Such contracts signify the firm's dedication to the preparation and legislative pursuit of issues identified as common to Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties.[10]
The firm will typically coordinate with the Board, Superintendent, and designated staff of a school district it represents to develop and promote federal and state legislative issues.[10] For instance, in Dec. 2008, Schoolhouse Consulting Group representatives met with Senate President Atwater, his chief of staff, and Senate Education Chair Nancy Detert in Dec. 2008 to discuss waivers, budget shifts, and the reduction of unfunded mandates.[11]
Capital City Consulting shares the responsibility with Schoolhouse Consulting Group to monitor the State Board of Education meetings and maintain daily contact with legislative committee staff on various issues. It helps the district track over 400 bills each session.[12]
The firm also collaborates with other lobbying firms. In Dec. 2008, Schoolhouse Consulting Group and Alcalde & Fay discussed the Teacher Quality Partnership Grants Program and the Juvenile Justice Grant Programs.[13]
Additionally, the firm assists district representatives on joint legislative issues.[10]
The firm performs informatory services such as providing copies of the "Know Your Legislator" booklets for Board Members, Superintend, and designated staff. It also releases to Board Members and the Superintendent periodic written and verbal reports, which track bills affecting PreK-12 education.[10]
Finally, the firm arranges meetings with individual legislators in Tallahassee at the request of board members and staff.[10]
Vern Pickup-Crawford has been active for 34 years in the Florida school system. Mr. Crawford is a member and past-president (2001-2002) of the Florida Education Legislative Liaisons (FELL) and a member of the AASA Legislative Corps on federal legislation.
Pat O'Connell, a subcontractor of Capital City Consulting, brings more than 22 years of experience to the group, six of which were spent as chief lobbyist for the Department of Education and the Attorney General's Office.
Ron LaFace, Jr, also a subcontractor of Capital City Consulting, has been a private lobbyist for three years.
All three work closely with the education communty, including the following organizations: the Florida Association of District School Superintendents; the Florida School Boards Association; the South Florida School Boards Consortium; the Florida Education Legislative Liaisons; the Florida League of Cities; the Florida Association of Counties; the Florida Education Association; and other statewide organizations.[10]
Financial Situation
Neither the firm nor its principal has ever had any financial or legal difficulties.
Since being formed in 2003, the firm earned $142,483 in revenue for 2004 and $196,000 in receivables for 2005.
The firm proposes a fee of $45,000, payable in equal monthly increments.[10] In May 2009, Schoolhouse Consulting Group received a $10,700 invoice from the School District of Palm Beach County.[14]

Report: Palace 2-0 Oman
Report: Palace 2-0 Oman
21:35 10th September 2013
International football came to Selhurst Park tonight but Palace comfortably saw off the challenge of Oman thanks to well-taken goals from Stephen Dobbie and Kyle De Silva to chalk up a decent friendly win for the Eagles.
Several fringe members of Ian Holloway's squad got useful minutes in the bank to keep up their match sharpness but their opponents from the Gulf kept the home side at bay for nearly 70 minutes before fitness came to the fore.
Palace began brightly and created a couple of very early chances, but Aaron Wilbraham couldn't keep a bending effort down after being found by Quade Taylor and Cameron Jerome forced Muhanad Al-Zaabi into a save when he raced through on goal.
The deadline day signing from Stoke City came close again midway through the first-half when a long ball over the top was flicked on into his path by Wilbraham, and the striker attempted to lash it first-time into the net but saw the chance fizz over the top.
Wilbraham went close just before the interval when Al-Zaabi slipped in front of goal and the striker rounded the keeper before firing towards the target but Abdullsalam Al-Mukhaini got back in time to scramble the ball off the line to keep the opening half scoreless.
The Eagles had dominated the first 45 minutes but couldn't quite find the opener but came even closer when, after some head-tennis between Wilbraham and Jerome, the ball was controlled by Dobbie who thumped a strike towards goal but saw it smack back off the crossbar.
However the Scottish midfielder wasn't to be denied and finally found the breakthrough on 69 minutes. Taking the ball down from a throw-in on the right, he dummied a defender before coolly tucking the ball into the bottom corner to single-handedly give his side the lead.
And having finally broken down their opponents, Palace soon doubled their lead six minutes later when Owen Garvan's raking ball found Wilbraham inside the box, and he laid the ball off to De Silva who sweetly curled the ball around the despairing dive of Al-Zaabi to seal the victory.
Palace: Alexander, Taylor (Wynter 81), Marange, Blake, Parr (Parsons 62), O'Keefe (Boateng 62), Garvan, De Silva, Dobbie (Kaikai 81), Jerome (Appiah 62), Wilbraham. Sub not used: Gregory.
Oman: Al-Zaabi, Al-Jabri, Ibrahim, Al-Farsi, Al-Busaidi (Al-Lahsni 81), S Al-Mukhaini, A Al-Mukhaini (Al-Rawahi 53), Al-Ajmi (Al-Jalbobi 62), Al-Ghailan (Al-Mukhaini 81), Salem, Al-Mashari (Al-Syabi 62). Sub not used: Al-Qalhati.

Grid Down Bacon Giveaway! Contest #2
- Details
- Category: Damage Control Central
I need your help. I need a quick favor, and to encourage you to say yes, I've decide to give away a case of canned bacon and someone reading this is going to win it. Will it be you? So, do you want it? Here's the deal: In order for my book to become an official "Best Seller" on Amazons Kindle I need real customers, with real sales, and real testimonials on Amazons web site. What is surprising is that it does not take a million orders to become a Best Seller, if only 50 people buy the book it most likely make it on the Best Seller list. Will you help me? What's a better way to motivate you to help me than with an "ethical bribe"? Are you and a few other readers willing to buy my new Kindle e-book for just $.99 cents and then just write a nice testimonial? Really, that's less than $1. If you like the book, please give it 5 star rating. I don't know if 2 people will do this for me ...

The Umbrella of U.S. Power: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Contradictions of U.S. Policy (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Chomsky observes the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a "Path to a Better World," while chronicling how far off the trail the United States is with respect to actual political practice and conduct. Analysing the contradictions of U.S. power while illustrating the real progress won by sustained popular struggle, Chomsky cuts through official political rhetoric to examine how the United States not only violates the UD, but at times uses it as a weapon to wield against designated enemies.
About the Author
NOAM CHOMSKY is known throughout the world for his political and philosophical writings as well as for his groundbreaking linguistics work. He has taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1955 and remains one of America's most uncompromising voices of dissent.

Freight train derails in Saskatchewan, leaks oil
There were no injuries and a small grass fire sparked by the derailment was extinguished, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has sent an investigator to the site, west of the city of Saskatoon.
CN said two cars carrying condensate, three cars carrying lube oil, one car of ethanol and 11 cars carrying mixed freight came off the tracks in the early morning accident. The RCMP had previously said 16 cars were involved.
"One of the derailed cars is leaking lube oil. Crews have immediately begun a process using vacuum trucks to contain and reclaim the leaking product," CN spokesman Warren Chandler said.
There were no details on how much lube oil had leaked or how long it would take to clean up.
Canadian rail shipments have been under scrutiny since a disaster in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in July, in which a runaway train carrying crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken field derailed and exploded, killing 47 and destroying the town's center.
The disaster, which followed a series of smaller spills, focused attention on ever-rising volumes of crude shipments on Canadian railroads. Canadian crash investigators have already called for tougher rules for the transport of dangerous goods. (Reuters)

Brighter Days for Five Savvy Stockpickers
Bank stocks have roared into 2012, and the rally looks as if it has legs. Valuations still look attractive and the economic backdrop is improving.
The KBW Bank Index rose 9.5% last week after the Fed's stress tests showed that 15 of 19 major institutions would have adequate capital under a severe economic scenario (including a 50% stock-market drop), with many of them returning money to shareholders.
After the results were released Tuesday, several banks, including JPMorgan Chase JPM 0.08286377195889957% JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Since our bullish cover story on the financial sector ran last fall ("Buy the Banks," Oct. 17, 2011), the KBW Index is up more than 30%, double the S&P 500's 14.7%. Last fall, many financials were trading at or below tangible book value and for as little as six or seven times projected 2012 profits. The table below lists some stocks we mentioned.

"The macro catalysts have been kicking in this year, and then we got the favorable Fed stress tests," says John McDonald, a Bernstein banking analyst. He notes that economic and housing indicators have turned up. More recently, the 10-year Treasury's yield has risen by more than a quarter percentage point, to 2.29%, with the markets anticipating that the Fed may boost short rates in about a year, rather than in late 2014, as stated earlier by Chairman Ben Bernanke. Higher rates would be bullish for most banks as loan and investment yields are apt to rise faster than deposit costs.
Even after the rally, most banks trade for no more than 11 times projected 2012 profits and for under 10 times next year's estimated net. Industry leader JPMorgan fetches nine times projected 2012 profits of $4.75 a share and yields 2.7%, after boosting its quarterly payout to 30 cents from 25 cents (see Speaking of Dividends, "Big Week for Banks").
Investors now are more willing to value banks on higher, future "normalized" earnings. JPMorgan last month said it could earn $24 billion annually in a good, but not great, environment, compared with perhaps $18 billion this year. That could translate into nearly $7 a share after the bank finishes an aggressive buyback program that may total $12 billion this year. Put a multiple of 10 on that and the stock could near $70 in a year or two.
Shares of Wells Fargo and US Bancorp responded favorably to dividend increases, too. And Bank of America (BAC) passed its stress test, partly because it didn't ask for any meaningful capital return this year. Its shares, down 58% in 2011, are recovering as investors bet that its mortgage problems are receding and that its earnings power will surface in 2013.
Citigroup initially sank because it "failed" its test. But the Fed assumed an unusually harsh impact on Citi's loan portfolio, and Citi would have passed if it hadn't proposed an increase in its capital return to holders. Citi is likely to rapidly build capital in the coming year. Its shares fetch less than 10 times estimated 2012 profits and (like BofA's) about 70% of tangible book.
Regionals also reacted positively, among them SunTrust Banks STI -0.35291152004033277% SunTrust Banks Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD39.53 -0.14 -0.35291152004033277% /Date(1417189514628-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 35428 P/E Ratio 11.966867469879517 Market Cap 20686158313.374 Dividend Yield 2.0135917442738487% Rev. per Employee 313801 More quote details and news » (STI), which rose 11%, to $24.38, although it wasn't allowed to hike its dividend. SunTrust said it expects first-quarter earnings to beat estimates. Morningstar puts the stock's fair value at $31.
Another winner: Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), which has big stakes in American Express AXP 0.7545106615636961% American Express Co. U.S.: NYSE USD92.14 0.69 0.7545106615636961% /Date(1417189524017-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 71162 P/E Ratio 16.935304990757857 Market Cap 94621208671.0297 Dividend Yield 1.1351233355162629% Rev. per Employee 565494 More quote details and news » (AXP) and Wells Fargo, an interest in US Bancorp, and Bank of America warrants.

Brighter Days for Five Savvy Stockpickers
Last fall Barron's highlighted five equity mutual-fund managers with excellent long-term records, who had been at the top of their class for the past 10 years (see "On Sale Now! Top Stockpickers," Oct. 10, 2011). Another thing they had common: Since the start of 2011, all had delivered the worst returns of their careers.
Had they lost their talent overnight? To the contrary, we concluded that these managers were just going through a rough patch, and we bought their argument that the cheap stocks they were buying would soar once the market came 'round to their sunny view. Speaking of undervalued, we also recommended buying the funds before they were back on top.
Based on the portfolios' performance since, that looks like good advice all around. What's more, these funds— Delafield Fund (ticker: DEFIX), Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity (LDFVX), Oakmark International (OAKIX), Eagle Mid Cap Growth (HAGAX) and Manning & Napier Equity Series (EXEYX)—are likely to stay winners.
ACCORDING TO LIPPER, three of the five funds beat their benchmarks from Oct. 7, 2011, through March 14.
Delafield, which is co-managed by Vincent Sellecchia and Dennis Delafield, was up 30.1%, outperforming the Russell 2000 index by 4.62 percentage points, or 18%. Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity, run by Robert Fetch, was up 22.7%, beating the Russell 3000 index by 5%, while Oakmark International, managed by David Herro, rose almost 18%, beating the MSCI World Minus US index by 26%.
The Eagle Mid Cap, run by Bert Boksen, is catching up fast. It climbed 23.7% in the October-March period, coming in 7.7%, below the Russell Mid Cap Growth index.
The Manning & Napier fund, run by Jeffrey Coons, continues to lag behind its benchmark, however. It was up 17.7%, compared with a gain of 21.5% in the Russell 3000.
All of these funds stayed true to their investment strategies. Sellecchia and Delafield boosted the Delafield Fund's existing holdings in industrials, which other investors had dumped when the U.S. economy looked weak. Now that economic growth looks to be accelerating, the stocks are rising again.
One of the fund's favorites is Kennametal KMT -2.3896103896103895% Kennametal Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD37.58 -0.92 -2.3896103896103895% /Date(1417189521096-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2948 P/E Ratio 18.75980392156863 Market Cap 3045581108.09326 Dividend Yield 1.8813692187091717% Rev. per Employee 215728 More quote details and news » (KMT), a machine-tool maker whose shares tanked last summer, but since have rallied by 57%, to $46.80. "When people began to worry about the economy last summer, there was just a perception that economically sensitive companies would suffer," says Sellecchia. "It was not reality."
INDEED, KENNAMETAL EARNED 91 cents a share in its fiscal second quarter (ended Dec. 31), compared with 52 cents in the prior-year period. The company beat analysts' earnings estimates, and raised its full-year profit outlook when announcing quarterly results.
Oakmark's Herro outperformed by acquiring shares of European manufacturers that sell most of their products outside Europe, far from the locus of the euro zone's debt crisis.
One was German auto manufacturer Daimler dai.xe 0.7465355386678587% Daimler AG Germany: Xetra EUR67.611 0.501 0.7465355386678587% /Date(1417210020000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1823649 P/E Ratio 9.631196581196582 Market Cap 71796795277.977 Dividend Yield 3.327860851044948% Rev. per Employee 459594 More quote details and news » (DAI.Germany), which has a debt-free balance sheet and also benefits from a weak euro, according to Herro.
Daimler shares fell about 45% from late July to late November, but since have rebounded by 64%, to a recent €48.07 ($62.50).
Don't cash out of these funds just yet. The next six months could be as unpredictable as the past year, but these portfolios, with their savvy managers and stellar track records, are positioned to outperform.

It really looks nice with the glossy leather.However, it's quite expensive for the fact that the material is just plastic. The plastic doesn't feel very nice when you sit in your shorts on the sofa. You can get a real leather sofa for the same price. Also, it is much smaller than it appears on the pictures. So make sure you check the dimensions before you order.

Once we meet you will discover that the circumstances that brought us together are quickly forgotten, and that I seem more like somebody you have known before. That's because I am…. You see, I come from your world. I have a professional background and an advanced degree. You may have known me. I was the girl that you stared at endlessly in grad school, or the woman you always tried to chat with after meetings at work. You may have also read that I am curvy yet athletic, all natural, and kiss like a horny teenager!
Did a friend send you here? If so, you've probably heard descriptive words like beautiful smile, articulate, sensual, intense, intelligent, intuitive, skilled, and even humorous!
I believe in exceeding expectations. One way to do that is to listen…to you, and to your answers to my questions. I want to know about you, what you want, and even what you need. With that information, I can be sure that your time with me will be everything you've dreamed of and more. I also welcome your questions, not just to provide you with information, but because they also add insight into what you want, what you are hoping for, and what you care about.
We may meet but once, or you may find me to be someone you wish to see over and over…I welcome either type of experience, and promise you that regardless, you will not forget the time we spend together, and you will remember it with a smile that will make people wonder what you're thinking abou

And more. . .
We begin with a tragedy within a continuing tragedy via the Los Angeles Times:
Four health workers slain in attack on Pakistan vaccination team
Gunmen shot and killed four health workers carrying out a polio vaccination drive Wednesday in the capital of Pakistan's restive Baluchistan province, police officials said.
The deadly shooting was the latest to target polio workers — whom Islamist militants accuse of conducting espionage in the guise of vaccination campaigns — in Pakistan, one of three countries where the disease has not been eradicated.
Police said that two armed men on a motorcycle opened fire on the workers as they waited for a security escort in the southwestern city of Quetta. Three women and one man were killed while three others were wounded, authorities said.
More from Deutsche Welle:
Pakistani polio workers demand safeguards
Polio workers in Pakistan have demanded greater security before returning to work after gunmen murdered four vaccination team members. Pakistan is one of three countries where polio remains endemic.
The president of the Pakistani state's polio workers union, Haleem Shah, said thousands of his colleagues were refusing to finish the campaign to vaccinate 300,000 children in eight districts, including Quetta.
"We are in contact with the government and we have demanded that we won't participate in the campaign until we are provided with security," Shah told the news agency AFP.
"The government provides security for one day and if nothing bad happens then they take the security back," he added.
Since December 2012, more than 30 polio vaccinators have been killed in Pakistan, along with nearly 30 police and security personnel guarding them.
And a small miracle within a larger catastrophe, via the Washington Post:
Guinea, hit by Ebola, reports only 1 cholera case
The health workers rode on canoes and rickety boats to deliver cholera vaccines to remote islands in Guinea. Months later, the country has recorded only one confirmed cholera case this year, down from thousands.
The rare success, overshadowed by the Ebola outbreak that has ravaged Guinea and two other West African countries, is being cautiously attributed to the vaccinations and to hand-washing in the campaign against Ebola.
Helen Matzger of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said Guinea's experience is encouraging other countries to accept the cholera vaccine and has led the GAVI Alliance — which works to deliver vaccines to the world's poor — to invest in a global stockpile and the U.N. World Health Organization to increase that stockpile to about 2 million doses.
Another African outbreak from the Associated Press:
Benin says Lassa fever kills 9, no Ebola found
Nine people have died in Benin from Lassa fever, a viral disease common in West Africa with symptoms similar to Ebola, the country's health minister said.
An outbreak of Ebola is pummeling the three West African countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, and some cases have turned up elsewhere. But so far no Ebola cases have been confirmed in Benin, Health Minister Dorothee Kinde Gazard told reporters late Tuesday.
Authorities will double-check those results with more tests, said Youssouf Gamatie, the representative for the World Health Organization in the country.
AllAfrica covers another continuing African public health woe:
Nigeria: WHO Expresses Concern Over Rising TB Cases in Nigeria
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has expressed concern over the rising cases of Tuberculosis (TB) in Nigeria, which has risen to three times what was initially estimated.
Out of the estimated 3,700 TB cases per year in Nigeria, only about 500 have been placed on treatment
The WHO Country Representative to Nigeria, Rui Gama Vaz, disclosed this at the formal launch of the National Strategic Plan for TB Control (2015-2020) and Dissemination of the First National TB Prevalence Survey Report in Abuja.
An outbreak in the Mideast from the Mainichi:
Saudi Arabia: Deaths from MERS virus reach 348
Saudi Arabia's Health Ministry says that a total of 348 people have died in the kingdom after contracting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome or MERS.
The ministry's latest figures, released late Tuesday, include two recent deaths recorded in the capital Riyadh. It brings to 810 the number of confirmed cases in Saudi Arabia since the virus was first identified in 2012.
The virus has since spread to other parts of the world, though it has mostly remained centered in Saudi Arabia. MERS belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that include both the common cold and SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome.
CBC News covers another epidemic:
Half-million cancers worldwide linked to obesity
- Majority of cases occur in North America and Europe, according to study
Excess body weight caused about 481,000 new cancer cases in 2012, according to a new study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization.
That works out to about 3.6 per cent of all cancers worldwide, the majority of which occur in North America and Europe, according to the study published in the medical journal Lancet Oncology on Wednesday.
The study estimates that a quarter of all obesity-related cancers in 2012 are directly linked to rising average body mass index (BMI), especially in developed parts of the world where BMI has been increasing since the 1980s.
While Science looks for the predictive:
Better wildlife monitoring could prevent human disease outbreaks
In the new study, a team lead by Isabelle-Anne Bisson, a conservation biologist with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington D.C., set out to assess whether information on wildlife health could be used to predict the emergence of disease in humans. The team looked at historical records of nearly 150 pathogens known to jump from wildlife to humans. They searched through 60 years of scientific and newspaper reports to determine two things: first, whether the pathogens cause visible disease symptoms or death in wildlife, and second, whether human outbreaks were preceded or accompanied by evidence of the disease in animals.
"These pathogens are invisible to the human eye," Bisson says. "You can't see them moving through a landscape, but you can certainly detect them through sick and dead animals."
The team found that out of the nearly 150 pathogens studied, 75 caused visible symptoms in animals, such as seizures, lethargy, unprovoked aggression, or death, meaning signs of the disease could be easily detected. In reality, however, only 13 of the disease outbreaks in humans were preceded by reports in wildlife. This suggests that early warning signs for 64 of the zoonotic pathogens—45% of the total—may have been missed, the team reports online this month in EcoHealth.
The Associated Press covers prosecution on behalf of a corporation:
Chinese woman denied own trial in seed-theft case
A woman accused of conspiring to steal trade secrets from U.S. seed companies and send them to China, where she's married to the CEO of a large biotechnology firm, will be tried with another suspect despite her claims that she left the firm long before most of the alleged crimes, a federal judge ruled.
Mo Yun, 42, and her brother are among seven people facing charges for allegedly plotting to steal patented seeds from corn fields in Iowa and Illinois, and send them to China to be reproduced. Prosecutors say more than $500 million worth of intellectual property was stolen from Pioneer Hi-Bred, Monsanto, and LG Seeds.
Mo and her brother were arrested this year in the U.S and are scheduled to be tried together in Iowa. The other five suspects are believed to be in China, which has no extradition agreements with the U.S.
Her attorneys recently argued that most of the evidence alleges crimes committed after she left the company in 2008, including allegations of digging in cornfields to find seeds and shipping them out of the country in 2011 and 2012. Trying them together would allow jurors to hear evidence unrelated to Mo and could sway jurors, defense attorney Terry Bird argued.
From Grist, another GMO story:
In Oregon, GMO labeling lost by 800 votes. Now it's getting a recount
On Nov. 6, Oregon's initiative to label genetically engineered foods ended up only a few thousand votes away from success. Now it is down by just 812 votes — which means there will be an automatic recount.
What happened? Labeling advocates have scrambled to fix some of the 13,000 contested ballots — the ones voters forgot to sign, for instance. Oregon gives voters the chance to correct these mistakes.
We'll let you know when we find out what happens! In the meantime: Just 800 votes out of 1.5 million — that's a butterfly fart away from winning. What if Jurassic World — which features genetically modified dinosaurs this time around — had come out this year?
Climatic bad bee news from the Guardian:
Bee parasite will flourish under global warming, study warns
- Gut parasite will increase in prevalence across northern Europe as temperatures rises, leading to honey bee losses
An exotic parasite which targets the insects is set to flourish in northern Europe if the Earth continues to warm, scientists at Queen's University, Belfast found.
The study assessed the future threat posed by the gut parasite Nosema ceranae, which originates in Asia but can now be found worldwide.
New evidence of the parasite's superior competitive ability and the link between its population size and climate change has been published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Co-author of the study and adjunct reader at Queen's School of Biological Sciences, Professor Robert Paxton said: "This emerging parasite is more susceptible to cold than its original close relative, possibly reflecting its presumed origin in east Asia.
"In the face of rising global temperatures, our findings suggest that it will increase in prevalence and potentially lead to increased honey bee colony losses in Britain."
EcoWatch covers the incipient frack:
Maryland Governor O'Malley Is Ready to Allow Fracking in His State
Outgoing Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has frequently been mentioned as a top-of-the-list contender for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, should Hillary Clinton's bid fail to materialize. But he just made himself more controversial within the party—and raised the ire of environmentalists—with his announcement that he is ready to allow fracking in the state, where it has so far been banned.
Natural gas companies have been casting a longing eye at Maryland since the fracking boom started. The state's western panhandle sits on the natural gas-rich Marcellus shale formation, which has proved such a money-maker in Pennsylvania just to its north.
O'Malley said that energy companies that want to frack in the state will have to abide by restrictive environmental and public health regulations, including limits on drilling locations and oversight of risks to air pollution and water contamination. He said he will unveil the final regulations in mid-December before leaving office to be succeeded by Republican Larry Hogan in January. Hogan has made it clear he's chomping at the bit to open the state to fracking, calling it an "economic gold mine," and saying during the campaign "States throughout the country have been developing their natural gas resources safely and efficiently for decades. I am concerned that there has been a knee-jerk reaction against any new energy production."
While MercoPress gets down to the nitty gritty:
Follow the sand to the real fracking boom
- When it takes up to four million pounds of sand to frack a single well, it's no wonder that demand is outpacing supply and frack sand producers are becoming the biggest behind-the-scenes beneficiaries of the American oil and gas boom.
Demand is exploding for "frac-sand"–a durable, high-purity quartz sand used to help produce petroleum fluids and prop up man-made fractures in shale rock formations through which oil and gas flows—turning this segment into the top driver of value in the shale revolution.
"One of the major players in Eagle Ford is saying they're short 6 million tons of 100 mesh alone in 2014 and they don't know where to get it. And that's just one player," Rasool Mohammad, President and CEO of Select Sands Corporation told Oilprice.com.
Frack sand exponentially increases the return on investment for a well, and oil and gas companies are expected to use some 95 billion pounds of frack sand this year, up nearly 30% from 2013 and up 50% from forecasts made just last year.
Pushing demand up is the trend for wider, shorter fracs, which require twice as much sand. The practice of down-spacing —or decreasing the space between wells—means a dramatic increase in the amount of frac sand used. The industry has gone from drilling four wells per square mile to up to 16 using shorter, wider fracs. In the process, they have found that the more tightly spaced wells do not reduce production from surrounding wells.
After the jump, crude oil train safety anxieties, Japan vows to continue its war on whales and call critics bigots, hue and cry kills an Idaho wolf hunt, Kenya women victimized by water mafias, profusely polluting rickshaws in Uttar Pradesh, an Amazonian deforestation rate decline, a Chinese dam stirs Indian angst, on to Fukushimapocalypse Now! and a new nuclear waste incinerator, corporations socialize decommissioning debt, geriatric reactor inspections, and another reactor restart mooted, plus Swiss who eat their cats for Christmas. . .

DePuy Synthes Sales Flat in Q3
The medical device business of healthcare behemoth Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has had a pretty good year—that is until the third quarter. Until Q3 (ended Sept. 30) the company's recent $21.3 billion purchase of orthopedic rival Synthes has been bolstering the overall medtech division's performance.
For the quarter, JNJ's medical device revenue dipped 2 percent as the company looks to sell off its diagnostics business. JNJ's medical device and diagnostics businesses earned $6.9 billion last quarter, posting flat international sales but slowed by a 4.2 percent drop in U.S. revenue. The orthopedics business stayed roughly unchanged (down 0.3 percent) at $2.3 billion. Surgical care, the company's second-largest segment, dipped 1.1 percent to $1.5 billion on the quarter, while third-place vision care fell 2.1 percent to $748 million. Sales of diabetes devices were harder hit, falling 11.4 percent to $557 million (U.S. sales were hardest hit, falling 27.7 percent to $237 million).
The aforementioned diagnostics unit also fell by double digits—10.5 percent to $459 million. Among the bright spots was Biosense Webster, JNJ's electrophysiology unit, which helped the specialty surgery division increase sales 4.9 percent to $626 million. Cardiovascular device sales were up 1.6 percent to $501 million.
Thanks to the sales slip, pharmaceuticals surpassed medical devices and diagnostics as JNJ's moneymaker for the first time in a year. CEO Alex Gorsky, who took over the helm of the company in April last year, has asked for investor patience when it comes to devices and diagnostics, saying the company is yet to reap the full benefits of its blockbuster Synthes deal and significant growth opportunities remain. Furthermore, the company eagerly is looking for device merger and acquisition targets.
Gorsky also noted that the company is gradually changing how it approaches its medical device business, making sure to study and demonstrate the economic value its pipeline devices provide before launching them. And then there's diagnostics. Rumors began swirling earlier this year that the company was considering selling its $2.2 billion testing arm. Analysts estimate that the division could fetch up to $5 billion. JNJ's diagnostics segment is largely focused on blood tests and viral screens, not the high-tech molecular assays that have put competitors such as Roche and Abbott Laboratories near the top of the growing industry.
According to analysts, who mostly have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, ditching the business will help the drag on revenue, sure, but it's unlikely to spur growth elsewhere. Overall, the company's net sales jumped 3.1 percent to $17.6 billion, driven by a 9.9 percent jump in pharmaceutical sales.

A few months back there were several discussions going on here as to what rights photographers have in taking pictures on buildings, bridges, etc.. In these post 9/11 times, there seemed to be a great deal of confusion. With overzealous security guards and law enforcement officials, this topic had become a real issue for many of us. Well, last week I had the opportunity to discuss these issues with attorney that handles these sorts of issues for a television network. He told me that contrary to any rumors, there was nothing in the Patriot Act or any other legislation that would restrict any photographer from videotaping or photographing any buildings bridge, or landmark public or private in this country - as long as the photographer is not trespassing on private property. Hope this helps anyone who is dealing with anyone trying to prevent them from a perfectly legal activity.

I was walking down Colfax, and stopped in front of a new restaurant to read the menu. A man who had been watching me before said "I like your dress." I was wearing headphones, so I just pretended that I didn't hear him. He stopped and stood staring at me and repeated himself. I tried to focus on the menu. Then he touched my arm, and it was just so disturbing. I pulled away and said "please don't touch me." He continues to stand by me and tell me he "just wanted to tell me he liked my dress."

I started attending college in DC and coming from New York I've sadly grown accustomed to being harassed when I walk the streets. I have grown a pretty thick skin and brush things off usually but this incident rocked me.
To be fair, I have used a car service several times and never had a problem, so hopefully this won't deter anyone from using their services. However this story should stand as a warning to be aware at all times. One day after class I decided to do a little shopping and instead of walking or taking the metro I decided I would just use a cab. The app informed me that my taxi had arrived and suddenly a taxi slowed down in front of my and the male driver yelled, " Hello beautiful! Do you need a ride?!" I brushed off this as him being polite so I asked, CLEARLY I might add, "oh yes are you my ride?" and even gestured to my phone. He smiled and said yes so I hopped in and told him the address. While in the taxi the driver continued to gush about how beautiful I was and if I was single and where I was from and it soon turned from polite conversation to quite unsettling. Something didn't feel right and I noticed he did not have his IPhone displayed like several other Taxis do. I again asked the driver if he was my driver and he nodded and said yes. Suddenly my phone rang and when I answered it was the REAL driver asking where I was! I angrily confronted the driver AGAIN and he began nervously babbling about how lovely I was and how pretty I was and I honestly grabbed a few dollars and threw them at him and jumped out the taxi ( just because I didn't want him claiming I was trying to get out of a fare).
I was so shaken that I just walked back to my dorm from where I jumped out the cab. Yet again I don't deter anyone from using taxi apps but be aware!

One of my friends went to the redbox outside of this mcdonalds and was physically intimidated, leered at, verbally harassed and gestured at. The dude stood right next to her as she tried to interact with the machine, and then as she left, his buddy walked towards her harassed her again about if 'she was single or wanted company'. This is also a neighborhood where many women are harassed from vehicles of men trying to solicit sexual services.

I was in the local store and a young woman came into the store hurriedly like she was trying to avoid someone. She was wearing yoga pants and a tank top like she had just come from a workout. Not five seconds after she came through the door two men came in after her, screaming and being quite loud about how they "appreciate that" and how the young woman was "doing them a service." It was disgusting, and made everyone around them uncomfortable, the girl ended up leaving.

Walking home from work one evening on a busy dual carriageway, two men were walking on the opposite side of the road from me. One called out 'oi love, my mate wants to rape you' I was pretty rattled by this and upped my pace with mobile phone in hand. His friend shouted back 'I'm sorry about him'. That's all very well but your mate needs a kick in the groin. It still bothers me that men think it's a joke to threaten rape.

Hi so my name is Zach. I'm the oldest and only boy in my family. I have two younger sisters and ever since I could remember I was always taught to respect women and that it was my job as an older brother to protect my younger sisters. This has made me very protective of the people that I am close to. Because of this many of my female friends ask me to go with them places.
A few days ago one of my friends, who is an amateur model, asked me to go with her to future photoshoots because at the last one the photographer made her feel very uncomfortable and she was harassed on the bus ride there. Now every photoshoot she has I will go with her.
Last year at a Renaissance Fair another one of my female friends asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend so guys will stop hitting on her. Obviously I said yes and whenever a guy would bother her I would swoop in and say something like "hey babe, want a soda?" or hold her hand and the guy would walk away. Whenever a guy would stare at her I would put my arm around her. Later that day she gave me a huge hug and thanked me.
When I was 14 my sister and I were walking home from school when these two boys from her class started following us. They were shouting things at my sister like "damn girl what's yo size?" and "why don't you bring that fine ass over here?". I warned them to fuck off or something bad will happen and they went down another street. They then cut us off at the next street, blocking us from going home. They continued to harass my sister and I warned them again to fuck off but one of the disgusting assholes grabbed my sister's ass and needless to say I beat the everloving shit out of them. What pissed me off even more though was the fact that none of them thought they were doing anything wrong.
Honestly I could write a whole goddamn book about all the times women asked me to protect them from 'men'. What really scares me though is what would happen to my sister and friends if I wasn't there to protect them from these creeps. How far would it go? Would my sister have gotten raped? Would my friends have gotten assualted? I'm so scared and angry that women I care about and women everywhere deal with this bullshit everyday. I'm sorry men do this. I really am. We need to teach our children not to do this and it's not ok.

I was walking home from work one day, it takes me about 20 minutes and I have to go through a small neighborhood to my job. I was a little over ten feet from my work, dressed in regular work clothes. Just slacks and a polo. I also have straight across bangs. A group of five guys in a car decided to yell at me saying they "like my fortune cookies" and as they drove past, say I have a sexy ass and hoot at me. I sped walk, heart racing… Two feet away from my job.
I was walking back from my lunch break. It was very hot and bright out and I forgot my sunglasses and was squinting. Two men in business clothes exited a building as I was walking by and one of them said to me "fix your face." I was so stunned! My resting/thinking face is often frowny so I often her men asking me to "smile" but I have never been told to "fix my face." I wish women never had to hear comments like this.

I am harassed daily because I take a bus and a train to work which is in the downtown area of Chicago; all sorts of people wandering. I work for a cosmetic line which encourages individual style and creative appearance. Because I am heavily tattooed and dress like I'm going to a trendy gathering for work (complete opposite of how I dress not working) I am approached, stared at, cat called, insulted, chased and treated like a tear in a magazine or an object to touch.
Daily, I am feeling angry and frustrated and filled with hate. It interrupts my work sometimes because I am in the public's view. I was once told to tattoo "stupid whore" on my forehead because I declined communication with an older man in his 50s. I've been called "bitch" because I confront men who stare at me like I am oblivious to their eyes. I've been insulted for ignoring when I walk to my train or bus. I've been chased and followed by men who think I'm "easy". I've been grabbed and pulled like an object because of my completely covered tattooed arms and legs. Then they get angry with me because I snap back. Because this happens literally on a daily basis, I've grown to hate living in Chicago. I grew up in Texas and never had this heavy amount of street harassment. I am a human and I just want to walk peacefully.

My First Keynote With The Infamous Audrey Watters
Posted on 06-17-2013
I'm doing a keynote this weekend with the infamous, edtech rabble-rouser Audrey Watters (@audreywatters) at InstructureCon in Park City Utah, this Wednesday June 19th.
Audrey and I will be talking about the importance of data portability when it comes to education technology. Instructure, the creators of Canvas, a next generation learning management system (LMS), has been so kind to bring us both out.
While Audrey and I spend a lot of time speaking at conferences, this is our first event where we will be both sharing the stage. If you are unaware, Audrey and her Hack Education blog isn't just a partner in crime with API Evangelist when it comes to data portability, she has also played the role of my girlfriend for almost four years.
We are both super passionate about open data, open source, data portability, terms of use and privacy policies that protect and empower users. Because when it comes to education, those "users" are our kids, brothers, sisters, family and friends. Education is not just another Silicon Valley opportunity, it is way too important.
I'm stoked to be sharing the stage with Audrey in Park City, UT this Wednesday at InstructureCon. And thank you to the Instructure team for believing in us and bringing us out to cause trouble in Utah.
