Article Date: 5/1/2009
Pharmacologic vitreolysis hides under 1 heading and 2 separate processes: separation of the vitreous from the retinal surface, and effective liquefaction of the vitreous gel.1 The vitreoretinal interface plays an important role in several vitreoretinal disorders, some of which (for example, diabetic retinopathy) are reaching epidemic proportions. Despite major advances in vitreoretinal surgical techniques and instrumentation, relief of vitreoretinal traction remains a critical, often difficult step. Both anecdotal and published evidence support the protective role conferred by a posterior hyaloid detachment (PVD) in proliferative disease and maculopathies.2-4 Therefore, achieving an atraumatic PVD by surgical or pharmacologic means is an area of intense research and interest.
For a spontaneous PVD to occur, 2 concurrent processes are required: liquefaction of the vitreous gel (syneresis), and separation of the posterior hyaloid (synchesis). Each process must occur in a fine equilibrium, as too much liquefaction may prevent the posterior hyaloid from separating, leading to an anomalous PVD and retinal traction.5 Anomalous PVD is at the pathogenetic root of many vitreoretinopathies, from peripheral tears and detachments to macular traction syndromes and holes. Thus, pharmacological PVD must address this balancing act between liquefaction and separation either in its entirety, as will be required in prophylactic applications, or to enhance an existing process as in cases with partial PVD.
While gel liquefaction is an inherent component of PVD formation, its occurrence away from the retinal interface answers to other pharmacologic dynamics. Central vitreous cortex has less densely packed collagen fibrils and a lower hyaluran concentration. Physiologically, its liquefaction leads to the formation of pools of liquid vitreous, from which debris and cells can rapidly escape. Clearance of vitreous hemorrhage may answer to other dynamics and requirements than vitreomacular traction. Evidence so far from clinical trials and published literature certainly point in this direction.
The interface can be targeted in several ways. Chondroitin sulphate is a major component of the vitreoretinal interface. Its cleavage should favor a posterior vitreous separation without vitreous liquefaction.1,6 While some studies argue in favor of its use as a surgical adjunct, others find little benefit.7 Dispase, which cleaves fibronectin from type 4 collagen, facilitates PVD induction in animal models, but also affects the basement membranes of Müller cells and the ILM, and is not without risk.8,9 Intraretinal hemorrhages, ILM disruptions, reduced ERGs, even the induction of PVR, have been observed with some adverse events appearing within 15 minutes of administration in primates and human volunteers.10-12
Plasmin enzyme, a serine protease, acts on a variety of glycoproteins including laminin and fibronectin.13 Over the past 10 years, several articles have demonstrated its clinical usefulness as a surgical adjunct.14-18 Its major inconvenience is the difficulty in preparing the autologous compound, characterizing it, and maintaining its activity prior to administration. More convenient would be the use of a recombinant protein with a well-characterized activity profile.
Plasmin enzyme is a large molecule with the catalytic domain located close to the C-terminal end of the molecule.19 Adjacent are 5 protein loops called cringles used to bind the enzyme to substrate, but devoid of any enzymatic activity. Microplasmin, a recombinant enzyme, contains only the catalytic domain of human plasmin.20 Preclinical testing in several species has clearly demonstrated its ability to consistently induce a complete PVD at dose around 125 μg (adjusted to the size of a human eye), without having adverse side effects.21-23 As with plasmin enzyme, the retinal surface following the administration of microplasmin has a smooth appearance on electron microscopy that cannot be achieved with surgery alone (Figure 1). The whole posterior vitreous face detaches, remaining adherent to the retina only at the level of the pars plana. Microplasmin does not only promote posterior hyaloid detachment, it also causes some liquefaction of the gel as shown by electron microcopy and light-scattering experiments.21,24 However, gel liquefaction is not a uniform process and is limited to the area surrounding the site of injection.25 Recent pharmacokinetic studies using a chromophore release assay determined that microplasmin is rapidly degraded within the eye, subject to a second-order kinetic process. Most of the activity was gone within a few hours of administration.
Figure 1. Scanning electron micrograph of a pig eye treated with microplasmin 125 μg for 2 hours (right) or balanced salt solution (left). A smooth retinal surface is seen in the image on the right, while a meshwork of vitreous is evident in the left image.
The initial clinical study, known as the Microplasmin Vitrectomy Study (MIVI I), was carried out on 60 patients with vitreomacular traction scheduled for surgery. Patients were divided into 6 groups of 10 patients each. Two phases were defined: one with a fixed dose (25 μg) but with time escalation (2 hrs, 24 hrs, 7 days), and the other with a fixed 24-hour exposure but ascending dose (25, 50, 75, 125 μg).26 Both safety and preliminary efficacy data were obtained. One patient developed a retinal detachment after receiving a dose of 25μg, with the initial symptoms starting 2 hours after administration. He ultimately developed a giant tear and required silicone oil for repair. Eleven percent of patients developed small peripheral tears as a PVD was surgically induced. This figure, while high, is in keeping with published series for noncannulated surgeries. No other safety issue was raised. Early efficacy data suggested that a prolonged exposure to microplasmin or increasing the dose was more likely to lead to a spontaneous PVD. Other studies have since been initiated and are confirming and extending these findings. Spontaneous closure of macular holes have been reported in the context of several trials (MIVI I, II, III) (Figure 2). In MIVI III, a United States–based study, 30% of patients had a spontaneous release of traction and did not require surgery (World Congress of Ophthalmology, 2008). These results suggest that pharmacologic vitreolysis may allow for nonsurgical treatment of macular traction syndromes. Other conditions resulting from an anomalous PVD may also benefit. One or more injections of microplasmin may be required to reach this goal. This will be the subject of future research.
Figure 2. Resolution of vitreomacular traction with the use of microplasmin 125 μg.
Gel liquefaction and PVD induction do not necessarily occur simultaneously. Several of the enzymes listed above have little effect on the gel itself. Both microplasmin and plasmin theoretically have some effect on the vitreous matrix, but their effect needs to be further defined and evaluated. Ovine hyaluronidase (Vitrase) is the only compound that was evaluated in 2 phase 3 randomized clinical trials for the management of vitreous hemorrhage.27,28 The studies showed a statistically significant improvement in BCVA as early as month 1 in the treated group, with partial clearance of the vitreous blood being observed. The effect on the posterior hyaloid was limited.
An intriguing prospect is the combination of an agent causing vitreous liquefaction with one primarily acting as a PVD inducer. In an experimental rat model of diabetes, the induction of a PVD was significantly more effective when both plasmin and hyaluronidase were combined than when either drug was used on its own.29 While the author's conclusion was that hyaluronidase caused an immediate accelerated dispersal of plasmin enzyme, it is also possible that a more complete vitreous liquefaction resulted from the use of hyaluronidase, setting the stage for a more intense collapse of the posterior vitreous face as the detachment occurred.
Growing interest and research in pharmacologic vitreolysis identified its 2 main components: PVD induction and vitreous liquefaction. While most drugs affect both, those identified so far appear to have a preferential activity on one or the other arm of this process. The task to be addressed — clearance of a vitreous hemorrhage, PVD induction for traction limited to the fovea, or affecting the wider posterior pole would seem to dictate a different pharmacologic strategy. The exact strategy will be defined in years to come. However, it is already clear that the management of macular disorders will rapidly change. RP

One of the biggest global problems in trying to reduce carbon emissions is the extremely large existing infrastructure built entirely around fossil fuels. Of course there are individual actions we can all take to reduce our emissions, but for at least the next 20 or 30 years, there will still be coal-powered power plants and gas guzzling automobiles. So the biggest hope for us in fighting global warming will be to remove those emissions before they ever reach the atmosphere – by designing systems to remove carbon from power plants and automobile exhaust. Here's where the work of Ian Metcalfe and Alan Thursfield from the University of NewCastle [2] comes in: the two have developed a system of ceramic tubes that could be retrofitted for existing power plants with the sole purpose of cutting back on greenhouse emissions [2].
The main component of this system is a series of tiny tubes made out an advanced ceramic material known as LSCF [3], which was originally developed for fuel cell technology. This material has a rather unique property that makes is suitable for this process: LSCF (which stands for lanthanum-strontium-cobalt-ferric oxides) is able to filter oxygen out of air. By controlling the combustion process with these tiny tubes, the fuel is able to be burned in pure oxygen, which has the effect of producing pure CO2 and steam.
But, you may ask, why are we creating pure CO2, don't we want to get rid of CO2? Most power plant emissions contain a large number of chemicals, such as methane and nitrogen oxide, mixed in with the CO2 making the mixture more threatening and unsuitable for any other use. Pure CO2, on the other hand, can be piped back into a processing plant to be turned into something useful such as methanol.
So far the tests in the laboratory have been successful on a small scale, though it is unclear whether or not the tubes could survive the conditions inside a power station chamber. Further tests are scheduled to occur soon.

Economy-class JetBlue passengers can now speed through airport security alongside elite flyers—for a fee. At select airports, JetBlue is selling access to expedited airport security lanes for $10 each way.
The airline is rolling out its Even More Speed expedited security program as a standalone product. Previously, only those who purchased Even More Space (Jetblue's premium economy seating) as well as members of TrueBlue Mosaic (JetBlue's elite rewards program) could take advantage of Even More Speed. But the domestic carrier has quietly changed its policy and is offering Even More Speed as a separate option for all customers. (It's still included as an ancillary perk for those who purchase Even More Space or for those who qualify for Mosaic.) In an email, a representative from the airline told us, "Even More Speed can be purchased as a standalone option for $10."
Even More Speed is available at about 40 airports. (See the list of eligible airports here.) But there are no guarantees: While JetBlue doesn't promise that passengers who buy entry into the expedited lane will actually save time, those who pay for the 10-buck upgrade will get to join expedited lanes in airport security along with premium-seat ticketholders and frequent flyers.
You can buy the expedited-security perk online when booking select flights. It'll show up as an option in the "extras" section if it's available to you. Or you can ask for the option to buy Even More Speed when checking in—again, if it's available at your airport. Then, all you need to do is flash your special boarding pass when entering security. According to JetBlue's website, "Even More Speed customers simply need to show their boarding pass to the attendant at the security checkpoint entrance. The Even More Speed logo is printed on the boarding pass."
This is the first instance we've seen of a major U.S. airline offering expedited screening as a standalone product. But according to Travel Weekly, JetBlue's latest move is merely a test. Will it stick? I think so.
By selling perks normally reserved for frequent flyers to the economy-class hoi polloi, airlines diminish the value of elite status. But this has been the trend for some time now: Carriers have long been carving up bonuses, such as early boarding and extra-legroom seats, and making them available to coach-class flyers for a fee. JetBlue's move to offer Even More Speed as a standalone perk is no different.
Would you pay $10 for access to an expedited security lane?

RE:Re:Rockhopper image
Hi Wolf,
Nice image :) The offset is caused simply by the way CP has positioned the item itself (after all, in-game sprites aren't an accurate version of the player card look, and are usually more rough and are missing details. This is the result of zooming in and receiving the imperfections of the original design).

Hi Wolf,
I know you're on vacation right now, but so I don't forget and so you remember, I'll leave this reminder. The vote you made about a month ago to remove specific ban/block times in the policy passed a while ago, and the times are still not removed. You said you would move the times elsewhere. Once you get back from your vacation, it would be great if you could do this (or else, it will be like there was no point in the vote :P). Thanks, and enjoy your vacation.
Kallie Jo (talk) 23:49, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
Hey Wolf-gangs,
I appreciate your messages prompting me to get back onto the Wiki. Unfortunately I didn't look at the messages until now, but even without looking I kinda guessed what it would be about.
It's a little disappointing being demoted from admin status, but I fully understand and support the decision. I don't come around as much as I used to, and someone a lot more active than me could take my place and do a lot better of a job than I have these past months.
You asked for a reason for my inactivity. While I know this doesn't change anything (and I don't expect it to), I've been busy with a lot of things, online and off, that have kept me away from the Wiki. I won't go into details, but I'm sure you understand. Your average inactivity letter, haha.
I want you to know that I have no hard feelings whatsoever. I still plan to come onto the Wiki every now and again to help out with images 'n' such, though not nearly as often as I used to. My reasons for inactivity persist.
Thanks again for helping me out while I was admin.
Ciao for now,

Hello Wolf-Gangs.
I am truly sorry that I have been inactive. I just got my computer fixed. I was going to contact the Admins that I had problems but I had no way to contact anyone. Please do know that I might not be as active simply due to school for the most part. I am mainly always going to come online during weekends. I plan to be fully active when I have a break.

Sorry to see that you are resigning, but I respect your decision. I have taken note of your request to keep the admins wiki in good shape and to update our policy pages. I will also try to meet up with you in chat (or email you if you would like) to transfer control over the Twitter account. On a different note, after contacting Awesome335, I have extended the patroller promotion vote until January 24. However, in order to keep the vote fair, I have had to remove your vote since you voted after the votes officially closed. Now that the vote is the same as when it officially ended, please feel free to add your vote back.
Thanks for your message and sorry for the inconvenience,
--Hey.youcp 22:49, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
Re: Wiki Matters
The layout that you came up with looks good. Can you copy it to the admins wiki and start a new discussion on it so that we can work on revising it (if necessary)?

Re: Report Center
I'm glad you noticed this. I've merged the "Reports" section with the "Report Centers" section in the navigation. As for the Report Vandalism page, what changes did you have in mind to make it look better?

Hi Sdg,
There are sevelar websites that offer downloading SwfModify. One of them is this one, though you can also see many others in google search.

Re: Temporary promotion
Hi, Wolf. Not a problem. Thank you for taking care of it.
--Hey.youcp 18:25, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
- By the way, you may want to consider giving yourself chat mod rights along with your bureaucrat right. It would make sense to have you as one.
- --Hey.youcp 18:49, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Would you be okay with me giving you chat mod rights then? Also, did you have anyone in mind who would be a good chat mod? If not, we can open a vote for chat mod (or start up the Chat Mod Calendar to evaluate users).
- --Hey.youcp 17:00, February 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's strange that bureaucrats can't promote users to chat mod, even though it currently states they can here. In any case, I've sent Wikia a request to fix that. I'll also ask if Penguin-Pal wouldn't mind being a chat mod.
- --Hey.youcp 22:46, February 4, 2015 (UTC)
Patroller Privileges Change
Also, it was suggested on my talk page in response to your message that patrollers should be able to protect and edit protected pages. How do you feel about this? We've already requested in the past for patrollers to be able to delete and undelete pages as well as move files, so I'm not so sure. Would it be too much power for patrollers?
--Hey.youcp 23:10, February 4, 2015 (UTC)
Bureaucrat Privileges Change
So I got an email back from Wikia in response to my request for users on our wiki with only the bureaucrat right to be able to promote chat mods and they wrote that, since the bureaucrat right should be used in addition to the administrator right, I should just give you your "missing" right back. But since your case is special in that you chose to resign as an admin yet remain a bureaucrat, I can either give you the chat mod right so that you can moderate chat whenever you're on, or you can give yourself the admin right so that you will be able to both moderate chat and promote chat mods. Whichever choice you choose is fine with me.

Re: Passing the torch
Hello, Wolf.
Sorry to hear that you have resigned after years of being a great admin and bureaucrat. You have certainly left your mark on the wiki during your time here, and I don't think the wiki would be what it is today without your contributions and leadership.
Don't worry about having kept your bureaucrat rights for the past 2 months. During that time, you helped with both blocking vandals and moderating chat, so thank you for that.
I understand you no longer have any interest in monitoring the wiki, but you are welcome to stop by whenever you feel like. You can also be assured that the wiki is in good hands. I have faith that the other admins will keep this wiki in good shape, and I will try my best to do the same.
Please continue being an outstanding person,
--Hey.youcp 22:12, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
Policy Layout
Hi, Wolf.
I was thinking about the suggestion you made on my talk page a while ago about updating the layout of the first section on our Policy page to the new layout you made, and I'd like to ask the community on the Vote Page what they think of it. However, before adding it to the page, I want to make sure I add exactly what you intend with this change. You suggest that we: Replace the first section with your layout, delete the pages under that section, get rid of the set consequences, and allow admins to make fair judgments for the consequences of policy violations that fall under the first section. Is this list accurate to what you intended? Am I missing anything from it? Please let me know.

Hi Wolf-gangs! :)
I was wondering if you can please invite me to the Admins Wiki. I have permission from Hey.you. My username is the same as here.
Regards, Callum! :)

IRC channel
I'd like to point out to you that all flags were lost when Miron dropped the channel and that is why you do not have rights. Neither Callum nor I removed them. You are neither a bureaucrat nor an administrator here, so you really have no reason to have rights. — Spydar007 (Talk) 17:37, April 17, 2015 (UTC)
- In that case you can stop taking your anger about it out on me and especially Callum. He had no part in the situation. — Spydar007 (Talk) 06:33, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Callum seemed to think you were, and chat logs suggest otherwise. Either way I don't care, but Callum is certainly not to blame for any of it. — Spydar007 (Talk) 11:03, April 18, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Long time no see
Hey Wolf,
Yeah long time no see :p Indeed, I have been a bit busy recently and has no longer been on chat as frequently as before. Nevertheless, I do come on chat occasionally, but unfortunately you are either offline or away, so we hardly had the chance to chat. Ill try to be on chat more soon, and so we can have a nice little chat together. Anyway, what about you? Has life been tough for you too? Please reply and I hope to see you soon :D Dps04talk 13:21, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
In-Game Image
Hi, Wolf.
Regarding the question you asked in chat, you can generate a high quality image of the Rainbow Board in-game (I'm assuming this is for the CPWN) through the following method:
- Extract frame 3 (the one with the skateboard facing the bottom right) from the item's sprites file and rename it to "item0"
- Create two copies of the in-game penguin SWF
- Delete the blue ring and shadow from one copy and the penguin from the other copy
- Render the two copies and make sure to set the seconds long enough on the copy with the blue ring and shadow so that it has enough time to load in the skateboard (3 seconds should be enough)
- Open the rendered images in an image editor, place the penguin in a top layer, and merge the layers
Hope this helps,
--Hey.youcp 05:45, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

You might've thought with all the talent and potential this film had, it could've been a hit...
...but if so, you'd have been Berry Wrong!
Her's an IMDb LINK to see just how many talented people it takes to screw up a blockbuster wanna be/never wuz like R.I.P.D. (And while you're there, note that the usually generous IMDb Users gave the film a lowly approval rating as well)...

Trove players will have a new class to try out when the Fae Trickster launches in game later today. Players can purchase the new class 1050 credits / 5000 source (equivalent of $7) from the Trove Store.
The primary ability for the Fae Trickster is Ego Blast, a powerful attack which does even more damage if the enemy has not recently hit you. Blink, which warps the Trickster forward a small distance and leaves an illusionary clone behind, compliments Ego Blast nicely since it'll keep your foes confused as to where the Trickster really is. A cunning Fae Trickster may choose to follow up their attacks with their ultimate ability, Faerie Dance, which summons three dancing copies of their staff to deal additional damage to (and generate even more confusion in) their foes.

CREATE EXTENSION [ IF NOT EXISTS ] extension_name [ WITH ] [ SCHEMA schema_name ] [ VERSION version ] [ FROM old_version ]
CREATE EXTENSION loads a new extension into the current database. There must not be an extension of the same name already loaded.
Loading an extension essentially amounts to running the extension's script file. The script will typically create new SQL objects such as functions, data types, operators and index support methods. CREATE EXTENSION additionally records the identities of all the created objects, so that they can be dropped again if DROP EXTENSION is issued.
Loading an extension requires the same privileges that would be required to create its component objects. For most extensions this means superuser or database owner privileges are needed. The user who runs CREATE EXTENSION becomes the owner of the extension for purposes of later privilege checks, as well as the owner of any objects created by the extension's script.
Do not throw an error if an extension with the same name already exists. A notice is issued in this case. Note that there is no guarantee that the existing extension is anything like the one that would have been created from the currently-available script file.
The name of the extension to be installed. PostgreSQL will create the extension using details from the file SHAREDIR/extension/extension_name.control.
The name of the schema in which to install the extension's objects, given that the extension allows its contents to be relocated. The named schema must already exist. If not specified, and the extension's control file does not specify a schema either, the current default object creation schema is used.
Remember that the extension itself is not considered to be within any schema: extensions have unqualified names that must be unique database-wide. But objects belonging to the extension can be within schemas.
The version of the extension to install. This can be written as either an identifier or a string literal. The default version is whatever is specified in the extension's control file.
FROM old_version must be specified when, and only when, you are attempting to install an extension that replaces an "old style" module that is just a collection of objects not packaged into an extension. This option causes CREATE EXTENSION to run an alternative installation script that absorbs the existing objects into the extension, instead of creating new objects. Be careful that SCHEMA specifies the schema containing these pre-existing objects.
The value to use for old_version is determined by the extension's author, and might vary if there is more than one version of the old-style module that can be upgraded into an extension. For the standard additional modules supplied with pre-9.1 PostgreSQL, use unpackaged for old_version when updating a module to extension style.
Before you can use CREATE EXTENSION to load an extension into a database, the extension's supporting files must be installed. Information about installing the extensions supplied with PostgreSQL can be found in Additional Supplied Modules.
The extensions currently available for loading can be identified from the pg_available_extensions or pg_available_extension_versions system views.
For information about writing new extensions, see Section 35.15.
Install the hstore extension into the current database:
CREATE EXTENSION hstore;
Update a pre-9.1 installation of hstore into extension style:
CREATE EXTENSION hstore SCHEMA public FROM unpackaged;
Be careful to specify the schema in which you installed the existing hstore objects.

A Colorado police department is facing some tough questions today about why they destroyed evidence. It happened in Aurora.
DNA in nearly 50 sexual assault cases from 2009 was mistakenly destroyed. A detective found a DNA match in a 2009 case - but when he went to look at the rest of the case, the evidence was gone.
Yesterday the police chief publicly announced the errors and apologized. "Obviously this is not a good day for the department. We try our best to be transparent. When we make mistakes we come forward and acknowledge it and this is a very big mistake."
An expert panel will analyze what went wrong.
The panel will issue a public report with recommendations by November 1.

Struggling actors are no strangers to the odd job — be it waiting tables, walking dogs or washing cars. Few, however, would admit to taking their clothes off for cash, and even fewer would later document their sordid side gig in a feature film helmed by an Oscar-winning director. But few actors are Channing Tatum.
As part of our Sneak Peek Week leading up to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, Tatum, along with "Magic Mike" co-star Matthew McConaughey and producer/screenwriter Reid Carolin, took to the Universal CityWalk stage in L.A. to debut an exclusive clip and chat about their stripper flick, out June 29. And while Tatum doesn't shy away from talking about his past, it took a little convincing from director Steven Soderbergh to convince the actor his story was big-screen-worthy.
"I was having a beer with Soderbergh — we were doing a movie together — and I told him about [my past stripping]. I'd been doing it for eight months of my life when I was, like, 18 or 19, and he said, 'We gotta make a movie out of that.' And I was like, 'Why? Why do we need to do that?' And he said, 'I've never seen that world on film before.' And then we really started talking about that, and we thought it would be really hilarious but still grounded in reality."
So the two set out to bring "Magic Mike" to life — without studio funding.
"We put money into it and did it ourselves," Tatum explained. "I don't know if people realize it, but it was an independent movie."
An independent movie, albeit with an impressive cast including Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer and Matthew McConaughey, who said he simply couldn't turn down an offer from Soderbergh to play groovy club owner Dallas.
"He pitched me the story, and 10 minutes into it, I was on my knees in my house laughing," McConaughey recalled. "And I said, 'Tell me, any words of advice?' And he said, 'This guy, Dallas, he's connected to the UFOs in space.' And then I said, 'Anything else?' And he said, 'You really can't go wrong.' And I said, 'I'm in.' "
And that's when the real work began. Tatum took McConaughey to a male revue in New Orleans so he could get a glimpse into that world. "He loved it," Tatum recalled with a grin.
In fact, according to Tatum, none of the men seemed too worried about dropping trou. "The first day of rehearsals, I looked at the guys and we went through our stuff, and I was like, 'All right. It's time to get naked, boys.' And it was hilarious that none of them really balked."
And neither did the female extras on set, who couldn't seem to calm their excitement during McConaughey's solo performance, in particular. "We could not get the women to sit down in the front row," recalled Tatum with a laugh. "They just ran at the stage."

Estimados miembros del Foro
El concepto de pagos por servicios ambientales (PSA) ha ganado importancia como herramienta para lograr la conservación de los ecosistemas y, al mismo tiempo, mejorar los medios de subsistencia de los agricultores como proveedores de servicios ambientales. Desde la Evaluación de los Ecosistemas del Milenio de la ONU, publicada en 2005, los PSA se consideran cada vez más como una herramienta para remunerar a los campesinos por las externalidades positivas que generan a través de la adopción de prácticas agrícolas sostenibles.
Mediante un proyecto de tres años sobre la "Remuneración de las Externalidades Positivas (REP)/ Pagos por Servicios Ambientales (PSA) en la agricultura y el sector alimentario", iniciado en junio de 2012, a la FAO le gustaría aprender más acerca de las oportunidades y retos a los que se enfrentan los proyectos de PSA en curso o ya finalizados.
Teoría y práctica de los PSA
La prestación de servicios ambientales, como la conservación de los hábitats de la biodiversidad, protección de cuencas hidrográficas y el secuestro de carbono, posee la característica de bien público. Benefician a la humanidad en general, pero tienden a estar disponibles sin costo alguno. Esta situación conduce a la utilización no sostenible de recursos naturales escasos porque los mercados existentes no los valoran adecuadamente. Los sistemas de PSA tienen por objeto hacer frente a este fallo del mercado al ofrecer incentivos financieros y otros tipos de recompensas (como desarrollo de capacidades, intercambio de conocimientos, mitigación de riesgos, etc) para que los usuarios de la tierra puedan mantener/mejorar la prestación de valiosos servicios ambientales. Para que el sistema funcione, debe haber un comprador dispuesto a adquirir un servicio ambiental concreto que transfiera un pago a un vendedor terrateniente que esté dispuesto a adoptar medidas que garanticen la prestación sostenible de este servicio en particular.
Hay sin embargo muchas preguntas abiertas en relación con el alcance de los PSA, su relación costo-eficacia para responder a los crecientes desafíos globales del cambio climático y la seguridad alimentaria, y los supuestos teóricos de referencia, procedentes en gran parte de la economía neoclásica.
Las respuestas a estas preguntas pueden encontrarse a menudo en las lecciones aprendidas de los proyectos existentes, y deben ser tenidas en cuenta en los futuros diseños de sistemas de PSA.
Independientemente del contexto particular y del servicio (o servicios) ambiental(es) seleccionado(s), un proyecto de PSA eficaz debe basarse en incentivos que ayudan a alinear mejor los intereses privados de los actores locales con el interés general público de preservar el medio ambiente y aumentar la seguridad alimentaria. A menudo esto se logra a través de asociaciones público-privadas que se traducen en prácticas, instituciones y productos innovadores que hacen que los sistemas de PSA sean sostenibles a nivel financiero y generen externalidades positivas por sí mismos. Sin embargo, el impacto de la innovación en el diseño, implementación y sostenibilidad de los PSA ha sido hasta ahora poco abordado en la literatura académica actual.
El objetivo de la discusión en línea
En esta discusión en línea esperamos encontrar respuestas sobre la mejor forma de abordar los desafíos y oportunidades basadas en la experiencia práctica y la investigación previas. Por lo tanto, invitamos a los profesionales, expertos en políticas y académicos del sector público y privado y otras partes interesadas en los PSA a aportarnos perspectivas de determinados proyectos de PSA en países en desarrollo y desarrollados y sugerencias sobre cómo hacer que los PSA sean más eficaces como herramienta para desarrollar el capital natural, al tiempo que se invierte en capital humano y reducción de la pobreza.
Las preguntas que se debatirán en el Foro FSN:
1. ¿Cuáles son las lecciones aprendidas de los PSA en los países desarrollados y en aquellos en vías de desarrollo?
2. Los PSA pueden considerarse un conjunto diverso de políticas, instituciones y procesos que movilizan fondos de los beneficiarios directos, contribuyentes, consumidores y otras partes interesadas para premiar/remunerar/pagar a los proveedores de servicios ambientales. ¿Qué tipo de instrumentos de políticas relacionados con los PSA recomendaría para su propio país y por qué?
3. ¿Cuál debe ser el papel de la innovación y del espíritu emprendedor para hacer que los PSA trabajen para el desarrollo sostenible?
Esperamos contar con sus contribuciones
Muchas gracias

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), developed on the basis of current concerns, taking into account the limits of the Kyoto Protocol aimed to expand opportunities for climate change mitigation by the capitalization of opening of the carbon market. REDD in scripts committed people who maintain the forest in a compensatory mechanism PES. After assessment of carbon stocks, payments are supposed to arrive directly to grassroots communities, the most vulnerable and the most in terms of capacity building, structure or infrastructure that improve living conditions.
I had the opportunity to take a ride in areas where PES projects were implemented, indicators of improved living conditions are not very noticeable. People are still languishing in poverty. And already she attacks back to the forest.
Beyond governance should constitute a major focus, the full participation of all stakeholders in particular youth development strategies should be another priority
CED (Centre for Development and Environment) is a Cameroonian NGO engaged in environmental advocacy. It implements a project of "payment for services Systemic eco community" in two community forests with a learning by doing approach. The objectives of this project (supported by the Rainforest Foundation UK) are the following:
• Protect, restore and sustainably manage forests, while improving
Living conditions of local populations (poverty reduction)
• Improve and strengthen the management of community forests by the villagers by developing their knowledge and capacity building,
• Develop local capacity to cope with institutional change,
economic and environmental issues;
• Learn practical lessons for future initiatives with community based
forest on REDD + to power and communicate processes
at the regional political / international level.
The partners in this project are the Communities Bio Climate Research and Development (BR & D) and Rainforest Foundation UK (RFUK).
The project is part of trials to contribute to the definition of a model for the implementation of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) in Central Africa. The goal is to find ways for PES can promote sustainable livelihoods in forest communities. To achieve this, the project has adopted a strategy, the system level vivo. The communities are located in the villages in the district Nomedjoh Lomié Haut Nyong, Eastern Region and in the borough of Nkolenyeng Djoum Dja and Lobo, South Region. Cameroon was chosen for the pilot because it is the Congo Basin country which has a policy of recognition of community forests since over a decade. In addition, Cameroon appears as a laboratory for reforms in the forestry sector in Central Africa.
Despite the sucess of this projet, major constraints and challenges of the implementation of the PES remain to be improved. At the national level, legislation is particularly complex and cumbersome for community forestry as far adapted and flexible regulations that require a gait Forestry social actors could adopt. Moreover, it does not provide new features related to "Payment for Environmental Services" (PES carbon, watershed protection, maintenance of soil fertility, biodiversity) as they come in basically an economic income drill can produce.
At local level, the implementation of a PES requires the field to find an institution or organization that is able to credibly engage in such a contract. Hence the institution must have a legitimate authority in the eyes of people. This raises the question of what the community (social entity created by colonization and they equate to a village). While the village brings together families and lineages that are real institutions regulating access to and use of land. Community institutions are then fully develop wide decision if they are to have a real impact on the users of the resource. because families are often flexible to incorporate people from outside the community but are assimilated by the granting of such land.
Hi Moderator,
I submit herewith my humble contributions to PES discussion as follows;
1. Some of the lessons learned from PES in developed and developing countries are;
a) - PES activities are inefficient because of lack of an equitable incentive scheme thus, the financial benefits are unevenly distributed leaving out real actors who are supposed to be the rural poor, and due to inaccessibility are often relegated to the background.
- PES doesn't have a management structure with defined action plan or programme, this often create confusion or mixup of projects. Moreover, persons and groups that require particular needs and express wish to participate in PES projects don't know who to contact, moreso, one doesn't know who is doing what, where, when, and who to approach and for what kind of projects?.
- PES projects most often don't reflect the local environmental contexts and realities, with little socio-economic consideration of local people's rights and concerned communities that are major actors. Projects often are planned at big public offices with political elites, know-hows, and the haves because they have the means to reach the project donor or rather a preferred choice of the donor without seeking the opinion of local stakeholders.
- Because PES have no defined policies, it negatively impacts on its activities.
- PES strategy needs to be revised to include Best Available Technologies packages, and capacity building to deliver to stakeholders who will facilitate implementation of PES activities.
- PES doesn't have field and on the spot system of monitoring and evaluation of its activities instead through online is inappropriate. Projects should be followed up to ensure they are successfully implemented and data collected with establishment of PES data bank.
- PES should develop a business plan to start with to be able to measure progress of its projects.
- PES should address quantify and value issues of indigenous rights including knowledge, innovation and practice.
b) Some successful PES projects that I know of is the recently created Mt Cameroon National Park. However, implementers of PES projects sometimes make fake promises to local stakeholders who are mostly the indigenous communities and true actors on the field. It is often very discouraging, for example, the boundary tracing and opening of the Mt Cameroon National Park was conceived as a programme to involve all surrounding villages on the mountain to participate in the activity. This was to serve as some kind of indirect benefits and incentive to locals but upon execution, some villages were intentionally left out.
- Some PES projects fail because they may not be the rightful priority of the concerned communities, thus careful consideration must be made when designing PES projects, for example, alternative income generating activities such as rearing of animals and birds, or provision of particular type of improved agricultural crops to farmers may not be helpful and can create a negative impact in the community where the protected area is created especially if there's no enough buffer zone for the local populations. Also, land scarcity and arable land problems for farming can arise and serve as a big drive to invasion of the park for farmland, more especially if animal rearing etc is not the culture of the particular community will be an uphill task habit to change.
2. The type of policy that I recommend is closed loop policy and not opened loop. The policy should have commitments with defined obligations for concerned parties, with no room for free-riding by members. This will prevent abandonment of prevents and ensure stability and continuity.
a). Opportunities outside agriculture are rare in least developed countries with high population growth rates mostly require more off-farm employment opportunities to reduce pressures on forests.
b). Environmental Governance/decision-making of PES should be revised to take in to account African local environmental context for PES to deliver properly and efficiently.
c) Most farming systems in Africa are small scale with insignificant pollution therefore, the " Polluter Pays Principle" doesn't count so much in African agricultural set up so can't be given substance in developing countries.
3. The role of innovation and entrepreneurship in making PES work for sustainable development will include;
a) - Creation of PES micro-finance schemes and institutions to facilitate financial resource availability. This ensures efficiency and project's lifespan, long term with greater opportunities and benefits for the project's goal and the poor who often do not have access to funding whereas funded projects are always short-lived.
- Design alternative income generating activities e.g Animal rearing, honey farming, flower gardening and sales etc.
b)- Promote Agroforestry farming systems by providing farmers with improved viable hybrid seedlings.
- Develop training manuals for PES projects.
c) Employ Integrated ecosystems management approach in natural resource management to recover depleted forests and agricultural farmlands can render them more productive.
This will be my humble submission at moment.
1. What are the lessons learned from PES in developed and developing countries?
a) What are the main challenges and opportunities with regard to PES projects in your particular country?
The main challenge of PES scheme in Uganda is lack of policy and national strategy in support of the pace programmes in country. The opportunity in Uganda are there for PES scheme for instance the Trees for Global Benefits that works with the farmers as tree growers for carbon sequestration. The existence of the Natural resources such as the Central Forest reserves under National Forestry Authority and National Parks under the Uganda Wildlife Authority. These areas are watershed management, biodiversity / wildlife conservation areas and carbon sequestration.
b) Do you know of highly successful PES cases in your particular field of expertise (watershed management, biodiversity/wildlife conservation, carbon sequestration,…)? If so, what were the main factors that contributed to the success of the PES scheme?
Trees for Global Benefit have been one the most successful PES project in Uganda. Despite some complains among the carbon producers it remains one of the most success projects that one can easily look at. Another example is the Mt. Elgon Regional Ecosystem Conservation Programme (MERECP) with its REDD+ pilot which offers alternative income generating activities and through community Revolving funds it has been highly successful. What needs to be done is replicating such good initiatives to other areas. The main challenge here is that some projects can work well in a given community but then when taken to other communities they fail due to the cultural set up of the communities and other factors such awareness and education levels.
c) Do you know of PES projects that have failed to deliver despite substantial donor support? If so, what were the reasons that caused the failure?
Mount Elgon area had a challenge when the FACE foundation project was implemented because of the design problem where the local people were not well sensitized hence they could not promote the project but instead it turned out to be the main source of conflict between the management and the communities who were viewed as encroachers. But the situation is different with MERECP programme.
2. PES can be conceived as a diverse set of policies, institutions and processes that mobilize funding from direct beneficiaries, taxpayers, consumers and other interested parties to reward/remunerate/pay providers of environmental services. Which type of PES-related policy instruments would you recommend for your own particular country and why?
a) Are PES-related policy tools applied in affluent countries with lots of off-farm employment opportunities and low population growth rates also adequate for least developed countries where farm sizes often tend to get smaller due to lack of opportunities outside agriculture?
Policies and strategies needs to be country specific because of the different circumstances so that at the end of the day the local circumstance plays a major role in determining how the policies can easily be implemented otherwise it will remain as a stumbling block in implementation of the PES Schemes. Policies should give clear framework in terms of how to operationalise the PES schemes with clear ideas on how the beneficiaries are selected and what are the roles and mode of engagement.
b) What should be the role of the public sector in creating a regulatory/enabling environment for PES to deliver? Where public sector assistance is most needed (knowledge transfer, communal/private land rights, infrastructure, measurement of environmental quality changes, etc.)?
The public sector can offer services from policy development, knowledge transfer, and communal / private land rights by offering security of tenure, infrastructure, measurement of the environmental quality changes and even ensuring that the benefits are delivered to the local communities. Awareness and knowledge transfer is work that can be left most to NGOs so that they can also contribute the conservation efforts and promote the replications of the best practices and documenting them.
3. What should be the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in making PES work for sustainable development?
a) In some cases, PES has become a vehicle for a market for environmental goods (e.g. farmers respond to a growing regional demand for trees by setting up their own tree nurseries). Do you know of other business opportunities for farmers that could arise from the implementation of a PES scheme?
For PES to be successful the issue and the question of the livelihood of the community must remain the main focus for any PES project to Succeed. Unless the programme answers the questions of livelihoods it will not succeed even if it has much donor blessings and support.
b) According to your practical experience with PES, where do we need innovation to make PES more effective and what type of reward system could create such innovation?
There is no any single approach on how to make PES more effective it depends on various factors. For PES to be more efficient the communities need to be part of the design, let the benefits or reward reach the target beneficiaries for this case the communities. Allow the communities use the money from PES as part of livelihood improvement as it's the case with Mount Elgon. Some communities they only need support and through the community revolving fund they have been able to get support and increase on their savings and improve on their livelihoods. The payment should be done in groups so that the groups can help in the co-management of the natural resources such as the national park and central forest reserves in the case of Uganda. For Instance in our toolkit on proposed benefit sharing in Mount Elgon: A toolkit to assess proposed benefit sharing and revenue distribution schemes of community REDD+ projects. The most interesting aspect of Mt. Elgon case is that the funds avoid so many middle men agencies' by directly transferring the funds from the fund's managers LVBC to the Community Based Organisations.
c) Innovative landscape approaches focus on the improvement of environmental services on the landscape-level while the PES approach is focused on the remuneration of individual farmers on the field-level. How can the two approaches be reconciled?
Sometimes where the community is adjacent to the National Park or the central reserve and have limited land for PES they can enter into collaborative forest management so that they can be able to contribute to the management of the Protected areas as a group and not individuals. This helps in improving the relationship between the park management and the local communities.
Estimados Philipp, Bernadete y colegas del Mundo de los PSA.
Les Saludos desde Guatemala ( Centro America), desde esta parte del mundo, hemos avanzando desde los conceptos, procesos e implementacion y empoderamiento de comunidades y sociedad; hemos caracterizado 35 casos de PSA, y sobre esta base iniciare las discuciones.
Antes de responder con las preguntas del Foro, es importante difinir y enmarcar los conceptos, principios, criterios y marco legal de los PSA, PSE, CPA (Pago o Compensacion por servicios ambientales -Ecosistemicos), RPE (Remuneracion por Externalidades positivas).
En la mayoria de nuestros paises no existe un marco legal vigente que regule los PSA, tampoco existen orientaciones de PSA en las leyes relacionadas a Bosques, biodiversidad, agua, suelo. Los Casos mas avanzados en legislacion de PSA podrian estar en Costa Rica, Mexico, Brasil, Nicaragua.
Los PSA deberian analizarse desde dos sentidos:
Sentido Extricto (PSA Estricto): Generacionde externalidades positivas (cumple con al menos 5 principios de Wunder et,al.:(Voluntario, servicio ecosistemico definido, Comprador, vendedor, condicionalidad), Segun Russi, tambien podria anadirse: adicionalidad, intermediario y costos de transaccion.
Sentido Amplio ( PSA Amplio), Reduccion de Externalidades Negativas y pago por contaminacion:(Creditos de carbono, MDL(Cambios de matriz Energetica), REDD+; ademas de las subenciones, compras e incentivos del Estado, como los proyectos forestales estatales.
Posteriomente entrare a responder las preguntas con detalle.
Saludos Cordiales
Bayron Medina
Apreciados Philipp y Bernardete, colegas del Foro Global:
Un honor poder impartir aprendizajes en esta importante tematica PSA. La situación en mi pais es bastante incipiente, pero no lejana de llegar a concretizarse, se han desarrollado varios proyectos.
1. Como les manifestaba, PSA constituye un reto y una oportunidad de poder conservar los pulmones verdes de nuestra localidad, implica poder avanzar en la conservacion y mejoramiento genetico de las especies y una oportunidad de generar proyectos que propenden el desarrollo sostenible.
2. Hay 2 proyectos sobre manejo de cuencas en la serrania de Peru, un proyecto importante de reforestacion con Eucaliptus globulus en la Comunidad Ignacio Tavara, en la Region Piura.
3. No conozco proyectos que hayan fracasado, considero una opcion importante y destaco la labor de FAo en este cometido.
Bertha Garcia C.

US signs treaty to regulate global arms trading (VIDEO)
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States, the world's largest arms dealer, has joined 106 other nations in signing a treaty that regulates global arms trading, but there is strong resistance in the Senate, which must ratify it.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who signed the Arms Trade Treaty on Wednesday, said it was a "significant step" in keeping the world safe and preventing terrorists and others from obtaining conventional weapons.
The Obama administration's move is seen as critical to the treaty's success. The U.S. was the 91st country to sign, but the treaty will not take effect until 50 nations have ratified it. Only six had ratified the treaty as of Wednesday.
Many of the world's other top arms exporters have yet to sign and opposition in the Senate, backed by the powerful National Rifle Association, means U.S. ratification will be difficult. A two-thirds majority in the 100-member Senate, where Democrats now hold a slight edge, is needed to ratify a treaty.
"This is about reducing the risks of international transfers of conventional arms that will be used to carry out the world's worst crimes," Kerry said.
He said it would require other countries to put in place the same arms export restrictions that the United States already has in force.
"This is about keeping Americans safe and keeping America strong, and this is about promoting international peace and global security," he said.
Addressing U.S. critics of the treaty, the former senator said fears that it would undermine Americans' constitutional right to keep and bear arms are not grounded in reality.
The treaty does not regulate domestic weapons sales.
"This treaty will not diminish anyone's freedom," he said. "It recognizes the freedom of both individuals and states to obtain, possess, and use arms for legitimate purposes."

The next season the were under the cosh all season with, after fallen off so many times, Stoner eventually having an em mistery illness which has thankfully now been em diagnosed and forgotten about. And em don't forget about his em dodgy wrist injury which now fine and em been forgotten about. I think they will struggle Hayden has been a poor second to Rossi in the last two seasons. Unless they have changed something dramaticaly on the bike I think that Dovi could be struggling due to the fact that he relies on late braking not corner speed as shown in his dices with Crutchlow this season, Crutchlow had the corner speed but Dovi was great on the brakes. The other two? Well Spies was just plain crap on one of the best bikes in the paddock and Iannone who can say he was good on a detuned WSS bike can he step up to a full blown works 1000? Going to be interesting 3 agree 4 disagree

Washington pitcher Tyler Kane signed a contract with the Miami Marlins last week, meaning that all three Husky players chosen in last month's Major League Baseball draft have joined the professional ranks.
Kane was selected by the Marlins in the 38th round of the draft. He'd been pitching for the Wenatchee Applesox in the West Coast League (a summer collegiate league) prior to inking his contract.
Earlier this summer, the two other drafted Huskies began their pro careers. Austin Voth, the Washington Nationals' fifth-round selection, has already moved from the Gulf Coast League (rookie) to Auburn (N.Y.) in the New York-Penn League (short-season A ball). Meanwhile, Ty Afenir is playing for the New York Yankees' Gulf Coast League team in Tampa.
