PAL region
The PAL region (PAL being short for Phase Alternating Line) is a television publication territory that covers most of Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania. It is so named because of the PAL television standard traditionally used in those regions, as opposed to the NTSC standard traditionally used in Japan and the United States, which both produce a large portion of the world's televisions.
Most video games designated as part of the region will not play on NTSC-U/C or NTSC-J region consoles because of regional lockout. While this is the most common occurrence, some Xbox and Xbox 360 games are region-free encoded, since Microsoft's policy is for publishers to decide. Sony has a similar policy for the PlayStation Portable, but most publishers choose not to encode a region on their UMD games. With the exception of Persona 4 Arena, PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc games are region-free. The PlayStation 4 will be completely region free allowing usage in all standards regions. The Xbox One was originally announced to include region locking, but this was one of several policies that Microsoft reversed after consumer outcry.[1] All Nintendo home consoles have region locking either by software encoding or physical differences in media and consoles.
In contrast, most Nintendo handhelds are not region-locked, along with most other historical systems (Neo Geo Pocket, Sega Game Gear, etc.), except partially for the Nintendo DSi and fully for the Nintendo 3DS which features region locking for the DSi and 3DS specific software respectively (for example, DSiWare games and apps).
Australia uses PAL version games only for the Wii, PlayStation 3 and sometimes the Xbox 360. Nintendo DS games in Australia use either their own localisations or localisations from North America to reduce release date delays on games, but some distributors use European versions as they are fully aligned to a certain European subsidiary e.g. Konami and Capcom of Europe for unknown reasons.
As most hand-held consoles use their own proprietary display system, incompatibilities of differing TV systems are not relevant. However, the same regions often exist for localisation and distribution purposes.
Release area[edit]
The scope of the PAL region varies with systems and publishers. The following countries and areas are normally included in a PAL region release:
Along with other Middle Eastern, African, and European countries.
60 Hz operation[edit]
During the mid-1990s, the practice of modifying consoles such as the Super NES and Mega Drive to allow 60 Hz operation became somewhat common among PAL gamers, due to the rise in NTSC/60 Hz capable PAL TVs and the relatively simple nature of the modifications. Beginning with the fifth generation of consoles, which introduced more powerful hardware and 3D graphics, developers had the ability to output at full PAL resolution without borders or stretching, although games still typically ran slower and all ran at 50 Hz. Beginning with the Dreamcast and continuing through the sixth generation of consoles, developers began including PAL60 modes in their games. Games that run at PAL60 are produced with the same colour encoding system as 50 Hz PAL signals, but with the NTSC resolution and field rate of 60 Hz, providing an identical gaming experience to their NTSC counterparts.
Criticism of PAL region video games[edit]
Games ported to PAL have historically been known for having game speed and frame rates inferior to their NTSC counterparts. Since the NTSC standard is 60 fields/30 frames per second but PAL is 50 fields/25 frames per second, games were typically slowed down by approximately 16.7% in order to avoid timing problems or unfeasible code changes. FMV rendered and encoded at 30 frames per second by the Japanese/US (NTSC) developers was often down-sampled to 25 frames per second for PAL release—usually by means of 3:2 pull-down, resulting in motion judder. In addition to this, PAL's increased resolution was not utilised during conversion, creating a pseudo letterbox effect with borders top and bottom, leaving the graphics with a slightly squashed look due to an incorrect aspect ratio caused by the borders. This was especially prevalent during previous generations when 2D graphics were used almost exclusively. The gameplay of many games with an emphasis on speed, such as the original Sonic The Hedgehog for the Mega Drive, suffered in their PAL incarnations.
Despite the possibility and popularity of 60 Hz PAL games, many high profile games, particularly for the PS1 and PS2 console, were released in 50 Hz-only versions. Square Enix have long been criticised by PAL gamers for their poor PAL conversions. Final Fantasy X runs in 50 Hz mode only, and 16.7% slower and bordered that while prevalent in previous generations was considered inexcusable at the time of release.[2] In stark contrast, the Xbox featured a system-wide PAL60 option in the Dashboard and the overwhelming majority of PAL games offered 50 and 60 Hz modes with no slowdown. Current generation PAL consoles such as the Xbox 360 and Wii also feature system-wide 60 Hz support.
Nintendo's Virtual Console service has been criticized due to PAL games running in 50 Hz only, despite the ability to run in 60 Hz mode.[3]
In recent years, few PAL releases have lacked the standard PAL mode and offered 60 Hz only, notably Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Geist for the Nintendo GameCube, and Dead or Alive 4 for the Xbox 360.

Yeah, as you said replace your hit marker trinket should be first prio from what I can see!
I think i have done an alright job in itemizing my self other then the double hit cap thing.
The only thing I can think to drop that would be to replace my 245 trink.
Yet I can not seem to do that everytime deaths choice or DBW drops it gets won by a hunter.......
So here is my link:
other than the hit cap is there anything else i can replace to further increase my dps i was pulling about 8993 on saurfang on 25 last night.
Yeah, as you said replace your hit marker trinket should be first prio from what I can see!
If you plan on having bad luck for some time and have the cash to spare the Greatness Card is quite a good trinket but then again you wont like yourself if DC or DBW drops the next day
Looks good to me mate, I'd have to agree with Sjk.
A greatness card would def help alot but also replacing the 245 shoulders or chest with 232 set shoulders or chest will be a improvment from the 2 piece bonus as well untill you can get a trophy for 245 pieces. Losing your 2 piece bonus is just not worth it for the small jump in stats from 232-245
You could check Rawr but with that amount of hit rating you have it might be an upgrade to get Bryntroll to replace your current weapon. You would gain a higher dps weapon and lose some of the hit though you would still be over the cap. In the long run though replacing your hit trinket with DBW or Greatness would be best since Cryptmaker (which has hit) is going to be your BiS 25 man weapon for Unholy until you get a chance at Lich King weapons or go for Shadow's Edge. There are some nice heroic 10 man weapons without hit too.
One thing I see wrong is where your Nightmare Tear is socketed. You have it on your legs in the blue socket but have a red gem in the yellow socket which still doesn't unlock the bonus. I would replace it with a 20 str gem and move it to the blue socket on your chest piece which would give you the +8 str bonus. Some other things to consider is the Sigil of the Hanged Man vs. the Sigil of Virulence. If you check the EJ Unholy thread they provide a breakdown on which sigils are better for each boss in ICC. Sometimes movement or add switching might cause your stacks to drop off. Your current spec looks fine, but with the amount of ICC gear you have I would suggest taking a look at Frost as a sub-spec or keeping UH/Blood but take Reaping.
Almost 9k dps is pretty good and certainly nothing to sneeze at. I think there isn't much else you can do except through better gear and self improvements (UI setup, keybind setup, etc.) From what I can see you know how to spec and gear your DK correctly.
Last edited by bling581; 04-15-2010 at 07:34 AM.
Bryntroll would def be a upgrade over the claymore. Also with a proc based weapon it'll be a DPS gain switching from a blood sub-spec to a frost sub because of Icy Talons.

Any opinion on my question above???
Curiously, my swap space is on hda which is the main hdd. I have an hdd which is a tarball backup (I create tarballs monthly of /var/www/ and so on). I'm thinking I should reconfigure it so that hdb has the swap. That should fix up some I/O right? It's SATA so I mean it would allow the system to use I/O on the primary hdd for primary purposes. It would then let the secondary hdd handle the swap. Right?
Reason I'm reposting is that the datacenter techs believe that to be negligible. But, if it ends up swapping I figured it wouldn't be negligible at that point?
ISPC3 on Debian! It's great!

Chef Freddy's Black Beans and Seared Tofu
Adapted from a recipe by Chef Frederick Demers, Executive Chef, Café Martinique, Atlantis
At the restaurant, Chef Demers pairs the beans with pan-seared fish (see right). He also gives it a little extra kick with sake, truffle juice and some cinnamon, cloves and allspice. This version is easier (truffle juice?!) for the home cook and Chef likes to swap out tofu for the fish to make it a vegan dish.
Makes about 8 servings.
But you can make four servings and freeze half the beans (without the tofu) for later use in this dish, soups or salads.
- 1 pound dried black beans
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon peeled, diced ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound firm tofu, rinsed drained and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 ounces lemon juice
- 1 ounce rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1. Soak 1 pound (2 cups) beans six hours or overnight. Drain and rinse.
- 2. Cover beans with fresh water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, about 2-3 hours or until beans are tender.
- 3. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute vegetables and ginger until soft. Add black beans and reduce heat to low, stirring to incorporate. Add, a little water if necessary to keep the beans from sticking. Remove from heat and cover.
- 4. In a medium sauce pan, heat remaining olive oil and sear tofu. Toss with lemon juice, rice vinegar, pepper flakes, cilantro. Serve tofu on top of beans. If desired, make more of the lemon juice mixture and serve extra on the side.

NFL draft preview: Outside linebackers
The outside linebacker class will test teams' philosophies. On the one hand, there is Georgia's Jarvis Jones, who played like a demon but worked out horribly. On the other, there is Missouri's Zaviar Gooden, who was all-pro at the NFL scouting combine, but didn't impress many scouts on Saturdays during the fall. Some teams go for the player; some go for the athlete. There aren't many in this class who are both outstanding players and outstanding athletes.

Debbie Lee – Gold Star Mother
Debbie Lee has been a leading spokesperson for the missions of U.S. troops fighting in the war on terrorism and for their families and families of the fallen. She founded a non-profit, America's Mighty Warriors in response to her son's last letter home.
Her son, Marc Alan Lee, was the first Navy SEAL to lose his life in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Marc, 28, was killed August 2, 2006 in a fierce firefight while on patrol against insurgents in Ramadi, Iraq.
U.S. Navy officers told Debbie Lee that her son died after single-handedly holding off enemy fighters as his team rescued a wounded soldier from a rooftop. During the two-hour battle, Navy officials informed her that Marc Lee fired 100 rounds of ammunition against insurgents before he was killed.
As the Portland Oregonian noted, "A Navy SEALs everyday life would reduce most people to sobbing wrecks: extremes of heat and cold, sleep deprivation, the constant specter of danger. It is an existence of late-night phone calls and missed birthdays, while standing watch over the troubled waters of this world so that others may sleep peacefully."
Debbie Lee has toured the nation, speaking at pro-troop rallies, and helping to organize shipments of care packages to our troops serving overseas. She also made history as the first Gold Star Mother to enter the combat zone and visit the city where her son died. She spent Christmas 07 with the troops in Iraq thanking them and personally handed out 10,000 of the 226,000 Christmas cards collected on the 'Honoring Heroes at the Holidays' National Tour. Christmas 08 was spent with the troops in Guantanamo thanking them and sharing gifts and cards with them.
She has met numerous times with President Bush and pledged her commitment to use her voice to make a difference in America's effort to support our troops. She has also met with Gen Petraeus thanking him for his faithful service and wise leadership. She is a favorite on Radio and TV having conducted over 500 interviews.
She appeared onstage at the 2007 Country Music Awards where Tim McGraw presented to her and other Gold Star Parents his new song, "If Your Reading This" which honors those in the U.S. military who gave their lives in service to this nation.
Her tireless love and support for our troops is reflected in the years of full-time volunteering as she stands behind those who have stood to defend her.

Amaranth - Burgundy - Amaranthus hypochondriacus
Tender Annual Heirloom. The white seeds were an important grain in the Aztec diet.Amaranth grain is gluten free and a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids including lysine, which is lacking in cereal grains. Grow this as a nutritious, rice-like grain, or for the bright leaves to use in salads. Amaranth is an edible landscaping star with its human height and plumed flowers.
Soil & Water: Amaranth likes loam and silty loam soil. It is very drought tolerant so water only when dry.
Planting & Growing: Direct seed after soil has begun to warm in spring. The seed is very fine so you can mix it with a carrier like sand or dry coffee grounds. Scatter the seed and rake it in lightly.
Harvesting & Storage: For greens, harvest the entire plant before flowers appear. For seeds, harvest after flowers have turned to seed, by cutting the stalk and letting it cure for a few days in a sunny location. Bring it in at night to avoid moisture. Once dried, shake into a paper bag and filter with a sieve.
Did You Know? Amaranth is a pseudo cereal, meaning the seed is used like a cereal grain, even though it is a broadleaf plant not a grass.
Soil Temperature: 60-90°F
Planting Depth: 1/4"
Germination: 5-10 Days
Height At Maturity: 6'-8'
Days to Maturity: 100 Days
Spacing After Thinning: 8"-12"
Approx Seeds per Pack: 250 Seeds

Shoppers will be out and online in full force on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and one consumer protection agency is reminding them to be safe and savvy shoppers. NY1's Susan Jhun filed the following "NY1 For You" report.
The two biggest shopping days of the year are upon us and that means buyers beware.
"Know what the shipping policies are, return policies, exchange policies, restocking policies, and on and on," says Claire Rosenzweig, President & CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan New York.
Whether shopping retail or online, the BBB of Metropolitan New York is cautioning consumers to know their rights and protect their personal information, especially online.
"Websites have gotten more and more sophisticated. They can look great, you can get pulled in, if they start asking you for your personal information, credit card information, take a step back, make sure it's a reliable business that you're dealing with and then if you're absolutely sure you still want to do business with this company, make sure it's on a secure website, look for that little S in the URL," Rosenzweig says.
And be on the lookout for phishing emails that pretend to be from a legitimate company. Once you click on them they can introduce malware or spyware viruses onto your computer.
The BBB also recommends always keeping documentation of your order and receipt of your purchase.
And above all pay with a credit card so you can dispute charges if necessary.
For these tips and more or to check on a business, visit newyork.bbb.org.
If you'd like "NY1 For You" to look into a problem, call our 24-hour helpline at 212-379-3599 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Police: Suspected pot farmer released from custody
|The secluded area in Harwinton where a hidden marijuana patch was found. Chicken wire fencing and plant remnants remain in the area where state police removed 91 suspected marijuana plants last week. Bud Wilkinson/RA
HARWINTON -- A 35-year-old Glastonbury man has been released on $50,000 bond after his arrest last week on charges of cultivating a marijuana crop in an overgrown area not far from the Torrington town line.
State police report arresting Garvey Foley of 100 Oxbox Drive, Apartment C2, without incident Wednesday afternoon after he tried to elude them near the well-hidden pot patch.

Second season for maturity standard
Last year marked the first season for the new California navel maturity standard, which was developed to better represent consumer eating experiences with early-season fruit.
The previous standard was based solely on a sugar-to-acid ratio, whereas the new standard also incorporates other flavor components.
The standard will be in place again this season without any changes, said Joel Nelsen, president of Exeter-based California Citrus Mutual.
"We think it went very well, and the demand for the product early on was better than it had been in the past," Nelsen said of last year. "We didn't get any push-back from the shippers and growers. From an operational standpoint, it seemed to work smoothly."
When Citrus Mutual initially proposed the new standard, the grower group said it would remain in place for three years, after which time it would be evaluated.
"Given all of the heat we're experiencing, I don't anticipate any sugar-acid problems," Nelsen said in late July. "The problem we're having with as much heat as we're seeing is the trees kind of shut down, and the fruit doesn't grow as rapidly in hot weather. That's a concern."

Appendix 4: Occupational Health and Safety
The department is committed to ensuring the health, welfare and safety of all staff in Australia and overseas. To help achieve this, it has a designated full-time OH&S officer and a departmental committee that meets every two months to discuss OH&S issues. The committee is chaired by a qualified medical practitioner and brings together management, staff and union representatives. Each State and Territory office and overseas post is a Designated Work Group with elected (or appointed) staff representatives. The department sponsors health promotion activities, and the OH&S officer maintains close contact with the Medical Unit, Diplomatic Security and Property Branch, building managers, the Technical Services Section, and unions, to monitor and promote a safer and healthier workplace. The department also maintains close liaison with overseas posts on OH&S issues.
The department has a full-time rehabilitation case manager to facilitate an early and safe return to work for officers following an illness or injury. During the year in review, 22 minor incidents were reported, of which three were near misses (but could have resulted in injuries). Of these incidents, 19 occurred in the RG Casey Building, one at a State office, one at an overseas post, and one outside the workplace. In addition, 28 Comcare claims were made as a result of more serious injuries or illness. The greatest number of theseseven claimsinvolved strains and sprains (excluding backs). The claims that resulted in the highest costs related to occupational overuse syndrome (five claims, representing a total of over $206 000). The case manager works in close cooperation with Comcare, the OH&S officer and rehabilitation specialists, particularly in providing an appropriate work environment for officers with special needs.
The potential Comcare client group includes all departmental
officers located in Australia and overseas and about
During the review period, the departments premium for Comcare coverage fell to 0.38 per cent of total departmental wages and salary costs. This compares favourably with the average of 1 per cent across all the agencies covered by Comcare.

Tony & Jeanie Lee
In today's fast-paced world, many businesses come into a community with a primary goal of making a profit, and unfortunately, they don't seem to care how they do it. It is truly refreshing to look at a business whose longevity in our community harkens us back to a simpler time when businesses were established on the integrity and honesty of their founders. Winell Lee Moulding and Hardwood in Cookeville is one such business and Tony and Jeanie Lee are prime examples of their family members who founded their company.
Winell and Mary Lee based their family business on sincerity with a veracity not often seen in corporations today. With the 2008 celebration of a 50th anniversary for Winell Lee Moulding and Hardwood, we can surely see how these characteristics were passed down to the family members running the business today.
Tony and Jeanie Lee believe it is very important to continue serving the public with the same traits the company was founded on. Part of the family business, Tony & Jeanie Lee have supported WCTE and its community involvement for many years. Their children grew up with WCTE and now their grandchildren are enjoying the safe, smart and entertaining programming as well. They are a part of the four generations working in their family business and Jeanie Lee believes that one key to their success is being involved in their community. "For local businesses, the more community oriented you are, the better. That's how you grow in your community. You help to make your community a success by working together," said Jeanie. Today, Jeanie and Tony are most impressed with the growth of WCTE's service area. "WCTE's outreach is much greater now. Now WCTE can cover most of Middle Tennessee. That growth is important and the work you do there is important," Jeanie continued.
The Lee family also believes in continued growth through their reforestation efforts in the Upper Cumberland. While almost all of the lumber they use is a Tennessee product, they replant many of the areas to replace trees for the future. "If the harvesting is done right, it will reseed itself", said Tony.
As with any family business, theirs has challenges, but since they are working with their family, they know they can always work it out. While Jeanie enjoys working and interacting with people a lot, both Tony and Jeanie see working with their family as the best part of their job. Tony also enjoys working with his sons (Shay & Jason) in the out-of-doors as well. The Lee's believe that another key to the success of their business is that all of their family members bring expertise and value in a variety of areas. They also believe the generations of success in their business can be attributed to the dedication of their family as well.
Tony and Jeanie are proud to say that they support WCTE and are proud of what the station has become. It is a rare Sunday at church when Jeanie does not hear someone mention that they saw her on WCTE. "We do hear that our sponsorships do make a difference," said Jeanie. She also believes that WCTE is worthy of support because of the educational and informative programming that WCTE airs, "That is very important- especially in the world today," continued Jeanie, "WCTE does it's best to present a quality product."
Tony and Jeanie Lee are a part of the WCTE family as members and sponsors alike. They believe in so many ways that they have been truly blessed.
We appreciate the years of support given to WCTE by Tony and Jeanie Lee and congratulate them on their years of success as well!

Syria has welcomed Russia's suggestion it should put its chemical weapons under international control - a move designed to avoid possible US air strikes.
It comes after US secretary of state John Kerry said in London this was the only way Syria could avoid military intervention.
Walid al-Moallem, Syria's foreign minister, gave a warm reception to Russia's proposal, but stopped short of outlining any concrete action.
He said: "I am announcing the Syrian Arab Republic welcomed the Russian initiative, to preserve the life of our citizens and security of our country."
Sergei Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister, said the suggestion came after a summit with his Syrian counterpart.
He added: "The talks were already over when news came of John Kerry's speech in which he said that "strikes on Syria could only be avoided if Damascus handed over all its chemical weapons":http://www.euronews.com/2013/09/09/kerry-says-syria-can-avoid-military-strikes-if-al-assad-gives-up-chemical-/ to the international community.

What is it?
A set of geoengineering proposals to grow large swathes of plankton by dumping nutrients into the ocean. The plankton is supposed to draw down carbon dioxide. In reality this technique doesn't appear to work and threatens marine ecosystems.
The Theory:
Oceans play a key role in regulating the world's climate. Phytoplankton (microorganisms that dwell on the surface of the ocean), despite their minute size, collectively account for half of the carbon dioxide absorbed annually from the Earth's atmosphere by plants. Through the process of photosynthesis, plankton capture carbon and sunlight for growth, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. The world's oceans have already absorbed about a third of all carbon dioxide (CO2) humans have generated over the last 200 years. According to NASA, about 90% of the world's total carbon content has settled to the bottom of the ocean, mostly in the form of dead biomass.
Proponents of ocean fertilization posit that dumping "nutrients" (generally iron, nitrogen or phosphorous) in waters identified as "high nutrient low chlorophyll" (HNLC) – i.e., where there are low concentrations of phytoplankton due to the absence of one nutrient – will spur the growth of phytoplankton. Since phytoplankton use CO2 for photosynthesis, the idea is that increasing the population of phytoplankton will increase CO2 -absorption. They argue that when individual phytoplankton die (the lifespan of phytoplankton is short – a few days at most), they will fall to the ocean floor leading to the long-term sequestration of carbon at the deeper levels of the sea. The goal of commercial enterprises engaged in ocean fertilization is to profit from selling carbon credits or offsets for the sequestered CO2 through voluntary or regulated carbon markets.
Phytoplankton populations in the world's oceans are declining as a result of climate change and warmer water temperatures. The amount of iron that is naturally deposited from atmospheric dust clouds into the global oceans (providing nutrients for phytoplankton) has also decreased dramatically in recent decades. According to NASA satellite data, as water temperatures increased from 1999 to 2004, the ocean's microscopic plant life dropped significantly. Oceans around the equator in the Pacific saw as much as a 50 percent drop in phytoplankton production. Advocates of iron fertilization schemes believe that iron is the missing nutrient that will restore phytoplankton and sequester two to three billion extra tonnes of carbon dioxide every year – roughly one-third to one-half of global industry and automobile emissions. Some regions of the ocean (especially near the Arctic and Antarctic circles) are nutrient-rich but anemic – they lack sufficient iron to stimulate plankton growth. With the addition of iron in these presumably otherwise healthy zones, scientists hope to increase plankton growth thereby increasing the absorption of CO2. However, U.S. and Canadian scientists, writing in the journal Science, point out that "the oceans' food webs and biogeochemical cycles would be altered in unintended ways." They warn that if carbon trading schemes make it profitable for companies to engage in ocean fertilization, "the cumulative effects of many such implementations would result in large-scale consequences – a classic 'tragedy of the commons.'" Others note that iron may not be the ocean's only nutrient "deficiency" – researchers have identified silicate as a crucial component in carbon export, for example – but each "correction" to ocean water composition could have unintended effects.
Who's involved?
There are both commercial and scientific ventures involved in ocean fertilization and at least 13 experiments have been carried out in the world's oceans over the past 20 years. A 2007 experiment near the Galapagos Islands by U.S. start-up Planktos, Inc. was stopped because of an international civil society campaign (See example, below.) The company was already selling carbon offsets on-line and the company's CEO acknowledged that its ocean fertilization activities were as much a "business experiment" as a "science experiment."
Climos, another U.S. start-up in the field, is still operational. The CEO of Climos has proposed a "code of conduct" for ocean fertilization experiments to "find effective ways for the science, business and carbon market communities to collaborate." The Ocean Nourishment Corporation, an Australian company run by Ian S.F. Jones with ties to the University of Sydney had plans to dump urea (nitrogen) into the Sulu Sea but was stopped by the Filipino government in 2007, after over 500 civil society organizations campaigned against the plan. The science of ocean fertilization is increasingly discredited, with experimentation receiving negative reviews from everyone from the Royal Society to the New Scientist, not to mention the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change.
The 191 governments attending the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a de facto moratorium on ocean fertilization in May 2008. The London Convention and Protocol on ocean dumping has also addressed the issue, and are trying to establish how to define a legitimate scientific experiment.
What's wrong with Ocean Fertilization?
Phytoplankton are the foundation of the marine food chain. Iron may well stimulate the growth of algae blooms but its potential to capture and eliminate any significant amount of carbon is doubtful at best. The list of potential side-effects is long: oxygen depletion (anoxia) in the deep sea; disruption of marine ecosystems, particularly the food chain; a strong likelihood of increased releases of other GHGs such as nitrous oxide and methane as well as gases such as DMS that form clouds altering weather; potential toxicological impacts such as dinoflagellates in the case of urea fertilization; potential worsening of the problem of ocean acidification. Ocean fertilization could also have devastating impacts on the livelihoods of people who depend on healthy marine systems, most notably fisher folk.
Example– The Planktos Story
Planktos, Inc. was a U.S. start-up company that intended to sow the oceans with iron in order to create plankton blooms that would theoretically sequester CO2. By early 2007 Planktos was already selling carbon offsets on its web site, claiming its initial ocean fertilization test, conducted off the coast of Hawaii from the private yacht of singer Neil Young, were taking carbon out of the atmosphere. In May 2007, Planktos announced plans to set sail from Florida to dump tens of thousands of pounds of tiny iron particles over 10,000 square kilometers of international waters near the Galapagos Islands, a location chosen, among other reasons, because no government permit or oversight would be required. In efforts to stop Planktos, civil society groups filed a formal request with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to investigate Planktos's activities and to regulate them under the U.S. Ocean Dumping Act. In addition, public interest organizations asked the Securities Exchange Commission to investigate Planktos's misleading statements to potential investors regarding the legality and purported environmental benefits of their actions. Hit with negative publicity, Planktos announced in February 2008 it was indefinitely postponing its plans because of a "highly effective disinformation campaign waged by anti-offset crusaders." In April 2008, Planktos announced bankruptcy, sold its vessel and dismissed all employees. It "decided to abandon any future ocean fertilization efforts" due to "serious difficulty" raising capital as a result of "widespread opposition."

Job Hunting, Online-Style
Even the most technology-challenged journalist has at least a perfunctory Facebook or LinkedIn profile (my wife, who is eight years younger than me was shocked I had a Facebook account before her).
But knowing how to leverage these services is the key to avoiding becoming part of the digital white noise. Brad Kenney, associate editor at IndustryWeek and the new president of ASBPE's Cleveland chapter, is trying to spread journalistic online competencies through the association (read his blog at http://asbpecleveland.blogspot.com). Kenney advises that social network profiles should be treated almost like your company's Web site-make it relevant for search terms and keep it updated. "It's like coding a Web site," Kenney says. "Not only will that force you to think about your strengths but it will let you be searchable."
In his November/December president's letter, ASBPE head and BNA Tax & Accounting senior state tax law editor Steven Roll writes about his LinkedIn experience. "LinkedIn is searchable, so I included the words ŌĆśstate tax,' which relates to what I write about," says Roll. "Two weeks later, a recruiter from a big-four accounting firm called to see if I'd like to write about state issues for them. She wouldn't reveal her sources but I'm convinced she found my profile on LinkedIn."
It cuts both ways-not only should potential employers be considering your online presence, you should evaluate theirs, including LinkedIn and Facebook profiles of would-be managers. "You can tell about the quality of their site and if they've done any coding," says Kenney. "Do they have knowledge of how things should look on a Web site? Are they blog-enabled, do they have 21st-Century tools for disseminating information? Do they have bookmarking services? Not only is that important to me as a journalist but a strong Web presence bodes well for future revenue and in turn, long-term employment."

The Mentalist Review: A Desperate Griefby Christine Orlando at . Comments
The one thing that The Mentalist never lets us forget is that Patrick Jane is a tortured soul. "Devil's Cherry" drove that point home.
At the start, I couldn't believe that Jane would make tea in the victim's kitchen. He's been at enough crime scenes to know better, but Jane wasn't himself here. Lorelei's disappearance looked like it sent him spiraling into depression and, as Cho said, who could blame him? He went deep undercover for six months only to have his one lead to Red John stolen from him.
After 10 years of chasing a mad man, Jane is no closer to finding him - and perhaps too close to going mad himself.
The hallucination sequence was a lot of fun. Seeing the pot lid jump had me doing the same and I enjoyed the delay on revealing the contents. I knew something was up when Jane started chasing the bunny. When he passed the couple dressed as garden gnomes, I figured this was either a dream or a drug-induced hallucination.
Obviously, I was correct on the latter but I have one question: How could Jane have taken that walk if he passed out on the kitchen floor?
However, I'm willing to let that question go to get to the heart of the episode... and that heart was Charlotte.
I liked that Charlotte had sprung from Jane's subconscious and wasn't yet another Red John plot. Yet, at the same time, it made me ache for Patrick. He longed to see his daughter so badly that his mind conjured her the first chance it had.
Their father/daughter conversations were really fun, as she berated him with teenage snarkiness and he told her to stop rolling her eyes. But it was Charlotte shining a light on Jane's empty life that was the most touching, as she told him in this The Mentalist quote...
I've been dead for 10 years and you're still stuck in neutral. | permalink
Deep down inside, Jane was questioning what's fueling his obsession with Red John and whether sacrificing his own life to catch the serial killer was really worth it. Make no mistake, Jane has sacrificed his life for Red John. It's been a decade and this obsession has become his life. The image of Charlotte tried to show him how sad and unnecessary that is.
The look on Jane's face when Charlotte disappeared was heart shattering. It was as though someone had ripped open a barely healed wound. His overwhelming grief was there to consume him once again.
This episode had some other interesting moments. Like when Jane told his daughter that Lisbon was the one person that really knew him and soon after he told Teresa that she could call him Patrick. Both were small moments but telling ones of his awareness of his feelings for Lisbon.
And the killer was... evil doesn't seem to cover it. She drugged a man and made him saw himself to death while she watched! Horrifying evil is the only term I can come up with to describe it.
This episode was filled with wacky tea, butterflies, bunnies, garden gnomes and eagle's claws. All of it was great fun and kept me guessing. Then the end came and I was left to wonder if Patrick added the bella donna to his tea. I couldn't blame him if he did because I don't want to imagine that kind of desperate, gnawing pain.
But if he did add the drug, he won't be able to stop and that could lead to a very dark and dangerous season of The Mentalist.

very interesting thoughts about who RJ could be, it would be intriguing if he was an older half brother or something like that.There was a part of me that thought for a brief second that Jane was mentally ill and he was in fact red john in some inner turmoil sherlock/moriarty jekyll/hyde senario but i doubt that is the case. I think the show can only really go two ways, with either Red John dead or Jane dead. As much as I adore Jane I think a lot of shows choose the easy way out, it would be good if he was killed off saving Lisbon or even Rigby's son from Red John. But I guess we'll see.
Rationalgal, I don't think Jane is Red John. I think it's his father or someone else in his family. You could be right about the wedding ring. When you get divorced you take the ring off. When someone dies you uaually keep it on.
Good comment about Jane's father wearing a wedding ring but never a mention of Jane's mother. Could she have died is some way that makes Jane's father blame himself, as Jane does now? Did she die when Jane was born or later due to something Jane's father did or didn't do? But Jane's father didn't seem like the type to care that much. Very strange. We really need an episode that shows how Jane's mother fits into his background. I don't think Jane is also Red John altho I can imagine a truly tragic end to this series where he sees himself as just a bad. This series is getting increasingly mysterious. And addictive!
I love this show, Its like a Rubic's Qube!
The tea Jane was drinking at the end of the Devil's Cherry looked like the same tea he drank in the kitchen. They showed the tea close up in both scenes. If this is true, I believe Jane was trying to see his wife and/or daughter. This episode speaks the loudest, its what's what not being said that begs the question. What about Jane's biologicial family? In the episode Throwing Fire, While young Jane and his father were on the Ferris Wheel, you can see in this scene that Jane's father is wearing a wedding ring. Where is Jane's mother and/or sibbings? Could Jane possibly have a evil twin? Has Jane had contact with his father since that episode and what is their relationship now. Red John and Jane show the same attributes, one light and one dark. The writter's of this show can not keep avoiding this question or scenario.
I found the episode where Jane meets up with Charlotte so heartbreaking. I could only think that Jane was using the Belladonna again at the end of the show so he could bring Charlotte back and see her again. So sad. Even though Jane is an absolute wizard at crime solving he is also quite fragile.. at least his mind is. I hope that the writers put Jane and Lisbon together at the end. They definitely belong together.. but then again, I thought Grace and Rigsby belonged together and look how that turned out.
"The Mentalist" is certainly the best version of the Sherlock Holmes story I've ever seen. I watched the latest iteration, "Elementary," one time and may not go back. The Sherlock character drove me nuts with his nervous jerky behavior and rapid-fire talking. It pretty much ruined what seemed otherwise to be a good show for me. And the relationship between Jane and Lisbon has been so engaging and fun to watch with their clever banter. No need for sex here but I'm sure it will come in the end because the two characters seem made for each other and a lot of viewers want to see it. Besides, Jane needs to get his family back and end his loneliness. However, I expect that "sexy" end to be loving hugs and stepped up banter, not the icky groping and clothes removing we are usually subjected to.
People keep asking why there is a need for another Sherlock Holmes-inspired procedural in CBS' lineup. After watching this episode, I'm inclined to agree because MENTALIST continues to find more intriguing ways to explore its Sherlock, Patrick Jane. Lisbon is truly Holmes to Jane's Sherlock. They don't need to be romantically involved to complete each other. Can't they just be platonic best friends? Jane seems to need that more than any sexual relationship. BTW, I think his Irene Adler was the woman from last season who escaped to an island paradise. She was played by Morena Baccarin. I don't think Jane will monkey around with belladonna any more, even if it was implied by the final scene, because it's poisonous. A less toxic hallucinogen, like marijuana, perhaps.
While I REALLY don't hope this is the last season of the Mentalist, it very well could be. Mr. Heller is saying that we will get huge clues in the Red John case and come very close to solving him. If they don't solve him this year, then what? You have all these huge clues and you have to go through another whole year before finally catching him the last episode of the series in season 6? Doesn't seem plausible. It's pretty telling how much they've leaked with this whole big Red John clues this year and kept it all vague. I get the idea of the hallucinations, I just think you shouldn't be waiting until near the end of the series to start asking these questions. This idea of what's the point in doing all this and would it really make his family happy should have been posed much earlier. There were so many episodes the first 4 years that were just random cases that were forgotten about after they were done, they definitely had the time and room to go into this, but they didn't. Like I said though, my rating of this episode will hinge on how they develop(or don't) these ideas in coming episodes.
It seems fairly clear that CBS intends this to be the last season for The Mentalist. The shift to Sunday night was possibly OK but with the start time depending on when that f---ing baseball or football game or whatever it is ends has screwed things up royally. Obviously CBS doesn't care. As for this absolutely superior series, things should crank up dramatically from now on. Lots of loose ends to wrap up. Yes, RJ has outsmarted Jane every time and Jane's hallucinations are telling him he needs to come to terms with this. His family is lost to him permanently and all the belladonna in the world won't bring them back. As soon as they do another episode with Brett Stiles, it should become clear where the show is heading. Stiles is either RJ or his 1st in command. There are many "Red Johns" who do the killing. It may be that Timothy Carter is the particular "Red John" who killed Jane's family. That should help Jane keep his sanity. Right now, he's losing it.

Bosnia and Herzegovina coach Safet Susic felt referee Peter O'Leary and his assistants played a key role in the 1-0 defeat by Nigeria which ended their World Cup campaign.
Peter Odemwingie scored the only goal of the game in the 29th minute when he converted from close range after Emmanuel Emenike out-muscled Emir Spahic on the right flank.
But it was the offside flag which was incorrectly raised against Edin Dzeko eight minutes earlier in the first half when he beat Vincent Enyeama only to have his effort chalked off which irked Susic.
Bosnia's first-ever World Cup adventure is over even before their final Group F clash against Iran, with Susic pointing the finger at the trio of New Zealand officials.
"I was told there was no offside but it's not the first or last time a referee has made a bad decision at this World Cup and it won't be the last," said the 59-year-old.
"We lost to a good side, Nigeria played better than against Iran."
Susic was also left to rue his players' failure to convert numerous scoring chances, but made sure to congratulate Nigeria for their accomplishment.
He said: "The match unfolded exactly the way I imagined. It was an open game, two teams wishing to win, lots of chances at either end.
"We had a lot of chances and didn't convert any. They had one and scored that goal. I can only congratulate them.
"We knew they would be tough but they surprised us with their speed, their movement. They played attacking football, they really wanted to win.
"Now they are in second place in the group with a great chance to progress."
Dzeko could have snatched a point in the closing seconds, only to see his shot on the turn saved by Enyeama before striking the post.

In the heat and pressure of an NFL season, Sam Bradford shows he's made of steel.
Story: By Amy de la Hunt
Photos: Photos by Tuan Lee
When Sam Bradford turns 24 on Nov. 8, the only thing on his mind will be week 10 of his second NFL season. The birthday celebration will have to wait until after the Rams play their final game of the year—because their starting quarterback is strictly business.
Bradford's rookie year in 2010 was marked by highlights—a record number of passes completed by a first-year QB (354), the Rams' Rookie of the Year award, the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and a perfect record for taking every snap. He threw a string of 174 passes without an interception, another NFL rookie record, and led the team to seven wins, setting expectations high for his second year.
Then he was knocked out of the first 2011 game with an injured finger. If you were superstitious—and Bradford admits he is—it could have been an omen that Season 2 was not going to be an easy one.
Even after his successful college career as an Oklahoma Sooner, which included two national championship games and a Heisman Trophy as a sophomore, Bradford has found that being a Ram doesn't come without its challenges. All the team's fans (not to mention the coaches and his fellow players) are waiting to start the year. Based on his leadership during the lockout over the summer, when he helped run practices and implement a new offensive approach without
any coaches present, it's clear that Bradford is up to the challenge.
For an ultra-competitive guy like Bradford, the best way to overcome a tough schedule and on-field miscues is to practice harder, watch more film and go over more game plans. That's why his daily routine involves driving his "dream pickup" (a black crew-cab Ford F150 4x4) to work and back…and, at least for now, not much else. Not even his off-season passion for golf will get in the way; Bradford left his clubs in his native Oklahoma City when he returned to St. Louis for training camp.
The quarterback sounds more like a young workaholic than a first-round draft pick who signed a six-year, $78 million deal. With a maximum value of $86 million, it's the largest ever for an NFL rookie. But Bradford also sounds like the kind of hard-working guy you'd want leading your team as you rebuild toward every player's dream—the Super Bowl.
ALIVE: How do you like St. Louis?
Sam Bradford: I actually really like it here. St. Louis is much larger than Oklahoma City, so I'm kind of having to adjust to living in a bigger city. Sometimes the traffic is a little much. I wish I had been here a little bit more in the off-season so I could have explored more, because during the season, I pretty much go from my house [in Clayton] to work and back every day, so that's about all I see.
ALIVE: You went back to Oklahoma after last season?
SB: I have a house in Norman, which is where the university is. I moved back in with my college roommates, so that was good.
ALIVE: Was it a little surreal, too?
SB: Yeah, it was definitely a little weird because I have a condo here and it's a lot nicer than my college house! [Laughs.] So going back really made me miss St. Louis at times.
ALIVE: What helps you feel more at home here?
SB: One of my buddies from back home moved up here with me, and that makes it nice to come home every night and have somebody to talk to and take my mind off football.
ALIVE: Did playing in the NFL live up to your expectations?
SB: Until you actually spend seven days a week for six months straight for however many hours a day looking at film and going over game plans, I don't think it's anything you can really prepare for. It takes so much time and effort to get prepared to play on Sundays, and then you have to go out and execute if you want to be a great player.
ALIVE: Has learning the new offense this year been a challenge?
SB: Last year, being a rookie, there were so many other things that I had to understand—defenses we were seeing, game week—I wasn't used to those and I didn't know what I had to do to get prepared. Now, having gone through a full year, I've figured out a lot of the other things, so it allowed me to concentrate on the offense this year.
ALIVE: What about rookie hazing?
SB: I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was! A.J. [Feeley], the veteran at my position, was really laid back. There were some other guys on the team whose position veterans made it a lot harder for them than I had it!
ALIVE: Has A.J. been a mentor for you?
SB: Yeah, A.J.'s been awesome. He's been in the league now for 11 years, so he's seen a lot of things. Pretty much everything I'm going through he's gone through at some point, so it's always nice to have someone there for you to bounce things off of, especially someone who has that learning experience.
ALIVE: How about some of the other veteran players?
SB: Steven [Jackson, running back and team captain] has been another guy who's been really helpful since Day 1. He told me he had my back and was going to support me in everything I did. There were times last year when he'd pull me aside and tell me things he was seeing that I could do better or that I was doing a good job of.
ALIVE: Who was your childhood quarterback hero?
SB: Kordell Stewart. I collected football cards, and somehow I really got into the Steelers. I liked Kordell because they called him "Slash." He could run and throw and all of that.
ALIVE: And now you're playing against some of the people you looked up
to as a kid.
SB: Every week, I line up against guys who've been in the league seven, eight, 10 years. Last year in Week 3, we played against Washington, and Donovan McNabb was playing quarterback. I thought it was pretty surreal. Even though you always want to win, I enjoy watching them because there are things I can pick up from them.
ALIVE: Do you have any superstitions before the game?
SB: There's a lot of them! For one, I never wear socks before a game.
ALIVE: What are things outside football that you're interested in?
SB: I like to play a lot of golf during the off-season. Anytime the weather is halfway decent and warm enough for me to be outside, I'm probably at the golf course.
ALIVE: You were a high school basketball and golf star, too. How did you pick football?
SB: My dad played football at Oklahoma, and I grew up going to all the games—we had season tickets—so it was always my dream to play football there. When I had the opportunity to do that, I knew it's what I wanted to do.
ALIVE: This is ALIVE's Men of Style issue...
SB: Wow! [Laughs.]
ALIVE: So we'd like to talk about your personal style. Let's start with your haircut.
SB: I grow it out every year.
ALIVE: You don't get it cut during the season?
SB: I don't get it cut. I have a bet with a couple of teammates that the first one to cut their hair loses, so I can't lose.
