Balancing act
Saints and Colts players find a way to balance work time with some play time for which Miami is notorious.
Saints and Colts players this week are navigating the delicate balance of preparing for Sunday's game but still enjoying South Florida's nightlife.
"As you get older, it's not as difficult," Colts running back Joseph Addai said from Alonzo Mourning's King Pin Classic charity event Tuesday night at Lucky Strike Lanes. "You get used to it."
Among the Super Bowl player sightings this week: Saints quarterback Drew Brees treated his offensive linemen to dinner at Prime Italian on South Beach, and Saints safety Darren Sharper took the team's other defensive backs to dinner at the same restaurant.
When "Jared" from the Subway ads came into the restaurant, several Saints linemen erupted and started chanting his name.
Meanwhile, several Colts dined at Prime 112 on South Beach, including cornerback Marlin Jackson.
And former Steelers great Franco Harris bought Cristal champagne for Saints and Colts players at the restaurants. Classy move.

|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
"Aye, and yae ken that the innkeeper has a memory like a sieve! I'm cauld Jorr, and I dannae live here and I didnae compete in anie Tourn'ment of Heroes. I am a grumpy auld hermit and goblin slayer, thank yae much, and I usetae live just north a Drellin's Ferry, until some worg riders came an slayed mae dugs! Now I'm here fer revenge!"
|Mutamba Nugutu
"I have not yet had the pleasure, Kellin." Turning to the group he says with a slight nod, "I am pleased to be in the acquaintance of such accomplished individuals. I am Mutamba Nugutu, a follower of Irori and seeker of knowledge. Where I am from is a farther than one might believe possible, sir. What it is that brings you to this village is what I am most interested. I overheard you say something of evacutation of the hamlet. Why would this be?"
|Tirion Jörðhár
Looking over at the rather out of place appearing visitor. Nice to meet you Master Nugutu, watch out for the dwarf, he is picky about that bushy thing residing where his chin should be.
Ninjaed twice.
Oh, yeh an evacuation. Really unnecessary unless you do not want to end up in the stewpot of a giant. Me personally, I have this little quirk that I rather enjoy having all four of my limbs connected to my body.
|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
"I overheard you say something of evacutation of the hamlet. Why would this be?"
"Aye, its a' tae be a big secret! A horde of nearly three thousand beasites is anie a few days awa frae here, and they dannae wannae cause tae much panic in thae streets. If yae gae oot tae the common at noon, they're plannin tae tell yae aw' the cheery news. Mind yae, if yae wannae hear the nitty gritty, yae've come tae the richt place. All yae hae tae dae is ask the gnome. He has already tauld the story aboot three times last nicht, and I ken he wants tae tell it again!"
|Thordak son of Throtgar
|Durgin Fortkeep
|Tirion Jörðhár
|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
|Mantooth Longbrow
Mantooth breaks his string of silence when he sees Durgin and greets the farmer "Ah, Durgin, it is good to see you again? How have you been since we last saw one another in Brindol?" Mantooth says, extending a hand towards the man to shake.
"What?!" Durgin replies with utter surprise. "How did you ye find out! I mean, h . . .h . . .how did you d . . .d . . .discover this? W . . .w . . .we knew there w. . .w. . . were g . . .g. . . goblins and all. B . . B. . . But an a . . .a . . .army?!"
Raising an eyebrow at Durgin's speech clarity, Mantooth presses him a little "Indeed, the threat is as Tirion and Thordak say - there are quite a lot of hobgoblins and other monstrosities up there that will be heading this way. Had you had dealings with them before, Durgin?"
Sense Motive 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
When Mutamba introduces himself to the party via Kellin, Mantooth returns the nod and introduces himself. "A pleasure to meet you, Master Nugutu. My name is Mantooth Longbrow and I am a paladin of the Herald Iomedae."
|Mutamba Nugutu
Raising a hand and waving off the use of master before his name as he replies to Mantooth, Mutamba says, "Mr. Kellin makes far too much of my aid to this community. Master is something I am not, hahaha. A fine god you are following goot knight. I have met some of your kind in my travels, but alas far too few in my previous home."
|Durgin Fortkeep
"Had you had dealings with them before, Durgin?"
"N . . .N . . . No, I haven't s. . . s . . . seen any at, at the f . . f .. . farm. B . . .b. . . but they k . . .k . . .k killed a neighbor' sh . . .sh . . . cow before. I th . . .th . . .think it was a g. . . .g . . . goblin!"
|Thordak son of Throtgar
Well wot did it look like, Durgin? Oi thought tha whole reason we came out here in tha firs' place was te protect tha town from goblins--we jus' didn't know there was an army... Thordak says, trying to recall what Jarmaath originally said.
|Durgin Fortkeep
|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
|Thordak son of Throtgar
|Mutamba Nugutu
Taking all this in, Nugutu says"So what do you propose we are to do? A horde of that size will not be defeated by a group such as your's or these townfolk. I doubt they would out pace the attackers either. The ground covered by normal folk would be easily tracked and they will be consumed in the process."
|Matthias Teskerwell
"That's the big question that the town council has to decide. To run or to stay and fight the horde. For me the decision seems clear enough, but then again, I do not live here and have no attachments to this town. However, I suppose if I were in Brindol, I would make the argument to fight until the very end. However, Brindol at least has walls surrounding the city! This place does not look easily defended."
|Tirion Jörðhár
Not to be pessimistic, but my choice would be scorched earth policy. Leave nothing behind that the enemy can use. If we leave food, they will eat it. If we leave homes, they will have clean dry places to sleep and most likely will use the wood to craft siege weapons and the stones as ammunition for the siege engines and the giants.
If we can get people packed today and ready to leave tomorrow morning, they should be able to stay ahead of the horde. Also, someone should probably head back to Brindol and the towns in between so that they also are warned. Whatever happens, there is going to be a lot of death and destruction, I just hope that most of the deaths are those in the horde, not those being attacked by the horde.
|Matthias Teskerwell
"Your reasoning sounds good, Tirion. If nothing else, maybe you can simply slow down their advance."
Matthias pauses for a moment as if what he is about to say is clearly very difficult for him.
"I have been thinking a great deal, my friends, and I don't know how to say this, but I will try anyway. . . . I need to return to Brindol. If this horde is indeed coming, Lord Jarmaath needs to be informed. I am clearly the fastest one to do it. Furthermore, I need to inform my family and help with whatever preparations need to be made. The last words spoken with my father were in anger, and I need to make amends before anything tragic happens. From what it indicates on Wyrmlord Koth's map, the Red Hand could arrive in Brindol within a few weeks, and Brindol will need to stand ready to resist the onslaught. People in all of the towns east of here and throughout the Elsir Vale need to be warned, and Brindol will become their refuge. I feel terrible at the idea of leaving all of you, but as a priest of the healing Dawnflower, I feel my place needs to be with my people, back in Brindol."
Matthias stops and waits to judge your reactions.
|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
"If we leave food, they will eat it. If we leave homes, they will have clean dry places to sleep"
"Aye, that's a bonnie thought! I'd jist like tae see a big auld minotaur strollin intae the Auld Bridge and askin, 'May I ha' a room tae stay in and a wee cup o tea tae boot?' Harhar! I'd love tae see wit they dae with the lovely flowers by the bedside. 'Hmm? They left me a wee snack by the bed!! I must remember tae come back 'ere."
|Thordak son of Throtgar
Aye, Matt, ye should probably get goin'. Don't wait fer tha meetin'. Oi 've been thinkin' moiself, an' Oi think Oi'll head fer tha Hammerfist Holds an' see what support we can get from tha other Dwarves.
|Mutamba Nugutu
"What is it with gnomes and fi'a? I once met one of your kind while traveling that had a head of orange hair and bronze skin. Dat little bugger could barely help 'imself. I will help with what I can. These people will be needin' it. When I escaped from da clutches of them devil worshipers it was only do to the kindness of man whoknew the path of the great lord Irori. I can only seek to do da same here."
|Thordak son of Throtgar
|Matthias Teskerwell
"Aye, Matt, ye should probably get goin'. Don't wait fer tha meetin'.
"I'll finish my breakfast and depart after I get packed up, but try not to sound so cheerful about it! You're not getting rid of me that easily. You will be seeing me in Brindol by month's end, and I better be seeing you with a whole lot of dwarves comin down out of those hill to support us!"
"But seriously, take care of yourself, Thordak, and if you ever get into trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help from the Dawnflower. I will say a good word on your behalf in my prayers."
|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
"Oi 've been thinkin' moiself, an' Oi think Oi'll head fer tha Hammerfist Holds an'see what support we can get from tha other Dwarves."
"Aye, first we get rid o' the preacher and next, we get rid of the dwarf. This is richt generous of yae tae leave all the hobbies fer me tae take care of!" Turning to Thordak in a low whisper he says, "But seriously, I dannae mind losin the Dawnflower child, but we cauld really use yae here fer the defense of Drellin's Ferry. If yae need tae leave after the horde taks the toon, then we can come wid yae. Mae charmin ways are shure to persuade the dwarves tae come and fight wid us. Besides, if yae get intae trouble, yae could always use a wild man wid a longbow tae watch yer back! Eh?"
|Thordak son of Throtgar
Nae, lad, Oi never meant it like that! Like ye said though, Oi'm worried! Did ye see that big red bastard of a dragon? Lulu an' me would'a been toast if we hadn't a dodged behind that tree...Anyway, Oi'm not much fer good-buys. An' Oi hate te say it, but there's a good chance we might all die protectin' tha vale...Tha's all. So Oi wish ye well, an' Oi hope Sarenrae leads ye to many a fine cage indeed! Thordak says, taking his hand.
Fight well, Matthias. he says, nodding.
Turning to Jorr, he replies. Now Oi thought we were burnin' Drellin's Ferry an' pickin' tha horde off one by one till it got to Brindol...Wasn't that tha plan?
|Jorr "Goblinbane" Natherson
"Now Oi thought we were burnin' Drellin's Ferry an' pickin' tha horde off one by one till it got to Brindol...Wasn't that tha plan?
Dannae ask me! I dannae ken wha's in charge of this band! I'm just follow along daein mae part tae stay alive and kill a few hobbies along the way. Mind yae, if yae wanntae burn the place, yae mae wanttae share the idea at the up and comin meetin. I'm sure the council and the toon will give yae tons a' support fer that idea! Just dannae forget thae marshymallows when yae dae it!"
|Durgin Fortkeep
|Tirion Jörðhár
Tirion almost chokes on his pancakes as Jorr and Thor attempt to communicate using completely unrelated languages.
I think that Thordak would like to round up the Hammerfist Holds' dwarves. Matthais is planning on riding like the wind to warn the rest of the Vale. And Jorr here thinks that with his bow he can slow down three thousand hobgoblins, ogres, works, giants and dragons.
And I do not want to burn down the town. I want to make sure that if, or when, the horde arrives here, there is nothing left for them to use. Good way to defeat an invading army is to make sure that there are no supplies for them to use. A starving army is much less effective.
|Matthias Teskerwell
|Tirion Jörðhár
|Matthias Teskerwell
"Well go ahead, and start drawing, for I should indeed be leaving shortly. Also, perhaps I should take some of the documents you recovered from the command tent. What was it that you found there, a roster of creatures and a letter from the High Wyrmlord?"
|Durgin Fortkeep
|Tirion Jörðhár
|Mutamba Nugutu
|Tirion Jörðhár
Well, I would not consider it something that a good people would do, but we could leave a certain amount of food and drink behind. Grain and alcohol. But poison the stores so that part of the horde will be disabled, and possibly even killed. If we can kill even one with injury to ourselves, I would consider that a bonus.
|Matthias Teskerwell
"Well my friends, I confess that I have grown close of all of you in the short time we have been together. That tournament back in Brindol seems so long ago, but since then, we have been through so much. Well, I am not very good with long goodbyes. Besides, there is not much time to waste, so I will keep my comments brief."
"Durgin, it was nice seeing you again. Take care of yourself, and good luck with everything."
"Mutamba Nugutu, I wish you luck in your travels. I have only just met you, but I assure you, what you are about to experience is not part of the normal experience of any of us here. Be well, and may you have a safe journey, wherever that may take you."
"Jorr, I know that you were never comfortable around a man of the cloth, but I want you to know that I appreciate everything you've done for this group. Take care, always."
"Bofus, thank you for everything you've done. I appreciate the fact that you never filched anything from me, even though you could have taken my clothes off of my back without me even realizing it. Take care Master Thief!"
"Tirion, I have gotten to know you over the last few weeks, and you are a good friend. Despite your black dragon heritage, I know there is much good within you. I am pleased to see you use your gifts to the benefit of the entire vale! Please be careful around the dragons, I am not sure how they are going to feel about you, now that you have caused so much trouble for the Red Hand. Be safe from harm, my friend."
"Thordak, what can I say to you? You have become a great friend to me, and I will miss you greatly. Take care of yourself and that fine hippogriff of yours. May your axe never dull and may you Torag always watch over you. Until next time, my friend!"
"Mantooth. You are the protector of these this group. I trust that you will watch over and keep them all from harm. This is no easy task, considering the great evil upon our doorstep. However, I know you will trust to the Inheritor and the Dawnflower. They will guide you in all things, and lead you to victory and the heart!"
Matthias gives you each an embrace one by one and then he turns and says a prayer to you all.
"Healing Dawnflower, take care of my friends and guide them along the paths that you would have them take. May they work to serve your will and smite down the evil that would destroy all that you hold dear. May their going in and coming out be in accord with all that you would have them do. Guide us all that we may be reunited in happier times where we may celebrate the coming of the light! I ask this in your name. Amen!"
Matthias safely secures the map and documents of the Red Hand into his saddle bag for a safe delivery to Lord Jarmaath. He then mounts Prince 'Humphrey' Kazoun and spurs the great steed onward. The horse flies like the wind out of Drellin's Ferry and the priest is gone!
|Mutamba Nugutu
|Thordak son of Throtgar
Hey Durgin, Oi been meanin' te ask ye 'bout somethin... Lord Jarmaath had some candles in his room, big black ones--said you gave 'em to him. They looked pretty nice! Where'd ye get those, anyway? Oi was thinkin' Oi might get a couple in case Oi wanna work on some crossbow designin' after dark.

|Bofus Beerswizzler
I apologize for my light posting. Work just keeps getting crazier!! It's actually painful . . . have to cover several topics here.
@ Mutamba: Hi there, Mutamba. Bofus Beerswizzler, pleeztameecha. I'm sure we'll take all the help we can get!!
@ Durgin: Sure, I've got copies of everything. Take a look--just don't spill anything on them, OK? ;-)
@ Matthias: I'm sorry to see you go, my friend--but we *do* need to warn jarmaath, and the more time he has to prepare the better. I have a feeling that we'll need that Cure Light Wounds wand, and that Staff of Life, more than you will--may we keep those?? I'm pretty good at using the magic stuff, I'll look after these blokes!! Good luck, friend.
@Everyone: So, let's think ahead a little here. Are we best used here at Drellin's Ferry, or elsewhere--"hunting the head" as they say? Should we think about going after one of the other Wyrmlords, and trust to the leaders of the land to defend themselves?
|Tirion Jörðhár
As Bofus speaks, you can see a glint in Tirion's eyes.
Wyrmlord hunting sounds like a great idea. We just need to make sure that everyone, including Lord Jaarmath know that if the forest giants show up, they are our allies and we should do everything we can to gain their assistance. Having those guys helping us by tossing boulders back at the ogres and ettins in the horde will be invaluable.
I wonder whether we could also harass the horde coming this way. Say start a forest fire or knock trees down on the dawn way. I do not think that trees would slow them much with the giants they have, but fire would be quite effective. Also, if we could take out that general, it would be divine. However, I think that would be tough with those dragon spawn he has guarding him.
|Norro Wiston
• Sunday, Rova 30, 4710, One Hour before Noon •
Norro Wiston enters the Old Bridge Inn followed by Captain Soranna, Delora Zann, and a sour faced man named Iormel, who is evidently a person of some property. Along with Kellin, who owns the Old Bridge Inn, these people comprise the Town Council.
Speaker Wiston greets all of you curtly while he begins pulling tables together to form one big table. "You are welcome to stay. In fact, you input is most welcome. However, the town council must make the decision, and that should be made within the hour!"
Once the room is set, Speaker Wiston hammers a gavel down on the table and the room is silent.
"You know why we are here!" He begins without preamble. "In a matter of days, we are going to have an army of goblins, hobgoblins, and monsters on our doorsteps. What do we do? Fight? Try to talk to them? Abandon the town and flee? Or do nothing and hope to the Inheritor that they don't come this way!"
|Kellin Shadowbanks
|Norro Wiston
|Tirion Jörðhár
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
I apologize for the interruption, but before you all decide on a course of action, I want to make sure that all of you understand a few things:
First, this is the map we found with Wyrmlord Koth in the Vraath Keep. This is not the map of disorganized rabble. It is a full scale attack plan, and it goes right up to a siege of Brindol. As for Drellin's Ferry - they actually appear to consider being able to use the dwarf bridge which I imagine means giants laying logs across the old piers.
Next is the documents that my friend Bofus acquired from Wyrmlord Kharn's tent. This is not rabble, it is at least 3000 strong with dragons, giants, ogres and Iomedae only know what other horrors. In addition, this document discusses possible undead forces - they don't care about treasure and food, just killing.
You all are free to stay here, but I have been in their camp - this horde is organized under the banner of the Queen of Dragons, Tiamat - one of the evilest and cruelest deities this land has ever know. If I were you, I would gather everything I could put on a wagon and flee as fast as possible to the hopeful safety of the walls of Brindol. And tell everyone along the way of what is coming.
And finally, we destroyed the bridge over the gorge and killed at least one giant, one minotaur and numerous goblins and hobgoblins in the process, we also killed a huge green dragon at the bridge. We have given you several days extra time, but that will end soon.
Tirion pauses for a moment: And, finally, on an economic note. Since the bridge is out, the trade through this area will be greatly decreased, I apologize for this, but it was imperative that it be done. Even if you do manage to pay off the horde and save your town, you will have an army between you and Brindol, and no bridge the other way. How will you all survive and make a livelihood?
Please, I know it is a hard decision to make, but I implore you, pack your belongings, saddle your horses, gather your families, and flee to Brindol. And anything that you cannot carry, either burn or if it is food, poison it. You are facing a horror such as has never been seen here before. Make the wise choice and save yourselves so that if . . . I mean when . . . this horde is defeated and scattered, you will be able to return and rebuild. If you stay and die, Drellin's Ferry dies with you. If you flee and survive, then Drellin's Ferry survives.
|Thordak son of Throtgar
Thordak sits with his legs crossed, slowly rasping a whetstone across the blade of Glimdraath. Lads, these are goblins we're talkin' about here. They're not after treasure. This- he says, holding up his axe --is how to deal with 'em. But this only goes so far, an there are so many. Oi think if ye wanna live, we're goin' te have to abandon tha town. Now Oi hope to Torag Oi didn't knock down tha Skull Gorge Bridge te watch you surrender an' get executed. he says, raising his eyebrows at the newcomers.
Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Any response from Durgin?
"How do I know you aren't just lying, so you can get rid of us and stay here to plunder the town?! How do we know those papers aren't simply forged! I know your sort. Look at the greedy dwarf sittin there sharpening his axe, and that sly little halfling!! They even brought their own Mwangi slave with them! And that dark imp of a creature! I don't even know what kind of race he is, but I'm certain they have plans to see us leave alright! The story of a horde is a fine little ruse to get wealthy! A horde for a hoard! Shame on you for using a few goblin raids to instill fear in the rest of us! Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I am not going to tolerate this sort of banditry in my town. Captain Soranna, you should be doing a better job than to let this rabble run the town! Tell me Captain, and Speaker Wiston, have either of you actually even seen this so called horde? Of course the answer is no!!!"
|Durgin Fortkeep
Retcon with Durgin
Sorry I missed that, Thordak!
"Hey Durgin, Oi been meanin' te ask ye 'bout somethin... Lord Jarmaath had some candles in his room, big black ones--said you gave 'em to him. They looked pretty nice! Where'd ye get those, anyway? Oi was thinkin' Oi might get a couple in case Oi wanna work on some crossbow designin' after dark."

Sighing - The choice it yours. I imagine the we will be out of this town long before you have packed to leave. Thordak - show them the scales you pried from that green wyrm at the bottom of the gorge. Oh, and talk to the paladin. He will reaffirm what I have just said, and we all know that paladins cannot lie. At present, this is turning into politics. Politics will get you all killed. I will await my companions outside. The rest of you can debate until you are blue in the face and the evacuation of the town until it is too late.
I reach into my pocked and pull out what little coinage I have:
If it is just money you are worried about, here is all that I have in my pocket, I am sorry that I am not richer. Perhaps it will buy you a quick death by the sword rather than being slowly ripped apart or cooked alive.
I smash the 4 pp and 12 gp I have down on the table and walk out of the inn.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 <-- they should be so scared that they have wet their pants, voted to abandon the town, and begun packing before I even finish my speech.
Don't forget, I have a 27 diplomacy on the previous post as well.
I then wait outside for the rest of the group.

Main Forums > Living With HIV
Are most polls started just to use the poll function?
(1/2) > >>
Hey, I like the poll function and totally plan to use it in the future when I need advice from a post; like "should I, or shouldn't I"... I think it's just gotten a bad wrap... well, that and having polls with ridiculous choices (see above).
:)I cannot imagine a situation, other than voting on the simplest of issues, where it would be the best of all possible worlds to utilize the poll feature. I mean, this is a discussion board, yes? Where we can, you know, talk about stuff beyond a simple yes or no.
JR Gabbard:
BUSTED!!! ;D But seriously, I thought it would be the best format for the thread I started yesterday. I still think that today. It did seem to generate some controversy, but I like controversy, don't cha know.....J.R.
Sometimes people's answers from a discussion dance around an issue so much that you cannot pin-point what they really think. At least a binary yes or no gives the answer in short... then followed by discussion if they so choose.

Globalization to resume in 2010 after temporary blip
Davos, 29 January 2010 – A report released today by EY in cooperation with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) highlights how globalization slowed during the financial crisis and the subsequent downturn. But as the economy recovers in 2010 the growth of globalization will once again resume, although at a slower pace than in the past decade, the report predicts.
Redrawing the map: globalization and the changing world of business draws on three sources of original research: a Globalization Index, created by the EIU, that measures 60 countries according to their degree of globalization relative to their GDP; an online survey of 520 senior business executives worldwide, conducted in late 2009; and a program of in-depth interviews with 30 senior executives and high-level experts.
The Globalization Index, which runs from 1995 to 2013, gives an overview of how the drivers of globalization have evolved and will continue to develop. The index has five criteria: openness to trade, capital movements, exchange of technology and ideas, labor movements and cultural integration. Each of the criteria's weighting was validated by the business leaders surveyed.
Globalization and economic growth
James S. Turley, Chairman and CEO of EY, comments, "The long-term trend toward increased globalization has, unsurprisingly, paused in the last couple of years. Countries and corporates have been retrenching while the recessionary storm blows over."
The index measures the relative level of global engagement of a country. It does not measure the absolute or relative impact a country has on global commerce or the global economy. This means that countries that have large domestic markets – such as China, India and the United States – appear towards the middle of the table. Small countries that rely heavily on exports and world trade – such as Singapore and Ireland – appear at the top. More closed countries – such as Iran and Venezuela – are at the bottom.
Many of the same countries that sat at the top of the index in the 1990s continue to do so. Where there has been significant change is with the emerging economies in the bottom half of the index.
John Ferraro, Chief Operating Officer of EY, explains, "Although the index questions whether the degree to which a country is globalized correlates with its subsequent economic growth, it clearly shows all the major emerging economies becoming more globalized. Also, the contrast between 2010 and 1995 is even more significant for certain smaller countries like South Korea and those from Eastern Europe like Romania. Both have seen major advances in the past 15 years."
What does it mean for business?
The temporary halt to the trend in the last two years does not alter how significant the longer-term implications of globalization will be for business. Companies based in emerging markets are looking to compete more and more with established corporates from developed markets. This competition is playing out not only in the emerging markets themselves but also increasingly in Western markets.
Turley explains that to be a long-term winner in this new globalized world, "Companies must rethink many aspects of their overall strategy ranging from capital raising to how they source their products. And as companies deepen and broaden their presence in international markets, the need for culturally diverse management teams becomes all the more pressing."
To fully maximize the benefits of more open global markets, business will also have to make a more concerted effort to engage with governments and other policy makers on global issues such as protectionism, regulation and trade.
As Turley concludes, "Whether you like it or not, globalization is here to stay and will deepen further over the longer term. It can be painful – but the exchange of ideas, culture, people and capital is a force for good from which the majority of the world's population will see an economic upside."

Introducing Petrolify®: The Power of Petroleum in One Little PillPublished by Post Carbon Institute on 2014-09-03
Original article: http://www.postcarbon.org/blog-post/2350950-introducing-petrolify-r-the-power-of-petroleum by Asher Miller
Imagine there was a pill you could take every day that would provide you with wealth, freedom, and luxuries beyond the imagination of even the wealthiest kings of yesteryear. Taking this pill would give you the equivalent of hundreds of slaves, working for you 24/7, to grow your food, cool and heat your home, entertain you, carry you however far you wanted to travel, fill your bath with hot water, you name it… That'd be amazing!
Well, guess what? You're already taking it. And it's called Petrolify®.
You're ingesting Petrolify® with nearly every breath and every footstep you take. Most of us don't realize that Petrolify® is being pumped into our water and injected into our food. But we reap its magical benefits regardless. Did you sleep indoors last night? You can thank Petrolify®. Did you eat breakfast today? Again, that was thanks to Petrolify®. Are you reading this message on your mobile phone or computer? The miracle of Petrolify® never ends!
Except that miracle comes with some deadly side effects, and an expiration date.
That is why we created the above parody commercial, to remind as many people as possible that the dream we're living—a dream fueled by a one-time, finite fossil fuel bonanza—is far darker than they might suspect.
When we open our eyes to the hidden costs of Petrolify®, it's easy to blame the 'corporate bad guys'—the manufacturers, the drug reps, the doctors—who are pushing their product on an unwilling populace. But we're not quite so unwilling, are we? No, we want what they're selling. And, there is no "they". They are us.
Thankfully, our wellbeing doesn't have to depend on Petrolify®. We can choose for our energy needs to be met with renewable, and more ecological and socially just, sources. More important, we can learn to live well with less. Conservation doesn't have to be the "c" word.
The first step is recognizing our pill-popping addiction for what it is. Please help spread the word that Petrolify® may not be right for us.

The compound interest formula is where
- = Final Value

- = Annualised interest rate

You know , , (it's compounded annually) and
Plug and Chug gives:
I'm not sure if this belongs here or not- I am taking a contemporary mathematics course this semester and I missed a day of class. The name of the title is Finding interest rates.
I already have the anwser, just need someone's help explaining how to solve the problem.
For example: Suppose you invest $10,000 on your son's 13th birthday and it accumulates to 15,000 on his 18th birthday. What annual rate of compound interest did this investment earn?
Pv=10,000 fv=15,000 t=5 years answer 8.45%
Please help me.
I know how to set the initial problem, but I guess what I'm asking is for the detailed steps because I cant figure it out, like how to isolate r, I think. Im so confused. Sorry math is not my thing.
I get to here.
15,000=10,000(1 + r) 5
(15,000 /10,000 -1) = r 5

Nextag may have a couple too many apps.
Comparison shopping engine Nextag just released a new app based on its Radar web site feature that combs the Internet searching for the products a consumer wants and updates the selected products' prices (click here to read the story). Nextag now has not one, not two, but three apps. I think that's two too many.
A consumer would have to sort through all sorts of unnecessary functions to find the one he wanted if one app included all of the functions of the three Nextag apps, says Bahman Koohestani, Nextag vice president of product and technology.
I respectfully disagree. I think the more powerful the m-commerce app, the more likely a customer is to use it. Pack it full of tools and rich media and GPS and augmented reality and QR code scanning. You can have graphical representations for each function on the app's home screen—including the common app button bar at the bottom—that take the customer to the feature or function in just one touch. A shopper looks at an app like that and says, "Man, this thing is unreal!" It excites them, and it offers them many practical tools.
But perhaps more important, having more than one app leads to mobile desktop clutter. Many smartphone owners like to have some semblance of organization on their phones. I have five pages of apps. And I like to keep my most important apps on the home screen. Fortunately, Apple awhile back created the ability to put apps into folders, that way one can have more than 16 apps per screen. I have folders for News, Entertainment, Social, Reference, Finance and Doctor Who (what can I say, the British sci-fi series is that important to me). Each folder contains multiple apps. So, yes, I could create a Nextag folder and put all three apps in the one folder, but why would I want three apps for the same company in a folder when just one on the main desktop would suffice?
Nextag has some great features in all three of its apps. But there's no reason it can't combine them all into one mighty powerful app. If you are thinking about having more than one app, you should give serious thought as to why a consumer would download more than one app, and why you wouldn't simply put all your features and functions in one beauty of an app.

Differentiating between brain abscesses and cystic brain tumors such as high-grade gliomas and metastases is often difficult with conventional MRI. The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of perfusion MRI to differentiate between these pathologies. MRI was performed in 19 patients with rim-enhancing brain lesions (4 pyogenic abscesses, 8 high-grade gliomas, 7 metastases). In addition to standard MR sequences, trace diffusion-weighted MRI with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps and perfusion-weighted MRI by using a first-pass gadopentetate dimeglumine T2*-weighted gradient echo single-shot echo-planar sequence were performed. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) ratios were obtained via the values of the capsular portions of the lesions and the normal white matter. All the abscesses had markedly hyperintense signals in trace diffusion images, whereas they had significant hypointense signals in ADC images. In perfusion-weighted images, the capsular portions of the abscesses demonstrated low colored areas compared with the normal white matter and the rCBV ratio calculated was 0.76 ± 0.12 (mean ± SD). All but two of the cystic tumors showed low signal intensity on trace diffusion-weighted images and high signal intensity on ADC maps. Hyperintense signal was found in two brain tumors mimicking brain abscesses on trace diffusion images. The rCBV values in high-grade gliomas and metastases were 5.51 ± 2.08 and 4.58 ± 2.19, respectively. The difference between abscesses and cystic tumors was statistically significant (P = 0.003). Perfusion MRI may allow the differentiation of pyogenic brain abscess from cystic brain tumors, making it a strong additional imaging modality in the early diagnosis of these two entities.

We buy between five and six hundred new books for our college library each year. There is usually a big rush on new titles when they first come out. After the initial rush the books become hidden on the library shelves amongst the other seven thousand titles. We are only an average size college library but at this point the books seem to disappear for many students who find the act of browsing shelves difficult or have no starting point for a computer search.
In my experience students generally select books visually.
In the children's area of the public library and in the school library after a class visit it's the books on display that disappear first – I know because it's often been me who has to replace them all!
This is something that every librarian knows but it isn't always reflected in the way that we approach the promotion of our wonderful resources.
There are many reasons why people don't bother with displays. Many of us are solo librarians working very hard doing everything and display seems to be at the bottom of our 'things to do' list. Displays may even seem unimportant and trivial, the icing on the cake. Some people assume they belong in the primary domain. Many don't think about displays because they feel they are not creative enough.
We need to be actively promoting our resources; otherwise they could lay dormant on the shelves. There are several ways in which this process happens, display is an important one.
Too time consuming?
As for the time factor, all my displays are very quick (and cheap). I will jot an idea down and think about it every now and again, gradually building on it. I cut letters etc out while chatting to students at breaktimes, often they offer to help.
If the making of a display becomes a process, it really isn't very time consuming at all.
Not creative enough?
I firmly believe that everyone is creative. It doesn't matter if a display isn't a great work of art. The students really couldn't care less about that, what is important is that the display is simple and uncluttered and the message is clear and it draws their eyes to it. We musn't lose sight of the fact that our aim is not to demonstrate our artistic talent but promote the books from our library shelves.
No wall space for displays?
Try a display utilising some of your shelves or a bay-end. Some of the ideas on this site show display banners or displays on windows and doors. Do a keyword search for some of these alternative display places - you may be surprised!
I am happy to try and answer any questions you may have.
Good luck and happy displaying!!! :)

Still, the restaurant industry is filled with entrepreneurs and optimistic businessmen and businesswomen looking to survive and then thrive in the beginning of this new decade.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Matt Thomas scored a game-high 30 points to lead Onalaska to a 55-38 victory over Kaukauna in the WIAA Division 2 state boys basketball championship game at the Kohl Center.
Thomas finished 9 for 18 from the field, including 4 of 7 on 3-pointers. He also made eight of nine free throws and pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds as Onalaska (27-1) claimed its third state title.
A Thomas 3-pointer with 2 seconds left in the second quarter gave Onalaska a 13-point halftime lead. The Hilltoppers went on a 13-2 run to open the second half and lock up their 19th straight victory.
Thomas single-handedly outscored Kaukauna 21-16 in the first half.
Seniors Kyle Schuh and Jordan Kaufman had nine points apiece for the Ghosts (25-3).

Many Christians experience some kind of communication in response to prayer -- ranging from a general sense of guidance or comfort to specific messages to visions, dreams, and prophecies. In Jewish communities of all kinds, how common are similar experiences of communication or guidance, and how are they talked about and interpreted? [more inside]

Is high-synagogue a thing?
In a religious studies course I took eight or nine years ago, the professor mentioned a Jewish congregation in NYC whose services looked almost identical to high-church Anglican services, just with the liturgies changed out. Now that I live in the New York City area (and am dating someone who is Episcopalian-Jewish), I'm quite interested in checking this out, but nothing I can think to search for on Google is turning up the right results. Any MeFi-ites have any idea which congregation this might be?

And can anyone tell me more about them, such as how they fit into Catholicism or their cultural resonances? I'm curious about them, and I've found remarkably little info on the internet-- which leads me to wonder if I'm not using the right search term, or if (egads!) there actually is not a website out there with information.

BountybyRobyn Sarah
Make much of something small.
The pouring-out of tea,
a drying flower's shadow on the wall
from last week's sad bouquet.
A fact: it isn't summer any more.
Say that December sun
is pitiless, but crystalline
and strikes like a bell.
Say it plays colours like a glockenspiel.
It shows the dust as well,
the elemental sediment
your broom has missed,
and lights each grain of sugar spilled
upon the tabletop, beside
pistachio shells, peel of a clementine.
Slippers and morning papers on the floor,
and wafts of iron heat from rumbling rads,
can this be all? No, look – here comes the cat,
with one ear inside out.
Make much of something small.

From the source that told you European Change Still Threatens Stocks the day of the confounding market rally on the election results in Greece and France, today I am advising that the next move may be higher. What's killing stocks these last few days is the wild speak coming from the Greek Syriza Party, which is currently attempting to form a government. What may save stocks, probably only temporarily, will be the inability of Greece's Radical Left Coalition to form a government, which means the Greeks will get a second chance at deciding their fate in June. Where that leads should be at least clearer, though the direction could be either.
Also, the ramifications of the Greek decision might not be as clear, traumatic or destructive as people, pundits and even economists describe. For instance, if the eurozone were to fail completely, which is not as unlikely as the entrenched make it to seem, Greece's early exit might prove helpful. On the other hand, a fascist state and/or weak leadership would find difficulty navigating the global economic environment. You see, nothing is perfectly black or white in this world, however we may attempt to simplify and everything can be colored. Furthermore, the best solution for Greece, Europe and the global market should offer wise economic strengthening combined with sensible budget management, or the gray in between today's two arguments.
Some might say that the premature celebration of Syriza's Alexis Tsipras has done more to terrify global markets and perhaps even the Greeks who voted for him than to bring positive change so far. The sum I speak of would include PASOK and New Democracy leadership, who will now surely employ fear tactics to retrieve votes lost in the first election. Greece's citizens have only to look at their stock market, with the Athens Stock Exchange General Index collapsed over the two days following the anomalous trade immediately after the election. The Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (NYSEARCA:GREK) is down 13% from May 4th. The iShares S&P Europe 350 Index (NYSEARCA:IEV), down another 1.5% into midday Wednesday, has been edging down on the omens of election polls for weeks. Though Europe's slipping into broad-reaching recession has certainly played a role in that.
While a secondary victory for the establishment might ease market concerns, it's certainly not a given. On the other end of the spectrum, the disgruntled and disgusted Greek people may line up behind Syriza now. If the many tentacled monster of Greek dissatisfaction were to more perfectly unify, then it is possible Syriza could win the majority. In that case, with the extra 50 seats in Parliament given for the win and the assistance of other parties, it might also form a government. The result of that is clear, based on the emboldened braggadocio of Tsipras. He has stated he will tear up standing agreements with the troika, whose response has also clearly been laid out. It would be the end of the relationship between Greece and Europe, or at least the eurozone. Greece would default on its debt and return to the drachma.
In my view, and reiterating yet again, neither of the two extremes needs be the fate of Greece. If the global community which makes up the IMF, and the European Union, intend for Greece's realistic revival, they would set simpler terms for Greece to payback its debt. An extension of the timeline to payback would allow Greece to more gradually implement sensible austerity measures while also finding creative growth solutions. Instead, Greeks have had deep destructive austerity shoved down their throats. The economic feedback would not be harsh my way, and upheaval in Greece would die down. Its tourism industry would recover, and its economy would find its way toward expansion. With that result, Spain, Italy and Portugal would gain time to restore their own fiscal soundness, and the euro-zone likewise should solidify.
Perhaps, then, the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY), the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEARCA:DIA) and the PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ) might be in the green instead of red like they were.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

On Jimmy Buffett's first album in four years, "Songs From St. Somewhere," the mayor of Margaritaville returns to mixing softly swaying beach tunes with pirate tales of foreign intrigue and social commentary. The problem, however, is Buffett's voice doesn't sound nearly as engaged as his imaginative songwriting and a few turns with inspired guests.
The 66-year-old veteran sounds bored on the island songs, snapping off each word with a clipped tone and a bland sense of phrasing — an about-face from the performances that made Buffett such an enjoyable performer in the past. He sounds livelier on a series of ambitious songs about the mysterious adventures of a world traveler, but the tunes lack the hooks that made Buffett's famous songs of long ago so memorable.
There are positive exceptions, especially when guests Mark Knopfler (on "Oldest Surfer on the Beach") and Latin singer Fanny Lu (on a Spanish version of "I Want to Go Back to Cartagena") stir up the proceedings. Best of all is a duet with country star Toby Keith. "Too Drunk to Karaoke" bobs along with common-man humor and vivid writing and performing. It's the one song from the new album sure to become a favorite during Buffett's ever-popular live shows.

All aboard the 100-mile diet
By Leslie Bilderback 08/01/2011
Yet another friend has announced the addition of chickens to her family, and I admit I am starting to feel a little out of the coop loop. The growing sense of inferiority, as I whip up a batch of Floating Islands from store-bought eggs, is akin to my feelings during junior high dances, when everyone was making out except me.
This is the latest incarnation of the ever-growing locavore movement, sometimes referred to as "the 100-mile diet." Those who take the term "from scratch" to heart have added the joy of chicken husbandry to this ethos. If you've been living under a rock, the locavore movement is the super-chic trend of consuming food that is produced locally, ideally within 100 miles of where you live. The idea is to support local growers and minimize the carbon footprint created by transporting foods from afar.
Seventy-five years ago the movement was known by another name --- "existing." Yes, kids, back in the olden days, before industrialized meat and trans-Atlantic fruit flights, Americans ate what was grown and raised where they lived. If you didn't grow it or raise it, chances are someone down the street did. And when the season was over, you ate the next crop. If you wanted strawberries in the dead of winter, you could open a jar of preserves, or come to terms with disappointment (a skill that has gone the way of the dodo).
But somewhere along the way we decided that we must have whatever we want whenever we want it (a self-indulgent attitude of entitlement that is, in my opinion, the root of all evil). Today we think nothing of strolling down to the local mega-mart to pick up pineapples from Costa Rica, Chilean raspberries and meat "products" created from mysterious parts in mysterious places. Deep down we know that the animals we consume are not raised by loving parents, and the produce we buy is picked green (before full nutrients and flavor can develop) and transported in trucks filled with ethylene gas to ripen it artificially. But we pretend it doesn't matter. (Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.)
Sure, the idea of a global food market is inherently appealing (French cheese, Italian salami, New Zealand lamb). But its realities are proving problematic. It's not just white truffles we are transporting to our dinner parties while consuming precious fossil fuels. We're also getting E. coli--laced bean sprouts, radioactive spinach, melamine-enriched flour and plasticized punch from countries that treat safety standards like Californians treat stop signs.
How did this happen? Until the late 1800s fresh food was transported no more than a few miles. But along came Chicago meat packer Gustavus Franklin Swift. Thinking out-of-the-boxcar, Swift experimented with refrigerated trains. Designs were sketchy at first and included meat hung above ice on metal tracks which, when the train entered a curve at high speeds, shifted the weight and caused derailment. After several derailments the idea was nixed. (It took a special arrogance to assume the first derailment was a fluke.) Swift's winning design called for meat packed tightly at the bottom of well-insulated cars with ice at the top, so cool air could flow downward. The design was picked up by other meat processors, and it didn't take long for consumer and consumed to become completely detached. Soon people didn't care what or where their food came from.
But now we seem to have come full circle, and I am happy to see the sudden interest in local foods. Although in reality, it is hardly sudden. The Slow Food movement began formally advocating the preservation of local food traditions in the mid-1980s, and Alice Waters' Chez Panisse has been touting the local ethic to the fine food world since 1971. But while both groups have succeeded in bringing local and organic foods to the forefront of fine dining, they have thus far failed to attract the masses and seem to have ignored the stunning lack of wholesome, let alone local, food choices to the inner city.
So, how can we spread the word? Making local, wholesome food retro-cool is a good start. As any teenager can tell you, once the cool kids are doing it, everyone else follows. And isn't trend-setting what SoCal life is all about? We could conceivably make local food the bedazzled chihuahua of 2012.
Here's how:
• Find out where your food comes from.
• Pick five foods you always eat and commit to finding them locally.
• Search out local producers and lobby local markets to feature them.
Then if this makes you feel warm and fuzzy, move on to the next steps:
• Join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) --- a system for bringing crops directly to consumers --- and get a box of local seasonal produce once a week.
• Learn how to preserve foods.
• Plant a garden.
And when you are fully committed and have traded in your Dolce and Gabbana for Birkenstocks and hemp, you can start raising chickens, bees and goats.
Of course, there is another side to the coin. Just because it's local doesn't necessarily make it better (as this season's Dodger fans can attest). Factory farming, genetic modification and chemically treated foods grow here too. And how much are we really saving the planet when we have to drive to eight stores to complete our weekly shopping? So weigh your options, people.
In the end, when your food doesn't have to travel far, it's healthier and tastier and you're keeping money in the community rather than sending it to big conglomerates. Just think! You'll not only be a healthy hipster, but you can also stick it to The Man.

Maximise and Minimise subject to .
I understand that i have to differentiate them in respect to x, y, and then lambda.. Rearrange them accordingly to find x and y.

- . That makes a big big difference ......
Solutions are or or x = 6, y = 2 or x = - 6, y =-2.
Moral of the story: The method is usually OK but you should ALWAYS check the details.
