NEXT-GENERATION BIOFUELS COULD CREATE OVER 18,000 JOBS, DISPLACE NEARLY 15% OF GASOLINE CONSUMED IN DC METRO AREA, AND REDUCE MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF NUTRIENT RUNOFF TO THE BAY

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND — Homegrown energy could power a robust local economy and improve the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay by significantly reducing pollution runoff to the Bay’s local waterways. That’s the top finding in a report released today by the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The authors, a multidisciplinary team of economists, scientists, and other experts conclude:

* Farms, forests, and landfills in the Chesapeake Bay area could realistically produce about 500 million gallons of fuel — equivalent to a six week supply of gasoline for the DC metro area.
* Raising the crops, refining the fuel, and getting it to market would support about 18,559 jobs
* Raising switchgrass, willows, and poplars for fuel on suitable land would reduce water pollution from fertilizers by millions of pounds.

“This report clearly highlights the real and quantifiable benefits a next-generation biofuels industry presents to the Bay region, and outlines very near-term policy decisions each state could – and should – take to enhance an already growing economic opportunity for the region and get it right so that the industry can grow in a way that is environmentally sustainable,” Maryland Delegate Jim Hubbard said, Chair of the project’s Advisory Panel for the third year in a row.

“Biofuels” is a broad term that covers several forms of energy derived from plant materials. One process is growing and processing switchgrass and fast-growing poplar and willow trees into ethanol. By 2020, the authors forecast a sustainable production of 500 Million gallons of next-generation biofuels per year, using only land resources and practices that improve water quality throughout the region. This estimate assumes no use that limits farmland currently in food or livestock production or forests currently used for wood products.

Hitting this level of production would support more than 18,500 jobs across the economy – from construction jobs needed to build biorefineries to on-farm production jobs needed to grow and harvest the cellulosic feedstocks that produce the fuel. About half of the farmland and private forests in the Chesapeake Bay are currently idle. The report does not call for reducing production of food, livestock, or wood products on working farms or forests.

“A next-generation biofuels industry can create major advances for the Bay region in economic growth, renewable energy produced sustainably right here at home, and improve water quality by reducing runoff to the Chesapeake Bay,” said Maryland Senator Thomas “Mac” Middleton, Chairman of the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the only full-time farmer in the Maryland General Assembly. “Over 18,000 green collar jobs created from a renewable energy industry while improving the health of the Bay – now that’s something we can’t ignore.”

“Pennsylvania appreciates the opportunity to co-champion this initiative with the Chesapeake Bay Commission to grow the biofuels industry in the Bay watershed,” said Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell C. Redding. “Building a regional biofuels industry is good for the environment, national security and our agricultural economy.”

Over the past two years, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake Bay Commission have taken the necessary steps to position the Chesapeake region as a national leader in the evolution to sustainable advanced biofuels. The report released today, Chesapeake Biofuel Policies: Balancing Energy, Economy and Environment, presents the responses and accomplishments of the Bay state Governors and legislatures from the past year, as well as the results of ongoing analysis by a select Biofuels Advisory Panel.

The Biofuels Advisory Panel recommends that regional leaders focus on the following near-term opportunities:

1. Officially adopt a regional production target and set supporting state-specific production goals.
2. Implement policy on the following near-term opportunities:
a. Develop biomass harvest guidelines.
b. Encourage winter crops as biofuel feedstocks.
c. Avoid the introduction of invasive species.
3. Create an interstate, interagency Regional Council for Bioenergy Development that will promote collaboration among jurisdictions and integrate the issues of biofuels and environmental improvement with other regional priorities such as agricultural and forest sustainability.

The Chesapeake Bay Commission is a policy leader in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. As a tri-state legislative body that advises the legislative branch of state government, its mission is to identify critical environmental needs, evaluate public concerns, and ensure state and Federal actions to sustain the living resources of the Chesapeake Bay. The commission works directly with the state General Assemblies and the U.S. Congress and serves as the legislative branch of the Chesapeake Bay Program.

London, UK, November 23, 2009 — Many men only have mild symptoms of BPH and someone may suggest that no treatment for them is required. However an enlarged prostate – BPH influences everyday man’s life by decreasing his sexual activity. New Thermobalancing treatment is directed to ease symptoms of BPH and shrink the prostate naturally.

More information about the device can be found on the Fine Treatment website:

http://www.finetreatment.co.uk/natural-alternative/prostate-treatment.html

The cause of a prostate enlargement was unknown until Dr Allen created the Theory of the Origin of Health Disorders, which explains, that the cause of BPH is an increased pressure inside the prostate. This pressure pushes surrounding tissue to expand. The only way to abort the process of enlargement of the prostate is to stop this pressure, read more on Fine Treatment website.

Compare with existing conventional treatment
1.Most cases of BPH are trying to treat with different medications (not successful). Different medications in many cases are depressing metabolic processes which are essential for normal functioning of the body. As a result of it man can feel weakness and fatigue and also there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal complications ranging from stomach pain to severe constipation.

2.Surgical intervention is dangerous because of possible infection. In addition, urinary incontinence is a devastating complication that can occur. Another possible complication is that the nerves that control the penis can become damaged. If it happens, impotence can develop

Absolutely new BPH treatment offered by Fine Treatment cannot be compared with existing methods of mainstream medicine, because it does not have side effects and completely harmless.

How does Dr Allen’s Device for Prostate Care work?
The natural thermo-elements are a major component of the Dr Allen’s therapeutic device. By making the prostate temperature constant, Dr Allen’s Device for Prostate Care creates an ideal environment for the capillaries to stabilise the body temperature in prostate tissue and supply it with all necessary nutrients, thereby helping the organ to recover from Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, BPH. This unique BPH treatment restores potency and increases libido. The sooner you start to use this advanced natural Thermobalancing treatment, the better your chance for the full recovery from BPH.

JAG Communications is trialling a brand-new handset recycling scheme in three of the company’s branches.

Members of the public can return broken, unwanted or obsolete handsets to JAG branches in Llanelli, Port Talbot and Cirencester. The handsets will then be sent off to Banana Green –the recycling service for JAG’s repair company Total Repair Service.

Handsets sent to Banana Green will be repaired, refurbished disassembled for parts. Repaired handsets will be sent out for sale in developing countries with fledgling telecommunications industries.

JAG Communications Managing Director John George said: “It’s easy to forget, being Westerners; that a lot of economies throughout the world are only just getting to the point where civilian mobile phone ownership is a reality. They have fledgling communications infrastructures and it’s highly encouraging to be working with a company which aims to improve their quality of life by supplying them with cheap, working handsets.”

If the scheme proves successful, JAG Communications will consider implementing the system in all 148 of the company’s branches.

Area Manager for Wales and the surrounding counties Clark Hartnell said: “We’re striving to explore as many environmental solutions as we can. As long as we keep looking for more ways to improve the way we run our business and reduce our impact on the environment then we can at least say that we’re trying our best to set a positive example.”
