Wikitravel talk:Business listings reliability Expedition
Too harsh?[edit]
I was a bit surprised to see this response to my queries. Was I too hard on a new contributor? (See also my comment on a different page, here. I don't want to drive new users away. LtPowers 13:58, 15 July 2011 (EDT)
businesses self-adding listings[edit]
(unindent) Very much agree with Ryan on #5, take "should we allow businesses to self-add listings" as one of the examples that we can't agree even on fundamental principles of this project. --DenisYurkin 05:12, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
I always believed Wikitravel should be ultimately better than TripAdvisor in reliably recommending the best restaurant and hotels. Among other things, TripAdvisor forces a reader to read too much reviews per hotel/restaurant while we can summarize what's most important for making choice in a single paragraph.
As for "you won't rely on Wikitravel listing except when created by myself"--maybe we simply don't try hard enough to make Wikitravel listings trustworthy--but we should actually? --DenisYurkin 06:51, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
OK, let's start with a simple thing. Is there consensus that for every destination we should aim to list only restaurants and hotels which are the best for a traveller; this is what star acticles should only list in Sleep/Eat; our listings ultimately should be reliable and trustworthy; and we do bother to achieve that whenever possible?
Criteria of what is best, how to select them and how to describe hotels & restaurants to be discussed later. --DenisYurkin 15:43, 8 August 2011 (EDT)
Made a smallest first step possible :-), here it is: Wikitravel:Business listings reliability Expedition. Please plunge forward in clarifying its goals and anything else. I never started an expedition, and a bit depressed by a blank paper syndrome about it. --DenisYurkin 19:09, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
Starting out[edit]
Per Denis' I took a stab at expanding this. It seems like there might be two good ways to get this going:
To the second point, a couple ideas that occurred to me are making article status more prominent (perhaps revisiting Template:Title-icons and doing a bit more with those) and possibly implementing icons that could be added to listings such that a rollover would show users who "verified"/"endorsed" the listing and when they did so, for example:
The "verified"/"endorsed" icon would obviously benefit greatly from using a template, should probably use something other than a star, and ideally should change the image depending on the number and freshness of the people verifying/endorsing. -- Ryan • (talk) • 20:49, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
(Re-indenting) To summarize where this discussion stands so far, there seem to be three proposals:
Any other suggestions? Is there enough interest to start figuring out details of the above three and to then see if there is enough support to actually start moving ahead with them? -- Ryan • (talk) • 20:35, 29 August 2011 (EDT)
Approved icons[edit]
Following up from the above discussions, here are some issues that I think need to be resolved in order to move ahead with the above approved/endorsed template:
Regarding #1, I would suggest it means that the information is accurate and the person(s) listed would recommend the place.
Regarding #2, I would suggest the following:
Regarding #3, a "checkmark" icon has been suggested, and I might propose that we come up with a few versions that could reflect how many people "approved" an entry (1-2, 3-4, 5, etc). The template can be an inclusion in a listing tag of the form <!-- please read http://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel:Approvers before approving a listing -->{{approved|User:Wrh2, 4-Sep-2011|User:Shiz, 3-Aug-2011}}.
Hopefully that's enough to get the discussion moving along... -- Ryan • (talk) • 13:13, 4 September 2011 (EDT)
On Approvers/Validators idea, reading on something similar here and remembering how Michelin Guide system of inspection works, I'm afraid we should have a closed-membership "club" of contributors eligible to "approve", where new members can join only when someone from existing members recommends him (basing on history of contributions, i.e. not necessarily to know him personally in real life). Otherwise the system can be gamed easily: business owner publishes recommendation, registers a fake user account, waits until account is eligible and "approves"/validates his own listing.
In other words, there should be some reliable evidence that a user allowed to validate is a traveller, and mostly interested in helping fellow travellers -- rather than a business owner/affiliate and/or interested in promoting businesses more than in helping travellers. Either one of the "club members" knows him personally--or his history of edits clearly indicates that interest. --DenisYurkin 18:42, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
Title icons[edit]
Some ideas for expanding use of title icons:
Additional ideas/comments? -- Ryan • (talk) • 13:13, 4 September 2011 (EDT)
Reviewed templates[edit]
Per Peter's comment above, it would be helpful to have a unobtrusive template that could be added to article sections or full articles indicating when the article/section was last reviewed for accuracy, and who did so. Currently articles that are used for Wikitravel Press books get reviewed fairly often, but a user reading the article would have no idea that an extensive review had been recently done. The issues to resolve with such a template are similar to those for the approved icon:
For #1, those who review articles for Wikitravel Press are probably best qualified to say what their current criteria are and we can then build from there.
For #2, I'd suggest something similar to the Wikitravel:Approvers process, where we have a page that outlines requirements and ask people to sign it before using this template. What those requirements are is up for discussion.
For #3, I'm sure there are lots of suggestions :)
-- Ryan • (talk) • 13:13, 4 September 2011 (EDT)
Who posted the listing[edit]
I would like to argue that any listing using "we" or "our" should be not edited but summarily deleted, as obviously self-interested and, therefore, unreliable. Like any other rule, this would be subject to exceptions on a case-by-case basis, but I think that whenever it's obvious a listing was posted by a self-interested person, whether because it's 100% obvious it's touting ("well-appointed rooms," et al.) or because "we" or "our" was used, unless other, non-interested people can vouch for the place, it should not be listed - and I mean probably never listed. Ikan Kekek 23:05, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
Here's the problem: Unless someone without financial interest in a business can vouch for its being a good one, there is good reason to distrust self-interested listings, even if detouted in style by a subsequent editor. What is your solution in the very numerous cases that an administrator has no knowledge of the establishment other than an obviously self-interested listing? I can detout, but I still don't trust the detouted listing if I am personally unfamiliar with the establishment. Ikan Kekek 02:14, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
what will make us more reliable than Tripadvisor etc ratings?[edit]
I just realized that none from the above suggestions, even if successful, will make us more reliable or reputable than Tripadvisor's ratings on restaurants or hotels for a destination. And the truth is that I don't have any ideas how to change that. --DenisYurkin 16:33, 29 November 2011 (EST)

Using the Elekon Batscanner Stereo takes your enjoyment of bat detecting to a whole new level. The effect of having stereo microphones, one on each side of the unit, and headphones is to give a totally immersive experience of hearing the bats flitting and flying all around you. You really have to try it to believe how exciting it is.
This heterodyne detector is also very easy to use, because it automatically tunes itself to the frequency of the bats it hears and displays the frequency on an lcd display, so you can differentiate between different types of bat without any manual tuning.
This unit comes supplied with stereo headphones and batteries ready fitted.

April 21, 2006
A group of Indiana high school history teachers from across the state are meeting with Wabash faculty and students on campus in a groundbreaking effort to explore how the latest research in world history can be incorporated into the classroom.
"Our goal is to forge connections between college level research and the teaching of world history on the ground," said Assistant Professor of History Rick Warner.
Warner, with history department chair Stephen Morillo and teacher education professors Michele Pittard and Tammy Turner-Vorbeck, is a co-organizer of "World History and the Liberal Arts: Connecting with Secondary Teaching."
"So much has happened in this field in the past decade," Warner said, "and not all of it has made its way into the high schools."
"In a world of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence, we who teach young people from 12 to 22 cannot afford to ignore the impact of global issues on our own nation's history, its politics, its religions, and in our own daily lives," Morillo said.
Students from the College's Craft and Theory of World History course were among the first presenters at the conference.
"This sort of class, where students who will be teaching history essentially study the philosophy of history is a rare thing," Warner said. Other Wabash students will present micro-teaching workshops Friday afternoon to show ways they're using the latest research in their student teaching.
"I think this conference will help me elaborate upon and enhance what I'm already doing in the classroom," said veteran Benton Central history teacher Ed Robson after a morning session focusing on connections and comparisons between world cultures, traditions, and their histories. "I always try to find a theme—such as "power" or "revolutions"—and organize the class around those, because it makes a better connection with kids. I'm hoping to find more of those connections and themes to draw them in."
The two-part conference will conclude in June, when high school teachers will return to campus with their own micro-teaching presentations.

Fairfield Gap
By Brad Arnold
Known as the City of Fountains, Kansas City seriously has some great winch spots. Most occur in the suburbs, generally in newer housing developments. I found this beauty a few years ago, but didn't really start hitting it until last summer.
Fairfield gap, as it's been known to be called, happens to be located right next to a Fairfield Inn and an apartment complex pool in Olathe, KS, on the southwest side of KC. It is really easy to go to this place and take an hour long set behind the winch, even though it is located right off a major road and highway. I would have to say that this is definitely my favorite spot we have winched so far, mainly because we've only been asked to leave twice and the locals at the pool love our company and think it is the coolest thing ever.
The top pool is pretty smelly (we've seen a few dead fish…) and the landing is a little over waist deep with rocks on the bottom. Any time of the day is primo, but the evenings are usually a little less busy in the area. Also, winching at night is a great way to add some difficulty to any manuever here.
The entire thing is really easy and convenient, to sum it up. Back your vehicle up in the parking lot, walk the rope over grass to start, sit on the concrete ledge in the upper pond, and boom. You're winching. There is plenty of setup time before you make the drop, so no worries there. Myself, Richard Bayly, Keaton Bowlby, and Reed Leible were the first to session Fairfield and I'm almost 100% positive that no one else has. If you're ever in the Kansas/Missouri/Kansas City area, give me a call and we will work something out.

and when is Vintage Main? I guess it's mislabeled as trial on Sunday right?

I have changed names of the tournaments for better understanding :-)
Pretty obvious that Team Rugstar will be trying to take it down again.
former: Team SpasticalAction & Team RugStar Berlin
Team MTG Berlin
I have a mission: To defend my Crown as the Legacy Champion :)
so this time i'll be there with my playmat i got the last time
@sawatarix: This time I will make it (more) difficult for you ;)
Will be there, the last Prague Eternal Weekend was already awesome!
I'll definitely be there. Prague Eternal in July was already a great tournament, thanks for adding this great event to the map of European Eternal classics.
The only thing i dislike is the handing out of two byes to Trial winners; it's simply too much.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning of
Land TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
Private session with Sandreline? As anyone seen her before? :)Sandreline will have private sessions
Death and taxes!!
Play 4CB!
Another Draft Blog
Adress of the site was added.
Ah I want to come too! never even been to Prague! And it's awesome that there is room for Vintage as well! Hope I will convince some people to join me ^_^!
Very nice event, Im sad to be UNABLE to attend for once, work and family restrictions apply.
Ill be seeing a bunch of you fkrs in america the week after anyway.
"Brainstorm and Fetchlands are interesting although I don't know if Brainstorms alone are worth it right now, because Stifle is a common card. " -Peddi 2015.
Hello all,
I have just added the prizes :-)
Check, comment, enjoy...
We intend coming down with a small Belgian team, assuming I get the logistics sorted out in time (Zuzy, any information on that ho(s)tel yet? I'lm the guy who contacted you on facebook).
Lans89: If you want to, I can keep you informed on how our arrangements work out. I'm assuming it's you, Tim?

Obama Wants HIS Government To Help You Sell ... Your House
The man who worries about being able to address, and make more efficient, the 7% of all electricity usage here in this country with the push to change the efficiency standards in the manufacturing of CFL and Neon light bulbs, now wants to be able to have a say in how one is able to sell their largest personal asset, their home.
The level of control that was passed by Congress early Friday morning of this last week (June 26, 2009) in the form of an energy efficiency bill (CAP & TRADE) had a 300+ page amendment be attached to it at the last minute, just before the vote ... allowing NO time for the congressmen to read what they were actually voting on, sound familiar?
The House Minority Leader, Republican John Boehner wasn't happy with the way the people's representatives were being railroaded and he decided to use the only power he had to get some of the word out about the destructive nature to personal freedoms of the CAP & TRADE bill as it was written.
"I hate to do this to all of you, I do, but when you file a 309 page amendment at 3:00 in the morning, someone needs to work on it," Boehner told his colleagues. "I want to make sure everyone understands what's in this 300 page amendment."
A press statement put out by Boehner's office confirmed he was launching the House equivalent of a Senate filibuster.
"We expect it may take a while, but Members of Congress, and - more importantly - the American people have a right know what the House is voting on," the statement said.
What John Boehner was able to do in sixty short minutes is to highlight many of the most damning aspects of this bill designed to aid in the reduction of CO2 and/or help the environment.
This excerpted and edited from Newsvine "Comments" -
Boehner protests last-minute climate amendment
Comment by, Lisa Schneider - Posted #1.2 - Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:22 PM EDT
I watched Rep. John Boehner for the entire thing.
This "amendment", if not the whole CAP & TRADE Bill, will ruin our country ... I am an independent, having voted for Obama, and unless you watched his entire hour going through this amendment, then you have no clue how bad it is ... it is bad.
Just to give you a taste:
Carbon credits will be commodities and traded as such on the open market (not too unlike bundled sub-prime mortgages to unsuspecting investors).
Every single licensed contractor in this country will have to go through an additional licensing process so they know how to meet the new green codes, and all building materials used by the contractor will need to meet those green codes too.
Imports will be regulated forcing other countries to either not import or meet our guidelines ... hello trade warfare ... amendments try to force other countries to abide by our regulations.
No citizen in the United States (or anyone else) will be able to sell their home to another citizen of the United States (or anyone else) until they pay to bring the older home up to new green code standards ... complete overhaul of appraisal industry will be needed to properly evaluate home values within strict Government guidelines for valuation/regulations.
The list goes on and on ... extends from home lending to well, everything. Think of it like this ... if you emit methane as a natural digestive process, the Government will be watching and there will be a price to pay.
If you value your freedom, thank Representative John Boehner for reading this amendment and making sure we knew as much as possible about it ... then call your Senators and literally beg them to vote no.

The scoring started early Friday night in Middletown's first game of the season as they routed Smyrna High 48-19.
The scoring started early Friday night in Middletown's first football game of the season as they routed Smyrna High 47-19 in the annual Harvest Bowl game.
The game was played at Smyrna High School.
Senior Tommy Davis scored the first touchdown of the night with a 22-yard pass from quarterback Darius Wade. With that first touchdown, the Cavaliers never looked back.
Senior running back Jamar Baynard led in scoring with three touchdowns - 3-yard run, 13-yard run, and 5-yard run. Junior Dennis Berger followed suit with two touchdowns. Junior Godwin also had a touchdown with a 19-yard pass from Wade.
After the game, Head Coach Mark DelPercio was happy with the victory but there are plenty of things the team needs to improve upon. And even though the team enters the season having won the state championship last year 27-23 over Newark, DelPercio said the team is still going to take it one week at a time.
"Our focus is always on the next opponent, not the season. We take it one week at a time," he said.
Not only was the win the first of the season for the defending state champions, but it was their fourth Harvest Bowl win since the rivalry game was reinstated in 2009. The Harvest Bowl started in 1985 as a game between the two local schools and ended in 2001. The game started back up again in 2009, two years after Smyrna jumped up to Division I ball. Middletown leads the series 17-4.
Next up for the Cavaliers is a game at Glasgow Friday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m.

That looks to be an awfully clean and straight old Ford! Excellent truck, stout and simple. Late models worry me for trips out into nowhere because there are too many things that can put their lights out. On that Ford, if you have a problem you can see it and probably fix it. But if all the running gear is fresh, you most likely WON'T have a problem, regardless of what the Ford/Chevy trash talkers say.tatonka wrote: yep , previous owner said about 13mpg so when its loaded it will hopefully be 10mpg
But - having owned several similar Fords and Chevys, I'm thinking that 13 MPG is "optimistic" and 10 MPG with a camper and all loaded heavy isn't likely. I usually got about 7 MPG on the BM trip and maybe 10 MPG empty.

Recently, students in Troup County School System (TCSS) received some encouraging news when asked to write essays about overcoming obstacles – their writings would be entered into a contest with Scholastic Publishing. The completed works would be shared with Sharon Robinson, the daughter of Jackie Robinson, before a winner was named.
Teachers and students focused on the book Promises to Keep; a story chronicling Jackie Robinson's rise to prominence in Major League Baseball amid breaking the color barrier for the popular sport. The prompt asked students to show how they use Jackie Robinson's values to face their own barriers, making the writing relevant to their personal lives. While the essay was a perfect addition to the TCSS curriculum, it was also a rigorous lesson that made students think beyond the classroom.

Prospect of the Week: November 19, 2013
We continue our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their recent contributions on and off the ice.
The Prospect of the Week for November 19, 2013 is … Jonathan Drouin, C/W (Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL, Canada).
There have been two Jonathan Drouins to play this season: the motivated one and the unmotivated one.
The unmotivated one is one of the Quebec league's best players, surely worthy of an all-star nod.
The motivated one is simply otherworldly. We're not quite sure which world that is, but its known for its MVP-level hockey. Actually, Drouin won the Canadian Hockey League MVP last year while playing with top-tier linemates Nathan MacKinnon (Avalanche) and Martin Frk (Red Wings) and this year his numbers are better at this point of the season while MacKinnon is in the NHL and Frk the minor pros.
Last year, Drouin was one of only a few Q players to average more than two points per game. This year, he was close with a respectable 16 points in 10 games until Halifax coach Dominique Ducharme had a sit-down meeting with the unmotivated Drouin to talk about his focus and passion (or lack thereof following being cut from the Lightning) and now the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 NHL draft is well over that two-points-per-game level. The motivated Drouin has averaged more than three points per game in his last seven contests (23 points) for a season total of 39 points (13 goals) in 17 games. That's good enough for a second-place tie on the league's scoring table.
This past week, the motivated Drouin had 10 points in three games, including his first hat trick of the season. He was named the league's First Star of the Week and CHL Player of the Week for his efforts, so we have no choice but to give him his second-straight Bolt Prospect of the Week award, too.
Oh, and on Monday Drouin had three assists as captain in Team QMJHL's 3-2 win over Team Russia in the CHL-Russia Super Series on Monday.
Rules prevent Drouin from being called-up to Tampa Bay in the prolonged absence of Steven Stamkos, so Lightning fans will have to wait until next fall to see him in the NHL full-time.
In the meantime, it's okay to marvel at the performance of Drouin – the motivated one.
Don't expect the other Drouin to show up again anytime soon.
Drouin projects as an elite top-line winger at the NHL level. His playmaking ability and vision are exceptional; his control of the puck, particularly in tight on defenders and goaltenders is mesmerizing. Drouin may not have explosive speed but he's extremely shifty -- especially quick in his lateral movements -- and still moves up-ice very well. Often knocked for his supposed lack of size, he's got a compact frame at close to 6'0" and 190 pounds that he'll flesh out even more as a pro. Even now, he's strong on the puck and his skating ability makes him difficult for defenders to line up for solid contact.
We rank Drouin as Tampa Bay's No. 1 prospect ahead of goaltender Andrey Vasilevskiy and forward Nikita Kucherov.
2013-2014 Prospect of the Week winners:
November 13: Jonathan Drouin, C/W, Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL, Canada).
November 4: Nikita Kucherov, W, (Syracuse Crunch, AHL, USA).
October 29: Kristers Gudlevskis, G, (Syracuse Crunch, AHL, USA).
October 24: Henri Ikonen, W, (Kingston Frontenacs, OHL, Canada).
October 16: Nikita Kucherov, W, (Syracuse Crunch, AHL, USA).
October 9: Henri Ikonen, W, (Kingston Frontenacs, OHL, Canada).
October 1: Andrey Vasilevskiy, G, (Salavat Yulaev, KHL, Russia).
September 24: Adam Erne, W, Tampa Bay (NHL) and Quebec (QMJHL)

As Matt Simmons pointed out several years ago, the critical problem with post-peak exporting regions is that we would have two exponential functions (declining production and generally increasing consumption) working against net exports. From the point of view of importers, it is quite likely that we are facing a crash in oil supplies. In my opinion, what I have described as the "Iron Triangle" is doing everything possible to keep this message from reaching consumers.
In an essay posted on The Oil Drum blog in January 2006, I warned of an impending net oil export crisis, and I used what I called the Export Land Model (ELM) to illustrate the detrimental effect on net oil exports of declining production and increasing consumption. Figure One is a simple graph that illustrates the ELM.
Figure One
Until recently, I had never quantified what percentage of remaining Ultimate Recoverable Reserves (URR) on the ELM would be exported. Note that the ELM is a simple mathematical model for a hypothetical exporting country, but the model is based on actual producing regions.
Also note that the percentage of production that goes to consumption at the start of a production decline has a significant effect on when a net exporter becomes a net importer.
For example, the top five net exporters, in 2006 (Saudi Arabia, Russia, Norway, Iran and the UAE), consumed about 25% of their total liquids production. Offsetting this, many of the top exporters, based on our mathematical models, are at fairly advanced stages of depletion, especially the top three (Saudi Arabia, Russia and Norway), which showed a combined 3.8% decline in net oil exports from 2005 to 2006 (EIA, Total Liquids).
In any case, the answer to the question of how much oil would be exported from the ELM follows (I based URR on Texas URR versus peak production):
- URR 38 billion barrels (Gb), peaking at 55% of URR (approximately same range as Texas and Saudi Arabia, based on the premise that Saudi Arabia has peaked);
- Post-peak production decline rate of 5% per year (approximately the same range as Texas, historically, and Saudi Arabia, currently);
- Post-peak rate of consumption increase of 2.5% per year (less than half the current rate of increase in consumption for top exporters).
- Net exports go to zero in nine years (note that the UK went from peak exports to zero exports in about six years).
- From Year Zero and Peak Exports on the ELM, only about 10% of remaining recoverable reserves would be exported.
Given the accumulating evidence for declining net oil exports worldwide, it's useful to remember what the conventional wisdom is regarding world net export capacity, i.e., basically an infinite rate of increase in the consumption of a finite energy resource base. While many economists don't have a problem with this, back in the real world an infinite rate of increase tends to be hard to sustain.
Figure Two
Figure Two shows Total US Crude Oil and Petroleum Product Imports, which have increased at about 5% per year since 1990.
In my opinion, we will see an epic collision between the conventional wisdom expectations of a continued exponential rate of increase in net oil exports, versus the rapidly developing new reality of an exponential decline in net oil exports.
My frequent coauthor, "Khebab," is presently working on some mathematical models for production, consumption and net exports by the top net oil exporters. Based on the data that I have seen so far, it will not be a pretty picture. I suspect that the models may show that not much more than 25% of the remaining URR in the top net exporting countries will be exported.
In regard to discussions of Peak Oil and Peak Exports, I have described what I call the "Iron Triangle," which consists of: (1) Some major oil companies, some major oil exporters and some energy analysts; (2) The auto, housing and finance group and (3) The media group.
If one resides in the oil industry leg of the Iron Triangle, and if one has concluded that Peak Oil is upon us, or extremely close, does one say, "We cannot increase our production," and thereby encourage massive conservation and alternative energy efforts, or does one say "We choose not to increase production and/or we are temporarily unable to increase production for the following reasons (fill in the blank)?"
The latter course of action would tend to discourage emergency conservation efforts and alternative energy efforts, and it would encourage energy consumers to maintain their current lifestyles, perhaps by going further into debt to pay their energy bills, and it would in general have the net effect of maximizing the value of remaining reserves.
I always find it interesting that people like Matt Simmons (who are encouraging energy conservation) are widely blamed by some critics for high oil prices, while some major oil companies, some major oil exporters and some energy analysts are--in effect--encouraging increased energy consumption.
The prevailing message from some major oil companies, some major oil exporters and some energy analysts can be roughly summarized as follows "Party On Dude!"
Meanwhile, over on the other two legs of the Iron Triangle, the auto, housing and finance group is focused on selling and financing the next auto and house, and the media group just wants to sell advertising to the auto, housing and finance group. The media group is only too happy to pass on the "Party On Dude" message to consumers.
To some extent, what we are seeing across the board, from large sectors of the energy industry to the auto/housing/finance industry, media and beyond, is the "Enron Effect," i.e., many people know that we have huge problems ahead, but their paychecks are dependent on the status quo.
The suburbanites are caught in the middle of this, although they have a strong inclination to believe the prevailing message from the "Iron Triangle." As in the movie "The Sixth Sense," for most of us the automobile based suburban lifestyle is dead, but we just don't know it yet, and we see only what we want to see.
However, it is increasingly difficult for many suburbanites to ignore reality as it slowly dawns on them that Jim Kunstler was right when he said, "Suburbs represent the biggest misallocation of resources in the history of the world." We shall probably soon see that hell hath no fury like a Formerly Well Off suburbanite who just had his SUV repossessed and his McMansion foreclosed.
At least those of us trying to warn of what is coming can try to be ready with a credible plan to try to make things "Not as bad as they would otherwise be," when it becomes apparent to a majority of Americans that we cannot have an infinite rate of increase in the consumption of a finite energy resource base. How's that for a campaign slogan?
I recommend FEOT--Farming + Electrification Of Transportation (EOT), combined with a crash wind + nuclear power program.
Alan Drake has written extensively on EOT issues, for example in "Electrification of transportation as a response to peaking of world oil production."
In simplest terms, we are soon going to need jobs for hordes of angry unemployed males, and in my opinion "FEOT" is a way to put them into productive jobs.
On an individual basis, I would also recommend "ELP," which is summarized in the following article: "The ELP Plan: Economize; Localize and Produce."
Good luck to all of us. We are going to need it.

What's in a name? EPKs vs. IPKs vs. SMNRs vs. MNRs vs. NMRs…
June 9, 2008 in Electronic Press Kit, Internet Press Kit, New Media Release, Social Media News Release | Tags: ekit, Electronic Press Kit, EPK, Internet Press Kit, IPK, MNR, Multi-media News Release, New Media Release, NMR, PWR New Media, Release It, SMNR, SMR, Social Media News Release, Social Media Release | Leave a comment
Every day I talk to clients about the same thing: how to make their digital press release more effective. That part is easy—we are absolutely married to the idea that if you give highly targeted journalists and bloggers a good release and add the info (images, video, links, quotes, facts, etc) that makes covering a story easier and more interesting, you'll get better pick-up. It is the golden rule of PR: treat journalists as they want to be treated. I love that part (especially all the great success stories I hear from our clients!)
What is complicated about these ongoing conversations with clients is remembering how their organization or PR firm refers to digital releases. The semantics vary from IPK (internet press kit) to MNR (multi-media news release) to EPK (electronic press kis) to NMR (new media release) to SMNR (social media news release) to simply ekit. Honestly, it's exhausting (and frankly, the cognitive dissonance makes me need another cup of coffee)!
Are all those things exactly the same? No, not really. But there is an awful lot of overlap. As has been noted by many digital release advocate savvier than little old me, EPKs/IPKs/MNRs/SMNRs/NMRs can sometimes replace, and more often compliment, traditional releases, reaching new audiences or simply enhancing efforts with more traditional audiences. Here's a run down of the differences, incredibly over simplified in part because they are used a bit differently by different people:

[Adam: cross posting removed - original comment appears in Part II]
Europe Is Now Sinking Fast
With the Eurozone having being displaced from the financial headlines by the American presidential election, you might have briefly thought that its problems had gone away. They haven't.
It's just that the public is expected to absorb one major story at a time. And now that the presidential election is done and dusted, Europe is rapidly returning to the headlines. This is not desired by the powers-that-be, who desperately need us to believe things will get better with a little patience.
Behind the scenes, in order to prevent a systemic crisis, the authorities (through the European Central Bank) have been hard at work keeping a lid on interest rates for Spain and Italy, which act as everyone's market bellweather. Their strategy focuses on the hope that high bond yields are just a lack of 'animal spirits' – and if only they can be reignited!
Time is working against all countries in the Eurozone because the good are being dragged down by the bad.
You don't have to be an economic genius to understand that the perpetual uncertainty over the Eurozone's future has led to a widespread freeze on industrial investment and development. Industrial production is collapsing at an accelerating rate, falling 7% year-on-year in Spain and Greece, 4.8% in Italy, and 2.1% in France. The downtrends for industrial production are readily apparent in the chart below:
The businesses that are doing well (and there are some) are those businesses with strong balance sheets and solid export order books for non-Eurozone markets; unfortunately, they are concentrated in countries like Germany, Holland, Finland, and Austria. They are not located where they can contribute to economic progress in Spain, Italy, Greece, or France, and so they are not adding to the tax revenue desperately sought by those governments.
Despite the recent deal worked out with Greece, the old cliché about kicking the can down the road is close to becoming no longer possible. Deferring the inevitable is only a political option so long as there is no immediate damage from doing so. But this is no longer true in the Eurozone, where political procrastination is now identifiably responsible for social unrest. It's not just the trade unionists in revolt; now it is the middle classes as well. Doctors and teachers in Greece do not get paid anymore, and it is going that way in Spain, with regional governments surviving by simply not paying their bills. Government is destroying society, proving the falsity of the heretofore accepted belief (in Europe, anyway) that government makes society better. But then, anyone who has bothered to read Hayek's The Road to Serfdom will not be surprised.
What was not anticipated in Hayek's masterpiece is the divided state that is emerging. Greece is part of a larger EU and Eurozone bureaucracy and cannot achieve statist ends by turning her citizens into serfs. The government itself is subservient to higher authorities and is now having that medicine applied to it by its peers. Every visit by the Troika (collectively the European Central Bank (ECB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the European Commission) screws the Greek government further towards its own serfdom.
Keep in mind just one thing: Greece is utterly broke and cannot escape that fact. All of the posturing by the three Troika members is designed to avoid facing this reality. The political elite drive this party line and rigidly conform to it. However, there is increasing unease among powerful elements in the background, and in particular, sound money advocates in the Bundesbank are deliberately pushing for different solutions than those pursued to date.
Jens Weidmann, who is the Bundesbank's chief and its representative on the ECB's Governing Council, is remarkably outspoken on this issue. In a recent interview with the Rheinishe Post, Weidmann pointed out that the ECB and other national central banks in the Eurozone are now Greece's largest creditors and cannot take a haircut on Greek debt. Furthermore, they cannot write off this debt, since that would amount to monetary financing, which is forbidden under Eurozone rules. So, he concludes, the ECB is trapped.
This intervention is important, because – unusual among the world's central banks – the Bundesbank is viewed by the German public as the protector of the currency against the politicians. The German economy is traditionally driven by small savers, who are secure in the knowledge that the Bundesbank won't let them down by printing money. While this is perhaps a stereotypical view, a hangover from the days of the deutschemark, it is still true with respect to public attitudes. And this is important because there is greater public trust in the head of the Bundesbank, Jens Weidmann, than in any politician, including Chancellor Merkel. We must listen to Weidmann, not Merkel.
Returning to Greece, forward-looking markets have already written it off, but getting there is not easy. On 11 November, by a slender majority, the Greek Parliament agreed to the latest austerity demands from the Troika, in the belief that the Troika will come up with urgently needed cash. This is cash for an economy that is tanking with its industrial production collapsing. Deposits have flown from the banks, which, without the ECB's recycling of funds both through the TARGET2 settlement system and by taking in yet more worthless Greek debt as collateral, would themselves default. Tax revenues, insofar as they can be collected, are simply vaporizing. In the words of the classic Monty Python sketch, this parrot is dead, expired, and everyone knows it. Despite this, the Troika caved in (to ironic laughter from the press) on 13 November by giving Greece a further two years to get its government debt to GDP under 120%.
The concern, obviously, is that Greece is a dry run for Spain and Italy. It is also, as I argue below, a dry run for France, which is in terrible shape and deteriorating rapidly. This is why the protector of German savers, Herr Weidmann, is worried. He is signalling that the precedents set in dealing with Greece will ultimately destroy Germany.
In my last article for PeakProsperity.com, I argued that Germany, not Greece, should and will leave the Eurozone, perhaps taking Holland, Finland, Luxembourg, and Austria with her. It has always been clear that this is the last thing the political elite would consider, but unless Mrs Merkel reconsiders her position, she will be overruled by the Bundesbank, and perhaps also her own finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, who is known to be extremely concerned.
Anyway, let me throw in a little ray of sunlight for Germany (or is this the light an oncoming train in the tunnel?) For some reason that's not entirely clear, the outstanding TARGET2 claims by the Bundesbank on the other Eurozone national banks actually fell in October. The updated chart is below:
That's the good news. The bad news is that the previous down-tick (in December 2011) was in the wake of a drop in Spanish bond yields from over 7% in mid-2011 to a low of under 5% last January. This time, Spanish yields fell from 7.5% three and a half months ago to 5.4% a month ago. Italian government bonds have followed a similar pattern, as shown in the chart below:
It is perhaps logical to link changes in TARGET2 balances with changes in sentiment in Spanish and Italian bonds. These bond yields show signs of bottoming out, which is clearly visible on the chart. The only reason these bond yields have fallen to these low levels is because the ECB forced them there. But when these yields rise, which they probably will because there is little doubt the ECB's manipulation cannot succeed for very long, the accumulation of TARGET2 imbalances on the Bundesbank's book will quickly exceed €1 trillion.
And there is a further problem. One of the reasons French ten-year government bond yields are only 2.1%, and have even been briefly negative for her six-month bills, is that some of the capital flight out of Spain and Italy has been deposited in French banks, only to be then lent on to the French government.
But France, as I argue later in Part II of this article, is itself a basket case, only not yet widely recognised as such because it has benefited from this capital flight from Spain and Italy.
At some stage, probably in the next six months, these accumulated deposits in the French banks will, in turn, seek a safer home elsewhere – and where else but in the German banks? And so the Bundesbank faces the prospect of a second wave of capital flight and escalating TARGET2 imbalances.
Of course, this would not matter if it was certain that no one was leaving the Eurozone, and the TARGET2 system was constructed on the assumption that no one ever would. One could argue that Greece leaving would not be too much of a problem, other than the precedent it would create. This is why it is so important to keep Spain and Italy in the system.
In Part II: Europe's Mexican Standoff we explain why the answer to the question of Who will ultimately pick up the tab? when a Eurozone member leaves is not at all clear. In fact, the "stability" of Europe right now hinges completely on no one leaving (or defaulting).
After all, TARGET2 is a settlement system with offsetting cash creation and destruction carried out by the national central banks on delegation from the ECB. But nonetheless, it is understandable that the sound-money guardians at the Bundesbank are increasingly alarmed at the progression of events.
To borrow from Dirty Harry, it leaves those tied to Europe's future pondering a seminal question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya?

Your reference to Hayak make me extremely suspicious of everything else you write. The Austrian school and it's clone the Chicago School are almost completely without merit. But don't take my word for it. Ask a Chilean who remembers Pinochet.
That was my reaction also. And IMO he lost all credibility by stating Hayak's work is a "masterpiece". J.
If one may ask, where do the numbers for the graph titled "Industrial Production YoY%" come from? I'd like to use a graph like that on another website, but Eurostat doesn't seem to provide a suitable measure.
Oh, and: it's Hayek, people, not "Hayak". At leat get that right. :)
"The Austrian school and it's clone the Chicago School are almost completely without merit."
Baseless. Citations? If you're going to post on an anti-fiat website, you should provide some.
"Ask a Chilean who remembers Pinochet."
Pinochet was a violent dictator. The murders and other atrocities commited under his rule have nothing to do with Friedman's economic ideas. In fact, Chile's economic woes were mostly due to the decision to tie their hyperinflating currency to another fiat currency, the dollar. It should be noted that this decision ran counter to the ideas of Friedman. You also conviently overlook the fact that the Chilean economy out-performed the rest of SA in that era, and continues to.
What do you do when you're not stumping for Keynesianism?
To be fair, it is historical fact that the Chicago School of Economics was heavily involved in Pinochet's coup and the shaping of Chile's economics under his dictatorship. Oh yeh, don't forget the CIA's role. That episode in American history should not be forgotten or foregiven.
Many people have often wondered what it would be like to create a nation based solely on their political and economic beliefs. Imagine: no opposition, no political rivals, no compromise of morals. Only a "benevolent dictator," if you will, setting up society according to your ideals.
The Chicago School of Economics got that chance for 16 years in Chile, under near-laboratory conditions. Between 1973 and 1989, a government team of economists trained at the University of Chicago dismantled or decentralized the Chilean state as far as was humanly possible. Their program included privatizing welfare and social programs, deregulating the market, liberalizing trade, rolling back trade unions, and rewriting its constitution and laws. And they did all this in the absence of the far-right's most hated institution: democracy.
The results were exactly what liberals predicted. Chile's economy became more unstable than any other in Latin America, alternately experiencing deep plunges and soaring growth. Once all this erratic behavior was averaged out, however, Chile's growth during this 16-year period was one of the slowest of any Latin American country. Worse, income inequality grew severe. The majority of workers actually earned less in 1989 than in 1973 (after adjusting for inflation), while the incomes of the rich skyrocketed. In the absence of market regulations, Chile also became one of the most polluted countries in Latin America. And Chile's lack of democracy was only possible by suppressing political opposition and labor unions under a reign of terror and widespread human rights abuses.
Conservatives have developed an apologist literature defending Chile as a huge success story. In 1982, Milton Friedman enthusiastically praised General Pinochet (the Chilean dictator) because he "has supported a fully free-market economy as a matter of principle. Chile is an economic miracle." (1) However, the statistics below show this to be untrue. Chile is a tragic failure of right-wing economics, and its people are still paying the price for it today
Hmmm, there seem to be some interesting parallels between Chile's economic problems under Pinochet and the US today.

The leading Infertility Hospital in the MENA region that truly believes in "making you a family".
Headed by Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav, world-renowned and pioneer in reproductive medicine.
- "It is now almost 25 years that Dr Pankaj and I have known each other, both as friends as well as working colleagues. We started out as colleagues in London in1988, both learning the art and science of IVF when it was still in its infancy, and when the opportunity came to set up a new IVF unit in faraway Dubai, we both jumped at the chance to see a new country and take on a new challenge. I have fond memories of our times together when we set up the Fertility Centre in 1991 and ran it together till 1997 when I returned to Malaysia.. As the face of the unit, I recall the skepticism, difficulties and challenges you had to endure and overcome as you strived to develop it into a world class unit. And as the number of babies born from our efforts built up, so did the reputation.
Fast forward another 15 years, and I see that you now have a fantastic setup, as good as any IVF centre worldwide. That no doubt sets a benchmark for other IVF clinics in region. And as we all know, it is the standard of the doctor, laboratory and staff that determines pregnancy rates for patients. By investing in the best equipment and training, hiring the best staff, and having so many years of experience in the field, I can see why you have maintained such high pregnancy rates continuously over so many years. I wish you continued success, which in turn means so many more babies for all the patients who come daily with so much hope and dreams in their eyes."Dr. Prashant Nadkarni – Consultant Fertility Specialist
- "When we met Dr. Pankaj 12 years ago, we were very touched by the kind of rapport he built up with us almost immediately. Then we realised that this is the kind of person he is, you meet him once and you feel like you have known him for years.
He always has a smile on his face which makes you feel at ease without ever having met him before. He is a gentle man who loves to make other people really enjoy themselves.As a professional, there are very few words that can be used for a man whose life is dedicated to helping people start a family. He is one of the best at what he does, and the results of all his hard work are clear to see. There are so many families around us today that exist because he was there to guide them and help them start.
About his wife and family they all are carrying the same quality of Dr. Pankaj especially. Dr.Nishi- she is a lovely woman just as joyous as the man himself. We enjoy so much of his company, we feel proud to have such a wonderful friend. Together they make a lovely family and we wish them the very best that life has to offer."V & P. B. (Dubai, UAE)
- "Miracles do happen"
I went to Conceive with no expectation and no knowledge. I walked in for an appointment with Dr. Pankaj and instantly he got me giggling and speaking my heart out to him with ease. He made me do a series of tests that deduced I was insulin resistant therefore the poor quality of eggs and therefore recurring miscarriages. Over the course of the year that I saw him and his team, they made me super comfortable and at the top and bottom end was the word Faith!
An unbelievable man, with an unbelievable conviction and dedication and immense love towards all his patients and their "conceived babies"...God bless and lots of success always.M.T. (Dubai, UAE)
- "Dr Pankaj, as well as being one of the top infertility specialists in the world, is a wonderful, altruistic human being. After going through a deeply demoralising experience at one the (so called) top IVF clinics in London, we had all but given up. We moved to Dubai for a career opportunity and to move on from the disappointment. In Dubai we heard about Dr Pankaj and made an appointment to see him.
He was so positive, professional and took time to discuss everything with us; we felt immediately we were in the right hands. He told us our odds but seemed confident that we could have our longed for baby. After the first appointment, everything happened so quickly (unlike the UK where there were always interminable waits)... I was pregnant though ICSI within 2 months!! The whole time Dr Pankaj and his team were fantastic and the whole experience was as relaxed as infertility treatment can possibly be. The atmosphere at the clinic was always so positive and the staff efficient and caring. And the clinic`s impressive results speak for themselves!!"GS
- "Dear Doctor, May God Blessings be with you always…. We are not able to express our feeling in words when we heard that we were going to become a father and mother after 7 years of our marriage life. We thank God for using Dr. Pankaj for shedding as a new light in our life by giving as Gods great gift "our lovely daughter Johanna" on 18 June 2011.
We have visited several hospitals in India & abroad, but when we visited Conceive we felt that we had come to the right place. The doctor and his team were very friendly and the Clinic was very clean. We would like to thank doctor and his team for giving as the right treatment and for care and treat given to us like for a family member.RAM & SR (Dubai)
- "I have known Dr. Pankaj for the last 20 years. During his time he pioneered and set up a dedicated Gynaecology and Fertility Hospital, aptly named "Conceive". This hospital is in the best location possible and is fully equipped to a very high standard. It is staffed with highly trained and dedicated professionals. It has won acclaim in the Emirates as well as other Gulf countries. The hospital also treats patients from many other countries.
I have been a consultant Gynaecologist/Obstetrician in the U.A.E. for over 34 years. I can vouch for the excellent results of the treatment meted out at Conceive by Dr. Pankaj and his team. I refer all my infertility cases to Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav. He is an excellent human being and one could not ask for a better colleague and a dearer friend."Dr. (Mrs.) K. Gill B.SC, M.B., F.R.C.O.G.

Irish Rugby
Seven uncapped players in Ireland squad
ESPN Staff
May 15, 2012

Ireland have named their squad for the clash with the Barbarians on May 29 at Kingsholm.
The squad does not include any Leinster players as they will be contesting the RaboDirect PRO12 final on May 27 against the Ospreys. With that in mind, Ireland boss Declan Kidney has named a squad featuring both youthful exuberance and experience.
There are seven uncapped players in the party with front-rows Mike Sherry, Ronan Loughney and Declan Fitzpatrick all included and in the backs Simon Zebo, Craig Gilroy, Nevin Spence and Paul Marshall all get the nod. They feature alongside the experience of players such as Donncha O'Callaghan and Ronan O'Gara.
Paul O'Connell is missing from the party as he bids to continue his rehabilitation from a knee injury. The Ireland management, however, are still confident that he may play some part in their three-Test series against the All Blacks in June.
Ireland boss Kidney, who will add an extra forward and back to the squad next week, was quick to emphasise the importance of the match with the Barbarians, with the international select naming a strong squad for their summer tour on Tuesday.
"The game against the Baa-Ba's is vital for us in our preparations for the tour as it gives some players the chance to gain match fitness if they have not played for a couple of weeks, allows us to further expose some players to the national set up and also gives us the opportunity to get some foundations in place for the test series," Kidney said. "We have a good majority of our selections decided on for the tour party at this point, but the Heineken final gives us possibly one last opportunity to watch players in what will be a massive occasion for Irish Rugby."
Forwards: Rory Best (Ulster), Tom Court (Ulster), Stephen Ferris (Ulster), Declan Fitzpatrick (Ulster), Chris Henry (Ulster), Ronan Loughney (Connacht), John Muldoon (Connacht), Donncha O'Callaghan (Munster), Peter O'Mahony (Munster), Donnacha Ryan (Munster), Mike Sherry (Munster), Dan Tuohy (Ulster), A.N.Other
Backs : Darren Cave (Ulster), Keith Earls (Munster), Craig Gilroy (Ulster), Paul Marshall (Ulster), Conor Murray (Munster), Ronan O'Gara (Munster), Nevin Spence (Ulster), Andrew Trimble (Ulster), Paddy Wallace (Ulster), Simon Zebo (Cork Constitution), A.N. Other

Svetlana needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 47 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
We need a logo to serve as an umbrella to our overall branding campaign. General feel: something clean, friendly, professional, trustworthy. Our branding message is to save money and save the environment. Both are good!
Keywords: technology, sustainability, system, nature, change the world, expert, community, family.
PekaSys, Inc.
PekaSys is a new company that seeks to revolutionize the way businesses operate by inspiring them to be more green/sustainable.
We provide businesses with the tools and resources that lower their environmental impact through sustainable technologies distribution, installation, training, financing consulting, and other services that make it easier for organizations to save money and grow business.
Our mission is to make sustainable business practice affordable and mainstream for all business owners. We need your help to design a great logo that will convey our message to the world. The more recognizable our logo is, the better they'll remember our message, and the more impact we'll have on the planet.
Target Audience
Business leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs in companies large and small, who want to transition to a sustainable business practice, but don't have the tools to make the first step. They are concerned about obstacles, extra expenses, the ROI, etc.
- Overall: A logo that includes an image/graphic (if possible an interpretation of a river, but we'll consider other ideas as well) and the name "PekaSys."(current logo available for reference, but please be creative…!)
- Symbol: Bold, innovative, creative, business. The symbol should be able to stand alone without the text once we have built brand recognition (initially, we will use the logo both with the symbol and text together).
- Color: Green and Blue. You can mix in other colors…but Green and Blue should be primary (shades are up to you).
- Logo should look good when reduced (For examples: http://www.opportunitygreen.com/contact.php)
- Accepted File Formats: vector and .psd with layers, plus a .jpeg version and any fonts needed
Avoid *cliché images* such
as leaves, graphics with arrows (which suggest recycling) that appear
on a thousand other green company identities - we'd like our logo to
stand out from the crowd.
