In your opinion, does GW2 live up to the Manifesto

Not only that, but the exploring will gain you experience as well. I was able to get a lvl just exploring Divinity's Reach, and had a good (not to mention informative) time doing so. At later lvls the gain may not make much of an impact, but under 10? Its very nice and can easily fill the lvl gaps in your personal story.

I think some people are confusing what was stated in the OP. The question isn't about if the games meets the hype, it's if the game complies with what was stated in the linked manifesto video.

I still need to play the Asura area ~ but in the human lands there's this beekeeper lady whose hives get attacked by bears and she's just amazing. She sounds like a post-menopause Winnie the Pooh.

Yes it is ok. Time is worth something. Effort is worth something. It doesn't matter if it's time and effort spent playing a video game, or time and effort spent at an actual job, they both have value. How the value of one is measured against the other depends greatly on the playerbase. Even without a cash shop of any kind, there would still be the translation of real cash to in-game currency through gold and account sellers, like in every other mmo. A cash shop simply represents a more visible, more palatable, and more easily controlled conversion that can directly benefit the game.

General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
So I went over the manifesto and what they promised ~ here's my opinions on what was claimed in the video:
- Defies existing convention -
Subjective. I'm not even touching this, except to say that friends who came into the game and tried to play it in the same way they have for years, found themselves having to switch things up.
- persistant world
- more active combat
- personalized branching storyline
- new event system to get people playing together
- no monthly fees
- stylized (painterly, illustrated)
- stunning environments
- incredible combat ("I've never seen anything like that!")
Subjective. Animations are very good, and some are just plain cool, and very smooth. More interesting than basic hotkey combat. My mind hasn't been blown, but then I haven't seen all that's offered.
- no grinding to the fun parts
Subjective. For me this is delivered. I don't really grind in MMOs anyway, but this definitely lacks the "best part of the game begins at lvl cap" vibe. Almost all activities are open to you from the start.
- make the player feel like a hero
Subjective. I've mainly been in the starter areas, so I go from feeling like another grunt to the big damn hero, to the grunt again. I can't really say delivered or failed without much more play time.
- quests that are visual rather than text dependant
- cause and effect, a single decision by a player can cascade out into a chain of events
Delivered. It's harder to see on BWEs because most DE's get taken care of fairly quickly, so we only get to see maybe one step in a chain of consequences for failed events before everyone comes in and makes it better. I've had to look at the press beta coverage videos that have lower populations to see this.
- you can save a village, it'll stay saved, and the villagers will remember you for it
Somewhat delivered. Villages will stay saved until the chain of events occur to bring them back to attacking. Hopefully they've lengthened a lot of the timers on some of these. Never checked NPC chatter for my own characters. I'm going to have to get out of the habit of treating NPCs like only so much white noise. However a friend said she did find a couple NPCs talking about her exploits.
Overall, this is the game that was promised by it's developers (not the forum die-hards) and none of the key points seem to have been scrapped or attempted in a hald-assed manner. Even better, they added more than what was promised, and continue to do so based on player feedback. And it's not even launched.
I really don't understand the hype
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Lets be objective: it was anticipated for years.
That's pretty much all a game needs for big hype. Get enough positive excitement for long enough and there you go. That's all there really is to understand about the hype.
That said I really have enjoying the BWEs and can't wait for release. Not because of hype, but because I like what I've seen and experienced. Do I expect GW2 to make profound difference in my life. No. Do I think its the mmo Messiah? Not at all. Its simply a good game with a lot to offer, and that's all I really need in an mmo.
Reverse AOC effect? Anyone feel this.
Beta Weekend Event Reviews & Impressions (Archived) « Guild Wars 2
The norn area is probably the worst example, its much more sedate feeling, as are the stories found there. I might like it more after playing the other areas to the point of wanting that change in pace and atmosphere. We'll see. As for being too easy, I guess it depends on what you're doing. Killing mobs your lvl or lower? Fairly easy. Elite bosses in dynamic events? Much less so. Above your lvl? Much less so.
I'm bored of MMO's on rail.....
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Your own fault for simply following along. Unless they force you from area to area like FFX/XIII then there's a whole big world for you to play in. Think of rails as the optional easymode, and up your own game.
Is that new feeling even possible now?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Its definitely difficult. You not only have to find a game that captures you, you have to able to approach it with fresh eyes. Years of mmos leave you with years of habits and a mentality that will have you playing different games on the same old ways.
One thing that can help is some vicarious "new" ~ playing with someone new to the genre, and letting them take the lead can really help tweak the way you view playing. I know a number of people who, when they started playing with their kids, got a wonderfully new and fun perspective (kids are good for that.)
Otherwise I'd suggest doing things you may not have tried, or doing them in ways that might not be optimal, but change the way you play. It sounds like the real reward you want is new experiences and feelings. Try playing permadeath for a little while in a game that doesn't have it, try limiting skill sets, try writing stories for your characters. If a game has obvious rails, jump the tracks, avoid them and see where you can take yourself outside of that path. These types of activities may not renew the experience for you, but they can help change the way you approach games, both new and old.
Beta Weekend Event Reviews & Impressions (Archived) « Guild Wars 2
I think WvW is something that won't be able to shine until launch, unless you're in a match-up with worlds hosting the larger, more organized guilds and groups. Just a BWE means there's no real commitment to your server, and it's success, not to mention no real grudges or long term goals either. Right now, the less organized players are going for the simplest, most obvious tactic. Give the players time to mature, and for victory to really matter to them, and I think WvW will definitely come into it's own.
If you remove the "killing things" activity from MMORPGs, what remains? What would be required for a game to sustain itself without "the killing of things"?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
My main game is Rift, and I prefer the non-killing activities of exploring/artifacts/harvesting/crafting/AH. Tbh, I think combat is the weakest part of any hotkey game, so I don't play them in a killkillkill way.
"There has yet to be a virtual world that even comes close to the number of things you can do in Ultima Online." True or False?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
From a lot of fond stories and examples posted, a better question would be "does any other mmo offer as much for griefers to do as UO?" Admittedly, it does add another layer to the game, but its also why its fairly unlikely another game will give players all those tools to trick, scam, harass, and abuse eachother. Players pissed where they ate and this is why we can't have nice things.

One life boss mobs
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
If the rewards were just titles/costume/fluff that didn't impact stats or gameplay, I would say it's an idea with promise. I would think the thrill/risk/exclusive experience would be more than enough reward for those who chose to take such content on.
I guess its obvious by now : players want complexity
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Just saying "we want complexity" is a rather ironic over-simplification. Complexity for the sake of complexity sounds like a terrible idea. Laying out a context and a few tools for potential in-game complexity (be it economy, social structures, world-building) which players can choose to use and build off of, on the otherhand, might be very worthwhile.
Guild Wars 2: The Legendary Endgame
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
Even if getting to max level is easy I honestly can't see myself getting there super quickly. I like to take my time and explore, and I'm happy to get side tracked constantly. Plus the varying personal stories and interesting races will have me making quite a few characters.

Immersion - The neglected component
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
For me it comes down to play style. When I used to fuss over builds, balance, stats, and efficiency...I pretty much killed immersion for myself. Once I let go of those things, I was able to immerse myself much more easily in most mmorpgs, despite aspects that could be called immersion killers (I use my ~imaaaaaagination~)
Blue plate special = MMORPG's Today
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
I think indie games have gotten a lot of positive attention lately, and do believe that there will be changes from both devs and publishers across the spectrum in reaction to it. Maybe in small ways, hopefully in large ways as well. However, I don't think you're going to see the results immediately. These games take years to develope, good ones at least, and when you say "MMORPG's Today" they're more like the MMO's built from a base of player desires from several years ago.

Guesthouses, hotels and resorts
Pai town
Pai is a pretty small place with a very simple layout. Nothing is far away. Chanasongkram Rd is the main strip but there is plenty of accommodation on the nearby crossroads. Many opt to stay on the edges of town -- especially near the river, but there is plenty of good options in town as well.

West of Pai
This is the area just on the edge of town along the National 1095 road leading out of Pai to the northwest. The road leads to the airport, Soppong and Mae Hong Son. Further out lies Nam Hoo -- in the foothills to the northwest of town, past the airport and on the way to the popular Mae Paeng Falls. A few villages plus a few guesthouses and several vast Thai 'country resorts' scatter the mostly bare hills. We've left aside most of the latter since many are not particularly attractive and most cater mainly to Thai tourists. (All are pretty much in the middle of nowhere too and most conform to the unfortunate Thai garden creation technique, whereby you begin by stripping the land bare for miles around of any and all natural vegetation, then plant some new trees from the Chiang Mai flower market instead and wait for them to grow!) A couple of the more farang orientated guesthouses aren't bad though if you want to get away from it all in the sticks.

North of Pai -- Mae Khong and Wiang Nur
This covers the loop north of town from the airport round through Mae Khong village and over the river to Wiang Nur, and the collection of small Shan villages to the northeast of Pai. You're never very far from Pai on this loop and the Shan villages are mostly quiet and cute and there is some good accommodation in this area. It's quite a nice area for hiking as well, since you're close to the hills to the north of the valley. As with many outlying areas though there's no public transport to speak of so if you haven't hired any transport you would be a bit stuck. Though there are some very nice places to stay, unfortunately the best ones such as Ubud Guesthouse and Amy's Earth House are a fair way from town -- especially late at night on a motorbike after a couple of beers, so bear that in mind. If you want to hang out, party and meet people then maybe stick to town, one of the riverside spots or one of the excellent places just over the bridge within walking distance of Pai. If you want peace and quiet and to avoid the party scene however, then do go for one of these further flung satellite villages. On the basis that it needs to be good to get you all the way out there we have been a bit more ruthless with our recommendations.
Pura Vida
Classy yet cosy65 Moo 3, Tambon Vieng Nour, Pai

South of Pai - Hot springs and Tha Pai Village
You're getting pretty out of the way by the time you get down here -- a 10- or 15-minute motorbike ride from town, and you can forget about walking. There's not really much in the way of attractions to keep you down here either, apart from a hot spring and a row of low-key elephant camps, which are probably better done as a half-day trip. This means your accommodation's going to have to be something really special to make the stay worthwhile. (Though Pai Canyon is worth a trip -- see activities section.) A string of mostly mid- to upper-range resorts runs along the ridge to the right of the road as you go down from Mae Yen. These have good views over the valley, but cater to mostly Thai weekenders. Then there's a bunch of mostly new and large resorts, again mostly catering to the Thai trade, by the river as you cross back over the bridge on the main Chiang Mai - Pai road. Lastly is an eclectic collection of resorts situated around Tha Pai village and the springs themselves. Hot springs are ten a penny in northern Thailand, and these are no more than average ones, though a couple of the resorts have constructed hot bath facilities. Same goes for the elephant camps (also see activities section), which are not the most exciting ones in the region either. The majority of the resorts aren't very exciting either so we don't even need to be ruthless to prune the accommodation list down. If you want budget options, go back to the river or try Sun Hut or Eden in Mae Yen.

Pai Tree House, located along the road between Mae Yen and the hot springs is in a good location with a well kept garden and a very wide spread of accommodation types to suit all but the most meagre ... Read the full review of Pai Tree House.
East of Pai - Over the bridge, by the river
Crossing over the bridge at the end of Raddamrong Road and turning left along the river bank will bring you to a string of mostly simple bamboo hut guesthouses lined up one after the other, with a second row behind jostling in vain for a river side position. (Some of these are more easily reached by crossing the footbridge at the end of Chaisongkran Road). Most of the bamboo hut locations -- squarely in the backpacker range -- have been around for a while and while they are all fairly similar in layout, design and price, a couple do stand out mainly by virtue of better maintenance and service. If our suggestions are full or you don't quite agree, just toddle along the riverbank footpath to the next one. This is certainly a good location, with easy access to the town and plenty of splash-about-in-the-river spots around, but at worst it can get very crowded with a lot of huts, and backpackers, crammed into a relatively small area. Being convenient and riverside they are also the first to fill up.
If you follow the road rather than turn left, follow it for 200m or so to a low ridge that separates the river valley from a raised plateau of farmland that stretches off to the foot of the hills. This is traditionally farmland -- mostly rice -- but is now dotted with resorts and guesthouses. The sealed road, upon running into the ridge, makes a T-junction with the right fork, parallel to the river, leading to Mae Yen village and on to the hot springs, while the right turn also runs parallel to the river in a northerly direction towards Wiang Nur village. Both eventually swing round to meet up with the Chiang Mai - Mae Hong Son highway on either side of Pai. Take any of the several dirt tracks leading across the farmland from the T-junction and you'll hit a whole range of guesthouses that don't stop until the foothills are reached. Sticking a few chalets in the midst of flat bare paddy can produce desolate results, so the best ones up here are the ones where more effort has been made with their gardens. There are a couple of excellent spots up here.
Else, continue to Mae Yen village. The village itself isn't much to write home about but it is within easy walking distance of Pai and it does have a good selection of accommodation plus a couple of basic cafes and grocery stores. There are some great low season deals and they would certainly fill up a bit later than riverside or in-town guesthouses during high season.
Pai Chan Cottage
Top spot!191 Moo 1 Mae Hee, Pai
Pai Chan is such a good spot but with only a few chalets it means that even in low season it can be full. Set just on top of the embankment, overlooking paddy fields behind and across the valley to ... Read the full review of Pai Chan Cottage.

Author has written 3 stories for Romance.
I started writing in high school. I spent many years reading romance novels with my mom and sisters and then would imagine my own stories. I didn't get serious about writing until 2006 after the loss of one of her sisters. "I just wanted to cheer up my mom." One of my main motivators was my mom saying, "When are you going to finish that one story you told us about?"
From then on I started writing everyday, having more stories than time. Being an avid reader, I wanted to bring something different to the world of romance, unique from my favorite authors but with a great story that all readers would enjoy. "I have always enjoyed telling stories and crafting characters that all people can identify with. I never knew research could be so fun!"
My stories mainly deal with people coming to terms with themselves as they meet their match. The more twists and turns the more fun I have, especially building the development of the characters. I have been so sad that our country, in particular and the world in general, just will not learn. We keep doing the same, horrible things to each other, millennium after millennium and don't seem to get the fact that we can only be better as a nation and as a people when we embrace our differences and be the wonderful people we have the potential of being.

Originally written on No Guts, No Glory | Last updated 9/4/13
It should be crystal clear by now that the Jets want the Mark Sanchez era to be over. The problem with that is that the Geno Smith era, in the short term at least, doesn't look all that promising. And there's no way that Jets fans will stand for Geno Smith throwing interception after interception while the veteran quarterback that beat him out in training camp stands on the sideline. So the Jets are faced with the issue of finding a way to give Geno Smith the reins without having to deal with the distraction of Sanchez. Luckily for the Jets, Sanchez is currently out for who knows how long with a shoulder injury. To make sure Sanchez is out permanently, all the Jets really have to do is place him on IR. And that's exactly what Sanchez fears that the Jets will do. Now that rookie Geno Smith has been named the New York Jets starting quarterback for the season opener Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a person close to ailing Mark Sanchez told USA TODAY Sports that the quarterback...

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) August 19, 2014
By mid-August, most children are returning to school. Each day in the upcoming year, according to statistics from the US Department of Education, over 1,000 US school children will be told to "bend over and take your swats" in 19 states where school corporal punishment is permitted. Breaking the Paddle: Ending School Corporal Punishment shows that for breaking school rules, educators in those states are permitted to hit children as young as five on the buttocks with a flat board called a "paddle." Some require medical care and many grow up with angry and vengeful feelings for schools and teachers, as detailed throughout the book.
Breaking the Paddle: Ending School Corporal Punishment is a book written by Nadine A. Block who founded of the Center for Effective Discipline and is a former teacher and school psychologist. Block says, "I hope the book accelerates the banning of school paddling in the US by educating Americans on the effects of its use on tens of thousands of children each year and how ordinary citizens can end its use." Block describes efforts of a coalition she led that struggled to achieve a statewide ban in Ohio and succeeded in finally ending it in 2009.
Purple Dragonfly Book Awards contest, which recognizes excellence in children's literature, has awarded Breaking the Paddle: Ending School Corporal Punishment awards in categories of History-Non-Fiction and Family Matters. The book also won a 2014 award from Eric Hoffer Book Awards in the category of Reference: Non-Fiction. It is available on online bookstores and all proceeds go to the Center for Effective Discipline for programs on positive discipline.
All parents who want to protect their children from paddling, educators, all school board members and public policy makers having an impact on education policy, child advocates and professionals who work with families should read this book. Nadine Block says, "Banning it shouldn't be controversial. State governments have already decided corporal punishment is harmful. It is banned in child care, foster care and institutions for children in almost every state. It should be banned in schools too!"

Looking for my silly romance
My name is Audrey. I'm 22 going on 23, when everything will change :). I went to college for a few semesters after i graduated high school, but it just wasn't my thing at the time. I love working though. I worked at a daycare for a couple of years, and I now teach 4th and 5th graders. I love kids and I'm planning on going back to school for Child Psychology. I'm a very passionate person, I have a huge heart and I'm always putting the people around me first. I love to laugh and make people laugh. I can be very spontaneous. I love those random days just filled with whatever came to mind! I love to experience new things, getting out and seeing the world. And I'd love to have someone by my side enjoying the ride! I'm looking for someone that can enjoy going out, but would also love staying in and watching movies. Someone who's funny, kind, honest, and caring. A person that challenges me and pushes me to do what i think i can't do. And someone that likes the challenges too. Someone that isn't afraid to get out of their comfort zone with me, because I can be goofy and i like to have fun. :) I love my family, I'm very close to my parents and brother and sister! I'm a christian. I was saved by the blood of Jesus, and there's no doubt in my mind that to this crazy wonderful and beautiful creation we live in, that there is a creator!

Jersey Shore
Romantic SamRon Gesture: Was It Related to a Proposal?
Jersey Shore stars Sammi Sweetheart and Ronnie have been hesitant to firm up any plans for marriage, even though living together has been a success for them so far, but could the couple have finally made a move toward matrimony?
Sammi, whose stock answer to questions about a potential future wedding to Ronnie is usually "maybe," posted some pictures of a super romantic gesture from last night (December 17). Though she otherwise kept mum about the occasion, we can't help but wonder whether this has anything to do with a proposal?
Why else would Ronnie shower her bed with rose petals to spell out "I Love You" and give her a dozen long-stemmed roses (or was it the other way around? We're not actually sure who made the romantic gesture here).
It could just be a sweet moment between the couple, but our engagement radar is on full alert — though maybe that's just wishful thinking on our parts.
Either way, this is totally adorable!
Catch the series finale of Jersey Shore on Thursday, December 20 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Woz the Hack? Kathy Griffin Gets iPhone Jailbreak from the Founder!
If Fake Steve weren't taking some "vacation" time to allow his alter-ego's to move from Forbes to take over Steve Levy's job at Newsweek, he'd no doubt be all over this.
Seems Woz, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in a garage during the age of aquarius (or something), in between Segway Polo matches and paying for hamburgers with uncut sheets of $100 bills, found some alone time with his honey, celebrity funny woman Kathy Griffn, in the back of a limo.
What to do, what to do...
Why, live-vidblog (or whatever the big media equivalent of that is) the jailbreaking of her iPhone! What else?
A combination of Woz's massive watch and Griffin's neon-orange case may blind you for life, but if you just gotta see the geekbait, check the video over at Engadget.

A fart that expels small ammounts of feces.
"Oh my God! I just sharted!" Exclaimed a humiliated Mark as he ran through the art room, knocking over a TV in his rush to get out the back door. A feeble attempt to save his dignity.

Something intended to be only a fart but is accidentally accompanied by shit. These frequently occur during bouts of diarrhea. Past tense is sharted.

2015 BMW X3 xDrive28d vs Lexus NX 300h
Compact luxury crossovers are all about the D – diesel.
2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Review
If you're one to avoid the mainstream trends, you likely find the BMW 3 Series a bit too commonplace. Fortunately, BMW is offering the new 4 Series Gran Coupe, a four-door, hatchback version of the 4 Series coupe based on a 3 Series sedan.
2015 BMW X4 xDrive35i Review
Somehow, BMW's new compact coupe-styled crossover makes more sense than it has any right to.
2015 BMW 428i xDrive Convertible Review
BMW's 4 Series convertible isn't much of an "Ultimate Driving Machine," but it makes for a very comfortable cruiser that you could drive all year if you wanted to…
2015 BMW M4 Review
Drive the M4 and its name will make perfect sense.
2014 BMW 228i Review
Retro is the hot thing these days; it seems if something's old it's automatically awesome. BMW is reaching back into its historical treasure chest by introducing a small, fun-to-drive coupe that brings to mind the legendary 2002 from decades past.
2014 BMW M 235i vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG
Buying a German performance car has never been more affordable. Pitting two new-era options from BMW and Mercedes against each other, we find out which of these machines delivers the biggest grins.
2014 Audi A6 TDI vs BMW 535d
Are modern diesel engines refined enough to sit under the hood of your next luxury sedan?
2014 BMW X5 xDrive35i Review
BMW Transplants the heart and soul of its executive sports sedan into a bigger package, delivering excellent driving dynamics and serious luxury.
2014 BMW 435i Convertible Review
The BMW 435i may not be as engaging to drive as older 3 series convertibles, but is a great baby grand touring drop-top.
2014 BMW M235i Review – Video
Compact, engaging and powerful. The E46 M3 reborn.
2014 BMW i3 Review
BMW's first ever ground-up electric car might not be pretty, so it's a good thing its real beauty lies beneath its aluminum chassis and carbon fiber skin.
2013 BMW 320i Review
In the quest for more sales, BMW has introduced a new entry level version of the 3 Series. The question is, has BMW gone too far down-market, or is this still a true Bimmer?
2014 BMW 535d Review
Luxury sedans and diesel engines might not be common in North America, but the new BMW 535d has us asking: Is the best 5 Series, a diesel 5 Series?
2013 BMW Z4 sDrive35i Review
With minimal updates over the years, has the Z4 grown old, or is the Z4 just so good it doesn't need messing with?
2014 BMW X5 Review
The X5 enters its third generation looking very similar, but making key refinements to its already successful driving manner, out-shining other competitors in the luxury crossover field.
2014 BMW 4 Series Review
Trading its 3 Series badge in for a 4, has BMW's go-to coupe also replaced its essential qualities? Far from it!
2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i Review
A bigger 3 Series sounds like a great idea, but you won't find all of BMW's brilliant sport sedan in the X3 and you'll likely find it a little lacking in luxury.
2013 BMW 740Li xDrive Review – Video
Luxurious and long, BMW's updated 740Li proves you can play in the big leagues without breaking the bank.
2014 BMW 3 Series GT Review
With BMW's Gran Turismo version of the 5 Series a genuine dud, should we expect the same from a GT-ified 3 Series?
2013 BMW 3 Series Hybrid Review
Is BMW's first ever 3 Series hybrid a work in progress or a failed experiment?
2013 BMW X1 xDrive35i Review
A modern vehicle but with some less-than modern equipment, is the X1 xDrive35i too sporty for its own good?
2013 BMW X1 sDrive28i Review
BMW's smallest crossover is trying its luck in the US

The key to mastering the AP Biology essay section is practice….there is no shortcut. Make sure that you cover all the key points of every topic because you don't know what will turn up on the test. Below are some possible essay topics. When writing your essay, include and elaborate on as many of the points as possible. And include definitions and explanations of key terms.
Below are possible essay topics with some key points:
17. Effects of human resources and population growth
Acid rain and pollution – contamination of ground water and air pollution
• Sulfur dioxide
• Precipitation, acidic soil, damage to leave of plants and trees
• Results of industrialization
Global warming
• CO2 levels rising – the greenhouse effect (traps heat)
• CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels and cutting forests
• Danger – melting ice caps, rising sea levels, altered weather patterns
Ozone depletion (from emitted chlorofluorocarbon (CFC))
• Lessened ability of ozone to block UV light
• Greater amount of UV exposure raises the rate of mutation
• Some animals (marine, frogs) are especially sensitive to UV rays – increased probability of birth defects and non-fertile offspring
Habitat destruction
• Desertification (turning habitats into deserts)
• Soil erosion as trees and ground cover are cut down
• Species loss and decreased biodiversity
Sample question (from AP Biology 2012 Free-Response Questions – College Board)
The element carbon is contained in all organic compounds.
a) Discuss the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in carbon cycling in the biosphere.
b) For THREE of the following, predict and explain the effect on the carbon cycle if:
• decomposers were absent
• deforestation occurred
• volcanic dust accumulated in the atmosphere
• the average ocean temperature increased
c) Explain how increased CO2 in the atmosphere results in greater acidification of oceans and describe the effect on marine organisms. Include in your discussion TWO examples of how human activity can increase atmospheric CO2
When answering the essay questions on the AP Biology exam, make sure that you pay attention to the bolded words in the question as these tell you what the examiner is looking for in your answer.

Legendary Mint State 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar1893-S $1 MS61 PCGS. The brief reduced mintage years for Morgan Dollars, from 1893 to 1895, are replete with issues from the four active mints that carry varying degrees of scarcity at the Uncirculated level. However, towering above the others and difficult at all grade levels is the 1893-S, a numismatically legendary issue that is widely known to even the most casual coin collector. Its value in circulated condition can be attributed to the immense popularity of the series, but any collector serious enough to consider an example in AU or better condition must not only have the means, but also the patience. Only a few dozen Mint State pieces are known to exist, and they are among the most prized Silver Dollars of any date and any type.
Affordability is a definite factor among the few remaining Uncirculated coins because the majority grade MS63 or finer. This solid Mint State representative is quite unusual in that it falls into the lower tier and yet there is no question about its Uncirculated status. The surfaces are mostly brilliant with full, frosty luster and only the expected grade-limiting contact marks on the obverse. For pedigree purposes we also note a milling mark on the lower portion of the eagle's breast. Gentlemen, start your engines. Population: 3 in 61, 21 finer (4/03). (NGC ID# 255U, PCGS# 7226)

Johnny Cueto has established himself as one of the top pitchers in baseball and a couple of unearned runs in his regular season finale prevented him from becoming the first Red to win 20 games since 1988. His success was rewarded by writers with a top four finish in NL Cy Young voting. He maintains one of the best ERA's in the league despite pitching in Great American Ball Park.

Hooks take initial battle of Astros' affiliates
Part two is today at Whataburger Field
Afterward, he sailed on through - not all of it necessarily smooth - but certainly efficient.
Gutierrez tossed five innings of one-run ball, and the Corpus Christi offense came up with some timely offense as the Hooks defeated the Round Rock Express 4-3 on Saturday afternoon at Dell Diamond.
The Houston Astros' top two affiliates will wrap up their exhibition series today in Corpus Christi before the Class AA Hooks begin their second Texas League season on Thursday.
Gutierrez, pegged to be the Hooks' opening day starter, saw his fifth pitch end up on the left-field berm courtesy of Round Rock leadoff man and Corpus Christi ex Charlton Jimerson. But Gutierrez settled down after the homer and worked himself out of a pair of jams against the Class AAA Express lineup.
"The most important thing is he got himself out of (trouble)," Hooks manager Dave Clark said. "He gave up the home run, but the kid did not back off and that's a good sign. You've got to believe he was a little bit nervous playing in his first Triple-A game out there, but he settled down and gave us five strong innings. That's what we're going to expect from this kid to keep us in ballgames."
In five innings, Gutierrez threw 87 pitches, with 61 landing for strikes. He allowed seven hits, but didn't issue a walk.
"I just tried to be aggressive with all my pitches, and be ahead of the hitters," said the 22-year-old Venezuelan who enters the season ranked as the Astros' eighth-best prospect according to Baseball America.
"It worked for me and my catcher (J.R. House) called a great game, too. I worked a lot on my location last year and this year. I was looking to hit the spots and keeping the ball down."
Aaron Williams followed Gutierrez with two shutout innings. Jailen Peguero was touched up for two homers in the eighth and put the potential tying run on base in the ninth, but Jon Skaggs got Hector Gimenez to hit into a game-ending double play.
The Hooks' offense managed only four hits, but turned them into enough offense. The big blow was newcomer Josh Bonifay's two-run homer in the third inning off ex-Hook Jason Hirsh that gave Corpus Christi a 3-1 lead it would never relinquish.
"We're going to hit the ball," Clark said. "If our pitching can keep us in ballgames, we're going to win our share of them. I'm not going to go out and say this is a high-octane offense because we won't know until the season gets started. We know what these kids have done in the past and just hope it'll carry over into this season as well."
