We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of 7,000,000 shares
of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $49.6 million, or
approximately $57.4 million if the underwriters exercise their option to
purchase additional shares of common stock in full, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We currently estimate that we will use the net proceeds from this offering as
. approximately $35.0 million to conduct planned Phase 1 and Phase 1/2
clinical trials of GMI-1271; and
. the remainder to fund the research and development of our preclinical
pipeline, including drug discovery, and for working capital and other
general corporate purposes.
These expected uses represent our intentions based upon our current plans and
business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business
conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary
significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our
development, the status of and results from clinical trials, as well as any new
collaborations that we may enter into with third parties for our drug
candidates, and any unforeseen cash needs.
As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the
net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment
of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds from this
offering. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many
factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our
business. Pending these uses, we plan to invest these net proceeds in
short-term, interest bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments,
certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United
States. The goal with respect to the investment of these net proceeds is capital
preservation and liquidity so that such funds are readily available to fund our
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapidly
advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary
drugs. While we believe that our knowledge, experience and scientific resources
provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many
different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies, academic institutions and governmental agencies and
public and private research institutions. Any drug candidates that we
successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing therapies and
new therapies that may become available in the future.
The key competitive factors affecting the success of all of our drug candidates,
if approved, are likely to be their safety, efficacy, convenience, price, the
level of generic competition and the availability of coverage and reimbursement
from government and other third-party payors.
With respect to GMI-1070, we are not aware of any therapies that have been
approved for the treatment of patients experiencing an ongoing VOC episode. The
only approved drug for the prevention of VOC is hydroxyurea. While hydroxyurea
has been shown to reduce the frequency of VOC in some patient groups and is
approved for chronic use for this indication, it is not effective in relieving
symptoms or accelerating the resolution of an ongoing VOC episode. Moreover,
hydroxyurea is not suitable for all patients and can have significant toxicities
and side effects. We are also aware of a company, Mast Therapeutics, Inc., that
is developing a drug to treat VOC once the crisis is underway. Mast has
announced that it is currently conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial in pediatric
patients 8 to 17 years old experiencing VOC.
In addition to efforts to treat VOC once it is underway, there are a number of
companies developing therapies to prevent VOC from occurring. We are aware of
another company, Selexys Pharmaceuticals Corporation, that is developing a
therapy that targets selectins. We believe that the Selexys approach is focused
on P-selectin. Selexys has announced that it has commenced enrollment in a Phase
2 clinical trial and that it has granted Novartis an option to acquire the
company. Other companies are using different approaches to target a variety of
biological mechanisms, including up-regulating fetal hemoglobin, inhibiting a
platelet ADP receptor and increasing the affinity of sickle hemoglobin's binding
to oxygen.
We are also aware of efforts to develop cures for sickle cell disease through
approaches such as bone marrow transplant and gene therapy. Although bone marrow
transplant is currently available, its use is limited by the lack of
availability of matched donors and by the risk of serious complications,
including graft versus host disease and infection. Attempts to develop a cure
through gene therapy remain at an early stage, but if these approaches were to
be successful and received regulatory approval, this could limit the market for
a drug such as GMI-1070 being developed for treatment of VOC.
With respect to GMI-1271 and its development for the treatment of AML and other
hematologic cancers, there is substantial potential competition from other
therapies currently in development. While some chemotherapies in development for
AML could potentially be complementary to GMI-1271, there are also therapies in
development that could be directly competitive with GMI-1271. For example,
Mozobil, which is currently marketed by Sanofi, is being studied in combination
with chemotherapy for the treatment of AML. As the treatment landscape for AML
changes, there is substantial risk that GMI-1271 might not provide additional
benefit over other therapies.
Many of the companies against which we are competing, or against which we may
compete in the future, have significantly greater financial resources and
expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing,
conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing
approved drugs than we do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries may result in even more resources being concentrated
among a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller or early stage companies may
also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative
arrangements with large and established companies. These competitors also
compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management
personnel and establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for
clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or
necessary for, our programs.
We are a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and
development of novel glycomimetic drugs to address unmet medical needs resulting
from diseases in which carbohydrate biology plays a key role. Glycomimetics are
molecules that mimic the structure of carbohydrates involved in
biological processes. Using our expertise in carbohydrate chemistry and
knowledge of carbohydrate biology, we are developing a pipeline of proprietary
glycomimetics that inhibit disease-related functions of carbohydrates, such as
the roles they play in inflammation, cancer and infection. We believe this
represents an innovative approach to drug discovery to treat a wide range of
We are focusing our initial efforts on drug candidates for rare diseases that we
believe will qualify for orphan drug designation. We are developing our lead
drug candidate, GMI-1070, also known as rivipansel sodium, for the treatment of
vaso-occlusive crisis, or VOC, one of the most severe complications of sickle
cell disease. VOC is typically characterized by excruciating, debilitating pain
that occurs periodically throughout the life of a person with sickle cell
disease. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there
were approximately 73,000 hospitalizations related to VOC in the United States
in 2010. The standard of care in the United States for people experiencing VOC
is to manage its symptoms, which typically includes hospitalization, narcotic
pain management and hydration. There are no approved therapies that interrupt
VOC once it has started or that treat the underlying cause of the pain.
In April 2013, we completed a Phase 2 clinical trial in which 76 patients
hospitalized for VOC were treated with the standard of care plus either GMI-1070
or placebo. In this trial, patients treated with GMI-1070 experienced reductions
in time to reach resolution of VOC, length of hospital stay and use of opioid
analgesics for pain management, in each case as compared to patients receiving
placebo. GMI-1070 has received fast track designation from the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration, or FDA, as well as orphan drug designation from the FDA in
the United States and from the European Medicines Agency in the European Union.
We believe that GMI-1070, if approved, would be the first drug to interrupt the
underlying cause of VOC, thereby potentially reducing the use of narcotics for
pain management and enabling patients to leave the hospital more quickly.
In October 2011, we entered into a collaboration with Pfizer Inc., under which
Pfizer is now responsible for the further clinical development, regulatory
approval and potential commercialization of GMI-1070 for all indications and
Pfizer has commercial rights to GMI-1070 worldwide. Under our collaboration with
Pfizer, we received an upfront payment of $22.5 million from Pfizer. We are also
eligible to receive up to $115.0 million in development milestone payments, up
to $70.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and up to $135.0 million in
commercial milestone payments. We are also eligible to receive tiered royalties,
with percentages ranging from the low double digits to the low teens, based on
net sales of GMI-1070 worldwide. In December 2013, Pfizer, we and the FDA held
an End of Phase 2 meeting to confirm Pfizer's plans with respect to a Phase 3
clinical trial of GMI-1070, including Pfizer's planned submission of a special
protocol assessment, or SPA. We expect that Pfizer will commence the Phase 3
clinical trial in the second half of 2014.
Our proprietary glycomimetics platform is based on our expertise in carbohydrate
chemistry and our understanding of the role carbohydrates play in key biological
processes. Most human proteins are modified by the addition of complex
carbohydrates to the surface of the proteins. The addition of these
carbohydrate structures affects the functions of these proteins and their
interactions with other molecules. Our initial research and development efforts
have focused on drug candidates targeting selectins, which are proteins that
serve as adhesion molecules and bind to carbohydrates that are involved in the
inflammatory component and progression of a wide range of diseases, including
hematologic disorders, cancer and cardiovascular disease. For example, we
believe that members of the selectin family play a key role in the onset and
progression of VOC and that GMI-1070, which binds to all three members of the
selectin family, E-, P- and L-selectin, inhibits the role that selectins play
in VOC. We believe our expertise in carbohydrate chemistry and our
understanding of carbohydrate-protein binding interactions enable us to design
selectin antagonists and other glycomimetics that inhibit the disease-related
functions of certain carbohydrates.
Building on our experience with GMI-1070, we are developing a pipeline of other
glycomimetic drug candidates. Our second most advanced drug candidate, GMI-1271,
is a specific E-selectin inhibitor, which we are developing to be used in
combination with chemotherapy to treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia, or
AML, and potentially other hematologic cancers. E-selectin plays a critical role
in binding cancer cells within vascular niches in the bone marrow, which
prevents the cells from entering circulation where they can be more readily
killed by chemotherapy. We believe that by inhibiting binding interactions
between cancer cells and the bone marrow, GMI-1271 may mobilize cancer cells out
of the bone marrow and make them more sensitive to chemotherapy, thereby
improving response rates and duration of remission in patients with AML. We met
with the FDA in November 2013 to discuss our clinical development plans and
expect to file an investigational new drug application, or IND, for GMI-1271 in
the first quarter of 2014. Assuming the IND is accepted, we plan to initiate a
Phase 1 dose-escalation clinical trial of GMI-1271 in healthy volunteers in the
second quarter of 2014. We intend to follow this trial with Phase 1/2
dose-escalation clinical trials in AML patients.
Our preclinical pipeline also includes other E-selectin antagonists that we are
designing and testing for oral availability, glycomimetic compounds that
simultaneously target both E-selectin and a chemokine receptor known as CXCR4,
and glycomimetic compounds focused on other targets. For example, we are
investigating several compounds, including GMI-1051, to treat pseudomonas
infections in combination with antibiotics.
We have retained the worldwide development and commercialization rights to all
of our drug candidates other than GMI-1070. Our intellectual property portfolio
contains issued patents and patent applications directed to, among other things,
compositions of matter and methods of use for our drug candidates. Our issued
patents directed to GMI-1070 and methods of use are expected to expire between
2023 and 2030, and our patent applications directed to GMI-1271, if issued, are
expected to expire between 2032 and 2033.

Stories From the Frontlines: A Love Letter to a G.I.
Jim Burroway
May 28th, 2010
The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) kicked off its "Stories From the Frontline" series as part of a campaign specifically targeted toward adding the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" as an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Authorization Bill, which the SLDN saw as the best opportunity to repeal the ban on gays in the military. With yesterday's votes in the Senate Armed Services Committee and in the full House of Representatives, that strategy has come to fruition.
And so it is fitting that on the day before Memorial Day weekend, the SLDN's final letter is in the form of a love letter written during World War II, on the occasion of their anniversary. The letter was originally published in the September 1961 issue of ONE Magazine. (You can read about ONE Magazine and the amazing contribution it made to furthering freedom of speech for LGBT people here.)
Dear Dave,
This is in memory of an anniversary – the anniversary of October 27th, 1943, when I first heard you singing in North Africa. That song brings memories of the happiest times I've ever known. Memories of a GI show troop – curtains made from barrage balloons – spotlights made from cocoa cans – rehearsals that ran late into the evenings – and a handsome boy with a wonderful tenor voice. Opening night at a theatre in Canastel – perhaps a bit too much muscatel, and someone who understood. Exciting days playing in the beautiful and stately Municipal Opera House in Oran – a misunderstanding – an understanding in the wings just before opening chorus.
Drinks at "Coq d'or" – dinner at the "Auberge" – a ring and promise given. The show 1st Armoured – muscatel, scotch, wine – someone who had to be carried from the truck and put to bed in his tent. A night of pouring rain and two very soaked GIs beneath a solitary tree on an African plain. A borrowed French convertible – a warm sulphur spring, the cool Mediterranean, and a picnic of "rations" and hot cokes. Two lieutenants who were smart enough to know the score, but not smart enough to realize that we wanted to be alone. A screwball piano player – competition – miserable days and lonely nights. The cold, windy night we crawled through the window of a GI theatre and fell asleep on a cot backstage, locked in each other's arms – the shock when we awoke and realized that miraculously we hadn't been discovered. A fast drive to a cliff above the sea – pictures taken, and a stop amid the purple grapes and cool leaves of a vineyard.
The happiness when told we were going home – and the misery when we learned that we would not be going together. Fond goodbyes on a secluded beach beneath the star-studded velvet of an African night, and the tears that would not be stopped as I stood atop the sea-wall and watched your convoy disappear over the horizon.
We vowed we'd be together again "back home," but fate knew better – you never got there. And so, Dave, I hope that where ever you are these memories are as precious to you as they are to me.
Goodnight, sleep well my love.
Brian Keith

1. can you create a cemetery list in legacy family tree
I put my cemeteries under Burial Address which puts them into the Master Event Address List. If you do too and you want a list for one cemetery it's easy. Just choose the cemetery, click Show List and then Create Search List. It will show up in the Name List and you can print it from there.
If you're looking for a list of all the cemeteries, it's not so easy. I could only find one way to make a list. Go through the Event Address List and tag the cemeteries one at a time. Then you can print the list.
You'd think doing a Detailed Search for 'Address-Name contains Cemetery' would work but it doesn't.
2. legacy family tree find cemetery list
If you put your cemeteries under Burial Address, Look under View/Master Lists/Address Lists/Event. If you put them somewhere else, that's where they'll be.
3. legacy family tree record burial cemeteries
I put them under Burial Address. Some people like to put burial as a separate event. And some people like to put them in the Master Location List.
4. legacy software moving cemeteries from city field
In the Master Location List, click Show People.
Then go through your locations clicking on all the cemeteries and editing all the people connected to them. Move the cemeteries out of the Buried fields to wherever else you want them. For instance, to Burial Address. Click the '+' sign next to the Buried location. Then click on Options/Purge Unused in the Master Location List and see a text document of all the ones that are now gone from there.
5. legacy family tree help
If you have Legacy Family Tree, there's a button on the toolbar called 'Help'.
If you don't have Legacy yet I don't know what you'd be needing. Or maybe you're looking for this: Legacy Official Users Guide PDF. Or, maybe you need to join the mailing list or a user group where you can ask questions. Or maybe you're looking for training CDs?
6. entering census data into legacy family tree
I could make a video but it's already been done.
7. legacy search in notes
Go to Search on your toolbar. Click on Find. Then click on Detailed Search. Under Where to look, scroll down to Notes and choose which kind of notes you want to search. If you want them all you'll have to do them one at a time, or use the Second Condition and Third Condition to search 3 types at once. First Condition OR Second Condition OR Third Condition. Then click the Create List button.
8. multiple marriages on pedigree
This is a logistical thing. Pedigree charts are built from a starting person going backwards.
Let's say I start with my father. His great-grandfather was married twice. However, only one of the wives was his great-grandmother, so for this purpose the other wife is irrelevant. Consequently, she's not in the chart.
9. using legacy family tree notes
This is a matter of opinion. I use General Notes for story-telling and odd notes that don't fit anywhere else. The type of thing that I would print out for a casual reader. I use Research Notes for making a log of research and outstanding questions, more for my personal use.
There are also Medical Notes, Birth Notes, Christening Notes, Death Notes, Burial Notes, Event Notes and Location Notes. Self-explanatory, I think except for the Events. For Event Notes I put transcriptions of records and other things that don't fit in the default boxes.
10. Legacy and organizing your sources
Does this mean within Legacy in the Master Source List? Or something else? In Legacy itself, I've decided on listing sources beginning with the country or state. I used to do it by type of record. Whichever way, it doesn't matter. However, there's no way to search in that list except by first letters, so pick something consistent if you can.
If 'organizing your sources' means something else, see the next question.
11. legacy genealogy paper record filing system
I'm stuck like glue to the MRIN Filing System. I use it for my digital files as well as my paper files. There are many other systems used by thousands and thousands of other people. There are thousands and thousands more that use no system at all because they're paralyzed by indecision.
12. lzw tiff windows legacy genealogy
What 'lzw tiff' means is a compressed TIFF. TIFFs can be compressed in a variety of ways in graphics software. LZW is a loseless compression that will cut the file size dramatically without compromising the quality of the image. Legacy will not import TIFFs that are LZW-compressed. You'll have to open each image in graphics software and re-save it with no compression. This is what it looks like in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
13. marriage tags dennis kowallek
Dennis Kowallek is the maker of LTools. LTools has an option to put the MRINs into the Marriage User ID field in the Marriage Information Screen. To be able to do this, the marriages have to be tagged in the Marriage List first. There is no way to tag marriages in Legacy except by clicking the tag boxes one at a time. But, after you've done that, you can run the LTool called Set Marriage User IDs.
14. legacy family tree copy to source clipboard
In the Assigned Sources window for each individual there's a button that looks like this:
If you hold your cursor over it, it says Copy Source to Clipboard.
15. merging family trees legacy
First, you have to import one tree into the other. So, open one tree, then click File/Import From and choose what type of file for your second tree. After you've done that, if it doesn't take you there automatically, click on Merge and follow your nose.
If there's no common person between your two files, there will be no-one to merge. If there's one common person, merging that person will put your two trees together. If your two trees have lots of people in common, all of them will have to be merged.
16. legacy merge file path images
If you want to move your images to a new location and change your file-path, go to Options/Customize/View Current List of Multimedia Locations, then click Change and browse to the location of your images. And do that for each folder of images that you're moving.
If you just need to clean up your file-paths, click Options/Combine Duplicates and Options/Purge Unused.
17. legacy family tree "sync notes" familysearch
I don't see syncing notes as an option yet although, if you're determined, you can copy and paste them into FamilySearch.

The votes have been tallied...most residents of East Carolina want a dry...beautiful day for Election Day on Tuesday. But Mother Nature could have different plans.
The latest forecast suggest that skies will begin to cloud up on Monday...and it could rain Tuesday into Wednesday. It won't be the first time it rained on Election Day and it won't be the last.
Although rain is in the forecast for Tuesday...it shouldn't affect your civic right to vote. I suppose it could be worse..with ice and snow or cold and windy conditions.
At this point if it does rain..this time around we'll see milder temperatures with readings in the mid to upper 60's for highs...and overnight lows in the low and mid 50's. The showers should end sometime on Wednesday.
So remember to bring the umbrella out to the polling places on Tuesday.

before the
ENERGY and NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) analysis of carbon emissions from energy and the potential impacts of the Kyoto Protocol.
EIA is an autonomous statistical and analytical agency within the Department of Energy. We are charged with providing objective, timely, and relevant data, analysis, and projections for the use of the Department, the Congress, and the public. We do not take positions on policy issues, but we do produce data and analysis reports that are meant to help policy makers decide energy policy. Because we have an element of statutory independence with respect to the analyses that we publish, our views are strictly those of EIA. We do not speak for the Department, nor for any particular point of view with respect to energy policy, and our views should not be construed as representing those of the Secretary of Energy or the Department's policy position. EIA's baseline projections on energy trends, however, are widely used by government agencies, the private sector, and academia for their own energy analyses.
Each year EIA publishes the Annual Energy Outlook, which provides projections and analysis of domestic energy consumption, supply, prices, and carbon emissions. These projections are not meant to be exact predictions of the future but represent a likely future, assuming known trends in demographics and technology improvements and also assuming current laws, regulations, and policies. In October 1998, EIA published the report Impacts of the Kyoto Protocol on U.S. Energy Markets and Economic Activity,(1) which is the focus of my testimony today. The report was done at the request of the House Committee on Science, which specified certain assumptions for the analysis.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Kyoto Protocol
Carbon abatement is a highly complex issue, far more complicated than most other emissions reduction programs. Although comparisons are drawn between the sulfur dioxide (SO2) reduction program for electricity generators and carbon reduction, there are several key differences. First, carbon emissions are an international issue. The U.S. climate would potentially be affected as much by carbon emissions around the globe as by emissions in the United States. Also, there are a vast number of entities that emit carbon--homes, factories, vehicles, commercial facilities, and agricultural sources--unlike the relatively few electricity generators covered by the SO2 reduction program in the first phase. Finally, unlike SO2, there are not cost-effective means at this time to remove and sequester carbon other than by natural processes, such as afforestation.
The Kyoto Protocol calls for the United States to reduce its total net emissions of six greenhouse gases, weighted for their global warming potential, by 7 percent relative to 1990 emissions levels. This reduction is to be achieved on average during the years 2008 to 2012. Much of the focus on emissions reduction is on the energy sector because energy use is the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. In 1997, carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of energy totaled 83 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.(2) Reducing carbon emissions below 1990 levels would be a challenging task, as they had already increased 10 percent by 1997 and are projected with current policies to rise by 2010 to 33 percent over 1990 levels.
Carbon emissions from energy can be reduced in several ways. First, there can be a shift from fossil to nonfossil fuels, such as nuclear power or renewable sources of energy. Second, energy use can shift from highly carbon-intensive fossil fuels to those with lower carbon intensity. For example, natural gas produces only about half the carbon emissions per unit of thermal output as coal. Also, energy consumers can use more energy-efficient technologies, thereby using less energy to achieve the same level of energy service. Finally, consumers can reduce the level of energy services, for example, by traveling less or lowering their demand for heating and cooling.
EIA's analysis assumed that a price mechanism would be used to encourage more rapid development and adoption of energy-efficient technologies, the use of less carbon-intensive fuels, and a reduction in energy demand. The price mechanism is applied to fossil fuels relative to their level of carbon content. Although electricity itself emits no carbon, the carbon price is applied to the fuels used to generate electricity and is passed to consumers through the price of electricity. This price mechanism may take the form of a carbon tax, a carbon permit trading system, or a carbon permit auction. In addition to price incentives, reductions in carbon emissions could be achieved by regulatory or voluntary programs.
Within the Kyoto Protocol, there are a number of ways for the United States to achieve the overall target apart from energy-related carbon reductions. The Protocol recognizes that different countries may have different levels of opportunity for emissions reductions and allows emissions trading among the Annex I countries. Joint implementation projects are also allowed among the Annex I countries, whereby a nation can earn emissions credits by investing in projects that reduce emissions or enhance emissions-absorbing sinks, such as forests, in other Annex I countries. The Protocol also establishes a Clean Development Mechanism, under which Annex I countries can earn credits for projects that reduce net emissions in non-Annex I countries. Apart from these international activities, domestic investment in carbon absorption activities, such as reforestation, or in reducing the emissions of the other greenhouse gases covered by the Protocol may also lower the required reduction in carbon emissions.
These flexibility measures in the Protocol offer opportunities to reduce the cost of complying with the Protocol, but complicate the analysis. Rules and guidelines for the international trading, joint implementation, and the Clean Development Mechanism are not specified in the Protocol and will be finalized at some future international meeting. Also, the actual opportunities for low-cost investment in emissions abatement in other countries cannot be known with certainty or whether other Annex I countries would be willing to sell emissions permits or would hold them for credit against future reductions. Finally, the role of sinks and other greenhouse gases in offsetting carbon reductions remains uncertain. Therefore, these items were addressed through alternative cases of energy-related carbon reductions.
In addition to these difficulties, there are a number of other uncertainties in analyzing the Protocol. Different energy analysts have different opinions about the price elasticity of energy--how quickly energy consumers will react to changes in energy prices by changing their patterns of energy use or by purchasing different energy-using equipment and also whether consumers change their behavior in anticipation of future price increases. Unknown future policies may raise or lower the costs of the impacts. It is also not possible to foresee with certainty how energy-using technologies will develop in the future. Finally, the entire issue of climate change and greenhouse emissions reductions is relatively new, and measurement systems and methods of gauging how individual consumers or countries will respond to an international effort of this scope and magnitude need to be further developed.
Analysis of the Kyoto Protocol
At the request of the Congressional committee, the EIA analysis was based upon the methodologies and assumptions in the Annual Energy Outlook 1998 (AEO98),(3) with no changes in policy, regulatory actions, or funding for energy and environmental programs, since no specific policies had been advanced. The analysis was conducted using the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), EIA's energy-economic model of domestic energy markets, which underlies the AEO98 projections.
In most of the energy-producing and consuming sectors, NEMS includes explicit treatment of individual technologies and their characteristics, such as capital and operating costs, date of commercial availability, efficiency, and other relevant characteristics. Because of this detailed representation of technology, NEMS captures the most significant factors that influence the turnover of energy-using equipment and the choice of new technologies and is appropriate for the analysis of the transitional impacts of policies designed to influence the choice of new technologies. NEMS also represents consumer choice through empirically-derived price elasticities and behavioral characteristics.
Because more energy-efficient and less-carbon intensive technologies can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, the rate of technological progress and its penetration is one of the major factors and key uncertainties in determining the cost of carbon reductions. In its analysis, EIA incorporates ongoing trends of technological progress for both energy consumption and production, taking into account the characteristics of current technologies and those technologies assumed to be available and cost effective within the forecast horizon. In general, higher energy prices do not alter the characteristics or availability of energy-using technologies but encourage more rapid adoption of more efficient or advanced technologies because consumers would have more incentive to purchase them. However, the turnover rate of the capital stock--homes, appliances, and automobiles--can be slow, limiting the speed with which new, more-efficient technologies can capture a significant share of the market.
Carbon Reduction Cases
Because of the uncertainties concerning the final implementation of the Protocol, EIA's analysis included the reference case of what is expected with current policies and six additional cases with a range of reductions for energy-related carbon emissions in the United States. In each case, the United States achieves its target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 7 percent; however, different means are used to reach the target. The cases in the analysis implicitly assume different levels of international trading, other international activities, forestry and agricultural sinks, and offsets from other greenhouse gases, with the remaining reduction taken in energy-related carbon reductions. Each of these cases is compared to a reference case that assumes no enforced carbon reductions in order to analyze the energy and economic impacts of achieving the reductions.
The reference case of the analysis is based upon the reference case from the Annual Energy Outlook 1998, in accordance with the Congressional request. By 2010, energy-related carbon emissions are projected to increase from 1,346 million metric tons in 1990 to 1,791 million metric tons, 33 percent above 1990 levels. The six carbon reduction cases range from reducing emissions to an average of 24 percent above 1990 levels (1990+24%) between 2008 and 2012 to reducing emissions to an average of 7 percent below 1990 levels (1990-7%) over the same period (Figure 1). The 1990+24% case assumes that international trading and other activities offset most (77 percent) of the required reductions in carbon emissions from energy; however, the 1990-7% case essentially assumes that the 7-percent target in the Kyoto Protocol must be met by energy-related carbon emissions with no net offsets from sinks, other greenhouse gases, or international activities. In this case, carbon emissions from energy are reduced approximately 30 percent from reference case levels in 2010.
In each of the cases, the target is achieved on average for the years in the first commitment period, 2008 through 2012. Although the rationale for the averaging is not explicitly stated in the Protocol, the fact sheet issued by the Department of State on January 15, 1998, indicates that this flexibility smooths short-term fluctuations in economic performance or weather. Because the Protocol does not specify targets beyond the first commitment period, the target is assumed to hold constant through 2020, the end of the forecast horizon. The target is assumed to be phased in over a three-year period, beginning in 2005 since the Protocol indicates that demonstrable progress toward reducing emissions must be shown by 2005. This allows energy markets to begin adjustments to meet the reduction targets.
Carbon Prices
In 2010, the carbon prices necessary to achieve the carbon emissions reduction targets range from $67 per metric ton (1996 dollars) in the 1990+24% case to $348 per metric ton in the 1990-7% case (Figure 2). In the three cases with the more severe reductions, the carbon price escalates more rapidly through 2010 in order to achieve the reductions in the commitment period then declines by 2020 as cumulative investments in more energy-efficient and lower-carbon equipment, particularly in the electricity generation sector, reduce the marginal cost of compliance in the later years of the forecast. The carbon prices represent the marginal cost of reducing carbon emissions to the specified level, reflecting the price the United States would be willing to pay in order to purchase carbon permits from other countries or to induce carbon reductions in other countries. In the absence of a complete analysis of international carbon markets, these carbon prices do not represent the international market-clearing price of carbon permits or the price at which other countries would be willing to offer permits.
Energy Intensity
Carbon fees raise the delivered prices of energy and lead to a decline in the overall intensity of energy use. Energy intensity, measured as primary energy consumed per dollar of gross domestic product (GDP), declines at an average annual rate of 1 percent between 2005 and 2010 in the reference case. In the carbon reduction cases, the rate of intensity improvement improves in the same period to between 1.6 percent a year in the 1990+24% case and 3.0 percent a year in the 1990-7% case (Figure 3).
Electricity Generation
In 2010, carbon reductions from electricity generation account for between 68 and 75 percent of the total carbon reductions due to lower electricity demand than in the reference case and the penetration of more efficient, less carbon-intensive generation technologies. Electricity generators are expected to respond more strongly to higher prices than end-use consumers because the industry has generally sought to minimize costs and factors future energy price increases into their investment decisions. In contrast, the end-use consumers are assumed to consider only current prices in making their investment decisions and consider factors other than price. Also, a number of more-efficient and lower-carbon technologies for electricity generation
become economically available due to the carbon price.
In the electricity generation sector, fuel switching accounts for most of the carbon reductions. Relative to the reference case, the delivered price of coal to generators in 2010 is higher by between 153 and nearly 800 percent in the carbon reduction cases. Coal-fired generation accounts for half of all generation in 2010 in the reference case, but its share drops to between 42 percent and 12 percent in the carbon reduction cases. To replace coal plants, generators build more natural gas plants, extend the life of existing nuclear plants, and, particularly in the more stringent reduction cases, dramatically increase the use of renewables as costs per megawatt decline with more penetration, especially biomass and wind energy systems. Improved generation efficiency and lower electricity sales also contribute to lower carbon emissions from generation. Across the carbon reduction cases, electricity sales in 2010 are reduced from between 4 and 17 percent relative to the reference case, as electricity prices increase between 20 and 86 percent above those in the reference case.
Share of Energy Fuels
The slate of energy fuels used in the United States is projected to change from that in the reference case (Figure 4). The use of both coal and petroleum is reduced, and there is a greater reliance on natural gas, renewable energy, and nuclear power. Although the consumption of petroleum declines relative to the reference case, it increases slightly as a share because most petroleum is used in the transportation sector in which there are fewer fuel substitutes available.
Because of the high carbon content of coal, total domestic coal consumption is significantly reduced in the carbon reduction cases, mostly for electricity generation but also in the industrial sector. Coal exports are also lower in the carbon reduction cases due to lower demand for coal in the Annex I nations, further reducing domestic coal production.
Natural Gas
Natural gas consumption is higher than in the reference case in 2010 by a range of 2 to 12 percent across the carbon reduction cases. Although the use of natural gas is lower in the end-use sectors due to demand reductions and efficiency improvements, this is more than offset by the increase in consumption for electricity generation. Although meeting the levels of production that may be required will be a challenge for the industry, sufficient natural gas resources are available, and the potential increases in both drilling and pipeline capacity are within levels achieved historically.
Renewable Energy
Consumption of renewable energy, which results in no net carbon emissions, is projected to increase by between 2 and 16 percent in 2010 and by between 9 and 70 percent in 2020. Most of this increase occurs in electricity generation, primarily with additions to wind energy systems and an increase in the use of biomass (wood, switch grass, and refuse), both of which significantly increase their share of electricity generation with higher carbon prices (Figure 5). Because additional renewable technologies become available and economic later in the forecast period, the share of renewable generation continues to increase through 2020, reaching as high as 22 percent in 2020, compared to 9 percent in the reference case.
Nuclear Power
In the reference case about half of the current nuclear plants are projected to retire by 2020. In accordance with the request, no new nuclear plants are assumed to be built in the carbon reduction cases, but extending the lifetimes of existing plants
becomes more economical with higher carbon prices. In more stringent reduction cases, most existing nuclear plants are life-extended through 2020.
Petroleum and Transportation Demand
In 2010, the average price of gasoline increases by between 11 and 53 percent across the carbon reduction cases, compared to the reference case (Figure 6). Although carbon emissions from transportation are reduced due to lower travel and the purchase of more efficient vehicles, the transportation sector accounts for the lowest reductions of all the end-use demand sectors. This is a result of the continued dominance of petroleum although alternative-fuel vehicles increase their market share. New car efficiency improves with higher carbon prices, but vehicle turnover rates slow the improvement of the fleet. Total light-duty fleet efficiency rises from 20.5 miles per gallon in 2010 to only between 20.7 and 21.7 miles per gallon. The impact of carbon prices on the economy also lowers light-duty vehicle and airline travel and freight requirements and
induces some efficiency improvements in the airline and freight sectors. Primarily due to lower demand in the transportation sector, petroleum consumption is reduced in all of the carbon reduction cases by between 2 and 13 percent in 2010 compared to the reference case. Because crude oil and petroleum product imports are reduced relative to the reference case, the dependency of the United States on imported petroleum is reduced from the reference case level of 59 percent to as little as 53 percent in 2010.
Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Demand
In both the residential and commercial sectors, higher energy prices encourage investments in more efficient equipment and building shells and reduce the demand for energy services. As a result, energy use per household and per square foot of commercial floorspace declines with higher carbon prices. Space heating, cooling, and ventilation account for the largest share of the demand reductions. More efficient lighting and office equipment and lower electricity demand for a variety of miscellaneous appliances, such as computers, televisions, VCRs, and telecommunications equipment also contribute to lower energy consumption. In the industrial sector, businesses replace productive capacity faster, invest in more efficient technology, and switch to less carbon-intensive fuels; however, total industrial output is also lower due to the impact of higher energy prices on the economy.
Macroeconomic Impacts
Apart from the impacts of the higher prices on energy markets, there are likely to be significant impacts on the macroeconomy. As energy costs rise due to the carbon prices, the rate of decline in energy consumption per dollar of GDP will accelerate. Other factors of production in the economy, including labor and capital, become relatively less expensive, and there will be some adjustments to substitute labor and capital for more expensive energy. Some economic potential is lost in that process. This will reduce the potential GDP for the United States, which is the long-run equilibrium path of the economy when all resources--labor, capital, and energy--are fully employed.
There are additional transitional costs that are likely to arise as energy price increases disrupt capital or employment markets. These short-run costs would impact the actual GDP but could be moderated by adjustments to Federal monetary and fiscal policies. The analysis assumes that a carbon permit trading system functions as an auction run by the Federal Government and that the revenues raised through the auction would be recycled back into the economy. Recycling of the funds would increase disposable income and encourage both consumption and investment, offsetting some adverse short-term effects on the economy. Two alternative fiscal policies were analyzed: one recycling the revenues through a lump sum rebate in the personal income tax and the other through the social security tax rates.
It is estimated that the loss in potential GDP will range from $13 billion to $72 billion (1992 dollars) in 2010. In an economy today of more than $7 trillion, which is expected to grow to more than $9.4 trillion in 2010, the percentage loss in output ranges from 0.1 percent to 0.8 percent in 2010. The loss in actual GDP is projected to range between $61 billion and $183 billion in 2010 if revenues are returned through a social security tax rebate and between $96 billion and $397 billion if they are recycled through personal income taxes. When viewed from the perspective of growth rates, the economy continues to grow, but at a slower rate between 2005 and 2010 (Figure 7). Although there is a slowing of economic growth initially, actual GDP returns to the potential path later in the forecast period, muting the economic impacts through 2020 (Figure 8). In effect, the economy adjusts to the emissions reductions and achieves a higher growth rate than in the reference case between 2010 and 2020.
The finding that economic growth slows only moderately in the transition period and slows only slightly when averaged to 2020 results from two factors. First, energy costs have become a smaller part of the overall economy than in the past, muting broader impacts of energy price increases. Second, some revenues from the higher costs of energy can be recycled back into the American economy, as opposed to, for instance, going to foreign oil producers. The continued growth of the economy and of personal disposable income during the period of carbon reductions is one of the reasons that energy prices reach the high levels in our projections. With growing personal income, energy consumers will be more willing to pay higher energy costs to maintain desired life styles.

Idiopathic or primary livedo reticularis refers to a netlike pattern of reddish-blue skin discoloration. Usually the legs are affected. The condition is linked to swollen blood vessels. It may get worse when the temperature is cold.
Idiopathic means the cause is unknown.
Livedo reticularis; Primary livedo reticularis
The cause of primary or idiopathic livedo reticularis is not known, therefore specific treatment is usually not recommended. If the condition is due to exposure to cold, keeping the legs warm may help relieve the symptoms.

In essays by grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, one might expect a sense of inadequacy and guilt. Instead, there's empowerment, and an appreciation of the privileges of freedom.
Israel Gutman, Israel's most prominent survivor historian, died in Jerusalem on October 1.
Vladka Meed, one of the last surviving leaders of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, died in Phoenix on November 21 just before her 91st birthday.
Holocaust scholar Henry Friedlander, who established the significance of Hitler's mass murder of the disabled as a precursor to the Shoah, has died. He was 82.
Those who lived through the Holocaust understandably have a different perspective on it than scholars who study it. At long last, they are starting to understand one another.
Peter Novick, author of 'The Holocaust in American Life,' argued that Jews overused the Holocaust to create a false sense of oppression in the U.S.
Eli Pfefferkorn was sent to a concentration camp and lived to tell about it, albeit 65 years later. He sheds light on how real human beings lived and died amid the horror.
Hyman Bookbinder was an institution in Washington D.C. With a gift for compromise, the AJC leader built support for civil rights and Israel.
Marilyn Henry was the quintessential old-school girl reporter — more Hildy Johnson in "His Girl Friday" than Brenda Starr. Her laser-sharp brain could cut through the most complex philosophical, financial, legal, religious and arcane data to get to the heart of a story.
The number of visitors to Auschwitz is growing by the year, even as the memory of the events that transpired there grows increasingly distant. These are among the reasons that the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has decided to revamp its exhibitions for the 21st century.

text: Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon should have been celebrating this week the first anniversary of his re-election last January. Instead his mind was concentrated on the more pressing matter of his political survival, as the legal noose drew ever tighter around his neck over a series of corruption scandals. At the forefront is the case of a millionaire Israeli businessman, David Appel, who was charged last week with paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to Sharon's family in the form of a bribe. According to the charges, he hoped to use Sharon's influence to secure a huge real estate deal, in what has become known as the "Greek island affair".

Now that's just awesome. I was at the gaming store with a friend on Saturday and picked up a DDM aboleth mage mini. I can't wait to use it in a game. I think I'll also snag a copy of your aboleth city too if you don't mind. Might come in handy someday...when I feel like driving my players mad! Rep from me too.
Very cool design. Kind of reminds me of a Mandelbrot set.

NEW YORK (AP) — As the Twitterverse expands with millions of users, it can be hard to have a unique voice. Nicole Richie doesn't have that problem.
Some examples:
"'It's 8:30am & I've already gotten into 5 fights' – thugs, and parents of toddlers."
"This therapist is going to be GREAT for me once I stop lying to him."
"I'm gonna dress up as an iPhone so my husband pays attention to me."
Tweets like that earned her not only millions of followers but the attention of production company Telepictures, which was already aware of Richie's popularity and wanted to work with her.
"As soon as we began pursuing her we also began following her on Twitter," recalls Laura Mandel, Sr. Vice President of Development of Telepictures. "We were struck by how funny and candid she was and wanted to really showcase that side of her personality, which we haven't seen in a long time."
They teamed up with AOL to create the web series (hash)CandidlyNicole. Each video is about five minutes and a new one is posted every Tuesday morning.
The first webisode, where 31-year-old Richie consults with a doctor about having her "tramp stamp" (or tattoo on her lower back) removed, earned 1 million views in just its first week. (Try not to at least smirk as she keeps referring to the doctor as "Dr. Tatt-off.")
In a recent phone interview, Richie said she's "thrilled" by the response but still has a hard time grasping that she's funny.
"My husband (musician Joel Madden) doesn't think I'm funny at all," she said. "He has not laughed at a joke of mine since 2006. I don't necessarily always just mean to be funny. I just kind of say whatever's on my mind but I do know that I have a very specific way of looking at my life."

Get Your Game On
Matias Ocner
If you're a hardcore gamer, you probably know about these recently released and upcoming games. If not, here are some highlights of new holiday releases and some reasons why you'll want to get your hands on the joysticks.
Assasin's Creed 3
Are you taking American History this semester? If so, then kindly ask your professor if playing Assassin's Creed III will net you some extra credit points. If not, still consider playing the game, since it will undoubtedly be one of the holidays season's biggest hits.
In the upcoming threequel, being produced by Ubisoft, the player takes the role of Connor Kenway, an assassin who's both British and Native American. The game takes place before, during and after the American Revolution and will have you running through the cities of pre-colonial New York and Boston. Ubisoft has shown demos where our protagonist Connor is taking missions from historical figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and even Samuel Adams.
The Assassin's Creed series has been around since 2007 and this new entry to the series, has already spawned a development time of three years. The game will feature new climbing, parkour and combat mechanics. For instance, the player will be able to finally swing seamlessly from tree to tree, without the fear of glitchy mechanics to interfere.
During a demo, Ubisoft demonstrates just how interesting things can get. They assign Connor a target to kill and the chase begins. As enemies start to appear, he bolts into action, quickly killing his enemies on the fly and still being able to catch up to his opponent.
They also showed off some of the naval battles the game will feature. Connor will be able to commandeer a ship, where he must engage his enemies on the sea.
Ubisoft promises high entertainment from it's latest game, with a plus 40 hour campaign and a multiplayer mode to keep fans hooked. If you're an old veteran or new to the series, there is something for you here. The game is set to release October 30, for PS3 and XBOX 360.
Resident Evil 6
Biochemical weapons, the apocalypse, and everyone's favorite enemies—zombies—are all present in Capcom's next integration to the Resident Evil franchise.
Ever since Resident Evil 4, the developers have molded the series more toward an action-survival based game, rather than keeping with its initial thriller foundation. With this said, don't think Resident Evil 6 is a walk in the park, full of happiness and joy. There will be enough scary moments to convince you that hanging out with friends or attending that family get-together would have been much more comforting than playing the game.
Now for all those who like being scared and don't mind the gory graphics, Resident Evil 6 will not only offer you a great single-player campaign, it will feature the series' returning multiplayer cooperative mode. Depending on the character you choose to play as, different partners will be assigned. The three main protagonists are Leon, Chris and Jake, who will be accompanied by their partners Helena, Piers, and Sherry. The player can choose to venture off into any of their perspective campaigns, where the story arcs intertwine between all of the characters.
The game story begins in December 2012, where terrorists begin to attack countries with biochemical weapons that mutate people into zombies. The fictional world is a close imitation of Earth, where cities compare to those of Hong Kong or Berlin.
One of the newest additions to the series is a new dodge mechanic, where players will have more freedom to evade incoming melee attacks. Also, on the fly weapon switching, where one won't be required to open a menu to choose a firearm.
Resident Evil 6 released on October 2, and can be played on PC, PS3, or XBOX 360.
Dishonored is one of the most anticipated games to be released this holiday season. Developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks, the game has been building an increasing fanbase since it was first announced back in 2011.
The story tells of a man, Corvo Attano, who was betrayed and falsely accused of killing the Empress of Dunwall during the industrial revolution.
The game's motto is simple: "Revenge Solves Everything." Attano now seeks to kill all those who cheated him and will stop at nothing to complete his mission.
The player must choose between stealth and combat routes, where they can either move toward their objective without being seen or unleash a full-frontal assault. Shown at the E3 videogame convention in LA, the protagonist must eliminate a target who is protected by many guards and traps. With the use of magical powers, trinkets, and excellent swordsmanship, our hero wipes the room clean without being detected.
One interesting feature the game is promoting is the ability to possess any living creature. For instance, Attano is about to be shot, but as soon as the guard pulls the trigger, he slows time, possesses him, and moves the patrol infront of the bullet. When time is restored, the enemy kills himself, and the hero walks away unharmed.
Another fascinating ability is that of teleportation, where Attano can appear and disappear within any given area. Mix these abilities with some of the gadgets our silent protagonist acquires, and Arkane studios has a recipe for an instant hit.
The developers not only crafted a great story, full of twists and turns, but have also created intriguing game mechanics that are sure to appeal to the masses. Dishonored is released October 9, and is available for PC, PS3, and XBOX 360.
Halo 4
Cortana and Master Chief reunite once again following the events of Halo 3, where our hero was last seen wandering through space. Halo 4 is being developed by first-time developer 343 Industries after the previous developer, Bungie, departed from the series in 2007.
Anticipation is high, there is substantial amounts of fanfare surrounding Halo 4, revered as one of the most popular FPS (First Person Shooter) games around. 343 Industries promises to improve upon story and character development, however, they will be maintaining the core gameplay intact. If it's not broken, don't fix it.
The developer is trying to take a new spin with the game's main campaign, now dubbed Spartan Ops. In which, content will continue to unlock in an episodic fashion during its initial ten week period. This will have players coming back, extending the games appeal and overall replayability.
Halo 4 will include a four-player cooperative mode. In which players can aid each other in tackling the games legendary mode. Also, fans can expect to see varying multiplayer modes, the return of the forge (a tool that allows one to create custom maps), and the ability to watch replays.
Halo 4 is set to release November 6, for Xbox 360 only.
World of Warcraft: Mist Of Pandaria
"The drums of war thunder once again", and with these words, Blizzard Entertainment began its typhoon series, World of Warcraft, in 2004.
Fast forward to the present and the company has just released its fourth expansion, Mists of Pandaria. The MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) recently reported a member base of 9.1 million users, who pay a subscription fee of $15 monthly.
With the new expansion, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria goes back to its roots, by reigniting the tension between the alliance and the horde. Players are set into frenzy when Garrosh Hellscream, the horde's current Warchief, decides to attack the only alliance base on Kalimdor—Theramore Isle. In turn causing chaos, which pivots the alliance's decision to go into full-on war. Throughout these battles, the factions discover Pandaria, a mystical area which is home to the Pandaren.
Pandaria is formed up of seven regions, ranging from hills, forests, and desert terrains. The Pandaren are the game's newest race, where the player is initially neutral, but must decide on a faction. And what better way to rollout the Pandarians, than by featuring a new Monk class, who some may reference Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda.
Within the featured zones, the game will have three new raids, four battleground arenas, and nine dungeons for players to enjoy. The level cap has been increased from 85 to 90. New mounts, pets, and gear can also be found throughout the campaign, but beware, this will not come at ease. Considering that World of Warcraft has been known to be extremely addicting, all of these additions are sure to keep players playing.
