Report Highlights Rapid Growth and Significant Future Opportunity
for California's Clean Transportation Technology Industry
State's Policies Creating Jobs and Attracting Companies
(Pasadena, CA)-- A new CALSTART report indicates that California's climate and energy policies are not only helping to protect the environment and improve air quality, but are also helping to accelerate growth of the clean transportation technology industry in the state.
The report, "California's Clean Transportation Technology Industry: Time to Shift into High Gear," profiles the development of a burgeoning manufacturing sector that is producing zero- and near-zero emission light, medium and heavy duty vehicles, as well as clean fuels, engines, vehicle components, and new mobility services.
"This report shows that California's forward-looking air quality, climate, and energy policies – like AB 32 and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard – along with incentive funding are creating jobs and making California a leader in the fast growing global clean transportation technology industry," said CALSTART President and CEO John Boesel. "What we are finally seeing is a tremendous synergy between the state's policies, its culture of innovation, and its human capital. These factors together over the past five to seven years have created nearly 20,000 new high quality jobs in the state," Boesel said.
Among many other signs of recent progress, the report notes that since the great recession, California has become home to the first successful new US car manufacturing since the end of World War II; California was selected as the first state to host a vehicle production plant owned by a Chinese company; and a South Carolina firm has effectively moved its headquarters to California and is in the process of building an electric bus manufacturing plant because of the opportunities in the state.
The report inventories over 300 companies that are creating high quality jobs, building new manufacturing facilities, and making major investments in California. Examined in detail are three regions, the South Coast, San Joaquin Valley, and Silicon Valley.
Executives profiled in the report see enormous potential for industry growth in California. They predict that thousands of additional high-quality jobs will be added to the industry's current base of over 20,000 as the industry ramps up manufacturing between now and 2030.
"The clean transportation technology industry is growing faster in California than in any other state. What is especially exciting is that the industry is adding new jobs in communities such as Pixley, Perris, Lathrop, and Riverside," said Boesel.
The report notes that while California is the third largest oil producing state in the nation, it imports more than half of the oil it consumes. On a comparative basis, California is more dependent on foreign oil than is the nation as a whole.
"By growing the clean transportation technology industry, over the next decade we could eliminate the state's dependence on foreign oil and keep 50 percent of our transportation energy dollars in state. Growing this industry represents a win-win and an enormous economic opportunity for the State of California," Boesel said.
According to the report, the chief threat to the future growth of the clean transportation industry is the possibility of a change in policy or direction. The report concludes that establishing long-term goals and a commitment to achieving the state's air quality and climate goals will continue to drive investment, innovation, and job growth in the state. The report recommends codifying the state's 2050 climate target, setting 2030 goals for the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and continuing the successful greenhouse gas AB 32 cap and trade program.

Lung Cancer Stages
My Father-in-law was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Lung cancer. Could you tell me what that means?
Mitchell Machtay, MD, Radiation Oncologist, responds:
The "stage" of a cancer indicates how advanced someone's cancer is. Early stage means that the cancer is relatively small and well confined, while very advanced stage cancer generally means that it has spread throughout the body. Cancer experts have developed "staging systems" for most of the major types of cancer. These classification systems can be very complex and are perhaps overemphasized, but they provide physicians with a form of "medical shorthand" to describe the anatomy and extent of a patient's cancer. Stage is one factor that can be used to estimate prognosis, and it often determines treatment.
In lung cancer, the staging system consists of 4 major categories or stage groupings (Stages I through IV) The 4 major Stage categories of lung cancer are as follows:
- Stage I: The lung cancer (the primary tumor) is confined to one portion of one lung, with no evidence of spread to nearby lymph nodes (small glands within or nearby the lung) nor anywhere else in the body.
- Stage II: Spread to nearby (hilar) lymph nodes has occurred, but the lung cancer (primary tumor) itself is still "relatively" limited and has not spread anywhere else in the body.
- Stage III: The primary tumor has grown outside of the lung into adjacent organs in the chest (such as the heart, major arteries, windpipe, or esophagus), or it has spread to "mediastinal" and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes – small glands that are located in between the two lungs and in the lowest part of the neck. There is still no distant spread throughout the body.
- Stage IV: Spread of the cancer to distant parts of the body, such as the opposite lung, the brain, the bones and/or the liver.
Prognosis is best for Stage I. Stage II is also considered to be relatively early lung cancer. Unfortunately, most lung cancer patients are not diagnosed until the cancer has already reached Stage III or IV. The dramatic difference in prognosis between Stage I and stages III/IV has influenced some physicians to screen people who are thought to be at high risk for lung cancer. The hope is that by using screening tests (such as low-dose chest CT scans), lung cancers can be detected at the earliest possible stage when cure is most likely. In some patients, the stage of their cancer is immediately obvious, just based on a 10-minute physical examination. However, in many situations, it is very difficult to determine the correct staging, and this could require complex scans and/or exploratory surgery. For example, many lung cancers that were thought to be stage I based on CT scans and other tests turn out to have stage II or even III disease after surgery is completed. "Under staging" and "over staging" are common problems in oncology and reflect the limitations of current technology.
Proper staging is an important part of caring for a patient with lung cancer. However, stage should absolutely not be the only factor used to determine a treatment plan and to assess prognosis. Many patients with Stage IV disease are excellent candidates for aggressive therapies that can improve both survival time and quality of life. Conversely, some patients with Stage I disease have a very short life expectancy regardless of treatment, often due to conditions other than their lung cancer. Extremely important factors in addition to stage to consider include:
- The cancer histology (the appearance of the tumor under the microscope).
- The patient's general health and strength.
- The patient's nutritional status, particularly extent of weight loss.
- The exact anatomic location(s) of the cancerous tumor(s).
Above all, the most important factor in deciding on a treatment plan should be the patient and his or her family's goals and desires. As said by Abraham Lincoln, "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

Students Return to Renovated Residence Halls; Other Work Continues
Columbia International University upperclassmen are returning to Columbia for a new semester, and for many of them, a residence hall that doesn't quite look like it did when they left in May.
Construction crews were busy over the summer. There was a "total makeover" of West Residence Hall, creating an atmosphere a little more like home. Each remodeled room resembles work recently performed in Memorial and East Residence Halls, and features new amenities such as a microwave, fridge, and movable furniture. Walker, Founders, and Petty residence halls received new furniture, plus a "face-lift" with new roofs, windows and other exterior improvements.
Development of the new athletic fields continued over the summer as the CIU Rams gear up for the inauguration of intercollegiate athletics one year from now. Baseball, softball and soccer field are taking shape. The plan includes a central press box, concessions stand, restrooms and scoreboard.
Meanwhile, renovations to the G. Allen Fleece Library continue. The library was heavily damaged by fire in May 2010. Books that were shipped away for cleaning are back on the shelves, as crews continue work on a new entrance. CIU officials project that the library will be ready for use by mid-October.

Being new to houseboating, our list of needs and wants is long and growing every day. I can't confirm that Santa reads this forum, but thought it might be fun to see what people are wishing for.
For starters, we need a LOT more mooring line than we have now. I also am asking for new Perko LED courtesy lights to replace the old cracked incandescent ones we have now. I hope to go with a lot more LEDs as time and money allow.
Who's next?

DESIGNER SQUEEZE: Not everyone planning to show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's tents in Bryant Park in New York will find a home there come September. In a letter obtained by WWD, Fern Mallis, IMG Fashion's senior vice president, is notifying those designers who didn't make the cut this season. "While we would have loved to present your collection in the tents this season, we have had an overwhelming number of requests for time slots and spaces," Mallis said in the letter, which is going out today. Also, the event's footprint is smaller this season and will lose one venue to reduce the impact on the park.
"With only three venues this season, and a holiday which has completely confused and restricted the schedule, we unfortunately will only be able to accommodate approximately 60 shows as opposed to last season's 80-plus shows," Mallis said.
The list of those not making the cut could not be learned, but the letter is sure to send designers into a frenzy since they are now faced with having to find a new venue for their runway presentations. IMG Fashion and the Bryant Park Corp. continue to negotiate to find a solution for the future of New York Fashion Week in the park. "Please give us another try next season (Feb. 1-8) when we hope we can be more flexible and accommodating," Mallis concluded in the letter.
SHOE IN: The fashion flock's favorite European shoe store has finally landed Stateside. Iris — the Italian manufacturer of footwear for John Galliano, Chloé, Viktor & Rolf, Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith — feted its new Washington Street outpost Tuesday night. "Not even the stores on Fifth Avenue carry these," said Niccolò Carpani Glisenti, Iris U.S. president, proudly pointing to the Paul Smith collection. "So many people love shoes," said Olivia Chantecaille, who hosted the party on behalf of Young Friends of Save Venice. Indeed, the minimalist space, all white walls and silver couches, was packed with throngs of people ogling the newest fall styles.
PAX THE POSTER BOY: Is attaching a celebrity name to your brand not enough these days? Go for their kids. That seems to be the strategy of Diesel, which sent out a release on Wednesday, via its publicists at Starworks, alerting the media that Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt "has worn a Diesel kid's jacket from spring-summer '07 on his way to school in Prague." Four paparazzi shots of the tyke wearing said jacket, with dad Brad Pitt and siblings Maddox and Zahara in tow, accompanied the text.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. decided to test out their acting chops, and do a little flirting in public, for a new country music video that was released this week.
NASCAR's power couple has starring roles for Colt Ford's new single, "Drivin' Around Song."
In the video, Patrick and Ford are waiting for Stenhouse, playing an auto repair man, to fix their broken-down vehicle. Patrick flirts with Stenhouse and then steals a set of keys to an all-terrain vehicle parked outside, and then takes Ford on a spin through Mooresville, N.C.
Patrick said she was not acting when she flirted with Stenhouse, whom she's been dating for a while. "When I look at him I smile," she said, "so that was not hard."
Patrick is certainly accustomed to mainstream spotlight. She's graced numerous magazine covers and been involved in countless photo shoots, not to mention prominently displayed in the sometimes racy Super Bowl commercials for her sponsor, GoDaddy.
The attention is a little more new to Stenhouse, a Sprint Cup rookie, which makes it a bit odd that he's the one who has to deliver some lines in the video. Patrick never speaks.
"When we got the call to do that I told her we had to. It was the first time I had ever done anything like that and you could tell it was a little nerve-racking," Stenhouse said. "It seemed like everybody liked the video so far, so it was cool."
Patrick said the filming was completed just a few weeks ago.
"It's cool to see it out. It was a lot of fun to do. It was a beautiful day in Mooresville that day," Patrick said. "Those are the fun things that you get to do outside of the car. I enjoyed that, that was good fun and obviously I had a pretty hot mechanic working on the car."
Ford, whose real name is Jason Brown, released his first album in 2008. He also co-wrote and originally recorded the song "Dirt Road Anthem" that Brantley Gilbert turned into a hit.
His style's a fusion of country and rap, and it seems to suit Patrick just fine.
"I grew up listening to rap," she said. "I like rap, especially the kind of rap you can understand what he's saying. Putting a southern twist on it is good, so I like it. I like unique-sounding music and he definitely has that for country music."

The light is changing... summer is ending
Suddenly it's the end of August, and everything is different: The light has started to tilt and deepen, and the landscape has that burnished look, as if it's been drenched in honey and ripened by sun. The world seems balanced; we stand at the brink of September, at the edge of the turn of the year. But we can't linger: The year is looking at her watch and impatiently tapping her foot. "It's been a great summer," she says, "but nothing lasts forever. Time to accept the fact that summer is almost over."
I was on retreat at a Trappist monastery for a couple of days, and even though my time away felt to me (as it always does) like it was much too brief, it looks and feels as if I was out of town for a lot longer. Last week, we were still deep in summer, afloat on the thick green hammock of August, with plump heavy peaches, long hot afternoons, and big ears of Olathe sweet corn. Just a few days later, the weather is cooler, the kids are in school, and when I went to pick up my daily ration, the Corn Guys informed me -- very gently because they know how dangerous Corn Fanatics like me can be -- that this was the last week this year they would be selling corn. But don't panic, they said (because I was panicking): We'll be back next year! Besides, look, we have apples now, first of the year; don't they smell good?
Apples, I thought. And they did smell good. But my heart took a sad little tumble as I thought, it's true. It really is the beginning of the end of the summer, and the start of the start of the fall.
I'm not really complaining, because I love autumn; it might be my favorite season. Then again, I love all four seasons of the year. You will never see me retiring to Florida or Arizona: I've lived in those climates and cultures, and frankly I'd just as soon spend the rest of my life imprisoned inside a mall. I am enthralled by the dance of seasons. Yes, I complain about my arthritis in winter, but I do that anyway, regardless of the weather.
Generally speaking, my only complaint about the weather in western Colorado is that there isn't enough of it. Although I can't say that's been true this year -- we've had some wild thunderstorms. Why is it that we only call disasters "Acts of God"? A cottonwood smashing through your roof is considered a bona fide Act of You-Know-Who, but a cottonwood standing in the middle of a field, its round leaves sparkling in sunlight, is taken for granted and almost not seen. It's just a tree, and who pays attention to trees?
Maybe that's why I like the seasons so much; when they change, you can't help but notice the trees. Even winter brings its own beauty: When all the leaves are gone, you can see the unfettered shapes of the trees, the landscape simple and clean, and the beauty that lies in the bones of things. The constant changes help us see the world's bright beauty. Otherwise, we get bored and take it for granted, pulling out our mental clickers and changing the channels.
The painter Edgar Degas once said: "If the leaves of the trees did not move, how sad the trees would be, and we too." I don't think we notice the world unless it changes. I wish that weren't true, because change can be heartbreaking, as Joni Mitchell sings: "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone?" But we don't have to lose things in order to love them. Not if we pay attention, here and now.
Every year, I think about freezing some corn, but I never do. I think it's because I know how much I will enjoy it again next summer, after long abstinence. Besides, the new local foods are ready to eat; not just apples, but all kinds of good things. Soon the trees will be yellow and gold, and then the fields will be white, and then another spring will come around. God holds the circle of time in big hands, and I live inside that circle, and trust it.

Mieres, Asturias, 1975
He started to become interested in photography just before starting to study for his Chemistry Degree. He took his first photographs in different editions of the university yearbook, but he soon realized that what he really wanted to do was action sport photography, after many years of dedication to such sports, and in particular, snowboarding.
Between 1999 and 2010 he worked as a freelance photographer for most national publications from the sector, such as Surfer Rule, Solo Nive, Solo Snowboard or Snow Planet and for other international publications such as Skiing or Playboard.
He also worked for the following brands: Nike ACG, Quiksilver, Nitro Snowboards and public entities, including the Principality of Asturias.
From 2006 to 2009 he started to work as a photographic editor for the publication Spotmag.
In February 2007 he joined the photographer group Cazadores de Luz, in which he and his colleagues published two books, "Cazadores de Luz: Las mejores fotografías de los grandes fotógrafos españoles" National Geographic/RBA with a foreword by Steve McCurry and "Cazadores de Luz: Secretos y Técnicas" Alameda Editorial.
When the Fujifilm XT1 was first launched, I knew that I would have to try it sooner or later. Through Andrés Parro from Unionwep, I contacted Fujifilm Spain and in November 2014 they gave me a camera to try. In February 2015, I gave a talk entitled "My experience with the XT1" during the BodaF Europe 2015 Congress.
From then on, I decided to change my equipment and work only with 2 XT1 bodies and Fujinon XF 23mm, 35mm 1.4 and 56mm 1.2
During the whole of 2015 I took photographs with this equipment at 31 weddings, and I was able to test its capacity to the full
During the year I received many queries about the X system from my colleagues and so at the beginning of 2016 I decided to write a summary of my experience with the X system, called "¿Es válida la XT1 para una boda? Pruebas, dudas y respuestas con boda completa". It was published in February 2016 in the uniowep blog, which is read by most of the trend-setting wedding photographers in Spain.
I also published the same text in my website, translated into English.
In my opinion, the main advantages of the XT1 are:
- its weight
- the electronic viewer
- the folding screen
- its discretion/ low noise level
- the optical quality and compactness of its lenses
Aspects that could be improved.
- the focus
- the joystick
- the life of the battery
I will continue to use cameras from the X series in 2016 as I cannot imagine going back to a reflex camera after working for an entire year with the XT1.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three reform-minded candidates running for the Los Angeles Unified School District board raised nearly four times the donations of their union-backed opponents but won only one of the slots outright, with another headed to a runoff.
In Tuesday's election, reformer incumbent Monica Garcia retained her seat with 56 percent of the vote, as widely foreseen, but in a more unpredictable victory, union-supported incumbent Steve Zimmer retained his with 52.1 percent of the vote. He beat well-funded challenger, Kate Anderson, who ran on a progressive reform slate, and won 47.9 percent.
In a third race with no incumbent running, the candidates are headed to a runoff election in May since neither garnered more than 50 percent of the vote.
In an unusual development for a local school board campaign, the race had captured some national attention as it pitted a reform slate favoring policies such as revamping teacher evaluation, tenure and dismissal rules, against candidates backed by labor unions.
The results were some large donations by high profile donors from as far away as New York.
The Coalition for School Reform, which supported Garcia and Anderson, raised a $3.8 million war chest that included contributions of $1 million from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, $250,000 from Students First, a reform group headed by former District of Columbia chancellor Michelle Rhee, and $250,000 from a subsidiary of News Corp.
Various labor groups donated less than $1 million to the teachers' union-backed slate.
Zimmer's victory was a feather in the cap of the teachers union, which had denounced the donations by outside groups as interference.
"Voters were not swayed by outsiders and their millions," said United Teachers Los Angeles in a statement. "School board seats are not for sale."
Zimmer said the outside money caused a swell of support for him by incensed voters, allowing him to create his own coalition of activists and simply hit the ground, he said.
"Our grass-roots effort reached enough voters, just enough voters," he said.
Anderson said even though her campaign was well funded, she was up against experienced politickers.
"These organizations know how to win elections," she said. "It wasn't just about the money."
Garcia defended the outside donations, saying the district is the nation's second largest and thus is closely watched. The funds helped her get her message out, but her campaign also used door-knocking and phone calls, she said.
"It is appropriate for people to keep an eye on LA," Garcia said. "We impact the country. LA has to be a leader in urban reform."
Raphael Sonenshein, executive director of the Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at California State University Los Angeles, noted that old-fashioned boots-on-the-ground union campaigning won out in the hotly contested Zimmer-Anderson race.
"School board races don't do well on a national level. The whole point of the school board is that it's local," he said.

At its December meeting, the School Committee announced that since adopting their $8.4 million school budget for fiscal 2002-03, Blue Cross of Rhode Island sent their actual figures for the coming year, which will save the school more than $49,000 over the estimated amount.

(AP) Nuggets beat Thunder for first 13-game win streak
By JEFF LATZKE
AP Sports Writer
Ty Lawson scored 25 points, Andre Miller had 20 points and nine assists and the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-104 Tuesday night to win a 13th straight game for the first time since joining the NBA.
The Nuggets trailed by one at halftime but took control in the third quarter and never let Oklahoma City reclaim the lead. Denver moved within 3 1/2 games of the Thunder in the Northwest Division and became the first team this season to beat Oklahoma City three times.
It's also a big win in the chase for home-court advantage in the playoffs for Denver, which is tied with Miami for the NBA's best home record at 30-3.
Kevin Durant had 34 points and Russell Westbrook chipped in 25 for Oklahoma City, which lost at home for just the fifth time this season.
The Thunder gave up a season-worst 72 points in the paint _ Denver's specialty _ as both teams struggled throughout the game from 3-point range. The Nuggets had 66 and 60 points in the lane in wins against Oklahoma City in Denver earlier this season.
Denver's previous longest winning streak in the NBA was 12 straight games in 1982. The franchise won 15 in a row in the ABA.
The Nuggets trailed 66-65 at halftime, but took the lead on Danilo Gallinari's 3-pointer and then followed Westbrook's tying, two-handed dunk off an inbound alley-oop pass by charging ahead with a 12-2 run. Andre Iguodala's right-handed, fast-break slam _ created by Gallinari's steal _ put Denver up 80-70 midway through the third and prompted Scott Brooks' second timeout to try and end the surge.
After back-to-back Thunder baskets, the Nuggets added to their cushion with seven straight points _ a Lawson 3-pointer, a Corey Brewer jumper and then an 18-footer by Lawson _ to make it 87-74 with 2:59 left in the third.
Oklahoma City got as close as 102-97 when Westbrook hit a 17-foot jumper from the left elbow with 4:08 to play, but Miller had back-to-back jumpers as Denver answered right back with five straight points. Miller closed it out from the foul line after that.
Miller scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, hitting five of six foul shots in the final 69 seconds.
The Nuggets had six players score in double figures, getting 13 apiece from Kenneth Faried and Gallinari, 11 from Corey Brewer and 10 from Iguodala. Faried also grabbed 15 rebounds as Denver overcame a 14-6 first-quarter rebounding deficit to beat Oklahoma City 52-45 on the glass.
Wilson Chandler, who tied his career-high with 35 points in a win at Chicago a night earlier, did not return after separating his left shoulder in the fourth quarter.
Kevin Martin had 14 points off the bench for Oklahoma City and Kendrick Perkins had 11 rebounds, but did not play over the final 18 minutes as Denver build up its big rebounding edge.
The Nuggets were 4 for 21 from 3-pointer range, only slightly better than Oklahoma City's 4 for 25.
The Thunder led 38-28 early in the second after Martin's leaning basket from the right wing as the shot clock was running down. Denver took advantage of Oklahoma City's bench to score the next eight points, all on layups and a dunk, to tighten it up again.

Complaints filed against Hooksett town councilor accused of publicly discussing personnel matter
By BRENDAN CLOGSTON
Union Leader Correspondent
Formal complaints have been filed against Hooksett Town Councilor Vincent Lembo, who is accused of publicly discussing a personnel matter.
David Pearl and Mark Miville of Hooksett have filed complaints with council Chairman Jim Sullivan against Lembo. During the debate over the proposed layoff of administrative assistant Evelyn Horn, Lembo stated that he believed Town Administrator Dr. Dean Shankle, who proposed the layoff, was being "very vindictive towards Evelyn" after she allegedly "spoke up." Lembo also referenced the administrative assistant by name several times in the conversation.
Both complaints accuse Lembo of violating RSA 91A:3c, a state law indicating subjects that must be discussed in a nonpublic session. The law defines one such subject as "matters which, if discussed in public, would likely affect adversely the reputation of any person, other than a member of the public body itself, unless such person requests an open meeting."
"I think they violated the rules," Pearl said. "I filed the complaint because I think it's a violation. It doesn't really matter if it's Vinny, or Todd (Lizotte), or somebody else."
Lembo could not be reached for comment.
The council's policies require them to take up any formal complaint levied against a councilor.
"I think the interesting component to this is the council now has to take it up. And I don't know what they're going to do with it," said Pearl. "That's a state law. You can't excuse state law. The council doesn't have the power to do that."
Pearl has also called for Lembo's resignation from the council.
"He should (resign)," said Pearl. "I don't know what the council's remedy for it is, and he has put his council in a difficult position, so he should recuse himself from the council."
Lembo was elected to the council in 2010. His term will expire in 2013. Pearl and Lembo have been at odds over a similar issue in the past, though on opposite sides.
In 2011, Pearl criticized the previous council chairman, William Sirak, during a public input session for allegedly misrepresenting an issue dealing with the police commission. Sirak attempted to prevent Pearl from speaking, saying that Pearl meant to engage in "personalities." Pearl had forwarded a copy of his remarks to the council. Lembo supported Sirak, and after Pearl refused to leave the public input table, Lembo suggested police be called to remove him.

By Nicole Froio, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Around 100,000 people are expected to protest in the city center of Rio today against the bill that would redistribute an estimated R$77 billion the state by 2020 from oil royalties. According to calculations made by State Secretary of Economic Development, if the bill passes the state of Rio will lose R$3.4 billion in 2013 alone.
The protesters, who will be arriving at around 2PM today, will be speaking on behalf of the campaign "Veta, Dilma!" (Veto it, Dilma!), that asks President Dilma Rousseff to veto the bill and save the state from the losses it would result in.
The law would see oil royalties distributed between Brazilian states, instead of keeping the profit in Rio de Janeiro only. The campaign against the bill claims that this is an unfair move as the state also suffers from exploring oil and other states don't.
The "Veta, Dilma" campaign was organized by the state government and will bring protesters from all over the state of Rio to Centro by special buses. Centro's main roads will be blocked from early on in the morning to ensure everyone arrives in time.
State and federal congressmen are expected to turn up, along with state secretaries, mayors, performers and artists. Espirito Santo governor Renato Casagrande will also be present.
Choreographer Carlinho de Jesus told O Dia: "The petroleum is ours, the redistribution of royalties is unthinkable. The damages that come with oil exploration, now that's something no one wants to share."
Rio de Janeiro governor Sérgio Cabral is confident the President will veto the bill. He said, in a meeting in preparation of the protest last week, that the state would not accept the law if it came into action and that the real issue was the royalties regarding current business deals.
Cabral said: "Now, when it is proposed that current contracts are invaded, we will not accept it and we ask for a veto from President Dilma."
More information about the blocking of avenues and streets in Centro can be found here and organizers of the protest ask that those attending use public transport as opposed to cars.

BEIJING (AP) — A Tibetan herdsman has died after setting himself on fire in northwest China's Qinghai province, state media reported Saturday, in the latest in a series of protests against Chinese rule.
The official Xinhua News Agency says Dazheng, 27, self-immolated in Zekog county on Friday night but provides no further details about why the man set himself ablaze.
The death came one day after Libong Tsering, 19, self-immolated in Tongren county in the same province on Thursday, according to an earlier Xinhua report. Both Tongren and Zekog are located within the Huangnan prefecture. A government worker from Huangnan prefecture, which oversees the counties, said on Saturday he had no information on the deaths and refused to identify himself, which is common among officials in Tibetan regions when the topic involves self-immolations.
The self-proclaimed Tibetan government-in-exile based in India has confirmed Libong Tsering's death and reported another self-immolation in Gansu province on Thursday night by Tadin Kyab, a 23-year-old former monk.
On Tuesday, Xinhua reported two Tibetan herdsmen killed themselves by setting themselves on fire in two separate incidents.
The latest deaths bring to about 80 the number of Tibetans who have self-immolated since 2009 in protest against what overseas supporters say is China's strict control over Tibet's Buddhist culture and a suffocating security presence in Tibetan regions.
Most of the protesters have doused themselves with gasoline and set themselves alight after shouting slogans calling for Tibetan independence and blessings for the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled Buddhist leader. China blames him for encouraging the wave of self-immolations that Beijing has apparently been powerless to stop despite stepped-up security and an extensive spying network.
The self-proclaimed Tibetan government-in-exile on Friday repeated a call for China to reassess its policies toward Tibetans.
"The Central Tibetan Administration urges the Chinese government to address the underlying grievances of the Tibetan people, instead of imposing counter-productive measures targeting the families and relatives of the self-immolators," it said in a statement, using the formal name of the body headquartered in the northern Indian town of Dharamsala.

Forget waiting until March 17 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day — you can go green as early as this weekend.
Forget waiting until March 17 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day — you can go green as early as this weekend.
Green with frenzy at Sheridan's
Sheridan's Irish Pub will host its 9th annual block party, a precursor to their St. Patty's Day party, which will feature adult tricycle races (outside Sheridan's on Main Street) on Saturday (6 p.m. to 8 p.m.). Trophies will be awarded to the winner of the men's division and winner of the lady's division.
The block party will include music from DJ Jay (4 p.m. to 8 p.m.) and live tunes from Glass Onion (8 p.m. to 12 a.m.). At the end of the night, a cab driver will be on site for folks in need of a designated driver, said Shirley Sheridan, co-owner of Sheridan's Irish Pub with her husband, Joe.
On March 17, the official day of St. Patty's Day, Sheridan's will kick the day off with a traditional Irish breakfast (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) that will include scrambled eggs, Irish sausage, Irish bacon, beans and stewed tomatoes. Then acoustic duo Benny and Bill will provide the venue's soundtrack with traditional Irish tunes.
"The awesome thing this year is we have a weekend between, so people have a chance to rest up from the block party to the St. Patrick's Day party," Shirley said.
Since Sheridan's has been successful offering traditional Irish cuisine year-round, from shepherd's pie to corned beef and cabbage, Shirley says she and Joe don't need to do much out of the ordinary to please patrons on St. Patty's Day.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it," she said. "We stick with the same [motto]: come have fun and behave yourselves."
Taste of Ireland at Celtic Pub
The Celtic Pub will host a St. Patty's Day celebration from Saturday until March 17, offering corned beef and cabbage each day. The Celtic Pub will also host karaoke with DJ Karnival Chris on Saturday and Monday (from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.).
This Saturday also marks the second anniversary of the Celtic Pub, which further excites its owners, John and Shanan Engle.
"We've met a lot of great people since we've been in town," John said. "It's been a great second year and we look forward to many more."
Parade Sunday: walking the green mile
Presented by the Smyrna-Clayton July 4th Association, the 6th annual St. Patrick's Parade will be bigger and better with more than 40 organizations and businesses (compared to last year's 30-plus participants) that are slated to grace the event on Sunday.
The parade will include favorites like the Citizens' Hose Fire Company marching band, Smyrna High School marching band and car clubs. Newcomers in the parade will include SportZone and the Celtic Pub, said Joanne Masten, chairwoman of the Smyrna-Clayton July 4th Association.
The parade will start at St. Polycarp Roman Catholic Church (located on Ransom Street) and work its way to George C. Wright Jr. Municipal Park (on Main Street). The deadline for groups to register in the parade is this Saturday at 5 p.m. See the information box for more info.
"I love parades and I also love giving back to the community," beamed Masten. "I'm very excited."
As for the growth of the parade, Masten attributes a portion of it to the Smyrna-Clayton July 4th Association's diligence in rounding up new participants.
"We make a concentrated effort to call the organizations to see if they want to be active," she added. And so far, "I haven't heard anyone say no," she smiled.

PlayStation 2 Video Game Console
video game console
The Sony PlayStation 2 is the best-selling video game console of all time, with over 100 million units sold worldwide. The PS2 (as it is commonly known) has a broader age-range appeal than its main rivals, the Nintendo GameCube and the Microsoft Xbox. Released in 2000, the PS2 was backwards-compatible with Sony's previous-generation console, the PlayStation, but featured better graphics and more processing speed. Like the Nintendo GameCube (but unlike the Microsoft Xbox), the PS2 lacks a hard drive so users must buy a separate memory card to store their games in progress. Users can play this game either by themselves on their own TV or connected with other players through the internet.

'Pacific Rim'
Release date: July 12 Guillermo del Toro's fanboy dreams are coming to life in his upcoming giant monsters versus giant robots movie "Pacific Rim." The film brings together "Sons of Anarchy" leads Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Charlie Day, "Thor's" Idris Elba and "Babel's" Rinko Kinkuchi for a project that looks to be reminiscent of classic Japanese monster films. Not much has been revealed of the movie, but what has been shown has looked visually impressive. Del Toro has proved time and again that he's a master world-builder, so it's exciting to see him tackle an original idea once again. -- Terri Schwartz, Zap2it
