VIDEO/PHOTOS: Miller's Ale House shut down after drug busts
Popular Gulf Coast Town Center sports bar raided by state ABT and Lee County Sheriff's Office
FORT MYERS - As a crowd of deputies and state agents casually approached Miller's Ale House at Gulf Coast Town Center on Thursday afternoon, the patrons inside began to take notice, one by one.
Something wasn't right.
Minutes later, they were being ushered out the door, with the knowledge of a criminal investigation and that the day's check was free.
For Lee County sheriff's deputies, the raid was the final stroke of a months-long investigation into drug trafficking that spilled beyond the popular sports bar and concluded with a plan to arrest 19 people, four of whom worked at Ale House. It was there, investigators said, that the startlingly "blatant" sale and trafficking of cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs kick-started the investigation.
"They would do it right at the table, right at the bar," said Capt. Domenick Ferrante, commander of special operations for the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
On Thursday, Ferrante merely watched as the scene unfolded. The afternoon raid belonged more to the state Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco agency, which worked with the Sheriff's Office and was now pulling the restaurant's alcohol license and questioning employees.
The real action occurred that morning, when deputies rounded up 13 of the 19 suspects they identified as drug traffickers. Six others were still being sought or had charges pending as of press time. Four of the suspects were identified as employees at Ale House. All face felony charges relating to drug possession, sale and trafficking. Officers with the ABT agency would decide how much management knew about the alleged drug sells, authorities said.
The investigation, called "Operation Winter Ale" by deputies, began with complaints from Ale House patrons, Ferrante said. Undercover deputies started making buys in September.
The "blatancy" of the dealing was startling, Ferrante said. Suspects placed baggies directly on the table or on the bar, within full view of families at nearby tables. Indeed, according to one arrest report, an undercover detective placed $80 on a bar stool for 20-year-old suspect Angela Dell Green. She, in turn, dropped a 1.1 gram baggie of cocaine on the bar, the report said. The undercover officer took the bag, finished his meal and left the restaurant, he wrote.
Green, 1021 Halby Avenue, Lehigh Acres, was charged with possession and sale of Roxicodone and cocaine.
Other implicated Ale House employees include Heather Griffith, 21, of Fort Myers, accused of possessing and selling marijuana and methodone; Austin Charbonneau, 20, no address listed, charged with possession and sale of Xanax and Roxicodone; and Nathaniel Tu Ray, 29, 3910 Central Ave., Fort Myers, charged with possession and sale of marijuana.
Charbonneau and Ray both met with undercover deputies at one of the restaurant's bars before making the exchange in the men's bathroom. Griffith has yet to be arrested.
Ferrante said there was little structure to the dealing.
"They're just a bunch of employees selling independently of one another," he said.
But each separate investigation of Ale House employees branched out — giving deputies other dealers and dealers of dealers, he explained.
Gulf Coast Town Center appeared to be a focus. One suspect sold behind the restaurant R.J. Gator's, according to detectives, and another sold near the Target.
Other deals were made at apartment complexes, and a couple occurred at the main bar at Ware House Billiards in Bonita Springs, according to an arrest report. One arrest was made when a roommate of one of the suspects told deputies he had marijuana in the house. The officers called it a "bonus" arrest.
Sabrina Maxwell, the Fort Myers district commander for the state division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco said her agents were present when the undercover buys at Miller's Ale House occurred. Thursday's raid effected an emergency order of suspension for the alcohol license, she said, due fully to the drug sells.
The owners received the formal complaint, she said, and they'll have 21 days to go before a judge to get the license back.
Miller's Ale House is a popular hangout for Florida Gulf Coast University students. The company's Web site describes it as a successful casual-dining restaurant chain that "attracts customers from all walks of life." There are 38 locations including one in Naples and another in Fort Myers. The corporate office in Jupiter was closed for the day when contacted for a comment.
No raids took place at R.J. Gator's or Ware House Billiards.
On Thursday, as deputies explained the arrests to press members in the parking lot of LA Fitness, they set up a black poster board pasted with suspect photos. Ale House employees slowly drifted over to see who had been charged.
"What do you want, ladies?" Ferrante asked two women.
"Just looking," they said.
"You know any of these guys?" he said.
"Not well," they said.
Jerome McGee, 43, an Ale House cook, said the bust caught him and everyone else "totally off guard." He said he's never seen any drug dealing in the year he's worked there. After the raid, deputies gathered the employees, explained what had happened and asked if anyone knew anything, he said.
"For someone to say it's going on out in the open is shocking," he said.
Anthony Petruccelli, 40, a bartender, juggled confusion and anger. He was at home when he received calls from a waitress and two fellow bartenders.
"They were freaking out," he said.
He came to the restaurant and looked at the posterboard.
"These four people have taken money out of our pockets," he said.
More than an hour after the raid, the number of employees hanging out in front of the restaurant had grown. They were arriving from home to learn what happened, to see it first hand. They were trying to figure out what the status of the restaurant was and what they'd do next. McGee wondered if he needed to apply for another job; Petruccelli would have to postpone child support payments, he said.
The restaurant will be allowed to reopen in the next few days, Maxwell said, but it can't serve alcohol.
The other individuals arrested on various drug charges are: Christopher Robert Smith, 24, 17288 Phlox Drive, Fort Myers; Brandon Berry Byrd, 24, 8146 Cypress Drive S., Fort Myers; Jordan Stanley Henderson, 27, 9080 Murcott Drive W., Fort Myers; Kevin Santiago, 17, 9156 Cypress Drive N., Fort Myers; William Fox, 20, 17121 College Club Loop, No. 315, Fort Myers; Giovani Luis Acosta, 26, 9163 Seville Road, Fort Myers; Russell James Borchers, 30, 26911 Nicki-J Court, Bonita Springs; Michael Andrew Kuznezow, 34, 17199 Plantation Drive, Fort Myers; Jose Rodriguez, 31, 28160 Pine Haven Way, No. 39, Bonita Springs; and Carl F. Schaff, 19, 17121 College Club Loop, No. 315, Fort Myers.
The other five individuals still being sought by authorities are: Christopher Bliss, 21, of Fort Myers; Lacy Ann Griffith, 19, of Fort Myers; Christopher Kamezato, 23, of Fort Myers; Lawrence Myers, 22, no address listed; and Arlene Romero, no address listed.

Aims To evaluate the potential pharmacokinetic interaction between the HIV protease inhibitor saquinavir and rifabutin.
Methods Fourteen HIV-infected patients provided full steady-state pharmacokinetic profiles following administration of rifabutin alone (300 mg once daily) or saquinavir soft-gel formulation (1200 mg three times daily) plus rifabutin (300 mg once daily) in this open label, partially randomized study.
Results Coadministration of saquinavir and rifabutin resulted in a reduction in saquinavir AUC(0,8 h) and Cmax(0,8 h) of 47% (95% CI 30, 60%) and 39% (95% CI 11, 59%), respectively. Rifabutin AUC(0,24 h) and Cmax(0,24 h) was increased by an average of 44% (95% CI 17, 78%) and 45% (95% CI 14, 85%), respectively. Saquinavir in combination with rifabutin was well tolerated. Gastrointestinal intolerance and asymptomatic increases in liver enzymes were the only adverse events of note.
Conclusions Administration of rifabutin with saquinavir may decrease the efficacy of this HIV protease inhibitor.

So I know this game came out a while ago but I picked it up during the sales and just got around to it. As I started picking my team I noticed they had an option to import your own pics to use as the player icons, so with there being 4 character slots I thought who better to use than Giantbombs own O.Gs!! Found the images from this awesome thread, cropped them to the sized specified and boom the game became 775 million times more awesome by changing it from the generic characters. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this but I haven't seen anything here so figured I'd share and maybe get some people to try it out! Here's a couple quick screen cap I took.
Oh and completly unitentionally but Brad was the first to die... Oops.

Looking for 'variable' Diverter Valve
at56krJune 18, 2012
I have a new construction situation.
Will have a large tub (140 gal.) with a filler spout as well as a handheld spray.
Looking for a "variable" diverter valve.� By variable, I mean that this valve would divert water completely to the spout when fully CC and gradually divert water to the handheld as rotated CCW.
If this valve were at the midway point, water would come out of both the spout and the hand-held sprayer.
Most of the fixtures are Hansgrohe contemporary style's.
(Not married to Hansgrohe.)
Specific valve recommendations are appreciated, but I'll take what help I can get.

Best Japanese vegetable seeds
I'd like to know where can I buy best Japanese vegetable seeds?
I know Sakata seed company in Japan but I live in U.S.A and Sakata seed company doesn't send seed to people who live in America.
I only interested to buy seed from Japan.
If you are willing to acept Japanese varieties which have been grown in the U.S. then try http://www.kitazawaseed.com/index.html
or try http://www.evergreenseeds.com
They are not produced in Japan, but I didn't find most of what they offer anywhere else.
Sakata Seed is a big wholesale company now, I think. And the two companies above are likely to get seed from them, and from other wholesale sources. I don't believe all the seed the companies above sell is grown in the U.S.
I have been happy with the service from Evergreen Seeds. Try the Extra Summer Sweet melon.
I will second the recommendation for Kitazawa, they carry good seed & are expanding their selection.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed carries quite a large selection of Asian vegetables as well, including several Japanese squash.
If you are searching for edamame soybeans, I have quite a few Japanese cultivars (including "Tengamine" and "Sapporo Midori" from Sakata). Additionally, I have seed for cucumbers, bitter melon, and peppers from Japan. Contact me through my Member Page if interested.

At some point in the near future, Rangers manager Ron Washington likely will be faced with a welcome conundrum. With Elvis Andrus, Adrian Beltre and Ian Kinsler penciled in around the infield, where is Jurickson Profar going to play?
On Tuesday, the Rangers bought Washington extra time to ponder that dilemma by sending MLB.com's top overall prospect to Triple-A Round Rock to begin the season.
The Rangers also announced that right-hander Nick Tepesch -- the team's No. 18 prospect -- will open the year as their No. 5 starter and No. 19 prospect Leury Garcia earned a spot on the Opening Day roster as a utility infielder, the spot for which Profar was vying.
Garcia, a switch-hitter who can play both middle infield spots and the outfield, impressed the Rangers during camp with his ability and flexibility. His speed figures to make him a valuable bench piece -- he stole 31 bases with Double-A Frisco last season. The move also allows Profar to play every day with Round Rock after the 20-year-old shortstop batted .244 with just two extra-base hits in 21 Cactus League games.
"We like both guys a lot," general manager Jon Daniels told MLB.com. "Both guys are very versatile -- two switch-hitting guys who both play up the middle. We just thought for where they are, Leury brings a speed element off the bench and he brings an outfield element. He just has a unique skill set."
Tepesch made three spring starts for the Rangers. He surrendered eight earned runs over five innings against Colorado on March 22, but the University of Missouri product has been otherwise solid in 18 spring innings.
"It was a mix of everything," Daniels said of the decision to put Tepesch in the rotation. "Nick has impressed. We knew he was a strike-thrower and had a four-pitch mix, but we were really impressed with the way he handled situations and the way he handled adversity. He didn't change. He earned it."
Puig headed to Chattanooga
If ever a player had a Spring Training worthy of a promotion from the lower Minor Leagues to the Majors, it was the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig.
Unfortunately, a .526 Cactus League batting average wasn't enough for the 22-year-old Cuban outfielder to force his way onto the Opening Day roster as the Dodgers optioned him to Double-A Chattanooga Tuesday.
Puig has drawn effusive praise after Los Angeles' top prospect dominated the Cactus League with a 1.351 OPS over 26 games.
"It's kind of getting goofy," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com over the weekend about Puig's Spring performance. "It's almost like a big kid playing Little League."

When one talks of pipelines in recent days one hears nearly an incessant buzz about Keystone XL, as if that is where the real action is. But it isn't, notwithstanding the histrionics over President Obama's veto of S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act. The real action lies not with an 850,000 barrel per day oil pipeline, but instead with the natural gas pipelines that are needed to supply the natural gas electricity generating plants that will be required to replace, in part, 103 gigawatts of coal powered generation.
What are we talking about? Building Block 2 of EPA's Clean Power Plan posits the replacement of coal-fired generation with cleaner natural gas-fired plants. Natural gas plants are also part of the solution to compliance with the strict Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which are also driving coal plants off the grid.
But to get and keep those natural gas plants on-line, the natural gas needs to get there and to do that it needs a means of transportation, which for natural gas, means pipelines.
How many miles of pipelines are needed? EPA concluded: "the power industry in aggregate can support higher gas consumption without the need for any major investments in pipeline infrastructure." But the Nation's reliability watchdog, the North American Reliability Corporation, politely disagrees. In its November 2014 review, Potential Reliability Impacts of EPA's Clean Power Plan, NERC noted EPA's position, but then commented:
"there are a few critical areas that likely will need additional capital investments. As an example, current and planned pipeline infrastructures in Arizona and Nevada are inadequate for handling increased natural gas demand due to the CPP. Pipeline capacity in New England is currently constrained, and more pipeline capacity additions will be needed as more baseload coal units retire."
And that was not the end of it. NERC concluded that more pipeline capacity was needed independent of Clean Power Plan retirements.
Further, as should be obvious, pipeline construction will not occur in an instant. NERC points out that "it takes three to five years to plan, permit, sign contract capacity, finance, and build additional pipeline capacity." In other words, planning and permitting of new pipelines is required now if the EPA's initial 2020 compliance date is to be met. But as we reported in a recent post, States aren't even drafting their implementation plans, much less making determinations about what plants to shut down and where pipelines need to be built.Which suggests that we should ask the miles-of-pipeline-needed question again. We have not seen that number but NERC reports that, based on EPA's own estimates for plant retirements due to the Clean Power Plan and other regulatory requirements (primarily the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard), "the power industry will need to replace a total of 103 GW of retired coal resources by 2020, largely anticipated to be natural-gas-fired NGCC and CTs.
We tried to compare 103 gigawatts to Keystone XL's 850,000 barrels of oil per day. We came up with a rather stunning number: the energy needed to replace the to-be-retired coal plants is almost 2000 times more than Keystone XL can deliver.*
Which leads us back to the beginning of this post: the real action in pipeline permitting is going to be in natural gas.
*A barrel of oil contains about 1700 kW-h of energy. So Keystone XL will deliver 850,000 bbl x 1700 kW-h or 1.445 x 10e9 W-h in one day. 103 GW of coal plants operating for 24 hours yields 2472 x 10e9 W-h.

Because I had a seat inside the meeting room at FERC's Clean Power Plan Overview last Thursday, I got a close-up view of the protesters. Most were older (as opposed to the college-student variety), they carried signs, wore matching red t-shirts and, after the first panel concluded, began to chant, "gas is dirty." Though none of them explained what they meant, and the speakers so far had not focused on Building Block 2 (shifting dispatch from coal to natural gas combined-cycle generators), most of the rest of the crowd understood that they were protesting the Clean Power Plan (CPP) reliance on natural gas-fired power plants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Given that the temperature outside was in the single digits, I wanted to ask the group if they knew how the building was heated sufficient for them to wear only t-shirts, but that would have meant risking my seat, so I demurred.
The red shirts would have been pleased to hear, later in the day, that the US Department of Energy (DOE) recently completed a study titled "Natural Gas Infrastructure Implications of Increased Demand from the Electric Power Sector," which found that compliance with the CPP would not require much additional spending for natural gas pipelines. Commissioner LaFleur "questioned [the study's] conclusions," including that increased demand for gas can be satisfied by better or more strategic utilization of existing pipeline capacity. Commissioner Clark was more blunt, pointing out that DOE gives the "false impression" that siting of pipelines will be easier than experience – particularly in the northeast – has proven it to be.
As if to prove him prescient, last night, FERC staff held a scoping meeting for the PennEast pipeline project, proposed to traverse six, mainly suburban and rural, counties over a 114-mile route in northeast Pennsylvania and west-central New Jersey. Hundreds turned out at the Ewing, New Jersey hearing (the first in New Jersey); most strongly opposed the pipeline; and many spoke in favor of the "no build" alternative. The director of the New Jersey chapter of the Sierra Club, compared the natural gas companies to the British and Hessian invaders who tried "to take our land" in the 1700s (though some might argue that the land more precisely belonged to the British at that point). "This pipeline turns 50 years of public policy and change on its head," he continued.
Supporters of the pipeline included union members (who need jobs) and the gas companies. Though they spoke of the increased reliability of supply for their customers, some of which are power plants, they did not discuss the significant CPP compliance obligations of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and the role that natural gas-fired generation will likely play in meeting those obligations.
Which brings us back to the meeting room at FERC. Toward the end of the afternoon, an Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) representative conceded that not all environmental policies align. Nuclear is carbon free, but it is nuclear. Wind and solar are expensive, intermittent, take up lots of space, and interfere with (even kill) birds and bats. The best wind resources are far from load and transmission lines are unsightly and may traverse protected areas. Natural gas plants are cleaner than coal and oil, but the gas has to be brought to the surface and transported, whether by pipeline or tanker truck or train. And, as the red shirts made clear, some think gas too is dirty. To meet the CPP goals in 2030, some policies will have to give.

The President gave an indication of his environmental focus in his inaugural address, and then again in his state of the union speech. The focus would be on climate change.
Central to that focus would be the EPA Adminstrator, but that would not be Lisa Jackson who tendered her resignation at the end of 2012. If Washington gossip is any guide, Ms. Jackson's replacement will be Gina McCarthy, the current head of EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.
We went looking to see if we could draw a bead on where Ms. McCarthy might lead EPA. We found a recent speech and it was directly on point. On February 21, Ms. McCarthy addressed an audience at the Georgetown Law Center at a conference on Climate Change and Energy Policy. (The conference was videotaped. Ms. McCarthy has the podium from about 4:50 to 5:30 if you are interested.)
Ms. McCarthy has a reputation of being something of a pragmatist. Her talk was consistent with that. A brief summary might be: Climate change is here and we have to deal with it, but in addressing carbon dioxide there can be great benefits from doing so in the form of reducing pollution, increasing efficiency and empowering communities.
Pollution reductions will come in at least three forms. First, if more renewable energy sources are developed, there will be less emissions. Second, if production and use is made more efficient there will be less emissions. Third, if production is focused on fossil fuels that emit less pollutants when burned (that is, not coal), there will be less emissions. We note that this strategy is already at work. The growth of wind and solar power has been meteoric. Ms. McCarthy promoted electric cars, which are far more efficient than gasoline-powered ones (although she ignored compressed natural gas vehicles, which are low emission and have some compelling advantages over electric cars). And we have covered before the catastrophe for coal signaled by the proposed Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for New Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units, which forecasts not a single new coal plant through 2030.
Significantly, or perhaps not, she did not mention fracking and the phenomenal recent growth in natural gas production. That was surprising. A recent Harvard Magazine article summarized the pollution and greenhouse gas effects of the natural gas bonanza:
The shift from coal to gas in the electricity sector has also yielded an environmental bonus—a significant reduction in emissions of CO2, because CO2 emissions per unit of electricity generated using coal are more than double those produced using gas. … [T]he U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that domestic emissions of CO2 during the first quarter of 2012 fell to the lowest level recorded since 1992. An ancillary benefit of the coal-to-gas switch has been a significant reduction in emissions of sulfur dioxide, the cause of acid rain, because many of the older coal-burning plants selectively idled by the price-induced fuel switch were not equipped to remove this pollutant from their stack gases.
Efficiency pervaded her remarks. A striking number is the $1.7 trillion she stated automobile fuel efficiency standards had saved consumers at the pump. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. EPA will help Americans make buildings, processes and communities more efficient. According to Ms. McCarthy the EPA Climate Showcase Communities saved $19 million per year based in large part on efficiency.
We are somewhat troubled by the "eye of the beholder" syndrome exhibited here. Certainly consumers saved money at the pump. But they spent more at the car dealer. How did they fare overall? The answer depends on how long they owned their car and the price of gas. According to research in 2012 by TrueCar.com for the New York Times, at $4/gallon "[e]xcept for two hybrids, the Prius and Lincoln MKZ, and the diesel-powered Volkswagen Jetta TDI, the added cost of the fuel-efficient technologies is so high that it would take the average driver many years — in some cases more than a decade — to save money over comparable new models with conventional internal-combustion engines."
Ms. McCarthy's vision of empowerment is through information. If building owners get the knowledge of how to make their buildings more efficient, they will because it makes sense to do so. If communities are provided the relevant information, they will make enabling smart choices. Indeed, she closed on the importance of information, referencing three sources. First, EPA has now been collecting information on greenhouse gas emissions for two years. That information is publicly available. People should look at this because it identifies the sources of the climate change problem. Electric utilities are far and away the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases (which is to say, all of us are because, with rare exceptions, all of us use electricity generated with fossil fuels).
Second, she touted the EPA's 2012 report, Climate Change Indicators in the United States (18MB). This is a valuable resource. Twenty-six "indicators" are assessed as to what they show about a world beset by climate change. All are familiar with reduced ice sheets, reduced snowpack and higher average temperatures. Less familiar is the documented increase in ragweed pollen season and retained ocean heat. And the report is honest about what is not known. Although 7000 Americans were reported to have died of heat-related illnesses in the last 30 years, trends have not been determined. Although one might think that a hotter world would lead to more hurricanes, the data have not proven that yet.
Last, Ms. McCarthy praised government research into adaptation and the various reports issued and to be issued.
Some view agency heads in Washington as essentially valueless; talking heads, here today and gone tomorrow. The bureaucracy was there when the new head arrived and will be there when the now old head leaves. What this view misses is that the agency head can muster the agency's resources in support of one initiative, argue for it on Capitol Hill, at the White House and in the press, and give the extra boost when the going gets rough. Gina McCarthy was instrumental in building the northeast's cap-and-trade program (the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) in her native Connecticut. Certainly, that idea on a national basis is percolating again.

Wow! Whether one likes the president or not, one must concede he's not afraid of leading. Just a little over seven months from the election he has drawn a line in the sand and proposed a rule that may fundamentally alter America's energy mix and takes a big step toward addressing carbon dioxide emissions. Or it does nothing at all. We are talking of course of Tuesday's announcement of new source performance standards for electricity plants. In EPA's words:
The EPA is proposing standards of performance that require that all new fossil fuel-fired EGUs meet an electricity-output-based emission rate of 1,000 lbCO2/MWh of electricity generated on a gross basis. This proposed standard is based on the demonstrated performance of natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) units, which are currently in wide use throughout the country, and are likely to be the predominant fossil fuel-fired technology for new generation in the future. EPA, Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for New Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units (proposed rule) at 13 (Mar. 27, 2012) .
So natural gas is in. And what about the other fossil fuels? New plants using coal or oil and even IGCC (integrated gas combined cycle) can be built but EPA expects that they will need to use carbon capture and storage (CCS) to meet the standards. Id.
What brought about this groundbreaking new rule? We set forth the legal foundation in a companion post. Suffice to say here that EPA has moved a long way from the days before Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007), when greenhouse gases were not Clean Air Act "pollutants." But the non-regulatory drivers were perhaps even more significant. All are aware of "fracking". The use of horizontal drilling with hydraulic fracturing in shales a mile beneath the surface has unleashed a torrent of natural gas. As Forbes reports this month natural gas prices are half of what they were just a few years ago. And the glut is not seen to be abating. EPA has seized on this surfeit: "technological developments and discoveries of abundant natural gas reserves have caused natural gas prices to decline precipitously in recent years and have secured those relatively low prices for the near-future." Proposed Rule at 15. As a result, "energy industry modeling forecasts uniformly predict that few, if any, new coal-fired power plants will be built in the foreseeable future." Id.
In other words, the proposed regulation will have hardly any effect (even none) on coal-fired generation because no one was going to build those plants anyway. "Our IPM modeling, using Energy Information Administration (EIA) reference case assumptions, projects that there will be no construction of new coal-fired generation without CCS by 2030. Under these assumptions, the proposed rule will not impose costs by 2030." Id. at 17.
We have read the commentary that this is the death of coal. The cost of capturing and storing carbon dioxide, which will be the only way for a new coal plant to meet the new standard, is prohibitive. Accordingly, no coal plants will be built. According to EPA, however, coal-fired production was dead anyway because of the glut of natural gas.
Crystal balls are notoriously unreliable. Some may remember that nuclear power was to make electricity too cheap to meter. But that didn't happen. America built the largest man-made construction the world has ever seen (the interstate highway system) on the assumption that gasoline would always be abundant. That was in error. An oil embargo introduced Americans to long lines at the fuel pump and locking gas caps. Most forget that natural gas production peaked in the early 1970s, not to be exceeded again until over twenty years had passed. The point is: smart people took their best science and made plans. But reality somehow did not get the message.
For what it is worth, here is our crystal ball on the demise of coal. First, CCS technology is pertinent not only to coal. Combustion of natural gas emits carbon dioxide as well. The regulatory imperative will push natural gas plants to address their CO2, and coal will be able to take advantage of improvements in CCS technology. Second, the United States has been called the Saudi Arabia of coal. To expect that industry to dry up and blow away is naïve. Shale gas went from a vanishingly small fraction of the US energy mix to over 20% in five years or less. Innovation made this possible. Just as ten years ago we could not imagine today's natural gas industry, we may not be able to recognize our coal resource in another ten years. Third, we thought it was fundamental that energy security depends on a mix of energy sources. It would be foolhardy to rely completely on natural gas. It will only take one cold winter and a natural gas pipeline calamity to make coal seem like a sensible alternative.
Whether the proposed rule will actually have an impact depends on numerous factors. All can agree, however, that climate change has been thrust back on the national agenda.
Carbon Dioxide | Carbon Emissions | Greenhouse Gases | Regulation
The business case for the development of renewable energy projects, from biodiesel and ethanol to wind, solar, and distributed generation, is more compelling than ever as tax and regulatory incentives combine to attract investments. Emerging issues in environmental law and increasingly recognized principles of corporate social responsibility are encouraging public companies to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions, install clean energy alternatives, and invest overseas in projects under the Kyoto Protocol to respond to climate change concerns.

History & Facts
Sierra Nevada College opened its doors in the fall of 1969 with 23 students. Among the goals of the founders was incorporation of the unique environmental qualities and characteristics of the Lake Tahoe region into the academic programs at SNC. Decades later, fidelity to this goal is still reflected in the SNC academic mission and core curriculum, which emphasize the importance of environmental, social, economic, and educational sustainability.
Within four years of its founding, SNC had achieved candidate status for accreditation with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), and accreditation was granted in 1976. SNC experienced substantial growth in academic programs during the '70s, adding the departments of Fine Arts and Management (now Business). This expansion of academic offerings continued with the addition of the Teacher Education Program in the late '80s and culminated in the creation of the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program in 2005 and the Master of Education (M.Ed.) in advanced teaching and leadership programs in 2008. SNC currently enrolls close to 500 undergraduate students; approximately 800 graduate students are enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Education programs, and an even greater number of graduate students are enrolled in various specialty programs designed and offered in cooperation with local school districts. Students come to SNC from throughout the United States and several countries.
As SNC grew, three new buildings were added to the historic Mountain Campus: Ralston Hall, David Hall, and the MacLean Library. In 1991, the Lake Campus was acquired through private and foundation donations and, for many years, classes and activities took place at both the Mountain and the Lake locations. Sensing that SNC students and faculty needed to occupy a single campus where continued expansion was possible, the leadership at SNC decided to sell the Mountain Campus and relocate all activities, classes, and programs to the new Lake location by the start of the 2006-2007 academic year.
The move to the Lake Campus went hand-in-hand with the opening of several new, carefully designed buildings intended to facilitate student learning in this new location. The Prim Library and Learning Resource Center was opened in 2004 to provide students with an open, beautiful, and well-equipped space to study, research, and access academic services. The Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences, the product of a historic partnership between SNC, the University of California, Davis, and the Desert Research Institute, opened in August 2006. The Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences is a cutting-edge, "green" building that allows SNC students to engage in scientific pursuits w ithin the walls of a LEED-certified, Platinum-rated laboratory building, the first building in Nevada to earn this recognition. In addition to these new physical structures, new technology was added to allow students to wirelessly connect to the Internet from all classrooms and public study spaces.
As the expansion of the Lake Campus proceeded, satellite locations offering graduate-level classes were established to help address the growing statewide need for high-quality teacher education programs in Nevada. As a result of this expansion, SNC Teacher Education students can now attend classes in Incline Village, Reno, and Henderson, Nevada.
Sierra Nevada College has only just begun—this young, proud, and growing institution is destined to take its place among the best small liberal arts colleges in the country. It's been a college that has always been characterized by its outstanding faculty and dedicated staff. Whatever the exciting possibilities the future holds for the college, one thing will remain the same: Sierra Nevada College will always stay true to its core mission as a liberal arts college. It's simply in the DNA of the place.

"Final Vote" balloting now open for 2012 All-Star Game
Jul 1, 2012, 3:35 PM EDT
Major League Baseball revealed its 2012 All-Star rosters Sunday on TBS. But not everything is set for next Tuesday night's game in Kansas City.
Over the next week, online ballots can be cast to send one additional player from each league to participate in this year's Midsummer Classic.
MLB calls it the "Final Vote," and it's now open.
Your options are:
Jonathan Broxton, RP, Royals
The 28-year-old right-hander has rebuilt his brand this season in Kansas City, currently boasting a 2.05 ERA and 20 saves in 30 2/3 innings as the Royals' ninth-inning man. Broxton would join teammate Billy Butler as the only two hometown representatives at Kauffman Stadium.
Yu Darvish, SP, Rangers
The Japanese right-hander told reporters last week that he didn't feel deserving of an All-Star nod, but he might get one anyway. Darvish has posted a stellar 3.57 ERA and 10.0 K/9 through the first 95 2/3 innings of his major league career. The Rangers spent over $110 million on him this past winter.
Ernesto Frieri, RP, Angels
Frieri has surrendered zero runs and just six hits in 23 1/3 innings out of the Angels' bullpen since being acquired from the Padres in early May. He has solidified Anaheim's ninth-inning role.
Jason Hammel, SP, Orioes
Hammel carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning earlier this season against the Twins and has a 3.29 ERA through 15 starts (93 innings) for second-place Baltimore. The 29-year-old starter would join O's catcher Matt Wieters and outfielder Adam Jones out in western Missouri. Jim Johnson also got the nod.
Jake Peavy, SP, White Sox
The 31-year-old right-hander is back to his old tricks, with a 2.96 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 101/24 K/BB ratio through 112 2/3 innings this season. The American League Central-leading White Sox already have left-handed starter Chris Sale, first baseman Paul Konerko and designated hitter Adam Dunn ticketed for Kansas City. Peavy is also plenty deserving.
Michael Bourn, OF, Braves
Bourn is having the best offensive year of his career, already featuring a career-high seven home runs, a solid .307/.355/.442 batting line, 22 stolen bases and 52 runs scored through 77 games. The 29-year-old center fielder has been to one All-Star Game, in 2010 as a member of the Astros.
David Freese, 3B, Cardinals
Freese burst onto the scene last October with his record 21 postseason RBI and has followed that up with a decent first half. The third baseman entered play Sunday with 13 home runs, 48 RBI and an .812 OPS.
Bryce Harper, OF, Nationals
The American League has a 20-year-old on its roster (Angels outfielder Mike Trout). Will the National League get Harper, who's only 19? The former No. 1 overall pick has already become a major-league sensation just 56 games into his career and is backing up the hype with impact play all around the diamond.
Aaron Hill, 2B, Diamondbacks
Hill has already hit for the cycle twice this season and entered play Sunday with a cool .301/.362/.516 batting line. His numbers may be inflated by the batter-friendly confines of Arizona's Chase Field, but there is no denying that he's been a big-time run producer in the first half of the 2012 campaign.
Chipper Jones, 3B, Braves
This is the sentimental pick, as Jones has announced that he plans to retire at the end of the year. He's hitting .291/.372/.450 with six home runs, six doubles and 28 RBI in 172 plate appearances this season.
- proudlycanadian - Jul 1, 2012 at 3:53 PM
No Encarnacion! Pity. He is having a much better year than Billy Butler who made the team.
- natstowngreg - Jul 1, 2012 at 3:57 PM
Probably Darvish and Harper, based on hype.
On the Nats' TVcast, F.P Santangelo asked, why should Chipper have to get voted into the last slot? Just put him on the team and honor his great career.
I agree. Chipper shouldn't have to wait for someone to get hurt, either. MLB pretends to make the All-Star Game meaningful by basing World Series home field on it. Then the game is played like the meaningless exhibition it is. As long as this fraud is perpetrated, I see no reason why they can't make room to honor a great player at the end of his career.
- randygnyc - Jul 1, 2012 at 4:30 PM
I'll vote for frieri. I'll also cast a ballot for Harper, if for no other reason to reward the exemplary manner in which he's carried himself this year.
- alexjm3449 - Jul 1, 2012 at 5:07 PM
why is Josh Willinghammer not on this list….
- Earl Westlake - Jul 1, 2012 at 5:16 PM
What about Kipnis?
- dkphilly1122 - Jul 1, 2012 at 7:52 PM
My vote is Darvish and Harper. I'm a diehard Phillies fan, but Harper is a stud and any of the immature stuff they said he did in the minors is obviously not true now. He handled the Hamels incident like a man, scored the run and after the game in his interview said Hamels pitched a good game and left it at that. Plus the kid is making baseball fun to watch again for Nat fans, plus the fact they're playing great baseball and in first place doesn't hurt. Darvish deserves to go too cause he's just got nasty stuff and has what 5 pitches?? Goodluck to all who end up making it, they all have there reasons to go.

UNION COUNTY, SD – Lawyers for ABC News filed court papers asking to transfer a defamation lawsuit from a state court in South Dakota to a federal court in the state, according to Reuters.
Beef Products Inc. (BPI) filed a defamation lawsuit Sept. 13 against ABC News alleging the network's news coverage of lean finely textured beef (LFTB) misled consumers to believe the company's product was unhealthy and unsafe. The company is seeking more than $1 billion in compensatory and statutory damages, plus unspecified punitive damages.
ABC News, which is owned by The Walt Disney Co., denied the claims.
The network filed a removal notice to transfer the case to the federal district court for the District of South Dakota, Southern Division from Union County Circuit Court in South Dakota.

I recently purchased a 20lb tank and had it filled with beer gas (75%nitro / 25% CO2). My small tank (5lb) ran out and I have hooked up my beer gas to my keg until I can refill the small one.
How does beer gas affect a Lager or Ale? Will it be a negative or positive result? Is this something I can always do or would you recommend staying away from this setup?
All feedback is greatly appreciated.
Can you get a little more specific on what styles you're curious about? For example, Stouts are ales and do great with beer gas. Hefe's are ales, but I wouldn't put it on beer gas. Don't know that Lagers would be any good on beer gas either.
PS: Oh, and beer gas is typically used with a stout faucet. Doesn't mean it always has to be a stout. Several breweries here often have stouts, bitters, ipa's, etc on "nitro"
I know that a Nitro Mix gas is used in "Long Draw" Draft Systems (for all beer types) on a regular basis because the Nitro doesn't get absorbed into the Beer, so I know it is done.
But I don't know what the mix is.
Sorry for the lack of info. I have a stout tap and a stout in the primary. This is why I originally purchased the 20lb tank. The total cost for the tank and mix was $80.00 so I could not pass it up.
The current brew on tap is a Belgian Wit. I had only planned on using the beer gas until I replenished the 5lb tank with CO2. As of today, I have not done so. I was just curious about what to expect and if there were any damaging side effects.
the mix for the ales and lagers is 60/40.
it should make much difference if your using it temporarily,
i have no idea about long term though
On Tap:warrior apa
On Tap: crystal light
