Overview of the European energy system Energy flows in European Union The Sankey diagram (Fig.1) shows the energy conversion from primary energy (coal, oil, natural gas, etc) to secondary energy commodities such as heat, electricity and manufactured fuels, through transformation plants (power stations, district heating, CHPs, oil refineries and other transformation plants) and the associated conversion losses. The right hand side of the diagram shows the final mix of energy consumption by different EU27 energy users (including: industry, transport, domestic, other final consumers and non-energy use). Note that renewables in transport for ENER 36 include all biofuels whether sustainable or not. Only a proportion of the primary energy entering the energy system of a country flows through to the end user for consumption. There are various diversions and losses incurred before energy reaches the final consumer due to distribution losses and use in the energy sector. The Sankey diagram is useful in capturing the situation in a certain year but other indicators are needed to show the change in energy use over time. Energy efficiency of conventional thermal electricity and heat production Output from conventional thermal stations consists of gross electricity generation and also of any heat sold to third parties (combined heat and power plants) by conventional thermal public utility power stations as well as autoproducer thermal power stations. The energy efficiency of conventional thermal electricity production (which includes both public plants and autoproducers) is defined as the ratio of electricity and heat production to the energy input as a fuel. Fuels include solid fuels (i.e. coal, lignite and equivalents, oil and other liquid hydrocarbons, gas, thermal renewables (industrial and municipal waste, wood waste, biogas and geothermal energy) and other non-renewable waste. Units: Fuel input and electrical and heat output are measured in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Efficiency is measured as the ratio of fuel output to input (%) Energy losses in transformation and distribution Numerator: Share of energy losses is the sum of own consumption of the energy industry, distribution losses and transformation losses (difference between transformation input and output). Denominator: Numerator plus final energy available for final consumption in primary energy. EU-27 Share of primary energy by fuel type and, share of final energy consumption by sector Total energy consumption or gross inland energy consumption represents the quantity of energy necessary to satisfy the inland consumption of a country. It is calculated as the sum of the gross inland consumption of energy from solid fuels, oil, gas, nuclear and renewable sources, and a small component of 'other' sources (industrial waste and net imports of electricity). The relative contribution of a specific fuel is measured by the ratio between the energy consumption originating from that specific fuel and the total gross inland energy consumption calculated for a calendar year (Fig.2). Units: Energy consumption is measured in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). The share of each fuel in total energy consumption is presented in the form of a percentage. EU27 net energy imports of solid fuels, oil, and gas from outside the EU27 was calculated as follows: total imports by fuel minus the sum of imports by fuel from other EU Member States minus total exports (Fig.1)
Progress on energy efficiency in Europe The ODEX index (Fig.1) measures the energy efficiency progress by main sector (industry, transport, households) and for the whole economy (all final consumers). For each sector, the index is calculated as a weighted average of sub-sectoral indices of energy efficiency progress; sub-sectors being industrial or service sector branches or end-uses for households or transport modes. The sub-sectoral indices are calculated from variations of unit energy consumption indicators, measured in physical units and selected so as to provide the best "proxy" of energy efficiency progress, from a policy evaluation viewpoint. The fact that indices are used enables to combine different units for a given sector, for instance for households kWh/appliance, koe/m2, tep/dwelling… The weight used to get the weighted aggregate is the share of each sub- sector in the total energy consumption of the sub –sectors considered in the calculation. A value of ODEX equal to 90 means a 10% energy efficiency gain. The variation of the specific consumption of space heating per dwelling linked to building standards is modelled as the change brought about by the introduction of new dwellings with a better insulation than the whole stock since a base year (e.g. 1990), assuming that the unit consumption of new dwellings is equal to the theoretical value implied by thermal regulations (Fig.2). This effect is calculated as follow: ∆UCnew t = (UCnew t * nbrlpn t + ∆UCnew t-1 * (nbrlpr t – nbrlpn t )) / nbrlpr t with: ∆UCnew t=0 = ∆UCnew t=1990 = UC t=1990 nbrlpr t : stock of dwellings at year t nbrlpn t : the volume of construction at year t UC t : unit consumption per dwelling for space heating at year t

UPDATE: Citi Downgrades Oracle On 'Modestly' Lower Fiscal 2015 EPS
In a note released Friday morning, Citi analyst Walter Pritchard downgraded shares of Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) from Buy to Neutral and lowered the price target from $44 to $41.
Pritchard noted that the downgrade and reduced price target were based on "modestly" lower fiscal-year 2015 EPS and margin expansion flattening over the long-term. Additionally, he mentioned that Oracle's revenue and EPS were below both Citi and street expectations.
Pritchard wrote, "Guidance was essentially in line with us and street and while we do not expect street numbers to move much, Oracle enters fiscal-year 15 with what looks like relatively aggressive Q1 targets and the stock becomes a 'show me'."
Shares of Oracle are trading down six percent to $39.96.

Doubting the government isn't yet cool again. An outrageous overreach is only a big deal if you think Republicans did it, so pipe down while professional bureaucratic planners baby-proof your surroundings.
Making the trivial criminal is a big deal, as nothing's as dangerous as the state inhibiting your right to self-defense for your safety. But at least one sheriff won't arrest people who have only been deemed to be in the wrong in terms of a reflexively histrionic, shamelessly misdirected exploitation of atrocity. He's daring to respect the right to own a firearm instead of punishing those who aren't harming anything except Andrew Cuomo's feelings:
One state lawmaker is calling out Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard for his comments on the SAFE Act, after Howard voiced concerns about the state's gun control laws this week. Howard said he has no plans to dedicate Sheriff's Office resources to enforce the new law.
There are about 75,000 pistol permit holders in Erie County. More than any other county in Western New York. Plus, there are thousands of other guns here without permits. So, when the sheriff says he's not going to enforce the SAFE Act – the toughest gun control law in the nation – that's a serious decision.
Gun control hasn't stopped crime, so we need more of it, duh. People who are doing nothing wrong wait to see if they're in trouble:
There's a showdown unfolding between Howard, a Republican, and (Assemblyman Sean) Ryan, a Democrat. It's all about the SAFE Act. Even though Sheriff Howard says he won't enforce Gov. Cuomo's signature gun law, sheriff deputies haven't received any word from Sheriff Howard not to follow the law.
Ryan is countering and demanding that Howard enforce the SAFE Act, which opponents say violates the constitutional right to bear arms.
Ryan presumably voted for a governor who has placed unbearable restrictions on guns while redefining marriage and continuing to spend a huge percentage of money residents earn. But no, Andrew Cuomo isn't the one whom he thinks is acting like His Majesty:
"As a top law enforcement official in Erie County, you're job is to enforce the laws, you don't have the liberty to pick and choose," Ryan said. "We elect a sheriff, we don't elect a king. Kings get to make their own laws, sheriffs get to follow laws as written."
Yes, and sheriffs should follow the bit of law that begins "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…" Thankfully, at least one county guardian doesn't view the sort of people who attempt to comply with onerous gun laws as real criminals. The only thing worse is pretending that shields against abusers are new as of this year:
Specifically, Ryan raises concerns about a key part of the law, which enhances protections for victims or survivors of domestic violence.
The law says that if a judge feels someone is in danger when an order of protection has been issued then the weapon needs to be turned in. If the weapon is not turned in, law enforcement officials would need to take the gun away.
Take away their steak knives and baseball bats, too. Or, the state could make it easier for potential victims to arm themselves instead of assuming someone who would violate an order of protection will also have nefarious intentions halted by gun laws. Unlike the governor, the sheriff admits he thinks ESP is a crock:
But Sheriff Howard says he would not do this, or follow any part of the law in Erie County. He has joined four other county sheriffs in signing his name to a friend-of-the-court brief seeking to overturn the Safe Act.
"If you know this is wrong, you can't enforce it, which is why I signed on, because the law should be as it's stated by anyone that did sign on did recognize it as being unconstitutional," said Howard.
The county has a Domestic Violence unit and Howard says that his commitment to the squad and the issue of domestic violence remains strong.
It's amazing that there were no laws against domestic violence before this, or rather that some apparently think there were none. But at least the law is being used to capture the most diabolical threats to our safety, namely law-abiding people who possess guns that are close to full:
A man has been charged under the New York State SAFE Act after troopers found he had a handgun in his car with the loaded magazine containing nine rounds of ammunition, rather than the limit of seven rounds.
New York plans to pursue order and justice by charging violators of a pathetically counterproductive law with felonies in order to get them to plea to misdemeanors. No matter the result, the defendants are being charged with knowing more about firearms than the governor.
A gun owner arrested for having the nerve to load a magazine almost to capacity could deny an unfair deal while junking the law through a righteous legal challenge. Albany won't even realize that they're the ones being taken to court.
The SAFE Act is action without safety. And it criminalized people who aren't criminals. Other than that, there's nothing to fear. The practical effect is making the decent as scared of the government as they are of criminals.
Every law enforcement agency makes decisions about what areas and offenses to prioritize. When the state classifies those who have done nothing wrong as miscreants, the reasonable course is to disregard those not-quite-hardened criminals in violation of baffling policies and instead attack real problems. When laws themselves are the violations, sheriffs who refuse to indulge in capricious authority are offering real protection.
Byron Brown doesn't like competition, as seen by what can only be seen as efforts to have as few retailers as possible vie for customers in the city where he's mayor. Buffalonians aren't supposed to discover the ability to take one's business elsewhere, as limiting choices to take it or leave it is to the ruling party's advantage.
But the erstwhile Johnny Law signed up for intramural competition before the varsity season begins. How dare he! Another Democrat has some nerve helping turn an election into a marketplace of ideas. It will be good for everyone who is not presently the mayor. Brown only offers one thought, namely that winning again would be good for him:
A Mayoral candidate has stepped up to the plate, giving Byron Brown some competition from his own party this Fall.
Former FBI Special Agent in charge, Bernard Tolbert announced his candidacy for Mayor of the City of Buffalo on Saturday.
He said, "I see a Buffalo that is appealing. It's an appealing place to live, work and raise a family. I see a Buffalo that builds upon its assets, rather than looking for silver bullet projects."
But who's to say taking the Metro Rail past the Central Terminal to Bass Pro or the medical campus won't turn Buffalo into an urban utopia? The city needs to create the circumstances that permit people to thrive, not assume thriving will be caused by a wand wave. The challenger additionally thinks having good things would be good:
Tolbert told a crowd of about 150 supporters his priorities include improving schools, job growth and neighborhood development — both economically, and in terms of safety. "We must make our streets a safe place where seniors and all others are not fearful of leaving their homes," he said.
Regarding the improvement of schools, Tolbert said, "It is heart wrenching for me now, to see the school system that helped me become who I am, failing our children. We must see every child in this city as if he or she were our own, and fight for real results."
In reply, the mayor hopes people read his words instead of looking around:
In a statement, Brown says he's "proud" of his administration's accomplishments and "great progress."
Another hopeful who's greatest strength is not being either the present mayor or a member of his party thinks the other side isn't doing anything worthwhile no matter who he faces in the general:
Republican challenger, Sergio Rodriguez, agrees the people of Buffalo want change, and said he's the man to deliver it.
Mayoral candidate Rodriguez said, "We're focused on the issues that matter most to people. I don't see much of a sharp contrast between the other two candidates, as opposed to my candidacy. So I think we bring something very different to the table."
There certainly hasn't been much difference between mayors who've all held the same affiliation. But Tolbert might be a less worse option than perversely rewarding Brown again with another four years out of the private sector. At the least, he could offer a law and order background to a city that could use some of both.
For now, Buffalo is both poor and dangerous, which is odd, as one might think thieves would have run out of things to steal by now. He needs to ditch the heart of gold and be the tough mayor who's always yelling at detectives:
A true humanitarian, Tolbert says he never arrested someone without feeling bad about it.
Well, at least he arrested people, although he should feel bad about the victims. Voters may enjoy the real alternative of considering Rodriguez, as trying a mayor with an (R) after his name would be fun just for the novelty of it. At the worst, Tolbert will make the woeful incumbent sweat doubly. It'd be the most productive thing Brown has done since gaining office.
The best way for a small-market team to compete is to make its market large. Every plea for corporate socialism by billionaire sports owners is made with the implication that success means dragging down those who are already successful. Take Buffalo, which was once a rather economically robust city with a population to match. Permanent decline isn't inevitable, except for any team whose roster is amassed by increasingly middling general manager Darcy Regier.
But there will be no upswings as long as they choose to carry sandbags. Just like New York State's attempt to tax citizens into prosperity has somehow not paid off, the Sabres seem intent on rewarding failure. If Terry Pegula ran his hockey team like he did his energy acquisition concern, he'd have generated as much as much energy as a solar-powered watch. The outage was most obviously seen in the wake-like atmosphere in the arena this season in a building that should be overwhelmingly electric.
The ruling billionaire and skating millionaires he employs should all be ashamed that the postseason press conference was the most entertaining portion of the season. Thank juvenile reporters who can't differentiate between being critical and confrontational. Buffalo News staffers acting like indignant jerks was the most unsurprising development since Drew Stafford's unwillingness to sweat. The news and opinion sections at the legendarily unfortunate rag are just as awful as the sports page in journalism's worst drive for consistency.
But the childish jousting distracted from the real issue, namely an exasperating hockey side asking fans to pay more to reward failure. Count on local print media to make the city's professional hockey executives look less like putzes by comparison.
The only thing that has gotten less satisfying results than the Sabres has been the league in which it plays. The salary cap was supposed to make teams with small natural fan bases competitive in an affordable manner; instead, it's helped made the team in question uncompetitive at great expense, which is especially cruel to fans who wish they could cash in promises.
Most outrageously, Sabres management claims they have to milk fans for even more in order to qualify for the benefits of revenue sharing. They just don't get enough of a share of income from attendees: the league mandates teams like the Rangers share what they've earned in what doesn't quite reflect the true spirit of sports.
Perhaps a penalty for managing to be financially successful is the Manhattan franchise's penance for actually benefiting from salary limitations that keep it from issuing ridiculous contracts to relatively underachieving players who then became impossible to trade. The Rangers horrifyingly benefit from the cap, unlike the team at the state's other corner.
But at least the Sabres will rack up Cups once the salary cap kicks in one of these seasons. In fact, the team has declined under conditions that allegedly level the playing field.
The club's most infamously memorable moment of the ceiling era was losing co-captains Chris Drury and Danny Briere on the same day to the small markets of, respectively, um, New York City and Philadelphia. The team somehow forgot to replace the duo, although in their defense it's only been six years. Rebuilds don't happen overnight, ingrates.
The Sabres are seemingly attempting to provide a comparison for Buffalonians who want an obvious metaphor for the area's unfulfilled promise. Residents who are also hockey fans must be doubly punished for their optimism.
The only thing more depressing than missing the playoffs seven of the last 11 seasons is how many times GM-for-life Regier used the word "suffering" to classify the immediate future. Rebuilding implies that there's a worthwhile structure being replaced. Instead of reassembling the debris of a ruined castle, the Sabres have grand plans for reconstituting the dirt pile.
Everyone cheering for the Sabres long asked for an owner who was a billionaire fan willing to spend, and we don't know how else to phrase the wish. Costs are up while results are down in what's as perverse as Tyler Myers suddenly playing as gawkily as one would assume he would upon first glance.
Parity is only an admirable result if it's earned, not handed to lowly teams through Harrison Bergeroning the game. With the cap in place, the franchise has no excuse for shamelessly demanding more from fans who only deserve to be ripped off by owning shirts whose lists of championships is obsolete. The league dragged down the affluent without benefiting the indigent. It's almost as a neatly perverse trick as Darcy keeping his job.
New York knows what it's doing, except for how it used its impossibly restrictive and senseless laws to take the wrong person's guns. With the new standard for proficiency, it's a wonder the state's economy is still on blocks in the yard. Albany is trying to eliminate good reasons to have protective firearms by ensuring there's nothing worth stealing.
The new era of preventing violence by harassing people who don't do anything wrong is off to a great start. A handwritten apology accompanied by a Tim Hortons gift card might not be enough to make up for one heck of a whoopsie by a state that's projecting when it acts like its citizens aren't to be trusted:
An Amherst man who had his guns taken away by the state is speaking out after the state admitted it made a mistake by suspending his pistol permit.
David Lewis is the man State Police deemed so mentally ill he was unfit to own a gun. They recommended to a state judge that the 34-year-old librarian's pistol permit be suspended and the judge signed the order.
New York has some nerve deciding who's fit with its legacy of buffoonery in mind. As usual, they're taking their time to respond to their own cloddish actions: the Dewey Decimal System specialist still hasn't been reunited with his .22s and .45s. The rightful owner provided an example of how the only people who obey laws are non-criminals:
Lewis turned his seven handguns in to Amherst Police. Lewis even got calls from State Police to make sure he gave up his guns that he uses for target practice.
Then State Police determined they had the wrong man. They were looking for a different David Lewis and now the judge has rescinded David's suspension, but he still doesn't have his guns.
Well, it's better for the government to confiscate them just in case. Sure, the incorrect target has no criminal history or inclinations, but he can't participate in felonies if Albany is holding his arsenal. In fact, they could end violence if they built a gun safe big enough for everyone, unless people used different weapons or acquired firearms illicitly. We better violate the right to keep medical histories confidential if we really care about our own good:
In our conversation with lawyer Jim Tresmond, we learned that this client, who has never had a problem with the law — no criminal record and or violent incidents on record — did have a temporary, short term health issue that required medication. But how were his client's private medical information accessed by the government? This appears to be a violation of HIPAA and Health Information Privacy policies at HHS.gov. If it is declared a violation, this becomes a civil rights issue.
So, which party is out of its mind? Trust the same state to keep you safe once they get their David Lewises straight and begin imposing arbitrarily counterproductive restrictions accurately.
They want to put this embarrassing violation behind them so they can get back to fighting crime by arresting people who load magazines a little too close to full. Sure, New York remains violent despite excessive gun control, if "despite" means "because of."
But at least someone who was never a threat was kept as such, because how could we be sure he wouldn't snapped by chance? We should all be seen as budding evildoers. Just assume the rulers are screwing up for your safety.
New York might not offer much in areas like jobs or hope. But you're in luck if you seek to reenact scenes from The Walking Dead or wish for a fenced-in place to escape and play foosball in peace. In that case, the state has what you want, although they'll stop pretending to care about you when it's property tax time.
Our government is auctioning correctional facilities at below-market price in a new contender for the most New York thing ever. More noteworthy is that they think there's a market at all. Selling some of its useful assets is shortsighted, but at least it won't help much in the present:
In May, New York state will try — for the second time — to sell 31 acres with 38 buildings including a gymnasium and a chapel, as well as on-site water and sewage-treatment systems.
Starting bid: $90,000, a relative steal compared to the previous price of $390,000.
The facilities sound like a camp's, and you could institute a no-wedgie rule if you want. You could own a place that's by definition remote for a bargain price. I just wonder if there's a catch:
The catch: It's a former prison, surrounded by rural land.
At 11 locations across the state, New York is trying to sell vacant prisons and juvenile-justice facilities that have closed over the past two years as part of budget cutbacks and consolidations.
The empty properties contain hundreds of vacant structures built upon thousands of vacant acres of land with sought-after amenities like central water and sewer systems and natural gas lines. But they also carry something of a stigma because of their former use.
Selling the compounds set aside for our wayward neighbors may be as myopic as trading insulin for candy money. Still, the fire jail sale is a way to get funds for the state, as they just don't get enough in massive taxes and petty fees:
Is anyone in the market for an old prison? The state is trying, but so far, there aren't many takers.
"(Empire State Development) is working with a number of other state agencies to find ways to save taxpayers money and transform costly, underutilized facilities into opportunities that will create jobs or better serve the community," said Cassie Harvey, a spokeswoman for Empire State Development, the state's economic-development arm. "Our efforts to redevelop these facilities are moving forward positively, with many in the process of sale or transfer."
The state finally cares about efficiency when it comes to having as few people pay for their crimes as possible. The real cost of shuttering what have become otherwise useless facilities comes in the unwillingness to hold people accountable for their transgressions:
At the same time, the prison population has declined precipitously over the past decade as the state has clawed back its tough drug laws and emphasized programs that transition low-risk prisoners to the streets sooner. Since 1999, the state's prison population has dropped from 71,600 to its current level of about 55,000 inmates.
Fewer people incarcerated is great unless it means more naughty people are on the street. New York's leaders know how to fight crime as well as they know how to get the economy humming. Their success at selling prisons gives them a chance to flaunt both skills. Albany could at least begin selling things it shouldn't own.
Letting resources go unused may make us broke, but nonchalance about criminals will cause greater damage than mere poverty. One of the state's legitimate roles is keeping those who have been convicted of being bad behind a vast fence. The desperation to sell pens is a sign that the state's leaders remain soft on crime. Meanwhile, they strive to punish people who have committed no other violation than owning a 10-round magazine just in case you thought they might know who the real villains are.
The best way to reduce the need for incarceration is to create a better economic situation where the effort involved in stealing isn't worth it. For now, the rest of the state feels like the inside of a prison. As they wonder why there's little demand for fortified enclosures, New York again shows that it doesn't behave well enough to deserve parole.
New York is in first place for protecting its citizens from the burdens of making too much money or having too many decisions to make. Having to think about ways to get ahead is the sad fate of those poor souls who face the horror of excessive freedom. It's a relief to sit home waiting for a pittance instead of going out into that spooky world seeking the vagaries connected to opportunity.
The country is using New York's restrictions on life itself as an example. Sadly, the erstwhile Empire State's ample restrictions may represent the nation's bleak future. The feds are working hard to keep pace with battling crazy notions about people keeping the money they earn and doing what they want with it. A new study shows why federalism only works when governments follow good examples (h/t Jon Gabriel):
And the lowest branch on the liberty tree?
"New York is by far the least free state in the Union. It is therefore no surprise that New York residents have been heading for the exits: 9.0 percent of the state's 2000 population, on net, left the state for another state between 2000 and 2011, the highest such figure in the nation. New York has, by a wide margin, the highest taxes in the country…[and] is also the most indebted state."
But even the home of Cuomo and Bloomberg can unchain their citizens by reducing spending, paying down debt, abolishing rent control, and… well the list is too long to reprint here.
The depressing stagnation is the price of living in a most miserable utopia, which sort of defeats the point. But we're trying to invent a workers' paradise here, so taxpayers are just going to have to suck it up and start covering the costs. Hopefully, they won't realize that they can stop trying or just move:
New York's legislature approved a budget that hikes the state's minimum wage to $9 per hour. But taxpayers, not businesses, could actually be the responsible party for paying those extra wage costs, if a closed-door tax credit agreement among politicos made the final budget cut.
At least there's a reminder of which side hurts the poor no matter the swell intentions. Blame not maliciousness but rather tremendous delusion: minimum wage hikes designed to give instant raises actually price out entry-level workers, which is the inadvertently meanest thing a government can do to the poor.
But don't worry if you think employers will be unable to afford workers making more than the value they generate, as everyone else will be paying the salaries. Addition by subtraction doesn't always work:
Once the minimum wage rises by $1.75- to its full $9-per-hour mandate, employers will only be paying 40 cents of that difference, AP reports. The remaining $1.35 will be paid by taxpayers, in the form of a reimbursement credit that goes back to employers.
Money belongs to the state, anyway, so just consider this a more equitable way of sharing communal property. Your bourgeoisie notions about keeping what's earned hold us back! Still, there are lingering notions that the only thing worse than trying to confiscate more from earners is failing to recognize that such mandatory sharing won't work. It's too bad we can't monetize killing motivation.
If you think New York will find financial redemption through yet another welfare payment, then the Democrats would like to thank you ahead of time for your vote. The alternative, which would involve letting people earn, might teach the public to learn to rely on themselves and not Albany. There's nothing your rulers fear more.
Or maybe the restrictions and taxes will pay off, provided you have evidence that Andrew Cuomo is smarter than you. Bearing in mind the endless hassles and levies as a reward for being a New Yorker, it's almost as if there's a reason the state's economy has indefinitely sucked.
But we must preserve what we have. The way to get more people from leaving is to make the minimum wage 50 dollars per hour, as it will finally make everyone rich. New York's politicians just need to keep up the restrictions.

Animals in shelters must be cared for 365 days a year; this means that even on holidays, our staff goes to work. Volunteers brought the staff food on Thanksgiving to thank them for their hard work. So often this feels like a thankless job — and sometimes all it takes is a plate of cookies to let us know we are appreciated.
As I look back over the year, I acknowledge the terrible things we have seen that were done to animals. But what stands out is the overwhelming goodness and the random acts of kindness that has been showered on us throughout the year. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Jean Popovich purchased a home for her adult son after a devastating motorcycle accident prevented him from working.
"I thought, well rather than wait till I die, he needs it now, I'll just go and buy him a very inexpensive home and he'll have a place to live," said Popovich.
Her son, Bruce Tilton, lived in the home for five years until his recent death.
The deed for the property lists the names of Jean Popovich and Bruce Tilton. According to county records, there is no other deed and no other owner listed.
However, when Popovich went to her son's home after his death, she found another man living in the house.

"I said, something tragic has happened, my son has died very suddenly and I said you need to move out as quick as you can because I said I can't pay these bills," said Popovich.
The man in the house refused to leave.
"He said, I'm not moving, this is my house and I'm staying here," said Popovich.
WFLA TV contacted the man living in the home. Initially he claimed to have a deed in his name.
When confronted with information from county records he responded that he has documents to prove his claim, but will only show them in court.
Popovich wants the man to leave, but may now have to file a lawsuit to have him ejected from the property.
Attorney John McMillian says it's a common problem.
"If you let somebody in and that person won't move, the only way to get them out is to file a lawsuit, get a judge to enter an order requiring the sheriff to remove them," said McMillian.
State Legislator Amanda Murphy says the law needs to be changed.
"The homeowners should be protected first. This is a property that you pay money on and too often they're not paying the homeowner anything. I've heard of a situation where they are stealing water and electric," said Murphy.
Murphy says she is making it a legislative priority to change the laws of eviction to better protect the homeowner.

Sub-Python, and also not Python,
This review is from: Jabberwocky [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
When I went to see this in the late 1970s, I assumed it was another Python spin-off. After all, any film containing Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam and Michale Palin has to be at least half-Python. But as a comedy, the film left me strangely dissatisfied.
It is only now, browsing the DVD packaging some 25 years later, that I realise why I was so disappointed. The problem is that the writers were Terry Gilliam and (mainly) Charles Alverson. Much as I like Gilliam's animations, I have to admit that he was, at best, a minor contributor to Python's classic sketches. I hadn't heard of Alverson before, but according to the amazon site, he is largely the compiler of out-of-print joke books.
Whereas 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' contains many sketches (e.g. the autonomous collective peasants scene and the witch scene), there is nothing here that could stand on its own as a sketch. There are many amusing moments in 'Jabberwocky', but nothing that builds up, through Python's relentless pursuit of the logic of the ridiculous, into a self-contained sketch. Where the script tries to imitate the Python style -- e.g. the king's decision to kill the herald -- it often falls flat, or at best elicits a mild chuckle.
Watch this for its atmosphere, for the much-improved sound quality, for the strength of the supporting cast (e.g. John Bird and Graham Crowden in minor roles) and for its pointers to Gilliam's future directorial career. Just don't expect the humour to be at Python's level.

Thanks heavens. Someone agrees with me. I posted a review criticising this film and from the hateful response I received you'd think I'd stamped on a live puppy! Jabberwocky is awful, I wanted to like it but hated it. I wish some people wouldn't let nostalgia cloud their judgement. I agree with your review 100%.

Cheerful service with a smile just made my turkey sandwich (sweet pub sauce with a little kick) w/onion rings and my friend's Reuben w/the fruit&vegetable salad even more enjoyable. The outdoor seating on the upper terrace is definitely the way to go. The lemonade was a good balance of sweet and tart. Reasonable prices for the quality of the meals... More

Hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing and other outdoor activities are part of Michigan's culture and way of life. Nearly 84% of Michiganders feel that outdoor recreation is important. 194,000 Michigan jobs and more than $1.4 billion in state and local tax revenues come from outdoor recreation.
Clean Water Action's "Protect Pure Michigan" campaign, launched earlier this year, seeks to protect the state's air, land, water and Great Lakes from climate change impacts and dangerous pollution. The campaign traveled to Traverse City to speak with business owners there who often rely on tourism to keep their doors open and organized a "business after hours" event at Right Brain Brewery. There, Crystal Mountain Ski Resort CEO, Jim MacInnes, spoke about climate change impacts on his business. Read more
For too long, the coal industry has polluted our precious Great Lakes and waterways. As stewards of 1/5 of the world's fresh water, we can't afford to allow coal plants to continue toxic chemical dumping.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed long-overdue power plant pollution standards to limit the amount of toxic metals and other chemicals that can be dumped in our water. Unfortunately the coal industry is already trying to block them.
Tell the President to require Michigan power plants to clean up their pollution, our Great Lakes way of life depends on it - send a comment today!
Take action today - sign the petition for a Sustainable Clean Energy Plan!
Coal ash contains dangerous chemicals like arsenic, mercury and lead that can leak from storage sites and pollute the environment. Coal ash pollution has been known to cause cancer and neurological deficiencies in humans and deformities in fish. We need protections to be as strong as possible - Email your legislators today!
The hydraulic fracturing process takes millions of gallons of fresh water from Michigan aquifers and mixes it with a dangerous blend of toxic chemicals including known carcinogens and neurotoxins. The chemical cocktail is injected deep into the ground under extreme pressure, blowing apart shale rock and releasing trapped natural gas.

Forest Service Officials: 'Minimal Growth' Expected From Powerhouse Fire
Watch footage of the Powerhouse fire on KHTS' Youtube Channel.
"Future fire growth is expected to be minimal" for the Powerhouse Fire, according to the U.S. Forest Service website.

Damage Assessment Team officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department are now combing through the devastation left behind by the Powerhouse Fire to determine the extent of the loss, fire officials said Tuesday.
"They're just going out and assessing the damage in the areas where the fire ran through," said Fire Inspector Scott Miller. "All they're really trying to do is gather information on the damage."
The latest figures showed another 5 percent increase in containment in the Powerhouse Fire, which firefighters are still battling Wednesday.
County officials have declared a state of emergency for the Powerhouse Fire incident, which has torched more than 32,000 acres at the most recent count.
On a motion Tuesday by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously ratified the proclamation a local state of emergency resulting from the Powerhouse Fire.
At last count, there were three residences damaged and 16 residences lost, Miller said. There were also more than two dozen structures, such as barns, sheds and abandoned trailers that were lost in the blaze.
The evacuations were lifted Tuesday afternoon, he said, although there are still several road closures in place.
Ridge Route Road remains closed at Lake Hughes Road.
The following roads are under hard closures that are open to residents only -- Spunky Canyon Road at Bouquet Canyon Road; San Francisquito Canyon at Dry Gulch; 110th at Avenue K; and Elizabeth Lake at 90th.
And all roads between Avenue D and Lancaster Road, 190th Street and 170th Street.
The official cause of the fire is under investigation, according to Lisa Lugo of the U.S. Forest Service.
Started on May 30, the fire has burned approximately 32,032 acres.
The fire was first reported near an LADWP plant, which was how it got its name, Lugo said.
"That's why it was called the Powerhouse Fire," Lugo said. "We name our fires based on where they started."

A number of Real Madrid's players will have revenge on their minds when they take on Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, and they'll probably like their chances of pulling it off given the decimated nature of the BVB squad. The Dortmund side is without a number of first choice players and Jurgen Klopp has a tough task on his hands.
More from our team sites
However, Dortmund benefit from not having to compete in the league at the moment. They've already lost the Bundesliga title, but they're seven points clear of fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen, so Champions League qualification looks very likely. Madrid, meanwhile, are third in La Liga and have a Copa del Rey Clásico coming up soon.
Madrid are not without their own injury issues, with all of Sami Khedira, Jese, Marcelo and Alvaro Arbeloa missing out on Wednesday. Dortmund's problems are much more numerous, as Sven Bender, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Ilkay Gündogan, Marcel Schmelzer and Neven Subotic are all hurt, while Robert Lewandowski is suspended. Lukasz Piszczek is also a slight doubt.
Match date/time: Wednesday, 2:45 p.m. ET, 8:45 p.m. local
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain

Yes, the title is true. One day I was slogging along at 12 to 13-minute paces. Then suddenly, I'm cranking out 9 to 10-minute paces! It's pretty exciting, and best of all, it's actually easier to run faster!
Tonight I cranked out a 9:42 pace, versus a month ago, at the same distance, I struggled to manage a 13:03 pace for 3 miles.
So how did I dramatically improve my pace? Sort of by accident, because I was forced to change my cadence. Let me explain.
I've been running for a few years, and my development has been slow, for one reason or another. But all these years, I was really running. Pumping my legs, taking long, "gazelle-like" strides. (Or so I thought that's how it looked.) It felt like I was running.
But I was sticking my forward foot way out there, landing on my heel, then pulling through and kicking off. Actually, as I reflect back on it, I was generating speed via pulling through each step.
But as I was returning to running recently, I noticed that my knees were bugging me a bit.
Coincidentally, over the last few months, I just happened to have attended a few running form clinics. In these clinics I learned that an optimal cadence was around three steps per second, and, heel striking while running, is effectively like hitting the micro-brakes with every step.
Even though I did not immediately take advantage of this information, it was in my head.
Then, jumping forward to present day. My knees were starting to bug me and I wasn't getting any faster. So I changed up my approach to how I ran so I could land lighter on my feet and take the stress off my knees. (That was the intent)
I started to take shorter, quicker strides and at the same time, tried to be as smooth as possible. (Quicker steps is akin to using higher RPM riding your bikes. It provides for quicker muscle recovery.)
In my mind, the first time I went out, I was going to take it very slow & mellow. I was placing my feet under me and kicking back with longer strides than I had been, trying to match up to that three-step-per-second thing. This forced me to take those smaller, quicker steps.
To create shorter strides, I focused on putting my foot down right below my knee or underneath my hips. Something Laszlo Tabori used to yell at me about. (I trained under him for about a year, many moons ago.) And just take shorter strides.
It was a two mile run. No ego, just running. And it was the fastest I had ever paced that distance. And I totally did not get it. I was breathing easy and going, what I thought, was slow.
And ever since then, I've been setting PR after PR, with almost every run. Even my longer runs. It's crazy.
But taking shorter, quicker steps trying to hit the ground 3 times a second, seemed to also give me a flat, or mid-foot strike landing. Getting my feet on the ground more often helped my stamina stay up. My breathing while running was much easier and it all seems like it's easier to PR.
Or, after changing to proper running technique, I was able to effectively execute more efficiently.

Journal Article, The China Quarterly, volume 218
By Scott Moore, Former Giorgio Ruffolo Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sustainability Science Program/Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, 20122014
Inter-jurisdictional water resource issues constitute a growing political and economic challenge in China. This article examines three such cases of hydropolitics, namely large dam construction, water resource allocation, and downstream water pollution, through the lens of centrallocal relations. It argues that the hydropolitics in China are characterized by the pursuit of localized preferences within the constraints imposed by a centralized political system.

Working Paper
By Keun Lee, Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa and John Mathews
A sustainable pathway for Africa in the twenty-first century is laid out in the setting of the development of innovation capabilities and the capture of latecomer advantages. Africa has missed out on these possibilities in the twentieth century while seeing the East Asian countries advance. There are now abundant examples and cases to draw on, in the new setting where industrial development has to have green tinges to be effective.

"Do Homework Before Supporting Groups in ISIS Fight"
By Khaled Sheykholeslami and Ariane Tabatabai, Research Fellow, International Security Program/Project on Managing the Atom
"The United States and several key regional states, including Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey may have very different interests, but they all have a shared interest in better understanding and working together to stop groups that dislike Americans as much as Jews, Persians, Shias, secular Muslims, and the Saudi monarchy. They should refrain from empowering and expressing blind support for a group or entity without fully understanding it first."

By Ariane Tabatabai, Research Fellow, International Security Program/Project on Managing the Atom
"Iran...may not have been the United States' best friend in the past three and a half decades, but it remains a legitimate nation-state. It has a political system with a series of checks and balances and some level of accountability and debate. Importantly, Iran can be deterred. Ideology is certainly a driver behind Tehran's decision-making, but its national interests dictate much of its actions. These interests in turn do not always converge with those of the United States, nor do they always conflict."

"An ambitious deal might also stimulate more demand for innovations in clean technologies, in which China is emerging as a global leader. But because of the UN's decision-making process, in which all its members have to agree on a new deal, Xi Jinping is in the powerful position of being able to commit to only as much emission reductions as fit his domestic policy agenda."

"...[T]o understand the origins of anti-Americanism in pre-revolutionary Iran, look no further. The MEK was responsible for the assassination and failed attempts to kidnap and assassinate Americans in Iran in the 1970s. It was also the MEK that pressured the Islamic revolutionaries to take a stronger stance against the United States. The MEK further supported the 1979 U.S. embassy hostage crisis in Tehran."

These people keep calling me from this number saying I won something. When I request to have my number removed it hangs up on me and keeps calling. I have got two reps on the phone and asked to be removed from the list and to speak with their supervisor and they just hang up on me. Very rude, and I am now going to the BBB, FCC, and Department of Agriculture.

Made this over 2 weeks, tried out this sketchy looking style that i enjoy, i think it works pretty well.
In the OP i tried my hand at typographic-style animation....i forgot how much i hated tweening though, won't be doing anything like that again.
So yeah, these animations really tell you nothing about the actual story in the tROLL gAME comic... but seriously it's awesome, go read it!
Troll Game is awesome!
I read the comic before watching the animations which made it even more amazing to look at. Seriously though, Troll Game is the best webcomic I've ever read and I can't wait for the next chapter to come out. Well done!
Danny Ladonne eh where was he in troll game?? Good stuff man your skill is growing in animation.
aww hell naw
The Ma$e was what we need nowadayz! It feels fresh, defiantly something i want to achieve!
i like
how its a black persone song with all white carecters.
Can you do chapter 8 already?
I want to read more; I have come up with a few guesses as to how the Troll Game will end ad I want to know if I'm right...

THURSDAY, Feb. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Several cases of fulminant myocarditis, a rare complication of viral infection, have been identified among children infected with H1N1 pandemic influenza during a one month period, according to the results of a retrospective chart review published online Feb. 10 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Noting that fulminant myocarditis can be a complication of influenza infection, András Bratincsák, M.D., and colleagues from Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego reviewed the charts of all patients at their institution who were diagnosed with H1N1 influenza A infection during October 2009 for evidence of myocarditis.
The researchers identified four cases of influenza-associated myocarditis based on elevated cardiac enzymes, a significant acute decrease in left ventricular systolic function by echocardiography, or histologic evidence. The three children with fulminant myocarditis showed no evidence of sepsis or bacterial infection. Fulminant myocarditis resulted in death in one case and a requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in two cases. Of the three children with decreased systolic function, two recovered within five to seven days.
"Our observations warrant a high index of suspicion for myocarditis in children with H1N1 influenza A infection," Bratincsák and colleagues conclude. "Timely intervention with circulatory support may decrease morbidity and mortality, with the potential for a favorable cardiac prognosis."
