David Price agrees to 1-year, $14 million deal with Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays and former Cy Young Award winner David Price have agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $14 million.
As of Thursday, left-hander David Price will approach the upcoming season as if he'll play for the Tampa Bay Rays.
That's because he and the Rays agreed to terms for the 2014 campaign.
The ace will make $14 million, a healthy bump from the $10.1125 million he earned last year. The announcement comes a day before Major League Baseball's arbitration deadline, meaning Price and the Rays will avoid a hearing to determine the pitcher's value.
The deal represents the highest one-year salary the Rays have offered any player. First baseman Carlos Pena earned $10.25 million in 2010.
"I'm definitely happy to have it out of the way, so you don't have to worry about going through a hearing, and that can be during spring training," Price said in a conference call. "That's not something you want to have to do. I'm happy to have that done. And I'm still having the same mind-set moving forward that I think I'm going to be a Ray."
Price, the 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner, is a three-time All-Star. He went 10-8 last season with a 3.33 ERA in 27 starts despite missing 44 games with a left triceps strain. Upon his return from the disabled list on July 2, he went 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA in 18 starts with 102 strikeouts and just 13 walks.
There was widespread thought in recent months that he would be dealt in the offseason, given his cost and potential value for the Rays in a possible blockbuster deal. He's not scheduled to become a free agent until after the 2015 season, and history has shown Tampa Bay is unafraid to part ways with key members of its staff if a move means deep value in return.
Right-hander Matt Garza was traded to the Chicago Cubs in 2011, while right-hander James Shields was dealt to the Kansas City Royals in 2012.
Though Rays pitchers and catchers report to spring training Feb. 14, there still remains a possibility Price will be dealt. The deadline for Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka to sign with an MLB team is Jan. 24, and the urgency for a suitor to land Price could be heightened once the Tanaka situation is resolved.
"My mind-set hasn't changed," Price said. "I wanted to stay here. Everybody knew that. So if I had a chance to be able to come back, that was what was going to happen. I think it has kind of worked out well for me to come back. That's what's going on right now. Hopefully, not too much changes."
The 28-year-old is a six-year veteran who's Tampa Bay's all-time leader in ERA (3.19) and winning percentage (.645). He ranks second behind Shields in victories (71), games started (147), innings pitched (973), strikeouts (876) and complete games (eight).
Price's future remains uncertain, though with each day that passes until spring training, the likelihood he stays with the Rays increases. Wherever his destination, he'll enjoy a rich payday.
"I want to be a part of it," Price said of the Rays' upcoming season. "I think we're going to have a really good team this year. I would love to see what would happen. Hopefully, I'm there for the duration of it."

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, left, and former Senator Georgia Davis Powers sing 'We Shall Overcome' during the 50th Anniversary MLK March on Frankfort, Wednesday, Mar. 5, 2014 at the Capitol in Frankfort. By Jonathan Palmer/Special to the Courier-Journal

The state House rejected changes made by the Senate to a constitutional amendment to automatically restore the voting rights of many felons, moving the bill toward a conference committee.
Technically, the Senate could recede from its changes, but, more likely, the Senate would vote to stand by its changes and that would send the bill to a conference committee to see whether a compromise can be reached.

Edgar T. Steward began his 38-year naval career in 1942 one year after World War II started and it was an adventure that took him to the sands of Iwo Jima during World War II, to the Battle of Inchon and Pusan in Korea, and finally to the jungles of Vietnam, where he earned the Bronze Star.
During those years, Steward rose from the rank of Seaman Recruit to full Captain and yet still found the time to raise a family and travel the world with his beloved wife Mary Jean and their three sons.
For a man who has the great distinction of having fought in three wars, he still maintains a razor sharp sense of humor ...

Hello All!
My name is Karl Sand and I am a new PM on Todd Wanke's team at Microsoft. I joined the team in October 2005 after spending 2 years in the Professional Services organization at Groove. Prior to that I worked for Lotus Consulting (a.k.a. IBM Global Services) in the San Francisco office as a "Solution Architect".
All told, I've been working with Lotus Notes and Domino for 14 years now. I was the lucky person who first researched Notes for usage at Hewlett-Packard in the early 90's, and subsequently adopted it as a core, collaboration utility for HP. During my six year tenure there I was responsible for the 140 server global infrastructure for Notes and worked as the Service Delivery Manager for the deployment of collaborative applications.
After the acquisition of Groove in May of last year, there were many new opportunities opened for the professional services group. With my background and experience the first group I came in contact with was Todd's team since it's focused on solutions for Notes customers. Having had all those years deploying Notes infrastructures and building custom applications, Todd thought I could definitely make an impact on the team. So I agreed to come on board and help round out a team of Microsoft experts by adding the skills and knowledge from the Notes/Domino side.
Today my focus is on the Notes SWOT Team along with Scott Andersen. SWOT is straight from the solutions sales process (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat). We help customers with problems they experience in migrations from Lotus Notes, but more about that later.
Finally something recent about me. I currently live in Northern California, just outside Sacramento. My wife and I both used to work at HP in the Bay Area, but after searching for a house down there we quickly came to the decision that greener, and less expensive, pastures lay elsewhere. We moved to El Dorado Hills almost eight years ago and now have two wonderful daughters that consume all the spare time in our lives. More on that, and pictures, in future blogs.
>"Lotus Consulting (a.k.a. IBM Global Services)"
Karl, Lotus Consulting has NEVER been part of IBM Global Services. They are completely separate parts of IBM. Not sure why you'd make that connection.
This is in reply to Ed Brill's comment that Lotus Consulting is not the same organization as IBM Global Services (IGS). He's right. However, many resources that worked in the small Lotus Consulting organization were brought in to work on customer engagements with IGS. We were introduced to the customer as being part of IGS and that's why I posted the (a.k.a.) portion in my BIO blog. So if any customers read my BIO blog on the site they may have remembered me as being part of IGS and wondered if it was the same person.
Sorry for the confusion. Hope this clears things up…
Karl Sand

Sweet Buns (Hangul: 단팥빵; RR: Dan-pat-ppang) is a South Korean television series starring Choi Kang-hee, Park Gwang-hyun, Jung Chan and Jung So-young. It aired on MBC from July 4, 2004 to January 16, 2005 every Sunday at 8:55 a.m. for 26 episodes.
Ga-ran and Nam-joon were classmates in elementary school. Ga-ran is a tomboy who prefers trousers to skirts, and loves taekwondo more than her piano lessons. Nam-joon on the other hand is Mr. Perfect who's got good looks, a fine brain, and is the most popular guy in school, especially among the girls. One day, Ga-ran sees Nam-joon giving away the sweet bun which Ga-ran's friend gave him, to another girl. Ga-ran throws herself at Nam-joon and beats him up, and their rivalry lasts throughout high school. A few years after college, Ga-ran and Nam-joon meet again as adults, both recovering from recent break-ups. Despite their constant bickering, they gradually realize that they're meant to be.

King of Dumpling in the Sunset is a fresh revelation of handmade deliciousness
› email@example.com [1]
As kingdoms go, Kingdom of Dumpling is a rather Lilliputian affair a runt, actually, if that word can be used in conjunction with "kingdom." Dumplings are small objects, of course, even the Bavarian ones made from potatoes, also known as knödel, and they seem even smaller when described in the singular. Kingdom of Dumpling? Is there only one kind of dumpling, or only one permitted per customer, or (our worst-case scenario) only one of one kind permitted per customer? The answers are No, No, and No but I leap ahead.
The Kingdom (an adjunct of Kingdom of Chinese Dumpling, on Noriega) opened last spring, in the snug Sunset space once occupied by the excellent David's Kitchen. That restaurant was a culinary multilinguist, fluent in the major idioms of east and southeast Asian cuisines; it was like a miniature Straits Cafe. The new place has retained much of that spirit, right down to the Magic Marker board that hangs above one corner of the dining room proclaiming the day's specials, such as duck curry. David's Kitchen offered a similar dish, if I remember rightly.
What is different is the massive infusion of dumplings, steamed buns, and general dim-summery. If you're a haunter of noodle bars, this is an alternate universe. It's as if some restaurant geneticist created a hybrid by mixing the DNA of a pan-Asian place and a dim sum house and did so in a space that would feel crowded with a dozen people inside. But the space is still an attractive shade of creamy yellow, the tables and chairs are comfortable, and the food is excellent.
The truly fresh, handmade Chinese dumpling is a revelation, when you actually find one and bite into it. KoD's are warm and juicy inside their soft pouches of dough; eating one is like biting into a piece of perfectly fresh fruit that's been warmed by the sun, except the flavors aren't fruity but (in the main) meaty, with generous tweakings of ginger and garlic. I liked the pork dumpling with napa cabbage ($5.95) slightly better than the chicken dumpling with corn ($6.45), mainly because the chicken didn't assert itself with quite the same quiet sensuousness as the pork, and the peak-of-the-season corn was a little too sweet. But either way, you get a dozen for about six bucks, and the individual dumplings aren't small.
The appeal of warm food is primal does the heat sound an ancient echo of fresh kill? but cold dishes have their own charms, especially when they're as tasty as KoD's. Marinated seaweed salad ($3.95) is a treat I associate with Japanese restaurants, but KoD's is just as good, if in a quite different way. The seaweed itself, for starters, isn't a mass of green, crinkled threads but a bowlful of what look like julienne poblano peppers, or perhaps tiny eels that have only just stopped writhing. And while Japanese seaweed salads are typically dressed with some form of ponzu sauce, KoD's carries another charge, more savory and with less citrus-tart balance.
A salad of bean stick ($4.95) consisted of flaps of bean curd corrugated, like Ruffles potato chips and tossed with plenty of chopped cilantro. With some minced garlic and grated ginger, this simple ensemble became addictive, and the fact that was served cold not cold, really, more on the low end of room temperature faded from one's consciousness, bite by bite.
More minced garlic was assigned to enliven crispy lotus root ($5.95), an enormous platter of cream-colored disks punctuated by vacuole-like interior spaces. I had the brief sense of examining a cross-section of bacteria under a microscope. The root sections themselves were indeed tender-crispy, as if they'd been briefly stir-fried, steamed, or otherwise tenderly handled; lotus root is really a starchy rhizome, and while some authorities compare it to potato, it reminded me of a cross between jicama and daikon. The root is rich in various vitamins and minerals as well as dietary fiber and is widely enjoyed throughout east Asia.
XO sauce, as browsers at Asian markets may know, is an irresistible, if pricey, confection a lumpy paste of dried seafood (including shrimp and scallop) along with various seasonings and degrees of chili heat. It's quite good right out of the jar, as I am embarrassed to say I know from personal (though not recent) experience. How much better, though, to use the precious XO to flavor a dish like beef chow fun ($6.95), a Cantonese festival of wide noodles, strips of tender meat, and bean sprouts. The color palette here was a little too thoroughly earthen to be ideal, but the glistening of the noodles and beef did bring a bit of joy to the eye.
It's not surprising that a restaurant serving food this tasty, interesting, and carefully prepared at such modest prices should attract young people, nor that given the restaurant's location deep in the Sunset District so many of those young people should appear to be of Asian ancestry. Their presence suggests that some kind of college or university campus must lie nearby, but we couldn't think of one. City College? Not too close. San Francisco State? Closer, though hardly at hand. The Sunset might be a neighborhood not a kingdom, but it's a pretty good-sized neighborhood that shows signs of reinvention and renewal and now it has a place where you can eat like a king, for a lot less than the king's ransom.

How does Valium work?
Valium (diazepam) is a an anti-anxiety benzodiazepine drug that's used to treat mood disorders, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
How does Valium affect the body and brain? Does it have the same effects for everyone? What are the dangers and side effects of Valium use? Is Valium addictive? We'll explore all those questions and more in this article. And we invite your questions about Valium at the end.
How does Valium work in the body?
Valium affects the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, helping to slow down and stop abnormal brain activity. This results in a calming effect, and sometimes feelings of euphoria. It helps reduce anxiety, cause sleepiness, relax muscles, stop seizures, and more.
Valium can also have pleasant side effects such as altered mood, or relaxed state, but Valium can also cause unpleasant, and sometimes dangerous, side effects. The most common adverse side effects to Valium include drowsiness, stomach problems, and mood changes. But more serious issues such as seizure, irregular heartbeat, or tremors can occur, even at normal doses. There's no way to predict who will experience these adverse effects, but they're more likely to occur when Valium is taken in higher doses than prescribed.
How does Valium affect the brain and nervous system?
Valium is a central nervous system depressant. This means it slows brain activity. As a benzodiazepine, Valium interacts with neurotransmitters, especially GABA neurotransmitters, in the brain. Specifically, the diazepam in Valium binds with high affinity to the GABA A receptor in the brain to reduce arousal and to affect emotions. Diazepam further depresses the electrical after-discharge in the amygdala and hippocampus regions of the limbic system that affect emotions. Do you get high from Valium? Possibly, but not always. If you are using Valium therapeutically and taking Valium as prescribed, the chances that you become addicted to Valium are limited.
How fast does Valium work
Valium hits peak blood concentrations about 1 – 1.5 hours after being taken orally. At that point, Valium has taken full effect. Sometimes people will crush and snort or inject the powder from Valium tablets to try to get more immediate effects, but this is dangerous and can result in increased adverse effects, nasal infections, or overdose.
How long does Valium work?
The half-life of Valium is fairly long – it can take 20 hours or more for just half of the medication to be eliminated from your system. However, just because it's not completely eliminated after 20 hours doesn't mean it's still effective. On the contrary, Valium is generally taken anywhere from 2-4 times per day in order to be effective.
What makes Valium work better?
Valium sometimes works better when taken without food. It's better to take Valium a couple of hours after your evening meal, so that it absorbs faster into the body. On the other hand, Valium should not be taken along with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines. It can cause excessive drowsiness and even be dangerous when mixed with other medications.
Does Valium work for everyone?
No, Valium is not right for everyone. Valium is a habit-forming medication that's not recommended for those with a history of drug or alcohol abuse. And in some people it can have serious side effects. People who experience problems while taking Valium should talk to their doctor immediately about discontinuing the medication. People with certain medical conditions should not take Valium. Finally: Can you die from Valium? Yes. Although it is difficult to take too much Valium and overdose on Valium usually requires hundreds of times the daily recommended dosage, or combing Valium with other drugs or alcohol.

how long does it take to work?
Hello Lawrence. Onset of action depends upon method of dosing / mode of administration. Are you taking Valium orally?
I have been prescribed 5mg of valium to help with my anxiety/depressed state. The doctor suggested 1 tablet at bedtime and 1/4 during the day as needed. My anxiety levels seem to waft and wane and I do not understand why. I cannot settle to do anything, focus on anything, can't read, can't do anything to help and simply feel totally empty. Going for a walk even though it is very difficult to do so, seems to help in the short term. Will the valium help me to recover or is it just masking the symptoms? I don't feel I could cope without something.
The natropath has told me I can Gaba Supplement & valium. I would like to know if I take Valium,& Metagenics brand Gaba as well. I suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, vertigo,a high ldl cholestrol I had triple by pass surgery in july 2007, I take 10mg of zanadip in morning & 50mg of metroprol at morning & night
Hello Alice. I'd suggest that you check in with a pharmacist to inquire about possible contraindications.
I care for a 38 year old Veteran and he has taken 26 5mg in one hit. He thinks it ok! It's not is it!!
Hello Erika. The dose he took is a lot. A person should only take up to 10 mg of Valium at one time, and that's only if someone is tolerant to the medication. The recommended daily dose of Valium is no larger than 40 mg taken throughout the day.
I'd suggest that you call 1-800-222-1222 to contact the Poison Control Center for an over the phone assessment of the risk of overdose and for intruction on what to do next.
The ONLY thing that helps with my severe anxiety (esp. in early AM) is Valium. Even 5mg does the trick.I also suffer from acute depression and have been prescribed many anti-depressants (Wellbutrin, Remeron, Paxil, Celexa, Nortryptaline, and others). Prozac worked for many years in combination with Cylert (no longer on market). I may try Prozac again. Celexa worked well for a few weeks but I eventually maxed out on the dose and it stopped working. I've been told that I have to limit the amount of Valium I take and I wonder what the safe dose is. I'm going to try Gabba and a light machine. Why am I worse in the AM and begin to feel better towards 4PM or so? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
is it ok to take Valium every now and then?
I need to take valium about a week before I fly as I'm phobic about flying. I normally take fiorinal for migraines every day. How many hours do I have to wait if I take a valium in the am to take my fiorinal in the pm?
Hi Brooke. I'd advise you to ask a pharmacist for general guidelines on when to take your medications. For issues such as this you should always leave it at professionals.

Vendors offer IP-telephony security services
As more businesses large and small begin to deploy IP telephone technology, there's a growing need to provide better security as voice calls travel over data networks like E-mail. Two major telecom vendors -- Enterasys Networks and Lucent Technologies -- on Wednesday introduced a package of services designed to improve the security of IP telephony services.
Enterasys will resell Lucent's suite of Bell Labs-developed security assessment and consulting services, and VoIP readiness assessment. The two vendors also will offer voice-over-IP consulting services.

Improving performance of Linux on ARM
Assembly Line
"maddog" looks at some of Linaro's efforts to improve GNU/Linux performance on ARM architectures.
For the past several months, I have been working with Linaro [1], an association of companies who want to see GNU/Linux working well on ARM architectures. Although ARM Holdings designs the ARM architecture chips, various other companies manufacture the CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs (Systems on a Chip) from ARM's licensed designs. Some of these companies use these manufactured units in their own products, and some sell the manufactured units to other companies and to the general public. For the past couple of years, ARM has been working on a 64-bit chip, and their licensees are getting close to having ARM 64-bit hardware ready.
One of the ARM engineers determined that 1,400 different source code modules in either Ubuntu or Fedora (or both) have assembly language in the code. This is not to say that the assembly language (or lack of it) will stop the module from working on the ARM64 system, because there may be higher level fallback code (e.g., code written in C) that will take over and be compiled for the missing ARM64 assembly language. However, the modules have not been tested and verified either on actual hardware or on the emulators for the ARM64 architecture that currently exist. Thus, Linaro decided to enlist the community in porting some of these modules and has created a contest with prizes for those people who help out [2].
The engineers also noticed that a lot of the code containing assembly language was fairly old. It was designed in an age when systems had a single CPU; CPUs were much slower, with a single core; memory was measured in megabytes, not gigabytes; Ethernet was 10Mbps, not 1,000Mbps; and the GNU compilers were not as good at optimization as commercial compilers. Therefore, people wrote assembler for the tightest, fastest parts of the system.
If those programs were written today, however, they might have a lot less assembly language, and the code would be more portable. Thus, the contest was expanded to include improving the performance of these modules and (perhaps) eliminating some of the old assembly language where it made sense.
Embedded systems exemplify how our perspective of "performance" has changed over time, in that the size of the memory footprint is often a measure of performance, with a small footprint providing savings in the manufacturing process. Extended battery life, achieved by allowing parts of the system to be turned off after the application is finished, also represents an improvement in performance. In large server farms, performance is often measured in electricity savings, savings on cooling, or in reduction of equipment purchases and floor space.
In the early years of my programming career, my job was not to write new functionality but to get other people's programs to work "better." My manager told me that if I could not get the application to work in half the time, not to bother with it. In almost every case, I could make an application run not only in half the time, but often five to 10 times faster. It was a very satisfying job, so it has been interesting to start investigating new techniques for profiling code, finding the bottlenecks, and seeing new performance improvements and efficiencies that can be made since I did this work 30 years ago.
At the same time, I am working with some very small systems that have some really interesting features. The use of GPUs for computation, digital signal processing chips, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were all conceptual years ago, but they were cost and space prohibitive. These concepts now have become not only feasible but even competitive in price/performance with other, more "mainstream" types of circuitry.
A board from a company called Adapteva not only has a SoC with a two-core ARM processor, FPGA, and digital signal processing chips, it also has a 16- or 64-core CPU. All of this, plus some system memory and USB ports, comes on a board in the US$ 100-150 price range [3]. The opportunity to learn about these architectures has now become practical.
Recently some people attracted a lot of attention by building a "supercomputer" out of a Raspberry Pi, a single-core system that does not invite the type of programming that might occur in a real HPC system. In an HPC system, each board can have several CPUs or several cores in a single CPU and use OpenMP in conjunction with MPI and other heterogeneous computing environments. Substituting computers such as the Banana Pi [4] or ODROID-U3 [5] would create a higher performing "supercomputer" at a reasonable increase in price and would afford a more realistic mix of programming styles.
I encourage readers to sign up for Linaro's contest and help GNU/Linux be the best that it can be.

Works Councils
Consultation, Representation, and Cooperation in Industrial Relations
Works councils—institutionalized bodies for representative communication between an employer and employees in a single workplace—are rare in the Anglo-American world, but are well-established in other industrialized countries. The contributors to this volume survey the history, structure, and functions of works councils in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Canada, and the United States. Special attention is paid to the relations between works councils and unions and collective bargaining, works councils and management, and the role and interest of governments in works councils. On the basis of extensive comparative data from other Western countries, the book demonstrates powerfully that well-designed works councils may be more effective than labor unions at solving management-labor problems.

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
U.S. Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Imports Decline 36% in 2014
After reaching record levels in 2013, U.S. imports of biomass-based diesel fuel (both biodiesel and renewable diesel) fell 36%, to 333 million gallons in 2014. Uncertainty surrounding Renewable Fuel Standard targets and the absence of a late-year influx of volumes from Argentina were two main factors in this decline.[read more]
Is it Time to Broaden the Scope of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard?
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires refiners, blenders and importers of transport fuels to meet targets that increase progressively through 2022. Seven years later, and the standard is facing two seemingly opposite stumbling blocks: weak supply (of cellulosic biofuel), and weak demand.[read more]
Is Cellulosic Ethanol All it's Cracked Up to Be?
The EPA has long promoted cellulosic ethanol as the future of biofuels, but technical challenges have kept production far below targets. A recent rule change allows renewable natural gas to qualify as cellulosic biofuel even though RNG is not cellulosic, but this helps the EPA to appear to be meeting their goals.[read more]
Energy Quotes of the Day: On the EPA's RFS Ineptitude
Rumors swirled recently that the EPA would finally announce the 2014 renewable volume obligations – quantity of ethanol and biofuels to be blended into fuel – until the they surprised many by postponing until next year. The renewable fuel standard, as the law is known, has been controversial for years.[read more]
Cellulosic Ethanol
The hand-wringing and soul-searching that has gone on at the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding a proposed reduction in the amount of ethanol to be blended in the gasoline in 2014 is emblematic of a policy based on optimistic projections divorced from reality.[read more]
Energy Quote of the Day: 'This Would Have Been Simply Impossible Without the Establishment of the Renewable Fuel Standard'
The Renewable Fuel Standard was designed to introduce increasing volumes of biofuels into the US liquid transportation fuel system. The standard has been expanded over time with greater focus given to advanced biofuels like cellulosic ethanol that do not use food crops as a direct feedstock.[read more]
Energy Quote of the Day: 'Consumers, Not the Federal Government, Should Determine What Goes in their Cars'
The always-ugly battle between US oil refiners and the biofuels industry over EPA's renewable fuel standards heated up again recently when 31 oil executives sent a letter to President Obama urging EPA to stick with fuel blending volumes proposed last November.[read more]
New Biogas Rules in the RFS
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced changes to the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2) that improves opportunities for biogas to be utilized as a vehicular fuel. They did this by qualifying it as an advanced cellulosic biofuel.[read more]
Can the Complexities of Sugarcane Ethanol Imports Lead to Increased Carbon Emissions?
The 'Renewable Fuel Standard' (RFS) requires blending biofuels into motor fuels annually to reduce petroleum consumption and associated carbon emissions. Since 2010 RFS compliance has included Brazil sugarcane ethanol imports. Do these imports actually achieve RFS carbon reduction requirements?[read more]
Impacts of the EPA Certifying Sugarcane Ethanol as an 'Advanced Biofuel'
The EPA certified Brazil sugarcane ethanol as an 'advanced biofuel' in 2010. This made Brazil imports eligible for U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard annual compliance. What are the impacts of this EPA action on U.S. fuel markets and associated carbon emissions?[read more]
Our Holiday Wish List
Heading into the New Year, it's clear the decisions confronting lawmakers and EPA regulators on the RFS will have a great impact on our world's journey towards decreasing greenhouse gases and improving energy security. Here's our wish list for the presents we'd like to see in 2014.[read more]
EPA's RFS Proposal is a Step Backwards on Clean Energy Path
Since the beginning of the RFS program, the EPA had been a strong supporter of the role Brazilian sugarcane ethanol plays supplying Americans with sustainable fuel. That's why it came as a shock that the EPA has proposed to drastically reduce the volumes of advanced fuels for the 2014 RFS.[read more]
Putting Renewable Fuels Back on Track
There are a lot of folks who want to tell a simple, black and white story about biofuels and the Renewable Fuels Standard. The RFS either needs to be dashed on the rocks or anchored in a safe harbor never to be touched. The truth is not that simple.[read more]
EPA's Ethanol Adjustment Falls Short of Reform
The EPA has proposed significant adjustments to the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard. The headline change was a nearly 3 billion gallon reduction in the required biofuel volume for next year. However, less than half of that reduction was truly discretionary.[read more]
Is An Ethanol Compromise on the Horizon?
If ethanol producers and advanced biofuels developers are convinced that fossil fuels get a better deal from the federal government, it would be a simple matter to replace these programs with the same incentives received by oil and gas producers and petroleum refiners.[read more]

Gloria Glaser (1966-1968) (his death)
Frederick Leonard Clark (March 19, 1914 – December 5, 1968) was an American film and television character actor.
Born in Lincoln, California, Clark made his film debut in 1947 in The Unsuspected. His 20-year film career included nearly seventy films and numerous television appearances. As a supporting player, with his gruff voice, intimidating build, bald pate, and small moustache beneath an often scowling visage, he was often cast as a testy film producer, crime boss, landlord, employer, doctor, or general. In 1942 during World War II Clark joined the United States Navy and served as a pilot. He later transferred to the United States Army and served with the Third Army in Europe until the end of the war.
Among his films are Ride the Pink Horse (1948), Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948), Flamingo Road (1949), White Heat (1949), Sunset Boulevard (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell (1955), How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955), Daddy Long Legs (1955), Auntie Mame (1958), and Visit to a Small Planet (1960).
Although he continued making films during the 1960s (most notably a large role in Hammer Film Productions' The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb in 1964 and John Goldfarb, Please Come Home in 1965) he was more often seen on television, as a regular on The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show as neighbor Harry Morton (until 1953) and guest roles on The Twilight Zone, The Beverly Hillbillies, Going My Way, The Addams Family, and I Dream of Jeannie. In 1962, he and Bea Benaderet, another Burns and Allen veteran, played Mr. and Mrs. Springer in the episode "Continental Dinner," the series finale of the CBS sitcom Pete and Gladys, starring Harry Morgan and Cara Williams.
Personal life[edit]
Clark was married to actress Benay Venuta from 1952–1962, then model Gloria Glaser from 1966 until his death from liver disease in Santa Monica, California.
Clark has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work in television, at 1713 Vine Street.
