Upcoming Events!
Bryan Stevenson
Tuesday November 18
at the Rosa Parks Museum Auditorium
252 Montgomery Street
Montgomery, Alabama
Bryan Stevenson is the executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama, and a professor of law at New York University Law School. He has won relief for dozens of condemned prisoners, argued five times before the Supreme Court, and won national acclaim for his work challenging bias against the poor and people of color. He has received numerous awards, including the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant.
Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer's coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.
Christmas Open House
Featuring 4 Great Writers!
Saturday December 6
Lee Farrow
In the autumn of 1871, Alexis Romanov, the fourth son of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, set sail from his homeland for an extended journey through the United States and Canada. A major milestone in U.S.-Russia relations, the tour also served Duke Alexis's family by helping to extricate him from an unsuitable romantic entanglement with the daughter of a poet. Alexis in America recounts the duke's progress through the major American cities, detailing his meetings with celebrated figures such as Samuel Morse and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and describing the national self-reflection that his presence spurred in the American people.
Lee A. Farrow is professor of history and distinguished teaching professor at Auburn University-Montgomery.
Stacey Little
In the South, a conversation among home cooks can be just about as illuminating as any culinary education. Luckily for Stacey Little, home cooks run in the family. Whether it's fried chicken or pimento cheese, fruit salad or meatloaf, everybody's family does it a little differently. "The Southern Bite" is a celebration of those traditions and recipes every Southern family is proud to own.
Stacey Little is a Southern food blogger. His easy, delicious recipes and heartfelt stories have brought millions to his blog, SouthernBite.com, since he created it in 2008. Stacey s deep Southern roots have him firmly planted in Prattville, Alabama, where he lives with his wife, little boy, two dogs, and his collection of cast iron skillets.
Faye Gibbons
Times are hard in Depression-era Georgia mountain country. Even so, fourteen-year-old Halley Owenby, her younger brother, Robbie, and their parents, Jim and Kate, manage to get by until Jim dies suddenly in an accident, and Kate decides she and her children have no choice but to move in with her parents. Halley wants more. She longs for an education, which she firmly believes would eventually allow choices. Little does she suspect that such dreams might actually come true.
Since the 1980s, Faye Gibbons has been writing award-winning children's books. Her awards include the Children's Book of the Year Award from the Dixie Council of Authors and Journalists, "USA Today"'s Best Books for Kids, and the Child Study Children's Book Committee Book of the Year, Georgia Children's Book, Alabama Reader's Choice, and the Alabama Children's Book awards.. She lives in Deatsville, Ala.
Jeff Benton
Through Others' Eyes includes descriptions of traveling to and from Montgomery, but it focuses on the travelers' descriptions of Montgomery itself. The twenty-eight published accounts between 1825 and 1861 were written by Americans and Europeans with a variety of backgrounds. A few are as objective as can reasonably be expected considering the short durations of the writers' visits. Some are prone to display their preconceptions and prejudices. Most exaggerate-they had to make their books marketable. The accounts are sometimes insightful or incredulous, often humorous and colorful, always giving the reader a vicarious experience of being there. For most of its forty-year antebellum history, Montgomery was a frontier river town. These accounts of it do not reveal moonlight and magnolias, but a rather coarse culture. The touring authors don't mince words about slavery; after all, their readers expected commentary about the most peculiar of Southern institutions. However, the writers' diverse views of slavery are as complicated and contradictory as was the institution itself. Together, these accounts sketch a fascinating world populated by individuals and with customs that would have inspired Charles Dickens had he overcome his prejudices and ventured further south than Richmond in 1842.
Jeffrey Benton, a retired Air Force colonel, has taught history and English at the University of Maryland Far East Division, The Citadel, the Air War College, Auburn University Montgomery, Troy University Montgomery, and The Montgomery Academy. His research interests are currently focused on local history.
Daniel Wallace
Wednesday December 10
Meet Louis Fellini. Louis lived in a time long ago when cats wore clothes, worked in cities, and went on picnics. But the cats dressed all the same, down to the shoes they wore. Louis Fellini was a different sort of cat. He wanted to be himself. But it isn't as easy as you might think to be yourself, especially when everyone else looks the same, when everybody else is a . . . copy cat. But Louis Fellini found a way. He was just that kind of cat. He was the cat s pajamas.
Alabama favorite Daniel Wallace, author of the much beloved "Big Fish" is back in town with his first book for kids.

This rug looks fantastic. It's a great take on leopard without being over-powered by print. It is a great quality for the price. It is a little on the thin side (especially since I'm used to thicker, wool rugs) but a rug pad helped with that. It's a great addition to my master!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this rug! Its perfect, soft, unique and EVERYONE loves it! You still get that leopard look without totally over powering the room. Its kind of thin and I plan to get a nice cushy rug pad to go under it. But I've been eyeing this EXACT rug from another high end catalog (BD) and its about double the price I payed with Overstock...VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE and finding it very hard not to need this rug in every room in the house, haha!!!
It is exactly what I thought it would be. The pile is different from a regular wool rug(high and low) which is a nice mix and gives interesting variety to an area with a group of rugs. The shading also adds a unique dimension. The price was excellent. Love, love, love my rug!
The color was not at all accurate.. I was expecting more greys and subtle animal print; however, the background is cream and the leopard spots are very prominent. It still works in my dining room and I'll keep it, but I was disappointed. This is definitely not a comfy rug, better for dining area or entrance hall.
This is a really cute rug and it is exactly the same as the rug on Ballard Designs. It's extremely thin for the most part but the spots are thicker and softer. The rug is soft overall - both in the way it feels and as far as the colors go. It's a fun way to add texture and pattern but still stay with a muted color palette.
Gorgeous rug. Very thin & color on the cheetah is darker brown than I thought but exactly like the rug I almost ordered from Ballard but a huge price difference!. Overall would definitely buy again!
Great rug for the price, very pretty, nice texture and contrast of colors. Love it!
I was contemplating buying the SAME rug from another store (for months) but it was out of myprice range. After I decided it was too much for me I stumbled on it on Overstock for more than half the price of the designer mail order store. I was in heaven and scooped it up immediately. It is the same rug. I love it and it looks so great in my bedroom!!!!!!!!!! Price is excellent and I won't feel guilty if I get sick of it in 5 years or my tastes change. I am so happy with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get sucked into this. I'm sorry I wasted my time.
It's a journey format, the heroine and her horrible family searching for their father. The purpose of a journey is to learn lessons about one's self along the way. At the end of the three volume set, the heroine is even more arrogant and self-righteous than when she started.
Maybe I just don't understand what the author was trying to do. (Not) The character starts as a privileged snot, and ends the journey a privileged snot. What was the point? Third book is the worst.
Cover art is interesting.

Agency says changes may have discouraged employers from participating in the program.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has withdrawn a proposed rule to amend its regulations for the federally funded On-site Consultation Program. OSHA says it is withdrawing this rule based on stakeholder concerns that proposed changes, though relatively minor, would discourage employers from participating in the program.
"The On-site Consultation Program, including recognition through the Safety and Health Recognition Program (SHARP), is a valuable way to assist small-business employers who are working to improve their workplaces," says Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "We remain committed to encouraging participation in this program."
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for 29 CFR 1908, Consultation Agreement, published Sept. 3, 2010, provided clarification of the length of the exemption period provided to recognized sites that have been removed from OSHA's programmed inspection schedule and the initiation of certain unprogrammed inspections at both sites that have achieved recognition and sites undergoing a consultation visit.
OSHA administers and provides federal funding for the On-site Consultation Program, which offers free and confidential safety and health advice to small and medium-sized businesses across the country, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. Employers who successfully complete a comprehensive on-site consultation visit correct all hazards identified during the visit and implement an ongoing safety and health program to identify and correct workplace hazards may achieve status in OSHA's SHARP. Exemplary employers who receive SHARP status receive an exemption from OSHA's programmed inspection schedule during a specified period.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, education and assistance.

New York rapper Fabolous may be a veteran in the rap game but Loso recently revealed how up-to-date he stays on hip-hop newcomers gaining mainstream attention.
According to Fab, he keeps up with today's rising stars and acknowledged fellow Big Apple rapper A$AP Rocky.
"I like a lot of new stuff, but also I'm kinda traditional and old school, so I listen to but I'm also trying to give the ear to the new people," he admitted. "So I'm always online and checking out the sites and hearing everybody from Kendrick Lamar to A$AP Rocky, those guys. I just like to check them out. I'm also a person who pays attention to what you're saying so it's not just your beats to me, so I gotta get into what you're saying and then I can take everything in you know." (XXL Mag)
Platinum-selling pop star Lady Gaga recently revealed her admiration toward Kendrick Lamar.
"@kendricklamar What a sweetie calling me this morning to see how I'm doin. See you soon. love from across the pond. #Rigamortis," she tweeted July 4th.
"I hope so. he and his lyrics are the sh*t. RT @MixedHippy @kendricklamar @ladygaga are all of your fans gonna jump on him" (Lady Gaga's Twitter)
This week, Harlem producer/rapper Webstar gave SOHH his take on Harlem rising stars like A$AP Rocky and Teyana Taylor.
"New York City is the Mecca for music. Hip-hop started in the Bronx. If you think about it, somebody new every year comes from Harlem. Whether it's me or Vado or A$AP Rocky. I just think it's a good thing to have. The more people that get record deals and that are coming from Harlem, it makes it easier for other people from Harlem to come out. I think if all of us stuck together more, we could have so much power. But we're all cool. We all grew up together. Me and A$AP, me and Vado, Teyana Taylor, all of us are coming from the same place. We just don't all work together for some reason. I'm not sure what that reason is but I think if we could all work together, we would be really, really powerful." (SOHH)
A few years ago, Fabolous dished out some career advice to up-and-coming emcees.
"Really, I guess just coming in with not a lot of knowledge of what it takes to put out an album [is a mistake]," Fab explained in an interview. "Knowing the business relationship between you and your record label, a lot of people think it's just going into the studio, being in the studio all night smoking and drinking and having your friends in there and then when the money don't come back like it's supposed to or the record labels taking every coin away from your album. Then they wanna look back and see what's going on or flip out like, 'Yo where's my bread at?' and it was there, but you ain't do your business right. So I think everybody that comes in, you should talk with certain people or educate yourself to it by looking it up and checking out your business." (SmackTube)

Electronic Arts hopes to see busy Christmas shopping season this year
Looking ahead to the 2014 Christmas shopping season, gamers and studios have a lot to look forward to. Christmas spending is expected to be the highest in years, with PC gaming surging while Microsoft and Sony both promote their own game consoles.
Here is what Blake Jorgenson, EA chief financial officer, noted in a recent interview: "A year ago, there were only a handful of titles. We had five of them, so we benefited from that." The addition of "new software coming into the marketplace - our software, as well as competitors' software" should make this year different. "I think the trend is positive."
Gamers looking to purchase a Microsoft Xbox One or Sony PlayStation 4 will see lower prices and a wider selection of game titles to choose from - as retailers also show keen interest in bringing customers into their stores.
LG Electronics expected to pull the plug on plasma TV business
It's no surprise that the plasma TV industry is dying out, and it appears LG Electronics is the latest company ready to abandon ship. LG will pull the plug on plasma TVs by the end of November, which tallied just 2.4 percent of its annual revenue in 2013.
"We wanted to keep it going as long as we could," said Ken Hong, LG spokesman, when speaking to Reuters. "No matter how much we try to keep it going it's just not a business anymore."
Plasma TVs couldn't keep up with increasing resolutions supported by LCDs, along with generating significantly more heat than newer technologies. Samsung will be the only TV manufacturer still supporting plasma TVs once LG ends its business next month - the Korean rival will still make plasma TVs, but that might not be for much longer.
Lite-ON to debut EP1 Series of PCIe Gen2 x4 M.2 SSDs
Lite-ON is launching their latest line of enterprise SSDs at Dell World 2014. The new EP1 Series leverages the M.2 connection with 4 lanes of PCIe 2.0 speed. The EP1 series is designed for the enterprise space and features power loss protection to guard against data loss during unsafe shutdowns. The new modules can cram up to 1TB of fast storage onto a relatively tiny M.2 form factor SSD, yet still deliver incredible performance. The EP1 series SSDs will top out at 150,000 4k read IOPS, and 44,000 write IOPS.
The PCIe connection also enables ultra low latency of 40/30 microseconds for read/write transactions. Customized firmware will also include multiple layers of protection from data loss, and tailors the device for application workloads such as online transaction processing (OTP), financial transactions, E-commerce, SQL logging, collaboration, and email servers.
Lite-ON isnt skimping on endurance either, with a 1 DWPD (Drive Write Per Day) threshold and an MTBF of 2 million hours.

Battlefield Hardline will be released on March 17, 2015
Electronic Arts today announced that Battlefield Hardline will be released on March 17, 2015 in North America, with a March 19, 2015 release date set for Europe.
Instead of a war-themed game, Hardline takes a new spin on cops versus robbers, with a single player storyline of officer Nick Mendoza fighting corrupt cops and drug dealers in Miami. Multiplayer gamers will play in teams "on one side of the law or the other," trying to either complete heists as a criminal or bust the bad guys as law enforcement.
Battlefield Hardline was delayed until 2015 so developers had additional time to make improvements and closely evaluate beta player feedback. EA doesn't want a repeat of the chaos that ensued with the release of Battlefield 4, which suffered numerous problems.

iPhone 6 pre-orders in Korea racking up, putting pressure on Samsung
Samsung will have to work to defend its home territory against an Apple invasion, as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders immediately became major draws. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus publicly launch in Korea on October 31.
It didn't even take one hour for pre-orders to reach "tens of thousands," which was a higher number than the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 when it was released in September. The KT Corp noted it saw pre-orders surpass 50,000 in 30 minutes, while SK Telecom said its first two presale order batches were sold out.
Apple has found success in Asia with its latest smartphones, as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus topped 20 million preorders in China earlier this fall.
Gallup poll: Americans fear hackers more than any other crime
Americans are "occasionally" or "frequently" worried about having their credit card data stolen by hackers and having their PC or smartphone hacked more than any other crimes, according to a recent Gallup poll. A whopping 69 percent of poll respondents are worried about store data breaches leading to personal information being stolen, while 62 percent are worried about PC or smartphone security - significantly ahead of the 45 percent of people worried about their home being burglarized while away.
Consumers with salaries $75,000 or above are most concerned about potential debit and credit theft, as they spend more and are more likely to have multiple credit cards.
The high-profile data breaches of Target, Home Depot, and other major retailers helped finally wake up more Americans about the potential of data breaches. However, consumers and business users are still vulnerable to phishing and malware attacks, which haven't received the same amount of media attention.
Far Cry 4 dev: resolution is "not something I care about in a game"
The kool-aid continues to be consumed over at Ubisoft, with Far Cry 4's Creative Director, Alex Hutchinson, having some interesting things to say when it comes to 1080p.
When asked about resolution, Hutchinson said: "It's certainly not something I care about in a game" when asked by Total Xbox about the target resolution of 1080p and 30FPS for Far Cry 4 on Xbox One and PS4. He continued: "It feels weird to me that people are cool about playing a sort of retro pixel game, and yet the resolution somehow matters. It's like: is it fun, is it interesting, is it new, is it fresh, are there interesting questions. With the 4K TVs and things - somebody was telling me that with a 4K TV, to even see it, your living room has to be big enough to sit like 12 feet from the screen. I don't know the exact numbers, but it starts to get a little crazy. I'm just in it for the experience, I'll play a SNES game if it's cool".
It continues, where Hutchinson reiterates that resolution isn't that important, where he said that consumer interest in high-end visuals is starting to fade away, rendering itself at a resolution of 480p, probably. He agreed with the sentiments of Crytek's Nicolas Schulz, who back in October said that it's getting "difficult to really wow people" with flashy graphics (we'll come back to that in a minute, Nicolas). Hutchinson backed Schulz up, saying: "Exactly. And also I think it's a bad axis. We should not be in a business that sells itself - we are, a little bit, but that sells itself on the flavour of like, gadgetry and technology. I think that's a bad sign. If our thing is 'woo, the same exact thing you had before, at twice the resolution, instead of a new thing'... A new spin or an evolution, I think is much more interesting".

Some retailers don't want Apple Pay, hoping to create rival service
WalMart and other major US retailers don't want to bother testing the Apple Pay mobile payment service, looking to commit to development of their own payment systems.
"The economics and benefits of having your own payment system is definitely one of the main reasons," noted Hitesh Sheth CEO of the Vectra Networks retail cybersecurity company. There is a risk of the mobile payment market fracturing even further, but retailers hope to cut out transaction fees that Visa, Mastercard, and other credit card companies collect.
For retailers currently accepting Apple Pay, most users have reported a relatively easy experience completing transactions. However, with growing talk of rival services expected, Rite Aid and CVS both pulled the plug on Apple Pay over the weekend - and Apple will have to work to convince other retailers to jump onboard.

You'll soon be able to order Domino's pizza from your Xbox One console
Lazy gamers across the world will soon be able to order pizza through their Xbox One console, with the latest reports that Domino's will soon release their app for Microsoft's console.
The Sunday Times is reporting that a Kinect-powered application will require users to simply ask the Xbox One "Dominos's, feed me!" where you'll be taken to the pizza ordering application to choose your base and toppings. Microsoft partnered with Pizza Hut last year for a similar app, which was on Xbox 360 that allowed users to order pizza from their consoles.
Cybercriminals find success using targeted attacks against companies
A whopping 94 percent of companies have suffered one data breach in the past 12 months, with 12 percent claiming they suffered at least a single targeted attack launched by cybercriminals, according to security software maker Kaspersky Lab. Nine percent of organizations in 2012 and 2013 reportedly suffered targeted attacks, as cybercriminals make sure their tactics evolve.
"The survey results clearly indicate that many businesses now recognize that the threat of a targeted attack is very real and could be very harmful for their organization," said Chris Doggett, Kaspersky Lab North America managing director. "With major breaches being reported regularly now, it is critical for businesses of all sizes to make protection of their IT infrastructure their top priority, especially given the damages that arise from each successful targeted attack."
Cybercriminals have also been found to target smaller companies so they can steal business email contacts - having direct access to contact names, email addresses and phone numbers of other possible future targets.

NCCL's New Episcopal Advisor
NCCL is pleased to announce that Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, has been appointed Episcopal Advisor to NCCL. Bishop Coyne is the latest in a distinguished line of Bishops who have served in this capacity. The appointment was made by Archbishop Leonard Blair, Archbishop of the Diocese of Hartford, who serves as the chair of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis. Archbishop Blair served for the last six years as NCCL's Episcopal Advisor.
Bishop Coyne, one of seven children of William and Rita Coyne, was born in 1958, in Woburn, MA. He was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Boston in 1986. In addition to various assignments as a pastor for the Archdiocese of Boston, Bishop Coyne also served as professor of Sacred Liturgy and Homiletics at the diocesan seminary. He was ordained a Bishop in 2011 to serve as the Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. In addition to his strong theological and pastoral background, Bishop Coyne brings a wealth of experience in communications to his new role, including maintaining his own blog. Additional details regarding Bishop Coyne can be found by visiting the website of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

Why does the pope change his name?tags: popes, papacy, LA Times, Francis
What's in a pope's name?
By choosing the name Francis, the Argentine Jesuit who will lead the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics has signaled a devotion to simple living and social justice, analysts say.
No pope has ever chosen to be called Francis before, and it was not among the names favored by oddsmakers betting on which the new pontiff would choose. The name harks back to St. Francis of Assisi, who founded the Franciscan order.
Picking a name is the first decision made by the new pontiff and a closely watched sign of how he will lead the church....

Add South Bend to a long list of cities advising homeowners to leave a little water running to avoid frozen pipes.
A number of people have called to complain about frozen pipes.
Technically in the city a homeowner is responsible for the water line while the city is responsible for a broken water main
But with these unusually cold weather conditions, South Bend has been bending the rules and helping out folks that have gone without water for weeks.
"It's been tough. I've been going over to my girlfriend's house to shower and we've managed," says Mike Wardlowe.
In South Bend the department is advising people to run a small stream of water, even if you've never had frozen pipes.

The Riverview Project
The Riverview Project is a core public outreach and educational program of Below the Surface (BTS). Riverview is inspired by Google's Streetview mapping technology with the intention of creating a platform to visualize, interact with and explore rivers throughout the world.
Check out the sample video from our Arkansas River expedition. Hint: you can use your mouse or control surface to scroll 360 degrees.
The Riverview Project – Mission
Create the leading visual platform to establish baselines and aggregate data on hydrologic structure, function, and changes while illustrating how waterway recreation can enhance the protection of America's waterways and other natural resources. The BTS Expeditionary Team will use panoramic imaging as the visualization foundation and use that along with LIDAR, Multi-beam SONAR, and other parameters to build the most comprehensive database of America's waterways. Exploration & Mapping in the 21st Century!
The Riverview Project – The Plan
Below The Surface recently acquired Immersive Media's Quattro camera, which consists offour Sony ICX 724 CCD sensors. The Quattro captures a high-resolution 4400 x 1550 cylindrical field of view at 15 frames per second. The expeditionary team from BTS will use this equipment to gather high quality panoramic images and other important data from source to sea for the 10 rivers shown on the map below over the coming 3 years, and intends to incorporate 27 major navigable US Rivers in total over the next 6 years. This project will ultimately incorporate major river networks and watersheds worldwide.
Our maps will serve as a host for information about paddling and water quality from the mountains to the surf breaks. Please click on the Contact page and let us know if you'd like to integrate any information into our maps.

Trick Shots: Action
Stop fast action with these tips on everything from shutter speed to lenses
Labels: How To, Camera Technique
Shutter Lag And Action
When digital cameras first became available, they had a terrible delay between the time you pressed the shutter release and when the shutter actually went off. Luckily, cameras don't have that sort of lag today. All cameras pretty much take the picture when you press the shutter release, but when you photograph action, it's important to know that for most cameras, there's usually a fractional delay. This often comes from the speed of the autofocus (the camera wants to be in focus before allowing the shutter to release). This varies considerably from camera to camera and can affect your photography of peak moments or fast action.
It can help to anticipate the action when the action is fast. You need to be prepared to take the picture before the action hits its peak so you can actually react at that moment. If your autofocus is too slow for a particular action, try manual focus. It also can help to prefocus so your camera isn't searching for a focus point.
Panning is a great technique to use with subjects that are moving through an area, such as a runner, a bird or a car. Simply move the camera with the subject as it moves, taking the picture as the camera is moving.
With fast subjects, this can be the only way to get them sharp. Panning with the subject makes it "slower" in relation to the camera, so a slower shutter speed can freeze its action. The background usually won't be sharp, however, because the camera is moving across it.
Interesting effects come from actually using slow shutter speeds with panning. As the shutter speed slows down, the background blurs more until it becomes streaks of color and tone. Slow the shutter speed even more and the subject starts to blur, first along the moving edges, then over the whole thing. There's a range of interesting possibilities as you change shutter speeds.
Experiment with different shutter speeds and check the blurs you're getting on your LCD. That's a great advantage to digital—you can try out speeds and see the results immediately to know if it's the right shutter speed for you and your subject.
Lenses with image stabilization will change the way this type of blur looks. When you move a lens, it will often shift a little up and down, even though you're moving side to side. That will create bumps in the blurs. You can smooth them out with image-stabilizing lenses that include a panning mode.
It's important that you move the camera continuously through the exposure. Start panning the camera with the subject before you press the shutter, then keep moving the camera even after the shutter has closed. It's important that you don't stop suddenly—you'll get odd patterns in the blurs.

Tuesday, the State Senate approved a plan to outsource the lottery and use the money for life sciences research and college scholarships.
Governor Mitch Daniels wants to lease the state's lottery for 30 years.
In exchange, a private company would give Indiana an upfront payment of at least $1-billion.
Ten private companies have expressed interest in the plan.
The bill now goes to the House.

Hi: 6° Lo:0°
By Rob George Tuesday 30 October 2012 Updated: 02/11 12:53
A PET cat has died following a fire in Thatchers Green which began after a cande was left lit overnight.
Crews from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) were called to the incident just after 4.30am on Saturday (October 27).
Two fire crews from Droitwich Fire Station attended the scene and firefighters in breathing apparatus extinguished the fire in a bedroom of the first floor flat.
Watch Commander Michael James said: "It would seem that the occupant had lit a candle in his bedroom and then fallen asleep before putting the candle out. He then awoke to find his quilt on fire and the flat full of smoke."
He confirmed that the man was out of the flat as crews arrived but that he had burnt his hands and was suffering the effects of smoke inhalation. Sadly his pet cat died as a result of the incident
There was extensive fire damage in the bedroom, with the bed itself destroyed, and there was also smoke damage throughout the rest of the flat.
Watch commander James added: "Candle safety is always a key part of our winter safety campaign and we would like to take this opportunity to remind people about using candles with care."

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Wash. pot consultant: Revenue estimate way off
Estimates of how much money marijuana legalization can bring to the state's coffers have been way off, Washington's new marijuana consultant said.
Associated Press
Estimates of how much money marijuana legalization can bring to the state's coffers have been way off, Washington's new marijuana consultant said.
In an interview with public affairs channel TVW aired Thursday, Mark Kleiman said several factors, including competition from the loosely regulated medical marijuana market, illegal sales and high prices for legal pot are likely to affect the demand for the state-approved marijuana.
"It's entirely possible that by the time we finish regulating and taxing this product, it's going to be uncompetitive with what you can get at the collective gardens," he told Austin Jenkins for the show "Inside Olympia."
Washington and Colorado last year became the first states to pass laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana and setting up systems of state-licensed growers, processors and retail stores where adults 21 or older can walk in and buy up to an ounce of heavily taxed cannabis. Sales could begin at the end of the year.
In 2011, efforts to regulate the medical marijuana market were vetoed by then-Gov. Chris Gregoire, who said among other reasons that she didn't want state workers dealing with a drug still considered illegal by the federal government.
Kleiman, a public policy professor at University of California, Los Angeles, leads the Massachusetts-based BOTEC Analysis Corp., which the state picked this month to help with the legalization process. The firm includes a former executive of the company that is the sole licensed supplier of medical marijuana in the Netherlands.
It also includes researchers with RAND Corp. who will help figure out how much marijuana state-licensed growers should produce. Kleiman said he hopes to have that estimate ready within a couple of weeks.
Initial estimates said the state could bring in more than $400 million a year from the marijuana market. But Kleiman said if the state sees $100 million in revenue during the first fiscal year marijuana is sold, it would be a good start.
"Price will be crucial because people who smoke a lot pay attention to price," he said.
While acknowledging state lawmakers are looking for money to stabilize the state budget, Kleiman said the process to launch the marijuana market will take time. Even if The Washington Liquor Control Board finishes its rule-making process on time in December, then it has to issue licenses to grow marijuana. It takes four to five months for a crop to mature. Marijuana probably won't hit the stores until late 2014 spring.
As legalization is rolled, Kleiman said he expects some occasional users to increase their frequency over a long period of time.
Kleiman also said the state shouldn't have revenue goals for marijuana.
"The only way to get a lot of revenue is to sell a lot of marijuana and the only way to sell a lot of marijuana is to sell to people who smoke a lot of marijuana and that's not a good thing," he said.

Beyond the Power Struggle: The Science and Values of Sustainable Hydropower
By Jeff Opperman, senior freshwater scientist
Dams are not subtle.
They are giant structures that confront the Earth's fundamental forces and elements. Defying both water and gravity, dams almost always win.
The Earth has two geomorphic features that people tend to compare to cathedrals: towering mountains and yawning canyons. Although in only a few places have we torn down whole mountain ranges, we've filled in thousands of canyons.
Removing a mountain range requires us to do all the work ourselves, stone by stone. But with a canyon we can build a single dam wall and let water do the rest, rising month by month, year by year, until every last altar, nave, and cloister has been filled.
For those whose taste in metaphor runs to the physiological, rather than architectural, river networks are such clear analogs to our body's circulatory system that dams can be saddled with the easy analogy of arterial blockage — if not fatal, then at least severely debilitating.
Aorta blockers and cathedral fillers – it's easy to see why fighting dams is coded deep in the DNA of environmentalists.
In fact, the environmental movement cut its teeth fighting dams. A list of those battles is a list of place names: Hetch Hetchy, Glen Canyon, Dinosaur, Storm King, Stanislaus, South Yuba. Like other lists of place names steeped in conflict—Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg—the roll call evokes the sweep of history, of defeat and victory.
Fighting dams. It's in environmentalists' DNA.
But The Nature Conservancy has a tradition of forging collaborations with those who plan, build and finance dams. In fact, that collaboration is central to our ongoing work in freshwater conservation. At first glance, that approach sounds hard to square with the aforementioned history, and may even lead many of our members and fellow environmentalists to conclude we have become Genetically Modified Organisms – environmentalists who have somehow swapped out some essential sequence of our DNA.
But let me explain why this collaboration is essential right now—particularly now as the rate of dam building has increased dramatically in the past decade, largely driven by the construction of hydropower dams to meet growing demands for energy.
For starters, that roll call of dam battles has a lot more defeats than it does victories. The win-loss record alone suggests the need for tactical diversity: are there other ways to protect rivers?
To answer that question, let's look deeper at the Conservancy's genome. Our DNA has a number of strands that lead us toward some different tactics for engaging on hydropower dams.
First off, our DNA strongly expresses pragmatism and collaboration. We make deals and emphasize finding solutions, and to do that we're willing to collaborate with people with whom we may differ on important issues.
For example, the Conservancy joined the Penobscot Restoration Trust, which had been formed by other NGOs and the Penobscot Indian Nation, and bought three dams on the Penobscot River from a hydropower company. Two of those dams have since been removed and the third will be bypassed.
Ultimately, this collaborative effort will result in increased access to hundreds of miles of river for migratory fish, transforming how the basin works for Atlantic salmon, shad, herring, and nine other species. Through operational and equipment changes at the Penobscot dams that remain, the basin will actually produce slightly more energy than it did before.
That success points toward another of the Conservancy's strands of DNA: science underpins and guides our work.
We've committed ourselves to learning the lessons of the Penobscot and applying them globally to the hydropower challenge. This is the key lesson of the Penobscot: by moving beyond the scale of a single dam—and toward that of a whole system of dams—new, and potentially bigger, solutions could emerge.
Building on that concept, we've developed a strategy called "hydropower by design" that seeks basin-scale solutions across rivers' social, environmental and economic values. The theory underpinning this work is that good science can identify more balanced outcomes for river basins, and Conservancy scientists are working to develop tools that can find those outcomes. We're now testing those tools and promoting the potential for more sustainable hydropower development in river basins in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Gabon.
While the Penobscot was something of a remodel, elsewhere in the world, where hydropower is just starting to expand, we want to talk directly to the architects and builders the first time around.
If the only word in your vocabulary is "no," you probably won't get invited to take part in many conversations. Through hydropower by design, we have a much broader vocabulary and can get involved in conversations about how and where hydropower will be developed.
Always saying "no" does have one clear advantage: it's consistent and easy to explain. Being part of a conversation can be complicated and invites suspicion.
This is where our values and our science are key.
Engaging directly in the process of hydropower development means being willing to walk in a world shrouded in gray. To avoid looking gray ourselves, we must shine a bright light on our values: We engage in hydropower the way we do because we believe those strategies have the best chance of keeping the most rivers, wetlands, floodplain forests and estuaries healthy.
Finding strategies that work are urgently needed: these ecosystems are among the most important for people, with values that range from the simple (we love rivers to swim and play) to critical to livelihoods and life (tens of millions of people in Africa and Asia depend on rivers for their daily calories).
But clear statements of values can only get you so far, particularly when combined with complicated collaborations. This is where science comes in. Values are expressed in words, but our science can demonstrate that our values are more than just words.
Using science, we can test our theories, refine our strategies, and quantitatively describe the outcomes we seek. Science can provide credible evidence to support our assertion that being part of the messy conversation can be an effective path to protecting rivers.
Our approaches require collaboration, and these approaches fit our DNA. Our particular DNA—deal driven, science-based—suits us to a certain niche.
I don't claim that it's the only way to conserve rivers, but we believe that, in many places, it's the most effective way. And, importantly, it's the way that we're good at. It's our niche, so let's make the most of it.
And there are still battles worth fighting. There's a new list of place names joining the historical roll call: Tiger Leaping Gorge, Sesan and Sambor.
Fighting dams. It's in environmentalists' DNA. But what's the essential trait of DNA? It can evolve.
