Paul Tracy has admitted that he will be mightily annoyed if F1 reject Sebastien Bourdais waltzes back into the IndyCar Series.

US open-wheel veteran Paul Tracy has reacted to the news of Sebastien Bourdais losing his Formula One seat at Scuderia Toro Rosso by admitting that he has mixed emotions about the Frenchman possibly returning to America.
Bourdais' release by the Faenza concern naturally sparked - or, indeed, fanned - rumours that he could be bound for the IndyCar Series, despite claims from the four-time Champ Car title-winner that he had not given up chasing the 'F1 project for which I have renounced my career in the United States'.
Bourdais made his name with Newman/Haas Racing when, having failed to attract the attention of F1 team owners following his F3000 championship success, he jumped at the chance to race in Champ Car in a bid to further raise awareness of his ability. Even with a hat-trick of titles under his belt, however, the Frenchman remained unwanted and, having announced that he had given up on the F1 dream, a new management deal with Nicolas Todt saw a fourth crown rewarded with a seat at Toro Rosso.
Since then, however, he has failed to reproduce his CCWS form in F1, with 27 starts producing just six points, albeit with a team that, despite 2008 team-mate Sebastian Vettel's Italian GP win and comparable machinery to Red Bull Racing, continues to be known as a backmarker. After weeks, even months, of speculation - he was a late, late confirmation for 2009 - the Frenchman was formally ousted from the Toro Rosso line-up after the weekend's German Grand Prix, with Spanish teenager Jaime Alguersuari the likely replacement.
Tracy has since admitted that, while he would look forward to winding Bourdais up, both on and off track - he seems to have correctly predicted the Frenchman's period in F1 [see story HERE] - he would be disappointed to see his former rival waltz back into a leading seat, especially as he has had to sweat over a handful of outings in 2009.
"I'm not surprised he's got the boot," the outspoken Canadian wrote in his regular racer.com blog, "The guy was a misery even when he had the best car and was winning everything, so I guess he's been pretty unbearable this last 18 months. He's a great driver, but I bet his attitude didn't exactly encourage the team to solve his problems.
"I'm in two minds about this. I'm dreaming of the day that I'm able to give Bourdais the gears again but, like I've said in previous blogs, I will be mightily pissed if he walks back into a deal when I've been working my tail off doing promotions, and helping to sell tickets for race organisers, and don't get a ride."
Whether or not Bourdais gets a place in the field for next season remains to be seen, and could rest largely on whether he even wants to return to US, but Tracy is adamant that he wants greater involvement next season, even if it means foregoing further outings in 2009.
"Racing is starting to dominate my thoughts again, like it did at the start of my career, and what I'm thinking about is the future, not the past," he wrote, "My first priority is trying to do a whole season next year. My second is for it to be with KV Racing... but it all depends on financing and whether we can generate sponsorship. Given a full-season programme, I'm confident that KV Racing can regularly challenge for wins in 2010. They have the equipment, the personnel and the team spirit to do it.
"If [co-owner] Jimmy [Vasser] had to say 'no', there are other potential openings, other shifts in the driver market. For example, there's a big question mark over possible vacancies at Andretti Green Racing. People have asked whether I would get on with Michael Andretti, and I realise we had our problems back in the '90s, but we got on fine when we were team-mates at Team Green/Andretti-Green in 2001-'02 - and I did everything asked of me at Toronto, and that was an Andretti Green Promotions race. That's all you can do, act in a professional way.
"I'm older now, I'm a different person than I was ten or 15 years ago. I like Tony Kanaan and, [while] I don't really know Marco [Andretti], I'd be happy to help with set-ups and stuff like that. From green light to chequered flag on raceday, I'm a selfish SOB but, through the rest of the weekend, I can be a team player, share data and feedback, and so on.
"The stupid thing is [that] the Indy Racing League are gonna need me to help sell tickets for the Canadian races next year, but to not drive on a road course for a year (like I did from Edmonton 2008 to Watkins Glen '09) won't help my cause - or the spectator numbers, because the Canadian fans will see it as a PR stunt.
"It's one thing doing Indy for a whole month; you can do a decent job there because you've got a lot of time to dedicate to getting the car how you want it, and getting yourself race-sharp, [but] it's only gonna get harder and harder to parachute me in for two races and expect me to do well. I'm 40 - I can't just take a year off and expect to then turn up and chase down Penske and Ganassi cars. After Edmonton, I've got nothing for now, and that depresses me."

Program is a slide backwards
Re: Clint Field's letter in the July 11 paper.
I am glad that recycling is working for you. I am only voicing my concern for the people that it is not working for, including me.
I agree with what you said about other countries that just "throw it all away" and I agree with reduce, reuse and recycle! It is why I am concerned with where recycling is heading in this province. Recycling in B.C. is not 'new'.
This blue box system was supposed to be an improvement on a recycling program that has been happening in B.C. since 1996. The bags worked great.
But, as usual this isn't about the people of BC, it is about business and money. See http://www.news1130.com/2014/04/22/big-changes-coming-to-blue-box-recycling-program/.
I am afraid people are not as passionate about recycling as you are and the blue bag system was much easier and convenient for them. This box 'improvement', well, it encourages the majority to just not do the right thing.
It is a slide backwards and people need to stop turning a blind eye to this white washed, nod your head and say OK, pat on the head, kind of government propaganda.

Clearing of throat constantly - throat cancer?
My husband was smoker for 40 yrs and just quit one year but for most of our married life of 23 yrs he was always clearing his throat of more now then ever and it is very annoying. Can this be leading to throat cancer.
Expert Answers
Constant clearing of the throat can mean many things like post nasal drip or even gastric reflux disease. Usually the cause is some sort of irritation of the esophagus, breathing tubes or throat against which the body makes mucous to protect itself. For your husband, a 40 year smoking history and worsening throat clearing mean that cancer of the throat, the esophagus or the lung are possibilities that must be considered, An ENT physician (Ear, Nose & Throat or otolaryngology) can look in his throat to evaluate for the cause while if lower in the esophagus is involved, a gastroenterologist can be more helpful. Best to start with his primary care doctor who can send him to the right person

In my professional career over the years, there has always been an opportunity to volunteer or give back to the community in one way or another. I feel that when there is an chance to volunteer or give back to the community, it's a soulful experience.
In addition to running my art business and retail gallery, I volunteer as a board member and President to the Downtown Campbell Business Association (DCBA), where I manage a number of programs and events such as the Third Friday Artwalk and our popular Winewalk.
I am also a (new) board member for the Silicon Valley Fireflies which is an organization of glass makers in the Bay Area. I have also served on the board for the Artist Guild of San Francisco and through our neighborhood association in the past.
My company also supports several organizations and in February 2009 I had donated time to paint nine murals with Ron Burn at the Humane Society Silicon Valley at their new facility in Milpitas, CA. It was an awesome opportunity to be a part of something so special for the pets in need
In providing time and energy for community work, it's evident to see many of the same people who also volunteer their time to make a difference, it's like a family of folks that are all on the same mindset. We all have our talents and qulaities, we are all the facets of the gem and we just "make it work!".
A little bit of community giving back goes a loooong way. If you live in a community or are involved with an organization, spend some time to help out. A few hours a month can really help out your local non profit or charity. The "feel good" factor is rewards enough, to say that you help out on an ongoing basis is not only giving, but soulfully fulfilling.

ATLANTA - Governor Nathan Deal announced today that Georgia's net tax collections for the month of April totaled $1.68 billion for a decrease of nearly $50 million, or 2.9 percent, compared to the month-ended April 2013. Year-to-date, net tax revenue collections totaled $14.73 billion for an increase of nearly $654.75 million, or 4.7 percent, compared to the same point last year.
Year over year comparisons for April were affected by two factors that are not expected to affect subsequent months' revenues:
~ April 2013 net revenues were boosted by a spike of more than $170 million over the prior April in individual income tax payments for returns, estimated payments, and assessments compared to April 2012. This spike was related to taxpayers accelerating capital gains and other income into tax year 2012 to avoid anticipated higher federal income tax rates in 2013. This shifted tax liability for Georgia's FY 2014 and later years to FY 2013. As a result of that one-time shift in tax liability, this year's April payments dropped by $102 million compared to last year, but still reflected strong growth when compared to April revenue collections prior to 2013. The impact of the one-time tax shift was anticipated in the governor's conservative revenue estimate for the Amended FY 2014 budget, and year-to-date revenue growth continues to exceed the level built into that estimate.
~ April 2013 net revenues were boosted by about $40 million by the voiding of accumulated refund checks whose validity had expired. This reduced the net individual and corporate income tax refunds paid in April 2013.
Changes within the following major tax categories explain the net tax revenue increase in April:
Individual Income Tax: Individual Income Tax collections for April 2014 totaled nearly $867.75 million, down from a total of $1.015 billion in April 2013, for a decrease of $(147.25) million or -14.5 percent compared to FY 2013.
The following notable components within Individual Income Tax combine for the net decrease:

Carnival will be expanding into Bermuda for in 2011. Read here
Awesome. I just might book the Bermuda out of Charleston. Dwayne, when can you go? http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...on_biggrin.gif
The Charleston sailings are indeed exciting news.
Yes, it is exciting news. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...on_biggrin.gif
Well, keep me posted. I'm really serious about booking it. There's one in October, the 6th I think. I could do that for Ron's birthday.
I need to get back on Princess or Costa. I really, really, really miss Princess. It's been over a year.
October 6th would most likely be the most doable for me. I've never been to Bermuda. I've been thinking of a Princess cruise too. It's like pulling teeth to get the available cruises that have past guest rates they honor for Carnival guests. At least it was the last time I tried. Not to get off topic, but they should make it easier for the perks to be used between the Carnival brands.
No kidding. I'd be Elite on Princess. I have 9 Princess, 6 Carnival, 4 Costa, 1 HAL. You only need 16 for Elite or 150 days. I'll probably reach it by days before number of cruises.
I added the October 6th cruise to my saved cruises. An inside is $409/pp. Maybe I could swing a 7 day on Princess and this one. Or Costa. I want to do the Panama Canal, but that's $4K. If I could find a part-time job, it would be a lot easier than trying to squeeze blood from a turnip http://bestsmileys.com/lol/21.gif
I'll add it to my saved cruises as well. I sorta wish it was the Pride instead of the Fantasy because I'm going on it this October and will be the 3rd time on that ship. Of course it has been different each time, they were re-doing the Promenade the last time I was on her back in '02. Now they have all the Evolutions of Fun completed, and another dry dock scheduled before then. Is it a bumpy ride to Bermuda?
You'll have to save a bit more. The taxes on that cruise are higher than normal. You need to add $96.37 in taxes. Also did you know you can get a port hole cabin for that same price? It would be in the front of the ship, but at least you would have some light in the cabin. Let's cross the fingers on the fuel supplements.
Yep, the daily average for Gov. taxes, Fees and misc. is a bit higher than normal. Not sure I'd recommend a port hole cabin going to Bermuda though as they can tend to get a bit bouncy in the open Atlantic on the Fantasy class ships.

By Rob Stein
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Surgeons have performed the first face transplant in the United States, the Cleveland Clinic announced yesterday.
The clinic refused to release any details other than to say that a team led by reconstructive surgeon Maria Siemionow replaced about 80 percent of a disfigured woman's face with that of a deceased female donor within the last two weeks. Neither the recipient nor the donor were identified.
"The patient's information will remain confidential, as will the donor's information," said Eileen Sheil, a spokeswoman.
The clinic plans a briefing today to release more information about the procedure, which was far more extensive than the three previous face transplants, which were performed in France and China.
"We call it a near-total face transplant. It was substantially more involved than what's been done to date," Sheil said.
The first partial face transplant was performed in France three years ago on a woman who had been mauled by her dog. That operation set off an international firestorm, with critics questioning whether it was ethical. Another face transplant was subsequently performed on a European man who was disfigured by a genetic condition, and a third was reported on a Chinese farmer who had been attacked by a bear.
Such transplants are controversial because they are aimed at improving a patient's quality of life rather than saving it, and recipients must take powerful immune-suppressing drugs for the rest of their lives.
The ethics of doing transplants for other than lifesaving reasons arose in 1998, when French surgeons conducted the first human hand transplant from a cadaver. Dozens of hand transplants have been performed since, along with other non-lifesaving procedures, including a larynx transplant to restore speech and a tongue transplant.
Beyond the surgical and medical challenges, experts say a recipient's psychological state is important because of the unique nature of a person's face.
Despite the initial uproar over the first face transplant, that recipient appears to be doing well. Isabelle Dinoire, who at age 38 lost her lips, cheeks, chin and most of her nose when she was mauled by her dog, gradually regained normal skin sensation and control of her facial muscles. The face she got from a 46-year-old brain-dead donor was attached like a mask in a 15-hour surgery.
Her recovery was, however, at times difficult. Her immune system twice mounted violent reactions against the new tissue, and the immune-suppressing drugs she must take caused infections and at one point kidney failure.
Some experts remain uncomfortable with the procedure.
"One case is merely an anecdote. It doesn't create a scientific basis to say it's safe for a patient to do this," said Carson Strong, a professor of human values and ethics at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. Strong remains concerned that patients may reject the graft, which would require removing it.
"The effect of that would be essentially a huge wound on the patient's face where that graft had been removed. In that event, you could reasonably say the patient would be much worse off at that time than he or she had been before the transplant had been attempted," Strong said.
Several other U.S. hospitals are considering similar operations.

DOT proposes changes to "suicide lane" in Pawleys Island
Fri, 06 Apr 2012 04:05:55 GMT —
SCDOT wants to make some changes to the median on Highway 17 in Pawleys Island from Baskervill Drive to Waverly Road. The changes include raising it and adding landscaping. They say the stretch of road is dangerous, but some say the proposals will make it even worse.
It's estimated 29,000 cars travel on Highway 17 in Pawleys Island daily, and those numbers go up to 38,000 during tourist season. SCDOT officials say from 2007 to 2011, the area averaged 3.4 car collisions per month, that's twice the statewide average for similar roads.
At a public information meeting held Thursday night, residents could look at maps with three different plans for median improvements. Greg Kinzie is in favor of the changes. "I'm not going to say that there won't be any accidents, but I think if you can cut down on the potential for them especially with what they call the suicide lane."
The median is nicknamed "suicide lane" because some consider it dangerous. To improve safety, the DOT wants to add more traffic lights, raise the median and improve the aesthetics.
Residents asked plenty of questions and some like Bob Mimms voiced opposition.
"I think the whole thing is misguided. I think they have come up with two and a half million dollars that our government can spend on housing or the homeless or something else," he said. "They've not shown me these studies where our accidents are twice what they should be."
Mimms doesn't agree with the phrase "suicide lane" and said the wrecks are occuring at intersections. He said the DOT's plan of limiting left turns and encouraging u-turns will have the opposite effect. He's also worried about what will happen to businesses.
"The businesses have grown up with the median. To take it away now is wrong," he explained. "Suppose the hammock shops, suppose there's no turn in there? Those people who are going from Myrtle Beach to Charleston who have heard of the hammock shops they're gonna say well maybe we'll catch it on the way back. Chances are they're not."
But for those who aren't a part of the business community, the changes are long overdue.
"The sooner they get it done, I think the better it'll be, and people will get used to it, and it'll continue with the appearance from Litchfield in through Pawleys," said Kinzie. "I know that it's going to disrupt some businesses a little, some of the people are not in favor of it, but I think in the long run the safety issue outweighs even the beautification project."
The proposed changes haven't been officially adopted. SCDOT Project Manager Leah Quattlebaum said the project will move forward based on public input.
Plans and handouts are available here and at the Georgetown County Planning Department. Public comment will be accepted until April 19.
If the project is given the green light, right of way acquisitions will begin in the fall of this year and construction is set to begin spring 2014.

Current Research
Prof. Cowen works in areas related to linear operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions such as the Hardy and Bergman spaces. Much of this research deals with the classical Toeplitz, composition, and weighted composition operators and the theory of analytic functions connected to these operators. The goal of this research is to connect the operator theoretic structure of operators with the geometric and analytic structure of the functions defining the operator. Cowen's PhD students have worked in operator theory and related linear algebra and theory of analytic functions. Dr. Cowen's webpage: http://math.iupui.edu/~ccowen

In the movie 27 Dresses, Jane (Katherine Heigl), an altruistic woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times, shows her collection of bridesmaid dresses for a variety of wedding themes such as Japanese theme, India theme and even Gone with the Wind theme. It goes without saying that theme weddings keep on gaining popularity these days. Of all the wedding themes, seasons are one of the hottest trends in the wedding industry. Autumn is a romantic, fantastic time to get married compared to hot summer and cold winter.
Autumn is a beautiful time of year, as the temperatures are cool yet mild and the leaves turn from green to orange, red and yellow. Autumn flowers include Chrysanthemums, daisies, lilies, orchids, etc. Autumn colors are champagne, beige, various browns, deep red, navy blue, eggplant purple, etc. Bridesmaids may choose to wear the same color or floral print, or another good idea is to have each bridesmaid represent a different autumn color to incorporate the beauty of autumn into the special day. A bridal gown is obviously designed to make the bride become the center of attention at the wedding ceremony. Unlike picking bridal gowns, the most important thing for choosing bridesmaid dresses is to perfectly suit the wedding theme. That's because a bridesmaid is usually the bride's sister or close friend who plays a strong supportive role in the wedding experience. The following are some bridesmaid dress options for autumn theme weddings. Take your time and enjoy the images!

Hello Freebie Finders!
How are you today? It's the last pay day before Christmas for most of us - are you prepared? It's a good idea to budget any month, but especially for this month as you may have lots of spending to do…
1. Don't panic
Turning into a flustering mess won't help you to get things done. Sleepless nights fretting about the ratio of mince pies to Brazil nuts won't help. Sit down, make a cup of tea and have a nice think. Christmas is supposed to be an enjoyable holiday!
2. Write lists
Never underestimate the power of a To Do List. Your list is your weapon, your go-to-guy when things get tough and can easily help you save money.
3. Divide the lists
Presents – family, friends, neighbours, Secret Santa's and work colleagues.
Food – parties, Christmas dinner, New Year's Eve and chocolate.
Decorations – Tree, baubles, fairy lights.
4.Shop around
You're on the web right now – so use it! Price comparison sites are the best way to find out how to get cheaper anything, from that hat for Uncle Harry to a new set of multi-coloured fairy lights to hand around your bird bath.
5. Use your hands
If you want to cut the cost even more, why not consider homemade gifts and goodies for Christmas this year? These can either be homemade food such as biscuits or jams, or why not get your family to all pitch in and hand make your Christmas cards?
Hope you like the tips - if you have any you'd like to share, just let me know!

Dear reader,
I haven't posted in a few days because there has been a lack of motivation. I've completely lost the motivation to watch the remainder of the season. Of course I might catch a game or two, but I don't feel the drive to watch each and every game anymore.
There's been so much disappointment with this team. The product on the ice on some nights make it painful to sit through a whole game, in fact I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make it through some games if not for the gang over at Raw Charge that keep me entertained. The team's 7-1 loss to the Sabres on the weekend would have tried my patience if I still cared. Luckily I don't.
Tonight when I was looking up the point totals for Henrik Sedin (the Canucks are my home team), the league leaders for points amused me. The Lightning have two players in the top 6 of the league, St. Louis at #5 with 87 points and Stamkos at #6 with 86 points.
But the Lightning are also sitting at the bottom of the league in standings.
In the end, no matter how much offense we have, if our defense and goaltending sucks, then our team ends up in the same spot we were last year. Having a coach that doesn't know how to coach the type of the players on his roster has hurt this team. Tocchet doesn't belong in this type of NHL, he doesn't fit the style of what the NHL has become. After the Olympic break, it looked like the team wasn't responding to his coaching anymore and the team themselves completely wasted away their own playoff hopes.
It's too bad this team was in limbo this entire season due to the ownership quarrels and eventual sale of the team. If the ownership was stable, could a decision have been made during the season that could have save this season? Maybe. Could a coaching change have been made that might have saved the season? Maybe, but no reason to wonder since the season is over.
I can only hope for change after this season is over and a change in coaching seems to be the most obvious change to start with.

Lovely, lovely...ReplyDelete
This blue glass feeder with red flower is pretty with the light filtering through and hummer in silhouette.ReplyDelete
A beautiful bird feeder there Chris. Never get tired of your hummingbird pics :) Video cheered up what is yet another rainy morning over here!ReplyDelete
I love that feeder, very artful. Interesting too the way the Hummer knows how to approach the feeding challenge.ReplyDelete
Very nice pictures Chris.....well done again.ReplyDelete
Greetings, Joop
Lovely photos!! Reminiscent of a blue perfume bottle I used to have with a bird stopper!!ReplyDelete
The Kiki video clips have put me in a great mood, and in the mood for a party!Thanks!!
Thanks for the secret of how to get a hummingbird to come to a fancy feeder. But wait! I think I might have only the cheap kind. :)) Only kidding. I do have a fancy one that the hummers tend to ignore.ReplyDelete
It is a pretty feeder! I only have the cheapy hummingbird feeders. You and Kathie are lucky to see hummers in the winter. I am envious! Great captures, Chris!ReplyDelete
It payed off to sit and wait in a big way.. incredible captures of the little Anna's, Chris.ReplyDelete
i haven't had much luck with pretty glass and artful feeders, either. the dollar general plastics get a ton of use. :)ReplyDelete
Hummingbirds are one of my favoritesReplyDelete
Sweet photos. Watching videos is practically impossible with satellite Internet (something to do with the delay from space to Earth is just enough to cause headaches) so I guess I'm in the dark about Kikis!ReplyDelete
I love hummingbirds. Great shots Chris!ReplyDelete
I'm giving up on my feeders...just too much competition from the bees. I hate that, but I'm just going to put more flowers out. Love Kathie's pretty feeder!ReplyDelete
Exquisite shots Chris :-)ReplyDelete
I Love that feeder!ReplyDelete
Wow, I usually walk by these gorgeous glass feeders because they are expensive and fragile but, wow, do they make for a to-die-for photo! I can imagine any of these photos blown up to poster size, the colour would fill the room. Congratulations!ReplyDelete
Lovely shots by the pretty feeder. I like number 4. Pretty little hummingbird pretending to be a bat.ReplyDelete
Uwielbiam te malutkie ptaszki i ślicznie razem z podajnikiem na zdjęciach wyglądają. Pozdrawiam.ReplyDelete
I love these little birds and lovely together with feeding the pictures look like. Yours.
My hummingbird feeder looks so pretty here! Great job Chris!ReplyDelete

The Ukiah City Council is holding a special meeting tonight where it is expected to talk about a proposed two-year agreement with the Ukiah Valley Fire District, water rates, a citizen outreach program and issues surrounding a possible ordinance establishing a preference for local businesses.
Earlier this month, City Manager Jane Chambers told members of the combined UVFD and Ukiah Fire Department, as well as members of the Ukiah City Council and the UVFD's board of directors, that she was forging a temporary, two-year agreement that the two agencies could operate under.
The fire departments have been working together for more than a year without formalizing their arrangement, and Chambers said the latest proposal from the UVFD offers to provide complete fire services to the Ukiah Valley for just over $3 million, with 64 percent of that amount, about $2 million, to be covered by the city.
Though the city already had $2.4 million budgeted for fire services, Chambers said the proposed agreement will require the city to find another $475,000, the majority of which she said she located in its "Fire Equipment Fund."
The interim agreement is needed, she said, because the process to have city employees fully transitioned to UVFD employees is a long and complicated one.
No action will be taken by the council tonight, but a vote on the agreement may occur at its next meeting Feb. 5.
Other items expected to be discussed by the council tonight include:
Policy issues related to pending Public Works projects: according to the meeting's agenda, "this item includes discussion of a wide range of pending projects scheduled over the next five years, and may include discussion of a possible future workshop regarding water rates."
Policy issues related to possible adoption of a Local Preference Ordinance.
Establishment of a Citizenship Outreach Program.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Ukiah Valley Conference Center at 200 South School Street.

Agency wants more use of fuel industry says isn't available
Updated 8:02 pm, Thursday, January 31, 2013
A week after an appeals court rejected a government mandate that refineries buy millions of gallons of alternative fuel that isn't available, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it plans to require companies to buy even more of it this year.
The EPA on Thursday said it would require refineries to buy 14 million gallons of cellulosic biofuel in 2013 as part of the government's efforts to grow the nascent alternative fuels industry.
But a federal appeals court in Washington ruled last week that the EPA's 2012 requirement of 8.65 million gallons was flawed, especially since virtually none of the fuel was commercially available for sale. The EPA hasn't said how it will respond to the court's rejection of the 2012 mandate, and its 2013 proposal for the fuel is likely to draw challenges as well.
Cellulosic biofuel is ethanol fermented from grasses, solid waste and other nonfood materials. Most ethanol in the United States is made from corn. According to the EPA, just 20,069 gallons of cellulosic biofuel were available for sale in 2012, all of it produced in the month of April.

The Renewable Fuels Association cheered the proposed 2013 mandate as a step forward for alternative fuels.
"The proposed standard in no way exaggerates the volumes that will be available in 2013 based on current information, and may ultimately prove to be conservative," Bob Dinneen, CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, said in a statement. "Cellulosic ethanol is being produced today at commercial scale in Florida, and with construction nearing completion at several other commercial sites, we fully expect 2013 to be the breakthrough year for cellulosic ethanol."
Fuels America, in a statement, said the EPA mandates have helped to encourage the renewable fuel industry in the past and probably will continue to do so.
"The policy is working: cellulosic biofuels are being produced now and millions of gallons of cellulosic fuel are expected to come online in the next two years," the group said in a statement.
As a result of the Renewable Fuel Standard, refiners have purchased and blended billions of gallons of corn-based ethanol, biodiesel and other alternative fuels into their products in recent years.
But since virtually no cellulosic biofuels have been available for sale, the refiners have had to buy waiver credits from the EPA, at a rate of 78 cents a gallon.
That waiver fee would have cost the industry about $6.8 million in 2012.
The American Petroleum Industry, a trade group, blasted the new volume projections.
"The court recognized the absurdity of fining companies for failing to use a nonexistent biofuel," said Bob Greco, the group's downstream group director. "But EPA wants to nearly double the mandate for the fuel in 2013"
"EPA needs a serious reality check," Greco said.
The federal agency said it will take into account public feedback during a 45-day comment period.

Little Falls finally solved Jeff Fasching, but by the time it did, it was too late.
For the third time this year, the ace of top-ranked St. Cloud Cathedral's staff dealt the Flyers a defeat, as the Crusaders earned a 7-2 win in the Section 6AA championship at Dick Putz Field in St. Cloud, Friday.
After a couple of scoreless innings, Cathedral busted the game open with a two-out, four-run rally in the third, then built its lead up to 7-0 with two more runs in the fifth and one in the sixth.
With Fasching tiring, Little Falls plated two runs in the bottom of the sixth, the first runs allowed in the tournament by Fasching after back-to-back shutouts.
Senior Collin Eckman reached with a one-out single, followed by a walk by senior Spencer Fenske.
After a fly out, junior Alec Zack drilled a run-scoring double down the right-field line, then Fenske dashed home to score on a wild pitch.
The Flyers stranded two runners to end the inning, though, and Fasching rebounded with a perfect seventh to clinch the title for Cathedral.
Senior Josh Wenzel added a double in the third inning and senior Nate Backowski and junior Kyle Boser singled in the fourth for the Flyers.
The two-time defending state finalist Crusaders will now enter the state tournament as the No. 1 seed and favorite to win a second title in three years.
The Flyers finished the season with a record of 17-5.
Seniors on this year's team included Gabe Ploof, Collin Eckman, Josh Wenzel, Nathan Masog, Matt Stumpf, Nate Backowski and Spencer Fenske.

Health of Imprisoned Cuban Dissidents Concerns U.S.
(State Department calls for release of 75 political prisoners) (420) The United States is concerned about the health of several political prisoners in Cuba, according to a June 2 statement issued by State Department Deputy Spokesman Philip Reeker. Reeker said that several of the 75 Cuban dissidents arrested and sentenced to long jail terms in March 2003 are ill and require immediate access to adequate health care. He called on the Cuban government to immediately release all 75 of the political prisoners or, at a minimum, provide them with the necessary health care, cease the inhumane treatment of these prisoners and allow humanitarian organizations to monitor their treatment. Following is the text of Reeker's statement: (begin text) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman June 2, 2003 STATEMENT BY PHILIP T. REEKER, DEPUTY SPOKESMAN U.S. Concern about the Health of Oscar Espinosa Chepe and Other Political Prisoners The United States is deeply concerned over the Cuban government's treatment of Cuban political prisoner Oscar Espinosa Chepe. According to his wife and other family members, Mr. Chepe may die if he is not transferred immediately from prison hospital to a better facility in Havana. This Cuban political prisoner is suffering from liver disease, edema, gastrointestinal bleeding, and other symptoms indicating a serious medical condition. The United States demands that the Cuban government provide Mr. Chepe with adequate health care and transfer him to a hospital where he can receive the level of care commensurate with his illness. Mr. Chepe is a 62-year old independent journalist, and is one of 75 independent activists, journalists, and librarians arrested and sentenced to long jail terms in March 2003. He was arrested and sentenced to prison for 28 years on trumped up treason charges. His only real crime was to call for peaceful change in Cuba. Mr. Chepe and all 75 of these political prisoners should be released immediately. The United States is also concerned by reports that political prisoners Raul Rivero, Martha Beatriz Roque, Jorge Olivera, and Roberto de Miranda are also ill. All should be given immediate access to adequate health care. Many of the 75 prisoners are being held in inhumane conditions, with very poor sanitation, contaminated water, and nearly inedible food. The Cuban government appears to be going out of its way to treat these prisoners inhumanely. It should immediately cease this practice and, at the minimum, allow the appropriate humanitarian organizations to monitor the treatment of its political prisoners.

(ii) A Player's bonus account cannot be cashed in but can be used to place wagers.
(iii) The bonus account is split into two separate bonus accounts:
a. A Bingo Bonus that can be used to wager in any Bingo Room, however, cannot be used to place wagers on (some) slot games, scratch cards and other casino games.
b. A Casino Bonus account that can be used to wager on some slot games, scratch cards and other casino games, however, cannot be used to wager on any bingo game

(xi) For a wager to count towards play-through requirements where allowed, the following minimum bets are required, bingo 0.06 credits, slots & scratch cards 0.35 or currency equivalent.
(xii) Only one bonus is permissible per deposit, either a casino bonus or a bingo bonus. You will be given the choice when you make a deposit. It is possible to make a purchase and collect a Casino Bonus and then on the next deposit collect a Bingo Bonus and vice versa. These bonuses are mutually exclusive, for example, if you reach play through requirements on the Bingo Bonus it will be converted to cash regardless of the status of the Casino Bonus.
(xiii) The bonus amount must be played through in full before the bonus balance is converted into the cash account.
a. Example 1: Player A has purchased $100 and received a casino bonus of $100, therefore has a total balance of $200 . Player A decided to play slots only, therefore, Player A must wager 35 X $100 = $3,500 before the casino bonus account is converted into cash and eligible for withdrawal.
(x) For any wagers made, the wager is deducted from the Player's cash account. If there is no cash available, then the wager is deducted from the bonus account.
(xi) Winnings on wagers made from a Player's cash account are credited directly to their cash account.
(xii) Winnings on eligible casino games or 1-Line, 2-Line and Full House prizes that occur from wagers made from a Player's bonus account are credited to their bonus account, however, the wagering requirements only apply to the original bonus amount as bonus money obtained from winnings is not subject to wagering requirements. Therefore, once that requirement is met, all bonus money is converted into cash.
Example 3: Player C has purchased $100 and received a casino bonus of $100, therefore has a total balance of $200. Player C decided to only play slots, and therefore, is subject to a wagering requirement of 35 times, or $3,500.00. After the player has wagered $500, the total balance left is $50, hence, the balance consists of only bonus money. After the next $500 of wagering the player wins, and now has a balance of $400. All $400 is bonus money as it was won with bonus money, however, is still only subject to the original $3,500 wagering requirement, which $1,000 has been completed. So the player wagers a further $2,500 and has a balance of $500, which has been won from the $400 bonus money, but the original $100 bonus has been played through, therefore, all $500 is now in the cash account and eligible for withdrawal.
(xiv) Any other bonus prizes or any cash prizes won using bonus funds and bonus received through redemption of Loyalty Points will be added to your bonus account and will be subject to standard wagering requirements; this includes tournaments, team bingo, manually credited jackpots and any other promotional bonuses.
(xv) If both bonus and cash funds are used, winnings will be distributed to the bonus and cash account accordingly.
(xvi) If you do not want any Bonus which has been deposited into your account by the Casino then you are entitled to request that it be reversed out of your Casino account, subject to no Play Through having taken place on Bonus, the initial deposit and/or associated Sign-Up Bonus. You can do this by contacting Customer support. If any part of the Bonus has been used, then the Bonus may not be removed from your account (either by means of withdrawal or a request to the support staff) until the Play Through Requirement associated with the Bonus has been met.
(xx) Where a Bonus has been granted to you, subject to you being required to have met all wagering requirements, you will be limited to a maximum withdrawal value of your total deposits any remaining balance will be forfeited if the casino deems your play to be irregular. For example, equal, zero or low margin bets or hedge betting, shall all be considered irregular gaming for bonus play-through requirement purposes. "State" game abuse is where the player collects gems, coins and other items that initiate a bonus round or free spins, to nearly the point of activating the bonus or free spins, and this is done with the welcome bonus and first deposit, and then the player then plays the balance down to under 1 credit, therefore, cancelling the wagering requirements, then re-entering the game with another deposit of cash only with no bonus and re-entering those games to complete the collection of items to trigger the bonus of free spins. The Casino reserves the right to decide in its sole discretion which activities constitute "irregular play" for Bonus Play through Requirements. This clause will only be applied at the discretion of casino management. All progressive wins are exempt from this clause. (xvii) In the event that the Casino believes you are abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, the Casino may at its sole discretion deny you from all future promotions and bonus money.
(xviii) Placing single bets in excess of 10% of the value of the bonus credited to Your account until such time as the wagering requirements for that bonus have been met. For example, if you received a bonus of $200, then the maximum bet that can be placed is $20. The 10% rule does not apply if the bet size is less than $5. Please note, this clause does not apply to the welcome bonus, as bet sizes are covered under clause 7 of the Welcome Bonus Terms. At management discretion this clause can be waived on a player by player level.

The 17th Amendment is in its centennial year, having been ratified in 1913. The Amendment mandates the direct election of senators. Prior to the enactment of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution the U.S. Senators discussed federal affairs with their state legislators on a regular basis. At THAT time U.S. Senators did not have to raise millions of dollars to run for office. They were not beholden to the large corporations.
There is no way our U.S. Senators are going to personally discuss federal affairs with, and handle the input from say, 900,000 people. The only choice we have before us is to have them discuss our federal affairs with the State Legislatures as opposed to the large corporations. As originally included in the U.S. Constitution, the people of the states will continue to enjoy the right to vote for their U.S. Representatives.
In hindsight, the Amendment is a part of the Progressive agenda that has led to the growth of the federal government, and has been a significant factor in the transfer of power to the federal government from the states. It should be repealed.

Tailor made natural history and wildlife holidays around the worlds oceans and seas.
Most of our planet is made up of water – 70.9% of it to be exact! Of that 97% is salt water and 3% fresh, meaning that the world's oceans take up an awful lot of space!
There are five oceans, the largest being the Pacific, then the Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic. There are many deep trenches on the ocean floors, where the earth's surface in places remains volatile resulting in earthquakes, volcanoes and in the case of those in the oceans, tsunamis. This is where life on earth began ……
Exploring the oceans of the world opens up many opportunities to the adventurous traveller. In years gone by before air travel became common place, everyone travelled long distances by ship and many adventures were had as families travelled, often to emigrate, by boat to South Africa, Australasia, Asia and the Americas. Modern day cruise ships are really floating towns, a far cry from the original 'cruise liners' that graced the oceans and even further from those galleons and icebreakers of the pirates and explorers of centuries gone by! Check out a round the world cruise itinerary to traverse many oceans.
In some parts of our oceans, islands life was separated when the continents formed and have evolved unique life forms such as The Galapagos or Madagascar. Both of these destinations are fabulous wildlife experiences.
The marine environment is an underwater film show – there is probably more varied life on the seabed that on the land above it. Many creatures are microscopic and make up the masses of marine plankton that feed the larger animals. Of these, many such as the sharks and manta rays are filter feeders, scooping up the tiny plankton. Bony fish which have moveable fins and swim bladders dominate the oceans and many are hunters, such as tuna. But mammals in the oceans (Cetaceans) such as the many whales and dolphins are undoubtedly the stars of the show. Various species of whale migrate around the world and can be seen at different times of the year as they come close to land to breed. Try destinations such as Canada and Alaska, Norway, South Africa, Australia or Mexico for some fabulous whale watching, to name a few.
Coral reefs with their amazing colours and intricate rich marine life are like underwater forests. There are many protected marine reserves now around the world, some of the most rewarding for snorkelling and diving holidays include the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Maldives, Costa Rica and Belize in Latin America and Mozambique.
However you want to travel the oceans, on them or below them, there is a wealth of wildlife and beauty to be enjoyed. Take a look at the holidays section for some inspirational travel suggestions and give us a call to find out where you can see Whale Sharks, Humpback Whales, Dolphins, Sharks or huge fish migrations. Or maybe you would like to do some diving and not sure which part of the world is best or at what time of year? Or want to charter a yacht and go island hopping? …….

Dems have gone too far, says guv candidate Kopp
The Democrats have over-reached on several issues, and it's time to put a stop to it, says Mike Kopp, the newest Republican to jump into the race to be the GOP candidate for governor.
Whether it be gun control or increased renewable energy requirements or a temporary reprieve for a convicted mass murderer, Democrats have gone too far with pushing their agenda, the former state senator said Wednesday, a day after formally entering the race.
"I think there's something like a leadership crisis in this state as evidenced by these two recalls and with people considering a 51st state," said Kopp, who was in Grand Junction as part of a whirlwind Western Slope tour to introduce himself to folks from Durango to Grand Junction.
"I really believe that people feel like government is way too involved," he said. "The government has snuck into the front seat and really ought to be in the back seat. Taxpayers should be in front, and people understand that."
Currently, Kopp is one of five Republicans vying for their party's nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in his re-election bid next year. He faces Secretary of State Scott Gessler, former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, Wray Sen. Greg Brophy and Meeker resident Jim Rundberg.
A member of the Colorado Senate from 2007 to 2011, acting as minority leader his last year there, Kopp earned a reputation as a thoughtful legislator who knew how to work with both sides of the political aisle.
A conservative to be sure, Kopp's chief issues center on reducing government regulations, saying Colorado's leaders haven't made a serious effort on that for more than half a century.
"We have to have leadership that goes beyond the cutting-red-tape slogan," he said. "We need a thorough examination of everything we do to regulate businesses that make it hard for them to bring new employees on, that make it hard for them to give existing employees raises."
Kopp resigned his Senate post in 2011 when his wife, Kimberly, died of cancer.
He was elected national committeeman for the Republicans a year later, and currently works as manager of corporate affairs for Intermountain Rural Electric Association.
Kopp is a veteran of the U.S. Army, leaving the service as a sergeant in 1991 after serving during the first Persian Gulf war.
He then worked in the nonprofit and ministry fields, earning his undergraduate degree from North Central University in Minnesota and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Colorado at Denver.
He and his new wife, Shannon, live in Golden with his four children from his first marriage.

BWW Reviews: SPACE CAPTAIN: CAPTAIN OF SPACE! Lunar Tics
The episodic movie serials of the 1930s have inspired several other works through the years, whether in an attempt to capture the adventurous spirit (such as Star Wars or Indiana Jones), or to mock the campiness of the genre (such as Amazon Women on the Moon). With SPACE CAPTAIN: Captain of Space! Jeff Sproul lampoons sci-fi specifically, crafting a multi-media story heavily influenced by equal parts Flash Gordon and the lesser-known 50s tv show Rocky Jones: Space Ranger.
The handsome and effective rocket pilot Rocky Lazer (Matthew Wise) is on a mission to stop King Xayno of the planet Argor (writer Jeff Sproul) from crashing the Moon into Earth. With Rocky is his young sidekick Chip Skipper (Jeremy Mather); Dr. Horst Karlock, inventor of the X-1 spaceship (Jared Warner); and Jean Jarvis, Daughter of the President of the United States of Earth, and the world's first woman professor (Alicia Barnatchez). They have various episodic adventures along the way which include King Xayno's daughter Princess Astra (Michele McNally), her sometime lover Barron Ozzric (Jeremy Banks), the wisewoman Lady Actulus (Sabrina Farhi), and Klarff, Prince of the Squirrel Men of the Moon (Matt Sears). There are also two centurions who guard Xayno's palace (Jesse Bernath and D. Robert Wolcheck).
The show is amusing, but frequently has trouble settling on a comedic tone: sometimes it plays as a straight-up spoof of the worn conventions of 30s sci-fi, but just as often Sproul pulls out the rug by attempting to comically deconstruct the genre and character types, and still more often breaks out of the old-fashioned style to pull cheap larfs from out-of-character contemporary humor. This fitful uncertainty makes the jokes difficult to set up, and as a result the show is confusing and not as funny as it could be.
The stagecraft is mostly excellent- since the play is based on black-and-white serials, all the props, set (Lindsey Moore Sproul and Jak Prince), costumes (Caroline O'Hare), and puppets (Anna Paniccia) are in black-and-white, and some of the actors are lightly daubed with paint to put them in black-and-white themselves (though this is only fitfully effective, as the otherwise-wonderful costumes leave a lot of skin showing). Adam Swiderski's fight choreography is great, as usual. Ben Lindvall's original music is excellent. Lindsey Moore Sproul directs with a steady hand.
There are also excellent video elements (Jeremy Mather), which include several of the scenes while the actors are offstage, as well as a few more actors who only appear on film: Sean Williams (as President of Earth), Timothy Mather and Nicolas Marti (as scientists), as well as cameos by Alexis Robbins, Meredith Hackett, Ryan Michele Healey, Alex Knox, Ruby Rinekso, Mark Stochmal, and Jeff Woods. On the whole, the video sections are the most effective portion of the evening, impressively playing like bits of real episodes of the imaginary show; I wonder why the company didn't simply film the whole thing and release it in serial chapters on YouTube.

NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma athletic officials acknowledged they were investigating phone calls made by former basketball assistant Oronde Taliaferro to determine whether he had committed NCAA violations.
In a statement, the school indicated that Taliaferro made calls to a Merrill Lynch representative in Florida and the content of those calls was under review.
Oklahoma claims Taliaferro did not break NCAA rules by simply making the calls. The school's investigation started after a TMZ.com report that former player Keith Gallon had received a wire transfer from a Merrill Lynch representative.
"We're working through the information we've gathered and look forward to bringing this matter to resolution," athletics department spokesman Kenny Mossman said.
The Sooners remain under NCAA probation until Sunday for major violations committed under former coach Kelvin Sampson and by the football program. The NCAA found that Sampson and his staff made more than 550 impermissible recruiting calls over five years.
C-USA: A majority of the league's athletic directors want the 2011 men's and women's conference tournaments in El Paso, Texas. The recommendation needs approval from the board of directors next month in Dallas.
Marshall: Indian River State College center Aundra Williams, a native of Clewiston, signed a national letter of intent with the Thundering Herd.
Memphis: Junior guard Roburt Sallie plans to pursue basketball closer to his Sacramento, Calif., home or overseas after he receives his degree in August.
BYU: Administrators declined former running back Harvey Unga's request to be readmitted for the fall semester. Unga withdrew from classes in April, saying he had violated the school's strict honor code. The school said the soonest he could be readmitted is January.
Iowa State: Starting right tackle Scott Haughton, from Sanford, was dismissed from the team for violating team rules.
Other sports
Track: After winning its first SEC outdoor title since 1987, the Florida men's team jumped two spots to No. 1 in the latest U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll. The Gators are the top-ranked team for the fourth time in seven weeks this season, ahead of Oregon. The FSU men are eighth.
Golf: Southern California shot par 288 to extend its lead to seven over Alabama in the lightning-delayed NCAA women's championships in Wilmington, N.C. The second round is scheduled to be completed this morning before the third round begins.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I haven't found a way to run it without the launcher. And there is no error message. Just nothing.
Try to run the game without the launcher, and post the error (if you get one)
This allowed me to get a bit further. Got 5 seconds of tutorial and 5 seconds of blank screen on play game. I reduced my graphics to 16 bit colour at the same time.
There's a executable (don't recall the name exactly) inside a folder on the game installation folder. You run it, and it will give some error (or not). This was how I discovered and fixed my bug. If the bug is the same, I might be able to help you.
Try download and install this dlls. It fixed my problem.
Thanks for that. I've checked the thread and I'm not even getting as far as a white screen. I'll update my drivers and keep everyone informed.
I'm on a Toshiba Satellite laptop
Dual core celeron T300 @ 1.90 GHz, with 3GB Ram, using onboard Intel4 series graphics driver. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Your video card is not one of that with known issues? You should check the topic about that.
Did you tried to run the game without the launcher? Look for it in the 00766 folder. It may give you some error message.Shard said:
I, too, am getting these results. I click the 'Play' button, I get the Windows 7 little blue circle for a few seconds, then nothing.
If I look under taskmanager, I see BGEE.exe running, then I see Baulder.exe *32 run, then they both shutdown. No error messages.
From previous posts, I have tried running as administrator, in Vista SP1 compatibility mode, and downgraded my video drivers. Unfortunately, nothing has changed the results.
I am using an Alienware M11x R2
i5 Processor 1.07 GHz
nVidia 355M with 1Gb RAM. Driver version 306.97 (latest non-Beta. Tried 301.42 and 306.23 - no go)
External monitor running at 1600 x 1050 resolution
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I went back and checked the 'Known Issues' thread. In it was a comment that for laptops with two video cards (one integrated, the other high performance), go into the control panel and set Baulder's Gate to run on the high performance card. Although the laptop should do this automatically, I manually set it and now the game runs fine (so far).

Young Girls HairstyleYoung Bella Thorne was everyone's delight at the 02/01/2010 "Dear John3 World Premiere when she wore her long red brown hair in gentle coils that traveled below her shoulders and then secured with a small red bow on the side. Her bangs were an asset unto themselves, smoothly fashioned and spaced in thick pieces as they were placed just under her eyebrows.
The amber hair color and hairstyle fits Bella quite well and portrays a very feminine presentation along with her peterpan/butterfly mixed collar design that is trimmed in the white setting within the denim colored blue dress.
Bella's hair is ideal for a young girl such as herself. The hairstyle would require a coiling or curling iron to set the curls into a tight vertical position and then allowed to gently fall where they hang. Her hair color is a light warm brownish red that would appeal to those drawn to the look of earthiness and wholesomeness.
Her makeup is light, with dark eyeliner, mascara and a flesh toned lip tint and is au natural. With her length of hair Bella can easily wear it up or down, braided or around with a ribbon.
