport by 2020 – 88 per cent of which will come from first-generation biofuels.

- "Rhaenys rode Meraxes."
- ―Arya Stark
Rhaenys Targaryen is an unseen character mentioned in the second season. She lived and died centuries before the events of the series, and is not expected to appear. She was the sister and wife of Aegon the Conqueror and helped him in his invasion and conquest of Westeros three centuries before the events of the series. She was one of the first Queens of the Seven Kingdoms.
Prince Rhaegar Targaryen named his daughter in her honor.
BackgroundRhaenys was the sister of Aegon and Visenya, and was born on Dragonstone, the Targaryen stronghold in the Narrow Sea. Following Valyrian custom, she and Visenya both married Aegon. All three rode dragons, with Rhaenys the dragon known as Meraxes.
During the War of Conquest she rode her dragon at the Field of Fire, where the Targaryens destroyed the largest army ever fielded against their troops and broke the back of resistance to their rule in Westeros.[1]
Season 2
Arya Stark, whilst posing as a common serving girl in Lannister-occupied Harrenhal, discusses the razing of the castle with Lord Tywin Lannister. She mentions Rhaenys and her dragon, but admits that Visenya was more of a hero of hers.[1]
In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Rhaenys is said to have been the gentler, more playful and less serious of Aegon's sisters. Whilst she rode her dragon in battle, she was not a warrior in the same way her brother and sister were, and unlike them did not possess a Valyrian steel sword.
She bore Aegon one son, Aenys, who later become the second King on the Iron Throne. After Aegon's death. Aenys was followed by Maegor the Cruel, but after his death Aenys's son, Jaehaerys inherited the throne. This means that all later members of House Targaryen, including Daenerys, are descended from Rhaenys.
In The World of Ice and Fire it is revealed that Aegon loved Rhaenys the most out of his sisters, spending ten nights with her for every one that he spent with Visenya. However, whilst Rhaenys was indeed the gentler of the two sisters, she was still a fierce warrior in her own right. She became a dragon-rider at a very young age and during the War of Conquest provided support for Orys Baratheon's assault on Storm's End. She also led the aborted invasion of Dorne, confronting the ancient Princess of Dorne in Sunspear and failing to cow her.

The 1970s was another influential decade for the music industry. Various types of music made their way to the forefront and changed the way artists approached their work from then on. What we now consider classic rock was regarded as progressive rock at the time - this includes bands such as Pink Floyd and Rush. We also saw the rise of hard rock and heavy metal with bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, and AC/DC. And of course, the introduction of punk rock featured bands such as The Ramones, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols. We guess it is important to mention the (regrettable) rise of funk and disco music, which includes artists like the Bee Gees, ABBA, and KC and the Sunshine Band.
We have 1970s-themed items for the entire family, featuring outfits for women, men, teens, boys, girls, and even infants and toddlers. Our groovy collection of costumes includes a variety of disco jumpsuits and outfits, and we also have great 70s accessories such as afro wigs, Aviator sunglasses, jewelry, and yes - mustaches.
