Jessica Fletcher is back on the case!
NBC is developing a Murder, She Wrote reboot starring Octavia Spencer as an amateur detective who publishes a mystery novel, Deadline reports. Spencer will take over the role originated by Angela Lansbury in the series, which ran for 12 seasons beginning in 1984.
Pity the network that has to follow cable at the annual Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills. Such was long-time underdog NBC's lot on Saturday, putting its happiest face on a mixed bag of new fall programming in front of an audience that just a day earlier had sat in rapt fascination as the cast and creator of AMC's Breaking Bad presented their farewell TCA panel — the first episode of its final run (airing Aug. 11) is as gripping as you could hope, by the way. The cable portion of TCA also included a spectacularly geek-tastic celebration of Doctor Who's upcoming 50th anniversary staged by BBC America (complete with TARDIS and Dalek, a roving Cyberman and a museum-quality display of costumes and props).

As NBC executives pray for a ratings win, producer Mark Burnett may have just passed them a Hail Mary.
Burnett and his wife, producer-actress Roma Downey, will produce for the network A.D.: Beyond the Bible, a sequel to their hugely popular miniseries The Bible — and Burnett doesn't see it as a one-off. "There's no reason this shouldn't run 10 years," he tells TV Guide Magazine.
It won't come cheap. NBC made an aggressive bid for the sequel, knocking other contenders (including History, which aired The Bible) out of the running. But a History spokesperson says the channel passed on A.D., adding, "We're about what's next."
NBC chief Bob Greenblatt said that the network is keeping watch over 'Apprentice' host Donald Trump and will act if he does 'cross a line.'
NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt claims the network talked Donald Trump out of running for president. However, Greenblatt says NBC won't step in and stop 'The Apprentice' star from making political statements, unless they're deemed hurtful or they cross the line. Our Kristina Behr pokes some holes in this claim.

NBC is partnering with Mark Burnett and Roma Downey for a follow-up to their hugely successful 10-part miniseries The Bible, the network announced Monday.
The working title of the new series is A.D.: Beyond the Bible, which will cover the events following Jesus' death.
Seth Meyers will replace Jimmy Fallon on Late Night when Fallon takes over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno in 2014, NBC announced Sunday.
NBC's Up All Night should have been a hit. The show came with a strong comedy pedigree: It starred Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph and was produced by Saturday Night Live don Lorne Michaels. At the center was what seemed to be a relatable premise for the young adults watching the network's upscale comedies: a hip, young couple adjusts to life with a baby.
But two years after creator Emily Spivey shot the pilot (then called Alpha Mom), Up All Night is all but gone, suffering the death of a thousand tinkers. A heavily touted plan to morph the show into a multi-camera sitcom is now mostly abandoned, and some of the outlandish ideas bandied about for the revamp (including one idea involving rock star... read more
CBS is serious about tackling broadcast TV's summer problem, and to prove it, the network is hauling out two big names: Steven Spielberg and Stephen King.
The Steves are behind the upcoming 13-episode CBS summer series Under the Dome, based on King's best-selling thriller about a New England town that becomes sealed off from the rest of the world. read more
NBC may be on the rise this season, but comedy — traditionally one of the network's strong suits — hasn't played much of a role in its recovery. Freshman half-hour Go On is showing promise, but NBC's Thursday night block, once the home to "Must See TV," now limps along.That's why execs are taking a long, hard look at its comedy brand to decide in what direction to steer the laughs next year.

"Great Hotel/Great Price/Close to Riverwalk"

JeffreyTravel | Clarkston, Michigan
Had a business meeting at this Hotel and stayed for 3 nights. I have not stayed at many La Quinta Inns and when I found out we were staying there, well, I wanted to stay on the Riverfront. The hotel was picked because they gave us a very good price. To my surprise, the hotel was great. Check in was quick and they were very nice. My room was very clean and comfortable. It had a frig, microwave and high definition TV. My room was on the top floor. The view was not much. It was overlooking the freeway. NOTE: The freeway is close to this hotel but I did not hear any noise from it. The RiverWalk was a very short, enjoyable walk from this hotel. It was no any trouble at all. We walked to the RiverWalk for lunch and dinner each day. They have a bar in the Hotel and the bartenders were fantastic. They really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Breakfast every morning for free. Waffles seem to be the big item. There is a pool and whirl pool. The pool always seems to always be in the shade with the height of the building next to it. NOTE: I did not have a car but some people said that parking was expensive. You have to pay to park. If you are looking for a reasonable priced hotel that is clean and comfortable with great service and a very short walk to the RiverWalk, try this hotel, you will be pleased. NOTE: There were a lot of Military Men and Woman staying at this Hotel. I felt safer with them staying there. Tell them "Thank You". They keep this country safe and free. I will stay there again.

We were in town for the Rock n' Roll Marathon and were very close to the event as well as to riverwalk and downtown. It is located within walking distance of many attractions down town, including the Alamo. Rooms were roomy and clean. The event attracted a lot of people so there was limited parking but the staff, especially parking lot manager Lupin, was incredibly attentive and made sure we were taken care of! The experience was great!!

Concerns about the safety of vaccinations seem to be growing. One of the most prevalent worries is that the vaccine will cause the disease it's supposed to prevent. For the most common vaccinations, this notion is a myth — the vaccine can't cause the illness it is intended to fight because it contains no biologically active infectious agent. Consider the seasonal influenza vaccination. Every fall, people at highest risk of influenza and its associated complications — people at least 50 years old, nursing home residents, those with chronic lung diseases, diabetes, asthma, and those with other immune problems — are advised to get immunized against the "flu." Children ages 6 months to 23 months and women who will be in their second or third trimester of pregnancy during flu season also are encouraged to have the routine vaccination. In addition, health care professionals are advised to undergo immunization to reduce the chances of passing influenza to people at risk of severe disease. However, many people ignore these recommendations because they believe they will contract the infection that the vaccination is meant to prevent. How Influenza Vaccine Works Influenza vaccine is produced by growing the virus in eggs. The virus is killed and processed to create the vaccine, which is given by injection under the skin. The body then produces antibodies to the virus over the next two to four weeks. If the immunized person then comes into contact with the influenza virus, the antibodies attack and kill the virus before it has a chance to cause infection. At least, that's the way it's supposed to work. However, vaccination is not foolproof. During the time it takes for the immune system to produce protective antibodies, you are still vulnerable to infection. In addition, some people don't make enough antibodies in response to the vaccine. And not all strains of influenza are covered by the vaccine — many people think the vaccine will protect against all winter colds, but clearly it can't do that. Despite these few potential disadvantages, the vaccine has no living virus and cannot cause the flu. While flu virus vaccinations cannot cause the flu, flu vaccines can cause other side effects. In fact, any vaccine can cause trouble. For example, you could have an allergic reaction to the flu vaccine — especially if you have a known allergy to eggs. A rash is most common, but in rare cases, a more severe reaction can compromise breathing or swallowing. For this reason, persons with a known egg allergy are advised against receiving the flu vaccine. Other side effects — reported in a small percentage of people — include redness or pain at the injection site, fever, muscle aches and fatigue. Overall, the incidence of side effects is less than 5% for the seasonal flu vaccination, and the vast majority of side effects are insignificant. Why Does This Myth Persist? At least two factors contribute to the persistence of this myth that vaccination can lead to the flu:
The Bottom Line The seasonal flu shot is not perfect — it's not uniformly effective and does have occasional mild (and rarely severe) side effects. However, experts generally agree that the benefits of vaccination dwarf its risks. If you are a person who has been avoiding vaccination and you are in a risk group for whom vaccination is recommended, you should reconsider. Don't compromise your health. If you do choose to avoid vaccination, find a better excuse than fear of causing the flu. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He has been a practicing rheumatologist for over 20 years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is an active teacher in the Internal Medicine Residency Program, serving as the Robinson Firm Chief. He is also a teacher in the Rheumatology Fellowship Program.

I know a boy who happens to be a miracle. His name is Isaac Sneed. About 11 years ago he started complaining about his "tummy". You know, the kinds of complaints all kids have. Only his ache never went away. The diagnosis was neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. This cancer is almost always fatal, and most children who get this kind of cancer are diagnosed by the age of 2. By the time it is discovered, the cancer usually spreads to the point of no return. Through a miracle, his tumor was completely intact and the doctors were able to remove it. Isaac was 8.
As a result of his treatment (chemotherapy, radiation and stem cell transplant), Isaac suffers from significant hearing loss. Ototoxicity is caused from the platinum in some anti-neoplastic drugs. Hearing loss is common following radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Stem cell transplant risks include hearing loss.

My standby place for west hollywood lunch – The pros and cons say it all. The chopped salad is my favorite in the city- get it with the chicken, love it for the blue cheese and candied walnuts. When I am feeling particularly starving, I add in a side of hummus, almonds and pita. I rarely stray from these favorites. When a meal satisfies a craving again and again, it has to be quality.
The ambiance is a bit dark, but a pleasant respite from the hubbub of Sunset.
If you get the chopped salad to go, make sure to ask for a healthy sized portion, otherwise it is fit for a size 0 and really aren't we all Kings?
Surprisingly there is good selection for lunch with tasty soup. The price is affordable too.
Last saturday was my very first time eating in this restaurant. So thankful that my friends brought me there. Their foods for dinner is the best!
Come here for the cocktail lounge and order the Grasslands cocktail made with freshly pressed wheatgrass juice . Menu is American eclectic.
the worst Service and the blandest ever – I had dinner there tonight and felt like I should have gone some where else the service was lame and just not there we had to keep calling the server all the time and the food was just Bland and the seafood was not cooked right or even fresh sorry but it sucked
Good food, consistent service – When I see one star on a review here I have to wonder if somebody hung a sign out on another place and claimed to be Mirabelle, or maybe they ate a bad Mirabelle plum and assumed it was from the restaurant. I did see the review about the bartender, and I am hopeful that management will look into it. If it's true, its an abheration of the excellent service that I am accostomed to at Mirabelle's.
The menu grows and changes over time, but I feel safe picking almost anything off the menu. Highly recommended
Not what it useto be – Read my review in chow hound. I hate to give one star but I feel like in this case it is really needed. I have been to this place well over a hundred times and fully enjoyed myself dining with friends and having lunch meetings. The service has always been the best and still is. With that said, I noticed the quality of the food has gone down, there's no thought to the dishes, it's just blah. I don't know what has changed. Did they get a new chef? A new manager? I'm not sure but what I am sure about is that restaurant basics were missing. No salt and pepper shakers at the table? It's not just my table but all the tables didn't have them. I had to ask the waiter-it's like having to ask for utensils or a napkin at a restaurant. I also noticed the lively vibe of the place missing. The dining room use to be busy and so did the bar but now it seems like the place is taking a dive. God I really hope not, I've met the owner before and he was really sweet with me and my friends- he sat us down and even got our order for drinks. Overall my last experience was embarassing becase I was with fellow foodies. If not for the attentive servers the whole experience would have been worse. I would encourage management to step it up, get a consultant and turn this classic back into what it use to be. Focus your menu a little more and don't raise your prices - this will be the kiss of death for a restaurant in this economy.
Transparent Bartender – I stopped in Mirabelle after work around 6:45pm. I know they have a late night happy hour until 8pm. I took a look at the Happy Hour menu and ordered the cucumber martini and a bite to eat. Before making the drink, the bartender asked if it was o.k. to ring another drink on my tab and run my card as she was taking off shortly. I must say, I was taken aback. How rude. I asked if the Happy Hour was ending anytime soon, and she said no, that Happy Hour runs til 8pm. Not only did she pull this stunt with me, but solicited stacking an additional drink onto every other patrons bill before she left. Incredibly gaudy; I can only imagine what it is like to work on a shift following hers. She is taking money out of the next bartender's shift, and destroying the suspension of service by trying to squeeze an extra buck out of her clientele. Transparent! Needless to say, I won't be back.
A Wonderful Experience – My girlfriend and I stopped by Mirabelle's for a little discount happy hour drinking, with some eats to go along with it. While the prices were right, the thing that stood out the most was the exceptional service from our server John. Not only did he accomodate all our needs and wants, he was always checking out to make sure if we needed anything. While most server's can be overbearing, John was subtle in his attentiveness. Never intruding until the right time. Overall, one of the top 3 greatest servers I have ever had at any restaurant anywhere, and I eat out quite a bit. The food was also delectable. It was just a small sampling, seeing as how we were there for some happy hour deals. Those deals were very good. The chicken taco (spicy) was delicious, as well as the happy hour macaroni and cheese. We also had calamari, which was a bit tough, I've had much better in that regard, but overall, the food was very good.
I can't hype the service enough though. That was the joy of the experience. Simply wonderful. Well done John. Well done!!!!!!

Evaluating the performance of national innovation system: a comparative study between South Korea and Mexico
Marco Rojo, UAM Iztapalapa
Our research advances in this first part, focused on reviewing the way it deals with the evaluation of the technological performance of countries within the framework of National Innovation Systems (NIS´s). In particular, we turn with special intention to the quantitative assessment (data, measurement techniques, methodologies, data sources, etc.). Furthermore, we aim to demonstrate the systemic nature of innovation as a phenomenon that has demanded the attention of specialists, treatment beyond the strictly economic. In this regard, emphasis was placed on reflecting on the need for a systemic analysis that allows us to take into account the different areas (social, political, economic, institutional, historical, etc.) Upon which rests the phenomenon innovation. Thus, the NIS approach was revived, presented the work done for its conceptualization and treatment, stressing mainly the analytical framework for identifying the components and properties, functions and links, and how these, determine the performance of NIS's of Mexico and South Korea. Treatment was given to the various indicators used by researchers to have an approach on the technological performance of nations, pausing a bit as experienced by the countries of Latin America and Asia, with the aim of our research context and relevance of our comparative study at two representative economies of both regions. Later, it became a special attention to benchmarking as one of the most common techniques in technology, specifically the non-parametric measures such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which allow to develop estimates using mathematical tools linear programming. Among the virtues of DEA, we highlight the flexibility of this technique to omit measurement units that are related to market prices, since under the NIS, many of the inputs and outputs that are used in activities innovative, are hard to categorize with a single unit of measure and prices. Finally, we outlined the upcoming activities of our research, which will help us estimate the efficiency of NIS of Korea and Mexico with own calculations by the DEA. In addition, we expect to find a relationship between the cultural, political and institutional impact on the efficient performance of the NIS of Mexico and South Korea. In this sense, we seek to make the review of previous studies and econometric consulting basis to enable us to find a causal link, but above all, finding an explanation for both phenomena technological aid for this latter purpose, the tools offered to us historical and institutional analysis.

The contradiction is clear. 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.
We are losing species and destroying natural habitats at alarming rates. The average global average temperature has increased by almost 0.8 °C since the industrial revolution. It is projected to increase by more than 2 °C, possibly up to 6 °C in some regions, by the end of this century.
Higher temperatures and more frequent weather extremes will put extra strain on our natural systems. Currently water-rich areas could face water scarcity, putting more strain on productive agricultural land forced to feed a growing global population. Like the rest of the planet, Europe will certainly need to adapt to climate change.
Is it possible to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels and opt for clean energy sources to fuel our lifestyles? One small community in Denmark shows the way to meet its energy demand through innovative policies tapping into local and sustainable energy sources.
Since the early 1980s, Thisted municipality in north-west Jutland, Denmark, has been using a creative mix of sustainable energy sources to provide heating and power for its 46 000 residents. In recognition of Thisted's contribution to renewable energy, it was awarded the European Solar Prize in 2007.
"We use our citizens actively, we use our local companies and we use the technological development that exists in the field," says Torben Juul, Technical Director Thisted Municipality.
The community now derives its energy off-grid, with renewable sources more than meeting its power needs and providing around 85 % of its heating. The energy comes from the sun, wind, geothermal power and biomass from incineration of agricultural, industrial and household waste.
Around 80 % of the electricity produced in Thisted comes from the region's 226 wind turbines, and the remaining 20 % from biogas plants that run on different types of waste. Many of the turbines and biogas plants are privately owned or co-owned, but there's also a municipal plant that produces power from an unusual combination of household waste combustion, straw incineration and geothermal power. In fact, the municipality produces so much electricity that it is even able to sell the surplus back into the central grid. The profits are fed back to the local health and education systems.
"We are producing energy using resources that are right under our noses." Lars Toft-Hansen, chairman of Thisted district heating
The keys to the municipality's success are strong political will, an enthusiastic local green organisation, and the ability to involve the community as stakeholders. As well as creating a clean environment, the Thisted system makes good business sense for everyone concerned. Farmers derive an income from their plants and wind turbines, and from selling their straw and other agricultural by-products. The heating bills for inhabitants of Thisted are a third of what they would be if oil were used.
Thisted's approach to transport is innovative, too. Emissions from school buses are reduced by staggering the school opening times, so that one school bus can drop off children from different schools in time to start their day. This and other measures have enabled the community to cut their CO2 emissions by almost 90 000 tonnes annually and they have further pledged to reduce emissions by up to 3 % a year until 2025.
Everything is constantly monitored and evaluated, whether it's transport, electricity or heating. For example, one planned future investment will be to connect up the heat producing plants in the area, so that the community can shift between whichever form of energy is most economical to produce at any given time.
Thisted has succeeded in turning the power of nature to its advantage, and has created a model that could be adapted in any region of the world — using local drive and initiative, and the energy right on their doorstep.
"Why isn't everyone else doing what Thisted is doing?" Jeremy Rifkin, President, Foundation of Economic Trends
]]>The renewable energy projections are also presented in graphs and tables in a data report. Detailed data for all 27 EU Member States are displayed together with the aggregate EU-27 figures. Moreover, derived indicators allow a comparison of country projections on a per capita basis or relative to land area.
Figure from data report. Projected renewable energy consumption breakdown for all 27 European Member States by the year 2020, as published in 27 separate NREAP documents. The blue, orange and green coloured pies represent the shares of renewable electricity, heating & cooling and transport, respectively.
The EU climate and energy package has three main goals for 2020: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 %; improving energy efficiency by 20 %; and generating 20 % of energy consumption from renewable energy. In order to support the renewable energy objective, each Member State has been requested to submit plans (NREAPs) detailing how they will reach their individual targets.
Targets for renewable energy cannot succeed if isolated from other factors. Developing and integrating renewable energy is, by nature, more complex and challenging than fossil fuel installations. Policymakers have thus introduced a string of legislation across related sectors (Figure 1).
One of the most visible outcomes is the creation of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the biggest and most successful of such trading system in the world. While there has been considerable controversy about the way in which allowances have been allocated, the fact that more than 40 % of EU greenhouse gas emissions are covered — and potentially controlled — is a huge achievement. In 2012, EU policy development will take another important step forward with the inclusion of aviation into the EU ETS, along with auctioning of at least half of the permits.
By enabling a price to be allocated to carbon emissions, the EU ETS delivers large indirect benefits to the renewables sector, strengthening the underlying economics of renewable energy installation. This trend will only continue as the cap decreases and the value of carbon increases.
Additional legislation that has helped create a supportive environment for investment includes minimum taxation of fossil fuel products, a European Energy Policy, agreement on a target to limit the increase in average global temperatures to less than 2 °C and, more recently, an emphasis on new energy technologies as a way to stimulate the economy. There is also the ongoing programme in competitiveness and innovation, which continues to deliver practical projects supporting renewables at all scales across Europe.
External issues have played their part in indirectly supporting the sector. Russia provided a great boost to domestic energy production when it turned off gas supplies to Ukraine in 2006, causing ripples of anxiety across Europe and influencing the Energy Security and Solidarity Plan. The oil price spike of 2007 also provided a timely reminder that oil production is subject to the laws of physical geology rather than just supply and demand, concentrating the minds of even the most sceptical politicians and decision-makers.
By 2007, renewables accounted for about 8 % of total energy consumption in the EU. Looking further ahead, the EU has set a legally enforceable target of generating 20 % of consumed energy from renewables by 2020. As we pause for breath at the end of a decade of frenetic activity, it is worth recognising these achievements for what they are.
Along with target setting, the EU has undertaken complementary work on the internal market to increase competition and trade in energy. Initial legislative measures were unsuccessful but a stronger set of regulations should improve the situation from 2011. Without a transparent and effective system of international energy competition and cooperation (yes, these two can operate in parallel), large renewable energy developments will be left with no clear market for their energy and investment will be stifled.
Issues related to the energy grid are particularly important. Indeed, in many EU Member States grid capacity is the main bottleneck in the system and without continuing European interest in the matter the situation will worsen. With that in mind, it is heartening to see progress through a number of public-private partnerships, such as the Mediterranean Solar Plan, the Desertec project and the North Seas Countries Offshore Grid. These kinds of initiatives will help encourage much needed private investors into the sector. And they demonstrate the coordinated approach and intergovernmental support that will be needed for successful grid development across the continent.
The European Environment Agency (EEA), too, has played its own small part in this decade of development. As we enter an era of increased environmental scrutiny of all developments, it is only right and proper that renewable energy is subject to the same provisions of environmental safeguarding required by other energy developments. The EEA plays the role of a "critical friend" to the industry, providing technical guidance to policymakers, researchers, businesses and citizens on the environmental impacts, both positive and negative, of renewable energy developments.
Over the last ten years we have published a significant body of resource assessments and analysis on most renewable technologies (Figure 1). Our work in the sector continues into 2011 with another look at the consequences of strong bioenergy growth, examining the potential for hydropower in Europe, and exploring the issues facing the European grid under scenarios of large-scale renewable deployment.
As the new decade starts, the EU has demonstrated its continued appetite for energy development with the publication of its infrastructure priorities. Denmark, Portugal and Spain have all embraced wind energy, and for Denmark and Spain in particular, this has led to a significant export market in wind technology. Finland, Sweden and others can consider their vast forestry reserves as a renewable resource for the rest of Europe, the Norwegian pumped hydro storage facilities can act as the energy storage reservoirs for much of the continent, and the Mediterranean states have ample sunlight offering strong investment opportunities.
In the last two years, more capacity has been added to the renewables sector than any other. Over the last ten years, wind ran a close second to gas for net installed capacity. From north to south, east to west, Europe's renewables sector is developing. And although this rapidly-growing, renewable energy teenager can expect some hard knocks as it takes its place in the world alongside oil, gas and coal, there is no doubt that it is here to stay.

]]>One distinctive feature of Germany is its political division in the period from 1949 to 1989, which led to different political, economic and societal developments. Fourty years of a socialist planned economy in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) resulted in massive environmental damage. Industrial productivity in 1989 was running at just one-third of the West German level. The capital stock was completely outdated. Urgent investments in the environmental infrastructure had not been made, and the air and water pollution represented acute risks to human health.
Following the collapse of the political system of the GDR and the fall of the Berlin wall on 9 November 1989, the ecological rehabilitation and development of the new Länder became one of the urgent priorities of environmental policy. The essential provisions of the environmental legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany came into force in the German Democratic Republic as early as 1 July 1990 – at the same time as the economic, monetary and social union. Transitional periods were fixed in order to meet the various standards. Comprehensive aid programmes were set up in order to support ecological reconstruction. The environmental legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany also became applicable in the new Länder with the integration of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thüringen in the Federal Republic of Germany on 3 October 1990.
The starting situation in the new Länder in 1990 was characterised, in particular in the industrial centres and the main population centres, by a high level of air pollution with harmful substances. Modernisation of the energy industry, restructuring of industry with the decommissioning of obsolete manufacturing facilities and their replacement with modern equivalents together with a series of additional factors, such as the renewal of the motor vehicle stock, very quickly led to a decrease in pollution in the new federal Länder.
Until the start of the 1990s, the air pollutant sulphur dioxide (SO2) was still one of the main components of urban air pollution in Germany. Whereas SO2 pollution in the old federal territory had already fallen drastically in the 1970s as a result of emission reduction measures, until 1990 the industrial conurbations in eastern Germany continued to belong to the regions of western Europe that were most seriously affected by environmental pollution because of the outdated chemical and lignite processing industries. Around one-third more sulphur dioxide and particulates were emitted in the territory of the present-day Saxony-Anhalt alone in 1989 than in the whole of the former federal territory. SO2 emissions are now at a level at which harmful effects on human health and vegetation are scarcely detectable. This positive trend can be attributed to the systematic modernisation of the large combustion plants and conversion to new energy sources (natural gas and mineral oil), including in the case of small combustion plants.
The successful reduction of SO2 pollution by emission reduction measures, above all in power stations and industrial plants, has resulted in a situation in which today air pollutants from the transport sector are increasingly in evidence. These include above all particulate matter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which, because of their high concentrations of airborne pollutants and the resulting risks to health, are at the forefront of public interest.
PM10: From the late 1980s/early 1990s to the end of the 1990s, there was a steep reduction in the concentration and a continuous alignment of the particulate matter level in the new Länder, above all in conurbations like Halle/Leipzig. Stagnation has been noted in both east and west since 2000 (see the figure below).
The applicable annual NO2 limit value for the protection of human health (a mandatory 40 µg/m³ for 2010) is not being met at many urban measurement points in Germany. Recordings at more than half of the urban traffic-oriented air measurement stations exceed this value. In residential areas remote from roads with heavy volumes of traffic, only a small number of measurement stations currently exceed the annual NO2 limit value that will be applicable from 2010. However, NO2 pollution in the new Länder - and also in the Halle/Leipzig conurbation - is lower than in the old Länder. This is because of the smaller number of vehicle mileage per year, the high proportion of new, relatively low-emission vehicles and the different composition of the fleet (diesel/petrol) in the east and west. In Halle/Leipzig the NO2 annual mean values lie below the stipulated limit values. Nevertheless, there are still instances of the limit values being exceeded at urban, traffic-oriented stations (for example: Leipzig city centre measurement station).
The pollution of all German rivers by nutrients and harmful substances has fallen significantly since the construction of wastewater treatment plants with third-stage (phosphorus removal) and fourth-stage (nitrate removal) cleaning and the restriction of industrial discharges. From 1990, these measures were also adopted in the new Länder, with the result that the water quality in the eastern German rivers recovered significantly. The connection of the eastern German population to wastewater treatment plants at between 69-90 % is quite high (old Länder: 94-100 %), as is the performance of the purification plants (level of oxygen demand: new Länder: 1.3 –1.5; old Länder 1.3 – 1.4).
The impact of wastewater treatment plants can be seen, for example, in the distinct reduction in the pollution of the River Elbe by ammonium-linked nitrogen (see the figure below). Nitrate concentration, on the other hand, is decreasing only slowly in all German rivers, because the nitrate originating from agriculture which enters watercourses via diffuse sources cannot be controlled.
Rehabilitation measures and the disappearance of many branches of industry – for example in the area of the River Mulde and River Saale, which are tributaries of the River Elbe – have also brought about a significant reduction in the discharge of industrial heavy metals. This could be seen particularly clearly by the mid-1990s in the reduction in pollution of the River Elbe with mercury from the chemical industry in the region of Halle and in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, mercury is still present in higher concentrations (from former contamination) than in other rivers.
The content of harmful substances in the water of the River Elbe has fallen significantly, on the whole, in some cases by as much as 90 %, since the early 1990s as a result of the disappearance of many branches of industry and thanks to wastewater treatment plants. Thanks to this positive development, the first International Elbe Swimming Day was held in June 2002, after swimming in the River Elbe had not been permitted for many decades for health reasons (Source: ARGE Elbe).
The water structure of watercourses in the new Länder is far better than in the old Länder. The following figure shows that, morphologically, the River Elbe is in a better position than other German rivers by a considerable margin. Because the economy was weak, the rivers in the GDR had been narrowed and 'managed' significantly less than in the old Länder. More natural habitats survived as a consequence of this – one of the reasons why the rivers were able to recover relatively quickly once the levels of harmful substances had been reduced.
The number of fish species and microorganisms is also increasing in eastern Germany along with the constant improvement in the water quality of the eastern German waters. The River Elbe was once one of the most abundant fish rivers in Europe. Even in 1900, the catches of the Elbe fishermen, at around 100 kilograms per hectare, were twice as high as in lakes. These included both indigenous fish species and migratory fish, which moved between the river system and the open sea. The most spectacular migratory fish species included the sturgeon, of which specimens of more than three metres in length were taken on occasion. Stocks were already on the decline in the 19th century – caused by expansion measures in the river and finally by industrial effluents in the 20th century. A number of fish stocks have recovered since the noticeable improvement in water quality around 1990. Since then, approximately 45 species are once again being recorded in the Middle Elbe, and there are even over 90 species in the Lower Elbe. One particularly positive feature, compared with rivers such as the Rhine or the Mosel, is that barrages are almost entirely absent in the German section (exception: Geesthacht), allowing endangered migratory fish to reach their spawning grounds.
The ecological crisis points in the economic zones of the former GDR, which were characterised by serious soil and groundwater contamination, were exposed with the unification of the two German states. In addition to extensive areas with contaminated sites left behind by the military and by uranium extraction in Thüringen and Saxony, these included above all the main centres of the chemical industry and the mining of lignite in the greater Leipzig/Bitterfeld/Halle/Merseburg region, copper mining and processing in the Mansfelder Land region, the lignite region of Niederlausitz and the coastal region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Damage to the countryside over a large area in the form of extensive holes left over from opencast mining and tips, a seriously disrupted water balance and abandoned landfill sites – in particular from lignite processing facilities and the chemical industry – represented a considerable risk to the environment.
With the completion of German reunification, either the new Länder or the Federal Republic of Germany became successors in title and as such were responsible for the rehabilitation of the contaminated sites on the former territory of the GDR. In December 1992, the Federal Government and Treuhandanstalt (THA) reached agreement with the Länder of Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thüringen for the joint financing of these tasks. An administrative agreement in respect of the financial arrangements for the contaminated sites was concluded for this purpose.
This agreement regulates proportionate funding by the Federal Government and the Länder. Prerequisite is the exemption by the Land authorities of the investors from responsibility for and the costs of all environmental damage that occurred before 1 July 1990, in accordance with the Environmental Protection Framework Act (Umweltrahmengesetz) / Act to Remove Obstacles to the Privatisation of Enterprises and to Promote Investment (Hemmnisbeseitigungsgesetz). Under this exemption, any claims asserted against the Länder are shared in the proportion 60 (Federal Government) to 40 (Länder). A cost-sharing arrangement of 75 (Federal Government) to 25 (Länder) was laid down for large-scale ecological projects. These costs will be reduced by the amount taken over by the purchaser of the property. The Federal Government and the Länder have already spent more than EUR 3 billion on more than 20 large-scale projects (see the locations overview below).
The Federal Government and the Länder have also been working together since 1992 on the task of lignite rehabilitation (for more details, see the section entitled Lignite rehabilitation) and have already invested EUR 8 million in this. The financing of the specific measures for lignite rehabilitation is met 75 % by the Federal Government and 25 % by the Länder. Supplementary measures to avert risks posed by any increase in the level of the groundwater are financed in equal parts by the Federal Government and the Länder.
A further mining rehabilitation programme should be completed by the year 2015, when the so called "Wismut rehabilitation programme" to rehabilitate and revitalise the radioactive and chemically and toxically contaminated legacy of the former uranium ore mining in Saxony and Thüringen. The Federal Government has sole financial responsibility for this programme, with a budget appropriation of EUR 6.2 billion.
Furthermore, numerous areas that were previously used by the military were returned to the economic cycle once again and rehabilitated for end users in the course of the conversion.

Attractive regions with a high landscape, natural and recreational value as well as modern locations for industry and commerce have been established on the former lignite open-cast mining sites of the German Democratic Republic's lignite industry. Lausitzer Seenland and Leipziger Neuseenland are prominent examples of these 'succession landscapes'. The rehabilitation and redesign of the sites is the responsibility of the government-owned company, Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH (LMBV), which is managing a non-privatised area of around 100 000 ha and rehabilitating and remodelling it according to the provisions of the mining and water use legislation of the Länder authorities.
The mining-related land rehabilitation is now largely complete, and almost all the planned lakes have been flooded. In view of the risk of acidification due to the high iron and sulphur content of the soils and the water logging of locations as a result of an increase in the level of the groundwater, the aftercare of stretches of water is particularly problematic, and for this reason science, administration and business were required to develop problem-solving strategies in close cooperation with one another. The scientific and technological expertise acquired in these regions has attracted considerable international interest and will henceforth also be made available to other countries via an international subsidiary company of LMBV.
The farmers in the GDR used 10 % more fertiliser per hectare of agricultural land than their counterparts in the West. 65 % of the fertiliser consisted of sewage sludge from in part heavily polluted wastewater treatment plants. 'Liquid manure high load areas' came into being, and high eluviation losses resulting from the heavy spatial concentration in 'livestock production' and the large quantity of liquid manure. Vegetation damage on a massive scale occurred around animal husbandry facilities within a large radius as a consequence of ammonia gas concentrations in the air.
By comparison with the West, twice the quantity of pesticides was applied. This resulted in the severe impoverishment of agricultural soils and contamination of stretches of water. Tests on cereals, vegetables and fruits revealed high concentrations of harmful substances.
Since reunification, agricultural land use, in particular in the new Länder, has changed for the better. Farmers now apply fertilisers and pesticides only to a limited extent. Many areas were no longer fertilised at all in the period following reunification in an effort to allow them to recover. The instruments that have brought about significant changes in the new Länder include the German fertiliser regulation (Düngeverordnung), according to which the rate of application of commercial fertilisers is limited to 170 kgN/ha, and a core waiting period must be observed for application outside the growing season.
Since 2000, the new Länder, like the old Länder, have promoted the expansion of organically cultivated agricultural land. Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where organically cultivated agricultural land has a share of more than 8 to 10 % of the total cultivated area, are today among the leading federal Länder.
Particularly at a time of drastic decline in the biological diversity of Germany, in which an increasing number of habitats are being destroyed and as a result plant and animal species are threatened with extinction, eastern Germany can report some encouraging successes in the area of nature conservation. The populations of white stork, eagle owl, peregrine falcon, otter and salmon are recovering. It has also been possible to downgrade a number of highly threatened species on the Red List, for example several species of bat, into lower threat categories.
The proportion of the land area represented by national conservation areas in the new Länder is directly comparable with that of the old Länder. It is appropriate at this point to highlight the areas that have a particularly strong need of protection, such as the nature conservation areas. According to § 23(1) of the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG), these serve the conservation, development or restoration of biotopes or communities of wild animal and plant species. The national parks fall into the same category. According to § 24 of the Act, these are areas that have to be uniformly protected, are extensive in size, have particular features, meet the requirements for nature conservation areas in most of the area they cover, and are in a condition that is only slightly if at all influenced by humans in most of the area they cover. As the figure shows, in addition to North Rhine-Westphalia there are two new Länder that exhibit the highest land area proportion for nature conservation areas/national parks in Germany: Brandenburg with 7.4 % and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with 6.3 %.
The 'Grünes Band', the strip of land which formerly included the border between the Federal Republic and the GDR, deserves special mention at this point. This green belt, an area of around 7 000 hectares that had been inaccessible to people for decades, is characterised by its particular abundance of endangered species and habitats and functions as a nationally important biotope network.
The increasing use of renewable energy, the systematic promotion of the efficient use of energy, the replacement of obsolete industrial plants by modern industrial plants and climate-relevant measures for waste management, such as the closure of dumps and their modernisation in line with the very latest technology, have ensured a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the new Länder. In this way, since the 1990s, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the new Länder have been reduced by about half and this has helped enormously towards the achievement of Germany's climate protection goals. Saxony alone, a traditionally industrial location, reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 63 % in the first decade following reunification (Environmental Report 2007, Free State of Saxony).
The new Länder in particular have been given a new impetus by the boom in renewable energies. Leading companies for wind power, photovoltaics and biofuels have relocated here. In the energy supply sector, the eastern part of Germany thus plays an increasingly important role – supported by funding from the European Union (EU).
Status 2008/2009:
Germany is an increasingly attractive location for solar energy. The country already has 150 factories for the manufacture of solar technology for the production of heat and power. Most new start-ups are in eastern Germany.
Brandenburg, with 3 128 megawatts of newly installed wind power capacity, occupies second place in Germany after Lower Saxony. Saxony-Anhalt follows in third place with 2 533 megawatts, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is in sixth place with 1 233 megawatts (in each case this means new capacity since 2006).
In view of the very high consumption of non-renewable raw materials, the supply and use of renewable raw materials are becoming increasingly important. Germany leads the world in the production of biodiesel. Two-thirds of all German biodiesel production plants and the largest bioethanol plants are in the new Länder. The high technological level, both in the eastern German research sector and in the companies themselves, has contributed to this. In Saxony, according to the Ministry of the Environment of Saxony, there are 210 plants in which solid or liquid biomass (predominantly wood and vegetable oil) is used for heating and energy production. The generation of electricity from solid biomass has more than doubled compared with 2003. In addition, 54 biogas plants supply electricity and to some extent heating to public and private supply networks. 640 biogas plants could be operated in Saxony with the potential available in the agricultural sector alone.

The game was arranged in a hurry and sold out in 48 hours. The Harlem Globetrotters, everybody's favorite basketball team when it came to fun, were coming to Seattle. Their opponent would be Seattle University in a semi-serious game.
The Globetrotters didn't lose. They toyed with opponents and made them look silly. They turned businesslike only when a game got close, and that wasn't often.
In the midst of a 108-game worldwide tour celebrating their silver anniversary, the popular Globetrotters agreed to a three-game exhibition series against college teams in the East, Midwest and West, honoring a request to raise proceeds for the U.S. Olympic Team competing that summer in Helsinki, Finland.
On Jan. 15, 1952, however, the showboat team gave back more to its country than envisioned: Seattle U, inspired by Johnny O'Brien's 43 points, pulled a shocking 84-81 upset before a sellout crowd of 12,500 in a raucous atmosphere at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
"[Al] Brightman kept telling us how we can win the game," O'Brien said, referring to his SU coach. "Everything he said was positive. It was, 'Don't think about who they are, think about what we're doing.' That was the catalyst."
With Seattle U returning to full Division I championship eligibility for the first time in 33 years -- when the Redhawks host Washington in a women's soccer match at Championship Field on Aug. 17 -- this is the 14th in a series of 33 stories replaying memorable SU events previously held at the NCAA's top level (1952-80).
The Globetrotters-SU game was a huge spectacle. Famed trumpeter Louis Armstrong, singer Velma Middleton and actress Joan Caulfield were brought in to entertain the crowd. There were so many people jammed into the arena O'Brien remembers having trouble finding a path from the locker room to the court.
The teams played under college rules, except for fouls, choosing to adhere to the pro game's six. Officials allowed the game to get rough. Screens were physical. There was a lot of pushing. Seattle U never once backed down.
"I think we kind of surprised them in the beginning with our quickness and we jumped on them," O'Brien said. "We took them out of their game. They never did get to do any of the clowning-around stuff."
O'Brien, the nation's leading college scorer at the time, was continually fed the ball inside and a host of defenders, including the great Goose Tatum, couldn't stop his short hook shots.
"One time, I had the ball in the three-second lane and had to get rid of it, everybody was covered, so I flipped it through Goose's arms and it went into the hoop, " he said. "Goose came running down the floor and said, 'Knock that off, little guy, that's my shot.' I started laughing and he started laughing."
The Chieftains were mobbed once the game ended. The Globetrotters were respectful, but chagrined by the outcome. Owner/promoter Abe Saperstein promptly canceled the other two charity games against Notre Dame and either Army or Navy.
"We ran into the Globetrotters again in Philly, when they were playing St. Joseph's, and they were still unhappy about losing that ballgame," O'Brien said.

City council strikes deal to protect Winchester landmark
4:00pm Thursday 24th October 2013 in News
CIVIC chiefs have agreed a deal to protect the long-term future of one of Winchester's most important landmarks.
The city council will sign a 40-year lease with bicycle charity Sustrans which sees the charity take over maintenance of the Hockley Viaduct.
It follows Sustrans teaming up with the council to on a £500,000 project to repair the Victorian railway structure last year and add it to the National Cycle Network.
Cabinet rubber stamped the lease at a meeting last Wednesday, where Cllr Victoria Weston, portfolio holder for built environment, said it was a great deal for the council.
She said: "The lease is 40 years long at £1 per annum which is great value for the council. Sustrans will inspect the structure and maintain it in a good condition for the period of the lease. They will be excellent custodians of the viaduct."
The council will pay Sustrans £120,000 as a contribution towards the long-term maintenance of the structure but Cllr Weston confirmed there was a payback clause in case of a major fault that cannot be repaired.
The viaduct was officially made part of the cycle network in February and was opened by Hampshire-based Olympic gold-medallist Dani King.
The brick and concrete structure is more than 600 metres long and has 33 arches.

I'm looking for my next bulking (sept).
Is there anything who don't require PCT and possibly oral?
I used Ostarine RX for my last, I gained good weight but I'm not 100% satisfied.
MAN Sports pr-xt, orotine, and gameday....
I understand you support them but srs. I don't think those stuff can let me gain more mass than "normal"
Not a believer in natural anabolics I take it

If you're referencing anabolics then perhaps this is the wrong section.....
Yeah, "bulking" section could just mean caloric surplus. PCT wouldn't mean anything. OP wants to ask something but doesn't know quite what

You can try ergogenics which will help you move more weight in the gym which will correlate into increased size? But nothing outside AAS/ PH use will make you gain more mass than normal, and those require, in varying degrees of sophistication, some sort of PCT.

just inder 5ft, 132lbs, 418lbs power clean an jerk on the final attempt.
size does not = strength.
If its a matter of understanding what PCT is, just ask.... we'll tell you. And you can usually obtain them quasi-legally. Google that part. Just type the words Reputable Research Chemicals with it....
Other than that, Creatine, Nitric Oxide, and any herb/plant/root/bean/acid that increases testosterone and GH naturally.
your heavy hitters will be D Aspartic Acid and L-dopa...
If you use a powerfull supplement to gain muscle, pct is always necessary.
im guessing ArA and abe would be as good as it gets naturally. however I did get a large strength gain on that natadrol stuff awhile back but its not available any longer. aside from these.. anabolics will all shut you down to a certain degree.

'Glee' Season 4: Our character wish list [Pictures]
Calling all Gleeks: It's the moment you've not-so-patiently waited for all summer! Season 4 kicks off 9 p.m. Sept. 13 on Fox, but you can catch up on some of your favorite characters here. By L'Oreal Thompson
Image 1 of 11
Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michele)
Where we left off: Our favorite diva was last seen singing around the streets of New York after her fiance broke off their engagement and sent her on a train to the Big Apple to pursue her dreams at NYADA.
What we want to see happen: A circa 2004 "Stripped" version of Rachel a la Christina Aguilera. OK, maybe not so X-rated, but I'd love to see her ditch the schoolgirl skirts. And her NYADA dance instructor, Cassandra (played by Kate Hudson), and a possible new love interest may just be the ones to help her. |

You didn't see me at TGS today because I'm off looking for Bigfoot. This is a type of plant Bigfoots use to camouflage their secret villages in the forest. Summertime is a good time to go Bigfoot searching because the high temperatures make them move more slowly. I will update you in a few months.
Also I heard this there's this guy who looks a lot like me except he's even cooler: Judah Friedlander The World Champion. And he's doing stand-up shows all over the US and CANADA this summer. Http://www.judahfriedlander.com
Maybe I'll check out one of his shows this summer.
See you in a few months.

17-year-old rapper Chief Keef is already getting a head start on his baby mama drama -- in fact, he's already being sued for child support.
The woman filed the petition for child support in Chicago, claiming Keef -- real name Keith Cozart -- fathered a baby daughter with her back in 2011.
The woman's exact age is unclear, but according to the docs, she currently takes classes at a Chicago middle school.
Cozart -- who has since worked with Kanye West, Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross -- was 15 at the time.
The woman is suing Keef for an undisclosed amount of child support, including health insurance and other medical expenses. Calls to both Keef's people and the woman's family were not returned.
Keef's no stranger to legal problems -- he was just sentenced to 60 days in juvey for violating his probation on a gun charge.
Good to see Back Ground checks are working hard for juvenile Delinquents to own guns. It figures he cant keep it in the pants look who his role models are!!!!!!!!
Who? I guess we should be happy he's working for now if he is...how sad. Give this kid some attention I'm sure this isn't the only baby mama that is going to show up....
So, I checked Youtube since I'd never heard of this kid. Mmm, yeah...Low budget, low quality. I could produce something better with my cell phone and a laptop, which begs the questions: Was TMZ paid to get this kid's name out there?
And we wonder what's wrong with the world we live in . why would people support him or his rap music .Just a common criminal a street thug .
Why would you name yourself that when obviously everyone will call you Chief Queef? A queef is smarter than him. I guess that's in insult to queefs. Sorry queefs.
