Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 45 min
Difficulty: Easy
Nonstick cooking spray
3 cups cake flour, plus more for pan
1 cup butter, softened, plus 1/2 cup, melted
2 1/4 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole buttermilk
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 (20-ounce) cans pineapple slices in juice, drained well (reserve 2 tablespoons juice for frosting)
1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained well
Pineapple Buttercream Frosting, recipe follows
Chopped pecans, for garnish, optional
Pineapple Buttercream Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and coat with flour.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and set aside.
In a small bowl, add the 3 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Divide the brown sugar evenly into each pan. Pour the melted butter equally over the brown sugar. Arrange the pineapple slices and cherries over the brown sugar. Reserve remaining pineapple slices and cherries for another use.
Pour equal amounts of batter over the fruit and bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto wire racks to cool completely.
To assemble the cake, carefully arrange 1 cake layer, pineapple side up, on a cake plate. Carefully stack the remaining cake layer, pineapple side up, over the first layer. Frost the sides of the cake with Pineapple Buttercream Frosting. Press chopped pecans into sides of cake, if desired.
Pineapple Buttercream Frosting:
Beat all the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
Yield: about 2 cups
The best pineapple upside down cake I have ever had and I'm originally from the south....so I have had plenty in my day. Absolutely Wonderful!! I purchased 2 professional sized 9 inch rounds which are deeper than the regular and it accommodated the batter quantity perfectly. Thanks again, Paula, for yet another magnificent recipe.

I need help, every time I BBQ, chicken breast, it gets dry. What is the cooking time? I also want to tell your great Paula.
By Charmain on May 20, 2013
Made this recipe twice and love it. Yes, I do bake it longer than the recipe says but what I am wondering is when the recipe says to invert the cakes onto wire racks to cool, do I take the pans off the cakes or leave the pan on (upside down) so it will come it more easily?
By Wendy on March 30, 2013

By Brenda G. Weedman on January 05, 2013
Cake is fabulous! I come from a family of professional bakers. Made this exactly as called for in the recipe the first time. The second time, did not have buttermilk. Cutdown sugar to 2 cups. Used combination of pineapple juice and Carnation evaporated milk instead of buttermilk. Added 1 tsp. baking soda. Used 9 x 12" pan. Result was very good. Thank you!
By Karen on November 29, 2012
Just made the layered pineapple upside cake. I have been cooking for many years and have never made a cake that I had so much trouble with. I hope it tastes good because I will NEVER make another one. It fell apart when I put the last layer on. Had to try to peice it back together. I have made several of Paula's recipes before with much success. But this just don't work well. Taking it to a church potluck IF it holds together.

By allen richards on June 24, 2012
This cake batter is fabulous! I could eat it straight out of the bowl! I did run into a problem that I wanted to share with others to prevent the same issue from happening to someone else. I didn't know it until trying to bake this cake, but my 9" round pans must be more shallow than most. I've never run into this problem with any other recipe, but for this one I would say be sure that you have deeper pans if you'd like to avoid your cake from baking over the sides as mine did. Certainly a user error and not the fault of the recipe!
By Tiffany on June 22, 2012
My best Friend Loves Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and I wanted to make her one for her birthday so I looked up your recipe, and she Loved it she said it was the Best cake she has ever had! Thanks Paula for your wonderful Recipes! Your the Best!

With approval from the National Science Board, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Director will advance the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) to the final design stage. This action permits the NSF Director to include funds for LSST construction in a future budget request. To be located in Chile, the LSST is a proposed 8-meter wide-field survey telescope that will survey the entire sky approximately twice per week, delivering a large and comprehensive data set that will transform astronomical research. The LSST was the first-ranked ground-based large initiative in the 2010 National Academy of Sciences decadal survey in astronomy and astrophysics. The project is a partnership among the NSF, the Department of Energy (DOE) and a number of private contributors. "LSST will provide an unprecedented view of the sky while leading the emerging discipline of data-enabled science," said NSF Director Subra Suresh. "The project will foster international collaboration and offer unique methods for discovery in this new age of Big Data." Equipped with a 3-billion pixel digital camera, the LSST will propel astronomy ever further into the era of data-enabled science. By charting objects that change or move, and tracing billions of remote galaxies, LSST will provide multiple probes of the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, provide insight into short-lived transient events such as astronomical explosions or collisions, and create a more detailed map of the Milky Way and our own solar system. "LSST will transform how scientists detect and analyze astronomical events," said Edward Seidel, assistant director for the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. "The potential to deepen our understanding of the universe and its constituents, from distant exploding stars to nearby asteroids, is enormous." NSF and DOE have recently signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding delineating the scope of the agencies' responsibilities throughout the lifetime of the project. NSF will be responsible for development of the site and telescope, as well as the extensive data management system. DOE, through a collaboration led by its SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, will be responsible for development and delivery of the large-format camera. The Republic of Chile, through an agreement with Universidad de Chile, will make available the observing site for the LSST telescope. The total construction cost of LSST is estimated to be about $665M, approximately 70 percent from NSF, 24 percent from DOE, and 6 percent from private donors to the project. The construction is anticipated to last five years, followed by a two-year commissioning period before the start of the survey.

It's great to be able to fulfill all of your passions in life. For many women being able to add the passion of motherhood to our professional lives makes our lives so much richer. Mom of the Month Sarah Diiorio has done this, and she makes it seem so easy. Four children, a husband and a fulltime job … and she manages it all successfully.
Diiorio and her husband, Wes, are parents to: Eilis, 6; Liam, 4; Elena, 2; and Isabella, 9 months. Since 1999 she's been a full-time high school English literature teacher at Hempfield High School.
For as long as Diirorio can remember, she has always wanted to be a teacher. She said as a child she used to pretend she was one. "Plus," she added, "I was the oldest child and tended to be a bit bossy!" Diirio always loved to read, and she also knew her life as a teacher would involve that.
Diirorio teaches seniors and sophomores and loves the ages of the kids and the kind of relationship she has with them. "As young adults, I don't have to babysit. I can just teach, and they get it. Plus I am able to bring humor to what I do."
Diiario also knew one day she would want to become a mother. Like all mothers, she could not have predicted how or when it would all work out. But, again, like all mothers, things just always have a way of falling into place.
Sarah and Wes Diiorio met in a high school study hall in Mechanicsburg, PA when the two were just 15 and 16 years old. After graduation the two continued on to Millersville University together. About a year after college, they married.
Almost 14 years later and four children later, Diiorio has her routines down. Her typical day starts at 5:30 in the morning when she hits the ground running. She gets baby Isabella fed and ready and then the rest of the children to day care or to school. She said all four of her kids are energetic, and "When they get along, it's good!" Diiorio arrives in her classroom by 7:15 a.m. and stays there until 3:30 p.m., unless there is extra work to do, and there almost always is.
Diiorio's ancestry is Irish, and her husband's is Italian. But both appreciate each other's heritage. They even split up the names of their children to reflect both backgrounds: Eilis and Liam are Irish names; Elena and Isabella are Italian. The couple has also visited Italy and Ireland together.
All in all, Diiorio has been able to achieve the best of both worlds–a loving family and a fulfilling profession. She works hard, but Diiaro said things run well because of her children, because of how good they are and also because of her husband, Wes. "He's a huge help," she said.
But, Wes, who nominated his wife to be Mom of the Month, turned it around and gave her full credit with a little extra compliment: "She is able to juggle her professional and home life while staying forever young and beautiful."
Diiorio's favorite restaurant is Maison or Checkers.
Diiorio has a sister who lives in Maryland and a brother who lives in Connecticut.
Diiorio believes it just isn't summer without a trip to Rehoboth Beach.
While attending Millersville University, Diiorio played rugby.
At Hempfield, Diiorio coached the girls' lacrosse team.
Diiorio's favorite color is green.
Diiorio said she considers herself athletic. She said she has completed some 5Ks.
When she cooks, Diiorio doesn't follow a recipe. She is able to make meals "on the fly."

It would be really difficult to find a person, who does not want to have a beautiful smile. In fact, white and healthy teeth are the best way to make a positive impression. What is more, the health of your mouth is probably the best guarantee of a good health condition in general.
These days, everyone knows that it is important to care about oral hygiene, if you want your smile to stay beautiful all the time. As a fact, there are many ways to keep your mouth and teeth clean. For instance, washing teeth regularly is definitely the most popular way to prevent dental problems and just keep your teeth white.
However, many people claim that using toothbrush and dental floss is not enough for the entire oral hygiene. Actually, oral irrigator is a must-have thing is you want to be sure that your teeth are as clean as possible. As for me, ирригатор braun is the best choice, because it helps to wash mouth entirely, including the area between the teeth. These days, there is a possibility to buy it for a good price and it is definitely the best way to ensure the hygiene of your mouth.

text: Gah! Why is it when I have something good to say, LJ goes on strike!!!?Yesterday I wrote to 3 of the major Teddy Bear magazines to promote my work with Snowflake Bears. I got a reply from the editor at teddy Bear Scene today and she is going to incluce me in the March issue of the magazine! I still cannot believe it.Dear Jo Thanks for getting in touch with me. I've had a look at your rat and mouse and I honestly think they are very good. I'll be happy to use the picture in our What's New pages in the March issue, on sale Feb. Also, I'm attaching our Bear Artist Questionnaire to fill in if you like, then you can be the subject of our regular 'In a Nutshell' feature in a few months. I'll need you to supply me with 8 - 10 different images for the feature - digital is fine as long as the resolution is high. Can you give me some idea of price? Very best wishes Kathy Martin It seems I have trudged for miles struggling with Snowflake, and I'm glad it's finally going to pay off. This has really given me the kick in the butt I needed (and deserved) and I can finally get myself into gear, I have a goal in sight:) She also included a questionnaire for me to complete to be in my own article in a few months time. I really hope that this is my big break, God only knows I need it!TEDDY BEAR SCENE BEAR ARTIST QUESTIONNAIRE1 Can you give us some background about yourself? (where you live, your early years, your family, pets etc) 2 How did you get drawn into the teddy bear world, and how long have you been making teddies? 3 Did you have any training in teddy bear making, dressmaking or related arts? 4 Is teddy making your sole occupation and, if not, what other work do you do? 5 From where do you draw inspiration when planning a new teddy design? 6 How long does it take to create an original teddy? 7 Has your design of teddies changed and developed over the years, and where do you see it going in the future? 8 Is there any aspect of teddy bear making that you particularly enjoy? And any that you particularly dislike? 9 Have you made one bear that is more special to you than any other? 10 What materials and methods do you use to make your teddies? And what sizes do you favour?11 How did your bear business get its name?12 Do you have a special room or study designated as your work room? 13 If you work from home, do you also have a family to care for? 14 Do you dress your teddies? 15 Do you specialise in any type of teddy, e.g. period, character, realistic? 16 Have you sold any of your bears overseas?17 Have your ever entered your teddies for any awards and if so, have they been nominated or won prizes? 18 Do you like getting feedback about your bears from collectors? Do you have any anecdotes about something special that happened to you through teddies? 19 Do you have a teddy collection of your own? If so, can you mention a few of your favourites?20 Do you have time for any other hobbies? 21 Is there anything further about yourself that you would like to add? 22 Would you be willing to provide a bear as a competition prize to accompany the feature about yourself? (This is not obligatory - we have simply found that a competition focuses the readers' attention on the feature)The scary thing now is that I'll have to get some serious work done to get some photos send off to her. If only Melanie had managed to get some images done of the bears I gave her to sell, I really wish my own camera wan't so damn tempramental in important situations!

Bill Cates, president of Referral Coach International, has two rules when it comes to sending information to referral prospects: "Less is more" and "Provide value first." Prospects don't want to be bogged down with pages of information, and they certainly won't care about what you send if it doesn't relate to their unique situation. Yet if you do things right, an information packet sent after an initial correspondence like a phone conversation can be just the thing to convince a prospect that you and your services are worth their time.
To grab and keep the prospect's attention and arouse their interest, here's what Cates recommends you should include in your packet:
- Cover letter. This should be brief, mentioning the referral source (the prospect's friend, colleague, or family member) right off the bat. Address some of the things you discussed on the phone in a way that's of benefit to the prospect. I like my cover letters to be more like cover notes. I use a half sheet with my logo. I generate the note through my computer. It keeps my letters short and more informal.
When you're getting the referral, make sure you ask your source, "What do I need to say to George to get him to take an interest in the work I do?" Use the referral source's response in your letter. - Testimonial letters (or a sheet of quick testimonial quotes). Third-party endorsements work! The more specific the letter, the better—about your service, the process you put people through, the quality of your advice and wisdom, and so on. Remember, however, financial service professionals cannot use letters that speak about actual monetary performance. Clients can talk about your knowledge, wisdom, and service, but not their portfolio performance. When you have great clients who just love your work, don't hesitate to ask them for a short recommendation letter. Then use the letters—or excerpts from them listed on a single sheet—in your information packet.
- Articles. Sending articles related to their needs, even if you didn't write them, elevates your status as an expert. Constantly be on the lookout for articles that your prospects and clients might find interesting or valuable. I suggest you underline parts of the articles, or write notes in the margins. This personalizes your clipping for that particular reader.
- Brochure. This is an optional item. In my experience, most people don't read brochures, but they will read the letters and probably read the articles.
- Something of value. What can you send to a prospect that might provide some value right from the start? Maybe the articles you send related to their issues will prove valuable. Maybe a book (compliance-friendly, of course) related to financial planning would be appreciated. The more you learn about your prospect, either from the prospect or your referral source, the more you can tailor what you send to him.
Read the entirety of Bill's article (free registration required) for even more advice on getting that first appointment with prospects.

Aaron Moore is a furniture designer-maker based in Cornwall, who has made a craft of developing sustainable furniture designs and joinery techniques at his workshop near Truro. The Eden Project loved one of his chair designs, made from recycled plastic, and wanted to use it in their latest restaurant for visitors. But they needed help combining Aaron's design with recycled plastic taken from their public restaurants and cafés which could be reused in the new restaurant chairs.
Christopher Pett of Makers managed the product development and production of 50 unique chairs, made from recycled Eden Project plastic cups and situated in the Core Building restaurant since 2006. This was one of the first product development projects which Makers staff have undertaken and it set the scene for many projects to come: a design, a client but no pre-existing path to get from concept to delivery.
Working with Aaron Moore, plastics expert Colin Williamson and the Eden Project facilities management team was a real pleasure. Hundreds of thousands of Eden Project visitors chairs have used the chairs and some have been inspired by the simple message of closed-loop recycling embodied in the custom Re-Form chairs.

The House on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to deny a regular cost-of-living pay raise to members of Congress in Fiscal Year 2011, which would mark the third straight year that lawmakers left their pay at $174,000 per year. The vote was 402-15 in the House, with all 15 votes against the plan coming from Democrats. So why do I call them the "Confident Fourteen?"That's because we evidently have to throw one of them out. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) claimed that she mistakenly voted against the ban on pay raises. We'll give her the benefit of the doubt and press on.So here are the fourteen other Democrats who voted no:Clyburn (SC), Conyers (MI), Edwards (MD), Ellison (MN), Johnson (TX), Kilpatrick (MI), Lee (CA), Meeks (NY), Moran (VA), Payne (NJ), Thompson (MS), Towns (NY), Watt (NC) and Woolsey (CA).Let's go through some of these names, because there are some heavy hitters in this group. Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) isn't just any Democrat; he's the third ranking House Democrat, the Majority Whip. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) is the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.Rep. Ed Towns (D-NY) is Chairman of the House Oversight Committee.Twelve of the fourteen are members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Most of them come from very liberal districts, or from majority-minority districts.Two of the fourteen are from the immediate Washington, D.C. suburbs - Rep. Donna Edwards from Maryland and Rep. Jim Moran from Virginia.Nine of the fourteen got a score of 100% from the liberal group Americans for Democratic Action.Eleven of the fourteen got a score of zero (0%) from the American Conservative Union.This no-pay-raise bill was so hurriedly introduced that, as of yesterday, you couldn't even get the legislative text on the internet.Next stop for it is the Senate, where approval is expected, but one thing will be different.Don't look for a roll call vote in the Senate.

P.J. Pereira and Andrew O'Dell Dance Their @sses Off
Watch the Pereira & O'Dell Execs let loose at Brazil's Carnival
By: Laurel Wentz, Published: Feb 22, 2012That's P.J. Pereira and Andrew O'Dell , chief creative officer and CEO, respectively, of San Francisco agency Pereira & O'Dell marching in the famous samba school parade during Carnival this week in Rio de Janeiro.
The parade lasts all night, with each samba school allocated about an hour for its 4,000 or so members to parade down the avenue in the Sambadrome, illustrating through music, dance, and costumes the theme their samba school has chosen.
Pereira, a native of Rio and a fan of popular samba school Mangueira, said he got a call from his brother a few weeks ago asking if he wanted to parade with Mangueira, and he and Mr. O'Dell jumped on a plane. Mangueira's theme this year was a tribute to the traditional blocos, or groups that form Rio's vibrant street carnival.
Can you find P.J. in the video below? It may not be a coincidence that the shirt he's wearing resembles that of one famously hard-to-spot character.

Dr. Chris Baumann explains how sustainability can be understood as three forms of loyalty: employee loyalty, customer loyalty and investor loyalty. He exemplifies the types of loyalty with two different cases: the car company General Motors, which scores low on sustainability, and the car company Hyundai, which scores high on sustainability.

GordonBrown has been appointed as the United Nations Special Envoy for Education, the UN has announced.
The former Prime Minister will launch a new UN initiative for universal education in September which will campaign for a fund to finance schools and train 2 million teachers worldwide.
In a statement, Mr Brown said: "Ensuring that every child in the world has the opportunity to go to school and to learn is a longstanding passion of mine... Education breaks the cycle of poverty and unlocks better health and better job prospects."

Former PM Sir John Major has revealed that Rupert Murdoch threatened to withdraw support from him if he did not change his policy on the European Union.
The new evidence, given to the Leveson Inquiry, appears to contradict the claim by Mr Murdoch that he had never asked a prime minister for a favour.
Sir John described a dinner with Mr Murdoch in the run-up to the 1997 election, in which the proprietor said his papers could not support the Conservative Government unless the changes were made. He said that Mr Murdoch "didn't make the usual nod towards editorial independence", but that he ignored his entreaties anyway.
He also criticised the claim by newspaper proprietors that they could not be expected to know what their reporters were doing in order to obtain stories. Sir John told the hearing: "It defies credibility that they actually don't know what is happening and I think the 'I had no idea what was going on below me' argument is one that I find extremely difficult to accept."
Later, Gordon Brown's claim that he was unaware of briefing by his special advisers against Tony Blair came under fire from Ed Miliband today.
The Labour leader told the Leveson Inquiry Charlie Whelan, one of Mr Brown's advisers, had left his position due to briefing.
He told the Inquiry: "Ed Balls, no. Charlie Whelan left, I believe in 1999 – left the Government in 1999. One of the reasons he left was because of his style of operation. I can't point you to direct evidence but I would say one of the things he did was he briefed, including potentially against people in the government.
"On Damian McBride, when I was a Cabinet minister, I did raise a specific concern that I had with Mr Brown, I believe in 2008, about some of Mr McBride's activities."
Mr Miliband also urged Lord Leveson to look into the issue of how power in the newspaper market is concentrated, suggesting a limit of between 20 and 30% of the market. This led Lord Leveson to lament the way his terms of reference "grew like a mushroom cloud".
You can catch up on all the action from today's Inquiry with our liveblog here.
The Leveson Inquiry is set to investigate evidence that private detectives bought access to data, including criminal record checks on a number of senior Labour politicians. Among those claimed to have been targeted are ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown, former Agriculture Minister Nick Brown and backbencher Martin Salter.
15/06/2012 in Media/Phone hacking
Rupert Murdoch has stood behind his comments to the Leveson Inquiry that Gordon Brown called him to "declare war" on News International after the Sun's endorsement of the Conservatives.
Despite the Cabinet Office today releasing information supporting Mr Brown's denial, the News Corporation chairman tweeted today: "I stand by every word is aid [sic] at Leveson."
The Cabinet Office earlier confirmed only one phone call took place between Gordon Brown and Rupert Murdoch in 2010, when the two men apparently spoke about Afghanistan.
Mr Brown and Mr Murdoch gave contradictory evidence to the Leveson Inquiry, Mr Murdoch saying that Mr Brown warned him in 2010: "Your company has declared war on my Government and we have no alternative but to make war on your company."
The Cabinet Office statement read: "That call took place on the 10th of November 2009. This was followed up by an email from Gordon Brown to Rupert Murdoch on the same day referring to the earlier conversation on Afghanistan.
"Four witness statements have been submitted to the Inquiry on the content of the call by staff who worked in No.10 Downing Street and who were the four and sole personnel on the phone call."
08/06/2012 in Media/Phone hacking
David Cameron, George Osborne, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband will appear before the Leveson Inquiry into media standards next week, it was announced today.
The Chancellor and former prime minister Gordon Brown will appear on Monday, before Mr Miliband, Harriet Harman and former prime minister John Major give evidence on Tuesday.
The Deputy Prime Minister and SNP leader Alex Salmond will be appearing on Wednesday, before Mr Cameron gives evidence on Thursday.
The full schedule can be found on the Inquiry's website here.
26/04/2012 in Media/Phone hacking
Rupert Murdoch has admitted there was a "cover up" at News of the World over the phone hacking scandal.
But Tom Crone, the newspaper's former legal manager, hit back at Mr Murdoch's evidence, releasing a statement claiming insinuations that he was involved in a cover up are a "shameful lie".
Giving evidence to the Leveson Inquiry for the second day, Mr Murdoch said there was "no question" in his mind that "someone took charge of a cover up".
The News Corp chairman insisted he and other senior executives were "misinformed" about the extent of phone-hacking at the tabloid, which he was forced to close last summer.
Mr Murdoch said he "panicked" when he made the decision to close the paper, and added he wishes he had done it sooner.
"I panicked. I'm glad I did," he said.
"I'm sorry I didn't close it years before and put a Sunday Sun in but I'll tell you what held us back – the News of the World readers."
He put much of the blame for the lack of transparency at the News of the World on senior executives at the time such as Len Hinton and Colin Myler, as well as the lawyers used by News Corp to investigate. However he still apologised for the scandal, which he described as a "serious blot on my reputation".
Elsewhere in the testimony, Mr Murdoch defended his comments yesterday that Gordon Brown had "declared war" on the Murdoch newspapers, after the former Prime Minister today dismissed them as "wholly wrong".

My Dutch ancestors came to this continent in 1624 to seek liberty and personal freedoms. Their blood runs through my veins.
The Declaration of Independence, written way after they came here, declared God gave us rights.. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. According to Sen. Folmer, the word "happiness" was originally "property" but was changed to happiness because slaves were considered property at the time.
80,000 chickens moving next to us in Huntington Township are not the issue. It is not farmer vs. newcomer. The issue is property rights. Township officials, the county, the judiciary, the state and the federal government in this case all think alike. Their actions or inactions say some people have more property rights than others.
Why do the chicken operators have more rights than the 100 or so property owners who surround them? Not only do they have more rights to do whatever they want, but their actions devalue our properties, alter our water supplies and will soon poison the very air we breathe.
The chicken operators were given the rights to devalue our property by our neighbors: two township supervisors who voted for the operation and planning commission members who put next to no restrictions on the plan, to protect surrounding properties. If 80,000 chickens were moving in next to them, it would be a different story.
Our God-given right to pursue happiness/property (our home, our major investment) is being violated.
My property is now worth less because no one in their right mind would want to live next to this chicken operation especially if they have children. Since our properties are not worth much anymore, we should not have to pay assessed property taxes.
The lost property taxes to the county should be placed on the backs of the chicken operators. If we have to pay taxes on useless property, it is really taxation without representation because no one in this government is representing the rights of the individual homeowner.
If you think your property is worth something, think again. There is a new chicken poop energy-producing factory moving into Adams County. Lots of big money involved. They need chicken poop to run the plant. There will be more chickens because they will need the poop. If they build next to you, your property will be devalued too and believe me, nobody will care.

Bottom line. We won the game and some ranked teams and teams ranked higher than us in RPI and various power rankings lost this week. I guess the idea that conference games are no different than other games must have been lost on some of these teams. Lets not forget this team played well in the conference tournament and was expected to be much better this season. Sometimes it takes a while for both an injured player to get back to form and the team to work them back in. People whine and complain after every close game. So i guess every coach that has a close game against a team that doesn't have a great record is a bad coach. What about the other teams that has close games against Marshall. Are they not as good as they seem because Marshall was within ten or less than them. This has nothin to do with wakeup calls. No team comes out and plays great every time. Look at Louisville. Syracuse lost and has had other close calls. All teams have a run or two in them and most teams that get blown out its because they give up. When a team fights until the end they will at least make the score look more respectable. I wanted us to blow then away by 20 as well so we would get more votes come Monday but lets not forget this team was projected to possibly have a second bid coming out of the conference.
Sonic, I am going to be as fragile with you as I can. Southern Miss beat them like a rented mule. They are a BAD basketball team. Don't kid yourself.....THEY ARE A BAD TEAM! The Tigers will be eaten alive against Southern Miss. Take my word for it.

Wave Power Generation
As the need for global warming solutions becomes more urgent, engineers and entrepreneurs are looking for new ways to expand our use of clean, domestic renewable energy. One of Earth's most promising resources in this regard is also one of its largest: the ocean. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), an independent nonprofit and leader in wave power research, estimates that this resource could credibly supply the United States with as much as 260 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year—as much as that generated by all conventional U.S. hydropower facilities combined.
Ideal locations for wave power projects are those that receive the full force of the waves before the waves hit the ocean floor and lose energy, are close enough to shore so transmission cables will not be prohibitively expensive, and are deep enough that the generating equipment will not crash against the seabed during storms. Seafloor maps show that the best U.S. locations according to these criteria are the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast, and Hawaii.
Different Ways to Catch a Wave
Wave power technologies currently being developed and tested worldwide generally fall into four categories.
Point absorbers are buoy-like cylinders that bob on the ocean's surface. The motion of the waves moves a piston inside the cylinder, which creates hydraulic pressure that drives a turbine.
Overtopping devices generate electricity in the same way as a traditional hydropower dam: by collecting water in a reservoir and then releasing it through Wave Power Generation turbines. Resembling a letter C floating on the ocean's surface, the overtopping device consists of a concrete ramp and two steel wave-reflecting arms, which direct a maximal amount of seawater up the ramp and into a holding tank. The water then flows down through turbines as it is released from the holding tank back into the ocean.
Attenuators, or "heave-surge" devices, are long, segmented structures (resembling a snake) that float parallel to the direction of the waves. The motion of the waves causes the joints between segments to flex, driving internal hydraulic pumps that, in turn, power a turbine.
Oscillating water columns consist of partially submerged, nearly vertical tubes with openings at the top and bottom. As waves enter the underwater opening at the tube's base, they compress the air inside the tube, forcing it up through a turbine at the top. As the waves retreat, air is sucked back into the tube's upper opening and down through the turbine, generating more electricity.
Underwater Unknowns
Wave power developers must attempt to understand the effects this technology will have on marine habitats.
However, scientists are also studying potentially harmful effects. Placing a foreign object in the ocean and securing it to the seabed could, for example, disrupt and erode sediment, affecting fish and other organisms that thrive on or near the seafloor. Wave power equipment could also alter aquatic and avian species' movements and migrations, and cause collisions with structures or entanglement in underwater cables. These problems can be minimized through greater experience with prototypes. Other concerns that have been raised, such as sound pollution, chemical and paint toxicity, and electromagnetic fields, can all be addressed based on our experiences with ships and oil-drilling platforms. |
What the Future Holds
As with any new technology, wave power will likely encounter several obstacles on the path toward large-scale deployment. One of these is cost. According to EPRI projections, the first 100-megawatt wave power project to be deployed will generate electricity at a cost of about nine cents per kilowatt-hour, compared with estimates from consulting firm Black & Veatch of four to seven cents for new wind power projects and six to eight cents for new coal-fired power plants (assuming these plants will not face a financial penalty for global warming pollution). As technical expertise and economies of scale improve, however, wave power's costs will decrease and become more competitive. Considering that 40 percent of a commercial wave power project's annual expenditures may go toward operating and maintaining the equipment, reducing these costs will be critical to making wave-generated electricity cheaper than other technologies.
Constructive policies can play a role as well. Financial incentives such as tax credits and grants, for example, can speed the technology's transition from research and development to commercialization. And eliminating overlapping jurisdictions among state and federal agencies, which often complicate and delay offshore renewable energy projects, would streamline the permitting process and allow companies to test and refine their designs more quickly.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the lead agency that approves electricity-generating projects, recently streamlined and shortened the licensing process for wave power demonstration projects, making it easier for companies to attract investors. FERC granted its first license under these new regulations in December for four 250-kilowatt point absorbers off the coast of Washington State. This is a promising first step in bringing wave power into the mix of clean energy resources we can tap in the coming decades to meet U.S. electricity needs and reduce the risks of climate change. ■

Her husband Cesar Lopez, a Christian missionary who worked in St. Johns County, is banned from retuning to the U.S. for a decade. It's punishment from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for living illegally in the states since he was a child.
Action News followed their legal appeals since October 2012, but the Lopez family feels they can't wait any longer. If Cesar Lopez can't be here, the family will be in Mexico together.
Kathleen Lopez plans to continue her appeals for her husband's return. She does not want to apply for her visa in Mexico, so she plans on checking back in to visit family and see their daughter's pediatrician in the U.S. every couple of months.
Kathleen Lopez showed Action News pictures of her month long trip to visit Cesar Lopez in January near Guadalajara, Mexico. The St. Augustine native said it was a momentous and emotional roller coaster when her husband laid eyes on his baby girl for the very first time, then had to say good-bye. "You feel like a horrible wife and mother because you're pulling your child away," said Kathleen Lopez, "Not because you want to; it's because you have to."Lawmakers like Senator Bill Nelson are continuing efforts to bring Cesar Lopez back home. Kathleen Lopez said, "We have hope. But that doesn't always make up for (going) to bed (when) it's empty and when you wake up its empty."

Dredging has been a hot topic in Southwest Michigan as of late. It was announced this week the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Emergency Dredging Plan includes a proposed $1-million for the New Buffalo Municipal Marina, just over $436,000 for the South Haven Municipal Marina and $105,000 for the St. Joseph West Basin Marina harbor. WSJM News put in a call to Berrien County to see how St. Joseph will use the 100-grand. Officials say after further calculations, there is a need for at least $1-million for the St. Joseph River dredging project. The City of St. Joseph is currently working with the county to try to identify additional state funds that may be available. The county says more information will be available next week.

► A quantitative proteomics screen finds Sub1 and RPA in transcription complexes ► Sub1 localizes near the transcription bubble for open complex formation ► RPA associates with transcribed regions of the genome ► Mutations in Sub1 ssDNA binding result in relocalization of RPA to promoters
Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins play many roles in nucleic acid metabolism, but their importance during transcription remains unclear. Quantitative proteomic analysis of RNA polymerase II (RNApII) preinitiation complexes (PICs) identified Sub1 and the replication protein A complex (RPA), both of which bind single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Sub1, homolog of mammalian coactivator PC4, exhibits strong genetic interactions with factors necessary for promoter melting. Sub1 localizes near the transcription bubble in vitro and binds to promoters in vivo dependent upon PIC assembly. In contrast, RPA localizes to transcribed regions of active genes, strongly correlated with transcribing RNApII but independently of replication. RFA1 interacts genetically with transcription elongation factor genes. Interestingly, RPA levels increase at active promoters in cells carrying a Sub1 deletion or ssDNA-binding mutant, suggesting competition for a common binding site. We propose that Sub1 and RPA interact with the nontemplate strand of RNApII complexes during initiation and elongation, respectively.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Kellogg's president, CEO and company director David Mackay announced that he will retire from his post, effective Jan. 1.
The announcement is part of Kellogg's succession plan, which named current COO and board member John Bryant — who joined Kellogg in 1998 — as the company's new president and CEO. Mackay will work closely with Bryant to ensure a smooth transition through March 31, 2011, the company said.
Following the succession announcement, the company reaffirmed its 2010 and 2011 guidance, noting it expects full-year currency-neutral earnings per share growth of 4% to 5% for 2010, and low single-digit earnings per share growth on a currency-neutral basis for 2011.
"I'm excited to lead this great company with its 31,000 talented employees and more than 100-year legacy of beloved brands," Bryant said. "We have a strong leadership team in place, and we are committed to delivering long-term, sustainable results."

Ladywell cat Pablo strolls into Scottish bank - one year after disappearing
10:07am Tuesday 22nd October 2013 in News By Mark Chandler
A LUCKY Ladywell cat who disappeared from the streets of south-east London has been found one year later - 449 miles away in a Scottish bank.
Pablo, aged nine, had learned to use the automatic door at Lloyds bank in Rosyth in Fife and sauntered into the branch earlier this month.
Startled staff called the nearest branch of charity Cats Protection, and when they arrived, Pablo was still there, lounging on a chair.
The charity, which identified the moggy through a microchip, is now arranging for the silver tabby to be flown back to London this week and finally be reunited with his owners.
Kate Partridge said the family couldn't believe it when they were told their much-loved pet was alive and well in Scotland.
The 59-year-old said: "We were just thinking it had been a year, and I got this phonecall from a vet in Scotland and I nearly fell over."
And it's not just the family who are relieved - neighbours were used to seeing the cat too, who was a popular character around Marsala Road where he lived and has been likened to children's favourite Six Dinner Sid for his love of being fed by as many different people as possible.
She said: "He was always one of those cats who had friends up the street and could disappear for a day or two.
"It's a long road and he used to sit in the middle of it and cars would go past him.
"He hated dogs too. Dogs would cower and run away from him."
Pablo, who was adopted as a stray, even had several names he was known by in the street.
Ms Partridge, whose daughter Siobhan Campbell, aged 33, owns the cat, said: "He's a character, and it's quite funny because the Cats Protection people have sent us photos and he's still got the same look on his face.
"My daughter has said we ought to have a street party to welcome him back."
Mistaken for a stray?
The charity believes the cat was mistaken for a stray, taken in by a well-meaning London person and brought up to Scotland when they moved house.
Cats Protection's Regional Development Manager for North Scotland Tracy Shiells said: "This goes to show how important it is for owners to microchip cats and keep the address details up-to-date as in this case."
She added: "We would like to thank the family for making a donation towards the cost and Pet Travel Services who are waiving their usual fee and donating a special cat carrier in which Pablo will be transported.
"We still need further funds to meet Pablo's travel bill of £250, so to make a donation please call Cats Protection on 0800 917 2287 and quote 'Pablo' to make a donation over the phone.
"Any funds raised in excess of Pablo's bill will be used to help other cats at Cats Protection's West Fife branch."

Watch: President Obama's thank-you speech to his Chicago campaign staff
The president seems like a nice sort of guy, really.
By Alex Hern Published 09 November 2012 10:28Say what you will about president Obama – and many do – he sincerely seems like he would be one of the best possible people to work under. This video, of him addressing campaign workers at a surprise visit to his Chicago HQ shortly after his victory, led to a few tears in the New Statesman office.
5 comments
Where is John Cheese?
What a prick.
Working under him sure seems a lot nicer than working under the areas patrolled by drone bombers. Those don't seem to cause him any distress at all!
perhaps clutching at straws, but maybe just maybe Obama will now feel enabled to allow far fewer drone missions. from what i know Obama personally supervises this clumsy vile activity. there's no way to totally stop the US military industry from demanding use of these weapons. it could be his tactic though to at least minimise usage?
perhaps now he can just wind it down. fingers crossed....


text:
Nevertheless, he cannot really celebrate the reform that he promised for so long. Since his campaign, Obama has provided two primary justifications for universal health care. First, was the moral necessity to eliminate the existential risks posed by illness or injury to more than 40 million Americans without coverage. The second justification was an economic one -- rising health care costs, so goes the argument, must be brought under control in order to reduce stress on the U.S. budget.
The first promise has been fulfilled -- the new legislation demonstrates solidarity with those unable to afford health coverage and with those who were refused insurance. The second promise, however, has been postponed. The reform bill only half-heartedly addresses the reduction of health care costs and those measures aimed at savings can easily be skirted. Insurance companies will get millions of new customers, but no real competition. Their shares are currently skyrocketing -- they are the true winners of US health care reform.

10 Celebrity Death Hoaxes
Eddie Murphy has joined the death hoax club. Online rumors swirled on Wednesday that the actor tragically died in a snowboarding accident in Switzerland.
The manner of his death should have indicated it was a hoax. Other stars who have "died" in snowboarding incidents include Keanu Reeves, Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey.
Jeff Goldblum and Tom Hanks both met their maker after allegedly falling from cliffs in New Zealand. In April, Ryan Gosling reportedly died while filming in Austria and falling from a cliff.
Let's face it - tons of celebrities have been victims of death hoaxes, particularly in the last few years with the proliferation of twitter. Anyone can start a rumor, and it can go viral very quickly.

Have yourself a Magnificent little Christmas. Shop our new store now. The shipping's on us.

Q: Having compared the sock wear of English and Italian friends I find myself in a quandary. The Englishman tends toward the characteristic, and perhaps dull, understated look reaching to the lower calf with the Italian chaps opting for bright stripes and patterns that reach almost to the knee. It's clear to me that there is a certain boldness and verve to the Italian option but is that joy in keeping with the studied coolness characterized by the MB? What do you suggest?--Mark A: Astute observation on your part, Mark, though British designer Paul Smith makes some of the boldest socks on the market (inset). Regardless, we lean pretty strongly towards the British approach you note. No surprise there given our severe case of Anglophilia, not to mention the Italian socks-pulled-up-to-the-knees technique is both too serious and too 15th century explorer. However, colorful socks are still perfectly OK. They're a subtle way to add some personality to your wardrobe, and are under wraps until you cross your legs. Anyhow, now that it's nearly spring, we recommend showing some ankle.
