OK House takes up regulations on e-cigs
Patrick B. McGuigan

Bills under consideration in the Oklahoma House of Representatives this week touch the use, and possible regulation, of electronic smoking devices (ESDs), widely known as e-cigarettes but called personal vaporizers by many advocates and retailers.
Two of the bills would place some regulation of E-cig sales within the same broad title of state law as tobacco products, while fashioning regulatory limitations and some protections for the devices. Either of those could represent a slowing of the anti-e-cigarette juggernaut in Oklahoma over the last year, financed in large part by a state government agency.
Most notable of the pending bills, perhaps, is House Bill 3104, by state Reps. Mike Jackson, R-Enid, and Jon Echols, R-Oklahoma City, which would ban youth sales of vapor products "which may or may not contain nicotine." Jackson is speaker pro temp for the Republican majority in the House.
The measure specifies that such e-products "do not include any products regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration. " H.B. 3104 is companion legislation to Senate Bill 1602, advocated in the upper chamber by Sen. Rob Johnson, R-Yukon.
The measure's stated objectives are supported by grass roots activists (consumers and small retailers) organized through the Oklahoma Vapor Action League (OVAL), and draws sympathetic scrutiny from businesses like Reynolds American Services, an arm of R.J. Reynolds developing non-smoking products, including e-cigs.
A third proposal is House Bill 2904, by state Rep. Pat Ownbey, R-Ardmore. The measure would expand the definition of "tobacco products" explicitly to include "electronic smoking devices."
Ownbey and other advocates say H.B. 2904 is consistent with existing federal law and court rulings, and does not create new taxation. Critics of the bill, however, believe it is a prelude to new regulations on and taxation of both e-cigarettes and some emerging tobacco products.
Alex Weintz, Gov. Mary Fallin's spokesman, told CapitolBeatOK it was too early to "comment on specific legislation that is still evolving. However, the governor's general philosophy on e-cigarettes is that they should not be sold to minors, they should be responsibly regulated, and the public should be educated that there are possible health risks associated from their use."
In December, Fallin promulgated an executive order
banning e-cigs on state property
Fallin's views on possible health issues for e-cigarettes parallel those of her Cabinet Health Secretary, Dr. Terry Cline.
In response to an emailed question to Cline from Oklahoma Watchdog, Leslea Bennett-Webb, communications director at the state Health Department, declined to comment directly on the Jackson-Echols-Johnson bills.
However, she said, "Our preference is H.B. 2904, which provides a straight forward, no nonsense approach to restricting youth access to electronic cigarettes and other vaping products under the Youth Access to Tobacco Act, expanding the existing definition of tobacco products to include 'electronic smoking devices.'"
Like others in the e-cig saga, Bennett-Webb desires an FDA ruling on e-cigs. She believes the devices are "tobacco derived products" which will ultimately be subject to FDA regulation.
She concluded, however, "We do not propose that these products be subject to tobacco taxation.
In December, just days before Gov. Fallin issued an executive decree
banning use of e-cigarettes on state property, Cline promulgated a "
health advisory
" critical of recent efforts
to keep e-cigarettes out of regulatory gun-sites
Although Cline has said there are "no credible studies performed on the safety or efficacy of electronic cigarettes," the "advisory" was interpreted a call to equate the devices with tobacco for public health purposes.
Sen. Brian Crain, R-Tulsa, who conducted a day-long hearing on e-cigarette issues, wrote Cline on Dec. 11, 2013, asking him to review three studies pointing to the comparative safety of "vaping products" and their utility in tobacco cessation. Sen. Crain asked Secretary Cline to respond before the start of the state legislative session on Feb. 3 -- but as of this weekend he had not received any answers.
As the bills moved onto the legislative calendar, a sign of what may be a contentious day or two of debate came late Friday, as Doug Matheny, a former state employee known for his passionate antagonism to tobacco and, more recently, to e-cigs, visited reporters and legislative staff at the Capitol. He assailed both H.B. 3104 and S.B. 1603, calling on legislators "to serve children, not the tobacco industry." Matheny is also opposed provisions in the proposals that would treat smokeless tobacco products differently than smoked tobacco, per se.
Defending H.B. 3104 and S.B. 1602 is Sean Gore, OVAL's director.
Gore said his members want to "protect our youth while at the same time looking out for the safety and interest of adult smokers wanting to quit and ex-smokers who have effectively used e-cigarettes as a means to move away from tobacco."
In his most recent interview with CapitolBeatOK, Gore -- owner and operator of a vapor products business in addition to his leadership role with OVAL -- pointed to independent and peer-reviewed studies he contends find e-cigarettes far "more effective than the so call unsuccessful cessation products pushed by the health organizations."
He also said, "To overlook these studies and push for a definition of and taxation as tobacco on a product that contains no tobacco what so ever would not only be a huge disservice to Oklahoman's across this state, but would have a catastrophic effect by driving more individuals back to tobacco."
The Oklahoma debate has drawn national attention, including from David Howard, senior director of communications for Reynolds American Services, linked to R.J. Reynolds Co.
Howard's firm is involved in development of both smokeless tobacco alternatives and in creation of newer non-tobacco vapor products.
He told CapitolBeatOK, "The bottom line is, e-cigarettes are different from traditional combustible cigarettes – they do not contain tobacco, there is no burning and therefore there is no smoke. Because they are different, we believe they should be defined differently and treated differently when it comes to taxation and use restrictions."
On the tax question, lurking at the edge of this week's Oklahoma debate, Howard commented, "If taxed at all, e-cigarettes should have a much lower tax than that of cigarettes or other tobacco products. As for use restrictions, as there is no secondhand smoke, we believe e-cigarettes should not be restricted the same as traditional cigarettes."

Why Dont You Come With Me, On A Mythical Carpet Ride
Dena Frandsen
I like to dream, yes Explore the psyche- On a cloud of sound I drift in the night Fairies, freaks Tantric kisses replacing touch Birthed from within Well, you dont know what we can find. Sweat cascading down heaving breasts Ancient truths, instinct container, Remind me, O Mother, where have we been? Where primal beats wake primal minds Gluing fragile wings of glory You dont know what we can see Amnesia, fetish, bipolar, oh my Close your eyes girl! Let the burn take you away
Last night I held Aladdins lamp And so I wished that I could stay And dance, and drink, immerse, enfold Before the thing could answer me I looked around, Well, you dont know what we can find Glows that pull, A lustful arcade Windows into the wishing well Why dont you come with me little girl? Opened wide for all To love! Exhale
A jazz oasis, Meditation, Generosity; Unacceptable Mediocrity! Well, you dont know what we can see Let the burn take you away
Right between my sound machine
I like to dance, yes
On the Black Rock,
Burning Mans erotic cosmology
Where Psyche is birthed on Playas ground
Wordless music all around.
If you dare,
Imagine abyss residing there.
Any place it goes is right
Goes far,
flies near,
to the stars away from here.
Forces and fire
Leopards and lovers
Subconscious desire.
Sex and soul standing tall
Beside The Disgusting Spectacle.
coming to life from out her dust;
down from the cosmos,
starlit trust.
this psyche of mine
Visual image becomes Divine.
Why dont you come with me little girl?
On a mythical carpet ride
Disappearing into every breath,
Tears of Prayers and sounds of sighs.
Swarming clouds of butterflies,
intoxicating winks of the Lotus eye.
Carried through playa
with a magical flute player.
Reptilian brain, its rhythm finds.
Angry beats, dancing beats
Pulsing bodies around the drum.
Burdened beats, radiating beats.
Tribal poundings,
Trance, dance, chance,
Elucid dreams of pressure
back onto the child.
Why dont you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free
Delirium, gestalt, ego reply
Between the shores of contrast and peace
Timelessness, space and liberty.
Imagination find girl!
Look inside girl,
A mirror of chaos perhaps youll spy!
And so I wished that I could stay
A whirling dervish where the phoenix flies
Dream filled minds vibrating cry.
And dance with sun at ancient pace
Uncover psyche, her pieces hold...
Well, someone came,
& took the lamp away.
I looked around,
a lousy candle is all I found.
Circus stilts I see
Humankind climbing history.
I looked around,
Sacred temples I see
Humankind in silent reverie.
On a mythical carpet ride
Lamps that lead,
Guiding costumed believers
Down darkened streets.
where some can hide,
Temples of release,
Emotions start to metabolize.
Secrets out, the world to tell!
On a mythical carpet ride
Why dont you fly with me little girl?
Through frozen silence of archetype.
Heebeegee yoga, lunashine,
Irrational geographic, bedlam at nine
Spiraling wings dig down new heights.
Witch, great warrior, Goddess,
gentle giants delight.
Patterns, masks, screaming men in white robes,
Who see
embody your dream,
Lace petal lips encircle the crowd,
The tender touch of a floral kiss
The Pollen of Kindness,
Why dont you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free!
Close your eyes girl,
Look inside girl,

Publisher: Everyman Chess Author: Gary Lane Year of Publication: 2010
Pages: 192Notation Type: Figurine (FAN)
There's no escaping the fact: if you want to win chess games, you have to attack at some point. Many players are happy solving combinations in winning positions, when the hard work is already done, but the key to a successful attack undoubtedly comes much earlier. No-one can attack effectively if they haven't prepared properly, and yet planning in chess can be a difficult technique to master, even for experienced players.This book provides a solution. Using an abundance of illustrative games and examples, Gary Lane answers the questions which constantly puzzle players of all levels. How should I plan after the opening? Where are my opponent's weaknesses? Do I have enough pieces in the attack? When should I strike? Do I need to sacrifice? Should I cash in or continue to attack? Read this book, discover the answers and attack with confidence!
Gary Lane is a professional chess player and author. He became an International Master in 1987 and won the Commonwealth Chess Championship in 1988 (jointly with Michael Adams). He is a highly respected author having written over twenty books on chess.

Blame It On The Alcohol
Girl, you are lucky it's New Years Eve because by 12:01 tonight, someone might be drunk enough to ruin their 2011.
Blame It On The Alcohol, -
In Florida, an atheist created a case against Easter and Passover Holydays. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holydays. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring: "Case dismissed!" The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying: "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays…"
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying: "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant." The lawyer said: "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists." The judge said: "The calendar says 'April 1st is April Fools Day'. Psalm 14:1 states: 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned…"
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
A farmer knocked on the door of a neighboring farmhouse and a youngster answered his knock. The farmer asked: "Is your father or mother at home?" The child said that they were both in town.
The farmer then asked if his brother, Harold, was at home. The youngster said he was at the other farm doing chores.
The youngster said: "I'm nine years old, sir, and I know where all the tools and wrenches are located, so I can get that for you."
The farmer said he had a problem he had to talk to his father about. The farmer's daughter was pregnant, and his brother, Harold, was the father.The youngster looked the man in the eye for a minute and said: "I don't know what to tell you, mister, Dad gets $50.00 for the boar, $500.00 for the bull, but I'm not sure what he charges for Harold."
It's not a tube top, you can see something blue underneath her ponytail. It's a halter top. ,,,A halter top that probably looks pretty nice on a woman that doesn't look like she's stealing two foot-long subs by sneaking them under the back of her shirt. As for the for bra, well…. I can't imagine what she was thinking, but I also don't WANT to imagine what that shirt looks like while her boobs are flopping around. She should have left that shirt on the WM clearance rack where she found it. :-/
@ Sean B
A woman with curves is one thing — There are alot of attractive women with curves who dress nice and take care of themselves. This person just appears to be a SLOB, who doesn't give a shit anymore or never did for that matter. No self respecting woman big or small would leave the house looking like this. All of your posts seem to suggest that you would screw anything with such low self-esteem that you would make them feel like you were doing them a favor. All the while you are just satisfying some weird and perverted fetish that you have.

I want to ask each of you to consider doing the following when you are talking on the phone to any US customer service representative that is based in a foreign country (like India ). I have done this twice and it works! Any time you call… an 800 number (for a credit card, banking, charter communications, health insurance, insurance, you name it) and you are transferred to a representative (like in India), please consider doing the following:
After you connect and you realize that the customer service representative is not from the USA (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please very politely (this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United States of America ." The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the USA ." YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED to a rep in the USA . It only takes less than one minute to have your call re- directed to the USA . Tonight when I got redirected to a USA rep, I asked again to make sure – and yes, she was from Fort Lauderdale .Imagine if tomorrow, every US citizen who has to make such a call and then requests a US rep, imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of US jobs that would need to be created ASAP. Imagine what would happen if every US citizen insisted on talking to only US phone reps from this day on.
If I tell 10 people to consider this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this – see what I mean…it becomes an exercise in viral marketing 101.Remember – the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home – not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. If you agree, please tell 10 people you know and tell them to tell 10 people they know….etc…etc…
They look just like this in Indiana too. Amazing, I thought that through natural selection we would only have beautiful and intelligent people walking around by now. Let's all work together to get a handle on this. Tell all your friends and family: STOP knocking up the ugly fat girls!! Don't be sexist either; it goes both ways: Ladies, STOP getting knocked up by ugly fat guys with no job!!
Ok, so the real dirt is this , its a top she loves and just cant get rid of. You can see the white tag of the shirt just below the bra. Now the kicker , shes wearing a bikini top ~ what are you kidding ~ no she has a blue bikini top that is tied across the buldge then is tied over her neck like normal. Just imagine where her boobs would be if she was not wearing the bra..

Recipe by Laugh Often
"Easy Peanut Butter Cookies"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 (18 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
The cookies turned out great! I did tweak the recipe a bit though. It seemed a bit too dry, so I added an extra egg and about a teaspoon of water. Just for fun I added some M & Ms to some of the cookies, and they taste great! But they are great without too!!! :o)
I added apple sauce and these came out PERFECT!
7 Ratings
The cookies tasted good but they were way too dry. If I ever make this recipe again I'll add a whole stick of butter and another egg but I don't think I'll bother to again.
I used butter the first time and found them a little too dry. I used vegetable oil instead of butter the next time. It was much better and the taste wasn't any different. I used to make a similiar cookie with smooth peanut butter on a much larger scale at a coffee shop in Las Vegas where I worked. It was always a big hit!
Easy recipe, good ingredients...two bits of a so so issue. #1 Very crumbly...very. Makes sure to really work each little ball smooth before placing it on the cookie sheet and pressing with a fork. I used a small scooper and my 1st tray was very crumbly when I picked them up while still warm & after they were cooled. Totally work the cookie dough good. And possibly add either 1/4 cup more butter OR an additional egg for better binding. #2 even though there was 1 small 18 jar of peanut butter to the batch...I thought it needed just a tad more possibly 1/2 cup more. That's just me. But other then that.

In case RIM is listening --- Feature request - Notification setting for bedside mode
I would LOVE it if each notification setting would have a Bedside Mode Setting.
This way i could have my facebook notifications sound notification go off while still keeping my SMS sound on. Goes the same for others.
Right now i just leave the sound for facebook completely off because i dont feel like changing it to silent before going to bed ever night.There is no stupid question, its okay if it has been answered before(i hate the search function too), its a FORUM not a FAQ page. Fear not the flamers and the people that make you feel like an moron. There are good people that want to help you. - 11-02-2012, 01:15 AM #2

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Again and again, decade after decade, an array of authorities--police chiefs, prosecutors, pastors and local Boy Scout leaders among them--quietly shielded scoutmasters and others accused of molesting children, a newly opened trove of confidential papers shows.
At the time, those authorities justified their actions as necessary to protect the good name and good works of Scouting, a pillar of 20th century America. But as detailed in 14,500 pages of secret "perversion files" released Thursday by order of the Oregon Supreme Court, their maneuvers allowed sexual predators to go free while victims suffered in silence.
The files are a window on a much larger collection of documents the Boy Scouts of America began collecting soon after their founding in 1910. The files, kept at Boy Scout headquarters in Texas, consist of memos from local and national Scout executives, handwritten letters from victims and their parents and newspaper clippings about legal cases. The files contain details about proven molesters, but also unsubstantiated allegations.
The allegations stretch across the country and to military bases overseas, from a small town in the Adirondacks to downtown Los Angeles.
At the news conference Thursday, Portland attorney Kelly Clark blasted the Boy Scouts for their continuing legal battles to try to keep the full trove of files secret.
"You do not keep secrets hidden about dangers to children," said Clark, who in 2010 won a landmark lawsuit against the Boy Scouts on behalf of a plaintiff who was molested by an assistant scoutmaster in the 1980s.
The Associated Press obtained copies of the files weeks in advance of Thursday's release and conducted an extensive review of them.
The files were shown to a jury in a 2010 Oregon civil suit that the Scouts lost, and the Oregon Supreme Court ruled the files should be made public. After months of objections and redactions, the Scouts and Clark released them.
In many instances--more than a third, according to the Scouts' own count--police weren't told about the reports of abuse. And even when they were, sometimes local law enforcement still did nothing, seeking to protect the name of Scouting over their victims.
Victims like three brothers, growing up in northeast Louisiana.
On the afternoon of Aug. 10, 1965, their distraught mother walked into the third floor of the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office. A 31-year-old scoutmaster, she told the chief criminal deputy, had raped one of her sons and molested two others.
Six days later, the scoutmaster, an unemployed airplane mechanic, sat down in front of a microphone in the same station, said he understood his rights and confessed: He had sexually abused the woman's sons more than once.
"I don't know how to tell it," the man told a sheriff's deputy. "They just occurred--I don't know an explanation, why we done it or I done it or wanted to do it or anything else it just--an impulse I guess or something.
"As far as an explanation I just couldn't dig one up."
He wouldn't have to. Seven days later, the decision was made not to pursue charges against the scoutmaster.
The last sliver of hope for justice for the abuse of two teenagers and an 11-year-old boy slipped away in a confidential letter from a Louisiana Scouts executive to the organization's national personnel division in New Jersey.
"This subject and Scouts were not prosecuted," the executive wrote, "to save the name of Scouting."
An Associated Press review of the files found that the story of these brothers and their scoutmaster, however horrendous, was not unique.
The files released Thursday were collected between 1959 and 1985, with a handful of others from later years. Some have been released previously, but others--those from prior to 1971, including the story of the three scouts in Ouachita Parish--have been made public for the first time.
The documents reveal that on many occasions the files succeeded in keeping pedophiles out of Scouting leadership positions--the reason why they were collected in the first place. But the files are also littered with horrific accounts of alleged pedophiles who were able to continue in Scouting because of pressure from community leaders and local Scouts officials.
The files also document other troubling patterns. There is little mention in the files of concern for the welfare of Scouts who were abused by their leaders, or what was done for the victims. But there are numerous documents showing compassion for alleged abusers, who were often times sent to psychiatrists or pastors to get help.
In 1972, a local Scouting executive beseeched national headquarters to drop the case against a suspected abuser because he was undergoing professional treatment and was personally taking steps to solve his problem. "If it don't stink, don't stir it," the local executive wrote.
Scouting's efforts to keep abusers out were often disorganized. There's at least one memo from a local Scouting executive pleading for better guidance on how to handle abuse allegations. Sometimes the pleading went the other way, with national headquarters begging local leaders for information on suspected abusers, and the locals dragging their feet.
In numerous instances, alleged abusers are kicked out of Scouting but show up in jobs where they are once again in authority positions dealing with youths.
The files also show Scouting volunteers serving in the military overseas, molesting American children living abroad and sometimes continuing to molest after returning to the states.
But one of the most startling revelations to come from the files is the frequency with which attempts to protect Scouts from molesters collapsed at the local level, at times in collusion with community leaders.
It happened when a local district attorney declined to prosecute two confessed offenders; when a three-judge panel included two men on the local Scouting executive board; when law enforcement sought to protect the name of Scouting and let an admitted child molester go free.
Their actions represent a stark betrayal, says Clark, who won the case that opened the files to public view. "It's kind of a deal. The deal is, our society will give you incredible status and respect, Norman Rockwell will paint pictures of you, and in exchange for that, you take care of our kids," Clark said. "That's the deal, incredible respect and privilege. But there was a worm in the apple."
The Louisiana case certainly contained all the essentials for a police investigation and, perhaps, a conviction: The scoutmaster admitted to raping a 17-year-old boy on a camping trip and otherwise sexually molesting two other boys; the victims corroborated his confession. But evidently, no charges were ever filed.
The man was let off with a warning that should he be found with young men in the future, he was subject to immediate incarceration at the state prison.
The man "was asked to leave the parish, and if he was caught around or near any boy or youth organization, he would be sent to state prison immediately," a Scouting executive wrote to national headquarters. "We are indeed sorry that Scouting was involved."

The comeback of nuclear energy and fossil fuels as well as hard times for solar energy and technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) were the highlights of a conference organised by the French Institute for International Relations (IFRI) which took place yesterday in Brussels (16 February) [more about the event].
Philip Lowe, European Commission Director General for Energy, said the Fukushima nuclear disaster had in fact led to "significant decisions" only in one country, Germany.
In May last year, Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government agreed that Germany will shut all its nuclear reactors by 2022. But almost simultaneously, ten EU member countries confirmed their commitment to developing nuclear energy, Lowe said, suggesting the technology still had a bright future ahead of it.
The acceptance factor
The EU official stressed the public acceptance factor regarding nuclear, but also other types of energy. Taking the UK as an example, he said an overwhelming majority of MPs in the House of Commons had voted in favour of nuclear energy, with 600 backing the technology and only 80 rejecting it.
In other countries like Austria, by contrast, "politicians can't even mention nuclear, even if they consume nuclear from time to time," Lowe said.
The Commission high official reminded that EU countries are free to decide on their own energy mix but that the debate at national, regional and local level could make the difference in terms of acceptability.
In the UK for instance, there is "massive resistance" to on-shore wind farms, Lowe pointed out.
Electricity 'loop flows'
Returning to Germany's case, Lowe noted that the decision to stop eight nuclear plants after Fukushima had made the country a net importer of electricity.
The supply shortfall coming from nuclear plant closures was expected to be filled with wind energy, he said. But because of a lack of interconnection within Germany, the electricity produced by those wind farms could not by supplied to the consumers directly and had to pass through Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria before reaching them, with the consequent power losses.
He added that the need to maintain electric system stability in Germany had required putting diesel generation and oiled-powered stations back on stream.
Paul Rorive, Member of the executive committee in charge of nuclear development at French energy company GdFSuez, followed up saying that the industry had started to emerge from the shock created by the Fukushima disaster.
Rorive stressed the cost-effectiveness of the nuclear industry and pointed to the huge market which had now opened at the global level.
"We have not been the champions of communication. We have to turn this page," Rorive said.
'Macabre accountancy'
But perhaps the most striking statement at the conference came from a health scientist who is not an energy expert.
In a vibrant plea for the nuclear sector, Jean de Kervasdoué, a health expert who teaches at the French Centre National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM), spoke at length about the misperception of the dangers of radiation.
The speaker puzzled the audience by denouncing the "macabre accountancy" surrounding nuclear incidents, suggesting that the health dangers have been grossly exaggerated.
Kervasdoué pointed to research he did in the 1990s at the Mayak nuclear accident site in Russia, one of the worst in history. The explosion in 1957 of 50-100 tonnes of highly radioactive waste there contaminated a huge territory in the eastern Urals but the Soviet regime took the decision not to evacuate the population after the incident.
Kervasdoué said that much to his surprise, the explosion had left traces on the population that were not different from those seen in average cities contaminated by industry.
He also said that according to a recent WHO research on the 1986 Chernobyl disaster the real number of deaths was only 63 people (a figure which actually does not appear in the report). According to other sources, the Chernobyl accident has caused some 25,000 deaths.
Kervasdoué also compared the number of deaths in the different energy sectors, which placed nuclear power in the most favourable category, together with hydroelectric power.
According to him, 20,000 people have died in coal mines in 2011 alone, and up to 800,000 died from the pollution ceated by coal mining and burning. Regarding the Fukushima nuclear accident, he said that only seven people were contaminated, and not a single death had been caused by radiation so far.

This is our Bike About Town column, which appeared in The Chronicle on May 5, 2011.
It all started with Bill Cunningham, the 80-year-old fashion maven who has biked around Manhattan, photographing street-level fashion for the last 40-odd years. Now the subject of a documentary, "Bill Cunningham New York," his example was my inspiration: Instead of offering do's and don'ts for appropriate Bike to Work Day apparel, why not cruise the streets of San Francisco and report on current bike commuting styles?
Outside the Embarcadero Center Cinema, I spotted my first target: Lisa Torres wore a flared skirt, mini-boots with heels and a black leather jacket. The final touch: She was pushing a bike with flowered panniers.
Torres said, "What I wear to work is what I wear during my bike commute," a 40-minute ride to her research job for the U.S. government. She banishes the idea that a bike ride automatically requires a shower and change of clothing: "I have to say sweat has never been a problem," she says, adding with a smile, "no one has ever complained."

Thats not really issue though. The problem is - that all the really high end instances which everyone (but hardly anyone on most realms) wants to get into will be forgotten about while everyone races to get into the new lvl 80 raid instances.
It's kinda sad that Black Temple and Mount Hyjal will never be run again because green drops and quest rewards from the next expansion will have better stats - because its exactly what happened to AQ, MC, BWL, ZG, Naxx etc. No-one runs those instances for anything.

Leeds West Yorkshire
- Hotel ok. We have been going to the San Jorge for the last 6 years as a group of golfers. It is in a good position for the restaurants of Platja D'Aro and Palamos and is convenient for the golf courses we like to play. Considering the hotel is rated as a 4 star I don't think that the service is fantastic. For instance we have never been offered a hand with our luggage/golf clubs on arrival. I have organised several of the trips personally and feel that the charges for single rooms are excessive compared with double rooms. We have always had to ensure that Golfbreaks confirm in writing that we are allocated rooms with sea views and balconies.

Georges St. Pierre is stepping away from the UFC, as announced during a conference call earlier today (Dec. 13, 2013) where he revealed he would be going on an indefinite hiatus, one that may very well last forever. He relinquished the welterweight championship while saying he needs to step away from the fight game to get his head right. It should come as no surprise that one of the biggest supporters of this decision is current WWE superstar CM Punk, who has long flirted with taking an extended break from pro wrestling and has plans to retire in the near future.

BROCTON - Girl Scouts of Western New York Troop 20025 in Brocton held their annual Court of Awards Ceremony on June 13. The dainty, dainty Daisies earned all of their petals as they completed the It's Your Planet Love It, Between Earth and Sky Journey. As the Daisies took their journey they learned the values of the Girl Scout Law and how to make their world a better place! The Brownie Girl Scouts celebrated that they successfully completed the It's Your Planet Love It, Wonders of Water Journey where they learned all about water and how to conserve it. However, that's not all these Brownies accomplished this year. Several of the Girl Scouts completed additional badge work: First Aid, Girl Scout Way, Senses, Fair Play, Hiker, Philanthropist and World Thinking Day badges. The Junior Girl Scouts got moving making and conserving energy while completing It's Your Planet Love It, Get Moving Journey! These jazzy, jazzy Juniors also completed badge work for First Aid, Girl Scout Way, Digital Photography, Independence, Social Butterfly, Camper and World Thinking Day badges.
The Girl Scouts from Troop 20025 have had a very busy and successful year with much to be proud of. Several of the Girl Scouts attended other programs throughout the year such as Through the Horse's Eyes, the Month of the Young Child at Ahira Hall Memorial Library, the Village of Brocton Water Treatment Plant, Flag Education with veterans, first aid training from EMTs and fire fighters and camping in the fall, winter and spring.
The Girl Scouts made the event even more special by presenting their Leaders (Melissa Seavy, Julie Devlin and Julie Krauter) with an expression of thanks on the Why I Love My Leader wall. Some of the girls drew pictures and others wrote a special poem or a letter. One Girl Scout said they love their Leader because she is always on time. Another had a catchy little poem about how busy their Leader keeps them and said, "While we are camping you always keep us panting." Others were simple thanks for the great field trips. Each one of these tokens of appreciation will be cherished for years to come because just as the Girl Scouts appreciate the Leaders, it's the Leaders that appreciate the girls for being who they are and for making such incredible memories with us, memories that will last us all a lifetime!

Richardson also considered Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Penn State and Texas Christian.

Friday Group Ride #53
I often have friends and co-workers approach me for advice on buying a new bicycle. This is a little bit like approaching Buzz Aldrin for advice on space travel. So much of what I say to them makes no sense, because our contexts are starkly different. I come from Planet Bicycle. They come from Planet Earth.
Once I'm done issuing forth with a quick discursive on componentry and frame materials, which sounds to them like, "bloop, blorg, bleep," I end up saying what I really believe, which is, "You should buy the bike that you think looks the best." The truth, in my opinion, is that for non-bicycle people, most bikes are just the same. This is certainly true at the lower price points they are usually considering. The materials and components on offer are so similar that choosing among them becomes awfully difficult unless you're willing to abandon yourself to aesthetics.
It might seem as though I don't take their requests very seriously, but quite to the contrary, what I really, really wish for is to convert this unsuspecting earthling into a bike person. I want them to fall in love with their bike and with cycling, and become one of us.
And like any love, it starts with attraction. The paint is as crucial as the cranks. Believe it.
And so this week's Group Ride is about the bikes that we think look best. I've posted some of my favorites here. What are yours?

Wilmington Hammerheads
Wilmington Hammerheads
The Wilmington Hammerheads are a minor-league professional soccer team, formed in 1996 by current New Hanover High School soccer coach Al Pastore. The team currently plays in the American Division of the USL Pro League, in the second tier of pro soccer in the United States.
The Hammerheads made the playoffs eight consecutive seasons from 1998 to 2005 and won a regular-season championship in 2009.
The team did not compete in the 2010 season after the USL decided to terminate the contract of the Wilmington franchise due to financial disputes between owner Chuck Sullivan and the league. However, on Nov. 9, 2010, former co-owner Bill Rudisill announced that he and a group of three others would restart the franchise for the 2011 season.
The team is coached by David Irving and plays in the same division as regional rivals Charleston (S.C.), Charlotte, Orlando and Richmond (Va.). All home games are played at Legion Stadium.
The Hammerheads have had success on a national level in the past, winning its league championship in 2003 and defeating MLS franchises in the 2003 and 2009 US Open Cup.

AICN Exclusive INTERNET TRAILER
To be love...a whole life long
If you take a look at the "internet" trailer -- it's not just the ending that is different -- it's been reedited. Beginning at 1:17 is when then changes occur.
1:17-1:19 -- "the wait is over" moved from end to this slot, removed is a panning shot of the crew on the bridge, and the battle scene just after this is fractionally reduced
1:24-1:26 -- scene where Krik has a confrontation with Spock is slightly different timing between the two trailers.
I think it's better! Particularly with old spock at the end.
Can't wait for May! Much more exciting (by appearance) than the old show ever was! Would like to see a bit more of Sulu and Chekov in any upcoming trailers.Our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us. - Matthew Mcconaughey - Interstellar

The left lane of the on-ramp to westbound Borman (80/94) from northbound I-65 is blocked to a car reportedly in the ditch on the south side of the ramp. INDOT reports that the lane may be blocked for about 40-minutes. Drivers northbound on I-65 should expect delays starting north of 45th Avenue and approaching the 295 Exit.
Traffic backed up northbound I-65 between 45th Avenue and RIdge Road due to an earlier wreck that closed the left lane of the on ramp to westbound 80/94.
