Obama unveils $2-B push to get cars off gasoline
LEMONT, Ill. -- Envisioning cars that can go "coast to coast without using a drop of oil," U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday urged Congress to authorize spending $2 billion over the next decade to expand research into electric cars and biofuels to wean automobiles off gasoline.
Obama, expanding on an initiative he addressed in his state of the union speech last month, said the United States must shift its cars and trucks entirely off oil to avoid perpetual fluctuations in gas prices. Citing policies that already require automakers to increase gas mileage, he said he expects that by the middle of the next decade, Americans will only have to fill up their cars half as often.
"We've set some achievable but ambitious goals," Obama said, speaking at Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago.
"The only way to break this cycle of spiking gas prices -- the only way to break that cycle for good -- is to shift our cars entirely, our cars and trucks, off oil," the president said.
Friday's speech, with its focus on energy, was designed to draw attention to what the White House says is one of Obama's top agenda items for his second term. That focus, however, has been overshadowed as the administration and Congress work on an immigration overhaul, gun legislation and deficit-reduction measures.
Obama cast his proposal as not only a clean energy plan, but as one meant to create opportunities for economic growth.
"I want the next great job-creating breakthroughs, whether it's in energy or nanotechnology or bioengineering, I want those breakthroughs to be right here in the United States of America, creating American jobs and maintaining our technological lead," he said.
Obama spoke from inside Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, a ring-shaped facility 21/2 kilometres around. The facility acts as a giant, extra-bright X-ray that allows scientists to look inside objects at the atomic level.
The initiative, proposing to spend $200 million a year on research, would be paid for with revenue from federal oil and gas leases on offshore drilling and would not add to the deficit.
The money would fund research on breakthrough technologies such as batteries for electric cars and biofuels made from switchgrass or other materials. Researchers also would look to improve use of natural gas as a fuel for cars and trucks.
Obama's motorcade passed a couple of dozen protesters standing in the rain at the Argonne entrance, protesting against the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada's oilsands to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. The Obama administration is considering whether to clear the project. White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One that "there's no question" the types of green-energy initiatives the president was talking about at Argonne would have more impact on climate change than whether Keystone is built.

Date of Stay: January, 2008
Indian Forest was a pleasant find on a busy holiday weekend in St. Augustine. Good campground to visit with a group. Excellent cable TV and full hookups. The sites are sand and grass, about the only thing that would make this place better would be gravel or paved sites. Lots of space between sites compared to other more expensive CG's in area. Equidistant from downtown sites and outlet mall/Camping World area. Would stay again if I was in the area.
Date of Stay: April, 2007
Do not believe older reviews about permanent residents in run-down trailers. There are none. The park appears to be undergoing renovations. They are fixing up the bathrooms and it looks like they are working on the swimming pool. This has the potential to be an even better campground in the future. Full hookup sites, lots of cable TV channels available. Some people were using satellite dishes but I didn't see the need. Most sites are pull through, will accommodate large rigs. Some shade. Nice for using as a home base to visit sites in Chattanooga, less than 10 min from downtown. 20 min from Lodge outlet. In a quiet residential area, shopping 2 miles away. Good weekend spot, or exploring spot, right off 24 with no highway noise. Next door to Raccoon Mtn cave, also appears to be a go kart track that was not in operation during our visit.
Date of Stay: March, 2007
Typical COE style campground now ran by Forsyth County. In quiet residential neighborhood. Nice sites in loop 4-18 for RVs. Beautiful tent only sites in the 90's.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
This is a terrific CG. Very friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure you have a great visit. Lots of activities at the campground and plenty of things to do in the local area. Very quiet and safe. Large sites, lots of space. I can't wait to visit again.

Baggaley school principal seeks volunteers to build playground
Baggaley Elementary School Principal Kim Hrezo invited Greater Latrobe school board members and the community to help build a primary playground for the school.
Volunteers are needed for the community build Aug. 7 at the school, 4080 Route 982, for the playground that will include adaptive equipment and "poured in place" rubber-like ground cover, Hrezo said at the board's meeting on Tuesday.
The playground cost $77,000 with $65,000 raised over years of fundraising through the Parent-Teacher Organization, including special events like read-a-thons and raffle nights, Hrezo said.
The school has received about $30,000 in donations and grants, including $18,000 from a donor on Tuesday, she said.
Hrezo said she withheld the name of the donor because she was not given permission to announce the source publicly.
Breakfast, refreshments and lunch will be provided to all volunteers at the build, planned to begin at 8 a.m. and carry on through about 2:30 p.m. with an anticipated 50 to 100 people, she said.
A rain or "carry-over" date has been scheduled for Aug. 8, if necessary.
The equipment to be installed will include bells, chimes and drum sensory equipment as well as a handicap-accessible swing and cottage for creative play.
After years of fundraising, this construction will be the culmination of many hours of hard work, said Marcilynn Modecki, former co-president of the Baggaley PTO.
"A lot of people said it would never happen, so I'm glad it's finally happening," she said, adding her appreciation to all the families of students and community members who contributed.
Hrezo said the completion of the playground, which is phase one of the outdoor project at the elementary school, builds a foundation for phase two, which is planned to include a pavilion and butterfly garden.
In other business, the board approved a $15,000 annually renewable grant from Greater Latrobe Partners In Education Foundation.
After the meeting, foundation development director Jessica Golden said the grant is meant to cover any administrative costs of the foundation's work with the school district.
The board approved a $1,795 per year liability insurance policy for newly hired student resource officer Frank Tempo in a contract with Swett and Crawford.

The traditional greeting at the beginning of worship in the season of Easter us usually something like: Christ is Risen! With the response: He is Risen. Indeed. At times people tack on an Alleluia that response. This Easter season we have been trying on another response so that the whole things sounds like this: P - Christ is Risen! C – Just look around! To which we have also added the gesture of pointing fingers indiscriminately around the worship space. Why! It has to do with the resurrection being a life – a life that is right around us – a life that is us. We can, as a Sunday School topic notes: Practice Resurrection.
Resurrection happened to the disciple who were being ruled by fear until Jesus comes into the room and invites them into the boldness of life that comes when ordinary folks are raised up to new life. It is a common as baptism. It is baptism as it is experienced as a way of life and not something that is done to us or we have decided to accept. Resurrection follows death and refuses to continue to live within the powers of death that seem to have a gripe on us and will not let go.
When folks say they do not believe in the resurrection it may be that they have not seen it happen right in the middle of an ordinary day. People who resist evil and the common and acceptable ways of violence are always present. Too often we do not see that as resurrection. To be nonviolent – to be endlessly forgiving – to be wildly merciful – to be advocates for justice and peace take a resurrection into new life. Otherwise, we hold onto all the same old stuff that turns people into victims and uses the words and devices of the world to continue life as it always has been.
So, just look around and see how the lives of the people around you may just be the life that comes to people who have been grasped by a life that seems to show off the character of God's Reign right in the middle of our everyday world. Isn't that the way of Jesus? A common person with no credential and no wealth or status that met the standards of the world and yet – there he was, living a new life in the face of violence, envy, anxiety, and all the powers that steal away life. Christ is Risen and by that, we become a part of the ordinary folk of humanity taking on the extraordinary role of God's beloved Reign.
Just look around!
Welcome means welcome. All means all. Beloved means beloved. Forgiven means forgiven. In the world of American Christianity, those words are quite common, but each one can be dropped or burdened with conditions. When the love of God that knows no limit cannot be contained by the conditions humanity loves to place on all things, it is truly a love that will not let us go. This is a rare love . . . it is a costly love . . . it is a bold and upfront love for all.
When we hear about such a love, we must not let it go sour. That is, we must not let its character be changed into something it is not. When we hear about the Good News but it seems to be held back from some people, we must hold that kind of "news" suspect. Too often, popular religious movements put together some fine music, great organizational prowess, and dynamic oratory, yet they quickly drop or limit the expansive nature of God's grace. Welcome becomes a word limited to some. All becomes merely all of us. Beloved becomes a label we must keep earning. Forgiveness becomes loaded with fine print.
Well-greased and dynamic organizations that appear to serve great numbers of people can be a wonderful sight. But when that service to others lacks an unbounded grace that boldly serves without condition, we must risk saying that such service is not "Good News" at all. It is simply the same old model of business and success that has been shaped by a culture of conditions, rewards, bias, and self-justification.
If we are afraid to trust this available character of our God, why should we say that we honor and love God and neighbor? It is important to be utterly upfront about the foundation upon which we stand when we say we are followers of Jesus. We serve the world well if we are bold and upfront about our welcome, love, and forgiveness for all—no conditions.

Phoebe Mullins's love of music took her around the world with her conductor husband, and more recently helped her solve a murder in an opera colony. Now her musical passion may prove instrumental in solving the case of another slain singer…if it doesn't prove to be her swan song. Death of a Pooh-BahA long-lost aunt's invitation brings Phoebe to Northampton, Massachusetts, and a post as stage manager of a lively community production of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. But beneath the operetta's sweet harmonies and rollicking whimsy, she observes more than one sour note. Many in the cast have a grudge against Dr. E. Foster Ballard, whose pompous self-absorption makes him perfect for his role as Lord Pooh-Bah. But who hates him enough to stab him in the back with his own prized Japanese dagger? Could it be the feminist militants who've been protesting The Mikado's misogynist lyrics? His catty ex? Or one of the Three Little Maids who've had enough of his wandering hands? And what dark history did Phoebe's own aunt have with Ballard? Soon another corpse suggests E. Foster's killer has got a little list…and Phoebe's inquiries may just have put her at the top of it.
Dishes up an engaging story with broad appeal. "Karen Sturges–and Phoebe Mullins–are real finds for even the most jaded mystery fan."–Jane Haddam, author of Deadly Beloved"Phoebe Mullins is a sleuth to cherish."–Carolyn HartAlso by Karen SturgesDeath Of A Baritone

to have expected comic relief to be watchable for my 5 year old before 8pm
(217 Posts)I know comic relief gets a bit rude as the night goes on but I made the mistake of thinking that as dd has been raising money at school it would be good to let her stay up and watch until 7.45pm.
Yes I knew there would be jokes she wouldn't get but I didn't expect her to be taught the word shagging.
I remember watching it with my parents and wanted to do the same.
So, am I being a fuddy duddy?
I made a similar comment to my MIL.
I'm not remotely squeamish about swearing/sex on TV generally, but I am a little surprised at some of the pre-watershed stuff.
can some one tell me the context of the shagging and who said it - am on bbc complaints form
You are complaining about a word that you didn't even hear?
also lots of clips of kids dying or preventable disease and the word 'shagging' is what outraged you ?
seriously it was shagging not cunt FFS
my DD is just five.
no its not appropriate, I am sure by 8 and 10 she will be ready for it.
It's just a word.
No gordy, its wasnt the word shagging
it was also women peering under a sheet in a MW skecth
it was the use of the word vajazzle,
it was the word shagging
it was the east enders sketch.
my DD was also intellegently and intently watching the footage from africa and asking questions etc, and chatting about it and how lucky she is etc etc etc.
So she wouldn't have known what shagging meant and you only knew about it when you read about it on here? your daughter clearly didn't bat an eyelid.
What is the problem?
Bring back Dick and Dom shouting "bogies!".
I think maybe CR is being smart....the kids have done their bit at school, no more money to be had from them. The teenagers have no cash. Aiming for an older audience, methinks. The Radio 2 lot rather than Radio 1.
my 5 year old wouldn;t even register that it was a rude word - unless of course I lept off the sofa clutching my pearls and shouting 'fetch me the head of the BBC I am OUTRAGED at the bad word ...you are SCARED for life aren't you darling ...say YES to mummy'
I started a totally innocent thread about this, I think I should have put it in Telly Addicts because rather than talking about the humour and sketches it's become all about this.
I'm a bit weirded out at people allowing their children to watch dying children but are offended by some mild sexual humour that would go over the heads of most kids.
I really have to leave MN, it's doing my head in.
I bet lots of parents like me thought oh good - she is interested - involved, has been doing stuff at school today a great time to learn about all this stuff, then its a case of no.,
sorry we cant watch this - its not suitable!
so we cant show you more, we cant teach you more about whats going on out there, because of the totally un neccasry use of words!
I was surprised, but not enough to get outaged by it. It was pretty early for the shagging stuff I must admit. I suspect it went right over most kid's heads though!
and again if I was so worried about my childs sensibilities I would be more concerned about the dying babies - see that is what I am outraged about - which is the POINT
Why the hell should it be aimed at children? Seriously. Not little ones! My little one was in bed at 7 (normal bedtime!) The older one was up and quizzing me intently about HIV and we talked a lot about developing countries.
What the chuffing hell did you THINK Comic Relief would be about? Fluffy kittens and CBBC for the little ones? It's an adult subject, adult issues and adult solutions. Older children can enjoy the sketches and have serious conversations about the topics. And that's great for their education. But YAB so very, very, very U if all you wanted was an evening of young family entertainment. Watch Annie on DVD if that's what you want.
You teach her then.
Comic relief really isn't for 5 year olds.
I hope that most people appreciate the huge effort which goes into raising money for such a great charity rather than getting their knickers in a twist over someone saying <whispers> shagging.
I thought Banging was the new shagging anyway, is that what the complaint is going to be about? Using an old fashioned word?
no she didnt bat an eye lid at shagging thank goodness, i didnt mention it to her - or the vajazzle.
A midwife peering under a sheet? I don't get it. What's outrageous about that? And I'm laughing a lot at the idea of complaining about something that can't have offended you because you didn't even see it
oh i see so miss piggy is on for us adults then!
^"no she didnt bat an eye lid at shagging thank goodness, i didnt mention it to her - or the vajazzle^"
Then what is your fucking problem?
If comic relief isn't for five year olds, why does the BBC aim so much of their marketing towards children?
Do they really think us adults are going to enjoy wearing a red dinosaur shaped ball on our noses, or do they do this stuff to get children interested and persuade parents to part with money?
So where is the problem then? She didn't even register the words.
As for the midwife sketch, I watched far worse on a school programme about childbirth when I was off with chicken pox when I was her age and it hasn't scarred me for life.
I like the Muppets and I'm 43.
LBE DH has just pointed out I'm sad here nodding furiously at my laptop. Yy to everything you've just said. Don't know what the fuck's going on here atm but people wimpering that their terribly terribly intelligent children have been scarred for life by hearing 'shag' and 'vajazzle' during comic relief is just pathetic.

Children who attend catechism classes at San Sebastian were invited to meet with the anglers and receive gifts from Carhartt, Pure Fishing, Yamaha, Skeeter and Dick's Sporting Goods.
In celebration of the Yuletide season, Brandon Gray received a couple of early Christmas presents for being a good angler at DeGray Lake.
Anglers who prepare their boats in colder weather will be ahead of the game come spring.
The inaugural Toyota Bonus Bucks Bassmaster Team Championship Dec. 10-13 at DeGray Lake is two bass tournaments in one, offering two highly prized titles.
The last few weeks have been crazy busy, which is great! I've been working with the media, answering emails, talking to sponsors and putting the finishing touches on my new Phoenix/ Yamaha rig. I've been without a boat for a while, so I'm ready to get back out there and do some fishing. With the weather getting colder, I'll definitely be throwing one of my favorite contraptions: the umbrella rig.
Behold! You're gazing at one of the newest Yamaha outboards, the VMax SHO 175.
Tavel won the sweepstakes' grand prize of a Skeeter TZX180 boat with standard equipment and a single-axle trailer, a Yamaha F150LA outboard motor, a Humminbird 728 Fishfinder and a Minn Kota 70 Edge trolling motor.
When I arrive for my first Bassmaster Elite event next year, look for me. I will be the one with a smile as big as Australia.
Australia's first Bassmaster Elite Series pro is turning into a national sports sensation in a country where bass don't even exist.
