Sources: Isiah Thomas speaks with Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling - ESPN Good now send Chris Kaman our way!
Nope, he still works for the Knicks. As a scout, but I guess he was allowed to interview for the front office job.
Let's see, Isiah likes to spend money on players like it has an expiration date, and Sterling still has his first dime... Match made in heaven.
That's sounds like a good idea...Laimbeer as Piston coach next year, Zeke as his assistant and Mahorn as Shock head coach, Curry as his assistant I could live with that...
I lost a lot of respect for Zeke after NY. I hung with him in Toronto and Indiana. He has your typical, complicated, dysfunctional celebrity life.
Very dysfunctional. I wonder what problems that Bill Davidson was talking about. He was such an embarrassment in New York. The trial itself was so hard to watch and read about.
You can't stop a love for BBall like that. He'll land on his feet. Bad coaches and GMs get recirculated all the time.
Try Isiah here... AP Source: FIU close to naming Isiah Thomas coach< - College Basketball - Rivals.com
I know Zeke has alot of baggage right now but I know he has at least one fan in SC. I am very happy for him and I hope this is the first step back to the top for him where he belongs. I love Zeke.

Why You Should Search Vital Stats First to Get Answers
Vital stats involve so many records; it is hard to begin to explain them all. However, you do not need to know everything in order to start your search. In fact, most people know very little when they search online. This is why searching online is so popular. You can search with less information and still get quality results.
Let's start at the beginning.
What are vital stats?
When you search online, vital stats will include all court records. This increases your chances of finding the information you are looking for. However, it does result in a large amount of information and you will have to determine which ones you wish to examine.
The same cannot be said for searching in person. When you go in person, you have to know what documents you are looking for and where they will be found.
For example: The birth certificate will be in one county while the death certificate is in another. The marriage license will most likely be in yet another county and could be in another state altogether. This makes searching for vital records in person time consuming and difficult. However, if you know all the information and you live close, it is not out of the realm of possibility.
3 Ways to Obtain Vital Records
- Contacting Vital Statistics Office
a. If you know the county in which the record is located you can contact the local vital statistics office.
b. Hours of operation vary but since they are government agencies, you can guess they will be open like all the other government offices in your area.
c. Generally, you can find the address through the State's website. Go to the state and look up the county to find the correct address. - Walk-in the Office
a. This is faster than contacting the office by phone or letter.
b. Once you know the location and hours of operation, you can walk-in the office and get service.
c. Same day service is often available for birth certificates. Other records will take a while. - Online Search
a. This is the fastest way to obtain information.
b. Online databases will charge a fee for searching. However, you can search for multiple records in multiple cities, counties, and states at the same time.
c. The documents you find will represent official documents but they are not certified copies. The results show what you would find if you went to that court.
You can travel from county to county searching through public records or you can search online for vital stats and get results now. The only reason to waste time going to courthouses is if you need the official document. Otherwise, save yourself the trouble and search online.

Clock ticks on Mendez' career hopes
The clock is ticking on Gennifer Mendez, and she hears it clearly. She knows there might not be much more time until she can't hear the ticking anymore and it's just too late.
That might seem extreme for a young woman who turned 25 in August and is three years removed from graduating from the University of South Florida.

text: Hello, Im pregnant with a due date only a few weeks away. Im trying to plan out how to do this safely while Im breast feeding. I would like to go on a fresh squeezed fruit and veg diet around 2 months after delivery. Im planning on going raw before doing this so its not a dramatic change and so I dont pass toxins into my milk through detoxing. Im just wondering how I should go about it. I really dont eat red meat, chicken or eggs. The only meat I really eat is turkey. I drink rice milk, really the only issues I have ever had in the past with going raw is I love cheese. I would just love some advice on how to transition to raw without having any issues with my breast milk. This isnt something I can talk to my doc about cause I know she will tell me I need to eat dairy which I know is not true. I read from another breastfeeding mother "cows dont need dairy to make milk and neither do we" I thought that was a very good point. well any tips would be very appreciated, thanks!

Rapha at the Races
I was more than thrilled to see Dan Sharp out racing his bike this past weekend. After a slight mishap during the Wednesday night training race at Alpenrose Dairy we were unsure if he would find a rig in time for Sundays action.
Turns out Dan had previously ordered a Tony Pereira custom Cyclocross bike to carry him through the season. Well, Tony literally raced through the final preparations in getting it ready. The bike is cream-colored perfection and accented by a few of the Pereira finishing touches. Check out the rear brake stop.
Didn't get to snap as many pics as I would have liked, but I figured I would let Mr. Sharp collect himself as his race had just ended. His final placing on the day was fourth.
But it brings up a good question, are you familiar with Dan's work? You can check his website (his cycling photography is the bees knees) for what he is working on at the moment, or you can click through the Rapha Continental section of this site to see what else he has shot. Stevens Pass is a great example of this, Cycle Oregon, Dufur, Gibralter, Cloudburst, New Paltz, he shot them all.
As illustrated in the photos, Dan Sharp also has impeccable style as he sports his Club Jersey (I miss this colorway) and Armwarmers (that come with the Classic Jersey).
Maybe he was not aware that we have a whole line of clothing just for such a sport? Check out the line of Cyclocross Clothing.

I count it lucky that silver and gold are staying this low. It gives me more time to save up to buy more while the price is low. I hope it stays low for a long time actually. Or at least a very slow rise.

Well, call me a pessimist, but T-Bills and CDs are damned hard to swap for bullets or beans if TSHTF, especially if said CDs and T-Bills are locked in a safe deposit box in a locked up bank somewhere.
Also, even if you had them on hand, if things go totally to hell the T-Bills won't be worth ANYTHING as trade unless someone forgot to stock up on toilet paper.
Silver ? why, nothing is wrong, I bought some today , about five months from now, it should be, much higher, just my guess...

Really when you get down to it the important thing is the silver you have will still be the silver you have, up or down. You should be able to trade it for what ever the dollar happens to be worth up, down, or sideways.
Down you pay no capital gains taxes...
so really it seems there is no down side to having it...but I could be sadly mistaken‽
Last edited by Carson; 11-03-2012 at 12:03 AM.
Capital Gains ? that is blasphemy , you are supposed to gain, paying taxes on again ? Now, that, is offensive
The point of buying silver is to protect against currency debasement. Currency debasement has been ongoing for quite some time and since the first QE has accelerated. Based on Fed actions we have every reason to expect continued and more aggressive debasement to continue until they are no longer able to do so - which may well be at the point where printing a dollar is pointless because it won't be worth anything, in any amount.
Silver in this context is a way to preserve wealth in spite of these overt, massive currency manipulations. Silver investors see every price drop as an opportunity to buy more. It's a long term (10+ yrs) investment. The timeline you're looking at when buying silver is MINIMUM five years from now, after Print & Pray policy has run its natural course (destroying the currency). Then you'll be holding something that still represents real wealth while all holders of dollars will be looking at something that can't buy a loaf of bread with less than a wheelbarrow full.
On the question of silver vs. gold, the reasons to choose silver are:
1) Silver has a far easier entry price point which makes it good for people who aren't wealthy, and also allows acquisition in smaller increments.
2) Gold has been confiscated by the government in the past and has a far greater chance of being confiscated in the future. Silver is HARD to confiscate due to weight and the amount you need to have to be worth the effort of confiscation.
3) The historical ratio of silver value to gold value (due to ratio of their relative presence in the Earth's crust) is 1:16. The current ratio is closer to 1:50, meaning silver has a lot of relative ground that it can potentially make up vs. gold.
4) Gold has a premium associated with it due to visibility and its other desirable properties (doesn't tarnish, can store wealth in a more compact manner than silver). Silver does not have this premium.
5) Current silver prices are artificially low due to JPM shenanigans which you can search the net for all the gory details. But basically they are offering it to you now at a far lower price than it would be in a free market, so why the heck not take the massive discount being offered to you?
6) Tungsten fakes. Worth it for gold; the equivalent substitution for silver can't be done cost-effectively.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
'E lost 'is leg to a French cannon ball aaarrr Jim Lad.

The armed man asks 'Why?'.The unarmed man says 'Yes!'.
Serious answer: The dollar index long term looks like a double bottom to me.So how can that possibly occur?I would NEVER put all my eggs in one basket because I think inflation or deflation are both possible.You can open a treasury account and buy short term us treasuries and also hold silver too.I own Robert Prechter's book as well as Peter Schiffs'.In a longer term scale,read Revelation 6:6.

You'll need what's left of Contrast B and one ball of Contrast A.
Download the blocking template - please print as "actual size" on your printer. NOT as "fit to page"
View text-only version of KAL Clue 4
Helpful notions:
- Stitch marker or piece of waste yarn in a color that contrasts with contrast A.
- Each skill in the list links to a video in our Video Library where you can learn the skill or remind yourself what to do.
- Casting on
- Knit (garter stitch)
- Purl
- K1below – knit 1 below
- Casting off
- Keep your ends about 12" [30.5 cm] long because you'll be using them for seaming later.
- As with Clue 1, it's helpful to mark the right side so you can keep track of your progress.
- This clue also uses the technique of knit, purl, and knit into one stitch to increase. Members found this video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP_UHylNAMQ
- Keep in mind that the first half of this square is a four-pattern repeat.
Please do not post any photos to this thread. They belong in the "Knit-Along Clue 4: Spoilers and Photos" thread!
When you're done the week's knitting, why not pat yourself on the back and add a badge to your signature?
Just open the User Control Panel's "Signature" page. In the field where you type your signature, add the code below and you'll be able to show off your progress! It's a good idea to replace last week's badge with this one so your signature isn't cluttered
- Code: Select all

[Solved] PSD to CSS conversion problem
Dear Forum users,
From my designer I got a complete PSD and I created a valid html/css + script implementation. Only for slider I got a problem. Please, check my website http://fog7.org and its main slider, right after the menu. Well, I used javascript, so the slider (li element) is moving, but this is the real design image: http://www.picz.ge/img/s1/1301/30/f/f28fa27b221c.jpg
Do you see the difference? I have marked with red line of what I am not able to do . I tried everything, but maybe there is a trick for such thing? I'm looking for your help to finish the design completely.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
a.current:before, a.current:after { border-color: transparent #099edd transparent transparent; border-style: solid; border-width: 0 15px 15px 0; content: ""; height: 20px; width: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; left: -12px; z-index: 1; } a.current:after { border-width: 15px 15px 0px 0px; top: auto; bottom: 0; }
Thanks. Will try it.
I should have added that you'll need to remove the existing :after ruleset because it's more specific and will overrule these (your selectors are unnecessarily long).

Making SharePoint Social with Drupal Commons
Making SharePoint Social with Drupal Commons
With Drupal Commons, organizations can get more out of their Microsoft SharePoint platform by extending it to internal and external community sites. Drupal Commons now integrates directly with Microsoft SharePoint, enabling SharePoint users to open up their documents and files for collaboration and input from the wisdom of crowds both inside and outside the organization. Combine SharePoint's workflow and document management capabilities with the content-rich, social experiences native to Commons.
In this webinar you will learn how:
- Commons and Sharepoint can be seemlessly integrated within an employee intranet or customer community
- How Sharepoint documents can be opened/edited/deleted and folders created within Commons
- How to get started integrating the two solutions
Great !
I can't wait until the module will be published on drupal.org !
I look forward to seeing this published. Would you know if this is compatible with SharePoint 2010 Foundation? That edition does include CMIS connector and has the advantage of being free (with a licensed copy of Server 2008)
Does someone knows the current state of the implementation?

Do you want to create YOUR INCREDIBLE 2013?
I was introduced to the most amazing workbook and planner by a dear friend of mine. She's been a part of a fantastic group of women since last spring and has been talking to me about them off and on and how it has changed her life. Recently she did a video review of the Incredible 2013 Create Your Incredible Year Calendar and Workbook after watching the video and seeing just how interactive and SIMPLE the book was to work with I HAD to get a copy for myself. And it is less than then bucks! I got to the site and they had multiple options, they have a personal and a business edition. Of course I wanted both, you can buy a bundle for less. They also offer an amazing opportunity to join the women's circle where you get all of the materials they have for a yearly membership.
I was really torn, should I spend the money or not. So, I left it to a little hard work and the Universe. If It was meant to be I would have the money by the end of the day on Monday and if not, it wasn't meant to be. Guess what! I DID It! On Christmas Eve no less. My journey to an incredible 2013 started with my amazing customers. Thank you so very much to those of you who made my dream begin. I have already started working in my workbook. It has been so freeing and I feel energized and excited to bring you more new jewelry and product lines in the new year.

You are here: Waterloo \ Arts & Listings \ History \ FROM WAR TO THE WINDRUSH
23 June 2008
By Jessica Chandler
ON JUNE 22, 1948, Sam King, along with 492 West Indian passengers arrived on the docks of Tilbury, Essex on the SS Empire Windrush.
Filled with plucky spirit and buoyed by optimism and anticipation for their new lives in a country they had proudly served during the war, the passengers, most of them ex-servicemen, were the first flux of Caribbean immigrants and would go on to change the face of Britain forever. They would also become known as the Windrush generation.
Now, sixty years on from that pivotal moment, the war veterans were honoured at the Imperial War Museum with a special new exhibit, From War to Windrush, which features pictures, newsreels and documents, from this famous ship and its even more famous passengers.
One of those honoured was Sam King MBE, who brought the borough acclaim and international attention when he became elected the first black mayor of Southwark.
The Windrush passengers were greeted with a mixed and cautious response. Although many of them regarded England as their Mother Country due to their British colonial education and roots, politicians and some newspapers were unsure what to make of their arrival. Things were tough for the new immigrants, the cold weather was hard to adjust to, housing was difficult to obtain although jobs were available on the buses, factories and in the new National Health Service.
For the immigrants finding acceptance was hardest in the social gathering places of British culture, like pubs, working men's clubs and churches, prompting dark cellars to be turned into improvised nightclubs and front rooms to be used as church pews.
For Sam King, born in Jamaica in 1926, his arrival on the Windrush was a dream come true since his days serving in the Royal Air Force in 1944. Although proud to be doing his part serving King and Country the government ordered him to leave the service in 1947 along with hundreds of other Jamaican airmen who were sent home. It was a mixture of luck and drive that led him to book a passage back to England the following year when he saw tickets advertised for £28 10s. He re-enlisted and served for four years, finally leaving the RAF with the rank of corporal.
One of Mr King's many achievements was to be one of the first Black families to buy their own home. Settling down in Camberwell in the mid 1950s, Mr King, after working as a postman, became circulation manager of the Brixton based West Indian Gazette. It was this monthly paper that organised Britain's first Black Caribbean carnival in response to the race riots. Notting Hill Carnival is now Europe's largest carnival.
Mr King's involvement with the church led family and friends to suggest he get involved in local politics and he did, serving as a Labour councillor for Bellenden Ward between 1982 and 1986. Although there were other Black councillors in Southwark at the time, Mr King was the first to become Mayor in 1983.
As Mr King told the 'News', it was an exciting time of change and strong moral values. Mr King said: "Once the 1982 Equal Opportunity Act came out, Britain changed, the world changed. But then we beat you in cricket in 1950 so it's an exchange man. We kept our noses clean and we did the job."
Things were not always plain sailing. When word got out that a black councillor was to be Mayor of Southwark, the National Front phoned Mr King's home and threatened to burn down his house and slit his throat. The phone calls kept coming, so Mr King appealed to the police, who sent a reluctant Sergeant around till he answered one of the calls. Within an hour a man was stationed outside the house for three weeks, day and night. After a month of being Mayor the story emerged of the death threats and police protection, and within a week, news spread across the British Isles, with the BBC and ITV picking up the story.
As Mr King tells it, six months afterwards he was at a function and an African student came up said, 'Mr Mayor, Mr Mayor we have your picture!'
Later on Mr King found out that in Soweto, South Africa, during their student week students carried his picture because of the National Front threat.
Mr King told the 'News' it was a defining time for Southwark: "I'll give you an example. About a month after the National Front said they were going to burn my house down and slit my throat, the Women's Cooperative Guild invited me to Peckham Library, Old Kent Road, and they gave me 50 blankets, hand made. I couldn't believe it! For six months they stayed home and knitted the blankets, they said, 'Mr Mayor some people are against you. This is to show that we are for you, here are 50 blankets'. I gave them to the aged. But I should have kept one as a souvenir. I didn't have a wife, my wife died before I was Mayor. But if my wife was there, she would have kept one of the blankets."
Mr King currently lives in Bexley and is a leader of a Pentecostal church. In 1998 he received an MBE from the Queen.

Friday the 13th Part III [DVD]
Director : Steve Miner
Screenplay : Martin Kitrosser and Carol Watson
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1982
Stars : Dana Kimmell (Chris), Paul Kratka (Rick), Nick Savage (Ali), Rachel Howard (Chili), David Katims (Chuck), Larry Zerner (Shelly), Tracie Savage (Debbie), Jeffrey Rogers (Andy), Richard Brooker (Jason Voorhees), Annie Gaybis (The Cashier), Catherine Parks (Vera), Kevin O'Brien (Loco), Gloria Charles (Fox)
When it came time to create the third installment of the Friday the 13th franchise in as many years, the producers clearly realized that the stalk-and-slash formula was already starting to wear thin and was thus in need of a gimmick. The original movie had worked by concealing the identity of the killer, while Part 2 made its mark by introducing Jason Vorhees, who had supposedly drowned as a child but had actually grown up to be a silent, hulking mongoloid who lurked in the woods and killed any airheaded twentysomethings who dared to tread on his terrain. With all the other slasher movies currently making the rounds at the multiplexes, it was getting harder and harder to come up with ever more inventive killings, so what could the producers do?
As it turned out, the answer was to be found in one of the oldest gimmicks in the book: 3-D, which had been used in the 1950s to draw audiences away from their new television sets and back to the theaters, but had been largely out of favor since the mid-1960s. Director Steve Miner (who also helmed Part 2) embraced the idea with glee and helped to kick off a minor wave of 3-D mania at the multiplexes, best epitomized by the trio of threequel horror films that ventured into the third dimension: Amityville 3-D (1982), Jaws III (1983), and Friday the 13th Part III. Miner was more than happy to provide the obligatory in-your-face moments, which range from poles and axe handles coming out of the screen, to a snake leaping out of a cage and a poor victim's eyeball been popped out of the socket. No gimmicky trick shot was too silly not to exploit, although the film's overall mixture of the goofy and the grisly is probably best embodied in the laughable disco-techno-remix version of the Friday the 13th theme music that plays over the opening credits.
The story picks up almost immediately after the end of Part 2, with television news coverage showing the lone survivor of Jason's rampage being loaded into an ambulance even as the killer begins stalking again, dispatching two minor characters within the first five minutes--the slasher genre's answer to the narratively extraneous action sequences used to kick off James Bond films. We are then introduced to a new set of victims, who are decidedly more cartoonish and less human than the previous two films, particularly a Tommy Chong lookalike (David Katims) and a pudgy loser named Shelly (Larry Zerner) who is as pathetic as he is annoying. We can spot the Final Girl right away in Chris (Dana Kimmell), not only because she decides to unload the van instead of go skinny-dipping, but because she gently resists the immediate physical come-ons from Rick (Paul Kratka), a former boyfriend she hasn't seen in months. Chris and her friends are returning to her family's lake house (which we are left to assume is near Crystal Lake) several months after something really bad happened to Chris there.
Screenwriters Martin Kitrosser (who worked as a script supervisor on the first two films and later cowrote the much despised Part V) and Carol Watson seem to have been genuinely disinterested in coming up with anything particularly new, as they literally regurgitate entire sequences from Friday the 13th (1980), including a character being stabbed from underneath a bed and the heroine floating out into the middle of the lake on a canoe after her nightmarish ordeal. The best they can do is introduce the presence of a cheesy motorcycle gang, whose members look like they wandered out of a music video and prove to be far less interesting as victims than ordinary teenagers looking to have a good time.
Granted, Part III is notable in Friday the 13th lore for introducing the infamous hockey mask, which Jason dons halfway through the film and doesn't take off for eight more movies. Yet, despite the inherent fun of the silly 3-D effects, Part III is easily the worst film in the series up until that point, partially because it was so redundant, but also because it is the most technically clumsy. Despite a budget that is obviously much higher than Sean S. Cunningham's independent original (note all the crane and Steadicam shots), the special effects work is at times downright laughable (for example, you can always see the wires used to pull things toward the camera). The MPAA ratings board let Miner and company get away with a much higher gore quotient than in Part 2 (one character is literally cut in half), but it is done with such a sense of step-by-step obligation that it lacks any cleverness or danger, which is always lethal in a horror movie, no matter how rote.

This new DVD of Friday the 13th Part III offers two viewing options, 2-D and 3-D (two pairs of 3-D glasses are included). This is a first for Paramount, whose previous DVD releases were only in 2-D, much to the chagrin of the film's fans. The inclusion of the 3-D version is certainly noteworthy, although it has been converted to the red-blue anaglyph format from the over/under SpaceVision format that was originally used in theaters. The resulting 3-D effect isn't bad as long as we're talking about the separation of planes in space, but any elaborate 3-D effects tend to suffer from blurriness and ghosting, and the anaglyph system unavoidably washes out a lot of the color and makes the image overall fuzzy. To be fair, though, this is the only option for viewers who don't have a special field-sequential system hooked up to their home theater, so it's not surprising that Paramount took this route. Unfortunately, the 2-D version isn't a whole lot better as it is the weakest transfer of the three newly released Friday the 13th discs. The image is a bit soft throughout, lacking in fine detail in many shots, and there is a surprising amount of dirt on the screen, which is possibly inherent to the original elements. Colors in the 2-D version look good, but the darker sequences tend to suffer from graininess and lack of definition. The newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 surround soundtrack is effective enough, especially considering that it was created from an original monaural track, which is also included. | |
Although billed as a "Deluxe Edition" DVD, the only supplement included is the original theatrical trailer in anamorphic widescreen, which is odd given that there was an audio commentary featuring members of the cast included on the disc in the 2004 "From Crystal Lake to Manhattan" box set. |

Just picked up a Dumas Akula RC sub for a steal- $75. Guy says it'll cost me a fortune to get the battery and charger for it. Well, good thing I've got both of those.
Planning to do a static dive upgrade to it, but I'm not sure if I'd like to go with a bladder and pump, or a piston style ballast. Any suggestions?
Also, general talk about RC- boats, planes helicopters, cars, gas and electric. Love to see what people have.

Lying under a tree one unseasonably warm and dry March day, Jay Inslee writes, he realized why more people hadn't woken up to the danger of a changing climate.
"As I luxuriated in the sun, it was easy to see why there is a siren quality to the warming we see around us," Inslee wrote in the 2008 book he co-authored, "Apollo's Fire." "… There is a chance that the same solar lust that drives us to the beach drives us away from facing the threat of global warming."
Climate change has faded as an issue nationally, but it's front and center in the Washington governor's race. Renewable energy is a key piece of the Democrat's jobs plan. Environmentalists plan to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to help elect him.
Inslee made reducing greenhouse-gas emissions his signature issue as a congressman, saying it should be an all-out effort in the style of the Apollo project that put a man on the moon.
Environmental advocates also praise Inslee's Republican rival, Attorney General Rob McKenna, for legal work in support of regulations on greenhouse gases. He parts ways with national Republicans, whose party platform condemns some of those same regulations.
But when it comes to incentives and regulations to help green-energy producers, the two candidates see things differently.
Inslee pitches green energy as an investment Washington can't afford to pass up. The industry is booming, he said at a recent news conference beside the Duwamish River in Seattle, where a Seattle company, General Biodiesel, is turning used cooking oil into fuel.
"The question is, are these jobs going to be in China, Germany, Texas or in Washington?" Inslee said.
McKenna is critical of Inslee's plan to target green-power companies and other industries for aid. The Republican said all businesses need help and a level playing field.
"I'm leery of tax policies that pick winners and losers in the economy," McKenna said in an interview. And he added: "Government has a very poor track record at getting those decisions right."
He gives the example of the Toyota Prius, which as a hybrid didn't qualify in its early days under California's mandate for production of electric cars. The mandate was updated after the debut of the Prius. And McKenna has compared Inslee's plan to federal loan guarantees for the failed solar company Solyndra.
The state Republican Party has relished pointing out where Inslee's own predictions have fallen short. He was bullish in his book on a host of clean-energy entrepreneurs, who have had a mixed record since the book's publication.
For example, Inslee spotlighted the hope he said was building in Grays Harbor that a biodiesel plant and other green industries would boost the fortunes of the former "dying timber town." Republicans point out that jobs remain hard to come by, with Grays Harbor County reporting 12.8 percent unemployment, among the highest in the state.
In his book, Inslee addresses stumbles in the industry and compares them to Thomas Edison's many failed attempts along the way to his light bulb. The long road to making successful wind turbines, he writes, "shows that when it comes to technological development, failure is an option. In fact, it's a certainty, and we can't let it become an excuse for inaction."
If some companies don't succeed, Inslee says, look at the overall success of green energy. A study by the Brookings Institution found the nation's wind-energy jobs had increased nearly 15 percent per year between 2003 and 2010, while the average yearly growth was nearly 9 percent in biofuels and biomass and more than 10 percent in solar power.
"My opponent does not get it when it comes to clean energy," he said at the news conference, addressing McKenna's criticism of government picking favored industries. He added: "We haven't picked any of these businesses. We're picking innovation in general."
Inslee calls for tax incentives for startup, research-based companies.
The environmental group Washington Conservation Voters has raised more than $700,000 for this election. The group will devote the vast majority of it to an independent effort to help Inslee, executive director Brendon Cechovic said. That's vastly more than the group spent four years ago to help Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire.
"I've never seen the environmental community so united around a candidate and so politically organized," Cechovic said.
In Congress, Inslee was able to aid clean-energy producers in the form of grants and loans, including some that landed in the $787 billion Recovery Act or stimulus. Among the beneficiaries are makers of electric-car batteries.
Ross Macfarlane of environmental group Climate Solutions, which doesn't endorse candidates, called Inslee "one of the two or three members of Congress from any state who is most informed and most (accomplished) in developing specific policies to drive the clean economy in really every relevant sector."
Inslee's more comprehensive goal wasn't achieved: a cap on carbon emissions that would force companies to trade limited rights to emit greenhouse gases. Macfarlane called Inslee one of the chief architects of the cap-and-trade proposal that passed the House before foundering in the Senate.
Inslee says without a cap on emissions, industry won't have the incentive to adopt cleaner methods. McKenna opposes cap-and-trade, saying it would harm the economy by driving up energy prices.
But McKenna has often lined up with environmentalists on climate change in his role as the lawyer for Gregoire's Department of Ecology.
Gregoire, as attorney general, joined other states led by Massachusetts seeking to force the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants. McKenna joined other states in appealing to the Supreme Court, which decided the EPA had authority to act. Macfarlane said the decision was "very critical in terms of establishing national policy."
McKenna also joined other attorneys general in defending state standards for car emissions that were pioneered by California and adopted by Washington. Under the Obama administration, the tougher standards have become national.
Inslee's major foray into state policy came in 2006 when he championed a requirement for large utilities to generate 15 percent of their power through new kinds of renewable resources by 2020.
Voters approved the initiative, and the standards started phasing in this year.
Both candidates says it has been a success in stimulating new kinds of energy production. The law is one of the factors that has brought billions of dollars worth of investment into the state and made wind turbines a common feature of Eastern Washington wheat fields.
McKenna, though, wants significant changes.
He calls for relaxing rules that have placed utilities on the hook for buying renewable power or credits regardless of whether they need them.
Tacoma Public Utilities, for example, says it already has an adequate supply of power to meet demand – mostly hydropower, which is not considered a renewable resource in most cases.
"I think we have to be careful not to require our public utilities to buy power before they need it," McKenna said.
TPU says it at least wants more options for what it can do with the money it is required to spend.
Inslee said he wants to figure out a way to allow some utilities' money to be spent on local environmental goals rather than on energy credits. For example, he said, Tacoma could use it to subsidize replacement of wood stoves for those who can't afford a different source of heat. Wood smoke has helped drive Pierce County's air quality to levels that violate federal standards.
"The Port (of Tacoma) is going gangbusters, but there are issues about citing additional facilities here because of the air quality issues," Inslee said on a recent stop in the city. "So there's an economic motivation for trying to get cleaner methods of heating our homes."
McKenna has more ambitious goals. He also wants to expand the circumstances in which hydropower is considered renewable, to deal with the kind of seasonal gluts of power seen in the past two years. And he said the renewable standards should give credit for conserving energy, which is covered under a separate standard.
Macfarlane said the initiative is properly designed to separately encourage both new sources of power and more efficient use of current sources, and shouldn't allow utilities to meet standards solely through efficiency.
Todd Myers, a consultant advising McKenna on energy, said environmentalists' promotion of green energy at the expense of efficiency shows their goal is to help politically popular or trendy industries.
"When push comes to shove," Myers said, "politics trumps the environment. Image trumps the environment."
Washington, thanks to its dams, is ahead of many states in the shift to sources of power that don't produce heat-trapping gases and warm the earth. The state's last coal-fired power plant in Centralia is due to shut down by 2025.
But the dispute over traditional fossil fuels isn't going away. The next governor might have to wade into a dispute over coal exports to Asia.
Neither candidate has given full support or opposition to proposals to build coal-shipping facilities near Longview and Bellingham. Both say they should receive full environmental review from the federal government.
McKenna has said if they pass the review, Washington should accept the projects and their jobs because coal trains will be running through the state either way – on the way to British Columbia ports if not Washington's. Inslee disputes that it's a done deal that terminals will inevitably be built in the Northwest.

Why Is It So Hard to Not Sin?
Everyone on this earth sins their heads off at one point or another in their life. I remember that my hardest years were in middle school before I met Jesus.
But I still sin, and for some stupid reason, even though I know sinning is wrong, I still do it. I still lie. I still seek out sexual pleasure. I still hurt people. I still look away from God. And I still idolize things I should have very little to do with.
Every day I sin. Not always on purpose. But it's not like I stop myself. I am a sinner. I absolutely despise myself for it. But I do it anyways. Sin has integrated itself in me and my friends. I still try to follow Jesus, as I will always do. But I continuously look of my path to something else that is not good for me.
We all sin. And we will all be judged for our sins. So why do we do them? Why do we enjoy hurting people, and disobeying god? What happened to us? And why is it so hard for anyone to stop sinning? Why is it that we do these horrible nasty things all the time when we know that the consequence for it is not entering Heaven?Do you have an answer to these questions? How can we encourage those who are weighed down by the sin in their lives?

"Homes For Our Troops" gives Maryland soldier new house
(NECN/CNN: Mike Conneen, Frederick, Maryland) — Sergeant Adam Kisielewski was severely injured in Iraq, and now he has a wheel-chair accessible home in Frederick, Maryland, thanks to "Homes For Our Troops."
Patriot Guard riders escorted 27-year-old Kisielewski and his family to the unveiling of their new home.
After losing his left arm and right leg, and nearly his life, in a 2005 explosion in Fallujah, Iraq, Kisielewski returned home to a three-story house with narrow hallways forcing him to wear his prosthetic leg all day and making it more difficult on him to get around.
Now, he has a wheel-chair accessible home that features an open layout, wheel-chair friendly bathroom, push buttons on the doors, and cubbies for his prosthetic limbs.
The "Homes For Our Troops" charity calls it a labor of love with hundreds of volunteers and hundreds of thousands in donated supplies and furnishings.
The charity has built 100 homes for wounded warriors since 2004 and hopes to build 100 more.

Jaundice OverviewJaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membranes, and the whites of the eyes caused by increased amounts of bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice is a sign of an underlying disease process. Bilirubin is a by-product of the daily natural breakdown and destruction of red blood cells in the body. The hemoglobin molecule that is released into the blood by this process is split, with the heme portion undergoing a chemical conversion to bilirubin. Normally, the liver metabolizes and excretes the bilirubin in the form of bile. However, if there is a disruption in this normal metabolism and/or production of bilirubin, jaundice may result.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will fire the starting gun in the Liberal Democrats' Eastleigh by-election campaign later with a promise to press for higher taxes on the wealthy to ease the burden on "hard-working families".
In the Commons, Lib Dem chief whip Alistair Carmichael will move the writ formally triggering the contest to elect a successor to disgraced former Cabinet minister Chris Huhne.
Polling will take place in just three weeks' time, on February 28, in a battle which will pitch the Lib Dems into a head-to-head fight with their coalition partners, the Tories, who finished second in the 2010 general election.
Both parties are braced for a bruising contest, with Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps signalling that they intend to focus on Huhne's past after he pleaded guilty in court to dodging punishment for a speeding offence.
"The residents of Eastleigh have for a long time been sold a lie by their Lib Dem MP. That's why they'll welcome the opportunity to express the way they feel about it very soon," he said. "Conservatives will present the opportunity to start afresh with a hard-working local MP who gets on with looking after her constituents."
Lib Dems insisted their decision, as the sitting party in the constituency, to opt for a short contest reflected the high state of preparedness of the local party, even though they have yet to choose a candidate. "We are going to throw the kitchen sink at it. I'm pretty sure that the Conservatives will as well," one source said.
Mr Clegg is expected to travel to the Hampshire constituency to campaign as soon as he can clear the space in his diary. Officials would not be drawn on whether he would offer an apology for Huhne's conduct, but acknowledged that he would have to deal with the issue.
Officially, the Lib Dems want to make jobs and taxes the key campaign issues - drawing clear battlelines with the Conservatives.
Mr Clegg will use a speech at the Institute for Government in London to highlight the Lib Dems' commitment to a 1% annual "mansion tax" on properties worth over £2 million - a proposal the Tories have consistently rejected. He will say the Lib Dems want new council tax bands at the top end, again affecting properties worth more than £2 million.
The Lib Dems will select their candidate at a private hustings on Saturday. There is speculation that the Tory candidate will be Maria Hutchings, who fought the seat in 2010. Labour sources are hoping for a strong showing, but privately accept they have little chances of winning.
