State Policy Actions to Overcome Barriers to Carbon Capture and Sequestration and Enhanced Oil Recovery
State Policy Actions to Overcome Barriers to Carbon Capture and Sequestration and Enhanced Oil Recovery
September 2013
by Patrick Falwell
Download the full report (PDF)
The development of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) and Enhanced Oil Recovery with Carbon Dioxide (CO2-EOR) projects faces a wide range of barriers, but state-level policy can help overcome many of these challenges. In addition to establishing a regulatory framework for CCS and CO2-EOR projects, states can provide incentives, financial or nonfinancial, to promote the development of CCS and CO2-EOR. So far, states have adopted a diversity of policies that meet local expectations and needs. Additional state policies have been proposed, but not yet adopted.
This paper, developed through the Sequestration Working Group of North America 2050, lists the key regulatory and economic barriers CCS and CO2-EOR projects must overcome, and lists examples of existing or proposed state-level policies to help in addressing each.

On May 3 the Governing Board of the Newhall School District took action to lay off 16 permanent status general education classroom teachers in response to continuing projected budget cuts. In previous action earlier this year the district laid off 14 temporary classroom teachers. The board also took action to freeze hiring for one open administrative (assistant principal) position for next year.
The board was able to rescind the layoff notices for 26 others who received preliminary notice in March, including 15 general education classroom teachers, five fine arts teachers, and six assistant principals.
"We are happy that we were able to carefully calculate the effect of rising class size and declining enrollment and rescind the majority of layoff notices. And we remain dismayed that we are forced to lay off any employees in reaction to the current budget uncertainty," said Alexis Yannich, assistant superintendent of human resources for Newhall. "District administrative staff will be working every angle to bring back those teachers who have been laid off. This may, however, stretch through the spring months as local negotiations with NTA continue, state budget deliberations drag on, and our staffing needs solidify."
The board also approved a "Fiscal Stabilization Plan" as required by Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE). LACOE oversees the financial status of the district and approves its multi-year budget projections. Even though Newhall currently maintains a large reserve, it is decimated the year after next due to the cumulative effect of state revenue cuts. A letter from LACOE, in response to the district's "2010-11 Second Interim Budget Revision," requested "that the District adopt and submit a fiscal stabilization plan that restores and maintains the required reserves for 2012-13."
The plan refers to, among other strategies, the implementation of some or all of the district's "Plan B" which lists the savings from reductions of programs such as class size, fine arts, maintenance, and other specialized funding. Plan B can be found on the NSD website, under the "Budget Crisis" section.
"We are still in difficult times and have no clear picture from the state as we head into our 2011-12 Adopted Budget building process," said Marc Winger, superintendent. "Without clarity we may be forced take further unwanted actions that help us to balance our 'out year' budgets. However, with a strong reserve we believe we will be sheltered from the brunt of any large cuts as we move into next school year."
"While most of us will be relieved by that thought," continued Winger, "The sixteen permanent teachers and fourteen temporary teachers who have been laid off are uppermost in my mind -- they have already felt the ugly effect of a potentially large revenue cut and declining enrollment. As always, our goal should be to maintain people and programs as we weather the storm."
Fiscal Stabilization Plan
Approved by the Board May 3, 2011
The Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) has completed their review of NSD's 2010-11 Second Interim Financial Report. In a letter to the Governing Board dated April 7, 2011 LACOE requested that the board adopt a fiscal stabilization plan.
Staff submitted for consideration any or all of the following as part of a fiscal stabilization plan:
1. Use of General Fund reserve funds
2. Implement part or all of Plan B expenditure reductions
3. Negotiate further compensation concessions, if necessary
4. Additional State revenue
The district's Second Interim (April) Financial Report indicates that it has a healthy reserve in the current year. The reserve is also adequate for the 2011-12 fiscal year. But the reserve is eliminated based on revenue loss assumptions used in the 2012-13 fiscal year. In order to maintain a 3% unrestricted general fund reserve the District would need to implement all or part of Plan B and/or negotiate further concessions with employee representatives.
Alternately, if the State were to fund a portion or all of the full statutory revenue and cost-of-living next year, or provide other General Fund unrestricted funding, staff would revise budget estimates and determine what, if any, expenditure reductions will be necessary in order to generate the required 3% general fund unrestricted reserve. The "fiscal stabilization plan" will be submitted to LACOE with the district's 2011-12 Adopted Budget in June.

Last year, my son asked me to knit him a sweater just a few days before Christmas. Better yet, he said he wanted an "ugly sweater" for a party… So, a year later, and I've made him one, in miniature. :)
For what it's worth, he seriously suggested that he might wear a regular sweater, if I knit him one. :) I'm looking at patterns, but for now, I think this is good for laugh.
Notes: The pattern is good, but if I do this again (and we all know that I probably will), I will divide for the front/back and sleeves with odd numbers, so there is a center line of stitches. I had so much trouble trying to place that tree in duplicate stitch, and it's way off-center!

Ron Wood – Most Famous Mullets
Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood not only had the party going on in the back, but he had one of the more spikey up-fronts with his mullet.
Unlike a number of rockers who've grown out of the look with age, Wood has kept his hair near shoulder length in back, while the spikey jet-black hair remains. But there's no hating on Wood because the mullet is only rock and roll, and we know he likes it.
…And so does the next person on our list, who as it turns out, is a former bandmate of Wood's.

An official's error almost robbed Calgary Flames rookie Corban Knight of the opportunity to take home proof of his first NHL goal.
The goal itself was never in doubt — it clearly beat dejected Anaheim Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen in the final minutes of the Flames' 7-2 rout Thursday night. But as the 23-year-old Knight celebrated his milestone, linesman Lonnie Cameron scooped up the puck and casually flipped it to a young fan in the first row.
Luckily, Knight's teammates had his back. Flames center Mikael Backlund, who scored twice in the win, was able to retrieve the puck, swapping his stick with the spectator to do so.
Knight was, understandably, all smiles in the locker room afterward.
The ref threw @CorbanKnight's 1st NHL goal puck in the stands. Class act @Mbacklund11 traded his stick to get it back http://t.co/YNFvPT5BJo—

JERUSALEM (Mar. 27)
Italy's Foreign Minister, Guiseppe Medici expressed understanding today, in talks with Israeli leaders, for Israel's refusal to withdraw completely from the administered territories, the Egyptian precondition for talks for an interim agreement, senior officials here told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Medici, who is here on a four-day official visit, met for an hour with Premier Golda Meir and for nearly an hour with Foreign Minister Abba Eban. He said Italy wanted to see the Suez Canal reopened, the goal of proposals by the Nixon Administration for interim talks and that his country was concerned at the continued Middle East impasse. But the Italian diplomat did not present any new plans of his own, the officials said.
Medici also reportedly gave a sympathetic hearing to Israeli statements of Israel's needs in the agreement with the European Economic Community, of which Italy is a member, which is to be negotiated this year. Eban also urged that European governments take stronger action to apprehend and punish Arab terrorists. Eban said Israel was gratified by increased preventive measures taken by those governments but said their judicial and punitive actions were inadequate.

We have and always have had just one TV in the family room for all the younger kids, from 3 to 9 years, to watch (older kids watch stuff upstairs on their own). The old rule was that if they couldn't agree on what to watch, nobody watches anything. For weeks they'd been fighting about it constantly and we'd had enough.
So we simply moved it out for 2 weeks. 2 weeks of no TV did WONDERS in our house for the fighting situation. But, in the interest of not being "the weird house," maintaining our sanity, allowing "normal" kid experiences in an already abnormal enough house, and of not making it a forbidden fruit thing, we brought it back a week ago. Just with some big tweaks.
No Nickelodeon. No Disney channel. No bratty tween shows. No reality TV. The only channels we have unblocked now are PBS and affiliate stations, Nat Geo Wild, Science Channel and Animal Planet.
They can request certain cartoons from Netflix if they want to watch it on the computer or iPad, but that's pretty limited.
And so far? It's working. There's not been a single fight this week over TV. Where a simple hour of TV used to be marked by whining, bickering, and DH and I having to set up a schedule of who gets to watch what, now it's marked by kids hanging out together watching good, quality, educational TV, or simply drifting out of the room or ignoring it if they don't care for what's on.
Another unforeseen benefit of limiting the TV to educational (or at least semi-educational, we're watching Finding Bigfoot now, after all) programs is that my older kids are participating more downstairs, whereas when it was often little kid cartoons or bratty tween shows, they often didn't want to be downstairs. Now they all watch things together. The older kids explain and elaborate on topics for the younger kids. We have great family discussions around programs they watch.
I'm liking our massive TV overhaul so far :D
We don't do TV at all, we two that on occasion use for a movie I guess. I love life without TV.
We only have antennae so cartoons only play at certain times of the day so that makes it really easy to limit tv time. I only watch tv at night when SO turns it on. I probably would almost never turn the tv on if he was gone, lol.
I think if it weren't for my husband I wouldn't have a TV at all. We don' have cable, so only watch DVDs. But YouTube has now found its way into our home. Wish I could get rid of it all!

I've had 2 people put filler in my naturally VERY thin lips and i got the same result from both of them - The corners and sides of my mouth remain sunken in. They can plump the centers okay, but the outer half-inch of the lips remain very thin and the corners so sunken in the my lipstick bleeds out the corners constantly. I have to keep wiping away the lipstick that collects there, and i don't like the "Betty-Boop" look of pouty in the center only, skinny on the sides. What is going wrong here?
How to Pull Up, Plump Out, or Fill in "Sunken-in" Corners of Mouth.
Doctor Answers 2
Improving the lateral lip and corners
Fillers are dose dependent: the more that is given, the greater the improvement. If you have had nice improvements in the center portion of the lip perhaps you simply need more injected into the lateral lip and the corners. But fillers aren't the solution for all patients. Sometimes the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip is too long and fillers alone won't give the desired improvement. If that is the case an upper lip lift can create a nice improvement. In this procedure a small amount of extra skin is excised so that the scar is hidden in the base of the nose. This is usually only indicated for older patients with a long upper lip. If the corners of the mouth are too deep and are the result of excess sagging skin then a facelift may be indicated. Check with your doctor to see if the results you are hoping for are possible with fillers only.

FORMER ATTORNEYGeneral and Minister of Justice Martin Alamisi Amidu, says he will continue to speak the truth even if it would mean sacrificing his life to save Ghana and the Constitution from the hands of nation-wreckers.
Ever since he took the decision to pursue the payment of dubious judgment debts to Waterville Holdings, Isofoton SA and Alfred Agbesi Woyome, 'Citizen Vigilante' as he prefers to call himself, said "the government and those sub-groups in the NDC who are against the results of the two Supreme Court judgments have persistently endangered my life and personal security since I commenced my action in the Supreme Court in June 2012."
He emphatically stated that "I, Martin Alamisi Amidu, will not regret dying for defending the Constitution and people of Ghana since fear is the enemy of Change."
Commenting on the continuous vilification by those groups after the Supreme Court verdict, the former Attorney- General said "the government and its aggrieved party friends are literally informing the foreign companies and other aggrieved Ghanaians that they are at liberty to endanger my life and personal security."
He was responding to claims by a member of the Legal Team of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Victor Kojoga Adawudu, who is linked to the payments made to Waterville, that he (Martin Amidu) stole documents from the Attorney General's Department resulting
in the inability to pursue claims against Waterville and Woyome by the AG as reported on the website of Accra-based Citi FM on June 23, 2013. Mr Amidu described the allegations as "baseless, false, malicious and libelous" and intended by the current Attorney-General to vilify him.
He said the legal firm of the current Attorney-General, Marietta Brew Appiah-Opong acted as counsel for a party in the judgment debt conundrum.
Facts On File
While serving as A-G and Minister of Justice, Mr Amidu said he decided not to take possession of the Waterville/Woyome file or allow it to be left in his office.
"Consequently, on 23rd December 2011 when the file was brought to my office by the Chief State Attorney, Samuel Nerquaye-Tetteh, in the company of the Solicitor- General [Mrs. Amma Gaisie] for my first briefing on the Alfred Agbesi Woyome judgment debt scandal which had
infected the Ghanaian political environment, I never took custody of the file or permitted it to be left in my office," he noted.
Mr Amidu noted, "I hope Mr. Adadevoh would be honourable enough to confirm that anytime he wanted me to have the file I asked him to make available to me only photocopies of the relevant pages we had discussed."
According to Mr Amidu, "There was, therefore, no way by which I could have taken copies of the documents from Waterville/Woyome files to deprive that Office of pursuing the cases when I left office.
"The exhibits annexed to the Attorney General's Statement of 1st Defendant's Case prepared, signed and filed in the Supreme Court by Chief State Attorney Dorothy Afriyie-
Ansah, which contains documents which were not in the incomplete file, exposes the lies being supplied by the Attorney General's office to the NDC Legal Team with the active approval of the Government to vilify me as a documents' thief."
An obviously unhappy Martin Amidu said, "Mr. Adawudu should have known that not being a member of the Attorney General's Department, even a fool will know that his falsehood that I took office documents away when my appointment was revoked was fed to him by the Government through the Attorney General's office.
"The Solicitor General and her office who passed on the falsehood to the current Attorney General should be ashamed of themselves for maligning me just because I undertook a defence of the 1992 Constitution when the office failed to advice the then Attorney General that international business or economic transactions such as the Waterville and Isofoton contracts could not be settled when they had not been approved by Parliament."
Mr Amidu believes Kojoga Adawudu, who was a junior in Awoonor Law Consultancy (ALC), the firm that arbitrated in the Waterville claims and awarded Waterville the €25 million which the Supreme Court ordered to be refunded on June 14, 2013 "is being used by a former partner in
Lithur Brew & Company (Lawyers for Austro Invest) who is now Attorney General to vilify me for allegedly taking office documents away when I left office.
"The use of a political party's legal team to vilify a senior member of that political party without any sanction from the political party sends a wrong signal when the Constitution of that party mandates a defence of probity and accountability," he emphasized, wondering why the founder of the NDC has shown NDC and the government what the NDC stands for "but alas those now in control cannot hear nor see the way to probity and accountability".

This week is the eighth—count them, eight!—anniversary of the moment when your favorite source of elderly-gaming curmudgeonliness foisted itself upon this fine old series of tubes we affectionately call the "Inty." Hard as it may be to believe, it's been eight long trips around that hoary, old sun since first I planted something patently wrong about the industry upon the virgin soils of GamersWithJobs.com and took my liberties on the quivering optic nerves of our new readers.
Looking back at my very first GWJ post, "Valve Milks Cow, Plans Dead Horse Kick," within the short span of 2 paragraphs I both implied that Valve was not a viable development house and called their distribution platform "stream." Gross inaccuracy, truly you are and have ever been my faithful companion.
Such were the humble days of our launch: discussions of Unreal 2 going gold, the mind-boggling possibility of a merger between Square and Enix, and the sad, sinking, inescapable truth that Firefly was dead. With such unglad tidings as the wind beneath our disgusting baby-bird wings, it would have been no surprise at all to have not lasted the year.
Instead, it is eight years later. Firefly is still dead, I'm still wrong, and we're still going strong.
What always surprises me when I wander into the vault is the weird incongruity between how very different the site is now and how, in some ways, it hasn't really changed much at all. Looking through the comments of old articles, there are many long-lost friends, but also familiar faces. Though it was extraordinary to see an article's comments or forum post's replies reach into double digits even at the end of Year One, the site was built from the very beginning on the foundation of building community. I can only speak for myself, but I feel extremely certain and satisfied that this core foundation of Gamers With Jobs has remained steadfastly the law of the land every day since, and though we may never command the real estate of an IGN or your run of the mill pornography site, the tight-knit sense of belonging that comes from a site like this is so much better than all those piles and piles of money. This is what I tell every single repo man that comes to my door.
There is a lot of history in those 8 years: Half-Life 2 Source Code Stolen, Sway's Box, The Press Pass, GWJ Radio, The Post a Picture Thread, The Legend of Roo, The Pillow of Heterosexuality, Vanguard, The Banning of Derek Smart, The Weiner Bomb, dysfunctional relationships with Warren Spector, "Welcome Perverts," Cory's Rabbitcon Antics, Mex's various conquests, Dannon Light 'n Fit Smoothie Fanfic, and on and on and on it goes.
If you have not yet discovered the treasure trove of The Goodjer Commandments (http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/2...), then I am happy to have destroyed any productivity you may have hoped to squeeze out of Thursday.
As we enter year nine, there are now far too many people who deserve thanks and recognition. I will let it suffice to say that we have been impossibly fortunate to have been able to feature content from some of the best videogame writers anywhere. And to you, our faithful, occasionally disturbed readers, thanks for your support whether this is your first year or your eighth.
Rat Boy exists in some weird time frame in which he has now been a member for 7 years and 52 weeks. I'm certain this is not good.
Ah good times, good times.
My next epic thread prediction will be when Boogle and Mex meet in a Mexican border town and the world implodes as if matter and anti-matter met. God, here's to hoping they go to Boystown and then post all about it.
Congrats GWJ!
Congratulations! More good times to come.
Halfway to legal!
More "Welcome Perverts!"
Gross inaccuracy, truly you are and have ever been my faithful companion.
I enjoyed this line so much that I felt compelled to make my third(?) post in two years to say just how much I liked it.
Oh, and while I'm here. Congratulations! Despite my post count you've been destroying my productivity at work for several years.
I demand a toilet toss to celebrate.
the tight-knit sense of belonging that comes from a site like this is so much better than all those piles and piles of money.
Oh Elysium, that's really sweet but you don't have to lie to us.
I'm very grateful to the Penny Arcade post that brought me here for the first time, and I only wish it had happened years sooner.

We live to serve.
I've been here for almost 3 years, and it has become something akin to my home on the internet. The podcast is a great lure, but it's the community here that kicks so much ass!
Your work is both deeply appreciated and very necessary to the equilibrium of the Internet: one side, GWJ, almost everywhere else: ass-hat wasteland.
Here's to 8 more!
Congrats guys. Cannot believe it has been that long.
You have kept me sane at work even before I was a coffee grinder. Thank you Gamerswithjobs. May the next 8 years be as memorable as the first.
Congrats guy, thank you for all the hard work that has gone into this site.
That second paragraph is pure comedic gold. I love self-mockery, in others.
No, GWJ, I love YOU more.
You're welcome.
And thank you.
Gratz woot! And I'm not banned yet... wow!
Well, here's to eight more.
I can't even remember how long ago I started lurking. Five years? Six?

Looking forward to many more years. Cheers.
6 1/2 years here, thank Google for actually finding this place when typing in "adult video gamers" and "gaming for grown-ups," and something like "employed gamers". Interestingly the only results I got back then were I *think* 2old4this and, of course, gamerswithjobs.
Also up to 5 1/2 years of the XBLA thread. Wonder when/if I should let it die.
Woo congratz GWJ!
I've been following the website since day 1 I suppose, when Elysium and Certis used to post on EvAv, I followed them here. It's great to see it going strong after 8 years and I see pretty much the same faces from 8 years ago still around. It takes a lot of love and effort to keep people around for this long. We love you GWJ!
I feel old now.

regardless of the duration of your story, the mechanics are always the same.
Ideally, each story should have a beginning, middle and an end and answer the 5Ws and 1 H. Given that you intend to do several shorter pieces, you could do one more generic piece and several others, each of which could deal with a particular aspect of the fair that you and/or your audience might be interested in.
It seems like you should be able to put several interesting pieces together.
If you know anything about golf – and I presume that you do – if you answer the questions I outlined (What is this story about and what do I want to show you) it should be rather simple to come up with some interesting questions to ask. You can ask the equipment vendors about gear, the players about form and playing tips, the visitors about ther expectations for the new season, etc., etc.
From what I imagine you'll find there you should be able to put togteher some visually interesting and exciting stories. Try to put some nat sound pieces together.
I can already visualize dozens of stories. Try to imagine YOUR stories visually and that should help you figure out what to shoot.

Spring 16
Lyn Watts
Hi I'm Lyn! I am a junior at Smith College in Northampton MA, where I study Geoscience and have a minor in Translation Studies. I grew up in Syracuse NY, so Pune will be a bit of a shock temperature-wise. Despite the fact that I love the snow, I am excited to spend the spring semester in a (quite a bit) warmer climate.
I love reading and learning languages so I am ready to take on Hindi and Marathi. I am a big tea drinker and like exploring new foods. So what could be better than an entire semester of new Indian foods to try out?
I was bitten by the travel bug at an early age, so I love to travel and this semester is going to be nothing less than a fantastic adventure!

Losing is becoming more and more contagious in the NBA this season. If your team isn't the San Antonio Spurs or the Miami Heat, you may not be aware of this trend taking the league by storm.
It's called tanking, and it means losing games will eventually make your team good.
I know — the logic is sound — but there a number of NBA teams being accused of tanking this season in order to solidify lottery chances and have a better shot at the No. 1 overall pick in the draft come June.
Some of the teams that fit the mold are the Philadelphia 76ers, once losers of 26 games in a row before running into another tanker, the Detroit Pistons. Then there's the Milwaukee Bucks, a team with a worse record than the Sixers, as well as the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, and perhaps even the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans.
There are varying degrees of tanking among these bottom-feeders, from the overly terrible teams like Philadelphia, Detroit, and Milwaukee to the talent-laden teams like New Orleans and Cleveland that — for some reason or another — did not play as well as expected.
So let's give the Cavs and Pelicans a break; they've got some talent but they're records don't match accordingly. Let's give tanking credit where tanking credit is due: the NBA's pioneers.
Last-place Milwaukee is 14-60 as of April 2 with a 1-9 mark over its past 10 games. Now that's impressive.
Right behind Milwaukee are the Sixers. At a whopping 16-58 and after flirting with historical inadequacy, the team is a good bet to go defeated the rest of the year.
Then there's the Magic, Lakers, and Pistons, teams that have the ability to win games, but it's as rare as Halley's Comet. The Lakers gave us as soon as they knew Kobe Bryant invested in extra suits to wear on the bench, and the Pistons' puzzling offseason didn't pan out. Shocker.
As for Cleveland and New Orleans, both quality middle-of-the-pack teams (if such a thing exists): at this point, winning only hampers those teams' chances of getting a good draft pick, which may be a missing piece before the transform into legitimate contenders.
What all of these teams are hoping is that their losing pays off and results in a top pick in the draft — a chance at Kansas' Andrew Wiggins or Duke's Jabari Parker. Heck, they'll even settle for Julius Randle of Kentucky if they're stuck picking at No. 4 or 5.
Essentially, it's the most brilliant yet ironic strategy for winning ever thought of. Why would a team even try to compete when it knows at mid-season there's a chance it might not make the playoffs? Let's call it a season at the All-Star Break instead, and instead of game-planning how to make up ground on the No. 8 seeds the teams can focus all of its efforts on how to lose games, convincingly, and make a push for the top pick in the draft.
The creative part is that teams like New Orleans or Cleveland could easily be playoff teams in 2014-15 if they notched a top-five pick. But the 76ers or Pistons or Bucks — they are far more than just a Wiggins or Parker away from pulling off a 180. They'll need to tank for two or three more years, and land a boat-load of free agents, in order to reverse their fortunes. So I guess this is a long-term tanking strategy.
To me, it's just nonsense to sacrifice the sake of competitiveness in order to improve through the draft. Obviously, the tanking theory is not and cannot be proven, because no player, coach or member of an NBA front office will admit they're purposely losing games. But there tends to be substance to rumors such as these, and if that's the case, the NBA is in bad shape when half the league is vying for a Larry O'Brien Trophy and the other half is vying for Wiggins.

Fifteen years ago, she was Rikki Anderson, and she starred in a pornographic movie or two.
About five years ago, as Tericka Dye, she was suspended from her job as a school teacher at Reidland High School in Paducah, Ky., home to YouTube celebrity William Sled. The reason, obviously, was her past as a porn star. Unfortunately for Ms. Dye, though parents and teachers in Paducah stood by her, school officials just weren't ready (or willing?) to allow a former porn star to teach their students. Her contract wasn't renewed.
Once again, her porn star past has caught up with Ms. Anderson/Dye/Myers. Myers?
She changed her name to Tera Myers and moved to Missouri, where she got another job as a teacher in St. Louis County. And a student found out her past again, and this time she quit before she could be fired.
We're kinda wondering ... what's the big, screaming deal?! It's not like she's making movies currently, and even if she was, it's not like she's inviting the kids to watch, or join in. And it's not her fault somebody's kid was surfing porn on the Internet! And what's so wrong with being a porn star, anyway?!

JEFFREY BROWN: Thirty years ago, Wangari Maathai had a simple idea: To plant trees. It was a response to a growing problem affecting the lives of the poor in her native Kenya and many other areas of Africa and the developing world: The destruction of forests, soil erosion, water shortages and other types of environmental degradation.
Maathai had won a scholarship to attend college in the U.S. and earned a doctorate in biology in Kenya. In the '70s, she founded the Green Belt Movement, working with mostly poor, rural women, who were given a small stipend to plant saplings of native species.
She frequently led fights against state-backed land development and government corruption, and was once called a "mad woman" by Daniel Arap Moi, who ruled Kenya for more than two decades. Several times, she was beaten or arrested.
But her movement has led to the planting of some 30 million trees, provided jobs and income to thousands of women, and reached into other parts of Africa and the world.
NOBEL SPEAKER: Wangari Muta Maathai.
JEFFREY BROWN: In early December in a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, the 64-year-old Maathai became the first African woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. We spoke during a recent visit to New York.
When your name was first announced, some people wondered why an environmentalist should win the peace prize. What's the connection between the environment and peace?
WANGARI MAATHAI: Well, it's not surprising that people ask those questions, because this is not the normal area that the Norwegian Nobel Committee looks at. But it is, indeed, a very important shift that they made, because when you look at the world, what do fight… what do people fight over?
They are fighting over water. They are fighting over land. They are fighting over grazing ground, farming land. They are fighting over resources. And so managing these resources, which are limited on this planet, is very, very important. Sharing them equitably, at the national level especially, is very important.
JEFFREY BROWN: One of the things that struck me in reading your book about the Green Belt Movement is how your work is so connected to the everyday lives of women. I'm thinking of the fact that women have to walk much further to fetch wood because the forest just isn't there anymore.
WANGARI MAATHAI: It is important for people to understand that when I started, I did not start with that vision or with that obvious linkage that we are now celebrating.
I started simply to meet the needs of a group of rural women who were telling the women at the National Council of Women in the early '70s that they needed firewood, they needed food, they needed to stabilize their soils, they needed fencing materials, building materials, fodder for their animals.
In our part of the world, when the environment is degraded, when there is no firewood, when there is no water, when there is no food, it's usually the women who feel it first.
JEFFREY BROWN: And was there a lot of resistance to this attempt to give more power to women in your society?
WANGARI MAATHAI: Yes. To my surprise, there was resistance. And eventually, I understood that the reason why there was resistance is because a lot of these resources were actually in the hands of a few people who were governing the country.
They were the ones who were using the timber. They were the ones who were… who wanted to privatize the forest. They're the ones who were using… who were selling water or were controlling water. They're the ones who have the facilities in cities and urban centers.
JEFFREY BROWN: And this is what led you directly from the needs of the environment to the needs of democracy.
WANGARI MAATHAI: Definitely. That's when I realized that it is very difficult to protect the environment if you have bad governance any place; that you need governments that responded to the needs of the people; that you need governments that listen to their people.
But you also need people, citizens, who are sufficiently empowered not to fear their leaders, but be able to hold them accountable, to be able to demand that their environment be protected, to understand that some our human rights are environmental rights.
You have a right to a clean and healthy environment. You have a right to clean drinking water. You have a right to fresh air, and drink and eat food that is not polluted or that is not poisoned.
JEFFREY BROWN: In an election two years ago, Kenyan President Moi's party finally lost power. Wangari Maathai was voted into Kenya's parliament, and later joined the new government as assistant environment minister.
Recently, she's found herself in a new controversy after a Nairobi newspaper quoted from a talk she made to a group of constituents, in which she appeared to say that AIDS had been intentionally created by "evil scientists" to kill black Africans.
In a statement on her Web site, she says she meant only to "warn people against false beliefs and misinformation, such as attributing AIDS to a curse from God," and that she is "shocked" by the uproar.
WANGARI MAATHAI: I want to clearly say that I was completely misrepresented, that I didn't say that and I don't believe it. There are people who are experts. I would, I should really leave the discussions of the nature of the virus, where it came from, how it behaves, to the experts.
I'm not an expert. I do not claim any knowledge whatsoever. But I was completely quoted out of context, trying to respond to questions that people ask as you try to tell them how they should protect themselves.
JEFFREY BROWN: You know, in every article I read about you, you're described invariably as "outspoken," as "tough." There was a quote from one of your sons who said you have "fire on the inside." Where does that come from?
WANGARI MAATHAI: Well, I think that I am greatly inspired and I get fired also by the fact that I have had the privilege of studying in America for almost five and a half years. I internalized a lot, the need for freedom.
And so, for me, it was very difficult to go home, where I wanted now to share the experience that I had in America, and face my own people trying to curtail that freedom, trying to prevent me from expressing myself, sharing what I knew and teaching what I knew.
And I guess that is the fire that comes from within. I think I very much internalized that freedom, and you can't live in America and not have that.
JEFFREY BROWN: From when you started to now, have you seen great changes? Do you feel that you've been effective?
WANGARI MAATHAI: Well, I'm quite sure that I would have achieved much more in those 30 years if I had been supported by my government, if I had been given the freedom and the movement to be able to do that. But we definitely have achieved a lot.
And, most of all, you are dealing with people who are empowered, who feel that they can make a change in their own lives, within their own environments and utilizing the resources that they have around them. That's really wonderful. That transformation, that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction is really wonderful to see happening to other people.
JEFFREY BROWN: Wangari Maathai, congratulations again and thanks for talking to us.
WANGARI MAATHAI: Thank you very much for having me.

New Delhi: Petrol price may be hiked by about Re 1 a litre and diesel by 50 paise a litre by this weekend as oil firms begin to exercise the recently accorded freedom to adjust rates in step with cost.
State-owned oil firms are losing Rs 1.32 a litre on petrol as international oil rates have firmed up during the last two weeks. They intend to pass on most of the loss to consumer at the next review due on February 15.
Also, diesel prices may be increased by 40-50 paise a litre in line with the freedom given by the government last month to raise rates of India's most consumed fuel in small dozes every month till such time that the Rs 9.22 a litre loss is completely wiped out.
"Gasoline (petrol) prices in international market are rising. The trend shows that we will have under-recoveries (losses) on petrol," said R S Butola, Chairman of Indian Oil Corp, the nation's largest fuel retailer.
"We will review the prices at the fortnightly review (due on February 15)," he said. "We won't say there is no possibility (of a price increase) but I cannot say what we will decide in that review."

Kam Williams | 10/28/2009, 7:33 a.m.
Comedienne Mo'Nique started her showbiz career doing stand-up on a dare a couple of decades ago. From there, she gained visibility and immense popularity with performances on "Showtime at the Apollo," HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," "Apollo Comedy Hour" HBO's "Snaps," BET's "Comic View," The Montreal Comedy Festival and Uptown Comedy Club.
But her big break came in 1999, when she landed a starring role on the television series, "The Parkers." During the show's five-year run, Mo'Nique earned numerous awards, including four NAACP Image Awards as the Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series. Her film credits include "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins," "Two Can Play That Game," "Hair Show," "Baby Boy," "Soul Plane" and "Phat Girlz."
As a full-figured woman who has become a role model for many women, Mo'Nique wrote the best-selling book "Skinny Women Are Evil," as well as a follow-up entitled "Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted." She also created, produced and emceed "Mo'Nique's F.A.T. Chance," America's first full-figured, reality beauty pageant.
Struck by the skyrocketing number of women behind bars, she brought her act to a prison to tape a comedy special called "I Coulda Been Your Cellmate" which aired on TV before later being released on DVD. Then, she delved further into the issue as the host of "Mo'Nique: Behind Bars" for the Oxygen television network.
She recently spoke with the Banner about "The Mo'Nique Show," her new late-night talk show on BET, and her performance in the eagerly-anticipated film Precious, Lee Daniels' screen adaptation of Sapphire's novel, "Push."Hi Mo'Nique, thanks so much for the time.
Hey Kam! Thank you, baby!
Congratulations on the new TV show.
Thank you!
How would you describe the format? How are you dividing the time among monologues, interviews, and musical and other performances?
I can't give you those numbers, baby, because the show is so unpredictable. We're just having a great time.
What interested you in doing a talk show?
Well, I've always wanted to do a talk show. That was the whole focus from the very beginning. First, I thought it'd be like Oprah Winfrey, but the comedienne in me wouldn't let me do that. So, when my husband [Sidney Hicks] and I spoke with Loretha Jones [BET's President of Programming], we said, "We want to do late-night. We want to have a party."
When you mentioned Oprah, it reminded me that I told my readers I'd be interviewing you. And one of them, Laz Lyles, was wondering how much it means to you to have Oprah personally get behind the film in such a strong way.
It was a pleasure. She's a powerhouse. She's Oprah Winfrey. You know what that means. So, when she said, "I dig this," I was very appreciative of it.
Attorney Bernadette Beekman asks, how do you do it? You're already a mother, actress, author and comedienne, and now adding late night TV host. So, she wants to know how you keep sane and healthy and how you manage to juggle everything.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Yankees manager Joe Girardi challenged pitcher Phil Hughes to step up his work ethic, saying the pitcher wasn't in great shape before an injured filled 2011 season but reported in much better condition for spring training this year.
The 25-year-old right-hander was 5-5 last year after going 18-8 in 2010.
Hughes was scheduled for his first spring training appearance later Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton.
Says Girardi: "I think you can tell by the way he came into camp that there's a little bit more of an edge." The manager adds: "He knows that there is competition, and nothing is going to be handed to you."

The Who's Who of the Student Leadership Conference Attendees
June 13, 2011An overview of the CFI Student Leadership Conference attendees.
We're a little over a week away from the 2011 CFI Leadership Conference (and it's still not too late to sign-up). By this point, you've probably already seen our sweet list of guest speakers. While I'm excited for their talks, I'm even more excited to meet the students who will be in attendence. CFI affiliates are doing amazing things across the world and being able to interact with them at these conference is always one of the highlights. Here's a brief overview of some of the people you'll want to meet next week in Amherst.
Zack Kopplin: A recent high school graduate, Kopplin is a tireless science advocate in Louisiana. The "Louisiana Science Education Act" was a bill passed by Zack's state legislature in 2008 that brought creationism back into Louisiana schools. He decided to do something about it. Kopplin has led the charge to repeal the act – and he's found some success. The New Orleans city council endorsed the repeal, along with 55,000 Change.org petition signers and 43 Nobel Laureates. At the end of May, Kopplin was on Hardball to discuss his experience:
Jessica Ahlquist, Damon Fowler, and Harrison Hopkins: These three high school activists burst onto the national stage this year with establishment clause issues in their schools. Ahlquist has been fighting against a prayer posted in her school, while Hopkins and Fowler tried to keep prayer out of their graduation ceremonies. The three did an "ask me anything" on Reddit about their experiences.
Conrad Hudson of the KU Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA): Conrad is the President of Kansas's CFI affiliate group and a newly elected board member of the Secular Student Alliance. This year, his group started a new event – ReasonFest – that brought out hundreds of students for a variety of speakers. The opening debate between Dan Barker and a School of Faith instructor had over 500 in attendance.
Cory Derringer, Stef McGraw, and Aaron Friel of the University of Northern Iowa Freethinkers and Inquirers (UNIFI): Last year's recipients of the Secular Student Alliance's "Best Affiliate" award and CFI's "Best Activism" award, UNIFI returns to the conference this year with three attendees. 2011's Darwin Week event was the most successful of the three the group has hosted as they continue to grow and expand their activities.
Sean and Nicole Gillespie of the Air Capital Skeptics: Remember the Rapture Day event that garnered all the press attention? Here's the group responsible for it. Despite being relatively new, the Air Capital Skeptics have quickly become a large and successful On Campus affiliate.
Katie Hartman of Skepticon: Katie is the co-organizer of the Midwest's largest skeptic conference, Skepticon. Last year the event brought in 1000 people and boasted 15 speakers including James Randi. She's already well on her way to planning Skepticon IV in November.
James Croft of The Humanist Graduate Community at Harvard: Croft is the social chair of The Humanist Graduate Community at Harvard, where he is a candidate for an Ed.D in Human Development and Education. He's "an Assistant Editor at The New Humanism and a Contributing Scholar for State of Formation (an interfaith community blog), as well as the creator of Temple of the Future, a website dedicated to reviving and reimagining Humanism for the 21st Century."
These names are just the start. The conference will be full of students with interesting stories and experiences. Don't miss your chance to be a part of it.

Families with small children might want to consider using a private plane. It is not for everyone, but for the ones who can afford it, it is the best way to travel to an airport. Private jets are usually much smaller then commercial planes. They come in different sizes. A larger jet might hold up to nineteen travelers. There is room for baggage and so that is not a thought. Families often have small children who get restless on planes and can be noisy and make other passengers uncomfortable. Not to worry on your own plane, make as much noise as you want. A private jet can offer food and beverages to its clients at anytime they need or want them. No more long waits. The best part of the trip will be when you arrive fresh and ready to go at your destination. Private jets take all the stress out of travel.
If you plan to take a trip whether it be a business trip or just a trip for you and some buddies you may want to look into hiring jets if you hope on taking a group of people. The benefits of flying a charter jet rather than regular jets to an airport is the luxury and you don't have to stand in line waiting to be seated you can just go from your automobile right to the plane. Decide which businesses you want to depart from be sure to find the best one that is suited for you and your group. When you find the right company you then want to schedule your flight. Since you do not need to check and baggage for your trip you can simply show up and walk to the jet. The plane is only going to be flying you and your guest so no waiting in line.
There are numerous things to consider when choosing a rental company. Others may say and think that it is a simple and easy task, but in fact, it is a difficult process. First of all, one must locate a charter company that is reputable and trust-worthy. Ask your friends or your family members for their suggestion or you can also look in the web for reviews regarding charter companies. Once you have decided on a business, you should ask them for documents like safety records, operating certificate, and insurance just to name a few. In addition, it is also important to ask the company how often their pilots get simulator training. In that way, you can be assured that your life, and those who will ride with you in the private jet plane to an airport, is in good hands. It is still better to be safe than sorry.
Despite the economy chartering a private place for those important meetings or vacations is still big business. If this is an occasional occurrence then you want to look at your calculated flight costs including area and mileage. In this way you can do well from deciding which type will give you more flight time for your dollar. However, if your renting a private jet on more than an occasional flight to an airport then you might want to check into a fractional ownership program. With this type of program you will need to book further in advance unless you are with a very well established charter system, but you will save a lot over the course of your frequent flying. Another charter program which is gaining popularity is the membership program which grants you availability up to 4 hours in advance. Do your research on each charter program for the best system for your needs.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Springfield, MO, United States, 2009/03/05 - TransCore has announced that Smart Lines, LLC, a nationally certified freight broker, has upgraded to its Logistics Suite transportation management system (TMS) for freight brokers with a goal to improve productivity by more than 20 loads a week.
Operating excellence is more than a catch phrase for Greg Roush, president and owner of Smart Lines who relies on technology tools and customer service to achieve the excellence for which he strives. Weve been using TransCore since our companys inception in 2002, said Roush.
We chose TransCore because they came highly recommended and because the software was designed specifically for brokers. Our experience has been so positive that migrating from TransCores UNIX-based TMS to Logistics Suite was a really easy decision.

The Los Angeles Galaxy, which came within penalty kicks of winning the MLS Cup last year, will have to learn to compete without its two biggest stars if it is going to remain a contender.
Landon Donovan, who scored 12 goals as the league's most valuable player in 2009, will start in Saturday night's season opener against the New England Revolution. Donovan returns from a successful 10-week loan with Everton.
But Donovan also will play a major role for the United States in the World Cup and will miss time with the Galaxy as a result. Donovan will join the U.S. squad in May for preliminary exhibitions before traveling to South Africa.
David Beckham, meanwhile, could miss the entire season with a torn left Achilles' tendon that will keep him from playing in his fourth World Cup for England.
Those absences, combined with the age of veterans Eddie Lewis, Chris Klein, Jovan Kirovski and Clint Mathis, mean opportunity - and pressure - for such young players as Chris Birchall, Bryan Jordan, Mike Magee and Michael Stephens.
"It's been a surprise to us how he has fit in so well so early," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said of Stephens, a first-round draft choice from UCLA.
Edson Buddle also must increase his offensive output. Buddle scored five goals in an injury-marred 2009, a year after amassing a career-high 15 goals.
"I think staying healthy is important," said Buddle, who missed 11 league games because of foot and calf injuries. "Once I'm able do that and stay on the field, I think the opportunities will be there. It's just up to me to put them away."
Defensively, the Galaxy appears solid behind goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and a back line featuring Omar Gonzalez, the MLS rookie of the year in 2009, World Cup veteran Gregg Berhalter and Todd Dunivant. Those four helped the Galaxy concede just 31 goals last year, compared to 62 in 2008.
Adding to the Galaxy's depth are three young Brazilians acquired on loan from perennial power Sao Paulo: defenders Alex Cazumba and Leonardo, and midfielder Juninho.
"Honestly, it feels like they've been a part of our team for a long time," Donovan said. "When you have a nucleus like we do now, you can fit pieces in quite easily."
That nucleus will provide the foundation for any success the Galaxy might have this year, Donovan said.
"This is my first time in all the years I've been here that we've had almost the same team back," said Donovan, who joined the Galaxy in 2005. "I think it makes a big difference. I think there's a lot of good things for us to come this year."

Are OMP exhausts any good?
i had an omp group n exhaust on my golf for a while. it was loud but pretty well built
I also had a Group N OMP one, but it was on an Alfa 33 16v, god it sounded good at full chat!
Even popped on the over run in 5th on the motorway, I miss that car...
ooooh yes, a really good 4cyl bark from that exhaust. i think i had that for 8k or 9k miles but eventually couldnt live with that amount of noise.
I've got an OMP backbox on my A4. First one fell apart inside and got replaced under warranty. Second one seems okay so far, but sounds completely different to the first one. Not bad for the money I suppose.
Separate names with a comma.

Getting Closer – LA Strategic Plan heads for Council Approval 4/1/11
March 25, 2011 Leave a comment
Earlier this month, there was a advocacy alert regarding a Citywide Safe Routes to School Proposal that was being considered by the Los Angeles Transportation Committee. Thanks to all the great supporters such as Transportation for America, FAST, Sierra Club, Safe Moves, Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition and so many more individuals – this proposal was approved by the Committee and now moves for final approval by the full City Council Friday 4/1/11 at 10am at City Hall.
This is tremendous opportunity for the City of Los Angeles to demonstrate great leadership by prioritizing safety and strategic transportation investments that will allow the city to address one of the most vulnerable groups of our population, children and young adults.
The proposed Strategic City-Wide Safe Routes to School Plan funded by the Measure R local return pedestrian set-aside for $1.2M. LADOT staff is recommending using collision data to prioritize the city's efforts and develop a meaningful approach to making communities in the city more walkable and bikable for kids and parents on their way to school (see staff proposal here). Los Angeles Bicycle Coalition and the Safe Routes to National Partnership are recommending that the City also use socio-economic data in the prioritization as we know that children and their families in low-income communities suffer a disproportionate burden of disease and injury.
A citywide strategic Safe Routes to School plan will allow the City to prioritize and methodically address making it safer for students to walk and/or bike to school, as well as ensure Safe Routes to School funds succeed in Los Angeles, leverage additional resources, and address and improve transportation policies.
We need your help to make sure Los Angles City Council knows how important this proposal is for all city neighborhoods. The current process for how the city develops and applies for Safe Routes to School State and Federal Funds, happens on a case by case basis, we need a plan that is equitable, rooted in data and planning and increases quality of project proposals and competitiveness. Sign on to our comment letter regarding this proposal, you can read it here and then send your name, title, organization to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5pm Thursday March 31st. We need lots of support – please consider signing on to this letter, individuals are welcome too. There is a draft letter for community members to send to their City Council member too – you can view it here. If you can attend in person on Friday 4/1/11 10am at Los Angeles City Hall and provide your comments, that is fantastic!
And then for those in the LA Region – it will give even more reasons to go out and have tons of fun at the City's Second cicLAvia on Sunday April 10th. I know I'll be there having fun – hope to see you too!

Serious and subtly life-altering already. Giving me answers to questions I didn't know I needed to be asking about the history of the church and the trinity and why those ancient buildings are called basilicas and cathedrals. Who know? Certainly I did not.
I am taking two classes. One is The History of Christianity 1 - from the days of the apostles through the Reformation. The other is The Christian Life - which parallels the timetable of the history class and considers the faith practices and rules of living that faith communities have practiced over the history of the Christian church. A lot of reading and writing.
But if you have been a reader of this blog for any length of time, you know I am a geek. I love to read and write and so seminary is going to be a gift I give to myself - before I get to give the gifts gained to others. A dear friend of mine recently told me to study hard, to read and write well, to do everything I need to do to prepare to serve all the people that God will bring my way, all the people I will meet and serve. I love her perspective - this is a time of training and preparation that I get to go through in order to be better equipped to love and support and learn in future places and times of ministry.
One of the gifts you all have given me, Linda K most recently, is the support and kindness and encouragement that reminds me that I am already doing work to serve others. I am already praying and teaching and listening to stories and telling stories and asking questions and learning more about what needs to be done to bring justice and peace to more people and places and communities here in Charlotte and elsewhere.
The question is, knowing all that we know now, how now will we live?
What will we do? What will I do? (I guess that's more than one question...)
I had the honor of participating with Dr West and my senior pastor, Pen Peery, during the time of question and answers following the talk. Here is a link to our church website and a video of the talk and conversation we had. Make yourself some tea and grab a few cookies to dunk into the tea. It's long. But oh so good.
Briefly, our photo will serve as the profile photo for the church's Facebook page.
It was a glorious night. Such an honor to meet Dr West.
Sitting with him at the end felt like a conversations with a friend
while others watched, listened, and contributed questions to ask my friend.
He talked about individuals and churches and all the rest of us being on fire for justice and integrity.
Not being driven or motivated by buying and selling and status and position, but rather by love and justice.
I came away asking - Where am I using my energy and my resources?
Where is my anger and indignation at suffering and evil?
What I say matters much less than what I do.
He gave us much to consider - and showed us how much we need to do.
Towards the end of our conversation, he said, "The fight for justice is not a fad or a fashion. It is a way of life."
What a powerful challenge to not go back to being "well adjusted to injustice." We are outraged when tragedies happen - Sandy Hook and Ferguson and Baltimore and Hurricane Katrina and Mother Emanuel Church. We get upset - and rightfully so. We ask for help to understand our nation's horrific history of homicide and racism and inequity. But then we go back to our regularly scheduled consumerism and self-promotion and forget that so many still suffer and will continue to suffer until we, until I am willing to stand up, to speak up, and to change my way of life. For good.
In the meantime -
My daughter comes home from college for her fall break this weekend.
I have to write a paper on Communion before Saturday morning.
Tomorrow is the day I welcome guests to our Loaves and Fishes pantry.
There is another We Walk Together Charlotte walk tomorrow morning.
I am excited about our upcoming Fall Fest @ First. It will take place on October 18th, 4-6 pm at First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte. Please join us for food trucks, pumpkin decoration, face painting, music by Tyrone Jefferson and A Sign of the Times. Bring canned food to donate to a local food pantry. We will create a book of prayers and messages of support and hope for Mother Emanuel AME Zion Church in Charleston where those nine church members were killed by a visitor. I recently found out that he had visited the church and attended Bible studies there several times. That fateful night back in June was not his first visit. He was welcomed by his hated victims; he almost couldn't go through with it, he said, because they were so kind to him. We cannot forget those who still mourn - and we hope our small and imperfect efforts will show them that they have not been forgotten.
For now, however, I need to get some sleep.
Life is a whirlwind these days - but in a great way.
Thanks be to God.

My name is Dave Windels and I'm a police officer for the city of Elk River. I was also recently assigned as the department's traffic safety coordinator, so I'd like to take some time to address the readers on the importance of seat belt and child safety seat usage.
The primary seat belt law went into effect in Minnesota on June 9, 2009. This means that a law enforcement officer may stop you solely for operating your passenger vehicle without wearing your seat belt, or if other occupants are not wearing theirs. Definitions of a passenger vehicle are passenger automobile, pickup truck, van and a commuter van. There are some exclusions to the law as well, which include buses, limousines, vehicles manufactured prior to Jan. 1, 1965, emergency vehicles and taxis.
Minnesota state law requires that children age 7 and under be restrained in an appropriate, federally approved car seat or booster seat, unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller. Car seats must be installed and used according to manufacturer's instructions.
Minnesota law also requires that infants under 1 year of age and weighing less than 20 pounds must ride in a rear-facing car seat. The state of Minnesota suggests that compliance with car seat safety law is a minimum safety standard, and suggests that children remain in a booster seat to 80 pounds and remain in the back seat until age 13.
Currently in Sherburne County, the fine amount after surcharges for not wearing your seat belt, or for not having your child properly secured in their booster or safety seat is $110.
Several people still believe that it is their right whether or not they want to wear their seat belt when they are in their vehicles, but the fact is, it has been proven that the use of seat belts saves lives and significantly reduces the chances of sustaining injuries if you are wearing it and are involved in a crash.
Without your seat belt on, the chance of injury or death rises if you are involved in a crash. In fact, traffic fatalities are the No. 1 cause of death in the United States for people ages 1–35, not to mention that 75 percent of teens killed in crashes annually were not wearing their seat belts. As parents, you must make it mandatory for your children who are licensed to drive to buckle their seat belts before the key meets the ignition and to leave it on until the key comes out!
Not only does the risk of injury or death rise if you are not wearing your seat belt if you are in a crash, but the cost of the crash itself rises, too. The average cost of an injury crash is $125,000 and the cost of a fatality is $1 million. In Minnesota in 2010 there were 182,672 reported crashes. 31,176 were injury-related and 411 were fatalities. I don't even want to do the math on costs for all those crashes, but the next paragraph should help you understand a little better why it costs as much as it does.
Officers, deputies and troopers must investigate crashes, EMS crews get called out to tend to victims, tow truck operators are summoned to the scene to haul away the mangled vehicles, nurses and emergency room doctors must treat the victims, fire department personnel are called out, helicopters with crews along with accident reconstructionists are sometimes needed, insurance companies must pay out for damages, employers lose money in production and absenteeism if one of their employees are involved in a crash on or off the job, and even family members of victims may have to take time off to care for their loved ones, losing time and money in the process.
Tragically, funeral directors and coroners are sometimes called out to transport people to the medical examiner's office, or someone is unfortunately injured so badly that they must be placed in assisted living facilities and nursing homes for the rest of their days, receiving everyday care from health care professionals.
Consider how much you alone might pay, through taxes, over the course of someone else's lifetime after they have been involved in a life-changing crash and do not have health insurance to support themselves financially, or perhaps even if they do and their provider determines they have met their limit. Unfortunately, law enforcement officers cannot request to see a health insurance card when we make traffic stops, so we have to be fair and consistent to everyone we encounter operating or riding in vehicles without seat belts. Though traffic crashes are very costly, costs, injuries, and fatalities can be prevented or reduced by simply buckling up. Our goal is to reduce the numbers in the above listed categories through education and enforcement. Our ultimate goal in Minnesota is 'Toward Zero Deaths." If you don't wear your seat belt, your goal should be to start wearing your seat belt because of education, not enforcement, and to pass your new goal onto others who don't wear their seat belts, either.
Our current percentage of seat belt use is around 84 percent. Traffic safety personnel would like to see this number climb to 90 percent, and ultimately to 100 percent. Elk River officers, Sherburne County sheriff's deputies, Big Lake officers, Becker officers, Princeton officers and state troopers work saturations throughout the year and focus on different areas of traffic safety in specific locations within Sherburne County. The October wave of seat belt enforcement is currently under way and officers, deputies and troopers will be out on the roadways working enhanced enforcement shifts. The remaining saturations in Sherburne County are on Oct. 25 and 26 between the hours of 4 and 8 p.m. If you are spotted by a law enforcement officer in a vehicle on a public roadway, I assure you that you will learn the definition of "Click it or Ticket." Please feel free to check out the listed websites for additional information and statistics at www.sherburnecrashdwi.com or www.minnesotatzd.org.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope you already wear your seat belt whenever you are in a vehicle, but if you don't, I sincerely hope you start. Injuries and deaths stemming from crashes can be prevented. Take the steps to avoid being a negative statistic and remember our goal of 'Toward Zero Deaths" because zero means zero. It doesn't mean 100. It doesn't mean 50. It doesn't mean one because that one is someone to someone else. — Dave Windels, Elk River Police Department
Officer offers many more than 110 reasons to wear seat belts
My name is Dave Windels and I'm a police officer for the city of Elk River. I was also recently assigned as the department's traffic safety coordinator, so I'd like to take some time to address the readers on the importance of seat belt and child safety seat usage.

So, Venezuela issues US$ 1.5 billion in a ten year bond in cash and exchange deal with a coupon of 8.5% and a price of 95%. This implies a yield to maturity below Venezuela�s Global 27 bond which is thirteen years longer. The new bond immediately jumps to between 98-99%, the yield settling to where it should be in the country�s curve, giving a tidy profit to those that participated in the deal, particularly the cash part. The deal had changes in deadlines such that some people were left out. Should I think there is something funny about it? Nah! Just the robolution trying to please Wall Street investors. There could never have been any inside information, no way!
What should we call this: Mision Wall Street?

You've got to love living in the place everyone else wants to be.
This time of year, baseball fans and sun lovers are booking trips to Arizona, where picture-perfect weather, carpets of spring wildflowers and Cactus League baseball make everyone else jealous that we live here.
Fifteen major league baseball teams play in 10 Valley stadiums for the next four weeks, giving us ample chances to grab a hot dog and a beer with family or friends, take the kids to their first game, or just work on our suntans. It's the greatest concentration of professional baseball facilities found anywhere in the United States, according to the Cactus League.
And if there was ever a year not to let what can seem commonplace pass you by, this is the one.
2013 is the last chance to watch the Chicago Cubs at Mesa's Hohokam Stadium; next season, they'll play in new digs at the old Riverview Park site at Dobson Road and Red Mountain Loop 202.
In turn, the Oakland A's will move into Hohokam, vacating Phoenix Municipal Stadium, a simple but endearing park that hearkens back to the old days of baseball, before things got so big and expensive. Reminiscent of a Midwest minor league field, it's the kind of place where you can get close to players.
And for the complete opposite experience, there are locals who haven't yet taken in the still new-ish Salt River Fields, a beautiful, scaled-down version of big league monstro-stadiums.
A string of night games begins Tuesday, March 7, making it easier for working locals to live like the tourists. Day games abound, too.
For links to team schedules and a map of stadiums go to EVTnow.com/springtraining.
