Gift of the Givers Supplies Not Yet Reached Gaza
Medical equipment and supplies taken by the humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers, have not yet reached Gaza almost a week after arriving in Egypt.
The South African Department of International Relations is still negotiating its safe passage and seeking clearance from the Egyptian government.
The team was allowed to enter the war-torn region after being stuck at the Egyptian Raffah border crossing.

Approximately 4 000 cardboard baby-cots are being distributed in KwaZulu-Natal in an effort to curb neonatal mortality.
World Vision South Africa and the Help Our Little Ones Foundation, spearheading the project, have designed 10 000 cardboard cots to distribute in six provinces across the country.
The NGO's spokesperson, Sasha Endemann, advises that mothers must have attended at least four antenatal classes to qualify, emphasising that, "This is to promote healthcare and improve the mortality (rate) of both the mothers and their newborn."

The Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) supports the call for a fuel-levy to help pay for Gauteng's controversial e-tolling system.
The JPSA along with the majority of interested parties who have already made their submissions to the Gauteng e-toll review panel sitting, set up by Gauteng premier David Makhura, argue that the multi-billion rand project must be scrapped.
JPSA's Howard Dembovsky says there are other ways to pay for the roads, and declares that, "We have made a number of recommendations and of course we cannot ignore the elephant in the room which is the fuel levy. We have provided sustentative proof that there is no such thing as not being able to ring-fence the fuel levy."

A director of a nonprofit chefs' school in Cape Town has been declared 'undesirable' by the Department of Home Affairs after overstaying his visa by 25 days.
Barry Berman, a United States citizen who runs the Infinity Culinary Training school in Pinelands, may not re-enter the country before June 2015.
He co-founded the school in 2009 with Zimbabwean-born, Spencer Moyana, to teach basic cooking skills to people from poor communities to improve their chances of gaining employment.

The National Lottery Board (NLB) has handed over cheques worth millions of rands to charity organisations across South Africa.
The donations were made at the NLB's women empowerment function as part of commemorating Women's Month in Pretoria on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the NLB has also condemned last week's incident where one of their officials was suspended on allegations of fraud to the tune of R600 000 meant for good causes.

The Helen Suzman Foundation (HSF) has told the Constitutional Court that the police minister's powers to suspend the head of the Hawks are too broad and open to abuse.
HSF's David Unterhalter told the court the prescripts governing the power to suspend are vaguely defined, adding that, "Grounds of suspension are not specified."
Unterhalter, who warned that, "An exercise of power without proper review is dangerous," argues that the minister's powers of suspension are not specified, and a suspension made on 'a ministerial whim' could disrupt the office of the Hawks, with 'huge consequences'.

The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (CASAC) says that President Jacob Zuma's failure to account properly on the Public Protector's report on his Nkandla homestead shows contempt for Parliament and for the Constitution.
In a press statement, CASAC points out that, "The president should be allowed to complete his answers to the questions that had been tabled for answer on 21 August 2014, and to respond to any supplementary questions in the National Assembly."
Meanwhile, Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, wrote that, "I am concerned that the decision you have made regarding the police minister gives him power he does not have under law, which is to review my decision taken in pursuit of the powers of administrative scrutiny I am given... by the Constitution."

The Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) says that instead of condoning 'abusive behaviour' on the part of metro police officers, senior Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JPMD) official should ensure that officers comply with the law.
JPSA national chairperson, Howard Dembovsky, urged JMPD management to adhere to its standing orders, and encourage officers to act like adults and responsible law enforcers, instead of thugs.
Dembovsky was responding to Metro police Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar's comments following a reported incident of 'abuse' perpetrated against Johannesburg motorist, Kady-Shay O'Bryan, by a JMPD officer.

According to an article articled 'The Good and Bad of Genetically Modified Organisms' by Peter Sunday, the African Union a few months back called for an explanation regarding the good and the bad of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for Ugandans to decide which path to take.
Sunday states that the debate around GMOs comes at a time when 400 African organisations representing small-scale farmers, faith-based organisations, social movements, non-governmental organisations, organic producers, consumers business people have signed an African civil society petition sent to African union denouncing GMOs on the basis of lack safety data on GMOs.
He further states that major trading countries are involved in conflicts in relation to patent rights of the products produced, with others argues that GM corn can trigger health problems like allergies.

With the growing season over, it's time to put your feet up and relax, right? There are no weeds to pull, or watering to be done. The harvest is in, and now it's time to enjoy a little down time. Well, maybe not just yet. There is still some time to treat your soils and do a little preparation for next spring. In Barton County, we have a pretty high Ph. We can't be sure what your soil Ph is without a soil test. The range for most of this area is from 7.1 all the ...
Marketing Kansas-grown wheat to world buyers includes not only a quality and consistent crop, but strong relationships with those who buy it. For these reasons and more, sales of hard red winter wheat to Latin America have increased significantly in marketing year 2013/2014 with year to date sales to Central and South America at 5.33 MMT.
The weather over the last few days has provided an exclamation point to the end of the 2013 cropping season. With the exception of some fields of grain sorghum waiting to be harvested, crops are in the bin and the wheat that was going to be planted has been. Now is a time, unless you have cattle, to slow down a little and catch a breath. Or at least it used to be a "down" time. The saying goes, "Nature abhors a vacuum," and that applies to producer downtime, especially as the days of only growing wheat become a distant ...
To say the farm bill has moved like molasses through Congress the past three years is a gross understatement. This branch of our federal government continues to be mired in the mud of partisan politics.
It may come as a surprise that the participants at the Buhler-KSU Executive Milling Course at the International Grains Program (IGP) this week are not millers. But, that is exactly the point. The week-long course, underway currently, is designed to provide members of milling operations, who may not be millers themselves, a basic understanding of the milling process.
At this time of year, many producers are starting to make plans to switch from pastures and fields to forage such as prairie hay to keep their livestock healthy through the winter to come. One of the best things that can be done is to have your forage tested. That way you know what its nutritional composition is, and if you will need to add any supplements to their diet to satisfy their requirements. The first step to determine this is sampling the forage. Here are the recommended principles for proper hay sampling to be able to get the best ...
Last week's column dealt with direct changes to foods on the grocery shelf, the end product. This week let's examine changes made out in the field long before food hits the shelf. These are changes due to consumer preferences, food safety, economics, potential environmental damage and in response to the environmental pressures. Naturally there are many more changes than can be listed here.
OLATHE – Kansas State University Olathe is the site of the new Microbial Surveillance Lab, a partnership with Merck Animal Health. The lab will be a second site for the K-State Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, which is based on the Manhattan campus.
With more than three decades of collective service under their belts, six former U.S. agricultural secretaries discussed and cussed climate change, international trade, subsidies, crop insurance, food stamps and a bushel basket full of other ag issues Oct. 21.
With the official dedication of the O.H. Kruse Feed Technology Innovation Center on Oct. 11, Kansas State University's Grain Science Complex added another building, and increased opportunities for customer education, hands-on experience for students and enhanced research capacity.
You may have missed some items regarding changes occuring in the grocery section where you shop. While they may not affect agriculture directly, they indicate changes to the items in the title. So what exactly are these changes?
During the last decade, growth of U.S. agricultural exports to the European Union (EU) has been the slowest among this country's top 10 export destinations. If U.S. farmers and ranchers had an opportunity to compete, trade with the EU could become a growth market for them.
Over the last several weeks, the discussion on pruning and cutting back trees and shrubs has come up more than once. I thought that I would share a short article from K-State Research and Extension about how and when you should plan on trimming those woody plants.
Hopefully most of you read the columns of Alicia Boor, the ANR agent with the Barton County Extension Office. Last week she discussed the definitions of various types of freezes and what they meant to anyone growing plants in our area. Even with these excellent definitions people still have questions and want to know why the weather reports and statistics they hear don't match their experience that day. Let's take a moment to explore why. The major reason involves how the measurements are taken and where.
The 2013 Kansas Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom (KFAC) Annual Meeting will be held Thurs., Nov. 14, in Manhattan. The meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a lunch following. The meeting will take place at the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center, where the KFAC office is located.
Many times when I go out on home visits, the homeowners concerns are with trees on their property. One reason for your trees being in distress may very well be your lawn. If your grass, (especially cool season grasses such as fescue) is allowed to grow up to the trunk of your trees, the competition for water and other nutrients may cause your tree to decline in health. Following is a report on research that has been completed by KSU with more information about the grass and tree competition issue many homeowners have faced.
The two previous columns briefly outlined reasons for the large changes in agriculture over the last century and the results of those changes for the society. Also discussed were the effects these changes had on the practice of agriculture. Now, let's wrap it up and discuss how these changes changed agricultural producers themselves. Please keep in mind these are general trends that don't necessarily mean everyone producing food, fiber, or fuel or that today is bad and a century ago was better or vice-versa..

Last week's column briefly discussed some of the reasons for the large changes in agriculture over the last century. Drivers for change included two World Wars, the Great Depression, economic conditions after WWII, and the Federal Government. One reader pointed out that the column almost painted war as a good thing for agriculture. That wasn't the intent. The fact is the driver for change and the development of new techniques and technologies is typically an event or events forcing and accelerating change. Now, how did events change farming over the last century.
Many authors have documented the rise and fall of civilizations throughout time. Reasons for this rollercoaster effect are numerous-from human-influenced changes such as conquest, culture or religion, to events that occur in the natural environment including changes in climate or the presence of natural resources, such as soil.

New Combo Of Chemo And Well-Known Malaria Drug Delivers Double Punch To Tumors
Penn oncologist presents results of new approach to fighting cancer at annual AAAS meeting
Blocking autophagy — the process of "self-eating" within cells — is turning out to be a viable way to enhance the effectiveness of a wide variety of cancer treatments.
Specifically, blocking the action of an acidic inner cell part, which acts like a stomach and chews up proteins for recycling, is the main attack strategy, says Ravi K. Amaravadi, MD, an assistant professor of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine and Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Amaravadi will give a presentation on the role of autophagy in fighting cancer at the annual American Association for Advancement of Science meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia.
His lab and others have demonstrated that adding hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) — an FDA-approved drug used commonly for malaria and rheumatoid arthritis — to many cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, can enhance the antitumor activity of these drugs in laboratory models of treatment-resistant cancers, and ongoing clinical trials.
Autophagy is increased in cancer cells. Normally, it is a survival pathway allowing a cell to recycle damaged proteins when it's under stress and reuse the damaged parts to fuel further growth.
Cancer cells might be addicted to autophagy, since this innate response may be a critical means by which the cells survive nutrient limitation and lack of oxygen commonly found within tumors. And, it is likely to explain how some cancer cells evade chemotherapies by using, essentially, a work around.
Nearly 30 phase I and Phase II clinical trials involving HCQ have been launched or are in planning stages in many different malignancies, including melanoma, multiple myeloma, renal cell carcinoma, colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and others.
Preliminary results for most of the trials are encouraging. "Our assays performed on human blood and tissue samples indicate that high doses of HCQ are required to block autophagy in patients, and in some cases, such as in a brain tumor trial, these high doses, in combination with specific anticancer agents, can lead to toxicity for the tumor," says Amaravadi. "As the first phase I trials of HCQ are being completed, it is clear that in most cases the high-dose HCQ, in combination with existing cancer therapy, is well tolerated."
Randomized controlled trials using HCQ combinations to truly determine the effectiveness of the approach are planned. While these are being considered, the team will conduct additional laboratory experiments to identify more potent and specific inhibitors of autophagy and to identify biomarkers that can predict which patients are most likely to respond to this approach. To that end, the Amaravadi lab has identified a compound called Lys05, which is 10-fold more potent than HCQ at blocking the cell from giving the cancer cell a source of raw energy.
"While our knowledge of the role of autophagy in cancer is still in its infancy, the opportunity to learn about autophagy, both at the bench and the bedside, could accelerate the translation of basic advances in this field into clinical benefit for patients with cancer," says Amaravadi.

I am not sure about the pricing. I would like to get some feedback on that.
What is a fair price for you guys. Let's assume 2 versions. 1 with 8 relays, 1 with 16.
And just so you get an idea on what I have to solder:
When you solder each side of the chip just slather one side with alot of flux and then tin your iron. Slide the freshly tinned iron with solder upon it perpendicular to the pins and it will do one entire side of the pins in one fell swoop.
Yeah I have heard of that working, but last time I tried it that way, it all just bunched up. I spent quite a while undoing that. I have not soldered many surface mount components.
just a tip that might be useful in the future: http://www.radioshack.com/sm-45-watt...i-2062731.html
That's what I used when I desoldered the jacks on my sound card. I've also used to to correct some mistakes and to clean up some solder joints. Might be useful for you in this instance.
As for price, I'll say that it should be roughly the same as others avaliable if possible.
I don't know how much you spent on supplies so I am totally throwing this out there. You can tell me to go pound sand if you want and tell me what is reasonable. I just need the 8 relay one. The relay's have to be able to withstand maybe 20-25A I think (Maybe a little less)? I need it to switch speakers on and off at turn on/off with an amp outputing about 50Wrms to 4 ohm speakers.
Well I don't have a desoldering iron, I do have wick though which basically does the same thing. The problem I had was the common hand soldering method for sufrace mount components, is to slather it in solder, and then quickly put it on the PCB. If all goes well, then the solder sticks to the PCB and not to the other pins. It has some magic trick that I have not as of yet conquered.
I just might though, because I ordered some more surface mount parts for some other components, just to test my luck! :D
For the high current relays, is 30A acceptable? I can't see too many applications where over 30A would be neccessary...
I found a good price (~$2) on some relays that are PCB mountable, and they have a 30A max for the contacts.
Anyone need anything higher?
I don't see a need for anything over 30 in most situations.
On our truck we have two 70 amp relays for the Viper fan we're running...but that's a special circumstance...lol
30A works for me.

Crown Princess Cruise Review by Jean Tebay: Crown Princess - Canada/New England

Crown Princess - Canada/New England
Our biggest complaint: The food was, on the whole, BAD. Even in the extra-charge Crown Grill, bad. The petit filet I had in the Crown Grill was inedible. Lobster? A joke. Lobsters looked like crayfish.
The ship was late to certain ports, cutting our shore time short. Long lines to tender back to the ship.
Service overall was minimum quality; no smiles, no fun.
Everytime we turned around, we were being harassed to purchase "extra" things. The nickle-dime approach. Not pleasant.
The good news? Embarkation and debarkation went quickly and smoothly. Our tour guide in Newport was excellent (Doris Duke's Rough Point). Room service, Jove, was always cheerful and provided us with that "extra touch." (We ended up opting for room service over the bad dining room food!)
Bottom line: Would we go again on the Crown Princess? No!

Malibu, Calif.
The "beach-house-relaxed" Cliffside Malibu claims to provide an oasis for recovering addicts and alcoholics. And that's just what you'll get—if you've got the cash.
Visions offers top-of-the-line treatment for 13 to 18 year old addicts, with alumni that includes Elizabeth Brockovich—daughter of Erin Brockovich—who found treatment in Vision's outpatient, day school, sober living and their Launch program.
This SoCal rehab fosters a regimented but respectful recovery environment, where teens learn how to live sober through plenty of 12-step meetings and life-skills classes—not to mention "equine-assisted psychotherapy" and mixed martial arts.
The kind of addict who comes to Sunset Malibu is frequently using drugs to cope with a deep pain; for these people, life is just too painful to deal with without the buffer of drugs or alcohol.
An alternative to 12-step programs, Gulf Breeze Recovery offers panoramic ocean views in a caring and therapeutic environment. Housing up to 26 residential guests, this luxury facility offers a choice of semi-private or private rooms with or without ocean views.

Each residence hall has Community Advisors (CAs) to help residents. CAs are valuable resources for all students on campus. Their main responsibilities are the safety, security, and well-being of the resident students. They offer educational and recreational programs that all students are encouraged to attend. The staff of CAs are supervised and trained by the Director of Residence Life.
We all need to work together to live in a healthy and safe community. All students and staff are encouraged to report any vandalism that they may witness to Campus Safety or to any member of the Residence Life staff. We also invite and encourage all members of our community to participate in our events and offer suggestions, ideas, and assistance. Southern Vermont College is a wonderful place to live, and we all must work together to keep it that way.
Residence Hall living can be a very important part of a student's educational experience. Many lifelong friendships have developed from college roommate relationships. Southern Vermont College encourages all full-time students to take advantage of the on-campus housing facilities.
All full-time students, primarily freshmen and sophomores, with fewer than four full-time semesters of college enrollment are required to reside in College housing, unless you live within 45 miles of the campus or are 21 years of age or older.

Florala is a town of just under 2000 located in southeast Alabama along US Highway 331 near the border with Florida. Florala's name came from combining Florida and Alabama. One of the first settlers in the area was James Edward Hughes who came here in 1865. Florala was incorporated in 1901. Alabama's largest lake, Lake Jackson, is in Florala. The lake was named after Andrew Jackson who camped on its shore in 1818 when en route to Pensacola. Florala has a nice historic district with a few buildings of historical and/or architectural interest.

- The French president proclaimed that the sanctions against Russia should be lifted.
- The main problem of the Russian stock market is the collapse of oil prices right now.
- The investors shouldn't expect that the end of sanctions will have a strong effect on the Market Vectors Russia ETF.
- Russian share market is undervalued compared to its foreign peers.
- The undervaluation is caused by political risks represented by the current political crisis between Russia and Ukraine and the international sanctions.
- The most undervalued is the Russian energy sector.
- RSX has approximately 40% upside potential to be realised after the problems are resolved.
- RSX is a risky buy, unless the current problems are resolved.
- Valuations are fairly expensive globally, but one market stands out above the rest.
- I focus not only on valuation, but economic conditions also.
- Focusing on the long term allows for investors to benefit from near-term weakness.
- We name thirteen macro-economic reasons why Russia is currently the best place for contrarian investments.
- Russia has maybe the world's best central banker that fights high pay rises with tight monetary policy and potentially with higher unemployment.
- Even if the current situation could trigger a somewhat harder landing; an end to the credit and housing boom is beneficiary for the country. Russian households are finally saving more.
- Thanks to oil and gas sales and slower consumer spending, the Russian current account surplus will continue to be highly positive and prevent a stronger hard landing.
- Russia has low debt and a massive foreign currency reserves that permit to influence the ruble exchange rate.
- As Russia's President Putin pursues his strategy of defiance, the Russia economy is in danger of entering a full-blown crisis.
- Russian-based ETFs, such as RSX, have seen uninterrupted net outflows as investors tire of the uncertainty surrounding Russia.
- As a result, some larger Russian firms are in the process of transferring funds to Asian banks.
- With no strong signs of Putin changing policies, we are increasingly negative on RSX in particular, and suggest investors be so, as well.
- Russia is still a BRIC economy.
- Sanctions are not that bad.
- Geopolitical battles will likely die down.
- Inherent risks are already priced into most Russian stocks.
- Russia does have a number of positives that could boost its stocks.
- There are several different ways to invest in Russia: Stocks, ETFs & Mutual Funds.
- Politics is not the economy. It has temporary impacts on the economy, no doubt, but economies always find a way around political stupidity.
- What I'm saying is: Act on logic, not emotion.
- As an investor, our aim is to use the market against itself, to look past the smoke that clouds the present and to see the sunnier future that exists.

Works in progress: hands-on with Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight prototypes
Black Lake
Eerie and haunting, Black Lake is our favourite of the bunch. A lush, spooky forest where spindly-legged monsters stalk is the setting, and a quest to track a fox through the woods is the task. The protagonist – a hunter's daughter – carries a lantern that lies at the core of a simple stealth mechanic. When lit, you can see further afield, yet the monsters will come for you. Switch the lantern off and you'll be absorbed by the dark. The actual tracking mechanics are simplistic, built around following paw prints and scent trails, but there are hints as to the shape a fuller game might take. The hunter's daughter can pluck plants from the ground and stumble across her father's broken bear traps, hinting, perhaps, at a crafting system, while the accordion she carries can be used Zelda-style, to magical effect. The final sequence is beautifully surreal, as she uses music to repair the broken dreams spilling from the foxes mind into the forest.
The White Birch
Perhaps the most conventional game we played, The White Birch also suffers the most from being a prototype. Poor clipping and floaty jumping don't serve platform games well, so it's testament to the aesthetic vision behind the game that we'd still like to see more. It's not just the look that recalls Ico, with the washed-out minimalism of its sun-bleached stone, but the mechanics too. There's a simple physical logic behind the platforming, as the spindly-limbed hero uses her own weight to tip a vertically oriented bridge by leaping atop it. The White Birch tells the story of a girl's ascent up a giant, seemingly endless tower, and there's mystery here that – should the game be finished – will take multiple playthroughs to uncover.
A sparking toybox, Autonomus lets you build strange robotic helpers from pieces found in a Tron-like computerised landscape. Your freeform goal is to harvest energy from nodes and other robots in the randomly generated environment. This, coupled with the freedom with which you can assemble your creations, makes for some wonderfully emergent chaos. We tried to build a robot using the head from a turret, for instance, only to find it didn't know how to move. This spectacular failure on our part wasn't helped by the rather placeholder visual language that lets you reprogram your creations, but it's still a tribute to the way this open-ended sandbox is already adept at generating unpredictable chains of effect. Later, we sent a more successful creation to harvest energy, only to find ourselves in a tense escort mission in which we hurriedly reassembled troops from the fallen on both sides. In a sense, Autonomus feels more like an alpha than a prototype: there's a full game here, and we'd just like to see a see a steady influx of new environmental features and robotic parts for the electric playground.
Spacebase DF9
A management sim built in two weeks was always going to lack depth and complexity, but Spacebase DF9 has a secret weapon: its cast. There's the sense that Double Fine is adding a dash of soap to the space opera here: click on your citizens (all named for sci-fi characters) and you'll find them grumbling about the general state of the station as well as each other. The humour's broad but amusing, as engineer Mare Worf, who at the time of writing has contracted a nasty combination of Space Syphilis and Cosmic Chlamydia, can attest. There's a powerful sense of building out into the unknown too, as you construct bridges through the depths of space to reach derelicts and find the citizens and building supplies inside.

EPA Plan Targets New Coal-Fired Plants
The Environment Protection Agency released a draft rule Tuesday that puts new limits on greenhouse gas emissions from any future coal-fired power plants. The technology required to meet the new limits on carbon dioxide is currently so expensive that the rule effectively would put an end to the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the U.S.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
A big change for the power industry. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new limit for how much greenhouse gases future power plants can pump out. The limit would basically outlaw construction of conventional plants that are fueled by coal. But as NPR's Elizabeth Shogren reports, a revolution is already underway.
ELIZABETH SHOGREN, BYLINE: The kind of coal plants that have been the mainstay of the nation's electricity supply for decades would be too dirty to meet the EPA's proposal. Power plants that burn coal are the biggest source of electricity in the country. But burning all that coal also makes them the biggest source of carbon dioxide.
EPA chief, Lisa Jackson, says her proposal is a commonsense way to tackle the very real threat of climate change. She talked to reporters on a conference call.
LISA JACKSON: The standard will help us minimize the carbon released into the atmosphere day after day. It will enhance the lives of our children and our children's children.
SHOGREN: But here's the thing. Jackson says the industry has already turned its back on coal for new plants. That's because new technology has opened up abundant supplies of natural gas from shale deposits. Burning gas emits far less greenhouse gases than coal. Industry likes that gas prices are very low and predicted to stay down.
JIM ROGERS: As we look out over the next two decades, we do not plan to build another coal plant.
SHOGREN: That's Jim Rogers, president of Duke Energy. Just a few years ago, Rogers was derisively calling natural gas the crack cocaine of the power industry. It was cheap to build the plants, but prices fluctuated wildly. Now, he says he's hooked himself.
ROGERS: I'm now an addict. And I was concerned with respect to whether shale gas was the real deal or not. And as the evidence is coming in, it's proving to be the real deal.
SHOGREN: So Rogers had already been betting on gas over coal.
ROGERS: If we have no plans, as one of the largest utilities and largest - users of coal in the country, no plans to build a new coal plant for two decades so the regulations are not relevant.
SHOGREN: American Electric Power is also making a switch to gas. Still, its president, Nick Akins, is nervous about EPA's proposal.
NICK ATKINS: I think the U.S. energy policy needs to include everything. So it's important for us to really keep coal in the picture.
SHOGREN: Now, under the EPA's proposal, you could still build a coal plant. But to keep your greenhouse gases down, you'd have to capture the plant's carbon dioxide. American Electric Power successfully did that on a small scale, but it has no plans to scale up that technology because it's so expensive.
Environmental leaders like Sierra Club's Executive Director, Michael Brune, are skeptical that technology will keep coal alive.
MICHAEL BRUNE: We'll probably never see a new coal plant built in the United States. It marks the end of an era in which coal was the dominant source of power in the United States.
SHOGREN: Brune says that this is very good news. Sierra Club was part of a group of environmental groups and states that sued the EPA to force it to make this rule. Still, Brune and others are upset that EPA officials do not plan to tackle existing power plants too.
BRUNE: They are bound by law to address the pollution coming from existing coal-fired power plants. And we'll take the EPA to court again, if necessary, to make sure that they're enforcing the law.
SHOGREN: Environmental groups add that now that the EPA is endorsing natural gas as the fuel of choice, it had better start regulating the air and water pollution that come from drilling for that gas. Elizabeth Shogren NPR News. Washington.

U.S. Edition
[Editor's Note: This post contains spoilers for the January 10 episode of "30 Rock."]
With only three episodes of "30 Rock" left, the farewells have begun.
The (terrifying) new Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Spaceman, yelled, "That's a series wrap on Leo Spacemen, suckers!"
Before his exit, Dr. Spaceman prescribed Liz fertility hormones. Tracy was concerned, and he's not a woman, so he could say whatever he wanted. "That stuff will shrink your testicles. But there are bad side effects as well."
Once those side effects reached her left blob ("Being a woman is the worst!"), Liz called Megan Mullally at the adoption agency. Mullally's character said she'd have to wait four years for an infant, but "I can give you a 6-year-old yesterday, pick a color."
Meanwhile, Hank Hooper decided to hand Kabletown over to granddaughter Kaylie, and appointed Jack her assistant. "It'll work great, just like Conan and Jay."
So Jack enlisted private investigator Len Wiseman (Steve Buscemi), who went undercover (for good) and led Jack to his nemesis Devin Banks.
During a visit at his new job ("Really Banks, spin class? Isn't that a bit of a gay cliche?"), Banks said Kaylie's father was gay. ("How gay, Banks, on a scale from bear hunting to hunting bears?")
To prove Hank Jr. wasn't the girl's real father, they just needed her DNA. ("I've got a ton of her dad's.")
Teen Kaylie was a formidable adversary. "You're so old and out of touch Donaghy. I might as well be looking at Justin Timberlake." BURN!
But Jack managed to fast track a paternity test with the help of his powerful friends at "The Maury Povich Show." Jack knew Devin was lying, and had him mail Hank a birthday card instead of the fake negative test. He knew birthdays were the only thing more important to Hank than family. Kaylie was devastated: "After college I'm going to have to go into publishing, and marry a finance guy and do charity stuff."
Meanwhile, Tracy was struggling to control the Tracy-esque star of his Harriet Tubman biopic, Octavia Spencer. "I got to go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan."
He channeled the only person who could keep him in line. "Blerg! I'm Liz Lemon. I'm in charge. Nerds. I want to have a baby. My boyfriend is a pilot or something. Sandwiches."
The role reversal gave Tracy new perspective. He told Liz that she could do anything. So she overcame her fear of 30-year-old Russian dwarf imposters and called the agency to inquire about adopting an older child.
Goodbye Dr. Spaceman, and farewell Devin Banks. We'll never forget the wisdom you've imparted on us: "You win sex against a man. That's as straight as it gets."
What did you think of last night's episode?

Alex is a down right idiot. He throws a tantrum on a plane, is disrespectful to airline personnel, yet still has the nerve to do commercials for a credit card that pushes earning flying miles. Get him out of the limelight.

Dozens of Christian faith leaders from the greater New York area united at the Faith Exchange in New York City on Friday to express their support for Israel in its current conflict with the Palestinian Hamas group. Israel and Hamas are currently involved in a violent and ongoing clash that one religious leader attending Friday's event described as one of the "defining issues of our time."
Thirty-two Christian leaders joined media and Ambassador Ido Aharoni, consul general of Israel in New York, to discuss the importance of supporting Israel during this time of conflict and violence. Dr. Paul de Vries, president of the New York Divinity School, organized Friday's press conference.
De Vries told The Christian Post that several important topics were discussed among the ministers, including what they believe to be a clear distinction of good versus evil between Israel and Hamas in the way they treat their own citizens. more >>
World leaders are increasingly pointing to U.S. President Obama's failures in the Middle East.
Some are direct and blunt. For example, during his recent visit to Brazil, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked by journalists about U.S. sanctions against Russia due to the Ukrainian crisis. While naturally condemning such moves, part of his response was to accuse the Obama administration of "encouraging war between neighboring states." In the same context, Putin added:
American objectives have not been realized, nor have they accomplished anything, because everything has collapsed. Afghanistan faces problems, and Iraq and Libya are falling apart. Egypt also was going to collapse had President Sisi not taken matters in hand. And all this demonstrates the failures of the Obama administration. more >>
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has criticized both Israel and Hamas and urged them to stop the fighting after a shell destroyed a U.N. school on Thursday in Gaza, killing 16 people and injuring over 200.
"This is wrong," Ban said, according to CNN.
"I am telling to the parties – both Israelis and Hamas, Palestinians, that it is morally wrong to kill your own people. Whole world has been watching, is watching with great concern. You must stop fighting. And enter into dialogue." more >>
Dear Members of the Mainstream Media,
You've been awesome! Everyone knows that we start unwinnable wars with Israel because the real victory happens when you predictably side with us each time. And you've been so supportive of our strategy that we really want to acknowledge your helpfulness. In particular, we thank you for:
-Focusing so much more on our suffering than anyone else's. Nigerians must die in far greater numbers before you take notice, so we're glad that you value our lives so much more. more >>
"We have your back," President Obama told Israelis when he visited that embattled country recently. Way back, apparently. Mr. Obama's administration famously claimed to "lead from behind" in overthrowing Libya's strongman, Khaddafi. Young Sergeant Benjamin Anthony spoke to the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Washington Summit this week. Sgt. Anthony described a different vision of leadership. Ahalai he gave as the Hebrew word for "after me." Officers in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) they should lead from the front. That used to be America's idea of leadership, too.
You cannot say Sec. John Kerry isn't alert to his opportunities. He sees another chance to be a peacemaker. He is rushing to the Mideast to broker a cease-fire. Sgt. Anthony says Israel needs a victory over HAMAS terrorists who have been hiding rockets in schools and hospitals.
Kerry wants Israelis to stop trying to root out those who have sent more than 9,000 rockets into Israel. Canada's National Post recently reported that the UNWRA-the world body's refugee agency-closed down a school it was operating in Gaza after a cache of HAMAS rockets was discovered next door. The UN bureaucrats did what they usually do: they turned the rockets over to "local authorities." In Gaza, that means they gave the rockets back to HAMAS. The cartoonist wasn't kidding when he said HAMAS means "hiding among mosques and schools." more >>
The largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States released a statement Tuesday demanding that President Barack Obama push Israel and Hamas towards negotiating a ceasefire immediately.
"The situation is escalating beyond control. The bloodshed and wielding of power in the contested land is unconscionable," reads the statement from the Presbyterian Church (USA) Office of the General Assembly."Just as the United States has moved swiftly to provide $47 million in humanitarian assistance to Gaza, America also must lead the way in insisting on a ceasefire and enabling negotiations."
The statement also said that the PCUSA leaders "urge President Obama to use all the diplomatic weight afforded the highest office of this nation to end this conflict, and support all steps toward lasting peace in the Middle East." more >>
