With the election over, West Virginia's delegation in Washington has remained unchanged, and its members will be going back to Capitol Hill to fight the same battles on the energy front as before.
The first hurdle will be overcoming the "fiscal cliff," a Washington-imposed deadline where massive spending cuts and tax hikes are automatically enacted. Reaching a compromise before hitting the Dec. 31 midnight deadline is Washington's focus at the moment, but a number of other issues are sure to follow.
Climate change and energy issues have wide-ranging implications, particularly for energy-producing states such as West Virginia. Just last week, President Barack Obama reaffirmed his second term would attempt to address climate change created by carbon dioxide emitted by fossil fuel fired power plants.
"I am a firm believer that climate change is real and that it is impacted by human behavior and carbon emissions," Obama said. "As a consequence, I think we have an obligation to future generations to do something about it."
Whatever is done about carbon dioxide emissions will have a major impact on West Virginia. What does West Virginia's congressional delegation plan to bring to the table?
The State Journal e-mailed several energy-related questions to each of West Virginia's representatives in Washington. Each responded in part or full with the exception of Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va.
Climate change
A lot of officials at multiple levels of West Virginia government have been quick to deny climate change or to assert evidence that humans are not the primary cause of global warming.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said he believes "there is clear and compelling scientific evidence that man-made climate change is occurring." He said the nation has a responsibility to step up and meet the challenges that entails.
"That's why the United States needs to lead the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and showing the world that our country is still willing and able to meet big challenges. The consequences of failing to act are severe. Not only does man-made climate change hinder the entire global economy, including in the U.S., but we can expect elevated ocean levels, bizarre weather patterns, higher average temperatures, frequent damaging floods, and droughts, with life or death consequences and at an enormous cost."
Given the consequences, Rockefeller said, he urged acceptance of the science behind climate change.
"The science of climate change is real, and we need to accept that as a state and country," he said.
Sen. Joe Manchin also acknowledged the science of man-made climate change.
"With 7 billion people on the planet, there's no question that humans have an impact on our climate," Manchin said. "The real question is how we deal with it."
Manchin said that U.S. and world will be relying on coal for a long time. Because of that, he said, the country should chase the opportunity to make coal generation cleaner here and around the world.
Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., warned against using climate change science to institute regulatory policies.
"Using climate change or extreme weather events as an excuse for harsher domestic emissions restrictions will mean lost jobs in our state and severe disruptions to our economy, while providing little benefit for the environment," Rahall said.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., did not answer the question regarding West Virginia's role as a power producer and climate change policy. She did, however, say a tax on carbon dioxide emissions or other systems to limit emissions would harm West Virginia.
"There is no question that either a cap and trade bill or a carbon tax would be detrimental to West Virginia and our role as an energy producing state," Capito said. "A carbon tax would harm not only coal, but also to a lesser extent natural gas. Again, the role of such a tax would be to choose winners and losers in the energy economy. Not only would this cost many West Virginians their jobs, it would also increase energy and gas bills for every energy consumer."
There has been talk about a carbon tax, but Obama and others have indicated little political will to introduce such legislation anytime soon.
Rahall said he opposed the original cap-and-trade legislation because of overly restrictive emissions and said he remains "ardently opposed" to any attempt to reduce emissions without economically feasible means for compliance by coal-fired power plants.
Manchin, who fired a bullet through cap-and-trade legislation in a campaign ad, said cap-and-trade is not the answer.
"Not if I have anything to do with it," he said. "Cap-and-trade will not solve the climate challenges we have."
Rockefeller did not endorse a carbon tax, cap-or-trade legislation or any other specific policies in his response, although he did say clean coal has a role in the future of American energy.
"Americans put a man on the moon, cured polio and created the Internet," Rockefeller said. "I have no doubt our innovative spirit is more than capable of balancing our need for energy and jobs with the health of West Virginians and the environment. No challenge is too big for us to solve.
"We can reduce carbon dioxide emission levels from existing industries while minimizing the adverse economic impact and creating new jobs. And with all of us working together, I believe we will."
Diversifying coalfields
Central Appalachian coal is on the decline. The degree to which Obama's environmental policy has encouraged that has been a source of political contention, falling primarily along party lines, with geographic exceptions in coal and other fossil fuel-heavy states.
Given the industry's size, its decline raises a lot of questions about what can be done in the absence of the coal industry.
"Throughout our state's history, we have experienced boom and bust cycles with respect to coal," Rahall said. "So whether we are considering an individual mine or the broader industry as a whole, we understand that if we want to see our communities and our State flourish for the long-term, we must diversify our economy."
Rahall added that coal will be a key part of the nation's energy mix in the foreseeable future and he will continue to support that industry. He blamed House Republicans for blocking "job-creating investments" such as roads, bridges and higher education and technology training.
"We would be foolish not to expand our transportation network, build the modern infrastructure that helps to attract and grow business, educate our children for the jobs of the future, and diversify our economic base by building on such firm foundations as tourism and high- technology," Rahall said.
Manchin said while we should not "turn our backs" on coal or the workers who produce it, government does have a role in aiding people through industry changes. The government should not, he said, be accelerating changes to the coal industry with regulation that "shoots this country in the foot."
"When industries change, government has always helped ease that transformation," Manchin said. "In West Virginia, it's especially important to make sure workers get the skills they need to get the jobs that exist. All leaders – whether state, local and federal – have an important role in creating those good jobs."
Capito said diversification is important, but added that the country needs to take a look at overall friendliness toward business.
"It is important that we do everything we can to bring jobs and economic growth to West Virginia," Capito said. "… In addition to coal, natural gas offers the prospect of new jobs for West Virginians. Through a less burdensome regulatory process and a revised tax code that encourages economic growth, we should be working to grow jobs in all sectors of our economy."
Working together
With the general power ratio of Republicans to Democrats remains roughly the same as before the election, both parties are talking about compromise. Capito said she remain committed to protecting coal jobs but recognized a need to find commonalities.
"There is no question that the President will continue to advance his anti-coal agenda that directly impacts West Virginians, however with the President's party controlling the White House and the Senate, we have to work together and find common ground," she said.
That common ground can be difficult to find. Energy policy is often heavily drenched not only in ideological argument but also regional and financial interests. Rahall called energy one of the "toughest, most fractious issues" Congress faces, as well as one of its most important.
"And on top of dealing with the politics of energy, we also have to contend with the economics at a time when the government doesn't have money," Rahall said. "But it is imperative that America produce the energy it needs to fuel a strong economy, particularly through the use of coal, America's most abundant natural energy resource."
Manchin said he is looking forward to the future and is encouraged by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who will soon be in charge of the Senate Energy Committee. Manchin brought both to West Virginia recently for a series of tours of energy production sites.
He said he expects to see significant energy legislation passed in the coming session.
"I expect to see a lot more collaboration, especially with Ron and Lisa," Manchin said. "For the past few years, the House has able to pass legislation that recognizes the importance of coal. However, that legislation has not been bipartisan enough to pass the Senate. I am working hard to find a commonsense approach that can get bipartisan support in both chambers."
Distaste for coal
The end of the election may inspire collaboration, but it might not be a simple compromise. Capito said the current administration has shown "hostility to the fossil fuels that provide" baseload electricity in the U.S.
Manchin said the federal government "should be your partner" – opposite the way he and other West Virginia officials have perceived the EPA thus far.
"The fact is, everyone wants to breathe clean air and drink clean water," Manchin said. "We all want to move to cleaner energy sources, including renewables. Realistically, though, we need a baseload fuel source that can produce the power we need in this country. Baseload fuel sources have to be affordable, reliable and up to the task of providing the vast majority of our power. Those fuels are coal, natural gas and nuclear, and we need to rein in an EPA that is over-regulating Appalachian coal."
Rahall pointed to a statement by recently defeated Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, referring to an incident where Romney said a specific coal-fired power plant in Massachusetts "kills people." Rahall said Romney wouldn't have been any more friendly to coal in the White House.
"Regardless of who occupies the White House though, our country needs a long-term energy plan that makes appropriate uses our natural resources, frees us from the bonds of foreign oil, and creates jobs," Rahall said.
Rahall also decried the actions of the Obama administration's EPA.
"(Coal's) future is increasingly cloudy thanks to the overzealous, and in many instances, unconstitutional actions on the part of the EPA," Rahall said. "I have led the fight in Congress against their brazen tactics which are increasingly depriving coal miners of their livelihood and the country of vital energy resources."
The future
Capito said the most important thing going forward is finding a balance of jobs and natural resource use.
"I would like to see Congress pass a national energy policy that puts West Virginia coal and natural gas at the forefront of an energy independent America, while also finding ways to use renewables, nuclear and alternative sources of energy. When I say "all-of-the-above" energy plan, I mean it."
While coal, oil and gas are important, Rahall said he, too, thinks there should be government investment in energy research and development including carbon capture and sequestration.
"Renewable fuels still face a long road to be economically competitive. In both cases, we have a problem in which the privates-sector is unwilling to make major investments in these relatively new energy frontiers," Rahall said. "That is traditionally where government has come in, but where we have not done enough -- and with this budgetary challenge hanging over us, and Republicans wanting to cut spending, eliminating those barriers will be a tough challenge to tackle."
Manchin said we particularly should look at investing in more infrastructure at home versus abroad.
"Everything came to a head on this issue for me this summer, when I learned that U.S. taxpayers are funding a $94 million power project in Afghanistan – including burying power lines," Manchin said. "If we did it in Afghanistan, don't you think we can do it in America? We shouldn't spend a single dollar building infrastructure in Afghanistan when we have such urgent needs here at home. We have to get out of Afghanistan and start rebuilding this country – and that includes critical infrastructure."
Manchin said as Congress gets back to work, "everything must be on the table" to live up to the country's potential and reach energy independence.
"The bottom line is that as our nation transforms, we need to have the fuels that will meet our economic and energy needs," Manchin said. "We'll have to maximize the opportunities we have to harness our own domestic resources, as well as develop the resources we need for the future. As we deplete the resources we have, we will naturally work through a transition to the fuels of the future – while making sure that our hard workers can still earn a good living and manufacturing can experience a resurgence here in this country."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (43 votes).
In short: Lots of potential to be a great city halfIn full: There were some teething problems which can all be worked on for next year - traffic at Kassam pre-race, baggage etc. but around i think generally for an inaugural event it went well. There are certainly more scenic parts of Oxford than the ring-road and the BMW plant; maybe a circuit around the University parks or taking in a bit more of the Town & Gown Route. For me, the major issue was running on the pavements from Cowley, up High Street and along the Abingdon Road. When tourists/shoppers weren't absent mindedly stepping out in front of runners, fellow participants were taking a break and through no fault of there own there was no room to get around them. It was good, i enjoyed it. Pre-race the organisers were easy to contact and responded quickly to queries in a helpful and friendly manner. Would probably do it again.Date of review: September 25, 2011
In short: PoorIn full: This being their first attempt at this I can forgive the odd hiccup, i.e. The farce that was was the baggage drop (come on Oxford surely you have been to other races and have seen how it is done!!). Delayed start. No atmosphere at the start (once you found where it was!)Poor non supportive, disinterested marshalls, actually no I cant forgive this, the marshalling was crap!But the one thing, that above all else will stop me running this again was the appalling route. I felt I was either running along busy dual carriageways or forced to run in the gutter along dismal residential streets, when we did get into the "city" we ran past a couple of mildly interesting buildings dodging tourists before being directed down another side street to find ourselves running in another gutter in search of another dual carriageway to run along. If that is your idea of scenic running you can keep it, I wouldnt run that as a training run - crap!Date of review: September 25, 2011
In short: As a local I'm pleased to see a half marathon in my home town. Its the first for years and so a few teething problems were to be expected. A good course with potential for good times.In full: On the plus side:great scenery through the towngood support along the roadsplenty of drinks stationspasses my front doorcourse is predominantly flatstadium finishRoom for improvementmore atmosphere at the start and timing pensa racer timer at the end - no idea of the elapsed timeslots of pavement running and limited road closuresbaggage drop off not up to capacity requiredNone of these things detract from the pleasure of the first race in Oxford for years. They can all be sorted for future events.Not my all time favourite yet - but hoping they'll be challenging in the futureDate of review: September 25, 2011

The Ducati 125 TS has lasted the test of time. Not only has it become one of the finest Ducati bikes ever built, but it also became the base model for which lightweight motorcycles are being designed today.
The 1964 125 TS is powered by a 124 cc SOHC single engine that's mated to a four-speed transmission. That powertrain is capable of hitting a top speed of 70 mph with peak revs reaching 8,500 rpm.
Despite its less than imposing stature, the 125 TS has become one of the most popular classic Ducatis around. It's a consistent presence in a number of vintage shows and competitive events, including the prestigious Motogiro d'Italia.
The model that was auctioned off at the 2012 RM Auctions in Monaco was in sound original condition, and came with the bike's original Rosso Rubino paint, adding history and character to an all-time classic. Expected bid price for the 125 TS was about €3,000 - €4,000, which is around $3,800 - $5,200 based on current exchange rates. Actual selling price was $3,409.

I guess the title kind of gives away the story. But let me paint the picture.
I got stood up for a date a few weeks ago. Actually, I got canceled on at the last minute which, in the book of Janelle, is the same thing as being stood up. This in spite of an evening revolving around tickets to the Wizards vs. the Bulls which, so far as I thought, a guy wouldn't bail on. He might find a way to weasel out of a post-game dinner or sexless hang-out time, but seems like the ball action would've kept him reeled in until at least the second half. Unless it was a blowout.
But he proved me wrong and now I know, so I won't be walking around thinking I'm all better-than-being-stood-up-for-professional-sporting-events and whatnot.
Hello rejection, old friend. We meet again. I like what you've done with your hair.
The night wasn't a total loss. Far from it, in fact. My best friend—my eternal date—showed up in his stead and we had ourselves a good ol' time. Sure, I plucked and waxed and shaved and fluffed and stuffed and polished in preparation and went out into the wintry cold when I could've been home with my Hello Kitty comforter watching a Law & Order marathon (because isn't there allllways a Law & Marathon on?)
But it was disappointingly not the positive experience and open-hearted welcome I needed in order to walk confidently back into the world of unattached singledom. Especially since I'm still nursing hurt feelings from the breakup heard around the world. Or, at least, the stretch of 95 that used to connect where the ex lives in Delaware and I live in D.C., and now separates us.
That, in case you're keeping a tally, is two kicks to the curb in the matter of a few months. That's two more than a fragile gal like me is equipped to handle right now.
At some point, I imagine I'll sweep my little bits of pride into a pile and reconstruct another attempt to walk boldly back into the dating world. But I'm not ready. There, I admitted it. To myself and to y'all. I'm not ready, to put myself out there to be not good enough to go to a basketball game with or face the potential of another ridiculous mishap. And I'm not going to time myself either.
If the best way to get over one dude is to get hooked up with another one, that dude will be Elliott Stabler. He's one of the good ones.
Following a gut-wrenching breakup, how long should you wait before you start dating again?

Wow, this really hit home with me. I know how you feel :/ I've been there a quite few times myself.
There's no standard amount of time that's the "right" amount of time to wait. You just gotta wait til you know YOU'RE ready (for the possible good, as well as the possible bad).
Amen to that, bills.
Well said Bills...it really is hard out there to find someone who's valuable of your time. i feel like i've been single forever and sometimes i wonder if love is really out there for me. you've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. i pray that God will bless you all with a wonderful man who will go above and beyond to make you happy. every woman deserves that.
I'm sorry Janelle. That really sucks. Did he give a bs excuse? Try and look at it from a positive viewpoint -- he's clearly an asshole and you probably wouldn't want to spend time with a guy like that anyway. He did you a favor in the long run since you didn't waste any of your precious time with a bad person.

ahhh! dang darnit im not first
glad ive got firewall ip. filters out all those nasty ads.
Mobile web sites?
I never use them.
Admob have lots of adds in iPhone apps and I'm really not sure how representative these stats are.
Having said that, I used to use 7-800Mb/Month on WinMo and the monthe before last used 2.5Gb on my iPhone...
Look at how much Android has. That will only go up and eventually eclipse even the iPhone. Also expect the Windows Mobile share to drop
At&T network can't handle that much data usage. Open the door for Verizon.
ANYWAYS...firewall is a great app.
I'm #8.....Damn that's a big nummber....LOL
kinda sad that webOS is more than win mobile.... i mean palm only has the pre on this OS right? thats a real slap in the face for seattle...
Not surprising BB is dropping. Even with their new devices, trying to navigate even mobile sites is a chore with their built in browser.
The web experience is much better on an Android based phone or an iPhone. I would expect WebOS to increase too once the Pre moves on from Sprint to a major network. The Pixi (hate that name) is actually a very nice device. Palm just needs to make one for smartphone users with a better processor but same form factor and I could seriously see myself using it, not on Sprint but one of the big two carriers.
I am very interested to see what happens when Palm starts pushing more devices out to other carriers. I like what they are doing with WebOS.....I still love my iPhone though...
Im a noob to the Iphone but not to smart phones had the motoQ on sprint sucked and way over priced (Easy to hack, about it)switched to verizon and the storm again overpriced network and the try to dampen the unlimted data usage I.e slingmobile and other high data programs ( so they cant handle the traffic either) oh and did I mention more expensive than sprint. Had the Iphone for a half of day and all ready jailbroken and more. I was just kidding myself with the other phones.Plus waited for a price drop and updates and upgrades. Iphone there is no substitute!!! I'll get back about the service since it is only been a day.So Far so Good.

She was 67.
Children Ben, Pema and Annabel were with her, as were close friends.
"Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven year journey with breast cancer," Redgrave's children said in a statement Monday.
"She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives. Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time."
Her death comes a year after her niece Natasha Richardson died from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident and just a month after the death of her older brother, Corin Redgrave.
The youngest child of Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, Lynn Redgrave never quite managed the acclaim - or notoriety - of elder sibling Vanessa Redgrave, but received Oscar nominations for "Georgy Girl" and "Gods and Monsters," and Tony nominations for "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "Shakespeare for My Father" and "The Constant Wife."
In recent years, she also made appearances in the television shows "Ugly Betty," "Law & Order" and "Desperate Housewives."
"Vanessa was the one expected to be the great actress," Lynn Redgrave told The Associated Press in 1999.
"It was always, 'Corin's the brain, Vanessa the shining star, oh, and then there's Lynn."'
In the theater, Redgrave, with her striking dark red hair, often displayed a sunny, sweet and open personality, much like her ebullient offstage personality.
It worked well in such shows as "Black Comedy," her Broadway debut in 1972 and again two years later in "My Fat Friend," a comedy about an overweight young woman who sheds pounds to find romance.
Tall and blue-eyed like her sister, she was as open about her personal life as Vanessa has been about politics. In plays and in interviews, Lynn Redgrave confided about her family, her marriage and her health.
She acknowledged that she suffered from bulimia and served as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. With daughter Annabel Clark, she released a 2004 book about her fight with cancer, "Journal: A Mother and Daughter's Recovery From Breast Cancer."
Redgrave was born in London in 1943 and despite self-doubts pursued the family trade.
She studied at London's Central School of Speech and Drama and was not yet 20 when she debuted professionally on stage in a London production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream."
Like her siblings, she appeared in plays and in films, working under Noel Coward and Laurence Olivier as a member of the National Theater and under director/brother-in-law Tony Richardson in the 1963 screen hit "Tom Jones."
"Before I was born, my father was a movie star and a stage star," the actress told the AP in 1993.

MADISON, Wis (WSAU) -- Shopping for that perfect toy is not easy. A study from the Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group, known as WISPERG, says some toys should be avoided because they can be dangerous to children.
WISPERG's Bruce Speight says there are different types of hazards that adults need to protect children from. Toxic metals like lead, antimony, and cadmium were found again this year in new toys. He says "Standards for toxic chemicals remain too weak, and enforcement needs to be beefed up."
This year's study focused on four of common hazards. "Toxic hazards, choking hazards, magnetic toys, and excessively noisy toys. Unfortunately, we're finding all of these hazards on the shelves."
There are toy safety standards in place, but Speight says there's room for improvement. "In 2008 when we had a number of recalls, millions of toys were recalled with lead in paint. We did get some stronger standards for lead and phthalates, which is the toxic chemical used to soften PVC plastic, and some other standards were strengthened, but we still have work to do."
Speight says choking hazards continue to be one of the most common hazards and one of the biggest sources of toy related injuries. "The standards for small parts and for balls haven't changed for decades. We really need to update that because there are toys on the shelf that meet the letter of the law, but still pose a choking hazard."
There are 30 toys on their list of dangerous toys this year, but Speight says they are making progress. There are fewer recalls, and the work of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act passed after the massive 2008 toy recalls is helping to keep dangerous products off the market. He says toys must now be tested before they're sold. Still, he says one toy related death or injury is too many, and we have to remain vigilant and work to prevent injuries before they can occur.
Batteries can also be dangerous. Speight says small batteries can be a choking hazard.
Loud toys can be too loud. Speight says children often put noisy toys right next to their ears, and that can cause problems. He says one in five kids has hearing damage by the age of 12. Speight says parents should put the toy near their ears, and if it's too loud for them, it's too loud for the children, too.
The Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group's "Trouble in Toyland" report is available online.

This book was about 200 pages too long. While I enjoyed the biography part of the book, the author's tendency to "retell all of Salinger's stories" was both annoying and took away from the story of his life. If you want to read a synopsis of every story that Salinger had written, this is the book for you but that is not what I wanted to read. I wanted to get a better understanding of the author and what made him tick. The story is there - and once I decided to skip the author's need to describe all of Salinger's stories in great detail - some going on for 5-6 pages--yikes-- I definitely got a picture of the man whose writing I so admire.

District to present school budget July 25
Published on Thu, Jul 14, 2011 by
Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
The Blaine school district is two weeks away from unveiling its 2011/2012 budget to the school board as discussions continue over how roughly $200,000 less salary money from the state will affect the district's employees.
The Blaine school board will host a public hearing on the budget at its July 25 meeting. Business manager Amber Porter said the hearing will be the public's chance to learn more about next year's budget and have their questions answered.
On July 10, the district released a preliminary budget overview, which includes the projected beginning and ending balances of the district's five main funds. Porter said this overview provides the basics of what the district will spend and earn for the next year, though the numbers may change slightly by the time the school board approves the budget at its August 22 meeting.
For the general fund, through which most expenses are paid, the district plans to bring in about $20.4 million in the upcoming school year and spend about $21 million. The projected beginning general fund balance will make up the roughly $1.5 million difference, Porter explained.
These numbers come after district officials waited weeks for the state legislature to finalize its 2011/2013 biennium budget, which held statewide cuts to education, including about $200,000 less for salaries for Blaine teachers.
District superintendent Ron Spanjer said recent negotiations with the Blaine Education Association (BEA), the union that represents Blaine's teachers, produced an agreement that rescinded nine of the 10 reduction in force (RIF) notices to the district's certificated staff, which includes counselors and teachers. The 10th notice was for a currently unfilled halftime kindergarten teacher position that could be staffed in fall if kindergarten enrollment is high enough, Spanjer said.
Under the agreement, Blaine's teachers will lose two days worth of salary for the upcoming school year. The district made a similar agreement with Blaine's principals in which they will lose two-and-one-half days worth of salary. Both of these agreements expire on August 31, 2012.
Spanjer said negotiations are ongoing with the Service Employees International Union, which represents the district's service workers. Earlier this year, the district issued 14 RIF notices for classified staff.
District officials began budget discussions in April through public forums that sought to gather input on budget items the district should prioritize. After gleaning suggestions, district staff developed a list of $1.69 million in budget adjustments for the 2011/2012 school year.
As part of these adjustments, the district issued the 25 reduction RIF notices to certificated staff and classified staff.
The notices also included one administrative position.

Poor impulse control may be pre-wired in some teenagers, suggests a new study. Researchers have identified brain networks that are linked to impulse control and drug addiction, which may exist even before someone is exposed to alcohol or drugs.
Researchers at the University of Vermont performed a brain imaging study that included almost 1,900 14-year-olds, ABC News reports. They used a functional MRI, which permitted them to see how different parts of the brain work together. The teens were asked to perform repetitive tasks, and then were asked to stop mid-task, while the researchers measured their ability to do so. People who abuse drugs or alcohol tend to perform poorly on this test, the news report notes.
The study identified teens who had previously been exposed to alcohol, illicit drugs or nicotine, and could recognize specific brain patterns linked with early experimentation with these substances. Teens who had poor impulse control, but did not have a history of substance abuse, had similar brain images to those teens who already had used these substances.
Lead researcher Dr. Robert Whelan said the findings suggest it may be possible to identify teens at risk of substance abuse, before they start.
The study also included teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The researchers found the brain networks of teens with ADHD were different than the ones associated with early substance abuse. People with ADHD are at increased risk of substance abuse and alcoholism, according to ABC News.
The findings are published in Nature Neuroscience.

Although the use of recombinases for manipulation of genomic sequences is well established, only a few recombinases have been conclusively demonstrated to work orthogonally. That is, as non-cross-reacting recombinases, they do not cause unpredictable recombination events.
Researchers at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have developed novel nucleic acid constructs containing newly-matched orthogonal site selective recombinases. The JBEI invention removes the ability of a cell to access certain genes and enables the concurrent use of multiple recombinases. This system enables multiple genes to be turned on or off at different states of an organism's lifecycle, which has both research and industrial applications. It offers improved reliability over other approaches by ensuring that circuits proceed to completion rather than equilibrating.
Potentially, these devices could be used to construct an expression system with low load on the cell, a very low level of basal expression and an extremely high level of expression after induction. This could be useful in industry and medicine where a growth phase and a production/manipulation phase need to be kept distinct. Using this sort of toggle, many changes can be made at once to cell physiology.

The Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI, www.jbei.org) is a scientific partnership led by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and including the Sandia National Laboratories, the University of California campuses of Berkeley and Davis, the Carnegie Institution for Science and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Lessons From An Alpine Olympian: Be Present And Others Will Respond
Don't worry, this advice still works at sea level.
Not many people can say their office is a mountain. Then again, not many people can say they're a two-time Olympian alpine skier, either.
Kaylin Richardson can say both of those things, and attributes her success to a simple principle: staying present.
"If you're not present people can tell," she says. "You might not realize it but if your mind is somewhere else when you're talking with someone they'll know--you're not connecting with them."
Of course, living in the moment doesn't just apply to racing down a mountain face at blistering speeds: taking a zen-like approach in business can pay dividends.
"In this day and age we're bombarded with stimulus all the time--being present is something that resonates and people respond to that."

MILWAUKEE (WSAU-TSN) - Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley homered to back eight strong innings from Roberto Hernandez, as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-1, on Wednesday.
Hernandez (4-8) gave up one run on three hits with three strikeouts and two walks for the Phillies, who have won the first three contests of this four- game series.
Lyle Overbay drove in the lone run for the Brewers, who have lost four in a row. Kyle Lohse (9-4) allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out eight over eight innings.
Utley's two-out homer in the first made it 1-0 Philadelphia.
The Brewers tied things up in the second. Aramis Ramirez reached on an infield single, moved to second on Khris Davis' groundout and raced home on Overbay's single to center.
Milwaukee left a runner on third in the fifth. Logan Schafer walked, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and moved to third when Carlos Gomez flied out to right. But Jean Segura grounded out to end the inning.
The Phillies grabbed a 3-1 lead on Rollins' two-run homer in the sixth. Cameron Rupp led off with a single and crossed the plate on Rollins' two-out blast to right.
Philadelphia tacked on another run in the seventh. Marlon Byrd and Cody Asche singled to put men on first and second. Byrd scored on Rupp's two-out single to center.
Hernandez retired the final 12 batters he faced, then Jonathan Papelbon tossed a perfect ninth to pick up his 22nd save of the season.

Are the Prospects of Midstream LPs Starting to Crumble?
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Miners used to use canaries as an early warning system for poisonous gases. Essentially, if there was something in the air that might kill a human, it would likely kill the bird first. This is where the saying "canary in the coal mine" comes from. Is ONEOK Partners (NYSE: OKS) plan to drop a pipeline project a canary in the midstream LP "coal mine?"
Infrastructure Problems
The United States has an infrastructure problem across many industries. Roads, electric lines, and pipelines are but a few examples. The money to upgrade the first two hasn't been easy to get, but the later of that group has actually seen a great deal of investment in the last few years. Indeed, the demand for new pipeline assets has been backed by the private money to pay for those assets.
New pipelines, expansions of existing mid-stream assets, and the purchase and sale of such businesses between companies have led to a boom in the mid-stream Limited Partnership space. Not only have existing companies been able to grow aggressively, but new entrants have had plenty of room to join the game. So long as the demand for pipelines remains strong, the risk of overbuilding is likely to be low.
Eventually Every Rally Ends
However, overbuilding will likely be a problem at some point. Such overbuilding is rampant in just about every hard asset related business. For example, real estate investment trusts (REIT) often have to deal with oversupply born of too many new buildings of a particular property type. One of the reasons that overbuilding can be so damaging is the long lead times for such projects, since a building can take years to go from drawing board to built. Office, hotel, and apartment building supply is a frequent topic for REIT management teams to discuss.
The same is true of mid-stream assets, but how do you tell before it's too late in this recently hot sector? One clear sign will be when a large number of new pipelines are built without firm commitments from customers. Over the last few years, pipeline companies like industry giants Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMP) and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) have generally only undertaken projects that customers have agreed to use in advance of the construction. For shareholders such asset growth is wonderful, it's a virtual guarantee for increased revenue and distributions.
When customers no longer line up to use new capacity, however, the industry will have a material problem on its hands. But when it has become that obvious, it may be too late. Indeed, markets will react quickly and infrastructure LPs will likely have fallen by then. What you need to look for is a canary.
So while oversupply doesn't seem to be an issue right now, ONEOK Partners' move to cancel a nearly $2 billion project because there was a lack of demand could be an early warning sign. The Bakken Crude Express Pipeline was to transport 200,000 barrels a day of crude oil from the Williston Basin to Cushing, Oklahoma. In this situation, it seems that the ability to transport oil via trains has been sited as the reason for lack of demand. Still, it shows that there are clearly limits to demand and that LPs may be reaching those limits.
It's Complicated
That said, there are complicated dynamics involved in this decision. For example, the pipeline was to end in Cushing. Cushing is already facing a glut of oil and, as a result, low sales prices. Producers certainly don't want to move more oil to a location where they will get low returns. So where a pipeline is heading is important in the demand equation. It is also nice to see that ONEOK canceled the project instead of pushing ahead without firm commitments. This will likely spare unit holders a great deal of financial pain.
Is the Canary Dead or Not?
The quick answer is that the canary probably isn't dead yet. However, this is a clear indication that location matters materially more now than it did a few years ago. So management teams need to pay particular attention to market needs when examining new projects.
Some Companies with Good Records
The aforementioned industry giants Kinder Morgan and Enterprise both have massive and diverse asset basses and great histories of growth. Although Enterprise is probably at bit pricey with a yield just a little above 5%, Kinder's 6% plus yield is probably reasonable.
Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE: ETP) is another large player worth looking at. Its units have been held back by two main factors. First, a stagnant distribution has left some wondering about the safety of the disbursement and management's focus on company growth over unit holder returns. Second, a massive acquisition has only recently been completed and could pose material integration risks. That said, the growth projects undertaken in recent years are expected to start baring fruit soon, which should lead to a resumption of distribution growth. Moreover, the integration of the newly acquired Sonoco Logistics, has yet to pose a problem. Energy Transfer should probably be priced in line with Kinder.
ONEOK, for its part, with a sub 5% dividend yield is probably best avoided for now.

Actress Jane Lynch stars in TV's 'Glee' and has personal experience with the burden of student-loan debt.
The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is partnering with a seemingly unlikely public figure to attack a problem that most college students and their families face: student loan debt.
The "Don't Major in Debt Campaign" was something NYPIRG — who worked with the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) and The Field (Social), a boutique media agency — had been discussing for awhile.
According to Rebecca Weber, executive director of NYPIRG, the original idea for the project came from the office of New York's attorney general.
The result was the National College Finance Center Website.
NYPIRG's wanted a familiar, relatable public face for the venture, someone who knew – through first-hand experience – what a burden paying for college can be.
"It's so very, very important to work with a well known figure who had wide appeal," said Weber.
After exploring the many possibilities, Weber and her team started communicating with Jane Lynch, the award-winning actress most noted for her portrayal of Sue Sylvester: the snarky, William McKinley High School cheerleading squad coach on Glee.
"She was on the larger list, and as we zeroed in and started communicating with different well known people, her experiences in terms of family members and her level of awareness about the problem was really quite pronounced," said Weber.
In a press release, Lynch explains her involvement: "I have several people in my own family, graduating nieces and nephews, both in school or just out of school, and they all have a mountain of debt," she said. "In fact, one of them is now dealing with the collection calls because they are unable to pay off their student loan. They didn't read the fine print. I'm doing this because I don't want other kids to be saddled with that kind of debt."
The site's main goals are to provide the best resources and information for "a higher education finance plan," guiding students to take advantage of any available grants and scholarships, minimizing student debt and understanding the differences and implications of student loans.
Families are encouraged to find "free money," by first looking at scholarships and grants before even thinking about borrowing, explained Weber.
"My personal role at the launch itself was to represent the idea that higher education should be accessible and affordable, and to really drive the message home that this website is a safe place to explore your options for financing college education," said Weber, who has been with NYPIRG for 22 years.
The NYPIRG-Lynch relationship "was really like a match made in heaven," said Weber.
"The truth of the matter is, it's been such a pleasure working with my colleagues and most importantly NYPIRG's student base to put this together. A lot of people worked really hard, and will continue to work hard to get the word out," she said.
Weber most looks forward to attracting people who really need the information that the website provides, whether it is for students, prospective students or parents.
"Getting the word out there – that's what will give me a tremendous sense of satisfaction."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am very vested in special education and being that Brentwood has just decided to open the school to this concept, they have a lot to work on. They need special day classes and not intergrate students with extreme behavoiral issues in general education classes.
Brentwood Elementary has such a good sense of community and 'family first' about it. Whenever I walk onto campus, I feel like I'm home! The administration, teachers, & students are polite and welcoming. Our fundraisers are fun and we invite the entire community to come participate in our yearly carnival. We love Brentwood Elementary and it will be a sad day when we have to move on.
Brentwood School has been an awesome experience for my girls. Starting in kinder with Joanie Friedmen, going all the up to Kristen Benko in 5th grade. ALL the teachers at this school have amazing qualities. The care for the kids mental health all the way through studies has been awesome. Margo Olson has been a wonderful leader for this school. I have been very blessed to have these wonderful teachers for my girls.
We moved to Brentwood this year and are thrilled with this school. My 3rd garde son's teacher ( Mrs. Mills) is deserving of much praise. She has made learning so interesting and fun in my sons eyes. She has a great attitude regarding testing and helps these children meet state standards in a way that is positive and not over bearing . She really has a grasp on teaching children in a way where she gets a very positive response. We are so impressed with Mrs Mills and the school overall. The level od parental involvement is fantastic. We will be attending our second funraiser tonight in the last week. This is so important now with the crisis our public schools Go Brentwood Bull Dogs- We Love you!!!!!
I love Brentwood Elementary. I have had such great luck with wonderful teachers for my daughter. I love all of the activities that they offer the kids - a real learning environment.
Extremely impressed by the school specially the principal Mrs. Olson. She is so caring and very focused to improve the standards of the students and the school. She works hard to make sure the students are challenged and not just come to the school. Teachers like Stacey Hernandez, Mrs. McNamara and others are outstanding. Even the staff supporting the school are excellent. I am sure this will shine in the future.
The teachers and staff at Brentwood Elementary are awsome! I have 3 children, who have all attend this school, all 3 have have enjoyed everyday of school! The teachers are warm and welcoming and always willing to go the extra mile to help our children succeed. -The Gasca Family
The teachers,and all the staff are the best. The school offers excellent programs for kids in need of that little extra push.They allso include parents to get involved with evening and after school programs.I have to say that they keep us [parents] very informed of up-coming events and activities.Academicly my children have done well do to the excellent teachers and programs that they have offered.Over-all its an great school for any kid.
Great school. Wonderful teaching staff, and administration. There are a few schools in this town, but this one has above all the best overall staff. I love it.. And will never change.
We moved here 1 year ago and couldn't be happier with this school. Great teachers!
We just moved into the state of CA and I have 3 children enrolled at Krey. The principal at this school seems very interested in maintaining and improving the safety, however, compared to the state we just moved from, GA, there is a lot of room for improvement in school safety. The teachers seem motivated and very good at their jobs. My only concerns would be the safety and the level where CA is educating their children vs. where we left off in GA, surprisingly, GA seems to be much more rigorous and more well-rounded. (I am very happy with Krey vs. other schools in this area)

Bit.ly Is Eating Other URL Shorteners for Breakfast [Stats]
Last month, Bit.ly surpassed TinyURL to become the Web's most popular URL shortener. This month, the story is about separating from the pack. Ever since Twitter made Bit.ly its default shortener, the 5 character domain's growth has skyrocketed. According to the most recent U.S. traffic stats from Compete, Bit.ly's unique visitors jumped by over 12% in September, while TinyURL, Tr.im, and its other competitors aren't even close.

Young energy ready to take Roskilde Festival 2013
Today's music acts may not be that old. Yet, their music is imbued with a confidence, weight and maturity you would associate with much older acts.
ANGEL HAZE (US) is one of the new strong women of hip hop. The energetic amazon caused a stir with her version of Eminem's "Cleaning Out My Closet" in which she raps about a sexual assault. "I run New York," is the chorus from her signature song. We bet she includes Roskilde when she drops by.
THE BOTS (US) master punk rock'n'roll, aiming for both the melodies and the carnal groove. As a matter of course, they find an unprecedented point on the colour scheme of retro rock. Brothers Mikaiah and Anaiah Lei have fine-tuned their skills on the electric guitar and the drums since childhood – and they released their first album when they were 15 and 12, respectively.
KING KRULE (UK) might end up as the melancholic voice of his generation. He serves up his depressive songs in a melodic blend of blues, jazz and reverb-wrapped pop. Previous projects from the East London troubadour also indicate a familiarity with dubstep and hip hop. It is hopefully only in the young Brit's lyrics that his future looks sooty and black.

SPOKANE-- A lineman working on a transmission tower near the Idaho-Montana boarder, was killed after falling over one hundred feet Thursday
Officials said around 11 a.m., a Bonneville Power Administration lineman, Matt Karstetter, fell from a transmission tower while working on a spacer replacement project.
All work at the site was suspended after the incident.
There were no other injuries at the scene. An investigation is underway. There are no additional details at this time.
"We are in mourning. I and many others have a deep sense of loss of a member of our BPA family," BPA Administrator Steve Wright said. "Our hearts reach out to Matt's coworkers, family and friends."
Karstetter joined BPA in June 2004. He worked on the Kalispell transmission line maintenance crew until graduating from the apprentice program in 2008. Most recently, Matt worked as a journeyman on the Bell transmission line crew in Spokane.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen D-N.H. explained today during the Senate Armed Services vote today that she wished former Sen. Chuck Hagel had been "feistier" during his hearing.
"I think while I appreciate the concerns that have been raised about Senator Hagel, and I certainly would like to have seen him be much more . . . much feistier at his hearing," Shaheen said.

After teasing fans online with promises of new music, Justin Timberlake has delivered .
His new single "TKO," from The 20/20 Experience -- 2 of 2 , is now out, and it sounds more like a traditional JT/ Timbaland track than, say, "Mirrors" does. It also sounds very different from the album's first single, "Take Back the Night," which is strongly influenced by Michael Jackson .
In fact, "TKO" seems to back up JT's description of 2 of 2 as a much darker album than the first part. It uses a boxing metaphor -- TKO, or "technical knockout" -- to describe being done wrong by a woman. "I'm out for the count/Yeah, girl you knock me out/with a TKO," sings Justin.
The 20/20 Experience --
2 Of 2
arrives September 30.

Smallest Full Support Heart Assist Device on Trial at Northwestern Memorial
Subscribe to our RSS feed
Northwestern Memorial surgeons are fist in Illinois to trial device
Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is the first center in Illinois and among the first in the country to implant a new experimental left ventricular assist device (LVAD) into subjects with advanced heart failure, a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body's organs. The HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System (HeartWare® System) features the HVAD™ Pump, the smallest LVAD to provide full cardiac support currently under investigation in the United States. The HeartWare® System is intended as a bridge to heart transplantation. Northwestern Memorial surgeons have implanted four subjects with the device, and are the first in the country to transplant a subject as part of this trial.
Edwin McGee Jr., MD, the principal investigator of the trial, cardiac surgeon and the surgical director of Heart Transplantation and Mechanical Assistance at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, lead the team that implanted the four subjects. The national clinical trial hopes to enroll up to 150 subjects. Twenty-two subjects have been enrolled in the U.S to date.
"The small size and unique configuration of this particular model allows us to place it adjacent to the ventricle itself, as opposed to implanting the device in the abdominal wall," commented Dr. McGee. "This is a major step forward, as it is intended to reduce the potential risks associated with a more extensive surgery such as bleeding and infections. We are also able to cast a wider net of potential subjects and can include more women in the trials since the device is significantly smaller than previous models."
The device is a tiny centrifugal blood pump, with a levitating impeller that spins to continuously move blood from the heart to the rest of the body. A driveline cable attaches to the pump and connects to a portable controller, powered by a pair of battery packs, worn by the subject.
According to the American Heart Association, 4.9 million patients in the United States suffer from heart failure, with an additional 550,000 diagnosed each year. The National Institutes of Health estimates that in the US, approximately 100,000 patients per year could benefit from an LVAD.
"Heart failure is a growing epidemic in this country and we hope that this trial will lead to better outcomes and fewer complications for patients with severe heart failure," said Dr. McGee. This LVAD is the next step in the evolution of heart assist devices, which, in the future, could result in a fully-implantable model.
For more information on the HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System , interested participants and clinicians may contact Byron Yip at 312-695-3270 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Celebrity Star Jones is good friends Rosaline Lee's sister. They met years ago while she was in Maryland. They happened to be sorority sisters. Now that Lee has been murdered, Jones is taking an active role in the search for the killer."People talk," said Robin Lane, Lee's sister.All that talk, however, has yet to lead to Lee's killer. Fishermen discovered the mother's body in a Pontiac lake on May 26.Oakland County Sheriff's deputies say Lee was strangled. Her car was dumped less than a mile from where her body was found."It's already hard to actually move forward and to live day to day," Lane said. "We just want to know who did it."Now the family is getting some major help from Jones."Since Star and my sister Rochelle are close friends, she kind of heard about it, and she took it upon herself to push forward and try to help us," Lane said.Jones contacted Nancy Grace. She and Lee's sister appeared on the show Tuesday night hoping to drum up strong tips that will lead investigators to the killer."I said to my girlfriend we're going to find out what happened, and I'm going to use every public platform that I have to get my friends in the media to pay attention to your sister and your sister's murder," Jones said on Grace's show."We are very grateful for Star Jones and for her help in reaching out and having other people reach out," Lane said. "If you know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody, just please come forward. That's all we're asking."If you know anything about who killed Rosaline Lee, give the Oakland County Sheriff's Office a call.

Reviews for Apple-Cinnamon Shortcakes
Sort By :
Very Good! The only change we made was to double the filling/apple mixture. Great dessert for a cool fall day! The shortcakes are very tender and wonderful served warm.
So yummy thank you !!!!!!
loved it!
This is the kind of shortcake we made for all fruit, nix the cinnamon for, say, strawberry shortcake. I like it a lot better than the sponge cake type, I like the added crunch. When the filling is very hot, pour a little milk or cream over it, or top with whipped cream. Very good!
I agree with Mortinka. I want to know what to expect when I make a recipe not hear about how I shouldn't be making it because it's unhealthy or that "it sounds good" because that's why I plan on making it. Enough ranting, I did make this and it was average. The shortcakes cooked up fine, I got nine using 1/4 c. to measure. I used Braeburn apples and they took FOREVER to soften and were sliced very thinly. I finally gave up and threw a lid on the pan and steamed them. Flavor was good but nothing overly special.

I don't think I've had any big shift changes in my tastes in last 5 years (15 years would be different story). I think in my buying/appreciation there have been changes:
Champagne- I've liked for a long time, and always bought. 10 years ago I began to appreciate RM labels, and thought that was the way. Over last 5 years I've reappreciated grand marques, while expanding my appreciation of the RMs. Basically, drink more Champagne (and top quality Loire petillant, cava, etc).
"Natural" wines- don't love them all, some are more interesting than tasty,others mindblowly good
Orange wines- ditto
Price changes (and MAYBE palate changes ) mean more Beaujolais and Loire reds, more whites overall.
I care even more about food meets wine.
