Is Minnesota's largest co-op cutting carbon quickly enough?
More than a year after being criticized by state regulators for being too coal-dependent, a Minnesota energy provider is taking another run at planning for a lower-carbon future.
Midwest Energy News (http://midwestenergynews.com/tag/climate-policy/)
More than a year after being criticized by state regulators for being too coal-dependent, a Minnesota energy provider is taking another run at planning for a lower-carbon future.
The Energy Transition Lab at the University of Minnesota will bring some of the state's energy expertise to a global stage.
A group of Midwestern regulators, environmentalists and utility representatives headed to Washington, D.C. this week to ask that states and utilities receive credits for their past efforts on EPA carbon targets.
Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell has elevated the city as a model for sustainability, renewable energy and energy efficiency.
MISO states could save billions of dollars complying with EPA carbon rules by banding together and applying strategies beyond the four "building blocks" put forward by the agency, according to an analysis by the grid operator.
Compared to other regions of the country, the upper Midwest is one of the pacesetters nationwide for reducing energy use.
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission decided today to defer a decision on whether to adopt the Environmental Protection Agency's social cost of carbon calculation.
A solar array at the Cincinnati Zoo is cutting energy costs and giving visitors a lesson in clean energy, while also keeping their cars cool. Developers hope SB 310 won't derail future such projects.
A policymaking storm is brewing in Michigan as state officials and lawmakers simultaneously devise a plan to comply with proposed federal carbon rules and also revisit the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard that expires next year.
Former South Carolina Congressman Bob Inglis explains why conservatives need to get past denial and start developing real, market-based solutions to climate change.

Editorial Reviews
Barnes & Noble - Emily FisherWar may be hell, but it can make for great television, as Ken Burns proves in his masterful 11-hour PBS series chronicling the deadliest war in American military history. The Civil War was a landmark TV event that held record numbers of viewers riveted to their screens and reinvented the documentary form. Taking full advantage of the fact that the Civil War was the first war to be captured extensively on camera, Burns synthesizes evocative archival photographs (among them, Matthew Brady's emblematic images of Union soldiers) with diverse and illuminating narrative voices. Well-known actors read diary entries, letters from the front, official dispatches, and speeches from the era. These voice-over readings convey the full range of human fears and hopes of those shaping and being shaped by the war, while an engaging group of historians (most notably Shelby Foote) provide historical perspective. The result is a seamless collage that illuminates, with quiet nobility, this most painful chapter in our nation's past. It's been said that history belongs to the victors; like Homer before him, Burns demonstrates that a major chunk of it belongs to the best storytellers

The Civil War: A Film by Ken Burns based on 0 ratings. 48 reviews.
Ken Burns has a gift for telling stories through period pictures and music. You will not find great detail in the battle plans that a book might use help you to understand why each was won or lost, but there are wonderful pictures of this time blended with stirring music to help express the emotion of this period in time. It also will not provide many reasons for why these men decided to fight; particularlly those in the south. However, it is a great collection well worth watching over and over again.
As research material I found it especially useful, and I would highly recommend it as a learning tool for young students and adults. It's also just good movie-making, and it keeps you wanting to watch more!
Wonderful storytelling, directly from personal accounts of a wide variety of fascinating characters of the era. A great addition to anyone's video library.
The film from start to finish tells the whole story of the war from both sides, warts and all.
This film has to be considered as one of the best films ever made telling the story of the Civil War" Burns relates a compelling history of the war by the use of personal accounts, exceptionally good pictures and music as he spins the history of the Civil War. It is the most referred to film by Civil War magazines, special issues released by papers and magazines and some books and historians.It is compelling, emotional and educational. It is not a film you can watch once. There is some detail to battles yet mostly people are focused on and how it affected them. Few realize the long term affect to the town of Gettysburg which was substantial Burns joins the club of silence as he stays on focus of the battle..It was there that the South lost the war. It is a film that has something for everyone. A very close second and at times I wonder if it is second is a series called the "Forgotten Battles" and generals of the Civil war. This deals far more on the battles.If you want the why's and wherefore's this is not for you. If you want a exceptional picture of the Civil War" this is a must have.
I rate it a 10 on a scale of 1to10
Where do you begin with this series? It is still regarded as one of the greatest television shows ever made, certainly the greatest PBS show ever made. As a history lesson, it is invaluable. It even works on an entertaining level because it brings America's most threatening crisis to a personal view that everyone can comprehend. Ken Burns' "The Civil War" works on both levels. But even as a technical achievement, it is magnificent. Using still photographs from that period, with traditional roots music and actors as figures from that time, "The Civil War" allows us to use our imaginations and to realize how close this country came from becoming two seperate nations. And yes, it makes clear to all of us that slavery was the Number One issue of that war. Narrated by historian David McCulloch, the 11-hour series starts with the years before the war, how the issue slavery in the 1850's was pitting states against each other. It was an issue that many politicans, including President James Buchanan, refused to deal with. By 1860, the election of President Abraham Lincoln, known for his anti-slavery sympathies, sent shock waves through the South that their way of life was now threatened. Then came the firing at Fort Sumter, which according to the series resulted in no deaths. That's another thing about "The Civil War": it reveals facts that most of us probably never knew. Among the other facts the show reveals are that most of the 500,000 people who died during the war died from sickness or disease rather than battle wounds. It also shows how women played a major role in helping and supporting their men, including Mary Chestnutt and Red Cross nurse Clara Barton. As the series progresses, it becomes clear that the North probably could've won the war earlier and easier, since they had the manpower. Problem was, they didn't have the military leaders with the will to actually carry it out. The Union Army went through about ten different commanders before settling on Ulysses S. Grant, a failed businessman, whose persistance made Northern victories possible. The series also spends a lot of time on Robert E. Lee, the leader of the Confederate Army. It mentions, among other things, that he hated slavery but he fought for the South because Virginia was his home and he wanted to defend it. For the first two years of the war, Lee demonstrated that the former Top Ten West Point cadet was one of the shrewdest, keenest and most respected military leaders America ever produced. When the war finally ended, Lee's mansion in Arlington, Virginia became The Arlington National Cemetary, America's most sacred ground, so that Lee and the Confederacy would never use it. "The Civil War" features many prominent actors as the voices of figures like Abe Lincoln (Sam Waterston), Ulysses S. Grant (Jason Robards), Mary Chestnutt (Julie Harris) and so on. However, the voice that seems so prominent in this series is Garrison Keillor, the host of "A Prairie Home Companion"; his Midwestern drawl makes him perfect doing a myriad of voices, mostly of Union soldiers. But Keillor's narration of Walt Whitman, whose experience of working in the hospital tending to the wounded soldiers, are the most memorable and heartbreaking. To Be Continued....
Ken Burns recently updated this classic, and I was fortunate enough to be able to watch it again. It is one of my finest works of cinematography devoted to a documentary. It is comprehensive, and keeps ones interest, (especially if you happen to love history as much as I do). There is no one film that could cover the entire scope and span of the Civil War, but this one comes closest to the possibility. It relies on still photography, documents and commentary from one of our most imminent Civil War historians, Shelby Foote. It is, simply put, a masterpiece. This is Ken Burns' best work, and that is saying quite a lot. It gives you a much deeper understanding of the events of this war, and a greater appreciation of what all of the people endured that were involved, from slave to soldier, from commander to President, no one was left unaltered. It is not only the facts that make the difference, it is how they are presented. And no one does a better job of that than Ken Burns.
Long live Shelby Foote. I am so sorry I never had the chance to see and hear you at a seminar or symposium, but as long this terrific film by Mr. Burns, and your great books exist, you will never be forgotten.
The Ken Burns' Civil War is the best television documentary of all time. The enthralling interview/narration by Shelby Foote was totally engrossing. The words of Sam Watkins and Elisha Hunt Rhodes provided a rare and enjoyable view of the common infantryman. The Civil War is a masterpiece in film production as well as a original approach to film making. Highly recommended to all people with even a slight interest in the war. The soundtrack is very well composed the best song being "Ashokan Farewell" composed Jay Ungar. Ken Burns is truely the greatest documentary director and The Civil War is a testament to those Killer Angels, and the war fought by the Band of Brothers for the People, By the People and of the People.
My apologies for the interruption, but you should know there is no such word as "charish" in the English language. ("cherish" perhaps?) Our education system is denigrated enough as it is. If you wish to call yourself a teacher please try not to embarrass the profession.
History was never half as interesting as this! Ken Burns makes you feel as though you are reliving a time that made the United States proud and strong. Kids all over America should have this shown to them. You cant get this from reading it out of a book. SO much information. I felt it my duty to watch it right through the first time. A+ presentation along with letters home and all the sayins'.
Thank you, Mr. Burns, for bringing the Civil War to life in such an awesome way as you did in this series. I must say that I learned so much more about the Civil War from watching your documentary than I ever did years ago in high school. I could watch the series 50 times in a row and never grow tired of it. I really wished I could have met Shelby Foote before he passed away. He was an extremely knowledgeable individual on the Civil War. May Shelby rest in peace, and may you be applauded on your magnificent work!
'Concerned parent'- It seems exceedingly ironic that you, a person set upon bolstering our education system against outside 'denigration', would participate in the very act you so hope to abolish. Perhaps it is not the innocent typo of a history teacher but the arrogant and condescending attitudes of people like you that need improvement. If your goal was simply to reveal your over-inflated ego, you were successful. If your goal truly is to enhance the impoverished state of our nation's teacher, correcting typos probably is not the best place to start. Great film by the way.
This series is the reason I love history and THE reason studying the American Civil War became my hobby. Ken Burns created a masterpiece when he made this film. It's also his fault that I spent all my birthday money on one thing the year this originally came out on DVD "haha!". Burns has gone on to make many more outstanding documentaries, but this The Civil War is his crowning achievement. Everyone should watch this film as a resource to show what this country has gone through.
They don't teach UK kids about the American Civil War but after seeing this wonderful piece of Television history as a 6th former (17-18yo), I have spent many years visiting the US whenever I can, travelling around civil war battlefields and places of historical importance and seeing the sites that I saw on film. I recall the first time I stood at Gettysburg and looked out across the fields and then shed a quiet tear as I contemplated the bravery and belief that led men to walk to their almost certain deaths to make a stand at what both sides felt was right. Well done Ken on this achievement and goodbye to Mr. Foote who made me smile every time he spoke with his gentle demeanour and rye smile. God Bless you all
Having worn out my VHS copies, I thought it was time to move on to the DVD version. Treated myself for Christmas to this set. Pictures are crystal clear, sound is fine, enjoying the program all over again.
All I have to say is that this fine work should be mandatory viewing for all Americans, it will change your life and the way you think about America.
This is the best documentary ever made about anything. It's a must for history lovers. It's all you'll need to study the Civil War. I watch it every year.
At almost 20 years old, this is still an amazing accomplishment. If you have any interest in our country's history, get this documentary!
This production was the most "pure American history" I've ever viewed. It brings the Civil War period of our history "back" to a reality. The progression of the true story of the War, along with the depth of the research and inclusion of the "story tellers", well presents the story of the American Civil War.

Although Buccaneer Oil had intended last fall to have moved the jack-up rig Endeavour-Spirit of Independence to oil and gas exploration sites in Cook Inlet, that the rig remained at the Homer Deep Water Dock as of Jan. 1 could mean a tidy tax payment to the city of Homer, Kenai Peninsula Borough and the South Peninsula Hospital Service Area. The borough collects tax payments on behalf of cities and service areas.
At 2012 mill rates based on the $68.5 million purchase price of the Endeavour, those entities could receive this amount:
■ $308,250, city of Homer, 4.5 mills;
Buccaneer Energy-Kenai Offshore Ventures and Archer Drilling last Thursday ended their relationship for Archer to operate the $100 million Endeavour-Spirit of Independence jack-up rig. The rig has been in the Homer Harbor since arriving last August, missing a late-summer and early fall drilling window and racking up a large bill in harbor fees.
Buccaneer said it fired Archer. On Wednesday, officials with Archer visiting Homer said that's not true — Archer terminated its contract with Buccaneer on Dec. 13.
Tuesday at the Kenai Courthouse, a man wanted by troopers for four months prior to his arrest on Saturday pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, which include kidnapping and assault.
Superior Court Judge Carl Bauman levied a combined bail amount of $150,000, noting the seriousness of Bret Herrick's offenses as reason for the large payment.
A Kenai grand jury indicted the 53-year-old in September on charges of kidnapping, first-degree burglary, four counts of third-degree assault and third-degree theft.
Although the city of Homer issued Buccaneer Oil Alaska an extension to Dec. 8 to moor its jack-up rig, the Endeavour-Spirit of Independence, at the Deep Water Dock, it doesn't look likely state permits will be issued by Saturday to allow it to put legs down at the Cosmopolitan site off Anchor Point and begin oil and gas exploration.
Buccaneer's original intent had been to stay for just eight days after its arrival in August.
"The next thing you know, we're in October," said Homer Harbormaster Bryan Hawkins.
Buccaneer Energy's jack-up rig Endeavour-Spirit of Independence will leave the Homer Deep Water Dock and Kachemak Bay by Oct. 31, said Buccaneer vice president Mark Landt.
Landt spoke Monday at a Homer City Council meeting on the West Eagle Drilling Program, another Buccaneer project off East End Road on Basargin Road.
Landt took the opportunity to update the council and city on the Endeavour status.
Following the arrest last week of two brothers for second-degree sexual assault at a Sept. 8 teenage drinking party, Homer confronted the larger issue of underage and adult binge drinking and sexual violence in meetings of parents, teenage children and health professionals.
A Homer High School football player and his older brother were arrested today on one count each of second-degree assault, a felony. In charging documents, Alaska State Troopers allege that two brothers, Anthony Resetarits, 20, and Joseph Resetarits, 18, sexually assaulted an extremely drunk boy at a teenage drinking party Sept. 8.
Joseph Resetarits played this season for the Homer Mariners football team, but as of today was removed from the team, said Homer High School Principal Allan Gee. Gee and Coach Cam Wyatt agreed to remove him, Gee said.
During a tour of the jack-up rig Endeavour-Spirit of Independence, visitors saw several stories. Behind safety tape and blocked off zones, men in coveralls and hard hats worked to get the rig shipshape for the fall drilling season. Pipes and wiring spread around the decks. A technician worked on a satellite communications dish. Notes written on walls like "fire extinguisher here" showed items still to be done. In the galley, weary men filled up on chips, sandwiches and fruit.
A game camera set up by Demian Sagerser, an Anchor Point man shot dead in July, provided Alaska State Troopers with one of the first clues to who might have killed him.
Sagerser set up the camera outside his cabin after a prior burglary, and that camera caught the image of a dark-skinned man in a red jacket, red T-shirt and a red ball cap walking toward the cabin the night of his death.
Trooper investigators allege the man in the red jacket is Demarqus D. Green, 20, of Anchorage, and that Green shot and killed Sagerser over a marijuana deal.
A pilot was killed in a plane crash on the McKeon Flats near China Poot Bay this afternoon. The pilot was the only person on board. Alaska State Troopers are investigating the scene. The crash involved a single-engine plane.
The pilot was identified as George Vonderheide, 66, of Girdwood. Next of kin has been notified, trooper spokesperson Beth Ipsen said.

Venus Makes A Rare Visit To D.C.'s National Gallery
One of the best preserved sculptures from Roman antiquity is about to make its Washington, D.C., debut. Host Scott Simon reports the Capitoline Venus will go on display next Wednesday at the National Gallery of Art.
SCOTT SIMON, host:
Visitors to the nation's capital will soon have a lifetime chance to see one of the most precious artifacts of ancient Rome. The Capitoline Venus will go on display next Wednesday at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. She is over six feet tall and naked, covering herself with both lovely arms.
The renowned Greek artist Praxiteles sculpted cold, hard marble into what looks like warm flesh around 360 B.C. The Capitoline Venus has left Rome only once before, when Napoleon seized her in 1797 as part of the spoils of war and brought her to Paris.
She was returned to Rome in 1816 after Napoleon fell. Mark Twain saw the Capitoline Venus in Rome and wrote a short story bearing her name.
The Capitoline Venus will reside at the National Gallery until September, extending her arms to visitors from another century. Rome and Washington D.C. have signed an agreement to become Sister Cities. In return for the visit of the Capitoline Venus, Washington will send Rome more humidity.

Hi Danny! I styled your plugin for a client here: http://www.saspetherick.com. As you see the form has a Name and Email field.
In the plugin settings (List Settings), I've selected the Subscribe with name checkbox and used MERGE1 for the name identifier. That's the identifier Mailchimp uses for the First name. Compare with the Mailchimp form here: http://eepurl.com/qWsuj
However the output of the widget doesn't contain the MERGE1 identifier for the name field. It defaults to a generic
id="nsu-name-1" name="nsu_name". Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks for your awesome plugins!

Why do some Linux admins bind their folders to

It's a matter of convention, like almost all file path related stuff.
One technical reason might be that you can configure the discretionary access controls for the top-level directory of a bind, separately from where it's mounted from. That means if you have a disk partition or image mounted to
But if that sort of thing happens not to be needed in a specific environment where things are bound on
The choice of how to lay out folders and mount points on disk is influenced by:
Educated guess:
Safety reasons. Since NFS will by default not export content beyond filesystem boundaries you add an additional layer of data security when bind-mounting the to-be-exported directory do a special location.

Reese Witherspoon | Reese Witherspoon pics in Designer Jeans
Reese Witherspoon in Frame Denim Le Skinny de Jeanne in Queensway
When I first saw these photos, I thought to myself that Reese Witherspoon looked really pretty and I adored this outfit! She was snapped using her cell phone while outside a medical center.
Reese chose to wear her Frame Denim Le Skinny de Jeanne in Queensway again, this time with a white peplum top, white heels and a purple bag. I absolutely understand why we keep seeing her out in these jeans as I own this exact pair. The jeans fit like a glove, are incredibly flattering and have a versatile indigo wash. Read my review on them here.

Reese Witherspoon in a Citizens of Humanity Jacket and Koral Jeans
It's been quite some time since we've seen a photo of Reese Witherspoon. She was snapped while leaving a dermatologist's office in Los Angeles, wearing a pair of Koral skinny jeans in clean white with a Citizens of Humanity Boarderline denim jacket in Sullivan.
Reese's denim style always looks so classic, we rarely see her wearing distressed or boyfriend styles, she usually chooses a slim, straight leg. I like that she added a black belt to this look, it really adds polish and plays off of her black and white color palate. You can buy Koral and Citizens of Humanity online from Shopbop.com.
Reese Witherspoon in a Denim Shirt
Reese Witherspoon got snapped while chatting away on her cell phone after doing some shopping at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills, California a few days ago.
Reese wore a light wash denim shirt over a floral skirt/dress and boots. I love it when she wears these types of outfits as I find them to really suit her easy going style. This is perfect for Spring in every way! I think opting for the ankle boots with this look was a great choice! They just toughen it up that little bit.

Reese Witherspoon in Goldsign Glam Skinny Jeans in Petal
Reese Witherspoon looked less than amused to be caught by the paparazzi while out running errands. She dressed particularly casual in a pair of Goldsign Glam Skinny jeans in Petal with a plaid shirt, t shirt, and brown booties.
Usually, we see Reese a bit more dressed up, even with her more casual looks, she's usually wearing a pair of heels, so it is nice to see her wearing something really easy and relaxed. You can see how else she's worn Goldsign before here and you can buy the brand online at Shopbop.com.

Paddy Johnson
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Paddy Johnson is a New York-based art critic, blogger, curator and writer. Johnson is the founder and editor of Art Fag City (renamed Art F City), which is an art blog.
Born in Guelph, Ontario, Johnson was educated at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick and continued her education at Rutgers University. She has slowly gained notoriety as an art critic in the New York art scene. She is also known for her live coverage of major art fairs such as the Armory Show, Venice Biennale, Frieze Art Fair, and Art Basel in Miami and Switzerland.
She lives and works in Brooklyn, and she pens a regular column for L Magazine[1] in New York. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including ArtReview, Art & Australia, Art in America, artkrush, The Daily Beast,[2] FlashArt, Flavorpill, The Guardian,[3] The Huffington Post,[4] More Intelligent Life,[5] New York Press, NYFA Current, Print Magazine, The Reeler, Time Out NY.
She has worked with Location One as a visiting critic and attended the 2007 iCommons conference in Croatia as a blogger. In 2008, she served on the board of the Rockefeller Foundation New Media Fellowships and became the first blogger to earn a Creative Capital Arts Writers grant from the Creative Capital Foundation which is part of the Andy Warhol Foundation. She has also served on a panel for ArtPrize.
She contributed to the book I like your work: art and etiquette published by Paper Monument.
In December, 2011, Johnson was named in a federal libel lawsuit in United States district court for a May, 2011 article she published in Art Fag City, which suggested an art restorer was a forger and committed crimes.[6]
Sound of Art[edit]
In November 2010 Johnson released an LP called "Sound of Art," a DJ battle record that compiles mixes based from sounds recorded in art spaces, galleries, and museums in Manhattan and Brooklyn, pitting the neighboring boroughs against each other. Johnson raised over $11,000[7] with a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project, calling upon sound art lovers and a cadre of collectors, even offering a dinner with herself and artist William Powhida, a former art critic, to the highest bidder. Johnson predicts the project will spawn follow-up records, including East Coast vs. West Coast, and Canada vs. USA.[8] Johnson told WNYC's Carolina Miranda that the Brooklyn recordings sound more DIY.[9]

Danny Bryant
"Working with Bernie Marsden and Walter Trout on this album
Danny Bryant is pleased to announce the release of his highly anticipated new studio album "Blood Money" – released by Jazzhaus Records on Friday 29th January 2016.
His third album to be produced by Richard Hammerton, following in the footsteps of 2014's Temperature Rising and 2013's Hurricane, the new album features Danny collaborating with Walter Trout and Bernie Marsden on two tracks.
Says Bryant, "I wanted to make this album ever since I began my musical journey 20 years ago as a 15 year old boy who fell in love with his parent's record collection."
On Blood Money, Bryant set out to record an album that showed an introspective return to his roots and an appreciation of his blues influences, by paying homage, as he puts it "to all the different influences and flavors of this wonderful music that I have loved for many years."
Particular tracks like 'On the Rocks' is a homage to the late great Albert Collins, 'Holding All The Cards' is a tribute to Jimmy Reed, while 'Unchained' harks back to vintage Albert King Stax recordings.
The title track, 'Blood Money', was a song that Bryant had on the fire for several years. He just needed the right time and the right collaborator to bring the song to life. This particular song was specifically written with Walter Trout in mind, who was Bryant's guitar mentor when he had a chance meeting with him at a concert when he was only 14 years old.
"I wanted us to share the song with Walter," says Bryant. "I am really thrilled that he agreed to play guitar on the track. I think his contribution is truly stunning."
Another highlight of the Blood Money recording sessions was the contribution from Mr Bernie Marsden. One of Bryant's all-time favorite guitarists and singer-songwriters, Bryant invited Marsden to record a special ballad that Bryant had written entitled 'Just Won't burn'. The song was recorded in one afternoon and during the recording, Bryant got the opportunity to play Marsden's famous 1959 Les Paul -'The Beast'.

I created install discs using the Dell DataSafe 2.0 backup utility in order to re-install Windows on a friend's laptop (Dell Inspiron N5110). I ran the discs to do a factory reset.
After the whole process, it booted, started loading Windows 7, displayed the messages "setup is preparing your computer for first use" and "setup is checking video performance," and showed the login screen.
However, there don't seem to be any active users on the machine—I opened a command prompt window to check the users on the machine.
Using the command prompt (again, from the login window), I activated/enabled the administrator account, and even created another admin account, and upon logging in received several errors, couldn't load any MMCs, etc.

The North Shore Fire Department doused a blaze at Andrew Automotive Collision Repair Center in Glendale this afternoon after a painting booth within the structure caught fire and caused an estimated $100,000 in damages. No one was injured.
According to an NSFD news release:
Around 2:30 p.m. an NSFD fire company was leaving the Glendale firehouse when firefighters onboard notice heavy black smoke to the southwest. Almost simultaneously a call came in from Andrew Automotive and the Glendale fire company, along with others, were dispatched to the scene.
Arriving crews found heavy black smoke coming from the building. With additional crews the fire was quickly brought under control and extinguished.
NSFD said the fire started when a static charge ignited paint fumes in the booth.
On-scene commanders from NSFD and the Glendale Police Department accounted for everyone who had been in the building at the time of the fire.

The life cycles of many cnidarian species are notable for including two stages with very different morphologies – sessile polyp and swimming medusa. Cnidarians thus provide an opportunity to study the developmental bases of differences in body organization without the need to compare organisms of different taxa. Information about the two life cycle stages suggests the following questions about differences in their development. (1) Are the mouth and tentacle-bearing region (bell margin) specified using any of the same molecular mechanisms as in the polyp? (2) Has the oral-aboral axis of the medusa been truncated relative to that of the polyp by elimination of molecular processes specifying aboral tissue identity? (3) Is the elongated region between the hydrozoan medusa mouth and tentacle ring (the manubrium) patterned using processes that pattern the entire oral-aboral axis in the polyp? We describe how data on their expression of FoxA, NK-2, and Emx genes during polyp and medusa development, together with reagents targeting specific signaling pathways, could be used to address these questions. We have isolated portions of a FoxA2 homologue, an NK-2 gene, and two Emx genes from Podocoryna carnea Sars, an experimentally tractable hydrozoan with both polyp and medusa stages. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that the two P. carnea Emx genes are the result of a gene duplication.

When I registered my domain I was thinking it should only be a personal blog - but with approx. three visitors a month, I've changed it to wordpress (so I can manage my content better) and changed the topics to include design (css/photoshop), scripting and working with databases up to video games.
Updates are about one a day, sometimes two, and sometimes none.
I'm just looking for general tips on the layout (yes, I know, it's pre-fab), some plugins I should be using or tips on content (broaden the topics, write more, write more clearly, etc)
Thanks for reading ;)

PROS / MixMeister looks good for beginners and intermediate DJs.
CONS / The downside is that it is missing many of the features found in other DJ software.
VERDICT / MixMeister is an entry level DJ program. If you are looking for more performance features, you may want to look somewhere else.
The MixMiester Express 7 DJ mixing software allows you to develop and maintain high-quality, professional music mixing quickly and easily. It also gives you the power to construct original mixes in just a few minutes and then distribute them by exporting them to a CD, iPod, or uploading them directly to the Internet.
It should come as no surprise that what a DJ aspires toward is unnoticeable and flawless transitions between tracks. To help you in this regard, this software program has a feature called automatic beat-mixing, which can be initiated with one click of the mouse. It is also on friendly terms with iTunes, so you can import your music library and have Express 7 automatically categorize it for you.
Some of the input and output features integrated into this DJ mixing software include a non-destructive editing component so that your original files remain intact, methods to display and edit ID3 tags, such as artist, album, BPM, genre and title. You also have the ability to burn your music mixes onto a CD without having to use any other software program, export and play your original mix tunes on most if not all portable audio systems and effortlessly copy your mix with smooth transitions between tunes.
Additionally, MixMeister Express 7 supports audio formats such as WAV, WMA, AIF, M4A and MP3. It allows you to mix up to four stereo tracks and adjust the tempo according to your whim or the atmosphere of your venue.
What impressed us most about this company was their customer service and technical support options. Through their dedicated support page, you can check out some tips and tutorials from other users, stop in at the user forums via their community site and read their return and refund policy.
They provide a free trial version of their software so that you can give the product a first-hand evaluation before you decide to purchase it. Also, on the support page are direct links to their Frequently Asked Questions listings and to their technical support request forms, which allow you to fill out a detailed online questionnaire and then send it directly to their support staff.
Overall, MixMeister Express 7 DJ mixing software makes the impression of a good program for beginner and intermediate DJs due to its simple and straightforward interface; however, veteran amateur DJs might see it as overly simple and want more technical tools. The company's service and support options are exceptional and the fact that the software is compatible with both Mac and PC is a definite plus.

St. Augustine Council No. 469 Navy League of the United States marked the league's 100th birthday and the council's 28th Oct. 10 with a dinner meeting at the Riverview Club, St. Augustine Shores.
After a salute by the VFW honor guard and following dinner, George Grech presented the 2003 board: Rob Ballinger, president; David Sullivan, vice president, membership; Hugh Scott, vice president, military affairs; Mickey Peppin, vice president, programs; Anita Profitt, secretary; Dick Roth, treasurer.
Board members are Bruce Beal, Herman Mehling, Randy Hudgins, Grech, Ken Newman, Jack Seeman, Don Small, George Brenick, Will Spencer and Donna Stratton.
Brenick described the founding and historical development of the Navy League since its 1902 founding. It has been a valuable asset to the Navy since its founding, he noted, serving as a major source of support and public education, the "right arm" of the Navy in peace and war.
Will Spencer presented the council with its original, 1974, charter, which will be kept by council presidents and passed down from year to year.
Four members of the original council still reside in St. Augustine, and two, Dr. Reuben Plant and Herbie Wiles, attended. The other two, Art Runk and Gus Craig had other commitments. All four have taken an important part in the council over the years, Brenick noted, and have rendered valuable service to the community.
Among October activities for the council are the USCG Sailor of the Year presentation and Blue Angels air show Oct. 31 in Jacksonville.
Regular events include the BYOL luncheon the fourth Wednesday of each month and the regular board meeting the first Tuesday.
This week's BYOL lunch will be at noon at the Garden Eatery, 4320 A1A South.
Sailor of quarter
In other news, Petty Officer First Class Melbe Watson has been honored as Sailor of the Quarter by the league.
Ceremonies were held earlier this year at the Naval Air Station, Jacksonville.
Watson was selected by Fleet Air Logistics Squadron 58 (VR-58) for her exemplary performance during the fourth quarter of 2001.
The award includes a paid weekend at the Ponce de Leon Hotel Golf and Convention Center, a cash award and passes to popular St. Augustine attractions. Watson said she, her husband and two children are looking forward to visiting the city.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 220814 AFDEAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 314 AM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 314 AM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016 Main concern in the very near term will be the decaying MCS currently edging into northeast Missouri, and how much the cloud cover and precipitation associated with it will impact temperatures this morning. Warming cloud tops and surging outflow indicate that the complex may be on its last legs early this morning, but any lingering cloud cover could definitely dampen diurnal temperature rises across far northern and northeast Missouri. Have trended cloud cover up and slowed temperature rises across the northeastern third of the CWA throughout the morning, but did not significantly edit afternoon highs as even a short amount of sunshine will allow temps to soar in the overarching very warm pattern. Impressive, broad ~600 dm 500 hPa heights over the southern Plains will eventually lower and retrograde back to the west this weekend; however, this will have no short-term impact on local temperatures as the thermal ridge continues to bulge eastward across the central Plains. Persistence forecasting has been and will continue to be the name of the game with high temperatures in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees expected today and Saturday until increasing cloud cover and an eventual shift in the pattern begin to interrupt the dangerous heat Sunday. Have left the heat warning as is due to very little change in the weekend forecast. A shortwave trough pushing into the Pacific NW today will round the ridge this weekend and eventually begin to make some southward progress as the upper high weakens early next week, allowing a slow- moving cold front to sag southward across the Plains and eventually into the forecast area by Sunday night or early Monday. Increased cloud cover ahead of the front on Sunday will decrease highs for the northern third of the CWA, then will progressively spread southward and keep temperatures more seasonable (and more reasonable!) for the coming work week. Showers and storms still look possible along the frontal boundary late Sunday night through Monday, but have been hesitant to raise PoPs above 50 with the bulk of the upper-level forcing remaining well north of the forecast area. The front will stall and eventually wash out over the region Tuesday; however, the upper high will remain well to the west of the region and allow for more northwesterly flow aloft to dominate our pattern, keeping rain and storm chances possible on-and-off through the remainder of the forecast period. Currently, the next best potential for rain will come Wednesday as a shortwave trough slides down into the region; however, specific timing is definitely not set in stone for any of these later-in-the-week features. && .Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night) Issued at 1134 PM CDT THU JUL 21 2016 VFR conditions expected through the rest of the forecast period. Low level wind shear remains marginal with southwesterly 30 to 35 knot winds about 500 to 1000 feet off the surface and southwesterly winds around 5 to 10 knots at the surface. Should surface winds go calm then LLWS concern will increase, but so long as surface winds remain in the 5 to 10 kt range then LLWS will remain marginal. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Christine O'Donnell Doesn't Have to Answer to Piers Morgan
"Don't you think, as a host, if I say 'This is what I wanna talk about,' that's what we should address?"
Now that she's got a book to promote, Delaware's wildest tea partier is back on the circuit. And, as Piers Morgan learned the hard way, she has lost none of her old charm. O'Donnell sat down with the CNN host on Wednesday night to discuss her memoir, Trouble Maker, but she did not stay long. The interview opened with a vintage clip of her appearance on MTV's Sex and the '90s, in which she shares her anti-masturbation views with other nineties-styled youths, and quickly devolved from there. When Morgan started asking the tough questions ("Have you committed lust in your heart?"; "Why are you being so weird about this?"), Christine got evasive and hand-gesturey and, eventually, indignant enough to call Morgan "a little rude" before abruptly leaving the set. Apparently, she had somewhere else to be. (That is really what she said).

Those with gold making the rules
Published: Monday, April 27, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 25, 2009 at 4:19 p.m.
To The Editor: What do some County Commissioners not understand about conflict of interest?
Most assuredly developers, contractors and Realtors have a vested interest in county growth as their personal incomes are dependent upon it and thus have a conflict of interest.
Therefore, for the sake of propriety, if not for the outright possibility of impropriety and lack objectivity, County Planning Board members who are developers or contractors or Realtors should not been put there. But now that they are there, they should resign.
County growth has not been managed effectively and growth has not been moderated to be synchronized with county infrastructure. This recent flap over the assurance of water availability in new development is a tell-tale sign.
And these recent appointments of the members of the County Planning Board by the County Commissioners gives us all a little insight as to why County growth management is a problem.
Those with the money are making the rules. This is not only a local problem but it is a problem for the States and for Washington as well.
Answers must be found. And solutions may mean tighter controls on campaign financing, lobbyists, political action committees, and speaking fees.

Chicken Pesto Parmesan (Non-Breaded)
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 35 mins
A non-breaded but super tasty spin on chicken parmesan. This is a recipe I just threw together one day when I was trying to think of something to do with chicken breasts and a little leftover pasta sauce. It's EASY and takes no time at all to prep if you have pre-made sauce and pesto. I make this with Kittencal's Perfect Pesto (#144195) and my own Magic Fresh Tomato Sauce (#388224). I never bother measuring myself, so you might have to adjust the amount of tomato sauce so it's close to but not covering the top of the chicken. Serve this with angel hair pasta if desired. Once again, I will beg you to use real shredded parmesan cheese and not the powdered stuff in a can. This makes a huge difference, and you don't even have to shred it yourself if you don't want to - just pick up a bag of pre-shredded. Any Italian blend cheese works great too.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed if using frozen)
- 2 cups tomato sauce (you can use regular spaghetti or pizza sauce)
- 4 teaspoons prepared pesto sauce
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (or a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella)
- Spoon a little tomato sauce in a baking pan to cover the bottom and lay chicken breasts on top. Add more sauce around (but not on top of) breasts as desired, but only enough to come a little way up the sides of the chicken - make sure the top is uncovered!.
- Divide and spread pesto on each chicken breast, adjusting the quantity depending on how much you like pesto - I use a lot!
- Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until chicken is done (juices run clear). The exact amount of time will vary depending on the size/thickness of your chicken, so you have to watch them (I recommend a meat thermometer).
- About 5-10 minutes before chicken is done, top each breast with shredded cheese.
- Serve chicken breasts with or without pasta, spooning sauce from the pan around or on top of chicken.
Most Helpful
This used ingredients from the pantry in a new way, was easy to do, and tasted good! What more do you need? There's plenty of sauce to spoon over a pasta too. I served with steamed zucchini, a green salad, and toasted beer bread. Made for Fall 2012 Pick A Chef and I'm glad I tried it.
Excellent! Always have a large box of chicken breasts in the freezer which makes this recipes a real find! Having a saucy base, topped with the pesto sauce and cheese makes for a company quality meal! Used spagetti sauce, a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella. Was very genereous with the pesto which I made with ingredients fresh from the garden. A real winner!

Very disappointed in the comment by the person who goes by Mount Olympus. Is
"sour grapes" a strong enough response to the negative words? It is sad
that someone would attempt to degrade an amazing turnaround by a team that
almost everyone had pronounced dead two weeks ago.
Actually many people had pronouced them dead as late as this morning, with similar negative talk that they "had a nice run" but will never beat a quality team like Southern Mississippi especially after having to travel 2000 plus miles and play on the other guys home floor.
BYU will robably hear the same talk again, but know what, they are is still playing and guaranteed at least one more game in MSG. Good job Cougars!
Finally, Utah and Weber should be complimented also. They both had excellent post seasons, in fact, Weber is still playing in their tournament.

Wow, three wins in a row by healthy margins! And BYU finally beat a team on the

and...BYU is STILL playing!
Very nice game for the Cougars. Credit Zylstra for lighting it up at the right time. Although there were some errant passes trying to break the press and, what I thought, much too early looks at the basket when shortening the game seemed preferable, the team maintained composure and finished strong.
Sure it's not the NCAA, but so many consecutive games on ESPN channels is still great exposure. New York City and Madison Square Garden is a good reward for this type of turnaround. Playing late into the year, and with some pressure, bodes well for the returning players.
Best of luck in the Big Apple!
Great feeling to root for your own team in an actual late-March game instead of hanging on vicariously through teams that finished 7, 8, or 9 places higher in your OWN conference.
One constant in the world...we won't see Chris B. ... until the pregame story for Baylor.

AbstractEMAG Technologies' Phase II SBIR proposal addresses the United States Army's need for a mobile tracking system capable of providing real-time Time Space Position Information (TSPI) for small missiles, rockets, aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for use on test ranges across the country. Our proposed system overcomes the limitations faced by current radar systems used to track low-flying targets on test ranges and extends these benefits to a large range of ballistic projectiles as well aerial vehicles. The proposed system is capable of all weather operation, including accurate tracking in dense smoke, torrential rain, and driving snow. The system is inexpensive, inherently easy to deploy, low-maintenance, and low-cost. The system is compact and scalable making it possible for integration of this tracking system onto UAVs and other mobile platforms. The system is ideal for tracking UAVs and can therefore be used to enhance the current C4ISR capabilities of both mounted and dismounted commanders.

Abstract60550 The chemical and thermal instabilities of liquid electrolytes have hampered the performance of lithium batteries in terms of power and energy density, cycle and self life, and safety. While solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have the potential to overcome these problems, some of their electrochemical properties, such as ionic conductivity, are not satisfactory for high performance lithium batteries. This project will develop a new class of solid polymer electrolytes, dendrimer solid polymer electrolytes, for lithium-based batteries. These dendrimer SPEs will be designed to have superior electrochemical properties required for high performance lithium-polymer batteries. In Phase I, the dendrimer SPEs were synthesized and processed into films, their electrochemical and mechanical properties were evaluated, and superior electrochemical properties were observed. In Phase II, the properties of the dendrimer SPEs will be optimized, the preparation will be scaled-up, and the new films will be evaluated for full battery cell performance. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: Lithium-polymer batteries have extensive applications in commercial products including electric and hybrid vehicles, radios, telephones, video cameras, laptop and hand held computers, power tools, and other consumer products. Military applications include energy storage for the all-electric ship and aircraft, electric weapons, spacecraft, and probes.
