Thirty finalists were selected. From this initial selection, a group of communication experts from across Europe chose a winner in each category (photography, videos and cartoons), and selected an additional winner of the 'youth prize', open to all entrants between the ages of 18 and 24. The public also voted for their favourite finalist in an online poll. All five winners will receive a cash prize of €500.
The finalists' entries will be promoted throughout 2014 in EEA publications and events related to the topic of waste and resource use. And the winners are…
Once above ground, the minerals are brought to towns such as Ndjingala, Osakari and Mubi. The carriers walk the 90 kilometres in two days, bearing as much as 50 kilos each. Every day 600 carriers come out of the woods with a total of 30 tonnes of minerals.
Cassiterite from Bisie is bought by middlemen linked to exporters and international traders who sell the ore on to smelters on the open market. At the smelters, the tin is refined and sold either directly to solder manufacturers, or through international metal exchanges. Finally, tin solder is sold to manufacturers for use in the production of electronic gadgets.
"The first time I crawled down the hole — I could not stay for very long. I wasn't used to the heat, so I could only stay for two hours down there. Again and again I had to go down, work a lot and then come up again. It was very hot, and I couldn't handle it. I ran away from Bisie mine during a massacre. But I didn't achieve my dream — so now I came back home to finish school."
The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) calls the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) one of the most important centres for biodiversity in the world. WWF says the challenge is to preserve the forests of the Congo, their species and the carbon sequestrated in the swamp forests while improving the livelihoods of the Congolese people.
This is a global challenge. In its Millennium Development Goals Report 2005, the United Nations states that 'despite the many benefits of globalisation, nearly half the world's 2.8 billion workers still live on less than USD 2 a day. More than 500 million of these workers subsist on half that much. It goes on to say that "reducing poverty will require more jobs and more productive employment."

]]>The tribal people living in the forest here have a lot to lose and little to gain. The forest tribes are not well protected — their rights have never been set down or properly recognised. In a small tribal village deep in the forests covering the district of Gajapati, married couple Gangi Bhuyan and her husband Sukru Bhuyan live with their young family in and around the forest.
For about five months of the year they feed their family from the less than half acre plot of land they cultivate on the verge of the forest that surrounds Raibada, their village. During this time they also harvest vegetables, seeds, fruit, medicine and building materials (such as grass) from the forest. For a further four months, this is their main supply of food. Without the forest they would starve. For the remaining three months they are forced to migrate to large urban areas such as Bangalore or Mumbai where they work as labourers.
Orissa, located in peninsular east India on the Bay of Bengal, is richly endowed with a variety of minerals. Indeed the state is regarded as one of the most resource-rich states in the country. In terms of quality, the minerals found in Orissa are considered among the best in the world.
With its abundance of largely unexplored reserves of coal, iron ore, bauxite, chromite, limestone, dolomite, manganese, granite, tin, nickel, vanadium and gemstones, the state is experiencing a huge leap in industrialisation. For a few minerals Orissa also constitutes a significant share of world reserves, not just in terms of quantity but also quality. That is why international companies are queuing up to gain access.
Some of the minerals are used in India but a sizeable amount go elsewhere: China, Japan, South Africa, Russia, Korea, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ukraine, Nepal, USA and of course, the European Union (Ota, A.B., 2006).
Orissa, with its combination of wealth in the ground and poverty above it, illustrates several fault lines of our global world. Here inequality, the relentless drive for natural resources and forced migrations come together. While mining in Orissa does bring economic benefits to the area, these returns are not shared equally. For the forest tribes the cost is high because their homes are in jeopardy as mining companies increasingly seek to gain access to their land.
Sixty per cent of Orissa's tribal populations live on land below which mineral wealth is buried. Traditionally, however, they have no record of rights over this land. Displacement of tribal people to enable economic development projects, including mining activities, has happened for some time. But the scale of the displacement has changed in recent decades, with economic developments since 1991 increasing the number and spread of displacements (Ota, A.B., 2006).
In Europe, we rely heavily on natural resources to fuel our economic development and wealth. Our use of resources now exceeds local availability and we increasingly depend on resources from elsewhere in the world.
In fact more than 20 % of the raw materials we use in Europe are imported. And we use significantly more raw materials indirectly as we also import finished goods made elsewhere.
Our reliance on imports is particularly serious with regard to fuels and mining products. But Europe is also a net importer of fodder and cereals for European meat and dairy production. And more than half of EU fish supplies are imported; having depleted our own fish stocks, we are now doing the same elsewhere.
The environmental pressures related to extracting resources and producing traded goods — such as the waste generated, or water and energy used — affect the countries of origin. The resource impacts can be significant — in the case of computers or mobile phones they may be on a scale several orders of magnitude greater than the product itself. Yet, despite their importance, such pressures are seldom reflected in prices or other signals that guide consumer decision-making.
Another example of the natural resources embedded in traded products is the water required in growing regions for many exported food and fibre products. Such production results in an indirect and often implicit export of water resources. For example, 84 % of the EU's cotton-related water use lies outside the EU, mostly in water-scarce regions with intensive irrigation.

Natural resource use links to a range of environmental and socio-economic issues. The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB process) — a major analysis of the global economic significance of biodiversity — sheds light on the links between biodiversity loss and poverty.
TEEB researchers sought to identify the immediate beneficiaries of many of the services of ecosystems and biodiversity. 'The answer', writes Pavan Sukhdev, Head of the UNEP Green Economy Initiative, 'is that it is mostly the poor. The livelihoods most affected are subsistence farming, animal husbandry, fishing and informal forestry — most of the world's poor are dependent on them (EC, 2008).
The impact of the loss of biodiversity in India also has serious implications for women as it severely affects their role as forest gatherers. Studies in the tribal regions of Orissa and Chattisgarh, have recorded how deforestation has resulted in loss of livelihoods, in women having to walk four times the distance to collect forest produce and in their inability to access medicinal herbs which have been depleted. This loss reduces income, increases drudgery and affects physical health. There is also evidence to show that the relative status of women within the family is higher in well-forested villages, where their contribution to the household income is greater than in villages that lack natural resources (Sarojini Thakur, 2008).
In Europe, we are often insulated from the direct impacts of environmental degradation — at least in the short term. But for poor people directly reliant on the environment for food and shelter, the effects can be severe. The weakest in society are often bear the greatest burden from the destruction of natural systems, while deriving few, if any, of the benefits.
Annual natural capital losses are typically estimated at an unimpressive few percentage points of GDP. If, however, we re-express these in human terms, based on the principle of equity and our knowledge of where nature's benefits flow — i.e. to the poor — then the argument for reducing such losses gains considerable strength.
This point applies around the globe. It is about the right of the world's poor to livelihood flows from nature which comprise half of their welfare or more, and which they would find it impossible to replace (EC, 2008).
The concepts of 'natural capital' and 'ecosystem services' are at the heart of discussions about humankind's relationship with the environment. To understand them, it's useful to consider what natural systems actually do for us.
Take forests, for example. Forests can provide all sorts of food: fruit, honey, mushrooms, meat and so on. If properly managed, they can also deliver a sustainable flow of resources such as wood to the economy. But forests do a lot more too. For example, trees and vegetation help ensure a healthy climate locally and globally by absorbing pollutants and greenhouse gases. Forest soils decompose wastes and purify water. And people often travel far to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of forests, or to engage in pastimes such as hunting.
All of these services — providing food and fibre, regulating the climate and so on — are valuable. We would pay a lot for machines that could do the same thing. For that reason, we should think of ecosystems as a form of capital, which provides services to the owner but often also to other people nearby and far off (as in the case of climate regulation). Crucially, we need to maintain our natural capital — not overexploiting the ecosystem and not over-polluting — if it is to continue providing these hugely valuable services.
The primary reason for losing forest biodiversity is that its value is not well understood. For example the decision to convert one hectare of forest rich in biodiversity for agriculture or construction is usually based on the immediate benefits. Little attention is paid to the many non-measurable ecological services provided by these ecosystems.
Medicine in India's forests
In addition to rich flora and fauna, India also has one of the world's richest medicinal plant heritages. As many as 8 000 species of plants are regularly used as medicine by the people of India with 90–95 % coming from forests. Less than 2 000 of these plants are officially documented in the Indian system of medicine. Information on the rest is undocumented and transmitted by word of mouth and as traditional knowledge. Only 49 species are used in modern medicine.
Biodiversity is a form of insurance against human disease — a bank of knowledge holding potential cures for diseases such as cancer or AIDS. For example, the bark of the cinchona tree contains a drug used to fight malaria. Critically, we are often ignorant of society's loss when a species becomes extinct.
This section is based on the report Green accounting for Indian states project: the value of biodiversity in India's forests (Gundimeda et al., 2006)
Globalisation is often characterised by movement — of people, goods, wealth and knowledge, for example. Standing still or staying put is not generally counted among the human rights we prioritise. But the forest people of Orissa and many others often crave just that: to be able to stay where they are, where they have food and shelter and contacts with their family and tribal relations. Where generations have felt safe and secure.
Indeed, as a tide of peoples moves towards cities and urban areas we should be thinking about empowering people to stay where they are.
]]>The eruption clearly illustrated the connectivity between some of the key systems underpinning our globalised society, from trade to health and the environment. This connectivity, its benefits and drawbacks, are key themes of Signals 2011, which tells its stories through the real life experiences of people around the globe.
Meet Chance – a child miner in the jungles of Congo and read how minerals that make our mobile phones work are connected to war and injustice in the developing world. Meet the Bhuyan family – members of a forest-dwelling tribe from east India – and read how global financial markets value the minerals in the forest but ignore the value of the forest to the people living there.
Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the EEA, said: "The environment connects us all. Many of the raw materials we use come from distant countries, and their extraction sometimes has unintended consequences. European consumption also produces a lot of waste.
"Signals shows that we need to think about the lifecycle of resources – where they come from, how we use them, how we recycle waste materials. This provides a global perspective, showing the opportunities and constraints in a modern, globalised world."
Dr. József Ángyán, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Rural Development, Hungary said: "As the public consultation on the preparation of National Rural Development Strategy in Hungary has shown, these issues also pose a major challenge at local regional and national level. There is a huge potential in the wisdom and personal experience of local communities, complementing other data-gathering exercises and delivering a clear message for us all concerning the way forward."
While Chance and the Bhuyan family have very particular experiences and personal stories, their lives – like ours - are increasingly shaped by global forces which connect us all. As Europeans, our role is often as consumers. The European lifestyle, and the legitimate aspirations of billions of people to mirror this high-consumption way of life, will largely define our common future.
In 2012 we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, which established sustainable development as a major political aim around the world. A 'Rio+20' meeting will try to reinvigorate and redefine sustainable development. With Signals 2011, the EEA starts on the road to Rio with a clear message: the poorest of the poor depend on the environment daily for survival. Sustainable development - with the eradication of poverty at its core - cannot succeed without securing, as a first principal, a healthy environment.
Signals, published in all 26 EEA languages, takes a story-based approach to help us better communicate with Europe's diverse population.

Some facts on resource use in Europe:
Europe needs to decouple resource use from economic growth, according to the State and Outlook of the Environment Report (SOER) published by the EEA in 2010. Although this may sound like a difficult and complex task, all European citizens can play a part. Reducing consumption and increasing recycling are both important parts of the puzzle – perhaps something to consider on World Environment Day.

]]>The alarming rate of deforestation in the Amazon poses a very concrete threat to such remote tribes. It does not only threaten their livelihood but also their way of life. Loggers and cattle ranchers continue clearing the forest cover and moving further into the heart of forest, inflicting often irreparable damage to the environment as well as exposing remote tribes to diseases for which they have no immunity.
Unfortunately, the Amazon and its tribes are not the only ones bearing the consequences of the growing global demand for natural resources. Five years ago Bisie was jungle. Located in the Wailikale territory, east Congo, it is now a cramped township as a result of the discovery of cassiterite, a derivative of tin that is a crucial component in the circuitry of many modern gadgets. It's in mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and gaming devices. Today despite the boom in mining activities in its forests, the large majority of the Congolese remains extremely poor.
Thousands of kilometres from Bisie, in the state of Orissa nestled up against the Bay of Bengal, live Gangi Bhuyan and her husband Sukru Bhuyan with their young family. This is east India, the legendary spring of India's mineral wealth and a major source of materials for global industrial growth in the past.
For about five months of the year Gangi and Sukru feed their family from the less than half acre plot of land they cultivate on the verge of the forest that surrounds Raibada, their village. During this time they also harvest vegetables, seeds, fruit, medicine and building materials (such as grass) from the forest. For a further four months, this is their main supply of food. Without the forest they would starve. For the remaining three months they are forced to migrate to large urban areas such as Bangalore or Mumbai where they work as labourers.
For many indigenous people the forest is their lifeline, while the timber or the minerals buried beneath are sometimes a curse. Across the world, because of their relatively higher dependence on the environment, the poorest of the poor are often the most affected by environmental degradation. This damage is driven by global demand for raw materials, which in turn is driven by human consumption.
Unfortunately, such communities' historic claim to forest resources and land has rarely been transcribed in modern society's legal systems. Government bodies like Funai or non-governmental movements like Survival International are faced with a daunting task. To have the rights of such indigenous tribes protected fully, in the case of the Amazon and Peru, they might first have to prove the existence of these tribes.
In other cases, like in India, there has been some progress. The Forest Rights Act is now facilitating the transfer of land rights to tribal communities. Gangi and Sukru Bhuyan have not received a title to the plot of land but some of their neighbours have. These one-sided, carefully laminated pieces of paper are clutched with a mixture of pride and surprise. The success of their neighbours means that the Bhuyan family has hope.
Most of the losses in forest cover take place in developing countries and are largely caused by weak governance structures for forest conservation and management. But the pressures forests and forest communities face are not limited to developing countries.
Despite growth in forest cover and stronger forest governance structures, Europe's forests and forest communities also feel the bite of growing demand for natural resources and environmental degradation.
We are using our planet's resources faster than they can replenish themselves but we want to continue consuming and producing ever more. We not only risk running out of vital resources, we are actually making our home less and less habitable.
Perhaps the solution lies in recognising the fact that we are only one species among many and our wellbeing depends on harmonious interaction with all others. All living things, including us, have a rightful claim on the forests of the world, even if we live in an urban area on the other side of the planet, because the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink, and the climate we live in depend on them.
Forests can provide all sorts of food: fruit, honey, mushrooms, meat and so on. If properly managed, they can also deliver a sustainable flow of resources such as wood to the economy.
Forests are also crucial in terms of the medicines they store. In India, As many as 8 000 species of plants are regularly used as medicine by the people of India with 90–95 % coming from forests. Less than 2 000 of these plants are officially documented.
But forests do a lot more. For example, trees and vegetation help ensure a healthy climate locally and globally by absorbing pollutants and greenhouse gases. Forest soils decompose wastes and purify water. And people often travel far to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of forests, or to engage in pastimes such as hunting.
All of these services — providing food and fibre, regulating the climate and so on — are valuable. We would pay a lot for machines that could do the same thing. For that reason, we should think of ecosystems as a form of capital, which provides services to the owner but often also to other people nearby and far off (as in the case of climate regulation). Crucially, we need to maintain our natural capital — not overexploiting the ecosystem and not over-polluting — if it is to continue providing these hugely valuable services.
]]>The growth of energy and resource use is likely to continue which at least to some degree will be counterbalanced, for example, by the use of renewable energy and improvement in the energy and resource efficiency. In general, it is difficult to predict what will be the main developments affecting environmental pressures. Climate change will most likely have many types of social and environmental consequences. Likewise, it is difficult to estimate beforehand how they will affect the environmental pressures in the future. However, environmental policy and measures aim to mitigate, not to contribute to environmental pressures.
Climate change will be an essential factor influencing the environment. The anticipated changes affect the environment and the pressures on the environment[1]. In addition, the measures and activities to adapt to and mitigate climate change will have environmental and societal effects.
The pressures on biodiversity[2] will most likely increase due to the anticipated climate changes. A major shift in climatic and vegetation zones is expected, inducing a shift in the distribution of the characteristic species of those zones. This will be difficult for many of the species, and invasive species may gain more from climate change than the native species, making the adaptation to new conditions even more difficult. On average, the adaptation capabilities of the northern and arctic species habitats are more limited in comparison to the more southern ones.
In November 2008, the Finnish Government adopted a climate and energy strategy[3], with detailed insights into climate and energy policy measures up to 2020, and suggestions up to 2050. In October 2009, the Government adopted a more radical Foresight Report on Long-term Climate and Energy Policy which was published by the Prime Minister's Office in November 2009.
The strategy proposes substantial changes in the energy sector. The aim is to decrease the growth in the final energy consumption so that by 2020 it would be over 10 % less than in the baseline scenario. In 2050 the consumption is expected to be at least one third less than in 2020. The use of renewable energy will be increased so that its share will be at least 38 % by 2020. This accomplishment will require a substantial increase in the use of wood-based energy, waste fuels, heat pumps, biogas and wind energy.
The decrease in the energy consumption curbs also the emissions. The renewable energy will be mainly of domestic origin. That requires expanded and new processes for the collection, processing, storage and use of the fuels. The anticipated changes in the energy sector will affect and at least partially curb the pressures on the environment.
Transport continues to be a driving force behind the environmental pressures. The number of cars increased steadily in 1970–2009 from about 700 000 to 2 780 000 cars so that there was 519 cars per inhabitant. The increase is expected to slow considerably after 2010[4]. The growth of traffic performance has been slower than the increase in the number of cars. The average mileage of a passenger car is now approximately 17 000 km/year. The vehicle mileage is expected to grow in 2007–2040 by 34 % to about 46 000 million vehicle-kilometres. The increasing use of biofuels and electric vehicles will curb the greenhouse gas emissions.
Land use has also a great influence on the environment[5]. The land use planning is guided by The Revised National Land Use Guidelines of Finland, which should be taken into account on the regional and local level. The latest revision of National Guidelines focused on different ways to tackle the effects of the climate change and on the special features of the Helsinki region. Reducing the volume of traffic is one of the ways to mitigate climate change, and the means of transport has a significant role there. Thus the emphasis must be on public transport, walking and cycling. Energy savings, use of renewable energy sources and district heating, wind power plants, and waste combustion plants are now incorporated in the Guidelines in a more comprehensive way. Regarding the adaption to climate change, it is necessary to take into account areas prone to flooding and the increasing incidence of storms, heavy rainfall and flooding in built areas. The Helsinki region will be more able to cope with the population growth and it will be developed as a metropolis that relies on public transport, and rail in particular.
A recent study[6] examines different development alternatives of urban and regional form and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions until 2050. The possibilities to influence this development are evaluated as well. The way urban and regional communities are composed affects greenhouse gas emissions from construction, use of buildings and infrastructure, and transportation. The current amount of greenhouse gas emissions created by urban and regional communities is estimated to be approximately 34 million tons CO2 equivalent per annum.
The three possible future alternatives until 2050 in the study were "business as usual", "more dense and centralized" and "more sparse and decentralized" when compared to the "business as usual" scenario. The "business as usual" scenario includes the growth of population from 3.5 million to 4.2 million in the 34 biggest city regions by 2050. However, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions is expected to decrease due to the implementation of energy-efficiency improvements in construction and renovation of the building stock. The emissions are decreasing by 26 percent per inhabitant compared to the current level. The average amount of emissions in the "dense and centralised" scenario is about 1.2 percent less and in the "sparse and decentralised" scenario about 1.9 percent more than in the "business as usual" scenario.
The programme 'ERA17 for an energy-smart built environment 2017' (drawn up in 2010 by the Ministry of the Environment, the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, and the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes) seeks to provide answers to the challenges posed to the built environment by climate change mitigation. When energy consumption and use required for construction amounts to over 40% of final energy consumption and nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, improving the built environment plays a key role in mitigating climate change and creating a competitive and sustainable society. If we include the impact of traffic, which is to a large extent defined by community structure, these figures are even higher. ERA17 provides a comprehensive action plan to improve the energy efficiency of the built environment, reduce emissions, and promote the use of renewable energy. There are now 31 proposals for actions and measures[7], and according to the first impact estimates they will reduce the energy consumption of the built environment by approximately 20–30 % and greenhouse gas emissions by 10–35 % in 2010–2050.

- How to Read a Study Record
Attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a very common behavioral problem during childhood. It is estimated that up to 80% of this disorder could be related to genetic factors. The most common treatment for ADHD is psychostimulants. In this study, the researchers investigate the effect of genetic variants in increasing the risk for behaviours pertinent to ADHD or in modulating the response of these behaviours to methylphenidate. Response to methylphenidate is evaluated through a double blind placebo controlled one week study.

Double-amputee olympian Oscar Pistorius broke down several times in court Friday while he was being formally charged for the murder of his girlfriend.
Pistorius was taken into custody Thursday after a shooting incident at his home.
Prosecutors are asking that the athlete be charged with pre-meditated murder.
He is being held without bail until his next court appearance on February 19.
Pistorius made history at the London Olympics last year when he became the first double-amputee runner to compete on the track at the games and is one of South Africa's most famous athletes.

The town's 12,000 residents enjoy open, green surroundings with close proximity to the big-city attractions found in Atlanta.

Gwinnett County was established in 1818 and named after Button Gwinnett, one of the three Georgia residents who signed the Declaration of Independence. When a line of the Danville and Piedmont Air Line Railroad was built through town, new residents moved into the area to work in the local booming tannery industry. Today, Lilburn has a thriving local economy and many outstanding recreational opportunities. As a diverse neighborhood with many well-established schools, Lilburn makes a great home for families. Many residents are attracted to the area because they can experience the benefits of living near Atlanta without paying high living expenses. Lilburn's cost of living index of 95.1 is below the national average.
The Yellow River Game Ranch is located in Lilburn and boasts one of the city's largest attractions. People of all ages can enjoy photo opportunities, rustic trails and up-close-and-personal interactions with friendly animals. The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple is also here, and invites the public to experience this deep-rooted culture with guided tours.

Thanks for getting in touch! I try to get back to every inquiry within 24 hours during the week. Weekends are usually busy with shooting. :)
Please also feel free to email me at erik {at} erikpatton.com or give me a call at 617-959-0767.
I look forward to hearing from you!
After living in Europe and San Francisco, Boston became my home a few years ago when I married a Boston native. She's my best friend and my biggest fan.
I studied photography at the New England School of Photography in Boston where I concentrated on environmental portraiture. I believe one of the great things in the world to photograph are couples in love.
I'm a dad to a fourteen year old son and two white fluffy cats, Noah and Moses. For fun my wife and I like to exploring Boston's restaurants or checking out an indie movie.
If you'd like to know more about me or get in touch about you wedding, just drop an email to erik{at}erikpatton.com or call me at 617-959-0767. I'd love to hear from you!

They're the same thing really... the endings are still abstract and open ended, because you're not really shown much at all.
The main part of the endings is the expanded dialogue with Starbrat, and it's some useful extra information that makes the scene not so jarring. I did like the part where he explains his origins. That really opens up more room for speculation, not less. Who created him? How did they react to the reapers? These are new questions you can now speculate on.

Ira walked into a room on the Helicarrier. The room was dark, all he could see was a chair with a desk in front of it. He sat down on a chair in the and, without warning, around him, computer monitors appeared, with the silhouettes of people on them. "Agent Smith. How goes your training?" asked a womans voice.
"It concluded at 21:00 yesterday. Although, i question why you need me to learn Child Psychology... Don't get me wrong, i am willing to learn anything, but really? When am i going to need Child Psychology in S.H.I.E.L.D.?" he laughed a little, a part of him knew exactly what was coming. Some form of babysitting mission, but he prefered to live in blissful ignorance.
"Excellent, On the table in front of you is profiles on 5 new candidates." said a mans voice.
"Let me guess... Kids?"
"Very astute, Agent Smith." said a different womans voice. Ira picked up the envelope and 5 pieces of paper fell out the bottom. Each had a photo on it. a monitor in front of him began showing video footage of the people on the paper.
"Alexander Matthews, Male, Age 13, Born to the wealthy Matthews family, he was reported missing 9 years ago, since then, he has had multiple encounters with police." a video, obviously from a Police car dash-cam showed Alex being bent over the hood of the Police car in front of it and having hand-cuffs being put on him, the moment the cop turned his back to talk to his partner, the cuffs disappeared in a puff of smoke. Almost immediately, the officers tried to restrain him, the car underneath him turned to liquid as well. This caught the police offguard, they drew their guns, but Alex was quick to grab them, the guns melted all over their hands and then solidified, turning them into makeshift Handcuffs. Before Alex ran off-screen. "He appears to have the power to change certain materials between their 3 main states without changing their temporature." it said.
"You think it could work on... It?" Asked Ira.
"Your armour is of unknown makeup, whether his abilities will work on it is unknown... though we are confident that he will not be able to."
"Comforting..." he replied. "Alright, let's move on." the next file came up.
"Vladimir Pekorav, Male, Age 14, Although little is known about his past, we believe he was the only survivor of the Pekorav family who were murdered by Baker Brown, a notable serial arsonist who as found murdered shortly after the death of the Pekorav family, we believe that the boy may be his killer."
"Killed a serial arsonist in self defense? Not exactly something people will cry over." A video appeared, obviously captured on a phone. The person carrying it, running to a window of an appartment and looking down into an alleyway. The camera caught a video of a woman being mugged. the person with the video camera threw a shoe at one of the attackers. It hit one of them "FUCKING BITCH!!!" he yelled before pulling out a gun and firing up at the person with the phone, the person fell backwards, however, the video kept recording. "And who the fuck are you!? Waste the bastard" a barrage of gunshots was heard, as the person recording got to their feet, then all he could hear was screaming. Then silence, the cameraman ran to the window again to see the muggers dead around a kid with elongated, red fingers. "Hey kid, What the fuck?" yelled the Cameraman. The Kid looked up before grabbing the dropped loot and disappearing in a puff of smoke. "Wait... Thank you..." said the woman who was being mugged. the video ended just as the cameraman called to someone called Susan. "We believe his powers are his sharp claws and the ability to teleport." it said.
"He saves people and takes their stuff... Probably to get a decent meal... Next."
"Nathan McLean, Male, age 15, born into an ordinary family, at age 7, he was diagnosed with ADHD, his brother died when he was 14. Shortly afterwards was when his powers began to surface." A video came up. a burning building, Come on, wheres the Fire Brigade Wheres Iron Man? suddenly a blur whizzed past the screen, and in the next 10 seconds, several people seemed to just appear as the blur zipped in and out of the building, dropping them off, after the last person was safe, the blur stopped to reveal a kid with a hoodie pulled down so they couldnt see his face, he looked around, obviously paniced before becoming the blur again and disappearing.
Let me guess, hes really fast? asked Ira.
Indeed. We were unable to get a full guage on his speed, but it is believe that during this particular incident, he clocked in at 751mph.
Wow Finding him is going to be a pain in the ass. Whos next? he asked.
Trianna Mysteria, Female, Age 13.
Of course. Muttered Ira Cant do this without our token chick.
We werent able to find much on her past and what we could find we could barely verify, Her parents were killed in a Car Crash 3 years ago and she was diagnosed with Dissociative identity disorder. After that, she dropped off the radar. We dont have any video footage, but one of our agents has had a run in with her, we found that she is able to split into 3 people.
Alright Im interested to meet her then. He said. So, whos our last candidate?
Hercules Lamprou-
HOLY FUCK WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN FEEDING HIM? yelled Ira as a guy with muscles that would make Arnold Schwarzenegger feel inadequate.
If we may move on Hercules Lamprou, Male, Age 16. Again, with this one, little is known about him, his background seems fairly standard, nothing out of the ordinary Except for this. a video appeared. Hercules was sweeping up around his parents cart, after sweeping up everything into a pile, he looked around, then picked up the van in one hand and swept the pile of rubbish under it. he laughed before walking away. Holy shit, I told you that guy was nuts. Said the camera-man.
Wow Alright, so you want me to get them? Or do you want me to just look after them.
Simply put, we are putting them together in a team We need to make sure that beings of their power doesnt fall into the wrong hands.
Ok Can I refuse? Because I am not the one for this.
No you cant. Ira got up and rubbed his brow... Then grabbed the envelope from the table and walked out. As he exited the room, through a different door than he had entered in. He saw that behind a two way mirror, was all of the kids. Oh fuck he said. Another Agent was in the room with him. Dont worry, they are sedated at the moment. He then watched as they started to come to.
I can only imagine what they are going to do. He opened the door and walked inside and sat down. He had no idea what he was going to say to them.

HP faces iPad entrenchment at businesses, say observers
Ahead of its third-quarter earnings Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard is virtually absent in tablets, one of the hottest device markets today. And its fresh entry into the market will face an entrenched iPad ecosystem at businesses.
There's no guarantee that HP's upcoming Windows 8 Pro tablet aimed at corporate enterprise customers will stop the iPad's march into businesses, according to Rhoda Alexander at IHS iSuppli.
"It is the established leader in all of the markets. It has more of a reach into business, into education than its competitors," Alexander said, referring to the iPad. "The consistency … Read more

Had SS 4D, then SS 5Hv2 as I quit gaming I got a new pair, Sennheiser eH 150. They cost like £25 and I'm not really that happy about them as they give me a headache (tight headband) so I'm looking for a new pair of headphones that would perform as good as Sennheisers (sound quality wise, I'm a bit of a newbie audiophile) and they were comfortable. Only thing is, they have to be avaible in UK (preferably in a local Belfast shop ) and they can't cost more than £40 (would want up to £30 but if they're worth it, I can go extra £10.) Preferably 5.1 but they're usually on the pricey side and don't perform that great.
5.1 only have the directional sound, stick to stereo imo; better quality. When it comes to sennheiser not much can match them. I have pc350 which would be about 100 british pounds for you, but they are awesome. If you want quality, look up the sennheiser line abit maybe? Bose produce nice headphones as well.
Sennheiser are after all one of the best brands (as I heard AKG, Denon are great as well) as they're made for pure quality. I'm looking in DJ headphones as this is the way I look at it - "If DJ headphones are all about music and comfort for long sessions then that's the right thing for me." I've currently set my eye on a pair of british brand "Kam" DJ headphones called Kam KHP 1500, they're only about £30 and they look pretty good although I'll look into others as well.
The sennheisers I have are for gaming and have a mic. Games sound great on em, music isn't as great but good. If you want something more dj like, look up some reviews. I'm not much familiar with them. I have some old sony panasonic headphones I bought at futureshop for $92 (45 ish for you) years ago. They were big and comfortable and sounded nice. So maybe look at sony headphones as well.
Sony and Philips are brands that make everything, they probably wouldn't sound as good as Sennheisers (i'm a picky cunt ;/). Might just sell my current ones and add up another £15 and get a pair of better Sennheisers. BTW What about Wireless headphones, they would be great for me but is there any sound difference or lag? e.g. I'm asking this as there's a difference between wired and wireless mice.
Might get some real high end audiophile Sennheisers for £30 from a mate *brand new* if he can get them. Won't tell you about it just now, as I might fail.
Audio over wireless sounds like a bad idea. It costs so much more for wireless too. Stick with wired, it is just one. The sonys do sound good that I have, just not as crisp as the sennheisers.
If you don't need a mic, suggest Senn PX100, Grado SR60, or Sony MDRV6. You can always clip a cheap mic onto any one of them and they'll all work well from any sound card.
I'm not really looking for anything portable, not folding or anything of that sort, just a good cheap pair of cans. Currently I'm relying on getting them from my mate but if I don't, i'll keep posting.
Senn PX100 and Sony MDRV6 do fold, but you certainly do have to fold or unfold them. My recommendations are based solely on the sound quality you get for the money they cost.
id recommend the Sennheiser hd 200 or 201 headphones there great quality but the best thing is they really flat in my opinion which is great for when im mixing music down or if your into anything like that coz some headphones boost the bass or treble but flat ones show exactly what the recorded sound sounds like but yea the hd 200 or 201
HD200 are probably taken out of line as you can barely find a pic of them on google. Tried HD 201, didn't like them, very similar to eH 150 but 150's specs were better. Currently there's 3 possibilities (dunno about tomorrow) -> 1) Keeping current, 2) Getting one of the Kam ones, 3) Getting HD 215 (would want 3rd option but it's un-certain just yet)
talking about headphones my brother bought a Sennheiser PC25 but it doesn't work with my windows 7 x64 and Vista x64 only my xp damn doesn anyone know how to make it work under windows 7??? Thanks in advance...
I got some similar to these (I'm pretty sure it's just the charging base/signal station that's different) Clicky here VERY good, wireless and mine were only about £25!!
I got a pair on Sennheiser PC161 that are oversized to fit my fat head comfortably. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Op...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235585718&sr=8-1
Going for Kam KHP1500, cost £40 (i'm getting them for 30). But as I haven't seen them, I'll check what they look and feel like in the shop
i've been searching for the drivers for quite sometime and i just can't find it even in their own site... if u know the hot spot for the drivers for this i will appreciate...
I have the Sennheiser PC 151 and it's the best headset I had so far. If it fits within budget i strongly recommend it
Creative Fatal1ty pro gaming headset (its also good for music), for the price they blow practically everything out of the water and are really cheap now, take a look at this review, they destroyed some Sennheiser 487HD's costing almost twice the price, I have a pair and they are really very good, especially for the price. Not 5.1's though but certainly in gaming terms you will have CMSS with your audigy so no problem there. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/creative_fatal1ty_review/7.htm
Not getting anything related to gaming, I don't need it. And there's about 100% that some fancy gaymer headset won't beat Sennheisers for the same price. BTW sorry for the ignorance but I'm just saying how I look at it. BTW #2 I had SteelSeries 5Hv2 which are proven to be one of the best gaming headsets, why would I get another gaming headset when I could've kept it. I'm only changing because I want headphones that would be great music/movie wise.

MASSENA Construction on the Parker Avenue bridge wont begin for at least two more years, according to state Department of Transportation officials.
Corroded beams on the 53-year-old bridge over the Grasse River forced the closure of two of its four lanes in 2009. The bridge was closed entirely for part of the summer of 2010 after a hole appeared in the deck of the structure.
DOT presented five options for replacing the bridge with a two-lane span to the village board more than a year ago. The total cost of the bridge construction and traffic reconfiguration is $14.1 million to $14.5 million for all five scenarios, DOT officials said previously.
About 80 percent of the project cost would come from federal funds, while the state would pick up the remaining 20 percent. At the time, DOT officials said the bridge project would be highly contingent on Congress passing additional transportation legislation in 2011. In May 2011, DOT officials said they planned to approve design plans last fall, contract plan completion in winter 2012, contract letting in spring 2013, bridge reopening to traffic in fall 2014 and completion in winter 2014.
Now, it will be 2014 or later before construction begins because of a lack of funding, DOT spokesman Michael R. Flick said Monday.
Design work has been limited, Mr. Flick said in an email.
The bridge replacement project will need a fully funded federal transportation bill to move forward, said Scott A. Docteur, director of planning and management for DOT Region 7. The last transportation bill expired several years ago, and Congress has approved nine extensions since then. DOT has received approximately 30 percent less funding from the extensions than the last full-fledged bill, he said.
Were working on it and we want to replace it, but funding is an issue, Mr. Docteur said.
Mayor James F. Hidy said the village had been left in the dark about the delay. He said he was first hearing of it Monday.
Im hearing this through the press. They made no effort at all to let us know whats going on. That itself is disturbing, Mr. Hidy said. Its imperative we get this structure to the front of the line and address this as soon as possible.
Mr. Hidy called the bridge unsightly. If its crumbling on the outside, chances are its not doing too good on the inside, either, he said.
DOT staff has monitored the bridge over the last year, according to engineer and project manager Michael K. McCullouch. Its in a holding pattern, he said. Were watching it, but its still safe.

Impeccably clean. Ana, the Director, provided outstanding service...arranging taxis, trains, and anything we needed. Incredible charm and comfort. Just beware, it's a 1 or 2 story walk-up...no elevator. Not a problem for us...and you definitely want to arrange for a taxi (thru Ana) to get here as the streets are very narrow.

Inevitably recalling his earlier effort, the long-incomplete Downtown 81 (which was eventually finished and issued in 2001), Edo Bertoglio returns to the same subject with this documentary effort. The film, like its predecessor, leads viewers on a tour of the New York avant-garde scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Using archival footage and interviews with such individuals as Deborah Harry, Glenn O'Brien and Victor Bockris, Bertoglio conjures up a re-evocation of the said time and place, and draws on the vivid, colorful and anecdotal recollections of his participants - thus revealing how collective experiences helped shape and define a particular environment and atmosphere in a Manhattan that no longer exists. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Originally shot in 1980-81, this film, directed by Edo Bertoglio, is a rare real-life snapshot of ultra-hip subculture of post-punk era Manhattan. Starring renowned artist Jean Michel Basquiat (who died in 1988 at age 27) and featuring such early Village hipsters as Melle Mel, John Lurie, and Lydia Lunch, the film is a bizarre elliptical urban fairytale. The film opens with Jean (Basquiat) in the hospital with an undisclosed ailment. After checking out, he happens upon an enigmatic woman, Beatrice (Anna Schroeder), who drives around in a convertible. He arrives at his apartment only to discover that his landlord is evicting him. Later, while trying to sell his art work, he meets up with musician Arto Lindsay and his band DNA. Jean eventually does manage to sell some of his art work to a rich middle-aged woman who is interested in more than just his art, but she pays with a check. As the film progresses, he wanders the streets of New York, looking for Beatrice. He happens upon a bag lady (Debbie Harry) who turns into a princess when he kisses her. As a reward, she gives him a stack of cash. Abandoned in the mid-'80s due to financial problems, producer Maripol Fauque rediscovered the film and cleaned it up in 1999. It was screened at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Force of Circumstance
A young Moroccan woman leaves her ramshackle native town to embark upon a dangerous mission to help better the circumstances of her people. Unfortunately, she ends up nearly trapped in a deadly web of political intrigue. The girl, Mouallem must travel to the US and deliver documents to a Moroccan-American journalist, Katrina, in Washington, D.C., proving that the decadent government has been abusing the common people. Unbeknownst to her, the wicked Moroccan ruler has sent an envoy there to find a suitable mansion. The crooked king is planning to leave his native country before it collapses. The envoy finds a perfect house that coincidentally, belongs to Katrina's lover, who is an important figure in manipulating world politics. The envoy also contacts an arms dealer who though knowing little about the Middle Eastern situation, eagerly makes deals with all comers. Meanwhile, Mouallem tires to contact the seemingly elusive Katrina, not knowing that she is being stalked by a mysterious photographer. Katrina, who is anxious to get Mouallem's information, has her own hands full trying to convince her editor to allow her to write an expose of the Moroccan political situation. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Originally aired live in color on New York City's Channel J (a public access "commercial station") this episode of TV Party from June 13, 1982 found the producers of the show growing increasingly desperate as producer/host Glenn O Barr announces, "Everything here is for sale." He's missing a tooth, and he hasn't had a haircut in quite some time, and while the energy is there, it's obvious that the crew isn't functioning at full capacity. Lenny Ferrari, Karen Geniece, and Charles Rocket join the TV Party Orchestra, the latter plugging into a stack of Marshall amps and running his accordion through a variety of guitar pedals in order to achieve a "heavy metal accordion" sound. Recently fired from Saturday Night Live for uttering the "F" word during a live broadcast, Rocket later launches into a droll, post-modern version of the radio hit "Wild Thing". While at first it appears as if Gun Club's Jeffrey Lee Pierce won't be able to perform due to a broken guitar, he quickly gets a lender and offers a soulful rendition of a Robert Johnson song. The episode winds to a close with a thirty second meditation led by O'Barr, a punk rock poem read by a Russian poet, and a live performance of the original composition "Why Can't I Get Laid" by German new waver Lothar Manteuffel, featuring accordion accompaniment by Rocket. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Chaos gives way to art as a live television broadcast of the legendary, late 1970s public access show TV Party experiences some serious technical difficulties before getting under way with appearances by such special guests as Debbie Harry, Klaus Nomi, Adny Shernoff, and The Patty Smith Group's Richard Sohl. The sound-man has gone missing, ensuring that the opening segments of this episode of TV Party from January 8, 1979 gets off to an alternately amusing and artistically agonizing start. Later, when the sound board gets working, Blondie singer Harry and host Glenn O'Brien back up Compton Maddox in a typically droll performance by the underground singer/songwriter, futurist soprano Nomi takes the microphone to deliver a post-modern aria, and The Dictators' Shernoff covers The Beach Boys' "Be True to Your School" as Manic Panic designers Tish and Snooky cheer along with pom-poms. Later, director Eric Mitchell announces the grand opening of the New Cinema theater and shows a few clips from the latest film Kidnapped. "White people talk about reggae" in a segment featuring British director David Silver and photographer Kate Simon, and the episode winds to a close as Blondie singer Harry, her band-mate Chris Stein, and good friend Sohl sit down to puff on a joint while taking calls from viewers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

How do I delete all my twitter direct messages in one go without having to click the delete button for each message?
An extract from an article originally posted on http://twittercism.com/delete-direct-messages/ Another option would be to install this GreaseMonkey script. | |||||||||||||||||

I think using a twitter client might help you. I remember using Choqok in linux that would let me delete DMs. YMMV though. I'm not sure if its available for windows either. | |||
