LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Kirstie Alley described on Wednesday how she fell in love more than 20 years ago with John Travolta, and rejected widespread Hollywood speculation that the "Grease" star is secretly gay.
Alley, former star of the 1980s TV comedy "Cheers," told ABC television journalist Barbara Walters that she fell for both Travolta and actor Patrick Swayze in the 1980s, although their romances never got physical.
Alley, 61, said she was attracted to Travolta while the pair were making the 1989 movie "Look Who's Talking," calling him "the greatest love of my life."
"Believe me, it took everything I had inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John and be with John for the rest of my life," Alley told Walters in an interview broadcast on breakfast TV show "Good Morning America."
Asked by Walters to comment on persistent rumors about Travolta's sexuality, she said: "I know John with all my heart and soul. He's not gay."
Alley added: "I think in some weird way, in Hollywood, if someone gets big enough and famous enough, and they're not out doing drugs and they're not womanizing, what do you say about them?"
Travolta was single at the time, but Alley was on her second marriage, so she never pursued her feelings, she explained.
Travolta later married actress Kelly Preston, his wife for the past 20 years. But the actor was the target of two lawsuits earlier this year, which were quickly dropped, from two male masseurs who claimed Travolta made unwanted sexual advances.
Alley, who talks more about her love life in her new book, "The Art of Men," said she fell for Swayze while they were filming the 1985 Civil War TV miniseries "North and South."
"We did fall in love. I was more willing to break up my marriage and I wasn't willing to break up his marriage," Alley said, explaining why the relationship failed to go further.
Swayze, best known for his lead role in "Dirty Dancing," died of pancreatic cancer in 2009 at the age of 57. He was married to dancer Lisa Niemi from 1975 until his death.
Alley has been married twice. Her second marriage, to actor Parker Stevenson, ended in 1997.

Florida will spend 11 percent more than it did in 2009-10 to play in New Orleans.
The price of taking a team to the Sugar Bowl has risen for the Florida Gators three years after their last appearance in the game.
Because of more expenses being budgeted for travel and lodging, as well as two extra days of mini-camp back in Gainesville, Florida will spend 11 percent more than it did in 2009-10 to play in New Orleans, according to executive athletic director for external affairs Chip Howard.
All teams playing in BCS bowl games receive $1.825 million from the BCS. That amount hasn't changed since 2009. Florida, as it usually does for a BCS bowl, has allocated $550,000 extra to cover the costs of the trip.
That money is basically taken in advance from the money that Florida (as well as the other SEC schools) will receive from the conference this spring.
Florida will use two planes to fly out the team first and a traveling party later. Lodging at the New Orleans Riverfront Hilton will cost $320,000.
Florida will also pay out $927,223 to coaches and staff members as bonuses for making a BCS bowl game.
The total expenses for UF's trip to New Orleans is budgeted at $2.477 million. Including the $106,000 for mileage the program receives from the SEC and the $550,000 allocated to cover expenses, UF has budgeted for $2.481 in revenue.
The remainder of the $18 million that each BCS bowl team receives is sent to the league office, where it is divided 15 ways -- to the 14 teams and league office.
Last June, each SEC school received $20.1 million despite the bowl teams keeping $12.8 million for expenses. This year, there are nine SEC teams in bowl games.

Last photographed in Laos in 1999, a living Saola has been recorded by camera trap in central Vietnam. Three photographs of the same adult Saola were taken by an automatic camera trap set in a protected area, under a project by the Vietnamese government's Forest Protection Department and WWF. It shows the animal in early evening, moving along a rocky stream in the forest.
The Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) is one the world's most threatened large mammals, Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. The Saola Working Group of the IUCN SSC Asian Wild Cattle Specialist Group; a collaborative effort of 20 people representing 17 organizations is celebrating the announcement. "These are the most important wild animal photographs taken in Asia, and perhaps the world, in more than a decade. The pictures lift us with hope" said William Robichaud, Coordinator of the Saola Working Group.
One of the photos clearly shows the distinctive long horns of an adult Saola. "There is no doubt these are photos of a Saola" said Dr. Tom Gray, a member of the Saola Working Group and Manager of WWF Greater Mekong's Species, Protected Areas and Wildlife Trade program.
The Saola was first discovered in 1992 by a joint team of surveyors from Vietnam's Ministry of Forestry and WWF, near Vietnam's border with Laos. The team found a skull with unusual horns in a hunter's home and knew it was something extraordinary. The find proved to be the first large mammal new to science in more than 50 years.
In the area where the Saola was photographed, WWF's Preservation of Carbon Sinks and Biodiversity Conservation (CarBi) programme has implemented an innovative law enforcement model in which forest guards are recruited from local communities, and co-managed by WWF and Vietnamese government counterparts. One of their main activities is the collection of poachers' snares. "The primary threat to Saola is snaring" said Dr. Tom Gray. "These photos are an encouraging indication that the forest guards model is working".
According to the Saola Working Group, since the forest guard model was first piloted in 2011, forest guard teams have removed more than 30,000 illegal snares in four protected areas in the Saola's range; two areas in Viet Nam and two in Laos. "The sad thing is that all this snaring and hunting is driven mainly by Asia's commercial wildlife trade, yet Saola is one of the few animals in the region without a high price on its head" said William Robichaud.
"The photos are great news" said Dr. Barney Long, member of the Saola Working Group and the Director of Species Conservation Program at WWF-US; "but they in no way mean Saola is secure. In the short-term, we need to expand the forest guards to other areas in both Viet Nam and Laos, and in the long-term, support the governments of Laos and Viet Nam to strengthen their own protected area management and intensify their law enforcement efforts. Collaboration will be key."
WWF and the Saola Working Group will mobilize a team to return to the site as soon as possible, to gather information about the habitat and topography of the site. "We know so little about the ecology of Saola that we'll use this opportunity to learn as much as we can about this elusive species. It's very exciting" said Dr. Tom Gray.
The Saola Working group has an innovative plan to recover the species, which includes protection from snaring and hunting in the wild; building a young group of dedicated Vietnamese and Laotian Saola conservationists, and starting a captive breeding programme.

The Eagles acquired former Pro Bowl linebacker DeMeco Ryans in exchange for a fourth round draft pick and a swap of third round picks, sources confirmed Tuesday.
The Eagles, who had two fourth round selections in the upcoming draft, gave Houston their fourth pick in that round to get Ryans. The Texans also got the 77th overall pick while the Eagles now select 89th in the exchange of third rounders.
The team later officially announced the trade. Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com first reported the news.
The trade for Ryans gives the Eagles the legitimate starting middle linebacker they sorely lacked a year ago. The 27-year-old was a two-time Pro Bowl player early in his career (2007, 2009), but he ruptured his Achilles tendon in 2010.
He got off to a slow start last season and took some time getting used to playing in a newly-implemented 3-4 scheme, but he showed signs of his old self late in the year. Still, Ryans said he felt out of place in a 3-4. Now he gets his chance to move back into the middle alone.
He will have to pass a physical with the Eagles on Wednesday, however, for the trade to go through. Ryans is slated to earn approximately $12 million in base salary over the next two seasons.
"DeMeco is a proven Pro Bowl linebacker in this league and we're excited to be able to plug him into the middle of our defense," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "He's been the signal caller and a leader on a very good Texans defense for the last several years. He's a tough, instinctive football player and he'll be a great fit for our team."
The Eagles, expected by some to be players in free agency, took a pass on the linebackers on the market. Stephen Tulloch re-signed with Detroit today. Curtis Lofton remains unsigned. David Hawthorne and London Fletcher are also still available.
But the Eagles chose another route to get the linebacker that many thought they needed in the middle of their defense. They started training camp with rookie Casey Matthews in the middle, but he lost that job early in the season. Jamar Chaney slid over from strong-side into the middle and continued to play all three downs, but he lost playing time as the season wore on.
With the 6-foot-1, 248-pound Ryans on board, Chaney will likely move back to strong-side. Rookie Brian Rolle ended last season as the starting weak-side linebacker. Adding Ryans won't likely preclude the Eagles from addressing linebacker in the draft, although it is unlikely they'll expend a first-round pick at the position.
Ryans, originally a second-round draft pick in 2006, started in his first game as a pro and didn't miss a start for 70 games until he blew out his Achilles in 2010. He was a team captain starting in 2010. Ryans leaves Houston as the franchise's all-time leader with 637 tackles while also contributing eight sacks, six forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and two interceptions in his six-year career.
"We're thrilled to be able to add a young and productive linebacker in DeMeco Ryans," Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said. "We'd like to thank [Houston general manager] Rick Smith and the Texans. Once we found out that he could be available to us in a trade, we quickly found a way to work together to produce a good outcome for both teams."
After Ryans' physical -- should he pass -- he will meet with the media at the NovaCare Complex along with Reid and Roseman.

T.M. Harper has battled boll weevils since 1949 on the Ellis County, Texas, farm his grandfather bought in 1895. Thanks to an affirmative vote in a January boll weevil eradication referendum, cotton farmers in Ellis County, along with growers in 33 other Northern Blacklands counties and parts of two more, may not have to wage that weevil war much longer.
And after more than a-half-century matching wits with weevils, Harper considers cotton production without his long-time nemesis. "I won't miss it at all," he says. "Folks around here are as happy as can be that the referendum finally passed," Harper says.
The affirmative vote came on the third try.
"I wish we had passed it the first time around, when we had less weevil pressure," says Ellis County farmer Steve Patman, who has served on the Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation Inc., board.
Another Ellis County farmer, Steve Beakley, will represent the newly activated zone on the board. All three agree that getting rid of the weevil will make cotton production a lot easier.
"Over the last three years, we've averaged about $30 per acre to control boll weevils," Beakley says. "On top of that, we were still losing from one-fourth to one-third of a bale per acre. In some fields, we lost more than that."
Beakley says that even fields that never reached a high enough weevil population to justify spraying suffered losses. "At a low weevil population, 7 percent to 8 percent, they just picked at the cotton all year," he says. "Overall, I think they cost us 10 percent of production most years."
Patman figures his losses range from $60 to $75 per acre. "That includes control costs and probably at least a 100 pound-per acre yield loss." He says controls were not always effective. "We could spray one week and the next week find just as high a percentage of weevils in the field. If neighbors don't spray, too, we get frequent re-infestations. That's why eradication will work."
Harper says most years he lost the top crop on his cotton to weevils. "We made the best crop ever last year," he says. "But we stated over-winter weevil sprays early, about a week before most other growers."
"In years with adequate moisture, when we can make a top crop, weevils have kept us from making it," says Glen Moore, a Texas A&M integrated pest management specialist who works out of Waxahachie.
Harper made two over-winter weevil applications last year. "We might should have made one more in 2003," he says. "We might not have watched quite close enough." "T.M. always makes timely applications to protect those top bolls," Moore says.
Cotton production will change in the next few years as growers turn weevil control over to the Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation. Actual control begins next fall with diapause sprays. Applications begin when about 50 percent of the cotton reaches cracked boll stage.
Next spring, the Foundation will begin in-season control. Beakley says those weevil sprays likely will help growers with other pests as well. "Those blanket sprays will get some fleahoppers and other pests."
Moore says reports from the Southern Blacklands Zone support that theory.
"We could see as many as six to eight spray applications in the first growing season," Beakley says. After the first year and especially when weevil numbers decline to the point that the Foundation reduces sprays significantly, growers will begin to change the way they look at cotton pest control.
"It will be a learning process," Beakley says. "I expect the first year after the weevil is gone we'll find more aphids and spider mites."
Moore says stink bugs also may show up as an increasingly important cotton pest. "We're seeing more and more stink bugs in soybeans," he says. "I don't expect to see much change early on except that the Foundation will spray weevils for us," Patman says. "After that, we'll just have to see what new problems emerge. What we now consider secondary pests will probably become bigger problems."
Patman says he may plant more cotton because of eradication. 'I'll be able to grow cotton cheaper and make more of it," he says. "I usually make two over-winter weevil sprays. Some fields I don't have to spray again and some I have to spray another eight times. The last few years weevil pressure has been heavy."
Harper says early-season control will take on increased importance when the weevil no longer takes precedence. "We'll be more concerned with thrips and plant bugs," he says.
He says weevils have always taken a chunk out of cotton farmers' pocketbooks. He started a flying service in 1949 and spent a lot of his time spraying cotton fields for boll weevils. "I think 1959 and 1971 were the worst weevil years I ever saw," he says.
In some of the worst cases he sprayed for weevils 14 or 15 times. "Even at that, we often made a good crop." He says he's used a planeload of different materials over the years to control boll weevils and still the pest hung on. A concentrated effort that includes blanket insecticide applications on all cotton fields in the zone should put an end to the more than century-long war cotton farmers have waged against boll weevils, Beakley says. "I think we'll see results almost immediately."
The effort to activate the zone has been frustrating for some. Harper says a 2003 referendum failed to pass by less than 2 percent.
"Some of the farmers who voted against eradication in the past were some of its biggest supporters this last time," Patman says.
In the latest vote, 85 percent of legitimate ballots favored the referendum. "I expected it to pass but I didn't expect it to pass by that much," Harper says.
Reasons for success this time included the potential difficulty farmers could see in getting custom harvest equipment into the only area in the state not in an active eradication zone, Moore says. Quarantines also could have limited movement of cotton out of the area. And growers could have been hit with stiff fees on cotton moved into other zones.
"Increased pressure from the weevil and the necessity to improve efficiency also played important roles," Moore says. Beakley says proponents of the program have been working to get it passed for more than five years. Initial efforts started long before that, dating back to 1995.
He says the current economic outlook for cotton makes eradication even more important. "Unless we get more competitive, we can't continue to grow cotton," he says. "I hope boll weevil eradication will make us more efficient. We need to keep cotton in our rotation."
All three farmers say that even with exceptional years the past few years, profit has been difficult because of depressed prices.
"I'd like to know what the next farm bill will be like so I could know what changes I could make," Harper says. "I'd like to see the loan rate increased by 5 cents a pound. I don't think that will happen."
Beakley says he could not afford to be more aggressive with boll weevil control. "If we had 80 cent cotton, we might could do more," he says. "But we've been doing about all we can."
Moore says the Foundation has a lot of work to do to prepare for the fall diapause program. "They have to hire folks, set up an office and get everything in place," he says. "Hiring the right people will be a crucial part of the program."
Beakley says one thing a steering committee must do is to establish a crop destruction rebate "before we get too involved in the program."
The Northern Blacklands Boll Weevil Eradication Zone includes 34 counties and parts of two more and stretches from the Northeastern corner of the state southward to around Waco. The zone includes about 76,000 acres of cotton, Beakley says.
Growers will pay no more than a $13.25 per acre assessment to support the eradication effort.

Few things shock a sleepy audience awake better than a rash of startling statistics. Mike Byrnes did just that at his early morning presentation at the 2013 FSI OneVoice Conference in San Diego on Tuesday.
The proprietor of Massachusetts-based Byrnes Consulting hammered advisors in the audience over their use (or lack of thereof) of social media marketing.
"A few years ago, most advisors weren't using social media," Byrnes (left) said. "Now many have tried it and have dropped it, something I call iQuit. If so, they're making a big mistake, because change is coming, and it's coming exponentially rather than in the traditional linear fashion."
The session, titled "Social Media—A Communications Revolution," began by noting these four powerful facts:
- Ninety-two percent of the world's data was created in just the past two years.
- Today's smartphone would have been the most powerful computer in the world in 1985.
- About 120 million people in the U.S. now own smartphones, up 30 million in just the past year.
- More than 48 million people own a tablet, representing a staggering growth of 300% from last year. The tablet is, in fact, the fastest growing electronic device ever created.
Specifically zeroing in on Facebook, Byrnes noted that each week, more than 3.5 billion pieces of content are shared; in November alone, it had 150 million unique visitors in the U.S., and 10% of total minutes spent online were spent on Facebook.
"What does this mean for advisors?" he rhetorically asked. "It's where they need to be, because it's where their prospects are spending the majority of their time."
He added that it's critical for advisors to have a good reputation on the web—or as he called it "a good webutation."
"If you don't have a good webutation, you won't be found," he said.
He doesn't believe the Internet will replace referrals as the primary source of new business (at least not yet), but the two complement each other.
"Once a prospect is referred to you, they will research you online before coming to see you."
He said a good opportunity to build trust prior to meeting prospect is through the use of online video. Employing more statistics to back his point, he listed the following:
- A fifth of Google searches each day have never been searched for before.
- About 182 million U.S. Internet users watched 38.7 billion online videos in December.
- 84.9% of the U.S. Internet audience viewed online video.
"YouTube is now the second-largest search engine," he concluded. "If a picture says 1,000 words, a video says much more."

You can start working in a high-paying business field with just an associates (AA), or a bachelors degree (BBA). To begin, browse accredited degree programs and certificate courses online. If you complete the human resources program, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you, such as project management, employment screening, or corporate training. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Morgan State.
Human resources specialists must recruit, screen, and interview job applicants. They often are tasked with other duties such as compensation and benefits, and employee training. To fill a job opening, human resources managers may choose to recruit on-campus at a local university, sponsor a job fair, or simply place job ads online. Each method has advantages in employment screening, and built-in drawbacks. Although the best candidates would be hired through recruiting, the resources required may be prohibitive. Online ads would attract a larger applicant pool, but many applicants may lack proper qualifications.
There are a variety of approaches to personnel management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the main idea is to list out specific project objectives, and create a working timeline of both interviewing and personnel selection. Hiring decisions must take into account a limited advertising budget, as well as the necessity of maintaining low employee turnover. With a bachelors degree, the average salary in 2015 was $58,350 annually.

By John Irish
PARIS (Reuters) - France wants to cut its forces in Mali sharply by the year-end and is urging its ex-colony to hold elections in July, but an Islamist insurgency is threatening that timetable.
Many people in northern Mali who lived under the rebels' brutal form of Islamic law last year are apprehensive about French plans to leave just 1,000 of the current 4,000 troops in the country by December, with U.N. peacekeepers filling the gap.
"The Islamists are waiting for the French to leave to open the gates to hell. Let's hope the U.N. will take over quickly because the Malian army alone cannot face the terrorism threat," said Alhassane Maîga, a teacher in the ancient trading post of Timbuktu.
Last weekend Islamist militants launched their second attack on Timbuktu in a fortnight, shortly after French President Francois Hollande insisted the elections must take place as scheduled and unveiled the plan to slash troop numbers.
Launched in January, the French-led offensive quickly succeeded in pushing a mix of Islamists out of their northern strongholds and remote mountain bases, hitting the local leadership of the al Qaeda-linked groups.
But new clashes have followed a handful of suicide attacks and raids on towns won back from the rebels, underscoring the task of securing the country as France prepares to hand over to the Malian army and a 7,000-strong regional African force.
The nightmare scenario is that of a repeat of the Afghan war, where Taliban insurgents have prevented a full pull-out of NATO-led troops after a 13-year conflict that has cost tens of thousands of lives.
Presidential and legislative elections due in July are vital steps to stabilizing the gold and cotton producer after a military coup a year ago left a power vacuum which the rebels exploited to make gains.
"We're doing everything we can to ensure the elections happen in that timeframe," said a senior Malian government official speaking on condition of anonymity. "But if you ask me what could stop them (pulling out), I'd say: security, security, security."
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius travels to Mali on Friday to make sure the main political players know what France's priorities are and that they are doing all they can to keep the political timetable on track.
Hollande has made it clear France's history of propping up African leaders indefinitely is over. He was quick to intervene against the militants who he argues could emerge as a global jihadist threat, but stresses the longer-term military, political and economic solutions must come from Malians and Africans first.
But the clock is already against him. The U.N. Security Council will vote this month to turn the current French and African mission into a U.N. peacekeeping force by July. If security does not quickly improve, French diplomats acknowledge it could be hard to justify an early winding down of troops.
"The fear is that the jihadists that have spread out will return when we leave," said one French diplomatic source. "The real political risk for us is if something serious then happens on the ground."
Caretaker Malian President Dioncounda Traore's announcement in late-January of presidential elections on July 7 and the parliamentary vote by July 31 answered a demand of Western governments which backed France's intervention.
Despite the attack in Timbuktu, Paris remains sure a good portion of the military work has been accomplished and that the withdrawal plans can be kept. It has promised to keep a rapid intervention force to fight militants if needed.
"From a security perspective things are better, but now we have to reinforce this improvement by extending that politically and through economic development," Fabius said. "We need democratic legitimacy ... Malians must express what they want for their future," he said before his visit to the capital Bamako, which lies in the country's south.
The French diplomat put the message more bluntly: "We have pushed forward the calendar to shake the Malians up a bit ... It's easy for them to let us do all the work, but at some point they need to move politically."
Officials believe the technical side of holding elections by July is possible as long as political parties agree to certain concessions, such as accepting that it may be too complicated for all refugees or displaced Malians to vote.
French officials also say that any later than July would delay elections until the end of the year due to heavy rains.
But a sporadic insurgency coupled with a slow process in negotiating with disenfranchised Tuareg separatists in the north, who have vowed to remain armed until they have certain guarantees, may also scupper Hollande's plans.
African and Malian officials privately fear France's early exit and few believe elections are possible in July. Those locals who lived under rebel rule, which included amputations as a form of punishment, are bracing for the worst.
"The withdrawal of 3,000 French troops in the northern cities would signify an abandonment and catastrophe," said Maîga, the Timbuktu teacher.
Mali's army, which is now being re-trained by European Union advisers, remains in tatters after the coup and a string of morale-sapping defeats last year. African troops have mostly stayed in the south and many lack logistics, funding and training, although a U.N. mandate could ease that burden.
Adding to general concerns, coup leader Captain Amadou Sanogo remains influential in Bamako.
"There is a lot of goodwill from Hollande, but the reality on the ground will mean that elections will be pushed back until after the rainy season," predicted a senior African diplomat.

State reaches agreement to enable one coal plant to be built at Holcomb
Parkinson agrees to build single facility with 'green' offsets
Read more
Topeka ? In a stunning development, Gov. Mark Parkinson and Sunflower Electric Power Corp. on Monday signed an agreement over the coal-fired electric power project that has strangled Kansas politics for nearly two years.
Under the deal, Sunflower Electric will reduce the size of its proposal from two 700-megawatt coal-fired plants to one 895-megawatt coal-burning plant in southwest Kansas.
The agreement includes mitigation projects aimed at reducing the carbon dioxide footprint of the plant and is contingent on the Legislature adopting green energy provisions pushed by Parkinson during the current wrap-up session.
Combining the mitigation and green energy proposals, Parkinson said, "It is entirely possible that the carbon impact print of this plant is zero or perhaps even less than zero."
If enacted, the proposal would end a political standoff that started in 2007 when Kansas made international news after the state's Health and Environment secretary, Rod Bremby, rejected the project because of concerns about carbon dioxide emissions.
Supporters of the plants were furious and pushed through legislation to try to force Bremby to allow the project, but former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius vetoed those bills four different times.
She criticized the plants as polluters that would add to global warming, while most of the power from the project would go to out-of-state customers. She had offered to let Sunflower build one 660-megawatt plant, but Sunflower and its main partner, Colorado-based Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, said that wasn't economically feasible.
Sebelius' lieutenant governor, Parkinson, was one of the project's staunchest critics. But last week, Sebelius was named secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, elevating Parkinson to the governor's job.
Almost immediately upon taking office, Parkinson said he reached out to see whether there was room for negotiation with Sunflower.
At a news conference Monday, standing beside Sunflower Electric's president and CEO, Earl Watkins, Parkinson said the proposed deal would be "a win-win for the entire state" because it would produce jobs while establishing in law renewable energy standards and encouraging wind development.
Watkins was just as effusive.
"This project will be the cleanest project from virtually every emissions perspective, especially from a CO2 perspective," he said.
Opponents not persuaded
The Kansas chapter of the Sierra Club said it was disappointed in the deal.
"Today, Kansas took a big step backward. We cannot build new coal plants and claim to want to slow global warming at the same time," the group said in a statement.
Tom Thompson, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, said the organization would evaluate the agreement closely before deciding what to do about it.
State Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, also expressed concerns. "We need to be reducing the amount of electricity we are getting from coal," she said. The Lawrence City Commission had opposed the project.
But state Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, said he was encouraged by the developments.
"My initial read of this agreement is that this is very good news for the state of Kansas," Holland said.
Combines coal, wind
Under the deal, Sunflower Electric would build an 895 megawatt coal-burning power plant that would emit 6.672 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. That is down from the proposal to build two 700-megawatt plants that would have emitted 11 million tons of CO2 per year. Kansas would still only use 200 megawatts of power, while the remaining 695 megawatts would be sent to other states, primarily Colorado.
As proposed, the project will include offsets to reduce CO2 emissions by 3.016 million tons per year.
These offsets include developing 179 megawatts of wind energy; achieving renewable energy standards; using 10 percent of biomass fuel; development of two transmission lines for the western grid, which can be used to transmit wind energy; decommissioning oil-fired power units in Garden City; and development of a biodigester to capture methane, and an algae reactor.
The agreement is contingent on passage of a comprehensive energy package that includes making federal clean energy air standards the guidance for state regulations; renewable portfolio standards; net metering; energy efficiency; state vehicle fuel economy standards; expanded authority for the Kansas Electric Transmission Authority; and compressed air energy storage.
Jobs needed, some say
Holland said the estimated 1,500 jobs created by construction of the plant combined with the additional wind energy that will result from the project made it worthwhile.
"The one plant deal is contingent on passage of a comprehensive energy plan by the Legislature, and we also come away with an additional 180 megawatts of wind as well as transmission lines that can link our Kansas wind farms to the western U.S. grid," he said.
But Francisco said another provision in the energy package that Parkinson wants would allow more electric cooperatives to opt out of oversight of the Kansas Corporation Commission.
"That would be reducing protections for individual members of cooperatives," she said.
Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, House Republican leaders and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce praised the deal.
Should the Legislature enact the energy package and Sunflower receive state permits, it may still face opposition on the federal level, where President Barack Obama has signaled a willingness to regulate CO2 emissions.
But Sunflower's Watkins sounded optimistic, saying, "If there is federal legislation that comes out that puts a burden on a coal plant, I'd rather have a coal plant that is the most efficient, least emitting coal plant," he said.
He said construction on the plant could start in a year to 18 months, and then take four years to complete.
Parkinson and Watkins signed the agreement to dissolve a federal lawsuit Sunflower filed against the state.

Audi's Certified Pre-Owned Program is an Industry Leader in Quality
Before you visit just any old used car dealership, stop for a minute to think about the benefits you could enjoy with a professionally-maintained, competitively-priced Certified Pre-Owned Audi from your local Austin Audi dealer.
Explore certified pre-owned inventory online to see new deals and local promotions, and to filter your selection by location, price, model, year, color, or driveline/transmission. If you find something that fits your lifestyle, be sure to contact your dealer for more information.
Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Audi Instead of a Used Luxury Car?
While many automakers offer a selection of quality-controlled and inspected used cars, only Audi's Certified Pre-Owned program takes reconditioning to the highest level of assurance.< /p>
Vehicles submitted for potential certification must fit Audi's very strict criteria:
- Must be within five years of the current model-year
- Must have less than 60,000 miles on odometer
- Must pass a thorough 300+ point inspection
Only the highest-quality select few get to wear Audi's Certified Pre-Owned stamp. These models offer exclusive benefits to their new drivers, like special financing available for qualified buyers, 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty, 24-hour customer support, complimentary service loaners, and six-years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) of total warranty coverage that is transferable to new owners.

To remind you of the background: Kleostratos has taken his loyal slave Daos with him while he is serving as a mercenary in Lycia. Initially the army is succesful and Kleostratos acquires a large amount of plunder. He then orders Daos to take the loot home
Is esential for Meanader to get Daos away from the main camp to the coast (but no further) before the battle that is about to ensue for 3 reasons.
The loot must remain safe.
Daos must be far enough away for him not to witness what actually happens to Kleostratos.
He must not get so far away (by setting sail for instance) that he can't easily return to the site of the battle and so discover the battered shield of Kleostratos held by a bloated unrecognizable body that he takes to be Kleostratos.
It is in the following sentence he does it:
Daos is speaking this is lines 40-47:
ἐγὼ μὲν ἐξώρμων ἕωθεν, ᾗ δ' ἐγὼ ἀπῇρον ἡμέρᾳ λαθόντες τοὺς σκοποὺς τοὺς ἡμετέρους οἱ βάρβαροι λόφον τινα ἐπίπροσθ' ἔχοντες ἔμενον, αὐτομόλων τινῶν πεπυσμένοι τὴν δύναμις ἐσκεδασμένην – ὡς δ' ἐγένεθ' ἑσπέρα κατὰ σκηνάς θ' ἅπαν ἦν τὸ στρατόπεδον ἔκ τε χώρας ἄφθονα ἅπαντ' ἐχούσης, οἷον εἰκὸς γίνεται - ἐβρύαζον οἱ πλεῖστοι.
This is my attempt at a translation:
I on the one hand was setting out in the morning, on the other hand as I was departing on that day, escaping the notice of our scouts, the barbarians occupying a place behind a hill were waiting having learnt from certain deserters that the force was scattered; as it became night all the army was distributed among the tents having in abundance all the things from the region it was possible to happen the probable; the majority took to reveling.
First the elisons. What does "ἐπίπροσθ' " of "λόφον τινα ἐπίπροσθ' " expand to? And what does "θ' " "κατὰ σκηνάς θ' " expand to?
I get that ἐγένεθ expands to ἐγένετο.
Then there is ἐξώρμων and ἀπῇρον. I'm not sure my problem is the aspect as I have indicated in the subject line. If the setting out and departing refers to setting sail then it is clear that the imperfect is the only choice. It is clear that Daos has not set sail when survivors from the battle start arriving on the coast having fled from the inland camp. However, I'm fairly certain that what is described is Daos setting out from the inland camp and the departing is his journey from the camp and this is being done simultaneously with the quiet preparations of the enemy. Hence something of the sense "While I was heading towards the coast the enemy were gathering their forces for the attack."
But the construction is a bit more complicated than that.
First off the setting out is clearly a completed action so it might be expected that it would be in the aorist. Of course, Menander isn't at this stage focused on whether Daos actually completes the journey. As a process setting out and departing is what Daos is doing to fill in the time while the enemy ominously build up their forces. Hence making the journey to the coast imperfect draws the focus onto the enemy's preparations so leading us to expect the coming defeat. But then I would have expected ἐξώρμων and ἀπῇρον to be bracketed together. Instead using a μεν - δε contrast ἀπῇρον is bracketed instead with the enemies preparation for the attack.
It is at this point when I almost feel that I understand the sentence I feel it sliding away from me.
ἕωθεν now inserted. A thank you to mwh for spotting that I'd missed it out.

(CNN) -- By nearly all accounts, 12-year-old Kali Hardig should not be alive.
During a swim at a water park in July, she contracted parasitic meningitis, a rare infection caused by brain-eating amoebas that has a survival rate less than 1%.
Only two patients had been known to survive in the last half-century.
But Kali is a fighter and, against all odds, she made it. Wednesday, after nearly seven weeks, she finally left the hospital.
"It's awesome to be home," Kali told CNN's Kate Bolduan on "New Day" Thursday morning.
Kali can take a few steps on her own, and she's been undergoing rehab. On Monday morning, she'll reach another milestone: she'll head back to school part-time. She'll be in class in the morning, and in physical and speech therapy in the afternoons.
"I was determined that I wasn't going to lose her," Kali's mom, Traci Hardig, told Bolduan. "I'm so thankful and blessed... it's just a miracle."
Uncharted territory
Soon after entering the Arkansas Children's Hospital earlier this summer, Kali was in critical condition; she was unresponsive and unable to breathe without the assistance of a breathing tube.
Kali's doctors have been in virtually uncharted territory as they treat her for the rare amoeba, called Naegleria fowleri. Of 128 known cases in the past half-century, just two patients have survived, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"We decided that we were just going to tell (Kali) she was very sick, and she had to fight like Mom does because Mom has been battling cancer," Traci said. "And then we were going to ask everybody to pray for her."
Dr. Sanjiv Pasala, one of Kali's attending physicians, said doctors immediately started treating her with an anti-fungal medicine, antibiotics and a new experimental anti-amoeba drug doctors got directly from the CDC. They also reduced the girl's body temperature to 93 degrees. Doctors have used that technique in some brain injury cases to preserve undamaged brain tissue.
Two weeks ago, doctors checked the girl's cerebral spinal fluid and could not find any presence of the amoeba.
Pasala said that while other cases have not met with such favorable results, what may have made a real difference is that Kali's mother got her to the hospital so quickly.
"It was a long haul. We were in ICU for 22 days," Traci said. "It was like riding a rollercoaster -- I mean, one moment things would be going good, and then the next moment something else could happen."
'Death within one to 12 days'
Kali is one of two 12-year-olds who recently contracted the amoeba. Zachary Reyna of Florida died last month of the parasite, even after receiving the same experimental drug that was given to Kali. He contracted the amoeba after kneeboarding in a water-filled ditch by his house August 3, his family told CNN affiliate WBBH.
Naegleria fowleri is found in hot springs and warm fresh water, most often in the southeastern United States.
Between 2001 and 2010, there were 32 reported cases in the United States, the CDC says. Most of the cases were in the Southeast.
The amoeba enters the body through the nose and travels to the brain. You cannot be infected with the organism by drinking contaminated water, the CDC says.
The first symptoms of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis appear one to seven days after infection, including headache, fever, nausea, vomiting and a stiff neck, according to the CDC.
"Later symptoms include confusion, lack of attention to people and surroundings, loss of balance, seizures and hallucinations," the government agency's website states. "After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and usually causes death within one to 12 days."
'One of the most severe infections'
Willow Springs Water Park in Little Rock is the most likely source of Kali's infection, according to a news release from the Arkansas Department of Health. Another case of the same infection, also called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, was reported in 2010 and was possibly linked to Willow Springs.
"Based on the occurrence of two cases of this rare infection in association with the same body of water and the unique features of the park, the ADH has asked the owner of Willow Springs to voluntarily close the water park to ensure the health and safety of the public," the news release said.
Dr. Dirk Haselow of the Arkansas Department of Health told CNN affiliate WMC that Kali's case was "one of the most severe infections that we know of."
"Ninety-nine percent of people who get it die," Haselow said.
But not Kali. She wasn't about to give up that easily. "Thank you for praying for me, everybody," she said on "New Day."
Traci has a message for parents out there who might be wondering how they can keep their children safe against this microscopic amoeba.
"If you believe that there's something more wrong with your daughter or your son than a simple virus or stomach flu, stay in there, hang in there. Talk to the doctor... and reassure them that this is not a normal illness."

Hi everyone,
I am new to QlikView extension development. I am using QVServer 10 to develop an extension at the moment and just getting bit by bit success.
The following questions would need some expert opinion:
1) How to retrieve all list objects from the current page? at the moment, i did the following but obviously it is not a right solution.
mname = "LB" + ((i < 10)?("0"+i):i);
var lb = this.GetQvObject(mname, function(){
if (this==null||this.Data==null)return;
2) Any function could use to show me the active object?
Thanks a lot and appreciate your help in advance!!
Thomas Lo
Hi All,
Even I have a requirement for the same .Can somebody please help me with the code?

So it's not Tuesday; sue me.
September sees the last (for awhile anyway) month with two Classic Doctor Who DVD releases. We're running down the list of unreleased stories, and there truly ain't many left. The two we get this month could not be more different, as they come at nearly the complete opposite ends of the show's run. First, one of the final unreleased First Doctor stories, 1964's "Planet of Giants," the story that began Season 2; second, a special 2-disc edition of "Vengeance on Varos," the Sixth Doctor story from Season 22. If William Hartnell would have known that twenty years later his part would be played by Colin Baker, I wonder what he'd have said. Probably something irascible followed by "Hmm?"
As was common for a good portion of the Classic Series, "Planet of Giants" was filmed at the end of the first season, but not broadcast until the beginning of the second. Back in those days, there was a new episode around 40 weeks out of the year. Think about that; they were doing eight times as many episodes in 1963 as there are episodes in 2012. Boggles the mind. "Planet of Giants" is also notable for having been scripted and even shot as a four-parter, but trimmed down too three parts when BBC Head of Drama Sydney Newman (the guy who created the damn show) said the pacing was off. Episodes 3 and 4 were spliced together and none of the excised footage exists today. More on that later.
The story takes place on contemporary Earth; however, due to the TARDIS door being slightly ajar during materialization, the ship and her crew are shrunken down. In an interesting turn, there is also a murder mystery going on in the regular-sized world. A scientist refuses to sign off on an industrialist's new insecticide on the grounds that it kills everything, even things it shouldn't. The Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and the Doctor's granddaughter Susan must somehow aid in the solving of this murder, escape the insecticide themselves, and get back to the TARDIS and attempt to be made normal sized again.
It's a truly unique story in the annals of the show. Aside from the whole "being small" thing, there's nothing sci-fi about the story at all. There's a very small guest cast and the four regulars don't interact with any of them, spending all of their screen time among large scale models of ants, wheat kernels, and matchbooks. There's some really great stuff from all the main actors and particularly Jacqueline Hill as Barbara, who was always much more subtle than you'd expect. Having now seen this adventure again, it may well be one of my favorite Hartnell stories. It's just so strange, especially when you see that it is followed by "The Dalek Invasion of Earth," which is full of big sets, locations, and a fairly huge guest cast.
The main extra is a reconstruction of episodes 3 and 4 as they were, using the original script. William Russell (Ian) and Carol Ann Ford (Susan) came back nearly 50 years after the fact to record their dialogue and guest actors are brought in to approximate the rest of the cast. The guy doing Hartnell is particularly excellent. The visuals are stitched together using dubbed-over existing footage, new shots made to look old, and rudimentary CGI. The result is interesting if not always effective. Still, it's cool to see what the story might have looked like if not for Sidney Newman's mandate.
There is a brief making-of for this reconstruction featuring interviews with the people who made it happen. Also aboard are interviews with Carol Ann Ford and the now-late producer Verity Lambert recorded as part of the 2003 documentary, "The Story of Doctor Who." The audio commentary for this is a bit strange, given that aside from Russell and Ford, no one else involved in the cast or main crew are still alive. As such, we get to hear from vision mixer Clive Doig, special sound creator Brian Hodgson, make-up supervisor Sonia Markham, and floor assistant David Tilley. Moderator Mark Ayres does a good job of getting the most out of this eclectic group of behind-the-scenes folk.
Bottom line – Good First Doctor story; worth a buy.
Season 22 of Doctor Who was a sharp contrast to the way things had been done before. This is the one and only classic season to have 45-minute episodes as opposed to the usual 24-ish. As a result, most stories are comprised of two of these longer episodes instead of the usual four. This season also had a marked increase in onscreen violence and a much more cynical tone, due in no small part to script editor Eric Saward's belief in "the darker, the better." This is the season that nearly killed the show, and, after it, Doctor Who went on an 18-month hiatus before returning with a truncated season returned to 24-minute episodes, which would be the norm for the rest of the run. There aren't many stories I truly enjoy from this season, but "Vengeance on Varos" is certainly one of them.
The planet Varos is not a nice place to live. The Governor's every decision must be okayed by a vote from the people, and, should he be voted down, he is immediately subject to the possibly fatal Human Cell Disintegration Bombardment. Torture of rebels is broadcast live for the enjoyment of the citizens, as is just about everything. The Doctor and Peri are in desperate need of the precious metal Zeiton-7 to fix the TARDIS, which Varos has in spades. The price of this ore is being haggled by the Governor and Sil, the representative of the Galatron Mining Corporation. Sil is a greedy, nasty tadpole of a creature and has swindled Varos out of the proper price for the ore for decades, leaving the Varosians with next to nothing. The Doctor arrives just as a rebel is to be put to death over the television. He, of course, stops the murder and is immediately made a fugitive. Now, he must persuade the Governor to renegotiate with Sil before everybody is summarily executed.
There's a lot of foreshadowing in this story, from the use of CCTV to the perpetuity of reality television. There are two characters, Arak and Etta, who simply watch what's happening on their home television and comment. The story drew fire from watchdog groups for having a scene where two guards are pushed into an acid bath and the Doctor simply makes a wry comment. Hardly the moral authority that he had been up to this point. The character of Sil (played by Nabil Shaban) is truly repugnant and loathsome, and because of this is easily one of the most memorable villains in the later Classic Series. He eventually returned in episodes 5-8 of "The Trial of a Time Lord." It's a much better story than would be expected, but it is exceedingly dark and there's an air of death all around. Fun, if you're into that sort of thing.
This was one of the earliest DVD releases, back before there was much in the way of extras, so it was a prime candidate for a two-disc special edition. The extras consist mostly of behind-the-scenes footage, outtakes, and clips from other programs, but there are some newly-produced features as well.
There is a 30-minute making-of hosted by Matthew Sweet (not the musician) featuring interviews with writer Philip Martin, script editor Eric Saward, and other members of the cast and crew. I always like making-ofs, no matter how short. There's a feature entitled "The Idiot's Lantern," which is seven minutes long and discusses how Doctor Who has used television in its storytelling. The other main feature besides the vintage material is another installment of "Tomorrow's Times," a look at the contemporary press reaction to the specific Doctor in question. This is one of the better ones in this series for sure, as Colin Baker's time on the show was anything but easygoing. Also, there's the commentary from the 2002 release featuring Baker, Nicola Bryant (Peri) and Nabil Shaban (Sil).
Bottom Line: There aren't many Sixth Doctor stories at all, and even fewer good ones; this one is absolutely worth a look.
For those interested, I will be hosting a screening of "Planet of Giants" in association with BBC Home Entertainment at LA's Nerdmelt Showroom inside Meltdown Comics at 2pm, Saturday, September 29th. Come on by; it's FREE!
Next month, we go back to Pertwee with the very long-awaited release of Season 7's "The Ambassadors of Death."

Del Rio declines to address USC rumors
Del Rio declines to address USC rumors
Oct. 03, 2013
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Jack Del Rio only wanted to talk about the Cowboys, not the Trojans.
In his first for-the-record comments since his name's been bandied about as a possible replacement for Lane Kiffin at USC, Del Rio declined Thursday to address speculation he might return to his alma mater.
Asked if he'd been contacted by USC, the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator said, "No. No. No, there's nothing to speak on that subject. I'm really here to talk about the Cowboys and our preparation in getting ready for them."
That was it. No outright denial of interest. No reiteration that he's committed to seeing this thing through in Denver.
That's how his players see it, though.
"We feel like he's going to be here," safety David Bruton said. "We have a great thing going here and we've definitely thrived under his tutelage, so it can't be anything we worry about."
The Broncos (4-0), owners of the NFL's stingiest run defense, visit Dallas (2-2) this weekend.
Kiffin was fired Sunday and replaced by interim coach Ed Orgeron, but Del Rio's name quickly rose to the top of the rumor mill as a potential replacement because of his ties to USC, where he was an All-American linebacker in the 1980s and also teammates with Mark McGwire and Randy Johnson on the Trojans baseball team.
There was even an erroneous sighting of Del Rio at LAX Sunday night that set Twitter abuzz, which Broncos coach John Fox got a big kick out of, seeing how he was sitting across from him at a Denver steakhouse celebrating their big win over the Eagles.
Earlier this week, Fox said Del Rio, who is under contract through February, was "definitely qualified" for the USC position but was focused on his current job. Asked whether he'd allow Del Rio to pursue the position if he's interested, Fox demurred, saying: "I've seen plenty of job openings in my life in football. Like always, there are 8,000 candidates. Any point that it gets serious and potential, we'll keep you posted."
Although it generally works the other way around, there is precedent for NFL coaches going to the college ranks. Bill O'Brien finished out his contract as the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator before going to Penn State last year. In 2007, Bobby Petrino resigned as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons after 13 games to become Arkansas's head coach.
Del Rio joined Fox's staff in Denver last year after serving as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11, and the Broncos had the league's No. 2 defense last year.
By returning to Denver this year, he became the first Broncos defensive coordinator to serve consecutive seasons since Larry Coyer in 2006. Without having to learn a new scheme, Denver's defenders built upon that foundation and have served as productive partners to Peyton Manning's high-powered offense.
The Broncos are outscoring opponents by an average of 45-23 and they've won 15 straight regular-season games by seven or more points, the second-longest streak behind the 1941-42 Bears (16).
Del Rio has done a deft job of keeping the Broncos rolling without their two superstars. All-Pro linebacker Von Miller is serving a six-game drug suspension and perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey (foot) missed the first month of the season.
Keep this up and Del Rio's name could surface for any number of head coaching jobs in the NFL this offseason.
"That's just the nature of the business," Bruton said. "You expect change and if there's not change, it's a great thing."
Chatter about Del Rio's potential candidacy at USC apparently stops at the locker room door, though.
"We don't think or talk about stuff like that," defensive end Robert Ayers said. "We're in the here and now. That's where he is, that's where we are."
Del Rio's style is a big hit with the Broncos, Ayers said: "I think he's a great NFL defensive coordinator. He's proven that over his long time here as a great defensive mind in the pro game. And heck, we've done nothing but improve each year. So, his resume speaks for itself."
Bruton said that while Del Rio hasn't addressed the USC speculation directly with the players, he certainly doesn't seem distracted at all, and neither do the players.
"We know it's a business. We know that he's going to take care of it professionally, whatever the situation may bring," Bruton said. "His top priority, and he's definitely shown it, is us."
Notes: LB Danny Trevathan was a full participant at practice 24 hours after being carted off the field with a knee injury. ... WR Eric Decker (ankle) returned to practice. ... K Matt Prater was limited with a right calf injury.

I have no idea why, but my fridge has too much ricotta cheese and an abundance of Meyer lemons! Then I remembered a recipe from Bobby Flay (Food Network) on making ricotta pancakes. It's been over a year since I've made these, so I went to my "Recipe Keeper Binder" and there it was! I opened a jar of lemon curd from Trader Joe's (I was feeling lazy) and I paused...
Ugh. The best used by date was March 2007 and the curd looked...well, brown!
I hesitated. Do I really want to make my own lemon curd? My stomach growled.
OK, I'll do it! I was glad that I did-- seriously, it took 10 minutes to make my own and it's so good and so delicious...and so easy!
I stopped buying Bisquick and pancake mix a long time ago. Making pancakes, from scratch, is so easy and I think they taste much better. Adding ricotta cheese to pancake mix produces tender, and fluffy pancakes. Oh, and I realized (after I made the lemon curd) that my son had polished off all of the milk! Fortunately, I keep 2% buttermilk in my fridge as a "staple". My son was redeemed (after a lecture about writing things on my grocery list) because the buttermilk made the pancakes even better!These pancakes reheat, well, in the microwave. I had stashed the last two for my breakfast, since I'm home alone for a day of vacation. Too late! My son found them. He says they were delicious.
Directions Preheat a nonstick griddle.
Combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and sugar in a small bowl.
Whisk together the cheese, eggs, milk, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl.
(note: I skipped adding the lemon juice and zest and my pancakes turned out great!)
Whisk the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Brush the hot griddle with butter.
For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup measure of the batter on the griddle and cook on both sides until light golden brown. Repeat until no batter remains.
For those of you who don't make my lemon curd recipe:
Empty the contents of the lemon curd into a small saucepan and warm over low heat. Alternatively, remove the lid and place in a microwave oven on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stopping after 1 minute to stir the curd.
Drizzle a few tablespoons of the curd over the pancakes, top with fresh raspberries, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
NOTE: I add a thin layer of lemon curd between my pancakes.

Cell phones could pose dangers to kids
Cell phone safety warnings are generally designed for a large man with a big head who talks less than half an hour a day.
The average toddler's head, however, weighs about half as much and is far more susceptible to the microwave radiation the phone emits, said environmental health expert Devra Lee Davis, founder of the Environmental Health Trust, which campaigns for safer cell phone use.
As the debate over cell phones and cancer continues to rage, concern is growing over the effects of the phones — as well as devices such as the iPad — on children.
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that pressing a cell phone to the ear for 50 minutes altered the brain activity in 47 adult volunteers.
The study doesn't answer the million dollar question: whether the change in brain activity causes any harm.
The wireless industry group says no research has proven cell phones to be dangerous.
The National Cancer Institute, meanwhile, says there is no consistent link between cell phones and cancer.
But the NCI also notes that there's currently no data on cell phone use and risk of cancer in children and that children may be at a greater risk because their nervous systems are still developing at the time of exposure.
Meanwhile, cell phone use by children and adolescents is increasingly rapidly.
Experts worry that children's brains, encased in a thinner skull, may be more vulnerable to the effects of the radiation emitted by the phones.
Dr. Nora Volkow, the lead author of the JAMA study, said modeling studies have shown that a child's brain would absorb more radiation than those of adults. But Volkow said she's unaware of studies that have looked at the different developmental effects.
Some studies have suggested that the radiation can cross or affect the entire brain of children, who are still developing, versus a particular area in adults," said Dr. Stephanie Wagner, co-medical director of the neuro-oncology program at Indiana University Health and the IU Simon Cancer Center in Indianapolis.
But studies looking at the effects of electromagnetic radiation in children and the risk of epilepsy and behavioral problems such as attention deficit disorder and aggressive behavior showed conflicting results, Wagner said.
Still, why take a chance, Volkow said.
She suggested that parents "teach their children to use their cell phones with a wired earphone and/or use the speakerphone mode and to avoid putting their cell phones directly on their ear."
If so, try these tips to limit exposure.
