One of the big reasons I wrote this book was to try and reconcile the need to deal with climate change with the different developments that are happening. It seemed to me that we as a country were having a lot of trouble figuring out how this fossil fuel boom fit or didn't fit into a serious need to deal with climate change. You had one world that thought seriously about oil and gas but didn't really know much about climate change and another world that thought seriously about climate change but didn't know much about oil and gas. If this oil and gas boom is a big part of our energy scene, we need to really understand how the two pieces fit together or else we can't think seriously about how to deal with climate change.
In the book, you point out that cars and trucks account for more than two-thirds of our oil consumption. What are the nuances—the pros and cons—of biofuels [a potential alternative to petroleum] that the public should know?
Biofuels take a lot of land. They can have all sorts of environmental consequences at a local level that people don't want. At the same time, if you pursue them properly they can be helpful for reducing reliance on oil and lessening net greenhouse gas emissions. One of the challenges we see with biofuels, and the same is true for all sorts of other technologies, is we have to figure out a way to square our local environmental concerns with the need to deal with our global problems.
Is it naïve to think that with new clean energy we won't have the security risks that we have had with oil?
I don't think it is naïve. I think oil is special. We have no rapid substitutes. When the price of oil spikes, you can't switch to something else, and oil happens to be concentrated in a lot of parts of the world that are highly volatile. People have warned that we'll just be substituting risks associated with oil for other risks because we will be using lithium in our batteries or neodymium in our magnets for clean energy technologies. I think those are different. In particular, even if someone cuts off your source of special materials and you can't make solar panels, that doesn't mean that you stop generating electricity. It just means that you don't install new solar panels for a while.
Do you think that wind and solar energy have the potential to compete with fossil fuels?
I think that wind and solar energy have the potential to eventually compete with fossil fuels, if fossil fuels have to pay the full price for whatever damage they do to the environment. I think there are isolated cases where wind and particularly solar may be there today, once you factor in the environmental damage that comes from fossil fuels. But I don't think they are ready to compete at large scale.
How should the government get involved in renewable energy?
I think in the long run you want to see polluters pay for the pollution that they cause. That will help renewable energy and other zero-carbon technologies compete more effectively. But, I also see a role for government in helping promote innovation in these technologies, to help make them viable options once you've got that price on carbon in there. That can involve laboratory research, particularly in storage, so that we can use intermittent renewable sources whenever the power is most valuable. But, it also involves support of one form or another for early deployment of some of these technologies so that companies can bring down costs through trying different approaches and so that people can develop innovative ways to finance and build these different energy technologies.
You push for a diversified energy portfolio.

Not quite therestinkypantsr | June 6, 2014 | See all stinkypantsr's reviews »
The game is ok, it plays a little bit like the old premier manager titles. I can not hire a coach witout the game crashing which is a tad irritating, but that aside I have not run nto any bugs. The game is enjoyable enough it is a very simplified game and I tried putting random players of lower quality in my team and I still win more often than not(with west ham) I am top of the table at the end of season 1 having done almost nothing to deserve it. Game has alot of potential but does need work.
Great football manager!drafek | Sept. 20, 2013 | See all drafek's reviews »
In this football manager you have to sell and hire players and staff. It's a little different then the other football managers. You can customize a little more. There also are alot of players. You also can watch real life tactics, which is nice. You can also promote players. Worth getting it's pretty cheap!

It was more white stuff yesterday in Colorado including in places that needed it the most.
The National Weather Service's John Kyle says parts of the state's central mountains including the San Juans received 2.5 feet of fresh powder over the weekend.
That region received more than 80 inches over a four to five day period, which has helped improve the San Miguel-Dolores-Animas-San Juan Basin snowpack from 46 percent a week ago to 58 percent.
The state's snowpack also improved because of the recent storm.
It had dropped to 88 percent of the 30-year average a week ago, but stood at 93 percent yesterday.
The weather wasn't all good.
It snarled traffic yesterday and caused traffic crashes.

Do the Nook pouches fit in the pockets in the main part of the Pilot? How about the front section with the large pocket?
Printable View
Do the Nook pouches fit in the pockets in the main part of the Pilot? How about the front section with the large pocket?
@luvdabags, I don't have a Nook or Nook pouch, but from the dimensions on the Product page, I'd say that the Nook pouches would fit handily into either of the two pockets in the main part of the Pilot, but not into the large pocket in the front section of the Pilot. You might be able to fit the pouch into one of the Front sections of the Pilot if it were outside of the pocket and you let it press very slightly against the mesh boundary with the water bottle pocket in the center.
From the Product page for the Nook pouch:
Exterior Dimensions:
NOOK Simple Touch™ Pouch - 6.7" x 8.3" / 170 x 210 mm
NOOK Color™ or Tablet™ Pouch - 6.7" x 9.8" / 170 x 250 mm
The pockets inside the main part of the Pilot give you a little over 7" each, so either of those pouches should fit. You just won't be able to add anything really bulgy to that pocket (e.g. a 7" x 3" x 10" rectangular block). The other way you can check this is by looking at the small Pilot Packing Cube dimensions:
Small Packing Cube:
Dimensions: 10.8" x 6.3" x 2.4" / 275 x 160 x 60 mm
Each of the small packing cubes can sit in one of the front pockets, but they don't completely fill it, and there's a little extra room around the cube. (The front pockets are deeper than the 2.4" depth of the Small Packing Cubes, because it is assumed you might be storing a table or iPad Mini in the large pocket, and pens, phones, etc. in the other pockets.) So the front pocket is probably about 6.5" wide, which is why I said that you can probably put in a 6.7" wide Nook Pouch if you're willing to let it press a bit against the mesh side dividing the pocket from the central water bottle pocket.
Hope someone with a Nook Pouch and a Pilot can answer you directly, but this should get you started!
thanks so much, moriond!

Not counting weddings and funerals, 38 percent of Americans say they go to religious services at least once a week. But there are big differences across demographic groups, with self-reported attendance peaking among older people, women, Southerners and Baptists, among others.
The biggest gap is between the oldest and youngest age groups. Sixty percent of people age 65 and older report attending religious services at least once a week; among 18 to 30-year-olds, just 28 percent go that often. Previous ABC News polls, similarly, have found that religious belief and practice increase with age.
There are other factors. Nearly half of Southerners attend services weekly, substantially more than elsewhere. Forty-four percent of women go weekly, compared to 32 percent of men. It follows that, among Southern women age 45 and up, weekly church attendance soars to 68 percent.
Forty-seven percent of Republicans attend church regularly, compared to 38 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independents. And there's a big difference between Catholic women (49 percent go to church weekly) and Catholic men (26 percent attend every week.)

Operation Guardian Angel opens Santa's Hut
Donations for care packages sought
Sunday, October 28, 2012
In time for Thanksgiving, four-pound individual boxes will be sent to 1,160 sailors and marines aboard the deployed U.S.S. Green Bay.
That will require lots of local donations of hygiene and entertainment items and individually wrapped snacks to the Santa's Hut, open 2-4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Nov. 15 at the Coca-Cola Community Room.
Neil and Brenda Smith have volunteered with the Veterans Appreciation Night Committee for several years. This year the couple additionally volunteered to help collect the donations for Operation Guardian Angel.
The 2012 project follows 2011's Operation Tyler, to support Tyler Huffman, a Mid-Missouri marine wounded while serving in Afghanistan.
The U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy corpsman who helped rescue Huffman have been dubbed his "guardian angels."
Marines David Castillo and Blake Watson will be honored guests during the Veteran's Appreciation Night dinner at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Jefferson City High School cafeteria. They also will accompany Huffman at several local speaking engagements that week.
U.S. Navy corpsman Jesse Miller and Marine Jose Santiago are aboard the U.S.S. Green Bay. Local organizers decided to honor their shipmates along with them with the care packages, which should arrive in time for Christmas.
Neil Smith served as a U.S. Army officer in Vietnam.
"Those guys over there, they're 800 fighting marines on a ship with nothing to do but train," Neil Smith said. "We can really spark their lives by sending some things to them."
To volunteer for packing on Nov. 17, call 584-8668.
Donations may be made 2-4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday or Friday at the Santa's Hut or at dozens of participating stores across town.
A project of this size takes many volunteers. After items are dropped off, more than 80 volunteers will be needed to sort them into individualized boxes.
With guidance from the Marine Parents based in Columbia, the Smiths are learning the most efficient ways to store, sort and send these donated items, Neil Smith said.
And they are double-checking donations not on the recommended list to see whether the sailors could use items, such as individually wrapped Ramen noodles requiring access to a kitchen.
"What's desirable on a ship may be slightly different than for our guys on land," Neil Smith noted.
In addition to the treats and creature comforts, each box for a sailor or marine will include a letter of thanks written by school children and a letter explaining Operation Guardian Angel.
Although individualizing the boxes will take more volunteer time, "it's more personal," Neil Smith said. "They won't all be alike."
Area businesses and individuals already have stepped up for this Veterans Day project.
The Department of Conservation has donated copies of its Conservationist magazine and a local dentist wrote a check for $1,000 after hearing about the effort from a patient.
The Smiths encourage schools and youth groups to get involved in the collection.
"You get a lot of synergy if you get a group doing it," Neil Smith said.

OBJECTIVE We examined associations of birth weight and weight gain in infancy and early childhood with type 2 diabetes (DM) risk in five cohorts from low- and middle-income countries.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants were 6,511 young adults from Brazil, Guatemala, India, the Philippines, and South Africa. Exposures were weight at birth, at 24 and 48 months, and adult weight, and conditional weight gain (CWG, deviation from expected weight gain) between these ages. Outcomes were adult fasting glucose, impaired fasting glucose or DM (IFG/DM), and insulin resistance homeostasis model assessment (IR-HOMA, three cohorts).
RESULTS Birth weight was inversely associated with adult glucose and risk of IFG/DM (odds ratio 0.91[95% CI 0.84–0.99] per SD). Weight at 24 and 48 months, and CWG 0–24 and 24–48 months, were unrelated to glucose and IFG/DM; however, CWG 48 months–adult was positively related to IFG/DM (1.32 [1.22–1.43] per SD). After adjusting for adult waist circumference, birth weight, weight at 24 and 48 months, and CWG 0–24 months were inversely associated with glucose and IFG/DM. Birth weight was unrelated to IR-HOMA, whereas greater CWG at 0–24 and 24–48 months, and 48 months–adults predicted higher IR-HOMA (all P < 0.001). After adjusting for adult waist circumference, birth weight was inversely related to IR-HOMA.
CONCLUSIONS Lower birth weight and accelerated weight gain after 48 months are risk factors for adult glucose intolerance. Accelerated weight gain between 0 and 24 months did not predict glucose intolerance but did predict higher insulin resistance.

Peter Jackson Has the Nerve To Show Us More Dwarves, Sarah Palin Can't Draw the Midnight Crowd, and More...
- Look, if I'd have known that when I started posting Hobbit dwarves last Thursday that it would become a week-long project of small, bearded men, I wouldn't have even bothered. But we've come this far--and TIME seems to think this particular photo is important enough to consider news--so here you go: Balin and Dwalin.
- Gunnar Hansen, the man who played Leatherface in 1974 original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, will reportedly have a cameo in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D--but this time without the Leatherface mask, so we can finally get a real taste of what Gunnar Hansen is all about.
- If you were wondering, only one person, a reporter, attended an Orange County 12:01 AM showing of the Sarah Palin propaganda documentary, The Undefeated. What were all those theater lines for, then?
- With Jonah Hill and Mark Wahlberg reportedly planning to star in a Lethal Weapon-esque buddy action-comedy called The Good Time Gang, Justin Timberlake is attached to star in Fully Automatic, which is also described as Lethal Weapon-like buddy action-comedy. Every No Strings Attached needs its Friends with Benefits, as the saying goes. (via)

Design and accessories: standard 3DApart from its support for 3D, the V3D231 doesn't offer anything else to help it stand out from other monitors in hardware terms. It has a single pair of 2 x 2 W speakers—with no sign of a USB hub or memory card reader—and the only physical adjustment allowed by the stand is to tip the display back a degree or two. The only way for the V3D231 to earn any points at all in this section is via its audio and video inputs and outputs, which are based around the classic trio of VGA, DVI and HDMI for video and a headphone jack to pick up the sound carried via the HDMI link or the line in.
Two pairs of passive 3D glasses are included, which you'll need to see in three dimensions: one is a pair of normal-sized 3D glasses with polarised lenses, while the other is larger and designed to be worn on top of ordinary glasses. Passive glasses have a clear advantage over their active counterparts in that they are light, comfortable and cheap because they don't use batteries or any electronics. The downside is that the vertical resolution is halved to 1920 x 540 pixels, which leaves 3D looking like decent 720p video, unlike the Full HD 1080p video produced by active 3D systems.
Colours: demanding users will want to calibrate itWith its factory settings, the V3D231 has a deltaE of 3.7, meaning most users will think it does a decent job of colour reproduction. The remaining discrepancies are caused by a colour temperature that's too warm, leaving a blue tinge, and gamma, the division of luminance across a gradient from white to black, that's too low. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't iron out either of these problems, leaving the AOC e2352Phz the undisputed champion in this field with a deltaE of 2.7.
Colour reproduction with the V3D231's default settings
As we mentioned above, this will no doubt be perfectly satisfactory for the vast majority of users. Only the most well-trained eyes will be able to detect any remaning problems.
The V3D231 does less well with contrast: with a contrast ratio of 670:1, it comes in a long way behind our average of 850:1.
Responsiveness: a 2 ms monitor (with overdrive)With those same factory settings, the V3D231 is no different to an ordinary display with a 5 ms response time that we would usually only recommend for office work. That's why you should change the 'Response Time' setting from 'Standard' to 'Ultra Fast' to get the most out of the 2 ms display.
This graph shows the ghosting time, measured in ms, that the monitor takes to entirely remove the previous frame. The shorter the time, the more fluid moving images will appear
That adjustment transformed it into the most responsive passive 3D monitor we've ever tested, although as the only 2 ms passive 3d monitor we've tested, that isn't actually all that difficult. Nevertheless, it should please gamers by accurately rending fast moving objects.
3D Display: make sure you're right in front of the screenWhether you're gaming in three dimensions or watching a movie, you need to make sure you're right in front of the display to avoid being plagued by crosstalk, interference between the signal destined for your left and right eye. That's something we also found on the AOC e2352Phz and the LG D2342. You can move your head up and down as much as you like, but you need to stay facing the monitor directly, making it hard for more than one person to enjoy 3D at the same time.
It's also hard to get the 3D effect if you're too close to the screen. We tried out various distances, and we reckon that the display is most comfortable at around a metre, with 3D visible anywhere from 90 cm to 120 cm back from the screen. As long as you make sure to do that, then 3D looks great.

Kohler Launches Its Most Advanced Toilet Yet: Numi
KOHLER, Wis. – April 14, 2011 – The art of seeking the very best that life has to offer is reaching new heights this spring. Kohler Co. – a global leader in kitchen and bath design and technology – has upped the ante of maintaining a sophisticated lifestyle with the debut of the KOHLER Numi toilet with bidet functionality. With Numi's standards of excellence and performance, high levels of personal technology and forward-looking design, this WaterSense and CALGreen-certified "smart toilet" is truly the ultimate flushing experience.
The company's newest bathroom product brims with luxurious features:
- A sleek, interactive LCD touch-screen interface
- Built-in personalized bidet functionality and deodorizer
- Innovative dual-flush technology with .6 and 1.28 gallons per flush
- Intuitive auto -open and -close lid
- Built-in music system
- Heated seat and foot warmer
- Unmatched comfort features
Following Kohler's successful 2005 launch of the Purist Hatbox toilet, whose tankless silhouette redefined the bathroom category, Numi breaks the mold with its entirely new visual and technical language. Its design reflects a furniture aesthetic, creating an original toilet profile.
A distinctive, pared-down vision blended with personal technology will impress the most technologically-savvy user while the interface provides an easy-to-use experience for just about any member of the family.
"It's truly an innovative product that makes a bold design statement," says Jim Lewis, Kohler's Vice President of Marketing. "We envisioned a toilet that creates a category in a caliber of its own. Numi packs technology into a compact toilet and is controlled by an advanced and intuitive interface. It's an astounding example of modern industrial design where form and function go hand in hand."
Numi is a celebration of the most technologically inspired experience in personal convenience. Adopting legendary architect Mies van der Rohe's "Less is more" mantra, the Kohler design team took a minimalist approach to Numi's creation, arranging complex technological functions internally within a limited space, all while presenting extreme simplicity externally. The result: a figment of beauty and geometry with high attention to detail, featuring a series of intersecting planes.
The KOHLER Numi toilet carries a 3-year limited warranty. For more information on Numi, the warranty or other KOHLER products, individuals may visit the Kohler Co. Web site at KOHLER.com or call toll-free at 1-800-4-KOHLER.

New year brings return of fishing on the American River
To protect wild Chinook salmon that spawn naturally in the American River, a major chunk of the waterway is closed for part of every year to all fishing activities. The closed section is from the power lines around Goethe Park upriver to the Hazel Avenue Bridge just below Nimbus dam.
That closed part of the river will reopen to fishing on Friday.
The number of salmon returning to the river, wild or hatchery reared, is still disappointing. Following the salmon upriver, each year, are steelhead, which are really sea-going rainbow trout.
There is a steelhead run in August-September, but those fish tend to be smaller fish and today, the run is a fraction of what it used to be.
The winter run of steelies is also not what it used to be numbers wise, but the fish tend to be much bigger. Sure, you can waylay the usual smaller five-pounders, but you'll also get into some potentially bragging-sized lunkers with a good number of fish well over 10 pounds roaming the waters of the American River. My personal largest was an 18-pounder.
Because we still have not had much in the way of rainfall, the American River is low and clear and those conditions can make steelheading extremely difficult.
Steelhead are a wary fish. They spook easily and if they see your line, they'll lie low and not bite. If you make too much noise wading into the river, they'll go into hiding and not bite.
So, when the river opens to fishing on Friday, with low and clear conditions, stealth will be the rule of the day – along with light gear.
Steelhead will be primarily on or near the bottom so you will need to get your offering right down amongst the rocks. You'll need to have just enough weight that will allow your line to move with the current, lightly bouncing bottom but without hanging up.
Until you find just the right amount of weight for the part river you're casting in, expect to lose gear. And, if you move any distance at all, you'll really need to start the weight determination process all over again.
What works? For the bait and lure caster, just about anything that resembles their primary gourmet grub - salmon roe. A lightly hooked ball of roe, fresh or cured, will be one of the primary getters, but salmon eggs will work and so will just about any lure that looks like an egg. Fly fishermen do well on a wide variety of steelhead flies, casting with a shooting head that will get their line down quickly where it needs to be.
If you hit the river on Friday in the hopes of stringing up a fresh run steelie, remember that you not only need the new, 2010 fishing license but also the new Steelhead Report Card.
For a variety of fishing activity types, you're required to have an addition to your current fishing license. Those additions are report cards, something the DFG uses to track the health of that particular fishery and how you, the angler, are doing in the realm of success.
Those report cards include the Steelhead Report Card, Abalone Report Card and the Sturgeon Report Card.
And, as soon as the license expired at the end of the year, so do the various report cards. If you're going to participate in any of those particular fisheries, you'll need to get 2010 copies.
Now that those report cards have expired, they need to be put in an envelope and sent back to the Department of Fish and Game. They are all due to the DFG by the end of January, and the return address for each is on the back of the report card.
Trout Plants: A number of lakes that weren't planted throughout the past summer are expected to soon be planted. Some of those closer lakes that are popular with anglers include Rollins, Scotts Flat, Sugar Pine and Stumpy Meadows, so look for fishing successes soon at these lakes.
Camp Far West: Finally some good news. There's been enough rain the past couple of weeks that the lake has risen enough where the concrete ramp is again back in the water and you can get a boat off the trailer. There are bass to be whacked but you're going to have to work them slow and easy. Drop-shotting worms or slow working jigs should be all it takes to get bit. Work the points and drop-offs, and don't overlook the rocks around the dam.

(WBIR- Walden's Creek) A fire in the hills of Sevier County destroyed two houses Wednesday.
Investigators will be in Walden's Creek on Thursday to see if arson caused the fire that claimed the two homes on top of Bluff Mountain.
The fire started just before 4 o'clock. Crews from all across Sevier County help blot out the flames and a small, two-acre brush fire within an hour.
Firefighters say the two homes had been abandoned, but both are destroyed.
The chief of the Walden's Creek Volunteer Fire Department said it's important people be cautious this time of year as the weather continues to warm up. It's a period where residents do not need a burn permit to start a fire on their property.
"It's always good to be safe to make sure whatever debris, whatever you're burning, make sure you've got everything cleaned out and you got a water hose, and you can't leave fires unattended,' said Chief Tim Baker.
We're just about at the end of the state's spring wildfire season. According to the Tennessee Division of Forestry, the fall wildfire season will start up around October 15.

(1) through design-based research to understand how technology and new media can be used to enhance how young people learn and develop pathways in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and;
(2) through studies that try to understand the socio-technical configurations that arise from the combination of technology, education settings (formal and informal), and people – and how these socio-technical systems could lead to improved social/educational outcomes.
My long-term hope is to inform ideas to improve educational opportunities and environments for learners, by leveraging the opportunities of new technologies.
My work sometimes touches on design (creating the technology and learning environments), understanding users (with a focus on digital youths), and the broader societal contexts (e.g. social inequalities, education institutions) within which learning happens with technology.
Current Projects
Blended Learning (2015-present): I'm engaged in a Researcher-Practitioner Partnership with the Washington DC Public School system to examine their blended-learning reform initiative. We are conducting case studies of how blended learning is changing the configuration of classrooms and teacher practice, and how the district's reform efforts influence these changes. In addition, we are examining data from the district's video game and other software platforms to examine relationships to student achievement using various learning analytics and regression methodologies.
ScienceKit for Science Everywhere (2014-present): I'm co-leading the design of a social media tool (formerly called SINQ, and now evolved into an app called ScienceKit), that is designed to allow children to capture their everyday life (in pictures and other media) like they would in tools like Instagram, but in the process view the world through a lens of scientific inquiry. We are also designing public interactive displays, to encourage neighborhoods to engage in joint science inquiry with children. In this design-based research, we are studying how to help kids develop dispositions towards science through such social media participation.
ARGs (2013-present): I'm working with colleagues to develop two large-scale, Alternate Reality Games, that will be designed to engage under-represented teenagers in STEM learning. We are exploring how the design of these large-scale, collaborative experiences push our thinking about informal science education.
Past Projects
Sci-Dentity (2011-2014): In the Sci-Dentity project, we designed and studied an after-school program in Washington DC public middle schools, where learners used new media projects and science fiction to explore the relevance of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in everyday life. This design-based research project examined how new models of learning like interest-driven, connected learning work (and sometimes don't work) for under-represented, urban youth as they work to develop identities that integrate STEM. We are currently analyzing our corpus of qualitative data and preparing papers of our work for publication.
Open Education (2012-2014): In this project, I collaborated with the Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) to explore how we can design and leverage open education platforms to help learners build their own experiences. We are preparing P2PU data for open sharing in the research community, and using data science and quantitative methods to conduct studies of how this open ecoystem is working. (more here)

Powerhead not sucking air to skimmer
I'm setting up my protein skimmer now, a seaclone. But the powerhead isn't sucking in the air. There's water the bottom inch or so in the air line with in the powerhead and I took the valve off so it could pull the whole line in. I'll blow in the air line to try to get it jump started and it'll last a few seconds and quit again. None of the lines are kinked and if I take the powerhead off my skimmer it'll fill the tank full of bubbles, but something about it being hooked up to the skimmer.
Any suggestions?
{sigh} Isn't it frustrating?
Ok, you probably have an power head that just doesn't have enough water flow to pull the air in effectively. Water pressure will cause this, especially if the power head is placed very far beneath the surface. Can you shorten the length of the input tube and move the power head closer to the surface?
What brand power and model head do you have?

Holidays are when most people open their homes for friends and family. Sharing the season's greetings is always the priority but these gatherings are also an opportunity to show off improvements made during the year. Fifty-two percent of homeowners plan to make home improvements this fall, according to the leading real estate website Zillow. It is also a great time of year for deals as retailers unload inventory to make room for new styles.

One reason that Rafsanjani's removal is important is that Khamenei, 72, is known to be suffering from prostate cancer. The hardliners are terrified by the prospects of Khamenei's death, and the possible rise of Rafsanjani to power.

WASHINGTON – Across the D.C. region, police are working to head off potential threats like Monday's shooting at a Baltimore County high school.
Police say a 15-year-old boy fired shots that injured one student on the first day of school Monday morning at Perry Hall High School. Teachers and a guidance counselor reportedly pinned the suspect against a vending machine.
"We have some heroic and brave faculty members," Schools Superintendent Dallas Dance said. "They responded very quickly to minimize damage."
In Fairfax County, police spent two weeks training before returning to schools where they serve as resource officers. Police spokesman Don Gotthardt says officers train to deal with an active shooter.
The exercises include "training the officers to identify suspicious activity and problematic activity in school that may lead to something bigger," Gotthardt says.
In Montgomery County, school resource officers were once assigned to each high school, but that number was cut back. Now, six officers are active – one serving the high schools in each of the county's police districts.
Sgt. Suzanne Harrell with the county's police department says officers still are connected to the school communities.
"It's a tremendous value to us because then we can be more proactive rather than reactive," Harrell says.

Hello everyone....Just arrived in Cincinnati, the Queen city, home of the Reds, the Bengals, Skyline Chili and, well, just check the phone book for further details.
Flew over Kentucky on the way into the airport, which actually is in Kentucky, you know. Saw no ponies galloping in the snow or Samarie Walker playing in it.
Amazing how empty the airports were in Hartford and Kentucky today. Not many people around. My favorite kind of Dunkin Donuts bagel, multigrain, was widely available and fresh. Made me happy.
I am here, of course, for tomorrow's UConn women's game against Cincinnati.
Aside from his family there may be no one Geno Aureimma cares for more than Cincinnati coach Jamelle Elliott, his former player and long-time assistant.
And that's why Saturday's game is likely going to be so tough for him.
Auriemma knows how short-staffed the Bearcats are and how incapable they likely are of keeping up with the Huskies, particularly on transition.
So what does he do to try lessen the pain on Cincinnati. What can he do to possibly lessen the pain?

How to Be Safe and Smart on the Internet
Two Methods:Internet Safety Cheat SheetBeing Safe and Smart on the InternetCommunity Q&A
The Internet is where you can chat with friends, create websites, and have an infinite amount of fun. However, problems like cyber bullying and account hacking can occur. There are some people who share a lot of photos and personal information online. You might even be one of them. Such activities are like stabbing yourself with a knife. There are people on the Internet who will try to get your personal information so they can do nasty and terrible things to you. To stay safe while enjoying the benefits of the Internet, all you need to do is to be a smart surfer. This article is designed to keep you safe from cyber bullies and hackers. Read through and find out how you can be safe online.
Internet Safety Cheat Sheet
Being Safe and Smart on the Internet
1Never give out personal information on the Internet. Giving away personal information on the internet is like giving away your life. When people are on social networks (Facebook, Myspace, Hi5 etc.), they don't realize that they're sharing too much information. There are many ways how the personal information you shared can get your life in danger. If you NEED to put your name in, use a fake name
- Password hackers can look at your social network profile, website, or even a forum and guess your password by looking at your personal information.
- Don't give out your location, phone number, full name, and birth date on the internet. It could attract hackers and people who might want to harm you.
- Don't put a picture of you as a profile picture on social networks. Put a picture of something that you love. If someone who has an evil goal comes across your picture, there is a good chance that he/she can locate and harm you
- Don't share your bank account number, credit card number, and your social security number on the internet. Keep them to yourself and only use it if you're shopping on the internet.
- Only share your card numbers if you're shopping online at a highly rated business website.
2Be Careful of Phishing. Sometimes you might get E-mails claiming to be from highly rated websites that require registration asking you for personal information. This is called Phishing. Highly rated websites (SmallWorlds, Yahoo, Gmail etc) will never ask you for your username of password.
- To avoid phishing, don't share your email address with anyone but with people who are close to you. In fact, make another email address just for your friends and family. Don't share your email address on the internet.
- Sharing your email address in social networking sites, websites, and forums can lead to phishers finding it and sending you phishing emails. Be careful and never respond to phishing emails.
3Cyber Bully Warnings! Cyber bullies are people on the internet who try to hurt other people emotionally. Cyber bullying can often lead to stress, depressing feelings, and even suicide. Avoiding cyber bullies can be really hard. Follow age restrictions to stay safe.
- If a cyber bully ever approaches you, don't let their nasty talks get to you. You know that you're a great person.
- If a cyber bully ever tries to hurt you, tell someone immediately.
- Sure cyber bullying can be depressing sometimes, but it's important to keep faith in yourself.
- Never ever commit suicide because you've been cyber bullied.
- Cyber bullies are really people in real life who are afraid to speak up and are lonely.
- If you ever run across a cyber bully, ignore them. Don't even talk to them.
4Have a password that is impossible to guess? Change your password every week or so, that way password hackers can't get your password and harm you.
- There are a lot of password hackers out there. Never share your password with anyone.
- Have a password that no one will be able to guess. For example, an alphanumeric one, or one with special characters. This might reduce the risks of hacking.
- Don't use your name or your date of birth as your password.
- Don't use something obvious as your password like your lover's name. Mix up a bunch of words together and make that your password.
5Never go and meet someone you met online. They may say they are 13 when they are actually 53. They may harm you.
Community Q&A
|This video will give you a little bit more information about being safe on the internet.
- Never share personal information on the internet. Some information you may not want to consider sharing is your password, full name, email address, your home address, age, and credit card number.
- Have an unguessable password; don't have passwords that are too easy to guess.
- Many cyber bullies roam around the internet every day looking to harm someone. If you run across a cyber bully, ignore them and live your life.
- Beware of phishing.
- The internet may sound safe but it is not safe. If you're 16 or younger, make sure that you have an adult supervising you while you use the internet.

What is Co-Active?
At CTI®, we believe that the coaching industry is still only in its infancy and that huge opportunities for significant impact on our world lie ahead.
Our courses are held primarily in-person because we believe that students learn best by addressing the rigors and challenges of coaching with as much personal experience, interaction with others and hands-on practice as possible.
We also conduct all our workshops with two co-leaders and a small class size to ensure the personal attention and individualization of the instruction that allows each student to find his or her own unique voice and style.
At CTI, we also appreciate that the greatest results are often achieved when you accept that real learning and growth can emerge from the seemingly illogical combination of divergent goals. To that end, we believe that passion is the greatest tool a professional can have to achieve success.
- Training can be both rigorous and fun
- Being and doing go hand-in-hand to foster growth
- Effective learning involves both individualized training and benefiting from the strengths, experiences and contributions of others
- Approaches to change can be both idealistic and pragmatic, and most importantly,
- Passion is the greatest tool any professional can have to achieve success.
What is Co-Active Coaching?
Co-Active Coaching has impacted the lives and careers of thousands of managers, leaders, and coaches around the world. It has led to CTI becoming the world's first ICF-accredited coach training program, the most widely used text book in coaching, the largest number of certified coaches globally and a powerful, experiential leadership program that unlocks participants' unique and natural leadership strengths.
CTI coaching holds that people are naturally creative, resourceful and whole - completely capable of finding their own answers to whatever challenges they face. The job of a Co-Active Coach® is to ask powerful questions, listen and empower to elicit the skills and creativity a client already possesses, rather than instruct or advise.
To train successful coaches, CTI uses an approach that includes four key elements:
- In-depth, in-person Co-Active training
- Professional practicum leading to certification
- Business/entrepreneurial skills development
- A supportive community of coaches to foster ongoing growth
- There is no more important time to have a powerful, positive and lasting impact within your organization, profession, family or community.

Fonterra announces opening price
Fonterra Australia has announced its opening farmgate milk price for suppliers in Victoria for the 2014/15 season at $5.80 per kilogram of milk solids (kg/MS).June 26, 2014 10:00am
Fonterra Australia has announced its opening farmgate milk price for suppliers in Victoria for the 2014/15 season at $5.80 per kilogram of milk solids (kg/MS).
It is forecasting a closing range of $6.10 to $6.30 kg/MS for the 2014/15 season.
Managing director of Fonterrra Australia, Judith Swales, said market factors will continue to impact prices through the 2014/15 season.
''The global environment remains volatile and is evolving rapidly. We have recently seen global commodity prices decrease due to increased global production and our currency has appreciated. But, demand from key importing countries remains strong. We will continue to provide suppliers guidance on developments in the market as they unfold,'' Ms Swales said.
Bonlac Supply Company (BSC) Chairman Tony Marwood said BSC welcomed the announcement from Fonterra Australia.
''It's great to see Fonterra Australia open with a strong price again this year. Price performance, along with support services, is key to ensuring the profitability of farmers.''

SAN YSIDRO For the second year in a row, students from the San Ysidro School District creamed the competition in a countywide math contest held at the Marina Village Conference Center on Mission Bay, earning championships in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
Before last year, no district had ever taken home all three first place trophies in the annual San Diego County Challenge 24 Math Competition.
The first-place winners were fourth-grader Jason Martinez and fifth-grader Jonathan Martinez, both brothers from Willow Elementary, and sixth-grader Joe Pineda from Sunset Elementary. Jonathan also earned the fourth-grade trophy last year, and Joe earned the fourth-grade trophy two years ago.
More than 160 students from 26 schools in 14 districts competed May 31. In addition to the three trophies, the San Ysidro district took home six bronze medals, 13 silver medals and three gold medals.

Radcliffe conjures brave new role as gay poet
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Daniel Radcliffe doesn't mind hearing that schoolgirls were staking him out at the Sundance Film Festival, hoping for a Harry Potter sighting.
In fact, Radcliffe is happy if his Potter fame conjures up interest for what he wants to do with the rest of his career, such as his bold turn as young gay poet Allen Ginsberg in the Sundance premiere "Kill Your Darlings."
Radcliffe goes nude for an explicit sex scene with another man, makes out with co-star Dane DeHaan and also appears in another sex scene with a clerk in a library while DeHaan's character looks on.
As with his Broadway debut in "Equus," which also featured a nude scene, Radcliffe said his celebrity from the boy wizard franchise might draw in fans who would not have seen a film such as "Kill Your Darlings."
"I don't care why people come and see films. If they come and see a film about the beat poets because they saw me in 'Harry Potter,' fantastic. That's a wonderful thing," Radcliffe said in an interview alongside DeHaan. "I feel like I have an opportunity to capitalize on 'Potter' by doing work that might not otherwise get attention. If I can help get a film like this attention, that's without doubt, that's a great thing."
"Kill Your Darlings" recounts a little-known chapter in the life of Ginsberg, who met Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) at Columbia University during World War II.
DeHaan plays Ginsberg's early idol and infatuation Lucien Carr, whose relationship with an obsessive older man (Michael C. Hall) involves the future beat-generation icons in a seamy murder case.
In the course of the film, Ginsberg comes to embrace his homosexuality. Hall said he hopes "Harry Potter" fans can come to embrace Radcliffe in the role and "expand their definition of what a magic wand might be."
"Kill Your Darlings" director John Krokidas said Radcliffe hurled himself into the role and treated the nudity and gay love scenes as just another part of the job, with no qualms or anxiety.
"Kill Your Darlings" premiered Friday afternoon at Sundance's main theater, which is adjacent to a high school where classes were just letting out for the day. A group of teenage girls rushed from the school to the back of the theater, trying to determine where Radcliffe and his co-stars would be coming in and out.
Some stars grow to resent that sort of fan attention resulting from past roles, feeling it overshadows the work they're doing now. So far, Radcliffe seems to see nothing but good things coming out of "Harry Potter."
"There was a generation of people who maybe wouldn't have gone to see a production of 'Equus,' had I not been in it, that came to see 'Equus,"' Radcliffe said. "Even if they came for the wrong reasons, you know, we got them there, and they stayed, and they watched. And they stayed for the right reasons."

Men Favor Prostate Cancer Test Despite Task Force Recommendation
In a recent study, a majority of men reported they still wanted to receive prostate-specific antigen testing, despite recommendations by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) against the test.
The study, published in the August 2013 issue of the
American Journal of Preventive Medicine
, surveyed 1089 men aged 40 to 74 years, without a history of prostate cancer, on their awareness and response to the October 2011 USPSTF draft recommendation against prostate-specific antigen testing. The survey was conducted online from November 22 to December 2, 2011, and responses were analyzed in March 2012.
After reviewing the recommendation, 62% of participants understood the reasons why the recommendation was made and agreed with it. Only 13% of the men, however, planned to follow the recommendation in the future, and 54% planned to have a prostate-specific antigen test, regardless of the recommendation. The remaining 33% of participants were undecided on whether to follow the recommendation or not. The results also indicated that African Americans, individuals with higher income, those who were worried about developing prostate cancer, and those who had already received a prostate-specific antigen test within the past 2 years were the most likely to report that they would ignore the USPSTF recommendation.
The USPSTF currently recommends against prostate-specific antigen testing, as the risks, which include false-positive results, outweigh the benefits.

Lisa Austin, mixed-media artist
Lisa Austin was a full-time studio potter from 1982 to 2000, specializing in pit-fired porcelain. This ancient technique involves firing the vessel in a hole in the ground. The smoke from the fired materials leaves a smoky design on the surface of the finished pot that Native Americans call "fire clouds." Lisa's work was influenced by the year she spent teaching on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico.
Lisa's pottery won her several grants and scholarships, as well as national and regional awards, and her ceramics are in permanent private and public collections across the country. But she had to close her pottery business for medical reasons in 2000. Since then, she has been working with mixed media—and conquering this new artistic medium as well. She has won several scholarships and grants to work with nationally known fiber artists Jane Burch Cochran and Nikki Bonet. She also has studied mixed-media techniques with Australian artist Keith Lo Bue, Atlanta painter Ray Perriotti, and fiber artist Lida Gordon.
Though primarily interested in 3-D assemblage and collage, Lisa frequently uses canvas and paint in her work. Her aim is to make one-of-a-kind pieces for private commissions and gallery exhibits. Her work can be seen in the "9/11" show sponsored by the Louisville Visual Art Association and in the upcoming Early Times Scholars exhibit at the Kentucky Arts and Crafts Gallery in January 2003.

The Navy is considering six more potential sites in North Carolina for its jets to practice simulated carrier landings.
The Navy backed away from its preferred location in Washington and Beaufort counties after environmentalists and landowners protested. The military asked both Virginia and North Carolina officials to propose more sites.
Virginia offered 10 locations in five counties. North Carolina's additional sites were unveiled this morning at a meeting of a task force created by Gov. Mike Easley.
Here are the six sites proposed by North Carolina:
Hoffman Forest, in Onslow & Jones Counties
Angola Bay, in Pender & Duplin Counties
Sandbanks Road, in Gates & Hertford Counties
Old Railroad Grade, in Perquimans, Gates & Camden Counties
Moyock, in Currituck County--between Moyock & Elizabeth City
Northwest River, in Camden & Currituck Counties.
Rear Admiral David Anderson says he expects Navy Secretary Donald Winter to whittle the choices down to between three and five by Nov. 15.
