Three-fourths of residents (74%) in small cities and towns in the United States read a local newspaper ranging from 1 day to 7 days a week; majority of the readers (81%) relied on the newspapers for local news and information, according to the 2011 Community Newspaper Readership Study conducted by The Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) on behalf of National Newspaper Association (NNA) in August and October 2011.
When Jane Stevens was a Reynolds Fellow in 2008-2009, she and a team of students and professors developed a prototype social journalism health news site called HealthCommons. After the fellowship, the Lawrence Journal-World asked her to join the organization as director of media strategies to oversee the company's 15 web sites and to develop a health news site based on HealthCommons. The result was WellCommons, which just won an EPpy. Here's why she thinks -- or hopes -- it won.
A study performed by the RJI Insight and Survey Center found strong ties between newspapers and their communities.
The survey, in its sixth year, shows consistent trends. Readers prefer the printed copy to the online version, with 48 percent saying they never read the local news online.
Breeze Richardson, director of strategic partnerships at Chicago Public Media (WBEZ-Chicago), provides a detailed explanation of how her organization is developing specific metrics to measure a full range of engagement with the community it serves.
The NNA survey said 48 percent of those surveyed never read local news online, and 51 percent preferred getting advertising in the printed newspaper while only 11 percent preferred to see ads on the Internet.
During the last couple of months, most of my posts here have focused on the New Media Journalism Initiative's work with the Block by Block community of independent news publishers.
That's understandable, given how much activity there's been in this aspect of our work. The Block by Block Community News Summit in September was a productive gathering of entrepreneurial publishers, sharing both common problems and potential solutions. Since the news summit, we've been doing some exciting work around financial sustainability. I'm hoping to start sharing details of what we're learning from that effort after the first of the year.
Steven Waldman, who directed the Federal Communications Commission's study of the state of U.S. journalism, delivered the keynote address on Nov. 15 at a day-long symposium on the comprehensive and far-reaching report. Watch the sessions.
Notes and observations from whirlwind visits to MSN Money; a GeekWire meet-up with Zillow founder Rich Barton; Capitol Hill Seattle blog founder Justin Carder; MSNBC; Seattle Times' managers of their local blog network; and editors of the print and digital Puget Sound Business Journal.
Publishers hope their new trade association can help them solve common problems.
As a follow-up to the June release of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) report, "Information Needs of Communities," the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) will host a day-long symposium focusing on the regulations and policy recommendations.
These entrepreneurial publishers are on the front lines of community journalism, and their perspective on corporate efforts such as Patch are valuable ones. That's why Tram Whitehurst, a master's graduate at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, has been collecting their views about the importance of very local news efforts and about how Patch fits into that ecosystem.
These are challenging economic times for all of us. But this is also a time of opportunity for community journalism.
The Missouri School of Journalism, the Reynolds Journalism Institute and the Missouri Press Association put together a conference for community newspaper publishers and editors.
In the emerging landscape of non-profit news, good journalism is not enough. Even with generous foundation support, high-quality reporting alone will not create an organization that can sustain its ability to produce news in the public interest.
The report contains details of the revenue and expenses of the sites as well as their engagement practices. This post focuses on a few highlights of the revenue/expense report.
Over three days last weekend -- Sept. 29-Oct 1 -- more than 100 people gathered for the second Block By Block: Community News Summit. Here is roundup of summit coverage, advice and observations collected from the event.
Survey results from Block By Block: Community News Summit 2011.
Mike Fourcher, publisher of Center Square Journal in Chicago, announced today he and 20 other publishers have formed the Independent Local Online News Publishers Trade Group (unofficial, working title) during talks at this year's Block by Block Community News Summit.

Corey Patterson in to pinch hit. Love it.
Patterson hitting for Volquez.
David Riske in to pitch.
Firstly, Only Bray is warming up (for Fielder), and I don't like the matchup of Hardy vs. the LH pitcher.
And even if Burton was warming, I don't like the idea of burning Burton for one batter if Hardy reaches. I ceertainly want Bray vs. Fielder.
I'm honestly shocked that Patterson's batting average is .191. I had no idea it was that high.
Corey for Edinson is a rare case of pinch hitting a weaker bat for the pitcher
He had Weathers warming up....I imagine since the pitcher spot was up in the 8th.
Patterson flies out to left. 1 out.
What would it take for Corey to get cut? Maybe he should start hanging out with Chris Henry.
Hairston ropes a double to left. Destroyed that one.
Hairston doubles down the left field line. 3 hits and has been on base all 4 times tonight.
i like this hariston guy!
there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.
Ricky henderson has a higher OBP than C. patterson and he's retired. C. Trent 6-14-2008
Thom Brennamen is absolutely awesome in the booth. I would love if he would do every game.
As long as Hairston is producing like this, he should be left out of Dusty's "rotation" of sitting certain players.

It was a gorgeous winter day. Chilly temperatures were made bearable by lots of sunshine and blue skies streaked with a few wispy, white clouds. We turned left off of U.S. 250, working our way down a long drive into Old Trail Village, an attractive new-urbanist community, to grab a late lunch at da Luca Café and Wine Bar. Still under development, the town center area has one retail complex dotted with health care offices, gym, a few eateries and a coffee shop.
At 1 p.m. on a Friday, we were the only diners in the restaurant. Olive-chartreuse walls, cement floors, industrial pendants and eclectic art made the space modern. Warm wooden tables and booths, walls of wine, and a communal high-top table for 12 made it seem welcoming even without patrons.
The owner, Domenico DAuria, happens to also be in the construction business hence the beautiful space and is Italian, hence the flair for Mediterranean tapas and secret family recipes for tiramisu on the da Luca menu.
The dinner menu is filled with an amazing and lengthy selection of small plates for a tiny restaurant. Breads, focaccia and bruschetta. Olives, almonds, and piquillo peppers. Romesco sauce, roasted veggies, risottos, and raviolis. Cheese and charcuterie. Tuna, mussels, clams, and shrimp. Spaghetti, polenta and gnocchi. And all between $2 and $14.
But lunch is something altogether different, apparently. Soups, salads, panini and burgers only. I was disappointed to not have the tapas options and faced yet again with relatively standard, albeit tasty, lunch selections. We started by sharing the baked goat cheese salad ($9) with coriander-encrusted grapes, ginger pecans, and white balsamic vinaigrette. It was a nice size to share, and even what appeared to be a fairly small medallion of breaded and baked goat cheese turned out to be the right amount. A nice start to the meal, even though the roasted grapes tasted more of onion than coriander, and the balsamic didnt appear to be of the white variety.
We followed the salad with a balsamic steak panini ($9) with strips of tender beef, smothered in creamy, pungent gorgonzola, and topped with roasted onions. (Hmmm, maybe the roasted grapes shared the same oven.) Adorable with the crusts cut off and delicious with a side of Route 11 lightly salted potato chips.
We also ordered a chef burger ($10), a small burger cooked medium and topped with garlicky artichoke gratin and crisp prosciutto. Instead of chips on the side, we chose a small cup of the housemade soup, an excellent and rich red pepper bisque that I couldnt stop eating and was, on its own, worth the visit.
Convinced to try the owners aforementioned family recipe for tiramisu, we followed our lunch by sharing the parfait-style version of the traditional Italian dessert, polishing it off embarrassingly quickly. It was light and ridiculously smooth.
Opting to not order coffee with our tiramisu, we instead popped next door to Trailside Coffee (another place worth checking out) and took 16-ounce café au laits back on the road to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day.
I will definitely go back for dinner sometime to try the tapas and some of the 40-plus wines they have on their list. They also serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a similar menu to the regular lunch one supplemented with French toast, omelets and benedicts. But for now, Ill be perfectly content with my very lovely winters day lunch at da Luca Café and Wine Bar.

Kwey! Perhaps as a reflection of our beautifully complex world, my voyage has been deliciously varied. I am interested in the emotional and social implications of environmental injustice. I also study the experiences of allies within indigenous-led environmental justice struggles.
Keyyana Blount
Focal Department: Biology
I grew up in Waldorf, Maryland, and extended suburb of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. As a resident of the Chesapeake Bay, I became intrigued with environmental health and ecology. This interest, among others, lead me to Salisbury University where I received my B.A. in Environmental Studies, with a minor in Biology. This program trained me to adopt an interdisciplinary lens while examining complex environmental issues, drawing on both the traditional sciences and the humanities. At Salisbury University I also completed a two year undergraduate fellowship with the EPA. The fellowship included an internship at the EPA Atlantic Ecology Division lab in Narragansett, RI. There, I worked alongside a post-doctorate student studying the climate change effects on coastal wetland plants.
My research interests include ecosystem ecology, restoration ecology, wetland ecology, climate change, environmental policy, and natural resource management. . I hope to eventually work at the interface between science, policy and management. I am particularly interested in examining the effects of climate change on ecosystem processes and health, concentrating on coastal regions.
Tim Christion Myers
Focal Department: Philosophy
My research interests have always encompassed the social, cultural, and philosophical factors influencing our collective relationship to the socio-ecological world. My B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies at UC Berkeley under the direction of Carolyn Merchant drew on the social sciences and humanities (e.g. sociology, anthropology, and philosophy) to investigate how Western culture understands and reasons about its relationship to nature. My M.A. in Philosophy (with a concentration in Environmental Ethics) at The University of North Texas continued this line of research. Working under J. Baird Callicott, I critiqued the wilderness concept while attempting an ecofeminist and phenomenological synthesis in defense of a "dialogical" or "partnership" model of the human relationship to nature. Today, I am most interested in the philosophy of nature, social theory, the ethical and political aspects of climate change, the phenomenology of climate denial, and the social and cultural factors influencing political movements. My dissertation project examines the socio-cultural and existential challenges inhibiting the kind of grassroots movement I believe necessary to effectively address climate change. Courses I have solo-taught include "Environmental Ethics" (Winter 2012, Summer 2012, Fall 2013), "Environmental Humanities" (Summer 2013), "Environmental Philosophy" (Fall 2014), and "Climate Ethics, Climate Justice" (Winter 2014, Winter 2015). In addition to my academic experience, I have worked in environmental education (I love introducing youth to the natural world), and my interests include birding, backpacking, mushroom hunting, and spending quality time with my wife Jen.
Sierra Deutsch
Focal Department: Sociology
Research Interests: Marine conservation in developing countries, human dimensions, veterinary medicine
When people ask where I'm from, I never know how to answer. My life started out on the east coast where I grew up in New Jersey. Then I headed to the west coast where I received a B.S. in 2002 from Humboldt State University, Arcata, California. My majors were marine biology and zoology with a minor in women's studies and a veterinary medicine focus. After taking some time off to travel, I headed to the Gulf coast to earn an M.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M University. My Master's research was conducted in New Zealand, so I also lived there for 9 months.
My research experience has mostly been in conservation and behavioral ecology in the form of field studies on marine mammals. I have studied grey whales and harbor seals in California, right whales in South Carolina, sperm whales in the Gulf of Mexico, and dusky dolphins in New Zealand. I also have a long-standing interest in traveling, human culture, and psychology.
For my dissertation, I'm interested in the encouragement of sustainable use of marine resources in developing countries in such a way as to include locals in the policy-making process and provide jobs for them. I am a seasoned traveler and have spent a good deal of time in developing countries, particularly in SE Asia, southern Africa, and Central America. The stunning natural resources and rich cultural diversity of these countries have led to my desire to find a way to preserve both.
Aside from traveling, I enjoy running, biking, hiking, backpacking trips, horseback riding, surfing, swimming, SCUBA diving, and dancing. After a few years on flat land, I'm really excited to return to the mountains.

Focal Department: English
Concentration areas: Ecology and Geography
My research and teaching are currently focused on the forms that toxicity takes in the contemporary world (including radioactive waste, e-waste, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors) as well as the forms that represent it in environmental narratives and popular culture (what ecocritic Lawrence Buell calls «toxic discourse»). I am particularly interested in how we treat and think about landscapes that have been irrevocably scarred by military and industrial activities. My comprehensive exam project will focus on the environmental and ethical implications of converting former nuclear sites into wildlife refuges.The work I have done so far at UO has helped me to develop my interests in 19th and 20th century American literature, environmental justice ecocriticism, indigenous environmental movements, community ecology, food politics, ecological collapse, and the Hanford nuclear site. I enjoy thinking about what it means to do truly «interdisciplinary» work that takes multiple perspectives, methodologies and theoretical lenses into account.
When left to my own devices, I enjoy reading Alice Munro stories, sleeping near the banks of the Metolius River, trying new recipes, studying William L. Sullivan's hiking guides, listening to fiddle music, and playing with dogs and children. My heroines include Patricia Nelson Limerick and Rebecca Solnit.
I'm interested in sharing ideas and syllabi with other teachers of Environmental Studies (especially those who specialize in the environmental humanities) so please get in touch if you're interested in a pedagogical swap.

Focal Department: Geography
I am a farmer from Senegal, West Africa, a country confronted with multiple environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural problems due in part to the loss of traditional survival skills and climate change. The traditional rain-fed subsistence farming is now in jeopardy due to increased population density and unpredictable weather patterns exposing farmers to crop failures. I hope to address these problems by applying sustainable agroforestry techniques to improve livestock conditions, increase crop production and diversity, and thus mitigate climate change to enhance overall quality of life in the Sahel.I completed my BS in Conservation and Resource Studies at UC, Berkeley with an emphasis on Sustainable Agriculture.Before joining the UO, I have done extensive community development work in West Africa, especially Senegal and The Gambia, as well as in the US, the Bay Area – California. At the University of Oregon, I earned my MA in International Studies, with an emphasis on development studies and agrarian change, exploring Agroforestry and food security in the Sahel.
For my dissertaion, I intend to look further into the interplay between indigenous heritage and applied agro-forestry (on-farm experiments) in stressed environments to mitigate climate change and improve agricultural productions.

Focal Department: Philosophy
I grew up in the suburbs of San Jose, CA and started my academic career at a local community college. I completed a B.A. in Philosophy with a minor in Classical Studies at UC Santa Cruz and continued at the same institution as an M.A. student. I wrote my Master's paper under David Hoy and Abraham Stone on the concepts of truth and appropriation in Martin Heidegger.After UCSC I took 3 years off from school and co-founded a non-profit in northeastern Arizona in the Navajo Nation. Our main focus is to provide opportunities for the local community to participate meaningfully with its own ecology. We do this through sustainable agriculture, permaculture, landscaping, land restoration, plant propagation, and vocational programs. Here is our website: www.sunriseschool.org.My current philosophical interest is the confluence of phenomenology, ecology, pedagogy (especially Dewey) and the critique of political economy, attempting to practice these disciplines in solidarity with women, children, minorities, and the non-human biotic community. I'm particularly interested in how changes in perception, education, art, relations to geography, and economic forces can be leveraged simultaneously to grow thriving communities and places.
In my spare time I enjoy beekeeping, gardening, mushroom hunting, dancing, and talking with friends.

Focal Department: English
A native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I've spent most of my adult life at St. Mary's College of Maryland, which is located in Historic St. Mary's City, on the banks of the St. Mary's River in St. Mary's County. The location made up for its lack of name diversity by excellently accommodating my obsessions with fishing, kayaking, sailing and otherwise being outdoors near some water. Other penchants I bring cross country are good coffee, books, birding and biking. My BA is in English; after graduating I worked coordinating sustainable initiatives at my alma mater, such as starting a small organic-practice farm, energy efficiency programs and environmental education, and I have also worked registering voters. My research interests focus on the ways "environmental" issues are identified, misidentified or not identified, and portrayed in mass media and literature. Fueled by my travels in Africa and South America especially, I am also interested in the effects of so called "eco-tourism" on the Global South, and sustainable development.
Sonja Kolstoe
Focal Department: Economics
Research Interests: Non-market valuation, environmental sustainability, welfare effects of Pigouvian taxes and their implications for externalities; the impact of policy decisions on efforts to maintain and restore ecosystems.
My current research is a non-market valuation study about the influence of seasonal bird populations on the value of bird watching destinations to bird watchers. I am developing a model to estimate the marginal values of attributes of bird watching sites, including the numbers and types of birds observed. This model will make it possible to address the potential welfare effects of processes such as urbanization and climate change that may impact bird watching opportunities. Compared to plant populations and terrestrial animals, birds are highly mobile and thus provide a unique way to observe more immediate responses to environmental changes in their habitat areas. These changes can be valued indirectly by observing the choices among alternative destinations by bird watchers and controlling for a measure of the travel costs people are willing to incur to be able to see different types or numbers of birds.I grew up in Western Washington State and enjoyed the beauty and many outdoor recreational opportunities the region provides. My childhood was filled with outdoor recreational outings, primarily hiking and skiing. The biology, chemistry and marine biology courses I took in high school inspired me to pursue a B.S. in Biology at Washington State University (WSU). While there, I joined the Ray Lee Laboratory and completed my undergraduate Honors Thesis, "The Symbiont Community of the Scale-Worm Lepidonotopodium Piscesae."
For my UNLV Master's thesis I worked with Dr. Mary Riddel on Risk Preferences. I used Cumulative Prospect Theory to compare subjects' risk preferences in the financial and health domains using self-identifying groups: a student control group and three different recreational sport groups: rock climbers, SCUBA divers and Porsche Club of America members. The findings suggest that risk preferences are best indicated by group affiliation and differences in risk preferences between the financial and health domains are primarily driven by differences in probability weighting.

As a native of Orange County, California, I can remember smelling orange trees from my backyard as a child. Now, all that remains of oranges is their titular role. I'd like to spin this into some elaborate metaphor about my interests in Environmental Studies and Literature, but the only real connection is that I wanted to leave Southern California as soon as I graduated from high school. From there, I went to UC Davis, where I was first educated and made aware of environmental issues in an academic realm (the real first exposure probably came from Captain Planet or that owl that taught me to "give a hoot.") From there, I moved to New York City, earned my MS in Education, taught 8th grade in the Bronx and then worked in a non-profit educational reform organization. Each step along the way made me consider my interests and passions, and I left Brooklyn for Eugene, exchanging one version of "wild and scenic" for another. Here, I worked on my MA in English, focusing on literature and the environment, which then propelled me to pursue a PhD with the emphases slightly reversed (but only slightly). I'm interested in Western American literature/literature of the American West and its overlap with policy and cultural conceptions of these environments.I enjoy the out-of-doors, whether it's by bike, boat, board or boots. I also like Westerns. Finally, I think that the Arnold Palmer is the greatest drink ever created.

Focal Department: Geography
Through interdisciplinary work in environmental studies and geography I aspire to understand ways in which concepts of nature are produced and environmental issues are problematized. At present, my research interests focus on the following:
- the relationships between public space and political-cultural economies and how the relationship with the material engages a relationship with the political, specifically around urban public spaces;
- the social production of nature and the relationship between social systems of power and relationships with nature;
- cultural landscapes, particularly conceptions of land as commons and as sacred, as compared with conceptions of land as resource or commodity; and
- philosophy of nature and environmental ethics in general, including their applications to and relays with each of the fields listed above.
I plan to begin deeper study around conceptions of nature/human relationships within Buddhist philosophy this fall (2013).
My professional background is in urban planning and sustainable urban development, including open space planning and development. For a number of years I studied and experimented with engagement with the built environment through informal urban development and unplanned interventions in public spaces. I moved to Oregon in 2007 and completed a master's degree and certificates in urban planning, design and development at Portland State University. Before that, I worked in Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a few NGOs, including the Center for Resilient Cities, where I helped to develop outdoor public spaces, including restored natural areas, community gardens, green school grounds and city parks. My roots remain firmly connected to the wooded hillsides of northeast Iowa.

Focal Department: Biology
I'm a dirt-loving, microbe-evangelizing, nerdy scientist farmer. I love a good story and I think life's evolutionary story is the greatest of them all. I'm particularly interested in the role that microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) play in our ongoing evolutionary story. It's not an easy tale to tell from the data, and the plot has many layers, but the unfolding story challenges the way we perceive the world around us. It makes us ask a wealth of different questions we would never think to ask, such as, "if 9 of 10 cells of our body are microorganisms, are we an ecosystem, too?" Also, the microbial story may change the ways in which we act.After completing an undergraduate thesis in theoretical biochemistry (B.A. in biology and chemistry at Willamette University), I decided to find a more practical focus – agricultural ecology. I spent two and a half years in the Netherlands (Wageningen University), carrying out an experiment to figure out how earthworms interact with soil microorganisms, and taking classes to earn a M.S. in Soil Quality. I interned on a coffee farm in Chiapas, Mexico to ask similar questions about ground-dwelling ants, and their benefits to natural processes in the agroecosystem in which they reside.For my PhD, I ask the question, how can we team up with microorganisms for more sustainable, adaptive agricultural ecosystems? I hope this question will be answered by farmers and gardeners, who are constantly interacting with microbes of the soil, and microbes that inhabit the plants they grow, ever affecting plant health and resilience. As microorganisms get passed along in the seed of the plant, they may play a profound role in the inheritance of a plant's microorganisms over time. I'd like to see how much of a role farmers already play in the evolutionary process of microbial inheritance, and whether they want to engage more deliberately with these complex, vibrant microbial communities.

Live for the moments that take your breath away!
Hey guys! My name is Amanda. I grew up in Wyoming and moved down here to OKC for work. First off.. family is the most important thing to me and holy cow do we have fun together! I miss being around them every day. Life is way too short to be serious all the time so I'm not afraid to be myself and act like a goofball! I really enjoy playing sports and being outdoors, so I am definitely not a high maintenence kind of girl. Don't get me wrong, I can rock some heels or boots on a Friday night but Im not scared to be "one of the guys"! I will absolutely choose doing something active over getting my nails done. I am looking for someone who has a big heart! I find guys that are motivated and know what they want in life attractive. I work very hard at what I do, so I need someone who feels the same way about their goals. I grew up in the country, so meeting someone who can enjoy the simple things in life and isnt afraid to get dirty would be a plus. I want a guy that I can do anything with from running the court, to watching a sappy chick flick, to exploring the outdoors, to going to church on Sunday! I really don't plan on rushing into anything, just looking for the right guy. I am an independent woman and I know that I can take care of myself. I just want a best friend to share life with!

North Dakota's 2013 moose, elk and bighorn sheep proclamation is finalized and applications are available at the State Game and Fish Department's website. The deadline for applying is March 27.
A total of 111 moose licenses are available in 2013, 32 fewer than last year.
Randy Kreil, Game and Fish Department wildlife chief, said a downward population trend in the northeastern portion of the state is of great concern. "Unit M1C will remain closed," Kreil said, "and in addition, unit M4, which encompasses the Turtle Mountains, is also closed this year."
In 2012, unit M4 had only seven moose licenses, Kreil added, with only two moose harvested.
Game and Fish is also making a couple of other changes designed to bolster the moose population. All licenses this year are for "any moose," while in previous years some were specific to antlerless moose. "We think that the 'any' tags will protect the cow segment of the population," Kreil said, "as records indicate most hunters choose to fill their 'any' tags with a bull rather than a cow."
The moose season in units M8, M9 and M10 will open a week later than in previous years to avoid the peak of the rut. Data collected over the last year indicates a number of unbred cows were documented in those units, Kreil said, and opening the season a week later in October may improve breeding success by reducing disturbance during the peak of the mating season.
A total of 261 elk licenses are available to hunters this fall, 40 fewer than last year.
The number of elk licenses in units E3 and E4 is reduced by 40 due to the successful population reduction effort by the National Park Service in Theodore Roosevelt National Park's south unit. A total of 937 elk – 701 adult cows – were taken out of the park by the reduction effort, and an additional 363 elk were taken by licensed hunters in E3 and E4 during the last three hunting seasons. Based on a recent elk survey, the estimated number of elk in the park is below 200, Kreil said.
On the positive side, elk unit E1 has been expanded to include parts of the Turtle Mountains, due to a growing elk population largely attributed to animals migrating in from Canada.
The bighorn sheep season will have four licenses available, the same as last year. One license is available in units B1/B2, B3 and B4. In addition, one license is auctioned through the Midwest Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation. The bighorn sheep hunter drawing the license in units B1/B2 is eligible to hunt both units.
To apply online, access the Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov. Paper applications will be available on the website (for printing) and at license vendors the week of March 11.
Bighorn sheep, moose and elk lottery licenses are issued as once-in-a-lifetime licenses in North Dakota. Hunters who have received a license through the lottery in the past are not eligible to apply for that species again.

Literally, YEARS!
Just check the respective Firefox Support topic@MozillaZine: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2012225 and you'll get the picture...
Why the *official* Firefox Developers didn't even consider changing this is beyond me - especially when it's integral part in every other web browser...
So, hats off to you V@no, this little tweak of yours certainly deserves a 5★ rating!
And to all other users (currently 503) who have this add-on installed, a request if I may:
Maybe then it will become a built-in feature as it SHOULD rather than an extension.
Don't want to sound harsh, but the absence of a keyboard shortcut renders it useless.
Just count the steps you have to follow in order to load a URL.
Assuming you have already copied the link you must:
1. Move the cursor on one of the bars/tabs
2. Right click
3. Scroll down and pick it
4. Click again
Now if you would please indulge me and compare it with the -no longer supported- "Paste and Go 3" [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/paste-and-go-3/]
*Your custom keyboard shortcut* [e.g Ctrl+Shift+v] = > Paste & Go - ONE STEP!
*Your custom keyboard shortcut* [e.g Ctrl+Shift+s] = > Paste & Search - ONE STEP!
When it comes to convenience, there is NO comparison as to which is better.
Unless of course you're one of those types who, in order to save a file, would rather move the mouse to File tab and pick Save instead of merely pressing Ctrl+S.
Until someone manages to create such an add-on, I'm sticking with the *modified* version of "Paste and Go 3 1.0.5"
Zulkarnain K., your efforts and time you've spent developing this plug-in are greatly appreciated, that goes without saying.

DoD software assurance for electric sector security?
By Andy Bochman
Behold the electric sector software supply chain. It includes:
· The code that comes with the systems you procure: IT, OT, mobile, smart meters, etc.
· The code that your developers buy or borrow and use as part of their software development lifecycle (SDLC)
· The code developed, bought or borrowed by integrators you've hired
· The code your personnel download in the form of patches
· Other code that's crept in through the cracks, including code you didn't intend to procure, like the malware you've detected and removed
· ... and the malware resident on your systems that you don't know about yet
The U.S. Department of Defense has been thinking about this for a long time, and recently codified a pretty robust response in the form of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2013.
Would this help remove vulnerabilities and substantially bolster security in our sector? You bet. Could it ever come to pass. That I don't know. But let's watch how it works in DoD, learn some lessons, and see what we can use.
Here's the article in NextGov on this. Hat tip to my federal colleague, Tim F., for shooting this my way.
Andy Bochman is author of the Smart Grid Security Blog and an Energy Security Lead for IBM's Rational division, where the focus is on securing the software that runs the smart grid. Andy is a contributor to industry and national security working groups on energy security and cyber security. He lives in Boston, is an active member of the MIT Energy Club, and is the founder of the Smart Grid Security and DOD Energy Blogs.

Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas Review

About Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas
The myth of Atlantis goes back to the dialogues of Greek philosopher Plato, who told a legend of an advanced island civilization somewhere west of the Mediterranean Sea that went on a binge conquering European countries until it suddenly and mysteriously sunk into the sea some 11,000 years ago. The myth has been used a springboard for all kinds of utopian philosophers and contemporary science fiction writers, who have envisioned Atlantis as an enlightened society that fell victim to foreign invaders or natural calamity. With that kind of romantic history, it was only a matter of time before someone set about to recreate Atlantis for real.
That journey began back in 1994 when hotel developer Saul Kerzer bought up several hotels owned by Merv Griffin on the sliver of Paradise Island, directly off Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. There he set about creating a soaring new pink hotel surrounded by lagoons and aquariums filled with all kinds of exotic sea life, all set within the ruined palaces and courtyards of the supposed mythical city of Atlantis. An elaborate water park, two more hotels, and a marina village all followed over the next few years, making the complex the top family vacation resort in the Caribbean and one of the most popular family theme parks in the world.
The resort is less an evocation of a ruined ancient city than it is an unholy combination of Disney and Vegas perched on the azure blue of the Caribbean. The initial experience is nothing short of overwhelming, with a seemingly endless maze of hotels, beaches, pools, aquariums and waterslides all circling around the soaring trademark pink towers, connected by a bridge that forms the center of the resort. Once you get your bearings, however, it's easy to literally find something for every age group and interest, from thrilling inner tube roller coasters to elaborate kiddie pools; from casual outdoor eateries to restaurants helmed by some of the world's best-known celebrity chefs (Nobu, Jean-Gorges and Bobby Flay among them); from adults-only casinos and nightclubs to one of the best kids' programs anywhere in the world.
To orient yourself in the resort, it's best to think of it as an interconnected line of five hotels with the marina in the middle -- from north to south, the resort starts with the Beach Tower and Coral Towers, the original hotels on the property; next comes the Royal Towers, the iconic main hotel; and the marina with its Harborside Village timeshares and shops. Finally, in the last two years the resort has dramatically expanded with two entirely new hotels, The Cove and The Reef, designed to appeal to more sophisticated clientele.
Along with the newest hotels came an entirely new water park complex in which the various slides and pools are all connected by a river raft system allowing visitors young and old to explore the attractions without ever leaving the water. Other highlights include a dolphin park where guests can literally swim with dolphins; a shark tank where they can walk among sharks with the help of a trained diver; and the recreation of the partially submerged city of Atlantis at the core of the resort, transformed into an 11-million gallon fish tank filled with giant manta rays, groupers, and other impressive giant fish.
Of course, despite the endless variety and excitement of the resort, it does have its drawbacks. For one thing, for a resort that is so much about the ocean, the real thing is hardly to be seen -- the layout of Atlantis is all focused inward, on the hotels and pools, with few good ocean views aside from the hotel rooms and irregular beach access. Also, apart from the exceptional central Atlantis exhibit, the theme of the resort is irregularly applied, with some parts looking like any other Caribbean resort, and some elements, such as the Mayan Temple, seemingly tacked on without any real thought to cultural integration (a breezy explanation that the Mayans were thought to be related to the Atlanteans fails to convince).
More practically, this is not a cheap vacation -- room rates are hefty at any time of year, and food is especially expensive, with few low-priced options on the resort itself and no easy way to venture off-property to find cheaper options. (Families on a budget, however, can opt to stay in a kitchenette at the Reef, choose the lower-priced Beach Tower or Coral Towers, or book a room at the Comfort Suites off Marina Village, which grants access to all Atlantis attractions.) There is also a fair amount of nickel-and-diming that takes place, such as charges for the fitness center and kids programs that are included at other resorts, and eye-popping extra charges for activities such as swimming with dolphins and sharks. Even so, the overall experience of Atlantis is so unique, it's literally not one you will find anywhere else in the world. If you can set aside a hefty budget for the trip and not think about money, this is an once-in-a-lifetime vacation many families remember as one of their best vacations ever.

The layering is a little tricky. It helps to have a layering tool. Be sure to layer the liqueurs in the correct order as the specific gravities of each ingredient are important to keep the layers separated.

What do you say? Am I safe?
Note: I am actually considering on upgrading to two GTX 680/780s (whatever they decide to call them) when they are released. I am trying to get an idea if my power supply is up to the job by seeing if it can handle my 3930K and two GTX 580s since they probably have similar power consumption.
As long as you aren't pushing overclocking too far you should be fine.

|Kudlow & Company
Kudlow & Cramer was a CNBC American business and politics television program with conservative Lawrence Kudlow and liberal Jim Cramer. The program initially replaced Hardball with Chris Matthews, which moved to sister channel MSNBC, for the 8 p.m. Eastern Time slot, but later moved to the 5 p.m. slot.
The show replaced the short-lived CNBC show America Now, which began with a rotating set of hosts and ended with Kudlow and Cramer as the two co-hosts. CNBC then created a show specifically for the two; the ordering of the name was picked via a coin toss at the end of the last America Now episode.
Kudlow & Cramer had high TV ratings in comparison to other CNBC shows, after CNBC's TV ratings went down because of the negativity of the dot-com bubble burst and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S.[citation needed]
The program last aired on February 11, 2005, before it was split into Kudlow & Company, which first aired February 14, and Mad Money, which replaced Dylan Ratigan's Bullseye on March 14 of the same year.

42 year old woman | Brooklyn, NY, USA | Seeking men 37-44 within 50 miles
Active within 3 days
This is who I am. You could like it or not.
My friends say I'm funny, easy to talk to, laid back and a little stubborn, sarcastic, weird, blunt, silly, sweet, sexy, sassy, and have a good heart. So far, life at 42 is fabulous. I enjoy playing poker, trips to Atlantic City, wine tasting, checking out new places in Brooklyn, spending time with friends and family. I like outdoorsy things, like camping, hiking, walking, bocce ball league. I enjoy going out for some drinks with my friends, but I really like staying in and having wine, dinner, games, at my place. I work as a Licensed Massage Therapist. I've been an LMT for 8 years now and changing careers has been one of the best changes I ever made in my life. I absolutely love what I do.I'm looking to meet new people and make new friends. Would ultimately like to have a relationship, but I also dont need to have a boyfriend so Im not lonely, nor am I looking for a f buddy. I'm looking for somebody who has a great sense of humor, a good heart, honest,confident, but not full of himself, and likes to have fun. Somebody who gets me and is good to me. Somebody who can bring out the best of in me, and hopefully I can do the same. Somebody I can make laugh, who can look at me like I'm the craziest (in a good way) person. I like a guy who is driven, motivated and knows what he wants in life...somebody who isn't afraid to express himself or show affection or to move on with the possibility of a new relationship, yet somebody who isn't uber-sensitive and babyish. I am not looking for someone to support me financially. I was brought up to take care of myself. Somebody who doesn't spend life pissing and moaning over trivial things. Such a turn off when a guy is girlier than you are. We're all damaged goods, all have been hurt...move on, mofo!! Cuddles are bonus. Chemistry is a must. I'm all for meeting new people and making new friends, but as far as starting up a relationship, you have to have that spark. Creeps looking to just get laid need not apply. Cheers, mofos!

Locally I like to hang in Bay Ridge, but I'm not a fan of the 3rd Ave dumb guido scene. Like Downtown Brooklyn, Astoria and of course, Manhattan. I haven't been the biggest traveler, but Im a fan of Vegas Baby and anywhere that's tropical
My nephews, my 2 kittens, massage, yoga, a nice glass of wine, a cold beer, laughs, fuzzy socks, good times with good buds, I love classic rock, disco, 90s. My favorite band is Foo Fighters and my favorite singer is Madonna. Deal with it

The primary story is entertaining however the degree of character development is what truly shores it up. The conflict between Buzz and Woody is taken deeper than this and, when confronted through the truth of his standing like a toy, Buzz's turmoil is quite true as opposed to him staying a cartoon character and absolutely nothing extra.

text: The computing power of a quantum computer grows exponentially with its size. Hence, the simulation of quantum computers and quantum algorithms by means of using (classical) computer require high performance facilities. Currently, the record is the simulation of a 42-qubit implementation of Shor's factoring algorithm capable of factoring 15707=113x139, done in the Jülich supercomputer JUGENE (with almost 300,000 processors and a computing power of one quadrillion floating-point operations per second). Such simulations are very important in order to determine the effect of decoherence in the future quantum computers. This talk will summarize current state of the art.'
