Investigators say they have found a missing 2-year-old girl and her mother. Police said the pair was found in Cheyenne overnight. They were unable to give 11 News an update on the little girl's condition or how the two were located.
The mother, Misty Lea Sticker-Campos, 34, does not have legal custody of two-year-old Angeleana Tyler.
There were also concerns because Angeleana has Epilepsy and did not have her medication when the two were reported missing.

- Split decision in Colorado court case involving photo of gay couple
- Apr 3:
- Gay couple wants to add two gun groups to lawsuit over political mailer using their photo
- Jan 25:
- Gun groups' records sought as part of gay couple's Colorado lawsuit
- Sep 27:
- N.J. gay couple sues, condemns use of their picture in Colorado ads
- Jun 6:
- Ugly campaign fliers hit in northwestern Colorado state Senate race
E-mails contained in new court documents contradict claims by Colorado's best known gun-rights advocate and suggest he and staff from two gun groups were engaged in a political attack campaign that is now the subject of a federal lawsuit.
Dudley Brown,executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and an executive with the National Association for Gun Rights, said the work on the campaign pieces was strictly volunteer.
"Both groups ONLY work on gun issues, though all of our staff care about other issues and are free (heck, encouraged) to volunteer their time on the political causes they care about," Brown said in an e-mail Thursday to The Denver Post.
But e-mails that were sought in the lawsuit and recently made public show that Brown's communication in 2012 to the Virginia firm that paid for and lent its name to the mailers came from both of Brown's e-mail accounts with the gun groups.
In his missives, Brown outlined the battle over a civil- unions bill underway in the legislature and proposed sending campaign mailers featuring a photograph of two men kissing.
The gay couple featured in the literature is suing the Virginia firm in U.S. District Court in Denver for using their copyrighted engagement picture.
"My staff and I would do all the work, but we'd want (the firm) to sign off, put its name on the dotted line and pay for the mailings," Brown wrote.
Asked Friday about the e-mails, Brown responded that he doesn't have a private e-mail address and uses work e-mails for personal business. He also said use of his word "staff" means his staffers who were volunteering "of their own free will."
Brown — once described by an National Rifle Association member as "the Al Sharpton of gun politics" — has been a visible fixture at the Capitol this year trying to stop Democratic gun-control bills, but over the years he also has tangled with fellow Republicans on social issues, too.
"Dudley Brown is a modern-day charlatan who operates in the shadows and portrays himself as a supposed 'Christian' but lies, cheats and steals, using the people who are naive enough to believe and financially support him," said former Rep. B.J. Nikkel, a Loveland Republican. "He and his 'gang' operate as political terrorists, and I hope this federal lawsuit finally exposes him for the dishonest person that he is."
Brown jokingly asked, "Who?" when asked about Nikkel's comments, then added via e-mail, "Oh. Forgot about her. As did, I think, everyone involved in politics (about halfway through her term)."
But Nikkel, who left office in January, was clearly on Brown's mind, according to one 2012 e-mail dated May 7, the day before the House was to take up a bill allowing gay couples to form civil unions. Republicans refused to call up the bill, which died during a wild night on the House floor.
In the communication, Brown called Nikkel a "turncoat," and said her "yes" vote on the bill in a House committee had kept civil unions alive. He also bragged how he had "staff members" and friends perform a "lit drop" at her church the previous day, using fliers to urge parishoners to call her.
In that same e-mail, he included attachments of the kissing-gays mailers.
Neither mentioned guns.
One targeted Sen. Jean White, R-Hayden, who had voted for the civil-unions bill. The other blistered a Republican House candidate, Jeff Hare, running for an open Weld County seat, saying "he's joining Denver's liberal attack on marriage." Both lost their primary races.
The e-mails were turned over by Public Advocate of the United States, the firm that sent the mailers. The conservative group supports legislation to define marriage as only between a man and a woman.
Based on information in the e-mails, attorneys for the couple and their photographer have asked for an extension to complete their investigation.

What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets...
A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance - including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury.
A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures.
Bourne may be a prince of London's illicit underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness - a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them... even her heart.
©2012 Sarah Trabucci (P)2012 HarperCollinsPublishers
I am the definition of a contradiction. I am a tomboy but just can't seem to get enough of romance books!
"light and entertaining"
I bought this book primarily because of the narrator...Rosalyn Landor.What surprised me was the author,i found this a light read. Easy to follow. It was funny at times and the characters were great. I can't wait for the next book on Cross. I hope Landor will pick up from where she left of!
Totally addicted to Audible.
"My first by this author"
And I loved it. I love Audible sales because I can listen to authors I have not experienced before. This was a delightful book by one of my favorite narrators!
"Enjoyable Romance"
I always love Rosalyn Landor's narrations. This book was a fun romance with plucky heroine and hero who thinks he's not worthy. The hero and heroine were childhood friends. He loses his fortune gambling, she's a spinster, he's bent on revenge, they marry so he can regain part of his inheritance, they have misunderstandings, get to know each other again, and they have a happily ever after. Enjoyable listen for commute.
"An Expected Outcome...."
I love this author and wish that her "Love by Numbers" trilogy was available on audio. A Rogue by Any Other Name was a solid, well done historical romance, which delivered exactly what is expected: sighs and a lovely HEA. A good listen. Having said that, I think the epilogue was better than the rest of the book. I've pre-ordered the next book in the series and think (based on the epilogue alone) that it will be even better than Rogue. It's an automatic purchase if it comes out as an audiobook.
Devotee of multi-tasking, keen gardener and cross-stitcher. Now able to do both AND listen to stories at the same time. Bliss.
"First in The First Rule of Scoundrels series"
Not a story to tax your brain too much, but it was enjoyable despite moments when I wanted to give the hero a good kick for being idiotic. I'll be keen to see the next story in this series, but it looks like we have quite a wait as 'One Good Earl Deserves a Lover' isn't due to be published until early in 2013. As always, Rosalyn Landor is awesome narrating.
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
"Worth the credit."
Typical 'rogue type' book - come on - you know what you're getting with these type of books. Made better by the good narration of Rosalyn Landor.
"Disappointing Historical Romance"
The story in this book was just average and a bit boring at times. Boune lost his family estate in a poker game, and he blamed everyone but himsel for acting a fool. Years later, Penelope's father won the estate from the man who took it from Bourne, and he made the estate part of Penelope's dowery to encourage a man to marry her (she was older and turning into a "spinster"). Bourne marries Penelope to get the estate back through marriage. Bourne and Penelope were childhood friends, but you would never know it, because Bourne was such a jerk to Penelope. While the story had passion, both Bourne and Penelope had unrealistic expectations and acted a bit immature. Unless you love this author, I'd pass. On the positive side, the narrator was great.
My favorite way to get my reading fix when I am on the move
"Predictable with a Twist"
This is a really good book. I love this author and this narrator. The Rogue is redeemed and the lady gets her dream husband. It's predictable but the twist is worth the read/listen.
The most memorable moment is when Penelope and Michael meet in the dark the first time after nine years but there were several other moments that are just as enjoyable. Though I can't recall each moment. I know this was a sweet and romantic story that made me laugh.
Landor is an excellent narrator. You always feel like you are there.
Yes!! Because it was such a touching and heart-warming love story.
I loved Michael. He was such a wonderful character.
She did a wonderful job.
This was my first book by Sarah MacLean but it will not be my last. I've already read the first chapter of her next book and it was just hysterical. I loved Michael and Penelope. Loved Cross, Chase and Temple. Loved conceited, self-centered Olivia and science-nerd Pippa. Loved Tommy and hated his father. Loved the romance, and the sex was perfect. Yeah, I guess I really loved this book.
"A nice listen, although not earth-shattering!"
"A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance - including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury."
While this book was certainly a nice book to listen and I can definitely say I enjoyed it, I nevertheless feel that it did not quite match up to my expectations. I think perhaps I missed some of the laugh-out-loud humour of Sarah MacLean's other books and found at times that Michael's constant aloofness and refusal to be happy dragged on a little, while Penelope's continued infatuation after not seeing him for years seemed a little unbelievable. There were however many good points to the book, and I thought that Penelope's childhood letters to Michael were a lovely touch, and helped to lighten the sometimes heavy mood. Overall I would say it is a good listen, although perhaps not as good as some of her other books.

- For nightclubs, see Category:Clubs.
The Club is a two-door car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Club is a two-door hatchback that resembles a Volkswagen Polo with the front of a 1987-1989 Volkswagen Golf GTI. In comparison to similar hatchbacks, the Club is actually one of the largest of its class, comparable in size to the Mesa. The car's name presumably being a play on that of its real-life counterpart (golf club).
Due to its design, the car's performance is mixed. While possessing good top speed and acceleration as well as stable cornering as a result of its front wheel drive (at the expense of torque), the suspension of the Club is stiff, making the vehicle unsuitable for high speed offroading as its higher center of gravity as a result of its large but light construction makes the car unstable and susceptible to rollovers. Its relatively high ground clearance, however, makes the Club more suitable for off-road driving than similar vehicles such as the Flash.
Like the Volkswagen Golf, the Club is FWD.
The Club can only be modified at TransFender, encompassing:
- Color
- Wheels
- Spoiler
- Side Skirts
- Hood
- Roof
- Foglights
- Exhausts
- Nitro (All)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
The Club is most common in Las Venturas, although Clubs may occasionally appear in more affluent portions of Los Santos and San Fierro.
- One can be found outside of Millie's House, but the player will have to get 50% percent with her before she will allow Carl to use it.
- Common in Prickle Pine, Old Venturas Strip and The Strip.
- Common in the west of Los Santos i.e. Vinewood, Temple, Market, etc.
- Common in some parts of San Fierro.
- One of the Carl Johnson's girlfriends, Millie Perkins, owns a pink Club with the license plate reading SPANK, which is a reference to her love of S&M. Strangely, only the front license plate of her club reads "SPANK"; the rear is a random plate like usual.
- Also, the license plate may be a reference to the drug SPANK.
- The default radio station in the Club is SF-UR.
- The Club spawns around when the cheat "faster cars" is activated.
- The Club is possibly a hatchback variation of the Vincent
- The Club is probably manufactured by Vulcar as it is similar to a Volkswagen model.

Delayed coking
Photograph of a 4-drum delayed coking unit in a Benica petroleum refinery in California. Source: Valero Energy Corporation
Delayed coking is one of the chemical engineering unit processes used in many petroleum refineries. The main objective of the delayed coking unit is to convert low value residual products to lighter products of higher value and to produce a coke product.
In brief, the process heats the residual oil from the vacuum distillation unit in a petroleum refinery to its thermal cracking temperature in the heat transfer tubes of a furnace. This partially vaporizes the residual oil and initiates cracking of the long chain hydrocarbon molecules of the residual oil into hydrocarbon gases, coker naphtha, coker gas oil and petroleum coke. The heater effluent discharges into very large vertical vessels (called "coke drums") where the cracking reactions continue to completion, forming solid petroleum coke which deposits out and accumulates in the coke drums from which the product coke is subsequently removed.[1][2][3]
The adjacent photograph depicts a delayed coking unit with four coke drums (two pairs of two drums). However, larger units may have as many as eight drums (four pairs of two drums), each of which may have diameters of up to ten meters and overall heights of up to 43 meters.[4]
The yield of coke from the delayed coking process ranges from about 18 to 30 percent by weight of the feedstock residual oil, depending the composition of the feedstock and the operating variables. Many refineries world-wide produce as much as 2000 to 3000 tons per day of petroleum coke and some produce even more.[5] Globally, the total amount petroleum coke produced in 2010 was about 123,000,000 metric tons (123 Mt) and is expected to increase at an annual rate of about 5.6 percent.[6]
Petroleum coke may also be produced in an oil refinery unit process that utilizes fluidized bed technology.[7] However, there are very few such facilities in operation and the amount of petroleum coke produced via such technology is virtually insignificant.
Another type of coke, commonly referred to as "metallurgical coke", is the solid carbonaceous material derived from the destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Volatile constituents of the coal are driven off by baking in an airless oven at temperatures as high as about 1,200 degrees Celsius (about 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit). Metallurgical coke is used as fuel and as a reducing agent in the iron and steel manufacturing industries. The worldwide consumption of metallurgical coke was about 450,000,000 metric tons (450 Mt) in in 2010.[8]
Flow diagram and process description
The schematic process flow diagram and description in this section are based on a typical delayed coking unit with two coke drums. However, as mentioned above, larger units may have as many as four pairs of drums (eight drums in total) as well as a furnace for each pair of coke drums.
Typical schematic flow diagram
Process description
Residual oil from the vacuum distillation unit (sometimes including high-boiling oils from other sources within the refinery) is pumped into the bottom of the distillation column called the main fractionator. From there it is pumped, along with some injected steam, into the fuel-fired furnace and heated to its thermal cracking temperature of about 480 °C (900 °F). Thermal cracking begins in the pipe between the furnace and the coke drums, and finishes in the coke drum that is on-stream. The injected steam helps to minimize the deposition of coke within the furnace tubes.
Pumping the incoming residual oil into the bottom of the main fractionator, rather than directly into the furnace, preheats the residual oil by having it contact the hot vapors in the bottom of the fractionator. At the same time, some of the hot vapors condense into a high-boiling liquid which recycles back into the furnace along with the hot residual oil.
As cracking takes place in the drum, gas oil and lighter components are generated as a vapor phase and separate from the liquid and solids. The drum effluent is vapor (except for any liquid or solids entrainment) and is directed to main fractionator where it is separated into the desired boiling point fractions.
The solid coke, formed in the on-stream coke drum as the cracking reaction continues to completion, is deposited and remains in the coke drum in a porous structure that allows flow through the pores. Depending upon the overall coke drum cycle being used, a coke drum may fill in 16 to 24 hours.
After the drum is full of the solidified coke, the hot mixture from the furnace is switched to the second drum. While the second drum is filling, the full drum is steamed out to reduce the hydrocarbon content of the petroleum coke, and then quenched with water to cool it. The top and bottom heads of the full coke drum are removed, and the solid petroleum coke is then cut from the coke drum with a high pressure water nozzle, where it falls into a pit, pad, or sluiceway for reclamation to storage.
Typical 24-hour coke drum cycle
There are many coke drum cycles, varying from 12 to 24 hours. However, the one just below is typical of a 24-hour cycle:[1][9]
Petroleum coke specifications
The adjacent table lists the specifications for raw petroleum coke produced in a delayed coker and the corresponding specification after the raw coke has been calcined in a rotary kiln at 1200 to 1400 °C (2200 to 2550 °F). The raw coke is classified as sponge coke and often referred to as green coke[10][11][12].
Depending on the feedstock composition and certain operating variables, other forms of coke may be produced such as shot coke and needle coke. However, sponge coke is the form most typically formed and this article does not discuss the other forms.
Uses of petroleum coke
The product coke from a delayed coker has many commercial uses and applications.[13][14][15] The largest use is as a fuel.
The uses for green coke are:
- As fuel for space-heaters, large industrial steam generators, fluidized bed steam generators, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) units and cement kilns.
- In silicon carbide foundries.
- For producing blast furnace coke.
The uses for calcined coke are:
- As anodes in the production of aluminum.
- In the production of titanium dioxide.
- As a carbon raiser in cast iron and steel manufacture.
- For producing graphite electrodes and other graphite products such as graphite brushes used in electrical equipment.
- In carbon structural materials.
Petroleum coke was first made in the 1860's in the early oil refineries in Pennsylvania which boiled oil in small, iron distillation stills to recover kerosene, a much needed lamp oil. The stills were heated by wood or coal fires built underneath them, which over-heated and coked the oil near the bottom of the stills. After the distillation was completed, the still was allowed to cool and workmen could then dig out the coke and tar.[15]
In 1913, William Merriam Burton, working as a chemist for the Standard Oil of Indiana refinery at Whiting, Indiana, was granted a patent[16] for the Burton thermal cracking process that he had developed. He was later to become the president of Standard Oil of Indiana before he retired.
In 1929, based on the Burton thermal cracking process, Standard Oil of Indiana built the first delayed coker. It required very arduous manual decoking.[15]
In the late 1930's, Shell Oil developed hydraulic decoking using high-pressure water at their refinery in Wood River, Illinois. That made it possible, by having two coke drums, for delayed decoking to become a semi-continuous process.[15]
From 1955 onwards, the growth in the use of delayed coking increased. As of January 2003, there were 133 petroleum refineries worldwide producing 172,000 tons per day of petroleum coke.[17] Included in those worldwide data, about 59 coking units were operating in the United States and producing 114,000 short tons per day of coke.[17]
Other processes for producing petroleum coke
There are other petroleum refining processes for producing petroleum coke, namely the Fluid Coking and Flexicoking processes,[18][19] both of which were developed and are licensed by Exxon Mobil Research and Engineering. The first commercial unit went into operation in 1955. However, neither of those two process achieved widespread, global usage.
There are other similar coking processes, but they do not produce petroleum coke. For example, the Lurgi-VZK Flash Coker which produces coke by the pyrolysis of biomass.[20]
As noted above, another form of coke (commonly referred to as metallurgical coke) is a solid carbonaceous residue derived from low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal from which the volatile constituents have been driven off by baking in an oven without oxygen at temperatures as high as 1,200 °C.

Solar power
Residential rooftop installation of solar panels. US EPA
Solar power is any process that generates electricity from the sun's radiation. There are two chief technologies for such electrical production: (a) photovoltaics (PV), where solar panels convert sunlight directly to electrical current; and (b) concentrating solar rays to boil water, which is used to provide power. In spite of the enthusiasm for solar plants in a few western countries, the technology requires significant subsidies to compete with fossil fuels, hydroelectric and nuclear power alternatives; in point of fact solar power supplied a mere .0002 of the world power supply as recently as 2008. Although solar is classified as a renewable energy source, there are some significant environmental impacts, including the generation of toxic cadmium residues and the significant destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats. Strides are being made in terms of improvement in solar panel efficiency and manufacturing capacity, such that solar power could make a measurable worldwide contribution to the world's power supply by the 2020 to 2030 time frame. An even greater potential exists in the integrated building systems field, where individual solar units are installed directly within a given structure; in this case, there is much less impact to habitat loss and the transmission costs of electricity are greatly reduced.
Process technology
Photovoltaic technology utilizes impingement of solar photons upon intricately constructed semiconductor layers to produce electrical current. Individual silicon wafers are doped with impurities, typically boron and phosphorus, to produce a p-n semiconductor junction,[1] topped with glazing and bottomed with a conductor (usually aluminum) to collect the electrical current. The resulting collection of wafers is termed a solar panel. The collection efficiency of present panels is only about 15 to 30 percent of the incident solar radiation, which daytime insolation is typically about 240 watts per meter in geographically favorable world regions.
Alternatively, systems of lenses and mirrors can be used to focus the sun's rays into an intense beam capable of boiling water; such concentrating solar power systems employ the boiling water to run a conventional steam power plant. The most common geometries applied are the parabolic trough, the linear fresnel reflector, the Stirling dish and the solar power tower.
Critical resources
Solar power is the chief type of electrical power production that consumes large quantities of scarce minerals, other than grid and transmission needs common to all sources. The silicon wafer manufacturing process requires a number of specialized metals that are consumed in non-trivial quantities, some of which are difficult or expensive to reclaim in a recycling process. The chief materials that are presently deemed scarce in the Earth's crust are Tellurium, Indium, Ruthenium and Germanium. Gallium and Cadmium are also considered relatively small in reserves, but not as critical as the first four.[2] Silver is also consumed in large quantites by photovoltaic cell production, but its reserves are also more abundant than the most critical metals. Cumulatively, the availability of these metals poses an obstacle to dynamic growth of solar power, even if some advances in material substitution and recycling are made. Alternatively, the increasing scarcity of these materials produced by the solar industry itself will drive up prices for these substances and hence increase the pricing of solar power.
Environmental Impacts
There are a number of significant adverse environmental impacts from the manufacture and disposal of solar power systems, particularly in the case of photovoltaic systems. With regard to air quality there are a number of pollutants entering the atmosphere as a result to the mining and manufacturing processes leading to the production of solar panels.[3] Substantial carbon monoxide is released into the atmosphere from the Siemens process in producing metallurgical grade silicon. The toxic heavy metal cadmium is also emitted in considerable quanities in the manufacturing of photovoltaic wafers; in fact, emissions of cadmium are similar to those produced by coal fired power plants when compared on a energy production output basis of the two technologies. There are additional cadmium emissions in the disposal phase in both air emissions and soil contamination pathways. Certain quantities of hydrochloric acid air emissions arise during the silicon production process, but these are expected to be reduced in the future with an increased mix of solar grade silicon.
With regard to greenhouse gas production, there is considerable impact based upon carbon dioxide emissions from the manufacturing process of the silicon wafers, aluminum backing and other frame components. Production of metallurgical grade silicon relies on carbothermal reduction of quartz that fires a coal bed to 1200 degrees Celsius; this process necessarily releases considerable carbon dioxide. Overall, greenhouse gas emissions are more favorable overall for solar compared to fossil fuel plants, but more adverse than nuclear, wind or tidal energy generation.
For large array systems the impacts of habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation is considerable, especially since these systems are often constructed on sensitive desert soils such as the Mojave Desert installations. The impacts of building integrated technologies are much less severe, since they can rely upon existing or planned structures for their installation, rather than the taking of pristine areas. Thus, in regard to habitat destruction, the impacts of large array solar systems are more severe than either fossil fuel plants or nuclear plants.
Systems analysis
Several broad elements of solar power applications should be addressed to provide an adequate overview of this topic: operational power versus capacity; useful life; and energy payback. In terms of capacity available, solar installations typically yield approximately twenty percent of capacity, chiefly due to the diurnal solar cycle, but aggravated by cloud cover and seasonal inefficiency. The more sophisticated systems have solar panel tracking capability which allows optimization of the panel angle by time of day, but this feature does not dramatically improve performance. This realm of generation relative to installed capacity places solar power considerably below the 80 to 95 percent range common in fossil fuel and nuclear plants, and even below the approximate 40 percent ratio found in wind generation.
The useful life of most advanced solar power generation systems is approximately 23 years, which is an optimistic level considering that the fundamental technology is improving rapidly, so that present plants will be effectively outdated in another decade. Useful lives of fossil fuel and nuclear plants are typically 40 to 60 years in comparison. The energy payback time for a solar plant is approximately three years, but this measure is properly measured as a mix of current energy products, implying that the first three years of operation are essentially a break even period for fossil and nuclear fuel saved. The economic payback time for solar installations also considers labor and other investment costs of constructing a new solar plant, so that the total economic payback time for new solar installations is approximately eight to twelve years; moreover, this payback can be enhanced by a number of governmental incentive programs designed to stimulate building integrated solar installations at the property owner level.
The geography of installations of major solar power plants has been driven by latitude, national wealth and intensity of societal commitment. Latitudes as close to the equator as 35 degrees are generally the most favorable. Spain is an example where all of the precursors form a confluence and that country has been a leader in solar development; however, recent trends, moderated by the inherent need to continue subsidies, have marked a rapid decline in that country. Other historically important players include Portugal and the southwestern USA. Noteworthy among more northern latitudes are Canada and Germany, whose societal commitments have overcome an inherent latitude inefficiency.
A great untapped potential lies in China, the nation that is the world leader in greenhouse gas production. The inherent geography, size and sunlight days in China give it the possibility of generating large amounts of solar power; in fact, China ranked ninth among world nations in production of solar cells, almost all of which are exported. However, the installed solar capacity that China does have is revealing, since it is a nation strongly attuned to economic payback: The main installation of solar power in China is individual building rooftop thermal units.[4] China's future use of large scale solar not only would reduce its production of black carbon and other greenhouse gases, but would capitalize on the enormous percentage of its land area that receives more than 2200 hours per annum of sunlight and its unusually large land area (such as the North China Plain) which has been ecologically destroyed by overgrazing, overdrafting of groundwater or other intensive agricultural practices.

On view
After his return from military service in 1917, Georges Braque devised his own freer, more decorative application of the Cubist idiom. Here the red polka dots, playful wood graining and musical notes scratched into the surface move Braque from the intellectual vision of his earlier paintings to a more tactile, sensuous experience. Appropriately, this delightful composition was formerly in the collection of dancer and choreographer LĂ©onide Massine.

Natural gas: Local leaks impact global climate
EDF and Google Earth Outreach use new approach to pinpoint climate pollution
Natural gas heats our homes and cooks our dinner. But when natural gas—mostly methane—leaks into the air, it's a big problem for the climate. So EDF and Google Earth Outreach teamed up to build a faster, cheaper way to find and assess leaks under our streets and sidewalks. We tested it as part of a pilot mapping program, and here's what we found.

News and Recent Developments
- August 2010: Developing World Solar has partnered with The Public Health Brigade to donate a solar stove to a school in Los Pajarillos, Honduras. The stove will be used to serve food to the school children, and community leader Rigoberto says he will be holding a workshop soon to train the mothers of the children how to cook on the new solar technology.
The History of Solar Cooking in Honduras
Another of the PROCESO organizations is located in Honduras. The organization in Honduras is called Centro de Hornos Solares; a woman named Martha Corina Carranza is the main contact for the group. The group operates somewhat in similar manner to that described above for Guatemala and the other Central American nations. The group is an independent organization, with loose links to CASEP and its founder, Bill Lankford.
In 1993, a regional conference on solar cooking was held in San Pedra Sula in June, bringing together many of the promoters from the region. Solar Cookers International (SCI) was instrumental in this event, providing some small start-up money for the conference, and playing a role in the meetings themselves. The basic idea was the encouragement of networking among the solar promoters of the region, an objective that clearly was achieved. M.A. Flores and R. Calderon, two faculty members from the Universidad Nacional Automoma, Department of Physics, Energy Section, have long been active promoters and were instrumental in organizing a major Latin American Solar Conference in 2001.
[Information for this section was taken originally from State of the Art of Solar Cooking by Dr. Barbara Knudson]
Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations
More than half the population of Honduras still cooks over wood fires and the government spends more than 40% of its revenues to subsidize the import of petroleum for bottled gas and transport fuel. - Source: Patricia McArdle

NEW YORK (AP) -- Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel says he's "repudiating" a Hungarian government award he received in 2004 because top officials in Budapest attended a ceremony for a Nazi sympathizer.
That memorial rite weeks ago was offensive to the 83-year-old Holocaust survivor, whose parents were sent to their deaths by wartime Hungarian officials.
In New York, Wiesel told The Associated Press in an interview that it was just "too close to home."
He wrote a letter this month to the speaker of the Hungarian parliament, Laszlo Kover, rejecting the award granted in 2004 by Hungary's president.
Wiesel says it's "outrageous" the parliament speaker participated in the May 27 ceremony honoring wartime parliament member Jozsef Nyiro. Wiesel calls him "a fascist ideologue."

33 U.S. Code § 921 - Review of compensation orders
prev | next
(a) Effectiveness and finality of orders
A compensation order shall become effective when filed in the office of the deputy commissioner as provided in section 919 of this title, and, unless proceedings for the suspension or setting aside of such order are instituted as provided in subsection (b) of this section, shall become final at the expiration of the thirtieth day thereafter.
(b) Benefits Review Board; establishment; members; chairman; quorum; voting; questions reviewable; record; conclusiveness of findings; stay of payments; remand
(1) There is hereby established a Benefits Review Board which shall be composed of five members appointed by the Secretary from among individuals who are especially qualified to serve on such Board. The Secretary shall designate one of the members of the Board to serve as chairman. The Chairman shall have the authority, as delegated by the Secretary, to exercise all administrative functions necessary to operate the Board.
(2) For the purpose of carrying out its functions under this chapter, three members of the Board shall constitute a quorum and official action can be taken only on the affirmative vote of at least three members.
(3) The Board shall be authorized to hear and determine appeals raising a substantial question of law or fact taken by any party in interest from decisions with respect to claims of employees under this chapter and the extensions thereof. The Board's orders shall be based upon the hearing record. The findings of fact in the decision under review by the Board shall be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence in the record considered as a whole. The payment of the amounts required by an award shall not be stayed pending final decision in any such proceeding unless ordered by the Board. No stay shall be issued unless irreparable injury would otherwise ensue to the employer or carrier.
(4) The Board may, on its own motion or at the request of the Secretary, remand a case to the administrative law judge for further appropriate action. The consent of the parties in interest shall not be a prerequisite to a remand by the Board.
(5) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) through (4), upon application of the Chairman of the Board, the Secretary may designate up to four Department of Labor administrative law judges to serve on the Board temporarily, for not more than one year. The Board is authorized to delegate to panels of three members any or all of the powers which the Board may exercise. Each such panel shall have no more than one temporary member. Two members shall constitute a quorum of a panel. Official adjudicative action may be taken only on the affirmative vote of at least two members of a panel. Any party aggrieved by a decision of a panel of the Board may, within thirty days after the date of entry of the decision, petition the entire permanent Board for review of the panel's decision. Upon affirmative vote of the majority of the permanent members of the Board, the petition shall be granted. The Board shall amend its Rules of Practice to conform with this paragraph. Temporary members, while serving as members of the Board, shall be compensated at the same rate of compensation as regular members.
(c) Court of appeals; jurisdiction; persons entitled to review; petition; record; determination and enforcement; service of process; stay of payments
Any person adversely affected or aggrieved by a final order of the Board may obtain a review of that order in the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which the injury occurred, by filing in such court within sixty days following the issuance of such Board order a written petition praying that the order be modified or set aside. A copy of such petition shall be forthwith transmitted by the clerk of the court, to the Board, and to the other parties, and thereupon the Board shall file in the court the record in the proceedings as provided in section 2112 of title 28. Upon such filing, the court shall have jurisdiction of the proceeding and shall have the power to give a decree affirming, modifying, or setting aside, in whole or in part, the order of the Board and enforcing same to the extent that such order is affirmed or modified. The orders, writs, and processes of the court in such proceedings may run, be served, and be returnable anywhere in the United States. The payment of the amounts required by an award shall not be stayed pending final decision in any such proceeding unless ordered by the court. No stay shall be issued unless irreparable injury would otherwise ensue to the employer or carrier. The order of the court allowing any stay shall contain a specific finding, based upon evidence submitted to the court and identified by reference thereto, that irreparable damage would result to the employer, and specifying the nature of the damage.
(d) District court; jurisdiction; enforcement of orders; application of beneficiaries of awards or deputy commissioner; process for compliance with orders
If any employer or his officers or agents fails to comply with a compensation order making an award, that has become final, any beneficiary of such award or the deputy commissioner making the order, may apply for the enforcement of the order to the Federal district court for the judicial district in which the injury occurred (or to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia if the injury occurred in the District). If the court determines that the order was made and served in accordance with law, and that such employer or his officers or agents have failed to comply therewith, the court shall enforce obedience to the order by writ of injunction or by other proper process, mandatory or otherwise, to enjoin upon such person and his officers and agents compliance with the order.
(e) Institution of proceedings for suspension, setting aside, or enforcement of compensation orders
Proceedings for suspending, setting aside, or enforcing a compensation order, whether rejecting a claim or making an award, shall not be instituted otherwise than as provided in this section and section 918 of this title.

Ordered two for my two brothers. I understand I got what I paid. Those are two pieces of stones one can pick up anywhere. One came with a large V shape chip on one side. Did not want to sound so blunt, but, I was extremely disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very nice setting!
By Jane the shopper!
from Bowser, B.C.
The setting and the cord for this necklace were very nice and tastefully done. However, the stone that I received was dull and uninteresting, and looked like a beach pebble. I'm sure that if I had tried ordering the item again, I would have received a boulder opal with some flash and colour, but it was a Christmas present so I didn't have time to do that. So sadly, I returned it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By MARY ELLEN
from BURLINGTON
About 20 yrs ago in Florida, I picked up 2 boulder opal rings and a pair of boulder opal earrings. I constantly got compliments and questions about these pieces. I have been looking for boulder opal ever since, with no luck. I picked this piece up for myself. The first thing I did was take it off the rubber cord and put it on a heavy silver chain. The bail is big enough to take a large chain as long as the lobster claw or ring is not too big. The bail has a lovely design to it that becomes feminine with a silver or gold chain but remains masculine with the rubber cord. The boulder opal I got has a shimmer of blue & white in it. You always have to remember that with this type of stone the colour varies wildly so you could get a great stone and you could get one that you don't like. I would recommend this for either a male or a female of any age. It is amazing how just changing the rubber cord to a metal chain changes the entire look.

Looks great. Have some rep!
Orem is a little town about 45 minutes from where I live. My, the landscape has changed! I really like your choice of colors, textures and font. My only complaint is that the land seems to be floating above the lovely parchment background. Beautiful work, though!
It is not down in any map; true places never are. (Herman Melville)
A good map is both a useful tool and a magic carpet to far away places." (unknown)
StillCypher I would agree that Orem has changed a lot haha, no lake, no mountains on the east or south side, no Provo and I wish theres was an ocean nearby freak! Hmmm oh well! But great map, clean and clear and easy to look at. Or at least for me it is. It at first looked way cluttered but once I really looked at it, it looked great, well done!

Looks fantastic. I love this style.
Why is the "Sobil" label grey and the others are black?
Looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the well worn feel of it.
Thank you all!
I wasn't aware that there is a real town called Orem. Funny. Maybe ths is a multidimensional clone! ;-)
@ Katto: the Sobil label was changed to black in the final version, I obviously uploaded the previous version.
This style has come together very nicely. I like the black lines and restrained colouring. A couple of the borders are a little rough - missing the coastlines or overlapping in places - which doesn't quite fit with the clean lines in the rest of the piece. Also, the town symbols are obviously resized for diffferent locations. That might be better done with a different icon for a smaller settlement. Other than that - great map. I really like the cartouche as well - that's just lovely.
A really nice map. Repped.
It gives me the feeling of a blood-stained world due to the coloring which I like.

MDC offers cable restraint trapping certification class
NEOSHO, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will hold a cable restraint trapping certification class from noon to 4 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery.
When used correctly, cable restraint devices can hold animals alive and allow trappers to release non-target animals unharmed. The devices can be used to take furbearers during the state's furbearer trapping season (Nov. 15 - Jan. 31) by trappers who have successfully completed a cable-restraint training course, validated by a certified instructor.
This course will cover the basics of safely and legally utilizing cable restraints to capture furbearers. Regulations, proper set location and cable restraint construction will be discussed.
Interested individuals are asked to pre-register by calling MDC Wildlife Management Biologist Frank Loncarich at 417-452-3879.
