Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
Title: Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
Developer: Mythic Entertainment / EA (known from Dark Age of Camelot)
ETA: Somewhere in 2007
W.A.R. : Warhammer Age of Reckoning
Mythic Entertainment is working on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (W.A.R. from now on) for some time now. They bought the rights to develop a mmorpg based on the Warhammer IP (Fantasy, not 40k). They work closely with Games Workshop, to ensure that everything will be as authentic as possible.
The main focus will be on the pvp portion of the game, allthough pve is still a viable way to go in the game. This is not a surprise, seeing that the game that made Mythic 'famous' (Dark Age of Camelot) is also a pvp-heavy mmorpg. It will not be as unforgiving as Darkfall Online (looting of players, open pvp in all zones), but also not as mainstream as WoW's pvp.
A Dwarf:
Some people will say that it looks alot like WoW (and who can blame them?) but Blizzard openly admitted that they borrowed heavily from the Warhammer IP when they created the Warcraft universum.
There are many more features to be discussed when it comes to W.A.R. (you can get trophies from fallen opponents in pvp, that you can use as decorations for your armor, the raiding of cities, the public quest system, etc) but I think it's more fun to discuss in this thread!
Looks very promising, especially that its being done by Mythic. I will definately check it out though and I ,of course like most everyone else here probably, am hoping to get into an early beta period :)

Sharpsburg church break-in still under investigation
Police still are investigating a late December break-in at St. John Cantius Church in Sharpsburg.
The church, one of three in St. Juan Diego Parish, was the target of thieves who on Dec. 28 broke in the front door apparently looking for some items they could grab to sell quickly.
"They stole some microphones, which I guess they can sell easily," said the Rev. Mike Decewicz, pastor.
The thieves made off with no money, he said.
"That was the great thing, that there was no money there," Decewicz said.
Police Chief Leo Rudzki was not able to be reached for comment.
The pastor was out of town when the church, which sits along High Street, was targeted.
Parish maintenance director Jerry Auen discovered shortly after noon on Dec. 28 that the front glass door of the church was shattered and reported it to Sharpsburg police.
Decewicz said he is grateful that damage was limited to the door.
"Nothing else was ruined, which was fortunate," he said.
St. John Cantius was founded in 1906 as a Polish parish. The current building was dedicated in 1971 after a fire destroyed the original structure.
While Decewicz still celebrates a weekly Mass there, the church has been used primarily as a home to the Korean Catholic Community since 2008.

The name of my blog comes from the acoustic theory of speech production, in which a source (e.g., oscillating vocal folds, an oral constriction) is transformed by a filter (e.g., the vocal tract cavities 'downstream' from the source). It occurred to me a while back that 'Source-Filter' would be a good name for a blog wherein various sources of information (e.g., my trips to Wyoming or Chile, the cognitive and statistical models I work with) are filtered through my thought process and worldview.
The subtitle – "Statistics, Models, Language, Cognition, and Assorted Whatnots" – is an attempt to briefly describe my interests. The items in this list are not ordered according to importance or relevance. I wanted the phrase 'assorted whatnots' in there, but it doesn't work to have that come first, so I put things in reverse alphabetical order.
Here are links to a page about my research (as well as sub-pages on acoustics, experiments, and statistics), a page about my approach to teaching, and my curriculum vitae. You can also go to all these pages using the links in the bar near the top of each page.

The Spanish trainer has come under fire, following the Giallorossi's disappointing performances in recent weeks, but he still has the full support of his players
The Giallorossi are effectively out of the race for Champions League qualification, following their disappointing performances in recent weeks, and Luis Enrique has received his fair share of criticism for the team's poor form.
Nevertheless, Taddei feels that the former Spain international deserves respect, and added that the team has a good relationship with the 41-year-old.
"Luis Enrique deserves to be treated with respect. He's a great guy and a good coach," Taddei was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"The team has an excellent rapport with him."
Roma currently sit seventh in the Serie A table with only three more games to go.

Randy Blythe, lead singer in heavy metal Lamb of God, has been indicted on a manslaughter charge in the death of a fan at a concert in the Czech Republic.
Blythe was charged Friday in Prague with causing bodily harm to another person with lethal consequences. The 41-year-old Blythe is accused of pushing the fan from the stage during a 2010 concert. The fan died of a head injury 14 days later.
The manager of a heavy metal band says Blythe will vigorously defend himself against the charge.
The Richmond, Virginia-based band's manager Larry Mazer said in a statement Monday that Blythe responded professionally to the large number of fans who rushed the stage amid lax security.
Blythe spent five weeks in custody of Czech authorities before being released on bail in August. He has been in the U.S. since then.

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
International Energy Outlook 2016
Release Date: May 11, 2016 | Next Release Date: September 2017 | | Report Number: DOE/EIA-0484(2016)
Chapter 1. World energy demand and economic outlook
The International Energy Outlook 2016 (IEO2016) Reference case projects significant growth in worldwide energy demand over the 28-year period from 2012 to 2040. Total world consumption of marketed energy expands from 549 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2012 to 629 quadrillion Btu in 2020 and to 815 quadrillion Btu in 2040—a 48% increase from 2012 to 2040 (Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1). The IEO2016 Reference case assumes known technologies and technological and demographic trends, generally reflects the effects of current policies, and does not anticipate new policies that have not been announced (See EIA's handling of non-policies in the International Energy Outlook).
The IEO2016 Reference case projections do not include the effects of the recently finalized Clean Power Plan (CPP) regulations in the United States. The U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) preliminary analysis of the proposed CPP [9] shows potential reductions of 21% (about 4 quadrillion Btu) in U.S. coal consumption in 2020 and 24% (almost 5 quadrillion Btu) in 2040 relative to the IEO2016 Reference case projection. With the CPP, U.S. renewable energy use in 2020 would be 7% (about 1 quadrillion Btu) higher than in the Reference case, and in 2040 it would be 37% (4 quadrillion Btu) higher than in the Reference case. U.S. consumption of petroleum and other liquid fuels and of natural gas would be slightly lower with the CPP than in the Reference case.
EIA's handling of non-U.S. policies in the International Energy Outlook
The International Energy Outlook (IEO), in general, reflects the effects of current policies—often stated through regulations—within the projections. The IEO does not incorporate policies that are not currently in place. Within the context of international modeling, incorporating existing policies and regulations and interpreting announced country targets can be complex. EIA analysts consider policies, regulations, and targets in major countries and regions within the 16 IEO regions with the goal of realistically incorporating them into the projections.
The incorporation of U.S. policies in IEO2016 is consistent with their incorporation in the Annual Energy Outlook 2015 (AEO2015). The final Clean Power Plan (CPP) rule, which was issued in August 2015, is not included in the AEO2015 or IEO2016 Reference cases. However, the impact is addressed in key tables, figures, and discussions in IEO2016, based on EIA's analysis of the proposed version of the CPP rule, which was issued earlier. The Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) Reference case will include the final CPP rule.
For policies outside the United States, EIA analysts assess the prospects that countries or country groups (for example, the European Union) will be able to achieve the goals or targets stated or implied in their policies. Analysts may consider the track record of countries or country groupings in meeting goals of current or past policies as an indicator of their likely success in meeting future policy targets. For example, the European Union's 20-20-20 plan is fully incorporated in EIA's projections for Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Europe. On the other hand, Ukraine's 2012 strategic goal for planned nuclear capacity additions is not fully implemented in the projections given that country's poor track record.
EIA attempts to be transparent about the extent to which international government policies, regulations, targets, and other statements are incorporated in the IEO projections. Where major policies have not been fully implemented in the analysis, explanations are provided for the rationale of the approaches that are used.
Much of the world increase in energy demand occurs among the developing non-OECD nations (outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) [10], where strong economic growth and expanding populations lead the increase in world energy use. Non-OECD demand for energy rises by 71% from 2012 to 2040. In contrast, in the more mature energy-consuming and slower-growing OECD economies, total energy use rises by only 18% from 2012 to 2040 (Figure 1-2)..
Economic growth, along with accompanying structural changes, strongly influences world energy consumption. As countries develop and living standards improve, energy demand grows rapidly. For instance, in nations experiencing fast-paced economic growth, the share of the populace demanding improved housing—which requires more energy to construct and maintain—often increases. Increased demand for appliances and transportation equipment, and growing capacity to produce goods and services for both domestic and foreign markets, also lead to higher energy consumption. Over the past 30 years, world economic growth has been led by the non-OECD countries, accompanied by strong growth in energy demand in the region. From 1990 to 2012, real GDP grew by 4.9%/year in non-OECD countries, compared with 2.1%/year in OECD countries. In the future, the differences in economic growth rates between OECD and non-OECD nations are expected to narrow, as economic growth in non-OECD countries moderates, and as their industrial structures move from reliance mainly on production in energy-intensive industries to more service-oriented industries. In the IEO2016 Reference case, average GDP in the non-OECD region grows by 4.2%/year from 2012 to 2040, compared with 2.0%/year in the OECD (Figure 1-3).
On a worldwide basis, real gross domestic product (GDP, measured in purchasing power parity terms) grows in the IEO2016 Reference case by an average of 3.3%/year from 2012 to 2040—with non-OECD GDP growth averaging 4.2%/year and OECD GDP growth averaging 2.0%/year. Accordingly, energy consumption growth is led by non-OECD demand. Non-OECD energy consumption first surpassed the OECD total in 2007; in 2040, total energy demand in the non-OECD region exceeds the OECD total by 89%.
More than half of the projected increase in global energy consumption from 2012 to 2040 occurs among the nations of non-OECD Asia, a country grouping that includes China and India. In the Reference case, energy demand in non-OECD Asia by 83% (or, by 146 quadrillion Btu) from 2012 to 2040. China and India, in particular, have been among the world's fastest-growing economies over much of the past decade. Although their rates of economic expansion are expected to moderate in the future, they remain important areas of growth in world energy demand throughout the 2012–40 period.
In addition to energy demand growth in non-OECD Asia, other non-OECD regions show substantial increases in energy demand in the IEO2016 Reference case (Figure 1-4). Fast-paced growth in population and access to ample domestic resources result in a total increase of 95% (30 quadrillion Btu) in the Middle East region's energy consumption from 2012 and 2040. Similarly, Africa's energy consumption more than doubles (a total increase of 22 quadrillion Btu), and energy use in the non-OECD Americas region grows by 53% (16 quadrillion Btu). The smallest total increase in energy demand in the Reference case from 2012 to 2040 among non-OECD regions is 14% for non-OECD Europe and Eurasia, including Russia, as the region's population declines and significant gains in energy efficiency are achieved by replacing old, Soviet-era capital equipment with more efficient stock.
Outlook for world energy consumption by source
Consumption of energy from all sources increases in the IEO2016 Reference case. Concerns about energy security, effects of fossil fuel emissions on the environment, and sustained high world oil prices in the long term support expanded use of nonfossil renewable energy sources and nuclear power, as well as natural gas, which is the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel. With government policies and incentives promoting the use of nonfossil energy sources in many countries, renewable energy is the world's fastest-growing source of energy, at an average rate of 2.6%/year, while nuclear energy use increases by 2.3%/year, and natural gas use increases by 1.9%/year (Figure 1-5). Coal is the world's slowest growing form of energy in the Reference case, at an average rate of 0.6%/year (compared with an average increase of 1.4%/year in total world energy demand).
Fossil fuels continue to provide most of the world's energy in the IEO2016 Reference case: in 2040, liquid fuels, natural gas, and coal account for 78% of total world energy consumption. Petroleum and other liquid fuels remain the largest source of energy, although their share of total world marketed energy consumption declines from 33% in 2012 to 30% in 2040. Worldwide, most of the increase in liquid fuels consumption occurs in the transportation and industrial sectors, with a small increase in the commercial sector and decreases in the residential and electric power sectors. The declines in the use of liquid fuels in the residential and power sectors result from rising world oil prices, which lead to switching from liquids to alternative fuels where possible. In contrast, the use of liquid fuels in the transportation and industrial sectors increases even as their prices continue to rise. Worldwide, consumption of liquid fuels grows by 1.1%/ year in the transportation sector, and by 1.0%/year in the industrial sector, from 2012 to 2040.
In the IEO2016 Reference case, the world's total natural gas consumption increases by 1.9%/year on average, from 120 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 2012 to 133 Tcf in 2020 and to 203 Tcf in 2040. Increasing supplies of natural gas, particularly from shale formations in the United States and Canada, and eventually elsewhere, help to supply global markets. In the future, advances in the application of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies, which have contributed to the rapid increase in U.S. natural gas production, are applied in other parts of the world, with the newly available natural gas resources supporting worldwide growth in natural gas consumption. From 2012 to 2040, world natural gas demand increases in all end-use sectors, with the largest increments in the electric power sector and the industrial sector, which together account for nearly 75% of the total increase in world natural gas consumption.
Coal is the slowest-growing energy source in the IEO2016 Reference case, with 0.6%/year average increases in total world coal consumption from 2012 to 2040, considerably slower than the 2.2%/year average over the past 30 years [11]. Coal consumption slows (or declines) in every region of the world from 2012 to 2040. In China, where coal use has increased by an average of nearly 6.0%/year over the past 30 years, the increases in the Reference case average only 0.3%/year from 2012 to 2040. China's recent moves to reduce coal as a means of addressing air pollution in major urban areas, and the government's announcement in November 2015 that the country's carbon dioxide emissions would peak by 2030, result in lower coal demand for China in the IEO2016 Reference case than in previous IEOs. Only 2 years ago, in the IEO2013 Reference case projections, coal use in China totaled 121 quadrillion Btu in 2040. In IEO2016, China's coal use reaches 88 quadrillion Btu in 2025 before declining to 83 quadrillion Btu in 2040.
Coal consumption projections in the IEO2016 Reference case, which total 169 quadrillion Btu in 2020 and 180 quadrillion Btu in 2040, do not include the effect of the final Clean Power Plan regulations in the United States. Including the CPP would reduce world coal consumption to 165 quadrillion Btu in 2020 and to 176 quadrillion Btu in 2040, based on EIA's analysis of the CPP proposed rule [12].EIA's analysis of the final rule is expected to show a roughly similar impact on projections of U.S. coal use.
Electricity consumption by end users grows faster than their use of other delivered energy sources in the Reference case, as has been true for the past several decades. Net electricity generation worldwide rises by 1.9%/year on average from 2012 to 2040, with the strongest growth in non-OECD countries. Increases in non-OECD electricity generation average 2.5%/year in the IEO2016 Reference case as rising living standards increase demand for home appliances and electronic devices as well as for commercial services, including hospitals, schools, office buildings, and retail and grocery stores. In the OECD nations, where infrastructures are more mature and population growth is relatively slow or declining, electric power generation increases by an average of 1.2%/year from 2012 to 2040.
Coal, which currently provides the largest share of energy for world electricity generation in the IEO2016 Reference case (Figure 1-6), declines from 40% of total generation in 2012 to 29% in 2040 [13]. In addition, if the U.S. CPP were included in the projections, the coal share of world generation would be 28% in 2040. The liquid fuels share of total generation also falls in the IEO2016 Reference case, as other fuels are substituted for higher-priced liquids in the power generation sector. The liquids share of total generation falls from 5% in 2012 to less than 2% in 2040. Natural gas and renewable energy sources account for increasing shares of total generation, with the natural gas share growing from 22% in 2012 to 28% in 2040 and the renewable share growing from 22% in 2012 to 29% in 2040. If the U.S. CPP were included, the renewable share of world generation would increase to 30% in 2040. Renewable generation (including hydropower) is the fastest-growing source of electric power in the IEO2016 Reference case, rising by an average of 2.9%/year, compared with average annual increases for natural gas (2.7%), nuclear power (2.4%), and coal (0.8%). Government policies and incentives throughout the world support the rapid construction of renewable generation facilities. By 2040 renewables, natural gas, and coal each hold a similar share of global electricity generation.
Hydropower and wind are the two largest contributors to the increase in world electricity generation from renewable energy sources, together accounting for two-thirds of the total increment from 2012 to 2040. Both hydropower and wind generation increase by about 1.9 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) in the IEO2016 Reference case. Although nonhydropower resources account for most of the increase in world renewable generation, hydropower provides nearly 40% of the growth in the non-OECD region. Strong increases in non-OECD hydroelectricity generation, primarily from mid- to large-scale power plants, are expected in Brazil and in non-OECD Asia (particularly in China and India), which in combination account for more than 75% of the total increase in non-OECD hydroelectricity generation from 2012 to 2040.
Hydroelectric potential in the OECD region is much lower than in the non-OECD region, because most of the economically exploitable hydroelectric resources in OECD countries already have been developed. Except in a few cases—notably, Canada and Turkey—there are few opportunities to expand large- and mid-scale hydroelectric power projects in the OECD. Instead, most renewable energy growth in OECD countries comes from wind and solar resources. Many OECD countries, particularly those in Europe, have government policies (including feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and market share quotas) that encourage construction of wind and other nonhydropower renewable electricity facilities. In the IEO2016 Reference case, 82% of the growth in OECD renewable energy consumption is attributed to nonhydropower renewables (Figure 1-7).
Electricity generation from nuclear power worldwide increases from 2.3 trillion kWh in 2012 to 3.1 trillion kWh in 2020 and to 4.5 trillion kWh in 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case, as concerns about energy security and greenhouse gas emissions support the development of new nuclear generating capacity. World average capacity utilization rates for nuclear power plants have continued to rise over time, from about 68% in 1980 to about 80% in 2012, and they could continue to improve in many regions. In the Reference case, virtually all of the net expansion in world installed nuclear power capacity occurs in non-OECD countries, led by China's addition of 139 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity from 2012 to 2040 (Figure 1-8). Within the OECD, only South Korea has a sizable (15 GW) increase in nuclear capacity. Capacity reductions in Canada and OECD Europe, and in Japan (where nuclear capacity in 2040 in the Reference case remains below the total before the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster) more than offset the increase in South Korea's nuclear capacity. As a result, the combined capacity of all OECD nuclear power plants drops by a net 6 GW from 2012 to 2040.
Delivered energy consumption by end-use sector
Understanding patterns in the consumption of energy delivered to end users [14] is important for the development of projections of global energy use. Outside the transportation sector, which at present is dominated by liquid fuels, the mix of energy use in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors varies widely by region, depending on a combination of regional factors, such as the availability of energy resources; levels of economic development; and political, social, and demographic factors.
Buildings sector
Energy consumed in the buildings sector, divided between residential and commercial end users, accounts for one-fifth of the total delivered energy consumed worldwide. In the IEO2016 Reference case, total world energy consumption in buildings increases by an average of 1.5%/year from 2012 to 2040.
Energy use in the residential sector is defined as the energy consumed by households, excluding transportation uses. Energy is used in the residential sector for heating, cooling, lighting, and water heating and for many other appliances and equipment. Income levels and energy prices influence the ways in which energy is consumed in the residential sector, as do various other factors, such as location, building and household characteristics, weather, equipment types and efficiencies, access to delivered energy, availability of energy sources, and energy-related policies. As a result, the types and amounts of energy use by households can vary widely within and across regions and countries.
Energy use in homes accounts for about 13% of world delivered energy consumption in 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case. World residential energy consumption increases by 48% from 2012 to 2040, mainly as a result of growing residential sector demand in the non-OECD countries. Total non-OECD residential energy consumption increases by an average of 2.1%/year, compared with 0.6%/year in the OECD countries. Some of the fastest-growing sources of residential consumer demand are in the countries of non-OECD Asia (including China and India), as a result of strong economic growth and expanding populations in much of the region. In 2040, the combined total residential energy use of China and India is double their 2012 total and accounts for 27% of total world residential energy consumption.
The commercial sector—often referred to as the service sector or services and institutional sector—consists of businesses, institutions, and organizations that provide services, encompassing many different types of buildings and a wide range of activities and energy-related services. In the IEO2016 Reference case, the world's total commercial sector delivered energy consumption increases by an average of 1.6%/year, and the commercial sector share of total world delivered energy use rises from about 7% in 2012 to about 8% in 2040.
Slow expansion of GDP and either slow growth or a decline in population in many OECD nations contribute to slower rates of OECD commercial energy demand growth in the Reference case. In addition, continued efficiency improvements moderate the growth of energy demand over time, as less efficient energy-using equipment is replaced with newer, more efficient stock. Among the OECD nations, delivered energy consumption in the commercial sector increases by 1.1%/year from 2012 through 2040, compared with an average of 0.6%/year for the residential sector.
In the non-OECD nations, economic activity and commerce increase rapidly, fueling additional demand for energy in the service sectors. Non-OECD population growth is also more rapid than in the OECD countries, increasing the need for education, health care, and social services and the energy required to provide them. In addition, as developing nations mature, they transition to more service-related enterprises, raising the demand for energy in the commercial sector. With substantial amounts of energy needed in the future to fuel growth in commercial buildings, total delivered commercial energy use in the non-OECD nations grows by 2.4%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the Reference case, which is more than twice the rate for the OECD commercial sector.
EIA's handling of discrepancies in international energy data
In IEO2016, readers may notice instances where estimates of delivered liquid fuels by sector for some world regions do not add up to estimates of those regions' total delivered liquid fuels. Such discrepancies arise primarily because EIA's modeling of energy consumption by end-use sector can in some cases lead to disconnects between the historical data for total consumption of petroleum and other liquid fuels and the consumption estimates produced by the World Energy Projection System Plus (WEPS+) model. For international data, EIA's estimates of historical energy use by country are based on outside sources of information, including foreign governments, the International Energy Agency, and other organizations. Inevitably, issues of data quality, definitional differences, and timeliness arise.
IEO2016 aims to be internally consistent with all other contemporaneous EIA publications. Specifically, this report incorporates global historical data from EIA's International Energy Statistics (IES), as well as projections for the United States from the Short-Term Energy Outlook and the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO). The WEPS+ model used to generate IEO2016 projections is calibrated to IES data by backtesting for a given historical period [15]. Because the WEPS+ model includes more detail than IES on end-use consumption by sector for international regions, it can be calibrated to IES data at the fuel and region levels but not at the end-use sector level. When the sum of regional consumption from the end-use modules does not match the regional total from IES, the resulting discrepancy is reported at the region and fuel level in IEO2016.
For several IEO modeling regions, the discrepancies can be significant. Collection and reporting of international energy data are decentralized, and uncertainties typically are greater than those for U.S. energy data. Similarly, the determinants of energy demand outside the United States are less well understood than those for U.S. energy demand. As a result, such discrepancies tend to be larger in IEO2016 than in AEO2015.
Industrial sector
The industrial sector encompasses manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction—and a wide range of activities, such as processing and assembly, space conditioning, and lighting. Industrial energy use also includes natural gas and petroleum products used as feedstocks for the production of nonenergy products, such as plastics and fertilizer. Industrial energy demand varies across regions and countries of the world, based on the level and mix of economic activity and technological development, among other factors. The industrial sector consumed 54% of global delivered energy in 2012, and its energy consumption grows by an average of 1.2%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case.
Industrial sector energy use in the non-OECD economies increases by 1.5%/year in the Reference case, compared with 0.5%/year in the OECD economies. The gap in growth rates reflects both faster economic expansion outside the OECD and differences in the composition of industrial sector production. Industrial operations in the OECD economies generally are more energy-efficient than those in the non-OECD economies, and the mix of industrial output is more heavily weighted toward nonenergy-intensive industry sectors in the OECD. On average, industrial energy intensity (the amount of energy consumed in the industrial sector per dollar of economic output) in non-OECD countries is much higher than in OECD countries.
Transportation sector
Energy use in the transportation sector includes energy consumed in moving people and goods by road, rail, air, water, and pipeline. The transportation sector accounted for 25% of total world delivered energy consumption in 2012, and transportation energy use increases by 1.4%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case. The growth in transportation energy demand is largely a result of increases projected for the non-OECD nations, where fast-paced gains in GDP raise standards of living and, correspondingly, the demand for personal travel and freight transport to meet consumer demand for goods. Non-OECD transportation energy use increases by 2.5%/year, compared with average annual growth of 0.2% in the OECD nations, where consuming patterns are already well established, and slower growth of national economies and populations, coupled with vehicle efficiency improvements, keep transportation energy demand from increasing.
The road transport component of transportation energy use includes light-duty vehicles, such as automobiles, sport utility vehicles, minivans, small trucks, and motorbikes, as well as heavy-duty vehicles, such as large trucks used for moving freight and buses used for passenger travel. Growth rates for economic activity and population, and trends in vehicle fuel efficiency, are the key factors in transportation energy demand. Economic growth spurs increases in industrial output, which requires the movement of raw materials to manufacturing sites, as well as the movement of manufactured goods to end users. In addition, increasing demand for personal travel is a primary contributing factor to underlying increases in energy demand for transportation. Increases in urbanization and in personal incomes also contribute to increases in air travel and to motorization (more vehicles per capita) in the growing non-OECD economies.
World economic outlook
Economic growth, along with accompanying structural changes, strongly influences world energy consumption. As countries develop and living standards improve, energy demand grows rapidly. For instance, in nations experiencing fast-paced economic growth, the share of the populace demanding improved housing—which requires more energy to construct and maintain—often increases. Increased demand for appliances and transportation equipment, and growing capacity to produce goods and services for both domestic and foreign markets, also lead to higher energy consumption. Over the past 30 years, world economic growth has been led by the non-OECD countries, accompanied by strong growth in energy demand in the region. From 1990 to 2012, real GDP grew by 4.9%/year in non-OECD countries, compared with 2.1%/year in OECD countries. In the future, the differences in economic growth rates between OECD and non-OECD nations are expected to narrow, as economic growth in non-OECD countries moderates, and as their industrial structures move from reliance mainly on production in energy-intensive industries to more service-oriented industries. In the IEO2016 Reference case, average GDP in the non-OECD region grows by 4.2%/year from 2012 to 2040, compared with 2.0%/year in the OECD.
Economic growth in the IEO2016 projections depends on increases in labor force, growth of capital stock, and improvements in productivity. Across many of the IEO regions, productivity growth—also referred to as total factor productivity (TFP) or multifactor productivity (MFP)—is especially uncertain, but it is an important determinant of income per person in the long run. However, because TFP measures things that cannot be accounted for by other inputs used in the production of goods and services, identifying the driving forces behind its growth is difficult. In general, the TFP determinants can be separated into those that focus on the creation, transfer, and use of knowledge (broadly defined), and those that build the infrastructure needed for efficient creation, transfer, and use of knowledge. Examples of the former determinants include research and development funding, and human capital. Examples of the latter determinants include the prevalence of research institutions, the condition of national infrastructures, competitiveness, and regulatory environment. The IEO2016 assumptions about regional economic growth—measured in terms of real GDP in 2012 U.S. dollars at purchasing power parity rates—underlie the projections of regional energy demand. World economic growth has been steady in recent years, with the global economy growing by 4.0% in 2011, followed by more modest growth of 3.1% in 2012, 3.2% in 2013, and 3.3% in 2014. Such steady growth is assumed to continue in the IEO2016 Reference case, with real world GDP growth averaging 3.3%/year (on a purchasing power parity basis) from 2012 to 2040 [16] (Table 1-2). The growth rate slows over the period, peaking at 3.8% in 2018, then declines to 3.0% in 2040. Global economic growth in the IEO2016 Reference case is led by the emerging economies, with growth in real GDP in the non-OECD region averaging 4.2%/year from 2012 to 2040, compared with 2.0%/year in the OECD region. Slower global economic growth after 2020 results primarily from slower growth in the emerging economies, particularly China.
OECD economies
From 2012 to 2040, real GDP growth in the OECD averages 2.0%/year (on a purchasing power parity basis) in the IEO2016 Reference case (Figure 1-9). In the United States, which remains the largest OECD economic region, real GDP growth averages 2.4%/year from 2012 to 2040. Slower growth of the U.S. labor force over the projection period, as the baby boom generation retires, is partially offset by increases in productivity. Changes in productivity growth are the key source of uncertainty in the U.S. projection.
Canada's economic growth in the Reference case, at 2.1%/year from 2012 to 2040, is slower than that of the United States. Although recent declines in oil prices reduce Canadian GDP growth in the near term, prospects for the long term are relatively healthy, given Canada's record of fiscal prudence and the productive capacity of its economy. Canada has also diversified beyond commodity production, with services accounting for more than 70% of Canadian value added [17].
Chile and Mexico are the fastest-growing OECD countries from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case, with their combined GDP increasing by an average of 3.1% annually. Because the two nations are primarily exporters, especially of commodities, short-term and long-term commodity prices will substantially affect export revenues—as will fluctuations in exchange rates with major trading partners. Although both countries are well positioned for medium- to long-run growth, given their expanding working-age populations, there are also concerns about infrastructure, competitiveness (especially in Mexico), and education.
GDP growth in OECD Europe increases by an average of 1.7%/year in the IEO2016 Reference case, which is the second slowest rate among the OECD regions, after Japan. In the near term, most European countries still have to deal with the aftermath of the European financial crisis and ensuing credit issues, which have slowed recent GDP gains and depressed investment. In the longer term, OECD Europe sees moderate increases in productivity, driven by research and development and a well-educated population; however, the region's overall population growth is expected to slow, and the working-age population is projected to begin declining shortly after 2020. Increases in capital stock are moderate over the projection period.
Japan has the slowest-growing economy among the OECD regions over the projection period, averaging 0.6%/year, attributed primarily to demographic trends. Japan's population, which began to shrink in 2012, continues declining at an average annual rate of 0.4% from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case. Moreover, Japan's working-age population began to decline in the mid-1990s [18]. Combining the demographic trends with relatively slow growth in Japan's capital stock and moderate increases in productivity results in the low projected rate of GDP growth from 2012 to 2040.
South Korea's economy grows by 2.1%/year on average in the IEO2016 Reference case, with its population growth (like Japan's) slowing over the projection period to an average of 0.2%/year, and the working age population beginning to decline after 2015. Increases in the country's capital stock and productivity do not make up for these demographic factors, even though capital investment remains an important part of its real GDP growth.
In Australia and New Zealand, long-term growth prospects are also relatively healthy, given their consistent track records of fiscal prudence and structural reforms aimed at maintaining competitive product and flexible labor markets. Geographically, the two countries are well positioned to benefit from export market opportunities in emerging Asian countries; however, their aging populations may be one barrier to higher rates of economic growth in the medium to long term. In the IEO2016 Reference case, the combined GDP of Australia and New Zealand grows by an average of 2.6%/year from 2012 to 2040.
Non-OECD economies
Real GDP growth from 2012 to 2040 in the combined non-OECD region averages 4.2%/year in the IEO2016 Reference case (Figure 1-10). Investment and exports support GDP increases in the near term, although slower growth in the advanced economies and the potential for inflation are concerns. In the medium to long term, population growth, the potential for technological advancement, and lower debt levels help to support faster economic expansion in the non-OECD region. Achieving faster economic growth will require additional infrastructure investment and improvements in regulatory and financial institutions.
India has the world's fastest-growing economy in the IEO2016 Reference case, averaging 5.5%/year from 2012 to 2040. In the shorter term, the combination of lower interest rates and moderate inflation supports increases in both consumption and investment. Additional structural reforms—such as ending regulatory impediments to the consolidation of labor-intensive industries, reforming labor markets and bankruptcy terms, and liberalizing agricultural and trade practices—will be essential for achieving the projected GDP growth rates over the longer term.
China's economic growth in 2014 was its lowest in 24 years, and it continues to slow in the IEO2016 Reference case with an average growth rate of 4.7%/year from 2012 to 2040. The slower economic growth is in part the result of demographics—China has an aging population and shrinking work force—accompanied by a slower rate of productivity that fails to make up for lower levels of investment. The fate of nonperforming loans, and the extent to which reforms are allowed to influence state-owned enterprises, both are key uncertainties in the projection for China's GDP growth. On the other hand, China's economy is expected to undergo a transition over the 2012–40 period, from being dominated by investment to achieving a better balance between consumption and investment.
Many of the other economies of non-OECD Asia have benefited from trade ties with—and are largely reliant on—China. For those that depend on exports (including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, and Taiwan), China's slowing economy is likely to slow their GDP growth in the near term. However, many non-OECD Asia countries also trade heavily with the United States, Japan, and OECD Europe, and as a result their economic performance is intertwined with demand from the advanced economies. In the long term, growth prospects in non-OECD Asia remain favorable. Excluding China and India, real GDP in non-OECD Asia grows by an average of 4.1%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case.
In Russia, lower oil prices and sanctions have substantially reduced the short-term prospect for economic growth. Russia also faces challenges in the longer term related to the continuing shrinkage of its labor force and population, and to the need for diversification of its economy away from its current heavy reliance on energy exports. Additionally, reforms in labor markets and state-owned enterprises will be important for long-term growth. In the IEO2016 Reference case, Russia's economy grows by an average of 2.0%/year from 2012 to 2040.
Exports also are an important component of GDP for the countries of Central Europe and the Balkans, especially given their large fiscal deficits. Banks and other entities in non-OECD Europe and Eurasia continue to face difficulties in gaining access to foreign loans, as many lending institutions have restricted cross-border loans. The restricted access to loans has lowered investment levels and may also affect future productivity. The effects were softened somewhat by higher world market prices for commodity exports over the past several years, but recent declines may slow growth in the near term. In the longer term, these countries have the potential for faster economic expansion, and economic growth in the non-OECD Europe and Eurasia region (excluding Russia) averages 3.7%/year from 2012 to 2040.
Projected growth of real GDP in Brazil in IEO2016 averages 2.4%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the Reference case. This is a relatively slow rate of growth, especially for a developing country, reflecting both current economic weakness and questions about future growth. There is little doubt that Brazil has the consumers to generate demand for goods and services, but the supply side of its economy appears to constrain economic growth. Structural reforms, particularly to state-owned enterprises and labor markets, will be important for Brazil to generate long-term growth.
Outside Brazil, investment in the non-OECD Americas is constrained by policy uncertainty, and commodity exports are not expected to provide the level of government revenue that they have in the recent past. The proximity of the region to the United States and the trade relationships of its national economies with the U.S. economy suggest that the region's growth will be linked, in part, to that of the United States. Most countries in the region have flexible exchange rates, positive trade balances, and relatively low fiscal deficits and public debts. Regional inflation is lower than it was in the mid-1990s, and a relatively young labor force supports the region's economic growth prospects. Real GDP in the non-OECD Americas (excluding Brazil) increases by an average of 2.8%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case.
Africa's combined real GDP increases by 4.8%/year on average from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case. However, economic prospects for African countries vary widely across the continent. Africa is rich in natural resources, including oil, natural gas, and coal. Overall, the region has a relatively young population, with potential for labor force growth. Except for South Africa, many sub-Saharan African countries have seen recent annual growth rates between 4% and 10%, with Ethiopia experiencing the highest growth in 2013, at 10.4% [19]. Expanding domestic markets and increasing regional integration will support long-term growth, although Africa faces many challenges. Oil exports from northern Africa and most of sub-Saharan Africa are slowing because of lower world oil prices. Moreover, both economic and political factors—such as low savings and investment rates, lack of strong economic and political institutions, limited quantity and quality of infrastructure and human capital, negative perceptions on the part of international investors, protracted civil unrest and political disturbances, and the impacts of various diseases—present formidable obstacles to the economies of some African countries.
Economic growth in the Middle East region averages 3.7%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the IEO2016 Reference case. This region is challenged by continuing geopolitical instability that discourages foreign investment, as well as heavy reliance on commodity exports for economic growth. In recent years, rising oil production and prices have helped to boost economic growth in the oil-exporting countries of the Middle East, many of which have also benefited from spillover effects on trade, tourism, and financial flows from the region's oil exports. In the short run, political instabilities combined with lower expected oil revenues are likely to constrain growth. Over the long run, however, robust population growth, combined with the potential for rising oil prices and rebounding demand for the region's export commodities, create favorable prospects for economic growth in the Middle East. The medium to long term still presents many challenges. Political turmoil and domestic unrest threaten to depress consumer confidence and investment. Training and educating the labor force, and the dependence of many Middle East countries on commodity exports for growth, also are key challenges for regional economic growth prospects, with reliance on oil and natural gas revenues continuing through much of the projection period.
Alternative cases in IEO2016
Alternative economic growth cases
Expectations for future rates of economic growth are a major source of uncertainty in the IEO2016 projections. To illustrate the uncertainties associated with economic growth trends, IEO2016 includes a High Economic Growth case and a Low Economic Growth case in addition to the Reference case. The two alternative growth cases use different assumptions about future economic growth paths, while maintaining the oil price path of the IEO2016 Reference case.
In the High Economic Growth case, real GDP in the OECD increases by 2.3%/year from 2012 to 2040, as compared with 2.0%/year in the Reference case. Similarly, the High Economic Growth case assumes GDP growth of 4.5%/year in the non-OECD region as a whole, compared with 4.2%/year in the Reference case. In the Low Economic Growth case, OECD GDP increases by 1.6%/year, or 0.4 percentage points lower than in the Reference case. GDP growth in the non-OECD region is assumed to average 3.9%/year in the Low Economic Growth case, or 0.3 percentage points lower than in the Reference case.
In the IEO2016 Reference case, world energy consumption totals 815 quadrillion Btu in 2040—282 quadrillion Btu in the OECD countries and 533 quadrillion Btu in the non-OECD countries. In the High Economic Growth case, world energy use in 2040 is 862 quadrillion Btu—47 quadrillion Btu (about 24 million barrels oil equivalent per day) higher than in the Reference case (Figure 1-11). In the Low Economic Growth Case, world energy use in 2040 totals 764 quadrillion Btu—51 quadrillion Btu (about 25 million barrels oil equivalent per day) lower than in the Reference case. Thus, the projections for 2040 in the High and Low Economic Growth cases span a range of uncertainty equal to 98 quadrillion Btu, which is roughly equal to total U.S. energy consumption in 2012.
Alternative oil price cases
Expectations for future world oil prices are another key source of uncertainty in the IEO2016 projections. To illustrate the uncertainties associated with future oil prices, IEO2016 includes a Low Oil Price case and a High Oil Price case in addition to the Reference case. The two alternative oil price cases use different assumptions about future oil prices, based on four key factors: Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) investment and production decisions; the economics of non-OPEC petroleum liquids supply; the economics of other liquids supply; and world demand for petroleum and other liquids. Each case represents one of many possible combinations of supply and demand that would result in the same price path.
Real oil prices (in 2013 dollars) have fallen precipitously since 2011, from about $115 per barrel to about $50 per barrel in 2015 (according to EIA's March 2016 Short-Term Energy Outlook). Prices are expected to recover over the course of the projection period, reaching $141 per barrel in 2040. Total world spending on oil grows 1.6%/year over the projection, well below the 3.3%/year rate of income growth over the same period, suggesting that a smaller share of income would be required to cover consumer oil needs. The IEO2016 Reference case reflects mid-range expectations for exploration and development costs and accessibility of oil resources. The Reference case also assumes that OPEC producers will choose to maintain their share at 39% to 43% of the global liquid fuels market. In the Reference case, OECD consumption of petroleum and other liquids increases from 45.5 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2012 to 46.1 million b/d in 2040, and non-OECD consumption of petroleum and other liquids increases from 44.8 b/d to 74.8 million b/d. Total energy consumption in the Reference case rises to 815 quadrillion Btu in 2040.
In the Low Oil Price case, crude oil prices are $76 per barrel (2013 dollars) in 2040. GDP growth in the non-OECD countries averages 3.9%/year from 2012 to 2040, compared with Reference case growth of 4.2%/year. A combination of lower economic activity and lower prices results in a level of non-OECD liquid fuels consumption in 2040 close to that in the Reference case. Even in a scenario assuming low economic growth (which translates to lower energy demand, with non-OECD energy demand in 2040 24 quadrillion Btu lower than in the Reference case), the lower prices encourage consumers to use relatively cheap liquid fuels rather than other forms of energy.
In contrast to the non-OECD, economic growth in the OECD regions is essentially the same in the Low Oil Price case as in the Reference case, and total OECD energy consumption in 2040 also is about the same as in the Reference case. However, lower oil prices encourage consumers to use more liquid fuels. OECD nations consume 48.4 million b/d of oil in 2040 in the Low Oil Price case, compared to 46.1 million b/d in the Reference case.
On the supply side, production in OPEC countries is above the Reference case level in the Low Oil Price case, obtaining a 48% share of total world petroleum and other liquids production in 2040. Oil production in the non-OPEC countries is lower than in the Reference case, however, because their more expensive resources cannot be brought to market economically.
In the High Oil Price case, oil prices increase to $252 per barrel (2013 dollars) in 2040. GDP growth in the non-OECD countries averages 4.5%/year from 2012 to 2040 in the High Oil Price case, compared with 4.2%/year in the Reference case. The combination of high economic activity and high prices results in non-OECD liquids consumption that is about the same as in the Reference case (Figure 1-12). Although higher economic activity increases non-OECD demand for total energy (total non-OECD energy consumption is about 32 quadrillion Btu higher in the High Oil Price case than in the Reference case), the higher costs for liquid fuels encourage consumers to use other energy sources.
OECD economic growth in the High Oil Price case is unchanged from the Reference case, and as a result total energy demand is similar in the two cases. The higher oil prices, combined with the same level of economic activity as in the IEO2016 Reference case, cause OECD consumers to implement improved efficiency measures and switch to less expensive fuels where possible. In 2040, OECD regions consume 44.1 million b/d in the High Oil Price case, compared with 46.1 million b/d in the Reference case. On the supply side, oil production in the OPEC countries is lower in the High Oil Price case, and their market share declines to 34% in 2040. However, higher world oil prices allow non-OPEC countries to increase production from resources that are more expensive to produce, and the economics of nonpetroleum liquids also benefit from the higher prices.

3 Remarks:
y[x]' should probably be typed as y'[x],
your BVP is singular, since it doesn't depend on y[x] at all, only
on y'[x]: So by converting it to a 1st order system by
u = y'
you obtain an overdetermined boundary value problem for the first

a u' - b u + f(x) == 0
u(0) ==0,
u(e) ==0.
and no BC at all for u.
The problem could be solved analytically.
Good luck

While today's launch of the Samsung i8910 has meant there's a new spec leader on the market, those of you with smaller budgets will be amazed at the features Nokia has managed to squeeze into its latest budget handset.
The '6600i slide' will launch in the third quarter this year and comes with a sim-free price of just $272 (a mere £175 even with our lousy exchange rate) yet it packs in hardware that would have been cutting edge only 12 months ago.
Key most in this assessment is the inclusion of not just HSDPA data connectivity but also a five megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash and a hidden external touchscreen which allows users to silence alarms or reject calls without opening the handset. Furthermore, both black and silver editions of the 6600i are finished in brushed metal, they will come loaded with Nokia's Ovi Store and support for 16GB compatible microSD cards with a 1GBer bundled in the box.
The backbone of the 6600i is a Series 40 OS, which means it should be solid as a rock. So, while everyone crows about impending high end handsets like the aforementioned i8910, Palm Pre or whatever Apple has cooked up for the next generation iPhone, this could well prove one of the smartest buys you could make.

Morgenthaler, N.G., Tremble, J., Huang, G., Scherbaum, W.A., McGregor, A.M. and Banga, J.P.
Notes: The full-length and extracellular region of the human TSH-R (TSH-R and TSH-R.E, respectively) were expressed in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence of [35S]methionine. First, immunoprecipitation was performed to the proteins with one rabbit polyclonal antiserum and three murine antibodies that recognize 3 different determinants on the proteins. From the full-length receptor, the antibodies recognize the 97kDa as well as other smaller bands. The TSH-R was also immunoprecipitated with sera from Graves' Disease patients. The majority of sera precipitated the TSH-R 97kDa and TSH-R.E 50kDa proteins, with some sera precipitating other, smaller proteins. There was variability in strength between different samples. (1773)

Notes: PTT was used to rapidly screen the BRCA1 gene. Transcription and translation was performed on five overlapping fragments (amplified by PCR) of the entire coding region of the BRCA1 cDNA or genomic DNA using the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. (1144)
Lancaster, J.M., Wooster, R., Mangion, J., Phelan, C.M., Cochran, C., Gumbs, C., Seal, S., Barfoot, R., Collins, N., Bignell, G., Patel, S., Hamoudi, R., Larsson, C., Wiseman, R.W., Berchuck, A., Iglehart, J.D., Marks, J.R., Ashworth, A., Stratton, M.R., Futreal, P.A.
Notes: The protein truncation test was performed on PCR products from the BRCA2 gene. The PCR products were used in the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System to express the protein, and the protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. (0834)
Wetterwald, A., Hoffstetter, W., Cecchini, M.G., Lanske, B., Wagner, C., Fleisch, H. and Atkinson, M.
Notes: The E11 cDNA was transcribed and translated in vitro using the TNT® T3 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence of [35S]methionine. The protein was immunoprecipitated with mAb E11 and with a control IgG1 antibody. When the membrane was reacted with the mAb E11, the appropriate molecular weight bands were seen, verifying that the cDNA codes for E11. (1778)
Woods, A., Cheung, P.C., Smith, F.C., Davison, M.D., Scott, J., Beri, R.K. and Carling, D.
Notes: [35S]methionine-labeled AMPK (AMP activated protein kinase) subunits were cotranslated in vitro using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The proteins were co-immunoprecipitated and shown to associate in vitro. The results indicate that a ternary complex is formed between the alpha, beta and gamma subunits rather than a mixture of dimers. When the lysates were programmed without beta, the alpha and gamma did not co-immunoprecipitate. (1779)
Cui, L., Yu, W.P., DeAizpurua, H.J., Schmidli, R.S. and Pallen, C.J.
Notes: The IAR PTP protein (1015 residues) and the B11 protein (820 residues) were synthesized in the presence or absence of the Canine Microsomal Membranes. The predicted protein sequences contain one transmembrane domain. Proteinase K digestion in the presence or absence of Triton X-100 demonstrated the protection of a fragment consistent with the single membrane spanning domain. (1616)
Canine Pancreatic Microsomal Membranes
Kuiper, G.G., Enmark, E., Pelto Huikko, M., Nilsson, S., Gustafsson, J.A.
Notes: cDNAs were synthesized from rat prostate total RNA using primers to the most conserved regions of the DNA-binding domain and ligand-binding domain of the nuclear receptor family. Protein was synthesized from one clone using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and incubated with [3H]-labeled estradiol (E2) and various competitors. Only estrogens competed effectively with E2; therefore, the protein is probably an estrogen receptor. (0858)
Melki, R., Rommelaere, H., Leguy, R., Vandekerckhove, J. and Ampe, C.
Notes: [35S]methionine-labeled cofactor A was produced using the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The protein interacts with beta-tubulin monomer on a Superose® 6 gel-filtration column. In addition, Cofactor A binds native or quasinative beta-tubulin in folding buffer. (1785)
van den Bemd, G. C. , Pols, H. A. , Birkenhager, J. C. , van Leeuwen, J. P.
Notes: The VDR protein was translated in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence of [35S]methionine. The protein was incubated with various concentrations of hormones (1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3, OCT, KH1060, all-trans retinoic acid, progesterone, 17β-estradiol, thyroid hormone, and 9-cis retinoic acid) and then exposed to trypsin, chymotrypsin and proteinase K. (0215)
Dobbie, Z. , Spycher, M. , Mary, J. L. , Haner, M. , Guldenschuh, I. , Hurliman, R. , Amman, R. , Roth, J. , Muller, H. , Scott, R. J.
Notes: PCR was performed using primers to introduce a T7 promoter and a translation initiation sequence into PCR products used as templates in TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System reactions. Truncation mutations were detected in 12/26 FAP patients; however, 33% of confirmed protein truncations in APC were not detected using the protein truncation test (PTT). (1238)
van Kuppeveld, F.J., Galama, J.M., Zoll, J., van den Hurk, P.J. and Melchers, W.J.
Notes: Mutations were generated in the amphipathic helix of CBV3 protein 2B. RNA transcripts of CBV3 protein 2B were synthesized and translated in TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System supplemented with 20% HeLa cell initiation factors, to see if mutations affected polyprotein synthesis and processing. None of the mutations affected polyprotein processing. (1918)
Weiler, M.C., Smith, J.L. and Masters, J.N.
Notes: The TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System was used to produce [35S]methionine-labeled CR16 protein. The labeled protein was incubated with a GST-fusion of SH3 immobilized on glutathione agarose and a directed interaction was determined. (1534)
Schoots, O., Sanyal, S., Guan, H.C., Jovanovic, V., Van Tol, H.H.
Notes: The TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System used an alternative initiation codon when translating 5´ deletion mutants of the human D4 receptor. This result suggests that an amino-terminal truncated D4 receptor might exist in vivo and that the amino terminus may stabilize the active state of the receptor. (0415)
Wheat Germ Extract
Na, S., Chuang, T.H., Cunningham, A., Turi, T.G., Hanke, J.H., Bokoch, G.M. and Danley, D.E.
Notes: Wild type and mutant D4-GDI were expressed in the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and labeled with [35S]methionine. The protein was then incubated with bacterially expressed CPP32, the apoptosis protease. The wild type protein was cleaved into a fragment of the same size as that seen in vivo, but an Asp19 to Asn mutation in D4-GDI blocked the cleavage event. (2041)
Smith, J., Scotland, G., Beattie, J., Trayer, I., Houslay, M.
Notes: Chimeric in-frame fusion proteins of the N-terminal portion of different mutants of RD1 and the N-terminal region of CAT were produced using the TNT® SP6 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The chimeric protein was added to COS cell membranes and checked for membrane association. This work, coupled with structural studies, allowed for the identification of the N-terminal splice region that confers membrane targeting upon RD1. (1787)
Van de Wetering, M., Castrop, J., Korinek, V. and Clevers, H.
Notes: TCF-1 proteins were produced using the TNT® SP6 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. TCF-1 proteins were used in gel retardation assays, which showed that the extended TCF-1 N-terminus does not reconstitute an intramolecular DNA-binding inhibition domain. (1817)
Johannsson, O., Ostermeyer, E.A., Hakansson, S., Friedman, L.S., Johansson, U., Sellberg, G., Brondum Nielsen, K., Sele, V., Olsson, H., King, M.C., Borg, A.
Notes: Nine germline mutations in BRCA1 were identified by use of the SSCP and heteroduplex analysis (HA) and by the PTT of exon 11 of BRCA1. PTT was performed using the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. Six of the truncation mutations were detected by PTT including two cases that were not detected by HA. (0984)
Tuffery, S., Bareil, C., Demaille, J., Claustres, M.
Notes: The combination of RT-PCR and PTT were used to detect novel mutations in 4/6 DMD patients. The PTT analysis was performed using the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. (0243)
Bacsi, S. and Hankinson, O.
Notes: AHR and ARNT, as well as their mutant derivatives, were expressed in the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence or the absence of [35S]methionine. The radiolabeled AHR and ARNT were mixed with equimolar amounts of mutant ARNT and AHR, respectively. Immunoprecipitation was performed, and all AHR mutants dimerized with ARNT as efficiently as wild type AHR. (1758)
Ni, M. , Dehesh, K. , Tepperman, J. M. , Quail, P. H.
Notes: C-terminal and N-terminal GT-2 deletion mutant proteins as well as site-directed GT-2 mutant proteins were synthesized from PCR templates using the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. Polypeptide segments in the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of GT-2 were analyzed for differential DNA binding to GT-box target sites. (0609)
Tucker, S.J., Pessia, M., Moorhouse, A.J., Gribble, F., Ashcroft, F.M., Maylie, J., Adelman, J.P.
Notes: In vitro translated Kir protein was produced from the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and used to verify antibody detection and specificity in Western blots. (0242)
Klebanow, E.R., Poon, D., Zhou, S. and Weil, P.A.
Notes: [35S]labeled FR-19B (FGF-regulated 19B) protein was transcribed using the T7 RNA polymerase and translated in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. A gel shift assay was performed with these proteins and double-stranded oligo from the SV40 enhancer. The results indicate that FR-19B specifically binds to the GT-IIC motif. (1804)
T7 RNA Polymerase
Bocco, J.L., Bahr, A., Goetz, J., Hauss, C., Kallunki, T., Kedinger, C. and Chatton, B.
Notes: SAPK proteins were synthesized using the TNT® T3 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. These proteins were incubated with GST-cJun or GST-ATFa fusion proteins. The results demonstrate that the SAPKs interact with ATFa and c-Jun in vitro. (1749)
Sud, R., Talbot, I.C., Delhanty, J.D.
Notes: SSCP and heteroduplex analysis were used to screen exons of APC from gastric cancer lines; in addition, protein truncation test (PTT) was used to screen the MCR (mutation cluster region) of exon 15. The template was produced by PCR of genomic MCR DNA and used in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence of 35S methionine. (0309)
TnT® T7/SP6 Coupled Wheat Germ Extract System
Waring , J.D., Haq, R., Tamai, K., Sabourin, L.A., Ikeda, J.-E. and Korneluk, R.G.
Notes: The MyoD kinase was translated using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence or absence of the microsomes. No change in mobility was noted for the MyoD kinase but the a-factor control did get glycosylated. The MyoD kinase did not gain protection from proteinase K but the a-factor was fully protected. (1604)

There was so much new on the Audi stand this week at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland that we almost forgot about this particular piece of news. Then we got back from dinner (Geneva Mean Time) and saw news from the States about the iPad 4G announcement and this bumped up to our top story.
This new system was fitted to the new Audi A6 allroad,
Also out testing this week is what appears to be the next-generation A6 allroad. The mule is so heavily camouflaged unlike the shot of the one testing in South America several weeks ago, one might have mistaken it for an A6... but my camouflage an A6 Avant when that's already been seen? The answer of course is that this is an allroad. We've compared these new

"This was just the card we needed to send to family and friends for my son's graduation presents. I only used a photo with the words thank you on the front on the card. It was tasteful and just the right look."
"I ordered this thank you for my daughters first birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The quality was amazing and everyone just loved them."
"They look beautiful. I ordered thank you cards, but loved that I could change the caption to something more general and appropriate for my present."
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."
"I made these cards to express my joy and gratitude for a special birthday gathering. The cards are easy to design and of great quality. Delivery was very fast also."

I am a fan and detractor of Twitter both at the same time. Remember, I'm a centrist so I can do that.
Twitter won?
Did Twitter win microblogging? Hello no. Twitter won just like MySpace won social networking… just like Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, Infoseek and Altavista were the winners who were fighting for search marketshare and AOL as an ISP. Twitter has first mover advantage and huge barriers to entry with its name on TV and every catalog in America. But it can still lose. MySpace is rarely spoken of in social networking outside of music. Yahoo is shutting down its search engine this summer (and wasn't a search engine at all in 1999 when I joined GoTo.com) and taking the remains of Altavista with it. How many people reading this even remember Lycos, Excite and Infoseek? And AOL… don't get me started.
Twitter apps
I've been known to criticize Twitter (and offer suggestions for improvement) for its lack of innovation. Twitter is a company that has trouble keeping its website up. Innovation on its website has been finally adding a Retweet system that many people don't use in place of the user-initiated convention of the RT. There is a Twitter-made app for the Blackberry but not the iPhone or Android.
In flies Tweetie
The big news yesterday was that Twitter bought Tweetie, a company of two employees (well, an owner and one employee). One of the strangest things about this was that Twitter announced its acquisition at 6:15pm on a Friday. Um, if you close a deal late on Friday don't you wait until Monday to announce it? Or was @Ev trying to hide it with the trash?
Why has Twitter been unable or unwilling to offer apps for the iPhone and Android. Over $100,000,000 in the bank and Twitter bought a 2-person company to do what it couldn't? Build often makes sense but why can't Twitter innovate on its own platform?
Good news or bad news for app developers?
The debate raging now is whether the Tweetie acquisition is good news or bad news for app developers? I would say it is tragic for Twitter app developers but good news for developers with anything that is outside of the evolutionary path of any companies that have closed platforms.
A few years ago I built statustalker with Craig Ogg and Keith Bussell. It was a Facebook app to allow people to comment on their friends' statuses. Crazy, huh? The biggest flaw was that it couldn't be inline with the status. Most people thought it was silly to comment on other people's statuses at first. The other big problem was that Facebook could (and we figured would) steal it. It was a logical and necessary step in Facebook's evolution. Now can you imagine Facebook without the ability to comment on your friends' statuses?
Think about all of the Twitter apps like Twidroid (the one I use on Android), Seemic, etc. Dead. How about Twitpic and the other apps/sites for uploading pics to Twitter? Dead.
If you want to create Twitter app, make sure it doesn't rely on functionality that Twitter should have or that Twitter can easily replicate and give away for free.
Apps that work
Forgetting that Zynga was built on a complete lack of ethics and shameful monetization tactics, Farmville is a great app. I don't mean that it is an app that I will ever have a desire to use. It is a great app because there is no reason for Facebook to try to build it itself. It is not basic social networking functionality. Worrying about competitors is much better than worrying about the owner of the platform you rely on.
Scrabble is another great app (and the only Facebook app I use) and easily protected based not just on its brand recognition but more importantly Hasbro's trademark on the game.
A Facebook app to not build
I have another Facebook app idea and I will tell everyone outside of Facebook to avoid it: Facebook Group Reader. Facebook groups suck because there is no easy way to monitor or organize them. Plus, there is no way to do that in the API. If course, if Facebook were to open it up, I'd say any apps that achieve initial success as a Facebook group reader will find themselves replaced by the functionality native to Facebook.
Twitter 2.0?
What should you build as a Twitter app developer? That's a great question. Is there some functionality that can be built that is somehow protectable or that can guarantee being bought by Twitter? I'd say you're better off building iPhone, iPad and Android apps where there isn't an owner of the platform.
I've been thinking about Twitter 2.0 for a few months. Can some be the Facebook of microblogging to turn Twitter into MySpace? It's possible. Of course, if Twitter bothers to listen to @davewiner and forget about fitting into the confines of SMS, then Twitter will be an amazing platform and will protect itself from many challengers.
Of course there is always Google which could get Google Buzz right in its second try. Only time will tell.

I'm hoping one of you clever coders can help me with this please.
The masthead on my site takes up the entire width of the page, this is unnecessary on my site and I would like to reduce the width of it and move it to the left leaving me with enough space to place a 468 x 60 ad on the right hand side. I use DFP to deliver my ads so I will have a code snippet for that.
I've done a mock up so you can see what I'm talking about.
This is what it looks like now;

Slippery Roads Could Be in the Forecast
Cold and wet weather that is hitting most of the country could bring slippery road conditions to Houston.
So, what can you do to make sure you are ready for slippery roads? Kurt Spitzner is with Bridgestone Tire's Winter Driving School, he says the first thing you need to consider during bad weather is whether you need to drive, "The first thing I always say is sit back for a minute and think about how important this trip across town or down the street or whereever, is at this particular moment."
Spitzner adds that if the road conditions change fast and you are already on the roads you need to allow greater space around your car, that means not following the car in front so close. Spitzner also says if the roads are slippery you should only ask your tires to do one thing at a time, "If your going to brake, just brake in a straight line whenever possible. If you are going to be cornering, don't be touching the brakes while you are in the middle of a corner. Just commit whatever grip you do have to doing one task."
Spitzner also says people need to be wary of areas that freeze first, like shaded areas and overpasses. The Bridgestone Tire Winter Driving School also recommends that people make sure their tires are in good conditions before the bad weather hits.

It's a post-apocalyptic world, several years after whatever the cataclysmic event, which has in turn caused frequent quakes as further potential hazards. The world is gray and getting quickly grayer as more and more things die off. A man and his pre-teen son, who was born after the apocalypse, are currently on the road, their plan to walk to the coast and head south where the man hopes there will be a more hospitable environment in which to live. The man has taught his son that they are the "good people" who have fire in their hearts, which in combination largely means that they will not resort to cannibalism to survive. The man owns a pistol with two bullets remaining, which he will use for murder/suicide of him and his son if he feels that that is a better fate for them than life in the alternative. Food and fuel are for what everyone is looking. The man has taught his son to be suspect of everyone that they may meet, these strangers who, out of desperation, may not only try to …

The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace. 1 Pet. 4:7-10
Dear Jesus, may Peter's words sink and settle deep into my heart today. If I really believed "the end of all things is at hand"—if really believed your return could happen within my lifetime—if I really believed you are coming back to make all things new, of course it should make a significant impact on how I live and love, the rest of my days in this world.
Whenever we attend a funeral, we always go away with a sense of our mortality and the fragility of life, at least for a few days. We hug loved ones a little tighter and linger a little longer in conversations. But then it's "back to normal," and our usual patterns in relationships return.
Rather than covering sins, we get irritated with one another's sins. Rather than welcoming one another without grumbling, we guard our own space with complaining. Rather than using the things you give us to serve each other, we look for ways to satisfy ourselves. Rather than administering your "varied grace" to one another; too easily, we withhold it from each other. Yet, "the end of all things is near." Lord, have mercy on me, the sinner.
Jesus, I don't want to love with a view to another funeral but with a view of your second coming—actually, with a view of everything you are, and everything you've already accomplished. I don't want to love to get anything from people, but because everything I really need I have in you.
You're the one Peter was thinking about when he wrote these words. Indeed, you're the one who loves us deeply. You haven't just covered a "multitude of our sins," you died and atoned for ALL of our sins. You always offer us hospitality without grumbling. You serve us gladly and endlessly—giving us grace upon grace upon grace.
Jesus, whether you return in the next fifteen minutes or wait fifteen hundred years, may you live in us and love through us, with minim resistance on our part. So very Amen we pray, in your loving and wonder-full name.

Siemens AG is collaborating with Microsoft Corp. to integrate telephony-based services into real-time communications applications.
The German company, better known for its enterprise and carrier network equipment, is developing a software platform that adds fixed-line telephony, cellular and wireless capabilities to new presence and collaboration-driven applications supported by Microsoft's soon-to-be-launched RTC Server 2003 software, said Bernd Kuhlin, president of the enterprise networks unit at Siemens, Thursday in Munich at a real-time communications event co-hosted with the U.S. software company.
Siemens' OpenScape is a new software platform under development that will sit on top of Microsoft's new real-time server software running on Windows Server 2003 technology, according to Kuhlin. The OpenScape system, he said, will support a wealth of real-time voice, video and wireless communications, messaging services such as e-mail, voicemail and SMS (Short Message Service) and a range of calendaring and collaboration applications from Web conferencing and whiteboarding to document sharing.
A beta version of OpenScape is expected later this year, "shortly after Microsoft has launched its new real-time communications server product," Kuhlin said.
The two companies are approaching the market from opposite directions, according to a Microsoft representative. "We're really coming from different sides of the market, Microsoft on the server side, Siemens on the telephony side," said Andrew Sinclair, group manager of the real-time collaboration group at Microsoft. "There is a joining of forces in the middle."
The collaboration with Siemens isn't exclusive, said Anoop Gupta, corporate vice president of Microsoft's real-time communications group. "We're a company that likes to partner, so we expect to work with other vendors in this area."
That said, companies like Siemens that are developing products now, will have an edge, according to Sinclair. "Our collaboration with Siemens is really about time to market, and Siemens is definitely moving quickly," Sinclair said.
