Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: RASKIN
Project Title: Building New Pharmaceutical Capabilities in Central Asia
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Central Asia ICBG program will facilitate the development of the natural product-based pharmaceutical capabilities in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan while encouraging biodiversity conservation and exploration, building research and economic capacity, developing ecologically-sustainable harvesting means and enhancing training and international cooperation. Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan possess diverse and largely unexplored biodiversity spread over a wide range of climatic zones. The program will integrate wide-ranging, state-of-the art, multiple-target screens performed by five separate groups with powerful structural and analytical approaches designed to characterize and develop therapeutic agents produced by plants, fungi and prokaryotes from Central Asia. The program will build upon a well-developed, longstanding cooperation between the scientists in the participating countries and Rutgers University, which is supported by comprehensive legal agreements. Human diseases relevant to this region will be purposely targeted, involvement of the local scientists actively encouraged and the ethnobiological knowledge upheld. Care will be taken to assure equitable benefit sharing and biodiversity treaties compliance. The screens associated with the proposed ICBG program will encompass 10 major therapeutic areas and close to 60 specific disease-related human targets and pathogenic microorganisms. The program will generate 108,000 prokaryotic, 10,260 plant and 6,000 fungal samples for the primary phase of these screens. A comprehensive training and bioinformatics initiative, made possible through major matching funds from Rutgers University and University of Illinois, will strengthen the research and development component of the program and further increase its impact on biodiversity preservation and inventory.

Dustin Ray Parham, 26, was sentenced to 18 years in jail last week for statutory rape. Initially charged with three felony counts of first-degree rape on May 6, 2011, Parham pleaded guilty to statutory rape Wednesday.
Parham has remained in custody of the Henderson County Detention Center since he was arrested on a bench warrant in July. The warrant was issued for his failure to appear in Henderson County Superior Court for his felony charges April 22.

SACRAMENTO -- Opposition to a mandatory minimum sentence for juveniles who sexually assault unconscious victims delayed state lawmakers' consideration Tuesday of a measure named for a Saratoga teen who killed herself after such an attack.
A planned vote on "Audrie's Law" was rescheduled for next week by leaders of the Assembly Public Safety Committee in hopes that the San Jose lawmaker who authored the bill can strike a compromise with juvenile justice advocates who are fighting it.
Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, agreed to continue talks on his proposal, which won unanimous support from the Senate several weeks ago, but he stressed that lawmakers would be failing the people of California if they choose not to update the juvenile code.
"We need some criminal justice reform. We can't stay this way," Beall said. "We need to look ahead. We need to mandate treatment for people who commit these violent crimes."
Senate Bill 838 would broaden the definition of rape in California's criminal code for juveniles to include sexual assault of an unconscious or developmentally disabled person. It would also make cyberbullying a crime when photos or messages are used to embarrass, harass or intimidate others.
The legislation is named for Saratoga High School student Audrie Pott, a 15-year-old who killed herself in September 2012 a week after a drunken house party where she passed out, woke up and found crude messages scribbled on her half-naked body.
The three male classmates who assaulted Audrie and took photos of her were 16 at the time, and supporters of the legislation say a loophole in law allowed them to skate by with virtually no punishment. They received sentences of 30 to 45 days for the attack, and two of them served it on weekends.
Influential juvenile justice advocates -- including the San Francisco-based Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice -- agree that what happened to Audrie was horrific and that her assailants' punishment was unusually light considering the severity of the crime. But they said they will not support the proposed measure unless it's amended.
Audrie's Law would require juveniles who sexually assault an unconscious or developmentally disabled victim to serve at least two years at a juvenile detention center or ranch and to undergo sex offender treatment. The bill's opponents say this punishment is too tough and prescriptive.
"The goal of California's juvenile justice system is to get the youth back on the right track, and that goal won't be met with long periods of incarceration at a formative time in a youth's life," said Lizzie Buchen, a policy analyst with the juvenile justice center.
Audrie's family isn't buying that argument and doesn't want Beall to give an inch on the proposed sentencing requirements.
"We're not willing to budge on the two-year minimum," said Sheila Pott, Audrie's mother, who testified on Tuesday alongside Audrie's father, stepmother and grandmother.
"We can't just say that it's OK to drug your victims, OK to assault them, OK to photograph them and intimidate them and that all you'll get is a slap on the wrist," Sheila Pott said in an interview.
"They must realize that their behavior has to change, and there's no way it can in a 30- to 45-day period."

A Warren Local student was the first to spot the wreckage of a fatal four-wheeling accident that occurred in Fleming Tuesday.
Steven N. Proctor, 55, of 2318 Deming Road, was pronounced dead at the scene, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
"He was actually discovered by a child on a passing school bus. He saw the four-wheeler lying upside down," said Mincks.
When he got off the school bus Tuesday afternoon, the child informed an adult. The two then took an ATV to where the child specified and found the body, said Mincks.
The state of the body led officers to believe that the crash happened well before being discovered.
"The body had likely been there for quite some time, hours probably," said Mincks.
Though no one witnessed the accident, officers believe Proctor was driving around on a hillside and lost control of the vehicle. It appeared that the ATV flipped on top of him, possibly multiple times, while rolling down the hill.
Proctor was apparently able to get the four-wheeler off of himself, but was unable to move from the scene. The exact cause of death is unknown at this time, but no foul play is suspected, said Mincks.

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State's new football coach Ron Caragher will earn nearly one-third more than predecessor Mike MacIntyre, according to documents obtained by this newspaper.
Caragher's contract will pay him a minimum of $525,000 annually, with the potential to reach $720,000 with bonus money for meeting incentives.
MacIntyre was paid a minimum of $395,000 at San Jose State. He left to coach at Colorado, where he will make $2 million annually. This past season at SJSU, MacIntyre made about $465,000 with various incentive bonuses, which included $17,000 for the Spartans' win over BYU.
MacIntyre's old contract placed him in the middle of the pack in the Western Athletic Conference but would've made him the lowest paid coach when SJSU joins the Mountain West Conference next season.
Caragher's deal still ranks low on the conference ladder, ahead of only new Nevada coach Brian Polian and UNLV coach Bobby Hauck. Contract information for new Utah State coach Gary Wells hasn't been released yet, but previous coach Gary Anderson made $415,000, according to the USA Today.
The five-year deal for Caragher includes a buyout of $750,000 if he leaves for another job before Jan. 30, 2016. After that, the buyout dips to $550,000 until June 30, 2017.
Caragher can earn a $40,000 bonus if the Spartans win a conference championship and $100,000 if the team plays in a BCS bowl game. There's a $10,000 bonus for participating in a non-BCS bowl game.
He also would earn $40,000 for winning eight or more games in a season and $10,000 if he was named the conference coach of the year. There's also a $5,000 bonus for having a single-year Academic Progress Rate score of 960 or higher.
San Jose State's single-year APR for the 2010-11 academic year -- the most recent year in which statistics are available -- is 981. It's four-year score through 2010-11 is 959.

BEAUMONT, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team earned a 5-2 victory on Friday night behind 10 hits and five runs from the offense, and a complete game with 10 strikeouts by Daniel Minor in the first game of the Southland Conference series against Lamar. The two teams are scheduled to play game two with a 2 p.m. start on Saturday afternoon at Vincent-Beck Stadium.
The Islanders improved to 22-27 overall, with a 13-15 mark in league games. Lamar fell to 19-28 on the year, 11-17 in conference. Minor pitched his fourth complete game of the season against the Cardinals, giving up 10 hits, but just two runs while striking out 10-or-more batters for the fourth time this season to improve his won-loss record to 9-2.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi also produced 10 hits, getting five runs of support for Minor to take the Friday night contest. Drew Vest, Jordan Lee and Weston Montgomery each had two hits on the night, while Eric Weiss produce two RBI. Weiss, Jonathan Gonzales, Brad Porras and Santiago Ruiz each had one hit in the game, while Gonzales, Lee and Montgomery had one RBI apiece.
In the first inning, Vest led off the game with a bounding double over the head of the third baseman, and moved over to third on a Weiss groundout. He came home to score on an RBI single by Gonzales to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead in the first inning.
In the fourth inning, Texas A&M – Corpus Christi added to the lead after Porras singled, and came all the way around on a triple by Lee to make it 2-0. Montgomery added an RBI sacrifice bunt on a safety squeeze that brought Lee home for a 3-0 lead.
The next inning the Islanders added another pair to extend the lead to 5-0. Omar Garcia got the rally started with by drawing a one-out walk, and moved over to second on a throwing error by the pitcher. He advanced to third on a Vest single, and Vest advanced to second on a stolen base. Both runners came home to score on a two-RBI double to right center field by Weiss to make it a 5-0 game.
Lamar got on the board in the bottom of the sixth with two runs on three hits to cut the lead to 5-2, but it is all Minor allowed as he finished the game with a strikeout for his 10th of the night, marking his fourth complete game and his fourth of the year with 10-plus strikeouts.
The Saturday game between the two teams is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start on the Lamar campus. Trevor Foss will get the start for the Islanders, while Eric Harrington will be on the mound for the Cardinals.

Was it really only 2 years ago that we were sitting on the floor of the Sheraton Hotel for Troy Timpel's Tattoo Arts Convention, close enough to photograph the sword as it slipped past Betty Bloomerz's uvula? It was. And what a difference 2 years and the Pennsylvania Convention Center makes.
This past weekend marked Troy and his Villian Art's 15th Annual Tattoo Arts Convention, and it was truly spectacular. With it's thriving tattoo community, the Philly convention has become a virtual Who's Who of tattoo artists. Philly convention regulars like Don "MF' Juan, Permanent Mark, Myke Chambers and Chris Torres were joined by an array of reality tattoo show hotties like Meghan Massacre, Amy Nicoletta, and Sarah Miller.
Entertainment was above and beyond anything we've seen at the past shows. Tattoo contests were huge this year. Our favorite Clown Babe Reverend Mackenzie Moltov and her fellow babes were on hand for arials, and general sideshow awesomeness. Suspensions, burlesque and pin-ups, oh my! I did miss the Rigor Mortis Review this year, and that made me sad, but Scarlett Storm managed to walk around naked all night, and that's never a bad thing. Somehow I also missed my favorite throw back to the days of Coney Island tattoos, Crazy Philadelphia Eddie, but that's ok. I still have my signed copy of "Tattooing, The Life and Times of Crazy Philadelphia Eddie" from last year, in case I forget about his trials and tribulations punctuated by bouts of Syphilis.
I love the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention. I love seeing the art. I love watching the artists. I love the colors of the ink and the tools for sale. I love the glares sometimes get when we get when we photograph the artists. I love being surrounded by thousands of people who agree that every one looks hotter with ink. When I got my first tattoo, my artist said "Welcome to the Club". Gotta say, this is the greatest membership ever!

SACRAMENTO - The U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday that a federal grand jury had returned a three-count indictment charging three people, including a Stockton woman, with child exploitation.
Jolene Davis, 37, of Stockton, Jason Wymer, 41, of Citrus Heights and Stormy Avers, 33, of Colfax were charged with production of child pornography, authorities said. The indictment alleges that the victims were relatives of Davis and Avers.
According to court documents, the case began when a parent accidentally texted a photo of an 8-year-old girl to Wymer. When Wymer asked for more photos and began a sexually explicit dialogue with what he thought was the 8-year-old girl, the girl's mother took her cellphone to the FBI.

One night at this club on New Years', I puked in my mouth but held it, mouth completely full. Seconds after this happened, a bouncer noticed and started walking toward me. I scurried away trying to be all slick and not let any puke out. I finally got away to the bathroom and got my shit together...half hour later the bouncer found me and kicked me out.
I blacked out on my 21st birthday (the drunkest night of my life and the drunkest I ever will be). When I woke up, I was at a toilet with my friend Kristen and her sisters and mom in the bathroom with me. There was also a cop putting a form in my face, telling me to sign it, because I was refusing medical attention. I think I recall him saying I was puking blood. Anyway, I snatched the form out of his hand and really tried reading it. Realizing this was going to take a while, I told him that he didn't care about me and that the NWA should make an appearance. I started punching the toilet and he left.

His story: I got on the plane before you guys and immediately passed out. Woke up about 30 minutes into the flight feeling woozy and needing to pee. Walk to the first class lav, sign says "vacant", so I throw the door open. And there she is. Beautiful stewardess...taking a dump. It smelled like she was shitting a dead cat. The smell hit me, disagreed with my delicate stomach, and I puked all over her. Then she screamed. The scream startled me and I puked all over myself. Then I didn't know what to do, so I went back to my seat and offended the nice lady next to me for the next 3 and a half hours with my vomit smelling clothes. I was late getting off the plane because I was hunting for the stew to give her $20 for her dry cleaning.
I can corroborate the smell in the cabin at 30 mins in, but I never heard a scream. It is, however, still a story that I get some mileage out of. [/i]

Good morning a welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is wondering how many people in our lives we call by the wrong name.
It's not that we don't try to remember people's names, but when you meet as many peeps out there as we do, it can get a little nerve-racking. Since as journalists we're supposed to have a steel trap for a memory, it can be a little embarrassing when we stumble or bumble our way through someone's name, or worse yet call them by an altogether different moniker than they have ever known.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: Why don't you do what everybody's mother told them to do and repeat the person's name after meeting them?
SUMMIT UP: That sounds far too practical for our standards. Perhaps with all the great advancements in technology in the last century someone has come up with a device to make remembering names easy peasy lemon squeezy?
(sound of googling)
MSUR: They have, it's called a name tag. But the fact remains that you can't require everyone to wear one when out in public.
SU: While you were expounding on the validity of universal name tags we managed to go a little research of our own. It says on this ol' website we found - theartofmanliness.com - that there are multiple devices a "gentleman" can use to etch those names to memory (we're pretty sure that the techniques are equally as effective for the fairer sex as well). We think that we'll use the ol' "visualize the person's name on their forehead" approach.
Well, that's all we have got today. If you see us out and we stare intently at your forehead, don't take it personally, we're just trying to remember your name.

Man surrenders after deputies surround home
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 3:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 10:58 a.m.
Deputies surrounded a Bayou Blue home for more than two hours Monday afternoon after a caller alerted them that an armed man was holding a woman hostage inside, police said.
Paul Sampay, 20, 147 Pugh Court, Houma, surrendered peacefully outside the Linda Street trailer after about two and half hours, Lafourche sheriff's spokesman Brennan Matherne said, and the unnamed woman was not harmed.
Sampay faces a domestic abuse battery charge after an incident last week involving the same woman, but Matherne declined to provide specifics.
Sampay doesn't face charges related to Monday because the woman said she was not being held against her will and was free to leave at any time. The hostage report, he said, came from a "third party" about 1 p.m.
Sampay had a shotgun in his possession, but it was not loaded and he had no ammunition.
The investigation is ongoing, but "right now there is nothing to charge him with," Matherne said.
Sampay was in the Lafourche Parish jail this morning on a probation violation in Terrebonne Parish.

Tuscaloosa man charged in Devils Diciples case
Published: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 10:42 p.m.
Authorities in Baldwin County have charged a sixth person in connection with the killing of a Devils Diciples gang member.
Charles Eric Ozier, 24, of Tuscaloosa was charged Friday with hindering prosecution in the case, said Baldwin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Major Anthony Lowery. Fred Weiss, 45, of Northport, and Adam Mayton, 30, of Tuscaloosa, are accused of killing another member of the group last month.
The body of Samuel Dixon was found near a stream in Baldwin County on Sept. 11. His wife reported him missing from their Milton, Fla., home a few days earlier.
Ozier is the fourth person charged with hindering prosecution since Weiss and Mayton were charged with capital murder the day Dixon's body was found.
Mayton and Ozier both share an address on Plantation Road off Alabama Highway 69 South. Mayton and Weiss are being held on $1 millon bonds. Ozier was being held Monday with bail set at $10,000.
A Baldwin County district judge denied Mayton's request for a bond reduction, and ordered that investigators collect cheek swab DNA samples from all five of the people who have been charged previously. Court files about Ozier's case weren't available Monday.
Mayton is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Thursday. A hearing for Weiss is scheduled for Oct. 25.

De La Salle High's 2014 football schedule could be highlighted by a Sept. 12 home game against South Carolina power Byrnes of Duncan.
The Rebels have won 11 state championships and were 12-2 last year, ending their season in the Class AAA I state semifinals. The schools are in discussions about a Sept. 12 game, but a deal has not yet been finalized.
The rest of the Spartans' schedule was announced Sunday and includes many of Northern California's top programs. They will have rematches with several of their 2013 opponents, but have also added Jesuit-Carmichael as their season opener, replacing Clayton Valley Charter. The Marauders are coached by Marlon Blanton, a 1991 De La Salle graduate.
Serra-San Mateo, Del Oro-Loomis and Servite-Anaheim will also play De La Salle early on in the season. Serra gave De La Salle its closest regular season game last year, losing 21-14 on a late touchdown run. Del Oro reached the Division I state final in December while Servite is expected to be one of Southern California's top teams next season.
Here's the full schedule:
Aug. 29 --- JESUIT
Sept. 5 -- SERRA-SAN MATEO
Sept. 12 -- TBD
Sept. 19 -- at Del Oro-Loomis
Sept. 27 -- SERVITE-ANAHEIM
Oct. 3 -- at San Ramon Valley
Oct. 10 -- JAMES LOGAN
Oct. 17 -- Bye
Oct. 24 -- FOOTHILL (senior night)
Nov. 8 -- at California

Topic: My Inspiration, Wisdom and Motivation
Inspiration: My spouse was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Each day from that day forward was a blessing because he was here and doing well, comparatively speaking! He inspired me to look for the POSITIVE things in life rather than to focus on the negatives!
Wisdom: To know the difference between the things that I can change and the things that I cannot change! I could not change the fact that my spouse had terminal cancer, but I could, and did, everything within my power to make sure that he had good doctors who were looking out for his best interests! And each day I did whatever needed to be done to make him comfortable.
Motivation: Even though some days were rough on me, having to work along with caring for my spouse, my motivation to stay strong and do a good job in everything I did revolved around him. I saw him when he iwas beaten and downtrodden and very sick and yet he somehow found the strength to continue on each day and do the things that he could do. He accepted that his cancer would someday take him away and yet he did not feel sorry for himself, he felt sorry for the ones he would have to leave behind. That alone gave me motivation to not 'wallow in pity' for myself.
RIP my love, Thomas G. Lepp 2/11/1947 - 11/20/2011 - LIVING THE DASH between the date of birth and the date of passing, that is the most important thing in your life!

C25K is part of what will end up being a lot of lifestyle changes in my life. I figured getting off the couch last week & a quit date for a Stop Smoking program set for next Monday, I had more than enough to deal with for a while. Wrong...LOL. I'm underweight - part of what needs fixing & because I've never had a huge appetite or problems with extra pounds, I've never paid attention to what I eat. I wasn't planning on worrying about it until running was a more comfy part of my routine & until the worst of the nicotine/smoking withdrawal symptoms were past. But judging by how I'm feeling, the time to start paying attention to my nutrition is...NOW.
I know the basic food groups, I can quickly call up the proper carb-protein-fats ratios & I'm not a junk food junkie although my eating habits do leave a great deal to be desired. At this point I'm not concerned about the minutia of micronutrients or 'elite' type performance eating. But I suspect eating correctly before & after my C25K sessions can only help. I've mentioned I'm underweight - result of years of battling untreated depression which I'm currently dealing with. I don't have any eating disorders; I simply have no real interest in food when I'm depressed. I'd been eating because I have to not because I enjoyed it. I've found my appetite & have actually put on a few pounds.
I want the RIGHT kind of poundage going on. Yes, I could sure use some body fat but am interested in good, lean muscle mass & having energy for my runs without getting the high carb crash from the wrong kinds of carbs during or just after a run. Yes, I will certainly be making time to review nutrition & do some meal planning but time is a bit tight the next few weeks. So I'm asking for help here - bearing in mind that I'm still in the very early stages of C25K. I do my runs VERY early in the morning now, generally well before 0600. I get up not long before that & right now, eating that early is... forget it! I'll have to work on changing that but I'll wait until next week when I'm not having to get up at 0500 or run almost right after I get up.
What sorts of things then, should I snack on the evening before a run & what should I nibble on after my run, cooldown & cleanup routine that will keep me doing okay these next few weeks?
Thanx in advance!

This was posted by AFatManRunning ealier today and I think I would help you too..
~Getting the right number of calories is important, as either too many or too few can lead to weight gain. I use LiveStrong.com's MyPlate application. You can punch in your weight, your general activity level, and your weigh goal (e.g., maintain current weight, gain X lbs. per week, lose X lbs. per week), and it will give you a calorie target. ~
Eating unprocessed fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains is a great way to get to your target weight. When you quit smoking next week, you're metabolism is going to change somewhat. Give your body a few weeks to stabilize without the nicotine.
By the way, good job with all the changes. My last smoke was 01/01/10. My husband quit 11 weeks ago. It's hard, but you can do it. You have all of us for support.

Tom'scookie, thanx so much for that site. I'll take it as some kind of karma that it's Lance's site. One of the reasons I'm up so early is that I'm a utter Tour freak. I don't bike at all but pedal every inch of that route & up the mountains with them...LOL And that's why I'm running so early; so I can be home & hosed in time to get cleaned up, power through morning chores, then watch live coverage of each day's stage.
Congrats to both you & hubbie for quitting. C25K is making me a littl more confident every day & each passing hour convinces me that if I can get off the couch & pound pavement, I can chuck out my old metal cigarette tin, smash ashtrays & start breathing.
I quit Monday & figure I'll be chewing my Asics by Tuesday but I'll survive...LOL

Slog...my sister is huge TDF fan as well! She records everything so she doesn't miss a minute of it. She's been to every town in France where the races are run. She lights up when anyone mentions it or talks about Lance.
She used to do cycling trips in Europe. She loved it. She gave up the cycling trips so she could take my Mom with her to Europe before she passed away. I told her she needs to get back into it. She says she's too old (62). I told her to go for it! Life is way to short!

I've been underweight for most of my life as well. The neat thing is that running has given me a voracious appetite - I'm not used to being hungry and wanting to eat! I've actually put on 3lbs since I started the program and I just started W4.
The chemicals from the cigarettes, and also many medications can seriously affect your appetite. My son's on Adderall for ADHD and it completely takes away his appetite. I took him off it for the summer and he's gone from 62lbs to 68lbs in 4 weeks.
But back to running and nutrition...if you run in the morning can you squeeze in a glass of orange juice or a half of a banana before you go? You'll have more energy for your run. Nutritionally I try to eat mostly lean protein, whole grains, fruits & veggies. I've cut sugar, white starches, and caffeine out of my diet as they were a significant cause of my anxiety & occasional depression. It's amazing how much caffeine & sugar affect our body's chemistry and therefore our moods.
I'm sure once the chemicals from smoking are out of your body you'll feel much better. I'm so excited for you, taking this huge step!!
Another scrawny one! LOL You're right - my appetite can only be described as voracious in the last week. I'm not used to making sure I don't consume too many calories but that's the position I find myself in. I'm sticking to around 2500 calories a day & frankly, I'm still a bit hungry. By adding more whole grains, more fresh fruit & veg, I'll stay fuller longer & will be eating more nutritionally dense food. In a happy coincidence, I've noticed the last year or so that I'm not really liking much processed food, sugary foods or even salt & I used to be a major salt junkie. With a better zest, exploring healthy options is going to be fun.

Hey Slog - GREAT job setting AWESOME goals and taking so much action to be healthy!!! That is wonderful to read about! Please keep us updated on your progress. My last cigarette was Nov. 17, 2005. The first two weeks I was probably the most stupid/annoying person in the world. The chemical withdrawals and my body adjusting to not having nicotine after years of smoking, was unbelievable!! I couldn't walk, talk, or hold anything! I tripped, dropped stuff, and stuttered all over the place! I am happy to report it didn't last and was totally worth the effort!!! I have saved THOUSANDS of dollars, by not buying cigarettes, gum (to cover smokers breath) and tons of money at doctor's and pharmacy's from health complications of smoking. Hang in there!! You can do it!!!
I'm not an early runner, but my busy life style makes heathly eating a challenge at times. I am a big fan of Low Fat Mozerella string cheese (great protien source) and different protein bars. You can check out their caloric value and contents right on the package and find the one that is right for you. I love Pure Protien bars, for flavor, and calorie/protein content.
One of my favorite sayings - a car needs gas, and your body needs food!!! Fill it up with the good stuff and it will take you a long way!
Happy Running!!!

Have you ever been so happy with how things are going? Your job, family or life in general? Things are clicking along so well, you wonder when the bridge you just discovered to happiness will collapse?
Life never promised a garden full of beautiful roses, but it did promise a new day. What you do with that day is yours to choose.
You can sit and wallow in self pity about how life has handed you a manure pile, when in reality that very pile could be the fertilizer you need for tomorrow's plan.
Each day is a new gift to use the talents God has given each and everyone of us. If you are stuck in that hole, you need to start climbing one baby step at a time to finding what it is that makes you happy.
If you are upright and taking in air, God has just blessed you with another day. Don't waste it!
It's an amazing feeling when you stop concentrating on you, and focus on someone else. If you have time to spare... share it. Make a stop at a nursing home and visit a resident or someone who is a shut-in. The smile you bring them will bring a smile to you as well. Be thankful for today and every day.
Thought for the week: No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. – William Blake

I love the command line. If the command line were a dog, it would be a hard-headed labrador: big and somewhat intimidating, but really kind of even-tempered and friendly once she gets to know you.
I just compared the command line to my dog Roscoe. I love them both, and they both frustrate me.
I can't do much with Roscoe, but I can help out a bit with the command line. And so allow me to introduce four of my favorite utilities: df, du, file, and find.
Filesystem sizes with df
This one is easy. According to the man page, df stands for, "report file system disk space usage." I say it stands for, "disk free." But what do I know?
$ df -h
The -h tells df to report in human-readable numbers. Here, "human-readable" means "human-readable if you know the difference between G and M and K." You can also use -k (report in kilobytes) or -m (report in megabytes) if you desire. It's all up to you.
df -h gives up something like this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 7.4G 4.6G 2.4G 66% / varrun 1014M 128K 1014M 1% /var/run varlock 1014M 0 1014M 0% /var/lock procbususb 1014M 108K 1014M 1% /proc/bus/usb udev 1014M 108K 1014M 1% /dev devshm 1014M 0 1014M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda4 61G 7.3G 51G 13% /home /dev/sda1 40G 17G 23G 43% /media/sda1 /dev/scd0 7.8G 7.8G 0 100% /media/cdrom0
The first column is the device. For disks, this will be something like /dev/sda_n_, or /dev/hda_n_, where in a small number. Those other filesystems with names like udev or devshm or varrun are OS-specific. This output was taken from a GNU/Linux box running a 2.6.20 kernel.
The middle three columns show the total size, the amount used, and the amount avialable, just like the title says. The Use% column indicates the total percentage used. Generally, you don't want that to read 100%, except for CDs and DVDs, which will always show 100%. The final column tells you where in your directory hierarchy the filesystem is mounted.
That's if for the Very Short Tour of df.
Directory sizes with du
Suppose df reports a filesystem is full, and you need to find the culprit fast. Let's say for illustrative purposes the filesystem is /home. Here's one of my favorite commands of all time:
$ du -k /home | sort -n
Now, technically that's two commands. du stands for "estimate file space usage," though I hate the word "usage," because "use" will almost always work instead. I like to call it "disk use," for hopefully obvious reasons. The -k specifies reporting in kilobytes, rather than filesystem blocks. You can also use -m, which specifies megabytes, if you like smaller numbers. Do not use the -h option. -h means, "print in human-readable form," which will break our nifty sort operation.
The '|' (official name: "bar thingy") means "pipe." "Pipe" means, "take the output of this command, and pass it to the next command." In even simpler terms, this means "route STDOUT (standard out) of the first program to STDIN (standard in) of the next program."
sort sorts lines of data, just as the name implies. It isn't short for "somehow order random text" or anything like that. It just means, "sort." The -n option specifies to sort as if the first word were a number, rather than to sort it ASCIIbetically. For fun, try the sort without the -n. You'll quickly observe that "1" sorts before "101" which sorts before "2." For our purposes, the -n is quite important.
On my machine, that command gives this output:
4 /home/tony/.config/xfce4/orage 4 /home/tony/.config/xfce4/xfwm4 4 /home/tony/docs/fsm 4 /home/tony/docs/stories/speleology 4 /home/tony/.gimp-2.2/brushes . . . 512564 /home/tony/src 685672 /home/tony/tmp/zips 714508 /home/tony/tmp/iso 789240 /home/tony/tmp/tony 813236 /home/tony/video/roscoe 881512 /home/tony/video/family 1694756 /home/tony/video 3835596 /home/tony/tmp 7442492 /home/tony 7442496 /home
As you can see, I have a lot of stuff in /home/tony/tmp. I would look there for things to remove to free up space.
What kind of file is it?
Unlike some operating systems, GNU/Linux (and Unix-like operating systems in general) don't use filename extensions to determine the type of a file. So, a text file does not have to end in .txt, and a jpeg-encoded image file does not have to end in .jpg. Instead, there is a nifty utility called file that will report the filetype for you.
It's really pretty easy to use:
$ file blah.c blah.c: ASCII C program text
It's really that simple.
Of coure, it uses magic. /etc/magic. Really. I'm not kidding.
Finding files
Find is one of the unsung heroes of the Free software world. Many do not appreciate the functional finesse, the streamlined beauty of this perfect utility. Find can search for files based on name, on size, on ownership, on permissions, on modification time, on access time, on... well, just about anything. Combined with other utilities, you can search on content or file type.
For instance, to find all files ending in .c:
$ find /home -name \*.c -print
The /home tells find to start the search in the /home directory. The -name *.c specifies the pattern for which to search. The * means "anything," followed by .c, which means just that: search for anything ending in .c. The -print is the "predicate;" that is, the action we wish to perform on the things we find. We can do more than just print out filenames.
This gives the following output:
/home/tony/src/gnome/gnome-columns/src/jewel.c /home/tony/src/gnome/gnome-columns/src/texture.c /home/tony/src/gnome/gnome-columns/src/renderable.c /home/tony/src/gnome/gnome-columns/src/rectangle.c /home/tony/src/gnome/gnome-columns/src/gnome-columns.c /home/tony/src/gnome/gnome-columns/src/gameboard.c
(There was really a lot more output, but I wanted to keep the display simple.)
Search for files that have been recently changed:
$ find . -ctime -1 -print
This time I specified the start directory as ".", which is the current directory. I've specified the search criteria as -ctime -1, which means "change time, less than one day ago. Again, I specified print. Here is the output:
. ./blah
It returned only one file, blah. How boring.
Let's do something a little more interesting. Let's look for all PDFs in my home directory:
$ find ~ -exec file {} \; | grep PDF
I commanded find to start in my home directory by using the squiggly, '~'. (Actually, it's called a "tilde.") Then I specified it to execute a command, using -exec file {} \; The -exec is a predicate to cause find to execute a command, in this case, file. The '{}' bit means, "substitute the filename here." When find generates the command, it'll be something like, "file ~/stupidname.ext". The '\;' bit marks the end of the executable command. Then I pipe the output to grep, which prints only the lines containing "PDF".
There are better ways of doing this, especially using a command called xargs, but I don't cotton to those new-fangled methods. Well, I do, but you must first learn to crawl before you can fly on the space shuttle.

Finally, let's use find to delete all our old emacs backup files. WARNING! DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! Be very careful when using find do do file manipulation. Always print out the results of find before executing a dangerous command.
First, do this:
$ find . -name \*~ -print
This prints all the files that end in ~, starting in the current directory. Once you are sure you won't miss these files, do this:
$ find . -name \*~ -exec rm {} \;
That's it! You are now wise in the ways of a couple of minor file utilities. As always, enjoy playing around with them. Be safe. Don't run with scissors, or shave with a rusty razor. Remember that cats have five pointy ends, and that with powerful knowledge comes powerful responsibility. Don't abuse these tools, and they will treat you right until the end of your days.
Although you mention the xargs I would like to give an example for the simplest implementation of the recursive grep
find . -type f|xargs grep -i
Maybe it's the resolution or something else on my computer but I can't seem to make out what the sign in front of each command is. It doesn't look like an "&" or "$". So what is it?
The sign
The '$' ("dollar sign") signifies a standard shell prompt-- that is, the dollar sign is often used by several of the canonical shells to indicate the shell is waiting for input (bash and ksh, for instance).
You don't type it in. It's used in this article to signify the user types in the following line.
Output from various commands is designated by lack of the dollar sign.
I've dimly known about df by using it at work. ("Hey, what's that command again that shows disk usage?") But now will have more occasion to use it on my emerging home GNU/Linux systems. I also think discus is a neat little df "prettifier."
making rm safer
Just a note that a lot of these commands will give you feedback on what they're doing if you ask them for it. For instance,
find . -name \*~ -print | xargs rm -v
will tell which files it's deleting. Just an extra bit of reassurance that you've done the right thing. :)

find ...then do somethig
i use find with the -exec arg:
find . -ctime +10 -exec ls -l {} \;
find from this point (.) the files wich the creation time (.ctime) is more than 10 days (+10) and execute (-exec) a command (ls -l). The argument for this command is pased from find as "{}" . to end the command write and scaped ";" (\;).
in my servers i use this for process a lot of files, in combitation with awk (mmised it in this article) to make batch job files.

Newbie thanks
I've been a Windows user since DOS/3.1, but I'm just now learning the guts of Linux. Practical clues like this make it easier.
Newbie thanks 2
Thanks for a wonderful article,
It will definitely help to make my life in Linux easier.
Specially the find command seems really powerful
find command
how to execute a command as well as printing the args into a file using args and find
tee to the rescue
That's an easy one. Use the "tee" command.
"tee" will copy STDIN to a file, and spit it back to STDOUT. This essentally makes a copy of STDIN into the new file. So, pipe STDIN through "tee" before passing it on to "xargs", like this:
find . -name \*\.c | tee c.list | xargs grep -l sprintf
This would list all the files with the (slightly dangerous) "sprintf" function, while making a copy of all the files checked.
I'm more used to the AIX version than the Linux version for "find". I'll have to try a couple of your other commands (du vs. df) as they seem pretty relevant to our current situation. (AIX guru retired, all the kids are left to play and learn on our own).
On a different note, is this Tony Taylor that used to work / go to school at UAF ?
Yes, it is
Well, I imagine it depends on who you are, but since I went to UAF, I am most likely that very same Tony Taylor.
If you want, contact me at tony (at the following domain) paperdove.org. I'd love to get in contact with old friends from UAF.

So much for that quiet offseason from the A's.
They struck early in their preparations for 2013, trading infielder Cliff Pennington to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday for center fielder Chris Young and cash.
Young, a 2010 All-Star whose numbers have dipped the past two seasons, would seem to be pegged as the A's new center fielder, though general manager Billy Beane didn't get specific on a media conference call.
Beane said he initiated trade talks with Arizona G.M. Kevin Towers on Oct. 12, the day after the A's were eliminated by the Detroit Tigers in the American League Divisional Series.
"This is a really good player, we've admired his talent for a long, long time," Beane said of Young. "When these kinds of players are available at (a reasonable) cost, we think it's necessary to jump all over it."
The A's also sent minor league infielder Yordy Cabrera to the Diamondbacks, who then flipped Cabrera to the Miami Marlins for reliever Heath Bell.
The trade begs the question of what happens to incumbent center fielder Coco Crisp, who is under contract next season at $7 million. The A's didn't acquire Young, a 29-year-old with three 20-homer/20-steal seasons, to sit him on the bench.
Beane, though, sought to squelch trade speculation regarding Crisp, saying he doesn't plan to move any of his five outfielders under team control -- Crisp, Young, Yoenis Cespedes, Josh Reddick or Seth Smith. He said he envisions those five rotating and sharing designated hitter duties.
"I'd encourage everybody to not go the route of, 'Hey, they're moving this guy, they're moving that guy,' " Beane said. "First and foremost, Coco. He's been a personal favorite of mine."
But Beane felt it was necessary to add outfield depth given Cespedes and Crisp both missed significant time with injuries this season. Cespedes played in just 129 games and Crisp 120.
"Everybody knows how good we played when both were in the lineup," Beane said. "Adding this type of player to that equation will help."
Young had 27 homers and 91 RBIs in 2010, but those numbers dropped to an average of 17 and 56 in 2011 and '12. He's a career .239 hitter and has struck out 130-plus times in five of his seven big league seasons.
He also missed time with injuries this season but said he's now 100 percent. And he's happy to be reunited with A's manager Bob Melvin, his first skipper in Arizona.
"It just seems like an exciting team, from watching them on TV," Young said.
Beane said Young's addition "will have an impact" on whether outfielder/DH Jonny Gomes is retained. Gomes -- a clubhouse leader -- hit .262 with 18 homers and 47 RBIs. But now it appears the free agent might be out of the A's plans.
The team's most pressing issue entering the winter is whether to bring back shortstop Stephen Drew, and Pennington's departure underscores that.
Drew and the A's hold a $10 million mutual option for next season, a hefty price tag. The A's could buy out the option at $1.35 million and attempt to negotiate a new deal with Drew, but the veteran (and agent Scott Boras) might prefer to test the free agent market.
Also, Beane said Scott Sizemore will switch from third to second base and compete for the starting job there. Sizemore missed this season with a torn knee ligament. The move validates the A's are confident with Josh Donaldson as their full-time third baseman.

About the Book
Award-winning filmmaker and writer Sophia Al-Maria's The Girl Who Fell to Earth is a funny and wry coming-of-age memoir about growing up in between American and Gulf Arab cultures. With poignancy and humor, Al-Maria shares the struggles of being raised by an American mother and Bedouin father while shuttling between homes in the Pacific Northwest and the Middle East. Part family saga and part personal quest, The Girl Who Fell to Earth traces Al-Maria's journey to make a place for herself in two different worlds.
When Sophia Al-Maria's mother sends her away from rainy Washington State to stay with her husband's desert-dwelling Bedouin family in Qatar, she intends it to be a sort of teenage cultural boot camp. What her mother doesn't know is that there are some things about growing up that are universal. In Qatar, Sophia is faced with a new world she'd only imagined as a child. She sets out to find her freedom, even in the most unlikely of places.
Both family saga and coming-of-age story, The Girl Who Fell to Earth takes readers from the green valleys of the Pacific Northwest to the dunes of the Arabian Gulf and on to the sprawling chaos of Cairo. Struggling to adapt to her nomadic lifestyle, Sophia is haunted by the feeling that she is perpetually in exile: hovering somewhere between two families, two cultures, and two worlds. She must make a place for herself—a complex journey that includes finding young love in the Arabian Gulf, rebellion in Cairo, and, finally, self-discovery in the mountains of Sinai.
The Girl Who Fell to Earth heralds the arrival of an electric new talent and takes us on the most personal of quests: the voyage home.

A resident of the Washington Street Apartments called 9-1-1 Wednesday when she smelled something burning during a power surge. CAL-Fire with Gridley and Biggs Fire Engines responded to the Apartments, while the City's Electric crew repaired a jumper off the primary line which had burned off behind Les Schwab where electric lines are under the highway. The outage lasted less than 45 minutes but caused low voltage in several areas of town, including the apartments. No damage was reported at the Washington Street Apartments.

November 9, 2005
Voters have said yes, but are the plans in place? And if so, what are they? News 12 is on your side with how your tax dollars will create new jail space in South Augusta.
From paper to actual property, a yes vote means more brick and barbed wire are on the way.
"It's a massive puzzle undertaking basically where you've gotta put all these pieces together to see how they float out," said Fred Russell, City Administrator.
Just twenty-four hours after voters approve SPLOST and city officials are already rolling up their sleeves. Among the projects, new jail pods on Phinizy Road. They'll replace these old towers at an overcrowded and leaky LEC.
"Well, it's necessary," said Jack Nattinger, neighbor.
Jack Nattinger lives just down the road and agrees they've got to go some place.
"As far as I know, we've had no problems around here since they built them and since they've been in operation," Nattinger said.
But not all of Jack's neighbors are on the same page.
"They said they'd never build the main headquarters out here on Phinizy Road which would always stay at Walton Way. And now all of a sudden it's gonna become the main command center for the whole Richmond County," said Tony Adkins, neighbor.
But with 52 acres and the resources already there, Russell insists there was no second choice. Expanding the Webster Detention Facility was simply the most cost-efficient.
"We've got plenty of land, we've got security there and those kinds of things. And unfortunately it's one of those things you've got to put somewhere," Russell said.
Leaving some hoping fences really do make good neighbors.
The budget for this project is $36 million. Groundbreaking is expected to take place in May of 2007.


text: If your like me, you try and get any new Fall/Halloween books before October. I personally start down the Halloween path on September First, and typically rotate books in and out every other year. Once I hit October I read all the classics that I never rotate out; Halloween Tree, Something Wicked This Way Comes, A Lonesome Night in October, H.P. Lovecraft, ect. If there's one seasonal book you pick up this year, it's Deadfall Hotel by Steve Rasnic Tem. I caught it out of the corner of my eye earlier this year, and somehow it got unintentionally shelved until September. It was simply amazing; hauntingly beautiful and perfect for the season. Reminiscent of Bradbury and the Addams Family; I've got a feeling that this book will be on my permanent October list. Thus far, this is the first new item I've added to my fall queue. Last year, based on this site's recommendations I added The Wendigo, and The Willows by Algernon Blackwood, and I've got to admit out of all the horror I've read, I never expected two stories from before 1910 would horrify me the most. (I literally could not read The Wendigo at night).

I have attached a PDF for reference.
I currently have:
July 2007 Initial Installation
5 LNB Slimline
HR20-100 (w/ 2 BBC blocks) - family room
H20-100 (w/ 1 BBC block) - master bedroom
I have a gigabit / wireless N home network but I want to standardize the D* stuff so I'll spend the money on the DECA and all that.
In the near future I will add two more HD DVR receivers to my two kids' rooms.
I would like to upgrade to the SWIM and DECA configurations and will upgrade the H20 to an HR24.
I'm still getting my mind around the DECA network. Does DECA transfer packets across the coaxial RG6 cable to other connected DVRs? If it's across coax, I may have a problem.
Problem is my homebuilder connected all the coax cable in series which originate from a main splitter outside.
We had signal strength problems since day one so they finally dropped new cable.
I also have a third cable tv coax to the family room where the modem and router (Motorola Cable Moden / Linksys WRT610N) are housed.
In my pre D* days, Comcast (2003) finally just ran a dedicated line to the den and added a switch to the master bedoom. That way my internet was strong and the splitter didn't harm the signal too bad.
In 2007, my D* installer ran his own (new) cable to the den and master bedroom so I would have a strong signal to the D* receivers.
1. If I buy the $99 changeover package will they also run cable to the kids rooms taking into consideration I will absolutely buy two more DVR's at some point in the next year or two?
2. Will this package allow me to move away from the BBC and re-wire to SWM? (I will upgrade the HR20 is that is the limiting factor).
3. I want DECA to be able to work in all the bedrooms once I get the additional HD DVRs in there. Considering the current CABLE portion of the coaxial configuration of my house, will they rewire my cable it all happen? Will he go ahead and run cable to "empty" rooms?
I think those are all my questions.
Thanks in advance.

OAKLAND -- Mark your calendars (in pencil) East Bay motorists, the long-anticipated fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel has a tentative opening date.
Weather permitting, and depending on successful completion of safety and fire system tests, Caltrans officials say they're "cautiously optimistic" they can open the bore to traffic the weekend of Nov. 16.
"We're very excited at the progress of the project," said Caltrans project spokeswoman Ivy Morrison. "We know motorists will be very excited."
The $417 million project is aimed at easing traffic in off-peak directions for motorists who use the tunnel between Orinda and Oakland, providing two dedicated lanes in each direction at all times. Currently, use of the tunnel's middle bore is based on traffic patterns -- open to westbound drivers in the morning and eastbound commuters in the evening. On weekends, it shifts based on traffic need.
"In the long term it will certainly reduce traffic in the off-peak directions," Morrison said. "There's going to be greater predictability."
Caltrans said the project, which broke ground in January 2010, is on schedule and on budget.
Final preparations for the opening will require a temporary weekend closure of two bores to finish work on lane configurations and striping. Once open, Caltrans expects up to six months of additional work on landscaping and road improvements.

Delcie Light has been married for 53 years to Bill Light. They have three grown children: Christiane is a V.P. at Universal-NBC in California, Bill is an attorney in Manhattan Beach CA, and Jim lives in Devils Lake and owns and operates Computer Clinic. The Light's enjoy 8 grandchildren.
Delcie earned a B.S. from NDSU and a M.S. from UND. She has taught people from 3-73, but mostly teenagers for 25 years at DLHS.
She enjoys family (including a dog and two cats), home, flowers, watching kids and critters, travel, living in North Dakota with 4 seasons, reading, writing, researching (the wonders of a computer!), and genealogy.
As we entered an entryway to a local business, I noticed a man down on one knee, stroking an obviously frightened young dog. The brown and black dog's body language, ears laid back, tail between his legs, eyebrows questioning, sent all the information we needed to know this fellow was confused and afraid. The man stroked and scratched this dog, and the dog leaned into him. Another man kept advising, "Take him home. The guy dumped him! He's a nice dog. Take him."
Some employees came out to see what was happening. One said she would call the animal control.
That seemed to push the decision.
A couple more scratches behind the ears, and a pat, and the good man picked up the trembling dog and headed for his car. A lucky day for an abandoned dog.
What would motivate someone to dump a dog? Especially on one of those well below zero days? Was it the cost of food and veterinary care? Did the dumper struggle with the decision? Is he an uncaring, cruel person? We will never know if he hoped that dumping the dog at a busy store was the best he choice he had, and hoped the result would be as it was---a kind person took the dog home.
As the man carried the dog to his car, the dog licked his cheek.
I can not help but wonder about all the children who also need help through no fault of their own. I was recently informed that there are nearly 400 homeless children in Bismarck! In this prosperous time in North Dakota, allowing children to be homeless or hungry is a Sin. Where are the kindly people who will help the homeless children, the children who are hungry, the children who are abused, unloved, and unwanted? When the next election comes around, remember those legislators who voted against free milk for poor pre-schoolers.

Topic: The percentages and hope
Yesterday, I had a discussion with a nurse about my incisions healing slowly and then the conversation turned to this awful cancer and the even more awful percentages of it returning after having curative intent surgery, even with good margin and no lymph node involvement or spread beyond the liver. I thought OUR stats are bad, until she shared with me that when she was 7 years old (50 years ago )she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The doctors at the university hospital told her parents she had a 5% chance of surviving. She had surgery to remove the one kidney and apparently had chemo, though she said she doesn't remember having chemo and no one ever mentioned it, until a later doctor mentioned it to her. The point is.....she had a 95% chance of dying....and not only didn't she die, but she thrived and grew up to be an awesome nurse. Yes, her bout with cancer spurred her to become a nurse. We don't know why some people survive and others don't yet.....but the fact is that someone has to be in that small, but good , percentage that survive with out recurrence. We, myself included, often tend to dwell on the negative percentages, and as pessimistic as they are, it's so hard to have hope. But, in order to make the most of each day we have left, to enjoy our lives , whether one day, one week, one year or years, we have to maintain hope for the future. I've been trying to shift my thinking, and some days I'm just not successful, but I'm trying.

Sortable Chart: EPA Climate Rule, By the States
President Barack Obama's new climate rule, unveiled Monday, relies on a complex set of numbers and formulas to arrive at what appears to be a relatively straightforward goal: Cut carbon emissions from the nation's power plants 30% by 2030 based on emissions levels from 2005.
That's the headline goal, but the standard actually itself doesn't use emissions data from 2005 at all. Instead, the Environmental Protection Agency uses data from 2012 to set different standards for each state based on what it thinks each state can achieve by 2030, taking into account several factors including the energy mixes in the region and how much of its electricity each state can shift from coal to natural gas, a fossil fuel that burns half as much carbon dioxide than coal.
Currently, coal currently provides 40% of the nation's electricity. The utility sector accounts for about one-third of the U.S.'s total carbon emissions, the EPA says, and most of that comes from coal.
Here's what you need to know about this sortable chart: Emissions is the total amount of carbon emissions, measured by weight, generated by utilities in a state in producing the energy output, measured in terawatt-hours. The higher the emission rate, the more emissions a state produces relative to its energy output. The two sets of emission standards—2012 and 2013—represent how much carbon dioxide, measured in pounds, is emitted per megawatt-hour of electricity. The percent reduction shows how much a state must cut its carbon emissions by 2030, though sometimes this can be misleading. The percent of coal-fired electricity in each state is a key factor in how hard a standard will be for a state, even if its percent reduction figure is relatively small.
"If you have a state that's heavy on coal production, you're probably going to ultimately have a greater reduction in carbon emissions from that state, but the emissions standard will be lower," said Jonathan Dorn, an associate at Abt Associates, a research firm that worked with EPA officials to compile the emissions data.
For instance, Kentucky only needs to cut its carbon emissions 18%, compared with Washington state's 72% reduction requirement. But coal provides 93% of Kentucky's electricity and just 6% of Washington's. The one coal plant in the Evergreen State is already scheduled to retire by 2025.
"Kentucky will be hit a lot harder than Washington," Mr. Dorn said. "Obviously with these standards coming into place, it will make coal-fired electricity more expensive."

With all the media attention they've been getting lately, it's safe to say that "blerds" -- black nerds -- are now officially a thing.
Since Eric Deggans' 2012 NPR story, "Move Over Urkel, There Are New 'Blerds' Around," the Internet has been ablaze with blerdness: What is a blerd? No, seriously, what is it? How do you date one?
Yes, blerds are having the best year ever, but they are nothing new. The blerd was not invented with the NPR story. It didn't take its first breath when Donald Glover began his campaign to be the first black Spider-Man. It didn't materialize the first time Steve walked through the Winslows' door. Though the portmanteau is fresh and faddy, the blerd is as old as black folk are beautiful.
We all know the story of America's inception: The British were like, "I say, do what we tell you, won't you, old chap?" and then America was like, "Nah, bruh. We're not calling cookies 'biscuits' anymore." And the British were all, "Oh, bother. I fear we shall have to thrash you." And Americans were like, "LOL, nope," and then they won their freedom in the dawn's early light. Also, slavery happened. It was with the transport of those unfortunate first slaves that the first blerd seeds were planted. These blerds were innovators -- among the first to do what they did.
This Black History Month, we thought we'd celebrate by taking a look at the blerd through history.
- - -
Crispus Attucks
Remember Crispus Attucks? Total blerd. What you know is that Attucks was the first person killed in the Boston Massacre in 1777. What you don't know is that, while he was there to protest British impositions, he was also there to demand that more black people be added to the cast of "Star Trek."
Lucas Santomee
But seriously, folks. Lesser-known blerds who lived in the dawn of American history include Lucas Santomee, a widely known physician in the 1660s in what is now New York City. In true blerd fashion, the Holland-trained healer was also known for his love of medical puns. Among his favorites: "Did you hear about the doctor who was drinking while setting a cast? He got plastered!" Oh, Lucas. You so crazy.
Lucy Terry Prince
Then there was Lucy Terry Prince (1730-1821), author of the oldest known work of literature penned by an African-American (the poem "Bar Fight"). Her love of reading and writing is enough to get her into the blerd club, but what's more, she was smart as a whip and loved to debate. In the 1790s she successfully argued down white people in court all the time and made a very eloquent entreaty to the Williams College board of trustees for her son's admission, though she was denied (because of racism). If she went to high school with you, she totally would have taken your debate team to state.
Ellen Craft
Perhaps my favorite pre-1900s blerd is Ellen Craft. Born in 1826, Ellen was a slave from Georgia, who, because of her light skin and mixed race, made a very convincing white man when she cut her hair and donned a top hat and men's clothes. She escaped to freedom in this disguise with her husband in tow, posing as her slave. The getup is slightly reminiscent of the woodsman who saves the day in "Little Red Riding Hood." See where I'm going with this? Ellen was basically the first black cosplayer. My friends, nothing is blerdier than being a black cosplayer.

Wegmans employees and eligible spouses who want to quit smoking will be able to participate in a new program announced Friday. Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. and Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) have joined forces to offer the employees QuitClub, a stop-smoking program that will give participants access to the specialized services of RPCI's tobacco cessation program.
The services include telephone counseling provided by trained Quit Coaches, stop smoking medications, a customized website offering interactive and informational quit tools, and in-store support to help smokers quit for good, according to a press release from Wegmans and RPCI. Wegmans will pay the entire cost of the program; employees can join free.
In 2008, Wegmans stopped selling cigarettes and other tobacco products. Wegmans also established an initial tobacco cessation program for its employees.
"This unique collaboration with Roswell Park will take our efforts to a new level and help our employees access the best resources and services available," stated Becky Lyons, Wegmans director of benefits and wellness. "Quitting smoking is difficult, so it's very important that we provide the best tools to help them succeed."

Two former Greenbrier athletes are free this afternoon.
Shadrick Harris and Reggie Rice were charged last year on multiple sex charges stemming from a party.
News 12's Stephanie Baker is live in the newsroom with why cases like this should be a wakeup call.
The district attorney's office and Juvenile Court are stepping up their efforts to educate kids and parents. After today, Shad and Reggie understand that breaking the law means facing the music.
In the final hearing of the case, all five teenagers involved got their punishment from Judge Douglas Flanagan.
"Even when people have consensual relations, it can lead to problems. You have to be more careful," says Judge Douglas Flanagan.
That's his message for Shad, Reggie, and their families. Shad was indicted months ago on aggravated sex charges and for giving alcohol to minors. Attorneys agreed to the plea deal, accepting the lesser charge of sexual battery.
Reggie Rice was indicted on similar charges, plus one of rape. Thanks to a plea agreement, he faces a lesser charge of statutory rape.
A victory for defense attorney Jacque Hawk.
"Under all the circumstances, I'm glad everybody came together, sat down, and talked," says Hawk.
The boys' reverend, Larry Fryer, thinks their mandatory Sex Ed. classes and community service is fair.
"I hope all families involved learned a lesson that morals in society today are very important," says Reverend Fryer.
That's District Attorney Danny Craig's message in the schools. Last night at Riverside was his eighth presentation in a year.
"Sometimes consequences have lifetime effects," Craig says.
The judge agrees...so he started an abstinence campaign in Columbia County schools.
"The current trend...we're seeing more and more cases statewide," says Flanagan.
The boys left for the final time with 18 months probation for Shad and 24 for Reggie. Judge Flanagan hopes education will prevent stories like this in the future.
"When you do adult actions, they have adult consequences," Flanagan says.
There are four other minors in the case: three girls and one boy.
Those cases are closed, but the judge tells 12 they face charges ranging from fornication to sexual battery.
The school board says they are willing to review each boy's case if either wants to come back to Greenbrier.
