The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) experienced a 19 percent increase in the total number of stakeholder requests from fiscal year (FY) 2013 to FY 2014, according to Dr. Edwin Parks, LM Program Analyst.
LM provides stakeholders with information in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Privacy Act, Energy Employee's Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) claims, and other routine requests.
On a late June afternoon on the high desert east of Tuba City, Arizona, members of a Navajo family scoot along the sand riding all-terrain vehicles, rounding up their horses under a ceramic-blue sky. Across a dune ridge, Quentin Benally wipes his brow, adjusts his camo sun hat, and for the umpteenth time, leans over a 25-meter tape measure stretched across the desert floor and calls out the scientific names of plants. His associate stands nearby with pen to paper.
The Eighth Annual National Conference on Health Disparities was held November 5 through 8, 2014, in Long Beach, California. Like past conferences, it focused on policies and programs to reduce health disparities. However, the 2014 session saw one panel address a new topic—the impact of health issues, including disparities, on our nation's military personnel and national security.
The Mound Science and Energy Museum (MSEM) is an active, volunteer-led organization located at the former U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Mound site in Miamisburg, Ohio. MSEM keeps the 60-year history of scientific discoveries, inventions, and ingenuity of Mound site workers alive.
A project to reconfigure the East Trenches Plume Treatment System (ETPTS) at the Rocky Flats site, to improve treatment effectiveness and meet the strict water quality standards in the area, is scheduled to be completed in January 2015. The ETPTS was installed in 1999. The system was designed to intercept and treat groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents, chemicals commonly used in dry cleaning and to clean tools. At Rocky Flats, the solvents were used primarily as degreasers and lathe and machining coolants.
When the permeable reactive barrier treatment system associated with the Durango disposal cell toe drain was removed in 2010, the perimeter fence was also removed and the materials were stockpiled outside of the evaporation pond fence line. Plans at the time were to eventually recycle the materials.
Groundwater containing legacy contaminants (pollutants that remain after their sources have been controlled) moves through aquifers in response to the hydraulic gradient. As the groundwater moves, contaminants accumulate on solids (e.g., soil, alluvium, and rock). Clean groundwater entering the aquifer upgradient of the site is contaminated by "bleed back" from the solids phases in the soil or rock. Accurate cleanup times are difficult to predict because of this contaminant desorption effect.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) 2014 All-Hands Training was held the week of July 28, 2014, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The week included presentations from LM staff and managers, a trip to the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, teamwork and personal development training, as well as site visits within the Grants Mining District.
The federal government, including the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM), has been challenged by Executive and DOE orders to reach two goals related to energy usage and metering. The first goal states that LM should reduce energy use intensity (EUI) by 30 percent by fiscal year (FY) 2020, as compared to the FY 2003 baseline. The metering goal was for LM to have 90 percent of its energy use individually metered by FY 2013, a goal that LM will now be able to meet by expanded metering of groundwater treatment systems at its sites.
Dr. Ernest Moniz, the U.S. Secretary of Energy, submitted the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Defense-Related Uranium Mines Report to Congress on September 2, 2014. Section 3151 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 mandated that DOE, "...

Interview: Mackenzie Knight (Unearthly Encounters Live! Radio)
I have always been pretty interested in the paranormal, and since there are so many fans of shows like Ghost Hunters, Haunted Collector, and many others it is obvious that I am not alone. Mackenzie Knight is a paranormal researcher/investigator, host of her own celebrity paranormal radio show called "Unearthly Encounters Live!" on Blog Talk Radio, and an author. Needless to say she is a pretty busy woman these days so I felt very fortunate … Continue reading

Conflicts of Interest As a Management Committee member/trustee, you are required to act in the best interests of the organisation. However, inevitably, individuals have a wide range of interests in private, public and professional life and these interests might, on occasions, conflict, (for example: Director of supplier or consultant to charity). We would be obliged to review any possible conflicts when preparing our annual report so would ask each Management Committee member to supply the following details: Has NSUN made any loans to you? Have you, or people connected with you through family, business or another charity, an interest in a contract or transaction with the organisation? Have you or any person connected with you derived any pecuniary benefit or gain from the organisation? Signed: __________________ Date: ____________ Potential conflicts of interest need to be carefully considered and correctly managed. We would need to think about potential or perceived conflicts as well as actual conflicts - they can be just as damaging. It is good practice to have an agreed policy and practice that trustees follow when considering conflicts of interest. The starting point should always be the organisation's governing document. A policy on conflicts of interest can include: A code of conduct for trustees Register of personal interests A procedure for identifying conflicts, for example over payments to trustees A procedure for withdrawing from discussion and decision A procedure for minuting of this process Sample policy on conflicts of interest Any trustee who has a financial interest in a matter under discussion, should declare the nature of their interest and withdraw from the room, unless they have a dispensation to speak. If a trustee has any interest in the matter under discussion, which creates a real danger of bias, that is, the interest affects their, or a member of their household, more than the generality affected by the decision: they should declare the nature of the interest and withdraw from the room, unless they had a dispensation to speak. If a trustee has any other interest which does not create a real danger of bias, but which might reasonably cause others to think it could influence their decision, they should declare the nature of the interest, but may remain in the room, participate in the discussion, and vote if they wish. If in any doubt about the application of these rules they should consult with the chair. It is recommended that trustee's interests are listed in a register. Examples of good practice When trustees become aware of a new, actual or potential conflict of interest, they should give notice of it to the Secretary to enable him/her to update the Conflicts Register. The Secretary should include in their report for each trustees' meeting details of any contracts/agreements to be entered into prior to the next meeting of the trustees and any potential conflicts identified from a check of the Register. Competitive tendering for contracts or work for which a trustee might be suited (and taking up references from other clients or customers). Understanding trustee codes of conduct A trustee code of conduct is an agreement between the organisation and individual board members that spells out the standards of behaviour expected from trustees. Trustees sign up to the code when they join the board. When they do so, they are pledging to uphold its standards. The governing board, using input from other parts of the organisation, writes the code to establish a set of organisational values - for example integrity, honesty, transparency. It also asks for specific behaviours from trustees designed to put these principles into practice. NCVO recommends that every voluntary sector organisation institute a trustee code of conduct. In brief, a trustee code of conduct, well formulated and properly implemented, can be a powerful tool for improving quality of trustee board governance: The very act of writing a code can have a good effect on the board by bringing concerns into the open and inspiring debate. Codes of conduct provide basic protection for the organisation by defining inappropriate behaviour on the part of its trustees. Codes can be used to improve trustee recruitment, induction, assessment, training and development. NCVO's model codes are intended to offer a place for boards to begin the vital process of policymaking. They are not intended as templates for policy for all organisations. An policy authored by anyone other than the board (even by NCVO) and adopted without discussion won't necessarily suit the organisation. It's the board's responsibility to know the special needs of its organisation and tailor policy to fit. Fostering trustee ownership For implementation to be effective, the board must feel that the code of conduct comes from them, reflecting their concerns and expressing their wishes. This sense of ownership is born during the writing process when the board formulates the code. Once a code has been created, this feeling of ownership has to be kept alive. New trustees have to buy into existing codes of conduct and serving ones need to keep them in mind. Author: Tesse Akpeki Editor: Marta Maretich What is a conflict of interest The legal background The duties and legal responsibilities of trustees include: At all times, to act in the best interests of the charity. Not to benefit from his or her office as a trustee - other than to the extent permitted by the constitution. Not to put himself or herself in a position where his or her interests conflict with those of the charity. The law is quite clear on the point. Irrespective of the way in which a trustee comes to be appointed, while acting as a charity trustee his or her first duty is to the charity. All other loyalties must be put to one side. If this is not possible, then the organisation should engage itsprocedures on conflicts of interest. If this is simply not possible, or if the conflicts are so frequent as to limit a trustee's usefulness as a trustee, then they must stand down from one of the posts. Conflicts are difficult Although these duties can be stated without much difficulty, putting them into practice can be much more complex. Take for example, the case of the trustee who, at a dinner party, sits next to a successful businessman. She chats to him in an animated way about the work of the charity of which she is a trustee; the charity runs hostels for young homeless people. She regales him with stories of the daily miracles they perform to keep the charity's services going on a budget that is roughly comparable with his wife's dress allowance. By the end of the evening the company director and wife are both brimming over with enthusiasm for the work of the charity and determined to get involved. A couple of days later a large cheque arrives in the post from her dinner companion's company together with a note from him inviting the trustee to meet his fellow board members to discuss the possibility of her being offered a highly prestigious (and not at all badly paid) non- executive directorship on his board - he thinks that she might have a thing or two to teach his colleagues about keeping the company's overheads down. And then it all starts to go horribly wrong - the man is on the board of a large drinks company and the charity is only too well aware of the alcohol-related problems of many of its clients. The charity very badly needs the money but would accepting it be in the best interests of the charity? If the trustee turns down the funds, will she lose the chance of that tempting non-executive post? To help identify potential and actual conflicts of interest, it may be useful to divide them into two categories: personal interest conflicts and "divided loyalty" conflicts. Personal interest conflicts Here are some examples: The post dinner party conundrum of our well-heeled (but hypothetical) trustee is an example of the personal interest conflict. Provided the charity does not upset her dinner companion, she stands to gain a very attractive and possibly lucrative part- time job. Although the job is by no means certain, even if they accept the money, the conflict of interest is nonetheless very real. The professional who believes that the firm of which he is a partner (and in whose profits he shares) would be best placed to meet the legal or accountancy needs of the charity. The user-trustee who believes that the charity is charging too little for its services, but who will be badly hit if the rates are increased. Trustees of a charity which is facing serious financial difficulties - do they struggle on, even though they know that this will mean many frustrating hours spent trying to raise enough money to pull the charity through, or do they take the much easier option of pulling the plug while the charity still has its head above water? Divided loyaties conflicts Divided loyalties can be just as unpleasant to confront. Take, for example, the case of a trustee who thinks that an architect, who has just completed a project for the charity, did a poor and possibly negligent job. The architect is a close family friend. If the trustee's suspicions are confirmed, the charity will probably have a claim against his friend's professional indemnity insurance, but the price of such a claim is likely to be their friendship. It is a truism of the charity sector that the people who are prepared to act as charity trustees often take on (or have thrust upon them) responsibilities in other charities or community organisations. These civic-minded souls can find themselves in difficult circumstances. For example, if by virtue of being a local councillor, they are nominated to serve on the board of a charity funded by the council how can they possibility deal with the issue of the renegotiation of the charity's grant? Not just the trustees Conflicts of interest can occur outside the board, too: Patrons - although it can be embarrassing to broach the subject with a very eminent Patron, the consequences of failing to do so can be much worse. Staff of the charity - their contracts of employment and/or staff manual should include provisions for declaring and dealing with conflicts. Family members, partners or friends of the trustees, Patrons and staff. The tabloid test A simple and usually reliable test is the tabloid test: how would this look if it was ever reported by a journalist determined to make the story look as bad as possible?

I've been using Formidable for over two years now. The product is continuously being developed and improved to add new and valuable features. The flexibility of this plugin is incredible. I keep thinking of more new ways to use it, and it almost always works perfectly. Support is very professional and prompt. This is easily […]
Incredible value with superb support
amazing plug great support, Happy customer!
I left a review in WP.org my name is Dub Mahadev. https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/formidable
So much better than the other guy!
I just gladly renewed support for a year — something I'm not usually that happy about doing, but truthfully it's much less than you deserve. I'm doing some work for a client who insists on using Gravity Forms. It's awful! Things I know I can do quickly and easily in Formidable take hours — or […]
Love this product
I used Formable Pro to create a timesheet application for a construction company. I needed a form tool that could capture Signatures, on a Samsung Tablet. Using WordPress and Formable Pro I created a responsive website that mimicked their physical timesheets and followed their business logic. Once the data is entered it is exported as […]
Can't believe the power of this plugin
I set out to create a front end form that could be piped to a script then piped to an IDE to build native branded android wordpress apps from the front end. I started to doubt that the necessary fields, commands, permissions, and input data was going to be possible without a ton of user […]
Great product! Wow.
I have only used the product for a couple hours, but so far I am very, very pleased and impressed. The support feels solid as well, given I already received help (and the solution) with one thing I was working on. I really hope you guys continue to develop and create awesome 'front-end' features/uses for […]
Great Product, Great Support
I just wanted to publicly thank Jaime, Steph, and Steve, for assisting me in troubleshooting a pesky theme vs plugin conflict. The three of them were patient, professional, and knowledgeable while providing me with support for Formidable Pro. Thanks for all of your help! Kudos! John
Great Support even though pre sale
At least i know that this product meets by requirements ..great information support.. cheers
Great product
Hi Friends, I just wanted to say you have a really awesome product! Formidable Pro is incredibly flexible, well thought out and pretty easy to learn. Too often people just gripe and complain, but I wanted to take a few seconds to say "THANK YOU!" Cheers!
OMG, I apologize
So… There's a number of things I'm not happy with in Formidable. Mostly the turtle-slow development cycle. Of course, after numerous discussions I realize that you spend a lot more time handling support than you'd like to and that takes away from development time. However, despite that issue, you have always been very helpful in […]
Formidable Pro is amazing
I've only been using Formidable Pro for a few days now, but am blown away by the versatility and power that you have made available to me through it. This plug-in is a ridiculously good value! Thank you. Best money I have spent in a long time.
Excerpt field
Dear Formidablers, I was just about to ask a question – I must send praise first! By chance I discovered that it is possible to determine the excerpt from a designated field. I had struggled to find a way of displaying excerpts of varying length without changing the post content. Without great success. Now I […]
Should have plunged sooner
Hey Formidable Family, I just wanted to say that since I purchased my single site license, I've found myself at my wits end with the many sites I build trying to find workarounds for what can be done quite simply with formidable. I finally made the unlimited upgrade tonight and can't wait to clean up […]
Well done !
So far this plugin is FAB. It does what it says on the tin. The documentation could be a lot clearer & deeper but if the support staff are able to resolve everything here I give it 5*. Well done !!!!
Great support!
Thanks for providing such helpful support for an excellent product!

The United Motorcoach Association (UMA) and the National Tour Association announced that the organizations will hold their first co-located convention in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 19 to 23, 2013. This "Show of Shows" will be held at the Orange County Convention Center.
"We are very excited for this opportunity," said UMA President/CEO Victor Parra. "We think Orlando is the perfect venue for inaugurating what will singularly be the largest and most important industry event."
The co-located show will bring together 2,000 buyers with thousands of supplier and destination partners. Additionally, the World Religious Travel Association Expo will co-locate with these events, creating maximum ROI from one convention experience, according to the association.
In his resignation letter, David Armijo said his "goal of providing safe, reliable and sustainable transit service in the East Bay has been accomplished." Armijo's resignation is effective immediately.
Michael D. Griffus is the former chief executive of Keolis Transit America, a Los Angeles-based company that manages transit and rail operations across North America, while Susan Dreier is currently serving as chief operating officer at Ore.'s Salem-Keizer Transit.
The new modules will allow MST's employees to access various functionalities over the Web, including bidding on work and vacation choices, and make it easier for the agency to establish run times, produce detailed itineraries with accurate distance calculations and automatically format schedules suitable for posting at each stop.
Agency is still using paper to perform some basic financial functions, including purchase requisitions, purchase orders, incoming and outgoing invoices and pay stubs, officials said.
Apollo Video Technology has worked with several agencies through their IP implementations, refining a solution that maximizes all of the benefits of IP technology, and learning a few lessons along the way. C-Train is one agency who recently put this technology to the test.

Prominent Republicans weighed in Friday on Sarah Palin's announcement that she will resign later this month as Alaska's governor.
Interviewed by Politico.com, the conservative heavyweights said:
"Palin is at her best when she's being folksy, but there is no way to be folksy when you're resigning as governor." GOP strategist Dan Schnur
"Now she can do her book, give speeches, travel the country and the world, campaign for others, meet people, get more educated on the issues -- and without being criticized for neglecting her duties in Alaska." William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard
"There is just no good way to say quitting has made her more qualified to run for higher office." Pollster Glen Bolger
"I think Sarah Palin is on the verge of becoming the 'Miami Vice' of American politics: Something a lot of people once thought was cool and then 20 years later look back, shake their heads and just kind of laugh." Media consultant Todd Harris
Politico also interviewed Charlie Cook, founder and editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report newsletter. Cook said Alaska's remote location makes it difficult for a governor of that state to run for president, citing the long distances to key cities in the continental U.S.
Cook also said Palin's resignation means she is able to avoid making tough state-related financial decisions as America struggles in a challenging economic climate.

HoopsHype Denver Nuggets rumors
Roster | Salaries | On Twitter | Twitters | Instagram
Chris Dempsey: #Nuggets F Kenneth Faried doesn't believe big roster changes this summer has to mean a full-scale rebuild. "I always believe that we can bounce back and we will bounce back. And my teammates do, too. I think they are going to move some components - hopefully not key pieces - but major pieces on the team that needs to be moved and they'll have to sign some people. But I think it's an easy fix just as far as how things went from a positive standpoint and a give-it-all-you-got standpoint. And Melvin Hunt, I want to go out there and give it all I got for him no matter if we're down in the dumps or if we're (playing well)." #Nuggets Twitter @dempseypost
Ian Clark underwent a cram session on the Nuggets' playbook on Monday afternoon, knowing that his stay will last beyond the final eight games of the season. "It's like a new start for me," Clark said. "That's how I look at it." The plan for Clark, a 6-foot-3 guard the Nuggets were awarded off of waivers last week, extends into the summer. He said he'll be part of the Nuggets' summer league team. Clark has spent the majority of his first two years as a pro bouncing between the Utah Jazz and their D-League affiliate, the Idaho Stampede. He was let go by the Jazz on March 26. Denver Post
This is the Brook Lopez the Nuggets had eyes for leading up to the trade deadline — a deadly scorer on the block who blocks and alters shots on the defensive end. The Nets rebuffed all trade offers, but they could lose Lopez if he opts out of the final year of his contract this summer. Doing so would make him a coveted, unrestricted free agent, and the Nuggets could make another run at acquiring him if they're able to clear the salary cap space needed to make that happen. Denver Post
Denver executives have been very happy with the job done by interim coach Melvin Hunt, per sources. And while the Nuggets will conduct a thorough search for a new coach after the season, Hunt's performance since taking over for Brian Shaw earlier this month will earn him some consideration for the job. Sports Illustrated
The Denver Nuggets have claimed guard Ian Clark off waivers, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly announced today. Clark, 6-3, 180, appeared in 23 games for the Utah Jazz this season, averaging 1.9 points in 7.0 minutes per game. He also played in seven games for Utah's D-League affiliate the Idaho Stampede, posting averages of 14.0 points and 2.7 assists. Clark, undrafted out of Belmont College in 2013, has appeared in a total of 46 games over two seasons with Utah, averaging 2.4 points in 7.2 minutes. He will not be available for Denver's game at Portland tonight. NBA.com
The Denver Nuggets claimed guard Ian Clark off waivers, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The Utah Jazz waived Clark on Thursday. Clark played in 23 games for the Jazz, averaging 1.9 points in seven minutes a game. He averaged 14 points in seven games for the Jazz's NBA Development League affiliate in Boise. Clark, 23, was an undrafted free agent out of Belmont College in 2013. Yahoo! Sports

Chris Dempsey: Will Barton, in the final year of his contract, says he'd like to stay with the #Nuggets. "No doubt. I would definitely like to stay here. I think we can build something here. We have a lot of good talent, a good organization, coaching staff is good. I can see us building and having a strong future here. We can grow together." #Nuggets Twitter @dempseypost
Nelson has the option to re-set the clock in many ways as his contract next season is a player option. While Nelson likes the situation he finds himself in with the Nuggets, he's not sure what will happen this summer. "I wouldn't mind staying here," Nelson said. "I'm not ready to make that decision just yet. I'll make that decision with my agency and my family first and foremost when the time comes." Basketball Insiders
Time will tell if Nelson stays in his $2.85 million player option. The smart money says he'll be shopping for a new team, which would be his fifth team in 12 months. Basketball Insiders
When Nelson left Orlando, many of the young guys in the Magic locker room felt like they'd lost a big brother and some were incredibly vocal about it, not understanding how any team could let a veteran like Nelson go. Basketball Insiders
"It is part of the business," Nelson said to Basketball Insiders. "You know when you sign up to be a professional athlete you always have a chance to get traded two, three, four or five times. The fortunate thing for me was that I was in one city for 10 years so it's not like I've moved my entire career, it just happened this past year." Basketball Insiders
Nelson, 33, has a player option to remain with the Nuggets for the 2015-16 season. "My body's still good," Nelson said, flashing a smile. "My game is still pretty good. I mean, I can still go out there and give you 25 [points] if you need me to." Orlando Sentinel
On Saturday night, Nelson attended Orlando City SC's 1-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps at the Citrus Bowl. When Nelson walked to his seat, the fans in his section gave him an ovation. "My heart is still here, for sure," Nelson said. Orlando Sentinel
Now, they have something else in common: They're both serving as interim coaches. Borrego was moved into his current role on Feb. 5, while Hunt was moved into his current role on March 3. "My kindred brother," Hunt said when asked about Borrego. "We may just break down and cry and just hug and [sing] kumbaya at halfcourt before the game," Hunt added. "It's a tough situation to be in, but we're both big boys, and we're both embracing it. He's done an incredible job." Orlando Sentinel
At New Orleans, the Nuggets rested Wilson Chandler, Randy Foye and Darrell Arthur, and won in double overtime. On Monday in Memphis, Hunt sat Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari and Kenneth Faried in a narrow loss to the Grizzlies. Players weren't happy. Hunt said the decision to sit players came from everyone from the front office to the coaching staff. "Our organization is making that decision," Hunt said. "We're all in concert. We're all in it, we're all consulted. We all talk. We, the Denver Nuggets are making the decision." Denver Post
Hunt said he understood fans might not like the strategy, as it would seem to indicate the Nuggets aren't doing everything they can to win. "It's tough on fans, it's tough on the casual fan," Hunt said. "But at the end of the day, we have to make decisions that are going to be best for our organization. We have to be mindful of injury history. We have to be mindful of all of those different things, while at the same time, trying to win. We're going to go out there and try to win with whoever is on the court, whoever is available." Denver Post
Carmelo Anthony is way up there, but can't beat two legends from the run-and-gun teams of the 80's.

The Source is Open, n00bs Welcome
I was discussing the topic of posting to a high profile site like Linux Journal with a friend of mine recently. Their take on the issue is that it can be intimidating to say stuff, either in a blog like this, or in a forum post, because of the "what if I mess up" concern.
I understand that concern, and sure, it's important not to claim expertise where there is none. It's also important to realize that everyone interested in Linux has the, "keys to the kingdom" so to speak. So I urge everyone reading: Don't hesitate in contributing just because you feel you don't measure up. Heck, they let me into this place, so there's hope for everyone. :)
Don't understand the difference between Compiz and Beryl? Me neither. It turns out, they're not sure either, and it looks like the two are merging.
Don't understand what Ubuntu means? Me neither.
Afraid someone might find out you're not all knowing? Eh, we already know.
So get involved. Post in the forums. If you get ridiculed, I'll get out my ugly stick and beat down the offenders. If it gets too serious, I'll make some armpit noises to soften the mood. Oh, and while you're in the forums, buy me a Chumby!

Fall Centered Riding Clinic a Success
Elaine Meredith Steele delivered another successful Centered Riding Clinic at the Riding Centre. During this popular fundraising event, participants reaped the benefits of Elaine's deep knowledge and insights. Thank you again to Elaine and all those who participated!
Centered Riding® is a method of riding and riding instruction that is based on the idea of having the rider seated in the most effective position. It combines elements of martial arts, yoga, and T'ai chi ch'uan with knowledge of horsemanship to create a system where the rider is centered and balanced in the saddle. Originally developed by Sally Swift, since her death, Centered Riding has been trademarked by a non-profit educational organization that promotes awareness and teaches the principles of Centered Riding internationally. The widespread acceptance of the method marked a significant shift in horsemanship from rote, military-style instruction to a more psychological approach.

Say Goodbye to 60w & 40w Incandescent Lightbulbs
by Chris Malone
posted Dec 17 2013 5:23AM
On Jan. 1, 2014, it will be lights out for standard incandescent 60- and 40-watt light bulbs. In order to comply with efficiency standards outlined in the
Energy Independence and Security Act
, which was signed into law by President George Bush in 2007, it will be illegal to manufacture or import them after Dec. 31. But retailers will still be able to sell off any remaining stock. In 2012, all 100-watt bulbs were phased out, and 75-watt bulbs disappeared the following year.
Click here for expert tips to comply with the new law, as well as to balance energy efficiency and cost savings with aesthetics

The House and Senate negotiators have started meeting to try to agree on how much to increase Mississippi's tax on cigarettes, which is the third lowest in the nation, more than $1 below the national average and 46 cents below the average of the surrounding states. Rep. Jimmy Puckett, D-Amory, summed up the negotiations. When asked if he was going to watch the negotiations, which are open to the public, he said he was. "I like watching snails," he explained. Puckett might be a little hard on snails. During Thursday's opening meeting, there wasn't much negotiations. Neither side seemed willing to make the first offer. Finally, the House folks did, essentially offering as a compromise what passed their chamber earlier this year — an 82-cent increase to $1-per pack. The Senate rejected that offer, but offered nothing in return. For the record, the Senate passed a 31-cent increase to 49 cents per pack earlier this session. Eventually, the two sides are going to have to offer some legitimate compromise proposals. That is what negotiations is all about.

Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart Named Most Influential Man of 2010
Originally posted 10/27/2010 07:00AM
Today, the United States. This weekend, Washington, D.C.
In a poll of more than half a million readers, the online magazine AskMen.com has voted Jon Stewart the most influential man of 2010, it was announced Tuesday.
The distinction arrives only days ahead of this weekend's "Rally to Restore Sanity" being organized by the Daily Show host and his Comedy Central colleague, Stephen Colbert, in the nation's capital.
As for his influence, AskMen says, "Despite his innumerable enemies, Stewart's acerbic take on the madness around him continues to draw audiences who look to the funnyman as a voice of reason. Stewart's show was once dubbed the 'fake news,' but these days it's become our youths' most trusted source of information, and its host the most trusted man in America."
Jennifer Aniston & Jon Stewart Laugh About Their Awkward First Date

Before Pitt, Vaughn and Mayer, there was Stewart – Jon Stewart, that is.
When Jennifer Aniston visited The Daily Show Thursday night, the talk-show host reminded her that they'd shared a romantic Italian meal in New York City more than a decade ago. But their recollections of the evening were, to say the least, somewhat conflicting.
Michelle Obama Prefers Dick Van Dyke to Debates

Two debates down, one to go. And Michelle Obama would be just fine staying at home for that last one, thank you very much.
The wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama admitted Wednesday night that she generally doesn't like to attend her husband's debates. "I get nervous," she explained on the The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. "I'm fine with people calling me and saying he did a good job. And it's like, Good, I got to watch Dick Van Dyke."
Jon Stewart Calls Oscars 'An Exercise in Battle Stations'
Originally posted 02/20/2008 07:50PM
Likely to be in a tux when he assumes his emcee duties at Sunday night's Oscar ceremony, Jon Stewart was recently found unshaved and sporting army boots in the nether regions of Hollywood's Kodak Theatre – prepping for the job ahead.
"This is an exercise in battle stations," the Daily Show host, who just survived the three-month writers' strike, tells The New York Times about his upcoming weekend job. "In some ways it allows your mind to be in that fight-or-flight mode the whole time: 'Okay, we're mice being chased by a cat. Let's just do it.' "

Eva Longoria 'Shocked' at Her Hot Rating
Originally posted 05/11/2005 08:00AM
RANKED: Though it's often claimed that Teri Hatcher gets all the attention, Eva Longoria is the only star of Desperate Housewives to make Maxim magazine's new Hot 100 list – in fact, Longoria is No. 1. "It's kind of exciting and shocking all at the same time, because I was No. 91 last year," Longoria, 30, tells USA Today. "Considering all the women in the world, No. 91 isn't all that bad. But I didn't go to the party (last year), because I don't think anyone wants the 90s at the party." Modest about her status this year as well, Longoria tells that paper that she'd rank Angelina Jolie (whom the men's magazine ranked as No. 7) at the top of the list. "Angelina is the definition of sexy," Longoria says. "Everything about her is sexy – her empowerment, confidence, strength, beauty, character, her morals and what she stands for."

Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 F5 The Benefits of Owning an Automatic Pool CleanerIn the United States, it is estimated that millions of homes have a pool in their backyard. In fact, so many home owners have pools that there is a good chance that you have one in your own backyard too. If you do, how do you clean it? Many pool owners, clean their pools by hand, but there is a better way? That way involves the use of an automatic pool cleaner.There are an unlimited number of benefits to owning an automatic pool cleaner. However, to understand those benefits, you must first learn about automatic pool cleaners and how they operate. As with many other pool products, including pool accessories, you will find that automatic pool cleaners come in a wide variety of different makes and models. Despite the different styles, all automatic pool cleaners accomplish the same goal. That goal is to keep your pool clean and free of debris.When it comes to automatic pool cleaners, you will see that there are two main types of automatic cleaners. These cleaners are often referred to as a vacuum cleaner or a pressure cleaner. While both types of these automatic pool cleaners will help to keep your pool clean, they work in different ways. Before making a decision as to which type of automatic pool cleaner you would like to purchase, you are advised to quickly familiarize yourself with each.Automatic pressure cleaners often work in a way that is similar to a pressure washer. With these cleaners, high pressure water is used to stir, mix, and bring dirt and debris up from the bottom of the pool floor. Once this debris has been brought up to the surface of the water, it then can be removed through the pool's filter. Automatic vacuum cleaners work in a way that is similar to a traditional vacuum cleaner. Special hoses create suction that is used to lift dirt and debris up from the bottom of the pool. These hoses may then be connected to the pool's filtration system or a special bag can be used to collect the debris. The pool vacuums that tend to have their own filter bags are often known as robotic cleaning systems. This is due to the fact that they can operate without the assistance of a pool's filtration system.Regardless of which type of automatic pool cleaner you purchase, you will like be pleased with the results. This is because there are a number of benefits to using an automatic pool cleaner versus doing it yourself. Just one of the many benefits includes the amount of time you will save.If you are currently a pool owner and you manually clean your own pool, it is likely that you know that it can be a long and difficult process. In the amount of time that it may take you to manually clean your pool, there are probably a million other things that you can be doing. This means that you may be able to spend more time working, with your family, or better yet, you could spend more time swimming. In addition to saving yourself time, you may also be able to save yourself money by using an automatic pool cleaner. Many pool owners do not have enough time to manually clean their own pools. If you are one of those individuals then there is a chance that you may hire outside help. While having someone else clean your pool is a great way to avoid doing it yourself, the cost can quickly add up. For a reasonable price, an automatic pool cleaner can do the same job. In fact, you may find that, overtime, an automatic pool cleaner ends up paying for itself.Whether you are manually cleaning your own pool or hiring a professional, you are advised to at least consider purchasing an automatic pool cleaner. After you take the time to examine the pool cleaners that are available for purchase, you may start wondering why you waited so long to get one.

Enough of my babbling...
Once again I didn't see any mistakes. But I have to say yaou took a long time to update! I'm not sure how long exactly, but a long time it was.
Good luck with the next chapter!

- References
- Cited By
The phylogenetic status of the speciose euteleostean assemblage, the Acanthomorpha, is investigated. For the purposes of cladistic analysis attention is centred upon an examination of euteleostean buccal ligament systems, the occipital and ethmoid regions of the neurocranium, and the posttemporal/neurocranial association.
In this study four derived morphological features are identified which support the monophyly of the Acanthomorpha, and the previously 'problematical' genus Polymixia is determined to be the sistergroup of all the remaining acanthomorphs. The phylogenetic integrity of the sistergroup of the entire Acanthomorpha, the Myctophiformes (sensu Rosen, 1973), is attested by the presence of four derived features, and the monophyly of its major subdivisions (the Myctophidae and Neoscopelidae) is resolved.
Additional problems of euteleostean systematics and systematic methodology are discussed.

Three-phase supply to agriculture brought down to three hours from six; SME's concerned over load shedding
The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) has started resorting to load shedding again in the Tiruchi region covering eight central districts over the past few days.
Unscheduled power cuts are enforced in one-hour spells for three to four hours during the day for domestic consumers in the region over the past couple of days. Consumers in rural areas report unscheduled power cuts for one or two hours during the nights too. On Friday, consumers in Tiruchi city experienced power cuts during night.
Sources in Tangedco confirmed that three-hour load shedding is being enforced in urban areas during daytime and if necessary for one or two hours during nights in the rural areas. There has been sharp rise in demand given the searing start to the summer, the sources said.
The drop in wind power and breakdown in generation in some power stations were cited as the reasons. "This is only a temporary measure and we are trying to restrict load shedding as much as possible. The situation has already improved since Friday, and we hope it will ease further in the next few days," a Tangedco official said.
Expressing concern over the unscheduled power cuts right at the beginning of summer, M. Sekaran, president, Federation of Consumer and Service Organisations, Tiruchi, appealed to the government purchase power from other States to tide over the shortage during the summer.SMEs affected
The load shedding is applicable for small industries too, causing concern to the small and medium fabrication clusters in Tiruchi and Pudukottai. "We are facing up to four-hours of power cuts and supply is unpredictable. The power cut comes at a time when most units have just received orders from the BHEL. If unchecked, it could adversely impact on our operation. The government should address the problem immediately," said Rajappa Rajkumar, vice president, Tamil Nadu Small and Tiny Industries Association.
Tangedco sources indicated that three-phase supply to agricultural connections has been brought down to six hours – three hours each during the day and night. This has been possible because the agriculture season has almost come to an end in the delta region.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and German Chancellor Merkel 370.
(photo credit:GPO / Amos Ben-Gershom)
BERLIN - Chancellor Angela Merkel arrived in Israel on Monday with her full cabinet as part of the German-Israel government consultation meetings. Her second term (2009-2013) filled the "special relationship" with a mixed bag of bitter disappointments and encouraging security commitments for Israel. If past is prologue, Merkel's third term will lead to her to impose the same policy of sticks and carrots on Israel.Merkel famously declared in her 2008 Knesset speech that Israel's security interests are integral to those of Germany. In short, she said Israel's security is "non-negotiable" for her administration. German commentators write obsessively about the semantic interpretation of Merkel's assurance that Israel is part of her country's raison d'être.Israel expects a marriage made in preserving its security. What animates Israel is transforming Merkel's lofty rhetoric into actions. After all, security is a fighting word for Israel because of its jingoistic enemies in the Middle East.From Israel's perspective, Merkel engaged in a kind of "War of the Roses" marital dispute in the diplomatic realm. Her government abstained during the UN vote to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization as a non-observer member state. In sharp contrast, Canada and the Czech Republic--countries that do not invoke the raison d'être language of Germany --rejected the PLO bid.Her government has shown no resistance to labeling products from the disputed West Bank and Golan territories. Merkel did not contest the EU policy to outlaw funds for Israeli academic institutions beyond the Green Line.Jerusalem Post diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon broke the story last year that the Federal Republic stymied Israel's efforts to secure a seat on the UN Security Council, because Germany wanted the post. The spat triggered scores of articles. An Israeli official said at the time, "There is not the same kind of attention and sensitivity to Israel's battle for international legitimacy" from Germany's government.All of this helps to explain why Der Spiegel titled its article last week "Tensions flare in German-Israeli relations." The Der Spiegel article underscored the tight-lipped Israeli-German relationship: only anonymous sources were quoted. For example, Israeli government sources said the "special relationship" means that Germany allies itself with Israel in moments of doubt.Put simply, think of the administration of Canada's Stephen Harper and his pro-Israel policies. Whereas Canada declined to publicly chastise Israel's settlement policies, Merkel's government has worked to rebuke Israel in its official discourse and at the UN.According to Der Spiegel, an unnamed source in Merkel's Chancellery said, "It is precisely because we are committed to the future of Israel as a Jewish state that we will remain so firm on this point."But for Israel this is the flip side of the dangers of the special relationship, where Germany serves as a schoolmaster about to crack the whip when Israel allegedly transgresses. In other words, to paraphrase writer Wolfgang Pohrt, Germany's hubris culminates in Germans acting as Israel's probation officers to prevent "their victims" from relapsing.It is a cynical view, but it captures the actions of many German politicians who invoke working through the history of the Holocaust to show--in obnoxiously didactic terms -- what Israelis ought to do in the conflict with the Palestinians.Putting aside the marital friction, Merkel has continued the delivery of second-strike nuclear-capable submarines to Israel. The highly sophisticated submarines are vital for Israel's defense. She has gone to great lengths to defend Israel's right to counterstrike in Operation Cast Lead and Operation Pillar of Defense. Intelligence sharing is at all time high between the two governments.Public and media discourse remain highly critical of Israel. With few exceptions, such as the pro-Israel deputy from Merkel's Christian Democratic Union Party, Philipp Missfelder, there are scarcely any German deputies who aim to counter the anti-Israel mood. Missfelder called for a full ban of Hezbollah as a terrorist entity. Merkel's administration considers only Hezbollah's military wing to be a terrorist organization.Sacha Stawski, the head of the organization "I like Israel" in Germany, told The Jerusalem Post that "German-Israel relations are multifold. Clearly the message Chancellor Merkel is sending by taking her entire cabinet to Israel is that these two democracies have things in common on all levels of the legislature, far beyond just the slogans the public is being fed in the mainstream media day in day out. Business, science, technology, environment, education culture, etc.--much more than just politics."However, he added, "Merkel's coalition partner, the Social Democrats, have in recent years made headlines a number of times by associating themselves with the Fatah organization and speaking of 'common goals.' A number of Bundestag resolutions highly critical of Israel passed the Bundestag."The tone against Israel in the media has also become raw over the last few years. Writing last week in large daily Die Welt, a paper considered to be sympathetic to Israel, Jacques Schuster termed Israel's behavior in the settlements to be "criminal."Prominent media lawyer Nathan Gelbart, a veteran observer of German-Israel relations and the head of Keren Hayesod in Germany, told the Post that Schuster's comment "reached a journalistic low-point." Gelbart said Schuster's anti-Israel language is shocking because it contradicts the pro-Israel philosophy of the late Dr. Axel Springer, the founder of the Springer publishing house that prints Die Welt. He added that Schuster's view is voiced by extremist left-wing anti-Zionist newspapers such as Junge Welt.The German-Israeli "special relationship" is still in its infancy and growing pains will continue. Merkel is a skilled politician and has internalized many of Israel's core security needs. There is no sign of a divorce.Benjamin Weinthal reports on Europe for The Jerusalem Post and is a fellow of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Sometimes we get lost in the dark and don't know which direction to go. So long as we keep moving though we will eventually find our direction and darkness will give way to light. We will know the path to choose that leads us into the light and end up where we are supposed to be. While the scientific name for this phenomena captured on the Chesapeake Bay Basin is crepuscular rays I find it the perfect metaphor for life as days of stormy weather simply stopped and the skies opened up revealing the direction to strive towards.
A little about me: I was raised a military brat and lived all around the US growing up. I went to Auburn University then joined the Air Force upon graduation. In the Air Force I flew B-1B bombers, T-37 and T-38 trainers and KC-135s. I retired from the Air National Guard after 21 years of service. I was also an airline pilot for Midwest Airlines where I flew DC-9s, MD-80s and Boing 717s. All of Midwest�s flight-crews were outsourced in 2008 and now I make my living selling art and various other jobs in the Florida Panhandle. A little about art: Like many photographers I received my first camera as a gift at some ridiculously young age. Like many I am passionate about it to the point of obsession. I have been shooting film for 20...
