Quick, Kevin
Quick Dismissed by MichiganSubmitted by pete on February 1, 2008 - 20:07
Culled from the message board...
Rivals.com is reporting the University of Michigan has dismissed freshman defenseman Kevin Quick from the team for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
MLive.com/Ann Arbor News reports:
Coach Red Berenson did not give the specifics of why he dismissed the freshman defenseman from the program but said once he learned all of the details Thursday of what Quick did, it was the right thing to do.
"Obviously, it was serious enough that we had to let him go," Berenson said. "It was just a total violation of our team trust and our rules.
"He's a good kid, and it's been a long, long week for me having to make this decision, but it was the only thing to do."
Michigan players declined to comment about the dismissal. Quick could not be reached Friday for comment.
Berenson has suspended players in season before for academic or behavior reasons, but rarely has someone been immediately dismissed.
"I didn't know everything until (Thursday), and once I did, it was a quick decision," Berenson said.
Quick, a 3rd round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, is considered one of the Lightning's brightest young prospects.

In an exciting game aired on CSTV, Michigan erased a 2-0 deficit against No.8 Notre Dame and earned a last minute win when Ottawa Senators third rounder (2007) Louie Caporusso banged in a loose puck from the side of the net with 20 seconds left. The goal came shortly after an offensive zone faceoff, which featured Kevin Quick on the right point. The Irish won the faceoff, but the Wolverine forecheck caused a turnover and an eventual goal.
Quick was on the ice for the Irish's first goal, so he ended up even for the game. He had a few nice rushes and seems to be playing with a lot of confidence.
Michigan was swept 3-0 by Notre Dame last year.

Well, one they get paid massive amounts of money to wear them for warmups, two, the reason they pay them is for fools like you who spend 250 dollars plus on mid to low quality headphones that my 70 dollars Klipsch earbuds could match or even outdo, and three, I bet they arent even headphones that theyre wearing, theyre just plastic headphone looking head articles.
I have worn beats before, and I thought they had overpowered bass, and even at that the bass wasnt good. They looked to flashy, and they felt flimsy. I have never worn counterfeits, but I have seen on other forums that they sound better than the real ones. Whats the most expensive beats out there? Studios or Dr. Dres? All I know is they run multi hundreds of dollars, and your high quality in ear earbuds could out do them easily. I use my PULSE Headphones that are made for ps3 gameplay, they run 130 bucks and have adjustable bass on them so you can adjust to what your listening to, but I never go over half. And the warranty on my Klipsch in ears? impeccable, 2 years against all defects, but does not cover abuse (of course)
Plainly said, beats are mid range to mid low quality headphones that are better than your skullcandy juggalo stuff, but for the money, not worth it. Spend it on excess tennis shoes and rackets! Things that are necessary!
P.S. Most people I see with beats (usually a younger crowd around my age 17-24 year olds) arent even wearing them on their ears, they just hang them around their necks and dont even have the aux cable plugged into them, clarly indicative of, "Hey, I just wasted money on a fashion fad."
When I said fools, I was not referring to the TT member, to make that clear, the fool is the person in the first sentence

The Cornwall region
S. E. Cornwall is placed within an easy drive of this region's stunning North & South coasts. Local beaches offer remote unspoilt nature walks & swimming, or busier surfing, fishing, kayaking, dingy, cool cafe/restaurant resorts. (Surf/kayak & dingy equipment is offered for hire on the day). Ancient smuggling & fishing villages, now home to artists & film makers, are also an exciting feature of this region. Many international film makers have chosen locations from this region (Most recently Steven Spielberg's "Warhorse"). Beautiful National Trust houses such as the Lost Gardens of Heligon, Cothele & Lanhydrock are nestled into the pretty Cornish countryside. International golf courses such as St. Mellion offer many extra family amenities. Plymouth with its historic Barbican, shops, cinemas & restaurants is also a great day out. Finally hundreds of hectares of moorland offer wild walks & prehistoric monuments and fireside pubs, including Daphne Du Maurier's "Jamaica Inn".
St. Mellion International Golf course & Country Club offering swimming pools, tennis and many family amenities is within a 15 min drive, Siblyback lake for many watersports is also within 15 mins, as are many river and lake fishing beauty spots and the south coast beaches offering either watersports or remote unspoilt wilderness. Stunning Calstock, an ancient mining and fishing village, is a twenty min drive away with river and woodland walks up to the National Trust's charming Cothele House, gardens cafe & restaurant. Plymouth offers everything from the ancient Barbican to Cuban dance cafe's, cool restaurants, cinema's and shopping. Bodmin Moor & Dartmoor (recent location of Spielberg's "Warhorse") offers wild walks, horse riding, prehistoric and ancient monuments and country fireside pubs. Port Eliot Literary festival and the Maker music festival are among many events which run in this part of Cornwall throughout the year.

DNA-PKcs plays a dominant role in the regulation of H2AX phosphorylation in response to DNA damage and cell cycle progression

BMC Molecular Biology 2010, 11:18 doi:10.1186/1471-2199-11-18Published: 6 March 2010
When DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are induced by ionizing radiation (IR) in cells, histone H2AX is quickly phosphorylated into γ-H2AX (p-S139) around the DSB site. The necessity of DNA-PKcs in regulating the phosphorylation of H2AX in response to DNA damage and cell cycle progression was investigated.
The level of γH2AX in HeLa cells increased rapidly with a peak level at 0.25 - 1.0 h after 4 Gy γ irradiation. SiRNA-mediated depression of DNA-PKcs resulted in a strikingly decreased level of γH2AX. An increased γH2AX was also induced in the ATM deficient cell line AT5BIVA at 0.5 - 1.0 h after 4 Gy γ rays, and this IR-increased γH2AX in ATM deficient cells was dramatically abolished by the PIKK inhibitor wortmannin and the DNA-PKcs specific inhibitor NU7026. A high level of constitutive expression of γH2AX was observed in another ATM deficient cell line ATS4. The alteration of γH2AX level associated with cell cycle progression was also observed. HeLa cells with siRNA-depressed DNA-PKcs (HeLa-H1) or normal level DNA-PKcs (HeLa-NC) were synchronized at the G1 phase with the thymidine double-blocking method. At ~5 h after the synchronized cells were released from the G1 block, the S phase cells were dominant (80%) for both HeLa-H1 and HeLa-NC cells. At 8 - 9 h after the synchronized cells released from the G1 block, the proportion of G2/M population reached 56 - 60% for HeLa-NC cells, which was higher than that for HeLa H1 cells (33 - 40%). Consistently, the proportion of S phase for HeLa-NC cells decreased to ~15%; while a higher level (26 - 33%) was still maintained for the DNA-PKcs depleted HeLa-H1 cells during this period. In HeLa-NC cells, the γH2AX level increased gradually as the cells were released from the G1 block and entered the G2/M phase. However, this γH2AX alteration associated with cell cycle progressing was remarkably suppressed in the DNA-PKcs depleted HeLa-H1 cells, while wortmannin and NU7026 could also suppress this cell cycle related phosphorylation of H2AX. Furthermore, inhibition of GSK3β activity with LiCl or specific siRNA could up-regulate the γH2AX level and prolong the time of increased γH2AX to 10 h or more after 4 Gy. GSK3β is a negative regulation target of DNA-PKcs/Akt signaling via phosphorylation on Ser9, which leads to its inactivation. Depression of DNA-PKcs in HeLa cells leads to a decreased phosphorylation of Akt on Ser473 and its target GSK3β on Ser9, which, in other words, results in an increased activation of GSK3β. In addition, inhibition of PDK (another up-stream regulator of Akt/GSK3β) by siRNA can also decrease the induction of γH2AX in response to both DNA damage and cell cycle progression.
DNA-PKcs plays a dominant role in regulating the phosphorylation of H2AX in response to both DNA damage and cell cycle progression. It can directly phosphorylate H2AX independent of ATM and indirectly modulate the phosphorylation level of γH2AX via the Akt/GSK3 β signal pathway.

Color Shown on Model:Pic 1-4: 12/30BT, Pic 5: 14/24Beautiful loose curl hair layered all around are featured in this Bella wig by Jon Renau. This medium-length wig has feathered, wispy bangs and full body curls along the nape of the neck. Bella is also constructed with a monofilament top for the ultimate in natural realism.
Jon Renaus Mono Top Collection has the most innovative cap construction available on the market today. Our exclusive construction utilizes a double monofilament top which feels soft and silky inside the cap. Because this design replaces machine wefted strips with monofilament, it eliminates scratchy, irritating friction against the scalp. We strongly recommend this collection for those with fine, thin hair or those searching for the most realistic look available in alternative hair.
- Virtually Invisible Monofilament Base - Mono Tops give the appearance of actual hair growth straight out of the scalp. Each Mono Top piece features over and under hand-tied hairs to simulate a natural hairline.
- Supremely Natural Hair Movement - Every hair in the monofilament top is individually hand-tied, one strand at a time. Each hair can move and swivel freely, just as hair moves when growing from a follicle. A Mono Top hairpiece will never appear stiff, bulky or artificial.
- Unlimited Styles, Perfect Fit - Mono Top wigs can be styled and parted in any direction, just like natural hair. The Mono Top design also reduces weight and hair density on the top of each piece. With their light weight, smooth fit, and the option to secure adhesive to polyurethane strips inside the front hairline and ear tabs, Mono Top wigs feel perfectly customized.

What is it?
This is a huge family-sized load-lugger, taking 528 litres of load even with the seats up. As with the hatch, it's more upmarket within, to go with the neatly profiled lines.
While the i-30 may not handle quite like the BMW 1-Series it's so clearly trying to resemble, there's still a composed and entertaining chassis to exploit, supported by direct and informative steering.
The i-30 and C'eed both ride remarkably well, given that they also handle – a very tricky balance to strike. It may lack that certain Germanic something that makes cars like the VW Golf feel so cosseting, but it's really not that far off.
The i-30's small petrol engines don't do much for it in the performance stakes. In fact the only option that can muster halfway respectable figures is the larger of the two diesels.
On the inside
As family estates go, the i-30 ticks the required boxes. It's got five-doors and a big boot, is relatively spacious in the back and has folding rear seats. No strokes of genius, but none required.
Hyundai has been building decent, reliable cars for a while and besides, there's a monster warranty as back-up if anything does go wrong.
Expect the i-30 to hold its value fairly well. Couple that with its relatively cheap initial purchase price and you're on to a winner. Hyundai also offers a five year warranty with this, so you've nothing to worry about should something go pop.

Coolest Detergent Ads Ever Feature Amazing Sand Sculptures
Ad agency Lowe Singapore got three-time world champion sand artist JooHeng Tan to build a series of "18-ton" (that's what the press note says) dirt sculptures for OMO detergent. Great idea.
Listen, my first reaction upon seeing any ad campaign is to look for some reason to hate the crap out of it. Often times, if I don't find a reason, I make one up. That's how much I hate advertising.
I don't hate these ads. I think it's a refreshing way to sell detergent. Sure, there's no unique selling point—you could use these for any detergent. So what. Sometimes, all you have to do is sell the category more memorably than the competition.
No stacks of clean laundry, no smiling dirty kids—the two usual, hackneyed approaches. I love these. I love the tagline. Bravo.
(OMO is a very well known brand in Singapore, that's why there's no product shot in the layouts. I don't think they're scam ads, because the agency wouldn't have enlisted the sand artist.)

The Adilabad district unit of the National Bank for Rural and Agriculture Development (NABARD) on Thursday organised a workshop to sensitise unemployed agriculture and horticulture graduates on agri-clinics and agri-business centres. The aim of the workshop was to support agriculture development besides creating gainful employment for agriculture graduates and extending extension services to farmers.
Addressing the unemployed graduates in the subjects of agriculture and horticulture, NABARD Assistant General Manager (AGM) V.S. Gupta said that both the activities envisaged credit-linked assistance to them. He said that the loans comprised of a backhanded subsidy component of 44 per cent for SC, ST and women candidates while others would get a subsidy of 36 per cent. Explaining in detail about the proposed activities, the AGM said that through agri-clinics the graduates could provide advice on modern farming techniques and crop practices among others. "The agri-business centres are commercial units for sale of farm equipment and inputs," he added.

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
If you're driving, please take a moment to be sure you're awake. A survey finds one of every 24 adults admits to falling asleep at the wheel. Health officials say they suspect the true number is higher. Some people don't realize when they drop off for a second or...
Steve. Hey, hey, hey, Steve.
INSKEEP: Anyway, drivers most likely to nod off are men, according to this survey, or people between 25 and 34.

January Jones is STILL pregnant in case you were wondering. She looks like she's going to give birth any day now and it feels like she's been preggo for like ever. We have No Doubt that she will be a great mother but we've heard so many rumors about how she's so distant and hard to approach.
The actor who plays January's TV-son, Bobby, said "Be careful around January. She's not as approachable as the others. She's really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice." Maybe January will become a bit warmer when she has her baby? (tvguide)

Smith, it's time to do the right thing.
Don't underestimate how much antagonism there is toward women and how many people wish we could turn the clock back. One of the things people always say to you if you get upset is, don't take it personally, but listen hard to what's going on and, please, I beg you, take it personally. Understand: Every attack on Hillary Clinton for not knowing her place is an attack on you. Underneath almost all those attacks are the words: Get back, get back to where you once belonged. When Elizabeth Dole pretends that she isn't serious about her career, that is an attack on you. The acquittal of O.J. Simpson is an attack on you. Any move to limit abortion rights is an attack on you—whether or not you believe in abortion. The fact that Clarence Thomas is sitting on the Supreme Court today is an attack on you.
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. Because you don't have the alibi my class had—this is one of the great achievements and mixed blessings you inherit: Unlike us, you can't say nobody told you there were other options. Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead. Twenty-five years from now, you won't have as easy a time making excuses as my class did. You won't be able to blame the deans, or the culture, or anyone else: you will have no one to blame but yourselves. Whoa.
The room is now complete!

Dorm life at Wellesley College in the 1950's!
Admitting that I didn't belong at Wellesley was perhaps the hardest part of my transition from female to male. After all, Wellesley was my home. I practically grew up on campus: being walked through the greenhouses as an infant, exploring the Science Center's maze of stairs and labs, sledding on Severance Green, reading under the trees in the arboretum. And then it became where I lived, where I studied, where I fell in love, where I made my best friends. And suddenly it wasn't.
Being thrust into life as a man was liberating yet confusing, validating yet alienating. But there I was – a man in a women's space. And as a male ally and feminist, I could not in good conscience remain in one of the few spaces that are carved out specifically for women. I was an invader, and while it was difficult – emotionally, physically, and socially – to distance myself from the very place I had once considered home, it was what I had to do. I, as a man, did not belong at a women's college.
There has been much talk lately about women's colleges and trans* individuals. Committees are being formed, policies are being written, articles are being published. We're being asked what it means to be a woman, what it means to be a women's college. I'm slightly confused by the questions. What it means to be a woman is as much an issue as what it means to be a man (which no one is asking). A woman might be Black, Asian, or Latina, she might be short or tall, skinny or fat, she might have long hair or a buzz cut, she might wear a dress one day and pants the next, she might be rich or poor, she might have been assigned male or female at birth, she might be a Democrat or a Republican, she might love to read or solve math problems or both – but she's a woman, and as such, she belongs at a women's college. I want women's colleges to be defined in the positive – who they are for (women) rather than who they are not for. I've seen many people propose an "all but cis men" admissions policy for Wellesley. Such a policy allows men to attend a women's college, which undermines it as a women's space. If a prospective student cannot check a box identifying themselves as a woman, they don't belong at a women's college. There are approximately 4,000 other colleges and universities in the United States that men can attend. There's no need to invade a women's space.
Many people are also calling for explicit policies regarding trans* women. As Wellesley is a women's college, it admits women, and therefore trans* women are – theoretically – invited to apply and attend. However, we would be naïve to assume there would be no issues with a trans* woman's application. If her recommendation letters use a different pronoun or her FAFSA is rejected because her record with the Social Security Administration does not match, she may be flagged. To open Wellesley's doors to all women, such issues must be explicitly dealt with. While most applicants will simply be able to say "I am a woman", there are those who need to qualify the statement with a "but". I am a woman, but my teachers don't recognize me as one. I am a woman, but I don't have the financial means to change my documentation. And the message needs to be loud and clear – Wellesley recognizes you as a woman, and we will help you sort out the "buts".
There are, of course, things Wellesley could do to support the men who end up there for whatever reason. As a man, my experience at Wellesley could have been improved with access to medical care specific to trans* people, more alternative housing, and a program to help men transfer and finish on time at a coed college. But supporting men is not Wellesley's mission, and the male students and alumni of Wellesley need to recognize our place. It's fundamentally a conflicted place. But learning to be a good man means being an ally to our sisters, letting them have their women's spaces, not interrupting their conversations, and listening to their words. Being a man is easy – but being a good man means bowing out when it's not about you. And Wellesley is not about me.

HENDERSON, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota officials have hired a contractor to start stabilizing a highway closed by flood and mudslide damage.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation tells the Mankato Free Press that GeoStabilization International of Grand Junction, Colorado, has begun work on Highway 19. The east-west route that crosses near Minneapolis has been closed since June. Department officials say it's expected to reopen to traffic by fall.
The contractor will start from Henderson and Highway 169 on a process called soil nailing. It involves the insertion of reinforcing bars into the exposed soil.
A second contractor will be hired after the soil nailing is finished. It will need to complete repairs to the roadway and guardrail.

Health Happens in Libraries: Looking Ahead to 2015 Open Enrollment
Public libraries played an active role in the initial enrollment in the federal health insurance marketplace that led to over eight million people receiving health care coverage. With the next open enrollment period coming up (November 15, 2014 – February 15, 2015), there are more opportunities for libraries to collaborate with local partners to provide health information outreach and education in their communities.
In this webinar, you'll get an overview of objectives and resources for the 2015 open enrollment period from representatives from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). You'll learn about the Coverage to Care initiative, which supports individuals in learning how to utilize health coverage, and review opportunities to connect community members to marketplace information through library service priorities and partnerships.
Moderated by: WebJunction
Presented by:
•Lynne G. Johnson, Deputy Group Director, Partner Relations Group, Office of Communications, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
•Cara V. James, PhD, Director, Office of Minority Health, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Criminal lawyer Mubin Solkar has decided to defend Abdul Samad Bhatkal, the prime suspect in the Pune bomb blast, who has been arrested by Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in a 2009 arms seizure case.
"I was approached by Abdul's family last night after which I decided to represent him. I have nothing to say about him at this stage as I am still holding talks with the family," Mr. Solkar said on Thursday.
Two days after Bhatkal's arrest in Mangalore, his mother Bibi Rehana, uncle Mohammad Ali Siddibapa and aunt Halima arrived here from the port city in Karnataka to look for a lawyer to defend the 23-year-old.
Though Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said Bhatkal is the key suspect in the February 13 explosion in Pune's German Bakery, ATS has booked him only in the arms case.
In August 2009, ATS had arrested three aides of gangster Chhota Shakeel for possession of firearms. According to the investigating agency, Bhatkal was the supplier of the arms. He is in police custody till June 1.
Solkar (32) had earlier represented Saquib Nachan, an alleged SIMI activist, in the December 2002 Ghatkopar bomb blast case. Nachan was later discharged.
He is also representing some accused in the Mulund, Vile Parle and Mumbai Central blasts of 2002-03.

Energy Efficiency
Related Information
For decades, energy companies have encouraged customers to use energy efficiently in order to save energy. Terms used for this effort include energy efficiency (making better use of energy through more efficient technology), energy conservation (making better use of energy by changing our behavior) and load management (shifting energy use to off-peak periods). In the 1970s and 1980s, an energy crisis prompted the creation of energy-efficiency programs that encouraged customers to buy energy-efficient appliances. In the 1990s, rising energy prices brought energy-management programs to the forefront. Today, with an increasing concern about the environment, these programs help us all be more responsible energy consumers. For example, at Wisconsin Public Service, our residential use-per-customer has declined about 23% for electric and 15% for gas over the last 10 years on weather normalized bases.
The Integrys Viewpoint
Integrys Energy Group has always believed it has a responsibility to help customers use energy wisely. It's part of our mission to provide customers with the best value in energy and energy-related services. Whether the result is a lower energy bill or a lesser impact on the environment, energy-saving information and programs are valuable to our customers. A new priority for our company is to focus on energy efficiency in our own operations.
We believe:
- Energy efficiency can help reduce our impact on the environment. Energy efficiency is a critical, cost-effective way to reduce emissions and our impact on the environment. Integrys companies in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and other states have energy-efficiency resources and programs in place for customers and are continually developing new ones.
- We must practice energy efficiency in our own operations. Our companies are focused on providing safe, reliable energy. We've always provided programs and information to help our customers make the most of the energy they use. As Integrys has become increasingly attuned to our impact on the environment, we have been changing our behavior. We realize that the best way to encourage energy efficiency is to begin "at home," in our own operations. With our own energy-efficiency success stories, we are better able to be a resource for customers.
Our Actions
Integrys Energy Group is addressing environmental issues by helping everyone get more energy-efficient. We are:
- Promoting energy efficiency. We actively educate customers about energy-efficient buildings and appliances and simple ways to use less energy. Here are some examples:
- Wisconsin Public Service funds Focus on Energy, the utilities' statewide energy efficiency and renewable energy program. Since 2001, Focus on Energy has helped residents and businesses reduce their energy use and costs. Wisconsin Public Service partnered with Focus on Energy and the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) to offer the iCanConserve energy conservation pilot project to three select communities. This three-year project's goal was simple: Give customers the rates, programs and tools to use less energy and lower their energy bills — without asking for unreasonable changes in lifestyles and work habits. Lessons learned from the pilot are now being brought forward to all WPS customers.
- The fourth Wisconsin Public Service Energy Challenge returned this fall. The program is open to all community nonprofit organizations located in the electric service area. The organizations compete for grants by saving energy and helping others save energy. To receive a grant, the organization's members, as a residential WPS customer, must complete a number of energy-saving challenges.
- Michigan Gas Utilities, WPS (Michigan) partners with Efficiency United to offer residential and business customers a variety of energy-efficiency rebates and programs to help reduce energy use and costs.
- Minnesota Energy Resources offers a variety of rebates and programs to help residential and business customers improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs.
- The Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas Natural Gas Savings Programs offer a wide range of incentives to encourage customers to make energy-efficiency upgrades to their properties. The programs include rebates and free energy-saving products for residential and business customers, as well as customized incentives and assistance from energy experts for commercial and industrial customers.
- On all of our utilities' websites, customers can find information to help them better manage their energy use and costs.
- Supporting regulatory changes to support energy efficiency. Decoupling mechanisms are being used nationally to help energy companies promote energy efficiency without incurring negative financial consequences. When energy companies promote energy efficiency, they essentially tell customers "Use less of the product we sell." It's an unusual statement for any business to make, but it's the right thing to do for customers and the environment. At the same time, every publicly traded energy company has a responsibility to provide shareholders with a reasonable return on their investment. That keeps energy companies viable so they can continue providing safe, reliable energy and help keep the economy working. Decoupling helps balance the interests of customers, the environment and investors. It separates the utility's recovery of fixed costs from the amount of energy delivered to customers. Decoupling has been used in over 1/2 of the states. Integrys utilities have embraced the use of decoupling in that states Integrys utilities operate and currently have decoupling approved in MN, MI and IL.
- Incorporating energy efficiency in our own operations. We believe it's worth the energy it takes to make improvements in efficiency. It's even more exciting to make changes like these:
- Wisconsin Public Service has an operations center in Rhinelander, Wisconsin that is certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a program of the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED program seeks human and environmental health, sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
- Minnesota Energy Resources also has a LEED-certified operations center in Rochester, Minnesota.
- Integrys has an Energy Management Team. The team's goal is to reduce energy use in all Integrys buildings. The team's first step was to track energy use and engage employees in the planning. Several projects are in progress, including a computer monitor policy; lighting upgrades; digital controls for heating, ventilating and air conditioning; and occupancy sensors.
- Joining energy-efficiency discussions at the state and local level. The president and CEO of Integrys Energy Group as well as a number of other employees participated on Wisconsin's Task Force on Global Warming. The final recommendations of the task force included, for example, enhanced energy efficiency, energy-efficient and green building codes and energy-efficient lighting for rental properties.
In Illinois, Peoples Gas was among a core group of utility and industry leaders helping to shape the Chicago Climate Action Plan The priorities include reducing energy use through stringent building code enhancements, promoting green infrastructure such as green roofs, reducing travel emissions and moving to a clean, efficient energy supply.
- Participating in industry organizations to encourage energy-efficient technology and solutions. Integrys is a long-standing member of Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and the American Gas Association (AGA). These groups are engaged in the public debate about how to address climate change. Both groups promote energy efficiency as the cornerstone of any climate change solution.

- Postal workers across the nation protest a Postal Service deal with Staples. The American
Postal Workers Union has organized events at 50 office supply stores nationwide.
They don't like the idea of Staples employees selling postal products, like
stamps, at special counters at the stores. The union says the deal could pave the
way for layoffs and the closing of post offices. It wants the counters staffed by
its members. The Postal Service sees its partnership with Staples as part of a
financial lifeline as it tries to cut costs and boost revenue. (American Postal
Workers Union)
- A military job placement program for military spouses is exceeding its goals,
according to the Defense Department. The Military Spouse Employment Partnership
has a huge success rate, and has connected more than 60,000 spouses with private
and public sector jobs. The Defense Department has also named May as Military
Spouse Appreciation Month, to shed light on the sacrifice and support spouses
provide to service members and communities. The career program is meant to help
military spouses achieve their career goals, which can be difficult because of
frequent moving around. More than 1.8 million jobs have been posted on the
program's career portal, and officials say they're well on their way to surpassing
the 2015 target of seeing 50,000 new hires. (Defense Department)
- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he's seeking ways to further the U.S. and
Mexico defense relationship. This may include
training exercises with Mexican forces. Military relations with Mexico have long
been strained and more recently because of cross-border drug trafficking. Hagel
will meet today with his Mexican counterpart. He says they plan to discuss
security threats and the potential areas for cooperation such as disaster planning
and humanitarian assistance. The secretary says there is a lot of room for
enhanced ties with the U.S.' Latin American partners. One sign of these
improvements is Mexico's interest in buying U.S. helicopters. Previously, the
country bought Russian helicopters. (Associated Press)
- The inspector general of the intelligence community says agencies fail to disclose
employees' crimes, as revealed by lie-detector tests. The agencies are
supposed to alert law enforcement. But the report by IG Charles McCullough cites
breakdowns in reporting procedures and poor advice from agency lawyers. McCullough
says Intelligence Director James Clapper has agreed to review agency guidelines on
polygraph admissions. The report cites glaring examples from National
Reconnaissance Office. It says the agency failed to notify police after polygraphs
indicated employees had possibly committed crimes from child pornography to drug
possession. (Associated Press)
- The administration is encouraging non-violent federal prisoners to apply for
an early release in an effort to ease the cost and crowding of prisons, and also
to be more tolerant. The Justice Department announced its renewed clemency process for low-level felons and
its intent to correct sentencing disparities. The plan only applies to federal
prisons. But state prisons also have massive overcrowding problems. The Bureau of
Prisons will tell inmates about the six criteria in order to be considered for
early release. Some of those criteria are: no violent history, no ties to a
criminal organization and the inmate must have already served 10 years or more of
a sentence that, if convicted today, would be a substantially shorter sentence.
(Associated Press)
- The Food and Drug Administration is widening its oversight of tobacco
products. A proposal being issued today will ban sales to minors of new products,
and require companies to first register their products and provide a full
ingredient list. The FDA's move is thought to be the necessary groundwork for
eventually attempting to curb the fast growing electronic cigarette market. Even
though no immediate steps are being taken, such as banning e-cig flavors, limiting
marketing or finalizing product standards, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg says
the proposal allows for more comprehensive knowledge about the widespread use of
e-cigarettes and potential health risks. The public and industry members have 75
days to comment on the proposal. (Associated Press)
- Energy Department investigators blame poor management and lax attitudes towards safety for a
radiation leak at the government's nuclear waste facility in New Mexico. It's
still not clear what caused the February accident, so the investigation has
focused on the agency and contractor's response. In a new report, Energy's
accident investigation board describes shortcomings at nearly every turn. It took
too long for managers to realize they had a serious problem. The leak, back in
February, contaminated 21 workers. The dump has been closed for nearly two months.
(Associated Press)
- The head of the National Transportation Safety Board says the government has
to do something now to prevent deadly
oil-train accidents. By saying so, the small agency's chairman takes on the larger
Transportation Department as it drafts new rules for tank cars that haul oil and
ethanol. Deborah Hersman says the nation cannot afford to wait for the federal
rulemaking process to run its course. She says regulators should issue emergency
orders or interim rules, and waiting will lead only to a "higher body count." In
response, the department says it's putting every option on the table, including
issuing multiple safety advisories. (Associated Press)

Anne Boleyn (circa 1500-1536), Second Queen of Henry VIII
Sitter associated with 22 portraits
The second wife of Henry VIII, Anne was associated with the King from 1527 and secretly married him in 1533, shortly before Henry's divorce from Katherine of Aragon was completed. Later in the same year their daughter Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I) was born. By 1536 Henry had grown tired of Anne, and, still desperate for a male heir began to doubt the legitimacy of their marriage. That same year Anne was charged with adultery and incest and was executed at the Tower of London.

Hi folks,
I'm a new Android player and played my second game against my friend tonight, who's also the same experience. I was hoping if you could clarify something for me please?
I used Gordian Blade during a run on his server which was protected by Viper.
GB has strength 2 and was boosted by The Personal Touch to strength 3, I paid an extra credit to match Viper's strength of 4.
GB has the following abilities:
Pay 1 Credit: Break code gate subroutine.
Pay 1 Credit: +1 strength for the remainder of this run.
Do I have to pay 2 credits to use GB's first ability to break both Viper's subroutines? (eg 1 credit per subroutine)
If a runner can normally pay a credit to bypass a subroutine when he encounters it, how is GB's first ability any better?
For the second ability, if I pay 2 credits, can I increase GB's strength by 2 for the remainder of the run, etc?

LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena on New England Revolution boss Jay Heaps: "He's an outstanding coach"
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena will be the elder statesman on Sunday when he takes on fourth-year New England Revolution head coach Jay Heaps.
On paper, the gap in experience between the pair could not be more different.
Arena, a four time MLS Cup champion, will be coaching in his seventh final while Heaps will lead the Revs for the very first time. Although there is a considerable experience gap between the two head coaches, Arena admires the growth that Heaps has shown in four years of coaching the Revolution.
"He's a person that I recruited at the University of Virgina, but he chose to go to Duke, so I hold that against him a little bit. He was a great athlete in both soccer and basketball, and he played for one of the great basketball coaches in Mike Krzyzewski and he was a big influence in coaching career. He put in a great shift with the Revs and became an understudy then went into coaching. He got help from Mike and other coaches and in a few years, he's become an outstanding coach.
"He's a work horse who puts in a lot of hours, he's very dedicated, very bright and obviously very good."
CARSON, Calif. -- The clock is ticking and MLS Cup is fast approaching
The sun was back out at LA Galaxy training as the team continued their preparation for Sunday's MLS Cup Final against the New England Revolution. Stopping the Revolution will be no easy task, considering New England enjoyed so much success as they progressed through the Eastern Conference, but LA are confident that they can shutdown the Revs attack.
"We're going to do what we did all year and go with that," said Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza. "But that being said, I think that Charlie Davies is on fire right now in the playoffs and we're facing a team that has scored a bunch of away goals in this playoffs. We know that they're not going to sit back. We need to get on the front foot and get after them early."
Bruce Arena says that LA Galaxy win over New England Revolution in July means nothing heading into MLS Cup
CARSON, Calif. – Earlier this season, the LA Galaxy flattened their MLS Cup opponents the New England Revolution 5-1 at StubHub Center, but don't look for that game to affect the way either team approaches Sunday's championship match.
On July 16, LA were in control from the get go and were aided by an early red card by AJ Soares as Robbie Keane and Gyasi Zardes each scored a pair of goals while Stefan Ishizaki rounded out the scoring for the Galaxy. MLS MVP finalist Lee Nguyen scored the only goal of the evening for the Revs on a penalty kick goal that saw Galaxy right back Dan Gargan sent off.
While LA ran rampant that evening, the teams that will face one another are remarkably different (look at the lineups here).
In particular, that incarnation of the Revolution was mired in an eight game winless streak and was still a month from acquiring Designated Player Jermaine Jones, who has proven key to New England's drive to MLS Cup. But LA will be dramatically different as well as Bruce Arena famously benched Landon Donovan for the match against New England only to insert the longtime U.S. international at halftime.
"Both teams are different. If you look at the lineups those days, they won't look anything like Sunday," said Arena on Thursday. "They're probably going to have three or four different players on the field and we'll likely have four or five different players on the field. Davies is a fixture now, so there are changes. That game means nothing; it's in the archives now."
Robbie Keane on MVP: "I'm delighted to win the award, but I'd trade it in for a championship on Sunday"
LOS ANGELES -- When Robbie Keane arrived in Southern California in 2011, he made a simple yet powerful declarative statement: "I'm not coming here for a vacation."
It's pretty clear that he's backed up those words in his three-and-a-half years with the Galaxy.
On Wednesday, Keane was named the 2014 MLS Volkswagen MVP after a stellar season that saw the Irish striker score 19 goals and 14 assists to lead an LA team that led the league in scoring. Even as Keane basked in the success of his most recent season, many focused on the forward's great success with the club since joining the team in 2011.
Whereas previous incarnations of the Galaxy fell short of titles in 2009 and 2010, when Keane was introduced, the Galaxy pushed their way to the top, winning two straight MLS Cups in 2011 and 2012. And because of that, Galaxy boss Bruce Arena was not shy to declare Keane that Keane was missing piece that LA needed to truly contend for the league's top prize.
"I've watched Robbie for years and there was always something in the back of my mind that this was the type of player that we want to get in this league and that I'd love to have on my team one day," said Arena. "We were very fortunate when we had the opportunity to get him from Tottenham.
"He sets the tone for our team every day. He's good with the young players, he gets our team ready to play," Arena added. "Those are things that you don't see in the box score, but he's that valuable for our team each and every day."
But as you might expect from a player labeled the missing piece to a championship side, Keane's focus is not on winning individual honors, but rather the real title that will be awarded on Sunday.
"It's great to be recognized by your fellow professionals and the media. I'm delighted with the award, but I'd certainly trade it in for a championship on Sunday," said Keane. "These awards mean something, I'd be a fool if I said that it didn't, but if we didn't win the championship then it wouldn't mean that much to me. If we win, it'll cap off a great year for me and for our team."
Everyone knows about Landon Donovan's famous habit of kissing his wrists before each penalty, but there is another ritual that the LA Galaxy and U.S. National Team star is infamous for that takes place before each and every game.
Since joining the Galaxy, Donovan has preformed the ritual -- which he claims isn't necessary, but has been performed in every game since 2005 -- which involves him taking a drink of water from a Gatorade bottle before spraying both head athletic trainer Ivan Pierra and assistant athletic trainer Kurt Andrews in the face.
"It kind of gets the training staff a little bit fired up and prepared for the game and hopefully makes them feel a little bit part of what's going on," Donovan told the Los Angeles Times' Kevin Baxter. "They're a part of what we do, and we want to make them feel involved."
Added Andrews, " "It's a bond, We as a staff spend a lot of time with him. I could see it as an honor, for sure."
The complete story on Landon Donovan's pregame ritual can be found here on the Los Angeles Times website.

Robbie Keane says Gyasi Zardes must get back to basics if he's going to score against Seattle Sounders FC
CARSON, Calif. – Gyasi Zardes took MLS by storm with 16 goals in his second season with the LA Galaxy, but since finding the back of the net on Sept. 28, the forward has been silent.
Recently, Zardes has seen his amount of chances dwindle from an average of just over a shot on goal per game after the New York Red Bulls match to just two chances in the entirety of his six-game scoring drought.
Although the 23-year-old forward has failed to bury his chances as of late, his strike partner, Galaxy captain Robbie Keane says Zardes must get back to basics if he's going to find the back of the net against Seattle Sounders FC this weekend.
"He has to get back to understanding what got him here in the first place. The most important thing that he has to understand is to be a team player first. If you're a team player first then everything else will take care of itself," Keane said after training earlier this week. "He needs to get back to what he's good at, which is getting behind the defense and creating opportunities. But when he gets those opportunities then he has to take them and in the last few games, he hasn't. He needs to get back to that.
"Like any striker, you always go through stages where you don't score and it plays in your mind. The most important thing is that he has to get that out of his head fairly quickly, because when you're going into games thinking that you haven't scored for a while, it'll work against you. One thing that I would say is that when you get an opportunity, rather than be clever and try to place it, sometimes just put your foot through and try to smash it. Usually that has worked for me over the years when I haven't scored in a few games."
To his credit, Zardes agrees that if he's going to find the back of the net in LA's Western Conference Championship series, he has to be sharper in front of the net
"To be honest, I'm working extremely hard and there are numerous opportunities, but I'm just going to keep doing the same things that I've been doing. I've been unlucky, but the [chances] are there," said Zardes. "I just think that I have to get on the end of crosses because if you look at my goals, they typically come with solid link-up play with Robbie."
The 2014 MLS dispersal draft came and went with the LA Galaxy opting to make no picks with the 16th overall selection.
Despite having the option to select any former players from Chivas USA, the Galaxy opted to pass with their choice in the draft.
With the top selection in the draft, FC Dallas selected former MLS Goalkeeper of the Year candidate Dan Kennedy who was one of seven picks. Also selected were Matthew Dunn (NYCFC), Thomas McNamara (D.C. United), Donny Toia (Montreal Impact), Caleb Calvert (Colorado Rapids), Kristopher Tyrpak (San Jose Earthquakes), and Marco Delgado (Vancouver Whitecaps FC)
Robbie Keane returns from international duty fit for Western Conference Championship clash with Seattle Sounders FC
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy welcomed back captain Robbie Keane from international duty on Tuesday ahead of this weekend's Western Conference Championship first leg clash with Seattle Sounders FC.
Keane spent the last week with the Republic of Ireland and saw limited second half action in their 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying defeat to Scotland last Friday. The match was the first time that Keane had been left on the substitute's bench for a competitive international match in 13 years.
"I was disappointed with the result which wasn't what [the Irish squad] wanted, but I move on and I'm fully focused on the game on Sunday," Keane said on Tuesday following the team's training session. "[Coming back early] gives me six days to get back into the swing of things for Sunday after the travel back from Europe."
The 34-year-old noted that conversations between the Galaxy coaching staff and the Republic of Ireland allowed Keane to miss out on their 4-1 defeat over the United States on Tuesday. Not only does Keane's return aid in his preparation for the Sounders match, but the Irish striker notes that he is "90-ish percent" back from a left hamstring ailment that plagued him for the last month.
Keane returns to a Galaxy squad that is the midst of their preparations for their clash with a Seattle side that clinched the Supporters' Shield by defeating the Galaxy on Oct. 25 at CenturyLink Field. Although the Galaxy felt the sting of that defeat after the Seattle match, Keane says that loss will have no impact on what happens on Sunday at StubHub Center.
"There's no fear. You can't have fear going into game like this. These are the games that you want to be playing in," Keane said. "We can't change about what happened in the past, but we can change what will happen on Sunday. We have to make sure that we go into the game with the right mentality and not thinking that is revenge.
"This is where we wanted to be. We wanted to have a chance to play for a championship and we have every opportunity to do so."
In my latest top five list for Galaxy TV, I look at the top five playoff moments in LA Galaxy history.

Molson Canadian, TicketMaster brand FanCam and mobile app extension.
The National Hockey League kicked off the start of the Stanley Cup Finals last night with round two of its NHL FanCam. Originally run during the 2012 NHL All-Star Game, the league has brought the 360-degree HD gigapixel photo offering back for games one and three of the Stanley Cup. NHL also plans to extend availability of an iPad mobile app sponsored by Molson Canadian to create more interactivity with the Stanley Cup viewers at home.
The arena-spanning FanCam image - sponsored by TicketMaster - captured fans cheering in the stands at last night's game and should be available for viewing online sometime tonight. In the first bout, the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 in overtime.
The image also features a Hunt for the Cup challenge, allowing fans to search the stands for a hidden image of the Stanley Cup in order to receive a chance to attend the 2013 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium, home of the University of Michigan's Wolverines. Fans average a total of six minutes going through the image, according to the NHL.
After "tagging" family or friends, fans can share the image through email, Twitter, and Facebook. This new approach allows the NHL to continue to strengthen its involvement with social media networks and create a more social experience for not only the fans in attendance but the fans at home. Fans attending this year's NHL All-Star Game also are featured in a FanCam still available online.
By launching a mobile app called the Molson Canadian NHL Preplay for smartphones, the league aims to become more interactive with the fans at home. The predictive gaming app, already available on Apple iPad, lets fans play along with the live NHL game they are watching. Smartphone versions will be launched prior to game two of the Stanley Cup Finals, to be held June 2. Would-be NHL analysts can earn points for correct predictions and challenge friends to compete for trophies.
Pre Play Sports will provide a live data feed to the viewer's phone as they watch the game. The average amount of time spent on the iPad version of the app is over 30 minutes throughout the course of a full 60-minute hockey game, according to Chris Golier, VP of mobile marketing and strategy for the NHL.
"The app is looking to create a marriage of broadcast and mobile," said Golier.
The uncovering of the FanCam and the Preplay app at the Stanley Cup allows the league to test the waters for new and innovative digital media ideas. Expect the NHL to be watching the success of these particular pieces and considering to extend them into next season.

Logjam, encryption wars and tea firm data spills: What we learned in security this week

The internet needs a "cyber fire department" to tackle online issues as and when they arise so that risks found on websites or services do not spread.
Father of the internet and chief internet evangelist for Google, Vint Cerf, made the call during a speech at Telefonica's Campus Party event in London, arguing that a response force would help protect those without the means to defend themselves.
"In the internet environment there are many fires caused by cyber attacks – trojans, malwares, worms, DDOS and so forth – and many small businesses and individuals are not prepared to respond to that, or don't have the capability," he said at the event, attended by V3.
"What we need is a cyber fire department to defend us from attacks – not a cyber police department, as sometimes an issue is just a mistake. However, if it turns out, with evidence, that it was a criminal issue, then you would pass it on to the cyber police, to expand the metaphor."
Cerf also touched on issues around net neutrality, arguing that the internet must remain a free and open place to operate, although he acknowledged that as new and evolving threats emerge there is a need for greater government co-operation.
"While there are lots of technology issues with the expanding internet, the harder problems are around policy as there is a great deal of tension about who is in charge of the internet and who should control its evolution," he said.
"Keeping the internet as open and free from control as possible is very important. But, we do have to cope with abuses on the network and figure out the people harming other people or infrastructures like power grids and transportation, we have to have an international agreement on tackling these abuses."
Speaking more broadly about the future of the internet, Cerf said it was vital that effort is applied to getting people online in new markets such as Africa and the Pacific islands, touting the efforts of Google's own Project Loon as an example of how this could be achieved.
