A Louisville man was injured Saturday after a one-vehicle crash on Meadow Creek Road.
According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Office report, Edwin "Wynn" L. Rogers, 43, of 3837 Jupiter Road was traveling east on Meadow Creek Road at 8:28 p.m.
The report states that Rogers ran off the right shoulder of the road and into a culvert, striking several trees before coming to a rest. He was extricated from his 2004 Suzuki passenger car by Campbellsville/Taylor County Rescue personnel.
He was a man of few words on Tuesday night, but if his resume of accomplishments is any indication, he is very active in his community.
"Thank you very much," he said. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Dr. W.R. "Randy" Davenport was one of five award winners recognized at Tuesday night's annual Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce banquet.
Davenport took home the Everette Lee Citizen of the Year Award. A sidebar to this story lists the other winners.
Those who intend to take advantage of the federal appliance rebate had better act fast.
Just a week into the program, which began last Thursday, more than 60 percent of the $4 million allotted to Kentucky has been spent. The program continues until the funds are gone.
And local businesses have benefited from the program's early success.
"We've been overwhelmed," said William Johnson, one of the store managers at Coppock Appliance & Electronics. "For us, it's been a very good success."
Taylor County High School Drama's spring production will be "The Wizard of Oz."
Students will perform the play Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. All performances will be at the Campbellsville University Theater. Tickets are $5 per person.
Performances will be by two casts of students.
Karen McAnelly is the sponsor.
At a recent talent showcase, Dorothy was portrayed by Bella Jeffrey, the Tin Man by Philip Matherly, Scarecrow by Meredith Alexander and the Cowardly Lion by Ashley Moss.
A Hodgenville man accused of raping a young girl has pleaded guilty to amended charges and was sentenced to 90 days in jail for his crimes.
Joshua O. Henderson, 25, of 320 Devores Lane was indicted in July 2009 on charges of third-degree rape and intimidating a participant in a legal process.
On Tuesday, Henderson pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and facilitation to commit intimidation.
According to the indictment, Henderson was accused of having sex with a girl younger than age 16 in July 2008.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Mike Dubree investigated.
The state is once again seeking requests concerning a lodge/golf course project at Green River Lake State Park.
An advertisement in today's News-Journal seeks Requests for Expressions of Interest, or RFIs, "from the private sector to develop, finance, construct, operate and maintain a first class, high quality lodge, cottages, golf villas, and/or golf course."
The state has issued several Requests for Proposals, or RFPs, for the project in the past, but this is the first RFI.
Officials are nearly finished drafting the County's 2010-2011 budget, which includes a 3 percent raise for all full-time employees. Magistrates, however, have agreed to not give themselves a raise.
In the budget, though, there could be less money than anticipated for blacktopping.
Last Tuesday, Taylor Fiscal Court's Budgets, Audits and Personnel Committee met to discuss the budget.
At the group's previous meeting on April 6, members said the budget stood at virtually the same as this fiscal year's $8.4 million.
Three candidates want the County's top leadership position this election year, and two of them will face off in the May Primary Election.
Republicans Greg Gribbins and Gary Osborne will battle next month to represent their party in the Taylor County Judge/Executive race on the General Election ballot this November.
Incumbent Eddie Rogers was the lone Democrat to file for the office. He advances directly to the November election and will face the winner of the race between Gribbins and Osborne.
Campbellsville was home to two Earth Day celebrations Thursday.
A swamp oak tree was planted on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on the lawn of Ransdell Chapel at Campbellsville University. Local officials, CU faculty, staff and trustees and second and third-grade students from Angie Russell and Laura Dicken's Campbellsville Elementary School classes shoveled dirt at the site.
"Do you understand what you're doing here today?" the judge asked.
In shackles and orange and white stripes, he replied, "Yes, sir."
Gary Lynn Beard pleaded guilty on Wednesday morning to shooting and killing David Brad Williams in June 2008.
Beard, 26, of 160 Happy Hill Drive in Campbellsville, had been scheduled to face a jury of his peers just two hours before entering the plea. He appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Dan Kelly.
The courtroom was silent as Beard answered Kelly's questions.

Gas South and The Silverton Foundation have recently partnered to help families in need due to large, unexpected costs. We spoke with Josh Moffitt, president and founder of The Silverton Foundation, to learn more about The Foundation and how the partnership is making a difference in the community.
What is your organization's mission?
When your child has a severe medical condition or illness, priorities shift in order to do whatever it takes to care for your child. Whether it's hospital visits, long-term hospitalization or ongoing medical life-saving treatment, those costs can add up quickly and many people struggle to handle them. The Silverton Foundation was established to lessen the things families have to worry about during difficult times. The Foundation provides mortgage, rent or short-term housing payments to families with chronically ill children. We help families maintain their homes and reduce financial and emotional burdens, allowing parents to focus on getting their child better so they can return home.
Why is your organization's mission important?
Families lose their homes for many reasons, but the two biggest reasons are because of a loss of job or health issues. In our families' cases, the situation is even more compounded because it involves the health of their child, and in many cases, we see at least one parent lose their job to care for the child.
Is there an upcoming initiative you would like to highlight?
We have recently issued a challenge for people to moonwalk across their next finish line! At the end of any road race, graduation, you name it, we want you to take a photo or video of the moonwalk and post it to social media using the #MoonwalkYourFinish hashtag. For every post, our sponsors will make a donation to The Foundation. This is just another fun way for us to raise awareness for our cause!
Our partnership with Gas South has also raised awareness about our program. When you sign up with Gas South, you receive a 2 cent per therm discount and Gas South will also donate $50 a year to our foundation – simple and easy! Click here to watch the video on Facebook to learn more.
How has Gas South's partnership benefited your organization?
Gas South has been a great partner in getting this initiative off the ground. It's not only an amazing opportunity to raise awareness, but it has also provided a sustainable funding avenue for our organization – and in turn, our clients save money!
What have Gas South employees done to help?
Everyone has been very helpful with their time, energy and ideas. Even though we are a new (only three years old) and small organization, Gas South has jumped in and treated us as if we are a national brand.
After a long, cold winter and a six-month hiatus, baseball season is finally back. So what better way to take in last week's Atlanta Braves home-opener than hanging out with 350 friends, witnessing the special 40-year commemoration of Hank Aaron's 715th home run, and spending time with a former boxing heavyweight world champ?
The friends were in fact realtors who attended the 3rd Annual Realtor Appreciation Day, hosted by Gas South, Atlanta Peach Movers, Silverton Mortgage and Pierre & Associates. It was a great way for us to celebrate, and thank the real estate agents who have helped make our Realtor Advantage Program (RAP) a success.
And the champ? Local legend Evander Holyfield, who even took up cornhole for the night, made possible by Gas South's Cornhole Challenge. The verdict: He could compete for the 'cornholder' championship title, too!
Adding more buzz to the night was the kickoff of our Summer RAP contest. We're giving away an iPad in May, and every realtor who refers a client to Gas South will be entered into the drawing.
We all had fun and we were thankful for the opportunity to show our appreciation to our realtor partners, who had a great time too!
So here's to doing it again next year. Go Braves!
Realtors are fully aware of how important going the extra mile is. That's because their livelihood depends on it. And, more often than not, it's the last impression you leave on a client – not just the first one — that defines how favorably they viewed your service and whether they would recommend you to others.
So what does all this have to do with natural gas or Gas South? Quite a lot, actually. Our new Realtor Advantage Program (RAP for short…and, yes, I chose the catchy acronym) was designed to provide realtors with a great, impression-setting housewarming present for their clients: an exclusive discounted rate on natural gas with no deposit ever required plus other special enrollment incentives.
And not only is RAP more generous with your clients than other referral programs, it's not a one-way street — you also receive special gift opportunities for your client referrals. (What's the gift? Call 770-763-4678 to find out)
Another key difference: Our user-friendly realtor portal. The portal allows you to track the status of your client referrals so you can see who's signed up (or who hasn't) and when you will receive your rewards. Another bonus: There's also a section which has printable materials that explain our great offer to your clients, saving you the trouble.
However, as great as RAP is, it still lacks something important. A rap! That's right – a tune with lyrics that are as catchy as the program…a rap for our RAP, so to speak. In fact, I brought this up in a meeting the other day and, surprisingly, there were few takers for the assignment.
Anyway, before I go off on a tangent, I'll (w)rap up my debut blog post (sorry, couldn't resist) by encouraging you to sign up for RAP or spread the word. We're really excited about our program and know you will value your rewards as well as the special benefits for your clients. So, sign up today and learn all of the details.
Oh, and there's another reason to sign up right away. Our Summer RAP contest is in full effect. We're giving away an iPad this August, and every realtor who refers a client will be submitted into the drawing. Anyway, for now, that's a (w)rap!
The Gas South blog provides the communities we serve with valuable information, such as local events, special discounts, energy saving tips, and more. We strive to foster a conversation within our community through educational and useful content.

Chinese at UNC
Photo by Michelle Low
The South Gate of the City Wall at Xi'an
The Chinese Program at UNC stresses acquisition of the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing in Mandarin Chinese. Classes at all levels are performance-oriented, geared toward oral and written proficiency in Chinese, and taught in Chinese. Students develop critical thinking skills as well as independent learning skills as they acquire familiarity with traditional and modern Chinese language, literature, culture, and civilization. Extra-curricular activities encourage cultural awareness and promote organizational and leadership skills.The Chinese Culture Club has been active in organizing and hosting the annual UNC Lunar New Year Celebration, and actively participates in campus-wide activities such as the annual Taste of A/PASS To find out more about the UNC Chinese Culture Club and be informed of its activities, join their group on Facebook.
Students can study elementary through advanced levels of Chinese at UNC and can supplement their study at UNC with several UNC exchange and study-abroad opportunities. Students can apply course work in Chinese to majors in Asian Studies, or International Affairs, or to minors in Chinese or Asian Studies. Graduates can pursue internships abroad to continue improving language skills and gain experience in areas such as business, education, or government work.
Students completing advanced level work in Chinese can pursue graduate study in Chinese, Asian Studies, Chinese History, International Affairs, or other related fields in which proficiency in Chinese language and culture are desired. Students who combine their language study with other fields such as business, political science, international trade and relations, economics, or anthropology, can become involved in careers in international business, world affairs and government, social work, or the arts.
Placement in the Appropriate Chinese Course
Students with no experience in Chinese should sign up for Chinese 101.
Students with some previous experience in Chinese should contact Dr. Michelle Low at (970) 351-1366 or via e-mail at: email@example.com.

Media They're Having a Pledge Drive Over at KUOW…
posted by April 7 at 7:52 AMon
…and I just heard 'em say that they need your pledgenow! right away! before it's too late!to stay on the air. Things sound pretty desperate over there on the Ave, huh? So now might be a good time to re-read this October 2007 piece in the Stranger by Michael Hood of Blatherwatch:
"When staff found out there was all this moneynot only in the bank, but being generated [during pledge week]they asked: Why are we duping the donors?" That's how a former KUOW staffer characterized internal reaction to the station's upcoming annual financial report. Last year, the station had a $1.3 million surplus. This year's report, according to the former staffer, will show an even larger surplus.
So why do KUOW's twice-yearly pledge drivesone started on October 8make it sound like the wolves are at the door?
"Maybe they're too good at raising money," says one longtime supporter of the station.
As staffers beg for donations on-air this week, listeners will be told that their money is desperately needed for programming, programming, programming. Listeners will not be told about surpluses or the station's expansion, its planned innovations, or new platforms being built with the money KUOW raises from its listeners. There's nothing wrongit's commendable, eventhat KUOW is using its surpluses to expand and innovate. But public radio listeners are famously well-informed and sophisticated. They can be trusted with the whole story.

Friday, February 19, 2016Why Power Matters: Beyond Amplifiers To The Big PicturePat Brown 02/19/16 11:37 AM,For professional audio people, the word "power" usually conjures up visions of racks of amplifiers are used to drive the loudspeakers in a sound system. But the amplifier and other system components must have a stable power source from which to operate. Thus the issue of power distribution, all the way from Hoover Dam to your sound system, is vital. Some of the principles of audio signal distribution in sound systems are borrowed directly from utility companies, and so… View this post

In the recording process, engineers regularly encounter technical issues that cause noises to be introduced or audio signals to be degraded inadvertently. To the careful listener, such events remove the illusion of transparent audio technology, revealing a recorded musical performance and reminding them that they are listening to a recording mediated by once invisible but now clearly apparent technology.

"Christianity Is So Gay"
Duh no kidding!
Not necessarily news but a fun article
If that movie doesn't suck I'll eat a rubber bullet.
Well, "filming in Seattle", while technically accurate, is still a little misleading. The unit is only spending three or four days in town shooting some location footage at the Paramount, Convention Center, and in Belltown. The bulk of the movie is being shot in - surprise, surprise - Vancouver, B.C.
Doug, I think your GI tract is completely safe...
The BiPolar article goes well with the Nintendo Wii feature.
I think if people could get as animated in helping or discussing or cooperating with one another, as they do by interacting with a screen, their might be less symptoms of manic depression. I think bipolarism dwell within all of us. Some people just don't have the discipline or the healthy outlets to deal with it.
I too am disappointed by the pace of success of the chicken that the egg I had for breakfast would have become.
As to the wage thing "The average hourly wage for workers below management level" means that if it rises fastest for, oh say, lots of workers paid minimum wage (due to recent increases), most people could still be losing money.
An average is much less meaningful than a median wage - a median means half are above it, half are below it.
If they don't have a guy in Nikes kicking down the Niketown sign, I'm boycotting the movie.

b. I know that such a semantics, and when I want to highlight some words in bold just without any meaning, then I need
b, not

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 84
Director: Brad Armstrong
Company: Wicked Pictures
Cast: Devinn Lane, Barrett Blade, Sydnee Steele, Kaylani Lei, Bridgette Kerkove, Randy Spears
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Lane fans and couples looking for something a touch darker than most of the stuff already in the Wicked section.
Devinn Lane plays a cop here in this moody drama revolving around the murders of fetish models that all have photographer Barrett Blade. As if it wasn't stressful enough, add Lane having ex-boyfriend Steven St. Croix as her partner to solve it. Lane places herself as bait after four murders have been committed by doing a hot modeling session for Blade. This leaves her confused, and she runs into the arms of nicely slutty and aggressive Sydnee Steele. The two seal the deal in the ladies room in a scalding hot scene. Lane gets her twat filled with a pretty pink vibe perched prettily over a sink and Steele's tongue in her ass drives her insane. Pre-nom it for Best Girl/Girl.
Lane and Blade share a fevered dark room pounding. Domme Bridgette Kerkove and sub Randy Spears turns out to be a false lead on the case, but she gives him a luscious-looking b.j. before she gets her pussy and ass fucked by him. The ending? Think Sea of Love, and you are almost right.

Wondering what people think about this and if anyone has had the same experience (either with the feelings, or with the process...)
I didn't change my last name when I got married. DH had no issues with that. But when we had DD, he wanted her to have one last name, as opposed to a hyphenated name. It's not because he's so traditional, he just doesn't like hyphenated names. So we gave her my last name as a middle name (let's say I'm Ms. Smith, he's Mr. Jones; she's Daughter Smith Jones).
I'm about to have our second daughter, and I'm realizing I'm not really happy with this last name situation. I think it's partly because I've realized how irrelevant the middle name is - it barely gets used, it's just sort of symbolically there. I feel my husband and I share parenting really well, and are both equally invested and in love with our daughter, and it feels weird to me that she has his last name but not mine. Recently his sister referred to me in an email as a mother-of-Joneses, and she was totally being playful, but it made me feel like some kind of vessel for continuing his family line!
Plus it seems a little weird for both kids to have the same middle name (but that's a lesser issue).
I realize some of you may suggest changing my own last name so we all have the same one, and I appreciate that that's what many women do, but it's just not right for me. So I'm really feeling like I want both girls to just have the last name Smith-Jones. It's not the world's biggest change - she'd go from Daughter Smith Jones to Daughter Smith-Jones. My husband and I are planning to talk about it over the next few days.
Oh, and clearly she's still too little to know her last name, so it's not like it will affect her now in any way.
What are people's thoughts? I'm especially interested in hearing either from people whose kid has the Smith-Jones type last name, or from people who've changed their kid's last name since they were born.
Thanks so much!!!

With Malice Toward Dallas, a Radio Serial Pokes Fun at the Ewings
"It was time somebody lampooned Dallas," says Malice's Virginia-based creator, Chris White, 33, who dismisses TV's Ewing saga as "chewing gum for the eyes. I think the acting we do is more outrageous and the scripts ain't too bad either." Well, they're different, anyway. Recently Daddy Garth and a wheeler-dealer companion were blasted into space while inspecting property on Mount St. Helens. "It was the first time," Garth observed later, "that a mountain ever subdivided a real estate agent." Some of the jokes flirt with bad taste ("How many Poles does it take to picket a factory?" "Five—one to wave the sign and four to move the building back and forth"). Others embrace bad taste openly: "It was so nice of W.W. to ask Dean Martin to hold a Richard Pryor roast." Apparently White is embarrassed by none of it. "I could even see our show translated to TV as a sillier kind of Dallas," he deadpans. "Gary Coleman could play the Jock Ewing patriarch."
For White, an Oakland-born deejay turned comedy writer, Malice is the latest step in a 14-year career that has taken him, he says, "to some of the most forgettable radio stations on earth. If I stayed more than six months, they gave me a gold watch." A year ago he began writing commercials for the Studio Center in Norfolk, Va. When the company began thinking of producing a serial, White approached them with Malice. The show now grosses $9,600 a week, though the producers say the threat of protests has kept the nonunion show off the air in prime markets like New York and Los Angeles. White says he isn't getting rich. "When I take my paycheck down to the bank," insists the writer, who says he has a wife and "two drooling little girls" at home, "they still ask how do I want my money—heads or tails?" But cash, he implies, isn't everything—nor are hollow professional honors. "Pulitzer Prize be damned!" he cries. "I just want to sell some material to Mad magazine."

Notes to correspondents
Note to Correspondents on the Secretary-General's meeting with his Special Adviser on Cyprus
New York, 1 November 2013
The Secretary-General was briefed today by his Special Adviser on Cyprus, Mr. Alexander Downer, on efforts undertaken in Cyprus towards a resumption of negotiations since the Secretary-General met with the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders in New York in September.
Recalling that Security Council Resolution 2114 dated 30 July 2013 welcomed the intention to resume negotiations in October 2013, and pointing to the limited window of opportunity to achieve a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus, the Secretary-General expressed concern that a continuing deadlock over a joint communiqué has hampered a return to talks. He expressed the hope that the two leaders would overcome this deadlock during the upcoming visit of his Special Adviser, from 4 to 8 November, and resolve any other outstanding issues so that the date for the first leaders' meeting can be set and full-fledged negotiations can resume without further delay.
The Secretary-General once again expressed his full confidence in his Special Adviser and strong appreciation for the work of the Good Offices mission in Cyprus.

This is a beautiful, shady campground about a mile and a half from I-95. You have to drive almost half a mile down a dirt road to get into the campground, but the road isn't bad. The sites are nice and roomy. We stayed one night in site 7, a long, level pull-through site. We would definitely stay here again. - mrpeepers
May 2016 - $36.00
We have stayed here twice while traveling. It is very convenient and sites are fine. We were in site 7 both times. Many permanent worker trailers but their areas are clean. BA is nice and clean. New cable service throughout is good, don't need a box anymore. Internet is good. It is a pretty long sandy drive and sites are sand. That would be my only concern. Lots of sand. - twotimes

Lazy Acres is set back from Interstate 95 and tucked away in the woods. The grounds are sand and pine trees. Owners live onsite and are very friendly and helpful. We pulled in on Friday evening and throughly enjoyed the walking trails and in general the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. I used the onsite laundry which was very clean with fairly new washers and dryers. Our site was a long pull through, fairly level, full hook up utilities were in good working order. The site had a concrete patio and wooden picnic table. The only thing that tainted our stay at Lazy Acres was the drag racing noise on Saturday night. It was loud all evening and late night. That was most disappointing. We would definitely come back here if it were during the week, not sure we would if it was on a weekend. - the Fishers

This is a no frills campground, but I really like it. Art and his wife Bobbie are super nice and go out of their way to make you welcome. I camp here often when I work at Ft. Bragg several times a year. I love the fact it is downtown. EVERYTHING is with a couple of miles from the campground...Walmart, Kmart, malls, theaters, any place you want to eat. Great location! There are no restrooms/bathhouse/pool. Internet is good close to the office. I think he is trying to upgrade the signal to improve coverage. Passport America friendly!!! - gregwoodmbsc
Feb 2009 - $12.00
This "park" is Art's back yard at the dead end of a street. We got the last site on the day of our visit. Most of the sites appeared to be seasonal, as residences for the occupants. The nearness of an air force base and army base makes this a convenient location. Our stay was an overnight layover and we got the Passport America rate, for which there is no limitation. The location is a few miles off I-95, but we would probably stop for the night again. - Jay Rutherford
May 2008 - $13.00
This is not a campground, but rather 12 RV sites in Art's backyard. There are currently 10 full hookup sites and two W/E sites (which as of this writing 5/08 are getting connected to the sewer). Art's RV sites are very convenient to Ft. Bragg/Pope AFB as well as anything in Fayetteville. Very little street noise from the main drags of Skibo or Cliffdale. Shopping and eateries galore about 1 block away on Skibo. Propane refill is available at Owens Garden Center directly across from intersection of Windemere and Cliffdale. $12.50/night reflects Passport America rate with no restrictions. - PattieAM

This is a small RV Park in a grass field behind an extended stay motel/lodge halfway between Fort Bragg and downtown Fayetteville. The sites are on gravel and level. There is plenty of space between RVs. A few small trees are around. There are no facilities that we know of, but we didn't ask. The open field has no fence around it, or security of any kind, but we never felt unsafe and the neighbors, some of whom had been there for weeks seemed just fine. It's not a destination park but it's near everything if you are in Fayetteville for a few days of visiting. - jwillie44

We stayed two nights and this place seems more run down than our previous stay over a year ago. Our site had trash and garbage on it. We had to clean up before we could park. The speed limit on the dirt roads isn't enforced so there's always dust from all the trucks speeding by. You can't leave your windows open even on a nice day with all the dust blowing in. There are deep ruts on the road and on some sites. There appears to be a few homesteaders as well. It doesn't appear to be managed well. - Flippitti

Manager at front desk is rude. DO NOT come before 3 because they will not check you in even though park is 1/2 empty.

Nothing special about the park but nothing wrong with it either. Did notice that most campgrounds give you information about the area and suggestion about places of interest or places to eat. This campground had no handouts and nothing available about the area in the office. When asked about suggestions nothing really offered. - traveling the use

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Escorted to our site. Wide well spaced sites. Beautiful well cared for grounds. Roads were plenty wide for our 45 ft unit. They have sites that are free of trees and sites that have nice tree cover. Main roads are paved with the interior roads and sites are gravel. If the roads had all been paved, we would have rated this a "10" rather than a "9". Did not use the WiFi, but it came up on our computer with a strong signal We will return. - Field Trip

Tidwell: Dominion Power's Dirty Plans for Virginia
Mike Tidwell, director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, regularly has me on his Earthbeat radio show, so I'm returning the favor with this great letter to the editor he had in the Washington Post yeterday:
Fact: Virginia gets less than 1 percent of its electricity from "green" sources such as the wind or the sun. Fact: Virginia ranks 38th among U.S. states in energy efficiency. Fact: Climate change is real, and fossil fuel substitutes are needed, according to President Bush's State of the Union address last year. So how would Dominion Virginia Power respond to these facts?
- Savagely blow up entire mountains in southwest Virginia.
- Feed the resulting exposed coal to a proposed power plant that is unnecessary and would cost ratepayers at least $1.8 billion.
- Create lots more greenhouse gases in the process.
- Doom the good people of southwest Virginia to living with a brutal extraction industry that has no future.
Whew! Talk about getting everything wrong.
And yet Gov. Tim Kaine supports the plan:
Astonishingly, Gov. Tim Kaine supports Dominion Virginia Power's controversial 585-megawatt coal plant proposed for Wise County. He supports this despite three more facts. First, a senior aide of the governor recently admitted that there's "less than 10 years' worth of commercially viable coal left in Virginia." Second, more than 200 Virginians packed a hearing room this month in Richmond to denounce the proposal being considered by the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Third, Kaine's energy plan includes passages explicitly discouraging the development of "conventional" power (i.e., fossil fuels) until the state has maximized efficiency and clean-energy development.
Virginia has one of the most bloated, inefficient electricity loads in America. Per capita use is roughly twice as high as it is in California and New York. Just phasing out inefficient light bulbs, as Congress has mandated beginning in 2012, would eliminate electricity consumption in Virginia equal to half the entire output of the Wise County plant. And using money-saving "smart grid" systems — a technology that painlessly shuts off air conditioners for brief moments and invisibly manages other electricity use in homes — could save the electricity equivalent of two Wise County plants. So why are we building this facility?
Thankfully, there's still time for Kaine and the legislature to kill this disastrous power plant idea and create, instead, a real and lasting energy prosperity for southwest Virginia and the rest of the state. Beyond efficiency, federal estimates show Virginia could get 12 percent of its electricity from wind farms using just a small area of land. Yet Dominion's wind-power investments equal less than 0.5 percent of its total mid-Atlantic generation capacity. And the best the state government has done on efficiency is offer a four-day tax holiday to Virginians who buy efficient bulbs and appliances.
The Clean Energy Future Act, a bill now before the Virginia General Assembly, would correct these glaring deficiencies. It would follow the lead of dozens of other states in setting robust but realistic statutory targets in clean power, efficiency and "green jobs."
Twenty five percent of the land area in beautiful Wise County, in the heart of Appalachia, has been destroyed by mountaintop removal and other mining in the past four decades. Let's save the mountains still standing and embrace durable, sustainable industries there such as cultural tourism, outdoor recreation and wind farms. Let's simultaneously retrain and support the coal miners who'd rather build solar panels and windmills anyway, if only they had a governor and legislature willing to stand up to Dominion and finally say stop!
Lots of other traditionally conservative states are saying no to new coal. It's time Virginia did, too.
3 Responses to Tidwell: Dominion Power's Dirty Plans for Virginia
Great letter and he didn't even bring up the rising sea level considerations that will affect the Chesapeake region.
This is just hypocritical nonsense. Center for American Progress invests in Virginia coal with Plum Creek Timber, then they turn around and accuse anyone else who benefits from coal as destroyers of the environment.
Any company that builds new coal facilities now should bare the full financial burden of emissions credits ($50-$100 per ton) once the inevitable caps are put in place. Rate payers in these areas should not look to other states to help pay for these costs which will obviously be necessary. If some states wish to stick with denial and willful ignorance, they should realize that only they should be held responsible for their mistakes. Personal responsibility… that's an idea that conservative Virginians should fully support.

My 5 year old daughter is crying every time she is told no. It doesn't matter if it is a little thing or a big thing she is asking for--she cries. We don't give in to her crying.
We have tried several things to change the behavior. We have had her go sit in her room and cry it out, talked to her about making a better choice and thinking "no big deal, maybe I can next time", modeled better behavior, and asking her what she thought her friends would do in her situation. Nothing seems to work. Any Ideas?
My 5 year old daughter is crying every time she is told no. It doesn't matter if it is a little thing or a big thing she is asking for--she cries. We don't give in to her crying.
First of all, to kids that age it's all "big stuff." It makes them sad to not get their way, and crying is how they express their sadness. If I suddenly discovered a way to make my children not want to cry in the first place, I don't think I would use it.
That being said, at best crying forces everyone around you to give excessive attention to you and your feelings, and at worst bullies people into giving in, and so is basically antisocial. What I try to do is validate the feeling, but correct its expression with an explanation. "You're sad because you wanted a cookie, but it's not nice to make everyone listen to you cry. If you want to cry, please go to your room." Sometimes they choose to stop crying, and sometimes they choose to go to their room.
Of course, that's easier said than done when they do it all the time. In reality, I'm nice about it the first time or two every day, then get progressively terser as I get progressively more annoyed, but the nice way tends to work the best.
I just want to share a slightly different perspective on this one. I totally agree with Karl that its "all big stuff" and that handling things "the nice way" is usually going to work best for you.
However, I want to offer a perspective I don't already see here: For any social human (which is really all of us) a big part of our psychological validation is just feeling understood - it is actually a need once the physical needs like food and shelter are met. It is why children that don't get touched fail to thrive and why humans constantly search for love and validation. A cold hard no, that doesn't acknowledge in any way the wish of the child is likely to leave a kid feeling that their wishes don't matter or not understood.
Please don't take this to mean I think you shouldn't say "no" far from it!
What I am saying is that it is important to find a way of letting your child know you understand and empathize while you say "no" - at least some of the time. I suggest the following steps be taken while using an even, loving, but not patronizing voice. A voice that expresses empathy but remains very down to business and isn't concerned over prevention or stoppage of crying:
I also understand there will be times when a win-win solution is not possible. However, there is often a workable, "winning solution" anyway
(I know the vocab I'm using here may be a little high-brow for a five year old. Obviously, put it into your own words)
Or, for those times when a win-win or winning alternative are not available of course you can pull the parent card - but this is something that should only be needed in increasingly rarer and rarer circumstances.
Since your daughter is five, You can even begin to enlist her in helping figure out the win-win solution which will help her learn a certain amount of independence and gain some problem solving skills and practice as she searches for a workable answer that takes your wants/needs/wishes/objectives into account as well as her own (don't expect miracles here, modeling and guidance is needed at first, but you are setting yourself up for a much more agreeable time with her when she is a teen if you start training her in this art now - of course, even then I wouldn't expect miracles). The way you put this to your daughter might sound something like:
You may find that she still cries (especially at first), but in my experience, if you stick with it long enough, the crying will abate and be replaced with attempts at finding win-win solutions with you most of the time
You haven't hurt anything by prepping your child with an acknowledgement and a request for a win-win instead of a flat out "no." Respond with the same emotionally neutral but loving tone you've already been using.
Sometimes, If I think there is a chance I am missing something in regard to what is upsetting the child, I might add at the end of that,
That last one can be dangerous to use because it can result in a heightening of the crying/emotive outburst so use it with caution. However, I do find it helpful in those situations where I really am having trouble figuring out what it is that is wanted or wrong.
For kids that just can't get a hold of themselves:
In regard to the "your child shouldn't get anything for this behavior" sentiment, I agree - If, it truly is a matter of a child honestly and with intention attempting to manipulate you.
If, after your efforts toward understanding, your child simply won't budge (and consistently) - then yes, your child is behaving stubbornly and should be dealt with accordingly. At this point, on the occasions when a child has cried and then come back at me with the exact same request and is crying, begging, pleading, or throwing a tantrum about it, that is when I simply say.
and then the child does not get what he or she wanted or any sort of compromised "half way", and gets some time alone in whatever place is most appropriate for the age (Room, time-out spot, etc etc).
The "Sales Pitch" (so to speak) If you think about it, this is much more true-to-life way to handle agreements/disagreements anyway. When an adult makes a request that keeps both party's goals in mind, that adult is a lot more likely to make the sale, get the bargain, figure out the compromise, maintain healthy, happy friendships/relationships, etc. than someone that just throws their weight around trying to get what they want no matter the expense to everyone else. It solves a problem for you and teaches your kid an important life skill through modeling and practice.
I recommend two great books you may find helpful and from whence much of this answer is inspired:
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families (and its child oriented compliment The Seven Habits of Happy Kids as well as the Seven Habits Blog)
How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk
Know that you are far from alone in the battle, we are all cheering you on, and that in the end, you have your child's health and well-being at heart - eventually, your child will come to a place in life where she will come to understand that - even if it is 30-40 years from now :-)
I was visiting my daughter when my grandson was 4 or 5. She was not into discipline too much. While there, she and her husband wanted to go out for the night and my daughter's parting words were "Mom, if you can get Billy to take a bath, that'd be great." My immediate thought was, "Hmmmm I outweigh him by at least 70 lbs. I'll bet I can 'get' him to take a bath.". Step one "Billy, time for a bath." "NOOOOOO" Step two "I wasn't asking dear, it's time for a bath." "NOOOOOOOOOO!" So, my husband brought him like a football under his arm, kicking and screaming. He was deposited between me and the door. As I was undressing him, he was yelling for all he was worth. I got him in the tub and said (but he couldn't hear), "You know what? Grandma LOVES the screaming game!" I took a lungfull of air and let loose. My grandson stopped, looked at me and said "Grandma STOP!" I said "But, I thought we were playing the screaming game." He said, "No, I don't want to play anymore." My humble advice, cry with her.
This is one of the hardest things to get right. I find myself saying "no" and not really meaning it. This type of "no" conveys "not right now, but maybe if you keep carrying on about it, it'll be yes." Most of the time these types of "no's" function well. The child knows when to carry on and when not to under normal circumstances.
But every once in awhile, they don't quite get the message and a more forceful response is needed. This is when a "no" takes on the meaning "No, absolutely not. I don't care how hard you cry or what you think on the subject, The answer is no." I do this in a way that is abundantly clear and unmistakable to understand. I look them in the eye, I say "no" in a deeper tone of voice, all while signing the word "no" (in American sign language). I metaphorically draw the line clearly in the sand which they know they cannot cross.
Once doing this, the hardest part is being consistent. I try not to give an absolute "no" unless I have no other option, as I know I will have to enforce it 100% of the time or it will lose its power (or at least enforce it 98% of the time). If the child whines and carries on about the issue, I give them the option of crying in their room. If they continue crying, I then take them to their room.
Testing behavioral boundaries and limits is a normal part of life. When boundaries are clearly expressed to children, they will be much more likely to stay within them (and, of course, test them).
I would also check on the other children she hangs around. One of the children in our daughter's class had a few bad habits my daughter picked up. Once we found the source, we were able to treat the problem.
If she continues to cry every time she's told 'No,' despite apparently not getting what she wants, then I'd argue that there's some value in it for her and she IS getting at least some of what she wants out of it. Examine your behavior when she starts to cry: are you cuddling her? Cajoling her? Giving in in other ways? It could be that you do none of that, but she can tell that you're getting flustered or frustrated, and she keeps doing it to demonstrate to herself that she has the power to upset you by crying. (It certainly affects my husband that way!)
When one of ours tries tears to get what he/she wants, we remind them of our saying about these things: "You get what you get, and you don't get upset." (Or, "you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit.") Kind of silly to have a mantra for tantrums, but it works.
Tl;dr: find out what she's gaining by crying and then adjust your strategy accordingly.
As others have said, it's important to make sure she is getting absolutely nothing from you ( a reaction, attention, whatever). Carefully guard yourself. You must very matter-of-factly ignore it. Speak to her exactly as you would if she weren't crying.
When the behavior finally begins to extinguish itself (she handles a "no" appropriately) make sure you let her know you noticed. You could say something like "hey, I know that you are disappointed, but you're doing a great job being a big girl. I'm very proud of you." Kids at this age want to please you, and want you to be proud of them.
There may be some value in letting her cry it out in front of you, while you continue going by with your routine. Sending her to her room to cry it out may be sending her a message of "you're being punished for the crying" but not that "crying won't get you what you want" because eventually you will have to go to her room anyway to do something.
If she gets upset with you, you should probably let her be upset because it will force her to learn to deal with your "NO" in a different way, negotiating, pleading, and so on.
While we would like to believe that we can talk our way out of the situation that our kids show amazing self control at that age they really don't care yet about what we have to say.
Oy, tough one. I can tell it's a real tightwire; it sounds like you would just rather give in if for no other reason than to get some respite but you know that's counterproductive.
Here's what I like to: "Honey, if you eat that cookie right now, it will taste good and your tummy will feel happy. BUT!! Then the sugar will get all over your teeth and you'll have to brush them extra-carefully right after you eat the cookie. Since you have to brush your teeth anyway before bedtime, wouldn't that be a better time to have one?" This acknowledges her yen for the cookie, points out an immediate consequence (she'll have to brush her teeth right afterward), and suggests an alternative (have the cookie before bedtime teethbrushing). Typically an impatient child wants it NOW so remind her she will have to immediately brush her teeth. This just might make a cookie less appealing.
If the tot is simply overwrought and beyond reason, walk her into her bedroom, say "count to _______ (whatever highest number she knows) and say hello to ______ (favourite stuffed toy) for me." Then walk out and, provided nothing is actually wrong with her, IGNORE for 10 minutes.
It's very hard to stay unemotional about this ongoing power struggle, but that's why it IS one! She needs to see you're not pliable.
Offering this reason why it's better to wait for a later cookie may seem clumsy and time-consuming, but it sidesteps the usual conflict about her getting her own way. Having a goofy tone sometimes helps as well.
I'm not a mother, but I do babysit and have been looking after kids for a long time. I know I'm just a teen but what I've found that works with most kids I watch, is that if they start crying over something just ignore them. don't give them attention for it because that's what they are trying to get. It doesn't work immediately, but I've found that for the kids I watch their behavior and attitude improves over time, sometimes just a matter of weeks.
They start listening more and they accept no easily. Just make sure to give them lots of attention when they do accept no without a fuss.
I have a boy who is similar, he's four. I've learned to modify my language so I don't even say no just in case it has such a strong and lengthy reaction from him that it disrupts everything. He does it when he is overly tired, ill, run down, hungry (the mornings can be terrible) or constipated (which he can be a bit prone to be and sneaks up on us). It can go on for days and is stressful and arresting for us all. But the causes are mainly somatic, he can be incredibly difficult because he's physically sensitive to his internal state.
When he's feeling good, life is rosy. I think what I'm saying is, yes it can behavioural but also consider physical causes. It's easy to feel children are just being difficult just to be difficult or they don't understand why you're saying no. Possibly they are feeling out of sorts.
This made me laugh as my daughter has ALWAYS been like this... I think you have had enough "in depth " answers on this so I shall just tell you what I found works for me... If I'm saying a 100% no...... For example she asked to cross a busy rd alone.. I will answer with "no way Lauren " putting emphasis on the way part seemed to help and she just accepts it!?

Post Prada, A Design Star Slims Down
By FRED A. BERNSTEIN
Published: April 24, 2003
''MANHATTAN has consistently inspired in its beholders ecstasy about architecture,'' Rem Koolhaas, the Rotterdam-based architect, wrote in his 1978 book ''Delirious New York.'' Mr. Koolhaas hoped to ratchet up the ecstasy with a dramatic addition to the Whitney Museum's Madison Avenue building and a downtown hotel for Ian Schrager. But both projects have fizzled and now the love affair between Mr. Koolhaas and the city appears to be on the rocks.
Last week, after the Whitney Museum of American Art canceled plans for the addition, which experts said would have cost at least $200 million, Mr. Koolhaas grumbled in a telephone interview that the Whitney's benefactors were more interested in building the endowment than his architecture.
Economic problems combined with bad timing and perhaps a bit of hubris have brought the cancellation of several long-awaited projects by Mr. Koolhaas, who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2000.
Last December, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced that it was indefinitely postponing a new complex, designed by Mr. Koolhaas, because it could not raise enough of the estimated $300 million cost. Also on the ropes is a 12-story Prada store in San Francisco, which would have been the most ambitious of three ''epicenters'' commissioned by Miuccia Prada. (The SoHo store opened in 2001, and another in Beverly Hills is under construction.)
While Daniel Libeskind, who won the World Trade Center commission, is busy opening an office in New York, Mr. Koolhaas, who says he opted not to participate in the final competition for the World Trade Center site, is reducing his New York office to a dozen employees. In a recent speech to architecture students at Columbia University, he said he ''admitted defeat in New York.''
''Though the firm is in good shape globally, '' a partner in his firm, Dan Wood, said, ''its focus has moved away from the U.S.'' Mr. Wood added that he would be leaving the firm, amicably, because of the lack of American projects.
Mr. Koolhaas is one of many architects who have seen large commissions evaporate or shrink with the economic downturn. ''There are layoffs at nearly every firm, small, large, famous, not famous,'' said Reed Kroloff, the former editor of Architecture Magazine, and a consultant to architecture competitions.
Frank Gehry, who like Mr. Koolhaas is a Pritzker Prize winner and whose Guggenheim museum planned for Lower Manhattan was canceled, said that potential clients ''have pulled in their horns a little bit.''
''There aren't as many inquiries,'' Mr. Gehry said. ''The mood is different.''
Richard Meier, also a Pritzker winner, said, ''The phone may not be ringing as often.''
In New York, post-9/11 budget cuts by the city have forced the cancellation of an addition to the Mid-Manhattan Branch of the New York Public Library at 40th Street designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates. And Mr. Libeskind's planned $55 million Jewish Museum San Francisco has been scaled back for budgetary reasons.
A tough economy may be forcing a more conservative turn in architecture, and Mr. Koolhaas is no traditionalist. His firm, he said in an interview, ''is better at reinventing than reasserting.'' By that he means he is turning his attention to building a $650 million television broadcast center in Beijing, opening for the 2008 Olympics. The World Trade Center competition, he said in the speech at Columbia in February, was all about looking backward, while the Chinese government was looking forward.
Robert Ivy, editor in chief of Architectural Record, said: ''In China, people are basically saying, you can wave your hand and make this happen. You can understand Rem's enthusiasm for that kind of client.''
Mr. Ivy added, ''It's not surprising he might have sour grapes, given how many projects have evaporated.''
But few architects are inclined, as Mr. Koolhaas is, to see a morality tale in the economic downturn. In his Columbia speech, Mr. Koolhaas recounted his attempts to satisfy Mr. Schrager, the developer of a planned hotel on Astor Place, which ended with him being ''fired.'' Ultimately, Mr. Koolhaas said, ''It became very clear that America in its current mood would resist a certain kind of challenge as systematically as Ian Schrager.'' Mr. Schrager, responding through a publicist, said he would let his buildings speak for themselves.
Mr. Koolhaas's office has three projects under construction in this country: the Prada store on Rodeo Drive, a student center at the Illinois Institute of Technology and the Seattle Public Library. As recently as December, Mr. Koolhaas was optimistic enough to predict that the Whitney project would move forward, and that the cancellation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art ''would galvanize'' donors to come through with the funds needed for his plan.
Neither has happened. And that may be due in part to the ambition of Mr. Koolhaas's work. ''People come to Rem for dramatic solutions to their problems,'' Mr. Kroloff said. ''And those solutions tend to be terribly expensive.''
