33. Mammalian adaptations to human-dominated landscapes Coulson, Australia; Baker, Reading
Multi-scale effects of agricultural intensification on wild-living lagomorphs: implications for conservation and management P. Wheeler, (email@example.com), Uni. Hull, Scarborough, Scarborough, UK, S. Petrovan, (firstname.lastname@example.com), L. Lush, (firstname.lastname@example.com), A. Ward, (firstname.lastname@example.com), Animal Health & Vet. Lab.
Understanding the way wild-living mammals interact with domestic stock at field and landscape scales is critical to sustainable management of mammalian biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. In Britain, as in much of Europe, European brown hares have declined markedly with agricultural intensification, particularly in pastures, while European rabbits have increased and are a significant pest. This paper presents a synthesis of our studies on the correlates of hare and rabbit distribution in pasture-dominated landscapes aimed at understanding the drivers of change in the two species at field and landscape scales. Hares were positively associated with a limited number of characteristics of less intensive farming while rabbits were associated with a number of intensive practices. The ability to partition aspects of intensification and their effects on species of conservation or pest status in this way may allow us to maintain mammalian biodiversity and avoid problems with pests in productive landscapes.
4. Environmental signals, population outbreaks and the collapse of multiannual cycles Lambin, Aberdeen; Reid, Belfast; Huitu, Suonenjoki
Regional synchrony in the 9-10 Year Cycle of Snowshoe Hares in North-western North America C. Krebs, (email@example.com), Uni.British Columbia. Canada, R. Boonstra, (email@example.com), Uni. Toronto, Canada, S. Boutin, (firstname.lastname@example.com), Uni.Alberta, Canada Snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) fluctuate in 9-10 year cycles throughout much of their North American range. Regional synchrony has been assumed to be the rule, so that hare populations in virtually all of northwestern North America should fluctuate in phase. We gathered qualitative and quantitative data on hare numbers in the boreal forest regions of Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and northern British Columbia to describe synchrony in the time window of 1970 to 2012. Synchrony was strong from 1970 to 1995 but then seemed to break down in different parts of this region. Hare populations at peripheral sites in Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories lagged by 1-2 years during the 2000s cycle, and the movement of predators is the simplest hypothesis to account for the observed differences. A traveling wave of these cycles is clearly seen in both lynx fur returns and hare densities from western Canada and Alaska.
Historical tipping point in hare population cycles attributed to the additive effects of early climatic and agricultural change N. Reid, (email@example.com), Queen's Uni.Belfast, UK, J. Brommer, (email@example.com), Uni.Helsinki, Finland, N.-C. Stenseth, (firstname.lastname@example.com), Uni.Oslo, Norway, W.I. Montgomery, (email@example.com) Animal populations at Northern latitudes, most notably hares, are renowned for their complex cyclical dynamics. Hare populations at more southerly latitudes have recently been characterised by dramatic declines in abundance. We demonstrate that the hare population in Ireland exhibited a distinct regime shift from a dynamical structure typical of Northern populations from 1853-1908, during which numbers were stable but cyclic with a periodicity of 8 years, to one typical of southern populations from 1909-1969, in which cyclicity was lost and numbers declined dramatically (-87%). A destablisation in the dynamic structure of the autumn Northern Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) led to the synchronous collapse of a similar dynamic in the hare population coincident with the onset of agricultural intensification. Similar regime shifts have been observed in Arctic systems since the 1980s and attributed to recent climate change but we show that such shifts occurred at lower latitudes more than a century ago
39. Modes of Communication: olfactory, touch and vocal signals
Levonorgestrel and quinestrol depressed the expression of NADPH - Cytochrome P450 Oxidoreductase in kidneys of plateau pikas Z. Wang, (firstname.lastname@example.com), Zhengzhou Uni., Zhengzhou, China, Y. Zhang, (email@example.com), Northwest Plateau Inst.Biology, Chinese Acad. Sci., Xining, China CPR plays an important role in the metabolism of a wide range of chemicals and drugs. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of infertility agents on the expression of CPR in plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae). Forty healthy adult pikas were used for the experiment. Animals were divided into four groups: control, quinestrol group, levonorgestrel group and EP-1 group. The results are as follows: a CPR genomic fragment of 2038 bp of O. curzoniae was amplified and sequenced (accession No. 1021728). Plateau zokor CPR mRNA shares 92% homology with mice and rat, 93% with human, and 100% with rabbit CPR mRNA. Selective pressure analysis identified 11 sites to be under positive selection. One-way ANOVA showed that infertility agents impacted on the expressions of CPR in the kidney (F4, 28 = 7.743, P <0.001). Our study confirmed that infertility agents depressed the expression of CPR in plateau pikas.

Transition area in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: characterization of the mammal fauna in the Jequitinhonha Valley L. Geise, (firstname.lastname@example.com), Uni.do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, D. Astúa, (firstname.lastname@example.com), UFPE, P.H. Asfora, (email@example.com), L. Azamor, Uni. Veiga de Almeida Jequitinhonha River is one of the main rivers in eastern Brazil, with vegetation and climate changing along the valley. Surveys from 2005 to 2012 in museums, literature and field work on both river banks, in all ecorregions, provided data for 36 left and 31 right banks with 63 species; 11 Didelphimorphia, 3 Cingulata, 11 Primates, 1 Lagomorpha, 3 Carnivora and 34 Rodentia. mtDNA sequences analyses of Akodon cursor, Oecomys catherinae, Rhipidomys mastacalis (Rodentia) and Metachirus nudicaudatus (Didelphimorphia) population indicates differentiation along a latitudinal gradient, with a discontinuity south/north from Jequitinhonha Valley as found in Cerradomys spp., Alouatta spp. (Primates) and the lizard Coleodactylus meridionalis. Sympatry among species of Monodelphis, Didelphis and Gracilinanus (Didelphimorphia) are reported. Among rodent species, new karyotypes and morphology suggest new species, and different karyotypes were observed in A. cursor and N. squamipes. Reproduction data provides new information.
8. Mammal-plant interactions Winkler, Hamburg; Schulz, Hamburg
The more the merrier? Interactive effects of plateau pikas and Himalayan marmots on alpine meadow plant diversity on the Tibetan Plateau Y. Zhang, (email@example.com), Northwest Inst. Plateau Biology, Chinese Acad.Sci., China, J. Qu (firstname.lastname@example.com), W. Ji, (email@example.com), Massey Uni., New Zealand, J.C. Russell, (email@example.com), Uni. Auckland, New Zealand Burrowing mammals play keystone functional roles in grassland ecosystems. Recognising interactive effects where herbivores co-exist is important for guiding grassland restoration and biodiversity conservation. On the Tibetan Plateau, both plateau pikas and Himalayan marmots are regarded as pests, but little is known about their interactive effects. We conducted an experimental field study to determine the interactive effects of pika and marmot on plant biodiversity and vegetation structure. Plateau pikas alone consistently reduced plant height and diversity significantly, increased vegetation cover of physically unpalatable plants. However, the co-existence of marmots with pikas decreased vegetation cover of physically unpalatable plants, while increasing cover of palatable plants and plant diversity, ultimately offsetting the impact of pikas alone and modulating aspects of the plant community. These results illustrate that increasing the abundance and richness of small mammals in alpine meadow will promote plant diversity and benefit vegetation restoration rather than aggravate degradation of grassland.
27/28. Climate change impacts: mitigation, restoration and novel ecosystems Hallett; Eastern Washington Univ.; Valentine, Univ.Western Australia
Quantifying the impact of climate change on the Order Lagomorpha K. Leach, (firstname.lastname@example.com), Quercus, Queen's Uni.Belfast, Belfast, UK, W.I. Montgomery, (email@example.com), A. Cameron, (firstname.lastname@example.com), N. Reid, (email@example.com) Species distribution modelling is used to estimate the likely distribution of species by relating recorded occurrences to environmental variables. Once speciesenvironment relationships are quantified they can be used to predict species distributions outside the initial study area or over time to inform conservation management. Such models can predict responses to climate change and may be developed to include other ecological factors, such as interspecific interactions. The Order Lagomorpha is comprised of 87 species and is very successful in a wide variety of habitats; nonetheless, a quarter of lagomorph species are threatened with extinction. Many occur in the Arctic or at high elevations, whilst others inhabit deserts, thus making them particularly vulnerable to the impacts of projected climate change. We report the likely changes in the bioclimatic envelope predicted using maximum entropy modelling for four species, which represent Arctic, desert, montane and forest habitats.

Most people would find themselves in a state of rage after an event like this especially if they were seriously injured and their vehicle was severely damaged.
The city of West Point is giving Comcast only a few more weeks to act on a service contract with the city before the city passes a resolution to remove all of Comcast's attachments on city-owned utility poles.
Paying only $1.50 per pole is no longer an option and is no longer acceptable to the city, which is now asking Comcast to sign a contract through which Comcast would pay $15 per pole. If Comcast officials don't act soon the city of West Point is ready to detach all Comcast attachments from city poles and negotiate with other cable and Internet service providers.
Longtime West Point Businessman Mike Garnett, owner of Mike Garnett Enterprises, expressed his opposition Tuesday to the city of West Point charging the minimum set rates for electricity and water services for properties that only need services for a few days.

Chrome OS: Google's Chromium Arrives (Gallery)
The source code for Chrome OS, alias Chromium, the Linux-based operating system developed by Google, is now ready for download.
Having been announced months ago and followed up by many questions as to features, availability and supporting companies, Google's Chrome OS has now officially stepped into the operating system market. At first glance the completely Web- and browser-based platform doesn't quite meet expectations in terms of the great revolution it promised.
Google primarily sees its operating system deployed on secondary systems. In a webcast to accompany the launch, netbooks were all the talk. Google promises that devices running Chromium will be out by end of 2010. The devices should be somewhat larger than the usual netbooks with their maximum 12" display and should have a complete keyboard.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: George R Bergus, MD, MA (Ed) (University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine)
Description: With this book and DVD, the editors set out to provide medical educators with a "practical guide to developing evaluation systems." In pursuit of this goal they have recruited 18 different authors who have written the 14 chapters.
Purpose: Assessing medical learners, particularly their clinical skills, has rightfully gained greater emphasis over the past decade. No longer should clinical competence be assumed after success on a test of declarative knowledge. Possessing knowledge and being able to apply the knowledge in the proper clinical setting are quite different.
Audience: This book is an important resource for physicians and other medical educators involved in training physicians. The authors are widely recognized experts in their fields, but few non-U.S. experts are represented in the list of contributors, which is surprising as much of the breakthrough work on assessing clinical competence has occurred in Canada and Western Europe.
Features: The chapters detail important assessment tools which might be used to construct a comprehensive evaluation system, including direct observation by faculty, portfolios, practice audits, and multisource feedback. A chapter also covers the theoretical basis of assessment with an emphasis on validity and reliability. Each chapter ends with an annotated bibliography and a complete list of references which will aid further study. The DVD contains video recordings of doctor-patient interactions designed to help educators refine their observation skills. In addition to chapters about assessing medical learners, a very helpful chapter discusses how to help underperforming learners after they are identified. Most chapters emphasize assessing learners in residencies and many of the examples and sample forms are most relevant to internal medicine residents. While much of the book is applicable to medical students, a third year clerkship director might find it challenging to employ some of the content.
Assessment: This book should be in the library of any medical educator who is responsible for assuring that the trainees in a residency program are gaining the expected level of clinical competence. Medical educators will find this book not only authoritative, but also practical; there are few books that offer this balance. The editors clearly meet their goal.

RG3 getting more snaps at practice
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
Robert Griffin III is getting more work at Washington Redskins training camp.
- Steelers WR Burress out for season
- Season over for injured Saints duo
- Packers LT Bulaga opts for surgery
- Second Eagles wideout tears ACL
- Chargers WR Alexander tears ACL
- 49ers CB Culliver tears ACL
- Seahawks' Harvin needs surgery
- Eagles WR Maclin tears ACL
- Ravens TE Pitta out for season
- Photos: NFL major injuries
Coach Mike Shanahan said the quarterback had about ''16 or 17'' snaps Wednesday during 7-on-7 drills.
That's an increase from eight snaps the first few days and 10 snaps the next few days as Griffin works back into shape following reconstructive knee surgery.
Griffin got the extra work Wednesday even though the practice was held in steady rain on a field that's already showing considerable wear and tear. Several other players returning from offseason injuries were given the practice off.
Shanahan noted that he's still withholding Griffin from 11-on-11 drills.
Also, cornerback DeAngelo Hall is no longer wearing a boot on his sprained right ankle. He's expected to be sidelined at least a few more days.

really everything
ottimo hotel. tutto ok.
I can honestly say that this was one of the best hotel experiences ever. I have stayed in numerous hotel of this kind all over the world for both business and pleasure and One Aldwych really excelled. The fact that the hotel is in the heart of London made the stay even more pleasant as the whole atmosphere provided an oasis of calm.
The Hotel and facilities are excellent. It's a very hip place to be, especially in the week when the young trendy business types are in town. Quieter on the weekends. I had a bit of a disaster at the hotel involving motorcycle parking but the hotel staff were truly excellent in putting the situation right. True service is measured when something goes wrong and these guys were exemplary.
need to rename the spa from "health club"
Our room was the size of a closet (I know it was London and to be expected, but tiny nonetheless) and the plumbing was shoddy....overall a bit disappointing.
Hotel accomodation and service was very good, but had cause to complain on the food quality in the Indigo restaurant albeit that our complaint was properly addressed and also followed up by senior management.
it was a very pleasant stay. the service was overhelmingly good (the concierge managed to get me a table at umu, which normaly has one week waiting list). i still prefer staying at the sanderson.
This is becoming my favourite hotel in London. Everything excellent. Rooms are smallish but excellently and attractively fitted. Free Wireless Internet is a refreshing change. Staff can't do enough for you. Bar are area is buzzing, especially in theearly evening. Overall, terrific.
Great place to stay, the most friendly, helpful and efficient staff we have ever encountered in England....
Fantastic service--everyone, from the waiters in the lobby bar to the concierge to the maids, went out of their way to accommodate us, and did so in the most charming way possible. The room was a bit on the small side, but elegantly appointed.
Fantastic Hotel in a fantastic location

Film Title: Moebius
Dir: Kim Ki-duk
Country: South Korea
Genre: Drama Year: 2013
Kim Ki-duk is a frightening filmmaker. Korean films are violent, bizarre and quite frankly messed up to begin with, and Kim's films are unsettling even by Korean cinema standards. Those who have seen his earlier films will testify to Kim's dark mind. His film Bad Guy dealt with the themes of love and empathy through prostitution, 3-Iron dealt with finding love through crime, last year's Pieta dealt with finding love through karma. All of his films chronicle similar subject matter and he establishes his themes with ridiculously dark treatment. And yet, nothing will prepare you for the shock level and audacity of his new movie Moebius. A viewer at the 2013 Venice film festival passed out due to the film's shock value, and several others had to leave the hall because they couldn't stomach the craziness happening on the screen.
To understand Moebius, you need to be familiar with The Moebius Strip. It's essentially a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The simple definition is that the strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable, which means you will be able to run your fingers through the strip without detaching your finger from the surface of the strip. The strip is a loop, it ends where it begins, and every point is connected to every other point in the entire strip. Kim applies this property to the state of contemporary human nature, and the results are baffling, shocking, awe-inspiring and brilliant.
To get into the plot details of Moebius means spoiling the entire film. All you need to do about it is that it chronicles a family — a really, excruciatingly dysfunctional family in a South Korean suburb. The family, on the surface, is like any other average bunch of human. Behind closed doors, it's hell. And by hell, I mean unimaginable hell. We're talking about the man of the house cheating on his wife, who attempts to dismember certain body parts of his as revenge. And when she fails, she is so disturbed that she attempts to endanger the life of their son. It's a great takedown of society in Korea and other Southeast Asian countries where it is still an imperialist rule under the garb of a democracy. The more you pressurise humans, the darker they become from the inside and the more violent the consequences.
And the consequences of the actions of the family in Moebius reach mind-boggling levels. Kim drills into the psyche of mentally fractured characters with the brutality of a Nazi, and yet with an extremely comedic tone. There are scenes in the film which make you squirm in your seat, and still somehow make you laugh due to their sheer audacity. When a character loses his genitals, he discovers on the internet that a way to achieve gratification is by injuring oneself in certain regions of the body. There are various sequences involving the character trying to find happiness in his life by wounding himself, and they're all hilarious and devastating at the same time. But what makes Moebius great is that it treats such schlocky elements with deeply layered, poetic manner. It's like Kim sat down one afternoon and watched a lot of snuff films and decided to make a masterpiece comedy drama immediately after.
One big reason why Moebius works in its demented levels of storytelling is the acting. The performers are extremely good, totally committed and fully knowledgeable of the film's philosophical themes. A band of lesser actors would have turned the film into an ugly mess. It's not surprising for fans of Kim — he just manages to extract great performances in films that don't have a huge story. Like his previous films, Moebius is all about characters and less about plot. It's all about the human condition than about entertainment. The inexplicable part is, you'd be sort of entertained by this film, despite its subject matter. And then you'll wonder if you need to visit a shrink. And that is the genius of Kim Ki-duk.

Hello Light Anti-Aging Luminizing Crème Stick enlivens skin with a pearlescent glow. The creamy, twist-up stick blends on super smooth while imparting a light-reflective quality that illuminates skin. More to love: The shimmering finish sparkles without the use of overt glitter and wears well under or over foundation. Now this is the kind of face shine we can get behind!
True to name, the fragrance-free formula includes a bevy of anti-agers such as antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients, but this won't replace your need for getting those ingredients as part of a good skin-care routine.
All in all, this is an attractive and easy-to-use highlighter. However, those with deeper skin tones may find that the subtle white cast this leaves doesn't blend in as well with their natural skin color.
Note: The creamy texture and inclusion of several wax-based thickeners make this highlighting stick best for normal to dry skin that's not prone to breakouts, or just be sure to only apply this over areas where breakouts aren't an issue.
Illuminates skin with an elegant, shimmering finish.
Creamy formula blends on smoothly under or over foundation.
Easy-to-use, twist-up stick.
The subtle white cast may appear more obvious on deep skin tones.
Strengths: Vitality Cheek Flush; Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Treatment Mascara; Hello Light Anti-Aging Creme Illuminator; Vitality Lip Flush.
Weaknesses: Most IT Cosmetics products are overpriced; the loose-powder products tend to be quite messy; unimpressive eyeshadows; over-inflated anti-aging claims for a majority of the products in the line; the serum seems impressive, but comes up short on its anti-aging promises.
IT Cosmetics (the IT stands for "Innovative Technology") is the creation of Jamie Kern Lima, a former Miss USA pageant contestant and TV news anchor. Lima founded IT Cosmetics in 2008, selling her products in boutique stores and on QVC, then expanding into Canada in 2009. Since then, the line has gotten a lot of exposure with featured reports and stories on network television, including prominent mentions on the ABC reality show Dancing With the Stars.
Other than this abundant television exposure, the main draw of IT Cosmetics is its claim that the company works with leading plastic surgeons from Brazil to create products containing the very latest anti-aging technologies. That sounds intriguing, but is a bit silly when you consider that most plastic surgeons don't know anything about skin care or cosmetic ingredient research. Consulting a cosmetic surgeon about anti-aging formularies is like consulting a taxi driver about how to fly an airplane! You'd think Lima and her team would instead want to consult a dermatologist, but even that's not a slam-dunk for ensuring your anti-aging products are a cut above the rest, given that dermatologists also are not trained in skin-care formulations.
The labels on most IT Cosmetics products reveal a variety of age-defying claims centered around ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, vitamins, and collagen. Those are indeed great ingredients, but because many of IT Cosmetics' products are packaged in containers that expose these delicate ingredients to light and air, any benefit is reduced as soon as you open the jar or compact (something the plastic surgeons from Brazil obviously didn't know).
There are also some distinct weaknesses in the line, including an average yet pricey eyebrow pencil, powder illuminator, and eyeshadow whose performances don't justify the expense (especially not when you factor in the high shipping fees QVC charges).
Of course, IT Cosmetics also has some products that are worth checking out. The line boasts an excellent powder blush, mascara, creme illuminator, hydrating cream lipstick, and many other products—including a full-coverage concealer that is truly full coverage—that are very good. However, while these products are good, they are not so unique that similar products can't be found elsewhere for less money. As with any line that has a mix of good, so-so, and bad products, shopping using our reviews to guide you is a great way to ensure you'll at least get your money's worth, and your skin will be the better for it.

Don't blame him for class balance, because he had absolutely nothing to do with it. He did a great job working on quests, outdoor zones, dungeons, raids etc.
Finally he's left!HE was the guy that destroyed World of WARcraft. from beta onwards, after all the devs had left / got fired.Carebear EQ #$%^&. >.<
World of Rock n Roll Racing !
I don't even know how you guys can be arguing over the topic with a picture like that in the blog post. I seriously lost any sense of comprehension after seeing that thing. Where do you find these atrocities, Malgayne? Some sort of Google image search from hell? D:
Planet of the Gnomes FTW lol
To the nerdragers: Simmer down.
I think WoW has maybe one expansion left in it before Blizzard has to either revamp everything (including the graphical engine and the Old World content) or introduce a successor to WoW.The former option will be hard to justify to their money-sucking Activision overlords, and if they go the second route, now is when they need to get going in order to launch a worthy follow-up to Wow within 5 years or so.Sure, it could be a Starcraft MMO, but sci-fi is risky, and the entire player base likes fantasy and already knows WoW. Each WoW expansion has brought significant changes and new ideas to the game, and I'm sure Blizzard's designers are brimming with ideas of how they would do things differently if they could start over. I imagine they'd also set it in a different time period, maybe 100 years later, so they could create new lore and new storylines.
WoW is steaming down the track to the EZ mode train wreck. Casual players are beginning to voice the same complaints as "hardcores". With the pressure to expand their subscription base, Blizzard seems committed to make thing easier not harder. Even if it remains a minority, "soon" the number of people who are sufficiently dissatisfied with WoW will be more than larger enough to support a new MMO. Early adopters tend to be more hard core than the broad player base. So it makes perfect sense to roll out a new game that they can switch to. Blizzard keeps their subscription base (over all). Can continue the EZ mode track with WoW and expand that player base and keep the anti-EZ mode folks happy with a new game.
World of pillowfightcraft...
The stark omission in his post is that he didn't name a direct replacement. Two thoughts enter my mind:
Actually he is acting as if that position is a key one on the development team and if Blizzard isnt replacing that position it may mean WoW is nearing its end as far as new content goes.I would say it as of yet much too early to speculate much on this.
Personally, I'm holding out for...World of Papercraft.World of Hello Kitty Islandcraft. (the forums have been championing hello kitty island for so long, you know it's coming!)Money Sponge 2
I didn't bother reading any posts but the OP, but I'm glad captain poopsock left the building. Originally he had much more of a role in deveolpment during vanilla and somewhat during BC, but it was Tom Chilton who was calling the shots during late BC and throughout WoTLK. And through that transition the game has only gotten less poopsock MMO like, and more like a standard online game that is played massively, which I'm sure most people like (considering the few people who play hardcore mmos like EvE in comparsion to WoW, most people don't want to have to poopsock to have fun).In the next year I expect the game to get much much better now that he's gone, but I worry for the next MMO, and I seriously doubt that it'll pass WoW's epicness.

Reader Feedback: Virtual PC 2004 vs. VMWare

"The only difference I found between the VPC and VS is that VS needs IIS and VPC only runs on 2000/XP. I did run the customer preview of Virtual Server, but after attending a Microsoft seminar where we used VPC, I decided to buy it. I have had no stability issues. I have run a whole slew of different configs and have them backed up to DVD-R to J. I have a Virtual PC setup on a server as a 2003 Terminal Server and have clients log on to do software testing. It has an uptime of 14 days now and still runs strong. http://vpc.visualwin.com/ has compiled a list of all tested OSes. Though not as powerful as VMWare, it lacks in the hardware configuration and network configuration area, I have found it to be a viable option. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/. There is a free 45 day trial available."
Thus, it looks like you should be able to do what you want with the lower-priced product, despite my apparently erroneous guess otherwise. I'm glad I asked the other reader who used both products in your question, because now we both know the right answer.

The Secret History of Climate Alarmism
A very German story of power politics disguised as environmentalism
Aug 9, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 44 • By JOHN ROSENTHAL
But a funny thing happened on the way to the Kyoto Protocol. The German plans to unite all the industrialized countries in a common effort to reduce "greenhouse gas" emissions gave rise to a treaty that placed the overwhelming bulk of the emissions reduction burden on the United States and, to a lesser extent, Japan.
American criticism of the protocol has typically focused on the pass given to major industrializing nations like China and India. The treaty creates no concrete obligations for so-called developing countries. Only the 39 countries named in Annex I of the framework convention are assigned emissions reduction or limitation targets. All other parties to the agreement got, in effect, a free ride. Indeed, some are even paid to ride. By participating in what is known as the Clean Development Mechanism, developing countries may actually earn revenue under the Kyoto arrangements by selling "carbon credits" to countries with treaty obligations.
But the fact is that even many "Annex I" countries have no obligation to reduce their emissions under the Kyoto arrangements. Some are even expressly permitted to increase them. This group includes not only Australia and Norway, but also, thanks to an ancillary agreement, several EU member states. Others are only required to keep their emissions stable. Still others are assigned nominal emissions reduction targets, which, however, on closer inspection turn out to be de facto licenses to increase their emissions. Perhaps most remarkably of all, Germany—the would-be pacesetter in the global effort to reduce emissions—ended up having at most only a relatively trivial reduction requirement under Kyoto.
To understand how this could be so—and, above all, how it could have been so widely overlooked—we should return to the German commission of inquiry's report and consider the date of its submission. October 2, 1990. One day later, German reunification took place. When the commission proposed its ambitious target of a 30 percent reduction in CO2 emissions for Germany and other "economically strong industrialized countries," the inevitable demise of East Germany's highly inefficient, enormously carbon-intensive industries was already underway. This is significant because the commission also proposed backdating the reference year for measuring emissions reductions to a year before the actual coming into force of the treaty. The reference year that would finally be settled upon was none other than 1990.
This reference year assured Germany a substantial carbon savings windfall from the phasing out of East Germany's obsolete industrial infrastructure. According to official statistics, from 1990 to 1995 CO2 emissions in the eastern German states fell by a whopping 44 percent.
Germany was, moreover, not the only country to benefit from its statistical good fortune. A little-known feature of the Kyoto agreement permitted Germany to "share" its windfall with other European countries. The Bundestag's commission of inquiry had called on the German government to establish a common emissions reduction target with its EU partners. The actual individual contributions of each of the countries could vary and were to be decided amongst themselves. Article 4 of the Kyoto Protocol is clearly designed to accommodate such an arrangement—known as a "bubble" among Kyoto cognoscenti.
Thus, under the terms agreed in Kyoto in 1997, each of the 15 countries that then comprised the EU is nominally committed to reducing emissions by 8 percent from 1990 levels. But, thanks to their formation of a "bubble," in reality the "EU-15" are only committed to collectively reducing their emissions by 8 percent. The real individual commitments of each of the countries were agreed upon prior to their ratification of Kyoto in 2002. It should be noted that, in keeping with yet another German initiative, the emissions reduction targets concern not just CO2, but rather a bundle of "greenhouse gases" of which CO2 is the most important component. The addition of the other gases further improved Germany's emissions record.
Germany agreed to a 21 percent reduction in emissions. This was a far cry from the 30 percent reduction in CO2 emissions alone that the commission had recommended. It was also less than a 25 percent emissions reduction goal that the German government had set for itself. Nonetheless, a 21 percent reduction seems on first glance to represent a very generous contribution.

Danny Gokey hasn't just set his sights on landing a recording contract once the American Idol summer tour is over. He wants an eyewear deal as well.
"I want to come out with a line of glasses," says the third-place finisher, known for his fashionable array of eyewear. "And hopefully somehow tie into the foundation [his deceased wife Sophia's Heart Foundation]. Maybe some of the proceeds can help whatever we try to do for the foundation. I would really like to start a Danny line or a Gokey line."
Danny says he started out the season of Idol with only 15 pairs of glasses, but since appearing on the show, "glasses have been raining out of the sky," and he's up to more than 50 pairs.
He also says he'd like to model.
In addition to having his own line of eyewear, the Milwaukee singer says he'd jump at the chance to model glasses as well. "I would love to be an eyeglass model. I'm serious," he says. "That would be so cool. I haven't been offered anything yet, because I'm just leaving the American Idol bubble right now. I hope I made glasses cool for kids. That was kind of the word that I got on the street—that kids were kind of excited to wear glasses again."
In case it wasn't clear: "On the record, I would love to do anything glasses-wise," he adds.
Oh, and for the record, the heart that Danny's been making with his hands all season? That has nothing to do with the LensCrafters commercials featuring the same symbol. It's just a coincidence, Danny insists: "It has no affiliation with a glasses company." Instead, the singer says the heart symbol stems from a photo of a child doing that symbol that's been up on his website, www.sophiasheart.org, since December 2008.
"It's my symbol for my music," he explains. "It has no affiliation with a glasses company. I did some research on it, and they started their campaign April 16."
Now we'll have to see if fans heart Danny's eyewear as much as they do the singer himself.

Really bad out there!. +30K with 40K gusts on one of the worst and more dangerous places to have strong winds: The Biscay.
The two mod 70 after that mad cavalcade during a good part of the night are out of the bad weather. They managed not to broke the boats and are out of Biscay.
All the others are still battling sea conditions. As I had previewed that the Open60 on those conditions would close on the Multi 50 and the duo wonder eat them all
and is way ahead of everybody. To give an idea of the conditions it is enough to say that with 30k wind the Open 60 are only making 10k. With the power those boats have you can imagine the pounding they are suffering.
Those two (Gabart/Dejoieux) seem to be untouchable. All other boats have a top sailor and a very good sailor. Macif is the only one with not only two top sailors (and probably the best)as it is one if not the fastest Open 60 on the race. It is not fair
I have said also that these conditions took away some of the advantage of the fastest boats creating more equal conditions and we can see some of the slower boats with a fantastic performance: That's the case with Alessandro de Benedetto that with the older boat (1998) and without canting keel is making a great race and leaving well behind more modern boats like Energa (2007) or Tanguy de la Motte (also with a 1998 boat). That guy deserves a more modern boat.

Legislation left undone as Congress takes off
Both the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee have approved bills to end Cold War restrictions and extend permanent normal trade relations to Russia. Normalizing trade with Russia is a top priority of U.S. business groups because on Aug. 22 Russia will enter the World Trade Organization and without congressional action, American exporters will not be able to take advantage of the lowering of tariffs and other trade barriers that will accompany WTO membership. Economists estimate that U.S. sales to Russia, now about $9 billion a year, could double within five years if trade is normalized. Congress left without taking up the legislation, although House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the House was prepared to consider the bill in September. To satisfy lawmakers concerned about Russia's human rights record, the trade bill has been linked to legislation that would punish Russian officials involved in human rights violations. But there is still resistance to improving relations with Russia at a time when the Moscow government is threatening U.S. missile defenses in Europe and aiding the Assad government in Syria.

Department of Corrections: Is It Wrong?
The Department of Corrections. We all know it as jail/prison. Before I get all the hate, this doesn't include murderers. Let's use... Scammers. Say a scammer gets caught. They've profited $50,000 scamming innocent people. He is sent to jail for a certain period of time and is let out after he "served".
Isn't the department supposed to correct the public? The way I see it, it's a way to make money. Look at the CCA. They're a business. Prisoners are given a price tag and are used for profits in the company. Back to the scammer. Say he rehabilitated himself and proved he was better. His sentence was 20 years, he got better in 5 years. He's still incarcerated for 15 years before he can get out of the walls (with the exception of parole and escapists). Do you believe this is wrong or corrupt? I do...

The problem with your argument regarding CCA is that the CCA is a private corporation that contracts with the government and manages the prisons that they build. However, they are still subject to the same legal system that the prisons built by the states and federal government are; the management itself however is taken care of by the company. There are also very strict guidelines that a government contractor must meet in order to maintain their status as a contractor. For example, staff must undergo certain types of training and for required number of hours and receive certifications to continue their employment. Guards and others that will be in direct contact with inmates must have official and recognized training and certification to work with them and also to carry firearms(which they must receive from the government). SO yes, the CCA is a business and they are in it to make a profit; but that does not necessarily mean that their position in this is immoral or wrong, it just means that they have found a way to profit(legally) from crime.
Although not related, the DOD contracts with private businesses to build housing on all of the bases around the world and the housing(at least on US bases) is pretty nice and better than what the government would be able to provide utilizing the construction battalions and rates within the military. This is not due to an inability; just that there aren't enough construction rates available for the demand of housing. The only issue I have noticed where this relationship becomes problematic is in regard to payment of rent for these homes. For some reason, the contract allows for the collection of a service member's full housing allowance for rent on a monthly basis. Sure, it sound reasonable initially, but the disparity in housing allowance across the DOD pay-scale can be stark and therefore the contractors are collecting different amounts of rent for the exact same floor plan. For example, if you're an E-5(with dependents) living on base housing in Maryland, your housing allowance is $1,908. And the contractor will make the $1,908 the rent for a typical 2bed/2bath home. Now if you're an O-3(with dependents), your housing allowance is $2,418, and the contractor will collect that entire amount for the same 2bed/2 bath home which might even be right next door to the E-5.
Anyway, I'm going to stop it there because this will turn into a novel.

At first, I was skeptical about using this foundation. I always would wear the same old, high-street foundation that I have used for years. Now that i have tried this, I am never going back! Best foundation ever!! You have to try. Natural, blendable, long-lasting, natural looking. Everything you want in a foundation and more. Must buy! :)Carly, London
This foundation does not sit in lines or pores. It is soft and moisturising, and after long wear does not feel itchy or dirty.Hilary, Cheshire
My skin looks so natural and beautiful with this foundation. It is expensive, but a little product goes a long way. I have the shade B00, super fair! It doesn't look or feel like I have foundation on. It just looks beautiful. The finish is semi-matte, or natural. I like to apply this with my fingers.Elisabeth, Norway
Best foundation ever. Correct shade gives a natural look that lasts all day. I use the stubby brush to apply.Penny Whittam, Wrexham
Like this product! It really erases my pores and makes perfect skin tone. It also doesn't contain oil, which is suitable for my combination skin. Has a matifiyng finish so I need no powder.Irina, Kiev

Evidence emerging from the study of epigenetics and epigenomics challenges notions of health by enhancing understanding of disease etiologies and improving awareness of new health risks. New paradigms arising from epigenetic and epigenomic research present challenging cases through which to debate theories of justice in health because they expand the concept of health and, controversially, place value on what was previously assumed to be 'healthy' individual variance. Discoveries of the dynamic nature of the epigenome and its variable sensitivity towards change in numerous phenomena add further complexity to the assessment of health inequalities. Such evidence can cast doubt on perceptions of justice in health, which in turn raises questions over the suitability of actions taken in pursuit of equity. This article discusses how recent developments in epigenetics and epigenomics may impact upon assessments of equity in health. A review of literature discussing possible health risks associated with acquired yet heritable epigenetic variance is used to highlight the diversity of possible pathways through which health may be influenced. From this context, the consideration of health risk with respect to epigenetics, it is argued, demands a more inclusive concept of health when used in discussions of inequities.

|Scal-a-bri-ne The P-R-O
|11.18.08 at 9:24 pm ET
It was late in the game and the ball swung to Brian Scalabrine in the corner. As they have every time the ball has found him in those situations, the crowd at the Garden began to rise. At times this year this reaction has seemed to un-nerve Scalabrine and made him think just an extra second, long enough for the shot to not be available to him any more.
This time, however, it wasn't the closing seconds of a blowout win. It was a close game against a division rival and the outcome was still very much in doubt. In other words, there was no time to think. "What we're trying to get Scal to do is just keep the game simple," his coach, Doc Rivers was saying after the game. "When you're open, shoot it. If not, pass it."
Scal was open. He shot it. And it went down. It was his third 3-pointer of the game and it was critical in the Celtics, 110-101 win over the Knicks Tuesday night.
And so, the evolution of Brian Scalabrine from scapegoat to curiosity to folk hero took another twist as everyone's favorite reserve stepped into the starting lineup for a suspended Kevin Garnett and not only helped the Celtics win a game against the Knicks, he also made perhaps the biggest shot of the night.

There is nothing the server can do to you at that point. Your focus it seems would be on the serviceline first and then the net person.
P.S....how did I do Cindy?
Yes, you are, of course correct. You
face one way and turn your head to look at multiple locations over the course of the flight of the serve.
My matches are not televised so I don't actually know for certain how much of my shifting is head vs footwork. My post was based on my assumption that I am doing a majority of my shifting using footwork. This is in part because I try to always be on the move, as my tactics include opportunity poaching (as opposed to called poaches).
But regardless, my point when speaking of "positioning" in my post, was more about where to stand on the court, not so much about which way to face once you are there.
