Thresholds for conservation and management: structured decision making as a conceptual framework
Edited by: Glenn R. Guntenspergen
- More information: Publisher Index Page
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
A conceptual framework is provided for considering the threshold concept in natural resource management and conservation. We define three kinds of thresholds relevant to management and conservation. Ecological thresholds are values of system state variables at which small changes bring about substantial or specified changes in system dynamics. They are frequently incorporated into ecological models used to project system responses to management actions. Utility thresholds are components of management objectives and are values of state or performance variables at which small changes yield substantial changes in the value of the management outcome. Decision thresholds are values of system state variables at which small changes prompt changes in management actions in order to reach specified management objectives. Decision thresholds are derived from the other components of the decision process.We advocate a structured decision making (SDM) approach within which the following components are identified: objectives (possibly including utility thresholds), potential actions, models (possibly including ecological thresholds), monitoring program, and a solution algorithm (which produces decision thresholds). Adaptive resource management (ARM) is described as a special case of SDM developed for recurrent decision problems that are characterized by uncertainty. We believe that SDM, in general, and ARM, in particular, provide good approaches to conservation and management. Use of SDM and ARM also clarifies the distinct roles of ecological thresholds, utility thresholds, and decision thresholds in informed decision processes.

Dilemmas of Modern Life
From the environmental point of view, the answer is clear. Replace the hinges and, if necessary, paint over the inside.
From the common-sense real-estate point of view, though, another answer is clear. Get need new cabinets, and since the dishwasher also doesn't work and the oven is old and crappy, might as well "update" the whole kitchen. It's an "investment," right?
I hate carrying a backpack. It's a pain, and it looks ridiculous with a nice outfit. But I do it anyway because I want to carry my laptop and no other system seems workable for this. I'm constantly trying to keep down the number and weight of the things I have to carry, so I can carry a slightly smaller, slightly more stylish backpack instead of a bigger, bulkier one. I'm already carrying a water bottle, and carrying a reusable coffee cup will put me over the brink. What to do?
From the environmental point of view, the answer is clear. Carry a bigger backpack.
From the fashion and life comfort point of view, though, another answer is clear. Forget it. Why should I have to walk around like a pack mule, walking through the desert, carrying all my daily needs on my back? I'm living in a city, for heaven's sake. In civilized places, when you stop to get coffee they put it in a ceramic cup while you sit and drink it. Then they wash and reuse it. Is it my fault that places in North America can't get this sorted out?
I could go on and on, and we haven't even considered the conflicts between femininity, practicality, equality, and health. But it would get boring. I'm already bored, thinking about it.
There are things about consumer culture that I love. But these things reflect its f***ed up nature. There are vast forces committed to getting you to do what, all things considered, you think is probably for the best, and forces that arise from nowhere, making your sensible choices seem stupid.
And then you pick up a newspaper or magazine, and in section A you read a story that says how the new style of kitchen is retro, or the new thing in shoes is the super high heel, or the new "it" bag is the Prada Glace Calf Degradé Top Handle (see above!) for only $2050, money that if you had it you could never justify spending it on a handbag anyway, and then in section Q you read how kitchen renovations are the biggest contributor to landfills or high heels will ruin your body forever.
I mean, can't they get their story straight? Is it too much to ask?

What will the role of theater be in the age of Donald Trump? Following the election earlier this month, free hugs were offered, potlucks were held and doors were opened at Chicago theaters. A few companies gave out free tickets to weekend performances. And all the shows have continued to go on.
The Tribune asked a number of theater artistic directors what the responsibilities of creative communities will be in a nation that will soon be headed by a man who created a Twitter storm demanding an apology from the performers in the Broadway production of "Hamilton" after a curtain speech directed to Vice President-elect Mike Pence. All interviews have been edited and condensed.
Will Davis, American Theater Company: "It's a hard moment because there's a majority of people who are articulating their total disbelief in other's ideology. I don't know what kind of actual true bridge we can provide. Artists also tend to be a pretty self-selecting group. But we don't all come from families of artists and left-wing folks. So it does feel important to open an empathetic channel to understand the thing that's lying beneath the vitriol, which is straight up terror for everybody. As a trans person, I feel like I'm in a great position to help us think about that. My body and my identity is often submerged into super hot water. I'm used to a hot temperature. And I'm saying that as a white person. I do believe that empathy is what we've got, in many ways. I actually think the call to action for all of us, regardless of where we're living on the spectrum of this election, is very clear. It doesn't feel like there's any ambiguity. I want to be able to get married and raise a family and I want the same for my community. I don't want trans folks dying in the street. I don't want people of color feeling unsafe in public spaces. These are all things I do not want. So in a way it makes it clear and easy for me to take action because I can identify it."
Anna D. Shapiro, Steppenwolf Theatre Company: "The way that we've been programming and the way that we've looked at this year and the way we were articulating our programming had to do with trying to find work that helps us understand what we share. But I actually think (after the election), we'll turn that prism one more time and say the work that we're looking at is a little bit more about what we don't share. And how all of us are under the same sky. We can't keep making work that just confirms that the way we're living is right or enough. Not if we're going to claim to be in a union. I'm not sure that institutions know how to affect people beyond their immediate reach. Frankly, stories have helped me in the last week. Bad ones and good ones. Does it change me? Sometimes, yeah, I guess sometimes it does. I'm changed now. A story just got told. And I'm different than I was (before the election). But as institutions, we're so polarized. We serve certain groups of people. We might have to go out instead of just expecting ... I'm not sure if you build it they will come."
Chay Yew, Victory Gardens Theater: "I think what has happened in our country is a sense of people who have felt powerless, rightly or wrongly. So the question is: Does theater do the thing that it does best? Do we become the meeting spot? The church? The town square? Do we come together to say this is where we have come from and where do we go tomorrow? I'm concerned that theater belongs to people of a certain class, that it belongs to people who have more liberal viewpoints. The question also becomes: Are we opening our doors to different viewpoints? We may not all agree, but it's a good place to come together. That's the role of what theater should be. Even in terms of race, most of our theaters are on the North Side. If there's anything I would love for all theaters to do, it would be to ask how we can keep opening the doors and inviting different points of view. The problem of theater is always the problem of accessibility."
Coya Paz, Free Street Theater: "It is fully in my belief that we can use theater to support social change efforts. It is so easy to feel lonely, discouraged. And that can be changed. As long as we can remind ourselves that we are valuable and loved by someone, it maybe makes it more likely that we can continue to be in the struggle. The struggle itself is not in the theater. But the theater can be an anchor. We're kicking off Performance for Action and Intervention Training, which will be a repeating series that helps people think about making performance to support direct action efforts. It's not making plays about a politics but it's making performance to engage with protests, to draw attention to particular venues, things people can do out in the world to support direct action."
Gus Menary, Jackalope Theatre Company: "I remember back in college overhearing a college classmate that said, 'I just wanna make theater that changes the world.' A much more cynical friend of mine said, 'The only way theater's gonna change the world is if the power goes out.' I don't know what our role is in this garbage fire of a four years. Except to make sure that the stories that we're telling are representative of the whole of America. I think art is so often a reaction. I'm super hopeful. There's a part of me that, as much as I don't look forward to much, I think the art I do. Because it will be so incredibly vital and it will be so incredibly raw.
Robert Falls, Goodman Theatre: There's a phrase from a Chicago journalist in the 19th century, (Finley Peter) Dunne, who once wrote that the role of journalism is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I've always felt struck by that phrase. That is the purpose of the theater. It has to challenge. And it has to comfort. I think now more than ever it needs to do both of those things. I think we're all recovering. The ground has shifted. I believe it's seismic. I believe that artists will and must respond to events that have happened and will continue to happen. I think that theater can have an activist role, if one says that being an activist is to sort of alert and converse, that there are moments that require anger, reflection, moments that need to allow laughter. If theater doesn't engage in some way, it should just die off and go away. I think being awake and alive in the theater is practice for being awake and alive in the world. It's an essential part of our democracy, to experience art."
Samuel Roberson, Congo Square Theater: "With Trump getting elected, I think it has made a lot of people who were comfortable, get uncomfortable. It has lifted the rose-colored shades. A lot of people are half woke. When it doesn't pertain to them, they throw their shades on. They're activists from afar and by mouth but not really in the time of need or willing to step up in a real way. I'm hopeful this will cause a lot more people to step up and meet the challenge with their whole selves as opposed to out of guilt or an obligatory place. I think that it's really going to be telling about where we stand as a theater community in Chicago, with what happens over the next four years. Because we're a blue state. So I wonder if we're still comfortable because we voted blue, we did the right thing. Are we coming from a place of entitlement? Standing Rock isn't that far from us but I don't know how hard Illinois is fighting for that cause. There's a lot of things that are wrong in the world that have been before Trump was elected. So where did you stand when those things were happening and where do you stand now?"


text: From the inspired take on the 1939 War of the Worlds broadcast (Aliens Are Coming!, 2006), McCarthy turns her attention to another icon of 20th-century pop culture, Charles Atlas. Bug-eyed cartoony acrylics depict the arrival on American shores of young Angelo Siciliano and the now-legendary sand-kicking episode on Coney Island's beach: "SPLAT!" Inspired by a statue of Hercules in a museum and a powerful lion at the zoo, he determined to remake himself. Of course, he did, becoming the inspiration for thousands of comics-reading 98-pound weaklings that followed. Such a story could easily be deadly in its virtue, but both the humor of the illustrations and the accretion of cool Atlas facts—he served as the model for over 75 statues around the country; he still reigns as "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man"—keep things light without undercutting the author's genuine admiration for the man. Comic-strip panels appropriately share the space with traditional spreads and mock black-and-white photographs, delivering a sunny account of Atlas's life and career. An extensive author's note expands on both man and influence; four exercises are also provided. (bibliography) (Picture book/biography. 5-8)

Common Child Food Allergy Triggers
Some certain foods tend to trigger food allergies in children. Don't get carried away and feed your baby new foods too quickly or feed foods that are known allergens until your baby reaches age 1. A baby's immature immune system is more likely to react to allergens.
Because these foods typically cause problems with children less than 1 year of age, wait until your kid is older than 1 year old to consider trying any of these items:
Cow's milk: Many children have allergy problems with cow's milk. If you discover an allergy with cow's milk, try a soymilk substitute.
Eggs: If eggs present an allergy, you can use egg substitutes that are on your grocery store shelf.
Gluten and wheat: Gluten is a protein found in grains, especially wheat. Children that have gluten allergies must avoid all products with wheat.
Peanuts: Peanuts aren't true nuts — they're actually legumes from the pea and bean family. Children with allergies to peanuts can be very sensitive to foods with even tiny amounts of peanuts in them. Avoid all foods with peanuts.
Shellfish: Wait until your child is at least 2 before you try serving shellfish because shellfish often causes reactions on the more severe end of symptoms: difficulty breathing and anaphylactic shock.

Hi everyone!
I recently went shopping, and purchased two new lipsticks by Esteé Lauder. I'm actually pretty pleased with these, so I wanted to have a little review on each!
The first one is "Pink Power".
It's a creamy, bright pink with super-subtle gold shimmer. Bubble-gum pinks are VERY in right now, and isn't this gorg? It brightens up my face really nicely and gives a young, fresh feel to your makeup. Plus, it's very long-lasting, (Trust me, I wore it to school today and hardly had to do touch-ups!) but pricey. 25 bucks pricey. 😦
The SECOND one is "Violet Electra"
This is my new favorite color I've EVER owned. Look at that swatch! Isn't it dazzling? On the lips, it does not look like chrome, but a beautiful swipe of lush, delectable color. It's unique. It's edgy. It's sexy. It's va-va-voom sexy. When I wear it, it brings out every bit of gold in my skin and eyes, and I adore it. I MORE than adore it. I love it. I crave it. It's the color I've been waiting for all my life.
Love you guys! Peace out!

And here we are. It's the finals performance night on The Voice and all four vocalists have plenty of chances to help you decide who to vote for (or who not to vote for if they slip up). But as we've seen throughout the season, there is some serious talent here and after the performances, you'll find very few slips. All four competitors brought their A games, which should make Tuesday's revealing of the winner at least interesting. Continue reading "The Voice Finals: Three Shots, Few Misses"
The Voice Semifinals: Hard Choices Await as More Than Four Score
…And then there were eight. But after weeks of being kind with the cuts, The Voice axe will get in some major work this week as the field gets cut in half after the latest performances. So without further adieu, let's see how the remaining Voice competitors did in their biggest moments of the season. Continue reading "The Voice Semifinals: Hard Choices Await as More Than Four Score"
The Voice Top 9: Ruling With Restraint
Hey! Who turned off the power? As we head into the Top 9 performances on The Voice, some of the night's top performances were turned in by typical powerhouses who flipped the switch and showcased vulnerability and restraint rather than relying on the rasp, the raw and the power of their voices. So let's get into the Top 9 performances, which shows a shakeup in the Top 5. Continue reading "The Voice Top 9: Ruling With Restraint"
The Voice Top 10: Got the Blues, Can't Lose
While the winner of this season's The Voice has yet to be crowned (no matter what Adam Levine may say, the odds are looking more and more like the winner will have a blues background. Once considered a bit of a novelty in the competition, Team Blake's Adam Wakefield and Team Adam's Laith Al-Saadi have improved their standings in recent weeks, while some of Alisan Porter's best work on Team Christina have been tinged with a bluesy delivery that allows her to belt with more power and attitude. That being said, this week it all converged for blues-loving fans as the night's top four all thrived with a bit of that attitude thrown in. So let's take a look at the night's Top 5 Voice competitors:
Continue reading "The Voice Top 10: Got the Blues, Can't Lose"
The Voice Top 11: Laith It On the Line
The Voice scaled down one last week as Team Pharrell's Emily Keener was ousted after surprisingly finding herself in the bottom two. It turned out to be an unexpected bottom pair as Emily found herself squaring off against Team Adam's Owen Danoff, even though Team Blake's Paxton Ingram was by far the lowest selling performer on iTunes. Will the surprises keep coming? Let's get into tonight's performances and find out. Continue reading "The Voice Top 11: Laith It On the Line"
The Voice Top 12: Alisan Porter, Hannah Huston + Adam Wakefield Continue to Thrive
As we hit the Top 12 on The Voice, odds are most viewers have clued in to some definite frontrunners. From her Blind Audition performance, Team Christina's Alisan Porter got some declarations similar to what Jordan Smith received last season, and like Smith, she's not done anything to really have anyone swayed from those positive comments. Likewise, Team Blake's Adam Wakefield has emerged as a soulful country-tinged artist who feels like he's toiled at radio for years. And young teacher Hannah Huston has been Team Pharrell's top performer from the moment she stepped onstage. So it should come as no surprise that all three once against commanded the stage for standout performances during the Top 12 show. Continue reading "The Voice Top 12: Alisan Porter, Hannah Huston + Adam Wakefield Continue to Thrive"
The Voice Live Playoffs: Teams Christina + Blake Face Tough Choices
We've seen them audition, we've seen them battle and yes we've even seen a few get knocked out. Only 20 remain (though four additional performers are getting a second chance) as we head into the first night of The Voice Live Rounds. Two of the teams, Blake Shelton's and Christina Aguilera's, will be cut significantly after tonight's performances, so let's get into it.
Continue reading "The Voice Live Playoffs: Teams Christina + Blake Face Tough Choices"
The Voice Battle Rounds, Night 3: Adam Wakefield, Alisan Porter Come to the Forefront
It's a new week, but we're now well into The Voice Battle Rounds. Who will survive? Who will the coaches use their final few steals on? And who will wow enough to top The Voice rankings? Lets get into the latest Voice Battle Rounds: Continue reading "The Voice Battle Rounds, Night 3: Adam Wakefield, Alisan Porter Come to the Forefront"
The Voice Blind Auditions, Night 2: Adam Wakefield, Angie Keilhauer + Kata Hay Bring Country Cool
It's night two of The Voice Blind Auditions and everyone is still buzzing about Alisan Porter's performance from the night before. While she appears to be the early frontrunner, there are still plenty of spots left on every coach's teams. So who will sing their hearts out and join the competition? Let's get into the Night Two Blind Auditions. Continue reading "The Voice Blind Auditions, Night 2: Adam Wakefield, Angie Keilhauer + Kata Hay Bring Country Cool"

Siân Pledger returned to the Girls' Division to talk to a small group of girls who have been selected for the talented athlete programme. As a recent leaver who has followed her sport and forged her own path, this was a particularly interesting session.
To open the talk, Siân discussed how many athletes will put their sport first and everything else second – from academic study to spending time with friends and family – and said that finding the right balance is difficult. However, she emphasised that although she takes her sport seriously, when the time came to do her GCSEs and A Levels she had to prioritise them because they are important.
Siân's talk was titled 'Chasing Dreams' and this is certainly something she has done. She talked about how she did not conform to the "Bolton School template" of GCSEs, A Levels, University in the UK and a career. Instead, she took a gap year at 16 and moved to Malta to train with her coach. After returning to the UK for her A Levels, she decided to move to Malta again. This led to several years of training with her coach while she worked and obtained a qualification as a physical trainer; she then decided to go to university – but rather than accepting a place at Loughborough University or in the US, she chose the University of Malta.
This really opened the girls' eyes to the wealth of possibilities open to them, if they look for them. Siân's central message was that the 'typical' path does not necessarily have to be the one they follow. She mentioned being "three steps behind everyone else" when she first went to university, as her friends were already getting jobs and buying houses – but stressed that this was the right decision for her as she was following her dream, competing at national running events in the UK and Malta, and in 2011 was invited to the world trials.
However, Siân suffered an injury to her ankles, which has unfortunately has kept her out of national competition since then. Despite this, she never gave up and continued to train in the gym and pool even though she could not be on the track. She gave the girls a lot of excellent advice for injury recovery and emphasised the importance of not giving up.
As a result of Siân's perseverance, she will be competing over the weekend at the UK National Indoor competition this weekend – a fantastic positive note on which to end the talk.
This was a great chance for the girls to be inspired by a recent leaver who has taken an interesting journey since leaving Bolton School, and has never given up on her dream or passion for her sport.

I have been a counselor in the St. Vrain Valley school district since 1998 splitting my time between Lyons Elementary and Hygiene Elementary. My undergraduate degree is in Education, and after teaching for about 15 years, I earned a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have great interest and extensive training in conflict resolution, restorative justice, non-violent communication, and mediation, with experience in both family and workplace mediation. I have enjoyed facilitating numerous student peer mediation trainings and have trained over 1000 students to be peer mediators in over 30 schools, 6 counties, and 2 states. Conducting level II trainings to train adults to train their students as peer mediators has been equally rewarding. This experience supported me in beginning the Peace PALS program at Lyons, and this program continues to be a hallmark of our school. Peace PALS are 5th graders trained each year to promote peace and to assist other students in resolving conflict through peer mediation and the use of Peace Place. I've been fortunate to serve on numerous conference planning committees including the Academy of Family Mediators, Association of Conflict Resolution, and Colorado School Mediation Project.
My experience and training in various embodiment practices including brain gym, yoga, and 5 Rhythms dance supports my work with the children. I work to promote awareness of the physical, mental, and emotional connection with children with a focus on calming and relaxation.
My experience in working with children and families includes:
I love my work as an elementary school counselor. Having the opportunity to work with the kids, addressing social and emotional issues,and seeing them incorporate skills that build their emotional intelligence is so rewarding. It is a gift to see these kids each day.
I visit classrooms approximately twice a month, addressing the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) standards. Additionally, I am available to meet with parents, teachers, and students (individually or in groups) to discuss any school, social, personal, or emotional concerns. Small groups such as "social Skills" or "Friendship Groups" may be formed as needed

A Burgess Hill woman, who has been driven on by seeing her mother suffer with diabetes, has lost over two stone in weight and become much more active after signing up for a Mid Sussex Wellbeing pre-diabetes course.
After a routine visit to the doctor in January 2016 Joanne Hamilton from Burgess Hill was advised that she was at risk of developing diabetes.
"My mum's diabetic, has suffered with blindness and suffers awfully with her legs, so it was a real spur to do something," said Joanne. "I was given a leaflet by my GP recommending the pre-diabetes course run by Mid Sussex Wellbeing. It was held at my local GP surgery, so it wasn't inconvenient at all, and it was packed full of information.
"At the end of the course we were asked if anyone would like to do anything extra or have some one-to-one support. We were told about the 12 week Mid Sussex Wellbeing courses in Burgess Hill, which are local to me and cost just £1 per week, so it was a bit of a no brainer really; if someone was going to help me. "All I can say from the heart is I know I would be bigger now than when I started if it wasn't for the Wellbeing courses. I've lost 2st 3lbs, which is amazing, and it's completely changed the way I look at food. I've now taken up swimming and I'm going three times a week, where I meet up with some of the other ladies from the group.
"The Wellbeing course has been invaluable. I have yo-yo dieted in the past and joined slimming clubs but personally I don't think they work. The only way to do it is to change your lifestyle and I would recommend the Wellbeing team."
The number of people living with diabetes in the UK has tipped over the 4 million mark for the first time, a figure that has increased by over 65% in the last decade. The Mid Sussex Wellbeing team is working hard to try and buck that trend locally and has announced new dates for their successful pre-diabetes programme to help people at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes avoid the condition.
The programme is open to anyone who is concerned about their lifestyle or weight. However, some people are more at risk of developing the condition than others so residents with a family history of Type 2 diabetes, a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 25 and adults from ethnic minority backgrounds are being strongly encouraged to sign-up for the prevention programme.
The free course looks at small and manageable steps that individuals can take to avoid developing Type 2 diabetes, such as changes to diet, increasing activity levels and other lifestyle factors.
The free half-day courses will be run at GP surgeries in Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath on the following dates:
East Grinstead - Friday 16 September
Haywards Heath - Thursday 13 October
Burgess Hill - Friday 21 October
Burgess Hill - Wednesday 2 November
East Grinstead - Friday 11 November
Burgess Hill - Friday 2 December
Haywards Heath - Thursday 8 December
East Grinstead - Friday 20 January 2017
Burgess Hill - Wednesday 1 February 2017
Haywards Heath - Thursday 9 February2017
Burgess Hill - Friday 17 February2017
East Grinstead - Friday 17th March 2017

Momenta Pharmaceuticals Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year End 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb 11, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:MNTA), a biotechnology company specializing in the characterization and engineering of complex drugs, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.
For the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company reported a net loss of $14.7 million, compared to a net loss of $18.4 million for the same period in 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $64.0 million compared to a net loss of $62.6 million for the same period in 2008. At December 31, 2009, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $95.7 million, compared to $108.5 million at December 31, 2008.
"Momenta is poised for a pivotal year in 2010," commented Craig A. Wheeler, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to believe the FDA will approve the ANDA for generic Lovenox(R). Together with our collaborative partner Sandoz, we are prepared for a potential launch. The FDA review of the ANDA for the second complex mixture product in our pipeline, generic Copaxone(R), is also well underway. Our novel drug candidates, products of Momenta's proprietary analytical platform, are advancing. We begin 2010 financially strong and committed to developing needed medications that will deliver value to patients," he concluded.
2009 Highlights:
-- In 2009 the FDA continued to review the ANDA for M-Enoxaparin, a generic version Lovenox. During the year the agency inspected the manufacturing supply chain and, we believe, we have now satisfactorily resolved all of the outstanding technical and regulatory issues relating to approval. -- We made considerable progress in the regulatory, product and process development activities required to support the approval and commercialization for M356, a generic version of Copaxone. -- We announced positive Phase 2a study results for M118, Momenta's novel anticoagulant, supporting its potential to become the baseline anticoagulant of choice for patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). -- We presented preclinical data for M402, a novel oncology product candidate, at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting. M402, a rationally designed molecule with a novel mechanism of action, was shown to inhibit tumor metastasis in two murine models, providing a rationale for further clinical development. -- The Momenta Board of Directors was strengthened with the addition of Bruce L. Downey, former Chairman and CEO of Barr Laboratories. -- We completed a $46.8 million follow-on offering of Momenta stock.
Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $5.6 million, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, revenue was $20.2 million, compared to $14.6 million for 2008. The increase in revenue in both periods was a result of an increase in reimbursable expenses associated with the development of our M356 program.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $14.2 million, compared to $15.4 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in research and development expenses from fourth quarter 2008 to fourth quarter 2009 principally resulted from a decrease in clinical development costs associated with the completion of the M118 Phase 2a clinical trial in June 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, research and development expenses were $60.6 million, compared to $55.3 million for 2008. The year-over-year increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased manufacturing and third-party research and development expenditures associated with our M356 program.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $6.1 million, compared with $6.2 million for the same period in 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses were $23.8 million, compared to $24.6 million for 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees.

By the early twenty seconds of listening to the first track, "Desperate" is palpable the climate of tension and anguish in which the listener is enveloped. The roll of the tympanum, which increases more and more, with trombones and piano in unison, is interrupted by a violent blow of dishes and bows, always in unison, they respond with a short and painful sentence with lower-pitched sounds and supported by strong a background percussive vibraphone and piano that is able to describe the acoustic situation of danger and anguish actually present in the film.
This would suffice to emphasize mastery, sensitivity, and the compositional technique in which, M ° Lavagnino, has created this wonderful soundtrack, but his music is not limited to this, continuing in its hypothetical descriptive line, he says unquestionably, with a relentless rhythmic deep sound of tympanum and also with compact interventions winds in the lower register, the task of the accident and the severity with which the man, understood as the military continues to perpetrate undaunted, in a relentless rhythmic obsessive, the destruction of the human being called "enemy" being called "enemy" without worrying about the innocent victims that his action could result.
Suddenly, under a long military theme trumpet, emphasized by the tympanum and the intervention of the snare drum, appears a gentle chorus of female voices which emphasizes the fragility and sensitivity of their female gender.
This greatly influences the structure of the composition of the theme of the trumpet while continuing his sentence topic, it seems to bend to this new and delicate operation just getting sore.
This song, which is just the first, expresses, in little more than two minutes, the idea with which the Master Lavagnino has designed its entire soundtrack is music in its purest form. An example of his wisdom and knowledge of orchestral timbres of their ability to arouse new sensations and, at the same time, always different.

"Best surf charter trips with only a few surfers on board"
Charter this surf boat with 4 pax only!
The best surf charter trips are the ones with only a few surfers on board. No lengthy discussion about where to surf and what to do. No instant crowds. Plenty of privacy. Small and easily maneuverable boat. Maximum surf time. You and your best mates.
"Traditional Maldivian boat features everything you need"
The Gulfaam is undoubtedly the best private charter option for very small groups of 4-6 pax. It is a traditional Maldivian boat that features everything you need for a real surf trip. 6 well ventilated guest cabins and a large sundeck. A crew of 4 will treat you with a superb service. You will be surprised how good they are. The Gulfaam is managed by one of the largest tourism and service companies in the Maldives. The company owns 7 surf charter boats and has proven to be very reliable. Most of the clients rebook the boat for the year after.
Usually all boats in the Maldives are too large and expensive to be chartered by small groups. Not the Gulfaam – you won't pay more than on another comparable but larger boat that you would share with 10 or more guests. There is no reason for you to get larger groups of friends together or stay on a shared charter with strangers.
Just book your private surf trip with your preferred mates to your preferred dates in your preferred area of the Maldives!

The best-known symptoms of Black Death are the raised bumps around the lymph nodes generally known as buboes. As the person gets sicker, these tend to darken, which is where the name "black death" comes from. Other symptoms of Black Death are actually rather similar to a bad case of the flu. Patients will often develop fevers, muscle aches, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting. In truth, the actual term "black death" is not used as often as it once was, and more often now, the disease is called "bubonic plague," or simply "the plague."
It doesn't take long after the symptoms of Black Death appear for the patient to die, and this is one of the reasons it can still be very dangerous even with modern medical treatments. Since many of the symptoms are relatively common in much less deadly disorders, people may not always seek the treatments they need. Sometimes people may die within three days of showing the first symptoms, and this doesn't give the person very much time to realize he is suffering from the Black Death or even recognize the potential seriousness of his illness.
Pneumonic plague, which is a respiratory infection from the same bacteria that causes Black Death, leads to a deadly type of pneumonia, and this kind of plague can sometimes be transmitted through the air, making it much more dangerous. Bubonic plague, on the other hand, is usually transmitted via the bites of parasitic insects that have also feasted on the blood of infected rodents. In the past, people often lived in very unsanitary circumstances, and they didn't generally have any reliable methods of pest control. As a result, their homes were often infested with rats and other rodents in a way that is much more severe than would be common in more modern eras.
During historic times, the combination of unreliable medical techniques and the prevalence of rodents lead to terrible epidemics of Black Death. According to many experts, millions of people died, greatly decimating many historic populations. Some of the worst Black Death epidemics happened in China and Europe.
Eventually, more reliable treatments were developed, and people found better ways to protect themselves from rodent infestation. Generally speaking, antibiotics have become the most common approach when a patient shows symptoms of Black Death. These drugs are usually able to fight off the bacteria pretty effectively, but early treatment is generally crucial to give the patient the best chance of recovery.

A story appeared in the news some time back -- maybe a couple of years -- about a little girl who was hospitalized with high fever, vomiting, etc. The doctors treated her for septic shock, but she didn't improve, and blood tests didn't show anything.
Turns out, she had been camping in the woods with her family and had come in contact with a dead squirrel. When her doctor found out, she suspected plague and treated her accordingly. The little girl improved immediately and was able to go home a few days later.
It's odd how a disease once so common could become so rare that even trained doctors don't know to look for the signs.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
