Canine distemper is a contagious disease, most often seen in puppies under six months, that attacks the respiratory system and has a high fatality rate. It's an airborne virus that can also be transmitted through the urine and feces of an infected dog. Because it can be transmitted so easily, dogs are required to have yearly vaccination prior to being boarded or kept with other animals.
Symptoms of distemper include:
If your dog is exhibiting the symptoms of distemper, or to ensure your dog is protected from the virus, visit a veterinarian for treatment or vaccination.

Bask in reflected glory
Next week we'll highlight some of the players to watch this March Madness in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. And we'd like your help finding them! With so many small schools making their way...
Losses by the Atlanta Falcons and Andy Landers's Lady Bulldogs on Sunday left the Georgia faithful in a bad mood, but there is some good news for Bulldog Nation this Monday morning.
Hey! Mark Fox's Hoop Hounds managed to win one in SEC play, as the Georgia Bulldogs outlasted the LSU Tigers, 67-58, to stay out of the league cellar and notch their first conference win. Here's how they did it.
Tonight, the Georgia Bulldogs welcome the Florida Gators to Stegeman Coliseum for an SEC men's basketball game. Join us at Dawg Sports for the game night open comment thread.
The Wyoming Cowboys announced early Monday that Luke Martinez, the team's second leading scorer, has been suspended indefinitely for his role in an off-campus altercation on Dec. 30, 2012 in which the senior broke his hand.
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs are looking for their first SEC win of the 2012-'13 men's basketball season, and they welcome the Mississippi State Bulldogs to Stegeman Coliseum on Saturday afternoon hoping to achieve that goal.
Week 11 marks the second week of Mountain West Conference men's basketball and it's a doozy, with the league's contenders all going head to head both Wednesday and Saturday. MW has the schedule or you as well as our weekly poll.
GoAztecs.com's YouTube page has coverage of the nationally-ranked San Diego St. Aztecs' (No. 16 AP/No. 15 Coaches) weekly press conference, featuring head coach Steve Fisher and players Chase Tapley, DeShawn Stephens and J.J. O'Brien.

BrlSpeak Debian-based Braille-Loopback Mini-Distribution
Brlspeak is a Loopback GNU/Linux Distribution with many applications on board, (no longer UMDOS as by the past, it's now an ext2/ext3 file-system); it aims to be easy to install for sighted impaired DOS/Windows users, but anybody may use it, for example when repartitioning the disk is not permitted/not desired.
When the braille display is enabled under DOS, it's very easy to run the installer to install Brlspeak, or to pre-edit files... All essential Brlspeak parameters are setuped before booting Brlspeak for the first time.
The project is based on a Debian GNU/Linux distribution, while previous versions were based on Slackware's mini-distribution called Zipslack; using Debian GNU/Linux as base, it's easier for the user to install new software, as well as easier for maintenance.
Brlspeak is an interesting tool for educating non-free users and help them discovering the world of free software .
It can also be a rescue distribution when you destroyed yourself your official/standard system and you want to reach some friends or the WWW.

By Noel K. Gallagher email@example.com
Staff Writer
PORTLAND – School officials say the governor was wrong in claiming that military recruiters aren't allowed to wear uniforms when they visit Portland schools.
In this March 2012 file photo, U.S. Army recruiters Sgt. Stephen Wallace (left) and Sfc. Brandon Didier talk with students at the Portland Arts and Technology High School. Gov. Paul LePage's claim that military recruiters aren't allowed to wear their uniforms at Yarmouth High School is untrue, according to the principal of the school.
John Ewing
"Contrary to a claim by Maine Gov. Paul LePage, Portland's four public high schools all allow military recruiters in uniform to speak with students about military careers," said Chief Academic Officer David Galin in a news release Monday.
In his most recent weekend radio address, LePage singled out Portland and Yarmouth high schools, saying they barred uniformed recruiters from campus. Both school districts have now denied that.
Yarmouth High Principal Ted Hall said Friday that recruiters wear uniforms during visits "all the time."
So far, three schools have been singled out by the LePage administration as barring recruiters in uniform. All three have denied it.
In an email to a state legislator on June 6, Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen said a recruiter named Sanford High as "one of the schools" where he was asked to wear civilian clothes. But the superintendent said Sanford has no such policy.
LePage's communications director, Peter Steele, said in an email Monday: "In the past Maine schools have limited access for military recruiters, and some recruiters were told they could not wear uniforms on school property. School officials are free to deny that shameful behavior. But we stand by the information provided to the LePage administration by professional military personnel."
Steele said, "If school officials now claim that they provide military recruiters with the same access that is offered to other college and career recruiters, then we are pleased that Maine students will get the opportunity to explore career options in our nation's military services."
LePage also said in his radio address that seven schools in southern Maine "allow only minimal access of recruiters." Several of those schools have denied that.
The debate over military recruiters has been political since the Legislature rejected L.D. 1503, which would have ensured that "uniformed" military recruiters have the same access to schools that college recruiters have.
Democrats who voted against the bill said it wasn't warranted because there is scant evidence that recruiters lack access or are prevented from wearing uniforms. Several said Republicans used the bill to cast Democrats as anti-military. Republicans, including LePage, have since claimed that Democrats disrespected veterans.
LePage's statements apparently are based on his interpretation of an email to Bowen on May 22 from Sgt. Maj. Richard Hannibal of the Maine Army National Guard.
The email does not say clearly which schools allegedly prohibit uniformed recruiters. Hannibal would not comment Monday. He referred questions to Peter Rogers, spokesman for Maine's Army National Guard and a former communications director for LePage.
Rogers said Hannibal has confirmed everything in his email.
"We're feeling like people are looking at us like we're making this stuff up, and we're not," Rogers said, noting that Hannibal got the information directly from "five or six" recruiters. "We also have the confidence that the information our recruiters have given us is accurate."
When asked which schools barred uniformed recruiters, Rogers said: "There are no schools that we know of that have barred recruiters in uniform."
Rogers said his understanding is that the issue arose from a specific incident in which a recruiter was asked not to wear a uniform while giving a timed multi-aptitude test to potential recruits at a particular school.

I purchased the 8x10 Supreme Felted Dual Surface rug pad and also an 8x10 Durable Hard Surface and Carpet rug pad (which costs a little bit more than the Supreme). The main difference that I have seen was in how they were packaged. The Supreme was sent folded up in a big square, the Durable was sent rolled on a heavy cardboard tube. Both arrived in good condition, and both flattened out equally. I have had them both for about 3 weeks and really can't tell any difference between them except that the felt on the Supreme is perhaps a bit scratchier, and maybe a slight bit thicker than the Durable (which cost more). Save your pennies and get the Supreme, unless you have a desire to have an 8' heavy cardboard tube as well. ;-)
This pad is nice and thick, and it has rubber on one side to grip the floor. No complaints on its function. Oh, but it stinks. After we unwrapped it, I put it outside for the day. When we brought it back in, the smell was still strong enough to make me nauseated. Back outside it went for another day, and still no better. We finally just put it down. Now that the rug is over it, it doesn't smell anymore, but I don't ever want to pick up that rug, because that stench cannot be anything but harmful.
Because of the heavy traffic in my family room, I needed something that would really hold my area rug in place. I have hard wood floors and the area rug was always roaming. It was a little tough to cut, but the results were impressive. The rug has not moved an inch since I put it in place over a month ago. With the extra pieces, I put them under certain areas of my sectional sofa and they have not moved a bit! I was thrilled with the results. The only negative is that is is not as cushiony as regular carpet padding, but carpet padding will not hold the rug in place at all.
iI got this pad to put on top of carpeting with an area rug on this pad. I was having problems with the area rug wriinkling. This pad really fixed the problem. My area rug sits nice and smooth.
This pad is 1/4-inch thick and is everything that the description says it is. I like my knowing that my rug and floor are protected. The lifetime warranty helped me pick this pad over the others. This pad has added comfort to my beautiful, expensive rug. Overstock has always delivered great products and service, and has once again exceeded my expectations.
This is a wonderful plush rug, even without a rug pad. Its colors are a bit muted and will blend in with a variety of other "busy" items in a room. It does shed a bit, just as all wool rugs do, but not excessively. Shipping was speedy. We are very pleased with this purchase and would not hesitate to purchase another rug from Overstock.com!
This is truly one of the best rug pad's I've ever purchased. It's unbelievabley cushiony, and it's got rubber on the bottom so it doesn't move like so many other rug pads.
This pad is heavy! It not only keeps the rug from walking but also gives the best padded feel to the rug. You can put a thinner rug on it and it will feel instantly more expensive.
Makes a huge difference under a rug. Feels so much softer to stand on and the rug doesn't slide around. Hopefully will also protect my hardwood floors but time will tell.
This pad is nice and thick and adds a lot of cushion to my rug. Also it does not slip at all. It's a few inches bigger than the rug I have over it which is supposed to be the same size.

Online banking is preferred by more and more consumers all the time – but as risks increase, customers worry about whether it's really safe to handle their finances online.
stolen in a single case *
"Criminals follow the money"
Online crime is big business - and right now, criminals see huge opportunities in attacking consumers who bank online. There is a sharp increase in attacks using banking trojans - hard-to-notice, seemingly harmless malware that spies on the user. With a banking trojan, an attacker can steal a person's ID, password, and personal information - essentially everything needed to get into the user's account and steal their money.
52% consumers prefer to subscribe to security services through their existing broadband provider rather than another provider. **
Timo Hirvonen, Anti-Malware Analyst, F-Secure Labs
Klas Kindström, Senior Project Manager, F-Secure Development
But bank websites are secure, right?
Your customers might feel safe, assuming that banks have invested heavily in security. And banks have – on their own side. So criminals target ordinary people. Even with proper security software installed, users are still vulnerable to banking-related attacks: they can be tricked into clicking a phishing link, installing a dangerous file, even giving out their passwords over email.
47% of global consumers prefer using the Internet for simple bank transactions. **
This is where Banking Protection steps in – powered by your brand.
Banking Protection works like an armored connection between your customer and their bank. It prevents any other connections that could compromise the user's security while they are banking. Your customer is protected from malware, spyware and phishing – and the only thing they notice is your logo at the top of the browser, reminding them that you've enabled their safe, protected banking session.
90% feel being safe from bad or criminal web sites is important. **
Veli-Jussi Kesti, Senior Manager, F-Secure Development
Mira Sivonen, Senior Business Development Manager, F-Secure
Simple and straightforward – for your environment and your customers
Banking Protection is an add-on service to Safe Anywhere PC, the leading operator-provided internet security suite. If Safe Anywhere PC is already part of your offering, adding Banking Protection to the mix is simple and straightforward.
And for your customers who use Safe Anywhere PC, simply offer them the opportunity to add Banking Protection to their subscription. They won't need to install any additional software or plugins and can start banking safely as soon as they've completed the purchase agreement with you.
Layered protection for 100% safety and privacy
Banking Protection works with the other security layers of Safe Anywhere PC to ensure your total digital safety. With Safe Anywhere PC, virus and spyware protection guard against malware, spam protection blocks phishing emails, and browsing protection detects harmful websites. Banking Protection adds extra reassurance by guarding against attacks from new, unknown trojans that might occur during an open banking session.
Banking Protection blocks all non-secure connections while you are doing online banking.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Two Gwinnett County men were arrested Monday on felony charges stemming from two separate vehicle accidents in which people died.Javier Colin-Cambren, 20, of Norcross, faces a single count of vehicular homicide for allegedly killing his passenger, Gadiel Sanchez, 21, of Doraville, on Jan. 16. Colin-Cambren was allegedly driving a 2000 Ford Ranger without a license when he made an unsafe lane change on an Interstate 85 exit ramp and flipped the vehicle. Police said Sanchez was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. He later died at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. The two-car accident happened the night of Jan. 15 at the intersection of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and the southbound I-85 exit ramp. Colin-Cambron was not injured. The driver of the second vehicle, a 2003 Saturn, also escaped without serious injuries, police said. Colin-Cambron remained in the Gwinnett County Jail on $110,100 bond Tuesday. In a separate case, a Snellville man was also arrested Monday for killing a female passenger during a Jan. 21 crash. Charles Thomas Smith, 54, faces charges of vehicular homicide, DUI and traffic violations stemming from a crash on Green Valley Road in Snellville. Snellville resident Patricia Yvonne Shushtari, 51, died in the crash, according to an arrest warrant. Smith made an unsafe lane change and lost control of the vehicle, which struck a group of trees, the warrants says. He admitted to police he had been drinking but later refused a blood test at an area hospital. Smith remained in jail Tuesday without bond.

(PARIS) Roll Call: Thom Browne, Gareth Pugh, Alexis Bryan, Cathy Horyn, Virginia Smith, Julie Gilhart, Robin Givhan
Chic Report: This season, Rick Owens was in an apocalyptic, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome kind of place, which made for a dark, incredibly avant-garde collection. Some of the pieces were a bit difficult (swirling shearling leggings, anyone?), but surprisingly, the majority of the looks were very wearable--especially the outerwear. We loved the softly draped minks, stark, zippered jackets, sculptural leather coats, the cape-like metallic jacket, and Suvi Koponen's belted fur number--look for this one in the fall wardrobe of many a fashion-forward market editor.

Caution: Consult your diabetes care team before starting a lower-carbohydrate meal plan. Diabetes medications such as insulin or oral drugs that stimulate insulin production (sulfonylureas or meglitinides) will need adjustment to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) when carbohydrate intake is decreased. In addition, meds might need to be decreased, and blood glucose levels need to be checked more often.
The Atkins Nutritional Approach is based on eating foods with the lowest glycemic impact. This can lead to improved blood glucose control, minimizing or eliminating the need for diabetes drugs for type 2s and possibly reducing the insulin dose for type 1s.
All carbohydrate foods raise blood sugar. The glycemic index (GI) represents how high and how fast this occurs with an individual food. Pure sugar, or glucose, raises blood sugar dramatically. So 50 grams of glucose (about 3 tablespoons), which has a designated value of 100, is the standard reference for the GI.
How Do You Ascertain the GI Ranking of a Food?
To ascertain the GI ranking of a food, healthy volunteers consume a measured portion of a carbohydrate food. Their blood glucose is monitored, and the effect is compared to that of sugar or white bread.
For example, a measured portion of potato raises blood glucose 85 percent as much as the standard does, so the potato's GI ranking is 85.
Foods ranked from 0 to 55 on the glycemic index are considered to have a low GI. Those at 56 to 69 are considered to have a medium GI. Those at 70 and above have a high ranking.
The glycemic index is based on portions containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. (Remember that the fiber in food is not digestible.) That may be a normal portion in the case of pasta; however, when it comes to high-fiber foods, it's unrealistic.
For example, you have to eat six cups of carrots to consume 50 grams of carbohydrates. A normal portion of half a cup will actually provoke a much lower glycemic response.
The Glycemic Load
To be more precise, researchers developed the glycemic load (GL), a measure of the GI ranking multiplied by the number of grams of available carbohydrates per serving, which is then divided by 100. (The grams of available carbohydrate generally represent total carbs minus fiber.)
A GL of 10 or below is considered low; 11 to 19, medium; and 20 or more, high.
It is important to understand both the GI and the GL numbers, because research has shown that a high-glycemic diet is associated with higher blood glucose levels and an increased risk for heart disease.
The late Robert Atkins, MD, developed an easier-to-use tool that takes into account both the GI and GL, sorting foods into low, medium and high Atkins Glycemic Ranking (AGR). These three tiers make it easier to choose more healthful carbohydrate foods (See below). In general, low AGR foods contain the most fiber and can be eaten more frequently. Portion size and the number of grams of carbs must still be taken into consideration.
Not all low AGR foods are appropriate for the weight-loss phases of the Atkins diet. In addition, the amount of fat, protein and fiber in the meal can moderate the glycemic response of a single food.
A comprehensive list of foods and their AGRs can be found in "Atkins Diabetes Revolution" (William Morrow, 2004).

It's Easy Being Green
I know you have an old computer monitor lying around, or an Ikea coffee table you're sick of, or an old VHS collection that's gathering dust and making you feel old. Instead of turning to your friend Craig and his fabulous list, try out the recently launched Remarkd -- It's like craigslist or e-bay... with warm fuzzies.
On Remarkd you post things for sale, and then you donate a portion to the cause of your choice -- more specifically, US!
What a bright idea!
And here's another way to be a do-gooder, while we're at it -- there's a new magazine on the stands, and it's Positively Green. It has helpful features on how to eco-fy every aspect of your life. And the best part? With every subscription they donate $2 to the charity of your choice (again, *coughOceanacough*)
So spend a day getting rid of your old stuff, then sit back and relax with your new favorite mag...

The 11th month, the 11th day and the 11th hour, a time known as Veterans Day is being observed today by many veterans groups, the ones who believe this tradition should be carried on despite being a Sunday.
As Gary DeNoble, Adena American Legion Post 525 commander, said, "We want to observe it on the designated month, day and hour that was set at the end of World War I."
The Adena Legion will hold a brief program today at the Legion home starting at 10:30 a.m., with the solemn observance to be held at 11 a.m.

HONORED — The Jefferson County Veterans Association conducted a flag-raising ceremony at Friendship Memorial Museum on the first day of the Jefferson County Fair in August. They raised the flag at the gazebo opening ceremonies as well. Participating were, front, from left, Jack Campbell, Ron Brandfass, Jay Kolenc, Commander Bill Smythe, Don Richards, Paul Greene and Lamont McCoy; and back, Walter Jancura.

They also will attend a program Monday. This is hosted by students at Adena Elementary School who will be geared up to honor the soldiers who did so much for their country during World War I and have continued through all the wars to date.
Tiny Head Start youth came to the Legion home on Thursday to present a program for the veterans, their way of saying "Thank you for what you have done."
In April, the Adena Lions Club presented a musical production saluting veterans. Each song had a link to our men in uniform. The Adena American Legion was honored in one song, and they all came marching up to the stage - men and women from many wars and eras. It was impressive.
Darrin Young sang a tribute to two young ladies who were part of the U.S. Army, Nicole Hopkins McClure, who was injured in service, and Laura Wentworth.
I received an e-mail concerning a controversial Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial Cross, commemorating selfless sacrifice by veterans that was taken down 13 years ago. This was after going through tumultuous litigation. It was removed and put in a box due to much controversy.
It will be raised again on Sunrise Rock in the Mojave Desert, in its original location, which is about two hours from Los Angles, and rededicated during an official Nov. 11 ceremony.
It was erected by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in 1934, honoring World War I veterans, and stood quietly for 67 years on the Mojave Desert land. It is the only World War I memorial designated by Congress as a national memorial.
An order ending the American Civil Liberty Union's lawsuit to have it removed paved the way for it to be transferred to the VFW organization so they could restore the memorial and return it to its original site.
This reminds me of visiting Arlington National Cemetery many years ago and seeing all the crosses, where each stood for a fallen soldier. This is America's hallowed burial ground for those who made our country free, and it was so very breathtaking to me.
The Jefferson County Veterans Association is constructing a Veterans Memorial Wall at the Fort Friendship Memorial Museum in Friendship Park. A brick to honor all veterans who have honorably served our great country can be purchased for $50 by sending a check to Tony Phillippi, 1341 county Road 15, Rayland, OH 43943.
The brick will accommodate 15 spaces per line on a three-line limit. Please signify if the honoree is or was a POW, MIA or KIA as well.
They have enough "purchased" bricks to fill the wall presently in place. Now wings are needed on the sides of the wall to include other names. It is a worthwhile and touching memorial to a relative or friend.
The county will hold its Veterans Day ceremonies at 3 p.m. today at Fort Friendship, with Charles Strizak, past district 10 commander, in charge of the program.
Part of the program will be dedicated to the memorial wall, where some of the bricks will be in place. This is part of the Veterans Day concept of honoring both those who served and returned and those who served but never came back.
The gigantic flag that is seen from a far distance will be raised in the ceremony, along with the flag stations of each branch of the military.
The Scio Museum has a section honoring veterans from Harrison County. Dee Ann Horstman is curator of the Main Street place of history. There is a khaki, wool uniform that looks as if it would be very uncomfortable to wear. But that was the least of the worries of soldiers in battle during World War II.
There are photos of men from the Harrison County area in their military uniforms looking so handsome and so young. Some never came back.
The Unionport Veterans Day program will be held at 7 p.m. today at the Community Center. Kathy Andersen will be the speaker, followed by refreshments. This would be a nice conclusion to a day created to remember all those who served and those who died for our country.
The Brilliant American Legion Post 573 has had and will continue to have a busy Veterans Day weekend. On Thursday, they visited the Buckeye Local Junior High School for a program. On Friday, they were at the Buckeye Local school for the high school students, presenting American Government Awards to deserving youth.
On Monday, they will be presenting an open house program at the Buckeye North Elementary School at 7 p.m. This is open to students, parents and area residents.
In conclusion, I just want to pay tribute to our friend of about 40 years, Bob Rish, a veteran of World War II. He told many stories of being stationed overseas and battles, and I wish I could remember more of them now. He came back to the area to do much service for our Smithfield community.
He was active in the Smithfield United Methodist Church; a member of the Smithfield American Legion Post 396; Smithfield Little League, as the league president, coach and manager; and as an officer and chairman of the Apple Festival.
Bob made the Great American Bed Race, held since the start of the festival, a big success.
It is ironic that when he became very ill two years ago, the race had to be canceled, and it was canceled this year due to a lack of interest after he died on May 22.
He was the one who pushed it, even paying the entry fee for young people to participate so it could be an interesting contest. I stood at the end of the finish line with him, timing beds as they rolled past the mark to decide the ending, and manned a stop watch for more than 20 years. He wanted to be sure each race was timed just right and that everyone had a chance to win. He made it exciting.
Being a veteran had nothing to do with this but I do know that it made him a wonderful person. You are truly missed, Bob.

I've been lurking this board for a few weeks now, I myself have bought an Iphone on Ebay. (I live in Holland)
Is the AT&T-simcard empty when it's not yet activated via iTunes? Does the iPhone write information onto the card when it's activating via iTunes/AT&T?
Because if it is, isn't it possible let the iPhone read out an existing simcard from another carrier/country, and later on write that information on the AT&T sim? (toghether with some hack/code to make it work?)
I'm just throwing something out there, keep up the good work though! :)

Bill will boost offshore wind development to generate much needed clean, renewable energy, create new 'green' jobs, and promote long-term price stability
ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 3, 2011) – Governor Martin O'Malley today appeared before the House of Delegates' Economic Matters Committee to testify in support of the Maryland Offshore Wind Energy Act of 2011, which will require that public utilities leverage Maryland's outstanding offshore wind resources by entering into long-term purchase agreements with wind power generation facilities off of the Mid-Atlantic coast. The Governor was joined by the Secretary of Business and Economic Development, Secretary of Natural Resources and the Director of the Maryland Energy Administration, underscoring the bill's importance in leveraging Maryland's natural assets to promote 'green' job creation and generate much needed clean, renewable energy.
"In this competitive new economy, the states that win will be those that succeed in leveraging innovation into job creation and economic growth," said Governor O'Malley. "In Maryland, our emerging green sector is a critically important part of our Innovation Economy, and therefore our ability to create jobs and compete globally. This bill would move us forward towards a prosperous, thriving Maryland powered by sustainable, clean energy."
An analysis conducted at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the US Department of Energy estimates that offshore wind will create more than twenty direct jobs per annual megawatt, including jobs in manufacturing, engineering, and skilled labor. A 500MW wind generation facility in the waters off of the Delmarva coast could generate as many as 2,000 manufacturing and construction jobs during the five-year development period, with an additional 400 permanent jobs once the turbines are spinning.
Due to its ideal location in the Mid-Atlantic, as well as the deep-water port and manufacturing infrastructure in Baltimore, Maryland is well positioned to be a leader not only in offshore wind energy generation, but also in ongoing construction and maintenance.
In addition to creating new 'green' jobs, harnessing the potential of offshore wind power will generate much needed clean, renewable energy, and promote long-term price stability while helping to ensure that Maryland meets its Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of generating 20% of its energy from renewable resources by 2022.
The bill seeks to diversify the terms by which energy is purchased in Maryland by requiring long-term power-purchase agreements with offshore wind generation facilities, which would be located more than 10 miles from Maryland's Atlantic coast. These purchase agreements allow Maryland to lock-in rates over the long-term, providing price stability and predictability in what is otherwise a potentially volatile commodity market.
The bill would require that public utilities purchase between 400-600 megawatts (MW) of power from offshore wind generation facilities in federal waters adjacent to the PJM Control Area for a period of twenty or more years. For residential ratepayer, the PSC currently directs the utilities to procure approximately 25% of their power at a time, in two year contracts, making ratepayers vulnerable to periodic increases in the market price of energy–particularly electricity based on fossil fuel resources. 500 MW of offshore wind energy is enough to power more than half of the homes in the City of Baltimore, or 79% of the homes on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
"Off-shore wind has the potential to be a big "win" for our State: a win for jobs, a win for consumers, a win for business, and a win for our energy future—an energy future which is cleaner, greener, more sustainable, and more affordable," said Governor O'Malley.

Al's friend Rachel invited him to go to the lake for the day with her family. Rachel thought Al was fun to be around — plus he was cute. Rachel really hoped he'd say yes.
Al turned Rachel down. He liked Rachel, too, but was self-conscious about taking off his T-shirt. He worried that her family and others at the lake would see what he saw when he looked in the mirror — a scrawny excuse for a man. Al hadn't gone to the pool in more than a year because he was so self-conscious about his appearance.
Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But the reality is that a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. It's a fact — some guys care just as much as girls do about their appearance.
You may hear a lot about being a tough guy, but how often do you hear that being a guy is tough? Guys might think that they shouldn't worry about how they look, but body image can be a real problem for them. Unlike girls, guys are less likely to talk to friends and relatives about their bodies and how they're developing. Without support from friends and family, they may develop a negative self-image.
The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
Body image is a person's opinions, thoughts, and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. Having a positive body image means feeling pretty satisfied with the way you look, appreciating your body for its capabilities and accepting its imperfections.
Body image is part of someone's total self-image. So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself. If he gets too focused on not liking the way he looks, a guy's self-esteem can take a hit and his confidence can slide. (The same thing can happen to girls, too.)
Although body image is just one part of our self-image, during the teen years, and especially during puberty, it can be easy for a guy's whole self-image to be based on how his body looks. That's because our bodies are changing so much during this time that they can become the main focus of our attention.
A change in your body can be tough to deal with emotionally — mainly because, well, your body is yours and you have become used to it.
Some guys don't feel comfortable in their changing bodies and can feel as if they don't know who they are anymore. Being the only guy whose voice is changing or who's growing body hair (or the only guy who isn't) can also make some guys feel self-conscious for a while.
Some guys go into puberty not feeling too satisfied with their body or appearance to begin with. They may have wrestled with body image even before puberty started (for example, battles with weight or dissatisfaction with height). For them, puberty may add to their insecurities.
It can be tough to balance what you expect to happen to your body with what actually does happen. Lots of guys can have high expectations for puberty, thinking they'll develop quickly or in a certain way.
The best way to approach your own growth and development is to not assume you'll be a certain way. Look at everyone in your family — uncles, grandfathers, and even female relatives — to get an idea of the kinds of options your genes may have in store for you.
Not everyone's body changes at the same time or even at the same pace. It can be tough if all of your friends have already matured physically and are taller and more muscular. Most guys eventually catch up in terms of growth, although some will always be taller or more muscular than others — it's in their genes.
It's natural to observe friends and classmates and notice the different ways they're growing and developing. Guys often compare themselves with other guys in certain settings, and one of the most common is the locker room. Whether at a local gym or getting ready for a game at school, time in the locker room can be daunting for any guy.
Try to keep in mind in these situations that you aren't alone if you feel you don't "measure up." Many guys feel exactly the same way about their own bodies — even those whose physiques you envy. Just knowing that almost everyone else will go through the same thing can make all the difference.
You could try talking to a trusted male adult — maybe a coach, a doctor, a teacher, or your dad. Chances are they went through similar experiences and had some of the same feelings and apprehensions when their bodies were changing.
Guys put enough pressure on themselves, but what about the pressure society puts on them to be perfect?
It used to be that only girls felt the pressure of picture-perfect images, but these days the media emphasis on men's looks creates a sense of pressure for guys, too. And sometimes (actually, many times) that "as-advertised" body is just not attainable. The men you see in those pictures may not even be real. Magazines and ad agencies often alter photographs of models, either by airbrushing the facial and muscular features, or by putting a good-looking face on someone else's buff body.
So in the face of all the pressure society places on guys — and guys place on themselves — what can you do to fuel a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
While it's important to have a positive body image, getting too focused on body image and appearance can cause a guy to overlook the other positive parts of himself. If you're like most guys who take care of their bodies and wear clothes that look good, you probably look great to others. You just might not be aware of that if you're too busy being self-critical.

Just in time for August's oppressive heat, NPR's Susan Russo encourages us to have our limoncello and eat it too in an article published yesterday. Or, more specifically, to cook with our favorite lemony Italian liqueur.
As Russo notes, the drink is "traditionally served as a digestive, or after-dinner drink that aids in digestion." But, she challenges the reader, "...don't just drink it. Eat it. Limoncello can be a wonderful ingredient in cooking and baking."
After discussing the drink's history and sharing her family's long-treasured techniques for making limoncello, Russo provides six recipes for cooking with the liqueur. There's Creamy Limoncello, a version of the liqueur made with milk and vanilla extract, and Limoncello-Basil Fruit Cups, a zesty riff on traditional fruit salad.
Like dessert? You're in luck. Russo provides recipes for individual Limoncello Custards with Limoncello-Berry Sauce, a Citrus-Polenta Cake with Limoncello Icing that can also double as a breakfast pastry, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with Berries, Limoncello and Almond Brittle -- the ultimate summer treat for cooling off on a hot day -- and Blueberry-Limoncello Zabaglione, a tart take on everyone's favorite custard/pudding hybrid.
Russo's extensive array of recipes make this article a must-read for foodies wary of heating up their kitchens as summer's temperatures peak. Enjoy making these recipes -- and if you do, write to let us know how they turned out!
