|This article describes a concept which could impact a variety of companies, countries or industries. To see what companies and articles reference this concept page, click here.
Clean coal technology is any technology that aims to reduce the environmental impact of coal energy generation, including chemically washing impurities from the coal, gasification, and carbon capture and storage. When coal is burned in power plants and factories, the smoke released into the atmosphere is harmful to the environment. Since the Industrial Revolution, public outcry over acid raid, smog, and global climate change has forced coal producers to consider the cleanliness of the energy source. Since the American coal industry pumps 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year and contributes more than one-third of the nation's overall greenhouse gas emissions, clean coal has been developed to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.[1]
New, clean energy sources, like wind energy and solar power, have recently stormed the market; none of them, however, are as cost-efficient as coal, but they are all friendlier to the environment. Coal companies have responded by beginning development of a new technology, clean coal technology, as a way of accessing coal's efficiency while removing the impurities that cause most environmental issues. Coal is a major source of power generation in the United States (50%) and China (80%)[2]. New sociopolitical trends, however, are threatening coal's position on top, and clean coal technology is the coal industry's answer to concerns about environmental damage caused by burning coal.
Alternative energy companies and their affiliates stand to lose the most from the advent of cleaner coal technologies.
all stand to lose from the increased popularity of coal as a method of electricity generation that would result from a drop in all coal emissions (including carbon).
Though coal is a nonrenewable resource, it is highly abundant in the U.S. and China, two places where energy is in great demand. It is believed that 25% of the world's coal supply is in the U.S., and though coal companies are forced to refrain from most highly damaging mining practices, the product is relatively cheap and easy to extract. In the short run, this makes coal a highly utile natural resource in terms of U.S. energy production, but in the long run, it is projected that the reserves will only last another 250 years at current consumption rates. While this may seem like a long time, one must consider how consumption is growing exponentially.
The world's economy is growing quickly, fueled by the extreme growth of hugely populated developing countries like India and China. As economies grow, due to the proliferation of industrial technology and manufacturing jobs, there is an increasing need for energy. 84% of U.S. coal is used to produce electricity, but coal around the world has many uses. The fuel is used to power factories and steel blast furnaces, manufacture synfuels, and, in developing countries, power steam engines and heat homes.
Coal is the most cost-efficient source of energy in the world; currently, coal is abundantly found, cheaply harvested, and burns with a relatively high efficiency of 33% energy converted to electricity (compared to a high 18% for solar panels). Because of this, many developing countries have and may turn to coal as an economically viable source of energy to power their expansion. China, for instance, has seen huge increases in its demand for natural resources, of which coal is a major one; over 80% of China's installed capacity is coal-powered, and capacity continues to grow.
The global demand for coal, however, as fallen due to the global financial crisis. Weak demand caused the average weekly coal commodity spot prices in Northern Appalachia to fall from $138 in August 2008 to $58 in March 2009.[4]
While 25% of the world's reserves are in the U.S., 40% or more of the world's production is in China. China's abundance of coal and it's growing electricity use make it the world's largest coal producer, user, and polluter. For this reason, many environmental groups around the world are pressuring China to shift its energy production in line with the Kyoto Protocol; coal companies in China and around the world are attempting to meet this demand for environmental friendliness while maintaining coal's energy dominance by developing clean coal technology. China, however, plans to export coal next year. Falling domestic demand has lowered the importance of coal, and a slowing economy has lowered the importance of its environmental impact.[5]
When burned, coal's simple impurities combine to create environmental problems like smog and acid rain. Furthermore, the burning of any carbon-based substance creates carbon gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, that act as greenhouse gases. While coal has an average efficiency of 33% energy output, its dirtiness makes it highly undesirable in and environmental and social context, which is the primary reason that clean coal technology (if developed) could be so important.
Traditional clean coal technology works by removing impurities from the coal, allowing more carbon and oxygen to react when the coal is burned. Such technologies also act after the burning, filtering ash and pollutant gases like NO2 out of the emissions. This is a highly useful technology in terms of ending localized environmental degradation such as acid rain and smog. For the most part, however, when coal producers claim such technologies "emissions-free", they are referring to traditional pollutant emissions - ash, NO2, etc. Now, with increased public interest in the challenge of global climate change, carbon-based gases are considered to be emissions; many environmentalists consider traditional, cheaper clean coal technology to be "greenwashing" because it is refered to as "zero-emissions" even though there are carbon emissions.
Truly clean coal technology, in which greenhouse emissions are significantly reduced, has not yet been developed in a way that makes it remotely cost effective. Though there are technologies that can sequester carbon emissions in compounds or geological reserves, these technologies are expensive enough that nuclear technology would be much more cost-effective. In the current environmental, political, and economic climate, however, there is huge demand for the refinement of carbon-free coal. Increasing fear of climate change, international accords like the Kyoto Protocol, and rapid economic expansion coupled with environmental degradation in countries like China and India may combine the three forces to push the development of cost-effective and truly clean coal technology. If not, then coal could be on its last legs as renewable, clean energy sources are also in the process of being refined.
Underground coal gasification is the process of burning coal directly in the ground and extracting methane (and other gases) as a source of fuel.[6] Two holes are drilled in an area containing underground coal using equipment similar to that used in oil drilling. A burner is then inserted in the hole, and the resulting combustion releases methane and other gases that can be burned to produce energy.[6] Traditional coal mining becomes prohibitively expensive and dangerous at depths greater than a few hundred meters, leaving nearly 85% of the world's known coal resources inaccessible.[6] However, UCG is possible at depths of up to 1000 meters, making 400% more coal partially recoverable.[6] It is also cheaper to burn the coal in the ground than to extract it, wash it, and ship it. The current cost is about $2.00 per thousand cubic feet of methane gas, which is about 50% the cost for an equivalent amount of natural gas.[6] UCG was invented in the 1930s, but recent advancements in technology and favorable energy economics have made UCG more attractive, especially in China. The Chinese government has heavily supported UCG programs, and China, the largest consumer of coal in the world, has the largest UCG development program.[6]
On June 26, 2009, the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act.[8] The victory marks the first major action by the U.S. Congress to address climate change. However, the bill still needs to be approved by the Senate in order to be passed into law. Coal company executives have complained that targets and timetables set by the bill are in advance of the industry's abilities and have called for a lowering of the bill's near-term emissions targets, which currently require a 17 percent cut below 2005 levels by 2020.[9]
Because of the nature of coal power, as well as the nature of coal harvesting, government regulations could play a large part in pushing forward the development and implementation of truly clean coal technology. Examples of national and international legislation include
Because of coal's powerfully negative environmental image and the rise of climate change as a hot-button environmental issue, the future of coal power has major political implications. From mandatory emissions caps to carbon trading markets to subsidies of alternative, clean, and renewable energy sources, these legislative regulations are putting pressure on coal by forcing companies to limit coal power production or by making coal expensive relative to other power sources. Traditional clean coal technology is essentially an attempt to regain public support; the fact that burning coal will always release greenhouse gases keeps traditional clean coal from being a truly environmentally viable form of energy (at least until carbon sequestration techniques are perfected), but such technologies are being touted by coal companies as the answer to all their problems nonetheless. With major political support (a plank of Barack Obama's presidential platform is the support of clean coal), clean coal technology in any form has the potential to be driven forward by the government, restoring the coal industry's image in the process.
Carbon sequestration, or carbon capture and storage (CCS), is a process whereby carbon dioxide emitted from coal power plants is captured and stored underground. Nearly $3.4 billion were allocated to CCS in the U.S. stimulus package, and the European Union has established incentives for power plants to adopt CCS technology.[10] Sequestration technology is already in use in the oil and chemical industries, though CCS would be prohibitively expensive for the private sector without government subsidy.

Post Drinks Cheney's Kool-Aid!
First the veep decided he should be unaccountable. Now the press agrees.
The reductio ad absurdum of Vice President Dick Cheney's penchant for secrecy has always been his office's refusal to reveal publicly the names of people who work in his office or even their number. When the government recently published its "Plum Book," a quadrennial listing of jobs opening up in the federal government, it omitted any reference to jobs in the vice-presidential office, in deference to Cheney's extreme sensitivity to sunlight. Instead, it repeated as fact a legal doctrine developed by Cheney's zealous consigliere, David Addington, to resist any scrutiny of his actions, or those of his staff, by the public. This doctrine is at best controversial and at worst utter nonsense. "The Vice Presidency," it states, "is a unique office that is neither a part of the executive branch nor a part of the legislative branch." Translation: "What happens in the vice-presidential office is none of your goddamned business." The same language appeared in the previous Plum Book, published in 2004. (No such language appeared in earlier directories produced by the Clinton administration in 1996 and 2000.)
Cheney found the fish-nor-fowl doctrine a convenient justification to refuse routine oversight of classified documents by the National Archives. When the office responsible for this oversight pressed the matter, Cheney retaliated by moving to eliminate that office. Eventually, a federal judge had to issue a preliminary injunctionordering Cheney not to destroy the classified documents in his office's possession. The new vice president-elect, Joe Biden, stated in his Oct. 2 debate with Sarah Palin his view of Addington's constitutional scholarship:
Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution [sic. Biden meant Article II ] defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the executive branch. He works in the executive branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that. And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, [and vote] only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.
Imagine, then, my distress when I read the following paragraph in a Page One feature about the new Plum Book in the Nov. 13 Washington Post (" 'Plum Book' Is Obama's Big Help-Wanted Ad"):
Many of the positions are highly specific, such as assistant secretary for terrorist financing at the Treasury department. Some, like the jobs that will turn over in the vice president's office, are not included because the office technically is not part of either the executive branch or the legislative branch. [Italics mine.]
Is Addington now moonlighting as a Post copy editor? It isn't remotely established that the vice president's office "technically is not part of either the executive branch of the legislative branch." All we know is that the outgoing vice president believes it, for transparently self-serving reasons; that the incoming vice president does not believe it; and that to the limited extent the matter has been examined in court, a federal judge isn't buying it. The Post usually does a pretty good job distinguishing propaganda from fact, but this time it got played for a sucker.

500,000 pack Dublin for St. Patrick's Day; bomb hoax hits Armagh parade with Catholic leaders
DUBLIN (AP) ' An estimated 500,000 people crowded Saturday into central Dublin for the St. Patrick's Day parade, a focal point for Irish celebrations worldwide and the start of the tourist season in debt-battered Ireland.
Bands from Britain, the United States and Russia joined thousands of Irish volunteers in the two-hour procession through Ireland's capital of 1.3 million. It was the biggest of more than 50 parades and street festivals across the island.
Overseas, more than a dozen landmarks ' including the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Empire State Building, the London Eye and Table Mountain in South Africa ' were floodlit green in keeping with a holiday that highlights Ireland's emigrant footprint worldwide.
But the holiday didn't pass without trouble in the British territory of Northern Ireland, where extremists in the Protestant majority resist Irish celebrations.
The parade in Armagh, the island's ecclesiastical capital for both Catholics and Protestants, had to be diverted and cut short when Protestant extremists claimed to have left a bomb in the town center. British Army experts using a remote-controlled robot dismantled a suspicious package but deemed it a hoax.
The threat overshadowed a special celebration of Ireland's patron saint at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh, where Cardinal Sean Brady welcomed the Vatican's new diplomat to Ireland, New York-born Archbishop Charles Brown. The two men marched at the head of the threat-disrupted parade.
"You come to our country at a critical time," Brady told Brown during the service.
"Our island, north and south, continues to recover from dramatic economic setbacks after the years of the Celtic Tiger," he said, referring to the Republic of Ireland's 1994-2007 economic boom that ended in a property market crash and crippling bank-bailout program.
"At the same time we search for another, more important recovery ... the recovery of our Christian memory," Brady said. He expressed concern that St. Patrick's Day celebrations at home and abroad were too focused on partying in green clothes, not in celebrating Patrick's Christian commitment as "a man on fire with the truth and hope of the Gospel."
Earlier, Brady offered prayers for the estimated 50,000 citizens who have emigrated in the past year to escape Ireland's 14.4 percent unemployment. The Catholic Church in Ireland also launched an online information pack for emigrants.
Ireland has been forced to raise taxes and slash spending for four straight years and since 2011 has been dependent on bailout loans to pay its government bills.
Seventeen government ministers left Ireland this week to lobby 15 countries for increased investment and tourism. Prime Minister Enda Kenny served as grand marshal of Saturday's parade in Chicago.
But Dublin showed few signs of economic anxiety Saturday. Locals and tourists alike donned fuzzy hats and red beards, children painted their faces the green, white and orange of the Irish flag, and troupes of elaborately costumed dancers and performers strutted their way down the capital's major thoroughfare, O'Connell Street.
"It's the pope!" shouted several young boys as an actor portraying Ireland's patron saint ' in green robes, a papal-style hat and unseasonal sunglasses ' worked his way past the crowd exchanging high-fives and irreverent comments.
The Dublin parade is just part of a four-day St. Patrick's Festival running through Monday that features live performances and amusement park rides in several parts of the city center. But the fireworks show has been canceled, another casualty of government austerity measures.
The city's two most popular tourist attractions, the Guinness brewery and Dublin Zoo, both offered nods to the day's mix of patriotism and partying. Many zoo animals were fed special mixes of oranges and vegetables, mimicking the green and orange of the Irish flag, while Guinness offered free admission to any visitors named Patrick.
Elsewhere, two towns ' Bandon in County Cork and Glenties in County Donegal ' competed to beat the Guinness world record for most people in one place dressed as leprechauns.
They filled out "leprechaun registration" forms under the watchful eye of Guinness officials; donned red beards, green vests, buckled hats and buckled shoes; and filled their respective town squares with zaniness.
Glenties in Ireland's extreme northwest recorded 1,024 leprechauns. But Bandon in the southwest managed 1,263. Guinness said it would take six weeks to confirm the precise winner, with those who failed to observe a strict uniform excluded. The only fact certain was that the old record of 414, set by a school in South Africa, had been shattered.
"We are absolutely ecstatic, over the moon," said Carmel Doherty, who helped organize the Glenties event.

(Reuters) - In another setback for women suing Wal-Mart, a U.S. judge in San Francisco on Friday rejected an attempt to bring reformulated sex discrimination claims against the company as a class action.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer denied a motion for class certification brought by plaintiffs seeking to represent 150,000 women in Wal-Mart's California offices who alleged the world's largest retailer denied them pay raises and promotions because of their gender.
The claims were filed as a reformulated lawsuit after the U.S. Supreme Court threw out a larger class-action sex discrimination against Wal-Mart Stores Inc in 2011 that claimed female employees at 3,400 Walmart stores nationwide were underpaid and given fewer promotions.
The California lawsuit was part of a broader strategy by women Wal-Mart workers to bring more narrowly tailored class actions in an attempt to seek damages, targeting Wal-Mart's employment practices in regions throughout the country.
Instead of relying on nationwide statistical patterns and anecdotal evidence provided by plaintiffs, the California lawsuit had alleged specific discriminatory statements made by the district and regional managers that have decision-making authority over pay and promotions.
Breyer said in his ruling that the women could not bring their allegations as a class action because they had not established that their claims of the company's employment practice were linked to a class-wide policy.
But he said: "This order does not consider whether plaintiffs themselves were victims of discrimination as alleged in their complaint; those individual claims shall proceed in this litigation."
Still, Breyer took issue with some of the merits of the plaintiffs case. For one, he said that the women did not identify statistically significant disparities in pay and promotion decisions throughout the California regions at issue.
Breyer also noted that the women said they had anecdotes reflecting stereotyped views expressed by a number of regional managers, but only offered evidence of bias exhibited by about five percent of the top level management that they say guided lower-level decisions.
"Though plaintiffs succeeded in illustrating attitudes of gender bias held by managers at Wal-Mart, they failed to marshal significant proof that intentional discrimination was a general policy affecting the entire class," Breyer said.
A Wal-Mart spokesman said in a statement that the company has had a strong policy against discrimination in place for many years, and that the allegations from the plaintiffs were not representative of the positive experiences of other women working at Wal-Mart.
"Judge Breyer gave the plaintiffs every opportunity to offer any evidence they wanted, and their evidence comes up short," said Theodore Boutrous, a lawyer representing Wal-Mart. "We are gratified."
Plaintiffs lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

No one can accuse of Andrew Ference of failing to throw all of his body parts into the action in pursuit of victory for the Bruins.
It's just a little unusual that maybe his most famous extremity during the Bruins' run to the Stanley Cup championship was his finger.
Yes, Ference's famous one-finger flip-off of the fans of Montreal after his goal put Boston ahead, 3-2, in Game 4 of the Bruins' first-round series against the Canadiens cost him a $2,500 fine. But it also earned him a permanent spot in the hearts of Bruins fans worldwide.
Of course, Ference contributed much more to the Bruins' cause all season, as he matched his regular-season goal total during the playoff run, was often the first Boston player to come to the defense of a teammate that was questionably hit, and was among the leaders who kept the locker room together during hard times.
Some might've had a problem with his classifying of Danie Paille's hit on Raymond Sawada as the type of hit the league wants to get rid of, but sometimes the truth isn't pretty. And goal celebrations can be ugly as well. To the Bruins and their fans, though, Ference's dirty salute was a beautiful thing during a brilliant championship run.
Regular season: 70 GP, 3-12-15, plus-22
Playoffs: 25 GP, 4-6-10, plus-10
Contract status: Signed through 2012-13 at a cap hit of $2.25 million
Best regular-season moment: In early-season sign that if he stayed healthy Ference could do a lot of things to help Boston, Ference blocked a shot to start the play on the Bruins' tying goal against St. Louis Nov. 6. He didn't earn an assist and the Bruins lost the game in a shootout, but that play — along with his fight with David Backes in defense of a leveled Mark Recchi — showed there were a lot of ways Ference could contribute to a championship-caliber squad.
Best playoff moment: His goal and salute against the Habs were epic, but his biggest game by far was Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against Vancouver. He was credited with six hits and he added a goal and an assist to boot. He also earned a 10-minute misconduct for scuffling with Daniel Sedin during a physical game that Boston used to show it wouldn't be ushered out of the Final easily.
Worst moment: One game prior to Ference's all-around outstanding performance in Game 3, he struggled on the road in Game 2. Two of his giveaways led directly to goals, including the one that Alex Burrows scored to end the game just 11 seconds into overtime.
Regular-season grade: B-plus
Playoff grade: A-minus. He had his share of miscues, but he managed to make up for them (and was often saved by goaltender Tim Thomas). His leadership was difficult to quantify.
Carnac predicts … in what will probably be his last season with the Bruins before the team trades his cap-friendly contract to make room for younger, cheaper blueliners, Ference will continue to be a solid second- or third-pair defenseman and locker room sage.

(Reuters) - A man visiting a Catholic church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, stabbed four choir members as they were singing the closing hymns of a Mass on Sunday, police said.
Parishioners at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church jumped on the unidentified man after the attack and were restraining him when police officers arrived just before noon local time, Albuquerque Police spokeswoman Tasia Martinez said.
The four injured choir members were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Martinez said the man arrested for the attack was not a member of the church and the reason for the stabbings was not known.

The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, May 27, 1909
The What-So-Ever Circle of King's Daughters gave a strawberry festival in the town hall to raise money for charitable purposes. The tables were handsomely decorated and the attendance was large. The affair proved to be both a financial and social success.
Schooner Aetna, which was on fire and sunk yesterday, floated without assistance at high tide and swung around at her anchor, but no effort was made to move her as it was considered best to let her lie in shallow water. During the fire yesterday morning friends of the firemen sent to those at work on the schooner a bountiful supply of coffee and sandwiches and the firemen, who had been at work for several hours without breakfast, greatly appreciated the thoughtfulness.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, May 31, 1934
The Memorial Day parade started promptly on time, with the Jamestown Post American Legion, the Auxiliary Post drum and bugle corps and the drum and bugle corps from Newport, boys and girl scouts and a large number of school children forming the long line, which marched from Shoreby Hill to the Four Corners cemetery where a short service was held and then marched to the ferry where they were dismissed.
A special meeting of the school committee was held in the Thomas H. Clarke school for the purpose of opening the bids for supplying the schools with coal. Ernest Vieira was awarded the contract for 50 tons of white ash coal and the contract for 12 tons of buckwheat coal was awarded to the Jamestown Coal Company.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, May 28, 1959
The Jamestown School held its May Festival yesterday. Dorothy Manchester was May Queen and the attendants were Julia Burnum, Mary Gobeille, Grace Williams, Maxine Vandevender, Esther Bardmess and Donna Matoes.
From the Newport Daily News, June 1, 1959
J. Elliott Walsh, toll collector on the Jamestown Bridge, was named chief toll collector, a new position … John B. Foley, bridge manager, named Walsh to the post based on seniority. Walsh's salary is raised from $80 to $100 per week and his duties will be "as the commissioner and manager direct." The new position creates a vacancy in the five-man toll-collecting force.
About 500 spectators lined Narragansett Avenue Saturday morning to watch Jamestown's colorful Memorial Day parade, later heard Judge Arthur A. Carrellas of the Superior Court speak on the significance of Memorial Day. He and town officials reviewed the parade at Memorial Square where a wreath and basket of flowers were scattered in the water. The marchers then proceeded to Cedar Cemetery where the Rev. Merle L. Jones, pastor of Central Baptist Church in Jamestown, gave the invocation.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, May 29, 1984
The annual Memorial Day parade stepped off Monday to the lively tunes of the Rogers High School Band to pay tribute to deceased veterans. A steady drizzle failed to dampen the spirits of the marchers led by retired Army Col. Peter Drury, the marshal, or the watchers.
From the Newport Daily News, May 30, 1984
The Town Council Monday night authorized the town administrator to borrow $670,000 to finance three capital development projects this year. Projects include renovations to Jamestown School, construction of a new waste transfer facility and purchase of a new fire engine.
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, May 26, 1994
Whether town officials will approve the use of controlled blasting in the cross-island highway construction remained up in the air Monday after 90 minutes of discussion between state officials, explosive experts, and residents.
The town recently took delivery of the ARC 18 (a new craft for the harbormaster). At a cost of about $20,000, it came equipped with a 100 hp Johnson commercial outboard, trailer, GPS. VHF radio, depthfinder, towbit, and hailer, according to Harbormaster Sam Paterson.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, May 27, 1999
The issue of toll reduction on the Newport Bridge was discussed, but not voted on, at the May 19 meeting of the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority. … If commuters want to come to the RITBA headquarters building at the toll plaza, they can make a bulk purchase of 60 tokens for $50.
The bright red Jamestown-Newport Ferry, a summer fixture on lower Narragansett Bay since 1993, resumes weekend and holiday operations between the two island communities this Saturday.

I want to throw out just a few last free utilities and applications that might be of interest to some of you readers.
Windows has a lot of settings that most users are unaware of. They are unaware because in many cases Microsoft has made it difficult or impossible to find how to adjust those settings.
FreshUI makes it easy. (FreshUI works on Windows 98 through XP; it does not work on Vista.)
I found that many of the Windows settings that are available in FreshUI are easy to find and manipulate in Windows while others are not.
My two great-nephews left Ohio on Good Friday with snow in the forecast and sub-freezing temps. They had no idea they were headed for sunny Florida and some great flats fishing aboard the "Reel Therapy." They were about to celebrate their 8th and 11th birthdays. When asked how many fish they had caught prior to today, one said "one" and the other replied "a few, not many."
Well, we were about to change that!
We had a bit of a long ride to "The Spot," but it was worth it. The first cast produced a trout for each of my Ohio anglers.
Don't count on the dogwood and redbud flowers just yet. Even though some of them are popping out, they won't last. Another freeze is scheduled for this week.
Every few years we manage to have one more March hard freeze in North Central Florida, just enough to kill off any blossoms that have formed on fruit trees and other flowering fauna. And, that's not to mention the vegetables that will be wilting unless they're covered. You planted your garden early this year, right? I did.
Now that you have your "productivity software" (Open Office), your antivirus and your firewall set up, all for free, let's look at some other freebies available online.
I am absolutely certain without a doubt that the global warming stuff is true. Here is my scientific, can't-be-wrong evidence. For the past seven years (or seems so) my whip-poor-will has returned to the woods next to me on EXACTLY March 21, a.k.a. the first day of spring. But this year he returned on St. Patrick's Day (March 17), which is a full four days early. I can also add an extra day for leap year, which means that he actually returned five days early. No doubt now, the icebergs will be melting, and those of us who live toward Otter Creek will soon have ocean-front property.
Today's standard passenger vehicle is the most important source of transportation in the world. Over 300 million cars are registered worldwide. Without the automobile, millions of people would not get to work.
So common is today's automobile, there is a gas station in every town in the United States no matter how small. But this was not always the case. In the 1890's, cars were so rare they were often displayed in circuses.
We have all read, or heard, the horror stories from people that have had a major virus infection on their computer. Today, with easy access to the Internet from anywhere in the world, the virus threat continues to increase. But there are steps you can take to keep your computer (and your data) secure.
"Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness." (1 John 3:4 NIV)
Is there a sin gene? Will DNA researchers someday discover that sin consists of a molecular structure and is scientifically observable so that a new professional endeavor will be devoted to eradicating this blight from humanity utilizing sophisticated treatments? Will these treatments be considered a violation of human rights, because they destroy an individual's unique personality?
I remember an old saying that March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb. Well that is certainly true for this March so far. High winds and bitter cold (for Florida) dominated much of the first half of March, so I am expecting very mild temps to escort the second half of this month out like a lamb.
Out of town for a little while.
This past week I have been in Tallahassee, Florida taking in some educational courses for my new job. Tallahassee is a beautiful place - except it is just dog gone cold here.
Living on the west coast of Florida makes you take for granted the usually mild winters we have. It gets considerably colder towards the interior of the State, especially further north, and northwest like in Tallahassee.

This post was written for Cindy Shearer's CIA 7712: MFA Project. In these blogs, students are sharing their discoveries, reflections and learning as they enter the process of creating a body of art work and culminate their degrees.
The following is a piece I captured that seemed to want to express the appreciation and gratitude I feel about my CIIS experience, especially as it pertains to some of the faculty I've come in contact with over the past 4 years or so. I began in the CIIS Bachelor of Arts Completion program and am now in my last semester of graduate studies in the Creative Inquiry, Interdisciplinary Arts program. It's been a truly amazing ride.
a look at life
I feel like I've been striving for graduate school my whole life. That is, my life after
I realized I had a life.
A space where I could learn to identify with that, tiny voice inside.
Never thought it would take me so long. Yet, not really long at all. I know.
It's funny how one's artistic development can parallel so with one's ability to be,
In do time, right? When I was ready to receive. Able to know, Yes!
When the student fully arrives, the teacher will come.
And I bow my head in gratitude.
Teachers. Pushers. Toward where we, together, want to go. Nudging with an
assured softness.
Healthy mothers who have weathered their own storms. Learned to move
Commit to help move you. Waiting with warm smile, knowing eyes, an open
Taking care.
Teachers who teach one to embrace their own stillness. The spaces in-between,
where learning can occur.
With a flash. You are awakened. By the mist of possibilities.
Deeply felt.
"if you feel it, they will too."
feeling like little bird
flying free from coup, for a third time
I emptied myself at door
you met me at the threshold
I walked in
not afraid
because I new what love could do
I new what to look for
because I felt it before
I had a good gauge
much like a surrender
not just college
for-life university
helped me re-gather my faculties
gave me space to practice grace
face my fears in a humble way
mark my territory
learning to Master myself
full circle from purgatory
given gift to glory
share my story
be thanks
as paradigms shift underfoot
sifting realities
I saddle up
and I say,
Thank You.

I did find it quite amusing watching the coverage of the Diamond Jubilee Thames River Pageant. A lot was made of how we haven't had one since the times of Charles II. Presumably, we are led to believe that such an event is incredibly rare and fitting for such an occasion. The reality is, that for virtually every coronation or Jubilee in recent centuries, we have held a Fleet Review, normally at Spithead in the Solent.
Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 was marked by a fleet review, as was the coronation of Edward VII in 1902. George V's coronation was marked in a similar fashion in 1911, as was his Silver Jubilee in 1935. A Coronation Review followed in 1937 for George VI. A Coronation Review was held for our current Queen in June 1953 (plan of the fleet at anchor), and then another for her Silver Jubilee in 1977 (plan of the fleet at anchor). The first major Royal event for over a century to not be marked by a fleet review was the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002 – ostensibly on the grounds of cost, but one suspects because we haven't got anywhere near enough ships to make a decent review. A Fleet Review was held in 2005 to mark the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar (list of ships present), and one suspects that this event was given primacy because international navies were probably more likely to attend a fleet review for this than one for a Golden Jubilee.
Much has been made of the fact that the Royal Navy has shrunk so much in intervening years that we do not have enough ships to form a large fleet review. In the opinion of this historian, it's just a sign of the changing of times. Britain no longer has an Empire, and thus no need for a navy the size of that that it had in the late Victorian period. I'm sure none of us would like the tax bills – and no doubt the bankruptcy – that would come from maintaining a massive fleet of warships without the finances to do it. Also, a cursory glance down the Royal Navy's Fleet Bridge Card shows that most ships are either on operations, about to go on operations, have just returned, or are in refit. There isn't much time for spit and polish in the modern, threadbare operational tempo.
But, as a Portsmouth person, it is a shame that the Solent cannot play its traditional part in marking such a major royal event. For all the wonderful post-modernist rhetoric about the Thames River Pageant, it is a face-saving event, make no mistake about it. Whatever the rights or wrongs about it, it is a sign of change.

Access to water prohibited until further notice
MEADE — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is advising the public to avoid contact with water in Meade State Fishing Lake, located 12 miles southwest of Meade in Meade County. Meade State Park is still open to campers and picnickers, but the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) has closed access to the lake.
KDHE has confirmed there is a toxic blue-green algae bloom in the lake, prompting a public safety advisory. Concentrations of these algae exceed the recommended level of 100,000 cells/ml by the World Health Organization for recreational water use.
Blue-green algae are found in most surface waters and in heavy concentrations form an algae bloom. Blue-green algae blooms often resemble green paint floating on the water; in fact blooms are often mistaken as paint spills. When blue-green algae die, they can produce an unpleasant smell. These blooms can cause a number of concerns, including production of toxins in the water affecting people, pets, and potentially fish and shellfish.
Algae blooms often result when nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) are present in the water and when temperature and other environmental conditions stimulate algae growth. The blooms result from long-term build up of nutrients in the water body. Concentrations of blue-green algae in water vary on a daily or even hourly basis due to prevailing winds and currents. In time, algae blooms naturally die off.
KDHE recommends the following precautions be taken at Meade State Lake:
- avoid ingesting lake water;
- avoid swimming or wading in lake water;
- avoid consuming any fish or shellfish from the lake until further notice because fish and shellfish may absorb toxins from the bloom; and
- keep pets from having contact with the water.
Exposure to toxins from the algae can cause illness and is dependent on the route of the exposure. Contact with the water, such as wading or swimming, can cause a skin rash, as well as eye, ear, and throat irritation. Ingestion or inhaling aerosols (such as water spray from jet-skiing or boating) of contaminated water can cause diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms. If you develop similar symptoms after contact with the lake water, seek medical care from your healthcare provider.
Animals, especially dogs, can also become ill. Ingestion of the water by pets or cleaning of their coats after contact with water are two common routes of exposure for animals. If your pet becomes ill soon after contact with the water, contact your veterinarian immediately.
KDHE and KDWP will continue to monitor the situation and rescind the advisory as soon as conditions warrant.
KDHE can be contacted during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, at 785-296-5500 if anyone has additional questions or concerns. To contact KDWP, phone the Meade State Park Office at 620-873-2572 or Mike Miller at the KDWP Pratt Operations Office, 620-672-0765.
Further information on algae and algae blooms can be found at online at http://www.kdheks.gov/befs/download/bibliography/BlueGreenAlgaeFactsheet_CEC_2004.pdf .

Julianne Hough returns to "Dancing with the Stars," to guest judge for the first time alongside Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba, Monday, Oct. 7 (8 p.m.), on ABC. Hough was a two-time professional champion on "Dancing with the Stars" before making a seamless transition to award-winning recording artist and actress.

Hi all,
does anybody knows about a software which can change the packets parameters on the fly. Changing packet fields according to the users consent.
Excuse me, is there an airport nearby large enough for a private jet to land?
What fields of what kind of packets? Ethernet? Tokenring? TCP/IP? IPX/SPX?
Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
etherenet and tcp/ip.
It is scene dependent. To elaborate, what you want to achieve is important here. Sure we can understand you need to modify the packets on the fly. But it will be good if you can state what is the purpose of doing so.
Sometimes, you may need to modify an existing tool, or under certain circumstances you may need to create your own as well.
Alongwith this you should state the operating system in question, on which you want to run the tool.
I think ettercap can server the purpose on *nix
http://www.networkchemistry.com/products/packetyzer/ for windows.
guru@linux:~> who I grep -i blonde I talk; cd ~; wine; talk; touch; unzip; touch; strip; gasp; finger; mount; fsck; more; yes; gasp; umount; make clean; sleep;
guys, thanks for the replies,
i was just curious that is there any piece of software that changes the packets parameters on the fly except iptables and ettercap. Suppose u r doing a port scan on a network using nmap e.g. 'nmap -sS -P0' and when the packets are sent from the nmap, (as the packets are made thru raw sockets so they will bypass the tcp/ip stack) so i wannt to trap the packets just before the device driver and then there parameters are changed and then given to the device driver. I m just curious is that possible using any available tools.
mmkhan it is perfectly possible.
You will have to write a linux kernel module , which will use netfilter hooks. Hook Pre Routing and you can acheve what you want.
documentation regarding netfilters and linux kernel modules on tldp.org and netfilter.org might prove to be helpful

**Updated Monday, March 27 9 PM**
At its March 27 meeting, the RRPS Board of Education approved boundary changes for Ernest Stapleton Elementary. The change takes effect in the 2017-18 school year:
The map above shows the affected areas (click on the map to enlarge). Below are links to maps that show the areas in greater detail:
--Option 1A detail map (North of Northern)
--Option 1C detail map (West of Unser)
--List of affected streets
The school board also approved two additional provisions to provide some flexibility to parents whose students will be moved:
--Parents in the affected areas may apply to transfer their student to any elementary school not closed to transfers in the Rio Rancho district, pursuant to the Open Enrollment Act. Parents will be required to provide their own transportation. Open schools include all RRPS elementary schools except for Stapleton, Maggie Cordova, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
--Parents of incoming fifth graders may opt to have their student remain at Stapleton for their fifth grade year, provided that they provide their own transportation. However, we are not able to extend this provision to siblings of incoming fifth graders.
The board and the steering committee extend their thanks to the parents and others who participated in the public forums and who provided comments and input as part of the process.
Ultimately, the construction of Joe Harris Elementary in Unit 11 will provide enrollment relief to Stapleton as well as to Puesta del Sol, Maggie Cordova, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary Schools. However, the opening of Joe Harris is a minimum of 4-5 years away and could be longer, especially given the state's fiscal crisis. With continued growth in some areas of the Stapleton zone, it would be beneficial to provide relief to Stapleton as soon as possible. The district plans to consider a more comprehensive, district-wide boundary adjustment next year.

The World Food Programme (WFP) draws-up Special Operations (SOs) to speed-up the movement of food aid, regardless of whether the food is provided by the Agency itself. Typically, they involve logistics and infrastructure work and are designed to overcome operational bottlenecks. As the United Nations' leading logistics agency, WFP is well placed to resolve these problems.
Special operations can cover:
- repairs to roads, bridges, railways;
- repairs to airports, port infrastructure and equipment;
- intermittent airlifts;
- provision of common logistics services including Joint Logistics Centres and communications initiatives.
Special Operations create the specific infrastructure needed for Emergency Operations
Such operations require input from a wide range of logistics experts, from those who upgrade ports and requisition warehouses, to truck drivers and telecom specialists.
Other organisations frequently rely on WFP logistics to reach the world's most hostile environments.
Special Operations are short-term in nature and usually complement Emergency Operations (EMOPs) or longer Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations (PRROs). Special Operations are funded by donor appeals carried out separately from the plea for funds covered under an EMOP or a PRRO.

BOSTON (AP) — The powerful storm ravaging the East Coast is upending the final week of campaigning in Massachusetts' grueling U.S. Senate race.
Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren both postponed any campaigning Monday and said their final debate should not happen as scheduled on Tuesday.
Brown said he was monitoring the storm, which was stripped of hurricane status but every bit as dangerous as it came ashore. Brown said he would work to make sure local communities receive any federal help needed.
Warren closed all her field offices for the day and canceled all public events. Warren asked her staff and volunteers to be ready to assist if needed.
The disruption comes as a new poll by The Boston Globe shows the race remains a virtual dead heat.

The streets of Beijing and Shanghai feel like an entrepreneurial free-for-all, full of mom-and-pop stores and street vendors selling snacks and cheap toys.
But when you pull back the curtain, you see a different picture: a country where the government still controls huge swaths of the economy.
When you're in China, there's a good chance you're doing business with the government every time you:
- make a call on your cellphone (the government owns the country's biggest cellphone network)
- buy gas for your car (the two biggest oil companies are owned by the government)
- smoke a cigarette (biggest tobacco company, also state-owned)
- get money from an ATM (from any of the nation's four biggest banks, all of which are state owned)
- fly on a plane (the government owns the country's three biggest airlines)
This system, known as state capitalism, has worked well for China so far. Over the past three decades, the country's economy has grown by an astonishing 10 percent per year.
But that kind of growth can't last forever, and it becomes particularly hard to sustain as China's economy reaches what economists call the "technological frontier" — the point at which growth comes from new innovations, rather than from adopting innovations created elsewhere.
So in the coming years, the Chinese government must loosen its grip or risk strangling the economy.
This is not just the prescription of outsiders: Its the core message of a report released today and co-authored by the Chinese government's own think tank along with the World Bank.
The report, called China 2030, says China needs to allow for more competition and innovation, but acknowledges that this may be tough — not least because of the all the vested interests getting rich in the current, state-run economy.
For More: Listen to our podcast, From Cellphones To Cigarettes: The Long Arm Of The Chinese Government
The streets of Beijing and Shanghai can feel like an entrepreneurial free for all. Restaurants, furniture stores, guitar stores.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Foreign language spoken).
CORNISH: This man is walking around Shanghai with a PA system strapped to his back. He's selling tours. When you pull back the curtain on China's economy, you see a different picture. An economy where many of the largest companies are owned by the Chinese government. A new report released today by the World Bank warns that could be a problem.
David Kestenbaum and Jacob Goldstein with our Planet Money team were in China and found the hand of the government everywhere.
DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: Say you have a cell phone in China. Good odds your cell phone network is China Mobile. That's the biggest cell phone network in China. It's owned by the Chinese government.
JACOB GOLDSTEIN, BYLINE: You get in your car to go for a drive. You get in your car and you need some gas. You see two gas stations, PetroChina and Sinopec.
KESTENBAUM: The two biggest Chinese oil companies, both owned by the government.
GOLDSTEIN: Maybe you want to fly instead. You can take China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines or Air China, the three biggest airlines in the country, all owned by the government.
KESTENBAUM: Get off the plane, light up a cigarette. China National Tobacco Corp. Yes. Also, state-owned. Go home, turn on the TV to watch the evening news. Turn on channel 16, also channel 17, also 18.
GOLDSTEIN: This is CCTV, also owned by the government. Not hard to find.
KESTENBAUM: Also channel 20, also channel 21, channel 22, also channel 23 and 24, but not on 25.
GOLDSTEIN: The four largest banks are also owned by the Chinese government. In fact, if you look at Fortune magazine's list of the 10 biggest companies in China, they're all controlled by the Chinese government.
KESTENBAUM: In the U.S., people sometimes complain about businesses being too cozy with government, about subsidies and lobbying and bailouts. Here in China, a lot of big businesses, they are the government. If you've heard that wonky phrase, state capitalism, this is what it means.
GOLDSTEIN: When we were in China, we talked with Huang Gong(ph), an economist who works closely with the government. We asked him about the banks. Why does the government own the banks?
HUANG GONG: (Foreign language spoken).
GOLDSTEIN: He said that during the financial crisis when banks in the West almost imploded, China's state-owned banks did just fine and, after the crisis, he said, they helped China recover quickly.
KESTENBAUM: That is the argument for state capitalism. Yes. The government runs all these things. It's doing what's best for China.
GOLDSTEIN: But that World Bank report out today, it's called China 2030. And it says, if the Chinese government does not start to loosen its grip, it could strangle China's economic growth.
KESTENBAUM: Here's a quote: The role of the government and its relationship to markets in the private sector need to change fundamentally.
GOLDSTEIN: The World Bank report was produced with the help of a Chinese government think tank. This suggests that, internally, the government is wrestling with this question: Just how far can state capitalism take China? I'm Jacob Goldstein.
KESTENBAUM: And I'm David Kestenbaum, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Thousands swarmed New York City's now-closed Domino Factory recently to marvel at Kara Walker's sugar-covered sphinx.
But, it turns out, nothing was quite as sweet as the mother-daughter fashion moment between Beyoncé and Blue Ivy.
In a series of snapshots uploaded to her website, Beyoncé, Jay Z and their 2-year-old can be seen taking in the artwork — and sneaking in a few snuggles!
And while we always love a glimpse at hip hop's royal family, we were even more excited when we noticed the songstress and her adorable Mini Me used the outing to show off their matching floral frocks from Dolce & Gabbana.
Courtesy Beyoncé; Inset: Courtesy Barneys
While Beyoncé paired her flirty Print Cotton Dress ($1,046) with white peep-toe pumps and a low bun, Blue wore the kiddie version ($390) with Mini Melissa's Ultragirl Jelly Kitty Flats ($50), a topknot and crown headband.
After coordinating outfits, manicures and swimsuits, we're pretty certain they have their mommy and me style down to a science at this point.
Our only question: when can we expect a mother-daughter collection from this adorable pair?

Privacy of Academic Records
Student Rights Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the university has established policies governing privacy and release of student record information.
Directory information
The university has designated certain personally identifiable information as directory information, which may be released at the university's discretion to anyone who makes a request.
- At Wayne State, directory information is defined as name, address, age or date of birth, level of education, major, degrees received, educational institution the student was most recently enrolled, honors, awards, email address, participation in sports or other activities, and the height and weight of members of athletic teams.
Students may restrict the release of directory information by filing a Request to Restrict Release of Directory Information Form with the Records and Registration Office.
Right to review and amend records
Students have the right to inspect and review their educational records, seek amendment of the records they believe to be inaccurate or in violation of their privacy rights, and consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in their records (except to the extent that the law authorizes disclosure without consent).
The university Registrar is charged with coordinating all requests to review your records. Requests to review or amend your records should be addressed to:

WARSAW, Poland – Police in Poland have appealed to residents to dress warmly and look out for elderly and homeless people, after saying that 61 people have died of the cold weather since October.
Another 41 have been killed by carbon monoxide inhalation from coal or other ways of heating their homes since temperatures started falling.
The Interior Ministry said Friday the death toll from sub-freezing temperatures that set in in December was 49 people so far, compared to 19 in the whole of December last year. Another 15 people died of cold in October and five in November.
In most cases the victims are homeless people, or people under the influence of alcohol that fell asleep outside.
Sub-freezing temperatures and snow are usual winter conditions in Poland.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut group says Vice President Joe Biden has offered to talk with families of the victims of last month's school shooting who would like to speak with him personally.
Biden is leading an Obama administration review of gun safety laws following the massacre of 20 first-graders and six women at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown.
Sandy Hook Promise, which recently changed its name from Newtown United, says in an email to the families that it could arrange a call or put relatives in touch with Biden's office. Group co-founder Tim Makris said Saturday it passed along the offer as part of its mission to aid the families.
White House officials have said the families will have an opportunity to share their views before President Barack Obama makes any decisions.
