Approved by the General Faculty Assembly, November 11, 2010
Procedures for Campus Conduct Hearing Board Panels
A designated Student Life staff member serving as the Judicial Officer investigates complaints, determines whether probable cause exists to support charge(s), presents charge(s) and evidence to the Hearing Panel, and participates in questioning. To provide appropriate separation of duties, a different member of the Student Life staff serves as the Judicial Liaison responsible for appointing the members of the Hearing Panel from among the eligible members of the CCHB, arranging for the hearing, and advising Hearing Panel members concerning all aspects of the hearing process. The Judicial Liaison is also responsible for advising the Hearing Panel concerning the substantive provisions of the Community Judicial Code and the applicable range of sanctions under each charge.
The Judicial Liaison is responsible for providing judicial training to all CCHB members. No person may serve on a Hearing Panel without completing such training.
Cases are heard by Hearing Panels comprised of three persons convened by the Judicial Liaison. A Hearing Panel must include at least two faculty/staff from the CCHB and one student who is a member of the CCHB or a J-Board Chair. Student members must be certified by Student Life as having completed at least two regular terms at Berea and are juniors or seniors in good standing (i.e. not on probation).
Each Hearing Panel shall apply the following procedures. In unusual circumstances, special adjudicative procedures may be adopted upon the advice of the Judicial Liaison, subject to prior approval by the Vice President for Labor and Student Life.
- Prior to the hearing, each member of the Hearing Panel is required to sign a statement attesting to his or her ability to hear the case "without bias" and pledging to keep case-relevant information confidential. No contact with any party or witness in the case regarding the case is permissible.
- Each Hearing Panel shall select a chair from among its members. Any member may chair the hearing. It shall be the duty of the chair to conduct the hearing in an orderly manner following these procedures. The Judicial Liaison shall advise the Hearing Panel on all questions of procedure.
- No party or witness to the charge(s) being heard may sit on the Hearing Panel.
- The Judicial Liaison will provide members of the Hearing Panel with the opportunity to review the charges, incident reports, documentary evidence, written statements, and relevant sections of the Student Handbook prior to the hearing.
- At the beginning of the hearing, the Judicial Liaison or the Hearing Panel Chair shall inform all parties to a case, including witnesses that all testimony must be the complete truth and that persons knowingly giving false testimony shall be liable to judicial action. (See possible sanctions elsewhere in these procedures.)
- Each member of the Hearing Panel shall have a reasonable opportunity to question all parties and witnesses.
- All hearings shall be closed to persons other than those provided for in these Procedures and those summoned by the Judicial Officer.
- Cases involving two or more students shall be ordinarily heard jointly by the same Hearing Panel. The Judicial Liaison may, for good cause shown, grant separate hearings upon the written request of any of the accused.
- Only facts and evidence relevant to the case at hand shall be used in determining whether the accused is "Responsible" or "Not Responsible" on the charges. If the student is found "Responsible" on the charges being heard, only previous disciplinary records shall be presented by the Judicial Liaison to the Hearing Panel prior to determination of penalties. Such records are excluded during the hearing and deliberations on responsibility.
- The standard used to determine responsibility will be a preponderance of evidence, i.e., it is more likely than not that the alleged policy violation occurred.
- Concurrence by a majority of the members of the Hearing Panel is necessary in order to reach a decision that the accused is "Responsible" or "Not Responsible" on each charge. If the concurrence of a majority of the Hearing Panel cannot be reached on a charge, the charge may, at the discretion of the Judicial Liaison, be referred to the Student Life Council.
- The decision of a Hearing Panel, including any sanctions, shall be recorded on a Hearing Panel Decision Form provided for this purpose by the Judicial Liaison.
- The decisions of Hearing Panels are final unless: (i) timely appealed and modified or reversed upon appeal ; or (ii) subsequently reviewed and modified or reversed by the President of the College or the President's designate.
- Any student, who knowingly interferes with or obstructs the administration of the Community Judicial Code or gives false testimony before a Hearing Panel, in writing or in person, shall be subject to suspension for not less than one term. Under unusual or extenuating circumstances, the penalty may be reduced to a fine of not less than $150, one year probation, or both. In the event that a charge of false testimony, judicial interference, or obstruction is finally determined to have occurred, the Vice President for Labor and Student Life shall be obligated to investigate whether such conduct had a material impact on the outcome of the original proceeding. The Vice President shall report such finding to the President of the College for such further action or proceedings as the President determines necessary to preserve the rights of the parties in the original proceeding.
There is a single level of appeal as a matter of right in all cases under the Community Judicial Code. Decisions of Hearing Panels may be modified or reversed on appeal only if it is determined by the appellate authority that: (i) the decision is manifestly unfair or unsupported by the testimony and evidence received at the hearing, (ii) the Hearing Panel, the Judicial Officer, or the Judicial Liaison failed to follow and apply the Community Judicial Code or these Procedures and such failure resulted in material prejudice to the appealing party, or (iii) one or more members of the Hearing Panel were unfairly biased or acted with prejudice in a manner that affected the outcome of the case or violated the right of the accused(s) to appropriate due process.
Appeals must be received by the Judicial Liaison within three working days of the original decision. Appeals are directed, through the Judicial Liaison, to the appellate authority. Participants in the original hearing (parties, witnesses, Observers, Hearing Panel members) may not sit on the hearing body for an appeal. Judicial decisions may be appealed only by the person accused except in hearings of sexual harassment or sexual assault charges. (See "Special Hearing Procedures for Charges of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault".)
The President of the College or designate reserves the right to: (i) review, modify or reverse the decision of any campus judicial body, (ii) adopt special judicial procedures; or (iii) make a final determination in any case arising under the Community Judicial Code.
Special Hearing Procedures for Charges of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault
In cases where sexual harassment or sexual assault charges are brought against a student by an individual under the Berea College Student Conduct Regulations, "Unacceptable Actions: Rules of Conduct", Sections A1 (Violence), and/or B2 (Offenses Against Persons), special procedures apply, including:
- The Judicial Liaison shall inform both the accused and the person bringing the charge that, upon written request, special arrangements may be offered to limit direct contact between the parties involved, (e.g. visual screening, telephonic conferencing, video-conferencing).
- Both the accused and the person bringing the charge may request that certain potential members of the Hearing Panel be excused for cause. "Cause" must be articulated and may include such things as a Hearing Panel member having personal knowledge of the facts or incident which is the subject of the charge(s), a labor supervisory, academic advising, or close personal relationship with the accused, or another party to or a witness in the case. Final decisions on such requests rest in the discretion of the Judicial Liaison.
- In sexual harassment and sexual assault cases, the person bringing the charge may also appeal the decision within three working days. Such appeals are limited to procedural grounds (See "Appeals", (ii) and (iii)) or due to the subsequent discovery and availability of directly relevant evidence not available at the time of the hearing.
- In keeping with provisions of the Higher Education Act of 2009, the College will, upon written request, disclose to the alleged victim of any crime of violence (as defined in Section 16, Title 18 of the U.S. Criminal Code), or a non-forcible sex offense, the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the College against a student who is the alleged perpetrator of such an offense.
Judicial Records Retention and Information Disclosure
All hearing materials will be retained by the Judicial Liaison until the appeal deadline has passed or, if appealed, until a final decision is made by the appellate body or the President of the College. Thereafter, if the decision was "Not Responsible", nothing will be retained in the student's permanent record. If the student was found "Responsible" on the charges, only a copy of the incident report/s, the charge letter, and the Hearing Panel Decision Form will be retained in the student's permanent record maintained by Student Life. Except as provided above, all other hearing materials, in whatever medium, will be destroyed.
Upon written request to the Assistant Vice President for Student Life or the Director of Residential Life and Collegium, the College will disclose to the alleged victim, in writing, the results of any judicial hearing that deals with acts of violence or non-forcible sex offenses.

Ancient Tahitian House
My first educational build in Second Life, "Ancient Tahitian House", is based on the illustration " A View near Ohamaneno Harbour in Ulitea [Ra'aiatea]", which is an unsigned pencil drawing attributed to Captain James Cook, who made three highly documented voyages to the South Pacific in the early contact period. Tahiti and her islands were officially "discovered" by Europeans circa 1767.
I decided to go with two content areas I know quite well: ancient Tahitian culture and postmodern media theory/philosophy with a Continental European philosophical grounding. I am from Tahiti and my academic content focus (and master's thesis and doctoral dissertation) have been on Ancient Tahitian cultural traditions and socio-religious concepts. In addition, I have taken a doctoral level course with Jean Baudrillard himself on thinking the virtual and the real.
I was assisted by my colleague Katherine Watson, who created the scripted stool and headrest in the Tahitian house (fare) based on an illustration I gave her.
They really add to the richness of the house and I had neither the time nor the skill to create those so quickly and perfectly. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Katherine for graciously sharing of her time and expertise. Katherine and I are colleagues at Empire State College of the State University of New York. Our registration at the conference was funded by the college under the auspices of a Charitable Leadership foundation grant to develop high interactive, adult centered online courses in math and science. They include a visualization component, and we have been exploring immersive learning design under this project. See the following website for more information on the preliminary work under this grant: http://www4.esc.edu/smart/.
I'd also like to thank Desideria Stockon and Eloise Pasteur for providing us with this wonderful opportunity to create, discuss, learn and reflect with a focus on designing immersive learning environments. This has been one of the most fabulous studio sessions I have taken (and I have done many) in both RL and SL. Brava, Desi and Eloise.
Due to time constraints, I simply tried to communicate as accurately as possible the gist of the buildings and space and a couple of artifacts. As you can see from the illustration, it is a passable rendering. However, some points to consider:
I didn't have time to research building materials and methods, and either find or create accurate textures. There is extensive documentation, as well as archaeological findings, on early Tahitian material culture. If I were to do this right (which I hope to do in the near future), I would carefully re-construct the home as accurately as possible based on the writings and findings and use a number of other illustrations to guide me.
I also didn't have time to research textural details, such as: is this the right matting style? How do I create the fringe? Where can I find something that resembles the appropriate materials? Is there anywhere in SL with some Tahitian style Tapa (bark cloth) or would I have to create it? How were these elements really placed in the home?
I did the best I could to quickly find a stone texture that looked somewhat like the stone used in photographs representing Tahitian builds. There are many of those available. If I were doing this "right", I would also consider: what types of stones were native to Tahiti at the time, and what stonemasonry methods were used? How might I replicate that?
On using a flat drawing to create a 3D build: It's difficult to ascertain scale and size from the illustration, as well is what is to the side and behind the building. I can't see into the building, so the interior display is based on written accounts.
I relied heavily on Douglas Oliver's Chapter 7 on "Buildings" from his trilogy on Ancient Tahitian Society, which is a phenomenal resource based on all primary and secondary sources on early Tahitian and surrounding Polynesian cultures. Due to time constraints, I did not apply the number of the written commentaries on building materials, methods and interior décor, relying solely on the illustration and a few key points.

05 AprEaster Dessert: Carrot Cake
Carrot Cake by Pen Waggener. Photograph.
I love baking. It's usually faster than cooking and the end-product is so yummy! With Easter coming quickly, I thought I'd share with you a fabulous carrot cake recipe, courtesy of Alton Brown and the Food Network. None of Alton's recipes have ever let me down, so he's definitely one of my go-to chefs when I'm looking for a good recipe.
I won't write out the recipe here since you can find all of Alton Brown's Carrot Cake instructions on the Food Network website. But I'll give you my important notes about the recipe.
1. You want to make this cake during the day (or even the day before). It takes three hours to make, though much of that time doesn't require your attention.
2. Read through the whole recipe before you start. This is the best way to make anything – promise! It's saved me so many awful mistakes.
3. Prepare the carrots and grind the nutmeg (the fresh nutmeg isn't imperative, but it makes the cake that much more special!) before you start mixing anything. Bake the cake, following the recipe instructions. While the cake is baking, you can make the frosting which is perfectly delicious! It's not too cream-cheesy but not too sweet.
4. For the frosting, you can substitute a vanilla bean for the vanilla extract for a really great treat. Just slice open the bean lengthwise and use the blunt side of a knife to scrape out the bean and put the insides in the mixer.

A country in central Europe which developed a strong sense of cultural nationhood in the absence of statehood between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, at a time when Poland was a victim of its aggressive European neighbours.
Foreign rule (up to 1918)
Poland lost its independence in the three Polish partitions (1772, 1793, 1795), when it was carved up between Russia, Prussia, and Austria‐Hungary. To fight these powers, many Poles signed up to fight for Napoleon, who established a Grand Duchy of Warsaw in 1807; but after the Vienna Congress much of its territory was governed as the kingdom of Poland in personal union with the Emperor (Tsar) of Russia. Several uprisings (1830–1, 1846, 1863) were brutally repressed, though increasing attempts to 'Russianize' or 'Germanize' the Poles in the respective occupied areas strengthened the nationalist movement towards the end of the nineteenth century. When World War I broke out, most Poles joined Pilsudski to fight with Austria‐Hungary against Russia, in order to secure the independence of the kingdom. The Treaty of Versailles, which was based on Wilson's principle of national self‐determination, finally recognized the independent Poland which had been proclaimed in 1918.
Interwar Poland (1918–39)
Even though Poland was to be an independent state from now on, for most of the century this independence was at best incomplete. From 1918, it took another five years until all the borders of a state which had been out of existence for so long were fully determined. Most significantly, in the Russo‐Polish War Poland extended its borders to the east to include large areas of Belorussia (now Belarus) and the Ukraine. Poland was engaged in a series of border disputes with Czechoslovakia over Teschen, and with Lithuania, whose territory around Vilnius it had acquired in 1920 and incorporated in 1922.
Given the resentments its acquisitions of formerly German territories had created in Germany, by 1924 Poland had thus managed to offend all of its neighbours bar Romania. As problematic was the need to integrate the new national minorities, which now composed over 30 per cent of the population, and to harmonize communication and cultural structures in a country which had doubled in size, 1918–24. This task was made particularly difficult through the relatively backward state of Poland's agriculture, which employed almost 70 per cent of the working population. The state thus lacked the tax revenue to enable it to encourage a programme of economic consolidation. Finally, state‐building was made all but impossible through the weakness of state institutions, which had been modelled on the French Third Republic. Governments changed frequently, thanks to a fragmented parliament in which parties represented particular national, social, or cultural interests.
In 1926 Pilsudski carried out a coup and established a dictatorship. He distributed power among his associates such as Beck and Smigly‐Rydz, but the lack of a popular base made it even more difficult to carry out reforms, even if they had been attempted. Given the growing threat presented by the Soviet Union and Germany, Poland was unable to rally support from its hostile central European neighbours to present a common front against Hitler and Stalin.
World War II
In September 1939 the unreformed Polish army was unable to prevent the country's invasion by Germany and the USSR which inaugurated World War II in Europe. The German occupying forces, which ruled over all of Poland from 1941, inflicted unimaginable terror on the Polish people, as hundreds of thousands of Poles were shot, and almost its entire Jewish population of three and a half million people was systematically murdered in the concentration camps of Auschwitz and elsewhere. Perhaps as many non‐Jewish Poles lost their lives in the war. Together with the total destruction of its industries and cities, the war left deep scars on Polish society. No treatment of Poles by any power could remotely compare to the atrocities committed by the Germans. At the same time, Russian occupation of Poland during the nineteenth century, the Hitler–Stalin Pact of 1939, subsequent atrocities such as the Katyn Massacre, and the appalling idleness of the Red Army during the Warsaw Rising made it difficult for most to see the advance of Soviet troops in 1944 as a 'liberation'.
Communist rule (1944–89)
After the war, the country was subject to Soviet control. By 1947 the hegemony of the Communist Party was established under Bierut, who proceeded to introduce Stalinist policies. Perhaps the most important figure in Communist Poland, however, was Gomulka, who ruled the country from 1956 to 1970. He appreciated that Marxism‐Leninism needed to be adapted to the specific conditions of Poland. In particular, he came to a modus vivendi with Cardinal Wyszinski, whose toleration was crucial as the Roman Catholic Church had traditionally been a bearer of Polish national identity, and still played an important role in the lives of most people. Gomulka also appeased the majority of Poles still living in the countryside by continuing to allow private ownership there.
Polish society thus achieved considerable degrees of freedom unmatched by its neighbours in East Germany, the USSR, or Czechoslovakia after 1968. Despite the failings and inefficiency of the planned economy, the country was industrialized and urbanized, while there were significant improvements in literacy levels and life expectancy. Unfortunately, the rapid expansion of heavy industry, and the concurrent urbanization, could only be achieved at the permanent expense of the production of consumer goods. Thus the standard of living remained low as there were few luxury items to buy, which caused discontent to mount against a political and economic system few Poles had actually chosen.
The replacement of Gomulka with Gierek (1970) offered a temporary reprieve through increases in economic production of up to 10 per cent per year, though again little was done to produce more consumer goods. These growth rates were largely achieved through foreign, hard‐currency loans, and did not indicate a general improvement in economic competitiveness. In the absence of lasting improvements to the standard of living, Polish society continued to be extremely volatile in its response to increases in the price of basic foodstuffs, which had become a regular trigger for popular discontent by the 1970s.
This was no different in 1980, when unannounced increases in the price of bread and meat caused demonstrations of such a scale as to take the Communist leadership by surprise and cause the dismissal of Gierek. A group of leaders around Wałeęsa managed to channel the disparate protests into the demand for the legalization of an independent trade union, Solidarność. Once this had been allowed, protesters used Solidarność as a vehicle for political opposition. Under pressure from his hardline Communist neighbours, Jaruzelski declared martial law in late 1981 and banned trade union activity.
The Communist government proved unable to suppress the political opposition, for three reasons.
1. Solidarność had established such a strong footing among the Polish people that it was able to develop a flourishing underground movement.
2. The visits of the Polish Pope, John Paul II, in 1979, 1983, and 1987, were a crucial outlet for public hostility to the regime. They also demonstrated the continued importance of the Church (which had aligned itself with the Solidarność movement at the grass roots), as it was able to reach areas beyond the purview of the Communist state.
3. The ascendancy of Gorbachev in the Soviet Union: in particular, Gorbachev made it clear that the USSR would no longer intervene to shore up a Communist system against the will of its people.
Democratization (1990s)
Jaruzelski was thus forced to enter into negotiations with the opposition led by Solidarność, which led to the election in 1989 of Poland's first non‐Communist Prime Minister since 1945, Thadeusz Mazowiecki (b. 1927). The capitalist transformation of the moribund Polish economy resulted in an economic roller‐coaster ride. Industrial production declined by 24 per cent, while inflation shot up to almost 600 per cent in 1990. By 1994 industrial production had grown again by 13 per cent, while inflation had been reduced to less than 50 per cent. Nevertheless, the tremendous levels of hardship endured by much of the population during this period sharply reduced the popularity of the Solidarność movement, which was further weakened by numerous internal divisions.
In 1990, Wałeôsa managed to be elected President, but in the 1991 parliamentary elections Solidarność won but 5 per cent of the vote, less than 2 per cent more than the Polish Party of the Friends of Beer. By contrast, the reformed Communists, under the banner of the Federation of the Democratic Left (SLD), and the Agrarian Party (PSL) went from strength to strength. They formed a coalition government after winning the 1993 parliamentary elections, while Wałeôsa was humiliated when he lost the 1995 presidential elections to a former Communist minister, Aleksander Kwasniewski.
The parliamentary elections of 1997 resulted in a victory for the 'Electoral Action Solidarity', led by Jerzy Buzek. With its parliamentary allies it passed a law whereby all candidates for political office had to be investigated for their links to the Polish secret service under the former Communist regimes. This helped destabilize the government, as a number of prominent members had to resign when their secret connections to the former dictatorship were revealed. An administrative reform reduced the centralization of the political system by creating a more federative structure of sixteen administrative districts. Meanwhile, Poland continued in its efforts to prepare for membership of the EU, through often painful institutional, social, and legal reform. In 1999 the health system was reformed. Economic growth was relatively stable at over 4 per cent per year, but much of this was distributed very unevenly. Poland's structural imbalances, especially its overblown agricultural sector, continued, while a dramatic budget deficit and the state's continued public indebtedness led to highly unpopular spending cuts. Buzek's Electoral Action Solidarity became very unpopular, and scraped into parliament with 5.6 per cent of the popular vote in 2001.
Contemporary politics (since 2001)
The 2001 elections saw a return of the SLD, whose leader, Leszek Miller, became Prime Minister. Under Miller, the government continued to carry out unpopular structural reforms in preparation for EU accession, which materialized in 2004. At this historic point, Miller had become extremely unpopular, so that he resigned. In 2005, parliamentary and presidential elections saw victory for the Law and Justice Party, led by twins. Lech Kaczynski became President, with Jaroslaw Kaczynski becoming Prime Minister, in 2006. The Kaczynski brothers had been elected on a populist platform, and in office they pursued a militant policy of promoting Polish interests in the EU. They were criticized for forming an alliance with an anti‐Semitic Peasant Party, while frequent criticisms of Germany have led to a cooling of relations with its western neighbour.

Coal is one of the most abundant sources of energy for the United States. One quarter of the world's coal reserves is found within the United States, and it provides nearly half of the electricity consumed by Americans. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) forecasts that coal will continue to dominate U.S. power generation for many decades to come. However, coal-fired power plants are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) that come from the electric power sector—which produces 40 percent of the nation's total. Since the U.S. EPA is beginning to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act, and many utilities are not eager to invest in coal plants due to uncertain costs, the prospects for new coal plants has been reduced. However, carbon capture and storage (or sequestration)—the process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants and storing it in geologic formations—could improve coal's outlook significantly while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal.
CCS begins by separating and capturing CO2 from power plant flue gas. There are three technologies for capturing CO2 that allow it to be captured before, during or after coal is burned. All three technologies are costly, require large amounts of energy and account for most of CCS's added costs. For example, DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) estimates that if current technology was used at a new coal power plant, the energy cost at the plant would increase by about 80 percent, although it also states there is the potential for these costs to decrease between 30 percent and 45 percent in the future.
Because current technologies are so expensive, many states provide financial incentives for CCS. Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Virginia, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Ohio and Texas promote CCS through incentives such as tax exemptions, credits and deductions for advanced coal plants, technologies and equipment.
Pre-combustion applies to integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants, where coal is converted into gas by applying heat under pressure in steam and oxygen. With this technique, the CO2 is removed before combustion takes place resulting in a relatively clean exhaust stream.
Post-combustion removes CO2 from flue gases at large point sources, such as power stations, after the coal is burned. This technique is primarily applicable to conventional power plants, but can also be applied to IGCC plants.
Oxy-fuel combustion captures the CO2 while burning coal in oxygen instead of air, which results in an almost pure carbon dioxide stream that is ready to be transported to the storage site. This technique can be applied to both new and existing coal-fired power plants, but the technology to cheaply and efficiently produce the needed oxygen has not yet been developed.
After CO2 is captured, it is compressed into a liquid state and transported to storage sites for injection. Because of the large amounts of CO2 that will need to be moved, pipelines will likely be used instead of ground transportation for shipping CO2 to storage sites. Storage sites are geologic formations chosen for their capacity to store CO2, the ability of CO2 to move within the formation, and how long the formation will be able to confine the CO2.
Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas have laws regarding transportation of CO2. Most of these states focus on fees for transporting CO2, integrity of pipelines and designating regulatory bodies for CO2 transportation.
Although CO2 is considered to be a safe, non-toxic gas in low concentrations, it can be dangerous in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Since it is heavier than air, it remains low to the ground where it displaces oxygen. Parties shipping or storing CO2 are liable for harm that could arise from CO2 leaking out of pipelines or storage sites during injection and storage. This could include damage to the environment, human health, or drinking water. Because injection pipes hold the greatest risk for leaks, most states with liability laws hold the well operator liable during injection and then transfer liability to the state 10 to 15 years after the closure of the well.
Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming have laws that address CO2 liability and ownership issues. Louisiana and Texas have set up trust funds for their carbon storage sites to pay for long-term regulation, monitoring and remediation.
Carbon capture and storage laws in 25 states pertain to issues such as CCS incentives, CO2 transportation, and liability and ownership of CO2. The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is helping to develop CCS projects by gathering data on possible geologic storage locations.
The federal government has provided significant funding for CCS. In 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy invested $3 billion to accelerate the development of carbon capture and storage to a commercial scale. Injection and storage of carbon dioxide continues to be examined by federal agencies, although most of the federal action has focused on transportation and storage. The U.S. Department of Transportation regulates CO2 pipeline operations under the Interstate Commerce Act and Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Act, while the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Surface Transportation Board regulate pipeline tariff rates and access.
In December 2010, a final rule was adopted making the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the regulatory authority for underground injection and environmental monitoring of CO2 under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

10:42am Wednesday 6th February 2013 in News By Amy Dyduch
Two men have been arrested after being linked to historic allegations of child abuse in Barnes in the 1980s.
The two men, one aged 66 from Norfolk and a 70-year-old from East Sussex, are in police custody after being arrested this morning on suspicion of sexual offences.
The arrests come as part of Operation Fernbridge, in which allegations were originally investigated under Opartion Fairbank, passed to police by MP Tom Watson, who spoke in Parliament of a "powerful paedophile ring" involving high profile figures and a former aide to the then Prime Minister.
Elm Guest House in Rocks Lane, Barnes, was advertised as a gay guest house in the late 1970s and early 1980s and it is alleged young boys were taken there from council-run Grafton Close care home and abused.
Commander Peter Spindler, head of the MPS specialist crime investigations, said: "This is a complex multi-agency investigation supported by the NSPCC, CEOP and Richmond social services involving non recent allegations of sexual assault against children.
"It is vital that anyone who has been affected by or has information about activity in the early 1980s at the Elm Guest House, or the Grafton Close care home, in Barnes speaks to the NSPCC on their Helpline on 0808 800 5000, or their local police."

Over the last few years, the Seattle Seahawks have been an incredible disappointment after dominating the competition in the NFC Conference for years with quarterback Matt Hasselback under center.
Fortunately, the Seahawks' front office decided to make some moves in order to begin an extensive rebuilding process and hopefully make the NFL playoffs a few times in the process. The first order of business was hiring head coach Pete Carroll to take over as the leader on the sidelines and after landing the former USC Coach the players needed to follow.
After landing Zach Miller and Sidney Rice in free agency last year, the Seahawks brass were thought to have made the right moves in order to become the best team in the NFC North once again. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case without the right quarterback under center after Hasselback decided to leave town in favor of the Tennessee Titans.
Once Hasselback was gone as the number one guy in Seattle, the options became thinner and thinner at quarterback with Tavaris Jackson unable to shoulder the load. After Jackson finding out that Jackson was clearly not a long-term option, the Seahawks went after a high-priced free agent in the off-season.
Once big-names like Peyton Manning were off the table, Seattle went all in for up-and-comer Matt Flynn formerly of the Green Bay Packers. As a backup to Aaron Rodgers, Flynn was unable to showcase his skills and therefore never received an opportunity to show what he could do until the end of the 2011 NFL season.
The result of Flynn's impressive performance to finish the season for the Packers, in which he threw for a franchise-record six touchdowns, the promising gunslinger attracted many potential suitors.
The Seahawks saw something they liked in Flynn and decided to sign him to a three-year contract for $26 million. Even with the big contract, Flynn was guaranteed the starting role as he had to prove himself and that he has with Carroll dubbing Flynn the starter moving forward.

One Response to "Seattle Seahawks Names Matt Flynn Starting Quarterback"
Whoever wrote this isn't very knowledgable. First off it's Hasselbeck not
Hasselback and he wanted to retire in Seattle but Pete Carroll pushed him out on favor of a youthful quarterback (that worked out well…not). And second the Seahawks are in the NFC west not the NFC north. And third it has never been officially announced that Flynn will be the starter even though he is starting the first preseason game. Undoubtedly he will be the starter, but old Pete is all about competition and will draw this thing out a little longer.

For Good Communication, Timing Is EverythingThese strategies will help ADHDers and their non-ADHD spouse connect in conversations. In ADHD couples, everyday domestic and childrearing challenges are sources for ongoing conflict. Improving communication is usually the first line of attack in an effort to fight less and cooperate more. But when it comes to successful communication in ADHD couples, when you talk matters as much as what you say. This is true in all couples, but particularly true for ADHD spouses, whose capacity to listen...

I Want to Take a Drug HolidaySome adults in my ADHD support group take a drug holiday a couple of times a year. I would like to do this as well. Should I? Can I? I see no reason for you not to take a drug holiday. First, try to pick a time and place when being hyperactive, inattentive, disorganized, and/or impulsive will not create major problems. For example, do not take this holiday at work, but at home, perhaps on a weekend, when you have minimal responsibilities. Have someone give you feedback about your behavior when you're off medication. Determine...

Sports for Self-Esteem?Do sports help a 10-year-old with ADHD manage his symptoms and increase his self-esteem? If so, which sports are the most appropriate and helpful? Success in sports will increase your son's self-esteem. However, lack of success may cause more peer problems and lower self-esteem. The challenge for you is to determine what it takes to succeed in a particular sport, and to decide whether your son's symptoms (hyperactivity, inattention, problems with organization, impulsivity) will make it difficult for him to play that sport well. It is worth the effort, because...

Accommodations Denied: The College EditionThe disability officer at my daughter's college does not believe that ADHD is a real disability. What should I do? The disability officer at your school is incorrect, both clinically and legally. In seeking accommodations, remember that you always need current documentation of any disability.

Your daughter's college should have an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or a 504 Plan grievance procedure to address the denial of disability accommodations. Virtually all colleges (except those with a...

"Put down the Game and Pick up Your Room!"Why can my son, who is nine and who has ADHD, stay focused on a video screen for hours, but can't turn his attention to cleaning his room for 15 minutes, even when I try to turn it into a game? Unfortunately, all children — and some adults — prefer activities that are fun and enjoyable to those that are "work." Watching a TV program or playing a computer game is certainly more fun than cleaning his room. Rather than turn cleaning into a game, think about how you can structure this task for him, so it is easier to do. I find that once a child or...

Bouncing Back after InfidelityMy wife of 20 years recently admitted to having an affair. My ADHD, which I found out about recently, played a part in her disillusionment with our marriage. We are both ready to forgive each other and try again, but our teenage sons are angry at her. How can I help them get through this? You must encourage your sons to forgive their mother. The first step is for you to acknowledge their anger and pain. Your wife put your family life at risk with her actions, and their feelings are understandable. The second step is to talk with them about their anger. Listen to them without judgment, and ask them what they want that pain to turn into. Help them...

The accommodations would be based on current documentation of your disability, how it impairs functioning, the need for accommodations, and how accommodations can address your disability. Second, if you believe your professor is discriminating against you, this may...

I Can Never Plan Ahead With My ADHD FriendMy best friend has ADHD and tells everyone that she loves to "live in the moment." I appreciate many of her qualities, but her lack of willingness to plan ahead leaves me resentful sometimes. What can I do about this? This is tricky.

Set a specific time to be together, but don't decide on what you're going to do until the day of your date. Good friends can always find something fun to do... |

The tenth season of "American Idol" officially started last night according to judge Jennifer Lopez, which is news to the 26 million of us who have been watching for two months, but at the same time I understand exactly what she's saying since the time for self-doubt is over.
Sadly this was also news to much of the Top 13 since nerves ran rampant, leading to a very sleepy vibe permeating many of the performances. It is a fine line between understated and unconscious, Thia! There is also a fine line between reworking and overworking -- something the newly installed music producers need to learn about immediately because many of their tune tweaks came across as "look what I can do!"
Which isn't to say that last night's show was all bad -- far from it in fact, as a handful of the front-runners continued to assert their dominance with the night's very broad theme of Songs By Your Personal Musical Idol.
Personal Idol: Joe Cocker
When you talk about exciting performers, it doesn't get much better this season than the soulful Casey Abrams. His utterly unhinged but always in control renditions consistently dust off classic tunes and give the iTunes generation a reason to learn about the greats. Bonus points for saying, "I'm gonna get high" about a dozen times on the family friendly show [watch]
Personal Idol: Celine Dion
Whenever the French-Canadians name is dropped in a singing competition, a little part of you recoils in anticipatory terror -- but the beautiful belter proved herself a worthy heir to Celine's chest-thumping throne with this soaring reworking. Pia narrowly missed out on the top spot because this was a woefully repetitive rendition. I mean, we were hearing that chorus for almost a full minute. [watch].
Personal Idol: Paul McCartney
I'm either coming around on this kid or his previous high pitched shrieks damaged my eardrums so greatly they can no longer recognize if he's missing the notes. I'm inclined to think it's the former because I also loved everything that came out of his lower register as well [watch].
Personal Idol: Garth Brooks
Much like Simon Cowell, country is a genre that pretty much misses the mark with me 100 percent of the time, but there is something so smooth about Scotty's performances, he makes me understand why it's one of America's most popular musical styles [watch].
Personal Idol: LeAnn Rimes
I will come right out and admit it, I drank the Haley Kool-Aid back in Hollywood, so there is nothing baby Scarlett Johansson does that I won't lap up with a spoon -- including calling the homewrecking hussie her personal Idol [watch].
Personal Idol: Michael Jackson
The only thing I love more than saying Thia Megia's name is hearing her gorgeous voice soar from the rafters, but she's gonna have to pump up the energy next week if she wants to stay on in this competition because she's not delivering "run to the phone" performances [watch].
Personal Idol: Stevie Wonder
I didn't think Stefano deserved a spot in the Top 13, so it is very possible that this personal bias is affecting my judgement, but his Stevie Wonder dance remix felt like something you'd see opening a bad cabaret show [watch].
Personal Idol: Shania Twain
The bubbly blonde's voice was on point throughout the performance but Lauren seemed to be going through the motions as she wandered from one side of the stage to the other without a trace of the energetic youngin we fell in love with over the last umpteen weeks [watch].
Personal Idol: Selena
This was the absolute perfect song for Karen to sing, but her pitch was off the whole way through. Thankfully Jennifer Lopez gave her a boost during the judging by deducing that her earpiece was off, preventing her from properly hearing the music. Still, it's no excuse -- rip that shizz out and belt the way we know you can Karen! [watch]
Personal Idol: Ryan Adams
I'm totally down with Paul's unique flair, but he's gotta wait a few weeks before he turns it up to 11 with the crazy dancing that prevented him from actually singing the last half of the song properly [watch].
Personal Idol: R. Kelly
First of all, I'm hoping that Jacob was just fronting about the controversial singer being his personal Idol simply so he could perform this song because ... seriously? R. Kelly? Where you been for the last 7 years kid? Maybe a quick Google search before you go attaching yourself to the king of underage water sports. Just sayin'. Sadly I also hated this shrill, off-key performance. Plus, you gotta earn a choir folks -- you can just parade them out during week one [watch].
Personal Idol: Rihanna
It's moments like this one that make me wish Simon Cowell was still on "American Idol" because all I could do following her reggae infused, body spasm-filled performance was think, "what would Simon say?!?" [watch]
Personal Idol: Diana Ross
America didn't want Ashthon in the finals and she didn't give the voting public any reason to doubt their decision with this poorly paced and performed ballad [watch]
Who do you think is going home?

Official Draft Thread
Jordan gunshy, thats why they took MKG. outside of Davis, he is unquestionably the safest player. there will be players that will be better than him that go later, but MKG is bust-proof and safe. Jordan just wanted to make a good pick if not spectacular with low risk.
Brad Beal - Better or worse career than Cuttino Mobley??
F*ck the TWO players I wanted just got picked and now we're going to be stuck with Barnes.
We could take Trob, but we took Tristan Thompson last year and not f*cking Valuncias.
SMH I'm pissed.
Better than Mobley...I am thinking an Allan Houston type of career.
Son of a b!tch
I don't know how Cleveland is going to look in 5 years after taking Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters at #4 in back to back years.
Am I the only one who is ready for a trade now?
they did it with tristan thompson last year and they did it with dion waiters this year.. WOW....
Why is it that it seems every year the Kings get run over by a commerical.
Barnes falling to 6? If he gets passed up again, wow.
Lol did anyone else hear that convo between Calipari with Davis and MKG?
I told you guys he's was going to make sure he got on camera as much as possible.
Idk he is the best recruiter in the game for a reason, but he comes of as a sleezy attention wh0re.
Did anyone see this tweet?
Wow is all I got to say....
My mock draft is looking like sh1t at this point
My boy Harrison Barnes slipping and I love it! Just wait, a lot of teams will be so sorry they slept on HB. In about 10 years, Lebron will be retired and Cleveland still wont have a title....and we will look back on drafts like this and see exactly why.
These interviews are so brutal..please show more highlights of the players and stop talking to the families.
Dont you dare trade T-Rob
glad Charlotte made the right pick. i have no doubt MKG is the second best prospect in this draft...
now who do you think Portland will go with Damian Lillard or Andre Drummond?
Please don't spoil anymore picks. Not trying to be a d!ck, just saying.
what kinda question is that to ask Thomas Robinson little sister?? "Have U ever seen your brother cry before"... so many deaths in that poor kids family and you ask that
Dummond will probaably be thete at 8 and I'll be shocked if Toronto doesn't trade with Houston.
well, I did get Lillard right...oops....moved him last minute to GSW because I thought a trade would be in play....does Barnes now go to GSW? thats one of the places he wanted to go and they need a SF.
GS gets lucky with Barnes but where is Drummond going to go? Trade at 8?
Waiters at 4.....º___________________º
The warriors are probably singing and dancing in the war room for barnes slipping to them lol

The Saxifrage School is a higher education laboratory working to lower costs, re-think the campus, and reconcile disciplines.

Sign up for classes today!
There are 3 Big Problems. We have 3 Small Ideas.
$1,000,000,000,000 in Debt
Over the past thirty years, the cost of higher education has risen more than any other industry.
Underused Neighborhoods
One of the biggest issues (and greatest assets) of many rust-belt cities, like Pittsburgh, is the amount of underutilized space.
50% Drop-Out Rates
Right now, only 50% of college students are graduating within 6 years. Students increasingly lack a sense of focus and motivation.
Lower Tuition
By simplifying the transaction between teacher and student, building student responsibility, and operating a non-traditional campus we can significantly lower costs to about one-sixth that of some comparable programs without moving the learning community online.
Nomadic Campus
Rather than operating our own buildings, the neighborhood will be the campus. The community will benefit from increased investment while students will benefit from a real-world context for their studies.
Reconcile Theory and Practice
Students will be challenged to engage with real problems in the community, learning—through experience—both how to make what is valuable and question the value of what is made. Our instructors are serious about mentorship and helping students capture their achievements in professional portfolios.
[Students] should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. .
— Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Why women don't get what they want
1 Comments Add a Comment
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- This is great advice. So many people, not just women men included, try to avoid being "too direct" or "too demanding" and end up not being assertive enough. The "I" message suggestion here is vital. It does 2 things the expert here probably didn't have time to mention.
First it is extremely difficult for someone to say no to a direct request from someone else so it gives an opportunity for a higher level commitment from the other person. The challenge here is "lip service" which we've all gotten. This is a "yes" with no follow through. Sometimes the "yes, with a lack of follow through" is just because really isn't a priority of the person making the commitment so they just never happen to get around to it, and sometimes, it is the person is just "yessing" us to to move on and not be bothered anymore and there really is no intention to follow through.
As the person making the request it behooves us to set accountabilities to next steps before leaving that conversation.
Secondly, the "I" statement shows ownership of the issue and leadership. How many times have you had someone "pass the buck" on a request, something like, "we need to do this because (our boss, the home office) is asking for it." This is weak communication, if you are asking someone for something take ownership of it. If it truly is coming from above and you need that for leverage, use it and add, "and I agree this is important to get on right away because...." This gives ownership to the person making the request and is strong, assertive language.
All great suggestions in this interview and I would like to offer anyone who would like to learn more about assertive, effective communication and the 7 biggest mistakes human beings make that kill the communication that kills the trust that kills the relationships we need to influence for maximum success to download the white paper report, "The 7 Deadliest Sins of Leadership & Workplace Communication: How Leaders & Employees Undermine Motivation, Morale and Trust in Work Environments" - it is available FREE at http://www.HowToImproveLeadershipCommunication.com - reply

Choudhry NK, Avorn J, Antman EM, Schneeweiss S, Shrank WH. Should patients receive secondary prevention medications for free after a myocardial infarction? An economic analysis [Internet]. Health Aff (Millwood) 2007;26:186-94.
Taken in combination, aspirin, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and statins (combination pharmacotherapy) greatly reduce cardiac events. These therapies are underused, even among patients with drug insurance. Out-of-pocket spending is a key barrier to adherence. We estimated the impact of providing combination pharmacotherapy without cost sharing ("full coverage") to insured patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). Under base-case assumptions, compared to standard coverage, three years of full coverage will reduce mortality and reinfarction rates and will save 5,974 per patient. Our analysis suggests that covering combination therapy for such patients will save both lives and money.Notes:

E.coli infection is more likely to take hold in a weakened patient. We are exposed to pathogens more often than we fall ill from them.
So the question is not whether the E.coli came from the foetus, or whether it came form the hospital or was there before she was admitted. The question is whether allowing the natural miscarriage process to proceed for days rather than performing an abortion can tip the chances of falling to opportunistic infections.
In addition, am I mistaken that the abortion might have been performed by inducing delivery rather than by a caesarean? Does that not involve less risk of "surgical" complications? I distribute. You re-distribute. He gives your hard-earned money to lazy scroungers. -- JakeS
It is a natural process which kicks in in a significant % of pregnancies
IIRC, historically around 25%, mostly depending on how widespread syfilis is in the population. If this looks high it is mostly because a lot of these are in early stages and may not be noticed as a miscarriage. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
Had heard as much as one third of pregnancies - early stages. -----sapere aude

At least they have new heads, and some new weapons (Springer's sword and Wheelie's slingshot)
It used to be that people would be "fine with a re-paint if it just had a new head" or the "right weapons"
At least we are getting these in the first place, sort of.
That said, I would pick up Wheelie and maybe Springer, but Cliffy looks too mish-mashed and Swerve is OK, but only at regular retail, not imported.
These will make it to the US at some point, I have to guess.
I dont see a slingshot, all i see is a boring blue repaint of jazz photon convertable blaster as if he outgrew his slingshot.

Wrap your synapses around this one...
From another author, you might have gotten this:
"They walked up the steps and range the doorbell."
"They walked through the gates and rang the doorbell. After waiting for a couple of minutes, they banged on the door, and then left."
From Sigler we get "TITTIES!" Not breasts, Not tits, but titties, and some of the best dialogue I've hear in quite awhile. I've listened to that epi about 5 times, and their whole exchange is still cracking me up. I'll be recalling snippets of their banter and smiling for the next 6 months. "Dude you couldn't knock me out." "That's completely irrelevant."
Here's another favorite: "That's like, 7 seconds on the stairmaster."
Mr Biz-Nass has some of the best dialogue too. So here's the question:
What's your favorite line, snippet of dialogue, or conversation so far in Nocturnal?
