U.S. reps slam Obama climate plan
June 26, 2013
PARKERSBURG — The president's climate change speech on Tuesday was misguided and misinformed, according to criticisms by lawmakers from Ohio and West Virginia....
It's good to see that some people are opening their eyes. Obama is the dumbest choice Americans have ever made!! I hope the country will survive 3 more years of him trying to destroy it.

Hey, didn't the people vote for Hope and Change??? Well were getting that change and there's no Hope. There's enough people out there right now who are like Sheep… they don't care what's going on except what is affecting them right now. Then along with that, there's A LOT of people who are not informed, don't understand or just have given up with the corruptness of our political system in Washington with BOTH PARTIES!. So what will happen is Obama will get his way (AGAIN), Manchin and Rockefeller will make a token gesture and follow the party line, and the idiots that believe the propaganda that they are feed will support this for …….. (Fill in the blank with whatever).

Congress has a solution. As Congress set for the statutes established with each regulatory agency, if they feel said agencies are out of line, simply let the President know that if he chooses to bypass Congress then they will have no choice but to defund the affected agencies. It really is that simple.

Well, all you brilliant people that voted Bin Bama into office should hold you head up and stand proud. Alternative fuels need to be part of the solution - we are gtting backed into a corner, in a house with only 2 walls left.

So , Manchin, Rahall, etal. are upset. This should be no surprise to anyone as to what Obama wants to do.

West Virginia needs to plan a future without coal. It may come as a surprise to West Virginians, but most folks in the United States see coal as a dirty health hazard...And the slogan "clean coal" is not fooling anyone. As far as President Obama declaring war on coal, I think that West Virginia declared war on President Obama even before his first election. Politically speaking, what does President Obama owe West Virginia??

I keep saying,"Well, things couldn't get any worse and then they do." With the present technology there is no way to store large amounts of electric made by solar and wind and we cannot run the country while waiting for the wind to blow and the sun to come out from behind the clouds. Golly, if we could only harness the hot air that comes out of the white house,to make steam, and run turbines we could supply electric to every household for free.

"What does President Obama owe West Virginia??" The same thing he owes the remaining 56 of his states! However, this imbecile only cares for himself and his cronies. 42% of our electricity in the US is from coal, and he wants to cripple the older plants that can't reach proposed regulations? Suttle, you will pay the same exorbitant rates as the rest of us if these regulations are forced upon us, and we WILL NOT sit here and listen to you whine and moan about how much more you're paying because of it. You elected this idiot. Elections have consequences.

Is it better to have a little dirty air, or to starve to death? If there are no jobs, there will be nobody to pay for Obamacare or food for your table.
7 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Suttle,I agree with your comments.However,in the SHORT RUN,President Obama's climate plan will hurt southern West Virginia,where coal has been king for generations,and those who work in the coal fields have little or no education for the most part to change their livelihood.In the LONG RUN,future generations will adjust and become employable in the new age of an era without coal and its hazardous creation(s).

The reported unemployment numbers only account for those still looking for work. If it were true unemployment, the numbers would be in the double digits. Don't blow your whistle too loudly. The country as a whole has gotten into worse shape, not better, yet you still believe the liar in the Oval Office.

My concern is the mainstream media only covering stories like the Zimmerman trial and ignoring the scandals with this administration. I am a registered Democrat but I do not agree with anything they represent anymore. Democrats used to stand up for the poor working men and women of America and now they stand up for the poor non-working (the people that do not want to work) Americans. Impeachment would be too good for the crooks in the current administration.

FYY, you're exactly right. I, too, am still registered as a Democrat, but these buffoons that call themselves Democrats now aren't the same ones that fought for our previous generations' livelihood.

Police seeking suspect who fled after hit-and-run
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
Columbus police say a Tryon man led authorities on a chase through Polk County after his involvement in a hit-and-run collision on Interstate 26 near Saluda Sunday night. Police were still searching for the driver Monday afternoon.
The Columbus Police Department attempted to stop a vehicle on U.S. Highway 74 that was suspected of being involved in the hit-and-run around 5:15 p.m. The driver failed to stop and fled from the officer onto Fox Mountain Road, then Smith Waldrop Road and onto N.C. Highway 9 South before abandoning his vehicle on Will Green Road, according to a news release from the Columbus Police Department Monday.
The operator of the vehicle, identified as Jason Lee Brady, 36, of Tryon, fled on foot and has outstanding warrants for his arrest on charges including felony fleeing to elude arrest, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, assault on a law enforcement assistance animal, failure to heed blue light and siren, reckless driving, speeding 85 mph in a 40 mph zone, possession of stolen property, driving while license revoked, driving while impaired, injury to property, resisting arrest and other charges.
Anyone who knows Brady's whereabouts is asked to contact the police department at 828-894-5464 or dial 911.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol investigated the initial collision. The Columbus Police Department was assisted in the pursuit by the Highway Patrol and the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.

DOE Launches New K-12 Energy Curriculum Web Site
October 17, 2007
DOE announced on October 10th the launch of a new educational Web site that provides more than 350 lesson plans and activities on energy efficiency and renewable energy for grades K-12. DOE's new "Get Smart About Energy!" Web site includes hands-on activities that address energy fundamentals, energy efficiency, sources of energy, and the environmental impacts of energy use, and all the activities and lesson plans are aligned with the National Science Education Standards. Teacher guides are included with many of the lessons, and all the materials are free and reproducible. The Web site will help to equip today's students with the knowledge and resources to develop cutting-edge energy technologies in the future. See the DOE press release and the "Get Smart About Energy!" Web site.
The new Web site is part of DOE's EnergySmart Schools Program, which also promotes energy efficient schools. K-12 schools spend more than $8 billion annually on energy, making energy the second highest operating expenditure for these schools after personnel costs. To help lower those costs, the EnergySmart Schools program promotes the building of new schools that exceed code by 50% or more, as well as retrofits to existing schools that improve energy efficiency by 30% or more. The program is endorsed by the National School Boards Association and offers tools and resources to assist school decision makers in planning and financing energy-efficient high-performance schools. The program also offers education and training for building industry professionals. See the newly updated EnergySmart Schools Web site.

USDA Loans $17.4 Million for Greensburg, Kansas, to Run on Wind Power
October 14, 2009
Greensburg, Kansas, got a boost from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on October 9, when the agency announced a $17.4 million loan for a 12.5-megawatt wind power project that will provide renewable power for the city. Greensburg is in the process of rebuilding as a green community following a devastating tornado in May 2007, and the $23.3 million Greensburg Wind Farm is expected to help the city to meet its energy goal of drawing on 100% renewable energy. The USDA loan will go to a subsidiary of John Deere Renewables, with the remaining $5.8 million from an equity investment by Deere & Company. Kansas Power Pool, the municipal energy agency to which the city belongs, will buy the electricity generated by the Greensburg Wind Farm, supplying its wind power to Greensburg and surrounding communities. In addition, NativeEnergy, Inc. will sell Renewable Energy Credits for about two-thirds of the wind farm's energy output over the next 20 years. The 10-turbine Greensburg Wind Farm is expected to start producing power next year. See the USDA press release, the April 2009 announcement of the project by John Deere (PDF 332 KB), and NativeEnergy's Greensburg Wind Farm Web page. Download Adobe Reader.
The new wind farm is the latest phase in the community's efforts to rebuild in a green, sustainable way. Only two weeks after the tornado destroyed 95% of the city's houses, city officials called DOE for assistance. After meeting with officials, DOE opened a Greensburg office to advise residents and commercial users on sustainable rebuilding. DOE also committed a team of experts from its National Renewable Energy Laboratory to conduct detailed studies, develop renewable energy and efficiency business strategies, and assemble various financing and ownership options to produce or procure renewable energy technologies. See the DOE press release and Web page on the Greensburg project.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: Chung Yang
Project Title: Reactivation Methylation-Silenced Genes by Polyphenols
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hypermethylation of promoter CpG islands is an important mechanism to silence the expression of many tumor suppressors, DNA repair, and other genes in cancer. The long-term goal of this project is to study the inhibition and reversal of this process by dietary polyphenols for the purpose of prevention and treatment of cancer. In preliminary studies, we observed that treatment of human esophageal cancer KYSE 510 cells with the tea polyphenol EGCG caused the reversal of hypermethylation of RARbeta, p16, MGMT, and hMLH1 and the regaining of gene expression. EGCG also inhibited DNMT activity in nuclear extracts. This property of EGCG and related compounds could be explored for cancer chemoprevention and therapy. Our hypothesis is that EGCG and some other dietary polyphenols can inhibit DNMT, prevent or reverse the gene silencing caused by hypermethylation, and contribute to the inhibition of carcinogenesis, In this proposal, we plan to test this hypothesis with the following Specific Aims: 1. To quantify the demethylation and reactivation of hypermethylation-silenced genes (MSGs) such as RARbeta, p16, MGMT, and hMLH1 by EGCG, characterize the pattern of CpG demethylation, and determine the sustainability of the reactivated gene expression. 2. To elucidate the mechanisms by which EGCG inhibits DNMT activity and DNA hypermethylation. The leading hypothesis is that inhibition of DNMT1 by EGCG causes demethylation. Other mechanisms such as those involving AdoMet levels and other methyltransferases, will also be examined. 3. To establish the above observed effects as general phenomena by determining the spectrum of MSGs that are reactivated by EGCG (using methylation microarrays), examining the effects of EGCG on other cell lines (oral, colon, and prostate cancers), and investigating the effects of other dietary polyphenols. 4. To determine the possible synergistic effects in the reactivation of MSGs when EGCG is used in combination with a HDAC inhibitor (butyrate or TSA) or retinoic acid. Possible effects on global hypomethylation will be analyzed. 5. To determine whether EGCG, alone or in combination with other agents, can prevent hypermethylation of genes and tumor development in the intestinal tumorigenesis model in the Min mice.

"The View" is taking serious flak after announcing this week that it has hired Jenny McCarthy as a co-host.
McCarthy has courted controversy in recent years for her outspoken stance that vaccinations can lead to autism in children. The theory has been widely discredited, according to the Huffington Post, and its critics say adhering to it could endanger children by leaving them vulnerable to disease.
Science reporter Michael Specter of the New Yorker slammed ABC for bringing McCarthy on board and giving her a potential platform for her views.
"Jenny McCarthy, who will join 'The View' in September, will be the show's first co-host whose dangerous views on childhood vaccination may -- if only indirectly -- have contributed to the sickness and death of people throughout the Western world. Executives at ABC should be ashamed of themselves for offering McCarthy a regular platform on which she can peddle denialism and fear to the parents of young children who may have legitimate questions about vaccine safety. ... It's a strike against reason and progress and hope. That is a cost that the network won't be able to afford for long, and neither will the rest of us."
Wow. I had no idea Jenny McCarthy was destroying civilization.
Because hysteria is apparently catchy, Salon's Alex Pareene weighed in on Tuesday with the headline, "Dear ABC: Putting Jenny McCarthy on 'The View' will kill children."
Guardian reporter Tom McCarthy (no relation) wrote that while McCarthy's stance was troubling, her co-hosts on "The View" have proved adept at shooting down "quackery":
"'The View' comes in for a lot of flak among people who don't watch it for being lightweight or cloying. But it can be much more than that ... there's a good chance (McCarthy will) find herself alone on one side of an argument that she loses, badly."

A bacterial infection has spread to Taylor County.
Last week, the infection spread to the Taylor County School System when a child at Taylor County Elementary School was diagnosed with shigellosis.
Amy Tomlinson, public health services coordinator for the Lake Cumberland District Health Department, says Taylor and Marion counties have seen an increase in cases of shigellosis in the past few months.
"The symptoms of shigellosis may include diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, nausea and vomiting," she said.

I gave a speech in Drogheda, Ireland, yesterday on the impact of the famine in America. I was one of several speakers, including Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who is speaking today on the occasion of the national commemoration of the greatest European catastrophe of the 19th Century.
Here is an excerpt of some of my remarks:
"Missing Friends was the series every week in John Boyle O'Reilly's Boston Pilot newspaper which allowed Famine era immigrants to America to seek out families and freidns who had gone before them.
It was the Facebook of its time. Famine emigrants rarely wanted to discuss the horrific nature of the voyage or the awful conditions they had to endure.
On Missing Friends, however, we hear their voices resonate.
It is not surprising they never wanted to talk about it and who could blame them they were ripped from their families, catapulted across the bitter bowl of tears arrived penniless, many speaking no English.
Here are some of their voices from the past.
"Of JOHN QUILMAN, late of the parish of Inch, co'y Tipperary, who sailed from Waterford with his family last April. His daughter, Mary Harrington, wishes him to know that her husband, James Harrington, died on their passage to this country; also her two children since. She is now in Troy and wishes to know where her father is. Any information respecting him will be thankfully received by Mary Harrington, care of S. Duffy, or Mrs. Daly, Fifth street, Troy, N. Y.
27 November 1847
Of ANTHONY and PATRICK WATERS, natives of co. Mayo. They are informed that their sister, Mary, who was married to Patrick Boyle, is anxious to hear from them. Her husband died on the passage. Should this meet their eye they will write to her immediately, care of the editor of the Pilot,Boston, Ms.
4 December 1847
Of BERNARD MURPHY, who emigrated from Co. Armagh, parish of Grangemore, townland of Aughmagorgan, in April last, with his father and 2 sisters. He was parted from his father at Quarantine Island, below Montreal. It is supposed he went to Kingston. Any information respecting him will be thankfully received by his father who is now living in Dover. If by letter, address Patrick Grimes, Dover, N. H., or John Doran, No. 6 Canal street, Boston, Ms.
11 December 1847
Of CATHERINE GILLEN, who landed in Boston last spring, with her father and family. She was sick and went to hospital and has not been heard from since. Any one knowing anything of her would confer a favor on her father, Hugh Gillen, by writing a letter to him in care of John Devlin, Pawtucket, R.I.
18 December 1847
Of BRIDGET CARROLL, a native of Killacooly, parish of Drumcliff, co. Sligo, who was taken into Grosse Isle hospital, below Quebec, in June last, and has not been heard from since. Any information respecting her will be thankfully received by her brother, Patrick Carroll, care of Mr. Samuel Downer, Second street, South Boston, Ms.
1 January 1848
Of PETER and ELLEN CARR, natives of county Down, parish of Gervathey, who left home in April and landed in St. John, 4th July. They came in the ship Ambassadress. Ellen had the fever and was taken to Patridge Island, and Peter remained with her. Any information of them will be thankfully received by their brother, JohnCarr, Lawrence City, Ms.
Of DENNIS MCCARTHY, late of Killmichael, co'y Cork, who sailed from Liverpool on the 1st of last May, and left his wife, Ellen Ahearn, in Quarantine near Quebec, in June. She is now in Troy, N. Y., and wishes to know his whereabouts. Any information respecting him will be thankfully received by addressing a line to Ellen McCarthy, care of Stephen Duffy, Troy, N. Y.
'Son missing' John Fallon 'had light hair, blue eyes; was about four feet, four inches in height; wore a blue spencer, a new scoop shovel cap, a fancy pants and had a freckled face.'
The voices of these emigrants resonate still.
As we can see many of the emigrants themselves were in despair, their dreams of a new life shattered by the reality of what awaited them. Only the Blacks in chains fare worse than the Irish.
As one famine emigrant put it plainly 'We thought we could not be worse off than we were; but now to our sorrow we know the difference. At home we had the chance of a doctors care and the certainty of the spiritual administration of a priest. Should death overtake us there we would be buried beside our beloved dead, in consecrated Irish ground, with the prayers and last blessing of our church. Here we have nothing.'

SANTA CLARA -- Jim Harbaugh acknowledged Tuesday that he wants a Super Bowl do-over.
The 49ers coach said so in response to a question about the 49ers' heavily criticized play-calling on their final drive against the Baltimore Ravens.
Noting that the drive stalled 5 yards short of the end zone in a 34-31 loss in New Orleans, Harbaugh said that any such failure forces him to second guess.
"Yeah, (I) would've liked to have tried a different play call, a different scenario,'' Harbaugh said. "That's the way I always feel if you do something and it doesn't work."
Starting with a first-and-goal from the Ravens 7 with just over two minutes to play, the 49ers gave LaMichael James a handoff for a 2-yard gain.
Then quarterback Colin Kaepernick tried three consecutive passes -- all to receiver Michael Crabtree, all to the right side, all incomplete. Harbaugh didn't say what play might have worked better, saying only: "I would've liked to have done something different, at least tried it.
"But you can't. The 'would've, could've, should've' is undefeated. That's never failed."
Players spent Tuesday clearing out their lockers -- and answering questions about the big one that got away. Kaepernick, who threw for 302 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl, said his final pass to Crabtree came on an audible at the line of scrimmage.
That play came on fourth-and-5 with 1:50 left. Kaepernick saw the Ravens playing a Cover-0 defense, meaning all of the defenders were at the line with no safeties back. That left Crabtree matched up one-on-one against cornerback Jimmy Smith to the quarterback's right.
"I audibled to a fade to Crab,'' Kaepernick said. "I'll take Crabtree one-on-one with anybody."
The pass fell incomplete under tight coverage from Smith. Many 49ers complained to the officials that Smith should have been flagged for defensive holding.
Kaepernick was asked Tuesday how he would remember this season.
"As not being good enough,'' he replied.
"I don't think my shoulder was a problem at all," said Smith, who had 191/2 sacks in the team's first 13 games.
Smith said he feels "all right" and that he just needs "rest" in the offseason.
Asked about the 49ers' lack of a pass rush late in the season, Smith added, "We didn't get to the quarterback as much as we should have. But they were blocking us a lot of different ways. The ball was coming out a lot faster."
"The vibe was pretty down,'' Staley said. "But we tried to have as much fun as we could."
Kaepernick, though, said there was nothing Moss could have done. "I overthrew the pass. It was my fault," he said.
Harbaugh agreed, saying: "I felt the ball was thrown too high. It wasn't catchable. And I think that's one Colin would've liked to have back."
"It really humbled me, honestly, my first year not playing,'' Jenkins said.
Jenkins is among the group of players joining Kaepernick for offseason workouts in Atlanta.
"He and I are already great friends off the field," Jenkins said. "Hopefully, we can get that going on the field as well."

Here are the estimated cuts facing California:
—Education: $87.6 million in reduced funding for primary and secondary education, putting about 1,210 teacher and aide jobs at risk. In addition, schools would lose $62.9 million in funds for about 760 special education teachers and aides.
—Work-Study Jobs: Around 9,600 fewer low-income college students would receive financial aid and around 3,690 fewer students would get work-study jobs.
—Head Start: About 8,200 children would lose Head Start and Early Head Start services.
—Environment: $12.4 million reduction in environmental funding for clean water, air quality and anti-pollution programs. Possible loss of $1.9 million in grants for fish and wildlife protection.
—Military: Roughly 64,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed. Army base operation funding would be cut by about $54 million. Air Force operation funding would be cut by about $15 million. Maintenance and repair of five Navy ships in San Diego and aircraft depot maintenance in North Island could be canceled.
—Public Safety: $1.6 million in grants that support law enforcement, courts and crime prevention programs.
—Job Search Assistance: $3.3 million reduction for job search assistance, meaning around 129,770 fewer people would get help.
—Child Care: Up to 2,000 disadvantaged children could lose access to child care.
—Children's Vaccines: $1.1 million in reduced funding for vaccinations, meaning around 15,810 fewer children will get vaccines.
—Public Health: $2.6 million reduction to help upgrade the state's ability to respond to public health threats. In addition, California would lose about $12.4 million in grants to prevent and treat substance abuse. And the state health department would lose $2 million resulting in 49,300 fewer HIV tests.
—Domestic Abuse: $795,000 reduction to provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in 3,000 fewer victims being served.
—Senior Nutrition: $5.4 million reduction to provide meals for seniors.

North Koreans attend a rally to support a statement given on Tuesday by a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army vowing to cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War as well as boasting of the North's ownership of "lighter and smaller nukes" and its ability to execute "surgical strikes" meant to unify the divided Korean Peninsula, at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Thursday, March 7, 2013. North Korea on Thursday vowed to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the United States, amplifying its threatening rhetoric hours ahead of a vote by U.N. diplomats on whether to level new sanctions against Pyongyang for its recent nuclear test. The billboard in background depicts a large bayonet pointing at U.S. army soldiers with writing reading "If you dare invade, only death will be waiting for you!" (AP Photo/Jon Chol Jin)
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea is warning of future nuclear and rocket efforts that it says are warranted because of new U.N. sanctions over its third nuclear test.
The statement Saturday from an unidentified Foreign Ministry spokesman builds on a torrent of warlike threats from Pyongyang in the wake of the sanctions, which North Korea says are an indication of U.S. hostility.
The sanction, approved Thursday, target North Korea's ruling class.
U.N. diplomats say the sanctions will hurt leader Kim Jong Un. But others argue they may actually bolster him by allowing officials to whip up anti-U.S. sentiment and direct attention away from government failures.
Pyongyang's statement says "the world will clearly see what permanent position" it will take to "reinforce as a nuclear weapons state and satellite launcher" because of the sanctions.

SUNNYVALE -- Under pressure from hedge funds to drastically reduce expenses, computer-networking company Juniper Networks is cutting 6 percent of its worldwide workforce, or about 570 employees.
Announcing the move in a regulatory filing Tuesday, Sunnyvale-based Juniper said the cuts are "designed to focus the company on high-growth segments and to right-size certain functions." It noted that "the majority of these reductions are immediate and a significant proportion are middle-management positions."
Juniper spokeswoman Cindy Ta declined to say precisely how many employees will lose their jobs or how many of them are in the Bay Area.
"We are not disclosing a breakout of percentages by function, organization or geographic region," she said.
As of Dec. 31, the company said it had 9,483 full-time employees. A 6 percent cut would amount to just under 570 positions.
Cutting employees is a "difficult thing for any company to do, but unfortunately it's a necessity at Juniper, given the bloated expense structure" at the corporation, said Brian Marshall, an analyst with International Strategy and Investment Group.
The company has been under pressure to reduce expenses for some time.
In October 2012, it announced it was cutting 500 workers "to align its resources to improve productivity and effectiveness."
And more recently, CEO Shaygan Kheradpir -- who replaced retired Chief Executive Kevin Johnson in November -- has come under fire from two hedge funds to slim Juniper down even more.
In February, he agreed to demands by Elliott Management to cut $160 million in expenses and return about $3 billion to investors. The other hedge fund similarly calling for cuts is Jana Partners. Officials with the two funds did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Besides jettisoning employees, Juniper said it is discontinuing its "application delivery controller technology" -- which helps keep computer networks from getting bogged down -- and will "consolidate its facilities." The latter move, it said, "will result in the future disposal of approximately 300,000 square feet of leased facilities, representing approximately 12 percent of our global facilities square footage."
As a result of the job cuts, the company said it will incur about $35 million in "severance and other related employee termination expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014."
The company added that it planned to further restructure its business in the near future.
Juniper's stock rose 45 cents, or 1.7 percent, to close Wednesday at $26.80.

SAN JOSE -- A VTA light rail train struck and killed a woman wearing dark clothing on the tracks just outside the Willow Glen neighborhood early Christmas morning, authorities said.
Sgt. Heather Randol, a San Jose police spokeswoman, said emergency responders found the woman's body after it was struck about 100 to 200 yards from the Curtner light rail station, at Curtner Avenue, just west of the Highway 87 onramp, at 1:30 a.m. The coroner had not identified her Wednesday.
Police were still investigating whether the death was a suicide or an accident.
The woman was walking on the tracks, and the train was on its way to the rail yard to be "put to bed" for the evening after finishing up its last routes from the previous day and was not carrying any passengers, officials said.
"She was wearing dark clothing, and the train wasn't able to stop in time," said Colleen Valless, a spokeswoman for the Valley Transportation Authority.
Valless said the train has been impounded at the rail yard while police continue to investigate.
The VTA said service was restored on its reduced holiday schedule by 6 a.m. When light rail service began for the day an hour earlier, the VTA ran buses to transport passengers between the Santa Teresa and Tamien stations.

Wayne Turner was born in Boston and attended Beaver Country Day, in Chestnut Hill, MA. After being named a McDonalds All American, he'd go on to Kentucky. There he'd win National Championships in 1996 and 1998. After being undrafted, he signed with the Celtics in November of 1999.
His stay with the Celts was brief: 3 games total, before he was released. He'd score 4 points and have 4 personal fouls in 41 minutes played total.
After his NBA Career, Turner would play in the IBL for the Cincinnati Stuff and then with the Harlem Globetrotters in 2000. In 2002 he played in the CBA for the Dakota Wizards. In 2003 he played in the Australian NBL for the Townsville Crocodiles (no word on whether he ran into Conner Henry or Todd Lichti while he was there). In 2007 he joined the New Zealand Breakers. In 2008 he returned to the CBA and joined the East Kentucky Miners.
It's inevitable that when thinking of Wayne Turner, you have to think of Reggie Hanson. Which of the two deserved more of a chance to play in the NBA? Hanson played 8 games and Turner played 3. Looking back at the Evil Emperor's reign in Boston, it's comedic he brought some of these deplorable players in. Were Hanson and Turner legitimately NBA-quality players? Well you know about Hanson but Turner's stats were even less impressive at Kentucky (although he was instrumental in Kentucky being such a powerhouse back then). I genuinely think this may have been another case of the Evil Emperor hooking up one of his old players with a quick contract, just to tell his kids one day he played in the NBA. [Speaking of the Evil Emperor, he really epitomized a shitty NBA head coach. Look at his career record. He had one good season with the Knicks in 1989 but that team was knocked off by a lower-seeded Bulls team in the second round. As much as I rag on the Buffoon on this site for his piss-poor job of running the Celtics, a lot of the blame has to go towards the Evil Emperor.]
Perhaps during his regime, the Evil Emperor thought to himself at one point "well we're not going to win any basketball games here, and since the negativity in this town sucks, stinks and sucks, and Robert Parish, Larry Bird and Kevin McHale aren't walking through that door, well then the hell with it Reggie Hanson and Wayne Turner will walk through the door instead."
Today, just like Reggie, Wayne is a college assistant coach, at...yep, the University of Kentucky (along with Tony Delk). He's even been spotted taking classes at Kentucky in order to apparently get his official undergraduate degree. You can also find him on Twitter here.

Popularity of Combat Action Play
There's no shortage of players in combat simulation video games such as that of the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises. With each new title, more and more combat enthusiasts try their hands at first person shooter games, turning even the most unlikely of people into military heroes, if only in their fantasies. As technology progresses and games become more advanced, even true-life war fighters are finding the games fun, and sometimes frustrating, as they get fragged by hidden talents in these realistic simulations.
Those that prefer live action play will always direct themselves towards live combat action role playing (LCARP) using replica guns that shoot tiny plastic pellets or reenact through paintball combat. Much like the video games, both types of live action activities are usually played in some kind of staged arena with life-sized obstacles, barriers, and hiding places where each team eliminates the other by playing out combat roles towards a common objective. While the interest in live action play for the video game enthusiast is rising, there is a huge gap when playing with a controller and that of an actual mock weapon.
Bringing Video Games to Real Life
For 17 year-old Josh Moody, bridging that gap has become his primary mission. Moody, a paintball combat enthusiast as well as an avid gamer has started a company called Innovis Labs. The Bentonville, Arkansas teen developed a cell phone application that is aptly named Project Overwatch. The purpose of the app is to be able to apply the benefits of the first-person shooter advantage in video games to real-life applications.
In video games, a player often has an assortment of tools that help them accomplish their mission. One of the most commonly used and most helpful tool is the inclusion of an area map. The map generally lists the locations of the objective, your teammates, as well the location of any obstacles. Some maps include a general location of your enemies that you may have to encounter on your mission.
Project Overwatch uses live Global Positioning Systems and WiFi to generate a map of the playing arena complete with obstacles, objectives, and for those connected to the grid; player locations. The application then transmits this information between team members as well as allows them to communicate with each other. All by using their iPhone or Android smart phones.
How it Works
By implementing the use of 4G and other data transmitting protocols, the Project Overwatch app will allow players to communicate in any area where a signal is received. This opens the doors for players to engage in airsoft or paintball combat just about anywhere they want to play. Additional features such as "radar jamming," where the players can scramble their signal so that only their team can see them on the map, are also in the development works and will be added on as a premium feature. The basic application, however, will be free to download.

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- A judge on Thursday denied bail for former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a friend.
Hernandez's lawyer argued that Hernandez is not a risk to flee and the case against him is circumstantial.
But a prosecutor said the evidence is "overwhelming." A search of a condo leased by Hernandez turned up an ammunition clip matching the caliber of casings found at the scene of the killing of Odin Lloyd, the prosecutor said.
Lloyd's body was discovered by a jogger in a remote area of an industrial park not far from Hernandez's home 10 days ago. He has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors called Lloyd's killing an execution-style shooting orchestrated by Hernandez because his friend talked to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez could face life in prison, if convicted.
Hernandez was cut from the NFL team less than two hours after he was arrested and led from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs, and nine days after Lloyd's body was discovered. The 2011 Pro Bowl selection had signed a five-year contract last summer with the Patriots worth $40 million.
Another man, Carlos Ortiz, 27, was arrested Wednesday in Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Conn., as part of the murder investigation, New Britain State's Attorney Brian Preleski said Thursday. Ortiz was charged as a fugitive from justice and waived extradition to Massachusetts. Prison records show he is being held on $1.5 million bail at a Hartford jail.
Ortiz's public defender, Alfonzo Sirica, declined to comment about the case.
Lloyd, 27, a semipro football player with the Boston Bandits, had known Hernandez for about a year and was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, the mother of Hernandez's 8-month-old baby, Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley said. McCauley said Lloyd was shot multiple times.
At 3:29 a.m., surveillance at Hernandez's house showed him arriving and walking through the house with a gun in his hand, McCauley said.
On Thursday night, Massachusetts state police said they were seeking another man, Ernest Wallace, in connection with Lloyd's killing. They issued an alert and wanted poster for Wallace, saying he was considered armed and dangerous, and sought the public's help in tracking down a silver or gray 2012 Chrysler 300 with Rhode Island license plates he was seen driving.
The New York Times reported that Hernandez is also being investigated as the possible gunman in a double homicide in Boston in 2012, according to a law enforcement official. A second law enforcement official confirmed that Hernandez has been connected to the homicides, which occurred after a fight in a Boston nightclub.
Earlier Thursday, the NFL told its teams that any player contract they enter into with Hernandez before charges against him are resolved won't be approved without a hearing by commissioner Roger Goodell.
The league said the hearing would be to decide if the former Patriots tight end should be suspended or face other action before a resolution of the charges is reached. It said no player contract with Hernandez would take effect before a hearing.
The New York Times contributed to this report.

Wondering what to wear this summer? Get the latest facts before you buy your next sunscreen.
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
WebMD Feature
What's the Best Sunscreen?
Choosing a sunscreen isn't as simple as it used to be.
The next generation of sunscreens is just hitting the market -- including L'Oreal's Anthelios SX and products containing Helioplex -- designed to offer fuller protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Given all the new options, how do you know which is the best sunscreen for you?
"For most people, trying to compare one sunscreen to another can be complicated," says David J. Leffell, MD, professor of dermatology and surgery at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn.
While choosing the best sunscreen is important, perhaps even more crucial is using it correctly -- something a lot of us don't do, says Henry W. Lim, MD, chair of the department of dermatology at the Henry Ford Medical Center in Detroit. So before you plop down on the lawn chair -- or take the kids to the beach -- here are the sunscreen facts.
Finding the Best Sunscreen
Sunscreens help shield you from the sun's dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays in two ways. Some work by scattering the light, reflecting it away from your body. Others absorb the UV rays before they reach your skin.
A few years ago, choosing a good sunscreen meant you just looked for a high sun protection factor (SPF) -- which rates how well the sunscreen protects against one type of cancer-causing UV ray, ultraviolet B (UVB.) "SPF refers to blockage of UVB rays only," says Leffell.
Research soon showed that ultraviolet A rays (UVA) also increase skin cancer risk. While UVA rays don't cause sunburn, they penetrate deeply into skin and cause wrinkles. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that up to 90% of skin changes associated with aging are really caused by a lifetime's exposure to UVA rays.
The New Broad-Spectrum Sunscreens
So which is the best sunscreen for you? Clearly, you'll want a sunscreen with broad-spectrum or multi-spectrum protection for both UVB and UVA. Ingredients with broad-spectrum protection include benzophenones (oxybenzone), cinnamates (octylmethyl cinnamate and cinoxate), sulisobenzone, salicylates, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone (Parsol 1789) and ecamsule (Mexoryl SX).
SPF 15 or higher for UVB protection. The SPF factor rates how effective the sunscreen is in preventing sunburn caused by UVB rays. If you'd normally burn in 10 minutes, SPF 15 multiplies that by a factor of 15, meaning you could go 150 minutes before burning.
For the vast majority of people, SPF 15 is fine, Leffell tells WebMD. But people who have very fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, or conditions like lupus that increase sensitivity to sunlight should consider SPF 30 or higher.
Keep in mind that the higher the SPF, the smaller the increased benefit: contrary to what you might think, SPF 30 isn't twice as strong as SPF 15. While SPF 15 filters out 93% of UVB, SPF 30 filters out 97%, only a slight improvement.
UVA protection. There is no rating to tell you how good a sunscreen is at blocking UVA rays, says Leffell. So when it comes to UVA protection, you need to pay attention to the ingredients.
Look for a sunscreen that contains at least one of the following, Leffell says: ecamsule, avobenzone, oxybenzone, titanium dioxide, sulisobenzone, or zinc oxide. Any of those should do the trick.
Ecamsule. One newly approved ingredient that blocks UVA is ecamsule. It's been available in Europe and Canada, as Mexoryl SX, since 1993. In the U.S., ecamsule is now sold in L'Oreal's Anthelios SX products. It isn't cheap. A 3.4 ounce tube -- barely enough for 4 full-body applications -- can run $30.
Avobenzone. Neutrogena's Helioplex isn't really a new ingredient; it's a "stabilized" version of a common UVA-blocker called avobenzone (or Parsol 1789). Unless it's stabilized, avobenzone breaks down when exposed to sunlight -- exactly what you don't want in a sunscreen. You'll find stabilized avobenzone in other sunscreens, too, like Active Photo Barrier Complex and Dermaplex.
Some of the excitement about these new products is advertising hype, says Leffell. For instance, any brand-name sunscreen that has avobenzone is stabilized. If you want to spend $30 on a bottle of sunscreen, go ahead. But you can get equally good protection for a lot less.
Titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Less expensive options for UVA protection have been available for a long time, the experts tell WebMD. Old sunscreens with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide used to make people look pale and ghostly, says Fairbrother. But newer manufacturing techniques have resolved the problem, she says.
Water and sweat resistance. If you're going to be exercising or in the water, it's worth getting a sunscreen resistant to water and sweat.
But understand what this really means. The FDA defines water resistant sunscreen as meaning that the SPF level stays effective after 40 minutes in the water. Very water resistant means it holds after 80 minutes of swimming. These sunscreens are in no way water-proof, so you'll need to reapply them regularly if you're taking a dip.
A brand you like. Even if a brand is recommended by all the experts, if you don't like it, you're not going to use it, says Karrie Fairbrother, RN, president-elect of the Dermatology Nurses Association. Personal preference is really important.
Kid-friendly sunscreen. The sensitive skin of babies and children is easily irritated by chemicals in adult sunscreens, so avoid sunscreens with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and benzephenones like dioxybenzone, oxybenzone, or sulisobenzone. Children's sunscreens use ingredients less likely to irritate the skin, like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Unlike chemical ingredients, these protect babies' skin without being absorbed, Fairbrother says.
For kids 6 months or older, look for a sunscreen designed for children with an SPF of 15 or higher. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies under 6 months be kept out of the sun altogether.
- Sunscreen for skin problems or allergies. People who have sensitive skin or skin conditions like rosacea may also benefit from using sunscreens designed for children. Go for titanium dioxide or zinc oxide instead of chemicals like para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), dioxybenzone, oxybenzone, or sulisobenzone. If you have skin irritation or allergies, avoid sunscreens with alcohol, fragrances, or preservatives.
Other sunscreens include moisturizers or other ingredients for people with dry or oily skin. As long as they meet the UVA and UVB requirements above, you can give them a try and see what works best.

Men and women who do not want to be dismayed - shaken by the storms and conflicts of life, but strong enough in character to stand for what God says is right and true?

We're in the process of painting the inside of our house (which means my husband paints and I mostly stay out of the way lest I find myself with a paint roller in my hand).

Only my daughter, Laura, has the power to get me to eat a raw quail egg. We did so last Thursday night at our favorite sushi restaurant in Charlotte, N.C., where she lives. I was in town for a conference.
It's been five years since she moved away from home, and I think I've finally, finally, finally (maybe) stopped thinking of her as some wild feral child who needs me hovering over her, guiding her every move, breath, decision and thought.
She's 25 now, making more money than I am, finishing her fifth year of a two-year college, dating a guy who treats her well.
