Thursday, May 7, 2009
Our "courtship", if one wants to call it that, was mighty short and not at all run of the mill. He loves me, he loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not. And 6 months later we finally spoke, a slow dance, a nibble on the shoulder, and our fate was sealed. Does love at first sight exist? Debatable. And it all depends on how you define love. But I knew the second I laid eyes on him that I had to marry him. I just knew.
This was in November. We married the following July. Six months, you say? That's quite enough time, you say! But for those 6 months, we were apart for 4 of them. I was 2 months in Africa and twice 2 months back in Florida, working and helping to take care of my dying father. But marry we did.
Strange courtship, even stranger proposal. Picture yourself in a Parisian suburb, strolling down the sidewalk on your way to the grocery store. "I have done everything, been everywhere, run wild and sowed my wild oats," he began (or something similar) "and now I am ready to settle down, have children and live happily ever after," he said (or most of it). "Ah, but nice Jewish girl that I am, I will not have children if I am not married!" she exclaimed. "Anything you want, I'll do," he answered as he took her hand. And it was sealed with a kiss in the produce section.
And they lived happily ever after.
Moral of the story? Even the most unlikely places can be truly romantic.
And the wedding, you ask? Ah, good story! With a proposal and a courtship such as this, would anyone actually think that we would be sucked into the whirlwind and all the frou-frou of a traditional wedding? Engagements, engagement rings, all the doodads and fixings are just not our style and not our philosophy. Even a religious wedding was not in the cards, as we grew up in different faiths. Walking off to City Hall was fine with us. And poor as church mice, we couldn't afford a fancy shindig anyway. Honey took an old clarinet and traded it in for a 1920's Zoot Suit at a brocante (junk shop of sorts) and I pulled together a white and blue outfit with just a few francs. His sister, a professional gardener, recreated, replanted the yard and borders at the house we lived in and covered it with plants and flowers, designed my gorgeous bouquet and filled the house with floral arrangements. My in-laws brought over cases upon cases of champagne from their shop. And JP's Best Man showed up, thinking the whole affair was a big put-on, a joke on all of my future husband's friends, dressed to kill: pants, shirt, jacket and tie all in red tartan, yet 4 different shades of red, 4 different tartan patterns. And carrying a baby stroller, wondering if this was the reason behind a precipitous marriage. And my witness took one look at him and ran upstairs to change out of her fancy clothes into a colorful gypsy skirt and top.
And then there was the meal for the dozen weddings guests: no fancy caterer for us. We prepared everything ourselves, spending 2 days in my mother-in-laws sweltering kitchen, cooking, stewing, baking, frosting. I made 2 cakes to serve, a light-as-air white sponge cake accompanied by a mixed berry coulis and a deep, dark, rich chocolate layer cake filled and iced with a gorgeous cognac buttercream (which melted and smeared around the top of the cake faster than I could spread or decorate).
Other than making enormous choux puffs from my dad's recipe which I filled with ratatouille, I don't remember what else we served except for this wonderful Lemon Chicken. Tangy yet deep and richly flavored with just a tad of sweetness, the bright lemon flavor comes through beautifully and keeps the chicken amazingly moist and tasty.
I now make this favorite dish once in a while, serving it hot for dinner or cool for lunch. It is also ideal to take on a picnic, if a bit messy. But oh so delicious! I have decided to serve it tonight with a wonderful Dirty Rice of sorts, just flavorful enough to shine through on its own, yet mild enough to give all of the glory to my marvelous Wedding Day Lemon Chicken.
And they lived and ate happily ever after!
This recipe can easily be doubled – but only fill up your baking dish with enough chicken stock to come not more than halfway up your chicken pieces.
1 chicken, 2 ½ lbs (1 kg), cut into pieces or the equivalent in favorite pieces
1 cup (250 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup (125 g) or a bit less flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup (@ 60 ml) vegetable oil for frying
1 Tbs grated lemon zest
1/8 cup/1 Tbs light brown sugar
¼ cup (@ 60 ml) chicken stock
1 lemon, sliced paper thin
Clean the chicken pieces and dab them dry with paper towels. Place them with the freshly squeezed lemon juice in a bowl or recipient just large enough to hold them comfortably. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator to marinate overnight, turning occasionally.
Drain the chicken pieces well. Put the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a large bowl or platter and blend thoroughly. Roll each chicken piece in the mixture until well coated. Or, alternately, you can fill a large plastic bag with the flour mixture and, working only a couple of pieces of chicken at a time, shake to coat completely. Shake off excess flour and put aside on a clean, dry plate.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan of heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. (As I fried my chicken in 2 batches, I heated half the oil at a time.) When oil is very hot, fry the chicken pieces, a few at a time so as not to overcrowd, on all sides, until well browned and crispy. This may take up to 10 minutes per batch.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Arrange the browned chicken pieces in a single layer in a large, shallow baking dish or pan (I prefer glass or terra cotta).
Pour the chicken stock around the pieces, not filling the dish up more than halfway up the sides of the chicken pieces, then squeeze a bit of lemon juice into the stock (just one good squeeze to add a bit more lemon flavor, not too much).
Sprinkle the chicken pieces evenly with the brown sugar and the lemon zest.
Set a thin slice of lemon on each piece of chicken.
Bake for 40 – 45 minutes until cooked through and tender.
We ate the chicken warm (once everyone got home from work or school) with the Dirty Rice. The next day, I put the leftover chicken and the sauce, which had gelled somewhat, into a saucepan, added a bit more water, maybe ¼ cup (60 ml), and simmered it until heated through.
8 ½ oz (250 g) rice*
Chicken stock or 1 chicken bouillon cube for cooking rice
1 onion
1 red pepper
1 green pepper, optional
Fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
1 lemon for a bit of juice
Dried garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* I wanted to use good old Uncle Ben's but realized too late that I had run out, so I used Basmati.
Precook your rice in the chicken stock or water and one bouillon cube and set aside in a bowl, well covered with plastic wrap to keep the rice from drying out.
Chop the onion and the red pepper into dice. Finely chop a handful of parsley.
Heat a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet. Cook the chopped onion and red pepper until soft and slightly caramelized a golden brown.
Stir in the chopped parsley, sprinkle on a teaspoon or two of the dried garlic, salt and pepper. Give a squeeze of lemon juice then stir in the cooked rice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until heated through. Taste, add more salt, pepper, garlic or lemon juice to taste.
Serve hot. With love.

If you enjoy bass fishing, winning cash, prizes and trophies, then you might want to enter in this year's Big Bass Rodeo. The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club will host the 41st Annual Big Bass Rodeo on April 21-22 at Pine Creek Lake. This is the oldest, continuous running big bass tournament in the state and quite possibly the nation. This is the club's only fund raising event. Proceeds from the tournament will be used for prizes and food at the club's free youth tournament, scheduled for May 12 at McGee Creek, sponsoring the club's Junior Bassmasters, awards and prizes for kids during the annual banquet and so on.
Headquarters for the Big Bass Rodeo will be at the pavilion on Rock Creek Point in Little River South Park. The entry fee is $25.00 per angler. You must be member of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club to compete. Memberships are $15.00 per year or a temporary membership, good for one tournament, is available for $5.00. There is a guaranteed first place prize of $500.00. Winners are determined by the weight of their largest bass weighed in. Cash and trophies will be awarded to the top five finishers. This tournament would not be a success without the support of our local merchants. Sixth place on down will win prizes donated by these merchants until the supply of prizes is exhausted.
Contestants may enter on Friday, April 20, from 5:30 until 9:30 p.m. at the tournament headquarters or on Saturday morning before the start of the tournament. Fishing times will be from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Members are reminded that turkey season opens on Monday, April 23, in the southeast counties of Oklahoma. Those wishing to enter the club's turkey season contest must have their entries in before season begins. Entry for the contest is $7.00 per person.

Entry fees may be paid at Silvey's Tax or at Kiamichi Taxidermy.View more articles in:

Foonf is Clek's no-compromise convertible child seat – introducing revolutionary safety technology, innovative convenience features, and recyclable.
Safety Innovation for your Child: One of the most effective innovations in automotive safety is the crumple zone, the area of the vehicle that is designed to deform and crumple in a collision. The crumple zone absorbs energy in an impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.
Much like the crumple zones that protect us in the cars we drive, the crumple zone system integrated into every Foonf child seat protects
your child.
How It Works: In a collision, the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, but the child continues to move at the same speed. The less time that it takes for the child to come to a complete stop, the higher the forces exerted on the child. The REACT Safety System allows that sudden change in momentum to happen over a longer period of time through a series of controlled events. Foonf is designed to ride down the collision crumpling the aluminum honeycomb and absorbing energy from the collision resulting in less force transferred to the child.
Built to Keep Your Child Rear-Facing Longer: Foonf is rated up to 45 lb when installed rear-facing and engineered to protect in side-impact collision.
- Rigid-LATCH Forward-Facing Installation
- Over 80% of child seats in North America are not used properly. Hands down the easiest forward-facing installation in its class, Foonf's Rigid-LATCH system makes proper forward-facing installation effortless.
- Improved Rear-Facing Installation in Smaller Vehicles
- Unique design improves rear-facing installation in smaller vehicles by taking up less fore-aft space.
- Integrated Magnets
- Keeps harnesses open to make taking your child in and out easier.
- ExtraPadded Seat Cushion
- Additional layers of thick foam padding make for comfortable rides and protects against numb-bum syndrome!
- Smooth Recline
- Foonf includes an easy-to-engage, smooth recline function, making each ride more comfortable.
- Crypton® Super Fabrics
- Permanent protection against stains, moisture and bacteria. The only thing this fabric doesn't resist is easy cleaning. Fabrics are removable too.
- Approved for use in aircraft.
- Rear-facing:
- Height: 25-46 inches
- Weight: 14-45 lbs.
- Minimum Age: Can hold head upright unassisted (approx. 6 months)
- Forward-facing:
- Height: 30-49 inches
- Weight: 20-65 lbs.
- Minimum Age: 1 year and walking unassisted

AR-15 Upper Receiver New GI Spec
this is an update to the CDNN uppers. i took a chance and ordered a couple and this is what they sent me.
the uppers are a3 flat tops with standard feed ramps. the are marked DSA on the front of the upper just above the gas port tube outlet. they have a square forge mark indicating they were forged by BAC. nothing wrong here, i have seen colts use the same upper. i built the middie on one of these from JSE last year.
they are t marked but not outlined. i did trial fit a bolt carrier and charging-handle, they fit fine.
they do have a slight surface imperfection in the finish on the port side just above the rear take down pin. there are some tiny pin-prick like marks in the finish. they are very small and your going to have to look very close to see them. sort of like the finish had a few super tiny bubbles in it that dried and chipped the finish and left these pin-prick like marks.
they could be cosmetic blems or it could be some kind of handling marks--they are so small who cares?
i am happy with them and they will make fine shooters.

You made popcorn, started the movie and got comfortable only to realize there's a terrible glare on your television - sound familiar? Sounds like you need Home Theater window treatments. Whether you have the TV in the living room or in a dedicated home theater, reducing or preventing glare with the right window treatment can make all the difference. Here are some home theater window covering ideas to avoid glare and have the best home theater experience.
You'll first need to decide if you just want to cut the glare or if you want to go for the fully darkened theater experience. That will determine the opacity of the window shade you'll need. Solar screen shades and semi-opaque cellular shades will uniformly soften the light coming into the room and minimize the glare. To completely darken a room, consider a blackout shade. Either way, a solid shade is more effective at reducing glare than a horizontal blind with slats and holes that light can easily pass through.
When ordering a blackout shade, keep in mind that the blackout quality of the shade applies only to light trying to pass through the fabric - you will also need to consider light going around the shade. For tips on how to minimize any light seepage and make the most of your home theater window coverings, read our Blackout and Room Darkening window treatments page. By the same token, you'll want to order the flat panel style instead of the hobbled or "looped" style if you are choosing a roman shade.
To give yourself more flexibility, consider layering your window treatments. A light-filtering shade combined with a room-darkening drapery, for example, lets you control how much light you have in the room. Enjoy your home theater window treatments and enjoy the movie!
Note: 'Home theater blinds' is normally considered a misnomer, and practically speaking, nearly all home theater window treatments are shades. However, there are blackout blinds, called panel tracks that could be used in a media room for special applications. Much like panels of woven wood blinds with an opaque liner sewn on and riding on siding rails attached to the ceiling.
If you have a media room with an opening to another room that is allowing light in, then the home theater window coverings you need will indeed be blinds. These will provide a near-blackout effect that can be used to keep light from inside your house out of your media room!

The Moyers Tigers spent the last week at the annual Coleman tourney. Up first for the Lady Tigers would be the Caney Cougars. The Ladies took to the court with desire but couldn't convert and fell behind 24-5 at the half. The Ladies recouped at half and came back out much more impressive scoring immediately and at the end of three it was 40-11. Caney had a tough inside game and the Lady Tigers battled hard. The much improved Lady Tigers showed good passing skills and moved the ball well, but fell short of their goal 49-13.Â

January Meeting of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club
Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club will hold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, January 12. The club normally meets at 7:30 p.m. at the Wildlife Heritage Center and Museum. However, the club has agreed to postpone its meeting time to allow the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife to host a public meeting on proposed wildlife regulation changes. Their meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Wildlife Heritage Center. The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club members will meet immediately after the public meeting.
On December 29th and 30th Antlers hosted a Holiday Basketball Festival for local teams. Most of the games went smoothly but during the Bearcats and Rams Boy's game the crowd began to show their true colors with yelling at the referees, cursing at coaches and all in all bad sportsmanship on the part of the fans and parents in the stands.

The Charleston Southern basketball teams begin the season this week.
The Bucs host Johnson University (Tenn.) at 8 p.m. on Friday, and the Lady Buccaneers travel to the University of South Carolina on Saturday for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The Bucs then travel to Delaware on Nov. 10 before hosting UNC Wilmington on Nov. 13.
CSU's men's team returns three starters and eight letterwinners from a squad that won 19 games, captured the Big South South Division title, and advanced to the National Invitation Tournament. The Bucs reached national postseason play for the second time in program history behind a high-powered offense that finished 39th in the country in scoring, and second in made 3-point field goals per game.
Junior guards Saah Nimley and Arlon Harper expected to lead CSU. Both were named to the Big South's preseason all-conference team and the Buccaneers were chosen as the favorites to win the Big South South again.
"They bring a great confidence and swagger to our team, and we are excited to see them continue to grow as upperclassmen," head coach Barclay Radebaugh said.
Nimley received nine first-place votes for Big South Preseason Player of the Year coming off a 2012-13 season in which he earned first-team honors after averaging 16.9 points and 6.4 rebounds in league play, and 15.9 points overall.
The Bucs' sparkplug had six double-doubles, enjoyed 13 20-point games, and ranked fourth in the Big South with 151 assists.
Harper was a second-team all-conference performer in 2012-13 after averaging 15.3 points and nearly two steals a game. He finished fourth in the Big South in steals and eighth in scoring and field goal percentage.
For the CSU women's team, returning seniors DJ Fowler, Erin Bratcher, Kirklin Kirkpatrick and Anicia Dotson give the Lady Bucs hope for the season ahead as CSU is coming off an 8-20 overall record last season, going 3-15 in Big South play in their first year under Fred Applin.
After the USC game, CSU returns home on Nov. 12, hosting Southern Wesleyan in their home opener at 7 p.m.
CSU's women were picked to finish 10th overall in the Big South Conference.

Sneaky iPhone Developer Wobbles Around Apple's "Boob" Ban
Warning: Video possibly NSFW-ish. If bikini bouncing will get you in trouble, stay clear.
We previously mentioned in passing that Apple had rejected iBoobs, an iPhone app that presented accelerometer-powered cartoon jiggling. Apparently this crossed even the (sigh) fart app line. Well, the Register says Wobble decided to get around this by not providing any built in booty, cartoon or otherwise. All it does is enable user-definable "wobble" zones in ANY photo or image. We're guessing that while the above video makes the real focus clear enough, Wobble was likely submitted to Apple with more innocuous images, like jello or cartoon puppies or what not.
As such, Wobble is now one of the more than 15,000 apps available via the iTunes App Store. You buying it? Protesting it? Protesting out loud while nonchalantly hitting the download link?
And guys, before you get too jiggly with it, just imagine what the ladies might do in Wobble revenge...

Sneaky iPhone Developer Wobbles Around Apple's "Boob" Ban
I'm not sure that sneakiness is the right word. Right or wrong, Apple set some guidelines for decency, which were followed.
The App respects those guidelines and doesn't ship any offensive material at all. In fact it works quite well if you want to position a wobble region over someones face - their head bobs up and down.
Of course we know what people want, and what they are going to use it for, but it is up to the user. That said, this application will go down in history as being responsible for the wobbling of most breasts since the Baywatch opening credits ;-)
LOL best $.99 I've ever spent!!!!
Haha awesome app. I wonder how much money they made. Excellent app idea!
iPhone is really getting engaged with people because of its applications. And people consider it as worlds best handset

Courses: Social Problems (SOCLH133B01)
Spring 2013
This course is designed to identify the nature and severity of social problem and to evaluate proposed solutions to such problems. The goal of this class is to provide basic tools to answer questions such as the following: What constitutes a social problem? Who defines when something is a social problem? Why do some social problems receive so much attention, while others are ignored? Under what conditions do different types of social problems emerge? In this course, students will learn to think critically about a variety of social problems in our society and about the strategies and policies designed to solve problems such as poverty, crime, wage inequality, educational inequality, racism and sexism. Students will learn to criticize popular discourses from a critical sociological perspective and will be encouraged to form their own opinions and critiques.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL Draft: Five players to watch at combine
Wednesday stamps the beginning of the annual NFL meat market, better known as the NFL Scouting Combine. While most, if not all of the scouting reports are filed on these players already, this is a chance to meet face-to-face with the prospects.
While the Arizona Cardinals should have the opportunity to take a very good player at the seventh overall spot, that doesn't alleviate the stress for fans.
Where do they take a quarterback? How many offensive linemen should they take? Is adding a running back and a deep threat at wide receiver a priority? What about the defense?
Well, there are too many players to list to watch, but here are five players I am keeping my eye on in Indianapolis.
Lane Johnson, OT Oklahoma - 6-6, 300 lbs
His athleticism is undeniable, his potential is unreal, but is he really worth the seventh overall pick if fellow tackles Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher are gone?
That's the question that the Cardinals will need to ask themselves, but at the Combine I want to see that it isn't just athleticism for Johnson.
Does he have the strength? How does he move laterally? What does his technique in shorts look like?
Johnson has flown up draft boards because of other players going back to school and an impressive Senior Bowl. If he drops a sub-4.8 forty and shows that his smallish frame has some strength, I may be able to start getting on board with him at seven.
Tyler Bray, QB Tennessee - 6-6, 215 lbs
It's odd that a quarterback that has some upside like Bray would volunteer to throw at the Combine -- and yes, I am aware that Geno Smith has decided to throw, but I don't see Smith falling to seven.
Bray has an arm that's been touched by the football gods, but his mechanics and footwork lead to accuracy issues -- something I've seen more than enough of in my time as a Cardinals fan.
I am anxious to see Bray work with receivers he isn't comfortable with on throws, which while predetermined, will give us an idea of where his accuracy is. Let's face it -- if Bray isn't accurate in shorts versus air, there likely is no hope for him to ever get to where he needs to be.
Kiko Alonso, LB Oregon - 6-3, 242 lbs
When the weekend is done in Indianapolis, Alonso may have cemented himself as a round two pick, because he should put on a show.
My questions won't be regarding what Alonso does on the field. I want to make sure he checks out medically -- he had a torn ACL in 2010 and nagging wrist injuries in 2012. But I also want to see what comes of his team interviews and what he has to say about two arrests -- one in 2010 and one in 2011.
The play has always been there, but that isn't what you have to worry about with Alonso.
Le'Veon Bell, RB Michigan St 6-2 244lbs
What does Bell weigh, and what does he run?
I know, that's simple, but it is reality, he was heavy during the year, took a beating in the B1G and now has to show scouts that he is leaner, meaner and ready to run.
If Bell doesn't burn a 4.7 forty it won't be that big of a deal, but what are his ten-yard splits? What does he look like in the short area quickness and burst?
Bell seemed to meander towards holes as Michigan State's season wound down, and I want to see that explosiveness again.
Michael Mauti, LB Penn St - 6-2, 235 lbs
Mauti was working his way up draft boards, showing the explosiveness and vision that linebackers from Penn State have been known for, while still regaining his form after having both knees surgically repaired from torn ACLs.
Unfortunately for Mauti, he was derailed by yet another knee injury. Though this time he chose not disclose it and has instead returned home to Louisiana to train for the NFL Scouting Combine.
Maui isn't participating in any on-field drills, but I wonder what the reaction from medical staffs and scouts from around the league will be.
Will they give this guy a chance, or is three knee injuries too many?
I want to see if he starts to generate that buzz again after the combine and if he checks out medically.
Those are five players that I am excited to see on the field or get the medical reports about during the Combine. All five fit into needs for the Cardinals and may be fits into the scheme Arizona looks to employ.

A civil lawsuit has now been added to the pile of recent issues surrounding Compass Academy and its founder, Jonathan "Jay" Brooks.
Sandra Fadeley of Aiken has filed a civil suit in Circuit Court claiming that Brooks forged her signature, badly, when he sold all of her stocks and invested the money in Brooks' own Compass Academy project.
The lawsuit, which Fadeley is hoping will become a class action suit, has been filed against Compass Academy, Brooks, J. Brooks Financial LLC and Brooks Real Estate Holdings.
Individually, Fadeley claims she became a client of Brooks and his companies on Jan. 24. Brooks took control of her funds and soon after, "without Plaintiff's knowledge of consent, sold all stocks owned by" Fadeley, according to court documents. This allegedly unrequested sale cost the defendant capital gains tax and broker fees, the complaint states.
Then, on Feb. 19, again without the consent of Fadeley, Brooks is alleged to have forged the signature of his client and transferred the funds to an account of Compass Academy, according to the complaint.
"This is not the signature of the Plaintiff as Plaintiff does not sign her name this way and 'Sandy' is misspelled on the document," the complaint reads. Attached to the complaint are two exhibits of electronic funds transfers forms with the signatures "Sandy Lee Fadeley." According to records, Fadeley truncates her name to Sandi – not Sandy.
On Feb. 27, a very similar incident is described in the complaint.
The "class" are defined as "All South Carolina citizens whose funds were used to purchase securities from Defendants."
Brooks is alleged, by the Securities Division of the Attorney General's office, to have illegally sold securities – as investments in Compass Academy – that were unregistered with the State and that he was not registered as a broker-dealer with the company that sold them. Both of these are a breach of State Securities Act punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 per incident, according to the Attorney General's Office.
This complaint was filed on March 8, and there has not yet been a response filed from Brooks or his attorney. Emails and calls requesting comment from Brooks were not returned.
The lawsuit was filed after the Attorney General's office released its first document, a "Notice of Intent to Seek Revocation" of Brooks' financial advising registrations. Brooks and his attorney have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing related to this document and a subsequent civil complaint from the Attorney General.

Bad kids
An I'On woman told police that for years her neighbor's kids have been playing in her yard and she was tired of it. According to a police report, she told the officer she was worried something would happen to them on her property. One afternoon she saw the kids in her yard and they were kicking her bushes. She went outside and asked them three times to leave, she told the officer. When they didn't leave, she called police. An officer responded and the kids did go home, but their father paid the neighbor a visit.
The woman told the officer that the children's father threatened her and told her he would harass her until she moved. She said this upset her and scared her and she wanted the incident documented in case anything were to happen to her house. She did not want the officer to speak to the neighbor so the officer told her to call the police if he comes to her residence again.

Natural gas policy
Natural gas can be a beneficial energy resource if produced in a manner that is good for public health and the environment
Natural gas is an important and growing part of our nation's energy portfolio. It emits less greenhouse gases than coal when combusted and avoids mercury and other dangerous air pollutants that come from coal. It could be a win-win if — and this is a big if — we do it the right way.
EDF is taking a leading role to minimize risks associated with developing new supplies of natural gas, while maximizing the lower carbon benefit inherent to natural gas as compared to other fossil fuels.
What are the environmental risks?
Our approach to safer natural gas development is focused on the following key problem areas:
- Exposure to toxic chemicals and waste products
- Well construction and design
- Climate impacts
- Local and regional air quality
- Land use and community impacts
Our work
Our team is working on the front lines to ensure that natural gas is produced in a way that safeguards public health and the environment through:
- Comprehensive disclosure of hydraulic fracturing chemicals
- Modernization of rules for well construction and operation
- Strict management of water and waste systems
- State and national standards for improving air quality and reducing climate impacts
- Minimization of land use and community impacts from natural gas development
Improving corporate performance
Even with tough standards in place, reducing methane emissions and minimizing environmental risk ultimately depends on industry embracing environmental responsibility. EDF is working with progressive gas companies on model rules for well construction and operation, supporting those in the industry who are forging a better path.
Read the National Geographic story on this partnership »
Strengthening environmental management in the shale gas industry
EDF president Fred Krupp was selected to serve on the Natural Gas Subcommittee of the Secretary of Energy's Advisory Board.
The subcommittee's final report is a call to action in Washington and in the states to make sure the panel's recommendations are implemented. EDF realizes that it is no simple task to strike a balance between public safety and the development of this crucial energy resource, but it is essential that we do so. The public's right to clean water and clean air cannot be compromised.

What I Do
Lead, coordinate, and facilitate the work of a diverse and committed staff of individuals in the offices of Admission and Financial Aid. I am a member of President Raynard Kington's senior staff and attend a number of meetings where we discuss how to create the best possible experience for students at Grinnell. My favorite part of my job is interacting with prospective students and their parents.
What I Did
I spent my childhood in Zanesville, Ohio before moving to Kentucky where I later attended Berea College. I earned a masters degree in student personnel services for higher education and recently completed coursework for a Ph.D. in Educational Policy Students and Evaluation at the University of Kentucky. Prior to coming to Grinnell in 2012, I served as Dean of Enrollment and Academic Services, Associate Provost, and Director of Admissions (not all at once) for Berea College in Kentucky. My oldest daughter enrolled at Grinnell in 2011 and had such a terrific first year experience that we followed her here!
What I Love
My kids. Music. Sports. The work and writings of Marcus Borg. Advocates for peace and justice at the local, regional, national, and international levels. My alma mater. The people I work with at Grinnell. A worthy cause. A pretty picture. A novel restaurant. The chicken little sandwich (with dragon fire sauce) at The Dragon Wagon. Uncommon courage; the kind demonstrated in movies like Braveheart, Cinderella Man, Saving Private Ryan. A soft pillow. My parents, siblings, cousins. Tift Merritt, Josh Groban, James Taylor, Celine Dion, Eva Cassidy, fields of gold. Owsley Fork under a full moon. Anna and the King. A game of pool before bed. Pizza with chopped cilantro (thrown on after it comes out of the oven). Tremont on Main. Creating transformative opportunities for college students, especially the first generation, low-income variety.

After some confusion regarding the distribution schedule of round III Capital Project Sales Tax funds, Aiken County Council advanced several thousand dollars to the towns of Windsor and Wagener.
On Sept. 17, Council approved the motion to advance $150,000 to Wagener and $12,000 to Windsor. Both towns are scheduled to receive these funds later in the fall, but requested an advance because they have already started several of their projects.
The final check for the last round of sales tax money and the first batch of round III came in around April, according to County Administrator Clay Killian. The smaller municipalities, like Wagener, Windsor and Burnettown, receive the lump sum of their money before the County and cities of North Augusta and Aiken get their allocations.
But, the towns are listed in alphabetical order on the ballot meaning that they receive their funds in that sequence.
Wagener and Windsor officials thought they would receive their money in April and began a few of their projects. But with the two being at the bottom of the list of small towns, the amount of the first check stopped short of them. Wagener and Windsor will not receive their Capital Projects Sales Tax funds until the next wave of money comes in October.
Wagener Mayor Mike Miller said they were told to expect the funding in April and went ahead with several of their projects because it was urgent. Several new police cars were purchased, and more importantly, a backhoe to help with broken water lines. Miller wrote in a letter to County Treasurer Jason Goings that they needed the money as soon as possible because every debt they have connected to those items purchased "is past due, currently due or soon to be due."
The Town had a 1972 Army surplus backhoe, but it was starting to malfunction and wasn't safe to use, Miller said. Then, a line break occurred near the Piggly Wiggly, and without a backhoe to fix the issue, about 35 percent of the town would have been without water.
Miller said with each round of sales tax money, they all learn something new and don't fault anyone for the confusion.
"I will never, ever again, if I'm still mayor, count these chickens until they're hatched," Miller said. "I appreciate the actions of Council, the Treasurer Jason Goings and the administration."
Windsor Mayor Frank Mizell said they started work on the town park and needed the funds to complete the project.
The total amount of round III funds designated to go to Wagener is $1,070,000. Windsor will receive a total of $81,000.
Killian said in the future, the Capital Project Sales Tax ballot may schedule a portion of funds to go to each small town to assure they all get something in the first quarter.
The County will be reimbursed when the next round of sales tax funds come in later this fall.
Amy Banton is the County beat reporter and has been with the Aiken Standard since May 2010.

Steve Jobs considering iPad 2 event appearance?
Kara Swisher from Boom Town claims Steve Jobs is considering making an appearance at the iPad 2 launch event tomorrow:
According to several sources close to the situation, Apple CEO Steve Jobs–who is on a health-related leave from the company–is definitely considering an appearance at its big iPad 2 event tomorrow.
But the possibility–which would be a big sensation at the San Francisco gathering and has been subject to great speculation–is also just as definitely not confirmed as yet, stressed sources.
If Jobs does appear, it would be brief she says. iPad 2 will no doubt be the start of the show and while Phil Schiller, Tim Cook, Scott Forstall and the other execs will no doubt present it well, it would be great to see Steve Jobs introduce or cap off the event.

Steve Jobs considering iPad 2 event appearance?
Probably wants one last hurrah.
I wish Mr Jobs the best ! Hoping that he can battle this once again and hopefully be back where he belongs : Top Of The World With Apple!
Apple needs him and his vision.
We know it's 6pm GMT. The invite is on the web (including Tipb.com)
I would like to see someone have a FaceTime call with Steve, that would be great. Probably at his fancy new house, in a black turtleneck'd, hospital gown. For comic value.
This. Anyone?
I will not be there at all. Don't believe what you read.
Sent from my iPad 3
I believe everyone should try out our new tablet based Android 3.0... Our competitors OS are not tablet optimized. Our Partners at Motorola have just released the xoom running 3.0 and encourage all of you to check it out.
I agree with you, Jd. I didn't know that the caliber of some of the people who comment here is so undeniably low. I hope the earth opens up below you and swallows you whole, only to fart you all out into the dead of space. I bet Steve Jobs has a telescope so he can have a look at the sh** that's floating around in space.
Do you know any other CEO who has such an amazing record of mainstreaming one new technology after another, creating one new market after another, for as long as, and for as much profit margin as Steve Jobs has?
Command line interface, graphical user interface, pixar animation studios, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, App store, iPad, etc. Etc.
I really like it when Jobs is at the wheel. But I do, I like all the executives at Apple. They all bring something different and have really interesting personalities to me. I'm just really interested in what they have qued up.
"definitely considering" appearing. Wow, what could be more definitive than that! I'll definitely consider watching, then. rolleyes

Things I liked:I really loved the looks of the stock and the thumb hole in it made it really comfortable. The rifle seemed to settle down after only a few shots and it was surprisingly accurate up to 25 yards
Things I would have changed:I didn't care for the scope mounts and it would be nice to have open sights for those not interested in having a scope because of the problems sometimes with spring guns.
What others should know:The rifle is a little on the heavy side and is almost too pretty to have for an every day shooter.
Things I liked:I like the stock
Things I would have changed:The scope or the gun is useless the scope doesn't stay on the gun. The scope or the rings are bad quality it is almost impossible to sight in. I put the scope on another gun had same problem. It is also not a very accurate gun wished I would have never bought it.
What others should know:Unless ruger makes changes on this gun I would not tell anybody to purchase this gun. I bought this for my daughter for 4h shooting sports. Big mistake.
Things I liked:Love the thumb hole. Makes the trigger pull smoother and easier. For small varmits and plinking it is great.
Things I would have changed:None
What others should know:Muzzle break works great to quiet the report
