[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: February 8, 2008: The 'peak oil' theory should not stick: new reserves are being discovered around the world on a regular basis. The bringing on stream this week of Iran's vast Azadegan field -- estimated to have some 26 billion barrels of oil -- and expansive, still largely untouched provinces in Russia, such as Yamal and East Siberia, show that the Earth is far from running on empty.
[EarthPortal] EIF Week 38 - Climate, Poverty and Health: Not to put too fine a point on it, but primary prevention measures are “those intended to prevent the onset of a condition,” including things like vaccination that literally prevent disease. Secondary prevention usually consists of those things that prevent disease for people who are still asymptomatic but who have already developed preclinical disease-much like our earth today.

The capitol has ordered local governments to keep the thermostats set no lower than 77° F and to turn off air conditioners a half-hour before the end of the day--with a $1,250 fine for non-compliance.
[portland indymedia - newswire] The Republican Candidate (4 and 5): While many of us have become insensitive to the White House's atrocities, Johnson's indignation with the Administration -its torture memoranda, its disdain for free public information, its mockery of established treaties- is vivid.
