Deputies: Man stabs son, baby's mom to death
NEAR PHILOMATH, Ore. -- Authorities say he killed his one year old baby along with the mother of his child. Now 20-year-old Gustavo David Martinez Aquepuncho faces three aggravated murder charges for the double homicide near Philomath.
Authorities are continuing the investigation after finding the bodies of 19-year-old Kelsey Baker and their one year old son Theo inside a home after they were both stabbed to death. Neighbors tell KVAL News police arrived at the house Friday evening around 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. Neighbors say Kelsey Baker and the suspect were house guests at the residence for about a month.
Baker was a 2009 graduate of Philomath High School. Neighbors say Aquepuncho was an exchange student who moved to Oregon when he was in high school.
According to the Oregon Revised Statues, Aquepuncho faces three aggravated murder charges for allegedly killing two separate victims during the same crime and because one of the victims of the intentional homicide was under 14 years old.
"There will be one count of aggravated murder filed in regards to the death of Kelsey Baker. There will be one count also filed with respect to the death of baby Theo. There will be an alternative county separate theory for baby Theo based on the age," said Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson.
"By Oregon law, if you commit the crime of murder and the victim is under 14 years of age -- and in this case baby Theo was one-year-old -- than that constitutes aggravated murder," Haroldson said. Haroldson also said committing more than one death in the same "criminal episode" also constitutes aggravated murder.
Neither Haroldson nor the Benton County Sheriff's Office would say when or where authorities arrested Aquepuncho. According to the Benton County Sheriff's Office, "deputies responding to a call found two people dead in a home near Philomath." Authorities would not say why deputies were called to the home initially.
Aquepuncho faces arraignment Monday in Benton County. Aggravated murder carries a maximum sentence of the death penalty, but Haroldson says it's too early in the investigation to determine if his office will seek that punishment.

Timothy S. Dobe (2005). Associate Professor of Religious Studies. B.A., University of New Hampshire; M.Div., Princeton Theological Seminary; Th.D., Harvard Divinity School.
Timothy Dobe joined the Department of Religious Studies upon earning his Th.D. in Comparative Religion from Harvard Divinity School. While teaching the full range of courses in the department, he has worked hard at designing or revitalizing the South Asian and Islamic elements of its curriculum. He takes care in his teaching to integrate theoretical and critical concerns with the specific content of a given course. He makes frequent use of images central to his pedagogy, not only as course content and as methodological training for students learning to "read" images, but also as a tool to stimulate and focus class discussions. His syllabi are structured to keep students' attention on a course's overall goals. He has team-taught, twice, an interdisciplinary course on Gandhi with Professor Shuchi Kapila of the English department.
Professor Dobe's scholarship focuses on the transformation of religious traditions in the global milieu, grounded in studies of colonial South Asia. He has written on the importance of the local context in understanding religion, especially to avoid importing Christian-based categories into the understanding of other religious traditions. His articles are published in the premier peer-reviewed journals in religious studies. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research in India in 2009-10. His first book manuscript is currently under consideration at a major university press. It uses close examination of the careers of two late nineteenth and early twentieth century Indian religious figures, Rama Tirtha and Sundar Singh, to examine how religious traditions and practices emerge, develop, and respond to the challenges of modernity. Reviewers have described him as a pioneer in the study of global religion.
His service to Grinnell College has included membership on the Center for International Studies Advisory Board and on the Cultural Films and Instructional Support Committees. He has helped organize several all-campus concerts and film showings. Professor Dobe has been especially active in building an exchange relationship between Grinnell College and Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, where he was among the first to teach as part of the new joint program. Finally, he has also been active in building Middle Eastern Studies at Grinnell.

Dinner with the President: A Nation's Journey
2007. Pakistan. Directed by Sabiha Sumar, Sachithanandam Sathananthan. With Pervez Musharraf. Sumar and Sathananthan's documentary/diary interweaves personal reflection, an intimate dinner with former President Musharraf, and testimonials from culturally conflicted Pakistanis of various classes: upper-class fashion designers, beach-bumming bourgeois teens, tribal religious heads, peasant families, activists, and even the president's mother. What emerges is a portrait of a country struggling with its paradoxes, caught between stringent tradition and freewheeling globalization. Autocrats defend democracy, drunken revelers holler for their militaristic president, and conservative rural men tell the female documentarians, "We look at you and wish we could be like you." The resulting film is an extraordinary example of visual reportage that includes rare footage of Pakistan's election process, the violent response to the return of Benazir Bhutto, and an unprecedented personal portrait of Musharraf. In Urdu, English; English subtitles. 82 min.

During the early evening hours on June 10, Carbon residents will have the opportunity to view a partial eclipse of the sun, the last to be visible from Utah for 10 years.
For observers at locations within Utah, the eclipse will run from around 6:15 to 8 p.m. Maximum eclipse will occur at approximately 7:15 p.m., when about half of the sun will be covered.
Partial eclipses occur when part of the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking off part of the light.
"This particular eclipse will be much more visible that the one we had last year," said Utah NASA solar system ambassador Patrick Wiggins.
"Everyone should be careful not to look directly at the sun during the eclipse or any other time since permanent eye damage may result. It's also not safe to use items such as polarizing materials, color photographic film, smoked glass, or sunglasses since they do not provide protection from the harmful portions of the sun's light," stressed Wiggins.
Safe, inexpensive solar eclipse filters are available through the mail and from various local retailers.
Number 14 welders glasses also make a safe sun filter.
An even less expensive way to view the eclipse is with a sunbox. Punch a pinhole in one side of an ordinary box. Position the box so the light passes through the pinhole and forms a small image of the sun on the opposite inside wall.
"When using a sunbox, you should only watch the projected image. Do not look through the pinhole at the sun," warned Wiggin.
The next eclipse of the sun to be visible from Utah will not occur until 2012. But Utahns will see two total eclipses of the moon next year and a third in 2004.

The price of gold began to rise when markets opened today, as the value of the metal increased against the dollar due to hopes that Europe will make some progress on its debt debacle, The Street reported.
According to the news outlet, the price of gold for December delivery, the most actively traded contract, rose $4.70 to $1,715.50 an ounce.
This increase in price continued the metal's climb skywards, as gold experienced a "monster rally" at the beginning of the week. It rose 1.5 percent because of strong stock data coming out of the U.S., possibly influenced by Black Friday sales.
"Further pockets of bargain hunting and safe-haven related buying will help support the gold in the coming sessions," James Moore, research analyst at FastMarkets.com, told The Street. "But as a whole we expect the recent trend of mixed volatile trade to continue with the metals vulnerable to further bouts of cash generating related long liquidation."
Reuters reported that the price of gold has risen by more than 20 percent in 2011 to date, putting the metal well on its way toward the 11th consecutive yearly gain for the commodity.

Many students think that majoring in mathematics will only prepare them for a career in teaching.
This is simply not true!
Even though many mathematics majors do go on to rewarding careers in teaching at the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels, many more go on to careers outside of academics. In fact, according to a National Science Foundation survey of recent college graduates, more than half of mathematics majors go on to careers in business, industry, and government. [See Ref. 1]
As a mathematics major, you will develop skills in
All of these are highly desirable for a wide range of careers, including law, medicine, and business. Indeed, studies show that mathematics majors consistently score higher than most other majors in entrance exams for
graduate school (GRE),
law school (LSAT),
medical school (MCAT), and business school (GMAT). [See Refs. 2-5]
For the most part, mathematics majors will follow career paths which do not fall under the job title of "mathematician." Instead, they might be better described as
However, just because the name is different does not mean that you will be at a disadvantage. Remember that mathematics is a discipline, not a single career. With a judicious choice of electives, the mathematics curriculum at Ave Maria University can prepare you for any one of these careers.
The best reason to major in mathematics, however, comes right down to doing what you enjoy. In the latest edition of The Jobs Rated Almanac, which ranks jobs on the basis of working conditions, job satisfaction, income, and stress levels, ``mathematician'' was rated eleventh out of 250. (In past editions, it has ranked in the top five!) In addition, many of the other highly-rated jobs also involve significant mathematical reasoning and knowledge, and would be appropriate career options for mathematics majors. [See Ref. 6]
If you like to solve problems, get a kick out of building and interpreting models, and have an eye for detail, then you might have what it takes to major in mathematics, and that could be the gateway to a successful career in whatever your vocation might be!

'I think a levy is going to be a difficult sell but not an impossible one'
EUGENE, Ore. - Pat Farr has served twice on the Eugene City Council, with time as a Republican lawmaker in the Oregon House inbetween.
On Monday, Farr will be sworn in as a new member of the Lane County Commission. The consultant said he is ready to tackle the challenges of his new job - including the dilemma for public safety and the Lane County jail.
Farr defeated one-term incumbent Rob Handy last May for the seat representing North Eugene on the county board.
Since his election win, he has been going to commissioner meetings and getting his office space ready.
Farr said county budget cuts and the crunch on public safety are utmost on his mind. He said he could get behind a public safety levy for the ballot this year if the money is focused on the county jail, rural sheriff patrols and juvenile detention.
"I think a levy is going to be a difficult sell but not an impossible one if people understand - if people believe - that they're getting the right bang for their dollar, so to speak," he told KVAL News.
Farr said the board should lease empty office space in the Serbu Youth Campus and use that money to open more bedspace.
Farr will be sworn in officially this Monday as commissioner, along with Lane County Sheriff Tom Turner, who ran unopposed for re-eleciton.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
In the Dec. 14 issue of the Sanpete Messenger an article appeared about how Sanpete County could benefit from the fact it will have two Congressmen representing it, based on the fact it was divided basically in half (split between the Second and Fourth Congressional Districts) starting after the 2012 election. It also went on to say that Sanpete County's present Representative, Jason Chaffetz, who will now represent Carbon county in congress (if elected, that is) "has vowed to continue his support for" the Gooseberry Project
The proposed project would divert water from its natural drainage, which flows through Carbon County, into a reservoir and into the valleys of Sanpete County.
Now that representative Jim Matheson has decided to run for the Fourth Congressional seat (which would ironically represent the northern half of Sanpete County) Carbon may lose its congressional support to keep the project from happening. While Matheson has opposed the dam, he will be under big political pressure to change his mind as he represents the area that is the most adamant about building it. Matheson has always been his own man, so maybe he won't change his mind, but he will have a real fight against Republican opponents in getting elected to that seat and he may need every card he can play to get voted in.
On the other hand, Chaffetz, who has been noted to be a maverick in his short time in Congress, will be just as likely to keep his views. He will probably not be locked in any close battle with an opponent for the Third District seat because, as a Republican, the areas he will be representing with any real population, already have a track record of being highly GOP. So how Carbon County votes in any election will probably be of little interest to his campaign.
Based on the Messenger's article, Sanpete officials are giddy about the fact that Carbon will now be represented by a congressman that actually supports the project.
"We're really going to miss Chaffetz," the paper quoted Sanpete County Commissioner Spencer Cox as saying. "He and his staff have been great to work with. But it's a huge benefit to have him on board (for Gooseberry Narrows Dam) and we still have access to his office."
Sanpete County Commissioner Claudia Jerrett also was quoted as saying "We could very well end up with three strong proponents at the national level, or two who would continue to champion the cause."
Jerrett has been one of the strongest supporters of the project over the years. It seems when it is almost a dead issue, somehow she gets it resurrected almost single handedly.
What Chaffetz really does certainly is up to him. The Gooseberry Narrows project controversy has been raging for a very long time and started long before most of us were born. It has almost become a Hatfield and McCoy feud over the years; a long term fight that now has progressed through more than three generations. Each time it seems settled, despite agreements and court cases, it comes back to haunt both counties.
Now it may well haunt Chaffetz. What tune he sings in Carbon County, will be interesting to see. The song he sings may not make him very welcome in these parts.

Stevie Johnson Sat Out Practice as Precaution on Thursday
Up in Buffalo, the big question yesterday was around Stevie Johnson's inability to go in the Thursday practice due to a fall the Bills receiver had in practice on Wednesday. Johnson's momentum on running a fade route carried him off the field and onto a rubber track that rings the team's grass practice field. The change in surface caused the fall and while he tried to play after the incident, Johnson experienced some soreness from the fall yesterday that kept him out.
"He got tight yesterday," Bills Coach Chan Gailey explained to reporters yesterday. "He could've gone out there today, but we kept him out. We think he'll be back out [on Friday] and be back Saturday and be ready to go Sunday."
As of last night, the Bills plan to work Johnson back onto the field as soon as today, but of course the main goal is for their star receiver to play Sunday, not Friday. Johnson feels confident in his ability to play, "I could've went out there, but coach said, 'We'll sit you for this one … so I have a couple of more days to get it right and then I'll be out there."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comWe fully expect that Johnson will be playing come Sunday, but it's something to at least track over the next few days as the Jets prepare for their home opener this weekend. Should Johnson unexpectedly be unable to go, it will only make the Jets coverage job easier as they deal with the spread offense of the Bills without their top option suiting up.

Let's Keep NY Safe -- Join the Fight
Sign the Petition Below in Support of a Powerful Crime-fighting Tool
Expanding the DNA databank will empower law enforcement, provide justice to crime victims and help prevent repeat offenders from committing even more crimes. That's why I am encouraging residents throughout our community to sign my online petition and join my fight to expand the State's DNA databank.
Look at the facts:
* DNA holds the key to solving nearly 40,000 cases in New York State
* Since 2006, the DNA databank was expanded to include 36 misdemeanors; law enforcement has been able to convict 1,460 criminals.
* More than half of the criminals convicted of crimes in New York are still not required to give a DNA sample.
Expanding the database will provide key investigative information that can help to solve open criminal cases, exonerate innocent individuals and prevent repeat offenders from continuing to prey on New Yorkers. In short, our law enforcement officials need this tool to protect the public and put dangerous criminals behind bars.
Last year, I supported legislation that was approved with bi-partisan support in the Senate and was endorsed by district attorneys and crime victims' advocates across the State. This year, the Senate is again taking action to expand the databank, and I am pleased that Governor Andrew Cuomo has advanced a similar measure as part of his Executive Budget proposal.
By working together, and getting the State Assembly to join us in taking action, we can expand the DNA databank, solve even more crimes, and help keep dangerous criminals off the streets.
Join the fight to expand the DNA databank in New York State by signing my petition below.

Community college programs serve two basic student populations: students planning
to transfer to a four-year institution, and students looking for short-term job
training or retraining. Transfer students choose between the
Associate of Arts Degree, also referred to as the liberal arts transfer degree,
or the Associate of Science Transfer Degree
designed for students whose career goals are within science or engineering disciplines.
There are also a growing
number of Direct Transfer degrees
and other
articulation agreements between SFCC and four-year institutions, some of which are listed below.
Career and Technical Programs are designed primarily
for short-term job training. Most of these
courses are also transferable; however, the programs may not meet all the requirements
of four-year institutions offering degrees in the same major. AAS-T programs
are designed to provide transfer opportunities
for students desiring to continue on towards achieving a baccalaureate degree at specific four-year institutions.
Consult with an adviser regarding the transfer requirements for a specific college or university.
Certificate programs require as little as three quarters of classes.
Associate of Applied Science degrees are awarded upon completion of approximately
six quarters of course work.
Click on the degree titles below for more detailed information.
You may view the entire Community Colleges of Spokane
Online Catalog which contains a wealth of information about SFCC and SCC.
Check out the SFCC Program Outlines
for detailed program information.
Because the first two years of college are spent primarily in meeting general college requirements, a
great many options are available to students who plan to complete their freshman and sophomore years at
Spokane Falls Community College. The community college degree which offers the most direct route for
transfer is the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree.
Click to download an
A.A. Degree Worksheet
Students planning to earn an A.A. degree must meet minimum standards of preparation.
Those whose records and test scores indicate a need for additional preparation may
be required to complete preliminary work in the college preparatory program. SFCC
offers A.A. degree transfer courses for many
pre-majors. For assistance contact the SFCC Counseling Center at (509) 533-3525.
A candidate for the Associate of Arts (AA-DTA) degree must complete 90 quarter credits in academic courses numbered 100 and above
with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and meet specific distribution requirements:
It is highly recommended that students meet with a counselor or academic adviser at Spokane Community
College or Spokane Falls Community College on a regular basis to be sure that requirements specified in this degree are met.

When: Thursday, December 15, 8:00 p.m.
Opponent: @ St. Louis (17-9-3)
UPDATE: Andrew Gross reports that Mike Rupp expects to be back in the lineup on Saturday or next Tuesday. Gross also reports that Marc Staal seems very encouraged by his progress and skated much harder today. The next step for Staal is to hit the weight room to regain his strength. There is still no timetable for his return. (2:05 p.m.)
UPDATE: Mike Rupp again took part in contact drills. Wojtek Wolski and Marc Staal participated in the morning skate with non-contact jerseys. (1:19 p.m.)
UPDATE: Henrik Lundqvist will start in net. The Rangers will dress the same lineup, meaning Tim Erixon will indeed be a healthy scratch. (11:38 a.m.)
EARLIER: On Thursday the Rangers visit St. Louis riding a four-game
road winning streak to take on the red-hot Blues who are an impressive 11-3-1
at the Scottrade Center.
St. Louis fired Coach Davis Payne after a disappointing
6-7-0 start, but since then the Blues have been nearly unbeatable. Coach Ken Hitchcock has led St. Louis to an
11-2-3 record since taking the reins on November 6th and the Blues have climbed
from the depths of the Western Conference standings rapidly.
They now trail Chicago for the Central Division lead by just
five points and though Hitchcock deserves much of the credit for righting the
ship, the Blues have been buoyed all season by goalie Brian Elliott.
Elliott became an afterthought following four mediocre
seasons with Ottawa and 12 starts a year ago in Colorado, but he's emerged this
season as one of the league's top netminders.
Elliott has posted a 12-2-0 record to go with a 1.46 GAA,
.947 Sv% and four shutouts. Tim Thomas
didn't approach those numbers in his 2010-2011 season for the ages, so it's not
difficult to see why the Blues have thrived.
And when you consider Elliott's career numbers: 73-55-16,
2.75 GAA, a .906 Sv%, it's easy to see just how well the 26-year-old has
Few goalies in the league can match Elliott's league-leading
ratios, but Henrik Lundqvist is having yet another banner year himself.
The King is 12-6-4 with a 2.03 GAA, a .933 Sv% and two
shutouts this season and considering the overall improvement of the Blueshirts,
he could be on the way to his first Vezina Trophy.
Lundqvist expects to be healthy enough to play following a
scare on Tuesday night when he was hit in the shoulder by a Sheldon Souray
"I'll be focused on the game, not the pain," he told Pat
Leonard on Wednesday.
The real difference in this game could come from the
Rangers' newfound explosive offense, which was held off the board by rookie
Richard Bachman in its last outing but had poured in 10 goals in two games over
the weekend.
New York's 10th-ranked attack should hold a distinct
advantage over the 25th-ranked Blues' offense, which is even worse on the power
play at 29th overall.
Don't expect the Blueshirts to light St. Louis up with one
of their four-goal periods, but New York's firepower could be enough to help
Lundqvist edge Elliott in this epic goalie duel.
- The Rangers recalled defenseman Tim Erixon from Connecticut
on Wednesday, making many wonder whether he was just along as insurance for the
western trip or if he would replace Jeff Woywitka in the lineup following Woywitka's
costly turnover against Dallas. But
Coach John Tortorella indicated that Erixon is on the trip as
insurance for Steve Eminger, who blocked a hard shot off his arm against
the Stars. Tortorella wants Erixon to be
around the team and told
Blueshirt United, "maybe we'll see him in another month, who knows."
- The friendly confines of Madison Square Garden have been
very kind to the New York Rangers in 2011 thus far, but the Blueshirts haven't forgotten
how to win on the road either.
New York is 9-4-2 away from home this season and 53-36-8
over the last two plus seasons. In the
past, the team's strong road play has masked abysmal efforts on home-ice, but a
big reason the Blueshirts have ascended the standings this year is that their
play on home-ice has finally matched their play on the road.
- Jaroslav Halak was expected to carry the load this year
after coming over from Montreal last summer, but Halak's early struggles
allowed Elliott to seize control of the starting job in net. Halak's game has also come around since a
slow start, but it won't be easy for him to knock Elliott from the crease.

Exelon Nuclear, a division of Exelon Generation, operates the largest fleet of nuclear plants in the nation. The fleet consists of 23 reactors at 14 locations in Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Nuclear energy is a clean, safe, affordable way to meet future energy demands in the United States and around the world. It emits virtually no greenhouse gases (GHG), making it a clean power source that can help address global warming. Nuclear plants provide 60% of U.S. clean generation and 20% of the nation's electricity overall.
Nuclear power plants are critical to the stability of the U.S. electrical grid because they can produce an uninterrupted flow of electricity for extended periods. This uninterrupted flow supplies the necessary level of baseload electricity for the grid to operate around-the-clock.
Operating our fleet of 23 nuclear reactors safely and reliably is Exelon's first priority. We continue to invest in these units to maintain reliability, extend operating life and maximize output.
Exelon has submitted applications to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend the operating licenses for its Braidwood and Byron generating stations, which would allow them to operate for an additional 20 years. Those applications are in the review process.
Exelon's Calvert Cliffs, Dresden, Ginna, Limerick, Nine Mile Point, Oyster Creek, Peach Bottom, Quad Cities, and Three Mile Island nuclear plants have all been granted license extensions by the NRC.
Exelon also supports national policies and legislation that will encourage the continued and extended operation of existing plants, as well as the construction of new plants. We estimate that the U.S. will need at least 25-30 new nuclear reactors by 2030 if the country is to succeed in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050.
Safely storing spent fuel. While nuclear plants emit virtually no GHG emissions, they do create spent fuel that needs to be safely stored so as not to impact the environment. The federal government used funds from nuclear plants to create the Yucca Mountain permanent storage site in Nevada, but this project is now on hold.
Until the federal government determines a new solution, Exelon safely stores its spent fuel in plant spent fuel pools or dry casks consistent with federal regulations. All of this spent fuel is safely stored in a space equivalent to 2 Olympic sized swimming pools.
Nuclear plants employ more people per megawatt generated than any other type of plant and pay 36% more than average salaries in the local area.
Our power plants aim to be good neighbors within their local communities with active involvement through sponsorships, charitable giving and volunteering focused on the environment, education, the arts and diversity. We encourage our employees to give back to their communities, and we recognize their efforts through various programs.
Learn more about Exelon's Community.
All Exelon facilities employ sophisticated emergency response plans to protect public health and safety. These plans are reviewed and approved by state governments and federal agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The emergency planning includes coordination with local counties, municipalities and school districts.
The nation's nuclear energy plants are among the safest industrial facilities in the United States. Well-designed facilities that include extensive environmental monitoring programs protect plant workers, the public and the environment. U.S. nuclear plants are built to withstand impacts from earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and aircraft. In addition, the nuclear industry has the most sophisticated security and emergency preparedness plans in the U.S. industrial sector.
Exelon Nuclear has met or exceeded all security measures mandated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for nuclear plants after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The measures include altered or new physical barriers, increased security personnel, training enhancements and additional surveillance equipment. Exelon Nuclear works in cooperation with other important federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to ensure the highest level of defense against a terrorist attack.
Learn more about nuclear safety.
Exelon Nuclear, a division of Exelon Generation, operates the largest fleet of nuclear plants in the nation. Exelon owns and operates 22 reactors at 13 locations in Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Exelon also operates Fort Calhoun Station, owned by Omaha Public Power District, in Nebraska, and has ownership interest in PSEG's Salem Generating Station in New Jersey.
Braidwood Generating Station, Exelon's newest nuclear power station, is located in northeastern Illinois, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago in Will County. The 2-unit station is built on a 4,457-acre site and its cooling lake was formed from scarred farming land and an old strip mine.
Byron Generating Station is located near Byron in northern Illinois, about 110 miles west of Chicago. It's a 2-unit nuclear power facility that can produce enough electricity to power more than 2 million average American homes.
Located in Lusby, Md., Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 began generating electricity in 1975 and Unit 2 joined the system in 1977. Since then, Calvert Cliffs has continually set records for power production and worker safety.
Clinton Power Station, one of Exelon's newest nuclear power plants, is located in central Illinois. The unit can produce enough energy to power about 1 million average American homes.
Dresden Generating Station, located in rural Grundy County in northern Illinois, is home to the nation's first full-scale, privately financed nuclear power plant, which began operation in 1960. The 2-unit facility can produce enough energy to power more than 1.5 million average American homes.
LaSalle County Generating Station is located in rural LaSalle County in northern Illinois, about 75 miles southwest of Chicago. The station is built on a 3,055-acre site with a 2,058-acre man-made cooling lake, which is also a popular fishery managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
Limerick Generating Station is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia in Montgomery County. The station is built on a 600-acre site and draws its cooling water from the Schuylkill River.
Unit 1 is a 620 MW reactor that entered service in 1970 and Unit 2 is a 1,138 MW reactor that began operation in 1988. As part of the company's balanced growth initiative, Constellation Energy purchased Nine Mile Point in 2001 from Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and other utilities. Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, a joint venture between Constellation Energy and EDF Group, owns 100 percent of Unit 1 and 82 percent of Unit 2. Long Island Power Authority owns 18 percent of Unit 2. Constellation Energy owns 50.01 percent of CENG. EDF owns 49.99 percent of CENG.
Oyster Creek Generating Station is located in Lacey Township, Ocean County, near the New Jersey shore. Oyster Creek began operating in 1969 as the first large-scale commercial nuclear power plant in the United States. Its single boiling water reactor produces 645 net MW, enough to power 600,000 average American homes.
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, located on the west bank of the Conowingo Pond (Susquehanna River) in Delta, Pennsylvania, is a two-unit nuclear generation facility that powers two million area homes. The plant's two reactors began operation in 1974 and produce a total of 2,280 megawatts.
Quad Cities Generating Station is a dual-unit boiling water reactor nuclear power plant located in Cordova, Illinois. Built on 765-acre site along the Mississippi River, this combined production is enough electricity to power more than 1.5 million average American homes.
R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant is located on 426 acres along the south shores of Lake Ontario in Ontario, NY - about 20 miles northeast of Rochester and 53 miles southwest of Constellation Energy's Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station. Constellation Energy bought Ginna, a pressurized one-unit water reactor on June 10, 2004. Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, a joint venture between Constellation Energy and EDF Group, owns 100 percent of R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. Constellation Energy owns 50.01% of CENG. EDF owns 49.99% of CENG.
Three Mile Island is located in central Pennsylvania, about 10 miles south of Harrisburg, in Londonderry Township. The station is built on an island in the Susquehanna River. The plant is capable of generating enough energy to power over 800,000 average American homes.
Zion Station is a former nuclear generating facility that has been converted into an electrical grid voltage-stabilizing facility. It is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan in the Northeast Illinois community of Zion. After more than 20 years of operation, Zion's two reactors were permanently shut down on January 15, 1998.
Salem Nuclear Power Plant is located in Hancocks Bridge, N.J. about 18 miles south of Wilmington, Del. It's a 2-unit nuclear power facility that can produce enough electricity to power more than 2 million average American homes. PSEG owns 57% of Salem, Exelon Corporation owns the remaining 43%.
Exelon's nuclear plants provide significant environmental value to the U.S.

- How to Read a Study Record
Though the HIV epidemic in India is predominantly among heterosexual populations, it is estimated that there are approximately 1.1 million injection drug users (IDUs) in India with HIV prevalence as high as 64% among IDUs in certain cities. In April 2004, the government of India launched a free-antiretroviral therapy roll-out program aimed at initiating 100,000 persons on HAART. Similar guidelines are currently being followed for the delivery and choice of HAART for IDU and non-IDU populations. However, IDUs have certain issues that complicate the delivery of HAART that need to be addressed by delivery programs such as delayed access to care, poor perceived adherence, and more rapid disease progression. This proposal will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of directly administered antiretroviral therapy (DAART) in conjunction with opioid substitution as a mode of delivery of HAART to IDUs in Chennai, India. To evaluate this objective we will conduct a randomized controlled pilot study of DAART vs self-administered therapy (SAT) among 100 HIV-1 infected treatment naïve IDUs who are enrolled in an opioid substitution program in Chennai and compare the following outcomes between the two arms: Primary Endpoint: Proportion of participants with viral load (VL) <400 copies/ml at 24 and 48 weeks; Secondary Endpoints: (1) Incidence of mortality and AIDS-defining illnesses at 24 and 48 weeks, (2) Changes in absolute CD4+ count from baseline at 24 and 48 weeks, and (3) Incidence of antiretroviral drug resistance at 24 and 48 weeks. Intention-to-treat analyses will be used. The study objective is in line with the priority areas identified in the Indian National AIDS Control Program Phase III (NACP III) and the results of this study will help inform the government of India on appropriate modes of delivery of HAART to IDUs. This study will also be among the first studies to be conducted in India to evaluate two different modes of delivery of HAART to IDUs.

Does your Mustang need a new clutch? If you've made some upgrades to your motor, or just wore out the original, it might. When searching for the perfect clutch for their cars, many Mustangs go no further than CJ Pony Parts' selection of Centerforce clutch products. With plenty of high quality choices for every Mustang on the road, you'll find the perfect clutch for every application.
There are no products matching the selection.
CenterforceCenterforce was founded in California in the early 1980s by Bill Hays and his family. Bill Hays had sought to cure problems with existing clutch designs, so he designed a competition-rated clutch/pressure plate system suitable for use with non-asbestos friction facings, and the Centerforce Weighted Clutch System was born. The design of the Centerforce clutch applies principles of weight and centrifugal force to develop the increased clamping loads modern clutch facings require while maintaining easy pedal effort and eliminating old-style diaphragm 'over-center' problems disastrous to high-performance engines. Then, in 1982, the Hays family founded Midway Industries, which is the part company of Centerforce, so they could begin manufacturing the Centerforce clutch designs for national audiences craving better performance from a clutch.
Since then, Centerforce has become an innovator and leader in the aftermarket clutch market for dozens of OEM and customized vehicles worldwide, including clutches for the Ford Mustang. Centerforce has, in fact, won dozens of awards for their new products and packaging. Over the years, Centerforce has expanded greatly. The company started in Midway City, California in a small speed shop, but quickly outgrew this location. Centerforce recently relocated, along with 90% of the company's employees, to Prescott, Arizona, into a huge 48,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Centerforce continues to innovate and grow, and still providing some of the highest quality and most technologically advanced clutches on the market.
CJ Pony Parts offers many Centerforce clutches for our loyal customers. No matter what year your Mustang is, CJ Pony Parts has a Centerforce clutch for you. View the entire Centerforce product line in CJ's annual catalogs, or on the CJ Pony Parts website. Placing your order is easy online, or can be accomplished by giving the sales team a call.

You're the West Coast Editor of Lucky Magazine but you recently started a blog, LE CATCH, which has really taken off. What prompted you to launch LE CATCH and what is it?
I live in LA, but I am originally from New York City. For many years my friends on both coasts, enamored with my penchant for mixing Zara and Marni, Topshop and vintage designer, had been trying to get me to do a website of some type—even just for their personal benefit. Then, at a cocktail party in LA, Phillip Lim (one of my favorite designers) came up to me to compliment my necklace. He gushed over it, exclaiming how chic it was, and asked, "Is it vintage Dries Van Noten?" I laughed and said, "No, Forever 21." He looked stunned. I felt proud. That was the moment I realized I needed to launch LE CATCH.
LE CATCH is my personal fashion blog and the premise is that we live in the Golden Age of shopping and should take advantage of it! There is a goldmine of fashion on the web (new must-have pieces appearing hourly, things you can't find in stores, etc.) and many of these legitimately amazing items—that not only can be easily paired with designer but also easily mistaken for designer—are available at unbelievably low prices. The choices are seemingly infinite, which is exciting, but that also makes it hard to know where to start. That's where LE CATCH comes in. LE CATCH scours the internet's best fashion sites every day to source the newest, most desirable, bound-to-sell-out items that are often also ridiculously affordable. My goal is to find at least one amazing item every day that is so good it would be crazy NOT to buy it.
How did you get into journalism? What is your background?My father was a photojournalist who shot for Sports Illustrated, Life Magazine, etc. so I grew up in a magazine-centric household. I majored in English in college, and discovered I loved to write. I got an internship with People during my senior year and then worked there for a few years after graduating. I then worked as an editor for Seventeen, Conde Nast Sports for Women, and finally Lucky, and along the way I've also written for Vogue, Elle, and New York Magazine among others. (Interesting factoid: I have an identical twin, Coliena, who went the magazine route as well, but as a fashion photographer.)"My living room is filled with vintage store finds from Palm Beach and Silverlake, along with a modern print by Calder and brass chairs from Jansen."
What advice do you have for women who want to work for a fashion magazine?
Start a blog and write about some aspect of fashion that interests you. There is no better way to hone your voice and develop a compelling point of view, and you will be showcasing your talents for prospective employers. Networking to obtain internships is a good idea as well. Working at a magazine will help you understand how the business works and help validate for you that it will be a career you enjoy.
"I have accumulated a lot of books over the years, so it's nice to have somewhere to display them. I love the mash-up of framed photos, beach shells and hand-painted mementos on the shelves. The effect is very lived-in and personal."
Best moment in your career so far?This moment. I get to work from home—a.k.a. Lucky's West Coast Bureau and LE CATCH headquarters—and I love all that, I do.
You have amazing personal style. How would you describe it? It's a mix of high, low, and vintage, with sequins, beads, and stripes thrown in.
"The eggplant purple and burnt orange color scheme in my den was inspired by a beloved Marni dress. Anchoring the picture collage is a 1960's surfing photo by Leroy Grannis—a favorite of my surf-loving husband."
Do you have any favorite fashion items in your closet?
A black quilted Chanel bag and a super-fancy Cartier watch—both gifts from my husband, plus a few vintage lace blouses that my mother gave me.
"I love having fresh flowers all over the house, which I should add is not as frequent as I would like! But it's such a luxury when they are around. I collect vases and pitchers—even small ones can be high impact. I'm wearing J. Crew leopard print pants (get a similar pair here), a vintage denim jacket, an old t-shirt I picked up at Fred Segal years ago and yes, my Louboutins."
Is your personal style similar to your interior design style? How would you describe your interior decorating style?
My house, like my wardrobe, features a mix of high-end statement pieces and thrift store finds, vintage and modern, and unexpected color combinations.
Do you have local + online stores you go to for home decor?
My good friend Hillary Thomas owns a store called Chic Shop in LA, which is an amazing source of refurbished vintage finds and mantel defining knick knacks. I also love mining the Rose Bowl and other local flea markets. Online, I head to One King's Lane and Circa Who.
"My husband and I make a point of sitting down with our kids for breakfast and dinner. Otherwise, we'd all be like ships passing in the night! Not surprisingly, my two young sons have claimed the two big Chippendale chairs as their permanent seats."
Favorite room in your house?
I love my closet—surprise, surprise! It's filled with lots of carefully chosen, long term and newly loved things—and they're all mine! It's also the one room in my house that no one wants to be in as much as me.
"Even though I work from home, I still dress up for work—it helps to shift me into professional mode. My home office combines old-school chintz window treatments with modern photography and my children's art. At my desk, I am wearing red Zara pants, a new Myne jacket, and Christian Louboutin pumps."
What items in your home do you splurge on? Save?
I definitely splurged on fabrics, since they import so much power. They dictate the vibe of spaces. I also invested in some good art, rugs, chairs, bed linens, and frames (a good frame can be art in and of itself). That being said, a huge percentage of the furnishings in my home was snapped up at flea markets and vintage stores, from the brass etageres in my office to my dining room chandelier.
"My bedroom is so airy and peaceful. Sometimes we leave the balcony doors open, and the heady aroma of night blooming jasmine fills the air. It lulls me to sleep like nothing else."
"I'm looking dressed up—in an H&M skirt, a gem-studded H&M sweater and Christian Louboutin heels—but feeling laid-back in our guest room. Initially when we first moved into the house, I hated the leopard carpeting in the guest room, but my friend and designer extraordinaire Ruthie Sommers convinced me it was the chicest thing ever—and now, of course, I love it."
"I picked up this minty blue bedside table at a vintage store in Palm Beach called Circa Who. The color is repeated throughout my bedroom in the ikat bedskirt and upholstered headboard. It's a very serene, calming hue—and appropriately beachy. There is always a stack of magazines on my bedside table, just waiting to be read. If only I had more time!"
How do you sparkle?
By spending time with my kids, going out on weekly dates with my husband, running every morning, drinking good wine, and, of course, shopping a lot! I have also really loved the process of creating and writing LE CATCH. It's been a new avenue of expression for me, and the positive feedback and letters I get from the women who read it are often highlights of my day.
"I'm sitting on a vintage wicker chair in my family's favorite hang-out spot: our canopy covered sit-back-and-relax patio, which overlooks the pool. I have my favorite H&M leather leggings on, along with an H&M striped top and Christian Louboutin heels."

PROVIDENCE — Ask New London High head basketball coach Craig Parker about the summertime impression made by former player Kris Dunn and you will elicit a response that figures to warm the hearts of Providence College followers.
"A few things stood out to me. He was definitely stronger and his attitude was really upbeat about the upcoming season," Parker expressed when reached Tuesday. "I think going into this season relatively injury-free as opposed to last year, he's washed his hands of that so he can be the point guard up at Providence."
The second part of Parker's quote hits the nail right on the head regarding Dunn, PC's spindly 6-foot-3 guard. When Ed Cooley gathered the Friars together for their first official workout in preparation of the 2012-13 season, Dunn was marching to the beat of his own drummer after undergoing labrum surgery on his right shoulder.
As he prepares for his second collegiate go-around, Dunn does so minus the restrictions that kept him in the equivalent of an aircraft hangar for what must have seemed like an eternity before receiving clearance for takeoff. Just seeing the youngster move confidently up and down the Alumni Hall floor during a recent practice is a clear indication that there's much promise just waiting to be tapped.
"This year, I feel like I'm a lot more involved with the team," Dunn said.
"Kris is ready for a lead role," Cooley proclaimed. "We're going to need him to be good, but I like what I've seen from him so far."
For a freshman to land behind the eight-ball before officially setting foot on campus, Dunn found himself in a precarious position. The competitive gene inside of him kept igniting his wishes to feel like a fully-fledged member of the team rather than someone who was strictly viewed as "waiting in the wings."
"Last year, all I did was rehab, so I wasn't really involved with my teammates on the court," Dunn recalled.
Added Parker, "I'm sure it was discouraging for Kris, suffering that injury going into his first year of college basketball. He loves the game, and unfortunately, that was a major setback for him at that point in his career."
By the same token, Dunn had a rehab schedule to follow chapter and verse, which was a reassuring way of telling him to take care of his health and not fret too much about what was happening without him. He wasn't going to factor in Providence's plans when the time came to raise the curtain on a new season, meaning that there was no sense in pushing the envelope, i.e. risking a setback.
Dunn ended up logging nine straight DNPs, all coming during the first-semester portion of the schedule. His first couple months in a PC uniform featured a mixture of glimmering potential and glaring reminders that he was a mere babe in the Big East woods. For every mistake Dunn made, you had to remind yourself that in his particular case, he was thrown to the basketball wolves on the fly.
He didn't have the benefit of offseason workouts or preseason camp, meaning this former McDonald's All-American figured to be cut a little latitude during an atypical adjustment period.
"It was pretty obvious that when I first came in, I struggled adapting to the game," Dunn admitted. "I didn't have as much training or practice time as some of the others, but as the games came along and as I learned more about the game from the coaches and my teammates, I think everything went well."
There was little doubt that Dunn was PC's top perimeter defender the moment he became an active contributor. His 29 steals in 25 games were good for fourth best, with four of those thefts coming in a NIT win over Charlotte, a game where Dunn's proclivity to fill up the boxscore was on full display – 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting, six rebounds and nine assists.
Though he looks the part of a prototypical point guard, Dunn demonstrated that he's far from content with the idea of directing traffic. Perhaps the most eye-catching stat from his freshman foray was the 41 offensive rebounds he secured, a total that showed that he wasn't afraid to sacrifice his lithe body at the expense of more traditional shiners of glass.
"He's that diversified guard that gives you a lot," noted Cooley. "He's more of a fundamental guy who's going to get a lot done for us."
Though he fell short of making USA Basketball's Under-19 National team after flying out to Colorado in mid-June, Dunn said he was able to parlay the experience into getting ready for future hardwood confrontations. Bulking up was a main priority, with Dunn happily reporting that he now tips the scales at 199 pounds after weighing 191 at summer's onset.
"(PC strength coach Kenneth White) made sure I maintained my weight through dieting and weight lifting," said Dunn, who was listed at 180 pounds during his senior year of high school.
Dunn was able to return to his Connecticut roots for a brief time, with Parker passing along that there were several times when he caught his former pupil hoisting jumpers in New London's gym.
"I'm sure he was able to work on his shot a lot more this summer. It's an aspect of his game that I'm willing to bet he'll continue to make progress on," said Parker about Dunn, who in his first year with the Friars, connected on 39.8 percent of his shots from the field and 28.6 percent (4-of-14) on three-pointers.
While Dunn is the only true point guard listed on PC's roster, he won't be asked to bear the brunt of a heavy ball-handling load. Senior Bryce Cotton and sophomore Josh Fortune have experience in this important area, with promising freshman Brandon Austin also possessing the necessary aptitude to make those around him better.
"The more Austin learns the game, the more he's going to excel," said Dunn, reciting a creed that was undoubtedly told to him 12 short months ago. "My position is point guard, but we have so many pieces that we're going to be able to run the floor."
"I like our backcourt, I really do," Cooley smiled.
Perhaps more than anyone, Parker is eager to see the "real" Kris Dunn perform this winter.
"I think you're going to see something special manifest up at PC," Parker confidently proclaimed.

Thailand: Katadyn Drip filters used to combat diarrhea
December 21, 2009
The Rotary District 2000/Switzerland has, in collaboration with the Thai Rotary Clubs of Taksin Pattaya, Eastern Seaboard and Thong Pha Phum, launched two pilot projects with ceramic gravity drip filters supplied by Katadyn. The village of Ban Bo Ong is located on the Khao Laem reservoir, about 110 km north-west of Bangkok on the Burmese border. The village is a settlement consisting of around 400 homes scattered about on the west bank of the reservoir. The reservoir that was created in the 80s cuts the village off from civilization. There are no access roads, no electricity and no communication. The villagers get their water either from the lake or by collecting rainwater in drums. Both sources are heavily polluted. The poorest 60 families have now been given Katadyn Drip filters. The second project relates to the village of Wang Hin, situated about 90 km north-east of Udon Thani heading toward the Lao border. Around 300 families live in Wang Hin. Numerous children suffer from diarrhea. The first phase of the project in Wang Hin also saw the 60 poorest families being provided with a filter.
Since using the Drip filters is extremely simple, they proved highly popular and were immediately put into use after a brief instruction. These gravity filters are based on the principle that two plastic vessels are placed inside each other in such a way that the top one seals the bottom one. Three ceramic elements are screwed into the base of the top vessel.
The top vessel is filled with dirty water, which, due to force of gravity, drips through the filters into the bottom vessel being cleaned in the process. The bottom vessel is equipped with a drain cock, thus enabling a family to drink and use clean water at all times. The vessels have a 10 liter capacity. Filling them 2 to 3 times a day provides an ample supply of clean water for the entire family. Equally important as having clean water to drink is also the availability of clean water for personal hygiene and cooking with.
About 2 months after starting to use the filters, the Rotary Clubs involved in the project could see that the filters were very popular among the families and were indeed being used. The instances of diarrhea have virtually disappeared and the health of the population has improved substantially. In the wake of these experiences, the Thai Rotary Clubs are planning to equip up to 60 more villages with ceramic gravity filters.

Resale shops, thrift stores - show your items
I intend on posting more and more resale shop finds and I'm hoping others will also share.
Even after years of digging through these places, I never cease to be amazed at what I can find and for the price paid. I'm more enthused now than ever.
What is interesting about these items?
Alot of average items are found in collecting, but also some harder and scarcer items are found.
Also it has taught me alot about antiques, especially as a budget buyer. Learning to identify these items by the back mark or age and wear of the item and more.
One of my favorite ways to collect is by the marks on the items. Whether it is ceramics or glass or paintings or art or metal or furniture, etc. I want to find as many as identifying marks as possible.
This is want drives me crazy about books, so many show the item but not alot of the bottoms of the ceramics. Or close up of the signature. This is one of the most important parts of collecting. To me at least.
There are just an incredible amount of markings out there that no one, two, or even 3 books can document them all. Not even close. I think it is helpful to collectors to know these.
So, I just want to share with others and hopefully more of you out there will also share. With pics of the items and the marks on them from items found at resale shops.
Seriously, any item.

I love this topic, because I've found some awsome treasures this way, and at times, I don't know how to "price them to sell", on GoAntiques...the sales proces vs the actual realized prices might be a little "off" espcially in this economy..What "sells" now might be different than what used to sell 5-8 yrs ago on the old e-bay site.

Electronics: Commission launches a €5bn public-private partnership Paskelbta: 01/07/2014, Paskutinį kartą atnaujinta: 23/06/2015
Vice-President of the European Commission Neelie Kroes said: "We need to join up our efforts if we are to win back and defend a leading position for Europe. I am happy that this partnership is now active - it shows that the EU and Member States can work together quickly when there is a clear case for action. The regulation to set it up was approved in less than a year!"
The European Commission launches a €5 billion public-private partnership:
It is called Electronic Components & Systems for European Leadership (ECSEL) and is aimed to make Europe the place to make and buy innovative micro and nano-electronics. This Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) will help industry launch new pilot projects and build on the €1.79 billion already invested in existing pilot lines and demonstrators. The Commission receives from a group of CEOs from the electronics industry their industrial roadmap which will state that Europe can capture up to 60% of new electronics markets, and double the economic value of semiconductor component production in Europe within the next 10 years.
