The effect of coatings on the rate of Mg and K release by weathering were determined on four soil horizons (Croche, Sutton, and LaTuque B and Croche C), collected from three Spodosols in southern Quebec, Canada. Rates of Mg, K, Fe, and Al release from the <2-mm fraction of intact and treated (coatings removed with dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate [DCB] and H2O2) samples were measured in the laboratory using a continuous flow technique. The materials were leached with a 0.0005 M H2SO4 solution adjusted to pH 3.0 at a flow rate of 0.05 mL min−1 for 1080 h. Surface coatings were composed of Al, Fe, Si, and organic C with traces of Ca. Coating removal had no effect on cation release rates (α < 0.01) from the Croche C horizon, indicating that mineral surfaces were not altered by treatments with DCB and H2O2. Intact B horizons released Fe (3.04–4.87 µmol g−1 h−1/2) and Al (10.07–36.33 µmol g−1 h−1/2) at a faster rate than treated (Fe: 0.28–1.68 µmol g−1 h−1/2; Al: 1.21–27.34 µmol g−1 h−1/2) samples although effluent pH (pHf) was more acidic in the latter. Magnesium and K release rates were higher in treated (Mg: 0.35–2.03 µmol g−1 h−1/2; K: 0.052–0.073 µmol g−1 h−1/2) than in intact (Mg: 0.19–0.61 µmol g−1 h−1/2; K: 0.032–0.039 µmol g−1 h−1/2) samples for two of the three Spodic B horizons. In the Croche B horizon, the absence of rate differences (α < 0.01) was attributed to the incomplete removal of Al coatings from treated materials. Because differences in pHf levels could not be invoked to explain all of the observed rate variability, we suggest that the accumulation of coatings was an effective process isolating primary mineral surfaces, therefore reducing the extent of reactive surfaces available for Mg and K release.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Paul Stastny has just one assist in his last four games.
That alone wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it's part of a larger set of struggles for Stastny this season. He's gone from reaching the 70-point mark twice to getting just 10 points in 19 games in 2013. This is shaping up to be his third straight disappointing season and at this point, we don't expect big things from him.

Groundhog Day – 2 February
In Penssylvania, traditionally people celebrate February 2 regarding spring is coming or not. That is Groundhog Day, which means according to belief when groundhog come out to ground and if see its shadow spring will come 6 weeks after, if it does not see spring will come immediately.
In history, Groundhog Day started to celebrate in Pennsylvania as a German custom in 18 or 19 century. It actually based on European tradition which is weather lore. American reference about Groundhog Day points 1841 February 4 by storekeeper James Morris. He wrote his witness about how Germans live this day according his observation. Also, similar day in England was told that "if Candlemas brings clouds and rain, winter will not come again". There are also some poems about similar days grounded Scotland and Germany Alternative theories about Groundhog Day base on confusion about two calendar because beginning of summer is accepted seventh weeks of new year by western countries, so some ancient customs claim that the change of season at cross-quarter while daylight significantly progress against the night. The other ones are said that spring does not come until Vernal Equinox. In the other hand, according to Groundhog Day organizers modern science meteorology say that this tradition's accuracy is %75 to %90. However, Canadian researchers stated that it is only %37.
Groundhog 's Day celebrates in especially in Pennsylvania on February 2. There are almost 40 000 people who came together and ready to celebrate this day. During festivals beside assumption of when is spring coming, people get fun, chatting about situation of weather and its effects on their job or life.
That day is also famous in popular culture. There is a movie starring Bill Murray in same name which is Groundhog's Day. Also, trio Primus released their album which includes a song which is Groundhog's Day. Lastly, Bambi ll which is Disney production, Bambi's best friends visit Groundhog whose shadow determines spring will come or not.

Staten Island Rail on the Drawing Board
"Board member Vincent Accornero said the strong ridership forecast, particularly for the line's first four stations, make a good argument for developing the project at least that far.
A four-station line ending in Bloomfield would cost about $1.2 billion, while building the full nine-station length of the line to Richmond Valley, where it would meet the Staten Island Railway, would cost about $1.8 billion.
'Base' stations would be located at Elm Park, Richmond Avenue, Bloomfield near the Staten Island Corporate Park, Hugenot Avenue and Richmond Valley. Additional stations could be located at Forest Avenue, Victory Boulevard, Sharrotts Road and the Pleasant Plains Park and Ride near the Outerbridge Crossing."

The day John Muckler hired Bryan Murray to coach the Senators in June, 2004, he turned to then-assistant GM Peter Chiarelli and said, "I know I could be hiring my replacement."
How right he was.
Muckler, 73, who was fired by the Senators yesterday, is in fact being replaced by the 64-year-old Murray, who was handed the reins by owner Eugene Melnyk during a press conference at Scotiabank Place.
Murray, a former GM with Detroit, Florida and Anaheim, is going to be busy in the next few weeks starting with the draft this weekend in Columbus, free agency on July 1 and, of course, finding the right man to replace him behind the bench.
So, what qualities does the former coach want in his successor?
"I want a head coach that's a competitive guy, that can relate to the players, that has an interest in teaching and is a good person on a daily basis," said Murray. "He has to have the same goal to motivate the players to play at a high level every night. Those are the ideals.
"I don't know whether you can get one person to do that every night, but you've got to get someone who is willing to work hard at the game and that's the bottom line. We just have to decide who really fits the bill."
That's the biggest question.
Muckler liked Murray behind the bench because he was a total departure from the stoic Jacques Martin.
Murray wasn't afraid to call players out publicly, give them a kick in the butt behind closed doors and push them to get to the next level. He was also a huge reason why the club got to the Stanley Cup final.
Murray is going to begin his search for a coach over the next few weeks and here are some likely candidates:
* Senators assistant coach John Paddock, regarded by many as the top candidate, will be on Murray's list. He worked with the club's prospects in Binghamton and has a strong relationship with centre Jason Spezza as a result.
* Former Senators captain Randy Cunneyworth, one of the AHL's most highly touted coaching prospects, has been with the Rochester Americans and is ready for an NHL job.
* Former Maple Leafs coach Pat Quinn will get consideration. He has kept in touch with Murray since being fired by Toronto last year and turned down a chance to coach the Bruins last summer because he wants a more established team. Ottawa might be the perfect fit for Quinn.
* Former New Jersey coach Pat Burns, who led the Devils to the Stanley Cup in 2003, is also ready to return to coaching after going on a hiatus because of a bout with cancer. It's believed he's got a strong shot at replacing Lou Lamoriello, who left the Devils bench at the end of the season.
Claude Julien, another former Devils coach, was a possibility, but TSN reported last night that the Boston Bruins have hired him to replace the fired Dave Lewis.
Ideally, Murray would like to move quickly because there's plenty of other work to do when it comes to dealing with the club's restricted and unrestricted free agents.
Centre Dean McAmmond, an unrestricted free agent on July 1, agreed to a two-year contract with Muckler before the latter was fired, so that deal has to be signed.
The Senators also have to decide what they're going to do with UFA defenceman Tom Preissing, although it's expected he won't return.
Goalie Ray Emery, a restricted free agent, is looking for a big increase from the $925,000 US he earned last year. Murray will also have to pick up where Muckler left off in trying to trade backup Martin Gerber.
Murray may look to improve the club via the free-agent market as well. One potential UFA that would have interested him was Nashville's Scott Hartnell, whose rights were traded to Philadelphia yesterday. The Flyers then signed him to a six-year deal.
"I saw the fun we had getting (to the Stanley Cup) final this year and I'd like to get there again," said Murray. "To do that, we have to try really hard to be a little bigger in a couple of spots."

Verizon win Over FCC on Internet rules could raise user fees
Verizon Communications Inc. won an appeals court challenge to equal treatment rules for the Internet that could leave companies such as Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. facing higher charges for the fastest service.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington on Tuesday sent the rules governing what's known as net neutrality back to the Federal Communications Commission, saying the agency overreached in barring broadband providers from slowing or blocking selected Web traffic. The FCC rules, which the agency may attempt to rewrite, required high-speed Internet providers over wires to treat all traffic equally and disclose their network practices.
U.S. Circuit Judge David Tatel, writing for a three-judge panel, said that while the FCC has the power to regulate Verizon and other broadband companies, it chose the wrong legal framework for its open-Internet regulations.
"Given that the commission has chosen to classify broadband providers in a manner that exempts them from treatment as common carriers, the Communications Act expressly prohibits the commission from nonetheless regulating them as such," Tatel wrote.
The FCC will consider appealing the decision, Chairman Tom Wheeler said in an emailed statement.
The agency will ensure "that these networks on which the Internet depends continue to provide a free and open platform for innovation and expression," Wheeler, a Democrat, said.
The court rejected Verizon's position that the FCC doesn't have jurisdiction over broadband access, and at the same time the judges found the agency "could not impose last century's common carriage requirements on the Internet," Randal Milch, Verizon's executive vice president, said in an emailed statement.
"Today's decision will not change consumers' ability to access and use the Internet as they do now," Milch said. "The court's decision will allow more room for innovation."
The FCC rule, approved on a Democratic-led, 3-2 vote in 2010, left more freedom for wireless providers.
The rule attracted criticism from the left and right ends of the political spectrum. Open-Internet advocates said it didn't go far enough, and cited the lighter regulation of increasingly popular mobile services. Republicans, including members of Congress, called the rule an unjustified power grab.
The FCC passed the rule after the appeals court in April 2010 decided the agency lacked authority to censure Comcast Corp. for interfering with subscribers' Internet traffic. That sent the FCC on a search for a legal justification, and the agency concluded it could rely on its broad power over communications.
Whether that foundation was adequate was a primary question in the case decided Tuesday by a three-judge panel that included Circuit Judges Laurence Silberman and Judith Rogers.
Proponents, including Web companies, say regulations are needed to keep Internet service providers from interfering with rival video and other services. Those companies don't pay today for what's known as last-mile Web content delivery.
They say that without rules, Internet providers could favor wealthier, established players at the expense of startups, squelching innovation.
Craig Aaron, president of Free Press, a policy group based in Washington and Northampton, Mass., that advocates affordable universal Internet access, said the ruling enables broadband providers to "establish fast lanes for the few giant companies that can afford to pay exorbitant tolls and reserve the slow lanes for everyone else."

CHICAGO "The choice of Italy" just got magical.
Barilla's Piccolini pasta has formed a new partnership with Disney, in which Barilla-sponsored games will be on Disney's website for children's use. For the first time, an advertiser has been integrated into the Create Tool's Digital Painter feature with the Play it with Pasta function where children can build custom works of art with pasta-inspired stamps, brush strokes and textures to help bring a child's artistic vision to life, the companies said.
Additionally, with the multiplatform promotion, parents and family members also can schedule 1-of-6 themed, personalized phone calls from such popular Disney characters as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy for their little ones.
"We believe that our partnership offers a variety of activities to help a child thoroughly enjoy all aspects of mealtime, including a special surprise with a personal phone call from a Disney character," said Kirk Trofholz, president of Barilla America. "Barilla is pleased to partner with Disney on this effort. Our miniature-sized Piccolini pasta was created with children in mind. With Disney's help, we will create more magic for kids and parents this summer."

Mock draft: After solid combine, Lane Johnson a safe pick for Chiefs
There is no lack of offensive line talent in this draft. Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher could go No. 1, but Pat Kirwan has a different option for Kansas City: Oklahoma's Lane Johnson.
1. Kansas City -- Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma: There is speculation about a QB in this spot or another left tackle. If the team re-signs Brandon Albert than this doesn't happen. Lots of talk about Johnson coming out of Indianapolis. A fine athlete and a safe pick.
2. Jacksonville -- Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida: Floyd emerges as the top defensive tackle in the draft. Jacksonville needs help up front on defense and this pick is an impact selection.
3. Oakland -- Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon: Dion's upside is outstanding and could be the next Aldon Smith.
4. Philadelphia -- Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Nick Foles doesn't fit the Kelly offense and Michael Vick is a short term answer at best.
5. Detroit -- Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU: I watched him at the Senior Bowl and at the combine. He has rare skills and will help replace Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril.
|More on NFL Draft
|Related links
|More NFL coverage
6. Cleveland -- Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: The Browns need a corner opposite Joe Hayden and Milliner emerged from the combine as the best CB.
7. Arizona -- Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan: The Cardinals could go in a number of directions and they have to think long and hard about Matt Barkley, but the OT is a safe pick.
8. Buffalo -- Matt Barkley, QB, USC: The GM has already said they need a quarterback and Barkley will climb back into the top half of the first round after his pro day.
9. New York Jets -- Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU: The Jets don't have any outside linebackers for their pass rush. Mingo had a solid 40 time of 4.58.
10. Tennessee -- Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: Lotulelei is a force inside and can play in any front. His heart issue will not be a factor after his pro day.
11. San Diego -- Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M: Some will be surprised Joeckel would not be the top offensive tackle, but he could be challenged for the top spot at his position after the Combine.
12. Miami -- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: Ryan Tannehill needs more weapons and Patterson makes sense if the Dolphins don't get a wide receiver in free agency.
13. Tampa Bay -- Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State: Tampa Bay needs help at corner and safety and Rhodes is versatile enough to fill either spot. He's a big corner that could match up with the big receivers in the NFC South.
14. Carolina -- Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri: The Panthers got production from their defensive ends but very little from their defensive tackles. Richardson will give them a disruptive force inside.
15. New Orleans -- Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: The Saints are heading to a 3-4 defense and need a better outside linebacker to rush the passer. Jones has a medical issue with spinal stenosis and could fall even further. One team told me they have no problem with him as a first-round pick.
16. Saint Louis -- D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama: Sam Bradford needs better protection and the big Alabama lineman looks like he could play left or right tackle.
17. Pittsburgh -- Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas: If the run on outside linebackers and offensive tackles leaves the Steelers looking elsewhere, Vaccaro is the kind of player they would like in their secondary.
18. Dallas -- Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama: The Cowboys have an issue trying to build a 4-3 defense, but they also have to protect Tony Romo and run the ball better. Warmack fits the mold of the great Cowboy linemen of the past.
19. New York Giants -- Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame: The Giants may view the tight end position as deep in this draft and wait a few rounds but Eifert is the best of the group and Eli Manning will get production from Eifert right away.
20. Chicago -- Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina: The Bears could use two offensive linemen in this draft and a linebacker. Cooper could be the highest graded player left on their board at this point in the draft.
21. Cincinnati -- Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State: A month ago Werner was viewed as a top-10 player, but his combine could push him down to a bargain at this point. The Bengals haven't had a guy like Werner since Justin Smith.
22. Saint Louis -- Keenan Allen, WR, California: The Rams second pick should be a wide receiver or safety. Allen is the best wide out on the board at this point.
23. Minnesota -- Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia: A playmaker in the mold of Percy Harvin. This pick leverages Harvin in the future.
24. Indianapolis -- Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington: The Colts just watched Trufant run fast and answer questions about his speed. The Colts offense scores and the defense will be in more nickel looks as Luck improves.
25. Seattle -- Damontre Moore, DE/OLD, Texas A&M: The Seahawks need another pass rusher with Chris Clemons coming off a knee injury. Moore has a rare ability to dip under a tackle's block.
26. Green Bay -- Datone Jones, DE, UCLA: Jones can play end or tackle and that gives Dom Capers a versatile player for his scheme.
27. Houston -- Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia: The Texans could take a receiver here but they also need an inside linebacker next to Brian Cushing. Ogletree has some off-the-field issues that could cause him to fall this far.
28. Denver -- Kawann Short, DT, Purdue: The coaches I talked with at the combine love Short. He is disruptive and can be a one-gap penetrator.
29. New England -- Matt Elam, S, Florida: The Patriots need help at safety and have tapped into Florida players in the past. Elam had a solid combine and would help the Patriots, especially with their 'big nickel' package.
30. Atlanta -- Alex Okafor, DE, Texas: The Falcons need pass rushers and could come back in a later round for another man. Okafor is a high character individual with multiple skills to rush or drop.
31. San Francisco -- Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama: Williams is raw and very powerful. He ran 4.94 at 325 lbs. Williams is from Australia and has a lot of potential.
32. Baltimore -- Kevin Minter, LB, LSU: Even if the Ravens re-sign Dannell Ellerbee they still need another linebacker. In my opinion Minter is the best inside linebacker with excellent tackling skills. He can play over a guard and strike with power.

The post holiday blues had nestled into the folds - it's that time of year again. The season drifted across three lanes before realignment peeked its bright face in – the Lakers notched their first win and in doing so, chased the gathering storm away. This was not a switch being thrown, simply a team adjusting to a system, finding their range, finding each other.
A prolonged work stoppage benefits nobody. It's not a rest-cure, it did nothing to promote parity and with the full knowledge of missteps pulling like a wound, David Stern stepped deliberately and awkwardly over the line. He can bluster about being a caretaker for the New Orleans Hornets but his stewardship, along with equal partnership from the 29 other teams, should have been a step removed. Executives are in place for the Hornets - it is their job to run the ship, regardless of ultimate ownership. The commissioner backhands your concerns like a mad mood child and stalks away.
We haven't heard much about the hardliners lately. They've withdrawn into the shadows, as a season they didn't want, begins to unspool. Dan Gilbert became the public face of a certain cadre and it was curious from step one because he's such an utter failure as a team owner. The only one worse is Donald Sterling who at least knows which side his bread is buttered on – he stayed out of harm's way during the lockout and somehow wound up with Chris Paul. There is no lesson learned here, no parable, no rhyme or reason. It's a strangeness that simply exists all on its own.
The love-hate relationship that much of the country has with the Lakers, mirrors the attitude toward Los Angeles itself. Top on the hit list is the catch-all "Hollyweird" description, easily one of the most unimaginative phrases ever coined. Fortunately, weather patterns and foliage discussions can often be used to charm hinterland creatures - mention blue skies and waving palm fronds and wait for the wistful "some day" sighs, followed invariably by "I've got a great idea for a TV series, it's kinda based on me." Thanks for that, always.
That Jerry Buss and his family-run business are somehow synonymous with entitlement and rings on a silver platter, escapes me. An odd family, yes. But not nearly in the same financial stratosphere as most of the so-called hawks. Dan Gilbert's worth scads more from selling retail loans and Paul Allen's fortune is somewhere around $23 billion, depending on how much he's spending on his super-yacht 'Octopus' in any given week. Allen was chief among those who wanted to either cancel the season or corral more of Jerry Buss's earnings, to compensate for their own teams' failure to launch.
Regardless of past Lakers precepts, this year's model under Mike Brown's direction is more lunch bucket than showtime, an amalgamation of aging stars, second-round draft picks and journeymen role players. Kobe Bryant had the ligaments in his right wrist torn during a preseason outing against the Clippers. The ligaments aren't necessarily important, they only hold the bones in place. Taking this all into account, Bryant has decided that the proper course of action is to continually drive hard to the basket and offer his mangled arm up for retribution. And make no mistake, opposing players are drawing a bead. Nobody's better than Kobe, at Russian roulette basketball.
With three games in as many days, the Lakers have been a work in progress. They blew a late lead against the Bulls on Christmas, imploded against the Kings and demolished the Jazz on a night when their legs should have been dead. They face the Knicks tonight and get Andrew Bynum back from suspension in time for Saturday's game against Denver (the first of a Nuggets back-to-back). It's a brutal first stretch in a compressed season but it's welcome after a year gone wrong. The system restores, the cathode ray tube warms and blurs and the season embraces us, once again.

Most cases of Rett syndrome are caused by a change (also called a mutation) in a single gene. In 1999, NICHD-supported scientists discovered that most classic Rett syndrome cases are caused by a mutation within the Methylcytosine-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. The MECP2 gene is located on the X chromosome. Between 90% and 95% of girls with Rett syndrome have a mutation in the MECP2 gene.1,2,3 Among families with a child affected by Rett syndrome the chance of having a second child with the syndrome is less than 1%.4
Eight mutations in the MECP2 gene represent the most prevalent causes of Rett syndrome. The development and severity of Rett syndrome symptoms depend on the location and type of the mutation on the MECP2 gene.5
The MECP2 gene makes a protein that is necessary for the development of the nervous system, especially the brain. The mutation causes the gene to either make insufficient amounts of this protein or to make a damaged protein that the body cannot use. In either case, if there is not enough of the working protein for the brain to develop normally, Rett syndrome develops.
Researchers are still trying to understand exactly how the brain uses this protein, called MeCP2, and how problems with this protein cause the typical features of Rett syndrome.
Mutations on two other genes can cause some of the atypical variants of Rett syndrome: Congenital Rett syndrome (Rolando variant) is associated with mutations of the FOXG1 gene, and CDKL5 mutations are linked with the early-onset, or Hanefeld, variant.6,7 Males affected by these types of mutations can survive infancy. Males can also have a duplication of a normal MECP2 gene and survive, but are severely affected. Too much MeCP2 protein is as bad for development as too little.
In 99.9% of cases, the genetic change that causes Rett syndrome is spontaneous, meaning it happens randomly. Such random mutations are usually not inherited or passed from one generation to the next. However, in a very small percentage of families—about 1 %—Rett mutations are inherited and passed on by female carriers.2,8
Two types of chromosomes determine the sex of an embryo: the X and the Y chromosomes. Girls have two X chromosomes, and boys have one X and one Y chromosome.
Because the mutated gene that causes Rett syndrome is located on the X chromosome, females have twice the opportunity to develop a mutation in one of their X chromosomes. Females with Rett syndrome usually have one mutated X chromosome and one normal X chromosome. Only one X chromosome in a given cell remains active throughout life and cells randomly determine which X chromosome will remain active. If the cells have an active mutated gene more often than the normal gene, the symptoms of Rett syndrome will be more severe. This random process allows most females with Rett syndrome to survive infancy.
Because most boys have only one X chromosome, when this gene is mutated to cause Rett syndrome the detrimental effects are not softened by the presence of a second, normal X chromosome. As a result, many males with Rett syndrome are stillborn or do not live past infancy.6,9
Some boys with Rett syndrome, however, do live past infancy, likely for one of three reasons:
Duplication of the MECP2 gene can occur in boys and affects intellectual and physical function.

~ William Cowper ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2009
- I believe that what separates us all from one another is simply society itself, or, if you like, politics. This is what raises barriers between men, this is what creates misunderstanding.
If I may be allowed to express myself paradoxically, I should say that the truest society, the authentic human community, is extra-social — a wider, deeper society, that which is revealed by our common anxieties, our desires, our secret nostalgias. The whole history of the world has been governed by nostalgias and anxieties, which political action does no more than reflect and interpret, very imperfectly. No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa. ~ Eugène Ionesco
- proposed by Zarbon
- 2010
- Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
~ William Cowper ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2011
- Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together. ~ Eugène Ionesco

|I know nothing of man's rights, or woman's rights; human rights are all that I recognise.
|~ Sarah Grimké ~
- proposed by Zarbon

|Why do people always expect authors to answer questions? I am an author because I want to ask questions. If I had answers, I'd be a politician.
|~ Eugène Ionesco ~
- proposed by Zarbon
- 2014
|I thought that it was strange to assume that it was abnormal for anyone to be forever asking questions about the nature of the universe, about what the human condition really was, my condition, what I was doing here, if there was really something to do. It seemed to me on the contrary that it was abnormal for people not to think about it, for them to allow themselves to live, as it were, unconsciously. Perhaps it's because everyone, all the others, are convinced in some unformulated, irrational way that one day everything will be made clear. Perhaps there will be a morning of grace for humanity. Perhaps there will be a morning of grace for me.
|~ Eugène Ionesco ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2015
|Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.
|~ Abraham Lincoln ~
- proposed by Kalki, for the US Thanksgiving Day 2015, which was established by Lincoln as a national holiday for the last Thursday in November in 1863.
- 2016
|Dreams are reality at its most profound, and what you invent is truth because invention, by its nature, can't be a lie. Writers who try to prove something are unattractive to me, because there is nothing to prove and everything to imagine. So I let words and images emerge from within. If you do that, you might prove something in the process.
|~ Eugène Ionesco ~

Nature is my friend. Life is my philosopher. History is my guide. ~ Velupillai Prabhakaran
Fear is the outcome of weakness, a coward's friend, an enemy of firmness. Fear of death is the cause of all human fears. One who wins the fear of death wins himself. He is the one who wins the freedom. From his mental prison. ~ Velupillai Prabhakaran
My comrades whom I loved as my life, my generals who have been fighting along with me shoulder to shoulder, my fighters whom I fostered for several years, When they fall in the battle field my heart bursts. Yet in that grief I do not languish. All these losses add strength to my will towards my ideal. ~ Velupillai Prabhakaran
How sweet, how passing sweet, is solitude!
But grant me still a friend in my retreat
Whom I may whisper — solitude is sweet.

I always wanted one and now that the kids are all grown up, I spent a few dollars for myself. I hope I made the right decision on getting a Masterbuilt. I am in need of help on getting started the right way. Merry Christmas!

FLORIDA - Dozens of whales have died and washed ashore south of the Suncoast.
Biologists including some from Mote Marine Laboratory are studying 25 pilot whales which were found dead on Kice Island just south of Marco Island.
This is the second stranding in just a few days. Earlier this week eight other whales died in shallow waters about 40 miles south near Lovers Key. In December dozens more died near the Everglades National Park.
Right now those experts like Mote biologist Gretchen Lovewell are still trying to determine why. "We are looking for any indication of disease, different viruses, potential toxins. It's a huge list of things we look for."
Early indications show the whales had empty stomachs. Pilot whales are prone to mass standings because they form close bonds and wont leave other sick whales behind.
we will have much more on this story including more local reaction tonight on ABC 7.

Bus drivers try to be aware of surroundings, other motorists�
With 139 buses driving 6,800 students 1.4 million miles each year, the Lenoir County School System is doing what they can to transport students safely every day.
Anthony Mitchell, Lenoir County Schools transportation director, said his biggest safety concerns are motorist on the highway and making sure that drivers are aware of the bus stopping procedures.
�When the yellow lights go on that means be prepared to stop,� he said. �When the red lights are activated and the bus has come to a complete stop, we are looking for motorists to stop so we don�t have any incidents with our children getting hurt.�
Theresa Beverly, a bus driver for 27 years, said traffic has gotten worse over the years.
�People are more distracted now with their cell phones and I see people reading the newspaper as they drive down the road,� she said.
Amanda Potter, a bus driver for six years, said most of the time drivers are respectful and wait when she puts out her stop sign, but there is one stop she makes on N.C. 11 where drivers blow past her stop sign at least once a week.
�My students exit on the shoulder side of the highway, so if a driver does run a stop sign there is not as much danger involving my students, but it�s still likely that someone is going to run the stop sign,� she said.
Potter said she doesn�t think most drivers are aware of how hard a bus driver�s job can be.
�You have to be on your toes every second that you are on that bus,� she said. �We are not responsible just for us. We are responsible for 44 students on the bus and we also have to be aware of what the hundreds of other people on the road are doing.�
Mitchell said eight new buses will be replacing eight older buses in the fleet this year. Each of the new buses will be equipped with a camera system to help identify motorists who blow pass buses when their stop signs are out. The information will then be turned over to law enforcement.
Mitchell said he believes the camera system will help cut down on the number of motorist who don�t break for stop signs.
�We haven�t had any data yet to back that up because we are just getting started, but from what I�ve been told I think it will have a positive effect,� he said.
Mitchell said there certain times of the year when the issue is more prevalent.
�At the beginning of the school season is when you have a lot of motorists who are not used to seeing buses on the road,� he said. �Now they are running on the same schedule as the buses and they are not focusing on the school bus.�
Mitchell said the most important thing he tells his driver is to always think safety.
�Once you have that embedded in you, it will always be there,� he said.

Statewide school bus statistics
� Since 1998-99, 13 students have died as a result of motorists failing to stop for a school bus stop signs. Four students died in the 2012-13 school year.
� The number of vehicles illegally passing school bus stop signs in North Carolina has been consistently averaging more than 3,000 per day. (Data are reported by school bus drivers during an annual one-day statewide count coordinated by the Department of Public Instruction.)
� $1.38 million was appropriated by the North Carolina General Assembly to equip at least two buses in every school district with stop arm camera systems during the last school year (2012-13) and again this school year (2014-15). To date, several hundred school buses have been equipped with stop sign camera systems.
� Fines for illegally passing stopped school buses begin at $500. Any person who causes the injury or death of a child by passing a stopped school bus may be charged with a felony.
� Automatic cameras and video recording systems can be used to detect and prosecute those who pass a stopped school bus. General School Bus Statistics
� More than 800,000 of North Carolina�s 1.5 million public school students ride one of 13,400 school buses to and from school each day.

Most people try to avoid stinging nettles, but a certain section of Britain's
population has turned eating them into a sport. The World Stinging Nettle
Eating Championships are held every June in the village of Marshwood near
Bridport, Devon. Apparently, the secret is to roll the nettles into tiny
balls, then throw them to the back of the mouth.

BOSTON – September 19, 2013 – BICEP (Business for Innovative Climate & Energy Policy) announced today that Burton Snowboards, the world's leading snowboard company, has joined the BICEP coalition to advocate for innovative climate and clean energy policies.
"Burton has a deep responsibility to the sport we helped pioneer and to the people and environment that sustain it," said Burton President Donna Carpenter. "We are riders, and we take climate change and clean energy action personally because snowboarding is our life, our livelihood and our passion. We are excited to become a BICEP member because joining forces with leading brands and increasing our engagement on a policy level is one of the most important ways we can combat climate change. We hope our efforts help inspire others all over the world to join in the fight to protect the natural world that we love."
Burton Snowboards is committed to improving their environmental and social impact. One of their key initiatives is a sustainable manufacturing partnership with industry-leading bluesign®. In 2011, Burton engaged bluesign® to dive deeper into making their products and supply chain friendlier for people and the environment. One of the most important benefits of the partnership is a commitment to use less natural resources throughout the supply chain, in addition to ensuring clean air and water discharge in production. Currently, Burton is working hard to get as many bluesign-approved fabrics as possible into future outerwear, apparel and bag lines. The company has also expanded its sustainable offerings with the Green Mountain Process in their new Winter 2014 collection.
Additional Burton initiatives include energy reduction targets organic garden plots for employees, and alternative transportation efforts such as providing free employee bus passes, offering carpoolers preferred parking spaces, and implementing programs like its Critical Mass Bike Ride – a Friday commuter program supported by free bagels, showers and loaner bikes. Burton has also partnered with Protect Our Winters to build awareness and take action against climate change in the snowboard community through social media campaigns, global team rider activation and events.
By joining BICEP, Burton Snowboards has committed to expanding its global sustainability efforts by working with businesses and policymakers to enact meaningful energy and climate policies. BICEP, a project of Ceres, was launched in 2008 with a core group of five companies, including Starbucks, Nike and Levi Strauss. & Co. It has since expanded to include leading companies representing the personal products, sports and real estate sectors such as eBay, Inc., Symantec and Jones Lang LaSalle. BICEP members have been vocal proponents of renewable energy, greener transportation and stricter pollution controls on power plants.
"The outdoor industry plays a critical role in the lives of many, and Burton Snowboards has shown that it can be done sustainably. We are proud to have them as the newest member of BICEP and are certain they will be an active voice for smart policies," said Mindy Lubber, president of Ceres. "With their commitment to social and environmental impact of their products and practices, we're sure that Burton will have an impact beyond the snowboarding world, and will inspire many other company leaders to follow their stead."
Burton Snowboards was one of the first signatories of Ceres' Climate Declaration in 2013, which calls upon U.S. policymakers to capture the American economic opportunity of addressing climate change. The company has set ambitious goals on waste production, as well as with its supply chain and energy use. Burton Snowboards is committed to a 5% Annual Energy Reduction at their Burlington, Vermont Global headquarters through a collaboration with Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility.
More information on Burton Snowboard's sustainability stance and initiatives is available on the company's website.
