My MSN specialized in Nursing Education and my teaching interests include the adult learner and creative teaching strategies such as the online learning environment. My nursing experience includes medical/surgical, emergency nursing, obstetrics - including labor and delivery, newborn care, and postpartum care - and occupational health and wellness nursing. I remain connected to obstetrics through teaching a childbirth and breastfeeding education class to expectant mothers.
I am raising my family in a rural community and have a passion for quality rural health care that meets the needs of all community members. I am a hockey mom who loves spending time with my husband and children on our boat and camping - we try to laugh with each other every single day.
My teaching philosophy is based on the concept that learning needs to be centered on each individual student while encouraging them to be self-motivated to maximize their learning opportunities. My role as a learner-centered instructor is to foster a positive learning environment that facilitates student learning through the use of multiple types of teaching exercises and activities (Blumberg, 2009). Active participation in learning encourages students to become critical thinkers which is an essential part of the nursing process that cannot be learned by instructors telling students what they need to know, rather this skill is built through student interaction in classroom activities that builds on students knowledge (Billings Halstead, 2009).
I believe personal interaction with all students and open communication that includes student-teacher dialogue creates opportunities for learning that cannot be reached through basic lecture format. Not only will I encourage open communication within the classroom setting, I will also put forth communication that is clear and concise so all students are aware of what they can expect from me as their instructor as well as what I will expect from them as the learner. I plan to incorporate a humanistic approach to my teaching style and will expect students to do the same while they are learning as this type of education encourages honesty, integrity, respect, caring, and accepting responsibility (Billings & Halstead, 2009). Using a learner-centered model with a humanistic approach encourages students of all diversities to be actively involved in classroom discussions through the use of personal stories and experiences - all of which encourage me as the instructor to be an ongoing learner. As an equal partner in the learning process, I will maintain a strong work ethic and high professional standards while remaining passionate about the field of nursing and understanding of my students individual needs and desires.

My area of specialty lies in the practice of nursing in rural areas. I have worked in arctic Alaska, critical access hospitals, and home health/hospice in remote areas. As healthcare delivery changes, and the role of nursing shifts away from acute care and into chronic disease management and health promotion, rural nurses will be invaluable links to provide quality care.
My teaching experiences begin in rural Alaska with some of the first distance delivery methods in place. It was quite interesting to teach American Heart Association CPR to Inupiat Eskimo first responders who truly understood how far away you might be from an acute care hospital setting. More recently I developed and taught on-line and traditional LPN classes at Itasca Community College. Working with LPN's made me value the relationships between the levels of nursing and illuminated the emerging importance of the baccalaureuate prepared nurse in the workfoce today. Currently I teach Leadership courses for the undergraduate nursing program helping students see the complex relationships between healthcare policy, cost of care delivery, and the unique role of each staff nurse as a leader. All nurses are leaders.
As the Chair of the Traditional Track in the Undergraduate Nursing Program I seek to inspire our faculty team to find the best way to educate the nurses of the future, teaching students to blend skills in technology with compassionate, holistic, quality care. We seek to create nurses who are strong patient advocates, nurses who use the Benedictine values as part of their anchor for moral decision making, and finally nurses who are able to seek answers rooted in Evidence Based Practice. As healthcare becomes increasingly complex, the nurses of the future are called to imagine new delivery care models. Imagination and problem solving can be stimulated by accessing a liberal arts foundation.
My outside interests include experimentation in a broad range of textile arts, extensive travel abroad, and the production and cooking of local foods.
I manage the clinicals for nursing students in the undergraduate and post-baccauluareate programs. I place students in clinical sites and troubleshoot issues; I interface with the clinical facilities; and I hire and provide basic orientation of adjunct faculty. I also oversee the program-wide testing that is done. As a trained philosopher I teach occasionally in the philosophy department.
Susan B. Connor is a Registered Nurse (RN) with a passion for patient care and research. She retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Air Force in 2004. Her current position is as an Associate Professor at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth Minnesota. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1974 from the University of Colorado, a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of California in 1982, and a Doctorate of Philosophy from the University of Minnesota in 2013. Dr. Connor's research interests include vulnerable populations such as mothers and children, disaster response and recovery, and mixed-method designs. She is an active member of the American Nurses Association, and Sigma Theta Tau. She authored numerous journal articles and presented several papers at national and international meetings. Her goals are to continue to develop her skills as a nurse scientist and help grow the next generation of nurse innovators.
Upon graduating from St. Scholastica with a baccalaureate degree I found myself launched into a variety of wonderful practice experiences. My early nursing career was focused primarily in the care of the obstetrical and newborn client, as well as with the acutely ill hospitalized adult client, particularly those with cancer. But the pull back to St. Scholastica and to education in particular became very strong in time, and I decided to pursue a graduate degree as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Adult Nursing. This preparation afforded me the incredible opportunity to begin a career that focused on the education of nursing students. As a faculty-member in the Traditional Undergraduate Program, School of Nursing, I am privileged to work with students in a variety of venues; classroom, skills lab, simulation lab and the clinical environment.
My philosophy of teaching is to serve as an "experience facilitator" for the students I work with. Learning experiences occur in the most unexpected and unpredictable ways if one is receptive and curious. I have quickly come to realize that health care changes much too fast to prepare students for all that they are likely to encounter. If, however, I can teach students to be an effective lifelong learner, I have succeeded in teaching.
My areas of interest are family nursing, working with underserved populations, geriatrics and trans-cultural nursing. These passions reveal themselves in the stories I share with students – from the cancer ridden illegal refugee seeking asylum in the US, to the woman with no pre-natal care who arrived in my clinic ready to give birth, to the homeless teen mom with a multiply handicapped baby. Engaging the affective domain through story telling helps breach the gap between academics and humanity - the very real needs of our patients within the larger context of family, community, political/economic realities and the globe.
When not teaching, I unwind by writing, spending time with friends, and being replenished by the presence of wind and sky over our Great Lake.

Why Do I Teach?
As a nursing faculty member for the past 20 years, I have provided instruction to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students. My desire to teach nursing, as well as to practice nursing, stems from my commitment to the nursing profession. I consider it a privilege to be able to share the knowledge and experience that I have gained in my nursing career with students as they prepare to become the next generation of caregivers. As faculty members, we are charged not only with promoting student learning of the scientific facet of nursing, but we must also encourage exploration of how students will exemplify a caring presence to their future patients. I am certified through the National League for Nursing as a Certified Nurse Educator. My goal as a faculty member is to be an excellent role model for students and one who encourages them to perform at their highest potential and represent the nursing profession well. I am very excited to work with students in the RN to BS Nursing program at the College of St. Scholastica.

Professor Knuths' clinical background includes critical care nursing, healthcare administration and healthcare research. She teaches the medical- surgical clinical rotation and in the Skills and Simulation Laboratory for the Traditional Undergraduate Nursing program. Her teaching philosophy includes the understanding that people must be actively engaged in their learning in order to effectively grow in knowledge and skill. Students also need to be supported with respect and compassion while challenged to reach higher and go farther. Nurses need scientific knowledge, technical skill, and ethical values in addition to the desire to help others in order to be effecive, safe practitioners. Professor Knuths is pursuing doctoral studies at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, with a research focus in simulation education.
When I started college, I was a business major. During my sophomore year, I switched to nursing and it was the best decision that I have ever made! As a graduate of the CSS nursing program, I can appreciate the history and reputation of the College. Nursing has proven to be a fulfilling career that has taken me in many professional directions. As a staff nurse on a post-coronary care unit for 10 years, I had the opportunity to care for patients, be a mentor/ preceptor and charge nurse. I went back to school and received my Master's degree and worked as an acute care nurse practitioner in cardiology and primary care. Now, I have the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with students to help educate a workforce of future professional nurses.
My philosophy of teaching is that, as nurses, we get to care for individuals, with our hands and our hearts, at the most vulnerable times in their lives. It is a responsibility and privilege that should not be taken lightly. In order for students to feel confident and competent in caring for patients, we need to prepare them for real-life clinical situations. My primary responsibility is to coordinate and teach in the skills and simulation labs for the School of Nursing. Students participate in classes that allow them to practice not only the hands-on skills that they will use in the hospital setting but also to practice professional behaviors and therapeutic communication. We are able to combine technology, through use of high fidelity, interactive manikins, with the fundamentals of holistic, baccalaureate nursing practice as well as the Benedictine values to engage students in realistic, simulated patient-care experiences. Students progress through increasingly complex skills from sophomore year when they learn basic health assessment until the senior year when they learn to respond to life-threatening situations. Helping students to integrate nursing theory, critical thinking and technical skills has been my most rewarding career yet.

Josey believes that learning is most successful in a respectful, honest and challenging environment.
Patricia Nielsen, known to all of us as "PZ" is celebrating her thirty-fifth year in nursing. She has a Bachelor's Degree in psychology from Eisenhower College, an Associates Degree in Nursing from the State University of New York - Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, New York, a Master's of Science Degree from Yale University, where she became a Cardiovascular Clinical Nurse Specialist. After several years of practice PZ completed the Family Nurse Practitioner Program at Regis University in Denver. PZ started out as a staff nurse in the VA system working on a medical-neurological unit and after a few months, moved into intensive care nursing. Upon completing her master's degree, PZ held several positions in nursing education and nursing administration. Her highest level of achievement in that area was as Acting Vice President for Nursing Practice at a private 300 bed hospital in California. Other parts of her eclectic career that she recalls with great joy include working at a destination ski area in Colorado, providing primary care at a large HMO in the Denver area and now being a faculty member of the Nursing team at the College of St. Scholastica. PZ has received three Bush grants to develop online courses using a WebCT platform and was hired by the Minnesota Partnerships for training to develop an online WebCT based graduate research class. Recently she and a group of post baccalaureate nursing students spent two weeks in Belize providing health care to impoverished indigenous peoples. When asked what she has liked the best, PZ responds, "the patients and the students."
Academic interests extend from teaching about middle range theories that describe advanced nursing practice to teaching about quality improvement approaches that enhance outcomes of advanced nursing practice. Research interests center on understanding which kinds of nursing interventions facilitate family transitions of Mexican American families in South Texas. While in South Texas and Arizona each year I enjoy seeing friends and acquaintances once again as well as hiking, birding, and eating regional food.
As an advisor for the Non Traditional Nursing Program, I am responsible for supporting online students from time of acceptance to the College through the time of graduation. I am the student's professional point of contact with the College and to assist students with all academic matters. I provide an orientation to all new students to ensure they have the information they need to be successful in the online program.
As a practicing Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I have developed a passion for working with people who are living with a variety of mental illnesses. This field of nursing has a lot to offer with it's unique experiences and varied settings. The mentally ill are one of the most underserved populations in the country; and, while the number of people diagnosed with mental illnesses continues to grow, the number of nurses who work with this population are declining.
From an academic perspective, I would like to bring more focus to mental health issues of adults and better educate nursing students to work with them in a clinical setting. Current trends show that many patients in the hospital have a psychiatric illness that coincides with their medical problems and makes it more difficult to provide effective care for them. Students need to be able to identify these patients and develop nursing interventions specific to their medical and mental health needs to ensure optimal healing.
I believe that students learn and retain material better if they can find a meaningful connection between the material and their life experiences. It is that belief that drives my use of active learning in the classroom and clinical settings. Rather than using a traditional style of lecture, I have students complete the reading and other individual assignments outside of class, so we can focus on applying the material during class. I provide a variety of real life examples during class to help students make emotional connections with the material being discussed. In addition, I offer a clinical experience that is guided by nurses working in mental health, so students are able to participate first hand in caring for patients with mental illnesses.
Chair of the Post-baccalaureate nursing program since 2007. I am a Certified Nurse Practitioner in pediatrics with over twenty years of pediatric experience. Teaching interests include adult learners, curriculum development and evaluation, and active, collaborative teaching strategies.

Enjoys sewing, reading, and hiking in the north woods with her husband and three dogs.
I am a Certified Nurse Practitioner in Pediatrics with over 15 years of experience working with children, primarily in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. As faculty at CSS I hope to bring my enthusiasm in working with children to the nursing students, teaching them how rewarding, challenging, and exciting the world of pediatrics is! I teach in the traditional undergraduate nursing in a variety of settings including classroom, clinicals, and lab. Outside of work I love spending time with my family, camping, biking, running, and swimming.

I am a Registered Nurse and Veteran with experience in multiple roles including pre-hospital, flight and military medicine, emergency and critical-care nursing, as well as nursing education and leadership. I served in the United States Air Force and Minnesota Air National Guard as both a fixed-wing flight medic and flight and operational medic, and am now a Registered Nurse with the 133rd Airlift Wing as a member of a joint Army and Air Force disaster/mass casualty response unit (CERFP).
My current role at CSS is as the Veteran Clinical Liaison for the Veteran to BS in Nursing program. My job is to serve as the sole clinical instructor for cohorts of Veteran and service-connected nursing students throughout their entire academic progression in the undergraduate nursing program. My goal is to help train Veterans to be excellent nurses who are able to continue to serve their community after their uniformed service to their country is complete. I strongly believe that the formation and use of Veteran cohorts will help provide our students with a sense of community and esprit de corps that many may find lacking as they transition into the civilian world, as well as allow the acknowledgement and inclusion of their very unique experiences and existing skills into their nursing education.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2014 (after previously working for several years as an Associate Degree Nurse), and will complete a Master of Science in Family Nurse Practice in 2017 from Simmons College in Boston, MA. I am an active member of the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society of Nursing and the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, from whom I currently hold a certification in Adult Acute and Critical Care Nursing.
My hobbies include reading, running, spending time with my young family, and coaching rugby for both the men's and women's teams at the College of St. Scholastica.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Secretary of
State Beth Chapman announced today that Alabama's military and overseas voters,
for the first time in history, will have a faster and more convenient way to
receive their absentee ballots for November's federal elections through the use
of electronic transmission.
The state has signed a contract with
Scytl USA that will allow for the electronic transmission of ballots to
military and overseas voters only. This change, which Chapman has
strongly supported for years, is now required under a new federal law aimed at
reducing the amount of time it takes for military and overseas voters to
receive their absentee ballots for federal elections.
"This will ensure that members of
our military have more time to cast their ballots, send them back home and most
importantly, have them counted," Chapman said.
Chapman has been a state
and national leader in ensuring that our military members have a more efficient
way to vote, including testifying before a congressional committee on the
issue. She also created and chaired Alabama's Military and Overseas
Voting Task Force. "It is of the utmost importance that those who defend our
freedoms and our right to vote have their votes counted," Chapman said.
Under the new law,
Alabama's military voters will be able to receive their absentee ballots for
federal elections much more quickly via electronic means. "We will continue to
work to provide the most convenient voting methods possible for our men and
women in uniform. It is the least we can do for them," Chapman concluded.

Over in the USA, the NFL's San Diego Chargers have been accused of covering their hands in a glue-like substance to help them catch the ball.
The idea of covering receivers' hands with a sticky coating first popped up in the late 1970s with the invention of a product called Stickum, which is a powder (or aerosol) that gives you massively increased grip.
It has been banned in American football since 1981, but the Chargers have reportedly been accused of trying it again.
The Chargers' coach Norv Turner has vehemently denied everything, but whatever the truth we couldn't help thinking that it was an ingenious way to try and get an edge.
So with that in mind, we decided to look back at sport's most cunning cheats. Some were caught. Some were not. All have inspired not just anger and outrage, but also just a little admiration for their lateral thinking.

Marathon - Rosie Ruiz
Rosie Ruiz
The only problem with her achievement? She had not even run the race.
Aged 27, Ruiz 'qualified' for Boston after being timed as coming 11th in the free-for-all New York Marathon with a time under three hours. It later transpired that she had not even run the New York race, having been spotted on the subway during the run, yet somehow wangling a finish time after reporting to a medical station near the finish.
But in Boston she pushed her luck, misjudging her fraud as she hopped over the ropes near the end of the race to win in a world-class time of two hours, 31 minutes and 56 seconds. She even pretended to collapse theatrically as she crossed the line. Nice touch.
But alarm bells immediately rang, with none of the genuine competitors remembering seeing her, organisers puzzled at how they missed her at their checkpoints, and a pair of Harvard students reporting that they actually saw her pop out of the crowd half a mile from the finish.
None of this bothered Rosie: she cheerfully gave an interview to TV sports reporters (pictured) after the finish, talking about her 'achievement'.
Her relatively unathletic build did not go unnoticed either and, after investigation, she was stripped of her gold medal and disqualified from New York too.
Her story led marathon organisers to tighten up the way athletes are monitored - they since became electronically monitored and filmed throughout major races - but she failed to learn from it, apparently involved in a series scams as she returned to a career in sales.
She was arrested on at least two occasions, once for allegedly embezzling $60,000 from a real estate company and another time for alleged involvement in a drug deal. Last heard of working as an account exec in Florida, she still maintains she ran both races.
Formula 1 - Michael Schumacher
Michael Schumacher
Turning up at the season-ending Australian Grand Prix in 1994, Schumacher led Britain's Damon Hill by a single point - but with Hill having won four of the previous five races, he was the man with momentum.
It was the German who got off to the better start, however, taking pole position and leading the race until the 36th lap. But after hitting a wall on the Adelaide street circuit it seemed likely that he'd damaged his car and continued to drive at a much reduced pace.
That left the way clear for second-placed Damon Hill to overtake and win the title. But as the British driver overtook on the inside, the German turned in sharply and the two cars collided. The damage was sufficient to put both drivers out of the race.
Despite the apparently blatant cynicism of the manoeuvre, Schumacher denied having caused the crash on purpose - leaving race stewards little choice but to give the German the benefit of the doubt, and in doing so hand him his first world championship.
Repentant? Not a bit. Schumacher denied everything with the stony-eyed resilience of a champion poker player - though some feel that he removed all doubt of his guilt when attempting an identical trick in the final race of the 1997 season.
Then, at the European Grand Prix at Jerez, Schumacher again held a narrow lead going into the final race of the season, this time with Canadian Jacques Villeneuve in second spot.
Schumacher led until lap 48, but Villeneuve had superior pace and when the Canadian overtook, the German simply drove into his opponent's car.
This time, however, Schumacher's car was the only casualty: Villeneuve was able to continue, limping home in fourth place to win the title. A subsequent tribunal in any case disqualified the German from the championship for his transparent attempt to take a superior car out of the running.
Athletics - Stanislawa Walasiewicz
Stella Walsh
She had a long and illustrious career, interrupted by World War II, and throughout her life there was no doubt about her ability - or gender, which is where the story really begins.
'Stella' was tragically killed in a botched armed robbery in Cleveland, Ohio - she was a bystander, gunned down at the age of 69. The autopsy revealed a scandal - she possessed male genitalia, with some evidence of female characteristics, and a combination of XX and XY chromosomes, a condition that would now define her as 'intersex'.
No action has been taken to erase records - modern gender testing involves complex psychological and physiological analysis, not merely a check of the crown jewels - but it was a benchmark for cases since, including South African star Caster Semenya who continues to compete legally as a woman.
Greyhound racing - The dog that cut corners
We've been unable to trace the clever dog who pulled off this trick - but for sheer chutzpah we hope that he was rewarded with a particularly juicy bone and that he went on to enjoy a glorious career.
Boris Onischchenko cheats in the fencing at the 1976 Olympics
Boris Onishchenko thought he had put himself on course for gold in the Modern Pentathlon with a seemingly brilliant performance in the fencing section.
Instead, he only managed to get Russia's entire team disqualified when he rigged his weapon to register a hit when one had not been made.
Suspicious opponents complained - among them the British competitors - and an investigation showed that he had cheated, earning Boris the unfortunate nickname of 'Disonischenko' for ever more.
Dean Richards and rugby's 'Bloodgate' affair
Tom Williams
Yet Williams's strange little wink to the bench as he trotted off was caught on camera and an investigation ultimately revealed that Quins coach (and former England star) Dean Richards had told the player to fake the injury using a joke shop blood capsule. An extraordinary web of deceit was eventually uncovered, implicating the club doctor for making unnecessary stitches to cover up the cheating, and suggesting that Harlequins threatened players with being forced out of the club if they refused to take part in the subterfuge.
Richards eventually admitted orchestrating the systematic cheating. He resigned from his job at Harlequins and served a three-year ban from international and domestic rugby.
Cycling - Henri Cornet the 1904 Tour de France
Original winner Maurice Garin was found guilty of accepting food from a race official illegally (he was also accused of sabotaging his competitors, a charge more understandabale when you hear that he was attacked several times during the race by fans and other riders' accomplices); second and third-placed Lucien Pothier and Cesar Garin were banned for apparently having used cars or trains to help them complete stages; and the magnificently-named Hippolyte Aucouturier was disqualified for attaching a wire from his bike to a car which pulled him along during several stages.
That left 19-year-old Henri Cornet as the winner. Cornet - who had completed one stage with two flat tyres after saboteurs threw tacks under his wheels - did admit to getting a lift in a car at one stage, but somehow sweet-talked his way past officials and was awarded the title. He remains the youngest winner in the history of the race.

Voters go to the polls in Mid-UlsterFriday 08 March 2013 12.13
Voting is now completed in a by-election in Mid-Ulster to elect a new Westminster MP.
The vacancy was caused by the decision of Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness to step down to concentrate on his work as Deputy First Minister.
Counting of votes is now under way and a result is due in the early hours of tomorrow.
The candidates are Sinn Féin's Francie Molloy, the SDLP's Patsy McGlone, the Alliance Party's Eric Bullick, and Nigel Lutton, who is standing as an independent with the backing of Stormont's main unionist parties.
Turnout was running at 14% by early this afternoon.

Responding to the March 12 letter, "Too many women fall for his tricks": Where does the writer get her "facts"? She has a wild imagination. First, no woman I know who supports President Obama "drools and swoons" over him. In fact, we who support the president admire and respect him.
Something else you need to accept — the majority of people, men and women. Again, the majority of men and women support the health-care program Obama put in place. It is the Affordable Care Act (your mean side calls it Obamacare). The majority even wanted more (Obama had to remove the public option due to the opposition from the right in Congress).
The dear letter writer is in the minority, and it is my hope she and others like her remain in the minority. Where does she get her facts? The Affordable Care Act will reduce health-care costs. Reduce.
No matter what Obama does, his opponents will twist it into something negative. That is their strategy. It doesn't have to be based on fact, the writer's side just says what they want, no matter how mean and inaccurate it is.
Lastly, even Obama does not like his decision to accept campaign funds from corporations, but it has become unbearably expensive to run for any elected office these days. The right-leaning Supreme Court removed reasonable limits in its Citizens United ruling, and those on that side ran with it, forcing Obama to get into that kind of fundraising.
If the writer wants to argue the ills of government and what is happening to this country, she can look in the mirror at the people on her side and she will see what is wrong.

ingredient information
Chocolate Chips Dark Organic
Dark chocolate is produced by adding fat and sugar to cacao. It is chocolate without milk as an additive. It is sometimes called "plain chocolate". The U.S. Government has no definition for dark chocolate, only "sweet chocolate", which requires a 15% concentration of chocolate liquor. Sweet chocolate is not necessarily dark chocolate as there is no restriction of milk in it. European rules specify a minimum of 35% cocoa solids Chocolate is a name given to products that are derived from cacao aka cocoa which are then mixed with some sort of fat (e.g. cocoa butter, oil) and finely powdered sugar to produce a solid edible product. It exists in several types according to the proportion of ingredients used in a particular recipe. In several instances the use of particular name designations is subject to governmental regulation. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified.

Approved Pharmacologic Treatments for NAFLD, NASH,...
Belgium-based UCB has established a research alliance with Harvard University that ultimately aims to transfer promising academic drug development research into the commercial arena, primarily in the areas of central nervous system and immunology. UCB will input its antibody generation and medicinal chemistry expertise into the alliance, and provide up to $6 million in funding over two years to support specific research projects led by Harvard scientists.
The first research project under the collaboration will focus on the development of antibodies against a target with potential applications in diseases including diabetes and metabolic disorders. The program will be headed by Gokhan S. Hotamisligil, M.D., chair of the department of genetics and complex diseases at Harvard School of Public Health.
"Harvard's world-class academic research is an excellent fit with UCB's world-class antibody research and central nervous system pharmacology," states Ismail Kola, president of UCB NewMedicines. "Both parties will learn from each other through the collaboration and a two-way exchange of ideas. Harvard will benefit from UCB's strengths and industry experience in drug discovery and development, while Harvard's exceptional research will complement UCB's internal expertise."

At approximately 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Sikeston Department of Public Safety, along with members of the Scott County Sheriff's Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, SEMO Drug Task Force, New Madrid County Sheriff's Department and Mississippi County Sheriff's Department began serving warrants in Sikeston. Approximately 100 law enforcement officers were involved.
"Operation Cold Turkey," was the culmination of a Scott County Grand Jury, which has been empaneled for the last 90 days. Many of these warrants were for narcotics violations and the sale of narcotics in Sikeston, DPS stated.
Law enforcement officials described the operation as a success with the arrest of approximately 40 individuals from the warrant list as well as others who were found in violation of the law during the service of the arrest warrants. Several individuals were arrested for harboring while others were arrested for the possession of narcotics during the execution of the arrest warrants.
Sikeston Department of Public Safety Director Drew Juden praised the members of the Scott County Grand Jury and the Scott County Prosecutor's Office who worked so diligently to make the operation a success and to meet the required time line so the warrants could be executed at the proper times.
"This operation shows, once again, that the city of Sikeston and surrounding areas will not tolerate or accept the on-going use of narcotics, and the sales of narcotics within our region," said Juden. "We are trying to send a message to those individuals who continue to break the law by trafficking in illegal drugs. As long as they continue to put themselves and their community at risk, we will be there to incarcerate these individuals in our facility until they decide to cease and desist with their illegal activities or to move elsewhere to conduct their business."
The DPS director offered his thanks to assisting agencies also. "It takes many hours behind the scenes to execute a complex investigation and warrant round up such as this," he said.
Those arrested in Operation Cold Turkey according to the Department of Public Safety were: Rodney Young, Elissa Baker, James Harris, Shelia Harrison, William Henry Applewhite, Antonio Johnson, Danielle Litwiller, Corrine Mack, Mary McKay, Amanda McWhirter, Kevin McWhirter, Jody Owens, William Patrick, Sharon Rayburn, Joshua Barton, Charles Berbling, Jonathan Blackmon, Aaron Brookins, Donald Chadd, Richard Chadd, Holly Chisnell, Ronald Coleman, Jeff Collins, Richard Emanuel, Herman Grant, Levi Hampton, James Roper, Cynthia Rutledge, Jonathan Schuerenberg, Jerry Summers, Daniel Thompson, Raynette Turner, Rick Wallace, Laketa Williams and Brenda Williamson.
DPS did not make available the list of charges for each individual.

I was having lunch at a local diner and as a man and his wife were leaving, I noticed a military insignia on his cap. I asked about it, and he told me that he served in the Marine Corps and that his son was presently serving as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps. I mentioned that I tried to get into the Marine Corps during World War II, but failed because of my eyes and had to wait for the Army to take me.
As I went to pay for my lunch, the waitress told me that the bill was already taken care of by a couple that had just left.
It was a very nice gesture on their part, and I truly feel good about it.

(Sep. 09, 2013)
Keeping the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. alive, the King Center Imaging Project Exhibit was showcased on the National Mall as part of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August.
The imaging project, which has digitized more than 200,000 documents from Dr. King and other notable American civil rights leaders, was funded and coordinated by JPMorgan Chase through the firm's Technology for Social Good program.
Inspiring, beautiful and educational were some of the words used to describe the vast digital archive of Dr. King's documents by the more than 12,000 visitors to the exhibit. While many visitors were surprised by the scale of the project, others were brought to tears as they walked through the exhibit, which also offered a space to share stories of the past and present. Some visitors commented that Dr. King would have been honored to have his correspondence shared with the world.
Crowd at Dream Wall
Dr. King's son, Martin Luther King III, visited the exhibit and was moved when he read a telegram sent by his father to his sister, Yolanda, on her birthday. In the telegram, Dr. King explained that he would be unable to attend her birthday as he was away "fighting" for civil rights.
In addition to Martin Luther King III, other VIP visitors to the exhibit included Ambassador Andrew Young, Dick Gregory, and Mayor Vincent C. Gray.
One of the exhibit's highlights was the large "My Dream Is" wall, which featured thousands of dreams handwritten by visitors ranging in age from 3 years old to 90. Digital kiosks also allowed visitors to submit their dreams directly on the King Center website.
Technology for Social Good combined all three of the traveling MLK exhibits for the 50th anniversary weekend activities to accommodate the large crowds. Volunteers supporting the MLK exhibits logged more than 200 hours over the weekend to ensure visitors had a meaningful experience.
Many visitors pledged to share the King Center's website address (www.thekingcenter.org) so that the work of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders can continue to inspire all people to work towards equality and a better future.
Technology for Social Good encourages you to share this website address with your clients and families.

Practical advice about raising children
by Faith Moser
Our children's easy, go-to breakfast on weekday mornings are organic cereal bars. They love them and request them every day. After a little label reading it became very clear why they love them so much! They are LOADED with sugar. I am trying to reduce our family's sugar intake, so I decided to come up with a cereal bar alternative that was low in sugar and high in protein and nutrition (and of course, deliciousness!). This breakfast cookie fits the bill! It is so scrumptious that they are almost addictive. They also are far more nutritious than the average cereal bar sold everywhere. Made with almond flour, oats, walnuts, cherries and chunks of dark chocolate, this recipe will quickly become a family favorite! Feel free to tinker with your families personal preferences! Replace the cherries with cranberries, dates, raisins or banana chips, or the chia seeds with flax, pumpkin, sunflower or sesame seeds.

Two former General Motors Co. plant sites in Ohio and one in Michigan have been sold to development firms, a trust created by a U.S. Bankruptcy Court said Wednesday.
The Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response Trust created in March to clean up, redevelop and sell 89 former GM properties in 14 states didn't release the amounts of the transactions.
A former assembly plant site in Moraine in southwest Ohio was sold to Downey, Calif.-based Industrial Realty Group (IRG), and a former transmission plant site in Parma in northeast Ohio was sold to Solon, Ohio-based 54 Chevy LLC, the trust said in a statement. A former stamping plant site in Wyoming, Mich., was sold to West Bloomfield, Mich.-based Lormax Stern Development Co.
"The sale of these properties creates a tremendous opportunity for economic growth in these communities," Bruce Rasher, redevelopment manager of the trust, said.
IRG plans to divide the Moraine site of approximately 400 acres, including a 4-million-square-foot building, among multiple tenants that would employ up to 2,000 people, the trust said. In Parma, a suburb of Cleveland, 54 Chevy LLC plans to redevelop the 60-acre site to attract jobs to the community, the trust said.
Lormax Stern, the developer that purchased the 88-acre former GM Grand Rapids Stamping Plant site, has provided the property to the city of Wyoming for a token $1 as part of a public-private partnership, the trust said. The 2.6 million-square-foot building will be torn down, and a nonprofit economic development organization will market the property for redevelopment.
"Our focus from the beginning has been to put people who lost jobs when the stamping plant closed back to work, and the redevelopment of this site will help to accomplish that goal," Wyoming City Manager Curtis Holt said.
Parma Mayor Dean DePiero and Moraine City Manager Dave Hicks said their cities also are looking forward to the sites' redevelopment as a way to bring jobs back to their communities.
The sites are the first of the 89 properties to be sold, and the proceeds will be used to help cover costs related to owning, maintaining and marketing the remaining properties left behind in the Detroit-based automaker's 2009 bankruptcy, trust spokesman Bill Richmond said.
The trust was established through a settlement agreement between the federal government, 14 states and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe that owns land adjoining one of the sites in New York.

CU-BOULDER NAMED AMONG BEST IN THE NATION FOR SERVICE LEARNING, CIVIC ACTIVISMMay 3, 2005
The University of Colorado at Boulder has been selected for
inclusion in a new book, "Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement," to be published in June.
The book is designed to provide information to prospective and
current students by showcasing institutions that offer many opportunities
for students to improve community life and demonstrate social
CU-Boulder, the only school selected in Colorado, was named for its
exemplary work in civic engagement along with 80 other national institutions of higher education.
"This selection is a great recognition of our service learning and
civic engagement programs and will help support our efforts to make civic
and ethical engagement a core part of the education here at CU-Boulder,"
said Peter Simons, coordinator of the proposed Institute for Ethical and
Civic Engagement.
Simons is working with a steering committee of faculty, staff, students and community representatives to coordinate the development of the new institute on the Boulder campus. The initiative has raised $600,000 to
help fund programs that integrate ethical and civic education throughout the curriculum, co-curricular programs and campus culture. The proposed institute recently awarded its first 10 grants and is helping fund a model project at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
"Colleges with a Conscience" will include a two-page profile on each
campus, focusing on programs and practices that support student engagement. Examples of CU-Boulder programs include the Americorps Education Award Program, Business and Society Initiative at the Leeds School of Business, Chancellor's Leadership Residential Academic Program's Service Initiative and Ethnic Living and Learning Community, Continuing Education Outreach Awards, CU-LEAD Alliance and Scholarship Program, Engineers Without Borders, Farrand Residential Academic Program, INVST Community Studies, President's Leadership Class, Puksta Scholars Program, Service Learning Center and
Volunteer Clearing House.
Publication of "Colleges with a Conscience" is a joint effort among
Campus Compact, the Princeton Review and Random House Inc. and will be available in bookstores June 21. Finalists were selected based on survey responses from state offices, national staff, students, national student organizations and experts in the field of service learning.
Campus Compact is a national coalition of more than 950 college and
university presidents committed to the civic purposes of higher education,
which includes creating a supportive campus environment for the engagement in community service and preparing students to be active, committed and informed citizens and leaders of their communities.
For more information on CU-Boulder's Institute for Ethical and Civic
Engagement contact Simons at (303) 492-1962 or email@example.com.

Civil War for the Soul
By Rabbi Mark Borovitz
I have been engaged in a great civil war, most of my life. I call this a civil war because it is a war I fight, or give in to, each day inside of me. It is a war for and of my soul. It is a war for living decently and doing the next right thing. It is a war for not "losing it" and becoming bombastic. It is a war for the "both/and" of life.
Last night I had the honor of leading a Minyan (prayer service) for Robert "Bobby" Rosen. Bobby was a man I knew, not a famous man, and a REAL man! He embraced everyone, didn't care about fame or fortune. He didn't care about anything except being a decent person who truly, as we are taught, loved his neighbor as he loved himself. He treated the stranger well and cared for all he encountered. At a memorial celebrating his life, in Florida where he lived, people from all walks of life attended and spoke stories of his warmth and kindness. I was reminded of my father and grandfathers and those generations of men who just embraced life and people. Bobby taught us all how to live well by the way he lived. His children and grandchildren extolled him in life and in death. They honor him by living his principles and values.
Thinking about Bobby brought me to the realization of this civil war that I am engaged in. I don't embrace everyone, unfortunately. I get bombastic and angry at people instead of embracing them. When this happens, I am losing this civil war. "But you are a Rabbi," people say to me. This is true and I am a human being. Bobby's generation, my father's generation, is/was "The Greatest Generation" according to Tom Brokaw. Their greatness wasn't in their fame and fortune, it wasn't even in fighting the Second World War. It was in treating people well. It was/is in embracing all people as human beings. It is/was in setting the standard of living well through deeds of loving kindness.
I am made small by Bobby's kindness and his example. I am very emotional as I write this. I see how I fall short and how I hit the mark; it is simple to live this way and very difficult. Bobby, my father, their generation all rebuked people who acted poorly and did it with a love that made their rebukes feel like embraces. I realize, this morning, again, how and where I fall short and I am so remorseful. I am committing to do better, to embrace more and to not worry about being right. I commit to embrace the "both/and" of myself and everyone else more. I ask you to honor this "Greatest Generation" with me by embracing life, people, God and living well one grain of sand more each day.

Now they will face the top-ranked Class 2 school in the state of Missouri when they host Lutheran North tomorrow at 7 p.m. in a quarterfinal game.
It's Portageville's first quarterfinal appearance since 1997. The Bulldogs went on to defeat a heavily-favored Lutheran North team that year 34-33 to reach the state semifinals. But that was a different era.
The Crusaders, winners of five state championships with the last coming in 1999, appear to be as strong as ever heading into Monday's game.
Lutheran North, a private school in St. Louis, has been ranked No. 1 all year and hasn't even come close to losing.
"While it's a nice thing to have it really doesn't mean a whole lot when you get down to this point, whether you're No. 1, No. 6 or No. 10, if you got this far then you're a pretty good football team and you better strap it on and be ready to play," said Crusader head coach Jim Manion. "That's the way we look at it. We're not enamored with our position. We just do the best we can."
The Crusaders have done fine so far as they have vanquished such high profile teams as Ste. Genevieve (41-27), MICDS (33-17) and defending Class 2 state champion John Burroughs (21-0).
And judging by their 37-13 whipping of Principia in the sectionals, the Crusaders don't appear to be losing any steam.
"I think they'll really be strong -- but we see it as a challenge," said Portageville head coach Jim McKay. "This is what you play for. We're going to have to play them eventually so it might as well be now."
Lutheran North averages 37 points per game while allowing just under 10 points per game.
The Crusaders run a balanced offense of power and option football while throwing enough to keep defenses honest. Most plays will be run out of the I-formation or split back sets.
The Bulldogs also offer up an enormous line headlined by 6-foot-7, 320-pound Tim Downs and 6-4, 310-pound Kerry Rounds.
"The main thing is they've got exceptional size on their offensive line," said McKay. "We think we've got a little size with tackles at 220 and 230. They've got tackles at 300, so it's a big difference."
Running behind the huge line is tailback Jeff Horton who has rushed for 1,674 yards while averaging almost 10 yards per carry. He has scored 18 touchdowns.
Quarterback Jon Mueller is an efficient passer, completing 40-of-88 attempts for 935 yards with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Jeff Leslie is Mueller's favorite target, catching 11 passes for 391 yards with seven scores.
"They've got good size, good speed and they've played real good competition all year," said McKay. "Of course they always have a good program. They come out of that ABC League."
Portageville offers up a power running game designed to keep the clock and the chains moving, all-the-while keeping the opponents' offense on the sidelines.
"A lot of the people they've played they've been able to take it and run at them and do it well," said Manion. "And they mix in the pass a little bit to kind of loosen them up so people can't just put nine people up in the box. The combination looks like it's worked for them pretty well."
Portageville (9-1) is coming off a heart-stopping 6-0 win against Charleston in the sectional in which the Bulldogs stopped the Bluejays on the 1-yard line with 30 seconds left to win the game.
While the win was nice, McKay expressed some obvious concerns in his offense's inability to put points on the board.
"We've had problems off and on all year in the red zone and I don't know why," said McKay. "I think we're probably getting a little too conservative and we need to spread the thing out a little bit and do a better job in the red zone. We've got to do a whole lot better job this week than we did last week."
Portageville is led by the three-headed monster at running back. Sophomore Antonio Scott leads the team with 886 yards rushing with 12 touchdowns. Senior Aaron Bidewell has 683 yards with 1
Quarterback Lance Penn has thrown for 581 yards with five scores and six interceptions.
Bidewell leads the team with 20 receptions for 353 yards and three scores.
Portageville outscores its opponents 33 to 11. It's only loss came to powerful Bruceton (Tenn.) 28-7 in Week 7.
The Crusaders will be favored once again, but like '97, they will be making the long bus trip to the Bootheel.
"From the kids' standpoint I think it's an exciting thing to be able to go someplace else and see what it's all about," said Manion. "But it can be a negative in terms of the wear and tear of having to get off the bus and then crank it up and play. It's a concern, but there's not a whole lot we can do about it. Hopefully it won't be a factor."

Pennsylvania and Ski Resorts Commit to Renewable Energy
Pennsylvania has increased its purchase of electricity from renewable sources from 10 percent to 20 percent of the state's usage. The state has modified its agreement with Community Energy Inc. to purchase 200,000 megawatt-hours of power per year, of which 60 percent will come from hydroelectric sources and 40 percent will come from wind power. This new agreement will make Pennsylvania the largest state purchaser of energy from renewable sources. See the press release from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Four ski resorts are joining Pennsylvania in making commitments to renewable energy. The owners of Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado, Okemo Mountain Resort in Vermont, and Mount Sunapee Resort in New Hampshire have entered into an agreement with Gunnison County Electric Association to purchase 27 million kilowatt-hours in renewable energy certificates from Sterling Planet. Crystal Mountain in Michigan has also committed to wind energy and will power its chairlifts with wind power purchased from Cherryland Electric, with the goal of eventually powering the entire resort with renewable energy. These resorts follow on the heels of Vail Mountain Resorts, which recently announced that it would buy enough renewable energy certificates to provide 100 percent of its power. See the press releases from Crested Butte Mountain Resort and Crystal Mountain, as well as the Vail Mountain Resorts story from the August 9th issue of EERE Network News.

The Mayor of Casterbridge
by Thomas Hardy
The Mayor of Casterbridge Chapter 8 Summary
- Elizabeth-Jane and Susan stop eavesdropping through the wall and sit down to eat their supper.
- Susan is glad to have overheard Henchard mention that he's given up drinking and that he's ashamed of something he did in the past. She assumes (rightly) that he's referring to the whole wife-auction incident.
- Elizabeth-Jane carries down their dinner tray and sees that the young man, Farfrae, is in the main room of the inn with the townspeople who hang out there.
- He's singing a Scottish song and chatting with people.
- Everyone loves his singing and asks for more songs.
- Most of the songs he sings are about loving his homeland.
- Elizabeth-Jane thinks he has the most beautiful voice ever.
- Later he passes Elizabeth-Jane in the stairwell and sings a few lines of a song about a pretty girl to her.
- She blushes and runs back to her room.
- Her mother is worried that Elizabeth-Jane shouldn't have helped out as a waitress. If they do introduce themselves to Henchard, it might embarrass him that his "distant relatives by marriage" helped at an inn.
- But Elizabeth-Jane can't focus on her mother's worries – she keeps thinking about how well-educated and kind the Scottish young man seemed.
- Henchard goes home wishing that he'd been able to persuade the young man to stay – partly because he does need a manager for his grain business, and partly because he's lonely and he liked the young man personally.

Success Stories
/ The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) and Public Lands Showcase – a Great Partnersh
Loading Tree...
WRP, more formally known as the Wetlands Reserve Program, is a voluntary cost share program aimed at restoring wetlands that have been altered for agricultural purposes. The primary objective of WRP is to restore natural hydrology, to the extent practical, of degraded wetlands for the benefit of wildlife including waterfowl, wading birds and endangered and threatened species. On non-federal public land, where the property is already in conservation or planned to be, NRCS typically utilizes CSO restoration agreements to assist state and local governments restore wetland habitats.
There are several reasons why WRP on non-federal public lands produces a great partnership for all involved. From NRCS's perspective, it stretches WRP dollars farther than when used on private lands because no easement is purchased and 25% of the restoration cost is incurred by the partner agency. Also, working with conservation partners on CSO restoration agreements reduces the amount of administrative overheard required by NRCS because the partner agency usually takes on the responsibility of designing and constructing the restored wetland. In addition, projects undertaken by state and local government partners typically progress faster because the primary purpose of the property is restoration and conservation.
From the partner agency's perspective, WRP is a great opportunity because they get financial assistance for their restoration projects. For some state and local governments, especially those with limited budgets, this means being able to do restoration projects they may not have been able to accomplish with their current funding or the opportunity to expand the scope of work on planned restoration projects beyond what their initial budgets would have allowed.
From the general public's perspective, WRP on public land is a great prospect because the public gets the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of wetland restoration, paid for by local, state and federal tax dollars, through recreational activities such as hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing.
Utilization of WRP on public lands in Florida has been highly effective. So effective in fact that Florida has the largest non-easement (Mallory Swamp, Lafayette Co. - 29,463 acres) and easement (Allapattah Ranch, Martin Co. - 15,370 acres) WRP projects in the United States, both on public lands. One reason WRP has been used so extensively on public lands in Florida is because of the extremely high land values found throughout the state. Understandably, private landowners are hesitant to offer conservation easements on their properties when land values have skyrocketed to tens of thousands of dollars per acre. NRCS in Florida has found a way to deal with this by utilizing WRP dollars on non-federal public lands with willing local and state agency partners in a great partnership effort to put conservation on the ground.

Comments about Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Under Make-up Primer, Ethereal, 2 oz:
I am devoted to Lauras champagne spackle- love the glow to it. The etheral is a new one I saw on a shopping channel and bought it here. I really like it- it has a pearl opalessence to it. you have to use it with a light hand. It has a light pink color to it too.I honestly do not think it is an issue because it is so light. Between the two I will stick with champagne as my number one- I like the finish better no pearl..this one would be my second favorite. Same smooth finish and long lasting as the others. The pearl may be a little much for some.

Having received a number of enquiries from games retailers, industry, press and public alike, the VSC, in an effort to provide greater clarity, can now give some additional information on how their position as the new UK video game regulator will affect the regulation of video games in the future.
The main points to note are:
The Video Standards Council (VSC), which administers the PEGI ratings system in the UK, will become the UK's sole statutory video games regulator
Video games rated PEGI 3 and 7 remain advisory
Video games rated PEGI 12, 16 and 18 will become mandatory and enforceable under the law. Games rated at these categories must not be supplied to persons below the age-restriction shown on the packaging. Failure to do so may result in heavy fines or, in severe cases, even imprisonment. The law applies to online retailers as well as high street stores.
Mandatory age-ratings for video games are nothing new for UK retailers who have already had to deal with games classified 15 and 18 (and some classified 12) by the BBFC. Mandatory PEGI ratings should place no significant additional burden on retailers; PEGI ratings have essentially been treated as legally enforceable by many retailers for some years.
Neither PEGI nor VSC is an enforcement agency. In the UK, any breaches of the law will be prosecuted by Trading Standards Officials.
A video game containing very explicit sexual material that would normally attain a BBFC R18 (Restricted 18) category will still have to be submitted to the BBFC for classification.
The new regulations will not apply to video games on the market prior to the formal designation of the VSC as statutory regulator. The new regulations are not retrospective.

Fukushima Watch: Anti-Nuclear Activists Unimpressed by Meeting With PM
After almost five months of protesting outside Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's official residence in downtown Tokyo, anti-nuclear activists finally got inside for an audience with Mr. Noda himself Wednesday. But following the 30-minute meeting, the activists were unimpressed.
Compared with the boisterous, weekly, Friday-night protests, Wednesday's meeting was subdued. The organization read its demands, which included stopping two nuclear reactors recently brought back online after regular maintenance, forgoing all future restarts, committing to a national nuclear-free policy, and recalling a paper proposing officials for a new nuclear regulatory agency. Until those demands are met, the protests will continue, the activists threatened.
"Prime minister, you said: 'Never, never, never give up.' I want to say that back to you today," said one activist who goes by the name Illcommonz. "Until there is no nuclear power, I will never, never, never give up. I will not forget that accident."
A stone-faced Mr. Noda reiterated that his administration was pursuing a policy to reduce Japan's reliance on nuclear power, and had already judged the safety and necessity of the restarts.

The association of anti-nuclear groups — the Metropolitan Coalition Against Nukes — had been requesting a meeting with Mr. Noda since April. That was about when the coalition began its weekly Friday-night demonstrations to protest the restart of reactors shut down for regular maintenance after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant last year. The coalition says the number of participants at the demonstrations has grown to 200,000, while police put the number at about 20,000. Most of Japan's 50 reactors are still offline, with only two in Western Japan currently operating.
After meeting the prime minister, activists expressed disappointment.
"I don't think it resonated," said Misao Redwolf, one of the participants. "My impression of Mr. Noda is that he was someone who didn't look people in the eye."
The government will soon decide on a long-term national energy strategy, choosing from three options under consideration. One has nuclear energy accounting for 0% of Japan's total electricity production by 2030. Another has it at 15%, and a third would keep Japan's nuclear energy use at around current levels of 20%-25%. People in the government familiar with the matter have told The Wall Street Journal it is leaning toward the zero-nuclear option.
Mr. Noda said he would take the protesters' opinions into account, as well as other opinions from the public, when deciding which path to follow.
For the time being, however, it looks like the protesters will be back outside Mr. Noda's door again on Friday.
