Abstract: Research in marine current energy, including tidal and ocean currents, has undergone significant growth in the past decade. The horizontal-axis marine current turbine is one of the machines used to harness marine current energy, which appears to be the most technologically and economically viable one at this stage. A number of large-scale marine current turbines rated at more than 1 MW have been deployed around the World. Parallel to the development of industry, academic research on horizontal-axis marine current turbines has also shown positive growth. This paper reviews previous research on horizontal-axis marine current turbines and provides a concise overview for future researchers who might be interested in horizontal-axis marine current turbines. The review covers several main aspects, such as: energy assessment, turbine design, wakes, generators, novel modifications and environmental impact. Future trends for research on horizontal-axis marine current turbines are also discussed.
Keywords: marine renewable energy; horizontal-axis marine current turbine; marine current energy assessment; marine current turbine wake; generator

Recital scheduled for Wednesday
Right in the middle of a speech in his freshman year at Wheaton College, Jacob Fuhrman decided he wanted to make organ-playing his career.
It was in speech class on a Monday morning right after spring break. The Aberdeen native was introducing himself in the speech. At the time, Fuhrman was an economics major. But while he was discussing himself he realized that his true love was the organ. In high school, he had played organ, piano and trumpet.
Following the epiphany, he switched his major to organ performance.
Now 22, Fuhrman presented his senior recital last month at the college's Edman Chapel. He will perform the same recital Wednesday night.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 502 S. Lincoln St.
Fuhrman says the recital will have a fairly strong Christmas theme, with two sets of yuletide music. He will play works by J.S. Bach, Cesar Franck and Olivier Messiaen.
Another reason to attend the recital is that he worked really hard on it, he said.
Fuhrman will graduate in May from Wheaton in Wheaton, Ill. He is the son of Bill and Lynne Fuhrman.
The recital will have no admission charge.

Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association and Ohio Soybean Association
Prompt Congressional Attention to Farm Bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association (OCWGA) and Ohio Soybean Association (OSA) are urging their members and all agricultural stakeholders to contact Sen. Rob Portman (R-Terrace Park) today to encourage quick action and a yes vote for the Senate Agriculture Committee version of the Farm Bill.
"This bipartisan bill, which reduces the federal deficit more than $23 billion, is of utmost importance and it's critical to move forward now," said OCWGA President Mark Watchman. "Not only for the security of our state's more than 26,000 grain farmers, but for the food security and food affordability of all Ohioans."
OCWGA and OSA are in support of the revenue-based Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program currently in the Senate's version, as it offers a true safety net for grain farmers. Both organizations advocate for the consideration of germane amendments only. Non-germane amendments could delay or derail passage of the bill. OCWGA and OSA are encouraging a confirmation vote for the Senate Agriculture Committee version of the Farm Bill.
"This is an extremely vital issue for Ohio soybean farmers and the entire agricultural community," said Bret Davis, OSA president and Delaware County soybean farmer. "Because this version of the bill eliminates direct payments in favor of a true safety net, it will not only benefit the soybean farmers in this state but all U.S. farmers."
To help ensure the strength of the state's No. 1 industry, Ohioans can contact Sen. Rob Portman at 202-224-3353.
About Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers AssociationThe Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association represents the interests of tens of thousands of corn and wheat growers throughout the state. OCWGA works in Washington, D.C., and at the Ohio Statehouse to ensure that government participation in legislation is beneficial to advancing the profitability of Ohio grains. For more information, visit ohiocornandwheat.org
About Ohio Soybean Association
The Ohio Soybean Association is governed by a volunteer farmer board dedicated to education and promotion, as well as to uniting producer interest through support of legislative activities beneficial to the Ohio soybean industry. For more information, visit soyohio.org.

Our state-of-the-art hyperbaric (high-pressure oxygen) chamber (one of only a few in the San Gabriel Valley) treats serious medical conditions such as:
Chronic wounds are a reality for nearly 5 million Americans, with about 500,000 new cases diagnosed annually. The 14 million individuals with diabetes nationwide are particularly vulnerable to chronic wounds, and are 12 times more likely to undergo limb amputation due to unhealed wounds. While diabetes is a prime culprit, other conditions can also lead to chronic wounds, including arteriosclerosis, traumatic injury, rheumatoid arthritis, congestive heart failure, arterial or venous ulcers and vascular disease. Surgical complications and circulatory conditions can also prevent wounds from healing.
The Wound Healing Center at Methodist Hospital is a vital, compassionate resource for patients with non-healing wounds.
Patients may be candidates for our program if their wounds have not started healing in one month or have not completely healed in two months.
The Wound Healing Center, an outpatient department of Methodist Hospital, has healing rates among the highest in the country, with consistently low days to healing.
We have healed hundreds of patients since the Center opened in 1998.
Our wound healing staff includes general surgeons, vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons and podiatrists.
Appropriate candidates for our program include patients with:

Arthur C. Clarke's 1956 letter predicting GPS and satellite TV
Monday, July 26, 2010 - 12:39pm
We've long known about Arthur C. Clarke's prediction way back in 1945 that artificial satellites placed in a geostationary orbit could be used to relay radio signals around the world — but we had no idea that 11 years later, he revisited his famous essay "Extra-Terrestrial Relays — Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?" to predict the GPS… and more.
In a 1956 letter to Andrew Haley of the American Rocket Society, Clarke expanded on his earlier theories and wrote:
" ...the three stations in the 24-hour orbit could provide not only an interference- and censorship-free global TV service for the same power as a single modern transmitter, but could also make possible a position-finding grid whereby anyone on earth could locate himself by means of a couple of dials on an instrument about the size of a watch."
Clarke went on to say that:
"...no one on the planet need ever get lost or become out of touch with the community, unless he wanted to be. I'm still thinking about the social consequences of this!"
So are we, Sir Arthur. So are we!

text: 2013 proved to be another goal-drenched year for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star helped himself to 34 of them in the 2012/13 Liga season, a haul beaten only by Lionel Messi's 45, and scored a hatful more in Europe and for his national team. Always on top form for Real Madrid and Portugal, the flying forward, who won the FIFA World Player award in 2008, is only gaining in stature with Los Merengues, and it came as no surprise when he extended his contract with the club to 2018 and said he was considering staying put for the rest of his career.

Governors are called upon to speak so often, he said, that they all simply adjust and get better with practice.
His answer rings true. Almost everyone fears public speaking. It seems to be human nature. Some people are just more motivated to overcome the aversion than others.
What I would find tedious if I were Tomblin is constantly repeating myself. He will have to do that.
Every governor stocks his brain with lines that he uses over and over, modifying them to suit the occasion.
I'll be interested to see if Tomblin has his predecessor's affinity for hand shaking.
All politicians shake hands, but none more thoroughly than Manchin.
He starts as soon as he enters a room and moves workmanlike from person to person. His grip is firm, his greeting is warm - I've never seen anyone do it better.
Tomblin couldn't go wrong by adopting this style. I just hope he gets a flu shot.
If he is an introvert, Tomblin has a way of forging connections. Here's an example.
Years ago, when he was newly elected, I covered the Senate as a reporter.
In those days, reporters sat at a table in the front of the Senate chamber. We stared at the senators and they at us throughout the 60-day regular session. We also saw them in committee meetings. We certainly got to know each other.
On the last day of his first session, Tomblin presented each of the female reporters - I think there were three of us - with a beautiful red rose.
It was a sweet gesture, especially for someone who didn't seek much coverage. Not surprisingly in hindsight, he wasn't one of those who would stand to be recognized and launch into long monologues.
The fact that I remember that rose so many years later may be a clue about Tomblin's ability to interact with people.
He may be quiet, but I'm betting he will rise to the demands of his new job.
If he weren't good with people, he wouldn't have done so well at herding the preening cats in the Senate for a historic 15 years.

Brad Dickson's humor column, "Breaking Brad" appears daily on Omaha.com and in The World-Herald. To read more from Brad, check out his past columns at omaha.com/dickson and follow him on Twitter.
* * * * * * * * * *
Brad's afternoon edition. Click here to read his morning edition.
* Forbes magazine released its annual list of billionaires on Monday. This is really no surprise: Two of the top 20 billionaires are Omaha gas station owners.
* Even though by law their pay cannot be affected by the sequester, give 'em credit, members of Congress are cutting back. On recess, instead of electric golf carts, they're using caddies.
* It's just one stupid move after another in Washington. President Obama introduced his nominee to head the EPA on Monday. To accommodate all the media present, half the rose garden was mowed down.
* The 2013 Iditarod began Sunday. After watching the start of the race, I think I've found the key to getting around on Omaha side streets the first couple days after a heavy snow – sled dogs.
* On Sunday night, the band Maroon 5 rocked a sold-out CenturyLink Center. Actually, due to the tough sequester cuts that just kicked in, the group is now Maroon 4.
* The U.S. Postal Service will launch its own clothing line. You think stores are crowded during back-to-school week now, just wait until teenagers can look like the guy who delivers their mail.
* Scientists have identified a species of jellyfish that is said to be immortal. The best thing about being immortal is getting to live long enough to see the widening of 144th and Blondo completed.
* Saturday was proclaimed the first annual "National Day of Unplugging." It proved popular with all except for those on iron lungs.
* Dennis Rodman has completed an apparently successful diplomatic mission to North Korea. Instead of the president and Congress, maybe we should put Rodman in charge of solving the sequester. I think the odds of a solution are slightly better.
* Rodman's trip worked out so well that we're sending Chad Johnson to broker peace in the Middle East and Carrot Top will represent us at the next G-17 Summit.
* Dennis Rodman said on the show "This Week": "(Kim Jong Un) loves basketball. And I said the same thing. I said, 'Obama loves basketball.' Let's start there." Washington is so messed up, the closest thing to common sense is coming from Dennis Rodman.
* In North Korea, Rodman told dictator Kim Jong Un, "You have a friend for life." Which is saying something for a guy who ignored Phil Jackson for one entire season.
* News has broken of a possible Led Zeppelin reunion in 2014. After the story came out, a chorus of longtime Zeppelin fans said, "What? Did you say something?"
* After one season, CBS has canceled "The Jeff Probst Show." How great would it have been if, when they gave Probst the news, CBS executives said, "The tribal council has spoken"?
* Bo Pelini participated in the Huskers' new Harlem Shake video. I'd have been less surprised to learn that a U.S. Supreme Court justice halted debate to do some planking.
* Pelini invited the media to attend spring workouts. This means there's a good chance we'll see the first hostile press conference of 2013 while there's still snow on the ground.
* In a recent stretch, Creighton played the Evansville Purple Aces and the Saint Mary's Gaels. This was to capitalize on that all-important selection committee rule awarding seeds based on the weirdness of the opponents' nickname.

By Niluksi Koswanage KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian officials are poring over CCTV footage and questioning immigration officers and guards at Kuala Lumpur's international airport, concerned that a security breach may be connected to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. Suspicions that the Beijing-bound Boeing jet, which vanished on Saturday with 239 people on board, may have been hijacked or bombed have risen after at least two passengers were found to be using stolen passports, though Malaysia's government stressed it was considering all possibilities. Malaysian investigators, assisted by the FBI, are probing the identities of four passengers in particular, two Malaysian officials with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters. The four comprise two travelers with European passports, possibly Ukrainian, in addition to two travelling on stolen Austrian and Italian passports, the sources said.

Obama's Inauguration In LEGO Form
LEGOLAND California has a new scene on display from now until Memorial Day -- the 56th Presidential Inauguration featuring Barack Obama and a thousand other plastic figurines that only slightly resemble who they're supposed to!
More than one-thousand mini-figures have been created out of thousands of LEGO bricks to be a part of the festivities. Mini-figures include President-elect Obama and his family, Vice President-elect Joseph Biden and Jill Biden, President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynn Cheney along with former President George Bush Sr. and Barbara Bush. Other mini-figures depicting ceremony participants include: Senator Dianne Feinstein, Dr. Rick Warren, Aretha Franklin, John Williams and performers Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo-Ma, Gabriela Montero, Anthony McGill, the Unites States Marine Band, the San Francisco Boys Chorus and the San Francisco Girls Chorus. Park guests can also find Oprah Winfrey in the crowd witnessing this momentous event...
Wow, sounds like some real eye-candy. Too bad I'm going to the actual inauguration. Look for me -- I'll be the one carrying the 'Geekologie Writer In 2011' sign. I know, I was drunk when I got them printed.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Dec 21, 2010
The swift passage and signing of the landmark tax bill drove the economy to the No. 1 spot in the news agenda last week.
From December 12-19, the economy accounted for 26% of the newshole studied in the weekly news index of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. That is somewhat less than the 40% focused on the economy the week before, but is consistent with recent weeks of intense media attention to the subject.
More than any other issue, the tax bill drove last week's economic coverage, accounting for about two-thirds of it. A mix of other items, including the omnibus spending bill, the debate over earmarks, and news about holiday retail sales, were factors, too.

In 1955 I was born "stateless" in Munich, Germany, to refuge parents with whom I subsequently emigrated to New York City. Grew up mostly in New York and New Jersey, with three years in Indiana. In between or concurrent with formal education I've had many non-academic jobs. Published two books of poems, and many essays on 18th- and 19th- century novels, poetics, and life as a teacher and writer. My work as a scholar enriches my poetry writing, and vice-versa.

Ask someone to name Georgia's most prized export and you'll get varied responses.
Peaches, pecans, peanuts (we like P's) and exotic dancers are among our many claims to fame.
But what about plataspids? Bean plataspids to be precise.
Sounds yummy, but you'd best not eat them. After all, it's what THEY eat that makes them special — the tiny insects devour kudzu, the South's least favorite plant.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports the bugs, first found in Georgia near Athens, have spread to almost all of Georgia, South Carolina, a big chunk of North Carolina and four Alabama counties.
You can't blame them for avoiding Mississippi.
The bugs fly high, so recent winds from Hurricane Irene may have shot the little guys clear up to Canada, where, believe it or not, kudzu grows.
Researchers in Athens say the insects reduce the amount of kudzu foliage by a third in test plots. They also dine on another pesky plant, Wisteria, which has the good manners to at least be pretty when blooming.
The news isn't all good: Other members of the legume family considered useful (and profitable) — peanuts and soybeans — are also targeted by the tiny winged beasts.
Kudzu — which can grow a foot a day — became widespread in the '30s and '40s when the U.S. government planted it far and wide to reduce soil erosion. It's taken over vast swaths since — spreading at the rate of 150,000 acres per year.
Bean plataspids, unlike struggling artists, will never go hungry.

Man At Arms
Trap Jaw
Ram Man
Tri Klops
Battle Cat
Which of the classic characters do you wish went along with He-Man and Skeletor and stayed there?
Who has the Power?
I believe the question is, which character do you wish came with He-man from Eternia and made the journey to Primus. As for me, it's an easy question to answer. One of the regrets I always had about my involvement with the series was that I did not press to have Battle Cat make the journey with He-man. In hindsight -- which, of course, is often frustratingly 20/20 -- having Battle Cat would have added to the action and created some great dramatic thrusts, and perhaps whole episodes until themselves. Imo, it was a missed opportunity.
Thank you. I know how to answer now. You think Evil-Lyn or Beast Man would be there. Although, it would make sense that Tri-Klops would go, as he is the techno savy guy in Skeletor's gang.
I didn't know Battlecat was not in NA! That seems blasphemous!
RIP Andy Conrad.
Apart from Battle Cat, None of them.
I think one of the best things about the series is that it's just He-Man and Skeletor, their conflict taken to a whole new time and place. However, I wish there had been guest appearances throughout the series, it would have been fun to see Man at Arms meet the Scientists, Evil Lyn meet Crita or Hordak meet Flogg.
"Evil can never defeat good!"
"Don't be ridiculous, of course it can!"
He-Man and Skeletor in 'Crack in the World'.
I voted for Man-At-Arms and Teela. They along with He-Man were pretty much the only characters I cared about back when I was a kid.
None of the other heroic warriors or evil warriors mattered to me back then. They had to miniscule a role back then for me to even know about them, let alone care for them.
Fictional characters are just that. Fictional. They have no personality or free will of their own.
Writers and editors mold them to their own wants and needs.
All we as the audience and fans can do is pick and choose our favorite interpretation and ignore the rest.
but if I must go with someone it would be Gwildor. lol. he adds wisdom & comic re leaf & he can time travel.
If would choose for Skeletor I'd go with Trap-Jaw. just because i think he would be useful & he fits in with Skeletors new crew of mutants.
Tri-Klops & Beastman would be good to but they are better left behind. they were used to much back on Eternia. Beastman is to primitive & stupid. Skeletor I think has had enough of him. Tri-Klops on the other hand would be most usful to Skeletor. but I cant see why he keeps serving Skeletor.

Ghosts of Mars (2001) – Directed by John Carpenter – Starring Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge, Jason Statham, Pam Grier, Clea DuVall, and Joanna Cassidy.
Look, I have a lot of love for John Carpenter. I think his passion for film is every bit as strong as any other American cinematic auteur, and there's so much passion in the way he makes movies that I can overlook a lot of the lack of refinement.
GHOSTS OF MARS puts that to the test.
This is a movie that was released in 2001 – and not because it was found in a vault with leftover films from the 1970s. But that's what it looks like, with special effects that look decidedly old school. Maybe that was the intent or maybe that's all they had in the budget, but for the first time in his career, Carpenter's work feels a bit too anachronistic to overcome.
If the story, the dialogue, and the acting were exceptional, of course, I could get past the weak model work, but they're all lacking, and for all of GHOSTS looking like a movie 20 years older than it actually is, it's that failure of story, of dialogue, and of acting that sinks this film.
The plot is simple enough – Melanie Ballard (Natasha Henstridge) is a member of a police unit assigned to pick up prisoner Desolation Williams (Ice Cube). The team includes leader Helena Braddock (Pam Grier), new addition Nathan Jericho (Jason Statham), and two younger officers: Kincaid and Descanso (Clea Duvall and Liam White). They get into a train to head on out to the mining town prison where Williams is being held. When they arrive, the town is deserted except for a few deranged miners and some prisoners. It turns out the miners have been infected with a red cloud of badness full of disembodied spirits.
Williams' crew tricks Jericho into letting them inside the prison, where they turn on the cops to let Williams out, except that Ballard locks them all up, which leads to Williams and Ballard cutting a deal. Then the cops and robbers team up to kill the possessed miners, who are more than happy to try and kill them back.
If you just talk it out, the story seems perfectly suitable, but for some reason Carpenter has decided to clunk up his film with all manner of flashbacks. The movie opens at the end of this mining colony adventure, as Ballard is the only person on the returning train. She's called in for questioning and then tells us the inquisition panel her story. Which is fine, except that when we get into the story, the people inside it give us more flashbacks and it just gets too repetitive. It bogs the film down. Case in point – when the cops arrive at the mining colony, the team splits up. We stick with Ballard and Jericho and then later when they reconnect with Descanso, he relates what happened to him and we see it through a flashback.
Why? What's wrong with following along with two subplots at the same time? Why get all of one, and then get all of the other one, when the two events were happening concurrently?
The characters are a problem, too, a condition that's not helped by the acting. Statham is a decent enough actor, but Jericho is a horrid character, more interested in trying to get laid than anything else, even in the middle of a mission. Ice Cube is fine playing the sneering bad ass, but we're told that Williams is this ultimate bad ass and then we never see it. Is Carpenter engaging in a critique of the Age of Hyperbole that we're living in, or is it just a stupidly conceived character?
It's the latter, I'm guessing.
The biggest problem is Henstridge's Ballard, however. Cube at least has some real charisma to help him power through this role and overcome the script's deficiencies, but Henstridge is a weak actress playing a weak character. That Ballard says stupid things is on Carpenter; that Henstridge delivers most of her lines as if she memorized them 10 minutes before the performance is on her. It's a completely wooden performance in a film that's desperately crying out for a charismatic lead. Maybe it wouldn't have ultimately made a huge difference in the film, but if Cube and Henstridge switched roles, I think we would've seen an improvement.
There's just so little chemistry anywhere in GHOSTS OF MARS that it makes for a hard watch. Now, there's plenty of killing and action, so if you like post-apocalyptic movies, GHOSTS OF MARS will probably do the trick as a way to spend 90 minutes of your life and not feel totally cheated. (Well, it will probably do half the trick, but you get the meaning.) It's not a horrible movie, but it's certainly not a good one. Carpenter didn't deserve to disappear for an entire decade (coming back with 2011′s The Ward) but he needs stronger material than GHOSTS to allow his strengths as a director to really come through.

Title Tag Awareness 101
<< by Amanda Sides on May 3rd, 2009
In Rebecca Lieb's book The Truth About Search Engine Optimization, there is a great section on title tags and their importance. If you do not have this book, go buy it! It is a great resource for SEO beginners, and a great resource to help put complex terminology in words that are better understood.
Most search engine optimization specialists will say the most important factor in determining high rankings is the title tag. It is a basic element of every online HTML page. The title tag text displays in the clickable link within a search engine result. Adjusting the content of your title tag is one of the quickest and easiest ways to improve a pages ranking, and increase click counts on that link. The title tag helps search engines along with searchers have a clearer understanding of the website's content.
