How many people can Planet Earth support?
Poverty comes from an unfair sharing of resources. Bono's naive idea to eliminate poverty to the benefit of mankind flies in the face of the fact that we live on a finite planet. Historically the world has been able to support around 1.5 to 2 billion people, The age of oil changed that 150 years ago and we now have nearly 4 times that. The resources to support 7-9 billion people will have to continue to impact on nature to the detriment and eventual extinction of both.

Mar 18 2013: Exponential population growth is one of the biggest problem faced. Humans are depleting resources 21 % faster than earth can recharge.

Environmental scientists usaually describe this in terms of number of planet earth need to support human activities. currently we need 1.21 (might be greater) earths to support present consumption of resources.
(Source: Renewable Energy Sources and Method by Anne Maczulak)Mar 15 2013: Bono's idea to eliminate poverty is not naive.
That's not the right way to think about it.
Poverty, as just one human ill, should have been eliminated a long time ago.
We knew decades ago that it was possible. We haven't done it.
It is because of the mismanagement of the earth's resources and that management must be taken away from those in control of them.
Ownership doesn't apply. One cannot own any part of the earth. That is a lie that needs to be illuminated and eliminated.
There are tremendous amounts of resources in Greenland, the Antarctic, the Russian Federation, South America, Africa, and perhaps the Arctic. It's management that is crucial and you are right calling it an unfair sharing of resources.
We must get rid of the reasons and causes for corruption: Money, for starters, politicians, bankers, countries, nationalism, police, laws and so on.
I will have to watch his video. If he talks about the cost to eliminate poverty, how it will be paid for and so on, then I would agree with you that he is naive and anyone else who thinks monetarily.
Things don't......."get done".......... because of money.

Why would we want to find out? We are experiencing first hand monumental population growth rates that will take us there. In fact, it is clear we are experiencing this problem now. It does seem to me that those of reasonable judgement should be concerned.
As we approach that population limit perhaps included in the weather report will be a "miserably index" as we discover what we already know. There are factors (such as drinkable water) that will come more and more into play as the sheer numbers of our fellow human beings makes it more and more difficult not just to be happy, and not just achieve our wants, but meet our basic human needs for survival.
David Attenborough's production, "How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth (FULL)," and thoughts on this topic reflect an intelligent perspective. He is one of several individuals that rank at the top of my admiration list as a naturalist. He would be an excellent person to provide a TED TALK on this subject.
Mar 21 2013: Thanks Dan F - that was my initial proposition - We need Attenborough to speak at TED because it appears to me that many scientists and speakers live in silos. None address all the imperatives of water resources, air quality, species extinction through habitat destruction (land and sea) and energy. His finding is that there is a limit to the numbers of people who can live on planet earth. However there is a knee-jerk reaction to exploring the impact of population. Even to discuss suggest a 'hidden agenda' and an intention to limit it by force (see Random Chance's comments) Nathan Cook's response is succinct. So let's push TED for a talk from Attenborough himself - it a deeply researched, penetrating and balanced - TED viewers deserve nothing less..

Mar 18 2013: First let me state my bias as a supporter of permaculture. The limitations of soil formation and regeneration have been largely dismissed by the green revolutionists of modern agriculture. Even the "progressives" rarely pay much attention to the fundamental importance of healthy soil. For a while, we have been able to use large and increasing amounts energy to produce an excess amount of food and so can feed/breed more humans, but this a diabolical deal. We are mining soil and will eventually face diminishing productivity. Soil is not an inert physical/chemical medium. As a living system, it is prone to threshold effects, meaning that we can live off the accumulated excess of millennia of soil formative processes and be lulled into a belief that we can do whatever is expedient to us. In many landscapes, we are already seeing the rapidly descending side of the soil depletion curve. On the other hand, it is evident from the permaculture movement and agroecology, that soil regenerative systems of production can be designed. This implies that the long term historical numbers of sustainable human population can be increased somewhat through design that is based on agricultural practices that are regenerative rather than parasitic. My guesstimate is somewhere around double to triple the long term human population levels, representing a real increase in agricultural production of at least 4 times historic averages... Remember that few people today would choose to be as malnourished as even the aristocracy of past centuries. One of the interesting side effects of a more permacultural approach to agriculture is that it is more labour intensive. For those who consider agricultural and food production work to be "menial", this will be seen as negative. Others of us will get on with the pleasure of leading good purposeful lives.

Mar 17 2013: We now have around 7 Billion people but by 2030 will be 9 billion ? I think lots of wars over food and water on the horizon let alone pollution.

7 billion is too many already and is the Elephant in the Room. Some poorer countries have 50 million millionaires and 170,000 million middle class (in Population of 1.5 Billion), yet pay NO tax, so do not help their poor. I'd like to see United Nations insist on tax to help their poor.
Too many kids born into poverty - how can you expect anything else if one family has 7 children or more. Then these kids .....just to eat are sold into slavery, prostitution, child soldiers etc. etc. It's wrong.
I know contraception is still a dirty word for some but a great solution. Medicines sans Frontiere I think it is (correct me if wrong)can give microchip type contraception lasts 2 years and when taken out pregnant immediately.

Mar 15 2013: "How many people can Planet Earth support?"
- +1
The only good answer to this question is, no one knows. Further, in all probability, no one will ever know. At one time it required a huge area of land to support a small tribe. If you do the math using those figures, we have already exceeded the planets calculated capacity. We have done so by using technology to harness resources that were previously unavailable. No one can possibly predict how efficiently we will be using the planet's resources in the future. There is certainly some limit, but with our technology advancing at an increasing pace, we have no way of predicting what that limit might be. If someone invents an extremely cheap method for capturing and delivering sustainable electric power, a great many problems will be solved very quickly. For example, cheap power could make hydroponic and other methods of growing food very competitive, requiring much less land.
Using this concept, that the Earth has limited resources, and there is a limit to human population, is a very weak argument to advocate conservation. There are many good reasons to promote conservation.Mar 20 2013: Even the quote unquote 'developed' (UK is still as such; very much, I feel) even more quote unquote civilized worldbursting at the seems: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21653564 Unless you believe US that we are all drunks and French that we all eat beef (UK is actually one of populations in world with largest percentage of vegetarians, but beef consumption still high). Yet, from a country full of crack addicts and cocaine snorters, is hardly damning! 阿弥陀佛
Avi Dey
Mar 19 2013: It's a tough question to answer right now at the moment. Much depend on success in transitioning to sustainable urban life styles. Curitiba Brazil provides a wonderful success model. But it's tought to do what they have done over 20 years and more while maintinaing a democracy platform.Mar 19 2013: Now, we can't answer this question that how many people the earth can support. Because we don't know how much is the bottom line for the earth support.Something is unpredictable in future. As my opinion, the number of people the earth support is a constant value, we don't know how much is in it.The only thing we can do that starting from oneself, to protect the earth.Mar 19 2013: The question should be how many people can the universe support? And the answer is Infinite. We need to invest some our resources in space travel and colonization. We have all our eggs in one basket (planet Earth ). Not good for the human race. It makes extinction more likely either by our hands or something beyond our control, Like a comet hitting us. There are alot of doomsday scenerios that I could state, but the bottom line is foresight, co-operation and just plain old common sense. There is a big universe out there. There is plenty of room for all. Start looking at the bigger picture and not just one little section.
- 0
Mar 19 2013: How wrong you are with infinite everything is finite and there will be shortage to space... The only thing is mankind expands quite fast on this planet imagine how fast it will go in the future... Other planets galaxies... Our universe is finite to space and energy... So we will have to cease expansion at some point :/ same rule goes for our planet space is finite there will be only a certain amount of people sustainable on this planet
Mar 20 2013: The meaning of what i wrote was that to survive possible extinction the human race needs to consider colonizing other planets in case this one gets destroyed by something beyond our control. The dinosaurs were arround a lot longer then we have been and one asteroid destroyed them. whether it is next year or fifty or five hundred years away, sooner or later we will face possible extinction and considering that I am not aware of any other humans in the universe other than us. Have not met E.T. Would you not think about putting some out there. We could seed the universe with the human race, It might take a few millon years but you gotta start somewhere.Mar 18 2013: If people start listening to experts and not thinking,
then those who post to this question may find themselves entertaining and thinking along the lines of:
"Well, who should "we" eliminate?"
Certainly not I. I'm white, or male, or still young, educated, have money, am physically healthy at present,
think more critically than the rest of the world, or even, I'm from Amerika.
It is certainly, in my mind, dangerous and foolish to allow oneself to be tricked into thinking this way.
If one does, and one really believes population is our number one problem, then please kill yourself.
How dare anyone of you -this collective you - entertain killing others.
The resources of the earth are finite. Many of them. Perhaps most of them but we don't know what the earth can decide to produce without our knowledge and without our continuing to fuck with her.
The problem is not overpopulation. It is the pollution of populations and the population of pollution that is near the top of the list.
Also, the mismanagement of resources for profit contribute heavily to scarcity, which is used to produce fear, loathing, a sense of impending doom, and the moral high road of thinking, "yes, someone has to make the tough decisions."
But the tough decision is to stop what we are doing and manage properly.
Economy isn't about money, unless one has been brainwashed into believing that.
Economy means saving, not wasting, being prudent and frugal and managing properly.
Do people still want to be corralled, intimidated, bullied and terrorized into next looking at their neighbor and thinking, "They are taking from me, they have to go!" whether that neighbor is across the street, next door or across an ocean or another continent?
People have to take a chance on what they believe in but most don't really trust what it is they say they believe in when push (from the war, terror mongering elite) comes to shove.
Together, living is possible for all, but with less prudence with love than we have shown.Mar 18 2013: put a hundred canoes and sail boats, on a lake, and no one will bother any one, room for all (depending on the lake size) all remains, in peace and quiet. . put one motorboat or sea do on and the silence retreat fast as the darkness does when you turn on a light
we have yet to build floating cityes on the oceans. . , humanity as always been inventive enough to meet the challenge. . . . a wee better distrubution and sharing. . all you hold back on, eventually, bits ya in the but.
some have got to the payforward stage. I figure life's jsut mine to pass on, pass it on, pass it on, share the wealth and U'll find yourself richer with every passing day..
I suspect, we are seeing an influx of souls upon the face of earth for celebration its big turn around, a grand IMPlosion, with youth taking over and our ALL, living in respect of youth, with no ifs, buts or excuses, for reasons don't matter and excuses don't count.. It only a matter of time. Presently timing is just PURRfect, for setting the wheels in motion, for having this year become the year of celebration. The year Obama starts listening to the kids instead of all those entrenched in laws celebrating the meaning of life. Man has prove he cannot be trusted with a gun in his hand, I would not wish count on a woman, nor on one who's all business. just a mum, like the yellow mums from tigertown . . home lies in your schooling. .me? I Trump the Gump with my Slumdog enducation. know, that as soon as humanity begins to take the birthrights of a baby into consideration, know our food needs be grown around our homes ,cause its the breath of air,, it a 24 for 7, instead of 3 meals a day, from far away and as such, totally foreign to oru own molecular structures. since each reflects eathrock bed from neath where it grew. , more work for our bodyes. life's about working at opetimum capacity on minimum effort for maximum benefit, all round. time we operate as nature does. continually clear way for youth. living conscientiously.Mar 17 2013: For us to be able to support 9B citizens we may need to redefine "property" and "borders". The 1.5-2B people and the 4x gain in population that you mention can also be attributed to disease control (including agricultural "blights"). The main question is can 9B people co-exist? Will strong nations plunder dwindling resources from sovereign nations? We rely so much on technology, that first runs on electricity (or engines), and also needs specific resources for production. Will we run out of resources to produce or assemble the very products we have come to rely on fully for convenience?Mar 16 2013: my estimate is 1500 billion

Mar 16 2013: Please watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN06tLRE4WE
Then ask yourself where the water will come from.
Mar 19 2013: Malcolm
I appreciate your asking this question and have seen the Attenborough documentary. I suggest that there is some flexibility in the carrying capacity due to the advantage conferred by human intelligence...particularly design when it is informed by ecological knowledge. This is relevant in that some of the pre-industrial natural Process limits can be stretched...but that is not saying that they can be denied or ignored. Please see my general post yesterday regarding soil and permaculture. Water processes are more open to technological mitigation than are depleted soils. So the flexibility that I am guessing at is a hopeful 3 times natural limits on human population, and then only if we can broadly adopt agroecology approaches to production, which will be a big challenge.Mar 15 2013: ok yes the world "previously" had1.5-2 billion people but its not like that's the limit no body knows what earths limit is and it was because of modern medicine not oil and the truth is we have plenty of recourses the problem is just getting them the food before it's to late if we divided all the food evenly throughout the world every one could have over 2000 calories per dayMar 15 2013: After viewing the second talk: "How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth (FULL)"
"Bono's naive idea to eliminate poverty to the benefit of mankind flies in the face of the fact that we live on a finite planet."
Bono is not naive. Bono has been working to eliminate poverty for years, and he is well aware of ALL of the factors influencing poverty and poor people.
"The resources to support 7-9 billion people will have to continue to impact on nature to the detriment and eventual extinction of both."
The possibility that humans will cause the extinction of the natural environment is so remote as to be unworthy of serious consideration.
There is the distinct possibility that the human species will damage the natural environment to such an extent that it will negatively affect the growth of the human population, possibly causing a reduction in the population or even our extinction. That is a possibility, but it is not inevitable. We can make choices that will reduce damage to the natural environment. IMO, the more important question is whether we actually will make the correct choices. There is another conversation that comes closer to addressing that question: "Is capitalism sustainable?"
Nothing was said in either of the videos that attempts to answer your original question, "How many people can Planet Earth support?" My original reply to that question still stands.
The eradication of poverty is not naive. The work has been effective and there is every reason to believe that the goal of zero poverty is feasible, even as the challenges become greater. As Bono said, the key is believing that it is possible. Today the primary causes of poverty have nothing to do with limited resources. The primary causes are politics and corruption. It is poverty that limits the resources available to the poor,
Mar 16 2013: I take it from your comment that "Nothing was said in either of the videos that attempts to answer your original question, "How many people can Planet Earth support?" that you have actually watched the video. The question is clearly intimated and, I believe answered... For 200 000 years homo sapiens +- 1.5 billion. This 150 year spike to 7 billion and climbing is.... unsustainable.
You comment "The possibility that humans will cause the extinction of the natural environment is so remote as to be unworthy of serious consideration." And then in your next paragraph you go on to consider and actually agree! You go on to add that "We can make choices that will reduce damage to the natural environment and ask the question, will we?" I ask the question "Why haven't we yet?"
What is very clear is that we humans see ourselves as separate from the 'natural world' and have forgotten that we are part of it. You say it is poverty that limits the resources available to the poor. The point is that we live on a finite world of finite resources. I agree they have been shared 'unfairly'. The solution proposed unwittingly in Bono's model is just as obscene, because its not just a simple 'take from the rich and give to the poor" . We take habitats and environments from the natural environment you referred to earlier and reshape or destroy them to suit our short-term wants. Grasslands, forrests, oceans ... all being plundered to support an insane injunction to "go forth and multiply". We are the most efficient predators the world has ever seen and we behave as though the world is 'ours' and we aren't really a part of it. Check out the famous foxes and rabbits simulation - there are any number you can Google and try.
Finally, let me agree - zero poverty IS feasible. 10 billion people is not.
Mar 18 2013: I agree.Mar 15 2013: Forgive me but I am not going to respond to any further comments or continue a discussion unless you tell me you have seen the video. Otherwise we are wasting each other's time.
It is on YouTube and you will need simply to search for "how many people can live on planet earth". It is a BBC Horizon program. Or you can use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN06tLRE4WE
It is a deeply researched and persuasive case.
I take this position because I am not here to argue for it - I want simply to ask that you see it for yourself before you make up your own mind. Or, as proposed in my original post, ask David Attenborough to speak at TED.Mar 15 2013: Actually the Earth's carrying capacity is pretty much fixed - for around 200 000 years until just 150 years ago when, having been stable at around 1.5 to 2 billion, it rocketed to where it is today... and it continues to grow. And we lose species at an unprecedented rate. Please watch the BBC video referred to in my first post.Mar 15 2013: Poverty comes from the inefficient sharing of resources, there's no intentional withholding. In any case, the Earth can, and will, support the 10 billion people at which the Earth's population is predicted to stabilize, per Hans Rosling.
Mar 15 2013: You need to see Attenborough's video. So does Rosling. That is why I've proposed TED invite Attenborough to speak. Or you watch it in the same way I watched Rosling. When he can answer the questions relating to water, pollution, energy and the destruction of the world ecology we can have a discussion.Mar 15 2013: A man that owns nothing in a city is a bum.
A man that owns nothing in a forest is a tribesman. Indian. Possibly very highly looked upon.
Our society has constructed the walls of our reality to be one where only farmers grow their food, and that the only wealth is that of possession of an arbitrary currency from which luxurious leisure can be purchased. The more you break down our system, the less it makes sense.. if we must use the same currency to purchase land, entertainment and food, why not buy land, grow food, and build entertainment? Can a man who owns an iPhone be considered happier or better off than a man who willingly has no phone and lives in his private country home?
I believe we are victims of our expectations, for if the poor man from the streets were to walk to a forest with an axe and a bow, set to build his life in the wild, he would no longer be poor. In summary, I am in fact "surprised" that poverty still exists.
Mar 18 2013: Are you proposing that if the poor in the city became like tribesman in the forest there wouldn't be poverty?
Because there isn't enough forest to sustain that many poor.

The driver of a moped was struck and killed in a three-vehicle accident in Huntington County around 6:04 a.m. Monday.
Linda K. Moore,62, Lagro, was driving a 2006 Jeep eastbound on U.S. 24 West approaching the intersection with County Road 750 West when a moped came from County Road 750 West into the path of the Jeep. The moped ran into the Jeep, spilling the moped driver onto the driving lane of U.S. 24 West. The Jeep immediately pulled over so Moore could check on the welfare of the person who had fallen from the moped.
She had just returned to her Jeep when a third vehicle, driven by David Rose,52, Fowlerville, MI, struck the left rear of the Jeep, then struck the moped and the driver on the pavement. The moped became entangled underneath the vehicle, causing it to catch on fire, and came to rest in the passing lane of US 24 West. The driver of the moped was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities haven't released the identity of the moped rider, pending identification and notification of family. The investigation continues.
Assisting agencies included Andrews Police Department, Andrews Fire and Rescue, Huntington EMS, Huntington County Coroner's Office and Huntington Emergency Management Agency.

The Best EDM-Trap Songs Out Right Now
November 19, 2013 via Pepsi
The Best EDM-Trap Songs Out Right Now
One of the most popular genres in the dance music scene right now is the ever growing and ever evolving sounds of EDM trap music. Combining both dance music with hip hop in a fusion of sound and energy that's been taking clubs and festivals alike by storm over the last year and a half. If you read the post on The Top EDM Blogs Right Now, you'll know that we (at Run The Trap), have been serving up trap music to the masses since the movement began, and have seen the sound evolve before our very eyes. Now with so many new producers dabbling in trap production, it can sometimes be hard to find the best tracks out there, so let us introduce you to The Best Trap Music Tracks Of The Month to keep you up to date with the cream of the crop.
1. DJ Snake ft. Lil Jon "Turn Down For What"
The only one featured twice in our list, DJ Snake is one of the top producers out there right now, and it seems like any beat he touches is pure gold. From production credits on Lady Gaga's last album, to eclipsing the scene with "Bird Machine", his single and our top song of the month "Turn Down For What" featuring Lil Jon asks listeners just that, "Turn down for what?" The answer: nothing ever. This track is forthcoming on Mad Decent so be sure to keep an eye out for the official release when it drops (soon).
2. Diplo, "Biggie Bounce" ft. Angger Dimas & Travis Porter
Mad Decent kingpin Diplo comes in with his upcoming single "Biggie Bounce" featuring Angger Dimas and Travis Porter. This is Diplo's third song with Travis Porter and possibly the best one yet. Travis Porter flows seamlessly over Diplo and Angger Dimas' bouncy beat. This track is featured on Diplo's Revolution EP. Stream it here!
3. Jack Beats, "Get Down" (ƱZ Remix)
"And then it happened." The trap enigma known as ƱZ gives us a trap classic with his remix of Jack Beats single "Get Down." Featuring some heavy 808's, chopped up samples, and a great use of hihats, ƱZ absolutely kills this remix. This song is available via Skrillex's label OWSLA on the Jack Beats Remixed vol. II EP.
4. Kill The Noise, "Jump Ya Body" (LOUDPVCK Remix)
LOUDPVCK had a big month, check out their "Michael Jordan" remix, as well as this big remix of Kill The Noise's "Jump Ya Body." Coming off of one of the best remix albums of the year, LOUDPVCK takes this track and gives it a big bouncy trap remix. Kill The Noise, "Jump Ya Body" (LOUDPVCK Remix) is out now on OWSLA so grab your copy today.
5. Yellow Claw x DJ Snake x Spanker, "Slow Down"
Heavy hitters Yellow Claw and DJ Snake and Spanker team up to give us "Slow Down," a massive trap/moombahton single. This top notch team flows effortlessly through genres throughout the song. You'll be moving from the beginning to the end following some great synth work and everyone's favorite instrument, a cowbell. You can grab this one for free now on DJ Snake's Soundcloud.
6. Alex Metric & Jacques Lu Cont, ft. Malin "Safe With You" (Keys 'N Krates Remix)
Keys 'N Krates are on fire this year with the release of Treat Me Right on Dim Mak Records and again with this Alex Metric and Jacque Lu Cont Remix. Alex Metric & Jacque Lu Cont, "Safe With You" (Keys 'N Krates Remix) was the top charting song on hype machine shortly after it came out and for good reason. The trio uses the vocals of the track perfectly with the melodic nature of the song.
7. Feed Me, "Rat Trap"
After taking some time off of djing, the first new music we heard from Feed Me is the trap influenced single "Rat Trap." Off of his upcoming album Calamari Tuesday, Rat Trap features the same high level production we've come to expect from Feed Me. Calamari Tuesday is out on Feed Me's new label Sotto Voce.
8. Cosmo's Midnight, "The Dofflin" (Wave Racer Remix)
We want to start off by saying that this track isn't strictly a trap music track. That being said it does contain some trap elements and we thought Wave Racer's remix of "The Dofflin" by Cosmo's Midnight was good enough that it should be included in this list. Signed to Future Classic, Wave Racer's chill style of music puts off great vibes for everyone to enjoy and this remix is a great example of that. You can grab Cosmo's Midnight, "The Dofflin" (Wave Racer Remix) for free now on Wave Racer's Soundcloud.
9. Chase and Status ft Pusha T - Machine Gun

Machine Gun will be out along with their new album Brand New Machine on October 7th.
Cafe' Con Leche' a.k.a. DJ Craze and Klever a.k.a. Coffee and Milk end off our list with their released single "Milk and Cookies." Boasting two former DMC world champions, Cafe' Con Leche' pushes the needle forward with each one of their releases. Milk and Cookies contains trap, future, and club elements and is certain to go off at any set. So grab some milk, grab some cookies, turn up your speakers and keep an eye on Cafe Con Leche.

Hey guys, I've been playing 20 years. I've got some pretty nice guitars in my collection (mid level stuff ...Shecter, ESP, Ibanez) and my favorite higher end of all is a Gibson Les Paul Classic. However for gigging I have an ESP LTD EC-1000FR Deluxe that I just love. The LTD is ESP's "made in Korea" line ...like the PRS SE series guitars.
So last week I'm at Guitar Center helping a friend pick out a guitar and the salesman puts some kind of $3,000 PRS in my hands. I'm not in the market for it and $3,000 is way more than I'm looking to spend on a guitar so I didn't pay close attention. But it really felt awesome ...playability was so freakin' great that I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
So now I'm looking at adding a PRS. I should probably just wait until next year, but I'm like an addict and just really badly want to add a PRS to my collection now. (In like a year or two God willing I will be able to add a really high end PRS but not just yet.) Since I can't afford a brand new USA made PRS, I'm looking at picking up something used but in great condition. I've found some guitars and before I plunk down I figured I'd throw this out to you PRS fans and see what you say.
Here's what I'm looking at:
PRS STANDARD 24 STRAWB W/OHSC for $1200
PRS CE24 TRANS RED for $1200
PRS CE24 SCARLET RED WC for $1100
PRS SE TORERO CRIMSON RED for $640
The SE TORERO is probably going to be the closest thing to my ESP - they both have EMGs and a Floyd Rose. Would the CE or Standard models really be THAT much better than the SE TORERO? Like what are some differences that would make you definitely spend the extra money for the CE or Standard?

It was the most-quoted line of 2012; within minutes, it seemed, it had made its way around the world; and within days it was on a tee-shirt being handed out to everyone in the Lotus factory in the UK.
"Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing," said Kimi Raïkkönen from the cockpit at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit in the 18th race of the season. He was on his way to the first victory of his comeback year, but it was the 19th of his Formula 1 career so clearly he didn't need the engineers jabbering in his ear while he went about his business.
In 2013 a revitalised Raïkkönen, now 33, was a revelation: including that famous victory he was on the podium seven times and was spoken of – not only at Lotus – as a title contender.
A slightly less stellar second half of the season, Abu Dhabi apart, meant he ended up a relatively distant third behind Vettel and Alonso, but he joined them as one of only three drivers to score over 200 points.
There were moments when the 'old' Kimi seemed to raise his head, most notably at Monaco where he spat the dummy over a new steering set-up he had specifically requested, but perhaps that was reassuring in its own way: it wouldn't really have been Kimi otherwise, would it?
There were some F1 insiders who felt this was NOT the Kimi of old in the sense that the blinding speed which was his trademark had given way to solid, season-long consistency.
There were 'only' two fastest laps on his 2012 record, after all, and no pole positions.
But the real challenge now is to build on that excellent beginning and to drive Lotus into the inner circle of F1's genuine title contenders. Kimi might just be the man to do that… if they leave him alone.

Nico Hulkenberg admits Force India have lost out in the development war, which is why they now trail Williams.
Although Force India were ahead in the battle for fourth place in the Championship for much of the first half of this season, Williams surged ahead through a spate of podium results.
Arriving in Belgium this weekend, Force India trail Williams by 37 points and are only one ahead of McLaren.
As for Hulkenberg personally, he is seventh in the Drivers' standings ahead of World Champions ahead of former World Champ Jenson Button.
Asked whether he got any satisfaction from being ahead of Button as well as Kimi Raikkonen, he told the official F1 website: "Ha, to be honest: sometimes it has to be enough!
"You have to look at what options we have - how fast our car is - and being realistic, we have fallen a little behind since the beginning of the season. Some teams have overtaken us - like Williams.
"We have been in front of them - or at least as quick as them - at the beginning, but now we have slipped back because we haven't developed enough I would say.
"It is what it is now and therefore we have to be happy with what we can achieve - and try to maximize everything."
Pressed to whether Force India could hold off McLaren in the Constructors' race given a lack of updates for this weekend's Belgian GP, he said: "It is what it is. Sometimes updates take time: you can't change things overnight.
"It's always a long process if you want to make a bigger overhaul: find something, build it, and then implement it in the car. Hopefully it will be early enough to achieve our goals."

I shoot 85gr TSX, also awesome! the .243win I believe tends to have higher BC's than the .25-06, but the .270win probably beats both I'm not certain.
I was gonna say get a .243win, but a 25-06 and even the 270 are all great options.
could always get a 6.5-284 Norma w/142gr bullet, possibly from Savage if you want high BC's and wind bucking!
It was funny, last time at the range in WY before antelope opened, 3 of us were there, all getting ready for antelope, all shooting .243win!

Age is just a number when it comes to Jane Fonda. The 75-year-old fitness guru, actress, and philanthropist has been looking better than ever at the Cannes Film Festival this year, rocking every gown on the red carpet and schooling the much younger leading ladies on how to really work it.
On Saturday, she dazzled in a custom turquoise Atelier Versace ensemble with Swarovski crystal detailing and cut-outs — yes, a 75-year-old woman actually pulled off the cut-out trend better than most 20-somethings! — at the "Jimmy P" premiere. Furthering our awe, she showed up to the premiere of "Inside Llewyn Davis" on Sunday glowing in a jaw-dropping raspberry Badgley Mischka dress.
Check out the video to find out how she always manages to look so good and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for more of the latest in entertainment news.

Perfect for Your Little Ones
Melanie Turner is one of those people that can brighten up any room she walks into. She is the Early Childhood Interpreter here at the Orlando Science Center who adores her job and the kids she gets to work with. I have the privilege to get to know her a little better and learn about her experiences here at the Science Center.
Melanie started babysitting at the age of 11 where she found a natural love for working with kids. In her college years she volunteered at a preschool where she was able to get her hands on more of an educational aspect. During this time one of her friends told her about a summer camp with the Boy Scouts of America where parents are able to learn and do activities with their family while their young ones are being watched. She jumped on this opportunity and became the Small Fry Director (Preschool Director) at the camp for three years.
Melanie has been with the Orlando Science Center for almost two years now. She loves all of the hands on opportunities she gets to share with the kids. On of her favorite experiences here was Pirates Week. There are many workshops and events like Pirates Week that kids can take part of!

This fast-paced and exciting new form of comedy is a combination of MTV's "Wild 'N Out" and "Who's Line is it Anyway?" – but there is a bit of a twist. Just like in the old TV series "Mission Impossible," the Chicagoan actors in Mission IMPROVable pretend to be agents. The audience members are the co-agents and participate in the hilarious theater games or "missions" by yelling out suggestions. The on-the-spot randomness provided by the audience makes each mission truly unique and very often hysterical.

This Movie Info
2 Days in New York
Release Date :August 10, 2012 Limited
Studio :Magnolia Pictures
Director :Julie Delpy
Starring :Julie Delpy, Chris Rock, Vincent Gallo, Brady Smith
Marion and Mingus live cozily-perhaps too cozily-with their cat and two young children from previous relationships. However, when Marion's jolly father (played by director Delpy's real-life dad), her oversexed sister, and her sisterâs outrageous boyfriend unceremoniously descend upon them for a visit, it initiates two unforgettable days that will test Marion and Mingus's relationship. With their unwitting racism and sexual frankness, the French triumvirate hilariously has no boundaries or filters...and no person is left unscathed in its wake.

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Great Scott
Stephen Hayes has an in-depth piece in the the Weekly Standard on Gov. Walker and the stakes in Wisconsin.
Throughout the 2012 election cycle Republicans have pined for a bold, conservative reformer—a leader courageous enough to make difficult choices and articulate enough to explain them to a skeptical public. The good news is they have such a candidate. The less good news: Scott Walker isn't running for president. He's running to hang on to his job as governor of Wisconsin.
Walker is the target of a recall effort funded by national labor unions. Why? Reforms he made to balance the budget have dramatically diminished the influence of public employee unions. If not reversed, these reforms will inspire similar efforts across the country, and the outsized power of public sector unions will finally be reined in.
The election in Wisconsin—which will happen in late spring or summer—could have a profound impact on the 2012 presidential race, with the winning side emerging from the battle organized and energized in one of the most important swing states this November....
In light of the success of Walker's reforms, complaining about what he said in 2010 seems unlikely to win many votes. So Walker's opponents want to change the subject. Last week, Mike Tate, chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic party, toured the state in an attempt to link Walker more closely to an investigation of some of his former employees. Here again, Democrats have resorted to distorting reality in order to smear Walker.
There are two separate issues. In the first, a woman who worked for Walker when he was Milwaukee County executive was found posting political comments on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's website during working hours. She resigned in May 2010.
The second involves two former Walker employees who allegedly stole money from a veterans' organization that worked with the county on an event held at the Milwaukee County Zoo. John Chisholm, Milwaukee's district attorney, has been investigating the claims for 20 months. There is no indication Walker knew about the employees' activities, much less condoned them. Chisholm has said that Walker is not a target of the investigation—which only exists because Walker requested it when he was presented with the facts.
Some Wisconsin Republicans, pointing out that Chisholm is a Democrat and highlighting the steady stream of leaks coming from his office, are growing concerned that the investigation is a political witch hunt, designed to bloody the governor before voters cast their ballots. Walker, for his part, says that he believes Chisholm is an "earnest" prosecutor who will conduct a fair investigation. That's probably overly generous.
The coming battle for Wisconsin will be a difficult fight for Republicans. Democrats have shown that they are willing to do just about anything to win. Unions are fighting this battle as if their very existence depends on a victory—and it might.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
You have to wonder if someone threw an accidental stray disc, or just blasted away with no regard?
Views: 1697
By chance,would that be Bayshore Park? Played that one back in '76-79 when we lived in Va.Bch,Va.I understand that is has changed a bit."Steady" Ed might of been involved designing it,that's what I was told back in the day.
Man you scared me...im a vegas local and i thought this was just recent! This was last year in october. It looks really ugly and nasty none the less and there was signage in the park all over but there could have been more, as well as more respect by others walking around. People generally do not understand and tend not to really care for the most part. They just look and or ignore. Still...People should be very away that hey hard plastic does hurt from being thrown from so far. Then again the golfer itself could have been at fault as they may or may not have said FORE loud enough or show a recognizable body motion of "Heads Up" What I mean by this is Waving your arms in the air 3 time to get attention with the disc in your hand and stuff you know. Anyway...nasty shit i heard about others taking discs to the leg, like this old lady who got really mad and tried to abolish the mountain crest course. The player was at fault there as he dipped off. All she wanted was an appolgy.
Oddly enough it was posted to facebook today that Will Schusterick took a Force to the face for 5 stitches....
I played there today and honestly, some people are just oblivious. on hole 21(back parking lot) there's a family camped out on the rock with their stuff sitting ON the basket.. after yelling "fore" several times, one of our group had to walk to the pin and remove their things and warn them that it's simply not safe to be there when people are playing. they replied asking what we meant. the basket wasn't the clue. so we showed them a driver and explained what was about to happen. to which they replied "can't hurt too bad."
I am by no means placing blame on the person hit in the reported case, but some people on both sides of the disc are just plain stupid. others are just inconsiderate.
Oddly enough we have old people who think that the middle of the course is the perfect place for a stroll. Not too smart. We do our part to not try and hit people with discs but they want to make themselves a moving target (a slowly moving target at that). Hey I heard there is a ball golf course somewhere where you can take a stroll. Or maybe you might like to go play in the freeway...
In other, more recent news, check out Will Schusterick after a driver to the forehead. (https://twitter.com/#!/PDGA/status/193716129909313536/photo/1)
Five stitches later and he's alright. He talks briefly about the incident here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKyj5hWBKGU&feature=plcp&con...
"Ever wondered what would happen if you got hit in the face with a driver from 20' away? Ask Will Schusterick. He ... http://pic.twitter.com/phEdj1RE"
There are signs all over that course. That doesn't mean pedestrians can read. At GCC there were signs posted at EVERY entrance and parking lot and people just didn't care.
On another note, here's a disc golf related injury. Related because we were building a course.
I feel the pain of these people. I have taken a drive to the face at about 20 ft. It made me stop playing for about 2 years(Thankfully my wife got me a basket for Christmas and that got me back in the game =)). I have a permanent scar on the side of my lip. It happened on a course with a winding path that came back by a launch pad. Luckily I took the hit and not my or my friend's kids. Needless to say I always observe the playing field before driving and I am an advocate of disc golf safety. I have a 9 hole course in walking distance from my house. Most people don't know what a disc golf is and walk right into the fairways, play sports in the fairways or walk their dogs there.
I think signs using pictograms(like a disc hitting someone in the head), signs discussing safety,netting or barriers around winding paths that come near a launch pad, and disc golfers spreading the word to fellow discgolfers about this safety issue may help matters.

Mind-Body Medicine
Pathways with Heart: Reflections on Professional Identity and Mind Body Medicine: June 27 Videoconference with Dr. John Patterson06/06/2013
School of Mind-Body Medicine faculty member John Patterson will speak on Mindfulness on June 27 (5:30 PM Pacific) in Videoconference.
"Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you." The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Casteneda
Faculty and students in Saybrook's School of Mind Body Medicine are participating in a transformational process that is expanding the biomedical model that has dominated health care, medicine and mental health for the last century. There have been many trail blazers of mind body medicine's philosophy, knowledge and procedures, many of whom have been associated with Saybrook from its inception. As we follow these professional paths with gratitude, we will modify, refine and extend them. We will develop pedagogical, research and clinical approaches that draw from these historic roots and speak to today's needs and challenges.
Saybrook University Mind-Body Medicine Doctoral Student, Patricia McKeen, Operates Albuquerque New Awakenings Counseling Clinic05/29/2013
Prior to starting her studies at Saybrook, School of Mind Body Medicine, Patricia had been searching for a program that would expand her knowledge of mind-body medicine and help her to continue to integrate what she was already championing at the New Awakenings Counseling Clinic. Patricia owns and operates New Awakenings located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The clinic serves approximately 700 people per month and of that figure 98% are mandated by the court system to be in treatment. Patricia finds that while initially the clients do not want to be in treatment, or at New Awakenings, something shifts after about 90 days and then clients want to stay. In fact, according to client satisfaction surveys 80-90% of respondents express that they want to continue to engage in services offered at New Awakenings, and of the 80-90% that want to stay, about 60% remain past their mandated treatment date, a testament to the influence of a client-centered practice that works with many different dimension of person.
Recent Mind-Body Medicine School Graduate LaVera Forbes Advances Awareness of Food Addiction and Weight Bias05/29/2013

One of the ways she has accomplished this is presenting the research she conducted at Saybrook on the topic of obesity and food addiction at professional conferences. Her proposals have been accepted for the following conferences, and she awaits decisions for several others: The National Wellness Conference, the International Conference and Exhibition on Obesity and Weight Management, and the Health, Wellness, and Society Conference.
Learning Opportunities: MBM Founding Dean, James S. Gordon, to Speak on Meditation May 2905/21/2013

Chair of Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine School Publishes Book on Pathways to Illness, Pathways to Health05/19/2013
Dr. Donald Moss is chair of the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine. Moss and a co-author Angele McGrady recently published a book on the lifestyle factors that contribute to illness and the approaches that human beings can take to restore their health. The book, Pathways to Illness, Pathways to Health, was published by Springer in March 2013. The message of this new book is summarized here.
The face of illness has changed, and human beings are eager for new approaches to pursue health and wellness. Increasing numbers of people seek out advice for health problems at the health food store, or visit Reiki energy healers, massage therapists, naturopaths, and other alternative medicine practitioners, instead of conventional medical care.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Meets American Distance Education05/14/2013
The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco is teaming up with Saybrook University's distance learning model for Mind-Body Medicine.
This week Saybrook University's graduate School of Mind-Body Medicine signed an agreement with the San Francisco based American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) to explore ways they can bring the best of 21st century western integrative health techniques to those studying traditional Chinese medicine – and bring the long-held wisdom of Chinese medicine to mainstream health practitioners.
The partnership will begin with a faculty member from ACTCM developing and teaching a course at Saybrook on "Whole Medical Systems" that includes the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and will grow to include opportunities for students at each institution to take each other's courses. Both institutions anticipate whole new degree offerings coming out of this partnership.

In the second edition of PeopleWare, DeMarco and Lister suggest that annual performance and salary reviews foster teamicide because they encourage competition within the team. Spolsky re-iterates this idea in his "Incentive Pay Considered Harmful" essay.
Is this really the case? And if we don't have salary reviews, how should pay rises be done?

I've been reading weblogs for quite some time.I've seen so many tech guys getting frustrated by the response of the readers they get on their weblogs.Most of programmers with tech blogs posts howtos and other article stuff,which is very good thing for building internet.They are constantly being hit by Leechers.So you'll ask me what are leechers?
leechers are guys/gals out there hunting for the answers for their questions.They'll ask tech guys for the answers these ways:
1. "Hey send me the fibbonaci sequence program".
2. "Hey send me any good book on linux on my email address"
3." Send me link to download for the warez"
Some people try and act like begging:
1."Hey please help me send me the answer to these programming problems in C"
2."Hey please help i m in trouble i need xxx/yyy software ?"
3."Hey i'm student and i can't do the programs in C please help me out do this homework".
Sometimes they sound like ordering or rude while making commetns.
1" Hey,send me link to warez software site?
2. "Hey send me some library automation program in java,fast,NOW".
Sometimes they do invest time in you,make friendship just to get their purpose out of it.It's really hard nowadays to differentiate between leeches and good guys.Asking for some tutorial and howto can be good idea usually to ask for help but asking for readymade programs that does the homework is lame.Sometimes they don't even appreciate you if they get help from you.If they are not maintaing any sort of readership with you then whats the point in having the readers or visitors to your site.
My observation on weblogs for filtering leeches:
There are some tech guys like kirupa chimathambi from kirupa.com who sorted out this problem by placing moderator on his site for filtering out such leech.Paul stamatiou from pstam.com filters out such comments instantly.On the other hand our member "Mahesh2k" unable to filter out leech comments on his site onecore.net His site is being attacked evryday with leech request of more than 120+ leech comments.One of my friend who works for d2design derivative have same problems as some customers call for the design ideas and waste valuable buisness time.Trap17 free hosting site kicked out many users from their forum for such leech behaviour.
Everyone have their own life & need to maintain balance but asking for custom content or program that gets the time of programmers.Which is more valuable than any such leechers lifetime.Asking for help when you get stuck is good thing but leeching & not appreciating for help is really bad thing.There are ways to ask for help and get your answers but if you're only interested in your job getting done.You get many people arround you,asking for free-advice or content from when you start asking for the charge they all disappears.
How you'll handle such leeches in real life or on your tech blog?

The one-day strategic thinking course our Board participated in has helped them come together as a team. They are now using their individual experiences and new-found capabilities to support the value they add to our organisation.Jessica Pridman
The pace was intense but very well-focused on the key points and practical application. Very good real world examples…Robert Crossley
After our in-house course, my board and leadership team are spending much more of their time on the important task of thinking about and directing strategy rather than the day-to-day administration. Highly recommended for any management team!Robert Kingsway
Our CFAs have really benefitted from the industry and company analysis training provided by Ironclad Strategy. They now really understand the businesses and markets they're looking at, and can make much more informed recommendations…Philip Price
This course [Planning, Implementing and Managing an Effective Strategy] is the best I have ever attended. In terms of value for money, I think it is unsurpassed!Roger Trench
I'm really satisfied with your course, the trainer was very well qualified, [and] could convey the principles of strategic management to me in a very short period of time…Oliver Craig
An intensive course which provided us with a robust framework to use in our forthcoming strategic review. Our management team gained a shared understanding of the methodology which will be very useful in the practical application we are about to undertake.Shared Interest
The course provided a useful reminder of key strategy theory for attendees and involved several practical exercises and case studies to help bring this to life.Interbev Group
I found the course earlier this week very useful, in particular in putting prior training and experiences within a more robust framework.Robert Burgess
