New Bill Funds Transit Projects, Home Retrofits, and Global Clean Energy
President Obama signed the fiscal year (FY) 2010 appropriations bill for a number of federal agencies, including the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Department of Labor, on December 16, 2009. The DOT funding includes $2.5 billion for high-speed rail projects and intercity passenger rail projects. It also includes $8.3 billion in FY 2010 spending for transit formula grants, which support investments in transit systems throughout the country. In addition, the bill includes $75 million in grants for public transit agencies to make capital investments that reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission of their transit systems, such as buying more fuel-efficient buses or powering their transit systems with renewable energy.
As part of the funding for HUD, the funding bill includes $50 million for an Energy Innovation Fund, which will enable the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the new Office of Sustainability to speed innovations in the residential energy efficiency. The fund is also designed to help create a market for home energy efficiency retrofits. Half of the funding is designated for an Energy Efficient Mortgage Innovation pilot program, directed at the single-family housing market, and the other half will support a pilot program directed at the multifamily housing market. To help provide labor for those programs and other clean energy efforts, the Labor Department will receive $40 million to prepare workers for careers in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Last but not least, the bill provides funding for international efforts, including $300 million for a U.S. contribution to the World Bank's Clean Technology Fund, which is primarily focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency. The bill also provides $1.26 billion for a variety of international programs related to climate change and the environment, of which $108.5 million will go toward clean energy programs, as specified in the conference report for the bill. The bill stipulates that at least $10 million of that funding will support microfinance renewable energy programs, which help finance renewable energy systems for the poor. See the White House press release on the signing; pages 23-24, 29, 30, 56, 194, and 364-366 of the legislation, H.R. 3288 (PDF 1.0 MB); and page 31 of the international section of the conference report (PDF 4.6 MB).

One-on-One with LCS Program Lead
Lockheed Martin's Joe North gives an update on the advance work taking place for the construction of LCS 5
Spring may still be a few weeks away at the Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin, but preparation work for the Lockheed Martin-led industry team's next Littoral Combat Ship is already heating up. In December, the U.S. Navy awarded the team a contract to build up to 10 Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). While work continues at Marinette on LCS 3, the Fort Worth, the team is busy preparing to start construction on LCS 5. Joe North, Lockheed Martin's vice president of Littoral Ship Systems, provides an update on the progress and a look at the overall status of the Lockheed Martin-led team's LCS program.
Q. What has the team done since the award to begin performing on this contract?
North: Since the December contract award, the team has been hard at work completing the start-up actions for the next ship in this class, LCS 5. We've finalized the contracts with all of our major vendors, placed orders for key materials and held our kick-off meeting with our customer. We're focused on finalizing the master schedule and we are setting the baseline design. At the same time, we're also working on the technical data package we'll deliver to the Navy as part of the December contract award.
Q. What significant milestones are ahead for 2011?
North: This will be a busy year for all us, focused on some critical milestones. This summer we'll kick off our second ship, Fort Worth's, builder's trials, to be followed by the Navy's acceptance trials.
We'll officially begin construction for LCS 5 mid-year and about six months later, in late 2011, we'll have the keel laying.
Also, an award for the next ship in this class is expected in the first half of 2011, and it will follow a similar timeline – construction beginning six months later followed by the keel laying six months after that.
Q. What is the team doing to increase the program's efficiency and affordability?
North: The capital investments underway at the Marinette Marine shipyard are one of the key projects that'll help our goal of increasing efficiency and affordability.
To support Fort Worth's construction, the shipyard completed a number of improvements to its facilities, including a 250-foot extension to the hull block erection facility (which allows concurrent indoor construction of more than two ships) and capacity upgrades to cranes, new pipe-bending and steel-cutting equipment. Additional funding is slated for the next three years for more projects, which once completed, will have reduced module travel distance by more than eight miles per ship and increased efficiency and capacity to deliver up to three ships per year.
Q. Based on lessons learned from constructing USS Freedom and Fort Worth, will there be changes made to future ships in this class?
North: In building USS Freedom, we had a number of lessons learned that we were able to incorporate into our second ship to improve efficiency and reduce labor hours. In constructing Fort Worth, we brought down labor hours by 30 percent, which comes out to more than 1 million man hours.
We'll continue these improvements with the next ships in the class – incorporating lessons learned from the actual construction and feedback from the sailors who operate USS Freedom. One example of a change from our first two ships to LCS 5 is the use of new waterjets, which will be more efficient and easier to maintain.
Q. While these efforts are underway, what is the status of the team's first two ships, USS Freedom and Fort Worth?
North: USS Freedom has been in operation for more than two years and throughout that time, (the ship has) demonstrated her capabilities. She successfully completed her first deployment last year and also participated in the world's largest maritime exercise, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, known as RIMPAC, this past summer. She is now based in her homeport of San Diego.
LCS 3, Fort Worth, remains on cost and on schedule for delivery to the Navy in 2012. She was recently christened and launched in Marinette – a milestone reached just 20 months from contract award.
Q. Fort Worth was recently christened and launched, what must be done before she's delivered to the Navy and commissioned?
North: Fort Worth is more than 80 percent complete at this point. The largest milestone between now and delivery are the builder's and acceptance trials, which will allow us the first opportunity to put Fort Worth through her paces. Those trials will kick off this summer, but between now and then, we're completing the ship's outfitting and compartments, testing key systems and lighting off major equipment.

Wow...this is too weird! What a timely post, because I'm wrestling with the SAME DECISION right now!!!!
I'm not a therapist by a LONG shot, so these are
my opinions
. I think there's two cases when people decide they want to break ties with family members, and I think one case is justified and one is not.
The case that I don't believe is justified is when people grow up in fairly normal homes with a fairly normal childhood, they make bad decisions as adults, expect family to agree and rally around these decisions, and when family members don't, perhaps question the decisions or criticize them, they decide to break from the family. I don't agree with that kind of decision based upon the fact that the person who made the bad decisions won't acknowledge their bad choices and take responsibility.
But, there are cases when people have grown up in VERY dysfunctional homes with VERY dysfunctional parents, and their family relationships are toxic to them. Even as adults, you are made to feel horrible, criticized severely, talked down to, etc. In those relationships, after trying to civilly mend things in a kind and loving way...when you've done everything you think you possibly can, sometimes, the best thing you can do I think is to just keep a distance. I'm not sure if completely severing all ties is always the best case (in cases of extreme abuse, I think it may be the safest choice for the victim, however), because that too causes its own situation of feelings of guilt.
I'm struggling with this decision of whether or not to sever ties right now. I've had two family relationships that have been very dysfunctional my entire life. The one relationship--the one as I child I felt would NEVER be salvagable (very emotionally abusive and alcoholism)--is actually very nice now, and normal. It's a bit awkward, since we weren't able to establish a normal bond years ago, but it's much better than I had ever hoped it could ever be. The other relationship has gotten worse. This person believes that they are never to blame for ANYTHING. They intentionally interject themselves in the middle of all situations (even when there is NO REASON for them to be there--the situations don't involve them one iota) and then complain how they're "always in the middle". They THRIVE on chaos, especially on creating it when it doesn't exist, then fantasize about how they are the "heroes" in bringing peace. They tear down all relationships between other family members out of jealousy and insecurity, and they talk behind others' backs to invoke bad feelings between family members. You can't confide ANYTHING to them, because "it can and will be used against you" at a later date, and, they blab to the entire world your innermost secrets (learned that the hard way). They ask what's going on in your life, and when you want to talk, they interrupt EVERY TIME with something that's going on in their life; their stuff is ALWAYS more important or worse than what you're going through, and then they complain how you never tell them anything (only because they aren't listening when you talk or because they interrupt!). Any time I speak to this person, things are misinterpreted, and I'm made to look like a horrible, scheming person, no matter how innocuous of a conversation we're having, so I'm wondering, if just my mere presence is so embittering and angering and frustrating for this person, maybe I should just make a clean break? I can't do anything right; never have been able to, and it seems never will. I can't confront this person about things, because they are ALWAYS "the victim", and turn EVERYTHING around and instead of taking responsibility for
bad behavior, they "justify" everything they say and do, no matter how hurtful and outlandish, because the world is "against them". This person is paranoid beyond all imagination, and literally believes other family members lay awake at night, thinking of ways to "gaslight" them and hurt them (I get way too much credit here--I have three kids and a husband...trust me, I'm so tired at the end of my day, I don't have the energy, stamina, or even intelligence to do the things I've been accused of scheming!). It's exhausting, having had to deal with this for a lifetime, and I'm tired of walking on eggshells, ESPECIALLY given the fact that if my walking on eggshells would make for a pleasant relationship with this person, I'd continue to do it, but it only seems to make things worse. Due to husband's jobs, we've moved a bit here and there away from the area where this person lives, and believe me, I've been punished about THAT, too, and so I've been severely limiting my contact, which of course has caused resentment (darned if I do, darned if I don't). There just seems to be no fixing what's broken here if the other person isn't willing to realize that there might be some creedence to the notion that they are at least half responsible for a lack of a normal relationship--I am MORE THAN WILLING to meet them halfway, but I REFUSE to be bullied anymore into believing I am 100% of the problem, which is something I was made to feel since I was a very small child. I've come to a point in my life (almost 40 now) that I wonder why I've allowed this to be done to me my whole life, and when do I too draw the line. I'm an adult, I'm a married woman with kids, and I'm not a defenseless child anymore--I should be able to stand up for myself, right??? (in theory, anyway!)
Monica, for what it's worth--again, I'm no therapist--I would say to at least try to limit your relationship with this person, for your own sanity. See if that doesn't bring you some relief, if you haven't done it already. I don't know what else to say, except that I wrestle with this decision too, and it makes me SO SAD to think about the person in my life to be totally cut out, and I would suffer terrible guilt over it in addition to feeling sad about it, so I'd rather try to find a way to work things out if I can. I hope you can find a way to work things out in a way that is best for you, and that you can break free from all of the baloney you've had to deal with.
I'm "the mean twin".
I'm on
I love to knit shawls...after all, a girl can't have too many shawls!

Jan. 24 — To the Editor:
The time has come for all animal lovers to come together as one collective voice and show support for Andrew! HB 1579 is also Andrew's bill and it will restrict the methods used for fur trapping in our state. Many of you may recall the sad story of Andrew, beloved canine companion who was killed by a cruel conibear trap in Auburn in December 2012. This bill will take steps to protect non-target animals such as Andrew from agony and/or death because of innocently getting caught in a body gripping trap. Also, Andrew's bill prevents needless cruelty to all animals as it restricts the archaic trapping methods still in use by the state of New Hampshire.
Please join me and other animal lovers on Thursday, Jan. 30, when Andrew's bill will be heard in front of the N.H. Fish & Game and Marine Resources Committee. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Rooms 305-307 in the Legislative Office Building on 33 North State St., in Concord. Come early to get a seat and sign in showing support for Andrew's bill. In addition, or if you cannot make it to the hearing, you can still help by contacting your legislator in support of HB 1579. This is the link to find your legislators www.tinyurl.com/legislatorfind. Together we can make a difference and Andrew will not have died in vain. Thank you, and I am looking forward to meeting more compassionate people who work to stop unnecessary cruelty to animals.

Mercedes-Benz's G55 AMG is already one fast SUV, but German tuning shop Hamann has joined the plethora of tuners offering even faster versions of the Geländewagen.
The Hamann-tuned G55 AMG doesn't go quite as far off the wall as, say, the Brabus monster, but offers enough power to propel the 5500 lb SUV to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds. Hamann retains the stock V-8, but cranks the power up to around 600 hp and 577 lb-ft of torque.
Hamann accomplishes this by reprogramming the engine, fitting a new supercharger pulley, and adding a stainless steel exhaust. All this power allows the G55 to reach a top speed of 162 mph without a governor. Not bad for a vehicle less aerodynamic than a brick.
Of course, no tuning job is complete without a way to differentiate the vehicle from its stock brethren. To do this, Hamann gives the G55 a makeover with a full body kit. In addition to the body kit, Hamann offers a variety of wheels ranging in size from 20 to 24 inches.
As with all Hamann products (and most other outrageous tuners), the interior of the vehicle can be completely customized from a variety of leather and Alcantara options as well as sports seats and sound systems. Even the floor mats can be customized!
No price is given, but as is the usual rule, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

If that helps .. You can look in search bar and look it up but I would wait till next cycle and don't mix them!!
I would take the SI instead of the Vitex,although you are taking the Vitex most people have said that it takes 3 months for it to even start working!
So you should be fine.
I recommend one or the other. Vitex seems to be a longer road and long term thing.
Well, I took both.
I began drinking the tea on 1/18 through CD1 1/23. Then CD2-5 I took SI. Then, on CD7 I began drinking the tea again. I was not aware that I shouldn't take both in the same cycle. I thought that you just shouldn't take them on the same day. So, I hope I didn't botch things up for this cycle. KMFX!

Vitex takes longer to take full effect because it works to balance your hormones by nourishing your pituitary gland. Soy Iso works by tricking your hormones into stimulating FSH . Soy does work faster for some, but it is not safe to take for long periods of time, because it acts on your hormones in a way that can cause permanent imbalance. Soy isoflavones are a phytoestrogen. While most phytoestrogens are beneficial, a concentrated amount of an already very estrogenic supplement like soy can cause estogen dominance over time, which is no good. I'd encourage you to research it some for yourself and decide what you're comfortable with.
TTC for 3.5 years = MC #1 12/12 and MC #2 4/14, B/G TWINS born 12/23/15!!
Nluv- I was drinking FertiliTea. It has Vitex in it. I drank it -5, then CD1. Took SI CD2-5, and began the tea again on CD7. I was unaware at the time that not taking them together meant during the same cycle. I took it to mean not on the same day. I had to lurk around the threads to see what was actually meant and by that time it was too late. I would nt try taking them during the same cycle.
I agree w/ fwicks- The teas and other supplements take about 3 months to kick in. SI seems to kick in a lot faster.
Arielle- SI is purported as a natural alternative to Clomid. As Sugabear stated, SI helps w/ O'ing.
I got my BFP on 2/22!. This was my 1st cycle on SI! I have been ttc since May of last year! About 10 months!!!

First, a little security notice: this week, I have started searching for graduate jobs, and as such have set my Facebook and Twitter accounts to private, as I am all too aware of the likelihood (read: near-certainty) of potential employers stalking me online. I do hope to be out as polyamorous in future workplaces, but that very much depends on individual situations, and I don't want to risk sabotaging my chances before I even start.
SO – please, if you know me personally or know my full, real name, please do not link Love is Infinite to that name in any way online. Share this blog all you like, repost things, Tweet/blog/Facebook about it – I love it when you guys do that! All I ask is that you don't link my full name, if you know it, to this page. When it comes to what to call me, Jess or Miss Amaranth is fine! Thank you for understanding, guys.
With that out of the way, one more quick announcement: Love is Infinite now has a Facebook page! If you're a FB user, please click the 'like' button (left hand side of this page, under the Blogroll) for regular updates of new posts and any other poly-related content I find and share!
Oooh! Also! Also! Nomad and I have booked our places at OpenCon Catalonia! We're making a little holiday of it and taking a few days to go sightseeing as well. I'm super excited! Any of you going to be at this 'Con, lovely readers?
And now, onto today's topic!
The Neediness Dilemma
I've come to notice something of a contradiction in terms within the so-called 'rules' (term used very loosely) of successful polyamorous relationships.
I'm a very firm believer, as are most of the people I know in healthy relationships (poly or not,) that it is hugely important to be able to ask for what you want or need. This doesn't mean, necessarily, that you will always get exactly what you want – but being able to express your needs, preferences and desires, and having them listened to and respected and met as far as is possible, is a fundamental part of good, happy relationships. After all, if we can't express our needs, how can we expect our partners to fulfil them? They're not psychic!
But who hasn't ever been afraid of being seen as 'needy' in a relationship? I know I have, and it's something I still struggle with on a regular basis. I like to think I've got the 'knowing what I need' aspect of things down pretty well. I'm always learning new things about myself, of course, but I am aware of things I need in order to be happy in a relationship: things which include regular contact even when we're apart, regular face-to-face time, to be supported and encouraged in stuff I do, to take things s-l-o-w-l-y sexually, plenty of physical affection, to regularly be told I'm loved, to be kept in the loop about anything going on in my partners' lives that may affect me (including, but not limited to, being told early on if they're likely to be embarking on any new relationships.) There are more nuances and specifics which I won't go into, and of course it varies somewhat with each relationship, but that's a decent outline of the Care and Handling of Your Jess.
However, even though in theory I'm a firm believer of 'ask for what you need,' in reality I often find it very difficult to do. Why? Because I am afraid of being labelled as 'needy.' Even now, two and a half years in, I sometimes get irrationally afraid of asking Nomad for something – like I'm a Bad Partner for having needs in the first place. Luckily, he is outstandingly supportive about listening to and validating my needs, and meeting them as much as possible (and helping/suggesting ways for me get them met when he's not able to right then.) It's an issue in new relationships, too. I am constantly afraid of potential new partners running a mile when they see that I'm not super-cool-laid-back-chick-who-never-needs-anything.
Of course, this might sound silly. After all, everybody has needs. I know that, as I'm sure we all do. Nobody is super laid back about everything all the time, and I know I wouldn't want a partner who never expressed any of their needs or desires to me. But in our culture, and particularly as a woman, needy seems to be absolutely one of the worst things someone can be labelled as in a relationship. Us women are taught from a young age that our principal role is to make our (male) partner's lives easier (those How To Please Your Man or How To Be The Perfect Girlfriend articles in glossy magazines, anyone?) We're taught to relegate our own desires to lesser importance than everyone else's, particularly men's, that being a Good Woman is putting others above ourselves absolutely all of the time, and that being 'needy' (whether of time, affection, support, celebrating a special occasion, or whatever) is this Bad Evil Awful Thing that must be avoided at all costs – so of course expressing what we want and need is likely to be difficult!
(Why do so many of these things ultimately boil down to deeply-ingrained cultural norms and expectations?)
Everyone deserves to have their needs listened to, and to get them met if at all possible. As is so often said, one of the beautiful things about polyamory is that we don't need to expect one person to meet all our needs, all the time. I've discovered since being with Nomad that having my needs listened to and taken into account makes me feel so much better about actually having them.
I suppose I just need to gently remind myself (often) that Perfect Girlfriend doesn't exist, because nobody is perfect, and that being a good partner is not synonymous with 'never wanting anything.'
Has anyone else experienced this particular internal conflict or struggled with 'the neediness dilemma?' I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Old School Tunes
Clementine Revives Classic Amarok
Zonker takes a look at Clementine, a full-featured media player for Linux that can manage your collection as well as play your tunes.
Although people say they want change, they don't really mean it. At least not when it means trading the tried and true for an unfamiliar design. Case in point: The Amarok developers worked long and hard to update and modernize the user interface of Amarok, only to find many users preferred the old school media player. The result? Clementine, a player "inspired by" Amarok 1.4 but updated to take advantage of the Qt4 toolkit.

Textile Biotechnology
Thessaloniki/Como - Research within textile biotechnology is very broad and involves areas such as enzymology, chemistry, fibre testing, textile technology and effluent treatment process technology. COST Action 847 (www.vtt.fi/bel/cost847) is a European network involving scientist from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and the UK.
The COST Action 847 is divided into several working groups meeting frequently. The next two meetings are taking place on October 9 in Como, Italy, and on October 30 in Thessaloniki, Greece. It's main objective is to develop environmentally friendly production technologies for the textile industry by using enzymatic processes. It will focus on evaluating the effects of structural modifications obtained by various enzymes on the functional properties of the textile materials and the potential of enzymes rendering the production processes more sustainable and eco-efficient.
The scientific outcome of the action will contribute to the development of new enzymatic processes for the textile industry resulting in more environmentally friendly production technologies, chemical and energy savings as well as improvement in the final product quality.

Gene to Protein
The Theme of Levels of Organization in Gene to Protein
Up until this point we have talked about transcription and translation as though all the players magically came together. But in reality, it is a lot more complicated. DNA is in the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell. Where do you think transcription must occur? Where do you think proteins are made? What might happen if the proteins or RNA didn't make it to the correct spot?
Let's start at the beginning. DNA is in the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell. Transcription occurs in the nucleus. Therefore, all the transcription stars, such as polymerase, transcription factors, regulatory proteins, need to be there too.
Once an mRNA is made, the RNA immediately undergoes processing. Splicing and capping occur. These covalent modifications are important, because they indicate that an mRNA is complete and ready to transport. The completion of processing is the green flag for the RNA to begin its transport out of the nucleus.
You may remember that the nucleus is a membrane bound organelle. Think of this barrier as the bouncer of nucleus. Not anyone will get by this dude. In fact, the mRNA needs to have its own connection to get by him. This connection is called the nuclear pore complex.
The nuclear pore complex is pretty much what it sounds like: a pore where proteins and RNA can be released into the rest of the cell. A specific group of proteins, called poly-A binding proteins, bind to the mature mRNA and guide it to the nuclear pore complex so it can "sneak" out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. It is here in the cytoplasm where translation takes place: on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, or on free-floating ribosomes. The proteins produced by translation then are transported to the correct regions of cell such that they can fulfill their functions.
What about the RNAs that don't have a poly-A tail and aren't mRNAs? Great question. The transport of rRNAs and tRNAs is closely linked to their transport as well. rRNA are produced and processed in a special region of the nucleus called the nucleolus. This region isn't membrane bound, but it is visible under the microscope. It contains the many copies of ribosomal RNA genes needed to produce the mass amount of rRNA needed by the cell.
What we have told you is that transcription and translation, and the components involved in both processes, are localized to specific regions of the cell. Pretty important stuff. Now though, we'll leave you with three important questions to ponder.
- How do you think that these levels of organization influence the production of a protein? Hint: Think regulation.
- How do you think the situation might work in prokaryotes? Hint: Think about the structure of a prokaryotic cell. If you need a refresher, click here.
- Can you explain how the disruption of this organized system might result in a disease state? Hint: Think regulation again. What happens if an mRNA can't make it past the big bad nuclear pore complex?

DALLAS STARS (18-11-4) at
Start Time: 7:38 p.m. MST
Television: Rogers Sportsnet West
Radio: 630 CHED, Oilers Radio Network and online at edmontonoilers.com. Game Notes | Edmonton/Dallas Stats Comparison | Player Head-to-Head Statistics After winning their third straight game on Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers look to get one game above the .500 mark for the first time since the third game of the season this evening.
The last time the Oilers lost a game, they were playing tonight's opponent. Last Monday in Dallas, Brenden Morrow scored with one minute left in overtime to lift the Stars to a 5-4 win over Edmonton.
Since that time, Edmonton has won three consecutive games – all in a shootout. Tuesday they beat St. Louis 5-4, Thursday they won 4-3 in Detroit and on Saturday the Oilers disposed of Vancouver 2-1.
LAST GAME: Oilers 2, Canucks 1 (SO) With the streak, the team got back to the .500 mark and got back in the playoff picture. Heading into Monday night's action, the Oilers were one point back of Anaheim for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with a game in hand.
Dallas has also won three straight games, with their most recent being a 4-2 victory on Saturday night in San Jose against the Sharks.

The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers have both won three straight games. One team, though, has had to put in a little extra to do so.
Dallas looks to make it six wins in a row at Edmonton on Tuesday night as it continues a four-game road trip.
After losing four of six, the Stars (18-11-4) have rebounded with three consecutive victories to move into a tie with San Jose atop the Pacific Division. Dallas has won five of seven and 11 of its past 15 games.
Edmonton (16-16-2), meanwhile, has matched a season high with its three straight wins - all via the shootout. The Oilers are 8-3-1 in their last 12 games and back at .500 for the first time since the fourth game of the season.
Edmonton has 10 victories in its 11 shootouts, two shy of the NHL record set by Dallas in 2005-06. Five teams tied for the league lead with 10 shootout wins last season.
"You have to give credit to the guys who are shooting," right wing Fernando Pisani said. "Sam Gagner, Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff have all been so good and the goaltending has been great. With those working hand in hand it is a good recipe for success."
The Stars temporarily moved into sole possession of first place in the Pacific with a 4-2 victory at San Jose on Saturday. The red-hot line of Mike Ribeiro, Brenden Morrow and Antti Miettinen had three goals and two assists, and Marty Turco was sharp again with 16 saves.
"It was an intense and hard-fought hockey game," Stars coach Dave Tippett said. "They are a big strong team and we're certainly not as big as they are, but we didn't back down physically. This is a game a team can build off for the rest of the season."
Ribeiro, Morrow and Miettinen have accounted for nine goals and 11 assists in the last three games. They had two goals and three assists in the Stars' 5-4 overtime victory over the Oilers on Dec. 10.
Turco is 7-2-0 with a 1.98 goals-against average in his last nine starts. He's 12-4-0 with three shutouts and a 2.24 GAA in 16 games against Edmonton.
Stars defenseman Sergei Zubov has one goal and eight assists during a four-game point streak. The NHL leader among defensemen with 32 points, Zubov is on pace for his most productive season since he had a career-high 89 points for the New York Rangers in 1993-94.
Edmonton's shootout success continued Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Vancouver. Pisani scored the winner and Mathieu Garon stopped three of four attempts, improving to 18-for-20 on the season.
"We are really confident in the shootout," Garon said. "It was a little harder and we had to wait for the end but we came through again."
The Oilers have a hot line of their own in Shawn Horcoff, Ales Hemsky and Dustin Penner, who have combined for four goals and six assists during the three-game run.
The Stars have won three straight and six of their last seven meetings with the Oilers. Dallas has won five in a row - all one-goal victories - at Edmonton, last losing there on Jan. 20, 2004.

Oy vey Jack. That was quite an unbelievable post that you wrote. And I must say a bit of an overreaction to the situation. The way you apparently think is the reason so many people are afraid to get involved in a situation. The odds of anyone getting shot helping a child is like a million to one.
And FYI: I'm not a first responder. I'm a typical person who tried to do the right thing and help a child who needed help. End of story. And if I would have gotten shot then it would have been my time to leave this earth. I'm sorry you feel as strongly as you do about an innocent situation but
you are completely entitled to your opinion
I don't
to be afraid to help someone in need, I hate that people make me feel this way, it really sucks. To involve the authorities would have been a complete waste of their time. She got locked out, I helped her get inside. Period. I hope that someday if me or my family is in trouble and someone can help us, depending on the circumstances, that they do help us.
And P.S. had the dog bitten me, it would have been MY fault, not theirs. And I would never sue someone because of something I did. Maybe if people would stop suing each other over the dumbest things, people would start helping each other a little more.
Some days are curlier than others.

George Scheber is on the phone and while the name is familiar, I can't quite place it until he mentions the Carnegie Library.
Ah, that George Scheber. He was a Silicon Valley circuit board designer who moved to central Illinois, bought a decrepit Carnegie Library in a tiny town and cooked up a plan to turn it into a center where kids would learn to love reading and writing. (Yeah, it's a long story.) I wrote about him four years ago because his story struck me as such an odd career progression.
That's the thing about Silicon Valley. Part of its beauty is that it leads all sorts of people in all sorts of different, and sometimes unexpected, directions.
And that's what happened with him. "I had misjudged how much work needed to be done," say Scheber, 67. True. Scheber had planned to open the refurbished library in Gilman, Ill., in spring 2007.
The good news: He's now ready to go, more than three years late.
Scheber will throw open the doors to the library this week to about 140 area third-graders who are coming to learn how to write a simple storybook. They'll be helped by Scheber, who's written a number of children's books; Bridgett Spicer, a Salinas artist who illustrated his books; and local teachers and professors and education students from Aurora University.
"I think it's a fabulous experiment," says sociology professor Barbara Strassberg, who met Scheber through a mutual friend and recruited Aurora's education department to join his cause. "This is a very rich teaching ground for our students who want to become teachers."
In some ways, Scheber has embraced that valley notion of "think different," though as a writer he might prefer "think differently." His life has hardly been a straight line. His passion for teaching children to write comes from a combination of his own experiences. He says he had a tough childhood and struggled in elementary school.
"I was the dumb kid in class." He says he started writing children's books after a serious skiing accident at age 39 left him with short-term memory problems. In particular, he fumbled for words that once had flowed easily. He turned to very simple writing for therapy, which seemed to work.
He had a successful career contracting with big valley firms, he says, and he made enough money to pursue his passion. But central Illinois?
Scheber moved east to help his sister care for their elderly and ailing father. He never intended to stay, but one day his sister's husband told him the dingy, old Carnegie Library in Gilman was for sale. Nutty idea, Scheber thought. But then he thought some more -- about his own childhood, about his love of writing, about Earl the Squirrel, his books' main character.
He bought the library for $36,000 in 2006 from a couple who had bought it four years earlier from the local library system. It was one of hundreds in the country funded by industrialist Andrew Carnegie. The building, he figured, could change lives in Gilman (pop. 1,700) and the surrounding area, which is about 90 miles south of Chicago. But first it needed new wiring, plumbing, new windows, new floors, paint, modifications to meet accessibility requirements and a new boiler. Scheber did much of the work himself.
"In three and a half, four years, you can do a lot of work," he says, "and I did."
And so, the first formal workshop for kids is a cause for celebration. Spicer, who draws the daily comic "Squid Row," is flying out from California to help, but also to share in the joy.
"When he first told me that he had bought a Carnegie Library, I thought, 'What are you going to do with a library for crying out loud?' " she says. "Sometimes George goes off on these crazy ideas and I thought, 'My goodness. That's one of them.' "
But he stuck with it and it doesn't look so crazy today. In fact, Spicer says, it looks like another way in which someone from Silicon Valley has chosen to use his good fortune to try to change the world for the better. Sure, some other examples involve much greater good fortune and projects with a much wider scope, but the Carnegie Library could certainly make a splash in central Illinois.
Strassberg says that if this week's sessions are successful, Aurora faculty and students would like to make the workshops a regular event.
"I'm very optimistic, as far as the future of this whole event," she says.
Scheber still hasn't figured out a way to pay for ongoing workshops and other educational endeavors. He's renting out the historic building for events and parties. There are grants to be applied for.
It's a worry. But for now, Scheber would just like to enjoy what he's accomplished so far. After all, if he's learned anything, it's that life can sometimes take you to places that you never knew existed.

They were given invitations on Saturday morning and told that they had to wear a tie to dinner. They got to make their ties out of paper and crayons. The table was set with all the plates, cups and silverware of a "formal" restaurant, and we had 4 courses including soup, salad, dinner and dessert. My goal was to teach them how to eat with the proper silver, how to use their napkins, etc. I played "Mom" and then excused myself and came back with an apron to play "waiter".

Inside San Diego Gas and Electric's Energy Innovation Center
SDG&E's Energy Innovation Center. Credit: SDG&E/Sempra Utilities.
The recent DistribuTECH conference offered a first-hand look at San Diego Gas & Electric's (SDG&E) Energy Innovation Center (EIC). The center is quickly becoming a big part of the local community. Its mission is to enable education and innovation of green, efficient building technologies.
The center is a retrofit of a 1950s era building, and includes many unique touches such as recycled tire flooring and windows that maximize light exposure while minimizing heat and the need for air conditioning. More than 85 percent of the original building materials were used in the remodeling, and another 10 percent of materials come from within a 500-mile radius of San Diego.
Community members are encouraged to attend efficiency and sustainability education programs at the EIC. Individual rooms are also available for reservation, and SDG&E notes that securing a spot is becoming increasing difficult. More information about the EIC is available on the center's website.

|Golf rounds played at record levels for 2012
Golf rounds played in 2012 have increased significantly and are trending towards record high levels for the year, reaching levels not approached since 2006.
The report comes from Golf Datatech, LLC, the golf industry's leading independent research firm for consumer, trade and retail golf trends.
"For the first nine months of 2012, Golf Rounds Played throughout the U.S. are at an all-time high in terms of percentage increase, up 7.5% over 2011," said Golf Datatech's Tom Stine. "This is the largest jump in rounds played since we began tracking them in 1999. With the weather data from Weather Trends, International, it is easy to conclude that favorable temperatures and low precipitation throughout the year has been the biggest contributing factor. However, we also hope that the golf industry's 'grow the game' efforts are beginning to pay dividends and play a part in this noteworthy increase."
More information on the report can be found here.

Some people call me an old time preacher. They may be right, I am old enough! I am 80 years old and still like the challenge Jesus Christ gives me in serving him.
I preach that heaven is a beautiful place which God has prepared for the ones who have given their heart to him through his son, Jesus Christ. I believe Christ is sitting on the right hand of God the father, interceding our prayers.
Consumers may be in the driver's seat when it comes to higher meat prices. Indications are that retail meat prices may rise to record highs later this year, according to a University of Kentucky agricultural economist, and it all rests on that bedrock of free market economics – supply and demand.
Walking is probably the most popular form of fitness. Schedule a regular time to walk. On the weekends, make time to get out and enjoy nature. Kentucky state parks and nature preserves are just some of the places we can go to see the state. Walking is good for your health – mind and body.
Penny Burns was trying to come up with something simple to serve at a recent Garden Club meeting that would be light and refreshing. She planned to have a fruit tray but wanted a lighter dip than her usual marshmallow and cream cheese. Her co-host, Cheryl Wantland, mentioned that she had heard of a lemonade dip made with yogurt.
Burns looked on the internet and found several recipes, including one that used Tang as the flavoring. The one she chose specified Crystal Lite, but she used Kroger brand lemonade.
I can still remember standing on the porch of Little Mount School, ringing the big brass school bell that meant recess was over. Usually, the teachers would ring the bell but sometimes a student would be selected to do the job. It was a real treat indeed.

But in recent years, Lyons was looking the reality of complete deafness in the face – and she didn't like what she saw. As the active mother of 13-year-old daughter Makiah and a passionate high school administrator, she knew being deaf would forever change her life and how she interacted with others.
Kentucky FFA State Sentinel Kevin Herndon, of Taylorsville, recently participated in the National Leadership Seminar for state officers in Springfield, Ill.
Herndon, 18, is the son of Doug and Carol Herndon.
During the four-day conference, state officers learned how to use motivation to create change in the lives of young people, achieve team leadership, discover and implement characteristics of a high-trust team, understand issues that face the National FFA organization, establish a state recruitment plan and learn effective presentation techniques.

CIA activities in Syria
CIA activities in Syria since the 1950s have included coup attempts and assassination plots, and in more recent years, extraordinary renditions, a paramilitary strike, and funding and military training of forces opposed to the current government.
Attempted regime change, 1956–57[edit]
The CIA made plans to overthrow the Syrian government because it would not cooperate with Western anticommunism.[1] Early in 1956, the plan called for use of the Iraqi army; it then shifted its focus to agents with Syria itself.[2]
Operation Straggle, 1956[edit]
National Security Council member Wilbur Crane Eveland, CIA official Archibald Roosevelt, and Michail Bey Ilyan, former Syrian minister, met in Damascus on 1 July 1956 to discuss a US-backed 'anticommunist' takeover of the country.[3] They made a plan, scheduled for enactment on 25 October 1956, in which the military would
take control of Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, and Hamah. The frontier posts with Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon would also be captured in order to seal Syria's borders until the radio stations announced that a new government had taken over under Colonel Kabbani, who would place armored units at key positions throughout Damascus. Once control had been established, Ilyan would inform the civilians he'd selected that they were to form a new government, but in order to avoid leaks none of them would be told until just a week before the coup.[4]
The CIA backed this plan (known as "Operation Straggle") with 500,000 Syrian pounds (worth about $167,000) and the promise to support the new government.[5] Although Secretary of State John Foster Dulles publicly opposed a coup, privately he had consulted with the CIA and recommended the plan to President Eisenhower.[6]
The plan was postponed for five days, during which time Israel invaded Egypt. Ilyan told Eveland he could not succeed in overthrowing the Syrian government during a war of Israeli aggression.[5] On 31 October, John Foster Dulles informed his brother Allen Dulles, the Director of the CIA: "Re Straggle our people feel that conditions are such that it would be a mistake to try to pull it off". Eveland speculated that this coincidence had been engineered by the British in order to defuse US criticism of the invasion of Egypt.[7]
Operation Wappen, 1957[edit]
DCI Allen Dulles continued to file reports about the dangers of Communism in Syria.[5] The CIA planned for another coup, code-named "Operation Wappen" and organized by Kermit Roosevelt. Syrian military officers were paid off in anticipation.[8] Bribes reportedly totaled $3,000,000.[9]
The coup failed when some of these officers revealed the plan to the Syrian intelligence service. They turned in the CIA bribe money and identified the officers who had tendered it. Robert Molloy, Francis Jeton, and Howard Stone were all deported.[8][9] The US State Department denied Syrian accusations of a coup attempt, banned Syria's ambassador to the US, and withdrew its own ambassador from Syria. The New York Times backed the US government's claim and suggested that the story had been fabricated for political purposes.[10][11]
After the coup attempt was exposed, the US government and media began describing Syria as a "Soviet satellite". One intelligence report suggested that the USSR had delivered "not more than 123 Migs" to the country. Reporter Kennett Love later said that "there were indeed 'not more than 123 Migs'. There were none." In September 1957, the US deployed a fleet to the Mediterranean, armed several of Syria's neighbors, and incited Turkey to deploy 50,000 troops to its border. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles suggested that the US sought to invoke the "Eisenhower Doctrine" of retaliating against provocations, and this intention was later confirmed in a military report. No Arab state would describe Syria as a provocateur, and these military deployments were withdrawn.[12][13]
Assassination plot, 1957[edit]
Explicit documents from September 1957 reveal a plot, including collaboration with the British intelligence service MI6 in a plot, to assassinate three Syrian officials in Damascus. These targets were: Abdel Hamid al-Sarraj, head of military intelligence; Afif al-Bizri, army chief of staff; and Khalid Bakdash, leader of the Syrian Communist Party—all figures who had gained politically from exposure of "the American plot".[14] Details about this conspiracy were revealed by a "Working Group Report" uncovered in 2003 among the papers of British Defence Minister Duncan Sandys:
Once a political decision is reached to proceed with internal disturbances in Syria, CIA is prepared, and SIS [MI6] will attempt, to mount minor sabotage and coup de main incidents within Syria, working through contacts with individuals.
The two services should consult, as appropriate, to avoid any overlapping or interference with each other's activities... Incidents should not be concentrated in Damascus; the operation should not be overdone; and to the extent possible care should be taken to avoid causing key leaders of the Syrian regime to take additional personal protection measures.
In the "Preferred Plan" drafted by the Working Group Report, the US and UK intelligence agencies would fund a "Free Syria Committee" and supply weapons to paramilitary groups including the Muslim Brotherhood. Syria would be "made to appear as the sponsor of plots, sabotage and violence directed against neighbouring governments".[13] These provocations would serve as the pretext for an outside invasion, led theoretically by the Kingdom of Iraq.[15]
The Working Group Report stated that it would be "impossible to exaggerate the importance of the psychological warfare aspects of the present exercise", meaning that it would be necessary to convince people in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt that a state of emergency was at hand. Radio transmitters were deployed and the CIA prepared to send advisors to allied countries.[16] The plan was developed quickly and re-used elements of the CIA's 1954 coup in Guatemala as well as its 1953 effort in Iran. [17]
The "Preferred Plan" was aborted after renewed diplomatic engagement by Saudi Arabia and Iraq, followed by direct military support to Syria from Egypt, made a regional war seem unlikely.[13][18] However, the Syria Working Group provided a model for other CIA interventions— most immediately, in Indonesia.[19]
Response to treaty, 1983[edit]
In 1983, President Assad of Syria signed a peace and friendship treaty with the Soviet Union and some have suggested that the coincidental uprising by the Muslim brotherhood in Syria was a CIA operation to overthrow Assad for his pro-Soviet policies.[20][21]
Extraordinary rendition, 2001–03[edit]
The CIA used Syria as an illicit base of operations to torture ghost detainees, as part of a program known as extraordinary rendition. This program was established in the mid-1990s and expanded in the 2000s.
One target of this program, Syrian-born Canadian Maher Arar, was detained in New York and sent to Syria, where he was interrogated and tortured. Arar, a telecommunications engineer who has been a Canadian citizen since 1991, was asked to confess his connections to al-Qaeda and to terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. Arar was held for more than a year; after his release, he sued the U.S. government. According to a U.S. Judge (and confirmed by Canadian investigators):[22]
During his first twelve days in Syrian detention, Arar was interrogated for eighteen hours per day and was physically and psychologically tortured. He was beaten on his palms, hips, and lower back with a two-inch-thick electric cable. His captors also used their fists to beat him on his stomach, his face, and the back of his neck. He was subjected to excruciating pain and pleaded with his captors to stop, but they would not. He was placed in a room where he could hear the screams of other detainees being tortured and was told that he, too, would be placed in a spine-breaking "chair," hung upside down in a "tire" for beatings, and subjected to electric shocks. To lessen his exposure to the torture, Arar falsely confessed, among other things, to having trained with terrorists in Afghanistan, even though he had never been to Afghanistan and had never been involved in terrorist activity.
Arar alleges that his interrogation in Syria was coordinated and planned by U.S. officials, who sent the Syrians a dossier containing specific questions. As evidence of this, Arar notes that the interrogations in the United States and Syria contained identical questions, including a specific question about his relationship with a particular individual wanted for terrorism. In return, the Syrian officials supplied U.S. officials with all information extracted from Arar; plaintiff cites a statement by one Syrian official who has publicly stated that the Syrian government shared information with the United States that it extracted from Arar. See Complaint Ex. E (January 21, 2004 transcript of CBS's Sixty Minutes II: "His Year In Hell").
The U.S. initially invoked the "state secrets privilege". When legal proceedings began anyway, the Ashcroft Justice Department was ridiculed for arguing that Arar was in fact a member of Al Qaeda.[23] The Canadian government has apologized to Arar but the U.S. has not admitted wrongdoing.[22]
Journalist Stephen Grey has identified eight other people tortured on behalf of the CIA at the same prison ("Palestine Branch") in Syria. The CIA imprisoned a German businessman, Mohammad Haydr Zammar, and transferred him from Morocco to the Syrian prison. They subsequently offered German intelligence officials the opportunity to submit questions for Zammar, and asked Germany to overlook Syria's human rights abuses because of cooperation in the War on Terror.[24]
According to a 2013 report by the Open Society Foundation, Syria was one of the "most common destinations for rendered suspects" under the program.[25] Former CIA agent Robert Baer described the policy to the New Statesman: "If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear – never to see them again – you send them to Egypt".[26]
Paramilitary raids, 2004–08[edit]
On Sunday, 26 October 2008, the CIA conducted a paramilitary raid on the town of Sukkariyeh in eastern Syria. The raid involved "about two dozen U.S. commandos in specially equipped Black Hawk helicopters", according to reporters for the New York Times. The U.S. said it had killed an Iraqi who was supplying insurgents from across the Syrian border.[27][28]
Syria accused the U.S. of committing "terrorist aggression" and said that eight civilians had been killed. The US responded that all people killed in the raid were "militants".[27] The Syrian government closed an American cultural center and the US-sponsored Damascus Community School in response.[28] The incident also led to a mass rally in Damascus in which protestors criticized the raid. (The Syrian government supported the rally but deployed riot police to protect the US buildings from angry protestors.)[29]
Following the raid, the Times revealed the existence of a secret 2004 military order authorizing actions by the CIA and the Special Forces in 15–20 countries, including Syria. U.S. officials acknowledged that they had conducted other raids in Syria since 2004, but did not provide details.[30][31]
War, 2011–13[edit]
Wikileaks has reported that the US government has been covertly funding the Syrian opposition since 2006.[32] Special Activities Division teams are speculated to have been deployed to Syria during the uprising to ascertain rebel groups, leadership and potential supply routes.[33]
In early September 2013, President Obama told U.S. Senators that the CIA had trained the first 50-man insurgent element and that they had been inserted into Syria.[34] The deployment of this unit and the supplying of weapons may be the first tangible measure of support since the U.S. stated they would begin providing assistance to the opposition.[35][36]

"The short-sightedness of the neutralist government lay perhaps in its inability to perceive that its neutralism would lead to John Foster Dulles attempting to overthrow it. Syria was not behaving like Washington thought a Third World government should. For one thing, it was the only state in the area to refuse all US economic or military assistance. [...] Another difficulty posed by Syria was that, although its governments of recent years had been more or less conservative and had refrained from unpleasant leftist habits like nationalizing American-owned companies, US officials—suffering from what might be called anti-communist paranoia or being victims of their own propaganda—consistently saw the most ominous handwritings on the walls."

6 Projects Harnessing Data To Do Good
There is now more data than we possibly know what to do with, but these organizations are using it to help keep people more informed and connected.
The Internet, fast Wi-Fi, and ever-improving computer processors have made it easier than ever for corporations, non-profits, and cities to harness large amounts of data to do everything from predicting terrorist attacks to studying urban heat traps via car sensors. But big data isn't limited to closed-off organizations; there are plenty of initiatives working to open up data tools to the public, including the six winners of the Knight News Challenge: Data.
The challenge, which gave a total of $2.22 million to the winners, awarded "ideas that make the large amounts of information produced each day available, understandable and actionable." Here are the winners:

A roundup of some interesting studies making news. As always, a mention here doesn't mean an endorsement.
1 in 25 business leaders may be psychopaths
Over at TIME, STATS fellow Maia Szalavitz discusses a new study that finds 1 in 25 business leaders may be psychopaths, a rate she points out, "that's four times greater than in the general population." The research team studied 203 American corporate professionals who had been chosen by their respective companies to participate in a management training program.
Psychopathic traits were evaluated using a standard checklist developed by a psychopathy expert. Psychopaths are characterized as being amoral and concerned with only their own power. It is possible that psychopaths may be overrepresented in the business environment because it caters to their strengths.
Do family dinners keep teens out of trouble?
A new study shows that family dinners may help keep teenagers away from drugs and alcohol: 58 percent of U.S. teens sit down for family dinners at least five times a week. It was found that teens who spend more time with their parents at the dinner table, spend more time with their parents in general.
On the other hand, teenagers who reported infrequent family dinners also reported spending less time with their parents. These teens were more likely to have used alcohol and to have at least one friend or classmate who engages in drug abuse.
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that optimism, self-esteem, and mastery may possibly have a genetic base rooted in the hormone oxytocin (aka the "love" hormone).
The study, which examined 326 participants, involved a survey and the analysis of genetic material in the saliva, looking for a combination of two variants, "A" and "G". Those with two "G's" may be more likely to be optimistic; however, the study found the gene may also backfire. Certain combination of genes, such as one or two A's may be associated with less optimism and more symptoms of depression.
The traditional police lineup may need to be altered
According to new research by the American Judicature Society, the traditional police lineup may need some tweaking. The more common simultaneous lineup, when witnesses look at groups of people standing in front of them or in photos, can result in a higher amount of misidentifications. Witnesses tend to compare one person to another and decide who looks most like the suspect; a problem if the suspect is not actually included in the lineup. The researchers say a sequential lineup is more effective. In this method, a person looks at each person individually and says whether he or she is the suspect.
Both procedures had similar outcomes in identifying the suspect; however, the sequential method resulted in less misidentification. In the simultaneous lineups, a suspect was misidentified 18.1 percent of the time compared to 12.2 percent of the time when using the sequential method. The latter also produced fewer "not sure" responses from witnesses.
