coach Skylor Magee both resigned from the Nicholls State football team to take positions at other universities, the school announced Thursday.
Both of them are extremely hard working and talented individuals that
received offers they couldnt turn down. Each of them are first class,
and have great careers ahead of them, Nicholls coach Jay Thomas said.
Eargle leaves Nicholls for LSU where he will be an assistant to the
offensive line coach, and Magee will become the co-defensive coordinator
at North Greenville University.

Hurricane Season
Offshore Installations: BSEE to Host Hurricane Preparations Forum
The Bureau of Safety & Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) will host a public forum on offshore energy infrastructure hurricane preparedness and response on Thursday, June 27, 2013, as part of its efforts to improve the safety of offshore oil and gas operations. "In our continuing efforts to be fully prepared for hurricane season, we are bringing together representatives from the government, oil and gas industry and environmental community to discuss our actions to protect offshore energy infrastructure and the environment during a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico," said BSEE Director James Watson. "We will have an important discussion about what we are all doing to prepare for and respond to such storms to ensure minimal impact to the supply of energy from offshore areas." In the aftermath of the 2005 hurricane season, platforms toppled and pipelines were ripped from the seafloor. The severe damage to offshore infrastructure and refineries along the coast ultimately halted offshore oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico for a prolonged period of time. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is now predicting an active 2013 hurricane season and the BSEE Offshore Energy Hurricane Preparedness and Response Forum will examine how the government, oil and gas industry and environmental community will work to minimize the impact to offshore infrastructure and the environment.
T/S Henri Forms in the Atlantic
Tropical Storm Henri, the eighth named storm of the 2015 Atlantic Hurricane Season, has formed in the Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Wednesday. The storm was located about 250 miles (405 km) east-southeast of Bermuda, with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour (65 kph), the Miami-based weather forecaster said. Henri is moving toward the north at nearly 5 miles per hour (7 kph). "Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse To Move Soon
Crews on Tuesday were making final preparations to move the historic Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the nation's tallest brick lighthouse, from its perch on an eroding beach along North Carolina's Outer Banks.

The Texas Office of Oil Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) released the Spring 2006 edition of its Facility and Maritime Affairs (FAMA) newsletter.

A civil penalty of not less than $100 per day of violation may be assessed for failure to register.
Caribbean Storm Likely to Strengthen, Veers Away from US
A low-pressure system moved over Puerto Rico on Friday and is expected to veer northeast away from the U.S. East Coast but still has an 80 percent chance of forming into a tropical storm in the next five days, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said. "There's a good chance that this system could develop into a (tropical) depression within the next 48 hours," said David Roberts, a Navy hurricane specialist with the NHC.
US Forecaster sees El Nino Likely into N. Hemisphere Spring
A U.S. government weather forecaster on Thursday warned that much-watched El Nino conditions are likely to last another nine months, potentially roiling global crops and commodities prices.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita largely spared the road, Louisiana Highway 1, because neither struck Fourchon directly. According to Bloomberg, officials are worried that the upcoming hurricane season, beginning June 1, might play out differently
USGS iCoast – Did the Coast Change?
Hurricane season starts again this June. Do you know what happens to our coasts after these extreme storms? The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has launched a new crowdsourcing application called "iCoast – Did the Coast Change?" to show you these coastal changes from extreme storms. iCoast allows citizen scientists to identify changes to the coast by comparing aerial photographs taken before and after storms.
Tropical Storm Erika Heads for Florida
Tropical Storm Erika lashed Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with heavy rain and fierce winds on Friday, moving across the Caribbean and apparently heading for the Dominican Republic, northern Haiti and eventually South Florida, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Due to some likely weakening over the Dominican Republic, Erika was no longer forecast to make U.S. landfall as a hurricane. It could still smack the Miami area with sustained winds of 60 miles per hour (97 kph) on

Metastatic colorectal cancer occurs when cancer cells travel from the large intestine, through either the bloodstream or the lymph system, to other parts of the body and continue to grow in their new location. Recurrent colorectal cancer is cancer that has come back after treatment.
Metastatic colorectal cancer can be present at the initial diagnosis or may occur months to years after treatment for colorectal cancer. Metastasis can affect areas near the colon, such as lymph nodes, or organs in other parts of the body, such as the liver or lungs.
Treatment of metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer depends on how far the cancer has spread, the symptoms, and the area of the body that is involved. It may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Hey Doctor, Can I Get a Laugh?
So yesterday I went to get a physical and have a few of my shots updated, as required by my grad school. Now, like everyone else, I am not a huge fan of going to the doctors, you know that you are going to find out something you don't want to. However, I was buoyed by the fact that my balls would get rolled in a check for testicular cancer, which always has potential.
I decided though to make fun of a bad situation and have some fun with the doctor, you know show some personality, lighten the situation. But what I found was a wall of non laughter, which made me want to get a laugh out of them that much more. In fact it got the point where I got to be so hacky that it was depressing. Here is a sample of the hits and misses from yesterday:
Doctor: Do you smoke?
Me: (in a very serious voice) Just crack.
Doctor: Well that leads me into my next question about any drug habits you may have.
Reaction: What? Not even a snicker, the timing was perfect. I had to explain that I didn't do crack after that because I didn't want them to think I was Pookie from New Jack City.
Doctor: Is there any history of mental illness in your family?
Me: Well my parents are divorced I am sure they each have a very different answer.
Doctor: No… I mean diagnosed.
Reaction: Ok it was lame… I wish I could have gotten a mulligan for that one.
Doctor: The only two things I would have you do is get a blood check done to check your cholesterol and I would also recommend to get a STD test, being a young sexually active male. That test is done with blood and with urine…
Me: When my friend had that done they put a giant q-tip in the tip of his…
Doctor: With current technology we don't need to probe.
Me: Phew, because that is really a hole that is exit only.
Doctor: So, should I order the tests?
Reaction: I'm standing by that one, that was funny.
All told I dropped four or five jokes with none of them getting a laugh. But the worst part about it was, no ball check, I must leave that to privacy of my own shower.
It was truly a sad day.
What are some of your uncomfortable Doctor appointments?

I understand that the latest version allows %LASTURL% to be added into Global Logout Redirect. But is it possible to add %LASTURL% into Global Login Redirect too?
Please advise. Thank you in advance.
I think that's possible already, give it a try?
Tried it. But sadly after logging in, the user is automatically directly to 'wp-admin'.
Not sure what is causing this to happen. Any ideas?
works for me. maybe another plugin conflict?
I've checked all my activated plugins, and none seem to interfere with your plugin. I'm using WP 3.1, and I want Subscribers to be redirected to their last visited Page/Post. However, they aren't logging in via your Widget, but through the WP-Login.php page. I'm guessing that:
1. The WP core could be overriding your plugin's login redirection, or
2. The %LASTURL% has to be redirected 2 pages back rather than 1 (meaning that it's to back pass the "WP-Login.php" page first, and then the last visited page).
Could the latter be the case?
the plugin redirects to the same page the user logged into (i guess you can call it refresh). this overrides the wp default redirect, which is not a refresh.
If people log in through the normal login with that redirect, it'll refresh the login but then wp will redirect you to the dashboard.
Looks like I guessed right about the latter case. If that's the case, where can I modify the %LASTURL% redirection to back the URL twice, instead of once?
LoginWithAjax::getLogoutRedirect(), modify the str_replace
Cheers, mate =)
Hi Marcus,
I just realised that it isn't the 'getLogoutRedirect()' function, but rather the 'getLoginRedirect()'. I don't have any problems with the former function though.
In login-with-ajax/login-with-ajax.php, I found the 'getLoginRedirect()' function:
function getLoginRedirect($user){
$data = $this->data;
if($data['login_redirect'] != ''){
$redirect = $data["login_redirect"];
if( strtolower(get_class($user)) == "wp_user" ){
$user_role = array_shift($user->roles); //Checking for role-based redirects
if( isset($data["role_login"][$user_role]) ){
$redirect = $data["role_login"][$user_role];
//Do string replacements
$redirect = str_replace('%USERNAME%', $user->user_login, $redirect);
$redirect = str_replace("%LASTURL%", $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $redirect);
return $redirect;
How do I amend the 'str_replace', so that it goes back twice to the last visited page? Please advise. Thank you.

Stayed here for 3 nights from the 8/11 and was thoroughly impressed. The hotel definitely had the wow factor i was hoping for as it was a surprise romantic break. The hotel was clean, the staff were helpful and the room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. breakfast had plenty of variety and the restaurant area had a very fresh feel to it. The location suited us, short tram rides into the hustle and bustle but just far enough out for cheap food and drink. Would recommend nearby jazz restaurant cafe lado for a nice, sophisticated evening or the nearby 'ruin pub' or even the adjacent pub for a more urban night out. The views from the citadel beat castle hill and the walk is easily manageable. The castle and labyrinth are well worth a visit though. In essence, a lovely modern hotel to contrast from the historic charm of the city.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The place where history meets present! Stay in a historical palace that was originally constructed in the 19th century and served as the residence of a Hungarian noble, Count Nandor Zichy. Located in downtown Budapest in the historical Palace quarter. Our guests will enjoy a state-of-the-art guestroom with a flat panel television, and complimentary high-speed Internet. The 80-room hotel features many free services: lounge with free water and coffee, Internet-access, business corner with 6 workstations and fitness center. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Expedia, Booking.com, TripOnline SA, Hotwire, Cancelon, Priceline, Agoda, Odigeo and Jetsetter so you can book your Hotel Palazzo Zichy reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Unplug the headlight swich and look closely at the connector that it plugs into. I have seen some of these melt from high resistance in the circuit. Do you have aftermarket high amperage headlight bulbs? We sometime see this overload the circuits.
yes i did change the headlights to a one piece set and i added the new wire that came with the sets.

Japanese Tanker Damaged in Bomb Attack Leaves U.A.E.
The Japanese oil tanker damaged in a bomb attack July 28 in the Strait of Hormuz has left a port in the United Arab Emirates after repairs, state-run Emirates News Agency reported, citing an unidentified Coast Guard source.
The M. Star, which had docked about 14 miles (22 kilometers) offshore in the anchorage area at the Port of Fujairah, was the target of a terrorist attack, the news agency, known as WAM, said today.
Explosives experts found a dent above the waterline of the ship and traces of home-made explosives on the hull, WAM cited the source as saying. The tanker may have been attacked by a boat loaded with munitions, according to the report.
The ship's owner Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. is investigating the cause of the explosion in the Strait, a chokepoint for oil shipments out of the Persian Gulf. The company hasn't had any confirmation on the cause of the damage from the U.A.E., a Mitsui spokeswoman said by telephone from Tokyo, declining to say whether the ship had left port.
U.S. Navy divers assisting in the investigation examined the ship's hull to ascertain the cause of damage, Lt. John Fage, a spokesman for the Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain, said yesterday. U.S. military experts would continue to work with U.A.E. officials in the investigation, he said today.
The Brigades of Abdullah Azzam, a militant jihadist group, said Aug. 4 that one of its members carried out a suicide bomb attack on the tanker, according to Site Intelligence Group, a Maryland-based monitor of terrorism-related activities.

Edited by Richard Schäfer and Selim Kuci
"Stem cells have enormous potential for alleviating suffering for many diseases which currently have no effective therapy. The field has progressed to the clinic and it is important that this pathway is underpinned by excellent science and rigorous standards of clinical research. The journal provides an important avenue of publication in translational aspects of stem cell therapy spanning preclinical studies, clinical research and commercialization."
Timothy O'Brien, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Research & Therapy
"The study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biomedical research. We believe that Stem Cell Research & Therapy will act as a highly active forum for both basic and translational research into stem cell biology and therapies. Specifically, by developing this forum for cutting edge research, we hope that Stem Cell Research & Therapy will play a significant role in bringing together the critical information to synergize stem cell science with stem cell therapies."

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Despite her desire to keep it on the down-low, Zoe Saldana's love life continues to make headlines.
The Star Trek Into Darkness star, who made a provocative comment about bisexuality to Allure last week, was spotted canoodling with a mystery man at the film's New York premiere party. Page Six reports that the Johnny Depp-lookalike is Italian artist Marco Perego.
An onlooker told the gossip rag, "they looked very close and were later seen kissing." Another source, however, claims "Zoe and Marco have known each other for a while as friends. It's too early to say they are dating."
Saldana remains famously tight-lipped, if not downright defensive, about her privacy when it comes to her love life. "I encourage every human being to spend one hour a day without categorizing and stereotyping anything, or using any titles," she told BET.com in our exclusive video, before adding, "up until now, I've known my life to be with men...but if one day I wake up and I want to be with a woman, I'm going to do that."
Guess that day hasn't yet come.

After many years of waiting, fans of Raymond E. Feist have been rewarded with Talon of the Silver Hawk, the brilliant first book in the Conclave of Shadows series from the author who penned classic fantasy series like the Riftwar, Riftwar Legacy, and Serpentwar sagas.
Talon is a teenage boy who has barely survived the slaughter of his people. When Robert de Lyis finds the bloodied boy and nurses him back to health, Talon vows to not only pay back Robert for saving his life but also to find out who murdered his entire village, hunt them down, and kill them. What Talon doesn't realize is that Robert is a member of a secret group called the Conclave of Shadows, headed by the infamous sorcerer Pug, whose mission is to battle the forces of evil that seek to spread chaos throughout Midkemia.
The legions of Feist fanatics out there are sure to devour this offering. The realm of Midkemia is arguably the most richly detailed and fully realized world in all of fantasy literature, comparable only to J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth and Robert Silverberg's Majipoor. And even though the setting will be familiar to Feist's fans, most of the characters and locations are new, and the plotline is definitely unlike anything the author has ever done before. Talon of the Silver Hawk is classic Feist. The conclusion of this novel will leave you begging for the next book in the series. Paul Goat Allen

Energy and Global Warming News for February 24: Kerry insists US to move on climate; the weapons industry is going green?
Kerry insists US to move on climate
Senator John Kerry vowed the United States would overcome the odds and approve action on climate change, as the United Nations set talks for April to help break a diplomatic logjam.
Without offering a timetable, Kerry on Tuesday rejected assertions that it had become politically impossible for the Senate to finalize the first US nationwide plan to curb carbon emissions blamed for global warming.
"I'm excited. I know that's completely contrary to any conventional wisdom," said Kerry, a close ally of President Barack Obama and chief architect of the legislation.
Kerry said he was working on a Senate compromise that could recraft a landmark climate bill that squeaked last year through the House of Representatives.
"I don't care how we do it. I just think we have to price carbon because we have to send that signal to the marketplace," the Massachusetts Democrat added.
"We're on a short track here in terms of piecing together legislation," he told a forum sponsored by The New Republic magazine. "We're moving rapidly."
Democratic Representative Ed Markey, an author of the House bill, said a US decision to cut back on fossil fuels would boost international negotiations.
"We cannot preach temperance from a bar stool," he said.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which is overseeing the effort to draft a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol, meanwhile scheduled an April 9-11 meeting in Bonn among senior officials.
The weapons industry is going green
On February 1st Pentagon officials testified before Congress about the threats that climate change poses to national security and geopolitical stability. The report that was presented climate change in regions such as Darfur as the primary cause for mass migrations, resource turf wars and even genocide.
With the about-face of the military wing of the U.S. government on climate change, it may not come as a surprise that the two of the largest military equipment manufacturers — Lockheed Martin & Raytheon — are both going green.
Last week at the Carbon War Room in Vanocouver James Kohlhaas of Lockheed Martin spoke on the company's remarkable contributions to the energy management space. Lockheed Martin is now one of the largest implementers of energy efficiency programs in the U.S. serving a number of state agencies and utilities including including Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Pepco Holdings, AmerenUE, Silicon Valley Power, Cascade Natural Gas, the Energy Trust of Oregon, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
According to Lockheed's recent press release, the company's energy management programs have saved 400,000 Mwh's of electricity and 4 million therms of natural gas in 2009, enough to power 40,000 homes (the CO2 equivalent of 55,000 cars).
Kohlhaas announced last week that the company will be taking its sophisticated energy management systems into the private sector, offering manufacturers a way to track and manage the energy efficiency of their supply chains and ultimately, the ability to attach a "carbon nutrition label" at the product level, so a consumer can chose between products based on their embodied energy and CO2 emissions.
Waste-to-Ethanol Venture Attracts Investors
In a deal announced today, Enerkem Inc., a Quebec waste-to-ethanol processor, has raised $51.5 million from a syndicate of investors that includes the landfill and garbage-hauling giant Waste Management of Houston.
This is the second substantial cash infusion for the company, which secured a $50 million Department of Energy clean-tech grant in December.
Enerkem has developed a gasification process that transforms post-recycled municipal solid waste into a synthesis gas that is then cleaned and refined into ethanol, methanol and acetate. The company has a 25-year deal with the city of Edmonton under which Enerkem will reprocess 100,000 tons of shredded trash annually at a plant to be built next year.
An identical bio-refinery is being constructed in Pontotoc, Miss., for the Three Rivers Solid Waste Authority. It will process 300 tons of waste each day and produce 10 million gallons of ethanol a year.
Both sites serve regions that are running out of landfill capacity and are situated near refinery hubs (Fort Saskatchewan, outside Edmonton, and the Gulf Coast, respectively).
In Edmonton, the city pays Enerkem to take away the trash, and the company also has the retained the right to sell the ethanol to local refineries so it can be blended with gasoline.
The other venture capital firms with a stake in the investment announced today were assembled by Morgan Stanley and include Rho Ventures, Braemar Energy Ventures, BDR Capital and Cycle Capital.
But the interest from Waste Management, which operates landfills in both regions, is a sign that large garbage-hauling firms are actively looking to tap the opportunities created by biofuel technologies, said Enerkem's chief executive, Vincent Chornet. "The biofuel players of tomorrow won't be conventional petrochemical players," he said.
Tim Cesarek, Waste Management's managing director for organic growth, said the deal complements the firm's recycling and waste-to-energy activities. The company wants to double its renewable energy production by 2020.
Mr. Chornet said other second-generation ethanol firms have reprocessed fiber-based waste into ethanol, but no others use mixed industrial or consumer waste that can't be sold to recycling companies.
Industry urges lawmakers to look beyond batteries to other technologies
Automakers and electric vehicle advocates yesterday urged Senate appropriators to broaden their current focus on advanced batteries that fuel plug-in cars and trucks to include electric motors, charging infrastructure and even hydrogen fuel cells.
Industry officials told the Senate Energy and Water Subcommittee that while the battery is currently the highest financial hurdle for the mass adoption of plug-in vehicles, ultimately advances also will be needed for other components.
"Breakthroughs are required on all of these components," said Alan Taub, General Motors Co.'s vice president of research and development.
President Obama has vowed to put 1 million plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015, and lawmakers have offered billions in federal cash to help automakers make that happen.
Last year's stimulus package provided $2.4 billion for the development of plug-in vehicles and advanced batteries. The government is also offering tax credits up to $7,500 for the purchase of plug-in cars and trucks in hopes of spurring more early adopters to gamble on the nascent technology. Those investments are on top of a $25 billion DOE loan program that was created by the 2007 energy law to help the industry retool domestic factories to produce more fuel-efficient cars and trucks.
Both Republicans and Democrats have hyped plug-ins as the future of the U.S. auto industry and, to date, much of the focus has been on ensuring that the United States captures the nascent advanced battery market.
Despite the massive investment, many in the industry are lobbying lawmakers to provide additional federal cash, and the length of the industry wish list was on full display during yesterday's hearing.
Three members of the Electrification Coalition — FedEx Corp. President and CEO Fred Smith, Coulomb Technologies Inc. CEO Richard Lowenthal, and Johnson Controls Inc. Vice President Mary Ann Wright — comprised half of the six-person panel.
The group has an ambitious plan to put 120 million plug-in vehicles on U.S roads by 2030, but to achieve that goal it is pushing for $120 billion over the next eight years.
The federal cash would be used to provide tax credits for the installation of advanced automotive batteries in stationary applications — seen as a way to drive scale and bring down cost — and for both public charging stations and home charging equipment. A portion of the cash would also be used to provide loan guarantees to help retool auto plants to produce plug-in vehicles, similar to the existing DOE loan program.
The initial investment would be targeted at a handful of cities, or "electrification ecosystems," designed to show the viability of both the plug-in cars and the electric grid they would interact with. The first phase would last four years and invest in six to eight cities that would essentially serve as large-scale demonstration programs. The second phase would then extend to an additional 20 to 25 cities.
"If we can spend approximately $15 billion a year for eight years in order to eventually end an [oil] addiction that would otherwise cost us upward of $600 billion a year in perpetuity, does it not make wise budgetary sense to do so?" Smith said.
Lowenthal asked lawmakers to rework current electric-vehicle infrastructure tax credits so city and county officials can take advantage of them. Currently, the credits provide income tax breaks, but local governments do not pay income tax, so they have less of an incentive to become early adopters, he said.
Proposed DOE funding increases mark admin's goal to lead clean-tech sector — CRS official
The White House fiscal 2011 budget request for renewable energy programs is tailored to boost U.S. competitiveness in clean energy development, an energy policy specialist at the Congressional Research Service said yesterday.
The $2.4 billion request for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is a modest 5 percent increase over fiscal 2010 appropriated levels, but specific changes within the budget request could represent a targeted focus on boosting U.S. competitiveness in the clean energy sector, CRS's Fred Sissine said yesterday at a briefing on Capitol Hill.
"From an outside perspective … in terms of the overall emphasis, it seems to me the emphasis is on climate change issues and international competitiveness in clean energy development," Sissine said. "There's a very clear statement about China and Germany and others that are making serious investments in clean energy areas and our need to develop clean energy facilities."
Fostering growth in the renewable energy sector has long been a goal of the Obama administration and was also emphasized in the administration's fiscal 2010 funding request and the stimulus bill.
For the current spending request, the Energy Department came out an overall winner despite the president's proposed discretionary spending freeze. The total $28.3 billion request for DOE would be an increase of 6.8 percent over fiscal 2010 levels with strong funding across the board for renewables.
But key increases within the EERE budget request mark a concerted effort by the administration to boost the nation's position in the global clean energy playing field, Sissine said.
"I think one of the most interesting quotes from the administration is, 'The nation that leads the clean energy economy will lead the global economy,'" Sissine said, quoting Obama's State of the Union speech. "And that seems to be the overall thrust for the request."
Specifically, he noted that the proposed funding for offshore wind and concentrating solar power demonstration projects are the first White House spending requests for those projects since the early 1980s.
Those requests — $49 million for an offshore wind demonstration project and $48.5 million for a concentrating solar power demonstration project — come as European nations are already scaling up such projects, he said.
"The Germans have already put up offshore wind plants," Sissine said. "So that's the context."
And Cathy Zoi, assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy, essentially backed Sissine's theory.
"We do the work with energy technologies, but we want to have the change that the economy demands, that national security demands, and that climate price demands," Zoi said.
Overall spending for wind and solar programs would see a significant boost under the White House proposal — 53 percent for wind and 22 percent for solar — largely because the department wants to quicken the pace of scaling up the technology, Zoi said.
"We want to compress the time from when a technology is developed on the lab bench to when it gets deployed at scale," Zoi said. "What we need the energy sector to do now is move as quickly as the telecommunications sector did for the last 10 to 20 years, and … at the department, we're going to try to do what we can to quicken that pace along."
A surrogate for Cape Wind?
Sissine speculated the $49 million request for an offshore wind demonstration project was meant to fill a gap caused by the lag in offshore wind development in the wake of a nine-year battle over development of Cape Wind, a proposed 130-turbine offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is expected to make a final decision about that project's future in April.
"I'm trying to read through the lines here, but I'm seeing that the demonstration may be an effort to break up the logjam that's going on in the development of offshore wind," Sissine said.
Zoi also emphasized the proposed offshore wind project.
"We're very excited about doing what we can to hasten the development of the offshore wind industry," she said. "There's a lot of enthusiasm, but there are also a lot of challenges. The lead times are too long for the private sector, and we've got to figure out an appropriate government role to reduce the pressure of those lead times."
"There's no fundamental reason why it can't work," Zoi added.
EPA Prepares to Take the Lead on Regulating CO2
From the moment President Barack Obama took office, he has emphasized the importance of dealing with climate change. He's said that the right way to do it is to pass congressional legislation that would cap greenhouse-gas emissions. But eight months after the House of Representatives passed a cap-and-trade bill, similar legislation remains mired in the Senate, its chances of passage dimming by the day. With midterm elections not far off "" threatening serious losses in Democratic seats in Congress "" it's reasonable to wonder whether the carbon-capping bill will ever become law in the U.S.
But there is a Plan B. In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases like CO2 could be considered pollutants and gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the power to regulate them under the Clean Air Act. Although that authority went unused in the waning days of former President George W. Bush's Administration, the Obama EPA has spent much of the past year preparing the groundwork for regulation. In the absence of a climate bill, the EPA has the power "" and is legally mandated by the Supreme Court "" to step in and address carbon emissions.
Problem solved, right? The trouble is that as controversial as cap-and-trade legislation has become, EPA regulation is an even bigger political minefield. Republicans are universally against it, claiming that clumsy top-down CO2 regulation will kill American jobs by strangling power plants and other industry. Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska, introduced a bill late last year that would explicitly prevent the EPA from regulating carbon, and she already has 40 co-sponsors. Many Democrats also have their doubts "" eight Democratic Senators from coal-heavy states sent a letter on Sunday, Feb. 21, to EPA administrator Lisa Jackson listing "serious economic and energy security concerns" with greenhouse-gas regulation.
Other skeptics have used recent revelations of a few errors in the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to attack the very notion of global warming and the basis for the EPA's ruling that CO2 is a human health hazard. "The EPA's endangerment finding rests on bad science," Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, a Republican, said at an annual Senate hearing on the EPA's budget on Tuesday, Feb. 23. "The EPA needs to start over."
Both Jackson and President Obama have emphasized many times that they would prefer that Congress take the lead on climate change; many assumed that the mere threat of the EPA's regulatory authority would goad Congress into action. Now the question is, If the Senate won't move, can the EPA act effectively?
Jackson has already begun to outline how greenhouse-gas regulations might work. Responding to the concerns of Democrats, she emphasized in a letter on Monday that only major sources of greenhouse-gas emissions would be subject to regulation before 2013, and that smaller emitters wouldn't be regulated before 2016. That decision seemed designed to blunt criticism that top-down regulations could negatively impact small-business owners, not just major power plants and factories. "I share your goals of ensuring economic recovery at this critical time and of addressing greenhouse-gas emissions in sensible ways that are consistent with the call for comprehensive energy and climate legislation," wrote Jackson.
Chevron Corp. to build solar plant on part of New Mexico metals mine
Chevron Corp. said Tuesday it will build a solar power plant near a mine that a subsidiary operates in New Mexico.
The plant will generate electricity by spreading 175 solar panels across 20 acres at Chevron's molybdenum mine in the village of Questa.
San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron, the country's second-largest oil company, didn't disclose how much it would cost to build.
Kit Carson Electric Cooperative has agreed to buy the energy generated from the 1-megawatt plant through a power-purchase agreement. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring.
Chevron Technology Ventures, the subsidiary that's building the plant, views the plant as a demonstration site that will teach the company how to use solar on other properties.
Chevron shares fell 92 cents to $72.04 in Tuesday trading.
Environmental Protection Agency takes heat on climate rule
Republicans, major business groups and a handful of coal-state Democrats are launching a barrage of attacks against the Environmental Protection Agency, hoping to stop new rules that would regulate greenhouse gas emissions across the economy.
In December, EPA officially declared greenhouse gases a danger to public health and welfare under the Clean Air Act. The action was mandated by a 2007 Supreme Court ruling.
The White House has repeatedly said that the administration would prefer to regulate the emissions through congressional legislation "" but has also noted that with no legislation in sight, the agency has no choice but to move forward with the new "endangerment" rules.
"The law of the land found that greenhouse gases are pollutants, and they ordered EPA to make a determination," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said Tuesday during a hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. "Rather than ignore that obligation, I chose, as administrator, and I believe I have no choice but to follow the law."
That decision has prompted a broad group of interests to try to stop or suspend the regulations through petitions, lawsuits and legislation.
Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski hopes to bring a resolution to the floor in the next month that would overturn the EPA rule.
She's attracted support from 35 Republicans and three moderate Democrats "" Sens. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana "" who oppose taking up economywide cap-and-trade legislation this year.
Murkowski says her resolution isn't intended to block climate legislation but to give Congress more time to enact a bill. Her committee is exploring alternative climate proposals, including a carbon tax, according to aides.
Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) is also currently drafting legislation that would suspend EPA action in order to give Congress more time to act on a climate and energy bill.
14 Responses to Energy and Global Warming News for February 24: Kerry insists US to move on climate; the weapons industry is going green?
If the GOP does not like the current 1,000+ page Senate bill, I say a one page carbon disposal fee. Pick a fee. $25/ton, $50/ton, $100/ton? The higher the better if we attempt a revenue neutral with sustainable mitigation built in. Currently, $0.00/ton and the Public is paying for all mitigation costs. Corporations and already rich stuffing money in their pockets. (And liking it just fine like that!)
How about just paying the interest on the National Debt that is owed on fuel imports!
While I support the concept, what makes you think the GOP would like _anything_ at this point? They're so invested in AGW denial (a few senators excepted) that it has made it impossible to turn around. You can't call climate scientists a bunch of treasonous, grant-grubbing communists, only to turn around and support them later.
Unfortunately, this is going to have to get done without the help of (most of) the GOP.

Hello again, Senator Kerry, keep fighting.
I'm interested in the whole notion of replacing cap and trade with a carbon tax. Is this a phony diversion, given the low probability of instituting a carbon tax, or is there actually broad support for this tax? I'm not sold on cap and trade, but am loath to go down a fruitless path, especially one that is supported by people like Senator Murkowski.
+++Obama's Energy Plan: All of the Above — Including a Price on Carbon+++
And: Chinese government brings Hummer to an end: http://nyti.ms/HumChi
Obama 24th February 2010
"But to truly transition to a clean energy economy, I've also said that we need to put a price on carbon pollution," Obama told the business leaders, some of whom staunchly oppose regulation of carbon emissions.
"Many businesses have embraced this approach — including some who are represented here today. Still, I am sympathetic to those companies that face significant potential transition costs, and I want to work with this organization and others like this to help with those costs and get our policies right.
"What we can't do is stand still. The only certainty of the status quo is that the price and supply of oil will become increasingly volatile; that the use of fossil fuels will wreak havoc on weather patterns and air quality. But if we decide now that we're putting a price on this pollution, in a few years, it will give businesses the certainty of knowing they have the time to plan for the transition.
"This country has to move toward a clean energy economy. That's where the world is going. And that's how America will remain competitive and strong in the 21st century."
Bloom — the Martian invention that could revolutionize Earth
A Silicon Valley firm has unveiled a device that it says could revolutionize the way that we produce and consume electricity.
The Bloom Energy Server, publicly shown for the first time on February 24, mixes gas and air to produce electricity via a clean chemical reaction. Originally developed to provide power on Mars, the invention could soon be powering our homes, dramatically reducing our reliance on the fossil-fuel powered electricity grid for energy.
Bloom Energy, the company behind the invention, unveiled the mini power plant for corporate customers on February 24, assisted by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former US Secretary of State Colin Powell. Each box produces 100 kilowatts (kW) of power, enough to meet the needs of approximately 100 average U.S. homes or a small office building. Uniquely, it does not connect to the electricity grid, providing electricity creation and storage independently.
Fuel cell research
Jonah, #2: The GOP will not like anything or accept any Democratic solution. That appears to be a given. At this point I care not what they want, my approach is to get some kind of workable cost effective solution that we can go public with and show that we care and that the GOP do not. The GOP have been driving the dialog with there continued "divide and conquer" strategy. We need to go for their juggler and leave them by the wayside. There thinking is devoid of any humanitarian value. Trying to work with them will only compromise any success unless they acknowledge that there is a problem and we work accordingly.
Interesting talk by Jeff Rubin the other day – http://www.environmentalleader.com/2010/01/15/jeff-rubin-at-the-business-of-climate-change/ – it would be good if all senators and others who are really interested in helping America's future could watch it and learn (although it is 45 minutes so might be hard work). The first half is primarily about "peak oil" but then he segues into the potential for a carbon tax+tariff regime to revitalize American industry.

North Harbour have retained Liam Barry as coach even though
they finished a distant last in the second-tier Championship
division of this year's ITM Cup.
Barry, who took over the union in 2011, will be joined by
Alex Dowd, who has been head coach of the North Harbour
development side since 2009 and successfully coached Takapuna
to the club premiership titles in 2007 and 2008.
Jeff Wilson, whose contract as assistant coach expired at the
end of the 2012 season, had previously advised he would not
reapply for the role.
"While 2012 has been a frustrating year for North Harbour,
the board is confident that the combination of two very
capable coaches with a strong North Harbour pedigree is the
right choice to leverage the rugby talent in the North
Harbour region," North Harbour chairman John Morgan said.
"The North Harbour Rugby Union has made significant progress
in recent years in many aspects of its activities from the
growth in player numbers to almost 10,000, the strength of
its community rugby programme, to its success in many
age-group representative competitions.
"The board, like many of our fans, stakeholders and
supporters want that progress extended to include success on
the field for our ITM Cup team."
Harbour won only one of their 10 games in this year's ITM
Cup, a 42-10 defeat of Tasman in their final game of the

LAS VEGAS (May 2, 2014) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a warning for people who take on extreme obstacle courses such as the Tough Mudder.
The CDC issued a memo this week that warns that animal feces in the muddy water along the courses can give participants a bad case of diarrhea.
CDC officials say nearly two-dozen people reported that they became sick after participating in a muddy race in October 2012 in rural Beatty, Nevada.
The investigation traced the sickness to the bacteria campylobacter coli, and concluded people became sick after accidentally swallowing contaminated water.
Health officials say adventure races in the U.S. drew about 1.5 million participants in 2012.
Participants face obstacles such as leaping over a wall of flames and slithering on their bellies through mud.

What kind of shows does Alpha Shows produce?
Alpha's shows are essentially musical rock-concerts for children wrapped up in a classic story. They have a unique ability to be fun for all ages (no, seriously, they really are… even though it seems every children's theatre company claims this!). They are famous for creating excitement, screams and a love for theatre (and for the performers!). We cycle the shows and frequently tour all 8 of them – THE ALPHA SHOWS OF: 'The Little Mermaid', 'King Arthur', 'Aladdin', 'Hercules', 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Cinderella', 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. The shows are modern (except the sets and costumes fit in with the period of each show), with references to pop culture that children (and adults) relate to and modern pop songs tailored to fit into various points in the story line. However – they are NOT Disney shows or related in any way to Disney! Whilst some similarities exist by the virtue of needing to appeal to people's expectations and the similarities that would exist by taking inspiration from the same fairytale, all of Alpha's shows have been created uniquely, with unique characters based on our own interpretation of the fairytale or book or myth, skewed to our own ideas about what children and humanity will respond positively to in the 21st century. They are full of beautiful princesses and princes, zany characters, evil villains, clever FX and a rock-concert atmosphere. Our shows are very funny with jokes for kids and also one-liners for the adults. They also always have a 'heart'. They are essentially a fun, hilarious 'diversion' whilst we subconsciously create learning through 'values', life / character lessons and role models. Our product is very unique and you'll get a real sense of contribution doing this job.
How long are rehearsals?
Generally, rehearsals will, depending on the show, be 4-11 days (depends on how many new cast members or how much the show has changed from previous years), from 8am til 5pm. They will take place at Alpha's base, Westernport Highway, Langwarrin. All cast are required for all rehearsals and must be available full time during the day. You therefore must not be at school/uni or in amateur shows as this is full time work. We usually rehearse every day for the period including weekends, but every so often take days off. Actors generally stay on site for rehearsals as we have full accommodation for all actors on site.
Where does Alpha Tour?
Alpha Shows tour throughout Melbourne, regional Victoria and other areas of Australia. We will normally spend a few weeks in metropolitan Melbourne. Then, we will spend a few weeks touring regionally where the company will arrange & pay for accommodation in hotels/apartments/houses for the cast. When the tour is in Melbourne, Actors generally stay on site in Langwarrin and travel in the Truck each day to venues. This way you can eliminate virtually all living and 'travelling to venues' expense. Other than food/toiletries, all your expenses are taken care of. We suggest that no matter what, you should drive your car and stay in Langwarrin. If you're coming from out of state, we also suggest you drive down so that on days off in Melbourne, you have your freedom. Actors who didn't bring their cars in the past have felt isolated on weekends with sometimes not much to do. The other alternative is to bring another project or start one – like learning an instrument, writing a script or songs – these are the types of things actors have done in the past to keep growing and learning whilst on tour. Bring your laptop, we have free wi-fi in Langwarrin, but you might want to get your own mobile internet for when you're on the road. Ensemble Members get access to free wi-fi for the entire tour + other benefits.
What kinds of venues?
Most of Alpha's shows are performed in Primary Schools, ages Kinder – Year 7/8 and variations on that. Some tours cover a season over the holidays, where we perform shows at Melbourne and Regional Theatres that have booked us, or other venues like where families come to, although this is becoming less likely in the current economic climate. We are also booked by local councils, churches, school holiday programs, various other community groups and even big corporations. We perform shows during the day, during the evening as well as weekend shows (although generally this job is a day job). Be ready for a LOT of performing!
How long will we be away from home?
Although you may be away from home (ie. Melbourne) for 2-3 consecutive weeks, only when we travel interstate would you be away over weekends. Sometimes we have weekend shows as well, but this is rare. Sometimes a week is really easy, lots of shows in Melbourne and home nice & early. Some weeks are harder with travel in the evenings to get to a new town. If you step up to drive the truck you are paid substantially more. You will definitely need to show resilience & develop independence from family and friends. We have had many cast members struggle if being on tour means being away from a boyfriend or girlfriend or a familiar routine. You will want to be adventurous and ready for a new lifestyle if this is your first tour! This is a professional, mature acting job and you will be want to develop the ability to care for yourself and understand the need to tour to get live theatre to different areas around Australia. This is important – if you are a professional actor you will have come to understand the no matter what job you get in the entertainment industry, you are almost certainly going to be travelling. A professional actor understands this. A movie role in a major feature film, working at a theme park, performing on a cruise ship, touring in a major musical, going to Hollywood, shooting Lord of the Rings in New Zealand – all of it requires travelling. The Alpha job is no different! You should be prepared for a reasonable amount of travel and variation in your life – get ready to 'live the show'! If you hate travel or can't stand the idea of being away from home, your boyfriend or girlfriend, or your parents, not only should you not apply for Alpha, you may need to seriously consider how the entertainment industry will work for you long term. Performing jobs that just happen to be based in your home town for any length of time are very rare! Even if you get one like being cast in Neighbours, your next gig is probably going to involve traveling – most TV actors move to Hollywood, and most musical theatre performers once more successful, end up on long tours around Australia where you might only do a few weeks or a month or so in your home town. We know that Alpha may not be your ultimate 'goal' for your performing career, we get that, but it is the same as these experiences in terms of being away from home and the need to become accustomed to that reality. In that way, Alpha is a great preparation job to help build the resilience and skills needed to take your dream to the extreme and prove you're ready to go to Hollywood or tour in major musicals. The skills you learn by being on tour with Alpha are hard to gain anywhere else, especially for young inexperienced performers. You gotta love the lifestyle of a performer to really get it and love it. All that said – you can do it! We will care for you and make sure you're supported on tour, just be up front and let us know how we can help you! Your Tour Manager is very approachable and cares a great deal about the welfare of every cast member, even between tours.
How much do we get paid?
See the Company Pay Structure. We pay different rates for various types of days. Most days we do 2 shows in 2 different venues, and the rate for a day like this ends up being higher than equity (if you divide the equity weekly rate by 5 to get an approx daily rate). Some days are easier days, with less time needed from you (and less income for the company) so the pay is a bit less on these days. The pay is very fair and reasonable and the structure has been created with consultation and full transparency with our Ensemble Actors (actors that are part of the company long term and have the opportunity for acting work over most of the year). There are also higher pay rates for returning cast members playing the same role in the same show, as we very much value actors who desire to stay in the Company long term and challenge themselves by doing the same show again but learning more about their own performing abilities. We find this can be rewarding for an actor and so we reward that as it also helps the company to have experienced people in each show. Please let us know early on whether you are thinking you'd like to do lots of shows with us over a few years (we can't read minds!). Additionally, there are many other perks both financial and non-financial to the job, some of which are highlighted in the Actor Downloads on the left hand side menu here. Check them out and have a read of what benefits we provide to long term Company Cast Members and Ensemble Members.
How many shows per day?
Alpha tours perform 2 shows for most days of the tours, occasionally we will only perform one & have an afternoon off or travel to a new town. Sometimes (very rarely), a cast might perform three shows in a venue, during school time, or two during school time & one in the early evening. A more detailed itinerary is given to all actors on the last day of rehearsals. We give you access to our calendar on your phone, so you can start to get an idea of the tour. Any questions you can direct to your Tour Manager.
Do we do our own setting up?
All the cast members become familiar during rehearsals in various areas of sound and lighting. So yes! Part of this job is working as a team of 6 to create the magic of theatre for our audiences! You'll be overwhelmed for the first day or so but then it just slots into place after a few good sleeps! We've been doing this a long time and it really is a magical experience to work with your fellow cast mates and set up such an impactful event in such a short time. We schedule 90 minutes for set ups, but eventually they usually only take about 30 minutes, with the rest of the time spent doing mic checks and getting into costumes and waiting for the audience to arrive! It's all very exciting and VERY rewarding because the final result really does look like you're performing a major musical with all the same top quality mics and sound system and lighting – all very theatrical! So it's no big deal (and quite a lot of fun!) – you will never be 'left alone' to do something difficult, we have a lot of experienced cast members that you'll be working with. Bonus though – after mastering the job with Alpha, you are experienced enough to take on almost any job in the industry. Important though – you must not have any previous serious injuries if you're going to work in Alpha – no bad backs or injured knees, as you will be doing moderate lifting. Don't worry, everything is safe and divided into easy to manage 'bits', and it's all perfectly reasonable for a healthy active performer – we won't kill you! It's just to make the shows as impactful as possible. If you're like us (and we hope you kinda are in some ways!) you'll quickly get a passion for the technical aspects of the show. Not only do you learn a lot personally, but you can really feel a great sense of contribution as the hard work you put in before the show to set up really pays off in the reaction and delight of the audience. Therefore, you should not apply for Alpha if you're the type of actor that is just about the 'fame' or attention (we're sure you're not like that!). Don't get us wrong, you will get plenty of adoration by our audiences, they'll ask you for autographs and surround you after the shows asking questions.
Don't take our word for it – hear it from current Alpha Actors »

Odell Beckham Jr. is going to have to serve his one-game suspension.
The NFL has fined Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman $26,044 for his role in several incidents involving Odell Beckham Jr. and the Giants in Sunday's game.
Odell Beckham Jr. is going to have his appeal of his one-game suspension heard by a former NFL receiver.
A frustrated Ron Rivera will no longer allow Carolina players to bring baseball bats on the field before games even though he said the Panthers have done nothing wrong.
The NFL is suspending Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. one game for his antics in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers, the league announced Monday.
Beckham was responsible for almost all of the worst parts of Sunday's loss, which dropped the Giants to 6-8 and one game behind Washington in the NFC East with two games to play.
