As I have been saying in recent blogs, most of what we do in clinical ethics, but also in most areas of bioethics, is procedural ethics. That is when we are faced with an ethical dilemma, our approach, whether consciously or unconsciously is usually to try to reach a reasonable compromise or consensus among the key participants that are in conflict consistent with well-established values and principles. This tendency reflects an obvious reality about the nature of contemporary ethics that we often ignore: in the current Western moral setting, our only viable methodology for resolving value laden disputes, whether at the micro level in clinical ethics or macro level in healthcare policy, is to attempt to craft an agreement or consensus among those with a say. Whether we are dealing with patients and families at odds with their physician on how to define the goals of care in the hospital setting or trying to build a consensus of opinion among voters in the political arena, we assume there are no final, authoritative moral answers that avail themselves to us. Whether we like it or not, we humans must figure out ethical dilemmas for ourselves and learn to get along.
Yet the idea of procedural ethics remains very worrisome for many people, including such bioethicists and Tristram Engelhardt, Jr. He believes that procedural ethics, such much of what we do in clinical ethics, is not really ethics in because it is based on convention and legalistic type standards. For him ethics worthy of the name must flow from a content-rich, canonical moral tradition that provides moral authority to our everyday ethical and moral judgments. The prototype ethical tradition was the medieval Christian Natural Law perspective grounded in Aristotelian philosophy. Aristotle assumed the inherent order and intelligibility of the cosmos, which also permeated his understanding of ethics. Humans, like all natural things, had a natural function, which was to be rational. But rational did not mean to that ethics was about finding intellectual or theoretical basis for right action according to rational rules in order to know and perform one's duty—this was Kant's (1724-1804) ethics during the 18th century following the rise of modern science. For Aristotle, the question was, how can one live and embody the good life; so rationality in this sense meant internal harmony between emotions and decision-making that resulted in well-established habits or states of character. This means finding in all of one's activities the balance between excess and deficiency, or what he called the "mean". Over time, forming the right habits according to the mean in all areas of life lead to excellence and happiness or what he called the good life. This was the natural fulfillment of the human function in practical terms consistent with the ancient Aristotelian.

With The Fourth Annual St. Regis International Cup at Cowdray Park Polo Club, May 21, 2011
St. Regis Hotels & Resorts hosted the fourth annual St. Regis International Cup in partnership, for the first time, with Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Official Timekeeper of Cowdray Park Polo Club celebrating 80 years of its iconic Reverso timepiece. This 28-goal polo test match – the first match in the UK International Series - was the most exciting yet. St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras and Jaeger-LeCoultre's brand ambassador Eduardo Novillo Astrada lead the South America team into victory with 9 goals to the Audi England teams 6.5 goals. While a Frenchman (Cesar de Trey) can claim the invention of the idea of a reversible watch and the Swiss watchmakers in Le Sentier (at the then Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre) can take credit for transforming this idea into what is now a veritable icon, it is actually the British (Officers in India in the 1930s) who first expressed the interest and commissioned Cesar de Trey to create an elegant watch to endure the shocks and rough play on the polo field. Now, some 80 years on from the introduction of the first Reverso timepieces in 1931, the iconic reversible timepiece has fascinated collectors and novices alike for its understated style, versatility and complications – made in-house at the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. The British connection with the Reverso has remained strong throughout its history, most notably seen specially engraved, enameled and bejeweled case backs in the Heritage Gallery of the Jaeger-LeCoultre, including the coats of arms of famous schools: Eton College, Harrow College, the University of St Andrews are only some of the few to create engravings… Beautifully enamelled pieces commissioned by the British Racing Drivers Club, The Order of the Thistle, Royal Air force Cranwell College, Royal Sussex Regiment, The Life Guards (British Army), Gurkha Rifles… and the most mysterious of all, a Reverso made for King Edward VIII….

More rewrite on appearances
The way the article explains the appearance of private jets since GTA III prematurally implies the Shamal name has been used since GTA III when these planes are only static props, as is the case in GTA:VC, GTA:LCS, GTA:VCS and GTA IV. Either we remove the mention of non-GTA:SA versions, or note that the planes are not proper "Shamals" because they are not controllable to begin with. - ZS 07:18, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- You can delete that section as the prop jets aren't named the Shamal at all.--Spaceeinstein 07:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'll get to that when I upload better screenshots of the plane. - ZS 07:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thought about separating it into a different section to distinguish it from the Shamal. Unless there is a proper place for this topic to go, it looks like it's fine to be mentioned as a separate vehicle here. - ZS 18:45, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
I added a new "Interior" section where the plane's interior is described more in-depth. Phoenix345 22:01, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
I think the reason why 7 sets of windows are shown in freefall when only 4 are seen on the outside is because 5 of them are closed normally this is because planes windows have flaps that can be pulled down. in freefall the flaps on all the windows are up so that's why it has 7 sets of windows. no gaming errors.Andrew nicholson 17:17, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
- Even with the window flaps down, the profile of the window portals should still be visible from the outside, unless the window flaps are installed outside, which makes no sense at all.
And it seems like you got the numbers wrong. 7 sets = 14 windows; 4 sets = 8 windows; so why only 5 windows instead of 6?- ZS 09:00, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Besides, shouldn't there be a 8 windows difference instead of 5? Because there are 16 windows inside as opposed to 8 windows outside. - ZS 09:08, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
My maths is not very good, the flaps are on the inside and I still believe some of them are closed. I just wanted to come up with a reason so the confusion about the windows would endAndrew nicholson 16:14, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

The shamal on tv in gta IV "im rich"
Hello if someone can get a picture of the shamal from the show im rich and maybe put it on into this topic (Zombotech Corporation (talk) 00:51, November 16, 2012 (UTC))
Random unpilotable business jets =/= Shamal
Why are the unpilotable static private jets in IV and Chinatown Wars considered "Shamals" in this article? If that is so, then the landed jets in III, Vice City and Vice City Stories can also be Shamals.
Please, review this assumption. I do agree that those jets deserve to be mentioned on the article, but they are just random business planes, NOT Shamals, at least not officially.
Also, there are way too many hyperlinks in the trivia section. (Henriquedematos (talk) 14:44, April 19, 2013 (UTC))
- They all look the same, just compare them with GTA SA and GTA V models. The one in GTA IV resembles the one in GTA SA a little more, but the CW one looks exactly like the one in GTA V.Dodo8 Talk
- But that doesn't change the fact that there isn't any kind of designation to that planes which identifies them as Shamals. The CW one doesn't even look like the Shamal in V or SA, calling every business jet a Shamal is just a poor generalization. And if being a parked business jet is being a Shamal then the parked jets in Escobar International and Francis International in GTA III also should be listed on this article.
- I'm going to clean up this page and add a "Similar business jets" section if you don't mind. (Henriquedematos (talk) 15:21, May 11, 2013 (UTC))

Two former North Carolina governors say everyone's going to have to make some sacrifices for America's leaders to find a pathway to reduce the national debt that also brings long-term growth and stability.
Former Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt and former Republican Gov. Jim Holshouser spoke Tuesday at a Raleigh hotel, where a national group called the Fix the Debt Campaign launched its North Carolina chapter.
The campaign was founded by former Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and Democrat Erskine Bowles of Charlotte. They led a national panel that developed a blueprint to cut the $16 trillion national debt that included tax increases and spending cuts.
Co-chairmen of the North Carolina chapter are former GlaxoSmithKline chief executive Bob Ingram and former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl.

Guest Post: The Really, Really Big Picture
Submitted by Chris Martenson of Peak Prosperity,
[Many longtime followers of the Crash Course have asked Chris to update his forecasts for Peak Oil in light of the production increases in shale oil and gas over recent years. What started out as a modest effort at clarification morphed into a much more massive 3-report treatise as Chris sifted through mountains of new data that ultimately left him more convinced than ever we are facing a global net energy crisis – despite misguided media efforts intended to convince us otherwise. His reports are being released in series over the next several weeks; the first installment is below.]
There has been a very strong and concerted public-relations effort to spin the recent shale energy plays of the U.S. as complete game-changers for the world energy outlook. These efforts do not square up well with the data and are creating a vast misperception about the current risks and future opportunities among the general populace and energy organizations alike. The world remains quite hopelessly addicted to petroleum, and the future will be shaped by scarcity – not abundance, as some have claimed.
This series of reports will assemble the relevant data into a simple and easy-to-understand story that has the appropriate context to provide a meaningful place to begin a conversation and make decisions.
Since completing the Crash Course in October of 2008, much has gone as I anticipated in the way of money printing, official neglect of the main predicaments we face, and generally higher petroleum costs (2012 was the record so far on a yearly basis).
What has not changed is the general trajectory of liquid fuels becoming increasingly expensive and more difficult to produce. I know that this runs counter to virtually every news article that has come out recently. It is time to separate the data and facts from the hype. Much has recently been either muddied or presented so far out of context as to be more distortive than helpful.
This entire body of analysis is so large that it will be broken into three pieces.
The first is a general world outlook for petroleum that presents the macro picture, provides some necessary clarifications on definitions, and illustrates that all of the data is consistent with the idea that the world is on a plateau of oil production. Here we note that exactly zero of the major energy outlooks provided by the IEA, the EIA, PB, and especially the inexcusably sloppy piece put out under the auspices of Harvard (the Maugheri report of 2012) all failed to make any mention of the declining net energy provided by any of the new unconventional oil finds. This is a crucial oversight.
The second report will focus on natural gas in the U.S., with a particular emphasis on shale gas, the supposed game-changer that we have read so much about. There are some very important elements to this story, but the punch line is that there's nowhere near "100 years" of this magic fuel, it costs more to produce than it is being sold for at present here in early 2013, and – once we include the idea of future increases in consumption – there may only be in the vicinity of 20-30 years of proven and probable reserves. And that is if and only if prices rise by a factor of 2.5x or more from the current $3.30 per therm market price.
The third will focus on tight oil, often called shale oil (not to be confused with oil shale, a very common mistake), and make the case that, while it may have some modifying effect to the Peak Oil story, it lacks the ability to return the world to anywhere near its prior glory years of ~2% per year growth in global oil output.
The summary of all three reports leads to the conclusion that all efforts to cram the world full of fresh rounds of new debt lending are going to end in failure because the requisite net energy is simply not there to support continued debt accumulations running several-fold faster than actual economic productive output.
Enormous risks are continuing to build in the world's financial landscape, and the continued unwillingness to confront the truth about our global energy predicament is both puzzling and frightening. The conclusion is that our future resilience as individuals, corporations, or countries will hinge to a very large degree on whether or not we heed the warning signs and adapt our lives and habits to the actual circumstances.
The Really, Really Big Picture
The really big picture goes like this: Humans discovered about 400 million years worth of stored sunlight in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas, and have developed technologies that will essentially see all of that treasure burned up in just 300 to 400 years.
On the faulty assumption that fossil fuels will always be a resource we could draw upon, we fashioned economic, monetary, and other assorted belief systems based on permanent abundance, plus a species population on track to number around 9 billion souls by 2050.
There are two numbers to keep firmly in mind. The first is 22, and the other is 10. In the past 22 years, half of all of the oil ever burned has been burned. Such is the nature of exponentially increasing demand. And the oil burned in the last 22 years was the easy and cheap stuff discovered 30 to 40 years ago. Which brings us to the number 10.
In every calorie of food that comes to your table are hidden 10 calories of fossil fuels, making modern agriculture and food delivery the first type in history that consumes more energy than it delivers. Someday fossil fuels will be all gone. That day may be far off in the future, but preparing for that day could (and one could argue should) easily require every bit of time we have.
What galls me at this stage is that all of the pronouncements of additional oil being squeezed, fractured, and otherwise expensively coaxed out of the ground are being delivered with the message that there's so much available, there's nothing to worry about (at least, not yet.) The message seems to be that we can just leave those challenges for future people, who we expect to be at least as clever as us, so they'll surely manage just fine.
Instead, the chart above illustrates that on a reasonably significant timeline, the age of fossil fuels will be intense and historically quite short. The real question is not Will it run out? but Where would we like to be, and what should the future look like when it finally runs out? The former question suggests that "maintain the status quo" is the correct response, while the latter question suggests that we had better be investing this once-in-a-species bequeathment very judiciously and wisely.
Energy is vital to our economy and our easy, modern lives. Without energy, there would be no economy. The more expensive our energy is, the more of our economy is dedicated to getting energy instead of other pursuits and activities. Among the various forms of energy, petroleum is the king of transportation fuels and is indispensible to our global economy and way of life.
To what do we owe the recent explosion in technology and living standards? To me the answer is simple: energy.
Because a very large proportion of our society was no longer tied up with the time-consuming tasks of growing their own food or building and heating their own shelter, they were free to do other very clever things, like devote their lives to advancing technology.
When energy starts to get out of reach either economically or geologically, then people revert to more basic things, like trying to stay warm – such as this fellow:
Greeks Raid Forests in Search of Wood to Heat Homes
Jan 11, 2013
EGALEO, Greece—While patrolling on a recent cold night, environmentalist Grigoris Gourdomichalis caught a young man illegally chopping down a tree on public land in the mountains above Athens.
When confronted, the man broke down in tears, saying he was unemployed and needed the wood to warm the home he shares with his wife and four small children, because he could no longer afford heating oil.
"It was a tough choice, but I decided just to let him go" with the wood, said Mr. Gourdomichalis, head of the locally financed Environmental Association of Municipalities of Athens, which works to protect forests around Egaleo, a western suburb of the capital.
Tens of thousands of trees have disappeared from parks and woodlands this winter across Greece, authorities said, in a worsening problem that has had tragic consequences as the crisis-hit country's impoverished residents, too broke to pay for electricity or fuel, turn to fireplaces and wood stoves for heat.
I think it is safe to assume that all of the people in Greece who are chopping down trees to stay warm are not simultaneously working on the next generation of technology. Energy first; everything else second. In other words, our perceived wealth and well-being are both derivatives of energy.
Like every other organism bestowed with abundant food – in this case, fossil fuels that we have converted into food, mobility, shelter, warmth, and a vast array of consumer goods – we first embarked on a remarkable path of exponential population growth. Along with these assorted freedoms from securing the basics of living, we also fashioned monetary and economic systems that are fully dependent on perpetual exponential growth for their vitality and well-being. These, too, owe their very sustenance to energy.
It bears repeating: Not just energy is important here, but net energy. It's the energy left over after we find and produce energy that is available for society to do all of its complicated and clever things.
Not only is the world struggling right now to increase global oil production, but all of the new and unconventional finds offer us dramatically less net energy to use as we wish.
Where We Are, in Three Simple Charts
One narrative that is being heavily marketed right now is that the shale plays are true game-changers and there's really nothing to worry about for the foreseeable future. Heck, the story says that the U.S. will soon exceed Saudi Arabia in oil production and become energy independent, that it has so much natural gas that it might as well build export terminals, and that there's 100 years of natural gas just waiting to be used.
Unfortunately, none of this is really true. Here's how I can make the case for that assertion using just three charts.
This first chart comes to us from the EIA courtesy of one Mr. Sweetnam, a former director at the EIA who was promptly reassigned to a distant position when his superiors discovered that this chart revealing declines in existing conventional oil fields had been released to the public.
What this graph shows is the projected decline of all known projects in 2009 (so this does not have the U.S. shale 'revolution' baked into it, but I'll get to that shortly), and it shows that those projects are going to slip from delivering 85 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil to just 45 million bpd between 2012 and 2030. In other words, 40 million bpd will go missing. But it's worse than that, because demand is expected to grow, leaving a gap of more than 60 million bpd by 2030.
If that sounds like a lot, it is, but that's just an assumed rate of production decline of 4.8% per year, which is right in the midzone of expert estimates. Some estimate decline rates as high as 6.5%, which would really amplify the drop and the resulting gap.
The top line is showing how much oil demand would grow if it was going to expand at the usual historical rates. The gap between those two modeled states is 43 million barrels. To put that in a U.S. shale context, the EIA projects that the domestic shale plays might deliver as much as 3 million barrels per day by 2020, which is nothing to sneeze at, but even with that there's a projected 40 million bpd shortfall.
The second chart I want you to look at is this one which shows total world crude oil production over the past 12 years:
Between 2004 and 2012, the total supply of global crude oil + condensates (a definition which excludes the non-transportation fuels known as natural gas plant liquids and biofuels) has just flopped around in a tight band with only 5% wiggle.
It bears noting here that the 2004 average spot price for crude oil (using the Brent contract, as that better defines the 'world oil' price) was $38.35/bbl, while the average 2012 spot price was $111.63, or 2.9 times higher than the 2004 price.
Despite this near tripling in price, the global supply is just sitting there stuck on a plateau. Economically speaking, this is not supposed to happen. What is supposed to happen is that suppliers will react to these higher prices and deliver more to the market, and then prices will settle down. But that hasn't happened, which indicates that global oil supplies are, as expected, constrained by something other than market forces.
This brings us to the third chart of global spending on oil projects:
What also happened during the time that global supplies of crude oil were undulating along that 5% plateau? Global expenditures on oil projects jumped by 100% from $300 billion per year to $600 billion. With a 100% increase in capital spending by the petroleum industry, we saw petroleum supplies remain more or less stuck in the exact same spot.
I am of the impression that $600 billion a year is a lot of money and that the people dedicating that capital are applying it to the very best projects available. I make the further assumption that when a project is identified and pursued, it is brought on line as rapidly as possible. There are not that many ways to look at this data other than noting that we are spending more and more to get the same...for now.
If you want to know why oil costs over $110 on the world stage, the last two charts above give you the answer: There's just not that much of it to go around.
Despite all of this effort and expense, the world is basically treading water with respect to overall production. The reason for that is contained in the first chart out of these three: The race is now on to bring new projects on line quickly enough to offset the losses from existing fields.
Petroleum is neither a U.S. issue nor any other specific country's issue, but rather a global commodity of immense importance. While the development of the shale plays in the U.S. is of domestic importance, it has not altered the global dynamic of static oil production – at least not detectably in the global supply charts. Not yet.
Conclusion (to Part I)
In Part II: How Energy Woes Will Trigger Financial Crisis, we look at the latest global petroleum supply and demand data and see clearly that cheap oil has become extinct. That era is over for humankind.
My prediction is that the underlying rates of depletion will continue to fight the recent production gains in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world until they soon come to a standstill, eventually swamping even heroic efforts.
Steadily rising energy costs and decreasing net energy yields will simply not be able to fund the future economic growth and consumptive lifestyles that developed nations are depending on (and that developing nations are aspiring to). In fact, the persistent global economic weakness we've been experiencing over the past years is an expected symptom of the throttling constraint decreasing net energy places on growth.
If you care about the future of the economy, your standard of living (or that of your children), and/or your quality of life, you need to fully understand this relationship between growth and net energy. Your individual future (and our collective one) depends on it.

One factor that has not been taken into account here is that we really don't know very much about the size of OPEC reserves. They could be much smaller than we think - but they could also be much bigger. After all, why should the Saudis and others keep pumping oil out of the ground at full speed, when all they get in return is a stockpile of soon-to-be-worthless dollars? That would be a poor way to squander their grandchildren's inheritance. Better to just leave it in the ground, pretend they can't pump any faster, and only sell as much oil as needed to support their lavish lifestyle.
If this is the case, then the only way to get them to pump faster would be to be able to offer them something of lasting value in return, something they could trust would be worth at least as much in their grandchildren's time as it is now. And that certainly rules out dollars!

All these countries have 'americans' at the gates.
And the 'americans' want the oil to flow fast out, not to stay underground so to secure the future.
'Americans' want it now. They want to consume it all.
And when you do not give what 'americans' want, 'americans' take. They already do.
Very Brown Baby Mao. Excrement.
Most important piece of defecation left on roadside:
All these countries have Chinese citizenism citizens blobbing up at high rates.
And the Chinese citizenism citizens want their crap to flow fast out, not to stay inside so to manure the roadsides.
Chinese citizenism citizens want to poop now. They want to excrete on it all.
And when you do not give what Chinese citizenism citizens want, Chinese citizenism citizens poop their pants. They already do.
Your bias aside, this is pretty much correct (sometimes people down-arrow on delivery and not on the message content).
One of the Forbes clan (uber-capitalist) stated pretty much this very thing back in the 1970s. He'd said that the US should use up everyone else's oil first. (and the implication would be that the US would be applying a national protection on its oil sources, something that doesn't smack of capitalistic means)
China will do the same thing eventually. It's a toss-up as to who is going to fare worse...
Peak oil alarmists have been at this for too long.
WTI may go for another run up, but the longer term trend is down.
Supply may not be endless, but there's enough KNOWN reserves in the ME alone to handle 2007 global consumption for the next 200 years.
Infinite-earthers have louder voices...
It's about AFFORDABILITY. PERIOD! And on this count it's certain that the existing reserves will hold out longer- demand WILL drop as people become increasingly more poor ($$s wise).
I think you have an error in your math. 2007 consumption was ~80 million barrels per day. 80 million barrels times 365 days in a year times 200 years = 5.84 Trillion barrels of oil. I doubt there are confirmed reserves anywhere near that big. Maybe off by a couple orders of magnitude?
Chart could apply to any commodity.

Please, just for once post it all.
ZH is a nice fishing pond but I rather eat meat, and i'm dutch so paying for it.......
Technology is expanding at exponential rates.
The energy problem will be resolved cleanly when it is cost effective to do so.
In the mean time, let's exploit the fuck out of carbon based solutions and enjoy a comfortable standard of living.
I'm always amazed by the addition of new reserves that pop up out of no where when the price of energy goes up enough to make projects feasible.
And, when the price of retrieving oil or gas gets to a certain point, alternatives will magically appear on the market.
Shit that nobody has even dreamed of yet.
Do you *really* believe the nonsense you just wrote?
"Technology is expanding at exponential rates."
No metrics given... and since "technology" is really only "process," it's basically meaningless. You have to have both energy AND materials (does the word PHYSICAL mean anything to you?) in order for "technology" to do squat.
Law of diminishing returns. Jevons Paradox. On and on...
"I'm always amazed by the addition of new reserves that pop up out of no where when the price of energy goes up enough to make projects feasible."
I am always amazed that ths shit that I'm able to brew in my head as well. Again, no metrics given: what was the "amazement" level? how many times has this occurred? what "projects?" and how "feasible" were they? are they still producing/profitable? and, how scalable?
Must have double pumped the return key.
"Return key." Is that what you call it?
One of those old-schoolers still stuck in the land-of-plenty thinking... "Retirement" probably not working out so now is paid to infuse confusion (what the hell, it helps me out by allowing me to prepare before the herd stampedes- I just detest lying and stupidity).
Sometime ago I saw that item where all the water in the world would fit inside a sphere of radius=960 miles or something like that. Indeed spheres are efficient containers. Anyway that got me to thinking - suppose there was a one inch deep layer of oil about the entire globe. For arguments sake, suppose it is seven miles down. How much oil is that?
earth radius at seven miles down = 3,952
inches per mile = 63,360
sphere vol = (4/3)(pi)r^3
gallons per barrel = 55
cubic inches per gallon = 231
2030 fcst global oil consumption barrels per day = 104,000,000
earth radius in inches at 7 miles = A = 250,398,720
one inch less = B = 250,398,719
volume of A = 65,763,500,613,995,300,000,000,000
volume of B = 65,763,499,826,089,900,000,000,000
difference = 787,905,393,899,602,000
in gallons = 3,410,845,861,037,240
in barrels = 62,015,379,291,586
days at 2030 rate = 596,302
years at 2030 rate = 1,634
Do I think we have over 62 trillion barrels of oil remaining? Not necessarily. I just want to remind everybody how large a body the earth is and how much it can hold. This and the fact that the US military has yet to ween land or air systems off of oil tell me that the end is not near for liquid petrol fossil fuels.
Here you go...
I cannot find the one that also shows the oil endowmwnt, it does show the oil as a pinhead though....
How many Skittle and Unicorns could it hold?
No, this is fucking nothing more than a BS distraction in order to discredit. FACT: there is NOT an even distribution of geology "underneath" just as there is no even distribution of geology on TOP (where anyone who doesn't have their head stuffed into the ground could see).
"This and the fact that the US military has yet to ween land or air systems off of oil tell me that the end is not near for liquid petrol fossil fuels."
You're waiting for the US military to give you the signal?
The US military has been warning about all of this for quite some time, and it HAS been working on various alternative energy sources. No, wait! Myabe you're right, you're so important that I'm POSITIVE that the US military consults with you at EVERY opportunity, just like they did when developing the stealth bomber!
Remember when oil was 50 cents?
now its 100 dollars?
When the fuck is the austrian price mechanisim going to kick in?
Petroleum enabled the proliferation of millions even billions of worthless lazy bastards. Once the party is over, everyone will have to earn their living, literally.
exactly, the big problem is not that there are no alternatives, there are, but it is that the capital (time / money / human) is being hopelessly squandered by these crooks at the top. Think the energy, drive, passion ambition that went into Apollo could not be remobilized, think the level of global talent is not immense today ? But no that would require capital (controlled by the banksters and diverted by the fed into unproductive endeavors) , skills (many smart people abandon science due to lack of social monetary cultural recognition) , leadership (with the pathetic excuses for presidents in the US for a while is there a need to say more ?).
Lotta morons squandering it in SUVs at the bottom too buddy...
I voted you up 'cuz I'm feeling un-American today.
Thanks I needed that...
Still can't believe you got junked for the stonework....
This was inevitable with or without any government! (go forth and multiply!) The ONLY thing that was ever subject to change is the timing of the outcome.
Perpetual growth on a finite planet is NOT possible. I don't care how wonderful science/skills/technology/human nature is or would become, it's a PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY to endlessly grow!
easter island is the metaphor for the future of humans, appropriately named, also.
Those fuckers! Teach them! See what over-regulation and government interference does to a people?! They just never were able to get technology rolling! (ha ha! there's a pun in there!)
We KNOW the real "solutions," damn it! We're SO much smarter!
It is sorta sad that the /sarc flag was deemed necessary...
Chris, you know that Porter Stansbury will disagree vehemently. In spite of all the doom & gloom from him one day, the next day he'll be totally 'in the tank' for the US Energy interests. Whatever it takes to sell his subscriptions, I guess. I've stopped reading my paid subscriptions to Porter some time ago.
At some point in the future, 5 or 6 billion years from now or so, planet Earth will be consumed by our Sun as it expands into its Red Giant stage. All the arguing, fighting, killing, destroying, wasting, hating, filth, love, happiness, and anything else that makes up humanity will simply no longer matter. It will be gone. All of it.
There is far too much value put on 'human' life. We need to get over ourselves. We are NOT the top of the food chain, as far as life forms go, I can assure you. The human race is flawed in so many ways. If you ask me, the experiment failed. The genetic manipulation of the monkey mind just wasn't anywhere NEAR where it should have been, thus the 'Fall of Man'. Whether or not our Universe as a whole is yet another experiment, remains to be determined.
People with genetic defects (Down Syndrome), 'old' people, malnourished children, would, under normal conditions of survival common on this planet for millions of years, not live very long. The fact that we had the parabolic energy spike over a couple of hundred years (oil) allowed the planet to circumvent normal darwinistic survival of the fittest. For a fleeting instant, a mere whisper of geological time, humanity was able to negate the laws of nature. Defective creatures, who normally would NOT survive, were able to live full, relatively normal lives.
These are the people, knowing that they are at a disadvantage, that champion the cause of the liberal, the socialist, and the egalitarian. They need to work the system to negate their unfair lot in life. Not only are these types surviving, but also there are exponentially more of them.
Once the oil is gone, humanity will by necessity return to a simpler way of life (Kunstler). There will be a great die-off, in the mean time. This poor blue and white marble simply isn't capable of sustaining the demands of all the life forms upon it.
All the fighting you see going on right now is over real estate and resources. The Inuits, Malians, Kurds, Egyptians (and the rest of the Arab world who came from riding camels and living in tents in the sand ) all have TOO MANY PEOPLE and TOO FEW RESOURCES. Until there's a die-off, there will be no letup.
I know,'You First' will be the chorus of many. I've actually not had a bad life, and lived at an exceptional time in the history of mankind. The future that I envision, however, does not inspire me to 'live long and prosper'. The future of this planet is one of extinction. The Fermi Paradox, 'where are they?', implies that if there are so many possible planets with life on them out there, why don't we hear from them? Well, first of all, I think we HAVE. But, I cannot provide proof of that. The overwhelming conclusion is that either there is no other life in the universe, they haven't reached technological age yet, or, THEY HAVE ALL DESTROYED THEMSELVES. Sadly, the latter conclusion, based on observation of OUR planet, is the one I subscribe to.
Persons living in past ages, Romans, the Renaissance era, even early America, lived free and relatively uncomplicated lives. NOW, with the huge numbers of people constantly clawing at each other, there is no peace. There is no happiness. There is poverty, hunger, emnity, and struggle.
I do not envy the future inhabitants of our blue marble. If there are any.
Once the oil is gone, humanity will by necessity return to a simpler way of life (Kunstler). There will be a great die-off, in the mean time. This poor blue and white marble simply isn't capable of sustaining the demands of all the life forms upon it.
You mean even if we managed somehow to work together, we could never possibly improve our relative ability to distribute survival resources on this planet? No matter what?
Lighten up, Francis.
Do you have any math to show how many people you suppose the world can support? A great deal of energy is used to power cruise ships, airlines, shipping materials here and there all over the planet to manufacture goods for slightly higher profit margins, to push a single person to work in a 4500-pound steel cage an hour each way.
A tremendous amount of energy is diverted for use in wars, and the never-ending arms race (who are we racing against?)
There is no reason that a person with Down's Syndrome could not be trained to harvest food-crops like anyone else. Many Down's Syndrome children are able to complete a high school education, provided the chance. As well, this and may other maladies can be screened for with modern technology.
Which resources are there insufficient amounts of? First of all, there must be a stabilization in population; if you just provide more food and energy, the population will just grow to match; it seems humanity as a whole is, in fact, no better than yeast. Other than, we have the ability to make the jar larger, to convert our environment to suit ourselves.
On the contrary, we are the greatest species we know exists. Like Arthur C. Clarke said, two possibilities exist; either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
Your claim that people in Roman, Renaissance, early America lived somehow better lives shows you subscribe to some pretty hefty historical romanticism. Keep in mind, the people you may be identifying with, probably owned slaves who did all the hard work.
When archeologist read these comments their going to be as confused as we are reading proto-Elamite.
Another thought what will be the last word posted on this site?
Shale plays have occured at the end of just about every mining boom.The hype about it being a revolutionary way of uncovering untapped resources is not new. Has only amounted to failure thus far.

Scientists, state officials and seafood harvesters came together today for a summit to discuss the threat posed by one unwelcome visitor to the shores of Maine: the invasive European green crab. The creature first came to Maine about 200 years ago, carried over unintentionally by ships from Europe. The warming of the ocean has helped numbers explode in recent years, and that's proving a headache for many of the state's shellfish harvesters, since clams and oysters are a particular favorite of these critters. Green crabs are also having a devastating effect on much of the state's shoreline habitat, where they're damaging eel grass beds. Tom Porter has more.
State officials used the summit to release full details of a one-day green crab survey carried out in August to try to get an idea of just how widespread they've become. Traps were set at nearly 30 locations up and down the Maine coast.
"Out of more than 200 traps that were set, nearly all of them caught at least some crabs - a lot of them had more than 100 crabs per trap in them," says Darcie Couture, a former scientist at Maine's Department of Marine Resources who is now working as a consultant carrying out research into the green crab problem.
State officials acknowledge that the survey was not a highly scientific one. For example, the samples were trapped using different methods. But Couture says there is an unavoidable conclusion to be drawn.
"The real big picture that came out of it was that green crabs are, in fact, a statewide issue," she says. "That's definitive now, there's no question about that. And it really brought the idea that green crabs are here in Maine causing a lot of problems to the forefront."
Couture says this study is being viewed as a starting point. The biggest challenge now facing researchers is finding a use for these crabs.
"Removal efforts, like trapping and fencing and some of the other stuff that's being done, are expensive to carry out and there's really no way to fund those things other than maybe some small initial grant money, or some money from the towns, but that's certainly not going to last very long," Couture says. "So everyone agrees that the key component to keeping green crab removal efforts underway is going to be to find a market for them."
She says a number of potential uses for green crab were discussed at the summit, including "using them as bait in the lobster fishery, which the Canadians have managed to do fairly successfully. Some of the other main uses would be as supplements to aquaculture feed, or nutritional supplements, which is work that's underway at a couple of different university groups."
Green crabs are also a potential food source for humans. The only drawback is that, while the meat is tasty enough, there's not much of it.
"Those are some of the things that they're looking at," Couture says. "If any combination of those things were able to come through it would be a real boon for creating an economic driver to keep the green crab removal efforts going."

Stephen "Steve" P. Burg, born in New Jersey and a alumni of the Film Graphics and Animation program at the California Institute of the Arts, is a designer and a self-taught illustrator who originally designed the Promellian battle cruiser for Ron Thornton in 1986 for the movie Night of the Creeps, which was later reused for the Star Trek: The Next Generation third season episode "Booby Trap". Burg, a member of Foundation Imaging, also made conceptual artwork for the USS Voyager's crash landing in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Timeless" [1] as well as creating with Dan Curry and John Teska Species 8472 for Voyager (VOY Season 4 DVD special feature, "The Birth of Species 8472"), and on which he authored an article for the UK publication Effects Special. In 2001 he worked as visual effects art director on the Director's cut version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and was interviewed for Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2.
As CGI illustrator, Burg has contributed to several outings in the Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar series.
Burg worked as animator, conceptual artist, illustrator, and storyboard artist on projects such as the adventure The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), the horror film The Wraith (1986), the science fiction adventure The Abyss (1989), the science fiction film Total Recall (1990), the science fiction sequel Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), J. Michael Straczynski's television series Babylon 5 (1993), the science fiction films Contact (1997) and The Matrix (1999), the animated Titan A.E. (2000), Bryan Singer's superhero adaptation X-Men (2000), the science fiction comedy Evolution (2001), the remake The Time Machine (2002), the fantasy film The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), the science fiction film AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004), and more recently the Alien prequel Prometheus (2012).

When the Mojo went on a diet to become the Mojo SL, it proved Ibis isn't one to rest on successes. This is an important statement to make for a company that, despite its rich mountain bike history, is still a relatively new player in the modern mountain bike market. Now, The Mojo SL has evolved even further into the Mojo SL-R. It's leaner and meaner -- and we've stuck to its purpose-built XC intentions by dressing it in our SRAM X0-X9 Complete Bike build kit.
The Mojo SL-R uses a new molding process to shave a third of a pound from the weight of the SL. A size large frameset with the Fox RP23 rear shock weighs just under five pounds, and our sources at Ibis tell us that it's nearly as stiff as the Mojo HD frame. This is an understated way to say that the SL-R possesses a remarkable stiffness/weight ratio. The stiffer frame will steer better and allow more accurate tuning of the front and rear suspension.
The 140mm rear suspension design stays largely the same. The dw-link controlled movement provides an optimal blend of all-mountain suspension characteristics. One of the most notable traits is its natural anti-squat tendency. The position of the linkages creates resistance in the suspension to the rearward transfer of mass and subsequent compression (squat) of the rear end as you stomp the pedals and accelerate.
This anti-squat transfers your pedal input into forward motion instead of "monkey motion." According to Dave Weagle, the dw-link creator, the anti-squat properties built into the Mojo SL-R rear suspension allow Ibis to use a more lightly damped shock, which translates into greater bump sensitivity, traction, and control in all trail situations. The Mojo SL-R has that 'buttery smooth' feel of a coil spring without the weight penalty. With the dw-link, the chainstay length increase is minimal and occurs at a constant and smooth rate. Pedal feedback as the suspension cycles is nominal and doesn't markedly change from the small to the big ring.
Out back, Ibis specs the latest Fox RP23 rear shock with Kashima Coat and Adaptive Logic Boost Valve. Just like its effect on the front forks, Kashima Coat creates a slicker, more durable finish on the shock shaft. This allows the rear suspension to respond to bump input with greater sensitivity. Up front, we've followed suit with a Float 140 CTD.
Like the Mojo SL-R's 142mm rear thru axle, the fork is equipped with a QR15 axle. This provides a stiffer wheel/dropout interface so the Easton EA70 XCT wheels can perform to their full potential. The wheels ships with tubes installed, but are tubeless ready for future upgrading. Dual compound, 2.25in Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires provide an ideal mix of low rolling resistance with good traction in a variety of conditions.
SRAM gets the nod for drivetrain duty on this build, covering the cranks and rear derailleur with X0 components, while leaving X9 to cover the shifters and front derailleur. A SRAM PG-1050 11- 36T cassette and PG-1051 chain complete the picture. For stopping, four piston X0 Trail brakes ensure there's power to spare.
For the cockpit, an Easton EA70 stem, handlebars, and seatpost with a Selle Italia saddle keep weight low while providing comfort-enhancing ergonomics. The Ibis Mojo SL-R/SRAM X0-X9 Complete Bike comes in sizes Small through X-Large and two colors; DB5 Silver and Matte Clear/Blue.

Getting a Canadian Visa
Can I apply for a study permit?In most cases, you must obtain a study permit if you want to study in Canada.
To be eligible to study in Canada;
- You must have been accepted by a school, college, university or other educational institution in Canada.
- You must prove that you have enough money to pay for your:
- tuition fees
- living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada and
- return transportation for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada.
- You must be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and not be a risk to the security of Canada. You may have to provide a police certificate.
- You must be in good health and willing to complete a medical examination, if necessary.
- You must satisfy an immigration officer that you will leave Canada when you have completed your studies.
In some cases, you do not require a study permit to go to school in Canada. If you wish to study in a short-term course or program you do not need a study permit if you plan to take a course or program in Canada that lasts six months or less. You must complete the course or program within the period authorized for your stay in Canada.
Even if you do not need a study permit, it is a good idea to apply for a permit before you come to Canada. If you decide that you want to continue your studies in another program after you complete your short-term course or program, you must apply through a Canadian visa office outside Canada for a study permit if you do not already have one.
How to Apply?
- Obtain and print the application package.
The package includes the application guide and all the forms you need to fill out. Download and print the application package on the Canadian Government Website.
- Determine where you will submit your application.
You must submit your application to the visa office that is responsible for the country or region where you live. Find a list of visa offices.
- Collect the documents you need to apply.
Here is a list of the documents you will need to apply for a study permit. You can find information on fees and other local requirements on the website of the visa office serving your country or region.
- Complete your application for a study permit.
Fill in the forms carefully and completely.

There is a fee to apply for a study permit. In many countries, the processing fee can be paid in the local currency. You should check the website of the Canadian visa office serving the country or region where you live for additional information on fees, including how to pay them. The processing fee will not be refunded, even if your application is not accepted.
- Check your application.
Make sure your application is complete and that you include the necessary documents. Use the document checklist that is included in the application kit. Consult the website of the Canadian visa office serving the country or region where you live to determine if you need to fill out any additional forms or provide any additional documents.
- Submit the application form.
Sign and date the application form, and be sure you include the receipt for the processing fee. Submit the application form to the Canadian visa office that serves the country or region where you live. Find a list of visa offices.
- Supply additional information or documents.
After the visa office receives your application, it might request more information or documents.
Arriving at the AirportThe Canada Border Services Agency officer will ask to see your travel documents when you arrive in Canada. Make sure they are not packed in your luggage, and that you have them with you. This will help speed up your entry to Canada.
You should be ready to show the following documents:
- a valid passport or travel document
- the letter of introduction from the visa office that you received when your study permit was approved (this letter contains your permit reference number and the CBSA officer needs this letter to issue your study permit)
- a valid temporary resident visa (if required)
- a copy of the letter of acceptance from the school at which you are permitted to study
- proof that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Canada and
- letters of reference or any other documents recommended by the visa office where you applied.
Renewing your study permitIf you want to extend your stay in Canada as a student, you must complete the Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada. Check the expiry date on your study permit, and make sure you apply before that date. You should apply for renewal at least 30 days before your current permit expires.
- The package includes the application guide and all the forms you need to fill out. Download and print the application package.
- If you apply for a renewal of your study permit, and the permit expires before you receive an answer, you can continue to study in Canada under the same conditions until you receive a decision.
- You should apply to renew your study permit if you intend to travel outside Canada and your permit will expire while you are travelling.
- You cannot extend your study permit beyond the expiry date on your passport.
- If your study permit has expired, and you have not applied for an extension, you must leave Canada.

May 6, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Younger military veterans who served in the years following the Sept. 11 attacks are having a hard time finding work.
The unemployment rate for veterans between 18 and 24 exceeded 20 percent last year. It was also in double digits for those 25-34. The unemployment rate for both age groups was higher than for their nonveteran peers and much higher than the national average.
The job problems for younger vets have continued despite a wide range of private and public efforts, including tax credits for companies that hire veterans.
The executive director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Hiring Our Heroes program says many veterans can't explain how the skills they learned in the military translate to the private sector.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - A Fort Wayne man has been arrested in connection with the stabbing of another man Thursday night.
David Cocklin, 56, was arrested Monday and preliminarily charged with felony murder, according to the Fort Wayne Police Department.
Cocklin is accused of stabbing Raynell White, 30, of Fort Wayne, to death at the Clark gas station at Wayne Trace & Drexel Avenue.

May 2, 2016
Governor Beverly Perdue has the support of dozens of mayors across the state for her push for a temporary sales tax to raise money for education.
Perdue is hoping to restore the three-quarters of a cent sales tax the republican-controlled legislature recently eliminated - and wants to dedicate the funds to North Carolina schools, which she says have been hurt by deep and unnecessary cuts. 53 mayors across the state support her proposal, including many in the east- including the mayors of Hookerton, Manteo, Morehead City, Williamston and La Grange. La Grange Mayor Woody Gurley says schools are in need of more money to help pay teachers and get supplies.
"A lot of the teachers take monies out of their pocket to buy things for their classrooms because the county does not appropriate these funds. The county can't appropriate them unless the state has money to give to the counties," La Grange Mayor Woody Gurley.
But many people - including Lenoir County GOP Chairman Keith Herring - are against the proposal, saying a sales tax increase during an economic recession isn't a good idea.

Gabapentin for Epilepsy
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Gabapentin comes in capsules and pills.
Why It Is Used
Gabapentin may be used alone or combined with other antiepileptic medicines to control partial seizures in adults and in children ages 3 and older.
How Well It Works
People taking gabapentin in addition to other antiepileptic medicines may have fewer seizures.1
Gabapentin has not been shown to be effective for treating primary generalized seizures or childhood absence seizures.
Side Effects
Gabapentin is a well-tolerated drug that usually causes only mild side effects. These often go away in 1 to 2 weeks and include:
- Dizziness.
- Drowsiness and fatigue.
- Headache.
- Weight gain.
- Foot swelling.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on antiepileptic medicines and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take antiepileptic medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take antiepileptic medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medicine to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few side effects as possible. After you and your doctor figure out the medicine program that works best for you, make sure to follow your program exactly as prescribed.
- Drug interactions. Many medicines for epilepsy can interact with other medicines you are taking. This means that your epilepsy medicine may not work as well, or it may affect the way another medicine you are taking works. Some of these interactions can be dangerous. It is important to tell your doctor about all the medicines, herbal pills, and dietary supplements you are taking. Gabapentin may be a good choice if you are taking medicines for other conditions, because it does not interact with many other medicines.
- Risk of birth defects. All medicines for epilepsy have some risk of birth defects. But the risk of birth defects needs to be carefully compared to other risks to the baby if the mother stops taking her epilepsy medicine. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, be sure to plan ahead and talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking epilepsy medicine during your pregnancy. It you are already pregnant, it is not too late. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your pregnancy before you make any changes to the medicines you are taking.
- Other concerns. For some people, gabapentin may produce side effects or carry risks that are not fully known yet. Report any unexpected side effects or problems to your doctor.
