Motor officers, also known as police bikers or motorcycle cops, are police units designated to use police motorcycles in patrols. Motor officers are equipped with different variants of police attire, typically consisting of a helmet and boots, but otherwise behave in roughly the same manner as normal patrol car policemen. Only Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories feature motor officers. A fully-functioning police motorcycle model does exist in The Ballad Of Gay Tony, but does not feature anywhere in the game, and can only be spawned using a third-party vehicle spawner. They are set to return in Grand Theft Auto V .
GTA San Andreas
Motor officers in the game ride HPV-1000 motorcycles, which, like other motorbikes, are far more maneuverable, agile and compact than cars. The use of motorcycles also allows police officers to to fire their weapons at criminals from any direction while in a chase. While mounted, motor officers will fire upon the player even is he or she only has only acquired a one star wanted level.
Motor officers are equipped with uniforms consisting of a black with white turtle shell helmet, a black leather jacket, biker boots, sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and black striped pants, They are armed with nightsticks and pistols, and are depicted as African American men (with African American accents). Their attire, as well as their choice of motorcycle, mirrors that of Los Angeles motor officer units employed during the early 1990s, as well as the depiction of both a T-1000 assuming the guise of an LAPD motorcycle officer in 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day and one of the "Death Squad" SFPD motorcycle officers from the 1973 film Magnum Force.
Like SWAT teams, motor officers in GTA San Andreas are one of the only police units found around the state of San Andreas that are consistent in all areas. (e.g. the character model remains the same in all areas despite the fact that Rural Police are found in respective areas and each city has a different police force). For this reason, they sport San Andreas Police Department markings instead of a specific police department designation. Motor officers are most likely the state police, as they appear in each city.
Motor officers behave like all other police officers. They will pursue fleeing players, make arrests, and use a night stick and/or pistol when facing resistance. Their only extra behavioral phenomena is that they will shoot at the player from their bikes regardless of his or her wanted level. Motor officers usually chase you when you have a one to two-star wanted level. They will often drop pursuit of the player after he or she has acquired a large number of wanted stars, being replaced by larger, more well-equipped units. During the mission Reuniting the Families, motor officers used risky methods of attempting to stop the car even though there were armed passengers by jumping onto the hood and trunk of the car trying to pacify the passengers.
GTA Vice City Stories
Motor officers in GTA Vice City Stories are similar to those in GTA San Andreas in several regards. They possess similar equipment, including a beige turtle shell helmet, sunglasses, and boots (but otherwise feature the same beige-and-brown Vice City Police Department uniforms worn by other officers), as well as standard issue nightsticks and pistols. However, these officers ride VCPD Wintergreens, a police variant of the Wintergreen motorcycle.
Much like the motor officers in GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories's counterpart will only chase you at a one to two star wanted level. After acquiring a higher wanted level, Police Cars arrive to chase you.

Vol State at Highland Crest Bluegrass and Barbecue Registration Celebration
Submitted on May 30, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Bluegrass and Barbecue are two things that go well together. On Thursday, June 21 Volunteer State Community College at Highland Crest in Springfield will be combining the summer favorites with a practical purpose: to help students get registered for fall classes. The Bluegrass and Barbecue event is a fun way to get ready for the fall semester, and show students what the new Highland Crest campus has to offer. Students don't have to register on that day. Registration will be open all summer. However, with increasing enrollment students are urged to register early to make sure they get the classes they want.
New students will need to apply to the college before they can register. That can be done online at www.volstate.edu or in-person at the campus. The Bluegrass and Barbecue Registration Celebration will be held on Thursday, June 21 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the Highland Crest campus at 150 Laureate Avenue. It is free and open to everyone. Call 433-7030 for more information. For a map to campus visit www.volstate.edu/HighlandCrest

I've just spent half an hour searching for maps of ice age coastlines. Admittedly my net connection is acting up, nevertheless, I found ridiculously few resources.
Anyone know of any resources on what the Örth was like during the last glacial maximum?
I would interpret "ice age coastlines" as maps showing the land exposed by the lower sea level (since more seawater is frozen at the poles). I'm not sure that's what OP means though.
Yes, that's the kind of maps I mean. I've come across the iceagenow.com site, but the quality of the maps there is poorer than I'd like. It seems as if all the good Ice Age maps have gone and hidden themselves far away.
You're probably not going to find much more quality than those maps. The lowered sea level is a major component and the glacial ice was the other that combined to change how maps of the period would look (plus things like new sediments deposited at the end of the ice age, the relative lack of a Black Sea, and so on; those are fairly minor things, though).
There just isn't enough worldwide research to be able to say "here is an exact 30m DEM of what the world looked like at X years ago" for X beyond much more than 40 years.
I would be happy with a nice 2000x2000 px map of Europe with an estimate of the coastlines! Like the kinds you get in some school atlases. I guess there just aren't that many in the public domain yet.
Hey Waldonrate, with your assistance on FRACTAL TERRAIN and the earth data maps, why not tweakn the Earth Map by lowering the global sealevel down 100 feet (or something) and call it a day? Sure not 100% accurate, but close enough.

MY 'FAMOUS' CC3 MAPS: Thunderspire; Pyramid of Shadows; King of the Trollhaunt Warrens; Demon Queen's Enclave
I've found a few maps of various possible ice age coastlines for individual continents but nothing global that is of any real size. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these, but here are two maps I discovered, one of North America and another of Europe
The Europe map is titled "Europe after the Ice Age" - from comparison with other maps, the sea level is too high already, Corsica and Sardinia aren't connected, for example, and half of the Adriatic is already wet, while the English channel is already thoroughly cut out by glacial runoff.
Anyway, if this thread keeps up, we might end up with a pretty good collection of maps

The Syracuse Orange are starting to develop depth at defensive tackle and they already have a few prospects set to sign with them for the class of 2012. Despite that the Orange will again look for defensive tackles in 2013.One of those prospects is Forestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara's Darius Commissiong. The offer from the Orange meant a lot to him."I was excited I was glad to have my talents recognized."Defensive tackle coach Jimmy Brumbaugh is who Commissiong talks with the most and the two have a relationship that is growing."I am in contact with Coach Brumbaugh and I feel like our relationship is good. I like him a lot he is real chill. I could see myself playing for him."Right now he has not had a chance to visit Syracuse, but he does plan to take a visit to Syracuse this winter."I have not taken a visit to Syracuse yet. I will take a visit up there though probably sometime after my football season.When the defensive prospects heads to Syracuse on his visit he will have some information about them because his head coach Bryce Bevill played for the Orange. Bevill however, does not talk about the Orange much in a way to pump them up. "He hasn't said much after they offered me, when they did offer he told me I don't have to worry about college because I would have the opportunity to go to a prestigious school like Syracuse and that there is more to come."The coach may not try to favor his alma mater, but he does tell his players stories from his playing days. Commissiong shared his favorite story with CuseConfidential.com."The story I like is about how he had played corner and he had just switched from receiver. A huge pulling lineman came around and tried to block him then Coach Bevill was scared and closed his eyes on contact, but when he opened his eyes the lineman was on the ground and he blew up the play."Other than Syracuse the Maryland product is receiving interest from schools all over the country."I am getting interest right now from Boston College, Rutgers, Tennessee, Alabama, and Stanford as well as Syracuse." ...More...

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WUSA) -- Montgomery County Police are investigating a homicide and possible home invasion at a Gaithersburg apartment complex. They have identified the man who died as 45-year-old Cesar Smith.
Captain Paul Starks, spokesman for the police department, says Montgomery County and Gaithersburg Police officers responded to a report of a shooting at 20 Whetstone Drive around 12:06 a.m. When officers arrived on scene they found the body of Smith inside an apartment at the Whetstone Apartments.
The cause of his death was later determined to be caused by one fatal stab wound.
Preliminary investigations show that Smith was in the apartment with at least another male when several suspects came into the apartment and separated them, police say.
"After a brief amount of time, the suspects were heard arguing with the victim and then left the apartment," Montgomery County police said in a press release.
Shortly after, the suspects left and Smith was found injured inside the apartment.
Investigators are looking for multiple suspects.
At this time it is unclear whether or not anything was taken from the home.

A few years ago I shared 20 Favorite Healthy Recipes for Mother's Day Brunch, but this Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole with Asparagus, Mushrooms, and Goat Cheese is another brunch idea that I think would be perfect for Mother's Day, or any time you have guests and want to make a breakfast that's a little bit special.
Breakfast Casserole with Asparagus, Mushrooms, and Goat Cheese
(Makes 8 generous servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 lb. fresh asparagus, washed, ends trimmed, and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
1 lb. fresh mushrooms (or more) washed and cut into thick half slices
1-2 T olive oil (depending on your pan)
4-6 oz. goat cheese that comes in a log, cut into very thin slices (keep refrigerated until you are ready to use or it won't slice well)
12 eggs
2 T milk, half and half, or cream (optional)
1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (Use any all-purpose seasoning that's good on vegetables if you don't have Spike.)
fresh-ground black pepper to taste
sour cream for serving (optional, but good)
Wash asparagus and mushrooms and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Cut mushrooms in half lengthwise, then turn and cut into half slices. Heat a small amount of olive oil in non-stick frying pan and saute the mushrooms until they are softened and lightly browned and all liquid is evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. (I used my new favorite Green Panfor this.) Put mushrooms into the casserole dish.
While the mushrooms cook, trim off woody asparagus ends, then cut into pieces about 1-2 inches long. Add a little more oil to the pan (but don't wipe out the mushroom residue) and saute the asparagus 3-4 minutes, until it is barely starting to turn bright green.
Add asparagus to casserole dish and gently stir to combine with the mushrooms. Season vegetables with Spike Seasoning and fresh-ground black pepper.
Remove goat cheese from refrigerator and slice into thin slices. Layer slices of cheese on top of asparagus and mushrooms. Break eggs into mixing bowl, add milk, half and half, or cream (if using), and beat eggs until whites and yolks are well combined; then pour the eggs over the asparagus, mushrooms, and cheese.
Bake about 45-55 minutes, until eggs are well set, cheese is melted, and casserole is starting to brown a little on the top. Serve hot, topped with sour cream if desired. This can be refrigerated and re-heated in the microwave.

Meet baby Warren! (Last name starts with a G and I thought it was cute). He was a sweet little boy and I loved getting some creative shots with him! He was also a trooper. The studio was COOOOLD that day and we warmed his little area up as much as we could. He slept pretty well for us.
I love reflections in photos. :-)
I also LOVE detail shots!
Ok seriously, this is one of my favorite photos ever. His daddy plays guitar and specifically wanted a shot with the case. The reflection was a last minute idea and I'm SOOO glad we went with it! I can only imagine how awesome this would be printed huge.
Look at that tongue. CUTE!
At the very end, when everything was being packed up, he decided to open his eyes and let us see them sparkle!

Most Domestic Oil and Gas Companies Fail to Cut Emissions
According to a recently released report by the World Wildlife Fund, 58 of the United States' Fortune 100 companies set goals in 2012 to either reduce greenhouse gas emissions or use more renewable energy in their operations. However, oil and gas companies are lagging far behind in this movement. Eight of 11 domestic energy companies on the Fortune 100 have not set internal energy goals.
This is in direct contrast to 68 of the planet's 100 largest companies who recognize the impact of global warming and are making investments in greenhouse gas reductions and renewable energy goals. Sadly, energy companies represent the lowest participation rate of any industry worldwide. The few exceptions are Hess and Chevron who have both set renewable energy and greenhouse gas targets, and ExxonMobil who set a greenhouse gas target.
Why have three quarters of the nation's industrial companies voluntarily set some sort of environmental target? There are a variety of potential reasons including: policy pressures, public relations or perhaps even the forward thinking that sees renewable energy's potential to someday be less expensive than, or at least competitive with, oil and gas.
And why haven't most oil and gas companies voluntarily set environmental targets? It may be because the very products they put on the market directly contribute to climate change. There is also a lack of urgency to act; little pressure comes from investors or policies. An example of a type of policy that was successful in the past is the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA's Toxic Release Inventory, which worked by making large companies publically accountable for which potentially toxic chemicals they use and where they are released. Then the information is posted on the EPA's website for anyone to see.
The planet would really benefit from a similar policy focusing on oil and gas company emissions, or better yet, a broader climate change policy such as a national carbon tax or cap-and-trade program. There are other options that could pave the way towards a cleaner energy future. The federal government could require that a certain percentage of electricity come from renewable sources and offer further tax incentives for wind and solar production. Many companies are setting their own internal goals, but for others such as the majority of the oil and gas industry, they're not going to do anything about increasing efficiency and reducing their carbon footprints until someone makes them.
2012 Retrospective – Were this Year's Events Enough to Spur Lasting Climate Change Efforts?
This year offered several events that shone a spotlight directly on the important and urgent issue of climate change, but the question remains, "Was it enough to bring about meaningful efforts to reduce climate change?"
June of 2012 presented the United Nations Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which disappointed many as international representatives hemmed and hawed instead of establishing true endeavors to tackle global warming. Meanwhile the continental United States embarked on summer heat waves that were some of the hottest in its history.
This year also saw drought cover more than half the country; farmers suffered as their crops and animals died.
Then October of 2012 brought superstorm Sandy, this year's biggest example of extreme weather and a deadly harbinger of the devastating effects of climate change. Can we continue to sit idly by in the face of all these signs that global warming is making broad changes to our planet? Should we leave these environmental problems for our children to face as we continue down an unsustainable path?
The close of the year is a time to reflect on the previous events of the year and make resolutions for the coming year. Let's pledge to make 2013 the year where we confront climate change in every possible way. We can all embark on energy efficiency efforts; reducing what we can and lowering our carbon footprints. Every bit helps. Then it is a powerful combination to offset the rest of our carbon emissions. It would be a genuine shame to let the lessons of this past year slip from our consciousness while there is still time and so much that can and should be done to address climate change.
What is on the Planet's Climate Wishlist?
The Earth cannot use words to speak for itself, but if it could what would be on its climate wishlist this holiday season?
Environmental activists and climate scientists have done a good job of communicating the risks of climate change. Part of the issue is that it's a delicate balance between scaring people so thoroughly that they don't think there is anything they can do about global warming and encouraging people to make any changes that positively impact the environment, even small ones to start. Perhaps we've also underestimated the importance of personal experience.
The facts on climate change alone are not enough. We've had solid, scientific evidence for many years that global warming is man-made and happening right now. However, many people need to experience the effects for themselves in order for the light bulb to go off in their heads. Hurricane Sandy and other extreme weather events are helping people to connect the dots, but now that process has begun the question then becomes, "What next?"
We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the planet. That is what the climate needs and wants this holiday season. There are two main changes that we can undertake to fulfill the planet's climate wishlist. The first is to lower our carbon footprints. Ask yourself, do I really need to leave my lights on all day at home when I am not there? Can I combine trips in the car to drive less or take public transportation instead? What simple steps can I take to save energy and myself some money as well?
The second change is to offset the rest of your carbon footprint. There are many affordable options to make this holiday season a reality, not just for the planet, but for future generations also. Any positive steps you take are welcome and really do make a difference. Although the planet cannot use words to thank you, reducing what you can and offsetting the rest is a beautiful gift and a wonderful place to start this holiday season.
Coal Industry Mega-Player Plans for Climate Change
In a telling and ironic move, coal industry giant BHP-Billiton, is replacing one of its coal export facilities in Queensland, Australia because of its vulnerability to increasingly frequent hurricanes from global warming. BHP-Billiton is an Australian coal company that produces one-fifth of globally traded coal for steel making and is the largest mining company on Earth. The upgrade represents a major investment in planning for climate change. In fact, the company's coal operations are led by Marcus Randolph, who confirmed they are planning, "to rebuild the facility to be more durable to climate change."
Readers of this blog already know that increasingly extreme weather events are the result of climate change in addition to the fact that many businesses are planning now for climate change's effects. Why not a coal company too? The announcement makes it obvious that BHP-Billiton understands that climate change is real and the time is now to begin making changes even if the manufacture of their product contributes to the issue.
Randolph has even warned investors about the implications of remaining dependent on the non-renewable resources of fossil fuels by saying, "In a carbon constrained world where energy coal is the biggest contributor to a carbon problem, how do you think this is going to evolve over a 30- to 40-year time horizon? You'd have to look at that and say on balance, I suspect, the usage of thermal coal is going to decline. And frankly it should."
When a company that mines and exports coal starts planning for climate change it means the writing is on the wall. Businesses and individuals alike should all be working to decrease carbon footprints and offset the remaining carbon emissions. Let's give the planet a holiday present and start doing all we can this season to embrace a cleaner energy future.
Carbon Tax Talks Experience Renewed Interest Post Superstorm Sandy
The issue of climate change has re-entered the public's conscious in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. In fact, there were accusations of a "climate silence" on the part of the presidential candidates until the megastorm hit the Northeast a week before this month's election. Now both parties are talking about a potential carbon tax.
Last week a carbon tax was once again the topic of discussion at the American Enterprise Institute (a conservative think-tank) and the Brookings Institution (a more liberal think-tank) released a paper on it. The Congressional Budget Office also published a report on potential ways to make a carbon tax less of a burden on lower income people.
A carbon tax works by making those that use fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas pay more. When they are burned, fossil fuels contribute to global warming by producing carbon dioxide, which traps heat. Some experts estimate the price tag of a tax of $20 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions to add 1 or 2 percent to the price of gasoline and electric power. Other pundits view a carbon tax as a tax on economic growth.
Whether or not a carbon tax will have the political backing to make it through a divided Congress is questionable. However, environmental advocates are always interested when climate change is a hot topic. Extreme weather has been linked to climate change. So it's important to warn people that if we continue on this unsustainable path of dumping 90 million tons of pollution into the atmosphere on a daily basis that the future will include more superstorms with increasingly devastating consequences.
Climate Change Takes High Toll on Antarctica Peninsula
The hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica is allowing more heat to escape there, and the effects from climate change are dramatic. Over 60 years, mid-winter temperatures along the Antarctic Peninsula have risen 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature rise has impacted annual sea ice's seasonal duration and offshore bulk by approximately 40 percent.
As you read this you may be asking yourself, "Okay so Antarctica is melting, but how does that impact me?" Well, more than 50 percent of the U.S. population lives in coastal areas. Since 1980, eight large ice shelves have broken off the Antarctic Peninsula. As the ice shelves separate from the mainland, they make it easier for glaciers to flow into the sea and melt. As they melt, the seas rise and we have more flooding along coastal areas. All coastal areas, not just on the U.S. coastline, are susceptible to the dangers of flooding. The Wilkins Ice Shelf, which is a floating ice sheet several hundred feet thick the size of the state of Connecticut, is currently hanging on to the Antarctic Peninsula by a thread.
And there's more. Rapid warming is killing off a priceless resource that we're just beginning to discover. Sponges, soft corals, starfish, and sea squirts can only live at constant low polar temperatures. These Antarctic seafloor invertebrates could offer cures to human diseases such as cancer, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, and infectious diseases. Scientists at the National Cancer Institute have already found one such example. These researchers discovered that a small Antarctic sea squirt contains chemicals that kill melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
The Antarctic Peninsula is probably not your backyard, but the losses it's sustaining from climate change could affect you personally. Take action now. Perhaps start by lowering your carbon footprint. Global warming is having serious, life-threatening impacts and we have to do our parts now to turn the tide.

Super Storm Sandy's Flooding Similar to Damage Expected from Rising Sea Levels
Climate change is causing sea levels to rise, and this week's super storm Sandy gave us a preview of the devastation that this kind of flooding can cause. In fact, five years ago, a study named, "Nation Under Siege" constructed a series of 3-D maps using federal science agency and the United Nations' climate panel data that demonstrated what areas of the Atlantic coastline will look like as sea levels continue to rise. The maps from 2007 are eerily similar to the destruction we saw from super storm Sandy. The main difference being that the flooding from Sandy is beginning to recede and the rising waters from global warming are permanent.
There's no denying that sea levels are rising. Since 1900, the world's oceans rose an average of seven inches, according to data from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Those of us that live on the East Coast are seeing higher than average sea level rise. According to a report by the New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force, sea levels along New York's coast range between 9 and 11 inches over the last 100 years.
Super storm Sandy painfully demonstrated that coastal cities are woefully unprepared for flooding and other dangers from extreme weather, which is increasing due to climate change. According to Katharine Hayhoe, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas Tech University, there are three reasons why climate change made Sandy that much worse. The first is already higher sea levels made the storm surge more severe. The second is higher sea surface temperatures from global warming provided more energy for the super storm. The third is Sandy may turned towards the coast because of a record loss of sea ice in the Arctic this year.
Preparing at-risk communities for coming floods and coastal erosion includes determining the best way to heighten sea walls or whether to construct surge barriers to protect flood-prone areas. These preparations require study and then construction costs in the billions. However, the latest estimates from IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm, calculate that super storm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business. It sounds like the time is now to make those investments before further extreme weather from global warming costs more in the long run. We can couple those investments with our own efforts to lower our carbon footprints, which contributes to slowing down climate change.
News Corporation Overwhelmingly Misleading on Climate Change
Five years ago the CEO of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch, claimed that news coverage of climate change in his media outlets would improve gradually. However, a recent study indicates that not only has that not happened, but that the preponderance of climate change information on Fox News primetime and in the Wall Street Journal's opinion page is overwhelmingly misleading.
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), a science-policy nonprofit, analyzed six months of global warming discussions on Fox News primetime programs (February 2012 to July 2012) and one year of Wall Street Journal op-eds (August 2011 to July 2012). UCS found that climate science was inaccurately covered in 93 percent of Fox News primetime programs and 81 percent of Wall Street Journal editorials.
The analysis found denial that climate change is caused by humans, dismissals of climate science as a legitimate science, and derogatory comments about select scientists. The worst part is that this misleading coverage encourages scientific distrust and portrays climate change as a left-wing idea, rather than based on scientific facts.
How many people are misled about climate science by these media outlets? Well the number is in the multi-millions. In 2011, Fox News Channel (FNC) was the United States' most popular cable news channel. During prime time, FNC reaches a median of 1.9 million people plus. The Wall Street Journal has over 2 million daily readers and the largest circulation among American newspapers.
There is nothing wrong with fully examining and debating the merits of policies aimed at addressing climate change. However, it is ludicrous and irresponsible to deny the overwhelming body of scientific evidence that climate change is man-made and happening right now.
The analysis shows that sadly these media groups continue to waste time and effort that could be put to better use in combating climate change. Readers of this blog already know that global warming is man-made and many are putting their energies toward what they can do about it by supporting organizations such as Carbonfund.org. These climate change leaders seek out quick and affordable ways for individuals and businesses to calculate and offset the carbon emissions they generate.
The science is clear. Invest in renewable energy sources and support reforestation projects because the time is now to build a clean energy future.
The Price Tag for Climate Change Continues to Climb
Global warming currently cuts into the planet's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 1.6 percent annually. This translates into $1.2 trillion, and the number is expected to double to 3.2 percent by the year 2030 if carbon dioxide emissions aren't curbed.
According to the "Climate Vulnerability Monitor: A Guide to the Cold Calculus of a Hot Planet" report, the costs of inaction far outweigh the costs of taking on climate change. The report estimates reducing emissions at a cost of 0.5 percent GDP over the next 10 years.
And if money isn't motivation enough, take a look at the almost 5 million deaths annually due to climate change. The report estimates it causes an average of 400,000 deaths each year, mainly from hunger and contagious diseases, plus an additional 4.5 million deaths annually from related global warming causes such as air pollution, dangerous occupations in the fossil fuel industry, and cancer.
The average of 3.2 percent losses to global GDP disguises the plight of poorer, developing nations who are disproportionately affected. The estimate for these countries, such as Bangladesh, for example, is an average of 11 percent of GDP by 2030. This is not to say that major economies avoid the effects either. China alone is estimated to lose more than $1.2 trillion in less than 20 years. By 2030, the total economic losses for the United States, India, and China will reach $2.5 trillion. According to the report, these three nations also will suffer over 3 million deaths annually, or half of all deaths.
A report released in July by the European Commission Joint Research Centre and PBL, the Netherlands' environmental assessment agency calculated that last year global carbon dioxide emissions reached their highest point ever at 34 billion metric tons.
It's time to tackle climate change now to reverse this scary trend and save lives. The price tag for doing nothing is too high.

Police say they nabbed a jewel thief red-handed, as he was running from a jewelry store that he just broke into this morning.
Goldsboro police say they recovered over $24,000 in stolen jewelry when they arrested Charles Stanley short after 2:30 a.m.
An alarm alerted them to Alan Sutton Jewelry on Wayne Memorial Drive and responding officers saw a man dressed in all black with a duffel bag running from the store. Stanley was quickly caught and charged with breaking and entering, larceny, possession of stolen goods and resisting an officer.
Police say Stanley is also charged with the breaking and entering of the Family Dollar on New Hope Road which happened just before the jewelry store break-in. In that case, a piece of headstone from a nearly cemetery was thrown through the front door, but nothing was reported stolen.
Police say they also arrested two accomplices, Lauren Carver and Brenton Todd. They say some $10,000 in damage was done to the jewelry store during the break-in.

General Discussion
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in the CYP27A1 gene, resulting in a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme sterol 27-hydroxylase. The lack of this enzyme prevents cholesterol from being converted into a bile acid called chenodexoycholic acid. Cholestanol deposits accumulate in the nerve cells and membranes, and cause damage to the brain, spinal cord, tendons, lens of the eye and arteries. Affected individuals experience cataracts in childhood, and benign, fatty tumors (xanthomas) of the tendons during adolescence. This leads to progressive neurologic problems in adulthood such as paralysis, ataxia and dementia. Coronary heart disease is common.

I love this idea! And you've got a nice map of it as well. Thank you for posting this.
Little late in the day to get involved in this months comp, but I've had this idea rolling around in my head since I saw challenge subject, just not had the chance to sit down and start working on it. Never drawn an iso map before so I thought I'd give it a shot, happy with it so far but need to work out what elements I'm fading out so that it doesn't look too messy. Hopefully I can get this finished in the next few days before the challenge ends.
This is the Devil's Cauldron, inspired in part by Dark Knight Rises and Interview with a Vampire. Set in a Gothic/Victorian style land the region has been plagued by vampires for centuries who hunted humans for food and sport. In the Capital of Fansalem at the heart of the city stands the prison of Adrastea, more commonly known to the citizens as The Devil's Cauldron. Here those suspected of being Vampires are brought to the center of the city and thrown from the Purification Bridges that cross the huge opening that leads down into the prison. Those who do not survive the fall were innocent and so a prayer is said and their souls purified, but those who survive are clearly marked as the devil's spawn.
The prison itself is but a large pit with a winding staircase around the outer walls that lead up to a path that crosses the cavernous pit, high up from the floor. Dangling away from the crossing are a number of chains that lead back up to the Purification Bridges, though the chains are a a death defying leap from the crossing. Each link of the chain itself is carved with a holy crucifix, so even those that manage to make the jump will feel the searing pain of the holy symbols burning into their hands as they try to climb the rest of the way back to the bridge.
The pit is not meant to be escaped from, but sport in itself for the human spectators as the vampire climb with hope that they may one day escape. Any failed attempts and the subsequent fall while enough to kill a human is but a temporary setback as these immortals wounds repair, hidden in the small alcoves at the bottom of the prison, the only shade they can find as the deadly daylight pours forth into the pit to incinerate any Vampire that would not take refuge in the shelter.

Wasn't sure how I wanted the final look of this image to be, so decided to take a step back with the colouring and use it as an inked sketch from some ancient tome on Vampires that has an entry on the prison, and so I've done a round one draft of mounting it on a parchment background and used the initial description text. Going to work on adding a few more details to the map such as figures, then add some decoration to the page and re-do the text entry.
Good move and a very nice effect, especially in the look of the thumbnail! It looks like an old advertisement, C.19th newspaper. Ah... and whilst penning the response I realise one specifically that I'm thinking of: Mr Thomas Crapper & Sons! Maybe a Devil's Cauldron of a different sort there though.

Thanks for the comments, definitely trying to get that ancient tome look about it, never really played about with that too much so I'm happy with the outcome so far.
(original artists artwork: http://instagram.com/p/MgwkvmHJ2r/)
Ooh, now this is looking quite nice Yospeck! Great job so far.
Gracias Just finished it tonight.
I wanted the text to fit the piece, so it's in some olde English type prose/spelling with very dramatic calligraphy which has faded in some places, due to that I'll put a translation as well! Really happy with the final outcome and stuck mostly to my initial design and lore ideas for the prison. Found the word Adrastea, which apparently has a Greek meaning of "the inescapable one", which I thought very fitting. I wanted the lore behind this to be as important as the artwork and so I put a lot of thought into the text (though I'm no poet!).
The excerpt is a page from Vampyre of the World, an ancient encyclopedia of different vampires or locations where vampire are known to dwell. This page focuses on some Gothic/Victorian/Puritan type land and it's capital city Felsalem where the people deal with their vampire problem in a very "unusual" way.
Full text:
In the capital of Felsalem at the very heart of the city lies Adrastea Prison, the Devils Cauldron. The people of Felsalem have long known what sleeps in shadow by day and stalks them by night, they are no stranger to Vampyre. We have followed and hunted these nightspawne for centuries across the land, but of all cities nary have dealt with the demone in such unusual ways.
Of those suspected of solicitation of the devil to Purity Bridges art they driven and from walls high into pit below art they cast with prayer. The innocent find salvation in death, but of those whose damned souls can find no salvation upon the cauldrons hard floor doth their bones shatter. Yet such a demise is naught to Vampyre.
At the prison bottom do Vampyre dwell, neath the alcoves nestled shallow into the walls, the Undercroft it is named. Upon high sun in the daylight hours tis thither whence the cursed can find protection less their skin and bone and gristle become dust by yonder blessed sun.
And yet there is hope for the Vampyre.
Nay lock nor key doth bar the Vampyre assent, and winding staircase that trails the walls of this tomb do bring them up from the depths and closer to the surface and freely may they glance upon yon dark nyte and starry sky. After the ascent the condemned reach a bridge stretching out across the pit casm of heights that would kill a man stone dead.
Hanging to each side of the bridge is a chain 7 yarde from bridge that can only be reach by a jump, to fail is to fall to the pits very bottom. It is this unusual punishment that I hath yet to see anywhere else, to offer hope of escape as well and punishment is both unusual and cruel were it not exacted upon Vampyre.
This climb is no small task and upon each chain link is carved the holy symbol of OUR LORD as to burn at the hands of the sinful and damned should they lose their grip and once more fall back into darkness.
For those that continue their climb with burning hands and wracked with pain the chains lead up to twin bells that hang neath the Purity Bridges. With each hand the Vampyre rises the bell doth toll and alarm is raised, but nay to cries and panic but to merriment and laughter do man, woman and child gather upon the bridges. As Vampyre climbs the people cast holy water upon it to loosen its grasp and make it fall as if sport to them to be the first to sunder the foul beast.
Of the Vampyre there is no escape from Adrastea and some will live forever as others will die to Vampyre or to sun by accident or even to choose their own ending.
"to the depths thou art committed. rise again as creature of damnation, or rise beyonde us all to find your place in heaven. merciful lord we beseech thee. - Prayer of the Condemned

Sorry I couldn't think of a snappier title for this thread/submission for this month's lite challenge. Normally with my time constraints I wouldn't be participating, but rivers and a River Police Badge I just couldn't resist.
Here is my submission, in progress:
The concept sketch,
the line drawing, done in AI,
and the current, wip,
### Latest WIP ###
I really like rivers.
Looking good! The thumbnail picker just takes the first image from a tagged post, not the one after the tag.
Wow, I've gotta say that this is pretty fantastic. Elegant in it's simplicity. I really love how you can see the elevation, getting that third dimension in there is really hard!
Can't wait to see more. =)
Here is another update for the river challenge.
@torstan: I have to say that I find your tutorials a very good resource of knowledge and techniques. Thanks for posting them in the tutorial section. A lot of the ideas and inspiration used for this lite challenge come from your website.
@Zarylin: Thanks for the comment. I am trying to show perspective and dimension with this map, so I am glad it is working. I also like to keep things simple with my maps too!
Here is the latest wip
### Latest WIP ###
I like the forests and trees, although I want to touch them up a bit more. All I need to do next is water/coast, the atmosphere and put some labels on this map.
Nice. Though in my opinion, mountains need more work on shading/lightning.
Looking great. I agree it needs more shading though, not only in the mountains, but also the sky and the sea!
Good job though!
This one will be tough to beat...but there's a small stream between the little island and the lake (only noticeable when you zoom in) that looks a little weird.

@anomiecoalition: Yes! You noticed that too, eh? I guess I will have to fix that. I just noticed that stream moving in the wrong direction after I posted this one. I think that after I added the forest layer the contour of the land changed a bit, or at least the impression that it has changed occurred. I need to fix it.

I really wish I could get my 10 PC back.
My suggestion is if their could be a Test Arena where you pay FM (or nothing) to "rent" a card for about an hour or so and fight NPC or other people in Test Arena.


text: In a big push forward, Golden Valley, Minnesota prodigy, Craig Taborn's new album, Chants, (ECM) will be released on April 23. This will be followed by a tour which will be aided by a big headlining mini-festival, "Heroic Frenzies: The Music of Craig Taborn" on Friday, April 26 at the Walker Art Center's McGuire Theater in Minneapolis. The Walker was one of 11 Chamber Music of America (CMA) 2013 nonprofit presenting jazz grantees and as a result will be presenting the Craig Taborn Trio. A total of $116,875 was distributed by the CMA— which is the national network for ensemble musicians— to assist with concert-associated costs. In the past, the Walker has presented the music of provocative and influential jazz pianists-composers Jason Moran and Vijay Iyer. Continue Reading →

[♪ music ♪] [Create Now - New York] [Paul Trani, Sr. Creative Cloud Evangelist] [Creative Cloud Tour] [Paul Trani, Sr. Creative Cloud Evangelist] So yes, Terry just talked about what it all is. Now we're going to see actually how it works and how this really starts to change your workflow. So here I am on CreativeCloud.com, and notice I am in the Download Center. So I can go to any one of these apps and download them or even say sort by popular, which, according to Adobe, everything is popular. I thought that was kind of funny. But nonetheless, I can check out any one of these if I'm interested in any one. In fact, what I'll do is I can sort by graphic design or by web. Let's take graphic design and check out Muse. Recent update to it, as I pointed out. I'm selecting that. Web design? What did that say? Web design without writing code? That's crazy. You can't do that. Blood, sweat, and code is what it takes to make a website, you thought. You'll download it, and what happens is it will install this app right here and will give you a progress bar for Muse. I obviously didn't click on it, but I will get the latest version. And while it's downloading, you might be, "Well, how do I use it?" That's your next question. We have the Learn section. As Terry mentioned, we can go in here and you can see plenty of tutorials and training that we have available to you that are actually free and open to everyone. We're talking videos from Total Training, Lynda.com, various partners we have that we give to you guys for free because we obviously flood you with plenty of apps that are available at your fingertips. So that's the Learn section. It will download, as you can see right over here. It will download. I can install other apps as well. I can go to the Files tab right here and I can actually sync assets to Creative Cloud. So I'm going to select CreativeCloud.com. Opens up a browser. See my various files. These are all my files. And all I really need to do is take any one of these— let's take a couple of them. Sure, why not? Dragging them into the browser, those happen to be 2 PSD files. All right. This is an update coming to you guys. A lot of you have early access to it, and we can give you early access if you're interested. Just ping us on Twitter. But nonetheless, we're going to have a folder that you can sync to as well. Again, there will be an update to Creative Cloud desktop app. I now have this folder that it makes on my desktop, and anything I want to sync to Creative Cloud will be a matter of clicking and dragging into that folder. As you can see, we get that little sync icon right there. So that's what is going on. It will sync to Creative Cloud. And as you can see, there is the file. So it is working. You guys can see that it's a PSD. Let's take a step back because there's more than just PSDs in here. This one happens to have 3D in it. I threw everything at Creative Cloud, to be honest with you. Here is a folder. Jumping in here, oh, what's this? What is that? I don't know. Maybe an InDesign file, guys. Yes, that's right. If I could zoom in closer, I would. But look, I didn't output a PDF. I didn't output a PDF, I didn't put it in an email, and I didn't send it to the client saying, "Hey, please tell me what you think, blah, blah, blah." It's right in here. Anyone can page through it, anyone I send this link to. Just a couple pages here. But check this out. I can also share this as well. So right up here. Hey, let's send this link to the client. All right? So again, make it public, send it to jaaassssonnn—that's his real email address—@adobe.com. There we are. Maybe somebody at Adobe gets that email. I don't know. But overall, they can access that file. And it could be any one of these. It could be this file, for instance. Sending it. And it doesn't matter. They don't need anything to open it. Because what happens? When you send something by email and they get a PNG file and your client is like, "I don't have the PNG Viewer 2.0," not that they need it. That doesn't even exist, by the way. But they'll ask you, "What do I do with these files? How do I open them?" "Everything is scrunched down because I opened it up in a browser." It's just the PSD. It's just the Illustrator file. In fact, we can start to play with it some more as we have access to layers when it comes to Photoshop files. So you can see yes, name your layers. Don't do like I do. Not even for my demo assets did I name those layers. Shame on me. Turning on the Overlay layer, you can see how it brings that popup. So I'm giving them an idea of what that overlay looks like. Again, this is how you start to sort of change the way you work. Even going back in here to this file, as I turn that on and off, going beyond just sending them the file, what are they going to do? Call you up? No, no, no. I'm like, "What file are you talking about?" I don't know. It doesn't matter because right in here we have activity. So I can say, "Hey, what do you think of this awesome design?" That's what I do. And I usually misspell words. There we go. Leading question, click, added that comment. That comment stays with that file, doesn't get lost in the email. When email@example.com gets the file, he can come in here and say do whatever, "Change the font for the header." Again, that comment is not lost in my email somewhere. It stays with the file. We've got more coming up. Check it. Fonts. All right. Browse Fonts on Typekit. Let's take a look. With Creative Cloud I get access to all these fonts. But what do we have over here? What did we add? Oh, look. Web Use. Oh, Desktop Use for all of these fonts. And keep in mind I customized the text here. But I can sort by script fonts, for instance. I can see the thick fonts if I want to, sorting down to these fonts. And I kind of like them. Sure. Let's do it. In fact, let's just use this font. Selecting Kari Pro Wide. Sync selected font. So there it is. I could pick some more. I can search, for instance. I could search on Comic Sans. No, it's actually not there. But there is a serif version, which I thought was kind of funny. You guys dare me? Do you dare me? Anyway, so there's Comic Serif Pro available as well. That's not so bad. >>[Jason Levine] That's a good one. [Trani] Behind the scenes while we were talking, what happened? I know you might not have seen it earlier, but I've just synced that font to my desktop. Okay? So again, I have that ability to honestly install all the fonts if I want to. Pick the fonts you want to use and go ahead and use it and it will sync directly to your desktop. So I picked a couple. I'm going to use the Kari Pro Wide. Let's do that for this PSD file. I'll open it up. Let's take a look. Again, boring font. Jason said change it. Coming into that font, taking a look right up here. KRI, Kari Pro. And now I was able to change it to kind of an uglier font. I don't know. Do you guys think it's cool? Yeah. [laughter] Look. I love the honesty. That was great, guys. Thank you. All right. So the design is getting worse. Again, I'm going to fix that because check this out. I saved the file. Keep in mind this is in my Creative Cloud folder. We'll go back out to that file. In fact, I'll just hit a refresh and there it is updated. What did I not have to do, guys? I didn't have to send an email or put it on the server or just print it out and send it by mail. I don't have to do that stuff. It updates automatically. And again, Jason can still comment on it, saying, "That's horrible." [laughter] "Change it back to the previous version." Check this out, guys. You know what? I think I can do that. Seven minutes ago. Click. Oh, look. There it is, previous version, that versioning. Awesome! That is cool. I'm getting a little carried away, but definitely cool, right? Okay, so that's my design and I can send this to anybody with an email address and they can view it on their mobile device, provide comments, good to go. I also wanted to show you Behance as well. Check this out. Running on my desktop I could get this Behance feed and, honestly, get awfully jealous by a lot of this stuff. I can also do a search. Alex Trochut is going to be here later after the break showing some of his cool stuff. Again, sorting by graphic design, whatever I want, I can see his work, either get inspired or really jealous and depressed in this case. But you know what? I'm a good guy. I'll appreciate that. Appreciating his work predates the Facebook Like button, I guess. So nonetheless, I can appreciate that work, get inspired, get jealous, all that stuff, but the cool thing is I can actually post to Behance as well because that's what I'd want to do. I could post to Behance and I can click that button. Or what I can do is directly from Photoshop I can share on Behance from Photoshop. This could be in Illustrator, share on Behance. Takes that image. It's pretty complex. It's 3D. There's actually some other things in there. Prepares my image and now I can post. I've already posted this a couple times. That's why I'm choosing existing, because this is a revision to an existing one. "Is this one better?" We'll do #createnow. So you will see this. I'm posting this to a couple social networks. So I encourage you to check it out. Again, sharing it. It posts to Behance, to my social networks. In fact, as I jump in here to look at my work in progress, here's this piece. I just made it last night. Viewing this work in progress. There it is. This is number 3. Not that much different from number 2, but look at this, guys. I posted this last night. This isn't like posting a video to YouTube and reading the comments and feeling terrible, like, "I need to cut my hair. It's horrible. Why do I talk with my hands?" All that stuff. Look at this. "Clean up the edges." And it is, it's a little dirty right here. Somebody mentions the top of this N looks like an H. Valid feedback from a design community, 1.5 million, in fact. And again, that's my revision that I've posted. Cleaned it up, got rid of those lines. "Best one so far." Oh, that's nice. [Levin] You're welcome, Paul. >>[Trani] Oh, feel the love. Feel the love. Okay. Enough, enough. >>[Levine] A little too much love? >>[Trani] That's good. That's good. [Levine] Are you sure? >>[Trani] Yeah, that's good. >>[Levine] Okay. [Trani] All right. Again, I want to tap in to creatives when it's midnight at my house and I'm posting, and I got feedback right away with the previous design at literally midnight last night people in Europe helping me out and it was great. I can sure enough send my profile to the client, this URL, but I want to go beyond this. This is fine, but I want to create something unique. In fact, you have access to ProSite as well. This is the easiest way to create a website on the Web. See ProSite come up, taking all my projects, all my work experience. You can see it right here. Again, picking the layout. I won't get into this, but I can adjust the layout. I can start to adjust the design. And as this loads, as I roll over some of this content, you'll see things light up. That's just all the stuff I can change. I can jump in, I can change the text, for instance. "Designer not for Hire" since I work for Adobe and I don't want anybody thinking anything weird. I'm not looking for a job. It's just doing that, adding pages, customizing the URL. In fact, I'll just save this and upload it. And you'll see it here in a second. Adding your own CSS as well. Let's view because what else did I do? Hey, forget having YourName.prosite.com. You could have your own custom URL. And no one is the wiser as to whether this is a Behance ProSite or not. You can see some of the stuff going on. Jumping in there for that particular project you can see that content, right? [applause] [♪ music ♪] [Adobe® Creative Cloud™] [Adobe]

Gather Your Thoughts While Wedding Planning
Wedding planning can be quite the scatter brain experience. You get that rock on your left hand and all of a sudden you are rushing to the grocery store to pick up every issue of the bridal magazines on the shelves, google searching crazy wedding combinations ("Rustic Elegance with Orange Accents Wedding" <– you know you did it) so you can gather all your ideas and glue them into your adorable wedding notebook, which is now spilling over the edge. Are you creeped out that I just explained you? Don't be, we all do it.
Well, say "sa·yo·na·ra" to paper cuts, glue sticks and safety scissors because I just discovered something that is going to reinvent your life…seriously. Drum Role Please…. www.pininterest.com . Oh my gosh, this amazing dot com puts the simplicity into brainstorming. What you do is sign up with them (sometimes this process takes awhile because you have to be "invited" to be apart of it- I think they grew a little too big for their britches). Then, you put this tab on your browser tool bar and as you are google searching "Unique, Traditional with Burlap Wedding" into your Google image search, you find something you like, click on your "Pin It" button and BAM. It takes it straight to your "boards" where you can organize all your photos, write comments about what you like/don't like about it and become the world's most organized, sophisticated and design savvy bride ever.
So, save that bridal notebook for the other important stuff (like vows, marriage certificates and contracts) and start pinning. Prepare to be reinvented and rejuvenated, all in one pinning. Ready, set, GO!

After a very long, difficult gestation, a new law has been born! On 4 July 2011 the Romanian President confirmed a new law for the protection and management of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve.
Europe and Central Asia
The European Commission has urged Romania to improve its protection of the Sulina area in the Danube Delta, as new tourism developments threaten to degrade it.
