My lower back has been killing me the past month. I am training for the NYC marathon but have not been doing a ton of mileage (less than in previous years). My back is so stiff I can barely bend over and when I do straightening up hurts. I suppose I should see a chiropractor but does anyone have any home remedies I can try? Heat? Should I get some kind of support to wear during the day? Thanks!
Take a look at One Size Does Not Fit All - Low Back Pain, and Low Back Pain Rotation & Side Bending of the Spine. In my experience low back pain is NOT a running injury it is a SITTING injury. Take a look at Pain in the Buttocks. When it comes to most acute low back pain recognized guidlines are to encouraged walking, and minimizing sitting. Go for long walks. When you must sit sit well.

Thanks, never thought of that! I have terrible posture when I sit. My lower back is constantly sore too, I just assumed it was from all the miles Im clocking training for a marathon next month. I have my youngest daughter walk on peridocially to help loosen it up. Il start sitting better and see what happens.

I so completely agree with Damien's post, that I will go on to say that the chair is one of the worst inventions of all time.. despite the fact that I'm sitting in one right now as I write this, lol. The chair so pervades our modern lifestyles that many of us have no idea what a healthy back feels like. In contrast, I remember that during what was probably the fittest period of my life, I worked a job where I stood for 12 or more hours a day, and went home to cook and eat my dinner standing as well. Often chained to a desk, I miss those days.. but I digress.
The only thing I would add to the dialog so far, is that there are a number of muscular interactions I encounter in my line of work which are of particular interest to runners experiencing lower back pain. I'm speaking of "pain referral'" in which the actions or tonic state of a particular muscle manifest as pain somewhere else on the body in a way one might not expect. Two areas of concern I will mention briefly are the hip flexors (Iliopsoas) that bring your thigh forward and upward, and the rear muscles of the calf (Soleus, Gastrocnemius) that plantarflex the foot. Both of these muscle groups are of the "tonic" type that tend to tighten and shorten with overuse (such as marathon training), and both by unhappy coincidence remain in a contracted state while we are sitting.
Many amateur athletes spend a lot of time behind a desk or behind the wheel of a car. We further insult our tired and overworked muscles by spending even more of their recovery time behind a table, behind a home computer, or on the couch behind a remote control, then we retire to sleep in the fetal position. During all these times the muscles are "growing" even shorter, revealing their tightness when we attempt to stand, stretch, or assume a better posture. To make matters worse, these muscles are often opposed by "phasic" muscles that tend to weaken with overuse, leading to further imbalance and postural errors in a vicious cycle of dysfunction that becomes most obvious in the athletic and the aged.
All of this is entirely unnecessary, as can be seen in aboriginal peoples who do not use chairs, and who maintain limber erect physiques into old age. Even though such peoples are often capable of amazing feats of physical endurance, they tend not to hold themselves to rigid training schedules and deadlines for major sporting events like marathons, which beat our poor muscles into submission. Despite the obvious virtues and benefits of a life lived in moderation, we are nevertheless doomed to our contemporary lifestyles of relative over and underuse and it often shows when we attempt to stand straight upon rising.
With particular regard to the hip flexor Iliopsoas, it joins the femur to the pelvis and lumbar spine. This means that the shortened muscle, when stretched to its "normal" length while standing, compresses the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints, potentially affecting all other structures, nerves and muscles related thereto. I'll rest my case for that muscle, only adding a short video below.
When it comes to the Soleus muscle in the calf, at the lower (distal) portion lateral to the Achilles tendon, there is a spot a few inches above the heel that in many persons can "refer" pain to the lower back, particularly the sacrum. While the Soleus is another "tonic" muscle that shortens with overuse such as hill training and speedwork, it should be noted that there is often a hyperactive component even to "phasic" muscles that appear weak. That is to say that even though tonic muscles tend to shorten with overuse, the often opposite phasic muscles may weaken due to the same kind of stress. The stress I'm referring to has a strong tendency to manifest as small mini-spasms or knots in the muscle (often called trigger points) that can produce these opposite results of general tonicity depending on the type or portion of muscle in which they occur. So while a tonic muscle shortens with exercise and is frequently "stretched" to compensate for this, a phasic muscle weakens with exercise and is frequently (and ironically) exercised more in an effort to strengthen it. In either case the solution is the same for the trigger points, but opposite for the follow-up stretches.
Stretching a tonic muscle like the Psoas or Soleus can be a valuable part of rehab, but only after the trigger points in the muscle are released. Stretching or exercising an active trigger point risks making it worse, further tightening the muscle. Stretching a phasic muscle is generally a waste of time, since it loosens with use, but a follow-up stretch to any muscle can be beneficial after trigger point release. I define a potentially beneficial stretch as one done with minimal props or assistance, preferably by using the opposing muscle alone to perform the stretch. An example would be to dorsiflex the foot, using phasic muscle Tibialis Anterior, as a way to stretch the Soleus - without overstretching it. This makes use of Sherrington's Law of Reciprocal Innervation, which states how a skeletal muscle is automatically released from conscious contraction when its opposing (antagonist) muscle is flexed. This is also common sense, although not so common among athletes, lol.
Here is a video highlighting important sections of the Soleus muscle to be aware of...
Another short video showing a cyclist creatively working a point farther up from where you may need to work..
Some anatomical background video showing how important the Psoas muscle is to lower back pain..
In order of difficulty, a final link showing techniques for release of a shortened Iliopsoas muscle..
Low back pain rarely has anything to do with the low back (previous posts support this notion). Heat, ice, NSAID's, and low back stretches are simply band-aids and only cure the symptoms, not the cause. I recommend seeing a Physical Therapist who specializes in functional assessments - common culprits for low back pain include: tight calves, tight hip flexors (from sitting - as discussed), and/or tight thoracic spine (which can also be from sitting).
My suggestion - start with stretching your hip flexors. Here's a post I wrote a few months ago on hip flexor and hamstring stretching: http://community.active.com/blogs/rusportsperformance/2009/09/17/tight-hip-flexors-and-hamstrings

My chiro has said my low back pain was due to tight hip flexors.
Although you may not feel your hip flexors as tightened... they probably are(especially if you sit often)
Try some yoga postures to help open up the low back and stretch the hip flexors.
http://http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/588 (interesting article on hip flexors/low back issues)
http://http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/finder/anatomical_focus/lower_back (poses for lower back)
Try an epsom salt bath too!
Helps to relax muscles naturally.
Steer clear of pain relievers(Tylenol, Advil, Etc.)
they will just mess up your body chemistry & stomach.
Good Luck!

Kimberley Haas email@example.com">
DOVER — One of two women charged with helping Aaron Desjardins in the killing of Amanda "Amy" Warf last March will be relying on the defenses of duress and renunciation to avoid criminal liability during her upcoming trial.
Sarah Desjardins, 35, of 5b Paxton Terrace in Nashua, was indicted on charges of accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension by a grand jury at Rockingham County Superior Court in October.
Last month, her retained attorney, Emily McLaughlin, submitted a notice of defenses to the court. The document provides few details about what evidence McLaughlin plans to use to support the defense claims.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court has not specifically held that duress exists as a defense in the state. Duress excuses criminal conduct and requires that the accused show the illegal actions had to be done in order to avoid a threat. Typically, the threat is of imminent death or serious bodily injury, McLaughlin wrote.
Renunciation is an affirmative defense under New Hampshire law. It is available for all conspiracy crimes. A person renounces a conspiracy if they notify the police of the conspiracy and its participants or when they engage in conduct designed to prevent the commission of the agreed upon crime, McLaughlin wrote.
Sarah told police about the murder plot her husband, Aaron, 37, of 67 Railroad Ave., Epping, had concocted as soon as she was separated from him and his sister, Michele Corson, 44, of 373 Water St. in Skowhegan, Maine. Her admissions are what led to Aaron's and Corson's arrests, McLaughlin wrote.
Prosecutors allege Aaron kidnapped Warf, his ex-wife, at gunpoint and drove her from Epping to Exeter before slashing her throat and trying to incinerate her body in an abandoned City Concrete Company plant. He has been charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension.
Aaron plans to use the defense of insanity at his jury trial, which is scheduled for May 4, 2015.
Corson was indicted on the same charges as Sarah. She is scheduled to have a jury trial Nov. 3, 2014.
Sarah will be tried by a jury on Feb. 2, 2015.

Older Women
With women in the US living longer and postponing retirement, whether out of necessity or by choice, many face economic hardship and discrimination. Although illegal in theory, older women may, in practice, be excluded from job or promotional opportunities based on misconceptions about their abilities or customer preferences for youth. Dual discrimination on the job is evidenced by older women being denied access to training programs and being channeled into positions without upward mobility. Retirement benefits are being further eroded by a weakening of organized labor, economic restructuring and budget cutbacks.

Twitter's IPO: What You Need to Know
Twitter Inc. priced its initial public offering Wednesday at $26 a share, launching its highly anticipated debut as a public company.
So far, it's found a market with open arms, raising its range during the roadshow and then pricing above that range.
Here are some key facts from Twitter's IPO filings that will investors may want to refresh on.
Shares: The company is selling 70 million shares in the offering and underwriters have the option, should demand warrant it, to buy 10.5 million more and sell them to the public. Assuming the extra amount is sold, Twitter's IPO would raise about $2.1 billion, the third biggest U.S. deal of the year and the second-biggest U.S. Internet IPO of all time. (Trailing only Facebook.)
Market cap: Assuming all 80.5 million shares are sold, Twitter's outstanding shares will be 554.7 million. That will give it a basic market capitalization of about $14.4 billion as of the IPO price. (Some use a share count that takes into account restricted-stock awards. At that level, Twitter will be worth about $18.3 billion.)
Ticker: TWTR. And don't confuse it with the bankrupt electronics store Tweeter Inc., which formerly held that ticker. Again, Twitter won't be available to buy on an exchange until Thursday. It will trade on NYSE.
Who is selling: Twitter the company is selling all the shares in the offering and says the $2.1 billion will be put to general corporate uses. No current shareholders of Twitter are selling stock. Those insiders hold about 51.4% of the shares.
Biggest holders: The biggest holders, their percentages and the value at the IPO price: Rizvi Traverse, 15.6%, $2.2 billion; Evan Williams, 10.4%, $1.5 billion; J.P. Morgan, 9%, $1.3 billion; Spark Capital, 6%, $843 million; Benchmark Capital, 5.8%, $821 million; Union Square Ventures, 5.1%, $724 million; DST Global, 4.4%, $617 million; Jack Dorsey, 4.3%, $610 million; Richard Costolo, 1.4%, $200 million.
Lock-ups: The shares held by insiders are restricted from selling for a period after the IPO. According to the filing, up to 9.9 million shares held by employees who aren't executives will be eligible for sale as early as Feb. 15. The shares held by executives and insiders are restricted for 180 days from Wednesday's pricing.
Users: Twitter has 231.7 million monthly-active users at the end of September, up 39% from the prior year. The breakdown includes 23% of users in the U.S. and 77% across the rest of the globe. These users tweet about 500 million times a day in aggregate.
Mobile Use: The key metric shows that 76% of Twitter's users accessed the service on a mobile device in the third quarter, up from 69% during the third quarter a year earlier.
Revenue: Twitter's revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was $422.2 million, double from the first nine months of 2012. The company gets 89% of that revenue from advertising and 11% of it from data licensing to the ecosystem built off of Twitter's massive store of user data and stream-of-consciousness.
Mobile Revenue: Twitter said that over 70% of its advertising revenue in the third quarter came from mobile devices, showing it can make money off of the growing turn to mobile.
International revenue: Despite more than 77% of its users being international, Twitter made only 25% of its revenue outside the U.S. Twitter says it charges $2.58 per "timeline view" for an ad in the U.S. and only 36 cents per view outside the U.S.
Bottom Line: Losses pile up as far as one can see for Twitter. The company's loss in the first nine months of 2013 nearly doubled to $133.9 million. Since the start of 2010, Twitter has lost nearly $409 million, 47% of the revenue it has brought in during that time.
UPDATE: This post has been updated throughout to reflect Twitter's priced the IPO. Also, about 77% of Twitter's users are international and 23% are based in the U.S. An earlier version of this post had the incorrect percentages for international and U.S.

ALAMO -- Property owners who have built fences, bridges and other structures along the Iron Horse Trail have county officials worried about a high-pressure jet fuel petroleum pipeline that runs under the trail corridor.
"We realized that we had a number of encroachments," said Carrie Ricci, Contra Costa's manager for the Iron Horse Corridor. "It's a safety concern for the county." Representatives from the Contra Costa County Public Works Department and Kinder Morgan will discuss the problem and potential safety issues at 6 p.m. Tuesday during an Alamo Municipal Advisory Committee meeting.
The trail corridor is owned by the county and is known for its popular paved trail that runs from Concord to Pleasanton. It is also a route used by a number of utilities for fiber optic cables, sewer and waterlines, as well as for a Kinder Morgan high-pressure pipeline that carries gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from Concord to the Mineta San Jose International Airport.
In Alamo, yellow warning signs and small yellow flags run parallel to backyard fences along the corridor marking the pipeline's location.
In 2004, the same pipeline exploded in Walnut Creek after being punctured by a backhoe. The explosion killed five workers, injured four others and resulted in Kinder Morgan paying tens of millions of dollars in fines and restitution to victims and their families.
County and Kinder Morgan officials have found fencing, retaining walls, bridges, stairs, pavers, landscaping, drainage and other structures encroaching into the Iron Horse Corridor and into the Kinder Morgan easement. Fence posts have been found within inches of the high-pressure pipeline.
"The county's main concern is working with property owners that are in the Kinder Morgan pipeline easement," Ricci said. "Property owners that are encroaching in the Kinder Morgan easement will be required to remove the encroachment."
Ricci said encroachments not in the Kinder Morgan easement may be allowed to remain on a case-by-case basis. Those property owners may be required to sign a license agreement, pay an annual charge and provide insurance for use of county property.
Items such as bridges, steps, steppingstones, pavers and other types of structures will not be allowed under any circumstances, according to a Contra Costa County Public Works fact sheet.
Kinder Morgan spokeswoman Emily Mir said the company is committed to public safety, protection of the environment and the safe operation of all its assets. She said third-party hits are the biggest threats to pipelines and that educating the public to their locations is important to prevent accidental hits.
The meeting will be held at the Alamo Chamber of Commerce office, 120 B Alamo Plaza.

FREMONT -- When the creators of the new Ardenwood Elementary School garden started work on it last fall, they had a "build-it-and-they-will-come" vision.
They wanted to attract local birds and insects, and they did. What they didn't expect were the many¿ students, parents and community volunteers who flocked to the north Fremont campus to help nurse the fledgling garden to maturity.
"The synergy for how different people came together for this garden is amazing," said Paula Rugg, the K-6 school's principal
The 1,500-square-foot garden, which broke ground in October and opened last week, was the brainchild of fourth-grade teacher Jerry Loisel and Tia Glagolev, a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ranger at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Fremont.
At Glagolev's urging, the school planted vegetation and flowers native to the Bay Area. The garden now boasts the California poppy, fuchsia, toyon, primrose, yarrow and many other plants, Loisel said.
They planned for the garden to sit on the Pacific Flyway, a natural migratory path for birds that stretches from Alaska to the southernmost tip of South America. Now, countless types of birds, including hummingbirds, different kinds of sparrows and yellow warblers make the garden their temporary home, feasting on native plants while taking a break on their long seasonal journeys, Loisel said.
"This is one way we can help animals here in our community, and we can make the kids aware of that," he said.
Loisel leads Ardenwood's Go Green Club, a squad of students who help tend the garden.
Cathy Bloom-Gregory, Ardenwood's sixth-grade instructor, said some of her students have started experimenting. They've begun studying the garden's moisture content, for example, by comparing its soil now to when it was just a forlorn patch of weeds six months ago. They're learning other lessons, too, such as the value of teamwork and sweat.
"Hard work sometimes is required to help your school," Bloom-Gregory said. "That has to be taught -- kids just don't naturally do that."
Loisel said he was amazed by the outpouring of community help. About $5,000 in resources was donated. Bloom-Gregory's husband, Jerry Gregory, rototilled the site. The Ardenwood PTA started a compost program and donated mulch and picnic tables. StopWaste.Org donated money and gardening materials to the school, Loisel said.
Allana Chin, a sixth-grade student and member of the school's Go Green Club, said it was a "really big day" when the garden officially opened last week.
"There used to be nothing here a couple of years ago, and now it's kind of a rest stop for birds going from where it's cold to where it's warm," said Allana, 12. "We want our school to be environmentally friendly."

my printing problems persist, unfortunately. I have a 24" printer (HP DesignJet 430) and the paper sizes I need are usually something between 1,50m and 2,00m lengthwise. Right now, I am resorting to Windows programs to do this.
Printing to the printer will print only an A4 size part of the file. Exporting to pdf gives me a rather large file with a square (!) bounding box and nothing inside. So I have no way out of this right now. I had hoped the new release would fix it because a) the associated Qt bugs may have been fixed or b) there might be a workaround now in Qt.
The preview window looks ok apart from the fact that the landscape/portrait checkbox from Edit->Application Preferences seems to get ignored.
Any ideas? QCad is such a great program, but I do need to print my files, too (which is a pain with both AXCAD and Autodesk, but somehow works, at least).

Great apartment, good location, friendly owner. Will definitely be staying again!
The apartment looks nice and nice. It is located right in the center and everything is within walking distance. Opposite the apartment is a nightclub and that gives night noise. But if all doors close properly do, you hardly bother. Furthermore, the price / quality ratio just fine!
Het appartement ziet er mooi en leuk uit. Het ligt midden in het centrum en alles is op loopafstand te bereiken. Tegenover het appartement zit een nachtclub en dat geeft 's nachts geluidsoverlast. Maar als je alle deuren goed dicht doet, heb je er nauwelijks last van. Verder is de prijs- /kwaliteit verhouding prima in orde!
the stay was good gelegen.een renovation of the apartment would benefit komen.de sheets were torn and worn.
het verblijf was goed gelegen.een renovatie van het appartement zou het ten goede komen.de lakens waren gescheurd en versleten.
Small but clean apartment, great location to explore the city. Bathroom could use a minor refurbishment, but was ok.
Apartment equipped neat, clean and sufficient for a city break.
Wohnung ordentlich, sauber und ausreichend für einen Stadturlaub ausgestattet.
The apartment is cozy and well equipped, in a great location for two people is fine. The bathroom is small, but there is a need.
L'appartamento è accogliente e ben attrezzato, in ottima posizione, per due persone va benissimo. Il bagno è piccolo, ma c'è il necessario.
The Apartment is in a excellent location, right in the middle of the gay area but this meant plenty of bars and restaurants in walking distance as well as being close to Gran Via and the shopping areas. The apartment itself is clean and modern and you could easily live there as if it was your own place.
A couple of minor negatives were that although the location was excellent, its close proximity to the bars meant there was a fair amount of talking, shouting etc from drunk people walking to and from the bars and this went on until 5am on both Friday and Saturday nights.
The other negative was that we got charged 58 euros on top of what we paid already to stay in the apartment - 28 euros for cleaning which Elisa discounted from 40 euros and also an additional 30 euros because we arrived after 8 pm. These prices are stated to be fair but i overlooked the 30 euro late check in charge so that is my own fault! Just bear in mind you can pay in theory for an extra night with these add ons. I would have done the cleaning rather than pay the 28 euros as all the stuff was there! Bit of a rip off!
Look around and you should be able to find somewhere that does a better deal than this, I think that what I will be doing.
Very good place to stay in Madrid for a couple or two good friends. Small but cute apartment with everything you need for a short stay. The apartment is situated in a nice area of Madrid so that you can explore the city center by foot. We would definitely like to come back!
a small, well organized flat
Elisa was helpful and attentive from the start. We had not a single problem. The apartment was very clean and everything worked perfectly (wi-fi). Highly recommended.

STOCKTON - Detectives from the Stockton Police Department are investigating the city's first homicide in more than three weeks after a man was gunned down early Thursday at Motel 6 on Plymouth Road, just north of Benjamin Holt Drive, police reported.
The victim, identified as Albert Wright, 30, of Fairfield, was on parole for forgery. It is unknown at this time why he was in Stockton or whether he was a registered guest at the motel, according to Stockton police spokesman Officer Joe Silva.
Officers responded to a report of a person shot at 12:49 a.m. Thursday and discovered Wright lying in the motel parking lot suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries, police reported.
Homicide detectives were called to take over the investigation and were conducting interviews later Thursday. They did not provide a motive for the slaying nor any suspect information.
A motel spokeswoman referred questions to a corporate spokesperson with Accor North America in Texas who did not respond to an inquiry.

There is what's left of Rock-a-Hoola waterpark about 20 miles east of Barstow, Calif., in the heart of the Mojave Desert. The remnants are substantial, if not in substance than in the sheer mass of the dream that failed or, perhaps more accurately, the nightmare that succeeded.
The gigantic parking lot would be overgrown with weeds if only there were enough moisture in this part of the world to support them. Instead, there are only cracks blown in with sand. You can see the ticket booths, several kiosks lined up to accommodate the thousands of visitors who were supposed to stop here regularly on their ways to or from Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
The slides themselves look enticing, even without the glimmer of water making them look slippery fast. They are landscaped into the sides of an artificial mountain that was built for effect. There are many other buildings on the grounds. Now decorated with graffiti, you have to guess which ones were for snacks and refreshments and which ones for souvenirs of the experience. My guess is that it would take an hour to walk all the way around the grounds and check out your options, though.
Apparently the park opened sometime in the 1950s and operated tenuously through the 1980s until it was sued over an accident that occurred there and ensuing bankruptcy proceedings shuttered the place. Somebody else decided to take a shot at owning it and ran it for a few years in the 1990s until the rays of hope revealed themselves to be glare from the scorching desert sun reflecting off a heap of junk at the turn of the millennium. It's been ghost amusement since.
Normally, failures of this scale don't stay around long. For starters, they are an embarrassment, and whoever is responsible hopes to destroy the evidence as quickly as possible. After learning what is not the highest and best use of the property, you have to destroy the evidence. It's rule No. 1 for developers.
My guess, though, is that the old waterpark is going to be there forever, meaning for the amount of time it takes the hot desert wind to wear down the concrete walls and the dry air to oxidize all the steel. Who is going to go in there and spend money to have it torn down and hauled away? My bet is that the owners spent their last dime trying to get it to work. I doubt the thing is an environmental hazard. It's been there for so long that any endangered species in the area probably have taken up home in it. It might be an eyesore anywhere else, but here it's the most interesting thing to look at in a hundred miles.
What's most haunting about the waterpark in the middle of nowhere is that you know that at one time it was somebody's big idea. You don't spend the kind of money they did on a project that massive without being pretty darn cock-fire sure it's going to be a big success. You'd love to see the numbers they crunched and the studies they relied on. They must have had a Plan B and C. You know it would be funny to have a look at them, seeing how things turned out.
What happened? If you asked the developers, they'd probably say something like the thing was all ready to be a huge success, but they didn't get the approval to build an adjacent luxury hotel or it was legislatively scaled down to less than what it needed to achieve its "critical mass." I'd say if they didn't get those approvals, somebody saved them from losing even more on the deal. Maybe it was something as simple as their water rights drying up. Whatever it was, I'm sure they'd say it was "unforeseeable."
It seems like, if you go all in on a project like the Rock-a-Hoola waterpark, you don't give yourself much chance for salvaging anything if the improbable happens and the project goes toes up altogether. Some messes are so big, you can't clean them up. It's easy to say now, but they should have started with a gas station and a fast-food joint with a play park for the kids rather than trying to compete with Disneyland. They built the wrong kind of oasis. It's hard to say, though. Maybe that waterpark was thought up before they had 7-Eleven and McDonald's. Nobody can know what the real geniuses of grand developments have in mind. We can only judge the results.
Roger Marolt wonders if someone is going to buy Rock-a-Hoola for pennies on the dollar, turn it into something great and resurrect Barstow. Contact him at email@example.com.

Coal future a concern to all
July 15, 2013
Very few Americans really care much what happens to a coal miner's family in West Virginia or Ohi....
denver do you work for the government? Electricity prices WILL rise it's basic economics and Obama's stated goal. If you work in the private sector and your boss pays an electric bill the cost of producing anything in the U.S. will go up. Businesses will shut down or move to China and India where a new coal fired power plant goes on line every week. Not to worry though, I'm sure China and India have strict environmental regualations just like we do.

If you don't know how much longer there is a viable supply of coal, why would you want to cease using it without a replacement?
Surely you know renewables are not a viable option to replace coal?

littly buddy who said anything about being opposed to coal, other than you?
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I cannot answer how long we will still have coal to be utilized by a planet that is undergoing exponential population growth. However, the demand of the rapid population growth for coal will diminish the supply. You know what happens when demand exceeds supply in all commodities. Price for that commodity increases until the supply and demand curve levels out due to an increase of the commodity to satisfy the demand. However, one cannot increase a natural resource for consumption.

With between 112 and 147 years of PROVEN coal reserves left as of 2011, we may have more than a short time frame to actually come up with a viable replacement for coal. A prudent plan would, should, and could still use coal as a cheap source of energy along with Natgas and nuclear. Natgas production of electricity has decreased in the past year when it's price went up and the use of coal produced energy has increased. Capitalism at it's best. To regulate the use of coal out of the equation is not the best option at this time.

How long until coal is depleted?

Coal, which by the way, is currently the most viable source of energy, will eventually be depleted!!! No one, not even God or politicians can replenish what is being rapidly used by the 10 billion + populated planet. What is the best option to replace this rapidly depleting energy resource?

Another question or two to those so opposed to coal. Suttle claims part of the demise of Appalachian Coal is the "Coal out west is cheaper to mine and the western coal burns cleaner." I'm curious, don't you think the regulations the EPA puts in place that many fear will decimate the Appalachian Coal industry apply to coal mined in the Powder River Basin?
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Yes Suttle, well said. You have hit on a few of the external reasons for coals decline from supplying more than half our energy to the current ~42%.
Perhaps now you can explain what will replace coal as a cost efficient source of the current movement against coal continues.
Specifically, what will replace the bituminous coal produced in the east needed for its high Btu's? And what happens to natural gas when the current environmental challenges catch up to that fuel source?
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Well said "Suttle"
6 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Capitalism has more to do with the decline of coal mining in West Virginia than President Obama's policies. Natural gas drilled here locally and the coal that is mined out west are more to blame for the closing of our coal mines for the following reasons: 1) Coal out west is cheaper to mine and the western coal burns cleaner. 2) Natural gas will be cheaper to fire electric generating plants than coal, while at the same time natural gas will be better for our environment.
The demise of coal mining in Appalachia is caused by economics. Mike Myers knows this, but still chooses to pursue the false lie blaming President Obama.

If anybody really thinks the reason Mike Myer wrote this article is because he cares what happens to Coal Miner's and their family's in West Virginia, and household electric bills going up, I got some Ocean front property in Wood County Id like to sale!

Numbers do not lie. I posted many of them on another thread a week or so ago and the response I got was lies, spin, mistruths and outright lunacy. Renewable energy sources CAN NOT replace coal in supplying the energy we need in our daily lives. That is a simple fact that no one can dispute. Could it, companies like the former aluminum plant in Ravenswood and thousands of others would install them to run their operations and take advantage of the free energy.
5 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Sorry but there is just no getting around what will happen to electricity costs if we make a hard turn off of coal.
I like the idea of renewables but they just aren't there yet in terms of being able to shoulder the weight of power generation for this nation.

I'd say Mike Myer would have a problem with anything President Obama and the Democrats do! So what else is new?

About the Book
"In this story of love and search for identity, Jessica Jiji succeeds fully in capturing passions, depth of feeling, and strong relationships beyond ethnic and religious differences."
—Naim Kattan, author of Farewell Babylon<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Jessica Jiji's Sweet Dates in Basra is a compelling, poignant, and unforgettable tale of friendship and family, set in Iraq during the second world war. A dramatic departure from Jiji's previous novel, Diamonds Take Forever, Sweet Dates in Basra brilliantly captures the atmosphere of a volatile Middle East during the previous century and pays tribute to the lost traditions of a once-idyllic world.
Just when her family should be arranging her marriage, Kathmiya Mahmoud, a young Marsh Arab maiden, is sent from her home in Iraq's idyllic countryside to the unfamiliar city of Basra, where she must survive on her paltry earnings as a servant. Her only asset—her exquisite beauty—brings more peril than peace. Worse, her mother appears to be keeping a secret about her own mysterious past, one that could threaten Kathmiya's destiny forever.
In this lost Iraq of the 1940s, a time of rich traditions and converging worlds, Kathmiya meets Shafiq, a Jewish boy whose brotherhood with his Muslim neighbor Omar proves that religion is no barrier to friendship. But in a world where loss of honor is punishable by death, the closeness that grows between Kathmiya and Shafiq becomes dangerous as a doomed love takes root. When British warplanes begin bombing Iraq and the country's long-simmering tensions explode, the power of an unbreakable boyhood bond and a transcendent love must overcome the deepening fractures of a collapsing society.
Set during the tumultuous years surrounding the Second World War, Sweet Dates in Basra is the redemptive story of two very different cultures, and a powerful reminder that no walls can confine the human spirit.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"The cultural perspective and setting are a nice break from the wartime norm, as is the unexpected ending." — Publishers Weekly
"Jiji does a remarkable job of evoking 1940s Iraq in her novel, from the colorful markets to the remote marshes, making for a vibrant read." — Booklist
"This bittersweet story, based on the life of the author's father, will resonate with readers who believe that Muslims and Jews can find common ground in the Middle East." — Library Journal
"Infused with love and longing, Sweet Dates in Basra weaves a colorful tapestry of life in a multilayered society with all of its charms—family life, street life, markets, foods, and celebrations—a story that is rich in detail and highly absorbing." — Yvette Raby, coauthor of The Lost World of the Egyptian Jews
"Jiji's breezy tale of star-crossed love is a reminder of the power of the heart over the strictures of tradition." — Ariel Sabar, author of My Father's Paradise: A Son's Search for His Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq
"This novel is a powerful love poem. American readers will be fascinated by the solidarity and comradeship between the Muslim and Jewish families as they suffer crisis after crisis." — Professor Saadi Simawe, author of Out of the Lamp and editor of Iraqi Poetry Today
"Sweet Dates in Basra is a moving novel which brings to life years of friendship and understanding, conflict and violence between Jews and Muslims in Basra. In this story of love and search for identity, Jessica Jiji succeeds fully in capturing passions, depth of feeling, and strong relationships beyond ethnic and religious differences." — Naim Kattan, author of Farewell Babylon: Coming of Age in Jewish Baghdad

This show was part of the "1997 Summer European Tour."
Nonetheless, it feels like a long set, much longer than the next night (I dont know how the two compare but maybe it was the quality of the recording that was really beginning to get to me!). We see Dogs Stole Things and Limb By Limb again, just like every other show on the tour so far. But the tiny light at the end of the tunnel is the fantastic Theme From the Bottom. Totally unreal version...Trey stays melodic the whole time and the band successfully follows. It's too bad the quality of this recording sucks, as I would assume this Theme would be higher on most people's lists.
Check out the Theme but move on to the next night where we get a breathe of fresh air with an awesome SBD and some top notch jamming...

I have this weird problem with KDL-32EX653: it takes luck to get PMS to find it. When PMS finds it (and it shows in detected media renderers) it works pretty much like a charm. But PMS rarely finds it in the first try, and to solve this I can just quit the program, wait for javaw.exe to close and then restart. Sometimes it works on second try, sometimes it works on 5th time, sometimes it works the 15th time and sometimes I've just too tired to try after 30th time when it still doesn't connect. It doesn't really matter how long the TV has been on (as long as it has already connected itself to LAN, of course).
When I get the program to detect TV, I can even close the TV and if I keep PMS running it won't lose the connection (so if I turn on TV later, I can use PMS without a prob). So the problem would solve by getting it running once and leaving my PC on day and night, but it really isn't an option.
Connection between: TV connected with wire and PC wireless. Router is TP-Link TL-WR841N (with newest firmware). uPNP is Enabled, no advanced options for that.
PC: Windows 7, Asus WL-130N for WLAN.
I really hope that there would be something to try, it's hard to look for info on this since most posts are for a configuration that doesn't work at all. It's really annoying if I happen to have bad luck day. Let me know if you want more specs on configuration.

OAKLAND -- Harrison Barnes still has eight games before he reaches the halfway point of his first season with the Warriors, but as far as he's concerned, his rookie phase is long over.
"I wouldn't call myself a rookie anymore," he said Monday at the team's practice facility. "Probably after the first 10-15 games, I started to get comfortable and I felt like I knew what I was doing as far as defensive rotations and such."
The question that remains is what Barnes might have in store in the second half now that he has his NBA feet under him.
So far, as the seventh pick in last year's draft, the 6-foot-8 small forward has done pretty much what's been expected. He has started every game, he's seventh in the league among rookies in scoring (9.1 points per game), he's shown himself to be an able defender and he is developing a nice inside/outside offensive game.
In other words, Barnes almost certainly has done enough to earn a spot in the NBA Rising Stars Challenge on All-Star Weekend next month, but that individual goal and other personal goals are the furthest thing from his mind, as you would expect from a player groomed for two years in the University of North Carolina basketball mentality.
"My only goal is to win games and keep pushing toward the playoffs," he said. "I just want to keep contributing every day. Some nights you're going to play a lot of minutes, some nights less, but it doesn't really matter as long as the team wins."
It's around this point in the season that rookies frequently hit a wall, but Barnes is showing few signs of physical or mental wear.
He's been a double-figure scorer in four straight games and had a terrific all-around game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Oracle Arena last week -- 13 points, nine rebounds and four assists along with some stellar defensive work.
Barnes, 20, gives the strong sense that his offensive ceiling is a lot higher than what he's shown so far, but for now, he's happy enough to demonstrate that he can be a well-rounded player.
"Everybody wants to be known as a player who plays both ends, because that's what's going to keep you in this league a long time," he said. "Athleticism, all that show and flash, that's good for the fans. But being able to guard the basketball and create things offensively, that's what's going to keep you around. The main thing I try to do is add something positive to every game I play."
"This is not a rivalry until one of us separates ourselves, or both of us separate ourselves, from everybody else," Jackson said. "Neither team has done anything, contrary to popular belief."
Guard Stephen Curry said the Warriors and Clippers might look more like a rivalry now because both teams are winning
"It's a different situation than when the Clippers and Golden State have met in the past, so it's going to mean a lot more," he said. "We should just have fun playing. We're not going to get too sensitive getting beat by (26), and I'm sure they felt the same way when we beat them at home pretty handily."
The two teams will play their final regular-season game at Oracle on Jan. 21.
Asked if Jack was hurting Saturday night against Los Angeles after playing 24 minutes and shooting just 3 for 9 from the floor, Jackson wouldn't say.
"We're a no-excuse team," he said. "If you're on the floor, you're fine."
It has been speculated undrafted guard Kent Bazemore might be a casualty, but the Warriors like him and wouldn't gain much against the threshold by waiving him. Bazemore is owed roughly $300,000 for the rest of the season.
Memphis (22-10) at Warriors (22-11), 7:30 p.m. CSNBA

With their power play and big trade acquisition still floundering, things can only get better for Boston as they chase the Stanley Cup.
The drama that enveloped the first round of the playoffs has been largely replaced by its polar opposite in the second; a sweeping vacuum of lopsidedness and foregone conclusions - not that fans of the winning teams mind that in the least.

Barry Trotz is always mentioned among the best coaches in the game, but until he got a playoff round win under his belt, his bark was bigger than his bite.

The Hawks took a step back this season because of salary cap moves, but it won't be long before they're back to where they were last season.
The Blackhawks aren't dead yet. Sure, they could be after Game 6 or Game 7 – heck, maybe they even pull off a Philly-over-Boston miracle and make it to the second round.

Once thought to be spoilers themselves, the Devils' surprisingly amazing run has been tested by the East's true spoiler team.
While the miraculous run by the New Jersey Devils has been one of the top stories of the season's second half, there's a certain bent irony in the fact the only team that has beaten Jacques Lemaire's crew this month is Ottawa – and the Sens have done it twice.

Every year the question is asked if the Sharks can overcome past disappointments. The difference this year is they had to fight through the regular season first.

With the acquisition of agitating left winger Jarkko Ruutu the Anaheim Ducks have clearly sent a message to the rest of the West that they are in this season to win it and it won't be fun to meet them in the playoffs.

As the Dallas Stars make a surprise run at the playoffs, it's the development of players such as Loui Eriksson that's helping the team along.
DALLAS - It's not hard to figure out why the Dallas Stars have been a surprise contender in the West this season. Though the team has admirable depth, the top line of Brad Richards, Loui Eriksson and James Neal has done the most damage offensively and Eriksson in particular is having a breakout season.

Debate over how revenue from Ohio Gov. John Kasich's proposed increase of a tax on oil and natural gas drilling should be used may be moot.
House Speaker William Batchelder, a fellow Republican, has indicated the increase of the effective severance tax rate on large-scale drilling from less than 1 percent to 4 percent will be removed from the House version of the biennial budget bill.
"It sounds as though it's dead for at least a couple years," said Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, who also opposes the hike. "It's a tax on prosperity, and it's a tax on exploration and opportunity."
But Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols told The Marietta Times Friday that the governor still plans to push for the tax hike as a way to recoup money from the booming oil and gas industry and "cut taxes by $1.4 billion so we can be competitive and get people back to work."
"We will not stop talking about this, and we will not stop pushing for this," he said. "We will come back again and again because it's the right thing to do."
The increase was one way Kasich planned to pay for a statewide income tax cut of 20 percent over the next three years, along with an expansion of the sales tax, which the House GOP also seems poised to nix. They still indicate they support the overall goal of cutting income taxes though.
Fact Box
Fact box
Gov. John Kasich's biennial budget proposal includes an increase of the severance tax on large-scale oil and natural gas drilling to 4 percent.
House Republicans have indicated the provision will not be in their budget bill.
Others have criticized the tax increase because its revenue would be used to offset a statewide income tax reduction, instead of benefiting the areas where the resources are gathered.
"We're going to try to find another way to do an income tax cut," Thompson said.
Republicans have a majority in both the House and the Senate. And Kasich may not find much support for the severance tax hike among Democrats either.
Ohio Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Albany, said the burden of the increased tax likely won't fall only, or even primarily, on the companies doing the drilling.
"I actually have looked at some of the lease language, and many of the leases require the landowners to pay any severance tax from the royalties," she said. "That's a big difference between getting out-of-state oil companies to pay."
Thompson echoed that concern, but also said placing more tax burden on the companies themselves would make the state less competitive.
Nichols said moving the tax to 4 percent would still keep it lower than surrounding states and other oil- and gas-producing states.
Even if the tax increase remained in place, there is opposition to using it to fund an income tax increase. Ohio Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, said he and other Senate Democrats are already drafting potential amendments for the budget, including one redirecting 65 percent of the revenue back to the areas from which the minerals are being extracted. The rest would support state oversight of the industry.
"We're taking and assuming all the risk associated with this oil and gas development," Gentile said. "I don't think it's unfair to ask that a majority of the money from this severance tax increase be spent in the local (community)."
Although the severance tax is not part of Kasich's proposed school funding formula, Warren and Fort Frye Local Schools Superintendent Tom Gibbs brought the issue up in testimony last week before the House Finance and Appropriations Subcommittee on Primary and Secondary Education and again before the full finance committee on Wednesday. He asked legislators to put at least a portion of the money toward services "for local communities and school districts that may be impacted negatively by the 'boom' associated with this industry."
In his prepared testimony, Gibbs said he learned about some of these potential burdens at a conference last spring at Penn State University.
"It was clearly communicated that small rural school districts there (Pennsylvania) experienced increases in special education population, English language learner populations, challenges with transportation and increased incidences of domestic violence and rural homelessness," he said. "The current proposal disregards the impacts that the oil and gas industry would have on the local communities and instead takes local wealth from an already depressed region of the state to share broadly among wealthier residents of the state."
Nichols said there are other resources in the state - for example Lake Erie - that generate revenue that benefits more than just the region in which they are located.
"The whole idea that you would regionalize tax benefits - that's not a state," he said.
But Gentile pointed to recently passed legislation dedicating 90 percent of revenue from turnpike bond sales to projects in the northern part of the state.
"I actually said on the floor, 'I wish we could get the same consideration in southern Ohio,'" he said.

Want a fun after-school activity? Get your kids involved in meal planning by using play food to act out healthy habits! Here are three of our favorite ways to play with food toys—with a lunchbox spin for back to school!
Pack it up: Encourage your kids to have fun with nutrition by letting them pack a lunchbox or brown paper bag with play food. (If you don't have toy versions, try drawing different types of food on index cards or cut pictures out of a magazine.) Make it a game by scoring each meal based on its nutritional value!
Pick it up: Guide your kids toward healthy choices by stocking each (play) food group in a different container. Give them a recipe for a healthy snack, such as "1 fruit, 1 protein" and let them check off their choices as they pack their lunches.
Run it in: Hold a mad dash for healthy choices by placing all the "foods" in a pile in the middle of the room, then giving each child a 10-second turn to stuff as many foods as possible in his or her lunchbox. Award points to each player for nutritious foods and deduct for sugary snacks.
Then take a break for a real snack to celebrate all you've learned! Bon appetit. (For snack ideas, visit our Bon Appetit board on Pinterest!)

Held in the breathtaking natural amphitheater of San Francisco Bay, the 34th America's Cup unfolded with high drama, showcasing elite international sailors competing in AC72s, high-performance catamarans that can sail at speeds of more than 50 miles an hour.
Oracle Team USA
Watch the video
Completing what many thought of as one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time—from an 8 to 1 deficit where the winner must take nine races—ORACLE TEAM USA won the winner-take-all final race to successfully defend the 34th America's Cup on September 25, 2013 in San Francisco. Skipper and helmsman Jimmy Spithill guided the team's AC72 past Emirates Team New Zealand to win that race by 39 seconds and retain the America's Cup trophy.
"This was the most magnificent spectacle on the water," said Larry Ellison, ORACLE TEAM USA founder. "These 40-plus knot catamarans are amazing. By going to catamarans we tried to make sailing a bit more extreme, friendlier for the viewing audience. A lot of people weren't interested in sailing, and now they are. This regatta has changed sailing forever."
ORACLE TEAM USA becomes defender of the 35th America's Cup.

Baylor University and Addison launch business incubator for students
The Dallas-Fort Worth region is home to several business incubators that nurture startups and entrepreneurs trying to develop their businesses.
Add another to the growing list. The Town of Addison has created a new incubator specifically for students of Baylor University Hankamer School of Business School's startup creation program called Accelerated Ventures.
Under this new partnership, which was announced this morning, Addison is encouraging graduating seniors to move to the community to grow the startups that were created during the two-semester course. The town will provide free office space, mentoring and other resources for a year.
Addison officials hope the partnership not only promotes entrepreneurship in the community but that these startups end up staying put after the one year, adding to the local economy.

|Check-in before
Owner is kind. Apartment very nice, clean, right in the center of Palma. Small minus - the lack of air conditioning in bedrooms.
Apartamento de lujo en el centro de Palma, con todas las comodidades a tu disposición. Las habitaciones grandes, espaciosas y con mucho sitio de almacenaje para la ropa. La cocina muy completa. El baño adecuado y todo funcióna a la perfección. El salón amplio con aire acondicionado, que para verano es una gran ventaja. La ubicación es inmejorable, calle peatonal muy tranquila, cerca de todo y sin ruido de tráfico. El anfitrión del apartamento atento en todo momento a cualquier problema. En difinitiva una maravilla.
Lage zentral. Dennoch ruhig. Sauber. Wenig Sonneneinfall, aber im Hochsommer wahrscheinlich angenehm. Keine Spülmaschine vorhanden. Sehr netter Kontakt vor Ort. Super hilfsbereit.
Great host. Quick to reply by mail and text. Supplied baby cot and chair without hassle. Just easy!
Amazing location in old town, Palma.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a great stay in the apartment. Location is really great. In reality exactly like the pictures. Pay attention: the stairs are rather steep!
Everything was more than ok, except for the noise the wooden floor makes.....
We liked:
-Excellent location, easy to walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, shops, cafes. Perfect with little baby.
-Spacious lounge & dining area (we were 3 adults and a 5 month old baby).
-2 good size double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
-Elevator (but 3 steps to get up to it made it a little tricky with pushchair).
-Quiet - good for sleeping!
-Lucky it was available at short notice.
We didn't like:
-No electric kettle - just one for the hob - far too time consuming for tea & making baby bottles!
-No AC in the bedrooms, only in lounge. We had to have the lounge at lowest temperature for a few hours to help cools the bedrooms.
-Tiny microwave (our standard MAM baby bottles wouldn't fit).
-En suite bathroom did not have a shower curtain.
-Poor water pressure in showers.
Top flat, super service!
The appartment was well suited for Our need - 3 bedrooms and 3 Bath rooms for 6 girlfriends. The double in one of the rooms was very narrow, but the other beds were all right. The apartment's location in the old part of Palma was very Nice. It was a quiet area With no traffic noice. The negative part was that there was no list. With Heavy suitcases this was a chellenge. But we managed and enjoyed Our stay.
We were surprised that we had to pay a deposit of Euro 250 in cash when the rent was paid upfront. That was a New experience. I have recently rented a house in Floride which I paid upfront, and no depositum was needed. The house I rented was not through Windu.
We stated in the loft with 4 persons in our twenties looking for a place for our own to have a relaxing holiday.
Location: In the center of the city between two main squares. One with a big shopping mall and bus station and the other near the main shopping district and tapas bars were most of the locals seem to come.
Accommodation: very neat and specious for four persons. two room; one with a two-person bed an another with two one-person beds. We didn't cook in the apartment however there sufficient supplies in the open kitchen.
service: after a text message the owner met us at the apartment very promptly and arranged everything with us.
Generally speaking: very nice place to use as a hub to go into Palma and explore the island. We for one very much enjoyed our stay.
Big thanks for Spain Rentals for having us over.
Fabian, The Netherlands.

Missing You, Metropolis
Thursday, February 21, 2013
6:30pm @ Central Library
Topeka native Gary Jackson reads from and discusses his Missing You, Metropolis, winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize for the exceptional first book by an African-American poet.
With humor and the delight of a serious comic book collector, Jackson – recently named one of "five young black writers you should be reading now" – imagines the comic-book world of Superman, Batman, and the X-Men co-existing with the real world of Kansas, racial isolation, and the gravesides of a sister and a friend.
Co-sponsored by Park University and the University of Central Missouri.

this go kart is well worth the asking price no matter what you dont get with it. you would need a different exhaust to run at denton in it, and new tires for sure.the motor is worth that much alone.
