The Obama administration is issuing the first national standards to control air pollution from gas wells that are drilled using a method called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, but not without making concessions to the oil and gas industry.
President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address strongly backed natural gas drilling as a clean energy source, and recently announced an executive order calling for coordination of federal regulation to ease burdens on producers. But he has come under criticism by the industry and Republicans for policies they say discourage energy development.
Top Environmental Protection Agency officials said Wednesday that the new regulations would ensure pollution is controlled without slowing natural gas production.

Special to the Tribune Chronicle
A view of a natural gas well site near Burlington, Pa. The EPA is issuing new limits on air pollution from natural gas wells.
"By ensuring the capture of gases that were previously released to pollute our air and threaten our climate, these updated standards will protect our health, but also lead to more product for fuel suppliers to bring to market," said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson in a statement.
Ohio, where drillings into the Marcellus and Utica shales still are in the early stages of development and production, was listed last July in a Natural Resources Defense Council report as the state with the most toxic air pollution from coal and oil power plants, followed by Pennsylvania and Florida.
Mike Settles at the Ohio EPA said Ohio's industrial heritage, especially as it relates to the coal industry is one of a host of reason why the Buckeye state ranks so poorly in air quality.
Settles said his agency intends to study Obama's new rules and determine what changes are necessary.
"We want to have proper air quality standards in place to make sure we're not damaging the environment or creating human health concerns," he said.
Last year, the OEPA began requiring drillers to obtain general air quality permits once their wells graduate from drilling and completion to the production phase.
Settles said the OEPA has determined that the activities during drilling and completion are temporary and the emissions generated during those periods are limited. During the production phase, however, which can last several years, the air quality needs heavier monitoring, in large part because of the variety of equipment used on site, including internal combustion engines, generators, dehydration systems and storage tanks that can produce emissions, he said.
Much of the air pollution from fracked gas wells is vented when the well transitions from drilling to actual production, a three- to 10-day process which is referred to as "completion." An earlier version of the rule limiting air pollution from gas wells would have required companies to install pollution-reducing equipment immediately after the rule was finalized.
Drillers now will be given more than two years to employ technology to reduce emissions of smog- and soot-forming pollutants during that stage. The Environmental Protection Agency will require drillers to burn off gas in the meantime, an alternative that can release smog-forming nitrogen oxides, but will still slash overall emissions.
Industry groups had pushed hard for the delay, saying the equipment to reduce pollution at the wellhead during completion was not readily available. About 25,000 wells a year are being fracked, a process where water, chemicals and sand are injected at high pressure underground to release trapped natural gas.
Besides the new standards for oil and gas wells, the EPA also on Wednesday updated existing rules for natural gas processing plants, storage tanks and transmission lines that will reduce amounts of cancer-causing air pollution, such as benzene, and also reduce methane - the main ingredient in natural gas, but also one of the most potent global warming gases.
There were other changes made since the EPA proposed the rule last July under a court order that stemmed from a lawsuit brought by environmental groups.
Wells drilled in low-pressure areas, such as coalbed methane reserves, would be exempt because they release less pollution during completion. And companies that choose to re-fracture wells using the pollution-reducing equipment prior to the January 2015 deadline would not be covered by other parts of the regulation.
Since companies could capture the natural gas and sell it, the EPA estimates that they would save about $11 million to $19 million a year starting in 2015.
The American Petroleum Institute, the main lobbying group for the oil and gas industry, said that much of the industry was already doing that.
"We don't need (the EPA) to come and tell our members we will save you money," said Howard Feldman, the institute's director of regulatory and scientific affairs. "Their business is natural gas. They get it that they are trying to capture as much gas as they can."
The reaction from environmental groups was mixed on Wednesday, in large part to the two-year delay on requiring companies to perform so-called green completions.
"This concession only promotes wasteful drilling," said Jeremy Nichols of WildEarth Guardians, an advocacy groups which sued the EPA in 2009 to force regulation. But, he said, "these rules promise to safeguard our communities and keep the dirty process of drilling in check."

MINNEAPOLIS - His fastball had more life. His slider was sharper.
This was the Nate Robertson the Detroit Tigers remembered, the Nate Robertson who was missing for basically the entire first half of the season. The Nate Robertson who reappeared, warming up in the bullpen Tuesday night at the Metrodome.
"I saw the ball jumping out of his hand again," pitching coach Chuck Hernandez said.
It began with the first pitches Robertson threw in the bullpen. It continued right through seven shutout innings, enough to start the Tigers on their way to a 1-0 win over the Twins, maybe enough to start Robertson on the way to a second half that will make people look past his forgettable first half.
"I feel like I'm on the right track," Robertson said.
And unlike some of the other times he's said it, this time it looks like Robertson may well be on that right track.
"That was the stuff I remember seeing last year," Kenny Rogers said. "We liked seeing that. That's a great sign."
The Tigers were more than happy with their series-opening win, because they were more than aware that the Twins had crept within six games in the American League Central. As Todd Jones said, the Twins could only make up big ground this week by sweeping the series, and now they can't do it.
Jones finished off the Tigers' seventh shutout of the season with a 1-2-3, seven-pitch ninth inning. The Tigers needed that, they needed Macay McBride's scoreless eighth and they needed Magglio Ordonez's two-out run-scoring single in the sixth.
Shutting out the Twins at the Metrodome isn't as much a rarity as manager Jim Leyland suggested. It's happened three times already this year, and 10 times since the start of 2006. By comparison, the Tigers have been blanked just once this year at Comerica Park.
Still, it's an accomplishment, and this game was definitely an accomplishment for Robertson.
He allowed just three hits, all singles. The Twins advanced just one runner as far as second base, on a Luis Castillo single and Jason Bartlett walk with one out in the sixth.
Two on, one out, with AL batting champ Joe Mauer at the plate. If Robertson really was back, this is where it would show. And it did.
Mauer never got the bat off his shoulder, and he looked at a 2-2 fastball on the outside corner for strike three. Robertson went to a full count on cleanup hitter Michael Cuddyer, before getting him to swing at a nasty slider to end the inning.
"You can't strike out any tougher tandem," Robertson said.
Robertson had no margin for error, because the Tigers managed just one run on three hits in seven innings against Matt Garza, the Twins' impressive rookie right-hander. Their one run was unearned, because it was a Bartlett error that allowed Brandon Inge to reach base to start the sixth.
The Tigers had chances to add on in both the eighth and ninth against the Twins bullpen, but couldn't do it. Their own bullpen was up to the task, though, which perhaps shouldn't come as such a surprise. Tiger relievers have now gone 19 2/3 innings since allowing their last earned run.
"You can't think about that," said Jones, who has an eight-inning scoreless streak of his own. "You just deal with today."
Perhaps that's true for Robertson, too, but the way he pitched Tuesday has him already looking ahead to his next start Sunday against Kansas City. If he really is all the way back, Tuesday's game will be just the beginning.
"It felt good," Robertson said. "Now I want to go out and repeat it."
The Tigers would like nothing better.

There is this video making the rounds on the Internet of Rick Santorum speaking about the president, his favorite topic. The sometimes frontrunner in the race to the Republican presidential nomination was once again lambasting Obama for being all kinds of evil when he back-peddled from a word he was about to use.
Many are saying that word was the racial Nigg** slur. Click the video above to judge for yourself. What do you think: did Santorum change the offensive N-word midway through or was he trying to say another word beginning with N? I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by wracking my brain to come up with what he was trying to say but I'm coming up empty. Maybe you can fit a word in that makes sense?
Speaking on March 27th in Janesville, Wisconsin, he said "We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like--anti-war, government nig-uh-- the uh America was a source of division around the world..."
On another note, what world is Santorum living in? You don't have to like the president but division around the world and America's abysmal reputation in our part in it, was the highest under Republican President George W. Bush. Someone threw a shoe at Bush, for God's sake. What could be more telling than that?
In fact, I think President Obama did a great deal towards fostering good will and improving the U.S. reputation around the globe. His foreign policy skills have turned out to be better than his domestic ones, in my opinion.
But I digress.
This is not the first time the ex-Senator from Pennsylvania has been accused of reportedly using racist or prejudicial rhetoric. While speaking to a group of supporters on the campaign trail late 2011, he was heard saying he didn't want to give "Black people" all the hard-working money of the other folks whose vote he is trying to get. He wanted them to go out and earn it. I guess only "Black" people get government assistence.
He later claimed to have said "Blah people," not "Black people." Blah people--who's that?

Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman and his famly spoke Thursday night on Larry King Live about the loss of their 5-year-old adopted daughter and sister.
It's the second interview the Chapmans have given since their youngest daughter Maria Sue was accidentally struck and killed May 21 by an SUV her brother was driving.
The entire Chapman family spoke with CNN host Larry King about the moments right after the accident, the questions that are still unresolved, and how their faith in God is helping them through, minute by minute. Watch more of that interview here.
Wednesday, Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth, appeared on ABC's Good Morning America to speak about their family's devastating loss.
"We have talked a lot, and you will hear all of us talk about the process of grieving with hope," Chapman told GMA anchor Robin Roberts.
"That's what has kept us breathing, kept us alive, is that while we are grieving this process, there is a hope that we have that we're anchored to in the midst of just what sometimes seems unbearable," Chapman said.
Chapman's manager, Jim Houser, said Wednesday in a blog on Chapman's Web site that the family will travel to California Thursday for the CNN interview. In his post, he petitioned God to give the Chapmans strength and courage, God's peace and His words to continue speaking about their family tragedy.
"If you do," Houser prayed, "I'm crazy enough to believe that the time on Larry King Live in LA on Thursday could change someone's day, and just might change their life. And May it be so. May it be so for many."
Many supportive fans also left comments about the GMA interview and their prayers for the Chapmans and their children. Watch GMA Interview
"I cried when I saw the video from GMA, especially when Mary Beth spoke. A mother's love is so deep and it just hurts so bad when even one of your children is hurt or sick. You would take their place in an instant if you could. ... Many Blessings for the Chapman Family for all who will be watching them," wrote Connie.
Sue in Virginia posted, "My heart and prayers are with you all for this journey and mission for and from God.That many people will come to the Lord this day because of a loving God and a little beautiful girl from China and a precious family who is grieving for her. My heart is so heavy for you all."
Janele's post summed up the heart and spirit of all the comments left by empathic fans.
"My prayers continue, along with my tears for all of you. I have long been confident that Maria's legacy will be the sharing of the Gospel with millions that may have never heard it before. My prayer tonight is that all of you would take comfort knowing that God is being glorified through all of this pain," she said.
Although Chapman and his family are considered strong Christians, he told Roberts on GMA Wednesday that the accident caused their family to question their faith in God.
"We're a family with a lot of questions," he said. "But that's what faith is. It's living with the questions. That doesn't mean you have the answers. That's exactly what faith is," he said.
At first, the tragedy hit the Chapman family so hard, Steven talked about never doing any concerts or media again, his manager Houser said.
"But quickly, God began to show Steven that if he ever believed the songs he was writing, singing and recording before May 21 and Maria's loss, that they must still be true now," Houser added.
The Chapmans say the decision to speak out was not easy, but know it will show others their trust in God.
"It's the family's hope that these appearances will serve as a chance to proclaim to a watching world what they know and are deeply convinced of. Even in these difficult days, the Gospel is true and faith in Christ is our hope," Houser said.
Chapman decided to return to touring in July.
Since the death of his daughter, the family has received an abundance of support. By early June, donations to "Maria's Miracle Fund" had exceeded half a million dollars, according to Chapman's Web site.
The producer and co-writer of Chapman's current single "Yours" even offered all of their royalties from the song to be donated to the charity. Donations made to Shaohannah's Hope, a non-profit organization the family started to help adoptions, are received from around the nation.
Maria was one of three girls the Chapmans had adopted from China.

Since the original description of sickle cell anemia, by Herrick1 in 1910, much has been written about this disease with little attention given to the problem of the sedimentation of the erythrocytes. A review of the literature since 1935 revealed 65 publications on sickle cell anemia. These articles contained 248 reports of cases, 149 being fairly detailed. In only 37 of these reports was the sedimentation rate mentioned. In 9 of the 37 the method used was not indicated, and in 24 there was no mention of the degree of anemia. Although these data are difficult to interpret, it would appear that in 7 instances the sedimentation rate was slow. Diggs2 recorded the sedimentation rate in 27 of a series of 37 cases and found it to be slow in manyinstances. He noted a decided variation even in the same subject. No attempt was made to explain these

text: 2.4 A method for reducing interconnection resistance in the polysilicon lines is to use silicide material deposited on top to form polycide. This process can reduce the nominal sheet resistance from 20Ω to 2Ω or even less. For the same purpose, silicide material is also deposited on top of source and drain diffusions in MOS transistors. Thus, a single step deposition of silicide can be achieved on polysilicon gates and source and drain regions of MOS transistors. Discuss how such deposition can be achieved without causing electrical shorts between the gate and source or drain of an individual transistor.

Wrestling official Mike Kelly passes away in FloridaMike Kelly, a top international wrestling official for close to 20 years who made major contributions to the sport, died Friday, May 5. Kelly, from Bradenton, Fla., was 56 years old.
Kelly also coached wrestling at Bradenton Manatee High School and worked as a high school official in Florida.
Rick Tucci, president of the United States Wrestling Officials Association, said Kelly's impact on the sport will not be forgotten.
"Mike was one of the instrumental members of starting the Weigh Master program and educated other officials to run weigh-ins," Tucci said. "He had the system down to a science and perfected it. He would have over 1,000 wrestlers in Fargo and get them weighed in during a 20-minute span. He was a good official and at one time was a FILA 1 Official, one step below an Olympic official. He played a major role in educating young officials.
"The wrestling world lost a good official, we lost a good person and we lost a good friend. The wrestling world, especially those who loved him, will always remember him. He was fun to be with and was always cracking a joke. He was always very supportive of the officials organization and USA Wrestling. I will miss Mike terribly."
Kelly is survived by his wife and son, John, who is a top official in the U.S. and is scheduled to work the World Team Trials on May 27-28 in Sioux City, Iowa.
"John will carry on the tradition his father started," Tucci said. "They had a real close, real special relationship."

Reese Witherspoon Attends Hearing in Parents' Marital Dispute
Reese Witherspoon appeared in court Friday in Nashville with her dueling parents for an emergency closed-door hearing.
The actress's mother, Betty Witherspoon, has filed papers claiming her husband of 42 years – Reese's dad – tied the knot with another woman while still married to Betty.
The hearing before Probate Judge Randy Kennedy was closed to the public, but Kennedy typically handles cases involving conservatorship and determining mental capacity, The Tennesseean reports.
A video shows Witherspoon, wearing a dress and visibly pregnant, walking into the courtroom with her husband Jim Toth, along with her father, mother and brother.
Betty filed a petition for annulment of what she says is John Witherspoon's wedding in January to a woman named Tricianne Taylor.
"No person in Tennessee can marry another while being married at the same time of the second marriage," says the petition, which includes a marriage certificate for John Witherspoon and Taylor.
John, 70, a physician, has suffered a number of personal problems including alcohol abuse, hoarding, compulsive spending and recently lost his medical practice, Betty alleges.

A Reading man shot in the chest in his own home says he's one step closer to justice.
"It's different today. I don't feel as safe as I used to, I can tell you that," said Raymond Heister.
Heister was shot in the chest in late-November after several men broke into his home in the 500 block of S. 18th Street in Reading, police said.
Police arrested Jonathan Landron and Alexander Cruz-Cintron in connection with the crime Thursday evening.
Cruz-Cintron actually led police on a daring chase across several rooftops in the 1100 block of Chestnut Street, officials said.
After he was cornered, a fire truck had to be brought in to get everyone down off the roof.
Heister says he is grateful police finally collared some of the suspects.
"I think it's great. I think everybody tried to help wherever they could, and I think it's great they got them, maybe they'll pay their dues now," said Heister.
Raymond's wife, Sarah, says her life has not been the same since the crime.
"I feel raped. They went through every part of my house," said Sarah.
Cintron and Landron were involved in an elaborate scheme to break into the victim's home to steal money and possibly marijuana, police said.
Others involved in the crime are still on the loose, said investigators.
But Heister's wife says, she, her husband, and their 200-pound Rottweiler named Zeus, are ready for anything.
"I'm ready," said Sarah. "Anybody who comes through the door, I'm going to blow their head off. Or my dog is going to get them."
Meanwhile, Raymond says he no longer feels safe in his own home.
"It's pretty devastating actually, you know. You feel safe in your own home until something like that happens," said Heister.
Authorities are still looking for several other people in connection with this crime.
If you have any information on this crime, you can call Crime Alert: Berks County anonymously.
The number is 877-373-9913.

WARREN - A former McDonald Schools science teacher and varsity baseball coach has pleaded guilty to "sexting" a female student.
Alan Stanley, 49, of 439 McKinley Blvd., pleaded guilty to a bill of information charging him with the illegal use of a minor in nudity oriented material or performance. The charge is a fifth-degree felony.
He faces a maximum of 12 months in prison and a $2,500 fine. However, he is also eligible for probation.

Tribune Chronicle/Christopher Bobby
Alan Stanley, left, pleads guilty to two ''sexting'' charges Monday. At right is attorney Ed Czopur, who represented Stanley.
Authorities said that while Stanley was a science teacher at McDonald, he was found to have naked pictures of a female high school student on his phone. The student was also an aide in Stanley's chemistry classroom at the time, according to assistant county prosecutor Gabe Wildman. Stanley worked in McDonald about four years and previously worked as a teacher in Niles.
A pre-sentence investigation has been ordered by Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Peter Kontos.
The activity was reported to have taken place between September 2011 and May 1, 2012.
In October 2012, the McDonald Board of Education accepted Stanley's resignation after police launched an investigation into allegations against him. McDonald police, along with the school district, the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Trumbull County Prosecutor's Office assisted in the investigation.
School records show he had been placed on paid administrative leave the month before his resignation.
Stanley was represented at the proceeding by attorney Ed Czopur, who was filling in for attorney Ron Yarwood.
Wildman said the victim's boyfriend discovered inappropriate or illegal photos and reported the matter to the girl's parents who approached authorities.
McDonald police Chief Lou Ronghi said he and Lt. Bill Woodley will be following up on the case with the Ohio Department of Education to make sure Stanley turns in his teaching credentials, which they expect to be part of the sentence.
''Our investigation showed that he solicited the photos that were passed between them for a period of time. She cooperated in the investigation. This is the type of thing we won't tolerate in McDonald,'' Ronghi said. He said they never had any proof of actual personal contact between Stanley and the girl, who now goes to Youngstown State University.
''This is an example of a teacher preying on a minor student. He pursued her,'' Wildman said.
Police retrieved about 1,200 texts and several images after executing a search warrant for Stanley's cell phone.
Stanley also will be declared a Tier III sex offender, which requires him to register with authorities annually for 15 years.
Records show that Stanley's wife filed for divorce in the fall of 2013 and the couple was granted a disillusionment in December of 2013.
McDonald police said Stanley has worked as a painter since resigning his teaching position.

I love that this is an "all in one" costume. So when putting on my dog, is much like putting on one of his sweaters. I especially like that the headgear is not separate, it makes it nearly impossile for him to remove. The material is sturdy, so it will stand up better over time. Overall its a well made costume that looks adorable on my dog.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Today's basketball game between No. 4 Texas and No. 5 Oklahoma is more than just a renewal of their intense rivalry.
The teams are tied for second place in the Big 12, and each needs to win to have any shot at catching league-leading Kansas, which closes its season Sunday at Missouri. They're also jockeying for NCAA tournament seedings. So there's plenty at stake.
And it's the final home game for four Oklahoma seniors - Hollis Price, Ebi Ere, Quannas White and Jozsef Szendrei.
"All your teams are special, they really are," coach Kelvin Sampson said. "But this group, we've been through so much together and you've seen a rise in the program.
"We've always been good, but the toughest thing is going from good to great, and it's even tougher to stay at that level."
Szendrei, White and Ere to Oklahoma from junior colleges. Price is a four-year starter who has established himself as one of the great players in school history.
Price, Ere and White were major factors in Oklahoma (21-5, 12-3 Big 12) getting to the Final Four last year for the first time since 1988. The Sooners are 52-10 in the past two years, with Ere and White in the lineup, and 105-24 in Price's four years.
"I think that's what Hollis has done for this program since he's been here - he's taken us from being a really good program to one of the best in the country," Sampson said.
"You want to leave your footprint somewhere. That should be all of our challenge," he said. "This group has left some unbelievable footprints, and that's something they can be proud of."
Price, who is second in the Big 12 at 19.3 points per game, moved into seventh place on the school's career scoring chart with his 20-point game against Nebraska on Tuesday night. He was the media's preseason choice as the league's player of the year and has played like it, with just one game in which he failed to score in double digits.
The player of the year will be announced next week, but Sampson said he doesn't spend much time promoting Price for the award.
"If you've got to politic for him, then there must be a problem," he said. "It's not close."
Texas (21-5, 12-3) has a player-of-the-year candidate in guard T.J. Ford, who leads the conference in assists and also averages close to 15 points per game. Ford is complemented by arguably the deepest and most talented team in the conference.
James Thomas leads the Big 12 in rebounding, with 11 per game. Brandon Mouton is averaging 14 points per game. Royal Ivey can be an explosive scorer.
The Longhorns beat Oklahoma 67-61 in Austin on Feb. 10, ending an eight-game losing streak to the Sooners. A win today would snap Oklahoma's 37-game home win streak.
"Every great team tries to win and have a home court advantage," Mouton said. "Their fans will be loud and talk trash to us, but that's all a part of the game.
"We have lost two games there in two years, it's time to get a win. We know it's going to be tough."
Price said it will be sad playing for the final time at Lloyd Noble Center. Sampson said it would be emotional, but not sad.
"It's going be intense, because we're going to come to play," he said.

E. L. Wisty
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
E.L. Wisty was a fictional character created and played by the comedian Peter Cook on and off throughout his career.[1] A bland, monotonal know-it-all, Wisty usually appeared in monologues, or in two-handed sketches in which he bores the other person.
The character was originally known as Mr Boylett, after the table butler at Radley College, the school Cook attended. Cook started by doing impressions of the real Mr Boylett, telling bizarre tales including that of the Holy Bee of Ephesus, which flew three times round the crucified Jesus, and stories of how Mr Boylett bought various inanimate objects after he thought he saw them move. Cook was encouraged to transfer these tales to stage monologues when he was a student at the University of Cambridge. It was then that he changed the name of the character, first to Mr Arthur Grole, then to E.L. Wisty.
Wisty appears in a sketch in Beyond the Fringe involving his aspirations to become a judge, though his lack of Latin has caused him to fail "the rigorous judging exams". This has led to his becoming a coalminer instead, since on the miners' exam "They only ask you one question. They ask, 'Who are you?' and I got 75 per cent on that."
In later sketches Wisty became known for bothering members of the public on park benches with his monologues on topics including tadpoles, royalty, newts, peace through nudism, inalienable rights and his (equally fictional) friend Spotty Muldoon. His foils were such comic actors as John Cleese and John Bird.
In 1964 Wisty and Spotty formed the World Domination League, with aspirations to dominate the world by 1958 [sic]. Cook enlisted a secretary at Private Eye to send out postcards announcing:[2] "We shall move about in people's rooms and say, 'Excuse me, we are the World Domination League. May we dominate you?' Then, if they say 'Get out,' of course we give up." The postcard also listed the League's demands:
- Total domination of the world by 1958.
- Domination of the astral spheres quite soon too.
- The finding of lovely ladies for Spotty Muldoon within the foreseeable future.
- Getting a nuclear arm to deter with.
- The bodily removal from this planet of C. P. Snow and Alan Freeman and their replacement with fine trees.
- Stopping the government from crawling up our pipes and listening to all we say.
- Training bees for uses against foreign powers, and so on.
- Elimination of spindly insects and encouragement of lovely little newts who dance about and are happy.
- E.L. Wisty for God.

[Previous] | [Session 23] | [Next]
K. M. Leighly (Columbia University)
I present the results of a comprehensive and uniform analysis of 25 ASCA observations of 23 Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). The results generally support the hypothesis that the accretion rate relative to Eddington rate is larger in NLS1s compared with Seyfert 1s with broad optical lines. Time series analysis indicates that the excess variance, a parameter inversely related to the variability time scale, is typically an order of magnitude higher in NLS1s than in broad-line Seyfert 1s with the same X-ray luminosity. The light curves of some of the more variable objects are demonstratably non-Gaussian, a result that implys that those light curves are comprised of a small number of flares. A soft excess component is found in 17 of 19 unabsorbed objects; in contrast, such a hot soft excess is rarely observed in broad-line Seyfert galaxies. The strength of the soft excess, or the size of the excess above the hard X-ray power law, is correlated with the excess variance, a result that is independent of luminosity. It is confirmed that the hard X-ray photon index is consistently steeper in NLS1s, a result that supports a higher accretion rate in the context of two-phase Comptonization models, if that implys a stronger soft photon emission. Soft X-ray line emission and evidence for ionized iron K\alpha lines in a few objects supports reprocessing in a ionized accretion disk. A warm absorber appears to be less likely to be observed in NLS1s, and when observed, the ionization state is lower. This may be a consequence of a higher accretion rate in dynamical warm absorber models if the radiation pressure on warm absorber gas is so high that it is blown out of the nucleus.

NEW YORK — Corporate restructuring at New Line quickly took its toll on the development office Tuesday. One of the most crowed about book projects of recent years, Nick Hornby novel "About a Boy," has reportedly been put into turnaround.
That signals a major about-face for New Line, which optioned the novel for $2.75 million three years ago, attached Hugh Grant and recently tapped Chris and Paul Weitz to direct it; the two are said to have just completed a script rewrite. If New Line dumped the book, they could take it elsewhere. But that wouldn't endear the company to Hornby's agent, Jenne Casaratto, who's currently submitting his next book, "How to Be Good," to studios.
New Line has long been one of the most vigorous players in the Gotham book market, but several projects are now in limbo there. Oscar-winning screenwriter Ted Tally has turned in his adaptation of Joe Lansdale's noir Texas romp, "Mucho Mojo," but cameras aren't likely to roll before the strike deadline. The status of other high-profile books, like Dave Eggers' "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," acquired for more than $2 million, and Jonathan Lethem's "Motherless Brooklyn," which comes with Edward Norton attached, remains unclear.
Lethem and Eggers have other irons in the fire, however. Three of Lethem's previous books are in active development in Hollywood: "Gun, With Occasional Music" is set up at Regency Enterprises, to be adapted by Hampton Fancher, who helmed "The Minus Man" and was one of the writers of "Blade Runner" — an apt assignment given Lethem's veneration of sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick. Lem Dobbs has written a screenplay for Lethem's "As She Climbed Across the Table," and British writer-director-producer Matthew Jacobs is said to be attached to "Amnesia Moon."
Eggers and Lethem are also sidestepping the corporate publishing game, placing their next books with a new publishing imprint created under the flag of Eggers' lit mag, McSweeney's. The imprint will bring out Eggers' next book, a novel, sometime after April, as well as a Lethem novella, "This Shape We're In." Lethem summarizes the plot as follows: "A band of down at the heels soldiers are trying to figure out whether they're in jail, buried in an underground fallout shelter or in a spaceship hurtling through the void." Though he's quick to point out that he's a "happy camper" at Doubleday, which will issue his next full-length novel, Lethem notes that "Shape" is something that would be virtually impossible to publish in other circumstances –"unless I nabbed the Folio spot in Harpers."
LIT AGENTS WHO DON'T KNOW Scott Steindorff may soon be making the pilgrimage to Vegas to visit the head of Stone Village Prods., who in the last six months has emerged as one of the most aggressive buyers of high-caliber lit material in Hollywood.
Stone Village has just closed a deal, said to be worth $1 million, for Brad Thor's "Lions of Lucerne," a globetrotting spy thriller in which the president is kidnapped while skiing in Park City, Utah, and rescued by a young secret service agent.
Thor, an international adventurer who created and hosts his own PBS series, "Traveling Lite," is being positioned as the next Sebastian Junger. He came to Steindorff from Writers and Artists' Angela Cheng and Sanford Greenburger's Heide Lange. "Lions" just sold to Pocket books in a three-book, seven-figure deal, and Stone Village bought the entire franchise and rights to the secret-service character, whom Thor calls a "younger, hipper, cooler James Ryan and James Bond."
But "Lions" is the latest in a long succession of attention-grabbing book deals Steindorff has made lately, following "The Human Stain" by Philip Roth, set up at Lakeshore/Paramount; T.C. Boyle's "Tortilla Curtain," which is likely be independently financed; Tom Tryon bestseller "Night Magic," a $45 million project to be financed by Eagle in Italy; and Reed Arvin's new legal thriller, "The Will," to be produced with Gene Simmons.
Steindorff is in the real estate business and creates Vegas shows. He wrote the Tommy Tune "EFX" show that ran at the MGM Grand two years back, and he has just sold a new show with Simmons, the details of which have not been released.
But Steindorff tells Daily Variety that his real passion is books. "I've been doing this a long time, but I just decided to go after the best authors, the best material and create a top company," he said. "In real estate they always say 'Location, location, location.' In the movie biz, it's 'Story, story, story.' "

Over 200 GRCC students will converge on the college's student center the morning of Feb. 24 to participate in the annual community service event known as Pass it Forward.
GRCC's Department of Experiential Learning Center (http://cms.grcc.edu/servicelearning ) has again partnered with ePIFanyNow (http://www.epifanynow.org/) to offer this event, which sends students out into the community to perform a variety of charitable acts in the hope that each recipient will then do the same for someone else.
Last year's event brought out over 200 students, who gave out blankets and coffee, surprised people by paying for gas and laundromat expenses, visited the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans, and more. Tiffany Falcon-Ewigleben, coordinator of Pass it Forward 2012, says the goal is to not only retain the amount of participants, but to increase awareness of the community organizations that are in the area.
"Pass it Forward is a great event for both the students and the community," Falcon-Ewigleben said. "This year we have organized activities for groups of students to participate in. The more exposure students have to the organizations that provide services for our community, the greater chance of creating and retaining long-term volunteers, and the greater impact it will have on the students as life-long learners. "
Founder of ePIFany Now , Bob Hoffman, said, "I am thrilled GRCC is holding another ePIFanyNow event. The last two have been very successful, actually drawing the largest crowd of any ePIFanyNow event anywhere. I am so proud of the Grand Rapids community for embracing our mission to just be kind to others. My hope is everyone, whatever their circumstance, has an epiphany that we are all in this world together and the nicer we can be to one another the better it is for all of us."
Registration is required for the event. Volunteers can register online atwww.grcc.edu/passitforward
Grand Rapids Community College, established in 1914, offers opportunities for over 30,000 students annually in degree courses, certification and training programs, workshops and personal enrichment classes. GRCC holds classes on the downtown Grand Rapids campus as well as several additional locations throughout Kent and Ottawa counties.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israelis remembered the Holocaust on Monday and highlighted the Jewish resistance on the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Sirens wailed as Israel stood still in memory of millions of Jews who were murdered in the Nazi Holocaust.
For two minutes, traffic stopped and Israelis paused to reflect on the World War II horrors that came upon the Jewish people -- on those who survived and those who didn't.
Visiting Secretary of State John Kerry joined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and laid a wreath in memory of the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day officially began with a state ceremony at Yad VaShem, Israel's Holocaust Museum.
Survivors and their relatives lit six torches -- each representing 1 million Jews who perished in the Nazi reign of terror.
This year marked the 70th anniversary of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the first large-scale rebellion against the Nazis in Europe. It became a symbol of the struggle against impossible odds.
Israeli President Shimon Peres said the threat of the Holocaust against one nation is a threat against all nations.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu made reference to the threat from Iran.
"The murderous hatred against the Jews that has accompanied the history of our people has not disappeared," the prime minister warned.
With less than 200,000 Holocaust survivors left in Israel, there is concern that the memory and impact of the Holocaust could fade.
"I think we are too apart. I think there is not enough remembering, not enough time has passed for us to be so forgetful about what the Jewish people have been through," one Jerusalemite told CBN News.
"It's very important for us and unfortunately we were talking about the fact that in about 50-60 years it's liable to be nothing but another blip on history," said an American Jewish man who has children and grandchildren living in Israel.
"I do think it's just important that we remember what happened. Our Bible tells us never to forget….We have to depend on ourselves and God," his wife said.

'Star Trek' soars beyond $70M
"Star Trek: Into Darkness" warped its way to a $70.6 million weekend launch, though that's lower than the studio's expectations.
The latest voyage of the starship Enterprise fell short of its predecessor, 2009's "Star Trek," which opened with $75.2 million.
The "Star Trek" sequel bumped "Iron Man 3" down to second place after two weekends on top. Robert Downey Jr.'s superhero saga took in $35.2 million domestically to lift its receipts to $337.1 million. Overseas, "Iron Man 3" added $40.2 million, raising its international total to $736.2 million and its worldwide tally to nearly $1.1 billion.
"The Great Gatsby" pulled in $42.1 million overseas. Domestically, "Gatsby" held up well at No. 3 with $23.4 million, lifting its total to $90.2 million.
In today's Hollywood of bigger, better sequels, follow-up films often outdo the box office of their predecessors, as each "Iron Man" sequel has done. While "Into Darkness" earned good reviews and is getting strong word-of-mouth from fans, the film did not quite measure up to the opening weekend of director J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" reboot from four years ago, at least domestically.
Swift wins 8 awards at Billboard ceremonies
Another day, another domination for Taylor Swift: She was the red hot winner at the Billboard Music Awards.
Swift won eight awards, including top artist and top Billboard 200 album for "Red." She told the crowd: "You are the longest and best relationship I ever had."
Justin Bieber had three wins. When accepting the milestone award, he alluded to the tumultuous weeks he's had in the public eye. He told the crowd, "I'm 19 years old I think I'm doing a pretty good job ... This is not a gimmick."
R&B singer Miguel seemed to kick a fan when he jumped over the crowd during a performance of his hit "Adorn." He seemed to have landed part of his body on one girl, who walked away, and kicked another girl, who held her head low.
McCartney's first show a big hit in Orlando
Paul McCartney kicked off the North American leg of his "Out There" tour in Orlando in fine form.
The massive production, which required 31 trucks' worth of equipment, includes lasers, huge pyrotechnics, and state of the art video displays.
McCartney performed the show to a sold-out crowd of 55,000 people in Brazil earlier this month, performing "Band on the Run", "Hey Jude", "Yesterday" and "Let It Be."
At one point during the show, McCartney was raised 20 feet above the stage on a special riser as he performs "Blackbird" and "Here Today" acoustically.
Beyonc�, Jay-Z thrilled about pregnancy
Beyonc� is pregnant with her second child, and she and her husband, Jay-Z, said they are thrilled.
The singer had canceled a performance of "The Mrs. Carter Show" in Belgium last week "as a result of dehydration and exhaustion."
Beyonc� wore a custom-made Givenchy number with a high cinched waist as she talked to reporters. Her daughter Blue Ivy Carter was born in January 2012.
Cleveland closes streets for Captain America film
Cleveland has landed another Hollywood film shoot, but it means delays for motorists.
The city warned drivers to be aware of staggered street closings on Saturday, and the city closed downtown streets to accommodate filming for the new Captain America film. The closings will continue through June 18.
A primary closure in early June will involve the West Shoreway used by inbound commuters. City officials said the production company will pay for extra police and traffic controllers to direct motorists around street closings.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford.
The film shoot also includes Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
Travis sues to block release of video of arrest
Country star Randy Travis has filed a lawsuit to prevent two state agencies from releasing a patrol car video of his 2012 driving while intoxicated arrest in North Texas.
Travis pleaded guilty in January to the charges. A judge sentenced him to two years' probation and ordered a 180-day suspended jail term.

I was wondering what the best way to make a barge hull is? Is blue foam a good idea, or balsa? Also, is there some putty stuff you guys put on and sand?
Any pictures of barges would also be appreciated - I'm thinking of making one in 1/24, but 8ins wide and 1ft long.
What type of barge?
What type of barge are you wanting to build?
Here are several types that you can chose from among the many available on Google.
US bulk cargo barge
That is a typical bulk cargo barge used on most US waterways. Having lived on the Ohio River, I've crawled over a few of them as a boy.
You may want to look at the Dumas kit that offers both one raked bow & one box barge that matches their American Beauty tow boat kit. Both the barge & the tow boat links are shown below along with photos from their site.
A 1:24 barge 8"x12" would be more of a rigging flat. A standard size barge is 195' x 35' and 200' x 35' which is 1:24 scale would be 100" x 17 1/2" for the 200 footer.
Smaller barges are the short barges that go into unit tows which are usually 145' long. Also there the rigging flats I mentioned which can range from 12' up to 40'. There's crane flats averaging from 30' to 200' and various speciality barges that can range anywhere from 30' to 640'.
Here's some more examples for you.
Hi Joe,
Well, Dr. 5euss asked the right question of the right guy, as you and River Bill are as in the know on these things as anybody.
Making a barge is as easy as making a box, or you can get fancy on the ends and ramp them up a bit, put skegs on, etc.
Besides Dumas, Microglass makes a fiberglass generic version, 36" long by about 9" wide that will fit many applications.
Probably the best bet is to get some doorskin plywood, and some epoxy, and just be creative.
I would use bass wood to frame up the hull and place sheet foam in it after sealing the wood with a sealer ( just in case you ever got a leak)
See if this will work for what you're looking for.
You're right there kapitan. It's always a good idea to make a convertible deck when you're building only one barge so you can convert it into different types of barges.
I built a pallet of oil drums that I lift from my AmClyde crane deck over to other boat decks and the adults seem to be intriged by it more than the kids.
One thing about barges. You can build anything and somewhere out there I'm sure you can find something close to what you created.
Quesion for TBJoe
I built four 1/48 scale "box" barges to use together as a tow. They are 35 x 145 scale ft (8.75" x 36"). Two have the upward slanted bow/front deck and two are plain box ends. They have double bollards at each of the four corners.
Some questions, please. How are the barges lashed together? Also, I don't have a towboat, but a regular "pointed" bow, 98 scale ft tug. Does that type of tug ever push tows? How are they rigged if they do?
I'll post the barge pics and some construction notes if anyone is interested.
Barges are lashed together with steel cables, chain, ratchets and big steel bars to beat upon the equipment (toothpicks). Pointy tugs almost NEVER push the barges, but the do come up on the sides for a hip tow in tight quarters or in harbors. The bow of the tug points ~20-30 degrees into the centerline of the barge. Rear spring line, forward bow backing line, and stern line are the minimum attachments to the barge. One of us must have a picture of this arrangement somewhere.
Edit found it. Here is a nice overview of towing too.

Yes Joe, it's a good idea to make them versatile
On barge sizes, I built one about 15 years ago that was 8 3/4" by 35 1/2"", which was just the right size to carry a 12-pack of beer, the cans laying side by side crosswise. The beer, of course, was just there to ballast it down---.
It was pushed by a little 15" utility tug, which I still have, but the barge is now down in New Zealand being used as a video camera float. I still have the mold, and the barge shell is available from Microglass.
Boatfox...Thank you!
Great info! The one and two barge rigs are perfect for my tug. It has an operating rear winch that can be used for the stern line.
Does one tug ever take up to four barges? How might that be rigged?
What if anything is used between the barges to buffer them and prevent metal-on-metal contact?
der kap - great idea for ballast!!!!!!

Decide on type of barge as they vary so much depending on what kind of service they are seeing. River barges tend to be shallower than an ocean going ( can draft up to 30') . Some of the barges do have flat ends--depends on the usage. Good ratio for a barge is 4 to 1 for most applications. Build it to be handled like a barge so it should be able to handle abuse.

Take Care,
Craig Loughridge
I don't know specifically about Glencoe HS, but I know that in my school district they have a system they refer to as "Parent Assist." Parents sign up at the school office at the beginning of the year for free, then they can log onto the Parent Assist web site any time to check students' grades, schedules and more.
I am in the Molalla River School District, but perhaps Hillsboro has something similar. The "Parent Assist" web site URL is: Glencoe has something similar. I recommend calling Glencoe's office, and asking about what they offer: 503-844-1900.
Best of luck,

The "pretty" in the title is a reference to what is perhaps Molly's most famous movie, "Pretty In Pink" (1986), directed by John Hughes. She also worked with Hughes in "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club." But before Molly Ringwald became one of the world's most famous teenagers, she was a jazz singer. Yes. She recorded a traditional jazz (Dixieland) album when she was 6 years old, accompanied by her father, Bob Ringwald, and his Fulton Street Jazz Band.

We often harp on print advertising here at HubSpot. Marketers can spend lots of time designing something visual ... only to have it interrupt (and potentially piss off) its "target audience" and then not have any definitive metrics to prove that the ad even worked in the first place.
But sometimes, print ads can surprise us and actually be part of an inbound framework.
This week, I've been at Content Marketing World. On Tuesday morning at Jay Baer's keynote, he mentioned this ad ... and I got so excited that I had to share. Not only because I love Nivea (especially its chapstick), but also because it's a digital spin on an old-fashioned type of ad.
Basically, Nivea included a solar-powered charger in a magazine ad so that people could charge their cell phones and devices while on the beach. Before I give anything else away, here's a quick video that describes the campaign in just 90 seconds:
This ad rocks because of one really awesome reason: It bridges the digital and print divide to actually become a useful piece of content. How often have you been out and about and needed to charge your phone? It solves an actual need that Nivea's buyer personas have in a visual, tangible, and digital manner.
The ad also accomplishes something that is near-impossible to do with print media: relevancy through its integration with users' physical location. The whole point of the ad is to be a tangible resource that affects your actions -- it seamlessly integrates with your beach activities and makes it easier for you to stay out in the sun. How often can you say that an ad not only impacts your day-to-day living, but also makes your life easier? Not often -- which is why this ad is so brilliant.
We've talked over and over again on the blog about helping your audience -- not shilling your product. This ad takes "helpful" to a whole new level through the technological integration with your physical world. Though we may not have the budget to buy solar panels for top-tier magazine ads, Nivea's ad is a truly inspiring example of solving for the needs of your customers.

I have a outfile of a DSPUSRPRF and I would like to use this outfile
in a query to show me all user profiles that have not been used in
over 90 days for system maintenance. The field that contains the date
is UPPSOD and is displayed in the YYMMDD format. for exampe 080507
would be the date and i want to know the profiles that haven't been
used 90 days from this date. Could someone explain this in plain
english to me how it could work?
Thanks in advance.
