NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Boeing Co. said Monday that its Japanese suppliers for its next-generation 787 Dreamliner and other aircraft haven't been seriously affected so far by last week's earthquake-tsunami disaster, but the company remains on guard.
New video shows smoking reactors: Japan's defense ministry releases video footage of smoking reactors at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Power shortages to hit profits
Tokyo Electric Power says electricity supply capacity will fall short of demand at least through the summer, and analysts weigh the impact.
• Overseas investors bought Japan stocks
• Fukushima No. 3 reactor core leaked: report
• Uranium bull unfazed by Japan crisis
• Food fears ripple around the world
• Japan: The business aftershocks
• Japan quake could cost $308 billion: Tokyo
• Japan banks may offer loans to Tepco
• Disaster raises fear of quake cluster
More than one-third of the 787 is being built in Japan before being shipped to Everett, Wash., for final assembly. Japanese companies also provide parts for the Boeing /quotes/zigman/220026/delayed/quotes/nls/ba BA -0.48% 777 and 767 jetliners.
The twin-aisle 787 jetliner is designed to carry up to 290 passengers and is being tested for U.S. certification. In part because of problems in its extensive supply chain, the 787's first delivery — now scheduled for the third quarter — has been delayed numerous times.
"Initial reports from our business partners in Japan are that they have had no major impact," said Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel. "However, we continue to assess the situation."
The situation in Japan was fluid, but Boeing was monitoring the availability of power, infrastructure and transportation — which are essential to continued operations by its partners and suppliers in the country.
"We have some inventory of parts, so it will be several weeks before we may start seeing issues," Birtel said.
Shares of Boeing declined 1.3% to close at $70.74, outpacing a 0.6% decline in the benchmark S&P 500 Index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.59% .
Jim Albaugh, chief of Boeing's commercial airplanes unit, said the 787 was 85% through the test-flight program toward certification.
"Assuming we don't have any more discoveries, and we don't anticipate any, we will deliver this summer," Albaugh told CNBC.
Tokyo-based Bridgestone Corp. /quotes/zigman/192084/delayed JP:5108 -1.44% /quotes/zigman/192507/delayed/quotes/nls/brdcy BRDCY -0.61% provides tires for the 787, while Panasonic /quotes/zigman/194943/delayed JP:6752 -0.16% provides the aircraft's cabin services and in-flight entertainment systems. The facilities that build those products don't appear to have been affected by the quake, but no one from the companies was immediately available to confirm that.
Fuji Heavy Industries supplies the center wing box for the 787, produced at facilities south of Tokyo in Hanad, as well as Utsunomiya City, just north of Tokyo.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries /quotes/zigman/194287/delayed JP:7012 -2.47% /quotes/zigman/194294/delayed/quotes/nls/kwhif KWHIF -1.50% supplies the main landing-gear well and parts for the wings and forward fuselage. The company just opened a new production facility for 787 parts in Nagoya, south of Tokyo.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries /quotes/zigman/195218/delayed JP:7011 -1.75% supplies the wing box, also built in Nagoya.
Jamco Corp. /quotes/zigman/1645269/delayed JP:7408 -1.45% , with facilities west of Tokyo, provides lavatories, flight-deck interiors, the flight-deck door and the bulkhead assembly.
Boeing has suspended business travel to Japan until airports and transportation systems return to more normal operations, according to Birtel.
The company has 200 employees residing in the country, all of whom were accounted for with no reports of serious injuries, Birtel said.

The similarities between playing the game of soccer and playing the game of property investment have not escaped former Liverpool star, Robbie Fowler, who is believed to own more than 80 rental properties across the North West of England and is worth an estimated £28 million. His property portfolio, consisting largely of terrace houses, is so extensive that Manchester City fans would sing "We all live in a Robbie Fowler house" to the tune of 'The Beatles' Yellow Submarine duing his time at the club. He has since established the Robbies Fowler Property Academy.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- An Anderson Co. man was arrested in connection with the death of a 33 year-old Lake City woman found dead on Cobb Hollow Road in September of last year, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced on Tuesday.
James Wylie has been charged with Criminal Homicide, Kidnapping, and Leaving the Scene of a Death or Personal Injury. The u54 year-old Clinton man has been booked into the Anderson Co. Jail on $500,000 bond.
According to the TBI, the victim, Martha Rose McGhee, fell out of Wylie's vehicle and hit her head, causing her death. It added that the Wylie and McGhee were reportedly friends.
The 7th Judicial District Attorney General had asked the TBI to join the Anderson Co. Sheriff's Office in investigating McGhee's death.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The South Laurel Lady Cardinals knew Bell County could shoot, but did they know the Lady Bobcats could shoot this good? Bell County topped the Lady Cardinals 62-55 Friday with 33 of their points coming on three-pointers
South Laurel coach Konnie Snyder went over the numbers with her team before the game. Bell County shoots 41 percent from the three-point line and 46 percent from the field.
"They shoot as well from the three-point line as they do the field and they would much rather shoot a three," Snyder said.
The Lady Bobcats made six straight three-pointers in the second quarter as they opened a double-figure lead. They made three straight in the third quarter as the lead peaked at 19 points.
"We chose to come out in a zone because we felt like they would gap us too bad, penetrate and pitch it back out," Snyder said. "We knew how they could shoot, but we were hoping they would come out just a little bit cold."
The Lady Bobcats didn't come out blazing. They made just 6-of-16 shots in the first quarter, while the Lady Cardinals made 6-of-11. South Laurel was also controlling the boards, led by Taylor Arthur with a 20-rebound night. What the Lady Cardinals didn't do was take care of the ball.
"We got the ball down the sideline and couldn't get it back out. We got trapped a few times. We had discussed that, but we didn't exactly execute," Snyder said.
South Laurel turned the ball over six times in the first quarter. A quarter that featured four ties and six lead changes before Bell County closed it out with a 14-13 lead.
With 5:23 in the half, Arthur scored inside on a lob from Emily Clonce. The Lady Cardinals trailed by just five, but would go five minutes before they made another field goal.
"We tend to have little gaps like that. I don't know really what it is. We stop being aggressive. We probably took the most perimeter shots during that time and were not aggressive toward the basket," Snyder said.
By the time Preslie Baker drove the lane for a layup to break the drought, there were only 22 seconds in the half. Bell County led 33-22 at the break.
South Laurel made defensive adjustments at the half, but it didn't slow the Lady Bobcats. Three quick three-pointers had the lead at 45-26. So South Laurel tweaked the defense again. The Lady Bobcats didn't make a three-pointer the final 13:30.
The Lady Cardinals ended the third quarter on an 11-2 run to trim the lead to 10 points. They got as close as six points with 1:36 to play, but Bell County sealed the win at the foul line.
Snyder said she didn't put any extra significance on this game because it was against one of the top teams in the region. This wasn't a measuring stick against Bell County.
"Every game is a big game for us. We feel like we have to improve every day. Whether it is a game or practice, we have got to improve," Snyder said.
The Lady Cardinals played in two December tournaments. The time spent in those tournaments and away from the practice floor may have set the Lady Cardinals back.
"We did things we needed to work on until the game today. The first time they heard anything about Bell County was when I went into the locker room before the game," Snyder said.
South Laurel will host North Laurel tonight.
Bell County 62, South Laurel 55
Bell County 14 19 14 15—62
South Laurel 13 9 15 18—55
BELL COUNTY (62)—Sanders 15, Garnett 13, Smith 3, Morris 23, Johnson 6, Boatright 2.
SOUTH LAUREL (55)—Arthur 10, Johnson 16, Clonce 19, Baker 2, Parker 2, Reynolds 6.

Barnard College's Environmental Science Department provides highly motivated young women with challenging and rewarding programs in Environmental Science, Environmental Biology, and Environmental Policy. High academic standards, multidisciplinary courses, and training in methodologies such as field work, measurements, and data analysis, ready our students with the tools needed to think critically, evaluate and solve problems, and understand and communicate science to address the needs of society. Faculty members are nationally and internationally recognized scholars and educators, active in research and curriculum development. Courses are innovative, featuring multimedia and technologically advanced resources. The urban setting, the proximity to the Hudson River, and the numerous affiliations we maintain with Columbia University through Lamont‐Doherty Earth Observatory, the Earth Institute, and the School of Public Health, as well as Black Rock Forest, the American Museum of Natural History and other institutions, allow us to offer undergraduates unparalleled opportunities for student research and educational experiences. Upon successful completion of our program, our students are well prepared to continue their academic studies as graduate students or to pursue successful careers in a wide range of fields.
We expect that students graduating with an environmental major will learn to:
The foundation is laid for students to:
Majors learn how to:
Environmental Science provides a scientific basis for management of earth systems. It focuses on the interaction between human activities, resources, and the environment. As human population grows and technology advances, pressures on earth's natural systems are becoming increasingly intense and complex. Environmental Science is an exciting field where science is used to best serve society. The department offers two majors, Environmental Science and Environmental Policy. A third major, Environmental Biology, is offered in conjunction with the Department of Biological Sciences.
The curriculum recognizes the need for well-trained scientists to cope with balancing human requirements and environmental conservation. Majors acquire an understanding of earth systems by taking courses in the natural sciences, as well as courses investigating environmental stress. Students learn to critically evaluate the diverse information necessary for sound environmental analysis. Our courses foster an interdisciplinary approach to environmental problem-solving.
Internships or some type of work or field experience are extremely valuable in preparing students for a career in Environmental Science. We strongly encourage students to consider an internship in the summer before the senior year because it may lay the foundation for the senior thesis. Studies have shown that students who have had related work experience are more attractive to employers and graduate schools.
Students interested in environmental science might want to consider a semester or summer program at the SEE-U, SEA Semester at Woods Hole, the School for Field Studies, the Organization for Tropical Studies, or some other field program. In addition, we recommend that those students planning to go abroad in the junior year elect to do so in the Fall Semester rather than the Spring Semester in order to take best advantage of senior seminar research planning and programming.
Students wishing to go on to graduate school or careers in earth science and the physical sciences should take at least two semesters each of calculus, physics, and chemistry. Those considering graduate school or careers in biological/chemical fields are recommended to take calculus as well as upper-level courses in biology and chemistry, and may wish to consider enrolling in an Environmental Biology major or minors in these fields. Students interested in pursuing further work in environmental policy, economics, environmental law, journalism, or teaching may consider enrolling in an Environmental Policy major or pursuing a double major, a special major, or a major/minor combination in relevant fields.

One month after Daytona Beach teen Kitty Pryde released her Beautiful Lou-produced song "Okay Cupid" on her Bandcamp, inaugurating a run of fawning interviews with Portals, Mishka and Vice, she retweeted maybe the aptest description of her yet: "the jail bait Hayley Williams of Rap." With an innocent giggle, a pouty bottom lip with "Prince$$" tattooed on the inside and a '90s baby's openness to social media—last week she posted a series of prom photos on her Tumblr, which also features a reaction video to Lil Ugly Mane and a photo of her smiling behind Lil B's book—Kitty Pryde has fallen into the role of the internet's preeminent coy white girl rapper, possibly the first person to ever hold the title.
Though she has released an EP, The Lizzie McGuire Experience, Kitty's two best songs came after it: "Okay Cupid" and "Justin Bieber." She shines by balancing young love talk—I wrote your name on my binder and everybody laughed at me, on "Okay Cupid"—with young sex talk, like her opening lines of "Bieber": Boys are like milk and they expire if you're late on em/ It's legal for me, I don't even have to wait on em. Together, the tracks form a tight pair about earnest crushes from afar, eerily foreshadowing Kitty's own potential place as an idol among nerdy males. She's funny and clever, with a distinctive voice and a unique perspective (in rap, at least), even if sometimes it's hard to separate her music from ideas about what it all means.
The goof-off video for "Okay Cupid," her first since signing with Main Attrakionz' managers, stars Kitty and two friends—one wearing a Star Wars mask and the other in a hat that says "White Trash Bachelorette"—drinking tall boys, googling photos of unlikely heartthrob Danny Brown and shopping at yard sales. High school era. Young shit, dumb shit. Referencing The-Dream and doing karaoke to Frank Ocean in the same song. Being cool by not being cool, or at least not to the confused people around you. And, most importantly, smiling anyway, putting on your Yeastie Girlz T-shirt and making something like-spirited strangers just might obsess over.

DURHAM — Durham schools superintendent Eric Becoats has resigned effective Dec. 31, in the wake of several financial issues.
The school board, after meeting in hourlong closed session Thursday night, accepted his resignation in a 4-3 vote, split along racial lines. White members voted to accept his resignation, while black members voted to reject it. The board had previously voted not to extend Becoats contract when it was to expire in 2016.
The resignation agreement Thursday states: Dr. Becoats and the Board recognize that fundamental differences have arisen between the superintendent and board over the best way to govern Durham Public Schools.
The board will pay Becoats a one-time severance payment, on or before Dec. 31, worth $298,072.54 minus tax, retirement and other deductions as determined by the finance officer. Those funds will come from the school systems local unrestricted fund balance.
Becoats contract, worth $215,848.56 annually, ran through 2016. He spent three years as Durham Public Schools superintendent.
A troubled year
The past year, however, has been rocky.
Last week, an audit revealed the schools had $15 million more in unassigned funds than the board originally reported.
Board Chairwoman Heidi Carter said she had reached out to the commissioners in June because the school board thought it had only $4 million in unassigned funds, far less than the typical $16 million the board has normally kept in the account to help offset state budget cuts. The commissioners allocated another $2.4 million.
Carter said Becoats had provided the board with bad financial information, prompting the county commissioners to ask the school board Tuesday for an explanation of how the mistake was made.
But no one knew.
In October, records revealed Becoats spent $20,157.86 on his district-issued credit card from July 2012 to June 2013 for out-of-state conferences, dinners and lunches with colleagues, economy-class air travel, hotels, room service, limousines from the airport, meetings, workshop supplies, flowers for recognition of employee achievements and gifts to a host family in Mexico.
Becoats credit card was one of four district-issued cards. There had been no official policy outlining the use of the cards, but the board canceled his card in October. In November, they also decided to discontinue the other cards and tighten rules on travel reimbursement and spending.
In July, Becoats came under fire for hiring a school activity bus and driver in June to take friends and family members to private events, including a trip to The Streets at Southpoint mall. He reimbursed the school system $726.80, according to an invoice, and was reprimanded, but the contents of his reprimand were not released to the public.
Accomplishments cited
After the motion to accept his resignation was approved Thursday, Becoats took the floor to highlight his achievements, including being named Superintendent of the Year by the National Alliance of Black Student Educators in 2012.
Dont let anyone tell you that we have not made a difference in the lives of these children, Becoats said in a statement. My mission has not changed, nor has my vision.
After his statement, Becoats shook each board members hands.
Thank you for your positive contributions you have made to the district, and we wish you well, Carter told Becoats.
It was a decision made by the majority of the board that the relationship with the superintendent was not going to be productive going forward, Minnie Forte-Brown, vice chairwoman, said afterward. Im sad to see him go. I think he did a stellar job.
Well start a search, she said. We dont know when that will be, but that will be our next step.
Hugh Osteen, deputy superintendent of operations, will serve as acting superintendent.

Ada —
The Roff Tigers overcame a second-half comeback attempt by the Stonewall Longhorns Tuesday night inside the Murphy-Roberts Gymnasium.
Despite a close game throughout, a third period surge by the Longhorns wasn't enough to make up for missed 3-pointers and turnovers. The Tigers took home a 45-43 win.
"It was a battle the whole time," said Longhorns head coach Wes Moreland. "We just couldn't get anything going offensively. I think we shot 19 percent from the three. If we struggle from the three, it's going to be tough."
The Stonewall Lady Longhorns didn't have the trouble their male counterparts did and sent the Lady Tigers home with a 48-20 shellacking. Stonewall held Roff to just six points in the first half and although the Lady Tigers found a rhythm in the second half, it wasn't enough to come back from a 34-6 deficit in the first half.

OTTUMWA — Southeast Iowa could see some rough weather today.
The entire state is at a slight risk of severe weather, according to the Storm Prediction Center, as a system moves through the upper Midwest. Strong winds and hail are expected to be the main threats from the storms.
The chance of storms during the day is a toss-up, with a 50 percent chance. But they're expected as night falls; the chance overnight is 70 percent. Up to a half-inch of rain is expected across much of the area.
There is good news. The front moving through today and tonight will bring relief from the first sustained heat of the summer. Forecasters expect southeast Iowa to see a heat index above 100 on Tuesday with a high of 92. Wednesday's forecast high is a much cooler 84.
The National Weather Service expects seasonal temperatures in the 80s to remain through the weekend, with temperatures creeping back toward 90 early next week.

The last game in stage four is chicken on Space Walk, but this time you need 200 stars. An easy way to aquire them is by jumping on the lever in the small building, causing the thrusters to start, get to a spot in the room (like near the ramp but don't go on it) so you don't fall out. Doing this will kill the chikens for you and stars will spread around.
Some of the weapons are better then others to use in killing the chickens. The throwing clever works nicely as do the Stick of Reaspn, and the Star Mines. When you have a huge group on you that you can't shkae off, get to a safe distance and use the Plunger Missles or Missile.

In Spacewalk, use the lever found in the main pod of the space station to fire the thrusters and send your opponents into deep space. In Club Bano and Jeffery's Kitchen, look for a switch on the wall to start the fan or garbage disposal respectively.

Shield Reviews
"I seem to have weathered a 10-hour time change with a minimum of jet lag in both directions. While I am getting a lot less sleep per night, my energy has not flagged. My thinking is clear, and calm, not irritable. During the last 2 months I have been closely exposed to many people who have had colds and flu. In spite of being extremely busy, in spite of having taken a grueling trip to Israel and back, and in spite of having to endure a difficult and stressful home life, I have not had one day of illness since wearing the Shield. I am flabbergasted!"

There was something about Brendan Shinnimin that Brad Treliving liked from the moment he met him.
The assistant general manager of the Phoenix Coyotes got his first glimpse of the former Tri-City Americans forward in the fall of 2011 when the Coyotes invited Shinnimin to training camp.
Shinny is a kid we brought in over a year ago to our rookie camp and we tried to sign him to an AHL deal, said Treliving, who also is the GM of the Portland Pirates, Phoenixs AHL affiliate. He told us he would go back to Tri-City until we signed him to an NHL deal.
Shinnimin returned to the Americans, won the Western Hockey League and Canadian Hockey League scoring titles, both Player of the Year awards and along the way made the Coyotes stand up and take notice.
Phoenix signed Shinnimin, 22, to a free-agent NHL contract March 2 and sent him to Portland, Maine.
What I have learned about him and why we signed him, is his competitiveness, Treliving said. He will will his way into the league (NHL).
Shinnimin is off to a good start with the Portland Pirates this season. In the first half of the season he has eight goals and 14 assists. He has three power-play goals and one short-handed. He ranks sixth in team scoring first among the rookies.
The start for me was slower than I wanted, but since Christmas Ive gotten more opportunities, said Shinnimin, who was at home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Monday, enjoying a couple of days off during the AHL All-Star break. Ive shown them what I can do and my coach (Ray Edwards) is playing me more.
Edwards has given Shinnimin time on the power play and, more recently, on the penalty kill.
He is a threat in all situations, Edwards said. We have a lot of first-year players and they find a way to make an impact every day.
Edwards knew of Shinnimins exploits in the WHL last season and said he looked forward to adding him to the lineup this year.
He had quite the year last year, Edwards said. It was amazing to watch him. We are fortunate to sign him. To expect him to come in and do that here would be unrealistic. Its a matter of him getting comfortable with the way we play. Hes the first guy to the rink and the last guy to leave. Hes always watching video and asking questions. What he has is a fine line of confidence vs. ego. He knows where he came from and his confidence drives him.
Shinnimins performance during the first part of the season was impressive enough that when the NHL lockout ended, he was invited to Phoenix for the Red-White scrimmage on Jan. 16.
Shinnimin scored a goal for Team White against Red goalie Jason LaBarbera in a 2-1 victory.
It was pretty cool to go and play in that game, Shinnimin said. Any time you can play at the NHL level is pretty neat, and I scored a goal. It was a fast-paced game. Even though I was there for just a little while, I learned a lot.
Edwards said the experience was invaluable for the six Portland players who were called up to participate in the scrimmage.
Most of these guys understand the depth chart and they have to be cognizant of that part of the game, Edwards said. It was a chance for a handful of guys to play with the guys up there and show what they can do. Everyone that went up there will see (NHL) games in the future.
Until then Shinnimin will ply his trade in Portland, where the Pirates (25-16-1-1, 52 points) lead the Atlantic Division and are third in the 15-team Eastern Conference, six points back of the first-place Binghamton Senators.
In this organization, you have to play your best to stay in the lineup, Shinnimin said. Every player up here is capable of playing in the NHL, and they compete like it every night.
A fact every player should know, Treliving said.
I think a lot of guys like Shinny who have had success, dont realize how hard the AHL is, Treliving said. He understands. Last year, they were playing against 16, 17 and 18-year-olds. Now, they are playing against guys who are 29 or 30 with a wife and kids and this is how they put food on the table.
Treliving said he has seen an improvement in Shinnimins game since the start of the season and that his numbers are very respectable for his first year.
He is starting to find his groove, Treliving said. The drive that this kid has if you told him to gnaw on barbed wire to get better, he would. That inner drive to compete and get better that is a great quality.

Picturing Rock 'n' Roll with Baron Wolman
Podcast: Download (Duration: 52:32 — 24.1MB)
Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone magazine's first chief photographer, joined All Sides With Ann Fisher to talk about his work covering some of the greatest rock icons of all time, including Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison and many more.
All of those and more – including some never before released photographs from his private collection — are discussed in Wolman's upcoming book: "Every Picture Tells a Story: The Rolling Stone Years."
Although he only worked with Rolling Stone for three years, from its start-up in 1967 until 1970, Wolman said the magazine was groundbreaking for its time and has continued to document the times in which we live, from the 60s to the present.
"(The Rolling Stone) is an important contribution to the social history of our time," he said, adding later that, "Rolling Stone is an important publication, has been from day one. Lifestyle, politics, they were spot on."
Wolman said his work is journalistic rather than portraiture. He did most of his work on location at concerts with manual cameras using black and white film. "You cannot listen to the music. If you stop to listen to the music, you miss the picture," he said.
His love of photography started in childhood. "I use photography to explore life, I was very curious about life from the very first time I picked up a camera," Wolman said.
Wolman, a Bexley native who now makes his home in Santa Fe, later founded a fashion magazine, learned to fly, did aviation photography, and started his own publishing house. He has also done freelance work for the Oakland Raiders and VH1.
Baron Wolman will be speaking May 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center. Tickets are $10 at the door.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
The Jasper County Emergency Services Board has endorsed a consolidation proposal that could result in a single dispatching point for Jasper County's two largest emergency dispatching services.
The proposal was outlined by Joplin police Chief Lane Roberts during a special meeting Wednesday of the county board.
While consolidation would result in significant savings for the two agencies, Roberts said the primary benefit would be better services for residents who need emergency services and the agencies that provide them.
The plan calls for the county board to contract with Joplin for dispatch services. The operation would be at the larger county emergency dispatch center. The two operating systems would be merged, and the Joplin center would be maintained "for true redundancy," Roberts said.
County board members authorized representatives of the board to begin negotiations toward a consolidation proposal. Roberts said he will ask the Joplin City Council to grant city representatives the same authority.
The consolidation would address conflicts between Joplin and the county board that started soon after Jasper County voters in April 1994 approved a one-tenth-cent sales tax to fund a countywide 911 dispatching system. Those long-standing conflicts were cited by Roberts in outlining a proposed contractual structure between the two agencies "to ensure all the stakeholders have protection."
"The idea would be to bring the two (dispatching) centers together and invite the other (cities and emergency service agencies) in," the chief said.
Under the proposed partnership, the city would provide dispatch services and personnel. The county would provide 911 equipment and technology, addressing services for areas not in the city, and director's services.
While Joplin and the county center both serve as primary 911 answering points, the county currently has six different dispatch centers handling calls for 12 police departments and 12 fire departments, plus emergency medical services, Roberts said. The agencies operate on five different computer-aided systems, and while the county and Joplin use the same operating software and back up each other's operations, they maintain totally separate systems. Roberts said at least four different radio systems are used, so many field units cannot communicate without radio relay.
He said the cost of all that is more than $4.5 million per year, so taxpayers are footing the bill for systems that can slow response times and create potentially dangerous situations in which more than one agency is responding to the same call.
April Tarrant, executive director of the county center, said there frequently are instances when dispatchers are responding to the same emergency being reported to separate centers from separate cellphone calls, which now represent about 80 percent of the calls to the centers.
"If we consolidated, they would all be in the same room," she said.
Despite the differing operations, Roberts said Joplin and the county managed to put together a workable system after the May 22, 2011, tornado, "but it took two days."
He credited Tarrant and Sunny Goodwin, manager of the Joplin dispatch center, for those efforts and for working together on other cooperative projects.
"This is a huge step that wouldn't have happened without them," Roberts said. "They have worked together on a lot of issues. Both centers are pursuing law enforcement dispatch accreditation, so their policies mirror. We back each other up, but we're not redundant. So if one goes down, there are still transfers and delays."
Roberts said the merger would save money, provide better service, and respond to calls for consolidation from both the state and federal governments. The concept calls for the operations manager of the center and the approximately 40 employees of both agencies to become Joplin employees. The executive director would continue to be an employee of the county board, which would approve the budget.
Though they had questions, board members were supportive of the proposal.
"This needs to be done, and it's great that Joplin wants to pursue it," said Carl Francis, Webb City's police chief and interim city administrator.
A PLANNING COMMITTEE that recommended a 911 sales tax in Jasper County also recommended a single emergency answering point in Joplin, with calls to be transferred to other agencies. After voters approved the tax, elected board members decided that the center should not be in any jurisdiction, and that it should provide dispatching for small police and fire departments that had call transfer and wanted central dispatching. Joplin was designated as the backup site.

This weekend is your familys chance to be involved in a worldwide citizen-science project, and all you have to do is take your kids outside to look for birds. There will be special events all over the Triangle to help families catch the birding spirit and participate in the annual Great Backyard Bird Count.
The count started in 1998 as a project of the National Audubon Society, and its purpose is to collect data on wild birds. For four days each February, thousands of people in countries all over the globe help create a snapshot of bird populations a sort of bird census.
Last year, people in 111 countries counted more than 33 million birds. They documented nearly 4,300 species, more than a third of the worlds bird species.
To participate, all you have to do is spend at least 15 minutes outside tallying the numbers and types of birds you see sometime between Friday and Monday (Feb. 14-17), then enter your results online at gbbc.birdcount.org.
If you need a little help identifying birds, or just want to turn the count into a fun family outing, check out one of these bird count events at Triangle parks on Saturday:
• Lake Crabtree County Park in Morrisville will hold a group bird walk 8:30-10 a.m. Take binoculars and help the group spot and identify birds. After the walk, stay for the Bird Expo, where there will be bird-themed activities and crafts, as well as lots of information about birds and bird conservation. All activities are free. Call the park for more information at 919-460-2723.
• There is another morning bird walk on the American Tobacco Trail in Apex. The group will meet at 8 a.m. at the New Hill Parking Area (1309 New Hill-Olive Chapel Road) and spend about two hours bird hunting. Register by calling 919-387-4342.
• Harris Lake County Park in New Hill will hold Birdapalooza from 1-4 p.m. Saturday. The free event is for all ages and will include games, crafts, hikes and scavenger hunts. For more information, go to wakegov.com/parks/harrislake or call 919-387-4342.
• Harris Lake will also host a nighttime bird hike 6-8 p.m. Saturday, which will help participants learn to count birds by listening for their distinctive calls. Wear hiking shoes and meet at the parks Loblolly Shelter.
Darwin Day
If you want to go beyond birds, Saturday is also the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences annual Darwin Day. The free event is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There will be dozens of special exhibits and presentations throughout the day to teach about Charles Darwins theories of natural selection, and how they changed the worlds of science, research and education.
Kids can participate in hands-on science experiments, play games and make crafts. Families can also listen to talks from scientists who are applying Darwins theories in their own work, including one who studies penguin evolution and another who studies the ways that baboons communicate.
To add to the fun, a science historian will be roaming the museum dressed as Darwin and sharing his knowledge of this important scientist.
See the schedule of events at naturalsciences.org/programs-events/darwin-day-2014.

Will Your Klout Score Get You Hired? Have You Got Klout? 5 Reasons You Shouldn't Care About Your Klout Score. These are some recent headlines on Forbes.com that might make you wonder if you should be paying attention to this buzz-worthy social media metric.
The business world is now filled with social media management services that try to calculate the social reach of brands and analyze their social sentiment, but Klout is an attempt to apply this kind of ROI thinking to individuals. Whether you are building your personal branding, looking to improve your career prospects or just curious about your place in the world, you may find yourself at Klout's doorstep. Watch out.
The first thing you should know, is that Klout has an emotional journey in store for you that you may or may not want to take. The kernel of it is that, like a Disney movie, they will make you feel bad before they make you feel (if not good, than, at least) better. Here's what you should know before you ring their doorbell.
1. Prepare to Be Manipulated: Klout makes its money by collecting your data that it uses to help advertisers who want to promote their products using your social influence. All of the perks and nudges are designed to groom you for that eventual assignment. And if Klout deems you to be insufficiently influential, then it wants you to be aware of those who you consider influential enough to follow their recommendations.
2. Beware the Klout Drop Kick: Here's the one baked-in design decision that drives a lot of immediate engagement. After you set up an account your are alerted that it will take 24-48 hours for your initial score to be calculated. In the meantime (at least according to the sources I have heard from) Klout sets your score at an ego-annihilating 10 (out of 100)! Be patient. Walk away. Come back in a couple of days. In my case, when I checked back my score had risen to a respectable 50. I felt much better about myself. But the point is, Klout could just say "score pending" until its processed whatever it has to process. You have to assume, however, that any internet company with some number of $ millions behind it looks at their user data and makes their design decisions accordingly. I suspect that if they waited to give you a score until it had been fully tabulated initial user engagement would be significantly less. That first low score is a prod to do whatever necessary to get to some level you're not embarrassed about. Hanging out there in the breeze with a score of 10 is a pretty vulnerable feeling. I cynically wonder if the lag time is really a red herring and Klout could indeed produce an accurate score in minutes but has chosen not to.
3. Decide How Much to Participate: Lo and behold, as soon as you begin to feel bad about your score, Klout gives you lots of ways to earn little +Ks. When you sign up for an account with either your Facebook or Twitter account and they will immediately ask you to "connect" those accounts so that your "actions" can be recorded on Klout. You may think that this is so that you get credit for social media activity on Klout, but what it really means is that it wants you to broadcast your activity on Klout through your social networks. Consider avoiding this. Klout already has access to all of your publicly available content on Twitter or Facebook through the public APIs of those networks. You will be given the opportunity to invite fleets of your "friends" to join Klout as one such "action." Think about how you feel when you receive these kind of bulk requests.
4. Limit Your Check Ins: Once you do have an idea where you stand, avoid the temptation to check often to see how your score is doing. It doesn't change that fast. And each visit is another opportunity to be manipulated. It's not like investing, however, where excess intervention underperforms less frequent assessments—doing the things Klout suggests you do will raise your score. The question is, at what cost of time, attention and annoyance to your social connections. And how high do you really need your score to be? The answer to these questions depends a lot on who you are and what you do.
5. Remember, This is a Consensual illusion: Will a high Klout score help you on a job interview? Depends for which job. "The hiring managers at Klout, for their part, do take prospective employees' Klout scores into account when reviewing applicants," reports Forbes contributor Jeanne Meister. In general, I would say that for jobs in sales or service where a willingness to go the extra mile for customers is an important qualification, employers probably consider Klout a good metric. But for management or positions that require creativity and critical thinking, too high a score could be a red flag. The fact is that your Klout score says a lot about your willingness to play somebody else's game. Given time and attention, anyone can improve their score. But the quantity of your social interactions is a very different matter than the quality of those interactions. As you increase your social velocity you will naturally attract followers and it may take some of them a while to prune you out if you are not contributing worthwhile content to their social feeds. Social media is, I dare say, a bit of a Ponzi scheme in that way. One can maintain a large but churning base of followers without delivering value—stealing from Peter to pay Paul over and over again.
6: The Parody Pressure Valve: If this is all too much to bear, you can always slide over to one of the Klout parody sites. I wrote about Klouchebag last week, but there is also Garth Knutson's hilarious What the Klout blog that lovingly lampoons the whole enterprise. Even if your Klout score is low, you can still be deemed "quite a nice person," on Klouchebag. And seeing how a fanboy like Knutson has gotten pushed over the edge by loving a product that has been in beta for three years, is pretty amusing, as well. As with Facebook's "MCA" gaffe over the weekend, there is no end of humor that will be generated by algorithms that claim to understand unstructured content.
Klout is a really interesting concept that fails in some important ways. Being able to apply a single number to a person is useful in some situations, and being able to identify the topics that a person has some clout with their peers about is even more useful. But the Klout score is still a blunt instrument, and as such, dangerous in the wrong hands. Your mileage may vary, so while Klout is scoring you (which they are whether you participate or not) be sure to keep a tally on what that score is worth to you, and drive accordingly.

To keep up with Quantum of Content, please subscribe to my updates on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
Klout only matters as much as it matters to the person who happens to be interviewing you. Unfortunately, it sounds like that could be quite a bit, depending on who you interview with.
I suspect I have a horribly low Klout score. I won't be bothering to check it or worry about it, because I know it's due to my conscious decision to keep my private life separate from my public one, thus never having signed up for Twitter, added every person I've ever met to my Facebook, etc.
And that's my main issue with Klout. That it attempts to do what's impossible – gauge something intangible (your ability to influence) by measuring items that can be gamed through a conscious decision to do so. Just because I choose not to harness the full spread of social media does not mean I fail to understand how it could be done, or am incapable of actually doing it if I so choose.
The most objective value I could ever come up with from Klout is that it might provide an employer with an expectation that you already have a basis in understanding social media, were that to matter for the position.
Amen! Love everything you said, Anthony. Klout promotes the ambition to want to be seen as a thought leader/influencer. Great piece.
Klout's behind on this – check out SocialLadder – they have an iPhone app that connects social influencers with all kinds of local deals, all based on how influential they are. Even better, users get the deals right inside the app. Exclusive VIP access, free drinks etc. all based on a users' social influence rating.
Of course Klout isn't really designed to help promote the skill set of the regular workaday world, or even of Justin Bieber. But for people like me – a product and review blogger, promoter and, yes, social influencer – my Klout score is of great importance.
This is why I love Klout: I get free stuff and I don't have to write about it or promote it. But if I do receive a product and I do think it's pretty awesome, I'll review it. There have been a handful of campaigns through Klout that I've promoted; Burt's Bees just did an _excellent_ one, and Dick's Sporting Goods did a great one last year. And I've gotten a couple of free meals from Subway out of them. If that's the result of me sharing stuff I genuinely like with the rest of the world, so be it! It's my job!
I think most employers will judge us based on who we are in person and at the interview, while Klout is okay, people can ask for more influence on Klout, so the benefits in an interview, seem to me, to be very little, unless the position is a social media position
I think you don't like klout a lot. Although it is just like any other social media designed to gather and sell as much information as it can by selling "friendship", "short blogging", "emotions" or the attacked "influence" here.
After reading so much about Klout it does amaze me how people will buy into this. It's remarkable how business owners, thinkers, leaders, trainers, and so many more professionals will actually bother about their Klout score. Personally I don't like the idea of pegging my influence level to an algorithm that measures how many times i use my twitter, but I do acknowledge that given some more time, Klout will eventually become an authority in it's own right
Great article. I haven't been on Facebook for several weeks,and my Klout score just dropped 4 points, and now I know why. Everything online is an illusion.
Wow, great article – Scientology uses the same strategy when recruiting the impressionable…
I say if you are not working in fields such as social media, SEO, marketing of any kind, PR, or if you are not a business owner, coach or author or working with the public on a professional basis- then forget about your Klout score. It is not important in that case. You don't even need it if you are not in those fields. However if you happen to fall into any of that, face the fact that Klout IS going to matter whether you like it or not. You can pick apart and tear down Klout all you want. You can question its accuracy, etc. However, it is accurate ENOUGH to indicate how engaging you truly are online with others. It is a good enough measurement tool to show you how well your social media activities are and if others in your networks are responding to what you have to say. And Klout is getting much better with squashing gamers by the way. The fact of the matter is what you do online spills onto your offline world. You can't deny the fact that people are paying attention to it. It is a reality that is not going away sorry to say. Instead of bashing it, why not use it to your advantage?

These were very good-- I'd just make a few changes to make them even better! Add about 3/4 cups extra flour to make sure the dough is "dough-y" enough, and chill for half an hour before trying to shape it. Make sure the coffee is strong so you get the flavor, and I added some ginger to add a kick to it. Also, these cookies spread and puff up, so make sure there's about 2 inches between the long strips on the cookie sheet-- I'd use two separate sheets.
Little Old Lady
These cookies are delicious! Five tips I learned after baking them a few times: 1) Hermits are an antique cookie dating back to colonial times. White flour was not available until the late 1800s, so these taste wonderful w/ the original whole wheat as long as you get fresh flour. Whole wheat flour should not be bitter. If it is, it is rancid and should be replaced w/ a different brand. 2) The problem w/ the sticky texture is caused by the egg, probably a recent addition to the recipe. I made it w/o the egg & the dough was easier to handle, & results superb. 3) Don't mix the soda w/ the coffe. Put it w/ the dry ingredients so it retains its leavening power. 4) A tasty variation is to sub frozen oj concentrate & grated orange zest for the coffee. This version needs less sugar. 5) It can be made as a single 1/3" layer instead of strips, cooked a few minutes more, & sliced while warm, if you'd rather not fiddle w/ the dough. Also I agree w/ reviewers who recommend increasing the spices. These end up the tastiest "healthy" cookie I've ever had.
Much to my father's dismay, our local bakery outlet store (Freihofer's) discontinued making their Hermit Bar Cookies. I've tried several recipes and this comes the closest to the original. When I made them as bars, they never baked to the right consistency, so I tried them as drop cookies and they're perfect. (12 minutes per batch, same temperature - I also chopped the 1 cup raisins for better consistency). This will be a keeper in our family now for generations!

Advanced Fuel Cycle Technologies Hold Promise for Used Fuel Management Program
The resurgence of nuclear energy, coupled with a reassessment of the nation's long-term used fuel management program, has renewed policymaker interest in advanced nuclear fuel-cycle technologies. These technologies, taken together, could reduce the volume and toxicity of the nuclear waste byproducts requiring disposal.
June 2013
The nuclear energy industry supports research, development and demonstration of improved or advanced technologies to close the nuclear fuel cycle, thereby potentially reducing the volume, heat and toxicity of byproducts placed in the repository, recognizing that a geologic repository will be required for all fuel cycles.
• The growing need for low-carbon electricity generation has led to a continued interest in nuclear power and a reassessment of the nation's long-term used fuel management program, including renewed interest in advanced reprocessing and recycling of used nuclear fuel, advanced fuel fabrication, and development of new reactor designs that could further minimize byproducts of the nuclear fuel cycle.
• The federal government and industry should pursue research into advanced recycling and reactor technologies as well as development of existing technologies. However, no advanced technology will preclude the need for a federal geologic repository for the ultimate byproducts of recycling used nuclear fuel.
• The expected growth of nuclear energy around the world is a key driver behind development of advanced fuel-cycle technologies. Any decision to pursue advanced fuel cycles must consider the economic and nonproliferation factors associated with recycling used nuclear fuel, and the United States should endeavor to lead the development of such technologies.
• Recognizing that licensing and constructing a new recycling facility, using available technology, is approximately a 20-year endeavor, the federal government must have a stable public policy supporting recycling that enables companies to make the long-term capital-intensive investments necessary to pursue recycling.
• The Department of Energy (DOE), in conjunction with industry, must develop a coherent technology research and development plan, with defensible milestones, that supports the commercialization and deployment of advanced fuel-cycle technologies.
Nuclear Reprocessing
Nuclear reprocessing is the extraction of various elements—currently plutonium and uranium—from used fuel assemblies. During reprocessing, the used fuel assembly is separated into useable and non-useable material. The non-useable material may be in multiple forms (e.g., high-level and low-level waste) and will have to be properly disposed of. In addition, industrial waste is created.
Nuclear Recycling
Nuclear recycling is the extraction of useable material from used fuel assemblies and the subsequent reuse of that material in reactors. Recycling describes an integrated life-cycle process that results in the production of new reactor fuel from used nuclear fuel. Reprocessing is a stage in this lifecycle.
The United States, primarily for economic reasons, does not currently reprocess or recycle used nuclear fuel. Commercial reactor fuel remains in the reactor for three or four years. Under the current U.S. approach, that fuel then is to be removed for ultimate disposal in a specially designed repository, despite the fact that significant energy remains in the fuel.
Recognizing the nonproliferation ramifications of recycling used nuclear fuel, multiple administrations have either endorsed or discouraged recycling in the United States. Although administration positions have changed, no federal law exists that bans reprocessing or recycling from occurring in the United States.
Recycling of used fuel has the potential to reduce the need for new uranium supply and enrichment services and to enhance the energy and national security of the United States. It also has the potential to provide greater utilization of a geological repository for high-level radioactive waste by reducing the volume, heat and toxicity of byproducts in the repository.
In the United States, reprocessing and recycling should entail the following:
• establishing the policy and regulatory requirements for recycling facilities
• developing advanced used fuel recycling techniques
• deploying new fuel designs in existing reactors
• developing advanced reactors, including fast reactor technologies, to extract additional energy from recycled fuel and further reduce the volume, heat and radiotoxicity of byproducts
• disposal of byproducts in a federal repository.
Advanced fuel-cycle technologies cannot eliminate all of the byproducts in used nuclear fuel. Moreover, the systems eventually developed may not have the capacity to recycle all the commercial used fuel generated. The United States still will need a federal repository for disposal of these byproducts and for any used nuclear fuel that is not reprocessed.
Repository disposal also is needed for the high-level radioactive waste created by the federal government from its defense programs. Most of this material is stored temporarily in Idaho, South Carolina and Washington.
France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Russia operate reprocessing facilities. In France, the United Kingdom and Japan, plutonium (Pu) and uranium (U) from used fuel are or will be recycled into UO2 and MOX (mixed oxides of Pu and U) fuel assemblies. Following use in a light water reactor, the used MOX fuel assemblies are stored with the intention of utilizing the useable material when fast reactors are available. France does not currently operate commercial fast reactors. The deployment of commercial fast reactors could enable France to significantly increase its recycling capability and extract more energy from the recycled material. France is currently developing prototype fast reactors.
Liquid metal cooled and fast reactor technologies also could support government-sponsored nonproliferation efforts by consuming stockpiles of plutonium and material from former nuclear weapons, thus eliminating them as a threat.
Today's reprocessing technology—known as PUREX—makes it possible to recycle and reuse the uranium and plutonium from used nuclear fuel. The remaining waste products are mainly unusable fission products, which are mixed with glass for disposal as high-level radioactive waste in a process known as vitrification.
The uranium and plutonium separated from used reactor fuel by PUREX reprocessing can be recycled as mixed oxide fuel. The PUREX process produces plutonium that is stored under strict security and safeguards as provided in internationally agreed protocols.
Advanced reprocessing systems would not separate plutonium. Instead, they would keep uranium, plutonium and other usable elements together, while separating radioactive byproducts that have no energy value. One such process, called UREX+, extracts the fission products from used fuel, leaving the remaining plutonium mixed with uranium and other elements. These uranium isotopes are extracted with the plutonium and recycled as fuel for advanced reactors. Although proven in laboratories, UREX+ is not yet commercially proven. The French are developing a process called COEX, which extracts uranium and plutonium together. In the United States other processes, such as "pyroprocessing," that use metallurgical technology also are being developed.
