46 U.S. Code § 53723 - Payments by Secretary or Administrator and issuance of obligations
prev | next
(a) Cash Payment.— Amounts required to be paid by the Secretary or Administrator under section 53721 or 53722 of this title shall be paid in cash.
(b) Issuance of Obligations.— If amounts in the appropriate account under section 53717 of this title are not sufficient to make a payment required under section 53721 or 53722 of this title, the Secretary or Administrator may issue obligations to the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary or Administrator, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall prescribe the form, denomination, maturity, and other terms (except the interest rate) of the obligations. The Secretary of the Treasury shall set the interest rate for the obligations, considering the current average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States Government of comparable maturities during the month before the obligations are issued.
(c) Purchase of Obligations.— The Secretary of the Treasury shall purchase the obligations issued under this section. To purchase the obligations, the Secretary of the Treasury may use as a public debt transaction the proceeds from the sale of securities issued under chapter 31 of title 31. The purposes for which securities may be issued under that chapter are extended to include the purchase of obligations under this subsection. The Secretary of the Treasury may sell obligations purchased under this section. A redemption, purchase, or sale of the obligations by the Secretary of the Treasury is a public debt transaction of the Government.
(d) Deposits and Redemptions.— The Secretary or Administrator shall deposit amounts borrowed under this section in the appropriate account under section 53717 of this title and make redemptions of the obligations from that account.

I hope it doesn't go that way but it may be another round of (Baylor) Texas politics.
If this is true then wow never expected that to happen I figured the Aggies were just blowing smoke up everyone's ***** for leverage.
If true, good riddance. Hope you like getting your *** kicked on a regular basis in the SEC.
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
At this point, I think I'm glad to be rid of them. True, Texas still controls the conference, but Aggie just looks stupid and petty. If OU stays, we stay viable and can start picking up new members.
Look for Oklahoma to also make a move. I have thought all along that Texas views itself as an independent. I could see them going out on their own.

I agree with those that say picking up another Texas school is pointless. Why don't we just stay at 9? Honestly it's not that big of a deal.

I hate to say it but I am with you. I think this is just the beginning of the collapse. OU, OSU and maybe TT to the Pac 10, SEC may pick up Missouri if others start to bail.
From the guy who runs Texags.com:
Billy Liucci
Ags to SEC not done but is VERY likely to happen. Anyone who says otherwise is woefully misinformed.
Couldn't they have least waited for the first tier rights to come around for negotiation?
I wonder if the reason they will add another Texas school just to have another Texas school in the conference to replace the one that left.

Gainful Employment Program Disclosure
Effective July 1, 2011, federal regulations published in the Federal Register on October 29, 2010 [75 FR 66665 and FR 66832] by the U.S. Department of Education require postsecondary institutions that participate in the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended, to disclose to prospective students certain information about the institution's GE Programs.
Generally, GE Programs include:
- At public and private not-for-profit institutions:Title IV-eligible non-degree programs (e.g., certificate and diploma programs).
To ensure that the required data are disclosed to prospective students in a consistent and consumer-friendly format, institutions MUST use this GEDT developed by the Department of Education to disclose the required information about their GE Programs. The GEDT allows institutions to quickly and easily create a Web page containing the required gainful employment disclosure information for each of their eligible educational programs. Specifically, this information includes:
- The typical costs associated with completing the program;
- Potential financing options available to students and the median debt incurred by program graduates;
- The normal time to complete the program and the percentage of graduates who completed the program within the normal time; and
- The job placement rate for program completers.

But other truths lie hidden in the statistics
October 6, 2012 - Statistics don't lie, but sometimes they can be confusing.
Check this story that appeared Friday on VOCM, under the headline "Big Drop in NL Unemployment Rate":
"The unemployment rate in Newfoundland and Labrador has dropped by almost a half percentage point. The rate, which stood at 12.7 in August, dropped to 12.3 in September. Nationally, the domestic economy is coming off one of the strongest job creation months of the year."
While statistics may not lie, they can certainly deceive. If you look at the Statistics Canada chart from which this news item was generated, you see that the news for Newfoundland and Labrador isn't nearly as happy. Here's the link:
In actual fact, the Newfoundland and Labrador labour force shrunk by 1,400 and the number of jobs fell by 200. And because the pool of labour contracted more than the number of jobs, the unemployment rate actually appears to go down. This is not cause for celebration and certainly not a "big drop" in the unemployment rate.
The story quickly moves to the national figures, where they use the same math – in reverse – to describe the situation. Here's the rest of the story, copied verbatim from the VOCM site:
"A surprise addition of more than 52,000 new jobs last month was five times what economists predicted. The gain was the third biggest of the year and was way better (than) the 10,000 jobs analysts were expecting. It wasn't enough to put a dent in the unemployment rate, which actually edged up one tenth of a point to 7.4 per cent. That's because thousands of Canadians found work in September, almost 73,000 joining the labour force."
In other words, the number of jobs grew by 52,000 while the number of job seekers grew by even more. Outside of Atlantic Canada, many provinces experienced huge growth in their labour pools, resulting in a gain of 72,700 people nationally looking for work. This is obviously higher than the new job creation numbers and accounts for the rise in the national unemployment rate. VOCM used those raw numbers to explain away the national unemployment rate, but ignored the very same – yet opposite trending – factors that are driving the provincial rate.
To put it another way, they used background data to identify good news in the national figures, but ignored the same data to put a positive spin on provincial numbers.
I would dismiss this as just not reading the chart properly – I despise charts too – but they seem to have fully understood the factors in the national instance. Why not the provincial numbers too?
So what's up? An honest error committed in "cut and paste"? Or is VOCM, known for touting "good news stories," trying to make a silk purse with a sow's ear?

Three Catholic Movements are Focus of New Spirituality and Politics Course
Contact: Nicole LaRosa
(212) 930-8810
At a recent meeting of Fordham's Spirituality and Politics Across the Atlantic course, Robert Ellsberg, former managing editor of the
Catholic Worker
newspaper, had this to say about his late friend and colleague Dorothy Day: Pope Francis would have been her dream pope.
It was a confirmation of sorts of a kinship the students had already contemplated. Earlier in the semester as part of their study of the Catholic Worker movement, they'd visited Maryhouse, the rundown East Village headquarters of the 80-year-old newspaper, which Day established, and which still costs a penny. They'd also been discussing Pope Francis and his commitment to the poor, which the instructors said "ran like an undercurrent" through the course.
"It was a really good introduction, learning about the Catholic Worker in class and then going down there," said Rachel Dougherty, a junior in the class.
Also there were Friday night regulars: the newspaper's writers, elderly nuns who'd spent time doing missionary work in Latin America, and homeless folks who may have been spending the night at Maryhouse—a Catholic Worker "hospitality house" where women can find free meals, showers, and even a place to stay. The longstanding Friday night meetings began as "clarification of thought" sessions for the Catholic Worker movement, founded in 1933 by Day and Peter Maurin and focused on Catholic social teaching, pacifism, justice, and helping the poor.
"It felt like such a great community—these things that they want to do in theory they're doing in practice, like war tax resistance," said Dougherty, who is Jewish. "It was really nice to see the contemporary issues of how people are responding to war in the Middle East while we're studying the roots of nonviolence." Dougherty said the experience made her want to volunteer at Fordham's
Dorothy Day Center for Service and Justice
, named for Day and modeled on her commitment to service.
Students in the new Spirituality and Politics class examined three 20th-century Catholic movements across three continents, each of which espoused a novel approach to spirituality and distinctive political views: the Catholic Worker in New York, the French Catholic revival, and liberation theology in Latin America. The course satisfies Fordham's core curriculum requirement of an interdisciplinary capstone seminar. Students' final projects examined such topics as civil war in Syria, immigration, and sexuality and the church.
Assistant theology professor Brenna Moore and Michael Lee, associate theology professor, conceived the idea for the course when they noticed many similar themes and figures in their research and teaching. The writers Moore studies from the French Catholic literary revival figured heavily in the works of liberation theologians—a focus for Lee.
"That tradition of mysticism and spirituality was deeply attentive to the crises of the 20th century," Moore said.
Junior Christopher Morel noticed a lot of similarities between modern-day Dominican Republic, where his parents were born, and the struggles faced by liberation theologians in the 1970s and earlier. For the class he read works in the original Spanish by Camilo Torres, a Colombian priest who fought with the National Liberation Army in the 1960s.
"The principle in Catholicism is love for thy neighbor, but [Torres] felt that wasn't always possible in the circumstances in Colombia," he said, where the wealth was concentrated in the hands of a few. "When I was reading it I was sort of able to identify with issues going on in the Dominican Republic, especially in the rural areas where my parents come from.
"And reading it in Spanish—there's just something to it. There's a feeling that you get. You're reading the actual document. I feel it's much more powerful," said Morel, who has interned at the same Harlem law firm since high school and wants to practice criminal law.
During the final week of classes, students visited the Jewish Museum for a tour of the exhibit "Chagall: Love, War, Exile," which dovetailed with a major course theme of Jewish-Catholic relations during World War II and European exiles in New York during that time.
"Michael and I are completely stunned by this group's ability to deeply engage the disciplines of both history and theology, and make connections between innovations that were happening in France, Latin America, and New York and connect it all to our contemporary situation," said Moore. "It's been a highlight of our careers."
Spirituality and Politics Across the Atlantic will be offered again in fall 2015.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (KSDK) -- Illinois state police are investigating a deputy-involved shooting in Madison County that left one man dead.
Friday night shortly after 10:00, Madison County deputies responded to a report of suspicious activity at a home in the 7100 block of State Route 140. The home is located just west of Hamel and near Prairietown road.
Their investigation led them next door, where they were confronted by a man with a gun. After a confrontation, a deputy sheriff shot the man. He died at the scene.
State Police Lt. Dave Wasmuth says the man killed by the Madison County Deputy has been identified as Barry Cloninger, 51, of rural Edwardsville.
Lieutenant Wasmuth says the Madison County deputy who fired the fatal shot has been placed on administrative leave, which is routine procedure in an officer-involved shooting.

Good Grief
Three books that give voice to the disorienting ordeal of losing someone.
Sorrow's Company: Writers on Loss & Grief
Edited by DeWitt Henry
Beacon, 214 pp.
Speak to Me: Grief, Love and What Endures
By Marcie Hershman
Beacon, 104 pp.
For Those We Love but See No Longer
By the Reverend Lisa Belcher Hamilton
Paraclete, 188 pp.
Grief isn't one feeling but several: longing, anxiety, and sorrow, all often mixed with shame or guilt or rage. "No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear," wrote C.S. Lewis in his masterpiece on the subject, "A Grief Observed." "I keep swallowing." Grief is love for another cast adrift; you call and no one answers. Nor can you figure out where the beloved has gone. You can't read or think or cook. In the end, a hole is left, and nothing comes along to fill it.
To make meaning out of one's own grief by writing about it requires a harrowing honesty, since writing about grief slides so easily into sentiment. The work can't be about grief alone but about something else--what the author made of his or her grief. In three new books about grief, one sees the power of grief to reduce writers' egos; to slams its victims so hard as to humble them.
In "Sorrow's Company," DeWitt Henry has collected essays by writers like Tess Gallagher, Jamaica Kincaid, Andre Dubus, and Jane Brox. Nearly every essay in this collection is worth reading--something few anthologies can boast, let alone one on so sensitive a subject.
Tess Gallagher's contribution, "Soul-Making," on the last days of her husband, the writer Raymond Carver, is a most beautiful work about love and the small details that make up a couple's life. But it's equally about how writers make meaning. In writers' lives, Gallagher says, writing and reading and living are all intertwined. It's no surprise that what gave Carver and Gallagher solace as Carver lay dying of lung cancer were words: They read Chekhov and Carver's most recent writings.
A sibling's death produces a different, very specific kind of grief than a spouse's, as Debra Spark's "Last Things" shows. Spark tells of her sister's death from cancer at age 26. She writes about how it feels to miss the person who shared a womb, and a childhood, and a point of view on the family. One's own relationship to life after watching one so young die so hard, Spark observes, is particularly ambivalent. "Our desires, our desires, our desires," Spark writes. "It's a reproach for me, an always unfulfilled wish for my family, and a sad song--it's a dirge--for Cindy." At the end she eats a shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate and finds it "so delicious I start to cry."

State fires will affect some hunting opportunitiesBy: George deVilbiss/Special to Gold Country News Service
With storm systems coming from the south, lightning strikes have produced fire after fire throughout the north state this summer. Tens of thousands of acres have been affected.
While considerable media attention has focused on three wildfires — the Wye fire in Lake and Colusa counties, the Ponderosa fire in Tehama and Shasta counties and the Chips fire in Plumas County — there have been many more fires in the state.
Some were attacked and extinguished quickly. Others have burned as long as the more publicized fires but, because of their location, weren't as vigorously fought.
There are plus and minus aspects to fires.
Air quality is adversely affected and, depending on prevailing breezes, smoke can cover a great deal of territory. Secondly, it's heartbreaking to look over blackened terrain.
When a fire scorches a landscape, there are wild critters that have the ability to escape. Birds can fly away; bear and deer can run to safer ground. But, there are smaller and less-mobile critters that don't have the ability to escape.
While fires may destroy millions of board feet of timber, not every form of wildlife can utilize trees. Squirrels and birds make their home in trees. Deer and bear will use timber areas for cover. But, most treed areas don't provide a great food source for many creatures.
When a fire wipes out an area, the aesthetic beauty of the region is destroyed. Soon after the first rains, however, patches of green begin appearing. Creatures are attracted to the new growth.
Growth that was destroyed by fire held little nutrients for wildlife. The new growth is exactly what many wild creatures want and need.
The rash of recent fires is having an impact on hunting in the north state. The Department of Fish and Game is recommending the sage grouse hunt in eastern Lassen County be effectively canceled due to the Rush Fire.
Fires to the north are going to affect the pronghorn antelope hunt, as a good portion of the Lassen Zone has burned.
Hunters with archery tags for the X5b zone and the general deer seasons in the A9 archery zone will be affected, as a fire has burned an extensive portion of the zone.
Hunt the burn
One thing I discovered many years ago while hunting above Foresthill after a large fire was extinguished: Deer visit recent burn areas.
They'll stay longer after rainfall and when fresh green sprouts of growth begin appearing.
Anybody who's harvested their deer will attest to the fact that deer have ticks, sometimes a lot of ticks. When you flip the deer on its back, several ticks can be seen in the soft belly region, little black creepy crawlers.
Visiting a recent burn area is one way they can reduce their tick infestation. Deer will roll in the ashes, sometimes when the ashes are still warm. Ticks don't like being coated in the ashes and will bail out.
If your hunt zone recently was affected by a fire, don't look for a great deer population inhabiting the region, but look for them to visit the area. Take a stand and you can still tag your buck.
Current fishing
Sacramento River salmon: Action is up one day, down the next, depending on when the fish move in. They don't stay in this region so it's a waiting game, waiting for the school to move in and through. When they're in, rods are doubling over with good salmon being netted.
The action gets better and better in and around Red Bluff, the upper reaches of their run. The fish will stack up. Because it takes the salmon longer to get to the upper reaches of the river, they tend to be darker than salmon caught closer to Sacramento.
American and Feather River salmon: Few salmon have turned into the American River. Let the river temperature drop, get a rainstorm from the north, and that will change almost overnight.
The Feather River is showing better action. Catching activity has been decent around Shanghai Bend, the mouth of the Yuba River, Gridley and the Outlet.
Saltwater: Top action news has been rock cod, sacks of them. The San Francisco Bay Area Fleet has been hammering limits of bottom fish along the Marin County coast, and the best news is that anglers also are limiting on the highly preferred ling cod. Some lings are hitting 20 pounds. It's the same story for those going out of the Bodega Bay harbor. Don't hope for a rock cod trip out of Fort Bragg. Bottom fishing came to a seasonal end Aug. 16.
Folsom Lake: There's still some landlocked salmon getting hooked, but you'll need to burn a lot of gas and put in a fair amount of time to find them. The main body of the lake in the old river channel is where you'll mainly find them, and they're down as much as 60 feet. The fish are in schools. When you get bit, work the same area and you could pick off another fish or two.
For bass, drop-shot plastics and jigs. Watch your scope and find submerged rock piles.
Lake Amador: Let a northern cooling rain make an appearance, and the lake will begin its winter trout planting program. It will come soon. In the meantime, bass are holding about 15 feet down and just about anything in a crawdad pattern will get you bit.
Camping? Throw out some stinky stuff as the sun goes down and you can get rewarded with a catfish. Take the kids and pick up a container of redworms or mealies. Bluegill are all around the lake.
Collins Lake: This wonderful lake behind Marysville is generally great for trout fishing but not right now with the current weather and lack of planting for a while. Catfish, though, are taking up the slack. Fishing around the dam, the beach region off the camping area and even the docks has produced stringers after the sun sets. If you're persistent and bent on trout, they can still be had; some anglers are actually finding limits. Watch your scope carefully, stay in the channel in the middle of the lake, and get down 25-35 feet.

- Not to be confused with V8 Ghost, a 2-door car in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The Ghost (or GHOST missing) is a modified variant of the Predator police boat in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
DescriptionWhile largely similar to the Predator, the Ghost noticeably lacks the Predator's twin machine gun emplacements but outperforms the Predator in speed and turning.
The boat appears only during the mission "Gone Fishing", in which the player is tasked to kill a target at sea, who attempts to escape using the boat. However, if the player chases the boat long enough, the boat will run ashore and the target will continue to flee on foot; the player can then kill the target, leaving the boat intact. If the player does this they can shove the boat back into the water and drive it.
The boat's default color is police car blue, however it is spawned in an unique black color in the PC and Xbox versions of "Gone Fishing".
- This is rather a very unique vehicle as it only appears in the mission Gone Fishing and cannot be obtained anywhere else.
- The reason the name is "GHOST missing" in the PS2 version upon entering is because there's no valid GXT name, so it uses its game name ("GHOST") with the word "missing"[1]. Rockstar have fixed this in the other platform versions, and gave an in-game name to the boat. This would happen at all other vehicles if they don't have valid GXT names.
- This boat also exists in LCS but doesnt have a spawn code because it is not a proper/finished vehicle, although it can be still obtained by editing the spawn point hex code.
- Ghost Missing article and spawn cheats.
- It's likely named "Ghost" due to it's ghostly black color and appearance.

An IQ Score of 150 is Very Superior Intelligence
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale classifies an IQ Score of 150 as very superior intelligence. If you scored 150 on an IQ test, congratulations, you scored better than 99.9% of the general population! However, studies reveal that you can raise your IQ score even higher by as many as 15 IQ points. To raise your IQ score of 150 even higher, try the following tips:
- Tips To Raise Your IQ Score Above 150
- Don't attempt any IQ test unless you have had plenty of rest.
- Make sure you are calm and relaxed prior to testing.
- Turn off all distractions including radio, TV and your cellphone.
- Have a pen and paper ready to solve problems that can't be solved in your head.
- Think positive and you will do well.
Double Check Your IQ Score
Did you receive an IQ score of 150 somewhere else but not sure if the score was accurate? Take our test and find out if your IQ score is really 150 or higher. This is a real IQ test developed by William A. McConochie, Ph.D.
If you want to check your spatial IQ and are between the ages of 6 and 16, please take the Kids Spatial IQ Test.
Advisory Notice: Children wanting to take the Spatial IQ Test should bookmark this page and ask permission from your parents regarding payment for the test.
Parental Notice: Your child can take the IQ test for free; however, to view the full IQ report, you must pay a small service fee of $19.97.
IQ Conversion Table
The table below demonstrates a cross reference of your IQ score. For example, an IQ score of 150 received by taking the Standford-Binet can be cross referenced to measure the same score in the Cattell Intelligence Test and the Wechsler Intelligence Tests. GRE and SAT scores can also be converted from an IQ score of 150. Finally, the IQ table gives you the rarity and percentile of your IQ score and it also demonstrates how your IQ score ranks against the general population.

Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves
Aerial photo of mangrove fringed shoreline, northwest Panama. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves occupy a long expanse of disjunctive coastal zone along the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico for portions of Central America and Mexico.
The ecoregion has a very high biodiversity and species richness of mammals, amphibians and reptiles.
As with most mangrove systmems, the Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean ecoregion plays an important role in shoreline erosion prevention from Atlantic hurricanes and storms; in addition these mangroves are significant in their function as a nursery for coastal fishes, turtles and other marine organisms.
This mangrove ecoregion is threatened by development pressures along the coastline, chiefly by population expansion of indigenous peoples, but also by infrastructure to promote ecotourism.
Location and general description
Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves, in yellow. Source: WWF
This disjunctive Neotropical ecoregion is comprised of elements lying along the Gulf of Mexico coastline of Mexico south of the Tampico area, and along the Caribbean Sea exposures of Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
There are 507 distinct vertebrate species that have been recorded in the Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves ecoregion. Some of the Belizean central portion of the ecoregion is protected from high wave action by extensive off-shore near coastal coral reef formations. A similar functional type of storm surge protection exists off of Panama in the Bocas del Toro region, where an extensive archipelago protects the mainland shoreline and southern side of the islands.
Baird's Tapir. Source: Brian Gatwicke/EoL The Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves ecoregion has a number of mammalian species, including: Mexican Agouti (Dasyprocta mexicana, CR); Mexican Black Howler Monkey (Alouatta pigra, EN); Baird's Tapir (Tapirus bairdii, EN); Central American Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi, EN); Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla); Deppe's Squirrel (Sciurus deppei), who ranges from Tamaulipas, Mexico to the Atlantic versant of Costa Rica; Jaguar (Panthera onca, NT), which requires a large home range and hence would typically move between the mangroves and more upland moist forests; Margay (Leopardus wiedii, NT); Mantled Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata); Mexican Big-eared Bat (Plecotus mexicanus, NT), a species found in the mangroves, but who mostly roosts in higher elevation caves; Central American Cacomistle (Bassariscus sumichrasti), a carnivore found from southern Mexico to western Panama in upland as well as coastal forests.
Allen's Coral Snake. Source: Roy W. McDiarmid/EoL A number of reptiles have been recorded within the ecoregion including the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas, EN); Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata, CR); Central American River Turtle (Dermatemys mawii, CR), distributed along the Atlantic drainages of southern Mexico to Guatemala; Morelets Crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii, LR/CD), a crocodile found along the mangroves of Yucatan, Belize and the Atlantic versant of Guatemala.
Some of the other reptiles found in this ecoregion are the Adorned Graceful Brown Snake (Rhadinaea decorata); Allen's Coral Snake (Micrurus alleni); Eyelash Palm Pitviper (Bothriechis schlegelii); False Fer-de-lance (Xenodon rabdocephalus); Blood Snake (Stenorrhina freminvillei); Bridled Anole (Anolis frenatus); Chocolate Anole (Anolis chocorum), found in Panamanian and Colombian lowland and mangrove subcoastal forests; Furrowed Wood Turtle (Rhinoclemmys areolata. NT); Brown Wood Turtle (LR/NT); Belize Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus insularis), which occurs only in this ecoregion along with the Peten-Veracruz moist forests.
Lovely Poison Frog in the wild, Bocas del Toro. @ C. Michael Hogan Within the Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves ecoregion there are a number of anuran taxa present:
- Elegant Narrowmouth Toad (Gastrophryne elegans);
- Cane Toad (Rhinella marina);
- Gulf Coast Toad (Incilius valliceps);
- Alfred's Rainfrog (Eleutherodactylus alfredi);
- Sabinal Frog (Leptodactylus melanonotus);

- Izabal Robber Frog (Craugastor chac);
- Rio Grande Frog (Lithobates berlandieri);
- Northern Sheep Frog (Hypopachus variolosus);
- Evergreen Robber Frog (Craugastor gollmeri), a limited range anuran that occurs only in lowland, mangrove and premontane forests of Caribbean versant Costa Rica and Panama;
- Mexican Burrowing Frog (Rhinophrynus dorsalis), a highly fossorial frog that only emerges from its burrow to breed;
- San Miguel Island Frog (Leptodactylus insularum);
- Central American Rainfrog (Craugastor rugulosus);
- Fleishmann's Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni);
- Confusing Poison Frog (Ameerega maculata), a rare anuran endemic to Panama;
- White-lipped Frog (Leptodactylus labialis);
- Mahogany Treefrog (Tlalocohyla loquax);
- Painted Treefrog (Tlalocohyla picta);
- Hourglass Treefrog (Dendropsophus ebraccatus);

- New Granada Cross-banded Treefrog (Smilisca phaeota);
- Panama Cross-banded Treefrog (Smilisca sila);
- Mexican Treefrog (Smilisca baudinii) whose range extends well north of the ecoregion into Texas;
- Pratt's Rocket Frog (Colostethus pratti);
- Red-eyed Leaf Frog (Agalychnis callidryas);
- Leprus Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus leprus, VU);
- Caretta Robber Frog (Diasporus diastema), which is found from Nicaragua, to Costa Rica, in practically all the ecoregions of Panama and south to subcoastal Colombia;
- Lovely Poison Frog (Phyllobates lugubris), which is found in leaf litter in lowland forests and mangroves along the Nicaraguan, Costa Rican and northwest Panama coastline.
Central American Worm Salamander. Source: Sean Michael Rovito/CalPhotos/EoL Salamanders found in this ecoregion are: Cukra Climbing Salamander (Bolitoglossa striatula); Rufescent Salamander (Bolitoglossa rufescens); Alta Verapaz Salamander (Bolitoglossa dofleini, NT), the largest tropical lungless salamander, whose coastal range spans Honduras, Guatemala and the Cayo District of Belize; Colombian Worm Salamander (Oedipina parvipes), which occurs from central Panama to Colombia; La Loma Salamander (Bolitoglossa colonnea), a limited range taxon occurring only in portions of Costa Rica and Panama;.Central American Worm Salamander (Oedipina elongata), who inhabits very moist habitats; Cienega Colorado Worm Salamander (Oedipina uniformis, NT), a limited range taxon found only in parts of Costa Rica and Panama, including higher elevation forests than the mangroves; Limon Worm Salamander (Oedipina alfaroi, VU), a restricted range caecilian found only on the Atlantic versant of Costa Rica and extreme northwest Panama. Caecilians found in the ecoregion are represented by: La Loma Caecilian (Dermophis parviceps), an organism found in the Atlantic versant of Panama and Costa Rica up to elevation 1200 metres.
Chief mangrove tree species found in the central portion of the ecoregion (e.g. Belize) are White Mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa), Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), and Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans); Buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) is a related tree associate. Red mangrove tends to occupy the more seaward niches, while Black mangrove tends to dominate the more upland niches. Other plant associates occurring in this central part of the ecoregion are Swamp Caway (Pterocarpus officinalis), Provision Tree (Pachira auatica) and Marsh Fern (Acrostichum aureum).
Ecoregion threats
Shoreline development supplanting mangroves, Bastimentos Island, Panama. @ C.Michael Hogan Chief threats to this ecoregion are the burgeoning native human population, which is seeking out coastal habitation along the Atlantic versant from central Mexico to central Panama. Additionally the pressures of ecotourism are also taking a toll by development pressure for lodging, boat docks and other visitor serving infrastructure. In many cases disturbance and grading of sensitive mangrove habitats is occurring, with inadequate control over soil erosion and subsequent sedimentation of surface waters.
Reconciliation to other regional mangrove units
The Belizean coast mangroves ecoregion can be considered as a subunit of the Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves ecoregion; this Belizean unit is limited to the mangrove forests in the coastal zone of Belize. Occasionally the Bahamian mangroves are viewed as a partial overlap to the Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves ecoregion; the centroid of the Bahamian mangroves are the fringes of over 3000 low-lying Caribbean Islands, but sometimes portions of the American mainland with a maximum elevation of less than 60 metres is considered as a part of the Mesoamerican Gulf-Caribbean mangroves.

text: Posted 29 Nov 2011 Please Note: If you notice any grammatical mistakes please PM Cochice rather than posting in the thread and cluttering it up. I welcome any comments/criticisms/bounties for my head/etc. I'll also be the first to admit that I can, and probably will, make mistakes here and there, please try to remain civil if there are any glaring mistakes that need arguing. Reason for this thread: This initial post is intended as a comprehensive overview for the Enhancement community. It is not a BiS list. It is not a run-down of all the entry level instances and what they drop. It is not going to reflect the newest, most experimental rotation that still needs further testing. It is meant to serve as both a jumping-off point for new enhancers and a place where players can come for information without having to read through a lengthy discussion. However, for those of us that live and die by these "lengthy discussions," the thread itself will also serve as an in-depth discussion whose information will be adapted into the OP. The information here is intended for level 85 content. Readers should understand a few things. First of all, readers and posters are expected to read everything relevant to their question at least once before posting. EJ has a fantastic search function that will assist you in this. The mods on these boards are not fucking around, and you will be warned or infracted if the answer to your question is staring you in the face. Second, if you're new to the Shaman boards, don't be surprised if you see the phrase "Sim it first," more often than you expect. A link to the EnhSim site and thread is located at the bottom of this post. If you haven't already, I suggest you download it now. Giving Credit where Credit is due: Much of the information contained in this thread has come from countless hours testing from players more patient and dedicated than myself. Some of this information (and lots of other awesome information) can be found here: Enhancement Shaman TTT Combat Ratings at level 85 Crit Cap Analysis Enhancement Guide by Elam Gearing for Raids by Ashunera Cataclysm Shaman FAQ by Slant And pretty much every Enhancement thread on this forum.

[TABLE=head] Skill | Notes Dual Wield | Allows you to equip 1H and OH weapons in your OH, also gives you 6% melee hit and the ability to parry. Awesome, huh!? Mental Quickness | Allows Enhancement to scale properly with AP and Agi while still dealing a significant amount of damage through spells. Lava Lash | In Cataclysm, Enhancement's hardest hitting attack. Melee strike dealing fire damage. Does more damage when FT is on the OH. Primal Wisdom | Allows Enhancement to not worry about mana from gear because it provides steady, passive, regen. [/TABLE] ==Mastery== Enhanced Elements -- Mastery is learned by all classes at level 80. Each spec has a unique mastery which is supposed to bring something "fun" to each class. While our mastery is simply a passive damage modifier, it remains a very powerful stat for Enhancement Shamans. ==On Caster Weapons== As of patch 4.3 caster weapons no longer grant any benefit to an Enhancement Shaman. Unless something changes, there is zero reason to use a Caster Weapon. It's about damn time. ==Unleash Elements== Unleash Elements -- new to Cataclysm. It will do something different depending on the weapon imbue(s) on the shaman's weapon(s). See imbues for their respective unleash. ==Windfury Weapon== The Windfury Weapon imbue is the Enhancement Shaman's primary MH weapon imbue. The design of the class intends for it to be used on the MH in most cases (the exception being FB in PvP, sometime's it's better to have it on your MH instead of your OH). As of Patch 4.0.6, WF now procs 3 hits instead of two, this secures it's place as the imbue of choice for Enhancement Shamans. The instant cast nature of the Windfury proc greatly benefits from slower weapons and their higher damage range. Since there is no way to speed up the cooldown of the Windfury proc, or to proc more often by using a fast weapon, the only way to increase damage done by Windfury Weapon is to use a slow, high DPS weapon. ===Unleash Wind=== Unleash Wind -- Pretty straightforward. Great buff, and usable at range while running to a mob. Recieved a buff for 4.2, making UE that much more important. ===Windfury Proc Rate=== Analysis of the combat log shows that if you sum all hits, the proc rate while DWing is 20%, but that includes hits you make while inside the 3 second cooldown, which cannot actually proc WF. When you remove the ineligible hits the observed proc rate from the eligible hits becomes 36%. ==Flametongue Weapon== The Flametongue Weapon imbue is the Enhancement Shaman's primary OH weapon imbue. It increases the damage of LL, and causes us to proc fire damage on every OH hit. Flametongue performs better than Windfury on the OH in all cases. Flametongue scales appropriately with weapon speed. Slower weapons cause more FT damage and fast weapons cause less damage. As of Patch 4.0.6, FT now scales from AP instead of SP. As of Patch 4.3, FT increases "non-physical damage done by the weilder," instead of increasing spell damage. This means that FT now affects LL damage along with the damage of the FT proc. ===Unleash Flame=== Unleash Flame -- Only LvB, FS and FN will benefit from the UF buff, and as Enhancement doesn't (usually) use LvB in a normal rotation, you will want to make sure that you are consuming this buff with FS every time it is up (if possible). Even if you are casting LvB though, consuming UF with FS is still going to result in higher damage. It's also important to note that if you spam FS at the end of your LvB cast, both spells will receive the UF benefit. If you find yourself in an AoE situation, UF's use with FN will be a significant boost. With the changes to AoE in 4.3, UE's usage will change with multiple targets. UE will affect the spread FS dots when you LL. More than likely, it will be best to FS>UE>LL, and then UE for FN when not spreading FS. ==Frostbrand Weapon== Frostbrand Weapon -- Generally speaking, this is one of the imbues you'll use in PvP. Can proc a 50% snare on hits. Certain situations call for it on the MH and certain are better for the OH. This guide is primarily PvE focused, and I don't consider myself an authority on Enhancement PvP, but I believe the rule of thumb is: if it's heavily armored FB goes on the MH, and if it's not, the OH. PvE boss mobs are immune to the Frostbrand Weapon debuff; Windfury is a superior PvE main hand weapon imbue. ===Unleash Frost=== Unleash Frost -- Great in PvP, especially when playing with someone also using frost based snare effects. ==Rockbiter Weapon== Rockbiter Weapon -- No you're not seeing things, this imbue provides the shaman with both damage reduction and increased threat generation. This is not to imply that shamans are to tank in Cataclysm, however it is nice in a pinch. If you're in a 5 man and you have an extra weapon in your bag, it doesn't hurt to have it pre-imbued and have a macro to swap it into your OH if you need to save a healer. ===Unleash Earth=== Unleash Earth -- Yes, that's a taunt. As stated above, when prepared, can be utilized successfully in a pinch. Also possible implications for gimmick fights. Very likely these gimmicks will involve a ranged Elemental Shaman, instead of an Enhancement shaman, but we can dream. Please note: this unleash is a Mocking Blow effect and not a true taunt. 1 =Talents= A talent calculator can be found here. ==Talent Overview== All talents available to an Enhancement Shaman are covered here. [table=head]Tier|Talent|Notes - | Enhancement | - 1 | Elemental Weapons | Increases damage from both imbues and from corresponding UE buffs. 1 | Focused Strikes | Boosts SS damage. 1 | Improved Shields | Increases the damage and regen on your shields. Unfortunately isn't a huge DPS boost. Generally a filler talent. 2 | Elemental Devastation | Caster/Melee hybrid synergy talent. Increases the value of crit and int. Me likey. 2 | Flurry | Straightforward - faster swings after crits. Again, increasing value of crit. 2 | Ancestral Swiftness | While not a DPS boost technically, since Ghost Wolf is usable indoors now, this talent is one of the strongest in the tree. A must have. Also allows us to enchant something other than run speed on boots. 2 | Totemic Reach | Increases the range on totems, including the bolt range on Searing Totem. Can be used as filler. 3 | Toughness | PvP talent, but lackluster even as that. With Earthen Power, SR, SW and GW to get out of snares, the utility on this talent is often useless. 3 | Stormstrike | One of the main strikes in the Enhancement rotation. Also applies a debuff which further helps with Caster/Melee hybrid synergy. Considerably buffed in 4.2! 3 | Static Shock | Causes passive damage procs on LL and SS, and makes use of LS. 4 | Frozen Power | PvP Talent. Gives a ranged root which is super awesome. Skip this for a PvE talent build, the damage buff portion of the talent doesn't apply as PvE bosses are immune to the Frostbrand Weapon debuff. 4 | Seasoned Winds | Intended as a PvP talent, but lackluster for both PvP and PvE. Can be used as filler. 4 | Searing Flames | Applies a stacking DoT. 5 | Earthen Power | PvP talent. Gets rid of any snares on allies in range when it pulses. Totally awesome. 5 | Shamanistic Rage | Thanks to Primal Wisdom, we can now use this a bit more freely. No actual DPS increase, but situationally incredible. 5 | Unleashed Rage | Supplies the raid with 10% AP, but also gives a huge boost in expertise. Must have. 6 | Maelstrom Weapon | Allows the use of spells that normally have a cast time. Thumbs up. As of 4.3, can proc off absorbs! Happy day! 6 | Improved Lava Lash | This makes Enhancement AoE fun and exciting, as opposed to horrible and vomit-inducing. 7 | Feral Spirit | Our main DPS cooldown. Wolves also have great utility, they can stun, taunt, clear snares and give the shaman a sprint. Unfortuantely they don't hit very hard. -| Elemental | - 1 | Acuity | Straight up crit. 1 | Convection | Available, but worthless to your everyday enhancer. 1 | Concussion | Increased damage on some spells. Solid. 2 | Call of Flame | Will increase Searing Flames tick damage and Fire Nova damage. 2 | Elemental Warding | No DPS increase at all, but depending on the fight, gives decent damage reduction. 2 | Reverberation | 1 sec reduction on shocks, worth a bit more with Unleash Elements in the mix. Also decreases the cooldown of Wind Shear. Makes us Lean, Mean, Interrupting Machines. 2 | Elemental Precision | Provides you with a little bit of mastery without calling it mastery. [/table] =Priority Queue= Like many classes, Enhancement Shamans don't have a set rotation, and instead use a priority queue. This concept is fairly straightforward - the higher a ability is in the queue, the higher priority it has. This means that if it's off cooldown and available, use it, if not, go to the next ability, if it's unavailable, go to the next, etc. Here is what a level 85 priority queue might look like. Sim your setup to find an optimal list. Don't be afraid to mess with MW5/4/3_LB! Please note that when using the sim, if you use sub 5 Maelstrom LB casts, it will automatically check for all stack numbers above that which you entered. So, for example, if you want to include MW4_LB, MW3_LB, and MW2_LB, it's only necessary to include MW2_LB, unless you want them to occur at different places in the list. [table=head]Priority | Abbreviation | Meaning 1 | ST_0 | Searing Totem with 0 ticks remaining 2 | SS | Stormstrike 3 | LL | Lava Lash 4 | MW5_LB | Maelstrom Weapon x5 stacks + Lightning Bolt 5 | FS_UEF | Flame Shock if the Unleash Flame buff is present 6 | UE | Unleash Elements 7 | ES | Earth Shock 8 | SW | Spirit Wolves 9 | ST | Searing Totem (with x ticks remaining, set in sim) [/table] ==Current Priority from BiS Thread== This is what Ashunera has listed in the current BiS thread for the optimal priority queue. TBD 1 =AoE= In 4.3 Enhancement AoE got a massive overhaul. Rejoice! Now that Improved Lava Lash spreads FS from the current target, Enhancement can effectively cleave with massive ramp up and pitiful results. At the very basic level, you will want to FS>LL>FN. However, using UE and dotting extra mobs in between cooldowns will significantly help your output. Note that UE will affect the FS damage of the initial application, but it will also affect the dot damage if your spread flameshocks. In addition, it will affect the damage of FN. So likely the best way to AoE will be to UE before spreading FS with LL. In between LL cooldowns, you should also be able to effectively multi-dot FS onto un-debuffed mobs. Here are some helpful mouseover macros for multidotting. This will simply apply Flame Shock to your mouseover, provided it is alive, and an enemy. #showtooltip Flame Shock /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] Flame Shock In addition to the functionality of the previous macro, this will start your swing timer, and Flame Shock your primary target if you do not have a valid mouseover target. #showtooltip Flame Shock /startattack /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Flame Shock Grabbing Reverb and the Glyph of Flame Shock will help your AoE significantly. You should CL when possible and drop MT with 6+ mobs. This threshold is greatly dependant on Searing Totem's AI functioning correctly. 1 =Stats and Gearing= ==Hit and Expertise Caps== Before focusing on anything else, an Enhancement Shaman should work on being spell-hit capped and expertise capped. ===Hit Cap=== All raid bosses are treated as +3 mobs (or 88, in the case of Cataclysm). While dual-wielding against a mob that is +3 levels, players have a 27% chance to miss with white attacks. In addition, players have a 17% chance to miss with spells against +3 mobs. Finally, special attacks (Stormtrike, Lava Lash, etc) have a 8% chance to miss against +3 mobs. Generally speaking, Enhancement Shamans only need to worry about the spell-hit cap. The exception to this is when approaching the crit cap, which, discussed later. [table=head] Cap type | rating needed (Draenei) Spells (17%) | 1742 (1639) White hits (27%) | 2523 (2404) [/table] ===Expertise Cap=== Expertise mitigates both Dodges and Parries, however since parries can only happen when attacking from the front, and melee should always be behind their target, mitigating Dodge is our only concern. +3 mobs have a 6.5% chance to dodge, which translates into 26 expertise. However, Unleashed Rage grants the shaman 8 expertise, meaning that in order to cap, we only need 18. Dwarves wielding Maces and Orcs wielding Axes or Fist weapons only need 15. It is also important to note that, for Orcs and Dwarves, sometimes it might be only worth it to Expertise cap one of your weapons (if, for example, you're a Axe/Mace combo). As always, sim it! [table=head] Cap Type | rating needed (Orc/Dwarf) Dodge (26 expertise/6.5% to cap) | 541 (451) Parry (56 expertise/14% to cap) | 1442 (1352) [/table]Just in case you wanted to know parry values. ===Crit Cap=== For all melee classes, being over the Critical Cap is the situation where a portion of the player's critical strike chance does not benefit a part or the whole of their DPS. Melee attack types There are 2 kinds of melee DPS: white auto-attacks and yellow special attacks. When talking about the Crit Cap only white auto-attacks are relevant. White auto-attacks are affected by the following factors: Glancing blows: This happens due to the level difference between the player and the Boss. As a Boss is always considered a minimum of 3 levels above the player, all of the player's white melee attacks will have a 24% chance of being a Glancing Blow. Which is a reduced damage white attack that is unable to crit.Dodge: When a melee attack happens on a Boss, there is a default 6.5% chance it will get dodged, and obviously a dodge cannot be a critical strike. This can be lowered and be completely negated with the use of Expertise rating and talents.Parry: Attacking from the front of the Boss causes this and results in parries, failed attacks that cannot crit. Eliminated by attacking from behind.Chance to miss: The white attack's chance to miss for a dual-wielding Enhancement shaman is 27%, which goes to 21% when choosing Enhancement spec, thanks to Dual-wield Specialization. The remaining 21% can be reduced and totally nullified by the use of Hit Rating. Misses can't crit either. Really! Crit Depression: On a Boss-type mob, the ratio of white critical strikes will always be 4.8% lower than what is presented on the Character Sheet . What does this mean for the player? Just that they need 4.8% more crit in their char sheet in order to be doing the desired Critical strikes on the Boss. Earlier tests have claimed there is also a limit to the white-attacks that can be converted to Crits. This is not the case, there is no such limit, all normal white-attacks (not glancing blows) can be converted into critical strikes. These factors can be unified into a single formula, like this: Maximum Critical Chance (MCC) = 100% - (Glancing blows chance) – (Chance to be Dodged) - (Chance to be Parried) – (Chance to Miss) This MCC number is the point where all white melee hits have been been removed from the table. Meaning that all melee attacks will be either glancing blows, dodges, parries, misses or critical strikes. At that point one can only increase their ratio of critical strikes by either adding more Expertise or more Hit rating and only if those are not capped already. However there is still Crit Depression to take into account when attacking a Boss. So in order to reach the true MCC level on a Boss, one would need 4.8% more crit then is shown on their character sheet. For example, if your current MCC value is 70%, you could only remove all white hits from the table by having 74.8% on your character sheet. That point is also referred to as being Crit Capped as any additional Crit Rating past that point will have no effect on the ratio of critical strikes. Crit Cap= MCC + 4.8% ==Stat Weights== While introductory stat weights can be dangerous, it does help to have general guidelines when it comes to prioritizing one stat over another. If you're looking for a quick rule of thumb for Cataclysm, it's safe to go with: Agility > Hit (under spell cap) > Expertise (under cap) > Mastery >> Crit = Strength > Hit >> Haste Don't let this priority fool you, you should only ever have Str coming from weapons (and only in odd cases). As always, this comes with the disclaimer that you should Sim your current gear setup to get actual numbers. The graphing function in Rawr is really awesome for seeing trends. Agility is the primary stat for Enhancement. It provides 2 AP and .00307805% crit per point of agility. Also thanks to Mental Quickness, it provides a whole lot of psuedo-spell power. Gem for it as much as possible. Hit, as usual, is the most important stat for Enhancement until the spell hit cap (17%, 1742 rating, 1639 for Draenei). Even after cap, though, hit still has some value. Even though interrupts can no longer miss (making hit unimportant for utility), you should be getting hit caps from reforging and not gemming, and you can only stack Agi with gems. So, there's no reason that you shouldn't be hit capped. Expertise, like hit, is extremely valuable until cap (541 rating). Unlike hit, though, it has zero value after the cap, which means any point over is completely wasted, so try to hit it right on the money. It is likely better to be slightly under expertise cap than over. Check the sim for optimal results. Mastery great for Enhancement. After Hit/Expertise caps, mastery is THE stat to reforge to. Crit edges out haste in value, but not by much. Still important though. Haste is no longer amazing for Enhancement. Long gone are the days of sub 1.0 speed 2.6 weapons. Since the 30% haste buff to DK/Pal/Druid/Shamans was reverted with 4.0, it lost a lot of it's luster. Also, other classes have a much more exciting interaction with haste (increased energy regen, etc). Since there's nothing like that in Enhancement, haste remains pretty "meh." Strength gives Enhancement 1 AP per point. Not worth gearing for. ==Enhancement Points - EP== Extensive modeling, simulation, and empirical testing (Original testing and theories done by Disquette, Pater, Tornhoof, and Yo!) have led to the development of a system for determining the items which produce the highest DPS in a raid environment. The Enhancement Points (EP) system assigns weights, or scores, to each stat point. These EP weights can then be plugged into mods like Pawn or web tools like LootRank to score items. So, how do you go about getting ahold of these EP values? If you go to the bottom of this post, or just click here, you will see a link to the download site for EnhSim. Go click on that and get it downloaded. You can manually plug in all your character stats in the GUI, or if you use ShockAndAwe, it has a great function that will export all that stuff for you. You'll just need to double check/enter in the set bonuses, weapon imbues, and priorities. After everything is setup correctly, you can click the "Calculate EP Values" button, and go from there. This is also the same as going through the normal Sim process, except you hit the "Simulate" button instead. If you need some more explanation on how to go through this process, Elam has a fantastic write up on on his blog, which you can find here. ===EP Ranges And Why They Matter=== Before using EP values successfully, you must first understand how they are calculated. First, the sim calculates your dps based on the numbers used. The sim then increases the value of a stat by a certain amount, and then calculates your dps again. The amount added is called the EP range. The dps difference is then divided by the amount that the stat was increased by. This gives us our eventual EP values. The sim does this individually for every stat. This is very important: EP values only represent a snapshot of the player's stat values at that specific gear level. They do not, in any way, indicate how those stats will be valued with different gear. Changing your EP Ranges can greatly affect your results. A good rule of thumb is to set your ranges equal to the value of about two gems. Your EP Range values of Hit and Expertise can tell you more than just your current values of those stat. If the EP range on either stat is set to a negative value, the sim will tell you how much the stats are worth on your current gear, even if you are capped. Just because you're spell-hit capped, does not mean that hit is now worthless. Maximizing the use of hit on your gear through reforging is key, and negative EP ranges will help you do this. ===How To Use EP Values=== The dynamics of Shaman DPS are dynamic enough that we will not offer sample EP values. All Shamans are encouraged to use a simulator to determine their own EP values. At the most basic level, EP values are simply a way for you to weigh your stats against each-other. Since all stats have a specific value in game that accounts for a percentage of the item budget, knowing which stats to value over others is important. For example, Agi/Int/Str/Crit/Haste/Mast/Spi/Hit/Exp are all worth the same amount on the item budget. This can easily be seen by looking at gems. All solid gems with these stats contain the same amount of said stat. However, other stats, like AP, SP, Spell Pen, Stam, etc have different budget values, so EP values are a way for us to normalize everything based on a single stat. For Enhancement Shamans, that stat is (usually) Attack Power. After calculating your EP values in the sim, you'll get a bunch of values based on your current gear set, all normalized to 1 AP. So, to use an outlandish example (so as not to falsely give sample EP values that could lead someone in the wrong direction), if the sim told you that Spirit = 4.5 and Agi = 1.5, you would know that the Spirit on your gear is worth three times as much as the agi, and you should gem for it primarily (or your would look at your config, because you clearly did something wrong). This is obviously not going to be the case for any Enhancement Shaman, but it gives you an idea of how they work. ===How To NOT Use EP Values=== Do not use EP values to value a trinket, unless it's a static stat on said trinket. Most trinkets have varying uptime, or weird mechanics. Valid Enhancement trinkets are coded into the sim, and you can check how your DPS changes by swapping them out. Do not use EP values to see what gear you'll want in the next tier. It might be good as a vague guideline, but you can only know how that gear will perform by simming the whole setup, not just checking the EP values. Our ability interactions will change greatly with different stats. Like I said earlier, EP values are only a snapshot of your current gear, and nothing more. Do not use your personal EP values as an End All for the spec. They will fluctuate a lot. ==Set Bonuses== ===Teir 11=== These are the Enhancement Tier 11 pieces: [item]65251[/item] [item]65253[/item] [item]65249[/item] [item]65250[/item] [item]65252[/item] For most, it's a close margin between running 2 piece and 4 piece. The only way to tell for yourself is to sim it. The 2 piece bonus is fantastic, and the 4 piece is mediocre at best. Shoulders and Helm are the best itemized pieces, so that would be a good place to start. ===Tier 12=== These are the Enhancement Tier 12 pieces: [item]71549[/item] [item]71551[/item] [item]71547[/item] [item]71548[/item] [item]71550[/item] The 2 and 4 piece bonuses are both incredible. Get them asap! ===Tier 13=== These are the Enhancement Tier 13 Pieces: [item]78686[/item] [item]78733[/item] [item]78724[/item] [item]78667[/item] [item]78704[/item] The 2 piece bonus is great. It should be your number one priority. The 4 piece is mediocre at best, but it will be worth running only because there is only one off-set option in heroic. Running double two piece on the t12>t13 transition is a viable option. 1 =Glyphs= Enhancement Shamans are lucky enough to have a large number of Prime and Major glyphs that are useful. Figuring out which is best for you will require some individual simulation. Prime - You're going to want LL, and 2 of the 3 others listed. Sim to know which ones. [item]41540[/item] [item]41539[/item] [item]45771[/item] [item]41542[/item] While it's a zero DPS increase, dropping WF or Feral Spirits for [item]71155[/item] can be beneficial on some fights with a lot of movement. Major -- The most interesting glyphs we have. CL, LS (and FN, a bit) potentially provide the only actual DPS increase, however, the utility brought by the other Majors is hard to beat. [item]41518[/item] -- DPS boost, but only in AE situations. [item]45778[/item] -- Currently doesn't scale, probably won't be worth much after the first tier. Still useful as a very minor damage reduction. [item]41537[/item] -- Will save you a global now and then, very useful. [item]43725[/item] -- Provides that much more mobility! [item]41533[/item] -- Provides the same buff as Elemental Resistance Totem [item]45776[/item] -- Very situational in PvE. Awesome in PvP. [item]41538[/item] -- Very situational. Minor Choose your own adventure! 1 =Gemming, Enchanting and Reforging= ==Gemming Guidelines== ===Meta=== [item]68778[/item] is the best meta to use, by a long shot. ===Matching Socket Color=== Socket bonuses in Cataclysm are huge compared to those in WotLK. As such, you will want to match more socket bonuses than before. Since mastery is very good for Enhancement, matching a yellow socket with an orange gem (or even yellow) is almost always a good idea. For bonuses that are 20+ Agi or Mastery, match blue sockets (match them regardless if under hit cap). Other than that, go straight Agi. So far, there isn't a new version of [item]Nightmare Tear[/item], but if one crops up, we'll probably want to use it. [table=head] Color | Gem Red | [item]52212[/item] Yellow | [item]52204[/item] Blue | [item]52220[/item] [item]52235[/item] [/table] ==Enchanting Guidelines== [table=head] Slot | Enchant Head | [item]68766[/item] Shoulders | [item]62346[/item] Cloak | Enchant Cloak - Major Agility (Enchant Cloak - Greater Critical Strike if you don't have access to mnats) Chest | Enchant Chest - Peerless Stats Bracer | Enchant Bracer - Agility, Enchant Bracer - Precision or Enchant Bracer - Greater Expertise if under cap. Gloves | Enchant Gloves - Greater Mastery Belt | [item]55054[/item] Legs | Dragonscale Leg Armor Boots | Enchant Boots - Mastery or Enchant Boots - Major Agility MH | Enchant Weapon - Landslide OH | Enchant Weapon - Landslide [/table] Note: The sim is now modeling all weapon enchants correctly. Generally speaking: landslide > avalanche > berserker > mongoose > hurricane ==Reforging Guidelines== Since Agility is not a stat that can be reforged to, you want to free up as many sockets for Agi gems as possible. As such, reforging for Expertise and Hit caps is ideal, rather than gemming for them. After achieving caps, reforge to as much mastery as you can. Depending on the values of Agi and Mastery, this is very much subject to change. 1 =Consumables= Consumables are pretty similar to WotLK, in Cata; you'll need a Potion, Flask/elixirs and food for every fight. Flask: [item]58087[/item] Also found in: [item]62288[/item] and [item]65460[/item] Potion: [item]58145[/item] Food: [item]62669[/item] [item]62649[/item] [item]62290[/item] 1 =Professions= For those players interested in the stat increases (and other bonuses) that the various professions provide, here is a quick run-down. [table=head] Profession | Source of Bonus | Stat Bonus | Additional Bonus Alchemy | [item]58149[/item] or Mixology | +80 Agility | Extra Benefit from [item]57099[/item]. [item]68776[/item] Blacksmithing | 2 Extra Prismatic Gem Sockets | +100 Stat Points (with Epic gems only). +80 Stat Points without Epic gems | Enchanting | 2 Ring Enchants | +80 Agility. | Herbalism | Lifeblood | 480 Haste Rating for 20 sec. Usable every 2 minutes. Stat equivalent to +80 Haste. Also heals the caster. | Inscription | Swiftsteel Inscription. | +80 Agility | Jewelcrafting | 3 Jewelcrafting gems | +81 Stat Points | [item]52199[/item] Leatherworking | Draconic Embossment - Agility. | +80 Agility. | Cheap Leg Enchants: Dragonbone Leg Reinforcements Mining | Toughness. | +120 Stamina | Skinning | Master of Anatomy. | +80 Crit Rating.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg homicide investigators say the shooting early Sunday happened after the man struggled over a weapon with the man who lived in the apartment.
The apartment resident suffered a minor gunshot wound to the hand and the woman he was entertaining wasn't hurt.
The intruder was pronounced dead at the northwest Charlotte scene. His name and other identifying information is being withheld until his family is notified.

Claire Danes (Sep 23rd, 2012)
At the Emmys, Homeland's Claire Danes wore Veronica Lake-inspired waves created by celebrity hair stylist Peter Butler.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control ($9.99 at drugstores) to damp hair, from the roots to the ends. Next rake a handful of Frizz-Ease Curl Reviver Styling Mousse ($5.99 at drugstores) through hair to distribute.
Step 2: Create a deep side part. Curl sections of hair around a 1″ barrel curling iron, wrapping strands toward your face. Continue one curl after the other in the exact same pattern until the whole head is complete. Let hair cool, then comb through curls with a fine-toothed comb . As you comb, the curl pattern will start to join together – break up the pattern with your fingers to create natural flowing waves.
Step 3: To finish, mist a thin coat of Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hair Spray ($5.99 at drugstores) in an even, all-around motion to set the look.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Annually, the Buff-breasted Sandpiper and American Golden Plover undertake some of the longest journeys of any migratory birds in the world, from their breeding grounds in the tundra of North America to wintering sites in the grasslands of Southern South America. Aves Uruguay (BirdLife in Uruguay) and partners have secured approximately 3000 hectares for both species of shorebirds through good management practices of the natural grasslands.
