The most amazing friend anyone could ever want. She always understands, and she can make anyone's day a little bit brighter. Funny, insane in the best way possible, in love with penguins, beautiful inside and out, unforgettable, extremely smart, loves junk food, and she's absolutely perfect though she won't admit it. Friends with a ton of people, but then she also has her group of a few close friends. Each of her friends is important to her, even if they aren't super close. Always fun to be around. All in all, a day with Vienna is a day that you will never regret!
Person 1: Who's that girl over there?!
Person 2: Oh, that's my friend Vienna. She's amazing!
Person 1: I wish she was my friend too :( Can you introduce us? I can't wait to meet her!

She's smart and witty, basically a lovely person to be around and a great friend who's there when you need her most. She can eat any amount and never gain weight! Also a mega social butterfly so she has all the gossip. However she will never accept a compliment that comes her way!

Take the "Free" Benefits of Employment
Whether it's medical benefits or free cash via a retirement account, I think many people underutilize the benefits they receive from work. I know I don't think of using my free checkups/physicals until I have to re-enroll for the next year (coming up soon in July). Not only have you already paid for these benefits, it'll help you live a healthier and fuller life! 🙂
Every medical plan includes a routine examination and physical every single year at usually no cost to you. Ever hear of those stories where the doctor caught something that could've been much worse in a routine physical? All you have to do is schedule an appointment, go in, and get yourself checked out. As you grow older, other preventative maintenance examinations are also included. If they don't find anything out of the ordinary, that's great. If they do? Then they'll have caught it as early as realistically possibly, every year. In addition to these, your plan may include chiropractor's visits or other sorts of doctor's visits you wouldn't even have thought of. Take a look at your plans and see what you can get for free.
Again, a free dental cleaning every year. You may absolutely hate going to the dentist but if you go every year then small cavities are caught before their large cavities and anything else that could be problematic can be detected early. Plus, if your teeth are cleaned infrequently then it'll take a much harder scrubbing to get them clean.
If you're enrolled in a vision plan, typically a yearly exam is also included for free. Get those eyes checked and be able to see correctly. Some plans also include a free pair of glasses or a number of pairs of contacts each year for free (think of it really as paying up front).
I didn't want to leave "free" benefits without talking about the free company match contribution to a 401k. As much as it's been brought to the forefront by mainstream media, lots of people still don't contribute to their retirement plans! My company will fully match the first 2% and 50% of the next 2% of your contribution. At my company, that contribution is fully vested immediately (some plans require a longer time period, 5 years seems to be typical) so it's worth it even if I intended to leave tomorrow.
Have I missed any? Let me know!

Watch Nights mark Emancipation Proclamation 150th
As New Year's Day approached 150 years ago, all eyes were on President Abraham Lincoln. The nation was expecting what he warned would be coming just 100 days earlier: a final proclamation declaring all slaves to be free in Southern states rebelling against the Union.
The tradition of holding Watch Night services began Dec. 31, 1862, as many black church congregations awaited word that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect amid the ongoing Civil War.
This year, that tradition follows the document to its home at the National Archives, with a special midnight display planned with readings, songs and bell ringing among the nation's founding documents.
The official proclamation bearing Lincoln's signature and the United States seal will make a rare appearance beginning Sunday.

Each entry includes the name of the drug candidate; the sponsor and any collaboration partners involved; method of action; indication; Phase III trials; and other information where applicable. [© Radu Razvan - Fotolia.com]
Last year, GEN presented 25 drugs in the pipeline for diabetes; now we bring you an updated list of drug candidates for which diabetes or complications from diabetes is at least one proposed or approved indication, and for which one indication has reached Phase III registration phases and/or approval or rejection of application. Entries are listed alphabetically.
Transparency Market Research recently reported that the global market for diabetes management accounted for $41.9 billion in 2010 and is expected to attain a market size of $114.3 billion in 2016 following a growth rate of 18.2% CAGR. Accordingly, pharma and biotech firms are developing and clinically testing novel therapeutic formulations and experimenting with a range of delivery systems, some new and others old reliables. These include pens, syringes, smart sponges, oral, and tablets.
Sponsor/Developer: MannKind
Mechanism of action: Ultra rapid-acting mealtime insulin therapy administered using next-generation Dreamboat™ inhaler; inhalable powder
Indication: Adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes
Regulatory review status: Awaiting decision from FDA on NDA submitted in October.
Phase III trial(s):
Sponsor/Developer: GlaxoSmithKline; developed by Human Genome Sciences, which licensed the drug for late-stage trials before Glaxo acquired the company for $3 billion last year
Mechanism of action: Glucagon-like peptide (GLP) 1 agonist
Indication: Once-weekly for adults with type 2 diabetes
Regulatory review status:
Phase III trial(s): Clinical program assessed some 5,000 patients in eight Phase III studies (Harmony 1–8). Harmony 8, a 52-week trial comparing albiglutide to sitagliptin in type 2 diabetes patients with renal impairment, met its 26-week primary endpoints, showing clinically and statistically significant reductions in glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) from baseline (8.08% for albiglutide and 8.22% for sitagliptin), as well as superiority versus sitagliptin (reduction of 0.83% vs. 0.52%) and significantly greater weight loss (-0.79 kg vs. -0.19 kg). An FDA-required meta-analysis ruled out excess cardiovascular risk according to an agency-set threshold.
Sponsor/Developer: Roche
Mechanism of action: Dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α/γ activation
Indication: Cardiovascular risk reduction in type 2 diabetes
Phase III trial(s): All terminated in July due to what the company called "safety signals and lack of efficacy", though several news reports quoted a company spokesman as saying the drug caused side effects in some patients that included fractures, kidney failure, and heart failure. On October 30, Roche told GEN it would "shortly" update a posting on ClinicalTrials.gov to reflect the termination. The posting, still on the website as of November 4, stated that the company was recruiting patients to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of aleglitazar monotherapy compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes who have not previously received antihyperglycemic therapy, based on change in Hb1Ac over 26 weeks, with estimated completion date of February 2014 (NCT01691755, last updated October 28).
Sponsor/Developer: Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Furiex Pharmaceuticals
Mechanism of action: DPP-4 inhibitor
Indication: Oral treatment of type 2 diabetes, individually and in two fixed-dose combinations
Phase III trial(s): Two key studies were completed in 2013: ENDURE (Efficacy and Safety of Alogliptin Plus Metformin Compared to Glipizide Plus Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), performed to support EU registrations, showed that 25 mg alogliptin in addition to metformin, offers superior durability of glycemic control, more favorable effects on glycohemoglobin, and no negative impact on weights compared to a sulphonylurea plus metformin. EXAMINE (EXamination of CArdiovascular OutcoMes: AlogliptIN vs. Standard of CarE in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Acute Coronary Syndrome), which compared alogliptin to standard of care, met its primary objective of demonstrating noninferiority of CV risk based on a primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke. Rates of hypoglycemia, malignancy, pancreatitis, serum aminotransferase elevations, and of serious adverse events were similar for the alogliptin and placebo groups. A total 13,000 patients were assessed in placebo- and active-controlled clinical trials worldwide.
Sponsor/Developer: AbbVie
Mechanism of action: Selective endothelin-A receptor antagonist
Indication: Oral once-daily treatment for diabetic nephropathy
Phase III trial(s): Study Of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan (SONAR) trial now recruiting patients for a study designed to assess the effects of atrasentan (0.75 mg administered orally once daily) when added to standard of care on progression of kidney disease in patients with stage 2 to 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes. The study is expected to evaluate atrasentan's impact on renal outcomes, such as the onset of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), as defined by need for chronic dialysis, transplant or death due to renal failure progression. (NCT01858532, last updated October 7). SONAR trial announced in May, following positive results from Phase IIb studies presented at the 2013 European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Congress in Istanbul, Turkey. Findings from 12-week studies of two doses of atrasentan (0.75 mg and 1.25 mg) vs. placebo showed sustained reductions in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR; the study's primary endpoint) of 36% in the 0.75 mg, 44% in 1.25 mg group vs. increase of 2% in placebo group.
Sponsor/Developer: Eli Lilly
Mechanism of action: GLP-1 analog
Indication: Once-weekly for type 2 diabetes
Regulatory review status: Awaiting decisions from FDA and EU on marketing approval submissions. Addressing investors October 3, Lilly said dulaglutide was one of three new medicines it expects to launch in 2014.
Sponsor/Developer: Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly
Mechanism of action: Sodium dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor
Indication: Oral treatment for adults with type 2 diabetes
Regulatory review status: Awaiting decisions from regulators on marketing authorization applications submitted in March to FDA in March, and to European Medicines Agency. Addressing investors October 3, Lilly said empagliflozin was one of three new medicines it expects to launch in 2014.
Phase III trial(s): Clinical trial program has enrolled more than 14,500 patients, and comprises more than 10 multinational clinical trials. In September at 49th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting, BI and Lilly presented results based on efficacy data from 2,477 patients treated with empagliflozin (10 mg or 25 mg) for 24 weeks—either as monotherapy or as add-on to metformin, metformin with sulphonylurea, or pioglitazone with or without metformin. At week 24, patients treated with empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg showed significant reductions from baseline in HbA1c of 0.70% and 0.76% respectively (compared to a change of -0.08% for placebo), as well as a loss of 2.05 kg (4.5 lbs.) and 2.25 kg (about 5 lbs.) of body weight respectively from baseline, compared to a reduction of 0.24 kg for placebo.
In June at the American Diabetes Association 73rd Scientific Sessions®, Lilly and BI cited additional pooled Phase III results of more than 14,500 patients enrolled in 12 multinational trials, including a large cardiovascular outcome trial showing that people with type 2 diabetes treated with empagliflozin vs. placebo achieved significant reductions after 24 weeks in HbA1c (of 0.62% for 10 mg and 0.68% for 25 mg), fasting plasma glucose (FPG; of 27.9 mg/dL for 10 mg, and 30.6 mg/dL for 25 mg), weight (of 3.99 lbs. for 10 mg and 4.43 lbs. for 25 mg), and blood pressure.
One of three compounds slated for development through a diabetes alliance of the companies.
Sponsor/Developer: Merck & Co., licensed from Pfizer
Mechanism of action: SGLT2 inhibitor
Indication: Type 2 diabetes
Phase III trial(s): Phase III trial listed online on ClinicalTrials.gov, but not yet recruiting patients as of November 4—A study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin monotherapy in the treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control on diet and exercise, based on change in HbA1c after 26 weeks and numbers of participants experiencing adverse events, and discontinuing treatment due to adverse events (NCT 01958671, first received October 7).
Listed as Phase II by both companies in their official pipelines, though the only trial open to patient recruitment as of November 4 was a Phase I study evaluating the effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes and in healthy participants with normal renal function (NCT01948986, last updated October 29). Pfizer lists the compound as one of four diabetes compounds it has in Phase II; the others are PF-04937319 for type 2 diabetes, and two diabetic nephropathy compounds, PF-00489791 and PF-04634817.
When they signed their $60 million-plus worldwide (except Japan) collaboration agreement for development and commercialization of ertugliflozin, the companies agreed to jointly commercialize ertugliflozin and ertugliflozin-containing fixed-dose combinations with metformin and Januvia® (sitagliptin) tablets. Merck and Pfizer also said they expected trials to begin late this year.

A competitive sport in a 3D sandbox indie game called Minecraft. Gameplay consists of removing floor blocks from a stadium to make other players fall through the floor. The last player standing is declared the winner. After the game the floor is filled back in and the players compete again. Spleef is played in a specialized "Spleef Arena" composed of the main Spleef floor, a viewing area, and a lower floor to catch losers. The name is a pun on the word Grief, as the players resemble Griefers trying to make the other players fall through a floor.

By the end of the season/playoffs he was making better decisions with the puck, he carries it well, and doesn't panic in his own end. I actually would have liked to see him get more ice-time last night instead of Smith, but I'm guessing Babcock knows how much he can get out of Kindl before he starts making mistakes.

Mary Donbar celebrated her 103rd birthday Tuesday in Columbiana with relatives. Mary's birthday meal was provided for free by Arby's, her favorite of all the fast food chains. She said the secret to living long is to "live each day as it comes, do the most you can and don't worry a lot." Her genes also play a part, since her father lived to be 92 and her mother lived to 96. Over the years she spent time as a homemaker and part-time sales clerk. The most important part of her life has been her family. Those who celebrated with her on Tuesday were her daughter-in-law Mary Morlan (right), her step-son Ken Donbar and his wife Karen (center) and her granddaughter Susan Morlan.

Keith UrbanFuse/Hit Red/Capitol
Even though Keith Urban scored three No. 1 hits on his last outing, the veteran country star decided to shake up his production team for his new album, "Fuse."
Longtime studio partner Dann Huff still collaborates on a couple of songs, but Urban branches out to duet with young country stars Eric Church and Miranda Lambert and to work with a bevy of hot producers.
Urban joins up with Mike Elizondo, Butch Walker and the Norwegian duo Stargate from the pop world and recruits hot newcomers Nathan Chapman, Zach Crowell and Jay Joyce on the country side.
While Urban wanted to expand his sound, it's to his credit that so many songs bear his distinctive artistic stamp. For example, "Even The Stars Fall 4 U," which is co-produced by Walker, may feature a pumped-up chorus, but it sounds like a natural evolution of Urban's upbeat hits from the last dozen years.
Elsewhere, the "American Idol" judge tackles new sounds, and "Fuse" benefits from how Urban rises to these challenges.
"Shame," co-written and co-produced by Stargate's Tor Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen, takes Urban's confessional lyric and turns it into a heartfelt pop anthem.
On "Love's Poster Child," co-produced by Joyce, Urban embraces the hard-rock edge of young country stars and cranks out an up-tempo tune as fierce as any of the newcomers.
Not everything works. "Good Thing," co-produced by Elizondo, apes too many current country cliches to sound fresh.
Overall, though, "Fuse" shows Urban maintaining his consistency while challenging himself creatively.

Arctic MonkeysAM/Domino
A woozy, psychedelic collection cooked up in the Californian desert, Arctic Monkeys' latest album, "AM," is the sound of Sheffield via San Francisco.
Fans expecting anything approaching the kinetic, snot-punk blast of the English group's highly revered 2006 debut, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," will be disappointed as frontman Alex Turner and cohorts rarely break a sweat as they strut and swagger their way through 12 tasty rock nuggets.
Turner cites Aaliyah and Black Sabbath as album influences and, when the R&B backing vocals of "One for the Road" give way to a punishing guitar solo from Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, a potentially unholy marriage makes perfect sense. Other highlights include the crunching "Arabella" (complete with riff borrowed from Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love"), glam-rock stomp "Snap Out of It" and starlit ballad "Mad Sounds," which is sonically one of the most beautiful songs in the band's impressive canon.
The album's harmonic strengths are occasionally undermined by repetitive, perfunctory lyrics. Turner recounts tales of parties and wild nights with such disinterest that one can't help but wonder why he bothered going out in the first place.
The album's most memorable couplet — "I wanna be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust, I wanna be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust" — from "I Wanna Be Yours" was penned by punk poet John Cooper Clarke.
Despite the lyrical letdown, there's a lot to admire about Arctic Monkeys' fifth album, the band's self-professed "West Coast record." The sunshine obviously suits them.

NEW CUMBERLAND - An ongoing property dispute between the Hancock County commissioners and New Cumberland attorney Lawrence Manypenny is threatening to spill over into the political arena.
Manypenny claims that part of the property on which the Hancock County Magistrate Court sits, including the sidewalk that leads to the entrance, is actually his property. The magistrate court building, 110 S. Court St., New Cumberland, is adjacent to his office, 106 S. Court St. A small lawn separates the two buildings.
Manypenny wants to expand his offices and believes commissioners should compensate him for the use of the land he says is his, according to a letter addressed to commissioners dated Aug. 29.

In a letter to county attorney Bill Fahey dated Nov. 28, Manypenny reiterates his claim of ownership and ups the ante by saying he may take steps to exercise control over the property.
"I have no intention of a newly elected magistrate crossing my property to go up stairs on my property to go to work," Manypenny said, in an apparent reference to outgoing Hancock County sheriff and newly-elected Magistrate Mike White. "I have been fair with the County and that has gotten me nowhere."
Manypenny did not return repeated phone calls seeking comment.
The dispute between the commissioners and the attorney dates back to at least March 2009, when Manypenny's wife, Connie, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of willful disruption of governmental process for putting a locking car tire "boot" on a Weirton police cruiser.
The cruiser had parked in a Manypenny & Carey law firm spot while the officer was taking a prisoner to magistrate court next door. The law firm parking spaces are clearly marked with signs that say "towing/booting enforced," and vehicles parked in the spaces but on magistrate business have been locked by law firm personnel in the past.
Connie Manypenny, who has a non-profit business in her husband's office, was arrested and booked by sheriff's deputies after the incident. The case was set for trial and then languished in the courts until November 2011, when it was dismissed. Manypenny pleaded no contest to a citation for disorderly conduct, agreed to pay court costs and forfeited the boot in lieu of a fine.
White, who takes office as the newest of three magistrates on Jan. 1, 2013, believes the property dispute is at least partly related to Manypenny's wife's arrest.
Regardless, White said he plans to assume his duties as planned. He just completed a week's worth of training for new West Virginia magistrates. "I'm an elected official. I'll be in my office. I'm not going to let this obstruct me," he said.
Commissioner Jeff Davis said he doesn't think Manypenny will actually try to prevent White from going to his office. "It depends on how far Larry would want to push this," he said. "He doesn't want people to walk on that sidewalk."
Last week, commissioners asked Fahey to investigate the property ownership question and come back with a recommendation. Both parties in the dispute say they have surveys on their side.
In his most recent letter, Manypenny cites a survey done by Weirton surveyor Charles Carlisle and one done in 2009 and concludes that the property is his. "It is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt my property line extends virtually to the Magistrate brick building on the East and into the parking lot on the North," he said.
Manypenny said he also reviewed "with a magnifying glass" a survey provided by county commissioners. Davis said another survey may be in order.
"I'm not disputing whether it belongs to Mr. Manypenny or the county," Davis said. "I'll go with the recommendation (of Fahey) as to how the county will react."
In 2003, a report by the West Virginia Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority recommended that the magistrate court building be demolished, the area converted into a parking lot and the offices moved to a new judicial annex.
The study cited a lack of parking spaces as one reason for the proposed demolition.
Manypenny, in his most recent letter, suggests that commissioners have enough money to purchase his square footage "by Dec. 13" since they have a deal pending with the Hancock County school board to buy two high school football stadiums for $400,000. It is unclear what the significance of the date is.
"If not," Manypenny said, "I intend to do what is necessary to protect my interest. ... I am as serious as death. It is now or never!"

Exploring Hydrocarbon Depletion
Moderator: Pops
realistic medium to longterm price
a hectare of forest would bring in much more money if converted into biomass plantations than if it were to be valued merely as a carbon sink
pup55 wrote:realistic medium to longterm price
Welcome Bioman.
If you would care to be more specific about what you mean by "medium" and "long term" we might be able to take a stab at it.
pup55 wrote:a hectare of forest would bring in much more money if converted into biomass plantations than if it were to be valued merely as a carbon sink
These characters have a real potential to double dip: grow palm trees, and sequester at least some of the CO2, while simultaneously producing the palm oil. A serious threat to natural forests if there ever was one.
Well, it would be interesting to have the projected price at the "peak" and then 10 and 20 years later. We need a sufficiently large time horizon, because the plans for avoided deforestation as they're being envisioned today, work with periods of 10, 20 and 30 years time (actually longer, but the controls against the original baseline would be carried out at decadal intervals).
Bioman wrote:Large investments are being made in the bioenergy sector in the developing world. For example Indonesia has set-aside 5 million hectares of land, and the EU is looking into 86 million hectares in Africa and Brazil for the production of biomass feedstocks.
Bioman wrote:With this in mind, a coalition of 13 developing countries has asked the UNFCCC to include a mechanism to protect forests. The idea is called 'compensated reduction' or 'avoided deforestation'.
Bioman wrote:So does anyone know where I can find realistic medium to longterm price projections for oil, preferrably written by Peak Oil advocates?
MrBill wrote:Therefore, price is not the deciding factor. Availability of supply is. The world economy will not grind to a halt because of high prices because they are a net wealth transfer from the users to the producers of oil. However, many industries would quickly collapse if petroleum or a suitable alternatative was not available.
MrBill wrote:I would run any simulations using $60, $120 and $240 per barrel, and assume they are realistic price projections in nominal terms. Keep in mind that Europeans for example already pay the equivalent of $5-6 per gallon of gasoline compared to $2-3 in America and keep driving and their economy running. Therefore, $120 per barrel is just forcing America, for example, to pay what Europeans are already paying. Then with actual shortages, whether they are post peak oil depletion related or due to physical disruptions stemming from a war in the ME and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, those prices become all of a sudden realistic assumptions.
MrBill wrote:However, those are nominal prices. If crude climbs that high then many other prices will also have to increase. There has been a pretty strong correlation between higher oil prices and higher base and precious metal as well as commodity prices. Because it takes energy to produce these commodities as well. Eventually, higher input costs will lead to higher output costs. This cuts both ways driving up the cost of exploration and extraction as well.
MrBill wrote:CO2 emisson prices may also have to increase dramatically from their current paltry levels of around 15-30 euros in Europe as the price of crude increases from $60 to $120 or $240 in nominal terms making coal irresistable as a source of energy. Whether it is in coal to liquids or in whatever form. An increase in coal use will mean more CO2 certs to offset higher emissions. This will make set aside carbon sinks that much more valuable for emerging markets.
MrBill wrote:However, I am interested about something else as well. I know countries like Indonesia and Brazil are keen to get paid as caretakers of these forests, but if and when they are illegally logged or wildfires destroy them, for example, do they then reimburse those monies paid for them as carbon sinks? Compliance must be strict and verifiable to avoid double-dipping (as mentioned above) with regards to dual-use forests. Just curious? Thanks.
These are just two of the many fundamental problems with compensated reduction:
1. the issue of "permanence" and of the risks of natural disasters (wildfires; in the tropics, lightning often causes huge forest fires); against natural disasters, you can get insurance.
But permanence is a problem from an investment point of view; you need to keep the forest intact (or the agreed deforestation rates low) for years and years on end; this requires huge up-front investments in institutional capacity building (monitoring against illegal loggers, investments in new and highly accurate remote sensing, even investments in good governance will be required, etc...) and in compensation (only a mix between paying up front and paying after an agreed period would work).
Not many investors are willing to put up so much money up front; the return is guaranteed but risky and can turn out to be lower than expected (nobody knows how effective investments in capacity building will be; nobody knows where carbon-markets will be in 10 years time).
2. the issue of "carbon-leaking" and of "social leaking"; put simply: if you keep a forest intact, this means communities cannot convert it into agriculture, so you'd have to import/transport fuel, food, fiber, etc... over long distances to these communities; this brings CO2 with it (carbon-leaking); many of this type of side-effects will occur.
Same story with "social leaking": communities might have to be physically moved, some fear, because it will take a long time to actually pay them for not cutting down trees; this can turn out to become a very repressive, even anti-poor type of scheme (they could basically be kicked off their lands or lose their traditional forest-based livelihoods); also, like you say, it's a top-down scheme, and you know what that means in developing countries, especially in Africa; lots of the cash never reaches those who should receive it.
The biofuel option is entirely different, at least in principle. It would be producer-driven, it's bottom-up, and you get the cash instantly. It's also a much more flexible option.
seldom_seen wrote:Bioman wrote:Large investments are being made in the bioenergy sector in the developing world. For example Indonesia has set-aside 5 million hectares of land, and the EU is looking into 86 million hectares in Africa and Brazil for the production of biomass feedstocks.
Indonesia has not 'set-aside' any land. They have been burning the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra to the ground to raise a mono crop of palm. Endangered Orangutans are literally being burnt alive in their rainforest homes. There is no 'set-aside' going on here. This is a wholesale assault on what remains of the lungs of the planet. The smoke from the fires can be seen from space.
seldom_seen wrote:Bioman wrote:With this in mind, a coalition of 13 developing countries has asked the UNFCCC to include a mechanism to protect forests. The idea is called 'compensated reduction' or 'avoided deforestation'.
This is a dumb idea created by someone who spends too much time inside, at a desk. Most of the deforestation in the Amazon is not taking place through any sort of legal framework. Illegal cattle operations are slashing and burning and disappearing. The forest fires in indonesia are mammoth and not controlled or managed.
seldom_seen wrote:Furthermore, the west is not going to pay the developed world to keep their forests intact. Even if they wanted to, they soon won't be able to afford it.
seldom_seen wrote:Bioman wrote:So does anyone know where I can find realistic medium to longterm price projections for oil, preferrably written by Peak Oil advocates?
realistic? you may want to toss some dice, or find a dartboard. We've entered uncharted territory when it comes to oil prices. One thing you can bet on though is volatility.
MrBill wrote:I think any price prediction is completely arbitrary. The world economy has successfully adopted to $15, $30, $45, $60 and even $75 per barrel oil even as global GDP continued to expand by 4-5% p.a. of uninterupted growth.
I beg to differ here. I believe that we only barely scratched the surface concerning what we "adapted to". I would submit to you that official claims and numbers concerning GDP and economic indicators are flawed when it comes to energy costs. Hell, here in the state they dont take into account the price per gallon at the pump.
We are in a grand experiment once we go above right about where we are now. Anything above 60 is going to be detrimental over the long haul. We only touched the mid 70's for a short period, hardly what i would call "adapting". Its obvious that this did put a dent in things and would have caused far worse problems if we hadnt seen the price come down as quickly as it did.
Bioman wrote:We've ran several simulations with a max of $120pb. But we now wanted some "sources", names, just to make sure the report's bibliography shows a diversity of views (Peak Oil authors differ radically from the more conservative estimates of the energy establishment).

South Carolina went 1 for 2 and Clemson missed twice on recruiting targets last week.
USC landed wide receiver Terry Googer of Atlanta on Friday. He picked the Gamecocks over North Carolina, Mississippi, Vanderbilt and Miami.
"It was the perfect fit for me, location-wise and academic-wise, and they are headed in the right place," Googer said. "I knew where I needed to be, so why keep putting it off? I wanted to focus on my senior season, and I wanted to end it the right way."
Googer made several visits to USC and developed a strong relationship with recruiter Lorenzo Ward.
"It feels good," Googer said about joining the Gamecocks. "I'm ready to get down there and make some plays."
Googer plays quarterback for his high school, and last season passed for 1,700 yards and rushed for 900 yards. He's the 13th commitment for USC's 2014 class.
The Gamecocks missed out on defensive back Chris Lammons of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., when he committed to Florida.
Defensive end Rick Leonard of Middletown, Md., committed to Florida State over Clemson. This was a come-from-behind victory for the Seminoles. Clemson was the clear leader after Leonard attended camp this summer. His teammate, offensive lineman Justin Falcinelli, committed to Clemson soon after the camp. But Leonard has family ties to Florida State, and after he visited there July 14, things began to swing in favor of the Seminoles.
And wide receiver Trey Quinn of Lake Charles, La., decided to stay home and play for LSU after giving Clemson a very hard look.
In other recruiting news:
Linebacker Marcus Moody of Bamberg-Ehrhardt committed to Presbyterian. Last season, he had 118 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 interceptions and caused 10 fumbles. He was named all-region and all-state last season.
Defensive lineman Terrell Bush of Tuscaloosa, Ala., visited Furman earlier this month and committed to the Paladins. He also has offers from Appalachian State, Murray State, Jacksonville State and South Alabama.
Running back Derrell Scott of Havelock, N.C., will announce his college decision on his birthday, Oct. 25. Scott is down to USC, N.C. State, Florida State and Ohio State. Last month, Scott said the Gamecocks and Seminoles were the clear top two, but in recent weeks the Wolfpack have made a move. Scott visited N.C. State a couple of weeks ago and that visit helped the Wolfpack's positioning. He also visited USC this summer for a camp and brought his parents along. Scott has made multiple visits to USC over the last two seasons.
Defensive lineman Dexter Wideman of Saluda committed to Florida State in July, but he later attended a camp at USC and that has led to speculation that the Gamecocks are still alive for him. But Saluda coach Doug Painter feels, at least right now, that Wideman has settled on the Seminoles.
"He's kind of relieved to get a decision made and feels good about it," Painter said. "He really likes the coaches there. I think he wanted to go a little farther away from home. It's possible the door is open for USC, but Dexter hasn't told me that."
Woodruff wide receiver Blake Bone said Sunday he'll make his announcement within two weeks. He is down to USC, Kentucky, Auburn, Louisville and Mississippi.
Defensive back Nick Glass of Atlanta, who had been committed to Georgia since April 2012, announced on Twitter last week that he has backed off of that commitment and plans to focus on his academics and his senior season. Clemson and USC were actively recruiting him prior to his commitment.
Defensive end Dante Sawyer of Suwanee, Ga., is working on his decision and hopes to have one within the next two weeks. Sawyer is down to USC, Tennessee, Auburn and Georgia. He is not claiming a favorite. Sawyer has not yet visited USC. He would like to make a visit before his decision, but if he's not able to, he still wants to make his call within the next two weeks.
Linebacker Raekwon McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., has set up his five official visits for the fall. He's got Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama and Florida, in that order.
Clemson signee Kyrin Priester, a wide receiver, did not get through the NCAA Clearinghouse and will enroll at Fork Union Prep, Va., this fall. He hopes to enroll at Clemson in January.
Junior quarterback Torrance Gibson of Plantation, Fla., has received several early offers, including Clemson, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Miami, Florida State, Alabama, West Virginia, South Florida, Boston College and Nebraska. Gibson only attended a camp at Miami this summer so he does not have any favorites.
Defensive lineman Albert Huggins of Orangeburg-Wilkinson is one of the state's top junior prospects with a dozen offers already on the table. Auburn was the most recent. Earlier offers came from USC, Clemson, Florida State, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisville, Georgia, N.C. State, North Carolina and S.C. State.
Junior offensive lineman George Brown of Cincinnati plans to make an unofficial visit to Clemson for a game on Sept. 28. He also plans to go to games at Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Auburn and Vanderbilt.

The person who implements this action usually tries to justify it by blaming it on witnessing past domestic violence within the family. Chris Browning most commonly occurs in urban areas and trailer parks, but is not limited to these areas.

An urban game that is similar to baseball or cricket that was popular among African Americans in Virginia's (Jackson Ward/Gilpin Court)area during the 60's and 70's. It is considered a baseball/stickball game played on the streets or in vacant lots. The game consisted of a pitcher, hitter and a back catcher and a lot of outfielders(as many as you can handle).Under hand pitching was allowed. After a succesful hit, the outfielder must retrieve the ball and advance toward the hitter at home plate. As soon as the bat touches the ground, the outfielder had to throw or roll the ball towards the bat. The ball must make contact with the bat/stick. If the ball is caught by the outfielder with out touching the ground then it is automatically your choice of hitting, pitching or back catching. The pitcher and the backcatcher often rotate if the pitcher strikes out the bat.

Many variations can be made on the same principle. Here the yolks are seasoned with garlic and parsley, but bits of leftovers such as shellfish, meat, fish, or vegetables like spinach or mushrooms can be mixed with the yolks for different flavors.

so this is for treaty, i was thinking, what is the best card (or set of related cards) for every civ in treaty, i just did a the euro civs, maybe will do expansion packs depending on how much flame this gets. feel free to agree, disagree, or flame. lol
British- Gotta be the cow cards, their cow boom is insane
French- the cheape/insta gendrame card. OP OP OP OP (or if on andes, probably all the natives cards, theyre insane)
Germans- the card that makes them train settler wagons from mills.
Spanish- not really sure i don't play them much, but i gotta say probably missionary aura? everyone says they suck without it
Russia- instant infantry cards
Portugal- portugal doesn't really have one amazing card, so this is a tossup, i'm going to go with all the gunpowder infantry cards since a good cass/musk combo is epic.
Dutch- Tulip Speculation/more bank cards (dutch drain so fast without all the extra banks from cards/advanced church)
Ottomans- this ones hard, since i never play ottos in treaty. but i think battlefield construction. i mean its so easy to take map control with jannisaries building stuff all over the place
ozn:I guess the only way Brit can beat German is they have Americans helping them.
chimpsmith: Most horse units are cavalry
Spanish - Missionary Aura
Ports - Range finding
Ottomans - this is hard to say, Battle field construction cant be exploited to its full potential without wood trade. Either its that or Artillery cards.
France - fur trade would def be better than gend card.
dutch/ger/british/russia are pretty obvious
Aztec: erk range
Sioux: teepee cards
Iro: fur trade
Japan - diamos cards
india - fur trade or lesser pop elephants
china: Old han reforms or age 3 train card. (i might get flamed for that)
British- cow cards
French- the cheape/insta gendrame card.
Spanish- missionary aura, ofc
Russia- instant infantry cards, ofc
Portugal- long range mortar... for sure. Its the biggest advantage of port.
Dutch- church card and 4 era bank %
Ottomans- battlefield construction. Oto without furtrade u still can build if have wood... but if u trade and cant build with janis, its useless.
India - battlefield construction... same reason of oto
japan - daimio
china - han reform
iro- furtrade
sioux - tent aura
astec - team wood card
French is obviously the fur trade card, which far outweighs being able to train gendarmes faster and cheaper.
Ports is the mortar card that allows them to fire about half the damn map
The spanish missionary aura is a good one but i think its on tie with increasing multiplier of lancers against inf.
For Russia I know this will sound stupid, but I reckon being able to build forts everywhere is just as good. Having map domination is better than being able to spam out units. Less experienced players(lvl 20 or under), seem to often spam out all of one unit in an attempt to save a blockhouse or fort, making it easy to counter. Also when before when not paying enough attention I have filled my pop training units from one blockhouse by not watching my pop counter while training the units.
Since this is in the General Section i will post the sup version
British- vils make manor card
French- the cheaper and faster cuirs card
Germans- Personally i like 6SW
Spanish- missionary aura
Russia- Church card
Portugal- Goon range
Dutch- Church card
Ottomans- team 4 spahi
India - 10urimi
japan - Shogun
china - old han reform
iro- 4kanya
sioux - team 2 dogs? idk dont play sioux much
aztec - team 3 vils
All civs that have 3 vills: 3 vills
no flame? lol well i guess i'll do expansion packs for treaty
Iroqouis- cow boom or fur trade. actually both, thats an op combo
sioux- my sioux treaty deck is literally called why are you noobashing? lol sioux are irrelevant in treaty. but if i had to pick i guess i'd say the all the tepee cards, tepee+warchief aura is amazing
aztec probably all their unique farm/plantation gathering cards, i think i have seen that aztecs have best farm gather rate of all civs? is that true?
japan - shogun tokoguwa. sneak him into enemies base train 10 mortars receive 15 ronin. gg
china - china has good cow boom as well. very convenient also since they can just use their houses.
india. i flat out suck with india, but i'll take a guess. i'm going to say their set of elephant cards. because elephants are almost unusable without the pop card
kittychix:If you know your behaviour or language is going to result in a ban, and continue with the actions anyway...you are heading in a direction of less then temporary action.
dcdonnie4:The more costeffective army can win vs a more expensive (better unit) because they can just keep throwing them at the other player.

When appropriate the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond uses Rand McNally Areas (RMAs) when defining banking markets. RMAs are metropolitan areas defined by Rand McNally and are located in its Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide. Since the RMAs are continuously being revised and updated by Rand McNally, these areas should be verified using the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide.
When a county returns more than one banking market definition, this county has been split by an RMA and portions of the county are present in both banking market definitions.
All counties in West Virigina, except Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, Ohio, Tyler and Wetzel, are within the Fifth District and the banking markets are defined by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, Ohio, Tyler and Wetzel are located in the Fourth Distric and the banking markets are maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

Many aspects affect which symptoms an individual will develop when she's detoxing from alcohol, like the person's alcohol intake history. Some individuals today give up alcohol to discard excess weight, others as a result of issues above their liver.
There's also the fact that one may grow to be not just physically related to alcohol however in addition psychologically reliant. This is the factor when folks consume alcohol they're going to feel calm, relaxed, or sleepy. It's a tested however, there groups are somewhat more vulnerable to alcohol abuse. If somebody is an alcoholic, it isn't really simple to quit drinking right away.
Home-based detoxification is far less typical in other areas of the world.
Alcohol detox is truly not a treatment for alcoholism. It can trigger anxiety on its own. Sudden withdrawal from alcohol may be deadly.
They rebound, resulting in a phenomenon referred to as brain hyperexcitability. The individual might get so dependent they can not live without alcohol, and trying to detoxing could be unsafe to their own entire body. Chronic use of alcohol results in changes in brain chemistry particularly in the GABAergic system. In this manner, alcohol might be weaned from the system in a controlled manner to be able to prevent more hazardous withdrawal unwanted effects.
In medication, detoxing from alcohol can be accomplished by decontamination of poison intake and using antidotes and strategies for example dialysis and (in a guaranteed range of cases) chelation treatment. If you're a severe alcoholic, you may require medical attention to have the ability to detox. In the further can boost the total the overall health.
At these times, alcoholics don't require intellectual approaches to minimize relapse, considering that they simply won't work. Alcohol withdrawal is induced by neurotransmitter rebound. Alcoholics are routinely deficient in a variety of nutrients which might trigger serious complications during alcohol withdrawal such as development of Wernicke syndrome.
It is, therefore, important to avoid alcohol for recovery high blood pressure. Alcohol bloating can lead to decreased attractiveness in physical general look and may also lead to the advancement of different other health conditions and conditions.

UPPER SANDUSKY - There is something to be said for enjoying the moment. But the longer the closing moment of Upper Sandusky's 59-46 win over Wynford got here Tuesday, the less enjoyable it became.
In what was set as a showdown for the Black Division championship of the North Central Conference, the Rams were especially dominant for much of the second half.
In fact, when Allison Snyder turned a steal into a layup for a 5-0 Ram start to the fourth quarter, it gave the host club its biggest lead of the night at 49-28 with 4:42 to go.
Article Photos
But the Royals threw up a mini-scare in the most efficient way by hitting 12-of-16 from the foul line and a couple 3-pointers.
The stopped-clock scoring was one thing, but there was also a Ram possession in which the scoreboard operator failed to start the clock. It stayed at 56 seconds until Taylor Graboski drew a foul. Her two foul shots closed the scoring and the Rams were eventually able to run out the clock.
"We called a timeout and told them to move your feet, contest the 3's and don't put them on the line," Ram coach Brent Fahle said. "Sometimes, uh, it happens."

And the operator error?
"I looked up at the clock and no time went off," he said with a half-smile. "You'd think we'd get a home-court advantage somehow. No harm, no foul, I guess."
The win virtually seals the division championship for Upper Sandusky, which improved to 15-3 overall and 10-0 in the conference. Wynford, the closest challenger, fell to 13-6 and 8-2.
"It gives us a little bit of a cushion," said Fahle, unwilling to claim anything more. "We were only up one game and we needed a championship effort. I thought this was a great team win.
"It gives us a cushion, up two with three games to go," he said. "It's a good feeling, but there is still a long way to go."
It was a championship battle for 11 minutes. The game was tied three times and the lead changed hands 11 times in that span.
Paige Brady's inside basket gave Wynford the edge at 20-19 with 5:21 to go. But Allison Snyder hit a 15-footer at the other end to regain the lead for good for Upper Sandusky.
Graboski scored on a drive and Savannah Piecha got a breakaway three-point play as the Rams eased into a 28-20 halftime edge.
The Royals were saddled with 15 turnovers at that point and they got three more in their first five possessions of the second half. They finished with 28 for the game.
"We knew if we turned the ball over we weren't going to have a chance to win," Wynford coach Amy Taylor-Sheldon said. "If we don't have opportunities to shoot, it's kind of tough to win. You have to give their defense credit. They forced us into making bad decisions with the ball."
Wynford was limited to eight points through the third period and three-plus minutes of the fourth.
At the other end, the Rams were putting together a balanced inside-outside attack. Jorden Born had 17 points and nine rebounds while Graboski was adding 12 points and 12 boards for the inside punch, Snyder added 12 points and Amber Cox contributed nine.
"People key on Graboski because she's one of the better players in the league," Fahle said. "I thought Allison Snyder hit some big shots and Jorden Born played a whale of a game. She was probably a key to our getting the victory."
Brady topped Wynford with 19 points and eight rebounds. But from there, the scoring dropped all the way down to seven points by Ellie Richmond.
Upper Sandusky out-goaled the Royals by five and the Rams hit 20-of-28 from the foul line. That latter success was significant in Taylor-Sheldon's eyes.
"They shot 10 percent better tonight than they typically do at the foul line," she said. "They typically shoot in the lower 60s but tonight they shot in the 70s.
"It was a disappointing loss because we felt like we had given ourselves a chance to win a North Central Conference championship game," she said. "But they played better than we did tonight."
