After stops at Rainbow Row and the Old Exchange, you will shoot through the French Quarter and Ansonborough ending your tour back at Marion Square.
This tour is perfect for the active traveler, but participants shouldn't be intimidated by the length or pace of the jog. Charleston Steeplechase caters the tour to accommodate all running abilities.
Tips for your run: Need a new pair of sneakers? Put your best foot forward with a stop at Sneaker on King Street. After your breezy tour of Charleston, refresh and refuel with a Super Green Smoothie from The Daily. For lunch, look no further than Kitchen 208.

Renovation at Circa 1886 Restaurant 13 Feb 2015, 12:02 pm
Circa 1886 Restaurant, located in the carriage house of the Wentworth Mansion, celebrated its 15th anniversary this January. To honor this exciting time, the restaurant underwent a makeover breathing new life into the 19th century building. The renovation boasts enhancements to every room in the restaurant, from structural changes to design updates.
Designer Pam Plowden took great care in updating the space while retaining the charm, character, and architectural details of the historic space. Inspired by the colors and textures of Charleston, each room has been renovated with a breathtaking new look. Reminiscent of the colors in a lowcountry marsh scene, the restaurant features lighter, more neutral tones, with a few pops of blue and green.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with original carriage house floors and tiled slate surrounding the bar. Diners will find a granite bar top that perfectly contrasts the new color palate in the room.
Architectural lighting, an intricate tiled stone wall, and banana leaf wallpaper compliment the woodwork throughout the restaurant. Three additional highly requested booths have been added to the popular wine room. The booths now feature contemporary fabric and natural textures while carrying the new color scheme throughout the restaurant.
Showcasing classic Charleston scenes, black and white photographs are displayed throughout the restaurant. From broad landscapes of Charleston to textured images of sweetgrass and Spanish moss, the photographs are peaceful and serene.
In addition to the new look, Chef Marc Collins has launched a new menu. The Carolina Gold Rice and Popcorn Cake with Blue Crab and Rock Shrimp is the perfect way to start your dinner. Early entree favorites are the Fried Catfish with Truffled Mac and Cheese and the locally sourced Keegan-Filion Pork Chop with Heart of Palm puree.
Don't wait to make your reservation. Come see our new look and try our new menu today! Click here to make your reservation or call 843-853-7828.

Crosstalk cancellation is critical to rendering of binaural signals using loudspeakers. This study explores three different inversion techniques for selecting the optimum parameter for crosstalk filter applied to over 200 loudspeaker configurations. To obtain optimum parameters the bandwidth, filter length, and regularization constant were varied for each configuration and method. Results were dependent on the method, span angles, and filter length.

Audit Commission green flag recognises innovative work with Leeds business community
Audit Commission green flag recognises innovative work with Leeds business community.
The unique work that Leeds City Council and Leeds Ahead are doing to engage businesses in public and community work, has been recognised and applauded with a major national award from the Audit Commission announced today.
The coveted Green Flag follows the Audit Commission's Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) of more than 800 public services across England. It recognises the innovative way in which the council and Leeds Ahead have involved businesses in projects that have encouraged enterprise, improved skills and attainment and raised the aspirations. Leeds Ahead had previously won a cash prize in the Yorkshire Forward Creating Better Futures Awards in April 2009.
Leeds Ahead has engaged with nearly 200 businesses of all sizes across the city. They have invested more than £500,000 and donated 13,000 hours of voluntary support, through 460 separate projects. The work has helped more than 12,000 of the 75,000 most deprived people in the city, while the businesses have become valued members of local communities.
The CAA report issued by the Audit Commission, says: "Before 2007, businesses helped support local communities in an uncoordinated way. The Leeds Ahead approach has ensured that support is better directed to what is important for local people. Relationships with local communities are long-term, rather than one-off.
"Businesses have better ownership and understanding of local needs. Employees stay in their jobs for longer, businesses are financially stronger and have better links with local partners. As a result, businesses enjoy better goodwill and reputation benefiting local people and the places in which they live."
Stephanie Burras, Leeds Ahead Chief Executive, said:
"The public, private and voluntary sectors in Leeds have shown what can be achieved through working together to tackle fundamental issues that impact on future prospects.
"By acting as a unique link between all three, it is our role to ensure that the city maximizes every opportunity to unlock its potential and, with the Audit Commission's report highlighting the importance of this work, we hope that more and more businesses and organisations will become involved."
The CAA report highlights a number of areas in which projects and initiatives brokered by Leeds Ahead have enabled businesses to help in narrowing the gap between the city's haves and have nots. Including:
- Coaching by staff from a city law firm that has enabled a south Leeds college to dramatically improve its GCSE results.
- Mentoring schemes that have increased the participation of young people in positive activities, improved school attendance rates and attitudes to learning, with higher aspirations for achievement, work, careers and enterprise, offering to break cycles of deprivation and reliance on state benefits.
- Working with prisoners to engage them in the world of work, find employment and so contribute to local society.
- Supporting economic regeneration by providing opportunities for work experience, and training to improve general work, entrepreneurial and business management skills.
- Helping community development projects to increase local project design and delivery skills.
- Working with Leeds City Council's own employees on a volunteering programme that has increased engagement with, and understanding, of the needs of people in deprived areas, improving the prospects, community cohesion and confidence of many people in the most disadvantaged communities in Leeds and helping marginalized groups to become reintegrated.
- Assisting families in poverty by giving them the opportunity to become more independent and financially secure, while giving them greater pride, sense of belonging and achievement in their local communities.
Cllr Richard Brett, joint leader and executive member responsible for closing the gap between the wealthier parts of Leeds and the more deprived areas said:
"It is fantastic news to receive this Green Flag award and credit should go to all those businesses and people who have helped make this scheme a success. It is very encouraging to know that this work has been officially recognised and is something other councils could benefit from.
"Leeds Ahead plays a vital role in helping to close the gap in our city between the more successful and wealthier parts of Leeds and those areas that are more economically disadvantaged.
"The scheme continues to support the economic regeneration of the more deprived parts of the city and help build skills and create opportunities for those who would otherwise not have them."

Paris Junior High is the 7th and 8th grade campus in the Paris Independent School District in Paris, Texas.
Paris High School Student Crime Stoppers will be hosting a fundraising Jail-A-Thon. This is a fun event that has been used successfully by Crime Stoppers program across North America to raise money necessary to operate a program and pay rewards for information that helps solve real campus crimes including bullying.
From 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. Wednesday March 11th, 2015, at PHS cafeteria, community members will volunteer to spend time in a makeshift jail to help the Student Crime Stoppers raise money. Local politicians, high school staff members, and local business leaders will be required to raise bail money to get out of jail. All of the bail money raised will go to support the PHS Student Crime Stoppers Program.
The community will have the opportunity to have a colleague or employer "arrested" for a good cause. In order to have someone arrested, you must purchase a warrant. Warrant fees are $50.
We will transport the "inmate" to PHS jail where they will be arraigned by a student judge and bail set. They must then call on others in order to raise their bail money to be released.
The "inmates" will be served lunch in the cafeteria prepared by Assistant Athletic director Chad Helberg.
For warrant information, please email Shonda Ragsdale (email@example.com) or Officer Joey McCarthy (email@example.com) or call them at 903-737-7400.
It's voluntary, it's fun, and it's a great way to support a good cause!!

Energy policy in Kansas depends on geography, natural energy resources, how electricity is generated, how much energy consumers use, politics and the influence of groups such as environmental and industry organizations. Decisions by policymakers, such as state and local governments, utilities and regulatory agencies, affect all citizens economically and environmentally, and are generally geared toward providing reliable, affordable energy. The cost of energy affects not only home heating and electricity bills, and thus disposable income, but also economic growth, including jobs, investment and the cost of doing business in the state.
How energy is produced and consumed also has an impact on the environment and pollution. Energy policy in Kansas works to incentivize renewable energy in the state despite the abundant amount of traditional energy resources in the state. As the infrastructure for producing and delivering renewable energy sources is not as advanced as it is for energy generation from traditional sources, these policies often require subsidies to make the produced energy affordable, and their effects are difficult to measure.
Energy policy involves trade-offs between providing an affordable, consistent energy supply on the one hand, and limiting pollution and protecting the environment, on the other. How states attempt to balance these two differs between states, and often boils down to costs to consumers versus costs to the environment. This article provides general energy information about the state as the context within which energy policy is made, as well as information about major legislation and public and private groups that play a role in setting energy policy in the state.

Energy overview
State facts
Below are quick facts about Kansas's energy climate.
- is a net electricity importer.
- has fossil fuels in the form of oil, natural gas andcoal.
- has renewable energy in the form of wind and ethanol.
- has the second highest wind energy potential in the nation, only behind Texas.
- produces the ninth most crude oil in the nation.
- oil makes up about two percent of the nation's total.[4]
In Kansas
- the Hugoton is one of the largest natural gas fields in the United States.
- eight percent of the energy in 2011 was produced from wind.
- 74 percent of electricity in 2011 was produced from coal-fired plants.
- the industrial sector, which includes manufacturing, is the largest energy consumer.
- there are twelve ethanol plants.[4]
Available energy resources
Kansas has traditional energy resources in the form of oil, coal and natural gas. In 1892 oil]was found near Neodesha, Kansas, which was considered to be the first discovery of oil west of the Mississippi. Kansas is a major oil-refining state, and they typically account for about two percent of the nation's total. The Hugoton Gas Area, which is located within the border of three states, including Kansas, is the largest natural gas reserve in the United States. While coal was prevalent in Kansas in the late nineteenth-century, there is only one remaining coal mine in the state.[4]
Kansas produces the second most wind energy potential in the United States; only Texas produces more. Wind energy accounts for nearly all the renewable energy resources in the state. Kansas typically ranks in the top twelve in wind energy production. Solar energy production in Kansas has yet to be developed despite the fact that it is one of the sunniest states in the country. Kansas is one of the leading ethanol producers in the country. The ethanol production in the state generally comes from corn and milo. The states combined ethanol capacity is about 500 gallons from twelve active plants.[4]
Consumption and prices
As shown on the pie chart in 2011 over one third of Kansas's energy use was in the industrial sector, including manufacturing. A quarter was consumed in the transportation sector. The residential and commercial sectors each consume about one-fifth of the state's total energy.
Most of the energy used in the state is from petroleum, followed by coal and natural gas. Petroleum is used primarily in the form of gasoline in Kansas, which is typically below the national average.[5][6] According to the EIA, the federal excise tax is 18.40 cents/gallon of gasoline and 24.40 cents/gallon of diesel fuel. In addition to that, Kansas collects a total tax of 25.03 cents on every gallon of gasoline and gasohol fuel, and 27.03 cents per gallon of diesel fuel, which ranks it at the 25th highest in the United States.[7][8]
Comparisons tables
The table below compares Kansas's consumption and spending for energy, as well as prices for natural gas and electricity, and carbon emissions to those of Nebraska, which has similar population, resources and consumption needs because of climate and geography. Also given are the U.S. averages and the state rankings. All rankings are from highest to lowest, so, for example:
- Kansas's rank of 28th in carbon emissions means that carbon emissions are somewhat similar in Kansas and in Nebraska, which has a ranking of 37th.
- Per capita income in Kansas is similar to Nebraska, which at 21st ranks 4 places above Kansas's ranking of 25th in per capita income.
- These two states are similarly ranked on total spending on energy.
- Per capita energy consumption in Kansas (at 12th) is similar than in Nebraska (at seventh).
- Per per capita spending in Kansas is similar to Nebraska because it ranks 14th to Nebraska's ranking of 11.

Production and transmission
Kansas produced 780.1 BTU of energy in 2011. Of that, nearly half came from natural gas. About 30 percent came from crude oil. Nuclear accounted for about one tenth. Coal, biofuels and what the U.S. Energy Information Administration classifies as 'other' renewable energies also contributed.[9]

Electricity produced in Kansas is primarily from coal, which accounts for just over one half of the total. Nuclear and what the U.S. Energy Information Administration classifies as "other renewables" each account for just over one-fifth of electricity generation in Kansas. Petroleum accounts for a minimal amount of total electricity generation in Kansas. In Kansas, net electricity generation exceeds consumption making the state an electricity exporter.[4]

Energy policy
- See also: Fracking in Kansas
Energy policy is made, executed and influenced by many organizations, both public and private, and is codified in the laws and regulations of the state. According to the "2013 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard" published by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), Kansas is tied with Alabama, Kentucky and South Carolina ranking 39th in energy efficiency with a score of 11.5 out of 50.[11]
Kansas is not on track to reach the goal of renewable energy set by the state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) that requires investor-owned and cooperative utilities to obtain 20 percent of electricity from renewable sources by the year 2020. Electricity prices are 40 cents per kilowatt hour higher in Kansas than in states with no mandatory renewable energy goals.[12]
In 2010, The Kansas Corporation Commission created rules and regulations for administration of the state's Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard. This standard is not based on retail electricity sales but rather generating capacity, which can be from any of several renewable energy resources.[4]
There are differing estimates about the economic impact of these mandates in terms of costs that may affect prices and jobs, as well as the impact on the environment and pollution. Thus, for example, there are many new studies of what is called the "rebound effect" which refers to the fact that "some of the theoretically estimated gains in energy efficiency will be eroded as consumers consume additional goods and services."[13][14]
Major legislation
- K.S.A. 66-1256, (2009) or the "Renewable Energy Standards Act" instituted a Renewable Portfolio Standard RPS in the state of Kansas. "This statute requires the state's investor-owned and cooperative utilities to generate or purchase 10 percent of their electricity from eligible renewable resources in the years 2011-2015, 15 percent in the years 2016-2019, and 20 percent by 2020."[15]
- Kansas Statute 58-3801 et seq. allows parties to enter voluntary solar easement agreements for the purpose of ensuring proper access to sunlight. These easements "must be expressed in writing and recorded with the register of deeds for that county."[16]
- Kansas Statutes 66-1263, et seq. (2009) established "net metering for customers of investor-owned utilities in Kansas." The net metering applies to systems that have a rated capacity of 25 kilowatts or less for residential and 200 kilowatts or less for non-residential customers. It applies to Cloud County and Dodge City community colleges for systems with a capacity of less than 1.5 megawatts. It "applies to systems that generate electricity using solar, wind, methane, biomass or hydro resources and to fuel cells using hydrogen produced by an eligible renewable technology."[17]
- Kansas Statute 66-117 (e) allows a return rate for capital investments for energy efficiency of 0.5 percent to 2 percent more than the previous rate. The Kansas Corporation Commission is in charge of considering proposals from utilities on a case-by-case basis.[18]
Government agencies and committees
- The Kansas State Legislature has one joint committee that review energy issues the Energy and Environmental Policy Committee. The Kansas State Senate has a ten-member committee called the Natural Resources Committee. The Kansas House of Representatives has a 19-member committee called the Energy and Environment Committee. There is also a Joint Committee on Energy and Environmental Policy consisting of eleven members. These committees manage bills relating to energy policy, utilities and environmental policy.[19]
- The Utilities Division of the Kansas Corporation Commission is in charge of regulating the rates for utilities including natural gas, electricity, liquid pipeline and telecommunications.[20]
- The Energy Division of Kansas provides objective information to the citizens of Kansas and oversees programs concerning "energy conservation, energy efficiency and alternative energy."[21]
- The Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism manages state parks, wildlife and natural resources. The Kansas Secretary of Wildlife and Parks manages this department.[22]
Major organizations
- The Kansas Energy Information Network (KEIN) is a non-profit organization that was funded by state grants until 2006 and currently runs independently. It aims to provide renewable energy information for Kansas and surrounding areas.[23]
- Midwest Energy News is a non-profit organization that provides news concerning energy changes in the Midwest United State. It was launched in 2010. It aims at " keeping stakeholders, policymakers and citizens informed of the important changes taking place as the Midwest shifts from fossil fuels to a clean energy system."[24]
- The Kansas Association for Conservation & Environmental Education (KACEE) is a statewide non-profit association that "promotes and provides effective, non-biased and science-based environmental education for all Kansans." It consists of a variety of different organizations, agencies (both public and private), businesses and individuals.[25]

Right Wing Leftovers - 11/9/12
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 11/9/2012 6:20 pm
- Ben Shapiro on Breitbart says David Petraeus didn't willingly resign but was pushed out by the "Obama Mafia" and his "resignation is only the most recent evidence that the Obama administration will lie to the American people to achieve its ends." Laura Ingraham and Monica Crowley seem to agree.
- Allen West's initial legal challenge to force a recount has been denied.
- La Shawn Barber of WORLD magazine hopes that "homosexual activism in government schools is a spark that will ignite a larger movement among Christians to take their children out and homeschool them or opt for private Christian schools" as parents "peacefully protest homosexual indoctrination."
- Erik Rush, once again, asserts that "voter fraud and possibly electronic tampering played a part in the victory of Barack Obama and other Democrat office holders," still offering zero evidence.
- Reacting to Obama's re-election, E.W. Jackson says the U.S. will face "disastrous" consequences; Janet Porter warns that "liberty is hanging by a thread"; Joel Richardson chides Obama supporters as "pot-heads, sodomites, pro-aborts and all common moochers"; and Ted Nugent thinks America has "decayed into a nation of gluttonous, soulless pigs."

While staff is nice, maintenance requests seems to always be left has unfinished and must take repeated calls Read Moreto get the job done. Also, when there a paper mishap with the apartment office and University management w/ cashing credit towards my a rent payment, the office fixed the problem but not before management sent me a courts summons paper thinking I did not pay a part of my rent. It was very unsettling to get that in the mail without so much as a phone call first to say the issue was fixed.

Pink Floyd Album Designer Storm Thorgerson Dies at 69
Storm Thorgerson, best known for the design of iconic Pink Floyd albums including Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, died Thursday after a lengthy illness, the band announced. He was 69.
Pink Floyd's official site released a statement saying, "We are saddened by the news that longtime Pink Floyd graphic genius, friend and collaborator, Storm Thorgerson, has died. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends."
Guitarist David Gilmour said in a separate statement, "The artworks that he created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work."
Thorgerson began his career in the late 1960s with U.K. design group Hipgnosis. His style made him an instant standout. Throughout the 1970s, he worked with Pink Floyd, designing two of their albums, as well as working with Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel and Muse. Aside from designing, he also produced a range of videos during the late '80s and early '90s.
PHOTOS: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2013
In an interview with BBC in 2010, he said: "People pay me for my thoughts and my dream. I think in that sense I'm very fortunate."
His family released a statement saying, "He had been ill for some time with cancer, though he had made a remarkable recovery from his stroke in 2003. He is survived by his mother, Vanji, his son Bill, his wife, Barbie Antonis, and her two children Adam and Georgia."
The bond between Floyd and Thorgerson ran deep, and in his remarks, Gilmour spoke lovingly of his longtime friend, whom he'd known since their teen years.
"We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river in Cambridge, and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed. He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend. I will miss him."
Thorgerson designed both of the albums below: Dark Side of the Moon (1973) & Wish You Were Here (1975)
