Up to 750,000 people who are expected to descend upon Toronto, Canada, for Pope John Paul II visit during the week-long celebration of World Youth Day.
The pontiff is expected to arrive in Canada on Tuesday. Although the pope is suffering from Parkinson's disease and other ailments, he is expected to lead a lengthy vigil and mass at the end of the week. The 82-year-old pontiff started the Catholic Youth Jamboree in Rome in 1985.
This trip will be the pontiff's 97th international tour of his papacy.

Roxbury June 4th 1854
My very dear Father,
I have so much to tell you
On Tuesday last I went to the Asylum, and
very old-fashioned. The bills I sent to Mr
Lincoln, and he has sent me the money
for them. William Bradley is much
better, but will remain at the Asylum
through the summer. I have seen him
twice. Mr Appleton's son Frank who went
to Somerville a short time since, died
last week at the Asylum.
William called upon Mr Curtis and
The Unitarian festival took place last Tuesday,
leave their house. Aunt Emily is visiting
Mrs Wheelwright now, but is going to Vermont
this week.
The last week will long be remembered as
Court House were lined with military, and
State street during all that time was im-
passable, so that business there was necessa-
rily suspended. In the centre of a hollow
square formed of volunteers, about 200, all
the worst blacklegs and pimps of the city, walked
the slave, a good looking fellow. Each one
of these men had a drawn sword, or knife.
Several companies of soldiers marched
before and behind, and the Artillery had
a six pound cannon all loaded.
This procession was witnessed by thousands
of spectators, and was every where greeted with
hisses and shouts. Many of the buildings
were draped with black, and the Common-
wealth building put out a black coffin
with the word Liberty upon it. An
effort was made during the week to purchase
the slave, and the money 1200 dolls raised,
but when it was offered Capt Suttle refused
it. One of the police officers Mr J K Hayes
resigned his office, on receiving orders to be
one of that procession. Much blame is put
upon the Mayor for blockading the streets,
and putting the City under military law.
I see that five of the Aldermen have pub-
lished a letter saying that they did
not advise, but on the contrary discouraged
it. But Mr Otis thinks that unless all
that precaution had been taken, the
have been rescued. I do not know the
time when there has been so much ex-
citement, almost all are unanimous in
feelings of indignation, and mortification,
and humiliation. It is a very hard strug-
gle to keep faith with those, who have just
broken faith with us. I suppose the South
will consider it a great victory. Some
of the abolitionists were on the watch, all
the time to get hold of Capt Suttle and
his friend, and tar and feather them,
but they were too shrewd for them.
Theodore Parker of course preached a made some very
severe remarks last Sunday, and was
to preach today on the subject. He last
Sunday denounced Judge Loring, and
wound up his remarks, by charging him
with the murder of the police man, and
the risk of the lives of the twelve men, who
were arrested as ringleaders in the riot.
Today Dr Putnam gave us a some
remarks on the subject, and spoke most
eloquently. He said it was the darkest
week in our history, and we needed
more than ever the Sunday's rest and
quiet. He said that now is no time,
while there are so many revengeful and
excited feelings in the breast, to view the
matter in its proper light, and decide
prayed most earnestly, that we might
be strengthened for the duties or trials
which are before us. He also prayed
that our rulers might repent of their
sins, and have a change of heart.
Mr P then said he did not dare to
trust himself to preach on the subject,
and could not write on any other the past week so
he made some very fine remarks upon
the Sabbath rest and influence.
One of the lessons of today was, that we
must remember that when our earthly
rulers prove faithless, we have an Eternal
one who never faileth, and many other
similar appropriate remarks.

Can (should) a city build a smart grid?
Boulder, among others, ponders the choice
Over the weekend, the Boulder Daily Camera carried essays by five of its 11-member editorial board on "Boulder's Energy Future."
Why does this matter to you?
Because the discussion in Boulder—and that city's choices—reflect the choices faced by many municipalities that seek to move more aggressively toward a smarter grid than their large, regional, investor-owned utility (IOU) can allow. At least that is how many cities see it.
This possible destiny is called "municipalization" and you'll recall that the citizens of dozens upon dozens of towns and cities in Pacific Gas & Electric's service territory in California insisted last year at the ballot box that this option remain open to them.
So, if you're a large investor-owned utility serving multiple towns and cities, the discussion in Boulder is relevant to the very survival of your business model. (Otherwise, PG&E would not have spent $46 million last year on a campaign to prevent defections and, thus, lost customers.) If you're a municipality that doesn't own and run its own utilities, this discussion is relevant because municipalization in general and a smarter grid in particular isn't simple, easy or cheap.
Boulder, of course, is a particularly interesting case. Xcel Energy attempted to establish the benefits of a smart grid in a multi-year experiment there (SmartGridCity) that ran up huge cost overruns. Data collection from the system continues and the jury is still out on whether the "smart" technologies employed there will yield substantial value. (In time I think they will, but the hype led to heightened expectations and many Boulder residents expected quicker results. And, unfortunately, Xcel overreached on cost recovery for its mistakes.)
(See "SmartGridCity Cost Cap Revisited" for our latest, with links to past articles.)
The Boulder City Council last year voted to not renew Xcel's municipal franchise, deciding instead to explore greater autonomy (that is, municipalization) as a possibly more direct path to fulfilling the community's desire to integrate more renewable energy, increase energy efficiency and control its own destiny.
Forthwith, here are excerpts from the essays by the Boulder Daily Camera's editorial board, plus my own quick take on their collective stance.
"Recent polling showing citizen 'uncertainty' concerning whether to establish a municipal energy utility and toss Xcel should surprise no one," wrote board member Ed Byrne. "It's complicated. Buying Xcel's wires, pipes and infrastructure will be no mean feat. I don't expect Xcel to roll over and play dead. They've invested a lot in Boulder over the years ... A great day for lawyers is not necessarily good news for taxpayers.
"What if we spent city dollars [on city-wide energy efficiency] instead of paying off Xcel? Buying [energy] efficiency seems to be the wiser long-term investment."
Editorial board member Anne Butterfield disagreed.
"Boulder should pursue municipalization because delivery of electricity is by nature a monopoly and, to this American's thinking, the only ethical way to allow a monopoly is to make it as low cost and publicly accountable as possible," she wrote. "It must belong to the people so they can exert influence on the rates and energy mix ... by electing local decision makers ... None of that can be done with an investor-owned utility, which by definition is obligated first to its shareholders. [Creating] a 'muni' ... can allow Boulder to reach its goals of stable rates, reliable service, increasingly clean energy and local economic benefits through energy generation."
Where Butterfield focused on self-destiny, fellow board member Spense Havlick suggested that municipalization presents a more palatable business model, though questions remain.
"Boulder's franchise with Xcel expired Aug. 30, 2010," Havlick wrote. "It was a good decision [to ratify by ballot] because voters will now have an opportunity to choose among several options for electricity ... Boulder's water utility is managed well, it uses fair pricing to conserve water and it managers are not overpaid.
"My trust in Xcel has evaporated," Havlick continued. "In 2009 their CEO received compensation of $11.3 million. [However], city officials need to show voters how a local electric utility will reduce costs by increasing our renewable energy supplies. How much potential do we have to replace coal with more hydro, solar, methane and energy efficiency?"
Editorial board member Judy Amabile favored further exploration of the implications of municipalization, a notion she first resisted.
"When Boulder first decided to forego renewing the franchise agreement with Xcel Energy and explore the option of forming a municipal utility I was skeptical," Amabile wrote. "Running a utility is complicated, delivering power for a reasonable price is difficult, the legal and regulatory issues are vast and the cost of getting it wrong is huge.
"Other cities like Longmont [Colo.] and Fort Collins [Colo.] have successful municipal utilities. The municipal utility option deserves to be explored further. Xcel needs to know that we will have clean energy options in Boulder. If they can't provide them, we won't grant them the franchise."
Editorial board member Marc Raizman brought perspective to the issue, while acknowledging the city's constraints.
"Boulder is not alone in wishing to control its source of electrical power," Raizman wrote. "Berkeley, Calif., Madison, Wis., Portland, Ore., Massena and Schenectady, N.Y. have retained consultants to examine the same question. Of this country's 3,600 electric power systems, 2,000 are municipally owned. However, these produce but a small share of the nation's needs. Half of the municipal systems buy their power from larger utilities.
"Municipal utilities, [however], favor a diversified power mix as they buy power in the wholesale market. [And] they must meet public accountability standards, hold open meetings and budget hearings and have competitive bidding ... Their operations must be transparent."
My quick take: Boulder's municipalization studies will reveal high costs and complexities to achieving energy autonomy. Achieving that autonomy will force some difficult decisions, which include a substantial role for fossil fuel generation in "the mix." Much of the reasoning of the essayists here reflects intense mistrust of their incumbent provider, but whether that stems from Xcel's long-term handling of its franchise, SmartGridCity's missteps or both is hard to say.
The lessons for cities exploring municipalization and for large IOUs striving to prevent balkanization of their service territories may have a lot to learn from both of my observations. Both want to achieve efficiencies with smart technology and practices.
For me, three questions loom: Who wins? At what cost? And, what happens to grid modernization in the process?
Phil Carson
Intelligent Utility Daily
Municipalization No Panacea
Boulder has a number of examples it can look to as it ponders its choices. Forming its own utility will not be easy or cheap, and while some munis are well run (SMUD), others are hobbled by local politics(LADWP).
I'm not sure the decision for Boulder or Xcel is as simple as stay or leave. Xcel should be thinking about how to satisfy a group of customers and stop thinking every solution has to be one-size-fits-all. Boulder needs to clearly understand and articulate what it wants, which is going to be a tough proposition in a town where everyone likely has strong and at least somewhat informed opinions. If Boulder residents want more renewable energy, there ought to be a way for Xcel to provide it (financially, of course, because there's no way to tag electrons). If Boulder residents want more control over how and when they use energy, there are apps and solutions for that if Xcel is willing to be a little creative in its thinking.
Local control is a different animal. There's nothing objective about it, and perhaps nothing rational about it. Local control may be an emotional response to a perception that Xcel has a cavalier attitude toward Boulder and its residents. There's no rule that says public accountability has to lead to happy customers, and utilities that are customer-owned have had their share of financial scandals, power procurement disasters and problematic managements.
Who wins and who loses depends on what's at stake. Boulder residents are unlikely to win in the sense that they can materially reduce their utility costs unless they can buy wholesale power at a lower price than Xcel can produce it (a problem Marin County faces), expecially if renewable energy becomes a larger part of the mix. Xcel doesn't necessarily win by keeping Boulder in the fold if it means continual friction and dissatisfaction. If Boulder does break away, it should do so with the understanding that it is trading one set of problems it knows and understands for another set it currently does not.

Joseph Smith: Prophet, Revelator, Human
As Mormons celebrate the bicentennial of their church's founder, a new biography explores his achievements--and shortcomings.
When Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints--commonly known as the Mormons--in 1830, there were few signs that this group of six people would grow into an international religious movement that today claims 11 million members and is the fourth-largest denomination in the U.S. Dec. 23 marks 200 years since Smith's birth in Sharon, Vt., and his spiritual heirs have been commemorating his bicentennial throughout this year. Among the events marking the anniversary was the publication of a new scholarly biography, "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling," by Richard Lyman Bushman, a professor emeritus at Columbia University and a practicing Mormon. Bushman spoke with Beliefnet about his book and about the man who founded the Mormon Church.
Can you explain your book's subhead, "Rough Stone Rolling"?
These are words Joseph Smith used to describe himself, and then Brigham Young repeated them. I was drawn to them because I think they capture the incongruity of his inadequate preparation for any kind of leadership role and the rough style of personality and method that continue to the end of his life. And I think it points out the incongruities of a person with so little background who achieved so much.
How did someone with those incongruities create such a lasting institution?
It's the great puzzle of his life. Those who study prophetic figures in history--American as well as ancient history--point out the immense energy that floods into a person who comes to believe that God is speaking through them and that they are chosen instruments for some divine purpose. That confidence of Joseph Smith gave him all sorts of powers he might otherwise not have commanded. It overcame the intimidation he might have felt because of his lack of education and social standing. He just boldly went forward with these extravagant plans for a church and a city of Zion and a temple, and I think that sprang from his confidence that God was with him.
He also had a knack for speaking to the deep religious issues of his time--one of these being a hunger to return of biblical powers. This is a Bible-blazing people, and it's quite obvious that all the gifts that are promised in the New Testament and the tradition of direct revelation had petered out by their time, and there were a lot of people who wanted these returned. And Joseph Smith gave them what they were looking for: a prophet speaking for God.

Pollination in angiosperms and gymnosperms is the process that transfers pollen grains, which contain the male gametes (sperm) to where the female gamete(s) are contained within the carpel;[1] in gymnosperms the pollen is directly applied to the ovule itself. The receptive part of the carpel is called a stigma in the flowers of angiosperms. The receptive part of the gymnosperm ovule is called the micropyle.
The study of pollination brings together many disciplines, such as botany, horticulture, entomology, and ecology. The pollination process as an interaction between flower and vector was first addressed in the 18th century by Christian Konrad Sprengel.
Pollination is a necessary step in the sexual reproduction of flowering plants, resulting in the production of offspring that are genetically diverse. It is important in horticulture and agriculture, because fruiting is dependent on fertilisation, which is the end result of pollination.
Pollinators are responsible for assisting over 80% of the world's flowering plants. Without them, humans and wildlife would not have much to eat or look at. Animals that assist plants in their reproduction as pollinators include species of ants, bats, bees, beetles, birds, butterflies, flies, moths, wasps, as well as other unusual animals. Wind and water also play a role in the pollination of many plants.
Abiotic pollination refers to situations where pollination is mediated without the involvement of other organisms; these abiotic factors that achieve pollination include wind and gravity. Only 10% of flowering plants are pollinated without animal assistance.[2] The most common form, anemophily, is pollination by wind. This form of pollination is predominant in grasses, most conifers, and many deciduous trees. Hydrophily is pollination by water and occurs in aquatic plants which release their pollen directly into the surrounding water. About 80% of all plant pollination is biotic. Of the 20% of abiotically pollinated species, 98% is by wind and 2% by water.
Biotic pollination is the more common process of pollination which requires biotic pollinators: organisms that carry or move the pollen grains from the anther to the receptive part of the carpel or pistil. This is '''biotic pollination'''. The various flower traits (and combinations thereof) that differentially attract one type of pollinator or another are known as pollination syndromes.
There are roughly 200,000 varieties of animal pollinators in the wild, most of which are insects.[2] '''Entomophily''', pollination by insects, often occurs on plants that have developed colored petals and a strong scent to attract insects such as, bees, wasps and occasionally ants (Hymenoptera), beetles (Coleoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and flies (Diptera). In '''Zoophily''', pollination is conducted by vertebrates such as birds and bats, particularly, hummingbirds, sunbirds, spiderhunters, honeyeaters, and fruit Bats. Plants adapted to using bats or moths as pollinators typically have white petals and a strong scent, while plants that use birds as pollinators tend to develop red petals and rarely develop a scent (few birds have a sense of smell).
Pollination also requires consideration of pollenizers. The terms "pollinator" and "pollenizer" are often confused: a pollinator is the agent that moves the pollen, whether it be bees, flies, bats, moths, or birds; a pollenizer is the plant that serves as the pollen source for other plants. Some plants are self-fertile or self-compatible and can pollinate themselves (e.g., they act as their own pollenizer). Other plants have chemical or physical barriers to self-pollination and need to be cross-pollinated: with these self-infertile plants, not only pollinators must be considered but pollenizers as well. In pollination management, an efficient pollenizer is a plant that provides compatible, viable and plentiful pollen and blooms at the same time as the plant that is to be pollinated.
- Pollination can be cross-pollination with a pollinator and an external pollenizer, self-pollenization with a pollinator, or self-pollination without any pollinator:
Cross-pollination (syngamy): pollen is delivered to a flower of a different plant. Plants adapted to outcross or cross-pollinise have taller stamens than carpels to better spread pollen to other flowers.
- Self-pollenization (autogamy): pollen moves to the female part of the same flower, or to another flower on the same individual plant. This is sometimes referred to as self-pollination, but this is not synonymous with autogamy. Clarity requires that the term "self-pollination" be restricted to those plants that accomplish pollination without an external pollinator (example: the stamens actually grow into contact with the pistil to transfer the pollen). Most peach varieties are autogamous, but not truly self-pollinated, as it is generally an insect pollinator that moves the pollen from anther to stigma. Plants adapted to self-fertilize have similar stamen and carpel length.
- Cleistogamy:. is self-pollination that occurs before the flower opens. The pollen is released from the anther within the flower or the pollen on the anther grows a tube down the style to the ovules. It is a type of sexual breeding, in contrast to asexual systems such as apomixis. Some cleistogamous flowers never open, in contrast to chasmogamous flowers that open and are then pollinated. Cleistogamous flowers by necessity are self-compatible or self-fertile plants.[3] Many plants are self-incompatible, and these two conditions are end points on a continuum.
Hybridization is effective pollination between flowers of different species of the same genus, or even between flowers of different genera (as in the case of several orchids).
Peaches are considered self-fertile because a commercial crop can be produced without cross-pollination, though cross-pollination usually gives a better crop. Apples are considered self-incompatible, because a commercial crop must be cross-pollinated. Remember that most fruits are grafted clones, genetically identical. An orchard block of apples of one variety is in effect all one plant. Growers now consider this a mistake. One means of correcting this mistake is to graft a limb of an appropriate pollenizer (generally a variety of crabapple) every six trees or so.
Evolution of Plant/Pollinator Interactions
Pollination syndromes are flower traits that attract pollinators, and can be highly specialized. Plants and their pollinators are often in coevolutionary mutualisms.
The first fossil record for abiotic pollination is from fern-like plants in the late Carboniferous period. Gymnosperms show evidence for biotic pollination as early as the Triassic period. Many fossilized pollen grains show characteristics similar to the biotically-dispersed pollen today. Furthermore, the gut contents, wing structures, and mouthpart morphologies of fossilized beetles and flies suggest that they acted as early pollinators. The assosciation between beetles and angiosperms during the early Cretaceous period led to parallel radiations of angiosperms and insects into the late Cretaceous. The evolution of nectaries in late Cretaceous flowers signals the beginning of the mutualism between hymenopterans and angiosperms.

In Agriculture
Pollination management is a branch of agriculture that seeks to protect and enhance present pollinators and often involves the culture and addition of pollinators in monoculture situations, such as commercial fruit orchards. The largest managed pollination event in the world is in California almond orchards, where nearly half (about one million hives) of the USA honey bees are trucked to the almond orchards each spring. New York's apple crop requires about 30,000 hives; Maine's blueberry crop uses about 50,000 hives each year.
Bees are also brought to commercial plantings of cucumbers, squash, melons, strawberries, and many other crops. Honey bees are not the only managed pollinators: a few other species of bees are also raised as pollinators. The alfalfa leafcutter bee is an important pollinator for alfalfa seed in western United States and Canada. Bumblebees are increasingly raised and used extensively for greenhouse tomatoes and other crops.
The ecological and financial importance of natural pollination by insects to agricultural crops, improving their quality and quantity, becomes more and more appreciated and has given rise to new financial opportunities. The vicinity of a forest or wild grasslands with native pollinators near agricultural crops, such as apples, almonds or coffee can improve their yield by about 20%. The benefits of native pollinators may result in forest owners demanding payment for their contribution in the improved crop results: a simple example of the economic value of ecological services.
The American Institute of Biological Sciences reports that native insect pollination saves the United States agricultural economy nearly an estimated $3.1 billion annually through natural crop production;[4] pollination produces some $40 billion worth of products annually in the United States alone.[2]
Pollination of food crops has become an environmental issue, due to two trends. The trend to monoculture means that greater concentrations of pollinators are needed at bloom time than ever before, yet the area is forage poor or even deadly to bees for the rest of the season. The other trend is the decline of pollinator populations, due to pesticide misuse and overuse, new diseases and parasites of bees, clearcut logging, decline of beekeeping, suburban development, removal of hedges and other habitat from farms, and public paranoia about bees. Widespread aerial spraying for mosquitoes due to West Nile fears is causing an acceleration of the loss of pollinators.
The US solution to the pollinator shortage, so far, has been for commercial beekeepers to become pollination contractors and to migrate. Just as the combine harvesters follow the wheat harvest from Texas to Manitoba, beekeepers follow the bloom from south to north, to provide pollination for many different crops.
Environmental Impacts
Loss of pollinators, also known as Pollinator decline (of which colony collapse disorder is perhaps the most well known) has been noticed in recent years[5]. Observed losses would have significant economic impacts. Possible explanations for pollinator decline include habitat destruction, excessive use of chemical herbicide or pesticides, parasitism/diseases, air pollution and other causes.

just here to propose an idea of implementing unique effects when a certain unit (rather character) gets hit, attacks, dies or uses some skill. Effect can be an oof, shout or whatever. Also original oneliners for example when Bringer slays with his skill or aliria revives a knight or rasam freezes her enemies.
Examples for such one-liners: "for the TrueGod" (TGC), "ill hunt you!!" (there are enough hunters, pick one), "Tsssk, all i see is a bunch of weaklings" (when some bigshot gets fielded), "nuuuuuh" (when whatever char closes, yh, thats a friggin sfx, but whatever) etc. etc.
We could hold contests every fortnight or so where the GMs just choose 2 SFX or one-liners for chars that dont have those yet and people will send in their recordings and the winning recordings get implemented. It sounds fun, no?
Obviously the contests will only be held when GMs got the time for that, dunno how straining listening to the recordings will be. Thinking of SFX/one-liners, and what they should sound like, thereby creating a list should be done by all, community and GMs (im pretty sure everyone has some nice ideas, just thinking of how zu takes my whole field with him to the grave, god, i'd laugh so much if i were him/her/it )
Very important would be the option to disable those SFX and one-liners, and also the option to only hear the one-liner and/or SFXs once per game or so.
Tell me what you think about it, derailing would be kinda meh tho. Credits to Jazzock and Dreamspawn

One can never go wrong with animal print. I'm a sucker for anything leopard. Very chic and timeless!

Like anything else regarding style it depends on how it's done. In my opinion a touch of animal print (scarf or shoes) is fine but head-to-toe or even a large coat can be too much.
P.S. I found your site through Manolo for the Big Girl and enjoy it very much!
- November 11, 2010 at 10:29 AM
love it - they both look fabulous!!
- November 11, 2010 at 12:32 PM
The first one would be a bit much for me, but who cares, since her smile indicates she's happy with herself and what she's wearing? The second one looks great and I would wear it myself.

I must admit, I'm a fan of riots of beige so, despite my distaste for animal prints, I like this woman's understated class.
Do you accept photos from your fans? Since I discovered this blog, I sometimes notice people I'd like to photograph and send to you. I live in a neighbourhood filled with older Italian ladies and gentlemen so you can imagine there are some lovely outfits out there every day.

Animal prints never completely go out of style. Both of these women wear them well!
As much as I am trying not to buy any more animal prints this year, I notice I have accumulated quite a few over the years!

Comments about Gill Athletics 600g Tru-Flight 50m Javelin Girls:
I am a female javelin thrower for a Division 1 college on a track & field team. I received this javelin as a gift and have enjoyed it thus far. When I held it and took it out for a 'spin' on some open grass, it seemed heavier than other javelins I have used - this is not bad necessarily, I just wasn't expecting it. It feels more like 700g-800g than 600g but perhaps it was just me, ha! Anyways, I would recommend this brand, as well as this javelin, especially for the low price. If you're looking for a higher quality javelin, I guarantee it will be much more expensive and you'll have to buy it from back east most likely.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes

Senate President Charlie Huggins, however, expressed confidence the Legislature will finish in time. "This group has worked diligently to make that happen," he told reporters Friday during a Senate majority news conference.
Pruitt said the House was looking at possible contingencies should the Senate need more time to review whatever oil tax plan might pass the House. Those include possibly staying a few days more to finish work on the bill.
He said some members have asked for legal opinions on whether lawmakers can go past 90 days or whether they have to come back in a special session, if necessary. The 90-day session limit arose from a citizens' initiative and has been in effect since 2008. Under the constitution, the Legislature can stay in session for up to 121 days.
SB21 was on the House calendar for Friday. But Pruitt, R-Anchorage, said House leaders wanted to give members enough time to review the latest version of the bill, advanced from the House Finance Committee late Thursday night.
The proposal includes a 35 percent base tax rate and $5 allowance per taxable barrel of oil produced.
Under the plan, administration officials have said they expect the vast majority of Alaska's legacy fields, long the mainstay of Alaska's oil tax industry, would be subject to a 35 percent base rate and a per-barrel allowance on a sliding scale, higher at lower prices, non-existent at higher prices, around $160.
The bill "offers a new path forward for Alaskans," Gov. Sean Parnell said in a news release. "It offers a more prosperous future for generations to come."
Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, said the higher base rate is better than the version of the bill that advanced from House Resources, which would have fixed it at 33 percent. But he said he doesn't agree with a number of other changes made in House Finance, including the 30 percent tax break for higher royalty oil.
"It's still a bad bill," he said. "The question is has it changed a couple votes in the Senate?"
Parnell has been pushing a tax cut as a way to increase oil production. A consultant to the administration, Barry Pulliam, on Thursday said the bill would make Alaska "far more" competitive for investment dollars.
Pulliam, in a presentation, said the effective tax rate on the net value for oil not subject to the gross revenue exclusion would be about 25 percent at $100 oil and about 30 percent at $120 oil. The effective tax rate for higher royalty oil that gets the 30 percent gross revenue exclusion would be about 11 percent at $100 oil and 14 percent at $120 oil.
Supporters say the state needs to do something to address the downward trend of production. Production has been declining for years, but higher prices have helped to mask the impact on the state budget in recent years. Critics say this isn't the right way to go about it trying to boost production. They call it a dangerous gamble and say there are no guarantees about what Alaska might get in return.
The Senate narrowly passed a different version of SB21 last month. It would have to agree to any changes made by the House or the bill would go to a conference committee.
Huggins, R-Wasilla, said senators have been looking at the bill crafted in House Finance. Asked if the Senate might agree to the House changes, he said: "That would certainly be pleasant. And I'll leave it at that."

WASHINGTON – Video released from an attack at a conservative group's D.C. headquarters last year shows a building manager wrestling with a gunman and preventing a possible massacre.
The Family Research Council released surveillance video showing building manager Leo Johnson charging Floyd Corkins II in the building's lobby in August after Corkins pointed a gun at him.
Corkins, who was carrying nearly 100 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, later told authorities that he had planned to kill as many people as possible and then to smear the sandwiches on their faces as a political statement.
He fired three shots, and Johnson — who subdued the gunman and was shot in the arm — was the only one wounded.
Chick-fil-A was making headlines at the time because of its president's stated opposition to gay marriage. The Family Research Council also opposes gay marriage, and police officers who responded to the shooting scene reported Corkins said he didn't like the group or what it stands for.
The end of the video above shows what the FRC says is an FBI interrogation of Corkins in which he says how he learned of the group.
Corkins pleaded guilty to three charges in February: interstate transportation of a firearm, assault with intent to kill while armed and committing an act of terrorism while armed. Prosecutors have asked that he spend 45 years in prison.

The Maya and 2012
With the long awaited arrival of 2012, there is growing interest in the ancient Maya civilisation, and this is a double edged sword. On one hand, it is good to see this rich, highly advanced ancient culture finally getting the attention it deserves. Hopefully, this attention will turn into greater research opportunities leading to a better understanding of this enigmatic civilisation.

"Were it not for the brave efforts of Secret Service Agents…I might not be speaking to you here today. [Federal Agents] know, without a doubt, that someday, perhaps today, they may face danger and, perhaps, even tragedy."
Ronald Reagan, March 14, 1983
This new, permanent exhibit at the Reagan Library tells the history and the many responsibilities of the United States Secret Service, America's elite federal law enforcement agency.
After the Civil War, the Secret Service began as an agency charged with investigating counterfeit currency. Today, they are mandated by Congress to carry out dual missions: protection of national and visiting foreign leaders, and criminal investigations directed at safeguarding the nation's financial infrastructure.
The exhibit documents how these men and women put their lives on the line every day and are dedicated to serving the American people through five areas:

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
New Resource Available for Advocates Addressing the Growing Numbers of People with Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System
February 2, 2006 -- The Council of State Governments' (CSG) Criminal Justice / Mental Health Consensus Project is pleased to announce the release of a new resource for advocates addressing the increasing numbers of people with mental illness involved in the criminal justice system, The Advocacy Handbook: A Guide for Implementing Recommendations of the Criminal Justice / Mental Health Consensus Project.
The Advocacy Handbook, the result of a joint effort among the Consensus Project, NAMI, the National Mental Health Association, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, and the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, is available online at the Consensus Project web site: consensusproject.org/advocacy.
In recent years, there has been a growing chorus of advocates - whether individuals with mental illness, family members with loved ones who have mental illness, or simply concerned citizens - urging policymakers to "do something" about the increasing numbers of people with mental illness involved in the criminal justice system.
"This step-by-step guide helps advocates translate their energy into effective strategic plans. Equipped with recommendations that are constructive, bipartisan, practical, and reasonable, advocates can be effective partners to policymakers generally and leaders in the criminal justice and mental health systems specifically," said Representative Mike Lawlor (D – CT), cochair of the Consensus Project.
The Advocacy Handbook represents unparalleled consensus among distinct and independent national mental health organizations. It is designed to show advocates how to implement recommendations from the landmark Criminal Justice / Mental Health Consensus Project Report, released in 2002 by CSG on behalf of an extraordinary, bipartisan group of leaders in the criminal justice and mental health systems. Consensus Project staff are grateful to the leaders and contributors from each of these groups for their commitment to this issue and their determination to speak with one voice on these topics.
The Advocacy Handbook web site includes a variety of resources, including profiles of effective advocacy initiatives across the country. These profiles of "advocacy in action" highlight unique partnerships between advocates and state and local government agencies that have helped increase public safety, save lives, and reduce spending.

In our conversations about injustice and systemic racism, we tend to focus on individuals who have been mistreated. Whether we are speaking about current police brutality incidents, something that happens to Black entertainers, or racist rants, the injustice and systematic assaults on Black people continue. Oftentimes one element of this oppression that is often overlooked is how Black organizations get caught up in the abusive system. John Woods, an African American who is the program director and owner of New Perspectives Behavioral Health Systems, is speaking out about the injustice that he is experiencing now. Woods claims that the review team at 1800 Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis (Hennepin County Detox) is systematically running his agency out of business. Continue Reading →
