Earl Thomas Conley was born October 17, 1941 in Portsmouth, Ohio and is a country music singer and songwriter. When Conley was 14, his father lost his job with the railroad, forcing the young boy to move in with his older sister in Dayton, Ohio. He was offered a scholarship to an art school, but rejected it in favor of joining the U.S. Army. While in the Army, Conley became a member of a Christian-influenced trio. In 1968, after his discharge from the Army, Conley began commuting from Dayton to Nashville. He began playing in clubs in Nashville at night, supporting himself working blue-collar jobs during the day. Feeling that he wasn't making any progress in Nashville, Conley moved to Huntsv...

Legacy - A Tradition Lives On
April 3 - July 8, 2005
UMUC Arts Program Gallery
Lower Level
Inn and Conference Center
Adelphi, Maryland
Opening Reception
Sunday, April 3, 2005 1-4 p.m.
Legacy: A Tradition Lives On is an exhibition featuring the works of acclaimed Maryland artist Joseph Sheppard and 11 of Sheppard's former students: Nina Akamu, Nilda Maria Comas, Daniel Graves, Malcolm Harlow, Douglas Hoffman, Michael Molnar, James Earl Reid, Robert Seyffert, Mark Tennant, Evan Wilson, and David Zuccarini.
The exhibition tells the story of the artistic legacy that began with Louis Anquetin (1861-1932), a French painter who devoted his career to recovering the lost knowledge, techniques, and materials of the old masters. Anquetin trained artist Jacques Maroger (1884-1962), who came to Maryland after World War II and taught the techniques of the old masters at the Maryland Institute of Art.
Sheppard studied with Maroger, and, after Maroger's retirement, Sheppard taught Maroger's methods at the Maryland Institute for 15 years, passing the tradition on to the next generation of artists. Sheppard's former students-successful midcareer artists who work in the mediums of painting, lithography, and sculpture-represent the fourth generation of this artistic legacy.
This exhibition tells the story of a legacy handed down from teacher to student, through four generations of artists.

Fall had us whipping up delicious pumpkin martinis and butterscotch apple cider floats. Now that we're well into December, though, it's time to move on to eggnog, peppermint, and all the other festive flavors of the season. Here are four winter-themed cocktails (plus one mocktail) sure to help you feel all warm and cheery from the inside out.
For Any Day: Classic Eggnog
This holiday treat is a favorite in my house. We tend to just pour two or three (usually three) fingers of rum into a glass, then fill with store-bought nog and top with a pinch each of nutmeg and cinnamon. But you can also make your own in the blender if you have heavy cream, sugar, brandy, eggs, and nutmeg on hand.
For Bitterly Cold Nights: Hot Buttered Rum
I tried several variations before figuring out the hot buttered rum secret ingredient: vanilla ice cream. Mixed with butter and both white and brown sugars, the ice cream gives this steamy drink a smooth finish that most other recipes are lacking.
For After Work: Peppermint Martini
The peppermint martini is another classic holiday cocktail, and one of my winter happy-hour favorites. Just pour 5 ounces vanilla vodka, 2 ounces white crème de menthe, and 1/2 ounce peppermint schnapps into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake, then strain into a martini glass. I love to garnish the rim with crushed peppermint first, but adding a candy cane to the glass works just as well.
For Parties: Jingle Juice
If you're hosting a holiday party, a signature cocktail is a must – and Jingle Juice readily meets that need. For 1 1/2 quarts of tasty, holiday goodness, just mix 5 cups orange juice, 1 cup vodka, 1/3 cup orange liqueur (I use triple sec), 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 cup maraschino-cherry juice (or grenadine), then pour over ice and garnish with cherries, orange slices, and fruit-flavored candy canes.
For the Kids (and Non-Drinkers): Merry Berry Christmas, Sugar!
Help non-drinkers and merrymakers under the legal drinking age feel included in every aspect of the holidays with this fun, fruity mocktail. Just muddle raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and mint leaves in a shaker with some agave nectar, lime juice, ice, and water. Shake, then pour into a 16-ounce highball glass and top with ginger ale (and even more berries).

Data Breaches Threaten Companies Worldwide
As technology staffs contend with ongoing changes to the data distribution landscape, it is important to keep abreast of data security risks and to understand the significant importance of properly managing customer's private data.
The Ponemon Institute recently released its annual data breach report which provides stats on data security issues and trends. With more than 277 companies involved and 1400 individuals interviewed, this report provides a current and unique perspective of potential security risks associated with even the smallest data breach.
Below are highlights of the report which indicates data breaches remain a difficult challenge.
- The report identifies three key causes of data breaches worldwide:
- Malicious Attacks – 37%
- Negligence – 35%
- System Errors – 29%
- The average per capita costs of a data breach increased to $136 per capita over the $130 per capita from the previous year.
- The US had the highest total per incident cost of $5,403,644.
- In 2013 the average number of breached records was 23,647
- Healthcare, Financial and Pharmaceutical industries continue to be the top industries with the highest per capita costs incurred.
Ironically, the report noted that organizations that notified victims too soon following a data breach actually incurred higher costs. This is an indication that an incident management plan should be in place to properly mitigate the data breach event.
It's clear, based on the data in this report, that companies need to look beyond technology solutions that secure systems and communications. It is important that the human factors are considered like employee training and creating an incident management plan to provide a full proof data security strategy.
Take a look at the full 2013 Ponemon Institute Data Breach report for more information on the top reasons that data breaches occurred and ways to decrease the risks and costs associated with them.

Participants Encouraged to "Reduce what you can, and offset what you can't"
Washington, DC, August 25, 2006 — Clean Air Council, the largest locally-based environmental organization in Pennsylvania, and the nonprofit Carbonfund.org Foundation, a leading environmental organization making it easy and affordable for any person or business to reduce their climate impact, announced a partnership today to support carbon reductions and carbon offsets.
The announcement arrives at no better time, as United States Senator Robert Menendez (NJ) recently became the first Carbonfree™ lawmaker in the country, offsetting his office and campaign emissions with Carbonfund.org .
Carbon offsets are also good for Pennsylvania's environment and economy, supporting projects in Pennsylvania, including a reforestation project at Run Nature Preserve in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Via Clean Air Council's educational outreach and website, individuals and organizations can learn how to reduce their carbon emissions, and then offset the remainder of their emissions via Carbonfund.org. These efforts are targeted at awareness and action against the effects of global warming.
"More and more, Pennsylvanians are waking up to the serious threats posed by increasing levels of global warming pollution. Carbonfund.org provides an excellent way for individuals to take responsibility for their own contribution to the global warming crisis," said Joseph Otis Minott, Esq., Executive Director of Clean Air Council. "If we're to prevent irreversible harm to the environment, the economy and public health, everyone needs to pitch in to reduce carbon emissions."
The average American is directly responsible for producing about 10 tons of carbon dioxide annually through their home, car and air travel, and their average total annual impact rises to an average of 23 tons when factoring in the purchase of goods and services. Carbonfund.org encourages everyone to 'reduce what you can, and offset what you can't.' In practical terms, this translates into practices such as using Energy Star products, car pooling, and limiting electricity usage. Once someone has reduced the carbon emissions that are practical to achieve, offsetting with Carbonfund.org reduces their net carbon emissions to zero.
Carbon offsets - also called renewable energy certificates and 'green tags' – enable individuals and businesses to offset the emissions they are responsible for creating in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions by reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in a location where it is more cost effective to do so. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant that powers a home.
"Global warming is a problem that impacts all of us and how we act over the next decade or so will affect our world for generations to come," said Carbonfund.org Executive Director Eric M. Carlson. "The good news is that supporting carbon reductions is good for Pennsylvanian's health, air quality and economy. The Clean Air Council has a long and impressive history of leadership on improving our environment and this partnership will educate thousands of families and businesses across Pennsylvania about the dangers of global warming, the low cost and easy solutions, and economic benefits the state will gain by fighting global warming."
About Clean Air Council
Formed in 1967 by forward-looking community leaders, policy makers, and progressive business leaders, Clean Air Council works through media outreach, citizen-based advocacy, and government oversight to protect everyone's right to breathe clean air. Finding innovative ways to make the public aware of the threats presented by global warming and the opportunities for reducing global warming pollution is just one element in a wider program that includes working to develop the market for renewable energy resources, strengthen sustainable transportation, and increase public participation.

I really like that Kung Fu Nation created an original design as opposed to just mindlessly copying the key phrase from the song. All That Jizz is a great idea.
If you have not seen it yet, check it out, I must have watched it ten times already, Samberg and the gang are on top form. I've even been developing a small amount of admiration for Justin Timberlake who has had some fun little cameo's in Lonely Island stuff.

Paintball in Majorca
Paintball (in Spanish 'ball of paint') is a game in which the participants use paintball markers (the term "paintball gun" tends to be avoided so as not to raise concerns), which use compressed air, CO2 or other gases, to shoot small balls filled with paint at other players. Essentially, it is a complex strategy game in which players who, while playing the game, are struck by paintballs are eliminated. This elimination can sometimes be temporary or permanent, depending on which version of the game is being played. Contrary to common misconceptions, it is one of the safest outdoor sports.
Normally, a game of paintball sees two teams play against each other with the aim of eliminating all of the players in the opposite team or until a target is reached (such as capturing a flag or eliminating a specific player). A typical, amateur game of paintball can last anything from five minutes to half an hour. The basic kit needed to play paintball is relatively inexpensive (although the paint markers and top-of-the-range kit can be a little bit on the expensive side). The number of paintballs shot throughout the game varies depending on which version of the game is being played and depending on each specific player: some shoot hundreds, while others just a few or even none throughout an entire game.
Just 15 minutes away from our hotels if travelling by car, in the north, you can unleash your adrenaline in the only legally authorised facilities for this game existing in Majorca, which, without a doubt, is a great alternative to have a fabulous time. Open 365 days a year, from Monday to Friday between 10.00 am and 9.00 pm, and Saturdays and Sundays between 9.00 am and 9.00 pm.

Bedroom Window Treatments & Bedroom Blinds
- Privacy and light control are key
- Blackout shades offer complete darkness
- Top down/bottom up for flexible privacy
- Day/night shades offer flexible light control
- Quality and style for the room you inhabit often
Bedroom window treatments should balance the needs of privacy, light, and functionality, but should also be comfortable and inviting. The blackout feature available for nearly every type of shade and drape is intended to provide total light blockage for your bedroom window, allowing you to sleep comfortably. If you're not going for total darkness, top down/bottom up is another feature that lets in light from the top while maintaining privacy by keeping the bottom of the shade closed. For many of us, bedroom window treatments must simply provide privacy and basic light control, making style your main consideration. Fabric shades are available in many calming colors, patterns, and textures to help you relax and unwind.

- The Artist
"Sunflowers," now synonymous with Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890), is one of a signature series representing life's stages in the sunflowers' various phases of bloom. Declaring that "the sunflower is mine, in a way," Van Gogh used an innovative yellow spectrum made possible by newly invented pigments. Although Van Gogh's sunflower paintings share similarities, each is a unique and innovative work of art. Remarkably, Van Gogh was able to produce paintings that celebrated the beauty of nature and life, despite battling severe depression.
"Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle- more like music and less like sculpture- and above all it promises color. If only it keeps that promise."
- Vincent van Gogh
© Art.com
Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist Master whose innovative artwork powerfully influenced modern Expressionism, Fauvism, and early abstraction. Astoundingly prolific, Van Gogh produced all of his work during a 10-year period, at one point, creating 150 paintings and drawings within one year. Painting outdoors, Van Gogh uniquely captured the nighttime nuances of light and shadow, and was also renowned for his paintings of sunflowers and irises. Tormented by mental illness for most of his life, Van Gogh created many of his masterpieces while he was institutionalized. Although Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the most profoundly influential artists of the 19th century.

Valdosta, GA -
Cadets from Valdosta State University's Air Force ROTC program raised awarness today for fallen soldiers.
They took part in the third annual Bataan Memorial Death March. Participants walked more than twenty miles. It was in remembrance of the thousands of soliders who were captured in the philippines during world war two.
Warren Youmans is an ROTC cadet who marched. He said "the japenese forced American and filipino soldiers to march eighty miles in the hot sun to camp Oddonell. And thousands of Americans and filipinos died on the way. It's often forgotten. It was right after pearl harbor. And we're just bringing awareness for them. And POW and MIA awareness."
The first ever Bataan Memorial Death March was first organized in New Mexico in 1989.

It is inhabited by tribes that refer to themselves as the "Free Folk", known by the people of the Seven Kingdoms as wildlings. The wildlings themselves are not politically unified but consist of numerous and diverse groups. Many are semi-nomadic hunters, due to the impracticality of agriculture in the far north. Some wildlings are little more than savage and primitive raiders, but other groups live in small settled communities and villages.
The lands Beyond the Wall are mostly uncharted. The region immediately north of the Wall includes the Haunted Forest, a vast taiga-forest which covers most of the area, extending from the Wall to the furthest uncharted north.
The forest extends from the eastern coast to a large mountain chain in the west known as the Frostfangs. The Frostfangs extend an unknown distance to the north and are quite inhospitable. However, there are rumors that even the northern Frostfangs contain hidden valleys, heated by volcanic activity, which are actually the most hospitable regions north of the Wall, and heavily settled by the wildlings.
Southwest of the Frostfangs there is a narrow strip of land between the mountains and the sea known as the Frozen Shore, a harsh area inhabited by fierce and primitive warriors who frequently cross the Bay of Ice to raid the lands in the North sworn to House Stark. This small area is totally enclosed by the Frostfangs, which run southeast to northwest, and the ocean.
Beyond all of these areas, in the furthest north are the Lands of Always Winter. The forest ends and gives way to these truly polar regions, which are unexplored. The White Walkers are rumored to originate in the depths of the Lands of Always Winter.

In the books
Author George R.R. Martin has stated that the land-area inhabited by the Free Folk beyond the Wall is vast, roughly the size of Canada: "There's actually quite a lot of Westeros north of the Wall, it's a large expanse of land, probably as large as Canada."[1]

The Jetpack is a $60 million vehicle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It gives the player the ability to fly while on foot, allowing for both high-flying exploration and for super-fast "hit and run" assaults on enemies—although slower than most vehicles at full speed, it offers the player far greater agility than any normal vehicle, at the expense of leaving the player fully exposed to gunfire.
The Jetpack is unique - it hangs in the air when not in use, and is activated instantly when Carl Johnson walks into it rather than pressing the enter/exit button. It allows for directional control with two omnidirectional nozzle-like jets providing thrust; strangely, the nozzles do not seem to burn or otherwise harm CJ, despite being inches from his shoulders. When using the Jetpack, the player can only fire one handed weapons, although, somewhat incongruously, these can be dual-wielded.
The Jetpack is a prototype created in the US military's underground lab in Area 69; Carl Johnson steals it for The Truth in the mission Black Project. Due to the secrecy of the project, The Truth is the only civilian other than CJ to know of its existence. After this mission, the Jetpack will respawn at Verdant Meadows. CJ later uses it to attack a military train in the mission Green Goo. The Jetpack is permanently available in Verdant Meadows after completing the Green Goo mission and it can also be accessed at any time through cheats.
The Pistol, TEC 9, Micro Uzi, and Sawnoff Shotgun are the only weapons which can be used in conjunction with the Jetpack.
- Beside the house where you use to save your game in the airport graveyard in Verdant Meadows after completing Green Goo.
- At the lowermost section of Area 69 (after completing Black Project), although exploits are needed to access it.
The Jetpack can help you access the hidden interiors. See Hidden Interiors Universe.
- If the player is shot dead while flying the Jetpack, they will remain alive while airborne, however the jetpack will slowly gravitate towards the ground, then when it hits the surface, CJ will automatically dismount the Jetpack and then be wasted. However, if player use health cheat, CJ won't be wasted upon hits the ground.
- If a player spawns the jetpack while riding a bicycle (BMX,Mountain Bike or Bike), the player can ride the bicycle without pedaling it. If the player is on a Mountain Bike they can reach highway speed easily, allowing the player to ride one on the highways.
- If you spawn a Jetpack while in a car, CJ will be standing up inside of it, with his legs sticking out of the bottom of the car.
- If the player is hit by a car while using a jetpack, he will lose health but will remain standing as if nothing had happened. However, once out of the jetpack, he will fall behind due to the impact.
- The Cheat for the Jetpack is:
- PC: rocketman or yecgaa
- XBOX: LEFT, RIGHT, L, White, R, Black, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT
- While wearing a jetpack, the player is considered an aircraft by the game's AI and as such is subject to missile attack over no-fly zones such as Area 69.
- The lesser your fat is, the easier it is for you to control the Jetpack. Being obese only decreases the hover speed of the Jetpack, this is proved in the opening cutscene from the mission Black Project, if Carl is overweight, The Truth will call him a fat ass, meaning that CJ needs to lose weight so he can fly with the Jetpack.
- On rare occasions, CJ can wield a melee weapon while riding the Jetpack, a glitch occurs on the chainsaw however, The HUD icon of the chainsaw is displayed, and the sound effect of revving the chainsaw can be heard while riding the Jetpack.
- In the Official Strategy Guide by BradyGames, it is classed as a Recreational Vehicle and the name is called "Personel Transport System", with the description "Rumored to be in development. Look for it after Green Goo at Verdant Meadows."
- If you don't have a pistol, don't have any one-handed sub-machine gun and enter the Jetpack with a Sawn-off Shotgun, a glitch will happen. You fly in the Jetpack with the 9mm but with no ammo. You can aim and even fire that gun, though there are no bullets coming out from it.
- The Jetpack is the best device to search for Horseshoes, because of its easy controlling and flying ability.
- It is the only device in your inventory which can be put down and picked up again.
- If the player simultaneously walks into the jetpack and presses the button to hover, the jetpack will not make any sound. This bug is also present in several vehicles in GTA IV.
- A HUD icon for the jetpack exists, but it is not used as the HUD icon is always that of the player's current weapon.
- Strange enough there is a way to unlock everything in the game from the start of the game using the jetpack. After the third cutscene from the beginning of the game (Carl taking a little ride with Tenpenny), quickly enter the jetpack cheat, Although strange enough at the end of the cutscene, Carl will not be shown being thrown out of the car. Once the car is out of sight, CJ will be wasted. Once he spawns at the nearest hospital, every in the game is available. But you will still gain heat is you go to another city besides Los Santos.
- Single handed weapons can be fired from the jetpack. The feature of firing single handed weapons in the air returns in GTA V, where players will be able to fire weapons while using a parachute.
- Despite functioning as a vehicle, the Jetpack is technically considered a weapon.

Patriot Coal to phase out mountaintop removal
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Patriot Coal has agreed to phase out mountaintop removal and other forms of strip mining, in a move Patriot officials say is in the best interests of their company, its employees and the communities where it operates.
In a deal with citizen groups and environmentalists, Patriot said it would never seek new permits for large-scale surface mining operations, according to details of the settlement that were made public in federal court Thursday afternoon.
St. Louis-based Patriot can continue some existing and smaller mining projects, but must also implement a cap on surface production and eventually stop all strip mining when existing coal leases expire.
Ben Hatfield, president and CEO of Patriot, said the plan should help his company emerge from bankruptcy, focus on underground mining, and curb mountaintop removal's effects on coalfield communities.
"Patriot Coal recognizes that our mining operations impact the communities in which we operate in significant ways," Hatfield told U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers. "We believe the proposed settlement will result in a reduction of our environmental footprint."
The deal does not require Patriot to immediately close any mines or lay off any workers. The company must cut corporate-wide surface production starting in 2014, and gradually reduce it to no more than 3 million tons annually -- less than half of 2011 surface output -- by 2018.
Patriot, the second largest producer of surface-mined coal in West Virginia, becomes the first U.S. coal operator to announce plans to abandon mountaintop removal, a controversial practice linked to serious environmental damage and coalfield public health problems.
"Patriot's decision that mountaintop removal and other large surface mines are not in its best interests is the inevitable conclusion for any mining company that actually has to pay the costs of the environmental harm it creates," said Joe Lovett, an Appalachian Mountain Advocates lawyer who negotiated the deal with Patriot on behalf of the Sierra Club, the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy and the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition.
Lawyers for both sides unveiled the settlement -- which has quietly been in the works for months -- during a surprisingly low-key hearing in U.S. District Court in Huntington.
Unlike most developments involving West Virginia's coal industry, elected officials and other government leaders did not rush Thursday to issue public statements offering their views on the Patriot settlement.
The settlement still faces a review by the U.S. Justice Department, and needs approval from Chambers and from the judge overseeing Patriot's bankruptcy case.
After being briefed on the deal, Chambers said it "sounds to be a pretty fair result, which seems to be to the benefit of both sides of this litigation and, hopefully, to the people of the state of West Virginia."
The settlement grew out of efforts to resolve issues surrounding more than $400 million in liability Patriot faces to clean up selenium pollution that scientists believe is damaging water quality and harming aquatic life downstream from the company's operations.
Patriot had already agreed to a deal to clean up dozens of illegal selenium discharges at three major mining complexes in Southern West Virginia. But since filing for bankruptcy reorganization in July, Patriot has been at odds with citizen groups over the company's efforts to delay its compliance deadlines.
The settlement gives Patriot the additional time, bumping back compliance deadlines from May 2013 until August 2014. Hatfield said the move allows the company to defer up to $27 million of compliance costs from 2012 and 2013 to 2014 and beyond, improving Patriot's liquidity as it tries to complete bankruptcy reorganization.
"Importantly, this proposed settlement allows Patriot to continue mining according to existing permits and is consistent with our long-term business plan to focus capital on expanding higher-margin metallurgical coal production and limiting thermal coal investments to selective opportunities where geologic and regulatory risks are minimized," Hatfield said.
Details of the broader deal on mountaintop removal were spelled out in a 15-page "global settlement" document made public Thursday:
"At some point as those leases expire ... there will be no small-scale surface mining," said Derek Teaney, another Appalachian Mountain Advocates lawyer who negotiated the deal.
There were hints of a more substantial settlement with Patriot in August, when lawyers told Chambers they had reached an "agreement in principal" that would help Patriot restructure its operations and finances as part of its bankruptcy proceeding. The deal fell through a month later, but apparently got back on track late last month, when Hatfield -- a longtime coal industry insider who held posts with Massey Energy and International Coal Group -- was promoted to both president and chief operating officer of Patriot.
Last year, Patriot ranked behind only Alpha Natural Resources in terms of total surface-mined coal produced in West Virginia, according to U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration data.
Surface mines accounted for about 30 percent of Patriot's total production of 26 million tons of coal in West Virginia and Kentucky. The company employed nearly 750 workers at strip mines, or roughly 18 percent of its total workforce, according to MSHA data.
While the agreement eventually reduces Patriot's strip-mining production to zero, it phases that reduction in starting with a cap of 6.5 million tons in 2014. Patriot's surface mining production would be limited to 6 million tons annually in 2015 and 2016, and 5 million tons in 2017 before a cap of 3 million tons becomes effective in 2018.
For perspective, the phase-in would allow Patriot's strip-mining production to continue for several years at a rate roughly equal to current levels at Patriot's two largest surface mines, the Hobet complex along the Boone-Lincoln County border and the Guyan Mine in Logan County. Together, those mines -- both with workforces represented by the United Mine Workers union -- produce roughly 5.5 million tons of coal a year with about 500 employees.
UMW President Cecil Roberts said he was glad there will be no immediate job losses, but wanted more information about Patriot's specific plans and remained concerned about whether the company will use its bankruptcy to try to dump its liabilities for pensions and health-care benefits for thousands of miners and retirees.
"Coal mining has always been an occupation of continuous change, whether it's technological change, changes in mining methods, changes in markets, or changes in regulations," Roberts said. "Companies have made strategic decisions based on those changes and workers are left to live with the consequences. That is what has happened here."
In mountaintop removal, coal operators use explosives to blast apart mountains to uncover valuable, low-sulfur coal reserves. Leftover rock and dirt is shoved into valleys, burying streams.
Over the last 15 years, mountaintop removal has grown more and more controversial, as scientists have documented how the practice damages the environment and found that residents who live near large-scale surface mines face greater risk of serious health problems, including cancer and birth defects.
Since taking office in January 2009, the Obama administration has launched several initiatives to try to curb mountaintop removal, or at least more closely scrutinize new mining permits.
The moves fell well short of the mountaintop removal ban sought by citizen groups. But mining industry officials and coalfield political leaders have opposed the Obama efforts, labeling them part of a "war on coal," and succeeding in overturning U.S. Environmental Protection Agency actions in court.
Mountaintop removal issues have taken somewhat of a backseat in recent months though, as the public debate focused on how cheap natural gas has pushed many utilities away from coal, reducing the industry's share of electricity generation and bringing significant layoffs in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Michael Hendryx, a West Virginia University researcher who has published more than 20 scientific papers linking mountaintop removal to coalfield health problems, said the Patriot settlement sounds like a positive step to help address those issues. "The evidence is clear that large-scale surface mining is harmful to the environment and public health," Hendryx said. "I think this is a terrific development. I would like us to try to keep in mind that as this type of mining declines, it's going to be really important to think about what happens next, to think about different types of employment for the people who live here."

FAIRFAX, Va. – The cost of owning a home in Fairfax County would go up under the proposed budget for fiscal 2013.
Under the $6.7 billion spending plan proposed by County Executive Anthony H. Griffin, homeowners would, on average, see their yearly tax bills rise by about $80.
While the property tax rate would remain the same, at $1.07 per $100 of assessed value, property taxes would go up as a result of rising home values. Homeowners also would have to pay more in stormwater fees, which are tied to real estate assessments.
Additionally, Griffin is suggesting the County Board of Supervisors reserve the right to raise the property tax rate, to $1.09 per $100 of assessed value, in order to bring in more money for the school system.
The Fairfax County School Board had asked for an 8.4 percent increase in funding, but would get a 4.5 percent increase under the plan.
Griffin's overall spending plan represents a 2 percent increase over the last fiscal year.
It also includes cuts of $11 million to county agencies, and has the net effect of eliminating two county jobs.
The budget made no mention of a controversial "meals tax" idea, which would place a 4 percent tax on meals at restaurants to help raise money for transportation. To impose a meals tax, Fairfax County would need the approval of the General Assembly or approval from voters in a referendum.
The fiscal 2013 budget will be Griffin's last, since he plans to step down this spring. County supervisors have until May to finalize the plan.
Residents can begin giving their feedback today in a 2 p.m. online chat with the county executive.
Public hearings on the issue are set for April 10 and 11.

Many drownings and boating related fatalities are a result of cold water immersion. When a person falls into cold water their body experiences a number of physiological responses which are affected by both the temperature of the water and the amount of time they are in the water.
Vessel capsizing and falls overboard are the leading causes of cold water immersion. Capsizing is most often caused by overloading, poorly secured loads, improper boat handling and anchoring or loss of power/steerage.
In order to prevent cold water immersion, be sure not to overload vessels and always take weather and water conditions into consideration when operating. Falls overboard can be avoided by remaining seated and limiting how much you move around a boat when it is underway.
If a person falls into cold water their body's initial reaction is a gasp reflex, which can included hyperventilation and muscle spasms. This initial can result in water inhalation as well as significant changes in heart rate and blood pressure. These initial effects are present for the first two or three minutes of immersion.
In cold water you may begin to experience the loss of basic motor skills after only a few minutes. Between three and thirty minutes after immersion a person's hands quickly lose strength and sensation and subsequently their ability to swim, even strong swimmers. In cold water immersion cases, boaters often drown as a result of swimming failure before hypothermia ever has the chance to set in.
Long term immersion or immersion hypothermia becomes a concern following 30 or more minutes of immersion and hypothermia, a drop in body temperature below the normal level will begin to set in. The persons' overall body temperature will continue to drop until it reaches the same temperature as the water. As the body's core temperature falls, a person will eventually lapse into unconsciousness.
Post Rescue Collapse results from a drop in blood pressure which may lead a person to become unconscious or to stop breathing at the point of rescue or up to several hours afterward.

The Knight Commission on Sports recently reported that college athletic spending is three to 12 times more than is spent on academics. Recently, the MSR received the most recent reporting data from the University of Minnesota, and we examined 2012 and 2013 revenues and expenses for all 25 men's and women's sports programs at the school. We chose six of them — women's basketball (WBB), women's hockey (WH) and volleyball (VB); men's basketball (MBB), men's hockey (MH) and football (FB) — because they are revenue generating sports. Rounded in thousands of dollars, monies generated from ticket sales greatly varied among the six teams:
FB — $11.2 million in 2012 and $11.4 million in 2013;
MBB — $5.6 million (2012) and $5.2 million (2013);
MH — $5 million (2012) and $5.1 million (2013);
WBB — $261,000-plus (2012) and $269,000-plus (2013);
WH — $45,000 (2012) and $87,000 (2013); and
VB — $119,000 (2012) and $147,000 (2013). Only Minnesota football ($34.5 million), men's basketball ($16.9 million), and men's hockey ($204,919) brought in money from post-season appearances, but not women's hockey, despite the fact that they won consecutive national championships during the same time period.

To build a nation on inbound tourism initiative and to further international exchange through tourism.
While contributing to the Visit Japan Campaign*, we will reach a goal of attracting 10 million foreign visitors by the year 2010.
JNTO maintains 13 offices in key cities around the world, through which a wide range of tourism-related promotions are carried out. Each overseas office is responsible for promoting travel and tourism to Japan; one of the most important functions is to help the travel industry encourage their clients to visit Japan. The activities of the overseas JNTO offices include:
The purpose of having a separate website from our JNTO Tokyo headquarters office (www.jnto.go.jp) is to better customize, inform and emphasize our North and South Americans travelers to visit Japan. Hence, JNTO has three centrally located offices throughout North America.
|April 1964
|JNTO established as a government-affiliated corporation.
|April 2003
|Visit Japan Campaign launched.
|October 2003
|JNTO reorganized as an independent administrative agency.
|April 2004
|New JNTO president, the first ever from the private sectors.
|August 2004
|Shanghai office opened.
|December 2005
|International visitors to Japan during 2005 post a record high of 6.73 million.
|May 2006
|Singapore Office opened.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced at a round table conference of cabinet ministers on December 24, 2002 that the "Inbound Tourism Initiative of Japan" had been formulated in cooperation with other related ministries and agencies to promote foreign tourist traffic to Japan. The Initiative is based on the "Basic Policies for Economic and Fiscal Policy Management and Structural Reform 2002" (approved at a cabinet meeting on June 25, 2002).
In comparison to the 16 million Japanese traveling overseas annually, only 5 million foreign tourists, less than a third of the former figure, visit our country. The Initiative aims to lessen the gap at the earliest possible stage.
For the above purpose, a decision was made to launch the Visit Japan Campaign as a part of the "Strategy to Promote Inbound Tourism," which is one of the key strategies enumerated in the Initiative.
The "Strategic Meeting of the Inbound Tourism Initiative of Japan" was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on March 26, 2003 with the objective to unite the forces of the public and private sectors and initiate the Visit Japan Campaign, for which the Visit Japan Campaign Headquarters was established.
The Secretariat office of the Headquarters was then opened on April 1, 2003 and has started to take action in realizing the target of attracting "10 million foreign tourists to visit Japan by the year 2010."

Plans by the Kariakoo Market Corporation (KCM) management of constructing a 30-storey modern shopping centre seem to be faltering despite the documentation of a master plan of the building being in place.
The new structure to be located adjacent to the current main market built in early 1970s would replace the old market, which survived the building of the larger complex.
The old market characterised by its famed underground is to be demolished to pave the way for the modern multi-storey structure. The project was scheduled to be completed within 18 months since it was first commissioned to a Chinese strategic investor in 2010.
Due to this delay, investigations by The Guardian on Sunday have discovered that there is a likelihood of the investor who was initially awarded the tender of erecting the modern facility to pull out of the contract if the government would not give a go ahead of the project sooner than later.
KMC General Manager Florence Seiya said in an exclusive interview early this week that the investor in this project is still waiting for permission from higher authorities.
However, he couldn't disclose the precise level of government to give the permission, the name of investing firm or the costs of the building, but maintained that the KMC management has been told to hold on the project until further notice.
He was however astonished by the authorities' position and negative attitude about the project, and yet everything is on the table including business and site plans plus architectural drawings, with only the permit standing in the way to start on the work straight away.
"We are only waiting for the higher authorities to give us the green light in order to kick off the project whose feasibility study and other details were already handed over to the strategic investor to start working.
But to my great dismay I am surprised to see that the authorities have halted the project telling the investor to wait, for unclear reasons," he said. The construction of this project seems to have been hijacked by political motives driven by a few individuals who want to benefit from it, a mindset that is retarding the project's development, the manager intoned.
He leveled blame at few politicians, some of them decision makers, who have turned the project into a private political agenda, and that is why they have failed to make a quick decision.
In this way the earmarked investor is thinking of formally withdrawing from the contractual engagement he entered with KMC for reason of inconsistency and bureaucracy.

The Students Loans Board which on Wednesday declared its account dry, yesterday assured students of the higher learning institutions yet to be paid that the money was in the pipeline.
The Board's Managing Director, George Nyatega told the students who returned to the Board offices yesterday, under close watch of the police, to press their case that Treasury was processing the money to enable them to be paid.
The students were from Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy, College of Business Education (CBE) and St. John's University - Dar es Salaam Branch.
Meanwhile Finance Minister Dr William Mgimwa said exhaustion of funds in the HESLB account does not mean the government is bankrupt, stressing that funds for the students were incorporated in the next budget.
Speaking to The Guardian in an exclusive interview yesterday, Dr Mgimwa stated that all the information concerning university students will be given when tabling the budget for 2012/13 financial year in Parliament next month.
"We have set aside funds for the university students in the coming budget. The money will be deposited in HESLB account immediately after approval of the budget", he said.
The Minister however said that issues of loans for students in higher learning institutions are under the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training. He said even the HESLB account operates under the education ministry.
Meanwhile, President of Tanzania Higher Learning Institutions Organization (Tahliso) Paul Makonda blamed police officers from Kinondoni district for using tear gas to disperse the students who were demanding for their rights.
Makonda claimed that issue of students loans are now critical, suggesting for the government to hand over the task to other organs including banks since they have enough knowledge on lending matters.
"Some student have no relatives in Dar es Salaam, they are leading a miserable life…some girls are risking their lives by engaging in sex for money," he said.
Makonda called on the government to arrange for a national dialogue where Tanzanians would debate on whether students' loans should be channeled to HESLB or banks.
On Wednesday Nyatega told students from higher learning institutions that funds set aside for them have been exhausted.
Nyatega who said: "Our bank account which we use for paying student loans is currently reading 'zero'....nothing in the account." He was speaking to a section of higher learning students who thronged his office yesterday, pressing him to pay their food, accommodation and research allowances.
According to Nyatega, his office had already prepared all payments for the students in various universities, but did not prepare a cheque because there was nothing in the bank.
So far the board has paid students from University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Ardhi University (ARU) and Institute of Finance Management (IFM).

Pet Peek
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
I just couldn't help myself. I laughed out loud when I saw this pet friendly peek a boo. I would venture to suggest, a secret peek would be something of interest to both humans and canines alike. A portal to the neighbor. A peep hole on a grander scale. How about checking out the neighboring cat or chickens, before blindly sounding the barking alarm. Somehow, it strikes me as funny, as we put up privacy barriers to hide behind, this blows a hole wide open. Not only providing the view out of course, but the view into the private realm as well. How about installing a couple of these puppies in your front door? One for you, and one for Fido. Too fun.

Hove Beach
this wiki
- "Hove Beach, next to the docks."
- ―Niko Bellic
Hove Beach is a neighborhood in southern Broker, Liberty City. It is bordered to the northeast by the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway (South Slopes); to the north by Gibson Street (Outlook); to the northwest by Cisco Street and Delaware Avenue (East Hook); to the west by the Humboldt River; to the south by Crockett Avenue (Firefly Island); and to the east by Onondaga Avenue (Firefly Projects).
Niko Bellic's first home and safehouse is in his cousin Roman Bellic's apartment in Hove Beach.
Hove Beach has a very large population of Eastern European immigrants such as Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Serbs, and Albanians. The neighborhood, for the most part is a mix between working-class and middle-class. The area is primarily made up of various low-rise apartments, brownstones, regular terraced houses, factories, bars, and stores - many have an eastern European influence/theme such as the "Comrades Bar" along with the Russian-owned clothing store in the area. Various streets and roads can get quite busy during the day, such as Mohawk Avenue.
In terms of crime and safety - Hove beach can be unpredictable; especially in comparison to some other neighborhoods in Broker, though it suffers from less crime than some areas in Broker such as the Firefly Projects. Some streets are less safe than others - mainly in the working class portion of Hove Beach near the factories. The middle class area of Hove Beach is the safest. Those that are not of an eastern-European descent are at a greater risk of crime and harassment.
Most of the inhabitants in Hove Beach are generally hard-working people. Instead, most of the crime in the area is the result of the Russian Mafia - who keep a close watch over the area. Homeless people and drug addicts can also occasionally be found in Hove Beach (especially during the night).
The Russian Mafia can be particularly dangerous to Niko Bellic if he starts a fight in the area - as they are heavily armed.
Hove Beach is based on Brooklyn's Brighton Beach neighborhood, known for its Eastern European population. This is in reference to Hove, England's proximity to, and relationship with, neighbouring Brighton. The two, having city status, are officially known as Brighton and Hove.
The area is also influenced by Bay Ridge, which is also similarly famous for it's immigrants.
People and places of interest
During the first leg of GTA IV, Niko's aforementioned cousin, Roman Bellic operates a taxi depot at Cisco Street and Iroquois Street, which would later be destroyed during "Roman's Sorrow". Aside Roman, Vladimir Glebov owned a bar in the neighborhood. Mikhail Faustin and his partner, Dimitri Rascalov control a large part of Hove Beach, as Russian Mafia presence is high.
In addition to containing the first safehouse in the game, Hove Beach contains other places of interest. The Perestroika cabaret club is located in the northern end of the neighborhood, on Tulsa Street. Mohawk Ave, one of the neighborhood's main drags, is home to a Russian-owned clothing store at its intersection with Bart Street. Also on Mohawk Avenue are the neighborhood's police precinct (at Oakley Street), Vladimir Glebov's Comrades Bar at Mohawk Avenue (across the road from the safehouse), and The 69th Street Diner also at the Bart Street intersection.
The DF8-90 can be found in Hove Beach when wanted for the Stevie's Car Thefts. The vehicle can be found parked in a parking lot underneath the Hove Beach Train Station, next to the Amusement Park. The street in which it can be found on is Crockett Avenue.
Access points to the Broker Bridge, either on foot or in a road vehicle, are located within Hove Beach. The stairway leading up to the walkway on the bridge is connected to a block in Hove Beach directly under the bridge between Iroquois Avenue and Mohawk Avenue. Vehicle onramps to and from the bridge are situated at Oneida Avenue, just south from Outlook.
The Liberty City Subway serves the neighborhood. The eponymous station is located at the intersection of Wappinger Avenue and Crockett Avenue. The 3/8 Broker Line serves the station, providing service to Francis International Airport and Algonquin.
Notable Residents
- Niko Bellic (Until Roman's Sorrow)
- Roman Bellic (Until Roman's Sorrow)
- Mallorie Bardas
- Vladimir Glebov
- Dimitri Rascalov (until a certain point of the game)
- Beat-down cars commonly spawn around Hove Beach.
- Plenty of Russian themed culture exists in Hove Beach.
- Since Crockett Avenue stretches along the beach, it is most likely named after the main character from the 80's TV series "Miami Vice", which is mainly set on Miami Beach.
- Trevor mentions Hove Beach in the GTA V mission Minor Turbulence.
